Mods for Samsung Galaxy Grand GT-I9082L

​

For those like me who have the new Galaxy Grand latin variant (GT-I9082L), here are a list of mods that I have found, tested and done. These tweaks and mods will make your Galaxy Grand much more powerful and sport the latest developments available from Samsung. This should also work on the I9082.

Please read through direction, for some require modding system files. Device must be ROOTED. I am NOT responsible for you bricking your device.

System Tweaks:

- ROOT & K2WL CWM TOUCH : Thread

Just as you would root most Samsung devices.

1. Download k2wl's Recovery Image LINK

2. Run Odin3, under the PDA button, select Recovery Image.

3. Boot phone in Download mode (Vol-,Home, Power)

4. Start Odin3, wait until Reboot.

- PIMP MY ROM (BETA): Thread

A Performance must! This is THE tool to have. It literally transforms your stock ROM into a custom ROM without any hazzle. Makes the Grand super fast, super smooth, and stable. Recommended: Before tweaking, make Rescue Package.

My 'Superformance Tweaks':

• Tools:

Entropy Generator:

ON. Feed Interval: 1 sec., Fill Watermark: 90%

GPS Configuration:

Select Closest Continent/Country for faster GPS lock.

- VELIS AUTO BRIGHTNESS

The LCD display on the Galaxy Grand is "not bad", and i hate how laggy the auto brightness is. Velis Auto Brightness has solved all my display issues! Not only does it brighten the screen to a more similar AMOLED look, but the auto brightness is superb.

- Set Preset: TFT BRIGHT

- Light Sensitivity: Low Sensitivity (This is personal preference)

After the wizard, go into settings, BRIGHTNESS CHANGE SENSITIVITY: 30 PERCENT. Similar scale to S4.

Download from Google Play.

- DISABLE S VOICE HOME KEY LAUNCH (LAG)

This glitch or lag is also present in the S2 and S3. When the 'Open via the home key' option is selected in S Voice, the app is monitoring Touchwiz for this action, which lags it.

- Untick 'Open via the home' in S Voice Settings

Pocket Now on a tip video recommends to use a third-party app to assign Google Now/Search to the home key.

Apps & Widgets:

- ACCUWEATHER S4 STYLE WIDGET

S4 Style Accuweather Widget by Balliboxer. LINK
