Hard to answer... But if u really worry abt warranty or only if u hav issues, u can try unroot by using the Superuser app thru selection frm it's menu.

If the status is still custom. Then u will need to restore n reflash the firmware via Odin. U can oso refer the the post frm me earlier!

I've been watching the DEV thread and I saw that the next order of business is getting CM to work. I wish you luck but I remember that CM porting was a very complicated thing for my old phone (i9001). On that device's thread there are about 4 working ports all having different problems with the CM specific functions. (I guess that's because no official support is present...)

Someone know how to root Galaxy Express 2 (SM-G3815)

Will it work Galaxy Express 1 or Galaxy S4 mini root ¿? Because S4 mini is 100% identical at hardware.
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 Questions & Answer] aureljared:
We're not sure about root for the GE2, but you can try any of the methods below that worked for the GE1:

1. Motochopper

2. Framaroot

3 (deprecated): OneClickRoot

Also, can you send us a stock recovery image when you get root? Thanks.

PS: The GE1 and the S4 mini aren't 100% identical; the S4 mini has a different CPU clock speed and it's quadcore.
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 Questions & Answer] Deadmau.5:
No man, the Express 2 is 100% identical, even they have the same 100% CPU. S4 mini has dual core not quad mate haha has the same Snapdragon 8930 like S4 Mini.

If I try it only I can fail ? I don't want to brick it :(

Regards!
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 Questions & Answer] aureljared:
Oh haha sorry. My sources must have been wrong.

Yes, there is always the possibility of failure, but it won't brick your phone; all methods involve pushing files to /data/local/tmp.

I am quite sure that the S4 mini has MSM8930AB, while our Express / Express 2 have MSM8930.
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 Questions & Answer] Deadmau.5:
Mate Express 2 is different because has MSM8930AB @ 1.7Ghz like S4 mini and 1.5GB RAM like S4 mini, while Express has 1.2Ghz MSM8930 and 1GB RAM. http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_express_2_-5803.php

So for that i'm asking of S4 mini recovery because they are 100% the same. Only the difference is that the S4 mini has 1280x720 and Express 2 has 960x540, but 4.5" (0,2" more) and more battery (2130mAh vs 1900)

Regards!
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 Questions & Answer] aureljared:
Thanks for pointing that out, mate :good:

You mentioned that they have different resolutions. That affects the framebuffer, right? Because we tried flashing the S4 mini's CWM onto the GE1 and the screen is cropped (the options are not completely visible). But once we mated the CWM ramdisk with the Samsung kernel, everything went fine.

I suggest we do the same for the GE2.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samose:
Long story short: About four months ago I was a happy iPhone 4 user. I really loved the camera quality and with Camera+ I could edit the pictures I made, which was great too.

In November 2012 I switched to the Galaxy S3. Loved everything about it except for the (wait for it.......) camera. It sucked so baldy, especially when coming from an iPhone.

I got my Galaxy S4 yesterday and I really love the camera :D It's much better than the iPhone 4 and even beating my dad's iPhone 5 (I'm talking about outdoor shots). But what I don't get is that some reviewers get extremely bad pictures with it. The reason they do get those blurry and noisy pictures is the stock camera app. Obviously, there's no auto-focus before the picture is taken. And the results are terrible. I even remember using the stock Samsung camera app on my old GS3 when I went on vacation after I bought it. I took many pictures and when I arrived home I had to find out that they were blurry (very nasty, actually). The disappointment was so big that I literally spent hours looking for a decent camera app.

Then I found Snap Camera HDR. The pics were better, but SGS3 camera still sucked (maybe I just caught a bad lens on my model).

So now, on my SGS4 I compared the stock app with Snap Camera. Conclusion: The stock app sucks. A lot. Sure, there's some awesome modes in it like Night Mode, HDR and all that. But who need that if there's no focus? Of all the pictures I took, about 70% were blurred because of its lack of a decent focus. It makes sense when people claim that the HTC One is better for capturing instant shots.

So guys, for shots in outdoor situations, try to use apps like Snap Camera or Camera FV-5. At least you'll have the pictures focused and I'm sure that you'll see some noticable improvement.

And this leads to the next question, namely if there are different sensors built in the two different versione (Snapdragon & Exynos). Some people here in the forum claim that the I9500 uses the Exmor RS and the I9505 uses the exmor R. When you look at some pictures of Chinese reviews one could think that it is true. But on the other hand, why would Samsung do that? Seriously?

For my part it's probably because of the guys using the I9500. Maybe they're using apps with better focus to get all out of the camera. Maybe they're using some stands for the shots they take. Or maybe they just have steady hands. I don't know. But using two different senors wouldn't make sense. I even called Samsung here in Switzerland and they told me that both versions have the same sensor when it comes to the camera.

I took some pics so you can see how they look like when you shoot them with Snap Camera HDR. The level of detail looks exactly like the one on the I9500 reviews from Russia and China. But judge yourself. Note that the pics were shot at bad conditions (rainy and cloudy weather). More pictures are coming next week.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkkain:
I think, they both are using the same camera sensor. Difference in some picture are because there may be a dirty lens or not steady shot. All photos of i9500 and i9505 are very good and have the same parameters.
