Google Emojis on Samsung Kit Kat

If you've been using emojis now in kit kat, you've probably noticed that the emojis are different from the AOSP ones.

This is because these new kit kat emojis found in this rom are from samsung and not from google. So now samsung created their own emojis and will put them in their kit kat firmwares for the next devices and updates.

If you want to have the original emojis from google and not the ones from samsung, there's a solution for it.

- First of all, do a Nandroid backup (it is always useful to have a recent one)

- Then make a backup of the folder /system/fonts/ to, for example, external card

- Now copy the two fonts in attachment here to /system/fonts/ and replace the ones inside. (root explorer is recommended for this)

- Change the permissions of the two files to rw-r--r--

- Reboot the device

Voilá! you now have the original emojis from google.

If anytime you want the samsung ones back, just make the above process again, now with the two files you just backed up before from the fonts folder.

:good:

Now a new " thingy" has happened:

When I want to boot my phone into recovery via hw buttons it doens't work and gives message:

"RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING"

when i boot to recovery via software menu (Gravitybox advance power menu) it gives the same message but it DOES boot into recovery.

What has happened here and how can i fix it?

Thanks in advance![/QUOTE]

That message has always been there after flashing a custom recovery and if you just keep holding the power up button it will boot into recovery

Want to install v19 on my GT-i9595, so far I have it rooted and have CWM installed but it's otherwise stock

How do I know if I have the correct modem?

How do I know if I have the old bootloader of the new one, which one do I need to flash?

This is a bit confusing
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MegaMike604:
Did you install with a full wipe? This could cause issues or you could have a Xposed module causing this, try disabling them.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] SherlockHolmes2013:
Everything works fine EXCEPT the issue with Power AMP and Music not reading the external SD card. Hope they fix it or does anyone have a work around?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ch061441:
You have to set the permissions of /mnt/media_rw to 777,, then power amp will see the ext sd.

After reboot needed again… .
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] SherlockHolmes2013:
Sorry but what is 777? Is that like r-r-r-w?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] pacman2009:
am I ok to go from omega v12 to v19. without wipe ?:confused:

I have old bootloader XXUB so will be doing .GSM_Modem_XXUEMJ5_and_LTE_Modem_XXUBMH1.tar file. as per instructions.

thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] wastegate76:
Modem doesn't matter too much, you can try different 4.3 modems once you are on v19.

To find out what bootloader you have, shutdown the phone and restart it into download mode (hold volume down while power on, then volume up at first menu) you should then see the Download mode with small text up the top. If your bootloader mentions KNOX anywhere then you have the latter bootloader. If KNOX is NOT mentioned, then you have the early bootloader.

If you have the early bootloader then follow the first one and flash the modems with ODIN, once that is done then flash v19 through CWM.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] danyw:
777 is permission for everything and everyone I think. Basically rwxrwxrwx
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Trace6x:
Thank you! I have the newer bootloader, what do the different modems do anyway?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] SherlockHolmes2013:
Does that mean all the boxes ticked?

Would be nice if someone put up a screenshot of the permissions in root explorer.

Hi!

Can anyone help me out here?

I am on stock 4.2.2 (no knox) and want to go to 4.3 without installing knox. I read that I must flash this first since I am on old bootloader.

GSM_Modem_XXUEMJ5_and_LTE_Modem_XXUBMH1.tar

I cannot get it to flash. It fails everytime in odin. I have tried switching usbports, and I have tried Odin 3.04, 3.07 and 3.09. They all fail. It flashes almost through, then fails.

Is there anything I can do? Or do I have to download a stock-firmware and try to flash that?

Now I boot to a recovery-screen telling me to connect to kies. I can get into download mode.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ICECOLDKILLAH:

I set PowerAMP to automatically find all music files (in settings / files) and it found all my external sd music folders without having to change any permissions :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] beastobadness:
There is a finite few of users, reasons unknown, that on the leaked 4.4 certain apps can't see the extsdcard (eg. Poweramp, ES Explorer, etc...). I fell into that category. This mnt/media_rx permission change fixed all apps for me!

Ok guys, now I am getting worried...

I did exaclty what was told to flash v21.

I flashed BL and modem with odin and checked it. the baseband was indeed the NA5

then i flashed latest version of twrp with odin rebooted and went into recovery there I did a factory reset and a userdata wipe. flashed the rom from external sd with a full wipe and everything went smooth. rebooted and now it is on the round omega icon which is turning round and round for over 15 minutes now.

tried everything from scratch again but I cant get it booting up anymore? (without the factory reset and userdatawipe, as this was not needed) Please help? What am I doing wrong?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] acho07:
Update your recovery with the one recommended by indie and flash rom again...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] heessie:
But thats what I did, he says use the latest TWRP recovery. I got the latest from the link he specified?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] SherlockHolmes2013:
You started out right but then screwed up. After flashing TWRP all you had to do was flash V21 with Full Wipe. NO factory reset.,

The ROM is prerooted and no factory reset was necessary, Suggest you start over .

You didn't follow INdies instructions. Where does it say FACTORY RESET?? It doesn't ., Just do FULL WIPE install of V21. EVerything is built in to take care of it.,
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] acho07:
That's strange you did everything right then it should work. I used Odin 3.04 to flash BL and modem with auto reboot off. Then rebooted in to download mode again to flash them both. I know you said you check the modem but try again. You could also try fixing permissions in recovery to see of it helps. If not then try downloading the ROM again and/or try and different SD card. Hope that helped.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] SherlockHolmes2013:
He didn't follow the instructions., He did a Factory reset. which is a NO NO. all he had to do was flash V21 FULL Wipe but he added an unnecssary step. That is where the screwed up,
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] acho07:
Why is that a no no what difference would that make after he has installed the ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] heessie:
You are right, I screwed up. from where do I start over as I already have tried everything again (without the factory reset off course)

Bricked ???

Please HELP!

I tried to change back from v21 (4.4.2) to a basic Australian ROM (SamFiles - MK9) with Odin 3.04 to restart the procedure for rooting etc and come back to v19 (4.3) as I had problem with my SMS in v20-20.1 and 21...

The phone stopped during the up/downgrade with a picture "of the phone an exclamation mark and the PC" saying

"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"

Desperately I d/l and tried Kies even the Kies3 but it can't connect saying "The device can't connect reboot and try again" with the same results...

Did I brick my phone?

PLEASE anybody can help me????

NO, you are not bricked., I had the same thing a few months ago,.

I forgot how I got out of it but I suggest you take battery out for an hour. If you can get into DOWNLOAD you are not bricked,

Unable to boot

Hi, I followed all the instructions and flashed Omega Rom v 19, however my phone is not booting up. It starts up, says Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505 and then goes black.

I've tried twice now, with full wipe.

Before flashing I was successfully running Omega v 16 - with the correct modems.

It is still able to boot into recovery and Odin mode.

Please help, I'm nearly in tears!

If all go OK is any way to return to 4.3 from 4.4.2???
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] SherlockHolmes2013:
First if you have flashed the new bootloader and modems as per Indies instructions and flashed them via Odin, then the next step is flash TWRP via Odin,

Then and go into recovery using 3 finger method. Go to INSTALL, find V21 and flash FULL WIPE, no need to do anything else.,

Do NOT do another Factory reset in TWRP. Just flash FULL WIPE.

After flashing and setting up phone go to the phone keypad and put in *#1234# and you should AP- NA5 CP-NA5 and CSC - NA5

Trying to go back to 4.3 after flashing the new NA5 booloader is more difficult.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Terry.666:
Thanks for your effort to help me.

I have done all this, as I ALWAYS follow Indy's instructions and all gone fine. But from v20 then v20.1 and v21 I couldn't restore my SMS (3000 of them) that's why I decided to try to go back to v19 with the "SAFE" way "I read in XDA BEFORE I flashed the first 4.4.2" meaning that to d/l and keep from SAMIfiles the latest 4.3 just in case with the known results...

I didn't make Factory reset, I think you confusing me with an other user.

Every time I'm trying to flash, that's the results in ODIN 3.04

themes

Hi

I am on v21 , it is working wonderful !!!

dose some one test or using themes with it !!!

thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] SherlockHolmes2013:
Flash the new bootloader separately and tick the ''update bootloader option'' but use Odin 3.09

if that succeeds then go back and reflash both the modem and bootloader again,

Then TWRP and then FULLWIPE install of V21.

Edit

Also re install KIES on your PC to make sure you have all the right USB drivers and finally try another USB cable. I used the USB cable that came with the phone as another one I had didn't work,

Sorry, I misunderstood you,

If you updated the latest bootloader you cannot flash V19, without big problems,
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MrC85:
If I have read your posts correctly you are trying to go from 4.4.2 to 4.3, the problem you are encountering is that Samsung have locked the bootloader so you cannot downgrade it (which is why it will always fail when you Odin a stock firmware package)

You could try flashing a stock 4.4.2 ROM (there is a NA5 leak on sammobile) and see if that fixes any issues you had then try flashing v21 again?

I tried downgrading my phone to 4.3 O/S as the weekend and found that it was possible to flash it but you need to extract a few files from the stock package and then repackage them (with md5 sig) and flash that - unfortunately while I got the phone to boot and work it locked up and crashed every time I received a phone call, will try again when I get the time.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Vishak315:
Thanks for the prompt reply.

I haven't updated to the latest bootloader or modems. I'm on the XXUEMJ5 modems and the XXUD bootloader.

It was working fine on V16, but today I tried to update to V19 and after that it doesn't go past the Samsung screen.

I tried reflashing 3 times with CWM, and then even tried flashing V16 again once. Then I flashed TWRP and tried again.

But I've had the same issue on all attempts

I'm really panicking now.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] SherlockHolmes2013:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] SherlockHolmes2013:

I won't be going back. Phone works fine now, Waiting for other tweaks in new upcoming Omega 4.4.2

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] SherlockHolmes2013:
Attention

To all of you who had a working phone on some version and now have problems,

ALWAYS, I repeat ALWAYS make a full NANDROID backup before flashing new ROMS.

Then you can easily get back your phone to the way it was.

This should be the first cardinal rule of flashing,

Save yourself LOTS of headaches,

Just my 2 cents worth,

New bootloader (NA5) is not compatible with V19.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] asbanoglou:
How can i check if i am on new bootloader?I dont think i have it cause i am not using a leaked version of 4.4.2 just an AOSP project.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] SherlockHolmes2013:
Reminder to all

When going from V19 (4.3) to V21 (4.4.2) the bootloader will change,

Once you have installed new bootloader and want to restore a V19 Nandroid, the phone will work but you won't have wifi or sound,

Because 4.4.2 is a NEW system (KITKAT) and not JellyBean,

So if you decide to take the plunge, do it right and follow Indies instructions to the letter,
