ive seen those is there a way to have it set as that ? i noticed it has scroll and you have to click on the top left corner...no big deal anyway.

also is there a way to add a few on there ? is torch on it ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Lympe:
Hello and thanks for the great roms.

I have installed the pre-rooted MF8.

Am i supposed to lose my root if i make an OTA update because i did an OTA update and my root is safe and sound!

I got a notification for an OTA update. I used triangle away -> System modified workaround. My superSU was disabled for a few minutes. I did the update and my root was enabled shortly after.

Now i am on MGA, rooted and official status.

Just asking because in the first page it clearly mentions that root is lost after a software update.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] -Sie-:
Just pull down the notification bar with two fingers.

Hi,

He wants to edit those tiles and put in his own.

:)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ifti_a:
well not edit extacly just extra ones.....like i have got sleep and torch both pretty good.

sync also good and i love the 2G one
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] StuartTheFish:
You have to click that icon in the top right, or swipe down with two fingers, just the same as vanilla 4.2.2. However you can't swipe left or right to change it on touchwiz, whereas you can on vanilla. You also don't seem to be able to add your own toggles on touchwiz, which is crap. I know you can on vanilla, and I liked being able to add torch too.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Zoot Allures:
Yes but vanilla (or whatever based on) don't bother to let us plainly use the hardware provided, there's always this or that that don't work. I got rid of AOKP/AOSP or so.

Exit the BMGA ITV Italy.

The update is I9505XXUBMGA_I9505ITVBMG3_ITV (Android 4.2.2), then the version MGA for S4 NO BRAND ITA.

It's equal to the BMGA spain?

No LTE Network Mode

Hi everyone,

I'm currently using djembey's fantastic deodexed MF2 slim ROM (Thanks man for all your hard work ;) ), but lately I'm experiencing a problem with 4G connectivity. Until now, I was living in an area without LTE signal and thus I never checked if my phone supported it. A couple of days ago I decided to visit my parents, living in a different town, where admittedly LTE coverage is very good, but my phone was receiving full H+ signal only. After checking the available network modes in Settings today, I saw I had only 3 options available:

* WCDMA/GSM (auto)

* WCDMA

* GSM

but no LTE!!!

I suspect that the absence of LTE mode is related to the CSC code of the phone (it came with XEH installed, as the device originated from Hungary, but was sold in my counry, Greece).

Do I have to change CSC to make LTE work, meaning that I will practically reformat my internal SD and lose everything in the process, or can I activate LTE some other way?

Thank you in advance,

-- ernani
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ernani:
I found a workaround (more like a hack) to enable 4G for my device. There seem to be some 4G enables in Google Playstore that do the trick under the hood, but LTE as a network mode is still not displayed in settings (e.g. 4G Toggle, Viaero 4G Toggle - I used the latter one).

Nevertheless, the question remains. If I would like to make the LTE network mode available, what should I do during my next ROM flashing, so that I don't invalidate my device's warranty (I don't know if changing CSC affects it), and if possible avoiding to format my internal SD in the process...

Thank you in advance,

-- ernani
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Leejay1953:
I had the same problem. Install I9505_Enable_LTE.zip. It's available from another thread, I think, "Unroot/Unbrick..." Best do a search of all the threads on the I9505 forum. You have to copy the file to your internal SD card and flash it through CWM recovery. I am not sure if you can do it with stock recovery. After I flashed the file I got the additional option LTE/WCDMA/GSM preferred.

Before that I installed the Telinfo app from Play Store. It gives you numerous options for network mode, also LTE only. However, with LTE only selected I could neither make nor receive telephone calls.

Good luck! LJ

could someone please point me in the right direction to which rom i should use im on EE in the uk and am new to android i have i9505 so many versions i dont know which one to use
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ernani:
Thanks a lot! I believe for that you need CWM recovery as you say. I'll give it a try!

Thanks,

---------- Post added at 07:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:59 AM ----------

Following Leejay1953's lead, and after some searching in XDA forums, I found the answer from BoBCatROM. One can indeed flash I9505_Enable_LTE.zip via CWM recovery or edit the file /data/property/persist.radio.Iteon and change the value from false to true and then reboot!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] malybru:
Hi,

Just use the latest MGA version.

Use the ODIN installation one..

Either full ROM or the slim-line one.

Whichever you prefer.

:)

Anyone else having an issue with the camera where the app crashes after a few seconds after activating the microphone off button?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
Which ROM are you using? Deodexed? If so, go to Apps Manager and clear data/cache from Email and Exchange. Should help.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] GavinTan:
Yup deodexed and ive already cleared the database as suggested by your earlier post. it's good though just strangely only for invites i receive it tries to open and crashes.

I'm wondering if this is the case for the original email app?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
Not sure why it's crashing mate. I'm NOT using Email or Exchange apks so can't comment. Should be OK on Odexexd though.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] GavinTan:
hmm nobody else reporting this so it must be something I've done. I'll try and figure this out.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] r47z:
Microphone there will use S-Voice. Check if you have S-Voice app, or if its disable.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] chubby65:
Working as it should here mate

I had the same on the s3 and to cure the problem i had to uninstall from system apps wipe cache and dalvik reboot then reinstall both apps again

May work for you only way to find out is to try it

Hey guys... Would anyone consider extracting the CSC files from an i9500 ROM from Costa Rica... The ROM is UBUAMDE
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DLAddict:
I am on djembey's pre-rooted XXUBMGA.

Recovery Mode does not work for me. From OFF mode, I press VolUp+Home+Power. Then, I see a small blue "Recovery Booting..." text in the top left corner of the screen, but nothing happens. It stays black. If I stop pressing the three buttons, the phone boots normally.

Download mode works for me (VolUp+Home+Power), and I am able to flash using Odin.

How do I fix the recovery mode? Do I need to flash stock recovery again? Would I lose my data if I do so?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ifti_a:
There is no recovery with this rom, you need to flash your own recovery.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
That's weird because Stock Recovery is included (Odin version ONLY)

Flash it again (no wipe) or just flash recovery.

FYI: booting into recovery can be tricky...

When small blue writing appears let go of just the power button then it should boot into recovery

Failing that download holo reboot from play store mate

Can I flash Pre-rooted bmga over Pre-rooted bmf8 ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] chubby65:
Yes mate you can

---------- Post added at 03:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:17 PM ----------

Your welcome mate
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] fAiLOfax:
You can boot easier into recovery! Because its a small time between restarting and booting into recovery while holding the power-button too long!

When you hold volume-up, home and power-button you feel the vibration of the S4 that indicates the boot. After that moment you can release

the power-button! It will boot into recovery if you still holding the volume-up and home-button.

Advantage: You do not risk to reboot ! ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] amihaila:
You don't have to press Home. VOL UP will do.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] adl:
Really? It always was Power+Home+Vol.up. Have to try that the next time.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] amihaila:
Not for my 9505. Just press vol up/down when rebooting to go to download/recovery.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] james_lpool:
can anyone help, i have tried taken my battery out as suggested when the phone shows as custom but its still saying it.

i tried downgrading to ubmf8 which showed as official before, but even that now says custom.

i was reading up on triangle away and i really am not sure if i want to do that.

what else can i do, i don't want t do a factory reset?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
It must work. You are doing something wrong. :p

Factory Data Reset or forget about Official Device Status! That's it
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] james_lpool:
Ok mate thank you for your help
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] nm8:
Can anyone confirm this. I have flashed the lastest BTU MGA rom and I lost LTe/WCDMA/GSM option in Mobile networks settings. Cheers
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] fAiLOfax:
You have to reset the flashcounter with Triangle Away or the status remains on custom.

Also you have to use stock recovery and I recommend stock kernel too.

After using TA I deinstall it and defreeze "syscope.apk", then flash stock recovery again with sgs4-flasher and reboot.

Done! :good::laugh:

I think I put this in my ROM Flashing Guide for everyone! ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] james_lpool:
Is triangle away easy to use, i read up on it and said it can really damage your phone so was a bit unsure as ive never used it.

is it either that or as dyembey said just do a factory reset in the phone settings? does the phone just show as official once its restarted after a factory reset?

is the TA method really easy?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] StuartTheFish:
Were the pictures saved on an external sd card or on internal storage? As the update could have wiped them depending on how you installed it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] fAiLOfax:
The TA developer must write this because he dont know what you do with it.

Factory reset dont reset flash counter!

TA is really easy. You must watch out that your Phone is recognized ready (e.g. I9505) than it shows you your flashcounter and

below you can choose "Reset Flashcounter" or so! Confirm all messages and the phone will reboot. Than it comes up download-mode witch you leave with holding power-button for 10 seconds. It reboots into a special mode were you can choose (e.g.) Volume-UP to reset counter and VOLUME-Down to reboot normally! Simple as it!

Remember that TA freeze the syscope.apk (in system/app) this have to be unfreezed/defreezed after you delete TA from device.

Sometimes I have to flash stock recovery again to have things clean and state=official. ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Leejay1953:
Flash I9505_Enable_LTE.ZIP through CWM recovery again.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] james_lpool:
failofax if i reinstall the rom in odin and tick to re-parition the phone will that reset the counter as well as formatting it?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] fAiLOfax:
NOOOOO!

Dont alter anything in Odin if you dont want to brick your phone or make it unusable!

Only "Auto Reboot" and "F.Reset Time" is ticked every time you start Odin and thats OK!

Take a look at my "ROM Flashing-Guide" there are more Infos to Flash and some Hints too!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Leejay1953:
Hi there,

After reading virtually all the posts in this threads and OP numerous times I flashed Pre-Rooted-Super-Slim-Deodexed-MGA yesterday. Here is my experience so far.

Problems:

Stock email app stopped working. Solution: Delete app data and clear cache. Re-setup email app = Solved.

WiFi not working. Solution: Flashed DjeMBeY's WiFi Fix. = Solved.

Baseband mismatch: As I was coming from stock MEA, my modem wasn't updated. I flashed MGA modem from DjeMBeY's modem library (very useful). Had to flash MGA modem two times in a row to show updated baseband code in settings (thanks lambstone)

As I did not wipe my phone before flashing, my original settings, apps, and bloatware was still intact.
[MENTION=4398524]DjeMBeY[/MENTION]: May I humbly suggest to amend OP to state that you need to wipe your phone before you flash the deodexed-debloated version of the respective ROM. I think it should also be stated more clearly that modems have to be flashed separately.

Needless to say that for the above you need a custom recovery e.g. CWM installed and a Nandroid backup be performed before you embark on any changes.

Thus far, my GS4 is working fine. Battery life seems to be okay. Data speed incl. LTE is good. There is more available RAM despite bloatware e.g. < 900MB after task killer.

Thanks DjeMBeY – wanted to buy you a couple of beers but can’t find neither the THANKS button nor the DONATE button in the new website layout. Will keep looking ;o)))

Cheers LJ

Hi all, just received my S4 yesterday and rooted it with CF-auto root. I am currently on 4.2.2 I9505XXUAMDM build (UK), which was installed out of the box. I would like to install a custom recovery and was thinking of CWM, would it then be ok to update to XXUBMGA via Odin? Going to use triangle away first to reset my flash counter as I think its at 1 as my device status is showing as 'custom'.

Hi, some more advice if anyone can please help?

My rom was showing as custom after installing the latest fw, i have taken the steps to install triangle away, i run it and oddly enough under current status it says:

counter 0

binary: official

device: gt-i9505

but when i go to status in about device it still says custom, even after resetting the counter anyway in triangle away.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] gob:
Go into triangle away and tick the option "system modified workaround" and you are good to go!

thanks mate, i'm having a rubbish time doin this, its the first time ive had this much trouble flashing a rom, i have done what you said, i found i had to buy the triangle away app to select that option.

it worked and my rom did say official, but straight away my root was gone, and as soon as i try to root again it changes straight back to custom again.

is there something else i have to do after i use triangle away to then have root back and it stay as official?

I have the Odin Modified Stock Packages version XXUBMGA. Anyone with the same problem?

BTW is there any way to debug why an app force close, so that I can give some more info about issues like this one.

Many thanks.

Yes, you can use this one, it have CSC_BTU and it's better than branded VOD as it gets updated earlier and more often.
