This guide is made for the noobs who are just getting into Android development or just wanna mess around with Android. I know for noobs, this may be a bit overwhelming, but trust me, it gets much much better!

So lets get started!!!

1) Download the ROM you want to port

2) Open it using 7zip

3) Replace the kernel/boot.img with ours

4) Go to /system/lib/modules. Delete everything and replace with ours

5) then go to /system/lib/hw. Delete and replace everything with ours

6) For the Hard keys and soft keys to work go to /system/usr/keychars and delete and replace then go to /system/usr/keylayout and delete and replace with ours

7) Now go to /system/etc and delete the following and replace with ours:

- vold.fstab

- /wifi

- /ppp

This has been tested on the International Version of the Galaxy S II

UPDATE

(7/31): Ideas have been scrapped, funding a complete project instead

UPDATE

(6/15): Possible alternative solution in the works

UPDATE

(6/13): Quick Details

UPDATE

(6/6): Photos on this post​

Hey guys,

So if anyone you follow me closely, you guys will know that I'm a big fan of wireless charging accessories (especially when it comes to making things universal). Being the big supporter that I am, I have wireless charging pads in multiple locations employed as I am trying to go completely cable-less. However, there has always been one thing missing that would be able to truly make this wireless charging experience complete; and that is a Wireless Charging Car Dock.

Well luckily ladies and gentleman, after hours of searching, I have found us a great solution to that problem! :)

This is a combination of a product that is brought to you by one of our own members here at XDA: Original Thread Here

This is called the Owl Carpad Qi Wireless Charging Car Mount - Sale Link for Galaxy S III

In addition with another product:

This is called the Samsung S4 Wireless Receiver (confirmed with NFC working) - Sale Link (Video Review)

Or another listing of Samsung S4 Wireless Receiver (thinnest with NFC working) - Sale Link (Video Review)

Or official Samsung Galaxy S4 Wireless Charging Back Cover - Black or White

The great thing about this wireless charging receiver/insert is that you can use ANY battery cover with it (stock, flip cover, S-View cover, etc...) and the Galaxy S III OWL Carpad should be compatible with the Galaxy S4.

If anyone wants this solution, I have currently purchased the Galaxy S III OWL Carpad and preordered the Galaxy S4 wireless charging kit and will be testing as soon as I receive it and will be sure to let you guys know but I am quite confident that these will be compatible.

Please feel free to voice your comments/question below. :)
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] KryptosXLayer2:
Looking forward to the review! Make sure you include a long drive in it running GPS and see if it charges up the phone or loses battery - I really want to love wireless charging, but it seems like it's just limited to home use right now because it will only do 1A and this phone really does need 2A to get it charged!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] open1your1eyes0:
Definitely, I will likely be using this as a daily driver so will let you guys know. :good:
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] TeknoGodz:
Cant wait! If it actually charges while screen is on and GPS and Mobile Data is being used I will definitely do this in my car!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] open1your1eyes0:
Found a new link for a Samsung Galaxy S4 Receiver that is currently available! - Link (Added to OP)
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] demusss:
The pad insert on ebay says its 500mA. Is that normal for qi pads?

Do u think that higher ones would be available later?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] open1your1eyes0:
500mA is a little bit on the low side but I think they put that there as a general estimate. I see another sale put one of the same but rated in description 500mA to 700mA. See Here

There's also this one but can't tell what they rate it for.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] PJ_ED:
How thick of case?

How thick of a case could you get away with? I am shopping for a good rugged case, I am really hard on phones.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] jdtommy:
did it work

was wondering if you had a chance to try this out an if the charge is enough to keep your phone going?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] open1your1eyes0:
Just received my phone today, still waiting on the receiver and car dock.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] dtninc:
I'm looking forward to your review I have been interested in the wireless charging from wiqiqi and how it works.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] delaneybob:
Appreciate you posting this- this is my BIG quandry- replacing my car and Desktop dock. I plan to use a Otterbox commuter case. Some you tube's are out there on HTC DNA showing wireless works even with a Defender.

Wondering if you plan to use a case and if there is a recommendation for a desk dock - or should I just use the car dock on my desk?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] windstrings:
This is what I'm wondering too.

I've read about chargers that could work up to one and a half inches while others say "any" added case will prevent charging.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] delaneybob:
There is a 26 minute video of the guy trying this charger out. It appears that with GPS and Screen on you will hold charge and maybe charge at 100mA. The connector is also coax, not USB so i will need to redo my wiring job i did so I do not have to use a cigarette lighter. Also much was made about it getting hot with GPS on and to stick it by the AC vent.

My Droid X (replacing) got smoking hot anytime GPS was on anyway and with a wired charger- maybe charged at 1% per 20 minutes.

It comes form Korea by a couple fo guys it appears. So it looks like you need to order the dock and the S4Qi kit for the phone. I am still looking for what the best desk dock is because I need to use it for work phone (speaker mode required)
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] open1your1eyes0:
Received my Qi receiver, NFC antenna extender, and wireless charging pad yesterday.

The actual

wireless charging car dock

should be coming in tonight! Will get more pics for you guys.

Also added more receivers to OP.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] delaneybob:
the design of the receiver on the phone looks better than previous- wider at base and looks like adhesive for it as well?

What is the rating of the charger?- 1500mA?- will be interesting to see if GPS+Screen still allows a slight charge.

also any ideas for a deck dock would be appreciated- iI have a otterbox commuter case
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] open1your1eyes0:
Have some photos for you guys on next post

EDIT: Didn't get a chance to test it today because the receiver I have doesn't align properly with the dock so it doesn't charge. Confirmed with the seller which receiver works and purchased that one. Should be coming next week.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] demusss:
You need to use a specific receiver?

Which one is recommended?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] delaneybob:
Looks like it's 1A output which is below the 1.5 amp on other wireless chargers. I ma not expert by any stretch but from what i researched that means ~700mA to the phone. Another version put 1A actually to the phone and with GPS on and screen it made 1%/10min charge,

Here is the 1A reciever which usually goes with a 1.5A charger http://www.ecrater.com/p/18004506/qi-standard-wireless-charger-charging?gps=1&id=52211034499

Seems like this will hold but not actually charge with GPS and screen- will be interesting to see.

I have found a desk charger I may get - but it's 1A which may be ok since i won't have GPS on at the house :)

http://www.tylt.com/vu/
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] open1your1eyes0:
Not specific but the one I purchased was different from the rest because it is half thickness than the rest but it aligns horizontally rather than vertically. Not a problem to desktop wireless chargers but this car dock required a very exact alignment vertically.

This is the one I received from WiQiQi

You can see the coil is aligned horizontally and not perfectly centered either

This is the recommended one

Because this one is centered and aligns vertically with more coverage
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] delaneybob:
If you notice- the correct one is rated at 1A- I think that will require a 1.5A pad- otherwise you will get .7A to the battery- am I correct?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] waylo:
So between these two that you list in your posts, is there one that is more recommended? NFC should work in both?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Arrival...S_Cell_Phone_PDA_Chargers&hash=item58a06764f0

http://www.ebay.com/itm/26121636496...eName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] open1your1eyes0:
First one is recommend with confirmed working NFC. I'll remove the non-working ones now.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] demusss:
I opened up a charger I bought off ebay to silence it.

All thats in the unit is a coil and a small pcb. I was thinking of getting a second and to open up and attach the coil to tge front of a car mount I have and the pcb on the back.

The charger is usb powered.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] open1your1eyes0:
I discovered one very interesting idea today. If I'm not happy with the charging current of this car dock (based on reviews it seems to be quite a bit lower than desktop wireless chargers), I can just replace the circuitry inside the car dock casing with that of one of my desktop wireless charging pads. I already tested it fits and works and even with the current receiver I have now. I just want to wait till the proper receiver comes so I can test the car dock natively before doing any modification. But the idea is there. :good:

EDIT: I also purchased another receiver today because it's supposed to be the thinnest one yet!

[YOUTUBE]wlXeTs8dgiE[/YOUTUBE]
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] delaneybob:
Great find!- can you post a link where it can be ordered and is you know what it's rated at (receiver)

---------- Post added at 11:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 PM ----------

Looks like 700ma reciever

here it is for $17 with a 15-30 day wait

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] open1your1eyes0:
Here you go: Sale Link

Looks to be 600ma (pretty much the standard)

Added to OP as well! :good:
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] delaneybob:
Make that $40 for charge and reciever- just need to verify the amps

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] feihu989:
Very funny product, we have a same kind of product but the appearance is much different.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] sweets55:
So that is probably the best combo deal?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] delaneybob:
Perhaps- but they do not state the rating of the charger.

here is where I think we are at

1.5A pad + 1.0 Amp receiver (this si the white one oneeye shows)=best however it apparently causes the case to bulge just a hair

????pad + 600-700mA really think charger ( the black one one eye nowprefers)= good for desktop but not sure on car with GPS+Screen- I would bet it just holds or slightly loses charge

It seems that there are new products every week.

If i had the time i would bdo the following for desktop

- Buy a touchstone and repalce the coil with a 1.5A qi- the touchtone allows you to see the phone and also allows the S4 speaker to be used- however I am not sure about magnets and the SD card

- For the car- i am awaiting oneeye's test- I think there will need to be the 1.5 coil + 1A receiver for the GPS and screen
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] DocSnyd3r:
I tried the owl charger with the original back cover and it did not charge.

The 1A the charger cigarette plug has are for 10V this is equivalent to 2A on a 5V USB cigarette plug.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] open1your1eyes0:
I have been playing around with various receivers for a few days including the official back cover as well and I have determined the following so far:

The official back cover provides the best and most reliable connection

The included car charger definitely has some issues keeping charge (my battery actually goes down)

The wall charger provides anywhere from 50-350ma charge to the wireless charging unit

The original thin black receiver I receive does not work due to alignment issue with the wireless charging unit

The newer slightly thicker white receiver works much much better and with NFC as well (but still not as good as the official back cover)

The wireless charging unit is definitely much weaker in general than all other desktop wireless chargers

I'm going to try over the next few days with the wall charger into an AC converter in my car and see what happens but I feel like this is still much weaker charge than they could have made it. I have a few ideas to mod a desktop wireless charger into the casing of the wireless charging car dock unit so I may play around with that as well. Anyways, just wanted to drop by and give a quick update. Once I have a permanent solution I will be sure to give you guys lots of pics and details. Right now I just testing things out.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] ilyaok00:
I've bought these on Amazon dot com and they work very well with the Samsung S4 - charge 5% every 10 minutes:

Nokia charger (different colors, I chose red)

I can't post links yet, but it's $45 at

amazon dot com/gp/product/B00A3NCBOM/

And little insert for $25:

amazon dot com/gp/product/B00D0LTVLU

Both are prime-eligible, so you can get delivered pretty fast (paid $71 for both).

Also, here's a Youtube link to a guy who did an in-car charger mod with neodymium magnets and the Nokia wireless charger listed above:

youtube dot com/watch?v=sn5nHUVyArA
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] sherdog16:
There are refurbs on ebay for 25.00 shipped.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] delaneybob:
If the magnets do not affect the flash - which it does not according to google - that is the way to go.

The second link on amazon is a 1.5A source charger with .5-1A output.

It appears that there is nothing really "great" out there.

Some questions

1. does the samsung wireless back cover make the dimensions change?=- worried about effect on an otterbox

2. oneeye- you are saying that the original white -correct Qi receiver was the best?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] erure:
I don't know about #2 but I can help with #1.

The Samsung wireless charging back cover adds to the dimensions, so cases won't fit. I'd recommend the receiver.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] open1your1eyes0:
So I came up with an alternative solution that is very simple and I think will work much better for everyone, currently testing but here's a preview for you guys:

At around 0:30 mark I show you the leg of the car dock, you have to remove this leg off the car dock and poor glue on that surface, then place the leg back on but slightly extended to add the thickness of the Qi charger.

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Cast|el:
Whats it look like with a phone in it?

How about a phone with a case?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] open1your1eyes0:
I actually shot this with the phone itself. I'll try to get one with the phone in the car at a later time but might be a little worse quality just FYI.

If you use a very slim case it can hold but no Otterbox or Seidio or thick cases like that. I'm personally using it caseless with the official thicker Samsung wireless charging back cover. With that one on, the top holds it right at the edge, so anything thicker and it wouldn't hold.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] blwnv8:
Your links for the dock and the charging pad are broken
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] open1your1eyes0:
Sorry about that. Small copy/paste fail. Fixed now.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] KryptosXLayer2:
VERY Interesting! Just checking back after a few weeks of letting you do your think and get in some products, and I like what you have going on here, but I hate two flaws with this whole deal - charging capacity and audio output. When I'm already only getting 700mA of input to the phone from a 2A cigarette lighter because of the iBolt cable's resistance necessary for it to turn the phone into dock mode, 640mA of juice may not cut it. It may keep the phone at a certain level, which is what happened last night on my 35 min drive home, I left for my destination with 32% battery and arrived with 32%, using Navigation and Google Music on LTE the whole time, but it certainly won't charge up the phone like a 1900mA home charger would....

And then there's the whole point about buying the iBolt to begin with - the audio output splitter. Wireless charging means you're most likely using A2DP Bluetooth output, and using up even more battery, albeit a very small increase, but still more. I'm a little disappointed in the iBolt cable because of how little juice it provides, but I certainly don't want to go the other direction when looking for other solutions! This setup may work best for those who just need a place to rest their phone and charge it while driving, using a factory navigation unit and another input source of audio, such as CD, radio, satellite, iPod (God forbid!), etc, but it won't work for those who use their phone for everything all together like I do....

Keep up the good work! Definitely see you using your brain over there and that's what we need more of!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] delaneybob:
I think i am going in a different direction- I am going to try the magnets- only drawback appears to be the potential for credit card erasing form the magnetics but I did a little research and it appears that it's more of a duration of exposure.

I tested the thickness and I can still close the case (1/32"= 6 thicknesses of a sheet of paper)

http://www.kjmagnetics.com/proddetail.asp?prod=BX0801

Put 4-6 in the case and 4-6 on a regular charging pad (1.5A)- do the rewire and see what I get
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] delaneybob:
I will also try using steel tape inside the case to alleviate any concerns with the phone case erasing credit cards

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Steel-Tape-...514?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item35c85565d2
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] windstrings:
I would think steel tape would kill nfc, possibly wireless Charging too!

Alan.. Sent with Galaxy S4
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] delaneybob:
2 thoughts- small strips and/or put the tape on the outside of the rubber case of the otterbox- i paid $30 for 100 feet of the stuff so if it works, willing to ship some to folks for the cost of a normal postal envelope. magnets are on their way

I do not use NFC- I just want a simple way to slap the phone on to charge at home and car.

I settled on the charger to use - the powerQi- some so-so reviews but it appears to be the strongest- 8mm distance vs 5mm typical
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Fornowagain:
Noticed one on eBay (China) that looks quite nice, but at over $100/£63 is more than I'm willing to pay tbh. If anyone sees the same one elsewhere please post a link?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] dadsterflip:
I am thinking about doing this. Is there any downfall? Like say shortage or failure on the pad that would cause the phone to get screwed?or burn the connections

Sorry just I don't have much mula to buy or pay deductible lol.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Fornowagain:
Found another, no specifications but can be found for $38/£24 delivered.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] delaneybob:
Update- I got the steel tape in. I placed 2 strips between the plastic and hard case on the otter. I have strong Neo magnets from another project. I was dissappointed- so I switched to a thin Neo instead of the steel tape and *wham*- stick like crazy right thru the case to the other magnet. So Iwent back and tested 3 layers of steel tape (one on top of the other) between the rubber and plastic of the otter- and looks to be ok for holding power. I will now wait for the chargers to arrive and do a mock up- if it works I will post the Bill of materials
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] cbb77:
Not sure if this has been mentioned but looks like Nokia is due out with a wireless charging dock. Can be seen here:

They mention release in May, which is overdue. Could mean anytime now.

Question on magnets

Hello,

i thougt of fix the S4 with magnets to a wireless charger - maybe a touchstone. There are covers with compatible circuits available at ebay.

Does the magnets bother the compass when connected or even later on (due to magnetization)?

Any ideas? An old desire shows no reactions at the compass after some test with neodyms...

Kind regards,

:confused: Normen
