MODS

Extended Power Menu MOD

To apply the Extended Power Menu MOD, download the following zip to your sdcard as it needs to be flashed from CWM:

MOD_SGH-I757M_STOCK_JB_EXTENDED_POWER_MENU.zip (19.6MB)

1. First take a nandroid backup since we are modifying system files and can easily soft brick our phone by doing this.

2. Flash the MOD from CWM, and restart your phone.

Please be aware that the phone doesn't like to start up for the first time after you flash this mod, you will get stuck at the bootloader screen (not sure why). This is easily overcome by pressing and holding your power button for a hard reset (Hold it for about 10 to 15 seconds. You will feel it vibrate). It should then get past the boot screen. If that did not get you past the boot screen, restore your nandroid backup and try again. If the problem still persists. Post a message and I'll see if I can help you out ;)

S-Voice (like apple's SIRI)

Here is a CWM flashable zip that will install the Galaxy S4's S-Voice onto your SGH-I757M. S-Voice is Samsung's SIRI clone. It seems to work fairly well so far. Just a little slow at times. Just download this zip to your sdcard, make a nandroid backup, and flash this zip. This will install S-Voice on your device. (It may force close on you a couple of times when you first open it up. Just keep opening it up until the force closes stop).

SGH-I757M-SVoice-MOD (62.4MB)

Thanks to [MENTION=967188]cabetoguerra[/MENTION] for finding this leaked apk. Other files and libs were gathered by me and mostly found from a zip file created by xda member zoot1.

FAQ

Q. After I flash the Rom, I get FC's (force closes) like crazy, and I'm gonna pull my hair out!

A. If you did not expressly follow the instructions above, go back and read them. You must format the system, cache and data partitions manually in addition to the regular method.

If you did read and follow the instructions and are still getting FC's. Try the whole process over again and flash the Rom twice just to make sure it fully flashed and all the scripts ran successfully.

Thanks to [MENTION=4895619]4runner10[/MENTION] for actually having to try this ;)

Q. I'm on a Telus network and I get no data connection.

A. Check out this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1987678 for Telus APN settings as they differ from Bell APN settings.
