[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hoggles:
I wanted to start a discussion about one thing that I see as a drawback to Samsung development. I'd love to hear peoples thoughts about it and what their experience was on previous Galaxy devices.

I just got this incredible beast of a phone last Tuesday...and....I LOVE it.

This is my first Sammy device, coming from all HTC phones for the last several years. One major thing that has concerned me is the lack of cohesive development, simply due to the fact that Samsung releases so many variants of the GS4 (or do they?).

The one main thing HTC has going for them in regards to phones & development, is that there is usually only one main forum for all your needs. For instance, my old Sensation...all you have to do is SuperCID & have S-OFF and you can flash any ROM you want, regardless of carrier etc. Even though there were several varieties of the Sensation (XE etc), if you had SuperCID...your ROM options were endless. Look no further than the development forum for the One...quite frankly, it is incredible the amount of custom stuff that is available in that forum. Even before the phone was widely released, there were about 2 dozen of XDA's great devs, modders, themers, already pumping out ROM's & Kernels & Mods etc etc. All this with very little confusion or fuss on how to root and or what you can or can't flash etc.

I wish it were as simply as that for us. I can only imagine how amazing development would be for the S4, if it wasn't split up into 4-5 different forums

.

Lastly...I would love to know if it will ever be possible to flash anything that's for the I9505 (for instance the ROM from Indie). If the GS4 can have SuperCID, or something similar...why would this not be possible?? Of course we've all heard that we should NEVER flash anything that's not specific to our Tmo GS4...and leaves me wondering just how involved development will be for the Tmo GS4. My question would be why is that not possible if the hardware is the same....regardless of carrier? What are the restrictions to flashing anything I9505 related...and will it ever be possible? Is there an actually hardware difference in the German Tmo I9505 and the US Tmo I9505??

I simply look at it from a perspective of less devs in one spot, means less development for each variant...and that kinda bums me out a bit.

Love to hear what you guys think about this...

Cheers! :good:

Blame the US carriers for split forums.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] KillaHurtz:
The T-Mobile version is not the i9505, it is he M919. The i9505 is subtly different and is the only model of the GS4 to contain an FM radio.

The fragmentation is due in part to what the previous poster noted; us carriers; and LTE. The Sensation was not ever released on CDMA networks, it was GSM only and all models had the same hardware, including the actual radios. This is why the development was in one section, because all the devices were the same hardware, with only slight software differences depending on region/carrier.

The i9500 is the technological dream of the masterminds at Samsung flexing their muscles as a super power. The vast majority of the components are made directly by them including the revolutionary CPU and screen. I cannot think of any other company that does this. The entry model on these units is rarely catered to the us market (think original GS2, GS3, original Note) and usually sees a second generation to add support for CDMA and or LTE (Think carrier branded GS2, GS3, Note).

The I9505 & Carrier branded versions utilize a different SoC to accommodate for global demand. Most qualcomm chips these days are being mass produced and have LTE/CDMA worked out in their design initially. I makes it easy for sammy to push out more units in a quicker amount of time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Deleted member 2653512:
You're spot on. I had the HTC Sensation as well. I currently have the HTC One. I can def say that HTC retains the crown when it comes to consumer development. They even launched a website to unlock your device in response to so many requests for it. :D

What has Samsung done? Well, most recently they pushed an update that locked out root at the kernel level. Boo! :confused:

From what I've seen thus far (and yes I know it's still early) there has been a very weak response in the dev department for the T-Mobile variant of this device. It has been out for a couple of weeks now and we still don't have a PIT file posted anywhere. So if anyone hit a worst case scenario, they would be unable to fully wipe their phone and use an ODIN tar to return to stock. On that note, we don't even have a virgin untouched tar of the stock firmware (MDL that has tweaked kernel) for ODIN. A couple of the deodexed and zip-aligned flashable packages that were posted have slight changes made to them - we NEED untouched flashable zips. Don't post something as "stock" if you have modified the firmware.

All in all, we have had a very rocky start on this T-Mobile variant. I'm contemplating buying the device for a couple of the old Team Whiskey guys and starting our own team for this. There is a lot of work to be done, yet. And this device has a lot of potential.

Some of you may be offended by this and some of you may be rolling your eyes. That's fine. But these are my two cents. :p

On a brighter note... I'm hoping for a massive response once source drops.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] KillaHurtz:
Wrong. There is already stock ODIN files on here and sammible. You do not need a .pit to flash an MD5 and the T-Mo Note 2 didn't have one either in the dev sections. Yes Samsung has included a new revision in their kernel to lock out root access, big deal. We are a group of developers here dedicated to outsmarting the man and doing things our own way. The i9500 already has the newest kernel built from source with the 1 flag (yes, it's one flag) circumvented. HTC doen't even have an official RUU available yet, and their HTC dev site records your IMEI to refuse you warranty service lol. I would suggest you read up some more before offering up your two cents, because based on what you stated they are without warrant, and worthless.

Here's a link to the stock ODIN file since you missed it, http://www.hotfile.com/dl/213469534/9ff06bd/M919UVUAMDL_M919TMBAMDL_TMB.zip.html
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Deleted member 2653512:
No... I don't think you understand.

Of course you don't "need" a PIT file. But do you understand what that is used for? I encourage you to try this.

1. Run the latest update. The virgin, str8 from kies, MDL update. You'll have the root-block kernel and everything.

2. Now try to ODIN back to the previous firmware using THIS MDB tar file.

I think you will find you are unable to successfully return to the fully stock MDB firmware. That tar file alone will not wipe anything. It will seem to flash via ODIN. But once you reboot... you'll still have your MDL firmware installed (sorta). You might suggest installing CWM or TWRP Recovery here. Well... you can try. I did. You will run into some interesting issues. LIke not being able to get into ANY recovery until you perform a full reset from within the system settings menu. Then suddenly finding your way into the stock android recovery. At which point you'll do a factory reset/wipe from the stock android recovery. Then you WILL be able to install CWM Recovery and flash... oh wait. There is no completely stock flashable firmware package. Those we do have are found HERE and have had things removed.

I'll give you another example. Let's say you soft brick your phone. You need to do a restore via ODIN. But you also need to wipe it completely. What are you going to do? You can't get to recovery. Can't load the system. You need to do a full wipe and factory restore. How are you doing to do that without the Partition Information Table and ODIN?

As for warranty... technically we're all void of warranty so why does it matter? We all void the warranty as soon as we start flashing. That is why all the devs put that disclaimer in their OPs.

Furthermore, while its kinda cool that you went straight into defensive mode, I wasn't bashing anyone. I'm just saying we need to pick it up and get the right files out there for the ppl who don't know how to fix things on their own and so forth. If I need to I'll take one of my computers off of Folding and turn it into a dev box so I can help out.

Love, Peace, and Chicken Grease :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] KillaHurtz:
All you need is the ODIN file I provided (MDL). After that you can enter the stock recovery and wipe the data as needed.

If you are completely bricked (cannot enter download mode) Samsung will warranty the phone for a new one.

It's not defensive that I am being. I could careless if you brick your phone lol, I am only providing facts that you seemed to miss.

The .pit file is usually used if you have borked the phone from all recognition and need to tell the device what to flash where as it sets the maps for the partitions.

Your original post said nothing of having to wipe or anything else you just disclosed which is still incorrect to an extent.

We all know that stock ODIN files do not wipe data, but with the files I posted you will not need to go back to a lower firmware in the 1st place and will not be locked out of the system or recovery....

If you are concerned with a stock .pit file, make one from Heimdall. Or, are you one of the ones "who don't know how to fix things on their own" ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Deleted member 2653512:
Nah. Benji was cleaning up the code last night. But he did tell me that Heimdall 1.4 will be officially released in a few hours. And that he confirmed it working on his Sprint S4. Previous versions wont detect our snapdragon device.

As for your MDL ODIN file, you're still missing the point. But im going to drop it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] JaYtanG:
I upgraded from SGS2, aka TMO Hercules. The biggest difference for me is screen resolution. Also battery life and camera have huge improvement.

But for the new features, like eye detect or gestures, I haven't found it practically useful... I have been using it for a week though...

So how do you folks like the s4 so far?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bikrame:
I came from s3. And its awesome.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jbdan:
Also came from the S3. I like the S4 a lot more. The screen is perfection
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] chiensibut:
at first i saw videos from reviewers i didnt like the look and material they used, but i went to the store on 8th and played with it, it actually like and feel really nice in hand and decided to return my htc one to get the black s4, pretty happy with my decision
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bofiana:
Also coming from the S3 and I had my doubts at first but glad I made the switch. The screen is pretty darn sweet. I'm just missing my choice of ROMs to flash and not having Anthrax kernel anymore like I did on my S3.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] coyttl:
Came from the S1 - everything's new. :cool:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Prozart:
I came from the HTC Sensation. I'm definitely going to stick with Samsung from here on out. I love the S4. There's a few hiccups here and there, but I'm sure as updates, and new ROMs, come out they'll iron that out. Love the camera and absolutely love the screen. And I definitely prefer the bigger physical size.

Came from an iPhone 5. I don't have to squint to read text anymore that alone made it worth it to me
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] adventure_of_link:
Came from the Evo 3D. In regards to e-mail, I like how it fits all on the screen rather than move it left, right, up, down, etc. I must say this is a BIG improvement, but just like the E3D, no PS3/Wii controller syncs EVER. Hopefully like last time, cyanogen mod can fix it. and unlike last time, here's to less drama and such in the CM realm. T-mobile rocks the house and I'd recommend it, so long as you either order from a T-mo store or online.

I'm a tech geek, came from bunch of phones from my recent upgrade. Note 2 to Z10 to the ascend mate, to this Sexy beast. Next phone to try out is the one. For now, I really like every thing about this phone. The features, the feeling in hand, it just feels great. Fast and smooth system.

I came from the S2 as well and I got this phone last night, and I'm pretty happy with it. I don't have plans to root it anyone soon.

I had about every at&t amd tmobile phone out there. Last phone was htc one . But sold it due to battery life. Got the s4 n fell in love with it . Get about 4 1/2 hrs screen time , and all camera features are nice to have.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ivesdotkom:
I made a huge upgrade from the S2 Hercules. I really love this phone. I havent had any issues at all with. I like to keep all those air and smart features off as I dont really use them.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dragon-son:
Coming from the tmobile G2/DZ/Vision, and all I can say is phone is pretty awesome. I didn't have to root it and uninstall all the crappy apps just to make the phone work like I did with the G2. I did anyways, just because I like what I like. Overall the performance of the phone has been good so far.

I do miss my hardware keyboard though. I have a physical bluetooth keyboard that pairs with the S4 with no issues, but it's just not the same.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Toastalator:
Having upgraded from an S2 I'm very torn on my opinion of the S4. Hardware wish I absolutely love this phone. The lager screen, bigger battery, physical home button. But from a software side this thing is a train wreck. The menu layouts are awful, the browser doesn't let you alter any useful settings beyond homepage, the lock screen widgets don't respond to the settings, and that settings menu is totally wacko on its layout, I can't find anything. I like the new gallery layout but it buys the images in an order can't figure out.

To be honest from an OS perspective I hate this phone. My s2 did a much better job.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dan37tz:
I felt as if the S4 was more of a side step from the Note 2, Nexus 4. It actually feels laggy compared to them, which was a big surprise. Of course in games it flew but the overall UI feels slow and there is inconsistent stuttering everywhere. Sometimes it will be smooth, sometimes it would lag. Drove me crazy these past days using it.

I thought the 1080P screen was going to blow me away, honestly it doesn't look that much better than the Note 2's display.

I've been also using an HTC One now for the past couple days and I think it's a much better device, it is consistently smooth in every operation, the 1080p LCD screen is MUCH better on the eyes, it feels crisper, brighter and overall much more pleasant to look at.

I will be returning the S4 and keeping the HTC One, probably wait till the Note 3 comes out and see how that goes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] flipq88:
I came from the S3. Totally happy. Some were saying it wasn't a worthy upgrade but I say otherwise. Better battery, better screen, and just sexy as hell

Sound quality is screwed up, severe noise and crackling, I get it on my UE900's. Going to see if the One has the same issue, since it's on the same DAC.

So frustrating.

I have tested flash, wipes and it works (I tried flashing AromaFM and it worked, not an entire ROM) but if I select mount storage it doesn't work!

Also, I'm in ICS (1.14) ROM not JB

so except ums no other bugs ? graphics okay ...

also adb and adb sideloading.

Can some one give me a log for the ums behaviour.

Thanks.

Advanced-Copy Log to SD.

xpirt
[HTC Desire X] Dark Passenger:
alternative to what [MENTION=5132229]xpirt[/MENTION] told

adb pull /cache/recovery/last_log

EDIT do this after you try UMS(if on windows wait for sometime for the drivers to install like atleast 10 min) and boot into the rom.
[HTC Desire X] gbueno6:
I can't "copy log to sd" it just says "show log".

Ok, I have copied the last_log file (i tried usb mass storage and waited for some minutes before copying the file). I'm unrooted so I picked up the file with AromaFM.

I hope it helps!

PD: There's also something weird that happened to me with the other CWM recovery: when I switched off the phone to charge it, the orange light blinks for 15 seconds and the phone starts again! It doesn't happen with TWRP recovery (the "starting process", not the blinking). EDIT: The restart issue does NOT happen with this recovery. Yeyyyy!!
[HTC Desire X] neXus PRIME:
@OP, why panicking? ums will work just fine

you need to add proper lines in BoardCOnfig.mk and ramdisk. You should have waited for me to fix it as i gave you my tree. Anyways Try uncommenting the line for UMS_LUNFILE which is commented, and delete the next two lines after it. Compile it with that and tell me.
[HTC Desire X] Dark Passenger:
I'm a generally panicky sort of person...

Yes its your tree and actually the fix became apparent with the log.

Thank you for everything you have done for this devices recovery and I have no plans of changing that.The recovery is now fully functional and bugfree as soon as Gweedo767 is free he will be doing an official build(dont hold your breadth may take a while).

Post that official builds shall be available on clockworkmod.com and this thread will cease to exist(at least it will be locked).

And [MENTION=4350492]neXus PRIME[/MENTION] will you be updating your thread with this info since you will be the main maintainer.

Thank you ,

Dark Passenger.
[HTC Desire X] neXus PRIME:
Thanks for all your work making CWM official.:good::good:

btw, i said the "panic" thing in a light-hearted way.

The recovery tree is originally LLOIR's, later on modified by cobje(therbom), Clauddy, and then final fixed tree by neXusPRIME (me). Please give credits to all of them.

Secondly, i like TWRP far more than CWM, so i invite you to be the official CWM maintainer if you are willing. We can work on recoveries together.

I currently have JB and ICS TWRP 2.5.0.0 ready to be released but only do it when i receive JB OTA.

Lastly, NOTE that the tree you are using for OFFICIAL CWM is only ICS COMPATIBLE. You will need to modify the recovery.fstab for JB compatible recovery by changing the mount points for SYSTEM,DATA,CACHE as they are in JB ROM proc/emmc. Then you will rebuild and CWM will be able to flash ROMs for people with hboot 1.25.0.0

[HTC Desire X] Dark Passenger:
1. Its my pleasure.:)

btw so was mine:p

2.all credits will be present once official builds are online and I open a thread for it.(maybe you could make your thread jb version so there are both versions present for those who want it).

3.wat a coincidence I like cwm better than TWRP. no offence seem to work.Also the recovery tree as always is open for anyone with a github account to modify.

4.Same here the tree submited is for ics and will be updated only when i get the jb update(knew about the mount points from the various thread actually from your post I think).

PS do you know whats needed and/or where I can get the sources for touch recovery.

PPS in your recovery.fstab(cwm version) the internal sdcard(emmc) is mounted as vfat where as in cm its emmc.
[HTC Desire X] Dark Passenger:
so there are no problems other than UMS.

can you please confirm.

thanks.
[HTC Desire X] gbueno6:
Yes, other than UMS, no more issues!

PD: I won't be able to test it again because I upgraded to JB!! ^^

Thank you very much for your work!
[HTC Desire X] Dark Passenger:
cool :jealous: i might have to wait a tad bit longer for that :p

also if possible can you hold out on the update for a few more days might be the first to try out official builds.
[HTC Desire X] gbueno6:
I'm afraid I can't! I was very excited watching that my operator updated to JB (they never updated our ROM before) that I made it and now I'm in JB.

I'm sorry! :(

Also, if you want me to test it in JB, let me know it and I'll be very happy to help!

Have a great day
[HTC Desire X] Dark Passenger:
aye aye aye I just got an official build hot off jenkins.

Any one willing to test and let me know if ums is good and alls well.

latest built
[HTC Desire X] Dark Passenger:
[MENTION=4347947]gbueno6[/MENTION] cab you test ums (yes in JB) it should work fine don't try anything else wont work.
[HTC Desire X] gbueno6:
Sure! I'll keep you posted!

EDIT: UMS not working. In fact, every time I go to the "main menu" it shows "

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log, E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log

" and the same with las_log. I've tried wipes and, surprisingly, they worked. I'll attach you the log so you can watch it.

Have a great day
[HTC Desire X] Dark Passenger:
Yeah it working dont use an ICS recovery again on jb its practically impossible to mount anything.

though wiping which is irrespective of mount points will work fine.

Good luck.

PS touch recovery coming soon.
[HTC Desire X] neXus PRIME:
I have already ported two touch recoveries. What are you bringing? CWM 6.0??? i think its CLOSED source and can ONLY be build via clockworkmod builder which asks for a custom graphics.c and recovery.fstab.

It WONT be bug free, it will randomly restart and it wont mount internal memory if im right.

i already posted a build made through builder.clockworkmod.com and it wasnt very good so i deleted its thread.

But if you are bringing a fully working cwm 6.0 then its great news ... :):):)
