concise instructions for downloading custom ROM

Hello,

As per Bin.Hafim on the previous page, self confessed NOOB here ...

Can someone please post a concise set of instructions as to the best way of installing a custom ROM which will allow the installation of Google apps/a predominantly English userface.

I've been waiting for this phone for L-O-N-G time and just received it today from a friend who hand-carried it from Taiwan.

Pretty disappointed that its a Chinese app market only and that "Western apps" install but don't play (obviously should've done more research here).

Anyway, I need your pity and your help ... I'm not very dev-savvy but could follow a set of instructions.

Thanks in advance,

Apps to SD etc.

Hi all,

I managed to download a custom ROM from this link ...

(Link won't post because I am a newbie ... just go to Youtube and type in "i9502 flash" ... the poster is a guy called MarrkDaviid")

... the guy even posts the download files via a link at the top of the page (and caller ID seems to work). Three things that I have noticed though - and I hope that you can help in trying to fix them:

1) The device keeps upgrading Android (optimising apps) on start-up. Can this be stopped? I have heard there is some setting that can be modified so that the phone does not do this.

2) There doesn't appear to be a way to move apps﻿ to SD card with this ROM. This is a problem for me as the phone I bought was only 16gb and I have used 8gb already. Is there a way to install a patch so that I can enable this feature again?

3) If there is any form of notification which is not immediately read, viewed or cleared - even battery fully charged notification - the phone will freeze and can only be re-started on removing the battery. Major hassle. Any of you guys come across this?>

Thanks in advance.

Dear, I'm using 2.5 now. I used every possible caller is fix. From 10 to 7 and every time the same result

Instead of fixing it, all my contacts in calls and messages are unrecognized

Here is what I do. In aroma I choose 10 and in others.xml I change 11 to 10 and then clear data of contacts and reboot. All the names in my call log and messages become only numbers.

What can I do now??? :confused:

Hi,

Thanks for the tip. I downloaded ODIN for the previous flash, and I can see that from previous posters that there may be a limit to the number of flash's I can do. Is that correct? If not, then I will definitely download the SVA ROM.

Quick question: if I change ROMs will I need to re-load all my apps again (obviously I haven't been able to move the apps to external SD card)?

Cheers.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmyl19:
Hi, try to change the others.xml back to 11 and reboot, maybe the names for sms will be back [this is what i did before, at least sms names will show], if so then try touchpal for temporary remedy [they have one for dual sim, in dial logs to call just swipe right the name for sim1, swipe left for sim 2], until there is a fix for you.

Hi SVA, just installed 2.5 everything is good, it was cool of you to include the caller id fix for different digits matching, thank you very much!!:good::cool::D
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asilak:
Well, so far we know about the flashing counter but there is no exact info on flashing limits. Please share anyone who knows.

If you change the ROMs it depends on the ROM's core. If it is based on the same core you have in your stock ROM - mostly probably you won't have problems. But if the custom ROM (like SVA v 2.0 and above) is based on the new stock core with advanced features like moving apps to the SD etc, than you'll need to upgrade the stock ROM prior to flashing the custom.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g_gourlay:
Being a complete noob, could you please tell me how to do that (check the ROM core so that it matches up and overwriting with SVA should't be a problem)?

Of course,

this way works with other android dual phones like N7102 and I think it will work with you, but please don’t forget to take backup in case anything goes wrong,

1. root your phone.

2. run your main whatsapp account to varify it then close it.

3. open TitaniumBackup > "tap to switch profile" > "Create new data profile" > name it then select "create the profile" > select "Activate (your new prifile) > go to "Backup/Restore" menu > long press on "Whatsapp" then select "Enable multiple profiles for this app" > "Yes, do it".

4. go to "Overview" menu > "tap to switch profile" > "Create new data profile" > name it then "create the profile" > select "Activate (your second prifile).

5. close TitaniumBackup.

6. run Whatsapp > it will ask you to verify > verify it for your second number then close it.

7. now you have two Whatsapp accounts alredy run in your phone.

8. To switch between whatsapp accounts easily just create a widget for "Titanium Backup Data profile" and switch profiles from home screen.

that's it.

hope it helps

After several retries, I can confirm that the "Android is upgrading/optimizing app X of Y" only happens after installing GApss. And each download from Play Store increases the number of "optimizing app x of y".

I too received a Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9502 (China Unicom dual sim) sent to me by a friend in China. It runs on the I9502ZNUAMDI firmware which, I believe, is the latest. I followed the procedure described in this forum to root and install Gapps for Android 4.2.2.

I now have Google Play working just fine. I also get the "Android is upgrading/optimizing ..." message when the device is rebooted but I can live with this for now.

I've however noticed that when I go to Contacts -> Settings, there are three (and not five) settings available, i.e. "Only contacts with phone"; "Service numbers" and "Contact sharing settings". Missing are: "List by" and "Display contacts by".

As a result, contacts are only displayed by first name first. I cannot set contacts to display by last name first and this irritates me big time.

I usually sync with Outlook and I've tried renaming my contacts there but this is not picked by the phone. I've also tried third party apps like DW and Contacts+ but to no effect. Any one experiencing this problem?

Does anyone know whether a custom rom is being developed for this S4 variant? When Samsung released the official firmware for the GT-I9502, someone predicted that "it would be raining roms". All I see is a drought.

5) see if device still shows up on the web version of google play

France is coming (But can't so much help! Just need some!)

Hi all,

France is entering this forum! I guess I am and perhaps will be the only one, because as well the only one to possess that phone in my country! But I like it :p

First I would like to thank all of you for the good work here : we are few, we are rare, but we deserve decent ROMs and apps to have this wonderful phone functioning everywhere : I have looked several years to find a Premium Double Sim, and this Samsung looks like the answer! Special thanks to r_theboss, Goes_like_Hell, SVA but as well Zelendel for its understanding and keeping on trying to find a solution...

I was a total newbie a few days ago, now I have at least root my phone and installed a few things...

A few questions remains : I am running the last ZNUCMG2 ROM, installed successfully GApps and so Google Apps. Managed to get french into the phone thanks to Language Enabler, and desinstall chinese app thanks to RU Free. Can't test for the moment if I have ID issue as there is no SIM inside (I am in China with no French SIM for the moment). Well.

But :

* I still have chinese / english keyboard, and not an Azerty / French one. Didn't see anything about that in the forum. Can somebody help? For those who managed to have one : do you have T9 capability in your own language?

* Concerning the "other.xml" file, I have seen that lots of things are "disabled" (chinese style...). Is there anybody with a "last" version which works well in Europe? Do SVA ROM correct that?

* Concerning SVA ROM : is 2.5 really great and would bring more that what I have now (don't take it personnally SVA, I admire your work but it is just to fully understand the difference). If yes (I'm pretty sure it is the case!), I can only find a link to the 1.9 version, which is not adapted for the ROM I have. Did I miss a link?

Thanks!
