I know but I think the google S4 will be updated before stable CM roms
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] downwiththebanksters:
My fear is it will not be exactly the same hardware so we won't just be able to flash pure goog on a 9505g. I fear they will hobble the G with no SD or something else. Please guys don't do this!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TomTheFrench:
Google said it. It will be the same hardware for the 2 and the i9505G will have a micro SD slot.

You can flash the platform file from the leaked 4.3 firmware via odin and you will have a fully working Google system including the ability to update.

Actually you can flash a google edition rom on the samsung edition S4. Google Play Edition only supports GSM so, if your S4 is CDMA you need to flash a ported version, not the official version for the S4 Google Play Edition.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slg60:
So, can perhaps somebody summarize what is possible and what not?

I think the Otas for GPEs are out, so are we able to flash stock 4.3 Goolge edition to our i9505? I mean the stock one, so not the modifyed versions from jamal etc.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dryspuri:
this is funny, this has been achieved in HTC One and people including me have got 4.3 OTA and running it successfully. its interesting that same has not been achieved in bigger s4 community!

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkm20:
9505 to 9505g

It has been days I'm trying to find a solution for that, but can't find anything!!

The idea is to have a full conversion of the image, fully OTA from Google, working 100% as the GE version, but all I have found are custom roms.

Anybody had success flashing the platform from Google ??

Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arnie580:
Bump. Do we know if this is going to be possible at any point or are the custom roms are going the be the closest we can come to the GE S4? Thanks.

[General Questions and Answers] tsairox:
Hi everyone,I hope this is the correct forum. How do I stop getting the OTA update notices from At&t on my SGN2? I rooted it in March and I know that accepting At&t's updates will have negative affects. The notice pops up everyday all day and it's annoying. Does anyone know if there is a 4.2.2 update available on this site for my rooted SGN2 and if this will stop the notice from At&t? If so, will you post a link? I already have TWR installed.

Thank you,

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] brosenz:
I've tried with my AT&T S4 the Task650 AOKP and Slim Bean 5.6 and both are leggy or slower than the stock TW ROM, just to confirm I tested both of them with Quadrant and I got an overall score of 6,500, and with stock TW I get more than 12,000, is there any reason for that?, thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] kytrauma:
Sure the main reason is quadrant is junk. Basically it tests only a few areas of speed that the stock ROMs are optimized for. Its been proven multiple times in the last few years that quadrant is very unreliable as a benchmark. And if u are having lag on Tasks AOKP then u did something wrong during install. Smoothest butter I've ever had.

TaskaToon'd Gs4
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] SeanHacker:
Its not slower. Its that you're using a random number generator to base your idea of speed for this device. Quadrant and other benchmarks are not a reliable way of telling you how fast your device is. Real world usage is.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] fix-this!:
once that s4 google edition comes out and we can utilize that aosp will be a beast.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Thermalwolf:
1. Quadrant is a useless random number generating benchmark, it means NOTHING.

2. You're not flashing properly. I have used both Slim Bean and Task650. Can verify both run 500% better straight from first boot.

Make sure you properly installed your recovery. In fact, which recovery are you even using cause Task650's latest AOKP build requires OUDHS Recovery. I'm willing you bet you're using TWRP.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] brosenz:
Yes, I am using TWRP recovery, why recovery could make such a big difference?, I tried the previous Task650 version, I have not tried the latest one, thanks a lot
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Thermalwolf:
Would also like to add it seems more people are having issues with TWRP. I recommend you flash OUDHS recovery, full wipe and flash the latest version of Task650 AOKP.

Sorry to be an ass but I, among others, don't like it when people try to use quadrant as a benchmark. You gotta get a feel for android, it's the only true way to judge performance. Android is an extremely effective OS, making use of all its resources whether you see they are or not.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] brosenz:
Thanks, I will try now. On another note, is there a way to use the Samsung Keyboard with this AOKP ROM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Thermalwolf:
Download the stock rom and unzip it. Somewhere within there I think you can find the actual APK for the Samsung Keyboard, beyond that I doubt it but why Samsung Keyboard? Try Swift Key instead, it's so much more effective.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] sd_N:
13600

i got 13600 on Slim ROM with AnTuTu. I dont really go by the benchmarks...i go by how the phone feels and works for me. I then flashed ktoonez AOSP kernel and it smooth as the oleophobic coating on gorilla glass...LOL :D

It's faster than my S3, so for that I'm satisfied...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] browy:
I'm using a S3 now and I'm quite happy with it. But one year ago I felt the same about my S2, and then I came across the S3 and was stunned by it. Screen resolution, speed, smoothness, everything was a huge improvement. Not for one second have I ever regretted upgrading my phone. But I'm not sure about it now. Since the S3 already has great screen resolution, any more PPI is a waste of battery, isn't it? For those who came from the S3, is the screen quality improvement really that noticeable to the eyes? And what about other factors like speed and smoothness? Are you impressed? I'm not really interested in those benchmarks and all, I'm interested in your opinion as a user. Is the improvement really noticeable to you?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyhassen:
I am a old s3 user. I noticed a big difference in the screen right away as I'm very meticulously about edges on stuff. But the speed is much better a long is better battery life by a little bit. There is a slight lag bug they are working out but it really doesn't bother me at all. If you root it and get rid of bloat it's barely noticeable. As for benchmark on quadrant I've hit about 12000 on stock. There is some kernels out on the sprint version and some for the others that have cracked 14000 from what I heard. On the Siii I use order and chaos a lot and some lag on high action areas but not much. On the s4 I barely have that issue. The features like scrolling with you Eye is alright but not worth it but the camera has AMAZING. Features that are worth it.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dean-xXx:
The screen is noticeable sharper, colors are beautiful.

Is a very smooth phone, at least mine is ok, just some minor lags here and there which will be fixed in the new update anyway.

If i remember well the s3 when was released with stock ICS was laggy and had problems also, everything got sorted during updates.

I didn't want initially to upgrade to s4 but one of my s3's got stolen, so i had to get a replacement.

For now, i'm very happy with my decision. The phone is amazing.

You can go to a shop and compare the s4 with your s3, you will see the difference.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noideaforusername:
The AMAZING screen alone is a reason to upgrade.

If you think your S3's display is amazing, go to a retail store and be stunned by the S4's display. AMAZING!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The-Kevster:
I came from the S3 and feel that it's a minor upgrade to the S4. S2 to S3 was a major upgrade. Screen size, quality, and speed difference between the S2 and S3 are huge but the S3 to S4 not so much.

My upgrade was free in that I'm on a 12 month contract and sold my S3 for twice the upgrade cost to the S4. If I'd paid to upgrade from the S3 to the S4 I'd have regretted it.

Just my 2p worth.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blackwolf10:
that's the same way i fell everytime i upgrade to a newer phone i never look back i have an s3 now and i am sure the galaxy s4 will be a worthy upgrade right now i am waiting till the problems are sorted out and will be getting it

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ZacksBuilds:
Hello everyone. Today I will he sharing my thoughts on the Incipio Feather case. Now I got this case yesterday and I have to say, this case is very lightweight and minimal. It has a sort of smooth case on the backside. The volume rockers and the power button are exposed with no casing for easier access. The top headphone jack and microphone is not covered as well as the bottom usb charging and spen holder. The only complaint I have with this case is the front edges and not covered. There are no hard covers blocking the screen from totally touching the ground or where ever you set the phone down.

One other thing, I just installed the 1.72.902 load and the IIWPO is in the remove list of the applications. Also the ext rom version # doesn't show up???
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] edsub:
@Z-man: The removal of IIWPO from the remove prgrams list is done by a cab in my 1.72.902 package called edsubsoft.cab.

It simply removes the appropiate registry keys.

You will have to add that cab to your config.txt in order to run it after every hard reset.

@Dataphd: See original thread for answers.

I will look into this as a bug in the registry file COULD give the result from it to not run at all. One other function of edsubsoft.cab is to set the ext rom # . . . .
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Z-man:
from what i know, your edsubsoft.cab has T-mobile customizations right? wont that affect my system? im using i-mate rom (waxx's) 1.72 with a cooked Ext. ROm
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] edsub:
I made a mistake in answering you. Plz see the 1.72.902 thread for more info.

To be short: Its not the eDsuBsofT.cab but the Version_172_902.cab that makes IIWPO un-installable (it also makes Customization Tools un-installable and sets the ExtROM version).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaelsp9:
This is my first android phone and therefore cm10.1 is the first ROM I've ever had so I've never updated my ROM before. Goo manager sent me a notification saying that Cm10.1 rc2 is now available but in order to download it do I have to wipe my phone to factory default or can I just install it over my old cm10.1 and keep my apps and stuff?? Thanks
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] machoman1337:
The whole point of the CM updater is that you don't have to wipe anything - not data, not cache. Just start the download, click OK to install when it finishes downloading, and it'll flash itself over your previous installation. The same applies to downgrading to an earlier release - no wipe needed.

Yes, you can keep your apps and system settings. No need to backup and restore - they'll be exactly the way they were before you downloaded the update.

However, if you are migrating to an entirely different ROM (i.e. not the official CM), then yes, you probably need to wipe. Going back and forth between different updates of the same ROM doesn't need wiping though.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sigma392:
You can just flash it normally using CWM. It's called Dirty Flashing. DO clear Cache and Dalvik before flashing :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaelsp9:
So what do I do just download the ROM and its gapps again and flash them both? Which one first?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sigma392:
Wipe Cache and Dalvik -> Flash ROM -> Flash GApps -> Reboot.

And don't forget custom kernels ;)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CMNein:
No need to flash Gapps again on CM, unless data is wiped because of the b/u scripts.

The updater script in the ROM also wipes the Dalvik for you.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AshtonTS:
Actually you don't have to do any of that except flash the rom and reboot. All the rest is automatic. ;)
