Hi guys I used to love this app on my old iPhone. I have been searching this app for my galaxy note 2 but can't find any near this one.

Can someone please help me with this.

This is what you are looking for i think
[Android Apps and Games] PiskopatYazar:
its not that good at all.

Color Accent is one touch only for example you want only yellow color to be shown on the picture you just need to click on yellow thats it you dont need anything else.

this one you have sent is same as color booth need to spend too much time to get a picture done.
[Android Apps and Games] andrevs_ro:
Try Picsart. You need 30 seconds to edit your photo. The tool is called color splash and you find it in effects menu.

Picsart is a very powerful tool and it.s free.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] userdefind:
I don't know if this is sds or something else plz do help. What happened is I was using phone phone to watch bell tv when my network kicked out and said no sim card. My phone was really low on batt but I restarted my phone and pulled it in but when it would restart there was no batt charge going on and the phone just dimmed out. It took about three retries but I got it to start charging. I don't know if this helps but at the time of all this the batt temp was over 41c. Could this be sds
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aka_sirok:
first check with another charger if it works. Is there a red flash light?Are you able to enter recovery or download mode?

41degrees is not that much so i think that's not the problem

btw if a new charger dsn't work and you were in stock rom/kernel and flash counter at 0 send to samsung for repair
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] userdefind:
I'm on a stock rom rooted with xposed framework and some other minor mods to build . prop. If you need to know all the mods I can let you know. But I used widget to monitor the charge and all my chargers where charging at around 1800 (I think it's mv). It was more so a really messed up glitch I have never seen before
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aka_sirok:
it is really strange :S well you can check is there is a red light in the proximity sensor, check if the usb is working (sometimes it moves a bit and doesn't work until you find the position (it can take hundreds of tries to make it work) ) also check if the battery is inflate (really fat) and if the phone allows you to enter recovery or download mode somehow. also if u remember the version if it was 4.1.2 or 4.1.1.

thanks in advance
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] userdefind:
I'm on a note 2 of course lol SGH-I317M 4.1.2 the battery isn't fat or anything and I can still get into Download mode. I don't have a custom recovery because I haven't been able to get it working (do need help with that sometime) and the usb is working fine I do believe I clean off the the pins and never have ever had a problem like this before
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] userdefind:
On for the red little there use to be and you could see it really well. But not any more you can't really see it anymore
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aka_sirok:
well you can also enter recovery although you dont have a custom one (stock). however, it seems like SDS or a dead usb or battery but i think that is sds. try flashing your region stock rom through odin (you'll lose ur data) or make a full wipe with recovery (it deletes data too) if it doesn't work i hope that you counter was at 0...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] userdefind:
How do you get into recovery when it's stock and what's the difference between recovery and download mode
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aka_sirok:
recovery is just some commands such as wipe data, cache install something with sd and so on and it apperars by oppening the phone pressing power+home+ vol. up

download mode is a special mode used to flash mostly with odin (although it is used with kies too) and is the same procediment but with volume down instead of up key pressed when boot
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] userdefind:
How do u get Into it. And is there one when your stock I couldn't get mine to work

I've been searching high and low ive read everything and maybe im not understanding but after I root my phone how do I do the whole loki thing??... I'm eager to start flashing roms... Ive read of some recoveries that do this is that an accurate assessment??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] joeybear23:
What exactly are you trying to do?

If you want to install a custom ROM or kernel, you need a custom recovery. The ROM or Kernel developer will have LOKI-fied it for you.

For TWRP (my custom recovery of choice) Download GooManager from the Play Store and install.

Inside the goo.im app, go to menu>Install OpenRecovery Script

then you can boot into recovery to apply kernels, ROMs, etc to your hearts desire
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] KINGDROID25:
Its tht ez just root and add custom recovery??.. The whole loki thing is what's been throwing me off

Noob here first time posting I rooted my phone and installed cwm using casual method, created backup and installed mint rom love it but after a couple of post I see I didn't backup EFS should I be worried?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Rastabolino:
I'm not sure what the deal is with backing up the IMEI number on our phones yet. I have not seen anyone post about losing their IMEI yet so I wouldn't be too worried. On the s3 only the international model phones could be backed up by saving the efs folder. The backup process for AT&T phones was much more complex. I assume the same holds true on the s4. Will update when I find out more
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] IEndz:

Hi there

I'm switching from HTC (and I won't miss them), as I'm getting my S4 next week.

It's the

Rogers

version.

So forgive me for the stupid noob questions ...... I've read the OP and also clicked on the the links

- If I understand correctly, this method will not work for me, as I will probably get the S4 with the latest firmware (MG1).Correct ?

- Also I assume this version has an unlocked bootloader

- if it's the case, should I use the CF auto-root method ?

(Of course, when I get the phone, I will check the firmware version)

I'm finally getting the Galaxy S4 :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Rastabolino:
Welcome to the S4...With a Rogers phone you don't have the locked bootloader to contend with so yes, you can easily root, flash custom recovery etc...just make sure that the root you use is for the firmware that you have on your phone when you get it. :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] salutcemoi:
Thanks

Yeah based on what I have read so far, the only method that works for the latest Rogers S4 is CF autoroot, but I want to be 100% sure.

A friend of mine has the Rogers S4 too, and rooted it with Motochopper, but it was back in May, so I assume it was before the firmware update.

But it looks much easier than rooting an HTC ,lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] saj222:
Just got my Rogers S4 on Wednesday. Rooted with CF-auto root. My phone didn't even know what hit it ;) .

Had the S3 before but this S4 is an improvement all round. Plus there are way more ROMs available.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] salutcemoi:
Thanks

Yeah I was gonna get the S3 because it's cheaper, but I thought hey Rogers is offering the S4 for 99$ so why not

Ok so after that you used Goo Manger to flash recovery ? which onw do you recommend, TWRP or CWM ?

Which AOSP and TW based ROMs have you tried so far ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] saj222:
Yes I used goo manager to flash twrp. I used twrp with the S3 so I'm familiar with it. I used CWM when I had an HTC Hero and it was fine. I'm sure it's come a loooong way since then.

Side note, the latest version of twrp acts a little weird for me. Hanging on boot, taking a while to do simple tasks. I put version 2.5.0.2 on my phone and it's good now.

NooB for sure...

Ok so I started a new job and they let me pick any phone I wanted, I already have an iPhone 5S so I decided to go with a Galaxy S4, here's my question. How can I tell if my phone can be rooted? I hear about this issue with MF3 and all this other stuff. I don't want to brick my phone and I want to read a know how to do it right. I am just starting to explore the Android world and I want to expand my mind.

So this is what my phone says under the "About Device" section in settings:

Model Number: SGH-I337

Android Ver: 4.2.2

Baseband: I337UCUAMF3

Kernel version: 3.4.0-812098

Build number: JDQ39.I337UCUAMF3

Secure boot: Type: Samsung

So being a noob I would like to know if it's possible to root and customize my phone. I really would love to get a custom ROM or something custom instead of all this bloatware and extra garbage, I keep hearing about how customizable Android is and how much more powerful they are then the iPhone and I'm interested to find out if this is at all true.

Help me out....Thanks!

Shatterbox
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] 78Staff:
You have an MF3 as noted by the firmware. But fear not, MF3 can be rooted, and now you can also load custom roms using the SafeStrap method, which is actually safer since you always have your stock rom available. Please read up on these threads...

Ok so I've been reading and I have a newb question. I would really love to run a custom Rom and uninstall all the bloatware and stuff that comes on the phone from AT&T. I have the MF3 build. Is all we're lacking to be able to do this as of now the lack of a custom recovery? Safestrap sounds awesome but I already don't have a lot of memory storage available as it is right now so I'd love to be able to just install a custom Rom and not have so much bloat ware. Sorry for the newb question but I'm just trying to learn.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] :
I've read the mf3 thread all the way thru early on. But, not needed by me, so not up to date and will let others answer with first hand exp. Check out the links above.

My comment will be don't delete the bloatware right off. Just freeze with Titanium BackUp. Many have gotten into trouble deleting stuff and finding out it was needed for something else to work that they needed.

I have caught some comments on there on how people are dealing with memory issues. Some were toward end of main att thread, forget which one--
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] midas69:
First, I'd like to thank everyone for all the great info in this thread. It's been a big help. But as always, that doesn't mean I don't have some questions. :laugh:

I own a HP Touchpad running Android and Note 10.1 tablet. My current phone is a Razr Maxx. And (UPS willing) I should be the owner of an S4. The only caveat is that my carrier will be AIO. Everything I've read makes it sound like it's virtually identical to the AT&T version. But I know there can be big differences between 'identical' and 'virtually identical'.

At the moment my biggest need is ROOT. And that's where my first questions come in. Has anybody had success using the methods for the AT&T versions on AIO hardware?

On that note, if I try the root methods and it doesn't work, can I really do any damage?

I saw some mentions of Mobile Odin being used on the i337. But the product page on Google Play doesn't show it as compatible. And I think I saw people bothering Chainfire to get the i337 working. So I'm confused, will it work or not? I own the Pro version but I really only bought it as a way to support the Dev. I think I've only used it once.

As far as custom recoveries,right now I'm not worried about flashing custom ROMs. I want to play with the stock for at least a few weeks. But I do like the extra safety of nandroid backups. But wholly crap, I can't believe I venture into this area of XDA and see Hashcode and Safestrap. The last posts in this thread mention it as a work in progress. I guess I'll next venture into some of the Safestrap threads to see what the current state is. But this is a really exciting surprise.

Thanks in advance for any help. In case you can't tell, I'm really excited about my pending new arrival.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] midas69:
Well now I'm really bummed. Turns out the AIO model numbr i337z and the baseband version is MH1. Tried Kingo, but it didn't work. Really desperate to get root. Just wish I knew enough to figure it out myself. Hopefully I stumble upon something.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jt1998:
Good luck. Wish I could help!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ericl619:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] thirdcoastraised:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] midas69:
Yes, sorry, I didn't mention it in this thread, but yes a new version was released yesterday and it worked on mine too. There were a few scary moments, but the end result is all that matters.

SS, Patcher

Hi,

I have Safestrap. But I just read about Patcher. What is the difference? I feel safe with SS. But wondered if I should move to patcher if it's better for a S4 with AMD baseband.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Yasoso:
Great thread!

Very informative, thank you!!!:good::good::good::good::good::good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] 78Staff:
Patcher gets around the SS 3GB Slot limit, but also requires more up front work as you must manually patch any roms or kernels, etc before flashing - thus limiting what you can use to what the dev has patches available for. BUT, many popular roms &kernels are supported. Patcher app is PC based from what I can see, so you are tied to that somewhat when making changes.

I have not used patcher, but just by reading, SS seems safer, more "idiot-proof" than patcher, but opinions may differ :). Also, with patcher if you want to keep a TW room as your primary OS, you will need to debloat it quite a bit for space concerns. With SafeStrap, that is unnecessary, even discouraged.

If you just want to be able to run multiple roms, and you are NOT on a MF3 phone, probably the easiest solution would be to run a dual-boot capable rom like the one from the Patcher Dev...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Ms. K:
Hi,

That was wonderfully clear for me. I'm sticking with SS until I'm more educated on my system.

regarding LTE network

Great thread, very useful for me, thanks!

I have one question: I can buy a Samsung galaxy S 4 AT&T SGH-i337 relatively cheap in Singapore. I live in Thailand and Germany and I highly doubt, that the US model would work here because of the different LTE networks used in the US.

(SGH-i337 = LTE 700/1700/2100 vs. GT-i9505 LTE 800/850/900/1800/2100/2600)

Would it be possible to flash another radio version to make an SGH-i337 work with GT-i9505 networks?

Otherwise I would have to live without LTE and may be without 3G (2G should work as far as I understand the spec’s) in Thailand and Germany.

Thanks and regards

It is safe to flash I9505 ROMS?

I was on Canadian Bell SGH-I337M and I flashed the GT-I9505G on my phone. It is my understanding that the Google Play Edition's hardware is identical to the Canadian variants. I was on the AMDL 4.2.2 firmware when I did it. Before you try it, I would check and see what firmware you are on before you flash anything. Not the that the hardware is not compatible, but the crappy firmware Samsung, AT&T and possibly the Canadian carriers is pushing may ruin your ability to flash anything safely to your phone. If your phone is on anything greater than 4.2.2, BEWARE. Investigate and do your research before you flash anything.

Noob needs clarification

First post and I sure hope this is in the right forum.

SGH-i337m

4.2.2

MVLUAMG1

rooted

cwm-recovery

Thats it! I have made no other mods

So I have a few noob questions. I obviously want to flash custom roms so heres my story....4.3 downloaded some time ago and I never installed it after hearing of so many problems, the files are in my phone (I can see the knox store and I disabled it) but like I said I never installed it.

So what I need to know is

1- do I need to remove the 4.3 update somehow although its not installed?

2- can I flash any custom roms for my specific device and not have to worry about the issues with 4.3 or 4.4 and still revert back to 4.2.2 stock if needed?

3- can anyone confirm that I definitely should NOT ever install the official 4.3 or higher.

I'm being very cautious as this is my first go at it ( the rooting and recovery proccess went perfect the first time after a lot of research) and I dont want to screw it up now, lol

Thanks to anyone who can help/
