[AT&T HTC One (M7)] elvisamy:
One or S4 are two excellent mobilephone, i aslo want to own .but my salary could afford , so i just choose One. if you really like S4, you could buy it.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Orion575:
I did the same thing and never looked back since then !
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] dbdynsty25:
I'll quote myself to say that after the 14 days, I still really don't have a good answer to this dilema but the HTC One and Beats pill speaker for $99 sealed it for me. I like both phones A LOT, but the slight sluggishness on the S4 is what ultimately swayed me towards the one, even before I saw the link for the deal.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] thlinx:
Rather strange issue, the phone loses it's signal ie the 3g symbol goes away and sometimes the WiFi .. than it pops back on.. anyone else experience this?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] tommason1968:
Yes, I can go from 4g to 3g and sometimes even to no signal while sitting in the same spot
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] GottaProblemBro:
The phone tries to find the strongest connection.

There are a few guides on here but they are all out of date, referencing tools that are outdated and don't work, or just plain broken links. I'm also looking for a template theme that's based on the stock CM10.1 theme. I tried using SystemUI from a rom build but that didn't work too well...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NegativeOne:
Bump. Sorry. Plenty of people here making themes. Someone must know.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] yosterwp:
There are many tutorials in the android theme section here: http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=527

A long time ago, I wanted to learn how to make theme chooser themes, but along the way I learned from various places how to decompile existing themes and take looks on the inside on how they are made. Then I made my own tutorial here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1730445 . No self promotion intended, I took what I learned, and made more use of VTS instead of using command line tools directly for general understanding, and it pointed me in the right direction.

Hope that helps

i bought a beautiful 1:1 galaxy s4 clone with a cheap price its name is I9500 Original Size S4.Mod edit: commercial links removed. now let me share some picture and my feelings of this mobilephone with you.

First, it is used with MTK 6589 CPU, and Quad Core, it is the trend of mobilephone in nowdays; it make the phone operate very very fast, you know a quad core phone with 140USD already make make amazing.. and it equippment with a 4.7 inch display screen, everytime when i use it to play game or watch movie, the feeling is wonderful.

Second, the important thing and which i like most is the high pixels resolution of this mobilephone,, maybe next time when you see the beatiful scene, you needn't to use your camera, only use this phone to take a photograph.

Third, the battery of this phone is 2800mAh, my phone 's standby time is 2-3days, if i play game or watch movie, it could 1-1.5 day, the battary is quite well.not like other cheap chinese android phone with cheap battery,and the phone is support with multiple languages, it uses Android 4.2 operate system.

Fourth, the price of this mobilephone is very affordable, it is high performance to price ratio, and it is 1：1 copy Samsung S4, you could use original S4 case to protect your mobiephone.i ask the seller send me a case they agree with me and the case is nice work very well.

I will make a video and upload on youtube and will share with you laterly.

[Android General] terahertz5k:

[Android General] brady56:
of course it isn't gorilla glass screen,such a lowest quadcore phone if the factory still offer gorilla glass screen they don't have money to earn.
[Android General] mjalil:
well nothing better than the original devices from their manufacturer
[Android General] grigtm:
did u manage to root it ?

how abouth sound, signal and overall audio quality, does it makes decent pictures?

I readed alot of reviews of chines phones/replicas but didn't actualy came to touch one of those, I know that the case build is with cheapest plastic(I hope it doesn't have that bad smell as all chinese plastics)

cheers for your aquirement

---------- Post added at 09:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 AM ----------

does it have some os bugs ? does have any other bugs hardware/software related ?

share some of yours experience with this device

---------- Post added at 09:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:05 AM ----------

MEDIATEK chipsets are used by many producers, along with PowerVR SGX gpu that makes pretty decent figure in syntetic benchmarks

the problem with chinese phones is that they do not have a fan group to cheer them, but many people want's the devices produced there

but that it will change in the future: HUAWEI, ZTE, XIAOMI, MEIZU and other will come in front line, Huawei and ZTE had maneged to make their own designs, not just copy of some famous with many fans phones, also Iphone design was taken from an little chinese producer,

but this doesn't state that every chinese phone made/copy is good, that is why we need you to share your experience and thougths about this one, real impresions not just first wow, it looks like SGS 4 and that is all that matters, SAMSUNG is No1 and it is because they worked theyr a..es to be in top and gather fans for theyr devices, delivering top performance and top experience and afterall it is a shame to try to make your own name by useig/copying something that is allready no 1 and belongs to someone else without theyr agreement, for free, that is named theft, but China is China and maybe they will sell more if they will manage to find theyr identity, but for now China is a copy of something else that is not them, identity crisys, pretty bad, because they have potential, and when they will face with that and feel shame maybe then will realise
[Android General] cyclonmaster:
I also interested with this cheap copy phone since it's compatible with original battery and case. But, another thing that I want to know is custom ROM support, root solution, spare part supplier( I have copy of S3, drop by my son and cracked touchscreen and broke the LCD - cannot find any supplier for the spare part).

How can it be 1:1 when the S4 uses a 5inch screen and this uses 4.7...
[Android General] Jaistah:
Expect the quality you pay for.. that's basically it. But I am a bit intrigue with the 2800Mah battery, if that would be compatible with the real S4 then I want one.

[Android General] pork.hi.hat:
Is it just me or do posts like this seem to be written by the people making these knock offs? They include a link to be sure to send everyone to their product. Chinese manufacturers trying to fool tech consumers by writing what I see as a poor excuse for a review written by an English speaking consumer who just happens to not care a thing about build quality and just wants a phone that's fast because "that's enough" for them.

Can you root it? please share.

[Android General] nooktablet:
to me 1:1 means "identical" and yet this phone is smaller, has bigger bezels, looks uglier and looks very different from the s4, so i'm not sure how it's a "1:1 clone"

also not sure how long can that big-number 2800 mah battery will last

and megabytes of phone storage is enough for you to have a few songs on there
[Android General] emtzzz:
it looks similar but kinda different...interesting, but most of the time there will be poor support for the product..

any benchmarking test image you can share?
[Android General] brady56:
no i won't.becasue most of the chinese company will know write a low value on the package and mark as a gift to help us avoid pay for tax.if you worry about it you can tell the website owner after you order it
[Android General] brady56:
this 1:1 means it can use original samsung galaxy s4 case and battery.the size is the same as the original won't include the screen

[Android General] mickrick:
Import duty is not payable on imported mobile phones in the UK. Vat is payable. I bought my wife one of these for her birthday last week. It is exactly the same dimensions as the genuine S4 and I have ordered her 2 covers for it off ebay.

I rooted it using the method in my thread about rooting and installing custom roms on the N9500 and it worked just fine. Recovery is a different matter though. I used the cwm from an N9500 custom rom and it installed and boots to the cwm selection screen. Fastboot selection works ok but choosing recovery just boots the phone as normal.
[Android General] mickrick:
I also bought this phone for my wife as a birthday present. It can be rooted ok using the usual MTK6589 method.Can anyone tell me where to download a rom (stock or rooted) as I accidentally wiped the bootloader.

buy branded chinese ones..

i would not go for this or the 1s6..

it would be better to try the branded chinese ones..zopo, jiayu, zte , huwaei or Thl..

thlw8s or jiayau G4advaced or zopo p 780..one of the three would be a good buy for around 275$

Chinese phones

i have a thl w11 monkey king and love it to bits my daughter runs the Goophone s4 and it is a very good phone you have to research everything you buy nowdays no matter who makes it!!! :o
[Android General] Metallic Palladium:
I'm Chinese and I just don't see the appeal of these China 1:1 clone devices.

iPhones and Galaxy whatevers are so bloody common these days that you hardly impress anyone with the REAL thing let alone the fake one.

On the other hand you certainly will get heads to turn outside China when people notice your exotic looking China OEM phone with octa-core, 2GB RAM, 1080P screen all for about US$120 on Taobao. Now that is impressive.
[Android General] Phoneguy589:
Wish us U.S. folks could get phones like that without the HUGE markup... I'd even settle for the ability to get big name equipment available here rather than just amazon. I had wanted a Chinese phone... I think it was the padphone when it first came out and it was only available in China. I guess trying to warranty something would be a pain though.
[Android General] Metallic Palladium:
If you wanna buy one, you need a Taobao agent that is able to purchase and ship it to U.S for you; China sellers never ship internationally.

Secondly, the phone needs to be the WCDMA 2100 China Unicom version and your U.S carrier needs to support the same band. The China Mobile TD-SCDMA version is useless outside China unlike you just want 2G.

On the other hand, buying stuff on Taobao is much cheaper, and also less riskier since China buyers are much more picky and there is a ton more feedback than the export-oriented Aliexpress etc.
[Android General] brady56:
it is unlocked and work anywhere
[Android General] brady56:
yes these are also a nice phone but for 275USD the price is so high its not worth.

both are Quad core phone ,but this clone s4 only need 146USD it is much cheap
[Android General] brady56:
THL W11 has a bug,sometimes after you run out of power of the battery the THL W11 may can't charger anymore,you need take care about this,

yes i also saw Goophone S4 ,this phone sell on http://goophones.es/ website it is really very nice

---------- Post added at 02:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:46 PM ----------

you are so right i have had much interest in mine ;)
[Android General] brady56:
i would explain why you meat this problem.
[MENTION=5523406]Metallic Palladium[/MENTION] his explain is really ignorant

first,In china has three carrieroperators

china unicom support WCMDA 3g+gsm

China Telecom only support CDMA2000 this network can work some countrys such as ukraine

China Mobile TD-SDCMA 3G+GSM. TD-SDCMA can only use in china but GSM is still the same as other country which work with 900/1800.so if you bought a custom china mobile phone ,this phone can still work your country with GSM network(Except USA,Canada,mexico these countrys network frequence is 850/1900)

WCDMA 3G can work with 3G network and GSM network at the mean time,if the 3G signal isn't good and the GSM also can work with it.

and in china the GSM network frequence is 900/1800

but in USA,Canada,mexico the GSM frequence is 850/1900

so you said your phone can't work that's means you bought the phone is dual band and the frequence is different from yours.so it can't make a call.

Next time if you buy a phone from china ,suggest you read the phone description of the phone's frequence is dual band(900/1800) or quad band (850/900/1800/1900Mhz).if it 850/900/1800/1900Mhz that must can work in usa
[Android General] brady56:
yes i agree with you.no mattery what phone you use,you love the phone by yourself that's will be ok

[Android General] rbrandser:
I bought a Goophone S4. The description on the page i bought it from is wrong, they claimed 4gb "rom", gps, but internal storage was only 2gb (even if checking in settings it would say 8gb) and no GPS. the charger was defective. and i paid 30$ to get it shipped with DHL, 5-7 days shipment time. they sent it by mail and i had to wait 16 days.

the phone has a mtk6589 soc, clocked at 1.2ghz. it scores 13000 on antutu. a ltle better the samsung g s2. screen is 720p, but colors look washed out. not too bad though. the experience is not too bad on the phone. the worst part of the phone is very weak wifi signal, need to be close to wifi router. :)

[Android General] Sirandar:
Android has a very flexible and dynamic software model but it has one critical flaw.

It is very very common for app updates to break applications and once an app is broken by an update there is no recourse. It has happened to me at least 6 times in the last 2 years.

Here is a typical scenario:

1) You have a great app that works perfectly

2) You get a notification that there is an update to this app ..... you install it

3) The app is now broken after the update either it crashes or it fails to do what it supposed to do.

4) At this point you have absolutely no recourse except email the developer or look for an apk

5) Live without the app you bought sometimes for months

This is not an acceptable situation. The Play Store and developer rules need to be changed so that users can revert to the previous version for at least one month after an update. This is a major flaw and why many people are very afraid to update any app.

The worst example is with HTC phones and Google Navigation. Many HTC One S phones have been unable to run Google Navigation after the 4.1.1 update. This problem has been unresolved for almost 8 months .... that's 8 months without the Navigation app and that's a major function of the phone. If you can revert to a version that works this is not a big issue, but that isn't possible. In the end it was easier to get a new phone than address this issue.
