http://www.247xtreme.com/S4/

From DarkMenace's signature, quite a nice resource he has composed. I ran into a similar situation with TWRP and ClearnRom 1.3 last night, ended up using Odin to push the "SCH-I545_MDK_562219_Stock_Restore.tar.md5.gz" in that link. Went back to bone stock, but it's nice to know there is a fallback incase something ever goes awry.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dopediculous:
Bro. Thank you! This reminds me of the good ol' fascinate. Lol

So will this take away root too?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DarkMenace:
Yes, but there are root files there also.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dopediculous:
So then what? Or do I just use Odin to do the whole kernel flashing thing again to gain root? Sorry to sound so noobish, just don't wanna go through this again. Lol

Should I just maybe try that VRUAMDK no wipe .tar?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DarkMenace:
You use Odin. You can use either file.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dopediculous:
Yeah I know I use Odin. I guess I should have worded that better.

If I push the .tar you mentioned, I lose root, but some root files will still be there. So my question is... What files and what can I do with them? Or do I just start the whole root process over again as in the first place with those two modified kernels?

The other "no data wipe .tar" file you push with Odin as well, but would you retain root? If so... I would prefer the no wipe .tar, but you know better than me and I greatly appreciate your help and guidance. If the first .tar file is the better way to go and start all over, that's what I'll do. Its almost done downloading anyways, but was just curious about the no wipe and if ya knew anything more about it. I owe you man! :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DarkMenace:
Both files will remove root. You would need to reflash with the kernel files.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dopediculous:
Cook thank you again! El fiñ :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jujuburi:
Is it possible? I find the Stock kernel to be most stable and fast, but the low audio output on headphone especially for some formats forced me to use some custom kernels. But I ultimately came back to stock kernel today. So is there any way to boost the headphone and speaker volume without the help of a custom kernel? Any app or anything? I'd really like to have one!

I can always change the gain.dB file but it's needless to say it's a weird process in middle is something, especially while you're watching a movie or something. So that slider is needed, preferably in an app, so that it could be changed on the fly. Should've the range from 55-63 dB for speaker and 50-63 dB for headphones and all.

Thanks in advance.

Flash the Redpill Kernel and Enable speaker tuning as it goes Very well with this Mod it increases the volume of you ringtones aswell
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jujuburi:
Yeah thanks pal, but I really didn't wanna go the custom kernel way.

So this mod won't work for increased ringtone volume? I don't know, but even the lock screen sliding effect sound is boosted a lot but why not the ringtone!

For past three or so months I've disabled that thingy, actually I haven't, I think ARHD comes with it being disabled by default. That's why when I enabled it in Xposed didn't notice any difference.

Hey folks,

So I have my awesome Galaxy S4 from Rogers (SGH-i337M), rooted it (just root), and I wanted to change the sound it makes while using the Light effect on the unlock screen. While I've looked in /system/media/ui and found a couple of unlock sounds, none of the ones there seem to be the one I'm looking for.

Anyone willing to help a Galaxy n00b out (I used to have an X10).

I Need Help !!
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teamg123:
Hey man

it's already a good thing you can get into download mode.

First off, you'll have to search for a stock rom for your country on Sammobile, go to this page and enter your device's information and your country: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/

Second off, you'll have to unzip/unrar the file from Sammobile, which will give you a .tar file - that right there is the stock firmware that we'll now flash onto your device again.

Third off, you should put your device in download mode and connect your S3 Mini to your computer via a micro-USB cable (if your computer doesn't recognise the phone, download Samsung Kies and that will install the correct drivers so your computer does recognise it).

Then open up Odin and put the .tar file in the 'PDA' section. Leave the other sections empty! Hit start and wait until it says that the device is all good to go. Don't disconnect the cellphone until Odin says so!

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serophia:
You install onto computer and use the command prompt in windows to boot to recovery just search how to install adb. It can get confusing to download and install it might take a bit of time.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mt3g:
Added Cm nightly with a little detail to it. Will get more in depth tomorrow or asap. My main guess on why it isn't in OG Dev section yet, is cause they want it more stable before an official release so the thread doesn't get hammered with negativity, just a thought though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] inphamous36:
I believe the reason it is posted in general and not original is because someone made the thread as a sort of FYI, cm10.1 is here. I believe the person who is actually maintaining it just hasn't made his own thread in our forum, thats not to say that someone will eventually. I think he is too busy and important Lol. Oh well. I may be way off base too. Idkk
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PseudoChris:
Love it!

Great job putting together this summary of current Roms.

Just a couple ideas..

1. This should certainly be sticky in either this or a dev section if it is well maintained.

2. If you would like help from those of us w/S4's testing these Roms, it could also be a good idea to throw this info into an excel sheet on google docs where people can add lists of bugs to report for each release and help to update information as it comes out. (All can be subject to OP approval of course)

Consolidation can be very helpful with the right amount of collaboration. :)

Thanks for this!

Spreadsheet Collaboration

This was kind of what I was thinking in terms of an excel. The primary reason for this would be to allow others to add information about roms as they come out, ultimately making this Rom Bible more complete/up-to-date and saving you time and effort. ;)

I was thinking something like this...

Right now I just have TouchWiz base roms compiled, but the list can be completed if this seems useful.

I've been hoping to see something like this - a list of ROMs with links to each, and a very very brief summary of what makes each one unique. I didn't know it existed until someone posted and brought it back to the front page.

My only concern is how current this is, at this point - are the descriptions still reasonably accurate?

The very first page should have a last edit date, I haven't updated it since. I doubt I will as there is one stickied for you guys already. If that one isn't updated then take it up with the op of that thread and a mod or something. I rarely get on xda anymore for posting and helping others.

If someone does a right up for any of the ROMs they would like to see added, I'll simply make links and add it to my op and update accordingly and give credit to who wrote it up.
