Nice one.

I got my S4 from eBay too. For £370.it was on o2 as well. Got an unlock code from a website for £15 that's permanently unlocked it.

I've been very happy. And lucky in my eBay experiences. :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] tonyr80:
Up until this happened I'd had 200+ transactions without 1 issue, then 2 back to back....

My S1 was off eBay, was a bargain and has never caused me one issue.

I am however a bit wary of unwanted upgrades after learning they could be blacklisted if they end their contract prematurely, if that happens a year later I doubt there's anything you could do about it.
[Galaxy S 4 General] hotlips69:
I was actually worried about buying a FAKE S4, i.e. something else masquerading as an S4.

Do these exist, or is it just me being paranoid?
[Galaxy S 4 General] frrlod:
They exist.

Having watching this clip, I was worried for a few seconds until I read the comments!

Mine has all the comments about being fake...no logo, yellow camera....instead the "fake" is the international version! :laugh:

I have wondered about Amazon market sales, whether it is more reliable/secure a method of obtaining a good deal, I wonder does anyone on here have any experience of it?
[Galaxy S 4 General] frrlod:
Generally Amazon is more trustworthy than eBay, especially if it says 'fulfilled by amazon' or it's sold by official stores (AnkerOfficial and stuff like that) - you can tell if they have a very high rating and their descriptions are written fluently (you should be able to tell between the chinese/whatever sellers and official stores).

BUT, there are many fakes on Amazon too.

Feel sorry for you buddy. I got mine from a website called Kogan. It costed me 689 AU dollars including shipping fee. It is quite cheap and it arrived a week after i paid. More importantly, it is not second handed or reselling product.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Bert02:
i too purchased an s3 that was an unwanted phone, i had a gut feeling it was dodgy but thought ebay would protect me if it was dodgy

how wrong was i

phone never sent, money gone

all ebay could do was email them as i payed by bank deposit. even police online fraud cant force them to pay back the money and a bank tranfser reversal doesnt work if they deny it

2 months on still trying for refund while there still buying stuff

ended up buying an S4 I9505 off kogan for $620 inc 32gm micro sd and freight couldnt justify paying $460 for an S3 when the S4 was going for that price
[Galaxy S 4 General] tonyr80:
Yea, PayPal payment protection is a must on eBay, I'd never trust a transaction without it really.

As it is I gave eBay another go as I spotted a deal that looked legit and unlikely to be a bad phone, got myself a new i19505, sealed box and with a receipt, £360. Pretty happy with that! Also got my money back from the 2 other bad deals, yay.
[Galaxy S 4 General] robogo1982:
Good to see you got the phone in the end. :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] tonyr80:
Thanks, now I get to reply with it :)

Anybody want buy s4 i9505 32gb version from malaysia can pm me..:)
[Galaxy S 4 General] nm8:
I am always skeptical when buying high value stuff from ebay so I always make sure the seller is nearby and I can collect. I just did yesterday and the phone was sealed etc... but I was having problem with the screen... it is dark on the top half of the screen which becomes very obvious when on websites with white /greay background. The seller is going to help me get a replacement... tomorrow in the local shop... fingers crossed!!!
[Galaxy S 4 General] pinsb:
Five simple rules for buying phones off E-Bay.

1. Don't buy from ANYONE with less then 50 decent value sales feedback. (Check the feedback to make sure it's not all purchases by the seller).

2. Don't buy from ANYONE who has been registered for less then 3 years...and active all that time. If the feedback has been dormant for say 6 months and the account is suddenly active again be suspicious as the account may have been hacked.

3. Always pay by Paypal, even if you collect, that way you can claim if needed.

4. Do not fill in positive feedback till the last day on which you can fill in feedback. If your phone works fine for 4 weeks and you fill in feedback only to find it's blacklisted the next day you cannot make a successful claim.

5. After winning the auction/buy it now phone the seller unannounced to ask a couple of questions. If you didn't know you can get sellers phone numbers by....

Advanced Search. --> Contact Info. -> Enter item number and sellers id

10 minutes later you'll have an E-Mail with their phone number.

If the phone number is fake/wrong don't complete the deal.

There's others I do but these are the main ones. In over 500 transactions on ripbay over 9 years I've never been diddled once.

Simple rule with ripbay....

If in doubt, don't.

Be safe.

i had the same issue with the s3 last year didnt make the same mistake with the s4 this year i went to a local store on launch to get it.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Diamond 2 owner:
Fully agree with your advises, but keep in mind, that items collected personally are not covered by Paypal protection.

See following part of PayPal User Agreement:

Payments for the following are not eligible for reimbursement under PayPal Purchase Protection:

...

•Items which you collect in person, or arrange to be collected on your behalf, including at the retail point of sale

...​
[Galaxy S 4 General] pinsb:
Sorry if a seller is trying to turn me over I'm not admitting I collected the item, I will ask him for proof of delivery in the claim though.
[Galaxy S 4 General] adg30107:
Agree. A decent seller is the most important thing!
[Galaxy S 4 General] Diamond 2 owner:
During Paypal payment procedure on the ebay website, you have to select whether it should be shipped to you or you want to pick it up personally.

If you choose first option, you have to pay for shipping. If you choose second option, your Paypal buyer protection is over, and nobody will ask you if you collected it or not, because Paypal/ebay is not taking responsibility in that scenario.

Choose shipping if you want Paypal protection. You can't outsmart this system.

Paying by Paypal have other advantages - first you have proof that you paid (seller can't denied), and second if you used you credit card, you can issue charge back claim in your bank.

Note 2 Samsung Keyboard for Note 1 supports 320 and 240 dpi.

Only for normal Rom, so not for only preload Rom, or not for Rom without Samsung keyboard.

(must do other versions to support them)

It was ported for S3, so it isn't my work I'm just re sized it for our Note.

Original Thread: Thanks to Arsaw

Tested on:

- stock XXLSZ (deodexed)

- stock XXLT4 (deodexed)

- Ultimate N7000 XXLT4 JellyBean 4.1.2 v6 ScreenShot

- Pristine JB All Languages v 4.0 (Slim) ScreenShot

- SweetROM 10.5 Black or White

- Ultimate JB 4.1.2 V5.2

The flashable zip must work with odexed, deodexed Rom. (tested only with deodexed yet)

If you have the SamsungIME.apk in preload, then it will be moved to system.

So, I didn't made two zip, only one all in one.

The updater-script makes all changes and cleans the cache. (needed to avoid FC with Tap sound)

Before using it backup your current Rom, need more testing, or if you don't like it restore the stock keyboard.

Keyboard info:

Note 2 Keyboard (Fully working)

Auto correct not enabled

Long press delay 200ms

Input languages: en; az; ca; cs; da; de; et; es; eu; el; fr; gl; ka; hr; it; is; kk; lv; lt; hu; nb; nl; pl;

pt; ru; ro; fi; sr; sk; sl; sv; tr; uk; ko; hy; bg ; ar; zh; in; vi; ms; th; fa; iw; ur;

Handwriting support for: bg, ca, cs, da, de, el, en, es, et, eu, fi, fr, gl, hr, hu, id, is, it, kk, ko, lt,

ms, nb, nl, pl, br, pt, ro, ru, sk, sl, sr, sv, th, tr, uk, vi, zh, ur

The Note 2 keyboard can update the standard language data from the Samsung servers!

The base zip has only handwriting support for EN-GB and EN-US.

I made two zip the first it's the base and in the second are the files for Handwriting support.

BG = Bulgarian; CA = Spanish; CS =Czech; DA = Danish; DE = German; EL = Greek; EN = English;

ES = Spanish; ET= Ethiopian; EU = Basque; FI = Finnish; FR = French; GL = Galician; HR = Croatian;

HU = Hungarian; ID = Indonesian; IS = Icelandic; IT = Italian; KK = Kazakhstan; KO = Korean; LT = Lithuanian;

LV = Latvian; MS = Malay; NB = Norwegian; NL = Dutch; PL = Polish; PT = Portuguese; RO = Romanian;

RU = Russian; SK = Slovak; SL = Sierra Leone; SR = Suriname; SV Swedish; TH = Thai; UK = Ukrainian;

UR = Urdu; VI = Vietnamese; ZH = Chinese;

Please copy your Handwriting support files from Note2_Handwriting_Support_files folder to (base zip)

system/VODB folder.

If you can't see yours, then don't need the copy anything to base zip. (English included in it)

example: I need Hungarian so must copy hu_HU folder to base zip.

result: system/VODB/hu_HU

Then push the base zip to your Note, reboot to recovery and install it as zip.

Don't know what you did but:

- keyboard doesn't show on keyboard list for me (Ultimate ROM with some changes)

- SwiftKey which previously didn't work (after update; never showed up when brought on screen), now works

- my Note is now INSANELY fast and smooth, it never behaved like that even after restart (and no wipe etc. made it this quick)

Now I think whether to try and fix this or screw the awesome handwriting capabilities and keep it this way :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] tkari4:
Thanks for your feedback!

Downloading Ultimate Rom right now.

If Ultimate Rom use only preload, then can't do one all in one zip. (must see)

This zip is made for the Rom's in /system and /preload and not for only /preload. (maybe that's the problem)

Sorry! Forget it!

:o

Edit: Ultimate v6 looks normal, so must try it, more info tonight...

I have flashed to my Xperia-Z-ized™NOTE v1.0 which has apps in both preload and system/apps, it flashed fine but no keyboard, none of the files are in either preload or sys/apps.

Not sure what happened. I have no standard Note keyboard before this anyway, the rom dev did not include one, the Xperia keyboard is there

Works perfect with the Ultimate v6:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] alvinhaw:
Thanks once again but i don't see there's any different from stock keyboard.

the only different is choose language for download the rest all same...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] tkari4:
I did it because the stock keyboard doesn't support Hebrew.

If you type on the Hebrew Keyboard, then it writes in English.

In theory, there are more vocabulary..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] tkari4:
Works with Pristine JB All Languages v 4.0 (Slim):
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] harold5249:
It has auto correction. But no auto substitution? Which means something like note 8 keyboard, space bar is to enter higher probability word in prediction bar.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] tkari4:
It's my fault for incorrectly written in Hebrew:

so, looks better:

The typed word was unknown... :o
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] harold5249:
Haha. Will update soon? ^^
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] tkari4:
I'm using the same version. There is no change.

Only the typed Hebrew word was wrong.

So, the keyboard couldn't propose anything.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Gambolputty:
So this is CWM's fault then, I checked it and the permissions for .apk and libswiftkeysdk-java.so were set to rw instead of rw-r-r, so it's either helloWorld's CWM being stupid or the package script has some flaw in it
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] tkari4:
Thanks for your feedback!

I'll try with c.o.h.

I made the test with PhilZ, whit PhilZ never had permission problem.

But I can set the permissions in the updater script. Safety first!

;)

Hi tkari4,

You made me and the hebrew note owners very happy with this keyboard. Finally we have samsung original localized keyboard. Thx. :laugh:

The least i can do is to hit thanks on many post of you. So i pressed 7 or 8 times now you r very close to 500 thx.

I will downolad it soon. I have the great thaidai rom and the c.o.h kernel(must have) the permissions in the updater script is ok now ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] tkari4:
You're welcome!

Didn't tested it yet, but c.o.h has the same cwm base as the PhilZ.

First backup your current Rom.

If something not working, then you can set the permissions manually.

But before trying it install second keyboard (like swiftkey) set it as default and then install the zip.

Working now on my Rom... ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] tkari4:
OK!

Tested it with c.o.h.'s HelloWorld kernel v1.3.7b and with Pristine JB All Languages v 4.0 (Slim) .

No problem Note 2 keyboard it's OK!

Permissions are set properly!

:good:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] avicho:
Thx again tkari.

Another question. Do you know if there is any chance that if i find a vodb folder in note 2 roms that has vodb folder of the hebrew files, and add it to the keyboard files as you explained, will it work?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] tkari4:
When Samsung release it, then only copy it to VODB folder and then must work.

I think isn't released yet.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] avicho:
I'v seen here in israel the note 2 with the handwriting capabilities(but i dont remember if it was jb), so i need to find the right stock rom that includes it..

from last may there is the vobd folder, m i right?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] avicho:
Hi tkari,

I'v tested 3 times to flash the zip file (even with fresh install of thaidai slim ver 4.0, and there is no keyboard at all after the flash?

(both philz and c.o.h kernel) why it's hapenning?

EDIT:

I'v found the answer!! this zip file from the dev-host file is corrupted. i'v used the other zip from android file host and it's ok!!

Another thing when i'm using the hebrew keyboard and move to handwriting - it's working like charm without installing any vobd folder! man it's great! thx.

Answer in Post #36: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=43484597&postcount=36

Install only the base and download your language!

Yeah, with the offline files you can do nothing...

I'm using them only for IdeaSketch Handwriting support. (if I'm on the stock Note keyboard..)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] alvinhaw:
thanks for ur reply...

so the VODB is only works on ideaSketch.

will try it.. thanks once again n have a NiceDay...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] tkari4:
You're welcome!

The included files in VODB are only the offline handwriting support files.

If you are using my keyboard from the OP, then don't need to add them for IdeaSketch handwriting support.

(because you can download them, then you are using the new files)

If you are on the stock Samsung keyboard for example, then you need the VODB files from base.zip and the Handwriting files for your language.

After i do it it stuck at HTC Quietly brilliant logo. I press power + volume down and tryed go to recovery and erase cache but when i press Recovery it show TWRP screen and stuck on it too. When i in fastboot and press HBOOT it show SD Card failed or something like that. So i think my SD card not mount when i turn on my phone, how to fix this guys ?? everything was fine until today. If you know anyway to get my SD Card mounted please tell i really need to fix this problem :(
[HTC One X] matt95:
That's strange man, how did you transfer it?
[HTC One X] ryaniskira:
Try to use ADB to flash another recovery while in fastboot I believe its "adb flash recovery /folder/folder/recoveryfilename.zip" see if that works. If adb gives you a permission error type into BASH terminal (Ubuntu/Debian) or command prompt (win) "adb root". If that recovery works there should be an option somewhere to Mount the SD card. Make sure the recovery you flash is built for your device.

Nexus 4 CyanogenMod 10.1.0RC5
[HTC One X] matt95:
it is

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

but i don't think that this will solve his problem, i think that something messed up his partitions, probably he will need to run a RUU and see if that works
