[Q] question about software of s4 into nexus 4

Ive never hacked a phone before but I know my way around computers.

Im sorry if this question isnt in the right section.

I just upgraded from a nexus 4 to a galaxy s4 and I am really hating the user interface.

Is there any step by step instructions on how to get my s4 software looking just like my nexus 4?

I have an unlocked s4 i9505 from the middle east

Ive searched all over the intenret and I cant seem to find it.

I would also like to be able to update the software as soon as google comes out with new ones.

Thanks in advance for your help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] CamFlawless:
Check the android development subsection on methods for rooting your device. From there, install a custom recovery, and research the process of flashing custom ROMs.

That's the gist of it. I would recommend spending a couple hours reading thoroughly before jumping in to it. There are countless threads around here answering any questions you will have. Research them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Bigbabyjesus:
First I want to say I'm not a rocket surgeon, I've done this successfully before but I've also bricked a device (not the GS4) this will void your warranty and there is the possibility that your phone may become unusable. Just be careful, have fun and read up!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=39901375

That link will help you out with getting root access. After you have root access download Rom Toolbox from the play store. After you'vedownloaded and gone through the introduction you will be in the main menu, go Tools>Rom Management>Manage>Flash Recovery. A few options for recoveries will probably pop up I now use TWRP it is a great touch interface but in the past I have used CWR and it is fine as well, it's all personal preferance but for the most part my directionswill be for TWRP. Click one and it will flash it and reboot. If you ever want to get into recovery after this you simply hold down volume up and home while rebooting or powering up (there will be blue text in the top corner of the splash screen when button combo is successful)

Next you will want to look through the xda forums for your device, in the original developement section you will find threads labeled [ROM] anything that is built from CM10.1 (Cyanogenmod) or AOSP (Android open source project) or AOKP (Android open kang project) will all have a very stock Android, minimalist interface. You download one of these along with the Gapps files (google addons) and put it on your SD card where you can easily find it later.

Reboot into recovery and MAKE A BACKUP! It will be in the backup and restore option. Then you will want to wipe some of the partitions the steps for that are a little bit recovery specific, but I recommend a full wipe if you are going from touch wiz to source built. That means I would wipe /system, /data, cache, and dalvik cache (in TWRP it's easy just put x in the box beside those options in advanced wipe)

Now go back to main menu and click install, navigate to the ROM you put on your sd card select it and swipe to flash. Then do the same with Gapps. After all is done and it is reported as installation successful reboot the phone. First boot might hang for a while on the boot animation after the splash screen (some times it's over 10 minutes) be patient it will eventually fire up.

If something goes wrong or you don't like it you can always boot back into recovery and Restore the old software with the backup (nandroid) you made n before flashing.

Hopefully this was helpful.

You would think be able to update it as soon as google releases it. You will have to wait for it to be ported over. This is not a nexus. You will have ever to wait for developers also if it is the exynos device there will always be issues that can't be fixed with aosp roms. S

Hi.

What other chargers can I use for charging the GTab?

Am I right all chargers providing 5 Volts and minimum 2 Amps with USB connector are suitable - using the original Samsung cable?

Can I use my CubieBoard Charger - 5 Volts, USB connector but 3 AMPS?

Posting here because new account can't post in Goldeneye Rom thread. My wifi is disabled and won't turn on. I installed the jflteatt Faux 005m kernel, have no idea if that's the problem or not-- and I can't find the original Goldeneye kernel without flashing the entire rom. I've tried different modems, and un-doing all of the Nottouch Xposed stuff, and un-doing every other tweak or addition I've made on it. I have no idea what the problem is. Has anybody else had these issues? Do you know what the fix is?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] eallan:
I'm having a similar issue, wifi was working fine and now it WILL NOT turn on, no matter the rom or kernel :(

I got some scratches on the bottom speaker grill and was thinking of replacing it, is it possible ? Easy ?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tinderbox (UK):
From what i have read on xda the bottom speaker grill is just glued in place, so a hot air gun should loosen it, also from what i have read their are a few company's that sell htc parts and you can buy a spare grill.

I read this in a thread, some member wanted to paint his silver grills black, see if you can find it.

Worked perfect, thank you, that saved me some time to find out where the xmls were, massive help for my new theme..
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] grgsiocl:
I tried all other apks and everything is coming white with small change in xml. I guess you can try as well! Tonight i will try to edit the framework as well (oops I just done it and need to change the secondary color and framework is also done), in the mean time, here you go the myfiles...still the work needs to be done though...

I use vrtheme but i cant use that for settings because the value folder is hidden in the apk

Please make white music player and keyboard if possible..
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] grgsiocl:
it wworks with odexed as well, because i am not making any changes in classes.dex, hence you can follow the guide with no problems... Let me reveal the secret..

all the apks and framework xml's needs to be changed from Theme.DeviceDefault to Theme.DeviceDefault.Light in styles.xml and twseconadry and primarycolors needs to be changed. Thats all, you will have white theme of entire samsung ROM

Another Hidden secret! TO make any app to work in full window. Navigate to styles.xml and add the following line

<style name="Theme" parent="@*android:style/Theme.DeviceDefault.Light">

<item name="android:windowFullscreen">true</item>

</style>

Bro, i am not much in to themeing, I am only interested in coding...but somehow (I love white though) i got motivated to make this theme by editing xml files...i guess, you can contact vertumus , propably he can help you...

edit: I guess it can be done, as i remember DARKY ROM / ALLIANCE ROM scripts works like vrtheme and they use the same for themeing...i will check tonight
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Rixsta:
there is many things in settings that still has white text, if you were to use a pure white background then there is a lot in the sub menus that would be unreadable. I think the project is just far to big for myself to make a complete theme, its just to complex

Thanks anyway

follow the instructions given in OP to make the secsettings white. If not post your secsettings.apk i i will mod it for you. I dont want users to use the secsettings from other devices as it breaks the contacts and phone applications.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] grgsiocl:
task manager i will do it in a while. But notification panel, i guess you can you use nottach xposed module to make it looke like new galaxy tab dropdown and thats how i themed it my self. Or else i will also see to theme the systemui using VRtheme.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] leeomendes:
hahaha I guess you misunderstood me... I said that I already had all the white applications, apart from SamsungIME.apk that I took from your post and I was just saying that all the ones you posted for I9500 works on I9505, apart from SecSettings.apk :)

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] grgsiocl:
if you flash VRtheme of vertmus, then the tab size will be reduced (as vertmus modified it) and that needs to be corrected at framework level. I placed a request to vertmus and waiting for his answer. If i found in the mean time, then i will upload the addon to flash the fix. If you want to revert back, then you need to flash secsettings.apk and framework-res.apk!

To be honest, I am a developer. Ask me to write a code, i will do it. I am not in to themeing, though i know how it can be done. This is the first time in my life i am trying to theme as i love white and i was waiting for themer to develop it. Waited for long and now i though let me compare the earlier builds coding and then port and thats what i am doing. Anyways i will try to fix that ASAP.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] nino64:
Once again thank you for your work! we are still waiting for the call recording mod and no Increase sound. You can change the theme in white
