Hello, im new here so i dont know if im posting this on the right place or not, so excuse me if im not.

I recently got a Samsung Galaxy GT-i9500 clone, but it has lots of problems, like the sms(mine appear all on bottom and the other person all on top witch is really annoying), the settings(some dont even open), the wi-fi(it says memorized but it doesnt seem to connect, when i hit connect nothing happens).

On the AnTuTu Tester app that the phone brought this is what it reads:

S4 clone help !!!!!!!

I could really use some help on this one. I have read and read and read on sc6820, MTK6517 and more . If you check

my other post that was the problem I was having, now I'm trying to just figure out what is what and what rom/roms I can use and how.

(And for anyone stuck in the same problem I had, this may not work for you but just out of dumb luck, I reconnected my device to

the computer, opened VRoot, clicked on reroot and lo and behold the china launcher came up. If you push the square box with 4

smaller boxes in it at the bottom middle, it should give you a list of apps you have installed. Hopefully one was a different launcher. Reinstall it, restart your phone, choose that launcher as your default and BAMMMM your good as gold.)

Here are the best specs I can give you, unless you can run me through the uncle???.apk I do have It installed.

[HTC One S] boots77:
I wanted to add more info..

I've tried about 5 RUU's so far with no luck.

Can anyone answer - are these controlled via Kernel or Radio.

I've update everything, so i'm not quite sure where to go from here.

I am now on TrickDroid 9.0. Ive enabled the on screen navigation but would like to get the capacitative buttons working.

It is also possible these are seperate issues.

Any suggestions on the Camera?

Any on the buttons?

Any for both?
[HTC One S] Giston141:
I know it doesn't sound like a likely fix, but hold your hand/palm over the top of the phone, covering the earpiece, front camera, everything, for 10 seconds and see if the lights come on, also make sure you're not in power save mode.

My capacitative lights didn't work either until I did this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sanju83:
so the problem is pretty self explanatory if you read the title. I keep losing my 4g when i switch to a custom rom. Specifically a custom 4.2.2 rom like

slimrom

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2277770

or

paranoidandroid

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2118370

both of them say that they support 4g but when i go and install them i lose my 4g and my 3g is spotty sometimes.

I live in an area with a strong 4g signal and used to drive to and from work with 4g on all the time. Now i have 3g and it goes out sometimes.

So than i am left having to reinstall stock with

[ROM][RESTORE][5-12-13]Back to UNROOTED Stock with Auto Flash Count Reset

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2086769

with the root.zip so i can have superuser and than install TWRP with goomanager so i can get my custom recovery back.

If i dont restore my phone back to stock with all that comes in that custom zip i wont get my 4g back even if i clear out slimroms and just install a stock 4.1.2 rom.

so what am i doing wrong?!

It would also be a great bonus to me if someone can also explain to me why i dont get MMS in any of the 4.2.2 roms as well.

What i have tried so far...

1. I have tried using "pimp my rom" to get to the hidden menu and that didnt work

2. i have my msl and tried to mess about with ##3282# using this little tutorial and it didnt work

3. I have reinstalled just a plain stock rom (not listed above) after backing up a custom 4.2.2 rom with nandroid and resetting the network mode back to lte/cdma from automatic and than restored the 4.2.2 rom. That didnt work

I would like a SOLID, DEFINITIVE, CONCRETE answer on what is going wrong and how to fix this problem please.

Nice rant. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=42978776

A little reading goes a long way. In case clicking is too much effort I'll summarize. A recent change to CM 10.1, the base for all of our 4.2.2 Roms, broke 4g. they are looking into it. You can locate a nightly before 5/28 or stick with TW if it is a deal breaker. Have a nice day :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sanju83:
even though your answer is packed with sarcasm ill still accept it. thx for your help. I dont read that thread as i have no interest in nightlies because i want a daily driver. I didnt know that they use nightlies to make the custom roms. i thought it was just stable CM10.1 only. Anyways thx again.

[General Questions and Answers] anoopgkris:
hi folks,

Need information on how to load CM 10.1 Android 4.2.2 on my Samsung Galaxy S Plus.

Currently i have the CM 10 Beta 4 (JB 4.1.2) installed. Current recovery is Recovery-clockwork-5.5.0.4-ariesve.

I've downloaded these files.

cm-10.1-20130622-dev_connection_team-release2-ariesve.zip

DevCon-gapps-jb-20130622-signed.zip

cwm6032-Build2-ariesve-alireza7991.zip

Kernel_JB-4.2.2_3.4_20130622_Google-4.6_Stock_Signed.zip

When i checked the AriesDevCon team's link and XDA Wiki Samsung SGS+ link there was some confusion.

The Wiki link doesn't say anything about the recovery installation. Should i use Odin to install the CWM6032 or just put it in the SD card and reboot into recovery? I'd used Odin for the 5.5.0.4 recovery.

From the XDA forums on recovery (alireza7991's) saw that i could use Odin to install the recovery first.

Also, what do i do with the 3.4 kernel ? Should i load that too in the SD card before recovery mode for the installation?

My current kernel is 3.0.70.

Could someone with the proper knowledge please guide ? And please provide the exact steps and the files needed.

I've done the CM 10.1 already and it worked pretty well, but was not able to do any upgrade later (to release 2.5 etc). Had my phone soft-bricked two times and had to install the stock Gingerbread ROM to come back to JB 4.1.2 ROM.

regards,

Anoop

The files you got are .ZIP files.

It should be possible to flash these using the recovery. I have To check back for further instructions cause i'm not familiar with the s+ but cwm should be installed automatically when the kernel has be installed.

Hey dude...u must wipe data,dalvik....maybe it can help u...
[General Questions and Answers] H3llwar:
You have to wipe data and cache, wiping dalvik cache is useless.
[General Questions and Answers] jabrif:
It is not necessary to install recovery before every ROM installation. CWM 5.5.0.4 is a stable and safe recovery for our device.

According to the kernel i recommend you to use K^Kernal 3.4.x. It is more battery friendly with good performance.

The procedure is as explained in there

1. Boot in to recovery and

2. flash CWM 6.0.3.2 (if you want to, otherwise skip this) and reboot in to recovery.

3.Wipe data(not necessary when you are coming from a previous build of the same ROM, but recommended), wipe cache, and wipe dalvic cache

4. Flash ROM, Flash Gapps and flash kernel and reboot,

You are done.!

[SOLVED] How to install CyanogenMod 10.1 on my Samsung Galaxy S Plus

Hey folks,

Thanks to all of you for the kind advises!

In fact, i checked for any reply one hour after posting my question and only H3llwar's one reply was visible.

Was too impatient and thought to go ahead with the Modding. :p

First tried to flash the latest recovery cwm-emmcbrickedpatch-ariesve-6.0.3.2-alireza7991.img using Odin.

This one stuck at one stage (<1> recovery.img download) and didn't move further. So disconnected the USB and removed the battery (I forgot though in what sequence). I expected this to happen since it had happened two times before when trying to flash a non-tar recovery. Also I expected my phone to be soft-bricked, but luckily it did'nt. :good:

Then went through some more info on XDA and other forums and found a WORKED.rar solution.

from http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=30015714&postcount=22

Used that AriesVE.ops version and the recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.0-ariesve.tar.md5 and was able to flash the new recovery.

The reason i flashed the new recovery is that because i always used to find on these forums to use a specific recovery for a specific ROM.

Anyway, then i loaded the CM 10.1 and Gapps into the SD card, set debugging mode on and restarted in Recovery mode.

Then backed up data (Nandroid). Then wiped data/factory reset and wiped cache partition.

Then asked recovery to install from zip card selecting the CM10.1 ROM followed by Gapps. These processes happened very fast this time.

Then rebooted and there it was, a new magenta Cyanogen footer logo along with with the Samsung logo.

Skipped the initial parts and went to the About Phone section with the Android 4.2.2 indication.

Was very happy to also see my Kernel updated to 3.4.49. Three days now on the new ROM and loving it, battery life improved by at least 5% (from the 4.1.2). But missing the 4.1.2 fonts for the clock etc. Although the other internal fonts are smoother and easier on the eye.

Pasting the info screenshot here.

You tried to flash .IMG recovery file via Odin. That won't work.! You need a .tar or .tar.md5 file to flash via odin.

Good battery life - CM 10.1

Hey Jabrief, thanks for the advise, I'll note it.

Until now, CM10.1 - 4.2.2 is running very smooth on my SGS+. Getting a very good battery life too. GPS is somewhat slow but maybe it's because odd the cloudy weather all the month.

Attaching a battery stats pic.

Got 32 hours and 40 mins on single charge.

About 16 mins of call, 45 mins of browsing in all.

It appears that many people are having random reboots that are caused by the modem on both Task's AOKP and on CM10.1. It seems to happen while GPS is active and there is audio playing.

At this point I'm not sure what role the ROM might play in the issue, if any. The ROM devs don't seem terribly interested in the issue, so I'm not sure what options there are for troubleshooting. I'm hoping if we can get some knowledgeable people involved in the discussion we can make some progress.

So is anyone NOT using one of the above ROM's having issues with this modem? Are there any workarounds (other than not using GPS)?

p.s. I've attached a last_kmsg from when I was on Task's AOKP that's pretty typical of what I'm seeing...

windows 7

MTP works

HBOOT-2.15(updated to the latest firmware with RUU)

rooted

s-off

unlocked

CWM 6.0.3.1

Found it

This issue seems to be caused by the incompatibility between the app "wechat" （AKA “weixin"， released by Chinese software company "tencent"） and CM10.1,especially if wechat is running. I uninstalled this app and USBMS works well now。

But I also found the USBMS's transfer speed is very low,it is even lower than MTP's,just got about 2MB/s.why?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MisT.:
Hi everyone,

I posted a few months back whether I should buy a Nex 4 or not. Now that I did, I have another Q.

With my old Galaxy S, i HAD to root and install ROMs cuz it was reaaaally slow. Now, with the Nex 4, it's super fast that I'm not even thinking about ROMing it any time soon. However, I was wondering about rooting it. Does rooting affect the speed? it made my GS faster. Will it do the same for the Nexus?

Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KNIGHT_of_NEVER:
Just rooting won't actually do anything but installing the right apps will. Of course if you overclock it it will get faster, but personally I underclock it to save battery. I'd say it is definitely worth rooting it. You never know you might feel like installing a ROM later so it can't hurt to root now. Basically everything rooting did to your GS it will do to your N4 but the nexus is already fast.
