[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] shibby123:
Ok so i know i am a newbie to this sort of thing but i wanted to wrap my head around everything and also specifically to my phone before i decide to do something and the results are permanent.

Firstly ill start off with saying im a Canadian Virgin Mobile customer and i just got the Galaxy S4 (SGH-i337m).

Ok so i want to root my device but i am confused about some of the basic concepts. I saw the tutorial video posted for my specific phone by the smoking android (link for those who havent seen it: youtube. com/watch?v=cI9r5dEcNo4) and i understand that the rooting process is fairly simple.

What i am confused about though is my options once i am a root user and if i ever chose to revert back to original. Lets say i went ahead and rooted my phone. Will i be able to software update through the updates that virgin sends me? also if i am able to then will i maintain root acess?

my second biggest question is lets say for whatever reason i want to go back to the way my phone is now, with the stock virgin firmware. is this possible? and with no trace of the root before (is this the same as achieving original status instead of a custom one)? i know that you can remove the root and then reset the binary counter but im not too sure how all of this works, its a lot to take in at once.

im just trying to clear things up and yes i am quite new to all this (got my s4 yesterday) but i am a quick learner and im just trying to get a grip on everything.

thanks in advance for bearing with me

ok so i read the threads an i understand a lot more now. It seems to me like i have the ability to easily root and then go back to the stock firmware if i please with no consequences. i just have to flash the with the correct rom [and modem?] to put it back to stock and everything should work fine.

i hope i have this straight
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] AxAtAx:
Why modem? is that really necessary, I think you mean kernel.

if you flash back to stock, modem and kernel will be included.

Have you tried this thread also? you do have a i337m

flash the latest at&t official firmware via heimdall
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] shibby123:
so if i just flash to that stock firmware in the link you gave me everything will be back to normal? how would i achieve original and not "custom" status if i have to send the phone back to samsung. would i have to unroot then flash then reset the binary counter? would that be it and im back to the very original state i got my phone in?

1). I have searched on Google, and found a few sites stating ways to upgrade a21 to JB. But I wish to ask whether it's it really upgradable? Coz I didn't see any comments or threads on this topic.

2)) my phone is a dualsim phone. So it has two network symbols on the taskbar. Is it possible to remove one of the symbols as I use only one sim?? How??

Thanks

(If this thread seems repetitive , then mod can give me the link to the other thread and close this one, just in case:))

Hello?
[Android General] rahulsinha:
Hi.. I am also an A21 user. There is no official Jelly Bean Upgrade available for this model, most of them are just modifying the rom & appearance to make it look like jelly bean, thats it.

I am myself using the Rooted Stock Rom because all the custom ROMS have some or the other bug.

The icon for 2nd sim can be removed but you would have to ask some custom rom developer to do that for you. ;)

Okay, my fiance and I have the N8010 and N8013 respectively.

Photoshop touch is decent to work with, but she needs something a bit....more.

I have read through the discussions about porting Win 8 to our tablets, but haven't seen anything recent or conclusive on it.

Is there any way to get a full version of Photoshop on the tablets? I am not afraid of rooting or sideloading, so long as it get my fiance what she wants out of it. (She bought hers because of the Wacom Digitizer and advertised photoshop capability, and was disappointed with the lack of features)

Let's get started!

What you're going to need!(IMPORTANT!)

1. SU

2. Busy Box

3. A Way To Side Load

4. Knowledge Of Permission Setting

& Root Permissions

5. Root Explorer

If you're familiar with setting permissions via. Root Explorer that's a plus!

I'm sorry, but as I don't get on the computer much. I can't provide permissions to set and I'll tell you the usual.

Everything here can be found with a simple Google search.

Are you a noob?

Well, I can tell you that this procedure is very easy and something easy to remember.

Google a search on; "What Permissions To Set On Root Explorer In System" or something among those lines, as we will need to install .apk's that way!

Assuming you understand what to do, let's figure out what player you'd like to use.

I, being one to have large libraries of music tend to use PlayerPro, I recommend Google Music/Google Play Music.

Let's pull more strings! Pull the app off the net or if you own the app, extract it onto a side load app you trust.

Once done, proceed to Root Explorer with knowing you have the app on the Ouya itself, once you see it use the Copy Paste method and place it in the System Apps(can be easily found from Main Directory), once you've established this, now is where permission settings come into play.

You should be able to remotely click the bottom "..." Using the D-Pad or the Touch Pad. This is where Copy And Paste should be.

If you've gotten through this and everything is set up proper, the next step is to reboot the console itself, do a full reboot to prevent any confusion and risk not seeing/having the player working.

If you've done this correctly, once you go to view your apps, you should see your app installed and ready to go.

NOTE: And yes, I mean note! Do not try this with the side load procedure and expect it to work, people have attempted this and either 1. See force closes, 2. The app is not loading, 3. The app is there but will not open and doesn't truly seem to be installed.

SIDE NOTE: This can be done with both ADB and my procedure.

If this was useful to you, I can only ask of a favor!

You also need googleloginservice.apk and googleservicesframework.apk otherwise you cannot sign into your google account to sync your library.

Also i would have classed this thread as general and not development.
[Ouya Android Development] DivinityCycle:
MODS This just clickbait SPAM BS.

The title is vague on purpose, and the thread is basically saying "Hey bro, if you want a music app on your Ouya, just sideload that ****! OH WOW!"

However, like dully79 said, the only main reason to use the official Google Music app is to use the Google Music service and stream your library from the cloud. However, this is impossible without Google Services, which is not present in the stock Ouya ROM and isn't in any 3rd party ROM out yet, either. So basically, you can't do what he says you can do by doing what he says to do.

This is clearly intended to get people to try and go to his stupid YouTube channel, which he links to at the end.

How about you get traffic and views by having good content on your channel, instead of polluting this forum with useless bull****?
[Ouya Android Development] Ouya-XD:
Please be respectful of my threads.

No, I do not have my channel setup at the end to spam boards, it's just a simple thanks if you enjoyed my tutorial.

I don't intend to spam people, nor do I try and grab traffic.

I am simply trying to help others understand a method, if you disagree, I'd be more than happy to remove my channel link with a simple request, and also a request that you not bash my threads as I'm only here for assistance and spend my time happily making ROMs and doing other things.

I will not criticize you unless you doing do the same, it's disrespectful to me that you try and hurt my progress and tuts I post as users may not know how.

If I were simply begging for something I'd spend my time in General Forums where people generally go to do that sort of thing.

Lastly, if you've got nothing nice to say, don't say it and just avoid wasting your time coming through a place where people go to help, not get help with a channel.

I'm disappointed to know that someone would go as far as to make a whole post bashing on what I do to help the community, and I will have this brought to the mods and discussed with them in order to better our area without someone posting the same in all threads.

My last words are, thank you for those of you who actually know I try to help and who simply understand that if I were to spam you'd seed traffic from my post everywhere. I love you all, and appreciate you not going this far to bash me.
[Ouya Android Development] Ouya-XD:
To leave my feedback on a clearer note. YES! Yes you can listen to music from a storage device as long as the device is read as a USB Mount! This has been confirmed by others in the official Ouya Forums!

Google Play Music is for cloud streaming. And for any other read device!
[Ouya Android Development] Ouya-XD:
Oops, my bad man, all credit goes to you if I took your method.

People cry a out signatures, there's no need for one! I love my community and will stand up for it!
[Ouya Android Development] DivinityCycle:
This thread was your fourth post on XDA, at least on that account.

It is not actually a Development post and contains basically nothing that anyone in the Dev section wouldn't already know ("Hey bro, if you want to put an app onto your system you can copy & paste it into /system/apps! This makes it a system app! Oh wow!")

Then you link to your YouTube channel and ask people to go to it.

All of these things together made you seem like a SPAMmer. If you're not, sorry about that, but your post is still in the wrong forum and doesn't actual contain useful or new information. The fact that a much better thread explaining how to do what you posted about exists (in the correct forum no less) is just icing on the cake.
[Ouya Android Development] Ouya-XD:
That's fine, I just didn't want you to take me as a spammer, I didn't intend to.

I didn't know where to post this at that.

I've got multiple things done that people are still asking about and I was just trying to knock this one out of the way.

People cry about signatures, there's no need for one! I love my community and will stand up for it!

Also poor wifi signal and range

Mine's been rock-solid.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fergiet:
Just got mine today in the uk (32 gb Ver) and it's a great little tablet. But I noticed the wifi drops out on a random basis, very strange. I will phone the supplier tomorrow and see if it has been a reported issue. May just ask them to swap it out.

:confused:

Ok, replacement arrived today. Wifi seems better but still drops out now and then. If tablet powered down and restarted the wifi fails to come on. I need to go to settings/wifi and click on my network, then it's ok.

All very strange. Loath to RMA again as it's a pain.

By the way the UK version is 32gb but costs a lot more than the US one, same model number.

:confused:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trekker56:
Really? 8gb vs 32gb is a huge difference. Are there any other changes in the UK version? Does it still have a sd card slot?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] someguyatx:
Are you guys sure its not the router? If you are looking for a cheap replacement router I'm having good luck with a cheap TP-Link N300 router. Works great with all random wifi devices in the house.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fergiet:
As far as I can tell it's the same tablet as the US one (same model #) but has 32gb internal. Still has a micro sd card slot so mine has 64gb in total. But it is a lot more expensive ! The UK price is £139 and that's about $215. Your price has dropped to $129. No sign of a price drop here yet.

Starting to think it is a router issue and not just the tablet. Played around with the router security settings, changed the passphrase etc and this morning (touch wood) it has been rock solid on wifi. It's just odd that no other connected device has had an issue with our router.

:confused:

Guys

I am wondering if anyone knows if Samsung has MCC/MNC whitelist in these phones limiting to these networks only (Like Apple do)? I have the issue where we are building a private LTE network and it seems that this phone does not want to accept our MCC.MNC. I have the international version so it's definitely not network locked and i have tried a few of the main operator SIM cards and it works. I have read all the other related thread on the subject but found no answers.

So does anyone know if Samsung is doing this and is there a way to change this list in the phone if it exists?

You need any ics modem. I like fl24. And to flash your Rom get the el26 kernel. Get the tar version. Flash that in Odin. It's important to download your Rom before you flash the kernel because you won't be able to boot.
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
As title states. I know I could have added this to the games/apps section, and if this should go there can a mod please move this.

I have been playing a lot online lately, especially now that in conjunction with App Quarantine:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ramdroid.appquarantine&hl=en

I get around 45-49fps (frames per second, not FPS...lol)

I literally use this app every time, kill all apps excpet about 4, MC4, Smart Launchr and any widgets as killing them will mean you have to redo the widgets.

Anyways, I was playing and noticed I was playing against some clan players, or so it seemed. Got me thinking maybe we should start an Xperia PLAY clan on MC4. I haven't started one yet but thought it would be fun to open up the title to the community and let everyone decide on a suitable name for this said clan of XP only.

And also in addition we can share our usernames on MC4 so we can meet up and play online and or add users as friends.

My username online in all GameLoft games is jgregoryj1. Everyone is welcome to add me. I am literally online about an hour each night before I go to sleep... nothing like shooting someone in the face prior to a good nights rest.

Anyways, again everyone think of a name and perhaps I can turn this into a poll once we have a few names that people agree upon. Perhaps maybe a title that says we are old, but still kicking a$$ (meaning phone is old but still has its perks).

Now its up to everyone to come up with a name.

Again everyone is welcome to add me:
