[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] NoobDude:
After some testing my results both good and bad. My phone doesn't feel any faster and my benchmark was below the s4 standard, however my download speeds are incredible! I was able to download a 50mb app in well under 10 seconds on Wi-Fi, before the flash it would have taken about a minute. So I'm very pleased so far. Thanks op for sharing!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] CyberManiaK:
under developer options try reducing windows animation, transition scale, animator duration stock is 1x reduce that to .5 and you will feel it very fast..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] NoobDude:
I didn't flash over the stock ROM, I'm pretty sure I read that'll brick your phone guaranteed. If I understand correctly, the whole purpose or reason safestrap works is because it creates a position so you don't touch your stock system at all. It's like dual voting a second operating system onto the other partitions and running off that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] CyberManiaK:
And you are correct MF3 can be messed up very easy.. but damn I really want to try this mod on the stock one.. but can't figure out how to manually install this and see what happen instead of flashing..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] NoobDude:
This definitely helped, I set all to off. Here are my results.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] CyberManiaK:
Cool.. !!

Now I'm trying to find some info on how to minimize the battery impact. if you find something share it.

Cheers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] NoobDude:
It's my understanding that this mod will increase battery life as well. I can't say for sure if it has for me or not, I flashed safestrap and a Rom only about an hour before this mod. But if I read anything I'll pass it along.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] xreflection:
Thats why yours didn't say i337. I19505 is actually the international version. A lot of the time your phone model in the OS will be dependent on the ROM you are running and what it as originally based off of. Really, its more an aesthetics thing more than anything. Doesn't change what your phone actually is lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] NoobDude:
Just a heads up, after a days use i can honestly say my battery life has gone up exponentially! VERY pleased, and I highly recommend this mod!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] CyberManiaK:
Mind posting screenshot of overall usage and screen on please..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] NoobDude:
Screen on? I hope this helps, if not be a little more specific and I'd be happy to oblige.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] CyberManiaK:
Yeah if you tap where it says screen you will see the actual screen ON time.. Also if you tap the graph it shows another usefull screen.. it will be nice to see some when you battery is around 15% - 20%

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] viperguy212:
Tried it last night on a fresh 4.4 GE build...not a fan. Like the other user said I find these things don't work super well in this caliber of phone. Lower level devices sure, on my S4 no cigar. Biggest components of performance I've always found were the Rom and Kernel.

But thanks for the link anyway!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Braxton355:
I'm using an HTC one and my previous device was an s4 and it worked great on both and I'm using 4.4.2 and on my S4 I was using 4.3 but it still made a huge difference to me. Sorry it didn't work for you though.

I have had the s2 and now have the s4...I have rooted the s2 and tried many ROMS...but I am not touching the s4...I don't see any benefit to rooting...also I have the 7500mah extended battery and usually get 3 days of battery life...I'm just waiting for the kit kat update and my phone will be amazing...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Braxton355:
There is a benefit to rooting. If you rooted your phone you wouldn't be waiting for a kitkat update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] sifuentes2013:
I want the stock update and not some rom someone created from a kernel...at least that way I know if I update through ota with stock rom I wont brick my phone or do other damage to the device
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] donelam304:
I would never say that a stool ck update from your carrier will never mess up your phone. I had the Motorola bionic and when they finally rolled out an update for us, it bricked a bunch of phones. And yes, at the time I was stock and not rooted.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] GrapeBandit:
anyone know if this is KitKat compatible?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] spirodave:
the benefit of rooting your d3evice is so you dont have to wait for updates like kitkat and among 1 million other things .. If you dont know the benefit of rooting your device then you dont even know what rooting is and probably should stay clear of this website because it will be pretty useless to you .. samsung .com might be better for you .. You can get help from tech support ..LOL and bother them to death to find out when your OTA update is becoming available

I have a new problem with ActiveSync.

When i connect my cradle to the laptop (via usb) activesync connects to the device, i hear the nice connected sound from my speakers and the green activesync wheel starts turning while it displays a "looking for changes" message...

My device shows that its connected via activesync and the tray icon is visible.

After a few seconds, i hear the disconnect sound, Activesync disconnects and the tray icon on my ppc disappears. However the wheel in Activesync remains turning for a while and then it also stops, becomes grey and it says "not connected".

This happens whether i connect via usb or bluetooth. in both cases it connects adn then disconnects. i have removed the partnership, uninstalled activesync on my PC and reinstalled it and recreated the partnership but still nothing doing.

I hate ActiveSync...

Could I trouble you for the size in bytes? Again, thanks for the help!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DrGit:
Anyone with a rooted SGS3 willing to do this? I don't know what got messed up or how - the guy who gave this phone to me just said it wouldn't reboot after one of the steps in the rooting process - but flashing that backup with qdload could be a good method of fixing bricked phones without JTAG!

In the spirit of sharing, if I manage to fix it, I'll be doing an Ubuntu "port" (building a bootloader/kernel for desktop Linux distros, not Ubuntu Touch), hopefully with Freedreno drivers too.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Sorry, couldn't get the size in bytes or else I would have posted that instead of the MB

Here's the output of dd

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DrGit:
It's supposed to be the first 70MB of the eMMC chip, containing the partition table, the 64MB firmware partition, the three bootloader stages, and aboot. Unless I gave the wrong command or you changed it, 70 bytes isn't going to be much help ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
I know, but that is the output, I was surprised as well ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DrGit:
I'm guessing the version of dd on your phone is a stripped down version that doesn't recognize suffixes.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
I know, but that is the output, I was surprised as well ;)

I miscalculated - it should have been 70.6MB - but I was able to find the aboot offset, so it's okay!

Huge thanks! Flashing now!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DrGit:
After the process failed for the umpteenth time, I concluded qdload only loads code into RAM and executes it - of course, in this case, it wasn't executing the backup. It seems I need an alternative method of accessing the eMMC.

The aboot/appsbl address I used was incorrect, so I still need to figure out where it's supposed to be loaded in RAM.

This doesn't appear to be common knowledge, unfortunately. Looks like I may have to JTAG it after all...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DrGit:
I am happy to eat those words! I was able to get CNexus's backup onto an SD card (fixing the rpm, tz, and boot.img partitions that weren't part of the backup) and it booted that with no trouble! I'm currently in download mode flashing a stock ROM! Yay!!!

Thanks CNexus for the eMMC dump! I'll be posting a fixed dd image for an SD card soon for anyone who wants it. No more JTAG!

Hardbricked ATT SG3

I've tried both the Ubuntu 12.04 process as well as the win32diskmanager to load the debrick image. Both have worked to get them on the sdcard but with no additional luck getting past the FLASH WRITE FAILURE FACTORY MODE.....QUALCOMM SECURE BOOT ENABLED screen. I realize this is the Sprint Forum for SG3 but this has been the best help given for this issue thus far. Before the hard brick to my ATT SG3 phone, I was at Firmware 4.1.2 rooted, Firmware ID: JZ054K, PDA: I747UCDMG2. I believe the bootloader had changed for this version? Does anyone have the bootloader for 4.1.2 and could this also be a reason why odin will not complete the update process? This is my last ditch effort before declaring my phone to be a 200 dollar paper weight! Thanks much:rolleyes:

Are you able to get into download mode? AFAIK the "SECURE BOOT ENABLED" screen is the download mode screen. From there you need to flash a stock image back to your phone. Can you explain your error a little more?
