Start out slow with a custom launcher like Nova Prime and then read up on rooting and flashing, once you feel comfortable, flash the GE rom and enjoy the AOSP feel.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdisR:
I recommend Nova Launcher if you don't know about flashing Custom ROMs. otherwise Jamal did a pretty good job at his 4.2.2 GE ROM for the i9505.:D

[Hardware Hacking General] icecore:
hey guy, i have a strange question but i bet with some guy that more PPI dependence by CPU strength and screen resolution, or not(??).

what i said that's more power of CPU, then more PPI u can get.(ofcourse the bet is about the Adreno 300)

can you explain me about that more if im right or not? :cyclops:
[Hardware Hacking General] MemoryController:
PPI is about the screen, how the screen is manufactured. Dimensions in pixels is dependent of processing power,CPU if software rasterizing, CPU+GPU if hardware rasterizer.

So a phone with 1080p and 300ppi performs the same as a phone with 1080p and 1000ppi
[Hardware Hacking General] showlyshah:
i think that its not ppi, but resolution is the blood sucker. more resolution, more details,more computing power. which demands greater cpu and gpu powers. and let me clear, large screen size does not necessarily mean greater resolutions. compare s4/z/one with some other devices like grand/mega etc.

also if a device have good resolution and better screen it should use more ppi, which in turn supports ur argument.
[Hardware Hacking General] Product F(RED):
PPI stands for pixels-per-inch.

Pixels per inch is not the number of pixels; it's how crammed they are together. Resolution is the number of pixels.

For example, even though the Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 have the same resolution screen (ignore the fact that the S3's is pentile), the Galaxy S3 has a higher PPI because it has the pixels crammed into a smaller screen size (4.7 inch vs 5.5 inch). If the Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 had the same processor, RAM, etc, and only the screen size was different, they would perform identically. They both have the same amount of pixels, but the Galaxy S3 screen looks sharper because the screen is smaller.

What strains the processor is a higher resolution, not directly a high PPI. It's the same thing with a computer; if I run Crysis at 640 x 480 (the lowest possible resolution), I'll probably get an amazing frame rate (smoothness) even though the picture will look like crap. Why? The processor and graphics card have to process less pixels to display on the screen. Now, if I ran the game at 1080p, the frame rate would suffer dramatically, but the picture quality would look amazing. The processor and graphics card now have a LOT more to display on the screen. That's the gist of it.

People im looking to buy a 64 gb mem card for the s4 but would a Micro SD XC type work or just a micro sd?

Also should i be wary when buying from ebay or just get it from amazon for a couple quid more??

Based in the UK - if that helps

cheers, all
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] jason_son:
Yes Micro SDXC will work on the galaxy s4, it has somekind of extension which i forget what is it. If u want u can change or reformat the extension to fat32 so your s4 can read it..
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] bm_99:
ok mate, so when i get the card i need to format it to fat 32, can i do this from the s4?/ or do i need to put the car into a pc or laptop or something?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] alphadog00:
Do not buy off ebay. Lots of counterfeit and scam products. Buy somewhere that you can be sure of what you are getting. Also, some people are reporting problems with SanDisk - mine works fine, but there are enough reports that maybe the new ones have issues.

I am not sure what format the phone puts on the card. But most of the time you can just pop it in the phone and use it. If the phone doesn't recognize it, it will ask you to format. Exfat has the advantage of working with files bigger then 2GB, but unless you are copying movies (that have not been resized) then this should not be an issue. Most phones do NOT support exFat, but unless you are swapping the card between devices, this should not be an issue either.

So, I would just pop the card in the phone and start using it. If you don't usually remove it, you could format it on the phone first, just for kicks (I never do unless it asks me) and you should be good to go. Windows handles Fat32 and ExFat, so there is no real issue with the computer.

HTH!

i had issues with a sandisk 64gb microsd on 2 different s4's. these were purchased from Amazon so they were legit.

switched to a samsung microsd 64gb, also bought via amazon, and it just plain works. and is faster on the phone - mounting or unmounting happens instantly. the sandisk took time. etc...

today ive got samsung microsd 64g, confirm is working great in exfatmode. My phone formatated in exFAT

I'm looking to get a translucent status bar on the homescreen, using Go Launcher.

Am rooted, but don't seem to be able to find any mods that can do it? Preferably would like to be able to choose %wise how translucent it is.

Here is an example from the HTC One showing it, and on my S4 lockscreen it does it. But would like it on the home screen too. When i'm in apps its fine to remain black.

Anyone know?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] mattdm:
I'm pretty sure the launcher has to support statusbar transparency, and I don't know if Go Launcher does or not. Go Launcher sucks anyway; use Nova instead. :)
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] jeremy_inc:
Ah is it just part of the launcher, that makes sense then. I'll give Nova a try.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] mattdm:
Well, technically, it's not part of the launcher...it's still part of the rom's system UI. But the launcher has a bit of control, and can enable or disable the transparency. When the launcher doesn't support transparency, the rom views that as "disabling" it, and the statusbar is opaque. But you get the idea. ;)

EDIT: Wait, hold the phone. What rom are you running?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] cseilern:
I am using SPB's GPRS traffic counter and have noticed that without my doing anything, my Jam will download around 100k of data every day (around £0.25 on Vodafone). I can just about survive the financial shock ;-) but I am more worried to know how control connections in general.

Does anyone know what programs on the Jam keep a GPRS connection alive? (I am not using MS Messenger, nor do I have either MS Explorer, the e-mail application or Activesync runnig in the background).

cheers.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] bnycastro:
I see that you have checked the usual suspects :) how about MMS this uses GPRS as well maybe you received some? The application you mention (SPB GPRS Monitor) does not tell you which application uses GPRS?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] cseilern:
unfortunately is not the mms client - I stopped its installation after a hard reset.

I even go as far as killing off the messaging app and internet explorer with the memory control panel to make sure they don't accidentally run in the background.

my guess is a leaky tcp/ip stack, but i'm still looking for ways of controlling outgoing packets...
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] plandregan:
I too have the same Issue. Orange billed me for 2.5MB of data. I aint used the darn thing for GPRS.

Alternetives for SPB GPRS Monitor !?

Does anyone have any alternetives for SPB GPRS Monitor. This program makes the OS on my i-mate JAM very unstabele. So I had to remove this program.

Thanks for your help and kind regards,

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] fishmedia:
I NEVER leave GPRS connected. I always 're-connect and cancel' to drop my connection after getting email headers ....

However....

one day, in one session at 12noon I racked up £17 with 02. They can not explain it and I was sitting at my desk at work with the XDA docked at the time!!! (with internet pass through if needed!)

This is worse than premium rate calls (which are closely monitored) ... all 02 can say is that at 12noon I downloaded over 7mb !! end of story! no more details. I don't know how it is possible unless it connected to their stupid movie portal and downloaded a massive trailer on it's own? - which I would of noticed!

Well I have a complaint in with them. Just think how many people could get stung (and I know what i'm doing!)

I'm now going to try the above mentioned GPRS counter, but has anyone tried this one ? .... http://www.all-locations.com/ GPRS Traffic Counter v3.2

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] KarlKognition:
I am using the Unofficial ParanoidAndroid 3.00 and had previously tried Touchwiz UX Nature Jelly bean ROMs. In both I was unable to change to change the preferred network from GSM/WCDMA to LTE/GSM/WCDMA in both settings and using *#*#INFO#*#* and have it stick.

I on Virgin Mobile in Australia though. I've had 4G activated on my network account, have the correct APNs, and can confirm that I get a 4G signal when using the Borked ROM 3.7. That ROM works perfectly for me, but it isn't Jellybean and so there are too many features missing, and it looks ugly.

I've also checked the build.prop file and find all the settings are correct.

Code:

ro.config.lte=1

telephony.lteOnGsmDevice=1

ro.telephony.default_network=9

ro.ril.def.preferred.network=9

I have noticed in *#*#INFO#*#* when I set it to LTE Only and the reception goes to zero the Current Network says Telstra Mobile instead of Optus Mobile as it should for 4G Virgin Mobile Customers.

Could be something to do with the APN not being recognised as LTE capable somewhere?

Could it be something to do with the radio? The ROM that worked used a .19L, whereas the PA ROMs use .22L.

I have tried reflashing the ROM (wipe cache/dalvik, flash). I have tried using 4G from a clean flash.

I have run out of ideas @_@ And now starting to wish I saved that money for the One X or stayed with my super reliable Incredible S which even has a super fantasmagorical and stable JB 4.2.2! [MENTION=529326]_____[/MENTION]@*
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] KarlKognition:
Fixed. The sim card must be 4G LTE compatible. My sim card was from before 4G was released. New sim card -> 4G LTE reception.

"Endless conversations is a new form of social networking that allows you to converse about anything you like with anyone in the world who has the app. Pick a category and start chatting and anyone can join in and post a response to the conversation. The conversation is endless so there is no limit on how much to write or what to talk about. You can also respond to one specific individual if you want to get deep in the response he/she posted. You can share photos within the post too."

Actually it sounds like a good idea. So just to make sure I understand u right, if I wanted to talk about my favorite sports team or even shower curtains I can start a topic of some sort or pose a question and whoever wants to respond to me can do so? It sounds somewhat familiar. I think the iPhone appstore had a similar app of some sort a while back but apple pulled it for some reason. I could be wrong on that but the premise does sound familiar. I'm gonna give it a shot. I'll post back my impressions if ur interested.

[HTC Droid DNA] Krispenwah:
It's a tad lonely in there right now. Looks like ill literally have the very first post regardless of topic. But hey, if it ever catches on and becomes a household app, I can say I was the first person to ever start a discussion. I do like the idea though. One thing I did notice is that it lacks a miscellaneous category if u want to discuss something that's sorta out of the ordinary or 'out there'. What if I wanna talk about wheat bread crust or maybe the chupacabra?? Just a suggestion. Maybe u can add a miscellaneous category in a future update

Hi people,

I started customizing my One and I tried to superCID (which didn't work, I guess you need to be S-off for that) but now my bootloader shows as tampered so to get rid of that I tried to get revone installed and it was then when I realized that I might not be rooted.

Anyway, I managed to push SuperUser with the all in one kit and then install it from TWRP and got a successful message but then when I reboot I can't find it in my app drawer.

As far as I remember with my Amaze SuperUser was there but I don't find it in the One.

Can somebody shine some light as where to go from here????

Thanks in advance,

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenPope:
What are you trying to acheive?

Do you want a rooted stock ROM?

In that case, use revone to unlock:

./revone -P

reboot

./revone -u

And then you need custom recovery and flash the superuser zip.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArmedandDangerous:
Revone doesn't require root :) Also you can just flash the SU zip in recovery. I myself prefer SuperSU over SU.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] spydc:
I'm having a major issue with my phone. I installed TWRP version ending .2 and been using roms with no issues. I also never had an issue with my GS3 in the past. In any event, I recently tried to install the FREEGS4 rom and it initially loads fine. However, when I rebooted, it froze at the Samsung Galaxy S4 logo screen. I tried formating data and reflash rom. It flashes fine and loads fine initially.. but when I reboot, it freezes at logo screen. I tried to flash another custom MDL rom and it loads fine initially but freezes at reboot.

I tried to ODIN back to stock MDC. It flashes fine but when it auto reboots, it freezes at Samsung Galaxy S4 logo screen. I tried to ODIN back to stock with MDL rom. Same issue.. The only way I can get the OS to load is if I install TWRP and I do a quick flash of a ROM. It will intially load the ROM fine but if I power off or reboot the phone, it will freeze on the Samsung Galaxy S4 Logo screen.

Does anyone what could be causing this and any recommendations on how to fix it?
