Hey guys

I hope there isn't a thread already open about this...

My friends galaxy r has a broken scree and I was thinking about buying it from her.

What do you think is a reasonable price(in euros or us dollars please) considering it's 2 years old and the broken screen of course?

I found a screen replacement for 50 US$

Regards

sahivalue.com/buy site is giving our secondhand phone in 10k so buy from there cause broken scrreen costs 4-5k to repair!

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] edit28:
Google Maps/Navigation will force-close on me within a few minutes every time a navigation route is plotted. Sometimes after it FCs the navigation icon will remain in the status bar and will even re-connect on occasion, however usually it just kills the process. This has been a recurring issue for me throughout the last few ROMs I've been trying (both TW and non-TW). I should also mention that when Maps/Navigation is launched I always get a prompt for missing Voice Guidance, saying, "...you need to install text-to-speech support from Android Market" which takes me to the SpeechSynthesis Data Installer application. After installing it, the prompts disappear but Maps/Navigation still crashes within one minute of GPSing. Also, I have verified that the Pico TTS text-to-speech output is selected as the preferred engine (before installing SpeechSynthesis Data Installer, so not sure why that prompt is coming up every time on both TW and CM).

Here are the steps I have taken so far without success:

ATTEMPT 1

Wiped Dalvik/System/Data/Cache from within TWRP

Formatted Data from within TWRP

Flashed Slim 7, cleared cache/Dalvik

Flashed Slim Gapps, cleared cache/Dalvik

Reboot, let phone sit, reboot

Installed Maps (crashed within 1 minute)

ATTEMPT 2 ([*gps fix] alternate gps fix])

Ran [root] Triangle Away - reset flash counter to 0

Odin back to stock TW

Samsung service mode *#197328640#

Mainmenu>UMTS>Common>NV REBUILD>NV REBUILD

Waited 30 seconds, rebooted

Installed Maps (crashed within 1 minute)

ATTEMPT 3

Wiped Dalvik/System/Data/Cache from within TWRP

Formatted Data from within TWRP

Ran XquiziT_SuperWipe_SGH_T999 from TWRP

Rebooted back to TWRP

Wiped Dalvik/System/Data/Cache from within TWRP

Rebooted back to TWRP

Flashed LiquidSmooth v2.8, cleared cache/Dalvik

Flashed official Gapps, cleared cache/Dalvik

Reboot

Install Maps

Settings>App Info>Maps>Clear data and Clear cache

Maps crashed within 1 minute

ATTEMPT 4

Wiped Dalvik/System/Data/Cache from within TWRP

Formatted Data from within TWRP

Flashed Slim 7, cleared cache/Dalvik

Flashed Slim Gapps, cleared cache/Dalvik

Reboot

Install Maps

Settings>App Info>Maps>Clear data and Clear cache

Reboot to TWRP, fixed permissions

Reboot --> maps crashed within 1 minute

Additional assistance will be very much appreciated! Thanks so much, I rely on Maps quite a bit and this issue is annoying ><
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Sounds like you may be running out of memory? Try clearing in ram manager before opening maps.

In development options, check show cpu usage to watch for anything that happens everytime before it crashes. Also try the limit background processes options and see if it helps.

These are tw options, not sure if there are equivalents in cm
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] edit28:
According to cpu usage I should be fine, especially since trying Maps/Nav from a fresh TW/CM install shouldn't rock my RAM too hard >< Thanks though!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] edit28:
Update: I tried using a different navigation app (MapQuest Mobile) and it runs perfectly fine. This issue is tied directly to Google Maps and Navigation, perhaps involving the text-to-speech output. I attached my logcat for review. Thanks :highfive:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] edit28:
FINAL UPDATE: Google updated their Maps app and now everything runs perfectly fine. Problem solved :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] qman66:
this is still an issue for me after the new update
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] edit28:
I spoke too soon myself~ After running with it for a few days I can definitely report my issue persists as well. Still no solution in sight ><

EDIT: I ran across a solution that seems to work. Within Navigation, click the compass in the upper-right of the screen. This will keep the screen directions static, meaning north stays north, etc. This solved my issue after testing for 40+ minutes!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] RichardBronosky:
I found that static North mode helps, but it is still very unstable. I'm now having lots of other problems with my device. I would LOVE to know of a ROM and kernel combo that works with Google Maps. CM10 got so bad that I switched to SlimBean. I just need my device to be sufferable until I buy a Nexus 5 and NEVER buy another non-nexus device again. This is my 3rd Galaxy device and I have ended up in this state with everyone of them. (That's completely unsupported and unstable.)

In my experience...

At first I placed MAT... of course its a little bit rough and no fingerprints and oily things left on the screen...and much easier to see the screen under the sun...

Then I tried to use the CLEAR...(after 2 months) but sad to say... I'm having a hard time swiping my screen especially when my fingers a little bit "perspire".. and can't see under too much sunlight...

bu of course pictures on the screen got clearer he he he.....

will be going back to MAT again if I got one :)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] prstorero:
This is just a small thread i thought i would start and offer a few tips for theming apps on the S4.​

Q: How can i change backgrounds without having to modify the image inside of framework?

A: This is something i call "untying things from framework", which essentially means making the background pull locally (from the particular app you're working on) rather than getting it from framework. The way this is done is searching for backgrounds that have "android:background="@*android" Searching for this should help you find where the background is being pulled from.

Q: How can i untie everything from framework to have a standalone app theme that doesn't rely on including the 30mb+ of the framework?

A: The above can also be used in this situation. For a text color, you can search the same thing as above but replace the "background" with "textcolor". For an image, it's usually called by "android:background="@*android:drawable/". To get them called locally, remove the "@*android:" so that it becomes just "android:background="drawable/"

Q: When compiling, i get a list of errors so long that i can't see the top.

A: You're probably using the traditional apktool which can't display long enough errors to be able to see the original. When you have a long list of errors, don't fret. Usually if you just have one error, it will produce a crap ton of them. Just use a tool like apk-multi-tool and go to the very first error, fix it, then try compiling again. It can sometimes takes a few fixes to make it compile correctly.

Q: I get an error of a 9-patch image. What does that mean?

A: A 9-patch is a type of image that android uses to draw something on the screen, pretty much. It works by using a 1 pixel border of either pure black or transparent pixels/lines. If even on pixel on the border is messed up, it will throw out an error. The log will tell you which image it was and where to fix it. Just be careful when editing any image with a .9 in it.

I hope these general tips help some of you out :) I will add more tips to this if i think of any. If you would like to contribute any of your ideas, feel free to message me and i will include you :)​

FYI, just checked my phone for an update and it is now downloading the 357.38MB update. I am not rooted btw
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] xreflection:
Is this the apps to SD update? I think the sprint update was about 357MB.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] amhatter:
Just did this myself, any idea what it is? Wondering if this is the security patch?...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] its_dale:
still downloading. it took forever to "check for update". Some apps have updates (like Facebook) that give option to add the app to an SD card. This is probably what it is. Im a noob to android btw.. just letting people know an update is out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] AxAtAx:
I do not think this is wise, but I think the update is a patch that blocks the loki unlock the devs achieved. need to be careful with these updates as the devs have warned us about. I could be wrong here.

Oh well. let us know the outcome if you don't mind.

The Ax says that this is MY OPINION ONLY!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Aou:
You are correct - it's usually a good idea to hold off on taking any OTA updates before knowing what they do. To keep from getting OTA updates, use something like Titanium backup to freeze or otherwise disable three specific apps:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] its_dale:
Apps can now be moved to SD card.. i have a notification that says "Device Management- Connecting to DM server..." and its been like that for a good 5 mins. Wish i can help with more, but again, Im stock and new to android

Can confirm an update also
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mattpayne92:
I got an upgrade too and it started downloading when I checked but I quickly bought the titanium pro version to freeze the upgrade apps to stop the download until we know if this is some kind of security update
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] HiTideBlastoise:
Any other way to stop it? I'm not rooted, but been tempted too lately. If not, can't change what I've done so no worries.

I turned off my wifi and it interrupted the update and stopped downloading it. I am not updating till something is released about it.

DroidLife has some info on it

http://www.droid-life.com/2013/07/0...eed&utm_campaign=Feed:+DroidLife+(Droid+Life)

Mainly a update to KNOX.

Have to see if theres a modem update. If there is thats all thats important for me. And if they patched Loki.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] amhatter:
Talked to ATT, app2sd, audio clipping issue with headphones fix, removed a wallpaper and added 2 back, and some msging fix. I think there was a few other things as well, he said a security patch as well, but no real information on what.

I'll take the risk and attempt to download the patch without letting it install, and post its contents here. Wish me luck. :P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] scott14719:
Well, plenty of warning has been given about waiting to apply this update until it is cleared as safe, so if anyone decides to ignore the warnings, too bad. If it's safe, it'll be known soon enough. I'm just wondering how many other threads will be made about it...anyone taking bets?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] drsiddiqui1:
Anyone from AT&T get the update yet?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] HiTideBlastoise:
Yes
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Thermalwolf:
Yea I would definitely hold off on this update considering how long AT&T has had time now to play with it. Even an above post said the ATT rep said it was also a security update with no other info. Seems suspicious...

Be wise in your choices gentlemen; that's all I have to say :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] scott14719:
Has anybody tried flashing back to the AMDL modem after flashing to this one. I realize, in theory, it should work fine, but the reason I ask is because the service menu has been reported as not working on the new modem, so I wonder if it will still be disabled upon flashing back to the AMDL modem. Again, it seems that it should not be a problem, but I think people should be aware of the possibility.

---------- Post added at 09:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:21 PM ----------

you talking about the terminal?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] linuxthinker:
The goal of this package is to disable the update so that those who are ok with the older software can keep it. If they do nothing, the update will come and disable root until whenever someone figured out how to root the new update.

That said, those who have no need for root and don't see any short-term need for root (hopefully), then they don't need to do anything.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Gandalf:
Absolutely not. Google search on how to do this. But as an alternative, you can just flash CPA Poke's flashable zip in recovery, which will mitigate you needing to use any terminal commands.:good:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] :
Good idea it is not something to learn quickly. Took me quite awhile for adb/fastboot. Not quite as necessary as once was with more zips coming out. Without fastboot, that needs an unlocked bootloader, we are restricted anyway. Some will, and rightly so, say adb and fastboot are the safest ways to do this stuff though--:)

Need some hep with the update

I am somewhat of a noob with Android. I rooted the galaxy s4 with the moto method back in May. I downloaded the update from AT&T today, but the update failed, I assume because I am rooted. So I clicked the "Check for Updates" button again and it told me I am up to date and can't check again for 24 hours. I assume it won't let me update due to the root. So I attempted to unroot using the method described on the webpage I used to root, which gave me these instructions (I can't yet post outside links).

How to Unroot The Device:

Now lets unroot the device:

open ESFile Explorer

Grant Root permissions

click menu

Click Root Explorer on the left

Click Mount R/W

Check all the RW boxes and click OK

On the top of the app, click the / icon

navigate to System/xbin

delete busybox and SU

close ESFile Explorer

Go to System setings

Click the More tab

Click Applications and uninstall SuperSU

Now reboot the device twice and you should have a 100% clean system and be fully unrooted

Anyway, I appear to be unrooted after deleted Busybox and SU from the bin folder. Will I be able to update in 24 hours then? Also, is the update I downloaded on the phone somewhere that I can just run it now?

Thanks

Actually. Before I flash this...Can I flash back to MDL modem (I have the zip) if there's a issue? And would I be able to use the Odim image for the entire MDL to restore and get the MDL modem back? With the talk of OTA'ers not being able to Odin back to MDL I am a bit scared.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] :
didn't think just root would stop it. OTA would have unrooted you. Are you on stock rom and all your system apps are as they were when phone bought. OTA checks a number of apps etc. Change you clock to 24 hrs from now. But, why do this anyway--?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Aou:
Whew, amazing what's happened in the last couple hours on this thread. I've been out back seeding my new lawn. >_<

It appears that you all are having good luck with the MF3 modem. Excellent! Also, thank you, CPA, for converting that into a flashable .zip.

To answer some of the questions I saw:

I had no problems reverting back to MDL after updating my modem to MF3. Just adjust the command to reflect the other modem.

If you want to be sure you are using the MDL NON-HLOS.bin, just use a command like this

dd if=/sdcard/NON-HLOS-MDL.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1

AFAIK, these modems are ONLY for AT&T. I mean, you're certainly welcome to try them elsewhere, but be ready to fix a soft-brick if you do.

Thanks to the guinea pigs that tried it first. Helps with confidence for those that are not as crazy as we are (self included).

In theory, yes, we could get better reception. Could be worse, though. It's worth testing, and it's very easy to revert back, so long as you're rooted of course. Again, just tweak the dd command to tell it to flash the MDL instead. I think scott's answer was pretty complete.

There's some points on page 1 or 2 of this thread that show you which items to freeze.

I'm not a Dev, but I am working on a "neutered" and flashable version of the OTA update. Stay tuned.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mocsab:
I don't recall exactly where I saw this - I think it was deep in the original motochopper thread - but there is a pretty easy way to unroot - it involves uninstalling Superuser ap - and deleting the SU file (which I think is in system/xbin or something like that - do a google search on how to unroot Galaxy S4 and you should find something. It can be done - I did it before taking a phone I needed to replace back to att - no problem doing it.

I am more curious about how well the new modem works - and what benefits it might offer? Has anyone flashed and speed tested it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] scott14719:
I brought up the AMDL modem reflash question several posts back. Someone will have to try it before anyone knows. ODIN should restore the baseband to AMDL as long as everything goes OK.

Looks like post #198 confirms the modem reflash question.
