If you are not on the ME7 OTA update then you should be fine odin'ing back to mdk

If you are on the OTA, then you are stuck with me7
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] h311sdr0id:
The post above really answered your question. But just in case you need to be reassured:

On our device (at the moment), as long as you didn't accept the VRUAME7 OTA, then your okay.

I actually have a couple of questions for you (if you have the time).

-h311sdr0id
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Exodus885:
Can you help me out by giving me a little more information about how your getting stuck at the boot logo?

Anytime I installed a ROM(any ROM), I would test to see if I still had this problem and I would reboot my phone. Upon rebooting my phone, it never got passed the samsung logo. ODIN-ing back to stock helped fix this problem and now it works. However now I have an issue where facebook and instagram does not show any photos.....any ideas?

I suppose you started out clean (with VRUAMDK) and then rooted your device and installed a custom recovery.

Correct, I ODIN-ed back to MDK.

Did you root with SuperUser (new cwm opensource) or SuperSU?

SuperSU (motochopper SU script)

Which recovery did you install and how did you install it (which method)?

TWRP 2.6 using Goo manager then reverted back to 2.5.0.2

Which VRAUME7 ROM did you flash that you think started your boot issues?

Honestly, hard to say could be the nightly of CM10.2 (8/21)

Did you install the VRUAME7 radio/modem as well?

No I did not, do I need to update the radio/modem???

If so, which method did you use for updating your radio/modem and which files were used in your method (and where were they from)?

See previous answer.

Hope this helps

I made 2 of these one for home and one for office. This is a great start for someone that's wants this feature for cheap and not have to pay 20 $ minimum for any stand like this.

Needed:

3 big Boston clips

2 smaller Boston clips

1 bunch of zip ties

I put tubing over the handles to keep from scratching controller and phone.

Also you will notice I used a very small diameter but strong yellow twine.

Try it or something just as ghetto and post pictures here.

Holy crap that's genius! Do you know how long it lasts over the long term?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] psycho4us4:
Forever as long as the zip ties don't break. I've been using it everyday for 6 months or so. No issues yet
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] abovenbeyond:
I know a quick google search likely would find me the answer, but Ithought maybe it might be thread related to ask here anyways...

So the controller... it works? Meaning, how... bluetooth? Only PS controllers, or XBOX too?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] psycho4us4:
I use an app called six axis controller. I downloaded it on the Internet. You can make touch profiles for different games. Yes it works with bluetooth. Not sure if they have something similar for xbox as I don't have an xbox. Works awesome though. Flawless
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kushXmaster:
They don't have one for xbox because it uses proprietary micro$oft wireless. You can't even use them on Windows without buying a special wireless adapter. Can't even use it through USB.

Six axis controller app works great though for ps3 controllers. Been using it for quite a while myself. I think they make mini USB to micro USB cables and you can just plug and play, no root or app required. But then I suppose the game itself would need gamepad support.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] psycho4us4:
I still have both controller stands I made and they both function perfect. So to answer your question yes or lasts as long as you want it to. I use mine for about 40 hours a month I calculated. Dang that's allot of modem combat 4. I blow people's heads of constantly using this phone controller setup only. I love it.

Hello,

I have Nexus 7 3G version (4.3). and I want to setup WiFi hotspot so my other phone can connect and use the internet on nexus 7. But I could not find the tethering and portable hotspot.

Is there a way to make it run on nexus 7 ? Tried foxfi but my other phone just say " Obtaining IP address" and nothing happens.

If root is needed, can you point me to a site with detailed Instruction and what WiFi hotspot app should I install ?

What are my other options ?

Thanks and looking forward for your reply.

Flash your new MGA with Odin.

After use the CF-Root of chainfire flash it.

You should look if the chainfire is compatible with your device

Well I'm on Omega rom. I do not need to use Chainfire for root the phone because the Rom is already rooted. :)

Q: I have an ME7 S4. Is there any way to install MDK or a stock (non-ME7) ROM on this phone?

It seems like there is not, but I wanted to clarify as I'm hoping I'm just missing something.

I've been reading and reading and reading and trying every how-to I can find for 2 days now. No matter what I've tried, I cannot get a custom recovery on my phone and I cannot seem to revert the phone to MDK.

Is it possible to reboot an Android smartphone as a non-smartphone(Like a Nokia 1100) ?

Just enable only services to make phone calls and everything else remain disabled(Slow down the cpu

to the lowest clock speeds, lower bit depth, turn off all on-board electronics other than those necessary etc).

Motivation is to save power. In my phone most of the power is consumed by Android OS (and not screen).

I was wondering if I had a mode like that I could keep the phone alive in case I can't charge the phone immediately,

by switching into this power saving mode.

As the topic says. Wondering cuz if so us stock ota people could take the systemui.apk from mdk rom such as eclipse and get a cooler aosp look status bar.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] h311sdr0id:
The easiest way would be to just check the sizes of the two. Or if they are the same size then you can always get their checksums (MD5/SHA1) and compare them. I would do it for you, but I am mobile at the moment and have no access to the stock works right now.

If you don't have backups of the SystemUI.apk's, you could always unzip a ROM and then find them in the "/system/app" folder.

If you need anything else, let me know.

I always have an extra oem battery with me too, but I'd also like to see this. I generally take my battery below 5% if I'm going to bed for the night soon and don't want to pop in a fresh battery and the battery has a little power left, I'll milk it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] beerindex:
I too would love to make this a reality, especially because I have the ZeroLemon 7500 mAH battery. 5% left with that is fairly substantial, and thus extra annoying to have to use it dimmed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] cruise350:
You do know that taking a lithium battery that low all the time is very bad for the battery. If you got spares why would you drain it like that? Most lithium batteries will fail after around 500 complete charge and discharges but can last 1000's of partial charges.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] crawrj:
I have heard this before but so far I have not seen proof. I have been taking my batteries down to zero since the S1. And my daughter is still using the S1 with the original battery in it. And it still gets more than a days charge out of it. And I have done the same with the S2, S3 and my S4. All of which are going strong.

I know mileage varies but after four phones it doesn't seem to have an impact. And if it does have any impact it is very negligible. Enough that I can't tell.

Take the S1 for example. It was purchased on launch day. So it is three years old. That means it has probably close to 1000 charges. It has degraded some but that is normal for a battery that old.

Also look at it this way. If I charge my phone once it hits zero I am charging once a day at most. So 500 charges equals 500 days. If I charge my phone partially I would charge it at least twice a day, probably more. So 500 charges would be 250 days. So it would all work out close to the same in the end anyway.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] JoeFCaputo113:
Plus you wear out the charging port more (obviously) when you keep plugging it in/out.

i've had my battery go completley dead many times...no issues so far
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Drumrocker:
It is correct that lithium cells can be damaged if discharged beyond a certain point. However, most batteries containing lithium cells are "smart" and contain circuitry which will prevent the cells from being discharged (or overcharged) to the point at which damage will occur.

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Nasty_z:
Alright look, you didn't modify the updater script properly. Anyway, you'll have to wipe data, flash touchwiz rom, check if your updater script is properly modified and flash Aosp again.

Then install the graswitcher app again and select Aosp from touchwiz rom. If it works, great! If it doesn't and the phone gives a black screen then you still haven't edited the updater script properly. Remember, the updater script to edit is in the Aosp rom zip. Please read OP again.

I'm not 100% sure on this but I think that this should fix your problem.
