[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebulletfromhell:
From what I've read in your thread, you had the i9000 image working, correct? If so, why not just roll with it?

All Captivate/i9000 rom works with the i9000 bootloader. Captivate GB Rom will need to get the 2.3.5 i9000 Music Player APK, but aside from that, it all works. AOSP roms like Cyanogenmod and Slimbean will work out of the box if you get the captivate version. To install them, you'll need a slight workaround though:

Flash a kernel with CWM.

From there, flash the Captivate Glitch Kernel V13. It only comes in .ZIP format, which is why you need a CWM kernel before hand

Flash CM7 to convert the partition table(IMPORTANT. Rom will not boot if you skip this step.)

Flash anything from here on. If it throw a status 7 about device not being SGH-i896/SGH-i897, etc..., flash the Glitch Kernel before attempting to flash the ROM. You do not need to flash CM7 again.

(I know other ROM should have converted the partition table, but in reality it doesn't. Since you're flashing from Glitch, a CM7/MIUI kernel, they assumes you already have the MTD partition layout, and only resize it instead of doing a full conversion. CM7 check the partition table regardless of which kernel you're flashing it from.)

As a plus, Deep Idle works only with the i9000 bootloader. You'll get sleep of death otherwise. If you want your ATT World Phone image back, you can flash the custom param.lfs and change it manually. This can only be done from Touchwiz ROM though.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radeonrv:
I'm deciding to buy wether a galaxy S4 or note 3 but IMHO Note 3 is too big for me.

I find Note 3 quite useful for productivity and business, but its bulkiness makes me discard it. (Price too)

But I would like to know if I could use some galaxy note apps in galaxy S4.

Is there any possibility to have them and install them in .apks? What a pitty we don't have a note mini with full pen functionality... (5") :(

thanks in advance! :fingers-crossed:

I am not developer or geeks , but I own this Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 LTE(P5220) and cannot boot up after

I try to change custom rom. First I didn't notice that the one I flash was P5210(Wifi ver).

So totally cannot do anything.But I found that this link and all back to normal after I flash it.

I just share for those who facing the error like me.

This is my problem story that I posted on Q&A session.

This is the link for Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean XXUAMH8 Official Firmware for Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 LTE P5220 -

http://droidfirmwares.com/android-4...ial-firmware-galaxy-tab-3-10-1-lte-p5220.html

(Every step already write on the page, but just share)

1. download odin

2. Download firmware

3. Extract zip files and make sure your tablet is at least 30% batt life/

4. Make sure driver and go into download mode./Connect tablet with PC

5. open Odin(right click open by admin) /select PDA /

select file : P5220XXUAMH8_P5220OXXAMH4_P5220XXUAMH8_HOME.tar.md5 / wait 30-50 secs

6. Select auto-reboot and F.Reset time

7. Click start wait until tablet is reboot

After that your tablet should be fine and also Odin mode : systems status become official from custom also.

I am happy and hope you too, but don't blame me if not working.I just share what I found out.

Hi guys!

First it's many months i don't come here on xda.

Second i haven't this device

...but i playing with this SoC from 2 months in a developers board (Odroid-XU-E).As you,i can go at 1.8 Ghz with A15 and 640 Mhz max with gpu when i build kernels for it..No luck until now in enabling 8 cores...also if for you is a bit useless,being the SoC in a phone on battery(where my board instead is AC powered!)but i know there were a lot of drama about it months ago about the CCI-400 bug

...and something is moving.look here those diff\patches

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lch920619x:
Any pros to enlighten me what this actually means? Will this patch actually work?

Does it utilize the CCI400(which was believed to be broken) or other approach?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdonanthony:
a word from [MENTION=4167023]AndreiLux[/MENTION] to make things clear..

thanks !
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndreiLux:
For us, basically no. These patches are for device-tree based kernels which our platform specific one isn't.

For the ODROID-XU / eventual theoretical DT based i9500 kernel it might be a possibility.

I see there's some non-standard alterations to the CCI driver related to the coherency ports, but they didn't even answer in the mailing list as to why they are there.

[MENTION=4114570]sert00[/MENTION] so here is the answer ... damn so sad about this things going on... and im hoping somethings will get better soon

thanks AndreiLux
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lch920619x:
Does that mean it's a hardware level possibility, and just need to be implemented by clever brains?

They mentioned it was tested on 5410 dev board, dunno what that actually means..

Also regarding DT kernel, if I'm not wrong Linux is now forcing devs to switch to DT? So do you foresee any future for i9500 to actually have a DT kernel?

Forgive me if I was talking nonsense, I'm quite noob.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndreiLux:
I doubt Samsung will ever switch the current generation to a DT model much like they never update older phone's kernels, but backport the needed bits. They're talking about the SMDK board which are LSI internal development boards. It is a STUPID amount of effort to switch over to a DT kernel, any hope is that some third-party gets some kind of update on the matter and be able to pull from that. Even the XU has only some half-hearted DT support and they work mostly on the platform kernel which is similar to ours.

Alternatively I could just pull the relevant MCPM backend and that new EDCS from the patch and try to get hack something together. But I would want to at least those patches to be actually accepted into mainline and have the 5410 supported there before one begins on an adventure into unknown territory.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lch920619x:
I have to admit i got some difficulties understanding part of your post.

However I think I grasp the main idea and I'm looking forward to seeing how things will work once you try to implement the patch. Thanks for your effort.

BTW I'm using Chinese C version ROM(ZCUCMH1 to be specific), if I flash perseus ontop of my ROM, camera will refuse to open and report camera failure.

Not asking you to solve it but just curious if you can tell me what will possibily cause this?

Also if you have time can you point out what exactly is stopping us from having a fully functional AOSP build?

We got full kernel source code due to GPL, don't we?

And in another post you said it's nothing to do with documentation.

So what is it?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sert00:
thanks for the answer andreilux!i posted it only as a info.also on odroid board will be ready only when mainlined on 3.13 kernel,as sad by a linux developer,and there's tons of works to do to others stuffs to works!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] aka120:
Hey everyone. I'm pretty new here and I thought I would share my modded launcher with you.

I searched high and low for a way to enable drop shadows on the docked icons. Well, I couldn't find anything, so I got out apktools and started hunting.

The drop shadow appears to be enabled on early Touchwiz builds on the galaxy S4, as well as enabled on the S3. I have no idea why Samsung disabled this and not the shortcuts on the homescreen grid, or the appdrawer. To me, it just looks very inconsistent for some icons to have shadows and not others.

This is a deodexed 4x4 grid Touchwiz launcher based off of 4.2.2-I337UCUAMF3. It has docked icon shadow and scrolling wallpaper enabled.

Download/Install Instructions:

1. Download the AT&T SecLauncher3.apk from HERE

2. Make a backup of your rom just in case somthing goes wrong

3. Use a root explorer and navigate to /system/app and find SecLauncher3.apk

4. Rename SecLauncher3.apk to SecLauncher3.apk.bak

5. Copy the SecLauncher3.apk that you downloaded from step #1 into the /system/app folder

6. Change permissions of SecLauncher3.apk to rw-r--r--

7. Reboot

Alright I've been down this road many a time.

Make sure you unlock the device when it is connected to the computer. If you just plug the nexus in it will not appear.

First, check that MTP is checked under settings->storage->(menu button in top right cornet)->USB computer connection

Try toggling the setting off, connecting to the computer, and turning it back on.

If you have used ADB in the past try turning it off. Otherwise don't worry about it.

Try going into device manager and uninstalling the drivers for the nexus 7 then replugging the nexus in and reinstalling drivers.
