[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] jtsv:
OK I admit I'm leary I dropped my phone Tuesday and totally shattered (still in tact) my screen and immediately put a protector on to keep the glass splintering from happening. Bummed but oh well Sams Club is having a .96c cent GS4 pre black sale on Sunday night so it seems I'll be leaving GS3 behind and getting a GS4 I would rather wait until after first of year to see what comes but I need to take advantage of the sale.

I have only had this GS3 2 months after bricking 3 E4GT's and getting this because 4th one power button broke, replacement being on BO.

Coverage here in OKC for sprint is so so and gets better as time goes by so I'm always on WiFi so otherwise everything seems to work the same. Being on the E4GT for past almost 2 years all the young tech guys I relied on do not know anything about the GS3 or GS4 so as a 48yr gray haired guy I'm learning as I go.

I really would like a Note3 or the rumored GS5 when I went to sprint to get the screen cover the tech's said they have really been liking the LG L2 but not having a removable battery would take me back to my iphone days and I hated the control that apple had over me. Sprint tech guys always like seeing the newest things on my phone but when it comes to roms and rooting they are a lost cause.

My wife needs a new phone the has the galaxy s w/slider keyboard, I originally got my E4GT from amazon .01 cent Black Friday sale 2 years ago and it is best that both she and I stay on same contract terms.

Question: Anyone have suggestion of a S4 rom?

Been running [ROM][4.4][Beta][UNOFFICIAL][Updated 11/21/13]Cyanogemod 11 for D2SPR with total 4.4 kitkat and using PA Gapps.

Prior Ran The Collective 4.3.1 w/PA Gapps.

I generally run anything and every apk that will flash, not afraid to test things, nito and download the link.

My kids and most of family are all iOS fans and always stock so I'm the crazy droid spilunker.

Any suggestions or recommendation's about ROMs would be appreciated.

I'll figure theming as I go. I'm just a little bummed but know once I get the phone on Sunday night that I'll just find a new forum and thread to join.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] daniel4653:
For your question. That cannot really be answered by someone else. Look through the OG Dev and regular dev sections. To see all of the Roms available and flash any that catch your attention. Then from their choose which one you want to stick with.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Naddict:
See above, it is best you also break out questions so that when "best rom" answer create arguments, moderators do not have to shut down entire threads as "best rom" stuff is generally not allowed.

I'll check this out when I get few minutes free.

Thanks for posting.

There is theme engine on this rom? And how is the sound ?is at least the same like stock rom?

Nice rom, working great on my at&t i337 using safestrap.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] JamesEh408:
I like this thing...good job OP and thanks for sharing.

Is there a way to get 3minit working on here?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Rushing:
that'd be cool... Who's that guy that made it?? Maybe if he likes my ROM he will let me use his framework =]

maybe you can do it for yourself? dont know the depths it goes into to install it but could be easy... in fact I think that is how you are supposed to get it if you wanted it...IDK if you get any info on uf i can then let me know, James or anyone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] xperia_88:
Hi,

Before I'll try this rom I would appreciate if you someone will tell me the speciality and the advantage by using this rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrzhadow:
It's gharrington. Here is his thread http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=41361132&postcount=1 you would definitely have to speak with him to see if you can get permission to use his framework. He asks all devs in his thread not to use it. The only dev I know that has permission is Jamison904. 2 thumbs up on your rom by the way!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] iulian vu:
There is theme engine on this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Rushing:
I worked on it for months... it is half the size of a regular ROM ... one third of stock...

I am not begging you to try it btw.. you however are privileged with access to download it for free with no adds no bs either.

what is it that you would want dear?

yeah I remember the name now.. ing in his name so maybe we are distant cousins and he will grant me the use of his framework.

no. sorry this ROM is very traditional in that it has no fancy aroma installer or theme engine =]

to the crowd:

the main feature of this ROM is its theme all blacked out bars and dialog boxes, like you know the ugly blue bars that are present in all the other tw roms right now lol ... now I am sure those bars look good to some but to me those blue bars and blue dialog boxes are gross. and its not like there aren't three hundred different little bars to theme and dialog boxes who knew that was ugly haha yeah no kang please no kang ahaha.... And to a certain love... see! hahaha =]

and being very light it is very fast, hence the naming.

Enjoy responsibly,

and there are rules to sharing... but let the master do as he pleases. I personally don't even want the 3minit framework besides Kitkat is coming soon.. so enjoy this.. this is not a first run ROM like I stated earlier I have been using this version of this ROM flawlessly for over a month so its likely final without saying.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] JamesEh408:
Thanks OP...great work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] shortkidd96:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrzhadow:

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Xerrus:
For those of you who took advantage of the $50 Google Play credit Samsung threw out there for purchasers of the Note 3, I thought I'd put this out there so we can all get a feel for what others deem worthy of spending $$$ (credits rather) on.

Personally I used $4.99 to buy the password manager: Safe in Cloud. Gorgeous interface, PC access and support for your passwords and an iOS app in the works for a truly cross-platform PW manager.

I'd love to have some other good ideas, this $50 is burning a hole in my (virtual) pocket.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] dclutter1:
Good idea. I've been curious about this too. Personally, I'm waiting until the black Friday sales hit the play store. Still not sure what I'll buy though.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
None cuz they dont take dev phones imei's. :(
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Xerrus:
Dang, that's a low blow. After only making the Dev unit available at full price at that... :-/
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] tokan_one:
So far, the only app I've bought that seems worthy is Lux Auto Brightness. The lowest brightness setting on my Note 3 is FAR too bright (think floodlight) and this app seems to take the backlight under the "zero percent brightness" setting which is great for the every night pitch black setting I use it in.

I also purchased Flight Vegas Sim and Modern Combat 4 but those didn't seem to be too worthy as they are just time wasters. Thank goodness for that Google Opinion Rewards app giving me some more precious Play Credit! :D

I am planning to rent a couple movies using the credit. Too bad we can't buy Chromecast, that'd be the best use personally.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] xtrandrix:
Thanks for mentioning Lux Auto...I just picked it up. Works great

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Chillout2010:
It's only good for digital purchases. Even with Google wallet it won't work. Who the heck needs $1500 worth of app credit? I guess if you want to buy every single app in the store...

My apologies for assuming that you used a generator ... I admit my frustration may have been misdirected.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] xXJay_RXx:
"Brah" seriously? Lmao I highly doubt you are what you say you are. A lot of people love to front on the internet. I highly doubt a small business owner would use the word "brah" and "are you mad because I stay getting money??" Sounds like something a douche bag teenager would say. Lol but if you say so, "brah"

And for the record, I ain't "mad". Do you.

Just seen this on one of the sites i frequent, looks like Samsung is getting ready to give us all 4.4 in the coming months(international first of course) but definetly surprised to see this as i know they have been busy just rolling out 4.3 to current devices. I wouldn't expect 4.4 on the note 2 til at least Summertime 2014, but at least it looks to be coming...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] musclehead84:
Yeah I saw that but it's gonna be a while. They are saying March or April for international version. It'll be a while after that for us.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t4d73:
Yeah maybe. But didn't we just get 4.3 a day after the international version?

[RAZR HD General] junkaholic:
My RAZR HD was getting slower and slower in response, which I found very annoying. I figured it was cause of me using alternative launchers and too many apps installed and I'd have to live with it. Or I thought it was only having 1 GB of RAM.

But I found the following tip and wiped the cache partition:

http://support.verizonwireless.com/support/devices/knowledge_base.html/66428

Wow. The phone is responding instantaneously. Wow. SERIOUS improvement in response.

I followed these instructions EXACTLY as they say, I have reproduced here:

1 Power the device off.

Note Press the Power button then select Power off.

Note If the device doesn't respond to input, press and hold the Volume Up / Down then press and hold Power button. When the device screen goes blank, release the Power button while continuing to hold Volume Up / Down then proceed with step 3.

2 Press and hold the Volume Up / Down then press the Power button.

3 When presented with the Boot Mode Selection Menu, release all buttons.

4 Press Volume Down to select Recovery then press Volume Up.

5 From the Droid triage screen:

Press and hold Volume down.

Press and release Volume up.

Release Volume down.

6 Select wipe cache partition then press the Power button.

Note Use Volume keys to navigate options.

7 Select reboot system now then press the Power button.

Note Use Volume keys to navigate options.
[RAZR HD General] ckrohrer72:
Thank-you! I had same exact problem. I just did it. Much better now...
[RAZR HD General] junkaholic:
I know, eh? Who would have thought?

It was getting embarasssing when you have friendly fights between an iPhone and you to find information faster and.... it would take 3 seconds for Google Search to even load...

Funny thing is... that sequence of pressing buttons to get to the Recovery menu selection is something I just cannot memorize. :laugh:

once a day may be a bit extreme, although it has been a known fact for some time, wiping the cache from time to time reduces lag and helps other minor issues.

My own advice

Wow, just how exactly is it that this is NOT a Sticky? This is about the most useful piece of advice I´ve ever found about my Razr, it´s like a new phone all over again! And if you have a custom recovery, it´s even easier. I´ve got the Touch CWM 6.0.4.4 for XT925 and going into it if you have quickboot installed on your rooted phone is a one buton touch on your screen process, I´m very, very happy now, thanks! :)

Ok, now for my own piece of advice. One other measure which helped me tremendously as well was to clean everything from the original, base launcher. I made the mistake of leaving some extra pages and widgets on the original launcher after I had installed Holo HD launcher, and it wasn´t until now that I realized that those things left on the original launcher still loaded into the memory on the background, even if I wasn't using it or couldn't even access it for that matter! So, if you use Nova, Apex, Holo HD or any other Launcher, make sure you first delete ALL extra pages and leave just the one, Remove the clocks, folders, icons and specially any widgets that might have been on the desktop page, and pay special attention to remove the Circles Widget. You will see the difference! Thanks :good:;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xsenman:
Attached Odin3 and Odin Mutidownloaders used for specific Samsung Devices

How to use

Start Odin3 or Multi Downlader meant for your Device (download from below)

Put your phone in "USB debugging" mode

Power your Device into "Download mode" with the specific combo keys or the SDK ("adb reboot download") or USB JIG

You should see the yellow triangle and "Do not Turn Off Target!" on your phone

Odin should see the phone with COM Port lighting up in yellow, blue or green

Select the relevant files you want to flash

Click start

Important

1) Flashing can brick your phone, so be sure you have the correct ROM/files for your Device

2) Phone must be fully charge , failing to do so or phone runs out of power during flashing or first boot up process can brick your phone

3) Odin3 will conflict with KIES, causing "setup connection" problems so kill it when using Odin

4) The rule of the thump is " make backup" of EFS, data, sms, call logs, current ROM before flashing

Sony have washed their hands of these devices. XTS was lucky to get 4.1. STS was forgotten 1 year ago with 4.0.3 :(. XTZ will be supported for a long time as there will be developer support through unlocked bootloader etc

So I was running some custom rom from a long time ago. My speaker blew so I went to unroot and go back to stock.

Some how along the way I deleted the everything on my sd card. Whatever, I booted into bootloader

Fastboot flash recovery recovery.zip

Bam. Recovery is back online. Great so I go to flash a rom using sideload. Okay great says its good to go. Nothing, just brings me back to bootloader and recovery isn't working again. Okay different rom. Try like 4 or 5 other roms and get teh same thing everything. Each time I have to reinstall recovery. I'm going crazy, spent like 9 hours on this crap. Someone please oh please teamview me or something

I've also already tried pushing the roms to the phone, had no difference when I went to install them.

I'm at S-on and unlocked with the tamper message above it.

Hi all, if you try the following...

1. Click 'Device unlocked' on the Today screen so it changes to 'Device locked'

2. Turn device off / wait for it to go to sleep

3. Turn device on / wait for something to wake it up

...the device has unlocked itself, correct or is it just my Xda Mini S?

So how are we supposed to lock the device properly from accidentaly screen taps -- a problem I keep encountering?

Also, is there any way to add a timeout to the device lock, so if the screen isn't tapped for 5 mins, it automatically locks (assuming we actually make the lock feature work in the first place!).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Puckster:
My K-JAM used to do this all the time.

I never actually worked out the exact cause, i have a feeling it may have been caused by software i was testing when i 1st recieved the k-jam.

It stopped doing it altogether after a recent hard reset.

Sorry i wasnt more help.

Cheers

Chris
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ZeBoxx:
the device lock wasn't made with these systems in mind... it's intended for smartphone devices which don't have a 'suspend' state - let alone a button you can push to put it into, and bring it out of, that state.

If you want a free, proper locker, put the following in your today-screen-app-launcher of choice:

http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=14621

This'll 'lock' even the on/off button (immediately 'locks' again if you try to turn it back on, or shut it off (by holding down the on/off button - as you need to confirm by dialog)).

On the down side, it'll also turn your display off.

To unlock, on the Wizard, you need to press the Messaging (top-left, front side) button and the Voice Dial/Memo (top-right, side) button at the same time.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] McHale:
That lock/unlock feature on the Today screen is pretty crappy actually. I locked my keys religiously. And half the time, I would pull my phone out and it was on a webpage or on my email... and I never opened them.

I'm hoping they fix this...

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] CJSnet:
Well it's ridiculous that O2 etc. keep the function enabled by default on the Today screen of their units, if the feature is for Smartphones only! But then, there's a lot of things O2 don't understand about the world but don't get me started on that.
