re: modems

I agree that flashing modems usually is not a very good idea, and the phone can be

bricked (soft bricked) if someone does not know what they are doing.

But the new Odin flash Tmobile S4 M919 4.3 firmware (sammobile) was specifically

intended and designed to work and be used with our M919 Tmobile Galaxy S4 phones

and the stock firmware does have the new 4.3 modem included in the official M919

Odin flash firmware.

So how can it brick or not work properly in our M919 S4 phones?

All ROMs are best here at XDA.

It is up to the user to make the determination, based on a variety of factors, of which ROM could be best for you.

As XDA is not a help-site, users are expected to try all roms to make their own decisions...

Hi everyone,

I have a Galaxy Note II with Tigra ROM v4 installed and since last version I had tha same problem.

I´ve tried a lot of patches, but nothing has worked.

Does anyone have solved this?

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martikp:
A'right ,here is the question, If I want to update my S4 via "Kies" how much would be the firmware size? (the new XXUEMK8 build)

I've try to update it via kies, but it did not show the "download size". Is it over 1 GB? or less?

(it is important to me). If you know please let me know, too. I am currently at android 4.3 XXUEMJ6.

And I also know that if I want to update my S4 via odin I must download the stock firmware (which is almost 1.5 GB) which is not my answer!

Second question, Is it worth to update to the latest version? for me, It doesn't seem to have problem with current build.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jdsingle76:
You should have 4g LTE if you have it in your area. Did you check to see if there is lte coverage for your carrier? It is different from 4g, so it might be worth checking. Additionally, if that's not it, have you tried reactivating everything after initial flash? Try running ##72786# from your dialer, and let it run through activation. That might help. I remember when I first flashed MK5 it took forever and several activations to finally get 4g
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] johnnycooper:
I can flash this over MK3 without worring about hard brick right?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mr. Struck:
Correct. Modems have nothing to do with bootloaders, even though they use the same letter/number system for naming. Anybody on Sprint or Virgin Mobile or Boost can use the modems from all previous builds for any of these phones interchangeably as well--both MG2 and MK5 from VM/Boost have been reported to work well on Sprint phones, and I can confirm personally that the Sprint modems like MK3 and MD4 run fine on Virgin.

Then flash hsr0's kernel using Flashtool in the fastboot mode.

You can also flash kernel using Command Prompt from your PC in the fastboot mode.

using this commands shown below:

fastboot flash boot "boot.img"

- In the quotes, it is the name of the kernel in .img extension.

- Kernels are also available in .elf and .sin files but hsr0's kernel which you can find in the ROMfile.zip is named boot.img

- Use it without quotes.

- Make sure you have the fastboot.exe in the same folder where your kernel file is.

Thank you very much !!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nick benedetto:
Hello guys, and even though many are on a stock rooted 4.3 Rom, people including me will still have slight limitations to what we can do because of SElinux being enabled.

1st: you have to flash a pre rooted mk3 rom. OTA update will not work.

2) next, download terminal emulator for android.

3) one your in type "su". Ignore the other text.

4) next type"setenforce 0"

Then your done! Make sure to close the session so your battery will last.

If you get a notification to reboot to restore SElinux, dismiss it and it won't pop up again.

Enjoy your fully unlocked system!

wouldn't it revert to enforcing after rebooting your device? Is there a configuration file that we can modified? TQ. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Unpack boot.img > ramdisk > init.rc

Look for "init.svc.boot"

Find the line that says "setenforce 1" and change the 1 to a 0

Save, recompile boot.img, and flash the new boot.img with selinux disabled in the kernel

I tried this on CM11 and it did nothing for me. Guess it doesn't work for custom ROMs.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trevayne2013:
basic goal:

I am getting started with a kiosk project and I am trying to remove the navigation bar at the bottom and take my application full screen and not allow user to get to any other application.

Hardware:

Custom manufactured 10.1 chinese tablet running stock 4.1.1 with a Rockchip processor. Rooted and kernel source provided by manufacturer.

Things that I have tried:

I have an application that launches on start up and since its rooted I have tried to kill the system UI by using the Hidebar method:

Runtime.getRuntime()
.exec(new String[] { "su", "-c",
"service call activity "+ProcID+" s16 com.android.systemui" });

and when I need the bar to reappear in maintenance mode

command = "rm /sdcard/hidebar-lock\n"
+ "sleep 5\n"
+ "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/vendor/lib:/system/lib am startservice -n com.android.systemui/.SystemUIService";

Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[]{ "su", "-c", command }, envp);

This works well and I have been using this method for sometime. After reviewing my code, I felt this is a hack and started searching for alternative ways of doing this. I came across a post detailing how to change the build.prop and adding the line qemu.hw.mainkeys=1

to it.

When I tried changing the qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 setting the tablet would not respond to the setting and the navigation bar still comes up. Since I have the kernel source, my end goal is to create a custom ROM and supply the manufacturer with all of our applications packaged as an image.

Before I embark on the process of doing this I wanted to see if this particular setting worked and then make this setting the default when I build a new ROM. Is there any way to debug why the system is not responding to the qemu.hw.mainkeys=1. Are there any other parameters that need to be changed to make the system respond to this setting?

I have decent experience in Android development and the application that I have on the tablet is fairly complex but, I am not very experienced in android internals and I am looking for some guidance from the gurus in this forum. This is the first time I am posting on XDA and I apologize in advance if I have posted in the wrong section or this question violates any rules and will move it to the right location/remove it if somebody guides me.

Alrighty, this has been a struggle since yesterday.

I recently switched back to KitKat 4.4 now that there is some stable ROMs, and discovered ViPER4Android. Amazing sound processing program, really enjoy playing with everything.

However, I can only get it to work SOME of the time. CM11 was the only ROM that it worked on every once and awhile (3 or 4 reboots and it would work for 2 songs, then quit). I've tried it on Gummy Kit Kat today and I am still unable to get it to show Processing: Yes. The official thread claims support for KitKat in the downloads, however it seems to be quite the opposite.. I'm flashing TikTak ROM as we speak, but if anyone has a fix that would be great. I've tried the following

Editing Build.prop

Placing Viper4Android on the System, and giving it the proper permissions

Uninstalling DSP Manager (CM11)

Tried Google Play Music & Apollo

None of these seem to make a difference.
