[Galaxy S 4 General] Absolon:
Ok all. Collection time! :)

Ok, lets do some hardware compare!

I really hate this PK that you can't write even S h i t for garbage. What is that? Kindergarten? :P

I was on a chat long time ago where this was also OMG! Terrible, so we invented, Duck and TihS/tish and I think you all know what it means when I say

Ducking tishhy Samsung ;)

OK. I have some doubts about the 4.3 when we get the chance for upgrate. First since we don't have any bootloader that is ok and without their claws,

I'm afraid that if we upgrade we won't be able to downgrade. With that, if someone does that, when times come, there would be interesting to know

if you can Odin back to your base version.

Does all have an Odin-package of their phone? I've seen there are some big divergences on what we all have and now that Sammobile has a bit of problem

to link to the roms since the site that hosted them was closed by FBI we have to hunt for them. I was lucky enough so I have my version of 4.2.2 and can

just null it after they have started to screw up my phone, sooner then later.

Anyone (Knox tripped mostly) got problems with Play? Like it refuses to install because of no space while there is plenty or error-codes that are strange

like -110? I know that Samsung has done something with Play after the Knox is tripped to punish us but I don't know when that starts to happen.

Seems after some while. All things installed are upgraded fine, especially Samsungs own programs of course...

But the 4.3...

I don't want to go with the Samsung version of 4.3. The 4.3 has both the SELinux and then SEAndroid (NSA tihs) if I'm correct and then there are again

another rule-based layer that is bad enough that we have this damn bootloader that we all seem to have. We really need a clean one....

No virtual machine that tihs's with the phone more then it does. And I really think that we should remove the Samsung things in our current 4.2.2

I don't like the name "push service" and my friends phone was stone dead hardware bricked because they PUSHED an upgrade, not honoring the

"Do not auto-install updates" or that it should ASK if you want it. It started to upgrade on it's own and she got panic and pulled the battery.

I would probably do the same, but that resulted in a bricked phone. I tried to save it yesterday but after it didn't accept a custom recovery OFFICIAL

bootloader killed it. Totally. Not even the power button made it work. NOTHING. So caution my friends.

And as I asked in the Knox thread, this is for the Knox-tripped I9506.

What did you notice has changed? I noticed that my Wifi is so damn slow that I sometimes just close it and go over the normal cell-net.

Also noticed the Play issues that makes you phone basically useless. Sideload works for some but some it just refuses.

The thing that is has no space but it still have in FreeSpace

The /system is almost 80% full but I don't find the culprits. Removing some stuff just made the phone totally crazy.

Another useful but sometimes dangerous app is System App Mover.

That moves the apps you can't deinstall to userapps so you CAN deinstall them. Like Google Book etc

Ok, that's it. Let's play some

I had things removed and I don't know if that is code or something else. I still had the icons left.

The *#1234# works only in the original dialer but that is maybe the general case?

hmm, Antutu shows it working still as fast as Note 3 so it has not done anything there at least.

But that was before I rooted. I just rooted it and will compare it again.

What more? I had a total "lock out" of the settings once.

Can you do Hardware Info on your device? Play link: Hardware Info

It doesn't show "Snapdragon" but if you have anything that isn't the same as I have, please send me the different stats to 979d9364@opayq.com

Think my mail look strange? It is! Get the MaskMe extention to Chrome or FF (If you use Internet Explorer I will spank you! ;))

It's a great thing to create masked emails to avoid spam since you have to register everywhere today I just use that. If that starts to spam me I just remove it.

The it goes to cyberspace. So it's good for that. And the best is that it's free ;)

I'm including mine here for comparison. So we know that we have the same damn hardware or if they have put different models under the same name?

Oh, if you don't have it, install it! NotePad++!!

The zip has my info in html and txt you can easy diff, if you save the html it spits out to test (copy/paste or how you do that normally).

Or if you are really obnoxius, drag the html to the webbrowser, mark it and save it in Notepad :P

I use Total Commander for almost anything so I don't have to do stuff like that. If you don't have that AS WELL. Get it. It's hell easier to work

with then using the explorer, copy here paste there, icons bla bla. I have TC, with the "see all files", you mark the files/dirs on one side

View a file (F3), Edit it (F4), Copy (F5), Move it (F6), Create a new dir (F7), mark (insert), delete (del). Mark files in a dir (Keypad, Numlock on! "+")

Once you get used to it you do things like 100 times faster and you ask yourself how could I ever worked without it? :)

Here: Total Commander

If you have Windows (assume you have) this is an ok prog to diff if you don't want to do it in NotePad++ WinMerge

Else the "Compare" plugin in Notepad++ works just as well. Your choice :)

Just diff it and send me the differences! :)
