I don't own a s4 i9500, but try to rooted again? Or use Odin to install a cwm recovery than backup your data. Btw google synchronization all contacts, right? Sign in Google account and check your contacts.

I have installed the 1.12.10 GSM on it after making backups with aWizard. I am happy to report that it does work and that it does speed up the initial connection. Before (with 1.09.11 I beleive) I could log into (enter my PIN) and would still have some time before I would connect and get signal bars. It also seemed to increase refresh rates of the bars. Now the signal is usually found before I even finish entering my PIN muchless the today screen loading.

These tests were made in my basement at my house where I typically have been getting 1-3 bars. now to test 1.13.10 and 2.8 OS to see if it works.

I will say I thought it broke at first because I couldn't get my PC to talk to it after it reloaded, then I did another soft reset and the boot screen the second time didn't list the GSM version, even though the OS did see and use GSM. I re-ran the CID unlock procedure again since I could talk to the phone again. Reset again and GSM ver was on the boot screen again.

I also swapped out the boot screen for a bmp and that worked wonderfully. my only question is if there is a way to swap out the booting screen of the OS and not just the IPL Rom.

cheers,

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] ethorn:
I have just done the RUU install of 2.16.9.101 which also upgrades IPL/SPL to 2.16. It changed my radio version to 2.7.10 and my protocol version is 413.1.0.3. This ROM date is 2/6/06.

Immediate differences are the battery notification is now at the top where on Cingular's ROM it was at the bottom next to the comm switch program. That and everything is I-Mate branded. No Get Good, but instead now I have I-Mate backgammon and Skype. And instead of the Cingular Mail link now there is an I-Mate mail link.

I will update later with more.

More... OS ver 5.1.195 build 14847.2.0.0 IDK if this is different or not.

Update 11AM: I have tested more. ZPhone themes I can't seem to install... IDK why but with the original Cingular ROM I couldn't either. The original ROM had a bug that used the proxy of the modem setting on the wifi setting making wifi not work unless you went and disabled it since it is enabled by default. This new rom after installing "Cingulcustomize_No_Emails.cab" to get MediaNet back, wifi just works. Even with the Proxy set on the modem connection. My Bluetooh headset (Jabra HT800) works great. Comm Manager is real nice. Even showing you the status of SMS and GPRS/EDGE connection. I want to play with it a little more to see if I can control those two or not. Gone from teh Cingular ROM is the ability to click on the Edge status icon in the notification area and tell it to turn on Wifi. But the Turn on Flight Mode still exists under the Cell Strength bar. Signal strength is comperable to the 1.12.10 radio rom I had before the upgrade. And IDK if it is taking longer to load from a reset or not, but before the Phone radio would be up and running just as I was finishing putting in my PIN unlock. But now it is running and connected before I can even start to input it. Just observation, that extra second doesn't mean anything.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] exchguy:
I also have the 8125, so I am curious if the Imate ROM will cause any problems after the upgrade. I am not sure I want to wait a few more months until Cingular gets around to providing their upgrade.

Some other posters with the test/beta Qtek AKU 2.0 rom reported that they had trouble with the device resetting itself and problems with Wi-Fi. Let us know if you experience any issues with this ROM.

How has EDGE speed been, any improvements over the shipped ROM? Have you tried push email?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] darkjedi:
ok, i updated my 8125 to the new rom and am having two issues atm. first, the phone signal icon and the battery icon on the today screen is cut off so i only see the edge icon. secondly, i cannot start wifi at all, no matter what i do :\ (it looks like it's thinking but doesn't actually turn on :() now i did apply the cingular extended rom to this so i dont know if that caused both issues or not. as for edge performance, i'm in an area with bad signal so i couldnt exactly test it. i'm going to be clearing storage tonight and see if that fixes both issues or not. i haven't tested push e-mail as clubimates servers AREN'T supporting direct push (ie they don't have SP2 installed or have it enabled on exchange).

Locked up

Well I am noticing that it is locking up if I let it sit for a while to where I can't bring it back up. I have disabled the lock code to see if that fixes it.

I would have a feeling that the problems you are having are because of the enhanced rom difference. it won't hurt to try it as is like I did since you are having problems with it.

thank you for giving the info on where to get the link. I have been away from a pc today.

as an update: the phone seems to be stable with the new rom (I am actually using the phone now using edge and it seems faster than my old phone was which was a nokia.)

I haven't had it lock up on me since I uninstalled battery pack pro, disabled lock code, and uninstalled skype & backgammon so take your pick as to what fixed it. I will do some more expereriments to try and figure iit out.

Are you having the same issues as darkjedi who said he's having problems with WiFi and signal strength icon?

after the upgrade i cant find the GPS ICON

even i try to delete the redirect string in the registry like i used to do before

please anyone noticed this problem ?

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] darkjedi:
i finally fixed the signal strength icon (but don't ask me how), but wifi is still borked :(
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] ethorn:
no more problems, lock ups or otherwise

My guess with my problems were related to Battery Pack Pro demo. Even on the original rom I couldn't get it to work right with the assignable hard keys.

Anyway, I did not modify the original EXE one bit like darkjedi said he did. He seems to be much more advanced as I don't know how to do what he did and not that familier with its registry settings yet. But I naver had any problems with Wifi nor with icon placement.

My home wifi does use WPS-PSK TKIP using a Netgear WG302. Battery life seems good, but I do get a little crackle every now and then on my end of the bluetooth handsfree. People I talk to haven't said they hear anything other than perfect clarity. I would have been told if they heard anything since part of my reason to spend the money now rather than later was my voice and signal quality on my old Nokia was getting to be bad and they wouldn't waste a second ragging me if voice and signal problems were re-appearing. But mostly the crackle is few and far between and usually when my headset is on the other side of my body or I am a few feet away from my phone.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] darkjedi:
i didn't modify the original EXE, i installed it as normal, then after the fact, copied the cingular extended ROM then installed each cab manually. i didn't get a chance to try wifi before i applied the extended rom, but i just might hard reset and try that.

i dnt see the rush to upgrade if u have a cingular 8125 since there goa offer rom upgrades for the unit. with all the bugs i rather just get a ad2 bt plugin (wish they made it) and just do that
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] ethorn:
what roms do they offer? On my past phones I have had to have major problems before they would flash a new version of the Rom (my last 2 symbian phones).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] ethorn:
ok... the only cab I installed for Cingular was the one I mentioned earlier. I have since installed spb power plus and their weather app and I am still stable. Not one failuer and my bluetooth is actually acting better from some reason. I was working on my car today with teh phone in the car and I was about 10 feet away without any noise or other problems.

Re: thanks

Is there any settings to configure edge? I only see GPRS in the connections section.

This version appears quite stable but's only my second day since upgrading my 8125 from the QTECH 2.8.7.102. I really like the Comm manager and the Push Email icon works great.

On the new imate ROM I'm getting between 65 and 110 kbps on edge. Latency is still crap at about 1.5 seconds on average, but that's what it's always been for me.

Direct push is great. Assuming you have Exch SP2 installed, push works without any other changes. I'm averaging between 7 and 10 seconds for an entry to push out after it gets to Exchange. I haven't installed the device management tools yet, but I'll do that soon and let you know how well they work.

I just noticed wifi isn't working. If I enable it in comm manager, the button is ringed in green as if it's on, but the left green led does not blink and it does not detect my open, unsecured access point. I did install the cabs from my original cingular extended rom, and one of those appears realted to wifi, but not sure what it does. I'll mess around some more and see what I can do. I'm not totally heartbroken that wifi is messed up, but it does bug me that I don't know why it aint working.

-The device seems to be running a bit faster then the previous stock 8125 rom from Cingular

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] j*4*t:
That's something I'm always trying to achieve. The perfect set-up. I think I get there, but I never do. I don't think I ever will. It's great that you have it like you want it. Good job. It looks great.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] easyrider77:
Yeah, just keep plugging at it. I spent almost a month of endless trying roms, reflashing to stock, back and forth, because touchwiz just works, and I always seem to have 1: 3g LOS or 2: GPS lock on issues, with most every rom out there. I've tried a ton of them, and always end up reverying back to stock touchwiz. In the meanwhile I was always lookign how to make touchwiz more asop/cm/stock android like, and this is about the closest I could ever come.

I did however find a glitch with this. Not so much a glitch but a I guess you'd call it a hangup.......the touchwiz dialer can't be frozen, becasue somehow it corelates and connects with the dialing process, therefor you can't freeze it or else the dial part of the phone doesn't work, not even with a dialer.....it has to have the stock touchwiz dialer in tact before any dialer apps will work....my gues is the app calls on something from the rom in the dialer part instead of actually being a stand alone dialer.

That being said, useing shortcuts from apps or even stock android, it brings up the dialer of touchwiz, not the dialer app.

Even though the dialer part and contats part looks what the app shows, it's still calling on the dialing and connecting part of the rom.

My guess is it's part of the framework, and a lot of work would have to be done to get it to work like aosp or even use the aosp dialer instead of the stock touchwiz on touchwiz roms, that's why no one has delved into trying to make aosp stuff work on touchwiz, to much working with the framework to be worth the effort.......of coarse if I knew ANYTHING about programming I'd give it a tackle myself, but as much as I try, and I have tried for years to understand the programming end of it, it all just goes directly over my head.

So this is about the closest one can come without actually having aosp/stock android on their phones via touchwiz. The ONLY thing really left to tackle is the dialer/contact part of touchwiz, everything else is taken care of, so I'm hoping someone somewhere can find a resolve to using aosp dialer on touchwiz rom, but I don't hold much in that thought sadly........come all this way and have messaging, camera, and gallery all usable in touchwiz, and not the dialer part.

I've seen a TON of posts about using the aosp dialer in touchwiz, so I'm sure if anyone gets a fix on it or a working version of it for touchwiz roms, it would be a major downloaded file. I'd be on that wagon in a heart beat
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asd87:
Unfortunately I always end up back on TouchWiz as of late. It does just work. I don't have to flash certain kernels or mod to get it working the way it should.

Props to all the devs that do what they do.

I use hangouts for all my messaging, nova prime, and just the stock lock screen. And Google keyboard because Samsung and Swype suck! Also have action launcher pro.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] easyrider77:
Yeah I do the same, always end up on Touchwiz, simply because it just works correctly.

This way I have now is still GC01 touchwiz, just using apps and such to get the aosp look and feel, so it's not really aosp, although it still gives the impression of it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] byrdcfmma:
Hey, that's not fair you are cheating! The fun part of the AOSP game on our device is to find out what doesn't work or stops working when you need it most!!

Never mind!

Didn't work at all. The only way to do it is to install a kit Kat phone dialer and hide the other dialer ^-^

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] easyrider77:
Heh, thanks, yeah I searched hi and low to try and get things the aosp way. I'm still itching ta put on an aosp rom, but every time i do I always get gps lock-on issues and/or 3g los issues. I think I've tried every rom out there, and every one (for me) has either the gps lock-on or 3g los signal, most of them have the gps lock-on issue, as apposed to the 3g los though, while some have both and some jsut the 3g los.

The 3g los is weird for me though, it's not a full blown los, it's more a flicker affect...it flickers in and out, other times it just gets lost in limbo, while the 3g signal still shows it's connected.

I worked on this setup about an hour in all I think it was, looking and searching and trying things out. I already had the AIO tweak, so that part was done, the hard part was finding a messenger, dialer and camera. Wish I could get the aosp dialer to work in touchwiz, that's all that's left really, other than the settings. If someone could jsut get the aosp/cm dialer to work in touchwiz, so many people would be on cloud nine.

I keep hoping that dastin will fix the 3g los issue, but it hasn't happened yet, otherwise I'd be on the kitkat version of his.

I also get the 3g los issue in cm10.2 now as well as hood pope, so not sure what's going on. I tried beanstalk and couldn't get the gps to work right, again the lock-on issue, revolt had the gps issue as well, Slimbean had the 3g and gps issue I think it was....One other one that everything worked on, started with an S< and was VERY basic aosp, but got pulled because the sorce I think it was.

I am (paycheck providing) next week on Friday upgrading to an s3, so I'm hoping that the gps lock-on issue works better on it than it does this s2.

Weird how some s2's have the issue, and others don't.....same company, same model/make, one has it other does not.

I guess that's why it's kinda hard to track down, is because while some with the EXACT same phone say "I have no issues with this or that" others say "I have this issue, or that issue"

Everything is touchwiz, except for the parts that are CM/AOSP.

Gallery, Camera, Messaging are all aosp/cm, dialer+contacts is an app, lockscreen is an app, the rest is the launcher and touchwiz.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
Seems odd but even on the same chips therein lie minute differences that make them unique. So your device will be different and it will work in some Roms better than other. It also does not help that this phone's users seem to crave cutting edge over stability (my self included). So although we have kit Kat and nightlies and unofficial builds for everything we actually have nothing as stable as touch whiz. Mostly because it's funner to add features than to fix and debug. I'm currently working on an honest to god vanilla build for this device and I want to make it stable over feature rich since I believe xposed does that. But my I internet has be so poor lately ? it'd take me weeks to sync the aosp source... It'd be easier if I had a laptop ? but oh well. That's life. Good luck with your gs3 I want to upgrade as well. Probably something nexus
