I've noticed it as well. I miss the days of the S2 and siyah kernel. KT is the closest kernel were going to get to that kind of features. With the S5 due out soon a lot if devs are going to move on. This will be my last samsung. I'm tired of Sammy's ugly and bloated FWs
[Galaxy S 4 General] ICECOLDKILLAH:
yeah me too m8, when i upgraded from the s2 to the s3 i was happy afterwards, but now after the upgrade from the s3 to the s4...

yeah i remember the old s2 days with the siyah kernel too :)

actually i am also thinking about switching to anything else than samsung...
[Galaxy S 4 General] Gilg@mesh:
well I just bought the Xperia Z1, but still keeping the i9506 as second phone in case something happens, or if I don't like the Z1...
[Galaxy S 4 General] sackynuts:
I too miss the sgs2 and sgs3 days. This will also be my last galaxy phone... All this knox-bulls* and bloated firmwares. But which manufacturer should I go to? HTC? Where's most developer activity?
[Galaxy S 4 General] oldblue910:
Nexus devices.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Bejtulla:
Hmm.. the biggest advantage, from my point of view, of nexus devices are, they'll rather have support for upcoming OSs such as Ubuntu, Mozilla etc. because of AOSP(drivers etc.). Samsung/HTC/Sony on the other side have always their customized Android OS, which is also a good thing because they have to be absolutely stable.
[Galaxy S 4 General] sorg:
My SHV-E330S(same as I9506) has not less mods than my old S2. I would say, it has much more mods than S2.

The only difference - you wait when someone will do this for you, while i do it by myself.

Actually, i don't see what is interesting in using already made custom ROM which has be made in someone's specific taste.

Today, there are much more devices than before. Thus, concentration of developers for particular device is less and less. If you want to get something interesting for particular device, you have to become one of such developers.

Otherwise, just get Nexus - it already has naked Android which most people here is looking for.
[Galaxy S 4 General] aresbv2000:
The only thing i miss for my I9506 is the kernel developement.But if you think better why would you OC the Krait 400?Isn`t the fastest CPU avalaible on the market?A kernel with udervoltage feature enabled would be perfect.For the rest...if you have root you can make it all by yourself.There are a lot of tutorials on the market explaining how you can port a custom ROM and a lot of mods and themes ar compatible for this phone from I9505 thread and Note 3.For short...i`m very satisfied with my I9506.Way faster and less battery draining than I9505.I have them both!
[Galaxy S 4 General] faabak:
If no-one is porting a rom from either the Xperia Z1, or from the Note 3 wich at least have the same CPU, i will probably look into how to do this myself.. I bought the i9506 yesterday and thought there would be a custom rom allready, but no.. My old Optimus 4X HD is still in use, cause i really hate the Samsung menu system!
[Galaxy S 4 General] toxicneo:
I9506

I am from India. My friend is getting me a I9506 from US for 490 dollars. is it a good deal? Will I get OTA updates on it?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Vessina:
Think no.. New samsung devices have a region lock by default..

If its a new device and is unlocked maybe, but u need to activate in your region for first use..

Dont know if device only run in US if ur friend activate the phone there..

If not, you'll need to unlock it and pray..

Other thing will be flash ur own firmwares but this will flag a 1 on knox void warranty efuse and cant receive OTAs..
[Galaxy S 4 General] stuningchettri:
Yeah i just sold my s4i9506 and got htc one.which is much better than so called s4 with 800 snapdragon processer.it is weird that samsung having much more powerful processer than htc one is laggy;and the knox thing is pissing everyone off!!

I have been using htc one for last one week and i havent seen any lag yet.
[Galaxy S 4 General] seniorbrusko:
Sadly the data plan network on our country have no HTC One supplies, i would to get hands on it really. Also I am shock by the mods and also CM, i though Galaxy Line are the modfest.
[Galaxy S 4 General] DiDA™:
Yes, I agree on this also.

I had an S3 before and I have to say that Devs were going crazy making new Roms/Tweaks and kernels almost every day!

I thought the GS4 would be even more crazier but turns out that it isn't. Should've got that Nexus 5 :|
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] importiconep3:

You can use the safe root method which can be found using the search. I believe it was developed for the s4. And I believe 4.3 supports move to SD as long as the app supports it

I've just bought a HTC Charmer (T-mobile MDA Compact2). As I was looking for a french rom, I've read that the charmer was nearly the same (or exactly ?) pda as the Wizard. So As I've found a french rom for wizard, I tried to flash the charmer with it, thinking that if it was not good, it would reject the rom... Or, the flashing process has gone well till the 100% but now, the phone does not even want to light on.... :shock: :(

Do you think there's something possible to do ?? :?:

Thanks a lot for your help, I really need it !!!!

You can put your device in bootloader mode?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] andrew_sh:
What symptoms do you have exactly? No led, no backlight, no text on the screen, no charging? What happens if you try to enter the bootloader?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] eagleamon:
Thanks for your interest.

In fact, after the flashing process, the phone switch off, and now, I cannot switch it on, if I put the usb cable, the pc does not detect anything, but the led ...

I let the beginnning but finally it starts !!!! :p

Yesterday, I disconnected the battery so as the secure one discharge also, and a few minutes ago, I put it on the 220V without hope and the led lighted ! :p and no it starts, but in German .. (I do not really understand this..)

So do you think that I should retry the french wizard rom ? Or this try cannot work ?

If this is the case, does someone know where I could find the English Charmer Rom (I do not find the T-mobile download page anymore) or better a french one :p

Thanks a lot in all case !!! :P
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dalamario:
You flashed a charmer with a wizard ROM and it's working???

Well, i think that for you it's better to flash your device with a charmer ROM. On the ftp there is only a english ROM, not french.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] eagleamon:
No in fact it works again, but it's still in german ... :cry:

Could you please give me the link of the french rom ? I cannot find it... :oops:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] eagleamon:
Just a few more info...

So the phone works, in german, but there's someting really strange.. if I try to put it in bootlaoder mode, it's impossible, it switch off but do not swith on after, and not at all in fact, I have to get off the battery or put it on the charger so that it starts again...

And with the charger, after the boot, I can restart in bootloader mode, but at the second I unplug the charger, the phone switch off and it's not possible to restart witout the charger.....

Do you have an idea of what's happening ?? And how I could flash with an english rom ?? (doesn't work with the cradle USB cable..)

Thanks a lot !!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dalamario:
I think that the best thing to do is to flash the ROM with the WWE or German, as you like, you will find the ROMs on the Charmer section of the FTP.

Put your device in bootloader mode with the usb connected, then upgrade the ROM.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] eagleamon:
Indeed that would be the best solution but with the usb cable, it doesn't stay in bootloader mode, it switch off immediately ... :cry:

Do you know a reason of this behaviour ?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] eagleamon:
No one's got an idea .. ? :oops:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] eagleamon:
I'm still worry, so I do up :p
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] eagleamon:

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] anthropoidape:
Hi all, wondering if anyone else has had this problem. I use Aldiko a lot, and have it on my Note II, no problems. THe same epubs don't render correctly in Aldiko on my new 10.1-14. What appears to happen is that where there is an image in the epub, Aldiko just stops rendering the epub until it hits the end of the next image. In other words between two images there's nothing - not the images, and not the text in between either.

I am a bit puzzled as to why this would be happening on one device and not another... it means it's not the epub files themselves at least.

Has anyone else encountered this? Any thoughts?

So recently I got a Galaxy S3 SGH-1747 (AT&T) and I planned on putting straight talk service on it. I have everything set up but to use my mobile networking I have to set and ADN. To unlock my phone I have to downgrade to 4.1.1 (I'm using 4.1.2). I've tried googling the firmware, etc. The only link I have found for the download was from another thread on this forum and it limits the download to 50KB/s making the download take a very long time. If anyone could link me to a download that isn't limited that would be great. I appreciate all the help I can get and thanks for reading.

Hello everyone,

So I saw supercharger v8

Immediately downloaded it :p

Then I got that expected 'else' error

and I did some research and someone stated that the download was incomplete, redownloaded

I got the file again... Again same error

downloaded using 3 different computers, all the same, I even tried copying the script and make it into a notepad and give it the name v8.sh ... Still same error, if someone could help me out with this I would be very happy :d

Thanks in advance...

P.s. the file was every time I downloaded 45.6 kb instead of... Atleast it says on xda... 45.7 kb

Any ideas?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nila@ufl.edu:
Hey can you elaborate on this? I'm on Beans ROM and here's what I tried:

1) Turn off wifi.

2) *Enable bluetooth w/ visibility, add device from Windows 8 device manager, then disable bluetooth

3) Turn on BT tether from Settings - More Settings - Tethering

4) Right click BT icon in quick tray of Windows 8, click Join a Personal Area Network, right click the Note 3 and select Connect Using - Direct Connection.

What happens to me is that it says Connection Successful, and then immediately disconnects and shows a black timer on the Note 3 icon in Windows 8, then says the phone is offline in the bottom status bar. Anytime I try to connect it does that same. Maybe something with drivers? Thanks,

[General Questions and Answers] zroice:
Hello people,

I got a big problem:

TWRP won't restore my only backup. Unfortunately its encrypted...

The MD5 is alright and when checking the log it decrypts alright as well, but it fails on some firefox cache file in data/data.

So I would like to manually decrypt and extract the files (at least as much as possible) but I can't figure out how.

---

I know TWRP uses openaes for encryption. So I tried to run the following command on the backup files to decrpyt them:

openaes dec --key "p@$$w0rd" --in backup-file --out backup-file.tar

But the resulting tar is not valid. So the password must be incorrect. (the password I wrote is not the one I used in TWRP to create the backup, but its a similar one with special symbols).

Someone please tell me how to hand the password to openaes correctly so it decrypts the backup file actually.

Given the password "p@$$w0rd" as example..?
[General Questions and Answers] poku:
no special characters in TWRP openaes passwords

Late answer, but hey:

Your command seems correct. Make sure you use the same version of openaes (usually 0.7.0) as TWRP (you can find openaes version info in the log file along with you backups) .

When you try to make a new encrypted backup using TWRP you will recognize that most special characters are ignored for password input (except _ underscore).

So not your password was used for encryption, but simply the same without (almost) all special characters!
[General Questions and Answers] Ciprum:
If you can't remember the password, sorry but... you are screwed.

The command you're using seems to work.

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] markgamber:
You're not connected to the internet with that data package, you're connected to tzones which allows 6 or so ports and yes, there's a huge difference. To be able to use any port, and any messenger app, that you want, you need the full internet plan. There are caveats, do a search and you'll find them, but they aren't going to be around much longer.
