I have broken my htc one I got from my brother so I am back to using the sgs4 I have, never planed to use the htc one for so long it just happens that way because of the speakers I used it to play music at work anyways I am going to use the sgs4 and root/rom it

I have rooted/romed in the past with my sgs1 using cm9 and used odin so I understand most thigns

not sure what info is useless here since I have been out of this for a while now, I actually posted about this same topic a while ago but then I got a htc one and with my ADD I forgot about this

Android 4.3

Software L720VPUEMK2

Hardware: L720.08

Baseband L720VPUEMK2

Kernel 3.4.0-1927016 se.infra@R0301-10#1 Sat Nov 16 11:05:09 KST 2013

Build JSS15J.L720VPUEMK2

SELinux Status: Enforcing SEPF_SPH-L720_4.3_0012

I assume I have to root first and then go from there - or can I just odin and have everything I need? I hate using odin so I want to use that as little as I can

do I have to odin since I have everything updated stock?

basically I am asking what do I have to do now, I have been reading for a few hours now and I have been out of this scene for a while now and its hard to get the answers by reading everything since there is lots of stuff not related to what I want and people have been doing this for a while and the phone has been out for a while now so its hard not being in this from the beginning

thanks for your help

Safe Root works great for our phone. Here is the link: http://www.droidviews.com/root-verizon-galaxy-s4-sch-i545-on-android-4-3-vruemk2/ . I know, it takes you off of xda, but you can root your phone with out using odin. It is quick and easy. You can then install a twrp through goo manager. No need to use odin for that. Good luck.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] btoddweber:
I used CF Auto root. Its awesome.

Then I used ROM manager from the market to flash in CWM.

In my reading I saw most.the recoveries being used were Philz and TWRP.

So after I let ROM manager flash CWM I DL.the latest Philz zip and flashed it from recovery.

Made many a nandroid and jump from TW to AOSP every day. *****The one thing you need to know is....have SE Linux checked under misc nandroid settings****otherwise it's no fun.

If you say "Please" be sure to "Hit Thanks!!!"
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] leftkidney:
so I have used cf auto root and installed cwm the rommanager that worked pretty well

I will assume that installing roms is the same as before after this

I am glad to see that things have been simplified here I will post back if I have problems again

I am wondering what is the best rom for me, I dont really care much if I have the touchwiz I used midnightrom and CM9 on my sgs1 epic before and loved it the lack of touchwiz wasnt a problem for me - I dont like any of the samsung apps at all and never want to use the sprint apps, I would not like it if the widgets go away I use those for my btc prices and my mining rig hashrate

I could use a stock rom for this phone if all the crappy sprint apps have been removed

like I said I have been out of this game for a while and at the time CM9 was just about the best rom out so I used that, all the others were good just didnt have as many features
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] nobody291:
Everyone has their own preferences, so you just need to look at what's available. The great thing about Android is that there are so many options, but that creates a fair amount of work too. With root you can delete whatever app you want, so bloatware isn't much of an issue. To see what apps are safe to remove, most ROM developers post what they remove. You can also freeze the apps using things like Titanium Backup, so that you can easily restore them if you decide you want something back.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] leftkidney:
yea I know there are lots of roms, what are some of the most stable roms out - I can see that the cyanogenmod is only nightly builds nothing stable is that a problem, I havent seen CM in this forums on the first few pages so is it not one of the better ones anymore?

what are a few of the most stable roms that have most of the features that would be needed - nothing that has strange glitches like in the past there were problems with GPS working and a few other things

What you are asking for is HERE in these forums. PLEASE do your own searching and research for these answers This particular question "..Best ROM" is one of the biggest no no's across all XDA.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] leftkidney:
you are absolutely right I dont know why I even asked that "best rom" it was stupid I admit it I feel stupid about that one I dont want to say I mistyped but I wasnt thinking I totally understand the reason why its a bad question to ask and why there isnt a real answer so I am sorry and I do know its one of those things you dont ask I have read that in the past but I forgot or something

what I ment to say was mainly what roms are the most complete in the sense that they have all the things working that should be like gps/wifi/4g/lte things like that, in the past a few roms were missing things like that

are there any that certain apps wont work for? I use and rely on "no led" app I just love the way it shows the colored icons on screen
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] nobody291:
The big split in ROMs is between touchwiz and AOSP. Touchwiz is Samsung's layer on top of the core Android Google produces. Some features like multi-window, the standard Samsung keyboard, air gesture, etc. rely on touchwiz to work. I'm sure you can find a complete list of what relies on touchwiz to see if any of it is important to you. I think most ROMs will have all radios working, but like others have said, just make sure to have backups of your current setup to go back to and experiment, and since you already have the MK2 modem, make sure whatever ROM you choose is compatible with MK2. It doesn't take all that long to flash different ROMs and see what you think.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but custom ROMs just take existing modules and combine them to save you work. But, you can start with the stock rooted ROM and build your own experience from there too. Check out the hotspot mod, custom kernels, Xposed modules, various themes, and build something that works for you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] leftkidney:
so yea I dont really like the touchwiz interface I liked using the stock android theme my last phone had using CM9 so touchwiz isnt really needed

I do need to be able to use widgets though like the ones for apps that show me the prices of gold/silver my bitcoins/litecoins and the mining speed from my miners using the api I have - dont some of the widgets need touchwiz to work, not the touchwiz widgets but the ones that apps create

I have installed roms before so I know its not hard but once you get into this things can get out of control and after a while you find your self having to use odin and then things get scary cuz lets face it who really likes using odin unless something has changed from last year odin is just about the only thing that could really brick your phone if something goes wrong

thanks for your help I will give it a go and hope nothing bad happens
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] cruise350:
If you don't like touchwiz, but want the full functionality of you phone features. Why not use a different launcher? There are a lot to choose from.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] nobody291:
In my experience, there are Samsung widgets that not only require touchwiz, but also require Samsung's launcher. I use several widgets designed for multiple Android devices, and I don't think they care about touchwiz.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] leftkidney:
you mean just install a different launcher?

I dont want any of the sprint crap on the phone either no need for sprint news and all that crap

wouldnt just installing a different launcher just be a skin you cant remove touchwiz from what I remember so I need a rom that doesent have touchwiz in it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] cruise350:
Yes, you had stressed earlier that you wanted all things working. If you want any of the S features to work on your phone than you need to keep touchwiz as your base rom. Installing a different launcher can give you that. If you like the look of AOSP, there is a new google now launcher that can provide more of an AOSP look. You can remove a lot of the bloat and sprint stuff fairly easily with TiBu or a root file explorer. Just be cautious, removing some of the Sprint stuff will screw up your phone and cause the ability to update PRL or Profile to fail.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] leftkidney:
yea wanted all things working but I guess after looking at it I dont use much of the "S" features if at all so I will just have to try some out and see whats up

one thing I was wondering about is the "gapps" in the past I had to make sure it was the exact right one for the exact rom I was using but now I dont see much about saying a specific version of gapps for the roms rather just to install gapps and get the latest one - so the gapps that would be for the sprint phone should work for the roms?

I do however like the feature where you wave your hand over the screen when its off and it lights up to show you the time and info, it would suck if that went away but I can deal with it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] leftkidney:
I would like to know if there are any problems with using the samsung tec tiles, those NFC sticker tags with other roms that wouldnt have any touchwiz stuff

I assume that they are just NFC so they should work but I want to be sure
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] leftkidney:
I havent installed a rom yet been busy - but I did get root

I noticed I have an OTA update waiting, I assume its 4.4 so if I update will I have problems rooting or remove root and make installing roms hard?

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] 3GuserMW_MY:
Some 2G SIM cards can also be used to access 3G networks and 3G services(these type of sim cards is sometimes used, for example in 3 Hong Kong). Some 3G SIM cards (like the ones they have on 3 Australia) are just 3G sim cards, meaning they wont work on 2G phones.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Carty:
3G needs a special technology which is not available in mini' hardware. Mini users have to just stop with what we already have as they wont even release a WM5 i think so.

However to use 3G effectively you need a cam in the display's front!

Re: 3g

Are you able to download at 3G speed? Pointless having a 3G simcard if you can't go faster than GPRS.

If a phone doesn't support UMTS then you won't get a faster speed than GPRS (or EDGE) no matter what sim you put in it.

Hi there, I have something in mind on how to do it in my own easy- lazy way :D Thanks in advance :good:

1. pull bootanimation.zip on my ROM

2. extract bootanimation.zip (it has part0 & part1 & desc)

3. edit size of all .png in your bootanimation (480x800 my screen size)

4. then copy and paste all modified .png to my rom's bootanimation folder (part0) and .zip it back.

Now my question is:

1. will it work?

2. my rom's bootanimation.zip has 2 folders inside, part0 & part1. Is it safe to delete part1?

3. i want to add text below the animation "Google" like "CynogenMod", possible?

Here's my rom's bootanimation.

[Android Themes] EnricoD:
2. my rom's bootanimation.zip has 2 folders inside, part0 & part1. Is it safe to delete part1?

No. part1 is defined in desc.txt so You should use bootanimation factory to redo the bootanimation :)

Use the Nexus 4 bootanimation to mantain proportions.

Extract to the desktop and mantain the structure...

Then open all the frames inside paint.net and use

RESIZE

Do this for all the frames.

Once You're done, download this Cyanogenmod layer

Open all the Google's boot frames, add the Cyanogenmod layer and center using Align Object tool.

then select Layer Properties and select additive

save selecting PNG format and "Flatten"

make this for all frames...

Then simply use the istructions above to make the bootanimation.zip using bootanimation factory :)
