[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neopheX:
G'day

I have decided that it's about time to get a custom room booted on my S4 (unbranded) as i've had it stock since launch and haven't really had much need to get a custom one on there, but I have the itch again to get rom(ing).

I was an avid rom user on the S2, but haven't bothered any time after that and I am very much out of the loop.

I have just a couple easy questions that should be easy for you guys to help me out on.

What's the best rom to use to date for this device? Along with a modem for Telstra (4G) and what kernel for battery life etc?

And do i still need to use that little mini usb adapter to remove the Triangle (not sure if this is still present on the s4 as it was on the s2)

:good:

Could you please kindly share it with the bodies, if you have one?

I do think there are a lot of peers who use Simplified Chinese Version could not use Wifi function.

Thank you very much, if you have one.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jackleung:
Have U try the rom from HK and Taiwan?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] piscesu:
Nope, but I don't think the rom from HK and Taiwan can work as the simplified Chinese...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jackleung:
But at least make sure wifi is not disable in hardware first before spending time to patch it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] piscesu:
Yes, you are right. The HK and TW version will have wifi function but with the simplified chinese rom the wifi will be lost. So the wifi patch is strongly needed...

BTW: Did you know some Chinese rom for the Dopod P100? One of my friends have been searching for the Simplified Chinese Version rom for a whole month....

Recently brought my GS3 I747M back to life from a hard brick... and I flashed it to stock 4.0.4 rom via odin when doing so.Would I be able to upgrade it directly to stock 4.4.2 using odin? Or do I need to upgrade it to earlier version first, like 4.1 and 4.3? (phone is already rooted, so cant do it thru OTA). Thanks!

You can flash it with odin, but will need to factory reset too.

If you are an avid user of Whatsapp, then you must have encountered one of those situations in which you get a picture and when you open it, the picture turns into something else.

For example- you get a picture. the thumbnail shows a pic of a girl, and when you tap on it, a picture of a bear appears instead.

I've found out that pictures like these are made using apps like FhumbApp(iOS) and MagiApp(Android).

Everyone knows that there are many fakes for samsung phones. specially korean and vietnam as I know. So I want to buy a real original Galaxy S III I9305 . So Can you tell me some real ways to find out that it is a original or fake? What are the tricks to detect the original? What are the special features in the original one

And I want to know Can I change the full housing of Galaxy S III I9305. Can I get original full housing with silver line and back cover from anywhere?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] user_011:
try

If the price seems to good to be true, its fake

A few clues in this video h t t p : / / w w w . youtube.com/watch?v=znIXpN-vhSk , just remove the spaces

just remember not all fakes are the same spec

hands on experience is the best way to tell

go to a few shops and ask to look at a copy s3 first, then ask for orignal to look at

go to settings / about device and look at the model number (my fake s4 had a flashing cursor here and you could change the name to what you wanted)

then select status and scroll to the bottom where it should say Official

My directions are on the gentoo forums, in the install section at https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-7604764.html

Don't attempt this if you don't know how to install gentoo, build tools from AOSP, or unbrick your device!

I don't have any ROMs for a gentoo install, at the moment, but I will probably eventually provide a way to flash an image or two, with a stage3 + wifi + dhcpcd + sshd added to the default rc runlevel. Please keep in mind, if you didn't read the source and compile it yourself, you don't know what's in the binary.
[Nexus 7 General] deadram:
So it looks like I'm getting closer. From what I can tell, ubuntu is booting into the system (or root) partition, with an initramfs image that creates a chroot. They "pause" the loading of the Android OS, and boot into the chroot environment.

I've found abootimg though, and I'm thinking a properly grep'ed and hacked AOSP kernel can have most of the 'forced' directories and option changed, or set in the boot command line. I'm going to try kernel builds in my gentoo chroot, from the ubuntu install on the nexus 7. I'll have to at least get boot backups working in "TWRP 2.7 - Nexus 7" but that should be easy with cat, dd, and a system+userdata partition to reliably mount.

I'm aiming to get a kernel that boots into mmcblk0p9 (or userdata) without an initramfs, or any playing around with the system partition. I'd like to eventually use the recovery boot as a boot into a 'gentoo minimal cd' image, stored on the system partition.

Anywho, 8 more posts away from adding links and images :eek:
[Nexus 7 General] dvijetrecine:
well, i can't help, but i can cheer for you to succeed :D
[Nexus 7 General] deadram:
Well, looks like I got wifi, battery status, usb keyboard, backlight control, getty term, cpu gov, and most everything that works in ubuntu working.

Haven't built Xorg yet, but I'm sure that'll work too, and haven't tested bluetooth yet, but I'm sure it'll work too.

Directions are on the gentoo install forum board, if you have trouble following them, just ask me for help :)

I'll be configuring and building gentoo for the next week or so, but maybe in a month, I'll set-up some flash-able images. I'm using the ubuntu kernel for now (derived from the AOSP kernel, as far as I can tell), but I'll probably try a few more build of the gentoo kernel.

By the by, doing "emerge -1 system" with MAKEOPTS="-j5" and it's eating my battery, about 1% every 5 minutes, plugged into ac charger, so just be carefully when building gentoo, and watch your battery status ("cat /sys/devices/platform/tegra-i2c.4/i2c-4/4-0055/power_supply/battery/capacity" to view current battery %)
[Nexus 7 General] crache:
It might be best to cross compile from another device. I'm thinking that a lot of write activity will wear out the internal storage faster?

You could then host portage from said device and access packages over the network.

Is libhybris part of your plan?

What about booting "toram" from a squashfs filesystem stored on "sdcard". This could allow coexistence with the default filesystem as well as increased performance.
[Nexus 7 General] deadram:
It would be a little faster, but more time consuming to set-up. That would be outside the scope of this tiny pseudo tutorial anyways :)

True, but I'd guess that's a 10 to 20 year process. Most phones are ssd, and last about that long... some laptops come with ssd drives, they wouldn't if they didn't last ~some~ amount of time. Besides - if cell phones are any indication of the future - I'll have cracked the screen by then, or dropped it in the toilet :P

Nope, my plan is to have only gentoo on my tiny box. I may eventually look into setting up android in a chroot, if you google it, someone has done that before, on a different device. If i remember correctly, it booted Debian, then set-up the android chroot, and passed graphics control off to android.

Well, if you wanted that, you could set it up that way. I'm looking to get Xorg up and running, lighttpd, firefox, and wine (for ie), and set-up a portable web development tablet. I'm turning this toy into a computer :)

That said, when i get around to making the "install CD" or image file, it'll probably be a 650-400MB image file, compatible with multiboot, and it'll be up to you to figure out the finer details. That is the idea behind gentoo anyways, to fine tune your system to how you want, and not how someone else thinks is best.

----

As an aside, after playing with cpufreq for a while, and wifi, I have a feeling my battery problem has more to do with the screen being powered. Apparently there isn't a way to turn off the power to the GPU and LCD from VT, without a working Xorg server. At least none that I can find.
[Nexus 7 General] deadram:
Well I got a few more things working. Check the gentoo forum link at the top for more info. By the by, posting from my nexus 7 gentoo install using xorg and firefox 31.0.
[Nexus 7 General] deadram:
Looks like I've got the kernel thinned out, and a few more things on the go. Check the gentoo forum link for the details.

Should have an install image within a couple months. Next steps are hacking the kernel drivers a bit, and then building a website for my wife (That's how I tricked her into letting me buy this thing in the first place, but don't let her know that! XD), and then figuring out the install image.

The only reason you can not zoom is that the lower res photos are a 'fake zoom' (digital zoom)
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom General] rorijam:
not really a zoom

thats true, when You use zoom what really happens is that the software is simulating zoom by showing a smaller part of the 2MP picture. I recomend to take photos at VGA resolution if You would like to experiment with ¨zoom¨

I bought my Xperia Z a year ago and the phone worked perfectly all the time but everything changed yesterday.

Yesterday when I was playing Modern Combat 5 on my Xperia Z, the screen suddenly went black and I thought it was just a reboot.

However it wasn't going to reboot - the phone powered off! I have to switch it on manually and nightmares were approaching.

Then, the condition became more and more serious and the phone often automatically powered off.

I thought it was rom related so I re-flashed stock rom via Flashtool and wiped everything this morning.

Now it's even not able to boot - powers off when displaying boot animation.

If the phone is connected to a charger, it won't power off and works like before.

Why and how can this problem be solved?

Thanks!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bavarezul13:
If reflashing hadn't worked, then most probably it's a hardware related issue. In most countries warranty is 24 months for a product. It's been less than 24 months since Xperia z launched so i guess you still have warranty. The best thing you could do is to send the phone for repairs.

i got both stock roms and my unit is the X110 from cherry mobile which is omega infinity. i tried using the GO NX stock rom based on YUNOS it keeps me bothering why my phone doesnt recognize my sim and the baseband is unknown.

i tried different methods:

from my x110 stock based on MYui rom i tried flashing GO NX based roms signal is working but media storage/internal storage is missing on file manager.so my best guess is both stock roms have different partition system.

now i tried flashing GO NX stock rom this time with a working internal storage but baseband is unknown and sim is not detected.i tied many methods like imei restore and nvram restore still fail also did the ril push files into lib folder using file explorer still fail. imcurrently frustrated and no idea what to fix from here.

is there a way to copy the partition system of the GO NX rom and use it on my current stock rom then from there i can flash roms based on GO NX ?so i will have both working internal storage and baseband?

Only the stock extended battery door will offer you any meaningful assurance that it is really water resistant. Third party battery doors may have the gasket but how can you discern their quality control i.e. whether the gasket really works as promised? You can't unless it's a major brand name vendor whom you trust when they say that their products meet specs.Or if some trustworthy third party undertakes to test non-OEM parts.

If you want to gamble, Ebay, et al have lots of Chinese battery doors which may or may not actually seal against water.
