[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Here are my instructions for getting custom roms on new (4.4.2):

First, obtain root. Go to your Settings/Security, check "allow installation from unknown sources". Go to www.towelroot.com , click on the lambda, install the towelroot.apk, then open it and hit "make it ra1n". After reboot, download SuperSU. Open it, it will prompt you to update binaries, do so using the "normal" option. Congrats, you're rooted.

The only custom recovery you can have on NC5 is Safestrap, no TWRP or CWM. You can only flash TW rom's and a select few GPE rom's. You need to use AT&T's 3.72 safestrap for kit kat rom's, which can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2448925

To install safestrap, first install busybox. Find it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d....busybox&hl=en

Then, change selinux status to permissive. Do this by using selinux mode changer: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d....selinux&hl=en

Now install the safestrap apk, open it and hit the install recovery button.

To flash a kit kat rom with SS 3.72, you must use the "stock" slot. ROM slots don't work. You can still make a backup of your stock rom incase anything goes wrong. Be warned, you should have Odin and an NC5 tar file ready to go at all times on your comp.

So, you install the rom like you normally do with TWRP or CWM. Wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, system. Then flash rom, modules, and SuperSU.

The NC5 modules are here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23486521113837640

The SuperSU zip is here: http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1538053

If you forget to flash SuperSU, you may lose root. You can still get it back by using towelroot. If Wifi isn't turning on, try going back into Safestrap and flashing this: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23487008491963696

To install one of the Google Play Edition ROM's, use the directions in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/gala...ition-t2817708

Hi everyone.

I decided to update my CM 10.2 to CM 11.0 following this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2517092 and everything went fine.... Only problem is that I've lost the speaker sound for everything (notifications, calls, music, etc) Headphones sound work just fine.

I played with all volume controls and checkboxes, SoundAbout app, I tried "Wipe Data / Factory Reset", "Wipe Cache", "Wipe Dalvik Cache", Reflashing, with no luck.

I also don't believe it's hardware related because it was working fine before updating the ROM.

I would like to try any suggestions before I have to go back to stock.

Thank you.

Update1: Managed to go back to 10.2 (4.3.1) and there is still no speaker sound =/

Update2(solved): alright it turns out it really was a hardware related problem, I pushed the metal net thingy on the speaker using a paper clip and it started working.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] calebcabob:
I'm trying to share Pandora.apk with my friend who also has an M8. It's just saying "App Not Installed"...BUT every other time I've shared this exact file with him when he's had other devices, it installed perfectly. I'm even able to send him other apk files without an issue - they all install fine. And this particular Pandora apk file is able to be shared/installed with others. Anyways, with him, on his Verizon HTC One M8, it's JUST the Pandora apk that won't work. I think it may have something to do with the 4.4.3 OTA or a certificate issue..?

Yes, he has "Unknown Sources" checked. No, he isn't rooted or anything.

This is just really bugging me!!:p

Any ideas?

Does these problems can be solved with customs roms? Or should i stay with my s3?

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cristianpark:
I had a S3 i747 and I was pretty satisfied with it, I had it with CM11 and just love it badly and think that an S4 upgrade will be unnecesary because I didn't see why the people get excited when it was first launched.

Recently I had the oportunity of hold a S4 in my hands and I see that is not larger than a S3 and I liked so much its design, the size of the LED button, its screen size and the quadcore procesosr improvement also was good so I decide to go for a S4. I bought a second hand i337m S4 for about US 300 after sold my i747 in about US 250 so it was a no thinking situation for me. I haven't noticed any annoying bug on stock rom, the camera app was pretty cool with plenty of effects and WatchOn app was great to control your TV. I'm a hardened CM fan so I can't wait to see it on my cellphone so I installed it and so far (I have CM for about 5 days now) the only bug I have see is that while the phone is charging, you can't power on the cellphone (you just have to disconnect it and power on, not a big deal), for TV control I use Peel Smart Remote App and it works just as good as Samsung's app

In conclusion: I would say that if you feel good with your S3 you have no particular need for buy a S4 (probably get the same experience with some improvements) but if you have the oportunity of upgrade at a good price, then go for it
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkerTimes:
Hi,

some users have problems with Kitkat and some don't.

In general custom roms are running better than the original system. My guess. I'm very satisfied with S4 developed custom roms ;)

It is your choice. There aren't any big hardware changes except full HD screen and camera quality.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] one-option:
I had S3 and I have now S4 (i9500) with Kitkat update, S4 have 2 GB Memory (S3 only 1 GB) & it is more smooth than S3, S4 also doesn't lag as much as S3 do.

in general S4 is a nice update for your current S3, but if you want my advice try to get S5, the screen in S5 is way more accurate and better than S4 screen, the battery also is more powerful.

it depends on how much you are ready to pay $.

Have you unlocked your bootloader? You cannot flash a kernel if you have not done that.

In future a full log from flashtool is very useful to people trying to help you, as well what kernel and rom you are trying to flash....

Hey Guys, i have connection problems on Dirty Unicorns and PA, didn't try other ones. On Stock everything works fine.

When i try to connect to my Wifi, it always gets stuck on authenticating.. and nothing happens, but on stock rom i can connect to my Wifi. The problem occurs just on my home Wifi, other networks have no problems. I already searched the web but i haven't found anything useful, and the configuration of my router is okay. Tried different passwords, securities, tried without password.. but had no luck. In the past it helped to set the wifi country code to Germany but also this doesn't work.

Hope you can help me! :)

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t4n017:
Yes, static IP fixes the loop, but in my own experience when screen is off you loose the connection and it take some seconds to re-connect after you turn on the screen.

The problem is on CM kernel and as other ROM (like PA) uses it you'll have problem on them too. It only happens on some networks though.

It started since interviglium updated the prima driver (almost 2 months ago), but as he doesn't have the bug on his networks he can't debug and fix it.

I decided to build PA but with Gummy kernel which is more stable and doesn't have this bug.

If you want taste it look at my signature.

[Sprint LG G2] midskool:
Hi everyone.

I live in Pakistan and I have just bought a used LG G2 LS-980 32GB Sprint Variant. and it's working perfectly fine.

It's running official 4.2. It's rooted and SUPER SU as well as Busy Box is also installed on it. I don't know if any custom recovery is currently installed on it neither I know how to check it.

** Points to remember, Sprint is not a Network currently present in Pakistan.

I've been using a local network "Mobilink" . Mobilink is using the following frequency( GSM on 900 MHZ & 1800 MHZ & 3G on 2100 MHZ) on my G2.

I am not sure whether it has been unlocked to work here in Pakistan with local networks or not.

Now I want to upgrade to it's official 4.4 so please guide me the procedure. Also I want to make sure that my local network "Mobilink" will work on it after upgrading to 4.4.

- Thanks

Hello guys

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Why not just unlock the bootloader? Your warranty isn't affected by it. You lose nothing by unlocking it, and you gain nothing by leaving it locked.

Transmitted via Bacon
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3thstalker:
Like [MENTION=4153349]timmaaa[/MENTION] mentioned, you lose nothing when you unlock bootloader. Not only that, it is the recommended and futureproof approach to do so. Unlocking the bootloader wipes your phone completly clean. Suppose somewhere down the road you want to try different ROMs, you'd realize you cannot do so without losing your data. So you'r much better off unlocaking your bootlaoder right now.

But to answer your question, no. It is not possible at a simpler level. Unlocking the bootlaoder give you access to all the partitions on the phone. What you need access to specifically is the recovery partition so you could flash a custom recovery and install the SU binaries onto your system. through that recovery.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
What others have said, unlock the bootloader there's no problem with leaving it unlocked.

You're given the key to unlock the bootloader using a command. Use it and make your life simple. It's like saying you have the key to your house but you want to get inside the house without unlocking the door. Just use the key and make it simple.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beastlykings:
Perhaps you felt like I did, worried that you are ruining your phone or your ota ability.

Unlocking the Bootloader is painless aside from having to reinstall all your programs. Everyone says it wipes the os, but what they don't tell you is that you don't have to dig around looking for the proper version to reinstall. You just type a code, and the phone reboots fresh like a factory reset, ready to go. And installing the custom recovery is easy, and it works perfectly with ota updates.
