Good also for ZNUHNH4?

Hi there,

I have just bought a brand new ZNUHNH4 with 4.3 on and just downloaded a 4.4. update (I9502ZNUHNH4_I9502CHUHNH4_CHU.zip) from SamMobile to upgrade to.

I only noticed your ROM and this thread afterwards, now I am standing by.

Questions:

Would your ROM work also for this baseband?

If yes, can I install it right away over the original 4.3 or I should upgrade to 4.4 first?

Unfortunately, there is no 5.0.1 for this baseband on sammobile.

Let me know.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Csani:
I flashed the TWRP you attached here (and also tried T_CWM_6.0.3.2_I9500.tar from clockwordmod.com) using Odin3 3.09 but the phone does not load/get to recovery.

It loads the system as usual, with no sign of TWRP.

I suspect it is because I need your step 3 above first(?)

If yes, is there any reason why you did not put it as first step?

Now for step 3, the youtube link does not work any more (account deleted). Can you please specify another working link?

Thanks.

[Galaxy S 4 General] Csani:
Yes, the one about twrp-2.8.7.0-i9500.img, right?

Actually, I could get into TWRP in the meantime (some of the times).

1. My first issue seems to have been that I did not wait for Odin to reach the green "PASS!" stage but disconnected during "RESET!" as it lasted so long I thought I could disconnect already.

And because that might not be straight-forward to everyone, some additional instructions could be included in the OP:

2. My second issue: Another useful additional step/instruction is I think:

Additional log from my progress: My plan was to first upgrade to 4.4.2 and then attempt 5.0.1 from here.

I lost GApps (Play, Play Services) after flashing 4.4.2 I9502ZNUHNH4_I9502CHUHNH4_CHU.zip (which, by the way, was still deeply rooted in Chinese stuff) and so I was struggling to get them back. In short: OpenGApps Stock and mini, both gave error that not enough space is in /system. Need fully wipe/format data, Dalvik cache, cache and /system - from TWRP.

Update: Finally, I had decided I would jump straight into 5.0.1 from that point so I made the backup, deleted/copied backup files and did a Restore as you instructed.

Result: your ROM has just booted up (had to wait a frustrating 2-3 minutes at the new SAMSUNG logo, indeed... :))!

Google Play works, as well.

BIG THANKS!

(Button pressed ;))

Known(?) issues

I am reporting a few issues I have found with this ROM.

Can you guys acknowledge any of them (that also your installation is having them)?

Settings/ACCOUNTS/Cloud:

Opening it results in an empty page, only the Back button works.

Settings/MY DEVICE/Sounds and notifications/Adapt Sound:

Trying to open it, Settings crashes.

"Unfortunately, Settings has stopped./OK". Clicking OK warps me back to Settings main page. Seems like all the previous settings changes are preserved, so no changes are lost.

Settings/MORE/Security/Remote controls:

1. Cannot switch it on in the upper right corner (tapping, sliding doesn't do anything)

There is an empty space/placeholder below "Account registration". Tapping on the empty space crashes Settings.

Settings/MORE/Security/SIM change alert:

Tapping on it crashes Settings

Settings/MORE/Security/Credential storage/Storage type:

Tapping on it, apparently nothing happens.

Settings/MORE/Security/Credential storage/About device:

Tapping on "Report diagnose info" (which is an unchecked checkbox), nothing happens.

In Google Play Store, apparently there is a hidden country/region info which the store retrieves and filters available apps when e.g. searching for apps. For example, I am trying to install BT Sport app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bt.btsport&hl=en_GB but:

1. Search in Play Store does not list it

2. On the above website page, I am getting "This app is incompatible with all of your devices."

Why? And how to bypass/install?
[Galaxy S 4 General] sasiskas:
I'm back :D I want to thank everyone for the good comments and everyone who helped wile I was away.

Thank you for the feedback

Regarding the bugs in settings are known, as I say in the "Known Issues" part on my first post, these bugs are caused because they are linked to the Samsung account that I have removed, but I left these options in the settings menu in case someone wants to reinstall Samsung account.

Regarding the Play store, it has nothing to do with with this ROM, it is just how the Play store works. The simplest way to bypass it, is to find and download the app you like from any website on the internet and then install it on the phone..(but be careful to download from a valid website so that you do not download any virus)

Regarding Adapt Sound, I will upload a fix soon

[Galaxy S 4 General] Csani:
Got it, OK and thanks - but I cannot see a way to add/reinstall a Samsung account. Can you pls instruct?

I see. However, why would the Play store work that way, when I am using a quite compatible smartphone when I try to download quite a lot of apps and I am getting a "This app is incompatible with all your devices"?

There must be a stuck setting somewhere in the ROM which still tells Play store that my device is a Chinese device and that is why it blocks me from installing basically any UK-related app (starting from BT Sports/My BT/BT Wifi through KFC app and so on).

Any ideas there?

Will check your new ROM ASAP, thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 General] sasiskas:
I will make a post in the next days

try using an app called "market helper" (see attached picture).

if you are a football fan use this app "433", it is my favorite
[Galaxy S 4 General] Csani:
Cool, thanks, will check them out.

In the meantime I have found some hints on google forums that I need to reset my Play Store payment methods to be able to install country-restricted apps.

If the howto works I will post the URL.
[Galaxy S 4 General] sasiskas:
Not being compatible with your device is one thing, but not being available in your country is a different thing. The app I suggested in my previous post is in case an app is not compatible with the device. About the country restriction you try a VPN but still I don't know if it is going to work.

Anyhow I think this is getting out of topic, I hope I helped you. If you manage to fix it, let me know. Good luck.

I9502znucmf2

Hi Sasiskas, thumbs up for the work done on the GT-19502 ROM, I have been reading this forum with interest in view that I am still running 4.2.2 and have finally some spare time to update, and of course I would like to go to the latest version and stumbled upon this thread. I have a question, even though my S4 is obviously unicom my baseband is I9502ZNUCMF2, funnily enough I have not managed to find this listed in sammobile, so the crux of the question is will this rom work on my S4, any suggested course of actions (eg install stock then 1.2 and 1.3.1) would also be appreciated.
[Galaxy S 4 General] sasiskas:
Your baseband indicates your firmware version, it's just an older firmware. It does not matter.

In general all you have to do is to install version 1.2 and then 1.3.1. You can find detailed instructions on my first post.
[Galaxy S 4 General] jinx1986:
Hey OP thanks for this cool Rom.I'm having a lil problem with update 1.3.1,somehow touchwiz keeps crashing.just wanted to report that bug.
[Galaxy S 4 General] sasiskas:
Thank you for the feedback, download one of the two versions attached below

There are two files attached:

one is S6 Touchwiz 4x6 (some people still report that this version is crashing)

and the second one is the classic S4 Touchwiz 4x5 (This is the original and Stable version)
[Galaxy S 4 General] missk1126:
Hi.thanks for the rom but i have some question,how do you get rid of the 3minbattery even though i uninstalled it already?the battery icon is still in the status bar.and touchwiz has stopped too.i followed the instructions repeatedly but still problem persist
[Galaxy S 4 General] missk1126:
Edit,in my files,i want to sort it but there is no option
[Galaxy S 4 General] St4mi:
You have to get rid of the "modded" systemui.apk.

Exchange it with the stock one from the firmware.

[Galaxy S 4 General] sasiskas:
[MENTION=4978774]missk1126[/MENTION]

[MENTION=3667700]stami[/MENTION]

If you do that you will lose some modifications that I have made, such as:

-Removed Airplane mode confirmation dialog

-3minitBattery

-Network Stats On status bar (settings->connections->more networks->Network Traffic)

-Removed SIM icon from status bar in order to save some space

-Removed Sfinder and Quick connect from Pull down menu

-Maybe something else as well

That may also cause instability issues.

The most accurate way to do it, is to edit the files, if you have experience you can follow the instructions from 3minit website. If you don't have experience better stick with 3minit battery mod. I has hundreds of mods, why do you want to remove it?

[Galaxy S 4 General] AxelRage92:
Looks great, I'm just excited to try it out (yeah, I'm still on the good old 4.3 Jelly Bean since December 2013, but it has several annoying bugs that can't be fixed and make me mad). But I have some questions before I start (sorry if some of them were asked before):

1. Is there an opportunity to make installed apps save their data to external SD like on 4.3? If yes, what else should I do except for having root that is already in the ROM?

2. May I put installed apps themselves to external SD? On 4.3 there is a button in app properties to do it, and if it was unavailable I used Link2SD to help, but the apps moved with Link2SD would crash after being updated through Google Play Market, so I don't consider using Link2SD for all huge apps I have.

3. I have a VERY useful tweak on my current ROM that makes clock in the statusbar acting like the power button on the side - when I tap it shortly, the phone locks and when I make a long tap, it brings the power off menu on the screen. Is it possible to make such a feature in your ROM? I just can't imagine my life now without that tiny thing.

4. What should I do in case if I want to come back to 4.3?

Thanks a lot in advance :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] missk1126:
thanks!already sorted it.about the battery mod,i just want the plain battery percentage,but can i install the battery mod again?if you have the chance to make more updates of the rom e.g. recent task list via menu key,it will be much appreciated.
[Galaxy S 4 General] sasiskas:
1. Just download and install 3Minit Battery App (Free)

2. The ROM is Xposed, you can download GravityBox[LP] and re-asign the buttons from there. (Warning don't change anything else because it might cause problems)
[Galaxy S 4 General] sasiskas:
1 &2. Moving apps to SD works the same way like 4.3. You can do it manually or use Link2SD.

3. I don't know this tweak, but personally I'm using "Nova Launcher Prime" and "Screen off and lock". That way I double tap my screen and it locks (like the new phones).

4. It is possible to go back to 4.3, but I have never tried it, I don't if it is easy or not. If you search, I'm sure you will find a guide.

[Galaxy S 4 General] AxelRage92:
The Russian localization is poor compared to SVA ROM 5.0.1 I'm currently using... That's sad.
[Galaxy S 4 General] sasiskas:
thank you for your feedback. can you be more specific? where is the localization poor? on some particular apps? everywhere?
[Galaxy S 4 General] bryan_mmx:
is the mms.apk updated to fix the callerid mismatching issue?
[Galaxy S 4 General] AxelRage92:
Everywhere, unfortunately. In settings, phone menu overall and many stock apps. The only things left in English in SVA ROM are SIM card manager, APK installation dialog and some minor deep settings most people don't ever use. I had an idea to find the Russian localization in SVA ROM and copy it into your ROM somehow. But as far as I am not an Android developer, I was upset after I found this process to be more complicated. The source ROM needs to be decompiled, then the neccesary language pack has to be taken out from every APK and this process has to be repeated in reverse with the target ROM. SVA ROM is still based on the newer version of stock firmware (I9502ZNUJOF1), but I don't know the changelog compared to I9502ZNUJOC1 which you use in sasiskas ROM. Are you planning any more updates after version 1.3.1?

Personally for me the new 5x6 Touchwiz grid is not so comfy. I prefer traditional 4x5 pattern (like in SVA ROM).

Off-topic:

My phone still powers off if I power it on with less then 40% battery charged and it tries to connect to Wi-Fi to get some updates from Play Market. It was one of the main reasons why I've updated from 4.3 to 5.0.1, but the problem isn't still solved. Is it the battery? I have bought my original battery in February 2014 and even now it is not swelled, flat as new. If I let the phone operate with 100% charge till 1% without powering it off through the day, it works normally. But if I power it off for example with 30% at night and power it on in the morning, I have that situation occur. There are 2 ways to solve it - either disable the Wi-Fi or connect the phone to the charger. Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S 4 General] sasiskas:
thank you for reply. I can fix that. I will try to make an update next week, because now I'm out of town.

Regarding your battery, i think that your battery is dying and needs to be replaced.
[Galaxy S 4 General] AxelRage92:
Thanks a lot for your quick reply and your hard work with ROM development! I'll be waiting to see the update.

it's a new messaging app, with a few mods by me. It might have fixed the issue. (don't forget it also depends on your country, personally it works fine for me). I suggest that you wait until the next week so I could send you some detailed instructions on how to try it.

Great ROM

First I want to thank you for the great job you did , also I have a question I can't connect to facebook from game for exemple subway surfers and many other games .

Can you help me with a solution please I really need it .
[Galaxy S 4 General] sasiskas:
try installing "google play games". What is the error that you receive..give me some information if you want me to help you.
[Galaxy S 4 General] chmm2100387:
Wow that was so fast :o .

Well I have google play already , the problem is everytime I click on connect to facebook it starts loading and that's all it takes ages but nothing , the same problem for all my games .
[Galaxy S 4 General] sasiskas:
I just downloaded subwaysurfers and logged in using my facebook..no issues. There must be some problems with your connection, or facebook account.Try rebooting the phone and find a better internet connection. In worst case try contacting facebook support. This is definitely not a ROM issue.
[Galaxy S 4 General] chmm2100387:
thanks for testing that do you have facebook apps installed or not yet , maybe I have to delete some programs one of them should be stopping me from logging to facebook .
[Galaxy S 4 General] sasiskas:
yes I have all facebook apps installed. but still I was prompted to login to my facebook account.
[Galaxy S 4 General] chmm2100387:
Well you're right I tried connecting using mobile data it worked fine , but using wifi is not working I tried using my neighbor's wifi same problem , did you try it with wifi ?

Maybe there is a setting I should change or something .
[Galaxy S 4 General] sasiskas:
yes, I used Wifi. I told you..this is not a ROM issue. It is a connectivity issue, probably your neighbor was abusing the connection that's why you didn't have a solid connection.
[Galaxy S 4 General] bryan_mmx:
I found a work around though. Downloaded a thrid party messaging app and it's working. Have to check it back at home who authored the app.

Another thing is, touchwiz keeps on crashing after 2 days of using the phone. I flashed the fix before hand. Seems like the issue was not addressed. My temporary fix was switching to touchwiz easy mode. Clearing cache and data of Touchwiz didn't fix anything, so next is I cleared dalvik cache and cache. It's now working, and I'm monitoring if touchwiz will act up again.
[Galaxy S 4 General] sasiskas:
thank you for the feedback. please share the name of the third party messaging app in case someone needs it. Please let me know if TouchWiz app crashes again.

[Galaxy S 4 General] bryan_mmx:
this one solves the problem of callerid mismatch in SMS. problem with using this app is it doesn't support dual sim like our i9502.

[IMG="Messaging app"]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v162/bryan_mmx/Screenshot_2016-05-13-13-16-07.png[/IMG]

maybe someone can decompile this and study the parameters?

my touchwiz easy mode is now crashing.:/

I can confirm this. SIM1 sometimes just stop working. No SIM Registered. Have to reboot the phone for it to work again. I swapped SIM1 and SIM2 and same thing happens on SIM1 slot so I can say it isn't SIM related problem.
[Galaxy S 4 General] mohsin15:
So what is the solution dear. I reboot the phone but it says no network.
[Galaxy S 4 General] sasiskas:
I have never faced this issue so far. Not a single time. It makes no sense because when I customized this ROM I didn't touch any files related to SIM operation.

Might be hardware related. My only advice is to Hard Reset the phone, if you did not have this issue with older Roms, I would suggest that you roll back to whatever ROM is working fine for you.
