Hello there
Before you say, I already searched about this and only found one thread which didn't help me much to be honest. There was a SamsungIME.apk linked in the thread but I am not even sure what that is. I applied the Galaxy SIV MOD by Damdidosch and it is amazing and has the keyboard I am looking for but I faced some problems with it and it kind of slowed down my device so I decided to restore the leaked (untouched) 4.2.1 firmware. I really liked the S4 keyboard, though, with the number pad always visible and the white background and would really like to install it if it's possible.
Does anyone have links for it or know where I can look for it?
Thanks!
Well I tried the SamsungIME.apk and it said "Do you want to install this update to the system application Samsung Keyboard?" and I chose yes but it then said Install failed.

Hi, I just bought myself a new galaxy tab 10.1 (i believe the p7510 model). Basically its the one thinner than the ipad. I'm switching over from an ipad and after getting lazy with that tablet, I'm kind of struggling with a few things.
First, i dislike the touchwiz UI, so that is the main reason for rooting. First I had a couple of general questions.
-I found this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171089
As i understand it i have to install the CWM rom. But it seems all the cwm roms listed for the wifi verson say they have touchwiz on it. Also, the ohter ones are starburst, bonsai, etc. What is the difference? what do i go with? What I'm looking for basically is to replace my current rom with the official google rom so i basically have a google experience tablet like those given out at IO. Also to clarify, does STOCK rom mean the rom from sansung that came with the tablet?
- If i somehow succeed in doing this rom update, how do i update my tablet once an update is out? will google basically push updates to my tab, so i can download them over wifi when i check for updates. or do i have to download a new rom and go through this process every time an update comes out.
- Once i do this rom unroot thing, i will hvae android marketplace? are there any issues generally with rom replacement?
- Lastly a general question about the android marketplace: Is there any way to differentiate tablet apps from normal apps when im browsing the store?
-
if this isnt the right forum, could someone let me know where to post this.
So I have the galaxy tab 10.1 wifi version (US) and am planning to root it today. Can someone give me some suggestions on which Roms are best? I would prefer to go on AOSP Jelly Bean 4.2.1, but only if it's stable. I looked in the forums and saw CM10.1 and AOKP but I want to make sure I'm not overlooking anything. Also, what are the worst bugs from these Roms so if I go through with it, I know what to expect?
Thanks,
Acer
P. S. What's the best rooting method? I'm stock ICS and was looking for in all-in-one toolkit but I can't seem to find one (being on my phone).
Thanks again!

Cm 10.1 is a good choice, no issue for me
Its not perfect!
Actually I have samsung galaxy tab gt-p6200 and I flashed that rom few days ago and its not for daily use, It gave me many errors liek the browser was not opening and the keyboard usually crashes a lot. Give it some time to this rom first. The funny thing is that I flashed this rom and I got these errors so I reflashed ICS offcial rom from SamFire using odin and now my tab is super bricked lol and I don't know what to do :crying:
I would suggest you head over to the Development section and check it out. I rooted my GT7500 successfully there and have the stock ICS on it. Tried CM 10 but dont like it.
Hello everyone, i have a new Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 on virgin, i took the plunge and rooted it, all went well and fairly easy too, so i decided i wanted to update from 4.1.2 to the 4.2.2 update, i found what i thought was a suitable download and using odin i upgraded, however now all is bad, i have an os called slim bean or Nova or something, nearly all the apps have gone, i cannot get access to google store or the internet at all, it now tells me i am on tmobile and a few of the apps that are on there stop working when you click on them, the web and apps like this just do nothing, i tried to import my previous set up which was GO but the system tells me No supported launchers to import from, i cannot even add my google account. does anyone have any idea what i have done and how to rectify it, i really am regretting ever touching it, ive tried to ownload the stock rom but the only place you can get it from is a site called hot file which pretty much will not work unless i feed it money, thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer. ATB
you should have read the guides/FAQ before rooting , if you did not do it, and if you did, read it again.
There are instructions of how going back to stock, how to root another ROM, what you have to be careful of etc.
In addition SlimBean & Nova are completely different things, SlimBean is a ROM and Nova a launcher (if you are talking about the launcher)
Sounds like to flashed the wrong ROM for your phone. Usually a good place for stock ROMs is sammobile.com or here on XDA the ROM threads in the General section.
Hello everyone.
I have an international version of S3 (I9300) and it works pretty well (the only thing that annoys me is that sometimes when i swipe left or right, the background of pages when on middle is some random, usually non-transparent image, but i just reboot it and it's fine), but i really like android kitkat and would like to install it on my I9300. I searched through various web sites and videos (also here on some threads) and i saw a lot of ROMs for "S3 kitkat" and i can't decide on my own which one is the best. If anyone could help me choose the best S3 kitkat ROM i would be veryveryvery thankful!
PS the first one i saw is cyanogen mod and i think that that one is probably the one i should install, but it's just an idea (aaand when i say the best ROM, i mean the one that could give me the most and the best of my I9300 (pretty obvious i think, but oh well...)) also i saw on sammobile.com an article about South Korean version S3 getting kitkat and when i saw one of comments it gave me some hope for not needing any custom ROM (i would probably be the happiest person if they would relase an official kitkat for I9300 or if it would be possible to take kitkat for some other S3 versions and install on I9300) and the comments go like this:

Installing it will brick your device. Hopefully someone will make a port out of it.

(i'm not that much into ROM stuff and had never installed any custom ROMs, just rooted, unrooted and did binary counter reset once, so please forgive me if i said something stupid or nonesense)
It's no nonsense, but a version of 'what's the best rom', which is against the rules (avoiding endless threads about personal preferences).
Choose the roms with the most and actual posts here, read them and decide. All of them, AOSP- or TW-based, will have some minor bugs. Test it and enjoy.
Hi, please to anyone who still has a galaxy s4 or remembers there best rom(stock) from the old good days, please read this and help me out. Thanks!
I am looking for a stable stock rom on kitkat that has the stock camera and stock launcher.
I'm not doing this for myself but for my uncle because hes s4 keeps rebooting and going into safe mode for no reason at all and says lags a lot...
So, out of all of these roms out there I came across this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50359886#post50359886 and thought it'd be a good one but I'm not sure about if it comes with stock launcher and camera & if the latest version that is released has a dark theme.(because his/hers older ones says dark and light but the latest doesn't.)
I tried youtubing videos about it and also about stock roms but can't find the answers I'm looking for and if I had the s4 myself I'd flash it to try it out but I don't so I really really need someone who has one or remembers there best stock rom that they used when s4 was great. Thanks!
(I really need 10 post too lol so I can post in the actual thread so then that'd help a lot..... so yeah but maybe someone will help me out here but so far I've got nothing but 1 person but still hasn't answered everything I need help on )
Edit:
Totally forgot lol.... it has MDK on Verizon and not sure of the recovery it has on it though.... & it's on 4.2.2 never updated)
