why we can't flash galaxy S4 software on Galaxy S3? I mean the official rom , and why the odin refuses the rom when I try to flash it? I know because the software is working only on S4 because the hardware like installing apple mac on PC but is their any way to make odin pass the software to S3?
I think that there's no way you can flash gs4 rom on gs3...you can only brick your phone like that.
Why don't you just root your phone and flash any custom gs4 like rom?

because I want to get the new S4 features like smart scroll , smart pause ... etc
Glamour S4 rom developer ported all the S4 smart features in his rom but nothing working yet and he said all that features will work in another fix , so why till now the S4 features don't work on S3?
That will never work because they are 2 different devices. It will lead to an expensive paperweight. Some features will come to the S3 in future updates. Some will not for two reasons. The S3s hardware doesn't support the feature (ex. Temperature sensors) or because Samsung is beginning to move on from the S3

For the same reason you cant flash the HTC one os on your s3. Its a different device with different hardware, ergo different drivers.
If they kept the same hardware, it wouldn't be an upgrade

I am new to android and was wondering can we use another android phones rom on a another phone? Like can we use Galaxy Mini Cyanogenmod on Xperia Mini? And Can we do this by changing the firmware or kernel version?

Dude you asked the same question thrice, just differently worded. For god's sake.
Read up on porting ROMs if you want to know how a ROM for one device is made to work on another. It usually requires a device specific kernel that's made to be compatible with the other device's ROM, and then there's resizing work to be done for all the apps if the other device's screen is of a larger resolution.
Judging by your questions, it's obvious you don't have any developer knowledge, and porting requires quite a bit of it. So, for the last time, NO you can't do whatever you're asking.
same specs device
hi,
i have a similar question but for an identical hardware phones.
my device is with mt6577 cpu (neo n002), and running ICS i searched for a JB rom but didn't find one.
there are other devices with that chipset even same ram (size), screen resolution, maybe same camera, so i wonder if i can port
the JB rom to my device or even install the rom as it is?
if so, can i keep specific drivers from the ICS version, in case i get a problem with gps/camera/mic.....?
thanx.

sweet rom v9 mi6 4.3 is nowhere to be found so i chose pacman which failed and then illusion rom was chosen.
but i cannot pair with gear no matter what...it just stays loading but nothing happens
then i tried different ways of downloading gear manager (apk vs zip through cwm) some ppl said its on google play but it isnt.
eventually it was installed through cwm N7100_SWEET_V9_GalaxyGear_install_by_not-i
but it doesnt connect to gear no matter what... (0/19 installed) probably due to the lack of samsung app.
but when i do install samsung app and tap my phone to the cradle, it doesnt find the gear manager in samsung gear bc its not the right samsung app store (error 4002 likely bc its not a 4.3 store, not sure)
so i tried installing all 19 manually (http://www.mediafire.com/folder/m6ldp4k0d9xrq/GearApp)
i was guessing on which ones i needed (presumably mostly ones starting with samsung.android)
SAMusicProvider is the only one that cannot be installed for some reason (error: App not installed)
SAPedometerSettingProvider gives an error message during startup.
what to do? thanks!!

1. why you don`t say, that you have a AT+T Phone ? Does it have the official Type Number N-7100?
2. Why you ask before flashing anyone, as this ROM is compatible with AT+T Phones?
3. of course, Samsung Gear is made for use with Galaxy Note 3 and S4, so it´s clear, that you must run a TW 4.3 firmware
4. Do you read something about 4.3 bootloader? So, you have to be a bit carefully with installing any firmwares at 4.3 without having knowledge about this......
5. read the instructions at dr.ketans OP of leaked 4.3 mj2 firmware do get out of knox bootloader, if you have flashed this allready.....
The best thing ist, to make a fully clean install of an 4.3 leak of the NEWEST GENERATION (dr.Ketans V3 or Hurricane v4), so they are most stable and are able to run Note 3 stuff on it, or wait for an official release of 4.3 FW, but I`m not sure, that samsung implements the support of Samsung Gear. out of Marketings sight it would be clever, but Sasmsung wants to sell Note 3`s now

Hey dude, you are referring to other variant of Note 2? The 4.3 rom is actually only available for N7100 or international variant of Note 2 of rnow. And Galaxy gear is still not compatible for CM or AOSP roms, but correct me if I'm wrong.
So for now, you need to wait for the official (or leak) Samsung 4.3 rom for your variant before you can use Galaxy gear, unless CM mods for galaxy gear will be made.
So tough luck.

That is what I meant.. only the N7100 Note 2 version has the 4.3 rom that is compatible with the galaxy gear. As of now, other variants of note 2 still dont have the 4.3 rom that is compatible with the gear.
The gear is not compatible still with other roms other than samsung.. only samsung 4.3 roms are known to be compatible.

What rom exactly are you using now? I told you, if it is not samsung rom, it is still not compatible yet. That 4.3 rom you are using probably is CM based. As of now, no mod for CM roms are created for galaxy gear compatibility.

ok i used pacman and illusion 4.3... obviously not samsung. if you are saying that 4.3 works everywhere except gear then thats what i experienced.
but another person on this suggested dr.ketan 3 and hurrican 4, would either work? should i try? right now i am back at factory settings with cwm ready to go.

Pacman and illu roms are CM based. Dr. Ketan and hurricane is samsung. BUT! Those are only for N7100 or the international variant of note 2. As of now other variants like your are stuck on 4.1.2 samsung or 4.3 CM.
Meaning, you still cant use your phone to be compatible with gear. You either have to wait for the 4.3 samsung for your variant or maybe someone can make a mod for CM roms to be compatible for the gear. Have patience.
BTW, others have tested flashing dr ketan on a nonN7100 phone, works but only no phone signal. So if it is ok to you if your phone has no mobile signal, then you can try on your own risk.

Hurricane will be the same result.. because modems on different variants are different. Thats why if you flash rom that is not for your variant, you will lose signal.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
i chose mi6 as opposed to mj2 and mg1... its not getting any mobile data...it says insert sim when there is a sim inside..
im seeing no data whatsoever not just weak signals.. should i try the other two? do i have to reflash the hurricane or can i just change it from within?
thanks!
update: just tried mj2 and didnt work either. i guess i can affirm that there is no signal whether u use dr. ketan or hurrican (((((((((((((((((((((((( guess i have to wait
so how do i go back just redo the factory odin or is there some other faster way
HOLD ON ....you are clearly doing stuff blindly .....First of all before flashing anything to your phone READ ABOUT IT ....
There is A HUGE difference between AOSP romss ( CM .-pac- illusion -slimbean ..etc) and SAMSUNG roms ....google it...it would take much time explaining
i read the the next stuff but can't confirm it my self so i am not responsible
someone confirmed that gear work with the leaked 4.3 mi and mj roms ..
the big difference between n7100 and n7105 is the modem part ... so flash the mi6 rom hurrican or dr.ketan that's ur personal preference .. then flash n7105 modem ..that should make the signal work
and again PLEASE READ BEFORE DOING ANY OF THESE STEPS

Thanks, and yeah it looks like 4.3 is it. Lets hope Samsung in not taking a page from HTC's play book and screwing over its user base by not updating devices that are more than capable of running the latest version of android.
I will never use an HTC device again or recommend them to anyone. If Samsung goes down this path it will be bye bye Samsung as well, and i advise a good number of people on device choice and also use many other Samsung products. but if you really look around there is better out there, maybe not at the Samsung price point but they are out there.
The S3 should have 4.2.x and so should the S2 have gotten it, end of
Hello,
what's the difference between these 2 phones? And can I install a ROM for the normal S3 to the "Neo" one?
Well dude I dont think that there may be very big different in s3 normal and s3 neo.
may be some functionality different or something like that.
You can easily compare both phone on gsmarena[dot]com.
I thing No, You can't flash custom roms of different model as by doing that may brick your phone.
Every phone has a model No. like s3 normal is GT-I9300 .
so you should download and flash for that specific model only other may might loose your phone.
Press THANKS if I helped you.
Different processors and neo has extra 512mb of RAM. And that's just for starters.

Nope you can't. First we need custom recovery. I think however latest stock rom from samsung, is really good ! Be sure to not update, but keep what version of android you find when buying the phone otherwise you can't root.
So does anyone know if the Samsung Galaxy S4 is getting Android 6.0, or am I going to have to root it and flash cyanogenmod 13?

I am not asking how. I am asking if I have to. Because I really don't want to root it considering my past experiences with rooting
Verizon (and Samsung, too) would prefer that you help boost their profits by purchasing a new phone.
The S4 would probably run Marshmallow perfectly fine...if Big V put its mind to it. However, by the time they pumped-in all their bloatware and crapware onto the phone, it would run so poorly that you would throw your hands up in exasperation and run out and buy a new phone!

The s4 will not be getting 6.0
Will anyone make a rom that's flashable for people who don't have mdk? Because looking at some of the screenshots it looks aesthetically way better than lollipop.
Unfortunately you're stuck on lollipop. Even if someone was to try to port a MM TW rom over to the s4 without the firmware or modules to support it it would be pointless.
