does this work on 4.3? I just got a note 3 and it has 4.3 already. They must have patched up the wifi hotspot toggle because it doesnt work for me.
If root works..Ill just add the toggle in my settings storage using sqlite
That depends in wha t" it means"

I looked and didnt see this info here in the forum so I figured I should post it. If it has already been posted I apologize. Anyway if not here it is. Samsung has released a firmware update to allow moving of apps to external SD. This is due to the 16gb not actually being that, but more like 9gb. I for one think this is great news. Especially considering I just ordered a new Class 10 micro SD and it will be here today. It is currently only rolling out in Germany, but Im sure it will get here. And even if it doesnt Im sure some cool dev can make it work for us!!! Anyway here is the link. http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57...r-galaxy-s4/?tag=nl.e703&s_cid=e703&ttag=e703
Heres a list of what the update includes.
New Camera firmware with HDR video
Smearing issue has been fixed (Purple effect while scrolling)
Smart Pause Toggle
Move Apps to SD Card
Semi-transparent status bar
New Icons in Settings
Secure boot status in “About Phone”
Increased display legibility
I just read this on http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2420067,00.asp . This looks promising but right now its only out for the snapdragon processors. Hopefully we'll see the qualcomm version arise soon.

Snapdragon is from Qualcomm
I'm wondering if this firmware update brings "under the hood" changes. I.E. removing root exploits and bootloader bypasses.
All in all, I'm excited to see what the new camera firmware brings.

I was thinking the same thing, time to install a custom ROM before an OTA messes up my root.

Is there any way to disable the update by freezing an app?
Sent from my SCH-I545 using XDA Premium HD app
If I remember correctly, if you freeze/remove any of the Verizon apps OTA updates will not be pushed/downloaded to your device. I am not 100% sure on this, someone please correct me if I am wrong.

If your worried that the update will cause you to lose root I wouldnt worry about it being permanent. The devs we have here are awesome and would get root back for sure. You could also try voodoo OTA Rootkeeper. It might work if that happened.

no only if you remove the file needed for OTA, but if your rooted its you won't be able to download it anyway. Will mess up your device. usually theres a leak a week or two before them update gets pushed out and if your rooted you can just flash it and be fine
plus wouldn't you have to manually go and approve the download and update before it ran? Or are they automatically pushed and updated? I know on my wifes unrooted S3 I have to go in and get the update and run it. I haven't had an unrooted phone in so long I wouldn't know on mine
Can't wait till a dev merges this with their rom.

It probably only adds the HDR video that's talked about, it doesn't help the "lag" everyone but me seems to notice. People in the main board already have it installed I think.
Our phone has the Snapdragon 600 processor.

Looking forward to getting my hands on this. The app-to-sd feature is going to be very useful, especially for games.
Anybody have a demo video of what the HDR video looks like?
Mental note to self... Never ever post a logical statement 20 min after waking up... Haha
I've been waiting for Google to release the phone and it has finally happened. Once Google releases the code will this improve the stock ROMs put out by the developer community? Will it even be used to build those ROMs?
I'm not a developer so I was wondering if it would happen. Thanks guys!

There is already a ROM for the T-Mobile one that someone made from the system dump. So I'm assuming that we should get a ROM very soon
Awesome that's good news, I heard the lag is significantly decreased on stock, can't wait!

Don't post here very much because I've been mostly on an iPhone the past year, but just got my S4 today, and im super juiced to see a rom develop from the Google Editions! Hopefully the stuff that doesnt work on the aosp roms will be functional.
There was a thread on someone testing this ROM. Now I can't find it, does anyone know where it is?

Hi,
intresting, I have heard that Google Jelly bean 4.3 is here with S4 google edition, it is specifically aimed only at developers and is only with the Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Play Edition (GT-I9505G) compatible
Unless someone did something special within the last few hours 4.3 is not working for vzw currently.
And cannot be rooted currently.

After going through the unlock process on the Verizon Note 2, would I be able to then use a MetroPCS sim card in it? I went through the entire process in Casual, it said I was unlocked, but when i popped my metro sim, it wouldn't recognize it.
I'm guessing I either messed up somewhere, or it isn't capable of doing it.
Can anyone shed some light?

If your on 4.3 there are no custom recoveries for it yet. Also the only way you can root it is with vroot which is sketchy at best. Not trustworthy. I would just wait until a safe root is made available.

I hope this question is not a stupid one...
I want to say that I tried searching and all guides come either outdated with broken links or just designed for a different model.
I have a Galaxy Note SGH-i717R which is a canadian version. I cannot find a current working rooting method that will guide me through installing a CWM or TWRP recovery plus let me flash CM or any other KitKat based ROM.
I have downloaded:
CWM-TOUCH-i717-6043.zip but I know I can't install it until I root. But all rooting guides are outdated and do not work.
I have a good idea on how to root and install custom roms, I've done it on various phones including on my Nexus 5 and 7.
Can anyone give me a link or a quick breakdown of what I need?
I can't stress enough that this is a SGH-i717R not SGH-i717, i have a Canadian Version.
Thanks in advance!
