QUOTE(arboon @ Jan 9 2014, 05:40 PM) i hope this is the right place to ask this... my brother just bought me a (new) S4 from Australia. he got it online, supposedly it's a brand new machine shipped from HK. but when i unboxed it, it's all in French ( o____O )?!?! switched it on, it is branded to SFR. even has an SFR app in it, besides the standard SamsungApps on top of GoogleApps. firmware - I9505XXUAME2 so my question is, can i flash it to a local firmware? should i?! yes, flashable as long as your model mentioned

QUOTE(arboon @ Jan 11 2014, 02:16 AM) do i need to unroot first? BMG8 would be 4.2.2 isn't it? newer 4.3 any good? for flash clean rom for BMG8 , is automatically unroots about version, yes.. till 4.3 ... like let say, if u use ChainFire-root, Knox triggered to 0x1.(warranty depends on situation)...n if u wanna clean root, u may refer XDA members, Djembry's post to root it..

QUOTE(namh @ Jan 11 2014, 10:21 AM) what do you mean by clean root? DjeMBeY method will not increase KNOX counter? or it just CF-Root and make the status official only? clean root means... Unofficial/official-firmware + supersu ready.. that included free knox tripping...man 2nd.Djmeby method quite good for those who wanna root w/o tripping knox... 3rd. if u using CF-root, Knox counter will tripped to 0x1 n the status will change to offical bro...

QUOTE(EdwinCodec @ Jan 11 2014, 02:05 PM) Ok something funny happened. Rmb my proximity issue? I've fixed it like finally! Guess what I did? Basically I've been trying to fix it right after EMK8 update, reflash stock rom, factory reset, blow hard on earpiece hole and etc had been done but none of them works so I finally got super pissed off with it today as it got worst by going on itself. So here comes the interesting part, I whack kinda hard on the table (Phone's Surface direction) and it's working again lolol.  shit this man... anyway thanks man.. n i out of the S4 league... and next week jump to Nexus 5 league

QUOTE(limyuyang @ Jan 14 2014, 05:01 PM) Hi guys. Have anyone tried this mod ? Does it works ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2401367Its a mod about adding a custom text to top-left status bar. I tried it on my device, SGS3 Mini, and it won't work. My systemui.apk has stopped working and my status bar is gone. But that OP tried it on his device, SGS3mini, and it works for him, but not mine.  So I wanna ask whether anyone tried before ? Does it works ?  shiet... what framework u using now? and Current TS tried....just do application backup n re-flash firmware...
