Galaxy s4 help

Just got my s4 and was wondering if I can just root it and install a custom tw based kernel on the stock rom?

Yes you can root it, use cf-autoroot and then install a custom recovery so you can install the kernel you want to use.

What if everything is back to stock and not rooted but just a custom recovery would that be ok?

For you to get the new update, you atleast need to be on stock rooted with no mods whats so ever and have stock recovery. And you can get update but if you have custom recovery its aborts it

Ok thanks i just got my s4 like 2 days ago lol i love it its so much better than the s3

Is MDC the latest stock recovery for the sprint s4 or is there a MF9 version?

Hi,
Firstly,are you aware that you have your own DEDICATED FORUM ?
If you do flash an i9505 ROM,I believe you are fine as long as you flash it together with a SGH-M919 kernel.
So, flash ROM and kernel one after the other,and all should be well.

Failed to finish setup process. After I install one of the custom Rom I have this problem, it's appears in every other custom Rom I tried to install.in 1 time I receive a note question if I don't include a binary something.

Thank you

[i9500] Play store apps isn't working

I did a nandroid backup after I just rooted my phone. So now I am running a custom rom and I decided to go back to stock android. So I flash the nandriod backup and it rebooted with no problems. But when I unlock the fone it said unfortunately Gapps have stop working and these pop-ups are coming up like every 2 seconds. So I just decided to wipe and factory reset my phone. So I did when it was finish I went through the process of setting up my phone and when I download Instagram the app keep crashing like I would be on it for like 2 mins and a pop-up would come up saying unfortunately Instagram has stop working. It even says it when I tried to post a picture. And when I download whatsapp also and i try to change my profile picture it keeps crashing.
I think it's something with the play store or something. Please help

I flash the new gapps and it didn't work. I think it because I am on stock android the gapps didn't work. But if I was a custom ROM it would have work.
Anymore solutions ?

It wont hurt to try. It would go in system/app. Remember to change permissions
