Hi XDAians.
Guys i own a Samsung galaxy S4-I9505 and few months ago i tried root it and some how i did it successfully and later i unrooted it again i am using back the same stupid touchwiz but the problem i am facing is,
1.My phone doesnt gets automatic updates.(i have to do it manually by downloading firmware from samfirmware and then installing it through Odin)
2.Knox cant be installed.
3.The camera app sucks to the coreeeee auto focus sucks every time i get a blued image. out of 5 i only get one clear image
3.After my 4.4.2 update, i cant hide apps. And the touchwiz is so much bad compared to 4.3 .
So my question is is there any way i can fix those above problems?
Now i am willing to root it back again hence i wanted to know which custom rom comes with all the system apps and software(such as wifi direct etc etc) pre installed as touchwiz and which lets me free do play with it!!!
last time i installed CM i didnt have wifi at all and it was really a mess to get that (actually i didnt ) so unfortunately had to get back to touchwiz .
Guys please link me to full root tutorials and how to install custom rom too.

Hi Guys,
I had rooted and replaced my stock S4 rom with a custom ROM ,as the stock S4 ROM was really slow. But now, the stock S4 Lollipop update seems promising , so I want to switch back to my previous rom.
I just have one question . After switching back to stock ROM , will I continue to recieve OTA updates from Samsung, or would I require to keep on flashing the latest ROM's manually ???
Thank you , it will be of great help if someone can answer this.

Yes u will if Samsung releases update
Hi im a bit of a noob when it comes too this flashing business but i managed to update my i9505 to lollipop using odin and the official stock rom but the problem i have now is my network signal is now terrible where it was good before is ther anyway that a noob like me can fix this issue? Im in uk on giffgaff (o2)
i have never rooted my s4 before and if some one has a noob guide for rooting from lollipop so i can custom rom it up i might give that a look too, I wouldnt mind a nice slim custom rom with a few extra tweeks and without all the google and samsung rubbish that comes standard..
Thanks
P.s sorry for all the questions and sorry if this is in the wrong section
The signal problem is probably caused by the modem.
You have to flash the latest modem for your phone, country and carrier.
If you already are on the latest modem then a lollipop modem might help.
Here you can find a guide on how to root lollipop.
If you want a slim rom you better try CM12 or GPE. If you like touchwiz then look for a touchwiz based lollipop rom around the forum.

Is your phone branded or unlocked? Coz this is very important. UK(O2) still without lollipop update. This is the possible reason that you are receiving weak network signal.

I'm also experiencing someone what of the same problem I've rooted/Un rooted a couple times, I'm back at a stock version and it seems to be ok.
Want to go back from N900 with CM12.1
Hello guys,
Iv'e been using the CyanogenMod12.1 on my Note3 N900 a whole year already and I regret every day for installing the Cm12.1
It's rooted of course with the CWM revovery.
I need your help guys, I just want to go back to the stock rom of Note 3 with Lolipop and I am failing to install the rom all over.
I am trying to flash the stock frimware via odin and it fails every dam time + my device goes soft brick which means that I need to install again the CWM recovery+ cm12.1 rom every time I fail.
I tried to look for some rooted stock roms for my n900 and I found nothing. My model is crap and not popular at all (cause its crap of a model).
Why I want to go back?
well, back then I didnt like the TouchWizz so much, I thought that it is to slow and to heavy for my system. so I wanted a clean android but I didnt like it.
It didnt fell good, every time I use my device I fell like my Note 3 got lost in a crappy OS or Rom. CM12.1 is boring and feels like death when I am traveling through the settings, drawers etc... + CM12.1 on note 3 has plenty of bugs, the battery sometime wont charge and dies fast, device getting hot toooooo fast and it killed me!!
on "TouchWizz" it felt more "alive" and more "colorful" for me. Maybe you will understand me or not, but the point is that I dont like CM12
Any help fellas?
The point is you need to find the proper TW ROM for your phone. I mean what country's model is that? Try to search for the same country's ROM on sammobile.com, and it should work via Odin. I don't have the Exynos model, so can't really say.
And about your opinion on CM, I can't agree more

Thanks for your reply. I purchased the phone with a Taiwan rom. So I need to download and flash the Taiwanian stock frimware?
And thanks for that you agree with me on CM.
anyone? up
Umm, again, can't be sure about Exynos models and their firmwares, but on Snapdragon you can flash almost any firmware as long as you have an unlocked N9005, so I am just guessing that N900 is also same. But if you find matching ROM then its preferable to download and flash that, unless its hovering at some very older based firmware.
So ur model is N900? I found alot of custom TW roms on exynox thread.
You want TW, you can try Darklord.
My country, Vietnam, using N900 alot. And they build plenty of roms for Note 3, ultra fast and stable.
You can go to samsungviet.com if im not wrong to search. If you cant, i can give you link to download.
The problem you have with CM12.1 is kernel. Try to find good kernel for your device.
Im using temasek cm12.1, and my device is N900W8 because i live in Canada. All i need is using other kernel for this rom. Everything work like a charm except battery life. Not as good as TW base rom. I think because of kernel too, but acceptable. Using CM cause TW not support multi dpi, i used to use 320-340, original 480 is too big for me.
Hi everyone , this might seem a little bit strange on a forum like this , but im having a big amount of doubts , i had my s7 edge for a couple of months and i bought it on the us , and I already installed some customs rooms ,(i was looking for better battery life ) bit i wanna instal other room that is "debloated" but the rom says its based on firmware G935FXXU1APF2 but my phone hasnt the same , it has "FXXU1APB4" so can i install this rom? or i have to install the firmware that its based on? while i was searching for the firmware to get more info i found this site that has it , and it says it was released for portugal , and i thought if i need to install the firmware it would matter to be one released in portugal? thnx
Hi,you have to install the modem and bootloader for G935FXXU1APF2,that's normaly provided by the dev of the rom.Flash it with Odin.
