Hi there folks!
Well i just upgraded my galaxy s4 to the last firmware and i didn't know anything about KNOX until it was to late...
Anyway i just wonder if there is anyone who like to help me to mod the stock launcher from 4x4 to 5x5 ?
Or can this be done pretty simple with apktool? will apktool even work with android 4.3?
Was some time since i played around with android stuff, did it on my old s3 and just rooted and de-bloated my galaxy s4
i assume it is odexed as stock as i have not flashed it.
These files comes from I9505XXUEMKF with android version 4.3 on the s4

im using currently my S4 9505 running on JB 4.2.2. Do we have any stock JB 4.1.2 or Cyanogen 4.1.2 that works on S4? Im planning to go downgrade instead than going to JB 4.3. Because My software Navitel 5 dont work on JB 4.2.2. that why im thinking a downgrade.
any advise from anyone>
thank you.
the galaxy s4 ships with 4.2.2.

there's never been a ROM with a lower version number than 4.2.2 from what I know. I don't think you'll be able to do what you want to do on the S4.
there's no ROM for you to flash, because around here everyone likes living on the bleeding edge, people spend months working out how to upgrade software, never to downgrade. sorry.
ohh i see.. Thanks for the reply and for some info

I meant design & styles.. kitkat features...
Lol, I think he is saying that he had some kind of Jelly Bean theme on 4.3 and then he upgraded to KK, non wipe upgrade, and thus that existing theme remained.
Well if that's the case it's pretty normal. You can go to Settings/About device and see if it's showing 4.4.2 or not, if it is then you have successfully upgraded to KK.
Maybe you're expecting the non-touchwiz kitkat look. If so, download a launcher and use a kitkat theme. OR you might be expecting the new Samsung UI found on the S5. No news of that on S4 yet.
4.3 and 4.4.2 on Touchwiz doesn't look any different except for the white status bar at the top. If you are expecting the stock android look like on the Nexus 5, flash an AOSP rom like CyanogenMod or get the google edition launcher.
Shoud be nice if sam brings the S5 TW to S4
Yes hello, being the idiot that i am, i accidentally deleted the touchwiz apk from the system root. And i was hoping someone could give it to me. I need the android 4.3 touchwiz apk. This would be so helpfull. So please.
i flashed my rooted galaxy s4 the Google Play edition android 4.4.2 KitKat but now i want to revert back to the official stock touchwiz (where i can receive updates) because i got the Samsung Gear Fit and I want it to be compatible with my phone so can anyone tellme how can i revert back to the officia touchwiz or how to make the gear fit work with my rooted galaxy s4 with the google play edition ROM or both?
forgot to mention

Which Android version is better for our i9506 : Jelly Bean 4.3 or KitKat 4.4.2

Kitkat
KitKat is better, even 4.2.2 was better than 4.3 slowmo..
The SD card restrictions in KitKat create too many limitations for my liking. Even with root and SDFix, some apps still can't access the external SD card. On top of this, there doesn't appear to be any significant improvement in performance or battery life.
Maybe when someone does a good sammy custom rom based on 4.4.2NNE (would I love an Omega rom right now!) it will be a worthwhile update. In the meantime, if you have 4.3, stick to it. As I discovered to my annoyance, there's no going backwards.
Any team will cook for i9506??It's a shame
In my opinion they are almost the same Sh*******t with few changes.
I'm just using the i9506 since 4.4.2.
I'm rooted, debloated and adfree.
For me the system is fast, stable and handy.
I like it and don't miss something.
PS: SDFIX: If you fixed the ext sd write permission than any app should work...
Are you sure you've done it correctly and being rooted?

I am quite pleased with 4.4.2, my only problem is that at the moment you cannot root without activating KNOX.
For this reason I wanted to downgrade to 4.3 where you can root w/o voiding the warranty.
Anyhow, your post surprised me, because you say that even 4.2.2 was better than 4.3
Do you mind to tell me (us) why you think so?
What is wrong with 4.3?
Should I really stay far from this 4.3?
Many thanks in advance.

I moved since a couple of months to v4.2.2.
So far so good.
