[Q] MHL works on TabPro but it doesn't on S4 - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I've just bought this MHL cable:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1&tag=amazonsearchshop-20
The problem is that it works perfect on my new Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 (even without extra power supply, so it is 11 pins MHL 2.0), but it doesn't wotk on my S4 (i9500, last stock KK rom, custom recovery and rooted).
Do I need to activate any extra setting on the S4? I know it is not a samsung MHL cable, but is it possible that same MHL cable works fine on one device but it doesn't on a different device even for the same brand (Samsung)?????
Thanks,

It's probably because your Galaxy Tab is not rooted.
If you want a fix, you have to make one yourself. There is a fix for the I9505 and for older firmwares of the i9500, but not for Kitkat.

Yes, you could be right, my tabpro isn't yet rooted, I was thinking in rooting it this week so, should I assume that once rooted mhl won't work on my new tab? Mmmmmm...
I will check that thread and libs and I will also try mhl in my s4 unrooted...
Thanks!

[Q] {HELP!}What is the different between GT-P5110 & GT-P5113

Hi All,
I've a question as the title. I'm new to the tablet family, but I've experience on my galaxy note & SIII.
I recently got my hand on the GT-P5113, since I would like to change the language or regional setting (Chinese- Hong Kong)
Is it compatable for me to flash other P5110 stock rom to the P5113 via Odin?
Will is cause problems or even brick it?
many thanks!!
IR blaster and lack of vibration in the 3. Would of thought roms were interchangeable between the two

As far as I remember reading when I bought this was that ROMs are actually specific to each device.
Thank you for the replies.
I want to find out if anyone has tried flashing different region rom.
I don't mind losing the IR function, but other than this, will it cause major issue and most importantly will it brick!!
I want to keep it simple no root, stock rom is fine, as the Tab is for my uncle to use.
Any input and reassurance is much appreciated!!
If I go ahead and try, any problem, I can always flash back the original Rom, Right??
One more thing, Does both the 5110 & 5113 use the same CPU.
I know for a fact that the US Galaxy Note & International Note uses different CPU. That's why they are so incompatible.
According to this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31414984
5113 roms can be flashed to a 5110

[Q] One question about galaxy s4 GT 9506

Hi everybody! I want to change my phone but my operator propose just the galaxy GT 9506. I read on the galaxy s4 thread that it's difficulte to root this and they are no many rom for this version. My question: can i root the galaxy s4 gt 9506 and put a firmwear from galaxy s4 gt 9505. Thank's for read my thread and to give me an answer.:silly:
Yes you can root.
No, you can't put 9505 ROM into it.
But I suspect, some mod from 9505 or 9500 may work on 9506 (same Android version should have greater chance, as we occasionally using note3 mod on our s4, it probably works as long as don't go too deep into system, like kernel things, what I am talking about is more like theme or something ) and the xposed module may work as well.
If you don't wanna AOSP ROM.
Xposed module should fit you.
I've had 9506 and return back to exchange 9505 and now I found I could get what I want on stock firmware with xposed so I'm little bit of regret actually

Most xposed mods work with S4 I9506.

Thank you for the accuracy of your answer. I hesitated between LG g2 and galaxy S4. My preference goes to the S4 because I already had a S2, S3 therefore the logical consequence was the S4. But the proposed operator by my 9506 model slows a little. Your answer made ​​me decide to order S4 and hopefully not regret my choice. thank you

But beside the lack of AOSP ROM (someone is working on porting CM11) and 3rd part kernel, i9506 really outrun the i9505, specially the GPU part...
But anyway, it's kinda over-performance... as we usually don't need that kinda performance, even for Snapdragon 600.
I think, most ROM part of customization can be achieved by Xposed modules, good luck!
I did not need a lot of customization but I just wish rooter my phone and put a samsung official firmwear to delete all apps from my operator. The choice of S4 is really out of loyalty and passion for samsung. I do not really need the full power of the snapdragon 800, 4G as starts in France and yet I did not receive. So your information is extremely useful to me because I know I just choose the S4 9506, the rooter and remove apps operators. thank you

Need some input and advice regarding Galaxy S5 LTE-A (Prime)

Hello
I have an opportunity to purchase a Galaxy S5 LTE-A. I have been considering it but was wondering if I can root it and then put custom ROMS on it. The device comes unlocked from factory but don't know if the bootloader is unlocked as well.
I know that most of the ROMS here are for the standard Galaxy S5 and the internals for the "Prime" are a bit different.
Would custom ROMS work with the "Prime?"
I also want to know the same. The problem is that not many will be have the phone to test so we will probably not get an answer to his.
Yea. Also I'm wondering if Nova launcher prime works and if zooper widget works with 4.4 kit Kat
yes to all of those questions.

@AntaresOne : Your type of question buddy
"If someone helps, never forget to hit thanks ? "
@DeepankarS yeah
@jfox22
i9500 and i9505 have a different display controller, so you can't use display from one on other and vice versa.
Screens supported by i9505:
(also among all these devices)
GT-I9505 & I9505G (well, obvious. Lol)
GT-I9507
GT-I9508
SCH-I545
SGH-I337 & I337M
SGH-M919 & M919V
SGH-N045
SGH-R970
SPH-L720
There's also GT-I9515 that has the same display controller but a different touchscreen controller (that is soldered on touchscreen's flat cable), will not work on I9505, beware!!
