Hello all,
I have to find a solution for making a full backup of the S4 touchwiz/folders etc and restore on new S5.
Thank you very much.

Why do you want to restore s4 files on an s5? The s5 comes with its own touchwiz ya know
Take screen shots of what you have so you can replicate them on the S5. It's a very different look though

@thatsupnow: I don't want to restore the files from s4 to s5 but only the look.
@Painman1963: the screenshots are not useful because it's not my phone but the phone of my boss, so, I'll have to complete the 'operations' quickly e with a good result

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
hi everybody -
i am new to the forum and i would like to know if it is possible to actually put bloatware on a google edition phone. i know this sounds weird but here's the story. i thought i was being a cool boyfriend by buying a google edition s4 for my wife instead of the regular at&t samsung s4 from their site because there would be no bloatware on the google edition. After my wife (who has been used to using the bloatware off s3 and loving some of those things) played with the google edition and absolutely hated that it didn't have any of the samsung features from an actual samsung phone bought from at&t. What i'm wondering is, is there a way to actually put all that bloatware onto a google edition s4 somehow? so that way, the phone will perform and have all the apps and features of an original samsung s4? does it need to be rooted, etc.? any tips and info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading.
Joe
The short answer is no, it's not possible. But you could always sell it on ebay and buy a GT-i9500 or GT-i9505 instead to stay off contract, or buy the AT&T phone.
Theoretically, it's possible. Not by direct flashing I9505 firmware. But some cleaned one should be fine because I9505G has less space in system partition.
I'm not sure if partition layouts between I9505G and I9505 are the same (except sizes). If yes, then you can flash CWM/TWRP and then install any custom I9505 TW ROM. If partition layouts are different, then some work will be required.
You need to monitor threads about flashing GE ROMs to normal I9505 device and see what's the difference.
Or find playstore alternatives for the bloat she liked and install those.
Hi,
I have a Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 LTE and I would like to have something like the original stock KitKat rom, and also the Samsung Apps (Bloatware I think, correct me if I'm wrong).
I want the samsung apps so I can still use my Gear 2, but I want to get rid of the touch wiz, because it is really slow.
Is there any way to do this? A custom rom or something?
Thank you,

Looking desparately for a Samsung S4 I9500 Lollipop (5.0.X) Stock ROM TouchWiz screenshots of:
1. Phone application while in call.
2. While in call and keypad open.
I tried almost everything but no Luck! And I just got to put my hand on ASAP...
Any idea how to get such screenshots before february??
Thanks!
It looks exactly the same as other 5.0 tw phones like S5
Check out the previews/reviews on youtube. There were a couple.
You might also take a look at the s5 versions since they will be similar.
Sound like a good direction, but what makes you so sure the exact UI is the same on both S4 & S5 ?
Now, I found on XDA forums the rom:
[GT-I9500ZCUJOA3]AP3900764-QB3709712_CP1859016-QB3536216 by RBS
Which is I9500, lollipop, and seem to be stock rom. Yet I am not sure it has english in it and that I would be able later to use my phone... Kinda risky!
And I think many people would gain from more S4 Lollipop screenshots being published, as soon as possible... So, if you got one

Video comparison between kitkat s4 and lollipop s4
A second video comparing kitkat and lollipop
Those videos are older and the look might have changed. But it might give you an idea.
And I suggested that the UI is the same on both, s4 and s5, because, from what I saw, the samsung lollipop on s4 looks a lot like the UI of the kitkat s5.
Also, I wouldn't recommend installing the leaked version as I saw several threads where people reported losing their IMEI number and other problems. Either go custom or wait for an official samsung update.
can not find lollipop rom for s4
