I bought a clone samsung s4 19500 from bangkok last month.I downloaded an uninstaller (uninstall manager) from play store.Maybe by mistake i uninstalled some system file((Android OS,some mediatek file etc) to decrease internet data usage and my phone showed error messages.I quickly reinstalled somee uninstalled system apps using the backup files made by the backup data stored by the uninstaller program.but the error messages stated to increase.i removed my battery and when i opened the s 4 again it only kept on showing the opening message of "SAMSUNG" with some sound).what to do.plz help:
I also did the system restore/factory reset option by using power+vol up key but it did't help.i cleared user data also.What to do now?
THERE ARE THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS
1.its a clone and i cannot go into the download mode.
2. my s4 cannot be rooted or unrooted and its just in a bootloop.
3.I did not have any recovery software (backup file in my phone).
4.help me otherwise I would be in big trouble.plz,plz just once.help me.
IS THERE ANY WAY I CAN INSTALL A NEW ROM FROM SD CARD WITHOUT ROOTING OR CAN I ROOT MY PHONE IN THIS CONDITION.I CAN ONLY GO TO RECOVERY MODE IN WHICH THERE ARE FOLLOWING OPTIONS.
1.reboot system now.
2.apply update from ADB
3.apply update from sdcard

Why don't you be a little more honest, what you bought was NOT a clone.
If it was a clone then it would be an identical duplicate of the REAL galaxy S4
and you would have no problem fixing the issues you are having with it.
What you bought was a FAKE galaxy S4 and a FAKE galaxy S4 is not compatible
with any of these custom roms, kernels, custom recoveries and mods found here in
these xda forums and threads.
About the only things which will work in your fake phone are apps and games which can
be found and downloaded at the google playstore and don't expect all of those to work.
Perhaps you can ship the fake phone back to Bangkok and get it repaired
or just buy a new one,
I heard that fake phones from Bangkok and China sell for about $100 bucks which
most likely is less money than it would cost you to have it repaired.
Good luck!

Problems with recent apps since 4.3

Hello friends,
Since i updated to 4.3 i have a problem with my recent apps.
If i hold the home button my phone vibrates strong and goes just for a second into the recent apps then it jumps back to the homescreen.
I cant go for longer into the recent apps.
Tried reboot,dalvik and cache wipe but nothing helped.
Any help?

I think you need to do full reflash...
I mean HERE.
Go to recovery menu, wipe data and cache + dalvik cache. Pull out battery, put it back, turn your phone to DOWNLOAD mode.
use PIT from that link, use Odin (for me worked very well 3.09 version) and... I don't know, try. This method should work
Ohh, and also, How I upgraded:
0. Am on 9505 model
1. I used pit file (re-partition)
2. used
Germany DBT (October 2013) (firmware with Enforcing SELinux. SECURED BOOTLOADER WILL BE FLASHED, NO DOWNGRADE)
PDA: I9505XXUEMJ5
CSC: I9505OXAEMJ5
MODEM: I9505XXUEMJ5
Version 4.3
3. Did what I said - wipe data, cache, dalvik cache... same method.
For me works, but I only see few text lines at every boot (but they don't change anything, I just ignore them. I added photo so you can preview

You wiped dalvik and cache, so that means you didn't do a system/data wipe? Try that first.

Sorry i didn't understand your question...
This is what I did:
I wiped user data
I wiped cache
I wiped dalvik cache (under advanced)
and that's what i've done in recovery menu
P.s. I didn't give you instructions (even it looks like LIST) but it's not... Or do you need step-by-step instructions? Huh.. am too lazy but if you really need I can write, just tell me what

I wasnt talking to you The OP stated that he wiped cache and dalvik. But he didn't say he did a system/data wipe.

I got the same problem
I have the same problem, just solved it out.

Hey, DId you resolve this issue? I'm facing this on my Moto G.

[Q] Unfortunately, Settings has stopped.

I'm a root user, Titanium Backup installed and that's the second time i flash Android 5.0 and after a while i got this error. Tried factory reset, wipe data, wipe cache/dalvik and didn't worked out.
Tried entering in Safe Mode and the error is persistent.
Is there something i can do?
I'm using GalaxyS4 Settings for Froyo~JB (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ion.setting) and with it i'm able to got into some of my settings, but the stock app doesn't work by itself.
Is there some way of flashing the stock Settings app again?

Another weird thing is that my SPen does not take screenshots anymore and that only happens with Android L (5.0).

Lollipop Music Lockscreen Bug

Hello. i am using Official Lollipop from Poland. And i do have a problem regarding Music Lockscreen. The album art is gone stretched. I dont know why but it bothers me a lot. The only solution i found is to restore it to factory settings. Can you help me guys? It wasnt like this before. I think one of my apps we're triggering this. Perhaps the SD Maid?

Try clean cache from the settings search for on every apps that could be relative with the music app so if this doesnt work reboot in recovery and wipe cache partition if this doesnt work try an other programm from play store and if you have the same problem reflash stock rom using odin !!!

Calm downn dude..
Can you acess TWRP ?
If you can, do this : (you will loose all your data (unrecoverable))
Just go to format section, then change system folder to ex4 or any else, then reformat back to stock.
Flash Magisk and you're done
