[Q] Newbie Question: Chinese Galaxy S4 i9500 and MIUI ROM? - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hi Guys,
I am new here and not yet allowed to post in all forums and threads.
I got a a Chinese galaxy s4 i9500 and first wanted to install cynogen mod which is not officially supported for my device. But since I used to have a XIAOMI 2A, I love that GUI.
So my QUESTION: Is there an actual MIUI Version for my device (chinese i9500 WCDMA) and how do I install it. Will any of the sensors, like the IR-Sensor be affected, I mean will I still be able to use it ?
Thank you in advance

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 custom ROMs

Hello everyone!
Recently i bought Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 P5200 (It`s 3G model, not only WiFi). Yesterday, i managed to root it using ClockworkMod Recovery (yay, my first device ever rooted :victory: ). I would like, to flash a custom ROM, but I can`t find any. Only found custom ROMs for 8 (or 7, i don`t remember) inch version. So, my question is: can i use ROMs which are for 8 and 7 inch versions, or do I have to wait for specific 10.1 version ROMs?
Sorry for noob question (but we all were noobs, right?)
Thank you for any help

Same question? No development going on?

From what i have read, you can not use the roms from the 7.0 or the 8.0, you could very easily brick your device.
Be patient like i am and we will have to wait till they build some... But i have some good news, i have some apple products we can burn and roast hotdogs over while we wait. LoL
Hope this helps some

[Q] MIUI released for tmobile galaxy note 3?

hey all, i'm an avid MIUI user, i've been waiting ages for it to hit the note 3. i havent checked the developer scene in months as i've been busy with work, but i decided to check if MIUI is available for our devices yet, and I found this: http://en.miui.com/download-234.html
its for the N9005 version. There is also an N9002 version on their official site. Is this compatible with our devices? if not, are there developers working on a port?
EDIT: there is also a generic "Galaxy Note 3" rom on their website as well.

[Q] Upgrade using custom firmare of l9195 for l9195L

Hi there!
I have a Galaxy S4 Mini l9195L (Latin version), which only can only officially upgrade to 4.2.2
Is it possible to upgrade it to 4.3 (or later) using custom firmware for a regular non-latin l9195 device?
I have researched many websites and forums but cannot find the answer.
Thank you so much in advance.
I was about to ask the same thing in the Kitkat thread. Hope someone can answer to this.

Its better NOT to use firmware/ROMs meant for devices of different model number. Yes I9195 and I9195L have same hardware but there is a reason why sammy uses different model numbers. Wait for official kitkat, go to sammobile firmware section and search for I9195L.
I do not think you will be able to flash any stock based kitkat custom roms on I9195L. It gives error as it is looking for i9195 and u have i9195l.
Be patient. never be complacent.

Rooting Galaxy Note 8 wifi N5110 and updating to Nougat or Android 7.0?

Hello everyone. Please forgive me but I am a super newbie in regards to rooting and terminologies. I have a Galaxy Note 8 N5100, wifi version. It has the original firmware 4.4.2 and I would like to upgrade it to Nougat 7.0. My son is having trouble playing new games on it so I theorized that it could be due to its age. Before I buy a brand new tablet I figured I would try to see if updating the N5100 would help.
I have googled and saw this link and it seems fairly easy.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2626778
Is that the correct thing to go through the process? And to update to Nougat I saw this:
http://www.android-nougat.tech/2017/03/samsung-galaxy-note-8-0-wi-fi-5253.html
Or if there is a better/easier way I would appreciate it. Thanks.
Wish I could help. I'm just getting back into this tablet myself.I'm sure someone will show up with info.

Hi! I was planning to do exactly the same thing -- upgrade my trusty Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 to Android Nougat -- and from scouring the XDA forums re this device, it seems to me that we have two popular options (based on the comments and thanks-ratings).
Here's the link to the more popular one, it's been renamed LineageOS 14.1 by the developer(s) but is based on Nougat 7.x:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...m-unofficial-lineageos-14-1-gt-n51xx-t3533329
And if for some reason you don't like the name of that one (or for any other reason, just to have an alternative), there's another popular one called RR (short for Resurrection Remix OS). It is based on Nougat 7.1.1_r25 and nightlies of LineageOS 14.1:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...t/rom-resurrection-remix-5-8-2-rel-1-t3571116
I'm about to upgrade to LineageOS now (wish me luck). The reason I'm choosing LineageOS is 'coz it seems to be more popular and is ported to more devices.
Hi I own the same device as you and I flashed the RR rom to my tablet it was really easy, you need to root your device first and then install TWRP (Team win recovery project) after that follow the instructions on the rom
do you lose touchwiz and spen?
Hi,
Do any custom roms offer touchwiz or spen?
Thx

If you are looking to use a more current rom with Marshmallow or Nougat, then yes you will lose touchwiz and probably most or all s-pen features. AOSP roms like Lineage and Resurrection Remix are based on stock android, but sometimes they're the only way to keep an old device current. Touchwiz roms are usually adapted from original firmware or ports from similar devices. Since this device stopped receiving updates at Kitkat, the most up-to-date touchwiz roms you'll find for the Galaxy Note 8.0 will be Kitkat.
