It looks like it's themed that way, but you say your touch screen also doesn't with? Have you tried a different rom in safe strap?

No theres no odin for mf3 (that im aware of at least)
Seems like you may have flashed something wrong...safestrap is not the problem...the problem is with your phone or something you flashed
Please tell us EVERYTHING youve done until it got to this state...
When did you install safestrap?
Did you make a new rom slot?
What kind of wipes did you do?
What have you flashed?
Anything else?

How can I change the screen touch sounds.

OK, let's say I want to change the water drop screen touch sound on my stock rooted mf9 rom to the sound it makes when you select multiple pictures to delete in the gallery. How would I go about making that change and how to find the files? Thanks dudes!

OK so fooled around a bit and got the touch screen sound changed. Anyone know what the sound for the back/home/menu buttons is called?

On the gs3 all of the sounds you are looking for are in system/media/audio/ui. TW_Touch.ogg and S_HW_Touch.ogg are the ones you want, assuming the gs4 is similar to the gs3.

Bingo! I knew it was just a file I missed somewhere. Was hoping it wasn't somehow inside the tw launcher apk. Thanks a lot!

No problem, I spent a lot of time searching on my gs3 because the water sounds drive me nuts, lol.

Help! Installed Chainfire3D by accident.

This has been accidentally installed (Chainfire3D) on my Rooted SGS4 AT&T 1337 MF3 - Now it is stuck on boot. Anyway to remove it?
Thanks in advance.
One would have to go through the process of clicking yes a few times and starting/setting up the app after installing. This doesn't sound like a full blown accident unless you had no idea what it does. The only way to remove it is through adb.

Yea, that's a hell of an accident. Sounds like the worst case of suicide I ever saw. Guy shot himself 6 times in the chest with a shot gun. And the shot gun only held 2 shells.

To be honest, I saw the reviews and didn't even think if the app was compatible for the SGS4. Stupid move... I know! Any idea how to do the adb thing. Is there a windows app?

You're going to want to delete the chainfire apk (I don't know it's exact file name) from /system/app.
There is also drivers from it that need to be deleted. Google will tell you.

Did you have enable usb debug checked in the developer options on your phone. If not adb it's not going to work.
That is only to access adb while in the OS if I am not mistaken. Download mode and recovery are not part of he OS and therefore do not need debugging turned on.

I never turned it off. I always leave it on.
Its pointing back to waiting... Is there a way to push a different graphics driver over using ODIN.
Chainfire is out of my expertise. I wish i could be of more assistance.

Is a factory restore from recovery not an option for you?

If it was... I would have already been done.
Well I figured you wee trying everything possible before resorting to that.
There are 2 methods to get into recovery.
Power+volume up
When the splash screen shows, release power.
When the blue text shows in the upper left corner you can release the volume button.
If that method does not work
Volume up+home+power
When the splash screen shows, only release power.
When the blue text pops in the upper left corner you can release home and volume up.
Maybe this can help if you are having trouble getting to recovery.

Once I see the blue text, it pops the "Downloading... Do not tur off target!!!" right away. Even with the steps you mentioned.
That is very strange... It should be booting recovery, not download mode...

Then what I'd do is:
1. Factory reset
2. Reflash ROM
3. Exchange phone

Ya i guess will do that, but a little later. Phone works fine otherwise and honestly i don't even think i will use any of this features, maybe wait for a few months and then get a new one in exchange
It won't work in dark environment, you need to be in good light.

Power Button

Ive been having a problem. My phone shuts down by itself and when you try to boot, it restarts too. I think the power button is kinda " stuck " so it reboots and stuff. The reason i think this is because when i press the power button, it would give me the 4 boot menu which requires you to hold the button.
So any way to clean it? or fix this without opening up the phone ?
Take the battery out first.
Get the highest grade rubbing alcohol you can find. 91% isopropyl alcohol is the minimum you should use and do not use the green kind. Use a qtip to try and get a little under the button. Then push the button and release a bunch of times. Do this process about 3 or 4 times. Let the phone sit for about 15 to 20 mons to let it all evaporate. Pop the battery back in and give it a try.

Additional info:
it "boots" when i pop in the battery but it doesnt go pass the Samsung boot screen. It only got to the slim bean one a couple of times.
Should I unscrew the thing as well ?
Unscrew what exactly?

the back? cause i think just pressing it and wiping it is a temporary solution, but the safest .i think this'll do for now . thanks a bunch. i think its cause of sweaty hands and it just got a little nasty.
might be the rom too...****... since i just opened FB and it just turned black.
All the symptoms are hardware related. The button may also be failing. You can take the device apart and do the same thing with the alcohol and a qtip.

do you know if theres a file that returns your phone to stock and removes the unlock thing on the boot screen like what they had on the GS2?
Triangle away removes the custom screen and resets the binary counter, you will have to use Odin to flash the stock firmware. I assume you are pre MF3. So MDL most likely.

oh sweet triangle away still works.
yeah not quite sure about this MDL and MF3 stuff... i got it when it first came out and stop visiting the forums. so im probably MDL. dam i have to use odin tho :T mhk. i think imma do this incase it breaks lol...
If you are MDL or earlier, you can use Kies to do the emergency recovery back to stock after triangle away.
Also, in the thread for triangle away and also in various tutorials, make sure you follow the steps exactly. It's a little different than the S2. Some make mention of needing to have unlocked bootloaders to use it, but don't worry about that as even on MDL and earlier, the bootloaders are technically locked. It will still work as long as you follow instructions.

I'am having the same problem aswell. It is really annoying. My phone is just 2 days old.
Edit: I have contacted to samsung and they toldme to bring the phone to a service center. I've been told I have a rigt to request a new phone or refund. I couldnt decide what I want to do. Because I really like this phone but there are alot of problems whit it. Apart from that screen problem. My phone freezes and restarts itself ramdomly and there is a problem with wifi connectivity
