Anyone out there still using galaxy S4 GT-I9500 ? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

GT-i9500 is almost 4 year olds. :angel:
I and my friend were buying this phone together in 2013.
Yesterday ,my friend changed to an iphone. He said S4 was great but now no one uses a 4-year-old device anymore.
I think we can prove he was wrong. I see although we just have a little dev, but we are still a big community. And i hope if the dev see that there are many people using GT-I9500, they will keep develop for our device. :good:
So who using GT-I9500, raise your hand and if you can, tell us which rom, which kernel you are using ? :laugh:

Really, we just still have 3 people using GT-I9500 ?
Please anyone ...

Stop spamming the development section because you want to prove to your friend's wet dream people are using this phone.

From what I read about it, development for that device is a pain in the butt.
If you want to use an S4, then get any of the Snapdragon variants of it.

A Request to DEVS By I9100G users

Hello and Hatss Off to all the Developers who share their Work with XDA community. I am using SGS II from sept 2011. That time, when i bought SGS II, i got GT-I9100 bt my nephew accidentally splashed water to my phone so it got malfunctioned. i gave it to service centre guys they changed the Motherboard ( charged me for it) and gave it to me in running condition bt i still use to feel sm problems with it, so i Sold it.
Now i bought a New SGS II and now this time its I9100 G. I9100 is no more available in India.
I have a habit of experimenting and flashing different ROMS on my phone but there is no development for I9100 G( except for one SuperRom ). Nd one cant use stock ROM after using Awesome Roms cooked by amazing DEVS present here ( Spl mention to Darky, CHeckrom, Speedmod Kernel, Dark Knight nd SiyahKernel).
I request The DEVS in whose country I9100G is available to please start their work on I9100G also. Its too hard to tolerate the stock Roms nd Kernels.
Spl request to GadgetCheck, He being Indian and can easily find I9100G and cook a Rom coz he is undoubtedly a master in this.
If you want a dev to work on your phone, I'd suggest you help out interested devs purchasing one... Why would they buy a new phone just to make ROMs for others? No offense!
Yeah, just because a device may be available doesn't mean that a dev is just going to go out and buy it.
Some devices are, unfortunately, so frustrating that you couldn't even get a dev to spend their time on it for free. Being OMAP-based, the G might not fit in this category - but that's why the T-Mobile T989 and AT&T Skyrocket (SGH-I727) communities are so small. As an example - even if someone offered a free Skyrocket I wouldn't touch it - I'm busy enough with the I777 and Galaxy Player as it is, that my other non-phone hobbies have suffered.
Also many developers won't do it, as a point of principle.
If you want development, buy the unbranded, EU, international model. If you cannot get one, order it on import, and just accept you have to pay customs duty etc...
Then you have the better, unclipped version (removing Exynos is crippling it).
Yes, this costs more. But it costs less than it would cost you to buy an I9100G for every developer (I presume since you were telling people to buy them, you are happy to pay for all these devices yourself?)
No Offence to the above posts but i mentioned in my previous post by making reference to those DEVS in whose countries, i9100G is available. Nd wat i forgot to mention was Those DEVS who already owe one or planning to buy one.
My bad I appologise.

I think you will find for the reasons already posted even Devs in those countries did not buy a G model and those that did can not be bothered to develop for a crippled phone .

Yes, but it's not his entitlement. It's hardly reasonable to ask a developer to do something, just because you want it, when it is at the extent of buying a new device...
Those people who ended up with a pink elephant (G model) could instead look at the differences between their device, and the regular one. They could then perhaps identify the reason why flashing the wrong rom gives a brick.
(hint, omap versus Exynos)
At that point they could look at porting the userland android core from a custom regular rom onto this device...
As long as you don't flash an I9100 kernel, and you ensure that any binaries in not going to do anything dangerous, you can probably get it running.
Maybe it will work? Maybe not... I don't know, but it's what I would do if I was in the position... The above comes unwarranted, and if it bricks your phone, you probably did something wrong. Try at your peril...
The poor guy just made a request...he didnt order or demand...especially the ones who r going all negative here...it was better for them to ignore the thread or is the prospect of insulting a random user for no reason too irresistible?? anyone who can work on G version will do so otherwise thread will go ignored...its that simple.

Kernel for Galaxy Note N7000

From the Moderator- This kind of posting is not in the spirit of XDA and it will surely flame out of control...So....
......................THREAD CLOSED......................
Hi all XDA-Community, i follow this thread and i think a N7000 need a good kernel, i have a Galaxy S2 and work with a user of XDA (bajee11) with a ROM AOKP project (Rootbox look my signature), i want to create a kernel for N7000 but i need a way to test it!
Doesn't have a work, and i can't buy a Note, but with your help i can make a good kernel for Note AOKP/CM9/MIUI based
If anyone want help to me to buy a note here is my link donations (On the donations input, insert GalaxyNote):
Here in italy this is the best price: http://www.eprice.it/search/qs=n7000&mets=n7000
If you know, where i can buy for cheap link me!
The target is around 600€
Thanks

Could you not just ask users to test it for you instead of begging for donations?

Yes, but is too slow for developing and not more people wanna test it.. It's real crazy make a kernel without phone on your hand..
I can't give a kernel with a risks of brick..
why don't you ask your dad to buy you a note? no one is such a d.u.m.b.a.s.s that he/she will donate you to buy a note just because you want to create kernel for note..

Sorry no ones going to give you 600 euros for a 'hobby' we have kernels which work fine, sure we love new stuff and I am sure you would get plenty of testers but no ones going to give you the money for a new device....
Why else do I get people to test my linuxonandroid project..I would if I had to money buy a range of devices to test it, but no ones going to give you the funds for that
Rofl why didn't I think of this?
Can see you helped test the Rootbox from, but you're not listed as a contributor and under forum status you're listed as a themer which doesn't really add up to kernel development on a device you've never used.
Sorry mate, I would happily donate and have done to the long standing devs on this forum, but not just to anyone stating they "want to make it better" without having the experience to back it up.
If you really want to develop for the note then trade in your s2 and pay the difference.

[POLL/Q] How many Devs will move to the Note II?

Hey Folks!
Knowing that there actually is the "one and only - everything belongs here - Master - Uber - Thread" for Note II stuff, I woke up this morning suddendly being such a shamless guy who thinks, that this topic deserves an own thread!
As it became very important for my purchasing habit to know if there will be a developing community (and I think that I´m not alone with this strange thoughts), I would like to ask the devs, cooks, themers etc. if they see any (great) future for the Note II and if they are planning to switch or at least to "touch" the Note II in near future.
If this poll should become reliable, I would like to ask everyone who is NOT working on ROMs or Apps to NOT touch the poll :highfive:
Hehe, okay this is very encouraging :cyclops:
gonna report the thread as its well known that theres one already to post everything about note 2... why wouldnt they develop for note 2? most devs does have and support several devices at once
and therese already a note 2 dedicated forum
Tapatalking on my N7000

I don´t know if you have read the content of this thread, but I´m pretty sure that hardly any dev will look into the general thread...and furthermore: it is not possible to start a poll when I´m not the OP of a thread. And it would become hard to get an insight about the number of devs interested in the Note II when this question is asked in a all-you-can-think-of-thread.
I have seen a couple threads closed because note2 general thread that I did not agree with. Putting them in a general thread gets them burried and then no one sees them. Rubber stamping note2 threads is not a good solution. Unfortunately I think this thread is well suited for the Note2 General thread.

+1 , spot on nianfur
Would be nice to know, which devs will be continuing support, perhaps they could simply tell us in their rom, thread , but then again look how old the s2 is and the dev is still full on. That's what's so great about xda, even the old hd2, HTC diamond and desire hd have lots of development, often lots of the new updates in the later models can be ported across, ie we have some s3 elements likewise the same will happen with the note 2.

I have used a tonne of forums to understand how they work. The forum wouldn't exist if people didn't ask questions or post their concerns.
It's about helping people and not keeping all your new found knowledge to yourself.
If by better you mean faster, more powerful, better battery life etc then the 8 core.
If you mean which will have better support for custom ROMs and software, the usa veriant with snapdragon quad core.
If I was going ti buy one it would be the 8 core but I'm going to hold out to see what nexus 5 and note 3 bring as s4 isn't enough of an upgrade from s3 but my 1gb ram is limiting and I will defo upgrade this year.

Well that's easy. One is super awesome, and the other one is absolutely terrible. But you get the decide which is which.
On a separate but related note, as others have said, this has been discussed many many times here and has resulted in quite a few locked threads, misinformation, and mini flame wars.
That's why, here at Xda there's this little rule about searching before posting...

And it is so funny how g900f users ask devs to port g900h roms to their device
The phone is not exactly unpopular because a great majority of S5 users use this variant. It is the easiest variant to obtain since it is the international variant.
Majority of countries will have this variant so you can't necessarily go into a store and buy a specific variant because most places will have this variant and may not even know the difference between the variants or may not even know that the S5 has other variants.
Essentially if you ask a store owner which variants of the S5 they have they will more than likely look at you with a confused face and ask "what are you talking about?"or "what's a variant?".
But even though this variant is the most readily available and the most widely obtained and used, devs; and even Samsung, the phone's own creators, do not want to have anything to do with it for some unknown reason.
The same thing goes for other phones with international variants as well like the LG G4.
So I would really like an answer as to why this is like this.
