The default dialer and contacts apps by Samsung are terrible. What's more terrible is that you can't even give it a rating or feedback since it's not on the store. In addition, you cannot install the Google Dialer.

I have a SIM that only works in a subset of IMEIs. I have a Zenfone 2 and I'd like to change it's IMEI to one of those dumbphones so that the SIM works. Anyone has overcome this without harming the device? I want to add my own IMEI to the Asus Zenfone SIM 1 (non G4 one), and throw the dumbphone...

Hi I have this phone for almost two years now. It worked good up until now, and I don't remember what happened, but the SIM cards don't work anymore, they're recognized, but phone indicates 'No Service'. Obviously I can't make phone calls or connect to the internet via G3 mobile data. Here's...

First of all thank you so much for all the effort!!! I know this might not be the right place, but I'm unable to find a CWM ROM, and I'm with the stock ROM. Is there a way to flash this with Odin? Or do you know a reliable place to download CWM that's flashable with Odin?

Hello. I soft bricked my YP-G70 US. When connecting to wall charger, does it charge while in soft-brick download mode (see below):

Do you still have that cwm? Any links to this one or updated ones? I'm looking for tar/md5 version of cwm for YP-G70-US, so I can flash with Odin, I tried this, but Odin says "galaxy_player_2.3.6.tar.md5 is invalid".

Hi, I'm trying to find CM9 unluckily. I tried this CWM, but Odin says "galaxy_player_2.3.6.tar.md5 is invalid". Can you please help me find a tar/md5 stock-based etc. CWM to be flashed with Odin? Thanks again and sorry for bothering!

Flash with Odin? Hi, I'm coming from a stock rom (rooted), my current 'recovery' is the Android System Recovery (3e). Can I flash CM11 with Odin or some other way? When I try to flash it from sd using recovery on device it says: "e: Failed to verify whole-file signature"

What do you mean tiny issues, camera? Really I don't mind if it's not perfect, I just need the camera to work somehow, so you still say stock is the latest?? Any other ROMs preferably ICS (supporting Chrome) are also considerable, I hope I didn't piss anyone off with this sentence.

Sorry you confused me, stock isn't the latest is it? What do you mean 4.2 the SGP 4.2 or Android 4.2? Thanks

Thank you guys for all your effort. Much appreciated kingz!!!

Sounds great! Can you please provide a link to that ROM? Is that ROM reliable or laggy? Thanks a lot for the input!

Can you please tell me what's the preceding ROM that camera does work in it?

Based on any resource for such a clear NO? Anyway, do you remember what's the previous versions that the back camera and torch work flawlessly? Any ROM type will be welcome, preferably Android 4.0 (ICS) and above, I'm addicted to Google Chrome.

WELL I GOT THE BUTTONS TO WORK BACK AGAIN, PLUS THE CHARGING BOOT LOOP IS GONE! I re-flashed and repartitioned the stock rom with pit file with odin all over again. Now I'm using stock rom, will have to root, CWMize and install JB all over again.

Any plans or ideas on fixing the back camera and torch? I was talking about the SGP 5.0 US Pac-Rom 4.3 and above.

First of all, thanks for all the effort! The back camera and the torch however aren't working. So isn't it possible to take videos from rare camera (Pac 4.3). Any plans on fixing it?

Hi, The 4.2 and 4.3 roms (Pac) have camera issues. What's the latest rom version that the camera works fine, and the system isn't so laggy, that you are aware of and can help me decide. Thanks

Nops. I got used to the pie instead of the capacitive buttons...

I want to set the cache folder of Google Music to the external sdcard using mount -o bind command I created a file (without extension) that contains the following #!/system/bin/sh mount -o bind /emmc/Android/data/com.google.android.music/ /sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.music/ I made...

I did flash the US version kernel, and even that specific version you linked to, but the buttons are still dead :(

First of all thanks for sharing. I just installed PacRom 4.3 on my SGP5 US, don't know what was it that killed the capacitive buttons but they don't respond no more, their leds are on, but no response on touch. So now I have two questions: Do you believe I can install/flash it along with the...

Hi, I need to execute a script (better said a command line with su permission) on boot. It's a bind -o command to relink google music cache dictionary, I used to use SManager, but I don't like it, since SManager sometimes starts working after Music is caching the files and is inconsistent. Is...

Downloads and download manager was enabled and the problem does exist.

Installed v4.4.22 on Pac-Rom 4.3, crashes right after launching, in less than one second.

I flashed US kernel, not only that but I tried a zillion kernel versions, all of the US device.

5.0 USA

First of all thanks for all the efforts!!! :good::good::good: I installed this ROM and Kernel (I tried various kernels) on my SGP 5.0 US and the capacitive buttons went dead. I tried moving back to prev. one (4.2.2 and it didn't help), the leds of the buttons still work tho, but the buttons do...

Well how do I make sure I have these drivers? I have a boot loop when charging device when off and device attempts to load the charging status system. Anyway I recently installed a new ROM and kernel and the capacitive buttons are dead now (their leds are still on, but they don't actually do...

I certainly flashed the USA version, I even tried this again.

First of all thanks for your effort on this great post. Indeed very useful. I wish there would be a full recovery for 5.0 like there is for the 4.0 and the 5.0 INTL (I use the 5.0 US). Anyway here are some helpful things you could expand your post with: 1) Firmwares 2) Kernels 3) CWMs 4) Full...

Hi, Just flashed Pac-Rom 4.3 with venturi kernel v7, and the capacitive buttons (i.e. the Menu/Home/Back buttons - USA version) do not respond at all, they do light up (simply because I touch the screen, not because pressing them, pressing literally doesn't trigger any action, nor does long...

Will this work on 4.3 as well?

First of all thank you for sharing this great tip. I did this and it worked, but after first reboot that script file is erased, and in the second reboot the binding is off, in smanager it complains about missing file, why is this happening?

Please ignore/delete this post.

oops it works!!!

Yes I saw a friend using WhatsApp on iPod I was so jealous. Anyway to make it work on the Galaxy Player which is the only smartphone I have? The phone I use for calling is a simple old Nokia dumbphone.

Hi, I'm having this problem for a while and don't remember exactly how it occurred, if I remember well, it started happening after flashing a non-stock ROM with CWM, but can't really reproduce it. Current CWM is Cyanogen CWM-based recovery v5.0.3.2. The problem persisted even when upgrading the...

Any clue what's causing that error? Quick settings is redundant.

I've changed some settings, can't really reproduce what, now the status bar disappeared and an annoying message pops up every 2 seconds saying: "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped.", this already happened to me 2nd time! What's causing the issue? Is there a way to reset all settings to...

Is this method supposed to be device-independent? I'm facing the same issue on my Android Galaxy Player.

It's all under settings->Launcher->Homescreen

Is there a simple way to find out whether my YP-G70 (Galaxy Player S Wifi 5) is of INTL/KOR/USA version so I know what ROM to install?

What do you mean "just use 4.2" does the camera work on it? Can you send me a link to that 4.2? BTW, i forgot how to check if my galaxy player 5 (yp-g70) is the us version, it has no physical home button. Thanks

Does the camera work? What about other features I have to compromise?

How do I invert my device to Samsung Galaxy S II, what should I change in the build.prop file?

I'm kinda noob. Can you please tell me what settings in the build.prop to change to turn my Galaxy Player 5 (YP-G50) into a Galaxy II or III phone? Thanks!

I'm a noob. Can you please tell me exactly what setting I should provide for each of the above lines in order to fake it to Galaxy S 2?

I kinda prefer the change device model solution because many apps are blocked even web I set the density back to the original setting. Anyway, I installed a build.prop editor from the market, but I'm unsure what setting to change. I think it would be grey if I can turn my device into a Galaxy...

Hi I can't install many apps on my device (Galaxy Player 5 USA) from the market, it says "Galaxy Player - This item is not compatible with your device". I'm sure if my device woulda been a Galaxy II or III it won't be any problem downloading the app. Is there a way to bypass these restrictions...
