There is a whole ROM dump of Samsung Galaxy S4. So basically you can try out all the new Galaxy S4 features if your current Android phone like Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 firmware can support them. Galaxy S4 Music Player is one of them. Anything new in this music player, try it out and let me know…
Samsung Galaxy S4 is still month away. But it is getting nearer. Europe and US region should get by end of this month. Hopefully, Malaysia can get it sooner too. Anyway, you can try out some goodies from Galaxy S4 like AccuWeather Widget now. Well, this mod is made for Samsung Galaxy S3. But it might workable on Galaxy Note 2 too. So try it if you want…
CyanogenMod ROM is my favourite Android ROM for HTC HD2. But I seldom use CM ROM since Samsung Galaxy S2 because CyanogenMod team does not have Samsung Exynos SoC source code. So you can’t enjoy all the features that can be found on Samsung own firmware. But what make me try CyanogenMod 10.1 Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean ROM for Samsung Galaxy S3? Force 4x MSAA feature (Enable 4x MSAA in OpenGL ES 2.0 apps) in Android 4.2 Jelly Bean is the one. There is no Samsung firmware based on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean yet. So install CyanogenMod 10.1 ROM on Samsung Galaxy S3 is one of the way to test 4x MSAA feature (Google Nexus 7 with Tegra 3 does not support MSAA). Besides, you can also try out other Android 4.2 Jelly Bean features too…
Samsung firmware for its Android devices is almost the same. And Samsung is using CSC codes to control features available on Android devices and countries. So by editing the CSC feature.xml (or others.xml), you can enable some disabled features. This secret CSC is working on latest Jelly Bean firmware for Samsung devices like Samsung Galaxy S3, Galaxy Note 2… Not all CSC codes are working on your Samsung devices but no harm to try them. Note – root access is required.
Err… CyanogenMod ROM damaged my 64GB exFAT SanDisk microSDXC Card again when I tried it on Samsung Galaxy S3. CyanogenMod ROM like CM9 or CM10 does not support SD card in exFAT file format. It can’t detect SD card at all. And when you restore back to Samsung firmware, micro SD card will be prompted as “Damaged SD card ~ SD card is damaged. Try reformatting it.” No worry, there is an easy way to fix this issue and recover your SD card back with all files and data intact…
