Xpert ROM Review for Galaxy Nexus! GSM/Verizon

Check Out The Video!

Xpert ROM for the Galaxy Nexus GSM and Verizon gives you the Sony Xperia features on your Galaxy Nexus device. This ROM has features like the launcher, apps, and widgets ported over from the Xperia lineup to your Nexus device! 

One of my favorite parts about ROMS is that you have can get features that are exclusive to only a certain company, in this case Sony, and port those features over to a AOSP device! Xpert ROM comes with a couple of Sony apps like Walkman, Music, and Movies. You also get some widgets, but the biggest one is the Xperia launcher. 

This ROM includes the Sony Xperia launcher and is very similar to the real one, you get a very similar looks and functionality as the original one. So far I haven't experienced any problems with this ROM and it can definitely be used as a daily driver!

Download Xpert ROM using the links below!

Google Play Edition ROM for Galaxy S4!

Check Out The Video!

With the recently released Google Play Edititon phone like the Galaxy S4 and HTC One it was only a matter of time until someone ported them over to the other variants of Galaxy S4. This Google Play Edition ROM port includes everything that the original one has and everything works flawlessly! The Google Play Edition ROM port will work for the Galaxy S4 GT-i9505, AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, and Sprint! 

This was the first AOSP ROM I installed on my Galaxy S4 since I got it and it is so much better than Touchwiz. You get more memory storage, no lag, and just a clean smooth UI. Since this leak was from the Galaxy S4 Google Play Edition, Android should take full advantage of the hardware, especially the Quadcore Snapdragon! 

There are two version of this ROM, one is running on Android 4.2.2 and comes pre-rooted, while the other one is running on Android version 4.3 and doesn't come pre-rooted, however Chainfire has found a way to root the Android version 4.3 for the GT-i9505, AT&T, and T-Mobile. If your running on Verizon or Sprint use the Android version 4.2.2 specifically for your Galaxy S4 variant! 

How to install on AT&T Galaxy S4: 
Download the Android version 4.2.2 or 4.3 of Google Play Edition ROM and flash it. Do Not Reboot Your Device. Flash Loki Doki then reboot your phone. 

How to root using the Google Play Edition 4.3 version [GT-i9505/AT&T/T-Mobile ONLY]: 
1. Flash the 4.3 Google Play Edition ROM (link below).
2. Reboot your phone
3. Download SuperSU-JWR66N-S005-130625-1.41.zip to your phone.
4. Enter back into recovery mode and flash the SuperSU zip file.
5. Reboot your phone, if you asked to disable stock recovery choose "No". 

Download links for ROM + Loki Doki below:
Download 4.2.2 Google Play Edition ROM for Galaxy S4 GT-i9505, AT&T, and T-Mobile
Download 4.3 Google Play Edition ROM for Galaxy S4 GT-i9505, AT&T, and T-Mobile
Download Loki Doki
Download 4.2.2 Google Play Edition ROM for Galaxy S4 Verizon

How to Unroot Galaxy S3 on Mac OSX! - Complete Stock

Check Out The Video!

Here is a step-by-step tutorial showing you how to completely unroot your Samsung Galaxy S3 on a Mac OSX computer. Recently Heimdall has been updated to support all Galaxy S3 variants so now using the Heimdall Mac application we can easily flash stock tar files! 

Once this process is completed you will be able to send your phone back to your carrier/manufacture without them ever knowing your "modified" your phone. 


This guide will support just about ever Galaxy S3 variant including: GT-i9300, T-Mobile SGH-T999, AT&T SGH-i747, Verizon SCH-i535, Sprint SPH-L710, and Bell/Telus/Rogers SGH-i747M. 

If your running on Mac OSX 10.6-10.7 this MAY NOT work for you!

NOTE! This will WIPE EVERYTHING off your internal phone memory, back it up!!

If you are going to send your Galaxy S3 back to your carrier/manufacture you FIRST need to reset flash/binary counter!

1. Enter your phone into Download Mode. Turn off your phone then press the volume down, power and home center button. Once your phone vibrates ONLY let go of the power button. 


2. Press the volume up to continue and plug in your phone via microUSB.


3. Download/install Heimdall and Samsung Kies to your computer using the links below. Note: Both applications require you to restart your computer!

Download Heimdall
Download Samsung Kies



4. Now go into your Applications folder and open "heimdall-frontend". 


5. Go into "Utilities" tab and click on "Detect". Click on "Save As..." and name the file to anything your want. Ex. GalaxyS3PitFile. Then click on "Download". 

Also remember where you saved the file! 


6. Skip this step if your didn't get "ERROR: Claim interface failed!". Open Terminal and copy and paste these commands individually into terminal (watch the video above for detailed instructions). Then repeat step 5. 

sudo kextunload -b com.devguru.driver.SamsungComposite
sudo kextunload -b com.devguru.driver.SamsungACMData
sudo kextunload -b com.devguru.driver.SamsungACMControl



7. Download the correct stock zip file to your computer for your Galaxy S3 using the link below.

Download stock tar file for Galaxy S3


8. Unzip the stock file. Open the folder and you should now have a file like this, "XXXXXX.tar.md5" rename the file to only "XXXXXX.tar" and untar the renamed file. (watch the video above for detailed instructions). 


9. Go back to Heimdall Frontend and click on the "Flash" tab. Under the PIT section click on "Browse" and locate and select the PIT file you saved in step 5. 


10. Click on "Add" and select "ABOOT". Then click on "Browse" and locate "aboot.mbn". It is the folder that was renamed and untarred. Then click "Add" and do the process again for the all files in the folder (watch the video above for detailed instructions). 

aboot.mbn --- ABOOT 
boot.img --- BOOT
cache.img.ext4 --- CACHE
NON-HLOS.bin --- MODEM
recovery.img --- RECOVERY 
rpm.mbn --- RPM
sbl2.mbn --- SLB2
sbl3.mbn --- SLB3
system.img.ext4 --- SYSTEM
tz.mbn --- TZ


11. Once you have selected and located all 10 files, uncheck ("Resume use after "No Reboot"). Then click on "Start". 


12. Skip this step if your didn't get "ERROR: Claim interface failed!". Open Terminal and copy and paste these commands individually into terminal (watch the video above for detailed instructions). Then repeat step 11. 

sudo kextunload -b com.devguru.driver.SamsungComposite
sudo kextunload -b com.devguru.driver.SamsungACMData
sudo kextunload -b com.devguru.driver.SamsungACMControl 



If that doesn't work then unlpug your phone, take out the battery, put it back in, and enter back into Download Mode. After that plug in your phone and repeat step 11. 


13. Heimdall will now flash all the stock files to your phone. This process will take about 5-10 minutes. 


14. Once the process is complete your phone will automatically reboot. During the reboot process you will see a green Android, once the green Android loading screen goes away enter into recovery mode. 


15. Take out the battery and put it back in. Press the volume up, power button, and home center button. Once you feel a vibration ONLY let go of the power button. 


16. Select "wipe data/factory reset" then choose "wipe cache partition". Lastly, select "reboot system now". 


17. Once your phone finishes rebooting in about 5 minutes your Galaxy S3 is on completely stock and unrooted! Safe enough to send back to your carrier/manufacture.

Check Out The Video!

Currently there is no method to unroot your Galaxy S4 on both Mac or Linux. Luckily Chainfire has recently updated his app to support the Galaxy S4 line up so now you don't need a computer. 

With Mobile Odin you can completely unroot your Galaxy S4 without ever needing a computer as long as your were rooted prior to using the app. Very useful is you only own a Mac or Linux based computer or if you just can't get your hands on a Windows computer. 


Mobile Odin supports multiple types of Galaxy S4s including: GT-i9505, T-Mobile SGH-M919, Sprint SPH-L720, US Cellular SCH-R970, and Canada SGH-i337M variants. 


If your are planning on sending your phone back to your carrier/Samsung make sure you reset flash counter first!

Just follow the step-by-step directions down below and you will be unrooted shortly! 


1. Download Mobile Odin from the Play Store to support the developer or download the free version from XDA. I HIGHLY recommend you download the paid version from the Play Store!



2. Download the correct stock tar file using the link below and transfer it to your phone. Note: You may need to unzip the file to get to "tar.md5" stock file.


Download stock files for the Galaxy S4 for your specific model




3. Open Mobile Odin and grant SuperSU Request.


4. Download the add-on files.


5. Scroll down and select "Open file...". Locate and select the tar.md5 stock file you downloaded in step 2.


6. Then uncheck "Enable EverRoot".


7. Check mark "Wipe data and cache" and "Wipe Dalvik cache".


8. Select "Flash firmware" and continue. Also select "Check" to MD5 signatures.


9. You will automatically be booted into "Download Mode" with the green Android. Press and hold the power button for 10 seconds. You phone will automatically turn back on and in 10-20 seconds you will see a blue Android.


10. Wait for the blue Mobile Odin to finish in about 5 minutes.


11. Once the process is complete you will be booted into stock recovery. Select "wipe data/factory reset" and "yes".


12. Then select "wipe cache partition". Then your phone will automatically reboot.


13. After 10 minutes you will be fully booted up and unrooted!

Illusion ROM for Galaxy S3! Halo & Key Lime Pie Theme! [T-Mobile/AT&T/Verizon/Sprint]

Check Out The Video!

Time for another ROM for the Galaxy S3! This ROM is called Illusion ROM and it's available for the T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon, & Sprint Galaxy S3 variants. Two of the most notable things is the Key Lime Pie Android theme and the halo heads. 

My most favorite part about this ROM is the very cool Key Lime Pie Android themes, it brings a lot of color and makes the Android UI look even more sleeker than it already is. To make it even more sleeker it comes with all the AOKP settings! 

This ROM also comes with the halo head feature, usually seen in Paranoid Android ROMS. This feature makes it much more easier to access and get to your notifications without leaving the app you currently on. That feature is new and I haven't experienced any problems with that part of the ROM. 

Before you download this ROM there are a couple things to note. This is a BETA ROM, meaning that not everything is fully functional and the developer is still working on fixing all the bugs. With my experience with the ROM the main part of the ROM is functional, but there are bugs. 

Download this ROM using the links below!
Download Illusion ROM for T-Mobile Galaxy S3
Download Illusion ROM for AT&T Galaxy S3
Download Illusion ROM for Verizon Galaxy S3
Download Illusion ROM for Sprint Galaxy S3
Download Gapps
