[CLONE] HDC Galaxy S4 Spark (ROM UPDATE)

This phone is a 1:1 replica of the Samsung Galaxy S4, it has Air gestures,Air View, Smart Stay.
The phone has the same specifications to the HDC Galaxy S4 Legend, the only difference is that Legend has 2 sensors whereas Spark has only one (it cant understand if the air motion is coming from left or right) also Legend has OGS, whereas Spark dosent.
First of all there is no any ROM available for this device so we will have to improve the device ourselves ...
Lets start with S-View Cover
S-View Cover (How to get S-View working on your device like Original S4) :good:
1)Download and install S-view Hatroid from Playstore ...
2)Go to settings and set the options
3)Press start service
4)Oulaaa now you get s-view with clock and call answer like Original s4 using the proximity sensor
5)Hide s-view icon from the UI app pages

Wrong IMEI ERROR
Wrong IMEI ERROR
You have put the sim card in the phone but you get Wrong IMEI ERROR ...
Here is the solution ... (for most MTK and rooted devices )
1)Download and install mobileucle tools
2)Open app, go to engineer mode and press engineer mode (MTK)
3)Now go to telephony , press GPRS and write 15 RANDOM numbers and press write IMEI
4) Oulaaa restart and now you get your sim card working !!
Please dont do anything else at the engineer mode !!

S4 bootanimation
S4 bootanimation coming soon ...

Samsung apps
Did your S4 clone come without Samsung Apps ?
Here is the link. Download and install fully working Samsungapps !!

I've found a way to get Samsung Bootanimation: just dial: *#3*# Restart the phone and voilà!
Other code: Engineer mode: *#364666#
(There you can enable/disable Bootlogo, change IMEI and other good stuff)
It seems that Spark is the same phone as Meso S4

You mean boost audio on calls?
If yes, you can do this: config -> my device -> audio profiles -> BesAudEnh

Stock S4 Google Edition Camera App (cames with Android 4.3 - needs root)
1) With a File Explorer, Go to /system/app and rename Galery2.apk to Galery2.apk.old
2) Download the apk below and install it normally just clicking over it.

That would be great!

great that the Spark finally has it's own thread
just to add some info to the new thread i will say that the original Samsung Battery does fit in the spark
also original s4 s-view case fits perfectly.
Tip: if the case bulges or doesnt fit try removing the sticker off the battery and/or sandpapering the inside of your case.
any questions please ask away

I bought a Mugen battery. Just waiting to arrive.
I'll let you know when I get it
P.S.: I bought an original S-View case, too. It fits perfectly, so as the Flip Case and S4's original screen protector.

[Completed] [Q] Need help with Accuweather widget

I'm trying to install Accuweather widget on my Chinese phone Pomp W88A. It is a Odexed ROM with Touchwiz launcher. They have copied the Galaxy S4 ROM, with some minor changes. Now, there is no Accuweather Widget like on the S4 on my phone, and I would like to install it. I have tried many ported S4 Accuweather widgets from this forum, and I cant get them to work. I used Root explorer to put the files in the System and set the permissions to rw-r-r, and after I restart the phone, it shows that Android is upgrading, but after boot, when I look for the widgets, there is no Accuweather widget. Can anyone explain me if there is a way to install Accuweather widget like on the S4 on my phone, I would be thankful? I'm afraid to boot in recovery cause Chinese smartphones are unstable and the Recovery is also in Chinese, I'm afraid that I can break something...
Here's the link for my phone's ROM, maybe you guys can check it out:

(I had to separate the link cause Im new to this forum)

Sorry ... nothing found about your specific device on xda.
What about the original accuweather app from Play store?
If you don't want the Play store version, try asking in the Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum.

Which one?

Just search for "AccuWeather" in Play store and it's the first one.

Emoji switcher

Anyone have an ideal why emoji switcher isn't working with my Samsung s7 rooted? Can't get it to work. I want to install emoji one style.
Thx an advance. I'm sorry I'm French btw.

Tried that too without success. Not sure wether it was working on my S6, I don't recall.
Probably because of touchwiz, we should hope for an update I guess.

Not of a fan of touchwiz emoji's, prefert the aosp ones.

From the information i skimmed through, it doesn't work on samsung phones, but what i did was just download the emoji font file, and replace the samsung one, there should be a lot of info on this if you just search for it.

Thank you! It working!

Just found out, when I install the emoji one style from they site, the font have a weird issue. My keyboard show the good emoji but there is a bug with words. There have no space between word in text or anything else. Any ideal?

If you want to change emojis you need to get replace 1 file.
"SamsungEmoji.ttf" I think, then reboot. Just download like AOSP emoji and rename it to SamsungEmoji and put it in to /system/fonts

it worked :fingers-crossed:

It was "SamsungColorEmoji.ttf" in my S7, worked great. Thanks!

Can this download and renaming in /system/fonts be done without root?

Nope, it's in the root directory, so you'd need root to access it.

Can new emojis only show up if you send them to other Galaxy S7 phones? What happens when you send them to other phones?
When I used Galaxy S7 emoji file to replace my Galaxy S5 emoji file, all the emojis previously present on Galaxy S5/S6 correctly show up but mot the new ones.
Does that mean that additional font files are needed to display them correctly, in addition to renaming the emoji file from Galaxy S7 from SamsungColorEmoji.ttf to NotoColorEmoji.ttf on Galaxy S5/S6?

I replace the font with this one, got back Google's Emojis on the S7

I thought about it, but decided to leave this at 4pda site.
AOSP or CM ROMs are possible for the phone, but it very difficult to port them (especially for exynos soc, because that exynos soc is closed for this ROM)
