dont you just hate it when Samsung has so many names for a single device?
anyways i was hoping someone could help me out
i purchased this phone recently samsung GT i8552,
i cant seem to find any custom ROMS anywhere over the internet or this forum.
believe me i used all types of search queries.
is somebody working on a custom ROM or should i try and learn how to make one?
and lastly i cant seem to understand why a quad core phone struggles with 720p HD video playback .
is it possible to remedy that by flashing a custom ROM?
thank you

Device too new?
I've been looking for custom ROMs for the i8552 this week. I think the device is too new to have custom ROMs (released May 2013), and has not elicited the level of marketing attention as the S4, S3 LTE from Samsung.
I sure hope that changes though. I chose this device over the Galaxy Express (i8730) for the mere fact that everything almost being equal, the Galaxy i8552 (or Grand Quattro as it's called in some markets) has a quad-core processor. It'd be a waste if no devs hacked up a ROM for this great value phone.
i think all users of this device should come together and form a thread.after enough users are there we can request xda for a forum..
I was wondering if a custom will allow this device to play hd videos smoothly.
if yes, then ill try building my own rom. Cuz I believe the adreno 203 gpu is atleast capable of 720p playback.
also, is it possible to decode the video using the cpu? That might make 1080p playback possible
thanks

problems installing balli boxer 4.2.2 rom
i have a galaxy grand and was trying to install Gennxt Rom by balli boxer on it.
upgraded it to leaked firmware 4.2.2 and downloaded the Gennxt ROM but the problem is when i try to install it through CWM it says installation aborted can any1 plzzz help me out with this.
Developers, give it a shot..!
Please don't make me regret for buying this phone. I only bought it because i thought that it's development will go on forever unlike its competitors Micromax A116 and XOLO Q1000.
Samsung provides the source code right? The other manufacturer's don't provide it, so development is limited.
Also, Samsung has a good service here(India) then it's counterparts.

Did you try installing busybox and sqlite via sqlite installer from the play store, then running the unlock and rebooting? I have never used galaxy tools but I know my app works on 4.4.4 after manually installing busybox and sqlite.

Try Xposed Framwork
Hi, to modify only icons you can install another launcher (nova, google launcher...).
If you want to modify also some parts of rom (icons, status bar, dialer, sms interface etc.) you have many possibility: costum rom (cyano or other), xposed framework, modifications via recovery etc. For all of them (except the first) you need root and a costum recovery.
I try to install twrp recovery and my phone always bricks and i end up spending a whole night rebooting flashing the stock usb drivers and **** cause the phone just doesnt even stay on a screen just goes black. Ive wanted the cynageon mod but i heard its not compatible with the D803(canada version) so it leaves me using like G2 exposed app which needs xposed framework but even then it doesnt wanna install the framework. Have you heard of this issue ?

Running Lollipop?
No just 4.4.2 normal LG software. Its weird tho like i installed the usb drivers in the beginning and when i was finally able to recover my it was the updated software. Not sure what it was before i bricked it the once lol. I was and still am new and still studying up as much as i can on everything. Just have the trait of when i really want something i crave and thrive to work until i can get it. So i been searching everywhere for answers. You think xposed is the way to go ?

Probably you bricked the device because the TWRP was not compatible with your model (i.e. it was for international version or other).
Recovery, kernel etc. are .img files that are specific for your phone model, if you overwrite one of them with a different/non correct version during flash you brick your phone. For LG, if you can enter in download mode, you can easily restore everything using LG Flash tool 2014 (you need also LG drivers for windows).
To obtain TWRP recovery you can see here (for 4.4.2):
droidviews.com/install-twrp-recovery-on-lg-g2-running-android-4-4-2-kitkat/
you have to download the correct version for your model...
Ive tried to install from the link but it honestly keeps saying "loki cant find something, cant let you flash" do you know how to resolve this issue? Any help would be helpful pls and thanks

Hello to everyone, I'm new in rooting and flashing but I tried sometimes. Now I'm on stock lollipop 5.0 I tried unroot as I saw on you tube but I can't get ota updates anymore even after wipe data reset etc. My fingerprint scanner is not working and also the camera is blacked sometimes. I wanna ask if I can solve all this and also if there is a fast and smooth rom with no problems. I read something about the zombie rom which is like s6. I hate touchwiz and maybe the new one is better. Can anyone give some advise?

Download the stock Firmware here
Flash it with Odin
Everything will work just fine!!
If you want a custom ROM then you gotta tell us which carrier you use.
I had the stock firmware from Samsmobile and I flashed it. It was confusing to get it since I'm from Greece and I bought the phone from a site last year. I think its from Czech republic. Everything went fine so u tried blisspop again. I have it many hours and its very solid and stable. Maybe its the update I downloaded that is not the newer. The notification sound is low but not much. I don't know if I can solve this with viper or something. Also I wanna ask will OTA work fine or I should better flash it evrytime cause if the gaps. I write to much and sorry for that thanks a lot for your answer.
Android version 5.1.1
Bliss version 3.2
BlissPop-v3.2-klte-OFFICIAL-20150504-2118

i would re-flash stock and start over with the correct files. once you mess up root it usually not a simple fix to get it straightened out, and in many cases its not fixable at all without starting over.
Thanks for responding me....
I understood you when I said " it's not a easy task" but.....
There might be any recovery for my device to get out of this trouble.
Or...should I root it once again with any good tool..m.could I suggest for specifically Galaxy Grand Neo Plus

i really dont know if there is some way around this for your device. it has been my experience with many devices that there is not, but i didnt want to say there is no way ever, because i obviously cant be familiar with every device ever made.
your best option, and the only one i know of, is to start over with clean stock.
Okay
