[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 ...

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.

[GUIDE] Connecting Gearmanager with CM11

Iv'e sucessfully managed to connect my Gear 2 Neo with alot of custom roms including CM11 / Slimkat with notifications/samsung apps working.
I currently got a samsung GT-I9195 (S4 Mini LTE) running latest NIGHTLY CM11 4.4.4 and got gearmanager and apps 100% working.
1: Download the attached files.
2: First you wanna edit your build.prop to: (I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY BRICKED DEVICES DUE TO EDITING YOU'R BUILD.PROP)
ro.product.brand=samsung
ro.product.manufacturer=samsung
ro.product.model=GT-I9195
reboot...
3: Install the apps in this order:
GR.GearManagerStub.apk
GearManager1_2.apk (I Couldn't upload APK's bigger than 20MB so please see to THIS thread about the actual Gear manager APK)
goproviders.apk (v. 2.0.27)
SAccessoryService_signed.apk (v. 2.14.41)
SAFotaProvider.apk (v. 2.140442.2011)
SAFTCore_signed.apk (2.0.18.4.1)
SANotiProvider_signed.apk (v.1.0.9.42)
saproviders.apk (v. 2.0.87)
TextTemplateProvider_signed.apk (v.2.3.0)
ConnectionManager_signed.apk (v. 1.1.10)
Gear2Plugin.apk (v. 2.1.14052101)
Here's the tricky part, Install either one of the Hostmanager apk's ive uploaded (either v.2.1.14052101 or v.2.0.14031004) and try to launch the Gear manager app from your desktop link.
if it force closes and says Hostmanager have stopped or Gear manager have stopped, just uninstall the current Hostmanager APK and install the other version of Hostmanager and it should open up and connect.
if it connects just install O_signed_SamsungGALAXYApps_14093005.02.008.1_HHP_GED_oldkey.apk that you just downloaded and try run samsung gear apps from your gearmanager.
NOTE: I have got it working with alot of different roms and different Android versions on my samsung by mixing different versions of the Gearmanager APK's , i have also got it to fully work but without samsung apps on my Sony Xperia L (C2105) Using this method.
i do not guarantee this will work for you, this is the way iv'e done it tho and i just wanna share how I did it.

Will this work on cm 12?

No CM12 runs on ART not DALVIK, and gearmanager is not compatible with ART yet. but it will work on most 4.*.*. ROMS on any phone

But my sgs5 is on stock lollipop rom. And gear manager is working fine with art. Of course, the GM i use is v2.1, above that version gives notification bugs (saprovider fc's) on me even when i was on 4.4.2.

Hi!
How did you manage this to work? Do you have a guide? Which version of GearManager (2.1.14071502?) are you using?
EDIT: Nvm, I saw that you are using Stock ROM.

Yeah gear 2 works with stock 5.0 on my galaxy s5 and tizen mod 3 but only with gear manager 2.1. 2.2 does not seem to work for anybody. I don't know why it has not been fixed or why it was even released. As far as I can tell it literally does not work with galaxy s5 which is pretty much Samsung's flagship. Silly.
Anyways, was wondering If anybody got ANY custom 5.0 ROMs working with gear manager. I'm on pacman 5.0 right now and was thinking of trying the method posted above but I guess I'll just go back to stock until its easier seeing as I want to stay on 5.0 and the custom ROMs for 5.0 are pretty bare bones right now anyways. If anybody has a more simple method please post it!

Is this a solution to my problem with gear manager at S4 with lollipop (gpe ROM)? It's not working for me at all...
Galaxy S IV @ GE 5.0

Gear Manager sits at "Connecting to Gear" screen
I'm able to pair my Note 2 running CM11 with my Gear (running Tizen), but Gear manager is never able to connect. It just sits there spinning at "Connecting to Gear."
Running Android 4.4.4.
Any tips?
TIA,
Dingo

I have followed your guide and say thank you.
It is working with CM11 and a galaxy note 2 lte model.
My only issues no notification work at all upon the neo 2. Even the chinese cheap watches work very well.
I can not believe samsung have hamstrung these watches only to work with samsung android only.
I have a gear 1, gear 2 neo and gear fit. None work with CM11 it seems.

Hi,
Thanks for this wonderful thread.
I'm running on CM11 (KitKat) on my HP Touchpad tablet and changed the build.prop to be the "Samsung Galaxy 10.1 2014 Wifi tablet". Was able to install all the apks in the order suggested. Ran Gear Manager and it is able to see my Gear 2 Neo smartwatch (yay!). Clicking on the device from the Gear Manager, says "Connecting to Gear" and after a 30-40 seconds, the bluetooth is getting disconnected on the watch. My next step was to reset the watch and start fresh. After the reset, I'm still seeing "Connecting to Gear" for a long time but bluetooth is not getting disconnected. Btw, the Samsung App store app is working pretty good and updating to the newer Gear Manager is still worse where it is not even seeing my paired watch.
I'm running on the stock ROM on the watch and didn't flash it with the Tizen 3.0 ROM yet.
What are my options here? Is there any other way to make the Gear Manager to work?
The main purpose of buying this watch is to pair with my iPhone (for which I think I need to install custom ROM on the watch) and also use "Endomondo" app to transfer fitness data from the watch to the tablet. To use the "Endomondo" app and make it work with the watch, is there a way to bypass the Gear Manager completely and install the Endomondo companion app on the watch?
I'm almost close to getting this work and really hope for a good solution.
Thanks.

Go into your build.prop and turn stagefright off. Look for the lines that start with media.stagefright.xxx=false. If true is input just change it to false.

Hello friend, I do not find these lines indicated, build.prop is from the system folder? Or you mean another build prop from another folder

Install from the store build.prop app and find these lines

Samsung "Wearable" App does not accept CyanogenMod 11

Hi there, any help please ?
I tried to download Samsung's Wearable App from Google's Playstore to my S3 mini (I8190). It was refused, because my S3 had still Android 4.1.2. I installed CyanogenMod 11 successfully, hoping it should work. Download of the Wearable App worked well, however, installation failed because of OS mismatch. Then I tweeked the file /System/build.prop like:
ro.product.model=GT-I8190
ro.product.brand=Samsung
ro.product.name=GT-I8190
ro.product.device=GT-I8190
However, no change, Samsung's Wearable app does not accept CM11. I'm lost ...:crying:
Any idea ?
Thanks for help !

first flash v1 and after that flash patch v2..7 then reboot
you got new update version s8 rom:good::good::good:
developer-"* TECNICANDROID *"

I just tried these roms (first the nougat rom, then the s8 rom with the patch), in the hope of being able to install the stagecoach bus app (which did not appear in the play store when using the stock rom, I assumed that this was because the andriod version was too old but the andriod version of the s8 rom seems to be the same andriod version as stock and the app shows up in the play store there so I'm not sure what is going on) unfortunately I have to report that my tests of the apps the phone is intended to be used with (it's a second hand phone i'm trying to get set up for someone) did not have very good results.
The National Rail app seemed to work fine.
The stagecoach bus app hangs at the loading screen on both roms.
Chrome works on the s8 rom, but gave what appear to be keyboard related errors on the nougat rom.
My TFGM runs, but trying to search for locations always says "a problem occoured"

I am so sorry about that i am not a developer i found this rom form somewhere and make this thread to get easy to all s3 mini users.
This is better to concern with the developer for fix error
Please if you can see this thread then leave a comment to make the better use of s3
And also want say is that make such types of rom to make s3mini better performance and speedy
