No, they don't break your phone
Some of them can work, some not.
Make a backup of build.prop file before modifications and if something goes wrong just restore the file

Do custom roms invalidate the warranty?

Hi all,
after all the fuss about the nexus one warranty being broken by unlocking the device, does anyone know if Samsung's warranty is affected by installing a custom rom?
I did see a mention of it in one of the threads here, but the gist was basically if you flash an official firmware back on the phone, they won't know.
Does anyone know if this is true?
I don't want to go do something stupid to my new phone, and realise later I can't get it fixed.
Loving the screen on this device, and in person, it doesn't look as much like an iphone as I'd feared.
Both are true. If you flash a Rom you void your warranty but if you flash a stock ROM back they won't know the difference
Sent from my Behold II using XDA App
hope this is true, and its one of the reason i gave up on NexusOne.

The only easy way to do a backup of your rom just to use titanium backup. You might be able to make a dump of your current state but that would involve adb and working on getting that dump into an odin file structure. There is no nandroid like service yet.

Bro I'll give a advice. I can see you have not much experience nor confidence in what you will do. If I was you I give a try in maclaw's cm11 first & if you don't like it you can always flash this awesome stock (modded) rom. No one here (s3 mini forum) has that issue & btw the link that you gave me is for Samsung Galaxy S I9000 not s3 mini, so if you still want to flash that sms fix you should ask to the dev (on his thread) if it works on s3 mini. I'm going out now so, have a nice day & happy new year, again

Only the Samsung roms have this problem. Cm roms dont do that. So you can flash cm ,go to maclaw.pl ,downloads, s3 mini and then cyanogenmod. Whichever version you want, I would suggest cm 10.2 cause doesn't have many bugs. Otherwise if you want to download a Samsung rom that doesn't have that problem, check the android development forum you will find many of them. If you have a deodex Rom you can flash the secMms mod which is found on s3 mini themes and apps forum. If you don't know what deodex means our you are odexed follow the previous advice. And a last thing: HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
Sent from my GT-I8190 using Tapatalk
Another thing you can do is to install xposed framework and download from the xposed installer the "disable sms convert to mms" module, enable it and then reboot

i think the solution is via xposed with a module that can help you with no mms conversation or try re installing a rom

well thats why I asked for the original build.prop.
I was actually editing my build prop, n only later did I realize I had not made a backup of my original. my phone is not bricked, its working fine, its just that I need to have the original or the most stock build.prop I can get, for comparisons sake also.

[HELP][PATCH][G800H] Project Lucky ROM for S5 Mini — Fingerprint [SOLVED]

Hey guys, I don't know if all of you already know about that, but I am the guy who is making the Patch for S5 Mini get support for this ROM.
This ROM is for now only for S3 Neo, but soon it will get support for S5 Mini and Grand 2.
About S5 Mini, Fingerprint support is missing, cause: I don't know exactly.
I want to ask if someone could help me giving or saying where are the Fingerprint files needed to make it works (I already know the FingerprintService and the File in system/etc/permissions). I would be grateful if anyone help me to find it.
Feel free to help and thank you for any help
EDIT 13/11/16 [DD/MM/YY]: I found the problem and now it is fixed (Fixed version didn't release yet - When it release S5 MINI I won't need any patch, only the ROM zip)
Thread link for S5 Mini:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5-mini/development/rom-project-lucky-s7-style-rom-t3474910
You know about that Patch for making the fingerprint compatible to CM? Maybe that helps? You could ask @hennymcc he probably can help.
Or @CTXz because they made CM 13

Maybe CM have the same names, so if you have the patch for CM13 you could tell me them. Thx.

Oh yes, that would be great.
The rom is Smallwiz and it runs under the Note 7 framework. Other roms with the same framework (or S7 framework) exist but all the developers have given up on fixing the bug.

yes, its working. but not for me though. maybe i didnt installed properly or something i just decided on going back to my stable b360. at the very least, emui is far far better than the latest touchwiz stuff, i dont mind not going for custom roms on kirin than on samsung devices, as long as i can have magisk + viper working.

ok. not going to work.
1. it is for Che1 (SnapDragon), OURS is Che2 (Kirin).
2. No, you cant change the model code like that. Yes, you can edit it, but the hardware itself wont change. The chip itself cant be changed via a simple code edit.
So, the rom link you gave, not going to work. Or else, get Modaco rom for Che2.
