Warning: We are not responsible for any damages or errors which may occur on your device. Make sure you are ready to lose warranty in case something happens to your Galaxy S4. Do this at your own risk.

Precautions:

1. Create a backup of all personal information, settings and data files on your device.

2. Create a nAndroid backup of the current ROM which you can use to restore the system in case an error occurs. Reboot your device into recovery mode > backup and restore > backup. The ROM will be saved inside the SD card.

3. Do not use the Samsung Kies to create any backup. Manually backup everything inside your phone.

Flashing Instructions

1. Download the APK file of the application you want to install by clicking their name above.

2. Install the APK file for the application using a file manager, preferably with root access and place them to "/system/app" as a system app. Titanium Backup Pro and any similar app may also be used for this.

3. For the S Health app, install the APK file of the Sensor Service in the same method.

4. If the procedure will force you to replace an existing system application, apply the same method of installation but delete that ".odex" file. If you are using a deodexed ROM, you may not see any existing applications.

5. Reboot your smartphone.

Fixing the Sketchbook and S Health

1. Move the application's APK file from "system/apps" to "data/app" by using the file manager with root access or Titanium Backup Pro.

2. Reboot your device.
