I hate to keep re-posting, but my phone ran out of battery today and wouldn't reboot, meaning of course I had to reflash my backup, meaning that I have lost some handy apps I downloaded! I have literally no idea what could be causing this, and looking through the forum/google this does not seem to be a common problem. :(

Someone must have some idea? And before you say, I have wiped and wiped again, along with trying other ROMs etc

Thanks

Hi,

Did you try going completely back to stock?

Look HERE for the best guide.

If it still happens on stock,then, you might have to consider the fact that it might be hardware,and a return necessary.

Have you also tried different recoveries?

If you have custom recovery installed, you can pull sdcard with adb (no need to enable usb debug)

You must have adb files installed in your pc. Boot into custom recovery, connect your phone, open cmd and type:

adb devices
adb pull /sdcard/

Or

adb pull /data/media/

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kantjer:
I don't want to question your skills :o but are you sure you used xposed correctly.

xposed is very picky on using the correct order of things.

After installation of xposed go to the installer app , select framework, install and reboot

After the reboot install the module and activate it in the xposed installer app, modules and reboot again

After the reboot the module is active.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hawke84:
feel free to question, im new to the framework wya of doing things. i thought thats what i did but i'll give it another go. i'll totally remove it and start again. thanks :)

---------- Post added at 01:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:11 PM ----------

EDIT:

ok tried again and still no luck :( im using the xposed installed from the xposed website, tap on framework, install / update, reboot. it shoes app_process = 37 and xposedBridge.jar = 30

then onto modules, tick my installed module for 5x4 homescreen, reboot and its still the same.

is it because im not using the version that came with omega, im using the xposed app from the website?

thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kantjer:
It looks like you have done everything right, perhaps that xposed module isn't working that great.

I'm not using the TW launcher so can't test it myself. I'm almost sure the xposed version is not the problem.

Hey ,

I have the gt-i9505 , i''m on stock rom 4.2.2 , with baseband i9505xxubmga . i have successfully rooted and installed philz cwm , and i want to try some kernels in the original android development section . So my questions are :

-how do i choose a proper kernel for my phone Would any one work with my firmware or is there some things that i need to take notice of .

-would a deodex kernel work with my stock rom ?

-should i do a data wipe before or after installing a custom kernel ?

-should i reinstall applications such as the xposed framework and the xprivacy module after flashing a custom kernel ?

lastly i have my eyes on this kernel :

ChronicKernel : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2284252

and i was wondering if the

TW-JB4.2 : ChronicKernel-JB4.2-TW-INTL-v1.1.zip

is the right one for my phone .

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kantjer:
Whatever you do, make a backup first.

Make sure you choose a TW compatible kernel for your phone type. kernels for the 9505 are different than for 9500.

No need to wipe or reinstall anything before or after flashing the kernel.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xode:
That tends to happen sometimes if you often change the Custom Roms ... Go to Settings - Date & Time set everything right, "tick" Auto.data & time and Auto.time zone...reboot your phone

proximity issue while calling

Recently, my phone has been having a problem with the proximity sensor during calls. When I finish a call, or want to look at my screen, the screen does not turn on by itself so I need to press the home button for the screen to light up. This is very annoying! I even turned off the option "Turn screen off during calls" (which is supposed to leave my screen lit up all the time) and the screen still goes black.

is it a software issue or hardware?

additional info : it works when i use my fone in a room {proximity ADC 43(43,43,43) } or building, but doesn't work while using outside {proximity ADC 51(51,51,51) }.

Hello,

My s4 is stock. Is there a way to adjust the font size on the messaging app without using the volume control option? So frequently I get a text and realize my volume is on, go to turn it down only to later realize nothing happened because I was reducing an already fully reduced font size instead of the volume. If you turn off the option to adjust using the volume control, the font gets huge even if it was on small before you turned the option off.

I know this topics been asked a lot but this is a different specific question.

Can I set my own wallpaper and have it fullscreen (transparent notification bar), just like the stock wallpapers?

I have rooted my phone so the Samsung firmware updates only helps unrooted users and not me.

The thing is I am using the stock TouchWiz ROM and like it, and don't want to get a custom ROM just for this.

So the question is, can I keep using the stock TouchWiz ROM and all my data and settings, but get the transparent notification bar?

I found a mod that changes the notification bar transparency to fully transparent, but this is not a "TRUE" fix and when you hold down the home button to see the list of recent apps, the notification bar is all screwed up.

Is it possible to create a true mod to fix this?

Or alternatively, can I keep ALL my current data, apps, settings, etc. and download the Samsung firmware update somewhere, then manually flash it, and restore all my old stuff afterwards?
