"came across this on twitter today. it's the stock camera app, that installs like a regular app, so it does not replace any samsung app.

it installs the stock android camera, gallery and video player"

Another NOOB Question.....

Previously I used to love powerAMP. But in 4.2 I love Stock music Player very much. Mostly I love the equilizer(SoundAlive mode - Bass Boost).

But the problem I'm facing is: When I directly remove my earphones without exiting the music player(while it's in pause) my equilizer is setting the effect to NORMAL which I hate(Saying current sound effect is not supported by speaker). Is there anyway to keep it on the same Bass Boost mode so that everytime when I remove my earphones I don't need to exit my player explicitly.:confused::confused::confused:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RC Cola:
"Double Boot" to recovery, other problems.

Hello all, I have been using the Samsung Galaxy S4 on T-Mobile in the USA since close to launch, and have been tweaking it and changing ROMs for almost as long. Lately, I ran into my first soft brick, and things have been weird since then.

The soft brick was a dumb mistake, I tried installing 3minit framework on Wicked 4 ROM even though there was no mention of official support for that ROM. As a result I got a boot loop that read something like "&a#t app is already running" or "loaded" or something to that effect, then the loop starts.

I found the stock carrier .tar and flashed in Odin, installed CWM again, Rooted, then went back to my ROM-happy ways. That is, I tried to install the Domination Theme using the official instructions on my carrier firmware and ROM (rooted, but otherwise unchanged) and I landed in the same bootloop as above.

I did a full wipe in CWM and am now running the latest CM Nightly build just as a stand-in (I'd rather have T-Mo's wifi calling at this point along with other TW-specific features).

Now, when I boot my phone, it will randomly hang up on the Galaxy S4 splash, sometimes it takes just a long time, other times it actually gets stuck and I have to reboot. It will then usually boot like normal, but that worries me. Furthermore, when I do boot into recovery lately, sometimes it will "bounce" to a reboot and I have to be prepared to hold the proper buttons for one, two, sometimes even three "bounces" before it boots into CWM. I never had to do this before on my phone, I saw a friend's i337 ATT model do it though, but I was under the impression that the T-Mobile bootloader was less locked down.

Anyway, I'm worred my phone "ate" a bad download at some point, or I did something wrong, and now there's a deeper problem. Really all I want to be able to do is install stock, root it, install CWM (or TWRP when it gets fixed), then run the Truly Clean script to remove all bloat and then install the Domination Light holo theme. But now I'm scared to make another move while these problems persist.

Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HS™:
Do as I m telling mostly it will be solved

Flash a stock Rom using Odin

After it reboots go to settings / accounts / backup and reset / reset device from here

Note all data will be deleted

And after this u can root / cwm

And start flashing Roms

Let us know here incase any issue

I was actually tinkering on my phone's system folder and changed permissions of the whole folder from rwxrwx to rw-r--r--. When that happened during the root explorer change, my phone suddenly turned off and voila! my phone was bricked!

I already resorted to doing factory reset and clearing cache but still the same thing.

Just follow the installation instructions and since you are coming from a different ROM use the Full Wipe Install instructions.

After you flashed Omega, depending what your current ROM's base WiFi and LTE might not work, just flash the provided modems using PC Odin following the instructions and everything will work. No stock ROM installation needed.

1. I would go with Tasker for this and set it up so during certain times of the day the brightness is at a certain level.

2. Best way to do this would be NFC chips. You can buy them for a couple bucks and stick a sticker in ur car. Just set it up through something such as NFC task launcher so that when u tap ur phone to the sticker auto-lock and sleep mode is disabled.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Splashy2k:
Thanks for the suggestions, Tasker is very powerful indeed.

I set it up on Tasker but I still think the display is not on full brightness all the time, like sometimes when I turn on the S4 for example it will gradually go from bright to brighter in a matter of few seconds instead of going to maximum brightness immediately.

Is that normal? Maybe I need to change more settings. I think it's software related, at least I really hope it is.
