"PayPal Here" CC Swiper and JB 4.2 or higher

Hello all, hope everyone finds themselves in good spirits and health. I just wanted to ask a quick question about Jelly Bean 4.2x or higher. I have the Motorola Razr running stock OTA 4.1.2 on SS 3.5. I have JB 4.3 running in Slot 1. All is well with both EXCEPT "PayPal Here" will not recognize credit card swipes. It will recognize the Card Reader but no swipes. This is when booted to JB 4.3. If I boot back to Stock slot running 4.1.2 all is well in the unbiverse and "Paypal Here" will recognize card swipes. I have read and searched until I am blue in the knuckles to no avail. I have seen several people have tried to contact PayPal on to be ignored or given some generic answer along the lines of. "is you device supported". Well my device is supported and does work with Jelly bean 4.1.2. So my question here is if it works in JB 4.1.2 WHAT changed in the later versions of JB. If it works in an earlier version of JB it stands to reason that it should work with any subsequent version after unless there was a major overhaul in the kernel source and someone just forgot to put that piece in. Any direction would be great on this. Sp for now I will continue to use my phone with 4.1.2 roms but just wanted to see if anyone could give a straight answer on this topic. Thanks and look forward to your responses.

It sounds too complicated to my understanding and worry about bricking it. so far I only know how to root, install cwm and to apply roms, but sadly there is still not a rom for it. I dunno where to find the cm thread O____O

I did found this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2263170

Seems like a great project but development has halted per vacations from the guy who's doing it.

I guess I'll ahve to wait or learn how to do all you told me to! thank you so much still!:o

Updated to i545VRUAME7, stock recovery lost

Ok I did something stupid...I know. I updated to i545VRUAME7 on my verizon i545 Galaxy s4 (I wanted apps2sd) then I tried to install TWRP. I didn't know at the time that it would wipe my stock odin recovery and that you can't install a custom recovery at this time. .

My question is though, can I flash the factory image through desktop odin to get back my stock odin recovery as stated here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2301259&page=1 ?

I am just worried that at some point when 4.3 or 4.4 comes out I will be stuck on 4.2.2. My Phone works now (I figured out how to get it out of failing to load the odin recovery) but I want options. Thanks for any help.
[General Questions and Answers] Dark Wraith:
Yes you can flash the factory image and you'd be back on stock firmware with stock recovery in case you want ota updates...what you can do is flash cwm or twrp at this moment and when you see an update just flash the stock image and get that update then
[General Questions and Answers] appviz:
Thanks. I like to fix the issue in the same way it happened. I lost my root when I renamed the files.

So here is what I am going to try...

1. Pull the files using. Adb to PC and rename and push it back to phone.

If this doesn't work,

2. Install CWM and flash the zip file to install su,busybox,superSu

If this also doesn't work,

3. Reroot the phone

Unfortunately I can't do any of this right away. I will try this as soon as possible and tell you which method worked for me.

[Q] Dream Fusion for Galaxy Y Duos

Good day!

Technically, I'm new at customizing stuff when it comes to Android Phones.

(I wanted to preserve the 1 year warranty but got myself caught in boredom so I ended up looking for custom ROM)

Among all the list of ROMs that I viewed, DreamFusion really caught my attention.

The problem now is that,

It seems that not all the features were implemented when I downloaded the final "All-in-One" (v.1.5) OTA Update.

Even the Music Player was different from the screenshots they presented.

I still can't post a reply in that thread so I'm confident that someone could answer this query.

Thanks in Advance!

Here is the link to the thread.

Its not the device nor the card.the thing is with 4.3's compatibility to the swipes. As it could be that the paypal is not organized with 4.3.

This should nt be an issue with 4.2

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Factory reset in custom recovery doesn't wipe data media. It doesn't wipe everything like stock recovery would and it doesn't wipe everything like factory reset in system settings would. (BTW, That's why factory reset in system settings should never be used on a rooted device, it wipes things that don't need to be wiped and creates a bootloop).

All your photos, videos, music and downloaded files will not be wiped. Factory reset in custom recovery does't wipe internal storage, it wipes your saved settings and apps you've installed along with app data.

Your zip file will be safe and will not be wiped when you factory reset in recovery.
[General Questions and Answers] :
So I have my sd card formatted as internal but what happens when I take out the sd card ? Will my phone not function any more or what? reason why I would do this is because my micro sd slot is in the same place as the SIM slot and I kinda swap out my SIM card depending on where I am.

Also a second question while I'm at it:

Since I have my sd card as internal would I be able to install any custom ROMs or anything or I have to be on stock all the time?
[General Questions and Answers] Manuel15:
What should happen is if you have the ext SD as internal and remove it you the system will show the apps installed there as "not avaiable", and of course you will not be able to access those apps and files inside the SD until you reinsert it.

About the custom ROM, of course if you install a custom ROM, the data will be deleted (you'd wipe the data anyway, not doing it causes issues). If you try to use the same SD card after changing ROM, the system will tell you to format it before using it (because it is encrypted).
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Typically when external is being used as internal then the device won't boot or function properly without the SD card in.

Also, using these mods that use external as internal eventually burn SD cards out, they don't last. When it gets corrupted it can prevent the device from booting and can make restoring the device difficult.
[General Questions and Answers] :
Ah right ok. I just started using my sd card as internal today, I guess I'll go back to it being as portable storage. But would I be able to move apps to sd card though ?

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If your model number has custom ROMs then one or more of them may have the feature to move apps to sdcard built in. Or you can use the Link2SD or similar app to move apps to SD card, there is more than one app out there that does this.

What device/model number do you have?
[General Questions and Answers] mrrocketdog:
[MENTION=5691352]Droidriven[/MENTION] ; with rooted file manager , yes?

"err on the side of kindness"
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
To do what? Move the apps? No, not through file manager, that would be done in system settings>applications and choosing the move to sdcard option if it shows it, or via the Link2SD or similar app.

The apps could be physically moved to sdcard with a file manager but that would only change their location, it wouldn't keep the app installed and usable.

---------- Post added at 12:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:43 PM ----------

What you described about the apps being "not available" applies when apps have been moved to sdcard in the normal fashion. It doesn't work that way when external and internal have been switched, when they've been switched the device requires the SD card to boot and function properly because system runs from there not the actual internal.

And if used with another ROM you format the SD card because the device sees things the other ROM ran in system but it conflicts with the new ROM because it can't run two systems at the same time, formatting removes the confusion.

So I booted into TWRP and restored

2010-01-01--00-03-07_A10-70L_S000018_150423_ROW

incl. ALL subitems (proinfo, nvram, protect1&2,... incl. data), because I ticked ALL boxes when performing the backup.

After restart, everything is still there incl. the already registered gmail adress...

I guess I have to skip one or two subitems of the backup, but have no clue which one(s) exactly.

The TWRP FAQ was not much help to me.

So my question: which part(s) must not be restored?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
[MENTION=7313452]EZ-Poop[/MENTION], I added more to my post.

I didn't say anything about restoring anything. If you made a nandroid backup and THEN did a factory reset then entered new gmail address then after that had to restore then the old email is there because you made that backup when the device was still in the old address, you have to get the email addresses switched and THEN make a backup so that if you ever restore that nandroid you'll still be registered with the correct gmail.

I said to boot to TWRP and select the wipe option, do a factory reset/wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache(do not do any other kind of wipe, ONLY factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache) That leaves the phone in the same state it came out of the box, reboot the phone, enter new gmail address and you're good.

Then you can set new user profiles, reinstall apps and all that, set the device the way you want it and when you have it all set the way you need it you make a new nandroid and keep that as your base stock nandroid and get rid of all other nandroid. This will be your failsafe always return to backup if you ever have issues, from here you can go through testing/backup procedures making new and removing old backups.

Sir I need android 5.1 or 5.0 how can I got. Please help me
[General Questions and Answers] EZ-Poop:
Ha, now I got it, many thanks Droidriven!

But ofc now Kingroot/Purify and Supersu are also gone.

According to the guide - Supersu is -supposed to "replace" Kingroot. That was not exactly the case for me, Purify was still there. And I liked it because I could remove some bloatware there.

Now how to get both working correctly again?

And regarding removing bloatware: instead of going through the hassle of remove/test/backup process with nandroid for each application, how about trying to block with the debloater app first (because one can simply restore there) and if that works remove completely with Purify afterwards when no probs occur? Wouldn't that be somewhat easier?
[General Questions and Answers] ravikumar1s:
Hai guys my mobile does not install ota S059 please tell me the solution to install it
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I've never used Kingroot so I've never had to use super-sume to replace with superSU, I'm not familiar with how to troubleshoot issues with results of using it.

In theory blocking apps and finding the right recipe then removing them would work, no guarantees though, you may need to put something back at some point if it acts weird after that.

Does anybody maybe know if I have an unrooted Android and install app which has malware, can it stay in the Android System or cause more damage without me having a root access and would it gone after I have performed a reset to a factory settings ?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If you have malware in your system then you'll need root to remove it.

Factory resting will not get rid of your malware.

If you can't or don't want to root your device then you can flash your stock firmware via PC.
[General Questions and Answers] B4rN4b4n:
Doesn't app need a Root permissions to infect a system partition ?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
To a point yes, it doesn't require the device itself to be rooted though. Some apps can modify system without the device being rooted, theming apps are good example because they modify system partition even on devices that aren't rooted. There is a difference between YOU having root permission and an app having root permission. Some apps can get to system without root, root just gives you control over what they can get to and what they can't, it does not give you control of the fact that they have the ability to modify system, they have that permission with or without you or root.

If your question could be solved with a generic answer then this thread would be the place for you, but your question requires a specific answer because what you need basically only applies to Sprint ROMs on Note 3 and that is what the Sprint Note 3 forum is for.

Why waste time in this generic thread when your answer lies elsewhere? Would it not be smarter to just go to the area specifically meant for your device?
