[One (M7) Themes and Apps] henrybravo:
Custom Sense ROMs such as TrickDroid have the pull down menu with the horizontal row of scrollable buttons for WiFi, bluetooth, etc (it's called EQS - extended quick settings). Also, all 4.2.2 based ROMS (custom as well as stock) have the native EQS as well (you swipe down from the status bar with 2 fingers). I'm pretty sure there are 3rd party SMS/texting apps that will let you do the swipe thing. There are definitely 3rd party phone/dialer apps that handle contacts better, I suggest trying exDialer. It installs 2 icons, one called Dialer and one called Contacts. If you don't like how the program looks, there are plenty of themes for it. Always remember the good thing about Android is you're not forced to stick with default apps for almost everything. You can potentially replace all the default apps if you so choose: mail, calendar, dialer, contacts, camera, gallery, messaging, web browser, clock, calculator, etc.

Edit: there are also apps in the Play Store like "Notification Toggles" that give you EQS capabilities.

TouchWiz Galaxy S4
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] bengali548:
hey guys

so i just got a screen privacy screen protector for my phone. i like it, but it makes my screen look too dark. when i max out the brightness, it brings back its original beauty

do any of you guys use your phone on max brightness everyday? i carry a charger with me but ive rarely needed to resort to it. my 8 hour work days are the biggest strain on my battery.

what rom/ kernel do you use to get good battery life? im running wanam lite and faux touchwiz kernel now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sharpehenry:
I get up at 5:30 in the morning. From then on, my phone stays on battery until 10 at night. Still left with around 30% bettery life. But then, I only check facebook, 2 emails and xda forums. Not too much of videos nor games. Occasionally web browsing. Im not a heavy phone users.

Oh mostly stays on wifi rather than LTE. Not sure if that helps. Always max brightness.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] j510:
Get a tru hd clear screen protector. Will never be able to tell it's even there
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] NovaSlim:
I run mine at max brightness(dynamic mode) everyday and have no trouble make it through the day. My most recent 85% discharge(still had 30% plus around 9pm, played 2hr plus of videos to run up the screen time), from 5 am to 11 pm:

18hr+ run time, 3hr+ screen time. On touchwiz..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] AdePower:
I can squeeze a full day of out the battery at full brightness.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] KennyG123:
Please do not ask what ROM/kernel gets you best battery life as every phone/user/setup/signal is different and all affect battery life. So what is best for one will not be best for another.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] seaham358:
I use full brightness and I blow through my battery most days.. I don't consider myself a heavy phone user..

surf the net on wifi and on data plan through the day. I use the camera just about every day, some texting not a lot.

screen is 34% and google services is 39% how do shut off google services? or di I have to leave it on.

everything else is 5% or less..

How can I get that feature?

Without installing xposed mod.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] kevinrubio1:
Anybody? I know I've seen this in a rom
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PostMeridianLyf:
I've been using a free app called wallpaper wizardrii since I was on my s3 and couldn't get a scrolling paper.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] milesmarrero:
I think Infamous rom has scrolling wallpaper launcher. If you don't like the rom, you can take the launcher apk from it and install it on your phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] kevinrubio1:
I'll try to see if that'll work
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] milesmarrero:
It might be frosty though. One of those roms.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] kevinrubio1:
Yeah its frost but I'm worried something bad will happen, not sure if it's safe to move the launcher over
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] maxspiderx:
Recently I have observed the strangest behavior with my phone running cm10.

Whenever I am in this particular classroom, everything works fine until i open google chrome, the phone screen will start flickering and the reception bar instantly drops to 0, battery bar drains completely empty (or so it appears), and the phone screen hangs. The only way to recover from that is by pulling the battery. However the syndrome comes back without having to open the chrome the 2nd time and on.

The only way to completely recover from that is by pulling the battery and leaving the phone off, get out of the culprit classroom, go underground, get on the train and then turn the phone back on. That's when it will start behaving normal with remaining battery level intact. Turning the phone back on before I get underground will still bring back the problem even if I have already walked half mile from the campus.

This is simply beyond my comprehension. I don't know if the problem is caused by some sort of signal interference that exist in that room(I have never experienced this in other rooms prior to this semester). Why is it only triggered by operating chrome? And finally, why is it fixed by such an unorthodox method?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
That sounds too crazy to be true...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jared King:
Maybe "factory reset" reflash The ROM. You might be able to fix it by fixing the permissions! Sorry just ideas off the top of my head!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
Dastin suggests wiping everything except sd-card. My advice, if you really like CM, do that. Back everything up on pc, do complete wipe/format, reflash. Oh, and try battery spin test?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] maxspiderx:
Thanks, I will try all the suggestions.

However regardless of the outcome, I am still bewildered as to why the problem only occurs in that room and would not go away unless I go into the subway.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DEF3NDER:
Are you experiencing any lapses in time? Strange marks on your body? I'm thinking aliens are the culprit here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
Definitely aliens. Or the government...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] maxspiderx:
I switched the battery and it worked fine for some time until recently when it started acting up again. This time, I was able to replicate the issue at home by simply opening a webpage in Chrome.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gil81:
Sounds like you need a fresh/clean install or you could try to wipe the chrome apps data and cache. You might even uninstall chrome and reinstall or yet wipe chrome data,cache and reboot recovery and wipe cache and dalvik. Short of that I agree w/the alien idea....lol. Get yourself an aluminum foil hat..:)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jxthrx:
isn't chrome bundled with gapps for CM/AOSP releases? OP could try reflashing gapps and wiping cache and dalvik. plus investing in an aluminum foil case wouldn't hurt, to prevent alien/government interference of course

OP have you tried reproducing this with any other browser like Firefox or Dolphin?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] azyouthinkeyeiz:
I have had this issue with Chrome since three second beta update. Never could rectify it. Nothing really showed when I read through the logcat. I had to quit using it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Coolfreak:
On my s3, my phone would connect to my stereo in my car automatically. The s4 doesn't, so I downloaded blue tooth auto connect and it works but it makes me enter my PIN every time I get in my car now.

Any suggestions? I've seen a lot of blue tooth issues when it comes to the s4.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Coolfreak:
Bump. I must be the only one with this issue. I emailed the dev of bluetooth auto connect and he said it's a bug in the ROM and nothing he can do on his side
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gonzlobo:
I'm having a different issue. I don't have to enter the pin, I have to re-enable Media Audio each and every time I connect to my truck.

I usually ROM my phones immediately upon getting them (dinc & nexus), and I've really been trying to stay stock, but this single issue will cause me to load a ROM.

---------- Post added at 07:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:56 AM ----------

I have 4 different devices paired to my s4,the only one that has the issue is my truck stereo. The stereo didn't have an issue with the 2 other phones (which ran cm7 & cm10).

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flipperz:
leapinlar: Ask the question on the forum. I don't like using PMs.

Recently the update allowing google play store somehow bypassed the anti-update thing on my nook, so now I can use play store on the nook home, but the update removed my root but kept the android system home.. It uses a lot of ram, which i'd rather have free to play games or other resource heavy apps on.

I know I have to get my nook to start unsuccessfully 8 times, but I don't know how I go about doing that, can I get some help?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
If you want to do it the easy way, just interrupt the boot by turning it completely off (hold power button for a few seconds) while booting eight times in a row. It will take you back to some version of stock, usually 2.0.0 or 2.0.4 then upgrade again to 2.1.0 when you register again.

Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10.1 on emmc.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeanGibson:
Another way

After my HD+ locked up when I created a "Guest" ("child") profile and I had to do the 8-reboot process, after upgrading to B&N v2.1.0, I experimented with alternate button combinations at power-on. If I held the "n" button when pressing "power", I got a prompt that allowed me to do a factory reset.

Whether that is part of a later B&N recovery module, I can't say.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
That factory reset just wipes data, it does not reinstall the ROM. He probably needs to reinstall the ROM since some of the broken symlinks may still be in /system.

Power + n takes you to stock recovery, which, without other parameters being passed to it, asks if you want to factory reset.

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flipperz:
Thanks for the help!
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rogerlig@gmail.com:
I'd like to return my Nook HD+ to stock, too. It has a Cyanogen mod that precedes that startup, and I think that's getting in the way of the 'eight reset' mechanism for a total factory reset to stock software.

Is there a bootloader, system, and gapps zip that I could just flash from an external SD card that would do the job? Seems like there was, at one time, but it's getting very difficult to find them. Any ideas for a quick factory reset (not a wipe, but a complete reset to original OS?).
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Go to my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature and flash the plain stock zip from item 6 there and follow that with a factory reset by CWM.

And it was not the cyanoboot that prevents the 8 reset, it is because when you originally installed CM you also replaced the stock recovery on internal memory with CWM. Stock recovery is needed for the 8 reset to work.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rogerlig@gmail.com:
Thanks, that worked. I also tried the rooted version of stock, but it has a problem: "Unfortunately, Home has Stopped". Is there a workaround to this?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Don't use that version, I should remove it. If you want to root, do it per the thread with universal root rev 3.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ValentinD:
Hi there,

I have a device that is also candidate for unrooting to stock. The thing is that I have tried both CWM and TWRP on bootable SD to try and fix the situation tith the apropriate zips but unfortunately none of them can mount sd ot any internal memory for me to reset.

Maybe I should also add that the device is charging without turning on except if there is a proper bootable sd inserted.

I presume a rescue bootable SD of OEM type could bring the device back to life.

I`ll apreciate any help.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
When you say a candidate for stock, why? Is there something else wrong with it? I am just trying to see if it is bricked.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ValentinD:
Maybe Bricked is the situation. The device is charging (the green light is present when plugged to the charger or USB ) but the power button can no longer start any visible boot process on the screen.

The story of the device is nearly the following:

I was using the device for a long time rooted with installed CM updating even with over night builds from time to time.

Once I had a problem booting properly after update but easily booted to TWRP and restored the previouse update.

A week ago the same situation occured, after an update procedure I left the device plugged to the wall charger and on the morning it was stuck on the CYANOGEN universal boot logo. No way found to boot to recovery found.

I figured the recovery has gone bad. Started to prepare bootable SD to try and fox the mess somehow, but could not do the corect procedure of preparing a good bootable SD many times. The only time I successfuly booted CWM recovery from SD I tried to install a zip with CWM recovery and as far as I remember at that time the bootable recovery was able to mount another SD wile it was booted on the device and the zip installed with success according to the software. Sadly after a restart the device was as is, stuck on the bootloader logo.

After 2-3 times successfuly booting both CWM and TWRP recoveries from prepared SD card, doing nothing at all that can alter the device, just tried to see how to mount any usable memory, the device stopped visualy booting without an SD.

Thank you for the reply, hope you can add some wisdome to the happy end :)
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
It sounds like it is bricked. If recovery said it installed successfully and it still will not boot normally, it is usually what that means. By bricking, I mean internal memory has become read only and nothing can successfully be written to it even if it said it was successful. Your probable only option is to use a noemmc version of SD CM. Search the dev forum for that term.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ValentinD:
Apart from the the. Is that a BN at a point of too much geting on or it has to deal with the overal life of surge protection meh a chip?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
No, it is probably from running CM11. That has a history of bricking devices with the faulty emmc chip due to applying trim automatically.

Hi everyone,

was wondering if anyone had knowledge about this issue.

When using the phone and going through an automated process, the keypad flashes on and off while I am trying to input numbers, ie: press 1 to speak to customer support, press 2 to hear the menu" etc .The pad flashes so fast on and off that I can't hit the number. Needless to say completing the call is hit or miss.

I have S111 unlocked with Android version 4.1.2 with T-Mobile

thanks in advance, SpottedRam
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Not sure what the S111 is right off hand, but its not in this forum.

But it sounds like you're triggering the proximity sensor.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that 111 = 3 :D

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] broopa:
I managed to get myself stuck in a locked bootloader with no way to get back into android or flash a rom from recovery. Would I be able to flashboot a .img file from being bootloader locked or will I have to run the RUU.

I am only saying this because I can't get windows 8 to find my phone even with the drivers installed. I am guessing it has something to do with being USB 3.0 and on a MBP. The only way I can seem to get fastboot to work is in OS X, Wine hasn't been able to run past the initial loading screen so that idea was shot. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bhavpreet:
Unlock the bootloader..if memory serves me correctly you only need to be in fastboot for that. Once you're done with that, flash your corresponding RUU (since you don't have s-off and supercid).

Or you could flash recovery by putting it in the same folder as adb and typing "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and go from there.

And lastly just factory reset from bootloader..that could also work

Hi,

I am in no way a dev, but this seems to be the best place to post this...

I have never done the wire trick or used Juopunutbaer software.

However, I recently noticed that my boot loader/hboot screen displays S-Off. What does this mean?

Hey guys, so about 2 hours ago I was at the park when it began to pour. I ran to the phone and put it under my shirt, trying to protect it, to no avail. The next 5 minutes were a total sprint back to the house. By the time I got there everything was soaked, including the phone. I immediately wiped it dry, but I also had a case on which I forgot to take off. About 20 minutes later I started testing everything on the phone possible and noticed that the compass, gyroscope, and proximity sensor stopped working. I then took everything off the phone and placed it in rice. My question is does anyone know if this damage is permanent? I know this may be a stupid question but does anyone have any knowledge as to whether or not leaving the phone for a while will fix the sensors? Thanks in advance.
