Hey, good morning everybody.

I'll have to go away for a few days but just to say Hi to all of you.

@ HZA, nice to see you back :thumbup:

Now, sorry for On Topic but this YouTube black bar after rotating was driving me mad and I have some debugging without PC update/correction.

1. It works fine on NeatLSS full.

2. It works fine with 23_toggles/black status bar/green circle battery flashed.

3. It works fine with XXX Back to kill.

4. It appears after JB Reloaded theme flashed.

5. I formatted preload and system, wiped caches for about 10 times (from Philz Recovery) before flashing different ROM versions last night, without even touching data partition, even flashed stock with Mobile Odin Pro,

everything worked beautifully, no fruitloops, no freezes, no 'spontaneous reboots', no self formatting phones so next time someone comes with those complaints, HZA please give him/her your eye surgeon number.

Now, take care everybody and see you in a few days.

Regards.

Rosa has your S4 got sdcard0, extsdcard, and others called legacy and 0?

When you go into the legacy or 0 folders they just go to sdcard0 so i don't see what the point of them is?

What do you use to create the backup?

I recommend Online Nandroid backup app or OBackup app from Play store.

And for EFS backup, you can use Hc kTool app from Play store ... but I guess that you have already a backup of your EFS partition ;)

Hopefully you will never need those backups again :fingers-crossed:

Hey Bob!

Congratulations for getting the S4. May I have a question about your feelings and thoughts of S4 speed. Yesterday I went to a shop and tried S4 (quad version). The TW was lagging from time to time and the overall speed was not good imho. I felt that my S2 with Neatrom was sometimes a lot faster - i.e. while opening settings or jumping through the options.

I wish I could have S4 because of its screen, glonas GPS, NFC and other stuff, but that quad version did not make a brilliant impression that I was expecting from the best of the best samsung phones.

Yes on touchwiz it is juddery for some reason but on Nova and in general you can really tell the difference in power/speed.

TV/Virgin media etc remote is great feature!

Music is great, dual speaker earphones not as good as i was expecting but with my soundmagics its amazing.

Not even tried PowerAmp or Viper yet.

The backup was made in recovery, so nandroid?

Apparently i have folders i shouldn't have.

Already flashed ROM & kernel:o:D

[MENTION=4608459]bombaybadboy[/MENTION] This is what you were searching for earlier :)

Solution: there are two ways of solving it. Pick the one you find easier.

Root access needed

Option 1.

Download from Market "Terminal Emulator"

Open it and type these commands:

su

echo -n ON > /efs/imei/keystr

sync

reboot

Option 2.

Using a root capable explorer such as Root Explorer

- locate the /efs/imei/ folder. In that folder there should be a file called "keystr", but will most likely be missing in your case

- using root explorer create a new file called "keystr"

- in root explorer open the new file keystr in text editor and type "ON"

- save the file.

- reboot.

[Off-topic] bobdoblo:
I tell you something though, for all the hassle its giving me its a brilliant phone.

A lot of the features are great, i have kept just about all on.

The adapt sound which plays loads of beeps and you have to press yes or no if you can hear them to set it up.

It then plays all music in the dynamic range of your hearing.

The air view is also brilliant, hover your finger over things and it shows previews, like a mouse on a computer, it works all over the phone and on internet not just limited to a couple of apps.

From what i have seen so far of the battery its brilliant, i had about 30% when i woke up and it was about 6 hours later i put in charge and i had everything on and constantly using it in that time.

The lock screen has a cool little floating glowing star type thing that follows your finger around.

It has to be seen, nothing like the S2 ports.

Also write things to be displayed in any font in any colour on the lockscreen.

The music player is just brilliant, the sound quality is the best i've ever heard and thats with stock music player, no mods.

All apps look different, nicer & smoother because they are in HD.

Its extremely fast and smooth, i look at CPU and its mostly been at 800mhz, its been at 1.6GHz for less than 1% so i've not even stretched its legs yet.

Antutu here i come:D

I've not even seen half of what it can do yet either.

As you can tell, i'm loving it now i have finally had a few hours with it.

Still not set it all up yet.

Even though its bigger it feels better in the hand, i never feel like i'm gonna drop it like i do with S2.

Its strange, its the rounded shape, it just fits better and feels more comfy.

Edit, yes definitely Sale:D
