[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] BIGWORM:
Anyone have a problem with non default keyboards sticking? I have swiftkey installed, and I've used it for many months, but the ROM keeps reverting back to Samsung keyboard for some reason. I renamed the ime apk and its defaulting to the Google keyboard. I'm scared if I rename the Google keyboard apk, the ROM will revert back to Google voice, and then I'll be screwed. This is happening with a clean wipe, system and all. Any help with this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] T LEONARDIS:
Maybe deleting the samsung kb.apk in system/app but not 100%sure

Palm drag works for 8.5 as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Biker1:
You didn't mention Recovery

ODIN stock Firmware as you did

Data Format, wipes internal sd

Factory wipe, cache, dalvik and preload wipes

Install ROM

AROMA

Full Wipe

Don't forget to choose keyboard

Boot

As a note, I had a lot of whacky stuff going on with install.

The ROM would install, but some things would be missing, could not reboot, picks from Aroma nnot installed etc.

The cause was the Recovery.

I had used TWRP 2.5.0.2 issue free for months.

Buy when I attempted to flash ROMs which had Aroma cooked into them, I had issues that were all over the place. When you thought you had the solution, that solution would not work the next time the same issue occurred.

I installed PhilZ Recovery a couple of days ago, and have not had any issues.

ROM flashed properly, and everything is working as it should.

I've since booted over a dozen times without one freeze.

This may not pertain to you, but something to keep in mind...

figured it would just wanted to let peeps know im not on 8.5 but imo its the simple way to take a screen shot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jangst123:
You could freeze the other keyboards in titanium. To me, it's easier to freeze and defrost than rename.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Biker1:
What is this palm drag you speak of?

Is that a politically correct term lmao!

Yeah, I don't use half the stuff this phone does.

I tried that out a few times before, but noticed if my Palm wasn't moving at exactly 3.215 mph, I couldn't get a screenshot.

One time I tried 20:x and was successful 2x.

Maybe an anomaly.

I'll try again....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jangst123:
You need to select Samsung Launcher in Aroma when you install, then when pressing home,select set as default.

If it is already installed, go to App settings select Nova and clear defaults

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] salamandar:
I'd like to begin by stating that as a rule Infamous ROM's seem to deliver rock solid performance so I have no doubt my issues are directly related to an error between seat and keyboard. Now that that's out of the way... I seem to be be having some odd Google Play Services / Play store update issues. I cannot seem to update more than an app or two before getting a slew of 927 errors on download for the rest of the needed updates. Occasionally ill see an update message in the middle of a download stating the app requires an updated Google Play Services and would I like to update, it then attempts to download and gets the same 927 error. Beginning to wonder if i just got a bad zip file and need to re-download. Any opinions or advice would be welcome.

Thanks All,

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jangst123:
That seems to happen to me every so often. I think it has somthing to do with the play store acting up every so often.

It normally goes away in a few hours

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jangst123:
Yes, I never see it act up for that long, and I would expect to see more people complaining if it was the play store.

I would wipe cache and data for the play store, reboot and try again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Boszman:
I had same issue I cleared data and cache for both google play services and store then rebooted and now zero issues (8 updates since).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] salamandar:
I have wiped the play store cache, and tried wiping the cache and DC in recovery (TWRP 6.0.0.0). Still no luck, although i have not tried re flashing the phonesky.apk in system/app. I'll try that next.

Thx Gang,

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Biker1:
Without going into meticulous detail, as I've done that a few posts back and throughout the thread, Recovery has a lot to do with how the ROM is installed as it pertains to operational consistency, in addition to many other aspects as to the flashing, rebooting, operation of the ROM, etc..

I had:

TWRP 2.5.0.2 for months (2.6.0.0 has known issues)

TWRP worked flawlessly for months until I started installing ROMs with Aroma

Installed PhilZ Recovery and have been issue free

The above may not pertain to your issues, but something to keep in mind.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] salamandar:
You may have something here, I totally forgot TWRP hung on a wipe. I rebooted and thought nothing of it but it was oddly sluggish and I got a System UI crash before I could even skip past initial setup to let her sit for the initial 5 minutes on 1st boot. I'm gonna try PhilZ Recovery and reflash then report back. You guys are awesome, thank you!

-Sal
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jangst123:
+1 to that!

Seems that the 2 main issues we are getting are when people use something other than Philz recovery and people not being careful with what they select in aroma. Meaning not installing options that they later need.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tylerholbrook:
Yeah I have the purchased version of hd widgets. Don't really use them anymore though lol

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bankanidhi:
Hi. I tried philz recovery. Choose BioShock kennel . the phone for stick at Samsung Galaxy s4 page. Now trying to boot into boot loader but it is stuck at Samsung Galaxy s4 page. Wage to do?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Biker1:
Yes, I realized when I was having so many issues and after hours of troubleshooting, the cause had something to do between the transition from Recovery to Flashing of the ROM, after Aroma Installed the ROM and handed off to the Recovery. After you and others, which I've mentioned before, suggested I try PhilZ, I did.

Since installing PhilZ, I have spoken with Phil regarding the Recovery to Flash of the ROM transition point, and it's possible involvement in the multiple issues encountered after the initial Boot. This transition is very important, which could be the possible cause of the issues, and that

he especially takes much effort to insure that the flashing is successful, and to avoid these issues. He explained the way CWM works and the changes he has made

All I gotta say is that it works, and I'm a testament to that :)

People get caught up as I did troubleshooting all of the issues, as I did, and end up going in circles because there seems to be no rhyme or reason to the issues, as it relates yto the causes and solutions. And since the Recovery can act one way and then another in regards to how it installs the ROM at different times, it then becomes clear why the issues are so erratic.

Please read above.

Btw, the SystemUI pop up is normal, as it's a conflict bug with 3Minit Framework, I believe.

Actually, I forgot if I got that pop up after flashing with PhilZ Recovery.

I think I did....

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] SlwDrvr:
So, I just flashed this ROM today during work and I noticed that when I tried to change my Lockscreen wallpaper, it only gave me the wallpapers that the ROM includes and the travel wallpapers but not the pcitures that i wanted to use from my SD card as my lockscreen wallpaper. It worked on infamous having a custom lockscreen wallpaper.

Also, my 3MINIT settings kept FC.. did I do a bad flash? I'm about to flash again right now and hope it fixes everything. Anyone else have this small issue before?

Thanks in advance!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Biker1:
For clarification, when I installed PhilZ Recovery coming from TWRP 2.5.0.2, I did the following:

ODINd Samsung Stock Firmware

Boot

ODINd PhilZ Recovery

Boot

Recovery

New ROM intall Wipe (this is what's ask after choosing Factory/Data wipe

Flash ROM

Boot

Regarding your issue, wait a few minutes

If not booting

Recovery

Wipe cache and dalvik

Boot

If not successful, fresh ROM install.

If not successful,

Follow the ODIN steps above.

If coming from another Recovery which was involved with havingiissues, makes sense to startewith a clean slate ;)

Make sure you picked wallpaper chooser Aroma

I had the same or similar issues in addition to not being able to access the gallery from within the Camera 2.0 app.

I also could not access QuickPic gallery from lockscreen wallpaper choice, in addition to not being able to changellockscreen wallpaper from within the QuickPic app.

I ODINd to Stock, installed PhilZ Recovery, and have not had issues since.

You may not have selected a Gallery or a camera and make sure you pick wall paper chooser

Please read some of my previous posts.

Always make sure there is an md5 checksum match between the file and download.

Many of the issues are caused by the way Recovery flashes the ROM after it is installed by Aroma and handed off to Recovery.

The "fix" would be rewriting/modifying/installing the code in Recovery

PhilZ Recovery has taken great care to ensure that the flash installs without issue, and that the ROM operates as intended across varied devices and ROMs.

The issues sometimes caused by Recovery are numerous and varied.

The issues started to show up in ROMs which utilized Aroma, and is a compatibility issue between the Recovery and Aroma.

Save files to pc or extSdCard and have ROM on extSdCard to flash after ODINing Firmware and Recovery.

See my sig for link to Infamous for links to How to's, Firmware and Recovery

ODIN Firmware takes 8m

ODIN PhilZ Recovery takes seconds.

You'll be done pretty quickly.

Here is a tip that most forget to do including me:

After ODINing Samsung Stock Firmware and the device boots, it will usually get stuck on the Samsung splash log.

Pull the battery

Enter into stock Recovery by pressing power and volume up

You will see a green Android laying on his back with a red x on him

Scroll to Factory/Data reset via volume toggle

Press Power to enter choice

Scroll to reboot

Enter

The Android will stand up

Phone will reboot

The T-Mobile logo splash screen will appear for a few minutes, then boot.

After your device boots, set it up.

Power down then flash PhilZ.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] salamandar:

You can.

I was having a multitude of issues for awhile with the previous Recovery so I wanted to clean out all the Crap, so to speak.

I wanted to start with a fresh slate.

But you can just ODIN PhilZ Recovery and see how it goes.

It will install and replace existing Recovery.

If you have issues with ROM flashes you can always go the ODIN to Stock route.

Recording Failed pop up

Took 2 screenshots

After a few seconds, the 'Recording Failed' pop up appears, and the recording timer continues to operate, although the video is not recorded.

ISSUE RESOLVED:

After multiple recording attempts and multiple Warning:Recording Failed pop ups:

- Applications - Camera - wiped cache & data - Still had problem

- Trickster - changed minium cpu from 162000 back to 384000 - Issue Resolved

I recorded 4 videos successfully after making the cpu change. Duration times of 4 videos were:

20s, 25s, 1m 5s, 31s

See image showing changed cpu setting in Trickster.

Note: After wiping Cache and data in camera application, I didn't reboot device which maybe I should have. It does appear that the Trickster cpu setting Is the change that resolved the issue for me. If your minium cpu is already set at 384000,wipe the cache and data in camera application, reboot and see if works.
