[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cytality:
So I am starting a project called Cyality ROM and would like to know if any DEV's want to collab on this for shared and equal credit? The word "cytality" stands for cyber vitality, and in and of itself is implying that this ROM will have a long life in our community. Which is what I'm striving for.

The thing that sucks for me is that I'm a noob and can't find or develop my own base to work from. There are other stripped down TW roms out there I can use, but there's a lot of custom stuff from other devs I don't want.

So I was wondering if a seasoned DEV could do me a big, big favor and provide me with a stripped TW MDL base ROM I can build up and work with. This person will obviously get credit, but I need it stripped. I don't want anyone else's custom apps or settings in it as I want to add my own. I'd like to retain the Samsung features at first, like AirView and all that, but everything else can be removed from it.

I've already searched the forums for something like this and the closest thing I could find was SlimBean, which is nice but it's not a TW rom and it's loaded with custom settings from the devs that I don't want.

Since I'm a graphics designer not a programmer, I want to make a rom that is visually stunning to look at while still maintaining performance. I'm going to incorporate Buzz in it by default and a minimalistic theme that will be gorgeous. I already got approval to use ROMDB for beta so the ROM will have auto updating features, community alerts, etc.

So yea.. if anyone could do this for me I'd greatly appreciate it, and this person will get full credit for their contribution. Thanks! ;)

This is pretty awesome. I can find you a base. I would use the newest Brazilian firmware. Unless you are building for a US carrier. In which I would use the latest M919V fiware that came out today
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cytality:
I'm on the Sprint variant, so it's the MF9 update which is the latest. That's what I'll be developing for initially as I have no other means to test other than on my own device.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktetreault14:
Well let me know if you need a T-Mobile tester. I would LOVE yo make my own Roms, but I would have to build them off of my s4:( I need a computer
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cytality:
I just pushed an alpha version of my CytalityROM. Not publicly, however.

If I figure out how to convert it to your variant then I'll share the link. I just gotta do a few more things to it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] circasurvives:
Sounds great!!! Do you know where I can find the files and directions on how to do it? I'm running MF3...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] circasurvives:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Delakit:
1. There's an edit button you can use to modify posts instead of double, triple, quadruple posting.

2. You took the OTA therefor you can't flash anything due to the locked bootloader.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] circasurvives:
I know that the bootloader is locked, I'm asking if anyone had found away around it yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] AxAtAx:
answer is no right now, in the works. Root only so far.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] circasurvives:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] nseriessaga:
is mf3 the latest software? my phone says im on latest, but it doesnt seem to be mf3?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Delakit:
I gave you an affirmative answer. The bootloader is locked therefor you cannot flash a ROM OR even root because it won't let you. If there WAS a way then you wouldn't be asking.

There's currently nothing out there.

Yes. If you're on MDL or lower then you're not on the latest. Latest is MF3.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] circasurvives:
Yeah I'm having the same problem. For some reason, on the phone that I replaced the one I bricked with, I'm on MDL but it doesn't find MF3 when I look for software update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] circasurvives:
So what you're trying to tell me is that it is and always will be impossible to replace the bootloader and flash a different ROM??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] AxAtAx:
I hate to say that but yes, until a patch is developed to bypass the bootloader again. And I am sure someone is on it now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Delakit:
If you're on MDL then what's the problem? Install a custom recovery and flash a ROM. Also, as suggested, use the edit button instead of cluttering to threads with multiple posts. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] circasurvives:
The problem is that I'm trying to fix my other phone that is bricked ATM.
[Ouya Android Development] HT123:
I thought i would post my piece to see if it helps anyone who made the same stupid mistakes i did.

I got my Ouya last night and was not paying attention and ended up messing up the su binary. I was using wireless adb which has some issues and since i lost root i could not change my build prop.

I found the motochopper exploit was able to root my ouya and give me a useable su. From there i was able to change my build prop back to usb debugging. form there i used these drivers http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1161769 and was able to reboot into recovery and sideload the OTA.

This is a very roundabout way to restore the Ouya but it can be done, even when it seems all hope is lost.

Thanks and good luck.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sbk_hbk:
Hello,

Could someone please help me to stop service - com.sonyericsson.android.wakeup ?

This particular service is giving close to 1000 wake calls in very less time.

my phone is with stock rom & i have rooted it. I have read in one of the blog to delete "fast dormancy.apk" file. even though i delete that file, i can still see that service is wake calls to my phone.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in Advance.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sbk_hbk:
I couldn't find that file in Titanium backup application. Could you please tell me, if it will be displayed with a different name ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zupadroid:
Don't look for it in Backup & Restore. Go to Batch actions - All, scroll down to Un-install, press RUN where it says : Un-install all user and system apps, press DESELECT ALL, then search for that file, select only that file, and unistall it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sbk_hbk:
Sorry, am still not able to find "com.sonyericsson.android.wakeup" in the "Batch actions".. :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zupadroid:
Download Root Explorer, maybe that application will show you all the files in the SYSTEM.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sbk_hbk:
well, i already use Root Explorer.. In System/app folder i can see this service with file name "fast dormancy.apk" .. But infact i don't see this service anywhere running.. so am gonna check if this is waking my phone again...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zupadroid:
Well, I guess you don't really have com.sonyericsson.android.wakeup in your system, it's deleted somehow.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sbk_hbk:
Actually using root explorer i removed those files from system/app. But still i was getting wake locks from that service when i saw in better battery stats application. thats why i started this post to know how to stop it totally.

Since here one person suggested to use titanium backup to freeze or delete it, i relocated those apk file again to system/app, now it seems that service is totally missing.. making me crazy!!!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zupadroid:
Just reFLASH the ROM. Easy way out :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sbk_hbk:
am stil with Stock ROM, so i guess thru sony companion i can do a software repair.. will that work ? ( Because my phone is rooted and i haven't done anything to bootloader )
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zupadroid:
Yes, do a repair, and after that if you still want to delete com.sonyericsson.android.wakeup, do it and don't restore it again. And you'll be fine.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sbk_hbk:
okie but anyways for now i don't see it in better battery stats.. if i still see it i will try to repair it and delete it.

thanks for your time and suggestion..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zupadroid:
Anytime.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mrw1215:
I've been curious about a few things. For one, is there a "proper" way to restore a backup from TWRP? Should you do a wipe first before you restore, or does that not matter? Let me give an example of an issue I ran into. I have a (Verizon) Galaxy Nexus, and I've mostly stuck to AOKP, but a while back, I wanted to try out a different ROM. This was back when TWRP was on version 2.4.x.x, so maybe it was just an issue with that. But anyway, I made a backup in TWRP, did my wipe, then flashed the new ROM to play around with. I played with the new ROM a little, but ultimately decided I didn't like it. So I went back into TWRP, wiped again, then used the restore function to go back to the backup I made. When my phone rebooted, though, I was dismayed to find that lots of stuff did not restore properly, and I had to waste a bunch of time fixing things that didn't restore. I was under the impression that when you restore, it just returns exactly the way you left everything before you wiped it out?

Also, I'm doing something similar now, on 2.6.0.0 of TWRP. I wanted to try a new ROM, so I made a backup, wiped, flashed the new ROM, played around with it, and decided to restore my previous backup. The backup file was about 7GB. My phone seems to be "stuck", though, in the recovery process. The bar is all the way at the end (the little slanted lines are still moving), and it's been stuck at "Restoring data..." for about 10-15 minutes, now. Is this normal? I don't remember it taking this long before, although I've only ever restored a backup a handful of times. Should I just leave it alone, or should I pull the battery, or what? I don't want to screw anything up, but I kinda need to have my phone working within the next five or so hours...

Guide for Various XPOSED Modules

In this guide I will show you how to Install XPOSED Framework and its various Modules as well as how to use it.

Setting Up

First Off you need to Install the Xposed Installer.

So Download "XposedInstaller 2.1.4 by rovo89.apk" and install it normally. Direct Download Link

Next Step

Once Installed, launch the "Xposed Installer" app and click on "Install/Update"

Now you will have to Reboot so that changes take place.

After your phone has started, you can go ahead and install modules and then start modifying your Phone.

Official Xposed Installer Thread Link

All credits for "Xposed Installer" app goes to its developer rovo89.
[Micromax A116] itsarjunsinh:
AppSettings MODULE

Assuming that you have already followed the Instruction on Post #1 (the XposedInstaller one) you can follow the guide.

AppSettings Module by rovo89

With this module you can get Dual Panel in contacts and settings app. If you don't know what dual panel is then don't worry you will for sure like it.

You Can set DPIs as per your wish, and also increase or decrease font size. Make an App Full Screen.

Well this module is really awesome, but to see how awesome you will have to Download the Module.

Setting Up

After you have Downloaded the App, Install it normally.

Then head to "Xposed Installer" app and click on "Modules" TAB.

You should be able too see "App Settings [0.4]", on the left side of that there you will find an empty check-box, click on it.

As soon as you click on it a message will appear saying "Xposed module list was updated Changes will appear on reboot"

Well forget that and just Reboot (No Fast Reboot, Full Reboot ONLY).

After rebooting, now this app will be usable.

Now go into your AppDrawer and open up "App Settings".

At first it will load apps, won't take a lot of time.

Dual Panel Tutorial

Now quickly scroll to "Settings" (The settings app, in the installed App list) and once you find it click on it.

At first you will not be able too see any setting or options, so to get those options slide the "OFF" to "ON" (the one beside save button).

In the DPI change the default value to "180"

And in the "Screen (dp)" select "800x1280".

Below the "List Res" button tick the "xlarge res"

Now hit the save button on the top right corner, just below the clock on statusbar.

A popup will come "Apply Settings" just press the "Yes" button.

Done! Now you have a dual panel settings app.

You can do the same with Contacts app to but let me just tell you that modding the contacts app may lead to your phone app crashing, why? I don't know.

Force an App to Fullscreen Mode

So you want to force an app so that you can view it in Fullscreen mode, in that case AppSettings Module will help you.

For example you want "Facebook" app to go Fullscreen then you will have to follow these steps.

Find "Facebook" in the list of apps in AppSettings Module, then Click on it.

In order to change any setting you will have to Slide the "OFF" to "ON" (the one beside save button).

Once done you will be able to see lots of options.

Now tick the "Fullscreen" option. Now hit the save button on the top right corner.

Done, next time you open Facebook you will see that in Fullscreen.

Note this works on most apps but it could break some app.

In case you want to get the default appearance then open the "App Settings" app and then select the app that you had modded and then simply slide the "ON" to OFF".

After you do that, click on the save button and then hit the "Yes" button.

Back to how it was.

All credits for "AppSettings" app goes to its developer rovo89.

Could not find the Official Thread for this Module. If anyone knows it then please notify me and I will update this post with the link.

IconThemer MODULE

IconThemer Module by ruqqq

Download LINK

Well IconThemer is really a very awesome app, it can be used to change icons of app. So basically, you can use most of the icon packs available for launchers like Apex, Nova and others to change Icons of apps. The reason this is special is that unlike these IconPacks working on Launcher this App can take icons from the icon packs and change the icon inside the apk file so that even when you open the settings app to and check on apps, you will see the changed icons.

Setting Up

After you have Downloaded the App, Install it normally.

Then head to "Xposed Installer" app and click on "Modules" TAB.

You should be able too see "Icon Themer [v1.5]", on the left side of that there you will find an empty check-box, click on it.

As soon as you click on it a message will appear saying "Xposed module list was updated Changes will appear on reboot"

Do what the message said and Reboot (No Fast Reboot, Full Reboot ONLY).

After rebooting, now this app will be usable.

Icon Switch

First of, you need icons that will take over the default icons. No need to worry you don't have to make it, there are dozens of free and paid iconpacks available on the PlayStore.

Here, as an example we will choose "Holo Icons" (iconpack).

Now head to IconThemer app which will be in your AppDrawer.

The first time you open IconThemer App it will demand Root Permission, GRANT IT!

Next in the DropDown Menu below "Choose icon pack:" Select "Holo Icons" theme.

Tick "Use Icon Mask/Shaders" if it is unticked by default.

Now hit "Apply Icon Pack", Once it finishes its Job a Message will appear saying "Icon Pack Applied".

Now select "Got it!" And do a Full Reboot.

Note, you can take any Icon Pack you like. We used Holo Icons only as an example here.

XThemeEngine MODULE

XThemeEngine Module by ruqqq

Download LINK

This Module can really kill the need to install an Custom ROM. With this Module you can apply themes which change almost everything, from Settings App's Background till the Statusbar Icons and Background. This is one fantastic Module.

Setting Up

Download the App, and install it like you install any other APK file.

Then open up "Xposed Installer" app and select the "Modules" TAB.

Now you must have got a hang of it if you followed the previous tutorials too. So anyways, enable XThemeEngine.

Reboot.

Applying The Theme

Well, the themes are similar to the CM Themes and Most of them are ported from pre-existing CM Themes. But you need "XThemes" in order to work with this Module.

So, get an XTheme that you like and Install it like an regular app,

Now open up "XThemeEngine" and open up the Drop-Down Menu below "Choose theme:"

Once you open it the list will show all the XThemes installed.

Select the XTheme that you want to apply. And press "Apply Theme" Button and then Do A Full Reboot.

Done, now your phone will have a new theme.

Note that some themes may cause Glitches. But Most of them won't.
