FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS​

Full/Slim versions:

VERSION 5.0 ONLY

I had issues with TitaniumBackup not restoring apps properly. Any fix?

Before restoring apps with TiBu, go into settings and activate developers options by going to settings>more>about device and hitting Build number repeatedly until you get 'developer options enabled'. Go back and into Developer Options, tick USB DEBUGGING mode and also make sure ALLOW MOCK LOCATIONS is ticked. Then go to settings> security and make sure UNKNOWN SOURCES is ticked.

This makes TiBu restores work much more reliably.

Q: S-browser is missing in v5, where can i get it?

A: It has been removed on purpose as it didn't work with the current kernel (kept FC).

Q: It seems that the Air View and Smart Stay doesn't work in this rom. Any way to fix it?

A: It seems to be a kernel related issue as Samsung haven't yet uploaded their new kernel sources. That's why we don't have a fully operational 4.3 kernels yet.

Q: Does 3minit framework work with this rom?

A: No, not yet as 3minit haven't been updated to support android 4.3.

Q: How can i get back the call recording option?

A: With Xposed framework. This module has been confirmed to work.

Q: I have poor connection and/or i keep losing connection occasionally when screen shuts. Is there a fix for this?

A: Yes. Flash mj5 modem in Odin.

VERSION 4.0/4.1 ONLY

Q: I don't have the S-Browser and Samsung keyboard! Please help!!"

A: Both the stock browser and keyboard have been deleted on purpose since they did not work well with the 4.3 leak and kept FC. You may try to install them back yourself and most likely you'll face the issues mentioned.

Q: My wi-fi keeps forgetting the ssid and it takes 30 seconds to connect. How can i fix this?

A: This is an issue in version 4.0 only, and has been fixed in v4.1. Please update your rom.

Q: My LTE signal doesn't stay on when i turn off the screen. I lose my connection completely. Is there i fix for this?

A: This is a known issue and has been mentioned in OP as a bug. In Connections/ More Networks/ Mobile Networks/Network Mode choose GSM. You can choose LTE if you want but unless you are in an area that has non-stop LTE coverage, you will face the following bug: when your screen is off, it will lose the networks and stop mobile data. That wont happen when the screen is on and its really fast. So the solution would be to have the GSM option ticked and that way you still have mobile data even with screen off.

Q: I don't like the custom EchoeRom background. How can i get back to stock?

A: To revert back to stock background please flash this .zip https://mega.co.nz/#!CwoDBRyK!Pk7V9m8tzpwxTby-dZub7yeWLB4oCXmTeSU-CWCUdJ4

ALL VERSIONS

Q: Is there a possibility of getting knox status 0x1 and thus void root when flashing this rom?

A: No, Echoe roms does not include bootloader so you will still have the old bootloader if you had it prior to flashing Echoe rom. This way you can still have an old bootloader with fully working newer firmware bases, even the new 4.3! :)

Q: I have lost the brightness bar after flashing Echoe V 3.1. How can I reinstall it back?

A: It has been removed on purpose, however you can get it back by flashing either one of the .zips below:

Add Brightness Bar: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hxsp1xo333ivim0/AddBrightnessBar.zip

Q: How to disable 4-way rotating lockscreen?

A: You can just flash one of the .zips below and remove either just the lockscreen rotation or both lockscreen and 4-way screen rotation.

Remove Lockscreen Rotation (in other words, to keep just the 4way screen rotation): https://www.dropbox.com/s/9z1eghz9lfpyb54/4wayRotation.zip

Remove both Lockscreen Rotation and 4way Rotation: https://www.dropbox.com/s/v2kuqbt6ni32iit/RemoveLockscreenand4wayRotation.zip

Q: LTE is not working, how can i fix it?

A: Using Root Explorer or an analogous app go to data >property>persist.radio.lteon.xml open the file in Text Editor and change the value to true. Save and Exit and Reboot. (if you don't have the persist.radio.lteon.xml file, download and paste it from https://mega.co.nz/#!cJhQkSBI!c3AqJDWYv0sleCNjLvFlbkhnn34b1Y7TdXwa51ajurw and change permissions to rw---)

If this doesn't work and you don't have LTE option in settings, try downloading and flashing this zip Http://l.bitcasa.com/p3BbVcQo.

Q: Is there a way to enable fast charge?

A: Currently Adam kernel does not support it, but you try Ausdim kernel instead as it has the option for fast charge.

Q: How to delete sound in bootanimation?

A: Navigate to system/media/audio/ui/PowerOn.mp3 and change it to PowerOn.bak or delete it completely using root browser or similar app.

Q: I'm getting really poor screen time. How can I fix it?

A: You need to use WLD (wake lock detector) or similar app to see what app(s) cause you wakelocks. Remember to enable system apps from setting settings.

- if it's media scanner that's draining your battery, download 'rescan media scanner' from the market to disable media scanner.

- if it's NlpCollectorWakeLock, then go to Google settings > Android Device Manager and uncheck Remotely locate this device.

It is also good to use Greenify to hibernate apps and save your battery.

Q: I have FC while trying to change volume settings. How to get it working again?

A: It is an issue with older 3minit framework. Download Echoe3minit and the problem is solved.

SLIM specific questions:

Q: I have problems with email/alarm/live wallpaper/whatever app, could you please help me?

A: Download the necessary .apk file(s) from Deleted files in here http://www.mediafire.com/folder/mru89xyk9htzh/ECHOE_Slim_deleted_Files#dw0vdb9z3ydbh and copy paste it to system/app (overwrite, change permissions to rw-r-r, reboot). If unsure what .apk's to download, address your questions to Director Of EchoeSlim Development: [MENTION=4741900]tschulieh[/MENTION]

For stock email app, you need SecEmail_J.apk (and SecExchange.apk)

For live wallpaper, you need SecLiveWallpapersPicker.apk

For alarm to work with S-view flip cover (only v3.0 and below, not 3.1), you need ClockPackage.apk

S-VIEW FLIP COVER USERS - Please check if alarm works with s-view cover closed. If not, you're running slim version v3 or before and need to download the clockpackage.apk from deleted files and follow the instructions above. Reason for this is that SLIM versions prior v3.1 has ported clock app from SGS3 and thus does not support s-view.

Q: I'm using SLIM version of Echoe and there is no stock email app. Can I get it back and if yes, how?

A: Yes, you can. Just download SecEmail_J.apk from deleted files http://www.mediafire.com/download/s4bm9mzmy72f356/SecEmail_J.apk and Copy-paste it to system/app. Remember to change permissions to rw-r-r and reboot.

Q: Can't find ringtones on my phone, where are they or why aren't they there?

A: Ringtones are deleted in SLIM versions. You can download them back from http://www.mediafire.com/folder/mru89xyk9htzh/ECHOE_Slim_deleted_Files#6d92lx1acork4. Remember to save the .ogg files to ringtones folder in internal or external SD.

Q: How can i get Google Camera to work in Slim?

A: Download and install GalleryGoogle.apk file from here http://www.mediafire.com/download/785u2w6l6culuub/GalleryGoogle.apk.

Extra questions:

Q: How to change permissions and what app should i use to do it?

A: Almost any root file manager app will do, but Root Explorer (paid app) and Root Browser (free app) are proved to work without any issues.

Q: Echoe rom md5 checksums are not in OP. Where can i find them?

A: In the download page on androidfilehost.com

Q: Where can i find Echoe banners for my signature?

A: From post #1081 http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=44372885&postcount=1081 and in OP.

And as an reminder from [MENTION=4401403]friedrich420[/MENTION] (post #3389):

A. Those who already ODIN FLASHED STOCK ROM with the new bootloader can use this Rom from whatever base they are (provided they did a FULL WIPE) and downgrade only to bases that are newer than MGA (i.e. bases with the new bootloader).

B. The lucky ones who didnt ODIN FLASH the new bootloader can use this Rom from whatever base they are (provided they did a FULL WIPE) and downgrade to whatever base they want...
