[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andrewdexter20:
Hey guys, so I got my S4 around July 4th and realized the same day I didn't like touchwiz. Got home, rooted and threw Dubbsy's rom on it.. I have been in love with the rom since I got it, never had an issue with gibberish provider name (except once) the lack of LTE bars didnt bother me because it still worked. The only major issue I ever had with it was my recent apps option stopped working. Well I just got the chance to update it to the newest build of the deoxed version and it has fixed the LTE bars and recent apps works again. It is fantastic and I really appreciate all the work you do! The ONLY issue I have is I only have 3 home screen pages. Is this a limitation of the rom, am i missing something simple??? I could use some help here and if it is a limitation of the rom, no big deal I can live with it until a newer version comes out :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mercutio5:
Dubbsy's ROM is nice and stock, with very few modifications.

If you want more home screens, I highly recommend simply throwing Nova Launcher on there. Grab it in the Market. It looks and performs 99% identically to the stock Nexus home screen, but adds a bit of customization. It's what I'm running on Dubbsy's and I've got no issues whatsoever.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] davehasninjas:
If you still have a copy of one of the older versions of the ROM, pull launcher2.apk out of it's /system/app/ folder. I noticed the same thing and use 5 screens myself.

Once you pull the .apk replace the launcher2.apk in your current /system/app/ with it using a root enabled file manager under rw mode. Like the CM installed on the 4.9 edition or Root Explorer.

Once you've done that go ahead and reboot and you should be good.

At least, that's what I did.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scottgalit61:
Have you tried just pinching the screen to add some...???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] davehasninjas:
That doesn't work on the stock Google Edition launcher.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andrewdexter20:
Is that the only thing it changes? Any major changes to the system??

Yea, I've heard of nova launcher, would prefer a stock option, and if not then i will pick up nova launcher :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] davehasninjas:
Yea, it only changes the launcher. That's the only apk you would be replacing, and you wouldn't be using a third party substitute, it would be the genuine launcher since you would've pulled it from one of Dubbsy's older builds. I personally pulled it from 4.7.5 test since that's what I had on my sdcard at the time. Works fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andrewdexter20:
It worked perfectly! now I just have to re-arrange my icons, haha.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] davehasninjas:
Yea, I had to do the same thing lol, but now you get all 5 home screens back.

Glad I could help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andrewdexter20:
So I ran into another issue, when I go into the battery, and click on the graph to see the full data it always crashes. any ideas there?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] s0m3f00l:
GPS doesn't work either never gets a lock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andrewdexter20:
Yea ive noticed that too, guess its the sacrifice for using the rom. oh well, no big deal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
GPS works fine for me.

I thought I only put the 3 page launcher in my odex version. I may have accidentally put it in the deo also. I'll fix that on next release if that's the case.

sent from my GE gs4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] davehasninjas:
That's odd, I've never seen that issue before. I would say to do a fresh install and see if it continues. Im not able to reproduce the issue.

No issues with GPS here. Try and flash back to a stock based ROM, get a GPS lock and then flash back. It's an odd fix, but it seems to work for some.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andrewdexter20:
Yea I had this issue on the last build, it was weird, it didnt work for weeks then randomly it started working fine, but would randomly freeze once in a blue moon.

The GPS also never got a lock on the last build, and i just double checked, it just sits there saying searching for GPS never gets an exact lock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] payaso805:
im glad i saw this thread,now i wont have to make a new one.i love dubsys rom.but one thing that i cant seem to find is a thethering option.am i missing something. help?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Under more in wireless and network settings
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] payaso805:
-__- having a hard time finding it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
That doesn't look like Google Edition or BluKuban?

GE is what this thread was talking about
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] s0m3f00l:
Flashing back to my stock build getting GPS lock and than re flashing the ROM worked for me! Now it seems to be working fine....

What a strange fix...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
That's what I've been saying. The only explanation I can think of is that GPS files are written to a partition that isn't wiped by rom installs. Similar to EFS, or actually EFS itself. I've been through my EFS folder pretty extensively and never noticed any location callouts but I could have skipped over it as I was looking for other stuff at the time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] payaso805:
oh sorry didnt notice that.but the rom is blukuban on tw. :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
I'm not sure about tethering on that to be honest. I've never tried it. You should still be able to use TrevE's wifitether app on that though. It's in the apps/themes section
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] payaso805:
-____- i flashed it didnt work.well i mean treves app didnt showup.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shaps1001:
Flashing back to a TW rom and getting a lock then reflashing Dubbsy's ROM worked for me as well.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] androidfr33k:
I have an extra Nexus 7 to try and hard brick it. I am unsure why but the fastboot does not seem to be part of a partition that the fastboot erase bootlaoder command can access.

I sent this command and got message back:

MacPro-me$ ./fastboot erase bootloader

erasing 'bootloader'...

FAILED (remote: Partition table doesn't exist

)

finished. total time: 0.003s

So from above it looks like the fastboot bootloader is protected from being mistakenly erased or possible part of a rom chip rather ram or a partition we cannot access with fastboot erase bootloader command?

Thats great news for us knowing once our warranty is up we can feel more confident that fastboot commands will not hardbrick our N7.

So now the question is how people hard bricked their fastboot boot loader on the Nexus 7 2012 model unless the bootloader was not protected like the N7 2013 model?

I have a cracked screen model I might test to see if I can erase the bootloader not sure if I want to take that chance or not? I have already updated the grouper bootloader to v4.23 before flashing JB 4.3. Maybe this update protects the bootloader from the erase bootloader command?

EDITED:

I have also verified that on the Nexus 7 2012 model with JB 4.3 and fastboot v4.23 that command cannot be performed:

MacPro-N7-2012-nakasi androidfr33k$ ./fastboot erase bootloader

erasing 'bootloader'...

FAILED (remote: Unsupport Erase bootloader Partition.)

finished. total time: 0.023s

So something else happened to those people who lost their fastboot boot loader and it was not from a stupid mistake using a wrong command in fastboot!!!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Gloftking:
I WOULD CERTAINLY ARGUE AGAINST THAT!!!

in the nexus 7 2012 edition I used the "fastboot erase bootloader" command and I saw a blank space followed by "finished. total time: xxx seconds" and I could vividly remember that the versions are as you describe. Also what on earth else would happen to the nexus device to cause it never to turn on or even show a battery icon.

[Android General] Homeuser66:
Hi, Does anyone know what a good FREE app to use as a replacement for AKNotepad?

I have been using this app for a while now and like the fact that when get a new device or wipe my current one for whatever reason. All I have to do is log on to this app and all my notes are there. Basically they are stored on a cloud. Now that CATCH is no longer going to be around, I need to find a replacement.

They (Catch) have suggested:

Evernote

Simplenote

Springpad

OneNote

I have looked into INKPADNotepad and don't want to pay a monthly or yearly fee.

Basically, I just want to be able to jot something down for future reference.

I would like to know what others are using and what they recommend?

Thanks in advance!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 122ninjas:
So basically I need to get into download mode as recovery is not working (Beta Testing for Slim and it just doesnt load) so I need to use download mode. But what happens is I connect, and it says this usb device is malfunctioning. It has done that for 3 phones (All samsung, 2 not rooted and one rooted) This computer used to connect fine but now it doesnt. I've tried everything listed in threads, reinstalling kies, installing drivers, uninstalling and reinstalling, all of it. It just doesnt seem to work. I've rebooted between each reinstallation and just nothing works. I've tried all USB ports and tried plugging the phone in while in recovery, download and just regular with usb debugging on and off. I seriously have no clue what to do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Quicksilver13:
Have you tried a different cable?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
You've tried another computer? Different cables? Different ports?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 122ninjas:
I have no access to any of those except other ports and I have tried all of them on my computer
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Well, you didn't give a lot of detail, but from what you said, I would suspect that there is some problem with the computer or connection, rather with the phones. To continue to troubleshoot the problem, you'll need to get access to someone elses computer and/or cables, I guess.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 122ninjas:
Is there a way to flash stock roms without the use of an EXE? My brother has a Surface but it's an RT
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 122ninjas:
I found a spare usb cable and IT WORKS YESSSS

EDIT: So the drivers installed but Odin does not recognize my device annnnnd I fixed it by opening odin first. Noob mistake.

Trying to install Coolvetica font which I brought over from my S3. Get error "font not available".

The apk does install, and is available to select in the display settings. However, that is as far as I can get. Does anyone have any suggestions?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] rizoh66:
Use ifont from the play store.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gwojo22:
Thanks, this app worked perfectly.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] tommason1968:
At this point all I really care about is something that will keep my data connection from frequent and random drops. If not it's time to look at other options.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] naturecannon:
NEVER happens to me so I doubt 4.2.2 will remedy for ya. Maybe look into other avenues to resolve this issue
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] tommason1968:
I don't know what else it could be. Others with different devices hold their connection from the same location while mine drops. Whatever the case, it's getting old. I'm done talking to Sprint about it as the answer of "we are working on the towers right now“ doesn't work for me. If they were truly working on them the guys I work with would have the same problem.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Embluss:
The main reason I want 4.2 is so I can play with non-daily driver ROMs without dealing with the SD card when I go back. Anyone else?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] SantinoInc:
That's probably the only practical reason.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] weidnerj:
tommason1968,

I know exactly what you are talking about! I had a thread complaining about the same thing. Took my phone into the Sprint store and it failed "once" a test and they gave me a new phone and the exact same thing happens to my current phone. Can't go down the street (or even sometimes sitting still) and I lose data connection. Listen to streaming radio on Tune-In and it cuts out constantly. Used the Scout (Telenav) GPS and always got "There is no cell phone coverage / Now there is cell phone coverage" during a trip to Wisconsin and Mississippi this month.

Heard the excuse that the towers are being upgraded and that is the reason service is so poor. Almost tempted to say well put that in writing so that I can go to another wireless company without an ETF.

Came from the HTC LTE and never had so many drop outs. Yes, there were marginal spots that I would lose service, but in the past I have made it to Wisconsin and back without dropping service once not to mention 50 - 100 times, so like you think it is directly related to the phone. When you take the phone into the Sprint store, they are like well nothing what we can do, or well that is a lot of work and doubt we will find something. It is tempted to reactive my old HTC LTE and see how it does because I know where the marginal areas are at and the areas that are not marginal that I still lose connectivity on a constant basis with my HTC One.

Just wonder if like the first I-phone made of solid shell, that the metal casing isn't affecting how well the phone does in the terms of the ability to connect and stay connected to the cell towers.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] elrey75:
For me, it's gotta be the way ZOE clips will be captured as a single video file instead of 20+ images. Each time I take a ZOE clip all those 20 pics get backed up on my G+ cloud.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
And the charging speed. And the quick toggles. And hopefully the focus on the camera. And the OS efficiency.

I've managed to get rid of all the lag by turning off all animations. I just need better battery life. Everything else has been promised.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] eXplicit815:
I just want the added features of 4.2.2. I want quick toggles, lock screen widgets, etc. And the added battery percentage and what not.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
What if I told you...

EQS and percentage are already available on Viper and HTC will not incorporate lock screen widgets.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] couraage:
4.3

Who cares about 4.2? 4.3 began rolling out to the Google Experience/Play HTC Ones a few days back which has a functional IR blaster! That, with CM's new camera and this phone is going to be pretty awesome, pretty quickly.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Gumby63:
I'm with explicit. I like the aosp toggles much much more along with HTC's version of the battery percent. Also, the update will come with lockscreen widgets. They already have the implemented in the Intl version.

I for one am pretty stoked about this update. It will include everything that I like in aosp plus it will have IR.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] numus:
I just want native AVRCP 1.3!!!!!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Rirere:
What if I told you...

That the EQS included with Viper looks hideous to some of us?

Just ribbing you, but seriously-- I cannot stand how it looks in the slightest. Native quick toggles are also one less app needed to replicate functionality, which is nice if you're trying to keep things slim.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
Yeah. I think that the EQS are stupid looking too. Just wanted to make sure it was known that most of these features already exist in some form. I love the Holo style EQS, though. In the meantime, I'm using Floating toucher. Its pretty cool.

I'm more excited about the camera improvements. The number of pictures out of focus is too damn high!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sonicice:
I expect that it will be the only update released for this phone.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
No way. This is a flagship device that's barely 4 months old. Support has to be for at least a year.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] CNexus:
Good one
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] FlowingAway:
I'd be willing to guess the 4.2.2 delay is a Sprint issue more than an HTC one.

I personally am not even excited about the 4.2.2 update anymore, due to how long it's taken and now that 4.3 is out.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Rippley05:
I'm not excited about either one. I have a Nexus 7 with 4.3 on it and it doesn't look/feel much different from when I used CM on my LTE. There just isn't anything to really worry about other than the kernel.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] FlowingAway:
Let's hope Key Lime Pie brings something new and crazy to the table. These incremental updates are rather boring really.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] :
There's no accounting for taste. I for one am pleased with the backend changes and security fixes.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] FlowingAway:
No doubt. My thing is just the straight up user experience. Hasn't changed much in a while.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] :
Bored of ROMs? Not meant as a jibe, because there's definitely a lot that could be improved, but I can't say I'm overly excited about any UI things coming down the pipe. ROMs have pushed a few things here and there that I've enjoyed (PIE being one of them), but I always drift back to stock sooner or later.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Tilde88:
I expect these 4.2.2 threads to finally stop popping up. Then again... XDA proves me wrong a lot lately.

Furthermore, I expect that when 4.2.2 comes out, everyone will start making threads like "When will we have Sense 5 on 4.3" "Will we ever have Sense 5.1 with Android 5?" "4.3 has moar updates and lasers and ****, Sprint hates us, Going to Samsung on AT&T cuz blah blah"

Oh and sorry OP, I know it is not a thread asking about 4.2.2 ; this isn't directed at you. But these are my real expectations.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] elrey75:
I didn't want to start a new thread.

Can I delete the last 2 OTA update zip files from my phone without screwing up the next OTA? I'm thinking along the lines of certain apps the system checks for and fails during update. Will the next OTA look for the last 2 before proceeding? I'd like to save the 500mb. Running fully stock.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
Pretty darn sure you can. 7GB is more than enough for a ROM to hog. Take those 500 megs back!

:)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] eXplicit815:
Pretty sure when you install the OTA's, they delete themselves. Am I wrong here?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
I don't think they do. Maybe after a reboot. But I remember finding and deleting an OTA file before on this phone.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] eXplicit815:
Maybe if you downloaded the OTA, then canceled the installation. But when it installs the OTA on a stock phone, it's deleted afterwards.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] hellot1M:
I just checked my download folder. The last ota is still there. But as for the question the guy had. You can delete any and all previous ota zip files on the phone without any issues.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] s4nut:
I need some help. I have a sprint s4 on mf9 and the single reason I wanted to root and mod my phone was for free hotspot. I used to pay the $20/ month for 2gbs and had that discontinued last week right before I rooted.

first I tried motochopper, didn't work. Then I rooted and tried crwrj's mf9 hotspot mod, didn't work. Then I installed negalite using cwm, didn't work. Finally I installed triforce and still no luck. I have wiped the cache and davlik before each rom install. I should clarify, when I say hotspot doesn't work, I mean when I hit the hotspot toggle in system settings it just says that my carrier has not authorized me. Generic message.

I am a noob to rooting as of last week so I'm sure I could be doing something wrong. Is there any suggestions that you could give me as to what I can do to get the hotspot to work? Any help would be appreciated!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] s4nut:
btw, both roms install beautifully and successfully and are working great its just the hotspot feature that won't work!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] s4nut:
system info if it helps. ..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] oscarthegrouch:
Root using the cf auto root method, chainfire with PC Odin. Then grab the PC Odin tar of oudhs recovery. Then boot into recovery and flash the mf9 hotspot mod zip. That way has always worked for me. I'm on the phone so I can't easily get you links. Cfroot is in the original development section, not the custom roms. Both oudhs recovery and mf9 are in the custom development section. I can't remember if that is what the sections are actually called at the moment.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] s4nut:
oscar,

thanks for sharing, I did root my s4 using the cf root method and odin and then installed the mf9 hotsopt mod in recovery mode. You're losing me when you say to get the tar file from oudhs in recovery - I don't know if I missed that step or what I'm supposed to do there... I'm a noob!

btw, what about the triforce and negalite roms I installed -shouldn't the hotspot work out of the box once installed?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] oscarthegrouch:
In the regular development section, there is a oudhs recovery thread. In there, you'll find a zip and a tar. The tar is meant to be flashed in PC Odin. When you fire up Odin, put the tar in the PDA slot and flash. Let the phone boot completely between flashes so things can settle and get set up correctly. Any confusions, let me know and I'll clarify further.

I assume you know the difference between download mode and recovery mode on the phone. Root and recovery are done in download mode. The hotspot flash is done in oudhs recovery mode. If this is the first time you are putting oudhs on the phone, when you reboot in the menu selection, it might say something about fixing recovery because the phone wants to flash stock recovery after the reboot. Allow oudhs to fix that. It's not hard, just take your time and read what's going on. If the screen, in oudhs recovery is too twitchy, you can still use volume up and down to navigate and power to select. You'll do fine. Just don't get ahead of yourself. If you're confused then stop and look online for an answer. You'll flash everything in Odin in the PDA slot and make sure the only check box that is checked is reboot phone. Don't move the phone or computer or cable while flashing. An intermittent connection when flashing could be disastrous.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] cruise350:
Just to let you know, you can use any custom recovery. TWRP works great also and you can load that through the goomanager app from the play store if you want to simplify things.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] oscarthegrouch:
I don't remember if that recovery was, but one of the other ones, people were saying they were having problems with it. Some recent update made it unstable in some way.
