Hi Sahaab!

I try to test with your example code, add credits to main menu, and follow step by step as your instructions in post #1. And I compiled it sucsessfully, then sign it. But when i used adb push the new-setting.apk in my phone, I get settings FC, and myphone was lost the settings in app drawer.

Can you help me. I attached the zipped Decompiled Settings. Thanks!
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Sahaab:
Try rebooting

If that doesnt work then try installing the apk manually, while doing this, check if the installer says that this is a system app already or not

If none of these work, then it isnt signed properly

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] :
any help?

im really confused i dont know whats wrong with it!
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Sahaab:
sorry late reply

so cud i get a logcat plz

use this code to add header

<header android:title="@string/header_name" />

and make sure to add a string with the name

<string name="header_name">Header Name</string>

this code should work

p.s you are adding header in the main settings page right?

if u are adding in a place which is not main u must add like

<PreferenceCategory android:title="@string/header_name" android:key="header_new" />
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] :
thank you bro.

no problem;)

i solved it.

it was just related to apktool.....

sometimes apktool become a little stupid :D
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Aciong.Aksaya:
If I were to delete the activity I'll just remove

<PreferenceScreen android:title="@string/device_credit" android:key="credits_info" android:summary="@string/device_credit_summary">
<intent android:targetPackage="com.android.settings" android:action="android.intent.action.MAIN" android:targetClass="com.android.settings.deviceinfo.Credits" />
</PreferenceScreen>

And recompile... Right?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Sahaab:
Yep
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Aciong.Aksaya:
Even I didn't remove these?

<string name="credits_activity_title">Credits</string>
<string name="device_credit">Credits</string>
<string name="device_credit_summary"></string>
<string name="credit_dev_header">Developed By:</string>
<string name="credit_dev_name">"Name Here"</string>
<string name="credit_header">Thanks To:</string>
<string name="credit_name">"-Name Here \n
-Name Here \n
-Name Here \n
-Name Here \n
-Name Here \n
-Name Here"</string>

I fear that somehow APKTool will give error message. Though I haven't tested it yet. Just a thought.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] pepitoff:
Don't fear of the dark :)

Just try and will see.

Decompile Settings.apk. Remove activity you want and compile it back.

Don't forget to place original META-INF folder and AndroidManifest.xml to new compiled apk via 7-Zip File manager.

This is all.

Success!

Have you still got the MG4 baseband?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sprajo:
Baseband is ARIZA_V (0.4)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Baseband = modem = radio.

it MUST be MG4 on an MG4 ROM. Pardus comes with MG4 baseband. Did you flash another?

Ariza is not a baseband :/

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Be explicit please. Was it mg4?

If it was mg4, you need to send for repair
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sprajo:
I don't know was it mg4 :( I buyed the phone couple days ago, and then i flashed leaked 4.2.2 firmware, then i installed pardus rom then i noticed no network, and when i look at my IMEI 0049 first 4 numbers
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
The thing is mg4 baseband changes format of efs folder. Pardus is mg4. So now there are 2 choices...

1) restore efs (not option you said)

2) ensure you have mg4 baseband.

Once you have flashed mg4, mg4 is the only baseband that can read efs (and in turn - imei).

So make sure you have mg4 baseband

If you do have mg4 baseband already and imei still gone, you need to send for repair
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sprajo:
Mate where can i check if i have mg4 baseband?

i restored it to stock rom baseband version is I9300XXEMC2

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Like I've already said, only baseband mg4 can read your imei now!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sprajo:
Do you have link to download mg4 baseband? or rom with that baseband,
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I don't. The official rom is on sammobile.com
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sprajo:
and u think if i put rom with mg4 baseband it will work?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sprajo:
Hey mate i FIXED it using your method, i downloaded mg4 firmware, and now my Imei is back, service is up and runing, thanks alot! One more question can now i flash some custom roms or i will get invalid imei again?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Don't flash anything until you take time to read the faqs and guides .

basic knowledge is required ignorance just leads to a bricked phone .
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pinsb:

Same Problem?

I am having the same problem, I flashed to a custom rom and for some reason I now have no service and the wrong IMEI number, I have a phone which is locked to T-Mobile UK and I have installed stock firmware with no success. :( What is MG4? Is that something which is also relevant to me? I have tried a number of different modems with no luck? :(

Android 4.0.4 - Stock

Baseband: I9300XXLE8

Kernal: 3.0.15-554452-User

IMEI: 0049

would you please give me some advice, I agree this is my own stupidity and arrogance as I didn't do my Pre Homework.

I also did not back up any files :silly:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TejasBaing:
My Solution :-

Dude don't worry i had the same problem. First thing you should do now is to get your network and imei back which you can do by flashing a stock firmware from your region using odin. Go over here and download the stock firmware from your region [ samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9300] . flash it using odin.

You are done !
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
This only works if your region happens to have the MG2 or MG4 or MH1 Modem included.

[Nexus 4 General] OnlySkills:
In the recent 4.3 update, the Nexus 4's touch screen was revamped, and obtained much increased responsiveness. The same responsiveness you get on a Galaxy or iPhone device. But something still didn't feel right to me, it wasn't AS responsive (on the home screens) to me as a Galaxy Note 2, or an iPhone.

It's because when you swipe, there's this initial, miniscule, 2-3mm delay before it chooses to swipe. Similar to that 1cm pinch-to-zoom delay, which I believe is a feature to prevent accidental scrolling. Try it yourself: Swipe your finger for around 2-3mm, and you will note nothing happening. I think that swipe delay is also a "feature" to let your finger move a little when holding the home screen for the menu to pop up, so I believe it can be fixed, because the touch software otherwise should be on par with other devices. LG/Google should get rid of these delays altogether to be honest, the majority doesn't prefer them anyway.
[Nexus 4 General] meangreenie:
I feel it's more like the dead zone has been increased, I don't like it what ever it is.

Gone back to the 015 driver from initial 4.2 pre release.
[Nexus 4 General] naenee:
I don't mind nor really notice it.
[Nexus 4 General] gsmaciel:
I really couldn't see the difference from the previous version. The "dead zones" feel exactly the same as they were before. Good thing it's barely noticeable and not too annoying unless you're paying attention to it.
[Nexus 4 General] OnlySkills:
Yea but is there anyway to reach out to them so they can just take out this delay? It'll become Galaxy-like smooth..everybody wants that. No one cares really about their featured 'delay'
[Nexus 4 General] Uncle Lizard:
I'd rather my phone not pick up a touch that I didn't want it to than have to deliberately touch something twice. Just my 2¢
[Nexus 4 General] Dark Fear:
hope some dev work on it a fix it..
[Nexus 4 General] IceKreem:
My sister has an iPhone 5 and I had an S2 and personally I haven't noticed any difference between them now that I'm on 4.3.
[Nexus 4 General] Cream$ickleHJ:
Nitpicking a near perfecting device won't get you any closer to "winning"
[Nexus 4 General] kboya:
I hadn't noticed this, and tested your 2-3mm claim on a stock, rooted 4.3 using the stock launcher with a widget on the homescreen... I still don't notice it! While there is a certain 'delay', 2-3mm seems vastly overstated. Having used galaxy s4, HTC one and iPhone 5 I see little discernible difference, and I'd be very surprised if they all do not feature some kind of touch recognition delay.
[Nexus 4 General] pjc123:
+1. I haven't updated yet, but if this resolves the issue of accidentally selecting an item rather than swiping, then I am 100% all for it.

[Nexus 4 General] RainGater:
I loaded CM 10.2 and don't see any issues so far.
[Nexus 4 General] SlasheI2:
It's difficult to notice any delay when you're used to something that has it. For example, my friend's TV has a lot of TV lag when used for gaming. If I hit A for jump in the game, I will have to wait about 100ms for it to show up on the screen. My TV, however, does not have lag as bad as this. Mines is about 30ms so for FPSs it is much more responsive. He doesn't notice this because his screen is already slow but when I play on his TV I notice a substantial amount of lag. When he plays on my TV he doesn't notice that it is very much faster. This is because it is harder to notice that something is slow when you're used to it.

This is a similar to phone responsiveness. My ipod touch 4th gen (which I had before my Galaxy s2 and NEX4) probably has a very slow processor but the software/hardware is optimized so there is no touch lag. Even with my nexus 4's beast quadcore processor, the touch performance is still better on my two year old ipod. I notice this because I have come from a faster device and I can notice the lag. You guys who haven't gotten used to more responsive devices may not notice the difference, but I and many others do. It's not just us being nitpicky, touch response if a very integral part of a TOUCH screen. I find myself having more difficulty typing on my nexus 4 because the sensitivity is just not high enough. I can type at a much faster pace on my ipod touch because the touch sensitivity is a lot better. In this regard, sensitivity makes a substantial difference in the user experience. I have had many mistaps and retaps on my nexus 4 when my taps did not register properly and I had to hit the same button over and over again. Swipes and other things are also slower than on my itouch.

If you play fruit ninja, for example, when you drag your finger on the screen you can see the cutting line trail behind on the nexus 4. On my itouch, however, the cutting line remains right below my finger and I cannot see the tip. This is the 2-3mm the OP is talking about.

just thought I'd share my opinion.
[Nexus 4 General] leiros:
I sure hope it wont! Because I feel the touch responsiveness and accuracy on any 4/4s/5 iphone device is really through the floor.

Dont really feel any difference on the s3 compared to the new nexus 4 though.
[Nexus 4 General] lazer155:
I've noticed this delay too. Is there a kernel that allows you to adjust touch sensitivity for 4.3?
[Nexus 4 General] Dark Fear:
i've no problem with this delay.. my issue is pinch zoom problem.. i have to pinch at least 2 times to zoom enough..

it's software issue.. 'cause Mozzila Firefox doesn't have this problem..
[Nexus 4 General] OnlySkills:
It's not a "problem" or something that can be easily "noticed". The thing is, it's there. I can just feel that the Galaxy Note 2/S3/S4's swiping between home screens is instantaneous with the finger, just as the iPhone's is. The Nexus 4, is right up there, but I can see just that initial delay. It doesn't seem like the touchscreen doesn't recognize your finger, but more of a software "feature" where it won't recognize it on purpose.
[Nexus 4 General] wideasleep1:
Apex Launcher->Settings->Home screen Settings->Minimum Scrolling Time=1, Transition Effect=none.
[Nexus 4 General] GazaIan:
It seems like it's just a scrolling deadzone, but the two OSes treat the deadzone differently. Android takes the deadzone every single time, whereas iOS will only note the deadzone if a finger is placed on the screen and slowly moved. Probably helps prevent jumpiness during scrolling if you're the type who keeps their finger on the screen while scrolling slowly. On iOS, if you come in for a moderate-fast swipe, you won't notice the deadzone at all. On Android, you'll notice it.

Scroll very slowly through your lockscreen widgets, you'll see the delay in the time your finger touches the screen to the time the entire box turns white to signal that you're swiping between pages. I could be entirely wrong, but something like this can easily be fixed with software. For example the Galaxy Tab 10.1 suffered from this on a much worse level; TouchScreenTune helped virtually eliminate deadzones (or increase them, if you like that), helped eliminate scroll lag, and made touching the screen... fun. I'd assume the same could be done for the Nexus 4.
[Nexus 4 General] realtalker:
I prefer the nexus 4 on 4.2.2 touch screen sensitivity. You can click things on the GS4 without actually touching the screen and you can almost do that on 4.3 with the N4. I'd rather have it the way it is on 4.2 so I don't accidentally touch things.
[Nexus 4 General] :
In my opinion the screen sensitivity isnt worse than on any other smartphone and it always depends on which rom your running etc, e.g. my Nexus 4 runs way more smoothley and is more responsive than my brothers s3, which is laggy as hell and often does something diffrent that intented, but thats just my impression. ;)
[Nexus 4 General] Mic43:
I can't believe that nobody has worked it out yet...
[Nexus 4 General] AlexWekell:
The scrolling on a GALAXY? Touchwiz is no where near as fluid as stock!
[Nexus 4 General] anirudh412:
I don't think they are talking about fluidity in a continual scroll, but the initial response to a gesture. But I agree with you, scrolling on my GS3 was nowhere as fluid as on my N4. I guess that's what you get when all you care about is the number of cores in your device rather than optimising what you already have.
[Nexus 4 General] rayiskon:
This touch "deadzone" is what some people call input lag , i don't think it's a feature
[Nexus 4 General] UltimHero:
I don't feel any o touch lag compared to my sister s S3 or my uncle's S4 ! What I don't like however is the delay on pinch to zoom . any solution ?
[Nexus 4 General] DupleX01:
Give a shot of this touch screen driver:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2163924

It has significantly improved the responsiveness of the touch screen and pretty much resolved all the issues that OP and other members of this thread mentioned.
[Nexus 4 General] UltimHero:
OK . thanks ;)
[Nexus 4 General] Sinfamy:
I cannot agree at all, I have an iPod touch 4th gen and that **** blows when it comes to responsiveness, both that and my friends iPhone 4S. The Nexus 4 is in no way perfect, bit its beyond average. And as for your friends laggy TV, tell him to put it in *Game* mode, which turns off post processing and speeds up latency.
