[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] fastfed:
So I got my phone about a week ago.. I rooted the phone right away because I wanted root options, but honestly, I didn't feel the need to put a rom on it.

With my GS2, I'll be honest, while I noticed many great things with great roms, there was always 1 things that never worked.. Wifi calling,weak gps signal, gps and bluetooth at the same time..

Whatever it was, there was always something..

While the wicked rom looks great, I'm worried about it, so I think I wanna stay stock (unless someone convinces me otherwise :) )

So, my "What do I do comment" is this.

After I rooted I downloaded someones .apk file that apparently removes bloatware to the stock phone.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2383951&page=2

14th post.

I'm not sure what was removed, but the bottom line, some things are not working with my phone now.. For example, whenever I try any of the air gestures like air jump/browse/move and so on, they simply don't work anymore, when I go to click try, I get a settings has stopped error.

While I wasn't too worried before, today I went to make a .gif with the camera, and maybe some of you think its cheesy I like that option and feature.. Well, that also gives me an error after I take the 5 second or whatever time, .gif.

I get an error.

So here I am.. wondering what to do, how would I even be able to go back to stock? is it possible ?? Should I man up and go with the wicked rom?? I just feel once you rom that's it, no matter what you're asking for other issues popping up.. While I appreciate all the hard work done by our modders, are they really more talented then the engineers at Samsung?? maybe they are?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] baseballfanz:
You could flash a custom ROM or you could Odin flash a stock tar file to get you back to stock.

Any of the TW base ROM will give you Wi-Fi calling.

thanks!!

I was hoping someone would push me towards a rom :)

If I went with a rom, lets say I don't like it, could I follow that post ??

and go back to stock as if I never did a thing?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Android_Monsters:
You could. Or you could flash a different rom.

if you mean military time as in 24:00 notation , then I believe it is located in your regional settings (Start/settings/System/Regional settings)

Hi can someone please help me.. So i am trying to network unlock my phone.. I have already obtained the unlock code. But i have no idea how to input the code that i have without a non-tmobile sim... My phone is t-mobile.. Is there any way i can input the unlock code without a non-tmobile sim card??

If someone could please let me kno hw to it would be great. Thanks in advance
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] abrcrmdl23:
I don't think so. When you put in the other SIM card it triggers a prompt for the code. Easiest thing to do is borrow a friend's sim, or you can buy sims on eBay for $.99. Or just keep the code until you have the other SIM card for the other network you plan to use it on. If your not using it on another network the unlocking is kinda pointless.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] guider:
What's your T-mobile model?

There is no other way to unlock without a non-T-mobile SIM as far as i know.You may follow the below instructions:

1. Switch ON your mobile with a Not ACCEPTED SIM Card.

2. If your mobile asks for a PIN code, then enter your SIM card PIN and press OK.

3. T-Mobile Affinity will ask to enter an "unlock code".

4. Your mobile is now unlocked.

I also followed these steps to unlock my mobile. I got the unlock code from TheUnlockArena.com here they provided permanent unlock code.

So I was going through my long lost collection of old Windows games and stumbled upon a copy of the original Call of Duty. For the minimum specs, any android phone could really take it ( min. 350MHz, 64MB of RAM and any GPU. So in your opinion, do you think it would be possible to convert any old games like that to Android?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JaeKay:
no
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] duscdragon:
Why do you think so? What is the problem?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JaeKay:
CPU architecture, windows' x86 vs mobile's ARM.

I mean other gaming systems have emulators, but you wont get a windows emulator, like almost ever.

You can however, do a remote desktop sort of thing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] najaboy:
x86 vs ARM. Plain and simple to start with. Need we delve into the fundamentals of how different the two operating systems are and how code written for one is specific to it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] duscdragon:
Alright, thread solved. But that would still be awesome to play if there was a way devs could maybe remake games like that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hexitnow:
Dont know if you ever play zombies on black ops but someone created a black ops zombies for android. It is surprisingly similar to the original.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] duscdragon:
I know, that's like nothing compared to a full, developed game though
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] waderedsox:
you can play some REALLY old games through dosbox, like redalert or age of empires, but thats essentially done through brute force emulation, you can also play most old point and click adventures like scummvm which is brilliant, and you MIGHT be able to play cod(if there is a psone version)through retroarch or psx4droid, but it probably wont be a great experience, if you want an fps, nova 3 and mc 4, as blatant ripoffs as they are, and s cheaply developed as they are, play pretty well, counter strike portable also works pretty well
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] vexus:
Well, I'm not quite sure what's wrong. First of all I tried to flash a new ROM but forgot to allow for unknown sources and turn on debugging, then whilst that was still just rebooting over and over again I managed to flash a stock ROM using Flashbooter. That worked fine until now when I'm trying to root the device and with using two or three different rooting programs I get the same error message "cannot find path" (or something to that affect).

Android version 4.1.2

Build: 6.2.B.0.200

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] vexus:
Hey thanks for the reply. I tried this but still when trying to root with Flashbooter I get this error:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] skywalkerdroid:
Try with this : PRESS HERE
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] skywalkerdroid:
Ok, let's break up this dance. Download this and flash it through recovery : SuperSU-1.25-Busybox-1.20.2-UPDATE.

This works 100% and it will root your phone and install SuperSU and busybox.

IMPORTANT : Flash it through recovery.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] vexus:
This is driving me insane. I can't install Superuser because the phone won't root. I can't flash to recovery because Superuser isn't installed... this phone is about to go for a flying lesson. :@
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] skywalkerdroid:
Flashing into recovery has nothing to do with superuser. And read my reply. SuperSU-1.25-Busybox-1.20.2-UPDATE : This will install superuser and busybox. Google this : SuperSU-1.25-Busybox-1.20.2-UPDATE, and download it and flash it through recovery.

To enter recovery : Reboot your phone, when the pink led is on and the phone vibrates one time push the volume up button. If you don't have a pink led flash again the kernel and try again.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] vexus:
I can't decide if it's me being an idiot, or it's me being a massive idiot. It won't go in to recovery, but I may have missed a step. What do I need to have installed for recovery? I have ROM Manager but it says it can't reboot to recovery without SU installed?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] skywalkerdroid:
You need a kernel with recovery. That kernel I recommended has that. An application will never reboot your phone into recovery, unless you press the volume up button while tapping the SONY logo, on some phones. So, power off your phone. Power it on, it will vibrate once, now press the volume up button and keep it pressed until you see the the recovery layout.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] vexus:
Well this is getting embaressing. I cannot get the bloody thing to go in to recovery. It either goes into flash or fastboot mode. And unplugged from the laptop it carries on the startup even when I'm keeping the volume up button pressed. I can't think what I'm doing wrong. I've reinstalled the stock official ROM, downloaded SuperSU-1.25-Busybox-1.20.2-UPDATE and still nothing.

Feel free to give up on my idiocy! :p
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] skywalkerdroid:
Unplug your phone. Power it off. Now power it back on. When the led is pink and the phone vibrates one time, push and keep it pressed the volume up button.

P.S. The phone may not vibrate but when you see a pink led, press the volume up button.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] vexus:
I don't get the pink LED when I turn it on, there's no LED lights at all. The phone simply vibrates and carries on booting up.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] skywalkerdroid:
Flash in fastboot the kernel again. After that even if there is no led, but you have a vibration, when that vibration comes press the volume up button.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] vexus:
What program are we using for flashing the kernal? I have Flashtool but it doesn't like .zip files.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] skywalkerdroid:
Flashtool. But the kernel is .elf extension, don't flash it as a zip. Flash in fastboot the .elf file.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] vexus:
I have no .elf files for the SuperSU-1.25-Busybox-1.20.2-UPDATE. In the zip file there aren't any to extract. Even after extracting it, trying to unpack any elf files using flashtool, there's nothing in the files that the program recognises TO flash.

... tell me straight, am I seriously being this retarded?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] skywalkerdroid:
First, the .elf file is not in that zip. You download that kernel from google.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] vexus:
Right so I downloaded Advance Stock Kernel with Recovery v4 (FW: 10.1.1.A.1.253) and tried to flash it but got this error message:

Hello All

I have made these mods for 4.2.2 - Tested on Nos 3. Rom, Please say thank you

Please note all Transparency Mods have the icon fix already - The iconfix.zip is for people who do not want transparency but still want the fix.

Flash in recovery and wipe Cache/Dalvik

Fully Transparent (fully Transparent.Zip)

Dock Bar Transparent (Hotseat Transparent.Zip

Semi Transparent with Stock Dock (Semitransparent.Zip)

1.1

- Fixed Reboot Issue

- Fixed Folder icon Size

- Fixed Missing transparency for Blinkfeed in Full Transparent Zip

1.0

- Initial Release

Questions

Is it necessary to flash iconfix as well as fully transparent? - No iconfix is just for the fix icons and no transparency... All mods have the icon fix built in

What does hotseat transparent ? - Hotseat makes the dockbar transparent......everything else is stock.
[HTC Droid DNA] petrr311:
I dled and the dock is transparent but BlinkFeed and app drawer are not... BlinkFeed is but only for a quick second and when I go to that page
[HTC Droid DNA] xvicedice:
Thankyou I'll see what is going on.

Can you tell me if the apk works? Instead of the zip?

I
[HTC Droid DNA] petrr311:
Do I need to install the prism.apk? I don't really mind the dock as is

Edit: and thanks for the quick reply and the work for this... I wouldn't even know how to start lol

---------- Post added at 11:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 PM ----------

Lol I didn't see you asking to try the apk... Just downloaded and installed and all is good now :) even the dock is still transparent on BlinkFeed

---------- Post added at 11:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:10 PM ----------

Ok, only thing I've noticed now is that when I go into the app drawer the transparentness flickers then goes back to transparent... It's so minor, but just thought you should know
[HTC Droid DNA] kxs783kms:
The apk is working like a champ for me. Thanks!! Petrr311, to me it looks like those are the icons fading in and out. I don'tthink it's a flicker.
[HTC Droid DNA] xvicedice:
I understand regarding transition I think I have a fix for that it also sees I fixed the reset on reset :) will post later today
[HTC Droid DNA] Tristan971:
Heya! Possible to have a version with non-transparent dock and semi-transparent drawer please? :)

[HTC Droid DNA] matteebee:
Thanks for this. Couple questions... is it necessary to flash iconfix as well as fully transparent?

Nope iconfix is just for the fix and no transparency... All mods have the icon fix built in

Hitdeat changes the dockbar transparent only everything else is syock
[HTC Droid DNA] ickedmel:
Awesome mod thank you works great.

Edit: oh yeah I do see the flicker all good though.

Just curious... In the op title it says "pulldown"... Do you mean notification pull down? Cause I can't find that dl link
[HTC Droid DNA] xvicedice:
Yes coming up later today.. plus the removal of blinkfeed
[HTC Droid DNA] rayjr13:
could you possibly mod the latest prisma.apk for NOS v3.0.2 for those using the "fix" layout with 4 rows? I personally like the 5 rows but Newt integrated extended settings menu into the update zip for his homescreen icon fix.
[HTC Droid DNA] xvicedice:
Can you take a screenshot for me please
[HTC Droid DNA] rayjr13:
I don't have the 4 row prism installed to screenshot.

I have the original 5 row.

I couldn't tell from your screenshots posted if this is for the 5 row homescreen or his new 4 row.

His 4 row is called homescreen icon fix

where your icon fix is for the dock icons correct?
[HTC Droid DNA] xvicedice:
Yes all the apps include the iconfix. I am certain they will work fine. I would suggest backing up and flashing the mod you like... The nos Rom home fix is pretty much the same as my fix anyway
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] im.saradi:
Hy all, I just want to know is there anyway I can uninstall applications in my tab that come default while buying it. Because there are many trash application's which I don't use such as Internet, my files, drop box, play video, etc.. These came by default in my tab when I bought it and I don't need them so that I can free up some memory for other apps and I don't know why there more than one pre installed app in samsung tab such as chrome and internet, music player and play music and also chat on app. If there is any way to uninstall these apps it would be greatly helpful, thank you!!!

The only way to remove them would be to root your tablet. Otherwise you can not remove them.

Once rooted you could use Titanium Backup to remove certain programs or using a root explorer delete apks manually.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saison:
Cheers all, I posted this in the big question thread, but it's just getting buried, so I though it's own thread might bring out a response. Anyway, here's the problem:

Unlocked phone no problemo. But rooting is not going so good. Had to fight to get the latest TWRP loaded (openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-mako). Needed to use this string.

fastboot -c "lge.kcal=0|0|0|x" boot openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-mako.img

Which worked fine and got me into the menu where I flashed the superuser.zip file. That proceeded ok (although the first attempt, when I clicked the box to verify the signature, it failed), and I rebooted. Yet this phone is still not rooted - apps requiring root fail, such as Titanium. But superuser is flashed onto the phone, it's in the app list.

Any ideas? I'll take anything at this point. I don't even care if it's about cellphones. Just tell me something, lol.

I'm not ENTIRELY sure, but from what I've heard 4.3 causes a lot of problems with root and only one superuser app even works. I'm not sure which one, but it's possible you're using a superuser apk that doesn't work on 4.3.

Managed to get it with SuperSU 1.51 as mentioned above. Although I had to do it twice, lol. After flashing and rebooting, I started Titanium, and SU asked if i should grant permission.

This time, I granted permission for Titanium, and all's well. For now. I guess.:silly::D
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nigeldg:
Yeah for some reason Superuser and 4.3 don't mix very well. SuperSU works fine though, I had to flash it too to get PA 3.92 to work properly. I was really worried that I'd lost all my data since Titanium wasn't working and my CWM backup had failed but ultimately it all worked out.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightlink7:
I got a nexus 7 2012 wifi 32gb today, updated to 4.3, and I have had nothing but problems trying to root the thing. I have been unable to unlock the bootloader, currently whenever I'm in bootloader mode windows 7 64 bit just shows it as an "unkown device" when I look at the properties it says "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)" I have tried "update drivers" and had it look at C:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\WUGFRESH DEVELOPMENT\DATA\DRIVERS but it just says the drivers are up to date for my unkown device. There was actually a point where in bootloader mode windows had device manager say bootloader something instead of unkown device however it says drivers were not installed and I think the error code was 10 or something, basically it was still useless and would not recognise my device and install drivers. I have tried on my laptop which has windows 8 64 bit but it is far worse there, the computer keeps giving malfunction usb message or something over and over again as if the device is constantly connecting and disconnecting. Despite this however MTP works fine and I have transferred a music album over as a test and it was fine and the device charges fine too. Would really appreciate help as I'm desperate at this point.

Uninstall whatever out of date drivers that came with the toolkit then install the latest Android Composite ADB Interface Driver 8.0.0.0.

You also need to install this in order to use ADB while in recovery.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightlink7:
No dice, still unable to install the drivers for the bootloader interface, I go to device manager and right click the android bootloader interface thing and click update driver software navigate it to the universal naked driver folder however it always just says the drivers for your device are up to date, which is bull**** because the drivers have not installed. I have tried right clicking then clicking uninstall then unplugging and replugging but it will now just give a message saying the device is not recognised and it shows up as an unknown device in device manager, 90% of the time it just shows up as an unknown device and it is impossible to install drivers for it, it just always says the drivers are up to date and uninstalling them and trying again will just yield the same results. I have the other drivers installed completely fine, it's the bootloader drivers which are impossible for me.

Short of going back in and deleting (not just uninstalling) every USB driver, might be easier to borrow another computer?
