S-Planner widget

I flashed to RSL19 and I don't see the 4x4 S-Planner widget. I also didn't see it in RSL18. Is it gone or did I not choose the correct app to install? I do have the S-Planner calendar app but not the widget.

Dialing Pause With Comma

I have been a reader for a long time and hate to post (thus I am relegated here)... I installed Hyperdrive RLS19 and it has been working amazingly well. One thing I just noticed is that the dialer does not respect commas and semi-colons from the Contact List phone number for pause and wait respectively. I have searched and haven't seen this reported by anyone else. Am I missing something?

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pizza_pablo:
I was aprehensive that I could pull off the upgrade from MK2 to NC5, followed by the jump from RLS15 to RLS 19, but with all the help, here and a YouTube vid, I got it done.

I am very pleased with the result. Many apps were having small issues on RLS15 and the upgrade seems to have cured them.

Thanks to all, that have contributed to this ROM and help pages!

I only have a couple irritants, that I can't seem to figure a setting fix for.

I don't recall an option, during install, that allows phone call recording, but I'm certain that if I saw it, I would have checked that box.

I have not found a setting in HD settings and I do not have the option on the dialer page.

The GPS icon, in the status bar is a round icon, until GPS lock and then it turns into the "download complete" icon.

How can this be changed to the GPS icon?

ETA: I see that the RECORD function is only available for incoming calls. I was looking for it on outgoing.

So, what is the small "file" icon with arrow, that appears in the contact picture window?

Each time I select it on eithe rincoming or outgoing calls, it forse closes the dialer and gives the error "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped."

Problems with Samsung Hub

Hello,

I am looking for a way out of a mess I find myself in thanks to trying to rid my phone of bloatware using Titanium Backup. I now get repeated "Unfortunately Samsung Hub as has stopped working" notifications that are nearly impossible to do away with and make using my phone a nightmare. I've done everything up to flashing new firmware or a new ROM. Right now I'm looking into flashing the Hyperdrive Mod to solve the problem (and to try out an exciting new ROM). Here are my two main questions:

1. Will my problems with Samsung Hub extend over to the Hyperdrive ROM being as it too uses Touchwiz and includes Samsung apps?

2. Is it safe to use ROM Manager to install Hyperdrive?

Thanks for any and all your help!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] liljoe727:
1. You should be fine. I've never got a message while on Hyperdrive telling me Samsung Hub has stopped working.

2. No. Being on NC5, the only option you have for flashing ROMs is Safestrap. Anything else will probably soft brick your phone.

Thanks

Thanks liljoe for your help! I've already got ROM Manager installed along with Clockwork Mod Recovery. Will a simple uninstall of ROM Manager be sufficient to set the stage for Safestrap?

Thanks again!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] biikman:
Only time I encounter overheating is when I am wiping/flashing Roms or doing backup/restores. For general usage I haven't noticed any.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] liljoe727:
You can't use clockworkmod either. Just so you know. Here is the thread on Safestrap http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2905885. I would read through it all, it's not that long, as all the information you need should be there. Just be sure when you flash ROMs they are Touchwiz and safestrap compatible. If you flash CyanogenMod, for example, or any pure AOSP/AOKP ROMs then you will soft brick (at least) your device. Hyperdrive is solid and very stable.

I had a complete disaster and lost everything. I have mounted the sd as usb storage and put a rom onto it but neither TWRP or CWm will see them .

Sideload fails in TWRP and every time I try to push i get an error telling me that /data/media/ is a directory ..please anyone got any ideas ? I cant RUU as im on H3g and there isnt a JB one released
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Mount the sdcard, copy the rom.zip to the root of the sdcard. Reboot the recovery and install the rom.
[HTC One X] huxleypig:
Thanks but as I said in the post I had done that but TWRP and CWM would not see the ROM's. .

It turned out to be the file system on the sd card. I formatted it to fat32 and the recoveries then saw the ROM's .
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Ah check. Well i had a similar issue a while back. Copied the rom and tried to install, also not visible. Rebooted the recovery once and that probably rescanned the sdcard

But good that its solved :thumbup:

Sp, here I am. I updated to MG5 and my modem got modified. No other modem works and I know it why. The question is, Can I restore my efs if I use a backup of my friend's efs? Will that cause any damage to my phone?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IRJet:
From what I learned about efs from another topic pertaining to lg optimus g ( I'm sure its the same for all devices ). The efs stores your imei number and such. But other users may correct me if I'm wrong. So using your friends efs wouldn't help at all. I'm a noob to all of this still.

Edit: gotta love autocorrect.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 7wajahat7:
efs does store our imei details. Pre MG4 modems had a different efs format. The format was kinda updated by samsung on MG4 and MG5 roms. I have no signals on any 4.2.2 roms either. However, an older backup may restore the previous format, no matter if the backup was made on someone else's device. Right?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IRJet:
I honestly couldn't tell you bub. I don't want to say go ahead and do it and then something else messes up.. I would wait for a reply from a much more knowledgeable person. Sorry that I couldn't help. :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kangerX:
Your friends efs back up has your friends' imei , which if you use would be modifying your imei , which is kinda unnesessary. If you have your own efs back up just restore it.

Hey all,

Was bored and needed to update my phone with a new rom so I did some scouting about and found Beanstalk. Now this rom is awesome but previously I was on CleanRom which is also an awesome rom.

When changing from Clean to Bean I used TWRP and wiped Cache, Dalvik and Factory reset. I never wiped system (I know I should have).

Now after doing so, I lost all data files (images, videos, music, etc). I would like to retrieve those. Upon looking through the root directory, I could not find them.

So, any ideas? I'm stumped but I am not giving up. Storage details says I have 10gb, available 2.5gb+. Now where did the 7gb+ go? Also my 6gb for my system as it is a 16gb N7105.

If more info is needed just ask. List all you need to know. I am gunna do some other things that does not involve wiping the device.

A factory reset will wipe all data on internal memory.

Factory reset doesn't wipes internal memory.

Maybe twrp setting was set to /media(not sure which folder it is) directory for internal memory so it wiped the internal memory too

There's plenty of apps on playstore that can do a full search for internal memory and show the largest files. I think a good one would be Memory Maid.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SwannyBhoy:
Hello all

Thanks for the feedback.

So what I have done is flashed a new kernel and recovery which is called Devil. I got this for the dual boot feature and within flashing a rom as I noticed a folder called legacy. This folder contains my previous content. All music folders etc.

So I rebooted went onto a few root explorers and could not find it!

I've enabled root and show hidden files and folders. Went to the root of the phone and checked each folder and all folders within and still cant find it.

Recovery shows: /sdcard/0/legacy - Old

Root explorer: /sdcard - New

Root also has another folder storage, with 4 folders; emulated, sdcard0, sdcard1, usbdisk0.

Emulated has 2 folders; 0 and legacy. Both display the new files.

Sdcard0 shows new files.

Sdcard1 shows microSD(Need more disk space for roms)

Usbdisk0 has no files.

This is a mind game. I think the rom created a new system within the old system files and it can't access out but the recovery can.

I have tried mounting the phone to the Pc via recovery but it won't pick up.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SwannyBhoy:
Hello all,

Thanks again for the support!

I resolved the issue. The issue was, AOKP based roms create a new file system for the System. It created it within /sdcard/0/legacy.

When I flashed a Sammy based rom and checked the file manager I was able to see all.

So for all who are coming from Sammy to AOKP, please be careful and back up all SDCard contents, regardless if advised it will not affect Internal storage. This is the first time this has happened since G1 days.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EagleOne984:
I think so becuase I've recently installed the CM on my device, did a factory reset with the CWM recovery but both the internal and external memory (SD) wheren't touched at all, all the files and folders remains where they was.

So it's normal, right?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SwannyBhoy:
Yes mate.. when doing the 3 wipes it doesn't touch internal storage. Its only when you wipe either internal storage or /sdcard.

I had to format my sdcard and wipe all data after I transfered it to the PC. This fixed the file system issue but changing from aokp to sammy will do it again and again. Bit annoying. But hey, its always good doing a clean up.

All i had on my phone were a load of pics and vids by camera and 3 albums. All of this would take no more than 2gb.

Camera was 600mb. So where did 5gb go to? So there is a lot of crap from rom changing, ALOT.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CZ Eddie:
So I got my girlfriend a used Captivate.

I then went to AT&T and got a new AT&T SIM card for it.

Then got AT&T to give me the "unlock code" for the phone.

Gave the phone to the GF and she took it to Straight Talk to get a new monthly pre-paid phone card. She had an old Eclair Android phone that she was getting rid of (CDMA) and wants to use the new Captivate I got her.

But Straight talk wants $60 for the monthly card (no problem) and then they want ANOTHER $60 for a SIM card to put on the phone.

WTF.

Are they scamming her?

When I go online, they have SIM's for $15.

And they should not even be charging anything for a SIM if they want our business.

Does she need to bite the bullet and pay $60 for a SIM?

Or should we look into alternative pre-paid plans (Austin, TX)?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Android Attorney:
Here's the thing Straight talk At&t Sims are rare. Back in march they quit selling them because they finished with using At&t towers. If you had an AT&T sim with straight talk before March, then it still works but if your a new customer after that then you have to use T-mobiles towers (which suck by the way). They probably saw that it was an At&t phone and didn't think it was unlocked and sold her the At&t only sim card. Tell your girlfriend to tell them that its unlocked and that she wants a T-Mobile sim
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CZ Eddie:
So the T-Mobile SIM card is free and will work in this AT&T phone?

Maybe I'll just stop at a T-Mobile store and ask them for a SIM card.

She has not purchased anything yet. She walked out of the store in disgust without making any purchases.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Android Attorney:
I recommend you just go to T-Mobile and use their prepaid service directly. I don't know if they charge for the Sim card but if they do its less than $10. Please let me know that if they do charge for the SIM card. I'm going to switch to them soon. Make sure she says that the phone is unlocked.

I spoke with T-Mobile last week. They will not let you use their pre-paid service unless you buy one of their phones.

ugh
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Android Attorney:
I didn't know what. I guess just go to T-Mobile and ask to buy a prepaid Sim and lie and say you have a T-Mobile phone. Say its a Samsung Galaxy S.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gewone:
Hi guys!

I'm bumping an ancient thread here, hope that's okay with you.

I have this old S4+ lying around. I love it's Gallery app due to the built-in possibility to losslessly trim MPEG-4 AVC (H.264) videos by cutting to nearest keyframe, and also lossless rotation by changing the rotation metadata flag of the MP4 file in question. This simple feature is not implemented in "modern" Gallery apps, or well at least not in the OnePlus 5T I'm using today. So, I was thinking I could extract the .APK from my S4+ (running Android 5.x) and put it in my OP5T (running Android 8.x) without too much headache. Guess if I was wrong.

I get the error about that app was not installed. After browsing around on e.g. ApkMirror, I ultimately found a Samsung Galaxy derived Gallery .APK that I could install, it was a very early version (v1.x.something) which has the cutting feature, but not the rotation (flag changing) feature. So, this ancient Gallery3D .apk installed well, but not the one on my own Galaxy S4+.

So, what could be my issue? Is the .APK flagged to be installed as a system app, and due to my OP5T not being rooted I don't have access too /system/app/, therefor the error? Could it be that simple? If so, is it possible the modify the .APK to install as in /data/app/ instead? Of course I'd resign the APK with some dummy/androiddebug signature afterwards to make installation possible.

Could it be some silly (not really needed) demand listed in the AndroidManifest.xml of the APK in question? If so, is it possible to replace the AndroidManifest.xml with a very "basic" one listing more or less no demands, and re-wrap everything with new signature?

I'm really investigating all my options __except__ for having to root my OnePlus! :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gewone:
I figured that I could get a more specific error message from ADB than by just trying to install the .APK through the phone interface.

So, here goes..

C:\>adb.exe install F:\Galleri_com.sec.android.gallery3d.apk

What does this tell me?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
The Galaxy S4 and most Samsung devices has a second framework app, twframework-res.apk, that only works with their apps. Here's the fun part: the existing Android framework-res.apk is modified by Samsung so both framework apps are required by a given Samsung app to function. Even better is that you cannot simply port the app and twframework-res.apk to a totally different device and expect it to function. You'd have to port the framework-res.apk as well, and with that apk being a system file, you'd soft brick your device after copying it and rebooting.

The tl;dr here? What you're attempting won't work due to Samsung modifications to Android.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] davelikestacos:
Well, like the title suggests, I was experimenting with Android 4.3 a bit today, so I've been flashing a few ROMs and then formatting. Anyways, I was done seeing what I wanted to see with 4.3 so I decided to go back to Dandroid, a TW 4.1.2 ROM. I realized I didn't have the DKP kernel on my phone, but I heard that you can use the TWRP mount feature to put files on your phone while you're in recovery mode.

I attempted to do that, but the phone/drive didn't show up so I clicked Unmount only to have TWRP crash and now whenever I try to boot back into custom recovery, the flash screen loads and then it crashes. I tried to reinstall TWRP through Odin but it still does the same thing. Tried removing my SD card to see if that would be the issue, same thing.

I currently have no ROM installed, but I have a Nandroid of MIUI on my SD card. I can also get into Odin just fine. I am downloading the Stock Sprint ROM and will flash that I guess.

Basically, anyone have a suggestion as how I can get my phone running again? I'm currently downloading the stock zip file to flash through Odin and have about 30 minutes left so I figured I'd ask if there was another way to maybe access my Nandroid of MIUI or something. I cannot access my phone though so I cannot enable USB debugging for the Toolkit :\

EDIT: Flashed MD4 Stock Sprint ROM and all is well. Re-flashed TWRP 2.6.0.1 and I can get back into it just fine. Kinda sucked but at least my phone is working lol
