Warning: Buggy Software.

Tried this app on my Galaxy S4. Runs on Samsung Touchwiz Stock ROM, no modifications/root/cwm

The app just went crazy the moment i opened it. It starts the service, opens its menu, then says something went wrong, closes itself, then tries to open again. The cycle just repeats again and again, opening and closing for no reason. It nearly rendered my phone unusable. (I barely managed to get to the task manager and uninstall the app)

Here's a tip to the developer, and i hope you read it:

1) For applications, when installed, if possible, you should not make it restart itself on force close. If the application finds something is wrong, make it close itself, and not restart automatically. Then it won't have a 'cycle' of open and force closing. Maybe its the 'keep in memory option' causing this. If so, don't make the application keep in memory upon install. Let the user decide, or You can prompt the user to select keep in memory after say, 2 hours of usage.

2) Also, don't make the application run automatically on boot unless selected by the user. This is to ensure that if the app is buggy and caused the phone to reboot, the application will not start again. Because if it does, the phone would restart again and again, and you won't have the chance to uninstall it! Then we have a 'bricked' phone. Especially if you did not install via the play store. Same solution: Let the user decide, or You can prompt the user to allow application to start on boot after say, 2 hours of usage.

Trust me on this one, i experienced this on a Galaxy Ace a long time ago when i installed AVG antivirus and i had to factory reset it manually because i couldn't get the chance to uninstall it. It just kept force closing and restarting both the app and the phone like mad, forcing me to go to recovery and factory reset. I lost all my apps and personal data then and i was really mad.

I understand this is a beta app, but its best to have precautionary measures in place :)

Works fine on my P6800 tablet, not sure why the app goes crazy on a S4.

Hey in think the problem is it does not play nice with modified notification bars via xposed. I stop using xposed and have no problems.
[Android Apps and Games] zumit:
Great idea and implementation but has few rough edges.

Great idea and implementation but has few rough edges.

The main app background colour is a bit flashy...Holo'esque would have been better.

All the icons have rough edges..they dont look good at all...need smoother, cleaner icons

The vertical scrolling of Apps is not at all smooth no matter how many times I try. Does not look good on JB 4.3 that has improved scrolling.

Would like to have these issues addressed.
[Android Apps and Games] cruiser33:
doesn't hurt to say please!
[Android Apps and Games] beckzz:
hey,

just tested your app - and i like it, even though its still beta :)

Im running it on latest CM 10.1 nightly. First it behaved very weird, but that was cause i activated cm privacy guard (maybe this was the issue arn.yong had?)

so far no big issues, except the already mentioned.

i could help you translating your app to german, if you like to - pm me.

[Android Apps and Games] danorthstar:
Hi,

Great app, has replaced the need for notification bar and quick toggles! Only a couple of issues, as mentioned before icons are low res and scrolling of apps/contacts could be smoother on 4.3. Also some widgets are not working properly, i.e. power toggles work but buttons etc do not change colour when pressed. If you could fix that it would be amazing!

A feature request which I think would really improve the functionality is to auto hide the sidebar when you click on a widget such as google now. Again though, really impressed with this app and understand it's still in beta, love the option for hollow white too!
[Android Apps and Games] sprogurt:
Really impressed! Haven't had any issues whatsoever (Nexus 4 latest SM 4.2.2).

Keep up the good work! Definitely looking forward to seeing this in the play store :D.
[Android Apps and Games] rmonjay:
Wow, I really love this app. I have used most of the sidebar apps and this beats all the others. My only suggestions are 1) make the torch a true toggle, so I can turn it off from the tab as well. I have been using this from the lockscreen and love having all that functionality without any unlock risk. And 2) please make the icon with name sizeable.

And put this in the app store so I can buy it.
[Android Apps and Games] Giocarro:
+1 for auto-hide sidebar on widget tap

+1 for making the torch a true toggle

...and THANKS A LOT for this interesting application.
[Android Apps and Games] User_99:
Nice app. Thx for the beta. So far so good.

I can do the German translation ...
[Android Apps and Games] Giocarro:
How does Sidebar Plus replace notifications? Do you mean by DashClock extentions or something else?

About translation, I can help for italian.
[Android Apps and Games] Sergiovery:
Setup

I do have the same problem. I Click the Download and I get a zip file that contains the pack of the elements for the installation but the APK file.

how can I get the (right) APK file?

Thanks

PS I'm so courius with this app...but no way to see it :(
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YayYouFixedIt:
Eventually after searching. Seems unplugging it to let the goo out a bit solved it. Who knew.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lethe6:
I searched this a while back, and the best answer I think comes from Apple, even though this is a tablet the technology is pretty much the same with "smart" batteries. Basically once you go under 97-95% it adds 1 to your charge count. It adds another one below 40% if I remember correctly, since that's a "full" charge. Not sure how Asus and the like handle battery count for warranty, but Apple can be anal about it, hence why they monitor it.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lparcshinoda:
Since the stock rom doesn't have enough credit on this forum I'm submitting something I just did for myself in case anyone may find this useful - plus I'm adding some small customizations to get the stock better and more complete (starting with AOSP Browser and Flash Player support).

# WARNING #

flash at your own risk and get yourself ready with a backup or at least another working flashable rom into the device. I'm not responsible about you not paying attention to this rule.

ODEXED stock ROM KOT49H

download - MD5 92FCFE8E1E165E25F192D52CFF896B54

DEODEXED stock ROM KOT49H

download not available at the moment because I want to make a full deodexed version, including the /priv-app folder and an API level 19 deodexer is needed - COMING SOON

4.23 bootloader is mandatory for this to work (also I suggest to make a FULL WIPE if you come from anything different from stock) - MD5 C40832B03800D929CBD45974F41EFB1E.

Both versions have been zipaligned, rooted with SuperSU (you need to flash latest version to make it properly work on 4.4.x, get the package here http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu) and include busybox and init.d support.

Stock 3.1.10-g4776c68 KERNEL, CWM flashable

download in case you want to revert back on the stock kernel after messing up around - MD5 BA31CF10D99053A895740F5F98CF8404

Missing system apps, CWM flashable

download to remove /system/app/BrowserProviderProxy.apk-odex and get back News and Meteo, Browser and Chrome Bookmarks Sync (for this 4.3 version is included because google is not providing an updated version anymore). These are deodexed apps (works on an ODEXED rom, don't worry) - to get the .odex files you can then flash this one (this is device specific).

NOTE that these apps are kind of deprecated (and probably Gallery and Launcher will also be added soon to the list) and are no longer being updated by Google in the factory releases. I'll do all I can to keep the versions updated.

Adobe Flash Player

Flash player is NO LONGER SUPPORTED in Android 4.4 Kitkat (not officially using Adobe app, you probably need a Browser with flash included).

# DISCLAIMER #

All archives and apps are tested by myself on my grouper (Nexus 7 Wi-Fi only) - remember to clean Cache / Dalvik Cache from recovery AFTER applying any of the zips (especially for the ROM - Full Wipe needed if coming from a non-stock ROM, obviously) - and please check MD5 (where stated) before flashing... you are warned.

Have fun (have KitKat)!

I'll try to keep the thread and OP updated as I can.

# EXTERNAL MODS #

I do not take credit for these, it's just a collection of mods "clean and close to stock" that I use on my device and you may wanna try - everything here is tested anyway (pay attention and check if this mods are suitable for my current release)

Bluetooth Low Energy support libs

Bootloader 4.23 needed for 4.4.x

LeanKernel (clean and stable kernel close to stock and updated to latest Linux kernel)

Stock Recovery

Should I flash only ONE of these: JWR66Y_missingSystemApps.zip / JWR66Y_missingSystemApps_ODEX.zip OR BOTH ?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lparcshinoda:
this is an ODEXED rom, so if you want back "AOSP BROWSER, BOOKMARK SYNC and GENIE WIDGET" you should flash JWR66Y_missingSystemApps_ODEX.zip
[Nexus 7 Android Development] NicholasQ:
This is EXACTLY what I need. Thank you so much op. This aging tablet has been slowing down on me, so I need to do a full complete data wipe and reflash stock. I want this thing to have a little more pep in its step.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lparcshinoda:
:good: pep in its step? Explain yourself :) anyway, this isn't intended as a GUIDE to flash stock. It's just a collection of useful flashable zip to set up an odexed stock rom with some fancy in it.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] NicholasQ:
My nexus was getting slow. It's pretty common. And I wasn't implying it was a guide. I was thanking you for providing all the zips.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] toyface:
Thanks very much for this, this is exactly what I was looking for, and it works great! Really good job on making it easy to upgrade to a stock ROM with little hassle!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lparcshinoda:

I'm currently running TWRP 2.6.3.0: do I have to update to the latest version (2.6.3.1)?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lparcshinoda:
I personally use CWMR, so I don't know. Check the changelog for 2.6.3.1 to see if any crucial 4.4 fix is included
[Nexus 7 Android Development] pughie:
Strangley i can't seem to get this rom to boot, it has been on the boot animation for about 8 minutes so far.I'm using the latest boot loader and the latest cwm touch if that helps

Edit: Gave up waiting for it to boot after about 15 minutes without any luck. Sorry I can't give anymore info than that.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lparcshinoda:
Have you wiped cache and Dalvik? Mine booted like a charm (dirty flashed on stock odexed 4.3)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] pughie:
Yes I did. Never mind I appreciate your efforts and help :)

1 hour and i'm stuck in the bootloop.

dunno where you test it.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lparcshinoda:
I do testing on my grouper device (wi-fi only), with latest bootloader (linked in the OP) latest CWM recovery and dirty flashing the rom on a previous 4.3 stock odexed rom.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Fuctifino:
I'm just wondering if you guys are flashing this over a stock or custom ROM?

I updated the bootloader to 4.23, did the usual wipes and tried installing the KRT16O.zip from another thread but it fails to instal.

A friend said there is a post on XDA about requiring stock ROM to upgrade to 4.4 but I've not seen it?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lparcshinoda:
No, this rom requires bootloader 4.23 (the latest, anyway). And I guess that flasing this OVER a rom different from stock ones would cause bootloops (if done without wiping data, obviously).
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Fuctifino:
I didn't get as far as a bootloop as the zip didn't install correctly, I also believe that factory reset wipes data?

I'll install stock 4.3.1 and then try again.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lparcshinoda:
Which error code are you getting on CWM recovery? I'm trying to figure out a problem on updater script.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lparcshinoda:
OK: problems that I got before are solved, I'm preparing and uploading a new package (the final version of this release, hopefully).

UPDATE ok, OP updated with the real sh*t! :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] brncocorey:
After following every step, I'm still getting bootloops..
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Johnson90512:
Just out of curiousity, I know that it wasn't stated in the OP so I thought I would ask. Is ART working with this?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] draggehn:
Download is slow for me. Maybe a mirror via goo.im or mediafire or something? (Edit 2: I now know that the file is ~340mb, I guess its not just my device :p)

I have no problem waiting, it's just that files that download too slow (for whatever reason) seem to always fail. (Edit: they fail on my device, that is)

Thanks!

[Nexus 7 Android Development] Johnson90512:
So, maybe someone can help me. I followed all the instructions for this, and now it won't boot. It sits and hangs on the animation screen like many others I have seen on here. If I try and go to recovery from fastboot, it goes to the screen that says google with the unlocked lock at the bottom, and just sits there. After getting to fast boot I realized that after trying to use the flashable zip to install fastboot that I am still on 3.34 Normally this would not be an issue as I would just go it to adb and use fastboot commands to get this to work. But for some reason I can not for the life of me get the USB fastboot drivers to install on my computer. Any ideas?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] sudman:
Google screen bootloop also, after performing factory reset, coming from AOKP 4.3 nightly. :(
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lparcshinoda:
I'm sorry for all these problems :eek: rom has been cooked exactly as the 4.3 one and I must say it's flashing REALLY fine on my device. Could someone with CWM try and report? Maybe it's a recovery problem. Also you could be so kind to post some dmesg / logcat to let me better understand what the problem is... I cannot test this on ANY possible environment and I guarantee that on mine it's working really great (that was the very first intention of doing this rom: for myself).

1- No, ART is not supported because Google decided to remove this feature from the nakasi version of 4.4 rom;

2- Yes, I changed the link (well, in fact I changed the file and the link is the same)

3- Download can't be slower than mediafire or any other hosting site because is placed directly on a REAL ftp server
[Nexus 7 Android Development] carlosgardel:
Can someone apart from you report if this new build works for them?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lparcshinoda:
I need more info: which rom, recovery and wipe you used to flash and I need a dmesg during the boot process if it causes any bootloop. Without this I cannot be of any help.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lparcshinoda:
Thread updated with new releases with the BRAND NEW KRT16S build from google and a new updater script to flash that should work just fine. I double checked on my device and a friend's device. Please be so kind to test and report (and have a backup available, JUST IN CASE).

Thanks again (

[Nexus 7 Android Development] carlosgardel:

[Nexus 7 Android Development] lparcshinoda:
I don't use Flash so much - I've tested (and googled) about this and I have to say that you're right: no flash player support on 4.4 :( I'll modify the first post. Thanks for the info

I tried flashing the BLE4grouper zip file on my Nexus 7 2012 Wifi running 4.4 Kitkat but now I get continuous pop us saying "Bluetooth share has stopped".

I had flashed this zip on same tablet running 4.3 and BLE had started functioning perfectly (tested with TI SensorTag and TI's app along with BLE Explorer and some other apps)

Any advise on what I can try to fix this bluetooth error popup ?

It doesn't let me use the tablet at all since it keeps reappearing very quickly when I press Ok or Report, so I will have to reflash if I can't fix this

[MENTION=4000471]lparcshinoda[/MENTION], I hate asking people to do things that I can do myself, so I went ahead and deodexed the SystemUI and Launcher2 files (I mod them the most). I hope you don't mind me posting them up here (I'll remove them if you do).

Download Deodexed SystemUI.apk and Launcher2.apk

Note to anyone who uses these: Be sure to delete the corresponding odex file from the /system/priv-app folder when you push these to your phone. Probably a good idea to fix the permissions also. By the way, TWRP doesn't fix the permissions of the /system/priv-app folder, only /system/app. You'll have to chmod 644 them.
