No, tw launcher only works with tw. You can try a third party launcher like go or apex anfd theme it like tw, but it won't be tw.

Both of you are wrong, here is a decent tutorial on how to get it on any device.

well yes you can use a 3rd party launcher that is themed to be like s4 tw but this is the full launcher.

The launcher works fine, but after I flashed this, now my boot takes up to a minute on the galaxy s4 screen to only stay on the Google load screen for 10 seconds. How can I fix that
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] jpopgt:
Hi, i just got my nexus and have flashed a rom onto it but i want to try another rom and dont want to do a full factory reset and scrub and loose all my stuff on my internal storage.

I have used a superwipe script on my previous smart phones, is there something like this available yet? if not how do i go about changing roms without deleting from my internal storage?

Thanks for any help:good:
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Shaquiel Harris:
Well to try a different ROM, your going to have to factory reset, that doesn't mean it wipes the internal memory though. Just put the ROM on the root of the tab, and flash it. Shouldn't wipe anything off the tab besides data and cache, leaving everything else intact. :D
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] jpopgt:
Cool!

I will try that just now:)

Can you just make a backup in twrp or cwm before you flash the new rom

If you put your phone into bootloader does it stay there happily? You could try an RUU, but it's risky at this point if the phone is so unstable.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] GalaxyWide:
Thanks for the quick reply! It does stay in bootloader quite nicely, that's about the only thing it does at this point. Is it safe to flash an RUU being S-off, unlocked and CID 11111111? I was actually planning on trying that next. Also would the proper one be named "RUU_Evita_UL_ATT_US_1.44.502.1_Radio_0.15.3201.09_release_249105"?

Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Yeah you're s-off so you'll be fine. Click the link in my signature, you'll find links to RUU threads in there.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] GalaxyWide:
Great, thanks! I'll report back any results I get...hopefully those results wont be a steaming pile of slag :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Flash the RUU and run it like that for a couple of days to see if the problems persist.

The initial problems could well have been because you were using TWRP 2.5, it's full of bugs. After running stock, and if it's fine, when you're gonna flash custom ROMs again make sure you use TWRP 2.6, it's in perfect working order.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] GalaxyWide:
New problem: When I go to RUU, it gets to the part where it reboots my phone back into bootloader and fails. the phone shuts off and then the charge light comes on, so good so far, then it goes out (like it tries to boot) but then come back on and nothing happens. After a minute or 3 the RUU errors out since it can no longer see the phone. The same thing happens if I try to tell it to reboot bootloader from the bootloader...this is weird.

Also, I cannot relock my phone! All I get is:

fastboot oem lock ->
...
(bootloader) Lock successfully...
(bootloader) TZ_HTC_SVC_DISABLE ret = -2228225 (0xFFDDFFFF)
FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))
finished. total time: 0.955s

Side note, the output from "fastboot getvar version-main" is blank. My phone somehow seems to have every glitch known to man right now!

I can get USB debugging enabled! Well, only because it has always seemed to toggle every other time I hook my phone to the computer...but still, I can get to adb commands now. However, I'm not really sure that got me anywhere at this point
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Put your phone into bootloader/fastboot manually and then run the RUU. Don't worry about relocking.

Sent from my Evita
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] GalaxyWide:
That's what I've tried doing, the RUU decides to reboot it from being in bootloader back to bootloader for some reason, and that's where it gets hung up.

I'm beginning to think there is something seriously wrong with my cache, bc after I get my phone to boot the only really reoccurring stopped process is android.process.acore, which according to Google has something to do with programs and how they access cache?

Thanks for the help thus far!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Try the fastboot command:

fastboot erase cache

Try that a few times, then try RUU again.

Sent from my Evita
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] GalaxyWide:
Will do. So a few minutes ago I got to 10% with the RUU, this time run with the phone booted and in USB debug mode. Got to the HTC logo on a black background, it sent the RUU..then went into "waiting for bootloader" while my phone non-booted, as usual.

While I was doing some research, I left the phone at the bootup animation for like 10 min, and it finally booted with a message about a UUID (might have been UDID, not sure) mismatch. Don't know if any of this means anything, but it's certainly very odd.

Forgot this earlier, but sometimes it will boot for a while and go to a black screen, with the backlight still on.

Thanks again!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] GalaxyWide:
So, I've been trying things, and I have discovered that I am completely unable to make any file system changes whatsoever. Oh sure, I can mount the sd card in TWRP and delete/move things. But after a reboot, it acts like I never touched it, and it's right back to how it was before. Same with flashing a recovery. I've even tried getting it to boot and using adb to shell in and delete files that way, but still no change.

I'm running out of things to try....I almost want to take it in to AT&T and see if I can at least pay them to do something about it...heck, at this point I'd pay for a refurb phone!

Anyone has any ideas, let me know :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Vcek:
to Flash an RUU if the ruu installer is giving you errors:

1)extract rom.zip from ruu.exe; google it, basically you open the ruu installer and search your temporary(Appdata in windows) files for rom.zip

2)fastboot oem rebootRUU

3)fastboot flash zip rom.zip (with atleast 70% battery as it takes a while)

charge the phone from any custom recovery if you cant boot it up to charge it(preferably twrp as it turns screen off to charge quicker)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
That doesn't accomplish the same result as running an RUU at all, it's just like flashing a ROM.

Sent from my Evita
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] GalaxyWide:
Thanks for the reply! I just tried that, and when I run "fastboot oem rebootRUU" it does the same thing as before: shuts off, the charge light comes on, then goes of for 2-3 seconds, then comes back on and the screen is off and it stays that way. However, I then ran "fastboot flash zip rom.zip" and while it said "waiting for device" got it back into fastboot mode. Then this:

< waiting for device >
sending 'zip' (576544 KB)...

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Vcek:
no this must be run from RUU mode, try unlocking your bootloader first(then relocking it)

i am talking about this kind of rom.zip
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Yeah I know that, but that only updates the ROM partition to stock which isn't what we're aiming for. We're trying to do a complete return to stock, all partitions, which that method won't accomplish.

Sent from my Evita
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Vcek:
the ruu installer does nothing more than flashing the rom.zip which contains all the partitions(21 partitions including hboot,sbl's,radio,touch,data,system,boot,recovery).
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Ask around, I think you'll find that method doesn't do the whole job.

Sent from my Evita
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] GalaxyWide:
It seems that the issue here is that my phone cannot get into RUU mode, since it cannot complete a reboot when sent a software command. As I said before, when I execute "fastboot oem rebootRUU", it shuts off but then won't come back on. Same with "fastboot reboot", "fastboot reboot-bootloader", and any adb reboot command. This issue also occurs when rebooting from the actual boot loader menu, as well as recovery. However, in TWRP, if I hit "reboot recovery", it won't come back up. But if I hit "reboot bootloader" (or system, I believe), it will in fact come back up.

Thanks for the replies! If I can only get to RUU mode I think we can fix this :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] GalaxyWide:
My bootloader is currently unlocked, and as I said earlier in the thread I can't get it to successfuly relock. I get:

(bootloader) Lock successfully...
(bootloader) TZ_HTC_SVC_DISABLE ret = -2228225 (0xFFDDFFFF)
FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))
finished. total time: 0.955s

And it still says unlocked afterwards :(

I did find the correct rom though, thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] GalaxyWide:
After thinking about it, it makes sense that this is all caused by the fact that I cannot seem to make any lasting changes to my internal storage, SD card or otherwise (I've tried formatting, resetting, shell commands with adb, everything). But what could make it all suddenly write protect itself? Perhaps the root permissions somehow got altered?

Any ideas are welcome, I'm still pretty new to all this!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] GalaxyWide:
After sending my phone to a JTAG service (ebay ID nto1566), I found out the the EMMC on my phone is fried. I've done a little looking for a repair service for this sort of thing, but haven't come up with much.

Anyone have any recommendations on who might be able to repair my phone and/or best course of action from here? If the repairs are more than ~120 I'll probably just take my chances on ebay with a used phone.

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Your best bet would likely be HTC repair, I don't it'd be less than $120 though.

After hard-resetting my mini and loading ROM 1.11 then not loading the extended rom ( reset prior to installation ) I notice when I dial a number on the phone, it now reads (993) 137-83 instead of 9931 3783

Any ideas as to why? Am I supposed to run a particular cab file?

thanks in advance
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] ampda:
The short answer is YES, its in one of the CAB files but I don't know which one. If I hat to guess I'd go for the "default_103133" CAB.

What i did was test each CAB file to see what it changed but didn't write it down. :roll:
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] adit:

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] MegaBaz:
I have changed this setting and I still have the numbers looking stupid with the brackets.

Might it have something to do with how outlook handles the numbers?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] erwinsie:
yes, thats what i said in prev. post. if i insert new contact FROM XDA, then i wont have bracket. but if i create new contact FROM OUTLOOK, it will make 1st 2 digits inside brackets. i couldnt find any setting in outlook to modify this.. some1 can help? thx
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] latts:
Outlook

Lads,

This is an outlook querk. If you go into a contact and enter a phone number or tap the edit button next to a contact you get a window which has three enterable areas. Country code, NDC (National destination code) or area code and number. Outlook automatically formats the number into

+<country code> (<area code>) <number

You can stop it from doing this but it can be helpful when its formatted like this. I've changed all my numbers to this format.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] skagen:
Re: Outlook - how to remove brackets on numbers?

So how do you stop outlook from doing this?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Artosoft:
This bracket thing is really annoying me too.

Is there any English (Indonesia) or English (Singapore) that don't use bracket? Or should we change to English (Australia)?

Hormat saya,

Arto.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Tekflow:
UK

Try UK regional settings. No brackets
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] erwinsie:
i believe the problem is at the OUTLOOK side, not from the xdamini. like i said, (mine set to english australia) if i enter new contact FROM XDA, then it will be stay without bracket, but iwill have bracket if i create new contact FROM OUTLOOK.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] latts:
I think it will only add brackets once you edit the number. I think Outlook sees spaces in the phone number as telling it what is the international code, area code etc. If you leave the number as +11234567890 I think Outlook ignores it.

I had mine as a mixture but prefer them with the brackets and so edited them.

Its definitely Outlook not the phone

I've recently got myself a samsung galaxy s4. Naturally, the first thing I did was root it and put a custom ROM on it. However, there are a few stock features that I would like back (Read: A FEW), such as the one that tracks your eyes so the screen doesn't rotate when you're lying down.

Is there any way (like a selective app pack, or apks) to get some of the stock features back on my custom ROM? I'm running the latest slimbean.

[General Questions and Answers] johnoo:
this is an old thread but I struggled with it as well - fully charge it, hit those 3 buttons - try at the same time but if not try volume up and home and then on/off button and hold it until it reboots the phone.

In my case, if you keep holding it the phone will not turn on.

If you release on/off switch it will turn on but can happen that you will come to system in "safe mode"

For me works just holding those 3 buttons until it reboots (phone was turned off then you start it with buttons, keep holding and when reboots release them) and recovery should be shown. If doesn't help try to take out sd card - if you plug it back in while in recovery my b5512 can load it - sometimes with error but in general, it can.

I think main conditions are to have it charged do 75%+

and unsure but to me it looks like to have a good stable sd card.

All the best

These kind of threads clutter up the forum and make it difficult for searchers.

What happened to the days on forums when people would actually respond to a post you make rather than trying to prove that you put it in the wrong spot or should have searched. A forum is supposed to be a community, not a search index.

But like i said im just trying to spark up a discussion so i can get past my 10 post limit. If i was able to post on the forum i wanted it would have prevented this post from being made.

And this is a DEVELOPMENT forum, not a social network, there are threads especially put aside (in the General section) for you to pad your post count. What happened to the days of people searching and following forum rules? But honestly, go ahead and ignore the links that I told you about (that you asked information about in the first place) and go ahead and post for no other reason than to add to your post count and clutter the sub forum with threads that already exist, I don't care.

I am not ignoring the threads your talking about (although you didn't link them) i know how to search and found them myself. I posted one thread to build my post count not 10 so relax.
