[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riccardoroma:
Hello Guys,

Let's start with the story :

Old Bootloader, Stock Kernel , PhilZ CMW and Rom XXUDMBA with Chainfire Root.

Then i've installed through CMW the Know Free XXMI1, with Adam Kernel and Modem XXMI1 and still CMW Philz.

Suddenly my phone started to get crazy. Not able to receive calls, pohone freeze , screen blinking etc... Tried with factory and wipe but stucked on S4 logo (not even the samsung one)

Installed, through Odin, the MH8 pre-rooted, Modem MH8, Stock Kernel.

Now i've the new Bootloader, Knox Status stil 0x0, New Modem and New Rom. Everything is working but i've a question.

If i would like to have back the Philz Custom Recovery, flashing with odin, the Knox status will reach 0x1 ?

And why now my device says that my status is modified. I have stock kernel, recovery, rom (just knox free).

and if i would like to update the Rom with a stock one, with knox and all the other s***t, do i need to go necessary through Odin ? because OTA are compromised.

Last question is : Is the wifi-fix mandatory ? i don't know how to know if my wifi has problem. So far seems to work perfectly.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
Modified because its pre-rooted...

Flashing anything through ODIN will change the void warranty from 0x0 to 0x1 unless its a stock rom (from MH8 up otherwise you will soft brick)....

You might be able to get rid of the modified status if you flash a totally stock rom but who wants to do that?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riccardoroma:
So the next question is :

If i would like to flash a new pre-rooted or custom rom i'll void my knox anyway. Because now i have stock recovery and this mean that i can flash only through Kies to a stock Rom right ?

Flashing a custom recovery with Odin (Knox 0x1)

Flashing a stock pre-rooted rom with Odin (Knox 0x1)

Flashing a stock rom newer then mine with kies or Odin (Knox 0x0)

am i right ? so i'm stucked on this ROM in other words, unless i'll just don't care about Knox.

Hello All,

I purchased a Tab 3 7.0 and after applying root and installing titanium back and am wondering which APKs are safe to remove. I've gotten rid of the music player, music hub, the samsung app store, and there video player.

I was hoping we could get a list together to see what other systems apps are safe to remove.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dtaylorr:
good idea

Good first removals.

One of the greatest advantages of Rooting is getting rid of all of the useless BS.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vlucchetti:
I use root explorer, go into system/apps and start marking the apk and odx of files I know I don't/won't use. I move them to my sd card in the "bloat" folder a few at a time and have not seen any issues. 340 MB and rising in there now.

bloatware that can be removed YMMV

I've now removed 520MB of junk
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nykie29:
hey guys can i use this app called "system app remover" to uninstall those? and or maybe can i delete it directly on /data/app and data/data??
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biline:
Thanks it works

[MENTION=2189410]vlucchetti[/MENTION]

First thanks for that link it was helpful:highfive:

I can confirm that almost everything on the list from the link can be safely removed, mind you not everything on the list was installed ;)

I went from an average of over 25+ things being open in memory to 13+ after that cleansing. :victory:
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quizzer2094:
question

how do you check whats running in the background is thier an app for it or anything ..

removed everything from the above list, on both the website, etc .. and just want to check how many processes i have running ..

tab is alot faster now ..
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T3snake:
To see whays running in vackgroung go to app manager in settings and swipe to go to running apps window

The ones running can be seen there

Also the cached apps the app processes tht h been stored in ram for faster multitasking can be found by clicking on cached apps on the top cornee

See the helium script in dev section it is a cwm flashable package to remove bloat

If u wanna find out yourself

Id suggest freezing apps then see if there r any problems then make a backup (if u r still unsure) and safely delete the app. So if u find the need u can just restore it
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zambeezi:
That list is exactly what I've been looking (unsuccessfully) for.

Thank you :good:
[Google Chromecast] Jersey846:
So I am trying to repurpose a decent sized old monitor. It only had a dvi input, so I ordered a dvi to hdmi on Amazon. Plugged it in today, seems to work flawlessly. Here's where my brain farted. Audio. The monitor has no speakers. I was hoping to be able to play the audio through my phone. Didn't work. There is no audio jack on the monitor. There are 3 additional usb ports on the monitor, but I am doubting that it would pick up the audio that way if I directly plugged in usb speakers. Any ideas for a workaround?

[Google Chromecast] Jersey846:
Thanks! Will this work even though it's not an actual hdmi port? It's just dvi that was converted. I was under the impression that dvi only supports video.
[Google Chromecast] rbeavers:
Chromcast IN your html2dvi OUT, connect the audio to speakers (powered).
[Google Chromecast] Jersey846:
Perfect thanks. Going to give this a shot.
[Google Chromecast] ecksor:
I have exactly the same setup, works perfectly.

The only thing, you might need a 3.5mm Stereo Female to RCA Male Y-Cable to connect the speakers or headphones to your HDMI extractor's RCA inputs if you want this project to be budget-friendly. Most inexpensive computer speakers have only 3.5mm connector.
[Google Chromecast] Jersey846:
Perfect thanks for the input! Will hook it up as soon as it comes in the mail.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] kfs325:
Today I plugged in my phone to my speakers to listen to music and its playing mostly on the speakers just fine. But every so often the sound comes out of the phone for a second instead of the speakers then goes back to the speakers. Is this just my phone dying after (almost) two years or is this some kind of bug? Anyone seen this before? I recently install AOIP with the whitescreen kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] schuylkillparanormal:
Its the ROM try using viper sound mod it will be fix in aoip 2.0
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] kfs325:
OK, thanks! Good to know.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] teerout:
I had the same thoughts about my audio port crapping out on me. I bought an fm transmitter/ charger dock for my car so I can stream music over the web to my car stereo when i drive. however the music player stops randomly. this seems to be an issue for a number of people after looking through the webs about it.

not trying to hijack the thread (but i am) is this similar to what you experince? i dont think it is becuase my music -pauses-, it does not continue to play through the regular speaker.

It seems according to a few posts ive read, that a change in the data connection is what causes the music to stop. going from 4g -> 3g or what have you. and since i only have this issue when im trying to listen in the car, riding down the road, i can see a correlation. and its not just when playing streamed media, it will pause when playing stored files from the memory card too.

fyi - AOIP -6/30 i think it is.

has anyone have changed the default wall paper in framework-res-apk without getting bootloop....I was able to change it using apk tool manager but i get an unsignedframrework-res.apk when i transfer it to my rom it does change the default wallpaper but it creates errors and bootloops...if any developers see this and have done this kind of work i would greatly appreciate it....i have read many threads without finding the answer...

Thank you.

I'm running SACS Custom 7.1 with Faux kernal, and since I update to 7.1 from v7, my phone doesn't save any wifi profiles I connect to. Another thing I've noticed is no image shows up when recieving a call, so I have no idea who is calling. I got a 3rd party caller id from the market to fix that, but still a strange issue.

I am experianced with phones, but haven't posed enough here to post in SACs page, so any ideas would be helpful.

I tried looking at settings from 3minit or XPOSED, but nothing has changed since V7, so I'm wondering where to look.

The wifi profile shows up in data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf, but only the one I am connected to at the time. If i disconnect and reconnect I need to re-enter the password.

Not important but annoying.

Thanks for your help in advance, you guys are awesome!

P.S. SACs work is awesome, no complaints here, just troubleshooting strange issues
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ROMANTiC KiD:
Sorry not to be a jerk but if you read the thread atleast without having the ability to post you will find that the issue for wifi is the faux kernel and to fix that just flash a different kernel. The black caller id is because a setting in xpose sorry I forgot what module was the culprit. If I where you ill just wipe everything clean 3 times and then install v7.1. Then you will see no problems.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ace1134:
the juhPaus

Thanks for the response. I appreciate the help. Should have read better is the common problem, thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ace1134:
Update:

Reflashed ROM after wiping everything 4-5 times, like recommended, stock kernel.

Wifi issue resolved, but still getting black screen with only answer slider when receiving a call.

All Exposed mods are not activated yet, so must be something else. Nothing in 3minit is set up yet either.

Any other ideas?

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] JoeFCaputo113:
Go into Xposed

Uncheck Gravity

OR if you like Gravity pick "full screen caller ID" (it's in there somewhere in the settings, I just forget exactly where)

Problem solved :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] mcluvin737:
Is there a recommended kernel to fix the wifi issue? A link to download would be awesome. I'm a root newb. I've searched around and it looks like I should be able to flash the new kernel from cwm? Do you do it just like a room install? Just install from zip? I'd like to just flak the kernel, so I don't have to set everything up all over again like I do after a new rom. Is that doable? Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] dante32278:
Flash whatever kernel you want that is for the Sprint gs4, just wipe cache and dalvik first. After flashing, fix permissions in TWRP under the advanced menu just to be sure your phone is optimized. You can do this whenever you want, just give a kernel around a day to see if you like its performance before you change it again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] daniel4653:
Yeah just like a ROM. Flash in CWM is all you do. Go in original development and try out ktoonz or agats kernel. I've heard chronic is also good.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] mcluvin737:
Awesome, thanks guys! I want to be just like you when I grow up! I'll give it a shot.

Just recently became a new owner of the Galaxy S4. I have been rooting and flashing for a few years now, and now that I am at the point of flashing my first ROM for my S4, I would like to choose one that offers some battery improvements over the stock ROM. Any suggestions?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ROMANTiC KiD:
I feel like this thread is going to get closed.... just saying. But it all depends on how the user uses the phone, mods or kernels used. But to answer your question, ive heard sacs rom is pretty good with battery and it also a customizable rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] daniel4653:
Yeah this thread needs to be closed.

Flash different roms and kernels and see which one gives you the best battery life. Done.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ROMANTiC KiD:
Because getting out the most of a battery depends on the user usage. Also kernel, apps, mods, etc etc and also every phone is different so you wont get the same results.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Naddict:
Sorry, see all of the above to understand the reasons why "Best" rom threads get shut.

"Best" is in the eye of the beholder, and based on a variety of users needs or desires.

Presenting the Xperia Theme Accent Changer App for Xperia 2011 Devices

As we know Our devices were deprived of a Theme Accent Changer App by default

Ayush and I have created an app from scratch for Changing Theme Accents :)

Whats New?

How It works?

How To?

* Note that you need to flash the zip provided to have the Sony folder in Sdcard which is mandatory

* You need to have supported framework & Apps to notice the changes

Here are some of things which works really well with this App to see perfect changes

Framework - Thread

Settings - Thread

If you have download the zip then make a folder system/app & put the apk inside that folder..

May b you didn't flash the zip? If you don't flash the zip what will it replace?

You have to have proper framework for the framework effect to appear, or atleast apps

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Saqib Nazm:
You need proper framework &/or apps to see the changes, use DbcCabulsay's or BDFreak's Xperia Z1 framework
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] saifssj6:
cannot find dbccabulsay's framework and bdfraks apparently works on deodexed rom,dont know what that means
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] DeathStroke:
What rom you are using, try bdfreak framework, on the same thread deodexer patch is also present. Flash that if you using stock ics. If using a custom rom then it must be deodex already.

Flash via CWM (SemcGenerics are included) - Media Fire Link

However your framework or apps should be supported for the colorizing function to take efect. Like here is a link to Framework & Settings with which you can see proper changes.

Well done bro [MENTION=4879131]saqib nazm[/MENTION]! It works perfectly! At least for me. Thank you for your hard work.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] pepitoff:
Hi [MENTION=4879131]saqib nazm[/MENTION], it works perfect!

But...

1. Maybe you have to include and DefaultTheme.apk for this who don't have it on installed ROM /for example: people like me installed you ROM/

2. Why we need to have two places to change desktop wallpaper - in Settings>Personalization and Settings>Display>Wallpaper?!?!?

All this is related to your Settings. Maybe I posted in wrong section....
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Saqib Nazm:
thanks for feedback :) this app isn't related with Default Themes in anyways. So I think you mean that for my Z1 Settings, actually I didn't include cause people like to use default theme which they like, & I think except for my rom all the roms got DefaultThemes.apk. I am also including in my Rom update

& about wallpaper I added in personalization like Z1 but forgot to remove it from Display Settings
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] pepitoff:
Thanks for your quick reply!

If we don't have Z1 Default Themes included the Settings>Personalization>Theme is absolutely usefulness :)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Saqib Nazm:
Hey guys If you like my app then help me to make it to the portal :) Tip us button in 1st post (right corner)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] :
Works without reboot?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Saqib Nazm:
It depends on your framework, If your framework can support colorizing without reboot it will work, but for this app changes color of Z/Z1 app immediately without reboot. & for framework, like BDFreak's V2 framework changes color without reboot, but the latest one has texts colorizing also so doesn't changes without reboot
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] TakuyaZ:
So. I need BDFreak framework
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Saqib Nazm:
yes with his framework you will get the full experience
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] TakuyaZ:
100% would use bdfreak framework if the holo apps is holo instead of sony theme like the original z1
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Saqib Nazm:
New Version 3.0 is added to download :)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] pepitoff:
Hi [MENTION=4879131]saqib nazm[/MENTION],

Great work. You are great developer :good:

Accent changes but after restart the CPU said "The values are not applied..."

And few more things:

1. The title of the New Version 3.0 app is "Xperia Theme" but app changes only accent. To change theme we have to navigate to Settings>Personalization>Theme

2. In your Z1_Honamy_Settings the Wallpaper appears on both places: Settings>Personalization>Wallpaper and in Settings>Display>Wallpaper. One of them is unnecessary.

And finally is it possible to make one app to change accent+wallpaper+lockscreen wallpaper like is shown in different pictures in Accent Changer?

I mean when choose for example "Xperia Blue" in Accent Changer it changes simultaneously Accent+Wallpaper+Lockscreen wallpaper.

Thanks for your attention to.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Saqib Nazm:
Values not applied is not a fault of this app, it is either by xBooster or Cpu Control.

I kept the title to Xperia Theme because it looks odd in Z1 launcher when it is named as "Xperia Theme Accent Changer" it goes off the layout.

I have described you about wallpaper appearing in both places in the other thread or may be in this thread :confused: that I forgot to remove it from display settings

& I have a plan to make a proper theme accent changer in future so yes you can hope for that
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] pepitoff:
Yes I remember that you had described me bout wallpaper in both places. But do you remember I asked you to fix this?

Please fix it and upload proper Settings.apk. Please...

And I will wait for proper theme accent changer in the future :laugh:
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] krchi:
wait so how does this app open?? do you like press theme from the z1 launcher or what so confused.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Saqib Nazm:
this app opens when you press on the app like every normal app

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] friza.inamorta:
why I get notification some error occured, copying failed??
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Saqib Nazm:
Ohk I will upload that again when I get some time

Check the resources in SD card, there should be a folder named "Sony" & folders with different color names.

The app copies the SemcGenericUxpRes.apk from SD card & replaces in System, if you apply one, without rebooting device it cannot apply another as the process needs to completed with a reboot

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] xiasma:
OK, I've not read a word of the manual, so maybe I'm doing something wrong. When I soft reset (stylus in the hole) the screen fade away and then it won't for the love of god restart. The first time I did this, I went a little pale. however, if I take out the battery for around five minutes and then plug it back in, it starts up again. Is this wrong?

Also, never quite been able to hard reset the damned thing. I press and hold the two "__" buttons whilst performing the reset, but the same thing happens and I'm never prompted for screen calibration or anything else I'd expect from a hard reset. SOMEBODY HOLD ME :oops:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] xiasma:
Can someone please talk me through the EXACT and DETAILED procedure and result both a soft reset and hard reset?

For me, on my MDA Pro:

Soft reset: Insert tip of stylus into "reset" hole briefly. Screen fades away to blank and the machine then acts dead. No buttons will bring it back to life. Take the battery out and plug it back in, still dead. Come back after 30 minutes, still dead. It needs the battery removing for at least 5 minutes, maybe more like 10, then reinserting and it springs back to life.

Hard reset: Hold down the two "__" keys (above the 4 and 9 keys) whilst inserting the stylus tip into the reset hole briefly. Exactly the same thing happens as a soft reset - no hard reset is performed.

I'm pretty sure this is all wrong and my device is "special" :(
