I know this thread is pretty old now but I had a similar problem getting this to work. Try deleting the space between Black Panther, it worked for me. :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Viper®:
I had the same problem !!!

I think it was with the Helmi Aku 3.2 or 3.5 ROM

don't know why, I could just select a theme but it would always be stuck on windows default.

I eventually flashed it with a newer rom, never had the problem again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Zantillian:
Hello! I apologize for asking something that's fairly basic. I went to install some ROMs onto my Verizon Galaxy S4 and realized something. The ROM I was about to install is i9505, which I figured was my phone. But when I'm on the Verizon S4 forums and while I was checking my phone's model number, I realized everything says SCH-I545. Which leads me to a few questions.

What exactly should I be looking for when I want to install a ROM onto my phone?

Are Verizon S4 phones bootloader locked? or is it just the newest update? What does that mean for us?

What exactly are i9505 phones?

Sometimes it's hard for me to find direct answers to questions like these as I'm not a super active member in rooting forums. I appreciate your help very much.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JaeKay:
Welcome!

First of all, those (i9505 and SCH-I545) are model numbers. 9505 is international and I545 is verizon.

Secondly, the bootloader is unlocked for all versions of the Verizon model. However, there is a workaround for a custom recovery for the MDK build. If you are on the ME7 build, you can only root.

Rooting guides should be on the general form, and MDK loki exploit (which allows recovery installation) is also here. If you are on ME7, you can install safestrap after rooting, which kinda lets you install ROMs, through booting on top of stock.

For ROMS that work with Verizon's check out Verizon Samsung Galaxy s 4 > Android Development or Original Android Devlopment.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hexitnow:
Just to clarify he means the bootloader is LOCKED for all verizon s4's. In the development section there is several touch wiz based roms, hyperdrive seems to be the most popular at the moment. the original dev section houses mostly aosp based roms, so between the 2 sections there is a ton of different rom choices. Battery life, stability, and customization are generally the most sought after features.

Hit thanks if I helped you out. Doing a little bit of reading goes a long way. Sent via tapatalk.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Zantillian:
Thank you. I do have MDK build and have stayed there from hearing about ME7. Thanks for your help.

Thank you also for your help.

I work at a vzw premium retailer, and I've done 2 upgrades today, both let me keep the unlimited data without any workarounds or loopholes, just let me click next and it went right through!

Just thought I should let people know. One of the orders was a preorder as well, so IP5s and Note 3 people should be able to utilize this as well.

Hi,

Has anyone gotten the D30 case from T-Mobile? Is so how is it?

How about the BodyGlove Fusion? I am looking for something with a nice sized lip around the bezel to protect the screen in case of a drop.

Thanks
[G2 Accessories] 20degrees:
Somebody posted that fusion case in the cases thread. I almost ordered the d3o case but it's not fully clear and doesn't look good imo.
[G2 Accessories] Z51:
I have the body glove case. Don't like it. Feels real bulky

TapaTalked From My G2
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imucarmen:
I run tsf shell and next launcher and adw ex 99 percent of the time though so far I've only run tsf and next on my g2. I have experienced the exact same issue while running both launchers. I'm rooted and have over 30 apps frozen including the stock launcher.

I'm having an issue where after running my phone for awhile my launcher will lock up and refuse to do anything, or it will run so slow that it's impossible to use. The strange thing is I can still drag the notification window down and go into settings and do whatever in there and everything functions fine and is smooth, so I know there's some issue with the launcher. A reboot fixes it for awhile but it has come back several times. Another weird thing to note is the launcher isn't force closing. It will continue to run and never force close.

This thread isn't about me having a buggy phone and need to return it (though anything is possible) but it's about me thinking I have caused this issue myself by freezing something I shouldn't and now I'm getting this. At first I thought it was tsf shell so I downloaded next and froze tsf and it happened on next so I know it's not the launcher itself. Based on my thinking that it's something I froze I have since defrosted the LG home app and after a couple hours have yet to have the issue. But I'll keep this thread posted on what happens.

If someone else has had this and fixed it please post...if you are having it and didn't know what to do and you froze LG home try defrosting it and post your results. I know from experience that sometimes these phones on the stock roms can bug out when you freeze certain stock apps so I'm trying to troubleshoot. Thanks.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imucarmen:
You obviously missed the point of my thread but thanks for the feedback.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lyrical1278:
Sounds like you froze the stock launcher and the phone bugged out. Just leave the stock launcher unfroze.. No telling how many lg system enhancements depend on it.

As for me, I never freeze apps. I just remove them using root explorer. Usually isn't hard to find out what apps are safe or unsafe to remove.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrgilbert79:
I also think it's a UI function that uses the launcher. I have not used a shell and a launcher together before but I'll try it later w/out freezing. The LG launcher.

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kairnage:
So I picked up a couple of used 32GB Touchpads Both were stuck at the setup screen waiting for WiFi to find a network. They would just continually scan.

So I bypassed the setup, neither WiFi or Bluetooth will turn on. I tried a few fixes I found on the internet with no luck. Enable then Disable Airplane mode, Leave it running trying to turn on BT and WiFi overnight on a charger. I rolled it back to 3.0.0 then back up to 3.0.5 one by one with the same results.

I decided to go ahead and try CWM and see what happens. WiFi and Bluetooth work perfectly in CM9 and CM10??!!?? Not a single issue. So I went back to WebOS and since I don't have WiFi I used WOSQI to install Uberkernel and Govnah, thinking maybe a new kernel would fix it. The same results as before.

For the life of me I am stuck. Sure Android works perfect but I would still like to figure out where the problem is.

Anybody have any ideas?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jmorton10:
Hey guys, help me out here.

I have a 13 year old daughter. I recently gave her a highly tweaked/ROMed etc. VZ Galaxy 3 that I had sitting around being unused at the time (so I wouldn't have to buy her an iphone like all her friends have LOL).

She loves the thing with one exception: ALL her friends with the iphones use facetime (& my daughter does too when she's home & can use her old ipod on my Wifi LAN).

She asked me yesterday "hey Dad, how do I install facetime in my Galaxy??"

I knew that wasn't possible, but then she wanted to know if there was a similar Android app for the Galaxy.

The closest thing I could think of (that I have used myself) was the app Viber that I use for Voice over IP when I am out of the country, but that does voice & text just fine but does not do video (I could care less about video when on a call myself).

Does anybody have any suggestions on an app (free or pay is OK) that might take the place of facetime in Android???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dragonstalker:
Tango, Skype, and Maybe Fring. I have never used Fring before to call iphone, but it used to work great back in the day across symbian and windows.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jmlape:
Don't mean to sound stupid but ill feel better if I at least ask. I for the first time bought a micro sd card for my phone. Before I start to move files to it id like clarification on a couple of things. If I move my apps to the sd card, what happens when I flash a new rom? Do I have to install all of them again? Are they automatically recognized and installed automatically? Is. There anything I shouldn't move to the sd card? Also can I move TWRP to the sd card? If I can and boot into recovery the phone will know where the program is located? Dont mean to babble but whenever I try something for the first time like this I just like to get as much info before I proceed. Thanks for any help I can get on this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] IDontKnowMang:
You can back them up. You have to have the Pro version of titanium backup but you can upload your apps to cloud storage and re download them. I'm not 100% on that because I never restored apps. I could be wrong but you can for sure backup apps before flashing
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] megalomanic14:
I went into my local att store today to play with the display note 3 that just got set up today. When I was chatting with the the sales man about the note 3 he informed me that att would not start selling the note until Friday, October 4th, rather than the 1st as their website would suggest and that rumor reports would have us believe. Obviously, I was a little annoyed and thought he may be simply misinformed, until I called another att store about 5 miles away who stated the same thing. So just as a heads up to any att users out there waiting to pick up a note 3, att will put it on sale Friday 10/4/2013. As for the other issue of being a little dissapointed with the note 3, that's a whole other story for another thread.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ArborRes:
I found the same when visiting a local AT&T store as well.

One more week of waiting, while using the Galaxy Nexus as my backup phone....painfully...

Actually, what I'm disappointed for the moment is the lack of accessory options, especially good covers.

I can't wait to have the option of getting a leather wallet case for this new device!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Zach Alt:
This isn't news and it's still not confirmed. I've been given dates of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Partridge86:
Today I went in hoping to check out the Note 3 before it came out however I was bummed out when the guy said, "Yeah those dont come out until the 4th." To which I replied, "Well do you have one on display so that I dont have to spend a lot of time checking the phone out before purchasing it on the 4th, seeing as it may be a little crowded?". He then said, "Nope we wont have any of them in stock until the 4th when the phone is released." I think I will wait until the Note 3 and One Max come out, compare in store, and then make my purchase online so they wont get any commision.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] megalomanic14:
what I don't get is what carriers gain by not giving out the correct release dates? Especially to people who are coming in to actually buy the phone.. . I mean what business practice or marketing benefit Could this possibly be ? In my eyes it only serves to annoy People who are coming in to sign contracts or in my case drop nearly 800 dollars on a phone, yet they screw us around. I just dont get this kind of business. Anyway, while the maybe old news apparently to Zach I wasn't aware of ATT not releasing the Note 3 on the 1st as their website and media outlets have suggested ... I simply wanted to pass on the info to others in my position waiting around For Note 3, although it did give me the chance to play with it and realize how similar my Note 2 was and 2nd guess my decision or if I do get Note 3, 2nd guess ordering it offline vs. giving att my money.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] rchapoteau:
If I had a guess, they will ship pre-orders out on the 1st for people that ordered online, but maybe they wont sell in store until the 4th? I feel like something similar happened with the Note 2 if I remember right, but I'm not sure.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] incisivekeith:
The video was posted on September 27, so it seems like it was actually being unboxed by an AT&T employee or a reviewer. I've read somewhere on this forum that the AT&T employees did not get the headphone and the other goodies that would normally be shipped to consumers of these phones. Nothing confirmed, but the AT&T website might be the best source.

I went to an AT&T store last night at Roosevelt Field, mall on Long Island, NY. They had a white Note 3 on display. I have been wanting to get it anyway, but it was even better than my expectations. I was getting nervous reading the negative posts on here, but I was very impressed. Definitely upgrading from the Note 2. I asked the sales rep if the phones would be available on Tuesday and he said "Yes, Tuesday." I hope that is true and he wasn't just agreeing with me. :confused:

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ReggieSmith:
Web site merely states approximate ship dates if you pre-order. I haven't seen anything showing an in-store date on their website..
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] diehardbattery:
Couple of thoughts. First, the amount of logistics, planning that go into releasing a product on a certain date is mind blowing. Everything has to go right. In some cases, even the slightest delay will cause issues.

I'm not saying it can't be done, especially with a company with the financial clout that AT&T has, but to have ALL the stores have the product on the same day to sell, seems unlikely. Different dates are given by different people, could be for any number of reasons. Maybe they're a newer employee and was misinformed or misunderstood. Maybe there's a overworked manager who misheard or misread something. The fact of the matter is it will get here when it gets here. I'm waiting patiently for my Note 3 preorder...

Second, I also got a Note 2 on launch day. No headphones included there. Frankly, I don't understand what the big deal with having them included is. Unless they were the Beats headphones or something. They would probably be average quality at best anyway...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Gargamel198024:
I just called my local corporate store and the guy I spoke with said that they have them in the store and one is on display. He also said that in their system they have no official release date and said that it will be available the first week of October. He did however confirm my question that if I come in on Tuesday (October 1st) that I could grab one. So, its now a wait and see on Tuesday morning.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] incisivekeith:

I understand where you're coming from, but let's face it, this has been done over and over again for a number of years, so it's not like these carriers are doing it for the first time. They certainly have the iPhone available the same day across all the stores.

If you're paying loads of money to get the phone then the least you expect is that you get all the basic accessories with the phone, instead of having to pay to get new ones.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] diehardbattery:
I agree about the iPhone. However, I suspect that Apple has much more control over that process than most. Heck, it seems like a carrier had to beg Apple to let them sell it, but only under Apple's terms. I'm not sure if this is the case with other manufacturers but it would make sense..

Also, in my mind, it doesn't matter if it's the first time or the 100th time. The amount of variables alone are enough to derail anything in the process as it goes. It's easy to think that they'd learn from past experiences, but that's not always the case...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] kitsinni:
On the att site when you click "what is in the box" it doesn't list headphones. I wonder if other carriers are shipping with headphones? I don't use them really but if it is the same price and other carriers include them that is kind of messed up.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] alemkr:
Are there that many people out there that actually use them? ( boxed headphones ) I personally do not and thought probably most others don't either.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Dumbo53:
Who knows when they don't give them out? I for one would try them and minimum be glad to have them as a spare. Typical At&t. They want to charge you again for something you already bought! They make a lot of money selling earphones when they sell the phone. That's why they remove them when they rebox it. And they'll happily sell the replacement tips too.
