Do a factory reset via stock Samsung recovery..that should help you..

Don that and no change
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Check in recovery that your efs folder is mounted. If that partition is damaged then recent stock rom will not pass bootloader stage.

Edit, don't use cf root for recovery -it's well out of date and includes SDS risk. Instead flash philz recovery using Odin.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] snowrider0985:
Hey so I have the verizon gs4 sch-I545 for some reason I don't have the samsung apps app on my phone and I can't figure out where or how to install it. I downloaded it from one of the threads here but it won't let me install it? Anyone have any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] y157:
You might have more luck with more information on how you got to this point. For instance, did you root your phone and remove the apps? Also where did you download the apps from? If they are APKs you can install them from a file browser. If they are ZIP files you probably need to flash them from your custom recovery. Most downloads include specific instructions on how to install, so I would check there first. If there are no instructions, then I suggest you ask for help in that thread, that is unless someone else hasn't already.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] snowrider0985:
I was rooted but still pretty much stock. I flash back to stock using odin so I could use the isis wallet. Then I upgraded to 4.2.2 and noticed that I no longer had samsung apps. So today I went to Samsung's website and downloaded it. Clicked to install and it trys to install then says application not installed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RicheemXX:
Same issue here, bone stock VZW GS4 recently update to 4.3 and factory reset. I downloaded the APK directly from the Samsung Apps site and it shows the same error. I don't really need it for anything but it would still be nice to get it fixed.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bnevets27:
I'm have slight buyers remorse, but I have a few more days till I can't return it for a full refund. I hoping to find out if any of the issue I have with the Note 3 or more accurately touchwiz will be able to be solved. I'm coming from a history of running customs ROMS on my galaxy S1 and galaxy S2, most of the time cyaogenmod. Lucky I find touchwiz has improved but here are my over all gripes:

Can't change the vibration pattern for notifications, most importantly text messages and emails. You can create customs patterns but they are only for calls. This is my biggest problem right now. And the fact that clearing a message from the notification bar doesn't mark it as read is annoying.

I would love on screen buttons, with this much screen restate it's a great phone for on screen buttons, I also find getting low enough to press the capacitive buttons with my thumb and still holding the phone a bit difficult and I think I would have no trouble if there was on screen buttons. - SoftKey Enabler, requires root- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fatedevgroup.softkeyenabler&feature=search_result

I really got used and liked the pop up/quick message window option that cyaogenmod had. I would like that along with the removal of chat bubbles.

I also liked black/Holo design, I sure this can and will come some how. Also we'll see how kitkat ends up looking...

How likely is it that my gripes with touchwiz can be fixed, yet still stay on touchwiz framework due to not wanting to lose functionality? I am aware it will require root and most likely a custom ROM, but if I was able to start out with just some modifications to stock rom, that might be a good start. I might find out but 1-4 are my biggest complaints. I love the note 3's hardware, but I'm hoping the roms/touchwiz won't push me toward the nexus 5....

One additional question, all these model numbers are confusing as hell. I have the N900W8, will that hinder my ability to use custom roms? Is it an equivalent to another model number? (X-Note is the only roms I've seen so far the explicitly says its compatible with the 900W8)

If you open Magazine and hit menu, then choose Settings, you can turn the double home press off from in there.

The swipe from the bottom gesture can't be disabled short of doing something like freezing Magazine with Titanium Backup.

A fwlew of these things are easily fixed with xposed wanam module. You need to be rooted though. As for Google voice, freeze svoice (maybe you can just clear defaults, but I froze it) then when you double tap home, you'll be given options in what you want that to do.

you should be able to overwrite it I would think, many others have reported the ability to overwrite the file in rom, it just comes back on hard reset.

try using resco explorer and viewing files in rom.

you may also have to perhaps consider disabling the phone application (flight mode) to disable the launching of the phone application on startup.

Hey every developers in XDA.

now XPERIA PLAY is not as good as before,because its performance to keep pace with The Times.but the RAM, ROM,CPU,also the screen are still very well THERE is ONLY one problem ––the GPU

so i want to develop a GPU OVERCLOCKING KERNEL with my project ExtremeRoms

the GPU CLOCK must be over 310mhz!!

dose anybody want to teach me how to develop?

thanks:)

sorry for my bad English
[Xperia Play General] korrectmethod:
You should read the rules of the forums here on xda. This isn't the place to ask people how to develop a kernel. Devs have already proven overclocking the gpu on it phone is bad.
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
It has been said many times before. A the Adreno 205 in our phone and basically all Adreno chips are CPU/GPU integrated into one chip. When you overclock yoour phone you are also OC your GPU. Devs who have managed to OC the GPU by itself have run into issues that were not conducive as a daily use. Many have tried and it has been said time and time again.

Now that being said just doing a quick search for Adreno 205 Overclock GPU XDA brings up dozens of pages of where other phones with the 220 and or 205 were said to be overclocked, but then reading down even more its not overclocked.

Hate to rain on your parade and your thread, you are certainly welcome to try but even devs with loads of experience, DoomKernel himself, has been unable to make a GPU OC, in V13 of his DoomKernel for XP he quickly released v14 and reverted the GPU overclock due to issues.

---------- Post added at 04:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:24 PM ----------

Given the age of our phone and its hardware I think what we are able to do is about the best we can get out of our beloved device. I am sure there is always room for improvement but without all sources from Sony (Ericsson) and Qualcomm I believe we are at the limit of what can be done to our device. Its either be happy with where are device is and be happy that it plays MC3/MC4 and a boatload of emulators with a sweet kicka$$ gamepad, or bunker down and buy a newer device with far better specs and no gamepad/touchpad/triggers.

Now, I was able to use a GS4 for a week and an HTC One, and as much as those device are beautiful in their own right, gaming is horrible. I quickly came back to my PLAY and am very happy with this device still, yes even with its old age and its issues, I am still a happy camper.

Now, this being all said, if you want to work on making an Ultra Kernel I know myself and several people would happily give your kernel a shot. Please dont take my comments as demeaning or belittling. I just think people need to realize that at this point theres very little improvement upon whats been done.

Now, that also being said if you want a beta tester for your kernel I would be happy to test it for you. :)

How to tweak this kernel for stopping G2 from overheating? Even I lowered my CPU to 1ghz it is still overheating. :crying: please help. thanks
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hammer_Of_The_Gods:
Hi,

What is exactly overheating for you???

Can you share your CPU/battery temperatures?

Overheating... But when? When playing a game while downloading a huge file over 4G and while charging? :D

After that you can try to undervolt a little (be carefull, step by step and don't set your undervolt at boot unless you're sure it's stable) and play with the thermal control by decreasing the max CPU temperature before thermal throttling...

You can use an app like Trickster Mod or Faux123 app (kernel enhancement) on the Play Store.

:)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coowkeee:
After playing heavy games, I can use my phone to iron clothes. lol. Well, I know it have quad core that's why I bought it. And I think having this kind of power is a disadvantage too because it heats very quickly like 10mins of heavy gaming.. And by heating it decreases the battery life.. :( I don't want to use this quad core phone in just browsing and watching video only, i bought this for gaming also.. lol

I don't know now where to use these quad cores.. lol... I envy my brother now, playing games smoothly on his ip5s with cool temp.. >.<

I have fauxclock and leave it to Intellithermal frequency throttle temp:80c and core throttle temp 85c. Is that ok?

Thanks :cyclops:
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hammer_Of_The_Gods:
Re,

Hummm..... :laugh:

Decrease the two temperatures of 10°C... And use Ondemand or Interactive governor with MpDesicion "on"...

Try undervolt/underclock a little... No need to underclock at 1 Ghz otherwise, right, it will lag...

But I don't think you really understand what I was trying to say... Heavy games+quadcore 2,26 Ghz+10 mins of use with that...= heat (and not overheating), are you sure there is something wrong or abnormal?

What is your CPU/battery temperatures???

And please don't compare our CPU's with the one in the Iphhone 5, it's not the same thing.

:)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coowkeee:
I think its totally heat. :D But is it ok to heat it for like 1hr straight? Will it decrease the lifespan of my battery?

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hammer_Of_The_Gods:
Hi,

Is that too hard to do it by yourself :eek::confused:. This:

Begin with -25 mV but don't set at boot, use your phone for a day like as always (games, browsing, etc...). If you don't have reboots or anything wrong then try another step by - 25 mV. If you went too low your phone will reboot, (so don't use the set/apply on boot setting or you could have a bootloop), at this point you"ll know the undervolt possibility. Apply your last setting before the crash and see...

I don't know what we could do more... I think you need to read a bit more ;)

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strif3:
Heloo i have the same problem when i play games likeplants vs zombies my phone hetas badly imen like 70°C(160°F) and i dont think it normal in like 10 to 15 min to be like that,i have root andtrickster app instaled and i alawys check the temperature.

I know its normal for the phone to heat but not so fast i seen thrads where users reported theyre g2 doesent heat bad att all.I have cpu threshold. on ,activated it from secret men.

So please helpwith advice and youre experience with this problem.

Thank you!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hammer_Of_The_Gods:
Hi,

Strif3, it's normal, point. 70°C is the CPU temperature limit before thermal throttling. What can I say more??? Read my posts above...

Use your phone like you want, as usual in any case there is a thermal protection! I think that Qualcomm knows how their SoC needs to be set about thermal stuff and I think (I'm sure) you can play heavy games without any issues even if your phone is at 70°C.

If your CPU temp was at 100°C (without modifie the thermal throttling), ok maybe here there is a problem (it depends also what you are doing), but I repeat 70°C during a game and after 10 mins i's totally normal!

If you all guys are worried about the CPU temperature, stop playing games, browsing in 4G and underclock your CPU to 300 Mhz and all will be fine... :D

*** WHAT MY PROBLEM IS***

PLEASE can someone confirm any AOSP ROM that works with 2.15 HBOOT?

***WHAT I KNOW***

( i know the CM 10.2 thread says that RUU 3.18 which will make the hboot 2.14 but since 2.15 is latest i assume it should support)

(i also know that [HBOOT 2.15 is essential for SENSE 5 4.2.2 to run,i believe that's the only reason people go for 2.15):rolleyes:

***WHAT I HAVE TRIED***

NOW from what i have tried is that the 1st stable cm 10 release doesn't work with 2.15 (obviously too old build) my screen also became responsive(i believe that because of touch panel firmware) then with the latest stable release of cm 10.1 it specified that it needs hboot 2.14 and hence couldn't flash.

with PAC 4.3 it does gets installed but screen is unresponsive and infinite bootloops!:silly:

***WILL THIS WORK***

so now if i RUU 3.18 i will have to unlock boot loader and root it

(M SOFF SUPER CID)

which i m not really ready to do!:(

now there are methods that can help u downgrade/upgrade your firmware , can i do that?:confused:

also will using torched kernel help in me in any way?

***WHY DO I WANT AOSP***

Viper XL 4.2.2 best ROM ever hats off but the thing is i dont know why but i have Signal issues i tried flashing the recommended RADIO version.

since the vendor had already RUUd my device that was meant from some ASIAN region and already came with SENSE 5 and i dint mess up with it in any way still i had signal issues (which are unpredictable) i found by GSAM BATTERY monitor that around 30 to 40% of my battery is consumed by RADIO.

also the best signal is around -81db

i also had some issues with camera!

and then there is the numerous options i can have with AOSP.

****LASTLY CAN ANYONE HELP****

:angel:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
Just RUU. Your bootloader will remain unlocked and your S-OFF will remain

After the RUU you can flash recovery and flash a rom. You can technically just flash the 2.14 firmware.zip by extracting it from an OTA or an RUU, but easier to just ruu. and you get a nice clean wipe too.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 954wrecker:

will Bootloader remain Unlocked?

will it still be SOFF?

and SUPERCID?

so these things will survive the RUU?

thanks a lot EXAD!!!:good::good:

btw earlier you mentione its possible to extract the firmware file?

how can it be done?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
the easiest way is to extract firmware.zip from a 3.17/3.18 ota file for your carrier.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
I wouldn't mess with extracting the firmware files from the OTAs manually. If one of the hboot modules is missing, a brick can result. The OP is probably OK, since he has already manually updated to hboot 2.15. But RUU is still seems the safest way.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Sonone:
as always thank you...

since u recoomend thats the safest way i will try out that.

have to download the RUU 3.18!!!

this is not the truth, this is only your opinion, nothing more.

every device reacts differently with every kernel. therefore it is best to try as many kernels as you can to find the kernel that is best with your personal device. one person say that xxx kernel is the best, another says that yyyy is the best, but in reality there is no best kernel. anyways, these what are the best kernel/rom threads are not allowed on xda, as "best" is an opinion not a fact.
