Careful when encrypting

Hi all,

I'm not sure if this is rom specific but I wanted to share my encrypting experience. Tonight I decided encrypting my phone would be a good idea, I read up on it and it seemed like I would still be able to flash roms, get into recovery etc.

All seemed well but after encrypting I could not get back into the phone, or passed twrp. It was very strange, I put in a pin number when setting it up but it would only ask me for a password. I tried pretty much everything with no success. I had to put it into download mode and get stock back on it.

Like I said, I'm not sure if this rom specific or not.

Sorry again for the long delay. Had an on-site interview with Google on Friday that took most of my attention. New build up with updated APNs. FYI I haven't had time to run it myself. Let me know how it goes. I will install it later tonight/tomorrow.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] NightMare870:
Just flashed new build and everything seems good so far, no issues as of yet only been running for about an hour . I will run it tomorrow and if i come across any issues ill report back, thanks for the update bender
[Sprint LG Optimus G] ketanb81:
flashed the latest build... no issue so far. No FC issue...working smoothly.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Dshook1979:
Hi everyone, flashed last night. So far it's butter smooth and fast. It's my new daily driver. But I have one issue, the halo feature. When I open floating window, for example Hangouts, it opens the window at the bottom of the screen, under the keyboard. Typing blind isn't cool lol. Anyone know a fix for this?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] pwnyourace:
Has there been any big kernel changes lately? Would I be losing any new fixes or features by flashing neighborhoodhackers kernel or is it pretty much the same since his kernel was updated?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] ihitcows:
Seems great so far. Only issue: I can't seem to use the battery bar. There are options for it in settings > Carbon fibers > status bar > battery, but there's no option to turn it on.

Thanks thanks.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] goast:
Question does anybody know why when using active display one of my notifications is a question mark and it takes me to nothing.... Never had this happen before...
[Sprint LG Optimus G] dengar100:
So far so good

Flashed to latest yesterday, everything seems to be working with the exception of a few very small things.

1) Turning airplane mode on in quick settings doesn't turn off the gps (I think it used to)

2) Can't add certain items to quick settings tiles that used to be available

There was one other thing but I can't remember it now.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bender01729:
I don't believe GPS was ever turned off in airplane mode. Which quick setting items used to be available that are not there anymore?

Let me know if you remember the other thing and I will take a look.

Been running latest since upload. So far no personal problems. Seems to be doing everything I need perfectly fine. Thank you very much !
[Sprint LG Optimus G] dengar100:
I used to be able to add torch to the quick settings, it's just a small thing but something I got used to using!

As for the GPS, I must have had some llama settings in place that made it look like it did. Because of my encryption fail I lost everything and had to start fresh. BTW I'm not sure if that issue is a rom issue or not. Thanks!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] likwidkool:
Torch was removed by cm a few weeks ago. Not sure when they plan on putting it back in.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] dengar100:
APN Settings and a few other things

Been running 11/17 since the 17th, found a few more things today:

1) I accidentally enabled the navbar (carbon fibers --> navigation) last night. After some weird flickering the phone crashed, after a restart I couldn't turn the navbar off no matter what I did. I ended up fixing it by restoring my carbon fiber settings from titanium backups.

2) MMS size limit? This one is really silly but I was fooling around with the new sms feature in hangouts and couldn't figure out why some gifs were stripped of their .gif extension and were sent as a jpg. After spending too much time on something so silly I realized it was related to the size of the gif. Anything over 1.2 mb strips out .gif and send a .jpg, anything smaller than 1.2mb sends as a .gif. This doesn't seem to happen on stock so I found an old thread suggesting you can add APN values to fix this. I went to do that and found...

3) APN settings are not under settings --> wireless & networks, more. I'm not sure if it ever was, but it would be nice to have regardless.

Anyone else run into these? Thanks.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] pwnyourace:
On this ROM and the cm10.2 ROM we have when my phone is on vibrate my text tone, kik tone, and alert tones from games still play. Is anyone else having this problem or is there a fix?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] goast:
Sorry if this is a stupid question but I think I read that the sprint diagnostics app can't be used with our phones can anybody shed some light on the subject?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Rooster85:
Pretty sure only works om gnex
[Sprint LG Optimus G] goast:
So if you're not on stock there is pretty much no way to update profile and prl?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] NightMare870:
Exactly, you can only update profile and prl on stock based roms

Kernel Panic

I lost service today and got the com.android.phone error repeatedly flashing. I was trying to turn airplane mode on but my phone crashes. I got the kernel panic blue screen. Running 11/17.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] likwidkool:
I get some random app fc issues. Usually if I reboot to recovery, wipe cache and Dalvik, and fix permissions they go away.

Why No Thanks Button, FcoEnrique?

You don't have a "Thanks" button... Is it possible to "max out" on receiving thanks? I can't imagine that makes much sense.

I found the greatest success through OpTimuS 4.4 for flashing back and forth with this Carbon (though I'm still on spleefs 1020). If you need to lock GPS, or update your profile or PRL, it's my recommendation. :cowboy:
[Sprint LG Optimus G] askmeonemore:
Is the 10/20 build the most stable one? im trying to find one that i can stay on for a long time but every one i try gives black screen after a day or two so my morning alarms dont go off
[Sprint LG Optimus G] djn777:
new daily driver

just flashed last night and all i can say is wow!!! can't find a thing wrong with it yet
[Sprint LG Optimus G] goast:
[MENTION=3530954]bender01729[/MENTION] once carbon releases 4.4 do u plan on updating as well?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] ERAUguy:
I've had an issue where I'd turn the screen on and sometimes the statusbar and background fade to black like it's crashing. Can't pull down notifications when that happens and it's pretty annoying. I haven't run into this on other ROMs either, even on spleef's old carbon. Is this just my particular phone, or have others encountered this?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] dengar100:
yup, I get that too. Resetting the phone seems to fix it for a few days.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] djn777:
No gps lock, anyone got a good rom to flash and fix gps?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Dmaxx67:
Nexogen or optimus
[Sprint LG Optimus G] djn777:
do you flash gapps with that? getting odd errors
[Sprint LG Optimus G] drancid:
You can just flash any stock based rom and let your GPS lock for about a minute with google maps or any other gps status app then flash another ROM you want.

You can just follow the ROM's instruction.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] djn777:
yeah, trying to get to that point. flashed nexogen but at startup kept getting force close on keyboard of all things and was wondering if it was my gapps. gonna flash just rom and get the lock.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
Yeah you shouldn't have to install gapps on stock based roms. The fc is almost definitely because you flashed gapps and stock already had them installed. Good luck and hopefully it works for you!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] djn777:
thats what i figured so i flashed again with a clean flash and now it keeps booting over again to the nexus splash screen. just not my day. any other suggestion for a rom to flash to and fix my gps? carbon rocks by the way. and yes, i am using TWRP to flash
[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
And you did a full wipe(everything except internal)? I've done this trick a few times and it's always worked for me. Just backed up my rom, wiped everything, flashed stock and once I booted and had gps lock, just restored my backup. If you just installed carbon and not much else, you could just do a clean install after having lock as well. As for another rom, I know optimus de works great and is stock based. Here's the thread -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2468979
[Sprint LG Optimus G] djn777:
yeah, total wipe a few times and flash again. i'll try optimus de, very large zip but i just need that gps lock
[Sprint LG Optimus G] djn777:
6th time's a charm!! GPS working so now carbon is now 100% for me! bring on some 4.4 lovin
[Sprint LG Optimus G] drancid:
love Carbon's battery life!!

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pikezer1337:
The bezel seems to be a very weak part on the phone because I have dropped the phone twice from no more than 4 feet and it has dented the bezel. I also dropped the phone while doing pull ups at the gym and it landed on a bouncy surface at about 7 feet up and it made a huge dent. I'm thinking about trying to isolate the regions and use chrome spraypaint on it, but I'm not sure. I have a case coming for when I'm not in my house, but I'm really just waiting for a custom case that I can make. Any other suggestions?

Hello. I've been having trouble getting my VZ GS4 back to a status where I can take the OTA update.

After modifying to run Google Wallet, I cannot take the OTA update. I unrooted, and it still did not take the update.

I am working with a Macbook Pro, which has a Virtualbox WinXP virtual machine that does speak to my phone via USB.

I am trying to re-root my phone, with difficulty.

If anyone has any help to offer, it would be much appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hexitnow:
The easiest way would be to odin a factory image and then take the update. There are no wipe factory images that will keep any user data so you dont have to redownload any apps you may already have. You can try doing it through the xp virtual box or use heimdall which is like odin buy its also mac compatible.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] test84:
Hi,

A friend called me regarding his phone, which is a Galaxy S II that is stuck in what it's know to "Reboot Loop". What is concerning is that he is interested to extract photos from the phone before a flash or asking for outside help as they may just flash and remove the photos.

I did some searches and apparently you can do this via Android SDK. If yes, please guide us on how to do.

Please be as as instructive and simple as you can because I don't have access to the phone and have to pass along the information I get from you guys and he's no geek.

Please let me know if there is anything you need to know regarding the matter.e

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
No chance. However, you should be able to recover it by flashing a stock rom, which shouldn't delete his stuff (no 100% guarantees tho). How ? Guide stickied near the top of Q&A has all the info you need (And no, we're not going to regurgitate it in this thread, this would defeat the purpose of having stickied guides).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stein-one:
As MistahBungle mentioned he should try to flash it again. Usually there should be no Data wipe. You can also try rebooting into recovery. Connect your device to the computer and pull everything you need with adb from the device.

hi, i have and xda II with wm 5.0

and i just cant get activesync to work.

at the beginning, it worked, i had office 2003 and as 4.1 (from buzzdev) installed.

then i switched to office 12 beta and it still worked.

after some time, i installed norton 2006.

and some days later, i saw, that activesync was giving me the error code 85010014.

im not sure, if it is because of norton.

i searched and found out that it may be something with exchange servers, but i do not have an exchange server.

then i uninstalled norton.

i didnt work.

i did a hardreset and cleaned the registry and formated the xda II.

i didnt work.

i reinstalled activesync

it didnt work

i reinstalled office 12 beta

it didn work

i uninstalled office 12 beta and installed outlook 2003 + sp2.

it didnt work.

i reinstalled activesync (4.1 from ms homepage)

it didnt work.

i reinstalled and rebooted and deleted the paths of as and office a couple of times, but no luck.

does anyone have any ideas how to solve he problem?

my windows firewall is disabled and i have no other firewalls / av scanners installed atm.

ActivevSync/Calendar Problem

Hi,

I have an XDA IIs - ROM version 1.40.00 WWE - which I had installed

recently. I am having trouble sync-ing my calendar items on my Windows

XP/Office 2003 PC with the XDA. It was all working fine till last week

and now it seems to have stopped working.

Activesync shows the calendar option as disabled. I am able to sync

everthing else including MS Money 2006. Does anyone know what could be

wrong/how to resolve this problem.

[ Between the time I synced my calendar last time and now, I installed

SPB Plus and uninstalled it - I dont know if that could have caused a

problem. It did make my Voice Command 1.5 stop responding and I had to

reinstall ]

Hi guys I have tried to get the stock international note 3 bootanimation along with the stock boot animation sound of the international note 3. I have tried on mine and it works ok. Remember to make a backup copy of the files you will replace in case you something happen or you dont want it.

Directions

1. Unzip the folder

2. Copy the bootsamsung.qmg, bootsamsungloop.qmg, bootsamsungmini.qmg, bootsamsungminiloop.qmg on system/media folder ( Make sure you correct the permission)

3. Copy the PowerOn.ogg on system/media/audio/ui (Make sure the permission is correct)

4. Reboot and no more At&t Crap bootanimation

UPDATE: Added shutdown animation of stock international

1. Unzip the folder

2. Copy the shutdown.qmg to system/media folder Make sure the permission is correct (now on at&t just removed the shutdownloop.qmg not sure if that file is present on t-mo but you can remove it or just transfer it to your sd card)

3. Reboot and you wont have the loop circle animation when you shutdown your device
