What‘s the difference

I'm curious about it
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] mysteryno46:
Is root necessary for it?

It's not any error but I'm getting this while installing prebuiltgmscore file. It says like, "This is a system app, are you sure to install and replace it with previous one." and so on. So, I aborted. I was not sure to proceed. It says it will replace all the data, etc. What actually will it do if I press ok and continue with it? My phone is not rooted yet, and not planning for few months. I'm already using the Kitkat Launcher Theme which give the kitkat Icons and I'm using it with Nova Prime.

I also installed Kitkat Launcher from Nick app from playstore but the App Drawer was very clumsy and did not feel clean, so uninstalled it.

Back to the point, what happens if I install prebuiltgmscore replacing previous and will it require Root?

Thanks XDA Brothers.:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] Snehashish30:
It is the .apk file for the updated playstore...since you already have playstore installed, it asks if you want to replace it...there is no prob if you click ok...you just have an updated playstore on your device...
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] mysteryno46:
Installed Googlehome apk directly ! ! !

It works. I skipped both PrebuiltGmsCore.apk and Velvet.apk and installed google home directly. Everything seems to work good except the widgets and the voice command is not working from the homescreen. I have to tap the top right search button. Any idea about it?

Check the attachment for widget error.:rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] Snehashish30:
The Voice Command 'Ok Google' is supposed to work only on the Nexus 5...and the widgets caused problems initially, but now they work properly...once you drag a widget to the home screen, and click on it they show some msg...ht ok..and it will work...
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] Dooooon:
prebuiltgmscore.apk is actually the new google play service app. If you had updated to the newest version of google play, you can try and error to NOT install the prebuiltgmscore.apk. Report back here if you successful install. If not sucess, just install the new version of google play(prebuiltgmscore.apk).

and Nope, doesn't require ROOT access. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] Dooooon:
You can skip both the apk because of google just rolled up their new update for those app, Google Now n Google Play Service for everyone.

To have the voice command works, just change the languages to English (US), head to MENU >Settings > Voice > Language > English (US).

Try to say, "OK google". If doesn't work, head to MENU >Settings > Voice > Language > Offline speech recognition > and choose English (US) update.

As simple as that ;) Sorry for the late reply though.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kroegerama:
Everytime, I set up a new android device, my first step is to decompile SystemUI.apk, add battery percentage icons and recompile it.

But now I'm facing one big problem: Where are these icons stored in Android 4.4? SystemUI.apk is in priv-app, but it doesn't contain stat_sys_battery.xml, stat_sys_battery_charge.xml and all those stat_sys_battery_xxx.png files.

Anyone here, who has found the apk, which contains these files now?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldfingerfif:
Those files are contained in framework-res now however it is pointless to change as nothing will happen. I tried changing /res/values/arrays.xml

<integer-array name="batterymeter_color_levels"> and <array name="batterymeter_color_values"> but it does nothing either.

Look at /res/layout/status_bar.xml

<LinearLayout android:gravity="center" android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/signal_battery_cluster" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:paddingStart="2.0dip">

<include android:id="@id/signal_cluster" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" layout="@layout/signal_cluster_view" />

[B]<com.android.systemui.BatteryMeterView android:id="@id/battery" android:layout_width="10.5dip" android:layout_height="16.0dip" android:layout_marginBottom="2.0px" android:layout_marginStart="4.0dip" />
[/B]
</LinearLayout>

I uploaded BatteryMeterView.java using dextojar but I think I'll have to download the 4.4 source to really understand the battery icon I think.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killer2239:
You would think Google would have built this option into Android by now.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dagaetch:
they probably don't want people monitoring the percentage drop minute to minute.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeyhuab:
It's already embedded in the BatteryMeterView.smali
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kroegerama:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petard:

Another one I'm surprised STILL isn't in AOSP is the button you can press when changing volume to reveal all the other volume sliders. I use it ALL THE TIME on custom AOSP ROMs and even on (ugh) TouchWiz.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lelez84:
no way to have the percentage battery icon?

it's terrible for me :(
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dirk64:
There is a way, it takes a little more time since it isn't so simple than in 4.3. Trying for 2 days now. It's just more than simply changing xml and icons.

Just one question, forgiveness,

but you will make a flashable zip from recovery?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dirk64:
I try and I think I'm not the only one. Maybe it would be great if ideas would be shared here. I've got a very bad internet connection and downloading the source code takes two days...

Sent from Google N5...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldfingerfif:
Yes it has been tough, I think I need to download the the source to really understand it, been tough mainly looking at the dalvik vm code or it converted to java with jdgui. I am not sure why it doesn't show up, looks like the phone needs to be in some test mode or demo mode. I started looking at the quick tile code since it has the percent below it and also a BatteryMeterView; however, the percentage is displayed through a text view.

Thinking I can make it a relative layout in the in the xml and then port the code to status bar icon for it to show or even change it to the way it was displayed on 4.3 and before.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dirk64:
Yes, I've seen the code in Smalis but I don't even understand why the stat_sys_battery and stat_sys_battery_charge.xml and icons are in the framework-res.apk and there must be some reason why.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldfingerfif:
I'm at work right now and don't have much time to look at it but here is the source from the Android 4.4 github. Much easier to understand, and will hopefully get time to go over it in about 6-7 hours when I go home. So I uploaded it for others incase you're on windows and cannot "git" things easily.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kroegerama:
I think, the magic happens in this line (BatteryMeterView.java, Line 190):

mShowPercent = ENABLE_PERCENT && 0 != Settings.System.getInt(context.getContentResolver(), "status_bar_show_battery_percent", 0);

Is there any way to set the system-variable "status_bar_show_battery_percent" to true?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SmiLey497:
Maybe change the 0 to a 1
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kroegerama:
Ok, figured it out. Will upload an app in a few minutes.

Edit: The problem is, that the text will be white. So you can see it only, if the battery is empty enough. Can't change this, because of line 208:

mTextPaint.setColor(0xFFFFFFFF);

Just install my App and click on "Enable Battery Percent". Then reboot.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidRaven:
do you guys think it'll be possible to somehow make the percentage stand out by different color?

Or is that not possible?

Hi, just as the title says, I reset the binary counter from 9 to 0, and in the triangle away app it says exactly that, but then when i check in settings>about device, it shows custom status. And i cant update my phone over the air.

Any fixes?

thanks, much appreciated.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robismyname:
Did you flash you're stock firmware, from www.sammobile.com ? , resetting the counter is one part, you have to put in stock firmware, if you want to update you're phone and from sammobile you can download a ready 4.3, which you can flash through odin and will get you're phone to 4.3 automatically. If you do this, you're phone will get into a bootloop, go into recovery mode, wipe cache, and to be on the safe side factory data reset (vol up + home + power)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] habz1234:
i already have the latest version installed on my phone, and there isnt any newer versions on the sammobile.com website.

what should i do? should i overwrite the current firmware with the same one? and if i do this will be able to get newer version updated through OTA?

thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robismyname:
Yes you should, re-download the firmware from sammobile , download an italy one, or you're country's. Flash it , I hope you don't trigger KNOX though, or you're warranty will be voided.

Had decided that I want to encrypt my entire phone along with encrypting the external SD card on my GS4.

I have a few questions on this before proceeding.

1. Will I have to encrypt the entire device itself first before encrypting the external SD card?

2. And I heard that after encrypting the whole phone or device, it cannot be decrypted. Is this true?

If so, then will a Factory Reset be able to restore the phone to a Decrypted state again?

Thanks in advance

Hello everybody I'm really frustrated, and I don't know what to do anymore.

My dad bought me a Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 and the seller assured him It's SIM Free.

After he brought it back to Israel there was no Hebrew so I rooted the device and installed a custom firmware.

Now I find out that it wants's an Network PIN, After some thought I decided to pay the 25$ to Cellunlocker I received the code, And unfortunately it didn't work.

Oh and I saw a guide that you can unlock it through the Service Menu, but I couldn't reach it after the Back and Input 1.

At this moment I'm hopeless and want to threw away the phone, Any suggestions?:(

P.S I tried to put different SIM from other carrier but all the same.

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmakar:
I have 2 year old Touchpad that was running Android 4.2.2 and tried to update to 4.3.1 and trashed it. I was running CM 7, upgraded to 9, then 10, then 10.1. I did everything to try and salvage it and read every article possible with NO luck.

SO, I decide to use Acme Uninstaller to remove it, but had issues seeing the Partition and it wanted to FORMAT - I did NOT FORMAT because everyone said not to.

SO then I did a factory reset on the Touchpad and erased it. This worked and allowed me to try and get back to CM 10.2.

The problem is that I cannot find a single installation method that shows the simplest steps to install CM10.2 ( Android 4.3 ) without having to install older version of CM9, or CM10.

I have tried every possible article and method and so far here is what I am stuck with.

I can install CM9 with Moboot BUT CWM and TWRP will not install so I cannot update GAPS.

I erased and then tried using the TAILOR Web OS app to increase the OS partitions from 400mb to 600 mb and that installed fine.

Then I installed CM 10 using ACMEInstaller 3 and it boot loops.

Then I tried CM 10.2 using ACMEinstaller3 and it will not install and says the package is invalid.

It seems like something do to with the partitions and that is why I cannot installed CWM, TWRP or GAPS or even an update.

The only thing I have NOT done is use WEB OS Dr. because I thought this is for when WEB OS is trashed.

I know this seems like a re-post but it really isnt

IF anyone has a simple document that details exactly how a Touchpad should be correctly erased and then install a fresh CM10.2, I would really appreciated it.

There just does not seem to be any articles or you tube videos that show this processes.

I am sure there are a lot of people that would benefit from a guide for CM9, CM10 or CM.2 by doing a complete erase and start over.

I have started writing my own documents but of course I cannot finish it.

Please help and point me in the correct direction because I am stuck with only WEB OS.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamdestruktor:
I too am having a confusing time with my TP. I've tried a few ROMs and I just want to basically erase everything and install a single, fresh new ROM. I haven't touched my TP in quite a while so i've forgotten all the confusing steps it took to originally root it. Some guidance would be great.

Finally have CM 10.2 / Android 4.3.1 installed

I wanted to let you know that I was FINALLY able to get a fresh install of CM 10.2 / Android 4.3.1 installed using the NEW ACMEInstaller 5 T.

I also used the ACMEUNINSTALL2 that was re-posted.

So I plan on Factory wiping my Touchpad so that I can document the process from beginning to end and if it works, then I will post my instructions.

Of course I make no guarantees like everyone else states, but I am following pieces and parts of what everyone else posts and just trying to make a simpler guide. There are lots of guides but nothing that seems to work at all for me and lots of other people are saying the same thing.

It can toggle 3G on when you enabled mobile data and switch back to 2G when you disabled it.

Even it can switch to 2G automatically when screen is off..
