[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Rockman195:
flashed twrp and that royally screwed up the phone. opened recovery using twrp and made a back up then did a system wipe and went to install the rom and when I went to do that, the list of all teh files you have to choose from was blank. I could go through different folder levels but the part where it shows the contents was always emtpy. Sometimes I could touch the area and see I portion highlight like it was making a selection but it wouldnt do anything and there was no file name there. Went to restore the backup I made and there was nothing in the list of backups to restore from. Rebooted the phone and liquid smooth 2.37 loaded like a clean flash with none of my info, files, apps, etc so I downloaded rom manger from the playstore and put the latest cwm touch on there. When I went in recovery none of my cwm backups where there or anything so i went to reboot and it only shows the samsung boot screen. Downloaded a few different roms and gapps on my sd card from y computer and put them on the phone and flashed the roms and gapps and still can't get past the boot screen. I'm really open to suggestions on this one.

If it was me, at this point I'd Odin the stock mdl firmware and start all over again. Something's not right with your phone. But it scares me a little since things aren't flashing correctly and there could be something wrong with your internal memory. If memory is bad it could make things worse.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Rockman195:
I think your right. Do you know where I can find the stock firmware and instructions for flashing it? I haven't used Odin in a while.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
You can get the stock firmware at sammobile.com. it's free but you have to register. You'll download a zip file. Use 7-zip to extract the .tar.md5 file from it and use that in Odin, PDA slot. This is a guide that is not for the s4 but the procedure is the same. It has screen shots in it that help. Don't use any files in it though other than odin. Good luck. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=26056924

I haven't read the whole thread, so hopefully these haven't already been covered.

1) Make sure your recovery supports 4.4. Not all of them do. Stay the heck away from TWRP because it's done nothing but suck for Galaxy S4, while it was absolute king for the S3. The wrong recovery can still flash a ROM but that ROM may not work very well.

2) Ensure you do a COMPLETE wipe. As in wipe /system and /data. Make sure your internal SD card is formatted. 4.4 may not use some things & folders that 4.2 and 4.3 did, which might cause problems.

3) If you have an external SD, then make sure 4.4 is using the right path for it to access any important files you may have on it, like apps2sd & such.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Rockman195:
Well since screwing things up with twrp I'm back to having a working phone again. I didn't have to use Odin but I still might just to go back to stock and then try kit kat. I went into cwm recovery and formatted the system then flashed liquidsmooth 2.37 which is what I was running. Everything works fine with that except when I use the rom manager widget to boot into recovery, it goes to the boot screen with booting recovery at the top but doesn't go further. I have to use the 3 button method to get into recovery. The other odd thing is that mms works for me now.

I tried flashing gummy 4.4 again since everything is fine in jb but I still have the same jittery twitchiness. One thing I noticed is that when I go into the performance settings in 4.4 the current cpu reading will jump from 300 mhz to 1200 to 400 to 1800 etc just at idle. Is that normal. My note 10.1 holds steady when it's just sitting there.

To answer your questions, I'm using cwm 6.0.4.4 which is kit kat approved and I formatted and wiped everything before flashing and it didn't change anything. I appreciate your help so far and look forward to more insight.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
The only thing I can think of, if you not already, in cwm:

Factory reset

Wipe cache

Advance, wipe dalvik

Mounts and storage, format system
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Rockman195:
yes I did do that, and it was able to get my phone working again after the twrp incident, but no luck when flashing kit kat roms
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] CPA Poke:
Can you post, step-by-step, your exact process for flashing ROMs? Starting with the exact ROM file you're flashing (a link to the thread you got it from is fine) and ending with the moment you hit "reboot". There HAS to be something you're doing wonky in there somewhere...

For good measure, would you mind also posting a screenshot of your "About Device" screen in Settings?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Rockman195:
I will most certainly do that. How do you take screen shots in this rom? I look forward to your input.

Edit- forgot to mention in currently using liquid smooth 2.37 thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] CPA Poke:
Great, glad you're liking it too!

And you can take a screenshot by holding down the volume down + power buttons at the same time.

Can you also list out the exact files that you're flashing with the ROM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Rockman195:
got the rom here

http://d-h.st/xK6

and the gapps here

http://www.mediafire.com/download/ahbnc2k5u5op501/pa_gapps-full-4.4-20131126-signed.zip

I'm doing a nandroid backup now then I'll try and flash and detail every step I take
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Rockman195:
Alright so here's a full breakdown with pics. Sorry they're a little blurry. I was taking them while holding my 8 month old.

First thing I did, was create, and I thought this was worth mentioning but it always says this at the bottom whenever I back everything

Then I did a factory reset

then wiped the cache

then I wiped the dalvik cache

This next step I don't always do, but lately I'm been formatting the system to see if that will help

With everything wiped I went to flash zip and went to the internal storage and selected the rom

then I flashed super su

and finally gapps

and lastly, I just hit reboot

This time around was just like every other. Twitchy, laggy, completely unusable. Let me know what you're thoughts are thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
Don't flash su. You shouldn't have to do that
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Rockman195:
Most roms you don't, but if you look at the omnirom thread you do. I haven't been flashing su with any other roms like cm or gummy
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
Didn't look that close, thanks.

Edit, I would try flashing without su and let it boot to see if you have problems. You can always flash su later, don't need the wipes just flash it on top of what's already there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Rockman195:
I might agree with you if I havent had this problem across every kit kat rom I've tried. If Omnirom was the only one acting up I'd try that. But when i flash cyanogenmod or gummy I follow the exact same steps, just without flashing su, and I get the same results.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] grahamswagg:
If you can backup your phone, I would suggest using Odin and flashing stock mdl. It's a pain and I've done it more times than I care to remember already (and hate it every time) but I think it helps. Pretty much every problem I've had that isn't directly related to a specific rom has been fixed by this. Heads up though, it takes forever to download stock firmware. I've also tried a couple different recoveries (updated twrp, cwm, etc.) but I keep coming back to casual because that version of twrp never gives me problems and the process is so darn easy. As far as Kit Kat roms go, I've found the Let's Play version to be stable. All customization is through gravitybox, but still. I can't wait for Liquidsmooth though. I loved 2.37 but my camera wouldn't work so I've been waiting for the update.

Hi, just curious to know if anyone has experienced their soft key just randomly stop functioning until a soft reset is performed? The soft keys from the today screen that open up Calendar and Contacts would just stop working all of a sudden usually when the phone is wakened back up from standby(pressing power quickly not turning it completely off). I would appreciate all feedbacks/assistance/solutions.

Regards,

Keith

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Robster:
Hi

Yes I have this problem.

Its ONLY on the today screen.

My buttons do not respond to a screen tap or the buttons themselves.

I only noticed this problem after installing VITO Button mapper.

I have since disaled this app and will remove it totally when the rom upgrade comes out but I don't want to do a hard reset just yet. :(

If you've mapped some hotkeys in TCPMP, they might not work in other applications...

Thanks for everyone's input, I did map the soft keys in TCPMP....so I unmapped the soft key buttons(TCPMP) and so far so good. :D

I am so used to the calendar app from my Samsung SII (E4GT) that I never really used google calendar on my phone and on my N5 it just stinks. On my tablet google calendar is fine and so are the widgets but on the phone not so much. Worst thing is not having a nice month view that lists items instead of just showing colors.

So what is a good alternative? I only use google calendar so I am not syncing with other email services and I have a shared google calendar with the wife so need to keep that in one place.

Also I use Next Launcher 3D with its calendar widget.

My question is: how can I force calendar widget open Pimlical Advanced Calendar/PIM instead pf stock calendar?

The"Clear defaults" in stock calendar is greyed and I can set Pimlical Advanced Calendar/PIM as my default calendar application.

Any hint, please.

I have a few questions if anyone would mind answering them.

1) I have a 16gb phone, 10 gigs used up, and only 2 available. How can I clean up some of that memory? Where are the missing 4 gigs? (I have a 64gb micro SD running 4.4 kitkat Cm11)

2)can I put some of those apps on my SD card? If so how?

3) I read you can set up an extra gig or 2 as extra ram to make your device faster? How do you do that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] masterchiefb117:
If you came from 4.1.x file system and upgrade to a newer one your files are in the 0/ folder. Pretty much your file system may have made duplicate files in the 0/ folder and in sd portion of your memory card. I myself to avoid this by formatting my entire internal sd card so

system

cache

davlik

sd card/media

that way I have a completely formatted storage with no hidden files lingering around.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] celyko:
Is it possible to designate a GB of a phone memory to add extra ram? I read somewhere that can be done
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
1. It is used by /system, /cache, boot, recovery, modem, etc. It's 16GB total, not available. If I had to guess, your space is being taken up by pictures, or games that store everything on /data and /sdcard rather than the external SD.

2. Not that I know of, at least not easily.

3. You can't add RAM. You can add swap, but it will just make your phone slower over time, not faster.

MX Player plays MKV files in SW mode. Even after installing NEON codec, only HW+ works. It's normal for Nexus 7 with S4 Pro?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] god_md5:
if mkv and normal,mp4 is work for both, and this s4 pro + gpu 305 only support mpeg2 480i hw decode....
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] Death666Angel:
Only understood your last part, but that is clearly wrong. It is branded an S4 Pro SoC, but it is an underclock S600 with 1.5GHz Krait300 CPU cores and an Adreno 320 GPU.

To the OP: .mkv files can be anything really, it is just a container. There are limitations to the HW playback of these devices, often times they don't accept anything h.264 above level 4.1. Maybe your encodes are just done for more advanced devices. But if hw+ works, why are you worried?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] Winudert:
I did my own research and yeah, no problems with HW+ for me. Strange thing, btw. If I watch 1080p in SW mode, after 20-30 minutes Nexus 7 is starting to warm up (maybe that way S4 Pro SoC is used way more?). Nothing alike with HW+.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] Death666Angel:
Not surprising at all. Since videos are compressed using specific rules, these rules can be implemented very efficiently in dedicated hardware. Nearly all SoCs in the last few years have some sort of video decoding abilities backed into silicon, which means they can use those very efficient hardware functions to decode your videos. But if your video is encoded in a format just a bit differently (for example h.264 lvl5 instead of lvl 4.1), that hardware cannot deal with it and you have to switch to software, which means the CPU cores get fired up and a software is running on them to decode the video. Using the CPU to decode is the most inefficient way to do it, GPU is slightly more efficient and dedicated hardware is the most efficient way. The flexibility of these methods is the other way around.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] GSLEON3:
Did you modify the Viddec in the media properties xml? There is a guide somewhere. It enabled more HW decoding for me & I do not have any temperature or throttling issues.

I'm a little confused here... Is the outer glass broken or the actual display? If its the digitizer (the outer glass) it can be replaced. There's people in my area who do it so maybe there'll be one in yours as well. Of recommend having someone else do it unless you're very patient and careful. That could be the difference between a 40 and 180 dollar part.
