[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ROMANTiC KiD:
Dont use vroot. Until some dev can pin point what the chinese root method actually does. And if your on 4.2.2 your ok but once ota to 4.3 then you have knox bootloader meaning you cant downgrade firmwares. It wont stop you from changing kernels and roms. Knox flag just voids your warranty with samsung but if you have insurance with sprint they can care less about it tripped. I updated to 4.3 and tripped the knox amd I havent seen no problems really. Btw please make research this has been talked about lately too much.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] jejb:
Yes, my Knox bit it tripped/set. It is 0x1 on the download screen. Can't view it in recovery. I just used CF Auto Root after going to 4.3. Should be easy to search and find that thread. I'm on the stock rom with tweaks.

Using TWRP recovery, but I've tried several, including Philz and OUDHS. It seems Philz is the flavor of the month, so you might want to go with that just to be safe.

I did not root before taking the OTA. I don't think I'd try it that way. I was rooted, but went back to stock to take the update. If you get back to stock, reset the custom bits on your download screen (triangle away and RTN's seem to do that, but might have to do more than one), recover your apps/data and then take the OTA, it should be the most sure fire method. Then root, custom recovery, nandroid backup and play from there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] epi4gtn:
Thank you, I plan to just use CF-Auto-Root to root the phone. I'm starting to care less about the Knox bit getting tripped.

I came across this post by rawintellect that seems to have everything I'd need out of the phone, rooted/deodexed MK2 with all the bloat removed, BUT it says in the description that the Knox Bootloader is removed *EDIT: After thinking about the statement some more, I think he means the Knox bootloader is NOT included in the rom, but this raises another question, can I install it on a phone WITH the knox bootloader?), so I'm afraid of attempting to flash it because as I understand it, it's impossible to replace the knox bootloader.

Here's the post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48516106

This individual seems to have gotten everything working: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48516106&postcount=88

Do you know if anyone is able to flash Philz through Odin successfully on the MJA/knox bootloader?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] VaderSS:
I took mine back after I took the OTA. I was honest about why I was returning it, that the firmware introduces restrictions and annoying features (I cited the multiple WiFi security warnings in particular) I was not willing to accept, and the independent store I was dealing with gave me an exchange to a new phone with 4.2. I first asked if they could downgrade the phone to 4.2, including the bootloader, they researched that option, finding it impossible.

If they had not given me the exchange, I would have picked a different color and done it that way.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user30000z:
Hello ,

I am using stock rom with root .

I have inconsistency behavior with the "Recent Apps" function (long press on home button) :

Sometimes it show that no recent apps exist, and the list is empty, and after the second try it shows the full list of Recent Apps as expected....

if I try another time (after two seconds!) it show again that no Recent Apps... etc...

Another thing :

Sometimes after holding down the home button to get to the recent apps I'll get the vibration to know that it registered the touch but the recent apps won't open

Is it happens to you too ? Is it LG's bug ??

Thanks.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheTanker23:
I'm on stock unrooted and I'm experiencing the same thing. Also, sometimes after holding down the home button to get to the recent apps I'll get the vibration to know that it registered the touch but the recent apps won't open. This is a huge factor in my decision to root and install a custom room soon. I want that recent apps button instead of having to long press the home button.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user30000z:
Exactly ! this happens to me too. I will add it to the main post.

P.S - I don't know if a custom rom will help with this as I didn't see any custom rom mention that.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Makrilli:
I've had the same problem at least an year on sgs2, sg note, gnex, sgs3 and now on my g2, all have been running aosp, so I doubt a custom rom will help.

Edit: count in also my asus transformer prime. I also think this mainly happens when running heavier apps, like games.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user30000z:
I restarted the phone and the problem has been gone for the meanwhile.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quachhanthanh:
No need a custom ROM, I'm using G2 exposed with my G2 and it work like a charm, not bug at all. U should try this.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user30000z:
I'm not sure about Exposed...

Does Exposed, in any circumstance, could influence OTA update ?

If I will remove Exposed + moduls, will the system return to the beginning state ? with the original APK's and their signatures ?

I'm asking that because G2 is about to get the OTA soon for 4.4 (Kitkat) and I don't want to miss it.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaq1907:
I haven't got recent bug but I have different. I keep apps in 6-7 folders. But when I restart device 2-3 apps in folders change order and folders (3G watchdog and booking). Does it only happen in my device?

Also an unrelated question. Is there any way to disable lockscreen help?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hansip87:
Not lg g2 user but just want to give you info, it is caused by android doing caching for recent apps. It was the same with my razr maxx before and i know it because i have tried to open the android framework too. On a second time then it will give you the actual recent apps.

Hi,

Placed the ROM.zip in sd card and did a full wipe. In my CWM, there is no option to go back, hence rebooted the system to install the ROM after full wipe. My phone got stuck at Sony logo and even unable to access CWM. Please help!

I did the following steps mentioned in the ROM page of XDA to install the custom ROM on my phone.

1. Flash boot.img from .zip via Fastboot ---- LEFT OUT THIS ONLY STEP BY MISTAKE and done the subsequent steps.

2. Enter CWM

3. Make a full wipe:

4. Wipe Data/Factory Reset

5. Wipe Cache

6. Wipe Dalvik Cache

7. format /data (advanced)

8. format /dache (advanced)

9. format /system (advanced)

-Flash ROM. --- YET TO FLASH THE ROM.

I'm unable to access CWM. I can't power off, I can only restart, but getting stuck at Sony logo everytime. It would be very kind if you could help me in getting the phone to work as normal.

Thanks,

Hi guys,

Can someone post the contents of create-partition-uefi.cmd for the SP2 recovery drive. it's under sources. for the US surface pro 2.

thanks
[Microsoft Surface] mattbeau:
Solved!

Solved: I needed to recreate the partitions, I used the create-partition-uefi from http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-system/updatingslipstreaming-surface-pro-recovery-image/a3c2aad5-4011-424e-b180-9330933ab6ce

I then ran the create partition using Diskpart /s create-partition-uefi.cmd

I then followed this guide to recreate my recovery partition and activate it. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh825212.aspx the batch file example helped a lot.

I just tested the image with a refresh.

I hope this helps anyone else with the same problem

I just retired my Blue Angel with WM5, and that had a great way of receiving SMS: The sound and the vibration was there, but it didn't turn on. The WM2003SE version of the BA did, and so does my new Atom. Is it possible to avoid this, or to turn it off again sooner? I don't like to have less then 5 minutes turn off time when I power it up because I do some things that requires that the unit is on while I'm not touching it. NiceStart works for 2003, but not for WM5. Any suggestions would be great!

And that's why it's always a good idea to do a wipe/factory reset when you jump between ROMs or bases (4.2->4.3 etc), but you solved it, so that's great :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 2545:
I do not know if this is rom related or not. I'm on skynote with att note 2. When the phone is password locked, I can hold down the power button to access "device options/reboot options" that allows me to boot into my twrp recovery.

How can i lock/prevent Recovery/Download mode from my locked phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrevankyle:
On a lot of roms you can disable advanced reboot so there will only be the option to reboot. But you can still get into recovery/download with the hardware keys. But i believe you can set a password in twrp so that they cant actually do anything
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sc00bs:
Hi All

I have a problem with the Restricted Profile on Kitkat on my Nexus 7

I have been letting my kids play "Clash of Clans" on my N7, in my wisdom I created restricted profiles for them to play on. They are getting tablets for their Christmas and I want to migrate their games to their new tablets and here begins the problem

To migrate their accounts to the new devices I need to generate a Link Code in Clash of Clans.

To generate the link code I need to have a Google+ account linked to the profile.

The problem I have is that the Android restricted profiles are not able to have a Google+ profile connected to the account.

Have been trying to find out if it is possible to upgrade a restricted profile to a full profile, but this does not seem possible.

Alternatively some way to link a Google+ account to a restricted account, all seems not doable.

Anyone have any other suggestions for a work around on this problem?

Thanks

JohnB
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bugatpt:
I am fairly sure that it isn't possible to upgrade a restricted account.

but...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sc00bs:
Have been thinking about this a bit more, and may have an idea as to how to solve this problem.

Does anyone know if it would be possible for me to copy the "Clash of Clans" data from the restricted profile to a full profile on the device that I could then link to a Google+ account and migrate over to the new device?

JohnB
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hondoslack:
Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I faced a similar dilemma yesterday, that I was able to solve. Root is obviously necessary, but it is possible to "upgrade" a restricted profile. In a nutshell, you need to modify the "/data/system/users/[nn].xml" file, and remove some files from "/data/system/users/[nn]/ folder, where [nn] corresponds to the numeric value of the restricted user.

So, if I remember correctly, this is what I did (I assume you have adb setup, and know your way around that):

adb pull /data/system/users/nn.xml

(replace "nn" with the right number for the user you want to modify; same for below)

Open the file you retrieved in a text editor like Notepad++, that won't mess with the line endings, and change

flags="24"

to

flags="16"

. Delete the contents of

<restrictions />

Save, and upload back to device:

adb push nn.xml /data/system/users/

Now delete some files from the user profile, related to restrictions:

adb shell
su (necessary if you don't see "#")
rm /data/system/users/nn/package-restrictions.xml
rm /data/system/users/nn/res_com.google.android.gms.xml
exit (twice, if you had to "su")
adb reboot

You should now be able to login as the user, and have access as a secondary user. You may need to remove/add some applications if they don't behave, and/or delete cache/data for the Play store and Google Framework. You may also need to remove all the Google accounts attached to the profile, and add them again for Play store to be able to install apps. I was getting errors, which cleared up after doing that.

So after completing the above, I was able to attach my son's CoC to his Google+ profile, and enable transferring it's data to another device, if I want to in the future. I decided to give "Screen Time Parental Control" a go, instead of the frustrating "restricted" profile. So far so good. Not sure yet if I want to shell out the $$ for the dude's Remote Control app, but so far I'm liking it. I think after the 15 day trial, though, I'll be hooked. Anyway, HTH anyone else trying to figure this out.

Edit: Forgot another detail: I did try to copy off the CoC data, and populate it into a new unrestricted profile, "chown"ing the files for the user, etc, for the new account, and it was a miserable fail. I also tried the flags="16" hack, installed Titanium Backup, and backed it up, but the resulting backup was useless. It was unable to be restored in a new profile. This is when I discovered that deleting those 2 files completely unlocked the profile, not just changing the flag, as mentioned on another website.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yysenhimer:
I have this same issue where I m trying to get COC and other data from a Nexus 7 using 4.4.2, Kernal version 3.1.10-g4776c68 and a restricted profile. I am a noob and not familiar with adb. Is it possible to change a restricted profile to unrestricted without rooting? I searched many forums and could not find a solution.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LilacPhoenix:
I'm having a similar problem backing up a different game app on my son's restricted account. How do I find the numeric value for the restricted user account?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yysenhimer:
A restricted account is a separate profile of a main account and cannot have a separate google account or gmail address associated with it. It is not possible to change the status to a regular account. You can set up a new account for your son with a separate gmail address, download the game and contact their support telling them you cannot access your account. Just make sure you copy all of the game ID information for the user so they can search for it. And don't access the game on the restricted device, otherwise it may appear that you are just trying to steal someone's ID.

FEATURES for 4.0+,

At the moment they are slowly adding features. So it is pretty much AOSP at the moment. Very light on resources and basic features.

What has NOT been implemented yet that is normally in Paranoid Android.

Hybrid engine, Per app Layout, this will let you choose the UI of any app, that means you can switch apps into their tablet layouts

Per app Size, scale apps individually, this is especially important if you use tablet apps, go as small or big as you like

Per app Color, this lets you select statusbar and navbar colors for apps individually, colors will shift when you jump from one app to another

Hybrid engine makes it possible to use any tablet ready app available on your phone, start with your regular Google apps and see what treasures lie hidden in them and just how well they work on your device.

You can use hybrid engine to use all available general interface UI's aswell: Phone, Phablet, Tablet. This is safe as milk, we don't change DPI, we don't trash your market, we don't shrink all your apps or force them into layouts, you don't need to edit system files for that.

My Sources have now been pushed to the official Paranoid Android Repo so all version will now be built using there automated system and will have all there features and code on there release cycle

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] deedwar:
I havent tested it much to be honest. If you ever ventured over the Acro S forum you would see my ROMs there and i dont have the problem with offline charging not working or the recovery popping up but that is a different build so these bugs might pop up.

It is a lot harder to test the XS on my XAS because it wont charge for me being a different config and it wont let me see my External SD card which isnt really a big one. But by all means post whatever bugs you find here and i will fix them. There is very little difference between our 2 devices and like i said i can actually flash the ROM without any changes and it actually loads up on my device. That is how i test it i just make sure i have a full battery first.
