Ok, u need to flash it again. 1. Standard repacked with odin, 2. TWRP with odin 3. Kernel via twrp 4.Full-/ Slim deodexed via twrp. There is no need for cf-autoroot. Root comes from installing kernel (oc/non-oc). DeHawks kernel is much better than standard. Use it. U flash kernel with twrp and u don´t lose anything with it. It doesen´t need wipe. And yes deodexed is a lot better than odex. from differend world.

and most important: u need (be already) DeHawk´s kernels right version before u can flash full-/slim deodexed. This is by far the best rom that u can get to our phone. In it´s own legue...
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] mandroid717:
Yes I was aware the insecure kernel gave root. I wanted to run standard repack to see how it worked. Worked great so kept it. Needed a few rooted apps so rooted it. Was hoping to upgrade without reinstalling repack.

GRRRRRR so these are my steps

1. Boot into download mode install DOK2 repack with odin 3.10.7. Let phone boot. turn off remove battery.

2. Boot into download mode install twrp 2.8.7.0 with odin 3.0.7. Let phone boot. turn off remove battery.

3. boot to recovery wipe dalvik/system/cache install dok2oc kernel then dok2 slim deodexed rom. twrp asks me to install root and i do.

4. reboot to samsung 19506 screen and hangs.

dok2 repacked runs great on the phone by itself.

what am i doing wrong?

So let's see. Follow these steps, don't do anything else and you will be fine

1. Pull out your battery for few minutes

2. go straight to download mode, use Odin 3.10 and install DOK2 repacked

3.unplug phone, leave it load it everything.

3. Turn it off, download mode and install TWRP.

4.Reboot to twrp, flash DOK2 OC kernel and reboot.

5.finally flash in twrp DOK2 OC SLIM room and reboot again and wait until system will load everything.

Don't wipe anything during the steps.

Edit: correction
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] same-xx:
Do not wipe between flashes. Only wipe or factory settings after standard. If you wipe between twrp flashes you wipe what you are flashing. And if you wipe after installing standard, you must boot the phone before you flash anything. [MENTION=3069618]siteguest[/MENTION]: of course you can install xposed. Use arter's version.

Hi.

So as the title of this thread says, I have a rooted phone. But I'm trying to backup installed app and I can't do that. Meaning, I have to grant root access for this backing up app.

How? Do I need to install anything else?

Yes I'm very busy and therefore I've not had time to answer questions here in the thread.

Had to stay in bed for four days over new year, and now just to much to do at work.

And as you probably can figure out, this damn border-control hasn’t made my life easier...

Regarding Sammy Account; It's already present in the removed apps XXUDOK1 section.

Information:

Please note; I can't offer help/support with exposed framework! - I'm not using it myself. - You should ask the developer.

Exposed makes a lot of changes on your phone, some good things but also bad things.

Problems I read about here are all related to exposed framework if installed.

I've now been running my released OC XXUDOK2 kernel and SLIM XXUDOK2 De-Odexed system since released and have not faced one single problem.

I find the XXUDOK2 battery life very very good, actually the best ever.

Not one single reboot or forced closed and when it happens, it's usually a problem with the installed app.

DeHAWK can you please tell me why there is a script error when trying to flash your insecure kernel for kitkat rom? I tried with every recovery and error is still there...
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] same-xx:
This may be stupid answer, but have u downgraded your rom properly? That every number is match? Roms version need to match kernels. And you need to use twrp 2.8.5.0. And in twrp settings must be md5 check off. And when u install 4.4.2 with odin make the battery pull trick. Most Important: U need to follow 4.4.2 flashing guide to the letter. The whole thing from the 1 page. Don't use 3.0.7 higher odin.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] schjor:
I didn't try twrp 2.8.5.0, only 2.8.7.0...will try and report back! Thanks for the tip!

And hey u need install first cf-autoroot for right vetsion, then deodexed (slim or full) then insecure kernel.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] schjor:
Yes, but it says in 4.4.2 section of this topic that there is no need for cf-autoroot if you are installing insecure kernel...
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] same-xx:
Insecure kernels for GT-I9506 running 4.4.2.*

ATTENTION!*- If you want to use my insecure kernel, you MUST flash the De-Odexed firmware*BEFORE*the insecure kernel.

This is because the kernel flash copies some needed files that otherwise will be deleted when flashing the De-Odexed firmware.

If you don't need De-Odexed, don't care about this.*

If you decide to flash my insecure kernel; no need to flash any kind of CF-AutoRoot or my own AutoRoot version.

Flashing an insecure kernel is quite easy, should be done by using your custom recovery. I don't think this needs more explanation since all of you knows how to flash a .zip file in your custom recovery. I recommend usingTWRP*and clearing of the Dalvik-Cache and Cache after flashing the insecure kernel.

My insecure kernel will set SE-Android to Permissive mode but also root your phone, install Busybox and remove instances of KNOX if present.

Sorry remembered wrong. Hop this helps.

But read the first page, there is everything. And I will help if you need.

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Hey bro

I've now, after reading your post, checked my Kernel Adiutor settings and made some adjustments.

Then I turned OFF the phone during the night. Phone has been off for about 12 hours.

I'm running latest Kernel Adiutor version, just like you.

When turning on phone today, everything was exactly as I left it yesterday, nothing has changed brother.

Have you been playing with different kernel apps at the same time, because this will cause problems.

I saw a similar behaviour when I made some tests on KTweaker.

Hope this helps bro.

DeHAWK.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] same-xx:
Bro I haven't been testing other kernel apps. Problem appear after reebooting. And if I set cpu settings to reeboot and reboot I can't set max cpu mhz. So now I need to keep cpu setting without applying in reboot. That seems to help with the problem.

But this is a camera app. I am looking for camcorder app.

FV-5 has absolutely no competition when it comes to the quantity of possible adjustments to the picture quality and live monitoring of levels. It allows you to make your simple smartphone almost a pro device.

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DonAndress:
[MENTION=5195692]same-xx[/MENTION] thanks for the link.

I know this workaround. But this is for a different issue. This is when your phone records with a very quiet or a very distorted sound. It has nothing to do with codecs.

And please don't put any effort to searching for a camcorder app for me :) I have Open Camera which records in aac, so it's good. It's just Open Camera is not as advanced, that's all.

So if you can't provide a proper version of Cinema FV-5 where aac is available, it's not worth wasting time. But anyway thanks a lot, mate! :)

Did you plug headphones? Hey, it's something to do with audio codecs in your phone. I think Because u have had cm installed, your audio codecs are not ok, because cm take´s things little easier so there are not so many codecs in cm. And just standard tw install and factory reset won´t get them back. That´s why in cm haves usually a terrible sound. This goes so off topic, but I think how to repair it, but let's do it with private messages,ok?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DonAndress:
But this should be default. People have it after rom installation. Hell, even I have it in Open Camera, so the codec is there and it's working fine.

You can also try to install mx audio codec from playstore. But the only way to get codecs back is install music programs what includes audio codecs. Not by flashing rom. Rom flashing you can only overwrite already existing codecs
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] same-xx:
Check from root/etc following files: media_codecs.xml, media_codecs_google_audio.xml, media_profiles.xml. If those are present, it´s not a flashing problem.

That is how it should be. Notifications stay until you clear them. It's safety feature. So you won't forget. There are some settins, like in xposed how long those stay on.
