Kit Kat question- do you have to return back to stock to get the update? I still have the Odin files just in case.

In my S3 I really like the Kit Kang JB 4, is there a compliment to that one. I'm not a huge modifier and was quite happy on my last S4 with the exposed framework set of programs. The one thing I miss is that lock screen circle of icons.

Thanks[/QUOTE]

Guys thanks for the responses. Can you please answer, if possible, the questions I re-pasted above. My main concern is if I have to return to stock for the Kit Kat upgrade

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] riker147:
When it becomes available, yes, you most likely will have to return to stock everything.

Yes if you want to take the ota from Verizon to get kit Kat you'll need to be on stock. You'd have to remove xposed and get your phone all bloated back up for Verizon to allow the update. Most times it can be easier just to use Odin and get it back to stock. That's just my opinion.

Sounds like the plan. Thanks!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
If you're OK with just stock and xposed then you'll be good as I said before you're replacement s4 is most likely going to come with the updated bootloader that won't allow you run any AOSP roms.

Hi there

I've got a quick question: Right now I'm using Franco's Kernel with the stock 4.4.2 ROM. I also want to test experimentalX (i heard it's a tad snappier). Is it correct that instead of flashing from Franco directly to experimentalX, I install the stock kernel again with TWRP. After that i can flash to experimentalX.

I also use Xposed with a few modules. Is that going to be a problem?

Cheers!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plethorahil:
Yes You can directly flash experimental X from FRANCO kernel ...

Try yourself and tell us whether it gives a problem or not ?!!! :sly:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2mnyshp:
ok thanks! I'll try it this evening
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] memnoc:
You can be sure about flashing the stock boot.img first simply looking at the zip of your already installed kernel.. If the zip includes boot.img file you should flash the stock boot.img first, then your new custom kernel.

if the zip just includes kernel.img then you can flash your custom kernel over it safely.

Xposed isn't related to the kernel flashing, it won't cause any issue

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hammer_Of_The_Gods:
Hi,

Have you read the OP of ElementalX kernel?

With Francisco's kernel some system files are modified so better is to dirty flash your rom or at least the stock kernel before...

Just in case for the stock kernel: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2518816.

:)

EDIT: too late... :D
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2mnyshp:
OK, that's the way I would've done it; I put the stock kernal zip on my phone, flash that with TWRP and after that flash ElementalX. I'm not sure about the dirty stock rom flash: Can i just extract the system.img from the official android hammerhead download, put the img on my phone and flash that over my current rom?

Sorry for these trivial questions but the answers to such topics in other threads are sometimes a bit unclear.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hammer_Of_The_Gods:
Re,

If you have already flashed the stock kernel (so the boot.img) it should be enough... But Francisco's kernel rename some system files like /system/lib/hw/power.msm8974.so or /system/bin/thermal-engine-hh so with a dirty flash of your current rom all the files are replaced (and you won't loose anything, just wipe Dalvik cache and cache partition, just in case then reflash your rom).

Check if the files I mentioned don't have a .bak extension (with a file explorer follow the path above), if not all is fine. If yes, and if you are convenient, delete the .bak extension by yourself.

If you are not convenient with this (I mean delete some extension in system files), dirty flash your rom, reboot (as always just in case, to be sure, etc...), flash your new kernel... And you're good to go!

:)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2mnyshp:
Thanks! And for the dirty flash i can use the System.img which i extracted with TWRP after i cleaned the dalvic cache, right?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hammer_Of_The_Gods:
Re

I don't understand what you mean here, you are on full stock rom? You have not flashed a rom from a zip file?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2mnyshp:
yes, stock 4.4.2 only with a custom kernel (franco's as of now)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hammer_Of_The_Gods:
Yes, or at least just take a look at the files I mentioned following the path with a file explorer to see is there is still not the .bak extension. And after flashed ElemantalX kernel, obviously.

As far as I know it should be the only modified system files, I mean renamed since in Francisco's kernel they are not used, that "could" caused issues...

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChriZ90:
Hello Guys,

first of all I want to say "Hello" to this great forum since I am "new" here now. :)

This forum helped me alot to gain Root-Access to my Android-Smartphones I had.

But now I've got a question/problem which I couldn't find in this forum.

I gained root access to my HTC One when it was still on Android 4.2. As I am a beginner to this it was not easy at all, even with the Toolkit. The most annoying part I think was to wipe my complete data including sms, pictures, music and app-data. Saving all this with Titanium Backup and restore it again was really time-killing.

So I unlocked the Bootloader, set the CID to Germany (since I was on an T-Mobile CID), set S-Off and gained root access. After that I flashed the stock recovery again to receive OTA-Updates. Updating to Android 4.3. my root was lost and until now I was to lazy to regain it (because of all that trouble).

My question now is: can I regain root without flashing a custom recovery before? So that I wouldn't have to backup all my data and restore it with flashing a custom recovery. I know that there is this "Superboot"-method (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2190395), but it seems that it doesn't work on Hboot 1.54 anymore.

I really would appreciate it if you would know any method :)

Greetings Chris
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChriZ90:
ANSWER

So I figured out a solution which does it perfectly for me.

I found out that flashing a recovery won't wipe anything.

So my solution was simply to flash a custom recovery, push the su-binary to the phone, complete the root process and when done I flashed the stock recovery again which I could find after I googled a little bit. No data was lost during the process. Everything was still fine and the phone seems "untouched" after booting it again.

Hope this could help someone.

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ganglion5:
I tried to do a search about this, but nothing came up. For some reason, whenever I tried to open my Windows folder using Resco, it takes about 8-10 seconds before it opens up. I don't know what program I've installed that can be causing this. In fact, I even hard resetted and restored using one of my latest backups. The folder opens up normally and quickly, but then a few syncs later, it goes back to taking 8 sec to open the folder (so, only the Windows is affected). I'm thinking maybe it's some dll file that resco or the built-in file explorer are trying to read, but just a conjecture. Please advise if you have any suggestions.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] faria:
is resco installed in the main memory or storage card?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] vijay555:
Opening the windows folder is always slow - it has to gather info on every file, from ROM (which is slow anyway) and then gather icons for every .exe. Disable showing icons for rom files in your settings (I use gsfinder, but I'm sure Resco does this too).

V
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ganglion5:
I have resco installed in the main memory. I can try disabling the icon display. The only thing disappointing here is it was opening the Windows folder fine, until suddenly it slowed down (overnight). I tried to figure out what program I installed in the interim, but couldn't find anything. This has happened before, but was corrected with a previous backup restored. Then happened again after a few weeks. I just wish there is an answer, instead of me blaming it on software incompatibility. B/c if that's the case, I have to be careful about installing every program in the future. And with WM5, you can't always uninstall programs cleanly.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] elfsi:
One way - overclock your PDA.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ganglion5:
Speaking of overclock. Where can I find the omap overclocker? Excuse my ignorance, but I did a search on the net, it links from one site to another, but I can never find the actual site for the download. Does anyone know?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] srmz:
I too have noticed this problem with opening the Windows folder. I have the following observations:

1: Normally when I tap the windows folder it opens up before the spinning coloured wheel has completed one full turn.

2: When the slow down occurs it takes about 4 spins of the colured wheel before the windows folder opens up.

3: Once the slow down has occurred it can be noticed both in Resco file explorer as well as the original windows file explorer.

4: I have noticed that this slow down in opening the Windows folder is also accompanied with a slow down of the boot up time. In my case when things are working nromally a boot up takes 1 Minute and 30 Seconds. (this is the time between when I press the reset button to the time when the today screen has fully redrawn). Once the problem has occurred the boot time increased to 2 Minute and 5 seconds.

5: In my case this problem has occurrred most of the time when I have installed a new software after installing NetFront 3.3. In my case the solution that has worked is to uninstall Netfront 3.3 and then again reinstall it. In other words if I install any new software I first have to remove Netfront 3.3, install the new software and then reinstall Netfront 3.3.

By the way my device is an i-mate Jasjar but the observations are quite similar to the prophet.

Kind Regards
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] aleksandr:
same here guys.. It is obvious that slow down accure after active sync or new application install. Then it makes me think it has to do with registry modification, once windows folder has been modified? Forgive me my ignorance, I’m not a programmer.. And this is just observation in an effort to find a couse and solution. Any ideas? Anybody? Cuz this is really getting on my nerves. This prophet is disappointing me a big time I have magician and prophet and when I compare two phones, with prophet over clocked to 240 (this is optimal speed before it crashes) and magician with its normal speed, both phones have same applications running and the difference is like driving the porche and old opel! Where magician is a porche! I can watch high quality, full 600 mb movie on magician without a flinch! And prophet is barely moving!! I got to tell you, I love the design and everything, but by putting an OMAP processor with WM 5 (which is slow as it is) HTC really screwed up! First they try to make a PDA out of phone, and then they are taking it back from PDA to a phone.. I’m selling it I guess Atom is the next thing for me. It’s just to darn expensive 
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ganglion5:
Smrz, I think you pretty much hit it on the nose with netfront. I noticed that on my old dopod 818pro and now the jamin, the slow down occurred after netfront was installed. But I dismissed that it was due to netfront b/c I think I reinstalled it, and then it was back to normal. But I didn't think about netfront causing a conflict only IF YOU INSTALL NEW APPLICATIONS. I think I'll try reinstalling netfront again, and see if it works. What's frustrating with wm5 is I can't cleanly uninstall applications anymore. Is this unique to my machine, to prophet, or to WM5 in general. Everytime I uninstall, it says it can't do it, but it'll remove the application name from the Add/Remove menu. Meanwhile, I have to go delete the folder in program files manually. And who knows what happened to my registry and dll files during all this. BTW, anyone know where I can get that overclocker?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] KOPRajs:
Windows folder

Hi,

any solution found to this problem? My normal time of opening the Windows folder is about 4 secs. After installing of any application which copies its files to Windows folder the time grows. I've tried to uninstall the application, the files are gone, free space is as before, number of files in Windows folder is the same as before, but the slowdown persists.

After installing Manila 2D for example my Windows folder takes up to 40 secs to open and everything slowed down (boot, opening apps from Windows).

Anything I can think of now is maybe a filesystem problem? (\Windows inode corrupted somehow, probably relayed to the fact that it is linked to ROM files)

P.S. I have SPV M3100 (TyTN) with WM6.

Thanks for any advice except hard reset :-)

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kompressor81:
Hi

New here so sorry my first post is a question but I have an issue with no obvious (possible?) solution so any help is much appreciated.

Earlier today I went to use my nexus 4 and found myself unable to enter my pin to unlock the device. Various areas of the touchscreen have become mostly unresponsive, especially where the number 5 is which is not responding at all. I am totally at a loss as to how this has happened as the alarm on the phone woke me this morning and I was able to disable it without issue and it was working perfectly last night. It has not been dropped, had anything spilled on it etc. so this problem has no obvious cause.

I was able to restore a nandroid backup I had made last week with the Nexus Root Toolkit but this has made no difference, the touchscreen is almost totally unusable when I boot into the TWRP recovery.

My first question is, is it possible to use my pc (via some software or something) connected via usb cable to enter the pin to unlock my phone as without being able to unlock the device after it has booted its storage is not visible in windows explorer.

My second question is what can I do about the touchscreen if any of the few probably useless ideas I have (flashing stock etc.) don't fix the problem? Is it possible for this sort of hardware issue to be replaced?

Thanks

PS Just wanna say a big thank you to many of the members of this forum for all the excellent work they do investigating and developing the many apps, tools and other things that have been produced, it's certainly made owning my nexus more enjoyable than it perhaps could have been.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kompressor81:
Don't know how I managed to miss so many posts with roughly the same problem.

Anyway, definitely not a software issue which I think means I need to replace the digitizer, thankfully it's nowhere near as expensive as I expected.
