Yeah definitely not forced, was only joking. But anyways, I'm over that hill already might as well embrace it. Just woke up from a nap. Testing now
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] BBCHAMPs:
Back up and running. Flashed via twrp this time and still no camera. Seems like a certain batch of phones. Wonder if there's anything I'm doing wrong though. Anyways I just figured I'd report back. Really liking the smoothness of this from, just need camera. Thanks !
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] EdKeys:
Are you restoring anything from backup?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] esdwa:
When running root checker, the app stays in a loop saying checking and nothing else happens. I tried different root checkers, same result. Then I installed SuperUser app manually. After this apps like TitaniumBackup or Rom Manager finally started working fine but do not show on the SU app list. Each other app which requires root get access without prompt and still does not show on SU app list. Feels like phone is rooted but there is no way to control apps root access.

Ideas?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] luv4greenleaves:
Go to playstore and download super user app. It will ask u to install binary . You will have root until your next reboot... This is the secure element Samsung introduced which pisses me off.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] BBCHAMPs:
Not at all. 100% clean install. I set it up, enter my accounts and what not and then test camera. Tried both cwm and twrp with nothing. What do u think could be causing this
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] EdKeys:
I'm sorry to say, but it's either user error or you have something wrong with your phone, maybe a sensor. This is a stock Samsung ROM. I did not touch the Camera apps or remove any libs. Getting near to 1000 downloads now of the ROM and this thread would be full of camera complaints if it was the rom. Myself included. If it is in fact something that you are installing you could try going to the apps and themes section, find my camera mod thread and try flashing the add camera mod. It contains the deodexed versions of both cameras.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] esdwa:
Which SU app, there are many? I installed one from ChainSDD but it does not ask to install any binary, just starts with empty list as I described at the beginning.

Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] BBCHAMPs:
Weird because stock Samsung rom the camera works. I'll try different variants of flashing methods that I've used in the past but I'm sure it's deeper than user error. There were a couple other people with the same issues as me and chances are they gave up. Seriously when I say I'm not installing anything, I'm not installing ANYTHINGl

Been running this ROM for a week now as my DD. Solid as a rock. Great work. I flashed the Agni kernel though, as it seems to be working better with my phone. And I have been using some xposed tweaks and customized the way i want. Working wonderfully.

Speaking of xposed - when i am trying to use the Unicon (fka Icon themer) module, it constantly gives me this message. I keep on updating the xposed framework like it says, but everytime i open the Unicon app/module,it brings me to the same message. Any idea why it isn't working?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] EdKeys:
Thanks! Glad it's running great for you with the Agni kernel. As for the Unicon module, it looks like you're running version 1.5. Unfortunately, the developer of that mod no longer updates his thread here at XDA and has taken later versions to the Play Store, for a fee. It may be that you have to upgrade to get it to work correctly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] evo_like:
Actually, that was just an older version I was trying out to see if there is any incompatibility issue or something. I tried out the newest version from the play store, I keep on getting that exact same thing. Its like unicon doesn't recognize the xposed framework. That's why I was wondering if you could think of something. My other xposed mods I am using, are working perfectly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] EdKeys:
You could try clearing the app data for Xposed and that module in applications settings. Leave the others mods alone. Then reboot, place all the checkmarks back in the modules section once again, reinstall/update the Xposed framework and then reboot one more time. Could be some bad data there, or it could be conflicting with another module. Not all modules support TW based roms, so keep that in mind too. Wouldn't know what else to do after that.

I tried all of that as well, unfortunately with same result. Oh well. I'll continue searching. Thanks for your responses and helping out.

Flashed the stock kernel rom following directions to a T. Camera working. Attempting the Devil kernel one now. My question, can u run the devil kernel one while being on EXT4?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] EdKeys:
Yes. Flashing the kernel will format your system to ext4 though and that's why the backup, convert, restore method is necessary for f2fs. The devil kernel in edition 2D will run on either ext4 or f2fs.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] AndroidClone:
I can't install the 2D edition for the life of me. I've downloaded it twice and used the deevil recovery but when I go to install it throws an error 7
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] EdKeys:
What format? F2fs or ext4?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] AndroidClone:
I tried Both! I'm downloading again as I write and about to see if it runs off of twrp

---------- Post added at 06:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:32 AM ----------

This is odd, it's installing with CWM touch no problems!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] EdKeys:
If you want to run f2fs, here's a little shortcut. Download the version at the bottom of the OP and restore it using the devil recovery after you format all 3 partitions to f2fs. Just restore the whole backup and disregard the instructions to restore only the system partition. You'll have no data to get overwritten so you have to restore it all.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] AndroidClone:
Thanks for the tip!

I just did a wipe and factory install on the devil recovery, I get the same status 7 error and will not install. Format expects 5, got 3.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] EdKeys:
You should change recoveries temporarily and get all your partitions reformatted and get rid of those errors while you wait. What rom were you running and what bootloader are you on?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] AndroidClone:
I was on the patched 4.1.2 bootloader 4.3 deknoxed updated. I decided to change roms so I got rid of the patch by doing a stock odin of 4.1.2 and then this rom. I had AOKP running as soon as I ran into a wall with this rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] EdKeys:
Something about that wifi patch and devil kernel. They don't like each other lol. The devil recovery for f2fs is beta and can get wonky. I did a lot of testing developing the rom and had to Odin back to a rooted stock image a couple of times because I lost data. It's worth it though. Once you get up and running on f2fs you won't want to go back to ext4. The write speeds are amazing...very noticeable the way apps snap to attention when you open them.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] AndroidClone:
Thanks for the help! I'm about to do a nandroid restore of the image you pointed out to me. Devil kernel seems to format the partitions to f2f no problem. I'm not sure why error 7 pops up with the devil recovery as clockworkmod touch installed it without a hitch.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] EdKeys:
Post back your results. Interested to see what you think of the new file system.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] AndroidClone:
Will do, I'll give it a test run for a few days! I hope it's stable but I am going to dualboot just to be on the safe side, I have a very important business trip in a day and I can't be without my phone!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] esdwa:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattlowry:
unless you odined to stock (either 4.1.2 or 4.3) you should not have to reroot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] BBCHAMPs:
Keep in mind, devil recovery should not be used for flashing purposes. Only to format to f2fs + nandroid restore.

Flashed the devil kernel infused rom and camera fails again.. Going back to stock and going to flash a kernel on top of it, then upgrade to f2fs.

is it quicker to send it direct or how should i play it?

if its direct has anyone got an address?

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] themez2004:
I have a similar problem. The battery life on my exec is crap. It runs down like 25% at night when it is switched off. I went into the o2 store and they wanted to take the battery away for testing which would take like 28 days. In the meantime they wouldnt supply me with a replacement phone as I hold onto my phone and only hand in the battery. I thought it would be simple to get a replacement. I was wrong.

Hello.

I have a battery problem on my nexus 5. Seems like no matter what I do, my Nexus 5 discharges like it never sleeps. It first occured on Cataclysm with franco r32, I wiped everything and tried Cyanogen, same happened. Now with AOKP and Purity and Sanity - SAME PROBLEM.

What am I missing?

I am using multirom twrp.

Does anyone have any idea?

Thank you
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Unfortunately, as good as some on XDA are at troubleshooting, none of us can see your phone. Or what apps you have. Or battery stats. Or wakelock detection. I think you get the point. Just saying I have bad battery life is absolutely worthless without other details to explain what is going on. I'd suggest looking into the apps: Bettery Battery Stats and / or Wakelock Detector. Both of these, over the course of some time will be able to get you a better idea of what's up, or at least that and some screenshots posted here might be able to provide some more insight. If you can use that to track down some problem areas, it's possible the app Greenify can help hibernate it and keep it from making so much trouble.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miHah:
I would tell you more about apps and wakelocks but the thing is I have been testing those roms i mentioned completely stock. I tried greenify with every rom, gsam reported 23min SOT with 7hours battery life when I checked (at 4% battery). So I tried another rom - I am on Vanir right now.. don't even have google account set up and still experiencing the same drainage.. 30% in 2hours idling..
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Well, you could test till your fingers fall off, but if you don't share your findings, then how could we help you? I'm not saying that I can or can't help, but there are many here with a lot of experience with these issues and a breakdown of your findings might help someone point you in the right direction. Plus if there are other users in your situation, and they see your findings coincide with theirs, then that's more subject material to help troubleshoot. I've flashed dozens of roms and have not experienced anything similar, before or after sync. Not saying I haven't had battery issues, but usually brought upon by myself and playing with kernels and settings. Just haven't had that kind of drain through multiple roms and what not.

[Moto X General] detonation:
I've rooted all my devices since the days of the OG Droid. Up until a year or two ago, root and custom roms were a must have for a lot of useful features, but the dependency on root features has definitely gone down as stock android has advanced.

With the Moto X being mostly stock, and a little harder to root (especially with every OTA) I've been thinking about just going stock and keeping it unrooted when it arrives today.

As of now I use root mainly for just backing up and syncing app data between my phone and tablet (since a lot of apps don't implement google's cloud sync). It appears that Helium works with the Moto X, though that's definitely not as seamless or quick of a process. I also use Greenify but apparently that doesn't need root anymore.

Has anyone else gone down this path? I feel like I might end up missing a lot of things I can't even think of right now.
[Moto X General] compulov:
I just got my MotoMaker yesterday, and I was basically in the same boat. I was initially going to just unlock the bootloader, install TWRP, and install SuperUser, but the Moto site was rejecting my device key. I usually will immediately root a device and install Titanium Backup to install my standard set of apps. I gave up waiting for Moto to update their db and started installing apps without unlocking. Most apps I use don't really store much beyond some basic settings locally, so I just re-downloaded everything I wanted from the Play Store and logged into everything again. The few apps that had locally saved data that I wanted to transfer (games, mostly) I ended up using adb on my computer to backup individually, then used adb to push the apps to the new phone. This worked for most things... some apps don't let you back them up. My biggest concern was Google Authenticator, which I use for a number of websites. For that, I had to cheat. Since my existing phone was already rooted, I used adb to pull the stored secrets database off the phone (which you can't do without root). I found this awesome tool which lets you generate QR codes directly from a Google Authenticator db file, and used that to add the secrets to a freshly installed copy of Authenticator.

In the end, the Moto site finally let me get an unlock code, though I think I've decided to skip that, at least for the time being. Unlocking the device wipes it, and I've got things installed and configured the way I want. I don't see myself wanting to push any non-stock roms to this (I really like the Moto additions). I still want root (mostly for backups, though it does make tweaking the device a bit easier), but I can live without it for now.
[Moto X General] DogzOfWar:
I am the same as you. Traditionally, I always rooted but for the X I've just felt no need. (I was worried about receiving future updates, mostly).

I wrote a guide on backing up and restoring app data to the Moto X without root.

Helium works well for backing up your old devices, but it seems to have trouble for many on restoring the data. That's where my guide comes in, helping lay out the adb commands to finish up.

I will add, though, that after the Lenovo/Moto X announcement, it seems likely that I will root this in the future in case Lenovo drops the ball with delivering future OS updates.
[Moto X General] detonation:
Thanks, forgot about using adb for backup/restore
[Moto X General] goducks3620:
First Andoid I haven't felt the need to root, it's just so stable and smooth. The only reason I can imagine rooting it would be to install Adaway. Didn't realize how many ads there are until now :laugh:
[Moto X General] deathsled:
I have rooted all my previous phones up until the X. I'm still able to enjoy it without the root access.

Usually rooting was necessary to debloat the phone and tune it to a stock like Android experience. Haven't really needed it with the X obviously.

The only thing that bothers me I guess is I didn't realize some of the apps I use had ads....lol

I just want adblocking again.
[Moto X General] nyamoV2:
I was in the same boat before. Flash flash flash... That's all I ever did. Of course it was due to HTC and Samsung. Then with my n4 I went custom kernel and a few mods. The only thing I truly miss root for is ad block but that I can live with out
[Moto X General] kzoodroid:
This is my fifth android phone and the first I didn't root. Finally saw no need to as like you say android has come along way, especially with being able to disable and hide apps you don't want. I have used Helium for backup, it needs to be connected to a PC for the first use and then every time the phone is rebooted, a little bit of a hassle. I also have used mybackup pro since 2010 and it never needed root but doesn't have the option to back up to box or dropbox only their own cloud storage.
[Moto X General] superm1:
Same thing for me. Decided first phone not needing root. Tethering even works out of the box! (XT 1053 on AT&T).

The only catch I had with helium was that I wasn't able to restore google authenticator data. So I manually used an SQL lite tool to extract the keys and just re-enter in a new install of google authenticator.
[Moto X General] SymbioticGenius:
I refuse to limit myself so I got a developers edition. Being one if the first in America with 4.4.2 and being able to fix the exchange email issues beforehand etc are reasons I made sure I had root as an option. However this and my Nexus5 are the first phones that don't have Cyanogen Mod and so far I don't see a need or have a desire to run a different OS.

[Moto X General] msk:
I got my Moto X (at&t version) a couple weeks ago and like you I've always rooted. This time the experience was great out of the box, I just reinstalled everything fresh. I hate seeing tons of folders on my "sdcard" so now I feel like its clean and there is no legacy garbage brought over from my old phone. The only thing I am missing over my old phone (HTC One X) is being able to tether for free.

Also, the Motorola Migrate app is actually pretty good at bring your pics, texts and call logs over to your Moto X.

Can you share a link to this? I need this also!
[Moto X General] compulov:
That's exactly how I felt... I wanted to start clean. I have all my photos uploaded to Google+ via auto backup and I occasionally import them all into Lightroom on my laptop, so that was a non-issue. As for SMS, I've been using SMS Backup+ for a few years now to automatically backup my SMS and call history to my Gmail account. It also makes it easy to search my SMS history if I'm looking for an old message.

The tool I used can be found here: https://github.com/ikonst/authenticator-import

It's basically an html page and some javascripts that you run locally in your browser (no web server needed). I actually want to run this again and save the QR codes either into Lastpasss or an encrypted file or something, just so I have easy access to them in the future.
[Moto X General] eksasol:
I can do lots of things without needing root now thanks to third party apps. There are still essential reasons I need root. Ads blocking and apps permission management mainly and have more to do with security and anti-malware, I purchase my apps so it's not about depriving devs. App Ops will no longer work with Android 4.4.2 without root, I think it's a major mistake by Google. Also Cerberus needs root to exist through factory reset.

But so far I haven't root my Moto X due to warranty, but will eventually. I think the Moto X is very usable without needing root and KitKat with ART performance really help with that.

Just a question about the bootloader on the MotoX. If I unlock it, can I relock it and unlock it later without needing to use the unlock code or run into any trouble?
