I am not sure what you are trying to do, get bigger forum posts count? You ain't helping by a single bit, if you would have tried Motorola's 3D Circles widget you wouldn't be linking this ****ty UWWC skin. OP is asking how to get 3D Circles to work on KitKat, not if there are any alternatives, can you see the difference? Even if you are developer of this ****ty skin, please stop posting it in every topic, just use your signature bar for advertising then, you are really annoying guy -.-.

@OP: You can grab stock Launcher and Circles apks from stock ROM and push them into your KitKat or w/e (well it's a little bit more than just Launcher and Circles) you can check this "port" out: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2414916

Also I recommend checking page 7 of that topic for new circles from XT1080 that are working pretty flawless on my XT926.
[RAZR HD Themes and Apps] Flayzor:
Also there is a CM11 "port" of circles that you can find here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=49755539 but nevertheless you still need to use Motorola's launcher (either from Razr M, Razr HD, Ultra/Maxx, etc) to be able to use the Circles widget.

Looking for rooting options. See SGH-T889 mentioned, but dont know if the "V" matters that much. So I was wondering if it is the same for rooting purposes?

Also, if anyone knows a good and proven root guide for this model, that'd be great(ly appreciated).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] cr2069:
Not much difference

For rooting, they are pretty much the same. Which system version you are on? My T889v is on WindMobile's official 4.3 ROM, I used CF-Auto-Root to do it. But I have to use the file for N7100 to root successfully. That might be the easiest way to root. Here is what I did:

Downloading and install CF_Auto-Root: http://download.chainfire.eu/264/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-t03g-gtn7100.zip

Go to market to update/install Super User

Disable Knox if it asks

After this, your phone is rooted.

Another easy way is to just flash the rooted-knox free stock rom.

Note: Knox counter will be tripped which might void your device warranty.

Help Guys, i accepted an update from CyanogenMod and play store does not respond now, i got so frustrated with it i uninstalled the play store (proper noob eh)

Is there anyway i can 'undo' the update?

cheers
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adam_ky:
Which version did u update from and what to?

More than likely, you will need a different version of google apps. To do this you will have to flash from the cwm recovery once you hasve the right gaps. Also i would highly recomend a factory restore in settings afterword. I always factory restore after an update if going from one vrrsion to annother and not a fresh install
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2092952:
Did you try reinstalling the play store -> http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...-play-store-activity-iap-indicators-and-more/

Download .apk and install from cm file manager in the apps list. You'll need to enable settings -> security -> unknown sources before installing.

Perhaps it will work after that.

Or you can reboot into recovery and flash the gapps again. Flash gapps for the version of cm you use.

Otherwise, you should make full backups in the recovery before installing an update so you can roll right back.

Or you can wipe and do a clean install.

I've never tried installing an older update but if you want to see if that works or crashes and burns then there's an option too. That won't bring back play store though

So, I have the i545-vruamdk S4 and I want to update the device to Jellybean 4.3. The device is not rooted. I cannot update OTA or through Kies. I have been told to unlock the bootloader, but I don't know how. I don't really want to root or anything of the sort. I do want 4.3, though. Nothing special, just the regular Jellybean 4.3. Can anyone help me?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Terri M:
Have you thought about doing a factory reset, and then try taking the OTA? Once you factory reset, don't sign into your Google account, and as soon as you get to the main screen go to Settings > Account > Backup and reset. Then try taking the OTA.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
You have a GS4 that can have the bootloader unlocked and a custom recovery, custom kernel, and a custom ROM installed.

It's a pretty easy thing to install a 4.3 ROM onto your phone without losing those unique features. There's lots of us that are stuck with bootloader locked phones that would be happy to swap with you.

If you refuse to root it to install a 4.3 ROM, then you're killing 100 puppies and 100 kittens. Just take the OTA, destroy the unique value of your phone. Sad..

Did I mention that having a MDK phone is valued? :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Terranatix:
How will doing a factory reset enable the OTA to work? It doesn't work now and I haven't done much but download some apps and chat up some people. Thanks for helping in advance

Lmao I didn't know all this. Does taking the OTA mean that I cannot have all the customs I can now? Could you explain to me how I can install the rom, preferably without losing the features or the data currently on it?

Also, I bought this phone for less than the usual price. So how valued is it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
The usual reason that OTAs won't take is that something has designated your phone as "Custom" status.

The other reason is that you don't have a standard phone - it's a developer edition.

Here's how to tell. Settings/More/About Phone. What's in the "Build number"? If it's OYUAMDK (hope I remembered that right), it's a developer edition phone. You won't get OTA offers since Verizon doesn't build updates for that device. Put that on Swappa saying that it's a developer edition and you'll easily get several hundred bucks for it.

If it's a VRUEMDK (again, from memory - what's important is that the build number starts with "V"), then it's a normal phone.

What does Settings/More/About phone/Status say in "Device Status"? You won't be offered OTAs unless it's "Official".
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] xXKa0sRa1nsXx:
This is odd, but try this:

Make sure all your stuff is backed up with your Google account. Anything on your SD-Card (external) will not be touched. Turn your phone off.

Then:

- Hold the Power + Volume Up button until your screen turns on

- Even if the logo bot logo doesn't immediately come up, release the Power Button (Still holding Volume Up)

- The top Left of the Boot logo should say "Recovery Booting..."

- Once the Recovery boots and you see options, use the Volume Keys and scroll to 'Data/Factory Reset' and Press the Power Button to confirm

- Click 'Yes', and then once that's finished Click 'Wipe Cache Partition' and Click 'Yes...'

- Click 'Reboot'

- The phone could take up to 5 -10 minutes to boot, please be patient.

- Once it boots, skip through the setup, you can add everything later.

-Immediately Go into Settings and attempt to Update it (OTA first, then try this again but use Kies).

If that doesn't work, let me know. :D

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Terranatix:
Device Status does say "Official" and the last seven letters to my build number are VRUAMDK. I have not done anything to customize the phone aside from a launcher, so I don't think my phone can be designated as custom..

Do not do a KIES on this phone!!!!!!

No wipe -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2301259

This will aloow you to use ODIN to get your phone back to stock without a FDR.

Look for MDK.

Once you do that, then do

Root for MDK -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2290798

Then follow the thread further down to install TWRP and then not only can you go to 4.3 but you can go to a Kit KAt 4.4 ROM.

Whatever you do don't kill a MDK phone.

I'd be happy to trade a fully stock MK2 phone that can be unrooted if you like with a glass screen protector, box and factory charger.

It is black.

---------- Post added at 07:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:10 PM ----------

Please don't give this kind of advice to someone that has an MDK ROM phone.

As a noob you probably have no idea about KNOX and how locked the bootloader is after moving from a MDK ROM.

This is bad advice.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Terranatix:
With do not do a Kies, do you mean backup? I'll consider the root and flash ****, since it seems like there is no other way to get to 4.3; let a friend help me with that tomorrow. I'll let y'all know how that goes.

Damn, is this MDK phone **** really that good? I thought I had a crappy s4 tbh
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tech_head:
Kies is software that runs on your computer. The other user was suggesting Kies as a method to get to OTA 4.3. A bad idea with a MDK phone. Right now you have a phone that almost anyone on this forum would buy. Don't diminish the value by making it like all the other phones with a locked down bootloader.

Actually, I Know all about KNOX and I'm not a noob. He said nothing was custom and he was trying to update his phone, so i'm assuming he doesn't want to root. I'm on build MK2 rooted running HyperDrive ROM 13.0.0, so he can still use a bootstrap recovery, Disable KNOX w/o Tripping the KNOX Warranty Counter and install custom files and run a good custom ROM that offers a custom kernel even.

Me too. Although, I don't think this particular issue is linked to that toolkit. I do everything manually using the guides posted in these forums because I'm just anal and like to know exactly what's going on during each process. Plus, it never hurts to learn. That being said, I have the same issue and I'm stock rooted (also using Xposed + Gravity Box). I do notice this delay in widget loading, but only sometimes. It's pretty inconsistent. I thought it may have been linked to Lightflow, because when I would notice it taking longer, as soon I got the message saying "superuser granted to Lightflow" during startup, all the widgets would finally load. It may be linked to superuser, but what do I know. It doesn't really bother me. I can wait the extra 10-15 seconds for everything to boot up properly.

30 seconds is 25 seconds more than stock. Therefore, there is a problem. Therefore I post here. Therefore I am awaiting smart and constructive advice.

I have put back to stock, and it was OK. I then rooted, unlocked, and still OK. I then installed DroidKang, and immediately the widgets slowed down to 30 seconds again....

SO FINALLY (!!!) I found out that the problem was (or partly caused by...) The Nova Launcher !! At first boot after install was fine. Then I would restore all my apps, and then this problem would arise. I tested and tested and tested and tested and finally realized that Nova was the problem. Once it was installed, I was doomed. Even after uninstall it would still have the problem. So, I use Apex Launcher now (wow!) and dont install Nova, and its fine :D

Wondering if anyone else is having this issue.... When I start google maps and start navigation, right away an error saying Google TTS (text to speech) stopped.... Click Ok and it will give me voice directions still... sometimes the voice will change for it self and even the units lol.....

Things I have tired :

- Had the journalist 4.3 so i went on PC companion and clicked repair... it automatically downloaded a new (proper version I would assume) generic version of 4.3 and flashed it..... same issue still

- Tried removing the update for Google maps and google TTS... and then updating it again... same issue

- If I change TTS to Pico TTS it will work fine.... its just the voice isn't as nice

Really its more of a preference thing, just irritating when something isn't working as it should....... Any things to try would be great ?

------Note: TTS was working great on 4.2------

Secondly:

The GPS... If the Icon is set as active, I noticed on 4.3 it doesn't appear till its using Google Maps.... Does this mean its off, but automatically becomes active when its needed ? Or is it on all the time and just letting you know its using the GPS ?

Wondering for battery life, haven't really gotten a chance to test both scenarios properly.....
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dreamtheater39:
Heres how you can organise your programs view (Start->Programs)...

1. Use your normal file explorer and move all your shortcuts into separate folders (stuff like Media, Utils, Connectivity, Office etc.)

2. You can assign an icon for each folder by creating a shortcut in each folder and naming the shortcut as "icon.lnk"

You can do this easily by choosing any one of the available shortcuts and duplicating it...and then renaming the file to icon.lnk

3. I've used VJDialerSms to create a folder called speed dials with sub folders having all my important speed dial shortcuts in separate categories!

silly tips, but i just took some time out and did it....now i have a cleaner and less cluttered Programs menu which makes seaching for my apps so much easier!

Well worth the time spent imo ;)

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] lbendlin:
Please note that an extensive start menu will slow the machine down. This is because the operating system will have to search for the icons in each of the linked executables.

For example if you have Skype in your start menu (directly or as a shortcut) you will notice a long delay before the start menu opens. This is because the icon is at the end of the executable, and the Skype executable is over 5 MB big.

So the answer is to prune your start menu from all programs you don't ever need, rather than to fill it with nice to have stuff.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cktlcmd:
I personally use SmallMenu. What I did is leave everything as it is on my device and copied the shortcuts on my SD card and sort them all out there in different folders. I then use SmallMenu's function to launch them there. By doing it this way, I have the functionality of the Start Menu plus the flexibility of SmallMenu. No delays in lauching either. I was hesitant to disarranged anything in my Start Menu because some applications pops up a warning that it is needed to stay in that folder, although you can still move it and it seems to work anyway, but it still makes me paranoid that it may cause any dead shortcuts or functionality.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] tweakradje:
Why not give

GSPocketMagic++

a try?

(use the english cab from the download)

Still the best around. Also works on WM2005.

Then in Option > Setting... > Program Menu point folder to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs and organize your menu structure in there. Also select "Break menu items"

Also the Control Panel applets are directly selectable from GSPocketMagic++. You can still use the original "start menu" if you tap slightly right from the GSPocketMagic++ menu button.
