Don't hope, fix now.

If I was you, I would backup all my important personal info on the phone and factory reset it.

I would do those tricks one by one w/o installing any app yet and see how the battery fares after each charge.

General speaking, we need to understand the root cause and find the solution from there, if it needs to be rooted to fix the problem then you root it otherwise, blindly rooting and assuming everything else will fix isn't the right way to debug.

Hey, all!

I am a 16 year old themer, and StoneGrey is my first theme for the T-mobile theme chooser. It is priced at INR 60, roughly 99 cents. Currently, I own an htc explorer, which is my first and only android, I want to buy the Google Nexus 5, so I made this theme to gather enough funds and to gain some support. I get about INR 40 per download, so i need about 825 downloads to meet my target.

StoneGrey theme has complete XHDPI and HDPI support and also works with android 4.4 (kitkat)! There are alot of apps themed. Its a decent theme, at a very low price, has a very small apk size and shall have constant updates. So do go check it out, and please share the theme so that I could meet my goal.

The community shall have regular contributions from my side with new paid, as well as free themes :)

PS: The screenshots in the link are from v1 and are taken from an mdpi device and shall be updated very soon

Thanks!﻿

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grungypoo:
Hi guys,

Long time lurker first time poster. I've always been handy enough to follow the clues on xda forum to be able to work things out and google, but this time around I'm stuck and would appreciate a few leads... maybe I'm google-ing the wrong terms.

Anyways, I'm looking to get more info on directory structures on the phone and microsd card.

Let me explain: After rooting my phone and putting a new ROM on it, I noticed that the ROM does does not read my sd card. I looked it up and apparently the rom had a new structure on jb (or was it ics, I can't remember,) and there was a fix that I needed to run in recovery which fixed it, when I changed to a different ROM (was running sentinelRom and now slimrom) it didn't read again and I ran the file in recovery again.

This time I noticed that the kinda added extra directories and I'm not sure which one the rom is using.

As an example, I noticed that when I went into es explorer, there would be similar directories within each other (ie. device/0/0 .....)

and since I've gotten notice that I'm running low on space, I noticed under storage that the directory /0 is taking the most space.

Problem is I don't want to just delete it... the last time I tried to clear a directory I deleted some files that were being used. (luckily they were only sound files, ) so somehow, certain directories are being used by the rom, I'm just not sure which one....

Anyways, I would be much obliged if someone could point me in the right direction on where I can get info or be able to clean up my directories before I upgrade to the kitkat version of my ROM.

Thanks in advance folks!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkboss1:
I recently rooted my phone, Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-M919, and I edited the build.prop folder to get soft keys on my device. After I restarted my phone, the wallpaper changed to all black and about every 5 seconds I would get a message saying "Unfortunately, System UI has Stopped" so then I Un-rooted my phone through SuperSU and i still ended up getting the same problem. So then I decided to Factory Reset my phone, and afterwards the problem still didnt go away, I still got the same annoying message. I don't know what to do, please help ASAP, Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
Rooting wasn't the problem, it was the edit.. So you can either edit the build prop back to what it was, or restore to stock/reflash your ROM
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
That build.prop edit doesn't work on TouchWiz. From my research I saw that Sammy gutted the framework for the soft keys, so enabling them on TW causes nothing but problems. AOSP is the only way to have the real-deal soft keys.. you can use LMT on TouchWiz, although, to me, the whole pie thing is clunky compared to having dedicated soft keys.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkboss1:
I can't edit the build prop anymore, because I'm un-rooted now. Are you sure that restoring to stock ROM would make the problem go away, and if so, how would I be able to restore to Stock ROM? I have no idea how to do that, Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] baseballfanz:
Yes if you flash the stock ROM you'll get the original unedited buildprop.

If you made a nandroid backup, restore it(nandroid backup saves headaches :D ) If not you need to use Odin to flash the original firmware. What firmware are you on, mdl (4.2.2) or mk2(4.3)?

☞ Sent from here☜
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkboss1:
I'm on 4.3, and how would I use Odin to flash the original firmware and what version of Odin?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
You can't edit build.prop because you're unrooted.... couldn't you just re-root, edit build.prop, then unroot again if you just didn't want root?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkboss1:
When I was rooted, I tried to edit the build prop, but every time I tried to open the build prop folder to delete my adjustments, My phone would just keep on crashing, saying that the System UI has stopped working, So then I just un-rooted, hoping the problem would go away, but it didn't.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
I'd think that you could use adb to pull the build.prop, edit on your computer, then push the build.prop back... I mean, doing a restore would work, but I'm thinking of how to not lose your data.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkboss1:
What exactly do you mean by restore? I already factory resetted my phone. I don't really care about losing my data.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
I meant flashing a stock firmware image via Odin. Being you don't care about data loss, that would be the route to take.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkboss1:
Okay, So how exactly would I do that? I'm pretty new to these kind of things.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
Go to sammobile.com to find the M919 UVUEMK2 firmware.

Follow this thread. It's for returning to 4.2.2, but the premise is the exact same for restoring official 4.3 as well. Just use the newest version of Odin and instead of flashing the UVUAMDL tar, use the one you just downloaded from sammobile.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkboss1:
Okay, I'm in the process of downloading the firmware. I also had another question. When I go to my phone's software update to check, for an update it says "Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available" and the device status is "Custom" even though I'm not rooted anymore and If I flash the original stock ROM, will this go away, and return to its normal state?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
On that note, I don't know for 100% certain but I do believe that will stay. Perhaps someone else can confirm if Triangle Away will at least remove that aspect on 4.3; I know it won't touch your KNOX counter but I'm uncertain if it does anything for your flash counter.

All that device status: Custom means, aside from warranty being void is you can't update via Kies or OTA; but you can still update (when an update is released) by downloading the firmware and flashing via Odin OR using a custom recovery and a flashable zip.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
Its still on modified because you altered system files.. Once you restore it should go back to normal
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkboss1:
Thank you guys so much! I flashed the original stock ROM and everything is back to normal :D

What Kernal, ROM, setting, etc. do you use to maximize the battery life of the Nexus 5? I am looking for the best possible set up. I am a college kid and a business man so I do not really spend much time near the charger. A full day would be nice. I am also open to other phone suggestions besides any Samsung device. Touchwiz is the devil.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unoo:
I currently am running Cyanogenmod nightlys on my nexus 5 and ATM I have 32% left. The phone has been on 13h39m and screen time was on for 2h16m. I am not a heavy user by any means but stock cyanogenmod on my Nexus 5 easily lasts me all day. As for other devices, you could look into the LG G2. It is essentially the nexus 5 with a bunch of LG bloatware and a bigger battery. I personally think the Note series is probably your best bet even though you don't like Samsung. The HTC one max is a similar size to the note 3 and has a big battery but I am not sure what the battery life is like for that device. I used to have a Note 2 and absolutely loved it. The only reason I got rid of it was because I switched carriers and it was a little out dated when I switched but the Note 3 wasn't available yet. The Note 2 lasted me 2 days without me ever worrying about the battery charge.

If you really want a nexus 5 you can look into a portable battery backup as well. Some of them will be able to charge the nexus 5 2-3 times before they need to be recharged. Something like this: Link

Flash PIT - this will fix it

You need to flash the PIT with ODIN, latest version (3.09, I believe). Google for a download mirror that hosts the PIT for whichever type of note 3 you have, then flash it with odin (should work while in the invalid software screen). Then, if it doesn't reboot, just remove the battery and unplug that sucka. When it reboots, it should go back to download mode or just regular bootup. I recommend setting up adb, which makes it much easier to put the phone into whatever mode you desire with a simple dos command.

Its not worth it so much now but it was great when first released and it doesn't take that long to revert your phone. I went back and fourth like 5 times and my phone is fine. I think there is a low chance of your phone bricking as long as you follow instructions. The conversion is still a good option to have.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] alastair53:
Yeah, it seems nice to have the ability to do so, which is why I wrote the guide (and to give a single comprehensive guide that works).

It's nice to have a perfectly working KitKat rom the day its released, which is why I converted (When KK was released), but now, it doesn't seem worth it (We have AOSP). If you want MultiRom and franco kernel (Like I did), then its nice to have, but otherwise, most people don't need it.
