[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] igruberger:
Hi!

Just a few hours after upgrading to 4.4.2 (OTA official) I started to notice some "flaws" in the new OS. Of course there are lot´s of new good things too, but wouldn´t be better if we could eliminate some of the flaws too?

That´s why I´m creating this thread - with the purpose of exchanging experiences regarding the issues and solutions found in order to improve 4.4.2 usability.

I´m starting by sharing my experience with one of the most annoying drawbacks (at least in my opinion): the way external SD card is being used. 4.4.2 simply doesn´t allow data exchange between user installed programs (and data) and external SD card. I´m an user of FX File Manager (in my opinion one of the best file managers I ever seen).

When I opened for the first time in the new OS, the following message appeared: "Your SD Card may now be read only. This device is running Android 4.4 or later and appears to have both an internal storage area and external storage. Google imposed new restrictions in the Android 4.4 KitKat Update: applications that you install yourself ar no longer allowed to write to the "secondary external" storage (the MicroSD card). Applications installed by Google, the device manufacturer, and/or your mobile carrier ar exempt from this restriction. Only applications you choose to install are restricted. Some devices may not enforce this restriction, and other may have a means of disabling it. If you find yourself unable to write to your external SD card, please contact either your mobile carrier or device´s manufacturer support.This problem can be worked around if you have superuser access. Please refer to websites/forums related to your specific device for information."

Awkward!!!

I tried to move some files from my internal download to external SD card and no transfer was possible...

After searching for some workaround, the only way I could manage this situation was by installing ES File Explorer, which found a way to overcome this limitation for file transfer. Of course it solves the issue very partially, since no other programs (including photo / film software) will be able to overcome this problem.

I invite everyone who have/had an issue with 4.4.2 to use this as a way to exchange information, creating a single thread that will make easier to find issues and solutions (if available).

Fixing in general section. It was bug in leaked version but never thought they didn't fix it in OTA version? Flash 3rd kernel would pretty much solve problem I guess. But either way needs root access which means probably avoid warranty due to KNOX

1. Worse battery management than JB

2. More lagging in games and UI

Generally much ado about nothing imho :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcomana:
I am not installed yet the 4.4.2 update in my GT-I9505 because my carrier sure be the last one to adjust the base to post the update. (Venezuela - DIGITEL).

Regarding some of your issues, particulary the access to the SD Card, I recently read in one post on Questions section with two alternatives to activate the access to the card.

Check it and let us now if reallly working before the rest of the members take the adventure to install the 4.4.2 Kit Kat version.

Good look

I use X-plore on my S4, I can transfer files but I cant read newly transferred Mp3's from my external sd since kitcat 4.4 why has this stupid restriction being put in place!!!!! royally pissed off!!!!! and are you aware of any work around yet?? its not the phones manufacturer that can fix the problem, its the android software developers as its a software issue not hardware.

Hi all!

Well, I will not give a boring description of my new game. I will say differently.

You will not pass this simple puzzle to the end! Because, this game is for really smart, and maybe even for geniuses.

But! Somewhere deep in my soul, I still believe in humanity and its supreme intelligence! And maybe one of y...

By the way, Crystalux game is very beautiful and it's cool music. So if you're not very smart, then at least you will be pleased to pretend ))))

You can try to become smarter! But remember! Yoda said : «Do. Or do not. There is no try»

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] abhishekr700:
hello everyone

i tried the jellybean theme few days ago by marinalin

but after i restart the phone the phone hangs and the screen keeps blinking every few seconds

do i need some specific firmware to use this theme??

or any other solutions......
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] aniket.lamba:
Use DDLK2 as baseband.Make sure you have mounted all the partitions before flashing.Better use custom roms like Hyperion,Lenox etc. to flash these themes.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] abhishekr700:
why not use it on stock ddlk2
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] aniket.lamba:
Your choice.But I prefer a custom rom for these themes (My Opinion)
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] abhishekr700:
ok i agree with your opinion

just want to know why the screen keeps blinking
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] abhishekr700:
please someone reply

why the screen keeps blinking [MENTION=5343187]hnkotnis[/MENTION] [MENTION=4728903]marcussmith2626[/MENTION]

maybe u both can help me here
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] TheFixItMan:
probably a bootloop but it happens so fast the blinking is the start of some kind of boot animation but it doesnt have a chance to actually play it before bootlooping again
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] hnkotnis:
Wait!!! I have seen this in 4-Way Boot-stock deodexed ROM by RiddlerA.

And other mod (I forgot what that mod was)

I think it happens like this:-

You see "SAMSUNG GALAXY Y GT-S5360" Bootlogo.

You can see bootanimation. Phone vibrates after few minutes.

Home screen is shown ONLY FOR 1 SECOND if you use Holo launcher. Blank screen if you use stock Touchwiz3.0.

Then screen starts flashing in this pattern *flash* blank for 2 seconds *flash* home-screen for 1 second *flash*

In my second case, I went to CWM, Wiped Cache (ONLY CACHE, NOT DATA) Then went to advanced, wiped Dalvik-Cache. Rebooted. Problem was solved.

But in case of 4-way boot problem is not solved by this.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] mohamedrashad:
In JB theme thread too OP said "if you got bootloop wipe cache and dalvik cache then reboot

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PitchPurple:
I've been trying to fix this phone for 3-4 weeks now with no luck, so I figured this would be the right place to come.

I was way too tired and I was trying to use ROM Manager to try and flash a ROM that WAS NOT meant for my phone. Long story short I got stuck in a boot loop. I get past the Pantech logo then I hang at the AT&T logo. All I have access to is the bootloader menu and stock recovery - I can get to fastboot through the bootloader menu and I can get to ADB Sideload through recovery.

I've tried everything I can think to do with no luck. Then last night I got the update.zip for last year's OTA JB update. Through sideload I tried: adb sideload c:\adb\flex-jb-update.zip

It pushes the update to the phone and unpacks it fine. But after 24% or so I get an error on the phone and the installation gets aborted. It says something about the AT&T Family Map apk.

If I could get any pointers that would be great, 'cause I'm really not looking to send it back to AT&T. Last year I bricked my phone and I knew it wouldn't be covered by insurance so I smashed my phone to pieces and told AT&T that it got ran over by a car. Worked once, probably won't work again.

Any help would be great.

Thanks In Advance,

TJ
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PitchPurple:
Just tried re-signing the update.zip and doing it again. I got the same error.

After "Verifying current system..." I get "assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/ATTFamilyMap.apk" , "3014be541877900d308d9ca725ef507c96c33af8" , "1ea33a46e2d5330e30dca81aa4f9ecb52461677c")

[Micromax Canvas Magnus A117] NIKHILALWAYZ:
bro rename it to awesome Rom!

First of all congratulations for your first Rom port for a117. This Rom has everything I wanted (I don't even have to restore my major apps from TB, its already in there:laugh: lol).

Pros : Everything is smooth, xposed apps intergration and transparency in settings well done!, has lots of goodies for personalisation;),good on fps while gaming mc4, A8 running well,and many more things I am forgetting:laugh:

Cons: alignment of keys in dialer is a bit to the left left, and colors of keys are not sharp.not major issue but looks a bit clumsy.

camera(potoshphere seems to not work properly or maybe I don't know how to use it )

Rom is not pre-rooted properly(fix: in recovery itself)

Overall Good job mate,keep the updates rolling:good:
[Micromax Canvas Magnus A117] Santhosh M:
Thanks a lot for your feedback bro....Really happy

As i don't have the device and just ported for my friend i can't exactly tell what mistake in pre-rooting. He just said root is working.

I think i missed the super su binary lines in the script ( I am not sure and i need to check ).

Flashing super-su in CWM should solve the issue? Did it solve in your case ?
[Micromax Canvas Magnus A117] singhpps:
Checked working fine, Memory free is arround 467 MB. Lag free..

but there is error when I do voice search with google search bar.

not able to change battery style on the fly even it says theme applied..
[Micromax Canvas Magnus A117] Santhosh M:
Thanks for the feedback..Didn't check Google search bar & battery style changing.

Will release fix soon :) Hope the ROM is cool for your use other than these
[Micromax Canvas Magnus A117] NIKHILALWAYZ:
Fixing bugs while Not having a device is troublesome task,appreciate you effort.Rooting is not an issue,If the recovery is cwm after flashing the Rom the recovery itself prompts "fix su system/xbin ,hitting yes solves the problem"

Try fixing the dialer layout ,everything else is great
[Micromax Canvas Magnus A117] Santhosh M:
Is dialer very awry bro?

There is an xposed module that helps in adjusting dialer properties.

Or another option is compiling of Dialer Apk. If the dialer is very ugly i will work on it?!

[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] mindyabiznis:
does the black glass cover come with the Xperia logo on the back? as it doesnt show it on witrigs.

also if i remove the ASF layer from the glass back is the xperia logo on the ASF same as Sony is on the front screen?

Never mind just watched the video comparing the two and the Xperia is on the glass NOT the ASF :victory:

why couldn't Sony put the bloody SONY logo on the front glass instead of the ASF!? :eek:

Would be awesome if we could buy an OEM replacement front screen glass with the SONY logo on the glass not the ASF, or better yet... an OEM replacement with the logo and just glass - no ASF.
