Before this gets locked, yes you can root without tripping knox. As mentioned knox is for samsung to deny repairs if they see fit (if the phone is sent to them). Tmobile could care less if the phone is rooted or not. You just have to be careful about warranty repairs for samsung, thats what they may or may not look at.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Eric214:
On the old 4.3 firmware yes you can root with Root De La Vega and not trip the Knox counter but once you put ANY custom recovery it will trip the counter. Now on the OTA 4.4.2 that was released on Wednesday, the only 2 current ways to root (TWRP or Philz CWM) will trip the Knox counter no matter what. So until something comes out like an updated ROOT De La Vega, there's no way to even root without tripping the Knox counter.

Also from what i read, RDLV isn't being developed anymore so unless they decide to do something with it for the all the 4.4.2 releases hitting phones these days there may not be anything for a bit to root without tripping knox.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] chipworkz:
That is true for 4.3 but so far you can't on 4.4 from everything I have seen. Do you now of a way to not trip knox on 4.4?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Eric214:
Did I miss something? Is there a way to Root 4.4.2 without tripping Knox? I don't care I've tripped Knox the first night i had my N3 but I didn't think there was a way. Kningo and RDLV i thought borked the phones and caused bootloops.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] t3tr1s_:
My t-mobile store says that if you root your phone then it voids your warranty, so obviously they won't allow me to upgrade... So I know they check for it.. How is it you guys have stores where they don't seem to care?

Running Santod's NuSenseONE-dlx-KK_v3.0 ROM and the recent apps button does behave like it has in earlier roms of his. Specifically, a long press of the button used to bring up the settings menu for most apps. Not doing so now. Can anyone else verify and/or duplicate this? ROM is running on a Verizon Droid DNA.
[HTC Droid DNA] RLGL:
What you see is what you get. That is the only reason I do not use his roms. I have one app that relies on the recents button to get to settings for the app
[HTC Droid DNA] whskytango:
I was experiencing same thing, I used gravity box and set the long press recent button to pop up menu
[HTC Droid DNA] txtnkrmn:
Are you using Santod's ROM or an ASOP? I thought that Gravity Box would not work on a Sense ROM.
[HTC Droid DNA] whskytango:
Yes it was the UnSense One GPE/HTc hybrid and gravity box came already installed on the ROM, backup current ROM, then give it a try... If it don't work just restore the back up..

---------- Post added at 05:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:55 PM ----------

When I originally read your post I thought it was the UnSense ROM so I don't know much about the sense ROM, sorry for the confusion, is there anything in sense 5 tool box or a xposed module?
[HTC Droid DNA] txtnkrmn:
There is an xposed module that offers some button remap options, but it didn't work in my case. So, no solution just yet. This function did exist in earlier versions, didn't it?
[HTC Droid DNA] Egrier:
Gravity box works in Sense roms. I'm using it now on a 4.4.2/Sense 5.5 rom.

Hey friendly members of XDA,

My phone started to flicker recently and I could not figure out why it does this...

http://youtu.be/uhSOd6tlVgw

I did not have any water damage or physical damage to my phone but it started doing this randomly. When my phone gets colder, the screen starts to flicker, then half of the screen flickers with a yellow hue, then after a while the screen will be yellow. Also, while the phone is cold, the screen will not turn on. (I failed to show this in the video). Is there something I can do to fix this?

When I warm my phone up with my hands, the flickering goes away and everything goes back to normal.

Thank you,

Jerry

What should I do? My phone is still under warranty. Should I send it in?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ecparts:
Since your phone is still under warranty, you'd better send it to Samsung after-sales department for checking. Maybe it is free!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
It's up to you but I probably would. If something physical is affecting your phone then there's some type of hardware issue with your phone. Unfortunately xda can only help with software.

Well you could try flashing the latest Adreno drivers for our phone in recovery, if you still have SafeStrap that is.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ygyqpqmz6m30yuj/UPDATE-adreno-drivers-jflte9505.zip

Filename says i9505 but it's good for our Verizon S4s too.

Probably is a hardware issue if you've already tried Odin and different ROMs but hey worth a try if your going to send it back anyways.

similar screen flickering problem in cold ish environment, diagnosis.

I have a similar flickering problem. Is related to "cold temper.". There is a translucent rectangle that pops-up and overlays 80% of the screen (lower side) - it flickers. The rectangle is light grey and the screen icons etc are underneath it. However, the grey gets more and more dense and eventually, the rectangle becomes solid grey with less flicker, then, you can no longer see the screen contents beneath it. Also, the overlaid rectangle grows to about 95% of the screen. Only part of the notification line on top is visible. Amazingly, the screen and touching the various icons and buttons still works 100% perfectly ... only problem is you cannot see what you are touching ; . . . so you have to guess where the various icons and buttons are, . . . and touch them accordingly (blindly so to speak). I suspect there is a background "phantom" task that is running, pertinent to various sensors ( ex. proximity) that is misbehaving. This phantom task likely is launched after a wake-up or re-boot event. Eventually, the phantom task slows-down its strange work, the flickering and the greyness of the translucent rectangle is reduced, and after few seconds it goes away and the phone works fine again. So my diagnosis is: some kind of fault between a background running task and the GPU O/S driver. The problem is critical in that if you are out in a snow-storm scenario and want to use your phone, simply, you won't be able to, the flickering obstruction can last 5-10 minutes.

Has anybody solved the problem with 100% satisfactory result ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mukeshbaidwan:
Hi mate,

I am facing the same issue so how exactly did you fix it? Was it a hardware problem?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] iamjerry123:
I'm 99% sure it's a hardware problem. I fixed it by switching to the LG G4.
[HTC One X] eoraptor:
So my friend gave me a OneXL and a whole kit-out last year for my birthday (he refurbs them and no I won't give out his name) This also included the Medialink HD box, clip and HDMI cable.

At the time it was of no use to me cause I am a farmboy and all my TVs are old analog CRTs with just co-ax or RCA or S-video.

Well I am finally getting a TV with HDMI so I can put the thing to use. I understand it operates on the same principle as a Chromecast, and I have seen other threads mention you can project to it from Windows Media Player, so I was wondering, what all uses has everyone found for their Medialink boxes with or without your One X? How have you set yours up?
[Zooper Widget General] MrBiggzz:
Hi!

I'm trying to have text that hugs the outside of a circle. Now if the text string is long it pulls away from the curve of the circle and if the string is short it curves right into the circle.

I'd like to have it just ride the outside of the circle no matter if it's 10 characters or 100.

Anybody have an idea how this is done?

Many thanks in advanced!
[Zooper Widget General] ma11en:
Hi,

What parameters are you using to define the curve?

Regards

Ok,

I've had a play and this seems to work.

Define the circle, here I have a Diameter* of 180*.

Add a text module, set the Text Alignment to Centre.

Set Curve to 175, now the magic bit is setting the Width which is Pi × Diameter* = (3.14 × 180*) = 565

I've learnt something today, l hope this helps.

Regards Mark.
[Zooper Widget General] MrBiggzz:
It did help. Couple of questions!

1) How'd did you figure out the 'Curve' angle?

2) The shape outline just color that so it vanished? Correct?

I think I got it!
[Zooper Widget General] MrBiggzz:
Mark,

Is it possible to have the text upside down at the bottom of the circle so that reads right?

BTW you're like God for this little trick!

[Zooper Widget General] ma11en:
Hi,

Good stuff.

1. Just a bit nerdy with numbers, as it was based on circles Pi came to mind (shame I'm not smart enough to do anything productive with it ;) )

2. Yeah, I just put it there so I could see what was happening.

Play around with Rotate in 90 degree steps (you will need to adjust X and Y positions) this will move the centre point of your text to 3, 6 or 9 o'clock.

If you change the Curve to a negative number it will bend the text in the opposite direction (you will need to reduce the Width, which appears to be;

(diameter-(font size+some spacing from the circle)*Pi

Here the width is (180-(15+4))*Pi = 505.

Regards Mark.

---------- Post added at 07:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:34 AM ----------

And one more example
[Zooper Widget General] MrBiggzz:
This formula, where did the 15+4 come from? I'm following the rest. I would need to make another lay to do this since the text would be inside the circle. Not a problem. And I guess that circle outline is going to help as a point of reference.

Interesting!

What could be interesting is if Zooper every animated something like this. But .. I'm sure that would go against being battery efficient.

Thanks for all your help! :good:
[Zooper Widget General] ma11en:
Hi,

15 is the font size and 4 is approx the space between the text and the circle.

Regards Mark.
[Zooper Widget General] MrBiggzz:
Got it!

Thanks for all this! + I hope it helps someone else trying to do something similar!
[Zooper Widget General] ma11en:
No worries.
[Zooper Widget General] MrBiggzz:
Mark,

If I could bother you one last time?

Is there an easy way to absolute center elements on the grid? That would make lining these circles so much more easy!

Thanks again!

- Dave
[Zooper Widget General] ma11en:
Hi,

Unfortunately it appears that circles are anchored on the point that they are drawn, imagine the place where you would put a pencil to draw one by hand.

I agree it would be easier if the anchor point was the centre the circle.

Regards Mark
[Zooper Widget General] MrBiggzz:
OK, thank!

I'm going to turn that in as a suggestion for an enhancement!
[Networking] Haydee:
For some reasons, I am having problems connecting to their GPRS server when the connection bars are full(4 bars on the phone). I am using the MDA with cingular service, but I am sure the settings are correct. I've even installed a 8125 rom and used it's settings..

I live in houston, and work a few miles from basicly it's business center, and a few more miles from downtown. Cingular has excelent coverage in my area, all Edge, and G3 is also availiable.

The problem is that I am having no problems with the phone side, but the internet keeps disconnecting or not reading at all? How can this be? Aren't they on the same band? I have to "search for network" in the phone settings to get GPRS to connect, but then the internet will only work for a few minutes and stop working again. The E symbol with the transfer animation is still there, through the animation is not active, meaning the phone is connected right? So why isn't my internet working? I am really at a lost of what to do.,

Is this a problem with mobile internet or is it my phone?
[Networking] ronh:
The bars only tell you something about the carrier.

So the carrier is good, it doesn't mean the GPRS/UMTS in working properly.

You still can face problems like no IP-adres, Gateway, DNS etc.

Occasionally I have the same probs in Holland, but then I disconnect/reconnect is sufficient to resolve the problem.

(disconnect by holding the "end call" button for a couple of seconds.

Maybe you have some interference in the neighbourhood?

Try another part of town, if that doesn't help, visit a service center and see if they have a device that can connect normally.

Or maybe you know somebody with a working Universal to test at your place?
[Networking] Haydee:
If there was an interferencem would it only affect certain carriers or all GSM carriers?

Also, the holding the end call button doesn't seem to work in disconnecting and reconnecting?

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] H0B0onDRUGS2:
From what I've learned online, when rooting a device the changes that are done to the system are done on the ROM file. If true then is it possible to encrypt or overwrite on top of the ROM file to hide any past rooting information?

Reason: I've been having a USB port issue with my PC not being about to recognize the device when plugged into a PC using the micro USB cable. Searched online and found many different ways to troubleshoot the connectivity issue, but couldn't get it to work. Hit the MAYDAY button and said "no, it's not rooted", and yes it did update firmware to 13.3.2.1 so technically no, "it's not rooted"... anymore...

Question: Any ideas on how to "hide" this information to keep warranty?

I already have a replacement on it's way so I can side load through USB once again instead of using a cloud drive to transfer files back and forth. I personally think the current device I have has a corrupted file (some where) when the device died of having no battery power. Read it happening to other people, so I believe it. Used many cables, and many PC's including a Linux PC. Nothing, so Amazon support gave up, and decide to send me a replacement HDX since they concluded it's a physical hardware issue. As if one of the ports are not working to load drivers to the PCs using the pug-and-play method. I think that makes sense but I AM NOT 100% SURE OF THIS. I think it makes sense, but I'm not an expert yet. I don't know completely, so don't ask me.

What do you guys think? Am I pretty much screwed and need to forget about replacing this HDX? And probably wait for a better hardware-wise tablet to come out for a reasonable price? Or can I get the replacement, no questions asked?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] jjrizzelcincy:
just wipe the kindle from inside the rom like a return to factory setting and it will wipe your root and everything on the device including sdcard well internal sdcard anyway ,and you will be fine
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] H0B0onDRUGS2:
Sounds good. I'll give feed back after they have received it, and again when they OK it. I was thinking that the factory reset only deals with the data on the "hard drive" portion, as in personal data or files like apps and books. I read that the ROM file of the HDX device is on the motherboard so I felt that there was no need to have to "delete", technically ignore/hide, the data of the old ROM file. I was wondering if there was a way to be sneaky and put a file that was the stock ROM and set the day the file was put there around the time the update 13.3.2.1 came out. I just don't want the issue of them saying that the warranty is void when the device is not rooted anymore .

Plus I can deal with a device that can not be recognized by a PC still. Just upload to a cloud my files using the Internet and all is good if they see it was rooted before and I have to deal with this old HDX.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Raymondlikesroot:
Hi guys,

I'm debating if I should flash Hyperdrive RLS 14 on my stock slot in safestrap. Would I still flash the modules (I have mk2 )? Also, what would I flash in odin just in case if I encounter some problem? Would I flash the no wipe image or the full wipe image of the stock mk2?

Anndddd! last question... can you restore a backup of a rom slot 1 onto the stock slot?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
I don't think you need to flash the kernel modules if you live dangerously and flash over the stock slot. However, it can't hurt to flash the MK2 modules. They're tiny, after all.

If you have problems, you may be able to fix it with a no-wipe. Otherwise, full-wipe will get it back.

If I were you, I'd download them both and verify MD5 sums before flashing over the stock slot. Then it's pretty easy to get something functional back.

Yes, Safestrap will let you flash a backup of slot one over stock. Will it work? Dunno. If you try it, please let us know. :fingers-crossed:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] douger1957:
For what it's worth, I've flashed Hyperdrive to the stock slot with no trouble at all. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one to do so.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
Yes, it'll probably work. For the kind of people who ask this - given how often it's been already asked and answered - it's better to recommend that they spend the time to understand the risk.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hermanj:
Hi

I've been playing around with ROMs. And I might have flashed things that I shouldn't have flashed. Like modem files and stuff.

My phone is working, but I have erratic battery drains. Like 0.6%/h and the next percentage is 25%/h (screen is off), which I hadn't had before.

I bought a new battery because I thought that might be the problem, but the problem is still there.

So I was thinking that I may have flashed some wrong things like modem drivers that might cause the modem to use too much power.

I did flash a stock firmware. But does this include everything I could have messed up? Or can there still be some residue from other ROMs somewhere? (Kernels, modems, ....?)

Hello to anyone reading this,

This crack in the board happened after it went through the clothes washer, and it was gf's phone so i feel really horrible about it :crying:.

Anyways i have yet to even find out what this piece of the board is named. It's cracked in two places on the vertical part of the board that leads down

to where the usb connector is located (everything else appears looks ok just these two cracked pieces). I'm just looking for any help at all, hoping

someone might be able to offer any help at all, or if it's even possible to salvage. I have an uncle that is got a good amount of experience in

soldering/electrical stuff and can handle the soldering/fixing since im still a bit of a noob, but he was unsure about how to go about it since it would

require some very small wires to fix the connection traces, so if anyone can offer any advice or instruction on mending i would greatly appreciate and

can send some BTC for your help. I attached 2 images, and can supply more if you need more detail.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] keithross39:
That, my friend, is the mother board.......

Tbh......attempting to solder it is likely to cause more problems than it solves.....

Your best option would be to forget about attempting the repair and go and look for a 'donor' phone....that is to say, a phone with a broken screen but otherwise intact....most online auction sites should have some.....other than that, bite the bullet, and send it to Samsung for repair.....

Even if you did manage to do a successful repair, these phones don't like being immersed in water even briefly, so the fact that it has gone through a wash cycle (?) is likely to have caused issues due to water penetration and short circuiting.........

ANY repair using a heated soldering iron has the potential to cause further damage. Unless your uncle is an experienced electronics worker, I'd advise NOT to attempt it.....

These boards are built by computer controlled robots that don't suffer with shaky hands, can easily manipulate REALLY fine tipped soldering equipment, and know EXACTLY how long they can leave the heat applied without causing damage.
