[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DrRichardQuack:
Hello,

I am using Sacs Custom ROM 4.2.2 Kit-Kat on Sprint (SPH-L720). Software version, Baseband version, and Build number all reflect NAE.

I don't have enough posts to ask my question in the development thread (and maybe this is a more appropriate venue anyway).

When I go to Settings -> My device -> Lock screen -> Screen lock, every option, except for PIN and Password, is greyed-out with the following message under each option:

Turned off by administrator, encryption policy or credential storage.

Even though I would prefer to use a Pattern (that option is disabled), if I select one of the available options (PIN or Password), I complete the setup but the Swipe method still applies and anyone can unlock the device with a Swipe gesture. For whatever reason, the method I choose is not effective.

I have done quite a bit of searching-around on this issue, both on these forums and elsewhere, and many of the 4.2.2 ROMs have this problem. Negalite, Slim Bean, and Omega, to name a few. So, I am thinking that perhaps Sacs Custom ROM is no exception and this is a "known issue" on which the devs are already working.

Does anybody know this to be the case?

All of the older threads I've found that mention this problem suggest going to Settings -> More -> Security, and choosing Clear credentials from the bottom of the list. I've tried this and it changes nothing. I have also tried a full Factory Reset, and the problem persists. In fact, I have completely wiped the phone and reinstalled the ROM from scratch and this problem is present from the very first power-on.

Thanks to anyone who may be able to confirm whether or not this is a "known issue" with Sacs Custom ROM 4.2.2 Kit-Kat!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] leaderbuilder:
Yes it is a know issue. If you did read the threads all the way through you's see that. That question is asked and answered daily in the ROM threads and Q&A. It has to do with the 'Secure Android status' (partition)

There is a possible solution for some, also mentioned in many threads - doing a full NAE tar (or OTA) update then flashing. But, again as mentioned hasn't worked on every single bodies phone (though that of course could be user issues).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DrRichardQuack:
Thanks, leaderbuilder. I really appreciate your time. It's nice to see confirmation.

I do try to read through the threads in their entirety, but some threads grow incredibly long. I tried searching the relevant Sacs thread for "Turned off by administrator, encryption policy or credential storage" and no results were returned.

In any case, thanks again! I'll just be patient at this point. :o

UPDATE:

So, it was trivial to fix this, at least in my particular case. I took your good advice, leaderbuilder, and kept my eye on the thread for the next time someone raised this issue. The solution that worked for me was this one:

I didn't try ES File Explorer -- just went straight to Root Explorer, based on above-cited comments, and it worked perfectly. Now I can select any unlock method I want, and the changes are effective.

UPDATE 2:

I can confirm that this same technique works on Sacs Custom ROM KitKat v3, too.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] rubinglen:
I am trying to fix this problem as well. After editing the file as you suggest, I am unable to save the edit. I tried text editor and ES File Explorer Editor, both yield an 'error saving file' type message. Thanks for any suggestions!

---------- Post added at 02:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:56 AM ----------

Ok, I played around in ES File Explorer and figured it out. In the side menu a short press will turn 'Root Explorer' option on and a longer press will give you access to Root Explorer's sub-menus. That allows you to mount r/w and select /system, before editing the file.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DrRichardQuack:
Glad you figured it out! Thanks for sharing this alternate solution with the rest of us!

I have a spanish vodafone v1640 and i want to change the ROM by using UNI_QTEK_13077_176_10900_WWE_Ship.exe

I have followed the steps from here http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=45874 but all I achieve is that error (120 incorrect country ID).

The Rom is in english but the phone is spanish, should that be a problem? I already made a backup.

Country ID Error Fixed

Hi guys this is my first post!!!

Country ID error....

both to two separate folders (WIN RAR) copy the full content of

the subfolder “OutputFile” and paste in the WM6 folder, it will ask

if you will want to replace “nk.nbf” click yes. go to boot loader mode

and install…..

congratulations!!!

[RAZR HD Android Development] brownrt:
Do you have a build with the most recent ColorOS 4.3. I'm curious because I'll be looking to port out the framework and whatnot for the 50mpx camera app on the Find 7.
[RAZR HD Android Development] manuski:
Is there a certain recovery you have to use cause it's failing for me. I'll try to write what the fail part is.
[RAZR HD Android Development] Tquetski:
CWM I think
[RAZR HD Android Development] Tquetski:
I hope to not touch 4.3 at all after this is done and move onto 4.4 firmwares right away; 4.1-4,3 is mostly the same, but 4.4 is very significant and is much better for a lot of reasons.

I'm pretty much at the point now where if I'm source-building 4.3 for this device I'm doing it for every device I maintain with these custom firmware ports; I can't justify 4.3 at all since MIUI is almost 4.4 for the 'general population'

Edit: On some devices it actually is, I won't do it until it's pushed to MiCode though
[RAZR HD Android Development] jtommyj:
If you use Twrp 2.6.0 it works. If you are using 2.6.3.0 it errors out and names all the devices.
[RAZR HD Android Development] manuski:
I'm actually on 2632 and it does that. Okay so you think that's why I can't flash bean stalk as well. I get a error regarding the binary. Okay so I'll flash back a recovery and try it
[RAZR HD Android Development] jtommyj:
Im not sure about Beanstalk cause that's based on 4.4 so "should" work. This is based on 4.2 so it needs the older Twrp
[RAZR HD Android Development] Tquetski:
You can edit the updscript to remove the device lines too but i didnt bother and kept it stock
[RAZR HD Android Development] MrSaba:
can I instal it on OTA 9.30.1 locked bootloader
[RAZR HD Android Development] Dexcellium:
Hi it seems that the 926 topic is a bit more active :p, yea so I wanted to ask you guys, if it's possible to root the device, i tried with tons of methods of JB or SuperSU flashing and that stuff, the su binary gets deleted i think each time by the Color's OS kernel maybe

I'm using the CWM recovery, btw I tried also with the TWRP recovery

Edit 1: it works now, cause i found this, thanks :p

No, well maybe but i don't know if it will boot with a stock kernel

I think device will probably reject it if you try to downgrade from 4.4 to 4.3 because of bootloader, but not sure, but surely it happens when you down to 4.2

Is the dash mount sturdy enough to reduce vibrations/shakiness from driving?
[Nexus 7 General] aviola7x7:
Yep! I love this mount. It is solidly stuck to the dash and the Nexus doesn't move at all even when you hit a pothole or something.

Also, if you are using this guide as a reference, I am testing a new radio antenna setup. The dipole I was using was too directionally dependent and I would lose signal depending on the car's orientation. I'm testing a set up where I splice into the car's antenna and so far it seems to be working well. Once I finalize the setup, I'll update the OP.
[Nexus 7 General] DustyGees:
This is awesome. In the back of my mind I've been thinking about doing similar, it's so awesome to see it in action. Good work!
[Nexus 7 General] natesjk:
Interesting setup with all the extra antennas!

Question about the cam...

You mentioned refresh rates and all. What about lag or delay? Is there a delay in the video when it hits your screen?

Or was that fixed with the Mirror app?
[Nexus 7 General] DeCharny:
Nice setup. I have a question about your FreedomPop dongle. When your Nexus comes out of sleep mode, does it automatically reconnect to the dongle/4G? I have one as well, and it worked fine when I tested it on my bench but once installed it doesn't seem to want to work.

[Nexus 7 General] gflare:
That's the ugliest comment I've seen. Obviously, reading the post wasn't important to you. There's no reason to hide it and make it look good if it's still in a testing phase for different items.

Great post aviola, interesting choices in parts and a very good breakdown for people to gain ideas from. Very good point about keeping it removable, because summer car heat can really obliterate pieces/devices that are out unprotected.

:good:
[Nexus 7 General] vocado:
thanks so much for this guide. :good:
[Nexus 7 General] aviola7x7:
Sorry for the delayed responses. With the semester finishing up, I keep forgetting to come back to this thread

I have no real issues when it comes to lag. Initially, when I was using camera applications, there was a good 1 second delay between what the camera saw and what the screen showed. Installing the mirror app reduced the lag to a point I don't notice it anymore.

Here is the link for the Mirror app I have been using:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yuvalluzon.mirror

In terms of updates, I have successfully tied the tuner into my car antenna for the best reception. I installed a splitter so that the car radio and usb tuner can be connected simultaneously. SDR is good but doesn't do as well with poor reception and there are some times I would rather just use the radio rather than the whole setup.

I'm still having power issues where the the screen on max and GPS navigation use more power than the tablet gets. I'll probably do some testing with a multimeter to see how much power is actually getting to the tablet but for now I have to take the Nexus in about once a week for a full charge up.

Aesthetically, I don't have any plans as of yet to hide all of the wires. I'm constantly swapping stuff in and out and don't want the hassle of dealing with running them through the dash or anything. As the majority of people have correctly observed, this is a proof concept rather than a formal installation. My objective in posting this was not to provide a complete step by step guide for people to follow as there are already several excellent threads devoted to this. This was meant for people to get ideas from so they could build their own installations with their own equipment.

Thanks everyone for all of the positive feedback. For anyone with questions, feel free to continue to ask and I will do my best to be more timely about answering them. If you need more in depth or specific information, that's really what this thread is all about. I anticipate changes to my setup will come slowly but I'll try and update this with the ones that have been proven to work.
[Sprint LG G2] RHudyCT:
About a week ago I was using my G2 and everything was working perfectly. I then went into updates and did a PRL and Profile update and BOOM my LTE stopped working and I was forced to 3G. Now for the past 4 days or so my 3G barely works and most of the time I get no data at all. I'm even starting to get zero bars and a red x. I've tried nearly everything I can think of to remedy this issue but nothing I've done has fixed it.

I've gone into the hidden menu and enabled LTE only and the LTE comes on and works great! But...You can't just be on LTE only because then CDMA doesn't work and you can't receive calls or texts. I've also turn the phone from voice centric to data centric but then I couldnt receive calls, I could only MAKE calls.

I've done all the obvious stuff like turn my phone from global to cdma/lte and vice versa. When I reset my phone LTE will come on for 2 seconds tops then stop and push me to 3G...then after a while 3G will stop working.

I'm completely stock, not rooted.

I've talked to a guy at sprint and he's told me that they know the G2 has issues with CDMA/LTE switching

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Sprint LG G2] etd:

It's either ##UPDATE# or ##CLEAR# I can't remember which.

All I remember is that the phone showed a bunch of dialog boxes, then the phone rebooted and reactivated data. I'd assume it was ##CLEAR#, but again, not sure.

Actually it's a Spark issue. The only remedy is to wait for Sprint to put out an update or disable spark. You can disable it by dialing ##data#, go into LTE - edit (you'll need your MSL. There's a dialer code to get it just look here on the forums) then disable bands 26 and 41 and set their priority to 0. Afterwards your LTE will be back to normal.

Hi all!

On JellyBean I had the location settings on Wifi+GSM networks, since GPS takes battery power and I don;t need a very accurate location. On KitKat, Google can't find my location anymore, so it seems. On Wifi/GSM Google Maps prompts "waiting for location", on GPS/Wifi/GSM is finds my location eventually but only by GPS location. No GPS reception, no location update.

Is there something broken here?

I'm running a stock EU Z1 compact, no root, no custom ROM or anything.
