[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NCTP2:
In CWM recovery when you go to install zip, go down to toggle signature verification and make sure it is disabled.

Another option, I was playing around with it the other day. I didnt need to install SU from zip. After you have CWM start phone as normal and just go to play store and try to install SU from there.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbpaddler:
I'm thinking if you don't run the zip then installing SU won't do a thing. The zip gets you root.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r333xxh4v0k:
after i flash with odin & reboot to cwm it wont let me select anything. the screen just blinks?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NCTP2:
I disagree. The custom bootloader trips knox. SU in itself isnt root. It just gives SU control.

Try for yourself. Unroot, Install stock NA7. Then install bootloader. Install SU from sd card thru normal phone file explorer. Reboot. It will be rooted.

The bootloader gives root. SU allows you to control root permissions.

SuperSU doesnt work without root....that says it all.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albumleaf:
Yep. This exactly.

There's really not enough documentation about this whole loading custom roms on this phone thing. You can definitely do it like any other phone, you just need to be aware that you're going to trip Knox. In my case since I'm buying bad ESN phones in the first place with no warranty, I don't care one bit.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbpaddler:
ideally you mean flashing the recovery is what gives you root, not flashing the zip with SU. At least for the terms of the two steps people are doing to get rooted and moving with this phone. Don't need to try. Just used to the flashing the zip in recovery to get root with some other phones. They're all a bit different. So flashing the recovery through odin gives you root, then yes, it makes sense you can install SU that way. You should also be able to install it from the play store as well, I would imagine.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Holhat:
I appreciate your help, I really do. I get the first part and know how to use the tar file in Odin but I don't get the second part, would you mind spelling it out for me?? :confused: I already bricked my phone once, thank G for the thread here on that, it saved my *** and my phone :victory:
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbpaddler:
She has a link to a zip file. You download it to the root of your internal storage (for simplicity's sake). You boot into recovery and "install from sdcard" and choose that zip file and run it.

Then reboot.

What version of Odin should I used?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbpaddler:
Read through the thread. Thi k I posted a link to one known to work. Others have mentioned it too. I forgot offhand. I have like five versions on my computer.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NavyBurch:
Well I can get the recovery to show but when I select anything the screen just flashes. Does absolutely nothing and when I reboot the recovery goes back to stock -_-
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dominique.j.lopez:
Are you running ODIN as Administrator. I cant remember but i think i had this issue before and it worked for me.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NavyBurch:
Yes I am. I have tried different version of Odin also. Still nothing. :(
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dominique.j.lopez:
What Recovery are you using? Stock or CWM
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NavyBurch:
Right now it's stock. I am trying to put CWM. CWM gets on there, none of the commands for it work and it disappears after phone reboot. So I can't install SU zip nor keep the recovery.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NavyBurch:
Any help? Anyone?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbpaddler:
Are you doing a normal reboot after Odin then trying to go to recovery?

If so, uncheck reboot in Odin. When you get done flashing, pull the battery, reboot straight to recovery and flash the zip. Only thing I can think of if you tried run as admin, multiple downloads, computers, cables and so forth.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NavyBurch:
I've tried that. The recovery just flashes when I try to select anything. It won't do anything at all. I have tried other CWM downloads and all do the same thing. I am on the SPH-L520 if that helps with anything.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbpaddler:
We're all on the 520 here. Don't know why it's not working well. Seems like the variables have all been covered. The only thing I can think of is to ODIN stock NA7 and try from scratch.

[Android Apps and Games] hystericalz:
Kinetic is the most efficient way to find out what your friends are up to right now. Plans change every second and might fall through last minute and so you want an answer instantly. You don't have to call/message 5-10 people or post on a social network where it might not be checked. Kinetic is versatile and made for a thousand different situations, different to what other apps can provide. If you broadcast yourself, you will never have to ask the question 'why didn't you call me? I was free!'

The way it works is that a person can post a status or check a list of their friends statuses of what they want to do right now. They get an optional push notification each time a post is made, so that's potentially a 100% reach so you know your post is getting through to all your friends. A common reason for friends not calling/inviting you out is because they assume you're busy, either with work, friends or a significant other. But they might actually be free at that point in time. By broadcasting that you are free and willing to hang out, it lets people include you in their plans. Because a person doesn't get called out, they assume people are busy so they just stay at home bored, while their friend might be thinking the same thing. There are always people in similar situations to you but nothing gets done if you don't let them know, and that's what my app does. It's a catalyst that gets people into action. With enough users, at any time you can check your phone and be provided with several different options of meeting up with friends.

- Simply choose a category icon representing what you want to do

- Write down a status including any additional information e.g. what you want to do, time, place

- Choose to send to all your friends or specific groups that you have created

- Choose to post to Facebook or Twitter

- Chat with friends in each status post

I think Kinetic is a true social network that encourages people to hang out and promotes activeness. We have all these social networks but they don't focus on getting people together. We like people's photos on Facebook, see what they're eating on Instagram but we're still not hanging out with them anymore than before. And the apps that encourage people to meet up are for dating, hook-ups or to randomly find people around them. My app is a positive influence that tries to bring it back to hanging with friends so people don't feel alone. There are a lot of different situations and personalities my app caters for, and people can customize it to what they like. They know exactly what the app is for so they don't have to sift through a huge thread of posts to find the information they need.

Please try out my free app and tell me what you think! Thanks! :o

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SquadronBanana:
Ok, I'd like to start off by apologizing for a stupid post, but i need answers and I think this can help.

So let me explain my problem. I recently tried to download 3 'big' apps from the playstore not realizing I had only about 400 mb left of storage; obviously after I finished the downloads it showed a warning stating that I had insufficient space. I cleared up some space but even after having 4 gb of space, I couldn't download even one though they were only about 1 gb each. I figured that I needed more space so I cleared even more to have 19 gb of space, but the when I tried again, the same error showed up. Out of options, I decided to reset my phone after backing it up, but now even with all this space, the apps that I tried to download while I had no space still show the same error.

Hoping for quick replies or to talk with people who experienced similar problems. Again sorry for the stupid post.

In any case you can try to Clear Cache or Clear Data for your Google Play app.

FAQ

Q: how do I install this mod?

A: flash it from recovery. You need a custom recovery like TWRP, CWM, Philz, etc.

Q: what devices can this be used on?

A: any LG G2 variant (d800/d801/d802/d803/d804/d805/ls980/vs980)

Q: will this work with my ROM/firmware?

A: any stock or aosp based KitKat firmware should work. If you have troubles, please post here!

Q: is this mod compatible with other audio enhancements (like viper or other equalizers)?

A: yes. It should work with any of them.

Q: does this mod cause distortion?

A: not that I have experienced. If it does for you, please post here! Keep in mind combining other audio enhancers or mods may cause distortion, but you would likely have that distortion just by using the other enhancer or mod alone without this mod.

Q: can you make it louder?

A: this mod should make your headphone volume pretty loud, but if it's still not enough and many people ask for louder I might make a secondary zip to increase it further.

Q: the zip file only has a META-INF folder! Where's the modified mixer_paths.xml?

-or-

Q: can I extract the zip and install it manually?

A: the zip actually modifies YOUR mixer_paths.xml so that it's only changing a few values and not completely overwriting whatever comes with your firmware. Because of this you can only install by flashing the zip.

Q: why did you choose 65 for RX1 Digital Volume and RX2 Digital volume? Why did you choose 20 for HPHL Volume and HPHR Volume?

A: on CyanogenMod (and I believe all aosp based G2 firmware) the highest value that is set anywhere in mixer_paths.xml for RX1/2 is 65. Likewise the highest HPHL/R found is 20. So I applied these values for headphone output which by default has lower values.

Q: what's the difference between RX1/2 and HPHL/R?

A: i believe RX1/2 are the digital volume, and HPHL/R are the analog volume. But I could be wrong.

The idea to modify this setting came from the following threads:

[G2 Android Development] sacredsoul:
All I see inside the folder is the META-INF file...
[G2 Android Development] iXNyNe:
That's all it needs.

When you flash the script doesn't replace your existing mixer_paths.xml with a new one, just modifies the one your firmware provides.

Here is the code for the 1.2 updater-binary

#!/sbin/sh

RECOVERY_SCRIPT_FD=$2
set -o pipefail

ui_print() {
echo "ui_print $1" > /proc/self/fd/$RECOVERY_SCRIPT_FD
echo "ui_print" > /proc/self/fd/$RECOVERY_SCRIPT_FD
}

mount /system
mount -o rw,remount /system

x=''
y=''
sed -i -e "s/$x/$y/g" /system/etc/mixer_paths.xml
ui_print "Digital Volume set to 65"

x=''
y=''
sed -i -e "s/$x/$y/g" /system/etc/mixer_paths.xml
ui_print "Headphone Volume set to 20"

exit $?

Which reminds me I should have changed the print line to also mention the digital volume being set to 65.

Edit: never mind, it does on a different line, it's too early and I haven't had enough coffee yet.

[G2 Android Development] iXNyNe:
I'll be experimenting with a second mod to increase the speaker volume today. Any volunteers to test?

Edit

Well the first experiment just lead to lots of distortion setting the speaker to 70. The stock speaker volume is satisfactory to me without modifying it, so I was only testing for my curiosity. It seems like ~65 is as loud as the speaker should be set (and it already is on aosp based firmware, and probably stock too).

I won't be making a speaker volume mod unless requested. If you really want it, send me your /system/etc/mixer_paths.xml file.

This mod is amazing made my headphones and portable speaker sound so much better i used to hate ASOP because of the poor sound quality but this boosts it and then some! Ive tried it on a few ASOP 4.4.2 ROMS and works perfect everytime using it on carbon rom atm good work!
[G2 Android Development] johnnydirteen:
THX Its perfect with CloudyPro II Rom
[G2 Android Development] iXNyNe:
1.3 released!

I experimented with higher values and found 6520 to be the best for our devices. (This was the default in 1.2)

I also added 6218 for lower volume increase.

And now I've added a speaker 65 zip. The speaker only has one value to play with (headphone has 2). My firmware already had the speaker set to 64 (I think) so I really only made the zip for others who have a firmware with a lower value. Anything higher than 65 caused distortion for me, so I'm going to stick with 65 for the releases.

[G2 Android Development] iXNyNe:
It might. This really depends on if you have other audio mods or if your firmware maintainer tried to do do something stupid with the values.

Try the 6520 zip and see how it goes.

I would recommend for testing purposes you should start with your headphone volume a bit lower than usual.

Let us know how it works out.

I used 6520 when i play on full and one step lower volume sound starts clipping but not so distorted. I didnt try 6218 though but should be better I think.
