[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gcodori:
I figured this would be the better forum as it wasn't a technical q&a as most posts there are. This is more of a personal question and opinions.

I will keep the s3 to hand down to one of the kids. The s3 was a snap to root and flash. I just don't want a repeat of my thunderbolt days of figuring out which roms have the modules baked in, etc.

The bone stock thread was full of people flashing the proper module only to be left in a boot loop.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
You have two simple choices:

1. Stock. No Custom flag.

2. Rooted. Custom flag.

If you're "not a fan" of Custom, then you don't want to be Custom. Flash stock, and be happy.

You can, of course, run various tools that hide the Custom status. Or flash a stock ROM if you ever need to be stock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gcodori:
The part of the padlock I don't like is that it gives the phone a "broken" feeling plus it hangs at the padlock for 10 seconds before it continues to boot.

If there was a tool to remove the padlock and the pause before boot that would be great. Do you have a link?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
I THINK you can use Tri Angle Away on the S3 which should get rid of the padlock screen.

I use it on my S4 which is MDK with a custom recovery no problem. S4's beyond MDK I don't believe it will help... May actually brick the phone so read up and be careful.

If you try it on the S3 .. for best results you need to be on a Touchwiz ROM with a stock kernel. It has worked for me on different ROMs/kernels just it's not guaranteed.

Tri Angle Away is a paid app by Chainfire so again just read up first before spending the cash and or possibly bricking your phone.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
I use Triangle Away on my MK2 phone with no problems. It's important that you do NOT use "Reset flash counter" as I'm pretty sure that will set the Knox Warranty Void flag. What I do use is the "Periodic system modified reset".

There's also wanam xposed - one of the Security modules can reset the system modified status. See the Saferoot thread OP for information on that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Keekers:
I really miss my S3 but I haven't run a custom ROM on the S4 yet. The S3 seemed so much easier to use in regards to everything rooted. I would definitely trade in my S4 if I had the opportunity.

Hello,

I've rooted my device and installed the hellfire Kitkat rom. Since I was not fully satisfied I wanted to go back to stock rom and then install the latest update from LG.

But now the device only boots into recovery (CWM V6.0.4.7)

I can install a backup ROM but when I reboot it enters recovery again.

I tried entering download mode by pressing "volume UP key" and then plugin usb but it enters recovery again.

Can someone help me please?!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cptnsmelly:
I'm going to be cautious replying here because I'm a noob, but did you try using ADB to issue commands through adb sideload in cwm? If you go to "load zip" (or something along those lines) then "load using adb" (or something similar) in CWM, you can use adb to issue these commands with your computer and it should fix it (at least, it fixed a boot loop for me when I was stuck with TWRP). Here's the link:

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PrinceMS:
First of all. DON'T PANIC!

And even before that - make a nandroid backup! Go in CWM and make a full backup.

You have recovery working so you should be able to load System on it ok.

I am not an expert but let me try to guide you step by step.

1. Make a backup!

2. Download a rom on your computer. MAKE SURE ITS FOR YOUR MODEL # of LG G2

List of roms here:

3. Make sure you have over 70% battery

4. Go into recovery CWM

5. Use Wipe > Swipe to Factory Wipe

(go back on bottom right corner)

6. Go Advanced from HOME screen of CWM

7. Click ADB sideload

7b. (I assume you have the drivers loaded. If not make sure ADB is loaded in windows and device manager shows it. Download basic ADB package so you have "adb.exe" file in it)

8. put your rom in the same folder where you have "Adb.exe"

9. Open command prompt on windows. Goto the folder where ADB.exe is. Then Type "adb push (filename) /sdcard/(filename)". Example, "adb push rom.zip /sdcard/rom.zip"

10. Wait until it finishes its transfer(a message will appear saying the filename, file size and the speed of the transfer per sec when it finishes)

11. Wait for a while or reboot your cwm so that the filename will appear

12. just reflash the file in CWM (Install > choose file). Wipe after again.

13. Voila!

Same thing happened to me. Turns out I slightly damaged the battery during removal and after replacing the battery it worked fine.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cimdrap:
i had two possible solutions in my mind: 1) battery replace; 2) i never believed in battery calibration, but there is something that makes misread the right battery level on the device, so it arrives under the security low level. Indeed the battery never arrives to 0% because the device shut off before to protect the battery polarity even we see the 0% on the status bar. But for some reason the device can't perceive the right battery percentage and keeps the phone alive believing it is at about 15% or such.....when the battery is near at the "real" 0% its voltage is lower and the device reacts like this at lower voltages (just like people suffering ghost touch while using chinese low quality chargers). Then i tried to calibrate the battery (just wiping batterystats file) forcing the system to recreate it from scratch. I know it should happen automatically at reboot, but maybe this wasn't happening because since i calibrated the battery i reache the 2% without problems. Maybe it's just a case....will keep testing (damn! maybe i found a solution 5 minutes after i ordered a new battery on ebay!!!!) :rolleyes:

Hi guys!

I'm currently on the 4.3.1. CM, but I'm really disappointed by the camera app as it has no HDR and the video is stuttering. Focal doesn't work for me either because it crashes a lot.

I'd like to add the original Samsung camera app, but after some research I found out, that it is not possible to add it without the TouchWiz framework.

I had a look in the ROM sections but couldn't find a ROM that has the TouchWIZ framwork combined with CM.

Maybe that isn't even possible? If so could someone point me to a fast and stable TouchWiz-based ROM as the camera is one of my main priorities on my phone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madvillain91:
Maybe without Touchwiz ( It's not my favorite one )

Restore the nandroid backup that you made before starting to flash a new ROM. On the off chance that you didn't make a backup. Try getting into fastboot mode and use the wugfresh NRT back to stock and unroot option with softbricked ticked or follow the stickies guide on flashing a factory image.

Update For Moto G GPE, support has not been obtained/confirmed, see post 2.

For other Qualcomm settings see post 5.

Update: Activity Launcher is the clear winner for creating the Qualcomm shortcut!

Edit: Many report they do not need this & it works as is.

This mod is for any users on 442 Vzw (& maybe some others) which is my only test build. Root is not needed. Ultra support is included. ATT & others have had it on 442 but on Vzw, I never had OTG support until I did this mod!

Now that the QC app has fixed My OTG I can set OTG to none and it still works! Lol! Go figure!

This is, at least, a stock/rootless solution. The OTG/UsbDisk is now system wide! /storage/UsbDisk! Root Explorer/Explorer (free)!

You need to create a shortcut to qualcomm settings.

The: com.qualcomm.qualcommsettings.apk is in your system/app!

I use Super Manager donation. The free version works too.

Apk manager:

3-dot menu

Filter sys & installed app

Sys app only

Long press on any file to select sort by display name

Scroll to com.qualcomm.qualcommsettings, tap!

Choose activity button,

.QualcommSettings

The gear: launches the activity,

The arrow creates a shortcut on homescreen.

The standard issue "Documents" apk browses UsbDisk too, but this stock app is also not available w/o a shortcut creation via QuickShortcut: Edit Documents is not reliable as a user started file browser. It works as a system/file uploader only.

Then enable usb mass storage and OTG mode - peripheral. The usb will get reset but there is no need to keep it on. OTG mode sticks. I did both. You should too!

Done.

Use Your favorite filer app to browse: /storage/UsbDisk. Permissions will be rwx+.

You have a new mount/unmount option in settings/storage:

Be sure to use (^ above button) the unmount command as forgetting you have a write operation in progress and yanking out the otg adapter can trash your SD card!

You may use many apps to browse your new /storage/UsbDisk, this is a good one.

No need to download the attached apk. It is in your system apps already. But some custom ROMs may not have it.

More info? About other QC settings.
[Moto X General] aviwdoowks:
