More bloat

Hopefully everyone has seen the article on the most recent OTA. More apps to disable because AT&T must think it's funny to push more bloatware OTA and label it as an update. Seriously what are they thinking? Is there actually some marketing strategist that is so out of touch with the real world as to think that people want this crap? It boggles the mind really that senior leadership and marketing does not troll XDA for ideas that would actually help them succeed in product management. The 1st carrier to the gate with a device that comes with nothing but vanilla android, is not boot locked, or in any other way hindered for root would (I predict) gain a 10% market share inside of 30 days. Business 101....cater to the majority ESPECIALLY when no one else is. fu***** idiots!!!

At any rate this is the only email address I have at the moment for At&t. I suggest we flood them with emails with "ATTN. Randall L. Stephenson, Ralph De La Vega" in the subject line

Greenify still works without root. Matter of fact, Greenify is awesome with this phone. There are settings on the phone just for Greenify. Just install it from the playstore and follow instructions. When I tried to hibernate an app, Greenify showed me a way to enable something within the phone firmware (Really interesting) It works great !!!!

Hey I turned off a bunch of Samsung bloat but recently wanted to try out s-note, I turned on the Samsung app store and downloaded it but when I try to create a new note it force quits? Are there any other apps I need to turn on that might fix this problem? (Already tried deleting cache/data)

I ended up turning all Samsung related apps on since their apps have a lot of dependencies built in and would get prompted to run in the background.

Has anyone tried disabling (via Turn Off) the stock Messaging app? (com.android.mms) I use Hangouts as my default sms/mms app, but I've noticed Messaging still shows up in the list of apps using up my battery - not a lot, but still.. Wakelock Detector shows the usage as being for "new message notification LCD on", so I wanted to check first. I don't care whether my screen turns on when I receive text messages, I usually just look to see if the LED is flashing blue or not instead of waking up the screen anyway (I have an AT&T Note 3, rooted on stock 4.4.2).

I have a T-Mobile Galaxy S3 (SGH-T999). I installed Cyanogenmod 11 on it using Odin, etc. After a while I tried to revert back to stock t-mobile/S3 rom, but I messed up something and my S3 is stuck on a glowing "Samsung" logo. I tried a few things without success.

I could spend a lot of time trying to fix this (and maybe I will try a few more things), but is there a service available that will fix these kinds of issues for a reasonable price?

The KK update is available for my 8.3 now (USA). I've never used KK on any device, so I'm not certain on what it brings to the table for a device like this.

I'm assuming updating will kill my root. If so, is there a method for keeping it or re-rooting?

It seems like there are issues with the update. Is it the recommendation of those who have updated to stick with 4.2.2 JB?

Updating with root in place may not work and may cause problems. The IORoot method will let you root the 4.4 release based upon what I have read. The safest approach would be to either go all custom (install custom recovery, update to a 4.4.2 custom stock rom), or revert back to stock and then upgrade before rooting and then root once you have updated to 4.4 using the IORoot method.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BriKeD:

I'm having KK and it's work very well.

I can vouch for this. Don't try updating with root. It put me in a TWRP boot loop. Fortunately, the LG Mobile Tool rescued it. Long process that would have been better spent unrooting and re-rooting after update.

I think you should update to kit Kat update. It brings many new features, Plus you get new LG on screen keyboard themes, and the transparent when using other third-party launchers. And security fixes. So why staying on old jelly bean?
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ASW1:
Because it's not possible to have a proper recents key in the navbar in kitkat, and you can in JB.

Why? In any case, you can just install G2 Xposed if it is really important to you.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hugo-PT:
Yes, I lost root. :( I root again using the IORoot method. Here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48709232
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ASW1:
It's important to me because I switch apps a lot, and long press actions are just no substitute for a proper recents key.

In stock 4.4.2 the G2 exposed module does no longer provide a recents key, nor does any of the other modules.

And since I also want to keep qremote the other kitkat roms are not an option. In fact, for those reasons I downgraded back to stock 4.2.2

If I would have to choose between having qremote and a recents key, I'd probably sacrifice qremote.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Subtleone:
You are wrong. I have stock KK, I have G2 Xposed installed and I have a recents button.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ASW1:
That is very strange, because I'm not the only one reporting that it doesn't work under kitkat anymore.

Definitely doesn't work here.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Subtleone:
Are you sure you installed it properly? You see, when I gave the advice, it was after installing and testing it. So it was not a suggestion to attempt, but to solve. Here is

exactly

what I did:

1) Download G2 Xposed (I have the paid full version, and do not know if the Navigation Bar options are limited to it). A new version was released a day or two ago BTW.

2) Installed and opened it. It now asks to download and install the Xposed Framework. I did so and it downloads latest.apk (also a new version).

3) I install it and it asks to reboot. I do so immediately. I do not activate the G2 Xposed yet.

4) After rebooting, I open G2 Xposed and it now asks me to activate the mod. I click the button, and activate the mod. It now asks me to reboot again. I first turn on the Navigation Bar options, and change the number of buttons to four, but do not set the buttons as I cannot yet. Now I reboot.

5) After rebooting I enter G2 Xposed and enter the Navigation Bar options. I set the buttons and bingo.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ASW1:
Yes.

Thanks a lot for your thorough description, but I've used the purchased version of G2 Xposed already to my satisfaction for quite some time on 4.2.2.

I am not the only one having problems with it under 4.4.2

if you read on for a page or so here (from post #69 onwards) you can see others report that navbar customization fails in kitkat.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2528304&page=7

The only thing I can think of is that I did not take the official OTA but flashed the rom instead.

I'm not sure if this could make any difference. I have flashed both V50018 and V50020 roms and navbar customization had no effect on either.

So I went back to my 4.2.2 back up, just for the recents key.

Did you take the OTA or did you flash kitkat?

I'm surprised that it works for you as no-one else reported this in the Xposed thread mentioned above.

Earlier today I even opened a topic asking people whether Xposed navbar changes work or not, and whether they took OTA or flashed, but no responses so far: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2723562
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Subtleone:
As stated in my sig, I am using the flashed version of the leaked V50018 KK. You might wish to update both G2 Xposed (April 14 build) and the Xposed Framework (April 17 build or later). I absolutely guarantee you it is working here.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ASW1:
You convinced me that it is possible to get the navbar mod, so I uninstalled G2Xposed, reinstalled it, flashed kitkat rom for a third time, and navbar changes are actually working now!

Had some weird issues with the LG keyboard not being there but some reboots and cachewipes later those issues are gone too.

Edit: problems with the keyboard came back and persisted.

Got so fed up I flashed the Rom again, no more keyboard issues now.

The problem with icons for LG apps not showing in Holo launcher persists.

I've heard this happens with all third-party launchers.

Or anyone know a solution for that?
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Subtleone:
I'm glad you were able to solve your navbar frustrations. :good:
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ASW1:
Me too, quite a relief.

I'm convinced though it had nothing to do with the G2 module or version of that, because it was the same for another Xposed module named "G2 TweaksBox" that basically does the same kind of tweaks. That also wasn't working.

Now tell me, do you have the issue with the icons of LG apps too in other launchers?
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Subtleone:
I do not use any other launchers so cannot comment.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] getmealive:
I have this issue where some LG app icons are not visible in other launchers such as Apex launcher, but LG app icons works well on solo launcher and TSF shell 3D launcher.

Hi,

I purchased for my son, a new LG G Pad 8.3. I upgraded to Kitkat 4.4.2 recently.

But, after upgrade, I noticed that I cannot move apps to the external microsd card. This option is enabled in my Samsung Note 8 with 4.2.2 (Jelly Bean).

So, I would like to know:

1) Is there any way to move apps to microsd ? In LG G Pad with 4.2 (Jelly Bean), this option is enabled ?

2) There is some way to restore my 4.2.2 Jelly Bean original firmware ?

Tks in advance.

Best regards,
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hugo-PT:
1°-Yes you can move apps to the external card in 4.2.2 with a few applications on the market. But kitkat is no longer possible due to the restrictions imposed by google.

2°-Yes you can restore to official 4.2.2. Gives a sneak peek here: http://forums.androidcentral.com/lg...ass-lg-support-tools-online-verification.html

So I picked up a stock AT&T active and been using it for a month now. I love the phone but a few annoying things that it does daily on me is really starting to make me want to throw the poor phone! First the screen is way to sensitive sometimes! I try to text and it adds letters or I try to move between my home screens and it will open an app like I tapped on it, but I didn't. Or when I close out my running tasks it will act like I double tapped in that certain area and will open my mail app since it was in that touch zone. Anyhow I have played around with all the settings like "Air View" or "Motions and gestures" under the settings menu. Also the calling contact feature is really pissing me off. Say someone calls me but I miss the call, so I bring up my call log and I tap on the person that called me. It shows the phone icon and usually when you tap that, it suppose to call the person, but no stupid phone goes back to the call log list instead. I have to keep doing this like around 5 to 10 times before the dumb phone will finally decide to call the person! I am running the stock, or at least what came with it, firmware. Android version 4.3 with Baseband of I537UCUBML2. Has anyone else had these issues with this phone? Plus how can I fix this?

The latest firmware update for the AT&T S4 (NB1) does not yet have a direct root method. The obstacles for obtaining root on this phone (S5) and that phone are generally the same.
