[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Disturbed_One:
As my title states, no idea what happened to my settings menu.

I'm "stock" rooted. (Did it back in December with odin flash - 4.3)

Firewalled, Greenified, and TitaniumBackup to Freeze useless apps.

Everything has been great, then all of a sudden I was getting 3 errrors.

Google Text to Speech, Maps and Settings all quit working. (The whole, unfortunately *blank* has stopped working)

I removed Text to Speech, but Settings still crashes and refuses to work and now Maps took it's place (T2S).

Removed Maps and still Settings does not work and will randomly crash in the background.

I have done nothing new from what I described I have already done above.

Nothing was newly frozen. I have never uninstall any stock apps, just freeze them.

Last thing I uninstalled was a GoSMS theme I no longer use. Uninstalled it through ROM Toolbox Pro as I saw it was running in the background.

Everything else appears to be working fine. Camera, Chrome, Texting, Calling and my various daily apps.

Just something with the settings "app" has gone all wrong.

It also appears it's not the entire settings. Like if I go to about phone, it's all good. If I go to display part of the settings, *crash*

Two other odd issues pertaining to this as well:

My assistive light widget no longer works. So I know this happened within a 24 hour period as I use that light nearly every day.

And when you get into the settings part of the phone, all the text / font is screwed up. (Pic attached to see what I'm talking about)

Assistive light widget shows the same messed up text as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Frank Westlake:
Data corruption. It will spread. The easiest and most successful solution is to wipe data, system, cache, and Dalvik cache, then re-flash the stock firmware, then re-root.

If you don't want it that successful you can do the wipes and restore a backup, but there is always a chance that there was corruption saved in the last backup and in a few days it will be as it is now.

What caused the corruption? It could be anything from a bad USB cable to a nearby flash of lightening, but more likely it's whatever you do that you need root for.

Frank
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Disturbed_One:
I would believe that was the issue if it was more wide spread.

Or I was having stability issues in daily usage.

The phone only gets charged via usb, I have not hooked it up to a computer for some time.

No storms or surges recently either.

As far as root usings, nothing has changed or updated recently. And none of what I do hard changes anything.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kabuk1:
Reflash. Much faster and easier than wracking your brain trying to track down what exactly little thing went wrong.

Ok folks, Here is Clockworkmod Recovery with Swipe enabled for your Grand 2. ;)

Note: No one but yourself is responsible for what you do to your device. ;)

People to Thank

koush - for his awesome recovery.

Shabbypenguin - For firguring out it was missing the dtb. ;)

bailboxer - for providing needed dumps and contacting me. ;)

Known Issues

doesnt boot due to qcom boot security.

Post and let me know!!!

How to install with Odin

(USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer

Start Odin3-vX.X.exe

Click the PDA button, and select cwm-grand2.tar

Put your phone in download mode (turn off phone, then hold VolDown+Home+Power to boot - if it asks you to press a button to continue, press the listed button, or run adb reboot download command)

(USB) Connect the phone to your computer

Make sure Repartition is NOT checked

Click the Start button

Wait for Android to boot

Done (if it took you more than 30 seconds, you goofed)

NOTE: Sometimes the device does *not* boot into recovery mode. Just do the entire procedure again if this happens. If it still will not install, make sure that in Odin "Auto Reboot" is not checked. Then after flashing, pull the battery, and boot with VolUp+Home+Power button to boot into recovery manually. This will start the install process.

cwm not working

it doesn't boot.. not working :(
[Galaxy Grand 2 General] PlayfulGod:
what does it do?

tar removed for now so no one else installs it.
[Galaxy Grand 2 General] pearlborpuzari:
The recovery doesn't boot.. It gets redirected to download mode.

Probably because of secured bootloader..

Safestrap might work!!..
[Galaxy Grand 2 General] Rakesh251:
so before we flash we do to remove cwm recovery from the tar file? or we flash this tar? .. and also where is the stock recovery ? if this cwm not work we can get back to the stock recovery.

reply very soon
[Galaxy Grand 2 General] pearlborpuzari:
if u are flashing it using Odin u must use .tar!!!

as i have mentioned above the cwm recovery doesn't boot..

if u have already lost the stock recovery here is the link to download

To install follow the same method suggested by PlayfulGod

but replace cwm-grand2.tar with the file downloaded
[Galaxy Grand 2 General] Rakesh251:
any one succeeded to boot:confused:
[Galaxy Grand 2 General] PlayfulGod:
Just was informed that this device appears to be locked down with knox. Knox is Samsungs latest locking method. Some devices with knox dont restrict booting modded boot images (boot/recovery) and some are locked down tighter than grannies panties. The Grand 2 seems to be locked down. :(
[Galaxy Grand 2 General] pearlborpuzari:
Thanks

Thanks for your efforts.. :)

hope some day we could break Knox security layer :good:
[Galaxy Grand 2 General] balliboxer:
There is no knox security in system and in bootloader like in note2 , S4 and S5 devices .Those devices has knox trip indicator in download mode luckily our device don't has that indicator .Also our device root is supported by [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] .It's just the qualcomm secure boot that restrict any custom recovery and kernel to work in our device .The safestrap recovery can work only if some recognised dev can help us out .
[Galaxy Grand 2 General] PlayfulGod:
I'll investigate more. ;)
[Galaxy Grand 2 General] balliboxer:
Please do investigate we r all here to test ur upcoming builds .

Hey!

The place where I bought my phone won't give me an exchange since I don't have the cardboard inside of the box. I only have the blue part of it (o2).

PLEASE If anyone has the CARDBOARD interior of the box, I will gladly pay you for it. I have a 750$ dopod 818 pro that DOESN'T work with WIFI!!!!!

THANK YOU, please!
[General Topics] fluffcat1:
Tell them to take the carboard out of your new unit! That sounds like a BAD shop to buy from - why not name and shame them here?

Richard
[General Topics] couchpotato7:
Nah, its being exchanged for a different line of product since this is my 3rd bad unit.

PLEASE, DO YOU HAVE ONE?

I AM ON MY KNEES HERE AND POWERLESS AGAINST THIS CRUMMY SHOP!

[Ornate TrueSmart] mklopez:
Using: EnSec Enhanced Security + Operative w TWRP. WP8 Launcher

I checked the "Always show statusbar" option in Swipe Status Bar. It works, shows the status bar constantly, BUT... Now I can't launch any applications except for the ones that are linked in the main launcher screen. When I swipe right to the drawer, tapping any app has no effect. It seems like it's blocking applications from either detecting screen taps or opening at all.

Even in the few I can launch, like Settings, it doesn't detect when I tap any of the menu options. I can scroll up and down, and pull down the status bar, but I cant make the SSB control panel open again to disable the option.

I tried booting into safe mode, but it still launches SSB so the problem persists. I tried changing to Smart Launcher, same problem.

Is there any way to prevent Swipe Status Bar from starting up?
[Ornate TrueSmart] kilroo:
Same problem here, except I stayed in the SSB settings long enough to discover that unchecking that check box again is one of the things that having it checked prevents you from doing. Long story short, I think this has probably made the decision for me whether or not to switch from EnSec+Operative to Loki's new ROM...because I am not sure there's any way out of this without flashing.
[Ornate TrueSmart] GADGTGUY:
I had the same issue,

Only thing I could do was open up play store and uninstall.

It took forever to figure it out and took many tries till it finally registered my clicking.

If all else fails, you may need to wipe the watch via recovery and start over.

I have since stopped using the app as I never want to go through that nightmare again. ;)

D.
[Ornate TrueSmart] Lokifish Marz:
Now your only options are to either factory reset in TWRP or flash back to stock and start over.
[Ornate TrueSmart] kilroo:
Bummer.

Not sure the quote was relevant.

Should have checked the app's page when I saw that feature though:

...Granted, it doesn't mention anything else not working, but that would probably have been enough to keep me from experimenting, even though it still wouldn't have led me to think that checking the box would make it impossible to uncheck the box...

---------- Post added at 09:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:27 PM ----------

Found another way!

...For those who are remotely comfortable with adb, anyhow.

adb shell 'pm clear cz.chladek.swipe_status_bar'

This is essentially a force-stop and clear app data on Swipe Status Bar. Only works if you already had usb debugging enabled or find a way to enable it, of course.
[Ornate TrueSmart] mklopez:
Thanks for the tip Kilroo, but it was too late for me. I went TWRP and wiped it. Yeah, it cost me a lot of customizations gone, but at least I didnt hand anything there that wasn't backed to the cloud.

One silver lining: Now I get to rebuild the launcher, icons, widgets etc in a bit more usable form. AND I'm staying away from that SWB setting until is out of beta! Thanks for the help, all!
[Ornate TrueSmart] kilroo:
I was afraid of that. Well, maybe if anyone else makes the same mistake it will help them.

I'm still trying to figure out whether I want to go from EnSec+Operative to the new Unified Rom doohickey or not, since I no longer have to redo everything regardless.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manzano25:
it personal, I have a problem on my phone, I do not know what happens ... well, I'm very fuçado it once and lost my IMEI and he was in factory format then I sent a guy writes me imei , then I took the factory format, however the serial number was 0000000 then I googled and found the ariza and intalei, worked for a long time without any problem, however now he speaks of nothing but that was already removed .... done everything and now I put the modem ariza and a script and now it is only missing the sign and turning, but does not say that removed the sim, but that are unable to stock rom, however I love the by cyanogen Please help me because I am distressed about this, the modem I'm using is the i9300XXUGMK6 and script in init.d sorry by text because I'm using a translator because I am Brazilian.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doverjosh8:
Hello mate,

Are you basically saying you lost your sim?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manzano25:
basically yes, already tried everything I found on the Internet and nothing to solve, even thought it was a physical problem, because once I was very nervous and threw up on the floor and made a small spot on the LCD, but after all that did he stopped but it is losing the signal, but when I take the chip even then he warns that without this chip so discartei the physical problem, and was not even on the same day that gave trouble was a few weeks later and I believe it has acid coincidence
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Take it to a repair centre.

Questions go in the q&a forum. Report your own post and ask a moderator to move it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manzano25:
If I understood correctly I have read the posts before opening a new one, however I already read both xda and fix so many problems, but this still can not solve and already a while since I've been looking and so far found nothing, if have a post for my problem that I have not done I thank you and I apologize, because xda is very good and has so much information that can be left up to spend and what would solve me.

Hi!

This is my first adventure in android development, a simple memory game inpired in memes, and some game modes to make it a little different.

I bring here the 1.3 version, where all the mechanics I planned are fully working and hopefully is bug free. Next updates are planned to add more content (more achievements, memes and make some optimization -I have to research about that-).

Features:

-Memes theme with original content

-3 game modes with different goals (classic, time trial, challenge)

-5 difficulty levels

-Achievements system (29 at the moment)

-Pause button just added in 1.3 version

Feedback is really apreciated

I have a lot to learn about android but I'm so excited with all posibilities

well, the game got some interface changes and now it's ready for tablets.

I think this game is enough polished to call it a finished game.

Thanks for your support.
[Samsung Gear 2] mrmrmrmr:
Hi,

Is there a way to disable or mute shutter sound of the camera (of the Gear2) ?

Thx.
[Samsung Gear 2] henklbr:
Why? Do you want to make (silent) pictures in toilets or public showers?

NO, this is NOT possible and even prohibited in some countries! I don't think there will be an update to enable this!

By the way: you know this forum has a SEARCH-function? If you had used it, you probably found that there was already a thread about this!

Camera shutter sound...
[Samsung Gear 2] mrmrmrmr:
hell, yes ! How did you know my intention :)

Actually, I want to take pictures without the shutter sound. I can't disclose my purpose here.

Thanks for pointing me to the correct thread. I hadn't searched for the thread but I've gone through all the forums under "Gear 2" and didn't see that one. sorry...
[Samsung Gear 2] mrmrmrmr:
Btw, I don't care if it is prohibited or not. There are too many prohibited things which we find a hole to un-prohibit on this forum. Shutter sound is not an exception.

ps. : Don't worry I am not interested in your nude pictures in the toilet. but if I was, I wouldn't use Gear 2. There are smaller devices for that purpose.
[Samsung Gear 2] mrmrmrmr:
I found a camera app in the SDK sample apps. Maybe I can check that and remove shutter sound if possible...
[Samsung Gear 2] EVOme:
WHY the hell do you CARE why people want it to be muted? The same reason you want vibrate as I told you before. There are time when it's quiet and you don't want to hear a shutter sound.
[Samsung Gear 2] expatriate:
For example photographing a sleeping baby. Not sutter sound needed and wanted.

Any suggestions? I am looking as well.
[Samsung Gear 2] mrmrmrmr:
I tried to compile the camera sample app in the Tizen wearable SDK.

unfortunately, I couldn't compile.

open to any ideas...
[Samsung Gear 2] Breach:
I just built it and ran it on the emulator with no issues. It did you use my laptop camera for the emulator.

If it built, but you couldn't transfer it, it's probably a permission/signature issue.
[Samsung Gear 2] mrmrmrmr:
I have built it now. but when I try to install with sdb.exe I get an error.

Have you tried installing on the Gear 2 ?
[Samsung Gear 2] mrmrmrmr:
There is now an easy way to disable camera shutter sound:

Disable camera sounds
[Samsung Gear 2] expatriate:
can anyone confirm?
[Samsung Gear 2] delcopa:
Yes works great! Been removing sounds since the orig gear.
[Samsung Gear 2] mrmrmrmr:
Hi,

On the Gear 2 gallery app, when I view a photo, there is a "Share" button in the menu.

But that is always disabled.

I wonder what that button is for and how to activate it.

Any ideas ?

Thx.

I'd appreciate any ideas...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] txinstrument34:
I would like to know if anyone could tell me if it would be possible to port this to SGS4. this phone had its own app of the same sort with the mirrorlink support built in but it seems samsung has decided not continue with their development of it. Could someone possibly let me know what dependencies there are for the app and if it would be possible at all. Thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] a0-0b:
Just looking at the various Tytn models while patiently waiting for T-Mobile to release theirs. CS told me 21st Aug, but the forum seem to think it's 16th (which makes me happier).

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Versions

(scroll down for pics)

Is it just me or is the T-Mobile the ugliest version ... followed closely by orange ... ...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bigshape:
yep! i agree the t-mobile burgandy version is deffinately the worst by a mile.

i don't actually mind the orange version although i would like to see a picture of it with the keyboard open.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Osir1s:
ask and thou shalt recieve

M3100 keyboard open.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bigshape:
haha! thanks!

i like it.

i'm actually very tempted to get the orange version over the t-mobile - mainly due to the colour 'issue' :lol:

who cares about the cost of data anyway? :roll:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] a0-0b:
Looks like we have a clear winner!

I wonder if the results will be any different if the Vario II is available in other colors. It seems to have a different button layout from the others.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skytbest:
I'm on Clean ROM 8.1 which is a 4.3 TW rom. I'm wondering if I can make my pull-down toggles in the status bar look like the AOSP (from CM at least) ones? Anyone know a way to do this?

Thanks!

Bonus: It would be super awesome if there was a way to get the entire status bar and pull-down area to look like AOSP. Not sure if this is possible, maybe through some Xposed module? If anyone knows of anything that would be great!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BattsNotIncld:
I think the closest you're gonna get is is Team Bandit's Theme. It should be compatible with CleanROM however I would check first with the devs.

Unfortunately there's no real way to theme stock TW on the fly. You either have to wait for someone to release a theme or download a themeable ROM like Alliance. Even then it will never look 100% like AOSP.

edit: apparently xposed does have a theme engine. I'm not very familiar with xposed though so I can't give you information on that.
