Hello,

I've been reading for this question but found no answer. I took the OTA Verizon Kitkat update on my S4. It works fine, but phone looks almost the same as to Jelly Bean. My question is: don't we get the characteristic Kitkat launcher and wallpapers? Is it because of TW? If I want to have the Kitkat look, do I have to install a third-party launcher? I apologize if dumb question, but found no answer.

:confused:

Thanks in advance...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
That's all aosp KitKat and has nothing to do with what tw KitKat looks like. If you want that launcher you can search for gel launcher online or use a third party from the play store. You can get KitKat wallpapers anywhere
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] znube63:
Thank you very much Joshm for the quick reply. I'll do that....:good:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JuiceStain:
So, after I updated my Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505 (international) to Android 4.4.2, the Micro-SD card directory changed and now no apps can recognize it at all. I've tried flashing different roms such as the Google Play Edition rom, AOKP, Cyanogenmod, and none of them fixed the problem. The new directory is:

/storage/sdcard1

instead of:

/mnt/media-rw/SD card

Is there a way to move the SD card directory back to /mnt/media-rw/SD card? If there isn't, is there another way to fix this problem?

I'm rooted and currently running AOKP. Sorry if this is a stupid question.

Thanks!
[Nook Touch General] 09mysh:
Hello everyone

I am trying to acheive the right method for mapping hardware keyboard. Usb host works perfectly, always does what it should on firmware 1.21 with nook manager, kernel version 176. I found some polish keychar kcm file on the net, then I renamed that file with right vendor and product id for my keyboard (terminal, keyboard connected in host mode, typed: lsusb) and placed it in system/usr/keychars... But that didn't make any effect on keyboard mapping, looks like that file is ignored. I could try to edit qwerty.kl in system/usr/keylayouts but from what I know, you cant add there symbols like "ą" or "ś". What I am going for is just these few polish letters : Ą,Ę,Ś,Ó,Ż,Ź. Normally you get them by pressing modifier (alt) and for example, " A", what gives you "Ą" etc. Usb mode ultilty, and little app avaible on net - Key Test, both will show you the same keycode when you pressing a letter or letter+modifier. That makes hard to find out how to edit keylayout file (qwerty.kl) as you cant guess that needed keycode. I was looking quite a lot for answers on xda before I decided to ask, but what I finds does'nt look like exact sollutions. Hopefully I didn't miss anything. Adb is working fine for me, any hints appreciated, Thanks
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Step one, determine what .kl and kcm.bin the Nook is trying to load.

You will see this if you have ADB and logcat running when you connect.

It will try to load one based on the VID/PID.

It will tell you the exact name of the file.

Probably your naming is different.

I ran into this already.

I didn't bother, I just use qwerty.kl and qwerty.kcm.bin

These are the defaults when there is no VID/PID specific files.

If your kcm.bin is correct it should have the UTF-16 values inside.

The format is pretty simple. After the header (32 bytes) it's like:

{
uint32 keycode;
uint16 label;
uint16 keypad;
uint16 normal;
uint16 shifted;
uint16 alt;
uint16 altshifted;
}

You can just enter the little-endian UTF-16 values using a hex editor.
[Nook Touch General] 09mysh:
Ok I got it! It is easy to find some proper tutorials for hex editing qwerty.kcm. But before I did that effort and started learning about it, I searched for some very lazy sollution: qwerty.kcm.bin already prepared by someone else. I found one (obviosly with polish layout),I swapped the original file with it, set the permissions to be the same as in original file, reboot (don't know if absolutely necessary)... thats it, easy. All that thanks to some hard working man who (as he has mentioned on other forum) spent the whole night learning on how to edit qwerty.kcm in hex editor.

Anyway, thank you very much for directing me in the right way. Knowing which files should be edited helped me to resolve the problem. Also logcat is very interesting tool, as it might give some image of how the system works. Thanks
[Nook Touch General] bartbrudz:
hi, I have the same problem but i can't find the qwerty.kcm.bin with polish letters. Could you provide the file ??
[Nook Touch General] 09mysh:
Hi, I'll try to copy it from my nook directory, once I have some time.
[Nook Touch General] 09mysh:

[Nook Touch General] bartbrudz:
Awesome!!! works perfectly. :victory: Thank U !!!
[Nook Touch General] 09mysh:
cool, I am glad I could help! : ) (although real credits goes to someone who created this qwerty.kcm file) :)

[HTC Desire X] CurtisMJ:
This is sadly out of the scope of an app. Apps are not allowed the keep the touchscreen active without turning on the screen(the default kernel shuts down the entire panel together), that's why you'll always find S2W is a kernel feature, not an app. It seems that everyone wants this for CM though, I'll fetch the sources and see what I can do, though afaik, fozzy should already be porting it.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Churchryn:
Hello, I was wondering if anyone else encountered an issue after installing the 4.4 leak. The install of the ROM and firmware go fine, however, once the phone boots for the first time it will just randomly restart. I can never get it to replicate doing the same steps. It can do it before I even do the initial setup, after the setup when doing basic tasks, or can restart back to back for a while.

I am using the Deodexed version and have even tried to Odin back to stock 4.3, get root, install safestrap and try again fresh.

The one thing I did notice, is after I install the ROM I get the "Custom" padlock on the Note 3 splash screen, I didn't see that in the video I watched.

Is my phone just messed up? Or is there something I am missing?

I have tried removing my SIM and SD card with no luck. I am back on 4.3 right now but would love to be on 4.4. I do not experience the restarts on 4.3.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Guys,

First of all this is not aimed at anyone in particular... it's for all to read.

It's obvious that something is going on in the Dev section concerning the Sense 6 roms ported from the M8..... I have no idea what it is and I have no wish to know.

However when these things kick off as they do from time to time it is not Developers or Contributors that are affected.... it's us, the users of the roms etc. XDA is supposed to be a community and is supposed to be about sharing so isn't it time that everybody shares their stuff... there are enough users out there for all of your work to be enjoyed and appreciated.

Please guys, let's all behave as a community and give all a chance to enjoy the many varied and good things that you Devs and Contributors give to us.

Thank you.
[One (M7) General] zelendel:
This is what happens when people are more worried about their Ego then anything else. Nothing we can do about it. As developers are allowed to keep their own work to themselves and not share it with others. This is the reason many refuse to use OEM based roms or prefer to take the base rom and make their own for personal use.

Ill be honest. This is the main reason I dropped Sense and am on my last OEM-non-nexus device.

Nothing can really be done about it.
[One (M7) General] biohaz55:
I fear you are right but I felt something needs to be said as this keeps happening.
[One (M7) General] jotha:
Unfortunately Sense "Development" has left the "From us to you" level in many areas since quite some time and has reached a stage where all that counts is "I am out earlier with my rom", " I have more users", "My thread has more posts", "My p.... is longer". Ok, not the last, but you get the point.

So, as long as this does not change again, there is no such thing as a "Dev-community" in Sense development.

Sad as it may be, from time to time this kind of development has unavoidable consequences and the users are sometimes suffering from "collateral damage". That's the bitter truth and could only be changed by a change of attitude by some devs.

Just my 2cts.
[One (M7) General] zelendel:
And it will as long as people keep needing an ego boost. That is all it is. They want to say they have the best, most mods, fastest, ect rom.

And to be honest. There is nothing done to OEM roms that are really that impressive. If they wanted to HTC could come in and stop all of them in one shot.
[One (M7) General] biohaz55:
That was the reason for the post in the hope that it may make some think a little more.

[One (M7) General] O_G:
Unfortunately this has become the state of affairs. In the end its down to the individual devs if they share their work. I do see some great things happening in the way of development, its just a shame resources cant be pulled together, then something truly fantastic may emerge, But until people stop putting their ego in front of development progress and community spirit, nothing will change.

Its all about, hey look what we did, aint it cool. Rather than, lets work together as a community and make a difference.

[One (M7) General] Perry2547:
I gotta chime in here with my .98 cents worth.

It's not just some stuff at xda. We're talking about innovation in all of tech being affected by a particular spirit.

Think about it. Apple has 147 billion dollars in unused capital but they won't make it happen as far as getting swipe gestures on their ios keyboard.

Android has so many attitude problems as well. You can get one device and it has certain strengths and certain flaws. Then a different device will have the things that are currently missing in your device, but it will be lacking the good things your current device already has.

Things like planned obsolescence, data caps, expensive smartphones with faulty displays, over heated batteries, on and on and on.

Whether it be Apple, msoft, or Google...none realize that they're about to kill the golden goose.

Some of us will just throw up our hands and say " to hell with you all" , and just hang on to whatever device we currently have for much longer than we'd like to. Because, just as soon as you upgrade, there's a slightly newer and better spec-bump version.

Unfortunately, Camera has stopped.

I love that you started this thread OP :) Maybe some folks will realize their ways and change.
[One (M7) General] jotha:
And it's not new, nor confined to Sense. I remember when I made skins for MobileShell on Windows Mobile there were guys who refused to share basic knowledge just to have a headstart. It was simple xml, no high-end coding, so nothing that would earn you fame and fortune. And that was in 2008 or so...

It's just an ego thing and it will always be here. So the limits have to be set from time to time obviously to keep things stright and under control.
[One (M7) General] troby86:
In my opinion there is an issue with "credit" and "permission"...example, if a developer ports a ROM over from another device, well done. But does that mean the developer owns that port, to me, no, because it's still HTC files used to get that port working. Should it be required to ask for permission to use that port? NO. However, it should be required to CREDIT the person who got the port working. But asking permission makes it seem as if you own something, which you don't. This is the problem I see. Permission should not be required on XDA at all, only a requirement to credit someone. If they are expecting permission, they should take their stuff off XDA, and go elsewhere, because I know for a fact that none of the developers asked HTC if they could use M8 files to create an M7 port, and I'm sure HTC doesn't care, but for some reason these developers care way too much.
[One (M7) General] O_G:
I cant really agree with this. First off, asking permission is polite, its the reaction to that request that is the issue. If the request is reasonable and for the benefit of the community, i would like to think any devoted member/dev would be willing to share the knowledge. Chances are, that dev picked up a lot of knowledge from this very forum beforehand, so not to share prevents this circle of knowledge. Credit, is just a given.

I also have to say your simplified way of "porting" is a bit disagreeable. Some of these guys put many hours of work into their ROMs, so to say all that should be dismissed due to the original code being that of HTC, is a little unfair. It sounds contradictory, so...

We have 2 issues:

1 - Free sharing of work

2 - The protection of devs who have put hours of work into a project and wish to keep it "exclusive"

Both have to be considered, imho

Its a matter of balance, one with the rules (that i think we have) and the other with attitude.

As Zel said, HTC could pull the plug at any time. Making this a non issue.
