LOL OMG yes. I could also explain it the XDA way, which won't help the beginners at all.

Here comes that explanation:

1. Backup your data

2. Flash one of the FTF firmwares

3. Flash a recovery and flash root in recovery

But that doesn't help the beginners, does it? With these instuctions I know what to do, since I have red all over the forums, but many people won't make it with this instuctions. Right? ;) I was simply trying to do a foul-proof step-by-step guide and yes it got very long, but I have eliminated at least 70% of the questions with it.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y4n09694:
You are truely my savior.

Though I've done anything yet, but I really appriciate what you did, thank u :)

I've been sick enough with my freezing camera bug.

I have a question, my device is not rooted yet (I bought it just 1 months ago, I'm a newbie for sure :D).

So, shoud I do all these step right a way, or I must root my phone first? :confused:

Your device is already rooted before fixing, right?:confused:
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonas740:
Make sure you read up on how to BACKUP your TA and DRM keys before you do anything like Unlocking bootloader.

There are posts on the forum on how to do this. But as said, dont unlock the bootloader until youve backed TA and DRM keys.

y4n09694: Hello, and you are welcome, no problem :)

If you skip step 5b and 5c, and also ignore everything under "Gaining back root and recovery"

you will have a working camera WITHOUT root, so this is optional and you can do as you like.

You don't need root to do this guide, however, programs like Titanium Backup and similair require root if you

want to do backups before doing this guide...

I wrote this guide with an unlocked bootloader in mind, therefore I cannot gurantee that it works

with locked bootloaders. If you are locked, do exactly as Jonas says, first backup TA partition and DRMkeys

and then follow sonys guide from unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com . If you ignore backup of TA and DRMkeys you will loose warranty

and OTA updates from Sony won't work even if you re-lock the bootloader.

Good luck :)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonas740:
i did

Well i have actually done this myself but i flashed the Z1_DooMLoRD_AdvStkKernel_FW-757_v03.zip boot.img in another way.

I used flashtool to flash that kernel.

I still have problems with camera will sometimes cause a reboot of the phone. So is the way of flashing this important. Will it be better if i flash it like you did with Minimal ADB and Fastboot ?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y4n09694:
Thank u guys so much :D
[MENTION=1030880]eclyptos[/MENTION]: really sory about that, I've fixed :D
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VR2014:
y4n09694: You're welcome.

Jonas: I have a gut feeling that maybe it wasn't the fact that you flashed the kernel. What FTF did you choose ultimately?

Did you let it wipe everything (Data appslog and so on?.)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonas740:
here is where i found it.

Well yes i let it wipe everything and the firmware i used comes from here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2712772

Its the [FTF] Xperia Z1 C6903 14.3.A.0.757 Generic NCB

Last night though i flashed the kernel from the one you are using, locked my bootloader again with flashtool. I dont know yet but phone hasnt restarted yet while i have been using the camera. I had that DoomLord kernel you linked before with CWM.

Phone is still rooted. Sidenote: This phone seems sturdy, it actually took a fall last night from 50cm straight down onto a steel profile with the back cover. Only thing that happened was a long scratch in my backside screen protector. Under that was not a scratch. I was nerveous since ive only had the phone for two weeks :D I think i will buy a OnePlus One when thoose come out though :P
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonas740:
Can give the information that what i did there didnt work. Phone rebooted today when i took a picture. Took loads of pics this morning and no problem. But then today i decided to install Googles CameraApp. Tried that for a bit. When i got home to take pictures while replacing the lcd on my Xperia V it decided that it was time for a reboot when i shot the first picture.

Dunno if the google camera app was the issue but i didnt use that and i closed that process. If you dont close that process and open Sony´s camera app it will say that the camera aint available.

Kind of tired of theese reboots now.

Well i felt some joy but not really joy but a friend at work also has problems with his Samsung Galaxy S5 with the new kit kat draining battery like a maddarfakkar. in 4 hours it had gone from 100% to 45% and he just had it in his pocket :eek:

Why change a software on a phone thats already working !
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krimskram:
nice work!

Will test this if reinstalling does not do it (on stock 757, doomkernel v19).

Been awhile since I've rooted and installed custom roms.

I just got my note 3 the other day it's a n900a Nb4 still on 4.3.

I rooted it today but I've been reading for a couple days on what options I have for recoveries and roms and there's a lot of confusion. Not quite as easy as it used to be lol.

Hoping someone can point me in the right direction on what options I have.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SimPup:

[LG Nitro HD] thtkidsvm:
OK so I got a new phone and factory Data reset my LG Nitro hd while it was on jellybam kitkat rom and when i finished the setup, unmounted my external sd card from settings app and took the external sd card out and put it in my new phone. Problem is that for some reason my external sd card shows up in the LG Nitro HD as sdcard0 which I think is suppose to be the internal sd card so when I remove it from the phone it says removed sd card please insert new sd card and apps keep fc and it won't let me download anything in any app other than the play store. When I keep my external sd card in the phone it works properly no fcs but it's not suppose to show up as internal sd card storage. The phone seem like it's missing the internal sd card partition. When the sd card is inserted into my new phone it shows up as external sd card and sdcard0 is the internal sd card which I think is correct. The LG Nitro hd is using Philz touch recovery but I don't know if that has anything to do with the sd card showing up as internal sd card. Can someone help me find a solution to this problem? I was thinking about going all the way back to stock with the locked bootloader using the LG software tool, but before that I wanted to know if there's any solution to this issue.
[LG Nitro HD] abuulala:
try flashing newer CMW recovery 6.0.4.5 and than flashing through it, might b of some help
[LG Nitro HD] thtkidsvm:
Thanks for the quick reply but unfortunately that didn't work. I was able to get the recovery but when I factory data reset in cwm without the external sd card inserted it does reset but it finishes with the error mounting /storage/sdcard0/.android_secure
[LG Nitro HD] abuulala:
what rom u r using?
[LG Nitro HD] thtkidsvm:
I was using the cyanfox nightly from 2-18 and a few minutes ago I flashed pacman rom on Android 4.3 and when I looked in settings at partition info it showed the amount of space on my external sd card under internal sd card and said external sd card unavailable
[LG Nitro HD] thtkidsvm:
Also I just looked at the storage and noticed internal storage: total space-2.15gb, available-1.72, apps-449mb, and cached data-17.31mb. I thought that this phones available space was around 800mb not a whole gb + unless it just depends on the rom...

I do have my device rooted and am using es explorer and it says I dont have permission to write to that folder. I have root explorer enabled. Any ideas?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] jolly_roger_hook:
ill have flashables up in about ten minutes if you would want to wait and not sure about es file explorer never used it but most file explorers are similar you have to change permisions of the folder from R/W to R/O the should be something somewhere you can click to do that

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] dukins:
Thank you sir. You are a god send. I have been trying to find a 4x5 stock launcher for the longest time. Thank you kindly.

One issue in having is the 4x2 widgets are smashed together. Particularly the weather widget.

https://app.box.com/s/qh78wyri7smqw5i562mx

Do you have any knowledge on how to add the pullup mod? It's basically a mod where you can change the app you want to use besides the my magazine app. For instance, when you pullup from bottom you can have it open google search instead. Hope that makes sense.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] jolly_roger_hook:
Your welcome and team blackout just search for them on Google the have many blackout and clearout apps

ill see what I can do with the weather widget it might have tk be modded to work ad well I cannot for the life of me fond out how to do the pullup mod ive looked everywhere
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] jolly_roger_hook:
Will be updating later today with pulk up for any app
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] jolly_roger_hook:
As far as I can tell the acuweather is a 5x2 widget can get bigger but not smaller because it can streatch but if you try to shrinknit it will massh thing to gether to cover the overlay or of it can im not sure how to mod it for that
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] dukins:
The weather widget is fully functional in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2607160. Maybe you can review the coding and credit the user for it. When I review the widget size it says 4x2. I don't know if you can change the weather widget to 5x2 or not, not that smart lol :laugh:. If not, no biggie. Im just happy to have 4x5. And thank you for adding pullup mod. Donation will be forthcoming in the next few days. Do you have a donation option?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] jolly_roger_hook:
Donation button should be right under my name and ill look at the weather widget there and see wbat the difference is as well I should have the pull up mod up by around 8-10 I have to get back to my comp at my other house right now
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] jolly_roger_hook:
Still working on swipe up having issues
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Deekayy:
Flashed the 5x5 zip and my drawer doesn't show the app/widgets tab on top. Was it a bad flash? I also clear data'd and wipe cache/dalvik.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] jolly_roger_hook:
No the 5x5 s5 launcher is like that you have to add widget by going to your home screen long pressing then there will be three on screen buttons that come up on the bottom if i'm not miataken havent used it much myself but if you want the tabed app drawer reflash the normal 5x5 launcher
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] stargzrr11:
Thanks for your work on this launcher!

I'm using the 4x5 launcher and the spacing is just a hare of. See the screenshot, but basically if text wraps to a second line it gets cut off.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] rndchef:
any chance of a 5x6 launcher? was using one on JB before upgrading to KK. I miss the 6 icons on the dock. thanks for the mod anyways.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] SMR-DINO313:
So if I Wana go back to stock launcher which one do I use ?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] jolly_roger_hook:

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] jdog94:
are these working good with the 4.4.2 roms?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] jolly_roger_hook:
Made for 4.4.2 roms will have to find a diff acuweather for the 4x5 launcher if thats the one you want as the orignal is to big for the grid size
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] jdog94:
cool ill give one a try
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] jdog94:
i used the 5x5

but the s5 weather widget im using will not resize.....dang it

oops i remover weather widget and put it back it is resized fine now
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] jolly_roger_hook:
Okay I was about to ask if you tried that
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] fletch33:
for people wanting the stock accuweather widget if you have the deodex 4.2.2 installed have you tried this ?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] shawn01:
I'm thought stock launcher 4×4??
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] fletch33:
i really appreciate this as it is a must (5x5 normal) but had a question on why the app drawer icon is a blue S? is there a way to have it without the S?

if not no biggie but if easy i would like to put it back to normal.

thanks again
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Dumaru:
I am on Hyperdrive Rom and just got your 5x5. It is giving me issue when moving objects around the screen and overlap of App text. Issue is that the 5x5 grid goes behind/below the screen indicator thing. I have attached a couple photo's.

Is there anything to do about this?

Here was my install process. Clear data of TouchwizHome.apk > Move SecLauncher4.apk to system/priv-app > Renamed TouchwizHome.apk to TouchwizHome.apk_old > Rename SecLauncher4.apk to TouchwizHome.apk > Reboot.

Thank you for your awesome work!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] fletch33:
you would probably need to check with sbreen94 who made the rom. i say this because i installed it and then went back to stock deodex because it appears when i was doing some themeing and tweaking that he has greatly changed the SecLauncher4.apk to give some cool affects like the slide left for Google Now but it also affects 3rd party alterations like this one.

hope that helps
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] jolly_roger_hook:
You do not rename seclauncher4.apk at all try the flashable and let me know if your still having that issue seclaunher4.apk is your stock towluchwiz launcher you do not need to rename anything but the orignal sexlauncher to .old or .bak wahatever your preferance may be
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] fletch33:
you obviously would know way more about this then i do but if you havent installed that rom you might want to take a look at what sbreen94 has done to the launcher because it appeared to be significant.

he might want to take his changed launcher and just modify your code into it.

i could be wrong but thought i would try and help :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] jolly_roger_hook:
I will ask him about when I get time later today would be cool to have some extra features in the lauchers
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Dumaru:
Went to reboot into recovery to try the Flashable 5x5, couldn't get into recovery. Now I am in a boot loop that can't get into recovery... sooo I am going to have to fix that before I can even try the Flashable 5x5.

I'll get back to you :)

---------- Post added at 08:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:40 AM ----------

Okay, I tried the Flashable 5x5. It puts the file there but I guess it is due to the Hyperdrive RLS8 Rom. Guess he has the launchers set up significantly different. Guess I will just have to make due with th 4x4 :(

Thank you though!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] jolly_roger_hook:
Sorry about that only thing I can say is put in a request on sbreen's thread ill talk to him about doing this though
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] platinumyahoo:
Im on hyperdrive 8 KK and not a single launcher mod has worked for me. I tried your 5x5 flashables and standalone apk with the root explorer method and nothings changes it stays stock 4x4. I used to easily do this on hyperdrive 7 (JB 4.3) but nothing is working on kitkat...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] jolly_roger_hook:
These launchers will not work on kk hyperdrive he is using a moded s5 launcher as well im guessong somewhere in his code there ks something different I worked with an amazing dev for 4 hlurs straight to get these to work on hyperdrive but they wont you will have to stick woth his launcher for now
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] platinumyahoo:

Hey [MENTION=5808364]jolly_roger_hook[/MENTION] do you mind making a regular 5x5 and s5 5x5 version without the "S" icon app drawer? Make it stock app drawer icon, please. Thank you kindly.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] fletch33:
i figured as much :(

its a shame too because he has the cool thing i had with KK Launcher where you can slide main screen right to get the full screen Google NOW page but i want stock launcher and found Hyper to be too buggy at the moment.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] jolly_roger_hook:
The s icon app drawer shold not be k the versions I have uploaded that is part of the theme I have on my phone

crud I used one of the flashables without backing up my launcher first. Now it looks funky. The apps and widgets sections have weird gradients and the widgets don't look right either. Anyone have a backup of the stock launcher I can re-install?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] fletch33:
here yo go. for reference i never delete anything from stock but simply rename with .bak extension so its always there in case i need it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] ruleftbehind:
Thank you very much. I usually do too but I was quick fingers with this one. :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] fletch33:
question. i installed the stock S5 5x5 and i have a little pencil in the bottom right hand side on every screen? any thoughts on how to get rid of that?

thanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] fffft:
Thanks for doing this. It's really nice to have a 5 x 5 homescreen.

I'm running into a small hiccup though.. the text from the bottom row of home screen icons is sitting on top of the screen page indicators. Maybe this is something unique to my setup. Anyway, I'd like to "pull down" the dock icons and screen page marks by removing some space from under the dock icons.

I'm sure that I could muddle through the edit myself if you could give me a hint as to which dimens.xml elements set the vertical spacing above and below the dock icons? I'm guessing that it is home_pageIndicatorGap for the space above the dock icons. But I don't know what sets the space below the dock?

try this one?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] jolly_roger_hook:
Im using team blackouts goole search to get the rogt size widget
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] JBHawaii:
Does the s5 5x5 launcher only affect the homescreen? I have 5x5 on homescreen, but only 4x4 in the app drawer... maybe that is why I am only seeing 4x1 widgets... only the s5 app widgets are showing 5x1 etc...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] jolly_roger_hook:
I think whe u use the s5 launcher the s5 widgets need to be used to show up properly I dont use the s5 one so im not to sure
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] JBHawaii:
I really dont want to revert back... not many people have had luck using the s5 launcher without fc's... I suppose it's because I'm using the s5 framework and systemui... I'm also on the official verizon nc4 stock odex rom (rooted).
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] DdronD4L:
