Although I like BSPlayer and it works fine for me, I should point out that the default video player by LG works very well, reads subtitles just fine, and many codecs.
[G Pad 8.3 General] muiriddin:
Did you clear app data or did you try uninstalling the apps and do a fresh install after the upgrade? I don't use either of those apps but i did have a problem after the upgrade with a couple of apps behaving badly until i cleared the app data and one required a reinstall.

doh, can you tell I was watching hockey when i wrote this? It looks like you already tried my suggestions...
[G Pad 8.3 General] matlit:
I have problem with videos also.

I has started after changing soft to new soft 4.4.2.

While playing video (.mkv or .mp4), in defeault player or in MX Player, every few minutes, the picture is freezing for few seconds (audio is playing normally).

I have tried with different movies, always the same.

Before Android update everything was allright.
[G Pad 8.3 General] klynx:
The same is happening to me as well. I'm considering following the thread in XDA about downgrading to original 4.2.2, but I'm worried about bricking the G Pad. It's the last option; i have tried with several different players, and after a factory reset to no avail.

It's a mess from LG, I can't understand how this could go under the radar during their testing phase.

Anyone has info about future updates?
[G Pad 8.3 General] NJ_RAMS_FAN:
this actually happens to me using the stock video player on kit kat. I been using mx player since then with no issues..
[G Pad 8.3 General] worldsat400:
Hi,

I have exactly the same issue with videos on 4.4.2 whatever video player I am using. I updated my tablet as soon as I bought it, so I can not compare to 4.2.

I switched to the ART runtime (you need to enable Developer options to do so) a week ago and since then, video playing is smooth again.

Hi, is there a way to adjust the memory usage for the program, like adjust the storage and give it to program. Not like xda, the prophet does have a slider for the memory but could not be adjusted. Is there anyway how to go over this ?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Itanium2:
Prophet, as well as many new WM5 devices have (physically) separate program and storage memories. And thus there is no built in way to adjust the amounts of the two.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] rontess:
The Prophet has a 64MB Ram and a 128MB Flash Size with a storage size of 42.55. Where did the 44.01 MB program came from? Is there a way to increase the MB size for the program? Because I believe that even though you can install several program using the storage, a portion of the program memory gets filled up until at the critical level, which will later play an important part once you start running a program which needs a higher memory. Any remedy to this?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] levenum:
The 64MB RAM is what I think should be called 'box figure'. It's what's printed on the box.

In reality you get 50+ actual RAM at leas 10 of which go to various OS functions and the rest is left for running programs to use.

Under WM5 non of it is used for files, but when you run programs, even built-in ones there are sometimes memory leaks which means that even though you closed the program some of the memory (sometimes more them 1MB) remains occupied.

The only known way to fully reclaim memory is to soft reset the device. I do it on my Jamin once a week when I am left with 12-10MB free.

Unfortunately, there is no way to add RAM to device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] TTLayland:
I'm a tad confused as to how I'm supposed to go from mf3 to kit Kat while keeping root. If anyone could help out it would be great. I'd also like to know if staying on mf3 BL is better incase the bootloader is exploited again. Or is the work being done on current BLs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DeadlySin9:
Your best bet is to go to MK2. Work is taking place across different bootloaders, but a good amount of work is on MK2 including Hashcode's kexec exploit which functions on the root method for MK2 that allows the kernel memory to be modified. You can sideload the MK2 OTA or just flash the ODIN files if you don't mind wiping the internal data/storage. Once that's done, install Safestrap, and using the different guides you can either go to KeepRoot OTA to put yourself on the stock system with root or flash any 4.4.2 TouchWiz ROM with the KitKat Magic Toolkit.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jmjoyas:
Since you have MF3, you have a locked bootloader and so lot of things are restricted. We do not have a direct root method for kitkat and so the only go is to install a pre-rooted kitkat rom.

Your best bet is to odin flash MK2, root, install safestrap and use the kitkat magic tool to install a kitkat rom.

Using Odin is simple.

Run odin in admin mode (right click and select "run as administrator")

Under options, only "Auto Reboot" and "F.Reset Time" should be selected.

Click on "BL" button and select the "BL_I337UCUEMK2_1921628_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5" file from the MK2 extract.

Do the same for AP, CP and CSC

Put the phone in download mode

"adb reboot download" or

power-off the phone and press power, home and volume down buttons together. Hold it till you get the warning screen where you have to press volume up key.

Connect it to the computer. Odin should recognize and you should see an "Added!!" message in odin.

Hit the start button.

You should now have a clean stock MK2 firmware. Remember that this will wipe all your data.

Root: Use saferoot to root.

Safestrap: Install Safestrap v3.72 APK. Open the app and select install recovery.

Note: Safestrap is a special recovery that is available during the normal boot process. The stock recovery is still available and can be entered by pressing home and volume up when powering up the phone.

Entering safestrap recovery: Reboot the phone and when you see the safestrap screen, press the capacitive menu button (touch screen doesnt work).

Follow Kitkat magic tool and install the choice your rom from the All things AT&T MK2 and NB1 thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] TheLentilFarmer:
So you can use Black Box 3.0 on your AT&T i337? I saw on the list that it says "XXUFNB8 -- i9505" and figured that it would be risky to run it on my i337. Are there any extra steps that you have to take to get it to work?

I haven't made the jump from mf3 yet but Black Box 3 is looking pretty tempting.

Error

So I downloaded the MK2 AIO Tar file and then placed each file into their respective slots.

I keep encountering this error:

Invalid Percent of Drawing download progress bar!

Now this is happening every single time I use Odin 3 V 3.09.

I am redownloading the MK2 files and instead picking the download with the 4 separate players.

Hopefully this is resolved with the new download but if you guys have any suggestions lets me know.

Any ROM listed in the All things AT&T MK2 and NB1 thread will work on ATT I337. The thread is for this phone.

You have to first upgrade to MK2 by flashing the full odin image from the thread and then use KitKat magic tool to install kitkat Roms.

[HTC One VX] JShan:
Hello. I'm a new owner of an HTC One VX and I just succeeded in unlocking and rooting the device. I'm now looking for a custom ROM to flash. As far as I can tell, all of the ROMs posted on the xda forum for the device are based in some way on HTC Sense. I'm hoping for something that's more like stock Android. My question: are the ROMs developed for any other variants of the HTC One compatible with the One VX? Anyone tried flashing a ROM listed under another HTC One device and had success?
[HTC One VX] rohithbv:
Nope. You can't and you shouldn't. The phones are different. You'll end up bricking your phone. Better leave it to the devs to port the ROMs.
[Verizon LG G2] BoostinBen:
So I just recently decided to flash the unbloated OTA offered in the download section. I was on the 12 radio before running a regular ROM with ROM Manager and everything working perfectly. I flashed everything and all went smoothly. I flashed the OTA and the other required .zip. I then tried to root with IOroot25. Well my phone is detected, but when it goes to reboot into recovery, it never really does. So I tried to adb reboot recovery and the same thing happened - not going into recovery, just kinda' sitting at a very dark, though barely lit, screen.

Everything functions fine but it appears I do not have any sort of recovery at all. How would I go about fixing this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Verizon LG G2] JRJ442:
What debloated ROM did you flash?
[Verizon LG G2] mjones73:
It got removed, you need to downgrade the aboot to install a recovery once you upgrade the firmware to 24A. 24A plugs the exploit that was being used. Easiest route is to use the AutoRec app in the LG G2 Development section.
[Verizon LG G2] BoostinBen:
How can I use this program if I can't attain root? It says it requires root, which IOroot25 cannot do due to not having a recovery to boot into to apply the .zip.
[Verizon LG G2] BoostinBen:
I'm going to try the KDZ method here to flash the factory version in its full glory. Hopefully that will restore recovery mode and allow me to root the thing. I'll report back with my findings, and whether or not I was able to do this using the above link, IOroot, and AutoRec.
[Verizon LG G2] holsteinmoo:
I am having the same issue. I was running CM11 on a verizon lg g2 with CWM recovery. I flashed prerooted 4.4.2 from MicroMod777 along with the KK baseband. It worked, but I lost root AND recovery. Now when I tried to use ioroot 25, my phone won't boot into recovery at all. It appears that I lost recovery. Is there a simple way to install recovery back?
[Verizon LG G2] mjones73:
Return your phone to stock, let it take the OTA then rroot and install recovery.

Running TWRP and am happy with that but would prefer CWM touch recovery. Have tried several methods to install from various XDA treads with no luck. Any info you know of on that?
[Verizon LG G2] BoostinBen:
CWM installed fine for me using their purchased app and just flashing the touch version after selecting my device model.

I have also installed it using .img files provided in the forums and using Flashify to flash them.
[Verizon LG G2] holsteinmoo:
I was able to use .img files in the forums with 11a...I never took 12b...just stayed on 11a and ignored the update.

I returned to stock to get to 24a and was able to root but can't for the life of me get CWM recovery installed. I have tried flashify, installing zips, pushing .img with adb...no dice. I get error messages every time or the black screen you described in this thread's original post.

Just tried to load the zip from TWRP...no dice.

I purchased touch through the paid version of CWM and chose my device...nada...it's killing me!

I can live with TWRP but love CWM touch. Really at a loss.

Are you running 24a? If so, can you point me toward the forum link you used to get CWM loaded?
[Verizon LG G2] BoostinBen:
With 24a I pushed it with adb instead of flashing it via Flashify and it worked decently for me. Personally, though, I do like TWRP more, albeit it doesn't have that convenient application like CWM does.
[Verizon LG G2] JRJ442:
So you took the OTA and you're on 24A now? If thats the case you need to push the 12B aboot first before you can flash recovery. AutoRec will do all that. And flash recovery for you. After its finished you can flash CWM touch if you want.

Have you ever seen this? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jmz.soft.twrpmanager It flashes recovery for you, you can manage backups, with a donation you can even make live backups while still booted in Android. I haven't tried it yet because I keep forgetting. Sounds so cool though.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bjaguar33:
A- I recently installed Link2SD on My rooted Galaxy S5 (SM-G900H) and everything seemed ok. The app asked me to reboot my phone, when I did my phone stuck on the SAMSUNG Logo screen and FACTORY RESET/Wipe data didn't work. I even tried emergency recovery with no luck (Error mounting efs). I fixed the efs issue and I re-installed the stock ROM and re-Rooted my device.

I didn't re-install Link2SD anymore because I'm afraid it may break my phone.

1- What is the maximum size of the ext2 partition?

2- Does it work on SM-G900H without issues?

B- Despite what they say about Kitkat and that you cannot move your apps to SD card, I have the option on my phone to move (movable apps) to SD card and that's good enough for me. I purchased a SANDISK Extreme plus 64 GB SD card (Which is formatted in exFAT by default). When I move apps to SD and reboot my phone, all the apps on SD disappear and my phone starts acting weird and apps crashes. Maybe it's because of exFAT but I'm sure the SD card is fine and not broken. That's why I wanted to try Link2SD and see it it solves the problem.

Have anyone faced theses issues? Anyone know a solution for these problems? I appreciate any help.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex_tytn:
Bump... Me too!

Yes, I am having a very similar problem and I also have the 64GB SanDisk Extreme and SM-G900H and rooted.

Did you ever find a resolution?

My extSD seems to come and go. The last time I uninstalled the last 2 apps and it was good for 24 hours. Put I just pulled it off the charger and it started acting up again.

I cleaned the contacts, chkdsk'd it on my PC (everything reads fine) and rebooted a few times but no luck.

This post had some good recommendations but cleaning contacts, etc. didn't help me.

I was going to try an OTA update but it seems that I need to un-root first. That's my next step -- starting over. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bjaguar33:
Try FAT32

You SD card is formatted with exFAT? Try formatting it with FAT32. I didn't try it yet because I can't use my phone since my EFS partitions are gone and my IMEI code changed to 004999.... (Generic IMEI code).

Let me know if this solves your problem.:angel:
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex_tytn:
64GB will for sure need to be exFat -- FAT32 can't access all the space.

This is a good utility to reformat and fix it OR you can use the cmd level commands.

For me, I am able to use it intermittently now -- seems like it will work for hours, even days, then have a problem when I pull it off the charger. Of course, I woke up this morning and it wasn't working AGAIN.

I am on the phone now with Samsung tech support to see if there is a log somewhere that can give me more information about what is exactly failing. I did use this same card in 2 other Galaxy S5's (AT&T and T-Mobile versions) with no problem. Maybe I ruined the card when I had it in my wallet?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex_tytn:
FAT32 - I was wrong.

I was wrong. FAT32 CAN access all the space. I reformatted with FAT32 using the fat32format program and still have the same problems.

Furthermore, it happens with and without root -- I've reflashed a million times now.

At this point, I think that I just got a bad card reader in my unit because the card went off just by tilting the phone sideways last night (clean install, no root, no apps).

Good luck to the original poster.

That's just root not a ROM. If your willing to start fresh you can try this.

It should work. If you flash any recent ROM make sure you have the latest cwm or you will get status 7 error.
