[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madmuffin:
Thank you for the hint.

Just in case anyone else is facing this issue and looking for a manual workaround, just create empty files inside /data/local/hwui.deny/ and fix the permissions (likely chown system:system and chmod 600).

e.g.

cd /data/local/hwui.deny/
touch com.android.browser
chmod 600 *
chown system:system *

My system has beed dirty flashed ever since I started using CM 10.2, I actually do not want to try a clean install now, for this minor issue.

The error that I see in logcat is:

HWA Stopped Working

I've tried all sorts of things here.

I note that the folder hwui.deny to which madmuffin refers has no files at all.

I've deleted associated HWA Settings data via app settings.

This error persists in spite of my flashing a new ROM update today.:silly:
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madmuffin:
[MENTION=5055950]gbossley[/MENTION] The folder was empty on my side as well.

Since I manually created these files I havent used HWA Settings, but when I wanted to show the problem to a friend this weekend, HWA Settings worked flawless.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbossley:
Could I trouble you for a file please - exactly as you've loaded into the folder? I'll PM you.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madmuffin:
The files are completely empty. If you use a Unix-like O/S like Linux, you can use the touch command on the prompt. Or you can just create an empty textfile using any method you like.

I did not upload the files from anywhere, I created them on the device.

Side note: I believe that it doesn't even matter. They might as well contain something. I believe the system only reads the list of files from that folder and processes that list. It won't check the contents or open the files.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbossley:
Progress!

Thanks to Madmuffin, and a bit of tenacity (?), I see progress.

When looking at HWA Settings, under each app the file name to be managed is shown.

EG. for Aero Control, the file name will be com.aero.control

For ASR (a voice-recorder app) the file name is com.nll.asr

I used ROM Toolbox because with it you can use ROM Browser, navigate to the folder /data/local/hwui.deny/ and press New to create a new blank file with the appropriate names (as for Aero Control or ASR examples above).

So I created three blank files for three of the apps that I want to turn acceleration off for.

Now HWA shows those three files as deselected! However, it still stops working after either trying to turn them back on or turn others off.

So it looks as though I need to create a new blank file for every app that I want to turn off acceleration for.

My only question is "if the app is deselected per the above process, is acceleration actually turned off?" How could I test?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbossley:
As Advised by Madmuffin, HWA Settings has started working! I'd love to know what logic goes on there...
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbossley:
HWA Not Working (Again)

I upgraded my ROM - TO Quarx CM11 (0607). HWA now not working again.

The HWUI.Deny folder has a heap of blank files in it.

Ideas?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madmuffin:
Is the HWA Settings app not working or is hardware acceleration not disabled for the apps previously deselected?

What do you mean by "blank files"? The files in the folder are empty files by design and need no content.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbossley:
Sorry, I could have been more specific.

The EMPTY files are there. If I try to make any changes "Unfortunately, Hwa Settings has stopped".
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madmuffin:

Well thats the previously observed behaviour of the HWA Settings App. I guess it will start to work after a while again, just like it did before. Since I do not need to make any changes, I usually don't even open up the app.

This seems to be a bug in HWA Settings App, but to be honest, I do not really care to much.

[General Topics] Unoid:
I've had to deal with a recent fraud on one of my cards. They straightened out the issue however the reps were pushing HARD for me to utilize the AMEX mobile app. Sure it can give you push notifications of your purchases and allow you to approve or deny etc.

I actually decided to read the terms and conditions for once.

Not only does the app permissions list All Device information(they don't state how much exactly? phone #? IMEI?, Your Google Login?), it wants complete access to everything on your SD card. Store photos on SD? they have permission to collect and upload that.

In the T&C's it states:

1) They may change the T&C's anytime, and your continued use of the app is your agreement to whatever changes they make, even without having you re-read and accept. mod edit, masked profanity removed

2) What made me uninstall the app instantly... they can collect pretty much anything on they device they want in order to "improve the app". mod edit, masked profanity removed

Perhaps my tinfoil is on too tight, however I'm sick of companies pushing you to accept to give them your private information that likely has nothing to do with their service (app) so they can better track and possibly sell MORE marketing information about you.

You bet your ass that they sell your purchase histories to marketing companies.

My opinion: Avoid this app. :mad:

You wipe and then flash? And you using odin on the pc and not the mobile one right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] xmuertex:
Yes I use odin 3.09 on pc, instead of wipe I use Format on twpr2 for n900t, then installed stock rom, then back into stock recovery and wiped and nothing, no sensors works ever since kitkat was first installed on this device. . [emoji20]
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] xile6:
I'm to to sure on the format option. I know on another phone it screws things up badly.

The best I can say is use odin 3.07 and flash the tar update. .

It will remove root but your be able to use the app to get it back.

Your file system may have gotten corrupted. I had a weird situation once that I just couldn't resolve, no matter how many times I ODIN'd stock ROM/firmware. The answer for me was to rebuild the EFS file system, as outlined in this thread, the second half of the OP.

Hi,

The Smart dialer on my Dopod 838 pro seems to not perform up to speed. When pressing keypad for numbers or search contacts (smart dialing) the application gives slow response... is anyone experiencing the same problem? or is there a fix for this? .. i have around 400 contacts on my unit (FYI) could this be the problem?

Thanks in advance

Any help is really appreciated

Cheers

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] christopherwoods:
Yep, mine is sluggish too. I hate how the keypad tones stay on while the app sorts itself out, I do have LOADs of contacts though and I imagine the software having to sift through all of them as it does its realtime filtering must use up all the CPU cycles for the start of each search. My response time picks back up once I've typed in three letters / numbers, but it's still annoying enough for me to mute the volume or turn the key tones off while I dial.

My Alpine was just like it.

Guys. I'm using Xperia Z...I know as said in rules that i need to read more.. But now I am a lot confused with the different options provided here..

I don't know what rom to select or how I need to go back to stock version.

The procedure I followed to update my device to cm-10.2.1-yuga are:

1. I unlocked my Bootloader through official Xperia Site.

2. I followed ninjaromio site to update-sony-xperia-z-kitkat-cm-11 link to root the device and install the "cm-10.2.1-yuga"

The Question I have is my model was C6602 and now its C6603,check the attachment for the information regarding the kernel.

After reading all the options, I am really confused, I really want help from u guys., I never used any CWM. So,Kindly help me Switch to other ROMs or switch to stock version. Really Sorry,I should have researched more, But it will be gr8 if one single method is given to Switch ROMs or move to Stock Rom just for this time, So I can use the same method to switch back and forth without having the fear of bricking my phone.If by chance my phone gets bricked and I am not able to solve it on my own, I can't give it out too.I cant give it in shops either.But I wan to take the risk with expert opinion. So just this time help guys.Thank you.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidtweaker1:
The reason its showing C6603 is because you have flashed a C6603 rom

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rr24:
Lately i've been running cloudyflex 2.4 and i noticed that the statusbar icons (wifi, alarm, mobile reception..) and nav bar look somewhat blurry and lower resolution than everything else. And also sound from the speaker tends to "fall apart" on higher volumes, which was not the case with stock ROM. ROM was installed after a full wipe and works flawlessly in everything but this. Is there anything i can do to fix it?

I know that there is a special thread for cloudyflex, but I'm a new member so I can't post in development threads.

I'm on CloudyFlex 2.4 and don't notice those issues. Your statusbar icons look about the same as mine, but a slightly different color. maybe change your theme. As for the sound, CloudyFlex has a sound boost built in for higher volumes, perhaps the "falling apart" you mean is distortion from turning it up too loud. The sound is waaaay louder on this ROM than stock. Stock was too weak.

I, for one, am pissed. I just got into another 2 year deal to get this phone and they are talking about it's replacement already. They should have made it known, so people could decide themselves if they want to wait.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sensatti:
I'm not sure where you've been but in today's smartphone market, flagship devices are lucky to last 4-6 months before they are dated. The 2 year plan is not feasible for keeping the latest smartphone.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] donkeypunch1257:
Transparency is all I'm asking. If the phone is coming out in 2-3 months, then they already are past the planning stage and may already be in the manufacturing stage. Either way, I think it would be decent of them to layout the long term. Don't know where you are but in America these phones are expensive and tied to expensive carriers, So I would like to know all my options if the ,manufacturer already knows they're putting them out.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Cremacious:
If that's true I'm not really mad. The way I see it is that with such a short time between releases the M9 will be only a slight improvement at most.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Turgur:
Where are you seeing information about the M9?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] JasonJoel:
I don't think they need to disclose anything... There will always be a newer phone around the corner.

You know that without them announcing anything... And if you are on a 2 year contract, what is the difference if a new one comes out 6 months later, or a year later. Changes nothing.

And if you are going to play the waiting game for the next 'big thing' you'll always be waiting, as there is always a next big thing coming...

If you wait for the M9 you might as well wait for the M10. You'll only have the latest and greatest for a month or two with all the flagship phones available.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] deeznuts:
I believe I'm in the Verizon forum and if so they have the Next program. If u got it when this phone came out they had a special which basically every month what Next costs you is credited back to you so you have the Next program free! New phone can come out tomorrow for all I care and I can trade my phone in for it with $0 out of pocket. A beautiful thing for the OCD people that want the latest and greatest ;). Those not interested there is the standard 2yr contract plan for phones. Easy two choices so choose wisely ;). Don't blame the cellphone company for your choices on how u will upgrade. They have to keep up with the times to stay in business, the user doesn't have to, it's a choice.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] wtoj34:
Buy a phone on contract, root it (if possible) keep it in mint condition. If one day it becomes un rootable sell it as mint rooted and dance in the profit. Buy new phone off contract. Rinse. Repeat.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] deeznuts:
True but unless u find a real dummy ur never gonna get back what u paid. Still going to pay at least $100 out of pocket after selling 8-14 month old device. How much does an HTC One X+ go for today compare to when it came out? Example

I'd rather pay $0 out of pocket and upgrade when I want to and still pay only $160/month for two lines with 10gb of shared data. Just need to turn s on, unroot, fix tampered banner, flash stock Rom and return device. No one knows the better ;).
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] wtoj34:
True true. The example I use for my case though would have to be the note 2. Once that got locked up on an OTA it started selling like hot cakes. 100-150$ for a new phone is perfectly acceptable for me though. I am losing some money but the enjoyment from the phone is worth it :good:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Izeltokatl:
The day you buy a phone is the day it's old. These guys have at least two models when they release the "current"phone. They pay for the new phones research costs.

I did this to get the DNA, SG3, SG4, M7, bought M8 on contract, still have mint M7 and mint M8 and those will be sold to fund next flagship device of my choosing to buy off contract until I have my contract ready, or a new phone is out.

Personally, for me. I think I might deviate away from the HTC One series devices unless they make some serious design changes which I do not see. I don't truly have a need for the boomsound speakers and would give those up for a regular phone speaker and a smaller phone overall.
