I think it's maybe a kernel related issue if he is using a custom kernel.

Can you tell me please if googy is compatible with CandyKat ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rc420head:
Idk I don't have this device, link me to it and I'll take a look. You could try and if it doesn't work just dirty flash room again

Thanks for answering me, here is the kernel : http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/orig-development/28-04-googy-max2-kernel-2-3-1-cm-camera-t2517875

Yes, i can try but i don't want to backup all my apps for nothing
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rc420head:
Looks like it will work, only thing that slightly concerns me is it hasn't been updated in a while and candykat is upto date with slimroms current code.

You should be fine flashing it and if it doesn't work reflash candykat without wiping anything and your apps should stay.

Just a minor question can u add dynamic status bar option in next build if possible :p?????????????
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Havoc-X:
With the stock kernel, i was getting 50% battery drain overnight. With Arter it dropped to about 20%. Googy max didn't work for me. It didn't bootloop but it stayed on the load screen for about 5 min. Ill reflash the ROM after I mega wipe my phone to see if there's maybe lingering data or something.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Occasus:
Hi.

First of all, thanks for the update! :good:

Until now, version 1.6.2 runs without problems; no freezes, no lags, no reboots. It is very responsive, fast & smooth, I've flashed the Sweetner Pack 1 for further customizations, that comes around really beautiful. I'm running CandyKat with Boeffla Kernel [OmniRom] 2.4 Beta6a by ZaneZam.

Thanks again to the devs & all contributors, incredible work!!! :D

Greets & cheers to all flashaholics as well, give this one a go! For me, one of the best KK 4.4.4 ROMs atm. Will report back again if I should run into trouble.

Hi [MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION],

i've installed the rom - seems to be very nice and fast...

I have a question for theming: how can i have the design in settings like the image above? I found this picture on page three of this thread....

Thx Christian
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SteStanich:
[MENTION=5066258]rc420head[/MENTION]

flashed om yesterday, seems a very good release, smooth and fast and light on ram.

battery consumpion seems good, I think I can get nearly 4hrs SOT with a 2 years old battery, that's good.

I had a few soft reboots with latest experimental archikernel so I flashed the latest stable one and everything is fine.

I flashed through philz and lost root access but re-rooting is a joke, so who cares..

I've tried then to install a few themes but things have been messed up a little, maybe because themes are designed for CM.

last one I've installed made sistem UI crash continuously, I dirthy flashed rom and gapps again and everything is fine again.

am I doing something wrong maybe?

last thing: I activated advanced reboot but cannot see soft/hot reboot option.. is there a way to show it?

conclusion: very good release, thank you & keep your great work up! :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rc420head:
Ok I'll try to answer all at once here.

To get root go to developer options and under root set to adb & apps

The theme posted is Red juiced (paid in app store)

TWRP is recommended recovery.

Hi there, I've been trying to sim unlock or sim free my phone and tried the "[root] SGS2 SIM unlock code finder" app made by Chainfire in this thread. But it was unsuccessful in retrieving the code. In the same post below it was suggested to try "Galaxy_S Unlock" app made by Helroz which isn't as safe but more likely to work so I did, the app requested that BusyBox was installed so I done that and updated it and procceded with the steps, it requested that I should restart the phone before moving on to step 3 so I did that but now I can't get into my phone... The unlock pass code has changed or something since my code no loger works to unlock it, I've even tried default ones like 1111, 0000, 1234 and even 7890 but no joy, I restarted it again and tried but still no luck.... I really dont want to factory reset either because I have important pictures on there and other stuff.

Please help! Please :'(

Many thanks in advanced!!!

Running KitKat 4.4.4.

I took a photo last night using the camera from the lock screen. Hours later, i checked my phone for that photo. I looked for it in the Photos app and it was not there, device nor cloud backup.

This morning i turned on my phone and i got the notification that a photo has been backed up onto the cloud. I opened up the Photos app and now it shows the photo i took last night on my device gallery.

Why did it not show up on my device when i first took it?

Hi guys there is a lot of media coverage on facebook messenger apparently accessing your phone, audio video camera etc without your knowledge is that actually true does android work like that or is it just media being media.
[Android Apps and Games] robosiris:
Yes it's true. The media is just being the media. In addition, there are many articles as to why Facebook requires access to your phone, media, contacts, etc.. mashable.com/2014/08/11/stop-freaking-out-about-facebook-messenger-app-permissions

Facebook is one of those apps that kills battery life and access all kinds of data on your device. It's a little disconcerting for some. For most tech savvy users, the best and safest way to use Facebook is with your mobile browser.

Here is a nodded Facebook version that has fewer permissions http://xdaforums.com

Sprite backup is the best. As far as I know, it is the only (correct me if I am wrong) backup software which allow you to restore all of your softwares after new ROM upgrading. I never had problem with this software.

Yup thats right, In my opinion, theres not much point buying a backup program for mobile devices if you cannot restore after a ROM upgrade, thus Sprite is worth the higher price than the other apps

hi i have a major issue this morning i flashed the dark one viper theme on my m8 i am rooted soff after it installed i hit the reboot button but when it rebooted it hung at boot screen so i hard rebooted and went to recovery which is philz recovery i then wiped cache and dalvic and rebooted but it still got stuck at the boot screen so i reentered recovery it took longer to load than usual and i was greeted with this message at the bottom of the screen

E: could not mount /data to setup /data/media path i tried to restore my nandroid backup but it failed at the data partion i also restored recover settings to default just incase id accidently pressed something i shouldnt have as the touchscreen is quite sensitive but nothing has worked does anybody know how i can fix this issue please i really need my phone any advise on this would be most appreciated thank you
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stathis95194:
Try to reflash recovery and see if it fixes the mounting problem. If it does restore your nandroid

You're telling that you are rootet. But are you also running the Viper ROM.? Guess you do as you flashed a corresponding theme.

edit same problem with twrp i tried fixing perms but it failed at data partion
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vi553r:
I have your solution ?

Why?

Because I had exact same problem as you have now.

I'm on venom rom. Flashed 2.0.0 rom had not updated firmware however.

After flashing theme Viper dark I got very, very, very long boot time.

After 15 mins or so I hard "button rebooted" device. Resulting in data block being totally corrupted.

As your virtual SD card is a partition on /Data, and data is totally corrupted you won't see or be able to mount your SD card too.

Reflashing recovery, rom or whatever won't help /data stays corrupt.

Now the best part....

I got the tools for you to make your data block fine again, so it again can be mounted and you can see and use the internal sdcard.

You will of course loose anything on the data and virtual sdcard so you must flash a rom after fixing data.

Tools are on my pc, and I'm on my phone right now so I will upload it later and give you link and instructions.

That is if you still have this problem.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smeejaytee:

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smeejaytee:
thanks still here lol
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vi553r:
Ok, here we go :)

First

* Download this mkfs.ext4 binary

https://www.dropbox.com/s/kxpun5kd2rrh28s/mkfs.ext4?dl=0

* Connect your device to the PC

* Boot your device in recovery mode

* Open a command prompt on the PC (cmd.exe), type and confirm each command with ENTER:

make sure you copy mkifs.ext4 into the directory where you have adb.exe located

* cd "place where you have your fastboot.exe and adb.exe"

* adb push mkfs.ext4 /tmp

* adb shell

* chmod 777 /tmp/mkfs.ext4

* /tmp/mkfs.ext4 -b 4096 -O ^huge_file,^dir_nlink,^ext_attr,^resize_inode,^extra_isize -m 0 /dev/block/mmcblk0p47

You will now see some text scrolling along. Just let the tool finish and youre /data partition is perfect once again.

After everything is done we mount /data and make the virtual sdcard on it.

* mount /data

* mkdir -p /data/media/0

done, you can use "Exit" to go out of the cmd screen.

Now, reflash a rom via recovery and youre up and running again
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smeejaytee:
thank you very much i have a small issue though im going to need to adress before i can try this i cant get adb to work atm ill look into fixing it now the thing i had on standbye is called full wipe fuu do you know of it

edit: adb is working yay
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vi553r:
Yes i know.

Wiping isnt gonna help. You cant wipe from something that isnt mounted :)

Whats the issue on adb you said ? Small issue...haha, if it will push through the file you downloaded its good to go

You get your phone recognised in adb if you are in recovery mode and on your pc you type "adb devices" ?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smeejaytee:
yes its working now i was having trouble with it say device not connected but its showing now and i tested by rebooting bootloader and it worked fine thanks for your help im going to try it shortly i hope it works im new to soff and im finding everything very scary atm lol
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vi553r:
I know what you mean. I was in the same situation.

Listen, the procedure and mkfs . Exit file will guaranteed bring your device back to life.

All will take about 10 minutes.

There is no other solution.

There's even nothing for the m8 written down on Internet...

So you will eventually go for my solution... Nothing else helps ?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smeejaytee:

apperently that script is actually in the full wipe fuu programme as sneakyghost has just informed me

all booted up and working thanks for the advise
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vi553r:
It's not a full wipe or any other wipe ?

What you did was reformat that partition.... Ofcourse a format will wipe everything but it's not called a wipe.

Ofcourse you can share this procedure on the forum.

It may help others.

Be sure to have you're device in recovery mode. Not in fastboot mode or hboot.

It's important that adb devices will list your device. Else adb can't do anything.

Try another USB port on you're pc, hopefully it's gonna load some drivers so adb can recognize you're device.
