[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svbarbosa:
Seems you have to do a "clean install".

Backup your apps/data using a good backup tool. I use Titanium Backup.

Take a look here: [Guide] Noobs guide to use Titanium Backup for backup and restore of apps.

Then go to recovery, wipe data and install a new rom.

Restore your apps/data and the phone should be back to normal.

If you decide to use Titanium, DO NOT restore system apps or system data. It is only ok to restore XML backups. I only restore XML for messages, call log and wifi accounts.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Younuszain:
But i dont have any app or data that i want to restore.

And i had already wiped the memory and evrythng and THEN installed the rom. But i still have those apps crashing. :/
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CannibalAngel:
I tried both toolkits in the Origional Android Development sections and neither of them work. They all ask for a donation. I do not want to donate until I can verify that it works. Nothing I have tried has allowed me to root my phone.

I am on Android 4.4.4 on T-Mobile.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
first things first, if you have no idea whats going on do not use root toolkits.

secondly, we have wonderful sticky posts here to make it easy to find useful info, rooting a nexus 5 is useful.

the basics..

1. use fastboot to unlock your bootloader

2. use fastboot to flash a custom recovery

3. use that new custom recovery to flash supersu, the superuser(root) binaries

4. boot up with root.

5. now why do we need toolkits?

now check here to get detailed instructions http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/general/resource-guides-info-threads-linked-read-t2784527

hello simms22, can i ask why you don't like toolkits if they work, no pun intended
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
because too many people that use toolkits are brand new, and they dont learn the very basics of modding the phone by skipping that step. then later on, when all there is to do is some basic maintenance, they freak and think they destroyed their device. or many similar stories like that. anyways, i dont have any issue with toolkits overall, just the newest users. what id like to see is a toolkit that also explains the basics, so the user can learn the basics. anyways, with nexus devices, its just as easy doing it properly. if you have fastboot installed, the process takes 3-4 minutes.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joecool666:
true

yeah true i understand where your comming from with that fairplay. kind regard's joe

Used this yesterday to root my new N5, worked great. Only issue I had was that I couldn't push SuperSU to /sdcard. Used the sideloader and it loaded fine then.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vanhoud:
Just use towelroot
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Still, like tool kits, doesn't teach the basics that are needed to fix problems. If then person already knows these basics, fine but if not. They're a burden on this forum and us when we're trying to help so only suggest this to people who know what they're doing.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nubrig:
So I bought a used N4 sold as is because the seller said he had some issues with the ROM and the touch sensitivity and all it needed was a stock ROM flash. I took up the challenge and flashed stock 4.4.4.

While I'm at the home screen everything's fine, as soon as opened the app drawer there were random touches all over the bottom half of the screen. Some were shown in the center and many at the bottom left corner but most were just random. I mean like 7-8 touches per second. The same happened whenever I went into play store, Opera or Chrome. Didn't test it further since I decided to try another rom.

Flashed Purity ROM and at first glance it worked flawlessly. Not random touches in home screen, app drawer or settings. Then I flash Gapps and the same thing happens with Play and Opera.

The funny thing is that the problem persists but at different circumstances. Can't pinpoint the exact cause. Should I get a new screen and try? Or maybe something else is at fault there?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Falkeys:
I've been having the exact same problem as you. It started after I replaced the screen and the usb flex.

Ghost touches 1-2 each second only on some apps (none on homescreen or settings). I noticed that it happen in 4.4.4 app drawer but not in the 4.2.2 app drawer. I got almost no ghost touches on 4.2.2 messaging app also. It happens in almost any app, like play store, dropbox,chrome....

I thought it was the battery so I replaced it, but it did not fix it. :(

I have been trying to troubleshoot the problem but I ran out of theories. I wish the best luck to find the solution, as I almost gave up on it. If you happen to solve it tell me.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Falkeys:
I think i found out what's causing this issue.

My theory was that apps with a lot of white would trigger the ghost touches. So I tested with flashlight screen apps that only show white on the screen. As expected the ghost touches only started to appear when i turned the flashlight on.

Therefore my theory was correct.

In my case I will contact the seller that sold me the screen to see if I can get a replacement.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nexus MC:
I've had the intermittent touch screen issue, just above the capacitive buttons and also the ghost touches.

Started about 2+ weeks ago.

I reverted back to the stock "HOME" launcher instead of the Google Now launcher and that seemed to have fixed the issue.

I will have to keep an eye out to see if it lasts.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abreudan:
Nexus4 Ghost touch navbar fixed (for rooted only)

Hi everyone. this is my first post. i may make some grammar mistakes, because english is not my native language.

I found a solution for the ghost touch issue on my nexus 4, so maybe it can help who is having the same problem.

1- Download and instal the NOMone Resolution Changer on Play store

(this is my first post here, so i cant paste de link here, but you will not have trouble to find it)

2- when asked, Allow superuser

3- open the app and change the height resolution to 1250. (it worked for me, but make some tests to see if you need to disable a bigger part of the screen to avoid de problem)

This is not the best way to keep using your phone, because you may lost a part of the usable screen, but worked for me.

Thanks!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chavocarlos:
I workaround this issue avoid using undervoling in the kernel, and avoid lower temperatures in phone, yes as you read ... this issue give my crazy when my phone was to hot and I tried to cold my phone using one ice cube in screen and back, the temperature of the phone down but ghost touches appears again, so played some videos to warm the phone again and dissapear again.

Don't ask me about how it works, or relation with screen, digitizer or battery, I don't understand but help me to workaround the issue.

Is there a drain??

View attachment 2933625View attachment 2933626
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] [SIC]:
May I ask why you suspect a drain, like how long does it last and also what's wrong with the built-in bat-stat?

My biggest recommendation is to avoid DL'n every single app and keep it to a minimum.

Mine last roughly 2days with a screen time of 3-4h without charging (was away a weekend recently and took my chances and left the charger at home, used the camera alot incl. 4k shooting and alot of music videos playing and made all the way home with 1 percent :))

Best phone in terms of battery I've come across yet.

Hello, what's your android version and firmware build number? I would like to use it because i'm on 4.4.4 build 14.4.A.0.108 and I'm experiencing fast battery drain.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] F308:
Changing ROM will not help in most cases if you won't discover what is eating battery.

I am on the same above ROM and kernel and I don't complain.

Term 'fast' is not much precise, either.

BTW:

1.3%/h is pretty reasonable if phone was in use from time to time.

Base rule with BBS is to check batery over night, when it is not used at all.

Under those circumstances you should see 0.1-03%/h and that is completely fine.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eumanoid:
how about dropping from 60% to 6% fast? that's my battery problem.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] F308:
As always - check that all automatic synchronizations are off.

google, pictures, facebook, whatsapp.

Hope you don't use WiFi all the time, nor you scan for available networks.

BetterBatteryStats is really helpful, read corresponging thread.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eumanoid:
i dont think using wifi and auto sync will drain my battery from 60% to 6% in just a second. Anyway, i ordered a replacement battery from witrigs. Hope this fixes my problem. Ive tried factory resets and repair through pc companion. still no improvement. Turning stamina mode improves my battery. It no longer drops 50% in a second, just 10%. Still way too low compared to my excellent battery life with kitkat. Before lollipop, i charge my phone every 2 days with heavy use. Now, i need to charge it twice a day with moderate use.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] F308:
If so - I'd come back to KK before replacing battery, if for no other reason then to prove LP is guilty.

BTW:

Long ago I decided not to upgrade to LP.

Looks like evey step ahead is in real life step back.

Everything is more complicated, wants more maintenance, yet works worse than old simple tools.

I never was a huge fan of the stock Galaxy S5 Weather Clock Images (AccuweatherPhone14.apk)

So here is my version of it with "Real Weather" images and a redesigned UI for the full screen weather.

All background images have been replaced with non-flat high quality weather conditions. This includes the widget, list and fullscreen views in both portrait and landscape.

A lot of time and work went into creating this so please if you want to include it in a mod or ROM it is OK but you must let me know through a private message AND link to this thread with appropriate credit given. That is all I ask.

Apks are all deodex.

Should work on ANY rooted galaxy s4 and probably really any KitKat touchwiz device (S4, S5, Note 2/3?). Let me know how it works out for you. Please back up your old clock just in case you don't like this one)

Enjoy!

=============================

Installation instructions:

1. Download and flash from recovery. Includes all neccesarry files and will clean up any old versions and odex files on install.

2. Power up and place widget on screen.

(If widget fails to load data go to application settings and clear the data/cache to the widget/daemon and then it should load fine)

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vndnguyen:
- Regarding CSC, the easiest way to implement the CSC is flashing the firmware. If the firmware is multi-CSC, you can change the CSC by 'CSC Changer' tool (available in the Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app --> Menu --> Other Tools --> CSC Changer).

- Regarding SMS blocking, you can use the built-in blocking feature (Messages --> Settings --> More --> Spam settings). Or there are many SMS blocking app available on the Play Store.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tp2215:
The csc files are located in system/csc you can open all of them on your pc with programs like notepad++. Most likely what you are looking for is most likely feature.xml or other.xml. Customer.xml contains features specific to your carrier such as apns, homepage etc. Just use a file app like esexplorer, open up the zip of the other rom and extract the files you want and then copy and replace the ones in your device and reboot (after backing up of course).
