[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crotty.Josh:
I'm sorry for pulling the noob card. I have managed to backup my EFS using TWRP. I would like a second type of backup to be sure before I move any further. I've been down the lost IMEI on my Note 2. So my new G3 is a VS985 and this method does not seem to work? It goes through all of the steps, but when I look for the created folder there is nothing. Even the folder does not exist. One thing I have noticed is that when I try to create a backup from TWRP to the internal storage the same behavior occurs. Something is written and even TWRP can find it. Although when I am looking around for the created folder... I find nothing. Although when I write a backup to the SDcard it can be found. So if someone could help me with this it would be great. Thank you all for your time.

I think this is the same issue as the poster above me.

Hello guys, this is my first post and question so please I hope mistakes will be forgiven

So I am using jb 4.2.2 rooted s4 and whenever I install a 3rd party launcher and restart the cell it hangs on samsung logo and get stuck there forever. I have to literally pull back the battery and put it 9 10 times to8 let it boot past logo successfully. First launchers used to work fine. I dont know if any app is causing it. Tried wiping cache and dalvik cache. Still problem persist.

Also I cant update my android from setting update menu. It first says registering device and then shows error "processing failed". Used to happen before root too :(

Hey there.

I'm completely new to android (got it today)

now i've seen a mod named cyanogenmod and i thought it would be awesome if it runs on my device

So i rooted my device and from there i'm stuck

I don't know if my bootrom is locked but i assume so. But i have no idea where to begin..

i tried to lookup some tutorials but it's clearly for advanced users cause i only see ???:confused: in my head :(

As an ios user for quite some time the android side of 'hacking' is much more complicated as a user.

can anyone help me unlock my bootrom and installing this custom rom?

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pinktheater:
I updated to the latest firmware version to be able to use Insert Coin 5.0.1. The problem is that after doing that, my phone is only showing the HTC logo and the white screen.

If I plugged it into the PC it recognizes the phone and when I boot it even plays the music, it is like it is working but I can only see the HTC white screen with the logo.

I have tried to install a custom recovery, trried to get back to stock but the problem is that I didn't have USB debugging enabled so ADB will never recognize the phone.

Is there any way to bring the phone back or did I just turned into an expensive paperweight?

Edit 1: My sister in law just called me and I was able to accept the call. At least that shows the phone is working, is just the stupid logo screen won't go away.

Edit 2: i went back to the previous firmware version, but the same issue remains. I don't know what else to do, any ideas please help!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] b3asty:
Let me preface by saying that I have been a Nova prime launcher user since as far back as I can recall. My beautiful white Nova outfitted Note 3 is sitting right next to me still connected via wifi as I transfer my experience to my Note 4. That said, I committed to actually giving TouchWiz a chance with this purchase and so far so good. Granted, it's just one day in but thus far TouchWiz feels and works wonderfully. There are certain cues that are lost when going to a 3rd party launcher which drove my decision to really commit to giving TW a shot this time around. So far I have been able to avoid going to the play store and grabbing trusty ol Nova..lol

I'm interested in hearing the thoughts from those of you that are also using TW. Please share.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] harlenm:
I don't like the app drawer icon in the bottom right, nor the spacing of the icons. That being said, it runs nice on this phone. I too have been using Nova exclusively for years, but have been using Google now launder and really like it. Going to stick with it for at least a while.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] jokesonme:
I am with you 100%. I was a Note 3 user with my sexy Nova Prime since I got it, and I would never go back to touchwiz.... until now. So far I have made it 2 days on Touchwiz. I mean it is clean, and it looks awesome, but I miss having more rows for icons, and mainly for stretching my widgets. So I feel at some time I am going to switch back. I wanted to give Touchwiz 2 days to see the battery effect when switching to Nova. I definitely am with you I would like to hear other peoples views, if anyone is using Apex, and what features they are switching to a launcher to get, for me its:

- 5 rows of icons

- App drawer also shows widgets

- App drawer can scroll apps vertically and horizontally

- When pressing and holding an icon you have the option to remove, uninstall, all from the app, without having to click it, hold it, and drag to remove. And then going to the app draw, clicking, dragging, and dropping on uninstall.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Jennygirl:
Thank you for posting about google now launcher, somehow I missed that one. I love it!

I was also pretty happy with touchwiz (I used TW the whole time with note 3), but GNL is still so much cleaner and I love the integrated full screen google now. Google has a much better sense for interface design.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] b3asty:
I'm on day three with TW and haven't had any strange impulses to go grab Nova. This is good. No lag. Silky smooth. The only tweak I made this far was to change all of the animation settings to .5 in developer settings.

This phone is incredible. I didn't think it could get no much better coming from my note 3 but they've really stepped things up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] falcons2:
I've always used launchers and roms to mimic stock android but since I got the note 4 I haven't even thought about it. I'm pretty impressed with TouchWiz on this phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] CFStanton:
I too am going on three days with Touchwiz. On my GS4 I used GNL modified with Xposed. I miss the swipe left for Google Now, but otherwise it has been a much better experience than Touchwiz on my Captivate, GS2 or GS4. Once/if we get root I may be convinced to switch, until then I will stick with Touchwiz.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] lebertian:
I found slightly laggy so I went back to Nova, but I might give it a second chance. The thing I definitely find not as smooth as expected is the recent apps, it takes a bit for the phone to show them once you tap the button, and a it to switch to the newly selected app. Nothing huge but with the phone's specs I expected a bit more

On my note 2 I was an avid Nova user, I am trying to use the stock touchwiz, but find myself annoyed that I cannot alphabetize apps in a folder.

I might give it a week then jump back to Nova, le sigh.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] boufa:
The fix for this is allegedly the update that is floating around for the Note 4. The international versions have it, and the TMo version got it yesterday (I think). It fixes the recent applications button and improves the battery life. So it is said at least.

Not sure when AT&T is going to release it. I would expect it any minute, but thats just an opinion, no one really knows.

Good to hear that! Hopefully AT&T won't take forever, but that might be wishing too much lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] spinedoc:
TW isn't bad at all, but I like Nova because I can change the icon size/spacing and also take the padding out of widgets and fit a LOT more on my screens.

The one thing I freaking HATE is all the white in TW now, the settings menus, etc. WHY!?!?!?!? Don't devs understand that we have this thing called darkness? Man they should at least give us the option of a dark theme.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] ekinnee:
Read this thread, went back to TW from Nova. The ONLY thing I have an issue with is the short ass home screen. A 4x2 Dashclock widget and two rows of icons on a 2560x1440 display? Really?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] flexfield:
+1 don't understand why the grid (rows/columns) can't be adjusted in TW on this beautiful device!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Jennygirl:
I don't stop much mind the new bright digs... It seems to feel less dungeony with the darkness + blue green color slop.

Every menu feels a bit happier and lighter now- less like windows xp.

I think I'm already sold on the google now launcher. The big icons really accent the color accuracy and detail of this screen.. way more than TW in my opinion where the icons feel small and spaced too far away from each other.

I've never tried Nova. What do your guys' home screens look like with that? (if you don't mind sharing)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] mcaleer1:
I prefer Nova but for some reason I lost the pin feature from action note when I did this. On that note, I'll give TW a try for a bit.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Rob Irizarry:
I switched to Nova Launcher Prime on the second day. Keep in mind this doesn't represent default Nova. But I like a clean screen and use gestures for a few other apps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] JasW:
I immediately set up with the Google Now launcher, but this morning I'm back to giving TW a chance. As someone mentioned, the icon spacing on TW is horrible. But one thing I do like that GNL doesn't provide is message/notification counts on the stock email, messaging, FB app, etc. icons. I do like that feature. It's easy enough to switch back and forth in any event.

Edit: Here is GNL and TW side by side.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] naruto.ninjakid:
my main complaint with TouchWiz is that I'm an avid custom rom flasher but you can't backup your layout like in nova so restoring your layout every time is a big hassle. Plus not being able to edit the grid size is annoying. I was going to try TouchWiz but I'm just going to start with nova after a few days and restore my layout from my oneplus.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] ewingr:
I went to Nova immediately. Interestingly, one of the main reasons is something that for the life of me I don't know why they don't implement it in TW. About all 3rd party launchers havce it: multiple docks, that slide across.

There are some nice things about Nova from a view standpoint, but all the things that drive me are it's functionality. Just a couple other things that I use and would miss are:

Various sorting in the app drawer

Gestures, everywhere: on the screen, and on each item in the task bar

Backup of Nova settings is nice, but I don't plan to do ROM changes on this, so not so important

Having the sliding dock, I also use Folder Organizer (much better than stock), and each of my dock icons are a FO shortcut, and I have gestures on each to provide my most used option from a given folder. Couldn't do that with TW.

What I am really hoping to hear in this thread is, what am I missing by NOT using TW?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] meanhacker:
let's differentiate between touchwiz UI and the touchwiz launcher.

the launcher is okay, it's pretty smooth but Nova feels way better.

the continuous scrolling drives me nuts because I like how if you get to the left-most page on nova, you know to scroll the other way to get exactly where you want; on the tw launcher i get lost especially if i'm doing something else outside the phone

on tw launcher, the dock items are re-arrangeable, except for the Apps icon, which I prefer to be in the middle.

also, the widgets are resizable in both, tw and nova, which is good, but icons on tw are not editable (caption, image, etc...)

when using a live wallpaper like Muzei, the sides are cut off and you cannot see the full image. wallpaper scrolling is disabled and there seems no way around it other than downloading another launcher.

if you want to quickly add widgets to your tw "phonetop", it's not as easy as going to the app drawer and getting it there. you have to click and hold empty on an empty area, and add widgets through there.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] lawalty:
I've purchased the Nova launcher a long time ago, and fell in love with it. With my adventures with the note line (note 2, note 3, and note 4), I have been liking some of the functionality of tw regarding s-note. You can pin any s-note on the note 4's home screens, plus tw's stock email and messaging icons shows the unread count. Yes yes yes, I can download third party apps that would allow the same thing in widgets, however you can't put widget icons in the dock area.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] ReggieSmith:
Saw another post where users were stating that switching the runtime to ART (letting it take its 25- 30 minutes to boot) and then switching back to Dalvik resolved the long delay when hitting the recent apps key. They were initially complaining of 2-3 second delays and this dropped it to almost nothing. I am currently only seeing about a 1/2 second delay on mine so I don't feel the urge to do it. (I can take a 1/2 second.) But if it gets worse i will try this little trick.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] lebertian:
Mine takes like a second or so... not terrible, but I just expected something better having this hardware... Heck, my Note 2 runing AOSP ROMs was almost instant bringing up the recents! I know this is TW but still a bit disappointing
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] ewingr:
Well, mine was not overly slow, maybe a second. After trying the suggested 'fix', it remains at around a second.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] :
I've tried other launchers but always come back to TouchWiz. I've been stock everything from day one. I did have some severe lag a few days ago. I looked at my uptime (185+ hours), a simple reboot took care of any lag issues and been running smooth since. This is my 3rd Note, and actually the first time I'm using the S-Pen daily.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] WizeGuyDezignz:
The lag on stock apps after you click on them sucks on Nova. I'm right back on Touchwiz.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] b3asty:
Hmm.. Interesting how this has unfolded. I initially began the discussion while seriously giving TW a chance. I have since been back using trusty Nova Prime for the past two weeks. No lag and extreme customization which I love.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] WizeGuyDezignz:
Just as one example of many, click on the stock messaging app in Touchwiz and in Nova and you will see what I'm talking about. Nova takes longer to register the click. It also happened with Go SMS, so it wasn't just stock apps.
