*HELP* Need Alcatel OT Fierce Settings and Phone App. "settings has stopped"

Hey guys, I've had this phone a while now, I bricked my first one after a messed up update and this one was a little wonky after trying to change the boot logo, I've since fixed the issue and got my phone to work correctly for the most part but ever since programs have begun to stop working. My settings app crashes if I try and do certain things and when I reboot I automatically get the "phone has stopped working" and " messaging has stopped..." errors twice (used to be non stop until I'd open the phone app then they'd stop, so it's good it's only twice now) and I'd like to try and fix it. I've tried all the typical fixes so the next viable option would be to delete the apps from my phone and install working ones from someone else's One Touch Fierce. I have the T-Mobile version, running L2HUMH2 (you can find your version under settings/about phone/software update. I'm guessing the APKs from the updated version would work as well.

So my huge favor to ask is, if anyone with the Alcatel One Touch Fierce could either make a backup of their settings, phone and messages app using titanium backup,(settings app shows as settings 4.2.2-194 in Titanium Backup) or you can find the .apk at /system/app

then just copy settings, mms, and Phone or telephony and maybe even the odex's for each if they are there, to cover all bases.

possibly if you could even copy the folders; Com.android.settings and Com.android.providers settings

at /data/data/

it may help some.

I'd be forever grateful to anyone who can help me and hopefully if this works, Help many others who face this issue as well. If this does work I will upload a complete stock app set for this phone for anyone else who runs into this issue with any other apps Thanks in advance for replies.

Ps/ How I flash a phone with integrated battery?

Hi guys,

So I recently started working but at my work they only accept iPhones on the WiFi network. Is there any way around that?

Maybe spoof my device as an iOS device?

Also, they make us use Lotus Notes (*sad face*) is there also any way I can get my mail service to work on my device? My company explains how to do it on Blackberry... and iOS, but not for Android.

I tried doing it myself, but nothing seems to work so far...

Thanks!

anyone know how install widcomm stack on trinity?
[P3600 General] adewidt:
I did not succeed installing the Widcomm stack.

Had problems with the bluetooth profiles. I think it was caused by some conflicting COM-ports.

On ROM 1.15 I was able to get the software starting without memory errors.

The only problem, the bluetooth module did not start.

No succes for me until today.

Jelly Bean for webtop

hi to all,

first of all sorry for my english.

i usually use webtop with lapdock: so i'm searching for a stable jellybean blur rom that does not have the laggy beaviour of the stock one.

Is better This ([ROM]Jelly Bean stock 982.124.14.XT910.Retail.en.AU IMPROVED LIGHT [07/07/2013]) or ArtMod for my use?

JellyBean IMPROVED LIGHT

Hi, I know this thread is old: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2396234 but this ROM is perfect for use on my RAZR xt910 and a Lapdock 100, so I really want to install it, but the thing is, I just can't install it on Stock slot, it just doesn't install it. I tried BMM 0.3.4 and SS 3.11, but it just won't install it. With BMM it get's stucked on M logo, and on SS I went as far as to remove the current rom and install it, but even after getting a "succsesful" note, SS claims there is no OS installed. What can I do to install this ROM on Stock Slot? Thanks.

[Nexus 9 General] cha-ka-lak:
Hi all,

on my Nexus 9, update to LRX21Q failed: After reboot, the android icon was shown with "error" below.

I suppose, update failed as my system is rooted with the method Chainfire posted in the development forum.

After an additional reboot, the previous firmware is still shown. The system does not offer the update anymore but claims to be up-to-date.

Any hints? Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 9 General] simmac:
Maybe it's the modified kernel from Chainfire. Try to get back to the stock kernel and try again.
[Nexus 9 General] StuMcBill:
Download the factory image, flash recovery, boot, system & vendor.

Your software will be updated and you won't lose any data. You will lose root however.
[Nexus 9 General] JPMoPho:
I got the same error from OTA with no root. Only had 9 for 2 days, got OTA rite out of box no issue.

Yesterday for new build i get little error android icon upon reboot/install. :confused:
[Nexus 9 General] doitright:
Obviously, something that is being changed by the "root" process is being checked DURING the update process. Probably a checksum on the boot partition. If it doesn't match, it bails on the update.

The likely reason for this is they acknowledge that you don't want to lose your root.

All it means is that you need to do the update manually.

It may be possible for a modified recovery to bypass this check, or possibly even be made to auto-root new boot images.
[Nexus 9 General] cha-ka-lak:
Thanks, guys. Will try as suggest above and post results.

Update: worked perfectly, needed to root again though.
[Nexus 9 General] nealkoy:
has anyone tried this? i would like to update without losing data...
[Nexus 9 General] mk92595:
Flash through fastboot and you will be fine. Thats what I did then rerooted with CF autoroot
[Nexus 9 General] zeebone:
What's the fastboot command for the img? Do you flash as boot, system, etc?

[Nexus 9 General] pantmunu:
Should there be a - sign between reboot and bootloader .. And is fastboot flash vender or vendor... Just making sure .
[Nexus 9 General] mk92595:
Yes there should be a - sign and vendor. Sorry i'm not home so I don't have the files near me.

Where can i find the images for download. Thx
[Nexus 9 General] cha-ka-lak:
Google for nexus factory image.
[Nexus 9 General] maarten08:
Update failed on me too. Completely stock
[Nexus 9 General] Dr. Hurt:
UPDATE:

Apparently *some* devices didn't get the recovery updated with the last update (LRX21L).

The new update (LRX21Q) requires the newer version of the recovery to install.

Google really messed up the launch of the Nexus 9 with all the HW/SW quality control issues

Serious f#ck-up from Google really :(
[Nexus 9 General] nimdae:
Interesting thing I noticed: I restored factory images manually in order to unroot and the OTA was no longer available. I verified I was still running on L. I manually installed the update and it went in just fine.

Now waiting on the root package to be updated for the Q kernel. You can re-root but you will be running on the L kernel, not the Q kernel.
[Nexus 9 General] FrankDrebin:
My too fck Google
[Nexus 9 General] mcdevtingz:
Mine failed and Im not even rooted

And im not sure if it did the update as its not showing a new one. Im on L
[Nexus 9 General] StuMcBill:
Yeah I did. As long as you don't flash userdata or factory reset, you should be fine.
[Nexus 9 General] black7:

[Nexus 9 General] brushrop03:
Why wouldn't they???

I hope so, don' t want to go back to factory image to get the update...
[Nexus 9 General] ericplatham:
This Works!

Thank you Black7 for the process and images to flash. It worked on my device.

If rooted, you will lose root though. I did read that you can run through CF-Auto-Root after the flash.
[Nexus 9 General] marctronixx:
the tablet works fine now without the update. i dont feel i should jump through hoops side loading files to push the update.

goog knows about it and ill wait for them to push it out. im not a person who tinkers with this gear. i just expect it to work. ill happily wait for the corrected ota....
[Nexus 9 General] brushrop03:
Why are you on XDA then? lol
[Nexus 9 General] nimdae:
If you rerun the same root as you did with the L firmware, you will be returning to the L kernel. FYI. From what I can tell, the root has not been updated yet.
[Nexus 9 General] ericplatham:
Yes, i was just reading through the threads in detail and decided to hold off until root is updated.
[Nexus 9 General] richii0207:
XDA also includes many other topics, general discussions, troubleshooting, apps, accessories, etc. Just like they have car forums in which I am also a part of without ricing my car out.
[Nexus 9 General] harshw:
Thanks. I did that and I notice the recovery is still at LFW73W. What does this mean for the next OTA ? And how can we update recovery to LRX21Q ?
[Nexus 9 General] jdellingson7:
Root with update?

Flar just updated his kernel with the OTA update. Couldn't we flash the images and then flash his kernel and have root with the update? Was going to try but I really don't want to lose root and I don't have older factory images to go back.
[Nexus 9 General] black7:
As you may have noticed, there was no recovery image included with the package provided by Google. Until Google provides an updated recovery this is the one we're going to be using. I wouldn't worry too much about the 'mismatch' as they'll probably release an OTA that updates this in the future. We can always manually flash to update if it comes down to it.
[Nexus 9 General] thebrainkafka:
Why dont you flash recovery Form Q?

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rodrigo Vilhena:
Hello guys I have a chevy 2014 with Mylink, when I pair my LG G3 running dalvick mode I don't have any problem listening to music and answer calls. But on Adroid 4.4x or 5.0 when I change to ART mode, the music sound quality get very bad, the sound fails and seems to be playing slowly, the calls work perfect just music have that problem.

On other devices like bose dock or beats wireless, I can listening to music on ART using bluetooth without problem, that just happens on Mylink.

Any idea what is going on?

Thank you very much!

Samsung is bringing live traffic data and other new driving-related functionality to users of some of its Galaxy devices following a deal with traffic info provider Inrix.

Due to arrive “just in time for the holidays,” the deal will see Inrix’s data power “several new apps and services” aimed at saving drivers time and frustration. In addition to providing live traffic info, the deal also means apps can more accurately represent the time of arrival. Initially, the new features will only be available on the Galaxy Note 4, Galaxy Note Edge and Gear S smartwatch.

People like you give this forum a bad name. Please dont reply if you cant help being rude.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
The forum gets it's bad name from the stupid questions asked over and over (and over) again each time a new update comes out, not from frustration boiling over. I was being rude so next time the person will think twice about posting and think to use the search function first...

And, for the record, I said the question was retarded, not the person asking it ;) Perhaps don't take everything in life so seriously
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonnyguitar:
I guess it depends what the remit of the forum is. I was of the opinion noobs were welcome. Often the search either takes or frankly isn't that effective.

Thankfully I'm thick-skinned, but I wonder how many people would now be afraid to post in fear of their question being called "retarded". Seems like something you should keep for the playground to me.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Actually, this forum was never originally designed for n00bs - quite the opposite! The side-affect of Android taking off means more have come here for information but very few are willing to learn/read/search and just want instant answer. This isn't the way forward and, as a n00b, you should come and read as much as possible first and only when truly stuck do you ask for help. Even rule number 1 of this very forum is to search:

This is my take on what I've read posted from more senior members than myself and is the view I share :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
This.

We're here for development purposes. A side effect of ROM development unfortunately is noobs. Thats why we spent a lot of time making sticky threads in the hope that you can all draw from our knowledge and have enough info to not ask these sorts of questions.

That said, please see the "guides and info threads" link in my signature. You will learn a lot there and it would have prevented asking the question about having to reflash the image (which is unfortunately a really basic question)

I have done this through the OS, stock recovery, and through TWRP.. still showing 12.55GB as total space on a 32GB N5, any other ideas? Just getting restless on the wipes.

Also, in case it's needed, I was getting the system image error, flashed each command separately, and did the fastboot flash cache/userdata steps as well when I first flashed the system.img
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilikethepenkils:
I fixed my issue... reflashed all the files, and then before booting up fully, I booted into recovery and cleared cache and userdata, then ran everything properly.

Finally showing the proper size and even rooted and TWRP installed, no issues so far. Good luck!

I've been trying to do the same for hours, followed method 2 : [TUTORIAL] How to flash a factory image

up to : "★When a small dead Android appears, press Power Button + Volume UP."

But when I press power+volume up nothing happens

Any idea ? Also is there a reason why fastboot boot recovery twrp.img does not work ?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilikethepenkils:
you need to put it into cmd as "Fastboot boot recovery recovery.img" you're basically telling it to flash the recovery and it not knowing what is the recovery is why it's not working. Also, for the PWR Button + UP just keep pressing it, what I do is hold the power button and then press up and down till something happens. Give it a shot :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caddish:
Thanks playing with the button until something happens did the trick. Also for future reference formatting data after that can be fairly long

You weren't kidding about the length. Clearing cache took about 2 min. I am formatting my data now and I think it been working at it for 7 min now.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonnyredcorn:
This form have had a lot of new members recently since Android has become more mainstream which means we are getting a lot more questions that have been answered multiple times. Most of the new people that come here are just looking for answers and don't spend the time to search. The best thing we can do as senior members is either tell them the answer they are looking for and showing them how to search or search for them and show them how you found the answer. That might help them in the future to not ask simple questions that have been answered before. There's no reason to be rude we were all noobs at one point. You gotta remember also a lot of the new members are younger kids and we all know how impatient younger kids are. So did give xda a good name the best thing we can do is help them out but also then find what they are looking for themselves by showing them how search works. It might take more time on our end but not much more time then berating them for not searching.

In most cases it only takes 5 or 10 seconds to answer the question anyway so you might as well just answer the question and tell them to search next time which will help them find their answer quicker. No need to be condescending.

Yes I read that too. I am assuming (hoping) they push out Lollipop in sync with those new apps. Find it hard to imagine they would do what seems a large update to existing Kitkat when Lolloipop is obviously under development and close (I can smell it). Fingers crossed fellas.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ozaghloul:
So how will these traffic updates work? Is it going to integrate to google maps (which already has its own traffic feature). Or will they push out a Samsung Navigate?

Also which regions will get traffic updates? North America or the whole world, or just Korea?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] lawhawk:
I saw an alert today showing an accident ahead and it said alerted and verified by waze- which is a crowd sourcing app for traffic, so maybe they are integrating a number of means of keeping it updated live?

I don't have waze installed, but have tried it out before, so it wasn't polling info from my phone as I don't have it installed.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Grims:
Thats a Google Maps feature, nothing to do with Samsung. Google bought waze a while back and has been integrating some of the crowdsourced data into Maps.
