I use adb tools to temporarily block a apk from boot.

echo connect to phone

adb shell

echo list all apk

pm list packages

echo block a apk

pm block com.package_name

echo unblock a apk

pm unblock com.package_name

Then use Root Explorer to move corresponding file from system disk to external memory, only when the phone has been working perfect for a while after pm block.

[HTC Excalibur] lafester:
As far as I know my faves settings have not really been covered.

Funny I just started my faves today and am researching this problem right now.

deleting the value causes the phone to first try and load my faves and then give up and load the last used homescreen. Renaming to the current homescreen works but then you have to change it when you change your homescreen. ugh.

there has to be a setting somewhere to change the default to off but so far I have not found it.

I have heard that the battery drain is incredible high on lollipop based custom roms. Also the camera quality isn't good as the stock one.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vPro97:
There's really no need to make a compromise anymore since dual boot became avaliable. Sure lollipop roms are still in beta, there are some bugs like camera and battery life suxks, if you like AOSP, dual boot can actually give you the best of both worlds with minimal effort when switching.

When you need that extra battery life or the better camera, you simply boot into the Stock ROM and otherwise you can use your favorite ROM.

It literally takes me about 30 seconds to switch (reboot to recovery, flash a file and reboot).

There's a multi boot thread here in the G2 General section which you'll have to look into if you're interested

After 3 days tried to find out how to recovered or fix bootloop/brick ME170C, here is the way which was succeed for me.

1. Download latest firmware from ASUS website

the best way using complete firmware (containing stock rom) like this version UL-K017-WW-11.2.3.18.2-user, if succeed then later on you can continue with OTA system update

2. Rename the firmware file to K017_sdupdate.zip and put on SD card then Insert the SD card into a tablet. (Use good one SD card, Sandisk perfect I don't know others)

3. Download flashtools and USB driver at the bottom of this thread

4. Enter the DROIDBOOT, for this purpose on the tablet off push and hold button volume + and power then connect USB cable to tablet and PC.

5. Open your firmware archive and copy or drag & drop the boot.img, fastboot.img, splashscreen.img into Flashtools folder ( in computer )

6. go to flashtools folder and then push button shift and right click together and choose “Open command windows here”, to start open CMD on the right folder (in computer)

7. Test your device by typing fastboot devices on that cmd (in computer)

8. Enter the queue codes on CMD; (in computer)

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot erase system

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash fastboot fastboot.img

fastboot flash splashscreen splashscreen.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

8. Disconnect the USB cable and select the SD update or Recovery.

9. Take your coffee and sit, walaaaaaaa I see you are smiling :o:o:o

I am curious , is it work for others ASUS tablet? do with your own risk, but btw with this step I did wake up a hard brick devices.

K01A, aka ASUS MeMO Pad ME170CX

Prod date 2014-10 IIRC.

I appreciate you taking time to create this thread, have been unable to flash stock firmware to the ME170CX using just the ME170CX itself. ASUS website just mentions a SOP method and when I insert SD that has had the firmware files which have been extracted (1) time to the SD card, the prompt that is supposed to "pop-up" on the taskbar as mentioned in the PDF's I found online about the SOP method does NOT occur.

(I have 2 ME170CX's about 30-days old running 4.4.2, firmware Version WW_V11.2.3.27 in which one of them all the sudden the camera app crashes 100% of the time, then gives a "No camera is found" error message.

Beyond a hardware issue no-one knows what causes this beyond (1) poster that mentioned he thought problem first occurred after hitting the "Home" button right after hitting the cam icon and the thought is the app gets confused by this and the app/firmware for the camera gets corrupted.

Reset via OS itself. Wiping data and choosing "Recovery" in DROIDBOOT with "FASTBOOT" text at bottom of screen didn't make any difference. Camera is dead, dead, dead.

Figured I'd re-flash with same Version WW_V11.2.3.27, if that doesn't work try Version WW_V11.2.3.28 before RMA'ing it back to ASUS so I appreciate you listing the steps, and also attaching the needed files.)

***************

Question about Step 2, Please clarify:

To clarify you are saying to extract the firmware from the "zip" package of zip that matches the firmware specific to the device from ASUS, which itself contains a zip file named IFWI.ZIP (1 ), one time, then rename the file named IFWI.ZIP (which contains 4 Bin files) to K017_sdupdate.zip.

Upon extraction process completing and renaming the zip you then copy the contents over to a known good MiroSD of at least 2GB which is formatted FAT32 to the ROOT of the drive.

IE: You do not extract the zip within the archive, you're just renaming IFWI.ZIP to K017_sdupdate.zip?

OR are you saying to extract the BINS also?

If so do these go in the ROOT of the SD card?

Another question, is there a reason for renaming IFWI.zip to K017_sdupdate.zip?

.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sevensvr:
some firmware when you download it from asus site ZIP compresed twice, you can rename it directly from WW_V11.2.3.28.zip to K017_sdupdate.zip, if your device is K01A try to renaming firmware to K01A_sdupdate.zip and then put in SD card (do not created any folder in SD card ). the key to success is the SD card compatibility with ASUS DROIDBOOT, I was using Sandisk SD card. I did format fat32 the SD card and insert in another android devices first and then put the renamed firmware file there.

inside firmware file there is boot.img, fastboot.img and splashscreen.img you need to extract it in flashtool/fasboot folder and then flashing it your tablet. this trick to make firmware recognize correct devices to be update.

try again.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WeAreNotAlone:
RE: boot.img, fastboot.img and splashscreen.img you need to extract it in flashtool/fasboot folder ???????

Having some progress, renaming ifwi.zip which contains (4) bin files when Recovery was selected caused the robot with the Updating System Settings to appear, but a couple of seconds later it said ERROR with the robot laying on it's back, then it exits. Device reboots as normal.

To clarify:

WW_V11.2.3.28.zip download from ASUS was extracted with a Windows computer,

WW_V11.2.3.28.zip extracting /creating following folders, files, then the contents were copied to the ROOT of a MicroSD card formated Fat32

1: boot.img, fastboot.img and splashscreen.img (TO ROOT)

2: ifwi.zip to ROOT. (contains (4) bin files, is this supposed to be extracted to I assume folder by same name off root? OR does this ZIP file just get renamed?)

3: System folder

4: Recovery folder

5: META-INF folder

I do not see a flashtool/fasboot folder. (Fastboot, right?)

Q: Is boot.img, fastboot.img and splashscreen.img supposed to be in a folder named "Flashtool" OR are they supposed to be in folder named "Fastboot" with a pathway of Root (Drive) D:/Flashtool/fastboot ?

.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WeAreNotAlone:
(NOTE ALL OF THIS IS BEING DONE ON THE DEVICE ITSELF, with contents on SD card.)

Still getting the ERROR! message wit the Adroid robot that is laying on his back.

The zip file that extracts from the main zip WW_V11.2.3.28.zip is named:

ifwi.zip...

I have left a copy of it in the ROOT, plus copied it and renamed it to

K01A_sdupdate.zip

K017_sdupdate.zip

LEAVING COPIES OF ALL IN THE ROOT OF THE SDCARD.

Q: If more than (1) zip is present does this confuse fastboot? OR does fastboot automatically look for zip zip which matches model ID of device? (K01A)

I have left copies of boot.img, fastboot.img and splashscreen.img in the ROOT of the drive.

AND

Created: (ROOT) flashtools/fastboot with *img files in it.

Created: (ROOT) fastboot with *img files in it.

Copied the *img files to under "Flashtools" folder in flashtools/fastboot.

Figuring all the bases would be covered. (EG: *img Files in ROOT, files in Flashtools, Flashtools/fastboot, and a folder named fastboot as well.

Q: I've noticed on the SD card files appearing that previously were not there, when the flash aborts is there some kind of file or files you need to delete, or is it ok to leave the newly generated files there?
