Dude, I'm sorry for not reading closer to begin with, but ya, you're trying to flash a JB rom with a KK recovery. 2.7 and up are for kk only. I'm so sorry...

Did you flash a gapps zip with Beanstalk? Did you do a completely clean install?

If you still want to flash a 10.2 cm you're going to have to find the appropriate recovery, and there I'm of no use since I entered this phone on kk and don't know anything about its jb history. Also don't know about the USB tether part either (I don't use it) so you're probably going to have to do some searching, flashing, and experimentation.

But bright side is we've figured out why you couldn't flash the cm rom. Either stay on kk or above, or start scrolling through the dev section looking for jb recovery...
[Verizon LG G2] Hardley97:
SUCCESS!

Last night I read a bit deeper into the CM11/12 thread and found a more noob-friendly breakdown of the directions on pages 4-6. I worked up my courage to dive into adb and it turned out to be easier than it looked. Another failed flash on the CM10.2 ROM left little doubt that the rom had to be the problem, and your last reply confirmed it. I went back to the CyanogenMod download page and grabbed a zip of CM11 and now I'm up and running!

Thank you so much again. I sent a donation to JackpotClavin, and I'd like to do so for you as well, if I could. I don't see a PayPal link in your signature, though.
[Verizon LG G2] njstein:
So glad it worked for you and you're up and running!

Nah, bro, I'm good. Give it to the devs, they deserve it. Giving knowledge through experience is what xda is all about, pass it on when you can. Thank you, though!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] LiquidHonesty:
I have a fairly new 8525 (bout a month old) and the problem is it hardly ever wants to vibrate when I get a new mail message. It will at times, but it never wanted to vibrate upon receipt of a new email message. I just figured that's how it was supposed to be until I installed a trial of Wisbar Avanced and it had a setting for "vibrate" to turn on in it...and it worked like it should. It would vibrate anytime I got a new email, even if the screen was off, the device was locked, and i hadn't touched it in a while.

I removed the trial, and now I can't get it to vibrate at all....anyone have any ideas? It's annoying, I want my vibrate back!!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
Well initially you need to pin down whether it's a software/registry setting problem or the fairly commom hardware problem.

Can you reinstall the trial of WA and see if this re-instates the vibrate function? I am of course assuming that the device is set to vibrate and that currently it does not vibrate under any circumstances including when st for phonecalls.

Mike
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] LiquidHonesty:
Correct, it used to only vibrate if it hadn't been locked/asleep. With WA is vibrated as it should. Now it doesn't vibrate at all..........

I reinstalled WA real quick after you posted this to try, and yup, it vibrates like it should with it installed.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
Well at least we know its a software issue. I'm using my TyTn to post this so a little difficult to do searches on registry settings for vibrate, but will check later or you could try searching meantime.

Mike
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] LiquidHonesty:
After searching the registry and such, no luck. Anyone have any other suggestions?

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c627627:
Launching a web link from Android home screen always launches the native browser on Galaxy S5 stock 4.4.2.

Phone is rooted.

No other browsers are installed, except for Chrome.

Changing default browser is impossible because when I go to Settings > Application manager > Internet > Clear defaults is grayed out.

How can I get it ti present me with a choice screen on which browser I want to use?

I tried installing Firefox and Dolphin and still the problem remains - no prompts to choose default browser.

EDIT:

HUGE clarification: I just texted a web page link to someone and I realized that I could click on it when looking at my sent text...

Well clicking on it DOES bring up the choice menu of which browser I want to use to open that web page link.

SO this is only about launching web links from Home Screen:

Native Browser > Bookmarks > Long press on any bookmark to CHECK it > Settings [three dots in upper right] > Add shortcut to home screen.

Now *those* Home Screen bookmark shortcuts can only be launched in Native Browser whereas you used to have a choice which browser to use before....

The Internet app will always be grayed regardless of whatever browser you install. You need to root your phone to freeze (Disable) the stock Internet app.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *Detection*:
Strange, installing a new browser should clear defaults and give you the option to choose which browser to use as default again, I disabled Chrome before I rooted from Application Manager, try doing that

If that fails, Try clearing the cache from recovery
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c627627:
Thank you for posting.

First poster: The phone is rooted. What do you mean by freeze (disable) stock internet app?

I tried Settings > Application manager > ALL > Internet > Force stop

No change. Clear defaults is still grayed out in the default browser.

Second poster: I agree, I tried installing new browsers and still the defaults remain.

We are trying to change the default away from the stock browser so I don't know what Chrome has to do with it but OK I Force Stopped Chrome in the Application Manager too.

No change.

I then went to TWRP Recovery and wiped Cache. No Change.

Clear defaults is still grayed out in the default browser. Phone is T-Mobile Galaxy S5, rooted, stock Android 4.4.2, Baseband G900TUVU1ANE6

Any other ideas?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *Detection*:
I was suggesting actually disabling Chrome from Application Manager, same place as you forced stop - it might say "Uninstall updates", then once you do that, Disable should appear

Once Chrome is disabled, it might force Android to clear defaults on it - same with the Stock browser
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c627627:
Chrome can be Turned off. But Chrome is not default and doing that has no bearing on native browser which still insists on being default regardless of how many other browsers are installed.

I really only want the option to choose which browser launches an internet link, I like not to have a default browser so that I can open different links in different browsers.

But now I get no choice to choose, every link opens in native browser which is not affected by anything suggested so far...
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *Detection*:
If you're rooted, disable the stock / native browser

Find it in /system/app or wherever it is, and rename the .apk to .apk.old

EDIT - /system/app/SBrowser

Rename SBrowser.apk to SBrowser.apk.old

EDIT -There is SBrowserTry too - has the same icon as the SBrowser

Not specifically for this issue, but shows you the files corresponding to the stock browser you can rename

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c627627:
Renaming them automatically removes all my internet links from Home Screens.

Now there's no way to have the internet page links on home screens... making which browser is default irrelevant.

How else would I test or set a default browser, if my web links disappeared from the Home Screen?

Renaming them back, restores earlier behavior of native browser (what is the name of the native browser?) being default with no option to change the default browser.

Somewhat on topic, I cannot believe that no one in this world has a need to open url shortcuts, I mean I've had my Windows Favorites folder for 20 years, it's filled with all my shortcuts and in Android 3 there was an app that would automatically open them (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zapek.android.stuntzurl) but Android 4 broke that and so I guess it is not possible to have url shortcuts simply open a web page in Android 4.

Also, somewhat on topic, why is there no folder which contains contents of home screens so that they can be backed up, I mean, in Windows there is a Desktop folder and it contains everything that you have on your Desktop, you can back that folder up, so that if anything disappears you can simply restore it... why not in Android?

And while I'm on a role, is it not mind-boggling that you cannot import or backup bookmarks to files in Android browsers? No, you have to have a desktop computer, make accounts, upload your settings and bookmarks, then try to download it into Android browsers (which inevitably can and does fail to import all data)... why would there not be a simple, import or export bookmarks feature in Android browsers... how is this not unbelievable for any Android browser creator not to offer that option, to import/export bookmarks from a file, or from other Android browsers even?

But back on topic if anyone has any ideas on how to get a prompt asking me which browser I want to open a Home Screen web link in... please post...

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *Detection*:
Sounds like whichever browser you use to create the shortcuts, is the only one that will open the shortcuts, so if you want to use a different browser, you'll need to create those shortcuts from that browser in the first place

Android is massively different and limited compared to Windows/PC OS - you can't really compare them and expect a comparably young mobile OS to live up to the same standards as a mature PC OS

But I do agree, you should be given the same choice with web links / shortcuts, it's not exactly brain surgery to know the links need to open a browser, and give the user choice of which one to use
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c627627:
I distinctly remember being able to do this on my old phones in Android.

1. How do you add a bookmark shortcut from Chrome or any browser other than native browser?

2. Can you replicate this issue, do you also not get a choice on which browser to use when you click on a bookmark shortcut on your Home Screen?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *Detection*:
I use Dolphin, and to create homescreen shortcuts, open the website you want, hit the small dolphin icon at the bottom, choose "Add to" and choose "Home screen"

And no, even clearing defaults on dolphin, when I click the shortcut, it only opens in Dolphin, no choice - so I guess that's the issue, if you want it to open in a certain browser, create the shortcut using that browser

I have Chrome disabled
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c627627:
Thanks for the tip. Dolphin works!

Can Home Screen shortcuts be created in Chrome or Firefox?

I don't have Chrome running so can't test, but Firefox can, I just went to the Bookmarks tab and long pressed on one of my bookmarks and it gave the option to add to homescreen

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ghostgaming:
Hello XDA. Currently I own a Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH T999 from T-Mobile. As soon as I got it I had my cousin root it for me. For a while I had no issues flashing ROMS. The ROM I am using is AVATAR 4.2.2. I am noticing now that when I go to flash a new ROM it stays in the boot logo screen. It does that with just about every ROM I try to flash. I went back to my cousin and he updated TWRP for me. To this day I am still having the same problem. I am not sure what is going on please help me.

Be aware that you need to completely wipe your phone when switching between ROMs (does not apply if you are upgrading to a newer version of the same ROM). Flashing over can cause issues like yours.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MowWow:
Hi,

I'm kind of desperate ..

I was using my HTC one, and it crushed and was stucked in the boot screen (the screen where we can read "HTC powered by Android"

Whatever i try, it won't work. I unlocked the phone, installed a special recovery using command line fastboot.

When i try to install a ROM, in the recovery menu i choose "install zip". I can't use "choose zip from sdcard" and "choose zip from last install folder" cause i get a "No files found" message

So i tried the "install zip from sideload". I used adb command line, with ViperOne ROM, and it worked, i obtained the ViperOne install interface, so i clicked next till arriving to the last step and start the install. So guess what ? To perform the install, the phone has to reboot, and it got stucked again in the same boot screen.

I'm really really tired :( please help!

you will need to clear the unable to mount errors first, especially the system one, only way to do that is select wipe - format data button, be warned though, this will wipe the entire phone, but in your condition, its the only way to get it working again, after the format make sure you reboot back into recovery, it will prompt you saying you have no OS installed, just ignore it and reboot back to recovery anyway (required for the changes to take effect), also, NO to root, then put the rom back on your internal storage and flash it again.

hold down the power button, keep holding whilst the captive buttons on the bottom flash about 15 times, dont let go till they stop flashing, this is going to sound crazy but you may have to shine a very bright light into the light sensors on your phone at the same time (2 little dots by the side of the top left speaker).

I use my Mrs camera flash light on her phone to do it.

Glad that helped ya slightly, but there are a few more things you can do!

Do Not use the: Stock Launcher Stock Messenger Stock Keyboard Stock anything Disable double tap to use Svoice then disable Svoice

I know it's a hassle, but it's worth it. Sure we shouldn't have to to make our phones work well, but we do. We can either jump on the S6 ship or deal with it.

Also, go into developer options and cut all the animations in half. Boom, your note 4 is now faster than any other note 4 you will run into. Besides mine, of course :)
