[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sasank360:
You are on the old bootloader with jellybean system. Try to update to latest stock kitkat. If your phone has no warranty now then no need to fear knox.

Also [MENTION=4344511]SilviuMik[/MENTION] please help [MENTION=6334210]flipeicl[/MENTION] . I think there is a way to update to stock kitkat without bootloader. Try that.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flipeicl:
I have installed the 4.2.2 but updated to 4.4.2 via "samsung update", today I tried one more time to clean the custom rom to install a stock firmware, I entered in the CWM, I did a factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache, but Odin don't recognize my phone via USB in donwload mode, so I tried to restart the phone and install the USB driver, so for my surprise, the phone get a CM12 instalation (I don't know how), and now everything is working with modem i9192UBUCOB1, I will do more tests in these days.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] daxgirl:
Hello guys,

Samsung kills me sometimes with their ideas... Like I started doing some mods on settings and all of a sudden by accident I find out the ability to hide/show the brightness slider in the notification panel is gone. On s5 lollipop is still there, on note 4 (5.0.1 oh the kinky one!) is gone.

PEE'D ME OFF!

Let's put it BACK:

Decompile SecSettings.apk

Now you have 2 ways to fix it: either change the key in the preference file and one string in the smali or change like 3 strings in smali. I prefer to change in the preference file since I chacked and there is already a preference created in the sqlite database with the correct name so I just fixed the incorrect (cunning samsung!!!)

Navigate to res/xml/notification_panel_menu.xml

find the following line and change the android:key tag to this: android:key="notification_panel_brightness_adjustment"

Now, navigate to /smali/com/android/settings/NotificationPanelMenu.smali and search for "brightness_adjustment", you will find one instance of exactly THIS KEY. The others are the correct full key. This string we need to change to "notification_panel_brightness_adjustment"

Now we need to remove the favored by samsung feature called "remove-the-damn-preference". Of course this is not how it's actually called... so lets find this in the same smali:

iget-object v5, p0, Lcom/android/settings/NotificationPanelMenu;->mBrightness:Landroid/preference/CheckBoxPreference;

[COLOR="Red"]invoke-virtual {v4, v5}, Landroid/preference/PreferenceScreen;->removePreference(Landroid/preference/Preference;)Z[/COLOR]

and REMOVE the entire line

[COLOR="red"]invoke-virtual {v4, v5}, Landroid/preference/PreferenceScreen;->removePreference(Landroid/preference/Preference;)Z[/COLOR]

Done, recompile and push back into the phone! You can now remove or re-add the brightness slider on your notification panel.

Best of luck!

I would like to try , but I have not got a clue where to find Res.

My English is bad, maybe I do not understand the instructions correctly :confused:
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] daxgirl:
In order to follow this guide, you need to have knowledge in decompiling apk files, mate. Res is the resources folder inside android apk.

this guide is in development section, meaning it assumes you have a working expirience in using apktool.

You can find more information and guides regarding modding and using dev tools in general forums of xda. If you need any help or advice once you set your tools and start making this guide, I would love to assist.

Also keep in mind that you need to have a deodexed SecSettings. Since the guide includes modding smali as well.

All the best!
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Cornmat:
Many Thanks.

No, unfortunately I have no knowledge of it.

[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] daxgirl:
This is a mod guide for devs, mate. As a rule I don't include zips or ready made apps. Look up a guide on decompiling apps and if you have troubles following the guide to make this mod, post a logcat here. Or use a rom that includes this feature.

Cheers!

Somene attempted to do it for me. But the settings fc when trying to enter notification panel. But i havent seen any rom that includes this
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] daxgirl:
Then they did it wrong, mate. They should check their modding steps. In any case check a logcat to debug your issue.

Okay i qill see if i can find a rom and pull the secsettings apk.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] egren58:
[MENTION=4714483]daxgirl[/MENTION] okay i found one and it worked. But is it normal for it to look like this when removed?.. my notification quick settings gets cut off whe no notifications...
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] daxgirl:
It appears perfectly normal here. I think your screw up is with removing the quick connect and sfinder container. I never remove it for myself since I find it very useful. But I know that the method of removing it that's been circulating around xda from some note 3 guides is wrong. It messes with dimension resource. Which is wrong and it screws up the layout.

When I remove it I remove it in smali, using setVisibility method for the entire container. Which is the correct way.

Good luck.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] egren58:
Oh man it was removed from my rom out of the box...
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] daxgirl:
Sorry to hear that, my friend. I believe a user should have a choice weather to keep the sfinder and quick connect. Personally I am using it ALOT. And I don't like system functions being removed for me by Rom chefs.

I can't be 100% sure that this weird image is because of that. But I am quite certain. Since I know the method of removing it is problematic. There have been several reports of it on the guide thread for it.

As a rule you don't remove things by reducing the dimensions to 0.0dp. It's never the correct way.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] egren58:
Thanks. Now do you think sqlite could remove it correctly? . Or if it can do it at all lol
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Near_07:
how about Sfinder and Quick connect

thanks for the guide about on how to remove the brightness slider, i just want to ask on how to manually remove Sfinder and quick connect from SystemUI.apk . thanks hope anyone can guide. .:confused:
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] not-i:
Decompile SystemUI.apk

Go to \res\values\dimens.xml and find

<dimen name="finder_connect_layout_height">57.0dip</dimen>

change 57.0dip to 0.0dip like this -

<dimen name="finder_connect_layout_height">0.0dip</dimen>

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] im_high_tech:
Hello! So I have been doing some testing on my phone, with different Roms, kernel settings and others and trying to see at what rate my M7 charges.

You can use the following app to see and monitor at the rate (mAh) that your phone charges at. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.bmw

I have tried both Sense 6 KitKat and Sense 7 Lollipop (Santod style. The good stuff); and on average with my screen off, I get +525 mAh until 70% battery, and after that its about +375 mAh.

If i have my screen ON and using WiFi/4G and gaming, I actually use battery life while on the charger. I'm talking -200 to -700mAh. The only thing that has helped is lowering my GPU settings to 200 or 320MHz, and even then it only saves about 100mAh on the usage.

Has anyone else here tested their battery depletion/charing? I would love for you guys to test this app on your M7's and share what numbers you're M7 is running. Please add your Rom/Additional settings if you're doing extensive testing.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] starboi4eva:
I considered testing this but never got around to it. I too use Santod's GPE custom rom, not the stock one. My phone is weird as it will only charge properly with this rom. Any other rom and the percentage will deplete will charging. It may be hardware damaged.

So I installed the 801 stock leaked lolipop rom http://xdaforums.com/tmobile-g2/development/stock-rom-lolipop-d801-d80130a-t3059934 that worked fine so I proceeded to attempt to root it and install twrp, the root wouldn't go through but TWRP did.

Once TWRP went through I wasn't able to boot into the system and my download mode sent me to fastboot. So I flash 801 20a laf image as I've done beforehand but that just leaves me with a download mode that only displays the words download mode. http://oi61.tinypic.com/29ghngg.jpg

I still have access to TWRP but all my files were erased so I don't know how to proceed.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gorei23:
So here's the situation. I had root, but decided to unroot. So I made a backup with TWRP and copied to my PC, I then proceeded to flash system, cache, data radio, etc from fastboot with the 5.1 factory image, then I re-flashed TWRP and fastboot oem lock . I rebooted, and got a TWRP bootloop, so I did ./fastboot oem erase cache and userdata, reboot and got the four dots endlessly spinning, so I went into TWRP and tried to wipe and get nothing but /data mount errors, then I did a wipe from TWRP and stuidly wiped /system. I can't flash roms, (I tried adb push, installing fails with more mount errors!) and I tried adb sideload the stock ota and that failed with again /data mount errors.

God help me.

While I was trying to sim unlock the phone, I accidentally changed permissions on the system folder to read-only (using root explorer). The phone will not go past the splash screen since. So I tried a factory reset with no avail. I decided to load a Stock ROM using the Sprint ROM but it wouldn't load; fails at verifying file. I tried different ROMs and none of them will take. I'm unable to get the PC or Mac to recognize the USB mode. The phone is on, but in Windows it says no emulation and Mac doesn't even pop up anything. I did install the ADB and fastboot drivers on both the PC and Mac but they still don't recognize it. I'm showing

T6-WHL XA Ship S-Off

CID- 11111111

Hboot 2.46.0000

on the boot screen.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Update: Installed Cyanogen Mod 12 via SD Card. Went smooth.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
I just received the 5.1 update today. I'm on sprint, if that matters. Immediately after the update, I'm getting bombarded with these force closes, immediately returning after hitting either "ok" or "report". It will continue for 3 or 4 minutes, then clear up for a few minutes, then returning when I open an app.

I'm stock, not rooted. Since I'm not rooted, I'm not sure what I can do other than reboot or factory reset? This is the first phone I haven't rooted since I got into android. I'm feeling like I should just root /wipe/flash, but before I do, any other suggestions to quickly clear up the force closes? Thanks!

You don't need root or any special "app" to see what is going on.

You need a LOGCAT.

And to post it here so that somebody who understands it can interpret it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DebianDog:
I 100% percent agree with you but the reality is you could reload the phone and reset everything before you get a definitive answer.

Sent from my Google N6 on VZ
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doitright:
I don't agree. At least not entirely. There are enough people here to interpret a logcat, it could be done in seconds.

But it does come down to how significant of a setup you're dealing with, and how well equipped you are to understand and manage a problem.

My wife's hammerhead did something weird not long ago, google applications continuous force close. A quick examination of the logcat yielded a "can not downgrade database from version 3 to 2" problem on the gms package. Kind of weird, since it just happened out of the blue, she's running factory + root on the thing. So I wiped the database, rebooted, and its back to normal. Took 2 minutes. A wipe and reload and reconfigure would have taken hours.

For my own devices, last time I did a "wipe" was in... 2012. I did a full backup and restore from my last phone to my N6, wiped/adjusted/reset whatever databases and configurations didn't match between the Samsung Relay custom 5.0 build (I did userdata "upgrade" the whole way up from 4.0 on that device, without wiping even ONCE) and the N6. Saved tons of time.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DebianDog:
In the time it took you to respond to this message I could have backed up my whole phone on titanium backup. Wiped it. flashed it. Reroot it and restored all my settings and applications. That's my point.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doitright:
Except that in restoring your backup, you have also restored whatever the problem was, and are now back to square one.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DebianDog:
Maybe or maybe not you mean. Caches inconsistent with the current version how Android are usually the cause of this or caches that got corrupted in some manner . And as you know you never restore caches.

My 5 years experience with Android dictates that these problems are usually EASILY resolved with a wipe of the cache/phone. perhaps your personal evidence is different.

Yes I personally would fire up system info and look at the logs before I wiped my caches and if that didn't work I would wipe the phone.
