[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Greenmonster14:
Hi all,

I figured this was the place to come to ask my question. I have a stock Verizon G2 which I just system restored to best utilize Lollipop 5.0.2. After I was done restoring the phone I used the Verizon Cloud service to restore all of my pictures, videos, etc. Upon completion I noticed that all of my pictures were put into one folder entitled "Downloads" and the problem is that they were all put in there with absolutely no sorting order at all. I am not able to sort them by date because the "date" is the date all of the pics were restored to my phone, which was yesterday. I started to look at the details of each picture and sure enough, the actual date I took each picture is there. Is there either an app or another way to resort my pictures into the date they were originally taken order? I really appreciate anyone who takes the time to answer my question.

BTW...the same goes for my restored text messages. These were restored not in date order.....I would like to get them back into the order it was originally, with the newest texts being on the top.

Thanks!

im not responsible for anything you do to your phone.

you need flash fire installed on your phone to make this work

i have made GoldenEye v52 5.0.1 run on our phones here is the guide for now im crunched on time so i will just give you the guide to go from 5.0.1 stock to 5.0.1 GoldenEye

the masterpatch i made has issues with the camera. i belive the other master patch does also but i will link it here anyways

go to the golden eye page and download the rom

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2313469

download the updaterscript attatchment from this post and the masterpatchlolipopbeta ( or try the other one here http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-active/general/how-to-update-to-i537oc6-5-0-1-t3089355/post60376229 )

OPEN do not extract the GE zip file (using winrar or 7zip)

navigate to META-INF\com\google\android

delete everything in that directory

copy one of the updaterscripts and updaterbinarys from the attatched files into that directory

now close that file.

copy the goldeneye zip and the masterpatch you choose to use to your phone

open flashfire

set up a wipe (select all but internal storage)

select goldeneye zip

select masterpatch zip

make sure flashfire puts them in that order.

flash it.

the rom takes forever to start up the first time. if it is over 20 mins shut the phone off and turn it back on then it should boot up a little faster.

the superuser in this rom is weird. you need to go to settings in SU and and set it to always grant it is a problem with this rom not from me

thanks to the developers of goldeneye and thanks to thisisapoorusernamechoice for the base to make my masterpatch.

like i ssaid the only thing i can confirm nonworking is the camera. but once a better masterpatch comes out it will be fixed

dont forget to hit thanks if this post has helped you in anyway please.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
Oh I keep forgetting to ask, have you tested this with a non-stock camera (e.g. google camera), both with and without the patch? Sorry in advance if you already tried that. I want to try out this rom, I've just been busy trying to do other garbage with my phone I unfortunately have not gotten the chance yet
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mateo121212:
nahh not yet. i went back to stock but i may flash it again tonight. then i will test with another camera. but i did try with the stock camera and it didnt work.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mikep2323:
If I flash this and don't like it can I just flash the stock rooted lollipop? The camera thing is the only thing holding me back because I do use that. I have no problem trying a different camera to see if it works but if it doesn't I want to be able to go right back to the stock rooted rom. Thanks for the info also.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] firestorm942:
Is this the i537?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mateo121212:
yes downlaod the flashable zip and wipe everything and flash it the boom back to stock

yes this is for the i537
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mikep2323:
Thanks Im going to try some time today. I'll also try other camera's and let you know if they work.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mikep2323:
I tried Google camera and it doesn't work either. Do you think you will be making a patch for it? It says can't connect to camera when you open it. Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mateo121212:
im trying to make a patch for it. but i cant promise anything right now
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mikep2323:
Thanks , I also tried camera 360 and it said I need to turn on device access. I'm assuming that's where the problem is. Let me know if you need me to test anything. I'll keep golden eye on for a few days if you do.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mateo121212:
nahh no need of someone to test right now.....but i may need testers soon for a rom project im going to attempt. going to try to deodex the stock rom then kang a few good features out of golden eye and a few other stock based roms maby some s6 features. but thats a vague in the future type thing. ill keep people updated.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mateo121212:
quick note.. got the kushan 4.0 rom working but no camera still. this rom looks like the s6. dont try to flash it as it is. you will end up breaking things if people are interested ill post my modified updaterscripts for it
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mikep2323:
I've been reading to try to deodex lollipop. I've found a few batch tools but haven't gotten them to work. Can't you take the app, private app, and framework folders out of golden eye and put into stock rom? Thats what I was going to try. There's a batch tool called Joel Droid for deodex lollipop roms. I just put onto my computer but didn't try yet. Keep me posted if you deodex the stock rom. I want to try to theme some things.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mateo121212:
i dont know. it might give a signing issue but its worth a try. i was reading samsung files had issues in some of the batch ones. maby we can ask the guy who did golden eye how he did it?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mateo121212:
just started a batch file with joel droid so far so good. i think its possible to do this :) so aslong as it works im gonna start with debloating it. then im going to grab mods and build the rom so its not so stock. and it will be a custom rom specifically made for our phone..lol
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mikep2323:
Sounds good, keep me posted. Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mateo121212:
just finished it. it only didnt work on a few files (like 4 total? also android.policy.jar dosent convert right but it dosent ***** about it?). i took the ones out of golden eye and put em in instead. installing my testrom now.....im at the long ass waiting period. will update on what happens... aka if it works all correct like.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mikep2323:
Sounds good I'll be up for a while so let me know if you need me to test anything.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mateo121212:
first try unsucessful. apparently some files in framework folder were never deodexed eventhough it said they were. im going through and swapping them with ones from goldeneye to see if i can get it to work

. if that dosent work i will try to deodex those files manually tomorow. i have wicked slow upload speeds so i would have to wait till monday to go to the library to upload it if i get it working. thats the downside of not having my own internet and using a neighbors..lol
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mikep2323:
Ok just keep me posted, thanks. What rom did you put into joel droid to deodex it? I can maybe try myself also.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mateo121212:
i dont have the final zip (did the final zip have a system folder in it because if it does i will download that and start over)(download takes 2 hrs thats why i havent gotten the updated files). i have the 2 part install file for stock. then i did a backup. then i extracted the system image and used it to deodex
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] tutiwinner:
I have installed Golden Eye works great.

The camera: non of the camera apk work + one more issue Skype after one ring just goes back to its home page, cant complete a call:(
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mikep2323:
I sent you a pm
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mateo121212:
figured out deodexing. will release a deodexed version of stock and a deodexed lite stock version on monday. also am working on a 5.0.1 custom rom for the S4 Active ATT. the release date on that is TBA. with the system deodexed people should start making mods :)

EDIT: i have also made a few flashable zip mods. a center clock mod and a 5 way reboot mod. they require the deodexed rom though. i will release it all on monday when i can get to a descent internet connection.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mikep2323:
looking foward to center clock mod and 5 way reboot.Im also looking foward to also be able to start themeing stuff. To much white for me.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mateo121212:
had issues with the computer at the library will upload tomorow sorry guys.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
Damn dude that's dedication no worries :good:

What is it the router? Gotta wait for the slow as heck company to eventually come and fix it? the main tard in my area "brighthouse" absolutely loves to take their time.

& the rom you posted isn't the slim one yet no?

Edit: saw the lite mod rofl durr durr
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mateo121212:
there is a zip in the attatchments that if you flash it with the rom it *should* make it slim. my internet at home is fairpoint (dsl) that is a neighbors that im useing with their permission. so the internet there is extremely slow for uploading cuz im on wifi acrossed the street from the router. my laptop was giving me issues at the library yesterday. im useing the librarys computer now. thats how i uploaded them a few mins ago

(im poor as hell actually...lol i got this phone at a discount cuz the screen/touchscreen is dieing and the battery barely holds a charge, so i cant even afford to get my own internet connection)

I feel ya man our houses only real Web is the neighbors, but I just toss my Hotspot on rofl we racked 300gb of data and no cut off ahahahah

has anyone had any luck on making a new master patch i have tried alot of differnet methods and still have not found a working camera patch. im still trying to figure it out
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] izeeqo:
is it working for GT I9295?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
I tried making a new masterpatch from scratch, maybe there'll be some improvement, maybe not. If anyone feels like testing it, it's attached
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] tutiwinner:
Thanks for your effort unfortunately camera doesn't work with that patch either
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
Thanks for letting me know, sorry it still didn't work
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] JASONRR:
Include the samsungcamera2 app from active in the masterpatch and check. I have got it working for the international one and will create a new thread and upload the masterpatch there.

Edit:

New thread created for I9295
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] tutiwinner:
l've tried didn't work ,also skype doesn't work ,maybe because it wanna use camera,

youtube videos stops, only sounds, after few sec,

so unfortunately struggling a few days with it now back to stock
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mateo121212:
check out the zip i posted in the attatchments. i used JASONRR's patch for the international active as a guide. i just made a flashable zip containing all the same files coming from 0C6 instead. i dont have time to test it out but could someone try it out for me?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] JASONRR:
You may want to include the kernel along with modules from /system/lib/modules for working wifi
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mateo121212:
i was assuming people were starting with oc6 installed. i will update it with the modules

edit: master patch beta 2. in the attatchments.

start with oc6 base and remove kernel from rom you are trying to flash while you are removing the aroma crap also. Flashfire dosnt play well with aroma.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] JASONRR:
Yes but then the new ROM would include these and overwrite them. Include the kernel (boot.img) as well and you may specifically mention to flash over oc6 firmware (especially modems)

Edit: your edit happened at the same time of my post, so you may ignore
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mateo121212:
i belive you didnt see my edit.. i already mentioned that. :) since i have started this post i have been working on a patch without great luck on the camera portion. i hope this one fixes that. thank you for the base to run with!
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] JASONRR:
Some of the S4 ROM's include ported camera from S5 & S6. I will include a script in V2 to edit some build.prop entries to rename device name as well as delete SamsungCamera3/4. For now these can be manually deleted to use stock SamsungCamera2
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mateo121212:
well for some reason my patch didnt work. ill keep trying.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] JASONRR:
What was the error you got and did you get a logcat?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mateo121212:
same error i got camera not connected. i havnot logcatted it yet.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] JASONRR:
Which ROM did you test and did you check in /system/app if there exists SamsungCamera3 or SamsungCamera4 and delete it, if it exists
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mateo121212:
golden eye 53. no camera 3 or 4

[MENTION=6568249]mateo121212[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5954417]thisisapoorusernamechoice[/MENTION] I was wondering if there has been any progress on the masterpatch. I just pulled my s4 Active out of the closest, thanks to a 4 foot fall for my Note 3. The i537 is rooted and updated to Lollipop, but I can't stand stock. Would love to be able to play with some custom roms.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mateo121212:
only camera is not working. i have tried other ways but still havent figured it out. im useing my phone without a camera on goldeneye. im dealin with some presonal crap recently so i havent had much time to work on any of my projects. sorry i will post when i have an update to this subject
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] packydavis:
s6 Rom on i537?

I love TouchWiz right now I'm on deodexed 0C7 running Xposed on my i537 but I'd like to be using a S6 rom. Can I get directed on how to get either Albes rom or Kushan working on my phone?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mateo121212:
only if you dont care about the camera.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] trouty:
All ears here lol
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] packydavis:
Right the camera is not a biggie.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mateo121212:
Hey guys is been forever since I've been able to get back on the S4 active forum. I'm back to using this as my daily driver (parts are cheep enough to repair) so I'm back to trying to develop for this phone. To run s6 rom you need to remove the aroma installer and manually edit it to make it a normal installer script and remove any modem or kernels that flash with it also when editing make sure you check that it install to the right path. Then use either of the master patches. I haven't tried it with a recent build so ymmv (remember as of now no camera). I'm looking into using our rom as a base to port other TouchWiz based roms to our phone. Hopefully I can pick the minds of other developers that have ported between varient of the S4 for more info. My only pc at the moment is a price of crap I built out of dumpster finds so the development I'm dong will last as long as my computer does. Check out the attachments to see what I mean.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] JASONRR:
Welcome back.

Maybe you could look at just a masterpatch with the kernel and modems that could get any 9505 or 9295 TW based ROM for your device and yes aroma does work with flashfire as long as you keep the screen on and don't allow it to go to sleep.

I had made a port of my Super WizCyan ROM some time back but did not get the time to update it (since have been only releasing updates for 9505 with a masterpatch for 9295 in the download section of that thread). The installation instructions for 545 of the port that i had made are in post #91 in the below thread

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mateo121212:
Double post. Sorry
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mateo121212:
Thank you. I will look into it.what method did you use to port? On a side note I have news for everyone. I am running the s7 Thor rom on my i537. I took the i9295 Port and modified it. It still needs some improvement and proper permission from developers before I can release it. As of now it has a partially working camera and the settings don't work. I will keep you updated and maybe soon this will be released for our phone.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mateo121212:
with help from jasonrr i have compleated a test build of a working master patch on oc6. i need to update it to oc7 first then i will put up for everyone to try. alot of the s4 roms that are able to use need manual editing to remove flashing kernel. going to test if i can just put oc7 kernel in master patch to avoid having to edit the install zips. will keep updated
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] JASONRR:
I have a masterpatch for I9295 attached to the ROM thread in the download section (can be viewed through browser only) and all you would need to do is change the kernel & modules with yours (needs matching modems to get wifi working) and it should work.

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mateo121212:
thank you. i thought there might be a different way of doing it than just changing the files that the patch effects. thank you for your help and for pointing me in the right direction. i made mine before i saw yours so i might go back and rebuild yours with my files to make a better patch. thank you

Greetings Gurus,

I've searched, so if I've missed the solution to this then please be gentle! I have my Artemis (MDA Compact 3 with CoPilot) all working with my apps, and ported across today onto T-Mobile.

My problem is that the internal Storage Memory is being eaten up quite quickly, although all my apps are installed on to the 2 gb card.

Is there a way to store my yahoo email and/or sms text messages directly onto my card, not internal memory?

Can anyone advise of anything else that I could do to preserve some internal storage memory please?

TIA
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] peavey:
Hi all,

Having same problem... Any answers here??

Thanx in advance.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] peavey:
Hi all,

Managed to get the emails to save to Storage Card

The Key in WM6 is:

HKLM\System\Inbox\Settings

add "PropertyPath" value="\Storage Card\Mail" datatype="string"

Due to Email application starting before initializing the storage card, there will be a new folder created "Storage Card", and the actual storage card will be "Storage Card2"

To get around this issue, remove the "Messages" from Today screen.

You can add it back after reboot.

Crack Onnn....

Does this also work for SMS messages?

Does anyone ever have the issue of the compass always pointing in the wrong direction?

I've done manual sensor calibration by going into the service menu (*#0*#, Sensor) quite a few times but the compass always resets.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DevonSloan:
Probably would have been best to not start a new thread for this since you already commented in another one.

My compass is still fine and working properly from my one calibration from the other thread. Are you getting the blue compass line with a "3" next to it?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] levitron:
I had the "3" and blue line. It was pointing to the true North after calibration. Then it lost the calibration. I've since recalibrated it.

I'm keeping an eye out on this. Will monitor it.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] levitron:
So after a few weeks of testing, I've concluded that the compass resets every time I reboot my phone. This happens consistently without fail.

The fix for me is to do a calibration every time I reboot the phone - this means "twirling" my phone in a circular motion (it's faster than doing the separate axis calibration). Usually this will recalibrate my phone in under 10 "twirls".

I guess it's something to do with the compass not being able to store the calibration permanently. Perhaps it's a R/W permissions issue. I'm on stock Three UK firmware, not rooted.

I'm still on 4.4.2 and wondering if I should update.

Are you guys happy with the update?

When it first came out, I remember reading people complaining about lagging when starting apps.

Have you guys experienced those issues? Any other issues?

Do you guys think it's worth it?

Sorry if this has been discussed. I have tried to find a post talking about the impressions of the update but I couldn't

find something specific.

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cmerlyn:
Mostly pretty good. I'm not fond of all the white backgrounds, but as long as I have root and can use TiBu and a few other apps, I am happy. Nice to have RAW format cameras available.

Beyond that, I couldn't really recommend the upgrade at this time, too many people having problems with it, if you do the upgrade OTA you lose root, etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Capa1970:
For me Lollipop is so much better than 4.4.4, which introduced home button issues. I find the phone to be so much smoother and slightly faster. Battery life is also better---I am back to getting about 6 hours of screen on time in a 24 hour period. I am 100% stock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] BigBrad75:
I agree, in my opinion lollipop is every bit as good as the hype behind it would indicate. I updated mine today and am definitely not disappointed! Lovin it!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Nucleartx:
I have to admit that this is the best release that At$t and Samsung have done for a phone. Pretty much got everything right minus the bloatware.
