Hey guys,

So last night I accidentally wiped internal storage in TWRP. I guess that messed up my partitions or something, I don't know. Anyway, I can still access recovery, and I've tried to do a restore (one that I made back when I was on stock 4.4.2 I think) but after that it tries to boot, gets to "Android is upgrading... Optimizing app Y of X." and once that operation completes it shows the lockscreen for about a tenth of a second, and the phone reboots.

I'm stumped. Anyone know what can I do?

Sorry if this has been asked a hundred times. For some reason the search function in the forums isn't working for me. And I've been looking for a solution all morning.

EDIT: FYI when I tried the restore I did only System and Data and not Boot, because I was afraid that'd cause more problems.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Did you try restoring and performing a factory wipe before booting the newly-restored ROM?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] yiazmaty:
It seems that Marshmallow based roms aren't working, but Lollipop ones will boot. Not sure why as I didn't have any problem with the same MM roms in the past.

More info:

MM roms wont flash in TWRP; after the failed attempt, TWRP says system cannot be mounted until I either wipe or install a 12.1 rom.

Tried to install a stock rom (4.4.2) and it failed in TWRP. Just says "Error Flashing"
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Are you performing a full wipe (system, Dalvik, cache, data) before installing or restoring a ROM? Is the phone running the latest version of TWRP?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] yiazmaty:
Yes to full wipe. TWRP is 2.8.7.0, so yeah I think it's the newest? Not 100% sure.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Wiping internal storage should not affect the partitions. I'm not sure that TWRP even has the ability to change partitions.

Yes, 2.8.7.0 is the latester version of TWRP.

If you are on the nj2 bootloader, try flashing this in TWRP: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3-att/general/rooted-ucufnj1-stock-rom-t2985006
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] yiazmaty:
Welp, seems to be all good now. Not sure if I really did anything to fix it or not. I tried to install a stock ROM but it wouldn't boot (stuck on Samsung logo) but after that my CM13 ROM installed properly again. The one CM13 ROM I have still wont install at all - maybe that file became corrupt or something? Not sure if that's even possible.

Either way I'm all fixed up. Thanks for all your help. :)

Cheers

Hi I inserted a 64gb Fat32 SD card into rooted AFTV2 , however in Es Explorer it only shows 179 mb. In my Pc it show 63gb,

Does anyone have any ideas why?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rp201:
you might have 2 partitions on the sdcard. use sdformatter for windows to reformat card as fat32.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikey6283:
I have formated the card to FAT32. , however, Amazon as usually say that some SD are not compatible only the ones that Scandisk manufacturer for Amazon. They suggested that I reset my AFTV which i did but no success so they offered me a £10 discount on one of their SD cards , let see if that works.
[LG G Watch] londonbigbenholmes:
Is there any way to equip the LG G Watch with WiFi, like the Samsung Gear Live. I have read that the G Watch lacks WiFi because it does not have a WiFi antenna. Can a WiFi antenna be added to the watch? Or, what about connecting the G Watch to a WiFi chip via Bluetooth? Would any of these work? Thanks!
[LG G Watch] Jaocagomez:
i dont think so, wifi has to be built in on the rom, a simple bluetooth wifi wont work, but modifying hardware may work but its more difficult.
[LG G Watch] londonbigbenholmes:
[MENTION=2920544]Jaocagomez[/MENTION] Thanks for your help. How would I add WiFi into the rom programmatically? Also, what would the hardware modifications be like? Also, couldn't I create an app/client that uses a WiFi chip attached by bluetooth to update notifications? Thanks!
[LG G Watch] ShadowEO:
You would need to add the drivers built specifically for the Android kernel. The ROM would need to be built with WiFi support enabled in Android (which currently I believe is impossible as you cannot procure the source code to Android Wear atm). A Bluetooth WiFi adapter would not work because Android wouldn't know how to deal with it at all, The reason that the GWR was able to enable WiFi was because support was already built into Android as it was part of their hardware base. It was simply missing the drivers for the kernel.
[LG G Watch] kokesh:
Also the Wear app on the phone wouldn't allow the watch to use WiFi, as the model doesn't have it as a standard.
[LG G Watch] ShadowEO:
It probably would actually, I've been given the option to use Cloud Sync my gWatch connected.
[LG G Watch] kokesh:
I saw it there also, but someone said it just broke the connection with the watch and required to do a Factory reset. Read it sometime last year, when WiFi for Wear rolled out.
[LG G Watch] KevinX8:
The watch contains no WiFi radio so obviously it cannot use wifi. The only wireless technology it uses is Bluetooth 4.1 LE.

Anybody having a problem with s-pen? I'm on Beans' rooted 4.4.2 from stock 4.3 and my s-pen won't work on screen. The phone detects the pen as I can hear the notification when pulling the pen out and reinserting it. Also, if the Air Command setting is turned on, the widget will appear when pulling the pen out. It just seems like the screen doesn't detect the pen. I've even tried numerous pen tips. The same pen does work fine on my note 4. Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b1gt78:
try a different s-pen. the little "battery" in it might have died. the sound comes from a switch inside the note that moves when you slide the pen in/out
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donc113:
The S-Pen doesn't have a battery...besides which....he said the pen worked on a Note 4.

The S-Pen gets its power from coils behind the screen. If those go bad..the pen doesn't work.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] crp62:
I'm reading the current (Feb. 2016) issue of Consumer Reports and there's an article on "Best Cell Phones". In the article, the magazine rates 40 phones on 12 categories ("Ease of Use", "Networking", "Web Browsing", etc.) and the Note 4 ranked #11 - one ahead of the Note 5.

The Galaxy S5 was #1, S6 #7, and S6 Edge was #8.

The iPhone 6S and 6 were #5 & 6.

I was surprised to see the Note 4 still up there - almost Top 10, even in 2016.

crp
[Galaxy Note 4 General] zakkkkk:
If s5 is number 1, then note 4 should be in the top 5 at least
[Galaxy Note 4 General] thedarkmunk:
It's a bit odd that the S5 is #1 considering it was released in April 2014. That being said, I'm also surprised that the iPhone's aren't higher considering how well they do in sales.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Tombias:
The magazine probably only took smartphones in their test. ?

You might not find BlackBerry keyboard app on playstore... if you find one, then it would say it isnt compatible... What you should do is download an app called BlackBerry Manager by just searching on google and install it and the just click on Install next to blackBerry keyboard..

I flash my K1 android 4,2,2 from his post and it working very good , but my home/selection button is broken and i can't flash gapps from the recovery (cwm).

i try with flashify , flash gordon , zip installer and flash fire from the OS and it dosen't work or brick it. After that i try with desktop flasher and it seems working but when the job is done it say that the recovery will finish but nothing happen , the gapps are push but nothing is installed/flash.

Hello.

I am using Asus Zenfone Go zc500tg . Although the internal memory of the phone is 8gb , I can only use 4gb of it. The other 4gb is being used by the system .This is very annoying . Is there anyway I can partition the internal sd card and use the full 8 gb as my internal memory?

Thank you.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] SharpnShiny:
Hi,

I think the title says it all.

I really don't want to get into why/why not do this. I'd like to use a least-Google ROM on the M4.

How much of Google's services is in a stock Cyanogenmod ROM? Do they all have the optional add-on to flash Google services or they're in-built from the start?

I'm interested in trying the unofficial Marshmallow ROM here. Or even more so I'd love MIUI on M4, but we don't have it, even unofficially.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] husam666:
Thanks for the information, I'll build a rocket-ship out of it.

In all seriousness though, I think you do realise that there aren't enough developers for the M4 Aqua, and it looks like the ones who are here don't have enough time to build a MIUI or a stable AOSP ROM. I don't know what you're trying to say here, but if you're looking for the ROM with the least bloat a quick search can help you find the relevant information.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] SharpnShiny:
Thanks for the information, I'll build a space rocket with it.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] husam666:
Nah go build a ROM instead, you'll be doing the community a favour instead of posting useless threads
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] SharpnShiny:
I've seen people post threads about this topic for practically every smartphone I've owned. Apparently it's a common question.

There's nothing more to learn here so I won't check back.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] ExtaSpace:
Cyanogenmod ROMs in stock don't have any apps from Google. They're Google-free. But, there are unofficial gapps packages (flashable Google apps), to get Google apps back. Unforunetly, there isn't a single stable CM for our device.

How to set your own theme color

here´s how to apply your own custom theme color for blackVenoM9.

*** Global Theme Colors ***

1) Download the blackVenoM8_patcher_xxx.zip from post #1

2) open it and navigate to folder /vrtheme/

3) drag the file colors.txt to your desktop & leave the zip opened

4) open it with a propper text editor (must be able to handle UNIX txt format)

- DONT use windows notepad! it will mess up the whole thing!

5) change only the colors in the standard AARRGGBB format leaving everything else untouched

- note... the AA stands for Alpha value. so 00 will be 100% transparent, ff 0% transparent

6) save, exit and drag colors.xml back to the zip into the /vrtheme/ folder

*** Custom HTC Theme ***

If you want to have a custom HTC Theme follow these steps...

1) drag the file add2default.xml from /vrtheme/ folder to your desktop & leave the zip opened

2) replace all findings of eb001a in the line with your color in RRGGBB format

the first four 000000 are the header color for the four categories.

*** Graphic resources ***

Note that some colors in the ROM are pulled from image resources.

If you want to improve your custom theme, edit all graphic ressources needed in /drawables/ subfolders

and in common_resources folder.

I placed inverted resources with stock icons there as a base...

i recommend using imBatch to change hue in all subfolders at once ;)

only be careful with all .9.png files (only few) the should be decompiled before editing

but as long as they are only doing a plain color it doesnt really matter...

*** Extended theming ***

with the extended theming option you´ll be able to set color values and settings in VenomTweaks.

the values are stored in extended/theme.prop

again, use a text editor as described above to edit theme.prop

--> color values must be encoded in XML format - a great little tool for the conversion can be found --> here

--> tweaks can be enabled by setting it to 1 and disabled by setting it to 0

--> unwanted changes can be deleted or commented-out by placing a # at the beginning fo the unwanted line

Last steps are to copy the modified zip to your device and flash it in recovery

Done :)

so here we go....

blackVenoM8 5.0.0 is now available in OP

if the settings in aroma are not enough for you, play around with the blackVenoM-patcher

you can basically set lots of colors in a text file which then will apply to the whole theme ;)

[One (M8) Themes and Apps] fichl:
no, after you flash the theme pretty much all settings and htc apps are inverted...

maybe that works with installed htc themes but actually i never tried.

Yes, it did work with the HTC 'Tilt' (black) theme but the dialer is no longer a selectible option. I recall taking the entire theme and then being able to select 'default' for items I did not want black.
