[Q] looking for s5 apps - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

ive done some searching, i am on the stock 4.4.2 I545VRUFNC2_4_17_14.zip Full Stock rom, i am mdk, i was on hyperdrive 17.1 but i had alot of problems out of it, i kept having to reflash cause i would get alot of random reboots, expecially when listening to music over my bluetooth, and my phone app would keep crashing, the only way i could make calls is if the number was in my contacts, and that didnt work all the time, so i got frustrated and went to this stock rom, i was looking around and found some in the international thread, but i messed something up with one of those and had to reflash the rom, i was getting force closes i cant remember what for, anyway, i would like to get the s5 messaging, phone and contacts, accuweather widget, email, and calender and i liked how in the pull down bar you could read the message, but i dont know if that is in with any of those apps i mentioned, so whatever that is, any help would be appreciated,
or if anyone would know why hyperdrive was doing that and could help me fix that problem that would be great, i liked how the s5 apps worked, i got used to them.
thanks.

[Q] X2 freezing of apps/text problem

Ok guys I finally got around to rooting and freezing some apps last night on my X2. However, now I'm having texting problems. They seem to go out fine but they rarely come in. Also, I sometimes get a FC error saying the application Text Messaging ( process com.motorola.conversations has stopped unexpectedly.
Also, when texts do come in about 75% of the time I get two of the same text. This may be a chompsms thing since it was doing this before I rooted.
The list I used can found by googling "X2 freeze app list" and it's on androidcentral. (i can't post links, sorry)
Can you guys help sort this out? Thanks!
I've looked at the list and its sound. None of those apps should have caused the issue you are experiencing. You mentioned a 3rd party messaging app? Do you still have the stock messaging app?

Yes I sure do. I haven't removed anything, I've only frozen apps. I went halfway through the list and just froze a few at a time but stillgot the random FC's. I'm not sure what to do now..
I would unfreeze everything and see if you still get fcs. If you do it might be your third party app. If not then freeze just Verizon apps and freeze the rest one at a time, that way you can discover the problem by process of elimination. I personally think the third party app is causing the problem but hey I could be wrong.

If I don't freeze anything then I don't get any fc's or problems to speak of. But that kind of defeats the purpose of buying Titanium Pro and the phone is much quicker when I had a bunch of the bloat frozen. I'll spend some more time freezing apps slowly but the problem is that the fc's don't happen happen every time even with the same list of frozen apps so that makes narrowing it down very difficult. If you have any great ideas in the meantime let me know, thanks!
Sure thing I will keep it in mind

My frozen list without FCs in any stock apps:
Amazon MP3
Amazon Kindle
All other preloaded apps (NFS Shift, Let's Golf, etc.)
android-syncservice-app (related to Backup Assistant)
BackupAssistanceClient.apk
blur_flickr.apk
blur_lastfm.apk
blur_linkedin.apk
blur_myspace.apk
blur_orkut.apk
blur_photobucket.apk
blur_skyrock.apk
blur_twitter.apk
BookmarksWidget.apk
BooksPhone.apk (Google Books)
BuaContactAdapter.apk (Backup Assistant Contact page)
Cardock2.apk (do not freeze if you use a car dock)
DeviceStatistics.apk (polls various systems and stores statistical data)
Dock.apk*
DockService.apk*
* These apps are also required for HDMI mirroring; keep ro.hdmi.mirror.enable=false in the build.prop as it is enabled via hotplugging
HelpCenter.apk
IMPresence.apk
MessagesWidget.apk
MyVerizon.apk
PerformanceManager.apk (this will cause persistent FCs until battery pull; on restart, the system will remove data related to this app)
Preloaded.apk (preloaded contacts)
Protips.apk
QuickContactWidget.apk
Quickoffice.apk
QuickSMS.apk
RichLocation.apk
Skype_mobile_live.apk (use Market version instead)
Slackerradio.apk
SpellingCheckService.apk (I'm a good speller and hate this crap)
SuggestionsProvider.apk
SuggestionsRuleCheckerCore.apk
SuggestionsServiceScheduler.apk
-- Freezing these will alleviate a lot of the lag experienced with the stock ROM; adding build.prop optimizations will complement this
ToggleWidgets.apk
Vcast.apk
VcastMusic.apk
VcastVideo.apk
vnav_DROIDX2... (VZ Navigator)
Vsuiteapp.apk
VVM.apk
VZWIM.apk
VZWInstaller.apk
WeatherWidget.apk
You can freeze the datacollection APKs, but just know that you won't have any battery statistics and some data push features won't work either. If you freeze datacollection without freezing the 3 Suggestions APKs, you'll get a force close on the RuleChecker at startup.
I kept the social stuff mainly because the stock ROM doesn't integrate the Facebook app like stock Android, so in order to have your Facebook contacts sync'd with your phone contacts, you need the blur_facebook.apk authenticator, and to keep the status updates intact when receiving a phone call from a contact with Facebook data, you need some of the social apps (mainly friendfeed.apk). I disable the social messaging notifications from the Messaging app in the launcher, as the official Facebook app provides notifications, and I don't need two.
If you don't care about that stuff, just remember that the stock ROM expects many of the authenticators to be there, mainly Facebook since stock Android also links with Facebook. You may get force closes when trying to open or edit a contact, or when text messaging contacts.
Here are the APKs that will cause FCs in the contacts area (opening or editing a contact):
blur_activesync.apk
blur_email.apk
blur_facebook.apk
blur_yahoo.apk
I kept blur_picasa and blur_youtube as I wanted these sync'd in my gallery.
blur_xxx are authenticators (used in the Accounts page)
Blurxxx are actual programs
Sorry about the length, but some things need to be explained so everyone can understand these things.
Thanks for the very long and detailed post Jason. I'm also trying to get my extended battery calibrated but the Battery Calibrator app doesn't seem to be working.
I will definitely get to work on that app list but with just those few that I had listed I wasn't able to get into my contacts without a fc. I don't see how everyone else is doing all these things so easily but I'm struggling. Is it possible to have a bad root or something?
I didn't read all of Jason's post, so forgive me if I repeat something, but I use Chomp and have run into something like this, but only if I freeze the default messaging application. If I freeze it, I can send text from Chomp, but not receive them. Unfrozen, I can send and receive fine. As much as I'd enjoy freezing the default app, I've just disabled the notifications from it and hidden it from view. I know I was able to freeze it without issue when I first got the phone (back on FroYo), but, since updating to GB, it causes issues.
I've seen problems when my mother sends me a text where it doubles the text, we are both in VZW and the text itself is doubled on her end, so could it be VZW?

Forgive me if mentioned or answered I didn't read...just saw this while at work
did u happen to freeze email engine or authentication?
That will mess up texts
I can't remember now for sure but I think I froze Corporate Sync Authenticator. Would that affect texts? I need to get some more time to play around with this but it's so darn frustrating, I thought this would be pretty straight forward. I also still can't get my extended battery calibrated. I get the blinking red-light after about four hours off the charger

Our phone will NEVER read an extended battery correctly
no matter how many times u "calibrate" it.
You gonna want to use a battery widget and keep an eye on the voltage left.
I believe around 3700 is pretty much dead and u should recharge.
Corporate email may have had something to do with that text issue.
It sounds more likely that it is the third.party message app giving u issues.
I know when I used go sms and I froze stock message app I entered the APN and SMSC #'s or something like that manually ((I forget exactly what I entered...but I had found what needed to be entered by digging around in root explorer somewhere)) for it to pull messages and send correctly....
good luck...
If I have time later ill browse around and see if I can locate what I did before...

Yeah I have had mine go lower than 3700
I meant that when it starts to go under 3700 it seems to drop faster also
so its a good idea to charge up when u get under 3700 since its a BAD idea to let a Li-on battery drain completely....they work better and last longer if u start charging when it gets to around 15%...
Thanks for clarification motcher
Thanks for the input guys. Unfortunately I just can't seem to freeze anything without getting force closes. So I guess my root was all for not :/ boo.
Is there a specific battery widget that you would recommend? Or will any do?
When i first got my X2 I had a problem with sending double texts and not being able to open a thread once it had 100+ mesages in it. I would have to delete the thread for it to be corrected. I rooted the phone and tried freezing and unfreezing a bunch of apps and it still gave me problems. Both when i was stock with very few apps and rooted. But when i flashed minimal x it seemed to quit. Ive been running Eclipse and now CM7 and havent had anymore issues. Btw the problem with the text wasnt just one phone. This is my second X2 and both had it till I put a rom on it. Im sure there was something simple I missed but I still dont know what.

I might have to give CM7 a try. This is just complete BS. I rooted in order to freeze and apps and calibrate my battery, neither of which I can do. So now I have a stock phone with a pointless root :/

not pointless
just gotta figure out which apps are interdependent
as with most phonesI believe

eclipse!!! best part of being rooted.....and it's about to become even BETTER
(a little Birdie told me hahaha)
there is just enough to keep us rooted x2 users busy...
take a stroll thru booked's sticky in development section to see what's available
Yeah I saw a lot of people raving about Eclipse. I was going to install that but for some reason while I was reading up on how do it I got scared off. Convince me it's easy
How long until the new rom comes out? Is it ICS?

[Q] Replace contacts/dialer 'apps'?

Hey guys,
i rooted my phone some days ago, threw everything that's Samsung out of it (Gallery, Calendar, Tasks, the hubs etc.) and replaced it with stock ICS stuff. However, I haven't found a way to replace the samsung dialer or the contacts app with their resective AOSP equivalents. Is there a way to do that?

yes its there to replace, but from my past it will often give you problems over time. so its better to use some alternative dialers or simply you can try some custom aokp/aosp roms.
Use custom ROM which is based of Samsung with themed as aosp.
Do a search for aospcontactsmms.zip I used to have it but stopped using it due to it causing problems with the built in blacklist.

Thanks for the replies So far, I'm really impressed by how well everything works, even after removing some Apps Like all the hubs, chat, samungs e-mail and calendar app etc.
I really thought i would run into problems, since this is the first time i rooted an android phone and messed around with it. I will now try to replace the contacts app etc., and if that causes problems I'll go for cm9...or is there a ROM that's even closer to "stock ics"?
Stock ics .... Look under Android development.

JellyBam - not old emoticons

I have searched all the forums, all the sites i could possible look into, but i couldnt find one thing.
Yesterday i rooted my phone, instaled JellyBam custom rom, which is awesome etc. But one thing keeps buging me. Before this, i used simple stock rom, and used stock app to send sms. There was like a whole tab of simple android heads smileys, where i could have spammed them and click like letters. And now what, all i can do is to acces through menu and click and insert only one smiley. if i want to add more i have to repeat the same actions again and again, its quite annoying. Is there a way to make a button which would show whole smileys layout?
P.S. I'd like to use Emojis but most of people im texting doest have it, so they see just squares.
Also, when i make a call or take a call, and talk, i can hear my own voice through speakers where i should hear only callers voice, this never happened with Stock rom and kernel. Any thoughts?

[Q] Hyperdrive ROM RLS5.7 Touchwiz Crashes

When I first tried the Hyperdrive ROM, it was RLS4. I was experiencing touchwiz crashes periodically, so I switched back to Synergy ROM in the hopes that this wouldn't occur once Hyperdrive had been updated. I've recently flashed Hyperdrive RLS5.7 and I'm experiencing the exact same touchwiz crashes. I'm not sure how to fix them, but it's making the ROM all but unusable for me. I really like all of the features, but it's back to Synergy until I can figure this out. Can anyone help me out with these crashes? If I can't get this resolved, does anyone know of any alternative ROMs with similar customization and functionality? Thanks for any and all help.

What exactly is crashing on you and when is it crashing ie what are you doing?
First off, I'd just like to thank you for trying to help as I realize that after all of the work you've already done on this ROM you're in no way obligated to help me out, and I appreciate that.
I'm having Touchwiz crash on me (it becomes unresponsive and then pops up with a message before resetting itself) whenever I try to move an application or remove one from a page. I've considered that this may be a conflict with my previous ROM, Synergy, as it has an extra row of apps on each page. I wipe everything multiple times before flashing, but I use Titanium Backup which may store app layout data. I have nothing to support that guess, its just a theory of mine.

Whatsapp getting killed, other apps too

Hello, guys,
I have had Redmi Note 3 for 6 months now and I have been struggling with an annoying issue.
Whatsapp gets killed after a little time of idleness and unless I kill it in the task manager and restart it, I cannot either receive or send messages. When I check in the running apps section, it is not there so the OS certainly kills it. And just clicking its icon on the desktop, opens the GUI but it does not work unless I force close it and re-open it.
I have had issues with Whatsapp on previous devices - more of the common stuff - delayed notifications, messy push service. This is something else.
MIUI 8 is notorious, it seems, for its RAM and Battery management killing apps and I often struggle with that, too. For example: I minimize VLC to open Firefox. I switch back to VLC - ok, the movie starts over, the app has been killed. This is really annoying and I have turned off all kinds of optimization to prevent it, with no success. I am not sure, though, that it is connected to the Whatsapp issue. Because Whatsapp seems to get killed when the phone is idle for a moment but not when switching between apps.
I rarely use Viber but I think the situation there is the same. I sent a message to a friend and I got no response. I opened the app 5 days later and the response came However, it had tried to arrive 2 minutes after my original message. But I had not opened Viber for 5 days, so...that happened.
Let me know if you need details about my settings. I would be really grateful if someone can share some insight on what might the issue be. I guess if I root the phone I can try and locate the culprit module that kills apps. Maybe edit a config file to disable the killing functionality. It is clear this ROM does not like running apps....
Thanks,
Kiril Ekblad
P.S. I have been on Google multiple times: nobody seems to have that issue.
Disable battery saver
developer options -> disalbe MIUI optimization
MIUI is way to aggressive in killing apps ....
maybe go for a custom rom?
You can follow this https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...de-redmi-note-3-sd-mtk-multi-tasking-t3358433 and see how it`s going with push up notification.
When i`ve used miui 8, i`ve done this things and it seems to work good, but anyway push up notification came with a small delay..
For this reason i left miui 8 (very bad ram management) and flashed nougat custom rom and everything working good
Thank you, all
I have actually tried all of these and all steps in the quoted topic. No difference whatsoever. I would gladly go for a custom ROM bit things have gotten really complicated lately. A coupke of yeara aho I would easily grab and flash a custom ROM. Now when I browse through the ROMs topics here I get frustrates.
Something about firmwares, stuck bootloaders I have no idea where to start.
Oh and I don't want to lose slow motoon and time lapse videos. Do you know of a custom ROM that supports them ans the stock one does?

Try clean flash of MIUI ROM or flash Epic / Xiaomi.eu ROM
Thanks, I will have to research on the EPIC/EU ROM.
I am all for changing the ROM as long as I can cope with the flashing and I do not lose any of the significant features of the stock ROM.
By the way, recently - the last several days - I have noticed that on multiple occasions Whatsapp seems to be running - it is showing in the Running apps and still the program cannot either receive or send until I force close it and re-start. Whatsapp web also says Phone not connected.
