Swipe feature not working - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

So i rooted the phone with a pre-rooted stock, de-bloated rom. I found out that swipe was no longer working after i did this. The tracing line still shows up on my keyboard but it never attempts to guess the word. the option is on in the settings menu.
Any idea what to do outside of ta reflash?
thanks

Because to add the apn settings it gave you a new menu. The menu is based off the stock. That's why you lost your custom options. By the way I'm pretty sure beans already had apn options so you don't need that anyways.
Dirty flash your ROM and you'll have it all back

[Q] com.android.keyguard problem

After flashing a new version of CM11, i found myself in a loop upon startup where many of the core applications of android stopped working. When i reverted back to the old version that worked(I didn't have a backup saved but rather i flashed the older nightly of the rom again), I noticed that my home button, lock screen, and notification bar/toggle screen wasn't working any more. I looked into it and looked at my apps, and saw an unnamed app with the description "com.android.keyguard". upon looking this process up, i found out that when people disabled this process their home button, lock screen, and notification bar stopped working (coincidental eh?), and decided that this was the source of the problem.
Is there any way to load on a new, fresh version of "com.android.keyguard" or should i just do a factory reset? I would prefer to save my local data, but if i must do it in order to have a phone that does anything useful, i obviously will.
If I need to do a factory reset, what is the cleanest and smartest method of doing so? I know titanium backup can cause a lot of problems (and in this case i'm worried it will duplicate com.android.keyguard), but I assume there is some sort of method that makes a factory reset while retaining the bulk of user data very easy. am i correct?
Do a full wipe and flash again, check the md5 of your download.
Only use titanium for use apps, never system apps or settings. There is no easier way to change rom.
I have the same problem now..I have did the full reset.But the problem is not going at all.
What should I do?

long press back, kill app

hi I am looking for modifications that will allow me to close the application by prolonged pressing back.
What rom are you using?
Have your looked in the Developer's Tools, should be at the bottom.
If you have Xposed you can use Gravity Box module. There a setting for that on there. Done the same on Lollipop, mainly to shorten the long press delay.
I use Stock rom deodexed 4.1.2, version modem - I9100XXMS4, number version - ALEXNDR.I9100XWMS3

Try in phone settings and about phone, tapping build number until it says development options enabled. And if that works you should have development options in phone settings now. Right at the bottom of development settings should be back to kill. If not you can't use it unless you have a custom rom. Been a while since I've used stock.
Unfortunately it did not work, but I worked it out by installing modifications.
Thank you for tryin to help.

[Q] 5.0.1 Rooted and de-bloated. Does encryption work?

I upgraded from a rooted 4.4.2 using muniz instructions last night and using the DeOdexed ROM, and then used his batch DeBloater on Extreme to remove all the crap. The upgrade wiped my phone (not a bad thing, I wanted to start fresh), so I'm at a fresh starting point other than what is mentioned above. Thanks muniz btw, you're awesome.
From here I wanted to turn on Phone encryption, as an extra security measure. Encrypting the external SD card went fine, but encrypting the phone did not... It displayed the little encrypting android screen for a few seconds and then went black, button presses did nothing. After waiting over an hour I pulled the battery and restarted. I got informed that the encryption failed and the phone would be restored to factory default. No biggy, just back where I was an hour ago.
So the question is, before I try this all over again, does the encryption work with this custom ROM and debloated? Is there anything special I can do or might be doing wrong? And will this interfere with root or anything else I may want to install in the future?
Does anyone use the built in encryption with their android?

You need to disable superuser, reboot phone, enable the encryption and then re-root. I did this and everything was working fine until one of my kids entered my pin wrong a few times in a row and the phone did a factory reset... I upgraded to OC1 rather than go through all the trouble again.

Weird Quick Pull Downs Issue

I figured that I would reach out to the larger community because I am really stumped. I've got a rooted LG G3 on Verizon, I've had it a few years now. I recently changed ROMs and my status bar pulldown no longer works while in portrait orientation, it is fine in landscape. Easy enough right? It would either be a problem with the ROM or the digitizer along the top of the screen is shot.
Pretty standard stuff so far. I can do the status bar pulldown from the lockscreen while in portrait mode, so we know the digitizer is fine. I would usually say to reflash, go to your backup, or try a different ROM.
Doing all of those things, the problem persists. On all of the flashes, I did complete wipes. As of today, I even did a TWRP format followed by complete wipes and a fresh install (note that this made me loose my backup). Problems are still there. Any ideas what I should try next?
Read this guide to flash back to stock (10b TOT) and start over: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089
After that you'll be on kitkat, just root with stumproot, then flash TWRP with flashify.
I've had to do this probably 5-8 times because of weird issues. So far it's helped me every time.
