Anyone else using Cerberus? When i change some settings the phone reboots. It also never takes a pic on incorrect password on lockscreen.
I use cerebrus on my unlocked unrooted HTC One. Works perfectly, flawlessly,without any crashes
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
If you're using stock kernel then yes, it will reboot on settings save. This happens because Cerberus writes the settings to an xml file in /system/etc so that it can still function even after a factory reset (which wipes data but not system.)
Problem is the stock kernel blocks remount rw and writes to the system partition, thus the reboot.
You'll need to find a custom kernel with rw enabled.
I am running complete stock. Cerebrus works perfectly without any reboots. It even sends me an email of the person as soon as someone enters a wrong unlock code

No problems here with Cerberus on my H1. Running ARHD 7.3 though with teaMSeven kernel.
Maybe I'll install the flash zip style one.

You can do that from within the app, but you want to make sure you reset the dial code to something you remember too.

Hey jasunto, did you ever get the rebooting to stop? Just rooted my HTC One M7 and installed cerberus through recovery and it reboots every time i change settings. Am a newbie at this. thanks

Accidentally click on "update" when it prompts. It makes no sense to have OTA update enabled for customized ROMs, but anyway to disable it? Thanks all.
This might do it
Just try for errors. I used root explore to edit the file "build.prop" in the system folder. Changed the Blur version to a large number (much larger than a practical one) and also change the rdf link information to an invalid one, as follows.
ro.mot.hw.uaprof=http://uaprof.motorola.com/phoneconfig/MotoMB999/profile/MotoMB999.rdf
ro.build.version.full=Blur_Version.99.9.9.MB855.Sprint.en.US
Then you need to reboot and wipe your cache with CM. After did so, the OTA update windows has never popped up so far and I won't even get the OTA update through the setting menu. But not sure if these edits will cause other issues, so you may try at your risk.
I would be interested to know if that effectively solves the issue, my Photon is running Laser and just today has started bugging me about the update every 3 hours.

Upon reboot did anybody get a pop up saying "An unexpected error has occurred, please try again later [ok]"?
Phone seems to be running fine though.

What do I use to clear the cache for this process?
you need to reboot to recovery mode and select "wipe cache" in the "advanced" tab. If you don't have it installed, pls check this post.

For those that might not be as technically inclined or you don't want to take the chance in editing your build.prop you can also do this:
1. Download bloat freezer from the market. (its free)
2. I should have said first you have to be rooted or it wont work
3. Open bloat freezer and it will list all apps and processes; scroll down until you see "Updater".
4. Freeze that process. It will stay frozen until you defrost it.
5. That is it no more OTA pushes or Notifications
I know we all don't like OTA updates when you're unlocked, rooted, and running a custom rom and/or kernel. The hassle of flashing back and forth can be annoying too so this is a simple fix until we get custom radio's for the photon
The new Joker ROM is based off the latest OTA. But I think you have to install to leak to update the radios and what not then install the ROM. But you won't get any OTA updates as you'll be on the latest version. Home Base/Alien/Star Wars are all running on the 154 build.
You could also edit the build.prop file so that the system thinks you have the latest version...but you won't have all the fixes, so you should probably flash the latest SBF.

ok you have erased and deregistered your device from the nook tablet stock settings right? which means ur still rooted in terms of being able to run sideloaded apks.
if you want to take the short route u can just download go launcher ex on your computer and sideload it any do the same process for anything else you are missing, but i would recommend you start from scratch.
to start from scratch, find the superuser.apk which can be found in the nook and zergy installation folder, sideload it onto your nook tablet and also sideload the Nook Tablet Unroot App which Indirect created. Run that app and if all goes well you should have a stock nook tablet at 1.4.0.
just re-run your nook and zergy and you should be fine.
the other option is using adb hijack app, but seeing as you are a novice, i don't think you would want to go that route. hope this helps.
Oh thank you!! Ya I downloaded adb before to go that route and it hurt my brain a little Haha I was happy to find indirects method. Thank you a ton I will do that now!

Okay im getting pretty nervous that im royally screwed. My nook looks like stock 1.4.0 except the little mini book and back button in the status bar that came when I rooted. However....there is no internet browser application ....and every apk I have sideloaded it says.....the nook cannot read this type of file....so I figured I need to re load the appmenu.apk and enable third party....well dur it wont read that file apk either. What gave I done????? Anyone???

ok... what exactly did you do? did you run the nook unroot application that indirect created? I'm kind of confused as to what you did after I posted my suggestions.
I would suggest that you do this.
If it comes to it, power down, hold power and 'n' and it'll turn on, then come to the black background with the n logo then power off. Release just the power button and press and hold again for 7 more times.
On the 9th time just use the power button to turn it on and it'll prompt you with some warnings. Follow through with the continue and it will perform the steps.
BE WARNED: this will perform a complete factory restore so any installed apps will be gone but it won't touch your SD card.

Well I decided to start from scratch...so I moved the superuser apk over to my tablet and the unroot apk.....but neither of them would open in mu tablet.....it would just say.

You cannot install apks that way, it will always say that, easiest way is to install the GApps and then get root explorer and copy the files from your SD card to /system/app.

It says my su binary is out of date..but when I update it fails. I just want to unroot and start over. I emailed myself the superuser app from the indirect rooting folder....downloaded it ob my tablet and it installed just fine....so did the unroot file.....is this because I didn't copy it over the way you are saying?

Ok ready im gonna walk you through it.
Root your device
Download the latest super user package, the full package
Unzip the package on your computer, and then find the su in ./system/bin and the SuperUser.apk into the sdcard.
Using root explorer, mount /system/ as rw, and then copy su into /system/bin and superuser.apk into /system/app.
done
your instructions are very clear, but I am not sure how I can move anything in ROOT explorer when I can't get root explorer on my device in the first place....I finally found a download in my browser, and was able to install it on my device...but when I go in there is no option to MOUNT R/W it is simply mounted in R/O....
I keep RE-downloading Go Launcher from my email, and re-opening it....because every single time I hit my N button it takes me back to stock with no way to find the go launcher app....I don't care as long as I can get this dang SU issue fixed so I can unroot and be done with this. what am I missing here, I am sorry i must be very frustrating...but there is no option to change the system to R/W in my root explorer, where there was the button at the top to easily do that before. I am assuming it has to do with the SU not being updated, but I can't do that without rootexplorere akkk and I am not advanced enough to use ADB I dont think.....any ideas? my tablet easily downloads and installs things from emails.....thats the only thing I have going for me right now
hello!
i got an lg optimus 4x hd which has worked pretty fine along with the ICS 4.0.3.
A few days ago I noticed that suddenly, I were not longer able to install aps from "unknown sources". the box is checked in settings, but there is no way to install external software.
i can tell you which apps are running in background (because i ve read that intelliscreen-app has been reported to cause this error, too):
-settings
-k9-mail
-setcpu
-handcent sms
-taschenlampe
-temp+cpuv2
-business calendar
-lux
-dropbox
-mail
-greenpower premium
-software update (LG)
-google services
-wetter
-swift key 3
and none of them has changed in the last few days, i have deleted every single new app I had installed before.
does anyone know more?

How to Install?
1.) Download update.zip and place on root of SDCard
2.) Reboot into recovery
3.) flash update.zip
4.) Wipe both caches
5.) reboot
6.) update google apps, and install Play services
Hopefully this helps anyone having problems with this. I have tested this on vigor360, but i don't see what it wouldnt work on other sense roms.

Yeah...its just replacing the package.xml file in the /data/system directory. The reason people are having problems is the gms or Google Play Services didn't have permission in that file or more simple put all the gms lines are missing from the file So when you went to install it. It checks the file and because the gms stuff isn't there it denies it or you get that shared id error. All this file does is add the gms lines needed for Google services nothing else is changed or modded.

Yup that's what needs to happen. The thing is they need to go in a certain area within the file so I'm doing a little testing to make sure it doesn't screw up. Theres one other thing I'm gonna try is using the permissions folder and creating a separate file and add it to that directory instead of the package.xml

So was this updated? I'm having an issue where Google Hangouts force closes after a while and won't stop until I uninstall and reinstall it, so I was thinking about giving this a try. I think Hangouts ran for 6 days this last time before it started forceclosing.
Well, I was just been trying some build.prop tweaks to get lower screen dencity on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0(running kitkat 4.4.2) and there are generally 2 lines with same name ro.sl.lcd.density=160 (default)( one under screen brightness settings and other under system info)
What i did was that i changed both these to 140 and rebooted(used romtoolbox, its good enough to get a backup or original before even touching it) after the reboot, my systemUI started to crash repeatedly , not letting me open any app, i tried being fast enough to change the values to default but was not able to because systemUI was crashing too fast.
So i decided to use twrp recovery to paste the backup one to original place(/system) so i opened terminal in twrp at / location(root) and typed "cp /sdcard/romtoolbox/build.prop-backups/build.prop /system"(renamed trhe backup file already in file manager in twrp) and it did copying, but the problem was not solved(systemUI crashing) after reboot i tried repeatedly by first deleting build.prop from /system and then copying from backup to there
i checked it was there by typing "ls" by opening terminal in /system and it showed build.prop was there but all this didnt helped me to get my systemUI to respond normaly
so i flashed full stock md5(from sammobile.com) and it is running now
i wanted to ask why was the process i opted didnt worked? what went wrong?
actually when i used to have 4.1.2 on my tab, there were 2 lcd density , but one was 160 and other was 240, so i used to change 160 one to 140 to get tabletUI(I like tabletUI the most) and it went normally with some samsung's default apps not working, or works distorted, but i was happy with that, so when i flashed 4.4.2 to it then i thought to get tabletUI again, but was stuck with the problem stated above!
though it is working now, I just want to know the reason for why didnt my process worked out
