[Q} Few Questions with Rooted Sero 7 Pro - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey hey!
First, Thanks to xboxexpert for the amazing work for this thing. I bought the Sero 7 Pro blindly because it was cheap, searched from my phone before leaving the parking lot and found the rooting thread, AWESOME! Also, the HDMI throwing, awesome as well. :good:
Anyway, I've rooted this thing perfectly. Installed the CWM, then this:
[ROM] XE-SeroROM v².¹ 213 DPI [Slightly Stripped] P756.6.02.11.00 ... LOVE IT
(Did not install any custom Battery Mod)
Anyway, I seemed to have messed up something(very little and if I get no answers I would understand).
Somehow there is still a screenshot button, I liked it before when I installed the other one(v1 no wipe version) and it was gone, bo big deal, if anyone knows why its there now(says it should be gone?) let me know please ... If not, not a big deal. EDIT: forgot to mention it seems to be stuck on the "video" but the video that is playing is the one that is for like display models IN the store.... Quite annoying haha.
OK I also managed to somehow turn the "Daydream" thing on, but its stuck on "video" and won't let me change it off of there(I can DISABLE daydream, but once I enable it, stuck on video no matter how much I change it). I seem to remember me checking a box that told it to do this, but I can;t for the life of me remember where....Silly me :\
One more thing --
It seems a lot of the options in the "Tweakbox" that came loaded with the SeroROM v2 do not want to work? I do not know if this is because they are not compatible with this tablet or if I just seemed to mess something up, or just am doing something wrong.
Any/all help if greatly appreciated. None of these are huge issues and I might be able to figure it all out. I did try reading through about 1/2 the pages in the Sero 7 pro thread, but it seems that these questions have not been asked in there, at least not to my knowledge. THANKS AGAIN!!

re the screenshot button: it's a 2 (or 3) step process:
1. Flash the new ROM
2. Flash the tablet UI (that's the part that nukes the screen shot), and
3. Flash a battery display circle mod (optional).
re the Tweakbox. You have to activate the Xposed installer in order to activate Tweakbox -- including making sure that the Tweakbox module is checked and then rebooting. That said, I haven't found anything in Tweakbox that really floats my boat).
Re both of the above, check Post 3 in xboxexpert's thread carefully (there's a lot in there!)
re Daydream or the video, I can't help. Daydream works fine on mine (although I keep it turned off in the interest of faster charging).

[Q] calkulins Rom

i just noticed that the "My Apps" button in the market now looks like a phone and says "sprint"
If i click on it it doesn't take me to my apps.
Anyone else having this problem?
That's normal for this build. If you click on your Menu, you'll find My Apps there.
Thanks you were right
Best ROM on XDA
+1
I'm really enjoying this ROM. The speed of the machine is phenomenal.
Love the Rom ad well but can't seem to get the market updated or to show all apps. Any thoughts?
I've tried market enabled to no avail.
Issue with ROM or with G-Tab?
I've noticed that if I let the g-tab go to sleep, I'm having to reboot it get it to wake up.
Is anyone else having this issue? I've had my tablet since x-mas, but have nto used it much. It sat in a desk drawer for about 2 months, and I'm just now getting into using it.

I have this issue with every rom ive tried on my gtab. So now I pretty much just install clem's kernel everytime. Plus it gives me CIFS so I can stream media from my windows pc .

Yeah, again it's just the build. There are a ton of hacks that will get you more of the market, but I doubt you'll ever get "everything". Considering that the GTab wasn't blessed by Google, we're lucky to have the devs here to get the market at all.

Another issue with this ROM. Some have fixed it by going to Clemsyn's kernel, others to Pershoot's and still others by using CPU Master Free. Personally, I just set my tab's Screen Timeout to Never. What can I say...I like simple.

Been getting over 2500 on quadrant consistently with a high of 2612. It's the fastest my tab has run so far.

I agree. The only problems I see with it are no news and weather widget like on tnt, and the horrible photo album (I think it's from stock?)
Fireware
This may be a stupid question, so I am sorry if it is, but Calkulins v1.1 says it is "Based on rooted 2.2 / FRF91 - TnT 3991"...
so can you run it on the 1.1-3588 firmware, or will that brick?
Again, sorry for my ignorance...
Thanks!
ROM's and Firmware are the same thing. If you're asking whether you can use ClockworkMod or standard recovery, the answer is yes. Calkulin's ROM is a hybrid using the newer 3991 build for features but the older bootloader and recovery. It shouldn't cause you any trouble loading it over 3588.
Thanks! Sorry, I confused the firmware with bootloader, thanks for straightening that out!
No problem. Just want to make sure that I understand the question correctly. Happy modding!
All Done!
Woot!! I will say, I bought this on the woot! deal... and although I consider myself very computer savvy, I have never rooted/hijacked/whatever a device before...
Happily this was super easy! I wanted use the stock ROM for a bit to get familiar with it, but I just couldn't stand how slow/unresponsive/just crappy it was!!
So I jumped the gun and started in... luckily I did a lot of reading first!!
Loaded up Clockworkmod - and made a backup first!! lol
Used clockworkmod to install Calkulins ROM---OMG is it fast!!
The found that I was having the sleep-death issue... so I loaded up Clemsyns Kernel Too!!
Not a single hiccup! Even for a noob- this is super easy! Just follow all the great advice on the XDA forums (and don't skip steps!) and you can't screw it up.
Thanks to all the great people on here, for the hard work, and patience... I love seen good communities like this!
DeadEnd
Which version of Clemsyns is recommended?
Hi,
clakulins ROM is my prefered ROM so far
But, it needs some issues to be addressed to make it my daily driver.
1- sleep-to-death
I know we can use another kernel to fix this (so I keep this fix for later if everything else can work)
2- Settings/Family accounts/add member
This FC every single time. I definitly need this functionality. My Gtab being a family device....
3- Photos is horrible as previosuly pointed out in this thread. I want a centralized place for all my photos, or at least for local storage + picasa. With this gallery, we can only access picasa public albums. What about my own account !!!
4- Photos started to display pictures roatated one quarter to the left. It doesnt let me re-rotate them back to original. It does that for evey single picture, i cant fix this. Photos is now unusable
I tried a few Photos gallery apps from the market (6-7 so far). None of them works to my liking.
I just want somethings simple that get access to all my pics.
5- Cant play videos anymore. Not even the sample 'car' and 'king kong' that came with the Gtab.
If I can fix all of the above, calkulin will be my only and permanent ROM.
(ps items 4 and 5 were previously working ok in this ROM, this started yesterday)
Also, another things that is on my whish list:
- Have bluetooth HID
I have this blutooth keyboard collecting dust on the used parts shelve that I would like to use with the Gtab
thank you calkulin for all,
So, I decided to install clemsyn kernel to fix this sleep-death problem.
No problem installing, everything went well.
But now instead of comlaining that it cant play videos, it just FC on every videos I try to play.
I feel a complete reinstall will be necessary.

two problem with the new TNT lite 4.4

Hi everyone, and hails to all devs. I'm a long time lurker, first post here. Should have posted in the development thread, but it won't let me because I never posted before :-( ... so hopefully roebeet looks at this section as well...
Also, some background about myself, I'm an android phone user, being using an rooted MB300 phone for a year now. But I am a new gtablet user, and jumped onto this bandwagon with the rest of the wooters. I've flashed the newest TnT lite 4.4 (3/30/2011) onto my gtablet, the installation is smooth, booted up without a problem, and just to be safe, I also did a data wipe (well, actually a factory reset since I didn't use CWM to flash the system). The system runs fine, everything works great, except two things.
1. It won't let me switch input method. I've downloaded and installed swiftkey and iflytek to the gtablet, and in settings, it won't let me check the enable checkbox, after pressing on the checkbox for about 100 times, it finally give me a FC...
2. The speaker constantly playing a low pitch drumming sound for no reason, the sound comes randomly, even during the system idle, with no apps running (i force stopped all running apps in application management). So I figure it is not a problem associated with a perticular app.
is anyone else experiencing the same problems, or is it just me? If it is just me, I'll probabiliy reflash the rom, and hopefully have better luck at it.
Thanks a lot.
To get the keyboard working you'll need to move the apk to data/app then reboot and switch keyboards like normal, I used root explorer. As for the sound issue, I'm not having anything like that on my end so not sure.
Yeah, the keyboard addon issue is one that stock has had since Day One, so TNT Lite is also affected. It's one of many reasons why VEGAn is such a popular ROM, as it doesn't have this problem. VEGAn also supports USB mice, as I recall, whereas TNT (Lite) does not. I keep hoping that the vendor will fix this problem, one of these days.
That sound might be a hardware problem, however. I would recommend getting back to a clean stock baseline like 3588, and test it that way for a day or so. TNT Lite 4.4.0 is using a UAT 3991 system image that should work fine, but perhaps there's something buggy in there. I haven't had the issue, at least not yet.
thanks a bunch for the replies, I've actually played with the stock rom for a day before flashing, it doesn't seem to have to sound problem, and I've flashed to calkulin's rom, it doesn't have to sound problem as well, maybe if i reflash tnt lite, the problem would go away. As for the input method, after encounter the same thing with calkulin's rom, I figured it would be a limitation with orginal tnt system... thanks a lot anyways, I'll try out the different roms on the board, have nothing better to do at friday night anyways...
That keyboard thing
I went nuts wondering why I couldn't change keyboards even when I had three different ones in the input method showing. Here is something someone else posted that seems to work everywhere. I just tested it on tnt lite 4.40 and it works there too. Go to some app that wants keyboard input. I used QuickOffice - QuickWord. Touch the area that will call up a keyboard for input but do a long press. A menu will pop up and one of the choices will be input method. When you choose it another menu will pop up with all the keyboards you have installed. Whichever one you select will become your new default keyboard. To change to another just repeat this procedure. Hope this helps.
enigma0456,
I have the same issue as the original poster and what you and many others describe does NOT work for new keyboards installed via standard methods. Before new keyboards can be exposed to that selection list they need to be enabled and the TNT settings UI doesn't allow for this. :-(
I put together a quick tutorial to push whatever keyboard apk you want to the system.

That's very cool, good to know.

I do not have any problems with the speakers.
Have not tried a different keyboard.
I am seeing problems coming out of sleep. I get FC on gapps and have noticed lag as well.
Problems with tnt lite 4.40
Hello everyone, i'm new to the rooting and flashing thing. I just bought the viewsonic g-tab and right off the bat noticed that I hate the orginal software. I rooted it with Z4 and flashed TNT lite 4.40. I am having f/c all the time and it freezes just about the same. I have tried to watch movies on it but am unable to hear sound.
Ist it the apps or possably the flash? Again I'm new to this stuff if anybody could help.
Also what is the difference when you root with Z4 than with anyother? Can I flash other roms like vegan if I have already flashed TNT?

Yep. Just make sure you wipe data and cash. Were you getting the process.acore fc? If so that is a known and easily fixable solution. Did you ever use cwm to fix permissions? That really hrlps with fcs
Im not sure what process.acore or cwm.....Im really green at this, first time doing it

You don't need cwm, at least not yet. Backup the data you care about, then do a data wipe via Settings -- Security -- Factory Restore (and let it reboot).

I am new to all this too..but i will take a shot....
Do you know what version you had before you went to TNT Lite?
You could try a factory reset (settings->security) to see if it fixes your problems.
Unless you were on the most recent update of the stock ROM version (build 4349) and you dont care about it in the near future, the usual way to flash a new ROM was using ClockworkMod (cwm)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865245
However with the new update (4349) things are in a flux right now, cwm is not the best thing to use if you are on an older stock rom, and if you want to install 4349 at some point. Read through the stickies and familiarize yourself with everything that is going on.
youtube videos by ehunyadi are also a good source of information.

[Q] A lot of issues with the Galaxy Tab, need some help please

Hi,
So I just recently got the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and I have to say I'm a bit disappointed. I am familiar with Android and I know what I'm doing (or so I think lol) but some things just aren't working and I don't know if it's me or software limitation. Regardless I'm hoping someone can shedd some light on these...
1. The market is lacking a LOT of applications that are available on phones. Is that right? I thought it would just scale for the most part....I can't even find the official Facebook app on the market. Am I looking in the wrong place or something? Hulu? Netflix??
1a. Some applications that I sideload (mainly widgets) like typoclock or something of that sort....install, but when I go to add the widget it is not there, as if never installed. Even when I try to reinstall it, it says that it will replace the old one so i know for a fact that it installs, but the widgets aren't available, and they arent listed in the installed apps drawer either.
2. It seems kind of sluggish...and I really haven't installed much, even from a cold boot...it's kinda laggy, not as quick as I have seen on some review videos. Quadrant scores around 1400-1500. I Rooted it, installed the latest SunBurst ROM and overclocked to 1.4Ghz and it's still laggy often despite nearing 3000 on quadrant now.
3. So I couldn't get any Netflix apk to work on it stock, so once I rooted, installed Sunburst ROM it came installed with a Netflix app, but I don't think it's official since the icon is orange and has a little android on it. Needless to say THAT app doesn't work and CAN'T be installed (I figure it's cooked onto the ROM) regardless I found a Netflix apk that install and replaces it, and works...but after one day it reverts back to the old netflix and doesn't work. So pretty much everytime I want to use Netflix I have to reinstall and overwrite with the new Netflix apk I found...it's annoying. (and the search function doesn't work on that Netflix either)
I know it's a lot to rant about and a lot of issues, and I love the tab and honeycomb, but I can't believe these issues still persist. I hope someone can help me with one/all of these and I will be forever grateful.
Thanks, hope someone can help...
1a. Try a restart after you install a widget. It seems that if the widget is not made for HC, it doesn't appear before you restart.
i tried rebooting but that didn't help any unfortunately...
There's a netflix 1.3 APK somewhere that sideloads perfectly. I haven't tried it with Touchwiz yet - I haven't even touched Touchwiz.
Try stock ROM first. Your ROM might have broken something. I know Bonsai completely broke USB storage support as an example, and Starburst claims to be the "most complete and fastest Touchwiz experience" which means it's going to have missing and broken things. Any ROM dev making claims like that is compensating for something. The "hacked-icon" Netflix app is an obvious sign they went a LITTLE too far.
Netflix sideload works perfectly on my Tab. Unrooted. TouchWiz. Stock.
i tried netflix fix on starburst rom, it did work but reverted back to fcs after a reboot. i switched to bonsai 3, netflix seems to be working fine even after a reboot.
2. It seems kind of sluggish...
The default launcher is a bit sluggish, it is a honeycomb issue. For me I have seen after a "reboot", the tab does take a couple of minutes to "settle", then it is smooth for me, but if you have lot of widgets on your homescreens it will be sluggish, my experience in any case.
thanks to all you guys for all the replies.
As far as the Netflix, I know I do have the correct apk I think the issue is that it isn't playing nice with the one that is baked into the rom. I guess I will have to install another rom.
However I haven't heard anything on the apps, is that right? There's no Facebook? Anyoneelse having issues with Widgets not appearing?
For Facebook search for an app in the market called 'Friend Me'
Looks great and works great =)
for getting rid of sluggishness try this launcher: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1188701

Thanks! Good call, app looks great!
@js931,I'll give that launcher a try and see how it goes.
I understand and feel for you on your problems. My 3rd (and final) Galaxy Tab is on the way to me from Amazon.com. I also have an Asus Transformer on the way as well and the device that gives me the least amount of problems is the device I plan to keep. I want to like the Tab but I don't have high hopes since I'm about to be on my 3rd device. The 2nd one worked perfectly after Touchwiz for a while - even fixed issues I was having such as the typing lag - but the issues I had with the first one (screen and/or Wifi doesn't respond after bringing the device out of sleep) resurfaced a few days ago. The 2nd Tab also had something loose on the inside as it produces a loud rattling noise whenever it vibrates. While that is easily cured by turning off the vibration, I paid $600 for this device and I expect it to be near-perfect. So any little issue I have with this 3rd Tab means it's going back for a refund and I'll keep the Transformer... assuming it behaves like it should, lol.
At any rate, good luck with your issues. The Tab is a beautiful device but seems to be problematic... at least that's my experience with it.

[Q] Experiencing very specific force closes.... possible causes/solutions? Any ideas?

I have been experiencing a series of force closes. I am posting this to see if anyone else has experienced this, and whether anyone can suggest a fix. I'm pretty sure it was something I did, but I'm not sure what. I'm hoping that this can maybe narrow it down.
Device: SM-N900P
Firmware: OC5, stock, rooted, with several tweaks and modifications(detailed below).
The problem: I am getting several force closes. They only occur when I am trying to open certain settings. So, they aren't just popping up at random. They are slightly troubling, but not really problematic. Which is to say, aside from the actual force closes themselves, I don't really seem to be experiencing any major problems. Here are the FC's I am experiencing:
-Menu> Settings> General> Battery: This one results in a "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped" dialog box, and an immediate return to my home screen. So, I can't check out my battery usage. I'm not seeing any crazy battery drain. By opening Root Explorer and navigating to data> system> batterystats.bin, and deleting batterystats.bin, the problem is kind of fixed- I can open battery from the settings menu after that. But there is only battery level and state displayed, no usage information(just a message saying it is not available).
-Menu> Settings> General> Developer options> Process Stats: Results in the same dialog box, and the background turns black if I don't press "OK". I'm not even sure what this does, but after my Battery started force closing, I started checking the rest of the settings out.
-Menu> Settings> Connections> Data usage: Dialog box, immediate return to home screen.
The probable cause: hard to say, I've done a few things to it. Like I said, I was hoping that someone would be able to figure out what I've done from the following information about what I have done so far. So, here goes.
I was on NK4, running Priest Punch ROM. I reverted to stock and took the OTA about a week or so ago. I immediately rooted and installed TWRP using the method in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/general/how-to-root-note-3-lollipop-t3089382 .
After rooting, I didn't see a whole lot of OC5 development, so I started poking around to see what kinds of mods I could use. First thing I wanted to do was remove bloat. I started off using Root Explorer, then I happened upon this thread featuring a bloatware removal tool for the T-Mobile variant: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-tmobile/development/tool-utility-sgn3-sm-n900x-bloat-t2813036 . It worked. I removed a bunch of apps, but nothing I wasn't sure I could safely remove(I had to check Google a few times). I did not notice any problems at this time.
Then I installed this mod to pump sound out of both speakers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/development/mod-sm-n900p-surround-sound-t2966042 . I did not notice any problems at this time.
Next, I decided I wanted more fonts, so uninstalled the preloaded fonts and pushed the apk from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2752379 . Again, no problems.
I decided that a working hotspot would be nice, so I used the method in this thread to get one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/general/lollipop-hotspot-root-flashing-t3048163 . I tested it and it worked. No problems.
I really wanted to silence my shutter sound, and I happened upon this Galaxy S4 thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261789 . It worked, and there were no issues. This was my first exposure to csc codes. I found a similar thread for the s6( http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/general/quick-guide-enabling-hidden-features-t3087506 ), and followed the instructions. I was able to enable the camera during calls and enable call recording. No problems here. I tried a keyboard mod from the same thread, which had no effect at all(good or bad), so I reverted the code for that one back.
This is when I think I started to go off the rails a bit. I saw a thread for the Polish variant of the Note 3, N9005. http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...camera-mod-note-3-n9005-lollipop-5-0-t3067827 -it had a neat sounding mod designed to improve camera quality, remove recording time and snapshot restrictions, and make 60fps HD the default camcorder mode. It took a little trial and error to get it installed, but I was making backups of files I was messing with, and was able to quickly and easily reverse any missteps. Again, the mod works fine, and I have noticed no issues. So, I started looking at the dev's other work. Which led me to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/themes-apps/secsettings-mod-17-swipe-charging-t3046032 . I wanted some different unlock effects, and I wasn't really finding them, so I tried his mod out. It was a 3 step process: replace a SecSettings app, copy paste some .ogg files, and finally, copy paste a SustemUI .apk. The first two steps went fine, but the third resulted in a persisitent, repetitive dialog box. I forget what this dialog box said, but it popped up almost as soon as I could press "OK", and I had to restore the backup of SystemUI to make it usable again. Oddly enough, about half of the new unlock animations still worked fine, and I wasn't seeing any problems after that, so I left everything else there. I liked the unlock animations, and they didn't seem to be causing any problems after I restored the original systemUi .apk.
Let's see, what else might be relevant? I was using the built-in task killer quite a bit. I'm also using SetCPU. I have 2 profiles: Screen on, 1728 MHz max, 300 MHz min, governor ondemand. And Screen off, 1036 MHz max, 300 MHz min, governor interactive. And I have installed the Material Power Menu from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-materialpowermenu-reveal-animations-t3059169 .
I started to notice the battery FC last bight. So, I wiped the battery stats as outlined above. Noticed it again today, wiped stats again, and kept checking it. After about an hour, it was force closing again. That's when I started poking around and found the others.
I dunno if anything can be done about this, or if anyone might know what's wrong. And, like I said, Aside from these FC's I'm not experiencing any real problems. I'm a little worried that they may get worse, or turn into something more serious, but I can always restore a backup if that happens. But if there is some kind of fix for these issues, I would use it. Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to read this wall of text, and tale of irresponsible phonery.
These are all settings that monitor usage.... should that tell me anything? I have tried wiping cache and dalvik, but that only seems to fix battery usage and data usage very temporarily(like, for a minute or less). And it doesn't seem to have effect on Process Stats.
My thoughts:
Seeing as you have flashed a lot of mods, it could be anything. If it were me, I'd start the rom from scratch. Then for the first step, instead of removing apps, I'd freeze them with titanium backup and give that a day or two to check the stability.
If that works, I'd continue with the mods one by one, giving a day or so for stability checks.
If you'd rather not do all that, you could use a logcat to find the origin of the problems.

I'd probably try the logcat first. One, because I hate doing stuff over, and two, Ive neber done it before and it should be a learning experience. Is it complicated? I'm assuming there is a thread here on xda about it...

It's fairly straight forward. I did one to see why an app wasn't loading, didn't need instructions. But that was a fairly simple check, yours sounds more complicated. I'd do a bit of reading on it.

Will do. Thanks for your help!
Okay well I decided to re flash OC5 and start from scratch.
I took it back to stock and re rooted. Am now debloating....no isssues yet.
I have flashed everything except the Polish camera mod and the wallpapers. Having zero issues of any kind. I know it can take difficulties some time to manifest themselves, but I'm betting it is either the lock screen animations or the camera mod. Leaning towards the lock screen animations because it involves messing with system.ui...
Okay, made a new backup and flashed the camera mod. No issues. After every mod, I have been going back and checking for issues. This is all stil pretty new, but if everything is still fine after a couple of days, well, I will be convinced that it was the lock rings. Not surprising obviously that flashing stuff meant for foreign variants can wreck your sh*t, lol.

LS990 lost rotation functionality after root

Hi,
I used l33tlinuxh4x0r's excellent script (here) to root my G3 running ZVB. It took awhile because of recurring USB driver issues (my Windows machine has some wacky ports) but it went nicely other than the time I spent with that.
I haven't done much else. I'm thinking of trying a custom ROM like Fulmics v5.1, Bliss v6.4, or CM 12.1 but, for now, I've just granted root to a couple things including Xposed, and maybe that's the cause of this problem but I wanted to ask before doing anything else.
Images, web-pages, videos - nothing goes to landscape anymore when I turn the phone. I have the Rotation toggle ("Auto-rotate screen") active in the Notification Panel and, when I go to Display settings, I see that it's enabled there.
Always looking for welcome suggestions. So glad that xda is here. Thanks, always.

I disabled Xposed and the 'Greenify' & 'G3 Tweaks' modules which I'd added under its framework so, nope, that wasn't it.
One of the initial attractions for me to this phone was its display so this is sad for me.
