I just installed Themer on two devices. For the most part it is working on both devices except I am unable to create a hotspot using the Contact Shortcut feature. Creating the hotspot works, but when you attempt to use it the screen flashes, a white box pops up stating "loading" then clears and no action is taken. This happens both on the Galaxy S3 running cyanogenmod, and a nexus 4 running omnirom.

Hi, are both your devices running custom DPI/resolution settings? For now, Themer only supports stock display settings, and changing them has caused hotspots to not work properly. If this isn't the case, try this:
1. Uninstall Themer.
2. Delete the /sdcard/MyColorScreen folder (remove the Exported folder if you saved any themes).
3. Reinstall Themer.
If there are still issues, let us know.

Devices are running stock DPI and the issue is persistent through fresh install, program/data/sddata wipe, and full system wipe.

These are across several roms(senseless, bulletproof, etc) and don't seem rom specific.
First is creating a contact: I create a google contact(on device or online), doesn't seem to matter if it is in a group or not, and they don't show up in contacts. If I type their name to send an SMS it appears, but otherwise isn't searchable.
Second: on reboot the ringtone and notification sound I choose gets reset. Most of the time it doesn't even use the one it shows, it could be an entire song.. I understand it could be because the sdcard is scanning, but it happens on each rom I've tried.
Third: sometimes when I turn the screen on it will show "xxx has been granted superuser privledges".. is this because it was in deep sleep? My old phone doesn't do this, so I'm not sure if it is an error, but it happens with each app I have running continuously that has root, and across different roms.
Please don't just post I could search for the answer, I have, and I haven't found an answer. The contact one is most annoying, the ringtone one can be if i forget to set it after I reboot, and the super user one I'm just curious about..
Thanks in advance.

1. Depending on what ROM or what contacts app you're using, you should be able to choose what kind of contacts are shown in the app. I'm using BulletProof, so in the "People" app, I can choose to see only Google contacts by selecting the menu button soft key on the phone > View > Google contacts checked.
2. I've never had this problem, but in any case, I use an app called Ringtone Maker (link here) to trim and cut songs to use as my ring tone. I also use the app to set the trimmings as my ringtone, and it has never reset on me on any reboot. There are probably other solutions to this, but this is the way I set my ringtones and it's worked so far
3. The superuser privilege means that the application has been granted root access, which means that it can control certain parts of your phone that otherwise wouldn't be allowed if your phone was stock. In short, it means that the application is able to make changes and access system information on your phone because the ROM you installed comes with root. This is normal if you're using apps that require root.

1. Okay, I don't know if I have fully explored the VIEW part of the contacts, I didn't enable everything before because it had it showing as 2700+ contacts(thanks G+), but I just experimented with it a bit and it appears to be working right. Thanks.
2. Most of my ringtones and notifications were properly created or downloaded from the net, the problem is that on reboot it will go to the first on the list, while selecting a random song or ringtone from the internal SD. I am thinking that the ringtone/notification I choose must be on the external, so when it scans when the phone starts up, it chooses something available. I'm gonna see if I can move whatever ringtones/notifications I use to the internal sd fixes the problem.
3. I understand how root works, I was only asking because my old phone would only give that popup the first time it boots- on this phone when I turn the screen on sometimes, it will pop up that it gave superuser permissions as if the app didn't have it. I was more or less just wondering if this was a problem with the way the phone sleeps, or the superuser app, or something, only because I would never see that notification after the first boot with my old phone.
Really, the main annoyance was with adding a contact and not seeing it. Luckily I could select "my contacts"(using your advice) and not see the 2700 it says I have.. so that problem is pretty much solved, which I thank you for
For #2, use a file manager and move your ringtones to /system/media/ringtones (you may have to create the ringtones folder of it's not there). I have had this problem across a few different ROMs and that was the only way to fix it.
For #2:
Did you happened to checked "Backup my Setting" and "Automatic Restore" in Setting/Privacy?
I have the same problem before because Google automatically restored data from other Rom and they are conflicting ...
Try un-check the Automatic Restore and see if it is repeating

This seems to have fixed it Seems like having it in the /media/ringtone folder, when it would rescan on boot, the system would grab some other random sound.. but putting it in the system/media/ringtone and problem is gone. Thanks
Hi
I seem to have lost the email client on my (wifes) S3!
It hasn't been used for awhile. so no idea when or where it has gone.
(I did, when new, reinstall stock OS to debrand phone)...
anyway, I don't like k9 (too ugly and poor gui),
could someone please point me in the direction of a replacement email app please...
preferably stock (as it'll have to do for now).
Thank you
Only 3 possibilities that it can disappear:
1. It is hidden inside touchwiz. You can click Show hidden Apps in app drawer.
2. Disabled using Settings --> Apps --> All --> Email --> Disable. You may have to enable it from there.
3. Deleted purposely from system/app using root explorer which may not be the case here
Thanks was disabled...
(curiously: how would that be possible, that is got disabled, without manually doing it ourselves?)

i just bought a new s3 for my wife, but it didnt came with the email app, it just didnt appear on the app list, any ideas why this happends and how i can install this app, i use a pop3 mail and k-9 dont recognize it.
I've tried to sideload the Voice Dialer app. It asks if I want to replace the system app. I click yes and it loads and I can open it and use it, but when I look for it later in the apps list, it's not there. It shows up in the apps listing under the settings page, and even on titanium backup pro, but its not visible anywhere else. I'm sure there are a few more apps like that as well that aren't visible, but would like to make them visible.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.
I am rooted using the fakecid procedure.

Try HiddenApp in the market. It's not perfect, but you can create shortcuts on your launcher for hidden apps. Works for non-rooted, too.

I was just wondering if installing settings from another 4.2.2 device would work at all. As a suspected it was possible. You can edit account settings, Wi-Fi settings, uninstall or see running apps, etc. Not everything works but most missing things from Amazon settings are working.
I tried with this one: sourceforge.net/p/sreborn/code-0/53/tree/system/app/Settings.apk
Just install like any normal app and add shortcut to desktop for easier access.
Hope it helps someone.
Edit: I just realized it works like overwriting Amazon settings. When installed breaks shortcuts bar functionality, but when Kindle is restarted it gets automatically removed and Amazon settings are restored. Still can be a nice workaround for editing settings, dive you can install, add, edit or remove accounts, and restart to have everything working like normal.

Although it still can access language & Keyboard, it do add some new functions that the amazon Settings wont be able to fulfill.
Can anyone make it to co-exist with the amazon setttings? I know it's possible for Fire TV.

Unfortunately this does not work with the new fireos 4. Can't install the apk :-|
So, my emails arrive late, the stock messaging app doesn't show new texts unless you scroll down when you open it (!!!), replacement sms apps have been wonky as well,... In general things just aren't updating correctly. I've made sure to go through the power management menus to allow apps to do what they need to but no go.
Anyone else had this problem? The battery life, size, and tethering capabilities are nice, but I just put my sim back in the Note 2 as those problems are making using this too unreliable.
Same problem here
I also have this problem, and I believe several people mentioned this in different places, so following is what I have done so far, not sure if this help your case, I am still monitor my phone since I just change my settings a few days back.
Standard steps includes:
("the app" below mean the application you have problem receive notification)
1. Set the app as protected in the Battery Saving settings.
2. Allow the app run in background.
3. In Wifi advanced settings, set to "always" during sleep.
4. Set power saving mode from "Smart" to "normal" .
I still have problem after all above steps, so I have make following attempt:
1) Disabled/Freeze "Phone Manager" system app.
2) Another app is "Power Genie", this app still run even I freeze it. So I have to use Root Explorer to rename them
under /system/app, rename HwPowerGenieEngine3.apk to HwPowerGenieEngine3.apkk, and rename HwPowerGenieEngine3.odex to HwPowerGenieEngine3.odexx
then reboot to recovery, clear cache, and dalvik cache, then reboot.
Again I am still testing this... HTH.
Just want to write a update, I think this resolved app got killed issue in my phone.
I think I found what was messing with my texts. I had mysms installed to backup and send texts to my N7. There's no way to select the stock app as the default messaging app. I ended up deleting mysms and only downloading it when I switch the sim into my Note 2.
The bigger problem is with Spotify. Even with it saved as a protected app it turns off about two minutes after the screen turns off, rendering the app almost useless. Wtf??
Mine works idk. it has to be a setting. hmm. you sure you have wifi on when screen is off. it is it's own setting on this phone
My notifications seem to quit working at times and I notice when using root explorer that my ext SD isn't showing
I wonder why my phone is working with notification (I even have ac display working to turn the screen on for 10 seconds when receiving a text message or email from work) I also use Spotify every day since I'm a premium member. No issues at all. I'm even able to change the volume and skip track and play and pause from my LG Tones

make sure Spotify is set to run in background not just a protected app otherwise when you shut your phone off it will end the app. that might be your problem.

it works in my phone. But you know, some mate2 owners don't have this issue at all.
May be an issue with APN settings. What I had when I first got the phone and what my settings are now seem much better especially when breaking up data and MMS into two different it independent panes. Once set to fast.t-Mobile.com and APN type default,supl,hipri the second selectable APN labeled for MMS as APN type and everything else identical and all hand offs via WiFi or mobile data are seamless. I was having various network issues prior to changes made to build.prop and default APN and once phone went to sleep it would not get alerts or transition to active/awake very well.

Yup yup, same here. I'm using Nova Launcher + TeslaUnread Plugin. Also stopped using my previous favorite 3rd party SMS replacement, Chomp, and now I'm back on stock SMS. The plugin seems very stable to me, I get a little number bubble on my SMS app on the homescreen, even if the notification doesn't come through on the status bar. Not exactly a fix, but it's been a decent workaround for me.

I was able to get my phone to connect with my surge hr Fitbit. Just wasn't reading directions correctly. The Surge hr is a nice product, now if I could only squeak out more time between charges. Roughly 3 days is the most I get between charges. I turn off the notifications when not needed.
I haven't posted in a while, but I've run into a problem.
I recently got the Aplus GV18 smartwatch. The watch requires an app called BTNotification to be on my phone; the app pushes notifications from my phone to the watch. However, if I leave the phone for any length of time then the app turns off and I don't get notifications.
I downloaded the app on another phone of mine and it stayed connected overnight. So it isn't the watch. I've tried just about everything I've found. I have:
-Changed the battery mode to "Normal"
-Disabled "Phone Manager" and the "Power genie" thing
-Fiddled with the # of background processes in the Dev options
-Changed the WIFI to stay on even with the screen off
-Other things in various threads
Any ideas??
