[Q] DEV's HELP Turn Button Backlights off after 3 seconds

This is in the wrong section, but to be fair, I don't believe the OP is demanding anything.

This is obviously a question because of the [Q] in the thread title, but somehow you decide it shouldn't be in the Q&A forum, but the development forum...

Phone reseting AROMA

Hey guys I have the current Android Revolution HD 30.4. However since I upgraded to 30.1 the phone has crashed every time after I get a phone call. When I did install it I did the wipe that was included with the ROM. I have the Samsung S3 International version. I do have the stock kernel and everything on it is stock except for the Android Revolution HD.
I get a call talk, then when I hang up it just crashes and restarts. When it restarts it is very slow. So I restart again and it seems to work fine.
I also noticed that my background is also having an error. The top smaller portion 1/6th or so fades to black at the top. The top notification bar is fine but under it it fades from black to grey to my background. I can fix this temporarily by resetting my background photo. This error doesn't happen on the lock screen, just the background.
Any help would be great. Thank you. I cannot post in the Android Revolution HD forum so I hope this is the right spot.
Thank you for posting in the Q&A section at least. The back ground fading from top bottom is a known issue/feature. We don't know yet. As for your calling and crashing issue. I don't know what could be causing that. It happens on every received call? All calls?

Yes it seems to be all calls. I have had 3 people call me and each time it crashed.
Thanks for reply. I looked a bit for the fading but couldn't find much. I just kept finding all black backgrounds.

Only Q&A I found for it was for http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1213158
Should I post in that thread even if the device is different?
All searches just pointed me back there or to download the rom.
In the android revolution main posts didn't see any Q&A links for questions either.
If you know it could you link it to me? I must be blind or searching wrong.

[Q] Transparant statusbar - Custom CM10.1

Hello forums,
First post, and wow you guys sure hate unnecessary post. Anyhow here is my problem;
I'm currently using this ROM which praises itself of being a 'heavily moded CM10.1'. I really do love this ROM but I'm having problem with the various transparant toolbar mods. Most of these give me a startup loop or make my SystemUI crash, which isn't really weird since they are written for other binaries.
While I would prefer to ask this question in the developer's thread, I can't. So I'm asking you guys if someone had any experiences with this?
I tried building my own mod from this thread, but that isn't working out.
Hope someone can help me.

Well, after a good night of pulling my hair out of my scull I actually made the custom thing work.
If you have the same ROM, and want this this shoot me a PM. Now I'm going to try to close this.

I think that you can find your firmware on sammobile and flash it on Odin . but i dont think that flashing another modem will unlock your device , that can even cause damage to your device . Dont try to flash zip from another model in any situation

You don't need to downgrade your rom. You can flas a modem even if you don't have root. If you have a custom recovery than just flash the modem.

Better off to say Touchwiz sucks as opposed to 4.1.2 sucks. There are 2 developers that still work 4.1.2 and your going to come off real ungrateful for their efforts. There is not a thing wrong with their ROMs. You just have to know how to fine tune them to your needs. Don't bash them if you can't do it. Just don't run them.
Its not the ROM that bricked your phone

what are you talking about.. at which point in my post did i say anything about the developers and what they do? you should really stop posting things unless your going to help. it seems in every thread i make or post a reply your right there with something to say that doesn't help and your in most of the thread I have read with no help other than to say read and look at the super everything thread. Those arent answers when people are asking questions. If anyone takes the time and reads everything than they wont have to ask questions but that isnt going to happen and thats why forums are created, to help and support and I know i've said this before to you on one of my posts. He asked about downgrading and i said that 4.1.2 sucks. Did i say that the developers or the after market roms suck? No I didn't. I've used several different roms and all the after market roms run much smoother that stock.

Dude, you need to seriously take chill pill. I was quoting you, 4.1.2. Sucks.
I have done nothing but try and help you, including coaching you on your ediquite here. With your clueless way of being vague, you are bad mouthing developers. We are trying to keep them here.
I wasn't the one who recently posted about running a Note 2 ROM on our device. No wonder you bricked yours.
Look at my post count, look at yours.
Look at my thanks count, look at yours.
You are everywhere posting about same issues, multiple times and in multiple threads. Issues that only you seem to have.
I have even PM'd you and tried to help, but you only read what you want to read and question more experienced members who have solid practices. Don't want my help fine, don't post without researching your personel issues. You won't believe anybody anyway.
Good luck..........geeeeezzzzz.
Yes I edited this, as I went on a tangent regarding this, but common decency got the better of me. I hope the other one was read though.

Ok. Don`t know about unlocking stuff. Here is a thread where you can find some stock Roms. The first one is 4.0.3.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1647756
Just flash the J2 modem and follow the steps.
I had to replace my main board, so I took the ota update, then rooted, then realized I didn't unlock. So I flashed the J2 modem, unlocked, and kept that modem. It didn't do any better than the new modem that came with the update.
This thread turned pretty nasty for such a basic question.
Yeah it did. I flipped my ignore button to the on position and I'm goooood

I'm no developer so I don't know for sure, but I'm guessing there is not, all that Samsung stuff usually relies pretty heavily on the TouchWiz framework, and it's been my experience that it's very difficult getting things running right.
Anyone else?

Go to the S5 international forum and download a stock rom. Unzip and navigate to system/app or it may just be in the app folder. Throw it on your phone and try it yourself.

Being pissy? Hell, I gave you the direct answer to the question you asked. I don't know if it would work or not, I was just trying to be helpful. Before you go slamming somebody why don't you read their post history, I don't troll people who ask questions, I try to help or point them in the right direction. I'm sure there are rules for decor for the board but **** the both of you. Next time search the entire forum and figure it out for yourself, douche.

like I said.... pissy. if you don't intend to be one.. you need to change your tone...
Asking me to try something obvious is NOT really being "helpful". I can figure that myself without putting up a post! But I don't know what the effects would be (boot loop?, bricked phone?)... and I don't intend to find out the hard way.. I'm looking to see if someone has already tried it and know if works directly, or with certain tweaks... NOT looking for someone to tell me "hey why don't YOU try and find out".
So yes.. if you don't have anything constructive to offer..save yourself the trouble of posting nonsensical "advice".

You're hilarious. So you just want people to spoon feed you the answer and heaven forbid you try solving the problem yourself. I guess this is your personal help desk seeing how you don't want to try to help yourself and maybe learn something along the way. See how far that gets you around here. Bootloop? bricked phone? from installing a third party keyboard? And I'm nonsensical? The funny thing is I was trying to help you out since I tried the exact "non-sensical" advice to install the aosp mail, sms, and calendar apps from another rom. Keep telling people their being pissy when they respond to your questions hot shot, you'll be real popular. No need to reply either, you've made it clear that anything other than a tried and true, step by step guide, with all assurances of safety is unacceptable, and unfortunately I don't have baby's bottle.

This is a Q&A forum. People are allowed to post their questions without having to worry about people like you who say "this is no damn help desk" so if you feel that way about people who ask questions no matter how silly they might appear to you, then DON'T BOTHER REPLYING! I don't need a baby bottle. You seemed pissy and condescending with your replies. There are several ways you could have suggested it in a better way and I would have even followed your advice. But your tone seemed like you were asking me to do something that was bound to fail.
So no. The problem is with you. Anyways... Moving on.
I did do my research about this. Don't assume that I'm posting without doing my homework.
There is only one posting somewhere where a guy pulled the gs5 keyboard apk and made it into a flashable zip for note. And I did try that and it messed up my phone.
So yes. I know why I'm taking about.
Again. If you are meaning to help then be nicer with your tone.
Thanks for ruining my thread!

I did love the S5 keyboard too. and I realize this isn't an answer to your question, but the SwiftKey Beta comes pretty darn close to satisfying what you might be missing. you should check it out.

WTF bro? All I said was for him not to do what you said as it would be a complete waste of his time because it will not work...Take a flipp'n chill pill already.
Guys, please.. This isn't youtube. Lets try to be constructive instead of destructive. With that being said, back to the topic at hand...As someone that has worked extensively with samsung devices, i'm 99% sure it won't work as a previous commentor said, most if not all samsung specific apps require TW to run them. My guess is to start playing around with some of the diff key boards apps in the market . I'm sure if the S5 keyboard hasn't been replicated yet, it soon will be.
If you are to attempt to pull the apk from the stock S5 rom or if you happen to find it online, don't worry about trying it out. It'll either work or it won't
