Hi,
is there a pissibility to install TouchWiz launcher on Lineage 14.1 SGS2 ?
I ask, because i have many problems and missing features on LA 14.1, and i think this might be a problem of the Trebuchet launcher.
1. Missing Samsung Driving Mode
2. USB-PC connection is always at "charging" (doesn't stay at MTP)
3. GPS doesn't show the status, if it is on or off, or searching for a singnal (it only shows up when requested by an app)
4. Menue Button shows launcher settings instead of System settings
5. Changing / swiping home sites stops at the first and the last site. (no endless search-change in one direction possible)
6. there is no "nerby" connection possible. DNLA, Chromecast, NAS, and BT doesn't appear in the OS native media players. (like it was in OS 4.12)
7. The OS integrated screensharing doesn't work. It just connects for a second to the chromecast device and then it closes.
8. Email attachements (e.g. WAV) doesn't open. Error message: "no app installed to open" And there is no choice to choose an app manually. But i have many apps installed that can play WAVE.
I think this is related to the Trebuchet launcher?
Is there another launcher possible that fixed all these issues?
Tasker command Problems (E-Robot):
9. Can't unlock display via Tasker
10. Some events doesn't work, e.g. "App started / App opened / App get in focus / App closed" etc.
Other:
11. When i try to overwrite some app-setting files in root directory, the app says "no such file", or "permission denied". But the file has the same permissions as the orig file before.
(in one of 50 trials the files where accepted without an error message, but i don't kow why, or what i done right)
12. When I insert the SD card from the phone to the PC, the Win-PC says the SD card is locked. But it isn't! So I must do error-check and correction every time, or sometimes new-format the SD card.
13. Is it possible somehow to change/rename the automatic code names of the internal storage and external Sd card? "4B95-09FD" and "410E-190C" is so ugly, and i can never remind which is what. Why are the developers doing such ugly ****???
14. Since i have installed and deinstalled the "iPlay Music" app (3 Days ago) the playstore always opens itself one time each hour and prompts me to install the player. How can i stopp the playstore to bother me with this installation prompt?
15. When the screen is waked up (e.g. by a call, or message) it keeps awake and does not lock again, sometimes.
16. The soft key bottons in display-off mode are always shining or blinking. Why??
Are there any solutions to any of these issues?
Maybe a Nougat Rom with touchwiz?
My old 4.12 stock rom was really more easy to handle. I miss it :crying:

Hi,
I have found a weird problem on my toshiba folio 100
I'm using the toshiba rom (latest version, no mods) and i did install/uninstall quite some apps.
At a certain time, I tried reinstalling an app. It installed, but failed to run. As i'm also developing a bit, i checked the behaviour of adb logcat. Here I saw that the uid that tha app gets was not the one that was requested (I leave the details). I temporary rooted the device with psneuter to see what was going on, and I have noticed the following:
- at uninstall time, the app storage folder in /data/data is not removed
- The storage size in "manage applications" is almost always around 10 Kb, altough several apps have 10mb of data in there
- because the folder is not removed (logcat "couldnt remove /data/data/appname"), it is reused after reinstalling an app. If the userid is already used by another app, it will get a new uid, but fail to access its internal storage. The new uid has no access to the old folder which has still permisions on the old uid.
This is not happening in the 2.2 rom of the dev emulator (This one cleans correctly).
Is there anyone else with this issue? Is it a folio bug or did I do something (or an app) to cause this?
Just to check:
Is there anyone that has an application under "Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> <App>" - Storage - Data that report more than 20Kb? (e.g. a mail app that has enough data). This with recent stock rom.
I have the impression that some library call is missing or not working (but again, I don't know the cause).
I also see a lot of messages in the adb logcat reporting unknown permissions, mostly related to "vending"... (android market is not on the tablet...)
Moto E LTE stuck in "just a sec" screen of "SetupWizardTestActivity"
Moto E LTE stuck in "just a sec" screen of "SetupWizardTestActivity" :crying:
1) Any suggestion on how to cancel/escape this "first time init" application so that i can reach the settings and give the required permission to this app.
2) If above not possible then any other suggestion to get back phone in working condition without factory reset/wipe from recovery.
*Apps are still working in background , i am getting notification sound and pushbullet notification on desktop
*tried the cache cleaning from recovery. it took quite some time but after reboot also the stuck in same situation
*Completely stock phone. bootloader unlock and root not done. since bootloader unlock wipes the device i do not want to do it at the moment.
*I have installed moto usb drivers and SDK to execute adb but phone is not visible with 'adb devices' command.
* apps are excuting in background since i am getting pushbullet update of phone notifications on desktop browser but the first time setup app has captured the screen and does not alow any other activity from touchscreen.
* for some reason the Paytm app also runs at startup and runs on top of "SetupWizardTestActivity" app but only thing i can do is back soft button till it exits. cant open notification
Context and back story
I triggered the "home button not working, empty notification" of lollipop/marshmallow as detailed in the following post on my Moto E 2015 LTE surnia by trying to manage space by using the migrate data option in storage. it tried to perform migrate in opposite direction i.e. from sdcard to internal and ran out of space mid operation probably.

After this the behavior was as specified in above issue posting. home button not working (i could reach home screen by using back key till all open application as closed.), empty notification drawer, not able to reach the quick shortcuts in notification area etc.
So I tried thought some space issue
A) so i installed a few apps and cleared data of chrome, play books etc. to free up 500mb.
still same home button issue
B) then i thought it is some notification permission issue and checked various options in notification option in setting.
still no change
C) then i thought some other permission issue. So in the apps option in setting i reset the apps permission to factory. (dont remember exact menu option but it was in the 3 dots option on top right in apps setting). it gave a warning that all permissions will be reset to factory for apps
after this all apps lost all permissions and everything was asking permission when app was started. e.g. data manager app wanted permission to access data, sms app wanted sms access and so on.
**This will be one main reason for my issue at the end.**
After that I searched the issue and found above link.
so i tried the guest user login and cancel from that and the notification drawer got recovered. it was showing app notifications for whatsapp, SMS etc.
but home soft button was still *not* working
Since i haven't done any bootloader unlock and root operation on this phone i was not confident of the adb command success since it mentioned in one post that it required 'su'
So i tried Nova launcher workaround to invoke 'SetupWizardTestActivity' and it did execute asking me for
Now the initial factory inti app is running and stuck in following loop
language->sim select-> wifi login-> \
/-----------------------------------|
->privacy option->|software update check->-\
|------------------------------------------|
|-> account added -> "just a sec" ---------^
it hangs and crashes at the saving "just a sec" screen and goes back to "Account added" screen
This is due to the permission issue i created in step "C" of permission reset explained above.

Please if someone can help with ideas and suggestions to kill the fitst time installation app. :fingers-crossed:
NOTE. im new to Moto E but have been playing around with my older phones samsung s2, lg g2 and changing roms and trying out various options like CM, AOKP res remix etc.
any ideas on how to unset the flag that causes this first time installation screen to run at bootup
so apparently the bootloader unlock requires us to have a "" toggle set from devleoper option.
but we dont have a phone booting into a state that allows this toggle to be selected then we cant unlock bootloader as well.
fastboot oem unlock XXXX
...
(bootloader) Check 'Allow OEM Unlock' in Developer Options.
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 0.011s
as explained in http://www.droid-life.com/2014/11/0...nable-oem-unlock-option-in-developer-options/
and http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-9/help/warning-locking-bootloader-disabling-t2951312
So if someone has an idea on how to cancel the flag i somehow enabled by executing 'SetupWizardTestActivity' from nova launcher wizard.
The wizard cant complete because it doesn't have permission and i cant give permission as it is not allowing me to enter into the phone setting.
Did you ever find a way aroudn this issue? I've just run into it too..
I installed 36.0.A.2.109 yesterday (OTA update) and now something weird happened to my phone.
First I got a notification, “Corrupted SanDisk SD card”. That happened immediately after the phone rebooted following the update. It offered me the option “Erase & Format” and that seems to have fixed the problem. Fortunately I had nothing of value on that SD card otherwise I would have been pissed.
But that’s only half of the problem. When I plugged the phone into my Windows laptop, I can’t see most of my data in internal storage. For instance, I can’t see the folders DCIM, Documents, Downloads, etc. But on the phone using the File Manager app I can see those folders just fine. And in the Pictures folder I can see only 5 subfolders on my computer. But on the phone using the QuickPic app or File Manager app I can see 19 subfolders with hundreds of pictures in them.
What’s going on here?
(The phone is not rooted for what it’s worth.)
OK, got it to work. This is what I did:
Settings - Apps - All Apps - Show System Apps (from menu), find Media Storage app, clear data. Reboot.
Install media.Re.Scan app, do media scan.
I have a similar encryption bug too. I am experiencing a bug with my Xperia XA ultra. One week after the previous update, I decided changing my phone's screen lock security from pattern to swipe. It worked fine, but when switching again for swipe to pattern the system crashed. I have factory reset it twice. I have performed two system repairs using the Xperia companion and I have also flashed the firmware using the flashtool and every time that I go to settings - screen lock and security - and if I select pattern, pin or password, my phone crashes and I cannot unlock it.
In the meantime, I am just using swipe and it works flawlessly. Any idea why?
(I have also tried clearing the security certificates)
I guess that the firmware was corrupted
the vibration stopped right after the OTA update , didn't work even after resting the phone and reinstalling the software from Xperia Companion.
Summary:
So this morning (abiout six hours ago) my beloved S2 running CM12 crashed and could not reliable boot since then, it goes into some kind of weird bootloop.
The issue in detail:
Attempting to boot (long press on power button) will bring up the "Galaxy I9100" as sually and continues with the CM12 bootloader animation. After the typical time required to boot it vibrates slightly as usual, but afterwards the screen dims for about a second and the whole process is repeated.
What I did shortly before the issue:
Google Play wanted to update apps, but I was out of internal memory. So I went to /data/data and searched and deleted all files containing "cache". I've done this about 20-40 times over the last months (I didn't keep count) and never had any issue.
Things I've tried:
It is possible to access the recovery mode, but the options in CM12's recoverey are very limited (unlike TWRP for example). I cleared the cache but it had no effect.
After taking out the battery the "optimizing apps" windows pops up. When it's done, user input (enter sim, unlock pattern, homecreen) is possible, but only for a few seconds. The first time I missed the chance, the second and thired time I immediately restarted into safe mode.
Safe mode works surprisingly well, the first time I used it to let google continue the updates and disabled autostart of Applock and Greenify, the second time I uninstalled both Apps and cleared the dalvic cache (simply by deleting data/dalvic/). Neither attemped solved the issue.
What I'm currently doing:
After booting into safe mode for the 4th time I'm starting to back up all user data. Communication with a PC works only for some time, but reconnecting solves the issue (for now).
So what's next?:
Honestly I've no idea what I'm doing. I've installed CM on 3 devices in the past 4 years, but thats all experience I have. I'm hoping that I'm just missing an important detail and can get around all these problems with a simple fix. If not, I'd try a clean install, but I'd like to avoid that.
So, if you've got ANY IDEA what the issue might be or what to try, I'm open for all suggestions! Chances are that I haven't left the safe mode since posting, so you can also request sceenshots of anything you need. Thanks!

Current screenshots: installed apps, phone info
I'll update this thread with all step that I take, so that a) you know where I am b) I remember everything and c) people with similar problems might benifit:
• The USB connection was kinda fragile, so I copied all data to the micro SD instead
• sdcard0 could be copied without problems
• phone crashed during coping of other files in root. Folder "sys" has been copied (at least partionally) before crash
• reboot normal, but always with message "Trebuchet was closed"
• seems to work fine now
• exit plane mode (I've enabled it before to charge quicker and reduce heat) and display turns black
• medium long press on power button brings up restart menu, nothing else can be done (checked: double click home button for camera, long click for recent apps)
• turn on airplane mode again and restart and its just fine again
• tried out a different sim card, same issue.
Based on all this, I'd say the issue is a third party app acting (badly) on the ppresence of a mobile connection. Weird. Will investigate the issue further tomorrow, or - more likely - flash the new lineageOS version. I'll report back when I know more.
After making a backup of ALL files I followed the pinned tutorial to install linageOS. Everything - including mobile connection - seems to work fine now! Thanks @djibe89 for such an amazing easy-to-follow tutorial

At around 23:00 last night, after installing a bunch of updates from Google Play onto my (Previously Unrooted) Samsung SM-G360F (Android Lollipop), all of my Google apps stopped connecting. Youtube, Gmail, Play, Maps, all cant connect. 'Cant Connect To The Server', 'No Internet Connection', 'Sync Error'. I tried to do some fixes and then got fed up. These are the steps I have taken to try and fix this problem:
1. Search online (Scarce and unhelpful)
2. Default accounts to factory (No Fix)
3. Remove accounts from device (No Fix)
4. Wipe app cache and data (No Fix)
5. Change Gmail/Google account settings\allow access\2-step verification\ect (No Fix)
6. NFC Sign-In (No Fix)
7. Use data instead of wifi (Connected one account, wont sync anything, NO FIX)
8. Delete "Hosts" File (No Fix)
9. Factory Reset/Wipe local cache (No Fix)
10. System Update (Crashes Device? Battery removal required)
11. Root Phone and use Thrid-Party software (No Fix)
12. System update after unrooting (Download fails at start)
13. Changed DNS settings (No Fix)
14. Changed Home WiFi settings\Updated Drivers\Updated Router\Reset BTHub\Reset BTHome Settings\Changed Ethernet Sockets (No Fix)
15. Modded Google Services with Third-Party Software (No Fix)
16. Install Custom Kernel (Temporary Fix, see 6. )
17. Reinstall Original Kernel (No Fix)
18. Call support (Useless)
19. Install an app on the device from google play via Desktop. (Weird reaction. Tried to download app, phone notified it couldn't be installed [ERROR CODE 920]. Desktop site now shows the app is already installed and keeps making me sign in again. Same result for each app tested. (No Fix)
20. Unmount external storage (No Fix)
Pretty much given up now. Online support for this issue is useless, but apparrently a lot of people had this issue in the past. I can't afford a new phone and this is just another stupid bug in a long running string of glitchy crap I've had to put up with using these goddamn Android phones. Android has gotten so s**t since Jellybean, and before KitKat I never even had problems like this to fix. It's almost enough to drive me to get an iPhone.
Help?
