What's the point of rooting an active if you can't do anything with it. Now you can't even get the new at&t update. Someone explain what the reason is please besides the thrill of pointless tinkering.

I do lots of stuff with my rooted S4A. Wanam Xposed, Pie Controls, frozen ATT bloat and Avast Firewall to name a few things. It even text messages and makes phone calls!
New update=yawn. 4.3 isn't a big deal (unless you want a Gear).

It depends on what you're trying to accomplish. I personally have root so I can fully utilize Titanium Backup to backup my entire phone, block ads, use Folder Mount to force files to be saved to my external SD card, install Cerberus as a system app to utilize more of its features, and install Xposed Framework and Xposed Modules to endlessly customize my phone and add additional functionality to it. It's up to you whether or not you think rooting is worth it. With that said you can always update to the official AT&T 4.3 firmware using the Odin files found in this thread.

Good points for your purposes granted. But I loved to change roms on my gs2 until I found cm, then I stuck with that one as my fav. I'm just frustrated that it is not that easy or even possible anymore, at least with this phone that I like and plan on keeping for a while.

Hey Devo, you run xposed framework on the stock rom with no issues? I had some problems with it on my sgh-i537 and some of the modules wouldn't work at all. If I tried to install the hypderive device tools(shutdown) menu, when I use the shutdown button my phone locks up and just shuts off, no menu ever appears. I really like alot of the hyperdrive functions, I'd love to be able to add the hyperdrive tweaks too, but never had any luck there either.

As concern me I will sell my s4 active No Roms No updates :'(

Yeah, I run Xposed on my stock ROM. The only issue I ever had was a few days ago when I updated XPrivacy and the phone refused to boot. I had to flash the Xposed disabler with SafeStrap. I run the GPE ROM in slot 1 so I can't speak to the way Hyperdrive works. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Ok, I see. so whatever is in your slots can affect your stock rom as well? I also ran GPE in another slot for a while and I liked it, but with the aroma installer and the hyperdrive tweaks, it really is something I'd like to stick with. I wish I understood more about what is shared and what isn't between roms in slots and the deal with the locked bootloader. We're a long way from Windows Toto, lol. Then again, I do networking, not programming so much.
So, do you run the advanced power menu module on your stock ROM? I really like the HyperDrive version, I think it's called HyperDrive Device Menu or something.
I want to say I installed wanam and xposed from apk files, no flashing. Maybe I need to start there. Thanks again.

I don't think that the Rom slots impact each other unless you are running low on space.
I don't have am advanced power menu and I'm not sure what the Hyperdrive one looks like. That said Wanam had a couple of options that extend the power menu that are worth a try.
Everything I've installed has been by directly installing an apk. Except for dark dialer, dark contacts, and call recording.

thanks for the info man. I will try the wanam menu and see, think I tried it once, but still had the issue with the button locking up. One thing for sure, installing these other ROM's gives me plenty of ideas of how to change my stock ROM! BTW, I love D.C. saw the FW's at the National Harbor last year, good time. There's an Amtrak that runs direct from here and you can drink on the train!

Hey Devo, how do you un-flash something? I flashed a accuweather transparent widget that doesn't work and I think it might have stopped my air gesture from working, just working back from things I have changed recently and that is one of them.

You need to open up the zip file and look inside the folders to see what files are flashed and where they ate flashed. This will tell you what files were changed our added then you can manually remove them. I would also ask the creator to post a zip that removes the necessary files to return to stock. It should be easy enough.

Quite a few apps don't work without root access. Plus it is necessary to be able to use tethering without a separate plan. Battery doctor, quickboot, app quarantine, and titanium backup are just a few on mine.

HTC Bloatware Removal

Hello. I just rooted my phone and I tried to uninstall HTC bloatware and virgin mobile bloatware. But every time my phone restarts the apps return. I heard of this happing with HTC phones. I'd like to remove it as this phone has very low storage as it is. I know there is a way but I'm unsure of how. Any help is appreciated.

I am having the same issue. Virgin mobile bloatware returns after a reboot. I am thinking about making a backup and manually deleting the apk files. Has anyone dealt with such an issue before? If so, please offer us some advice. Thank you.

I am having the same problem with the Sprint version too. I have gone in with solid explorer and deleted the apk and the ODEX file that's with it and I get the same thing. They return....

The phones need S-OFF or a Custom Rom. I would follow one of those threads for a solution (eventually).

Wow.. Lol. Never had this problem before

The Cricket version of the WP removed kernel from shinru2004 worked like a charm. All my crap apps and then some are long gone baby. Try it again, or better yet get in touch with OP of your kernel @CurbThePain and ask.

Flash rbheomax's kernel (I believe both camera's work in V1), or pattyboi's kernel (both cameras work), and use Titanium Backup to remove the apps/bloatware. They shouldn't come back after that but if they do, you can always go into Play Store > Settings > Auto-update Apps and set it to Do not auto-update apps and they will quit re-installing. If you're using Flashify to flash the boot image then make sure you reboot the phone before attempting to remove the apps; if you're using TWRP to flash then you don't have to worry about that.

Has anyone else tried this kernel and can verify there are no issues? I seen HTC has a new update for my phone and wonder how that would work:
Software uptate: 1.49.652.3
This update contains important enhancements and bug fixes, including:
ALERT: Patch for critical security vulnerability ('Stagefright')
- Device Stability improvements, bug fixes
- New and or enhanced features
- Further improvements to performance
Right now, my version is 1.48.652.2

I did a backup, then installed the RUU, let their software update install to keep from getting notified about it incessantly, and then put my kernel back with the application backups.

[IMG][XT1096] TotalX | root-tether-busybox-sqlite-xposed-hosts-bootanimation-dialer

***** TotalX *****​
I've built a mofo-flashable system image for the Verizon Moto X 2014 containing root, WiFi tethering, Busybox, SQLite3, Xposed, a symlinked hosts file for adblocking, a custom bootanimation, and the stock Google Dialer that has caller ID and allows you to search for business phone numbers. I also added the stock Google Messenger app. I'm currently working on getting CF.lumen to work, and AirAudio is fully functional with this image. I really didn't do much, most of the hard work was thanks to @JulesJam, @Slack3r, @slogar25, @btdownloads7, and @mikeoswego. Shout out to all of them for their hard work.
Download here:
TotalX-1.3.rar
TotalX-1.2.rar
TotalX-1.1.rar (do not recommend flashing, very buggy and drains battery)
TotalX.rar
Instructions:
Download the Xposed installer if you don't already have it, and install it to your phone but don't do anything with it. Also install AdAway 3.0.
If this is your first time flashing an image with Xposed, go into your file manager and delete /data/dalvik-cache/arm and /data/dalvik-cache/profiles. If you don't already have root, just do this step after flashing and reboot.
Wipe cache prior to flashing:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot erase cache
Next, extract TotalX.rar to your mofo directory, flash the image with mofo, and wipe cache when its done:
Code:
mofo flash TotalX-1.1.img
fastboot erase cache
It might take a while to boot up, but at least you can enjoy the crazy new bootanimation. When it finally boots, open up AdAway and go to preferences, scroll down to "Target hosts file" and select /data/data/hosts. This sets it so that AdAway modifies the hosts file in /data/data, which is where the /system/etc/hosts file is pointing to.
If you'd like extra heavy-hitting adblocking, add XXXXXXXXXX to your hosts sources (EDIT: Don't do this, it screws up MMS). Then hit download and apply on the main screen and reboot once its done.
Install any Xposed modules you want and reboot. And here's a great module you can't get through the Xposed app: Pandora Patcher
That's it! You should be all set after that with no ads and the power of Xposed. If you have any trouble flashing, don't be afraid to post here and I'll try to help out. And if you'd like to buy me a beer, feel free to shoot [email protected] some cash on Google Wallet
Changelog:
Version 1.3:
- AirAudio is now fully functional!
Version 1.2:
- Removed build.prop edits due to HDR bug and battery drain
Version 1.1:
- Switched to @mikeoswego's base to fix busybox due to Xposed installation removing busybox for some reason
- Google Messenger app added
- build.prop edits by @trimax84
- New bootanimation taken from @motomotomotoG's collection (Geometry Dark), if you'd like any of the others from that page let me know and I'll make you an image!
- Fixed bootanimation memory leak using fix by @arter97
Version 1.0:
- Original, based on @btdownloads7's image, added Xposed, hosts symlink, 5.1 bootanimation, and Google Dialer.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Known Bugs:
- Upon flashing, you may experience Google Play Services constantly crashing. Still not sure what causes this. To fix it, uninstall updates for the Google Play Store and Google Play Services, reboot, and then reinstall the update. No more crashing after that.
- If you followed my instructions earlier to add http://adblock.mahakala.is/ to your hosts sources in AdAway, you will most likely be unable to send MMS. To fix this, revert your hosts file and remove this source, then reboot, reapply, and reboot again.
- Version 1.1 was very buggy due to the build.prop edits. The edits create a bug where the camera app crashes when taking pictures in HDR mode. It also seemed to drain battery at a ridiculous pace and created huge slowdowns. I fixed this in later versions and will not be editing the build.prop in future versions.

You are the man. I'm downloading now and will flash as soon as I can. [emoji106]

Install went as expected. I was coming from another version of this img with adaway and xposed and bb, sqlite. I cleared cache before and after install, on boot everything went good, not too long. At first everything was smooth, I was letting it settle before playing with the new dialer, then I started getting mass unresponsive apps, mostly google. I did a reboot and haven't had a repeat of the issue yet. Adaway updates fine, xposed modules load fine, and busybox is good. Google dialer is operational if a little slow feeling to me, oh and the boot animation is gorgeous as well. Great work putting this one together, to all who input.

hmmm.. that sound a little scary might hold off until its confirmed that this was a one off issue. But thanks for the upload!

To be fair it happened to someone else on one of the other threads with a dif image. Seems to be a one off after a reboot. Understand your trepidation though.

It actually just happened to me too. Rebooted and hasn't happened again. But yeah, it also happened to me with one of the previous builds as well, so I think it might just be a one-off problem. Will report if it happens again.

It does that with every new flash. Not sure why, but a reboot fixes that sucker.

Thanks for this! Any chance of getting this image without Xposed?

Is this based off the image that has the HDR fix?

Alternatively you could flash this image and not use Xposed i.e. don't install the APK. Libs are't doing anything important.

Installed! Thanks for the Birthday Present -
As a suggestion you could modify the Build.prop to add a custom Rom Name under settings and custom details etc. That way you can really feel ownership of your changes.
Also if you really wanted you could delete Verizon Apps under the /system/app partition to remove bloatware but I understand that may be a bit tedious and undesirable. Otherwise really good build, worked well - no issues.

Or you could just freeze them with TiBU. If you are not going to be able to use the space for anything else, no sense in deleting them. Also some Verizon customers actually use NFL Mobile, Verizon Navigator, MyVerizon, etc.

I've had the gapps issue as well, basically neutered the phone until I forced a restart. A reboot had fixed it temporarily but it came back again a couple of times. I eventually uninstalled updates for both Play Store (gapps) and Google Play Services and re-downloaded the updates. Have been fine for a while now.
My bluetooth has also been wonky. Used to connect to my car without issue but now I seemingly have to manually connect, or even reboot the phone to get it to connect. Wasn't having these issues on previous images...
Now that I've bltched, I really appreciate the work...and the changes are worth the few headaches! Thanks!

Do you have any interest in adding CF Lumen to your image? When I download it, it has to install a driver and that must be something that is installed on /system b/c it never gets installed. However, I don't know if drivers are something that is too complicated to bake into an image.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2711912
There is an unrooted mode but it doesn't work near as well as the rooted mode. With the rooted mode you can get the whites to be a very nice cool-toned white w/o any yellow/pink tinge.

That's really strange. I've only experience the gapps freaking out once, but this is worrying. I might do some research to try to figure out what the problem could be.

Can anyone confirm that this method does work? Not meaning to sound rude but I thought it would be more complicated than just installing a backup. I would like to say thanks for the time you spent putting this together helping the rest of us 5.0.2 guys out though! ?

I have succeeded to Upgrade to 5.1.1 prerooted from 5.0.2 prerooted.
Step 1: create a backup via TWRP.
Step 2: deleted everything in folder you have just created
Step 3: copy Tigerhoods's file to the folder
Step 4: restore via TWRP
Step 5: wipe data, etc then reboot. Wait about 15 minutes and enjoy Lolipop 5.1.1
Special thanks to Tigerhoods

can I restore only data of my own from twrp after restoring your 5.1.1?

Okay, thanks for the heads up. I will give it a shot now. Thanks Tigerhoods!!!

Thanks!!! This worked flawlessly. Even has SuperSU. Much appreciated.

Root method
Did you root this with kingroot and then switch over to SuperSU, or is there another way to root 5.1.1 with SuperSU?
Also, thanks for the upload.

thnks
flawless victory

Thanks,
After update, will I am able to use other network.

You nailed it! Works great and addons are awesome. Superb work tigerhoods!!!

thnks a lot it works with root too

Thanks very good job I'm from Algeria and it work very well but no advanced calling

MD5 or SHA1?

few things I noticed after recover'd from the file Tiger shared,
1. No Advanced calling (not sure why since I had it on my 5.0.2?)
Here's my work flow:
1. Recovered from TWRP with the file Tiger provided.
2. Wipe Dalvik cache, wipe data.
3. Reboot system.
4. Factory Reset.
5. Activate Advanced calling then Reboot.
Anyone experienced same/similar issue? I might flash back to 4.4.4 and do OTA upgrade to 5.1.1, and kingroot it.
Please advise, and thanks in advance.

Have xposed installed with gravity box and no issues. Loving that 5.1.1 seems to have fixed the lag issues I was having with 5.0.2. Thanks for this.

Please advise, and thanks in advance.

no I'm running a different build I thought that was in there nm. Well im not sure what to do call Verizon have them toggle it.

Hmm, interesting.
It shows enabled under my account if I log in to my verizon, it was working on 5.0.2 with the same way of activating it.
Does any of you in US experiencing same issue?

[ROM] AOSP 8.1.0 for Sailfish

I successfully built 8.1.0 AOSP from source for Pixel (Sailfish).
This is my first ROM and there could be issues I'm not aware of.
Not Working:
Dialer keeps crashing when making or recieving phone calls
Working:
Camera and Flash
Speaker
Fingerprint sensor
LTE
Wi-Fi
Bluetooth
Auto brightness
If you encounter any other issues, please tell me and we can try to resolve them.
Requirements:
Unlocked bootloader
Newest fastboot installed and set up correctly
Stock 8.1.0 should be installed prior to flashing this
This will delete all your data, make backups of everything
Download:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1vQRNRpSYQP2BrlCpzIpQpQNQrmlBYvTb
Installation:
Reboot your phone into bootloader
Open a terminal where the AOSP-sailfish-v1.zip is located
fastboot -w update AOSP-sailfish-v1.zip
I recommend installing F-Droid as gapps for 8.1 aren't available yet.
What I want to figure out now is why the dialer crashes when making calls and also how to make this TWRP flashable.
I also plan to update the ROM every month as new security patches become available, just like on the stock ROM.
If anyone wants to replicate the build, I just used the main 8.1.0 repo and the 8.1.0 driver images:
Code:
repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-8.1.0_r1 --depth=0
https://developers.google.com/android/drivers#sailfishopm1.171019.011
Any testing and help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Great effort! Gonna try and flash it and then possibly help you debug the dialer problem.

I really want to flash this, but I cant be w/o a functional dialer. Can you try disabling the stock dialer and sideloading the dialer from the play store?

There's no Google apps available for 8.1 as far as I know, so no play store. I installed Dialer2 from F-Droid but it seems like third party apps can't replace the actual calling interface that pops up when you make or receive a call.
And I wouldn't install this on a device that you plan on relying on just yet. Wait a few days until the issues are fixed. As far as I can tell from my use these past couple hours, the only major issue is the dialer.

try https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-phone/google-phone-14-0-176716531-release/ ? Sure it's not optimal, but, might get a functional dialer for the time being, until the real issue can be resolved.

It needs bunch of dependencies which cannot be installed this way. Eg Dialer framework
It appears though if this https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-google-dialer-t3557412
works better. You do get few crashes, but only once, the second time you try same thing, it works.

Couple of questions:
1. When you say this will delete all data, do you mean that internal storage will also be wiped?
2. Is it rootable? And if so, any idea whether SuperSU or Magisk is needed?
Thanks.

just wondering, why would I want to use this over stock?

No additional services running, no gapps prerolled in, bare minimum. Think of this as LineageOS 15.
My plans are to run it, install the smallest gapps I can to get gmail and calendar working, install Elemental X and Magisk to hide unlocked bootloader.
Fast and Lean.

1. Yes this will wipe everything. Back up all files that you want to keep.
2. I've tried SuperSU which fails at patching sepolicy and Magisk which results in a bootloop.

Not sure which version you tested, but https://forum.xda-developers.com/pi...-12-5-2017-t3715120/post74749046#post74749046 talks about what ver seems to work on 8.1 stock.

Ah, thanks for the update. Do you think it'll be okay if I use TWRP to wipe Cache, Data and System, and then install this ROM, but without the "-w" option? The internal storage shouldn't affect the ROM, right?

Yeah should work just fine. Just delete the userdata.img from the zip (there's basically nothing in there anyway)

Any plans of a Marlin release?

I can build and upload it real quick, but I wouldn't be able to test anything.

oh cool . thanks brah

Have you guys tried going to the default apps section and setting Phone as the default dialer? Fixed it for a few other ROMs i've tried that ran AOSP bases for other devices, might be applicable here.
EDIT: No-go, wierd.
