hard reset (press and hold together volume up and down, then briefly press power button) might solve this problem, be prepared to lose everything you've installed, i just hope you have a backup of the programs you've purchased.

Does phone reboot up even with this error or are you stuck in splash screen each time?
If you cannot get past splash screen then it looks like your only option is a hard reset. Unfortunately this will result in everything on your phone being lost including contacts, emails etc so hopefully you remembered to backup. Sorry bro
If phone does boot up even with this error then it sounds like you may have an application shortcut in /windows/startup and no application installed. i.e. application is no longer installed but shortcut is still in startup folder. Just delete link in startup folder.
p.s. Do not create duplicate threads in different forums. I've closed duplicate thread in general forum.
If you can get past splash screen and it's the white box with OK button then -
I would check to see if one of the files in windows/startup folder is trying to open it. I think it might be Opera related.
Try pressing on each file in turn until menu comes up then click properties then shortcut tab.
When you find which it is you can edit the shortcut to point to where you want or reinstall the software that has become corrupted in some way.
Hope this helps.
thanks

[Q] How to Disable Automatic Updates

I have a question for some of the experts. Can someone point me in the right direction to disable automatic OTA updates? I am currently using a ROM that is not being supported by the developer and would prefer to stick with it if possible.

No. OTA Updates have to be disabled by the chef of the ROM. In my case the Chef did not disable them and I am wanting to get rid of that damn annoying pop up that says there is an OTA update.
Here's how to fix it with Root Explorer (from the Market).
Open Root Explorer, scroll down to and click on "System". In the upper right corner, click on "Mount R/W". You will see a file called "build.prop", long press on it and select "open in text editor".
Scroll down, you are looking for a line that reads:
"ro.build.fingerprint=verizon_wwe/inc/inc/inc:2.2/FRF91/231334:user/"
The 231334 might be a different number, but whatever it is, you need to change it to 264707, then save and exit, click on "Mount R/O", then reboot the phone. My notification was still up after I rebooted, however after tapping on it and hitting back, it went away. It shouldn't bug you to do the update anymore after that
For reference:

Thanks. This worked well.
In the future, please post your question in the q & a section instead of the development section. Thanks, and welcome to the community.

Scriptable commands to disable CarrierIQ on stock rooted

I have been messing around with getting all (or at least most) of the CarrierIQ services disabled without having to install a NoCIQ mod.
I have made some progress and wanted to share the info in case other people have more to add.
The following commands are what I am using:
Code:
# setprop service.iq.active 0
# pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.service.IQService
# pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.service.receivers.BootCompletedReceiver
# pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.service.ui.DebugSettings
# pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.service.ui.ShowMessage
# pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.client.NativeClient
# pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.stdmetrics.survey.android.QuestionnaireLaunchActivity
# pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.stdmetrics.survey.android.QuestionnaireActivity
They should be easily scriptable to run at startup, but for now I am running them in an SL4A script manually each boot:
Code:
su -c "setprop service.iq.active 0"
su -c "pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.service.IQService"
su -c "pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.service.receivers.BootCompletedReceiver"
su -c "pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.service.ui.DebugSettings"
su -c "pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.service.ui.ShowMessage"
su -c "pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.client.NativeClient"
su -c "pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.stdmetrics.survey.android.QuestionnaireLaunchActivity"
su -c "pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.stdmetrics.survey.android.QuestionnaireActivity"
The setprop will shut down the iqmsd process. After the setprop, the "getprop | grep iq" will show that it is disabled:
[service.iq.active]: [0]
[init.svc.iqmsd]: [stopped]
The other commands will disable most (if not all) of the intents that cause the "android.iqd" process to run. You should be able to verify this with a "ps | grep iq" call.
I just edited my /system/etc/init.goldfish.sh file and added the following lines at the end:
Code:
setprop service.iq.active 0
pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.service.IQService
pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.service.receivers.BootCompletedReceiver
pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.service.ui.DebugSettings
pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.service.ui.ShowMessage
pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.client.NativeClient
pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.stdmetrics.survey.android.QuestionnaireLaunchActivity
pm disable android/com.carrieriq.iqagent.stdmetrics.survey.android.QuestionnaireActivity
Doing this resulted in no ciq at startup. I looked at framework-res.apk's AndroidManifest.xml in the EK02 rom and there don't seem to be any new activity/receiver/service declarations so this _should_ work with EK02 as well.
This is great--thanks for working on this
I don't know what to say other than thanks for the work OP.

I am way out of my league here but could Script Manager be used if you saved it and set it to run on boot or as root? Edit...I should have read a little better. It started back up BEFORE reboot. Damn

It doesn't start back up for me. After you run the commands, verify that "android.iqd" and iqmsd aren't running via a "ps". Otherwise, something else went wrong.
Since making this post I haven't rebooted and the processes are still gone.
Maybe there is another trigger that needs to be disabled.

Stock frame work has "intents" that check for the service, and restart it. Just disabling it will cause some other things not to work sometimes... or has been known to in the past, thats why k0nane has rooted it out in the framework and released his no-CIQ mod

I am on 2.3.4. I didn't run the mod since I was trying to gain more info about disabling it with just root.
I want to also add that ciq has not started back up for me. These commands have been working for me for a while now.

I disabled the activity/service/receivers that respond to these intents, so the intent won't actually do anything. For example, here is an extract of logcat that shows the service not starting:
Code:
D/IQClient(26697): NativeClient init failed: IQ Agent is not running?
Try running all of the commands from a root prompt in adb shell in the order specified to verify they are actually going through.
While this is a cool achievement, an incredible Dev by the name of k0nane has managed to REMOVE CIQ. While this could be useful for a select few, it would be more beneficial to most to simply remove CIQ with his flashable method.
EDIT::: I really don't mean to be a jerk here... I just thought I would point it out.

To elaborate, I wanted to mess around and see what I could find in order to disable CIQ without using a modified jar/apk. There really shouldn't be a reason why we couldn't disable it without resorting to a mod, so I wanted to look into it and see what would be needed.
The only people that would find this useful would be people who don't want to install any modified apk/jar files (unlikely on this forum full of flashaholics), but I also wanted to share the info in case there are phones out there with CIQ and no way to flash a mod. Maybe someone could use this info as a starting point.
Since starting this thread, google's first result when searching for "pm disable IQService" is this thread.

It's more than a "select few" and for us it's not as simple as using the flashable mod. Ever heard of EK02? ANYBODY, I'll say again, ANYBODY that's running the EK02 ROM cannot flash k0nane's mod. Until someone edits it out and releases an updated mod, we're SOL.
Short version: You're very wrong and this could be highly beneficial. If we could get this into a file to put in the init.d folder or make a .sh script that will automatically run every 'x' amount of minutes or seconds (whenever CIQ restarts).

That's what I was thinking. If someone smarter than I can figure out how often it starts up then someone can possibly write a script to counteract it. Thanks to those who know tons more than I do about this

I understand what everyone is saying completely. I just thought it would be beneficial for anyone new to know that this isn't the only method, seeing as how this, being new and recently posted on, shows up at the top of the list. And since CIQ is a hot thing right now, I just wanted to point it out. I mean absolutely no disrespect here, and I can see where this is useful. I just wanted to mention it. I should have been a bit clearer with what I was trying to say. My apologies.
It may be a process that gets restarted remotely as well. Just because it never restarted for you doesn't mean that it can't. I love when singular personal experiences are supposed to represent the universal norm. Why leave something dormant for no reason? I'm still confused by the principle of this thread.

[Q] Troublesome installation of Xposed and GravityBox on Fairphone

Dear internet community,
i would like to adress my problems concerning the installation of Xposed and GravityBox on my Fairphone. You must know that this is my very first smartphone and i dont really know how to use them yet. But i know that i would like to be able to change my Locksreen wallpaper, whích is the only intention for me to try to install Xposed in the first place.
So lets get to the nuts and bolts:
Firstly i tried to "unroot" my phone (of which i dont have any clue what that might mean), but the program i used (universal unroot) gave me this message upon trying: "please allow root access now. If you cant allow root access your device is most likely not rooted". At this point i dont know if i am able to allow root acess to that program, which ist rediculous in itself since this program should allow me to do that in the first place. I checked in the settings but couldnt find anything that looked like root access.
The next step was to install Xposed (version 2.6.1 and then 2.7 both with the same result). After the installation and the reboot, Xposed states unter the "Framework" category that: "the latest version of Xposed is currently not active (my app manager tells me it is). Did you install the framework and reboot?". Again i did the reboot and i installed it. If try to go further into the Framework menu and press the "install/update"-button it tells me: "failed to get root access. make sure your device is rooted properly and you have not blocked shell commands".
My question now is: do you have a solution for my problem? I would be very thankfull and appreciative if you would offer me a solution, since my intentional desire of changing the Lockscreen Wallpaper is such a small thing that it is quite hillaours as to how much effort has to be put in to change this small detail. Please dear community, help me out!
With kind regards
Alex

First of all: I see no point in "unrooting" my device. Since you said, you don't have any clue what that might mean, maybe this helps.
The term "root" is comparable to the "admin rights" on your computer. Some people do not need those rights. But If you don't need it just don't use it. If you "unroot" your device, what you do is, you throw away those admin rights. I don't see why you want to do this. The only reason which comes to my mind, is if you want your manufacture to repair your phone using your warranty. They basically don't like it if your phone is rooted, and say it violates the warranty conditions. But then again: fairphone comes pre-rooted, so having root does not void the warranty of your fairphone.
Usually if a program wants to have those root(/admin) rights, a screen pops up where you have to confirm that the app might use those rights.
If you want to know for what root rights can be good for, just google "rooting android" or something like that to read up on that topic.

Seems like you are actually unrooted. To use xposed and all its cool modules you need to have root rights. Unrooting your phone to use xposed is just contra productive. Maybe install SuperSU to re-gain root rights. But maybe you need to re-flash your OS.

Wait, what? Did I understand correctly, that you unrooted your phone to use an app that requires root so that you can change your lockscreen background?
Dude, you can do this in the settings without any root/unroot/xposed stuff.
As you said it is just a small detail, and such a standard feature, so it would be CRAZY if you need to go through such a hassle.
Just go into settings and somewhere in the display or lockscreen settings you can choose a background (you might need to disable the mood background for this). I do not have my fairphone anymore, so I cannot tell you where exactly that option is. Maybe someone else can point to the the exact location of that setting.

I can't find any option for a different lockscreen image on my FP - only normal background image (wich is then also used for lockscreen, if I have mood background disabled). So I would also suggest GravityBox, which seems to be a too complex topic for your first smartphone ever...

I know that this option is there. I had a custom lockscreen background (without using some xposed module like gravitybox). I will check with a friend who has a Fairphone, and tell you where the setting is.
I am sorry. Apparently I was mistaken. Changing the lockscreen background to a different wallpaper than the homescreen background seems not to be possible. You can just choose between mood background or not. I thought I had two different backgrounds while I had my Fairphone, but seems like I was wrong. sorry
Why is this not implemented? What I know for sure is that is a feature in CM and and Samsungs stock android version. I do not know about AOSP android.
Thanks for your feedback, Hyst!
I second your question about the missing implementation, but that's quite in a row with some other phone's stock features I am missing on the FP - e.g. a more solid gps, special character search in contacts and some other things other phones can do. Then I remember, Fairphone is still quite new on the market and neither has the experience nor the financial background to act like e.g. Samsung would do. And taken that into account, I'm sure they will grow with the requirements...

So atm the only viable solution that i could find is to reflash the Android of my phone. I tried to but the installation progress aborts itself so i am not able to reflash atm. The Fairphone support team got a mail from me, so lets wait and see.

Now in a later post of yours you said that it is not possible. But i qould like to go into why i unrooted my phone. I was watching a Video from this site and misunderstood what has been said. I unrooted my phone, thinking that this would be necessary to make Xposed work. By that time i didnt really know how all of this works. I know its a rookie mistake and a "stupid" one, but i learned something and i am okay with it.
The next task now is to reflash my phone. Maybe you guys have an idea as to why it wont work: I followed the instructions on the Fairphone website and it still aborts during installation.
Edit: I am not allowed to linkt external websites, so i cant give you the video and fairphone installation guide links.

Hope I didn't get it completely wrong but just wanna throw in another idea: why don't you reset your phone to factory settings? Reflashing it sounds like a lot of work for a beginner like you.. (Didn't do it either)
Since the phone is/was rooted from release on, resetting it should do the charme, imo. If you don't have a lot of files to lose I'd try that.
PS: really funny how complicated it got for you since your main intention was to change the lockscreen wallpaper )
PPS: follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Fairphone_Fairphone/Guides#How_to_partition_your_Fairphone from the 4th point on

PS: That, unfortunately, didnt do the trick
Edit2:
Since the Fairphone support hasn't replied yet, i tried another solution, but i need to ask you guys for help. I was following the instructions in the Fairphone wiki under the "How to restore Fairphone if you totally bricked it" topic. All the necessary files and programes are downloaded. Now when i choose the scatter file of the fairphone binarys the program gives me this message: "Error initialising scatter file failed. Please check the name of scatter file which you load is legal". if i press the download button the program gives me this message: "Download list is empty, please select a scatter file before executing"
I really dont get this. The fairphone binarys are supposed to work with this program, yet they are not. Can anyone help? Is there something really pbvious i have overlooked?

I don't think you need to go through that mouch trouble as you're still able to use your phone (if I understood that correctly).
How about re-installing the Fairphone software from recovery? There's a nice guide on how to do that at:
fairphone.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/202478028-Manually-install-Fairphone-OS-software-update-version-Cherry-1-6
Afterwards the superuser binaries should be back and you will have root access again.

Thanks for the hint, but that exact process does not work, since the update aborts itself giving an error message but not specifiying on which error exactly cause it to abort... I am frustrated at this point.

Which Fairphone model do you have? If it's the old one (from last year's batch), did you already use the repartitioning tool to "unify" your internal storage? Which update did you try to apply (exact filename)?

Its the second Batch phone, so the FP1U. I tried it with almost any OS given on the homepage. Those are the ones i tried:
OTA_AOSP-4.2.2_2014-08-05.zip
Fairphone_FP1_OS_v1_6_OTA_2014-07-31.zip
Fairphone_Cherry_1.6_FUSE_Image_2014-07-31.zip
Fairphone_FP1_OS_1G13G_v1_6_OTA_2014-07-31.zip
The Fairphone updater tells me that my phone is running the "Chenpi" version 1.5 which i cannot find on the hompage (thats strange isnt't it?)
What else could be done here?
Greetings and thank you very much for your ideas so far!

Applying that one from recovery clearly should have worked. I've even used it myself with my (already repartitioned) first batch phone.
If you want to be sure the .zip file you downloaded is not corrupted, compute its MD5 checksum. If you're under Windows, use a tool like heise.de/download/md5summer.html
Under Linux, just use md5sum <filename>
The checksum should match the one found on Fairphone's software update page: 664ca09368a4c922a12dc2526afe092b

1.5 is the version your phone was shipped with, I think. As they issued the update to 1.6 just a few days after the new phones started shipping, I guess they thought putting only the new image up on their website was enough.

The awesome support Team worked something out and my phone is finally rerooted! Now, i have installed Xposed, rebooted it, installed Gravitybox, rebooted it and both programs are working fine. After some fiddling around it finally has worked!! For most of you it might seem to be a small thing and really not that important, but for me it is. Honestly the only two things i really use to personalize the phone is the Wallpaper / Lockscreen and the WakeupCall ringtone.
Thank you so much for all of your support and patience!
Greetings
Alex
