How to remove cyanogen? Help!

Hello, yesterday I decided to finally give cyanogenmod a try and went through and installed it successfully. HOWEVER! I'm not quite happy with it and simply want to return back to stock.
Heres the thing...I kinda didnt do a Nandbackup...I know...
How in the world do I get back to factory settings without me losing the ability to root again and be able to receive OTA updates?
Help is highly appreciated. Thanks.

go get yourself a stock but rooted rom out of the dev section and flash that, presumably the same place you got CM.....

I got CM from Rom Manager, where is the dev section to get the rooted stock rom?? Sorry I'm not that familiar with this.

Follow the instructions listed with the post to install and your CM will be gone!
Just curious, what didn't you like about it?

You can get a rooted stock ROM from ROM Manager. Look for joeykrim from the download rom menu. Haven't tried it myself though. Can't vouch for it.

There were a couple things I did not like:
1) the dialer it has a nice layout but you cant search for a contact by typing the letters in their name, you actually have to go through the contacts list
2) ADW Launcher - Nothing againts it, it's nice and all but I'm personally used to Launcher pro. You can change it and disable ADW so it's not too big of a deal
3) The biggest problem I had was the mic, for some reason I was not able to be heard when I made a phone call...I could hear the person but they couldnt hear me I had to restart the phone.
4) Battery killer - Hate to say it but it was murdering my battery..well kind of. I have the Seido 3500 mah but I was at 20% at around 12 hours. Im usually at 40 - 50 range.
Thats about it. some of them arent big deals but the dialer and the mic problem just dont do it for me...I was really looking forward to it, but i guess i'll have to wait until it's a little bit more stable. There are some things I did like, it's definitely much snappier it feels much smoother and with set cpu i got my cpu to 1.3Ghz (awesome!) and I loved the music controls on the lockscreen and the swipe to ignore notification.
Dont get me wrong, it's amazing work and my hat comes off to everyone who has worked extremely hard to make cyanogen (or any rom) to happen. They are definitely talented individuals, but this one just doesnt fit my needs.
Thanks for the information btw, I will go ahead and try it!

Just a little heads up before flashing to another rom. All of those problems you are facing can be fixed by simply installing a few apps and a little tweaking.
1. My solution to the dialer problem: dialer one, this app is more like senses dialer, you can search for a contact my name or number... you will like it.
2. If you are looking for a launcher such as Rosie, then your sol with out a sense rom.. but if ADW launcher was all you didn't like (I personally dislike ADW also) then try out launcher pro.
3./4. These can all be problem from a bad install.. I would flash the rom again. For your battery search for cyanogenmod battery calibration.
Hope this helps!

That's very odd- try resetting your battery statistics, as people generally get about 40-50% better battery life on cyanogen than on sense- on average i get about 28 hours of battery life under normal use.

Since no one else seems to be keen on answering the origional question,

That will put you back to total stock, however, that pc36img.zip might be out of date. The OP is still in that thread, and very helpful though.

Thanks I'm going to give cyanogen another try, I wont delete it just yet. Question though..Is there any way to disable ADW Launcher. I read that you could use root explorer and rename or delete it, but when I try it says I dont have permission (something like that).
Another question is..Is there any way to put widgets on the cyanogen lockscreen? I like using Widgetlocker but I freaking love the music controls on the cyanogen lockscreen. Is it possible to have the best of both worlds?

If your using root explorer you have to change it to R/W. It's the button on the top right.

Facebook inside on CM7?

Is there a way to install the facebook extras that come with stock rom?
Any help with this would be appreciated!
Sent from my LT15i using XDA Premium App

yes i would change quick if i know that CM 7.1 would have the Facebook Inside

please NOT!
stupid facebook crap...
get a life or install it as an app if you really need it.

CM or SE stock, choose, different purposes, people wants timescape, facebook inside and all sony's stuff on the CM, so why flash CM, OMG...

Maybee an idea...
I recently discovered an app called Feep.
You can choose between 3 widgets in different sizes.
One is a 4x4 widget that is fully customizable
Its a really nice way to keep an eye on Facebook.
And... it's free without adds!

As an optional why not?
So lets hope there is some one manage to port it to work with cm7

Calm down, no need to be cocky and ultimately make a smart ass idiot out of yourself (perfect oxymoron for you). This is an open forum with different people having different needs and I see no reason why one cannot ask for some features.... If you don't want to use it means you are not interested in this thread so it doesn't need your insignificant input, I'm sure next time you demonstrate ignorance with arrogance, think twice or your time here will be pretty short....

now you are offending me. it was just my opinion about facecrap...
it must not be inside an operating system of a phone. but as an addon it is ok. but please not inside an os!
it is like ketchup inside vanilla pudding. some may like it but it is nothing for all others.
also i don't understand why facebook controlles so much peoples lifes...

I dont use facebook often the extras with facebook inside are just that they are extras and i thought people may find usefull, they are not available freely so that is why i asked. If you dont find it usefull then perhaps you should look at posts, threads that you do find usefull
I did not ask for it to be included as part of o.s. but as how we could add as an extra.

Battery in status bar

Hi
I am looking for an apo which displays the batt % in the status bar BUT DOES NOT disokay info in the notification bars.
I only want % and nothing when I pull down notifications.
Anything?

there are enough mods in this forum, where you CAN search!!!!!!!

I guess I have been clear enough in my question: I want an app and not a mod, the reason bring that any mod will prevent future OTA upgrades as it happened with the previous mod I had on 4.0.1
Allow me also to say that I registeted en on this forum when you were not yet in your father's testicles so if you do not have positive comments to give pls do not spend my time giving me hints that I already know.

Elixor 2 works
Elixor 2 works - nothing in notifications

If you want to actually have it APART of the notification/status bar that requires root/de-odex. I don't think it'd be possible for an app to do so, at least, without root. Time to root/unlock buddy.

[Q] Any way to Customize/Personalize Notification Area ?

Hi All,
I've been looking for an app/tweak or something to be able to edit the notification area that opens with the "Down Gesture" on the status bar, my biggest thought about this is that there is a lot of space that could be saved/compressed so more useful information can appear within one screen, here you are some thoughts (my device is rooted and is working on stock 2.3.5):
1. Generally, rows heights can be cut to 1/3 at least.
2. Operator name can be removed (of course I know the operator I'm on and I don't need to get reminded everytime I open the notification area ).
3. The white background is really boring, it'd be better to have something that suits the background for example (at least semi-transparent).
I'll be happy to know what you think !
Thank you all.

You can mod statusbar and a whole lot more other UI features using the Ultimate Online Theme Kitchen hope that helps

Thank you indeed for your response, however, this isn't really what I'm looking for (when it's still very nice), but it mods everything individually, for example, I want to delete that header where the operator name is written and shift things up to save space, this isn't doable there (correct me if I'm mistaken)....
Let me know your thoughts !

Have you tried cm7 yet? It provides a greater control of your notification drawer than any of the sense versions.
Notificaiton Widgets
Choice of Large/Small Carrier Provider or your custom text
Change the tray colors using cm7 themes
For sense, I would think that you might need to modify some of the framework directly but I'm not sure as to how to do that.

More explanation to what I'm really thinking of !

Guys...
The issue is starting to turn me crazy on android but I'm still insisting on making it work, I've previously submitted a question with all what I need to make...here you are my previous post with screenshots:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30861738&postcount=5
When I found that there is nothing ready made for what I want, I thought I'd make it myself, I started studying procedures for compiling, adb pushing, editing xml files responsible for the items I need to modify...
I know that removing the "Carrier Name" AND WHOLE BOX WITH THE CLEAR Button depends on Status_bar_expanded.xml (in systemui.apk), I need to know what shall I modify to reach what I want as in the screenshots, I tried zillions of things and got stuck many times in botting and I've been recovering and recovering and recovering the whole day
Soooo....any clues ?

You should not post your questions there.
You can not change the icon size or bar size. They needs some new codes and options which is beyond my reach. U need a good dev. Carrier name can be removed. But it needs lots of research as nothing is written in english in the smali, it sucks. If I can do it I ll tell U. I seen ur that post in the morning. Just didnt know what to say.

Possible New Note II User, couple of questions?

Hi Guys,
Been an HTC guy, all my Android life. Thinking of picking up my first Sammy with the Sprint's version of Note 2. Just had a couple of questions about software and ROMs:
1. Are you guys expecting a Port or Updates from the new S4, coming to the Note 2? If so, when? Or if they've been ported already, can someone point me to the ROM or mods for those?
2. Been familiar with Sense and AOKP/CM10.1 for some time now. Never used TouchWiz. What are most of you driving with here? TouchWiz light and snappy enough with balance of pretty to be used as your Daily Driver, or are you guys AOKP kinda guys here as well? Either way, can you make some ROM recommendations for a new guy? I'd like to experience the Sammy experience, before moving on to AOKP, if possible?
Any other tips you can give me before I switch? I will be switching from an EVO LTE with CarbonROM running on it. Thank you for your time.

It's pretty much a 50/50 when it comes between TouchWiz or AOSP. There is already an s4 system dump.
For Rom recommendations I would suggest if you want TouchWiz stay on stock that's my opinion. And if you want AOSP is suggest CyanogenMod.
PAC rom is good too but for me I love simplicity. So that's why I'm currently on stock right now or CyanogenMod

I was an HTC guy before coming to Sammy. I can say I wasn't all that thrilled with Touchwiz, compared to Sense.
I ended up ditching Touchwiz for Nova Launcher and a couple extra widget paks (HD widgets for clock and Android Pro Widgets for Timeline aka Friendstream and Contact favorites).
I am very happy with this combination.

I was the same at first, but in the long run, I actually Prefer TW to Sense. By miles. Stock TW is (usually, with perhaps a small bit of configuring) faster, and makes more intuitive sense (haha).
AOSP is of course loverly, but TW has a few features w/o totally obscuring Android that I think are ok, even worth it.

Thank you everyone for the response guys!
Just was wondering that I should try out TW for a bit, since I have never used it daily before. The gimmicky features from Sammy on the S4 though... like the Camera app and gestures and eyes thing for scrolling... do you guys think those will be/can be ported to the N2?
Thanks again for everyone's input... getting excited! Just not sure if the N2 will be too much of a phone for me to hold LOL!

Those are coming to our device either this month or next month. And before this device, I as a big time rooter, but I say stay stock, it has everything you could ever need.

I too switched from HTC for 3 years.. And I can say I haven't been happier!!! Tw does take some getting used to after sense, but none the less its every bit as good as sense IMO... If I want a tweaked stock tw ROM, I suggest checking out the lab rats ROM.. Its pretty cartoonish stock, but the updater is chocked full of themes and different apps. Its been an amazing ROM. I used to be a flashaholic til the rats came my way. Not to mention they gotta be the friendliest, goofiest, most entertaining group of devs I've seen yet and as for requests, if its possible its usually pretty quick turnaround and they enjoy all they do probably even more than we do!!! Give it a shot and I can almost bet you will keep coming back to the lab!! Of course this is just my opinion, but there are many more who share it!! As well as, of course, some that don't..

Everyone,
Thank you for your wonderful responses. I just brought home the N2 and it's a MONSTER !!! LOL!
I do want to stay TW for a bit though... so can you guys recommend the most UP TO DATE, and MOST CUSTOMIZEABLE TW ROM with hopefully the LEAST about of bugs and MOST amount of speed? (LOL! I know, talk about Eutopian demands, right !?)
An example of that ^ from the EVO LTE world is Team Venom's ROM...
I will Root though,because I need apps like Titanium Backup to fully set me up on the new device...
Thank you again for all your help! Looking forward to loving the Sammy world !
And oh, for the folks saying that GS4 camera and other features are coming to N2... do you think there will be some features that will NOT work on the N2 for Hardware or Kernel (firmware) issues? Thanks again!

Thanks again for the responses guys. Tried my first few ROMs last night... JellyBomb... LabRats... Nice ROMs, but they are too "modded" and touched for my taste...
What ROM can you recommend that's kinda Stock, debloated, keeps the original spirit of Stock at it's heart, with performance enhancements?
Is Synergy a good one?
Also... what's the later build? M7 or something after that? I am forgetting the name right now ...

What ROM can you recommend that's kinda Stock, debloated, keeps the original spirit of Stock at it's heart, with performance enhancements?
Is Synergy a good one?
Also... what's the later build? M7 or something after that? I am forgetting the name right now ...

Hey sparytrainor,
Thank you for your response. Per your recommendation, I tried the Lab Rats ROM, but found a NUMBER of issues with them:
1. I didn't like the annoying PnB Bootanimation, and tried changing it via their built Customization app, but it just booted into Recovery and did nothing ...
2. The kept prompting an update, annoying
3. Flashlight toggle didn't work
Just seemed way too customized to me, without a whole lot of value for those changes.
I am now trying Stock MC2, Rooted and DeOdexed, but I can't seem to boot in. TWRP says, it needs to fix Root permissions at the end of the flash and in both cases (Fix or Not), the phone reboots and sits at the Samsung GN II screen...? Am I missing some firmware requirements here?
When I get that ROM going, I hope to debloat it with TB, and find ways to tweak it a bit, like find a Battery mod or something maybe...?
Thanks again for everyone reading my thread!

OK, in the updater, go into settings and select reboot type and select the recovery u use. This will fix the reboot and install not working.
Also there are fixes in the updater for all the other issue u mentioned with the ROM other than the flashligt , which I use one from the play store anyway..
Check out the updater website for previews of the mods and themes.

And as for the other issue, mine says it needs to fix root sometimes as well, but I swipe to fix and everything goes fine. If you didn't update to mc2, u may need to. Here's a link for that as well..

Good luck to u.. Happy flashing and enjoy your new favorite phone!!!

Thank you again, friend, that seems to have worked !
Couple of follow up questions:
1. In the LabRats ROM, if your Swipe to Capture function working?
2. Is there a "safe list" available for the apps I can uninstall to de-bloat?
3. If you run into a faster, less bulky ROM, please share with me , thanks!
Actually that goes for everyone else, as well. Please share your thoughts and inputs if you happen to have some cool ROM recommendations for TW ROMs that are the lightest and the fastest an least buggy !
Thanks guys!

You'd have to search around for a list of what can and can't be removed.. Or u can do like I did and make a backup so if u remove something that breaks the ROM, u can restore ur backup in twrp and be right back where u started..
Swipe to capture has to be turned on in settings. By default it is off.. I used it to take this screenshot for u..
As for a debloated ROM, you might do well with nowiz aosp in development section..can't get much more debloated than that..

Couple of questions bro:
1. What's the eye icon in your screen shot in the notification bar? I never get that...
2. What theme are you using? Link to that theme and other cool ones like it? (I love Red themes )
3. As for the swipe to screen, I've had the right settings enabled, but for the life of me, I cannot get that feature to work ... Even tried it on a friend's stock GS3, nothing. Saw videos on YouTube as well, mimicking the same thing, still no go ... wonder what's up?
As always, much appreciate your kindness and help !

We can help a lot more if you post in our lab rats thread.
I removed about as much as I could without complaints. I personally would remove more, but I wanted to keep the users happy. I would remove s voice, email, calender, Google search, Google now, voice recorder, and voice search. Themes are in the updater and screen shots are on our Web site. All PATB can be removed via the updater.
The eye is smart stay that you must turn on. Flashlight works perfectly fine for everyone else as well as swipe to capture.
Thank you sparytrainor!
