Phone no longer loads themes

Ok so here is my problem, I had an epic and it was rooted fine, could load themes kernels everything without any kind of problems, that phone ended up getting broken so I replaced it and got another epic, the phone rooted fine, runs wireless tether and other programs fine without issue, but it seems like anytime I try to load any themes change kernels it says its installed but goes back to the way it was , no changes... any ideas? Im running stock everything, ec05....

I believe you need to be on a deodexed ROM to install themes. The EC05 plus ROM is deodexed and is basically modified and optimized stock if you want to try that.

New to GSM nexus

Hi community. I'm new to thus phone. I've been around for a while but never created a profile here. I unlocked the boot loader and rooted it. First from installed is aopk with Franco kernel. Seems to be running okay but I am getting random force closes here and there from different apps. Not sure if this is ice issue or rom. Its intermittent so not an annoyance yet. Got some freezes when typing horizontally on the keyboard and xda app fc as well as other apps. I am running yakju. Would I benefit from just going back to stock and just keeping unlocked boot loader and rooted? Is there more stability with 4.04 vs 4.2 ? Being as this is my first Google phone I'd like to always get updates from Google without too much hassle. Please input and I'm always willing to take criticism.

When you get freezes and closes from apps randomly, I always tend to blame the rom. It could be the kernel too.
If you're wanting official updates then I would go with the stock rom. I flashed a custom rom and tested a few of them out and they were pants so I just roll with a rooted stock rom.

Just flashed the new Franco kernel and it sped things up. Haven had any freezes yet. Just running the kernel out of the box without any tweaks. Seems snap pier too, specially in app drawer.

[Q] Fixing the Data Counter Issue

I'm looking to get some information on my what can be done to fix the Data Usage counter on my wife's i927R (Rogers) running the stock GB os. Currently any data counter application that is put on doesn't actually keep track of 3G/4G data correctly.
I have been reading up on just upgrading it to ICS but I recently read all about the phone call issues after it goes to sleep so I'll be holding off on that upgrade to that gets worked out.
I did notice that there were some GB Kernels (like ardatdat's) that say they fix the issue but they also do a bunch of other things like overclock which i'm not interested in.
Is there a way to just patch the existing stock kernal to correct the data counter issue? If so can you point me in the right direction of the files and steps to update?
Any help would be great.
Thanks

If you want a count of your data, message, and phone calls and are on att, dial *3282# into the phone and press call. It is very accurate and gives you the data in the form of a text message. Not sure if this is what you want, but this is what I do.

The standard stock kernel can't be given that feature, you have to recompile it from source and then hope you get a working version. We are a small group compared to the other phones as our model is not quite as epic as the original as the original captivate galaxy s is still a great phone and being an attention whore still lol..
But we are All trying to do our best to get more mods out there.
I personally use ICS 4.0.4 stock (custom modded to my needs)
And run lite kernel 1.1.1 you may want to try an update to your ROM from gingerbread to ICS and I beleive at&t launched an official update with samsung, maybe try it and see if it helpa

Thanks for the replies but i'm not on AT&T but rather Rogers in Canada.
Also, I would update to ICS but from the other ongoing threads there is an issue with the phone not receiving calls\sms on those roms once it goes to sleep mode so i want to avoid that until it is fixed.
From the sounds of it the only solution is to flash a new kernel (such as ardatdat's) thats specifically says it fixes the issue. Perhaps I can figure out how to change overclock settings so that it runs stock speeds.
To flash a Kernel do I just use Odin like a Rom flash? Are there any How To's on Kernel flashing? I haven't found one around here for the glide.
Thanks

The AOSP ROMs default to stock clocks, why haven't you upgraded yet?

I come from rogers too.. the ICS update will work fine for you and overclock doesn't affect anything. I was using literom with lite kernel 1.1.1 before upgrading to cm10.. then pacman 18.2 and now on liquid smooth
You should at least upgrade to Ics.. phone runs faster and smoother and GPS is fixed in literom too.
What version of GB are you using ? I upgraded to the latest GB first when I got my glide and I don't recall data stats not working

The current os is 2.3.5 (Kernel 2.6.36.3), The latest one available for the phone through Kies. All the data usage counting apps do not work on this phone. They all report about 1/1000th of the actual usage. Wifi data reports correctly but thats not what's important.
roothorick: I searched for "AOSP Rom" and what i found was an alpha build with a bunch of known issues. As this is my wife's phone, this wouldn't go over well. Keeping the phone looking and functioning the same as much as possible is key.
yohan4ws: I was planning on upgrade to ICS but now i'm reading the threads about the issues with the phone not receiving calls or sms once it goes to sleep. That is unacceptable as it is the main purpose of having a phone. So you aren't experiencing any "no radio wake" issues with your setup?

[Q] cannot connect to the camera error problem

Am so sorry mods if i didn't post this in the right section, I have limited sections i can paste owing to the fact that am still a junior member and my posts aren't up to 10. I have an sgh-t999 samsung galaxy s3, that is the snapdragon chipset type. I would love to update the whole firmware to 4.3 boatloader, baseband and so on just dat i've only succeeded in updating the baseband to the latest but not the boatloader cos it will involve downloading the whole firmware and am scared of this knox security stuff imbeded in 4.3 and another thing is that i have a slow network which might cause broken and corrupt downloads. My main problem is that when ever i flash any kitkat custom rom, that is all this weekly, nightlies and so on roms, am always having this persistent cannot connect to the camera error which i have searched for a fix to no avail. Ok look at how I have tried to fix it, i copied the camera data of a touchwhiz rom to replace the kitkat own but no changes, have tried restarting and wiping but still same problem. I happened to come across this beautiful rom ie [D2LTE]
~~AICP~~4.4.4----{5.0}---(RELEASE)-JUN-25 rom which i so much love and discovered that it has same problem. Seriously if it were just the bluetooth, i wouldn't have any problems but the camera is ab essential somethhing i can't stay with. Is this problem because am flashing a kitkat custom rom without an updated boatloader or is it particular to the rom? I need some help plz. How do i have a long standing solution to it?

As you have installed custom recovery so I feel it might have increased your warranty count and as far flashing 4.3 rom, I don't think if you flash root66 of latest NC2 build is going to harm as only thing that you will not be /should not flash older firmware in Odin as it will brick your device but you will be able to flash older custom Rom in recovery without any issues
With this you will be enjoying latest bootloader and modem and use all 4.4 Rom without issues.
For camera issue, you download other camera from play store and try as I used Google camera without issues on this Rom but I am on latest bootloader and modem.

Something like a force close

Not exactly cos when i tap on the camera icon, the error message just appears ie cannot connect to the camera, restart camera or ok. When u click on restart, the camera just restarts but does same thing but if u click on ok, the camera just closes.

[Q] No MMS Liquidsmooth v4.0 (Virgin Mobile)

Hello all,
I used to have CM11 M12 on my SPH-L710. when I first installed it, I didn't have MMS or LTE. However, I fixed it using this fix from MopedRyder: http://androidforums.com/threads/mod-universal-lte-virgin-mobile-apn-fix-wip-cm-aosp-4-4-x.840298/ and I fixed the MMS with the fix from moonknightus on that page. However, when I flashed liquidsmooth v4.0 to my phone, whenever I flashed the MMS fix, the phone would not boot. Does anyone know how to fix this? It says it should work with all AOSP ROMs. The LTE fix works, but not MMS.

This problem persists on Android Ice Cold Project v8.0. Using Hangouts as the default messaging app allows MMS to work, but stock messaging doesn't seem to want to work with Lollipop. Anyone know of a fix?

You shouldn't need the MMS fix on lollipop, I didn't. Everytime I try to apply the MMS fix mine would not boot either, but just applying the APN fix allowed me to send MMS's in the default text messaging app. I'm on Boost Mobile. Have you tried flashing a TouchWiz ROM on there updating PRL and profile and then flashing the lollipop ROM? If you try this make sure you wipe internal SD each time.

Yes, I have tried it without the fix. However, the message wouldn't download. I cleaned up the phone before a new flash using the feature in PhilZ touch home recovery. I haven't tried flashing a touchwiz ROM to update anything. I'm pretty happy with using hangouts as the default messaging app, but is there any other advantage for updating PRL and profile? I've configured my ROM the way I like it. Will making a Nandroid backup, flashing the touchwiz ROM, and restoring the backup allow me to have the updated PRL and profile?

Updating the prl and profile will just make sure everything is up to snuff and communicating with towers and provider, in Philz make a nandroid, wipe cache, wipe internalSD, wipe to install new ROM. Flash TouchWiz ROM, update prl and profile, go back into Philz, wipe everything including internalSD, restore nandroid.

Thanks! Do you know where to get a good touchwiz ROM?

Wicked S5 is the best TouchWiz ROM I've run:

Make sure you can send and receive MMS on there before you go back to Liquid. That way if there is something you need to do per carrier instructions if it doesn't work, you'll have access to dialer codes.

Thanks. I'll get around to checking it, but I'm a little hesitant to because everytime I would recieve an OTA (before I rooted/installed custom ROMs), my phone's coverage would stop working, and I'd have to contact Virgin Mobile and reactivate my phone. Now that I've burned those bridges installing ROMs, I'm a bit hesitant to do something like that. Do you think this will happen again, or is that a stock only problem? Getting stock MMS to work now isn't a high priority (I'm fine using Hangouts), but I figure I'll have to update my modem, PRL, profile, or something else sooner or later, and I'd like to figure this out.

Burned what bridge? They don't care, it's your phone, you bought it. If you have ANY TouchWiz ROM and you call to trouble shoot a problem you can use dialer codes if need be.

I was under the assumption that once you rooted or installed a custom ROM you were on your own. In that case, I'll install a touchwiz ROM with no worries!

You're really on your own with AOSP ROMs, keep in mind if you go the route with WickedS5 AND need to call VirginMobile, don't use the S5 settings, use the normal one, if you read the thread you'll see what I'm talking about
