So I successfully rooted my phone, but I usually only root so that I can remove bloatware, use it as a hotspot, etc and seldom mess with custom ROMS.
I would like to like TouchWiz, but right now it is killing me. Some issues I am having; hopefully someone can help me out here:
-I cannot get my external SD card to show in ES file Explorer
-I cannot figure out how to have different notification sounds for different apps (text messages, Gmail, calendar, etc)
-The stock text message app is pulling contacts as everyone who I have ever emailed from my Gmail account, despite them not actually being a contact on the phone, and I see no way to modify this list.
-Is there not a way to have some of my accounts (Google) automatically synch and some accounts (Facebook) turned off? I had this option with HTC and could even specify when they would Synch. It seems TouchWiz just gives one master synch option for all of your accounts.
-I am still getting facebook update notifications even though I have all syncing turned off.
- If I use a different launcher, I lose most of the TouchWiz widgets. Is that supposed to happen?
I know a lot of questions, but this UI is absolutely ruining the experience of having this beast of a phone.
Look in the settings within each app in question.

In Es File Explorer, tap back or tap the "Up" icon on the tool bar, that'll take you to the main partition of the phone. From there tap "mnt" and then tap "extSdCard" and you'll have your external SD. The other option is to use the Samsung native app "My Files" in the app drawer. It's pretty good and it's copy/cut/paste between internal and external is pretty fast.

You have to set these individual in each app, in Calendar go to settings and scroll down to Event Notification, tap Select Ringtone and set it. In Messaging and others goes the same. There some apps that'll use the default notification and cannot be changed natively but I'm sure there is an app in the Play Store that'll let you customize, haven't had a real need for it...

This is normal and also wotks this way on HTC. It's because you've sent those emails with Gmail and it automatically stores them as new contacts, if you have contact sync on in the phone it'll bring those contacts as new ones. The easy way to clean up the list is to log into Gmail from the PC and go to contacts, click on Gmail (right below Google logo) and select contacts. You can merge or massivly delete contacts or move them a new folder within contacts. And if you want to stop Gmail from creating a contact, on the web based Gmail go to settings and scroll down to 'Create contacts for auto-complete" and select "I'll create contacts myself" Then resync the phone to clean them up... I'm not sure, need to test it out, but I think you can edit your contacts with Airdroid, not sure if you knew about this app, it's very handy. I need to this too, alot of clutter and old contacts that I need to delete.

Yup, go to settings>account & sync and tap the account you want to modify uncheck the synce option you don't want for each service. Also, Facebook has native notification settings that you can change.

Try the above and it should fix it. If not, go to the app in Application Manager within setting and clear cache and force close the app. Reboot into recovery and clear cache and dalvik and fix permisions then reboot the phone.

Click to expand...

This also happens with HTC Sense, all Sense widgets are lost when using a third party launcher. This is because they are confingured to work with their respective proprietary launcher (. There are many third party widget in the market that you use as well as launchers, Nova Launcher is a winner and you can use APW widgets along with beutiful widget or glass widgets for that HTC feel. I for one prefer TW, it's cleaner and user friendly.
Hope this helps and clears things out. If you need further help, feel free to PM me.

External SD should be located under /storage/sdcard0
Internal SD should be located under /storage/sdcard1
They should also be linked in /mnt as stated in the post above

You set a 'default' notification ringtone and then go into Messaging, Gmail, Calendar, etc... to set the application specific one. Typically under Menu>Settings>General Settings>Choose Ringtone

I believe this is a setting within Gmail. Login to your gmail account, click the Gear at the right, select Settings and find:
Create contacts for auto-complete:
When I send a message to a new person, add them to Other Contacts so that I can auto-complete to them next time
Make sure this is not selected and instead put "I will add contacts myself". You might have to delete the existing contacts in "Other Contacts".

Check in the Facebook app first to disable/configure the synching. I haven't used TouchWiz much on my SGSIII, but there used to be something under the main Settings > Accounts & Sync and it would list all of the accounts for you to just uncheck a box to disable a specific account.
This goes for your Facebook notifications coming through even though you have synching off.
matpal said:

My guess would be yes this is supposed to happen. A lot of those widgets depend on TouchWiz running.
Perhaps you should check out the Android Development section and look at a few of the ROMs based on stock TouchWiz. Some of them are really nice and don't look much different than stock, except they run a lot faster .
Hope this helps, good luck!
Edit: beat to the punch on everything by dragon_rckr good job!
I very much appreciate the detailed response, thank you.
The only thing that I am still drawing a blank at is the ES File Explorer. I supposed I could just use another app, but I really liked this one on my previous phone.
It appears that I do not have an "MNT" folder. I thought maybe if I unmounted and re-mounted the card, it would appear, but no luck.
I know I am in the main partition of the phone as that is where I copied the Clock Work mod Recovery to, which I can see, and then of course, if I press "up", it indicates doing so again will exit (already at root of phone directory).
Ahhh,
I had to go in and manually change my home directory to " / ".
Interesting.

LOL I was replying and wanted to check who have posted the pic to reference them and saw this ^...
Good!
Guess you got everything worked out. Now I recommend flashing TWRP instead of CWM, CWM has issues reading from the extSdCard and TWRP is fully functional and more polished. Install GooManager from the Play Store, open and grant SU persmisions. Once in the app tap menu>Install OpenRecoveryScript and it'll install it for you.
Have you considered a custom ROM, if so I recommend FreeGS3. It's one of the most stable and has really good battery life along with awesome support from the group of people that use it. Also, the bloatware was removed and it's set up as an optional install when you're flashing the ROM.
Forgot to mention that this should've gone in the Q&A section. Mods might move it, just a heads up

hey!
just a short question: is it somehow possible to disable (remove!) the contact pictures that come with facebook-contact-sync?
thanks!
theo
edit: I am using InsertCoin HD-port
If it's just the Facebook ones you don't want, go into the settings of the facebook app and choose to not sync. Or if you don't want them to show at all go into the preferences of the Contact app.
I would like to sync all the facebook-contacts, but I don't want the facebook-contact-pictures coming with syncing "Facebook for HTC Sense".
the normal facebook app is not synchronising at all.
Open up the Contacts app and go through the settings to disable contact icons. To sync fully with Facebook, just go into the app, go into the settings and select sync all. If this doesn't work, go into Accounts and Sync and manually do it from there instead.

YES! thats what I want
but I can't find any "settings-menu" in contacs app ("people").
I am on InsertCoin HD Port - android 2.2.1
in contacts app I have only
-add contact
-view
-delete
-import/export
-search
-more (>blocked callers & linked contacts)
where can I find the option to disable contact icons?
THANKS!
Press the menu button on your Desire and it will bring up a little menu then just select settings. No idea what it's like on InsertCoin but should be still the same. They are there, you just have to find them. But seriously, press menu > settings.
arrr.
I feel like a real noob...I just can't find it :-(
as described above, when I am in my contacts app ("people") and press the menu-button I have only
-add contact
-view
-delete
-import/export
-search
-more (>blocked callers & linked contacts)
THERE IS NO "SETTINGS" option.
if you dont trust me I will upload some screenshots
cant imagine that there is no option like this in my HD-port...maybe I should ask in the Desire HD-forum...
nevertheless..thanks!
Sorry mate. I know what you mean now. Bloody native Android has it so you can get rid of the contact icon but Sense doesn't. I installed Sense earlier and I can't find anything. Guess you could get a 3rd party app and use that but as far as I can tell, it's not going to happen.

MIUI for Beginners
Source: http://en.miui.com/a-10.html
Already flashed MIUI ROM? OK, pick up your phone now, let’s start our happy journey of MIUI ROM.
The first step: selecting apps
Various apps will greatly enrich your cell phone, so firstly let’s select the apps to your taste. Use the Android Market and download what you would like. If you are using a backup app and restoring apps from a previous ROM, only restore the apps and not the data. Otherwise that will create a lot of force close issues.
Tip: How to copy files from the computer to the phone? First connect your phone to your computer via data cable, pull down the notification panel from the top of the phone, click “USB connected”, and then click "Turn on USB storage”.
After copying, do not forget to select the option of “Turn off USB storage”, otherwise "File Manager” in the phone will not be able to find the sd card, as it is being occupied by the computer.
Now I have a lot of apps, how to put them in order?
All apps successfully installed are listed on the desktop, however, they may not be in the order you want, how to put them in order?
Long press an app icon and then you may move it freely. When it is moved to the screen border, the screen will automatically switch to the next screen.
How to add a screen? Use two fingers to pinch on the desktop to enter screen thumbnail mode. Then you may add or delete screens.
How to delete an app? Long press the app icon you want to delete, drag it on top of the trash box and click OK to delete it.
The second step: let's make your phone different.
A phone without style is nothing remarkable, so let’s make your phone different!
Changing wallpaper: Click Menu button on the desktop, select “Change Wallpaper” to replace the wallpaper. In addition to the existing wallpaper in the phone, thousands of pieces of wallpaper are also available online.
Changing theme: Themes make great changes to your interface style. Click “Theme Manager” on the desktop to select the theme you like. Also, more online themes are available online.
Selecting ringtones and more: click “Settings” on the desktop to set call and notification ringtones. In “Personalization” under “Personal” tab, you may find more options.
The third step: it’s time for some advanced techniques!
Well, you are no longer a beginner now, so let’s learn some advanced techniques.
Adding widgets on the desktop: press the Menu button on the desktop, select "Edit Mode", and then click the icon on the upper right corner to access the interface of “Add Widgets”. Choose your favorite widget on the top, and then drag it to the screen below.
Using folders to manage desktop apps: in the interface of “Add Widgets”, drag [Folder] to the desktop. You may drag multiple apps into folders to classify them. After opening the folder, you may click the edit icon in the upper left corner to rename the folder.
Using toggles panel to improve efficiency: drag the notification panel down from the top, click "Toggles" to go to the toggles panel (It goes to the toggles panel in default of notice.) On the panel are listed the most commonly used toggles, you may click to quickly enable or disable a toggle. Long press on the icon will launch the settings for that icon.
Guest mode: enable the “Guest Mode” toggle in the panel, and your calls and text messages logs will be hidden, and all installed applications cannot be removed. You may have a try when you need to show your phone to guests or children.
Importing contacts or binding accounts: you may use some apps to import a batch of contacts, or bind Google account directly in "Settings"> "Personal"> "Accounts & Sync Settings" to sync contacts at any time.
How to print screens? Press "Menu" key and "Volume Down" key at the same time to print a screen. The printed image is saved in the directory of MIUI in the SD card.
How to copy files from the computer without using the data cable? In case of a Wi-Fi connection, enter “File Manager” on the desktop, select the tab of "Remote Administration" to start the service, and then you will get an address. Enter the given address on the computer, then you may copy files without using a data cable!

looks rather interesting. i'm currently using the 'Incredibly Debloated' ROM but will to give this one a try. my internet sucks though so it may take a bit to download yours.
Hello all,
Some of you may remember me from the early days of MIUI on the HTC Incredible. I'm back with a brand new port for the HTC Incredible 2.
In addition to downloading the rom from your browser, it's also available in ROM Manager. If you are a ROM Manager premium user you will get OTA updates as well.
The following people are responsible for helping to get this port working:
attn1 - For bringing us CM7 for the vivow
cyanogenmod - For making CM and giving us libs/kernels/configs/etc to kang
koush - For clockworkmod and ROM Manager
alpharevx - For busting the seams of this device wide open
stiffspliff, cayniarb, jamezelle, warttack and all the other MIUI.us developers for their support
And of course, all our users! Without you.. there is nothing to see here

I don't know how they ported that particular rom. It should work.. but if things start fc'ing I'd wipe and selectively restore. I'd particularly stay away from restoring launcher. If you use the MIUI backup app you should be OK.

My contacts came back fine. At least all the ones that I had synced with Google. Only issue I am having is that some apps will not work with SwipePad. But I have seen that before with MIUI on my Cappy. Not a big deal. Loving MIUI again. Really makes any android phone that I have used that much better.
Great work everyone involved!
I just flashed this rom & it came up to the bootloader but it keeps looping at the "MIUI United Worldwide" animation. Any suggestions? Anyone else experience this? It has been doing this for about 10 minutes now.
I cleared cache & did a data/factory reset before I flashed this rom.
Hello I found today that you cannot make a mass delete on you email application (the default one, which is coming with the device) and you have to select one by one to delete them. is there any way to get mass delete?
thank you
Do you mean the gmail app? not very clear to me.
If so this is indeed not possible, in gmail it's even very difficult to do because of a bug, but it can be done.
From gmail itself this is the trick.
Create label: something like to be removed
Use search like !label:whateveryouwantlabel select all add to the created label.
Go to the label and select all mail then delete it, otherwise you'll not be able to remove them.

Stock 4.02 ROM rooted/unlocked.
So I was changing some stuff around on my home screen and dragged the "contacts" app that was in the bottom bar into the trash can. I was planning to just use the contacts I can see under the phone icon, but now I realize that only lets me dial contacts and not see all the contact info I have for them. Also, a few recent contacts I added aren't showing up online from my desktop. My phone says it's still succesfully syncing my contacts. I don't see "contacts" in my app drawer (but I don't know if it ever shows up there.) Did I uninstall the contacts app, or am I just missing a setting somewhere to make it display?
Well the app is called "People"... I'm assuming that's what you mean.
If you're on the stock launcher, there's no trash can for pre-installed apps. You can only see "App Info" to disable it. You can't uninstall with 1 drop.
If you're rooted and using a custom Launcher, it may have a "trash can" to long-hold onto to uninstall, and if you're rooted it may offer a full uninstall of system apps.
Gonna need more info here...

GPS precision is disable by default. I take 3hrs to find how to enable it.
Even with GPS precision On, GPS doesn’t work right, Waze says that GPS is offline several times and most of times he can't lock position or position is outdated / wrong.
Camera Detected bug that occurs several times when I open configurations, a black screen with "camera detected" text appears on screen, this bugs stop after 2 days of use (after I install Cerberus via CWM).
Camera take a picture when started sometimes.
Camera app stop responding several times, it is annoying.
Several PT-BR missing translations. I can help with translation if needed.
Few errors on data ON/OFF button, show "service.|TIM" sometimes on Quick Access Ribbon.
Missing second SIM call / send button on Dialer and SMS apps. To make a call or send a text using secondary SIM I need to change it on configurations.
No way to set sounds for each SIM card individually, I found a setting to do that on Dialer app but doesn't work.
Notification Drawer with opened apps has a bug with big notifications. When some apps with big notification not show as first on this Drawer its window not show complete.
Example attached.

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

Add "Location Consent" checkbox to not ask again. Is very annoying this Consent appearing every time.

Try disabling the "Store Location" option.

Select "Prompt" for Voice calls and Sending SMS in Multi SIM settings.
Notification Drawer with opened apps has a bug with big notifications. When some apps with big notification not show as first on this Drawer its window not show complete.
This is a feature when you have more than one notifications. To see the hidden notification, just press and drag the notification down. It will then show the full notification.

Not possible in the default launcher. Use some other launcher.

Not possible in ANY default Gallery app. They don't consider the .nomedia file. Use QuickPic instead.

BTW, I am also using the same ROM and I don't have the bug with the camera. Maybe it could be because of some other app running in the background.
Link2SD and SIM Voice Mail
Hello there,
I'm using the GT-9192 Carbon release 20140720-0828 and have two small annoyances:
Cannot setup Link2SD. The phone detects the SD card but the app always throws the error "Read-only file system" and cannot mount the ext4 partition. I've tries re-formatting the partition, switching to ext2, ext3...to no avail
I understand that this release is marked "apps2sd". I'd like to understand a bit better what this means: I found the options for moving the apps to SD card, but don't see where do they go. Are they being moved to the (hidden) partition on the SD card?
Cannot setup Voice Mail mailbox number. I tried this only for SIM1, and it does not work. The option to insert the number is there, but whenever I press OK after setting the number, nothing is stored (blank number).
And that's is, besides these minor annoyances (Link2SD may be a big one once I install big apps like maps, etc...) this is an absolutely fantastic piece of work! Great ROM - never thought a phone could be so lag-free! Quite impressive work the devs have done!

Thanks for replies.

Try using the Xposed module "All Notification Expanded". I haven't tried it, may work.
Tap tap tapatalked from my I9192
Well, altough this ROM has great performance, I guess I'll have to go back to CM11 or another one, because I can't use link2sd. Running out of disk space and cannot move any apps to the external sd card. What puzzles me is that no one else is having this issue!
Edit: this is the message I get when I try to re-create mount scripts in Link2SD:
"Failed on /system/bin/debuggerd - read-only file system"

It seem to me that is a SU issue, try install SuperSu app and see whats happens.
To use app2sd feature, you need to enable it on Settings, Apps, tap menu key and choose "Enable app moving", to move an app to ext sd, select the app that you want to move to ext sd and tap on "Move to SD card"
Remember that you'll not able to move some system or protected applications.

Indeed, installing SuperSU in recovery (I used SuperSU from this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053) fixed the permissions problem and allowed me to use Link2SD with Carbon. So, bottom line: Superuser is broken, SuperSU works fine.
Thank you very much f4k! Great work on this ROM and the kernel!
Well after few I finally get all functions working. Thanks for reply.
Now I have a problem with S-VOICE, I download S-VOICE S5 and install it but doesn't work. Have any trick to make it work? I don't like Goggle Now and miss S-VOICE.
