I rooted the other day and am running CM6 on my Evo. I don't much like ADW launcher, so I installed Launcher Pro. Every time I reboot my phone it defaults back to ADW. So today, I decided to buy Root Explorer and delete the APK for ADW in my system/apps folder, along with a couple other apps that I don't use. Without doing much research (drinking), I proceeded to delete some APKs. My phone will now not boot. It is stuck on the boot animation (which is beautiful).
Does anyone have a suggestion as to how I can fix this issue? I promise to never delete anything again, and stop drinking.
Thanks!

Yeah hold the volume down +power button while the phone is off till you get to the white screen and select recovery.
reflash from there.

well what you should have done is:
1. don't delete something if you don't know what it is
2. simply go to menu>settings>apps>manage apps>adw launcher and hit clear defaults
now to fix it... boot into recover wipe everything and re-flash
HAHA yes thank you. I forgot about my nandroid. Extended memory loss is one of the greatest side effects.
So do you know the proper way to remove apps using root explorer? Or will CM6 trip out if I touch any of its preloaded apps? Thanks for the help

I understand this. I did read to delete the apk in the system/apps folder on multiple articles. It's a completely legit way to remove apps according to many people.
And of course I tried to clear ADW's defaults, if that worked I wouldn't be trying to delete it. It starts whenever it wants to despite me telling it not to.

I have the option checked to install non market apps, but if I download wifi tether, for instance, from the dev's website, my phone will not even let me click on "install," though I can hit "cancel." I've tried this with a free other apks, such a Swype, volume+, etc. Some allow me to hit install and some do not.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any solutions? Btw, rooted gnex, stock 4.0.2, vzw.

First, I want to thank you for posting your question in the appropriate place. By chance, are you running JuiceDefender? If so, there is a bug that sometimes does not allow a user to install non-market applications without a workaround (you will find it in settings when configuring JuiceDefender). If you're not running JuiceDefender, then I am not sure, sorry .

I'm not. And since my original post, while my phone was laying on the couch, something changed and now I'm able to install those apks I've downloaded. Someone at AndroidForums suggested I side-load apks from my computer, but my only means of wifi is from my phone and wifi-tether was one of those apks that wouldn't install, until just an hour ago. I've had this issue rooted, unrooted, 4.0.1, 4.0.2, and it seems to come and go.
It seems no one else is posting about it anywhere that I can find, so if nothing else I wanted others to know that it is happening.

To see the thanks button you must NOT be on the classical theme of the forum. You can change that in UserCP.

Hey all,
First off - this is in no way a knock against all the self-sacrificing developers we have - they truly rock!
My question requires a little bit of background. I've been flashing since the days (lol) of Midnight Rom. Switched to Syndicate Frozen. I then started in the CM world with CM7 and liked it a lot. I felt it was quite snappy - although it had some quirks. Then when CM9 came out - I dived in. The quirky list of things about CM9 has really grown smaller and smaller. But one issue I feel remains. The speed. When I switched to CM9, I thought, well it's new, and it "wasn't even supposed to be able to fit on our phones to begin with..." but now I just don't know.... there has been a lot of streamlining and bug tweaks - I would have thought it should have smoothed out a bit.
My problem is, I just don't know when it's going to lag. I feel like sometimes it's fine, and other times it's just sitting there waiting and waiting to complete the action I've tapped. Other times it freezes and I have to long press the back key to kill the app.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this problem or if it's just me? Are we living in denial (lack of snappiness to have the latest OS ver), or is my phone saying I don't like what you've put in me!
FYI - I started with CM9 Alpha (something - can't remember) and I'm currently running Beta 3 (I usually like to wait a few days to see if there's any issues with the latest build b4 flashing). When I flash the latest builds, I only wipe cache part and dalvik cache. I also am sure each time to flash the recommended GAPPS. I have on occasion "fixed permissions" but that didn't do much.
I've been faithful about not flashing another kernel - although if that would help, any recommendations would be appreciated. Also, I was interested in trying the V6 Supercharger, but never did - and now it seems that no one is using that....
So is it just me, or is this everyone?
Start clean... wipe data... go into mounts and storage format /system. Then wipe dalvik. Flash the newest build and enjoy the slick ness... trust me fresh starts will save your life. Besides when installing new builds you can go into back up and restore. Backup your Google account and it will reinstall all your apps automatically.
The V6 supercharger will help as well.

Thanks again!
Hit menu. Go to system settings go to back up and reset. Hit backup account. Choose your Google account. It doesn't notify you of when its done but 5-10 minutes should be ample. It doesn't save data... sorry. But if you need it you can use titanium backup and restore data for apps you absolutely need.
That is not the V6 you want. This is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18703418&postcount=5021
You run this is script manager. If you need a how to I'd be happy to write one. Or a visual if you honestly need one.

You will want to run these after you install the new build.
Okay the files you want to download are the V6 Supercharger Update 9 RC8.2, and the Kick Ass Kernelizer RC8. Once these are downloaded (ignore the fact they are PDF's) Go ahead and download and install Script Manger from the market and open it up and find where you downloaded those files. Run the Kick Ass Kernelizer first. Tap it the dialog comes up and tap the Superuser icon to "run as root" then hit run. It will run through its terminal deal, when it asks for the I/O tweaks go ahead and say yes... i know it says bootloop potential but it hasnt happened to me so id say your good. Then it will give your options (K)ick ass , Chew G(u)m, and E(x)it. Type in K for it to install and to unistall you would type U, then hit enter... it will run through and when it says goodbye at the end at the top left you can hit close. Then go ahead and run the V6 Supercharger the same way. This one will give your scroll options type 1 hit enter. It will as for fix emissions type y hit enter, then it will ask to system integrate init.rc type y and hit enter. Then when it gets done it will ask if you want to use these custom values.. hit no... then i normally use the 7 option... but i suggests what options which is 5-7 for the epic since it has roughly 512mb of RAM. Then it will go through a terminal print again when it comes to the Superclean and Restart go ahead and choose yes. It will reboot and your all good to go. ... definetly making a copy of this... that was a long type .
NICE - I held of from doing the wiping of system and flashing from scratch - and the V6 made a HUGE difference!!!! Now every time I flash the latest Beta I'll need to run both of these scripts again, right?

Open the Xposed Installer app (installed in step 2). Click 'Modules', then check 'xMulti Window Mod', and reboot. (activates the run-time patch allowing all apps to be multiwindow compatible).
BTW, there are more cool Xposed modules (like call recording, per-app dpi, and no 100% battery notification) you can download here. Xposedframework eliminates the need for stock rom chefs imho.

How do I know if the multi-window works? I followed all these steps, but what I got is exactly the same as before. Where is the multi-window and how to call it out? Tried long press the return button but nothing happened. Or it does not work for T-mobile device?
I have completed the installation and have to admit that this made my night. Huge props to the person who developed this. Installing on my partners note 2 as well. Looking forward to seeing what else xposed comesbup with

Did you do the T-mobile update from yesterday? If so toggle multi window on in Settings--->Display. If you've done that then hold down your back button for a couple seconds the multi window should pop up at the left. You can hold back to hide it again.

Updated the subject. As the post above states, you need to be running the newest update.
This situation is an excellent example of why the xposed framework is such a great way to mod.
Had this been a standard flash patch, you would likely have force closes, or worse a soft brick.
With xposed, those problems are a thing of the past. If it can't hook the mod in, nothing happens (just as you are seeing). Hopefully in a future release there will be some indicator if a mod cant be hooked in.
Nevermind... got it working. F'n awesome, thank you!
Thank you for posting this mod. This made my day - I like keeping my phones with stock rom for as long as I can for stability sakes, and this mod is just what I needed.
Are there any draw backs to this mod? I was reading the original Exploit apk post and some are talking about a green camera screen.

If you just root through the app you'll be fine. The green camera screen happens when you check the boxes to actually disable the exploit.

Can someone please answer this? I don't want to get this mod and have every single app of mine show up on the multi window list, I just want a certain selection of apps
edit: nevermind, I installed it and you get to choose the apps to add to the list if anyone is wondering. They don't all just show up on the bar, you get a list of yours app and you edit the bar to choose what you want to add
Maybe you misunderstood him? All apps will only show when you click on edit. From that edit screen, you can then drag specific apps over to the multiview bar. After you're done editing, only apps you dragged over will show on the bar.
So two different things here: edit screen and the bar itself.
Hello everyone.
One question on this root process, can we install and use overclock applications such as SetCPU and TunerPro?
And if we had to, can the process be reversed and go back to stock unroot Note II?
Thank you.

1. Yes, once you're rooted, you can use apps that request root like SetCPU, Titanium Backup, AdAway, etc.
2. Yes, if you're on stock rom and recovery, you just go to SuperSu > Settings > Full Unroot.
Wow thanks that's the fastest root i have done. ALSO easy to be on Stock rom and have multi Window with every single app. Much thanks

Remember to uncheck the disable exploit boxes before unrooting, or you won't be able to re-root using the exploit.
So, I'm new to rooting and this is my first Nexus device.
I'm loving it and all the options but now I'm getting a notification to update.
I see all the forums about hooking it up to a computer and using commands to do it all and then rerooting.
I was looking for an easier way.
I bought a Nexus 5 to play with because I liked this one so much and when OTAs came up, it would let me download them and reboot into CWM recovery and ask if I want to flash the ZIP.
This one just boots into TWRP (No CWM for 5x) and does nothing.
I found the update as a zip here:
<https://gist.github.com/jduck/744a6c8a9042e9c792b7>
My question is: can I just download it and use TWRP to flash it or is the sequence of commands on a computer the only way to do it?
Thank you in advance for your help and I apologize for my ignorance.
Gotta start somewhere though, right?
Hi !
I personnaly use NRT from Wugfresh for my Nexus 5x and my Nexus 7 2013, both rooted.
In "model type", select Nexus 5x and your build.
In "Restore/upgrade/downgrade", select "device is on/normal", then click "Flash stock+ unroot".
Select the build you want to install, it can dl and extract it for you, and select "No Wipe Mode" in order to keep your data and apps. (don't try to put your ota file here)
Go through the steps, and in the end, hit "Root" to root again.
I know there are others methods to apply just the OTA with command lines, but I never did it cause I never took the time to learn. I should do it, maybe it's faster with command lines.
Anyway this works, even if it takes a little time, and it is kind of automatic. But I strongly recommend you try both method to find what suits you most. Or wait for someone else to reply so you'll have more points of view !
Have fun with your N5x !
I like the idea of that.
Does it reinstall the superuser app automatically?
If so, which one?
And does it redo custom recovery?
And which one for that?
Sorry for all the questions but I purchased SuperSU and I don't want it to automatically download a different one and have to go through the steps to change a superuser app.

Are you using flashfire v0.28?
Xposed modifies the system so while you maybe able to get the ota it can prevent you from installing them even with flashfire.
Go to the flashfire thread and see if this is a problem with the app or because or xposed (most likely answer).
Otherwise find the ota threads and see if you can flash it through recovery (not the N version)
Yeah, it's that version of Flashfire.
I have the update zip but I'm afraid to just flash it.
I was hoping that I'd get some more help here.
Not that I don't appreciate your help.

Thats at the end of my ability to help you with this particular problem, I have only owned a Nexus for 2 months and they are completely diff to Samsung plus I run pure nexus rom, you may just have to use a computer.
And I really appreciate it.
I'll just use a computer and do it.
Don't want to risk trying to flash the zip and bricking but I'm still curious.
Just not curious enough.
Haha.
Got it.
In case anyone needs to know for themselves, I wanted to post it here.
http://nexus5.wonderhowto.com/how-t...thout-losing-root-no-computer-needed-0168428/
I used that and it worked.
I didn't flash the Xposed zip and had to later on.
Worth it just to add it to the queue to save the time.
Everything else seems to be working fine thus far.
A few settings are changed (TinyCore was turned off and hidden apps in Smart Launcher 3 were unhidden) but that's nothing big.

That is the same manipulation I explained in post 2, but with Flashfire, without using a computer. And full automated, where with nrt you have to factory reset and root later. I'll try it next time ! And yeah, the version of SuperSu is always the latest, and if it is not, it will update via play store (I bought it as well ^^)

This one didn't unroot. Just uninstalled Xposed. Kept all my data and stuff. Apps stayed signed in even. I was afraid because I heard "factory reset" in yours. Or something to that nature. The only thing I'm having problems with now is Tapatalk told me to check my adblock settings and won't load anything. I'll have to look up what's wrong with it. Other than that, it's doing all right.
You are right and wrong, it unroots but reroots in the process. Same I did when I used nrt. And as i didn't wipe data, apps stayed sign in as Well.
But i tried flashfire on my nexus 7 and I it is way more useful and faster than nrt. I am adopting it !
