[Q] NavBar Disapperaing Act? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

on BB8 using the LTM app with the full!screen app on market for my gnex, worked fine till phone rebooted while navbar was hidden and afte reboot my top status bar came back but not the bottom navbar...
I dont have a back up handy, yes I know noobish, I promise no more late night fiddling...
Can someone help me figure this one out?? Is there something that needs to be replaced in the system?? Can I get away with a "dirty flash"?? Never done that before, what could happen??
Or is there a quick fix I am missing?
I am guessing this may have something to with the framework apk?? Would replacing that fix the issue? How would I "re-do" the framework?

I ran into this issue when I went from stock to a ROM that had a customized NAV BAR then I changed to another ROM without this mod. I would backup my SD Card, do a nandroid of the current setup, factory reset, then reflash the desired ROM. Dirty flashing causes problems like these.

Ya I see, but thats the thing I never dirty flash so I was wondering how to fix it, I can start over. Thanks for your time

you could try dirty flashing over what you have now just to see if it comes back. worst case, clean flash

Row 7,8,9 no longer working

I don't know what I did but for whatever reason my screen is no longer responding on the 7,8,9 row on the phone. Mods if this is not in the right place can you move it please.
The last thing I did was change evrc to evrc.b and now the row doesn't work. I'm using fresh's rom if that makes a difference.
try recalibrating Menu-Settings-Lang&keyboard-Text input- Calibration (at the bottom)
unfortunately after re-calibrating AND resetting back to factory it still doesn't pick it up.
ok i just did a data wipe and a dalvic-cache wipe and re-installed fresh's rom to see if it would fix the problem, unfortunately it doesn't look like it worked at all. i'm still getting no input on the 7,8,9 row. anybody have any other idea i can bounce around to try to fix my touch screen problem?

Have you tried reflashing the stock ROM to see if it's simply a hardware issue?

first off, this should be in the q&a board, IMO.
second, i agree completely with the previous post. i would reflash to completely stock. if the issue persists and is consistent, as in those rows NEVER work no matter what (stock software or custom software), i would take it back to where you bought it, sprint/radio shack/best buy. it should be easy to demonstrate to them the issue and they shouldn't have any problem exchanging your current model as defective for a new one.
if the issue is fixed by flashing stock software ... then that's another ball game and we can work with that when we get there so keep us updated!
ok really noob question but when you say stock rom, do you mean stock rom that is rooted or completely stock like out of box, and if that's the case where do i get the stock rom from? also would this screw up my root access?
edit:
will this one work forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=685835?
ok so yeah i did a flash to the stock rom and it's still a no go. >_< looks like i'm taking it back to sam's club to get it replaced then.

InfectedRom lockscreen with no slider

Ok guys I am starting this thread because I cannot find an answer after searching...
Basically what my problem is right now is that upon reboot of my phone, I get to the lockscreen page and there is no slider to unlock with. Just my wallpaper and notifications bar on top. This happened to me last randomly without me doing anything major (moving apps to sd card, installing new themes, etc.). I simply clicked the screen off after a text and then couldn't unlock the screen.
I am currently running the InfectedRom on my Evo with netarchytoastmod as a kernel I forget which version. I have wiped dalvik cache and regular cache and tried a reboot. Still same problem. I wiped both caches again and reflashed the rom and still nothing. The only thing I can think of to do next is to do a full data wipe, but I'm trying to avoid that cause thats always a hassle. Any ideas out there?
Any help would be appreciated.
I'm not saying its virus' rom,but i had a few bugs trying to use that rom,after the second time flashing it,for some strange reason,my phone would'nt install it anymore,it kept giving error messages.It looks like a real good rom,so whoever got that rom installed and running,let me know your trick,lol.Other than that,i can't give you an answer for your question.Good luck.
Personally I think its the best rom i've used up till now. Looked awesome and never had a single problem with it :/ Thanks anyways!

[Q] Is it bad to get new roms repeatedly?

On my nexus, I have like 3 CWM backups of various roms. I go back and forth between them sometimes when I mess around with it. Each time I use ROM manager, i clear all memory options that it gives.
I guess my question is, when going to a new rom after backing up and clearing an older one, are there like, traces left over that slow down the phone or take up memory? Is it bad in any way to go to a new rom every week?
Also, question #2: I have been looking for a rom with transparent softkeys (as in, the wallpaper extends ALL the way to the bottom of the phone, aka the softkeys do not sit atop a black background). Does anyone know of one?
This is my first post on XDA in a long time, so I hope I'm in the right place. Thanks to all!
1. That's why you wipe and do clean installs.
2. I believe I saw a similar thread before, try searching the forum.
Got it... so in regards to 1) if i press clear any memory options that rom manager gives me when installing a new rom, everything is good?
Thanks for the reply by the way.

Ya. And if you believe it's acting up coz of ghost files, restore to stock and start clean.

Ghost files?
No, it has more to do with incompatible databases, etc. under /data partition.
You can cure most ills when flashing roms by clearing dalvik.
So I've looked everywhere... I wasnt able to find any instruction to get a transparent softkey bar.
I hate to ask, but can anyone point me to a rom that comes with this option preloaded or a simple flashable zip?
Sorry
Havent seen a rom with transparent nav bar yet - you can resize it (make it smaller) in a few roms like AOKP.
this thread was about flashing roms...right?
transparent navbar? not available yet, next time search themes and apps section
Sent from my TF201
I probably went through 8 roms in my first day of owning my gnex, just make sure you wipe dalvik cache every time you flash, I still go between three ROMs now and haven't had any problems.
Here's where I got my transparent status and nav bars.

[RE-FLEXxx] Q&A Thread

In this thread you can post your experience, questions, and all other stuff that is not directly related to the RE-FLEXxx rom.
I do this to keep the dev thread clean.
Thank you for your understanding.
I will take a look into this thread from time to time but the main goal is so that users of the RE-FLEXxx rom can help out each other and that they can find help from each other in one place.
Regards, civ.
I installed 2.0 on my N5110 (coming from 1.9) and it is working well but the top of my tablet is non-responsive to touch. Happened on other releases but a reboot always fixed it. This time the problem remained, so I tried wiping cache, dalvik, fixing permissions, reboots, and all sorts of combinations. I did finally manage to fix the issue yesterday after one of those reboots but now the problem just reappeared and won't go away. Any suggestions?
Edit: Finally got it resolved with a full wipe of data, cache, and dalvik through cwm recovery. Then I flashed Civz reflexx Rom 2.1 and rebooted. The top of the screen still did not respond to touch, so I rebooted and now everything works perfectly. :thumbup:
anybody else still having SNote FC on them in 2.0? also the extended menu items will not work for me...setting fc

no snote and extended menu all working for me. Maybe you had a bad download? Otherwise try wiping and installing fresh.

yes, hd happened to me, I re downloaded and reflashed it again and is OK now..
well, I finally installed twrp, and backed up my stock rom, so I am getting ready to flash the first custom rom on any tablet I have had!
one quick question; I am a very experienced rom flasher; I see in TWRP, there are several options under the wipe menu, and, I know to check the first 4 options before flashing this rom; then, there are 2 more options, wipe internal card, and wipe external card.
I know not to wipe my external card, since all my "stuff" is there...should I wipe the internal card before flashing, or is that not necessary when flashing this rom from a stock rom?
I apoligize if this belongs in the the TWRP thread, but I thought since others have probably gone through this, I wanted to post the question here as well. I guess I should post it in the TWRP thread as well...
thank you!

This is my opinion on it.....I usually only wipe the internal card if I am starting completely over with flashing a device. Wiping data/cache is usually all that is needed but if there are a lot of apps that get installed over time their folders get left and every so often I like to wipe it to get rid of all the "orphaned" folders. If you are going to just restore all those apps anyways then it won't make a difference either way. If you are going from the stock rom to a TW custom based on the stock it shouldn't be necessary to flash internal.
thanks man, that is what I thought, but, since I have never flashed a custom rom on to any tablet I have owned, I wasnt sure if there was other "stuff" on the internal card that might be needed no matter what; and, yes, since I will just be restoring all of my apps pretty much once I flash this custom rom, I might as well just leave the internal card alone...
I appriciate your fast reply!

Please take my advice with caution...I did not take your point into consideration because I have yet to do it on this particular tablet (only had the Note for 1 day). Never had a problem on any other tablets/devices but who knows. I wouldn't think there would be an issue. However, like you say probably no reason to wipe internal if you will just be restoring them back anyways.

tun.ko or tap.ko?
I'm trying to get openvpn to work on REFLEX2.0 in tap mode. Looks like I need a tap.ko kernel module for either the stock kernel or the CivZ-StormBorn_Rev2.0-OC kernel. Anyone know where I might find such a thing?
---------- Post added at 03:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:54 PM ----------
I notice the CivZ-StormBorn_Rev2.0-OC kernel has no /proc/config.gz file. That means the kernel was not compiled with the CONFIG_IKCONFIG option. Is there a way to see what options are baked in to the kernel?

USB Mass Storage Unexpectedly Removed Loop
Hi,
Not sure if I am posting this in the right spot but I am getting a mass storage device unexpectedly removed loop message whenever I attached my USB flash drive? I am using the V2.1 ROM and kernel so wondering if anyone else is facing this same issue? Thanks!

i have better luck if i tap at the bottom of the softkey. it's almost as if the icon is bigger than the actual location that the press registers.
Chrome screen bug solution
Basically the problem is the notification bar, combined with the lack of on-screen softkeys. In order to fix it, you need the following:
Xposed Framework:
http://mohammadag.xceleo.org/public/Android/XposedInstallerDownloadUnsigned.apk
How it works:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
App Settings manager:
http://mohammadag.xceleo.org/public/Android/Xposed/AppSettings_0.4.apk
I've been using this combination on my tablet for a while now. It lets me change the resolution for individual apps. For instance, I want the tablet mode of Gmail, but I want my tablet to run in phablet mode so that I get the top notification bar and no softkeys.
The Chrome fix is simple. The app settings for the Chrome executable should have the fullscreen option toggled, the DPI set to 160, and the screen resolution set to 800x1200. It then hides the notification bar on top while you're in the browser, and shifts the screen that quarter of an inch where it is offset due to the Chrome bug on tablets without softkeys. If you need to access the notification bar, simply swipe down on the screen from the top edge and it will pop up.
If the print size is too small, you can use the accessibility settings in Chrome to scale up the font size.

Question
I'm thinking of flashing a new ROM having used stock for month or so now. My concern is regarding the apps I have installed and am currently using, specifically FolderMount.
If I flash a new ROM (either civs older 4.1 build or his newer 4.2 one depending on how he is progressing), will I lose the links?
I have about 25GB worth of game obb and data transferred over from my internal memory to my micro SD. I dont fancy using up all my download allowance having to re- download and install all of those (plus the time it takes to transfer them all over). I dont mind losing the layout of my homescreens as I'm thinking of shaking that up anyway.
I've only one past experience of flashing a Rom and that ended up with me having to reinstall and set up all my apps (jump from ICS to JB on my Asus TF101)
flex beam 4.2.2 download unsuccessful

desktop App Icons locked

My app icons worked fine last week as far as dragging/deleting from desktop but now if I long press on desktop, the only thing that happens is the app launches... I cannot bring up widget/wallpaper menu either by long pressing screen.
I don't believe there is any lock/unlock feature that would be causing such a problem though...using rooted stock ROM, I have flashed some other ROMS to see if this was just an issue with the stock ROM but still didn't work... malfunction maybe?
I wonder if it is dead spots on the screen. To be sure I would Odin back to stock, that's always a first step to verify it's hardware or software, but it sounds hardware related.

Would I lose my Boost Flash if I did Odin or is there any way around it? ... other than re-flashing
Odin will put everything back to stock. Maybe it's an app behaving badly. If you don't want to reset everything, back up your apps and uninstall them all and wipe dalvik, and cache and reboot and see if the problem is there, then install apps one at a time. What have you downloaded recently?
