Hey I got my phone rooted, so I installed Titanium Backup, and then I uninstalled the stock browser, the download manager, and also android.downloader or something like that. And I broke my phone - now Google Play just crashes instantly.
I've tried reinstalling the firmware, and resetting to factory, but it's still the same.
Is there anything I can do, other than take it back to the store?
Help!!!!!
EDIT: It gives the error "Unfortunately the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped."
did you do a nandroid backup?> if not we need to know the exact application you deleted. future reference DONT DELETE. just freeze then its just a simple unfreeze and a freeze also stops the app from running. you will not get more available memory by doing this because this is on a different partition. Also never delete or freeze anything referring to com.android they are core funtions that are required for your device to run properly.
You deleted a process?!
My money would be that android.download or whatever process you deleted was required for Google Play to work. Hopefully you made a Nandroid before modifying processes. If not, you'll have to flash a stock ROM to get it back.
Alternatively, if you backed up system data with Titanium Backup, you might be able to find the process in there and restore it.
Echoing drksilenc, don't uninstall things through Titanium Backup unless you're positive it won't mess something up. How can you be positive? One, deleting processes always causes problems. Even freezing them can be messy. Don't do it. Two, in the case of an app, you'll know it's ok if you've had it frozen for a week or so and the phone hasn't acted up. Even with system apps, though, I recommend freezing rather than uninstalling. It's safer, and you never know if you might want/need that app again.
It gets worse.
I went down to the Bell store (my phone's actually from Bell, but they're similar to the AT&T ones, right?) and they wouldn't exchange it. So I tried going into the Clockwork Recovery, and wiped all of the little folders in "Advanced Settings." Because I noticed that Bell's add-on apps kept coming back, why weren't the other ones I deleted? And now it's a useless brick, says SAMSUNG and that's it.
Brand new one-day old superphone, totally wrecked. I don't even think there are any stock ROM's out there for this thing yet.
I'm a meathead.
I'll try reinstalling the firmware again that I did before, maybe I'll get lucky.
Nope, still nothin'.
So now I'm going to do something really crazy. Somebody on the interwebs says you can flash the SGH-1317M with the stock rom for the GT-N7105. Says it's the same thing except it's the international version and that it's even better.
I went to samsung-updates.com and searched for the Note 2, and sure enough, it's on their list of ROMs for the Note 2. So I'm downloading the GT-N7105, and I'ma gonna install it, unless someone here tells me different!

Don't do that. For one, flashing a ROM for a different device is virtually always Detroit Brick City. Two, the guy's got two whole posts. Don't do it.

Any rom in our dev section should fix you try clean rom ans stop using titanium vackup. Why are you debloating roms when devs did it for you already and obviously you see you have no clue what you're doing?
[/COLOR]Lol... that didn't work at all... I thoughtbthe links would copy over... look in the android dev section theres a rom there for you. .. 8)

Just flash any rom in the android development section usinf twrp or cwm, it will rebuild /system and fix any issues. In the future dont delete or uninstall system apps, just freeze them if you think yiu dont need it. Freezing stops the app from running ans taking up any cpu or memory so its almost as good as deleting (it still technically takes up space but this phone has plenty of space) with nine of the dangers. If something stopped working like play store, youvcan defrost the apps yiu froze easy enough.

Yes we promise lol and dont freeze or delete anything just leave it to the devs and only download stuff from this forum i317/i317m
Sadly, failure
I downloaded CleanROM Lite 1.0.zip, put it on the SD card, and used Clockwork Recovery to install it. The installation went without a hitch, but trying to boot the phone, all I get is the SAMSUNG logo still. So I did a factory reset, wiped the cache, wiped the Dalvik cache, and did "fix permissions", but it's the same.
So I'm downloading the other ROM ("Stock Root - De-Odex") and will try that presently.

These roms take a while to boot how long did you wait. Look you didnt break your phone from deleting apps just flash the rom and wait it will boot. Remember these roms are 750-800 mb worth of data to boot not 250mb like aosp roms, takes few mins to boot

You might have been right. I'm so used to it just freezing up that maybe I wasn't patient enough and just assumed.
But it works now! I flashed the Stock ROM, and it booted up with no problems. Then I flashed the lite one again, and it works too. So now I'm going to try the other ROM on the dev page, see how it looks.
And it's still rooted, so hooray!
Thanks for all your help.
you REALLY need to do ALOT more READING, and ALOT LESS Flashing...
Hey guys,
I have searched for hours and can't find anything on this topic. I was having problems with a rooted version of stock 4.2.1 on my Sprint GNex, so I decided to do a factory reset and flash the new Black Bean ROM. Everything is good, except I should have about 16gb free, and I now only have 8gb free. I am not sure how to diagnose this.
I had done a nandroid backup prior to the wipe, but it seems to have been deleted from the partition. I can not figure for the life of me where to delete these files that would be taking up 8 extra GB. I had copied over all of my pictures, but the total size of that was `4gb.
Does anyone have any suggestions for me?

why not? It's a 32gb phone, It should have roughly 28gb free coming from the factory
My question is how do i remove the stuff that's taking up so much space, it seems that when I reloaded all my apps after the wipe, it is doubling up.
Before I wiped and flashed, i had 16-18 of 32 (really 28) GB free, now I have HALF of that
search for what is taking your memory.
relock and unlock bootloader (it will wipe everything)

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:

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?

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)

not sure how or why, but my n7 soft bricked during a reboot. i wasn't able to get into recovery at all even after reflashing twrp. i am unlocked/rooted so i flashed stock images which worked as the tablet was able to boot. however, it unfortunately wiped my storage. is there any way to recover that data? i've been unable to find anything that has been able to scan it for deleted files. im most concerned about my titanium backups. thanks for any recommendations.

May wanna give this post a read: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47623410. It's very well written and explains how storage works on Nexus devices.
If it's too long, and you don't feel like reading... Bottom line, I'm afraid you're out of luck. Sorry for your loss. This is why I always keep copies of my nandroid and TiBu backups off the device in case this happens. Also, I have Dropbox and Google+ backup all my pics and vids to the cloud since I've already fallen victim to losing them once before.

For sure. I still remember that feeling in the pit of my stomach when I realized I had just accidentally deleted the camera folder on my GNex. That's why I went total overkill and have both Dropbox and Google+ backup all my pics and videos. I swore, "Never again!"
I went to use my tablet before bed, and I found it on, very dim, with the standard Samsung logo displayed. It was stuck, so I had to hold the power button and volume buttons down to reset it. After that, it would take close to 3 minutes to boot, be at a black screen, and come up with a standard Android error box saying: "Process system isn't responding." with the "Wait" or "OK" options. Pressing wait made the box go away, the screen stay black (albeit with the time and battery visible), and nothing happened. Pressing "OK" made the system reboot and start the whole process over.
After a couple times of this, I took out the SD card to see if it was the culprit, and then started in safe mode. Safe mode started properly, and everything worked fine (minus all my applications being gone because they're on the card). I turned it off, inserted the card, and restarted. It loaded properly again, however this time, it wouldn't load any widgets and several of my icons were just missing. There was no corrolation to what was appearing properly and what wasn't that I could find. I restarted from the menu again, and it started the black screen error screen process again. I'm kind of at a loss, because I have no idea what this means.
I'd obviously love to go without wiping the device, but even more obviously am willing to before accepting defeat. It's on the stock 5.0.4 image (the Korean one ¬_¬), and I'm unlocked and rooted, though nothing fancy has been done. Is this hardware? Software? Anyone run into this before? Every search I did ended up with someone having it be a ROM issue, but since I'm not on a ROM, I don't know where to go from here. :-/ Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
I couldn't take a screenshot of the black screen, but I've attached what it looked like when everything failed to load. Facebook and Google Play Books should be on the bottom menu, and a lot of my drawers are missing a ton of apps. However, Hearthstone and Fenix still show up, both of which are on my SD card. I'm so confused.
It looks like the os has become corrupt somehow. Reflash the stock firmware from sammobile or samsung-updates.
By the way a Rom is the operating system software.

Do you know how that would happen? Is it random? I'm trying to figure out what caused it. :-/ Are there any good 5.1 ROMs you would recommend? May as well go there if I have to reflash everything anyway.
The widget errors on your picture, have you moved the apps to you microsd, when you remove your microsd and reboot, the widgets cannot find the data as it was on the microsd.

This picture was taken while the SD card was in and functioning. Several of the games and apps I have show up on there as well. The top widget in the picture is just a clock widget, which is on the main device.
If it starts ok in safe mode then you probably need to do a data partition wipe as something is corrupt.
Back up everything you need and then wipe data/reset in recovery.

So I tried a couple ROMs out, and I'm having a few problems:
- None of them account for a tablet-sized screen, so the pull-down part of status/notification bar is teeny-tiny and my sausage fingers mash all the buttons. I don't suppose there's any way to make it the same size as the stock bar?
- When I'm playing a game (not even anything graphic-intensive) the back of the tablet gets insanely hot. Specifically the top-right portion of it. This never happened before...is this a general problem?
- When I'm playing music or noises through bluetooth, the sound is delayed by as much 5 seconds. If I tap play, the tablet will play it, but it won't start coming out of the speaker for 5 seconds.
Are these fairly common? Any advice? I was thinking of just going back to stock 5.0.2 so I don't have to whine.
