[Q] status and multi-user not working - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

When I try to open Settings>About tablet>Status, I get a popup telling me that Settings has crashed. Also, I can create a new user, but when I try to set it up, it instantly soft-reboots and does not allow me to use or set up the new account. Has anyone ever had/seen this problem? Help would be much appreciated!
Info: I am running stock rooted JSS15R that I got from here*. I am also using the Xposed Framework with the "MoDaCo Toolkit," "GravityBox," "Play Store links in App info" and "Hotword From Results" modules.
*New user, cannot post links. The ROM is from scottsroms.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=457

[Q] Xperia Arc and Torbot experience

Hello fellow Arc users.
I want to listen to Pandora.com in Europe. On my computer I'm all set with Tor network. I have looked for similar solution on Android and there is Torbot. Problem is that it doesn't work for me. It gives error about transparent proxy building problems.
I'm on Arc Knight Rc2.2(Jimbo is not answering dm's) kernel and Team Xperia Tweaked v3.0 Rom (ICS 4.0.4).
Opinions, solutions, appreciated.
-----Solution------
Spent some time playing around with Torbot and found solution. Here it is:
Typical error is: Transparent proxy not woking. Problem is caused by iptables Orbot is using. It appears app has their own solution and it is not working with Android 4.0.4 (ICS).
Step by step solution.
1. In settings enable root access
2. Check Transparent Proxying
3. Check "Use default Iptables" under Debug section.
Now when I check if I'm using tor, it still shows that I'm not but it might be because I'm not using tor for browsing.
To listen to Pandora.com on Android I have done these additional steps:
4. Install Android market enabler - (can't post link as this is my first post). You won't be able to install it from Play if you are outside US. It just won't show it in search results.
5. Choose US based market. Save restore point to go back to your home market id.
6. In phone browser go to pandora.com and choose download option through Play.
7. In Torbot settings edit "Exit nodes" and type in "{us}". This restricts Tor to US.
8. Under "Sellect Apps" choose Pandora
9. Launch Pandora and enjoy music. Don't forget to buy Pandora One and support artists
If this helped you, don't hesitate and hit Thanks.
Try DroidVPN. I used to use it on GB but with the latest ICS 4.0.4 Stock ROM, my phone just reboots. Since you're on a Custom ROM, you shouldn't face the same issue.
Cheers!

[ROM][4.4] LucidPhusion v1.1 - THE LG EXPERIENCE! [LOCK SCREEN][<650MB][KERNEL]

LucidPhusion - 4.4 for D802
"You can wait for LG, or you can get Surreal."
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
This ROM is based on AOSP KitKat. I wanted to release something before the holidays, so LucidPhusion was born! This is as close as you're going to get to the G2 experience on KitKat! Most G2 items are present, a few are not, and a few new items have been added. But as with any custom ROM, I aim to make this better than stock, so I think everyone will be pleased...
I have tested as much as possible, above and beyond. However, if someone finds a bug or error, please let me know. DO NOT PM me as others may have the same issue and it is better to answer it once here than a thousand times through PMs.
Please read this OP carefully before posting questions as many answers can be found here. To reiterate, PLEASE READ THIS OP CAREFULLY BEFORE POSTING QUESTIONS. Other answers may already be in the posts of this thread...
CHANGES
v1.1
-LG G2 Lock Screen added
-LG G2 Weather added
-LG G2 Weather Widget added
-LG G2 Application Manager added
-Changed status bar to hide
-Changed status bar to be transparent
-Status bar can be pulled down during lock screen
-Google Play Store manual update added
-Custom kernel added
v1.0
-All my normal goodies, including GPS, APN, ad blocking, and speed & battery tweaks
-Enhanced sound
-LG G2 QuickRemote
-LG G2 Keyboard
-LG G2 Launcher
-LG G2 apps (most)
-Themed app alternatives
LG CAMERA
The LG camera included is far from perfect, but it will get the job done! There are a couple issues such as front-facing camera, burst mode, and panorama create FC's. It is recommended to install another camera for these features.
The ROM has been set to a different DPI so that the title of some apps are not hidden. However, this makes the LG camera resize its viewing area to be smaller. It does not hinder quality or take smaller pictures, but this can be an annoyance for some. If you wish to reverse this, please check ISSUES & FIXES.
WIRELESS STORAGE
"Wireless Storage" is an actual app, it just doesn't show up anywhere but in the pull-down settings of the stock G2 ROM. I went ahead and found the easiest alternative imaginable called, "WiFi File Transfer".
Open the app and click "Start Service". There will be a FTP address. Do not place this address in a web browser, open up My Computer and type the address into that window. A web browser will only allow downloading (not uploading) from the phone.
NAVBAR TRANSPARENCY ENABLER
If the need for extra real estate is a must, then I've got you covered! Download and flash this file. This ZIP will install an app called "full!screen".
Enable Soft Keys
1) When the phone reboots open "full!screen".
2) The app will look for root, grant root permissions when prompted.
NOTE: It may state that no root is found at first, but about 2-3 minutes later a popup will appear asking to grant root permissions.
3) If the button to enable "full!screen mode" is still grayed out, reboot the phone.
4) Open "full!screen" again, and click the "full!screen mode" button.
5) The native navbar and soft keys are now gone and replaced by two unobtrusive soft keys.
NOTE: If using TWRP, do not flash this with other ZIPs.
Flash this file to delete the "full!sceen" app and enable the native soft keys.
KNOCKON ENABLER
There are two options to have a fuller KnockOn experience:
Lock Screen Widget - KnockOff
1) Download and flash the "Lock Screen Widget".
2a) Open the app.
2b) OPTIONAL: Go into "Lock Icon Options" and configure the app to be invisible and at its largest size. Position it somewhere on the home screen (the center is ideal).
4) Click on the widget to get an activation screen, and confirm.
5) Click the invisible widget to lock the screen.
Lock Screen Widget - ShakeOff
1) Download and flash the "Lock Screen Widget".
2) Open the app.
3) Turn off "Show lock icon".
4) Turn on "Shake lock".
5) Shake the phone for a few seconds to get an activation screen, and confirm.
6) The phone will now lock the screen when shaken.
Flash this file to delete the "Lock Screen Widget" app.
QUESTIONS
Will there be an odexed version?
No.
There's something I want, can you add it?
Maybe. It depends on if I think it will benefit everyone, and how much it adds to the ROM. Post a request.
Will this work with my variant?
No. If you want a port, PM me about it so you can test for me if and when I decide to do so. Requests can also be made for variants in the thread.
Why don't you use an AROMA installer?
I experimented with the newest version, but it is just overly convoluted with menu pages and could be confusing when trying to determine how to actually flash the ROM. I had decent success with an older version, but in both versions, there were times where the installer would not go back to recovery and would cause a boot loop from not installing properly. The old methods are best.
I want such-and-such app, can you put it in the ROM?
Not likely, unless it is a G2 app (that works) I have overlooked.
Is there different keyboards?
No. There is just the LG G2 keyboard.
Can I flash this zip even though my recovery doesn't "lokify" items (e.g. kernels)?
You should be able to flash on any available recovery without issue.
ISSUES & FIXES
After First Boot - I am asked to choose between the Home or Lock Screen launchers after completing the phone setup. What do I do?
Click on "Home" and select "Always".
After First Boot - When I first boot up I get an error message that brings me to Google Play Services in the Play Store. What do I do?
Go to Settings>Apps>ALL and click on Google Account Manager. Uncheck the "Show notifications" box and confirm.
After First Boot *OPTIONAL* - I want to update Google Play Store to the newest release. What do I do?
"Easy Installer" has been installed with the latest ROM (and can be uninstalled). The most recent release of the Google Play Store has been copied to the SD card of the phone. Enable "Unknown sources" under Settings>Security first, then open "Easy Installer" and wait until it finishes loading. Select Google Play Store and click "Install".
After First Boot *WARNING* - I changed some settings for the lock screen and now it just gets stuck on the lock screen. What do I do?
It is recommended to NEVER OPEN the lock screen settings. Once opened it will begin to cause this issue. However, if you really want to change the few settings available, there are two fixes: a) The best option is to wait until the screen turns itself off. Once it does, it will go back to normal. b) For a quick, but temporary fix click the soft key for apps opened and dismiss all.
NOTE: On reboot, the lock screen will get stuck again.
The lock screen is not present. What do I do?
The lock screen may take a second or two to appear.
Some apps do not seem to work properly. What do I do?
Change the date and time. Changing just the timezone should adjust everything else accordingly.
LG SmartWorld gives me a message that my phone model is not supported. What do I do?
Unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done about this until LG makes the appropriate fixes. It will work for some, and not for others.
I would prefer to have a full viewing screen in the LG camera in exchange for partially hidden titles of some apps. What do I do?
Use the "BuildProp Editor" included in the ROM. Open the app and type "density" into the search bar. Only one value should appear. Change the value to "480" and reboot the phone.
The LG G2 keyboard is in single-hand mode. What do I do?
There is a small keyboard icon on the bottom of the keyboard itself. Press the icon and choose the dual-hand option.
I want to use a different keyboard, but I get a FC after pressing "Open" in the Google Play Store. What do I do?
Go to Settings>Language & input and check the box for the new keyboard, then change the default keyboard to the new one.
I am using the "WiFi File Transfer", but I can't upload any files. What do I do?
Open up My Computer and type the FTP address into that window. A web browser will only allow downloading (not uploading) from the phone.
I used the NAVBAR TRANSPARENCY ENABLER, but on a reboot the soft keys aren't showing. What do I do?
Give the soft keys about 30 seconds and they will show.
APN FIX
This should actually be under ISSUES & FIXES, but I decided it should be more prominent. If there is no mobile data after flashing this ROM perform one of these methods:
Simple Method
Revert to stock ROM (or any custom ROM where mobile data does work).
Download this file and this file.
Extract the contents of "APN2.rar" to a folder on your PC.
Double-click "APN2SD.bat" and follow the instructions. OR, double-click "APN2FOLDER.bat" and follow the instructions.
NOTE: If you clicked the "APN2SD.bat", the "apns-conf.xml" file will be on the SD card of your phone. If you clicked the "APN2FOLDDER.bat", the "apns-conf.xml" file will be in the folder you extracted the contents to.
Use 7z or WinRAR to open the "FlashAPN.zip" (do not extract the contents).
Go to /system/etc/
Place the "apns-conf.xml" file inside the "etc" folder of "FlashAPN.zip".
Put "FlashAPN.zip" on your phone's SD card.
Flash LucidPhusion.
Boot into recovery.
Flash "FlashAPN.zip".
Reboot into the OS.
The correct APN settings should now display.
Manual Method
Revert to stock ROM (or any custom ROM where mobile data does work).
Download and open a file explorer like Root Explorer or ES Explorer.
Go to /system/etc
Copy "apns-conf.xml".
Go to /sdcard/
Paste "apns-conf.xml".
Flash LucidPhusion.
Download a file explorer and open it.
Copy "apns-conf.xml".
Go to /system/etc
Paste "apns-conf.xml" (overwriting the existing file).
Reboot the phone.
Mobile data should now work.
Please also send me a copy of the "apns-conf.xml" via PM so that I can include it in any future updates.
INSTALLATION
1) Do a Factory Reset.
2) Flash the ZIP.
3) Follow the steps for first-time booting in ISSUES & FIXES (including Google Play update!).
OPTIONAL I: Flash the Navbar and/or KnockOn ENABLERs.

No offense but funny why you would assume stock rom better than custom rom? Long time ago people start to develop custom rom and abandon stock rom because custom rom is way better

That is total BS! Till this day the Stock ROM from @g.lewarne and CleanROM XE both with custom kernel from @g.lewarne are by far THE best ROMs considering battery/performance balance and NONE of the custom ROMs has come even near that and I have tried CarbonROM 4.3.1, CM 10.2, CM11, PA 3.99 and PA 4.0. Battery life with those 2 stock baby's is just insane! They are all very nice, stable and perform very good. But stock beats them all for me. And I can't wait for stock 4.4 cause I know it will be my next daily driver.
PS: I do however agree that stock is not the best looking ROM out there. KK is the winner in that category.
Sound Good
Are pop up call and pop up sms features there ? For me this is the best feature from Stock, at least for me , IF not could you please add them
Use file explore. Go back.to another aosp or lg rom, download a apn back up app. Back up apns. Reflash rom. Open file cmfile explorer . Open app apn back up. Hot restore from back up and BOOOOOOM!
I got data on my D801?????WHAT U TALKIN BUT WILLIS

****If u are on anything besides d802 you must swap boot.img from another rom similar that is your variant and flash kernel for your variant afterwards. ##***FILE MANAGER in playstore.app has yellow folder and little gear on the front. Must open apo settings, enable root and mount system.
Agter that simple copy and paste or over ride --☺

Easy fix for issue with unsatisfactory experience with ROM. Bugger off and don't post negative opinions in a development thread. Nothing personal but the amount of time and energy I and many others have spent just trying to help devs much less code myself is unbelievable. We just had a Thanksgiving Holiday, wish people could learn to be thankful. Sorry for the rant.

Cant install any other keyboard (I'm not using the LG one cuz it sucks bigtime for me), Settings FCs.
I miss the option to have a navbar button that pulls down the Statusbar, my thumb aint that long !
Anyway, going back to PAC or Stock. Every ROM that I've tried from you has some kind of errors that make the ROM unuseable for me :/,
I still appreciate your work tho.

you no need to post that, if rom is no good to you simple do'nt use, for me stock is like trash.
matheus_sc, your post is completely useless.
I found a bug and made a suggestion. In addition, you got a piece of my mind concerning the ROM.
If you dont like what I wrote, then just back off.
If I didnt have any bugs to report or to suggest a feature, I wouldnt have posted at all.
Anyway, I will keep watching this ROM for bugfixex/additional features, because I like the general idea.
Keep up the good work, Heatshiver!

[Q] Multi User not working

Hey
I want to use multi user, but when I try to add a new User or Restricted profile a Error Dialog "Unfortunately, settings has stopped" occurs.
I'm running the latest Paranoidandroid 4.5-Beta2 on my Nexus 7 2012.
Has someone a idea how to get it work?

[Q] Badge App icon aka notification counter

Hi,
After I updated to android 5.1.1 on my S6 edge Ive lost my badge app icon aka notification count for whats app textra and other apps that used to show notification counts on them prior to the update ( android 5.0.2). I am using the normal touchwiz launcher that came with my phone. I have used it as well before the update. I was wondering if anyone has experienced the same problem since updating with apps other than stock apps.
Hi lebdeb85,
I am experiencing the exact same issues as you are. The badge continues to work for FB, Pinterest, Drippler, Email... but stopped working for WhatsApp, Textra, FB Page Manager and other applications. I have yet to find any more information about this problem. Did you make any progress??

Hi Biggaboss,
Nope no progress at all, I contacted T-mobile. The Tmobile rep downloaded whats app and had the same problem. He told me those app developers have to probaby update their app to be up to date to the new software. I contacted whats app and no reply. I contacted textra and I have been in communication with them. I also contacted Samsung and the rep said same thing as Tmobile. So I guess we'd have to wait for an update to those apps. As far as other way around I tried Nova Launcher with Tesla unread but didnt like the fact that when you swipe a notification it clears the count as well so I am back to touchwiz.

Textra people replied and they are working on it, as for whats app they replied and it worked.. This is the solution they provided
1. If you are able to open WhatsApp, create a manual backup by opening [WhatsApp] > [Menu Button] > [Settings] > [Chat Settings] > [Back up chats].
2. Delete WhatsApp by going to [System Settings] > [Manage applications] > [WhatsApp] > [Uninstall].
3. Access whatsapp.com/android from your phone
4. Tap "Download now" - the file will download as an APK file.
5. Open the APK file. Installation will begin automatically.
I believe the app has been updated on their website

Ledbed85,
Thanks for your reply. It is good to know that Textra is working on it as I like that app a lot. I was thinking about trying Nova Launcher, but did not like how it displayed the notification bubble, so decided to wait and keep using touchwiz. I will try the Whatsapp solution you described and hopefully that will work. It is also good to know that we simply may have to wait until everybody upgrades their apps and know it is not a problem on our end.
Thanks again,
Ricardo

I tried your steps and it worked to perfection. I didn't need to uninstall the current version of whatsapp, just went directly to the website, downloaded and installed the new .apk and restarted my phone. Now the badge is working again. Thank you so much for your help.

Question Changing default file manager app

Is there a way to change the default file manager app without rooting or using custom rom? Xiaomi file manager has so many ads and i want to change it to google files.
i think you can remove - some of the - the ads by going to settings and disabling the "show recommandations" - chinese for show ads
there's a lot of those toggles in miui, also in the security, browser, search in the miui forum there was a guide on where to find them all.
or easier, just go for a custom rom
im not to sure you need to set it default, just install the google version from google play and open that insted of the xiaomi version.
youcant really remove it since it's ibstalled as a system app.
