Had perfectly running tablet until I installed the latest recommended update. Now none of the buttons function. I can't even power off device with power button it only restarts. Anyone else having this issue or have a fix other than factory reset?
What have you done?
Nothing so far, problems started occurring after applying latest update. Side power button does not show power options anymore, can only restart after holding button in. Bottom buttons don't work.
I have a kk note 8.0 that I have been messing with on KK issues. Use to backup and freeze the update or remove it. It really does not do any th8ng but disable tweaks and mods from rooting. Many have seen issues from it.
How do you remove update without doing factory reset or is that not possible?
If you have rooted, install ti backup if youhave not already, and search for security, and it should list one with more info in the name.. should have 1.1 or 2.2 near the end of the name.
the file name should be explanitory. depending on what you have installed, you may see more files with security shown in the list. you want to identify the file in red, as red is used fo r system files.
tap on the file and select remove in the upper right.
if ti backup is too complicated... you may find the app in app manager listed in all apps. you may be able to disable the app, as i recall that you are given adisclamer during the install, about how to disable its function.

Last night I installed Manilla2D, then the GPS - all worked excellent (didn't get satellites, but didn't go outside - beside the point), until I tinkered with the weather XML file and installed the rest of the files for M2D in the "Not necessary but recommended" folder. Having installed so much at once, I am not sure what caused this problem.
Problem: certain events aren't happening - weather module used to work with any city in the default list - now, clicking a city just brings me back to the screen that says "select a city", and the unresponsiveness continues to other programs. So I began uninstalling a couple that I thought may be the culprit, and now on startup, I get a "tap here to launch touchFlo". After tapping, it says launching, then it goes back to "Tap here to launch touchFlo...".
At this point, what do I do? So far I haven't done anything but install CAB files. Is there some way to just restore this to whatever state (even factory defaults, etc)?
you can go into settings and click on clear storage to reset everything. Keep in mind you will lose all personal data including contacts, so back every thing up.
You could also try going to settings then remove programs and start uninstalling programs one at a time untill you find the culprit.
Which update did you install? The latest is update 20, but update 21 is an elfin update so that's the one I picked. (The Elfin is a t least related to the vogue, update 20 is meant for ALL htc devices)
Another thing, what did you mean by "then gps"?
The proper order would be to have an upgraded radio first, then install M2D
The only known fool proof way to completely remove M2D itself is a hard reset. While this is true for M2D itself, you can try selectivley unloading the "extras" starting with the last and testing one by one.
BTW, a hard reset is done by holding the power and camera buttons down together while pressing the soft rest button.
ROM EviLocity 1.0 Android 2.2 Rabid ROM ----- Elocity A7+ ONLY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Main features:
- Fully rooted with proper edit to boot.img for ro.secure+0 in the default.prop
- Based on last official 3.0022 firmware ( All A7+ no old A7 components).
- Edited proper default prop to 0,1,1,1 instead of 1,0,0,0
- Removed bloat apps
- Added EStrong Suite - Task, Security, and File Manager, and Rootexplorer.
- WiFi tweaks.
- Build.prop edits for performance, ram consumption (360MB free, varies).
- 1% Battery MOD
- Some graphics and font changes
- Duplicated libraries deleted.
- Some build.prop tweaks to improve performance, wifi responsiveness, and better ram consumption, etc
- Use UOT screen transitions
- New boot animation. "Zombies" ( unfortunately the system boots so fast now, you only get to see the whole thing the first boot. LOL)
- As far a testing goes everything works
Issues - None it did not have already(so far). Still has the SOD (sleep of death) issue. I have found that utilities that can set WiFi to "sleep never" help and I used Overclock widget to set the minimum power to 500MHZ. The system by default drops to about 150-200MHZ and when it drops that low it seems to hang. I have also found having something plugged into the USB can be removed and replaced quickly and the remount causes it to let you take it out of sleep. Perhaps other overclock tool can do the same and work better?
Download EviLocityV1.0
When installing an 8GB or smaller microsd works well.
Install Instructions:
This runs like a normal update so you should still have your apps, but the following is the best way to flash this ROM. Either way backup your files before using.
If by using this mod the world comes to and end, or you are suddenly sucked back in time only to accidentally kill your grandfather leaving your future uncertain, I take no responsibility for the consequences. Oh yeah. same thing if it screws up your tablet.
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. REMEMBER TO BACKUP ANY THING YOU WANT SAVE BEFORE FOLLOWING THESE INSTRUCTIONS. THIS WILL WIPE YOUR TABLET TO A CLEAN FACTORY-ISH STATE.
I have not tried using the built in update process in the system settings, feel free to give it a shot first, but this is the best way in MHO. Always have at least 50% battery but better still be plugged into power.
1. Copy the the update.zip file to a microsd either directly on your PC or through USB to the tablet external drive. In this case /sdcard/sdcard-disk0. Make sure it is the only update file on the card.
NEVER INSTALL ANY UPDATE FROM THE INTERNAL STORAGE. If something should go wrong you could be stuck with that same image reloading every time you try to go into recovery and you may never have a way to remove or get past it.
2. With the tablet powered off power on by holding down power button for two seconds, then release and press again and hold until you see the message " Hold power for 5 sec...."
3. Release power after the message "booting recovery kernel".
4. Wait until the Android with the triangle and exclamation over it's head pops up.
5. Press the home button to bring up the recovery menu. Use back to move down, and menu to select
6. Scroll down and select Wipe data & cache, then select Yes delete all user data . The tablet will reboot, just press and hold power until you see the recovery loading message again.
7. When complete select Wipe cache partition and wait until complete.
8. Select Apply update from external sdcard.
9. Scroll to the update.zip file and select it.
10. Wait for it to complete then select Reboot system now when prompted. Device will go through a few screen changes just sit back and wait for the boot animation.
The first boot will be slow as it has to rebuild the cache.
Thank you for the custom rom, everything functions well. However, visually, it's atrocious.
thank you. can't wait to try this rom out. im getting my A7+ in 3 weeks.

does this rom have the play store or market?
it does not.
found some issues
Okay after fooling around with it for a week.i have some questions;
The mic no longer works and when you have to enter a date, the dails always reset to 2014. Is this just me? Do you have any suggestions?
Awesome Post. Thanks

Hi all,
I am trying to update my 10.1 tab 3 device through the relevant entry in settings, but I get an error about my "device is modified".
I hard reseted the device, and I am still getting the same error. What can be happening?
Maybe you have root your tablet or install new recovery ?
Press and hold power, home, and volume down. You will see a warning screen then press volume up to enter Odin mode on the tablet and check the binary number. If its not 0 your device is modified and you can't update it. You must restore the original Samsung firmware without Root or something else on your device.
No, I have not rooted my tablet. I have only isntalled a few apps from the play store.
I tried to hard reset a few times without any success. I think that erasing everything from the sd card, solved the problem (after a hard reset).
I don't know why, and which app has placed what on the sd card.
I had really few apps, kindle, skype, oasvn, and some apps related to night sky maps. And the official vnc viewer app.
I've been trying to install Game killer (the equivalent of CheatEngine on PC) except I ran into a very unusual problem. I've been using "Application installer". I would provide a link to the app, but I seems that the site won't let me.
The problem is that when I try to install the Game killer .apk through this installer app, I get to the usual permissions interface where I see what permissions the apk needs and all that. What's strange is that I cannot seem to click the Install button. I can interact with every other part of the screen, but I simply cannot hit the install button. Even pressing my finger onto the install button and then sliding towards the "Back" button will cause the back button to illuminate like it usually does, but I still cannot select the install button.
I'm running stock ROM, stock Kernels, stock everything. Device is rooted. I can install apps from google play just fine, but of course, Gamekiller is not on the play store.
I ran into a similar problem when I installed a screen rotation app. With the rotation app intstalled I could not install any other apps that were not from the app store. Once I removed the rotation app everything was fine. This a security feature in android to prevent apps from modifying your screen without you knowing it. Check if you have installed any app that could have modified your screen.
I had the same issue on mine, the app total screen control was the culprit. I couldn't get apps to install when TSC was active.
Are you using any type of screen filters? If you are, disable them and it should be able to work now.
Hey Everybody
I have troubles since i clicked a button in my status bar. I removed EVERYTHING from my home and lock screen (i cant even tell witch one i see). There are no Icons at all. only my desktop background is visible and working (animated bubbles). there is no button working except from power button (and its menu to restart). a friend of mine was able to get a screenshot with some button-combination (vol+ + home?)
first: i am not an expert with android, but have a lot of experience in working with Linux shells.
what i have done:
maybe it has something to do with it or not, i don’t know:
i enabled multi view / multi window or extended desktop (sorry i don’t know the name, and as there is nothing shown...)
i opened my status bar and there were some new icons (next to the small watch in the right corner), witch i haven’t seen so far and clicked it. than it opened a "new" screen with only my background.
as i thought it is maybe only a "dead" app i tried to restart my phone. but: there is only that screen working. no PIN question, or something.
i tried to reset dalvic and normal cache. -> no change.
i use RESURRECTION REMIX 5.7.3. on N7100
Recovery TWRP 3.0.2-0 is still working and
i hope somebody can help me to solve my problem without factory resetting. i wont reinstall everything.
thanks a lot
Are you able to restore a TWRP back up? You could try flashing the ROM again without wiping.
theoretically, yes, but i did not have on. so i cannot flash it.
i am searching for an commandline option to change the settings. but i have no clue where to search, and in what files the configuration lies...
