Just installed 3.2. I flashed what I'm pretty sure is the latest version of gapps after but there is no market app. I am also curious as to whether I will be charged for using the hotspot since it is the sprint version of the app.

well i have been running it for a while now, and i dont know why you installed gapps after, i havent needed it, its all there in the rom, do a fresh install, if you are restoring apps dont restore the data, simply restore the apps, if you need any of the regular apps that are not preinstaled with the rom simply go to vaelpak setting, flashable mods, then apps, and you will find what you need there, and no the hotspot its free, hope it helps if not pm me, and ill ghuide you thru, been running it for a while now and havent had any trouble and i do mess with it a lot.
more info: also if you need to uninstall any apps that are consider system app inside vaelpak settings under device settings and other the is an option to safely uninstall system apps.
more info2: remember this is a sense rom, not asop, doesnt look like sense much, but it is
I was double installing google apps so it wasn't allowing me to sync my google account. I have had to flash them with all the roms that I have ran in the past, so I just did it out of habit for this one. Everything seems to be working great now. Thanks.

The only roms you have to flash gapps is with AOSP roms. Anything based on Sense, don't have to.
Hello friends!
I have a SGSL XXKPH Rooted & Deodexed. I am using Titanium Backup Pro for managing my softwares and backup. Problem is that whenever I try to remove any stock software through Titanium Backup Pro, it does remove the software but my phone automatically restarts after that. This wasnt happening before I Deodexed my phone. I ever tried other softwares like Nitrality but the same problem persists.
Can you please help me with this problem? I dont think the phone should restart automatically if I remove a stock software. Is this normal after Dedoxing or is there a problem?
Thank you.

I am using paid Titanium backup pro and have used the free version also. I can confirm that removing any system apps DOES NOT restart the phone. Better remove Titanium itself, reboot and reinstall from market so as to have latest version.
Do as above said
And also check whether you have activated usb debugging mode?

What busybox version you got?
what app you trying to remove?
And have you tried mybackup?

Titanium backup installed his own busybox so it has not to depend upon device busybox.
I have once this problem when i flashed skin beta cf root kernel.
But it's long time ago with beta kernel testing.
Please tell how you root your device.

try to use
1. SGS tools: go to "Cleanup System App". It can make backup of removed applications
2. nitrality: go to "Applications" and uncheck unneeded applications
Both of them are free and can be found at the market
Either use TB to convert app to user app then delete, or, easier if you use sgs chlorine to delete lots of apps at the same time

Hi,
I recently updated my Hercules T989 to Jellybean 4.1.2 via Kies. When I was on ICS, I could easily uninstall the t-mobile stock apps(or any other stock apps) using Titanium Backup Pro. But after upgrading to JB 4.1.2, I cant uninstall a single stock app. I tried updating Titanium backup pro from 4.1 to 4.5.6 but its still the same. It can freeze the apps but one app: 't-mobile accounts' unfreezes itself. I dont know how it happens. By the way, the device is rooted.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Are you sure Titanium Backup has root permissions? Check your Superuser app log and make sure they're being granted. You need root access for Titanium Backup to be able to remove/freeze system apps (like the built-in stuff).

Yes, I have checked it. TB has been granted root permissions. TB successfully freezes all my system apps. But only one app - "T-Mobile My Accounts" unfreezes itself automatically after a while. I dont know how or why that happens. All my other system apps stay frozen except that one single app. And about uninstalling, none of the system apps can be uninstalled. When I run the batch operation to uninstall, it shows the progress bar but gets stuck at 0%. No progress at all.

Sounds like you are using a stock based ROM then. So you will have to live with that app. Otherwise you may cause problems by trying to delete or freeze it. Anybody that is determined to remove it, you can use a root based file explorer and delete the apk from the system/app folder. Backup the app somewhere by copying & pasting it in another folder, so you can replace it later if you start experiencing issues.

Sorry for the noob question but what's "nightly"?
Oops my bad. Thought you mentioned that you flashed the custom ROM. The nightlies are of the custom ROM currently being developed by arco68, CM10.1.
Referring to the this post in first version there was some wifi issues, i guessed also in second.
Any other have save problem?

The link you pasted is for rooting. The nightlies is a cm10.1 custom rom thats being updated 'nightly' or atleast once a day. Your problem however is based on your firmware and not because of root access. Try to flash to CM10.1 (26-08-2013 version) and see of your problem still occurs.
You can find it over at the 'GS4 mini Android development' section. (sorry cant link you atm because of xda app.)

I'm not sure If you will lose data. Since I don't know if it'll format the cache /data folder and dalvik in the process.
If I for instance update my CM to a newer CM i will not lose my personal data (I do that through CWM recovery without wiping cache or dalvik), not sure if thats the same for stock to stock flashing (which you do through odin), but I believe you're safe.
Last but not least you can always flash back to the prerooted stock rom If ofc you have the firmware (with backup) or do the rooting process yourself which is fairly easy.
Or like whosat mentioned before, flash to cm10.1 (which imho is better than Samsung stock roms).

I see now, perhaps mentioning debloating in your first post would be great!
The AllShare apps is the cause of your problem, like most AllShare plugins it uses the sharing functions of the phone like Wifi tethering and the other Samsung connectivities of which most of them is considered bloatware. Removing them on stock firmware will cause some programs to not work propertly as the system still thinks the application is installed (integrated into os) while you've deleted the system/app apk from your device.

I know this is the most secure way but not the fastest flash, root, remove (and i don't know if every set and every data stay in its own place).
So if someone can spend 2 minutes for me i'll be very graceful :angel:
Solved!
re-flashed stock rom, re-rooted, re-debloated (this time keeping Allshare apps ).

I WAS WRONG!
Now i controlled every step and the guilty is the rooting procedure:
flashing stock rom -> ok
flashing rootkit -> ko
nothing else in the middle.
How it's possible this is a only mine problem?
Finally (after tens of attempts) i understood:
the smoked gun is in the right hand of avast (its firewall), even using white list method and (obviusly) not blocking any system app.
Is this a notorius fact?
What happens after the root ?
Do I have to run factory reset ?
Do all my settings stay the same ?
Do I now have the SD app and media transfer capabilities ?
Any feedback and info will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks guys
You should just Google that question and read about why you should root. Google is your friend.

Nothing.
No.
Yes.
No.
Rooting just gives you access to the system partition. That is it. Nothing else. It does this by adding a system app that acts as a gateway over what apps can and can't have acecss to making changes to the system partition.
Once oyu are rooted you then can use apps and other tricks to add thigns like SD stoarge and stuff like that.

2 questions for you:
what Android and baseband versions is your S4 on?
what are you interested in doing after rooting? do you want to stay near-stock or change/customize everything?
I think I am going to use CyanogenMod Installer and be done with it. This seems to be the simplest and most safe solution for newbies like me.
Plus Cyanogen is really close to Kitkat UI so I will just go with that.
One question though:
I know that I don't have to root my phone to use the installer, is the phone being rooted using the installer ? Or does it stay unrooted with the new OS ?

KitKat is not a UI. KitKat is a version of the Android operating system. The UI is determined by the ROM, which uses the operating system as a base.
You will find that Cyanogen UI is VERY different from the stock TouchWiz ROM UI that you have now. (You may like it better. Half of custom romusers prefer AOSP roms like CM over stock ROMs like TouchWiz or Sense. Half the people hate them. It's all about prefernce)
As fro root, root is not in the phone. Root is in the operating system itself. Cyanogen comes with root preinstalled, so by installing CM you will have root. All custom roms are pre-rooted like this. All root really is is an app in the system partition called Superuser. That's it.
Thanks for the info again.
My friend is trying to back up his data before we both proceed with the CyanogenMod Installer but has difficulties with backing up third party apps. He says he can back up Samsung apps with no problem but there is always a problem with third party apps. Any recommendation on good backup app ? He also purchased Titanium backup but he needs to root his phone to use it.
That's for my friend now I have one more question:
Will I have googleapps with cyanogenmod installer right from the start ? I still want to use google play store, gmail, google maps and so forth.

Just root the phone first and make your back ups.
CF Auto root. It takes 30 seconds. It's the easiest thing in the world. You literally CANNOT screw it up.
Root hte phone, make backups, then install CM.
Also, Helium backup is what I use. Makes everything into a clean batch operation. And it's free. But you need to be rooted.
If I don't need to back anything up should I still root my phone ? As you mentioned before CM Installer comes with the root.
And also after the CM is installed will I have an option to go back to my previous system ?
Will it install Stock Recovery ? And what does that mean ? I am sorry I am really new to all this. Just trying to learn.

You can always go back via odin (search and ye shall find more aboit odin). Just install CM and be done with it. Take the plunge.

After CM installation using CM installer, do I get all google apps installed ? Such as Gmail, Maps, Google Voice Search ?
And is lookout app working with CM ?

Not sure with the cm installer but I don't think so. Tge gapps package doesnt come with cm when you flash it in recovery. But its easy to do. Just download gapps, they are in every single rom thread on xda, and flash them in recovery
