TouchWIZ has stopped working, note 4. - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

I have tried to to 'upgrade' my touchwiz to the new one, s6, but unfortunately failed to and now the launcher doesn't want to run at all. I am using another launcher in the mean time, but would prefer to get the old one back. Any ideas on how to fix it?

Would clearing the cache help? Never tried it, ?

Swiftkey X

So I downloaded this and love using it. However one issue has come up. Whenever I reboot I have to uninstall and reinstall Swiftkey X to be able to use it. It shows as an option but after a reboot will not allow usage.
Anyone else see this?

Happens to me as well, think that's just normal though... Wish it could be fixed though lol
It wasn't an issue on the original Dinc. Im using it right now on my first Dinc until my I2 comes in the mail today. I have a beta apk that I will test out too.
I am not having this problem

Not me. Works perfect.

Have not experienced this with either the Beta nor the final version which I loaded yesterday thanks to Amazon's Free App of the Day ;-)
I haven't had the problem either... Maybe try a reflash of your rom?

Swiftkey X works fine for me but I'm not rooted (yet)...
For those not experiencing this problem what rom and kernel are you running?
I've tried reinstalling the rom and Swiftkey multiple times... Still does not keep Swiftkey as default and will not allow it to be used even when chosen in settings.

I'm currently rooted with CM7 beta and Swiftkey works perfectly. You might want to try to clear the cache/data for Swiftkey.
Try this. Uninstall it. Go to your file manager and delete the SwiftKey folder. Reboot your phone and reinstall.
Sent from my ADR6350 using Tapatalk
Think I may have just found the problem. A few more times testing will be sure, but I think it was that SwiftKey installed to the SD card. I moved to phone and rebooted and it seems to have kept.
Didn't notice the auto install to external....

Interesting. I think I had that issue when I downloaded it the other day when I was running Gingersense. I'm running OMGB now, and haven't had the issue.

Clearing app defaults

Got used to nova launcher (and bought prime) since I was on my s3 with liquid smooth, but now being back at touch wiz I keep getting a message saying that I need to clear my app defaults. Makes me choose which launcher to use each time.
Had this problem on touchwiz with my s3 but went aosp and didn't have the problem again. Kinda liking tw on this phone so I'd like to stay with it if I can figure this out. Already tried clearing all defaults and then tried going into the specific apps and clearing the defaults. No luck. Help?

Tap and hold on the notification. It should give a menu option of "app info" click it and post a screenshot. Thanks!

Why not FREEZE the launchers you do not want to use with Titanium backup, that way they will still be
there in case you ever want to use or mess around with those other launchers.
By doing that your default launcher will always be used without a popup box asking you what to do.
If you want to use another launcher which is frozen just unfreeze it...
I know that normally you should not have to do this, but if you just cannot figure it out it does not hurt
anything to freeze a launcher.
good luck!

AOSP Google Apps issue...

So I've tried multiple AOSP roms and it seems with every one I try I have issues with either the play store crashing or Google+ crashing on me constantly. It's really annoying and I can't seem to figure out why it's happening. I've tried downloading multiple gapps packages, multiple times, and on multiple connections. I've checked md5s and everything comes up good. I need to figure this out cause I want my battery life back! Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The only thing can be is that you need to make sure if it's JB 4.1.2 or 4.2 depending on the type of rom other than that you should be fine.

So if using 4.2.2 roms then which gapps package should I be using?

4.2 gapps

I don't think that's it since I've tried using the ones provided by the developer, but I will check. Thanks. It wouldn't have anything to do with firmware would it?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
If you flash the rom and it boots and everything works then it's not the bootloader. The bootloader would not allow it to boot. If google is what's crashing it has to be your gapps.

Thanx a lot bro. I went a redownloaded everything and checked md5s on ROM, kernel, and gapps and everything is working flawlessly.

(SOLVED) Chrome not working after update

hi guys anyone else having problem with chrome not opening after the new chrome update?
It is working on my note 2 but not on my note 8
I am on 4.2.2

It's working for me. Maybe try reinstalling it and see if that helps.

At first I had the same problem so I uninstalled the app and reinstalled. But after doing this the app became very unstable, popping in and out to the point of not being able to use it.

Been there done that. It seems to be Chrome related both factory and updated release. But more noticeable on update.

I had the same issue with Google+ too after the update. .. had to uninstall and reinstall... but never saw such an issue with my note 2 ever
May be is the 8 inch factor that the apps had a little niggle with? ... or a bug in the 4.2.2 touch wiz?

Factory reset question...

I've wiped multiple times in twrp 2.6.3.3 and done it three four times before flashing a ROM through Odin again. I even went as far as doing an advanced wipe and wiped everything including the system. Buy my problem I'm having is I'm a little confused as to why when I flash a ROM with Odin, I keep getting the same wallpaper I had with that firmware. I didn't even have that wallpaper before I started this from stock. Its the p600ztubnb1_p600zztbnb1_home.tar.md5 file. Its like my tablet just remembers what wallpaper I had with that firmware. Even though I wiped everything. I even took my SD card out before wiping. Any ideas? Or am I a worry wart?

That says a lot... Thanks for the detailed reply lol. Are you trying to say Google backup/restore is saving my wallpaper? Never had that happen before.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Just trying to be to the point. yeah maybe Google is backing up and restoring it every time you reset I don't know just an option. Unless the recovery is not really resetting the tablet

Is the OP using Samsung backup/restore services? That one saves the wallpaper for sure, I have been teaching myself to the point of softbricking the device how to recover, to bring it back to the same state I like it etc. So yes, sometimes online services might be giving you options that drive you betty. You can call me Al.
Are you using a Samsung account? That will backup and restore your wallpaper automatically

I do but, not the restore part. And the last few times I've been skipping the Samsung login.

I know Google has the backup and restore setting and you'll see it checked when setting up your ROM on first run. A quick look on the net some people think it also backs up wallpaper. I've never had that happen but then I don't flash much anymore...
