[Q] Trying to reinstall s voice....

This message should be in the "Jedi Invasion Rom" section but I don't have enough posts to post there. Hopefully someone here can help me out. I recently installed the jedi invasion rom which doesn't include s voice but i miss a couple of the features of s voice like being able to take a picture with a voice command and turning your alarm off with a voice command. Anyway, i'm trying to reinstall s voice and have tried a couple different files downloaded from different areas here like the one from here which i'm not allowed to post their urls yet.
I understand these to be flashable zip files so i boot into recovery and flash from there. Everything seems to go without any errors and i get success message but when i boot up the phone there is no s voice in the app drawer. I do see it in titanium pro but can't figure out how to launch from there. It says it resides in /system/app/com.vlingo.midas.apk
When i click on the apk it asks to install but i still can't access s voice anywhere.
Anyone?
thx

Fixed
I figured it out. The fix for me was to locate the app in Titanium Backup Pro and click on it. Then go to Special features and "open system details". This opens the app info and i was able to enable s voice. whoo hoo!

[Q] [Help] DN3 gesture app/settings

Hi, guys, I installed the latest version of DN3 on my 4.4.2 Note 2.
I didn't like the swipe up gesture on the home screen, so I uninstalled the app that was opening - I thing it was AnyApp or something like that. But now when I swipe up or even if I press the Home button when I am on the Home screen, obviously there is something remembered, because there is a message "Application not installed", then Google Play opens and says "Item Not Found".
Can you help me where to clear the settings, so that this gesture is deactivated? Or at least where to get the app so that maybe I disable it from there?
P.S. I found the apk in the ROM file and installed, but this behaviour continues ;( Any idea?

Galaxy Note 8.0 broke after latest update

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.

Bypass lockscreen?

Greetings dellow xda dev's, I am currently running a Tmobile galaxy note 3, with the newest stock odexed FOL1 firmware, rooted, running twrp 2.8.5.0, I hav been installing apps and setting things up all day as a recent problem has forced me to factory reset my phone. Due to the way I use tasker to lock my phone (using secure settings to set a password) and restoring the old tasker profiles, my password appears to have been corrupted in some form or another as I have entered it a bunch of times and it won't unlock, claiming that the password is wrong. I have spent most of the evening looking at exploits and bypasses but none seem to work with my phone, there is no password.key file in the data/system folder, and deleting the gesture.key doesn't help. Using android device manager I can send a message to my phone and 'lock' it, but there is no unlock option anywhere on the screen; until I hit the home button and it simply sends me back to the normal lockscreen, and whatever new password I punched in with the manager doesn't work. I have tried several flashable zip files (lockscreen security bypass and pattern password disable), I have also tried everything mentioned in :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2620456 that article, as well as poking around in adb and in twrp's file manager, as well as some old lockscreen vulnerabilities (sadly copy and paste do not appear on the emergency dialer or the password field).
I am rather desperate to get my phone unlocked without a factory reset, as I just barely recovered from one recently, and need my phone for work tomorrow morning. I do have some tasker and autoremote profiles running that will tell my phone to setoff an alarm through tasker, and that will alert my phone to when my tablets battery life is low, but I don't know if either of those will help. I do not have any trusted bluetooth devices that can unlock the phone, nor do I ever seem to find a password reset/forgot your password option after typing in my password.
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated and tried come morning before work.

How to loose all your data with a single adb command

Hi,
I have experienced a data loss recently so I would like to share it with other Xiaomi users and maybe someone could share their experience.
During de-bloat cleaning I made a mistake. I wanted to disable "Security" app, but regular "disable-user" command did not work. I was a bit desperate so I decided to uninstall it using this command:
pm uninstall --user 0 com.miui.securitycenter
After that the system could not boot and always dropped to Recovery
I tried to re-flash the same firmware version using Mi Assitant PC, but that did not help. The only solution was to Wipe all the data. After that my Xiaomi 9 SE was able to boot. But all the data was lost.
My question is: is there a way to somehow boot the device in this situation without wiping all the data? Bootloader locked
Thanks

Hey,
I haven't found a way arround this. The Security App is still somewhere in the system image, but I could not find a way how to get to that file and how to restore it. For me it was the Cloud App. The device still boots, but gives annoying crash messages if you use the screenshot functionality or try to click the preview icon in the camera app.
If someone else finds a way around, I would be happy to hear and learn
