OTA Jelly Bean update delete Home screen Issue

So I just downloaded and installed the ota update to jelly bean and whenever I try to delete homepages touch wiz home force closes... I've restarted my phone and even tried clearing data on touch wiz home app.
Anyone else have this problem?
btw..I am not rooted

Just tried it and it force closed.
It let me add a new home screen no problem. But when I went to delete, it crashed.

Exactly! now I have 7 home screens but am only using 2.

Mine works like it should. Deletes fine, adds fine.

No problems adding or removing homescreens for me after the update.

I'm wondering what could be causing this as I haven't rooted or done anything really. I'm having to use Apex atm until I [we ] figure it out.

Please post questions in Q&A

Thanks

This seems to be a bug if you have "Transition duration scale" (it may be one of the other animator settings, i dont remember) turned off. Go into Developer options/Drawing and turn it back on, reboot and see if that fixes it. Default settings are 1x.

that works, thanks so much!!

Hey guys,
I'm new to the forum. I bought the s3 from an individual about 2 months ago and he had already installed one of the leaked versions of Jelly Bean. Now that Verizon has finally released the official OTA upgrade, I was wanted to install it because there are a few things that this version has that mine doesn't. Would I have to restore my firmware back to stock to be able to receive the OTA (haven't got any notifications to update)? If so, whats the best way to do it? Use the odin process that I have read about?
Thanks

You would have to restore your phone back to the VRALHE build of ICS or earlier to get the OTA. It is probably simpler to use one of these guides to just go straight to the same build as the OTA. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1974114 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1984436. They both involve using Odin to flash the images. You can use the no-wipe versions to keep all your data intact or you can use the full-wipe versions instead. You can also check out section 5 in this guide to go back to stock and then OTA if you want to do a little more work. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709

Sounds like you are just looking for more work. If go to HE and update to OTA will still have do the same amount of ODIN work to Root and unlock to end up in the same place. There is no advantage of OTA over K3 leak.

[Q] Will it be possible to revert to ICS from JB?

Hello!
Being a newbie, I would like to get some feedback from the more experienced users in this great forum. As JB seems to be just around the corner for the N8010 series I'm interested in learning whether it will be possible to revert to ICS from JB if that's wanted/needed for any reason. I personally find Samsung devices to be 'flexible' when it comes to flashing ROM/firmware via Odin, which is great compared to other brand tablets I've had my hands on. The reason for my title question is that my local Samsung support centre (Sweden) tells me there is no going back once JB is installed. Do you think this is a fact or merely something they have to say to all customers according to some policy? From what I understand there is no bootlocker or signature match (correct me if I'm wrong here) on our devices under ICS, and I don't see any reason why Samsung should introduce something like that under JB which should stop the possibility if reverting. Anybody who knows or have any thoughts?
Rgds,

Its easy. Just flash an oficial ics fw with odin, I already did this and I had no problem. Just get the fw for your region from sammobile.

[Q] Can I flash the new GT-N8010 JB UK update on my rooted GT-N8013?

Can i flash the new update 4.1.1 UK version of GT-N8010 to my rooted GT-N8013?
If anybody tried it, does it work fine? any of your data are lost or they are still on the device ?
and do you think should i wait for the US version or download it anyway ?
keep in mind i bought it from US and I'm living in Egypt, so still would i get it or a notification if the OTA is released in addition to that my device is rooted?
Thank in advance

You should not lose data when you go from ICS to JB irrespective of the version. But if you are rooted then do not take a chance a titanium backup for just in case there are any complications.
You will not receive OTA unless you flash the orignal rom when it is released which anyway does not make any sense as it will always release months after the first release

I recommend to make backup of your data with titanium backup or same. After update your data will not lose but I always format system, data, cache when update different version, for better works of tablet, then restore what I want.
I think for long time should i update or not, for month my tablet work on 4.1.1, and for two week work on 4.1.2 - it's awesome, all that i can say

I flashed uk 4.1.1 on my gt-n8013 from stock ics, rooted. It works fine and you do not lose data. Someone had dumped the Us 4.1.1 that came preloaded but there is no .tar file yet.

You should idealy not lose date when you upgrade or step up from a previous version, but it is always better to back up data so that you are safe.

[Q] Aussie version GT-N8010

Hi all
Just got a question regarding the version software my note is running,
I understand there are a number of different versions getting around, I'm unclear as to what is the latest version for my particular model
Currently it is running 4.0.4, yet I know there are much newer versions getting around, yet when I try to run an update it says there are no updates for my device
Can anyone clarify for me if what I have is the newest version for my note
Cheers

I havent got a 8010 i have the optus delivered 4g version 8020 and im on 4.1.2 i think.plug yours into a pc and fire up samsung kies...let it do its thing and check for a update.you should have one available.

You can flash you device throught Odin:
Use BTU or NZC firmware.
h**p://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-N8010

Well believe it or not kies says it is the most current version, guess we must just miss out here in Aus

This is why I use other country roms...

I dont think I'd ever have the courage to do something like that on my own device, sounds a little complicated to the novice modder, I'd be too scared to brick it!!

You shouldn't be. It's a piece of cake.
http://techmell.com/android-tips/how-to-install-galaxy-note-10-1-n8010-zccma4-android-4-1-2-jelly-bean-official-firmware/

Is it possible however that I may lose some functionality by doing this? It does sound simple enough, I can build computers so I should be able to do it
Ohh, and I lose all software installed correct?, hence the extra special need to backup prior?

I didnt lose any apps or settings but I went from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 updated without a hitch.it will sudgest a backup but I didnt have time or my pc to backup too.i was at work.but a backup is good while you are waiting for the file to download.not sure what the go is nowdays but I use to use titanium backup the paid version.you need a rooted tab tho....not a big deal....google exynos abuse and grab the apk and install that.its made by a dev called chainfire (very trustworthy)it can root your tab in about 30 secs.once rooted you can backup you apps and settings if needed.i somtimes had probs with the settings part, but no probs with the just apps. Once backup is done flash the new firmware, reboot and play for a few mins....then reboot again....root tab again with exynos abuse as it should loose root rights with the new firmware....then re install titanium and load your backup and or your sammy kies backup too. Clear as mud eh?

No, you don't loose apps, but it's recommended to factory reset your device. I went through 4.0.3 -> 4.1.1 -> 4.1.2 without wiping. But finally I did a factory reset to be sure

Okay, thanks for the info
Finally, what are the improvements, additions and removals for the device between 4.0.4 and 4.1.2
Cheers

I believe the jelly bean update is now available for GT-N8010 Australian model

Multi window manager is nice....there nice a app that enables it for every app you have installed too.

Saw no post anywhere and its E1 but it's one day newer than E2

With new firmware, beweent change log number and build date, which one is more acxurate to indicate that is a newer firmware? Thanks

Not sure why everyone talks about build date.
The changelog is going to be your one guarantee that a firmware is in anyway different or identical to the one you already have
Quite often build dates might be different because of scheduling of the coding etc

Thanks for this. As a new comer to the Android world and having just got my S4, I note this is the firmware on my phone (online import to Australia). However, could you confirm for me:
this is a link to the Stock ROM should I need to return the original OS,
that despite this, I can still follow published methods for rooting my phone (eg "Root the Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505 on Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean using Motochopper tool",
there is no problem with me moving to a British based Custom ROM such as described here "Update Galaxy S4 I9505 to official XXUAMDM Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean Firmware", and finally
Does the region software is designed for (eg Hong Kong vs Europe) have an impact on the phone's functionality and hardware abilities?
Many thanks

Gotta keep a eye on SamMobile as they are faster with Firmwares

I wish somebody would have mirrored.. HotFile sucks

Yep
Really don't understand why they keep uploading them on hotfile, when there are far better alternatives.. or why not they could even make a torrent for the most desired builds.
Anyway.. thanks!
Now just have to wait 2 hours for this to dw despite having a 100mbps connection.

Most probably because HotFile is paying them!

All stock can be upgraded without wipe etc. Just use newest rom with odin
Region dont have any difference as long as rom is for your model. Dont try to flash rom for other model. You can eg flash brazilian firmware made for 9505 to simfree uk phone etc.
