Rooted ROM yields "S Note has stopped working"

After installing the N8000XXALGA_N8000OXXALG5_PHE_RootGalaxyNote.com via Odin, the message "Unfortunately, S Note has stopped working" pops up every 5-9 seconds.
How do I resolve this situation?
Losing S-Note is not to be considered a preferable option.
The tablet is currently not really usable, as S-Note appears to be relaunching and crashing, so I can get one click, touch, or gesture between notices.

I wanted root access to avail myself of the market enabler, so I downloaded the pre-rooted ROM that's supposed to be reliable and stable, and it's supposed to keeps things stock, except for the fact that the tablet would then be rooted.
But now, I get an error message every 5 seconds telling me that S Note stopped working.
I can now get one click in, in between notices. What's worse, I can't temporarily stop S Note, to at least disable the warning, and let me try to do something.
I can't use my tablet, at all. And I haven't any other ROMs handy (except for the Jelly Bean leak).
But all I wanted was STOCK rooted... Not headache.
All I want is to use market enabler so I can download geometriq. Is that too much to ask for?!?!?

In my despair, I went into recovery mode and hit the factory reset button. I restarted my tablet as if brand new, all my files gone, my settings rearranged to default, everything... I would have backed up, but without root, I couldn't get Titanium Backup installed, previously. Now, even the demo stuff that comes with SNote is missing. Although, everything seems to be working, now.

You don't need root for that. Isn't market enabler an app for devices which don't have install unknown sources in settings? I had that app on my old phone. Note has the option built in. Note 10.1 settings, in security, has option to check unknown sources. Which allows you to install apps from other sources and not just marketplace. Works well for me as ive installed tons of apps that way and wasn't from marketplace.
If that's not what you mean then my bust

What you're referring to I think is the allowing of unknown sources. That's a little different from what I'm trying to do.
On a slightly different but still relevant note -no pun intended... Can I re-install S Note; if so, how?

Re-install your stock rom using ODIN... This will give back all stock apps...
Then go here - http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-no...t-galaxy-note-10-1-easiest-methodcwmmethod-2/ and follow the instructions... This will give root access to your stock rom (n8000) and you don't have another countries CSC...

Thanks for the reply.
But, that's exactly what I had done.
However, you know that initial collection of notes that are included, in a stock ROM?
My S Note is still missing that.
When I launch my S Note, it's barren
-not a single solitary note.
That's why I wasn't sure if reinstalling the ROM installed a brand new S Note, or what.
And that's why I was asking about reinstalling S Note itself.

As soon as you start a new note (+ key) it will give you the option of what note template you want to use...
And if you have installed an OTA to the latest you will now have a landscape template...

Thanks again for the reply. And thanks for bringing the landscape template to my attention; my S Note includes this template...But I'm not referring to the templates... I'm referring to the initial four Books, I think it was, that are included.
I'm not really sure what all I'm missing out on,
due to the absence of these included readings, that are missing from my Note 10.1
(I think one of these notes or a couple of the notes, are manuals).
But, beyond that, I really really want the ability to have a note/memo [like S Memo's widget allows].
On my S3 I have a whole pane dedicated to an instance of the widget.
I keep a list of things I need to do, on it; and it's always staring at me, without me having to do anything at all -I don't need to launch an application, I don't need to click any shortcuts, or go to any folder -it's just there..
And when I need to edit it or add something to it, I just simply double tap the screen, without having to launch any apps or go to application folders, or anything.
S Note has the mini app -but the mini app is REALLY always there, as in you can't get away from it, unless you close it.
And more importantly, for as long as it's there, it's editable, so it's prone to accidental smears.
S Note is an alright piece but it's just shy of gimmicky.
This S Memo feature, which enables users to take the S Pen and write a note -and keep it indefinitely handy is slightly harder to find. I've found other memo apps and note taking apps that are close -but never quite right. Some don't allow you to hand write (you have to keyboard your info in); and others don't offer this ever so wonderful widget...
This has become a tangential rant, hasn't it?
Sorry...
I just want S Memo for my note 10.1

I think I also had this issue after installing the pre-rooted European ROM on a US N8103.
I managed to find a solution - too late for you now though
1) Installing Titanium Backup Root + Pro Key via the Play Market in Windows
2) In TB Freezing S-Note and then wiping the cache (Swipe Left on the Apps Backup Properties to get to the Special Properties) I also tried wiping the Apps Data but that didn't make any difference.
You could do the same thing in Application Manager but I think it would take about 20 minutes scrolling down to maybe get to S Note whilst the message popped up. Alternately you could add a short cut to the home screen and try long pressing and dropping on to App Info - which you could maybe just about do between pop-ups.
I guess you could stick a recovery on it and just wipe the cache full stop?
[EDIT]
BTW how did you get on with the OTA didn't work out so well for me

I had the same issue after flashing the root injected stock ICS through ODIN. I was going from a rooted JB Rom (that did not work, and was not JB.. AA not the best site.)
Anyways the only way I was able to fix it was to painfully go through the Settings>Applications>All>S-Note Clear Cache/Data, and Force Stop.
It's tedious as hell, but it works. Your lucky yours is popping up every 5 minutes mine was about every 30 seconds took awhile to get through those menus! Hope this solves your issue!

GooPhone Y5/Thunderbird 4s

Hey everyone,
Recently purchased a thunderbird 4s and have had great joy rooting and flashing the phone with various ROMS from across various forums and youtube sites(mayiandjay).
I thought I would start this start this thread due to the lack of English information regarding this fantastic iphone 4s clone and ROM information around the globe. Most is in chinese along with a russian forum but there is little else in english.
I have flashed them all and this is a guide for English users to participate in and add feedback and hints/tips to various newer ROMS.
I have ascertained via china- phone forum russia (in russian) that goophone release newer ROM'S every month or so.
The latest ROM titled GOOPHONE-Y5-1001-F-002 is the best for this phone and includes importantly the proximity sensor re calibrator under settings/general/accessibility/display. Importantly, whenever you flash the ROM'S via clockwork recovery and boot into the ilauncher screen you must always recalibrate this proximity sensor otherwise when you take/make a call the phone goes blank screen and is basically stuffed.
I have tried many roms including:
- 0805(which was very very good my reference for me but lacked newer functionality including camera operation via lockscreen and many other newer functions),
- mayiandjay,(has bugs including proximity failure in display)
- tician and gstyle (also has the same bug as mayiandjay)
If you have bought a new thunderbird 4s (and yes the screen is much brighter exactly the same as iphone 4s i saw in apple store) then you must do the following to get it up to full potential but be **WARNED** there are risks attached with this including having to open up the unit requiring a pentalobe screwdriver and sliding the cover off to de-solder red/black battery terminal wires if your flash goes wrong. This is the only way to get back in to CWM if a flash goes wrong.
1. Follow the guide here -->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1729056 (thnx you mylove299 you are genius for posting that thread)
2. Once flashed from post 3 download the newest ROM for Y5 here --->http://www.mediafire.com/?mn2w39f5ocfdpxk and once downloaded use usb to transfer the zip to your root sd card
3. Now get into reboot recovery mode.
4. To do this turn off phone
5. Then hold power and - button together and wait to feel the vibration. Once felt quickly take your fingers off - button and power button.
6. You should now see bottom left corner of screen recovery mode
7. Follow the guide in chinese on how to flash your zip. There is a guide for CWM called IOS_recovery_2.0.1_(chinese).pdf and is available here: ---> http://www.dkmdesign.dk/?page_id=9
8. Basically, using this chinese-> english guide for CWM you follow this order a) clear the cache partition; b)clear data restore factory settings; c) apply zip from sd card; d) scroll one down and hit eneter you should be in root of your sd card where you put the zip before; e) apply update and that's it
9. Once the flash is done which take about 30 or so seconds the new ROM is now ready and all you have to do is go down to bottom hit back key until the start screen and you should be highlighting the first option in CWM and hit enter and bingo reboot
Once the reboot is done you will boot-up into the new rom. This new rom is fantastic gives you the camera option on lockscreen and also has a round home button which gives you quick access to 3G /wifi and other shortcuts. You can place this little icon anywhere on your homepage.
Once this is all done then you have to obtain g-apps from here: -->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1729056 and Extract Go_app.zip then run installG_Apps.bat, G-app will be install then run install_App.bat to install other apps, your phone will reboot. (Thnx mylove299)
and then that's it your done you will see the new apps for play and other things on your homescreen which you can modify if in chinese just hold the icon with your finger until it starts shaking and then press the icon once and you should see options to change title/icon etc I basically changed the chinese titles to english.
In this new ROM the compass now work (0805 ROM had bugs) auto-rotate work also and functionality is awesome. There is also a nifty chinese icon program in this rom which monitors your 3G usage and i can explain how to set this up if you have a monthly allowance but I will leave that to later. Also, I have an iphonewallper.apk which i modified and I will explain how to port that across to system/app using root explorer and this way you can modify your homescreen wallpaper to newer images along with your home screen.
For now, that's it but do post/update it if you have bugs/issues or anything else to add. Remember this is the Thunderbird 4s and is exactly the same as goophone Y5 expect better screen hehehe . I will be hardware modifying the battery soon (thnx mayandjay for guide on youtube to iphone 4s 1430mah version) along with a future mod on the camera and will install an iphone 4s camera to see if it improves it which I think it will, cause the one in there now is very poor but ok)
Hope you enjoy this post and I thought I would give something back to all the hard work of programmers/engineers across the world.
:good:

Ok can add some further feedback...
* you need to set the screen to lcd density 326 to maximize the quality of imaging as this is a retina screen. To do this once you have installed google play go into market and download excellent free app called lcd resolution. Once installed set density to 326 exactly as this is correct density for this retina screen. You can also tick apply on reboot so you can it have it permanently done in the build.prop file.
*** May want to scratch the above** found 320 is the best and lock screen swipe was a little out of wack but this is now fixed with 320 dpi.
* You may want to uninstall an app which has a swirl arrow on it. This app installs a usage meter and also a dialer and sms app which is in chinese and confilcts with original apps. Definitely recommend to uninstall.
* You can add various apps via other ROM's go into system/apps of these zips copy apk files onto your sd card and install them via root explorer

Ok some further updates..
* Found a nifty tip... if you want flash on phone to work momentarily in darkness...hit the home button front screen will light up and hold either + or - button for a second or too and rear flash will light up...very kewl..
* I have also disabled the notifications pop up. I prefer to turn my Thunderbird 4s on and see on screen what I have missed. Previously with notifications on it interferes with various functionality of the phone.
* if your GPS is slow or does not work remove backcover, and re-solder the red and black battery wires to main-board. Also move these wires away from the main-board as this has helped me get a lock within 15sec of turning on my various gps app's.
* I have also installed adw launcher with apex ICS theme... between them I can launch the ICS theme and ilauncher(default) and people are amazed..
My intention is to go into Apple store and say I bought this and look no itunes work but everything else works..record on youtube and then upload heheheheh will be funny...

thx for your hints! Just one more question:
I can flash the rom, but when restarting it gives me two flickering lines on the bottom of the screen. I can load roms up to 0912. But even the modded rom from mayiandjay shows this behavior. Any idea?
the facebook app is not working for me. It just states "loading" on the main screen, also when loading profiles or certain pages. Notifications and messages work though...same for you?
thx for sharing your ideas,
jo

Yes the flickering is quite normal and I did not see it on ROM 0805 goophone Y5 version.
It seems the mayiandjay rom and above have this weird flickering made worst when putting the phone into landscape mode. Seems to only do it with web-scrolling and youtube. I am thinking they don't use the hardware correctly....not sure..
Unless you mean something else completely different to what I described above?
I don't use the facebook app so can't really comment. I am curious though can someone post a link to goophone ROM versions all of them and the current release versions. That would be awesome..

Just an update ROM 1013 has been released for a while now.
Will be upgrading to it soon. I have found the links to the latest ROMS for goophone Y5/Thunderbird 4s.
Stay tuned

Thanks for your answer. The flickering starts for me right from the white apple logo at boot, even within recovery.Only one or two lines. They disappear when rolling back to 0912. What I did: I've taken 1013, unzipped and copied the system folder to the unzipped 0913. Then zipping again, et voilá - features from 1013 w/o flickering
Concerning facebook: I think that is due to missing AOSP browser, but I'm not sure. I was not able to install it via root explorer or even adb.

Interesting... thank You for your feedback..
I have discovered another issue that the SMS app sometimes the sms's will continue to beep unless I open the folder.
Seems to lag when it starts to get full....
Time to flash ROM and test your feedback ..

Ok trying your method brought back issues of no auto-rotate on screen same issue as in 0912 ROM.
Will now use 1013 ROM and provide feedback.
Update feedback..
1013 all working well. No issues to report auto rotate works and phone is much more faster/zippier.
For now 1013 is the latest and greatest...

The 1013 ROM has improved the following:
* Battery life is much improved
* reception is more stable
* voice quality on call is very clear and crisp
* audio quality via music player is outstanding even better than my samsung galaxy s
* Menu speed and free memory with ilauncher is much better now ( is zippier now than before)
* no more lag with SMS
* There is still some minor flicker but hardly noticeable and much much less than before with 1001 ROM
* Camera is improved colours are more natural and correct
* If anyone has issues with GPS you may need to resolder the red and black cables back to mainboard. Mine was poor only use 3 satellites when it can see 12. Now after resolder(careful it is very thin wire) the GPS gets lock in 15~20sec and I use 9/12 satellites.
The 1013 ROM is simply fantastic. ENjoy

Hi Guys,
i also own a goophone y5 since 2 days now and i am very interested to find a ROM thats imitates iphone as well as possibel.
i currently tried these roms:
- GOOPHONE-Y5-0711-f-001
- GOOPHONE-Y5-0815-01-GF-F-IL-002
- GOOPHONE-Y5-1001-F-002
- REX_V3
i found REX_V3 + (a sortet amount of) G_apps as the best combination of functionality, stability and look+feel. i'm close to start cooking my own rom, because all roms have an issues that are nogo! i'll post a review of these roms a soon as possible for you all here and will share my experience with them. meanwhile i'm trying to combine a rom out of them all that fullfills the following points:
- stability
- functionality
- look+feel (as close as possible to iphone)
---------- Post added at 07:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:52 PM ----------
where can i get 1013 ROM from? i would realy like to test and compare this one, too.

I got the 1013 ROM from goophone.hk website. I can assure you I don't speak Cantonese/Mandarine but I managed to get on there and find the ROM.
The 1013 is very stable and eveything I said in my previous post. Will stay with it for a long time. Battery life is amazing now...and yes I also used many ROM's. The g-apps is essential along with this rom. I tried to get 1021 ROM but I need password....no go 4 now..

Hi xlr8me,
dunno how you managed to get it from that site. i'm trying to find anything on that site using google website translation, but with no success
may you have a direkt link for me? that would realy be useful. Thank you.
Hint: try "goophone.hk" as password. i've read it on several sites that they use this one.

here for everybody (i finaly made it) direct links to the last two ROMs:
ROM 1013:
http://115.239.249.24/down/Y5-zn-f-...hk=14e5086d14f219c82b23772cb64bb18f-174000334
ROM 1022:
http://115.239.249.27/down/Y5新摄像头10...hk=3df4a2c1345c210a7fefe29c493a16ef-174027862
happy downloading & flashing

ROM 1022 contains another .zip file inside which is version 1021. this version requires a password. "goophone.hk" (and some more password i tried) doesn't work as password
even so, i tried to use GPS with 1013 and many versions before, but it doesn't work. did anybody get GPS working on goophone y5? if so, how did you do that?
location via Edge or 3G doesn't work as well.
does anybody know how to modify a rom to change thwe language? it would even be nice to know how to change the language of apps.
i think it's quiet easy to do. it's only .zip file content and .apk file which can be modified with a java editor.

Yes GPS works. Make sure you have GPS satellites and A-GPS ticked with google (NOT nokia) inside of A-GPS settings.
It works but not as super fast as perhaps other phones. Just be patient.
The language is changed inside the settings. Changing the language of apps is a challenge so don't expect anything easy there.
Not sure whether to test 1022. Anyone know what's new with this ROM?
Anyone got a link to the above files especially 1022? It says error...

Thank you for your tips. But i already tried/checks all this
Here's where i found the files. Dunno why the direct links don't work anymore. Try this side instead: http://www.400gb.com/u/582581/1627896
1. klick the rom you like from the list
2. enter the shown number into the text field and press the big, fat, green button below
3. on the next site there's a short description of the rom and below there's a table of links. 2 rows, 3 links in a row. choose the first link in the second row
4. you can download the file
1022 has got a password in it that i don't know.
1013 has no password and can be installed in the odenary way.

Thnx dude..
Yeah just as I thought password protected...
Just a tip for anyone get a bumper preferably silicone for your thunderbird/goophone Y5.
It has tremendously improved the GPS reception as I was using it naked before.
Also forget using GPS with Aluminium case it won't work...it reduced GPS by about -6~-12dB and no good.

Guys, just a quick question.
My Safari(boat mini browser) won't save the far zoom for page settings. Any ideas how to fix this?
It keeps resorting back to medium zoom.

[Q] How to get rid of "switch to previous size" icon on galaxy note 10.1

Really sorry if this is a stupid question, but this just started appearing on the bottom right of my screen. This stupid minimize/maximize icon will constantly be on and just won't go away. I never had this problem until yesterday. I understand its related to Samsungs multi window, but is there anyway to get rid of it? Should I just downgrade to an older version?

Can you post some screenshot?
I can't find any such buttons until or unless I press on multiwindow seperator.
If it's appearing for you, it might be from Samsung Multiwindow feature it self. It will appear even if you downgrade your app.

Thanks. I'll try to get a screen cap. In the meantime, here is a link to another forum that describes my problem: forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-note-10-1/263352-switch-previous-size-irritation.html
Essentially it seems to be a problem that many programs seems to have the Galaxy multi window. I think you may be onto something with it being on SamSung's end since I didn't have this problem before, and since so few people actually have this problem. I've googled everything I could find about trying to turn this feature off using the SamSung settings, ect...., but nothing seems to work. I think I may inadvertently changed one of the settings on the Galaxy Note, which caused this stupid icon to turn on, so I'm hoping for some way to turn it off. I guess I could do a hard factory reset, but that would wipe all my data, so that's kind of a last resort.

I also wanted to add that I don't have a problem with the "Switch to previous size" icon appearing in other video players like KMP or VLC. It's only appearing when I use MX Player - which is why I originally thought that there might be a problem with the MX Player I'm using which is Pro Version 1.7.35

Update - still having this problem with the icon on the lower right of the screen. I uninstalled the MX player and did a hard factory reset on my Galaxy Note. Then I reinstalled the program. Still no luck with getting rid of the icon. Maybe I do have to try an older version?

Here is a picture of the multi-window icon. It's on the bottom right.

OK, I solved the problem. Apparently this is a glitch with the new version of MX Player version 1.7.35
I downgraded to 1.7.34 and viola, no more stupid multi window icon. I know I didn't consciously update my original version. I only did so after hoping that the new version would solve the problem of the annoying icon. However, the problems started for me right when the new version was released on 12/30, so maybe the program just updated itself? If so, is there someway to turn off the automatic update feature if there is one? I tried to look, but couldn't find one.
In short, do not upgrade to 1.7.35. It is not properly designed with the galaxy multi window feature. Stay with 1.7.34 or below.

Hmm, I wonder if this has anything to do with how the Samsung launcher tries to handle Material designed apps...

Me too
Hi alohaanime
I am getting exactly the same problem on my samsung note 10.1 and only since the last update same as you. I've tried everything I possibly can to fix it and been unsuccessful so I downrated the app in playstore, lets hope that gets the developers attention.
This app before the update was by far the best videoplayer on the web and easiest to use on the tablet, I hope they fix it soon?
How did you back pedal to the previous version?

I downgraded to 1.7.34 and viola, no more stupid multi window icon. I know I didn't consciously update my original version. I only did so after hoping that the new version would solve the problem of the annoying icon. However, the problems started for me right when the new version was released on 12/30, so maybe the program just updated itself? If so, is there someway to turn off the automatic update feature if there is one? I tried to look, but couldn't find one.
In short, do not upgrade to 1.7.35. It is not properly designed with the galaxy multi window feature. Stay with 1.7.34 or below.

Hi alohaanime
I am getting exactly the same problem on my samsung note 10.1 and only since the last update same as you. I've tried everything I possibly can to fix it and been unsuccessful so I downrated the app in playstore, lets hope that gets the developers attention.
This app before the update was by far the best videoplayer on the web and easiest to use on the tablet, I hope they fix it soon?
How did you back pedal to the previous version?

Down rating is meaningless.
Since millions of people are using the app from worldwide, the developer can't read the each & every review.
Regarding this issue,
The latest version uses Google's latest compatibility libraries to apply material design. There might be some conflicts with your device's android layout system.
I have tried myself on my s5. It works well with Multiwindow feature. I can't see such icons.
So, developer may need sometime to figure out the issue. Or it might be a issue from the google libraries itself.
So, it's upto you whether you want to use latest version till it's fixed or not. As another has already said you can temporarily use the old version till the update with fix.

[MOD][GUIDE]How To Enable The Hidden Alternate SystemUI In Note5

Not sure how many of you are aware, but there is a completely different user interface built into the Note5 that's hidden. I thought maybe some of you might like to check it out just for fun. It allows you to place widgets and apps on the lockscreen and has a bunch of cool lockscreen effects. Also, the "notifications panel" and the "recents" page are totally different, as well as many other interesting features. I added some screenshots for you guys to check out in this post.
Here are the steps to activating it:
1) First, anytime you're playing around with the SystemUI, even if it's a built in feature, it's a good idea to do a full system backup in TWRP. Not necessary, but recommended.
2) Next, you will need to have the Galaxy Apps store installed on your device. If you happened to have deleted it like I did, then I've attached the APK to this post for anyone that needs to reinstall it.
3) Open the Galaxy Apps store and update it if/when it prompts you.
4) Once the store has loaded, search for the words "Good Lock". Click on the app and click "Update", then "Install" and reboot the device when it prompts you.
(This is the hidden SystemUI that you already have on your device, but it needs the current update to work.)
5) Once rebooted into the new SystemUI, it will begin walking you through all of your new customization options. You can change any of these anytime you want by opening the "Good Lock" app in your applications list.
NOTE: If you decide that you want to deactivate the alternate SystemUI at any point, then you can just open up the "Good Lock" app and click on "Uninstall" too. You can also uninstall the Galaxy Apps store at any time and features like the new "Recents" page, if you don't like it, can be toggled off in the app as well.
Anyhow, I hope you guys have some fun with this. I'm trying it out for awhile just for kicks. Be sure to let everyone know what you thought of the new SystemUI in the comments too!

Just installed this running N5 Express ROM with no issues yet. Really like being able to have Tasker widget shortcuts on the lockscreen.

That's a really good idea. Been trying to think of a more useful widget to use on the lock screen. So far I've only added a fancy clock/weather widget. [emoji14] Maybe I'll give it a try.

Cool cant wait to try it out!

TWRP is mentioned for backing up your current configuration of TouchWiz(and your device in general) if you can before using Good Lock in case anything goes wrong. Obviously backing up your device is never required, but definitely always recommended when altering the system in any way, regardless of where it comes from. It's important to understand that Good Lock isn't just some Samsung app in the app store or just another launcher that changes the home screen, apps page, etc. It tweaks the system ui itself, including the look and function of the notifications panel, lock screen capabilities and more. It's true that you can just revert back to TW whenever you want pretty easily from within Good Lock, but the process isn't perfect. In fact, I myself applied it and reverted back only 2 times and the second time something went terribly wrong during the reversion and the system halted and it would no longer boot after that, so I had to restore a previous backup which I was glad to have had. All the data that I hadn't recently backed up though was of course lost, so yes...a TWRP backup is recommended when using Good Lock.
Also worth mentioning is the fact that if you're not running a compatible version of the stock firmware or at least a compatible TouchWiz rom, it will try to prevent you from installing it by not showing it in an app store search or by blocking access to the app's page(if you're following a link) in the Galaxy Apps store. For instance, it was there when I was on stock Marshmallow, but does not allow me to access it on stock Nougat. Instead I get error messages saying the app is not supported on my device when trying to load the Good Lock page.
Here is the link btw in case anyone can't find Good Lock in a search and wants to check if it can be used on their device. If it shows it, then it's compatible, if it doesn't then it's likely not. Just open the link in a mobile browser and click "OK" if prompted.

WTF dude? Seriously. Stop being an ass and actually read what I wrote. It's the least you can do after I typed all that out. You're not helping anyone by TROLLING this thread and repeatedly mentioning something so extremely redundant. If you don't want to backup then don't backup. I clearly said that it was obviously not required to do a backup and that I was only recommending to do it because I lost data and couldn't boot after selecting the option to revert back one time. Stop wasting people's time with your pointless comments. NOWHERE does it say in my post that making a backup is Required, so get over yourself. Either stop being a destructive ass or go and troll someone else! Your negative comments are not welcome here.

Joying 2gb Intel problems/questions

So I just wanted to make a thread for these units where people can ask/answer questions specific to these devices. May help others as the info online isn't the best, including their own forum site which I have unable to access with a few weeks due to persistent ads...... ?
To get the ball rolling;
I have updated to the new official firmware with the new widget launcher, I like the launcher, well the fact that I have large icons and can have widgets on the home screen.
My issues are,
1) when I start the car (dormancy mode) I am trying to get tasks to run automatically (open rocket player, play audio etc.) Problem is there seems to be a built in task killer that kills macrodroid (which I'm using for my tasks). I have tried autostart apps but these don't trigger as the HU is coming out of dormancy mode and not actually booting. Anyone have a work around for this? If I could get Macrodroid to run I could solve the rest using macros (tasks)
2) Since the new update with the new launcher i no longer have Voice to text, i installed the google app but this caused the launcher to crash and only left me with the recent apps screen, luckily I was able to get back into play store from here and uninstall google app again which brought all back working again.
3) When playing a podcast (Bluetooth streaming from phone) and I want to change to rocket player to play music, if I just tap play on the rocket widget the media starts playing but I get no sound until I open the app, kind of defeats the purpose of the widget being there!
4) when I first installed the unit I had no problems with the illuminate function (headlights dim screen and turn on button lights) this worked for about a month and then for no reason just stopped, now if I turn on my lights the button lights flick on for about half a second and then turn off again, its not an issue with the lights as they work fine when I chose the timed option. I haven't checked my 12v feed yet as I'm guessing its OK due to the flicker, it will happen every time I turn the lights on.
I have tried reset, reflash combos about 6 times at this stage but always with the same results.
I know there are options to change the ROM but I would like to keep it stock for now just in case I need to return it.

I assume you mean the http://forum.carjoying.com/ forum? If so, mention that. Be concrete.
That is indeed annoying, but there are many hundredths of users on that forum without issues. Maybe your ISP doing something weird.

The new official ROM?? Which one? The 5 March version? And did you pick the right one of the two? And which unit do you have?
Mention all that! This makes your remark/question useless as people trying to help first need to ask you that.

Search the forum. already many time mentioned. You need the NoKill app. Can be downloaded from here and mentioned here.

Don't you search at all? Also known issue and mentioned here on the forum.

Again: which ROM are you on? You should mention that. ROMS before 2017 contain bugs, so do they in 2017 but at least a lot less. So make sure you are on a newer ROM. If you already are, like you mentioned above, mention the version. That saves people from asking for the obvious. Before you post read the rules.
Look at this thread and this thread
First of all: Search the forum.
And secondly: Search the forum.
And third: Be concrete. Mention versions, forums, etc. You don't even mention which head unit you have.

I was looking but could only find info on the 1gb model and the thread about the release of the 2gb model.
Thanks for the info but you don't have to be a **** about it.
I missed stuff when searching, I couldn't access the joying forum, I thought saying "their own forum site" would have cleared that. I couldnt access the site to find out if there had been updates, at the time i was on the ONLY UPDATED ROM with the new launcher with customizable widgets.
When i found NoKill I thought it was for steering wheel controls which I don't have so I moved on.
When I asked about model numbers on the joying forum (when I could access it) I was made out to be an idiot too because "They are all the same thing" so forgive me for thinking that. Mine is the JY-UL135N2
Again, Thanks for the info but you don't have to be a cranky prick about it, this is a forum isn't it? Used for discussion and help?
I was only saying something like this with info in one place would be good, if its out there already then sorry, mods can delete and ill crawl back into my hole of idiotness

Yes, I was annoyed but I did give you a number of helpful links and be honest: you were not very exact in your phrasing.
And w.r.t. the roms: They are on the joying blog59 page which is also mentioned several times on several postitions in this forum, and you could also have found it from the "normal" joying website carjoying.com
Even though I was annoyed I tried to help you. If your phrasing was more concrete that would have been a lot faster. And you still don't mention which ROM you are currently using, so nobody can give you an exact answer.
You can be angry with me, but clear communication would have prevented my irritated reply.

I am on the 2017222 rom but will be updating to latest tomorrow, have downloaded just need to do the HU side of it. I can get access to the Joying site using your link and only your link, not sure why or whats going on as this includes the main joying site too.
I plan on updating, attempting root then install NoKill.
I am giving the info I have, I don't know a lot about these devices and although I have rooted phones and tablets before I have never done anything like this.
You did give me helpful links and I thank you for that but please don't be too angry with people asking questions. I realise you know how this works but others don't and are afraid of damaging the device. Before your link which I used to access the updates page I had no way of checking for updates as I couldn't get onto the page

There is no real need to update to the March 5 ROM if you already have the 22 Feb ROM.
The ROM is rooted. What you mean is that you want to install a SuperUser app like SuperSU or Kingroot or the like.
You don't need to SuperSU your ROM. You can install the NoKill version just like that as the ROM is rooted. You simply don't have the nice, userfriendly superuser apk on the system.

So there is no real advantage to the March 5 ROM?
Oh, I didn't know it was rooted still, thought they stopped that on the 2gb devices.. I'm not even sure if I need root for anything, all I wanted it for was to get to the /system... folder to copy NoKill to. Can I get there without SuperSU app using ES file explorer? Am I safe to delete the existing nokill.apk in there 1st and then copy in the new file? It won't cause any issues not having the apk for the few seconds? (Probably a stupid question)

The Sofia server is loaded upon boot and stays in memory. So no problem there.
Best thing to do via adb.
Code:
adb push Sofia-1-C9-Server-V1.0.apk /sdcard/
adb shell "su -c mount -o remount,rw /system"
adb shell "su -c cp /system/app/Sofia-1-C9-Server-V1.0/Sofia-1-C9-Server-V1.0.apk /system/app/Sofia-1-C9-Server-V1.0/Sofia-1-C9-Server-V1.0.apk.old"
adb shell "su -c cp /sdcard/Sofia-1-C9-Server-V1.0.apk /system/app/Sofia-1-C9-Server-V1.0"
adb shell "su -c chmod 644 /system/app/Sofia-1-C9-Server-V1.0/Sofia-1-C9-Server-V1.0.apk"
adb shell "su -c ls -l /system/app/Sofia-1-C9-Server-V1.0"
last command does nothing toyour system. It should only list the new apk and the old apk.old.
and then reboot your unit.

I know you are going to hate me for this but any time I've tried pushing files using adb I end up messing it up and bricking it.
Looks like the illumination problem was due to the car.. The illumination wire was in a different place to the joying connector, I repinned it and working now but still doesn't explain how I had it working fine for a month.. Really weird, had issues with 12v switched and constant 12v too.. Had to swap them around.. Seems to be Kia's doing and not joying.. Very strange

Macrodroid not running in background FIXED
Hey there! You probably fixed the issue with macrodroid by now but I had the same issue and I fixed it by installing Macrodroid as a system app. That did the job for me. Just did a reboot and waited for macrodroid to come up.
