Installed xposed installer and when I check a module it will say cannot write module data ect, since I've rooted it nothing has changed at all, kernel is the same as it was can't change that either... Proper noob but I need some help so I can change display icons ect..

to factory reset rooted Samsung galaxy y running on stock Rom

hi my friend have Samsung galaxy y recently rooted only rooted no custom Rom he uses stock Roms now he gets so much hangs so he decided factory reset it. i want to know is it safe or he will brick it?? please help we both are noobs

With the information provided i think it is unlikely that you will brick the device by factory reseting it.
thanks.. here someone said me that never factory reset a rooted phone running on custom Rom.. so i little afraid but mine friends one is still on custom Rom so is it safe right?
Sent from my GT-S5360 using XDA App
Maybe if the custom rom was using somekind of partition , but generally i would say reseting a custom rom won't brick a device.
Reseting a custom rom does not restore the factory rom, but reset the custom rom to its install state.
Its virtually im possible to really BRICK (a real BRICK is something that needs a JTAG device in order to get it working again) a device by reseting it, the worst case scenario is that you have to reflash the rom.
but i have stock Rom so what happened if i factory reset? what i will get after reset a rooted phone or unrooted phone? please help

The device should still remain rooted since the su binary was placed in the system area which factory resetting does not affect (you will just have to re-install the Superuser app). See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17348395&postcount=2.
thanks
so in other words you mean we should not to play with system file right?

Sadly its not in the free version of the xda app.
i have other query! in our unrooted phone apps can't access root.
so if i root it so it is possible that after rooting i make my phone more damageble by malware coz now they can change my system setting also!

is somebody there for help???
Sent from my GT-S5360 using XDA App
Theoreticly yes, but the SuperUser app is there to prevent that.
thanks if any malware crashes my system than what should i do? factory reset or anything else?
Sent from my GT-S5360 using XDA App
Safest would be to flash new ROM / same ROM again.
thanks if i factory reset does it automatically flash ROM Also? please don't angry i.m just a little curious and want to learn something better from a master like you!

You could say so, but you have control over what gets root access and what doesn't. Apps can only use root access if you allow it (you have to grant it Superuser permission).
can someone answer my last question?

Pacman rom, system ui stopped working

Hi im still a complete nood at this forum stuff, but i have been useing custom roms for a while on my note 2 but i really liked the pacman rom i liked the notification bar and the overall feel then it kept popping up with system ui stopped working i re wiped it all and reinstalled it and it was worse as soon as i unlock it, the error message pops up im really unsure what to do please help

What version of the note 2 do you have and which version of PAC did you download?
Sent from my Vivid 4G using xda app-developers app
Model number : GT-N7100
Android version : 4.1.2
I am using the alliance rom just because its stable and i made the biggest noob mistake of all, flashed and didnt do an original back up so i have no choice but to use custom roms,
Is that what you were asking for ? I wasnt joking when i said im a noob, ill have to see the pac rom when i get home because its seemed to have broken my micro sd card because my phone isnt allowing me to mount my san disk 54gb micro sd
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
ok so several things:
1)It sounds like the PAC rom wasnt built for your phone (maybe diff systemUI) or if ported, not done correctly. Either that or you didnt flash it properly.
2)If you want to return to the original ROM, im pretty sure there are steps to do so
3)Did you try an official version of PAC or something else?
4)Did you format system and cache before flashing the ROM?
N7100_PAC_JB_4.2.2-v20.0.0
I i wipe system amd cache partition data but on twrp i use system wipe which says it does system and cache partitin ?

Hello,

ROOTING? What can I do?

I' ve got a question about rooting, i rooted my android device (GTS-5300/ samsung galaxy pocket) but I dont really know what to do with it, I installed 1 app, which you need root for, I deleted some apps I never use, and there are a very few MOD's for this device. What can I do else?
Thanks

Read carefully as you first have to install the xposed framework.
and the xposed installer won't brick my device? what allows this to be installed safely while flashing a rom does not?

Xposed is an app (well it's the framework). It does not require flashing anything in a custom recovery or unlocking of a bootloader, it simply lets you modify the appearance or behavior of the system or other apps. Conversely, flashing a rom on our S3 requires you to have an unlocked bootloader.
this answers my question perfectly. thank you very much.

No problem! I haven't used Wanam Xposed but I know it comes highly recommended for TW 4.3. I use Xposed (slightly different somehow) and there's a two step process of first installing Xposed and rebooting then installing a module that interests you then rebooting once again. It's a pretty fun utility and may be rather addicting!

Help me find the problem please

Hey guys! I don't know what is causing this, but from time to time I get my navigation bar like this (link in the end) and I don't know what to do.. I got my device rooted with no custom root, got Xposed framework and a couple of modules and got softkeyz installed and working.. But I can't press the home button for example because of this! I don't know what is causing and I would like your help, because it's really annoying.. Rebooting the device solves the problem temporarily, after a while is goes back like this.. http://i62.tinypic.com/14j8foi.png
Please help! Thanks!

can you please tell me what did you do before this condition ? did you install transparent notifications xposed module ?
I will tell everything I have that can mess with it: I'm rooted and I have Xposed framework. From apps I have softkeyz (using to change the colour and shape of soft keys) and adaway. From modules I have: Advanced power menu, AppOps, gravity box, Boot Manager, Soft keys fade mod, xui mod (not using anything related with soft keys from it). I am also using nova launcher with some icon packs.
Regards!

I had this problem of home key not working, I flashed stock rom and it was fixed, you would have to reinstall everything after you flash stock rom
Or you can try remapping keys(not recommended)(try only if you are an expert)
