[Q] No Logs in aLogCat or CatLog - General Questions and Answers

Hey Guys,
I recently became tired of the random reboots I was getting on my LG Optimus 2X, running Cyanogenmod 7.2 Stable (custom) with a custom kernel. I installed aLogCat and tried running it to see if could debug the problem using the logs created by aLogcat but the app would not show me any logs. I tried through terminal emulator and CatLog and the same result, I was unable to pull and view any logs. I read that it is a permissions problems and so I converted the apps to system apps, but it still refused to work. I have read that I can also use ADB, but I would like to know if I can fix this problem on the device, so I don't have to keep my phone plugged in into the computer until it reboots to diagnose the problem. Thanks in advance.

How to enable?
Hello,
How exactly would I go about enabling the logging in the build.prop? What is the exact code I have to enter or edit? Thanks.

[Q] SuperSU Cannot change configuration

Hi, first post
I flashed my TMOBILE US [SGH-T999] SIII with root66 and all went well. verified with rootkeeper I'm indeed rooted. Problem is when I first configured superSU i checked hide from apps list (figured id still be able to get it in /system) So although it asks for permission and still fully functional I cannot open the app to change the configuration. There was some codes *#*#1234#*#* amongst others I thought would bring up the app, but because the sim is no longer registered to a network it just gives a network error.
This has been going on for a week and would really appreciate a solution. Going to google play doesn't show any options. just a picture. If i disable in manage apps i can then deactivate on google play, but it didn't help. Also re flashed rom and nothing changed.
Should be able to open the app somewhere on the phone right? use file explorer to delete some config file that will reset to default?

Hi, to open supersu through the dialpad, please enter the following:
*#*#1234#*#*
or
*#*#7873778#*#* which spells(*#*#SUPERSU#*#*)
If that didn't work, check if supersu is still installed by going to manage applications.

Yeah mentioned the codes in my post. my girlfriend has a deathgrip on the phone right now but i'm pretty sure the exact error was: Not registered on network. I also mentioned that superSU is indeed installed cause I can clear su's data, etc from the manage apps area. I use groove IP for phone calls and I've been putting the code in the phone settings not the groove voip app if that matters.
bumped after a few days of waiting patiently.
Hi i was having similar issues, did you try
*#234#* instead of *#*#234#*#* that worked for me before although my issue now is different.
i was getting an error and work around it by installing
System app remover (root) from play store
then went to apkmanger and click on reinstal Supersu, that bring back the icon
that did not solve my problem of the dialing code not working anymore, but it got me to super su app
hope it helps

[Q] Tasker not restoring after Lollipop upgrade on Nexus 5

I upgraded to Lollipop yesterday and everything went perfect except for the Tasker restoration. Tasker is the only app of around 150 that did not restore.
The symptoms are really weird:
The Google Play store on my desktop computer says Tasker is already installed and I can't install to my Nexus 5
The Play store on my phone, tries to install and then throws an Unknown error code during application install: "-505"
I tried to restore Tasker (app + data) from Titanium Backup, but it just sat there trying to restore for 30 minutes
I tried to install the .apk directly but got a message that I couldn't install
Using TotalCommander and deleted the Tasker folder and still can't install (APK install or Play Store)
I'm not sure what to try next. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Questions go in Q&A.
And yes, there have been some Google Play issues today. It will resolve itself.
Just tried to install using adb and got the following error:
adb install "C:\Users\aagha\Desktop\Tasker.4.5u1.apk"
pkg: /data/local/tmp/Tasker.4.5u1.apk
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DUPLICATE_PERMISSION perm=net.dinglisch.android.tasker.PERMISSION_RUN_TASKS pkg=com.brandall.nutter]
Not sure where to go from here.
Thanks. Sorry. Can I move the thread?

From this error, I decided to remove the Utter application (com.brandall.nutter) and then Tasker installed fine.

I am facing the same problem (and i think everyone using Tasker in Lollipop), and i think it's because the route to swith on and off 3g mobile data has changed in Lollipop and Tasker should get updated sometime.
There is no problem with other settings like wifi or location settings using Secure settings (app that isn't able to turn on and off mobile data either).
If someone knows about some plugin for this, would be appreciated.
EDIT: I have found this: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/toggle-data-5-lollipop/
It's an app that can be used as a widget and Tasker/ locale plugin for turning on and off mobile data. Still have to try it but sure it works. It's a temporary solution but it's better than nothing

Google Play Sore Error (-505) -- Lollipop

After updating to Lollipop on my Nexus 5, it restored all of my apps except for about 10. One of them is a widget that I use everyday called Simple Calendar Widget by MYCOLORSCREEN. When trying to download the app, it gives me the message "Unknown error code during application install: -505". It seems to download fine, but the message pops up during the install process. Anybody know about this issue or experiencing the same thing if you try to download this application? I also tried downloading the apk file online but that also fails to install. I can't find any info regarding this issue. Thanks.
I had this issue on certain apps as well. The dev of those apps needed to change something for it to work on Lollipop.

I've had this problem. Did a search with Google and it seems others are having this issue. Hopefully Google will have an update to fix.
Do a search in this forum. I replied with the cause and solutions. Was posted last week.

Code 505 is a permissions code. This typically means that the APK file already exists in your /data/app folder. You'll need to locate the APK files in question in the /data/app folder and remove them. You will need root to perform this action.
You came across this problem because you didn't do a wipe of your userdata partition when you jumped from Kitkat to Lollipop. I encountered the same issue because of that reason. I just ended up wiping and starting fresh as my phone hadn't been wiped since I got the device last November.

Are you sure? I flashed the factory image of Lollipop on my phone and it wiped everything. Afterwards, I had to also do a factory reset of my phone from the settings due to a storage issue. Why would that get left behind?
Edit: I checked (phone is rooted) and the app isn't in the /data/app folder

I spent an hour combing through Google group threads trying to get a real answer to this outstanding question. I was perplexed that only two applications of mine refused to install due to this error. The consensus was that the APK file was still there, or some remnants of data related to the application remained on the device that the Play Store service didn't like.
I ended up wiping my device twice:
Once by flashing both the userdata.img and cache.img files, which ended up giving me the storage issue bug on Lollipop. (Showing 16GB instead of 32GB)
Second by performing a factory reset from within the booted OS, which resolved the storage issue.
After that, everything was good to go. Have yet to encounter this error code again.

Hm alright. Where does the apk file need to be in order to use the adb install command? I want to see which app is conflicting with.

as long as you have adb working it can be anywhere as long as you know the path
so adb install c:\path\to\file.apk
as it happens with terminal emulator i could download the apk seperately, with other apps i'd probably download on my tablet and pull it off that

I had this issue trying to install Rom Toolbox. I uninstalled Terminal Emulator and the issue went away, probably because Terminal Emulator is included in Rom Toolbox.
How I solved it
In bootloader mode I flash from the factory image userdata and cache, then I wipe Dalvik, data and cache in TWRP after the first boot I skip the setup just too full factory data reset, in the second boot, I set up everything normal, but instead of restoring from previous devices I set it up as a new device, then I manually download the app that was giving the error, it installed without a problem.
I know is a little too much for an app, but it works for me.

I'm currently having the issue everyone mentions, except I already have ROM Toolbox Pro and was trying to install Terminal Emulator. Terminal Emulator in ROM Toolbox currently FC's on Stock (rooted) 5.0.1. But I use other features, like the Rebooter that I don't wanna sacrifice for just Terminal Emulator haha. Wish they'd fix this issue permanently

I know, that's why you can't install jackpal terminal emulator if you have ROM toolbox installed as it uses the same permissions.
Although you should read up yourself because if you did, you'd know the terminal emulator in rom toolbox force closes on lollipop on the nexus 5.
I understand this is a old thread but I fixed it a way that wasn't mentioned in this thread. Just thought I'd share for anyone googling this issue and finding this. What I did was go into the guest account and uninstall the app that was causing the issue such as snapchat. The way I caused it in the first place was installing snapchat on aptoide which installed it on both my account and the guest account and I decided I didn't want snapchat anymore so I uninstalled it but it was still there on the guest account which caused the error 505 whenever I tried to reinstall snapchat.

[Completed] Cannot connect to VPN with any app

Hello, I am using a sharp Aquos crystal(306sh) with root, xposed, and BusyBox all installed. Recently I have been faced with a problem that is quite annoying. Whenever I try to use a VPN app it will give me some sort of error. The main app I use is Betternet and when I tap connect it gives me a toast notification as follows: "Unfortunately, your Android does not support vpn, but you can still try restarting your device to use Betternet." This has become a real problem and has evolved from when it first began happening. when this first started happening it would just tell me to grant permission to Betternet on the prompt I was given, but that prompt would never show up. Thank you in advance to anyone who helps me and note that I would be happy to give any additional information on my problem, device, etc.
Hi !
Was this app ever working ? What android version do you have ? Have you purchased it from Google play or downloaded apk ?

Hi, Betternet was downloaded directly from Google play and I am on Android 4.4.2 KitKat. It was working before and I am not sure what could have caused the issue.
I've tried myself that app, it's working fine on nougat, uninstal it, reboot, do it again

Thanks, but I have already tried that. I don't think it is a problem with the app, but rather a problem with the system or maybe a conflicting app I have installed. The reason I am asking for help is because I DON'T want to factory reset and I don't want to accidentally make things worse. Do you have any ideas on what may be causing the issue? I would try to find out myself, but I just don't know where to start.
Do you have the VPN settings in network settings?
Try to set up from there
Try a different free VPN to see if it's app or system issue
Try to Google for kitkat vpn issues, apparently there were some reports
Xposed may have something to say, remove what you can until step by step you can identify the culprit

Yes, I do have VPN settings, but I don't know how to connect to Betternet through there. Also, I had googled this for a couple hours before posting and everyone seemed to have a different issue, but I will look again.
Finally, I have tried other apps and they all have the same problem. The problem seems not to be with connecting, but rather getting permission from the system to connect.

[Help] TWRP & DualBootPatcher keep stopping

So ive been rooted and have magisk installed and all that and I did it manually without twrp but I tried installing both of the mentions apks above since I wanted to try and set up dual booting so I could have my main OS and Kali Nethunter, but whenever I try launching either apk they will launch and then stop and crash the app and repeatedly do that whenver I try and it dosnt do it with any other app or any other app that needs SU permissions.
Im rather new to all this so just wondering if this is a problem for anyone else and if theres a solution to it?
(also forgot to mention its whenever primarly ive noticed when I try to go into the ROMs tab on either)
