How to remove the soft keys? - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Pie doesn't seem to work and the auto hide soft keys app from the market only seems like a temporary fix. Are there any pie substitute out there, or can we expect to see paranoid android port over this feature soon (among with an amazing ROM)?

LMT Launcher is the same thing as pie http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330150
and if you have root you can disable the softkeys from the build.prop
add this at the bottom and reboot
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1

I know, but I can't manually install apk files for some confounded reason.

have you tried going to settings / apps swiping over to the "all tab"
and go threw all the motorola apps disabling them and wiping data & cache for them, then reboot?

Sadly, that had no effect whatsoever. Any other ideas?

try removing your Google account from the phone, then when you sign in with it again make sure you untick that box about privacy which is supposed to be the cause of this problem.
to do this you will need root, and a root file explorer
go to
data / system
and delete Accounts.db and reboot

You try copying the apk file to /mnt/obb, change the permissions (others should be able to read so something like 777 will do) and install it from there.
It should work.
I think there is some funny stuff going on with the multi user changes introduced in 4.3, I guess the reason why a factory reset works for people (it didn't work for me)
is because the fs will be recreated (permission wise)

Never seen this issue on any other devices with 4.3 or 4.4, think its some Motorola specific thing, i wanted to have a look at the system.img
but its spilt into three parts with a weird format that i have never seen before, nor can i find any info only about it online
system.img_sparsechunk.0
system.img_sparsechunk.1
system.img_sparsechunk.2

New to rooting. Applications aren't working.

Recently rooted Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1. As of now I'm running Cyanogen Mod 10. Before that I was using Cyanogen Mod 9.0. However I've experienced the same issue with both roms. My favorite apps wouldnt open. However Google play store works so I figured its not my gapps.
1) Spotify- just shows a blank screen nothing else.
2) Evernote- not able to create the database file and tells me to restart the device and make sure my memory card isn't full.
3). Lecture Note- App needs a directory at the media/shared/external storage (SD card) to store the notebook.
So just by searching the forum and not seeing much on the topic, I figured I missed something in the process.
I don't use titanium backup and neither am I familiar with it. But if I have to learn then please tell me so.
I've always wiped before flashing roms.
I know CM 10 is a nightly and all that jive but I really like it. But without apps working then it is useless for me.
Oh and not sure if this is related but every download from a hyperlink on a web page results in a download unsuccessful.

May be try to reflash rom again latest nightly for your specific device + flash gapps jellybean not ics + full wipe after flashing those (wipe cash+wipe dalvik cash in advanced options)
If not working so try wipe data of apps you want in setting
If not so send messages to developers may be their apps not compatible with jellybean need update

Netflix
My device P5113 4.04 stock
I rooted using this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1657056 but now netflix will load up, and I go to play a video and load forever then i get error 11003(note netflix works fine on my phone/ps3).
Does any body know a fix for this?
The original reason i rooted was to attempt to move the notification bar to the top (i hate it at the bottom b/c I constantly hit buttons). So i tried to do this:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/18063-move-the-status-bar/
(1) download ES File Explorer
(2) go to settings and activate root explorer and mount r/w
(3) navigate to /system/
(4) click on build.prop and select "ES Note Editor"
(5) look for the line item called "ro.sf.lcd_density=160"
(6) edit it to read "ro.sf.lcd_density=161"
(7) exit and save the file
(8) reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and I broke android(would not boot, go only a black screen) b/c i added this to the file, because i didn't find it, so i had to reinstall.
So my other question is is there anyway to move the status/notification bar to the top? Im about to go back to stock but, i will root again if i can fix netflix.

DE maxx here with root and system rw access.
No matter how many times i delete/uninstall these two apps, they always come back. freezing works just fine. Any reason why I would be able to make any other system mod and have it stick, but i would be unable to completely remove these two?
They're in read only memory and aren't really deleted? Did you boot into r/w mode when you deleted them?
I had a hard time changing the extension on the boot sound file and it kept coming back as you described.

Yes i was in R/W mode. I thought the same thing and tried it several times when booting to recovery & r/w mode. Its strange cause other system apps/files could be modified/uninstalled and it would stick... it was only these two
That weird I had no problems removing them from my non Dev ed

I found them eventually... somehow they got copied elsewhere, which was causing issues removing... once i killed them from the secondary spot TB uninstalled flawlessly

Stuck in a boot loop after changing app permissions

I posted this in the Nexus 7 section, but this can apply to all AOKP based ROMs that have the "Permissions Manager" option.
Running SmoothROM with 4.2.2 (I think) and I was messing with the "Permissions Manager" settings under "Settings". I turned off several permissions on Facebook, such as SMS view/sender and location on it as well on some other apps. I then rebooted the tablet and now I'm stuck on a boot loop. I don't get how because these aren't system apps, so I don't think it should affect the system booting up at all. Sadly I didn't make a nandroid backup before doing this, since I thought the worse that could happen would be the apps force closing which is easily fixed. Since I didn't make a backup I rather try things that wouldn't make me lose any data.
I can get into recovery (TWRP) and have already made a backup of the current boot looping state. I have already tried deleting cache and dalvik-cache and still won't boot.
I have an idea: Turning the "Permission Management" setting to "Off" would make the apps have their default permissions. I would have to get into /data/data/com.Android.Settings and find the "Permissions Management" setting and set it to "false" or "off" through ADB. So I would have to pull the file and push the edited file back through fast boot or recovery. Anyone think this would work??
FWIW: I updated the kernel (Franco) with his franco.Kernel app 1 reboot ago, but it rebooted fine, not sure if it could be the kernel that has me in this bootloop?

Thanks for the reply.
I'm not talking about .apk or file permissions. I'm talking about permissions apps request, such as location, internet access, billing, reading contacts, etc. That's something the "Fix permissions" option in recovery mode has nothing to do with.

Im sorry but it sounds like if this issue cant be resolved you might need to reset youre phone but try to go into recovery mode and mess around and see if you can find anything that has to do with booting, good luck and ohh one more thing if all else fails in recovery mode try and find the wipe cache partition option and proceed to that ^.^ :good::good::good:
If you have the backup file you can try to reflash the rom

Integration of System Updates to ROM with TB fails

Hi,
anyone else with the same Problem?
Since KitKat (and still with Lollipop 5.1.1) the Titanium Backup function to include Systemapp Updates to the ROM fails. Happens at all Google Apps, FileCommander and Sony Apps.
There is no Error Message. In some cases it only deletes the App completeley and in other cases the progress is running endless (tested for 1 Hour without completion).
Device is Bootloader unlocked, rooted (SuperSU)....... any Hints?
Hmm I had no issue with kitkat, but it definitely does not work with lollipop.
Issue is with tb it's not going to create a subfolder and put libs in subfolder.
If you want to integrate apps, copy the apk from data directory and paste it over system apk, and then replace all the libs using same process.
Reboot phone so it optimized new system apk, then under normal application management uninstall app and replace with factory version (which will be new version)
Reboot and you should be good, restore data if you need to.

Can you give me the necessary Directorys for Internal Memory Apps and System Apps, please?
It's /data/app/ and system apps are either in /system/app or /system/priv-app/
If you go into TB backup/restore, find the app, touch it for more options, right under the freeze option touch the name and it'll give you exact locations as well
Sent from my SCH-I545 using XDA Free mobile app
Hi!
Is TB do an update to fix this bug ?
I try to contact them to many times and no one answer me.
Did you find another app to do that ?
Did you still with manual methode ?
Tks
Still broken, only manual method works.
It's like it can't make subfolders in system
Just do it manually not so bad. Copy the updated files from data to system app folder, change permissions and hot reboot.
Android will do the rest.. no data loss or having to install/uninstall.

Resize Nexus 4 Partition Size

Hi there,
Making long story short, I need more size added to android system directory to install more system apps. I am running on Chroma(Android 6.0.1 ver.) for Nexus 4.
I am left with some 80 MBs whereas I have 12 GB free in data. Help me add some size to system from data so that I can install chrome, camera etc... as system apps (user apps to system apps method).
Please help me out!
Thanks for reading.
Your response will be highly appreciated.
Can't you have these apps as user apps installed? Just after wipe you can install 'em back or just restored a backup u would have done earlier.
But about ur question, I think it's possible by resizinig using fastboot, or just running on pc gparted and then repart ur phone, but I don't give any warranty it will be working

I mean you can install these apps from Play Store and leave them installed, or you want to have them installed as system apps, don't you?

Yes I do want to install them as system apps but for that I have to resize system partition size....how to resize that? Can you tell me fast boot commands? Or gpart method?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Okay, but what is main reason you want to have them as system apps installed?
Now I've realized it's not easy as i thought, because to use gparted u need to see all avaible partitions on phone, afterwards it's very simple
About fastboot i have no idea what commands should you use, just i know it's possible to do it with it.
But i also realized, when i had my old htc hd2 - when i was flashing recovery, for every rom were special requirements about partitioning internal memory. Then with flashing file was a file containing script which was formatting the memory, just in every rom u had to change values. I'll check it when i will have time and let you know how was it.
