[Q] Installing MultiWindow Mod problem

hi.
this is my first post and hope to get help, i am kinda noobish in android root files and system because i had a jailbroken iphone so i know alot about it but now im confused in android
so here is a problem installing this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1953705
it says:
- Flash modded framework files corresponding to your firmware
so i didnt know how to do that so i considered moving the files from inside it to /system/framework and /system/app
is that right? if no (pretty sure ), than what i should do?
than i installed the app that they said to install, but when i click it, i doesnt work, it just stops "unfortunatly, the app MultiWindow Control stopped"
so what i have done wrong?
now the multiwindow not working at all
note: i have galaxy note 2, jellybean 4.1.2 Build: LK7 , rooted, odexed
im sorry for posting it here, i wanted to post it directly in the thread but i need 10 posts, and i have nothing to say for now to reach the 10 posts
hope someone helps me..
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fixed this by reseting the phone to factory and flashed stock firmware (4.1.2) than rooted, than flashed the multiwindow.zip
all that after learning what is and how to flash.. i did flash many things before but i didnt realize what i was doing was flashing..

[Q] Switching from TWRP backups 4.4.4 to 5.0 file save problems

Just wondering if anyone knows a solution for this. I have 4.4.4 factory image flashed and backed up. Then i flashed the downloadable 5.0 ROM backed up. If i am using the 4.4.4 ROM it works fine. When I use the other backup to 5.0 i cant save files. For example from hangouts like a picture someone may have sent. Any ideas why and how to correct this? Thanks in advance.
Sorry I posted this in the wrong section.

software updates

So I've had my m8 rooted and unlocked since I got it last year... And have had a custom ROM flashed to it for the same length... I vaguely remember having to do something special when kit Kat 4.4 released in order to install as the updater in my setting could only download and not install... With the new lollipop being out... I'm having an issue as I don't remember what I needed to do any suggestions or links is appreciated..
Also.. my daughter playing w my phone one day managed to encrypt my phone storage and even trying a factory reset will not make it unencrypted... Any ideas on that ?
No one has any ideas?
i finally figure it out.. had to flash an updated FUU that returned it to stock etc.. this thread can be deleted

Unable to restore/mount/flash in TWRP and unable to achieve dl mode in LG Flashtool

Here's to hoping someone can help me out. My phone details before I messed up: LG G3 D850, rooted, TWRP 3.0, running Fulmics 5.2 for about 1 1/2 weeks
I noticed that I was not seeing the LTE indicator on my phone. I checked the HUB and saw the BootD850-30012016 data patch and figured that I just needed to install. So I flashed it and my phone wouldn't start. I was able to boot into recovery, so I figured I would do a clean install of the ROM so I did a full wipe, accidentally wiping EVERYTHING except for my external SD.
Result was that I can access TWRP but am unable to flash any of my backups or zips from my external SD, or OTG. I can see the files, but don't have the option to "swipe". I also am unable to 'mount' or 'install'.
At this point, I noticed that AT&T has finally released the OTA for Marshmallow, so I figured I would just use LG FlashTool and totally un-root and give the update a try. (BTW, I have used the flash tool many times with no problems/issues on both my phone and my son's D855).
Unfortunately, I am getting the dreaded "unable to change to download mode" after 15 seconds. I have uninstalled and re-installed Flash Tool, the LG Drivers and all files and used every port on both of my computers (Windows 10 btw) but can't get past the download error.
So...after many hours of digging, I took a leap of faith and was able to sideload Fulmics 5.1 successfully and install the 5.2 update from the HUB. I made backup of the ROM but TWRP still won't allow me to "swipe" and install/restore. I reinstalled TWRP using Flashify and it installed version 2.8 but still no go on flashing from recovery.
I realize that I'm lucky to have been able to figure out how to get the phone back using the sideload function in TWRP, but I really do want to go back to stock and it bugs me that I am unable to use my backups.
Sorry for the novel, but I wanted to be sure to include everything I did....if anyone can help me out I would be much obliged. My 11 year old is anxiously waiting on me to figure this out before she gets this phone (I'm moving up to the HTC 10 in a couple of weeks!). She still thinks I'm 'SuperMommy' so if I can fix this I get to keep my swagger!
I was also running fulmics 5.1 and updated to 5.2 in my phone but now i was having pretty good laggs and i finally realised that the update provided by the phone was corruped so i went on the official site and downloaded the same 5.2 OTAs from there and flashed it into TWRP recovery to finally get the latest version 5.3..know that is it always advisable to flash zip file when in recovery mode using TWRP recovery...The big mistake was cleaning also the internal memory of your phone.this caused the malfunction of twrp.
The issue is that most often i have seen cases of lagg in those updating to fulmics 5.2 from the Hub .sometimes in twrp recovery the update files will not successfully wipe and then reboot system with 5.2 installed but with many lagg the file downloaded there may be corrupted and not give you permission to swipe..if you really like fulmics and still update to the latest..Try this it may help you solve your problem:1 reinstall the fulmics 5.1 go to xdadevelopers.com/fulmics follow the link given by xpirit to www.fulmics.com and download the OTA 5.2(file size maybe 46 mb).. 2.reboot your phone now in twrp recovery it should now be able swipe and install..(if not then install Twrp 3.0 and try) 3-search the files in your internal memory or wherever you have downloaded it and flash it ..4.reboot system.That should be done!! In case you want to come back to stock and cant install from Twrp then the problem is with Twrp just download the latest version that goes with your phone.
Thanks guys for the suggestions. I finally figured it out after a couple days of sweating and swearing. Yaneddik, you were spot on about updating from the Hub. I ended up installing TWRP 2.8.6 and re-installed 5.1 from the Fulmics website along with the updates. Everything has been working great (except for losing LTE connectivity, but that's for another thread!). I'm not inclined to update TWRP to 3.0 unless absolutely necessary, 2.8.6 works just fine for me.

Am a newbie here but a long time rooter on my older phones. This is the first time that I've seen the Hub mentioned. Can you kindly post a link?

Hey there....you can access the Hub after you flash the Fulmics ROM. It's where you can get your tweaks, downloads, mods, etc. You'll find it in your app drawer.

[urgent help] permanent no service

It's been two weeks and it's getting really frustrating now! I can't get my signal, neither on Lineage OS nor in the stock ROM. My IMEI number is still intact. I can't find a modern.bin file in my stock firmware to update my modern but when I flashed my stock firmware,the baseband version got updated to the latest version. I tried restoring multiple nandroid backups with efs but nothing works. I have read almost every section and post on this forum and others but I've got nothing working on my device. I tried deleting the phone app and contacts too but
This thread is my final hope of getting any kind of help. I just hope someone is able to help me out :crying:
