Been trying to find someone that can tell me how to get touchwiz30launcher back on galaxy s 4g phone. I've tried pushing it with adb, still doesn't doesnt work. Is it possible to reinstall it? Or do I need to just reinstall the samsung version of 2.2 and where can I get that?

Did you delete the twiz launcher? or did you just install a new launcher and set it as default? if you did the default thing u can get an app from the market called home switcher to switch it back to twiz
I deleted it unfortunately.. before i backed anything up
I picked up an AT&T 4G LTE Note Pro (SM-P907a) yesterday and so far I am absolutely loving it. And though this is my first post, I am no stranger to XDA, I currently have Galaxy S4, Note 3, Note 10.1, and now the Note Pro, all are rooted running custom roms, minus the Note Pro. I have never hade to make a post before because I understand how to use the search function and have always been able to find the answersI have needed, until now. I am hoping someone can tell me if it is possible yet to root AT&T's version of the Note Pro 12.2, SM-P907A? Will CF auto root for the Verizon SM-P905 work? Or am I simply to ahead of the game and need to wait for root to become available? Thanks!
Same here. Just got mine. Want to use about 3 apps that require root. It's only been out one day. At&t probably didn't add anything to what Samsung did as far as locking the bootloader. All I really want at this point is root, I don't need a new room yet. Yet
Based on how long the Verizon variant users have been waiting. .. come back in September. In all seriousness though, I hope you folks don't have to wait that long...

brilliant!!!! thanks. I am installing busybox as I type this :laugh:
EDIT: haha spoke too soon, SuperSU won't install. Do you know how to get a custom recovery on it when rooted this way?
I can confirm towelroot is working for AT&T P907a.
Steps I took.
1. Download and installed towelroot (towelroot.com)
2. Ran towelroot apk, device rebooted.
3. Downloaded SuperSU 1.99r4 (download.chainfire.eu/447/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r4.zip)
4. Ran SuperSU apk, installed binaries, disabled Knox
5. Done!!

has yours been freezing and rebooting?
EDIT: also all I could find in the zip file was Superuser.apk, is that what you meant?

Mine has been running smooth, no reboots no freezing nothing. And yes unzip the file and SuperuserSU.apk is inside.

Mine is. But it was actually worse before root.
during one of the reboots I've been having it actually showed custom aND a lock that is unlocked. now when I reboot it doesn't say that anymore. root checker shows that it is properly rooted so I'm not sure that there's a problem.has anyone else noticed this?
I've had a couple of reboots.. what is weird is that it flashes to the at&t logo the my lockscreen. When I unlock it its like it rebooted but it happens so fast.. I am not sure if its a system reboot or just the user session crashing...

When I reboot now I see this custom android and unlocked logo at the bottom of the screen. What I am unsure of is if it had this before I rooted.
If someone who based rooted their 907a reads this please check if you get this on a bootscreen during a restart.
I would like to hear from a couple people how their tabs are doing after root. I'm thinking about doing it.
My AT&T Note Pro 12.2 keeps rebooting. My WiFi only 12.2 restarts when attempting towel root and never patches the necessary files. My AT&T Note 3 was flawless though. 1 out of 3 ain't bad I guess. Really just want the ad block ability. Is there an unroot so I can get my tablet to stay on more than an hour?
Me and my friend both got the att 12.2.
After rooting I've had reboot issues while he hasn't. So I've been slowly uninstalling programs that I use and he doesn't. Thinking it might be one program or another or a combo of programs. First I uninstalled Greenify to no effect. Next I switched back to the Samsung launcher from Nova Launcher Pro. So far its been two days without a reboot since switching back to the touchwiz launcher.
I ran Nova launcher fine before root.. And my friend with the exact tablet rooted the same way has had no issues..
Are you running a launcher different than Samsungs?
Ill report back.. but so far so good.
That's a very good point. I'm using the stock launcher still but I do have a ton of apps. I'll have to try deleting some see if that has any affect.
Ok, some added details on my "rebooting" although it doesn't show the samsung logo, so I don't think it is a full reboot.
I have noticed that the only time it happens is when I lock the screen or when it locks itself. Sometimes it has been locked for a while and it will randomly do it. I don't believe it has ever happened while I was using it. Oh, and a few times it happened while unlocking the screen. So it all seems to be related to the lock screen. I don't have any apps that add functionality to the lock screen. I have a pattern unlock and Smart Stay enabled (although this never worked for me, maybe my face is too weird to be detected? Lol). I am going through the process of turning off things to see what might be causing the problem. The first thing I disabled was the LastPass accessibility extension. I will give it a day or 2 but I have been playing around with locking and unlocking with various apps open as i write this and I haven't had a "reboot" yet.
I noticed that another poster had trouble with a different app and like him this trouble started after I rooted it. The LastPass accessibility extension worked fine before rooting. I will tell you what this extension does and maybe it will help us narrow down what area of the system has been changed to be incompatible with certain software.
The extension "watches" for password entries on apps and webforms and offers to autofill with saved passwords.
Sorry for the long post, hope it is helpful to someone.
I've been running Lastpass for months on my Wifi model so I doubt it is the cause. Good idea to systematically disable things though. I have problems since enabling a custom keyboard though. Perhaps try disabling all other input methods other than stock?

You're right, after a while it started doing it again. I guess it didn't happen as often as I thought. I really hope someone comes along who knows how to diagnose crashes to find out what is causing them.
I've been getting reboots also every once in awhile on my sm-p907a it reboots.I also tried safe strap recovery for the at&t samsung galaxy note 3 version 3.75.It seems to be working I did a nanoid backup and it successfully worked but took awhile. I didn't do a restore because I don't want to mess anything up until there's a stock Odin firmware download to restore if something goes wrong.The dpi is of but u can c almost the whole recovery screen if anyone wants to play around with it
Ok so this is my favorite phone ever. Saphire black s3 im on 4.4.2 with unofficial safe strap and flashed a s5 keyboard with out back up and know samsung keyboard just keeps crashing im stuck using swype or any app store keyboard but it bothers me knowing that its not right. I did a factory reset it did not work.

Since you seem to be rooted just remove the app you flashed. Go into system/app and/or data/app and remove it and reboot
From my S3 on Wicked 4.3
Hi, I have an S6 which has never been rooted or firmware modded. I was using Ultra Power Saving Mode on the phone without problems and then randomly a few months back I went to use it and it just hangs at "please wait".
I managed to reset, but it has happened ever since so I stopped using the feature and as I'm looking to sell now, I didn't really want this happening.
I should note, that I was originally using themes when this happened but uninstalled straight after but to no avail. Is there any fix for this other than flashing stock rom again?
Thanks
Take a backup of whatever you need and flash stock firmware
Better safe then sorry!

Okay thanks, looks like it's the only way forward - cheers.

as in the title, i unistalled or disabled samsung pay a while ago because i had no use for it, now i've got a compatible card and i want to use it, but i can't find it anywhere on the phone, samsung apps nor the device...
resetted to factory settings but problem remains, i wanted to reinstall a stock rom but i've seen all kinds of roms and i'm kinda nervous to flash in wifi, so do you have any suggestions about the rom to use, or even how to fix this problem
i'm on a SM-R760 on 3.0.0.2
Should install through the Galaxy Wearable App on your phone. When you try and access it from there if it isn't already on your watch it should install it.
no man it was nowhere to be found
btw solved: i changed the csc using this guide here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s3/how-to/guide-how-to-change-gear-s3-r760-csc-t3784226
simple as it looks, 5 minutes later now i have spay working (changed to italian)

How did you get SPay off in the first place? Mine won't let me do that and I don't use the tool.
