[Q] reboot from Android to Android

Sometimes Android gets slower and I want to reboot just Android, without going all the way back to WinMo. At the moment I use LCDDensity (marketplace) for that (apply the current density and it reboots just Android - very fast!). Can anybody tell me if there is another app/widget just to reboot Android back to Android?
Thanks!

Power off and on? Lol
Search market for reboot there's something there if not when you root it will show up reboot option in your power menu

hmmm... sorry, forgot to mention I'm on Hyperdroid1.6 on HD2. Reboot in the powermenu (hang-up button long press) reboots the phone and starts from WinMo. With LCDDensity it reboots Android, going back to the Android bootloader(?)screen and then you enter the code for the simcard again, etc. Android feels 'fresh' after that. Now if only I had a widget or something for that 'soft-droid-reboot'

Check out Hot Reboot, it's exactly what you're after.

Just don't forget busybox. Hot reboot depends on it.

[Q] Widgets Issue...

Alright this has been driving me mad for a while now and there doesn't seem to be an active thread with a solution to this.
Every once in a while when i boot up my phone will have problem loading widget. So i moved them back to phone for the ones that mattered and tried to select the widget again from the menu. Well they're not there any more. and even after a reinstall and reboot boot the programs don't show in the widgets section.
Has anyone had this issue and/or have a fix for it?
Thanks,
Urzu

What ROM? When you set the install location to automatic, widgets should install the the phone by default (which is where all widgets need to be installed, or you get errors when loading the widget). To be safe, I would set the install location to phone, then reinstall the widgets and see where that gets you... This is of course assuming you are running a ROM that allows for this.

[Q] D2 no longer rooted?

Ok so I had rooted my D2 a few days ago and had been looking into backup/recovery apps. Now however it seems as if my phone is no longer rooted. Is this possible? I thought I had read another thread where someone else was having this problem but was unable to find it. I tried to open up my superuser app and titanium backup app, but both ended in a failure and asked if my phone was rooted. Thanks in advance for anyone's help with this!
Also, just noticed that my superuser app isn't working correctly. The widget changed from being labeled "superuser" to "superuser permissions". I had assumed that this was after my phone had updated some other applications, however the superuser app won't turn on, it just gives me a black screen. When I tried to update through the market it said "Package file was not signed correctly". I'm unable to find the app on my phone so I can delete and try to download it again fresh. Thanks again for any advice anyone has!

Yeah. Phones can unroot themselves. This usually happens when the phone updates itself. Don't stress though... just root your phone again.

So, then with the superuser permissions app that I found on my phone...if I were to re-root my D2 with a different method of rooting vs the first way, would I be able to uninstall that superuser permissions app if I wanted? Thanks for such a quick response!

What was your first method. I would just use z4root. Also, did you install a custom rom? If so maybe reflash the rom after you are rooted again.
Sent from my ultra fast Liberated Droid 2

I had used the 1-2-3 step for rooting as my husband had suggested that. I have z4root installed now but haven't done anything yet. My husband had suggested I get some back-up apps for my phones system and also one for my apps in case I kill my phone. Will the droid 2 bootstrap back-up/restore my original phone system in case I do mess it up?

Power button options

Has anyone seen a power button mod for our tablets? I know the transformer has one. Just so that when I long press power button I can reboot or get into recovery instead of only being able to shut off the device.

root and install cwm... gives the option of shutdown, reboot, recovery, (and this is possibly just in thor's rom, but) statusbar toggler.

Yea, check out THOR's ROM. With his ROM, you press and hold the power button and are given the options to shut down, reboot, reboot into recovery, or open his special status bar mod.

Yeah but auto brightness and rotation lock don't work on Thor ROM correct?

There's an app called RomToolbox. It's designed for phones, but, it has the boot options in the app. So far, I've ran several of the options on my 501 and haven't had but 1 fc on the animation viewer.
But the boot menu seems to work.
So it seems to function, HOWEVER, some of the options I wouldn't advise using on your tab, because it's a phone app.

Quick Boot is another app specifically for reboot options. Thor's ROM is the only one I've tried that has reboot options when long pressing the power button.

Thors Revolver Rom, was originally ported from an Asus Transformer, which has those boot options. There's one other Transformer port that has it.

Just remember, there is no Fastboot with the Iconia.
It will just do a normal reboot.

Correct, but there is a rotation lock soft key when you click on the notification tab in the bottom right. You can also manually adjust the screen brightness here too, which is what I always did even with stock ROM.
In terms of changing the model name from EPAD, I'm not sure........ I never saw a need to change that.

check the themes and apps forum for a thread with a modified build.prop for thor's rom.
you could also manually change the build.prop yourself

yeah, I believe what it does is some sort of cache dump and restarts the android system only. as far as I understand. but yeah, it should save a touch of time off a full boot. I think the most used option, or at least that,s important to me, is the boot to recovery option. a real lifesaver!!!!

With update GPS works again
After I flashed the update my GPS works again. Lost it a few days ago for unknown reason. Tried everything. Even ODIN back to stock- still no GPS. Tried everything else I could read in XDA as well. Nothing worked.
But after flashing the latest update my GPS is working again. Awesome. No other issues that I have come across.

In most cases you can just dirty flash it, i.e. don't do any wipes. Make a nandroid backup first of course.

Getting Samsung screen, starting apps, then back to Samsung screen. Any solutions? (ROM slot 1 safestrap 3.75)

Has anyone else tried the pin lock?
I moved from maple leaf and now on a fresh boot, the pin lock is not enabled so you can just swipe to unlock. If after a boot you wait a bit for the screen to time out, then the pin lock is enabled. Before the first screen timeout, the power button does not lock the screen either.
Thanks for all your hardwork devs.

Long press back to kill apps is not working for me and the screen capture by palm motion is not working either.
Is any one having the same problem or just me?
Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk

Hi, I did it to work the long back kill button... on GF 4.1
Works for me the option to kill apps featuring wanam, I added the option to hold the back button to kill apps but this works with the menu button and not the back button...
Ok when we pressing the menu button the Super User ask me to accept a premise [Android System UID] but we will not be acceptable, since we cannot stop the countdown and we ended up giving the Super User...
As we turn to try and hold the Menu button and when the Super User asks us to accept the premise [Android System UID] you do this, blocked the screen normally and unlocked again, but this will froze and we cannot access our phone, (Well, do not despair ...) the display will work again once the Super User countdown ends, we will not see it, but do not despair...
Once you can access your phone, will still ask for the Super User permission to accept [Android System UID] and time accept the permission.
And now we have running the menu button to kill our apps.
I hope you can understand my explanation because my English is not good... And I hope to help ... For me it works great, I have found this method to see the [Android system UID] does not let me guarantee the permission, and I did this so its works…
Good luck…

Stock S5 Power Button Menu
Hi,
I'm trying to get a stock S5 look (with all the S5 features) on my S4. This is one of few ROMs that I really like, but I'm trying to make the 'power button menu' or the 'reboot menu' to look stock.
Can someone help me with making the 'power button menu' look stock (or minimal)?
Without using xposed framework, maybe by replacing .apk or resource files somewhere in /system?
By stock, I mean without extra features like "Mobile Data Mode, Take Screenshot, Flashlight, etc"
I've attached photos to show what I'm trying to accomplish.

Is there a way to change the soft key actions?

When I try backing up the Rom, I get a error message saying cannot backup /data

How to run ROM on stock Touchwiz kernel?
I really like this ROM for the GS4, I just wish there were some things I could change on my phone!
(I'm using a t-mobile m919, on stock 4.4.2 NB4 bootloader)
It is possible, (and how) to run this ROM using stock Touchwiz m919/i9505 kernel and bootloader.
I've tried installing it using AT&T (safestrap) and no kernel flash, it runs but WiFi Cannot turn on.
I've tried installing it using m919 and no kernel flash, it gets stuck on boot animation.
It works using the two custom kernels, but it is possible to run this ROM on stock m919 or i9505 kernel?
(And has anyone figured out how to make the "power button menu" look stock/minimal?
I feel like I'm going to accidentally hit "Data network mode," "Airplane mode," or "emergency mode" every time I try to mute the volume using the power button. I would like to get rid of those options if possible)

So i have been having some call issues.
Sometimes when someone calls or when I call we cannot hear anything on either lines.
Only way to fix this is restarting my phone.
