I was rooted and playing with a lot of roms when dj05 came out but have since gone back to complete stock. I flashed back using Adrynalyne's Full DI01 ODIN package and am now on the ea28 build. Since then I seem to have broken my stock calendar. If I make an event, add a participant, and try to send the invite, I get the error; no application can perform this task. Gmail is working fine, so I am looking for advice as to what could have happened and how to go about fixing it.
Thanks in advance.

Ok..... Does anybody know how I can reload the stock calendar app without being rooted?
*Update*
I had to do another full restore using the above said method and it seems that right away after setting up the phone that the stock calendar and gmail are unlinked. My wifes phone is out of the box stock and her calendar works fine. Can someone tell me how to do a backup of her phone that I can then apply to my phone? Keep in mind we are both not rooted and running EA28.
Thanks in advance.

As you can see my dates are a bit off. Ive done some searching and found others who have had the same issue. No definite solutions or explanations have been provided. This is super frustrating. Not sure why its happening or how to fix it. Im running the latest twrp, before that I was running cwm with the same results. I just did a backup about an hour ago and i couldnt tell you which one it is. Any help would be much appreciated.
Idk it was like this on the sprint gs3 also with twrp. So I just name the backups myself with the date I backed up.

The TWRP source is messed up and no one cares to dig in and fix it. Just manually name your backups.
I'm using philztouch and have not noticed the problem. Also a cool feature of that recovery is that it says what rom it is in the title, so even if the date happens to be off, the file name will give away what backup it is.

That has been an issue for over a year I believe. All CWM and TWRP versions that I am aware of have it. One of the Android updates broke the date function from what I recall. Might have been Jellybean. Since you can just rename the backups to whatever you want I guess the priority is at the very bottom of the list.

I use twrp 2.5.0.2 on this device and do all my nands to external and name them what they are.

Try Dream TWRP I installed it and my BU dates have been correct.
Yeah. Some have said there's a setting that you can change to fix that. I've yet to find it.
Hey everyone I have a few questions hopefully that can be answered. I took my phone to bestbuy today because I jacked up my recovery and it disappeared so they fixed that and now my root is gone which is what I wanted to happen because of the 4.3 update. If my phone is still rooted somehow will the update jack up my phone? Or will it just get rid of the root and make it like everyone else's phone? Second question. When I try and look for updates by hitting the update button in settings it won't let me do so. I remember freezing DM manager with titanium and I don't know why it would still be frozen because my phone got flashed back to stock. Does anyone else have this problem? Or is it just me... :/ I have a feeling its just me. Hopefully not and its just a common prob. If anyone can help me out I would appreciate it. Thank you!

you took it to best buy. to restore it to stock. it is stock, not rooted. The update button is for updates from samsung, you just got restored to the latest update. there is no updates available.
Is titanium backup still installed?

I uninstalled it cuz there was no need for it anymore. I don't have root access anymore but It is just odd that the Software Update button worked before and I was able to at least connect to at&t to check for an update and now it won't. I was wondering if there is a possibility that something glitched and at&t DM server is still frozen.

look in about phone>Device Status, does it say 'modifed' or 'normal'?'
Sorry for the late reply... it says Samsung so I'm assuming normal.

Not really scared lol. Last phone I had anything custom on was the s3. Looking around it's obvious things don't work the same.
Only thing I have done with this s4 is root. Now I'm wanting to run a rom without all the extra att bloat. So just wondering what rom and recovery I should go with. I have Nl1 if it matters.
I want the bloat gone but still have the fancy features. Any input is appreciated!

Lots to read. But, in case it isn't immediately obviuos, you will need SafeStrap and its recovery. You will only be able to run, for the most part, TouchWiz roms. No custom recoveries or kernels.
Yeaaa lot of reading done after posting lol. Got safestrap running and recovery. Decided on the golden eye rom. For some reason I lose imei. Created a new Rom slot for it and flashed the module after the rom.
Had this issue on the s3 but can't remember what I did to fix it. If anyone has any ideas let me know.

thanks bro working great now. everything i read said creat a rom slot. even a couple vids.
wouldn't hurt to back up efs also along with a nandroid now or however you do it on SafeStrap. Put a copy of both on PC also--:good:
backed up efs with samsung tools. nice to have an app for that now! also did nandroid.
for anyone who comes across this thread. get samsung tools here http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/efs-samsung-tool-universal-support-t2602325

So in these past few months, I've messed around with my phone a couple of times and a bunch of stuff happened, and I was unable to enter recovery mode. But now, for some odd reason, I just can! So I guess its time for me to flash a Custom ROM since I've had such poor battery life after rooting my phone (thanks to towelroot) and a bunch of other issues.
Do you think I should wait for an Android 5 Custom ROM or install an already existing ROM like CM11? I REALLY do love the Lollipop look, but I've been put under the impression that it's easy to switch from ROM to ROM, so is it just better to go to CM11 now and switch to a Lollipop ROM later on, when it's fully developed?
Thank you!

You can install CM11 now and when Lollipop is released, I'm sure that CM brings an update with the Android 5.0 build
And Lollipop will be released for the S4 in the next year, I guess, so lot of time since then.

okay great, thank you! also, I've been reading through the CM11 threads and I've noticed that there's a lot of comlplaints about battery life- how common is this?
and out of curiousity, is there a sense ROM for the s4 19505? i absolutely LOVE the sense 6 look, the settings page, the stock apps, everything looks very professional.
oh and, what other ROMs would you recommend for me? i know this is a very open ended question, but there's just so many options, i'd like to get some suggestions from people who are experienced. of course my priorities are battery life and speed.
thank you!

ahaha, thank you! also, one last question:
is the cyanogenmod easy install reliable? like the one on the website, is that applicable for the 19505?
do i just click on the get started button and just go on from there? or do i have to download a specific build for the 19505?
additionally, do i have to do a nandroid backup before doing this, and then restore again after its done?
also, has there been any problems with that? thank you!

Okay, first of all, you have to do backups everytime when you flash custom firmware. I recommend you to make a Nandroid backup and Titanium backup.
But when you install a custom rom for example, it doesn't make sense to restore the nandroid backup afterwards. Because than you restore the previous rom again. Nandroid is a complete system backup. This is just for the case when something goes totally wrong.
You have to read the installation introductions and follow them, than you are safe

What du you mean with easy install?
No, for restoring apps and settings you can use Titanium backup but be careful it is difficult to restore Touchwiz system apps on AOSP rom like Cyanogenmod. This might cause trouble and won't work.

like when you go to cyanogenmod.com, theres a "get started" and it instals pretty easily; no flashing needed. does this work for i9505? also, the only apps i'd like to backup are whatsapp, bbm, some of my games and my contacts. is it possible to backup my contacts?

This will lead you to the cyanogenmod installer and this works for your device.
Yeah you can select single apps you want to backup with Titanium. You can save contacts by copying them to external sd card if you have one. Go to contacts-settings-import/export contacs. That's all. Or you download backup software from playstore but I never testet them.

do you have any tips during and after flashing a custom rom? some people said let it settle for a day or so, without re-installing lots of new apps. this would apparently minimize battery drain, but i'm not very convinced. does this work?

i just found it through researching ahaha, but thank you!
i'll be flashing it once my phone is fully charged
so just to get this straight::
1) make a back up with CWM and Titanium
2) use the cm installer
3) reinstall all Titanium backups and apps from google play store
is that the usual order? thanks!
