Hi. I flashed the mod from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2355931
in order to get the torchlight option like on the s4 active. I've noticed since then that my S Health app crashes (it's not the multi Window app that is causing it, I had that problem before so I had uninstalled the multi window apk). Does anyone know how I can get rid of the torchlight mod without restoring my phone? Thank you in advance...

boot into your custom recovery, wipe cache & dalvik. flash rom/kernel/gapps/loki-doki (whatever it is specifically you need to flash). wipe both caches again and reboot.
that should overwrite the mod without resetting any of your shtuff. cheers.
Thank you so much, I'm a bit confused though, you are saying I have to dirty flash the rom I have, and loki doki? Thanks!

That's what he's saying. Don't wipe data.

You could probably use adb to side load a ROM and gapps, here's a example of how to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317986

Isnt factory reset, just wiping cache and dalvik? If yea, then dirty install isnt the best, depends on rom that im moving from.

factory reset wipes /cache, and /data (without wiping /data/media <--thats where all your pictures and rom zips are stored)
factory reset is needed when moving between completely different ROMs (you can get away with dirty flashes between SOME roms, but its rare)
Oh yea yea, I didn't wipe the internal, something went wrong and the file was deleted, but gapps was there and all my data was there, anyways fixed and got the new nexus 7, enjoying it, much faster and better!

Hi,
I have a galaxy s4 att rooted phone that is stuck in a boot loop. It turns on and works until it gets to to the att logo then it freezes. It happened because I tried to install a custom font on my phone using font installer. I looked everywhere on xda, google, and different sites but I didn't find anything. What I tried to do was use odin 3 and get it back to stock. I really don't need any of my data its fine if I don't get it back but I need it to be fixed. Its soft-bricked at the moment. I tried using different odin3 softwares and different files to work with odin and my phone, but they all give me fails. I used different usb cables and ports on my computer. I took all the advice I could from the internet but nothing. I was hoping someone could help me out here?

Can you get into recovery mode? If you can do a factory reset. It'll get you past the boot loop.

Yes but my only options are
Reboot system now
Apply update from adb
Apply update from external storage
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Apply update from cache
When I click wipe data/factory reset it just gives me the option to wipe the data.

Do wipe data /factory reset
I love how no one is asking the most important question... Are you on MF3, OP? It sounds like you are and if so, you are pretty much screwed unless you know ADB and know exactly what went wrong OR if the wipe data/factory reset works.
They are both the same by the way. Wiping data is a factory reset.

Well, you're helpful. The dude has a serious problem and you butt in with that? Troll somewhere else!
Unfortunately ADB is not a specialty of mine. I also have no idea what went wrong. I know what you told me, but there is more specific things than the process of changing the font.
A system file that got changed. What was the change? Where is the file located? What is the file name? Are there more than one that could have been changed?
I am more of a hardware specialist. I know the bare basics of software but not enough to be confident enough to walk you through changing system files.

How is that trolling? Name me a device - any device - where to update your device to the latest version as it came out improved the hackability of it.

Have a nice day
Manually put the phone into download / ODIN mode (if you can), then, manually cancel out of download mode and see if your phone will reboot.
Like this guy tried in this post...and see if it works for you.

Because I know what is needed, but not exactly how to do it. I can give enough info to spark some interest in research. I didn't put anyone down, so don't try to make me look like the bad guy.

I'll go with that. Didn't want to make you look like a bad guy. I agree, people here need to do a lot more research before they mess with their phones. No worries. I know you know a lot about the devices. I too hate to see people mess up their phones because they don't read and learn.
No harm done. If i knew exactly how to solve OP's problem, I would. I would also tell them to not mess with stuff that can break their expensive ass phone until he/she fully understands the risk involved. I completely understand the risks and am ready to have a broke device. I am still careful with my phone though because I don't want to have to be ready. Especially since my phone shipped with MDL. I don't want to risk getting a MF3 device.

Are you using updated GAPPS? Try re-flashing the current version of apps for your rom and seeing if that resolves your problem.

also are you using a different DPi with playstore? ie. Paranoid Android or Per App DPi with Xposed?

Did you try just reflashing the gapps? I had an issue during a flash once were my Google store installed & opened but wouldn't let me download anything new or verify any license for my paid apps; making then force close. Reflashing fixed my problem.

A clean installation should resolve the issue, (clearing system, dalvik, data and cache) than reflash your ROM first followed by gapps before rebooting. If you're flashing a different kernel as well than first flash the ROM > Kernel > gapps and make site you clear your dalvik and cache before flashing gapps.

You returned to stock with odin and it still won't work? If you have then it's an issue with your Google account.
Try clearing all the cache for anything that has to do with google in your application manager. (ex - framwork services, play store, etc.)
Nevermind. I did a factory reset from philz touch and now im in cyanogenmod. But i dont even have google play. I need to read up about this...
Nice mod thou. Last time i used it, it was at 7
Damn. Lucky my phone did not brick. Now i need to install google play somehow.
Thanks.

I see that cm 11 has to option to change from Dalvik to ART.
Any precautions or special instructions one should take before switching?
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda app-developers app
Basically I wouldn't do it unless you full data wipe, in fact I'd wipe everything, install cm, boot, flip the switch, wipe system and caches, flash ROM, flash gapps and cross my fingers. Seems to break every app (wiping caches no help) and essentially force me into a full data wipe / restore to get a phone back if I try without a wipe.
Hint: always nandroid, Hint: there is a Nexus 5 art to dalvik flashable zip which I knows works too. (Google the same), Hint: its been awhile since I used ART.

Well if you have newly installed the CM rom,switch to ART right after you set up the ROM initially that way the system will have less apps to convert to ART runtime but one can do it even after installing all the apps on their phone would just take longer that's all. Just be sure not to install any non ART runtime supported app cause if you do and when you reboot it will switch back to DALVIK. that's the only precaution you need to take
only one drawback i see in A.R.T. is, its not compatible with Xposed framework
ART made my old nexus 7 feel like a new device. Apps open up faster. Scrolling is overall smoother everywhere and stuttering is greatly reduced.
Haven't had any issues with it whatsoever.
And yes I did use the option in the developer settings to switch.
