Anyone have this issue with ROM Manager?

I've been having this issue but haven't said anything about it because I can get around it....but when I select back up current ROM or boot into recovery the screen goes black like its going to boot into recovery and the hard buttons at the bottom front of the phone all stay lit up and it stays like that unless I pull the battery....it happens in this latest version of ROM Manager and in the one before it...like I said I can still work around it and boot into recovery using the power button but it bothers me a little....I been on the latest version of VU....

why don't you just do it the manual way through the bootloader?

Ya I do it that way as well and it works that way as well I'm just wondering is it my device or the program that's acting up...

I had that issue a few times, seems like a bug in the system. they'll figure out way to fix it in time. Android=patience(mainly if you want something done right)
From my fist to your face, enjoy!

Try to get in recovery from 4 way reboot....if it does it there its probly the device. Slim chance rom mangr & rom both have same problem

[Q] Can't Boot to Manual Recovery

Hi guys. Since flashing Beans version of KitKat for my Note 3 my phone will no longer boot to manual recovery (volume up, home, power). The phone goes into a boot loop. The phone does reboot normally after the battery is pulled.
Any ideas on what's causing this and how to fix it? Any and all help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Are you just trying to access safestrap ?

No safestrap works fine. I'm referring to the manual recovery mode of the phone. Volume up - Home - Power when the phone is powered off.
If I attempt to reboot to the stock recovery menu (either via the above mentioned method or even after installing the option with Wanam) I get a boot loop.

Never had that issue I did notice when running it I couldn't use the emulator script to enter recovery but was able to power off and manually enter it. Might try to re flash and wipe I don't know if that will fix your issue or not.

I've tried reflashing and wiping already. No luck.

Not sure then best advise I could give you is stay on 4.3 for a while I didn't really think 4.4 was that great plus not a lot of rom option's just yet.

1. 1.4gb RAM is nothing. If your phone starts force closing, something must be out of place here.
2. You mentioned you entered recovery mode and it was in Chinese, meaning that you got a fake/clone. A picture would be handy here for verification.

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.

Thanku very much

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.

Pull up might be baked into twiz launcher. It's disabled using apex.

Hold on home screen and hit settings to disable pull up or delete the apk from system/app folder

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.

Can't upgrade from 2.2

[Resolved]
Help, I downgraded from 2.3 to 2.2 for various reasons,but now when I try to upgrade again I just get the pink screen ,if I try using the option from settings/storage,it says key data couldn't be backed up , the installation will stop. Also if I boot into the system it runs fine for about a minute then locks up completely so I can't even continue to use it in 2.2 can anyone advise ?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Free mobile app

Try to put the 2.3 dload folder to a sd card, then remove the battery, plug in a USB cable to the computer and the phone, volume up+down+power (if I remember right lol). See if it will update that way.

no, that's the usual way I've been flashing it, I can get to the image folder ,but it won't boot into recovery either

Odd. Maybe try to flash the ICS pink screen unlocker? I had weird issues at some point too, then I flashed that and the problems went away. Afterwards flash ICS.

Just tried that,still no luck,it doesn't even get to the unpacking screen,it just stays pink. beginning to think its beyond repair

I think it's still possible to fix it. I was loosing hopes too, but I messed around with it anyway and got it working. Just try different dload's, different methods and maybe you'll get it running. Maybe other users will have some ideas too.

@Moihack maybe you have any ideas? You've written this to me before:

As long as your phone still gets power and pink/blue screen shows there is nothing to be afraid of yet,since this isn't a hardbrick.
Contact me on hangouts telling me what you have done resulting in the above issue.
I have bricked my u8800pro in every possible way both soft and hard brick (thank god warranty was still active back then).

Hi there!
I think when you upgrade from software menu there is an option for data back-up.
Uncheck this option and the error should go away.
Also what do you mean with this: "Also if I boot into the system it runs fine for about a minute then locks up" ?
What do you mean it locks up? Touchscreen is not responsive for example?
My suggestions:
1) Do a factory reset and then check if you can upgrade
2) Try re-installing your recovery(use cwm 5.0.27 by geno for best compatibility) or even replace the whole image folder with the froyo one from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2146856
Your phone is not beyond repair that's for sure. Since it boots fine.

I haven't noticed an option for data backup,will check again later on. And yes when it locks up touch screen becomes unresponsive and none of the buttons respond either. Also when I try to enter recovery ,both custom and stock, it displays the kernel logo then vibrates with a black screen for a second then back to kernel logo and continues to boot.

Ok guys,I copied over the stock image folder and now it works ok, however I still can't upgrade from froyo. At least I can use it again though so thanks for your help, its much appreciated. Incidentally, there wasn't an option to back up data when upgrading, but that error has now gone, except it now just reboots instead, so I will just keep trying.

[Edit] Finally I've managed to upgrade to GB , had to put both step 1 and step 2 in the same dload folder and it worked. So cheers for the tips

You've put all steps in one folder?
