Always asks for default launcher - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just updated to 4.4.2 [Note 3 n9005] UK firmware from SamMobile and rooted using CF-AutoRoot
Now, my problem is when ever i reboot my device it asks for Launcher.
I have also set TouchWiz Home as default Launcher in settings but.

Try using another launcher (set it as default) and freeze the default launcher with Titanium Backup and see if that problem exists. And another thing; When it asks you to select a default launcher, do you select always?

Do you use SD Card? If yes try formatting it after you copy all the files to your pc and slowly copy the files again to find a corrupted file/app. Maybe that file is the reason of this. If you cant find any corrupted files on your card try factory reset.

I had this same sd card before updating so it shouldnt be the reason.

Still a new app you installed or a file can cause a problem. Also try freezing some apps(preferably recently installed ones) with Titanium Backup and check if issue still persists. If yes, i think best choice is factory reset.

In addition to previous post - Make sure you know what you are freezing and be sure that this app is not vital resource to Android, otherwise you may end up in a bootloop.

Deleted phone.apk

Using the clean masters suggested apps that can be uninstalled to speed up the phone it has somehow deleted the phone app does anyone know how to get it back without factory reseting!

Just backup your apps and factory reset. It's the best solution. It will take you 5 minutes.

Well the phone apk is a system file so if its been deleted doing a factor reset won't help. All factory reset does is wipe the data partition where your user apps and settings are stored. Its not like factory reset uses a backup file to restore things.
I assume you are rooted to have done this. You may be able to find the apk from another two rom , extract it, and see if it will install. If not you may have to Odin back to stock to restore it if you want to keep the stock ROM.
Sent from your phone. You should be careful where you leave that thing.
Do you Know how our where to Get the .apk file?

Unless you knew what specific apk you're looking for I'd Odin back to stock and start over. Good learning lesson

When i went from htc one to n3 i just signed in to WhatsApp and it restored everything it self
But I used another country's number to sign in and then changed to another one, is there a way to get the data back from the old number??

Copy the whatsapp folder from oldphone and put it into your note 3 internal sd under same folder name. Then install whatsapp and will ask you if you want to restore. ... You say yes and get all your files and messages back. ..

Before that. Make sure on your old phone that you go on Whatsapp. Then to the settings>chat settings>backup now. Then you will have the latest backup, copy whatsapp/databases to your new phone in the same DIR and then restore.

TiBu Pro

Hello all,
I did a backup of just user apps on my stock ROM. I was able to apply the backup to Ellipse ROM no problem. When I try to apply it to Baja ROM it only shows 3 apps but there is 39. I try and point it to the correct folder where the backup is which is already shown. So what am I doing wrong. Is it possible that Baja doesn't support it or something?

It works fine on Baja ROM. Try clearing the app data for TiBu then point to your backup folder again and restart the app. Also make sure you have USB Debgging checked in Developer Options.
Thank you so much. That worked.

[Request]Wireless storage

Can someone port wireless storage to Cloudypro II (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2680745)
Funny I just uploaded the APK here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2681527
See if it works.
It should be in /system/app
There might be some system UI tweaks to get it into the "Settings" app. Perhaps you can install it and create a custom homescreen shortcut to enable/disable?
Haha that's funny I just had finished doing this and then saw thread. I was running stock KitKat and bad backed up wireless storage with TiBu I restored it on cloudypro and used nova to create a shortcut/activity to it. Seems to be working fine
Sent from my LG-D800 using Tapatalk
i dont know what i've done wrong. Shortcut in settings has appeared, like in stock , but it doesnt work. When i try to turn off wireless storage it automatically restarts, so i cant turn it off. And my pc cant go to \\192.168.0.73
I tried to use apk from OptimusRs Pro 2 Rom For LG G2 V3 , but i had the same result

I'm actually back just on stock KitKat but all I did was restore the backup from titanium backup of wireless storage from stock KitKat ROM on cloudypro and using nova launcher created a shortcut to it. Enabled it navigated with PC to IP and worked. I can upload the apk if youd like but I imagine its the same as what is already here?

did you actually use it? or just check the menu in setting. if it worked and you used it it would be great to upload you Titaniumbackup file not just the apk
You can found in Play Store dude !
I haven't seen anything in the play store that was remotely close. Most apps use a webpage to act as a file explorer. Can't network share directly.

Viper4android on KK not working.

I just updated to 4.4.2 (stock, deodex) and to my surprise I can't get into the sound fx settings. It crashes. Everything installed correctly from what I could tell. I saw in this forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/themes-apps/viper4android-soundfix-4-4-1-4-4-2-t2564725 there is a fix but it's a nexus 4 forum. Does anyone know if I can use this method for my note 3? I'm on the latest safestrap (3.72) and want to verify I won't brick my phone or if it's even possible to flash the zip file with safestrap. Thanks guys.

I'm not now but I was and it worked fine. You can flash zips in SS, as always make a backup just to be safe.

copythe file to system/app and changing permissions to rw-r-r. Restarting and running the app from the app drawer... that's all I did and it ran perfectly

Everything installs correctly with the exception when I go into the sounds settings, crashes. I am trying to choose viper4android Fx, I have tried every suggestion. I have not flashed the fix file because I don't want to brick my phone
Sent from my SM-N900V using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
It worked for me by doing the following
Copy all to system, priv app, the changing permissions to rw-r-r, then rebooting immediately
Then as soon as it boots you will see the Android is updating the go to settings, the sound and select Viper and reboot again
Then go into your build prop and change the settings and save go into app and download drivers, then reboot
From there you should be working . Make sure not to change the email settings in music on Samsung music app If you are using that or any other player as that has given me issues I leave everything alone and it works for me when streaming via Bluetooth even with the stock music app I don't use world headphones so not sure if it works there but I've tested on:
Samsung stock music app
Mxplayer
Sirius xm
allshare cast
Good luck

Edit: under processing it's says: no
Does that mean it's not enabled?

Correct...you made sure busy box is installed and changed build prop ? I have had a similar issue trying to manually install apk . So I deleted it and just downloaded it from the play store and installed it that way.
P.S. also realize it doesn't work with the stock music player. Only 3rd party music players.
