I had to factory reset my stock phone and now I am missing the Samsung Kids Mode app. Any ideas as to how I can get it back?
This may seem like a strange request but hey it keeps my kid occupied in the car.

Did you find an answer? I lost mine but i always assumed it was because I installed a 3rd Party Launcher (Nova)
Go to your home screen and add a widget. One of the widget options should be kids mode, select kids mode and add it. Once added just click and it will install and prompt you to follow a few steps. I think installing TSF Shell is what I did to lose it.

i decided to find out what the hullabaloo about Beautiful Widgets was and bought it... and then tried their fanciful widgets and weather and stuff. Not sure if I get the deal, (I look at the sky to find out the weather and I dont need more reminders of what time it is) but anyway -- last night I got into some settings in BW and then remember something about "reboot to disable home button" or whatever and I forgot I was not rooted, so I went ahead with it. (Had i been rooted I would have done a data wipe and restore and not needed to make another XDA thread)
But now I cannot use my home button. It goes nowhere. It vibrates but thats it. Doesnt go "Home" and long press doesnt give me my last 6 apps.
I uninstalled BW (both the apk and whatever the widgets were) so now I have no more BW on the phone, and it somehow even reset my system settings so I had to set that all up over again!!!!
I had Launcherpro apk and Zeam and have uninstalled both of those and now I only have ADW launcher. I set the ADW settings to enable the home button to go to "default screen" but now it doesnt do anything.
I havent been able to use home button normally since that Beautiful Widget setting thing last night.
My next step is to go into fastboot and do a data-wipe (the stock settings for data reset doesnt really come close to what a fastboot data wipe does, I think) but then Ill have to deal with restoring a non-rooted phone and not looking forward to that without my beloved Titanium Backup.
So anyone know Beautiful Widgets inside out who can let me know how to get my home button back to normal. Otherwise its a hardware issue and I doubt it because ive been treating this phone like its the queen of england, delicate and carefully.
Im positive this was caused by a Beautiful Widget setting change...
solved
I tried everything possible.... and got so pissed about the home button not working that I did a factory reset off the SPL. That fixed it -- my home button now works.
So something in the Beautiful Widgets settings caused something to become embedded and it made my home button useless. Im 99.9% sure of that -- .01% would go towards "hardware malfunction".
careful in those BW settings. nice widgets, but horrible batt-drain. Too Sense-i for me.
Did you try resetting the default app settings for Beautiful Widgets or the built-in launcher? Menu -> Applications -> Beautiful Widgets -> Reset Defaults.

Hi
My home buttom was disable by some apps. it's not working anymore
i can use homebutton to wake up the phone or going into recovery.
but can't use home button to get out of apps or in the homescreen
anyone know how to enable it again? thanks
sorry for my english
Factory reset.
I'm just curious here as I've been on android a long time and never seen an app that disabled the home button.What app(s) did you have that disabled the home button? I'm afraid avetny may be right but before you do a reset uninstall the offending apps if you've not already done it.

I know this is an option. but i prefer not, if i can have another option.
thanks
my last option like avetny is factory reset. done. work. i know it's a software.
but for krabman question. I don't know what's apps cause it.
but I was playing. change my android id apps and go locker at the time.
I guess one of those apps cause the trouble. more or less. change my android id was the last use before I restart the phone.
Hey Guys, Ive got an infuriating problem. I cant pulldown my notification bar, my notifications just sit there taunting me, or at least they did till I remembered the dedicated nav key option lg offers but still I don't want to have a non functioning notification bar. I didnt do anything to my phone around the time this happenEd, just picked it up and found I couldn't pull it down. I've tried restarting, reflashing and wiping. I've even got it back to "unrooted" status in both the settings and download mode incase its a digitiser issue. Any thoughts guys? Id rather not loose my pride and joy for a week at the least if you guys have some ideas.
Thanks for your time and assistance :fingers-crossed:
I jave tje same issue are you using the xsposed because thats about wen mine happened. After i updated i noticed the center clock freezes and notification wont pull down. How ever a system ui reboot(soft reboot) fixes my issue

I might have done something with xsposed, maybe hiding the location icon. I reflashed the entire phone so Im pretty sure that includes a ui reboot somewhere in there. Also I found out it works in landscape mode, I can just pull it down like regular. Using the dev features "show touches" "show touch data" in none of my touches are recognised where the notification bar would be (top 1/4th inch near mic) even when in landscape mode.

So you wrote xposed? Or are you saying you enabled things in xsposed

I enabled things, not many, if any. They would have been enabled for a while tho before the problem arose. Wouldn't reflashing the system wipe out any software changes?

Hi,
I have a strange issue with my galaxy s4 i9505, lollipop. My clock get stuck when I lock my screen. And time does not update even when screen is unlocked i.e the clock starts from the same time when screen was locked. For example if I lock my screen at 10:00 am, and if after one hour I unlock the screen, the clock will start from 10:00 am instead of 11:00 am. I tried searching on the internet but I could not find any help regarding this. However there were discussion about the lag of one or two second about the time update when screen unlocks. Any ideas about this??
Factory reset, I guess.

Do you have automatic date & time enabled?
I had something a little similar, but it included all my widgets. are you using go launcher or a go product like next3d launcher ? the problem persisted thru different firmwares and launcher updates. I had to go into the launcher and stop it so that it would restart itself. sorry that I don't have a solution, I never got to the bottom of the issue, it simply stopped happening at some point and I'm not even sure why...

Yes, I tried both enabling and disabling it, issue stays as it is. Currently it is enabled. I have no clue what's wrong. It is so annoying

I am not using any go launcher or go product. All things/apps are default that come with lollipop.
Hi guys. New here on xda. Just wanna know if anyone else has this problem. Seems that randomly when I toggle airplane mode my phone suddenly hangs up/freezes for about 20 secs then restarts. Afterwards when the phone boots, I wont be able to access recent apps (Tried binding it to other keys to no avail) and developer options goes missing (tapping the build number didnt do any good on it) I hope I could send some logs to show you guys but I dont know what to send lol.
1. What I know is it randomly triggers when I toggle airplane mode(sometimes it doesnt happen)
2. I only experienced it with the 2nd builds Cm,aospa,aicp.
Anyone else experiencing this on mm roms? Any fixes?:crying:
This happened to me also. Not just with airplane mode toggle. The other toggles set this off to. the phon also lost the ability to go to home screen by pressing home botton. During the first time that this happened to me, switching users restored the developer settings; and the notification drawer if it also disappeared. But now it doesn't work.
You can substitute omni switch for the recents.

Flash again and use banksgapps instead of opengapps, there seems to be a problem with opengapps.
Link are in thread Paranoid Android Jiayu S3+ first page.

Thanks, but I already tried that to no avail. It seems to be something with the modem of build 2 since it only happned to me when I toggle airplane mode and once when I tried to turn hotspot on. Wifi and bluetooth are ok though.
Did you try this?
Code:
adb shell am start -n com.google.android.setupwizard/.SetupWizardTestActivity
Even Nexus phones experience this. It's some kind of a MM bug.

Do adb commands work without developer settings enabled? Gonna try this anyway though im a bit skeptical. Developer settings also disappears along with the recent apps after the reboot.

You can also use Nova Launcher to start the SetupWizardTestActivity. Just drag the Activities on the homescreen and search for the SetupWizardTestActivity. No need for adb.
