"Add a widget" causes MiFavor to restart - ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers

Used MiFavor so far with no problems.
Noticed today that I cannot create widgets. The MiFavor launcher fails every time.
I'd appreciate your advice and I want to avoid wiping the phone or the launcher data. A lot of work was put into customizing my screens.
My phone is stock - no bootloader unlock, no root.
Tried a few more things without success:
Creating a widget in a new place
Remove a widget then trying to add
Clearing cache
Updated to B29 today and tried again

+1 i've got the same problem. I decided to switch to Nova launcher

Nova Launcher Prime - Flickering when unlocking screen

I've always been a fan of the stock launcher since I never cared much to use settings available in custom launchers to tweak settings. However, with the new Nova Prime I really wanted to give gestures a try. After hearing great things about the launcher I decided to purchase the app and start fiddling with it. Overall the launcher is very fast, stable, and the homescreen gestures are awesome.
However, I'm noticing that immediately after unlocking the phone the screen flickers once before opening the homescreen. I've tried disabling Nova launcher to see if the stock launcher did this as well. However, as I suspected, the stock launcher fluidly fades from the lockscreen to the homescreen with no flicker at all.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Is there a setting I can adjust to fix this? I'd love to keep using Nova but unfortunately this flicker is annoying me.
Thanks in advance.
No issue's to report with nova launcher that's the only launcher i use:good: don't like stock I uninstall it whenever i flash a new rom. Some guys put nova into there roms. I have the prime version. Do you have your animations on? You could try disabling the animations if that helps..

Thanks for the advice. I just disabled animations and it made the transition a lot faster, which I suppose I can live with. I just wish it was fluid during unlock like the stock launcher is. Aside from that it's perfect.
EDIT: I decided to follow your tactic and uninstalled the stock launcher, then wiped cache, dalvik cache, and fixed permissions. After restarting I'm happy to report that the unlock flicker has completely gone away. This is the case even with animations set back to 1x. I'm guessing the phone was trying to load the stock launcher for a split second before loading Nova Launcher, causing the slight flicker/delay. I'm a happy camper now, thank you!

I get this issue on all launchers, when using stock AOSP 4.3 and CM 10.1
Has anyone deduced what the problem is caused by?

Ha! Forgot all about this thread. For me, every time I install a fresh ROM the first thing I do after initial setup is install Nova Launcher. After doing this I uninstall the stock launcher or the trebuchet launcher (on CM10.1 ROMs) and wipe cache/dalvik and fix permissions. After doing this I never see the initial screen flicker anymore and I've used this method with all sorts of ROMs.
However, now that I'm on the stock 4.3 JWR66V image, without root, I am getting the same screen flicker again. I'm just dealing with it until an updated SuperSU or Super User zip is available which will allow me to root, install root explorer, and uninstall the stock launcher. I'm confident that going with the same procedure I mentioned above will solve the issue once again.
Good luck!

You're kidding, seriously? That's it? That's so sad on Google's part (for such a terrible launcher)
But thanks for the hint, I've been searching far and wide for this answer - ill let you know if it works in 4.3 (I'm rooted). I'm surprised so little users notice this annoying stuff!

I followed your instructions but I still get flickering from time to time on stock rooted 4.3, though maybe less than before... Any other step that I may be missing that you didn't mention?

[Q] I cant remove spy program from my phone please help

Hi everyone,
My gf got me a phone as a gift and the weird part it was rooted so i didnt say anything but lately i found out she know alot of things and its like shes reading and knowing everything happening on my phone.. I did factory reset to my phone without backup but yet she still know i have no idea HOW. I found a program called system app working and ruining consuming high amount of data but i cant get rid of it and i have no idea what kind of software im having.
How comes its not possible to remove it when you make factory reset and how can i get rid of it?
Any help feedback i would be appreciate it.
Thank you,
You can download the official firmware from Sammobile and install it via Odin, that should fix it.
You also can install different Rom or delete the app with Titanium Backup, but in this case, I would go with the Odin method.
Can you post a screenshot
If you factory reset, ideally all user installed apps, which would include the monitoring app/service would be gone...the phone would stoll be rooted, but without a root access manager lije supersu, root would be useless for that app

brilliant get rid of here and get a new phone lol
Try to hard reset via stock recovery.
Shutdown your phone
Hold power+volum up+Home button.
After reset you should change your Google i.d or password. May be she know your pass and watching through Google+ or playstore .
If she install the spy software as system (because of root) hard resetting will not get rid of it. Only flashing an original Samsung rom via Odin will do it. Then change passwords of all your accounts (Google and Samsung) then only change GF...

Random reboots on stock

Hi
I was tired of the instability with root, custom roms and kernels and decided to go back stock.
I flashed stock firmware from Sammobile and did a factory reset afterwards. Only app I have installed that changes anything is greenify with aggressive doze. Could that do it? Witnessed it twice already. My phone vibrates 2 times and then reboot. Could I have done anything with custom kernel so something in my phone is broken?
do you have an sdcard installed in your phone?
if yes, then try using phone without one.
clear cache after removing card and reboot.
also install a cpu temperature monitoring app that shows temp all the time on screen.
This way you can monitor is the issue is sdcard or thermall shutdown/reset.
I think this is heading in the right direction. I have a stock S7edge and 40GB of music and about 10GB photos on my 128 GB Samsung SD card. I have been trying for a month to track down why I get one quick vibrate, then 5-10 sec later two quick vibrates and then the phone reboots.
It's been driving me crazy. Ive factory wiped the phone twice, I only use apps from the app store, I've tried tracking my apps and installing / removing app after app, and can't seem to figure out a pattern.
Now that we're discussing the SD card I think this may actually be the cause. I do think my music app (rocket player , but also happened with monkeymedi) was running and I have the photo album widget running at same time when the reboots occur.
Again this is very had to figure out. From what I can tell there is no crash reporter for Android like there is for iPhone (which is unbelievable).
Please keep this thread going. I think we're on to something.
I have this problem... Any once have fix for this behavior ?

Hi guys.
I had the same problem and i try all ways (factory reset, Wipe, Flash different Kernels and...) but my phone (Note3 N9005) reboot randomly.
I saw a video in YouTube and he solved this problem by installing a simple app (Wake Lock). I tried this way and my problem completely solved.

S7 Mini 'Ads' on startup.

Hi Guys,
The last few days I've been getting 'Ads' on the home screen every time I login. Figured I (or the kids) had installed something stupid =/
Today I did a full factory reset, only to get an 'Ad' on the home screen with in minutes of resetting. And before I'd installed any apps or apk's
Anyone else having this problem? Or have a solution to it?
Just coming back to android and still a little lost.
Thanks Guys.

It might be your mobile carrier. Try booting with airplane mode on. Then just WiFi.
I have root and adblocker and nothing in the way of ads

Thanks for the reply nickzeptepi,
It looks like its something in the stock rom, people are complaining on the Elephone forums, and not just about the S7 Mini.

Have to try and find another rom.

Just read a few comments and that's bad to put ads in the firmware.
Looks like root is your best option to delete and remove. But then no more updates.
I'm waiting for a custom ROM but it's slow progress as there's not many Devs.

If i only install TWRP without root, can i still get ota updates?

As far as i know, No. The ota update needs stock boot image / loader to do its thing.
I haven't found a reliable guide on how to unpack the update and flash it manually via twrp, but i think its possible.
I've got some issue with my laptop which means it won't recognise the phone in flashtools & therefore can't fix it if it does mess up.

Good News
Looks like Daniel-David has found a work round, post #47 on this page:
http://bbs.elephone.hk/thread-13381-5-1.html
Seems its the default launcher.
Quick run down:
1º- Install Nova Launcher (I tried with this one, maybe other ones also works)
2º- Set as default, keeping press the button, select always Nova.
3º- Go to settings - apps - show system apps
4º- Search for Launcher 3 and force stop
5º- In the same screen go to Permissions and disable all
6º- Go back and in Storage, clear data and clear cache
7º- Go to main screen of apps and tap in the gear
8º- Go to Modify system settings
9º- Up in the right corner tap the three points and show system
10º- Search Launcher 3 and disable "Allow modify system settings"
11º- Go back and go to "Draw over others apps"
12º- Up in the right corner tap the three points and show system
13º- Search Launcher 3 and disable "Permit drawing over other apps"
Worked for me.
@nickzeptepi,
Is it possible to 'Root' the phone, un install the launcher, then un 'Root' in order to get OTA updates?
p.s. I could probably help fix your laptop, but your on your own with the ROM. =/
I had the same issue with the ads and uninstalled Elephone's Service-App which let the ads disappear (needs root).

yo lo he solucionado cambiando el launcher de inicio y desinstalando el que trae de fabrica

has anyone found a solution without root?

How to enable soft keys without root?

Hi folks, I'm having a play with ADB on my Axon 7 and doing a little alteration and debloat whilst maintaining the certified and stock status for updates and root checking apps. It started with "fixing" the inability to data tether off my work SIM card, although I could tether ok from my personal SIM. I'd already looked at the APN settings for it but with no success and after some googling around I did find the information on this issue and have used ADB to fix it, now on here tethering with it
Next I did some user app de-bloating and the phone feels faster, more responsive. Now I want to enable soft keys so need to alter build.prop but when I try to pull the file with ADB it fails to find it. Has anyone managed this already and found the answer?
You can try this application.

Thanks, I did look on the Play Store. I was hoping to simply enable the built in nav bar though. There was an app that looks stock and has extended function but can also be combined with an ADB pushed mod to allow it to work fully but that gives me security concerns. Ideally the hiding Huawei nav bar would be perfect. I miss it from my Mate 7

well, the navbar can be hidden in MiFavor 5.
Don't you think it's about time you rooted it? You're probably pretty sure it has no factory defects by now, and the warranty thing is very shady atm with this huge crapshootery going on (not that you can't send it unlocked or just relock it).
I'm just saying, you could probably benefit at least from build.prop changes, or maybe from MiFavor 5.0 or some custom ROM.
p.s. it's not like you won't be able to install an official O OTA if it comes. you just enter TWRP, install the stock recovery img, then reboot and update
