Was working and after flashing the new image for Sprint from Flipz it stopped working..
what do i have to do to fix it? can someone guide me please
What is it doing / not doing? It works fine. What steps did you take when you flashed it? What rom did you come from?
Make sure USB Debugging is checked in Settings>Applications >Development
Hey flipz....
I'm on your latest ROM Fresh 2.0d and flashed the new image over it..
Superuser doesn't pop up the allow/deny option whenever i try to run an app that uses it..
PROBLEM SOLVED!
MOD's delete this thread please ..thanks!
Just flashed from the first RegawMOD to Fresh 2.0d on my wife's and had to check it i didn't have to on mine but I've flashed so many times I can't even remember what it was before flashing Fresh. Always wiping before flashing as well.
I was having problems with all my apps that require SU permissions since I installed Fresh 2.0d. I realized that usb debugging was not enabled, but after enabling i was still having problems when the SU window would pop up totally black and just hang there.
What worked for me was enabling usb debugging then going into settings>applications>manage applications, then selecting the Superuser app and clearing the data. Now the Superuser allow/deny window pops up like normal when opening those apps which require permissions.
I have a question that some of you might be able to answer. It got buried in the dc2.05 thread. It's regarding the Superuser Permissions app/utility.
I get allow/deny prompts for various tasks, so the actual function works fine. I'm wondering about the management when I open the Superuser Permissions app. It looks like I can clear a set permission by tapping on the rule. However, it always looks like I only have one rule, which is listed at the top. If I tap on it to clear it, another rule will be displayed. It's as if all my rules are overlapping on the top row.
If I want to clear a single rule, there's a chance I need to clear multiple rules to get to it. Is that how things are supposed to work? I'm guessing all the rules should be displayed in a list; but being new to all this, I could be wrong. Are fresh users seeing this behavior?

Same function for me, just shows one rule at the top. Its been like this on fresh 1.0 and 2.0. Looks like you can only clear one at a time, or all at once in the "manage applications" setting as I described above.
Hey all. I have a Droid X that has been running with Launcher Pro Plus for the past few months.
I rooted my phone the other day and everything was going fine. I downloaded Titanium Backup, ShootMe, and then Metamorph.
I've been checking out droidpirate.com and downloaded a few different notification bar color schemes, which were working fine. Today I downloaded another and decided I wanted to change it, so I switched to a new one through Metamorph, applied it, and rebooted my phone. Upon restart it was still the same color as before, so I applied again and before I could restart it gave me an error message that the status/notification bar (not sure which it said at the time) had crashed.
I restarted it, and ever since then I've had no notification bar. I've tried reapplying the color schemes in Metamorph and restarting after, but nothing has changed.
I've gone to the Launcher Pro settings and toggled on and off the "hide notification bar" setting which hasn't changed anything. I've restored my backup in Titanium Backup and it is still the same. I'm not sure what else to do at this point.
What do you all suggest? It really sucks to not see my battery meter, time, etc. when I open my phone. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
I don't know if this is best practice, but I would just re-sbf / reinstall rom.

Does that mean flashing the Droid X rom? I am new to all of this, so I'm sorry if these are stupid questions. And what guide would you recommend for going about doing this? Thanks!
Download RSD Lite and flash an SBF. There's a sticky telling you how to do this I'll subscribe to this thread in case you have any questions.
Great, thanks for the info! I'll give this a try tomorrow.
Wait!
Before you do that...
(Which is good advice, and would be my second choice...but you'll be without all of your applications and settings. This will put you on complete stock!)
http://www.chadhaney.com/droidXDefault/4.5.602/
Download the file that this theme was changing.
(system/framework/framework-res.apk I think?)
Download "Root Explorer" from the market...or a free alternative if you can get one to work.
I think "ES file explorer" works, but I've never tried it.
Check the "permissions" on the file you'll be replacing...and change the new file to have the same permissions (prior to moving, just to be safe).
Move and replace the new file into place.
If your phone didn't reboot during that process...
Double check the permissions again...
And reboot.
I knew it was only a matter of time, and that's a good resolve. Thanks for the alternative!

I'm not seeing that file on the website you mentioned. If I ctrl+f framework, all I see is a GoogleServicesFramework.apk file. Would it perhaps be the StatusWidget.apk from that list that I am looking for?
Status widget doesn't sound right, but I have never had to recover my notifications bar before.

Sorry man, at work...and can't check...but this should have it.
Or if you've purchased Rom Toolbox or Rom Manager...they have some .zips you can download via your phone and extract with your PC.
Ahh this is all confusing me. I can't find the framework-res.apk on that site either. Would it work to just hard reset my phone then download an app restore app? Then re-root it and restore everything to how it used to be with Titanium?
The framework-res.apk was an attempt to fix your phone without wiping your apps and all that fun stuff. A hard reset wouldn't fix the problem because the file, in theory, is still corrupted or not working. I would sbf your phone. It looks creepy but it's just resetting back to stock.

Go down to SBF: What is it, and what does it do?!?
If the files are offline because of the SOPAA thing, let me know.
Alright, looks like that's what I'm gonna try. Thanks to both of you for all the help, it is greatly appreciated . Before I go through with it I was just wondering, if I backup all my apps to my SD card with "App Backup and Restore" then reinstall the app after the backup, I'm guessing it should be able to reinstall my apps from the SD afterwards? (I wouldn't use Titanium to restore because I'm assuming that would restore my phone with the flawed system data I have now)
The apps themselves wont be flawed. The phone runs off a whole bunch of apk's. Just the apk that controls the notification bar was messed up. You should be fine with backing up your apps regardless of method. Use what program you're comfortable with.

Agreed...
But to reiterate...
Titanium won't bork you in any way.
Simply use the option>batch>restore USER apps option and you'll be %100 back to where you were...aside from having to change your settings back to where you had them...
Also...
Facebook and any "Overclocking" applications seem to behave badly when restored.
Not in a negative way...
But I always uninstall them after a restore and install manually through the market...
Facebook won't receive push notifications if you don't.
And Overclock apps simply may not work.
Everything else (game data...whatever) will be exactly as you had it.
Check my sig if you need...
And use the sections about backing up and restoring your data.
Ignore the actual rom flashing part...as it's irrelevant in your situation.
There is also another SBF link in there if the one Fluffy posted is dead.
So I downloaded the latest RSD lite with no problems, but whenever I try to download the "Droid X 4.5.602 SBF Gingerbread 2.3.3" file, it leads me to http://www.multiupload.com/57SX6Q5HJI which lists the file as 602.sbf.zip but downloads as a program called "iLivid", which is a video downloading program.
Any suggestions?
Different Mirror?

Figures, thanks a bunch. I tried the download links from two different forums and both led to that same program download, but it looks like I've got the right one downloading now. Thanks again for all the help, I'm going to try the whole restoration process this weekend when I have more time. I'll let you know how it goes.

So i installed the samsung s5 lockscreen, or at least attempted to, I never realized you needed to flash in recovery. First I backed my files up. Then with the zip all I did was copy the files down to system in EZ Explorer, when I found out that my settings.apk went missing and the home button didnt work(or the lockscreen) I tried to restore my files, I restart my phone but no change still no settings and home button doesnt interact at all. (Stock S4 with Root)
(Also I cannot install apps anymore) Any help greatly appreciated!
I think you can solve this by Android development bridge (adb). In a few words, this is a way you can modify your internal memory from your ?. So, you have to push all backup.
If you don't know how to use it, in this page there are a lot of helpful post.

Sorry the app creates a backup, or do I need to have a previously installed backup?
Messed up even further!
Guys I tried to factory reset hoping to fix the problem, but as the config window opens up, I'm flooded with errors. My question is should I just install a ROM and hope that fixes it, or just go to my provider and go by the warranty?(Root I used is towelroot, so it should be gone after FR, so the warranty should still be good.)
Found a fix!
I did what it says here, works perfect except for wifi(Other then that its great)

So i have the layers version of PureNexus installed. Franco Kernel and latest edition of busybox.
I tried messing with layers a few weeks ago but somehow crashed the entire system and it was a huge pain to restore back to where i was. So i want to make sure i know what im doing before i hit the apply button again.
I have layers manager installed.And i have layers showcase installed.
As i was browsing through the layers showcase all of the layers say that they do not support the version of Android i have installed and may cause bootloops. (I have 6.0.1) installed (I also have Xposed installed)
Basically i dont want to modify any apps. I just want to change the look of the Android system itself. (Notification pull down, settings, settings icons, colors, etc)
And i want to stay in the "material design" land.
Any help would be very appreciated.

Which layer theme or apps are you trying to install? If you run into errors and you get system errors after a reboot the easiest way to fix the issue is to delete the overlay folder in your file manager via TWRP, then reboot. I have found that if I do a hard reboot after installing my layers I get the system UI failures upon reboot. If I do the soft reboot in layers after I install it works fine, then I can do a full reboot and all is good.
I themed my Axon 7 a few days ago using Substratum and the "DarkStock" theme. A few things don't theme and I always leave a few "Google" things out due to when they update, they'll crash (usually Photo's and Calendar).
I discovered today, that if I have "Android System" themed and try to change my input (keyboard) either in Settings or on the pull-down notifications, my phone will reboot. If I remove "Android System" from being themed, it works fine... But, if I'm running a dark theme I need the Android System themed, otherwise I get dark text on dark background and it's near impossible to read.
Luckily, I don't need to change my keyboard.....and I discovered it by accident, but I was wondering if anyone else had experienced this or if it's just my phone?

Huh,didn't know zte didn't have their own keyboard.
Hmmm, I think theres a themed Google Keyboard in TBO. Personally I use SwiftKey as I can't stand the Google keyboard and want the numbers row on top. There's a great (free) SwiftKey in TBO as well with hundreds of (free) themed keyboards.

Yeah, they use TouchPal as their "stock" keyboard......But that's not really what I was getting at with my post
I've used SwiftKey for 2 or 3 years now.... I don't plan on changing, but if I wanted to, I can't because my phone will reboot unless I remove the "Android System" part of the theme.

I understand. It's pretty common for some themes to break things. Actually I was talking to one of guys from Substratum and he was saying that it shouldn't work but that Layers should. I told him that it was the other way round and he thinks it's the legacy part of Substratum. Which doesn't make sense to me, but whatever. I'm just glad we can theme some of it. So if you leave the Android system themed and leave the keyboard alone does it still crash? Maybe if you froze or uninstalled the stock keyboard in titanium it would work?

When I applied the theme, I only themed the following:
Android System
Calculator
Google Contacts & Dialer (I did not theme the stock dialer & contacts)
Google App
System UI
Substratum
The rest I left alone, so I never themed the keyboard.
Ok, so as long as you don't try to change the input keyboard it's fine. Sorry for being obtuse.
Always thank those who are helpful...and just ignore those who aren't.
I just tries to apply a Substratum theme and phone got stuck on the Axon boot screen..
What sucked the most was I had just got Project fi working but forgot to make a back up before applying the theme so I had to do that all over again.
I am not able to compile my substratum theme. Did you do anything special like use a different kernel? Or flash anything?

No, I am rooted...You have to be to use Substratum. After some issues with reboots getting stuck on the "Axon" logo, I have not themed anything else (after the last clean flash of B29) other than the PlayStore (made it dark). I'm going to wait until it's fully compatible now.
That just frustrates me. My busy box is updated.... It just won't compile. I am rooted. 2.78. I want to try different themes.... At least Gmail and play store. It really would make the system ui pop.... If the white could be replaced.

I thought that Substratum required "Masquerade" to be built into the ROM for Substratum to work, which this one does not have. Correct?
I think you are correct. But I read others have had it work so I was seeing if I was missing something.

I had that same problem until I disabled write protection, but you said your busy box is up to date I assume you've done that. My busy box not updating was the first clue that it was enable, then trying to modify build.prop and moving apps needed for project to system(I actually ended up just flashing gapps with google dialer, GSC and Project fi).
Once I got mine to compile I themed a lot more things than the Op but still not everything and phone wouldn't boot. I haven't tried again yet with only applying them to a few things but I've heard more recent builds of substratum have been having issues on non Nexus devices so thought that might be what happened with me.
BTW does anyone know if there's a way to remove the theme in recovery like with the old layers themes? I don't recall ever reading anything about it after the switch to substratum and couldn't find anything when phone wouldn't boot so i just flashed an oldish(missing project fi mods) system backup(on my Nexus if something went wrong with layers I'd just reflash vender image-seemed easier than deleting files).

I am pretty sure that you nailed it. I think my write protection is enabled. I have a root Explorer that offers to remount the filesystem so it can be r/w except it fails to complete the process. I had to access my filesystem through twrp file manager to actually change anything system level. But I am rooted, twrp and busybox pro says all good. I think I need to investigate how to get r/w access (like root does or should do).
And yes, there is an overlay file you can access through twrp that will save you if you bootloop. But also, in your home folder, there is an easier way to save yourself from a bootloop. The substratum folder is created when installed and inside the folder is 2 flashable zips. One for legacy and other. In case of emergency.
* I just checked and my busybox is 1.18.4. I can install without errors but it does not actually install. When I reload busybox it only shows old busybox...
++ got it. I had to TWRP, terminal: reboot disemmcwp
--- just finished installing Biohazard substratum and the only issue is the Android setting text is dark and almost unreadable. But everything else looks great! BTW I use tbo SwiftKey for my keyboard so I don't know if the keyboard is still causing problems.

That may be why I get stuck at the boot logo when I apply more than the PlayStore....But It does work, other than messing up on the reboot after the theme is applied and working.
I'm currently running my PlayStore with a dark theme.....Was on Stock/rooted B29, now I'm using DrakenFX custom ROM.
I just tried applying Spectrum theme again but only android system, system UI and a few apps, still got stuck on boot.
I guess I'll try a simpler theme like biohazard and wait for a AOSP ROM before trying Spectrum again.
Biohazard rebooted when I opened Google photos. Then I tried Domination. Everything seemed OK. Then I tried spectrum and everything was great EXCEPT when I used my chase bank app and the location /GPS appeared and caused a reboot. Tried it again and same results.
I will keep trying different variations. I love substratum.

I love it too..... But I don't want to get stuck at the "Axon" boot logo again and have to wipe and start over (again, for the 3rd time). So, I'll wait to theme more until it gets worked out.
I know the keyboard selector crashed it, as well as holding the power button to get the "reboot" menu, but I use a different reboot menu now so that didn't matter.....But sometimes, I'd hold it too long by mistake and it'd reboot on me anyways.
When installing substratum, a folder is created in your home files. Inside the substratum folder is two zip files. Both are a recovery file that removes overlays. I used it to save myself about an hour ago.
After trying lots of good themes, I seem to have found one that is trouble free. Every attempt to cause a reboot fails. All past problems are now uncreatable .... But it might just be that I have not found the problem yet. If I do I will update my story. But..
The theme is called SHARKPIE magpie theme. By setiawanjimmy
