You provide absolutely no details here so it's impossible to help you. Model number of your device, android version, what custom ROM (if any) you're using, whether you're rooted or not, and steps you've taken to try to resolve the issue will do for a start.

i tried Clear data and clear cache for the apps and it doesn't work, restarting phone and removing battery also doesn't work
and here some info you might need, and it's not rooted now, tell me if you need any more

Looks like you never upgraded the thing. First thing to do is to download an Android 5.0.1 version of the stock firmware from sammobile or samsung updates. After flashing it using Odin see if that resolves your issue.

Why not simply do a OTA update?

Based upon my experience with OTAs, he wouldn't be offered an OTA to Android 5.0.1 since he's still on Android 4.4.2. Worse, since OTAs are not full system images he would have to take multiple OTAs since Samsung released monthly updates until 2016. Flashing a full ROM package through Odin is faster, and ensures all parts of the ROM match..

5.0.1 makes my S4 slow, i was at 5.0.1 downloaded it from sammobile or samsung i don't remember and then downgraded it to 4.4.2 because most of apps requires 4.4 ad above, the original one was 4.3 and i didn't get any more updates, but the videos was working fine on 4.3 and 5.0.1, but the problem is 4.3 is too old and most of apps doesn't support it, and 5.0.1 makes my phone slow, so is there any other fix?

The phone runs slow because of Touchwiz, so a custom ROM that doesn't include Touchwiz is what you should be using. The Google Play Edition ROM is no longer updated, but it is Android 5.1 without Touchwiz. There are also Android 7.x custom ROMs available not using Touchwiz.
There is a speed penalty you pay for Touchwiz, which is why you don't use it if you can help it.

can you please help me and give me the perfect Rom? i'm kinda noob but i know how to flash etc, but i don't know what's the best Rom for my S4 and how to know if there's a Touchwiz or not and these stuff, i have downloaded some Roms before from here but there was some problem like phone runs slow and i can't get the notifications for the App, so that's why i need you help, i need one without problems, works fine, runs fast and gets the notifications for apps.

If you want a ROM that "just works", get the aforementioned Google Play Edition ROM. It has the advantage of having Samsung-released binaries, which minimizes issues that may be present in other ROMs.

sorry for taking your time, but is this one what you were talking about?
[ROM]【5.1】【JFLTE-GPE】 - 10-21 -2015

Yes it is. When I was using my S4 as a daily driver, this was my go-to ROM, and I didn't have issues with it.

ok. i'll download it and let you know

i have flashed the Rom and it looks nice, but it missing so many things, i'll download all the missing apps, thank you for the help, i'll let you know if i need any help

My Files: Download and install a file manager. That will however require getting the Play Store working.
Play Store: What is the exact error you're getting?

i solved this problem, but as i told you before, no Notifications from the app where it should be a little Red circle on the apps with the number of how many Notifications

also, am i missing something? there's no an app for the camera or the videos or the sms message, and so many other apps...

Notification Counts on Icons: Touchwiz feature. The GPE ROM is stock Android, and stock Android doesn't have notification counts that display on apps.
Missing Apps: Apps you're used to seeing in Touchwiz will not be found in stock Android, though I am a bit surprised no camera app is present. Any app missing has a replacement available through the Play Store. For example, install VLC from the Play Store to get a video player. Install Google Camera, Snap Camera, Camera MX or any of the various camera apps to get a working camera. Install Google Messages to have a SMS app. Hangouts used to be the SMS replacement on the GPE ROM but that feature was removed in current builds of Hangouts.

OK, so that's mean this ROM not including GAPPS? and if so then what's the Right GAPPS should I download?
Sorry for so many questions I'm a noob trying to understand and fix my phone...

If you have the Play Store, you don't need a Google Apps package. If I recall correctly, the lack of Google apps is a design choice by the developer: since the Google apps are going to be updated through the Play Store anyway, it's pretty much pointless to have them in /system. What you as the user do is find the Google apps you want on the Play Store and install them.
For example, when I was using the S4 as my daily driver, I would download Gmail, Maps, Messaging, Play Music, and YouTube, as neither the Dialer nor Contacts apps were made available separately until after this ROM was discontinued. The alternative is a stock GApps package of over 700MB. Now while I happen to live in the US and can download 700MB packages every day if I wanted, many people out there in the world have metered connections and limited amounts of data. In those circumstances, downloading only the apps you actually use is a sound move.
TL;DR: The ROM doesn't require a GApps package. Download only the apps you need from the Play Store.
EDIT: One last thing. The changelog for the ROM is specific on the apps issue.
-Complete debloat of the optional apps in system including Camera and MMS

Yeah I haven't been able to figure it out for months...
Your ROM is very similar to the modifications I've made on my own.. In order to accomplish what I really want to do, I think I need to build an AOSP ROM for this. Do you have any idea how to set up an AOSP device tree for this device, or care to lend a hand? I'm starting the research phase now, never really done this before, but I feel too held back by the stock Moto version of Android on here to and feel like I need to start over from scratch with a stock AOSP 2.3.7 base. Not sure if its worthwhile to try for a newer version of Android given the limited memory on this device..
your rom rocks OP, looking forward to updates.
I made running software a bit more complete than the one in the original ROM
I made a little software that can connect to HR and footpod which is a bit more complete than the one coming with the ROM,
take a look at : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1939854.
curently only footpod and HR are supported, but I'am testing a version which includes
for biking :Bike Speed-Cadence sensor .
for running:kinetics (internal accelerometer) so no footpod needed.
a csv usable in Sporttracks is generated
Any update on this rom t2k?
Version 2.0.1 released
Enjoy it!
Thanks for keeping this development alive.
so i flashed 2.1.1 and there is no play store and no home button on the dock any ideas?

Yes, the ROM always Force Close when gapps (Play Store, Talk) are installed. I have no time and no skill to fix it. I will try to add it back later. Now, please use adb to install apps.
For the home button on the dock issue, did you mean that the "All Applications" icon is missing on the right side of the launcher? if yes, please long press on home screen to add it back.
dprolidan released his aosp port of 2.3.4 with a github of the sources if it helps (just got my motoactv last week, saw the post about aosp and just making it known to anyone else who might not be aware)

Any progress? I'm going to try and flash this ROM once I can figure out how to do it. Root tool works fine but Easy Modder doesn't work for me. Going to try Image Flasher V3.
****** UPDATE: Figured it out with a little trial and error.... Just flashed and will be trying it out..... THANKS!*****
OK, is there something I'm missing. Trying to put this ROM on my 16gb Motoactv. I can use root tool to root the device but the Motoactv Easy Modder doesn't seem to recognize the device. I can't change the buttons or boot into recovery to install this ROM, it just says waiting for device or path not correct (or something like that). I even tried the Motoactv Image Flasher, but it also didn't seem to recognize the Motoactv.
I have a 16GB Motoactv and running Windows 7 64-bit.
All I care about is using it For Runkeeper and connecting it to my phone for notifications. I don't care about the play store, as I find that using it as an android device, though it kinda off cool, is mostly of useless for me.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
I guess there isn't much activity with this ROM anymore. I managed to get it installed but GPS would not get a lock at all. I just flashed the latest ClearDroid ROM then installed the modded Runkeeper apk from your site and now it's working and getting GPS locks.
Thank you so much for the Runkeeper_mod.apk, it's giving me what I wanted from my Motoactv. :good:

Does this ROM have the Motoactv Golf software built in still? Mine is Rooted, but I'm running the general 1.7.10 software....but I could really use to open it up a bit. I bought the watch primarily for Golf, I run a ton and do "Insanity." And it would be great if I could keep my Data Synced with my iPhone instead of the ACTV portal. If I use RunKeeper, I can keep it in both places. Would LOVE to have Notifications from my phone, go to the watch...but I don't think there is a real good way of doing so with an iPhone.

It been a while and I don't recall any Golf software. As I could not get a GPS lock I moved to the ClearDroid Motoactv ROM and installed the Moded RunKeeper APK that the RunKeeperACTV ROM uses. I've gone back to using my phone because I have a hard time getting it to sync with RunKeeper. I did get it to sync the first time I used it after repeated attempts. I kept getting slow connection notices. The last time I tried I don't think I ever got it to sync. I'll try again after updating to the latest ClearDroid ROM as I'm still running an older version.
Try a MotoActv ROM of you choice with the Moded Runkeeper (it's not the new runKeeper version, but works) and see how it works for you. This ROM, RunKeeperACTV, seem to not be active anymore so I would not recommend using it.
You lost me on step 5. How do I do this?
Thanks

moving to google edition

ok all i've been sitting here for about a week reading about how to convert a i9505 Snapdragon US version to google addition I am on the current up to date version of software i've read to much and want to know what is the easier way to go about rooting first then switching over to the google addition no I am not a newb I owned a Samsung Epic with root and cyangenmod 10 I just like to understand everything before I go about actually doing the process.
First install recovery (like CWM), then install the Google Edition ROM using CWM

Download odin 3.07, run it as administrator, put ROM image (.zip) on phone, download i9505 cwm recovery (.tar), put phone into Odin (download) mode (search how to do it) Flash on the PDA tab, (look for an Odin tut) then reboot to cwm and install Google Edition rom.
Really easy mate! Sounds harder than it is.

Im sure it won't be bad once I do it once just starting out fresh with a new phone feel like a rookie all over I will work it out though ty
As yet there is no way to switch over to the Google Edition on the i9505
The people giving you this bad advice should be a lot more careful.
Yes, there are Google Edition roms available, but these are not the same.. they are roms based on the Google Edition, and nothing more.

Listen mate, why is it bad advice?
I have advised him to install a custom recovery via odin and install the final 4.3 Google Edition ROM by Jamal.
You cannot permanently convert a i9505 to a i9505G as the partition tables are different.
So I ask you again, why is it bad advice? And why aren`t the Google Edition ROMS different? The only difference is that one can have OTA updates and one can`t.
I get a bit sick of people saying that sound advice is rubbish by people who seem to not erm... know.
To the OP. Trust me, this is what you can do to get Google Edition on your phone.
1) Install CWM via ODIN
2) Download Jamal`s Google Edition ROM (4.2.2 or 4.3)
3) Flash via your newly installed CWM
4) Reboot, done.
It's misleading. It is not an official Google Rom.. the ones currently available are just roms based on the Google Edition. As you noted they do not even receive the OTA's correctly. That is not the only difference. The partitions are setup completely differently as well, the kernel is "tweaked".. among other things.. why do you think it took almost a week, and numerous updates before that rom of Jamal's to even become usable.
I don't want to argue.. but just wanted to point out this misleading information. It's bad advice for any newbies who are expecting to be able to flash the Google Edition rom on their i9505 to be told: "yes, you can, just use Jamals [hacked] Google Edition"
[ ] added by me.
PS I also don't think it's right that Jamal's thread title contains the word "official" but that is another story.

Right... I`m going to give up trying to explain now. Just look in the threads of the Google Edition ROMS.
How you can say they are merely "based" on the GE ROMS is beyond me.
Not going to argue. If the OP wants GE on his phone (with a tweaked kernel, prerooted, flashable via CWM) then thats what he needs to download.
Not hard.

You clearly fail to see the point. You can't argue that something is 100% Google Edition when the rom requires a tweaked kernel etc. And if the Google-like Editions are so perfect why are they updated all the time? What is there to update or fix if they are 100% great?
No. Still waiting for a 100% Google Edition without custom hacks (and custom bugs) to make it work. All else is kinda pointless.

OK then. This argument is pointless. And it IS 100% Google ROM (with a few hacks and tweaks). It isn`t Touchwiz or CM is it?
A chicken and mushroom pie is still a chicken and mushroom pie even if you add salt, pepper and sauce is it not? It doesn`t suddenly turn into a steak and onion pie does it??? Cmon.
Anyway, to get a "Google-Edition-type" (being purposefully pedantic) ROM, which is actually from erm... Google originally, the OP can follow the steps in this thread.
This should be closed now as it has been hopefully resolved. And I`m a bit sick of arguing that black is black and not very very very dark grey...
Adios!

Have been using this since its release. Nearly 500MB of free RAM on idle compared to the next closest de-bloated ROM. Anticipating gallery nags picassa by replacing it with another gallery app, as well as replacing default home and keyboard with lightest substitutes around (mine are Mini Desktop/ap15 Launcher and Multiling O Keyboard). GApps were replaced by Pico OpenGApps without any problem. Iron kernel also works seamlessly on this. A minor glitch (edited: even on stock kernel) is VOIP on WhatsApp, the other party sounded loud and clear but my voice was muted on the other end. Thanks @iddeen

I tried testing WhatsApp call , but I can't reproduce the issue. Can you try the updated ROM and let me know how it goes?

It could be one of those isolated VOIP bugs. I've checked my mic on regular phone call and it worked fine, but I haven't tried other VOIP services.
I assume you haven't uploaded the 1.1. version, because I didn't see any file on the owncloud link and a similarly dated and sized file on the xda link.

Dear @iddeen , it is perfectly working for me ... but I am looking for a version, where I can set the screen dpi to420
I can do it on the AOSP -schischu- roms .. unfortunately they have issues I do not like: audio, battery, glitches ..
do you know the solutin?
thanks
No solution for total dpi increase. I done it on note 5 and work perfect. But on t70x on 5 and unfortunately android 6 got few app among main fc. So as I know you must work with xposed module app settings which eork perfect but ui is somehow inconsistent and needs bigger work..
@iddeen Rom is very good, best I seen for t705 in twz category...
Now t705 official 6.0.1 is out!!!
I hope you will make same rom. thanks
Also have few remarks for current version, to maybe more improve:
1. using app settings module, I got bigger doi on all needed apps, is there any way now to delete somehow middle line on some apps (settings, sms, file manager...) and get more natural (phone) layout on this bigger dpi. And less important, which app is android installer: I got bigger dpi on many apps, but when installing some new one it is terrible small (of course it is not important as installing is very rare, just curious)
2. debloat is done great- just few ideas:
a) you can delete live wallpappers and additional fonts
b) not sure here- maybe all tests (or some) bluetooth, camera, device...etc can be deleted without problem; and stock browser..
c) you left exchange service and deleted e- mail, suggest to leave better both (or delete both)...
And most important please continue with this rom work on 6.0.1!

Q:So, What is this thing?
A: It basically Replaces stock LineageOS apps with the Google apps.
Q:Why do we need this?
A: If you're using Nova launcher or Pixel launcher i'm sure you would have come across ''force 3D touch". That thing doesn't take place in Stock lineage apps like Phone, Messaging or Clock etc. Also the UI of Calendar app isn't good as compare to Google calendar app, however Google apps is the solution.
Q:What else does it do?
A: It will install Retro Music player, trust me it isn't bloatware but something better than Eleven (stock lineage music player).
Features: Let's you Remove Lineage apps: Calendar, Clock, Eleven, Calculator, Messaging, Contacts and Phone.
2) Adds Google apps: Calendar, Clock, Calculator, Messaging, Contacts and Phone, Beta version of Retro Music.
THINGS YOU SHOULD DO AFTER INSTALLING: 1) Check whether your clock is working.

For low (no) budget I find your site very appealing and what is so far there is well structured and beautifully designed for the restrictions you have on pages like wix :good:
Oh before I forget it thanks to your mod, I finally have no annoying errors anymore after installing Google Apps

Thank you! And Btw Update the site for mobile, still there are many problems with it. Like slideshow and other problems like unable to see some texts in last pic.
If you facing issue like phone app unable to see in app drawer, then it means you probably have dirty flash my new version over old one. In order to remove this issue, either do clean flash or open root browser go in system/priv-app/GoogleDialer and remove the older version, it's something with ''8.0.1...'' and reboot.
New stuff coming, tested well before implementing.
New update: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120732628
If anyone having any issues and who did dirty flash 5.0 over 4.0. I provide no support for it, do a clean flash of your rom and then my mod. Ive change many folder names so it would no work as expected.
So i finally "tried" to make git, i'm still new so dunno know much stuffs. but you can check the mod git here: https://github.com/chetz1215/Enhance-Experience-Global
I was not able to upload systen folder cause of bad internet connection but will do once it's stable

Nexus 7 Fast & Snappy ROM question

Hi There People,
I hope everyone out there in XDA-Land, is safe and well? On a personal level, one of the benefits of the Covid-19 pandemic is the enforced lockdown allowed me to do some much needed decluttering of a mass of old boxes which had old tech in it. After having a good root around I found my old Nexus 7 2012 WiFi model which I had previously rooted and used successfully for years before I started neglecting it for an iPad mini (I know… I know…).
Having been playing around with it for the past 4 days, thinking what I could do with it. I have decided to use it as a desk hub for my google home setup (a home and 2 mini’s), watch YouTube and Netflix vids, plus get lost in Twitter (via the app) from time. The browser I use on it at the moment is InBrowser and that’s just to open links from Twitter. I have installed Spotify and Deezer to stream music via Bluetooth and with Root access apps Stick Mount and Titanium Backup that's it, I've installed nothing else...
There will be no other google apps required such as Maps, Gmail, Play Books/Music/Games etc.
Given the very limited use can anyone advise of a ROM which will help with general responsiveness as the touch screen is slow as f*%k. Navigating menus just makes the whole experience painful, I did take a look at the ROM list and was thinking one of these below, plus the Parrott mod could be the way to breathe new life into it before I toss it in the bin. Current android version is 5.1.1, Kernel version 3.1.10-gf5d7b8b and Clock Work Mod recovery version is 6.0.4.3 but I did wipe out the root access when in recovery I cleared the cache partition in CWM

https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-7/development/rom-viperos-v3-1-1-4-28-2020-t4090363
My only wish is for a fast tablet which will accept app updates, I'm not seeking an android 10 ROM or anything so fancy . It won’t be moving around or be used on Facebook or Instagram or used for heavy browsing or multitasking.
I know asking which is best or fastest is a subjective question predicated on what it the tablet will be used for but I'm hoping for a few "Hey check this out, it might be what you are looking for" responses.
Any advice is warmly received, thanks in advance.
I just found my Nexus 7 in a drawer and I'm doing the same thing, the current ROM is painfully slow, I'll be watching this thread
Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
@Dr Asqueroso as all of the ROM you have mentioned above are based on the same kernel and device configuration they most likely will provide similar performance. It's up to you to choose whether you would like to go with a more simple (AOSP-based) ROM updated with the latest backported security patches or if you prefer additional features.

To be honest @AndDiSa, when you say additional features or security I think of how I will use the Nexus 7 and I can't think of what additional things I would use it for. In my perfect scenario, this is going to save me buying a "Google Home Hub". As it will only be used for streaming music, watching videos and the odd browse on the interweb. Security would be the choice from these options if pressed for an answer but I'm not sure what I'd be securing? Maybe my Deezer playlist (I'm told I have a horrible taste in music).
I have to admit, I haven't investigated what these additional things are as in my mind, my requirements are very basic. The stock ROM I have is slow to the point that I thought the screen was damaged, so I seek a modified ROM where someone much smarter than me has stripped away the none essential allowing an older device such as mine, to run it without crashes and slow response times.

@Jeffdaddy have you seen any ROM's which might be what we are looking for? I followed this guide and disabled all the stock Google apps and saw a little improvement in speed but the screen in respect to touch responsiveness, is still woeful as one would expect under current circumstances.

Hey guys,
I put parrotmod rom on my nexus and I swear it's back to normal. It took me all day because I read a thread saying converting to f2fs file system through TWRP would speed it up tremendously, well, that ended up giving me a boot screen asking for a password, I converted back to Ext4, flashed parrotmod and that gave me a bluetooth shares error which took a couple of hours to figure out. Now I'm back in business.
Search for Parrotmod, it works great!

@Dr Asqueroso @Jeffdaddy if your requirements are fulfilled with a 5.x ROM optimized with Parrotmod that's the most easiest way to you, if you would like to have a Android 7.x ROM with latest security patches, go with Android 7.x AOSP (btw. it includes and optimizes the Parrotmod modifications).

This looks great, I'm intrigued and want try try this, I noticed there's 4200 posts in that thread, I'm willing to do the work but is the #1 post the one eith complete instructions on how to flash for grouper 2012 nexus 7? I'm definitely not an expert and need detailed instructions .
Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
Now, this is what I'm here for... I did look at your ROM @AndDiSa but wasn't sure if there was something "newer" and "faster" which was being recommended but like @Jeffdaddy says this is a very, very intriguing option. If this can get an 8 year old device behaving like I need it to, I'd be a fool to sniff at it. I'll have a good read of the thread and have a go at installing it. Can you use CWM and the Wugfresh application to install your ROM?
This is great, I flashed to it and it's smooth and snappy however, I don't have the Google play store and I'm unable to add my Google email into it, I thought maybe I didn't flash gapps properly, so I tried it again and got this error, is this the proble? Not having gaps installed?

@Jeffdaddy This is great news... is your screen responding to touch inputs?
Yes, it's running smoothly, I just don't have the Google Apps, I'm trying to read through that other thread to see how I can flash it properly.
Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
@Jeffdaddy Two possible reasons are coming into my minds:
- Do you have installed the latest TWRP-Recovery for Grouper/Tilapia? If not, this may/will cause issues, so please do an update first
- There is also a chance for a corrupt file system, so you should do a file system check, especially on your /data partition but probably also on /system and /cache
Twrp 3.3.1-0
Possibly corrupt file system? How do I do a file system check?
Thanks for your help
Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
Unfortunately I am not able to check whether TWRP offers the possibility to do a file system check from the user interface, but in this thread you can find some additional information, too: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ne...ial-pure-nexus-project-layers-t3243943/page37

One final Question: which Gapps did you try to flash? You need to use pico, all other versions are too big.
I posted whatever one that was recommended in the post for grouper, I'll double check though, thanks

Looks like this will be the one to try then. Is there a simple how to guide for the install process?
