Hi there everyone..Im a newbie here, and this is my first post, really need help and guidance from all of you guys.
I have a very unique matter, the first problem is I have a S4 rooted, after I rooted the phone it seems work just fine for weeks, after that I decided to use a launcher, after I install Next Launcher 3D or Nova Launcher or Go Launcher the phone just go to bootloop situation, then I restored it via CMW method, after restore the phone back to normal condition, not only the launcher, if I install Beautiful Widgets or HD Widgets my phone go to bootloop situation again.
The second problem is after I rebooted my phone the language just change to default language, I mean every time, I already set it to US English in setting and Superuser Apps, but after the phone rebooted is just change to default language of the region.
Can anybody or anyone can help me with this situation cause its really bugging me, please give me a solution. Thanks before for the help.
Emmmm...try another Rom and see..
This post is perfect reference as to why I will not use a custom launcher.
Buggy crap is all I ever found when using them.
Are you on stock ROM ?

You might go into recovery and wipe the Dalvik cache. If you are using CWM it should be located under the 'advanced' tab.
Probably your device is running on buggy rom...
If you want your device just perfect, flash the stock rom and be the tension-free...
Hi guys,
I had installed TWRP recovery and I pressed fix file permissions and when I rebooted it messed up my phone, deleting Google Now Launcher, and I cant open playstore anymore, I tried flashing the stock android 5.0.1 recovery again but that didn't work, should I flash android 5.0.1 again but without the ''-w'' parameter?
Thanks in advance
EDIT: I lost more apps like Whatsapp, Chrome is also gone why did I press that button for gods sake....

Yeah, don't use fix permissions anymore. Flash the 5.0.1 system.img with fastboot.

I tried, I also flashed the full Android 5.0.1 image, nothing worked... Ofcourse without the -w parameter to not wipe my data.
I am so desperate, there is also a problem, my Google account is also gone which is why I cant access Play Store.
I found this out by using logcat to see what happens when I click on the app.
EDIT: I think I fixed it sort of, I installed Google Play Services from an apk and then I could open Play Store again and login to my google account. now only a few widgets are gone but that can be fixed.
Hello all!
I am very very... very new to rooting so please bear with me. So basically I used KingRoot for an easy rooting process and then went and used an app that gets rid of KingRoot in favor of Super SU (App was called Super SU Me I think, on Play Store).
So one of the first things I did was download the Jrummy font changing app. I found a font I liked and I was prompted to make a backup of my current fonts and to have a nandroid backup as well in case. So I thought, being the noob that I was and still am that I wouldn't need to do such a thing so I just backed up my fonts thinking "good enough". I then reboot my S4 and it gets stuck on the AT&T logo (so a soft brick right?). So, I freak out cause I'm a noob and I din't expect a font change to soft brick my S4. Luckily before rooting I backed up photos and music but anyways I ended up booting into recovery mode and wiping data and the partition cache.
This ended up working (can't remember if it was multiple tries) and I got back to Android 5.0.1 Lollipop but was greeted with an "Unfortunately, Samsung Keyboard has stopped working." I thought this must be because of the font change so I maneuver to settings (with the error for the keyboard popping up every time I close it by tapping "OK") and change the default keyboard to Swype and that stopped the error from popping up. I then go to change the font and it says "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped working." or something like that and kicks me out of settings. So somewhere down the line I restart my phone and the process keeps repeating so I have to access my phone by factory resetting it in recovery mode and clearing the partition cache or whatever and then I can use android but the keyboard error keeps popping up every time.
I guess you could say I'm freaking out and I definitely guess you can say I'm a total noob at this.
BTW: I have no recoveries or anything so basically stuck with what I have. Also I tried a program called "_Hovatek__Auto_Font_Unbricker_V1.0 " and that didn't work even when I got the green text running in the program or whatever.
Please help! This is really bad I know!
Return to stock using Odin and this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2926642

Can you do that with android 5.0.1? I don't know if I can downgrade in order to restore to stock.

The last full firmware release for AT&T S4 was NB1. After that, there is only incremental updates (OTA) to lollipop. There is no full firmware release for android 5.0.1. As such if we screwed something up, we all have to go back to NB1 and start from there.
So please follow the guide mentioned in the previous post.
Wow! I can't believe that solved it! I had tried other solutions that I saw using Odin (kind of a mix mash of all the stuff I read) but that guide takes the cake! Seriously the best solution, thank you for the responses!
Howdy,
I got a new Note 4 from Bell Mobility about a month ago...
I updated the software, rooted it and installed the Wanam modified Xposed framework.
I have lost the automatic rotation, except for the built in camera software. Nothing else will auto-rotate. Checked the gyroscope and checked a few 'leveler' applications - all tests pass. Oddly I noticed the camera software still auto-rotates, no idea why it is special.
I tried the Wanam Xposed module to 'Enable all rotation angles' it has made no difference. With screen rotation software, currently have "Rotation - Orientation Manager by Pranav Pandey" installed. Auto-Rotate On and Forced Auto-Rotate neither option will rotate the screen when I turn my phone. If I choose Forced Landscape, it will go into Landscape mode. The only way to return to Portrait though is to use one of the Force Portrait options though.
My other issue is with turning on Device Encryption... Using SuperSU Pro for su..
If I just go through the prompts without changing anything, it reboots but doesn't encrypt.
First I tried installing as a system app so I could use the Disable function in the Android Application Manager, as I did with my Note 2, SuperSU tells me "Not (currently) available in system-less root mode".
If I turn off "Enable Superuser" in SuperSU, encryption enables properly, but I am unable to turn the "Enable Superuser" again, it says it has to update, but the fails. Suggests a reboot and try again. Sadly, this did not help.
I had success with one of the exploit root methods, KingRoot. While this worked when my phone was encrypted, it wasn't stable and kept popping up stuff. I tried to replace it with SuperSU, there are a few guides written to do just that, but they all indicate that it is very hard to get rid of, regardless, none of the guides worked for me. I ended up resetting the phone and starting over...
I tried the CLI command to start the device encryption from a # prompt..
vdc cryptfs enablecrypto inplace password 1234567890abcdef
The phone rebooted a couple times, but took a very long time (hour plus) to come back to the Android Lock-Screen.. But still a non-encrypted device. If I intrupted the process because I thought it had crashed, it started up and immediately told me something when wrong with the encryption and I need to use Recovery to reset the device..
As for root methods, I was using the CF-Auto-Root at first, trying to look for solutions to both issues, I tried a few ways of getting SuperSU installed.. The last time I reset I tried the "SkipSoft Unified Android Toolkit" method. 'Grasping at straws' to get SuperSU installed into /system so can use the Applicaiton Manager to disable and enable it...
My mobile's specifics, if it matters..
Samsung Galaxy Note 4
Model number - SM-N910W8
Android Version 5.1.1
Baseband version - N910W8VLU1COK3
Build number - LMY47X.N910W8VLU1COK3
Currently have the Team Win Recovery Project v2.8.7.0 recovery software installed.
I am looking for suggestions for both issues, but really want to avoid resetting the phone if I can at all possible... Yes, I have Titanium Backup Pro installed, but have never actually gotten a restore to properly restore all my applications and data... I rely on it now just for the Uninstall and Freeze features.
For an update,
I also noticed that rotation works on the Lock Screen and in the camera applicaiton.
If I rotate my screen on the Lock Screen, the red handset picture and camera icons rotate.
If I rotate in the camera application, nothing changes position, but all the icons rotate as well.
I'm still completely stuck though, open to suggestions...
For rotation, it is likely caused because you removed the com.thingy.facebook system app. I tried removing it because I thought is was bloatware but read somewhere that messing around with it cause the auto rotate and pedometer to fail. I fixed it by reflashing the rom without data wipe then never removed it again. Page Manager is safe to remove though.

Thank you,
I had it frozen for a while, completely uninstalled it, trying to see if lack of space was why I couldnt' get SuperSu to become a System App..
I will try to put the facebook app back to see if that helps. Hoping I don't need to do a ROM reset, but if that is what it takes.

I tried installing FaceBook from the PlayStore, no change.. So I uninstalled it again.
Took a backup in Titanium Backup and in TWRP.
From the stock image, I extracted system.img.ext4 and used SkipSoft's application to make just this file Odin flashable..
Flashed it.. When I got back to Android, my phone hadn't reset (what I was going for ), rotation is working, SuperSU still giving root access
I went back into Titanium Backup, the freshly installed apps were listed on top, because there was no backup of them.
Froze each, one at a time and checked the rotation after each.. Froze all the apps with no backups, and rotation stayed working, which I thought was odd for what fixed it.
So.. The Facebook applications are all frozen, as they were before I erased them the first time, and rotation still works. Hurray..
Now for the device encryption, I will keep messing with it.. Trying FlashFire to mount System as RW and to write the newest version of SuperSU, hopefully it will install to System this time.
Thank you again.

This is amazing, can you please post the odin flashable file? I am having this exact problem right now because I removed it in TB. Is it just the facebook file that are flashed? Thanks so much in advance, you're saving my life here
I did a full unroot of SuperSu to root with Magisk. After I root with Magisk, I get a few 'App has stopped working', I get
Unfortunately Logs Provider has stopped working
Unfortunately Media Storage has stopped working
Unfortunately Contacts Storage has stopped working
Unfortunately TouchWiz Home has stopped working*
Unfortunately User Dictionary has stopped working
Unfortunately Weather has stopped working
*I use Nova Launcher
I usually get them upon boot but sometimes I get them during regular usage
I've Tried
Reflashing correct firmware through Odin
Wiping Cache and Dalvik
Factory Resetting
Unrooting Magisk and Rerooting
How do I fix it, I am Running OS 5.0.2
Edit: Download Manager doesn't work as well when downloading APKs
Reflash it
