Hey there, I manually installed different emoji by switching out the NotoColorEmoji ttf, but now after changing them back they refuse to go away. Is there something I'm missing here? Permissions are set correctly.
If your manually installed emojis or any other similar third-party installed and they refuse to work, then you should do a hard reset and restore your factory settings.

I'd rather not do a full factory reset for something this minor. Is there a cache or another file I'm missing here?

I rooted my nook, tried to change the screensaver and turn off images but it messed up with my ADW.Launcher settings. Unfortunately I didn't made a backup file from framework.jar.
Now I'm stuck with the B&N Home and I can't launch the ADW, nor the Button Savior nor nothing outside the stock B&N app.
I've tried to restore everything with n2T-Recovery (the both methods) but didn't work. At all!...
I'm needing some help here
I think if you used n2t you need to reroot since that triggers the 8 failed boots which causes a rewrite of the system date.
I rerooted, but that didn't seemed to help...

Did you expect triggering Factory Restore would help you fix your broken root?
Trigger Factory Reset by going to Settings -> Device Info -> Erase and Deregister
This will clear all your settings, including broken ones, then reroot your NST.

thank you very much! that solved the problem
or if you have a backup file you can format the nook and write the backup img, your nook will be new as fresh
hi guys, would really appreciate your help..
i was trying to fix my nexus 4's problem of unable to sync with google servers so i deleted the data/data/com.android.providers.settings and it indeed fixed the issue.
unfortunatley, after rebooting, i'm now:
- unable to get a lockscreen
- unable to get home button to work
- swipe down settings are gone. and so are notifications
is there another way to restore this other than a factory reset?

Factory reset wil not help, reflash a factory image or custom rom if you are rooted.

He only deleted the data so of course a factory reset will fix it this.
You will probably take ages trying to fix and end up having to wipe anyway. I take it you haven't got a backup of any sort (nandroid/ti backup) etc?

Yup, my bad. So many users wiping the entire sdcard nowadays that i took it wrong and didn`t read correctly
I thought I did but I searched my PC and couldn't find any previously backed up data. So I guess I've no choice but to factory reset and reinstall my data

Hi there! I had had the same problem l33chpda had, but the factory reset fix worked just one time only, today i was about to resell my phone so i wanted to factory reset it, after that i've come across with the problem i had that time, again.
Don't know what to do, i have same issues mentioned by l33chpda, cant get into settings, swipe down settings neither, etc; when try to, phone just do nothing or stays one second and goes back home screen.
I have made nandroid (both clockworkmod and TWRP) of the phone when I bought it, but with online nandroid so i don't have any custom recovery installed.
While checking those nandroid backups, I've discovered the deleted folder backup in the clockworkmod nandroid folder.
Could it be possible to paste it back into "\data\data" folder? should that be the fix? Or I'll have to reflash all even though I dont wanna take that risk because is just that, the other things of the phone are intact and work great.
In case of reflashing, could you tell me about any easy tutorial on how to install clockworkmod recovery?
I own an LG G2 D800, KitKat d80020y rooted with stumproot.
I started setting up my Mojo, followed the steps to update the firmware, root, etc...
I noticed after the firmware update that I could no longer open the Tegrazone app or the Software Upgrade app (it gives me the "Unfortunately, [app] has stopped." error). Okay, weird, but I thought I would continue with the steps (my reasoning being that there was probably an update or something needed).
After getting everything rooted, updated, and lookin' good, I decided I'd check out the Tegrazone again; I still can't open it. This also happens with the Software Upgrade app - and since it is what I was directed to use to update the firmware, I can't try downgrading or re-flashing. (This also happened with Chrome when I had it installed, and the Play Music app.)
I decided I would do a factory reset - maybe I just installed something that was being weird. After doing a factory reset, signing in to my google account, I immediately tried the trouble apps again; same result.
So another factory reset, this time I didn't sign into google account or connect to wifi at all. Tried the apps; same result again.
So with it in factory default mode, the only change being that the firmware is updated to MO0202-WW, it would seem to be something caused by the firmware update.
I am kind of out of ideas; can I re-update the firmware over usb from my pc? I'm comfortable doing so, but I haven't been able to find any sort of guide or direction on what I should do from here. Should I even bother doing that? Is it possible that the non-working apps were corrupted (and for some reason a factory reset didn't restore their .apks)?
If anyone can give me any ideas or direction I'm willing to try. In the meantime I'm going to reset and root again.

quick question, everytime you factory reset. does it still maintain your root? maybe its not clearing everything. If i were you i would install titanium backup pro, delete tegrazone and reinstall it.

The root isn't maintained; I have to re-root after a factory reset. (How is using titanium backup going to help me? I've never used it.)
I've also thought about just deleting tegrazone and reinstalling it; the TLDR: have to remove it manually and sideload the .apk. Annoying. But I may try that.
In a similar vein; can anyone send me the Software Upgrade .apk?
To preface,
I'm running an AT&T LG G2 rooted (with a couple of Xposed modules). I'm running 4.2.2
Today, I rebooted my phone after updating some apps from the play store, and then all hell broke loose. Here's a list of what went wrong
1) ALL of my settings were reset. Sound settings, call settings, screen on settings, etc. EVERYTHING.
2) My home button doesn't work. It lights up - it knows I pressed it, but it doesn't send me to the launcher. I have the home button programmed through Nova Launcher to open my voice search when I'm on the home screen - that doesn't work either.
3) My notifications panel stays empty - nothing shows up. On top of that, the little "gear" icon that should take me to settings doesn't work. There's a gear setting above that for sound that DOES work.
4) When I go to "About Phone", my phone name was reset to "G2".
4) Here's the kicker - When I go to "About Phone", the "Software Update" button has disappeared. What the hell happened?
If anybody can solve this issue, I have a small bitcoin prize for you...
Edit: Noticed something new. I went into Titanium Backup and it gave me a notification that my "Device ID" was changed. It states that this commonly occurs after a factory reset or ROM change? Here's the thing - I've never factory resetted my phone or even installed a recovery for that matter.
Notice #2: Volume keys don't respond. Although changing volume manually through the settings does work.
Quick note: I changed a value in settings.db using SQLite manager. I tried changing "tether_entitlement_check_state" to 0. And then I exported the DB and saved it. Would that have caused an issue?
well all hell really did break loose here, have you tried entering download mode and flash back to stock(I'm pretty sure this isn't you want to do) but it might be the only thing to do

when I said flash back to stock I meant the download mode way just download jellybean 10d/10o or 20c installer and follow instructions on how to setup and flash

Interesting. Thanks for the link. I wonder, other than hiding the "root" flags, how is this different from performing a factory reset? I would be opting to restore 4.2.2, not Kit Kat.

well tis is different to a factory reset as in it makes everything the way it used to be like if you were just powering on your phone for the first time while with a factory reset- if you have lets say deleted bloat and modified anything in the /system or other areas they are gone forever, the factory reset is more like a wipe your phone and start again(sometimes if you are rooted it remains rooted just without the su app)

Alright then...hmm. Wait I have another question. Does a factory reset delete my internal memory, the pseudo sd-card? Like my photos/TB backup/etc.?

I'm pretty sure it does but I have always had doubts about that(I usually always wipe with custom recovery so I don't remember when was the last time I used factory reset option, plus I upload a most of my backups into onedrive/goole drive/dropbox) also using the flash to stock method will wipe everything from the phone like I said its like powering it on for the first time just in case you were wondering

Okay, so here's my plan. I'm currently ADB pulling my entire SD card (with the titanium backup contents) onto my laptop. I plan to factory reset (the default android one that's in the settings). If that doesn't work, I will use the other flash-to-stock method.
Once I'm done, I plan to use Titanium backup to restore everything including settings. Here's my question:
When I'm restoring everything, will it be 1-click? In the past when I had other phones, the only time I restored TB was when I flashed different ROMs, so it caused havoc with my settings. Since I'm keeping the stock-ROM software, will I be able to 1-click "Restore" and have everything be how it used to be (Except for the Xposed Modules of course) ?
Also...I really don't like how MTP hides the Titanium Backup folder...

well I don't think you can one click restore with titanium backup(I don't see that as an option) you have to restore everything manually
as for mtp hiding the backups, I'm on the same boat as you

Referring to TB, you can set it to restore your backups with 1 click through "batch mode", but I believe you need to have the paid version.
Anyway, everything's fixed! I actually just put a recovery on it, and then deleted data and cache. That way my internal sd card didn't get wiped.
And I did a little more searching, it seems like modifying the sqlite database when you try to remove AT&T's tethering check causes the weird issue. I wonder if it's a secret backdoor program that makes your phone unusable...

Any other way to set up wireless tether? I've read that most wireless tether apps don't work. I haven't actually tried, but is that true?
i made factory reset by going to Settings > Backup and Reset > Favtory reset. Once it was done, the keyboard didn't show up when register. i skipped all stuff and wrote my name by saying random names via mic. i installed google keyboard I had. Any idea on how to fix this ? I want to re-do factory reset again.
Hi,
Do you have a custom recovery installed ?
Yea of you don't have a custom recovery installed, best just to try factor reset again, I had the same problem once.
nope, i dont have it. Anyway, i did flash the stock rom again. My friend said that it might be the mod i installed for keyboard from Xuimod from Xposed. Maybe. Anyway it is fixed now ^^

Yes, you are right. Factory reset does not help to fix a system modding.
Only re-flashing the stock firmware may help.
