[Q] Updating stock samsung apps?

How do I update my stock samsung apps that came with the phone? For example, google maps is installed on the phone by default but when I go to the market I don't have the option to update it.. I have to search for the app and then it only gives me the option to install it

Miui for vivid

A MIUI ROM has been released in rootzwiki !!!!!
Issues:
1.Cant switch to lte band.
2.Mediascanner fails to start at first rom flash, to fix this go into your gallery app and hit "browse sdcard" and navigate to your pictures so the mediascanner service can start, after that return to your gallery/music app(menu refresh) now your photos and music should show up.
3.Signal bars are inacurrate.
ROOT
Features:
1.Faux 006 kernel with sweep2unlock.
2.Nova launcher as an optional launcher.
3.Aosp ics keyboard
4.Deleted a few stuff to slim down the rom like htc ebooks and useless apps etc.
5. Root is disabled by default THIS IS HOW MIUI DOES IT, FOR YOUR OWN SECURITY!, you need to re-enabled it by opening any root requiring app.
tethering work around
Ok wifi tether works just installed wifi tether from the google playstore and changed this settings and it will work:
Start Application
Go to Settings
Select Device Type -> Galaxy Nexus CDMA/LTE
Select Change Setup-Method -> netd (master)
Select Enable WiFi-Encryption -> Your Choice
Select Routing Fix
Start Tether and allow Root

im very excited about this rom, but im going to wait until a higher version number and some of the problems have been resolved before i flash, im not set up to back everything up and flash a new rom right now, and im happy atm. and my boyfriend is getting tired of me ignoring him.

i already posted this in the afternoon when I got it from Rafy. I think it was taken down already cuz I dont see it anywhere.

Excited but I'd rather wait until the bugs are sorted, I take it this is SENSE based not AOSP based, like the HTC Sensation/Pyramid MIUI Port?
Excellent news though, I've been missing MIUI, and I don't really use LTE anyway so that's not a real problem for me.

Same here. Anything lower than 1.0 scares me away. But I absolutely love the customizations on MIUI. Keep up the good work guys!

I was going to say, it had too few bugs to be as low as 0.1

Well I took the dive, it doesn't have root, how do I get root on it
Nova was missing options for the desktop scroll type. And no root meant I went back to virtuous

MIUI should have root by default, did you turn super user on?

Root is managed via "Permissions" app - allows root to be turned on and off, and individual permissions of apps to be blocked/allowed. You'll still need "Hide my Root" from the market or similar if you want to truely hide root from apps that check for rooted roms.

It's great! Where did you get the download?

Reboot your phone. Open up an app that requires root (like titanium backup) and it should ask you if you want to allow root. MIUI "turns off" root by default. This is all outlined in the OP of MIUI over on rootzwiki.

According to RULE (11,3), you can't even post a Rootz link in your signature. Great stuff.

after using this rom or a few days, which required not only signing up to rootzwiki forum but also another forum before I got to the download file, I find this ROM very stable and very quick, and it has excellent battery life (probably due to not having LTE for the most part) but yeah this is now my daily driver, I only wish it was on XDA, I might build on this myself at XDA...

Yea I can't try it unless I go back to a stock or close to stock rom.
Just wondering if any one else had or would try it to see what it's all about.

It looks like it updates your "home personalization" app

There is a great guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416836
Basically you have to be dev unlocked through the HTC website and then flash a custom recovery and then your rom of choice... that's the short version.

Got it, applied it, no big whoop (yet)

Stock ICS, unlocked, rooted, but still S-On. Got the update, I can't see any difference in the Personalization other than the version number.

That is my situation right now. Stock, unlocked and rooted. Good to know before I venture into the ROM flashing world.

Yea, I got it too but the link in the text doesn't even work for me? Sends me to an HTC 404 page.

Try copy/paste the url into browser. Same thing happened to me. I haven't applied the update yet.

ATT cant even send a text properly. There is a period at the end of the sentence that was included in the url that shouldnt be there. Copy and paste the link without the last period. Morons at ATT yet again.

Yeah I got the text too

Yea if you copy the trailing period delete it in address bar. I thought the same thing about at&t.
But, perhaps the DNS server team personnel were the only ones around to send the message.

I got it but I don't plan to update. It won't be a problem will it?

Looks like it's just a maintenance update, not a new Android version or anything. Kinda lame.

Update downloaded

I'm running a custom gpe rom and it automatically downloaded the 4.4 update and it has a persistent icon to the top that says tap to install... Is there any way to get rid of this?

[Q] Updated to 4.4.2 but missing items maybe?

Hi,
I upgraded to 14.3.A.0.757 from .257 and eventually everything seemed to be ok. (Used the NUT method)
Upon going in Settings > Personalisation > I was expecting to see new 'Home' menu but I don't see it at all?
Have I screwed up somewhere? Is this a hidden option somewhere?
Sorry if this has been posted already
Ta

Its not in personalisation, its the option one below it.

Options I have are:-
Device
Personalisation
Call Settings
Sound
Display
Storage
Power Management
Apps
I think I'm missing home?

http://prntscr.com/39xxnz
I am currently on [NUT]s .757

Me too but I don't see that option?
Perhaps I should try again, I did notice my internal/external storage had all data still on it?

I do not have that too

Try flashing the .681 first
I cam from that, it may be a hangover from that version

True; although I've just flashed iHackers 4.1 and that has the home option there, very strange.
Think I'm gonna stick with this ROM for now so thanks for the help chaps!!

I don't have that option, if you install a launcher then it will appear(at least on my phone)

I haven't got it either and I went from. @Nut. 681 to. 757...

Install any launcher..u will now have home option in settings
