So i was wondering. (sorry in advance if this is the wrong section) But if I encrypt in say a android 5.0 CM rom.... will i later be able to flash a touchwiz lollipop rom and keep my data? or will that cause issues.
Issues. If you want to switch back you should turn encryption back off in the 5.0 ROM before u make any changes.

Hello guy ! I just wanna know if it's possible to go back in 4.1.2 ?!
OTG doesn't work on 4.2 ! And some other thing !
Please help me
Of course it's possible, I did it. But you will have to backup all your apps, do a factory wipe and reload either 4.1, 4.1.1 or 4.1.2
I started clean with 4.1 and let the device do OTA incremental updates to 4.1.1 and 4.1.2
I was a pain, but not as much as 4.2 is.
So if I have a cwm backup of 4.1.2 I can't restore it over a 4.2 update? I am rooted and unlocked. I don't see why I wouldn't but I want to be sure.

Did you save the backup to your desktop?

Yeah but its also on my SD, I don't see why that makes a difference either.

I'm not 100% sure but I think going backwards you wind up wiping the system totally. I'm actually curious about this because I'm considering running 4.2.

I did it without losing data. You have to move your data back to the correct location after restoring a 4.1.2 backup because 4.2 moved everything to a subdirectory. With TWRP you also have to move your backup to where TWRP can find it since Restore has no option to navigate to a different directory.
With the impending kitkat update I was wondering what steps I should take when it comes to updating my rooted and tweaked phone.
I've done the following:
- installed Odin
- backed up the original rom
- rooted the phone
- installed titan backup (and removed a ton of samsung applications, including knox - backing them up before removing)
- installed wanam xposed to make some tweaks to the samsung UI
- used wanam xposed to fake the system status to set it to official
The last point means that I should get the update when it comes. But since this is the first time i've bothered to root and tweak an android device (it's my first non-nexus device, had to remove a lot of the samsung bloat) I have no idea what will happen if I let the samsung update go through.
Will it screw up? Will it wipe out all my changes done through titan backup and wanam xposed? Will it wipe out odin?
Any information will be greatly appreciated
I'd say either wait until a developer brings a 4.4 ROM to our device or go completely stock when the update arrives if you really can't wait.

They can't bring a 4.4 ROM over as it will require a new kernel.

I seem to have gotten over my head here being fairly new to android in general but wanting to try out all the new stuff lol.
Basically, I updated my LG G2 with the Verizon Software Upgrade Assistant but after updating proceeded to screw up a few system files in the process. The kicker is I didn't know that installing this update was going to remove my TWRP custom recovery!
So now... It seems I am stuck with a buggy kitkat and cannot reinstall it because
- my custom recovery is gone and it seems that I can't reflash it do to my being on kitkat (24a)
- Verizon Software Upgrade Assistant won't upgrade the phone again because in it's view I have the latest and greatest.
- using factory reset doesn't seem to be fixing the underlying issue of system files being corrupted but simply wipes user data and apps.
What am I to do? Am I doomed to have a buggy phone until CWM or TWRP support LG G2 so I can install a ROM?
Or is there something I can do to fix this?
Thanks in advance!
If you still have root, you can use this, AutoRec - KitKat Recovery Installer
http://forum.xda-developers.com /showthread.php?t=2715496
If you do not have root it would be best to start fresh by following this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45694605
Then use IORoot to root your phone, thread below

After rooting use AutoRec-Kit Kat Recovery Installer and you will be good to go.
Hope all this helps.

Hi all, I've just upgraded from a Galaxy Nexus to the nexus 6 (what a difference!) and I'm having trouble getting xposed to work.
I've tried it on PA alpha and Euphoria ROM, with stock / lean kernel and followed fixes here:
http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/nexus-6-ho...tallation-errors-list-working-modules-1488930
But I'm not having any luck.
I'm next going to try a 5.1 ROM with init.d, but I don't have a lot of time to mess around with my phone today - I'd love to hear from anyone with xposed running and what combo of ROM / kernel you're using.
Cheers!

5.1 for not work with xposed.
K,
Both the ROMs I've tried so far were 5.0 based I believe... Should I be able to get xposed working with a stock 5.0 ROM / kernel?

I got it working with 5.0.2. Even after installing leankernel you have to use the lkconfig options to turn selinix to permissive. Then flash the xposed zip. Details are in the leankernel thread on using lkconfig.
Yeah the guide I found in op goes through a lot of this. Looking at the xposed thread, I think I'm using the wrong framework zip / apk!
Thanks for your help, I'll reply when I have some time to test

Hey I'm looking to see if there are any alaskans in here.
I am looking for the stock firmware for the note 4 from GCI. They use the t mobile model so that is why I am posting in here.
Also a general alaskan note 4 thread. Thank you!
Do you know what the build number is?
What build are you on now?
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Free mobile app
Some complications came up and I do not have a GCI android build. I could easily go find it out by stopping in a store.
I have a custom rom. I would like to try and get it back to stock. Only because of the network settings and a few other things.
What does your phone sat here (see screen shot) in the about phone section under settings.

I will have to get that to you in about an hour or two. If I remember correctly there was a 7 or two toward the end. I will get it to you soon.
Thank you for your interest!
Here is my SM-N901T Note 4 for GCI in Alaska.
If someone also knows how to get "LTE/WCDMA/GSM" network mode enabled in cyanogenmod 12.1 that would be epic too!
So right now you are on NK4 which is kitkat. There is a thread here for COD6 which is the lollipop baseband. You can just update it to that.
No need to worry about the carrier it's a pure Tmobile Note 4.

Will this rom give me the LTE/WCDMA/GSM network mode option do you know by chance?
COD6 I'd the stock Samsung software for your device it should function normally with it.
In fact you may be able to pull the update OTA. See screen shot below.
If not you need to ODIN flash the stock COD6 software so you can get the newest modem/bootloader before you try any custom ROMs http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2903733
