The app get installed in /system/priv-app which require /system to be writable. So you'll need a custom kernel with /system writable feature.

I don't suppose you can link to one that you trust.
Also I copied the apk to my /system/priv-app using root explorer and it seems to kind of work. Is this bad?

yeah it happens with some custom kernels, either wait for update or try a different one.

Someone on that forum told me I needed to use an updated version. But thanks got it working along with the gsam . You've been great. See you helping tons of people here besides me too. Much appreciated. Hope I can repay one day.
Oops this was for alray. But thanks to you too Nk

[Q] Green led while charging (How to Disable it)?

Hello, I have rooted my phone and tried the lightflow app temporarily and then I happened to deleted it. However since I still can't seem to be able to find a way to disable the Green LED while charging either through wireless or through the wall unit.
Help please.

No, Not really.. I just rooted and installed lightflow post rooting and it was not set up yet! However whilst charging the green led persisted to stay on!

What ROM, what kernel?

Your signature says you're on franco kernel. If this is true you can use francos app and disable it under kernel settings

Hah.. didn't see that. Franco kernel enables the charging led by default. Search the kernel thread for the command to turn it off, or buy franko.Kernel Updater to turn it off easily.

/sys/devices/leds-qpnp-f002ee00/leds/charging/
If you don't want to type the command into terminal. You can go to this directory with a root enabled file explorer (I use ES file explorer) and change the max_brightness file from 1 to 0
This will do the same as the terminal command, I think however, just like typing it into terminal you will have to redo it on each boot

Use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androguide.universal.init.d to set on boot if you do not have FKU because Franco does not have init.d support.
Turn the switch in the app to ON
Create a file in /system/etc/init.d
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
#
#Charge LED - Off
echo 0 > /sys/devices/leds-qpnp-f002ee00/leds/charging/max_brightness
Really only need the 4th line.

Cheers, guys problem solved. Love this place...

Just wondering how did you solve it. Did you buy the Franco app or did you do the file method? I too want to disable this LED.

My assumption is because he was using franco kernel, he disabled it with the franco app.

Why in hell would this be enabled by default? I'm just testing the kernel so I don't want to buy a $5 app just yet. At least not until I'm sure this is the kernel I want to use in the long run. So far this LED is my only complaint. I'll look into it. Thank you.

Both methods work perfectly.
However I still have one small query why does it automatically reset when the phone is restarted?

Everything in /sys reverts to kernel defaults at boot.
From this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58426385&postcount=10
Create an init.d script or download script manager or tasker to run that script on boot. Google that if you don't know how.

[Q] Please help. Lockscreen swiping problem.

You guys know Kitkat version has this shiny flaring effect when you swipe to unlock, right? On my machine, this effect suddenly disappeared... I didn't do anything. Theme wasn't changed whatsoever.
Anyone has the same experience??
Help!

above link is for your better comprehension regarding the problem.
Perhaps factory reset is the only way...??
PS. Rooted the first day I got the phone. partical effect WAS present when I was operating the phone for the some days. Like I said, it suddenly disappeared... No editing was done to my phone what so ever.

Try moving xperia lockscreen.apk to your sdcard from /system/app then reboot then move it back and then give permissions 0644 (rw-r-r)

Yes, a couple of day ago, but the problem is that some permission in "/System/csc/" are corrupted, with TWRP is easy, just click in fix permission, but since we can't installed in a verizon phone I can't fix it. Any idea?

The only thing I can think of is getting the PIT file, restoring to stock in ODIN , or a factory reset.

After resetting my device via stock recovery it boots up normally. But after logging into my wifi I need to put a code which I don't have (not the wifi password of course). What should I do ?
