Need help, device freeze after entering pin code.

I was about to install a theme and the phone rang, and then locked up.
Restarted the phone, entered security code, then pin, and after pressing enter the phone freezes. Need help.

Do a hard reset! I has worked for me.

Thanks. have done that now.
Lost allot of numbers etc. Is it just to delete every program in the hdd memory that was installed?
They dont work anymore so...

Yes it will delete all programmes that has been installed on the internal memory, not the programmes that has been installed on the 4gig.
Make a backup of all your numbers it will save a lot of work for you next time!

Out of curiosity which ROM were you using?

yea, know, have most numbers backed up, but not for the last months.
But the progs on the 4gig isnt listed in progs folder.
Is it just to delete all progs on progs folder on 4 gig? just delete the folders?

The register is cleaned so you will need to put the programmes back in the menu by copy and paste (the short link) or you can reinstall the programme

The phone vibrates very strongly even when i press things like 'menu' , 'back button' or typing
Its very annoying, please help

I think your only solution for that is to turn it off... Or to find out what to change to make it lower. You do not have an option in settings for that.

I am willing to turn off the haptic feedback, but I can't find any option for that anywhere.

I can't remember where it was, but I did remove it when I used Omni. Try settings>more options - search there.

Hi,
Thanks again. I found the option to completely turn it off yesterday. Sad, there was no feature to reduce its intensity.
After turning it off, I realized the samsung JB always had a subtle vibration feedback when touching all this. Initially found it a bit weird getting no vibration but now used to it.
Another thing, in samsung JB I could sync FB contacts as well. In this ROM neither does the option in 'contacts' nor in FB app allow to sync contacts to phone book. Not a major issue though.
But, in samsung JB I could sync my calendar with FB, so that I could see all b'days etc on my calendar. No option here. Even though FB is displayed under 'accounts' in setting. There is no option to sync.
But the great thing about it is its speed. There is no lag whatsoever, very smooth so far.
Have a couple of free days in hand, so thinking of trying out CM 10.2 as well

Maybe some app can help you with FB sync.

Hi,
You may be aware of the problem with the dash clock. It force closes. And it appears partially cut in the lock screen.
After going through the OMNI rom, I found that you had mentioned in post no. #225 to go to system/app and delete dashclock.apk from there.
Since there is no file manager in this ROM. I installed ES file manager and tried to delete dashclock.apk from system/app
But when I try to delete it says "dashclock.apk can not be deleted". I don't know why ?
Is it anything to do with rooting ? I found some discussion in the forum about rooting as well. But couldn't make much of it.

Root it, set usb debugging on, in ES file explorer set Root explorer ON. Or use some other root explorer if that do not work.

I read in the OMNI forum that installing OMNI Rom automatically roots the phone. So is that not true ? If that is the case I will google and find how to root the phone.
I tried to turn on 'root explorer' in the ES file manager. It says 'Sorry, test failed. This feature can not run on your device". Is it an indicator of the the fact that the phone is not rooted ?
Edit: Temporary workaround: I found the post wherein you had told a user how to expand the dash clock widget by sliding it down and holding it and removing it by taking it to the 'x'. I removed it from the lock screen and added the normal clock in its place.

@metalhead.mechie Well I don't know what that means. I dont know much about tech stuff
From what I have gathered from the discussion in the OMNI Rom Forum, that I download something called 'Super SU" from http://download.chainfire.eu/370/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.80.zip .
Question:
1. Do i need to extract the contents of the zip ? Or just go to TWRP and just select install from SD card and select the zip folder like i did with OMNI and gapps ?
2. Will this root the phone or do I need to follow other procedure as well ?

Just install zip in TWRP. And check if usb debugging is on later in Developer options.

[Solved] Deleted Gatekeeper.pattern.key now cant get a screenlock

ok so, I was locked out of my phone as I had reset it and then the pattern wasn't being recognized so I used and aroma file manager to delete the gatekeeper.pattern.key and now I am stuck without a lock screen.
Can anyone please help thanks
Update: see comments on first page

I decided to move on to a custom ROM (FOS) dirty installed which kept everything as is and fixed my problem.

It was easy, just set up pin pattern and password again.
The lockscreen will show up again.

Sorry I should have clarified that I couldn't access screenlock

Delete locksettings.db, locksettings.db-wal, locksettings.db-shm from the same directory. and restart. it will solve your problem.

Help!! - Unable to access my P20- Invalid PIN

Hi Guys,
I have an issue accessing my P20 pro, that I PRAY someone can help me with!
So, the story goes as such. I recently updated my P20 using Hurupdate, and as part of the process i disabled Screen lock in Developer options (i didnt delete the actual PINs, fingerprints etc from the phone) in order that i can get access to the data partition in decrypted format in TWRP and update the phone.
Upgrade appeared to go fine and phone worked no problems...until I tried to re-enable and re-implement fingerprint unlock. It asked me to set up a 6 digit PIN first, which i tried, but it seemed to go around in circles. Eventually it took a PIN, and then BOOM! I was unable to use that PIN to access the phone.
I've tried the old school method of deleting the locksettings.db file from /data/system (didnt seem to be any .key files for some odd reason), and now i dont get prompted for a pin, but i get a blank desktop. This is clearly because the data partition is still encrypted and the phone cannot access the data to start up my desktop etc.
My question, is there a way to remove the PINs/Fingerprints and security setting via TWRP on the P20, in order that the data partition mounts in decrypted format?
This is really important guys, so any help would be amazing. I have photos on the phone of a family member that recently passed away very suddenly, and I would be devastated if i couldnt get them back.
Cheers all.

Have you deleted ALL locksettings files and all files with .key ending? (Oh there were no key files)
password.key
pattern.key
locksettings.db
locksettings.db-shm
locksettings.db-wal
Something like that.

Yeah they are all gone. When i reboot the phone into the OS, i just get a blank desktop and no launcher.

Hey man,
I have got a similar situation. Did you manage to solve the issue?

You may have to go into the boot-loader and do a factory reset

ROOT: Where can I find screen/display settings in the "/data/data/" path

Just got fooled by "Screen Change:Root" application, i wanted to change my display ratio and now I can't even put my password.
I have TWRP already installed and when I wipe data, reinstall the OS (HavocOS) the screen display is fixed.
The problem is I want to keep my data (/data/data), but when I restore it I get the same display issue.
Thank you for the help,
With all my love!

Is it a Magisk Module perhaps? Or does it create one as part of accessing the system?
Because then you could easily disable that Magisk Module, even inside TWRP.
Otherwise, one option would be to contact the developer and ask him for help. He would know what exactly his app changes.

I can't find the developer contact and I'm sure the solution is in front of my eyes.
The file which causes the problem is for sure in /data/data folder. I went through TWRP in the folder and deleted everything suspicious but still when I reboot my display is a mess.
Thank you for helping me!

I've checked out screenshots of the app, and it seems like it runs as a background service. Did you enable "Set on boot"?
So I think it maybe doesn't change any files, but does the command @ every boot.
In that case, you could boot into Android Safe Mode, and .. maybe uninstall the app there.

You could delete the app folder of Screen Changer:Root from /data
Then the app wouldn't be able to run at every boot.
I forgot which folder Android stores all User-apps into.

What I think the app is doing, is it simply does a command (as Root) which changes the resolution, while not changing the defaults
So I don't think it actually changes any files.
Seems like user-apps are stored in /data/app and /data/data.

What was your goal anyway though?

If that's true, it should stop giving the command at every boot if I delete the application data. But when I did the display keept changing.
The app is not a module and I didn't enable to run at every boot.

My device's screen is burned in the top and I use an application to change the ratio, but It makes screen too small and I wanted to try If there's a way to use all the screen exept the burnt area.
