[Q] Sms characters and stock rom - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I am a super noob and just wanted to ask some questions. I recently bought a Nexus 4 and successfully rooted it with all the help of a tool kit from the forum. After trying 5-6 custom roms i decided that i want to keep to stock rom, therefore the following questions came up. 1) Can I put mods like the X-beats or Wi-Fi fix or the YouTube fix (all found in this forum) in the stock rom or not? and 2) In Greece there is a problem with the sms characters, in particular we can't get 160 chars per sms. In the roms I used, only in 2-3 of them this was fixed. So my next question is: Can I fix this in the stock rom (without adding an extra sms app or extra keyboard via the play store). Thanks in advance.. I 'll be waiting for your answers..

Answers:
1) Yes I can cause I tried it and my Nexus didn't explode and they work fine!
2) Still don't know, although the extra keyboard (tried 2 off them) didn't work out only 64 characters. So any other ideas would be appreciated thanks again for your time..

You can replace the stock mms apk with a modded one. There are a couple here in the themes and apps section and a couple in the Galaxy Nexus themes and apps section that will work.

i think two solution.
in one hand, maybe you lost yours APN settings. so, you have to look up the company (movistar, personal, at&t, whatever) settings in google.
In the other hand, try to change your modem according to your region. there are a lot of helpful post in this forum where you can learn how to change it.
See you!
Stock kernel
When i installed the stock kernel version of ozcanrom 5.3, I got problems with apps such as swiftkey (keeps on failing to install language pack) and whatsapp (cannot take pictures or view them), so i realised that every app that i installed did not write to the system drive (there were no folders on system drive that showed that these apps were installed) but when i installed the custom kernel, this problem did not exist, so is there anyone who can help?

Multi-tasking
Pressing and holding down the hard menu button (using SGS4 I9505) launches Google Now instead of what I would have expected to be the app switcher as is typical in CM11 and other similar ROMS.
Is there any method of app switching in this ROM? Even the Nexus devices have this ability.
Thanks.
I am pretty sure its the GE, i tried the aosp one and the phone stuck at google logo at the start.
Minimum brightness value
Hello everyone,
I have installed this ROM and noticed that the minimum brightness (backlight) value is set to 40.
Via ES File Explorer I edited /sys/class/LEDs/LCD backlight/brightness to value 5 and I successfully saved but when I increase the brightness in settings --> display --> brightness and then I decrease it back to the minimum level, the setting in /sys/class/LEDs/LCD backlight/brightness goes back to 40.
Are there any solutions to set this value (or another one that does what I need) in a permanent way without using applications such as root dim ? Thank you so much!

Google Welcome Screen Loop
Hi,
I just installed this ROM on my S4 I9505 through a custom recovery.
I wiped the cache and data before I installed the ROM.
I am getting a google welcome screen, nothing happens and only 4 circle dots keeps looping?
Is this normal, or have I done something wrong?
Also it will not boot into recovery anymore
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,

No Play Store, Gallery/Camera, or Chrome
Some help would be appreciated...
I've been playing around with this ROM for a few hours now and cannot get the play store, camera, or gallery to work. I'm sure the gallery and camera are connected, and I frankly don't even care as long as I can get the play store and chrome working.
My data is working fine, and so is gmail, drive etc. The only problems are with these apps. So, to try and solve the play store issue I've cleared cache, soft rebooted, reflashed ROM, and even installed the latest version. When I installed the latest version, it worked for about 2 seconds and then quit working again. Oh forgot to mention that when the phone boots it says "Google Play has Stopped Working" and the same thing happens when I start up chrome. Help would be much appreciated, I really love this ROM
Update: I've narrowed it down to an error with saving of some sort. I AM using Safestrap, should have clarified. Anyway, Chrome just doesn't load, and I have figured out that the play store works up until it tries to download something, and then it freaks out and closes. I managed to bypass this to a degree by loading apks to my google drive and downloading that way, and was able to get firefox running. Using firefox, I tried to download a file and got an error reading "/storage/emulated/0/Download/xyz.apk could not be saved, because an unknown error occurred. Try a different saving location" so yeah, I narrowed it down to an error with the save directory, just cannot figure out what is going on.

[Q] How to verify Nexus 4 factory image ?

Yes I purchased a used Nexus 4 & I only want original & genuine factory rom on it, & not any custom rom so that I can get future updates by Google. So guys please help me to verify its integrity. Also I am experiencing default launcher is getting crashed every time when I am moving forward to the widget section after apps on page 4.
Thanks,

You don't need to verify anything if you download the official images from this official site.

[Problem] Redmi 2 issues & pop up ads

Hi guys,
I have been a iPhone user for the past year, so sorry for not being updated.
I ordered a Redmi 2 for a friend. But she complained the phone was too slow, so I asked her to borrow it for some time.
First thing I did was a factory reset. Then installing the most comon apps, facebook, messenger, youtube. nothing more.
So far, appart from the low available RAM at any given time, what's really driving me crazy are pop up ads. They show everywhere, facebook, youtube, messenger. Even in the homescreen.
My first question is.
Are these normal nowadays in Android? I find that hard to believe.
Second question. How can I disable this. I understand in app adds and why they are there. But youtube/facebook/homescreen? The add is pretty much the same almost every time, "Lebara Talk" and shows every time I enter the apps after not using them for like 5 minutes.
Please let me know if there is a way to remove this.
Now on other topic, in case the phone shows itself laggy as she told me, are there better optimized ROMS. Keep in mind this is a non tech-savvy girl using it.
Many thanks
Best Regards
Is it the HM2014811 model with 1GB ram? It probably came with the chinese/global rom which has bloatware. Download the global rom from here: http://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/5-10-15-16.28809/
Just make sure you download the correct version! for example for the HM2014811 it would be: xiaomi.eu_multi_HM2014811_5.10.15_v7-4.4.zip (dev rom).
You have guessed it right. Thanks for helping. Are these ROMS stable? Also, I am going to search for it, but until then, it would be much apreciated if someone could point me to a tutorial on how to install these.
There are 2 versions, Developer rom and Stable.
Developer roms get updated every week, stable every ~3 months. The stable one is based on MIUI V6 and the Dev on MIUI V7 so sometimes various fixes that are installed on latest dev roms take a while to get to the stable. I would recommend the Developer rom for Redmi 2 as it has less/ no issues (people have reported SIM lock issues on the stable version).
You can use this guide: http://en.miui.com/thread-142581-1-1.html to install the rom through recovery. With this method it will wipe all the data/apps of the system.
If you want to save your internal storage/apps you can do a backup with the MIUI app or with Titanium Backup and restore afterwards.
Many thanks for the help. It's a new phone now. how can I mark this as solved?
No need, enjoy!

[Q] SM-N9108V (Chinese) Custom ROM options

Hello peoples!
First, allow me to kick myself for buying a Chinese phone. OUCH. There, moving on.
I have the Note 4 model SM-N9108V, Android v5.1.1, and it's been a complete nightmare to deal with it. (IT DOES NOT HAVE GOOGLE PLAY!) It seems this is the least common model out there on the internet. I have been able to find guides for all versions of the Note4, but for my version is very difficult.
After some brick scares, I was finally able to root my phone, install ClockworkMod Recovery and Open GApps. While it's "usable" now, some things still don't work. For example, The automatic Google Sync just does not work for some reason. I have to go on Settings and automatically click on everything to sync (calendar, contacts, etc).
So, I'm guessing my only option is to flash a custom ROM. But I can't find ROMs specifically for this device....
What are my options here? Can I install CyanogenMod made for the international version? Is there a Android 5/6 Stock ROM out there in the wild that I'm not aware of?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
TL ; DR Which custom ROMs are there for the SM-N9108V? Is there a Android 5/6 Stock ROM available? Can I install the CyanogenMod for another Note4 version?

Hello.
Allow me also to kick myself since i bought also this stupid version of Note 4. And imagine i exchange it with a S5. What a deal!
Anyway, there is a very nice MIUI ROM (xiaomi style) for this phone, see my post here where i collected all the posts explaining how to do it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66904680&postcount=2
Also you can root it and install also google play and everything is working fine.
Except the 3G and 4G! in my case they are not working well, i have drop calls, no data connection etc..
Can you tell me, do you operate the phone outside China? is it working ok on 3G?

Chinese galaxy note 4 gapps that work!!
Hi. It's been.a while since I've seen this post, looking for a solution for this phone. I finally got it working properly with all the Google apps.
After installing TWERP, I have tried many different gapps packages but always had the same result. Google apps crashing over and over again. I have finally found the right one and made my phone fully functional.
baNkS’s Dynamic*Gapps for Marshmallow*(279 MB)
This being my first ever post on this forum, I am bot allowed to post any outside links. But you should be able to Google it.
In the description, it says that the built-in script detects the chipset and installs the correct set.
Upon installation and restart, the Google services still crashed every couple of seconds but I was able to sign into my Google account. And, after an update, everything was fine.
I hope you find this useful, since it's an old post
