What I did for me because I wanted to disable the return soft key ; it was a pain when in camera mode it always closed the application.
I installed UDN first as replacement see result in post 1273.

already done, saved & rebooted, they're still working

That sound very strange,like your file modification isn't taken into consideration by the SW.
this worked very fine for me, i am (still) with Prism 4.3 Rom and may be 4.4 is different at this point.
If you have time to investigate this will avoid me to rush on moving to fresh KK as I am satisfied with Prism.

Inverted Touch Screen X Axis After Flashing CF-AUTO Root Fix

Only if the two lines from top are displaying different values for PARTS and PHONE firmware then you would
1. Dial *#2663# in the dialer
2. Click on TSP FW UPDATE (General) it shouldn't need a reboot
3. Make sure PARTS and PHONE show the same values
4. Inverted Touch Screen Fixed
THANKS GOES TO @Wuby986

Wooow this is scary... Well for this we have a workaround.. Let's just hope this is the only "surprize" we can get.. Thanks for share..
Also i would like to say that this is gonna help only if, once you are in the firmware page after dialing, the first two lines from top are displaying different values for part's and general firmware..
Hitting the tsp update is going to make those match

Worked for me!
I somehow got into this state on my T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 (N910T) when I flashed the latest TWRP (v3.0.2-0). At first I flashed the .img using my existing TWRP 2.8.7, but then I was unable to boot into recovery. I then used ODIN to flash the .tar version which worked. However, after rebooting into the system my touch was all messed up. Thankfully the stylus worked just fine so I was able to use that to use my phone until I found this thread.
I did *#2663# in the dialer, saw my versions didn't match and did the update as per the OP. Everything is back to normal now!
This fixed my screen glitch. You make me love the internet. I found this page only after several hours of searching.
I had tried to update to TWRP 3.0 with the Android app but selected the wrong device (Note 4 Edge instead of Note 4).
I do have other problems. Recent and Back Button Not working
how to fix the recent button and back button of galaxy s6,it was working before then suddenly the button stop working even when you touch it its not showing any response or light..i did try to full factory reset in odin mode buts not fix the issue
please help im using the assististant menu for a while ands it really annoying

So I have the same inverted screen problem! Although mine is across the Y-axis... Touch the left and the button on the right gets clicked.
I'm SURE what did it was installing TWRP 3.0! And now I see someone else had the same cause!
But I have a G920P running 5.0.2. (and I'd like to keep my firmware where it is). What can I do!? HELP!
I had root, but I needed to install a recovery so I could install Xposed Framework so I could enable a module. And here we are...
Update: This issue was solved for me. TWRP still won't boot, but at least my touch issue is gone.

[Q] Can the Ouya still be rooted

Hi
All the threads are old and have mixed results.
I picked up a Ouya at a thrift store for 15 bux. Would like to root but dont want to trash it. Is there a new method that works.
I powered it up and it took an update yesterday so its at the latest.
There's a search button for that reason. Just try it...

I'm not sure why non of the guides work for you. I used the root tool in ouyas own store the other day on an ouya my friend didn't want anymore and it worked fine.
---------- Post added at 09:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 PM ----------
Like a couple years ago when I rooted my first ouya I used fastboot and cwm. But I'm pretty sure there was an all in one ouya adb tool that would did everything you could possible need root cwm Roms backups I will have to take a look when I get home but I have the apk on a backup drive somewhere. I will try to find it for you.

Correct. I did it last night with a mix of Kingroot (older version, the new stops working at 18%) and the updated xposed and playstore zip file.
If anyone needs, and if it's allowed, I will post the files later.
I had my ouya rooted, collecting dust.. Then decided to flash an AOSP rom, and bricked it.. Looked and found this video,I achieve root, boot menu , cm11 with this video . http://youtu.be/fYwZ_l31-G8 , beware.. Strange sounds in the background ... ?

Multi-window on MM?

I have the moo x rooted and using xposed as well, my question is, could I follow other instructions over the internet about how to get it or are they specific for this device?
Sorry for bad english , and thanks :good:!

You can follow other guides. I tried it once. It's pretty simple. There is a build.prop edit (I think it's setting ro.build.type to userdebug) and then enabling multi window in developer options.

It seemed stable enough but it's not very user friendly. It took a little while to figure out the controls. It's not very straightforward and a little confusing. There's no X or anything at the top of the window to close it which is weird and you can't swipe it away either. It has to been done in the task manager. And then I kept getting spammed in the notification bar by Motorola for feedback on Attentive display, which I was using by the way. If you're not using it you shouldn't have that problem and I think that's from making the build user debug. But it is experimental so I would expect some bugs or they would have put it the final version.

Fresh Start!

Hello,
After messing the devices whatsoever!
i want to do a fresh start, clean install !
i've downloaded the full rom last december...
Started back in fastboot and flashing, but the boot doesn't work...
i guess i'm missing something in the install... still some slots A and B etc etc
What would be the best way to make a fresh start ? should it be slot A or B ?
because for the moment, i cant restore my device
Flash the newest available firmware with MiFlash tool selecting "Clear all" in the bottom right corner.

Really bro? Do you know how to flash the ROM properly? If not you're being a complete a**hole as people will put their resource on that problem just because you don't follow the flash instructions properly. You're issue is really weird and shouldn't be occurring at all, maybe that's a hardware issue or some of the image files of the Stock ROM you download must be corrupt.
Hello EdWin
Thanks for the very nice answer. Its a pity you lost that much time for such an idiot answer
I've been flashing phones since first release of android and no phone has ever been bricked...
- So yes i know how to flash a rom...
Lately i've notice the android structure changed, talking about slots... Which i dont know very well...
- sorry being an asshole but I wanted to have an input on how to do a clear fresh start...
- concerning my issues... Confirm this is happening... On the October update i dont have any issue... And on December update touch screen is not working well, it work once after i shut down the screen and put it back on...
Unless you have anything constructive i suggest you dont loose anymore time to make stupid answer !

Have a look at my guide over here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/how-to/ota-official-fastboot-image-n2g47h-7-12-t3728929
It should answer all of your questions and it includes the proper batch/ shell script files which automate the flashing for you straight away.

I believe it is as long as you don't pull out too much bass which might clip or distort the sound.
Some phones come with a weak volume setting by software, that might result in a compressed sound the higher you push up which I don't like, so better have your mixers_patch or whatever it is now to manually set the value as loud as you like.

For me it worked pretty straight forward on my N986N.
Did you use the patched kernel provided by Dr Ketan to root your device?
Did Viper ask to grant permissions at first launch?

he removed it and put news instructions, to create own which I did
But ur model is N986N - its different than 9860
got Viper working after re-rooting
Download latest Viper4Android
Install - When it ask to download drivers, DONT
Open Magisk and install Audio Modifications Library
Open Viper4Android again
This time press OK > Give rights > Let it install driver
Reboot ( Mine did it 3 times to install ) but it did
After that check the status > Mine was Processing = NO
You can test by playing audio and pick headphone etc and see if Status Changes
Mine did not so I followed XDA post abt this
Steps are ( Need Root Exploer )
Goto data/adb/modules/aml/system/etc and give RW permissions to audio_effects.conf - MOVE it to data/adb/modules/aml/vendor/etc
Reboot and is all good
I've not needed to root in YEARS, Last Samsung phone I rooted was the S7. What are the advantages these days? obv I'd lose Knox secure folder, which is shall we say handy and Samsung Pay. Last I checked Google Pay worked using MagiskHide module part of Magisk
Viper4android is working with no tricks
Everything else
does this phone work on verizon? 4g?
i don't care about 5g.
