No, I have no task killers, battery savers, etc. None. Nothing stops WhatsApp, it just crashes. I will investigate it further and post here if I find anything as a future reference for others.

I've had some (due to the stupid power button getting stuck...) But still, *far* more corrupted DBs than random reboots. Besides that, the only "abnormal" habit I can think of is moving in and out of airplane mode a few times a day (to save battery) Do you think it might be of a problem? Anyway...

I have a galaxy S4 (GT-I9505G) running CM 11.0. About once a week, whatsapp stops receiving messages. The next time I open the app, it complains: If you "skip restore", you start with a new db. If you "restore", it probably restores from the whatsapp backups in /sdcard/Whatsapp/... (I...

Solved, it turns out to be much less complicated than I've though. The CM file manager simply messed up the permissions when copying the .ko from /sdcard to /system, and it removed the S_IROTH permission. I guess that the thread which eventually loads the module does not run as root at the time...

I'm planning to mess with my device's (Galaxy S4) wifi, and for a start I need to recompile the bcmdhd driver. So I've prepared an environment for compilation, and succeed in compiling a demo-module which the devices accepts and loads. Then I recompiled the dhd, and it was accepted too, but...

My second cousin has forgot his GT-I9190 lock screen password. He doesn't really care about doing a factory reset but he wants to save some data first. Problem is, making it different from the many other cases of getting the device locked, is that this phone has no practical "advanced user...

Thanks guys. I managed to flash both philz (That link you gave me, although it is for I9505 and I do have a I9505G) and TWRP. Both work, but besides them the phone is completely bricked. :(

Thanks for the reply. Regarding the versions of CM and TWRP, I deliberately picked these versions due to their high download count (A sign I can trust these builds, being not too buggy). I'll try a newer CM version and another TWRP version if that didn't help. I will also verify the MD5 for...

I'm trying to install CM via TWRP. First I had to unlock the bootloader, so I did, and since then I could not boot to my stock Android (although, correct me if I'm wrong, unlocking the bootloader should NOT delete the OS), it just sent me to recovery. So I went along, flashed TWRP and got cm...

I've been trying during the last few hours to flash CWM/TWRP to my S4. Before starting, my phone was simply rooted (with CF-auto-root and Odin). So I ran fastboot oem unlock and now I'm trying to flash with fastboot flash recovery <recovery.img>, but I keep getting the following error: sending...
