[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Aratheba:
Hi all,

I'd really like to know whether setting quick toolbar + full screen browsing into the stock browser does hide the software button of ICS. I mean: does it really have a fullscreen browsing that way, can I use the whole screen?

A screenshot would be really appreciated!

You know what: I own a Galaxy Note and I cannot make up my mind whether to change it or not for a Galaxy Nexus. I have an ipad2 too and maybe a note is too much. But I like big screen and maybe a nexus with its 4.65 screen it's the perfect size. However, browsing on a 4.65 screen with ICS software buttons, it's like browsing on my old Galaxy S2 in terms of visible screen. Thus browsing in real full screen would be great!

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DanVanDamn:
The softbuttons are still visible in fullscreen mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bisazz:
There's the labs feature quick controls which hides the address bar, also a labs feature to hide the notification bar, however nothing removes the soft buttons, they just turn into dots and dim.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Aratheba:
Thanks for your answer!

Then the best I can achieve is to remove address bar and notification bar.

Such a pity! :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Aratheba:
Thanks for your answer.

Who knows, maybe one day devs will be able to hide them, like it happens for videos.

That would be great! I mean: when you have the quicktoolbar, they could insert there a back button and we could have the whole screen estate to browse! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bisazz:
That's what I'm hoping happens, if eventually someone manages to get them to hide from a swipe down then reappear with a swipe up or press of the power button or something, It would be awesome :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
Not, until we can access the bookmark via Quick Control as well.

Currently, when you enable Quick Control, you need to long-press the back button to access the bookmark.

There is no other way ...

Actually, if you go to the new tab shortcut, the bookmarks tab is in the top right next to the new tab and options button.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Necrolust:
Um, yeah and its an AOSP camera. Just like everything in CM7 is AOSP. Just like everything has been modified, including the camera.

I think that warrants justification enough to call it 'CM7' camera.

Really?Holy cow,I didn't know they had modified it.I looked into it a little and only saw that AOSP camera is even worse.Just as fugly,but with less features.Way to go Google! :D :rolleyes:

[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] CCpotter:
Hello there,

actually i don't have to watch videos on my Thunderbolt, i got television and computer, don't go out much so i have almost every entire day to stay home and watch things on big tv screen. But i notice that the stand with Thunderbolt seems to be designed for users viewing pages and watching videos in a more comfortable way, so i come up with the idea of watching some videos with my thunderbolt.

Then i did some dvd ripping things, and i got a question that i don't know which video format is better for thunderbolt, i tried mp4 with H.264 and common mp4 formats, the former one has a bigger video size but the point is i can't see any difference between those two video formats, i mean, since there are so close in picture and audio quality, i guess then everyone will prefer mp4 rather than mp4 with H.264, then why do those engineers develop mp4 with H.264? and i'm not sure which video format is best for Thunderbolt actually, so any reply will be appreciated.

hi all :)

Is it possible to do dual boot on the Galaxy Note ??? :confused:

i mean dual boot with one Windows and one Android... :confused:

i could find some threads in S2 forum with dual boot having a AOSP based and custom ROM, but both are android only...

But with so much capable hardware, isnt it possible to have both windows and android in our phablet(Phone and Tablet :D) ???

thanks :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thunderstorm9:
No.

Windows doesn't support ARM platform.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seshvasan89:
if i am correct, now windows supports ARM architecture too...!!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donomark:
Well, I suppose he's referring to windows phone that does support arm and not windows 8 that will support arm but it's not available yet. .

In principle is possible but likely difficult to do since it requires a lot of work and reverse engineering from developers because windows phone is not open source software no access to the code (as far as I know).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TomasNM:
Hello.

I just bought my GN,so I have now few questions about that:

- is there a way to modify phone shortcut at the bottom left corner to launch my favorite dialer?

- after rooting my phone,I am unable to use USB tethering anymore(USB tethering error).

- is there a way to remap long press menu,back,vol.up/down buttons to launch my custom app?

- is there a possibility to calibrate stylus? My is apx.2mm off the point.

Thanks for your answers.

Tomas.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgfriedl:
All of the buttons in the tray at the bottom can be changed except the "Applications" button. To edit this, press Applications, Menu, make sure that you are in Grid View and press Edit.

I don't know the source of your USB trouble but could it be related to enabling USB Debugging for the rooting process? You can change that at Home, Menu, Settings, Applications, Development, USB Debugging.

I haven't tried it myself on the Note, but a good way to remap buttons is the ButtonRemapper app and if you want one of those remapped buttons to bring up a menu, take a look at LaunchKey.

I don't think the stylus can be calibrated because the detection technology is not supposed to allow for error. That said, the system will offset the "ink" by about 1mm up-and-left for right-handed writers and up-and-right for left-handed writers so that you can follow what you are writing. You can set your handedness by going to Home, Settings, Pen Settings, Dominant Hand.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TomasNM:
Ad1: thanks,it helps

Ad2: USB tethering still doesn't work,even tough I disable the USB debugging. Tethering was working before I perform root.

Ad3: LaunchKey doesn't work on devices without search button

Ad4: Well,actually the pen has an offset apx.1mm higher than I touch the pen. I was considered,that some utility to correct the touch as general can solve this,if it exists.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgfriedl:
The documentation on LaunchKey says to use ButtonRemapper to map another hardware button *as* a Search key, after which it can latch on to the long-press. That's only really important if you want a button to bring up a menu and there may be other ways to accomplish that which don't require the long press.

One other point of note regarding the "ink" offset. If you turn the Note into its landscape orientation but don't have auto-rotate turned on, you can write with the stylus but the system thinks the device is upright and as such the slight ink offset will show up in the wrong place by 90 degrees.

The moral of this is that if you are using the stylus to write while the phone is in the landscape orientation, make sure that auto-rotate is on.

[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] CCpotter:
I know it's a bad idea to put those blu ray or dvd ripping stuff up here, but i also wanna you guys who wanna do this but don't know how can get a clear understanding and learn some tips for blu ray ripping thing. So my point is, whenever you do this blu ray ripping thing, you do it for private use, you only watch them on your viewpad and will never spread it to others or upload them on to the internet! God bless

Actually i learnt this by watching a youtube video accidently. mp4 is the best video format for viewpad since it has good picture quality and not that big video size. the video is about rip blu ray disc to multiple video formats like mkv, mp4 and other things. Then i google it and download a free version to take a look, it's really easy in use if you follow the youtube video, i mean this guy who made the video is a genius. Being honest, i will never be able to do it without watching the video.

And now i'm gonna post the here, hope it may help

[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] bangjamz:
i thought so too.

since i've tried to play .mkv in mobo player, and its too laggy to watch.

alternatively, you can use any converter you like.

as for me, i use Allok video to mp4 converter, set the resolution you want (best at 800x600) for viewpad7 and dont forget to setup the audio quality (which is best at 128 kbps or smaller) and you can set the audio volume too up to 200 % from the original file
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] DoomSky:
HD video is useless on our device, 800x480 best resolution for our screen, and higher res. doesnt mean quality. Device can't give you more dpi, than it have.

Use CUDA converters, if your videocard compatible. It's faster, than others.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ltdanno360:
Yea it should
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xxprodigyxx11:
I might be wrong but I think it stores photos on a seperate partition. Meaning it should still be there after a reset.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
No it doesn't.

Because the phone doesn't have a SDcard, everything is on 1 partition. Factory reset literally removes everything. You'll lose it all. Back things up before you reset.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ajhavery:
It'll only format /sdcard/.androidsecure as far as i know, if you do reset via recovery.

However if you do it via settings menu then It'll ask you if you want to erase sd card content or not, if you choose so, it'll erase photos and everything on sdcard, however if you don't, then it won't.

This option will come on next screen after you choose to do factory reset.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
If you wipe data/cache in clockworkmod it DOES NOT ERASE THE /sdcard

There is a /mnt/sdcard as if the phone actually had an SD card.

[General Questions and Answers] mobilemedic:
Hello.

I am looking for some information on temporary rooting devices.

My current goal is to gain access to a root adb shell without actually modifying the device permanently. Be able to run a app with elevated privileges that will not modify the phone/tablet in any way and then exit and be back to stock with no changes to the device.

I have been looking at different oneclick root scripts and it seems across many different devices rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin is ran to gain root.

Does it do permanent changes at that point or does it just get access to a root shell to install busybox and su for permanent root after reboot?

If it is just used to gain a root shell, then my goal is to use this within a script to gain root access, run my app with elevated privileges and once finished, close out with no lasting effects to the device. So I will have to do the same process again if needing to run the app again.

If someone can comment on the process of gaining a root shell on android devices I would apprecaite it. I'm sure there is not a simple bin that can be ran on all 2.1 or newer devices but from the research I been doing tonight, seems it has been used on HTC's and Samsungs to gain root.

However if rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin does more than just hack itself root temporarly then that will not work for my issue.

If there is a different area in XDA Forums I should be asking this, please refer me there.

Greatly apprecaite all help on this.

Just root it. Doesnt cause damage
[General Questions and Answers] mobilemedic:
Perm root would be the direct and simple answer to my needs. However it is not what we are looking for. I basically need to be able to remote control a device for the user and help them correct any issues they are having. There is no simple option for doing this as no one has written a "Log Me In" type app for android. And any that are written are for rooted phones. However, Mary-Jo and JimBob who call for help won't have rooted devices only stock. I am not allowed to root the devices because technically its voiding the warranty (even a flash back to stock would be just fine of a fix, but End Users are not that smart sometimes)

So having a Temp root option to be able to run remote control app is my only solution I can see at this time.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Update 14/12/2011

Watch it in action here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OojU0REhrL0.

Update 13/12/2011

bLED kernel module updated to 0.2. Should fix the random crash occuring. Not sure how many of you guys checked the dmesg and found out plenty of stack traces on 0.1 :p

Grab your copy bled-0.2-lkm-update.zip and flash with Clockworkmod. Leave the bled-0.1.apk installed as is, no update is available for that yet :)

Original post

bLED touchkey button notification for GALAXY Note, version 0.1-EA

The wait is over.

Introducing bLED, my version of blinking notification through touchkey button LEDs. It's still on its early access version 0.1, and there are still some known inconveniences or bugs. Please refer to the known problems section for more info.

After applying the patch and installing the apk, your GALAXY Note will blink any notification found on the status bar, including missed calls and (TouchWiz) SMS :cool:

This MOD has been tested on KKA kernel, but it should support all stock kernels (seems like none of custom kernels are supported). But if anything happens, you can restore with the nandroid backup of (just) your system image.

I could be wrong, it could possibly be another issue rather than stock touchkey driver.

Prerequisites

- You'll need a clockworkmod-enabled GALAXY Note. Some advanced users can also load the kernel module by him/herselves.

Installation

0) Do nandroid backups!

Will not held responsible for bricking your phone if you don't backup first :mad:

1) Install the MOD

1.a) Download the update.zip (updated to bled-0.2-lkm-update.zip) and copy over to your SD card

1.b) Reboot in CWM to flash the update.zip. Go to "install zip from sdcard", "choose zip from sdcard", navigate and select the bled-0.2-lkm-update.zip.

1.c) Power off the phone, and start it again (obviously)

2) Install the bLED accessibility service

2.a) Go to "Settings", "Applications". Tick on "Unknown Sources" option.

2.b) Download bled-0.1.apk and install it on your phone. Don't look for it afterwards on your drawer menu as it does not contain real Activity-based application.

2.c) Go to "Settings", "Accessibility". Tick "Accessibility" and "bLED". Just ignore the warning when ticking "bLED", as I'm not interested on your personal details :D

Lock your phone. Have missed calls, SMSes, Whatsapp messages, GMail, whatever. They're all going to be blinked by bLED :cool:

Known issue

- Duration of blinking is currently limited to 15 minutes :rolleyes:

- There will be several seconds of delay before it will blink sms and missed calls. It happens due to the currenlty implemented notification logic. More of a workaround instead of elegant solution. Hope will have better logic for next releases on handling them.

- There are still some mutex locking bugs on KKA kernel. Very ironic, there seems to be some struggle to support PMIC on the currently best SoC in the world, by looking at the kernel codes.

Enjoy :D
