Hi all,

a couple of month ago I build an app with shortcuts for the "secret" dialer codes within the galaxy S2, because I could not remember them all ...This app is special tailored for the galaxy S2, but should work on all SAMSUNG devices with TOUCHWIZ ... Not all codes will work on all devices, but a lot these codes work on other samsung touchwiz devices.

I tested the App with my GS3 and a lot of these codes still working ....

You could also add your own codes and ussd codes to an app internal database ... and some users even uses this database as hidden phone book :)

Check it out: ...discontinued due to changes in firmware

(Important: These codes will NOT work on most custom roms, Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus, HTC, Sony, Motorolla etc. ...I´m a little bit annoyed by comments like: Not working on my HTC, Sony, Nexus S, Samsung XYZ with custom rom zyx ....:mad: ...without Touchwiz, there is no possibility to use touchwiz firmware functions !)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dansmell:
Hi everyone,

Is there anyway to hide the mouse cursor when using the docks touchpad?

Im using DosBox Turbo and its very confusing when you can see 2 mouse cursors on the screen, Does anyone know if it can be hidden either within the emulator settings or the TF101 settings.

Many thanks in advanced.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thing O Doom:
Needs a version of CWM recovery, flash the preferred zip. (No-circle in your case)

Pointer without circle click.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dansmell:
Thanks for your quick reply,

Ive flashed the zip but now its stuck on the Asus loading screen with the circle.

Any ideas?

Im on ICS Revolver.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thing O Doom:
The zip was designed for aosp based w.w so it might cause problems. You can get into recovery fine right? try reflashing the revolver rom over it and should boot up
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dansmell:
Yep ive reflashed the Rom and everythings back to normal, I should read the entire thread before I jump in and start flashing things :p ,

Anyway this is on hold at the moment because now my transformer wont charge due to a loose connection in the usb cable, Thing is aswell I dont think theres anywhere locally were I can by one so gonna have to order online and wait :mad:

Update:

New usb cable arrived today and tablet now fully charged. :)

Still havent got rid of my cursor at the moment, Im happy with my current rom and dont fancy changing it, Does anyone know if there are any mods to Revolver rom to hide the cursor or can the other mod by modified??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] needspractice:
On my Sprint Galaxy Nexus when I first got it the stock wifi tethering setting worked on my stock ICS. Later on I found that it just doesn't work anymore. It will activate and appear to be working and let my laptop connect but the 3G will go away like they have some kind of built in checker.

I did some research and found out that they might have a checking system set up. Well I found out you can still use apps like Foxfi which is great but I was just wondering if there was a stock work around.

They even blocked Foxfi from the market place but you can go to there main site and download it from there.

I was just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this and what kind of solutions do they use.

Right now I am using Foxfi which works perfect but I read that you can use a widget like switch pro and create a toggle to switch the portable wifi hot spot without it going through the check.

I do not want to use USB only prefer hot spot.

So please let me know all of your guys types of solutions.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
Well obviously the wifi tether built in is something your supposed to pay for. For stock no, there are no mods.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] needspractice:
I thought it was just weird because it worked at first but now it doesn't the stock version. Maybe because my phone was just still getting set up. Foxfi works for me great because I like to have hot spot but I hear PDA Net still works as well for USB Tethering.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] needspractice:
Does your Sprint tether work or do you have to use FoxFi?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nevrlow:
Just root it and tether it up
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
It probably worked because they hadn't yet blocked it for you. Then you tried to use it and they did block it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] canteenboy:
Have you tried this? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1658288

I unlocked the bootloader, booted to TWRP Recovery without flashing it and flashed the tether zip. Keeps your phone stock and unlocks the built in tether. You don't even have to root.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] needspractice:
What program do you use to unlock the boot loader or flash the roms?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] needspractice:
How in the world did you boot into TWRP without flashing it? That might not be rooted but seems like you have to flash a rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BeerChameleon:

Also u can fast boot unlock boot loader and flash recovery via fast boot.. u need to use adb and computer tho

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] n2ishun:
Do what everyone else does....

Root it (you really need to to install any decent app).

Install wireless tether from http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/

Always install the newest one posted (yes it's beta, but it's rock solid stable).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] needspractice:
Which program do you use to flash things? Qdl tool or is that old school? I know there is a power house program for the Nexus but I forgot what it is its on my home computer am I out of town.

So you are saying you have to at least flash the recovery but not the from so its still a little more than FoxFi.

What's a quick step by step process because its been a while since I have flashed things. I use to flash my dell streak all the time until I got my Nexus which I love.

Why did you decide to flash? Is not FoxFi good enough and simple enough?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] needspractice:
What other programs do you really need to install besides the tethering app?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] n2ishun:
You just have to be rooted and then install wireless tether.

It will prompt you to allow super user access on first start, allow it and tick the "always allow this action" box.

It's bomb proof....been using it for years on numerous different phones....and numerous different carriers (sprint included).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
clockworkmod tether is another no root required tether app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danger-rat:
I use Chrome browser on my laptop, and change the user agent to the same as the phone (there's a Chrome app). No problems tethering...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] needspractice:
Is that USB or Hot Spot?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] needspractice:
Looks like FoxFi is still the easiest solution.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coolqf:
You can root your phone and then install wifi tether. Thus is what I did...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
Check sig.

Unlock bootloader.

Flash recovery.

Root.

(Or skip the root altogether and flash the above .zips that were mentioned. Make a nandroid first).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] needspractice:
I See.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tracerit:
did you just sign up with Sprint? I think they give you 30 free days of wifi hotspot then shut it off. Until you root and use it again haha.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] needspractice:
Yes I did. I got onto a family plan with some family. They must of have given me 30 free days of it. No matter because I use FoxFi now even though Sprint has banned it from the Market.

I prefer FoxFi because I really enjoy the unrooted feel plus also really do not need any apps that require root access. People can't even really tell me why they need root access other than to mess around with their phone.

I rooted my Dell Streak like crazy and loved it but tethering was the only real reason why I rooted it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] needspractice:
I can confirm that Foxfi overrides the new trick that Sprint somehow disables portable wifi hot spot. So Foxfi still works of you need a wifi hotspot without root.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokios:
I have made several unsuccessful attempts at getting my phone to connect to my laptop or desktop ( both same OS ). I will do my best to provide the scenarios I have gone through. It may be as simple as locating the drivers and deleting, but I'm not sure how to tell which ones to delete.

Phone: HTC EVO 4G

Recovery: (Amon)RA-supersonic-v2.3

ROM: (Current) MIUI 2.6.8

OS: Windows 7 x64

Cables: Used both one provided with phone and a data transfer/charging cable purchased from BB/Rocketfish

FYI: I had the same problem with previous MIUI, and for whatever reason, attempts to load Classic v0.1.0 were unsuccessful last night, so I used Nandroid to re-load this os back on.

When the phone is booted into the OS, and connected to the laptop, the phone screen wakes, and Windows gives me "USB Device Not Recognized." This is WITH or WITHOUT HTC Driver installed from their Sync application. Attempts to utilize the SDK USB driver are met with "Windows has determined the best driver is already installed." When I try to explicitly specify one of the files within that directory, I am met "The folder you specified does not contain a driver, ensure you have a driver compatible with an x64 system." so, I located a file that claims to have HTC x64 drivers, and I get the *exact* same message as above (not compatible with x64).

Booted into recovery is no better. When I enable USB-MS, there are no new drives for me to go into to investigate. Same thing when in the fully booted OS.

I am sorry if this seems like a retread, but I have spent the last few days pouring through google and these forums without finding anything that has helped.

I have had to remove the MicroSD card and put it in a reader to load files onto it/pull files off. I am at work and have some downtime and would like to try to flash a new OS to this phone since THIS MIUI seems glitchy. and... my nandroid is at home.

EDIT: wtf... I could have sworn this was enabled in the past but I guess not. enabling USB debugging seems to have rectified the issue.

EDIT 2: Alright, I spoke too soon. Now, when connected, the phone repeatedly pops up asking me if I want to open SD card for sharing or whatever the terminology is. I cannot keep the connection alive long enough to transfer any files. Has anyone else experienced this?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sckruch:
I have 3 EVOs in my family, i have a similar issue with one of them. I have come to the conclusion that my wife is brutal with her phone and has messed the USB port up. It still charges, just doesn't get recognized when connected to a computer. I briefly got it to work, but haven't had any reliable success.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topo123:
Could ne ur USB cable that is shot ? Or if its wiggley then the USB port is desolderd
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokios:
I found that, after installing classic, and the latest htc media app, which may have installed a better driver, I still had this issue. However, if I plug the phone in and rest it on my desk, it seems to behave.

So, it must be the port on the phone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] maxrfon:
Hello community.

I have a small question: Last months i meet phones where i can't run any binary anymore, the native, compiled with the Android NDK. Is it a joke or i am doing anything wrong?

For example the HTC Explorer - i can't even use the /data/local/tmp anymore, can't chmod my apps to co-work with the main software.

It looks like Android is giving up with the real open-source. The manufactorers developers are so lame, so they can't protect their simlocks or other useless stuff and playing a paranoia games by destroying the meaning of the open-source...

Well seems like it's about the time to switch to another, real open-source platform.

I'd say short - google su..cks.

I am using Sony Live with Walkman WT19i

Android version 4.0.4

Build Number 4.1.B.0.431

I have a few questions --

1 - What is difference between unlocking bootloader and rooting? Which one to do first? can one be done without other?

2 - if I want to root my device, what method should i use?
[General Questions and Answers] blazzer12:
the rooting business

1) rooting - its gaining ADMIN level or ROOT level access similar to root in linux. You can do anything without restrictions.

unlock bootloader - you have to unlocking the bootloader, so it can load a custom rom you want. Without unlocking, only the device manufacturer's original ROM is loaded.

You can root it, but leave the bootloader intact and not the other way around.

2) try this thread :

I am also trying to root my WT19i, but it seems not possible on the ICS upgrade, so I have to downgrade to GB.

This is simple howto enable Call recording on the Galaxy S3 Firmewares.

You need to decompile SecPhone.apk, use my repacked Apk_Manager (it should work for any ICS file 4.0.3/4.0.4).

Open "SecPhone.apk\smali\com\android\phone\PhoneFeature.smali", and make the changes :

const-string v7, "voice_call_recording"

invoke-virtual {v8}, Ljava/lang/Boolean;->booleanValue()Z

move-result v1

if-nez v1, :cond_e

invoke-virtual/range {v19 .. v19}, Ljava/lang/Boolean;->booleanValue()Z

move-result v1

if-nez v1, :cond_e

invoke-virtual {v11}, Ljava/lang/Boolean;->booleanValue()Z

move-result v1

if-nez v1, :cond_e

invoke-virtual/range {v19 .. v19}, Ljava/lang/Boolean;->booleanValue()Z

move-result v1

if-eqz v1, :cond_40

:cond_e
[COLOR=SeaGreen] ++:goto_12[/COLOR]
const/4 v1, 0x1

[COLOR=Red] --:goto_12[/COLOR]
invoke-static {v1}, Ljava/lang/Boolean;->valueOf(Z)Ljava/lang/Boolean;

move-result-object v1

You may get different "goto" IDs, so make the changes depending on your IDs.

Tested on my stock and custom Deodexed ZSALED with no need to replace any lib (unlike sgs2).

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] PeterGuru:
Strange Behaviour ...

Finally, it seems that I can record phone calls; however, there seems to be an odd glitch.

If I make a call or when a call comes in, if I then press the Record button, nothing happens. It usually takes at least 4-5 attempts at pressing the Record button before I finally see the red dot flashing, which would indicate that recording has begun. Any idea why it never works on my first attempt?

Also, is there a way of setting up the system to ALWAYS record all calls ... without the need for pressing a button?

Thanks,

Peter

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] fylim:
Quick question to confirm, is this call recording capability dependant on phone baseband?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] eitama:
I was trying to decompile the SecPhone.apk file with the magic Apk_Manager you posted,

But was getting Java heap problems. As my PC is far from low-end... I modified the Script.bat with Xmx2048m instead of some var there, and it worked!

Lol, I am totally noob at this.

After messing around a little more I noticed the tool specifies it's working @ 64MB heap size, and it's a standard option there to increase it.

1. Should I be using decompile with dependencies?

2. If so, How do I specify both of them with the drag and drop thingy?

3. Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] The Undertakerr:
I don't own an S3, but when you decompile S2 phone.apk,

you have to use twframework-res as dependencie file and set compression to 0.

I guess the same would count for the S3...

If you can't do it, upload your phone.apk. I will give it a try:)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] eitama:
I added twframework and framework, but to no avail.

The compression hint is something is was not aware of.

The errors I am getting are at the compile time, I am getting errors for some of the translations.

My SecPhone.apk : https://dl.dropbox.com/u/15924481/S3 LF2/SecPhone.apk

Upload ETA 2 min.

Even just compile / recompile would be interesting to me.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] The Undertakerr:
Ok, I will give it a try with your file.

Will be back at you within 15 minutes.

Since this is only a smali change, you can also choose not to use apktools, but de/re compile the classes.dex with smali/baksmali...

Will be back to you shortly...

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] wanam:
I guess you have a plural expression to be fixed on your "/values/strings.xml", upload it.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] eitama:
But I have not changed anything aside from compile / decompile.

If you can explain what exactly you mean, I will fix it myself.

Let me ask you this :

When you patched up the call recording, did you do this with apktool / apkmultitool / did you have to fix strings.xml yourself before compiling with apktool?

I can upload my strings.xml, but I don't want you to waste time on it.

My purpose is to know what to do myself :(

I would even be glad if you used teamviewer to show me on my own PC if you have time / will.

Thanks.

Edit: If you still decide you want to see my strings.xml file. Here : http://pastebin.com/A4uRL0kY
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] wanam:
I always use my packed ApkManager, and yes you may have to fix some plurals even if you didn't change it, it's maybe a baksmali issue.

Fix these lines :

<string name="throttle_status_subtext">"%1$s (%2$d٪) of %3$s period maximum
Next period starts in %4$d days (%5$s)"</string>
<string name="throttle_data_usage_subtext">%1$s (%2$d٪) of %3$s period maximum</string>

like this :

<string name="throttle_status_subtext">"%1$s (%2$d) of %3$s period maximum
Next period starts in %4$d days (%5$s)"</string>
<string name="throttle_data_usage_subtext">%1$s (%2$d) of %3$s period maximum</string>

It should work now.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] eitama:
Thanks!

I had another problem which I think I just realized.

ApkManager asks if the apk is a system app, I hit yes, so it copies the certificates etc.

I didn't know I don't have to sign after because the filename is "unsigned..."

So I kept signing it. I believe I was ruining the certificates.

I was no able to produce one SecPhone.apk that actually works without any modifications to xmls.

Now I can go ahead and do what I wanted to do :)

Let's see if it works.

I'll share my work when I'm done :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] eitama:
Wanam,

Are you able to find the video-call button tag in any of the layout files?

I can't find it.

Closest I got is :

dialpad_additional_buttons.xml

Which has 3 buttons in it:

call / search / delete

Call and delete have the correct icons I am looking for.

Search has a search Icon which is not presented in the phone app when used.

My Goal : (Was hoping to keep it secret till I do it!)

Swap video call and voice call buttons location.

I keep hitting Video call because samsung swapped the order on the SGS3 vs SGS2/1/Note
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] NaabKing:
Does this automatically records all the conversations or does it add a button or something to turn recording on and off when you wanna?
