[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjohns63:
I'm familiar with apktool and have been using it for some time to decompile apps and modify them, usually just cosmetic changes through xml. However, I am beginning to see how easy it is to change actual functionality of an app via smali edits. I see in the Google Play terms of service:

I'm wondering what others think about this clause, and whether modifying an apk to allow functionality that would normally not be allowed by the app (for example, allowing additional game levels if a user has purchased them through some external means) violates the terms.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graemeg:
Does anyone know if any of these tweaks dotted around actually work or not, specifically the internet speed tweaks and the telephony delay one.

Ive tried them on my GB rom and they had no effect at all apart from stopping my usb tethering from working, maybe i entered them wrong, i dont know, there was no actual instruction on how to implement them into the build.prop so i literally pasted them in halfway down the list.

There was no difference at all in my internet speeds, so ive either done it wrong or they just do not work at all.

Any info on this subject or instruction would be appreciated.

This isn't to bump the thread, but I figured I should give everyone an update because I cant count how many times I've found someone with an exact same problem as me and they never update it and I stay completly lost.

So what I did was disconnect my phone and redo heimdall like 3 times, and I finally saw it ask for drivers. I clicked "options" on the pop up screens menu bar and clicked "show all devices" then selected something serial I think. It ran and failed on modem again, then I retryed it and it went from the "phone ! computer" (which is essentially a forced download mode) thing to the regular download mode. Then I relaoded hiemdall and clicked the "install bootloaders" thing and let it run. It took a bit, but I finally got it to stock.

I hope this helps somebody in the future.
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
Ok... I have been completely out of the Android game for at least a couple months... (unless you count the occasional check to see if anything is happening on the AOSP front)

Now we have a new leak and new ROMs. Some new devs, some old devs. Though it seems Scott has moved on, or hasn't been paying enough attention to the rezound to know there is a new leak and he needs to update his ROMs.

So, a couple questions guys.

(this info has been difficult to find in the past for the rezound as its spread out too much with no central location to find latest info, unless that has changed recently)

New leak... So we are convinced this is the final version that will hit OTA? If so, Cool...

Are the newest radios any better/worth the change? (subjective for the most part I know) No compatibility issues with the different hboots? (GB vs ICS issues excluded)

I am using the Mod'ed ICS hboot that came with the S=off exploit the day ithe exploit was released. Have we gotten any better versions of Hboot yet? (like a real engineering ICS hboot or newer Mod'ed version?) Is the Mod'ed hboot worth keeping, or should I just use the latest stock version and be done with it?

Aroma? WTF is that... its a new thing for ROM installs but what is it? I found the code page for it, but way too much info, just looking for a summery. LOL I can understand the concepts and how it works, just don't throw too much jargon at me. :p Coding/software isn't my field. I'll stick with avionics.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidfan72:
Suppose i have multiple phone no.s in a contact with all of them having whatsapp. And if i send talk to that contact on whatsapp will the messages go to all numbers?

I had someone else's no. under my friends name in my contacts, that no. also has whatsapp, so when i was talking to my friend was the message going to that no. as well?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sora3004:
No. Although the multiple numbers may appear together in your phone's contacts, each number appears separately in whatsapp. Suppose if a contact has 2 numbers, his name would be listed twice in whatsapp contact list, each for a different number. Usually this is in the same order as it appears in your phone's contacts. If you send a message to one number, it goes to only that number and not to all numbers under the same name :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidfan72:
No actually its not like that on my phone. Suppose im talking to someone, lets call him jack. Im talking to jack on whatsapp and then I click on his name it opens the whole contact and shows all the numbers under his name and shows what all numbers have whatsapp.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sora3004:
Owh. Ok. I understand what you mean. It does open up the entire list of numbers for that contact but the messages are sent to only the first number listed there. Suppose, your friend Jack has two numbers +1 and +2, both with whatsapp. If you click on one number and it shows:

Jack

Mobile +1

Mobile +2

the message will be sent only to the +1 number. On the other hand if you click the other number, it will then show:

Jack

Mobile +2

Mobile +1

the message will be sent only to the +2 number.

They aren't sent to all the numbers. I'm sure of that :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidfan72:
No when I click on the other number, it just opens the keypad with the number there. Like i want to call that no.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sora3004:
When it opens the contact details within whatsapp, a phone icon and whatsapp icon [latter depends on that number having whatsapp] are next to the numbers. If you tap the number or the phone icon, it will take you to the dialer screen or keypad of your phone, like you're calling him/her. If you click the whatsapp icon, it will take you to the chat within whatsapp.

Does that clear your doubt? If it doesn't, post a screenshot of the problem.

What can I do?

It's booting right now, but the boot animation nearly burned my eyes out.

Not used to seeing bright white boot anis anymore :P

Okay, it's booted and well...I like it!

Just a couple of issues:

The notification pulldown handle's right half is transparent

In the settings the "Personal" tab is too big

The long-press-home recent apps needs resizing

When you select the "dropdown lockscreen", your phone will reboot and will bootloop from then on out, untill you do a data wipe.

There's probably more, but I need to check it more :P

Does anyone know of or use an app that will auto-enable a bluetooth tether when wifi isn't connected & vice-versa?

I'd like to have my Prime on line at all times but choose the best available connection.

I looked at having Tasker do this, but it isn't capable of activating a specific bluetooth connection - it can only toggle the bluetooth radio on or off.

Any ideas would be welcome.

Hello,

What do think about them? I feel they are almost the same... can I disable talk and keep only messenger? Have any one tried that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Andro X:
I wish G+ messenger had the same ICS style UI as GTalk	. But on G+ you can text pics and use hangouts. The only thing I don't like about G+ messenger is there is no led notification which GTalk has.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jameslepable:
I don't see why Google doesn't just unify all of its messaging services (Google voice/talk and g+ messenger) into one service. Hopefully that's where it's heading.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gene_Bailey:
I've been talking about this with my friends for the longest time. The fact that GTalk can't send files is a kind of a huge issue for me as other wise its a great service. What I would love to see Google do is take a kind of Apple approach to it.. One messaging app that can text from your phones number or your Google voice number as you so designate, and, if the person your messaging is likewise using an Android 4.0.x and above platform, it would automatically send via data with higher limits to what you could send as opposed to text, and it would link to video calls and hangouts and such like GTalk and Messenger, can send files other than pictures.

Basically, one unified messenger to rule them all. I am not a huge apple fan, but I like the concept of iMessage and I know that if El Goog took the time to make it so, they could unify their services into one glorious messaging platform.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] I Am Marino:
GTalk anyday.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bozzykid:
Unfortunately they are very different. Messenger is mobile only and requires the user have the G+ app but it does offer more features. GTalk allows you to message anyone on an Android or through the web on Gmail or G+. They really need to merge these messaging services into one as it is very confusing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] asb123:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sishgupta:
Gtalk is the backend for android push service.

Hopefully they do integrate their talk services but don't disable Gtalk...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bozzykid:
Google just bought Meebo so I would assume we will see some improvements in this area later this year or early next year at the latest. They have to know their current implementation is not very good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bcrules82:
I'm confused. The GTalk and GChat programs on a PC have been able to send files for years. And on the phone neither GTalk or G+ Messenger can send files, so I'm not sure where that comparison came from.

To share large files (or 300 photos) just toss them on Google Drive or Dropbox. I haven't checked, but there's also probably an app to take advantage of Wifi-Direct to "beam" it locally.

Also, G+ messenger doesn't have a standalone PC application. That is no good for unifying. I use the PC app at home/work, and phone app elsewhere. Having to keep your browser open to chat is a real nuisance IMHO.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gene_Bailey:
However the GTalk client on Android does not allow for sending any files whatsoever. And while yes you could use drop box or drive or others as a workaround, what I'm saying is that including that support on the Android Platform app would be amazing. And a huge incentive to use it over regular texting.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MohamadKarbi:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] .wojtek:
Thanks. That would be nice to get this some traction. There were actually already some articles pointing out the issue but those faded away without any impact.

Nevertheless - it can't be ruled out that google is already working on this (*fingers crossed*) :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] niks4101:
I prefer Gtalk being left alone. Also I don't know why but Google keeps adding random people to my g+ messenger contact list. They are not on my circles either.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] .wojtek:
maybe you have added them as following? Had same problem but then I went to chat -> privacy settings and selected "my circles" and in g+ settings I selected only a few close circles as "my circles" and actually the list is waaay shorter (and is basically the same as in gtalk).
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlyingPoo:
Im looking into developing without destroying my tablet. So I am able to back up my partitions like this.

I was wondering what each of the partitions corresponded to and if it is possible to flash one that is backed up via fastboot like this. I am also assuming block size IS 4096.

fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash mmcblk0p1 mmcblk0p1.img

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brad387:
Around one month ago now, I decided to take the plunge and purchased an International Galaxy Note from 3 on a £27 GBP per month 24-month contract (including 500 minutes, 5000 texts and unlimited data). I love the phone so far and it is my first proper Android phone, minus an old second-hand HTC Desire which had a severe storage problem. The big screen is a definite plus and I'm looking for ways to enhance my Galaxy Note experience.

First off, what exactly is rooting in basic English and how difficult is the procedure? Will it void any warranties and, if so, what are the exact benefits of rooting my device? I am running the stock UK ICS ROM, by the way. Also, will rooting cause my to lose my data such as contacts or apps? If I mess up rooting, will it ruin my device/brick it forever?

Flashing a new ROM on, at a guess, will lose all my data but what are the exact benefits of that also? What does the process involve? Any recommendations for custom ROMs would be appreciated too. I'd like one which features the S-Pen apps though (S Note, S Planner and S Memo).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warfareonly:
Woohooo....so many questions bunched together...give them to me in point form and I'll tell you the answers immediately...

Anyways here are my answers--

Read this for any should-I-root/advantage/disadvantages type of questions.Awesome post.End of discussion on that front.

For how to root, check out dr.ketan's guide(it's in the dev section).The procedure is pain free unless you melt down with anxiety ;).No, if you mess up rooting it just means you flash another stock ROM and try again--although you'd have to work pretty hard to fail that provided no power outages,battery deads happen.No,rooting doesn't mean you lose contacts or app data.

Yes, flashing a new ROM will mean losing your app data.But that can be backed up using TB and then restored later at your convenience. ONLY Samsung based ROMs have support for S-pen apps.

---------- Post added at 06:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:36 PM ----------

All right, Pointdexter, sit down and listen!---Sheldon Cooper

There is a bug in samsung ICS kernels which may cause your note to get bricked when you wipe data on it(doesn't matter if you do it via phone settings or recovery).Your best bet may be ROMs which don't use Samsung kernels.If you have to use the samsung based kernels then flash the speedmod kernel immediately after you flash the rom without wiping.Repeat-without wiping.Under no circumstances will you wipe your phone while having the stock ICS kernel.This method isn't fail-proof however and search and ask more before trying to go down this road.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stiffi2011:
In my opinion 1 follows the other. That is to say you probly don't need to root unless you want to flash a custom rom. The only exception would be if you wanted to add or delete features that you cannot do unless rooted.

In my case I flashed a custom rom to get a few distinct features, those being the S voice program and the stock android keyboard. Both of those I found work well with the Criskelo custom rom.

If it weren't for those features however I probably would not have flashed and not even bothered to root. So it really depends on what you are looking to do
