[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] penfold:
aha!

it seems that is the answer ....so how do we enable 24 bit rendering?

can't find any info on it ...or is it something that should not be changed?

i presume there would have been an option on the phone if it was ok to do without too much performance degradation
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 4eLLka:
Maybe someone could do scroll in stock Tw launcher:rolleyes:? In widgets like Apw or Plume.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] chandrus1983:
Buddy, i am not able to understand, can you explain a bit ?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 4eLLka:
Install APW, then login in to your FB accout or Twitter. Try to scroll your tweets up or down - its dont work. It works only after you click the arrow in APW. In ADW launcher or Launcher Pro it works by default.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
scollable widgets are not supported in tw. Better use other third party launcher. About modding it I think its very tough thing and maybe devs won't be interested in it as there are alternatives available.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
Wait for sometime buddy.

ICS is on the way & if I remember correctly then TW 5 / Nature UX of S3 has been ported for Droids on ICS.

Then you can enjoy the scrolling the widgets & much more. :D

Cheers ! :)

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jphilippon:
Well you do now.

Just asking because I see screen shot in most of the power options in the ROMs for the HOX and I don't understand why. XD
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] FZ1Darren:
on mine it's power plus home.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jphilippon:
That blew my mind. Lol.

No but seriously, it's built into stock as power volume down, you have to hold them.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kleeman7:
What rom are you on? It's doesn't work for everyone I have only seen it work on cleanrom.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] FusionTechFTS:
Pretty sure default has always been power+home. Power down doesn't do jack for me....well, it turns off my screen after my phone goes to vibrate.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Vendetta-NY:
Learn something new every day...

[POWER] + [HOME] on stock 1.85.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] stnguyen09:
Power + down is the stock ICS way of doing it and it works...sorta. You have to get the timing right or else it'll just turn off your screen, bring your power menu up, or mess with your volume.

Power + Home is just so much easier though...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jphilippon:
It worked for me on stock and still does on CleanROM 4.0

Hit them at the same time and hold them. Home is dumb for me I don't like the path it saves to. :P
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jphilippon:
Once you get it you won't mess up anymore. It's very easy.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Yup, power+home has been how HTC has done it for some time now, since before ICS.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jphilippon:
Well geeze guys! Just sharing my discovery! XD

Also, I wish it'd get taken out of the power menu. Don't need 3 ways to take a screen shot.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] FusionTechFTS:
Well I'll be damned. I don't think I could do the ics way while drinking though. simul button push while under the influence of scotch could prove troubling.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
And nobody says there is anything wrong with that!

I was just pointing out the fact that HTC has included this feature since before Google decided to incorporate it in ICS.

Also, its interesting that HTC decided to include both their own method, and the Google way. HTC typically seems to prefer their own way of doing things, and removing the more "AOSP-ish" components.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mcmb03:
where is it saved to then?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Power+vol down ==> DCIM

Power+Home ==> Pictures>Screenshots
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] chriscerv90:
Holding power and volume down at the same time is native to ICS and will save the screenshot to

/mnt/sdcard/pictures/screenshots

if I'm not mistaken. The One X can also take screenshots via home and power button. This will save the screenshot into a new folder DCIM or just drop them into /camera. I cant remember.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jphilippon:
Power home puts it in camera shots.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] vioalas:
I hate the volume down+home, lol. When I hold the phone in my left hand and go to press home with my thumb it sometimes takes a screenshot.

On a random note, I feel like the HOX and a lot of other phones are easy to use one handed. I have slightly larger than average hands, but people should just put their pinky right under the home key on the edge if they need to. ANYWAY
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jphilippon:
Thats how I hold it too! And I agree it's easy to use with one hand, save texting.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kleeman7:
You have to hit power button and vol down at the same time and hold, it worked for me, I just wasn't waiting log enough before.
[HTC Amaze 4G] coachmoore:
Get guys...I finally got the bootloader unlocked, time to root! I had planned to use the method by hasoon 2000 but after I downloaded winrar I tried to get his toolkit and it won't let me in the download page. Any ideas and is this the best method for perm s off?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Link works fine for me.

http://d-h.st/mue
[HTC Amaze 4G] coachmoore:
Thanks man, I really appreciate the help. That's not the page that came up for me..Lol. when it comes to the recovery, what would you suggest.. CWM or the ext4? Sorry, I'm a noob.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Ext4, simplest touch recovery with support.
[HTC Amaze 4G] coachmoore:
Thanks! I asked on that particular thread, but you seem to have alot if knowledge on it, so I'll just ask here as well. Since I already have bootloader unlocked, do I just jump right over to the recovery selection, then to perm root? Also.. when do I need to plug my phone in and do I need to be just normal on or in the screen from volume down and power? Does it give superuser and busy box? Sorry about all the dumb noob questions, just don't want to brick this thing.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
At least you're being nice about it, that counts for something, okay here goes:

1. Yes, go straight to recovery because you'll need it to root.

2. Rooting only gives you super user, not busybox, but you can always download busybox from the android market

3. You can be on normal screen or fastboot, it doesn't matter, the tool will detect which one you are on and reboot it into whichever screen it needs. Remember to turn usb debugging on so the tool can find the phone.

4. You can't brick if you're not s-off :p

You can also have a look see in the amaze bible thread, we give a lot of info about this device in there, I'd be happy to help you once you are willing to work with me as well and once you read instructions veeerry carefully before trying anything.
[HTC Amaze 4G] coachmoore:
Gotta be nice when asking dumb questions! Lmao!!! I'm not completely new to this, my G2 was rooted and I was a flashaholic...Lol. For some reason, this just seems much more daunting.
[HTC Amaze 4G] coachmoore:
Also..do I need to back up this room that's in here now, before I try rooting in case something goes wrong?
[HTC Amaze 4G] coachmoore:
And it says flash your kernel. Do I need to get one and put it in my sd card?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Ignore the kernel option unless you're installing a new rom, no you don't need to backup if you're just rooting the device, but you can make a backup and keep it just in case you need it, it's not that daunting when you get the hang of it like I did, this was my very first HTC device, so unlike you, I didn't have a little previous experience lol.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
Coachmoore - its safe to have atleast one backup before flashing a different Rom. Just in case the Rom you want to flash might of downloaded corrupt or if you get stuck in bootloops.

If you're using 4EXT recovery then don't worry about kernel flashing. It will flash it for you. Any other recovery won't.

Just he sure to let it boot 2times before thinking anything is wrong.

Edit...damnit I take too long to reply..lol

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[HTC Amaze 4G] coachmoore:
Ok,2 more questions and i promise ill shut up. I was gonna use a new rom so is that what it means by flash kernel? And it says this doesnt give s-off... i thought that was rooting. What is the difference? The whole reason for wanting to root is to use differe3nt roms, oc, etc... can u do that with s-on?
[HTC Amaze 4G] coachmoore:
Ok, how do I back this one up? I've only done that with Rom manager and it has to have root.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
When in recovery, choose the backup/restore option to backup your current rom. S-off is not the same as rooting, read the amaze bible thread to know the difference of the two.
[HTC Amaze 4G] coachmoore:
Thanks for all of your help!
[HTC Amaze 4G] coachmoore:
Did volume down/power but didn't see anything about backing up.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
4EXT is a touch recovery. There's a thread in the Development section. Read the OP of it. There should be screen shots of how its supposed to look like.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[HTC Amaze 4G] coachmoore:
Thanks for all of your help, guys!! I am rooted! Couldn't have done it without you guys help..again, thanks!
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] xavenged:
Ok so I am going to purchase an unlock code from cellunlocker.net. I have used them for my galaxy s2 skyrocket with success. Now I would like to help out the community by taking a system dump before the unlock and after. If anyone has info on how to do this or what i need to do please let me know. I have no idea how to go about this process. Thanks!
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] m82a1:
I'm pretty sure the SIM unlock doesn't work like that. Unlike the i9300. The SIM lock / unlock status, settings, etc is stored in other areas. Not in the Android file system. So a system dump comparison between locked and unlocked is pointless.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] KennyG123:
This would probably be best posted in Q&A

Currently not development

[HTC One X] mcmbrooks:
hello everybody here on xda,

i have my self a very shinny hox (t3) unlocked through htcdev.com but no s-off :( but my question is can any one tell me what usb master mode is? i may sound stupid but when you hold down both volumes and the power a weird message comes up looking for a .zip then usb master mode but reboots back to the bootloader?:confused:

cheers :good:
[HTC One X] Kickasskev:
Anyone?
[HTC One X] PMaksymiuk:
USB is asymetrical - meaning that in a usb link there is a master and a slave. For example, when you plugin a usb drive to your PC, the PC is the master and the usb disk is a slave.

It's done this way to lower cost of end devices, usb devices can be "dumb" when their slaves - means less components to build them - means cheap cheap cheap!

This is why Firewire was better, but failed to adopt as much as USB.

At any rate, when you connect your OneX to the PC, it acts in slave mode, presenting a couple of devices - USB Storage, Network Adapter, ADB and what have you not. What you see in hboot is when it is in master mode - meaning you can connect stuff like USB drives and keyboards TO the One X (using a Y Cable). In hboot specifically this is used to find recovery zip/.nbh files. Since the OneX has no removable storage, if you would screw up your system and recovery for some reason, you wouldn't be able to restore your phone easily (well, yes, there are methods, but it's basically HTC trying to have functionality they used to have by using a dongle).

I believe some android roms could (and do) provide Master mode for OneX. This would allow you to hook up USB keyboards, mice, gamepads and usb disks.

Hope this explains everything :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcheong:
I've tried doing a lot of personal research before asking. I have watchdog and betterbatterystats. I found 2 apps chewing away at my battery. After using the app I always press back and then it pops up do you really want to exit and I select yes. However, I look at the processes and I will see it running in the background. Using stuff like advanced task killer (and a bunch of other killer apps) doesn't help, as soon as it kills it, the thing just spawns again. I had to force close it or sometimes reboot the phone. Is there any app that locks down these apps so it only allows process to run when the app is in the foreground and as soon as we leave it closes all aspect of that app? (I can't uninstall those 2 apps cause they are kinda essential; but by no means does it require any background process or need to be constantly running). So far it only runs in the background if I opened the app once, but if it starts to auto run I'm screwed.

Is there any app like the cydia backgrounder where I can set a whitelist or a blacklist that only lets the app run in the foreground and as soon as I press home it will stop all its process.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshnichols189:
Autostarts in the market. It let's you see what apps start up under what conditions. I would assume you can just doable all conditions the apps can start up from and it would do as you describe.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcheong:
I have autostart doesn't work, ok I give you an example:

Groupon app. If you don't load it after a reboot it doesn't run, however as soon as you opened the app once. Theres like no way to close it.

Come-on... one of you guys must know how to close an app and prevent it from loading up after I leave the app. Isn't there anything like cydia backgrounder that I can set so apps are only allowed to load in the foreground and closes as soon as go back to the launcher???
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angeliou:
Solution

The best solution to this is to install titanium backup. After that, create a widget in ur homescreen and select titanium backup widget (action). Then, select the action freeze/defrost/launch and after select the app ex. Facebook and create the widget. After, you will notice that the widget for the Facebook app has created to ur homescreen with a green locker. If u press on it, it will lock the app (freezed it actually) so it doesnt run. if you want to run the app, tap again on it and automatically will defrost it and launch it. :D

Hit thanks if i helped you :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chamonix:
I just want to add some info for a better understanding even if I understand what you meant.

1. A package showing in the process list after you chose "exit" is a sign for a service running. This is not necessary bad as there are many services doing nothing but waiting for events to process (of course some service do stuff in the background and it is good to look after those).

2. In Android there is no such concept as an app, there are activities (dialogs), and services and both have pretty complex life cycles (not just opened or closed) as you can see here

But back to your question: the right way to get rid of apps you don't want/need (also called bloatware in some cases) is to freeze them. One good tool for doing that is titanium backup.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcheong:
I understand the point of apps that show up and are 0% cpu usage like facebook etc. I was only using it as an example. There are plenty of other apps that do infact chew up cpu and battery after it is loaded for the first time and is unable to close the background processes (they are shown in the watchdog and betterbatterystats). So the only way is to freeze and unfreeze everytime I use these apps?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
So over on the Xperia S forums they have this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1742992 which is a guide to root the Xperia S with a locked bootloader. Has anyone tried those steps with the ion and a locked bootloader?

I will test this out in a week (after my week of use testing the international firmware on my at&t ion) if no one else has yet. Thought it might be interesting to see if it works for us too.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] earbrain:
Im out n away from my comp through the weekend spec but I will cerainly help sort through and test soon as I can. eb
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] npspears:
Guinea Pig

I want to test this out but don't want to brick my phone. What do you think the chances of bricking would be? I'm assuming we would have to use the international firmware since we don't yet have the at&t file, right?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] earbrain:
Does anybody know if restore via pc connect is possible for ion? Should be, I just havent yet had a chance to connect. eb
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
Don't have what AT&T file?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] npspears:
Nevermind Spectre, found the AT&T file.

Is it easy to brick a phone with flashtool?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
By just flashing a ftf no not really. Just make sure you have enough battery life and you should be good.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] yuunanase:
I tried it with my ion the other day, but there was something like a partation size error.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
Tried today using just the at&t GB ftf but it wouldn't work on step two. Said permission denied. Might need the ICS firmware like how the guide says for the Xperia S. The ics ftf posted in the ion boards gives me (and it seems others with locked bootloaders) sin verification errors.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] earbrain:
Damn.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SMN23:
So I found this site, http://bbs.gfan.com/android-4269369-1-1.html

According to it some people have successfully rooted the AT&T Ion somehow

You'll need something like Chrome to translate it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] fcb13:
It didnt work for me, said something about the ADB Shell
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
Any other info about that other than running that exe?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] fcb13:
Nope, it just gives you an interface that says ROOT or UNROOT. This is the website for the program http://www.unlockroot.com/
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
You would see ways to root here on XDA before seeing it in a program like that I would imagine.

That program doesn't list the LT28 on its supported list either. Doesn't work with the LT26i either though it says it does.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] fcb13:
I hope someone finds a method, I'm also hoping that we see some development on the ion.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SMN23:
Ahh my bad guys :/ My computer is far too slow to use to backup all my internal SD files, if it wasn't I wouldn't have wasted your time with that.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
Well once we get a FTF we can use of ICS we can try using the same method that was used on the Xperia S to get root with a locked bootloader. But it needs ICS to do the exploit.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SMN23:
Probably a stupid question but, what would it take to make an FTF? I mean like people are always making .zips of ROMs that can be flashed via recovery. Would it be any different besides for the method of getting it on the device?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
Well we have to get the files from SUS or PC companion of an official release to make into an FTF. Right now ICS isn't being pushed out anywhere so we are stuck waiting.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SMN23:
Alright thanks, wasn't really sure what the difference was that was stopping us from doing that.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DennisDD78:
I know that this is a rhetorical question, but when there will be availible root with locked BL? It seems like noone cares about this question, what Doomlord saiyng about it ? Root through unlocked BL is not so good decision, so the problem is still open and it`s very actual. :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SMN23:
Everyone with this phone that wants to achieve root cares, not everyone with this phone has the know how to ge t it done. Please read before posting, especially Spectre's posts.

Has anyone tried to root the 111 FTF when upgrading from 72 to 111?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
And how would you suggest we try?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DennisDD78:
If we already have official ICS for Ion, i would try to root my Ion by Xperia S method with locked bootloader, but i`m afraid to do it on GB :( If there will be any emergency situations during the root process, i have my doubts that i will take the right decision.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
we don't have official ics yet.and that method won't work without ics. Can't do it with just GB.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] popfan:
It is almost better to wait for ICS anyway. Since we know it is coming more or less soon and the Xperia S technique needs just little work also, it will not be too bad to wait.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] azn75vtec:
Don't hold your breath on ICS guys... seeing how att will be going over the update before launching it officially to everyone in the U.S. just like GB release on X10...

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
Whether you think its too long or not doesn't matter. Its coming just have to be patient or not and get a different phone. Its actually moving along quicker than what it usually does for AT&T to test a firmware release.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sniktawm:
Good to know it's moving along quickly. I'm waiting patiently. I will upgrade to the Ion once the ATT version can be rooted.

That's what I'm gonna try to do. But I'm switching from Verizon... So it's complicated.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DennisDD78:
Tried to root today by Xperia S methods, doesn`t work at all :( All the steps of instruction passed OK, but in the end of all this no root access. It seems like those methods for Xperia S only, and they are doesn`t work on Ion. But anyway, i`m not going to unlock BL for root, maybe later we will be eble to get root access somehow like Xperia S users.

You got point there, but nothing in this world is for free. Everybody needs to make money somehow. And that is the way of Google. I am glad with what is Android capable of and the extras we got from them. Compared to the other OS we can say that we are free;)
[Android General] - Swift -:
Well its pretty much the most "versatile" CELL OS outthere
[Android General] Jeteroll:
Although OP is right, I consider Andorid much more 'Open' then iOS. Just the sheer number of people developing ROMs, kernels, etc. shows how much easier it is to develop for Android then iOS. How many custom ROMs are there for iOS? The answer is none. So while the separation of versions, different vendors, and different providers may be holding the platform back, nothing is perfect, and from a development perspective, we have to realize that Android id much more 'Free" then iOS.
[Android General] Panos_dm:
Yes! That's absolutely right. I just wanted to point out that it would be best if we could treat android just like our Linux distros. Oh well, I'd like to believe that the time when we will have a trully open source phone is close...
