You must first decompile the framework with apktool. That way, the xmls will be decoded and perfectly readable.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bejjo:
of course..I have decompiled it with apktool,then I opened it one by one,and the problem is I can not understand all of code....like as fffffffff.....true...transparent...etc. Where can I find this thread/tutorial ??

Sorry I am just the beginer....but thank's you !!
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris95X8:
Well that depends on what you want to change. Google will help you alot with understanding those stuff.

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris95X8:
Can you paste here the entire block of code in which you wish to edit the color?

Two apps recently popped up on my phone and I'm not quite sure from where.

One of them is called App Center and the other is called Game Center, they both have a similar UI

Does anyone know which application could have created these apps?
[Android Apps and Games] WarrGrinn:
"Two apps recently popped up on my phone and I'm not quite sure from where."

Think the easy way to tell is get Lookout Labs ad network detector (playstore).

Scan your phone, it'll tell you which apps have 'permission' to change those types of settings, found an app recently on mine that was installing a search icon on my screen and air-pushing ads. Thing was the app wasn't doing this last week, it suddenly did after an update. Sneaky *******s....

'
[Android Apps and Games] ironlood:
I haven't installed any apps that are malicious. plus I'm well aware of the Air push ads.

What's weird is that the apps don't follow normal spam apps procedures which makes me think a legit app just added them, for instance when I pick an app to install it doesn't take me to a Web browser it takes me directly to the play store.

I'm thinking it's something that Go Dev added to one of there apps
[Android Apps and Games] meanm50:
Carrier update?
[Android Apps and Games] ironlood:
not sure if it's a carrier update... i haven't got any updates for an OTA

but did some investigating and I think that is an app add in for Go Launcher... i exited go Launcher and choose my stock touchwiz launcher and those apps were not in the app drawer
[Android Apps and Games] xriderx66:
I doubt it, but you should ask the GO devs about it.

Does not look like their app.

They usually name their apps GO _______

+

The Game center app icon is from the iPhone, which I know that Go devs wouldn't use, their good with their own icons. Might want to re-check. Are you unable to uninstall them?
[Android Apps and Games] ironlood:
Long press in the app drawer brings up the red x on them to uninstall when I press it I get the message... application cannot be found or is not installed, remove from App drawer?
[Android Apps and Games] dctrbnsttr:
yup...part of the latest go launcher ex update......
[Android Apps and Games] Obagleyfreer:
Yup, I can confirm that.

I have them too after updating Go Launcher Ex
[Android Apps and Games] negrobembon:
I think the devs should have mentioned this instead of having people guessing
[Android Apps and Games] timpohladthomas:
It is GO Launcher EX

The answer is they are extra apps that come with GOLauncher EX...they just added them in a recent update.

Does that help?
[Android Apps and Games] ironlood:
I just wish that somewhere in there change log they would have mentioned something about adding the application's to Go Launcher instead of leaving us in the dark.
[Android Apps and Games] penfold:
i hate to state the obvious but there are much better launchers than go, which long ago, along with go sms, became an overbloated, resource hogging, malware loaded, piece of junk
[Android Apps and Games] webjunky:
i tried prolauncher on my SGS2 but when i install the unlocker the launcher becomes worthless because it crashes every time

I just rooted my GS3, now what? I see other "just rooted" thread out there, but it's not for the Att version. Does it still apply? What I really want to know is how to delete built-in apps, att apps.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] defnow:
Use titanium backup for delete/freeze those built in apps.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tyshemi:
Um apply nunhuggers rooms duh lol
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] crash822:
Do some searching for must have root apps. Once you are feeling more adventurous try out some themes, Kernals, roms. Make sure you read thoroughly before flashing things and definitely back up your imei and learn how to unbrick your phone. having this knowledge will save you a lot of problems.

Also make sure to search and do research before asking questions in threads. People will flame you a lot if you don't search first
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] NewAndro1d:
Appreciate your advise. I actually did search google and youtube, but I see a lot of non-sense video. So i thought I would ask directly to a bunch of pros up here to get an idea of what to search for. Now i will look up back up imei.

thank you
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Tlo218:
Debloat, download free tethering app, search forum for root only apps to use, start reading about ROMS, find more ways to optimize performance, additional customization.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BlueWVU:
Obviously google is your friend, but as far as ROMs go, make sure to read the forums and don't flash anything without making sure it will work on your specific device, that is very important.

Most ROMs will take care of the debloating, deodexing, optimizing for you. From there you can move on to kernels for further fun like overclocking and undervolting. As far as removing built in ATT apps... You can try removing them with a file explorer, but thats really no fun to do at all, and requires far too much work, and doesnt do all the extra background work... Easiest option is finding a debloated ROM that has them all removed.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] NewAndro1d:
So, I flashed it with the wrong ROM, turned my phone to a hard brick. had to send it out to mobiletechvideos to get it fix. I got my phone back yesterday, working again. thanks to MobileTechVideos. well worth the $80. Now I don't know if I should root it again.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] crash822:
Shouldn't have had to send it out. Odin should have fixed your issue by flashing phone back to stock. Rooting is worth it, just make sure to do your research first
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Xdenwarrior:
Alright, with Windows 8 around the corner, was wondering if anyone is working on Win8 arm port for our Galaxy s3's (and im not talking about the international version cause that one got exynos which will never be compatible with windows environment due to lack of drivers and low ram) but our Galaxy S3 runs on same chipset (S4 Plus) that win8 tablets will be running so maybe somone's is planning on port?!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] d3athsd00r:
Nope.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bootloopz:
Anything (almost) is possible. But I highly doubt it. Android on the MS Surface (ARM flavor) is more likely.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zaisaroni:
A future Samsung wp8 phone may be based on the GS3 hardware. That could get wp8 rolling at least.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sabre31:
Won't happen. Android is open source so rom makers can make their roms as they want however windows phone 8 is not. If somebody released a rom if even possible Microsoft would come down on them like a tornado and rightly so.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Kostask11:
he's talking about Windows 8 not WinPhone 8 :D

i had the exact same question.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Driice:
It's possible to have Windows 8 on the s3 I guess, but it's not open source?

Not sure if Microsoft would approve
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] skatin707:
That's the best thing they could do. The SGS3 outsold the iPhone 4s in the US, they could ride that success train easily.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] iTchill:
Dual boot could be nice, like I did with my old I phone 3G when I installed android and iOS in dual boot with bootlace
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] elementaldragon:
I don't recall the GS3 being ARM-based to actually support Windows 8 RT.....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] LordGeek:
Any Microsoft WinCrap software is NOT open source .. so for anyone trying to port that over to our phones would be illegal .. and if someone trys to port Windows 8 RT onto an SGS3 .. it definately WOULD NOT be on XDA.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] timsmooth:
What mobile processor is not Arm based? Razr I's.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Jirv311:
I can't think of a single reason you'd want Windows 8 on your phone anyway.

Besides, getting it to run on any ARM based mobile is about a lot more than just having an ARM based processor.

wow... for someone raging as hard as you are on Microsoft, you should at least check your spelling.

why hate so much? i have 2 surface rt tablets and there is no other mobile OS that can do what i do on them. even though i'll be honest android is better for porn.

Now on op's question windows 8 rt is not going to be possible.

Hey Everyone,

It appears that the MTP Dialog stopped popping up when I plugged in my phone both on Windows 7 (64-bit) and Ubuntu Linux (64-Bit).

It went from working to not working and I haven't been able to isolate the problem. I reinstalled the drivers on my computer along with flashing back to the stock kernal.

I figured it had something to do with Drivers on either end. Such as the Device or my Computer...

Has anyone else received a similar problem and could possible point me to some articles or something?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] blue265:
Did you recently backup your IMEI using qpst ? If so you'll need to turn mtp back on in usbsettings
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Zero12803:
I had never used QPRT but it was related to the QualComm USB settings.

I used the Extension to get into the settings and turn the USB back on.

Thanks for the direction! You're amazing! :)

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] intolaomair:
Going through this forums, its clear this is a wide spread hardware manufacturing defect.

I am just surprised that NO review in the media addressed it.

Rather, most reviews said the build quality was solid for this tablet.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ravynmagi:
Two of my four tablets didn't have any problems with the raise glass or bezel. So I can kinda believe it's possible Google was able to pick units without that issue for the reviewers.

What surprises me more is it sounds like the faded greens/yellows, white saturation, and Tegra 3 Prism video playback issues might be more universal and surprised none of the reviewers mentioned those. *shrug*
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krelvinaz:
Did you actually look? A simple google search see's articles from cnet, pcworld, pcmag, engadget etc... Not to mention there a more than enough posts by users on XDA and other forums talking about it...

I've not had any of those issues so I think it have been overblown, but... It is common for forums to give a off center view of problems since people without problems don't normally login and say something. Most users never use forums.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrkEngineer:
I totally agree, but I have had 3 RMAs so far which seems excessive. Dead spot issues and cross axis issue with first, cross axis issue with second, and cross axis, yellow tint, and screen separation on the third. I actually still have device #2 and #3. Debating if I keep #2 or take another chance and try for #4. The third tablet kind of scared me and made me appreciate what others have been complaining about.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jptech:
I have a third also which creaks. The screen glue failed again, but it hasn't lifted. I'm debating whether to try and fix it myself.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
The fuel gauge used in the gnex max17040 does not support mAh or mA readings. It only reads volt and temp. Other phones from htc use different fuel gauges that output those values, but most Samsung phones do not since they stick with these fuel gauges.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] aeson:
Hey guys! I just got the S3 yesterday coming from the vibrant and wanted to show how the lens work on our phones. I previously had them for my vibrant and wanted to try it out on the S3. Was a little concerned because the back cut out for the camera is a little raised instead of it being flat like the vibrant. The reason for this is because you put a metal ring with adhesive on one side to stick on the phone then attach the magnetic lens which will snap on easily. Later on I decided to remove it and would put it on a case instead which will have a flat back. The adhesive is pretty strong and won't leave any residue on your phone.

Here is the link where I bought it from. You can also check out eBay where they sell them for cheaper (barely found out after purchasing from amazon)

The adhesive ring

Wide and macro

Fisheye

UPDATE

The bench shots are all from the same distance. This is a normal shot without the lens.

Fisheye 8MP

Fisheye 6MP

I usually crop them because I don't like the vignetting. These are the 6MP because it's wider and easier to crop.

Wide 8MP

Wide 6MP (didn't realise the vignetting on the right corners, I didn't align it right. Hopefully when I get my case it will be a lot better)

Normal shot

GS3's macro (this is the closest that I can go to have a focused shot)

Macro lens

Macro fly!

I will attach better fisheye shots that are cropped and better looking. And also I am uploading the videos so they will be up soon.

here is my Instagram if anyone is interested. There are a lot more there so check them out!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] elracing21:
Do these rings lose the adhesive "stick"?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bieberhole69:
The reviews on Amazon don't look too good but I'd be interested in seeing the pictures it takes.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] aeson:
hmm I don't think so I still have it on my vibrant and its been about a year already. I've heard some people using super glue to stick it permanently on their phone cases because the rings they would receive wouldn't last long. It really depends I guess what type of adhesive they use and which set of lens you buy from.

Yea was worried about that too, but the negatives were mostly from iPhone users haha so I don't know what the problem is and I'm satisfied with mine. I'll probably post a video too with all 3 lens if people are interested.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Darmokk:
I can see how having the wide angle could be really helpful for concerts or other places I hate bring my DSLR into....please post sample pics/videos when you can...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] msgnyc:
yeah, majority of negative comments were iP4 users complaining that it blocks out their flash. Shouldn't be a problem at all for GSIII owners since the Lance and flash is more space out.

I'm curious to see some sample photos myself. :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] -FuRBz-:
subd for pics
[Galaxy S III Accessories] .Bambino:
Im really interested in this. I see someone had something similar to this for iP4. Please post some photos. I am a Instagram junkie LOL
[Galaxy S III Accessories] aeson:
lol Yea same here! That's where I found out about it too.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] elracing21:
I like the macro shots. did you have to crop any of those?

I don't like the fish eye as you have to deal with cropping the vignette effect the lens gives. I don't like editing my pics at all. Good shots nonetheless and I'm still debating on getting this. I'm going to hunt and see if I find something better.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] -FuRBz-:
they indeed look good
[Galaxy S III Accessories] aeson:
For the macro I didn't have to crop. I think you can get them individually on eBay instead of the 3 for 1 pack if you just want one lens.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] DarkManX4lf:
The video of the ants are scary enough and then the dog barking lol
[Galaxy S III Accessories] metzalx:
Just to share a little tip:

I've got the wide angle + macro set and the 180-degree fisheye...I stuck the metal ring straight onto the lens of my S3 at first, but the fisheye was too heavy and it fell right off, along with the ring. The amount of surface contact the ring has with the phone just isn't enough to guarantee that you won't lose the ring (or your lenses) sometime later, and neither is the adhesive strong enough.

So what I did was to purchase a really cheap case that I wouldn't mind destroying (I don't know how cheap you guys can get your cases at, but I got mine at S$2...Not online though), and superglued the ring onto the case before reinforcing it further with a piece of masking tape (superglued to the ring as well) at the back (see the attachments). It's been pretty sturdy so far. I'm a little paranoid though, so I avoid taking off the lens perpendicular to the ring at all costs...I slide it off instead :)

EDIT: Forgot to mention earlier, the reason why the superglue has to be there is because most cases for our S3 has the hole for the camera cut too big (blame it on the size and shape of the camera) to stick the metal ring onto the case. Well, at least with the cases I've seen.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] aeson:
Awesome! I just got back from China Town because I bought a cheap TPU case as well and will try this out. I'll post pictures too and see how this goes.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] degeneration:
Trying out an ebay set. Hope it's the same, but it was about half the price, just have to wait for shipping from China.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jnicks510:
i got the exact same set for my Skyrocket and it worked great. the only problem i had was that the adhesive wasn't strong enough. i ended up super glueing the magnet to the phone. the downside to that was that i do a lot of battery pulls so i ended up yanking the magnet off and stopped using the lenses entirely. for $13 i wasn't disappointed. hopefully since all GS3s are the same, someone will make something like the Olloclip for the iPhone.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] txkorm:

[Galaxy S III Accessories] aeson:
Your welcome guys! Can't wait to see some pictures!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] aeson:
I couldn't glue the ring because I was having a very difficult time and didn't want to keep messing up the case with dry superglue. So I went to Lowes and bought some washers that are a bit bigger than the rings and superglued it on my TPU case. I put the lens on and it was a perfect fit! It can even hold my super fisheye lens! lol

The washers I bought are 5/16. I think you can pull it off with 1/4 which is smaller.

My question is, can this be done with other iPhone 4S camera lens?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] aeson:
You're very welcome!

Umm so far the only lens I know that does work on our phones are the magnetic ones since they are universal. Other iPhone lens that i know of like the olloclip or iprolens we can't use. Hope that helps!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] g2uzer:
Lol I did the same thing as soon as I got it a but I think my washer is thicker, I'm thinking of painting mine with some nail polish so it's not as noticeable,

btw, has anyone seen or use a clip on adapter type? I seen some but only for the Iphone

I want to be able to mount it to my Otterbox with out actual glue in on, since my case is under warranty for a year.

washer doesnt stick very well so i did the little mod to make ur battery cover stick higher than the camera and stuck the washer on the back cover instead. i dont remember who posted that mod but if u find it i will edit so u guys can thank him! basically u put electrical tape on the sides of the camera under the batter cover between where the speaker and flash are so that it raises the battery door. im also going to buy some 3M trim adhesive to make it stick better. will update on how that works out
