[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ali5anDro31:
Hi ,

i'm having some problems with my Galaxy S3 - I9300

my baby brother keeps turning my phone off .. :mad:

i use a pin code for the lock screen. but that doesnt stop anyone from holding the power button then turning the phone off

is there anyway to disable this menu in lockscreen

also it makes anyone capable of enabling silent mode or airplane mode and i dot want that..

is there any third party lock screens that would disable this menu ...

i really need help !!

thnxx in advance...

I too would like to know if that is possible :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anbech:
Ive found out that its possible to disable the WAKE function for the power button. This will disable the power menu, but you can still hold the button down for like 6sec and it will shutdown... :-\
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryaninja:
No way

Sorry to revive a dead thread, but I want to be able to wake/sleep my phone with the power button, but don't want anyone to be able to access airplane mode or turn the phone off. I have a HTC Desire S, and when that's locked, the power button does absolutely nothing except switch the screen on, which is what I want to happen. As the S3 currently functions this is a maor issue for me, because if anyone finds/steals my phone, there is nothing turning on Airplane mode immediately, at which point my phone becomes unrecoverable.

This seems like a limitation/oversight of touchwiz, is there no way at all I can get the S3 to behave like the Desire?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
It's not like there's something stopping them from turning it off (hold the button, it's wired in the hw, impossible to disable) or simply taking out the sim card
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryaninja:
It's wired into the hardware? Are you sure about that? The power button on my HTC does absolutely nothing if you press the power button (for any length of time) while the phone is locked. In my opinion it would be software that controls the function of the button.

You make a good point about the sim though - that an the battery being removed would stop me from finding it.

However the main thing I'd like to disable is the airplane mode function from the lockscreen as it literally takes no time at all to do. At least the other methods require a little bit more effort, and the scum that steal phones aren't usually known for their intelligence, so I can always cling to the hope they won't think about taking the back off (since so many phones nowadays have inaccessible guts) to remove the battery or sim, at least not immediately.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awaeraas:
Is there anyone who can help with this?

I don't think it's any more difficult to steal the phone by diabling the powerbutton functions, but I would still really like to find a way of disabling this function. Although it's meant as an easy way to enter reboot, shutdown and turning on/off misc functions, I don't mind unlocking the phone to do the same things through the slidedown menu.

I just don't like the fact that the phone actually can be turned off by holding a button down for x-amount of seconds, or even open up a menu that lets anyone change the status of the phone. When it's locked it is locked to prevent accidental changes when the phone is in my pocket AND to prevent people from accessing any options, unless they pull the battery and boot to download or recovery.

The powerbutton and the home menu should be allowed to wake the phone up, so that you can read widgets/missed events/the time or whatever, but never let anyone do anything before they enter the correct pattern/password or whatever security is enabled.

Hope that this can be fixed. Been searchin around for weeks after this and would really like to see someone assist us with this issue.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Its a build not a fix wait for SGS4 and see if its been added .

Personally if i had to enter pinlocks as you suggest i would not want this phone .

Development sometimes putting up a large bounty or donating a SGS3 may kick start a modification .

It's not there, which is linked to from a sticky thread Endeavor ROM Collection in the dev section. Might be worth asking in that thread.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] weeo:
Hi,

Ive just recently bought a Galaxy Note to my collection and I cant wait to start devving for it. But before I change ROMS I wanted to make something for thay everyone can benefit from. So I made a TouchWiz5 UI for the Note which will be featuring in my ROM but for now its for every ROM. This tutorial will give you the SIII launcher, a few apps such as SVOICE and even the Lockscreen. You will need to download some paid applications so beware to buy from the PlayStore or searching the APK on Google would easily do to :D​

TUTORIAL -

What you will need:

A ICS Device (Root preffered)

Some money on your PlayStore or time to Google APKS

The .zips in the download section

Widget locker 2.2.7 from here

Galaxy S3 livewallpaper 1.4 from here

Icon changer from here

Proceedure

- PLEASE MAKE SURE ITEMS ARE ON SD CARD! -

- First of flash either TouchwizUX-1.4-Note-5x5.zip or TouchwizUX-1.4-Note-5x6.zip < Preffered for Galaxy Note users

Non rooted users please take the APK from the .zip but YOU WILL NOT HAVE THE WEATHER WIDGET unlesss you install them seperately

- Install all the APKS such as Widgetlocker, Livewallpaper and SVOICE. Some maybe needed to be pushed to system/app this can be found on there thread (Galaxy Note users will have to delete VoiceTalk from system/app before installing SVOICE)

- Download IconChanger (we need it later)

- Open widgetlocker and delete existing locks and edit the clock so it has transparent background and delete where it say widgetlocker

- Add a new slider but first apply this theme here

- Add those sliders and fill rest of screen except the lowest layer, we need to add the shortcuts. Remember to edit th eright slider to unlock too. It can be hard as its invisible

- Add the 4 shortcuts of your choise and hold down to edit them and change icons by navigating to the S3 icons and replacing to the correct one

- Go to widget locker settings and untick the shortcut text. We are now done with WL! YAY WE HAVE S3 LOCK!

- Set your shortcuts on your homescreen and then open IconChanger. Edit the icons by changing the icon picture to the S3 icons. Remember to change the dock too.

Set the WATERLWP as homescreen and done

Hopefully your screen should end up like mine and if you need help just :D a 'thanks' would be nice :D

This is actually the Jelly Bean easter egg, although I didn't know that you could create a shortcut to it. If you go to Settings -> About Tablet, and then keep tapping the Android Version, you'll end up with a big jelly bean, and if you hold your finger on it, you'll end up in this bean bag.

Hallo, I am a flash addict, yes I admit :p

the problem is that every rom I "test" have pros and cons,

so I'm wandering, how can I make one of mine?

not from sources (just yet) but lets say take an original aosp or samsung

and add different apks and patches

I tried to delete / replace apks like email, callendar etc in a running rom

and most of the times I get FC and non working apps.

Any help of what to read and how to start would be much appreciated!

and who knows, maybe in some time you test my releases :p

Find a ROM which lets you cook your own version.

And learn to edit things like the build.prop and system files.

Yes, any suggestion of where to start readind?

Tutorials?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
I like your interest in developing your own ROM.

As a beginner, you will have to start with android kitchen, it makes ROM development a breeze.

Visit here to learn more: xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1227549

Most of the Rom developers started with, some are even still using kitchen to cook their own Roms.

Try compiling from source. Using the ROM kitchen is not really development. Problem is it does everything for you so you won't learn everything.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
I disagree with you.

I started with ROM kitchen, then started modding, then theming and now I can compile from source.

Everybody has got to start from somewhere.

Moreso, if you read his post well, he clearly said, "how can I make one of mine? not from sources (just yet) but lets say take an original aosp or Samsung"

One step at a time bro, that's the way to proper development in life.

Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CdTDroiD:
More like cooking than developing ;) but yea you are right everyone must start from somewhere, nothing wrong with modding stock ROMs to make them better. That's the whole aim I guess. It is very easy to download the source and its much easier to understand the code before its compiled for someone who has no experience with Java or anything.

Maybe extract the system and boot from a stock Samsung ROM and go from there as above.

OK here is my issue. My phone thought it was still charging but it wasn't, so my phone was running when it should be dead. I didn't realize it at the time and I turned it off and took he battery out.

Got home and popped it back in charged my phone for a few min. Then it turned on.

The first thing that I noticed was that my wallpaper got screwed up(LWP) So I fixed it. Thought that was the end.

Then I go to gallery and I notice that my pictures are GONE.

I go into root explore and I see that my pictures are still there in my phone. They just won't show in the gallery app.

So is there a way I can hook the photos back up to gallery????
