I remember one of the xda members pointed out to me a long time before on how to make any game controller work on my Note (not remember where or when).

I still have that link saved so i decided to post it here.

Credits to the website and the app developer and the xda member who showed me (ill post his name if i see it again)

The tutorial in this link says SGS3 but it also w9rks on Note :)

Don't know if anyone has experienced this but my power button has become very hard to press. It takes a considerable more pressure to depress. My fear is that with the extra effort I am damaging it more.

If anyone has experienced this feedback is appreciated.

hello ..

any one an idea about win 8 requirments ?

and why its not available for current mobiles ???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mountainjoe:
I updated cm 10 nightly 3 days ago and after a day, noticed when I opened the browser or chrome and hit menu either on screen or menu button, phone instantly locks up. Tried reinstalling previous, newer, and older nightly but had same problem. Totally uninstalled and formatted phone. Reinstalled cm10 to a previous version and have same problem. WTF. Any suggestions?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kennypow3rs:
Yeah here's a suggestion: it happens to me and plenty others, my suggestion is to run CM9.1 until CM10 is actually STABLE and not experimental. There's going to be bugs man.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ChronoReverse:
Two solutions.

1) Check, Disable HW Overlays in Developer Options under Settings. Unfortunately, you'll need to do this every reboot so it's not a great solution.

2) In build.prop, set debug.composition.type=gpu and debug.mdpcomp.maxlayer=2

This slightly reduces smoothness but survives a reboot.

3) the 9-21 nightly supposedly fixes this and I'm going to test it now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kefs:
unfortunately, 9/21 build does not fix this.. i did dirty flash, however.

build.prop settings above DO work..

i used the build.prop editor here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.bwulfert.buildpropedit

via http://www.xda-developers.com/android/edit-your-build-prop-the-easy-way-with-buildprop-editor/

on a side note.. any idea where i can view official nightly changelogs for quincyatt?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ChronoReverse:
9-21 does fix it for me but I flashed clean.

is wp8 will support VPN ... ???
[Windows 8 General] slimdizzy:
Yes. I use VPN on my Win8 PC and the test tablet at my work. PPTP/SSTP/ICMP all work.

Haven't tried OpenVPN but should work no issues.
[Windows 8 General] esberlat:
I use Shrew VPN....is free and support .pcf files
[Windows 8 General] galtom:
SInce I use HideIPVPN as my provider I have checked their Windows software yesaterday under W8 Release Preview.

Worked (desktop mode only) exactly as in Win 7.

Log in, choose server from you package - connect.

Netflix and Hulu worked without any problems under Chrome both in Modern UI and Desktop mode (tested only PPTP VPNprotocol but I do not see a reason for L2TP or SSTP not to work).

So, nor problems with VPN and Win 8.

This means I only need VPN on WP8 system as well + Market Enabler (as in Android) and it Christmas for me :)
[Windows 8 General] SPIDER-7:
+Hey guys :)

What about Hotspot Shield App !?!?
[Windows 8 General] galtom:
I dont see any reason why it should not work.

I can test it over the weekend when I reconnect HDD with W8 onboard ;)
[Windows 8 General] rangers:
HSS works.. but not for the metro apps.
[Windows 8 General] galtom:
Because HSS only works for browsers as far as I know.

This is why I use VPN - all traffic, regardless of program creating it is directed to VPN server.

This means that I can use Spotify in Poland or watch Netflix on my iPad :).

I have checked with W8 and both Chrome and IE in Modern UI mode use VPN as well (they got no choice).

I have read yesterday that WP8 will not support VPN but Secure SSL to access company servers - does any one know it this protocol can be used to change IP of a device? I suppose VPN servers would have to have additional software active to support this kind of connection...

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] bbmadzky:
I have this problem now since the other day. I can seem to install not all the apps I want to install from Play Store. For example, I can install Titanium Backup but not Solid Explorer Beta. I can perfectly browse the internet through my phone though. Why is this?

Had tried clearing cache and data of Google Play Store and Google Services but still no avail. Tried inputting account details from the Play Store directly but still the same problem. I finally I had done a clean install of CM9b1 with no any extra tweaks nor mods added but sadly problem is still there.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Eddicts:
LOL mate,chill..Too many questions there that i can't really answer it lol.Ok,I am creating my first custom rom here.And i just copy and paste in the system/app directory then i repacked the cm9 based rom and flashed to my phone to test it and the play store crash.What could be wrong here?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] dollyaja:
Just install googleplay.apk from outsource ,works. :beer:
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] dhewaghost:
hope this will help

It cause by the google play have a strict policy on collecting info about every detail information regarding phone we use to make sure every app we download will 90% compatible with our phone. Every single phone already been registered on google play database

such as:

1. Phone model

2. Procesor

3. Ram

4. Kernel

5. Stock rom

So when we change rom, google play doesnt recognise our device anymore because on google play database our phone doesnt exist.

As example:

Goggle play data:

1. Samsung galaxy w:

a). Stock rom; gingger beard 2.3.6

We change the rom as follow:

2. Samsung galaxy w:

a). Stock Rom: Cm9 mod

As mention above google play not knowledge our phone anymore that's why it'll reject our request to download or update app. Bcause on google play database samsung galaxy w rom should be gingger beard not a cm9 mod

Like i said above to make google play work again we somehow have to make our Cm9 rom to be recognise by google play.

And all the tips i say above maybe somehow make google play think my cm9 rom are gingger beard 2.3.6 with lil modification that google play still tolerate it.

Have u try my tips above?

Or u can try install google play from out sources. But whatever the cases its a very complicated system.

See the global picture "U must make ur phone as similiar as the Base phone model, so google play can recognise it"
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] dhewaghost:
though one to accomplished

1. Very nice job mate. To repackaged n built ur own.

2. Its very hard task to do mate:

a). U must have a complete knowledge on how cm9 been built (which is i'm sure, its very complicated things)

a.1). To actualy gain it. You must comunicate with the builder in this case arco68.

a.2). After u got the knowledge then u must re-code the program (google play) behaviour in order to make it able to run on cm9.

3. Without those above. I dont think it can be done. Because google is a system on rom base. It cant stand alone like others app. U can't just put it on system n hopes it'll works. U must make it united with the system first.

Hope this could answered your question
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] dhewaghost:
thanks

Thank you very much for the info bro. But it'll be better if u can give a link to download it or info on how to install it. So we can actualy try it.

Once again thank you very much

i Install this APK of goolge play, but everytime when i try o use the app, he's crash

someone know what i can do ?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] dhewaghost:
No need to Worry

Its easy mate, see bellow:

A) What ROM do u use?

a.1). If Stock Rom. Just do factory data reset. But make sure u do back up data first. Since all data will lost.

a.2). If CM9 Rom, do have any back up data before u install d google app? If any just restore it via CWM recovery

a.3). If CM9 rom not have nandroid back up. Im very sorry u need to re-flash CM9. Wipe cache/Wipe dalvik cache/Wipe batere/Fix permision/install CM9/Instalk Gapps.zip. there i bet ur google play will run smooth as ever. And if u still can't downloaded app via gplay. I suggest u can follow my tips above, if still not do. Try emptying ur apn proxy n port. Or deleted ur gplay account then re-add it.

You can do it easily if you install a kernel with included CWM (Savies Kernel Rev 73)

You can find an option Format ext or sd-ext or 2nd partition there, it only works with CWM included kernels, sd-ext doesnt seem to mount with madteam/skin (the one thats flashable CWM)

bro any link??? tutorial about creating EXT using phone only!!
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] Kousthubha Kumar:
You got CWM for that, if you are asking about creating, you dont need an inbuilt one, just flash cwm by madteam(or skin) via stock recovery, go to advanced-> partition sd card-> Give sizes -> Wait till its complete -> Partition done

For formatting ONLY sd-ext or for formatting sd-ext without losing sd card contents you need an inbuilt CWM..it can be done also with terminal emulator, but Im not sure about that..
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] harigavara:
thnks for detail.n wat do u mean by inbuilt cwm?

Yes, Along with Merruk, Savies Kernel Rev 73 got that one, its the best imo in performance..

Hello everyone :)

I recently created a developer account on Google play to add the Android Apps of Droid Manager to Google Play.

What's Ironic is I cannot download my app from Google Play, it says: Not available in your country !!

While I have set it available in all available countries (Check attachment below)

If any one has an app on Google play can you please guide me on how to fix that issue!?

Me too.. This was my post:

Rooted and flashes my HTC Wildfire Buzz (A3333) to CM. Now I'm a persistent aircrack-ng user on linux platform and I know it's possible to get custom made drivers from a blog somewhere on working for some Broadcast chipsets. My phone has a Qualcomm MSM7225 / ARM1136EJ-S chipset and thus not compatible.

I've been thinking to get an external USB adapter to get monitor anyway. Now before buying it, I wanted to hear you guys out to ask if my phone will recognize it as a genuine adapter without installing any further drivers.. Also would the phone have enough battery output to supply both the phone and adapter. Last, I wanted to ask some of you that already own one to give me some tips on the "better" external usb adapters, which ones do I pick?

Thanks in advance

[EVO 4G General] SquireSCA:
Just moved from an HTC Rezound to the EVO 4G. My Nexus 7 and Rezound are rooted running custom ROM's, the Rezound was S-Off.

New EVO 4G though, I would like to keep close to stock for warranty purposes. All I really need is wifi tether to work so I can give occasional internet access to my tablet. With VZW, I averaged 2-3gb a month max, between the phone and tablet combined. So my data usage is not heavy, but I do need to tether from time to time.

I searched and found several apps for tethering a laptop through a USB cable, but that won't work for the tablet.

So is there a simple and effective wifi tether app that I can sideload to the phone, even if there is a cost for the app? Or do I have to root to get the standard Google Wifi Tether app? If I have to root, I don't think I need S-Off and all sorts of stuff that could cause a warranty issue in the future. Whatever the absolute minimum required to get Wifi Tether will suffice.

Thanks!
[EVO 4G General] dsf3g:
I've heard you can tether via bluetooth with FoxFi, but I've never tried it myself. If all you want is to surf the web on your tablet that may be enough for you.

If you try it do let me know how it went.
[EVO 4G General] SquireSCA:
The latest ota breaks foxfi. I think that root is my only option. What's the simplest method? I don't need s-off or custom Roms, just root for tethering.

Here you go. It's the HTCdev method (assuming you're on Hboot 2.18) which will give you an unlocked bootloader and root.

Hey XDA,

Before it has booted, i had to take battery out/in like 10 times. WTF? Sometimes bootlogo appeared but no quick vibrate that happens when you turn it on, sometimes no 2th vibrate (when you want to go to recovery), sometimes it rebooted after 5minutes of waiting. And because i want ICS but not dead phone with need to pull/push the battery, im asking here.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danfedida:
Hello helpful people. I'd like to start by saying I've been rooting and playing with roms for a few years now (all HTCs) and although I've never posted a question before, all your generosity toward other folks with problems has always saved my bacon also. So thanks. However my girlfriend switched from HTC to a GS3 i9300 and have had... challenges... getting CM9 or CM10 nightlies to work 100%. All have been sorted now bar just one niggling problem. The Wifi.

When trying to connect to wifi it will see all APs, let you type in the password but will not finish connecting. The status says Saved but will not actually connect. Using stock or ARHD this is not a problem. Now my research got me to a stage where I can manually initialise the wifi by typing the following in to the terminal (or through adb):

echo murata > /data/.cid.info

chown system /data/.cid.info

chgrp wifi /data/.cid.info

chmod 0660 /data/.cid.info

Restarting the wifi afterwards fixes the problem until the phone is rebooted. I don't really understand what this means or what it does and the fellow who posted this fix simply put that, with no explanation or followup.

Now I know everyone's feelings on doing the research before asking the collective and I feel I've now reached a dead end in my search. So all I'm asking is if someone can at least point me in the right direction of what to look into? Why this could be happening and where to go from here. Of course if someone does know about a permanent fix I'd be grateful to hear it!

Thanks in advance. Thanks for reading.
