Thank you.

I ended up reinstalling from scratch from Odin.

I lost everything in the process because I had no backups yet. Right now it's working. I will not rename that damn file ever again!

Is there a way to backup the whole installation so you don't lose everything?? I will read more the next time before touching the phone.

Cheers!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jason2678:
There is an adb full backup method. I've never used it myself, and I've not heard good things about it either.

Best backup method is to install a custom recovery like TWRP and use it for backup/restore purposes. It could have saved you from setting up from scratch.

Assuming you're using an i747/i747m there's really no reason left not to run TWRP instead of the stock recovery, unless you just don't want to tinker with it. The bootloaders were never locked, and Samsung has abandoned the device so there will never be another OTA you need to be on stock recovery to take. Might as well have the extra functionality TWRP gives you over stock.

The peissions on my build.prop file we're 600 after edit, changed to 644 and it worked again with mods in place.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bhamou:
Old thread, still this helpful tutorial saved my personal data from a full wipe.

Just a word to say thanks for this clear and helpful tutorial, worked like a charm on my n910f / 6.01 MM

:good:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pbcsd:
Any idea if this same guide would work on a Galaxy S6 with the same issue?

The adb.exe file doesn't seem to exist anymore, seems to be a 1.5gb Android Studio application now?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jason2678:
It should work if you can push a good build.prop for your phone and set the permissions right. There's not anything device specific about this fix.

You don't need to set up the whole android SDK if all you need is adb. Try this.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pbcsd:
Perfect, will have a look. I should be able to simply remove the two lines I added to the build.prop, presumably anyhow, and then see if that gets me back to being able to power on.

Curious, I assume reflashing firmware doesn't overwrite the build.prop file at all?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jason2678:
Dirty flashing your rom again should fix any build.prop errors or permissions problems without totally wiping your phone, if that is an option.

Odin flashing a full firmware package should fix it too, but that would wipe everything so you have to start from scratch and maybe lose some data. The point of the method in this thread is to avoid that.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pbcsd:
Thx, not concerned with data, nothing on the phone currently. I did reflash ODIN on it several times (not sure what a dirty flash is ... :), but keep getting that same issue where the screen just goes black after it starts to boot up.

Another posted in my main thread suggested this "Flash stock rom with Odin or just do emergency software recovery from SmartSwitch. When phone try to reboot, force turn off (10 sec press power button) and then enter recovery (vol up+power+home) and wipe data.

This should do it."

... just haven't had a chance to try it yet.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pbcsd:
Tried the reflashing Odin thing and then wiping data, phone is still not booting up.

So tried this using the adb tool:

"Boot phone into recovery.

Use cmd.exe (Use Windows key+R, and type cmd in the run window) to navigate to the folder containing adb.

E.g. "cd c:\Users\Josh\Downloads\adb"

Run "adb shell"

This should initiate a shell to the phone allowing you to run commands on the phone. If you get an error, make sure you have the drivers loaded for your phone.

Run "cd /system"

Run "chmod 644 build.prop"

Optional: Run "ls -l" and make sure that the permissions on build.prop show RW-R--R--.

Reboot phone."

But it keeps saying "no such file or directory". I know the file is there as I can search it in Windows explorer when my phone is connected and in recovery mode.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] adazem009:
Thanks!! It worked.

And I thought that it was because of encoding of build.prop

If it says "error: device not found" it is because your recovery doesn't support ADB shell or your device is not connected to your PC.

Some recovery modes only allow ADB sideload and don't allow ADB shell. I recommend TWRP for it...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kunnusingh:
Oh.

Thank you sooooooooooo much.

My phne was starting with blank screen because of I directly restored build.prop file then I saw your thread and as per instructions, I ran chmod 644 on my build.prop file and my phone started normally.

Has anyone tried this method on android TV box?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DAGr8:
I have been wondering for a while , how many % of the users in here use aosp based roms (like aokp cm9/10 etc ) and the rest of them using TW based roms , is there a decent percentage of SGS3 owners interested of having the tabletui running on there tw based rom .. or not .

if anyone wonders how tw tablet ui looks you can have a look at screenshots allover the web from the newest tablet from samsung ..

of course without a device in hand its pretty hard for me to do this , not only i know i can do this but I would if i had one thats for sure .

im very happy with my note and do I do not intend on switching phone anytime soon, still under contract for 2 + years makes it pretty ridiculous for me to buy a 600 + deving phone .

So lets not get carried away here (ie trolls keep out) , all i m asking here is, is there need for this type of mod on this device ?

if so then we can start looking into how to make this work .
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lpsi2000:
Sounds very interesting but I am going to get Note II soon and that will be my primary device going forward. A month+ ago when the specs for the LTE Galaxy Note II was not available, I would have been interested...:D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] G-Man.:
I personally have no interest in a tablet UI on my GS3 - however, I know there are surely some folks out there who would jump at the chance! What would be the advantage of a tablet UI on a 4.8" screen?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TBayTom:
I personally don't see the need for tablet mode on the GS3. The screen is just too small to put it to good use. The Note is a different story however.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] juanchy4:
coming from a GNOte... and specially from one of ur Roms DAGr8 i would love to have a TW Tablet mode :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kschumake83:
I just started playing around with paranoid android and I do like the tablet mode for the workspace with the back and home buttons on the bottom bar with the notifications, I dont have to reach as far to hit the back button. If I could have something similar but with all the bells and whistles of touchwiz I would be in.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] smartguy044:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] thebz1:
Any chance you could make King Kang for our device? I wanted to try to make something like it myself but wasn't sure where to start
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DAGr8:
sure all is possible... one thing at a time tho
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] evodon84:
Never was a big fan of TW on the GS2 although I must say it's much nicer on the GS3. I always end up using a different launcher anyways if I stay on a TW rom. I usually prefer PA for the tablet UI and AOKP for certain other features. Your KingKang looks pretty sweet, maybe you could bring that over?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] wase4711:
thats good to hear; I've been worried that you abandoned AOKP for us Note owners!! :o:o
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] theROMinator:
To be honest dude, ive been yearning for a tablet UI TW ROM. I've seen your ROM on the note and it's very nice.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lazarat:
Screen too small for tablet mode but oh boy i loved your work for the gnote 1! In 1 month your rom had endless features. Still gotta find a dev here that works at ur pace!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pfd278:
Came from the Note myself, and was a big fan of your work. I would live to see a tablet ui for the note.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Kougrakub:
Bump. I'm looking for this too.

EDIT:

I did a bit of researching, and I couldn't find anything. In my opinion your best option is installing a ParanoidAndroid ROM (based off CM10 or AOKP depending on which you like) and then a TouchWiz theme.

You should be able to find a ParanoidAndroid ROM in your device's thread.

Here's the link to the TouchWiz theme: http://www.mrmad.net/mrmaddon-jellywiz-edition-fur-galaxy-nexus-2208, scroll down and download the "TouchWiz Jelly Bean Addon 1.3.3" and flash in CWM.

Until someone releases REAL TouchWiz tablet UI, this is all we got.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] luc.highwalker:
Is use paranoidkangdroid, a mashup between aokp and paranoidandroid. And I personally love having a tablet ui. Especially apps like Gmail and YouTube are much better in tablet mode. It would be interesting to try out a tw tablet ui for this phone, as I do miss some of the touch wiz features. Like the camera and s beam. I would definitely download it if you were to make one :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CrusherJoe:
I would love a tablet UI for the S3, especially if I have the option of moving between phone UI (even TW) and tablet UI...that would be sweet.

First off, this is NOT my work. So thank the boys in the razr forums for this which is where I believe it first came from.

This is the latest Razr M camera app. Complete with with face detection.

Dont need to push apk, just install it. I tested it on my S2 T-989 with CM9, TW, JB roms and it works.

On JB Slim rom causes bad screen. I also tested it on my Sensation and it worked with any roms. So this app is for any phone and rom out there.

Only bug I found is that Panorama makes the app FC.

Thanks for the replies everyone

Hi Guys,

Thanks for all the replies everyone. My galaxy note tab sounds fine in normal situations, but in really noisy environments it hardly audible. So i dont think there is any problem with the device. I installed the equalizer app and the volume has definitely become louder though it reduces the audio quality.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fasst:
Does anyone on these sound boost apps works on JB?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demandarin:
Volume+ works great on JB. I have it installed on my Nexus 7 running the latest build of JB. Which is 4.1.2. Also have it installed on my note. Volume already sounded loud but I wanted it a little bit louder. Works great and didn't decrease the sound quality at all for me.

Another tip, if you don't want to use an 3rd party app, is to go into music player. Then open up settings. It has different sound profiles you can change to make it sound better to your liking. I keep it on auto for me.

Dear forum members!

Maybe I'll ask a stupid question now. Today an Interesting thing happened with me when I was chatting on my galaxy nexus by imo messenger. Maybe because of allowed automatic screen orienation, but my keyboard "went wrong".... However I liked this very much :))) I already tried to make it happen again, but without success.

I experienced the following (bug): When I used the stock JB keyboard, its size was shrink vertically maybe 1 - 1,5cm... The buttons size was the normal, but the space betwen almost nothing. My question is about this... Is someone knows any way to make the keyboard size smaller? My fingers are not so big and was very comfortable to use this "layout"... beside I saw much more from the screen content... I already tried to download some third party keyboard app but I didn't see any option to make its size smaller. My phone is already rooted, and I interested in any solution that make my keyboard a little smaller :) Is someone has any idea? :)

ps.: sorry for my english :confused:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dannejanne:
lol your build.prop is screwed. You changed DPI for the whole system which it couldn't handle obviously (120 is very low). The only right way to change the DPI is in my opinion with the Paranoid Android rom we all have mentioned.

Not sure how to fix it. Guess someone else can chim in with an answer.

Hi All

I am new to the forums, and I am looking to find out if there is out there ANY android text/code editor that supports text folding (this means to be able to expand/collapse section of the code by pressing a button so it makes it much more readable)

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] bhundven:
That sucks. Did you try taking the battery out and letting it sit in a bowl of rice? The battery may be toast but there is some hope for the phone. You might try a new battery before you call it dead.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Jax184:
You gotta do a lot more than just let it sit in rice for awhile. You need to take the entire phone apart and flush it with clean water, then place the pieces somewhere warm to dry for a few hours. Ideally you use compressed air to blow the water off first.

Even then, a full immersion probably means you'd need a new screen. Screens are made up of a bunch of layers of delicate diffusers that are easily damaged simply by touching them. I wouldn't try to repair a water damaged LCD.

Still you could probably revive the mainboard, permitting it to be used to fix a hard bricked phone, or allowing you to get any important data off of it.
