Hi,

Thanks:D

Flash Any rom based on CM and you will have this feature by default!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] magistrateee:
Is there a way to unlock the phone when running a custom ROM such as CM10? Is it permanent whether or not I flash other or upgraded ROMs in the future?

I am asking all of this knowing my unlock code. I got it from my carrier but when I use the secret GSIII codes along with my unlock code I get an error. I assume its because I am on CM10. Is there a way to do this without putting another SIM in my phone.

I am asking this because I want to verify my unlock before traveling and getting a foreign SIM inserted.

Thank you.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sweetsimplistic:
I've had this issue myself. You must unlock on stock rom or else it won't work.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RobbieL811:
Even if you're on the stock ROM, the code that you type in to get to the unlock prompt won't work. The only way to do it is to insert another carrier's SIM &turn on the phone. It will then prompt you for the unlock code. Type it in and voila.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sweetsimplistic:
Oops the previous poster added info I forgot to add! Stock rom + another carrier's SIM card and you're good to go! The other carrier's SIM doesn't even have to be active or if you don't have another SIM, you can easily pick up a prepaid SIM for about $5-$10.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RobbieL811:
Thanks for adding that.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] magistrateee:
Thanks for the info.

So after unlock flashing ROMs will still have it unlocked right?

Also for my reference, for those in the US, will a T-mobile micro SIM prepaid card that I can buy can be used to verify my unlock on my AT&T Samsung GS3?

Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RobbieL811:
Yeah. Any SIM will verify it. And yes, when it's unlocked, it's unlocked. No matter what ROM you flash, it will be unlocked.

third time is a charm! After two tries it finally worked for me. this time I made sure that I called at a time that it would be hard for me to get a US rep(2:00 AM EST).

This time I got a mexican rep, she was so nice and fast. no questions asked, just the IMEI and 3 minutes later she gave me the code. Also, I am on CM10.0.0 stable and it worked by just putting a alien SIM card and entering the code.

Unlocking ROM'd Captivate?!

So, with your note below you are saying that even with another ROM you can unlock a phone, say the Captivate(i897), by just getting a friendly non-US based AT&T help desk person!?

Thanks!

Hey just wondering if you could explain more on the second part. I got the first part enabled perfectly. Thanks
[Android Software Development] ramdroid77:
what do you exactly mean with "second part"? ;)
[Android Software Development] McJesus15:
If you don't mind root access then you can use Switchme. It's an app that allows user profiles to be created and used. It's fairly stable too.
[Android Software Development] ramdroid77:
I know about Switchme. However this thread is only about Android's native user management.
[Android Software Development] illinoissparks18:
Lol sorry :P I got the user tab to show up. Now i need the lockscreen features :P haha sorry
[Android Software Development] ramdroid77:
Probably you mean this part?

You can only achieve this my compiling from source and migrate the user selection view into the phone layout. The most complicated part is probably to find some free space on the screen :)
[Android Software Development] ArtuCer:
Native multi user support works on Android 4.2 phone

I've got Android 4.2 on my Galaxy Nexus I started to do some research to get multi user support enabled. After some research I figured out this is very simple. It is only two steps from native multi user support on your phone.

1. First of all you need to enable "User" menu in Android settings:

Open build.prop file with any text editor and add line (actually any value > 1 works):

fw.max_users=5

2.Next, to make the icons to switch users visible - change display resolution.

Open build.prop file with any text editor find line with parameter ro.sf.lcd_density and change value from 320 to 192

Save changes what you made just. Reboot your phone and enjoin native multi user support on your phone.
[Android Software Development] ramdroid77:
The different density activates the tablet layout. But your apps and everything changes from phone UI to tablet UI as well, doesn't it?
[Android Software Development] ArtuCer:
Well, it is one more way.
[Android Software Development] ramdroid77:
Yes it's possible, I wrote this in my analysis as well. But for daily use a phone is simply not usable when using the tablet UI.
[Android Software Development] wildgeeza:
I got the multi-users running nicely with Vanilla RootBox and changing the screen density.

Is there no quick way to "hack" the x,y co-ords of the icons? Rather than compiling a full build? I don't mind tinkering, but don't really want to start creating full builds when the Rom I'm using is running nicely without it.

EDIT - solved.

OP, may I ask something?

Is it possible for a third party app (not a system app) to check if there is more than 1 user that uses the device?

if not, would root help?

San Jose CA. Shopping center on story and king. I went to activate my play store nexus 4 and they said they had 4 in stock.
[Nexus 4 General] Prod1702:
I think the website is out of stock or they are for employe's. I bought mine at 3am on the 14th as a employee for $170. Everything right now on our internal site says that employe's will not be able to buy it until after Jan 1st 2013. Most of the time the stores get stock back before the website. So i am sure the stores will start to get more in the coming weeks. For sure the higher volume stores will. You can call Care and see if they can sell you one over the phone but they will not sell one off contract on the phone. Care only deals with contract stuff. You have to buy one in the store if you do not want a contract.

I mean why Android roms for example Cynaogenmode 9 for Samsung cant go also on HTC if im not wrong, but windows can run on all computer.. i just dont understand why ??, I'm just started new flashing roms ecc. I was used to the pc that was so simple.
[General Questions and Answers] aleranol:
Because Windows os support x32 x64 and you can install drivers for your computer. :)
[General Questions and Answers] Tauros360:
I dinnt understand well, butt why they cant do this also on smarphones, for example on the computer you got the Bios and if somthing goes wrong with your OS you can always go to the bios ecc. But why they dont do the same on phones ?

[General Questions and Answers] Tauros360:
Im started new flashing roms ecc. i still dont have much experience, first i thought that the Clockworkmode ecc was a smartphone Bios but then on the internet i read about many people briking phones by flashing wrong roms ecc. when i firs was thinking that you could always recover from Cwm like on the computer Bios but it was'n like this. So i was thinking, why ? there isnt something like a bios on the android phones ? so you can always recover if something goes wrong ?
[General Questions and Answers] russeini:
actually this is an excellent question......whats so hard abt having a mothwrboard that boots up in bios....nad then it allows u to install whatever system u want. after that u get to download drivers for ur hardware from some system driver pool....basically most phones have the closely the same hardware in our days especially when u can make use of sd cards as an external source like dvds nd cds.....the question is why r smartphones os's built in a different way and what stops them from being composed this way? isnt it more logical?
[General Questions and Answers] aleranol:
Cwm=1/2bios. Windows is open for all part combination with drivers. But android or other mobile os are cant support different drivers. Companies select os and other parts and develop correct drivers for parts and os. Mobile devices have special drivers. But pcs are have open for all drivers.

This text hard for me because i m turk.:)
[General Questions and Answers] garbour:
This is a fantastic question! Essentially what has happened over the years is chip makers have designed their hardware around the windows os, and they have been able to do so because the windows os is a boxed software that, for the most part, cannot be changed. The Android os on the other hand is open sourced and can be tweaked 10 ways to Sunday, which is why most of us prefer it over ios or win mobile. The downside (kind of) is that the phones and tablets are specifically designed around the os and the os around the device. So in order to upgrade the os either the manufacturer (Samsung, Motorola etc) has to develop one or one of the brilliant coders out there has to work on developing one from the source code when it is released by Google. Hope this helps. :)

[General Questions and Answers] caha2639:
Great question, Many answers definitely.

Android OS are built around the phones, around specific devices.

For example:

GS3 and Note 2 are built on somewhat the same,

so odds are specific roms are ported to GS3 ( Serenity 1.2)

but GS3 and HTC One X are two totally different companies with two different builds of components so you'd not have a port from a Note 2 to One X.

It's logic once you look into the components of a phone and how they're built VS how computers are built and such.

GPU, CPU, Storage, etc on a PC are all parted,where-as on a phone they're soldiered onto one main board.
[General Questions and Answers] Tauros360:
Now i understand, thanks :) i was thinking it would be possible to build phones with a Bios and basic drivers preinstalled in the motherboard, just to run android, and then from there find the driver updates ecc for its own device. That would be much easier for all of us to flash roms, kernels ecc without the risk of briking divices, and also now a days the smartphones are almost like real computers ecc. I think if you got an HTC + 1.7 Ghz x 4 you wouldn't like stop receiving updates for your stock or custom rom because its still a good piece of hardware, and also even if i would got to pay 20 $ for an Android upgrade i wouldn't mind, i think an something thing like a bios in a phone will give a piece of mind for everyone, and it would be much easier.
[General Questions and Answers] Tauros360:
But for example if HTC,Samsung and all manufacturers . install on there mother board a bios + basic drivers for input output ecc. and to separate Android from it. So you could then have a one Android for all. And devs could focus mainly to the functionality and less to the compatibility. It would be fantastic :thumbup:
[General Questions and Answers] pixelshuck:
As simple answer: Most android devices use a lot of closed source/specification hardware.

Plus locked/partially locked bootloader

In windows (and linux too) kernel there is a lot of closed blobs which work fine on pc because they were precompiled under x86 arch, but there's no use for them on our arm devices.

If we had open specifications and hardware device, we wouldn't have any trouble getting OS in there(that's what china manufacturer do)

As usual - the only issue is copyright.

[General Questions and Answers] potna:
Android and windows have more in common then anyone is letting on.

Wi ndows is closed source some other android is closed. Some of is is open.

Even though most of yours computers have windows dosnt mean that you can take the hard drive from one computer and expect for the Oscar to boot while in another computer. They all have drivers that are gding to be different.

Computers have biOs because of many different reasons. Computers are versatile smartphones are a relatively specialsized piece of equipment.

The question you ask has an answer but I think the same question can be asked aboout the differences between a couch and a chair. Someone just thought of a way to do somthing and it became the standard. Again computers freeway more advanced then smartphones. How many boot devices can you have on a smart phone? MAybe 2. Computers can have many hdds, many optical, many usb devices, many network boots...etc etc

No it doesn't matter. It is alot of closed source stuff in windows. Not to mention MS would C&D anyone that may even try. Even the new windows 8 32 bit pc systems have a locked bootloader so you can't change the OS

Im a little confused because i dont have any experience in how software and hardware runs together even i would like to learn it , all i know is that i cant put an AMD CPU on a Intel compatible motherboard, but an AMD and intel computers can run both on windows, Ubuntu, ecc. So now i understand that almost all Smartphones have diffrent hardware, but they can not all run on a one Android version, but Android needs to be customized to the hardware. Am i wright ? Do you think if manufactures produce there hardware to fit in a one Android version, and devs focus in a one Android version, and also roms could be compatible for all devices, if im not wrong. Because what i sow now is that many devs work more on compatibility, and if it was the other way they could realy focus on the functionality of Roms ecc. I'm still new in this world and i have a lot of things to learn, so im asking you guys, because you know more than me, so i could learn somthing from you.
[General Questions and Answers] pixelshuck:
Biggest problem of mobile devices is lack of good boot "catcher", as in BIOS, whom would allow custom kernel load.

Despite being binary compable(not always), the way android is being started differs.

The best we are getting is unlocked BL, but never open one.

Also, you have mentioned china devices.

On some chinese smartphones fully open bootloader is present, that's why it is possible to launch ubuntu and even windows(on atom tablets).

Open your dialer and type: *#0011#

You should have a menu ready for selection.

Choose #8, then #7 and lastly #2.

Now you will see a list of bands to choose from.

Hey Aussies,

The Galaxy Note II was just recently announced and released in Australia, which means within the next couple of weeks the demand for accessories will increase. There are also many people that have purchased a GN2 online/imported that have nought accessories online.

I just wanted to start this thread for us Aussie GN2 owners so we can share our findings relating to GN2 accessories.

Enjoy!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Dmwitz:
I'm not an Aussie but I thought I'd give all of you a heads up. Get insurance and get a very good case as soon as possible. I had my GN2 10 days. Dropped it once. Sent it away to get the screen replaced. I had to wait three weeks to get it pack and it would have cost me almost $300 (US) if Samsung hadn't been kind and very generous. I paid only $100 :D I don't know if I was just unlucky or if mine came with flawed Gorilla glass. I'm ordering a Otterbox defender as soon as they are available for the GN2 here in Sweden. Untill then it's staying in my late fathers oversized folding leather wallet.

Hey everybody.

I used to flash all sorts of roms on my old galaxy vibrant but I bought a new t989 a few months ago and I want to go to a custom from the stock tmob bloatware infested ICS. I already rooted via odin and installed clockwork recovery, which comes up just fine with the usual volume and power combo so i'm good there.

My question is should I flash my first rom (probably jedi mind trick 5 or x1,or if anyone knows a daily driver ready jelly bean??)

via clockwork mod like on my vibrant? or do I use twrp which I also have via goo manager? I prefer cwm because I am familiar with how to wipe cache, reset and flash with it but I can't figure out why some mods recommend one or the other.

Also,

I keep seeing some roms that come with a radio zip and was wondering if all roms require this or is it just certain roms?

Thanks in advance for any help. I just don't want to wreck my phone the first time. Remember, I've flashed a million times on my vibrant but never on my t989 so any pointers or heads up would be appreciated.
