[Asus Transformer TF700] spinaldex:
Just a question, but after I got over the whole "OMG NO START BUTTON", I've actually begun to like the OS. I also like the hardware and design of my TF700, a lot more than the slate tablets with the funky cover keyboards. Would it be possible to port Windows 8 to the TF700? I've seen people offer money to help interest developers, is that something that would be of interest? I'm not going to pay $500, I could buy a slate tablet for that, but I would consider tossing up to $100 in to the mix. Maybe others would too?

Thanks in advance for keeping this a *civil* discussion! =)
[Asus Transformer TF700] killerdan56:
Does not go in this section

This is the development section. That doesnt go here. Should move it to the general section or something
[Asus Transformer TF700] xcal321:
So basically you're looking for this. Since Windows is not open source, there is no legal way to "port" it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] spinaldex:
Microsoft has to approve the hardware that you are allowed to install their Operating System on? Couldn't a developer purchase a copy of Windows 8, port it, produce drivers to make it function, and then basically produce the installation process, methodology, drivers, etc and then the community could purchase their own products and go from there? I don't see how that would be illegal.

Also, the Vivo is a step down from the TF700. Lower resolution. The chassis flexes. It runs RT vs 8. See this review:

http://www.theverge.com/2012/10/23/3536302/asus-vivo-tab-rt-review

The TF700 is the same price, but a much better hardware platform. It would be a nice solution for those wanting an option. Also, considering you can get Windows 8 for $15 right now, it would be a friendly option for developers at the moment =)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Firebrazer:
Search the forum. This question or "idea" has popped up several times.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
You cannot purchase the source code of Windows 8 for porting it. And it's pointless anyway, Microsoft already did it, called it Windows RT, and decided to sell it only preinstalled on hardware.

Who wants to develop apps for Windows 8, and what has this to do with the TF700?
[Asus Transformer TF700] azsde:
Reverse engineering is no help here ?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
That would be a project exceeding 1000 man years. Forget it. And it would be still illegal.

Am I missing where these things are?

QSlide and Dual Screen Dual Play
[AT&T LG Optimus G] bigworm50:
okay so youtube just showed me that qslide button pops up when you are watching a video that is local on the phone...
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Zackhery:
For youtube you have to watch in browser. Not Chrome or youtube app.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] weisborg:
What they don't tell you (Samsung included, and they don't even have it all yet until updated) is for all these features it is usually local apps/video. The semi-transparent video isn't that great and popup would have been better. I disabled the popup SMS stuff too as it seemed to double my notifications and didn't go away when read in the standard app or notification.

The only thing I got to see/use on my Note 2 when I had it was Popup Browser which I actually thought was more useful than all the other stuff. I thought the LGOG was supposed to have more popup stuff than SMS, but I haven't seen it yet. Popup Browser would be great.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] g4m8i7:
I know the US version of the Note 2 got severely crippled when it comes to multi tasking. I wonder if the same happened with the LGOG.

Same Question

Im also interested inknowing the answer to this question. Thanks in advance!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] testrider:
I am on my 5th charge on my Laza 3800 mAh extended battery (and case) and they are a perfect fit. I never calibrated it and it's fine. With the stock OEM battery, I have to recharge it around noon everyday and now it last easily a day or 2. The only thing is that even though it claimed to have NFC but it did not seem to work, but I don't use it anyway.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] computingwarren:
So I wanted to add a new line for $10 a month and get the Note 2. Apparently that doesn't work on that plan. Only unlimited data plan. I wasn't about to pay $30 a month for a flip phone so i asked nicely and they gave me an upgrade early. Was supposed to be march. YMMV but it may work for you all also on shared data and no upgrade.

I decided to get the RAZR MAXX HD until next week, that way i'll exchange and only pay restocking fee. Needed something now since my Gnex is crapping on me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lambo172:
So they let you upgrade 4 months in advance? They won't even let me upgrade 1 month in advance...

Sent from my SCH-I535
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kimdoocheol:
I don't think this applies to my family plan. I have unlimited data, my sister has a shared data plan, and my two parents have no data. We pay $30 for her data, $30 for mine, + $10/line for all our lines + our base plan. We can add another line np for $10 and add a dummy phone. There is no extra charge for data, I don't think, for adding a line and using a shared data package...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] computingwarren:
Like i said, guess it works only on Family plans or plans with unlimited data.

Shared data it does not. They wanted $30 a month for a flip phone. That's a joke! lol

and for Lambo, call corporate. Be nice and talk to them. I'm sure they'd love to help you like they did for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kimdoocheol:
There was nothing about family plans in op just data packages. Unless you go back and ninja edit.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrlaigle:
Unless you have a tablet with built in Verizon. Then you can add a line then change it to the +10 $ a month tablet line
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nutpn:
tablet line

Can this work

I have a family plan with 2 smartphones with unlimited data, 2 regular flip phones and my daughters is 2 gb a month, on the 2 unlimited I have a upgrade,,..

what Im wanting to do is have my 2 upgrades swapped to my regular flip phones and take those flip phones with new upgrades and upgrade both to 2 note2,,..

then when I get them home, swap them to my unlimited data lines, and keep my unlimited data -is this possible?- also all this is thru verizons call in site, thanks for helping in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xXJay_RXx:
I got a family plan. Can I go into the store, add another line, activate the note 2 onto my line, activate a dumb phone on the new line n still keep my unlimited data?

Or I got an upgrade. Can I swap my upgrade to one of the lines that has tiered data n still keep my unlimited?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JetBlue:
Pretty sure if you upgrade the tiered one then activate the Note on there then deactivate it then activate it on the unlimited you'll be fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xXJay_RXx:
But I got an upgrade on mine that's unlimited. The tiered line doesn't have an upgrade until 2013. Can I transfer my upgrade to the tiered line to get the note at a cheaper price instead of full price?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kimdoocheol:
I don't think so. Someone else here got an early upgrade and said vzw told them whenever you utilize the jpgrade, even if it was a xfer, they will knock you onto a shared plan.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xXJay_RXx:
Yea that's what Verizon told me when I called them. I got my answers from them. Thanks for any help guys
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nutpn:
yes

Yes you can swap upgrades- my neighbor had a upgrade on a unlimited device in her family plan and swapped the upgrade to her sons flip phone, then she bought a smartphone on the flip phone line and when she got home she switched the smartphone to her unlimited line and kept flip phone on the upgraded line, so yes you can. so she answered my question I had posted earlier.

she said be sure and watch all your other upgrade dates because sometimes the line that had the original upgrade will change dates too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kimdoocheol:
This doesn't mean unlimited was retained. VZW has done some pretty shady stuff with switching people's service due to upgrades/abuse of network. Maybe this was also in the past when they didn't care so much that people had unlimited data, but now they will practically do anything to push you off o fit.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Admiral2145:
Looks like I'll be on craigslist buying my note 2..what do y'all think is a fair price 500?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kimdoocheol:
400-450
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] IamPro:
That seems kind of low for a phone that costs $300 with an upgrade, no?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kimdoocheol:
I think most will price it at 500. That being said, some people will try to undercut IMO around 450-475 to sell it faster than the people who sell it at 500. Offer around 400-425 and I'm sure you can find someone if you have cash in hand and will pick it up that day. I personally am not payin much more than that for a phone on Craigslist unless we meet at a store, they upgrade get the n2, and I get the box brand new in hand. Otherwise i may as well pay the extra 200 myself and for sure not get stabbed and or robbed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DROID3R:
Fot those who swapp upgrades make sure you activate the phone first on the upgraded line then and only then ypu can switch it to your unlimited line without any issues

iSheep... iSheep... Meowww that's Apple
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Samzebian:
what would happen if you didn't do that?

I got my dad a 6 month early upgrade and used it to order the note ii

i never per-se activated the device though, i just bypassed the activation screen by hitting the bottom two corners and then volume down, played with the phone for a bit, then after my gs3 copied all of my data off the phone to my sd cars, i popped my sim card in and voila, it worked!

did i do something wrong, i don't want to lose unlimited
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Crussader:
While preparing JB Style for XXLSJ I've seen that we needed a proper VRTheme templatefor the new partitions ( /preload ) in our new systems. This will probably change in the future as Samsung releases the final version... but meanwhile... you can use this template to build mods.

No need to replace the entire SystemUI for battery images. This is not my work, I just simply adapted the original template.

i tried using it but went into boot loop..

all system\app files including systemui.apk which were before in systems\apps will be now in preload\symlink\system\app ??

or will the systemui.apk reside somewhere else ??

and the folders with the modified pngs will be named like systemui.apk ?? with the the extension ??

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Crussader:
exactly... in deodexed ROMs they're located in there ( preload\symlink\system\app ). If I recall correctly, in odexed ( stock fro sammobile source ) they're still on system/app.... check where they are before patching using a root file manager.

you have to recreate the folder structure of the file you're trying to mod

SystemUI.apk / res / drawable-hdpi ( for example )

Check one of my mods to see what I mean
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] xinfinityoO:
i did as what you have said ..but boot loop :( ..will check the systemui.apk location and try again

thanks
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Crussader:
are you using .9.png files? They must be compiled before so you can use them
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] k4bbe:
Is that so? I never knew that :cool:

So quick question... If I change the hue of. 9 image I can't drop straight into an apk? It has to be recompiled 1st? If that's the case, that explains a lot. Thanks for the heads up on this. Every time I did this previously the image got distorted so i gave up touching them and just changed normal pngs.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
I used to use Podkicker (free) and might again. I don't like that it saves files in a proprietary format though. Also, it didn't find some podcasts it should have, or rather it found them but for some reason couldn't do anything to load/play them.

What podcast apps do you guys like? Are there any that use mp3 files when you download the podcast?
[HTC Rezound] DontPushButtons:
I use beyondpod occasionally. Works for what I want. Not sure about the save format though.
[HTC Rezound] Andrewb19:
I've tried most all except doggcatcher (since it has no trial and its expensive) and all my experiences have been pretty bad. And I just came from where using downcast was the best thing in the world. The only decent one is podkicker unfortunately. If something works better for you, let me know, I'm very interested
[HTC Rezound] lithium630:
I use doggcatcher daily. It's not the prettiest but it is extremely customizable. .
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
What type of audio files does it download?
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
BeyondPod for me. It downloads everything in original format, and the pro version can be set up with schedules and automatic syncing. The free version works fine (scheduled syncs and other pro features), and has a pro trial option.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Trying this one out. I like that this one saves as mp3. :good:

Also, I got a pop up that this is going to be on sale from 11/23- I think the 27th for $1.99, I think I saw that the regular price was $6.99 so I'll probably pay for pro at the sale price.
[HTC Rezound] Izeltokatl:
I like listening at a faster speed. Used to do that on my clix. Really helped get through a full days downloads in half the time.

[HTC Rezound] zourn:
I use BeyondPod and I love it.

It purchased the pro upgrade about a year ago. There are a lot of options to customize as you need it. It is a pain to change the download location though. As stated earlier, it downloads the podcasts in their original format. I actually switched to BeyondPod when one of my podcasts that requires a username/password wouldn't work on the podcast apps I tried, and it worked on BeyondPod.

It does support podcast playback at different speeds, but does it through a third-party app called Presto ($4.99). The 5 bucks isn't worth it to me to give it a shot, so I don't know how well it works.

PS - In the BeyondPod settings, push the menu softkey to bring up the option to get to advanced settings.

Hello every one.

And I am sorry if my question was asked before, but I couldn't find any proper answer to it.

Generally I had the international version of the galaxy SIII and the Samsung keyboard that comes with it supports far so many languages than the American version that comes with t-mobile.

Is there a way to port the international version keyboard to the t999.

I tried to remove the current apk of the keyboard with titanium backup and install the apk for the international version but it say apk not installed, I don't know if there is any further steps that I need to do.

And please I am not interested in any other keyboard suggestion.

Since no keyboard on the market can match the Samsung keyboard in style and function in my opinion.

I appreciate what ever contribution you many present and thank you all.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bfranklin1986:
You should just be able to copy the apk to/system/app using a root explorer

did you succeed in doing so?

can you elaborate on the proccess (which files did you replace? what other stuff did you do?)

I would recommend installing it as a regular apk file by just tapping on it in a file explorer and letting the installer install it.

---------- Post added at 01:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:22 AM ----------

Looks like like you are trying to manually install it via package manager. You have to copy and paste the physical apk to the /system/app directory.

copy the apk and paste it in root explorer and fix the permissions.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 1moreCyberdude:
I had this exact same problem. I grabbed a new cable, tried my gf's cable from her tf101 and nothing seemed to work. I updated the firmware to ICS hoping that fixed it and notta, then updated to JB and that bricked my tablet. Prior to all that I couldn't get my pc to recognize my tablet. After I RMA'd it and received it back guess what - it worked :)

Whatever they did on their end fixed it. The only thing slated on the receipt was reinstalling the OS so there was no hardware replacement. I'm thinking that a full wipe and install might do the trick if it happens to me in the future, if this is what they do in their facility.

Hope that helps :)
