[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] theadb:
I've been on CM nightmares for a long time. Need a bit more stability though.

Is there a stock-based ROM that uses the AOSP apps (ie messaging etc.)?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mest22:
your using tasks rom ... should be good .. whats the issue ?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ryang:
I believe he's looking for a TW rom that has AOSP apps. As far as I have been seeing, the framework is different so that can't be ported as easily.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] theadb:
Correct - That's what I'm looking for.

There was a thread that had all the AOSP apks that you could copy to system, but I thought there might be a ROM in existence that already did the process and maintained it.

No worries - I'll flash back to stock and see how long I last.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mest22:
I'm sure there is some kinda hybrid out there just check out the development threads ...
[Windows 8 General] netham45:
How are you running this on your surface?
[Windows 8 General] peterdn:
I've not tried windowsrtc's code, but I've managed to run a basic Win32 executable (unmodified Visual Studio 2012 Win32 project template) using the technique described in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1944675. I can believe that the above code (with GDI calls commented out) would also run.

windowsrtc:

1) You can compile Win32 code for ARM by following the instructions here: http://stackoverflow.com/a/12347035/394331, then setting output platform to ARM in configuration manager.

2) You can generate a .lib from a .dll using the technique described here: http://adrianhenke.wordpress.com/2008/12/05/create-lib-file-from-dll/. I tried doing this for a couple of dlls (namely comdlg32 and comctl32), and managed to get the resulting code to compile, however the application would then fail to run. Manually trying to load these with LoadLibrary would also fail, so I assume this is due to the very low privilege level of the application.
[Windows 8 General] netham45:
I'm fairly sure that apps started with that method don't have permission to open forms. I couldn't get them to do anything.
[Windows 8 General] peterdn:
This is just a template Win32 project compiled with VS2012 running using that technique: http://i.imgur.com/04W5d.png

I don't think I did anything special, but I can upload the solution if you want to take a look.
[Windows 8 General] netham45:
I stand corrected. I wasn't able to get it to launch MS apps with forums in them (mstsc, notepad), so I assumed they didn't work.

Edit: Did you have to give the program any special permissions?

Edit 2: A blank Win32 project opens, but things like Notepad don't, odd.
[Windows 8 General] windowsrtc:
app1 opens a cmd shell,and then I launch my exe.Thats all.

My exe shows a window and there is a textbox on it.
[Windows 8 General] peterdn:
Even notepad uses dependencies beyond user32.dll and kernel32.dll, and so under that privilege level simply won't be allowed.

Thanks for the support, man. I got into porting because of you and enjoyed it. I'll be taking a seat back and waiting for bhundven to finish his masterpiece.

I have never offered to build source from the ground up. My computer is mid-range and cannot handle the load of running virtual box with Ubuntu. I did this for myself and decided to share my discoveries. There are those that don't appreciate what I'm doing so I'll be leaving the custom roms to bhundven.

Anyway....it was great while it lasted.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Sam1Cohen:
I have a rooted stock Sprint S3 and just today after deleting emails I have a -1 count where it usually shows unread email in the stock mail app. I can't get it to go away. If I get new email then the count changes to the correct count but as soon as I delete them the -1 shows back up. I tried clearing the cache on the email app and rebooted (and removed battery/rebooted). Any ideas?

Thanks

Sam
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] The Root:
Try clearing app data in the Exchange apk.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Sam1Cohen:
Thanks, I looked at the only exchange process lsited in all apps and the clear cache and clear data button are grey so it looks like there is nothing there to clear. Is this somethig I do somewhere else, and if so where?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GiantJay:
You have a email from a long time ago probably. Change the sync to something like 200 days instead of 30. Then delete the old email.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Sam1Cohen:
I have it set to all (I tried 200 just to be sure) and still the same thing, I have only had hte phone for about 1.5 months so there can't be too much old in there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Sam1Cohen:
I deleted the account and re-added it and the message is gone for now. Hopefully it will stay away.

Thanks for the help.

Sam
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GiantJay:
It doesn't matter how old the phone is it is a email. If it comes back try 300 or 400 days.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Sam1Cohen:
I am having this issue again, I was able to clear it last time by deleting the email account and re-adding it.

The issue isn't an email count that is still showing up from old emails but it is showing -1 for the email count (see picture).

Any ideas on how to clear this without deleting the account and re-adding it?

i searched for India ics and got this post.. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1936931&highlight=india+ics

it seems you have to factory reset your phone and try.. Im on the asia retail leak and rooting by this method worked fine for me.. but i dunno if it works on the OTA ics update.

Just a small pointer, all the questions in the Q&A forum..
[Motorola Atrix 2] shayantan:
thankyou very much i followed and rooted my phone it always asks for superuser acess wat is that plz telll....

and in case i need to unroot my phone then wat shood i dooo plz be kind enough and tell me this last thing...............
[Motorola Atrix 2] anikadam:
for all the apps that require root, superuser will ask for your permission to grant the app root access (its like the authority for root access ;) ). Its needed and it just asks once for each app.. Unless you select to ask for the permission everytime you turn on that particular app.

The way to unroot is fxz back to GB or ICS (FXZing to GB is possible from the Indian(AsiaRetail) OTA ICS update)

Check this link to know a general idea about fxz..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] GaresTaylan:
Hey everyone. After receiving my VZW Galaxy Note II, my wife decided that she wants to upgrade to it as well. We placed the order for her device and we received it last night. Upon going to activate it I was receiving a no SIM error. I took the back plate off to check the SIM and the card was inserted backward, with the gold contacts facing up instead of down.

I popped the sim card out using the push in spring to release it. It came out smoothly, no force necessary. Upon pulling the card out, one of the pins is completely broken off in the tray. So I contacted Verizon.

Multiple calls later, multiple trips into a local store - I am told Verizon is washing their hands of it and we need to call Samsung to have it repaired. Is this for real? Does anyone know if the cards are inserted from Verizon or from Samsung? Why would a simple mistake like this not be covered by the worry free guarantee?

Does anyone have any suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
the sim never comes preinstalled so that makes no sense to me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Speedy Gonzalez:
yep the sim never comes pre installed but any way if you have asurion claim accidental damage and pay $100 is better than a $699 ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] GaresTaylan:
I had the customer service rep on the phone tell me the same thing, which caught me off guard. At my work, every 4G device we purchase wether its an Android or an iPhone - its

always

preinstalled.

The card was also damaged a bit too, because it only is supposed to go in one way. So it was inserted and then forced in.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dawei213:
They shouldn't have to pay for it if it's Verizon's fault. The sim is installed by Verizon or which ever 3rd party you have purchased from.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Speedy Gonzalez:
if it was from a 3rd party store then yes you right but I been verizon customer for 6 years and since the first 4g phone I have received never never had the sim pre installed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jiwengang:
Fight to return the phone.

Make complains to Verizon. It is not Samsung's fault.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
The question is who installed the SIM card.

If Verizon did, they owe you a new phone/SIM/whatever it takes to resolve the issue.

If You did, then you could try to get a new SIM and see if it works. If not... you're beat?

It sucks but it is what it is.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tdetroit:
The SIM was pre-installed in my GN2....as well as my DNA. Caught the Verizon Clerk off-guard because she took out new cards from her drawer. I think new Verizon 4G phones (going forward) have their SIM cards already installed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mozes316:
Pre-installed SIM Cards

I work at a Verizon store, and I can clear up the confusiuon about SIM cards being pre-installed. iPhone 5, Motorola Droid Razr/Maxx HD, and the Droid DNA all come in with pre-installed SIM cards. Where as none of the Samsung phones on Verizon do, well not yet anyway.

So, I just came by to let you guys know that it does happen, just not always.

:silly:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DJ1994:
Mine was pre installed Verizon opened the box yanked the phone out installed the sim then shipped the phone my way
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tw33:
Mine also came pre installed on my GN2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bosgarage57:
Could you not return it (within your 14 day period) and get another one....Claim you wanted another color????? My vzw rep installed my sd card and sim card right in front of me, you would think he would make you do it to keep safe for this exact reason.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] GaresTaylan:
I thought about this as well. However, the last thing I want to do is it get sent back and then Verizon charges me retail cost for a phone that is defective - which is what the rep on the phone said would happen. Thats why I would "have to go to Samsung."

I contacted our Verizon rep that handles our account at work to see if he could intervene and help out a bit. He doesnt think he can do much either, but will look into it. Such a cluster, I'm livid with Verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sebastianraven:
If you bought the phone from an authorized retailer, they are responsible to fix the damage. Buying if through a corporate store, I would've denied this happening at all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] LordRalh3:
Makes no sense, if it's defective it should be replaced
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mi7chy:
My Best Buy bought Note II came without a SIM. Obviously, the Verizon retards f'd up and they need to be held accountable instead of passing the blame to Samsung. Talk to Verizon corporate and file a BBB complaint.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
Just got my 2 new GN2's today and neither of them had the SIM card installed in the phone. Pulled them out of the boxing brand new, had to cut the SIM card from the little credit card sized holder, and install them myself.

Was slightly embarrassing as I am used to simply clicking it in easily and when I was on the phone with Verizon activating them, I had to put the cards in and was having a really hard time doing so. You really have to click these things in deep on the Note 2 for them to be fully inserted. I had read this thread prior to getting my Note 2's so I was extra cautious in this situation. Had them put in gold contacts face down, the nipped corner on the left side, and just kept pressure on it until it finally clicked in place.

I could see why some people had problems doing it, especially if you compound that tightness issue with installing the card improperly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] P2o8wer:
Verizon is hiring a bunch of new people for the holidays and they dont know sh#t about sh#t. The girl could even get the back plate of the note 2 off..she finally did and inserted my sim card right out of my s3, she even asked me for my sd card. They should be fully responsiable for their mistake.

From what I gather, this phone was ordered online therefore it rules out the people in-store.

I'm on a government account and ALL of our LTE devices have the SIMS installed when we receive them. I usually have to take the SIM out to swap my line in.

Not only wasn't there a sim in thephone, there wasn't even one in the box.

She never even took the phone out of the box.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nadcicle:
Business phones almost always have a sim pre installed. It kind of pissed me off cause there have been times where I can tell some things are taken from my package or left out either by accident or on purpose. My gs3 didn't come with headphones, but had a sim pre installed.

That's why I flipped out when I open my note2 and no headphones. Expensive ass phone and no headphones.. Seriously? I traded them for a magnetic butt plug? Lol I felt like an idiot after reading package contents.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nrfitchett4:
I would keep fighting with them. Tell them to cancel the upgrade and you will just return the device. If they say they are going to charge your card, call your CC company and tell them you lost your card and need a replacement. If they charge your account, go to another carrier. I can't believe they are going to this extreme.

Maybe have the manager of the local corp verizon store come to this thread and show him that many people are getting sim cards pre-installed on their note 2's.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kimdoocheol:
This is bad.

My advice, return the phone at another retailer and don't say a word. Buy the Note 2 again, and profit.

If this doesn't work, try to return the phone or call your credit card company and do a chargeback.

or if you used AmEx to buy the card, use hteir free insurance to get a new phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] oo3:
Sorry to hear that. Ordered my Note 2 through Verizon's site the day it came out and the SIM was not pre-installed. It was still in it's package and I just called Verizon to activate it, then put it in my Note 2 myself. I would definitely try to fight it. Good luck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] smalltownbird:
