Thanks for the info. Yes I've been here a while and have tried to keep a low profile as I tinkered with, flashed, modded, compiled code for, and progressed through my devices (TMO Dash (Windows 6.5) - > TMO G1 -> TMO MyTouch4G -> TMO Galaxy S3). Search has definitely been my companion over the years. Thanks again sir. :good:

Is that posible to get iOS in galaxy s3?

Blasphemy
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
No. iOS and Android operate in a whole different way. iOS is also restricted for the hardware it's made for. iOS is also crap.

The closest to iOS you can come on android, however, would be MIUI.
[Galaxy S III General] delsus:
Why the hell would anyone want that archaic POS on our awesome phone? Even if it was possible why would anyone want to????

if you want iOS then do what anyone else would do and buy an iPhone and become one of the many iSheep of the world (isn't it time they were culled anyway?)
[Galaxy S III General] TheCraig:
Why would you want to do that? not 1 aspect of iOS is open source.

Can anyone tell me how to take a screenshot with the RLS MOD Rom? I installed apex launcher as default so I am not sure if I need to reinstall to get back to all those apps or what because there are many of my apps missing that I can see in root explorer. I can not find the option to change the launcher.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chase67:
Actually

Come to think of it the Pop-up browser is missing, the weather widget and other things as well? I am not sure why I can not find any of those things and I am by no means a first time flasher and can and have do pretty much anything on a phone. I relly just dont have time to research it becasue I work so much.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Relentless D:
Setting>Motion> Check Palm swipe to capture then do a palm swipe.

When you go into the app drawer in apex you have three headings up top: Apps, Downloaded and Widgets. The "Apps" heading has everything.

Also go into Apex Settings>Drawer Settings> Hidden apps and make sure something you are looking for isn't hidden.

If you really want to get touchwiz back go into system settings> Application manager> Apex Launcher and hit "clear defaults". Next time you hit the home key it will ask you if you want to use apex or TW.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chase67:
Thanks Relentless

I really appreicate your quick response and if there is anything I might be able to help you with by answering any sort of questions I will do whatever I can to get you an answer.

Do the step by step procedure:

1. Download root explorer application: Root Explorer (File Manager)

2.Open it and allow superuser permissions.

3. Open, /data

4. When in the /data folder press menu key and select New File:

5. Enter the name of the file as local.prop

6. Now touch and hold on local.prop file until a dialogue opens and in the dialogue box select Open With:

7. Now select Text editor:

8. Now enter the names of the apps in the file:

9. Now press menu key and select Save and exit:

Now system will show a message saying 'Old local.prop backed up as local.prop.bak'. And you are done.. Reboot and enjoy! :good:

Well.... is this working :confused:

doomsday coming make your nandroid backup before its too late !
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Filip98:
Local.prop dosent work... Use build.prop ;)

But locking apps in memory(i think ram) will give u peformance boosts and better stability in the app at the cost of ram :/

Which is usefull in devices with 1GB or more ram is usefull ^^ but not on our Y
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] encik_racun:
So, its a stupid idea anyway?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Deleted member 4515662:
Why don't you try yourself and stop whining about it. If it works for your then good, if it doesn't better.

It somewhat worked for me. So I shared.

And I think stupid idea threads sound like this.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Deadly:
Well, saying stupid was wrong.. I agree.. but why you didn't confirm whether it worked or not? And please report to mod if you feel it was wrong than flaming someone..

Also, I wanted to know how it was somewhat worked? I did try it and didn't work... care to explain?:confused:

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Deleted member 4515662:
Used it on hyperion which has its own local.prop

used for default apps (same as shown in the pics)

Restarted the phone. opened those. Checked them in task manager. They are present there

Then "End Task All". Return to launcher.

Then tried opening apps again, and they open in mere fraction of second like they are already open.

Checked Task manager but they are not there. Well that's my part of story.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] kurotsugi:
op just want to share his finding...please don't blame on him. android world is full of myth. its a lil bit difficult for common user to check whether a tweak like this one really working or not. just to make it clear, this trick doesn't work. simply because all rom based on samsung's stock rom doesn't support local.prop stuff. only 'real' custom rom like cm have it. however, as filip has suggested, there's another way to run this trick. you can do it by put the code in build.prop or make a script ini init.d contain

#!/system/bin/sh
setprop <key> <value>

in this way, you'll have the prop after you reboot your device. you can check it by yourself by typing 'getprop' in your terminal.

PS: that's the trick to get the prop stuff. I don't know whether it is really working or not since prop stuff is very easy to be modified and not reliable for tweaking. you can even make your own prop. you can type 'setprop my.cat.is_so_cute 1' in your terminal and you'll see this prop in your prop list when you type 'getprop'. the only way to test whether this trick is working or not is by test it by yourself.

if you found this trick is not working you can try this one. create a script in init.d contain

#!/system/bin/sh
PPID=$(pidof <app_name>);
echo "-20" > /proc/$PPID/oom_adj;
renice -20 $PPID;

# for an example
PPID=$(pidof com.my_cat.is_cute);
echo "-20" > /proc/$PPID/oom_adj;
renice -20 $PPID;

# you need to make sure that the app is running before running this script. after you run the app, type 'su -c sh /etc/init.d/<the script name>' in your terminal

@OP: I appologize since my comment makes you looks bad. I don't know it will be turned like this. sorry
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Deadly:
Kuro.. I have tried op's suggestion and the original thread suggestions.. which didn't work..

I mean the one you gave for init.d

Script.. but I will try the build.prop and see how it goes..

Also on side note... any idea how to hide 3rd party launcher showing up in task manager? I have tried some methods.. but nothing worked so far... feels like there is no such option..:(

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] baconatorXVI:
Hey guys I'm sorry to dig this issue up... But it's driving me and my GF nuts!

I've read all over the internet that people are having trouble sending, viewing, and loading text messages. This was for stock software un rooted. She has the same problem

I'm posting for my GF who is far away with a stock unrooted att vivid.... I am limited on what i can do since i don't have the phone on hand.

I don't want to make this any trouble, i'm just reporting that wiping cache for the app(can't clear data on a system app apparently) didn't help, a factory reset didn't fix it either, I'm having her check her apn settings(i know it's for data, i just want to check everything). Hers is ATT PTA. since i don't have the original APN idk what is correct.

I've tried just about everything i know to do...

I don't think she really wants to return her phone. I've read people tried new sim cards with no luck.

I'm out of ideas...

Edit: I'm a samsung galaxy S captivate and galaxy S3 guy, i've never dealt with an HTC
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] positiveg:
I think the issue you might be having with the text comes from the fact that the settings from cell provider might not be in there. I experience this and that's because there's a cell number used to identify your phone on your providers network, you might even be able to get text but never be able to send,

If you can take your phone in and let the guys enter this info, or if you can call and let them give you the number.

I hope this helps

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Virtuososteve:
Lets face it, this last year and the one coming have been and are going to be full of new technological advancements. Powerful quad-core processors, smaller longer lasting and cheaper batteries, 1080p screens and much more. With the coming of "unbreakable screens" from samsung with super HD displays, better processors and battery is it worth it to buy the Nexus 4 now knowing that in 4-6 months time those new products will be out?

Yes we all know that once you buy a device its essentially already outdated but I believe that in this case 6 months from now, the Nexus 4 will be more than outdated but using old technology.

As far as software goes I am an Android Purest so I love 100% AOSP and hate touchwiz, and sense etc...

What do you guys think?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gohan040:
Get the next nexus next year...... problem solved

a pigeon delivered this message.... ##your welcome##
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] checkride:
What are you going to say when 6 months rolls around with new specs in a phone? You could say that exact same thing: wait another 6 months for better specs. It's best to just buy it now because you'll be waiting forever.

The nexus 4 will probably be supported by Google for several years.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Josh98:
- Processors are always getting better, no different here

- 1080p screens, nice but not really essential, esp if Nexus 4's is 'Retina' anyway.

- Battery wise - if that is true that's a big deal but I'm skeptical. As long as I can last a day happily I'm ok.

- 'Unbreakable screens'. Great, that's big change too but how unbreakable will they be?

I don't think this is much different compared to any other time, you've also missed LTE which also don't think is too big of deal.

People tend buy new phones every few years so even if that's true it's not the end of the world. Also, whatever comes along won't be sub £300 either... ;)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ketjr81:
Yeah, it will be outdated but I don't think it will be a huge difference. The N4 is great, I'll worry about a new phone in a year or two, not four to six months later.

I think in this case new technology is unveiled earlier in the year, so the N4 comes out first and newer stuff is coming out right around the corner.

Hey, after searching for about an hour, i could not find something on this topic. I recently rooted my E4GT on 4.0.4 and i'm currently still on the version. I also installed AGAT's Recovery through Mobile Odin. Just wondering how i would go about installing a theme on my phone, so i can get that Google Nexus look on it. Thank you all for your help in advance, and sorry if this question is already out there somewhere. :(

Either you install an aosp rom. Like cm aosp aokp there are others too. Or you can decompile a bunch of stuff change a whole mess of things and recompile.

So, for CM i can just use my AGAT, i dont have to go back to el26? and just wipe cache and delv cache, then factory reset?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
If it was me I'd personally flash el26 with mobile Odin then flash an aosp based rom, CM9/10, AOKP, ParanoidAndroid, PACman, KingKang and stock AOSP by sbrissen all have the basics of vanilla android appearance some have more customization options than others tho which make them appear slightly different. Sbrissens AOSP JB and times_infinity ICS AOSP are pure vanilla android like a stock nexus, CM9/10 are ICS and JB respectively and look stock but have some customization added as well as theme manager for apk based themes. AOKP has a little more options for customization over CM, ParanoidAndroid is basically hybrid tablet/phablet/phone version of CM and KingKang and PACman are hybrid versions of AOKP with a few extras added in but the main customization is similar to AOKP with Per App Density hybrid mode to allow for a fully functional tablet, phablet or phone layout

Ok, and one more thing, since im on 4.0.4 ICS, When i flash el26 i wont be able to boot up right? So i should just go straight to revocery, and flash the rom, correct?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Yeah, if you ttry to boot to the rom it will just boot loop. When it reboots just hold volume+ with power to boot straight to recovery, if you mistime it and it starts looping just pull the battery and then boot to recovery via hardware buttons

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] chdpiyush:
hi,

m kinda new to android phones.have been using iphone since 2007......very much expert with jailbreaking.....never bricked any iphone....coz u can always restore if anything goes wrong.

now i got a At&t one x and its on 4.0.4 with software version 2.20...i want to upgrade to jelly bean so i was looking through this forum....but i went through many post in which people have bricked their phones permanently....

now i want to root and install custom rom but m scared if i can brick my one x.....

can anyone tell possible reasons for bricking...and bricked phones can be unbricked???

sorry if this is repost but help will be appreciated....

thanks

Piyush
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] superchilpil:
You can brick by flashing clockworkmod recovery or flashing a ROM from the other one x

Stay in this forum, do tons of research, and then do more research to know the difference from these two phones so you don't brick it
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
The most common reason is flashing something meant for the international (Tegra3) One X. The hardware is completely different, and the memory partitioning is different. If you flash something meant for the international One X it may overwrite the hboot partition, meaning you are pretty much done.

There have been some people that have unbricked from this condition by fixing the partitions using a Linux coputer. But its not simple or a sure thing. There is a thread about it in General, if you are curious.

Otherwise, just stick to things in the AT&T One X specific forum. Read up, and follow instructions carefully, and you will not brick.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Deleted member 3452239:
Technically, if it doesn't overwrite the hboot, you are done

Sent from my HTC One X-
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
I believe that with 2.20, it overwrites the extended partition table, not hboot, but that's almost as bad since it means the CPU can't find the OS.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Ok, good to know. The moral of the story is that flashing a ROM, recovery, or other mods meant for the international version may overwrite something cirtical in memory due to the different partitioning, that causes you to be fooked.

Don't flash anything meant for the international version, and you don't need to worry about it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] InflatedTitan:
Reason you've never bricked an iPhone is because you can't really change the way it boots or operates.. There's 1 type of firmware that's compatable with only iphones and nothing else. On android your changing the entire operation system that is not monitored or regulated.. If you install an operating system for a totally different phone, it'll render it useless.. Apple ensures you this will never happen with them lol. Therefore they lock it down
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
Well, not exactly. The jailbreak process is a change in how the phone boots, and it de-sandboxes the apps, which is an operational change. But it's not on the same level of a custom rom.

It is true you can't make major firmware changes with iTunes, but there are other methods of screwing around with the firmware, if you know what you're doing. It's just that this is beyond the abilities of anyone but jailbreak devs, so you don't hear about average users bricking their iPhones with redsn0w or Cydia.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mazz0310:
Hey guys,

Not sure if this would be helpful to anyone but I created a script for Mac/Linux that installs some of the mods. There is no way to undo the changes, and I have only done limited testing so YMMV.

I am not liable for anything that happens to your device.

With terminal just cd to the folder and do ./note2.script

The mods I have added so far are:

1) Google Wallet (I still haven't had any success)

2) All apps in MultiWindow

3) Wifi Icon in statusbar + black statusbar

4) 4.2 Camera/Gallery

V2. I have added a Windows batch as well as the Linux script

V3. Fixed some bugs, and added the 4.2 Camera/Gallery

http://www.filedropper.com/notescripts1

PS. Thanks to all those that created the mods. I did not create any, only put into a simple script.

This is actually useful, good job! Could probably do something like this to make/restore backups.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nuke072786:
Does this work in windows?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mazz0310:
No I haven''t written one for Windows yet. I've been thinking about it but just haven't had the time. Was going to see what the feedback was with the Linux one first.

The Windows one should be very easy to write to mimick this one, you just have to change the directory paths and stuff.

EDIT: I am working on this now.. shouldn't take too long.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JonMS:
You need to include the command to make system rw or else it has to be done manually
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mazz0310:
Shoot.... I had that originally and deleted it. I have finished Windows. I will add that to both and re-upload.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] georgepink:
So my tale of woe is below...shortened for those of us with short attention spans:

-I bought my device on 11/29

-root came out via: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2024207 a few days later, rooted with 0 problems

-a thread got started about wallet getting up and running here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2031127 (I tried this to the letter and ultimately soft bricked my device)

-with help, I was able to odin back to a rooted device

-used this script to setup wallet and it did NOT work, HOWEVER, using this and then going back to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2031127 to use the fix, I think, did. I have added all my cards and am ready to make a purchase, which I will do tomorrow.

So to sum up, don't give up and be creative, if someone says they got it working and you didn't explore more and try to mesh multiple approaches where it fits. I'm only posting this to A. give thanks to those that got this working, and B. give others hope :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] techgov8:
How do I go about using the one for wallet?

Tap'n
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] georgepink:
I'm not the expert here, but I'll give this a stab, make sure you have ADB setup, download this script and run it. If you get wallet to run, but then close or just keep spinning, trying to run, go to the other wallet thread in this forum and use the fix on page 1. that's what worked for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JonMS:
Check like 27 in note2.sh

adb shell "su -c 'mount -o rw,remount /system'"
if [ "$input" = "1" ]; then
walletzip=NoteII-lib_nfc-fix-r87
walletloc=/sdcard/Note2Scripts/Wallet
copytoloc=/system

adb shell "mkdir -p $walletloc"
adb shell "mkdir -p $copytoloc/app"
adb shell "mkdir -p $copytoloc/lib"
adb shell "mkdir -p $copytoloc/lib/hw"
>	adb shell "mkdir -p $copytoloc//etc"
adb push $walletzip $walletloc

You have an extra forward slash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mazz0310:
Thank you for that. I will fix that, also I have added the 4.2 gallery so I will upload that shortly. Also I am going to remove Nfc.apk and NfcTest.apk from the wallet script as I have heard they are not needed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mazz0310:
I uploaded a newer version.
