Creating a launcher is pretty easy all you need to do is create an android application with an intent for a launcher and now it's a launcher. The hard part is in creating all the live tiles and making them customizable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] remf4i:
Is there a link?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eman3316@optonline.net:
If you want a WP8 launcher there is already one in the market that is pretty cool. Another big update is suppose to come shortly for it as well...

looking for the tot file for a Rogers E971 so i can LGNPST back to stock

currently in a bootloop atm

i have tried the KDZ way to un brick but that hasnt worked
[LG Optimus G (International)] jonnyg1097:
I suppose a factory rom file hasnt been made yet that could be used to flash the stock rom back to the phone if needed to be brought into rogers?

when the devices rebooted by itslelf i had to make sure it had to go into download mode again to finish the last part of the kdz flash, i believe thats what made the difference for me
[LG Optimus G (International)] brownsmell:
I dont think it is possible to find the rootable KDZ for the e971 anymore. All links to D are dead. The only one you can get is the locked version E with no known exploit.

There is a tot file available for rogers but it is a 4hr download, very slow website. The tot file should be flashable with LGNPST and give the same result, afaik.
[LG Optimus G (International)] BloodBaron:
I have the d kdz, not sure how I would re upload it tho

no signup needed, it keeps the file as long as ppl still download it

i will upload it sometime today and add the link in my helper thread, this should help people with newer phones flash cm10.1 aokp etc

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dawei213:
Ok, short story... i had a Note II from best buy which I returned then waited for Note II from Walmart. Have that one now.

Question is, when I had the Note II from Best buy, in the Settings > Data Usage screen, I was able to see both mobile and wifi usage. The one from Walmart, I cannot for the life of me, figure out why it's not being displayed or if there's something I'm have set. I can't remember where the setting was.

What do I have to do to see it?

TIA.

[Nokia Lumia 900] tc862011:
i just bought a lumia 900 and while i am waiting for it to get here i was curious. i have had androids and apples and have rooted and jailbroken them to fit what i need. is there an equvelent to that with these windows phones, is it as necessary as the androids and iphones. what can i change with this phone as in 'jailbreakin' if i wanted to. what kinda process is it.
[Nokia Lumia 900] exiva:
At the moment (and quite possibly ever) there is no "root" or jailbreak for the Lumia 900. All you can do at the moment to sideload some xap's (not ones that require root.) is signup for a developer account. Free through dreamspark with a .edu email, or 99/yr.

You honestly aren't missing much though.

TO RESUME: i need dumy instructions for upgrading my version of galaxy s...

sorry if my english isnt quite good... and THANKS
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] James Bottomtooth III:
You're welcome

This should be a good starting point....

I can't post the link but Google "root xxjvq" and click on the first link. You might need to upgrade to 2.3.4 first, in which case you can click the link on that page for that tutorial.

Follow each step and by the end you should have recovery installed. Once you have recovery, everything else is a walk in the park. All you need from then on is to download a custom ROM (I highly recommend you go for SlimBean) put it on your phone's sd card and flash it through recovery WHILE FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS from the SlimRoms website. Google "slimroms."

Happy rooting!

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lamajstro:
Hi there,

I would like to start coding for WP8 - however, there are no books yet. That is why I just installed VS Express 2012 for Windows Phone and try to make a flashlight app which just has one button that switches on or off the led of my Lumia 920. I know how to make button, but I don't find any code that shows how to use the flashlight...

Can you please help me...?
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Useless guy:
For managing the flashlight use the camera api, I think.

There is no book for WP8 yet (or not? :) ), but you can easliy teach on the WP7.5, because it's a subset of WP8 API. For the rest use MSDN or even the Object Browser.

I was just sitting watching Oz on my Xbox 360 in my bedroom & I was going thru the images on my galaxy when all of a sudden the picture I was viewing on my fone appeared on my 42" tv which freaked me out totally. Can anyone tell me how this happened pls. I know I hit the tv player button in the top RH corner on my fone but I've never connected my fone to my tv or my Xbox & my Xbox is the old Matt black elite console. My tv is an lg led so neither have WiFi capabilities???

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] absalonprieto:
I think his is because the xbox and the SIII are both DLNA devices, so you don't have to pair them, as long as they are on the same wifi hotspot. you can do more than just pictures, you can do videos, and music. I don't know exactly which formats are supported, i think it depends on the xbox..

does anyone know of anyway to do this on a PC or any other device?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NatTheCat:

First - they should give GTA VC in correct date. We didn't get it, and now thinking about San Andreas....It's too fast.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ridder215215:
I'm not so sure. GTA San Andreas was a huge leap forwards. I have no doubt the current flagship devices will have problems running it, but our beloved Play?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ILikeTheWayYouMove2:
San Andreas is the best gta IMO and as much as I'd love it on my play I highly doubt it will happen maybe on a note 2 ect

But we can only hope!

Gta sa wont run on our xperia play, MAYBE it will in the note 2 and im prety sure that it will run in most of the 2013 devices.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ps2stuff:
I dont think it will happen anytime soon and our play will be long out of date by the time it comes out, but i see no reason why they couldnt run the game on the play they had it running on the ps2 not perfectly but good enough to play it so i think it could run on the play, but i dont think it ever will :(
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] DiKeJ:
In my opinion - it should work on Play with Chainfire 3D, minimum resolution amd graphics, and problem with possibly no optimization can be fixed with GameKeyboard. But hope they can make optimize for us, and work on lowest settings. My dream - San Andreas on Play :D....
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] mp998:
thats not necessarily true, the ps2 only had a 300 mghz processor I think the reason the other ports dont run the best isnt because of the phones hardware but in shortcuts taken in the process of porting them over.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] yekasangredevago:
You are quite right about that, and more. if developers tubieran into account the ability of smartphones that can overclock.

Who said we could not play our Xplay to 1.8 Ghz! :D
[General Questions and Answers] jemmyting:
HI all,

My brother in law has installed security cameras at his factory in cyprus to keep an eye on his staff and shop floor and can monitor these through his tv which is wired up using ip 192.168.1.150 and using H264 DVR in Cyprus

He would like the ability to view the security cameras on his home pc in the UK. So I have been given a CMS softaware disc and a ip address of 212.108.144.155 to set this up on his home pc which is connected via sky broadband. I have installed the CMS software and when trying to add zone/area via device manager using the above ip adresses it comes up as 'cannot find device'

I have tried changing the ip address set by sky via http://192.168.0.1/ to the above, but still no joy. So can you please advise how I can get this set up so he can view the same cameras in the UK as he can when over in cyprus.

Thank you

It seems when I'm in a different area and I get h/h+/3g that my battery drains more than when I'm at home using 4g? Why is that? Or am I just crazy...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jd1639:
It's probably because when you're out and about the phone is searching for a signal. That uses a lot of juice.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] promiseofcake:
+1, when the phone is not on 4G (LTE) it is constantly looking for 4G, if you are able to change your radio mode to WCDMA via the CM settings (if you are on CM10) theoretically, it should not continue to search for 4G. I don't have the experience to see that this is the case (battery savings)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Deliberate:
Oh so the culprit is searching not the signal itself! Ah well thanks guys! I appreciate it!

Bring up the phone dialer

Type *#*#4636#*#*

> Phone Information

> Preferred Network Type

> WCDMA only
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] promiseofcake:
That depends on the radio. ATT radios are RAT locked so that doesn't work. Also USSD codes don't seem to work on AOSP based ROMs.

Thanks to csschmit I spelled it wrong but can't find the post.

I do the toggle from Settings > More > Mobile Networks > Network Mode and change it to GSM/WCDMA and it will force HSPA.

If that doesn't stick, and immediately switches back to LTE, click Network Operators and it may take a long time for the search to complete, if it completes and you don't see AT&T try again over and over until it does. Once you finally see AT&T, click it and it will say "Registered on Network" and the toggle will now work. Even the "use 2g to save battery" will work.

It takes a long time for me to get AT&T to show but you only have to do it once per reboot provided you don't toggle Airplane mode.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kchen96:
Thanks for info too! When you check 2G only, is that only edge? Do you get 3g,hspa,hspa+?

In other words what I'm asking is, should I even check the box for 2G? Where i live constantly changes from H toH+ to 4G. Rather just stick with H+ and lower and conserve that battery
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
2g is only edge, you will not get higher speeds when it is checked, and supposedly has the best power savings, you can always have data off until needed which would be the best battery saver

[HTC One X] johim:
hey, sorry if this is was asked before, i tried searching but couldnt find anything relevant.

Can anyone explain a bit how to deal with google now after JB update?

Now, when i hold the home button it opens with the search bar and some cards (weather for example).

But how do you tell it to "Set an alarm" or start a timer, or call a person from your contact list? I tried calling a person from my contact list by saing "call xx xxx" and it recognized the person name, but actually it did a search for nearby locations and called a number from the location instead of callin the person in my contact list.

Also, i was playing in the options and there was an option to say "google" instead of tappin on the mic, but now i cannot figure where it was.

Is it possible to have the default speak-to-action when holding the home button instead - siri like style - my guess is its not possible?
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
What language do you speak?

E: Go to google now and press menu button. Somewhere you should see offline speech recognision. Cards only work with the languages listed.
[HTC One X] johim:
I already set it to English General (also tried English US)

Still cant find where that "say google to activate" option was.

Edit: actually i found it, when language is english general it wouldn't show, so its mandatory to be set in English US and it will appear.

Anyway, is there any way to have the voice interface by default when long pressing home?

Try setting system language to english too.

when I rooted my first kindle hd, I started as if I were gonna do the manual root, making sure that I was able to read the device using windows command prompts, had some problems with the usb error and also the device manager error (which has already been covered here)

Once I got that straightened out I used the auto quemo root, and was able to root and do all the other cool stuff I wanted

Picked up a 2nd kindle hd for my mom, trying to root it and failing

I'm able to detect the device using command prompts and I can get it to show up in device manager as "android composite adb interface"

but when I do auto root, I get stuck on step 2 "cannot create/data/local.prop: permission denied"

I've tried rollingback and uninstalling then re-installing adb drivers, can't get it to work

any suggestions?

Is it because I'm trying to root a 2nd kindle on the same laptop? Do I need to delete any directory regarding adb or kindle and start from scratch?

I'm either gonna try deleting everything and starting from scratch or try the manual root, any help?
