If I'm not mistaken, Burnsra is building the NS4G version, and may be working with Salas to test this build. In any case, the aforementioned image means that they've got it booting, if not working. I was looking for the build he's showing there in the image, but apparently he hasn't leaked the experimental version yet, so we wait.

Remember, every time someone asks for an ETA, a developer ragequits and abandons a ROM. Think of the ROMs, people.

Agreed but this time its not just some developer, its the CM itself. But yeah, we shall wait and have patience. Devs have nice things coming for us :good:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] eduardo_b:
Despite many hours of reading threads, I'm unclear as to relationship of ROMs, themes and TouchWiz. I have two S3 I747s -- one rooted, one not. I realize that when it comes to look and feel, other than changing wallpaper and moving icons around, there's not much to be done without rooting.

1) So I know that custom ROMs have different features and functions relative to the stock ROM, and some have unique look and feel, which I assume are themes. What I don't know is how TW relates to these in a rooted phone. Is TW the stock ROM or simply the firmware that reacts to user action on the screen? Will flashing a new ROM have any effect on TW or perhaps even replace it?

2) I'm assuming themes are basically reskinning both stock and custom ROMs. I see lots of themes for, say, CM of various versions, and I see lots of themes that seem to be for rooted stock ROM phones. Do I need to find those that are specifically for an I747 to match screen resolution or will any Android theme work depending on version of OS -- ICS, JB, etc.?

3) What's the best way to back up stock theme files, and which files do I back up and then replace? I've seen references to launchers and theme selectors but am unsure what this refers to.

I'm fairly okay with stock ROM and TW but really would like to change look and feel. Anyone who runs WindowBlinds knows what I mean. I'd really like to be able to keep a number of themes on extSD and change them easily.

If there's a thread or resource that answers my questions, I'd love to know where it is. Thanks for any help.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gravedigger76:
Try various launchers like Apex or Nova
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] eduardo_b:
Thanks for this. So launcher is basically home screen appearance, starting apps, live widget support and additional features? They seem to have their own themes, whereas free-standing themes without changing native launcher alter look and feel of home and other screens of OS. Is that about right? I need an Android glossary. :o
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jasvncnt1:
1. TW is just Samsung's user interface, launcher. Depending what type of ROM you flash, yes TW may be replaced. If you use a ROM based on AOKP/CM10 then you will not have TW. Also certain apps like the stock camera depend on the TW framework. You can use a different launcher and replace TW as previously suggested.

2. Im not positive on this one. Right now Im running a ROM based on AOSP. When I look for a theme in Playstore I look for one that was made for CM10/AOKP. So the phone model may not matter. Of course the ones you find on this forum thread would most likely be for this model.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhomiec:
TouchWiz is more than just launcher. some apps, settings, lock screen, and notification drawer, are all dependent on TouchWiz.

most custom ROMs are either based from TouchWiz or AOSP.

AOSP is as close as you'll get to a Nexus phone.

but in any case of any custom ROM, or whether you're rooted or not, you can install a launcher from the Play Store to change your Home Screen and App Drawer appearance (such as Nova, Apex, and GO). then there are some custom ROMs that use one of these launchers as the default launcher in place of AOSP or TouchWiz.

also, most custom ROMs come with a custom Kernel. but there are some that just come with the stock Kernel.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] eduardo_b:
Okay, I'm much clearer on TW and ROMs, but not quite sure about theme compatibility. What happens if CM theme is flashed to stock ROM phone? I want to avoid an endless boot situation, which I assume is among worst things that happen with theme incompatibility.

Do themes readily work with different phones -- i.e., run on HTC, Motorola, Galaxy, etc. with different size screens?

Finally, I'm thinking ZipThemer might be most efficient way to easily change themes as long as zips can be titled with theme name and not update.zip. I like the ability to backup and recover original theme. I still also want to have original theme files backed up somewhere else. Does anyone know names and locations of these?

They just can't fix that vlingo garbage.

It's been working just fine for over a month on odex blue.

Today, out of the blue, it just started ****ing up.

Over bt car set, it beeps to accept command, then after reading the command, then instead of doing the command it beeps again, then you can say anything, it will ignore it and do the first command.

Is there any way to motherfing uninstall that junk and just use google implementation (which always seems to work and never breaks?)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cnstarz:
you have 1400 posts on xda and you still don't know how to freeze or uninstall system apps?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Cbass15:
This but freeze S-voice. If you use Nova (I think it is, I use TW) you can set custom button actions and set your home button to double click to go into Google Voice.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nabbed:
I need to be able to voice dial and receive calls from my BT car kit, while my phone is in my pocket. There would be no physical interaction with the phone itself, since it's in my pocket.

I understand that this country is still in the dark ages of mobile technology, and most people don't use hands-free bluetooth car setups, and still hold their phones to their ears while they drive. I suppose I dismiss those kinds of people as morons and normally don't listen to them (since even if your car may not have a built-in bt car kit, it takes an hour and $200 to have one installed professionally.)

Anyway, maybe this clarifies the issue for those repliers above.

Uninstalling or freezing S-Voice in GB/ICS unfortunately completely broke the bluetooth phone functionality. A workaround in GB was to install a custom Google voice dialer, whose apk was named the same way as the s-voice apk (since they used the same api for BT car dialing.) I've never heard of anyone finding such workaorund in ICS.

I suppose I can try and freeze the thing to see if that works, but more likely than not, it won't.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cnstarz:
i froze all samsung bloatware when when i got my phone and bluetooth still works just fine.

but to call someone a moron because they can multitask with a phone and driving... is moronic. if anything, the fact that you rely so heavily on BT hands-free operation just shows that you are the incapable one.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
This device doesn't have GB, and you calling people morons isn't gonna get you any help. S-Voice works just fine for me. And removing S-Voice doesn't break Bluetooth unless you're removing the BT files as well. Maybe you should buy an iPhone so you don't have to learn anything.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vengeance66:
Hello,

Yesterday I got my new full case for my Xperia X10i. I changed it myself viewing a tutorial on YouTube. I don't know why, but my phone was stuck in the familiar SE logo boot loop. I read all the possible answers here, tried them all. I went to a software service, they said it's not a software problem. I went to hardware service, they said the hardware is working fine, everything is fine.

I was using Gingerbread version 2.3.3 version on my phone, never changed, never bricked, never nothing "wrong" done to the phone. Now, I've followed every instruction here, tried with PC Companion, SEUS, FlashTool; everything with no luck...

I'm asking you, because I'm amateur, noob, and I don't want to lose my Xperia. What am I supposed to do? What to try?

Oh yes, and when using Flashtool I'm getting the UNROOTABLE tip on one line...

Any ideas, tips or tricks to repair my phone?

Thank you very much!

Edit: The hardware service that said the phone's hardware was fine, said that the last hope for my phone is to do something under the sticker (the sticker under the battery) that needs wired connecting to something... I didn't understand him...

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mexlos:
Sorry I posted in the ROM thread before I knew this one existed.

Anyway:

Sense recent apps is eye candy, like iTunes coverflow.

However you can only see one full recent app and half of two other adjacent apps. It will only show the app's name and icon when it's the actively selected recent app, and you cannot see your current app in the background. To me it feels very claustrophobic.

Honestly I'd prefer the Gingerbread recent apps menu to the way Sense currently handles it. Switching between apps should be quick and effortless and provide a comfortable overview of what's running and not feel like you're searching around a dark app cave with a flashlight illuminating one app at a time.

Hello Note 2 user!

I'm planning to buy the Note 2 in january and I love to play games with the PS3 Controller.

After I found out that the Note 2 is compatible with the PS3 controller I found gameklip.

Gameklip is aviable for the note 2 but I want to use a usb cable instead of bluetooth connection.

(Battery, comfot etc.).

But the price of the gameklip with the cable is a little bit too high because I don't want any trouble with the cutoms (they almost send my 18 USD t-shirt back to the USA because they wasn't sure if the bills are correct).

But I believe I found the exact same cable that the gameklip uses on ebay too!

And does the Note 2 charge the PS3 controller?

I hope not...

Here is the link to the cable:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zkyevolved:
Hello everyone, I am having an issue with my galaxy s3. The problem is that I can't remember when this issue started and if it's a software or hardware issue.

This only happens sometimes and I've tried different headphones and it happens with all the headphones I have and once again it happens sometimes.

When I am trying to listen to music, sometimes the music plays through the headphones (most of time this is what happens) but sometimes the music (with the headphones plugged in) plays through the loudspeaker. I think it could be a hardware issue from the fact that sometimes while listening to music the music stops as if I had disconnected the headphones from the jack when in fact they're still plugged in.

Since it happens sometimes I'm not sure it's a hardware issue and I should get it changed. I haven't rooted or changed anything. Stock dbt international S3. Could this be a software issue or a hardware issue?

Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Sent from my Galaxy.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nimer.abdul:
Most likely hardware.

It sounds like a hardware issue, it is common with headphone jacks.

You could try a few things though, like cleaning the headphone jack with Q-Tips, trying different headphones and using a different app to play music.

Have you put extra stress on the headphone jack? Or dropped the phone badly?

If all else fails, backup your apps, contacts, pictures and all other personal data and install stock firmware using Kies.

Best of Luck!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vadwiser:
Are you sure it has the same issues with stock headphones? Mine not. Its more like an incompatibility with headphones made for IOS/iphone, an issue that is not present at all on HTC phones for instance.

This is frustrating. After Xmas I'm going to format it and set everything back to factory (no apps, no data, nothing!) and see if that fixes it. I guess it could be an error somewhere with an app or software.... If that doesn't fix it right off the bat then I'm taking it in.... Unless any of you have any suggestions!
