it's open source. So I think it will be definetly ported to s3. But I don't think it will be a port for daily usage.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexx910:
The big problem on the s3 at the moment is that we still havent the full source code to get even CM10.1 run fluidly, also caused by the lack of a lot of drivers. On the galaxy s1 we had the luck, that nexus s was almost identically to the galaxy s1. that was the deal.

But this time there are no good drivers and we're pretty much ****ed up till samsung is handing out all the stuff to the developers.

So lets hope samsung will be a good guy and give all the stuff to us :) Only then we will be able to use the s3 at its full potential, and ubuntu phone too.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mertzi:
Does anyone know any dev with plans for porting? And where will we find this information really? As ubuntu isn't android I don't think there will be threads under "original android development" or "android development".

Imagine the possibilities here, personally my main interest is being able to use my S3 as a computer on an external display + keyboard and mouse, and seeing that ubuntu will have 4 different modes (phone, tablet, desktop and media center) I think this might finally become possible. Interesting times ahead.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rizy7:
Hi,

I'm new around here, so I'm sorry if this is in the wrong forum.

Can anyone tell me how I can get my contacts birthdays to appear on my phone calendar. In calendar settings I have the contacts birthdays option checked to display. When syncing my calendar with my google account, everything appears fine on my laptop when looking at Google calendar. I was temporary able to fix this issue by clearing my calendar and calendar storage data in my apps settings with the birthdays appearing on my calendar after I had done that. However, after adding a few more birthdays and trying the same method, not all the birthdays appear on my calendar that I have recently added. If I check on my laptop again they are all displayed there correctly.

Any ideas?

Thanks
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solutions Etcetera:
Make sure both the "display" and "synch" settings for the birthday calendar are checked in the Calendar app's settings on your Nexus.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rizy7:
Thanks for your suggestion, they are both ticked in display and sync.

Do your contacts birthdays show in the calendar or have you not tried?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solutions Etcetera:
Yes, they show. Do you have more than one account?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rizy7:
No I just have one account but I use a hotmail address for my Google account. If I add a birthday to my contact, it will show up on the online calendar fine but wont display on my phone calendar. The only other thing I can think of is if my simple calendar widget maybe interfering?

So I'm helping this guy out to run an ruu...he has locked the bootloader and every time he tries to do it it says connection not there between the phone and the computer but its obviously connected...is there any way to go out of this situation....do we need s-off to type "fastboot oem unlock"?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Try re-installing HTC Sync, and try a different USB port. Try a different cable also, but its usually the drivers or USB port.

You don't need S-Off to unlock the bootloader. That would defeat the purpose of having a bootloader unlock. We don't currently have S-Off on this device, either.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] superchilpil:
Run the ruu while booted into fastboot

The ruu.exe should detect it and start

Or you could try fastboot oem rebootruu
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] subarudroid:
I think it is detecting the device. I was wondering cause it gets to the end and says check the connection. That maybe its the wrong ruu?

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] subarudroid:
Yea I spent all day yesterday explaining how to fastboot OEM lock. You need the token to unlock again, right?

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
How do you know its detecting (talking to) the device? If the person has adb, they can check easily with the command "adb devices". In any case, re-installing HTC Sync and trying a different USB port certainly won't hurt anything, might work, and it would at least eliminate those as the cause. The drivers (HTC Sync) is the most common cause for RUU not running (aside from not relocking the BL).

Wrong RUU doesn't give a connection error, it gives a version error.

Yes, its not any different from the first time you unlock, except you already have the token.

The correct command is:

[Nexus 7 General] shongsa:
I have a psp and thinking of ditching it and replace it with nexus 7 since i am only playing it for ps1 games and there is ps1 emulator for android. The onscreen control is good enough for rpgs which im more interested in but it is missing the shoulder buttons that im used to. So yesterday i thought of something and came out with ghetto shoulder buttons, this is how it looks like connected to R1 button of epsxe (ps1 emulator).

built from aluminium foil, thin wire, and tape. The foil on the corner is exposed and functions as the shoulder button. Aside from it looks, it works really well. I tried creating it using tape and aluminium foil only but it would not work, the button will register as being pressed although im not touching the screen or the foil in the corner. Using wire like in the picture solves this problem.

So this is one way to get a shoulder button for emulators, it is not pretty but it is pretty cheap :p If anyone has better idea or has seen a product that does the same thing please share :D
[Nexus 7 General] Amazing_Antony:
i like them, A* for creativity!
[Nexus 7 General] xopher.hunter:
Looks really ghetto that's for sure but I'm thinking if you use black electrical tape it would look way better. I have used electrical tape to block out the blinding capacitive lights on my epic and it worked fine. Maybe cutout a circle on both ends would look good too.
[Nexus 7 General] shongsa:
Using a black tape would make it more eye pleasing but i think electrical tape is too sticky. Im using cheap tape so that i can remove it easily and it does not left any sticky traces. The circle cutout is a good idea, i will be doing that when my current one will not stick anymore. I have been removing and sticking back my current ghetto shoulder buttons a few times and it is still sticking well.
[Nexus 7 General] Wilks3y:
Quality idea !

Well done ! :)
[Nexus 7 General] shongsa:
Just got me one of this, Digitus Gamekeys

I did a short test to see whats its capable of. I have only used the d-pad and the four-set button. The d-pad sticks well enough without pressing it too much on the screen in fact it will stick by simply dropping it to the screen but the buttons need a bit more work to make it stick good enough to game. Although d-pad sticks really easy but it is a pain to make it working properly. In epsxe with normal size on-screen d-pad, it can go up, down, left, right but it is hard to do diagonal directions. After adjusting the size of the on-screen d-pad a few times, i found that to get best maneuverability is to make the on-screen d-pad really small, smaller than the rubber d-pad sticking on it which makes it hard to really put the rubber d-pad dead center on the on-screen d-pad.

According to the box the buttons have 'original psp soft touch'. I tested this claim and while it is soft and easy to press down but it is also easy to push it in other directions other than down which sometimes makes the buttons unstick from the screen. With the four-set buttons one unsticked button will not cause them to fall so it is easy to fix just stick the button back. For button mashing games, although i havent tested yet but i dont think this will work very well, you will want a real controller. With slower pace games like platformers they are really playable. I tried megaman 7 with gnes and im quite satisfied with the control and response.

In conclusion, to me the digitus gamekey works really well with emulators and works much better than on-screen control with the feel of buttons and button feedback but not on par with a real controller. It costed me 7 euros.

Ok.. thats the end of that, lets get back to topic. I am thinking of creating shoulder button using the 7 buttons left. one button sticks to the screen connected to a button sticked on the corner of the nexus in (hopefully) less ghetto-ey fashion as the one i have now. One of the current ghetto shoulder button is already broken. I forgot the wire i used (awg 32) doesnt like to get bent and twisted very much and part of the wire on the corner got broken. The next build i would like it to be durable and portable so no tape, you can store in your pouch without getting it sticking in. I got some idea but if you got any idea or already have a custom shoulder buttons :cool: on your nexus 7 please share :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5p1k31337:
Hello to I9100 section,

first of all i'm not complete new in customise android smartphons, but in a few days i get my first i9100 and the section is really big and confusing so i want to ask some questions.

My previous smartphones were: i9003 and i9070.

At the i9100 i want to use a stock rom as far as possible, but i want to customise some things.

The things i want to change are:

- rooting with cwm

- 14 toggle mod

- extended power menu

- percentage battery

- custom boot animation

- crt mod

- maybe if possible with stock rom a battery bar

- some tweaks like center clock and other status bar notifications.

At my search in the section i found a lot of stuff (mostly from resurrection remix), my question:

Can i use this mods on a stock rooted sansung rom with 4.1.2?

I think things like percentage battery can be done by me using uot but most of the mods i have to install,

i'm a little but unsure if the work on "stock" rotted samsung rom.

Maybe someone can giv me some tips?

I dont want to use a custom rom again cause my experiences with them weren't always good unfortunatly :/

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Donnie Sins:
I agree. I understand your (OP) point about custom roms that 'don't always work', but if you install a rom based on official Samsung roms, it's almost the same as stock, but with some modifications. However, I would go for Neatrom, as its development is more active than Wanamlite, but that's up to yourself.

On my Nexus 7, Dolphin is my default browser. However, when using the Google search widget, results are displayed in Chrome, and not Dolphin. After the list of results is displayed, then the link opens properly in Dolphin.

This issue would not be so irritating if I could long-press on links in the initial page of results and choose to open the link in a new tab. However, that option is not available, for some reason, so if I want to view several links, I have to keep going back and forth from the initial results page. This is very irritating.

So, simple question: how can I get the Google search widget to open the initial results page in my default Dolphin browser? If this is not possible, then how can I get the links in the search results to open in a new tab?

Thanks for your help.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccinco:
Still hoping to make this work

I'm still hoping someone can help me figure out how to ensure that search results using the handy Google search widget open in Dolphin browser, which I find to be far better than the stock browser. As I mentioned earlier, once I choose a link, that link opens in Dolphin. However, the search results page does NOT open in Dolphin, and I am unable open a search result in a new tab from the stock browser, which is irritating.

Can you clear the defaults on either the search widget or the browser and reset them? Maybe that will get them to switch.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccinco:
Thanks for your quick reply. Yes, I did clear the defaults, which I believe is why the search links open in Dolphin. However, the original search page stubbornly sticks with the inferior stock browser.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Groid:
Stock rom, rooted, 4.2.1. If you are rooted there is a way to remove Chrome as the default browser and place the default nexus browser (not chrome) from the nexus phone rom as default. I did this and Voice Search & Google Now open web searches in it. I side-loaded Flash and it works great with that browser. If you want to make Dolphin the default, I don't know about that.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Letitride:
If OP has rooted, stock Rom or otherwise and still has Chrome Browser - go to Store/Play to download free app called "AntTeh App Manager" and use it to freeze Chrome (thus, disabled it) That should allow Dolphin Browser to be the only one - boot into Custom Recovery & wipe dalvik cache to be sure, restart - and all searches should be going to the Dolphin.

I am using Boat Browser & Google Search and/or Voice Search, etc. will launch & show results in it. (rooted Stock 4.1.2 - franco kernel)

You can unfreeze Chrome & go back to it anytime as you wish as it's not deleted, just hidden & will no longer shown on the Apps list, unless re-enabled.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cajun9924:
I have wifi issue on any lk8 rom. I am fine with ljc to lk8 as long as i stay on ljc based rom. When i flash any lk8 rom I get wifi failed to connect or ocasionally it says connected but no traffic. I have tried dirty install on lk8 rom and clean install of lk8 rom several times same result. I go back to ljc and do the chameleon fix and all good.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
Can you share your Wi-Fi settings?

Don't need the SSID or PW, need to know what security you're running mainly.

I'm on WPA2-PSK and having no issues on LK8.

Most JB builds seem to have problems with WEP, especially if using a second layer security...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cajun9924:
I have tried all the different wifi security settings and also no security still nothing. Spent a whole night trouble shooting wifi. Tried changing ip to static still nothing. At times it will show connected but no internet. No problems at all on ljc rom. Other android phone and notebook connect just fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
What settings do the router have set up? (Or do you not have access to it?)

Perhaps the easier way is to do this in ADB from LJC:

$ su
# cp /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf /sdcard/

This makes a new file in you USB memory called wpa_supplicant.conf - it's the raw wi-fi settings.

Then copy/paste the contents here removing any SSID or PW.

If you can do for LK8 as well then we can probably see if there's a configuration change there.

If you'd rather you can PM this info to me as well.

Last thing to do would be a logcat.

First, turn off Wi-Fi in LK8 and clear the log:

$ su
# logcat -c

Then turn on wi-fi, let it fail. Let's dump the log now:

$ su
# logcat -d > /sdcard/logdump.txt

(Doesn't need to be logdump.txt, can be whatever)

Note: You can skip su step if you keep ADB open, only need to do once.

Then .ZIP and attach or put up on pastebin/dropbox/etc and post or send me a link.

Happy to troubleshoot it as much as possible!

Final possible step - wipe the wi-fi information out.

Turn off wifi first before doing this:

$ su
# rm /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf

...and see if it will pick up and just let you fill in the missing parts.

Hope this helps!

Hi all,

I have the Note 2, it is not rooted and full stock. I purchased the Allshare Dongle and I did update the dongle firmware. I can get video over HDMI but no audio using media player or spotify. I tried 2 different HDMI cables. I tried going direct to TV and bypassing the HDMI receiver to which the TV is connected. I tried going to Accessory Settings and trying both Stereo and Surround.

Seems like this should be obvious but its not. I get audio from phone until I turn on allshare cast, and then I get no audio from the phone (as it should be because HDMI is then active) - but there is no HDMI audio.

I searched the Net but can't seem to find others with the problem. Thoughts?
