So I'm using stock rom, unrooted and BL locked and wanted some way to have more control on my lockscreen without BL unlock, root or custom rom.

Wanted to put weather, SMS unread, calls missed etc....

Well enter UCCW (all credits here go to 'vineetksirohi', his app thread here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1386987)

Here's what you need to do:

1. Activate lockscreen (have it set to slide or PIN etc.. otherwise you obviously do not get the lockscreen and go straight into your homescreen).

2. swipe right so you can see a '+' sign where you can add new pages.

3. press '+' and a list of possible additions will show up, one of them being your UCCW.

4. Select size of UCCW and then the skin you want to apply, and voila you now have a new page (which you can make the default lockscreen page) with anything that is possible with UCCW including working hotspots.-obviously you need to have some UCCW skins to choose from which you would have prepared earlier.

This means you can create a UCCW skins with anything you want and that includes hotspots and it will now be your default lockscreen.

No more need for apps/utilities or custom roms to enable different widgets on the lockscreen since UCCW can do it all for you and with total control on icon to display, hotspot to assign etc... , it will even refresh your weather just as if it was a UCCW skin on your homescreen.....cool !

Have a play and lets see what imaginative use we can make of it.

Attached is a screenshot of my current lockscreen (on stock rom) using the above feature. The 3 icons (calls, sms and gmail) all have hotspots to take me directly into the relevant apps, pressing on the clock launches the alarm directly.. no more need for any shortcut widgets !!

You can press the 'thanks' button if you like the suggestion. Also, apologies if this has been discussed previously but i'm a frequest user on xda and haven't seen it mentioned for the N4 before.

As far as I can see this pretty much kills every app i've come across that is intended to cusomtize the lockscreen, with the added bonus that all android security (like locksreen PINS) are intact and work perfectly.

Cool, its also great for home screens.

Here's my uccw lock screen.

Hi, that's the thing with being able to put UCCW on the lockscreen, the possibilities are many. I've actually changed lockscreen 3 times since that post and never save the uzips since they're so easy to make..

Has anyone used any tethering apps successfully? I downloaded Wifi Tethering for Root and have not been able to connect. Foxfi will not work on my current phone. Is there any way to change settings in the phones system folder to take advantage of it's built in hotspot capabilities. Well without big red knowing about it.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prokennexusa:
WiFi Hotspot - Options

Clarke33,

Do you want to use the Kindle Fire 2 as a WiFi Hot Spot or Access Point? When you say Tether, do you want

to connect your phone to your computer through USB, this is called Tethering. When you use the phone as

a WiFi connection, this is called a Hot Spot or Access Point. What type of phone would you like to use as a Hot

Spot? There is a solid app called WiFi HotSpot / WiFi Tether. The for USB Tethering, there is WiFi HotSpot &

USB Tether Lite. Respond with a little more details.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clarke33:
I have a grandfathered unlimited data package through Verizon and I want to be able to use my phone to supply the wifi if I am not close to a public wifi. I ran wifi analyzer and have a strong signal from my phone but it is an ad hoc signal which I understand the K f doesn't recognize.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prokennexusa:
WiFi Hotspot - Options

Clarke33,

Now I understand! Yes, Ad Hoc is not supported by many devices. Change the settings from Ad Hoc

to Infrastructure in the WiFi Application. This will be in the Options or Settings of the WiFi Tethering

Application.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clarke33:
Ok, getting closer to something working. I downloaded Wifi Tether for Root and it has a bunch of device selections and different option but something is still not quite right. With generic ICS selected and startup method selected Netd (master) the KF recognizes the signal as infrastructure mode and will allow me to connect but when I try to access the web all I get is a white screen that never loads. Why?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clarke33:
I have answered my own question. I tried another app called Open Garden Wifi Tether and it works like a champ. I have it set on generic ICS and setup method as Netd (master). So far everything is working great. Before anyone thinks bad of tethering against the will of the big red V, I have a plan with 5 lines and 3 data packages (@$90/month) and I'll be danged if I am going to give them any more since I have unlimited data.

Kindle Fire HD and 2 Tethering

Clarke33,

I have no problem with Tethering. I believe that we pay enough in Service Fees and as long as

you are not sharing the connection with 5 neighbors with the motivation to make money, there

is no problem with personal use. I am happy to hear that you were able to make it work. Good

job Clarke33!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clarke33:
No, the only thing I tether from my phone is my KF. I have actually been also playing with a hotspot toggle and using the phone's native hotspot. So far this has also worked and has not activated the screen from Verizon saying I need to pay an additional amount.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] internetpilot:
Did you drop your S pen? The tip might be stuck. Jiggling the tip around might help a little, but if the "button" built-in to the tip is jammed from dropping it on the tip you may need a new pen. The jiggling helped me when the same thing was happening with my S pen, but I had not dropped the pen (or the phone).

I have a problem with my Galaxy S 3

When i bought it out the box i was able to root easily and install custom rom (Wicked) with no problems but then i had to restore back to stock using ODIN returning back to stock and running everything stock i also reset the counter beause i wanted to exchange the phone turn out i cannot

so i re-rooted the phone the same way and tried to install the custom rom it gave me status 7 error he only thing that worked is my Backups

so i returned back to stock again and re-root this time i didnt have the error i just get stuck at the boot logo

i have no idea what to do now. its very frustrating.

ill try that when i get home

but note so far no rom has been working i can successfully install it with no errors

but when it wants to boot nothing happens just stuck at the Logo screen :/

i think its because i unroot using odin the wrong way or something idk but ever since i un rooted the device this started to happen..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jcbofkc:
I think status 7 error is a md5 mismatch. Redownload the rom you want. Also some people have had issues downloading to the phone so use a pc and transfer it.

Ok ill do that but what if I dont get the error the rom finishes installing and the aroma installer says status 0 I do not know what it means
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
There are a couple possibilites here.

1) Your recovery is outdated. Update it. CWM will work just as well as TWRP. A lot of people have been advertising TWRP like they are being paid to do so. Either will work fine, but it must be updated to the latest version. The "CWM makes you lose IMEI" slander is starting to get old as well. There have been several documented cases on this forum where people have lost IMEI using TWRP. That's of course assuming the custom recoveries are actually causing it. We don't even know that. In any case, a reboot nvbackup would prevent all of this nonsense. I can't believe people still aren't doing this.

2) You are attempting to flash roms that are not for your device. Please give us a forum link to the rom you are attempting to flash.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
I would gladly take this slightly off course and ask you to find me one with the issue, as I've read lots and lots about the issue, it is and has been a CWM issue. Here are the Docs Spreadsheet

ANd noob question what happens when i lose my Imei?? does it brick or prevent installation?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
Might as well be a brick. Just back it up the way I said and you don't need to worry about it.

This spreadsheet doesn't prove anything. I see 18 CWM IMEI losses. 3 of which are on CWM v6. Out of 116 users reporting. The vast majority of reporting users are using CWM with success. This is hardly evidence. If anything, it implies CWM is more popular than TWRP. But, there is no proof of that in the spreadsheet, either. You would need thousands of reporting users to establish any kind of usable baseline. Last I checked, no one is sure why the IMEI loss happens or what, exactly, causes it. People do have their suspicions (or superstitions), though. I've flashed hundreds of files with CWM, and never had a single issue. And so have thousands of other XDA forum members.

What about it? I think I posted a backup script there a couple months ago.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
But no one lossed it using TWRP, that's my only point. With out a doubt CWM is more popular, think of it this way. More people are going to respond and or look for a thread regarding the issue compared to those (TWRP) users who never had the issue, I've been on CWM for a couple weeks try to lose my IMEI and haven't done so yet. Either way I'm not defending either but trying to help people out.

When installing a Rom it just flashes through is that normal?

The installation for the rom just takes 1 to 2 seconds i that normal?

since i used to have a samsung nexus s it usually takes about 1 - 2 minutes to flash a rom that is greater than 100mb

i just wanted to know maybe that can spark any conclusions.

i am still failing to install a rom and seeing it boot up pass the boot screen.. i really need help please :/

the recovery does not give me any errors at all its installed " successfully "

the files that im trying to install into my phone are about 600mb +

the wiked rom is about 809mb

ive reinstalled the recovery via the apps ( rom manager and goomanager )

nothing seems to work :/
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ChronoXzX:
i think i found a solution to my problem :/

i downloaded a rom using my phone

and installed it through Goomanager and got it to boot up and run normally

its probably when i transfer the Files it got corrupted somehow

im going to try to Install a different rom and see how that goes..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jcbofkc:
Hey mt3g...

There is no logical way you can conclude CWM is the issue using that spreadsheet. If anything CM9/CM10 and AOKP seem to be a bigger issue. I respect your posts and you have helped a ton of people on multiple phones, but to blame CWM is silly at this point.

And yes people have lost IMEI using the magical allegedly bullet proof TWRP.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JBeXX:
Hdmi mhl adapter. Make sure it's one with a power source made for note 2 or sgs3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DroidOnRoids:
I have the official Samsung Smart Dock and a HDMI cable. I just put the phone on the dock and connect the HDMI from the dock to the TV and get instant display :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JBeXX:
Been debating spending the money on this? In your opinion was it worth the purchase? Do you use it alot?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DroidOnRoids:
Well, I got it for 75 dollars but it was originally 100. I'd say if you use the phone for multi-media purposes (watch movies on standard TV), then get it. But I wouldn't just buy if you want to dock/charge it and nothing else. Personally, I use my dock to make my Note 2 a giant PC. I connect my mouse and keyboard to the USB slots on the dock and connect the dock to the TV so I can browse the internet and what not on a bigger screen. That to me is worth the money. You should get it! It does a lot!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JBeXX:
Ah yes. That is exactly what i'd be doing is a pc like setup. I had a similar setup back in the early bionic days but that phone just didn't have the hardware to double as a desktop. Thinking the n2 will bring what it was missing. Appreciate the feedback!

MHL user - display issues

I have been using the MHL adapter that was purchased directly from Samsung for the Note 2. Oddly enough, since day 1 of me owning it, I have had the edges of the screen cut off from the display. I've checked every setting on my tv and nothing has fixed it.

Now here's the interesting part, every other phone I have tried to troubleshoot this issue with, (two sgs3's, an sgs4, I haven't found another note 2 to try it with) has worked perfectly, without changing any TV settings, and without the edges being cut off. So with that being said, I've been trying to figure out why my Note 2 is the only one that has this problem, to no avail.

Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MunkinDrunky:
I wouldn't know why only the note ii is doing that. With my note ii on different monitors or tvs (either) there is definitely variation in display. Some tvs you can't change the scan settings and will be stuck with the picture as is ( as far as I know-probably worth researching). Some you can change the setting and your all good or some monitors will display the whole image properly. Thats just my experience. I too would be Iinclined to have a more technical explination... i just havent sought one yet.
