[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] IronWolfXV:
So I installed ROM][4.1.2][YP-G70]PARANOID ANDROID v2.57.4- March 07 Update, so far so good, what i notice is that the Camera does not work, is there a fix to this? Also, does anyone know how long it takes for the device to charge?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] discoandhaze:
For a full charge from around 20% mine usually takes about 5 hours.

As for the camera, it's a known issue with no eta. Kernel issues, I believe.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iurnait:
You could use cm10 or my PAC man ROM

If you are root then this method is recommended! This will allow the Facebook and messenger app to update smoothly through the play store without effecting Home.

Official release:

https://www.box.com/s/cwqlf37a9d5posphkljn

Installation:

*download release above

*open build prop in your favorite root explorer. (Located in system folder on root of device)

*mount system folder

*edit build.prop like shown in image below.

"Sam" is supposed to be "Samsung" if you type in Samsung and it stops at Sam just finish the word and save.

*reboot!

*install included apk like normal

*done :)

Be sure to update your Facebook app and messenger through market to the latest version!!

--------------

If you don't want to mess with build.prop edits to get Facebook home then here is the link for a modified version: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2232307 [credit to ruthlessbeatle for finding this :) thanks!]

Just remember using that method will void any future updates Facebook releases for their primary app and messenger. You would need to either wait till he post the new updated apks or edit your build prop.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] jamebarron88:
This is what I get when I try to open the link
[Sprint LG Optimus G] outerpip:
I did it through the Box app... Worked for me.

Edit: installed, but says device not supported... Any work around for this yet?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] hellot1M:
Have you updated your Facebook app and messenger first?

Edit: I edited my build.prop prier to "GT -I9300" and samsung as manufacture
[Sprint LG Optimus G] outerpip:
Yes
[Sprint LG Optimus G] jamebarron88:
I get the same device not supported
[Sprint LG Optimus G] hellot1M:
Edit your build prop to gt-I9300 and Samsung as manufacture
[Sprint LG Optimus G] megamaster2:
Said it wasn't supported ! :(
[Sprint LG Optimus G] elliwigy:
maybe they arent using correct permissions when editing the build.prop? what does it need to b set to?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] outerpip:
Edited and it worked. Thanks.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] hellot1M:
I used root explorer. Mounted the system folder then made the edit. Restarted the phone, installed home and that's it. Works like a charm
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Stealyourface:
After you get it activated you can change the build.prop back to normal and it'll still function just as it should.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] megamaster2:
The restart fixed it. If only we could use Chat heads for sms now.

Sent from LG Optimus Prime G :D

---------- Post added at 09:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:52 AM ----------

My chat heads now work for SMS !! o.O This rocks.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] hellot1M:
I've notice a feature that shows up on the galaxy s3 that doesn't show up on my phone. Notifications for emails and missed calls.

Anyone else not getting these? Also on the s3 after installing it presets the favorites sections of the apps. Not on this.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Stealyourface:
Yea, it doesn't show. I'm surprised the S3 even has those. The non facebook related notifications I've read was just for the htc first.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] hellot1M:
That's lame of Facebook. The save the best features for the lower spec phones. Its not like others can't support Facebook home they just chose to specifically restrict the app to their favorite phones. That's bad business
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Stealyourface:
That's business. Go with the most popular phones first. I doubt the OG will ever get support for this. We don't even have sms with messenger. But the N4 does -__-
[Sprint LG Optimus G] ruthlessbeatle:
you dont need to edit your build prompt at all. i didnt im on lifeless just go to the OP and go to the link and download the rar. unzip, uninstall any and all fb apps on your phone already. restart and instill the apks you just downloaded. enable fb home under settings in the app and your running. this is what i did and iv been running fb home for a whole day and no problems. it will drain your batt faster.

---------- Post added at 01:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:53 PM ----------

yeah this and the batt drain are my only problems with this app. i wish it showed me text msg and missed calls
[Sprint LG Optimus G] hellot1M:
Yea but with side loading if Facebook updates Facebook or messenger then those people will have to go through another process for the new updates. At least with a build prop edit we can still easily update through the play store without any issues.

Also to the guy above about SMS and messenger.. we have that.. have even before Facebook home came out. And it should have nothing to do with what phones we have about support on Facebook home. Its like restricting the Facebook app to only galaxy devices or google apps to only nexus devices. Its stupid. I could understand restricting from devices with only a single core. Or making it only for ICS and above. But a specific device...

Edit: with Facebook home I'm pretty sure Facebook will be doing a lot of updating. I would hate to have to search a forum or Google for the latest work apks just for an update.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] ruthlessbeatle:
I thought j was on my thread sorry. For those who want to try it and don't wanna edit your build prompt head over to my thread and on the OP you can get a ver that works on all phones. Its been running on mine no prob. Or the OP of this thread can post the link from my thread for ppl. They would have options. Just trying to help
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Stealyourface:
They don't have SMS support for the LGOG in the messenger app. Can only get it from an edited build.prop. Put it back to normal and after a couple of hours watch that setting disappear.

Edit: about the notifications for home. Maybe they'd show up if we edited the build.prop to spoof an htc first?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] megamaster2:
Was just thinking this. If we could, I'd wanna try. It's beautiful.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] prowlingfox:
I tried this for about two minutes and I got fed up with it because I couldn't figure out how to access the rest of my apps.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Stealyourface:
Manufacturer/Brand: HTC

Model: MYSTUL

Try it out.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] hellot1M:
Slide to the left of apps. Also at the bottom of apps you can select more and it will take you back to your stock launcher. Facebook home is more of an interactive lock screen to the extreme.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] hellot1M:
didnt work :(

there has got to be something we are missing. the app should just read notifications as a standard.. ill keep looking into this though. its bugging me that this one simple feature is missing
[Sprint LG Optimus G] wmsforties:
samsung is probably supposed to be lower case.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] ruthlessbeatle:
i didnt think about istalling the updates lol rookie mistake!! it works great for those who cant figure out what to do and its really easy. i had to change the build prompt just because i wanted to glance and see if i had a text or email.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] hellot1M:
Is there a reason to have the build prop set with lg? Its not effecting anything. I have mine as the s3 still and am receiving text and email just fine with Facebook messenger and stock. As well as emails and everything else works as it should. Just keep it set to HTC or Samsung for now :) its not hurting anything

Edit: switched to htc first lol opps. Oh well still working lol

Btw OP updated
[Sprint LG Optimus G] ruthlessbeatle:
Sweet! I wasnt saying it didn't work I'm just saying I did it this way because its much better.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] hellot1M:
Made some adjustments to the op. Please if you are root use this method. Its much more effective than the modified version. Don't take the easy way out. It will only cause headache later when Facebook decides to update on their end.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] megamaster2:
Should we use myst instead
[Sprint LG Optimus G] hellot1M:
You can. I switched to a few other models names to test out compatibility. I just happened to stop at myst. It does not make a difference which you use. As long as its listed as one of the supported devices.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] ruthlessbeatle:
What is the original build prompt for the lg? Btw when i did this im having a problem playing videos on fb

I just released a new WakeOnLan application for 4.0+. The application uses CardsUI (http://www.androidviews.net/2012/12/cardsui/) and is Holo themed. I was going for a good looking and functional WakeOnLan app. You can also create widgets for quick WoL access.

The app is available in the play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grayson.wol2

I appreciate any and all feedback. Thanks!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danfalcas:
Hi there,

Is there a way to get the Expand desktop option in the power menu (long press power button) , as in PA 3.0 but in the AOSP 4.2.2.

I love the navbar buttons, I dont like the PIE and it's delay that makes me wait.

It would be great. Look, like this

Thanks
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hhairplane:
No, there is not. That is a system level configuration that would require a custom ROM. Almost all of them have it now.
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] manu.abraham:
Hey guys,

So here I will share on how to get facebook HOME on your xperia z .

STEP 1 : Root your device ;)

STEP 2 : Download buildprop editor from the play store (FREEEEE)

STEP 3 : Edit your buildprop like the following :

ro.product.model=GT-N7100

ro.product.brand=samsung

ro.product.name=t03gxx

ro.product.device=t03g

ro.product.manufacturer=samsung

ro.com.google.clientidbase=android-samsung

Note, please make sure you know what was the original build prop for future use ( I took screenshots to remind myself)

STEP 4 : Since Xperia Z has facebook pre installed, go to \setting\apps , delete Facebook.apk (make a backup)

Now you can uninstall facebook via settings ( it will show uninstall updates, but the app will be removed completely)

STEP 5 : go to play store , download facebook app, log in, go to settings, scroll down, check if you have the facebook home option , if NOT , please check the above steps to see if you made any mistake, if YES , dont do anything, just get out of the app (DO NOT CHECK THE OPTION)

STEP 6 : download the leaked facebook home apk ( im not eligible to post the link, so please get it from androidpolice)

STEP 7 : Install home, enjoy, everything working fine, on my XZ ...

STEP 8 : If ya dnt mind , Hit Thanks :P
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] Sniper Spr3e:
nice guide.

well done

personally don't use facebook anymore but still really usefull for others to know.
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] joejoejo:
I'm not rooted I got it to work by uninstalling updates to Facebook app then disabling it and then installing the Facebook home apk file which was posted here with file name FB_HOME.rar then i extracted facebook home apk and then I installed Facebook home from the Facebook home apk I just extracted then launched Facebook home and then it told me to enable Facebook by clicking on the button after I did I opened Facebook home again and it told me to update it by clicking in the update Facebook button then I updated Facebook app then I opened Facebook home again then it told me to login into Facebook by clicking on the button
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] manu.abraham:
Funny, I tried that initially but didnt work out for me... reason being that the the 'signatures' of the facebook home and facebook apk had to match, they didnt match on my phone even after i disabled/removed updates n all.. hence removed it completely...
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] ptan218:
The Facebook Home APK did install and work. However the Chat Head doesn't seems to work. Messages do not pop-up on the home screen.
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] manu.abraham:
once home is installed, open the settings (settings for home), go to messenger settings, enable sms/mms and anything else you need. Should work then.

Also, some users report a bug about chat heads missing, hopefully thats not your case
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] ptan218:
Sorry for my misinformation. Messaging popup on the home screen but chat heads is not working though... Did you get it to work?

---------- Post added at 04:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:23 PM ----------

Ignore the above message. Finally got it to work! Will update more tomorrow. Time to sleep. :D
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] manu.abraham:
Glad you got it working, do post some updates tomorrow :) ciao
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] 23Six:
There is a 'cracked' version here on xda where you don't have to mod build prop. Just saying
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] ptan218:
Here's my steps to get it work.

1. Uninstall and remove your facebook and messenger if you have already got it install. If you can't uninstall it, get titanium backup to remove it.

2. Extract Facebook Home from coolapk.com and side load it.

3. After installing the Home, launch it. It will redirect you to download Facebook from Play Store.

4. While downloading and installing Facebook, download messenger as well.

5. When everything is completed, launch Home again. It will ask you to login to Facebook. Once logon, wait for everything to load. You should see the top row where it ask if you allow the Home to replace your current launcher. Allow it.

6. Now you should be able to go to your messenger to popup your chat head. Tap and hold on any of your contact and select popup chat head.

Happy facebooking! :)

i tried to follow this but i'm getting a message

"you need the facebook app to be signed with the same certificate as facebook home"

and then there's an "install facebook" button!

any ideas???
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] manu.abraham:
sam any idea what all stuff you changed in the build props?? if you only changed what i put up in the first post, everything should be okay.. but if you changed anything else, pls let me know.. i can get you the stock value..

Also, as some of the guys are saying, there is an easier way to install home now... it didnt exist when I wrote this tutorial
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] sam1374:
I changed the file names as u had put in the post. No other files were changed, also if u can help me how to delete stock facebook.
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] bricky06:
this doesn't work if you have a pre-installed facebook app though?!
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] EmeraldTimer:
Thanks for your work, but i dont like FB home..
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] vibranze:
Facebook Home is listed in Play Store, so you can install from there directly but in order to make XZ work with it, the above modifications still need to be done. Remember to screenshot or write down the original value before you made a changes.

Cheers.
[Galaxy S II General] Molock:
i posted this in the Note section since it had a big thread going about this wakeup annoyance called l2_hsic, but as i am using a S2 i should post this here as well (you may remove my posts there if you think 1 is enough, i have no permission to do that yet), its a wall of text so im just gonna quote it:

TLDR: in a nutshell, after trying all possible solutions to get rid of the thousands of l2_hsic wakeups (in deep sleep that was), it was actually the google play store/services(/agent) that caused it, disabled it, and i have more than doubled my battery life

obviously most people use their phone alot more than me, i make a couple calls a day, rarely turn on wifi and thats it, someone using the store on a daily basis is probably not gonna disable it and reenable it over and over, just wanted to point out how much the store actually drains your phone without wifi/data in deep sleep on a 2G network
[Galaxy S II General] sk1887:
It's a pity that gmail/youtube wouldn't work at all after disabling google play services, google play store and market feedback agent.

The data/wifi signal that would usually turn blue stays grayed out. I'll be trying enabling just play services
[Galaxy S II General] bigdyl69:
Interesting, it would be good to see this bug fixed but Google apps remain connected, especially Gmail
[Galaxy S II General] Molock:
and after a couple months the l2_hsic evil is back for no appearant reason, i hit up TB one day with half a battery and it couldnt find the pro key again, so i closed it and thought i'd ignore it, next day i turn the phone on again and my battey is near empty, wtf? enabled google play stuff again, updated my apps including TB, pro key problems solved, disabled the google play stuff again, no luck, l2_hsic is back in full force, disabled all the google apps, no luck again either, but i noticed umts_ipc0 was in there too with just under the amount of l_hsic wakeups, which has something to do with the usb, so i started looking further and it seems a fix for the l2_hsic wakeup bug has already been found, even though its on another device:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=41338478

only problem now is to have the kernel modders take a look in their kernel and see if that bug is present and if so, if they can fix it?

Use non stock battery? Salutes for 7 days for 35% remaining even standby on 2G..:what:
[Galaxy S II General] Molock:
using stock battery, the better ones havent been available in my country for as long as i can remember, would have bought one if they were :)

shame i cant get that battery life back from my OP, it was 35% used instead of remaining after 7 days :p with the l2_hsic going mental again now im lucky to even hit 7 days with a full battery

[Motorola Droid RAZR] teiva:
As the RAZRs begin to reach their EOL (end of life) product cycle (warranty finished, no more firmware updates, etc) why can't Motorola release an upgrade to unlock the bootloader for everyone.

I can't imagine the carriers would care and surely it would be a simple thing for them to do. They don't have to force this update on any users but simply make it optional for those that want it.

I upgraded to jb with the ota update and unfortunately lost root and to be honest have now lost interest in this phone. I was running AOKP V7 SP's version and it was running so well.

If Motorola techs happen to be reading this, then please consider it because at this stage I sure ain't interested in getting another Motorola and not because they are no good, far from it, it's because you restrict your users freedom with this phone. I will vote with my wallet and atm it won't be Motorola/Google.

Cheers, Teiva
[Motorola Droid RAZR] heblu:
well, think about it:

It is good that you lost interest in this phone, maybe now you will buy a new one from them
[Motorola Droid RAZR] teiva:
Yeah true. Maybe the new X serious
[Motorola Droid RAZR] geemacd:
They already said it won't be Motorola because of this policy and same applies from me as well
[Motorola Droid RAZR] teiva:
Be interesting to see how all the new phones being released are with their bootloaders. I guess if I could pick up a RAZR HD or RAZR MAXX HD at a reasonable price I would consider getting one (even though they only come with 1GB system ram). My XT910 seems to run quite well with the OTA JB update. I do miss flashing roms though.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] heblu:
I doubt that they will change this policy

Bun for us who didn't update to EU JB and still have root Is still fun due to kexec :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] teiva:
It's a shame considering these phones are no longer premium and flashing Roms makes the world of difference to the experience on them.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] RobHunt:
Jumped ship a few months ago to an N4 and not looking back. I loved my xt910, beautiful piece of hardware, too bad that Motorola kills it. Never again Motorola.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blackops11252:
So true. Motorola is losing customers because of lock bootloaders. I have heard so many people say never again to Motorola(in person & on forums). So if a unlocked bootloader keeps people interested especially at the EOL. I think it would be good for business.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] teiva:
They are going to lose me for that very reason. All we ask is for the option to unlock our bootloaders. It's not something that everyone wants to do nor even knows about but that choice should be there for those that choose too.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] niematakiegobicia:
This same situation like milestone and other smartphones with lock bl from M. Owners dream of unlock bl when new models came out. But thats was never happend. The policy has never change. Sry for bad eng.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Crumplet:
I agree, if moto would just open their eyes to what their customers are saying they would have a Hugh support of long term customers. Moto has such great phones. To bad to see they are losing their loyal supporters.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] teiva:
My XT910 when I bought it was an awesome phone. Better then the galaxy S2s being sold at the time.

I'm not sure the reasoning behind Motorola's reluctance to unlock the bootloader on what can now be considered an old phone but it sure is going to impact my future decisions.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] niematakiegobicia:
I think that Motorola wants to cut off from the "older" models and concentrate on models developed jointly with Google. You could see for a while like google too did not know which way to go with M. From what I know this phone x (or whatever he's called) is already unlocked bl (! Sic)

But do not despair, we already have good ports based on kexec and the issue of time is full of functionality. Thank you for the great developers from xda:-p

Greetings from Poland, third-world country (according to Motorola)

[Motorola Droid RAZR] megawebmaster:
We will see, but as far as I remember there was unlockable bootloaders on some Motorola phones. I hope somehow we will manage to use our RAZRs to the max ;) For Milestone there is still active development (great @nadlabak) so I hope @dhacker and @Hashcode won't abandon us ;)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] romdroid.:
Still nagging about the bootloader? We have kexec and imo that is enough. We should instead be grateful for devs like hashcode and dhacker who makes this phone awesome.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Crumplet:
I disagree, Motorola should thank these dev's for keep their products still awesome and users should donate to the dev's for their hard work.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] teiva:
Do you need a rooted phone to run kexec? If so then kexec doesn't help those with XT910, JB OTA, and no root.

Does an unlocked bootloader make it easier to root your phone?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] heblu:
yes, you need rooted phone for kexec due to necessity of having a custom recovery to install if from

unlocked BL is not related to the root
[Motorola Droid RAZR] I Am Marino:
I feel it's more of a carrier issue than Motorola, they're a company, they want money, referring to at least the US models, the carriers want locked bootloaders, they'll get them.
