[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] romracer:
OP, what does your friend's engineering device say in this regard? If the engineering device is not locked, then you should get a backup of aboot (p6 in your partition table I think). That's what they used to ultimately unlock the SGS3 on VZW. I don't know if it'll help here, but its a good first step.

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 of=/sdcard/aboot.img

You may need root for that, so don't let the device slip away. I'm sure root will be along shortly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] howtomen:
Thissss right here needs to be achieved.

sgh-i747(d2att)(sgs3) on latest cm10.1 or ultimatum
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mikereidis:
Yes. It indicates an analog audio path for FM audio.

But it is likely "vestigial" ; meant for other devices that use the Qualcomm WCN36xx FM/combo chips.

This phone uses a BCM4335 combo chip instead.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mohan_kr:
It's not an engineering device, it's a UAT device which means the ones that are officially shipped. Yes, I have already am looking to see if we can get a bootloader image :). Hopefully it can happen. But I heard Sprint GS4 will be shipped with unlocked bootloader. Pretty sure that's not gonna help.

Also, I am not sure whether the bootloader partition will be able to be ODINED.

Hate ATT, not sure why they are doing this..

Hmm..I see from screenshots in the general section applying update from external storage..hopefully we can upload a su binary if there is an option to disable sig. verification..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] breakingspell:
They probably don't want us removing all of their godawful bloatware, haha. Unauthorized tethering is a more pressing concern for them, to my understanding
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Scott:
Has anyone talked with AdamOutler? He unlocked the VZW Note II. He may have insight into this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] whizadree:
you think they did it because of the new laws going through and gone through congress , since att have Supported both SOPA and now CISPA . add : what about the additional policy on unlocking? , does it cover anything related to bootloaders / rooting
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] breakingspell:
Not necessarily, both of those bills concern information privacy and censorship (and both were shot down, assuming you're talking about SOPA).

Just thought i'd throw out that i received my device today, and while i'm no developer, i know my way pretty well around dumps and consoles, so if i can be of assistance, let me know
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Thermalwolf:
I too would also like too add that I am willing to use my device to help with dumps and stuff as long as it's "relatively safe" :P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rob989_69:
I'm also willing to use my device for testing and dumps of any kind.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Earthdog:
Well if I understand this correctly locked is not a huge deal typically that can be worked around. However if its locked and Encrypted then thats another issue that can be a huge deal.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] hamzer11:
I'm not technical enough to understand this but I know that when I had the original Atrix it came with a locked bootloader but there were still root methods available. You just couldn't install custom ROMs but you could take advantage of Root access. Is that different than with the S4?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mudknot2005:
Essentially yes. The only difference is the atrix bootloader was encrypted, where as the sgs4's is not.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] breakingspell:
Generally, with Samsung phones, an unlocked bootloader allows us to flash a custom ROM through Odin, or more practically, a custom recovery, to facilitate easy flashing from there on. One of the easiest ways to obtain root with an unlocked bootloader is simply to flash a custom recovery and then install a superuser/supersu package through that, but if we have a locked bootloader, there'll have to be a software exploit to obtain root access in order to manually install the su binary, or we'll have to wait until the bootloader is cracked
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] hamzer11:
Thank you both above for clarifying. I guess what I want to know is, even if the bootloader takes long to crack, root should still be possible as it was with the Atrix, correct? I guess this is what you mean by software exploit.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] breakingspell:
We're being optimistic about it. The kernel does not restrict root, so our only challenge is finding an exploit.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jcase:
Signed != encrypted

Both Motorola, and Samsung bootloaders are signed, and have been for some time. Signed bootloaders are not a bad thing, and can help in preventing bricking. The "Motorola bootloaders are encrypted" chant is just ill informed people repeating things they read on XDA/Twitter/Blogs. They were not, and are not encrypted. Just signed.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] alacrify:
Check the thread and take your chances - last time I checked it was 5 pages in and nothing but positive responses (as long as you make sure your drivers were up to date, you turn on USB debugging, and use the current version in the OP).

Fortunately, we have a unlocked one for the T-Mobile variant and it is practically same device (from specs) with additional LTE bands support in the T-Mobile one. Really ticked off with ATT.

I've been looking for the link to the new o2 UK ROM upgrade for the XDAII.

I'm pretty sure that I am looking on the right site (www.myxda.com) and that I've already downloaded the launch ROM and the upgrade. But now I cannot find the link anymore...

As I've already encountered some bugs in my German ROM so that I am not sure if o2 UK maybe has withdrawn the release?!?

Has anybody some information on that? Is there still a working link on the o2 UK site? If not - why? :roll:

(If I'm totally wrong, I apologize in advance for seeding rumours...) :wink:

UPDATE: Okay, found it. Seems like there are several ways to download the latest update...
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Jim Ill:

On www.myxda.com is the O2 website, even you inside you also can't download the rom, because the website must have password only you can access. for UK go to www.my-xda.com then you can download from there.

This is for

DeOdexed

XXMC3 GT-P6200 AND DeOdexed GT-P6210 XXMD3 Only!!

Warning: Unconfirmed with stock Touchwiz Launcher, Please download both .zips as a precaution.

Nao with 4 Way Reboot! Sure Scripts and Quick Boot maybe be easier/faster but it feels so much better integrated. Also Quick Boot doesn't go to download mode I dont think.

For Hot Boot to work you need to symlink PKILL with BusyBox Installer (recommend: JRummy) as mentioned : here

Known issues:

Alarm clock is distorted pretty bad when alarm goes off, but you can still easily slide to disable it..

To Fix: Install Xposed Installer with PerAppSettings .apk , set alarm clock DPI to 160 and Screen(dpi) to 600x1024.

Lockscreen missed call/unread text slider is distorted in portrait only.

Fix: Using Xposed per app settings, set Android OS DPI to 160 and Screen(dpi) to 600x1024.

Flash .zip in CWM or TWRP recovery. This will wipe davik-cache.

may 16 fixed scipt umount should have been umount. oops..

Enjoy guys.

reserved for future. thanks.

wow, so swiping over nav button shows a google now pie shortcut.. did this do this in phablet ui?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Graffiti Exploit:

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] chrisrotolo:
Well after factory reset, these .zips seem to do nothing.. even with nova launcher. Strange indeed.

will do some more testing..

so far.. I think I'm going to have to rule this out , not working with touchwiz launcher.

as added to original post, this mod seems to only work on custom launchers which are set as default.

Also got some new wallpaper with this mod, see below.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] alexlau299:
Thank you for your work! It work great, just wondering is your mod adjust any dpi?:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] chrisrotolo:
No dpi changes, use xposed if you are interested.

Is it working great with custom launcher?, if so can we get the name of the one you are using, also have you attempted to use touchwiz launcher?

Iwouldnt even recommend trying to go back, you may get stuck..

will add this and recommend force stopping twhome launcher to OP later, busy now.

thanks guys.

Currently I am using Nova launcher

Multiwindow Mod

attn: chrisrotolo

Although I'm sure this is not the proper place to ask (and apologize if it annoys the op) but since you seem to be the only active developer for our device who is still attempting to modify stock i just wanted to know if u have spent any amount of time looking into porting the multiwindow mod to the P6200? Im not sure how familiar u are with the two distinct versions so far which can best be described as the 4.11 or phone/flashbar version and the 4.1.2 or tablet/floating windows version. At this point to get either working would be wonderful & a goal i'd be willing to brick my tab about(well maybe not literally but sum sacrifices must be made in the name of science...lol). Of course i've attempted the simpler solutions such as adding the permissions file & multiwindows jar which is enough to get the checkbox to appear in settings as well as the view selector controls to show up where the miniapps bar is located but obviously none of my attempts have been 100% successful. So far i have baksmali'd the various jars and have found almost all of the functionality to be intact when compared to the NOTE 10.1 which has the newest /preferred version of the multiwindow option but I must admit that i'm a complete newb when it comes to code so i thought i would seek sum assistance...that's if u even have the desire to dedicate sum time to tackle the task. If not, I only ask that u point me in the direction of someone with the time/knowledge/willingness to get it done because at this point i have become determined to do so. I have however done the least i can do which is read essentially EVERY post of EVERY thread on EVERY variation of the mod in an attempt to get an understanding of what i may be missing so below i will link to a couple of those of particular interests where they've had both success & failure.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2056515

^this is for the original note & although it includes uneccessary(but cool) extras this mod has not only been a success but would be the ideal version to get working imho

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2024227

^this a how to of of the older version of the mod for the galaxy s2(which as u know is the closest phone to our own device). Most of it applies to the newer version as well except the flashbar.apk itself which is not used anymore(i think...lol)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1988329

^this is the best breakdown i've found of the 2 different implementations & is actually written by the same guy that started the first thread i posted although again this is for the note/note 2

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2049516

^ even though after almost 100 pages of posts this one is still a failed attempt i felt it was important to note because these guys have dug through the code EXTENSIVELY so if it is in fact a deeper issue i'm sure they would be more familiar with what WONT work and plus the fact that it's a sgs2 variant i fear we may be in a similar situation.

p.s. i aplogogize about the huge post ahead of time & thx in advance for any insight u may offer
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] chrisrotolo:
Thanks.

I breifly glanced at the idea before.

I'm not real interested in the use/function actually.

I am interested in learning the prot/development part however. I also do not have much free time because of my job and married life.

When I do get a chunk of time, I will look into this for you and whoever may be interested.

I did see the SungSonic ROM at Tab 2 has an 'alfa5' version of multiwindow mod.

In the meantime, I encourage you to continue trying and feel free to email me if you need any assistance.

Thanks, Cheers.

Chris,

I installed it on my 6210. It works fairly nicely.

However, there is a problem with the updater-script.

Line 6:

umount("/data");

Needs to be

unmount("/data");

Thanks for mods. This and the ripple lock screen are really nice upgrades.

Thanks, both 6200 & 6210 script were misspelled, both fixed now. Sorry about that. Stock Phablet .zips look OK.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] luettsegler:
On my P6210, I noticed one bug in this mod: The notification panel grows over the top edge of the display in landscape mode when I have multiple notifications. I had the same problem using the Xposed TabletUI Trigger (which I tried before) mentioned in the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 forums.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] chrisrotolo:
Yes noticed that as well, im on PA ROM now so I cant try anything.

i would setting touchwiz home launcher and systemui to 160dpi and 600x1024.

The only thing i noticed going off screen is mostly the clock which isnt a huge deal.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] luettsegler:
Unfortunately, that doesn't work. Setting systemui to 160dpi and 600x1024 makes it crash after a reboot and setting Touchwiz launcher or Nova Launcher (which is the one that I use) to those settings doesn't change the size of the notification panel.

As you said, there's not much more than the clock off screen, but sometimes seeing the clock is useful to quickly check the date without leaving the current app. So if you or someone else finds a solution, please post here.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] unclefab:
I just found this thread, and it was exactly what I was looking for, two thumbs up mate! It works fine on my p6210 and since it's the second time you spoil my tab in the last three days I was thinking about asking you to become its godfather:)

I don't use touch wiz, and actually I uninstalled it, I use holo launcher hd instead.

I noticed two things:

1- the quick launch key can't launch the apps drawer, I guess it's because I don't use touch wiz. No worries, I will survive, I like holo launcher much more than touch wiz.

2-it works with any dpi, I currently use 120 for the system ui and everything goes the way it's supposed to, except the battery percentage that doesn't show whatever dpi I use, but it does when I open the notification drawer so no biggie.

I have one complain, not for the op but for Samsung:

why the h@#§ do you put the soft keys completely on the left in tablet mode? It was already the same on ics...

Since I don't expect Samsung to reply here I ask my tab's new godfather:

is there any way to remap the soft keys?

Last request, someone spoke about multi windows and I must say that yeah, that would be super great. I'm like you, I have a family and not much time, but the difference is that I'm less advanced than you in android matters, and eventhough I learn fast it would take me a lot of time to mod a working multi windows...

Anyway, thanks again for what you already did for our tab!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] chrisrotolo:
1.) I used to use the quick launch button for app drawer, worked for me..

Im using AOSPA (ParanoidAndroid 3.5) its really smooth.

If I were on stock, and I had time.(which I usually don't) I may be interested in more dev work. Samsung stuff isnt easy to dev for because of TW framework.

Im not really interested in multi window, due to the fact the windows are too small to do 2 things at once, I just use recent apps button to switch.

I think soft keys on the left are much more ergonomic then in the center! Im also a fan of the google search bar from honeycomb with the 6 square app dots in the top right, which Im currently using with Apex launcher.

If you dont like the soft keys, trry using Pie on PA, or LMT launcher with pie controls anywhere you want them.

There are a few pop up apps on the play store, such as pop up browser, etc.

So i FINALLY figured out multiwindow...its not perfect but it works. I'll make a post in a minute with a flashable zip & basic instructions for anyone else that may be intersted. I just wanted to know if i could get permission to post a version with your tabletui & 4way mod included because currently if u flash my zip it will remove your mods.
