[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Citizen Snips:
any specific install instructions?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
I'm going to make a very simple assumption:

You currently have a custom recovery (either TWRP or CWM).

If you don't you'll have to follow the

following guide

to get a custom recovery. I don't really feel like walking you through that right now..

The directions should be very similar to those flashing a Rom. The instructions will be for TWRP, but CWM has similar options/settings

Copy the zip file over to your SD Card.

Turn your phone completely off (hold down power for 3-5 seconds)

Boot your phone into recovery. Hold Up, Menu, and Power for a few seconds (until SAMSUNG appears on your screen and the phone vibrates)

Make a Nandroid backup. I can't emphasize this enough. In flashing, it's almost a certainty that one time, something will mess up. When that happens, you want to be able to restore a backup. In TWRP, just go into Backup Menu and choose where you want it (internal vs. External storage). It takes my phone a few (5-10) minutes to completely backup my data. I typically backup everything.

In TWRP, click the wipe button, then advanced, then cache/dalvik cache. You don't need to do a factory reset for this. I don't even know if you have to wipe cache, but it's always best to.

Go back to the TWRP main menu.

Click Install, then find the zip file (may have to switch from internal to external storage).

Let TWRP do it's thing.

Reboot into system.

Check your "about phone" in settings to see if you're on the MD4 baseband.

Hope this helps!

This is just this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2251788

but with the t-mobile build.prop. I've replaced it with the stock build.prop. ALL CREDIT GOES TO homeslice976!

This mod will remove the on screen 3 dot menu bar and restore the Option under Settings/Display, Gestures, and Buttons for Back Button Options, letting you choose Press for back, press and hold for menu (as shows in the screenshot). This mod will not enable Menu functionality in Prism (the sense launcher). This will work on Stock/Rooted, odexed or deodexed. Flash in recovery, wiping dalvik and cache afterwards is necessary. Contains a slightly modified Settings and build.prop with a line added to remove the 3 dot menu bar - built from T-mobile's 1.27

Also included is a mod to enable the back button settings, but leave the 3 dot menu bar. And one will go back to stock Settings. Note that this is based off of the ATT software like stated above. If you've flashed this to another build, and you want to go back to stock, you need your Settings.apk. If you're stock ROM was odexed, you also need Settings.odex. Put them both (with 7zip on a PC) in /system/app/ of the bk2stock zip and flash away. Not a bad idea to also use your stock build.prop if you're going back

The attached file is for turning off the 3 dot menu ONLY. It works perfectly. v2 In combination with something like faux's kernel you'll get both the HTC logo to menu and the removal of the 3 dot menu.

To download the long press back mod go here.

[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] tevinwade:
Does this take away all 3 dot menus. e.g The menu in gmail AND the black, software button you would see in Facebook? Otherwise this should work perfectly for me since I already have the menu button mapped to the HTC Logo.

Hi,

I had a good idea for a XDA holder!

I used a spare belt clip and flat black mounting bracket.

See Carclip.jpg

I just clip my XDA onto the clip, attach the GPS/Car charger, connect it to the car radio via a stereo tape adaptor and you are ready to go!!!

See Carkit.jpg

The only thing is, the XDA leans with you as you take the corners, while you driving.

Cheap setup, but it does the job for now. :lol:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SeriesOfTubes:
I have my alarm, notification, and ring tones set to one notch above 0 and the alarm still makes me jump out of bed and I jump anytime my phone rings. Does anyone else think their ONE is incredibly loud? I can't imagine setting the volume to anything over 20%. :eek:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] earlyberd:
You can make it noticeably quieter by enabling Beats.

Aside from that, yes, it is a very loud phone by default.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WolfDale7:
This is going to sound a tad odd, but I think that the lowest volume is not low enough and the highest setting can definitely be higher!

The lower end of the volume should be a tad less. Enough for you to hear it in a quiet room, but not enough to fill up the quiet room (currently the case)

The higher end should drown other devices, but at the current software # version, it only beats other devices by a slight margin...

Think Devs are on this (increasing the max, decreasing the min), but I actually don't have confirmation -- just something that seems logical..

Anyway, hopefully things work themselves out and lower gets lower while higher gets slightly louder =] (maybe add some volume points)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] me2cute2c:
Hey Guys!!!

I wish there was a quicker way to get all this out so let's get started:

A few weeks ago, I bought a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 from a coworker. When she gave me the phone, she left the sim card in the phone. So I made a test call. Forgetting that sim cards store info about the plan and such other important info, I trashed her sim card and went to a corporate Verizon store for my own sim card. I couldn't use my sim card because my other phone is an iPhone 5 that has a nano sim card and I didn't have a sim card adapter. As soon as the Verizon representative put the sim card in and started up the phone the activation screen popped up and started to activate, finally realizing the activation was taking extremely longer than normal the vzw rep told me to let it continue to activate while you go home, if it doesn't work try again. So I did what I was told, needless to say the phone would never activate. So I called customer service to get my iPhone 5 activated since the Galaxy s3 wasn't working. I was then told that it couldn't happen because my service was stuck in a switch that wouldn't end until midnight and then I could call the next day to reactivate. The next day after customer service sent me another sim card the same thing happened. After going through 4 sim cards the same thing happened. I then called Samsung Support and sent my phone to them, they claimed it was fix but the only thing that was done was they upgraded my firmware to 4.1.2 and fixed my charging port which wasn't messed up since the phone charged before I sent it off. At my wits end I got desperate, I cut up on of the "damaged" sim cards and put it in my iphone 5, immediately it activated itself without me even having to log on the vzw website. I then took the sim card out and put it back into the galaxy s3 with the sim adapter I purchased and the activation box never came up. Instead I called customer service and they tell me that the iphone 5 is still active on my account even though the iphone 5 has no sim card in it and is turned off. The online vzw tech informed me that the system wouldn't let them switch the imei numbers on the phone. Long story short I have what I think is an unrooted phone that won't activate.

P.S. The phone isn't lost or stolen. I asked them and he said no them system would've flagged the phone.

My questions are what do you guys think is wrong with the phone? Is this normal? Can it be fixed? If so, how? What would you do? What should I do?

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Bridge66:
I rooted my NT using Indirect's method well over a year ago and installed the OTA blocker and am at version 9.9.9. I was using Button Savior to let me choose between stock and ADW Launcher. However, my boy was using the NT and somehow he changed the function of the "Home button" of the Button Savior and the window letting you choose does not come up when you press it. I can get to the Button Savior "buttons", but they don't do anything. Now I can't remember for the life of me how I can get to the ADW Launcher root and am stuck in the stock screens. Anyone know how to solve this problem? It's probably really easy, but it's been too long since I did the initial root for me to remember.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] johnseeking:
It's been a while, but I seem to remember you could use the stock search tool to start typing in an app's name (e.g., "ADW,") and it would pop up as a result. Once in there, you should be able to muddle around with the default actions, or re-enable button savior. Hope this helps!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Bridge66:
That was it! Then, I had to go back to the default settings on Go Launcher and then the choice between home screens was asked again and button savior started working. Thanks!

This is kind of a common knowledge thing. But just in case someone out there isn't aware of this simple little application (that is free to download) I thought I would share it here.

I have included the application in the zip file. It's pretty self explanatory to use but if you have a question just post it and someone will know the answer.

1. Download the package and unzip.

2. Run the application "ApkInstaller"

3. Drag and drop your APK files into the application

4. Connect your device to your PC via USB

5. Right click anywhere inside the application and select all APKs

6. Run installer

7. Wait for it to finish and enjoy

Hey there guys!

I picked up this phone on the day it came out and have been keeping up with literally every development thread - first on the normal GS4 forum and then on the sprint one once it was made.

I have been waiting until some of the quirks with the root methods and recoveries have been worked out before getting into all of that.

First, at this time what is the most stable method of getting root at this time? From what I have read mottochop works but there have been some problems with people their data once rooted, and I don't know if this is related but Qbking77's thread on the how to root with the mottochop method is no longer up. And there is the chain fire method and then I think it's Crawjr's tar I can flash through Odin to get SU and busybox, but the last couple posts in that thread are indicating some issues.

EDIT: QBKing77's was stickied and I was on my phone was posted, and I usually only ever go on XDA on my phone so I didn't notice. Oops!

So what would be the best way to root at this time?

Secondly, what is the most safest and most stable recovery at this time - from my understanding it seems Shabbys OUHDS CWM seems to be working the best for everyone, while TWRP is having some touch sensitivity and navigation issues but from the posts it is hard to gauge exactly problematic the issue is.

So secondly, what is the best recovery to go with at this time and using which method?

Just a FYI, I'm planning on installing Slim Rom once I get rooted and install a custom recovery.

And lastly, I feel that it would be helpful and productive to get this information out clearly! With all development in varying stages of alpha and beta development, and at the rapid pace it is progressing, some with less experience may find it difficult to understand what's going with the various methods and such. And yes people who don't know what they're doing shouldn't be messing around with their phones this early but plenty are going to anyway, so we should try and minimize any confusion and problems for our XDA community members!

Thanks for the help in advance and I am really excited for the great developers that have already started working on our device and those that will be coming soon! Let's get our development just as popping as it was on the sprint GS3!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] lafester:
I'm using twrp right now but plan on revisiting all the recoveries again soon.

To root all you do is odin your recovery and then flash superuser .zip. no need to use any other method at this time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Inline:
Are the navigation/touch sensitivity problems on TWRP not affecting actual usage? Or have they been sorted out, cause it isn't exactly clear on the thread.

Got it! Odin recovery and flash SU.

Any particular place/version/etc to download the SU zip? EDIT: TWRP recognizes if you don't have SU installed and asks if you want for it to install for you, is that a viable way to install root - I wouldn't know because I have never installed root through TWRP, or a recovery before root for that matter.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] lafester:
I'm sure its safe worst that would happen is your not rooted and you can try again with a .zip.

One of the recovery threads has superuser posted in the op I think it is shabbys.
