[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] sisterchick:
Handy Hardware Button

Habit would probably be the best answer. I came to the Note 8 from a hacked Nook Color running CM10. I got accustomed to waking the device with the "n" hardware button. Like my old Nook, I put a non-slip bumper case on my Note 8 which makes pushing the power button to wake a little tedious. I also like to read in the dark and like the hardware key as a landmark for orientation when I pick it up with the lights off. Finally, I use the tablet in the kitchen on a stand for displaying recipes. I use a cheapest of the cheap $5 stylus in the kitchen to wake it up by pushing the hardware key and for scrolling pages so I don't get the tablet or the S-pen all gunked up with cookie dough from my fingers.:silly:

If you use your Note 8 in landscape mode, you'll soon wish all keys were physical, not capacitive.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] hertsjoatmon:
This is my concern, Im hoping that by using a case that goes over the bevel rather than sits flush with it, my palm will be less likely to brush against the back and menu capacitive buttons when playing games or drawing. My device should be arriving this evening so I will have to experiment to find my best solution. I dont want to mod the software to disble the buttons and get the traditional menu bar on the screen. I value the screen real estate. If they were physical buttons I wouldnt have this issue :(
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] tokugawa:
It's still a bit annoying to me in landscape mode, but in Portrait mode it's been actually quite fine (even drawing). Perfect would be an app that could just temporarily disable/toggle it (maybe via a small 1x1 widget). Then if I want to use it in landscape mode (or whenever Im going to use it in a way that could be annoying with the capacitive keys), I could simply turn it on.

I do like the physical/capacitive keys in general too, since I also value the screen real estate so I guess for me a toggle solution would be best. Maybe I'll investigate into it and make it myself...
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] farhanito:
Or you can add Home button as Multiwindow "app" with this

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Samper27:
Hi, there's a way for disabling the capacitive keys, just look under development here on this forum. The mod will disable the keys and require the S Pen to make them work (quite useful for landscape) to enable On-Screen Buttons you should try this (works on the Galaxy S3/Note/Note II) I haven't tested in the Note 8 but I will as soon as I get mine (by the end of this month).

Enable on-screen buttons:

You will need root access for this.

Install ES File Explorer File Manager on your Note from the Play Store. This is a file manager that will be used to edit those system files to enable/disable on-screen/soft buttons.

Open ES Explorer. Then, click the menu button on your device and click Settings. Here, tick the “Up to Root” option. Then go down and tick the “Root Explorer” option, then press Allow/Grant button when prompted to grant it root access. Then, tick the “Mount File System Option” as well. Once all three options are selected, press back to exit the settings.

Hit the Up on top in ES Explorer till you reach the outermost folder (till it says / at the top).

Go into the system folder, then scroll down to find the build.prop file (Copy this file to a Safe location!!).

Tap on this file to start editing it. If you get an “Open With” prompt, select “ES Note Editor”.

Now, at the end of the file (at the bottom after the last line), add the line “qemu.hw.mainkeys=0″ (without the ” quotes), then save the file (press the Menu button to see the Save option).

Then, reboot. After the boot up, you should have the virtual on-screen buttons on your screen.

How-to: disable the home button

The thread that Samper was referring to is at: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2250941

I can't post there yet, so I would like to add here that after disabling the menu/back buttons as described there, I worked out how to disable the home button. Following the same instructions as in the above link, also edit the gpio-keys.kl, changing the last line by adding a # to the beginning, so it looks like this:

#key 172 HOME WAKE

Now that all three buttons are completely dead (though the pen will still activate the menu/back buttons), I use LMT Launcher to provide pie controls at the bottom of the screen. Get it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1330150. PieControl from the Play Store is an easier-to-configure but less powerful alternative to LMT.

I'm tired of people bashing on these devs hard work, they have given so much and all you all can do is say how unstable the ROM is, if you don't like it don't use it. Because of your greediness it appears camcory has left, he will not receive messages and his most popular ROM thread has been closed. From now on if you run into a problem with a ROM, state the problem, not you personal opinion about the ROM. Why do you all think jocala doesn't dev anymore?

I'm done ranting for now but you all need to start respecting these devs before we lose them!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
That's fine what you're saying but again, this is where I have issues. If all people want to hear is how great they are or their work is always perfect they are doing it for the wrong reasons. People who do nothing but praise are called "fanboys" and don't contribute any useful info. If people are name calling or trashing somebody's work that's different. Anytime I mention issues I am always specific with what they are.

I have mentioned my gratitude many times but if that's all that people want to hear these forums are useless.

Like I said, state the issue nothing more. If people just stated the issue they have, then you wouldn't be hearing my rant. Its like going to McDonalds and complaining that the food isn't cooked the way you like it.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Dvarl:
This has been a problem on XDA for as long as I have been a member. There are a lot of people who just complain, or constantly say " fix it, fix it, fix it." Not everyone does this, but many do. Too many people forget that the Dev's are not obligated to release a rom or to even update it publicly. They do this for many different reasons. I agree state an issue, but part of the problem comes when an issue is overstated because people refuse to read. There is no reason to mention an issue 30 + times. Same goes for the questions that get repeated. Too many people want someone to come running to their aid. We were all noobs at one time, we learn by reading posts and trying ourselves. I just recently reread the rules and all of this is talked about there. I always appreciate our Developers and the work they release, even if it never leaves Alfa stage. I also appreciate the members who take the time to help others and offer good suggestions on a fix, or workaround. We should all keep in mind this question, if I were a Dev, would I want to deal with this?

End rant.

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
You are dead on about people harping on the same old crap all the time or saying "when is it going to be fixed?" They should just be ignored and eventually they will go away hopefully. It also doesn't help when so many senior members who had good comments to offer most of the time are now gone.

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Mwas.:
It's true that a lot of people don't do their research before asking questions. But what I find even worse is when people respond with answers like 2 weeks or bashing the person asking the question. I find it would be easier to just ignore or direct them to q&a rather than cluttering the development threads.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
Some people respond with "2 weeks" when ETAs are asked by another user, which is considered a major faux pas. I do agree however that when ETAs come up no one should respond. I also don't think anyone should be bashed however it's hard when you get some who just flat demand things and act like a Dev is asleep at the wheel or negligent for not posting a fix or update. It's hard to believe people actually will say stuff like "when you gonna fix it, huh?" Yes, that kind of English too.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] KindleUser:
It's like a hundred dswaggz going around asking them to fix the problem (originally he asked for ports, hey just saying XD)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] underscorenorm:
not all noobs are bad

I think this place is great! I haven't posted much because I'm not a dev. I have little to contribute other than my testing experiences and the occasional $5.

A year ago I would have told you rooting is pointless and custom ROMs are dangerous, but I've had a hugely positive experience with XDA and the roms these devs have released. Given the wide user appeal the site offers,(remember this is something for free, rare these days,) you can't hate on the people that don't get it.

It seems like XDA draws both those that have the open source mindset, and a very small minority of people that have no idea how a cell phone works, or could change a tire for that matter. They don't know what kind of time and effort goes into software and they don't care to know. These are people that can't help themselves. They see something cool and they want it.

Remember though, this is a small portion of people, so a better statement here, I think would be "occasionally, one of you is greedy."

Just my 2 cents.

But when I have my own work viewed over 50 thousand times and downloaded over 1500 times, and receive 75 thanks, then have people ask if I can do this or that or fix this or that, most of THEM not clicking "thanks," I understand how frustrating it can be...

The kdz part is confusing

Could you guide me through that?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] donk165:
Basically, when you want to root, you first send some files to your phone with ADB, but this isn't the rooting done. you have to reflash the kdz but replacing one of the update files with a modified one. This runs a small script which puts superSU and the binaries in the right place so you then have root access when the kdz flashing is complete. The offline flasher doesn't do anything to your data partition so your only refreshing the system directory.

I think that's how the lelus root method works, I may need to be corrected.

As long as you follow the guide precisely, rooting is easy, it's the prerequisites that put people off I think.

Has anyone else had issues with popping or crackling while listening to AAC audio? I notice it a lot with Pandora, and they use the AAC codec, it's not clipping, or audio drop out from bad connection, but it has a very apparent crack or pop every few seconds. It has made Pandora useless for me. I've tried both Cognition, and Nocturnal, thinking that maybe it was a mod issue.

Thanks,

J

Nevermind. If anyone else has these issues, a quick search will reveal that turning off Adblocking software fixes this issue...don't know why...but it does.

For anyone wondering, I was using AdFree 0.8.47. I tried simply uninstalling the application, which didn't work, you have to revert the host files back to normal. Does anyone know of an adblocking option that works well with audio programs?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] link12245:
I'm afraid that's not it at all. I'm using a version of Pandora that has all the ads removed, so it shouldn't affect it's ability to play regular music. I will try adaway, thanks for the suggestion.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] link12245:
I'm saying that doesn't make sense because the version of Pandora I'm using has the advert framework removed. How could it block something that isn't there? Comparing it to a vhs copy wasn't a good comparison.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] orangekid:
Cleaned.

I am going to leave this open because there seems to be a valid question regarding ad-blocking and Pandora, but let this not get personal.

If you think OP is not going to listen to your suggestions or is not of sufficient cranial capacity to engage in discussion, please do not reply and he will be bereft of your help.

If you think someone's reply is flawed in logic, please respectfully reply such. Nothing wrong with disagreeing or even getting into a heated debate, so long as it does not become personal or flamethrowers come into the picture.

[Nook Touch General] gallo2fire:
So i'm trying to modify an image in framework-res.apk but every time I try to push in the new one I get stuck in bootloops and have to format. I have tried a bunch of ways of accomplishing this from using adb wirless to push to the framework folder, to using CWM to install it inside a zip file but they all just cause bootloops. Also I found that if I were to copy framework-res.apk to somewhere else and then not touch it and copy it back, it would still cause a bootloop! So basically the act of trying to replace the current apk is always causing bootloops. Anyone find a fix for this?
[Nook Touch General] quiritius:
There is something wrong with the modification you make to the framework-res.apk which makes it corrupt. Normally, you can copy the file from SD card into /system/framework/ and the NST would just restart. Also mind the rermissions of the file, just make it the same as all the other files in that directory.

To save time when you brick your device, use noogie instead of format. Just copy the old framework-res.apk back in (you should previous make a back of it).

For modification, use the APK-Multi-Tool. This might help you avoid some problems with repackaging.

I've been through two feature phones and three smart phones and I never used a case until this one. For previous phones I would at most put a skin on them. I dropped my last two phones (Palm Pre and Nexus S) from ~2 feet a few times and each time it landed on a corner. No major damage, just scuff marks. The reports across the web are that the S4 doesn't hold up too well in comparison to other phones when dropped. The screen runs right to the corner which makes me worry. That plus the phone being so much larger (and harder to hold on to) made me decide to go for a case. I went with the Spigen Neo Hybrid, and I think it's great. Doesn't add much thickness, looks great and should protect the phone.

Today I went shopping for alternatives while waiting for the Spigen Neo Hybrid I ordered from across the atlantic, and stumbled across Samsungs own Protective Cover +. I had no idea what I was buying, but thought it could be worth the 20 bucks. Turns out it's actually a pretty solid case, with a sturdy polycarbonate back and what looks like TPU all around the sides. It even has holes on one of the corners to fit wrist straps and such.

I'm not a big fan of the grey TPU for the white version, but other than that I'm really impressed. Despite its name it's probably no more protective than a basic TPU shell though, in particular because it doesn't add more than a millimeter height to the edge of the screen.
