[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Crelox:
I posted this question in the general Q&A forum, but it may be more pertinent to post my question in this device specific forum...

I am running the MDOB rom with the newest version and it appears that VZW has more deeply removed blocking mode from being accessed. I used to use quickshortcutmaker to create a back door icon for blocking mode, but since updating, the blocking mode appears completely removed. Any attempt to find or access blocking mode causes the settings app to crash. \

Unfortunately, blocking mode still appears enabled, but I can no longer access it to modify it or turn it off. Any suggestions on a solution? Are there any ROMs using the latest VZW software release that have a blocking mode toggle modded in?

Hey,

I had a few questions regarding an unlocked bootloader.

1. Where are all the DRM keys/other stuff erased during the unlocking procedure found.

Is it possible to backup those partitions and then restore them after backing them up?

2. Regarding relocking the bootloader, would a home made SUS based ftf be enough or are there specific ftf files just for relocking.

3. Has anyone gone to the service centre after unlocked in India, specifically Bangalore. Do they check if bootloader is unlocked?

Thanks

Can anyone port real multi windows to galaxy grand?

I mean, not this basic multi window limited to two static windows that we have but the real stuff, with unlimited resizable floating windows, like here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2312004

I installed it on my galaxy tab and it's awesome, I can open as many windows as I want, minimise or maximise them like in a computer, pin them to keep them always on the screen, open any app as a window by just clicking its icon from the flash bar etc.

It would be really nice to have it on our grand, wouldn't it?:)

Thanks in advance to whoever will do it!
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Themes and Apps] DBZo07:
Nice concept!! Worth to have! [MENTION=4532929]chotu222[/MENTION] and [MENTION=943196]k2wl[/MENTION] knows such modifications!

[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Themes and Apps] unclefab:
Well I hope that they will have a look at it, but to be honest I hoped that you would as well since you made many mods for the grand:)
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Themes and Apps] DBZo07:
yes sir, you right!

Oh pardon me!tbh, bali, k2wl and chotu222 did alot for this device.. lets hope for best! Or else getting a separate section wasn't possible.

[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Themes and Apps] unclefab:
So it's been two weeks and nobody had taken the challenge?

I mean I don't expect such a mod to be achieved quickly, but I just would like to know if anyone is working on it or no...

floating windowed mode

i think we might need each other's help....i see that u are interested in getting floating window working for the galaxy grand and i'm trying to help the galaxy advance guys get their multi window mod working(the advance does NOT include multi by default) so i was thinking if we can figure it out then it MIGHT work for them also. If u are willing to try a few flash zips and file replacements then i'm wiling to help....of course u know i don't own a grand so i would be depending upon your reports. What i need to know first is will your phone still boot at 160 dpi and if so...does it change the ui from phone to phablet/tablet?
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Themes and Apps] THEDEVIOUS1:
[MENTION=4703661]unclefab[/MENTION]

lets start simple...first add the line qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 to your build prop. Next...delete the "com.sec.feature.multiwindow.phone.xml" in "system/etc/permissions" then place the 2 files below in the same location (don't forget to set proper permissions).

edit: If u are on MF7(actually shouldnt matter) u can just flash the zip below (i would try it anyway...just be sure to backup before u begin) or u can pull the 2 permissions files and do it manually...the package already has the build prop edited with the above line and dpi is set to 160 but may need to be changed to 200/213

View attachment 2129873

^TEST1 (flash or pull & manuallly place permissions files...don't forget to set perms & delete phone.xml either way)
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Themes and Apps] BEingNiCK:
boots fine 160, 120 , 180 , 200 , 220 , 240 dpi

no phone to tablet or phablet ui change, its same as before just small icons , text as usual stuff

hw menu keys 0 working fine

---------- Post added at 03:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:42 PM ----------

for grand some modification are needed to multiwindow, cause the x mark does not appear even on default or modified multiwindow

i made floating window work for a while but when i tried too reboot it stuck in bootloop later giveup
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Themes and Apps] unclefab:
Aaah, my savior:)

Ok, I put your files, rebooted and...

... nothing happened, except that I don't have the multi windows feature anymore (the icon in the notification bar and the option in settings)...
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Themes and Apps] THEDEVIOUS1:
The one in the notification bar will disappear once u delete phone.xml...the one in settings should show up when u add tablet.xml which means u probably need to check permissions. Also....even though u dont see the toggle try to hold the back button to see if the bar pops out.(not important right now though) Did the buttons & mini apps arrow appear at the bottom of the screen and if so...does it work when u press it?

Oh yeah....install this xposed multi window manager module and enable some apps then reboot and look for the maximize/restore icon

^xposed multiwindow manager
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Themes and Apps] unclefab:
I set up the right perms from the beginning mate :)

I have the xposed multi windows manager from before, with all apps allowed.

But no fun, pushing the back button doesn't do anything, No mini tray arrow, unlike with the tab 7...

By the way, thank you to take in charge this thread, cuz the "devs" here in grand forum seem to be more interested with fancy colours in their notification bar or s4 wallpapers.

But at their credit I have to admit that floating multi window is harder to realise than changing colors in the system ui:)
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Themes and Apps] THEDEVIOUS1:
floating mode is dependent upon dpi...did u try changing it to 213 or 200?
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Themes and Apps] unclefab:
Which dpi? For the whole phone? Or for a specific app?

Ok, let me try first with some specific apps.

Another problem is that the grand flashbar doesn't display properly if it's dpi is below 230, I had tried previously. It appears, but the lower part is missing and its impossible to edit it.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Themes and Apps] THEDEVIOUS1:
The whole phone...dont worry about the flashbar for right now. Once we get floating mode working we'll replace it with a multi dpi version or just change settings in app settings module...we really want the mini bar to work right now but more importantly we need the maximize/resize icon to appear
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Themes and Apps] unclefab:
Ok, so I try to put the whole phone dpi's at 200.

I've just tried 200 and 213 with some apps but it doesn't work...

One second, I'll be soon back:)
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Themes and Apps] unclefab:
So I've changed density in ro.sf.lcd.density to 200, and after reboot to 213. But it still doesn't work...
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Themes and Apps] THEDEVIOUS1:
TEST2

ok, so...according to xperiacle u should be going LOWER with the dpi so u may want to try to set the whole phone between 120-130. If that doesn't work...try this new zip below while i brainstorm (translation sleep...lol)

[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Themes and Apps] unclefab:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IceTi:
Hi

is there an Intent or something like this when I´m connected to a hotspot which wants a confirm or an login (like in hotels)?

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phishfi:
I'm not sure what exactly you mean.

If you're asking if there's an intent by android for giving you this prompt, it's because you have to log in for android to connect to the network and start receiving push notifications.

If you're asking if there's a reason for the hotspot owner to force you to "log in" in order to give you internet access, it's usually so you'll agree to their terms of service, which probably include them using the information based on what sites you visit for data mining, or making sure you agree not to cause harm to the network (downloading too much, uploading malicious software to the network, naughty sites, etc).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IceTi:
That´s what I mean... I know why I have to agree and so...

My question was, if there is something like an intent when this "log in question" is displayed in the notifivcation bar?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phishfi:
Gotcha, yeah Android just does that to let you know that there's a log in screen which is stopping any of your push notifications from coming through. Google wants you to log in to their wifi so they can start pushing you the emails, updates, etc, that you need.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IceTi:
Hmm.. I think we're still talking past each other :)

If there is a free Hotspot where the user have to agree to the term etc or have to login with an user name ... then there is notification...

How can i react to that notification?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phishfi:
When you click it, android opens a browser that sends you to the login page (Android assumes that the hotspot will redirect any page request to the login page). By doing this, it's letting you get to the login page more easily than forcing you to open the browser and a new tab just to go to that page(in case you're in another app that pings for data) .
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IceTi:
Yes I know... I just want that my App is notified when this notification comes... is this possible?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IceTi:
I attached the notification I mean. So is there any possibility to get information (maybe via WifiManager) if the Wifi I´m connected to wants this login, before I have an internet connection?

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] PostMeridianLyf:
Literally 5 minutes ago, my beloved s3 t999 fell about 2 ft off my lap onto gravel and the entire screen is cracked now. I have a UAG case that has protected it from worse falls.

Anyways, i pay insurance to T mobile which is 9 bucks a month. However, they want me to pay a $150 deductible for a replacement when I could have sworn the insurance was supposed to cover damage because when I decided to get the insurance the T mobile rep told me I only had to pay deductible for theft.

A new screen on ebay is much cheaper, and i have fixed phone screens before so it shouldn't be anything new (pretty sure there are plenty of tutorials out there anyway).

Insurance or fix it myself? If i go insurance, ill have to return my phone back to stock and reset the flash counter which is something I really don't feel like doing, but will if I have to.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] PostMeridianLyf:
Never mind about using their insurance. Was just informed that the s4 upgrade was only $150, so I'm going to get the s4, then order a screen for the s3 and sell the s3 back to someone else. Profit?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Da Kine:
The S4 is $150 down, then $20 a month for 24 months.

The most I've seen an S3 sell for (since the S4 came out) is right around $330.

You could buy the glass yourself and fix it, but there's the chance of screwing up the digitizer.

I would just go through T-Mobile, you're paying for insurance every month for a reason, right?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Sajoeee:
Go with screen !

You should stop paying for the insurance , and get the s4... but i hope you know its 150$ DOWN, Plus 20$ a month added to your monthly bill. and you pay 20$ a month until you pay the full price of S4 off. And if you dont feel like doing that. I RECOMMEND to buy a screen and cancel your insurance because your really paying 9$ for nothing ! But be sure you buy the right screen because you can get scammed ! Be aware. :cyclops:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EtherealRemnant:
If you make an insurance claim you don't have to return it to stock. That's just for warranty purposes. Insurance covers anything you do to your device which is why there is a deductible.

As for replacing the screen it's not a simple task. I wouldn't waste the money.

And as was pointed out, the S4 is 150 down and 20 dollars a month for 24 months.

If you are not on a value plan you may be able to get the S4 with an upgrade contract but I believe those are 199 and up.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gypsy214:
Tmobile dont do contracts no more.. The only way is to finance the phone. Unless you go to walmart I think they still do contracts on tmobile
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EtherealRemnant:
T-Mobile does not directly do contracts but third parties do. Its the only way they could keep selling T-Mobile service.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] PostMeridianLyf:
Already got the s4. Was 150, 190 after tax. I didnt want to soend 150 repairing the s3 if I could just get an s4.

Anyway, still going to attempt to fix the s3.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] PostMeridianLyf:
Oh and yeah, 20 extra on the he bill but it evened out when they made the changes to our bill to include tethring. Apparently we were already paying more than for what plans we had...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EtherealRemnant:
Enjoy the S4 and good luck fixing your S3 :)

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] PostMeridianLyf:
Nexus 4? Better than s4?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gypsy214:
In my opinion no.... And now that even a Google edition is coming out.. It means that the TW base s4 will have more stable aosp experience. I got the s3 and n4 last year and gave the n4 to my gf, because i knew i could flash aosp to my s3 and have the same as that n4... She is not rooted and she hates me because mine aosp roms are better than her stock aosp..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] PostMeridianLyf:
Gotcha. I take it s4 hardware is better too? I should search it up but too lazy. Besides, loving this s4!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EtherealRemnant:
Everything in the S4 is an upgrade from the N4. The S4 has the latest and greatest tech on all fronts except the camera compared to other smartphones on the market.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] PostMeridianLyf:
Really? And I'm siting here thinking 13mp is ridiculous for a phone haha.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EtherealRemnant:
The One has better low-light capture and 100% crop images although it really depends on what you're trying to do with it - for me, 4MP prints just wouldn't cut it. Way too small of an image.

The best camera on a smartphone is the 41MP on the Nokia 808 Pureview by most accounts.

Don't get me wrong, the S4 has a great camera but the sensor is still too small for pics in darker environments and the lack of optical image stabilization can make for a blurry image.

The 808 isn't even WP - its Symbian! Rumor is they are coming out with a WP EOS phone with another super camera... might be interested in that but yeah it sucks they use Windows Phone although a lot of my friends switched to WP8 and love it.

Well the 808 is a few years old to boot... Its an old Symbian phone... Nokia is rumored to be working on a new version... If that old tech can kick the crap out of the newest tech or at least match it (it blows everything away with low light which was HTC's only big selling point on that camera), imagine what a newer version would do!

Is there an other way to restore a backup? I don't care about SMS MMS and stuff, I only want to keep settings as BT GPS, Internet GPRS settings, tt3 Navigator settings and so on. Contacts and Agenda are stored on the PC anyway. And I wanna use the Blackberry which was on it after the upgrade but is gone after the restore.

Or should I simply re flash the ROM and reenter all data for settings manually?
