I've searched for over an hour and came up empty handed. I want to remap my Recent Apps button to be a Menu button. I found a mod to do this on my DNA and I love it. Ideally, pressing it would be Menu and long pressing would be Recent Apps (just like my DNA). Does anyone know of a mod to do this? I'm on stock ROM, unlocked and rooted. Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dancershrink:
I don't know of any way on the stock rom. I am currently running an AOKP based rom and you can customize the buttons. The same is true for most custom roms.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] oldblue910:
So last night, I decided to go to an AT&T store to buy an LTE Note 8.0 only to find that the first three of the corporate stores I called didn't have any in stock. Finally, the fourth store I called had two left. So I went over there fully expecting to pay the full unlocked $499 price. To me, it didn't make sense to lock myself in for two years when I'd only save $100 over full retail.

When I walked in, though, I was helped by the store manager. He gets the tablet for me and then goes to look up my account info so he could convert my plan to a MobileShare. He saw that I bought a Galaxy S4 about 40 days ago and, much to my surprise, offered me the smartphone bundle promotion, which meant I could get the tablet on contract for $199. I knew about the promotion but just assumed I wouldn't qualify since I bought the phone before the Note 8.0 even launched.

Needless to say, saving $300 over full retail WAS enough to get me to go contract. There's great customer service and then there's the service I received last night. The manager totally didn't have to do that for me but offered without me even asking. :good:
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Lymon23:
Awesome! Gratz to hear about your saving. Att never did me wrong, even when they rep accidentally took away my unlimited data, I just call customer service and they just me back on unlimited data.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] cataloochee:
I had a similar experience. I purchased an S4 but the Note 8 available when I purchased it. When it was to be released by AT&T my AT&T Sales person called me to let me know it would be available on the morrow and they had 5 in the store and further that even though I had purchased my S4 16 days previous AT&T would give me the promo bundle price of $199.00. That is stellar service in my opinion.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] phoenixbennu:
lol. Dealers do this all the time. They get people into promotions (most which they can find a way to make happen so long as its not too far outside the box).

The dealer did not do it to be helpful, which is the sad thing. Dealers, including managers, make more commission off contracts than they do off devices. So he would have made more commission still with that contract than having you spend money on devices. They do this because the company makes more money having you pay the monthly service cost than by having you buy a full cost phone or tablet.

In essence, it takes a company 18-24 months to make back the subsidized cost of a device. That means that 199 bucks you paid, you will pay back the missing 300 bucks on the plan after typically 18 months. Then they get 6 months of profit. So you do actually pay for the device for full cost anyways.,,,and they just extended out how long between upgrades and by the time you get around to actually being eligible for upgrade they may be extending it out further. The current discussions in the industry are talking about 3 year contracts and 2+ year upgrades.

What you have to consider is the lifetime cost of service and the device. They want you to buy a tablet. It makes you pay for their service, instead of just tethering your phone to the tablet. Tethering is cheaper, not contracts, and you wind up paying A LOT LESS even if you pay full cost for the device.

Truth is that ATT customers typically pay close to 1-2K more than many of the carriers that charge full cost for a device. Basically that 300 bucks you saved cost you at least a grand more in the end, and the manager who was "helping" you basically just weasled you into a contract where you will pay more for a separate plan for the tablet instead of just using cheaper tethering options (considering you still share data regardless) and he just got a good commission out of you.

Sad but true. You just got suckered.

How do I know? Nearly 7 years working in the wireless industry. Some of that time with AT&T and a great deal of that time with retail agents and retail policy.

I'm not trying to be a downer, but I hate AT&T dealers. After working for them for so long, Ive come to find that just about every single dealer if about as underhanded as a used car salesman trying to sell you a lemon and convince you its a ferrari. I used to see the dealers in my home town and my normal reaction to them is equivalent to the thought of "you sick bastard."

I do not know how many "deals" a dealer has done that I have had to fix, but typically even if their promises are kept they still use you and screw you over.

Ive even heard dealer chatter. How they talk about customers and think of customers as no more than a mark to be scammed so they can get their next commission. Ive seen more respect for their "victims" from the criminals on "to catch a predator."
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] cataloochee:
While your statements are true they are not necessarily accurate. The only way a person would have been "suckered" is if he didn't know what you describe. But almost all consumers realize that there is no free lunch and that the choice of purchasing outright or monthly result in the full price of the device being paid. The only difference is when payment accrues and how much the final cost will be. No different than purchasing a vehicle or a home.

In addition, the accuracy of your claim of being suckered depends on whether the purchaser bought because of the lower initial price or because he wanted the device in any case. In my case I had already decided to purchase the Note 8 from AT&T and only awaited the availability of the Note 8 at AT&T as I wanted the LTE data option. Thus, my only decision was whether to pay full price or add a two year contract to my account. Since I would have to have a data plan from AT&T to use the LTE feature in any case I needed to have an additional phone line. So I was able to get the regular discounted price or pay full price plus the new line costs (these I would pay no matter how I purchased the device and would last as long as I wanted to use the device). With the additional bundle price I decided to purchase at $199 instead of $399. Of course I realize I will pay full price over the next 24 months including the premium for purchasing by installment. But I knew that, considered it, and choose to do it. Thus, I made a considered decision and was not "suckered".

And clearly the sales staff is trying to sell devices and services that bring them the greatest commission. That's what they do for a living. The consumer knows that too. Maybe the real "suckers" are those sales people that think that they are being really "sharp".

Bruce
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] oldblue910:
Same here. I don't feel suckered. I walked into the AT&T store fully planning on paying $499 full retail for the tablet. The contract price was $399 and it wasn't worth it to me to lock myself in for 2 years purely to save $100 off retail. However, when I was offered $199 for the tablet, now we're talking about saving $300 over retail up front and that WAS worth it to me as far as locking myself in for two years. I was able to put the $300 toward something else and I love having an LTE tablet. Win-win. It's only being "suckered" if you're led to believe one thing and something different actually happens. I knew what I was getting into.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Dubee24:
Nice that's great that they took care of you.. In reality I think you came out on top because if they switched you to mobile share you are only payin $10 a month for that line being locked in for the next 2 years would be $240 so by being in contract you actually get the device for $60 less than full retail.. Great stuff had a similar experience and that's what pushed me over the edge to get it
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] rktcool:
Hello all,

after a rather once-in-a-blue-moon stint at xda, I was able to finally get going on a mod of my own! Well, it is just a few change of colors in an app.

I am using a GT-S6102 running stock ROM and Compact kernel by Deadly.

I know it isn't much, guessing by the standards of the people around here - but I though it would be good for noobs like me, and so here I am!

WHAT I DID

Nothing much. I did the following:

Pull out the Mms.apk and Mms.odex from /system/app/

Deodex the application using baksmali and smali

add classes.dex into the apk with 7zip

decompile the apk with apktool

make a few changes to the images (and hence the look of the app)

package it back

install it with adb, by pushing it to /system/app/ after removing the original apk and odex from /system/app/

AND A QUESTION, PLEASE!

I tried to find a complete tutorial from A to Z for this process, but didn't find anything that was COMPLETE and SELF-SUFFICIENT (i.e. Doesn't get away with partial information).

Is it a good idea to make one here, or has everyone had enough of those tuts? Please post your comments in the thread.

And for those interested, here is the modified apk.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cpt.Geary:
This is slightly bizarre but my Samsung Galaxy S i9000 believes it is a tablet. I know this because when I downloaded Whatsapp, it said: Note: Tablets are currently not supported. Furthermore when I downloaded a game called Indestructible it started off the game as if the phone was a tablet (tablet starts with a different car to phones). Honestly, I'm quite confused.

Before all of this happened I had Icy Glitch v14 kernel flashed onto my phone and my phone had worked perfectly. Then after a few months it went into 2 bootloops; I recovered from the first one but then I couldn't reboot into recovery so I gave it to a man who fixed it - I don't know what he did but he fixed my phone and returned it to it's stock settings. After that I re-flashed Icy Glitch v14 kernel and my Samsung Galaxy S worked like before, except for the phone thinking it was a tablet.I then flashed a Semaphore kernel to see if it would make any difference but it didn't. Any Ideas on how I could persuade my phone it is a phone again??????

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeathMetal King:
I have had my note 2 for 8 months now. Only recently i have heard about the screen burn in issue that is the low life of the screen especially the blue pixels. since i have to use this phone for another 2.5 years or such, what should i do about this? can i get the screen repalced while my warranty is still there and what do i say?

pls help!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedicemaster:
blue shouldn't really be a problem.

they made the blue subpixels bigger to compensate for their shorter lifespan.

you can also increase your screen's lifespan by using primarily black wallpapers, black themed apps, and night mode in browsers and e-book apps.

a convenient bonus is that this way you'll also increase your battery life, because it costs almost no power to display black on an OLED screen.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bushako:
I started having the burn in effects after 6months of usage. And it doesn't follow a pattern it's just a random mark that shows on grey colours. I doubt your warranty will cover that as its a widespread issue that Samsung seems to shy away from, but you won't lose anything if you try to get a replacement just make sure you can easily replicate this issue when you try to show it to the service center.

How to root Samsung Galaxy Star Duos (GT - S5282)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] crohit911:
Root s5282

Samsung galaxy star can be rooted easily with cydia impactor. Google "Cydia Impactor" and download(8 MB- wndows) the compatible version on your desktop.

Now install adb drivers, along with your phone drivers(don't need to do this if you use kies, it installs the drivers automatically)

Now enable USB Debugging from Developer options. connect your phone to your computer. Start impactor and select "# drop SuperSU su to /system/xbin/su" though the option is default if you don't find it select it from the drop down menu and click start.

It'll install the binaries into the "/system/xbin/su" folder.

Now go to play store and download a superuser app "supersuser" or "super su" this helps in managing the root permissions given to apps and update your su binary.

Done!

You have successfully rooted your phone, Enjoy.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] purplekush:
been trying to find something for a while with no luck... I think its a great service, and the app isn't even that bad, but sometimes I just need that music to stream through another music program for a certain feature or option... or just because I say so! lol

(Most of my music I uploaded to the cloud was flac, so it is played back as 320kbps... In some areas I get only 1 bar of 3g, and at worst music playback may pause for 5-10 seconds... but even this is a rare occurrence... Others have complained about the quality, but I think it's great considering I have the options set for high quality playback only and still don't have issues)

what I don't quite understand, is the talk of 'lack of an api' for Google Music streaming.....

However, Android app's for DLNA or other wireless streaming, such as Bubble UPnP, and this app which streams to 'Sonos'? wireless speakers: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.youtec.android.macronos&hl=en

They DO support streaming from google music - the actual CLOUD (sorry it bothers me that someone names an app Cloud Music Sniper and flaunts allowing access to google music, then turns out its for the OFFLINE available apps that you pin for offline access? Oh and shockingly there is an app called Offline Music Importer that works the same - except it doesn't piss me off by implying it can access anything associated with my music on the cloud!) /end rant

So why are these streaming apps like Bubble UPnP able to access my Google Play Music collection on the cloud so I can play it back through my home receiver - yet I can't get it to work with a 3rd party music player at all? Hell, all I honestly want is a stupid visualizer, preferably that I can set as a live wallpaper... but they only seem to work with 1 out of every 5 songs that plays.... regardless of offline or streaming... and that REALLY confuses me =/
