[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PNuT.:
If you have unlocked the BL just flash the advanced stock kernel via fastboot & then boot in recovery & flash the su zip that is kicking around for rooting 4.3....

worked for me anyway
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alias_neo:
The way to root is easy if you read. You downgrade to a 434 kernel with flash tool, run the root and upgrade back again with flash tool, easy. Don't need to unlock or anything.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] [-Amrish-]:
So do you need put the necessary files inside the flashtool/firmwares folder?

After that:

Open flashmode and select the .423 file and flash it, apply root and after reboot and flash back to.244?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunjans1208:

It seems like all the latest roms for the 10.1 are all for p51xx models, if i have the att model (i497) is it possible to flash the new CM?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Agoattamer:
No you can't. Unfortunately except for a deodexed stock version there are no ROMs available for the I497. The devs just don't seem to be supporting it.
[Galaxy S 4 General] futurejohn:
One of the annoying things about the S4 is the lack of software navigation buttons. I was used to using them on my Nexus 4 so I really missed having them on my S4.

First of all, root is required to edit these files.

Basically, all you have to do is add 'qemu.hw.mainkeys=0' to the build.prop in /system and reboot to enable the software buttons. If you're happy with that you can stop there, but you can also disable the hardware buttons if you want.

Go to /system/usr/keylayout and open 'Generic.kl' in a text editor and find the lines that say 'key 139 MENU WAKE_DROPPED', 'key 158 BACK WAKE_DROPPED', and 'key 172 HOME' and place a # at the start of each line. Take care here because if you add a # to the wrong line, you won't have a way to wake the phone. Reboot and those hardware buttons will be disabled.

I've tested it with various apps and the phone resizes them appropriately. Software menu buttons appear where appropriate and video players cause the buttons to fade away. The only odd thing I've found is that the app drawer is shifted to a 4x4 layout instead of the regular 5x4. Also, home and back do not vibrate properly and I'm not sure which lines to edit to fix that.
[Galaxy S 4 General] x111:
Do you know how to re-size screen buttons ?

p.s. everything works fine, but it to big ((
[Galaxy S 4 General] futurejohn:
The easiest way to do that is to change the lcd density. The default is 480 which makes everything MASSIVE. I find about 440 to be about perfect, but you can tweak it to find whatever is most comfortable for your eyes.

To change the lcd density, the simplest way is to go to build.prop and find the line that says 'ro.sf.lcd_density=480'. Change the 480 to whatever you want. Smaller numbers mean that things will be smaller and more spaced out and larger numbers will cause things to be larger and closer together. Reboot after you change the number and save the file for it to take affect.

You can also use tools like ROM Toolbox to make the edits if you find using an app easier to use than a text editor.

I recommend keeping a backup of your original build.prop for easy restoration.
[Galaxy S 4 General] x111:
It works, but again buttons is too big and change ro.sf.lcd_density low than 440 will be too small, and also I need change just screen buttons, other staff looks nice for me with ro.sf.lcd_density 480.

Please, tell step by step how to change it.

Also, do you know how to disable light of sensor buttons? (very annoying)
[Galaxy S 4 General] futurejohn:
The only way I can tell to just shrink the navigation bar is to edit the framework-res.apk. From my research, you have to decompile the apk, edit the navigation bar field in dimens.xml, and recompile the apk. I tried that but ended up having to restore my phone after I got a bunch of force closes. :laugh:

It's obviously a bit more complex than what I just mentioned so I'll just have to mess around with it more before I know how to do it.

If anyone else has experience editing framework-res any help you could offer would be awesome.
[Galaxy S 4 General] jedinegotiator:
Thanks!

Is there a way to disable the S4 menu and back buttons from lighting up?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Chahk:
CM10.2 has this toggle built-in.
[Galaxy S 4 General] jedinegotiator:
No way to do it without Cyanogen?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Immix:
Anyone? Also there is no vibration pressing the back and home keys on the navbar. Reading the SIII and Note forums, I believe this is due to the lack of vibration support in kernel. Can anyone confirm?
[Galaxy S 4 General] kamirza:
I have tried adding that qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 on build.prop but the soft keys dont come and on every press the systemUI stopping sign comes. Anything else I can do to avoid this. tried it with apex, nova and next launcher. Using omega ROM 14.1
[Galaxy S 4 General] rkharat98:
"ro.sf.lcd_density" isn't present over here....

But I added that line at the end of all lines in my build.prop ... Setting it at 400-480 gave me very big icons .. 300 gives me the original size of icons.. So I set it at 260.. Now it's giving me a Tablet like look...

And that all above is fine..

But after changing the values.. How is it possible that it changed all my default icons of System Apps...?? Even though those icons were not present in those APKs...?? :what::what:

And yes.. Talking abt NavBar .. Its smaller and much SPACED... Thnkx fo that...

And if u want to ENABLE or DISABLE Light of Hardware buttons here's the link to that APK..

https://www.dropbox.com/s/5qhpbuh5syvl39z/Capacitive.apk

Just download it.. And there are options...:cool:
[Galaxy S 4 General] geronphillips:
does anyone know if this can be implemented with tasker?

Sorry, this is a little off topic but:

I keep accidentally pressing the hardware navigation keys when typing, particularly when i am in a rush. Is there any way that this method can be used with tasker or any similar app to disable the buttons when the keyboard is in use?
[Galaxy S 4 General] thedark1979:
Thank you .. finally I found the solution for my problem ( menu key stop working ).

[Xperia SP Themes and Apps] imanesaurus:
Try again maybe its your network problem. I try download it and its works well

I dont tested it, but i think it should work on newest firmware.

No needed to wipe cache.
[Xperia SP Themes and Apps] ihsan.aziz:
Oke its installed. But is it possible to use this keyboard by clicking the "insert smilley" on our xperia keyboard?
[Xperia SP Themes and Apps] imanesaurus:
For xperia keyboard NO

But aosp keyboard YES you can.

On aosp keyboard you can make a shortcut button directly to this emoji keyboard. So don't need to pull down statusbar.

Its because this emoji is designed for aosp keyboard on android 4.3 :D

Actually i disabled my xperia keyboard and used aosp keyboard for this one :)
[Xperia SP Themes and Apps] ihsan.aziz:
If there's a way to theme the aosp keyboard so it'll looks like xperia keyboard, that would be great :D i used xperia zu keyboard and i love it bcause it looks simple but nice. Haha :D
[Xperia SP Themes and Apps] ihsan.aziz:
By the way, can u post the aosp 4.3 keyboard download link? :)

Thanks :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] EpicMango:
The S4 is my first Android phone. I got it rooted and everything.

Question is I'm about to delve into the ROM scene, and I am looking for an extremely stable daily driver ROM that is lean, fast and is extremely reliable.

My phone is a very important device in my life and I simply cannot be running unstable ROM's. I need a ROM that is basically as reliable as stock TW without all the BS..

Give a n00b some suggestions....:o

Needs to be rooted as having Viper4Audio is an absolute MUST for me

You might want to check out the GoldenEye rom (see the development forum). I've been using it for about a week, have not had a single problem. This was my first custom rom, and I am very pleased with it. Clean and stable.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ohraii:
I would also recommend GoldenEye. Development and developer is absolutely amazing. I used to be quite a ROM junkie and would never stay with a ROM that long, but I've stuck with GoldenEye since getting the S4.

Of course, it's just a recommendation. ;) It's always best to look around and see what would fit best for you.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Kama45:
It's been a fantastic day for me.

I was in the middle of a nandroid restore (TWRP). I was restoring a PAC Rom, and the ROM I was running was MROM (I liked the Rom, but it didn't have the Nav Bar, so it wasn't for me - it was running fine).

In the middle of the restore, my phone turned off. I was relatively close to 100% battery when I started to do the restore.

When the phone turned off, I tried to turn it back up, and it kept looping. I then tried to enter recovery, which I did. I didn't want to try restoring again, so I started to wipe with the intentions of flashing a fresh rom. But the phone turned off again. Now, it still won't boot up, and now I can't enter recovery. I get to the TeamWin screen, and it turns off.

I can enter download mode.

However, for the last several months, my computer never recognized my phone. Today,I've tried maybe five different usb cords (2 are S3 OEM) and four different USB ports. I've tried with Kies, and I have removed Kies. I tried with Odin open and more. No luck. I think my phone's usb jack is busted, but it charges fine from the computer.

My wife has an S3, too. Last I checked, she connects just fine to the computer, but she's at work now.

What do I do?

Can I somehow use my wife's phone to fix this awesome problem?

UPDATE: The USB port/jack is messed up. I am going to try and get the warrant to cover it.

Release date - September 12th.

http://m.androidcentral.com/lg-g2-launching-us-carriers-mid-september

Looks like Verizon is getting some exclusives with their G2 variant.

Includes;

- Wireless Charging

- Unique back buttons

http://www.engadget.com/2013/08/15/verizon-g2-wireless-charging/

Release Date - TBA

Sign-up for updates via Verizon here.
[G2 General] fmadrigal:
What's unique about VZw back buttons?
[G2 General] Ascertion:
The attached picture is the default back buttons. The one in the OP is the Verizon device.
[G2 General] fmadrigal:
But as of yet, there hasn't been any mention of a special function, correct?

I went into my local vzw corporate store to look at upgrading to the S4. The manager told me that an LG rep came today and told them that the demos will be available in two weeks.

I'm considering waiting for the G2 but can't get over the non removable battery and no SD.... I might take the plunge and get the S4. Either way I'm curious to test this phone out.
[G2 General] RaptorMD:
My S4 is going back tomorrow once I reset it and box it up. I decided to wait for the G2 arrive and GN3 to be announced at IFA so I can get a better understanding. All I need to know is that Verizon isn't going to screw us and not offer a 32GB, heck I would love a 64GB but we know that WON'T happen on Verizon. I also don't expect it until at least Black Friday :|
[G2 General] GuestK0040:
I don't know why, but I'm excited for this phone. Anyone have experience with LG devices in the past? Have they ever had much support for cyanogenmod? This thing would be sweet with stock android...I think so at least :D
[G2 General] timisalf:
You should be excited, this phone looks amazing. I've tried my sister in laws OG optimus and it was garbage but that was many moons ago. The fact that they made the last nexus phone gives me high hopes.
[G2 General] doeboy711:
I am looking FWD to this phone and I will probably be upgrading my S3 for this phone. It has better specs than anyother phone out there right now. The only other phone I might consider is the new Note 3, but I don't think it is coming to VZW. I think the only downside to this phone is the no SDCard input which makes me want to get the 32gb one if I buy the LG G2.
[G2 General] Hand76:
So I am on the fence. Get the HTC One in a few days time when Verizon finally releases it or wait just a bit longer for this bad boy?

Since Verizon is getting exclusives I would think they would rush this device to the door unlike how they handled the HTC One.

Anyone have an idea when they might start selling this? In a couple months? Late Sep? October?
[G2 General] joshm.1219:
I'm sure the N3 will be on Verizon, the N2 sold like wildfire for them and Samsung has more carrier leverage than any other manufacturer besides Apple. No way would Sammy let the biggest U.S. network drop their second-best selling phone series.

Most likely October, they said it would take a month to six weeks to send review units to the news outlets, which usually happens a couple weeks before public release.

As far as this vs. the One, it just depends on what you value more. This has a bigger battery, bigger screen, and more powerful processor. The One has better speakers and design. Also you have to consider that development will be more active on the One. It will most likely be more popular with HTC's upcoming marketing push, plus once it's bootloader is unlocked you'll be able to port all the other ROM's already available for it.
[G2 General] Hand76:
I'm not sure how active the community will be for the One on Verizon. People are saying the device could be locked down to hell and with it already being 4 months old maybe developers will just wait till the next big thing. That being the Note 3 or the G2.
[G2 General] joshm.1219:
Hopefully the lockdown isn't as bad as the s4 but as far development goes with APN editing you can port any of the ROM's already available.

[G2 General] Adauth:
I'm ready to upgrade from my razr and the G2 is looking like the #1 contender for my next device. The Note 3 also looks great, but might be a little big for my taste. With the G2 packing a Snapdragon 800, Adreno 330 GPU, large battery, great camera, and 32gb of storage I should be happy with it for awhile. Only thing i'm worried about is android os updates. With this being released on all 4 major U.S. carriers and LG's most anticipated device yet I can't imagine it not getting at least the next few android

updates.

The G2 is launching with 4.2.2 out of the box correct?

So...

I went swimming with the phone today and pretty much broke it :)

Filmed with it for about 20 mins going in and out of the water (not going deeper than half a meter).

The quality of the filming and photographing were really good but then the screen started flickering and on the left it showed kind of lines with purple pixels. Went out of the water to dry it off and phone went tripping. Shut it down and now its broken,

There was water in the battery compartment... Anyways, want it to be repared and / or samsung to get me a new one if I can pull that off.

The reason I post this here is because I want to know if there's a way to make the rubber on the inside / the USB port more waterresistand, like putting some kind of spray on it or something?

Let me know your thoughts and maybe we can make this phone more waterproof / enjoyable for everyone?

Thnx in advance!

the best sollution is to choose an external rubber case http://www.ebay.com/itm/SOLID-CLEAR...t=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item3f26fc4631

to gasket the usb hole and keep the rubber out of sun because the rubber gets soft on sun and it will last shorter if you expose your S4 to the sun
