I'm using the standard GPS location icon in the action bar of my app. I want to have an "active" state visible to show that the app is using the GPS. I'm hoping to get the accent color of the user's Android and then tinting that icon. I believe the default on Jellybean is blue, but the ICS default is green. Is there a way to get this programmatically?
[Java for Android App Development] nikwen:
You can get the API level programmatically:

android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT

The version codes can be got this way:

android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.FROYO
[Java for Android App Development] saiarcot895:
So the only accent color provided by default is blue on Jellybean and green on ICS?
[Java for Android App Development] nikwen:
What you can get is the background of a selectable View:

android:background="?android:selectableItemBackground"

Maybe the color can be found, too. For that type "?android:" in an XML file and scroll through the popup in the IDE. You might find the color there. ;)
[Java for Android App Development] saiarcot895:
That helped a lot! Thank you.

After some peeking, it seems

android:tint="?android:colorPressedHighlight"

resembles the system tint color. I had to bump up compatibility to ICS, but oh well.
[Java for Android App Development] nikwen:
Great. :)

And devices running ICS or later are about 70 % of all devices. And that number is increasing. ;)

But what you could do for compatibility is this:

Define a default color for pre ICS versions and use your solution on ICS and later. To do this, you could use different colors.xml files with different resource modifiers. ;)

Put the default color which you define for pre ICS devices into res/values/ and the other one in res/values-v14/.

Would be an easy way to support old devices as well. ;)
[Java for Android App Development] saiarcot895:
I'll probably do that once I get rid of the other bugs in my app and get the click handler working.

Hello, I am just browsing the I717 posts here, being familiar with android root and CWM, I can not seem to find much with root and CWM on the boards here. I see a lot of root, that installs TWRP a lot but I am looking to root and have CWM. Perhaps I missed it, however wanted to ask. Thank you.

Is this the most recent ?

ROOT

That root method seems to install TWRP, I just want ROOT by itself so perhaps I can install CWM ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
To root this phone you have to flash a kernel that also installs CWR. The only way I can see to get root only without installing a recovery is put the phone in download mode and use odin to flash a rooted rom. But I've never seem an odin version of a rooted rom.

Why don't you want TWRP? Its way better than CWR.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
Latest CWM is 6.0.4.3

You do not need to install a custom kernel to root your phone. Use Odin to install CWM and then use CWM recovery to install a version of superuser.

Easiest method I know is here: Works for jellybean also.

What's up with everyone talking about Knox and possibly leaving up Strike marker that can't be removed? Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Epix4G:
You must have not seen very much about this phone .... it has knox basically allows you to sandbox apps for higher security ... but they put a e fuse in knox when you root it turns to 0x1 and as of right now there is no way of resetting the flag to 0x0 and some things in knox will not work with root etc ....

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Frizzanko:
In theory, would this be able to be removed or changed back to 0x0?

That's the only thing turning me off of rooting. Would disabling this knox thing keep it from flagging it?

Not yet and maybe never ....its only the loss of warranty ...

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kompster:
Well, that was painless.

I was slightly apprehensive about the KNOX binary counter, decided that I would risk it, I don't want any of Sprint/Samsung bloatware anyway.

Now I'm waiting for a deodexed stock ROM, maybe even something with the bloat pre-cut.

Came to the Note 3 from the Epic 4G, quite a huge difference. Very satisfied at this time. Thanks for all your hard work!

This worked great! Thanks a lot.. But just wondering, do I need to wipe everything before rooting? Cuz I didn't, and I noticed some bugs every since I rooted.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] buzzkiller024:
I cant find a clear answer to this... if I have a new note3 all stock, but setup the way I want and I root will it factory reset everything?

Or - does it just root the phone, leave everything else untouched?

Thanks!

it just roots if you do it proper qbking77 has a guide on youtube check it out

Thanks for the video & links. I did this on my new Note last night and it was painless.

For anyone else whose first step after rooting is getting Titanium Backup apps restored, you may run into problems with those apps force-closing after restore. This is a known issue, and the fix lies in either of these links:

New to Note 3 and "ROOT" Need Advice, Help

Hey Guys,

This is my first "Android" Phablet (Note 3) SM-N9005. Had iPhones for last 3 years. Time for a change and time for a root

Ive Read all about the rooting process regarding the "Root de la Vega" so i don't trip the KNOX claymore :P

I've downloaded my AP, CSC files, de la Vega Odin v3.09 and the ADB Fastboot.zip (all from XDA latest Sources)

Few questions i have regarding the process before i get started:

- Do i need the INSTALLER. and SAMSUNG USB drivers 1.5.27.0 for the De la Vega root?

- people were talking about flashing some sort of backup will trip KNOX. is titanium backup going to trip KNOX after i root?

- What is this SUPERSu app/program? Do i get it before root or after root? do i need it?

- After i Root it. What is the best recommended ROM/Kernel to flash?

I've been rooting android phones for ages. I never seen the need to root my Note 3. I want to root it now so I can use it as a hot spot when in desperation for wifi and nothing is available. I have tried twice, two different methods to flash my phone with Odin and both have resulted in a wonderful soft brick where I had to go to a Samsung Kiosk at a Best Buy and play dumb to get my phone back. Can someone assist me in this. Im on stock NC5 firmware. Everything I use Odin to flash either a CF-Auto root it fails and bricks and even trying to flash the latest version of TWRP same result

You have to be running kitkat according the thread.

from the OP:

"Before proceeding please verify that you are already on either the NC5 or NC5D builds (NAB and NABD should also work). If you are, feel free to proceed. If you are not DO NOT proceed, you will brick your device."

what is the procedure for rooting an NC5 sprint note 3? ie the safest best procedured? OP is from 2013 so clearly not for NC5 I would think. ??

I just went through a hell of a hassle with insurance replacing my note 3 (stolen - insurance company was great just took time) don't want to screw it up on day 1 :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jdelano:
I used the steps outlined in the op and rooted having nc5 on my phone. There is an new method called towel that has come out recently I can't comment on it as I didn't use it.

I'd do it but I'm on my phone right now.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dally28:
Sorry, I'm at the office now. But if you look up instructions to use ODIN and for some reason I first tried Phil's Recovery image and that did not take, but I tried it again with TRWP and that took fine. But I also put the file SuperSU1.94.zip so when I rebooted back into TRWP recovery I used the option Install Zip file and installed SuperSU from there. Rebooted back into Android, confirmed I had root, then download SuperSU from the Play store and everything now works fine. Full Root and on 4.4.4

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jimzweb1:
Ok, first what version of Kikat are you running? If you upgraded to 4.4.4 you are out of luck for now. If you are still on 4.4.2 NC5, you can use Towel root. This will give you root access, and will NOT trip KNOX 0x0 !!! However the minute you install a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM that will trip KNOX and void your warranty. REMEMBER Sprint will warranty your device with the KNOX warranty counter tripped 0x1 as long as you unroot the device before you take it in or sent it back to Sprint !!! If the device is hard bricked, there is no way to tell it was rooted and they automatically replace the phone. With rooted access and no recovery you can Debloat the device and run rooted apps. Enjoy !!!

I run a stock rooted 4.4.2 NC5 with Philz custom recovery version 6.12.9 hltespr. The device was rooted and warranty tripped the second day I owned it. I was in a Sprint corporate Store a couple of wks ago. Showed the tech my rooted note 3. He said I can't touch that, I said what if I unrooted the phone. He said no problem, now I can warranty the phone. He didn't care that the KNOX flag was tripped at all 0x1. Just can't be rooted when you bring it in for service. Sprint doesn't care about KNOX only Samsung cares about KNOX, When Samsung paid millions to the NSA to design a security system to track and spy on others than they care !!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] uknow:
If youve updated to nh7 you can one click root through odin and flash twrp of course knox will be triped but if your wanting to take control of your phone its not even a question I did it and will do it again I cant post links yet but there here lol

Just got my note 3 replaced at work. And Im crazy about viper4android so i rooted while helping customers. Their was no methods to root 4.4.4 so i downloaded kingo root just to see if it would work. It did and did a awesone job! Once downloaded the app downloaded a new update. Ive used kingo root before never have i seen it do what it did for me today. Once connected it did the download for the root process which usually reboots the device 2 times then its done. This time it installed a kingo recovery systemwhich then auto dedected my device and os version once detected it injected cfroot and reinstalled stock recovery. saddly no option to choose twrp or my fav phills. Rebooted no trip of counter checked for root and profit 4 minutes or so super fast no fuss.

Very pleased i didnt have to redownload odin or anything else besides my recovery of choice and roms :)

Hope this helps i would recommend this for anyone new or veteran.

Rooting Galaxy Note 3 with Android 4.4.4

Hello Everyone! I'm new here and excited to be among you. I need some serious help as this is the first time I'm doing something like this lol.

After a long internal debate, I decided to go ahead and root my Sprint Galaxy Note 3. I've followed this thread for the past couple of days and have a general sense of what needs to be done but still need some guidance.

I don't have a PC and will be using a public computer at a library to do the root and only have about an hour to do it because the computer usage is timed. I humbly ask for a step by step guide to rooting the phone from start to finish. Do I download and flash the recovery software first or the rooting software then the recovery? Lol, it's obvious that I'm lost. I downloaded the latest version of KitKat(4.4.4, NH7) and its the Sprint Galaxy Note 3. What's the best rooting and recovery software to use?

What I'm hoping to accomplish is by rooting the phone, I can remove all of the bloat ware and install apps I can use plus speed up my phone. Ultimately, I want to actually be able to get a 4g lte signal in my area. Sprint says I should be getting a full signal(4g lte) and I should according to their "coverage map"(eye roll) but I onky get 3G and I'm in a metro area and two of their towers are a quarter mile from my home. I'll get into that on another topic. Can someone please help? Thank you in adavance.

P.S. What a good app for using a hotspot after rooting and is good for connecting to a Playstation 3 for online gaming?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] TheNewGuy14:
Hey King,

While I cannot help with the rooting, I can suggest an app for gaming with the Playstation 3. I personally use Easy Tether (quick Google, I am still new and cannot post links) I paid 5 bucks on Amazon, I think it's originally 9.99. It's one of the few apps I actually paid for, I used it back when I had an EVO 4G, and an S3, it's really easy to set up just follow the instructions on their website. You can get the app from Google Play or the site. I had very little lag issues, at the time I was using it in the land of dial-up, seriously people still had dial up in that area. It does require some tweaking with your internet settings on a PC. Although I just realized you're using a public computer, as far as I know there was no way to directly link the phone to your PS3, although I'm sure someone on here has found a way, or a quick google search. I figured this could be a backup option in case you ran into problems sharing the wifi!
