[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrAzzy:
Could you share what process you used to install it?

Is this correct (based on what i've seen in this thread)?

1) Copy the .apk to the device

2) In a file explorer on the phone, delete old /system/app/SecLauncher4.apk, replace with new one

3) Delete /system/app/SecLauncher4.odex

4) from a terminal as root, chmod 644 /system/app/SecLauncher4.apk

5) Reboot phone

Also - the SecLauncher4.apk from the T-Mo phones is 2.7mb, the one on the ATT one is 2.2mb.

Can I take the ATT SecLauncher4.apk from my phone and modify it, and then use the above steps?

Or do I need to start with the T-Mo one?

Thanks

5x5/5x6 Home Screen Layout

I followed this tutorial by dvanburen.

Check the T-Mobile side:

[MOD] SecLauncher Modifications | For Galaxy Note 3

I copied over the 5x5 version and it works well, aside from the Touchwiz widgets. Backup the original version and the odex file, then remove both and copy over the new version, then set permissions (644). You may want to set another launcher as the default beforehand in case anything goes wrong.

( i modified this a bit)

1 Copy the SecLauncher4 and the SecLauncher4 Odex file from system/app and paste it to a location on your external SD card.

2 Delete SecLauncher4 and the SecLauncher4 Odex from system/app

3 Paste the modified SecLauncher4 from T-Mobile to the system/app

4 Change the permissions on the modified SecLauncher4 from T-Mobile to 644 (permissions can be changed with root explorer after you move files to system/app. They cannot be changed before moving to system/app.)

5 Reboot phone.

6 After phone reboots copy and paste the SecLauncher4 Odex file that you save to your external SD card in Step 1 back to your system/app location.

7 Change the permissions on the SecLauncher4 Odex file to 644.

8 Reboot phone and you're done.:D

Ok, so for all intents and purposes, this DID work

But, I am noticing a few strange things.

When setting up folders, I noticed that the words underneath the folders are a bit cut off. Its as though there isn't enough space in the grids for both the folder icon AND the title of the folder.

The phone now runs REALLY FREAKING HOT (within reboot Im at 94). I reverted back to the original setup and I didn't have this issue. I tried it AGAIN, and voila...nuclear Note 3.

Anyone having the same problems?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theorioles33:
I don't know if rooting has anything to do with it but if I tweak and reboot a few times in a row my phones does get into the 90's Fahrenheit. It cools down fast afterwards though. I didn't reboot often before rooting so I cant tell if there is a difference. That's the only time I notice it getting hot so its not that big of a deal to me.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] drago10029:
Hey people,

I have a quick question that google coudln't solve.

1. what does the information inside the battery compartment mean? (Wattage, rating, etc.)

2. If 2 phones have the same rating and use the same charger, why does one charge significantly faster than the other?

3. |EXTRA CREDIT| Is there anyway to hack a phone/battery to stay powered on beyond the default voltage?

Thanks in advance!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] drago10029:
Bump!! I googled and could not find any information.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] asimowalk:
1. They're the ratings of the power supply (battery) the phone needs to operate. It needs that voltage to operate and the phone will draw that amount of current.

2. It could be anything from different battery capacities (if you're talking two different phone models, look for mAh on the batteries) to one phone doing more in the background than the other to minor manufacturing variations.

3. I don't understand what you mean by this question. I guess you're talking about how to get more battery life out of the phone? Google should help with that, you're probably just not wording the question properly.

Hope this helps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:

[MENTION=4057370]vincom[/MENTION] [MENTION=5219613]member[/MENTION] thanks for the responses. and the 3rd was about the modding a phone/battery/kernel to utilize virtually the whole battery instead of shutting off at the usual voltage rating for the phone model.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lingowistico:
Volt and mAh. You're probably talking about mAh.

I can't say I know, but, I think that roms such as CM will usually eat up all of the battery if you let it.

Also it's bad for these kind of batteries to be fully emptied. It decreases their volume so that every time you fully empty this battery it will charge a little bit less energy when recharged. It's better to leave a little bit of energy (like 5%). :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] drago10029:
Honestly at the rate most people switch phones and being the owner of a phone with a removable battery, As long as I'm getting the longest battery life that all that matter's :cool: thanks to companies like anker. also I understand your point though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lingowistico:
I don't get your point.

Do you mean that these phones are just throwaway devices like those red plastic liquor cups so you might as well squeeze all the juice out of it whil you're at it?

I've had my Skyrocket for a year now and I bought it used too. I'm going to keep it until it f**king dies from natural causes. :D

Not because I have to, but because I realized that I don't need a phone with an ultra HD display, an octa-core CPU and 8 gigs of ram.

It's past ridiculous now, now it's just redundant. The peak of the smartphone as we know it has come an end, see how the difference between the S3 and the S4 is not as big as it was between the S2 and the S3? Same thing with Iphone5 and 5S.

It's because there's no point. We don't need that much power in our phones. We don't even notice the difference in performance.

They have to come up with totally new stuff for the hype to rise again. They're going to drag it out though. Because you know, money.

There are some interesting ideas that are being held back on purpose, like the smartphone-dock that turns it into a PC. Do you see Apple / Samsung selling these docks? Of cource not. Because without it they can sell the same thing twice: as two separate devices.

Or how the software is made in a specifc manner that it makes your phone seem slow.. and it makes you want to buy an new and "better" phone. Really, software nowadays is like there's no such thing as optimization.

Haha pouring my soul out here lolz, cheerio mate :p

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] drago10029:
I feel you sentiment friend.

I agree hence why I got a GS2 skyrocket. I agree as well the majority of innovation happening in phones is the wrong innovation!

Battery life can get better but it a lot more expensive for the consumer if it doesn't. and YOU'RE RIGHT companies are dragging things out but it's honestly because people are mindlessly buying into the galaxy and apple brand. It's sad for us tech dreamers and for true techies.

with that said I do believe I wanna just squeeze the maximum out of my device, within reason though. I believe the battery is within reason since if a batter ygoes beyong it's voltage it's longevity will be shorter but it's only 10$ for a replacement and that's super cheap IMO.

p.s. the nano technology would be awesome! CES has been a bust a lot of years so far because the big companies aren't really trying like you said anymore :/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lingowistico:
It's not that it's sad. It doesn't matter what brand it is, when your goal is to make as much money as possible then that's what you're going to do.

Yeah I know they're really cheap (at least the knockoffs) I even got two spare ones myself.

Actually, I usually use the battery until the phone dies off. I told you that just in case.

Also a battery's capacity is usually measured in milliampere-hour or mAh. Not voltage. :)

About CES, the big companies are trying very hard indeed, I'm sure thir R&D's are working their butts off. Behind closed doors.

So they can milk this cow for as long as possible.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] drago10029:
yeah i know about the mAh but voltage determines the cut off when the shut down happens.

also [MENTION=4057370]vincom[/MENTION] [MENTION=5045554]lingowistico[/MENTION] last thing lol i think....... I had a nother motive for getting this info, will this charger make my skyrocket charge faster?

what about any charger? I want one that is gonna fill my battery as fast as possible! Can't be waitin' 3+ hours to charge my phone. My current charger is rated at 5 volts .7 mAh. I NEED a faster charger in my life.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] EQ811977:
That charger most likely will cause a wakelock. I've had similiar charges and they all caused wakelocks. Best bet....use the original charger the phone came with.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] drago10029:
Wakelock? Why is that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] EQ811977:
Just speaking from expierience. I've had alot of similiar chargers..just all of them did cause wakelocks. I can't say this one will for sure...but i'd rather test a proven product than flip a coin. The original charger the Skyrocket comes with works good. A duel usb At&t branded also works good for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] drago10029:

Thankfully the problem is easy to resolve:

After installing all of the above, enabling the modules, rebooting and then configuring your options and then rebooting again for the changes to take effect, you can simply disable Gravitybox and reboot to remove the awful bottom buttons and keep the screenshot menu option.

Phew!

In fact: Gravitybox is completely superfluous and a waste of time. God knows why you think that it's needed.

And the Xposed installer will download the APM for you.

Comparing my z1 to my old s2, which has a Chinese replacement screen in it I've noticed that the colour on the z1 is a fair bit less vibrant, (is slightly less bright than my z1 too), I was wondering if you can change the colour scheme? My s2 has 3 or 4 colour schemes (e.g. Dynamic) so I was hoping the z1 has the same, or maybe an aftermarket app that might help? This thing is pretty dull compared

Cheers
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drsoran2:
The fact is, that the colors of the Z1's screen are not dull, they are realistic and true.

I had an S2 myself and it shows completly wrong, unnatural and oversaturated colors. When you've used an S2 for a long time, you'll get the impression that normal colors are dull, when in fact they are not and the S2 colors are wrong.

That's the problem.

Galaxy s2 uses a Super Amoled Plus display it is a completely different technology than the LCD with Triluminos found in Z1. The Amoled displays are characterized by oversaturated and unnatural colors. Xperia Z1 display has more natural color reproduction.

It is a matter of personal preference but the fact is you will never be able to get such color saturation on Z1.
