I’m using the Hotspot mod by Rocket321 (MK3 Odex). On a stock rooted 4.3 ROM. After being idle or having no connections the hotspot app is turning off. Is this normal? Can I force it to stay enabled?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SwellVermin:
Yeah TrevE Mod no good on 4.3 Stock CF Auto Root

I really like this app but I guess like someone else said here, there's something not jiving with the code for 4.3?? any clues as to when an updated version will be released? I did the OTA update lost root, re rooted and now TrevE Mod doesnt work. Help!

---------- Post added at 11:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:36 AM ----------

Is there a way to just get the hack stock hot spot without having to use that ROM? Does this only work if you're using that ROM that goes with it? Can it be used on Stock Samsung Rom 4.3?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
You need to have a custom recovery to flash it, but other than that you can use it on stock MK3, no need to be on that rom

Just make sure you flash the right version (odex/deodex)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SwellVermin:
Trying it now. I flashed CWM v6.x something and installed the odexed version (correct one) and now phone is rebooting. Lets see how this goes...lol

Lost root upon rebooting the phone. Back to where I was on STOCK RECOVERY and STOCK Samsung MK3 ROM. How can I retain root, and have CWM recovery? I tried SkunkApes method, that way gives custom recovery but i lose root. CF auto root gives root, but stock recovery. ????
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
While in recovery, flash aroma file browser and delete these files

/system/etc:
install-recovery.sh
recovery-resource.dat

Custom recovery should stick after that

For su, flash the supersu recovery install zip
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] uscpsycho:
I know everyone here wants a free solution but if you're rooted and really need free WiFi tethering I got WiFi Tether Router from the Google Play store and it works great. It's two bucks but it's worth two bucks to me. Especially since I didn't install a custom recovery so I have no way to flash anything. This app just works with your rooted phone.

I remember all the headaches of getting TrevE working when I was in 4.1.2. Two bucks is worth the aggravation of not having to go through that again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kinphoke:
This actually works. Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] uscpsycho:
In case anyone has trouble getting this working, these are the settings I used, which were supplied by the developer:

For Samsung Galaxy S3 use this config:

Interface wlan0

Method 3 - HostApda

Channel 1

Encryption wpa2-psk

Drivers nl80211

"HostApd Patch" <- UNCHECKED

"No Firmware Reload" <- UNCHECKED
​

Again, not free but for two bucks and no more headaches, it was well worth it for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] an4rk:
Forgive me if this is answered somewhere else.. I can't find it.

If one were to use the stock hotspot app.. How would/does the carrier track hotspot usage? Additionally, is there a better app to use which prevents being tracked?

Thanks in advance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] uscpsycho:
I've posted this before but I caved in and bought WiFi Tether Router for two bucks - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.snclab.wifitetherrouter&hl=en

It works flawlessly on rooted 4.3 and is well worth it for two dollars. I know we all like free options but sometimes a cheap app is worth the investment. If you find a good modded wifi app you should probably make a donation to the developer anyway so call it even.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haskamr2:
My current Xperia Play (r800x, rooted, Gingerbread 2.3.4, Verizon) of 3 years is starting to fail/shutdown when I open the slider - I have to restart the phone to get it running again - it works fine as long as I don't open the slider which fails randomly). I bought another Xperia Play online (r800x, rooted, Gingerbread, 2.3.3) to replace the existing one.

There has to be a way for me to copy the entire rom contents from the existing phone to the new one since the phones are exactly the same - correct? If so, how would I do this? (I currently have ROM Toolkit and Titanium Backup paid versions with installed key on both phones). The replacement phone works fine. It may be obvious to you how to do this but your help would be VERY much appreciated since I've never done this before. ROM Toolkit doesn't make it obvious if there's a way to do that. I've also searched the forums a bit and no luck so far unless I missed something. Thanks for your time!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzmanj1:
As your doing a straight copy from R800x to R800x, best thing is to make a nandroid backup from Clockwork Mod then take out the memory card dferom your old PLAY and put it in the new phone. Boot into recovery and restore the nandroid. BAM.... done
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haskamr2:
I wish it were that simple...still no luck :(

I know for sure the phone is rooted, which I did myself. It has Superuser access, I was able to remove Verizon bloatware, etc... I downloaded/paid for ROM Manager Premium v5.5.3.2 and I already had the paid version of ROM ToolBox Pro. I have tried to create a backup of my existing rom on both apps and no luck. It restarts the phone but it comes back up just like a regular reboot. ROM Manager didn't create the folder it designated for the backup.

There is no mention to do so but am I supposed to unlock the bootloader before trrying to backup my rom? When I goto Sony's page about unlocking the bootloader(http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions) it walks me through the first steps to check if the bootloader is locked or not - it tells me this:

"First, you should confirm that it is possible to unlock the boot loader of your device by checking the service menu. In your device, open the dialler and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu. If you have a tablet, click here to learn how access the service menu.

In your device, tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked." - well, I enter the code, goto Service Info, Configuration, and that's it - I can't get to "Rooting Status". The page shows the MEID #, MEID Software version, Available Speech Codecs, and Working Bands.That's it - and I get the same result on the other phone I have.

So if I don't need to worry about unlocking the bootloader(because it wasn't mentioned in several how to guides online like this one: http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/0...nandroid-backup-and-clockworkmod-rom-manager/ , then how come I'm not able to backup my existing rom using either apps before I attempt to copy over the rom from my other phone? *sigh*

Thanks for your time once again. :)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzmanj1:
Yes you need to have an unlocked bootloader. For the r800x I would recommend doomkernel. If you need more help there is a thread for it on the developement thread, I believe that tells you exactly how to do it.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haskamr2:
Thanks Ozzmanj1...but....

I decided I don't want to go that far(messing with Kernel and Bootloader) since the phone is working great - I got all my games/apps installed with the 64gb MicroSDHC class 10 card, cleaned up all the dead files using SD Maid, deleted and restored the Dalvik Cache, cleaned out ../system/app/ folder of unneeded apks, and I'm running at optimum now(no low disk space icon showing which is a nag for this phone). This phone is "pimped out" to the max and I've decided to just use Mybackup Pro to save everything out and I'm going to make a full copy of the sd card in the next couple days so I don't lose anything again. I'm concerned that if I tinker with bootloader/kernel that something will go wrong. I have no problem rooting or doing extensive fiddling for optimal performance however. :cyclops:

Internal has 43MB free, 342MB used.

SD card has 24GB free, 35GB used.

Thanks again for your efforts & time to help out!!!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AzNTypeR:
Have you tried using x-Parts? I got recovery through this way, and it doesn't require an Unlocked Bootloader, you just have to be rooted.

However, I'm unsure as to whether it would still work on yours, as yours is an R800x and mine is a R800i.

Link to the App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pvy.CWMinstaler&hl=en_GB
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haskamr2:
Thanks AzNTypeR!...

Thanks, I will check it out - from the user comments in Google Play it appears that it does work on r800x's - to access installed recovery it was noted that the update says to push any button on reboot but users found that the volume down button was the only button that works(maybe this was fixed in an update?). It sure looks like the r800x is more of a pain to toy with than the r800i and other gsm phones. I love Verizon networks but I don't care for their extra headaches using cdma. :D
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzmanj1:
X-tools uses a portion of your system folder to store the recovery. So if you install x-parts/tools and flash a new rom you will lose the recovery an will have to re-install the software.

Hi,

The Halo multiwindow feature from ParanoidAndroid allows the System to open up any app in a floating window. However there are few alternative ways to launch an app in the multiwindow except for the original Halo bubble.

For people using tools like sidebars or similar applications, there's no option to do that.

That's why I developed the app HaloShortcut. My app allows you to create a shortcut that opens every app in the floating window provided by the Halo feature.

There's an app with similar functions called HaloShortcut

s

, which you should definitely try out. It comes with an additional search feature and most importantly, it's open source,

HaloShortcuts:

Provides a shortcut for every app/activity that will then start in a multiwindow

The Blacklist feature allows you to control whether an app starts in multi window depending on the currently used app

Doesn't appear in your home launcher nor does it run in the background at any moment

NEW Feature:

[YOUTUBE]1fogsQFhyF0[/YOUTUBE]

(Also works with the XHaloFloatingWindow XPosed extension)

Further information about the Halo project:

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/paranoid-android-team-open-sources-halo/

Changelog;

Version 3.2: Fixed Blacklist

Version 3.0: Complete new UI and added Blacklist Feature

Version 2.1: Shortcut labels now show correct name

Version 2.0: Shortcut support

Hi , this app somehow is not working on my Xperia Z, running android 4.3

i cant see the app icon ANYWHERE in the phone, so cannot create a halo shortcut.

i tried the other halo shortcut you suggested at #1, that one only creates a shortcut on the home screen, so that's not too useful (i want to create a halo shortcut on notification bar)

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] GuestK0077:
Works great! Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] bezrodnyigor:
I like it! Great app
[Android Apps and Games] MainstreamStereotype:
Hey, this app won't show up in any launcher, because that wouldn't make sense at all. But you should be able to access it from a popup dialog whenever you want to add a shortcut to something.

So in your app that makes the notification bar shortcuts, you have to select shortcuts and than select "HaloShortcut".

If you still have problems, tell me the name of the app that you are using and i'll see how to get it done ;)
[Android Apps and Games] moonset:
Hi,I've finally found the option, it is under "Bookmark" (not "App") when creating the halo shortcuts.

It is working if i create a desktop shortcut to open app with halo, but currently it doesn't work with this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.nicolai.buch.andersen.ns&hl=en

which i try to add the halo shortcut to the notification bar, the app opens as normal.

Hello, i believe that there are many fellow consumers like myself, that don't always need to have the latest an greatest of the android device market.

Some cannot have because their income wont allow them, and some like myself, just feel that android doesn't need a quad-core processor clocked at the ridiculous 2.3 Ghz, to run smoothly, which has been proven many times when older android devices, or mid-range devices run perfectly smooth without letting their "poor" hardware compromise performance. Yes they might have the occasional lag on heavy apps, but i don't actually believe that surfing the web, facebook, youtube, and mail needs an snapdragon 800 to give THE experience.

I want to buy the LG Optimus L9 II, which has the same specs as the HTC One mini, and still, this redicullusly cheap device, doesn't have a thread in the xda forum. Devices with less specs do have.

to sum up, because i believe that i might have confused you, although the hardware isn't the greatest, all of us would like to have the latest android firmware for our not so overkill smartphones.

SO PLEASE YOU GREAT DEVELOPERS PLEASE DEVELOP FOR LG OPTIMUS L9 II

Hey Guys, the new "OFFICIAL" ROM has been great!!! Unfortunately the last two days I started to encounter a problem with the earpiece of my 9100 not funtioning, what I mean is that I can only recieve and make calls via speakerphone. :( I'm not too sure what thread saw it in, but I believe I recall other people running into this problem(cant exactly say for sure if it was ROM related.) I was just wondering if anyone ever experienced this after the install of the latest ROM. I have installed the same exact programs to the same exact place as my original ROM(which never had this problem). Could this be hardware related? :?: I hope some one could shed some light on this, I would greatly appreciate it. My last resort is to due a hard reset, and if that does'nt work ship it out for warranty repairs. Also I have not dropped or mishandeled my device in any way.
