Does anyone know if this will work for the Droid mini with the older build?
[Droid Ultra Android Development] TheWhiteChallenger:
its a modd of maxx framework-res.apk from the maxx, i doubt i would work on the mini. older maxx/ultra builds, maybe. i dont have one running it to test. if you need it for the mini ill do one if you upload your framework-res.apk.
[Droid Ultra Android Development] TheWhiteChallenger:
i wont pretend to be an expert of adb commands but whats is there has always worked for me, if anyone has any issues plz try what is mentioned above.
[Droid Ultra Android Development] Archangel:
That would be great if you could I would appreciate it. I have always loved onscreen nav buttons! Thank you!

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9663029/framework-res.apk
[Droid Ultra Android Development] <:GeeK:>:
I made an xposed module that will do it.

Here you guys go:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/wjyh62fckhqi2jc/com.geekmod.shownav3_1.apk

Also, you can rename /system/lib/hw/ lights.msm8960.so to lights.msm8960.so.bak to disable the lights on the factory keys if you want to.
[Droid Ultra Android Development] Archangel:
Works great, just a half black nav bar background but i am sure I can make the transparent myself. I think the half black is my launcher, switching it changes the height.
[Droid Ultra Android Development] TheWhiteChallenger:
Just a heads up, this breaks screen brightness control
[Droid Ultra Android Development] Archangel:
LOL yeah it makes the screen extremely bright LOL and you cant change it for me.
[Droid Ultra Android Development] <:GeeK:>:
That's a gravitybox conflict, disable "override system defaults" in navigation bar settings.

---------- Post added at 06:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:02 PM ----------

Yes, yes it does. If anyone has a way to disable the lights on the hardware keys without affecting screen brightness control, please post.
[Droid Ultra Android Development] Archangel:
Hmmm thanks but it didnt change it for me?
[Droid Ultra Android Development] bendrum30:
Anyone get this to work on KitKat OTA? I had it working on 4.3, but no luck now with gravitybox and shownav. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[Droid Ultra Android Development] TheWhiteChallenger:
it is working fine for me on kitkat. the half black thing is a lancher issue, i had the same issues on my razr hd trying to use the aosp launcher. GEL launcher works prefect with this mod on kitkat.

sorry for the delay i honestly thought id had already updated the op, but ill be putting up the 4.4 framework right now
[Droid Ultra Android Development] bendrum30:
Awesome! Worked for me. Thanks!
[Droid Ultra Android Development] Archangel:
Any chance of you making this work for 4.4?
[Droid Ultra Android Development] bendrum30:
Check the OP for the 4.4 zip. I flashed the framework and it works great! I have shownav installed. Not sure about getting rid of the lights. I still use my hardware and virtual buttons, so I didn't change those.
[Droid Ultra Android Development] Archangel:
Cool, I just have a Droid mini so I would need the xposed app. Unless the OP wants to put out a little tutorial on the framework edits. I can do it myself.
[Droid Ultra Android Development] TheWhiteChallenger:
Its super easy. Decompile, go to res/values/bools.xml, find line that has show navigation bar change to true, then find show menu bar and change to false. That's it.
[Droid Ultra Android Development] bamabamboogy02:
Thanks for the heads up.
[Droid Ultra Android Development] hackthis02:
I'm not sure if it's because I'm on the newer 4.4 or because I have Gravity box install be the 4.4 zip bricks my phone.
[Droid Ultra Android Development] Archangel:
Did you make an xposed module for KK?
[Droid Ultra Android Development] mrwinkle:
+1
[Droid Ultra Android Development] Archangel:
Has anybody tried this on a 4.4 rom and it worked?
[Droid Ultra Android Development] asuhoops8628:
Thanks so much for this. I dropped my phone last night and shattered the screen. Somehow it messed up my hardware buttons on the bottom and made them go haywire. This completely fixed it and makes my phone usable until i get it repaired!
[Droid Ultra Android Development] mrwinkle:
Can you post steps on installation? I am lost please help
[Droid Ultra Android Development] asuhoops8628:
Hey just dl the files and follow the readme. Note the small correction in post 2 in order to ensure a speedy install. Lastly, I did this with my phone powered up normally. I wasnt having any luck doing it in recovery
[Droid Ultra Android Development] mrwinkle:
oh ok just realized the readme file was in the first zip. I was just downloading the kk version
[Droid Ultra Android Development] Dr. Carpenter:
Here is a flashable zip (tested and working this time, I promise :D) using the 4.4.4 framework. I have also included a revert zip as well to go back to stock settings. I can confirm it works in TWRP, but it should work in other recoveries as well.

This is only for stock 4.4.4 (21.11.21) on Droid Ultra/Maxx. It should fail to flash if attempted on the wrong build, but better safe than sorry.

[MENTION=5161287]TheWhiteChallenger[/MENTION] - feel free to use the update zip for future versions, just swap out the files inside for the revised ones using 7zip and you don't even need to re-zip anything. Also, pull out the updater-script and edit it to credit yourself as well. It can be found at META-INF\com\google\android inside the zip file.
[Droid Ultra Android Development] Archangel:
Would this work on the Droid Mini or is the framework diff?
[Droid Ultra Android Development] Dr. Carpenter:
I don't know how different the mini is from the ultra and maxx. If it's the same system version it should be fine. Otherwise, if you could upload the framework-res.apk file from /system/framework/ someone could compare it to the one from the ultra. I am away from home until mid next week so I can't do anything until then.
[Droid Ultra Android Development] Archangel:
I will decompile both and see. I liked using Geeks module for this but am unsure if it works with 4.4 update?
[Droid Ultra Android Development] Pacnet_:
I know this is old but if anyone knows how to port this to the 4.4 19.6.3 Droid Mini I have the framework-res.apk here.

Show Navigation bar

Using Apktool, decompile:

framework-res.apk

Navigate to:

framework-res.apk > res > values > bools.xml

Open with Notepad++ and look for: Line 71

<bool name="config_showNavigationBar">[COLOR="Red"]false[/COLOR]</bool>

Change:

>[COLOR="red"]false[/COLOR]<

To

>[COLOR="RoyalBlue"]true[/COLOR]<

Save, recompile & flash
[Droid Ultra Android Development] Pacnet_:
Thanks a bunch, I'll be doing this tonight.
[Droid Ultra Android Development] TheWhiteChallenger:
hey, how many of u guys r planning on gtting the Turbo?

they stuck us with physical buttons again and, havnt done anything (except drugs) since i did this mod and have forgotten alot so ima need some help doing this mod again and a few others.
[Droid Ultra Android Development] Archangel:
The mods is pretty simple I can help if you need it.
[Droid Ultra Android Development] TheWhiteChallenger:
cool beans i remember it being real simple to do i just im not setup anymore for decompiling and recompiling, what r people using APKtool still? i remember having some issuse with it when 4.4 came out, it became kinda hit and miss.

oh what is being used for deodexing 4.4+? that was really giving me issues with Universal Deodexer V4
[Droid Ultra Android Development] Archangel:
Apktool 2.0 is what I am using right now and havent had any problems. As far as deodexing I use tickle my android and it hasnt let me down yet.
[Droid Ultra Android Development] asuhoops8628:
physical buttons > Virtual IMHO

no loss of screen real estate ftw,
[Droid Ultra Android Development] Archangel:
This only gives people an option thats all. IMHO you dont lose that much real estate and you can theme them,
[Droid Ultra Android Development] asuhoops8628:
Exactly... I am all for the option. This mod was critical for me when I had cracked my screen and the physical buttons were not working.

Kept me in the game for a days until I could get a replacement phone
[Droid Ultra Android Development] bendrum30:
I updated to the soak build 23.3.23 for the Maxx. I enabled On Screen Navbar on previous system, but that mod is not flashing via TWRP because the system doesn't match. Anyone have any idea how to enable On Screen Navbar on the new 23.3.23 build?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[Droid Ultra Android Development] Archangel:
Some roms you have to unlock the capability by updating the bottom of the build.prop with

qemu.hw.mainkeys=0

using root explorer in text editor mode, saved changes and reboot. Once rebooted you should have onscreen nav keys, Hope that helps.

[Droid Ultra Android Development] Dr. Carpenter:
This hasn't been working so far on ultra/maxx, we've had to do the framework edit instead. I'm downloading the update now, should have a flashable zip up tomorrow afternoon sometime, won't be able to do it tonight.
[Droid Ultra Android Development] Archangel:
Thats why I said this is for some roms,,,,most stock roms you can just alter the framework bools to get it working,,,other debloated roms have it already altered to "true" so there is no changing the bools, you have to alter the build prop.

Hello

Bought XDA mini s from 02 yesterday. Installed the softrware that came with the mini s.

Active sync installed, plug the usb cable to laptop and to phone and nothing happens. Laptop showing the device is installed and detected but no connection made to the active sync. The active sync icon just keeps on spinning and nothing happens.

So, uninstall and reinstall active sync (a number of times) and doesnt work. Installed the new version 4.1 from microsoft website (link provided on one of the thread here) and that didnt work either.

Getting really frustrated as I have tried everything, reboot laptop, pluggin usb cable to different usb ports on the laptop, switching phone off and on, etc.

Please help.

Andy

Thanks a lot for the link, will take a look later.

First read is that it may be affected by my trendmicro software.

Will post how i get on later.

Cheers

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] andy1688:
Finally, after updating my virus software to allow active sync going through its 'path' the thing finally works. Thanks Carmi!

2 question:

1. after sync'd with phone, it has become very slow and crashes all the time i change program or something. why?

2. i have over 200 contacts on outlook, they dont seem to have sync'd over to the phone. any idea why. I only have whats on my sim card?

Thanks

Andy
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Carmi:
did you mark to sync contact (on the PC)?

if yes - add a contact on the device - after Sync check if Outlook (on PC) have it?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] andy1688:
You done it again, Carmi. It is working well now.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] derelicte:
Hi everybody!

I was reading one of the Note 3 forums on XDA and noticed that zroice made a tool to help flash roms without a custom recovery!

I haven't seen it mentioned here, but I figured that it may be prudent to make a public service announcement here, as well as let the rom developers here know about it. Who knows? They may even make a release of their rom or roms with native support for this tool, for one click installs!

You can find it @ http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2550120.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] droidkevlar:
Wow! Amazing. Anyone tested this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] noobtoob:
Nice find!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] TTboy404:
hmmmm
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nightfox11:
A Video tutorial would be nice ?.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] parusia:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] spriteboost:
Do you think this would work with installing a kernel to :eek: I might give it a try if i figure it totally out how to use it maybe make a video if i get it done :).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] PhxDroid86:
it says it doesnt involve custom recovery or custom kernals (which trip knox). There currently is no solution to those knox issues as of this point
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] derelicte:
There is also the issue of Aroma Installers in Roms. Most of the ROMs we find here use Aroma. Since you can't choose what you want, you'd need to move the files for your choices by hand and run the script again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] parusia:
Anyone have use this to flash a custom Rom on your note 3?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] girron:
I tried several roms on my Sprint variant Note 3. The only one that seemed to come close to working was freezas stock rooted MJ4 rom. The only thing was that the direct input would stop as with Samsung keyboard force closing. Tried Jellybomb and Bonsai too with no luck at all.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hctimin:
Mobile Odin seems like a nice alternative?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=48790769

With T-Mobile's announcement yesterday, I am contemplating if I wanted to switch from Verizon to TMo,...Right now I could flash custom ROMs via SafeStrap and not trip Knox, so I was just here to see what sort of development has been going on with the TMo variant,..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] derelicte:
Yes. It is. There was a guide on how to use MOP (Mobile Odin Pro) to flash without tripping Knox. Kn0x0ut is more or less unsupported now, since MOP supports AROMA too and deprecates it.

The problem is that MOP doesn't support our model, and neither does safestrap, which isn't necessary due to our phone having an unlocked bootloader. So, the only way at present is to use kn0x0ut.

You can force MOP to believe you have a different model phone. It may actually allow you to flash a tmobile Note 3 as if it was the international variant. However, I'm reluctant and a bit fearful to do that. If someone else wants to try, let us know!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] derelicte:
MOP now supports our phone model.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] effortless:
The AT&T safestrap works perfectly for our phone as well. So we have a few options.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] derelicte:
Yes, but MOP supports AROMA AFAIK and Safestrap does not.

There was a link on a guide to use MOP without tripping Knox and allowing to use AROMA. I wonder if I can find it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] effortless:
Yes, MOP supports Aroma fine. Just make sure to choose stock/unmodified kernel when going through the Aroma installer. Both options have their benefits.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] derelicte:
Here's the link I mentioned... a guide on using MOP and not tripping Knox. Link @ http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=48790769

Knox 0x0 and Flashing

...and here's proof of success! The picture below is my TMobile Note 3 with an Otterbox case. I flashed Wicked v5, a highly modified SM-N900T rom with a stock kernel, using AROMA.

Following the instructions from the thread I linked before and using the latest Mobile Odin Pro, here's what you get:

Since I doubt anybody has a mirror near them, here's what it says:

ODIN MODE

PRODUCT NAME:: SM-N900T

CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official

SYSTEM STATUS: Official

KNOX KERNAL LOCK: 0x0

KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x0

QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE (CSB)

RP SWREV: S1, T1, R1, A1, P1

WRITE PROTECTION: Enable

Mission accomplished!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] lm that guy:
In case you guys didn't know, mobile Odin pro now supports our sm-n900t

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] droidkevlar:
Thanks for this. Will give this a shot this weekend. If it trips KNOX, I will hunt you down :p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] evodon84:
I can confirm that I was able to use MOP to flash the Wicked Rom to my TMobile Note 3 without tripping Knox.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] droidkevlar:
Using the steps above with MOP, does it wipe the internal memory? Meaning, pictures, and what not. I know system will be wiped, but just want to make sure about the other stuff.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] evodon84:
No it didn't for me. I did flash a stock Rom first and then the custom Rom but neither wiped my internal.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] droidkevlar:
OK, thanks. I am going to do the same since thats what the guide says to do. YaY. Thanks for the info.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] droidkevlar:
So I just flashed via MOP...followed the instructions and used Wicked....it didnt wipe my device....it just installed the ROM over on top...is it supposed to do that or do I need to wipe it some how?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] evodon84:
Yeah mine did that, I went into stock recovery and wiped which will wipe your internal so be careful
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] droidkevlar:
OK, good to know. The issues I was having seem to be fixed now, so Im going to hold off on it unless they come back. Its funny...I used to crack clean flash almost every other day, now that I havent flashed in over 6 months Im like, ehhh, Ill try to hold off on it, lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] droidkevlar:
Has anyone been able to flash VRTheme zip files with MOP? I flash it, but it doesnt apply. Wondering if I am missing something.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Hero746:
Are you guys able to install Wicked's extra features? During the AROMA installation process, I chose to install the Moto X camera, Focal, Google Edition Camera, Sony Walkman Music App, and Wicked on Crack but none were included once everything was said and done. I flashed a second time using MOP choosing to install mods and apps, but once again, the apps weren't installed. Will wiping fix this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] droidkevlar:
I did not select to install any of those, but I did not select to install any bloat and noticed they were still installed. Its OK as I can remove them on my own.

I dont think wiping will fix it. I think our options are pretty limited on what can be done. You can always extract the apks from the zip and then push them to either /system/app or just side load like normal. Just depends on where you want it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] evodon84:
Yeah I didn't try to install any mods either, however I've switched back to a N5 so I can't attempt it again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Beefvvl:
I've flashed Wicked as well using MOP and I don't think the system is wiped, Only dalvik and cache. Does anyone know if we can somehow have the system wiped as well?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] droidkevlar:
Must do it in recovery but be warned it will wipe everything
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dugryce:
Yes...but how do you root the phone before applying MOP?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] derelicte:
Root de la Vega or Kingo Root, then you can use MOP and Ever Root, since you'll be reverting to stock anyways (no root).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] djtheraven:
Mop said it will trip the knox counter on my device when I ran it. ..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jabbathewocket:
It will... IF you flash a Kernel or Recovery .. (probably a few other things as well check the original thread to see what all they actually flashed from the roms in question to be sure)

The warning is there because MOP itself makes no distinction and will faithfully flash whatever you want .. and users would scream at chainfire if they ended up 0x1 without the warning
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Mrmannyb:
Is it possible to make a nandroid before trying to flash using MOP?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] papabear:
Anyone that has run kingo root, confirm there is no malware/unwanted bad crap in it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Mrmannyb:
That's how I rooted mine.. haven't noticed anything.. been rooted for 2 months now
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ajster1989:
I used vroot, I uninstalled the Chinese apps it put on, and installed SuperSU. I have been monitoring every action for about 3 days will Xposed framework module "Xprivacy"

Haven't seen anything looking like malware at all.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] StAlphonso:
Just another confirmation.....wicked v5, knox still 0x0, status official....just did it so cant really speak on performance or FC issues but nothing yet....manually wiped from stock recovery just to keep things clean but may not be necessary...all data was still intact after initial flashing....used mobile odin pro following directions from the thread linked above.....came from rooted 4.3 MI7 firmware using URDLV method....note that during AROMA install there is never an option to "not install kernel or custom recovery", which had me a little concerned i was going to trip KNOX (this is mentioned in the MOP thread instructions) but everything installed just fine

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] DiegoConD:
Well, i heard about the new releases of Cyanogenmod 11 for the tablet and i'm really excited. I have experience with roms and i read that i need to wipe everything, even the fake sd card partition and i have like 20gb of data there, is it really necesary to wipe it? I tought i could change rom just wiping system data but if it is necessary i would move all that to my pc.

Thanks so much in advance.

By the way, if anyone is using cyanogenmod, does it improve the perfomance on battery and all that? Thanks again for answering.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Pfeffernuss:
No need to wipe the SD, a simple factory reset/system format when going from one Rom base to another (from stock to CM in this case) is enough.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] DiegoConD:
So the factory reset on twpr recovery wouln't wipe all my data stored on the sd? Have you tried it by yourself? Does Cm11 worth the change? Thank s for the answer and sorry for the lot of questions haha
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Pfeffernuss:
Yup, won't touch the SD at all... Doing it all the time using TWRP 2.6.3.1.

CM11 runs nice here, am using a non-Caf version so more kernels are compatible. Using ElementalX myself :good:
