[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] RockRatt:
If you have MDL or MDB bootloaders then you can flash a ROM from T-Mobile. You would NOT be able to flash a Odin style firmware package from T-Mobile because of the LOCKED BOOTLOADERS on the ATT phone.

So IF you have MDL or MDB bootloaders (you can check by downloading Terminal Emulator, open the app, type SU enter, get a root permission, close terminal emulator and then reopen, type SU again, then type getprop ro.bootloader, the line just below what you typed will look like this screenshot where the line is pointing to.) Then you can flash a tombile ROM to get T-Mobile apps instead of atts crapware, and probably have the WiFi calling working? I would think.

BUT if your phone comes up with anything that ends in MF3, MJ9, MK2 then NO you will not be flashing any T-Mobile ROM at this time.

I've searched the forum and found the correct place to select my message alerts however is it possible to select my own mp3 as a sms ringtone. i tried it but with no luck :x

Thanks
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Vap:
Although I've only barely looked into this, I could not get MP3 files working as "notifications" only ringtones. I even tried doing the old WAV-RIFF header on an MP3 file to see whether that worked, nope. In fact, I've tried all sorts of different WAV formats and none of the compressed ones (IMA/MS ADPCM etc) work, only plain old PCW uncompressed WAVs. WMA etc etc I've also tried, no avail, only WAV and MID files will show on the list and only uncompressed WAVs will play.

However, you can use mono instead of stereo and also drop sample rate to 22khz without any major loss of quality (considering the playback device ;)).

Basically, MIDI and WAV files in the \Windows\ dir of your Wizard are where the files are picked from for the drop down in notifications. If you add a standard MID or WAV to yours they will show in the list next time you access it (no reset required, just close and re-open notifications).

Whether notifications only support MIDI + WAV I've no idea, ultimately I just convert whatever sounds I need to a mono, 22khz, 16bit, PCM WAV, these end up more than small enough to not cause any lag and work perfectly as long as the sampel you're working with isn't too long.

If you only have the MP3 files and have no clue about what I'm saying then you need to do some reading possibly and grab a tool to convert your MP3's back to WAV.

Something like "CDEx" which is free and can recompress your MP3's directly to WAVs (configurable) will do fine and I've tested it at PCM/Uncompressed/22khz and the output WAVs work fine.

Anyone tried Ringo Mobile 1.26?

Not only can you have mp3 sms tones but you can store them on your sd card.

I haven't tried it because I don't know how well it will go along with Phone Profiles which I also use, but I'm tempted to try.

Check it out on Handango

Hey guys,

I'm using Slim Series PAC 4.2 but there is only one problem for me. It's vibration intensity. When my phone vibrates, it's making a noise, and vibration is really strong. How can I set vibration intensity? On Vibrate Config app, I can't. I think I can do it on build.prop or maybe something.

Thank you in advance.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] D247:
Not sure if this should be under themes or not but here it goes. Does anybody know if there are any work around yet to get transparent status and nav bars in 4.4.2. Had it using gravity box before but gone since update. I know of nova launcher and kit Kat launcher but I liked how before I could use stock launcher and still set bars to translucent. Not looking at a big flame but only just getting into the android ecosystem. Wind blows and iOS up until around 2 months ago. Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
No, in stock rom you can't but if you root or flash a custom rom they can be modded like you like.

Work: Open
Works on: All Custom ROMs(Tested: Simplicity v5, Reported: SGS3)

So here we go guys. Metrosphere v1

A theme that I can call being fully made by me(except for the people in credits section Ofcourse :p)

Every bit of UI was tried to be themed. It was themed so much that you couldn't be able to realise. Small things human eye can't notice were not left out. But yes, there can never be 100 %

This theme approaches a combined venture to make android look like Windows Phone 8 or metro. Let me explain where from it's taken

For now, it's only available in One color scheme (Black, White, Blue)

I will soon make accents with Red, Purple, Blue, Pink and Green colour​

Note:-

I know this is ridiculous to mention but This is no real Windows Phone. You won't have anything else from it other than a look similar to Windows Phone.

Features

Full User Interface changed to Windows style

Monochromatic Black and White color UI

Windows Phone 8 Dialler

Windows Phone 8 Notification Panel

Windows Phone 8 Status Bar

Windows Phone 8 UI bars, progress bars, Seek thumb

Windows Phone 8 Platlogo

Windows Phone 8 Shutter Lock

Windows Phone 8 Dial Screen

New SAMSUNG lockscreen

Lense -> Shutter, Samsung -> Waves

Revamped Simplicity Settings

COSMIC v3

​

Happy New Year 2014​

Introduction:

Cosmic v3 is a Jelly Bean 4.3 theme based on 2.3.6 stock Firmware. The base ROM Cosmic v3 is made for is Simplicity v5. However, THEORETICALLY, it can work(maybe) on any custom ROM(Tested on Simplicity v5 and SGS3 v6). It is not only a theme, I call it a S-ROM, Parasite ROM, or a Zombie ROM, because, it takes up the host ROM and make it COSMIC, i.e. add some features too. Enough talking, let's get rolling​

Features:

Jelly Bean Easter Egg

Revamped new Settings with dynamic Title Bar like Jelly Bean

Blue Battery Chart and Installed Bar

DialerTab just like Jelly Bean

Overhauled Task Manager for Complete Jelly Bean look

New and much much efficient Cosmic Hub

5 way Boot Menu

Completely Dark Look (Holo Dark)

Methods preventing White on White Bug

New Music App with Jelly Bean Look

New Contacts app with Jelly Bean look

Edit Text fields in internal app changed to Holo Dark

Much more JB like Dialogs and Buttons

Overall simplistic look including Status Bar, Notification Panel and Recent Apps

Not only this, a person can lose track of things when he is making something for over 3 months, use the theme to find out

I have my note II rooted, and its running 4.1.2

I received the OTA today, and I chose not to download it. Just curious on what folks are doing ?

I dont run any custom rom on my Note II, I just use it for rooting purposes....

if I do want to upgrade to 4.3 what is the suggested path of action ?

I thought I could use wugfresh I guess not though ?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] computerslayer:
Once you upgrade to 4.3 OTA, your bootloader is locked and root is gone, along with the generally unwelcome addition of Samsung's KNOX technology. No bootloader exploit currently exists. If you upgrade by flashing one of the ROM's here on XDA or the non-OTA update to 4.3 (check the Android Development forum), you get the latest software and keep an unlocked bootloader & root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mejud:
Wife gave me my Christmas present yesterday...(a Note 2 she bought used...lovely phone). It started an update when I fired it up, (has been so long since I rooted my Bionic, I completely forgot about OTA's) It now has 4.3, and the only sort of tethering I can mange with it is usb pdanet, which merely qualifies as 'better than nothing', as it often drops out. Might have to put the damn thing in a drawer and fire up the Bionic until the tech gods here work it out. Am downloading a zip from another thread mentioned by Tfly12 that purports to get around the entitlement check...will see
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Nefariouss:
Can't flash that zip though can ya? Trust me. Loosing tethering is the biggest thing that ticks me off about 4.3.

Hate having to have an nonroot phone for work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mejud:
not sure yet, my last experience with this was the Bionic....and after I got it doing what I wanted it to do.....never bothered with it again. Now I'm trying to learn everything Samsung, (precious little of Motorola knowledge seems to apply here....I always thought Odin was a Viking god...) so I don't end up in one of those frantic "HELPME! MY PHONEWON'TEVENTURNONANYMOREIHATEYUPEOPLE" posts....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ch3ss:
Seems like I should wait then... It tried to download and install last night but it failed, so it just rebooted and i am good... probably because i have recovery on... not sure....

I prefer to honestly just go back to stock, and then maybe goto 4.3 once there is a good root out there....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BigggJack:
I made the same move after my speaker started going on my BIONIC, fortunately for me I made the move to the N2 a few months ago. If you are lucky and someone is able to get the bootloader unlocked on 4.3, you should find this device much easier to work with then using Safestrap and all that other jazz. Odin is sort of like using HOB except I have only had to use it twice and not constantly. Once to unlock the bootloader initially and just recently to update the modem and wifi parameters when I made the move to 4.3

Hopefully someone can help you get set up to use the N2 the way you need it.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] axopro:
Sorry for the duplicated post. I just noticed the other one i posted is in the wrong section and this is the one for the AT&T phones so here it is again.

Hi Guys. Today i rooted my phone for the first time (LG Optimus G e970)

Everything went well, then i uninstalled the bloatware from AT&T and a few of the google apps that i do not use like books or music, and on the next reboot i got my phone bricked with the LG loop and "Security Error" message.

I found some great info on these forums on getting the phone in working condition with the help of this: http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2388440

However, before i go ahead and restore the phone's original firmware, i would like to know if there is anyway to recover some of the files. I have some important notes i wish to recover, everything else is on google and the external SD card so im not all lost.

I am able to put the phone in download mode by holding the up and down volume keys and then powering on the phone with the usb cable connected to the PC, but it is not showing as an external disk on the computer. I do have the LG drivers installed tho, the same ones i used to root the phone.

Any ideas?. thanks a lot.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] optimusv45:
What recovery do you have ? You may be able to mount internal and sd card in recovery and access them on your computer ?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] axopro:
Hi thank for the help.

I have no clue about what recovery i have. I never played with the phone before the rooting and removal of the apps, so i believe it should be the "stock" recovery if you wanna call it like that.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] optimusv45:
I don't know what guide you followed to get the root. If you followed this

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2450258

You should have twrp. Stock recovery may not be able to mount storages for uses on PCs.

Also I haven't seen the post you included , maybe that's an older post. A lot of people use this to recover their "bricked" phones

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2230994

I personally have followed this too.

As long as you have download mode you don't have to worry. However you need to read carefully before processing with teenybins because its something that can actually brick your phone if used wrong.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] axopro:
Ok so when i did the rooting i followed that same guide you linked to, but i only did it to the root part. Not the "UNLOCK BOOTLOADER AND INSTALL CUSTOM RECOVERY-"

I just wanted the permissions to remove the apps.

So now with the TeenyBin guide.... will that erase the current settings and information on the phone or is it just an attempt to fix the firmware loop?

will the process attempt to restore the google apps missing?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] optimusv45:
There are different kind of teenybins. They do different things, one giving you a working recovery and updating RPM/TZ, one restoring your phone to complete factory state. You will have to read it to know what I'm saying here. The one that give you twrp and update your partitions may let your data alone but you will most likely still have the existing bootloop. The gapps missing ? The ones you deleted ? If you use the bin that recovers phones to factory state then you will have all the stock apps again.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] axopro:
Quick update.

I was able to recover the phone and the data in it. :good::D

I installed the new boot loader with the teenybin instructions and was able to backup the data partition to an SD card.

Anyway, after that i went for a recovery using the stock firmware and LGNPST and now i lost the boot loader with all the neat options, but got the phone working again, and to my surprise, everything was back there including data and applications,. i dont get it but oh well... im back alive.

Ill backup all the important stuff from now on, and then i will keep messing with the phone again LOL. i learned quite a few things today... ill read more from now on before doing more things.

Thanks for all the help.!!
