[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] ProjectER:
I finally baught the samsung external dvd drive se-208. I tried AV connectivity mode so it get's recognized as a fat 32 flash drive. Well my laptop recognizes it (but my laptop recognizes it as a disc as well so that really isn't the point). Tried AV connectivity mode and connected it to my note 8. The drive just keeps spinning but my note 8 never recognizes it. Really sad. I then connected it to my samsung TV which allegedly can play media files off of a USB thumb drive. The drive still isn't recognized. Weird cuz on you tube, they connected it to a samsung TV and it worked. I tried media files and data/doc/pic files, the drive never gets recognized. Only my laptop recognizes it as a "flashdrive." Any suggestions? (I know switching to AV connectivity means pressing the eject butto for 1.5-3 seconds so I'm sure it's in AV connectivity and not in ODD or optical drive mode). Could it be power? but the drive lights up and spins when connected to the note 8 and the TV. Thanks for any suggestions.

BTW, i'm not interested in streaming as i already have a NAS for all my videos. Just want the functionality of an optical drive reader without having to bring a laptop around. The note 8 is already amazingly functional...this would just max it out even more. Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] rtiangha:
The bottom line is the device (whether it's the tablet, computer, TV or whatever) needs to have the drivers built in not just to access the optical drive, but also to read the file system on the optical disc (which I think is UDF, but don't quote me on that). You could try to find a custom kernel that has that support, see if there's a program on the Play Store or elsewhere that has that support built-in, or compile your own kernel with that support built in. But usually, when it comes to hardware support, it almost always comes down to driver support (I'm assume there DVD drive plugs into the wall so it's not an issue with lack of power).
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] gabripranzo:
Hi, have you tried if screen mirroring works between the Note 8.0 and Chromecast? I'm thinking of buying the dongle, but I'm interested mainly for screen mirroring, so I wish to know if it works well.

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Spidey01:
Performance when mirroring to Chromecast sucks but it does work. I would say latency is around 0.75 seconds to 1.20 seconds from when I scroll left or right in Nova Launcher to when I see it finish on the TV. Encoder quality also sucks at rendering transparency or anti aliasing and it tends to peg the CPU to full clockrate most of the time. I haven't tried video on it. I believe my Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 is simularly Crappy. Nexus 5 and Galaxy S5 work better, so it seems like only my Snapdragon 800+ chipsets seem to have decent mirroring performance over Chromecast. I don't think Google has optimized things very well for Exynos & Mali. I can say the GS5 will mirror to it well enough to watch a video not that I'd advise it. Really, Samsung's very crappy AllShare Cast dongle works better in terms of casting performance. Miracast is only useful for videos or stuff like email/websurfing because of the latency (e.g. not gaming) but Chromecast is the worst mirroring I've ever used, and I've even SideSync mirrored my tablets to my PC before. My Amazon Fire TV box works awesome sauce as a Miracast Display to all of my current devices (GN8, GNP12.2, and GS5) in terms of performance but sometimes will not connect; I've yet to determine why, maybe it just hates my monitor/switch more than my TV.

If cash is a primary concern and mostly mirroring: I would suggest a Fire TV Stick (which is Miracast Certified) or some real Miracast adapter like the Netgear PTV3000 ($50) or Belkin Miracast Adapter ($60). Chromecast is great for leaning back and casting video from apps like Netflix, Plex, AllCast, etc but not so awesome at screen mirroring. Perhaps like Chromecast's video decoder it will improve with time but it's just not that awesome for mirroring right now. MHL wired adapters are still better for screen mirroring IMHO.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] gabripranzo:
Well, I wish to use the screen mirroring function mainly to stream videos: sometimes it happens that my Bd player hasn't the right codec for the video, so I wish to stream it directly from tablet to TV.

Hello :)

I have some idea to enable ID3TAG editor in stock LG MusicPlayer :)

You need to have Rooted device and some File Manager like a X-Plore or someting

Go to "/system/etc/com.lge.music.xml"

Edit file in text editor

Find someting like this:

Change ///data="false"\\\ to ///data="true"\\\

Save edit file

And reboot your phone :)

After that, go to your music player, click on to play something, go to options and click on ifno

Sorry for my bad English...

Have Fun :) Enjoy :)

Hello

I have been looking for a theme guide since the 4.3 update that introduced the ability to download themes from google play.

The closest I've found is this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1826413, but as it requires flashing the theme, and I haven't rooted yet, it's not really a option I want to use.

Any help is much appreciated :)

Until Sony provides an official tool for creating the themes, all you can do for now is decompile a theme, change whatever you want to change, recompile back, sign and install.

Sorry if this has already been asked, it seems like it would have been, but I could not find it.

Has the Omni team abandoned Multiwindow? It hasn't shown up in any of the kitkat builds yet...

This was one of the features I was most excited about. I love the rest of the rom but still...

Just curious.

Thanks in advance!:)
[Omni Q&A] Entropy512:
Abandoned - no.

On hold while all sorts of other stuff needs to get fixed - yeah. If KitKat hadn't dropped we probably would've finished up multiwindow within a few weeks of going public. Unfortunately, KitKat plus managing all of the community submissions is taking a massive amount of time.

Hello,

I'm new in the forum, so on the begining I would like to say "hello world" :)

My problem is with wifi module.

In my flat it works ok, but the range is not so high as in laptop.

But in my office there are problems.

My laptop is connecting with no problems to open AP (ap is open, no mac filtration, no encryption). But Wizard sees the AP but can't connect to it.

Where is the problem ?

Can You help me with that ?

miszka,

Have you done the DJVW HTC Wizard Optimizer 2.0.cab install. I had the same problem. What happens is that the wizard comes with 54g disabled, and if the AP only does 54g, you cannot connect. This update will activate 54g on the wizard.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaten:
The simple question is I have installed a version 10 ROM that is compiled for Verizon wireless and I'm attempting to make it think it's to the sprint space.

I have done all the following, I was wondering what else I need to do:

1.) Install a build prop editor or a way to edit build prop

File /system/build.prop

-) change the following to match up: (were replacing SCH-I800 with SPH-P100)

ro.product.model=SPH-P100

ro.product.name=SPH-P100

ro.product.device=SPH-P100

ro.build.product=SPH-P100

ro.build.description=SPH-P100 **** leave the rest here ***

ro.build.fingerprint=sprint/SPH-P100/SPH-P100**** leave the rest here ***

-) change these lines to correct carrier

ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric=310120

ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha=Sprint

net.cdma.pppd.user=user[SPACE]Sprint

-) make this line not apply, I do it by changing the path(this is a PRL index line):

ro.cdma.homesystem=64,65,76,77,78,79,80,81,82,83

to

verizon.ro.cdma.homesystem=64,65,76,77,78,79,80,81,82,83

2. edit the file apns-conf.xml

In order to edit this you need to remount the filesystem as read/write. There is a play store app to do this or go into the terminal emulator and type:

su

mount -o rw,remount /system

then uncomment the line near the bottom that starts with

<apn carrier="Sprint" mcc="310" mnc="120"

to uncomment remove the <!-- and --> on that line.

3. reboot.

Note: The drop down still says "Verizon Wireless", I don't know how to fix that.

From the thread I posted above

Param-TZ for MK6

If you *are* running the Official 4.3 (MK6) bootloader:

After flashing one of the stock packages, you may need to flash the MK6 tz.img and optionally the param.bin from the MJ4 leak. This is likely to be so if you are on the MK6 bootloader and have previously reverted to 4.1 firmware. The zip below contains two Odin packages. If after flashing the stock package and you are on the MK6 bootloader, try flashing the tz only package first (in Odin), then the tz+param package to see if this gets your phone to boot. You may also need to boot recovery and do a factory reset.

Read posts 1 and 2.

Which param-tz you flash will depend on what bootloader you are on.

How to identify your bootloader version?

One can find bootloader version with this "INFO APP" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.app.info, u will find it under the "OPERATING SYSTEM" option.
