[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scarbutt11:
Just a quick question that probably has a simple answer. This is my first time with a touchwiz phone and using xposed. I'm still on stock but but rooted and running smooth thanks to titanium backup freezing. I'd like to get my battery icon as white instead of green if that is possible? And also for the quick toggels to glow white when activated instead of green.

And, I don't think this is possible at all, but is there a way to change the notification tray to look more AOSP?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tropazr:
It is possible. My favorite way to do it is with Wanam Xposed Module by Wanam. My ROM (AzureROM) comes with this preinstalled...check it out!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billaboy25:
What he said.. Wanam should be able to accomplish what you want. make sure you install the module, framework, etc etc. all properly for it to work

I have read allot about problems relating to deep sleep, but failed to find a solution.

my device wont go to deep sleep after I am using my Bluetooth headset, for example, in the morning while i'm at home everything is ok and then I turn my headset on, drive to work, and turn the headset off. the device fails to deep sleep from the moment I turn the headset on and it keep even after I turn the headset off.

i see in betterbetterystats that the "suspend_backoff" is keeping the device on.

I don't have allot of knowledge about kernels and wakelock so I need help finding the solution.

if needed I can provide log files from betterbetterystats and wakelock doctor.

current ROM: KitKatComet / Halley (v1.0)

kernel: the one provided with ROM

the problem is on all ROMs since 4.3 and up...

THANK YOU :)

Hi,

I own Surface2. It is really nice device but i can't find any Player which would allow me to play ogg based stream.

In concrete, I am trying to play stream from this Location: 178.209.2.100:10000/live.ogg. Unfortunately, IE 11 doesn't provide Support for ogg Format. By the way, this stream works nicely with other Browsers.

Does someone know any application/method which would allow me Play this stream. I could not find anything useful in Store.

Thanks,

Ivan

Alright... I need a good (great?) task manager.

I have used SPB and Magic Button. I like SPB but it is too difficult to hold in the corner of the screen on my Wizard (8125) and I dont want to install ALL of it just for that (I use resco explorer and I like it better then SPB's addins to the default file explorer.)

Magic button was the next logical choice because it puts the icon in the middle of the screen and that's what I use now, but I'm not crazy about it. Anyone have any other suggestion? I am looking for something that is one hand friendly and lite weight and fast (of course, I want it ALL! lol)

Thanx in advance; Lew
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] eastmushu:
Hi Lew...

You might want to try this http://www.insoftwarehouse.com/desktop/products/inclose/index.php?l=en

or you could try Wisbar Lite at http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/products.php?prod=WisBar+Lite
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] I Got Served:
there seems to be some kind of conflict with every single task manager I've used so far:

InClose Mobile: freezes my Pictures & Videos app

Wisbar: doesn't close correctly on many windows such as Resco explorer options, and wallpaper changing. It simply ends the window thus discarding any changes you make.

Magic button: Made some of my status icons on the top bar disappear

still looking for the perfect app...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ZeBoxx:
You know it has two display modes, right? If you tap-and-hold the OK/close button, it will switch between showing the Magic Button icon + running programs icons, and just showing your regular bar. I have it set up to just take up the whole task bar space, and usually show my regular bar. If I need to switch apps, I can just tap and hold and tap the icon of the app I want active.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] lewcamino:
I have tryed those 2 now and I am back to Magic Button. The MAIN reason... It is too hard to HOLD the corner of the screen with my thumb on the 8125, I guess because the border of the screen is raised so much. Ah well back to what works I guess.

Thanx guys; Lew
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] wouterk:
Hi,

You can also try Xbar. You can find it with Google. It is not freeware but very cheap. It is a completely different idea from a taskmanager. You use the Actionbutton to call on the Xbar and then you can switch or close tasks or open programs without using the stylus.

I've been using it for a couple of months now after using every taskbar on the market for the last 4 years... ;)

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] vijay555:
If you want a proper task manager, this is pretty much definitive:

http://buzzdev.net/component/option,com_simpleboard/Itemid,59/func,view/catid,27/id,15472/#15472

By one of Buzz's boys, DotFred. It's superb.

But that's really for tech heads. If you just want to close apps, use SMclose or similar.

If you really just want one handed task closing, check out VJOkButt on the board (not my website, versions on here are newer). It has various options but is very simplistic, but does close apps one thumbed.

I bought xbar3, its a great very straightforward piece of software.

You can find information on it here

I've previously used handyswitcher which i didn't enjoy, because it listed 'phone' as a running application and tried to close it.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] McHale:
best app closer/task manager hands down:

PocketNav 2.74 http://www.scottandmichelle.net/scott/cestuff/pocketnav.zip

Free and just a simple .exe to throw in your startup. If you don't like it, just delete it. I've been using it for several years now and have tried others. I always come back quickly...

I like SmallMenu Plus, a launcher/manger, highly configurable, can replace STart menu. There is a free version, but for a couple $$ you get a lot more functionality. It's the first program I install.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] lpasq:
Guys… what am I missing here? I’m managing tasks via tray launch and have no complaints but then I’m a noob and don’t know any better. Please let me know if this is dumb. TIA

I have my first two tray launch links set to “AltTab” and “Running Programs”. From Today, I navigate down w/dpad and have task switcher tool there. Move one right and I can kill apps via OEM system tool.

Picture 1 shows tray icons. First (far left) is AltTab and second is Running Programs (created under ZeBoxx’s tutelage).

Pictures 2 and 3 are the respective apps open.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ZeBoxx:
Just a convenience thing :) E.g. like a on a desktop, you could run Task Manager, click the task you want, and then choose Activate or End Task. But you could also alt-tab to go to the application you want active, and you can click the buttons on your taskbar to switch to them directly, or close them from there.

Personally I still like MagicButton best, but there's a ton of these types of apps out there, all with different styles and functionalities. I'd say just try some of them - if you don't like it, just uninstall :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] meschle:
Thanks for that tip I like small programs and it works well with smclose. I found magic button a bit glitchy and hid icons on the nav bar so I could not see missed calls etc.

Another small app to my collection :)

If you have not tried smclose it is attached and just put in startup folder as well and it will close rather than minimize apps.

I ask myself then do I need a task manager with all apps closed lol :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] bill_viper:
Hello Ipasq, i'm using PHM Tray Launch, could u please inform me how i can put the "AltTab"?

TIA
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] duman95:
I've been playing around with SKMenu and it seems to work really well on my 8125. It is a bit to get configured but once you scan through the options is it pretty simple. The custom menu editor with the preview is very very nice when creating custom menus.

Overall its not bad for $8. If it continues to play nice with all the other junk on my PPC I am sold.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] JNGold:
Wgary (or anyone that uses SmallMenu(Plus).

Has anyone figured out how to hide or exclude certain applications from the close processes list (ie. Activesync, Phone, etc)? There is a settings button in the general tab of the smenu settings but it is disabled. Anyone figure this one out?

TIA!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] lpasq:
i put AltTab.exe in \windows and placed shortcut in \windows\start menu\programs too. then used the following command line in PHM Traylnch: \windows\alttab.exe (http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=42913&highlight=)

the AltTab in the tray along with water's sweet "smartskey" work fine for me and seem to give me the task management control i need. (http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=41060&highlight=)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Ineedtoys:
Can't do it. The one that can, which is very similar to SmallMenuPlus (but free) is GSPocketMagic.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] McHale:
Thanks for the file. You know, pocketnav closes apps as well. It puts an X on the screen so you can close the app and if you click on the lightening bolt, you can see a list of everything that's running and close them one at a time, all but active, or all.

Play around with the settings, it's pretty powerful!

-Mc
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] bill_viper:
Just one more question about AltTab utility. I can see in the Task Manager that i have 5 apps opened, but when i'm pressing the AltTab it's only showing me the last opened application and forwarding me there.

How i can see all the 5 apps that are running in the window (just like the screenie u posted above)?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] lpasq:
i just opened messages, contacts, calendar, notes, tasks and they all appeared in AltTab view and then i navigated to each one-by-one and then closed each with right softkey long-press. no prob. you may want to remove AltTab, power-reset and reinstall.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] JNGold:
I really like GS, but it still doesn't hide Activesync and the Phone app from the close process, even though I defined it in the exclude tab in the settings.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] darklondon:
Try "inclose", they released the lasted version on May 29. Here is the link: http://www.insoftwarehouse.com/desktop/products/inclose/index.php?l=en

Compare to last version, it's much faster, smaller and can hides "phone" program, kills activesync.

Good looking as well.

I am very happy with it.

Can anyone remember back in the days of the xda1 the xda developers rom had a program called 'switch' installed ?

Just tab and hold the icon in the taskbar and a popup will come up.

There you can make such settings!!!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Ineedtoys:
Smallmenu does not put an icon in the taskbar, it replaces the Start menu. Tapping and holding does nothing. Please explain further.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mattucd:
Actually what I finally did was install SPB PocketPlus, copy their AltTab program, then uninstall the suite. It's not lightning fast, but it's simple and works well. I have it bound to the Comm Manager button.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jorge_culv:
Just for completeness, thought I'd mention another (free) task manager called Dynamo from Aspecto Software (guys who did WiFiFoFum). It acts like a task manager with screenshot thumbnails for each running program. Really neat animation effect to zoom into the selected application as it fills the full screen from the thumbnails. I ran this fine on my non-overclocked 8125, but it is a fairly large program and takes up some resources. Neat for a while, but I'm no longer using it. Worth checking into though:

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] JNGold:
Definately a resource hog. I used it on my iPaq 2750. The one major complaint that I had was it did not have an "exclude/ignore" application function.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newman330:
I have been reading this website and several others over the last few days and last night decided to give rooting a go. Trouble is - I am not sure where to begin.

Last night I tried downloading Philz kernel - PhilZ-cwm6-DXLR5-OLB-v2.7 since my kernel version is 3.0.15-n7000dxlr5-cl968032.

I then followed these instructions:

Download xxx-signed.zip kernel matching your ROM

Put the previously downloaded xxx-signed.zip file on your external sd card

Boot into stock recovery (volume up+home+power)

Select "apply update from external storage".

Now select the xxx-signed.zip file you copied in previous step

You are rooted + new PhilZ-cwm6 kernel with CWM6

What I got was a message like - signature authorization failed.

Not sure what to do next and would appreciate some guidance.

I am doing this basically because Ive decided to keep this phone a little longer, learn about rooting and try my hand at experimenting some of the custom roms.

Again appreciate any assistance / guidance anyone might be willing to provide

dont know if this is relevant to the issue, but here it goes

About a month ago, I let the phone update some software - didnt really pay attention what it was updating as i was working.

Later that day i noticed my company email was not coming through. I raised a ticket with IT and received a response after looking into my case stating that the company does not allow rooted devices to access the email system. I found this strange because I had never tried to root the device. Is it possible that somehow an update occurred that rooted my phone?

Im aware that there are several ways to root, but again, im new to this would appreciate further guidance that might help me get this phone rooted.

Install the mobile Odin apk.. Place the flash kernel in root of internal storage. Open the app. Grant su permissions. Then go to the kernel selection (be careful here) and select the Philz kernel. Scroll down and flash (do not check wipe data).

you will still have the same kernel as Philz is a stock kernel. what you need to see is when you boot into recovery.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newman330:
thank you for that - Im showing Philz in my recovery, so I guess its done.

still trying to grasp this whole rooting concept.

I have a gt-n7000 rooted at 4.0.4 with a Philz kernel which means its safe to flash different ROM's... is this correct?

Since Im at 4.0.4, i can only flash ICS ROM's?

If i want to say upgrade to the omni 4.4 kitkat system, I would just need to download that ROM since I have a safe kernel for flashing ROM?

If I want to use any stable ROM - I need to first make sure im rooted to correct android operating system or does the custom ROM also include the required operating system?

Sorry for so many questions - still trying to grasp the basics so that i can start experimenting with different ROM's ---- safely

Thank you for all the support!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treacherous_hawk:
Yes you are safe to flash different rom.

No, you can flash JB and KK also.

To upgrade to Omni rom, flash Raw kernel from recovery, reboot recovery, wipe /system /data /sdcard0 /cache and flash omnirom. To know why to flash raw kernel to flash omni-search.

If you want to use Omnirom then you will have to flash SU as well (link included on the omnirom thread) to get root.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newman330:
thank you for that reply.

There are so many ROM's and its really hard to figure out which ones are the most stable for someone like me that is new to this.

I think I'd like to give Carbon ROM a shot. Like the look of it and it seems to have more than enough features / options to keep me busy for a while

I just wanna make sure im downloading the correct file. Is this is http://goo.im/devs/carbon/n7000/release/CARBON-JB-v1.7-n7000.zip? im assuming that since this is the last release, this must be fairly stable
