You're safe. ;)

Widgets gone wild

The Galaxy TabPro ships with Android 4.4, but that actually may not be so apparent at first glance. The TouchWiz interface has been replaced with what the company has christened Magazine UX. It's a much more graphical UI that uses widgets to make accessing information and apps much more immediate.

While app icons are still accessible, the default interface looks like something closer to Windows 8.1, with the screen segmented into tiles. For instance, the default home screen puts a weather widget along the left edge, while the right side is divided between a Flipboard widget at the top and an array of frequently used apps below it.

Each widget is completely interactive -- for example, swiping down on Flipboard cycles through different news stories -- and widget selection, size, placement, and orientation are all customizable. You can create several widget-filled screens like this each with its own widgets and design.

The interface isn't the most intuitive -- I had trouble figuring out why I couldn't make certain widgets as small or as large as I wanted -- but once I learned how to do things, it all started to fall into place for me.

Thankfully, Samsung was smart not to upset the apple cart too much, as you can still access apps the traditional way if widgets just aren't working for you.

Mmmmm, I read an article that made it sound that the home button will always take you to Magazine UX and that you had to swipe all the way to the left for simple apps. Maybe I'm just assuming too much lol.

Edit: actually it was the endgadget video showed that. He had to swipe all the way to the left.

If you are rooted, there is an xposed app that gives you 4 way multiwindow. Tried it on my note 3
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] BarryH_GEG:
The "Home" button takes you to your preset home page today. Use traditional widgets (Samsung's if they aren't all "UX'd" or third party) and you wouldn't/shouldn't notice a difference from your current set up. Today pressing the home button while you're already on the home page opens My Magazine. But it can be disabled. I'm guessing Magazine UX replaces My Magazine so it could/should have an off switch too. All previous updates that Samsung released preserved a user's current experience. It would be kind of jarring if after the N10.1-14's update you suddenly didn't recognize it. ;)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Geordie Affy:
I guess you are right but this is Samsung we're talking about, nothing is ever soo simple with them haha - we in the UK are still on MJ6 LOL
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] BarryH_GEG:
Here's some more detail about Magazine UK. I have a dedicated page for each of the categories (work, social, media, and personal) so hopefully it'll streamline and jazz up my current set up. Time will tell. ;)

Every one of these new slates benefits from Samsung’s Magazine UX, which takes the My Magazine feature offered on the Galaxy Note 3 to the next level. Inspired by Flipboard but with a lot more functionality, you’ll find three dedicated screens when you fire up the Note Pro.

The first Personal Space screen displays the time, weather, news, your latest emails and favorite apps for easy access. There’s also a Work Space and Social and Media Space, all of which you can customize. You can add up to two more screens and personalize them however you like. Some may be turned off by Samsung of eschewing the typical icon-based paradigm, but you can always go back to a traditional home screen if you wish.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] anthropoidape:
As for being on MJ6... I think there's a hodge podge of deals that Samsung must have in different markets. Here in Australia the latest stock firmware is still MJ6 too, and it is really loaded up with a lot of junk that seems like it must be part of some kind of contra deals with media organisations and various other entities (NY Times etc).

I can understand them taking this approach. But I think if they were smart, they'd recognise that they can make those deals but still have a clean, generic, international firmware available for hardcore users, who tend to be opinion leaders for other purchasers. IMHO that should actually be their front-running firmware, with the bloat tacked on.

The fact that they are currently releasing devices with the same hardware but a different form factor is promising I think. It seems like they must still be going for that "lots of products" approach, but with less internal variation. I guess/hope they'll be delivering software faster in future.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] BarryH_GEG:
Part of the regional differences are the apps offered and what content is available through them. For example, I have a Trinidad P601. Samsung Hub only came with Game and Book Hub. I copied Video Hub off my N3 and got it to work but Music Hub won't work. My Story wasn't installed and also didn't show in Samsung Apps so I installed that from my N3 also. There was some other stuff to but I don't remember it all. So I agree that our lives and even Samsung's would be much easier if there was a "global" s/w platform with the same features but with the KNOX counter making even loading compatible ROMs from other regions more difficult I see things getting worse before they get better.

Which xposed module is that?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] reubenskelly1992:
Thanks for reponses. I thought for a second there was a 10.1 inch note pro. But it isn't. Ours is still top with the note feature unless you want a massive 12.2 inch. Think will be too big for most, maybe good for laptop lovers. I see it as a couple a go we had the note bit there was also the tab 2 and 3. Similar specks just the note had the note. So we StI'll have the highest one I'd say. Just feel robbed it we don't get the new touchwiz and kit Kat 4.4 though

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] JamesSawyer:
Hi All!

I have been trying to compile a Kernel for Android from Kernel.org Source. Avidly awaiting a Nexus 7 I got straight to work. I have created a zImage. I have been trying to document the process but rather than type it again I have been doing it here. If someone with a Nexus 7 wants to give this a go I would be very much grateful. This is an ongoing process. I have included the file and necessary instructions here...

It looks like I cant post external URL's .... YET! If you want to post here or PM Me I will send you the links.

If someone could test this for me it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Bogdacutu:
I'd like to help. How do you intend to test the kernel though? (since I'm not sure if it would work in Android, but of course you're probably more experienced than me)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] JamesSawyer:
Basically people flash it and then test it. People can provide their own benchmarks if they want. Against their previous Kernel versions etc. I have a sort of active thread on the Neowin Forums about this but I cant post links yet on XDA. I also got my VPS setup today to build and host the files.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Bogdacutu:
Okay then, I can do that. I assume you can PM links?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] dkryder:
You might be able to state the URL address in your post for your kernel. I'd test it and I guess others may also.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] JamesSawyer:
Hi All,

I have someone from Neowin who is going to post the links for me.

At the moment my guide and files are all disjointed I am trying to organize it better.

:cowboy:
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] MidnightDevil:
Great idea! I'll look around your thread [MENTION=263047]neow[/MENTION]in.

What supposedly differences are there from the native android kernel and one compiled using the code from kernel.org?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] JamesSawyer:
Personally I just like playing with Bleeding Edge code. You would get all the latest features from source as well as bug fixes most end users wouldn't see. Performance is to be determined, Battery life and CPU performance etc. Its also quite a little Niche that I like been a part of if it all works and comes off.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] zaclimon:
The kernel you're compiling most likely won't work if you don't even have the machine definitions nor the drivers for your nexus (seeing that you have taken the source directly from kernel.org)

The best of testing a new version would be to backport it but doing so takes an incredible amount of time and considerable skills.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] JamesSawyer:
I have used the Prebuilt ToolChain from git and also the defconfig to build the kernel from Google. I have created a boot.img this should make it easier. I am just waiting a Nexus 7 myself to test this anyway.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] sgt. meow:
You need to have proper board files, proper drivers (device-specific ones) and tons more. I don't think it will work without those. Then chances are it's not going to compile properly; it will throw tons of errors. After you get it to compile, you have to get it to boot. After you get it to boot, you have to get it fully-functional (not necessary if this is a test kernel). So unless you have gone through it all, I don't think it'll work.

BUT I may be wrong. ;)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] JamesSawyer:
It compiles no problem, That's what I am wanting people to test :good:
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] vrutkovs:

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] poondog:
wow you are building 3.13 kernel?! Impressive if it boots :P

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] JamesSawyer:
Do you have your 3.4 Kernel? Do you have notes how you built it?

Edit: Updated to include 3.13rc8
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] JamesSawyer:
I have done some more merging from latest Mainline and Flo Kernel from Google. Its building as we speak. Time to head to Tesco.

Hopefully what I have done will get rid of a compile time error I was having.

Has anyone got the ones I made previous to boot. I have my Nexus 7 on the way as of today so I will be testing it on my own sooooon!! :good:
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] JamesSawyer:
http://linux.jamessawyer.co.uk:8000/

A bit more easy to remember. There are some test builds and experimental stuff on there too. I might do requests if anyone wants me to make a build for their device let me know. Rather than the Nexus 7 2013. I only did that because thats the device I am getting

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] vrutkovs:
Thanks! However none of those zImages seems to boot (using fastboot boot zImage). Could you try making a flashable zip for those so we could cat /proc/last_kmsg in case the kernel was broken?

Also, could post the sources of 3.13-rc8-experimental (on github preferably)? I'd like to play with MSM's DRM to run Fedora and Freedreno in chroot.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] JamesSawyer:
Good Morning! Thanks for your feedback you seem to be the first.

I havent ever used GitHub but maybe.

What happens when you try boot the Kernels? I have created a boot.img for each one (Should be in the same folder). I suggest that people boot with these rather than flash it first to test it. In the same manor.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] vrutkovs:
This is essential actually if you're distributing your images - people who prefer bleeding edge kernel don't like running unknown stuff :)

Didn't flash them, so I ran 'fastboot boot zImage' in fastboot mode - and basically nothing happened: the fastboot menu was still displayed, but didn't respond to buttons.

I presume that means bootloader could not boot those kernels.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] JamesSawyer:
This is a good point! I am trust worthy ... Honest :silly: It started off a project for me as I am getting a Nexus 7 but it had been delayed so I thought I would post it here and Neowin for people to test.

Yeah maybe your right, Thats why I created the boot.img from an existing stock image with my new Kernel inside. Give that ago and let me know how you get on.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] nodstuff:
The N7 2013 can't boot zImages, it doesn't show up on the partition table. You need to have it as a boot.img.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] JamesSawyer:
I have published the boot.img files. Well night all tired... :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Bogdacutu:
Yeah that's what I'd like to do too, any chance of getting the source tree? (except I'd like to eventually get it to boot natively into Linux)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Sleepy!:
Great to see someone actually doing something novel on the N7 2013 forum :)

Carry on, OP.

Wishing you the best of luck. :cowboy:
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] vrutkovs:

[General Questions and Answers] helloyou1234:
T-Mobile offers $30 add a line SIM service meant for cell phones on their unlimited 4G data phone plans. But I would like to install this SIM in an unlocked Rogers LTE Aircard 330U, which supposedly supports the 1700/2100 frequencies (Bands 4 and ?) used by T-Mobile for their LTE service.

If I used this setup with my laptop at home as a hotspot, I could get rid of my cable TV and internet service and use the hotspot for unlimited internet. And T-Mobile's network would recognize the device as a phone?

Is this feasible?

Thus far, other than using the unproven iOS7 jailbreak on my iPhone 5S, I haven't found a cheaper way to get high-speed internet and TV (TV via streaming) at home. The next cheapest option is keeping cable internet and canceling TV service.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

By the way, what is the lowest Mbps plan I should purchase if I decide to keep cable internet, that will allow good quality and consistent live video streaming?

Thanks in advance...

First things first. The device in question is an Acer Iconia Tab A200.

Alright, so here's what's going on. Recently, something happened and the tablet asked to do a hard factory reset. It stopped at a screen that terminated in red text "Verified Failed". It is a stock device. The only thing different is that it was running Nova Launcher. No rooting, nothing else. Nearly all of the posts I have found assume that some level of rooting has occurred, and the rest are unresolved. I have nothing, not even any tools, because almost all of the links to tool downloads terminate in dead dropbox links or uncomfortably sketchy download sites. Thank you in advance for any and all help.

I have seen that page, but am not entirely sure how to flash anything to the device. I tried flashboot commands, but I am apparently missing a myriad of .dll's. Just as a point of inquiry, was the A200 not widely sold? I have seen a lot of A100 and A500, but not much from A200, A300, or A400. I apologize for my helplessness, but I have absolutely no experience with the inner-workings of android devices, and I do not know anyone who has any experience. Thank you for your help.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PradeepMurugan:
I think your recovery got messed up. if you can go to recovery mode do a factory reset from there. if XDA has forum for your device, ask there you will get a better response and solution
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hydroskull:
Yes, that is exactly my problem. Unfortunately, XDA does not have an Iconia A200 forum. It has A100, and A500, but no A200. I checked. Also, I already did a factory reset, which was the spark that led to the current problem. I have sense tried multiple factory resets with the exact same error.

A friend of mine, who apparently has de-softbricked a tablet took a look at it. He returned it with the sad news that he/we could not do anything with it due to it failing to register when connected to the computer. Thank you all for your assistance, but I now have to decide between attempting to contact Acer and just buying a new tablet.

3) Download Rom manager from play store

4) Flash recovery for jfltexx (it is only listed after you press menu and view all devices / recoveries)

DONT ODIN FIRMWARE FLASH 4.3!!! YOU WILL UPGRADE YOUR BOOTLOADER!!! KNOX BAD!!!

Try the official CWM from ROM manager. Trust me.

Go into ODIN mode and if you see knox then you are on new bootloader.

If not, don`t flash a 4.3 image with ODIN. You will not be able to go back to 4.2 easily
