[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] Bhargav97:
To All Galaxy 5 developers,

Please, sensiorly leave your replies here, about this issue. Can't we modify our galaxy 5's BOOTLOADER and just enable hotkey functionality for recovery (just as there is one for Download mode vol down+select+power)?

I want a permanant hotkey. Not the temporary one that disappears after a data wipe.

There are total three hotkey functions on our Galaxy 5:-

1)Hard Reboot (Vol. Up + Power)

2)Download mode (FOR ODIN)

3)ARM11 boot mode (useless for us)

NOW, Almost all of the Galaxy 5 users are in need of the 4th Hotkey functionality,

That is Recovery hotkey (If possible to create then we can set it as Vol. Up+select+power)

It is found in cheaper devices than our Galaxy 5 also (like Galaxy y, Galaxy star, etc.). Just an issue with our Galaxy 5 is that it was launched earlier than these devices.

So, finally I want to know, if it is really possible to edit bootloader (or boot.img also may work) to enable a Recovery hotkey

OR

Is it a totally hardware based and cannot be enabled by us?

Plzz leave your knowledgeable replies here.

I really need this...Plzz tell me the truth.

Thanks in advance.

Does mobile Odin work on our device? If so can flash d recovery without a

Pc n then get into recovery mode
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] Bhargav97:
It works. But what about bootloop situations and many such others?
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] madkiran:
a developer named nEnd in madteam has already did Recovery Hot Key. It also worked fine in CM7 to 10. but he lost his mobile and stopped the development. If someone else can take that project to their hands and develops for CM11, it will be very helpful.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] Bhargav97:
I told I want a permanent hotkey. The one by nEnd gets vanished after a data wipe.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] Vagelis1608:
Nobody knows how to unlock the bootloader of our device.

We can't get a permanent hotkey until somebody unlocks it.

Hi Guys,

So i put a custom boot animation on my phone, i am running carbon rom 4.4 aosp

i have pushed the file to system\media but no luck

i have installed xblast xposed, which shows a preview of my boot animation which showed it working but when i reboot its just black?

is there something i am missing?

any help would be great
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Repulsa:
hi there mate when yor done pushing the file on System>Media , make sure you set the Permission for this file into rw-r-r. have a nice day.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CallumMarks77:
Thanks for the reply this is the way I know how to set permissions which ones need to be ticked?

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CallumMarks77:
No cause boot animations are a zip.... That's what the default is... I'm not on tw so it's not that other kind of format
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Repulsa:
I understand :) but yea you should fix the permission just like that. have a nice day
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CallumMarks77:
That is my permissions and it doesn't work aha
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Repulsa:
I really dont know what rom your using , AHA, and here's the information about how Bootanimation.zip can be placed in /system/media with custom roms or in or /data/local with stock roms with custom kernels as Battery Extender, Cf-root...

So, mount system (R/W) and paste bootanimation.zip in system/media/ or in in /data/local/ and set the correct permissions rw--r--r-- (if it doesn't work set rwxrwxrwx as permissions , and i hope someone willing to help you with this problem.Have a nice day.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CallumMarks77:
Hmm just tried all this and still no luck, I think my custom rom is blocking it somehow, will try it again I a different rom when I change next :) thanks for your help

Is there anyway to Unlock the Samsung Galaxy S3 T999 with Android Version 4.3 , I tried everything , Downgrade Firmware , Change Modem to UVLJC and nothing . Help please
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Adreaver:
Flash a 4.1.1 or 4.0.4 ROM and modem (not Odin, or you will brick), then follow the unlock guide.

Alternately if you have the phone thru T-Mobile they will unlock it for you if the bill is current, or you can buy an unlock code online for under $10.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] wargold:
It doesnt work that way either. It lose the imei with a different MODEM, you need to flash it again the New Modem to recover the IMEI. Please I need to unlock this device. Any ideas?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Where 4.3 is concerned, there is no way to unlock using any of the previous methods. Your best bet is to call T-Mo
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mike102871:
Im having problems sim unlocking as well. T mobile sent me a code that does not work. Still waiting on there help. Suggestions?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] K6TJS:
Did you ever solve your problem. I have the same issue. I got the code from Tmo and is says unlock unsuccessful. I havent called them yet.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mike102871:
It's kind of resolved. There are sending me a replacement s3 but they are on back order. Been 4 days and nothing.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] K6TJS:
Well after calling TMobile again and spending close to an hour on the phone they escalated me to "Someone Will Call You Back" LOL

So Today I downloaded the stock 4.1.1 and loaded with odin. Then Used the steps in the below thread to obtain sim unlock without TMobiles help.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mike102871:
I got a replacement pho e sent . Its already on 4.3 got a new unlock code. And it does not work again . What is with tbem sending wro g unlock codes. Is it a problem because of 4.3? Im fed up with this.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] w33rdst:
sim unlock 4.3

You only have two options... Option 1, You wait until kikkat 4.4 become available for upgrade then unlock the phone with same code. Or option 2, you find the stock rom that came with the the phone which is the ice cream 4.04. Then use odin to downgrade and then you can use the same code. :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] supreme83:
You can not downgrade from 4.4 or 4.3 to a lesser android version

Hello friends..

I appreciate having a place to ask this question. Verizon pushed out the jelly bean 4.3 update.. I have done a delay but how can i stop it, delete the updater and make it never ask again? I am nit an expert with phones, thiugh i a, a geek for many decades! :confused: So a n00b here.. I am hoping to find something out today as i dont see how i can stop it. There was no way to get rid of the screen without delaying.. And now i am afraid i am messed up. I finally got wireless working, and i dont really want any of the new enhancements. When i upgraded to ice cream well.. That took forever to fix. Lol

Thanks for your help.

Smiles your way... And much appreciation,

I disabled software update under application manager and have not been asked to update since.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wildpetals:
What application do you disable

I have gone throu all the applications, but not sure whichine to disable.. Nor am i sure you make it disable.. There is nit an option to disable..that i see.

There are so many applications, and which exact one? I am not sure.

Thanks for your information. Sorry i cant figure out how to do it!

Smiles to all.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gc84245:
It's called "software update". I have the Canadian version of the phone so it may be slightly different but it worked for me. Or if you get a notification to update, press and hold the notification then swipe down to expand it, it should say "app info". Click on "app info" then disable.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wildpetals:
Option to disable greyed

Hello... Thank you so much for writing. I did what you said, and the only option was to force stop. Disable was greyed. So i force stopped.. There is a clear cache button too. Not sure if i should clear the cache... Wy dont they want us to have a choice when or if to update!.?

Oh, on my handset it is called SDM

Is there anything else I can do? I really do appreciate your assistance...

Thank you... Smiles your way.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gc84245:
Sorry I couldn't be of more help, on my phone there is the option to disable so I don't know what else to do. Maybe try unchecking "show notifications" from the same "app info" screen?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wildpetals:
I really appreciate your information and time. I wonder why they have so many differences for the software. Do you know If i clear the cache will it delete thhe downloaded update? I worry if i take off the notification.. Will it just install without telling me? You have been a big help. Smiles your way.

since i do not have a fixed wifi at home, i have my android (cink peax 2 running 4.1.2) share it's interent connection by broadcasting a wifi. to this wifi, an apple airport express station and a macbook connect (which works so far). the macbook can now stream music to the airport but i do not get this working with the android (streaming music from the android to the airport, that is).

i tried honeyplayer, twonky beam and aoa but neiter of these apps work when the android is providing the wlan.

now i start wondering... is this actually possible or should i just give up?

thanks for any help!!

[HTC First] russian392:
Hey yall. After trying many methods of enable the soft keys which i really like my self, i finaly found out whats messing it up.

in /system in build.prop there is a bit of code which looks like that in the screenshot. my problem was i kept adding code when i simply needed to change the existing code to 0 instead of 1. as shown in the screenshot

also as you can see they work in the xda app. but the buttons dont work in any other app.

anyone know why? i tried changing resolution in build prop and nothing. so i need some help.

So again. My problem is that i cant get the nav bar to work all the time.
[HTC First] russian392:
Okay um. Attempted to change DPI in build prop. It did work and change DPI but softkeys still only work on the xda app.

I'm thinking maybe disabling hw capatative buttons will fix the problem.
[HTC First] russian392:
Attempted using gravity box with xposed installer but nothing that way.
[HTC First] russian392:
Attempted to turn off hw buttons. That didnt work either
[HTC First] russian392:
Attempted to add a persist code to the soft key

Persist.qemu.he.mainkeys=0

That didn't help
[HTC First] russian392:
after doing some research, all i figured out was that i would have to decompile and modify the framework-res.apk...

even though i have experience with making apps, i get so lost in google's apps since they arent compiled with classes, its all pure xml and all of it doesnt make sense, so if anyone could, please, figure out what to do in the framework res, to make the nav bar work better, id be very grateful

you can find it at /system/framework

thanks
[HTC First] abrahammmmmmm_:
Well nice find so far! I really like the idea of on screen soft keys but what other use would it have that we can't get from the 3 hardware one's we've got? Does the screen feel crowded, because I imagine that with the thickness of them it'd be pretty cramped
[HTC First] russian392:
Well you could give it a go and see what its like when running the xda app. Unless it works normal.

Um..screen isn't really crowded. Its about two status bars thick. Uses? Um...I know it has a recent app button. And if you're using a keyboard it will give you the option to minimize it. Other than that its just a nexus feel. And once you enable it you can use apps or xposed installer to have them minimized and you can toggle them like a status bar when ever you need it.
[HTC First] abrahammmmmmm_:
I have to be deodexed right? Because I just tried it and nothing happened.. I've got the odexed version of the ROM for the extra speed boost
[HTC First] russian392:
I never learned the difference but I guess. I never flashed any other ROM. I'm still on the one the phone shipped with.
[HTC First] abrahammmmmmm_:
Well an odexed ROM basically prevents any modifications to the firmware or any major graphic ui change but in turn opens apps faster so I'm guessing that's the problem
[HTC First] russian392:
That could be the problem.

Stock ROM works really well on my device so I'm not changing it till we get cm.

But I'm just wondering why it won't let the nav bar be persistent, even though I addad a persist command to it. And only works on the xda app
[HTC First] russian392:
I think I figured out the problem. The framework-res.apk manages the overall layout of android, I just need to figure out which if the 600 xml files does that and give the nav bar a bottom margin.
[HTC First] abrahammmmmmm_:
Major find or not I've found out that the app also works with wordrefernce.com it's an old app. I found out today in French class lol but for some reason the on screen soft keys don't work with the premium xda app. Also I should say that there seems to be a 1 second lag when pressing the on screen keys. Unlike the hardware ones that are instant. I've also got lag everywhere else in the phone.. Don't know if this is a side effect
[HTC First] russian392:
I've managed to freeze my phone many times just going through the app drawer so...its not a side effect.

I actually get around 700ms worth of lag using hard keys so I don't feel a difference. But yeah for some reason the only work on some apps...

Personal opinion. If you want a nexus feel then you would use it. But its gonna tale a while till I figure out what's wrong. I'm still working with framework-res.apk at the moment
[HTC First] russian392:
Okay apps that use the soft keys include

At&t our scanner.

World conqueror 2.

Busy box.

Old xda app.
[HTC First] russian392:
see, i sold my broke first and when i was doing a factory reset and testing to make sure none of my info was present, the nav keys became persistent

So to make the be active 24/7 you MUST DO a factory reset....or maybe just a dalvik wipe, but i did a full reset and they worked fine.
[HTC First] hengsheng120:
you need to write script (i don't the commands) to enable it after qemu.hw.mainkeys=1

Auto Hide Soft Keys 's Spoof Soft Keys option can enable it via hack, so there is a way to activate it on boot when it doesn't show

that's why i told you to show me the info

if you are supercid that means also that you are on S-OFF

[Nexus 5 Accessories] TyroneLT:
With both these battery cases now up on Amazon (Limefuel one up for pre-order). I was wondering which one of these cases is the better buy.

i-Blason

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00H4PCVQ0/0060-20

Limefuel

http://www.amazon.com/Limefuel-L28N5-Rechargeable-External-Protection/dp/B00GG0S00A
[Nexus 5 Accessories] DiamondBond:
I-Blason is cheaper, reflects sound front so i think iblason is better, ;)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] duckied:
Or wait till the zerolemon is release then decide? They said they will release mid January but if they drag I'll probably pick up the limefuel one.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] akarol:
Why? Just cause its more expensive doesn't necessarily mean it's better. You wouldn't own the N5 if that was a the case.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] duckied:
Whoow don't get all hurt about it man, lol I like the way limefuel case is put together. It seem like a better design IMO. I don't recall saying it was better because its more expensive.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] flintfirewalker:
There is at least one video review of iblason case on YouTube. It's not as much a review, coz the video does not talk about how it performs. None for limefuel. I think I'll wait till some reviews come out, comparing the two. What I wonder is why the wireless charging technology not being taken advantage of for these cases? These cases make the phone too long and asymmetrical.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] phobium:
In my experience, cases that clip together from the top and bottom (i-Blason) are much more durable than ones that clip together from the front and back (LimeFuel). Chipped holding teeth are common on the latter.

i-Blason is cheaper, but the LimeFuel touts a larger battery. We'll have to wait and see if the capacities (2860mAh vs. 2500mAh) are overstated, or even understated.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] flintfirewalker:
Also, limefuel, from the concept video, looks like it protrudes too much in front. But it is after all a concept video, so I guess we wait till a proper product review comes out.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] nyvz:
Another significant difference seems to be that I-blason is 500mah output and limefuel says 1.5a or 3times faster charging. I-blason may not provide enough output to keep your phone charging during use, which means it won't save you if your internal battery is near dead and you need to keep using your phone, since it may not give the phone enough juice to run the phone during use and have any left over to charge the battery. This may have significant implications for how it affects your internal battery's life. A high output battery could be left on to avoid your internal battery from ever having to get cycled, whereas one with too low output may constantly go between charging and discharging your internal battery. I may go with the i-blason anyway since it says its available starting today and the price is lower, but it may take more managing its use to avoid negative effects on your internal battery and to avoid getting your internal battery low enough that it won't keep your phone running.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] FuMMoD:
In theory that would be a no Brainer to get Limefuel but I won't believe it until someone runs tests.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] abdel12345:
Limefuel one looks ugly and fat. The iblason is the one I'd go for

[Nexus 5 Accessories] DC_Erok:
I am waiting for the zerolemon to compare all three cases. From my research of the online reviews, it appears the ibasion and lime are nearly the same and the lime has slightly more battery. The lime seems to press a little on the glass screen protectors so if you have the defective spigen glass with the bubble, it should hold it down and the bubble go away. I haven't seen any reported issues stating this messes with the touch.

I had a casology case that would hold my spigen glass and it would cause my nexus 5 to not recognize my touches.

I figure I waited this long, I can wait another 3 weeks to compare all three cases against each other.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Balur:
I bought an iblason, it arrived two weeks ago on the nose.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] lmt1979:
I've kinda screwed myself here. I am in the bootloop most people talk about. I've tried fastboot flashing recoveries, tried erasing the cache before and after fastboot flash recovery commands. I had a ton of trouble initially flashing a recovery. Before I just flashed it over and over and it finally took.

I can fastboot devices and see my device/serial number but adb doesn't see anything.

I also don't have a bootable OS on the phone that I can see. (not that flashing in the OS worked anyway).

I have multiple computers/operating systems at my disposal and have tried: 32 bit Win 7, 64 bit Win8 and 8.1 and 32 bit Linux Mint(ubuntu)

Anyone have any advice I'd much appreciate it. Right now I have a pocket vibrating brick.
