[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] Mandeep148:
ah sorry for noob question,

bro, is that possible to install themes without root? i am non root person :(

can you share apk of custom stype theme, so i can install it, will it work without root?

thanks in advance.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] funky0308:
Nope, that's not possible.

You have to disable signature check in services.jar (SUPERUSER MOD) because system is always checking your themes(apps) keys.

We don't have those keys to sign our apps, only Sony has them, so we must disable/delete that part of code in services.jar. / Patching services.jar

To do that you have to be able to change your system files - you need administrative rights or in one work root.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] Mandeep148:
oh thanks bro :(

Haha, true

I quoted it wrongly.

I need framework-res and semcgenericuxpres

i'm not rooted atm and so, don't have accest to them, but I saw that people in same status are using modded themes
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] funky0308:
3rd party themes?

I really doubt that but if you need those files I'll upload them.

Hey Funky, tnks in advance. don't need them anymore.

Just saying, I had access to almost full files in "System" folder without root, through "Airdroid" :good:

will this work with system apks and not screw up the app?
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] funky0308:
As long as you only replace png files it'll work.

You can't add png because you have to add few things more besides png (line in public.xml, line in string, style or color...)

So, if you have home_background.png and you want to change it.

Extract it with winzip, edit and put it back.

That will work on any apk file.

DON'T DO THAT ON 9.PNG FILES

I've rushed into trying to root my Galaxy S4, but used the wrong process. I have a GT I9505 and used the SCH-I545 pre-release kernel making it stick after the samsung screen.

KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING

I'm about to finish downloading the STOCK rom, going to flash that via ODIN and wipe through recovery mode. Hoping this works.

Please help! At this point I would like to get my phone back to normal or root it properly. Thanks

I can get into recovery and download mode. UK phone, It's on vodafone network I'm unsure if it's locked or not I haven't done anything.,

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joery1983:
Just flash stock and the warning will disappear. It only states that you do not use the Samsung kernel.

Other possibility is just flash an other kernel that does work for ure phone. The warning will remain but it's nothing to worry about

If you flash stock and you want your phone rooted afterwards just download cf auto root for your phone and flash it trough odin. This does nothing else to your phone than rooting it. I'm not allowed to post links but I'll sent you a pm with the link of the correct cf auto root file.

I'm looking to save on my international SMS costs - a lot of forums mentioned that I should use the GPRS based clients where you can send SMS around the world for about 4p. However, services like SMSBug use a Java client which I can't seem to install on my Vario...

Are there any alternatives so that I can use SMSBug or similar on my PocketPC?

I have used smsbug to send sms to india from the usa. I used the java from the extended rom. If it is not on the vario go to the ftp and download any extended rom and run the cab file with the mms and java on it. then open up the smsbug.jar or smsbug.jad file within the java app and go through the setup. There is also an app on pocketgear or handango where you can use smsbug. i forgot the name of the application but it used to run on pocketPC 2003se. do a search for sms gprs or smsbug on both of those sites and the app should come up. You have to pay for the app but it does have a free trial.

I have already unlock my att note 3 by unlock code

everything works grate but i have 2 questions

is this a permanent unlock ??

and why i'm unable to use the hotspot its will says the sim card is valid ??
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 440bro:
Yes unlocking is permanent. I've always written the unlock code inside the battery cover for the heck of it.

Hotspot or tethering is only activated if your carrier allows it. It's usually an additional service. If you have the service and its not working, you might need to manually input APN settings. There are also work arounds to enable the service if you don't have it. You have to search for those.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amukhamer:

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solarenemy68:
Just because you have a data plan does not mean you have tethering and hot spot. Those are additional services you have to pay for on top of your regular data plan. Unless you have a 5GB plus plan then tethering is usually included but Hotspot is still an additional service sometimes.

You need to contact AT&T and see if you actually have Hotspot included with your data service.

Try overclocking your phone. Also, remove some useless apps. Debloat your phone too.

P.S. Facebook uses loads of RAM and power.

P.S. I find that toucher pro's clear memory function clears memory really well.

Hello everyone,

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition and I wanted to use a traditional keyboard and mouse when I was working at home; however, the battery drains very quickly. Is there a way that I can do this AND have it charging through my OTG cable and powered USB hub?

I've been searching around and almost every response said that the tablet must be rooted. I was perfectly happy keeping it stock, but I wanted to have this functionality, so I found this and rooted it successfully.

Can somebody please walk me through step-by-step on what I should do next?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmorton10:
If you're talking about a Verizon phone, ALL Verizon Note 3's have locked bootloaders & probably always will.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam30era:
Only the Developer Edition, available directly from Samsung, has an unlocked bootloader. But can root and install custom ROMs by using hashcode's Safestrap, available in the Development section.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DizzyFox:
Ok I know I have the note 2 now 4.3 on it I got it rooted but no way to insall custom roms. No SafeStrap Love. So even with a note 3 you cant install cwm recovery regardless of what android version you are running right?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
To answer both your questions - the latest release "MJE" is still rootable (e.g. with Kingo). By "rootable" here I mean something quite specific: you can get a root shell in the OS and modify the /system partition. Little else.

The other responders here are making the point that the retail VZW Note 3 has a crypto-signed bootloader sequence which has not yet been subverted, and everything is checked right up to and including bootable images (the recovery or the OS kernel). So (for now), no custom recoveries or custom kernels on the retail Verizon Note 3 - but you CAN modify the "ROM". Buy a developer version instead if you want to be sure you will be able to use custom kernels and ramdisks.

Within that limitation SafeStrap (a "pseudo-recovery") is still pretty nice - it is derived directly from TWRP, and behaves almost the same fashion, but with a few tweaks. It captures control early in the STOCK kernel boot sequence, and allows you to "flash" ROMs, and also maintain alternate ROM slots similar to a multi-boot arrangement. This happens via some mounting magic where alternate ROM slots are just file-blobs that live in the /data partition. To it's credit, it behaves in a way where this is mostly transparent to the normal "ROM flashing process". (It symlinks the boot partition to /dev/null so that any attempts to flash a custom kernel appear to happen, but those bits go bye-bye into the bitbucket).

Anyway - the upshot is that on the retail version, any "custom" ROM needs to live happily with the STOCK kernel and ramdisk. So, for example using CM11 for the retail Verizon Note 3 is currently out of the question. But there are a few custom ROMs that live with this limitation - head over to the dev forums and check them out. Just make sure to take note if a ROM is designated as a "developer Edition only" ROM; those will generally not be operational on the retail VZW Note 3.

Over the long term, if the bootloader security is not hacked, it will certainly put a huge damper on XDA development efforts for the VZW Note 3. But you still can do plenty with the tools that Safestrap gives you.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DizzyFox:
Thank you so much that totally clarifies all my concerns. Ive always owned phones even thru Verizon that I could root and unlock the bootloader. Thanks to great Devs. love the note even this note 2 maybe someine will give it a safestrap. Again. Thanks

[Samsung Infuse 4G] dmullens:
Hi all,

My daughter's Infuse 4g was having issues (wouldn't turn on, and if it did, wouldn't stay on) while she was at college. She took it to the AT&T store and they told her she needed a new phone. We purchased one, but when she got her Infuse 4g home, I was able to get it working again.

Anyway, now I have an Infuse. We have four kids so from time to time we need a 'backup' phone. This would make a good backup phone. It is completely stock and unrooted.

I'm debating on trying to get CM11 on it. I see there is an unofficial release. However, I know nothing about the history of the Infuse, how easy it is to brick, how easy it is to unbrick etc.

So, should I just leave this phone "as is" or work to get CM 11 on it? I'm currently reading through some of the forum threads, but if there are issues putting roms on this phone, it would be nice to know before I put a lot of time in on it.

Any opinions?

Thanks!!!

[Samsung Infuse 4G] eZdubzitmk4:
I never had problems for 2 years
[Samsung Infuse 4G] eksasol:
It's actually easy to "brick" the Infuse, all you do is break the USB charging port, I have a lot of experience with Galaxy S devices and they all have poor USB port durability especially when it come to water damage, so that's one thing to watch out.

Personally, I recommend using CM9 on the Infuse. CM11 roms to me are still buggy and the performance isn't very good. Beanstalk rom does a pretty good job, but for now there are still slow down issues and poor Webkit performance. So far I get very good stability and performance with CM9.

Here is a guide I wrote on root, flash and restore the Infuse, it's pretty easy: http://forums.androidcentral.com/t-...m-recovery-kitkat-factory-restore-infuse.html
