[Samsung Galaxy Gear] hurdlejade:
Hi,

I'm often using my Note 3 as multifunction car device - camera recording, bluetooth music streaming, recording GPS track and running navigation - all at the same time while the screen is on... Problem is, when I get a text or mail, I don't get notification on Gear - because my Note 3 is having screen on. Is there any way to change it? I want to see navi app on Note 3 and get my notifications on my wrist...

Perhaps a fake "screen off" process?

I have Google Play Movies & TV installed on my Verizon Galaxy S3. The version number is 3.0.25. There is an option in my settings which was not there before, allowing me to download movies to my external SD card. However, I have seen no news of this update functionality anywhere else, and the same version installed on a stock Note 2 and a CM10.2 Kindle Fire HD (I copied the APK) lacks this option. Does anyone know anything about this? Here's a screenshot:

The settings on the Note 2 look identical, but lack the Storage option.
[General Questions and Answers] TerryHaze:
Hi there, apparently, option is simply not available in case when an external memory card(removable SD card) is not exist in device.
[General Questions and Answers] Nicene Nerd:
The Note 2 has a huge removable SD card in it. Play Music is already set to use it.

I've been working on an AOSP theme for MOAR V8. For now I thought I would share my apks. Not everything is finished yet but so far its looking really good on my device. :D Eventually I hope to make this with morphology or the vrtheme engine but every time I sit dow to read up on how to do that my daughter asks "Dad can we watch Dr. Who?" Lol

Just flash in recovery.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] beisboller:
Love the black dialer! Looks phenomenal...2 things...is there any way to remove the Red color from the END button? Also the green square box that shows on top of the caller ID pic ...how can that be remove as well. I'm a noobie on this but I'll get my hands dirty if needed to. ???
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Chad The Pathfinder:
As for the red box on the dialer, I think if you go into the SecContacts.apk and look through the red/drawable-xhdpi folder you can find the background with that. Then you'll need you use something like gimp to just change the color to black... If you can wait until the weekend I'll see about fixing it the way you want and making a flash able for you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Thebear j koss:
The green banner is a simple colors.XML edit in the values folder of secphone or contacts. I forget which 1...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Chad The Pathfinder:
How does this look? All I did was change the red button to black but the green box has disappeared too. Go figure. Just flash in recovery

Edit: After looking closely to this screenshot, I can see a very little dot of red in the bottom left corner of the end call button. If its a big deal I can change it later. ugh
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] beisboller:
Wow this is great! No need to be that picky thank you for the fast delivery! I'm super happy with this dialer. ..great job.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Chad The Pathfinder:
Glad you like it and I'm glad you suggested these changes. I'm really liking the new look too. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rickmatic:
Hey Chad thanks for your work here I'm really digging this. Quick question cnex posted a beta 8.1 would this work with that?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Chad The Pathfinder:
I don't know for sure what changes he made. I'm confident everything except the framework-res and possibly the settings will work. If you want, you can just switch out the res/drawable folders in the new apks with the ones from the old apks and see what happens.

Edit:

I just looked at the 8.1 zip and the settings and framework-res apks have been modified so this most likely isn't compatible.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Chad The Pathfinder:
Ok I've fixed the little red dot on the dialer end call button. DL HERE. :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Chad The Pathfinder:
If there's anyone willing to test something for me, HERE is an experiment to see if the dialer and contacts will change just using the pngs instead of the whole apk. If someone on any version of the 4.3 version of MOAR would be willing to try I'd appreciate it. MAKE A NANDROID FIRST. :cyclops:

Edit: Never mind I guess. I cant get it to work this way even with a fresh install.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rompnit:
Be sure that you always follow the path of the true apk when morphing..

I downloaded you zip, and you only need to make some minor tweaks:

MORPH\system\app

- Add the '.apk' to SecContacts

- Within both SecContacts.apk and SecPhone.apk folders, don't forget about the 'res' folder before all of the drawable, mipmap, etc..

Paths should be:

MORPH\system\app\SecContacts.apk\res\

and

MORPH\system\app\SecPhone.apk\res\

Hope this makes sense...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Chad The Pathfinder:
Thanks romp. I've been trying to figure this out. But even:

doesn't work to change my battery icons using twrp or cwm.

Edit: by the way I've been using Digiblur as my test ROM becaust its basically stock
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rompnit:
What do you have them named? 4.3 went against the grain compared to previous android versions in it's naming.

On 4.3 stock battery pngs are 'tw_stat_sys_battery_XX' where previous versions were only 'stat_sys_battery_XX'

In MOAR I redid the xml to work with the previous, removing the 'tw_'. I did that so people wouldn't have to redo all the previously made battery icons.

So if you are testing on Digiblur, make sure the pngs start with the 'tw_'

Hope this helps.;)

EDIT: One last thing about the vrtheme zip.. "Morphs" go into the 'vrtheme\system\' folder, where full apks go into the root 'system' folder.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Ch3vr0n:
1) does flashing a custom recovery on the nexus prevent OTA updates from google. I know it did for my HTC sensation XE, but nexus devices are designed for unlocking & stuff

2) if it does prevent OTA, can anyone link me to the latest & best custom recovery anyway. I know i can simply use the "fastboot boot <recoveryimagefilename>" command to boot into custom recovery without flashing it

3) if i were to flash it anyway, can i manually flash OTA's then. According to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2380113 you need stock recovery to flash OTA's, then what's the point of custom recovery (other than nandroid backups) if ya can't flash stock OTA's
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] thisguysayswht:
1) yes

2) I would use this http://www.wugfresh.com makes every thing easy as pie. I would recommend twrp (team win recovery project) wugs fresh will automatically download, and install the latest version for you :D

3) no you can't flash "factory images" but if you want you can run flash-all.bat with the SDK tools thru ADB, but that would replace your recovery with the sock one, and return you tablet to pure stock, with whatever android version you downloaded from Google. But the good folks here on xda will create an update .zip you can flash thru your custom recovery, before the ota is even available. As far as why have a custom recovery in the first place, you can flash custom software (ROM's, kernels, mods) that will have more features than all the ota's will have in 1000 years. :victory: Examples, Multi window, overclocking, undervolting, change the color of everything (lol everything) :cowboy: shortcuts every where, (EVERYWHERE, without getting in the way, I know, how, but they do it, lol) battery meter mods, themes,(change the whole GUI), expanded desktop, native screen recording, the list goes on on and on...

Anyway, no don't accept an ota while your running a custom recovery, it will probably soft brick you, but the features you will gain from custom ROM's/ kernel's will vastly outweigh the features you will ever receive from an ota (and almost all custom ROM's will be based off of the latest android version anyway, so all the latest android features will be baked in) so ya IMO you should go for it. :highfive:
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Ch3vr0n:
your 2) does not answer the question. Im not asking how to root, i've already done that

3) is wrong again. After removing a pinyin keyboard on 4.3 the 4.4 OTA wouldn't work. so YES i COULD flash a factory image. But then again. That answer is again besides the question. I'm not asking to flash a factory image. I'm asking if using a custom recovery would make it possible to still manually flash OTA's. I'm not gonna flash custom rom on the nexus either. I love the stock rom, smooth and fast but that's again besides the question
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] thisguysayswht:
2)I believe you asked what the "latest and best" custom recovery would be. (matter of opinion) I was simply trying to simplify your quest, by linking you to a toolkit that will do it for you.( wugfresh will install the latest version of twrp.. It will do much more than root your nexus... if you explore it) the check box under root. ( I personally don't use it, I prefer to do things the hard way)

;)

3) I agree the stock ROM is "super smooth, and fast", (stable) that's why I personally use the xposed framework, with the stock ROM (updated to 4.4 krt16s, with the elementalX kernel 2.2)... And yes rooting, AND removing a system app (pinyin keyboard), will make an ota fail... Don't think you asked that... I don't know about flashing an ota thru a custom recovery, never done it, but it definitely sounds like a sketch idea to me. IDK why you wouldn't just flash an update.zip. ( pretty much the same as an ota...) If you are running a custom recovery... And if you really want that stock ota... flash-all.bat is your best friend...

From some guy who's been flashin stuff, and things, since his og galaxy nexus... Owned every nexus device since then, and haven't bricked nothing yet.

Just trying to help.

Peace :)

Hello people i'm totally new to xda-dev but i hope somebody can help me.

I'm copying the message i sent to the Fairphone Support Team, maybe some solution pops up here.

Here is everything i done and my phone still is not working properly.

1) Unpacked Fairphone, everything seemed fine. It asked me the language, it asked me to configure the wifi, the wifi worked. Then i installed Google Apps and asked me to reboot, while rebooting installed also the upgrade to Fairphone Os 1.1. It didn't ask me to install or not the upgrade, it did it by itself.

2) After rebooting, wifi and bluetooth are gone. I cannot turn them on, i swipe the button to activate them, and they turn back without any effect.

3) I tried to flash the os from the Fairphone site, via recovery mode; i tried the version 1.0 and the version 1.1, and nothing changed. Then i did an hard reset via recovery mode (resetting factory defaults / and cache) and nothing changed. Then i called Fairphone office on the phone, and the guys told me to install version 1.1 after the hard reset, i did it and nothing changed.

What am i supposed to do now? As far as i know this is a know Android issue.

Regards

Hey guys

Got my LG G Pad 8.3 GPE a few weeks ago and really starting to love it. However, I'm having a hard time finding a case (available in the US) that I like. I was wondering if you guys could make some suggestions. The ones I've seen on the forum so far haven't really fit the bill or are not available in the US. I have a toddler running around. She doesn't use it but she has grabby hands, something I'm sure many of you are familiar with. I'm not looking for an otterbox but I would like it to cover the screen and provide a little impact protect from short drops (mostly on carpet). Thanks

I have a Orange SIM card which I got in Israel, I am now in Canada and that SIM works fine on my friends Nokia 6600, but when I try to use it with my XDA IIs I can't find any networks or anything. I am guessing its the GSM frequecy although the phone supports all of them. Does anyone have any idea what I need to do to get the SIM to work here? Does anyone know how to manually select a GSM frequency?

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] kiddomarc:
Hello psytech,

I believe you're roaming. Sometimes, you really cannot just plug your sim card then voila its working. If you are roaming, most of the time you really have to manually select the network.

anyway, i'm currently using windows mobile 2005, and no longer using windows mobile 2003 SE. i hope i could still help you or atleast you can see the pattern on how to do it.

here what you do:

1. click on the signal strength icon (the icon located on the upper right most portion of your screen just beside the speaker icon)

2. a dialogue box will appear with a clickable 'settings' button (located on lower left part of the dialogue box.), click the 'settings'

3. you will then see 3 tabs on the bottom part of the screen, 'phone', 'services', 'network'. click on 'network'.

4. you should find something like 'find network' button there, then just but before you click on it, choose 'manual' for network selection.

the rest is self explanatory, i hope i was able to help you. cheers! :)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] HDuser:
You say your orange sim works fine on your friends nokia but does not work in your IIs.

Is it possible that your IIS device is sim locked as in will only work on the O2 network in the country you got it from.

If so unlock it via wiki (link in sig)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] psytech:
not it

I forgot to mention that the SIM worked fine in Isreal, my original SIM is orange (I do have an account with) I just can't get support cause I didn't buy the phone from them (capitalists).

About the network search. Thats what I've been doing for the last couple of days but I can not find ANY networks at all. which is what leads me to believe that its a GSM frequency problem.

My friend's SIM doesn't work on my phone either. If canada is 1900, how can I make sure that my phone is currently using 1900. (I know it supports it, but how do I actually see that its actually scanning with it?)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] kevino:
What happens if you go to Settings->Phone->Network and then change Network Selection to Manual.

You should then get a list of networks. This will list all networks even if you cannot connect to them.

[edit] :oops: This has already be suggested earlier in the thread :oops:

If you do get some networks then the only reason that I can think of that you are not connecting is that under Prefered Networks you have a network selected that your carrier does not have a roaming agreement with.

Check your provider's website to see who they have agreements with.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] psytech:
no networks

My provider (Orange) has agreements with Rodgers, but my problem is that I am not listing ANY networks, I tried manual and even added the Rodgers network to my favorite networks, but when I try to search for networks I can't find any, I just get a blank window. This is very odd to me and I've never heard of anyone with that problem.

Like I've mentioned before, I updated my windows to TuMa 1.4 and my radio to 1.1.15. If there's anything else I need to do or anything I may not have done when I updated my network please tell me.

btw when I installed that TuMa windows I change my ID thingy to Tmobile.

Hi,

the Replicant team made me aware of something.

Replicant is an Android fork ROM that emphasizes on security and privacy (e.g. they removed all Google services from Android).

This is their article I'm talking about:

http://replicant.us/2013/11/fairphone/

I think all the software is free now (correct me if it isn't). Links in benkxda's thread.

But what about the modem being embedded in the SoC? I guess that's the case?

That would mean the Fairphone is not completely secure.

So let's make ourselves heard that we would be happy to see the next device without a modem embedded on the SoC.

What the Fairphone has achieved in regard to openness and fairness so far is considerable and great! I'd like that to continue, so that's why I bring this up.
[Fairphone 1] sidingFP:
some security possible?

Hi Unrelashade,

thank you for bringing this topic up. I think complete security is not possible - even the encrypted blackberry of cancellor Merkel was hacked.

But "some" security should be possible - and I think the main problem is me: The things I do wrong, the rights I give to apps and the way I do backup and data storage. So I kindly would like to aks you guys for some advice - How can I save my private data and also my companies data from data selling companies or a theft?

So I try a combination of:

* active sync of my data (e-mails, contacts, ...) with my own server (egroupware) - no sync with google or other free services

* encryption of phone storage with good password

* possibility to wipe my phone remotely in the case I loose it (not testet yet)

* Xposed & Xprivacy to limit data distribution by some apps

Now I have the feeling, that Xprivacy could kill the remote wipe - that would be very bad.

Furthermore, I am not familiar with the settings in egroupware - I did not find the remote wipe function yet or other active sync security features.

And I am missing a good backup methode - save and practical. Finally there may be a lot of things I do not know yet but I should take care of.

Could you help me to improve security in a reasonable way? Could you point me to a how-to with android and the egroupware ?
[Fairphone 1] Unrelashade:
You're right, secure is not the right word. What I mean is that most phones might be used as a remote spying device. There is a way to build them so that this is not possible and that's worth working towards as a goal, imo.

On security with Android in general there are probably a lot of good threads/ websites, e.g. see the posts of the xda portal (news) tagged with "say sayonara" (to google services):

http://www.xda-developers.com/tag/say-sayonara/

To me it sounds like the only step you need to take to protect your data is to uninstall/ not install Google Services. They're deeply embedded into Android but there are people who work for a Google free Android system, see my link from the OP to replicant or e.g. this thread by Marvin

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1715375

I'm not sure if the fairphone system that is downloadable is completely free of Google Services, you may want to check that.

The only thing left then is that the Fairphone is still a smartphone with the modem embedded on the SoC. That still makes it possible to be used as a remote spying device (see my OP) if I understand it correctly.
