[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tclocki:
Congrats on freeing yourself from IOS, and welcome to Android! Anyway, I'd like to ask first, since you're new to android, why would you want to "root" your phone? Unless you've got really good reason, I would suggest that you enjoy first the stock experience and learn the basics first. You can actually do a lot with android without having root access.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
Upgrade to Kitkat and want to write to storage cards with 3rd party apps...

Theme, run custom roms, debloat stock apps and actually OWN your device....

Did that answer your question?:p:D
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] celderic:
Yes i agree..

But for someone that has come from an apple device, i wouldnt bother for a few weeks.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tclocki:
Exactly. You dont need root to theme your phone. You dont need root to install some custom roms. We dont want a new user to do things he still dont understand which might lead him to doing an uninformed action on his phone which ultimately might end up ruinning his first android experience. I dont want to see more posts saying android is slow and laggy, it drains my battery fast and it sucks like hell - just because he unconciously did something to his (rooted and even sometimes, unrooted) device.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AscendedWisdom:
Thanks for the advice guys. It was definitely wiser to just enjoy and explore the phone for a couple weeks. I'm absolutely in love with it. I have upgraded to KitKat via the OTA update (slightly better battery, like the minor visual tweaks and even the faster unlock) and I'm ready to root the phone. The only thing is, I have a SMN900A and it seems that this build can't be rooted yet, is this true?

Also, I'm having a few issues with some apps not working time to time (TouchWiz has stopped, email has stopped, etc notifications..but then they work a few seconds later). Any advice on something I could do to prevent this?

And I really want to get rid of this bloatware on my phone, so much useless junk!!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiMz:
Welcome, im a former jailbreaker myself. Welcome to the dark side :)?

Please remeber always read read and read again when youre rooting.

I can put rooting to you in a very primitive form

1) download samsung usb drivers

2) download odin

3) download custom recovery (Clockwork mod [CWM] or TWRP)

-- essentially both do the same but some are better developed for certain devices

4) download Custom ROM and put it on you sdcard / extsdcard

5) put phone into download mode (volume down + home + power)

6) flash custom recovery using PDA

7) let phone reboot then go into recovery mode (volume up + home + power)

8) BACKUP!!!! This is called a nandroid, its basically a snapshot of your phone.

If anything goes wrong, or you're unhappy with the new ROM you are about to flash

Ypu can revert to your nandroid, ie. Travel back in time.

**** if you are going from stock or another rom to a new rom you must do a full wipe

**** if your custom rom has AROMA which is a wizard it should give you the option

**** if it doesnt have AROMA you will need to do a sytem wipe / cache / dalvik cache wipe

9) Flash via (install zip via sdcard) and enjoy

Please use this as a general guideline.

Read read read the thread whereyou are going to flash from.

Once you have flashed a custome recovery your knox switch will become 0x1 voiding your warranty

Also it should be the last time you flash a custome recovery ie. You can just do step 4. And skip 5 and 6

Altogether.

Happy flashing

Thanks for the mini guide! I have done my share of reading but I don't to attempt anything without being sure the N900Acucunc2 (not sure if I wrote that baseband right) can in fact be rooted on 4.4.2.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techniques:
Welcome to Android. Your N900A bootloader is locked so your kinda restricted. Most people bought a Tmo N3 instead since it's bootloader unlocked and use it on the ATT network. You should move over to the ATT Note 3 forums. This forum is for the international variant of the Note 3. N9005/N900

I poked around, and couldn't find the flashable zip for the ATT stock (xt1058) stock rom (4.4). Are they easy to make from the xml?

Now that more are unlocked, these are important so when you screw it up, it's easy to flash a new base to start over.

Thanks for the info.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] gino_76ph:
Hi there.

I currently have the Note 8.0 and its currently on Android 4.2.2.

I'm looking for a good Google Now and a Google Experience launcher for my tablet as the Samsung Touchwiz is well...simple and friendly but i want something a bit more "up to date".

I want something that when you say "OK Google" it will open up Google Now automatically plus those cool Kitkat icons found on the Nexus 5/7.

Any suggestions please?

or is there a better launcher apart from Google Now & GEL?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Spidey01:
More up to date, meh. Launcher's rarely change much beyond adding new bugs or regressions.

If you want the GNL/GEL just copy the APK off a Nexus or download it from one of the many news sites (like Android Police or Android Central).

If you want the icons, use something like Nova, Apex, Go, or ADW and get an icon pack. Google's launcher will not change your icons and does not support icon packs.

Existing custom launchers do not support side swipe to Google Now the way Google's launcher does. Some do emulate it by auto launching Google Now when swiping to the right but it is a poor imitation.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] gino_76ph:

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] bigmout:
The Google Experience Launcher is now available in the Play Store. I installed it on my Note 8 and have been reasonably pleased. The problem is I can't seem to get the "ok Google" detection to work. It works fine if I press the microphone button, but won't recognize it when I say "ok Google" even when I'm in Google Now. It also won't allow me to activate the "from any screen" function. When I try to train it by saying "ok Google" three times, it's like the microphone isn't picking anything up.

Has anyone managed to make "ok Google" voice detection work on their Note 8?

EDIT: Never mind, I figured it out. Button Savior (non root) uses Accessibility Service, which deactivates the microphone. Bummer.

[General Questions and Answers] netslaveone:
I searched almost everywhere for a solution.

I have the Huawei U8800pro with official ICS. I use Sygic a lot. My problem is the maps.

I use cracked versions. When I find a version that works well with my phone (not all are) I get stuck with outdated maps. I tried to download updated maps with the map downloaders but Sygic can not recognize them. I put them in the maps folder, nothing. I rename them, nothing. I can't seem to find a way to get them to work with older version.

Is there a way to get the new maps to work with an older version?
[General Questions and Answers] rafael667:
I'm searching the same. Do you find any solution?
[General Questions and Answers] dlpraja:
Is anybody found solution for above. We use old version of Sygic as interface and serching is good and fast. In new versions, it takes lot of time to search the desired location as well as it crashes frequently.
[General Questions and Answers] kourampies:
bump.

to this day the best version is still 14.3.x, mostly due to custom POI sound notification. Anyone found a solution?
[General Questions and Answers] ubaid2317:
yes there is a solution and i have implemented it successfully. download Sygic versions 14.0.1 and 15.3.3 which are of old and new interface respectively.

1. Install the new version i.e. 15.3.3 and download the desired maps.

2. Now copy the files inside the folder containing the maps e.g. sygic/maps/abc.tr.2015.03 . Copy the files inside the folder map.tr.2015.03 and keep them in a separate folder outside of sygic folder.

3. Now uninstall the new version and install the older version i.e. 14.0.1.

4. Now again download the same maps which you downloaded previously.

5. Now again go in the maps folder (sygic/maps) and you will see that the downloaded maps are not the latest maps which you downloaded with the new version because the name of the folder containing the map files will be different e.g. sygic/maps/abc.tr.2011.02. Previously it was abc.tr.2015.03 and now it is abc.tr.2011.02.

6. Now replace the files in abc.tr.2011.02 with files you copied from the folder abc.tr.2015.03.

(IMPORTANT THING IS THAT DO NOT CHANGE THE NAME OF THE FOLDER. LET IT REMAIN AS abc.tr.2011.02.)

7. Now run the sygic and you will see that it will have new maps in the older version.
[General Questions and Answers] kourampies:
I have tried this before and it didnt work for me. With Greek maps, not the TomTom ones.
[General Questions and Answers] ubaid2317:
the truth is i dont know about greek maps or tomtom maps. i just know the maps that i downloaded from sygic maps manager in settings. i am from pakistan and it worked perfectly. maybe you are changing the folder names. you are not suppose to change folder names. old folder name in old sygic (14.0.1) with new files inside and not the complete map folder only the folder with country maps files inside. and yes it does not work with every version. with me it only worked with mentioned versions 15.3.3 files in 14.0.1. do not try any other version. thankyou
[General Questions and Answers] dapgo:
So, the maps are compatible betweeen different versions of Sygic, that is pretty good. But even if the software/user interface is running, is it possible that newer maps include more featureas and therefor require more hardware?

For instance tomtom has different maps for low spec devices and high spec devices, so even having a very old gps device you can have updated maps.

Does Sygic deliver light weight and heavy weight maps?

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] summiter:
Has anyone here modified thier Wizard ROM with mamaich's imgfs tools? I'm trying to troubleshoot a problem and want to compare experiences.

The problem I have manifests itself as a strange font problem. If I take a virgin OS ROM, unpack it with imgfs tools and then pack it back up, the resulting ROM causes the fonts used in comm manager and the initial setup screens to display as Times New Roman (or similar) rather than Tahoma. The menus, Today screen etc all display properly.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hdubli:
Hi...I did try and used to dump the .nb file with all the files and modules the imgfs tools on wizard rom...it works flawlessly..but I hv not yet tried to delete or add files...

reg the font settings u can go to Universal WIki and check that out..

I hope this helps
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] summiter:
Thanks for the reply hdubli. It's not so much a font setting as a font problem caused by dumping and then fixing with the imgfs tools. If I take an OS and dump it, then fix it without changing anything at all, the font issue appears.

You can see the font problem in the cut/paste context menus that appears in the initial setup screens, as well as in the comm manager. The font in those places should be Tahoma, but they appear to be Times New Roman. In a fresh ROM straight from a carrier the proper font is displayed in those places.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hdubli:
Hi there..

Let me first congratulate u on the splendid work on AKU 2.3 ROMs..well I hv understood yr issues...may u can compare the two dumps and check..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] summiter:
I'll give that a shot. Here's what I'll do to get the two dumps for comparison:

Dump 1 will be a dump of the OS portion as-is from the carrier

Dump 2 will be a dump of a ROM that has been dumped and fixed with no changes made

In theory they should be the same, but in the past I've noticed the size of the resulting nk.nbf is always smaller after using imgfs tools and then repacking.

[Security Discussion] steadyeddy:
I patched wpa_supplicant to do wildcard access point scans passively, because **** tracking. (Wildcard means you're not looking for a particular access point, especially not one with a hidden SSID.) Seems to work perfectly, except it takes a few seconds longer to list all the access points around you. And it's a very simple patch too.

Just apply inside all the ~/android/system/external/wpa_supplicant* folders and build. Then look at the air traffic before and after installing the new binary (and resetting Wifi) with this Wireshark filter expression: wlan.addr == ph:on:em:ac:ad:dr

https://gist.github.com/anonymous/9589807
[Security Discussion] ryanbg:
Is this a true monitor mode (rfmon) patch? Either way, very nice work!
[Security Discussion] h4waii:
No. It removes directed probes to stop leaking stored network SSIDs. This is not for on-device RFMON.
[Security Discussion] steadyeddy:
Actually it's the opposite, probe requests looking for specific SSIDs still go through, but with or without this patch they only happen when your Android system remembers APs with a hidden SSID (check your wpa_supplicant.conf). And they need to happen, because it's the only way to connect to those APs. If you don't want to send out such probe requests, just don't connect to APs with hidden SSIDs, or at least "forget" them after you're done.

What the patch really does is remove nonspecific (=wildcard) probe requests. They do not leak SSIDs, but they do leak your device's current MAC address. (And more broadly, the radio characteristics of your device.)
[Security Discussion] terbospeed:
Any progress?

This work is a good idea; my development machine is down but I will test it out asap.

A patch like this, that could emulate IOS 8's new wireless behavior, could solve one part of the SSID probe problem, but having an option to not immediately trigger a bunch of wireless actions as soon as a network connection is established would be fix the other half.

Has there been any progress or tests to see if this will make our machines more secure?

Thanks for the code, I'm going to begin asking questions on the hostapd mailing list.
