[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AndroBoy823:
this may sound wierd but i would like my galaxy s3 to look like the galaxy s2.....is there any apps that can help or a rom that can help me...if so please provide instructions....i havent the slightest clue why but i just like the touchwiz interface that the galaxy s2 had....so basically i am asking is there a way to get the original touchwiz from the galaxy s2 over to my galaxy s3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
Are you talking about gingerbread TouchWiz? If so then there is no way, this phone never ran gingerbread.

The lowest you can go is ics, and that's pretty similar to jellybean. If you're on 4.3 though you're completely stuck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AndroBoy823:
so there would be no way to downgrade touchwiz to that version...or there isnt a rom out there with that version on it????.....that is interesting...that version of touchwiz was simplier..i never owned a galaxy s3 but i know someone that does lol and comapred to my touchwiz version thiers is better
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
I don't know what version you're talking about, I'd need to know more details. But if you're on 4.3 you can't use anything else if you're on 4.1 you can use anything that's available.

There was no rom made for the s3 that had 3.0 on it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DroidOnRoids:
You can use a custom launcher like Nova Launcher and download a Galaxy S2 theme in the Play Store.

Hey all,

I've been working at Pluto.TV (http://pluto.tv) for a few months now as the lead mobile developer. We just launched today on the web, Android, and iOS.

It has been awhile since I've published an app, and I'm pretty proud of how the Android app turned out. 8/10 #HOLO?

The app is available on Android 4.1+ on all types of configurations. Chromecast support is coming soon!

Let me know what you all think.

This application works great and such a beautiful ui. Hands down one of the best TV applications on the market
[Android Apps and Games] JLishere:
Really great job. I can't wait for Chromecast support. I've only been watching for a couple hours (on desktop) and already, I can see it changing the way I use YouTube at home. Keep it up!
[Android Apps and Games] JLishere:
Any ETA on proper Chromecast support?

The PR surrounding Chromecast is all over the place right now. Your social media reps are claiming Pluto.TV does support Chromecast, but there's a difference between casting a browser tab and built-in Cast buttons (Chrome API and APIs for mobile apps). Right now, you can't cast from Android, and the only way to watch on TV is to cast a tab (which is laggy).
[Android Apps and Games] primetime34:
I'm also interested when true chromecast support will come for the mobile apps. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Dan-SRi:
Says not available in my country! (UK)
[Android Apps and Games] CtrlAltDelIrl:
[MENTION=3308604]jondwillis[/MENTION] I think you should upload the app here too for those who don't have access to the playstore. Not everyone wants or uses a google account.

Nice app btw ;)

Is it possible

Is it possible to get it without commercials? About a minute and a half of what I want to see, followed by three minutes worth of commercials.
[Android Apps and Games] Mahesar:
It is very interesting to have a great TV at home. I really like it.

Recently I was scrolling on Instagram I found Pluto TV is such a great which supports Chromecast as well.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] xfaethorx:
Hi, first off im new to the XDA EXEC so be gentle :), I've already unlocked and updated the device and now I'm just getting use to customizing it.

I've installed GSPocketMagic and although i can get it running theres a few things im unsure of.

1. it seems to slow the boot up of the device considerably, don't know why or if that might be some remnance of O2 stuff kicking around on the device.

2. The icons don't seem to blend into the themes properly. For instance the close buttons seem to be of a different colour and you can easily see that. On the main today screen when no apps are running I have an obvious discoloured sqaure in the top right hand corner. I'm guessing this might have something to do with the bmp pallettes for the images? anyone done anything about this?

3. Skining the menu , on the download site is shows its possible but i've had no luck.

it looks like a good app but its just not reaching what i need any ideas on how to configure it properly as so far from what i've seen theres limited information on it and i've not found any translations etc.

Regards
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] tweakradje:
Download the latest here: http://homepage3.nifty.com/UK-taniyama/tools/GSPMagicPP.html

Goto Start menu > Option > Setting... and and "play" with the settings of GSPocketMagic++

Cheers
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] xfaethorx:
i've had a play with the settings already and could really find what I was looking for the most i've managed to do is change the startup menu button to an image but it didn't resolve the fact that the button images for say close are off colour (even if you install the VGA xscale version (as i stated before).

Also I can't see how you skin the menu so it'd look similar to that of the existing menu bar (just for continuity of the plug in). Then finally theres the fact on boot its terribly slow to start up with this addition (or so it seems). However its still a vanillia(ish) device so i could be som O2 crap kicking around that i haven't removed yet?

dunno..hence the thread.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
Smallmenu and GSPocketMagic will take quite a while to generate the icon cache on first launch. Just let it do it. It doesn't do it again after the first launch unless you manually refresh. It takes about 30 seconds for me.

V
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] tweakradje:
If you goto Goto Start menu > Option > Setting... and directly close de Setting page it wil refresh the cache again. You can time it how log it takes. I have about 30 shortcuts in the menu (which I pointed to \windows\start menu\programs and not the standard folder), also to the SD card, and it takes about 4 to 5 secs to refresh it.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Pop45398:
I'm having reception issues and would like to try the 5.18 update (with its included 1.35a.32.45.27_10.144.32.34a radio) but I require root (I read the thread here that says the WeakSauce Root works on the AT&T ONE X but am not sure about using an exploit that has to reroot on every boot, albeit automatic). Searching for rooting information for the latest AT&T 5.18 update, I came across this Chinese thread: Translated Chinese forum link. The OP includes the AT&T ROM, Chinese language pack file, Chinese APN file, and a root file. I can't read Chinese and there is much lost in the Google translation but from what I can tell this is the American AT&T 5.18 ROM, and at least one poster said the rooting worked.

My current setup is:

Ver: 4.1.1

ROM: 3.18.502.6.71ORD

HBOOT-2.14.0000

RADIO-0.24p.32.09.06

Bootloader unlocked, Super CID, S-OFF, rooted

Faked locked and S-ON status

1. My first and most important question is, being S-OFF with Super CID, If I update to 5.18 and I can't root it, can I still reflash with something else?

2. The root package (which I am attaching) is a zip. I assume after flashing 5.18 I'll have to flash a custom recovery by this means, "fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img," correct?

3. I also assume the bootloader will be relocked and will need to be unlocked again. Can this be done by the normal method?

4. Will I need to Super CID again?

Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
You're over thinking it. Since you are s-off, you can do almost anything, and not worry about having to root, SuperCID, unlock the bootloader, etc. again.

You also have several options:

a) Yes, you can run the 5.18 RUU if you like. I don't even think you have to relock the bootloader, since you are s-off. You will still be SuperCID and S-off after RUU. Although since RUU re-installs stock recovery, you will need to install TWRP again. At that point, you can always flash SU to root, and/or install custom ROMs.

b) If its just the radio you want to try, you can just install the 2.18 firmware: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2651052

This will keep your current ROM intact, but it might be your desire to update that anyway.

c) Just because a radio is newer, does not necessarily mean it will be "better" in your particular area. The "best" radio is often a trial and error exercise. Since you are s-off, you can flash any of the radios here to see if they yield any improvement: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1694012

Also, while a different radio may give some improvement, I won't expect any miracles. Might even find reception is worse.

[MENTION=660462]redpoint73[/MENTION]

Thanks for the response, just what I was wanting to know... and yes, I often over think things. I"ll give 5.18 a try.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Also, the answers to your questions in blue font:

1. My first and most important question is, being S-OFF with Super CID, If I update to 5.18 and I can't root it, can I still reflash with something else?

Since you are s-off, you can still flash custom recovery, install custom ROMs, run older RUUs, etc. So there would be a variety of ways to revert, if you wanted to.

2. The root package (which I am attaching) is a zip. I assume after flashing 5.18 I'll have to flash a custom recovery by this means, "fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img," correct?

If the intent of the method is to root a phone that was never bootloader unlocked (which is also the only reason you would ever need a new root exploit) then NO that doesn't make any sense. If the bootloader is locked, you can't flash custom recovery.

3. I also assume the bootloader will be relocked and will need to be unlocked again. Can this be done by the normal method?

With S-off, I don't believe you need to relock the bootloader to run the RUU.

4. Will I need to Super CID again?

No, you will still have SuperCID. This only gets changed if you do so deliberately. Same with S-off.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] FlubbedJohn:
The above options are very good, but if you are interested in the weaksauce root method I can assure you it is very simple and hassle free. You won't even know its a "temp root" because it reroots on reboot instantly. The only downside, is that no custom roms or recoverys may be flashed to my knowledge. If this is a problem then I suggest using redpoint73's answer.

Also if you have luck, please let me know I would be interested and greatly thankful.

moved to Q&A forum.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] FlubbedJohn:
I did indeed read the thread, he was asking about the weaksauce root method so i was explaining it to him. Also, if he updates to 5.18 he will need to root (that is of course if he chooses RUU). Bringing me to my next question, did you in fact not read the thread?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
He's already S-OFF, he does not need any root exploits -_- he can just flash su.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Pop45398:
I flashed the 5.18 RUU without issue and was still bootloarder unlocked. S-OFF, and Super CID but did lose my faked locked and S-ON status. I then flashed TWRP then booted to recovery and when I went to reboot, TWRP asked if I wanted to root so I selected, yes. Upon booting into the system it went straight to Google Play and downloaded and installed SuperSU as TWRP said it would--rooted.

I still had the same signal issue with 5.18 ROM so I tried flashing several older radios but still had the same problem. When I got the phone (used) it had 2.20 ROM. Signal was not as good as my SGS3 or Lumia 920 but at least I could get a couple of bars sitting 12' from my repeater ( 3-4 bars on the other phones, no signal in my house without the repeater). After flashing up to 3.18 ROM I could no longer get a signal in my chair, only if I set the phone inches from the repeater. Since the initial flashing to 3.18 if I step inside my local Walmart (before the registers) I will have 3 bars LTE but when I dial after a few seconds it will lose all signal and the call will fail. Outside with 3 bars it works fine. I'm at a loss.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Even if he updates to 5.18 he will not need any root exploits. He is s-off so he can run any RUU he likes without having to relock his bootloader. This means all he needs to do is flash a custom recovery afterwards, and flash SuperSU or Superuser.

If you're going to give advice here on the forums, bring your knowledge up a bit so that you are able to give advice that is accurate and relevant. Giving the wrong advice will at the very least send another user on a wild goose chase doing things that are irrelevant (like weaksauce), and worst case scenario you could end up bricking someone's phone. I doubt you want that on your conscience.

Sent from my Evita
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
That makes sense. I believe the spoofed BL lock and S-on are hacked hboot. The RUU replaces (overwrites) hboot.

Keep in mind that comparing signal "bars" between different phones means nothing. There is no standard to what the bars even represent. You can read the signal strength (dBm) in Settings>About>Network.

But if I understand properly, its not just a matter of the "bars" but actual reception (dropped calls, etc.). If it worked fine on the 2.20 setup, did you try the radio associated with 2.20 (radio 0.19as.32.09.11_2_10.105.32.25)?

Also keep in mind that certain buildings do not play well with phones at all. Big box stores can be particularly notorious for this. Not sure what combination of concrete, steel, etc. interferes with cell signal, but I often get zero signal in Target, IKEA, etc. At the climbing gym where I go every week (not a huge building, but steel beams with concrete face) none of my friends get any signal regardless of phone (my HOX, iPhones, all on AT&T) when we are inside. Then we will get a flood of SMS messages the minute we walk out the building!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] FlubbedJohn:
He was the one who was looking for the root method, I just delivered. He was looking for a way to root, I gave it to him. You can the rest to him.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Yes, that's correct. But as respoint had said prior to you first responding he didn't need a root method. Plus, it's our responsibility as people giving advice here to firstly know what we're talking about, and secondly to steer someone in the right direction if they're on the wrong track. Not to just provide incorrect information because that's what they think they need to do.

My statement from earlier still stands, if you want to help people on here you need to bring your knowledge up a bit first. I'm not trying to be harsh, the fact is that accuracy and relevancy are absolutely paramount on XDA, providing incorrect information is dangerous. Please don't take that the wrong way! You're new here so welcome to our forum :)

Sent from my Evita
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
I agree with timmaaa on this. Its just my own opinion (but many others will likely agree) that any temp root solution (even one that re-temp roots with every boot) is inferior to a true permanent root. Especially when the temp root requires an app to be installed.

For the OPs particular case, WeakSauce looks to be more complicated (or at least more contrived) and less comprehensive solution than the s-off status and unlocked bootloader he already has. It probably would have made more sense to present the issue in a way such as: Yes, WeakSauce will work for temp root, but the other provided options are probably better choices.

[Sony Xperia M] ismithx:
I know since our device got the 4.3 update lots of us have wanted to try the xperia themes. While there are methods to patch the OS or manually install the theme APK's please avoid doing so. While the theme may be installed and may appear to be working, there are problems with UI elements (i.e. on-screen navigation buttons don't change). Firstly, the unofficial 'patch' of sorts installs the APK, but not all of the UI gets updated by the theme. Secondly, if you try switching from a theme that was installed to the phone (excluding the preinstalled ones), certain UI elements don't work properly (i.e. volume popup disappearing or not updating). Thirdly, the downloaded themes make the device lag, as compared to how smooth the preinstalled themes work.

So let us all wait on Sony to do their official update. The xperia themes can wait. :D

I know this is an old thread. But spent so many days reading all those stuffs. Finally contacted samsung service centre and they says they can't repair my phone since its not manufactured in my country. Tried repairs like '' GSII repair'' and lots of other. Am not sure what I did. Deleted efs folder and copied, pasted. Nv files restarted. But of know use. When I tried inserting another network simcard(my friends) . The imei didn't change. But I was able to make phone calls and 3g. Bought a new sim of the same network. But I couldn't use it to make calls. It shows network not registered(like my previous carrier). The only thing I am able to do is I can use 3g. And I am typing from this same phone. Thank you for reading this..
