[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spudz30:
Urghhhh why is it after hours of trawling and googling I can't find my answer. I did the alliance ROM (and now know how my first rom stuffed up) how do I get rid of the icon in the top left which shows download rate? Can't find the option anywhere on phone

Edited: Found it myself.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spudz30:
Final bit of noob from me for now. I tried to restore my CWM backup after installing Alliance, alliance overwrote CWM with TWRP, I did a factory reset, but could not restore from backup. It noted my CWM backup, but I could not restore it. Anything I did wrong here?

Edited: Once again from learning I fixed my own issue. Reflashed CWM, restored from todays backup, phone has gone from factory reset to how it was earlier today. Love the nandroid backup.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] spirodave:
I am having a problem with my soft keys . They do not work and sometimes they light up and the only way to shut them off is to reboot the device. I have try a restore to factory using odin with no luck obviously. It sucks because i can only use custom roms with the navigation bar included.. Any advise is much appreciated .
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] spirodave:
I guess since I have had no replies then I'm Sol. Seems to be a hardware problem but the circumstances led me to believe it to be software
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] padre629:
Try to go to stock GB or ICS with ODIN. Try also go to stock JB 4.1.2.

Do you say that softkeys-light is turned-on but not working?! If that issue isn't software-related, it can be a missing contact in flex (in other words, the flex [cable-like connector] that connects softkeys with board isn't fully connected, giving the appearance of to be working.

Hahahahaha it's only a hypothesis.

The last solution: try to inspect the hardware, yourself and/or the help of an expert.

Hope to help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] spirodave:
the lights are off most of the time ... Sometimes they will come on but they stay on and are not responsive to my touch at all .. at that point a reboot is needed to get them to shut off.. This all started when i was running the adb command pull /system command . While the system was being pulled from my phone the power went out and my computer shut off. After that i have had no luck at all . I have tried different roms and even went back to stock. Maybe ill give it another try. I am sick of the nav bar it takes up real estate on my screen ..I can open up the phone but am not sure what to inspect . ZZI have ideas but not a specific location to check.. Thanks any more input would be appreciated
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] spirodave:
OK I had a problem using Odin to go to stock. I think it was a bad download of the uvle1 rom I had. But I used KIES and was successful with the flash but it did not fix the keys. I noticed they have been coming on more but they are not responsive. They fact they turn on tells me it could be software if I'm lucky but flashing new Roms don't fix it. I am still holding out hope that they might just fix themselves lol. Maybe its a sensor?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] spirodave:
Wow as I was writing this I figured out how to make them go off without rebooting. I put my fingers across all the keys and held them there and the lights turned off. They have never turned off without rebooting before.

Once i realized my error i followed this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2663545 to downgrade back to 4.3. Then i realized that i had no wifi and no data.

Can someone please explain to me how to get wifi back or explain what the post says to do. my s4 is a build number mk2 with nb1 baseband
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] cellymate:
what i did was put the bypasslkm.zip on my phone i used download folder then booted to the safestrap recovery menu and used the install option and selected the bypasslkm.zip then when all booted went to downloaded apps section opened that universal init.d app set to ON then select nb1wififix then hit play button.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Tydilla:
Alright cool, I think see where your going with this but how do install safestrap if i have no wifi or data. Is there a way I can install it but putting it on my phone like how i put the bypasslkm.zip

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] geekserver:
So I got the special code that unlocks your phone from my provider (cingular)

I got it after calling cingular ...took 2 min max !

Asked for it on friday and got it Monday

So just wondering are there any diffrences to geting a phone unlocked from the company (cingular for me) and any methors such as lokiwiz

I already pop'ed in my dad's tmobile sim and it showed Tmoible and I had his voice mail waiting (which was also waiting on his phone) so I know it works.

So if some one can tell me any major or little diffrences it would be great :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] mneimeyer:
Can anyone recommend an App that will allow me to take two contacts and manually merge them, after reviewing the available data fields, into a single contact?

I can find a lot of apps that will do it for me automatically... But they all seem to suffer from the same set of problems.

If they can automatically identify dupes they don't really look at the data. For example, I keep ending up with contacts that have two addresses that are really the same (Like "123 Main St, Somewhere PA 12345 USA" and "123 Main St, Somewhere PA 12345"). The main Google contacts merge does this...

Or they aren't smart about identifying duplicates (I have a lot of "sparsely" populated contacts that have the name "Info" but are info@companyA.com and info@companyB.com and so on). A lot of apps do this for companies because I don't have a person's name in the First and Last fields.

Or lastly there are plenty of apps that will link contacts but not actually merge them (why bother?)

I'm willing to put in the work I just want to select one or more contacts, pick the data I want to keep and merge away.

Thanks!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akupanjang:
my phone got flash new ROM everyday, my question is, is there any solution to not downloading my recent apps when i flash new ROM.. is there any apps that can use for my problem

sorry for my bad english.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
You can make a CWM flashable zip of your current apps/settings with Titanium Pro. Before you flash a new rom, use Ti to make the zip, install your new rom, and flash the zip you made in CWM.

However, be aware there are a few caveats to this working smoothly:-

*If the new rom is a different Android version, you may get FC's on some/all of your apps.

*If there's any difference in mount points (or any use of 'legacy' points/etc), you may get FC's.

*If you're moving from a Samsung based rom to AOSP or vice versa, you may get FC's

Also, do not put system apps into this zip & do not restore system apps/data more generally when moving to a new rom.

Personally speaking, I've always preferred a completely clean install whenever I've moved to a new rom with just a restore of app data that's really necessary for apps I use a lot, I've always found it well worth spending a couple of hrs to do that (I've never been someone who changes roms every 5 minutes).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akupanjang:
Thanks for the answer.. I will figured out on how to make a flashable cwm.. Thanks

[Nook Touch General] MildBill:
I have a Nook Simple Touch, BNRV300, and I have successfully modified uRamdisk to gain root shell access with ADB over USB (Thanks Renate!). I am currently on firmware version 1.2.1.

I know this may seem like heresy to some here, but I really do not want or need to root my NST and add a number of apps I won't use anyway. I have a fully rooted Nexus 7 for that sort of thing.

All I would like to be able to do is turn off the need to swipe to unlock when returning from sleep, and modify the text on the screensaver overlay.

I have discovered, by the way, that sqlite3 does not seem to be available on this NST, as when trying to use it via ADB shell, it says "sqlite3: not found".

SO, there we are... I would greatly appreciate any assistance offered.

MildBill

P.S. I have tried Nook Manager, and while it did what I wanted, there were many things added that I just have no need for. And, battery drain seemed to double.So, it had to go.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Regarding SQLite3.

Since the guts of it (libsqlite.so) is already in the Nook, you only need the command line executable (sqlite3).

It's here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=50958855#post50958855

Unzip it, stick it in /system/bin, chmod 755 it.
[Nook Touch General] MildBill:
Ahh, once again, thank you Renate. Now if I can get some idea on my main questions... :)
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
There are no simple questions here. Even the answers are complicated.

Many people have created solutions and packed them into these "manager" things.

I finally got around to doing my own minimal one.

It's packaged up in nook121patch.zip (in the signature).

C:\>adb pull /system/framework/android.policy.jar
C:\>apktool d android.policy.jar \AP
C:\>mergesmali /v C:\AP\smali C:\Nook121Patch\KeyguardViewMediator.smali
C:\>apktool b C:\AP android.policy.jar
C:\>adb shell stop
C:\>adb mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
C:\>adb push android.policy.jar /system/framework/
C:\>adb shell chmod 644 /system/framework/android.policy.jar
C:\>adb shell reboot
[Nook Touch General] MildBill:
Well Renate, I hate to complicate your answer any more than necessary, but...

On the Temblast page that clicking on your signature takes me to, I do see mergesmali, one of the two tools I will need based on the instructions you gave. I do not see nook121patch.zip, nor apktool, however. Where can I find these?

Also, can you tell me something about what this will do for me?

I hate to be such a noob, I have just enough knowledge to be dangerous. ;) Thanks again for all your help, sorry I have to keep asking for more.

MildBill
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Well, I wasn't that clear.

mergesmali is in the signature, nook121patch.zip is on the mergesmali project page too.

Apktool is detailed and linked here: http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Apktool

There are many patches in the nook121patch.zip

You can apply them selectively.

.jar is easy, they don't need signing.

.apk is trickier they must be signed.

System .apk is even trickier, they must be signed with the system signature.

The KeyguardViewMediator.smali will make that your Nook just opens with a push of the power button and no swipe.
[Nook Touch General] MildBill:
Ahh! Well, my bad, I should have tried harder. And, yet again, thanks. Nook users owe you much, Renate!

MildBill
[Nook Touch General] MildBill:
OK so far, and (I think) I have apktool properly installed, then realized I also needed to install the Java Development Kit as well to use it, which I managed to do. But, when I try to do

C:\>apktool d android.policy.jar \AP

I get

Input file (\AP) was not found or was not readable.

as a response.

So, I guess I need to return to the magic well of your knowledge for further assistance and/or instruction.

To which I can only add...

HELP! :confused:

:o

EDIT: By the way, I am using an adb.exe implementation from another root kit I have installed, not the standard installation from the SDK. Is this perhaps part of my problem?
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Well, something goofy is going on there.

Type just apktool and get the usage and version.

\AP in this case is the destination directory.

It should not already exist or else you get a warning.

Maybe the input file (the jar) can't be found, but the error message is wrong?

C:\>apktool
Apktool v1.5.2 - a tool for reengineering Android apk files

C:\>apktool d C:\boguspath \BogusDir
Input file (C:\boguspath) was not found or was not readable.
[Nook Touch General] MildBill:
Well, there ya go... I got apktool v2.0.0b9. :(

I can get 1.5.2, but will it work with Java 7? Oh well, live and learn I guess... :)

MildBill
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Oh, well, then the 2.0 probably uses different args.

"apktool" by itself will tell you the order of arguments.

To run anything on the desktop the Java 7 runtime environment is fine.

To compile an Android application you have to use Java 6.0 SDK.
[Nook Touch General] MildBill:
Well then, since it appears from the changes that 2.0 requires the Java 7 SDK, I guess I'll uninstall it all and get 1.5.2 and Java 6.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
I'm running desktop applications:

C:\>java.exe -version
java version "1.7.0"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0-b147)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 21.0-b17, mixed mode, sharing)

I'm compiling Android applications with:

C:\>javac.exe -version
javac 1.6.0_38-ea

apktool runs under the JRE, version 1.7 is fine.
[Nook Touch General] MildBill:
OK, finally got around to completing the instructions as posted, and except for having to add the command 'shell' to the mount statement, everything worked fine. And, it accomplishes exactly what I was after.

Next I may look into trying your library and reader apps.

Thanks again!

MildBill

P.S. You might consider rewriting the readme file included in nook121patch.zip to better describe what each patch does.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
The readme is admittedly very old.

That's because I forgot that it's even there!

Each of the individual smali files has comments at the head saying what it does.

I'll make something to compile the individual comments into a single readme.
[Nook Touch General] MildBill:
I can also report, at this point, that unlike an other method I have tried to accomplish this simple task, this one does NOT run thru battery life like it was going out of style.

The next most popular option, NookManager, which uses the NookModManager to do this fix, uses an average of 10% battery life every day, even when in in sleep mode the whole time. Turning the option off (I.E. reinstating the swipe to unlock) again reduces battery drain to a more normal point.

But, the fix by Renate seems to use nomorebattery than the stock reader, whether reading, sleeping, with WiFi on or off. I like it!

Once again, Renate, thank you very much for this, and for all you have done for the Nook community.

Hi all,

I need your help. I bought Xolo Q3000 20 days back. Running smoothly in all aspects but small prb is there.

1. When i receive d calls, at the time of disconnecting the calls my notification panel pop up automatically.

2. When i lock the screen after 5 to 10 sec it awakes automatically. If it is n my pocket den any application runs randomly, like music player, sms, system setting, alarm, etc. etc. (When i use flip cover then i dont get any prob, but i dont like flip cover.)

[LG G Flex] amoblox:
Hi all,

I've had 2 G Flexes from 2 different T-Mobile stores and both are having an issue where pictures are coming out with a blue tint. It usually happens at home where most of my furniture consists of earth tones.

Here's what happens:

1. Set camera to auto mode and align a shot

2. Let camera auto focus and watch the viewfinder go from warm colors to blue / cool after autofocus

3. Take a picture

4. Auto refocus and the viewfinder goes back to warm colors for a split second and then back to blue / cool

If I time the shot just right, I can get a proper color out of the camera. I have also noticed that setting the white balance to incandescent while I'm at home warms up the pictures, but then they are too warm.

I've searched Google over and over and have found no sign of this. Is anyone experiencing anything like this with their G Flex?

Kinda pulling my hair out here...
[LG G Flex] XmentalX:
Have you tried the lenovo camera app mentioned in the themes and apps section?
[LG G Flex] therealciviczc:
Mine does this too. The camera is awful as far as I'm concerned. The pictures always make the whites look blue, and as you said, the white balance will look correct for a second, but then when you focus or take the picture or even just give it time to adjust, it goes to blue. I've tried some other camera apks, and it is maybe a little better, but even still, they don't look great. If you set the lighting to incandescent, it does seem more accurate. My wife got an xperia right around the time i got my flex and it makes the flexes camera look like a complete joke. Aside from that and the bootloader, I love the phone, but the camera is almost enough to make me wish I'd bought something else.
[LG G Flex] derpyderps:
I just got my G Flex and I think the Camera is defective with regards to the blue tint- mine actually flashes green and blue -_-

And my brother has an almost identical N3, and that one vibrates harder so there might be some difrences there...
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devilsdouble:
Lol, I know the settings part. It's always at high for me. I don't get the point of soft vibrations anyway, when I want complete silence mute option is there!

So you saying N3 vibrations differ from model to model? Well it could be right. Not all devices are exactly same, but difference should be minimal. Anyway I need to go to a store and the see / feel the vibration personally.

Btw, how is the build quality of N3? Better than S4 or what?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadlyheart4u:
Note 3 looks and feel better in hands, anyways both are plastic. N3 gives a lil feel of leather finish at the back.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HanZie82:
Yes its weird my brother has even the same model type.

But when its on my desk its most obvious, with his we can hear it in the living room. And when mine goes its a lot less loud, doesnt make as much noise when vibrating. :silly:

Never had the S4 so that i dont know.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rrules:
Hi, I just want to know if there's a way to remove this option from CWM, just because if someday my phone is stolen (highly likely) I don't want the thief to recover the software that easy.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rrules:
This will remain even with the factory reset?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jojohnson250:
I am pretty sure because a thief will want to change sim so you can't track him down but the phone is locked to your sim and will require your password to insert a new sim so yeah I reckon it will only way to be sure is to test it out yourself
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andr3y29:
If the thief is smart enough to reboot into recovery and Factory Reset, then he is smart enough to reboot into Download Mode and flash another recovery (TWRP, Philz...) that has activated the Factory Reset

even so, I was searching and there are ways to undo that... for example: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/help/how-to-sim-unlock-t1683348 so I don't think thats the best answer :(

Good point, I'm new at this so I did'nt think about that.

So far the only thing that comes to my mind is to glue the sim :eek: I really hope there can be some software solution...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jojohnson250:
The link you posted was to unlock a locked phone from a network so all other sim can be used and not the one provided with the phone. What I suggested was to go to settings then more then security and set up sim lock, this means if anyone changes the sim on your phone it will require a password, Try it out yourself!

You can use something called Reaver, it cracks the WPS Pin. And from that you can get the WiFi key. Only problem is... It isn't compatible with all chipsets, and it takes a dependant amount of time. But it does always work if your WiFi card inside your phone is supported.
