does this work on verizon? if not do you know where i can find something that does work for verizon?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
It should, but I would extract the files instead of flashing it. It's for stock KitKat.

Sent from my Sprint Samsung Galaxy SIII on TouchWiz 4.4.2 with Conquest: Singularity v2.2, Ktoonsez' latest kernel and the latest Philz Touch Recovery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Long press on the zip in Root Browser, hit Extract, place the files in the corresponding folders in your system (system/etc/snd_soc_msm in this case). If the file you are copying is already present delete it first (they should be there, so delete them first). Then long press on each of the files and scroll down to Permissions. Change the permissions to 0644 for each file. Make sure they all look like the attached screenshot.... Sorry for the slow response.

I booted to recovery and installed the zip without errors.

But-It didn't work.

I just noticed that my Ac!d/beats bass mod also has no effect on sound when I change the settings.

Could there be a link?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
It won't work if you're not on Touchwiz

Vol Increase

You helped me before and I hoping you can again. I recently updated my Sprint S3 to the L710VPUDNJ2. I lost root. I then rooted again with CF Auto root via ODIN. I can not seem to flash this vol increase again. I tried extracting the folder and installing into ect folder. I saved the old folder incase. When I rebooted the phone was in a boot loop. I then used ODIN and reinstalled update. Then rerooted. Phone is fine but I am still hard of hearing. Any suggestions for volume increase? I will be getting new phone later this summer but for now I am deaf from the railroad. Thanks very much.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Flash a custom recovery via Odin (I recommend Philz, the file you want ends in .tar.md5) and then flash the mod. I also recommend installing Viper4Android, it has a different method for volume increase (and three settings) and it works with this mod very well.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] unclescary:
THanks and md5 error!

Tried Philz again with Odin and I keep getting md5 error! Binary is invalid. Maybe because of the android update? I no trouble before installing Philz. THink I read he nolonger supports. Maybe the file is too old? THanks again
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Uncheck "don't allow old binary" under flash zip. If you update to the latest Philz (6.48.4 I believe) that is fixed.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] unclescary:
Thanks and Success!

I thank you and my wife thanks you so I can hear her on the phone. For others in my situation I have Sprint Galaxy S3. I used philz touch 6.15.4-d2spr file. I then used philz recovery to flash your sound mod file. I am very grateful for your help! I enjoy fooling with this. I am nervous doing it but reading, asking for help and thanking others is what helps in everyone's lives
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
I'm guessing the step you forgot when manually pushing the files was to change permissions. Just for future reference, this is what system file permissions are supposed to look like, then you have to reboot to make the changes.

My ROMs: Wicked X & Wicked S5 Xperience
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] unclescary:
Correct

Correct. When I first copied the folder snd_soc_msm into the etc folder I changed the permisions to r/w. I do not remember changing it back to r/o. Did not realize nor think this was critical. But when the phone went to a boot loop I knew something I did was not right. Every thing I do is a learning adventure! Thanks for all the information.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tersanyus:
Odin probably. That's what someone said to me on the thread about it. Thinking of trying it. That zip download is going to take a few hours.

---------- Post added at 12:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:32 AM ----------

Yeah going thru Odin seems to do it just fine assuming you have the tar file. It was just like flashing the NC2 leak. Flash the tar file in Odin using the AP button. I made sure the Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time were checked (they were by default it seems). Good news is, it did not wipe my phone it seems, or maybe I forgot to check that option.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fletch33:
best to WAIT until devs release an upgrade path they have tested. if you ODIN you may end up same as OTA and without root until maybe forever but who knows. if you dont care about root then go ahead.

BeansTown106 has already posted he has a copy of it and will work on releasing a pre-root just like NC2 so you can keep on the root path.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MitchMeister03:
I installed it through ODIN last night, no issues as far as root goes...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrPhant0m:
I'm not here to tell you that you're making a grave mistake... but I would like to know WHY you want to update from NC2 to NC4.

My understanding is that NC2 was Verizon's development version, which has some pretty nice features that they do not want to general public to have, such as the ability to downgrade to MJE, and the software stubs (or whatever jargon you'd prefer) necessary to allow for kernel modules to be installed. This means the potential for a more open (less locked) bootloader. not necessarily fully unlocked, but at least allowing more wiggle room with kernel mods, but possibly fully AOSP-compatible.

That said... I think NC2 passed all the tests, and NC4 is the one that they released with all the locks in place, for public consumption.

So, I query you once again... why would you want to update to NC4? (A root-enabled release from Beans notwithstanding)

You register at www.orb.com and configure your computer with the program/webpage. Then point Pocket IE to www.orb.com and use it. It's very basic and easy, and doesn't harm your TyTN. :)

With Unreal Media Server server you need a tv card in your pc.

I have an old Pinnacle RAVE TV card in my PC. I've installed Umedia server on my PC and set this up to capture and stream the tv card. I can watch decent quality TV from anywhere in the house using the free Umedia player. I also have a fixed IP address from my ISP. Having unblocked the relevant firewall port, I can also watch TV via 3G connection, albiet at reduced quality because of the lower bandwidth available.

There is a PC and Pocket PC client player available from http://www.umediaserver.net/download.html. The Pocket PC client is all that is needed on your TyTN.

Somehow if I then creating a backup in recovery mode, anything goes wrong.

[Shield Q&A] dia_naji:
There have been numerous leaks about the shield 2. Should I wait for the shield 2 or just get the current one? I'm a big emulator fan, snes, n64, gba nes, etc... I would like to hear everyone's input.
[Shield Q&A] Doodle210:
I don't know what your money issue is, but I have no problem paying for both... if you don't have the funds or choose not to spend the funds, I'd probably wait for the Shield 2.

Money isn't really an issue. I just don't want to buy the shield this month, then next month the 2 comes out.
[Shield Q&A] Doodle210:
Doubt it come out anytime soon, I'd give it till Q4 2014 - Q2 2015
[Shield Q&A] nex86:
I don't even think the Shield 2 still comes out this year.

So the current Shield is defenitely worth it, especially now when Half Life 2 and Portal came out o.o
[Shield Q&A] intel352:
Considering rumors/specs are already swirling on Shield 2, and with the recent price drops on Shield, I'll bet Shield 2 will be out by late 2014.

I had same concern, really wanted to wait for Shield 2 (as I've not been impressed with Shield specs), but I *really* wanted to be able to stream PC games (esp w/ Wolfenstein out now, and Watch Dogs out next week), so I went ahead and splurged on Shield 1. I've kept the box & packaging though, so if Shield 2 suddenly surprises us in the next 30 days, I can return to Amazon for refund. If past the 30 day marker, I can always sell the unit used in it's original packaging via Amazon.

Now I've just got to figure out what to do with my gen1 Vita. It was already languishing prior to Shield, and now that I can play PC games on a handheld, Vita seems completely redundant :) (well, except for periods of time where I don't have net connectivity, but then I'd likely be reading/working or end up playing Candy Crush Saga, lol)
[Nook Touch General] marcoNST:
Hello there,

I decided to post in here after doing extensive research online but having found no answer to my problem....

I have had a rooted (with NookManager) Nook Simple Touch that worked perfectly until I went travelling across tropical countries. Since then, I have seen a progressive degradation of the touchscreen, specifically I noted the following:

Buttons/icons in the lower half of the screen, when tapped, do no respond. Instead, buttons/icons directly above them (on the upper part of the screen) do respond to the action.

When the keyboard is active and letters are tapped, you get one of these random behaviours:

the letter appears on the screen, but 2 or 3 of them, even if the letter is tapped once.

the letter above the one tapped, appears on screen: e.g. I press "q" and "a" appears on screen; I press "backspace" and the letter "p" appears on screen.

Following the recommendations of many forums, I cleaned thoroughly my screen, however this does not seem to resolve the problem. I also performed a factory reset and re-root, still the problem persists (though, after a new factory reset, the erratic behaviour is less frequent, at start, but then It worsens as time goes by).

The only thing that changed is the fact that I am now travelling in hotter countries and maybe the Nook is sensitive to temperatures constantly above 30C. so I suspect it may be the cause.

Has anyone experienced similar problems?

Thanks

Marco
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
The processing for the zForce touch screen is done by a TI MSP430 processor.

This is separate from the main OMAP 3621 processor.

They communicate over I2C.

There are no user-friendly diagnostics built in.

It's difficult to identify problems.

I have a unit with a similar problem.

I've been starting to look into this.

I'd like to make a user app that deals with the more common problem of dirt and would actually indicate where the dirt is.

(The problem with this unit is not dirt either.)
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
I've got a new utility for debugging problems with the touch screen.

At the very least it should be able to tell you where the dirt is when it is dirt.

I need to do some polishing up on it.

The screenshot is a touchscreen with one touch in the middle.

The lines at the top and bottom are marginal performance of the edge sensors.

When there is no touch all the lines should be light gray.

The black indicates where it thinks there is an obstruction.
[Nook Touch General] marcoNST:
Thanks so much for your response, Renate.

I very much look forward to your tool!

It is quite a frustrating behaviour that seriously limits the interaction with my NST (last time it took me 1 hour just to be able to type a wireless password correctly!).

Marco
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Here's an alpha version of the utility.

When you run it, most of the lines should be a light gray.

Touch some place and it will show black lines.

Paste a screenshot if you would please.

I may be hot on the track of what the actual problem is.

Questions:

Did this happen slowly over time?

Was it humid there or just hot?
[Nook Touch General] marcoNST:
Renate,

I'll try your utility later on today, after rooting again my net, and then let you know.

In the meanwhile, to answer your questions:

- yes, the problem started occasionally and worsened over time. Now, after 3 months from when I first appeared, I can hardly use the touchscreen

- it is hot and humid.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
New alpha version.

Light line - open pathway working correctly

Dark line - blocked pathway

Dashed line - maxed out LED drive, something not optimal
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Sorry, the latest version:

Overview, an untouched screen should have all light gray lines of some kind,

a touched screen should have thick black lines near the point.

Thin light gray line - normal, open pathway

Thick dashed light gray line - maxed LED drive, open pathway

Thick black line - normal, blocked pathway

Thick dashed black line - maxed LED drive, blocked pathway

Thick long dashed black line - maxed LED drive, zero signal

This would all be easier if I could just use colors!

Well, I could, but you'd need to take a screenshot to see them.

Update: Download Touch.apk in the signature.
[Nook Touch General] marcoNST:
HI Renate!

I just ran your latest version and yes, I do have a couple of "<"-shaped thick dashed black lines in the middle of the screen and one thick gray dashed line at the very top of the screen. All the rest is thin light gray.

I'm gonna take a screenshot of it as soon as I get around installing QtADB (and the SDK) on my netbook I am currently using while travelling.

I just noticed that if I rub quite hard my unresponsive keyboard (for 10/15 seconds), the letters start to work properly again, until I keep the keyboard open. When I close and re-open it, I need to rub the keyboard again for a few seconds to get it to work again.

This also applies to any other area of the screen (buttons/icons) that does not work properly.

Needless to say, this behaviour is quite random.

Any idea about the cause and the remedy?

Marco
[Nook Touch General] marcoNST:
Snapshot of my nook attached.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Hmm, that doesn't look too bad.

Do this in an ADB shell:

cd /sys/devices/platform/i2c_omap.2/i2c-adapter/i2c-2/2-0050
cat ledlevel
echo 1 > forcecal
cat ledlevel

You can do this with the Touch app running.

Touch (and release) afterwards to see if the V in the center disappears.

Post the ledlevel responses.

I didnt notice any changes in the touch screen after the ADB commands, even after a few touches. I restarted the Nook and ran the touch utility again, still no changes. The same pattern is still there.

Marco
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
I've been playing with my problem Nook and I've gotten it a lot closer to working.

The mechanical alignment of the components is very critical.

It's all held together with double stick tape.

Especially the top end is sensitive, that has the biggest span of plastic in the IR (internal) bezel.

But I don't think that this is your problem.

Your problem is clearly related to the left side (LED side) at the vertex of the V.

The two LEDs on the left, above and below are getting a fine response out of the two photodiodes on the right used by the problem V.

Put on your reading glasses and look very closely at the left edge of the V for anything odd.

There could be dirt internally between the internal edge of the bezel and the LED.

The LED itself could be semi-fried.

The LED driver could be semi-fried.

Depending on how sensitive a camera (and how lousy an IR cut filter it has) you have, you might be able to see the problem that way.

In a darkened room, point the camera as low as possible towards the left edge.

With your finger on some part of the screen you might be able to see a dull red flickering.

My cell phone can see that if pointed directly at the LEDs on the disassembled unit.

There is also the trick of using a photodiode on a mic input to a PC.

Oh, a new version of Touch.apk

It doesn't show anything different, it just updates periodically without a touch.

That's helpful if you want to try pushing on the case to see if things change.

Update: Download Touch.apk in the signature.
[Nook Touch General] marcoNST:
There is also one dashed grey line at the top of the screen.

Could it be part of the same problem?

Should I look for dirt in that area too?

OK, I inspected the area (without camera).

The edges of the screen are made by 2 layers: the hard plastic black casing that touches the screen and the rubber-y dark grey wrap material glued above it. Well, because of the heat (most likely!), the glue has lost its grip in some parts (so much so that i can slide a needle in these parts), including the LED area and dirt has crept in. I removed some of the dirt with the needle.

The hard black casing is still well attached to the screen.

I still have the same LED pattern. Is there a safe way to open the Nook and remove the dirt?

At least i can exclude one cause.
