No....

Porting official KK from P5220 to P5210 will be the easier thing ever !

WHY ?

Because:

CPUs are the same,

GPUs are the same,

Network Chips are the same,

BT Chips are the same,

Touchscreen adapters are the same,

Display adapters are the same,

In other word, all hardwares are the same exept the P5220 includes a LTE Module and 2GB RAM (RAM is not a problem, neither LTE Module b'coz the Tab can work w/o SIM Card).

Even you, can make this port !

You just need to modify the kernel to support the Wifi model and then remove the LTE Module drivers in the kernel and the system.

I'm waiting for the update of the LTE model...
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] VIRGIN KLM:
That's not true, they have a different unified radio chip, so if you try to do that you will end up with a device that it's Wifi and BT don't work.

It's the same case as SIII and Note 10.1 but SIII users were lucky because they could pull the radio from a different device that shared the same drivers and got updated to KitKat. It's not always the case (like t211 and t210, it's only missing the cellular chip) but this device uses some pretty weird internals, for sure not something you see alot in Samsung devices. I also found it weird that it uses the same camera module with s5570, what did they do? They took the spare parts they had in their factory and put them on this device? :p

Also, last but not least, notice, as I said above, that nobody here even tried to touch the kernel in any way, let alone modifying it to port kitkat to it.

This rom working not good. affter have root if hard reset enter Recovery mode only.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] N00BY0815:
I dont understand what you are trying to say... Do you want to say, if you try to get into recovery, your phone did a factory reset? If yes, did you reinstall a custom recovery again?
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] nexbr:
Could someone please port this to SM-T111?
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] Nonta72:
I would like but I don't own the Tablet !

Can you test it ?
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] nexbr:
Sure since i don't need wipe everything everytime i tested it :D

I think a lot of people would love to help you to port Kitkat to SM-T111, You just need create the project and people will help you, I'm sure.

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jedikalimero:
Hi,

I purchased a very cheap Note Pro with the front glass cracked. All other functions work perfect, including stylus and touch sense. I bought a replacement glass but I have been looking for some info (preferably with pictures or video) about opening the tablet and replacing the glass but could not find anything.

Anybody can throw a ray of light on this issue? Any tutorial, tear down or something?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jedikalimero:
Galaxy Note 10.1 was very easy to repair (at least the old version). You removed the back cover easily and then removed all components until you had just the bezel with the glass and touch sensor glued to it. Then you had to apply heat to glass to loosen glue but since glass was already broken, you had not to worry about breaking it more or overheating other sensitive components.

Galaxy Note II (and all other Galaxy phones) are much more difficult since glass is glued to the display so removing it incorrectly can break the display.

But what about the Note Pro?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muzzy996:
New device with lower market volume. You're one of the first I've seen post about it since release, at least in terms of trying to repair themselves. Good luck.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jedikalimero:
I received the replacement glass from China today so I tried to replace it. The tablet opens up by removing the back plate (the one imitating leather). Inside it looks very similar to the original Note 10.1. Very modular and easy to tear down... until you get to the display.

You can remove the USB3 port with the card readers, front camera with light sensor, rear camera with microphone, both speakers, the antennas, the vibrator with audio jack and the LCD cable. Then you can disconnect the touch sensor cable, the Wacom cable, the standby/volume buttons and then the motherboard goes free.

But after that you have the middle metal frame and the bezel with the LCD/Wacom digitizer inside and the glass/touch sensor over it and the home button. But the similarities with the Note 10.1 end here. In the old tablet you can remove the metal frame by cutting all the heat stacked plastic fasteners, then the frame comes out and then the LCD so you end with the plastic bezel glued to the glass/touch sensor. If your glass is broken, you just rip it off and glue the new one.

But in the Note Pro, removing the heat stacked plastic fasteners doesn't liberate the frame. It is also glued with adhesive to the back of the LCD and to the plastic frame but the worst of all is there seems to be a point between the MicroSD and SIM readers where the frame is strongly bonded to the bezel with a metal piece impossible to separate so the LCD is trapped inside.

What's worse, the Glass is glued to the LCD in ALL THE SURFACE just like the Galaxy phones, so any attempt to remove the glass without breaking the LCD below is an almost impossible task. I tried it and I failed. When I noticed the complexity of the task I put everything back together and turned the tablet on. The LCD was dead. The tablet is still working but no image. I can hear the sounds and it is very unlikely the other easily removable components got damaged.

So at the end, if you break the glass, you have to replace all the front of the tablet, including LCD, Glass, Touch Sensor, Wacom sensor, Home button, plastic bezel and metal frame. A pretty expensive replacement piece, I think.

Well, at least the pictures I took during the proccess will serve for a teardown tutorial in Ifixit and to help other to know what can be done and what not.

NOTE: Although it is very difficult to replace the glass of a Galaxy phone, there are workshops that know how to do it. Basically you have to go very slow and apply the exact amount of heat to loosen the glue. I think it could be possible to apply the same technique to the Note Pro to replace the broken glass but it is too late for me. I suppose I will sell the tablet for parts or not working because if finding a glass was difficult, I don't want to imagine how difficult (and expensive) will be to find the whole display :(

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrowingViolet:
Please forgive what basically amounts to a "thanks" post, but jedikalimero, thank you so much for all the work you put into this. I have a Galaxy Note Pro 12.2, and recently the glass cracked all the way across the screen. As with you, it functions normally otherwise, but I wanted to explore repair options. It sounds like it would just be better to buy a new tablet from a strictly financial perspective... though I'll just be extra-careful with it until that's actually doable.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beut:
New touchscreen is only around $50 but removing it without damage to LCD is extreme difficult if you have no experience. Even after a success, new touchscreen will have air gaps at the center like a new screen protector when put on the top of touchscreen, No where you can find the OCA (optically clear adhesive) film for this 12.2 screen. Even find one, you need air bubble removal vacuum pump to remove them and it's not cheap. The cheapest system I find online is around $500 and I'm not sure it can fit this big screen. I replaced a new touchscreen but have to get used to air bubbles between the LCD and touchscreen. Without OCA film, there is no way to eliminate these ugly air bubbles.

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grmcrkrs:
I'm glad you guys posted this here. I was about to attempt the repair with the glass digitizer only, and if I had, I would have been really upset.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jedikalimero:
It is better to apply LOCA glue instead of LOCA film. It is applied at the middle of the LCD and the pressure of the glass expands it to the borders. But it is difficult to measure how much LOCA glue you need to apply. Too little and you end up with air at the borders. Too much and you will end up with glue all inside the tablet.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VanArchon:
How much does the LOCA glue cost? You could get a piece of plexiglass or something, cut it to size and apply the LOCA glue to it to see how much or little you might need. I'm partially asking because the glass on mine was just cracked today though the LCD itself appears to be working fine, so I'm looking to fixing mine too.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beut:
Not recommended if you are first time to do it. Your chance of damaging the LCD is 90%, I damaged at least 2 LCDs and one touchscreen in order to learn how to separate the touchscreen from LCD without causing damages to both of them. It requires experiences and patience, if the screen just have a hairline crack, don't bother to change the touchscreen, use a tempered glass to cover the crack and use the LCD the way it is.

It may take you at least one hour to remove the touchscreen and another hour to clean this glue.

In this picture, the glue is pushed to the center, but before that I had to turn on the tablet to make sure the LCD is not cracked.

The LCD flex cables are the bottom, left side of HOME button, without prior experience they will be cut off easily or damaged.

Then turning off by disconnecting battery because there is no touchscreen.

[IMG="Remove the glue"]http://www.mediafire.com/convkey/e9d3/5jwzsrpz3z1t2xh6g.jpg[/IMG]

Without LOCA , the touchscreen will touch the LCD surface somewhere in the center making black spots.

What for ROM do you have currently installed on your device? Is it a normal ROM, or is it a cooked ROM with additonal software? If it is a cooked ROM, what for software is included?

Have you already tried a other ROM? Looks for me like a software issue and no hardware problem....

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Magotchi:
I got tired of the Samsung keyboard, Swype, Google Keyboard, and the standard AOSP keyboard (without the ability to long-press letters to get symbols).

Here's how to get the Cyanogenmod 11 keyboard, with its long-press symbol ability and with gesture typing working, onto any (maybe KitKat-only) ROM. There may be a quicker way, but this is how I did it.

Grab any recent CM11 build.

Grab the latest CM11 Google Apps package.

Copy /system/app/LatinIME.apk from the CM11 archive to /system/app on your device (with ES File Explorer via its Root Explorer option, through ADB, or whatever you prefer). Set its permissions to 0644 (owner read and write, group read, others read).

Copy /system/lib/libjni_unbundled_latinimegoogle.so from the Google Apps archive to /system/lib on your device and set its permissions to 0644.

Reboot your device.

Enable the keyboard and set it as default.

This isn't new information, but it took me a bit to figure out from scattered posts, so I thought I'd pass it on.

[Java for Android App Development] pramathesh:
Dear Friends,

I'm working on an application which has a list of 5 items connected to a database at the back end. I would like to know how can I randomize the order of appearance of these 5 items in these list every time the app start?

Ex

Item 1: A

Item 2: B

Item 3: C

Item 4: D

Item 5: E

Next time the app launches the order of appearance is at random.

Ex

Item 1: C

Item 2: E

Item 3: A

Item 4: D

Item 5: B

So, on and so forth for every instances of app launch.

Also, how can I add transition animation (fade in, fade out, slide in, etc) like most of the modern web-pages have for the app UI. I do not have much programming experience. Just a learner. All help will be appreciated.
[Java for Android App Development] panwrona:
Look on the animations tutorial at androidhive.info ( i think it's proper address ).

Answering the first question, I would write method for database that returns list of items and implement randomization in it. Then just create instance of database in onCreate and make just like this : List<Item> randomList = db.returnRandomList();
[Java for Android App Development] deanwray:
I think this would be the easiest and most explanatory way that you could understand for the random list

private ArrayList<String> random(ArrayList<String> list)
{
ArrayList<String> randomList = new ArrayList<String>();

while(list.size() > 0)
{
int randomInt = new Random(System.currentTimeMillis()).nextInt(list.size());
randomList.add(list.get(randomInt));
list.remove(randomInt);
}

return randomList;
}

So with that imagine doing it with "_id"'s before asking the cursor for rows (though you would need all the primary keys to start with to do that on)... hope that gives you enough to start with

as for anims thats part of the view class and much info on d.android.com
[Java for Android App Development] OkieKokie:
To randomize the list use Java's Collections. Shuffle method and pass in ur list.

In order to display animations, after u call startactivity, make a call to overridependingtransition and pass in animations for the entering and exiting activity.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jyavenard:
I am running the iMate JasJam 1.31 ROM (which came with the Australian Telstra branded device)

The most common problems so far:

-Sound stops working, will only vibrate. This happen if you switch to silent mode, when you get back to normal sound mode, it stays in silence mode until you reboot. this doesn't always happen. can't reproduce it consistently

-BT turns off by itself once in a while, you have to turn BT on in comm manager

-The most annoying: If you have a data session active (not transfering any data) and a BT connection active (like headset, GPS), then you can't receive a call. The person calling you won't even get to voicemail. it just hangs up on them. if you disconnect the data session or turn off BT then you can receive calls again

-Switching username in MSN will often make messenger crash, you have to kill the process and start it again

-Sometimes will hang for no reason: you need to press the reset button

Then you have the GUI weirdness which make you think: what did they drink the day they designed this software?

Like if you receive a SMS, it will show you an extract of it at the bottom of the screen, you'll get off the following choice:

-Reply on the left soft menu

-More on the right soft menu with the option (delete, call sender, Save as Read, dismiss)

What if I just want to read the full content in the Messaging application? you can't.

If you select Mark as Read immediately it doesn't mark the SMS as read in the messaging application and you still get the notification in the top screen. You have to do "Mark as Read" twice.

Something I miss from my symbian phone, if you have a bluetooth headset paired with a unit (or your car kit) when you answer a call using the BT headset button, the call goes to the BT headset, but if you answer using the device itself, it doesn't go on the BT. This is great if you want to take a personal call in a car for example, and don't want your passenger to hear what's going on.

On WM5, you can't control that. it aways goes to BT if the headset/handsfree is set.

When the keyboard is open, if you tap on a text field, the screen keyboard will show up (and text half of the screen). Why show a software keyboard all the time when you have a full qwerty keyboard available !? Sometimes the keyboard doesn't show up, but I'm yet to understand the logic behind it. it's not consistent

And then of course you have some inconsistencies here and there, like the device will stop working as it did 2 minutes prior. You try it again: bank it works.

I wonder if Microsoft or HTC have any QA !

What other issues have you guys noticed? Or could this be that those problems are unique to thie version of the ROM...

Jean-Yves
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] yannyb:
I agree, there are quite a lot of interface issues, although I think most of these lie with wm5 as opposed to the unit itself.

here are some of my thoughts:

1) the sms bubble relly annoys me too. why can't I tap the bubble to open the message in full?! often the message is too long to fit in the notification. i'm pretty sure this is a wm5 design fault.

2) the software keyboard bugged me senseless until I realised that if you just keep typing on the 'proper' keyboard it disappears. I used to continually spend the time closing it!

3) the alarms in wm5 are pretty lame. if your phone is on silent they won't sound. you only get a warning if you set an alarm whilst the phone is in vibrate mode. the alarm should simply override the sound settings.

4) contacts - I think searching for contacts is poorly handled which makes one handed operation pretty difficult. it takes too many clicks to select a category to filter by and the display when someone is calling you is a farse! you get a tiny notification with tiny writing! I bought photo contacts pro to help with this and whilt it has its flaws I reckon it is worth it.

having said this, i'm loving my tytn. it is way better than my previous smartphone (nokia 6680). the symbian s60 based phones seem to just be half-assed to me.

Just to comment on the SMS notification.

I am on MDA Vario II from T-Mobile, and when I get an SMS my left button says read! so If I choose that he whole message is displayed. So I guess it is not the OS but the Operator or manufacturer who screwed up on this one.

Thanks for that one too. Perhaps we need a thread for non-obvious key combinations or single presses. Perhaps what seems to be statin' the bleedin' obvious to some folks are just things that others have never thought of or tried. Often I discover things through pure chance.

More to the list

While waiting to get my new phone (used to have PDA2k, and Jamin that I just sold after using for 3 months due to my disatisfactionof performance, sound quality, etc...) I had some chances to play the JasJam (Arabic ROM). First I noted that the call button is very badley placed at the verry bottom of the front as I felt the phone will fall out of my hand (unlike the HTC where the green botton is separatly on the very left side, as I see it in photos).

Second, if pull the out memory card for any reason and push it bacj in, the phone never recognizes the card again unless you soft rest it.

I hope that this issue will be resloved in the next ROM update by imate
