[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] timofcourse:
Hi there

I'm currently on 4.3 / VRUCML1, but would like to upgrade to KitKat. I actually dont mind TouchWiz and really just looking for a deodexed, debloated 4.4.x ROM. I've searched and read a bunch of articles here, but I'm still having a difficult time determining if there's an official ROM I can upgrade to that wont lock my bootloader. Is there a good option for this?

If there isnt a good option Im wondering if I should I just upgrade to something like 4.4 SuperLiteRom / VRUDNE1 knowing I'll be locked in? Im planning to upgrade my phone in the next few months anyway, so that wouldnt be the worst thing if thats my only option. If I do go this route, whats the recommended upgrade path? Go right to loading SuperLite? Or revert to stock, update OTA, then goto SuperLite?

Thanks in advance!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
There is no rom available that won't lock your bootloader. They can't get a 4.4 rom to boot without the 4.4 stock kernel, so you're limited up to 4.3.

So if I wanted upgrade to 4.4 to something like the superlite rom, whats the recommended upgrade path? Go right to loading SuperLite? Or revert to stock, update OTA, then goto SuperLite?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
You would need to Odin flash kitkat stock rom first, then install through safestrap.

Just realize that once you do that you're stuck, there's no going back.

I am on 4.3 AllianceROM. I rooted and unlocked the phone before they came out with the official 4.3 update that, from my understanding, locks KNOX. Am I correct in assuming that I cannot load a newer version of Android on this phone unless I lock the bootloader? Are there no CM or ASOP options available?

I know this is lame but I want to put Pokemon Go on it and I need 4.4 for it to run.

Any suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
If you're bootloader unlocked you're fine, lots of AOSP 5.0 Roms available.

Just follow directions to update the modem without locking your bootloader.

So, I realize that anybody can plug a ps4 controller into their phone with an acessory and play, but...

Without rooting your Android device, is it possible to use a PS4 controller over bluetooth?

I searched, and I stumbled upon this vid:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1Ejqh8dYes

but I don't know how legitimate it is

Anybody here tried doing it?

Here's the app that supposedly let's use wirelessly connect your PS4 controller to your phone without rooting:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.poke64738.usbjoygold&hl=en

Also, in that page it says that it used a "USB BT CSR Dongle"

I have no idea what that is, though you can apparently find it here:

http://www.dx.com/p/ultra-mini-bluetooth-csr-4-0-usb-dongle-adapter-black-143276#.VAzuC8KwJcQ

Anybody know what's up with that?

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JayGoat:
Anyone know of a app that works on the G3 to show the actual charging current the phone is receiving/using? There was one that worked on my last phone, the S4, but it nor any others that I've tried work. Just seeing if anyone has come across one that does work.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JayGoat:
Tried that one and I don't trust the results. Every second the mA are drastically changing from 1mA to 950mA while it's plugged in. To my understanding it should be staying around a mA and not jumping all over.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pfeffernuss:
App is indeed useless.

Well, you could use it as a random number generator, true.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilz:
I could send you a random number generator in CPP ;)

Anyway is there an actual day to tell how much current it's drawing? Also I know the SD801 is QC 2.0 compatible, but do we need a software update to utilize a QC 2.0 charger the way it's intended?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pfeffernuss:
I use Antutu benchmark, but thanks anyway! :cool:

Don't know, yet. On the SGS4 the Charging Current app worked quite well, haven't found anything so far for the G3 which is as accurate/at all.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JayGoat:
I've read, don't remember where, that LG's way of charging differs from Quals and other manufacturers standards on the hardware level. So the G3 wouldn't be able to use the Quick Charge even with some software change. I've tried that Galaxy Current app and that reports negative mA when charging on the G3 so that's also a no go.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilz:
It's a baked in feature of the SD 800/801/805 chips so I don't know if they could disable it. I really hope it's still there just in case I need to use it (even though I have a spare battery). Is there anyway to know for sure?

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] retroben:
Do you have any other HDMI wires to hook to your Fire TV?

Mine gets that issue occasionally,but I can always fix it by using the Ctrl+Alt+Delete hotkeys to reset it.

Don't use any cheap or flimsy wires with the grey or "silver" metal tips because they don't work so well.

I was getting slenderman vibes when using a cheap wire on a Sony NSZ-GS7 I once had because it got evil looking static distortion at random.

I reccommend a Vizio HDMI wire like the one I got on my Fire TV with big savings from Wal-Mart quite a while back.

Or look for any trustworthy brand with a gold-tipped HDMI and 4k support even though the Fire TV can only go up to 1080P.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htxmade:
I swapped hdmi but still had no luck.

I will try the hotkeys you mentioned.

I tried to root this almost unbranded tablet (turbo x strike ii) with cydia impactor,it successfully pushed the busybox and su but there was no root access when i checked with root checker.

Then i tried to root with kingo, said it was successful but still no root.

Then i tried v root, said successfull as well, installed the chinese superuser but still no root access.

Can it be rooted or wipe it all out?

If i am to wipe it all out how can i do that with an unrooted unbranded tablet which i have no rom or the means to flash it? :P

It sounds like more trouble than is actually worth but any suggestions will do, thanks in advance!
[General Questions and Answers] TheArc:
Well it is half rooted I suppose, but you will have to go to /system/bin and if you see "su" its rooted. If not then you'll need to find a way to push a su file there.
[General Questions and Answers] Grabbycat:
in /system/xbin there is a "su" file, but i can't push anything or even mount the system into rw with the "mount:read-only file system"error i get. thanks for the help!
[General Questions and Answers] TheArc:
So you actually have it rooted but its not working as its supposed to. Is there any recovery available for the device?
[General Questions and Answers] Grabbycat:
cwm doesn't support the device :P But i am able to boot into recovery from "adb reboot recovery" if thats what you meant, just tried it!
[General Questions and Answers] TheArc:
Why don't you try and re-root it using the same method.
[General Questions and Answers] Grabbycat:
I used another root method by flashing a zip from recovery, thanks for the help! But this other crazy thing is that despite being rooted and apps tha require permision work, i cannot remount the /system to get the play store there. I tried flashing gapps, tried with /system/app, root explorer, es explorer, mount /system, adb remount and nothing all i get is "mount:read-only file system". Any ideas? :P

You can try this patch:

It should enable RTL support for your ROM.

itzik2sh also released a fully translated Hebrew ROM that has RTL support built in which might be easier for you to try out.

He's also got a guide to making a stock GB ROM fully localized if you wanna edit his Hebrew ROM and want to add Arabic support.

You can also try installing the Team Acid CM11 (Link in my signature) which comes with full Arabic support out of the box, and you will be able to use the latest version of Android.

Thank you for refering to pathces. Actually I installed remics-ux (5 month) and CM9 (5 month) and was not happy with high battery drains. On Gingerbread recharged every 3 days but on those every day ...

[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGeeZus:
I am quite interested how the independent development of this device is gonna turn and if anyone is in the mood on forgetting their fear of spoiler, what are ideas on hand on how can a custom ROM can make use of the secondary screen or it doesn't look good according to Samsung's SDK?

(Did not have the chance on see the SDK myself and probably will not have the time until further notice) and quite frankly I might sit as an spectator rather than helping in development for this one.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] friedrich420:
99% this will be the next device for which i will develop both a rom and a kernel..

I have no plans so there will be no spoilers here ;) the only plan i have is to mod the _______ out of the secondary screen...

Im waiting for the 1st system dump to see what we have to play with here..

and of course for the samsung official source...

I dont know why people look down on this device..

Its like the DISAPPOINTING Note 4 but with something new for once..

[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iZack187:
I am not a developer at all, but I cannot live with stock roms for the sake of me! I am 99% sure to be getting a Note Edge, and I am so happy to see there is a dev already onboard with it! :D

My question is... this is obviously touchwiz... but do you see the "Edge" screen ever being implemented in custom AOSP roms fot the Note Edge in the future? Or would flashing AOSP make that Edge screen completely black...?

Thanks
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] friedrich420:
I dont see why that would be impossible. Def not easy but there are some great minds out there ;)

But my experience says that first you will see a few TW kernels before an AOSP one.. And usually the 1st AOSP takes a while.. And it needs a few releases before it can be a daily driver..

And im sorry i may disappoint you my man but i build roms and kernels for TW.. I know.. we all have our flaws ;)
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iZack187:
hahha, don't worry, you do your thing! I have a complicated relationship with Samsung... I love their galaxy line, yet hate TouchWiz lol. But just like any new galaxy device, TW roms are always up first, and AOSP a few months later. As long as every single samsung bloatware can be removed from TW and xposed framework is running, I'm satisfied lol

I LOVE this thread!! Your requests are the best because they are definitely doable ;)

Ill make an aroma to give the option for what bloat you will want to install or not install. If aroma causes us any issues i can always make a "debloater" (its a simple script that you flash and remove the bloat you want)

Something that worries me though you guys.. Is is gonna be only in a few markets?? I read that initially it maybe only in Asian Markets :(

[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iZack187:
I know the Note 4 is coming everywhere, but you are right... the Note Edge is restricted to a limited market. Usually, that means the phone will be available in all countries but at full price. Anyways, we should all expect a "premium" price for this device, Samsung said so themselves, already trying to save up, lol. I'm in Canada, I doubt it will come here, but I'm pretty confident I'll be able to import it somehow. With all the current technology it has, it should have multiple LTE radios in it.

[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The-Chief:
This Note 3 and I have rocked on together for the past year with Hyperdrive ROM. But this new device just screams "Buy me and impress everyone!"

I have money banked for the Note Edge, full retail. But I've seen price estimates as high as USD $1300! How on EARTH I can mentally justify paying half again for a phone's "coolness" isn't something I've completely reconciled yet... but if I do get the Edge, I will likely have it for at least two or three years. The Darling Bride will have a cow - I mean, she will give live birth to a bovine creature - if she finds out I just plunked down that much payola for a PHONE. This had better be really, really good, because it's going to be me and that phone in the doghouse until around Christmas!

It doesn't help that she watched the Unpacked event and wants her own Note 4. That's putting a hurt in the wallet!

Back on topic: will the developer community embrace this "limited availability" device, or concentrate on the Note 4? I want the Edge, but I REALLY want a rooted and ROMmed Edge.

It seems that the Edge has the same functionality as the Note 4... with the added functionality of the edge screen. So a ROM for the Note 4 should easily be ported over to the Edge with just a few extra lines of code. One would think.

So I really, really hope that you fine developers find a root exploit, a suitable bootstrap method, and start cranking out ROMs for the Edge. That would be the icing on the cake, baby!

:)
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hobox10:
I'm really interested in the Note 4 Edge but from what I've read about the device is that it's extremely annoying to hold and use with one hand. You keep activating the side screen when trying to hold the device tight enough for it not to fall. I can't see any way custom software would get around that issue.

On the other hand, I wish Samsung kept up with their pattern and made it a 5.9" device, even if just for the sake of having a bigger battery. A 20 mAh increase is practically no increase, especially when you're driving that many more pixels. I'm worried about battery life on this thing.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malickie:
The real question since this device is certain to hit all four major US Carriers. Which carriers will have the bootloader locked down to damn near uselessness. I am willing to bet AT&T and Verizon will have them locked down to hell (For sure AT&T I mean the whole S line starting with the S4 are still locked down as in no custom kernels which is annoying to say the least).
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The-Chief:
OH I can assure you that Verizon's bootloader will be locked down and it'll be bloated to smithereens! Now that Hashcode has stopped all development for Safestrap, I'm really hoping and praying that another developer will take the torch, so to speak, and create a bootstrapper for the Note 4 & Note Edge. Once we have a root exploit and a bootstrap, let the ROMming begin!

:D
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2k10MBC300SPT:

[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The-Chief:
So what are the odds of a developer creating a USA Verizon ROM? If this is the prevailing attitude among developers, I'm starting to feel more optimistic... now let's get an actual PHONE released :p

Of course the Verizon phone will have a locked bootloader, so a bootstrap program will be essential. Someone needs to pick up where Hashcode left off developing Safestrap. Then the ROM.

Come on devs! I'm rooting for you!

[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snowblind2142:
I'm in the same boat as you guys...

I bought a note 10.1 2013 edition some time ago. Its a great tablet, but it was my first experience of owning a "under developed" device.

We were lucky to have a couple of developers that seem to continue working on it.

Ultimately I really don't want it to happen with my phone =(

My question, I know all the reviews are ect are stating it's "near" identical to the note 4. But exactly how close is it?

Same chipset? Maybe we will be able to modify what's going on over at the note 4 forums releasing here.

I'm not technically minded enough to know if this were the case.

Never the less, still very exited to get a note (at the very least)

Will be watching the forums closely to see what developers like yourself manage to do with this edge screen ;)

Good luck!
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The-Chief:
The chipset is, AFAIK, identical to the Note 4. About the ONLY difference in the firmware is the addition of the edge screen and that functionality. I have all confidence that the fine developers here can write a ROM for the Edge that makes full use of the edge screen's capability... but the question is WILL they? Will there be enough Edges out there to make it a worthwhile endeavor? I'm reading 10 million Note 4s being released to 1 million (or fewer) Note Edges... and then THEY'RE all divided out between the various carriers, making Verizon Edges even more scarce.
