[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TarikVaineTree:
Hello folks!

There's two reasons why I want to "cheat" on my apps:

1. Creating videos from Google+ photos is only possible within the G+ foto app for a few specific devices. Since I'm on Note 2 I missed my luck because since Note 3 it's supported. So I would love to make app think I've actually got a Note 3 to make use of the video feature.

2. Right now the movie "Gravity" is available for free for Nexus 5 owners. So I would love to cheat on the Google Play Movies app to add that movie to my account for free.

Is there a solution?

Of course I'm rooted. :)

You can edit the build.prop in /system to reflect that you have another device.

Hi Guys.

I wondered if there's anyone with a rooted galaxy gear running android with a working recovery would like to test out something new im working on?

I don't get my gear until next week and would like to hit the ground running.

Will be a real nice addition to the gear of we can get it working!!!

Reply or PM me for more info :)

Thanks Guys.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] maskerwsk:
Abit more info.

The mod is a rom control tab. Its listed in settings and holds checkboxes, list preferences and color pickers for statusbar color etc.

Im only working on the settings.apk at the moment so if anyone would be kind enough to test i could then move onto the systemui and implementing all the mods you will see under the rom control tab.

Thanks.

Hi guys, my power button has went in but it's still pressible. Is this normal? My phone's sides also shows signs of rusting as well. Normal or not?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsems1000:
I understand the postives ... i think:

-Unlocked bootloader

-cheaper overall price if purchased via off contract.

-customizable pending New android root success.

But what are we losing with going w/ the Dev model?

-no auto updates from vzw?

-do we still get samsung updates?

-any spec differences that I'm not aware of?

-unknown developer support
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] holycow1:
Another possible pro is higher resell value since it is compatible with Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile (among other smaller carriers).
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oneandroidnut:
Price is now $699 + tax so same as verizon

Losing

no updates from verizon (means no lollipop unless ported)

no updates from samsung (means no lollipop unless ported)

unknown developer support

specs are the same

Qmg2Png Tool is a simple app I made to easily convert QMG resources to PNG format for easy theming. This is just a simple wrapper tool that uses the Touchwiz Roms builtin image loader to load qmg resources and then saving them back as png images. So it means that it will only work on Touchwiz 4.4.4 and above like the Note 4.

I came up with the tool when I was porting the Sprint Note 3 4.4.4 update on my N9005 and I needed to test some ported apps from Note 4. I thought if the ROM can read qmg resources, perhaps it can save them also to a different format to ease the theming process.

So just download the app, install, and pick an apk from sdcard and the app will extract the qmg resources and convert them to png format and saving them in the QMg2Png folder in the sdcard. The output folder retains the folder structure of the extracted apk.

Note: Use at your own risk and no guarantees that it will function as intended on your device.

............ and don't forget to re-sign the file, else it won't work

I use ZipSigner on my phone (easy), but there is also Apk Mutltitool and obviously you can sign with the sdk itself
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] tdunham:
Resigning an apk may create problems since the random signature will not match the signatures in the rom itself.

There are a couple ways around this:

- I use apktool manually from a commandline so I copy stock androidmanifest.xml and meta-inf folder back into the recompiled file. This gives the file the same exact signature as the rest of the rom. It may be an old-school method but it's never failed me yet. ;)

- Use a tool that pulls and reinserts these items for you automatically on recompile. (I think Multi-tool utility you quoted above is one that does this too)
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] MBariya:

[P3600 General] wingnutLP:
Tried noviiremote and it will not work at all.

All the reviews say it does have irda but the HTC site is not clear.

Any ideas?

If it does can anyone recommend remote control software?

Thanks :)
[P3600 General] wingnutLP:
someone must know if it has Irda!!
[P3600 General] wishmaster82:
trinity have irda. I have novi remote deluxe and works fine.. but you have to stay near the receiver 1 or 2 m (TV or other...)
[P3600 General] mrsmart:
I tried also with the NOVII remote deluxe, and the maxium range is 2m. Which is no point to use this as "remote" right?? :mad:
[P3600 General] leecotton:
It's definately there...

...but it's really only designed for device to device data transfer, not for use as a TV remote control, etc. The IRDA "eye" is also annoyingly place on the bottom of the device, meaning you generally have to turn it upside down to transfer stuff!

Lee.
[P3600 General] Borbosch:
Sure, its designed for data transfer but many other PPC have an IRDA port which with enough power to control a tv in a range of 4-6 meters.

The place of the IRDA eye is not a problem. There are some programs which can flip the screen upside down. I often do that because i have an IRDA Keyboard.

Greetings,

Borbosch
[P3600 General] wingnutLP:
novii remote will invert screen but I could not get it to work at all. Maybe I was not close enough :(
[P3600 General] anderson a:
Do you mean it won't invert by itself when you launch noviiremote on your handheld? I'm asking because this application will do it by itself on my PDA
[P3600 General] anderson a:
Well, at least you can use your handheld as a wake-up remote:

novii have just surprised me - they released the WAWA alarm software (http://novii.tv/pocketpc/wawa), that will let your handheld turn on your TV (or whatever) to wake you up in the morning. I liked it so much!

Moreover, it can be used as a conventional alarm software with all functions that any alarm software will have.
[P3600 General] tuttoilmondo:
Hello, I have got two PDA, HP HX4700 and HTC P3600. Novii remote with the HP 4700 has a range of 15mt the P3600 only 1 mt. The internal codes of noviremote works fine with the HP HX4700 but doesn't works with P3600. The only way to use noviremote with P3600 is use the learning mode for every device, I don't know why.
[P3600 General] anderson a:
Hmmm... This never happened to me. Noviiremote should work finr with your P3600. I think you should contact NoviiMedia support team, they are quick to respond and usually resolve any issue. Good luck!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] n4ogl:
I searched and found hundreds of posts about towelroot all over the (Android) place. Is there one master thread for towelroot issues/updates? While I had good luck with TR on the previous update, the new update canceled out root. Rather than follow the currently recommended downgrade-upgrade choice, I'd like to wait a while to see if towelroot gets upgraded to support the new NC6. It seems reasonable to think that the developers of towelroot would be working on an updated version to bring that utility to the next Android version as well, and I can be patient for an easier solution.

What isn't clear on the downgrade/upgrade thread is whether the 'no wipe' version can be used for the down/up. I'd rather not spend a day reloading everything (in addition to the one I already spent to cure the random reboot problem).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sponix2ipfw:
Read again... The method of gaining root with towelroot on NG6 involves temporarily downgrading the Kernel to the one NC5 uses, running towelroot to gain access then going back to the NG6 kernel. From what I've seen posted about NG6 I'm sticking to NC5 for now...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
TowelRoot is NOT Going to be updated!!! It only works for kernels built before June 4th because it relies on the Futex vulnerability, and it was patched in the AOSP tree on June 4th. the only updates to TR were to add different device memory locations, not to update the vulnerability.

A new native root method may come out... but I doubt it will until Android 5.0 comes out, and from the sound of it, even then, it isn't just going to be an app style root method... but a convoluted ADB method (requires PC).

So I would actually fully downgrade to NC5 with Odin if I were you, use SafeStrap for ROMs, and stay there until Android L.

You *Can* root and stay on NG6 with the method of flashing the NC5 kernel, then root, reflash the NG6 kernel. But SafeStrap doesn't work on the NG6 kernel.

Hi,

I am a OnePlus One owner (international A0001) and using the phone in India. I am having a problem which I am hoping to get answers here.

When I select a contact number, the Dialer app adds four zeros automatically before the number (like 0000+91xxxxxxxxxx or 0000xxxxxxxxxx).

Is there a way to not add these zeros before a contact cell number.

Best Regards,

Prajeeth

Hi,

i had the same issue, but i also had tawkon installed on my phone.

i uninstalled the same and restarted the system.

it worked for me, no longer do i get appended 0000 in front of the nos.

Hope this helps, i guess some issue with phone related apps which causes the dialer to have that issue.

try uninstalling tawkon (similar apps) and let me know if it works

[Verizon LG G3] rp201:
Bought my first tempered glass screen protector from amazon for $6.99 for the G3. .33h thick. I will never go back to a plastic one ever again on any device. it looks awesome. Very scratch resistant and hardly or no grease ever collects on it so it is very streak resistant. This buy is a no brainer.

Install instructions.

After cleaning screen with some alcohol base cleaner and micro fiber i went into the bathroom where I had a hot shower running to reduce the dust in the room. I then used scotch tape and attached to the phone like a book with 2 strips attached on the side. I did not remove the inside protection sheet on the tempered glass yet. I was now able to fold the screen onto the phone like a book with precision. I then used scotch tape connected together as if to be double stick side and tapped the whole screen clean of dust with the scotch tape. I then removed the inside protection sheet on the tempered glass and folded it over onto the phone and viola! perfection!

[Verizon LG G3] cmorty72:
So I take it there is no issues with screen sensitivity with this tempered glass protector? The ones offered through Verizon seems make screen sensitivity an issue.
[Verizon LG G3] robertwhitten87:
I'm useing a .33 one. I don't notice any issues.
[Verizon LG G3] cmorty72:
Good to know, just placed an order for one this morning.
[Verizon LG G3] rp201:
I have to say I have noticed a very very slight sensitivty issue but very very infrequent. I find the return to be far greater than the loss as I was having far greater issues of streaking from grease. My call is a much far greater improvement over all. like a said, this ones a no brainer. (since I don't have a brain [all statements I've made = true] lol

also since I used a circle case I was always getting a circle dust/grease stain I was constantly cleaning every time I opened my phone. this has changed dramatically with the tempered protector. If your using a otterbox defender which has an additional screen this may cause a problem. I would go back and check for you cause I have a defender but I love my wireless charging and I love the case and I'm not going back. Some people have this case for sale on amazon for around $27. I figured I would just buy through verizon since I get a 25% discount on accessories and it is warrantied for 1 year. If I get problem I can just walk into a store and replace it that day. (I hate to wait)

cheers.
[Verizon LG G3] PizzaSauce:
I had the same sensitivity problem with mine. Ended up taking it off after a couple weeks because it was so annoying. Mine was Verizon branded and pretty thick though.

Note, with the Otterbox Defender, it's a good idea to pop out that pre-installed screen protector. It's garbage and the case still fits on a phone with tempered glass.
[Verizon LG G3] SOCOM-HERO:
Using the iCarez and a Ditztronic case, perfect match. Can't even tell it has the screen protector.

I had an Icarez 0.33mm one and definitely noticed a difference in sensitivity. I ended up removing it because it was annoying to me. I noticed since I bought it they now have a 0.2mm version, would love to hear if anyone who's used both noticed an improvement.
[Verizon LG G3] cmorty72:
I do believe the .33mm is about the same thickness as the Verizon Wireless one I had and returned. My Zagg is in the .25mm range, so I'm sure the .22mm iCarez should do you just fine.

I've had my G3 since last july and she's been completely naked the whole time. It's the best and only way I can enjoy having my phone :)

You guys just need to be more careful :D
[Verizon LG G3] rp201:
yep were all clutz's thank god their is one among us who is perfect. So what's your secret on how your so careful? do yo have a dedicated pocket for it where change, receipts, and other nick nack stuff never enters? You never let anyone hold it or touch iit.... it's "my precious" You never mount it in your car? (they do fall out some times) I recently tried out the .22 one since my .33 got shattered and it saved my screen from being cracked. I was walking rather quickly to the hospital for an emergency when I dropped my phone and then kicked it 6 feet forward on it's front side. still good as new and not even a scratch on the front edges. glass protected it cause it was higher than the outside edges when face down. I now hand my phone to anyone and would choose to not care rather than over-care. Here take my picture thanks. I liked the .33 because it had far less grease streaking. but I also liked the .22 because it did have better touch sensitivity. For the record I noticed the when i'm laying in bed and I place the phone on my chest and hold the top of my phone with my fingers and try to tap with my thumb it doesn't work very well. That was because I was covering the sensor that senses if it close to your face when you talk so it disables the touch screen. I said this just incase people think it is the .33 screen causing an issue
[Verizon LG G3] imucarmen:
I'm not sure if you are seriously asking me or just being a smartbutt. Your post started with a lot of sarcasm but ended rather serious so I'm going to pretend you were seriously asking and just giving me a hard time in the first part of your post.

My secret is just being aware. Yes, I keep my phone in my pocket and always make sure nothing else is in that pocket with it.

I never have anyone use my phone so that isn't an issue either. Not because it's "my precious" but because those situations just never come up. Everyone I know has their own phone so never need to use mine.

No, I don't mount it in my car, I sit in my cupholder that acts as a perfect G3 holder and never falls out.

Honestly though, I just meant my post as a joke. What I said is true but it doesn't mean I'm perfect. I've had some very close calls. My phone has fallen more than once including one day face down from 4ft off my work bench onto a plywood floor and landed flat on the screen. I prepared for the worst when I picked it up but thankfully nothing broke. I used to always use screen protectors and cases but stopped when i got the G2 because it felt so nice in the hand and a case ruined the experience. I did use a screen protector on the G2 but for whatever reason I've not bought anything for the G3. I actually read this thread because I was considering buying one but after reading it I changed my mind and thought to myself, "I've been 7 months without anything and my phone still looks new, so I'm gonna roll with it". :D
[Verizon LG G3] rp201:
yeah, I started off as a sarcastic douche and then got serious. thanks for taking it in a positive light. When you use in a carmount I "eh-hem" use it in park only. I also use a bluetooth mouse to control it. I also prefer it on the dash in the center so your still looking forward with peripheral vision. That dam phone slides and falls. screen protector a must for that but also like a said. I had a droidx 1st gen I always kept with my screen protector on. I got tired and took it off cause the phone looked so much better. that was a short lived period.
