[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tromatic:
My one and only SWAG would be do you have BusyBox and the SE Linux permission changer? Anything beyond that is one for the smart folks.

ETA: Here is what I did after a few fits and starts:

Make sure you have the TowelRoot, SafeStrap, BusyBox, SE Linux Mode Changer and SuperSU APK files on your external SD card. I copied the actual APK files to my external SD card.

Flashed the stock NC5 ROM from here: [ODIN][TAR] I545VRUFNC5 Factory and No-Wipe Odin tars

Once the stock ROM is up and running, I installed the TowelRoot APK, "make it rain" and rebooted.

Next, install SuperSU. If it asks to disable Knox, select "no", reboot. Mine always hangs while disabling Knox without the reboot. Go back to SuperSU, disable Knox.

Then SE Linux Mode Changer. Note that it seems that the active option is the grayed-out button! Select "Permissive" and "Show notification after mode changed", exit and reboot. You should have a message from the app in notifications that "SE Linux mode changed to permissive!"

Now install BusyBox. Then, sigh, reboot. The end is near! Install SafeStrap. If the button "Reboot To Recovery" is available, all should be well.

I get an error or two here, but it should reboot. Reboot to recovery and see what happens. See if you can create ROM Slot 1.

If that does not work, you need professional help!

I think there are issues with fonts..... there is little bleeding.... specially if you see or type the word "l" in your wizard...for i.e in the word document... or if you see any word with 'l" in it... you will see a little reddish color in it... have guys noticed this thing or maybe its jus an illusion for me...?

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] A2Z:
Can confirm I also see this that is why I disable cleartype; the screen is way too small for Cleartype and it makes letters more blurry in my view.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] xtremdremz:
Agreed, I disable Cleartype in all modes. The letters are too blurry to read and give you a headache after about 10 minutes of trying to squint and read.

Its been almost a month using this Beast. Last week i installed AOSP by Ivan 4.10.15. Suddenly yesterday my phone vibration became weird. Don't know what happened to it. I mean it was working fine. Now whenever my phone vibrates its making a crack sound & Trust me it really very annoying & It looks like Damaged Speakers. But i checked everything the sound is working fine.

PS: Tried MIUI 6 N MIUI 5.. Problem Still Occurs.

Is there a way to play it ?, I can not find the game on play store. But yes we could find out through by website (play.google.com)

But is not compatible with my device.
[Asus Fonepad 7] totenkopf_name:
try download from other site
[Asus Fonepad 7] hocroxinfotech:
If it is not supported on your device then you can most probably play it by rooting your phone, (I tried it once on samsung ace and it did worked for me but I am not sure it will work for you or not )or either wait for the game to come on your phone.

[One (M8) General] Soldier2000:
Last week i bought a HTC One m8, after using my Samsung S2 for many years. I really like the HTC One m8, however, i noticed that my hand/vingers are aching when i use my M8 for 10/15 minutes in one hand. I never experienced this pain with my S2. I think it's because of the weight + size of the m8. In order to reach for example the status bar, i have stretch my thumb to pull it down.

At this point i'm thinking of returning the M8, because i have some doubts if this pain will go away.

Are there users who have experienced the same problem?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rice923:
I'm currently on a Moto x (2013), coming from a Galaxy Nexus. I switched because I needed a faster phone, and the GN hardware is just too dated. The moto x seemed perfect, until I found out I can't tether, root, or unlock the bootloader to save my life.

That being said, I'm in the market for a Verizon S3, which will likely already have 4.4.2 installed. My main concern is root access and native hotspot tethering (unlimited data). The following are what I have found thus far:

1) root: http://www.andromods.com/root-unlock/sch-i535-vzw-galaxy-s3-kitkat-rooted-nc1-ota.html

2) tethering: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxBRrsucdLo <---- the guy who created the vid doesn't have VZN, so was hoping someone here can verify if that works.

3) bootloader: I found nothing on unlocking a VZN bootloader, but this is the least of my concerns

4) ROM: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3-verizon/development/rom-superliterom-v1-0-i535vrudne1-t2805797

My assumption was always that an unlocked bootloader was necessary to flash ROMs through custom recoveries. I'm unfamiliar with safestrap, but I'm all in for a bit of reading and enlightening.

Again, I don't necessarily need a custom ROM or bootloader. My main concerns are still tethering (main priority) and root access (second priority)

Thanks all, and I definitely appreciate any help at all!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XdrummerXboy:
Root is still possible. Tethering *USED* to work on stock by using the FoxFi app. I haven't tested it in quite some time though. There's a limit for the free version, use it for testing though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rice923:
I actually made the jump already. Sending this from my s3, boot loader unlocked, twrp, and running cm11.

Thoroughly enjoying this! Tether is flawless too
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 6Binford:
Do tell how. Especially if you did start with a Verizon galaxy s3 sgh-i535 that was not rooted and was running on stock Verizon Android 4.4.2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rice923:
To clarify, I bought it set up this way. I knew clearly well that I wouldn't be able to get any of this with stock 4.4.2.

On the other hand though, the camera won't focus correctly when taking pics, and the charging is ridiculously slow. My only two complaints
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Rushead:
Hey Rice,

I'm still on the GNex, but my wife just offered up her old GS3. It's still on 4.1.2 unlocked, rooted. I'm working on bringing it up to speed...still reading....

P.S. Is there no kernel fast charge option?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rice923:
I remember seeing you around MWs FML thread! 5.0 is looking decent over there, so I'm very happy for them.

If you get the chance, I'd definitely recommend CM11. It make me feel like I'm running a nexus device again, except significantly faster than the gnex with a better camera.

Regarding the charging speed, I don't think it's a kernel issue. With the phone plugged in, I keep getting notifications that it's being disconnectedAnd reconnected spontaneously. I've done some reading and and it seems there is a bit of oxidation or hardware issue within the charging port. The port also requires soldering of the mother board to change. I've resorted to ordering some qi chargers[emoji106]

As for the camera, this seems to be an old issue of cm11. I flashed a camera fix zip, but to no avail. The focus issue seems to be problematic only at macro distances though. I can't find a fix besides touching to focus prior to taking macro shots
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
With 4.4.2 if that's what your referring to you can't change the kernel like those of us who are unlocked

From my CM11 S3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Rushead:
No, it's 4.1.2 I put her on Andy bonestock years ago and never touched it again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
Then yes there are several kernel options for fast charge. I know of lean kernel and ktoonsez off hand that are

From my CM11 S3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rice923:
Don't want to start a new thread even though the title is irrelevant at this point, but was hoping someone could chime in regarding the camera auto focus issue. The camera focuses beautifully when I touch the screen, or when I allow it to autofocus. When I proceed to take the pic, it will try to focus again and take the pic right as it's completely blurry. This happens on both the stock CM11 camera and google camera.

I tried to flash the zip mentioned here http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/85493-camera-wont-focus-cm11/ and nothing has improved.

Does anyone have any insight about this? These symptoms are identical to what many have mentioned in the thread above, so this is certainly not an isolated incident. Thoughts or input?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Rushead:
Who reads titles anyway?

I flashed Slim, and messed around with the camera a little, but I had wifi issues and am in the process of flashing cm11 11-09.

On Slim, the camera seemed to work fine. I took some "macro-esque" shots of text that came out pretty good (at least as good as the GNex, if not better).

I'll let you know how it fares with cm11...

So far, camera FCs on hitting the "No Thanks" button for location reporting.

OK, Camera is now functional (probably didn't wait long enough for the phone to settle on initial setup). The quality is mediocre. I'm still messing with it and will report back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] evbb:
switching phones, want to keep/root the old Galaxy s3 as a lab/toy

Have an old Verizon Galaxy S3. Just got a new TMo Sony Xperia Z3 (which I am liking so far).

Will soon disconnect my Verizon service. Would like to root the S3 and use it wifi only as a experiment/toy thing, since there's no trade in value (cracked screen).

Possible? Cyanogenmod recommended?

I'm a total n00b at all this, and would steer totally clear of it for my main driver. But since I don't really NEED this phone anymore, thought this would be a safe way to dip my toes in. If I brick it in the process, no great loss.

Any advice or links would be much appreciated. Definitely want it to keep working as a wifi device and not brick once I cancel my Verizon service. Would be cool to be able to play with some of the fringier apps that require root. Those are my only requirements. Camera, cell service, etc all unnecessary. But do need wifi and don't want to create a big vulnerability to the rest of my home wifi network from this device once I'm done.

Thanks again!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rice923:
evbb, depending on your current OS version, you might be able to root. If you are on the most current official OS, then you will likely just be staying with that.

Rushead, any update on how CM11 11-09 is going? If everything looks stable, I think I'll make the jump to that build.

Update about my charging times: The phone seems to charge at a normal rate if I use a 12V car charger made by Griffin (item does not specify amperage). I don't believe amperage has antying to do with my situation, as I've been yielding miserably slow charge times with the Nexus 7 (2.1 amp) charger. The phone is also very picky with cables. I've used 4 different AC adapters so far in different combinations with 4 different USB cables. I don't know what to think of my charging situation anymore...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Rushead:
When my wife had the phone it was extremely loose as far as cables went. I could use virtually any cable whereas my GNex is super picky.

I haven't had much time to mess with the camera yet. I'm using it as a WiFi device, too, so I can't comment on data, signal, etc. But so far it seems pretty stable. The battery drain is excessive imo. On standby for most of the day, battery was dead by 10pm. That's factory kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
For those looking for a decent tethering app there's one on sale, free on the Amazon app store. Easy Tether is the name of the app. It's free 11/14 & 11/15

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=amb_lin...d_t=101&pf_rd_p=1973721462&pf_rd_i=2350149011

From my CM11 S3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cyberkeeper1:
You should try a very specific type of cable. The problem is the fact that you use a data cable at all. What I use is an aftermarket universal USB cable and it has the detachable tip for other phones. What this does is force the phone in "Charging (AC)" mode no matter what charger you use. Attached are 2 pictures to help identify exactly the kind of cable to solve your issue. I can charge my 7000 mah battery attached to my phone in 5 - 6 hours. A 2100 ah battery should be 1 - 2 hours with this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cyberkeeper1:
Some chargers identify as a USB hub rather than an AC adapter, and others do not. This is why on some chargers, it still charges slow. If ever the phone thinks it is on USB, it will not allow more than 650mah to pass through the cable. So even if you had a 10amp charger, it would not use that much if it identified as a hub.

Using the cable I mentioned removes the ability for any charger to send the identifier info to the phone. Reason? You are missing the data+/- cables that data is transmitted through. Only the +/-5v wires remain.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rice923:
But why would the phone have a constant disconnection and reconnection while being plugged in? That's the part that confuses me.

Regardless, I just received my qi charge in the mail! It's been pretty nice so far! I'm happy to answer any questions about it if anyone is interested
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rice923:
Rushead, wanted to give you a heads-up about the latest CM11 build I used. I clean flashed 11-15 and everything was great except for the camera, which consistently gave me a "cannot connect to camera" error. Otherwise, it seemed like a great build with some great options. I gave up and clean flashed 01-15. Camera is all great except for the autofocus issue mentioned before. GPS lock is great, and battery life is loads better than my GNex days.

Regarding my qi chargers, I am pulling a net positive charge of 315mA on my house charger (Nexus 7 2.1amp AC adapter). This is with the phone turned on, connected to Wi-Fi, screen off, and doing nothing.

My car qi charger is doing about the same. I ran the GPS with screen on (auto brightness) and the charger only charged the phone 3% in 2 hours with screen on and GPS running the whole time. I might switch the DC socket to the included one to see if I get better results.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cyberkeeper1:
That very well could be a jack issue. If the Jack has been used a lot, bent while in use, etc., it can cause problems with not charging. If a new charger fixed that, then it was the charger. If not, check cabling first.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] northward:
I've been searching for some time now for an anticontainer app for Android. To explain what I mean, Windows programs like Bulk Image Downloader, or Windows Firefox extensions like DownThemAll Anticontainer, will take the URL of a Web page displaying linked thumbnails of images from many popular image hosting sites and download the full size images in a batch job, bypassing the Javascript or CSS that embeds the full size image on the image host's site. It saves the user having to click on each thumbnail individually and going through several clicks and pop-up ads just to get to each full size image.

Such applications are so popular on Windows machines, I'm somewhat incredulous that no one has created one to function on Android. Am I just searching incorrectly? Does anyone know of any such Android apps out there?

Thanks in advance!

Evening guys,

so 2 days ago I flashed the Philz Recovery for testing. While I had the recovery on I flashed the latest Nightly of the Slim Kat Rom + Cyodak Kernel also for testing.

Ofc I backed up my files be4 doing so. Today I just recovered my backup, went to recovery again but the Philz recovery was still there. '''kk no prob i thought,

just flash the CWM Touch recovery again'' so I did, rebooted back into recovery mode and what happened? Instead of booting into the cwm recovery, there's

still the philz recovery. While in philz on the bottom left it shows "Philz Touch 6.48.4 and ClockworkMod v6.0.5.0" So no Idea what to do and it gets frustrating tho..

Thx in advance :).
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Adam77Root:
You didn't flash CWM again, or not properly, unless you wouldn't have PhilZ still.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] K4iZEN:
well there's nothing much I could do wrong. Reboot into Recovery -> Install Zip from ext. SD -> choose the CWM Recovery -> Install -> Reboot into Recovery and CWM should be there right?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] K4iZEN:
Also i've tried to restore the backup which I made be4 installing the Philz recovery. Backup was a success but once i'll boot into recovery it's the philz recovery again.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Adam77Root:
Backups do not contain recovery.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] K4iZEN:
rly? Cuz my backup backups also the boot.img + the recovery. Anyway what am I going to do now? I've tried several ways, even flashing the TWRP as a zip, flashing via flashify or Rom Manager, no matter what I do I always end up in the philz recovery even when it says flash successfull.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] LGaljo:
You can use fastboot to flash recovery.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] robboy:
I should be getting my new artemis tomorrow. Im off on holiday soon and im hoping that when you take a picture there is an option to log the gps coordinates so you can tell where I was taken. Maybe you can even import them into google earth????

If this isn’t possible maybe there is some 3rd party software. Or any other good gps tracing applications??

Soz if this has already been covered, I have had a look at previous post!!!
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] DARKHalf:
There are lots of apps which get GPS coordinates. These are mostly for some Bluetooth GPS devices as diagnostics software. The German .NET Magazine dotnet pro had an article about getting GPS coordinates. If you are familiar with .NET programming you could write an additional GoogleEarth export.

Alternatively you could look after some ready made tools.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] robboy:
Im really surprised that nobody else wants to do this on a pda especially as the Artemis has a built in gps receiver!!!

!

I have since learned that this is called geotagging and some digital cameras with now embed the gps coordinated onto the picture. Web sites like http://www.panoramio.com/ which make a kml file to view your pics in google earth.

At the moment tho i have to find these coordinates by using picasa 2

and using their geotag option but you still have to find the location manually on google earth

download picasa here: http://picasa-server.com/?s=yp_uk&OVRAW=picasa 2&OVKEY=picasa 2&OVMTC=standard

It would be so much easier to be able to just take a pic on the Artemis and have the coordinates automacally embedded on to the file!

Any new ideas????
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] mhuhn:
I heard that the Dopod ROM has this feature (geo coding). So solution for other ROMs yet.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] robboy:
im quite happy with my rom at the mo, dont wanna mess about with it. But if thats the only way i might have to look into it
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] travegliaesogno:
Here is the solution to activate the gps photo on the Artemis...

Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera\

create a new folder called P9 and then

"ProfileName"="GPS Photo"

"MainCamCaptSize"=dword:00000040

"Enable"=dword:00000001

"2ndCamSupportCaptSize"=dword:00000054

"MainCamSupportCaptSize"=dword:000002D4

"2ndCamCaptSize"=dword:00000040

"EnableRecLimit"=dword:00000000

"RecLimitSize"=dword:0000005F

"RecLimitedType"=dword:00000000

"EncodeFormat"=dword:00000003

"CaptureFormat"=dword:00000002

"Property"=dword:018013BD

"CaptureType"=dword:00000008

"ProfileName_0409"="GPS Photo"

or you can import with Resco the attached registry file.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] travegliaesogno:
Some friend tell me that they have on the registry the folder P9.

In this case you must only change the registry value Enable from 0 to 1
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] mhuhn:
That is awesome, great that this can be done via registry. Wonder why htc disabled it per default.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] victoradjei:
Yes. This is correct when the last ROM you updated from was the Dopod one.

While we are at this let me share my findings:

1. You can improve the camera pictures (at least if you uped. from dopod rom as I did) by going to the ext.rom with total commander and running the cab CP_061025_P800W_CamAgentCab.enus. The pic quality of the plain PDAMobiz rom is worse than the htc or real Dopod one, with a yellow hue :mad:

2. The radio rom is not updated, so it inherits that of last ROM before you went to the PDAMobiz one :cool:

Cheers:p
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] robboy:
anyone done this yet? im just about 2 try!
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] robboy:
It works!!!!! if you upload your pics to http://www.panoramio.com they will then create a kml file to view in google earth!

Cheers guys!!!
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] Realflo:
Yes, it works!

If you start the camera application,m you have to choose a different Profile in the left top of the screen.

Choose the Camera-sign with the cross, so the phone tries to get a GPS-Fix.

If the fix is established, you can make a photo.

But is the any other possibility to use the new information in Google Earth as panoramio?
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] robboy:
Im not sure what question your asking?
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] travegliaesogno:
I read the lat and long of the picture with an exif reader and use it in Google Map
