[One (M8) Themes and Apps] Mr Hofs:
Not sure how you get to the "stupid questions" part........

I read very well "theme" and NOT "os" ! And still it stands. A theme flashes files to the phone and obviously these are very different ! Theme files are adapted framework and apps files. Even themes on the M8 are not all interchangeable because of different modded framework files between different roms.

So its still a very big no :)
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] PhoenixPath:
How about a little help:

There are TW launcher port out there which will get you close. You won't have the settings menu or the notification toggles from TW, but should be able to get the launcher/widgets.

This one was from the S4: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2699660

I've seen mention of an S5 launcher port as well.

Failing that, there are CM themes galore for any OEM skin you'd like if you happen to be running a theme-able version of CyangenMod.

Neither of these will get you to the "Samsung Touchwiz" interface, but either will get you reasonably close for the device not being a Samsung device.

Hope that helps.
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] tele_jas:
There's several different launchers on the PlayStore that can make your M8 look and feel like a Samsung phone. You can also look in the "Apps & Games" section: http://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games - I see ports there quite frequently.
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] Gunman84:
It's easy! Sell your M8, and go buy yourself a Samsung phone.:laugh: You dont understand HTC Sense? :confused::cyclops: Now that is weird.:eek: Htc Sense is very close to stock android, and very easy to use.

Haha true :D .
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] badboy47:
I understand how you feel. I once got used to touchwiz look and feel and it was hard for me to move on to a new framework. I now feel the same way with sense. I am so used to it now.

Anyway, one way is converting to gpe and trying cm Roms where you can have Samsung theme.

Not sure what you are trying to achieve with your post. At the end of day it matter what the users not if its horrendous or not. Please be friendly if not you can always ignore posting.
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] deviatesaw:
Merely stating that it is of my opinion that Touchwizz is horrendous. That it's a horrible mess thats difficult to navigate and unpleasing to the eye. I didn't realise opinions had to be repressed. Or is free speech a bad thing? Especially since I did not "attack" a individual the only people who should take offence are the designers at Samsung. If you like it then bully for you we all have different tastes.
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] badboy47:
Stating opinion is one thing but derailing a thread with your off topic opinion doesn't make sense. Op clearly asked if there is away to use Samsung theme on m8. He didn't ask for you beloved opinion if touchwiz is horrendous or not. You are not helping man just move along.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Marek Pavelec:
I am interested in buying a HTC device (Herald or Vox). They are both very nice, thin, good parameters, keyboards, WiFi, Dimensions (VOX), touchscreen (HERALD).

THE ONLY THING that makes me sad are the ICONS! :mad:

(Icons in the main menu)

I do not know why, but in the DIAGONALS, the lines are "made of stairs" (they are not straight = smooth)

HTC VOX WM6 MENU vs. NOKIA SYMBIAN MENU:

HTC VOX:

NOKIA:

Just look at the "settings" icon of HTC!

IS IT POSSIBLE TO CHANGE ICONS IN THIS MAIN MENU? For example download a patch, that replaces them, or is it possible to use any pictures as icons? OR THEY JUST CAN NOT BE SMOOTHER, because of ONLY 65000 colours?

THANKS... ;)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] levenum:
Actually they do look smoother on the device because the pixels are much smaller than in the image you linked.

Any way, those are just shortcuts, just like on a PC and you can use any icon for them (as long as it is in the ico format or part of DLL / EXE).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Marek Pavelec:
ANYWAY

But the icons ARE smooth in the Symbian menu (on the PC too). :mad:

I am afraid that any "ico", displayed on HTC will be this bad, because of ONLY 65000 colours. :( Or am I wrong? :confused:

Are there any WM icons to download on internet?

And what resolution should they be max?

THANX
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] levenum:
I am fairly sure this is not a color issue. The amount of colors is a physical property of the LCD display which is the same for WM and Symbian devices.

The menu in question uses 32x32 icons and as for whether any WM specific (there is no actual difference between desktop and WM icons) are available for download the only answer I can give is google.com
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hanmin:
There will be some differences in terms of display, which may or may not affected by the 64K limitation. I've compared the display on a Nokia Symbian and my PPC, and it does seems very different, in terms of the images displayed (comparing pictures, not program icons). From what it seems, it is like the colour from the Symbian is much more lifely than of what you get from the PPC. I've ask my bro to look at the difference, and he said it is probably the screen protector (a rather bad one that I've been using that time), but still, Nokia's symbian screens still dazzle me (although I dont really like symbian's icon display, which is way too fancy). Anyway, I do see the differences, can anyone confirm this? I'm wondering if it is of a touchscreen problem or not.

I'm not too sure if thats the 64K issues. From the technical perspective, the 64K will only gives you a problem on a multi-tone colour screen. For example, if you get a 4 and 16 mono screen, a black to white tone/spectrum picture, from left to right, will give you a 4 distinct colour blocks, while 16 will give you 16 colour blocks. So, a 64K mono will give you 64K blocks which may gives you a virtually smooth black-to-white tone. Same concept goes to coloured screen.

ANYWAY, as for the PPC icons, I think it is much to do with the way the system display the icons. If you are familiar with GIF images, you will know that it is almost impossible to have a transparent background with smooth edges. In order to have smooth edges, you will have to know your background and create a in-the-middle colour for it. And, for some reason, PPC (Windows) doesnt do that other than for its Clear-Font feature. On the brightside of it, it seems that the Symbian display doesn't have this Clear-Font features which makes words displayed to be jagged on diagonal lines (e.g. compare the letter "Y" in both display)

ANYWAY, as mentioned above, as the screen is that small, those little things are seriously difficult to notice. As a matter of fact, I personally, prefer not to use Clear-Font as it seems to make my vision .. blurred :D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] levenum:
hanmin, the effect you are talking about is called "alpha blending" - partial transparency is achieved by multiplying image and background pixel values by a coefficient, adding them up and dividing by max pixel value (I actually implemented a simplified version of this a while back).

Unfortunately, the ico file format which is basically a BMP with multiple images and transparency mask does not support the alpha component so it is fully transparent or not at all.

I have no idea about Symbian icon formats.

As for different LCDs - I have encountered this: on certain PND models like MIO C510 the colors seem less vivid, like an old faded paper compared to say the Excalibur. This could be the result of different LCD quality or simply different interpretation of the signals.

It should be noted though that such difference can not be seen in a screenshot as it captures the image data and will be displayed according to the settings of the screen of whatever system it is viewed on.

I've searched everywhere on how to do this but can't find anything -- When your screen is off and you get a text the screen turns on...Where is the setting to turn this off??? My notification LED is enough for me to know I have a message, don't need my screen always turning on.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jda2631:
I don't have my edge yet, in the mail :( so I can't tell you on the stock messenger app, but on my current phone i use the app Textra (which is great, I highly recommend trying it out) and in the notification settings there is an option specifically for this. Can set it to turn the screen on when receiving a text or leaving it off. there is also an option to turn the screen on except when the phone is set to silent.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lancerz:
I just posted this same question, I've turned off the setting in the message app to "turn off pop up display" but the screen still turns on with a pop up message...I don't know what's going on lol.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stretchwookie:
I've been through the settings a dozen times. There doesn't seem to be a way to stop this from happening on stock messenger. I can confirm that using a 3rd party (I use go sms) stops it from happening once you set it as default messenger.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jer21:
Yeah. I ended up getting Textra before you posted this - liking the customizable options so far. I've always used GoSMS in the past and Hangouts but this one is a bit cleaner.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshrbux:
Double confirming this. With Samsung's Messages app the screen turns on for me, as it did when I had the S3, though it's more bearable now that I can unlock the S6 with my fingerprint. Using Verizon's Message+ screen does not turn on. This is really the only strike against Messages for me. Message+ is a little more sophisticated, but not as clean looking. I think I still prefer Messages because it's cleaner and I like the vibration notification better (two short bursts instead of one long). Again, the screen turning on isn't a deal breaker for me because the phone stays locked without my fingerprint.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] our6kids2011:
solution

This issue is because Samsung put in their own text messenger called messages rather than using the Google made one called messenger while using the same icon. You can download the original messenger off of the Google Play Store just search messenger and look for the one by Google. Once you switch to the one by Google that should not turn your screen on anymore, you may have to change a setting to make it that way. Since I installed it haven't had the issue at all.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
go on to notification settings, scroll to messages, turn off allow notifications.

then go on messages app. click more then settings then notifications and turn the setting off.

the screen will no longer light up when you get a message.

the LED will flash though so you know. also if you use nova you can set the badge app notification so it will show when you receive a message but again the screen will stay off.

I have a galaxy s3 and it doesn't charge nor open. This first happened last April 10, 2015. The situation was me trying to charge my phone and when i plug the charging port in the dock, it doesn't show any sign like a charging sign or any changes on the battery. I tried to shut the phone down and tried to charge but still there was no change. I searched for solutions to this problem and so I found this solution where you should Remove battery and press power button to drain the capacitors. I did the procedure and finally opened my phone! It also charges and it was somehow a big relief. The following night, i tried to charge my phone again and it wont open and i turned the phone off and tried to do the same procedure but there was no change until now. I still can't open it.

For BL unblocking, try to follow the tutorial by searching S6 unblock bootloader?

I could not send link to you directly.

Hope it could help.:)
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alarand:
There's no unofficial (as in not via samsung) way to unlock the bootloader. If it were to be done, it would have to be through Samsung/the carrier you bought it from, which is highly unlikely seen as unlocking bootloaders isn't something samsung is known to do or advocate in any shape or form. Pretty much, it's locked permanently or it's unlocked. If they sold it as bootloader unlocked, you would have to take it up with the seller. And make sure it wasn't sold as "SIM unlocked" because that's a completely different thing obviously.

To give some context, for the galaxy S5 there was an almost $20,000 reward for finding a bootloader unlock. Link here. The best that could be achieved was root, and that was pretty difficult iirc. The Galaxy S4 had a security key that was estimated wouldn't be cracked until 2030, the only way around that was exploiting the security chain in the S4 boot. This wasn't possible on the S5 and, I would bet, isn't going to be possible on the S6
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] casper1:
The model sold is exactly indicating G9200 in About Phone, yes it is a zero at the last digit.

The G920X is a dual sim model which should be the same as G9200. I dont why it has different serious for same model selling.

From some of articles, lastest CROM service could unblock the S6 BL.

Just a warmly reminder, unblock BL would lose the warrenty afterwards.

Are you aware of this impact since you just bought a couple days ago.

If you do want to unblock the device without concern, could you kindly do me a favour for some verification on CDMA. Many thanks!:good:
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] casper1:

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superobk:
I send a SMS for the unblock and root information of AT&T G920T and G925T.

It is found that there has a unblock bootloader version for SM-G9200. Please search within the website.

As per searching in the internet, SM-G9200 has China and Hong Kong version, both of them are using the same serious. Not so sure, some guys claime they are the same hardware and capability.

But the tricky thing is the China one support CDMA/CDMA2000 ( with 7 mode), however, the Hong Kong one (with 5 mode) does not, which indicates the HK block the baseband function for CDMA.

Therefore, that is the reason why I ask for the favor to flash the China baseband firmware on you HK device.:)

Bootloader Locked - Unlocked - Root fail - Bricked and Unbricked

Hi everybody,

I followed this thread and used the S6-CDROM.apk to unlock the bootloader. It said "you can now install a custom rom". So I downloaded Odin and the respective files from "autoroot.chainfire" and tried to root my phone. Odin said "Success" but the phone was stuck at the boot screen with a message "Recovery mode not enforced" (or similar, sorry can't remember), and the phone hung completely. Fortunately I had installed "Smart Switch" from Samsung on my notebook and the "emergency reinitialization" worked and all my data and apps are still there.

For the time being I am done with root.

Keep up the good work guys!
