[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Themes and Apps] rhricik447:
Been using Nova launcher on all my devices and am really happy with it. Nice smooth effects and lots of customization available. Liked it so much I paid for it. Active development on it.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Themes and Apps] pawpowered:
I have a question about that one for I've been thinking about installing it on my own Galaxy Note Pro because it looked like one a beginner with launchers can manage and not too heavy on resources - and it supports icon packs. Sorry if this 'should' be self-explanatory. :) The Nova website does not offer me even a FAQ, let alone a complete tutorial for beginners. I want to use my own wallpapers, not theirs and I don't want to be stuck with just a choice of ready-made themes. I just want to customize what I want where I want. Will the Nova launcher allow me to do this? I have spent the last 2 days with my search engines trying to get the answer to this one question, so I'm afraid to install any launcher at all until I know.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Themes and Apps] Rolldog:
Just install it and try it. You're not going to hurt anything, and if you decide you don't like it, then uninstall it and you'll be right back where you started. Using a 3rd party launcher doesn't do anything different except change the look and feel of your device. It's not going to mess anything up, if you don't like it you can uninstall it to go back exactly like it was previously, but be sure you go through all of the settings and mess around with it first. Look and see exactly what you can do differently. Don't just install a launcher like Nova, come to the first screen you see, and then decide you don't like it. It's kinda like taking a car for a test drive before buying it. There are tons of launchers available today, probably 10 times as many as 2 years ago. I've tried many of them. Some people like certain effects, some people like a minimalistic launcher, some people like tons of widgets, different icons, etc. Everyone likes their launcher for different reasons, but like I said, I've used many, I still try something new if I see it, but I've always gone back to Nova.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Themes and Apps] pawpowered:
Thanks for such an encouraging message. (just got told I reached my limit for the thanks button today) If an experienced and knowledgeable user comes back to Nova so consistently, I feel yet more confident about trying it. I don't suppose there's any point in asking you, since you know that launcher so well, if you were able to use your own wallpapers? Because you're not going to tell me! :laugh:

I really do have to get over being a chicken about this and dive in. It's too easy to get into real states of apprehension when I spend all my time by myself on this mountaintop and have such a vivid imagination for disasters and doom - well, alone except for my dogs and cats, who've been thinking me an idiot already for years and won't offer me any advice.

My internet connection in this least-populated county in the state isn't stable or fast enough to deal with widgets that need to update online. I like looking at them but I can't run them, same problem with news feeds. I have the stock weather and still end up checking it on my phone mostly since that is faster. System widgets only tell me what it would be little bother to go check on myself. I even wasted my money getting windowblinds on my PC because I never remembered to use it much. I put weird icons on document files so I can find them when my eyes blur on text titles late at night; it's never just for looks. I change colors to relieve my eyes when I'm staying up on the computer and tablet too long, like now. I do like to be able to find things easily and put them where they're handy for that's what I do in my house too, so I can reach for them in the dark and grab them without mishap. So that's what I'll shop for in a launcher: compulsively neat organization for doomer hermits who already spend too much time looking at a monitor. :)
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Themes and Apps] Rolldog:
Yes, you can use any wallpaper you wish.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Themes and Apps] pawpowered:
Thank you, dear. I installed Nova this morning. Now, I'd like to put another launcher on my Note 4, so I can learn about that one at the same time, perhaps something a bit lighter. Slowing down the operation of my phone could be considered more directly dangerous to my security out here than hanging up my tablet so I'll go for simpler there. Have you a recommendation? That CM Launcher advertises itself as 'light and fast' but it also comes laden with 'security apps' and cleaners that I'm not so sure I want to bother with. I don't do much online browsing with the phone, at least not for long and I don't use social media on it. I also never share my devices because there's nobody around for miles anyway. I'd rather a launcher just be a launcher.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Themes and Apps] Rolldog:
One Launcher that I like a lot, I use it on my phone but it won't work on my tablet because I use my tablet in landscape mode, is Buzz Launcher. Using this Launcher, you can go into their Buzz Launcher themes and download from about 500,000 different themes that other people have created. You can have as many as 9 different screens, all with different themes, and you can use their layout, their widgets and/or icons, and customize it to work with your apps. So, if you download a theme someone on the other side of the earth developed, you click on the icons they have, and if they used an app that you don't have, like if you use a different browser, the after you press on an icon, you can select the browser you use. This way, you can customize their entire themes to work with your specific phone and your specific apps. I change my themes fairly regularly, since it only takes a couple of minutes, and I feel like I have a different phone everyday.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Themes and Apps] pawpowered:
I wish I had seen your post before I got misled by all the complaining in the reviews for that one! In fact, they ought to be paying

you

to write about their app's features for you've done a much better job than they did at the playstore. There seemed to be an issue of things 'disappearing' for no good reason, themes and icons and such and people were annoyed after having spent hours to download them. Then, 'folder contents get changed every time the phone restarts.' And then there's the 'upsidedown heart butt' icon that apparently no one can get rid of that has caused some consternation, lol. Oh, and multiple 'crashes' too. As usual, few indeed even say what kind of phone they have. I'm inclined to try it anyway now, since you like it and I rather liked their community-based approach to begin with.

So, what I downloaded to the phone yesterday, just to check it out, was one I haven't seen mentioned yet, (maybe just because I don't know where to look) Microsoft's Arrow launcher. I won't mind the howls of laughter. Just plain curiosity, for I haven't tried any of their stuff for android. This is another one that will only work on my phone, not for tablets. I know how annoying they can be on PC's, like everyone else who spends a lot of time on one. They remind me of certain supermarkets that like to constantly rearrange things so that every time I go in, I can't find anything and we all know Microsoft plays the same game with every new OS. They don't really want us getting to know the guts of their systems too well, do they? I was interested in finding the launcher to be free, since their Office apps clearly are anything but and in seeing if they can build an android app that isn't a resource-hogging monster. We'll see.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Themes and Apps] Rolldog:
I've never used Arrow, but sometimes, it's necessary to go into a widget that has been designed and change the settings to customize it to your layout, your location, your calendars, etc, and I'm pretty sure the people who complain get frustrated because they can't figure out how to scale the widget, customize the information, change the icons, update the location, etc, and then they just give up. I usually try to save a couple of homepacks with widgets I like, and then I might try combining them into my own layout and custom icons too.

Getting recommendations isn't worth much, most of the time you have to try it out for yourself. For example, if you asked someone about a new movie that was just released because they just saw it, they might say it was horrible. You might go see it anyway, you find out it's scary, you love scary movies, the person who's advice you got hates scary movies, so it boils down to personal opinion.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Themes and Apps] pawpowered:
Rolldog, may I hear more about 'homepacks and widgets?' If you have a few widgets that you like, do you, and can you, generally keep them with most other launchers you try out? Something you said before, I think it was you, about, if I got tired of a new launcher, I could go right back to Touchwiz and find my widgets and layout just where I left them, stuck in my mind and has me wondering about that little detail: why wouldn't the widgets still be there anyway, no matter what launcher I used? I ought to know all that already but I've had some 'rural life' issues keeping me too busy to spend much time with my devices or even read about them online. But I sure did a lot of shopping on the playstore, paid apps too and pretties for Nova! I'll have to watch that; it's too easy to do when I have a card on file and my budget will suffer. :) I have managed to discover that the ads in 'free' apps were draining my resources much more than getting the widgets I would like so if I really want something, I support the developer and ditch the ads with the constant 'phoning home' they have to do.

That 'Next' launcher has some nice 3-D effects doesn't it? But it isn't cheap, I notice.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1sagain:
I am just plopping down this question because I wanted a more precise opinion between the devices:

1. GALAXY NOTE 4

2. SAMSUNG NOTE 10.1 (2014) Tablet

3. SAMSUNG NOTE PRO 12.1 tablet

---

Basically, I am more concerned about the S PEN.

I use the Note 4's s pen on a regular basis writing my journals and taking notes on many occasion's. You can say that the S pen has become an integral part of my daily writing routine.

I also enjoy making some art on the side and the Note 4 served great so far, but now I am turning my eyes back to the 2014 Note 10.1 tablet.

Can someone give me an opinion on how the S PEN is like on the note 10.1 tablet or note pro 12.1 in terms of writing (i hand write on the note 4, i rarely print) and drawing (fine lining, using different tools).

I am only concerned due to pressure sensitivities of the s Pen's (it seems like the note 4 is the newest, therefore, the most advanced out of them all?)

(I had a note 3 that had difficulty registering handwriting in a more fluid manner)

Thanks for any input or insight into this!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShrekOpher:
So I have a Note 12.2. It's not as easy to use the sPen on it. The tablet is huge, so holding it in one hand and wiring in the other isn't a great option. However if I have it in a stand, or sitting flay on a table it is great.

For the most part I use the tablet with keyboard and mouse as a remote access to my virtual desktop for work.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pierrekid:
I have be the note 4 and 10.1. Both s pens are great. I use them both equally and don't see a difference
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jazzmachine:
I also have a Note 10.1 (P607T but flashed xKat ROM for the P605 which is entirely compatible). I really like this tablet. If I were to describe it in a word, it would be: underrated. I actually prefer to write with the S-pen on it vs. my N4. At it's size, I find it quite a bit more comfortable to write on. On the Note 4, I sometimes feel a bit "cramped" writing and notice FAR more instances where I'm trying to "squeeze in" the end of a word whereas on the 10.1, writing feels much more natural and like I'm just writing on a sheet of paper. Also if you were wondering I find it to be pretty impressive write accurate word recognition, even when writing a bit sloppier than usual ;) Between the Note 10.1 and the Pro though, I'd personally get whichever was the better deal. However, if you're leaning towards the Pro 12.1 and it significantly more expensive, my advice would be that you'd likely be happier with the 10.1 and a fatter wad of cash in your pocket :good:
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkb218:
I guess I need to use a custom rom on my Note 10.1 [2014] because using the S Pen is terrible. I have to wait for the display to catch up to what I wrote.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwms:
I have the older 10.1 (GT-N8013), Note 2 and Note 4. While the 10.1 is eaisier to write on due to the size of it, the Note 4 s-pen seems much better at capturing handwriting.

The 12.1 pro looks nice simply due to the larger screen. I was considering buying one myself, but I only had a semester of school left and didn't think I would use it much after that.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jazzmachine:
Man, that sounds super annoying! Can I ask which variant you have? I traded in an old Samsung Tab 7 (which I didn't even use since I had already upgraded to a Note 8) and got a killer deal on my P607T from a T-mobile store. If you're looking for a good ROM perhaps I can help you out in finding one :)

In case you're unsure, P600 = wifi only, P605 = International LTE, and P607T = the T-mobile LTE "variant" (very close to just a rebranded P605, and entirely compatible with most P605 ROMS... some may require some minor tweaks prior to flash but I'm really not entirely sure of that because xKat is the only one I've used and easily flashed without a hitch).
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkb218:
P600 = wifi only.

And it's very annoying. I'll be looking at custom roms this weekend.
[Alcatel OneTouch Pop C7 Questions & Answers] Breezer28:
Hello all!

I'm having difficulty on how force OTU to upgrade my Alcatel POP C7 7041X because it says I already have the most recent firmware and it automatically closes the OTU (mobile upgrade S)

There is a way but it consists on modifying the "pro_info" by using a scatter file for the phone and SPFlashTool

BUT I am a complete noob in what concerns SPFlashTool so I need help!

My intention here is to create a step-by-step tutorial on how to restore the pop C7 back to factory stock SO, I need all of your help!!

Info:

I've got a 7041X-2BVDPT1 Portugal

It is rooted with Root Genius and has Carliv Touch Recovery installed with Mobile Uncle Tools.

I've made a full Nandroid backup with Carliv Touch Recovery. (backup also copied to PC)

I've made a backup of my IMEI with Mobile Uncle Tools. (backup also copied to PC)

I was given some files to download from a moderator in the GSMhosting Forum but I don't know if he would like me to mention his username nor if it is allowed to do this.....

Anyways, I need help with the steps on how to make this work with SP Flashtool...

List of files I have:

-SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1344.0.212.zip

-I also have SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1408.00.rar

-pro_info_7041X-2BVDPT1.rar

-pro_info_7041X-2ARGCH1.rar

-OTU (Mobile Upgrade S 4.2.3) for the last step of downloading factory stock ROM

Procedure:

-Extract SPFlashTool;

-Extract pro_info_7041X-2BVDPT1.rar to one folder (should contain both files in that folder: Scatter and pro_info);

-Open SPFT_tool (Run as Administrator);

-Load Scatter;

What should be the next steps to properly replace the pro_info???

Thanks in advance!

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palmboy5:
I've read that the act of flashing anything unsigned (like a custom recovery) will cause KNOX to be disabled. I suppose I won't miss it, but what other penalties will occur?

There is no way to re-enable KNOX once it's disabled, correct?

Ultimately the question is: If I install a custom recovery and root the phone, can I restore it to the point that if I sent it back to Samsung, they would think that it was always pure stock?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bloodrain954:
You can't use Samsung Pay.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MJFox78:
no, the efuse burns as soon as you flash something unsigned, there's no way to reverse that by software
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shollywood:
My understanding is that if you ship back to Samsung, wether Knox tripped or not, depending on your issue, your warranty is still good. Just make sure stock rom on it when you send it in. Knox isn't an anti warranty measure. It's in place for the corporate world to maintain control of company owned devices.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Depressed T.Bear:
As far as I know, Samsung won't repair your S6 when it was rooted. The burned eFuse-Chip is in fact a hardware damage caused by rooting from the user --> no more warranty by Samsung! You can check that in several reports online, in magazins and even at Samsung ;)

So rooting your S6 means the loss of warranty (no matter what's the reason why you'll send it in), no KNOX and no Samsung Pay.

That's why I won't buy this phone, even though I love its specs and look. :cyclops:

EDIT: Just got the official answer from Samsung Support: Rooting your S6 will blow the eFuse-Chip and if it does, it's a hardware dmg caused by the user through rooting. That means NO warranty, even if your f.e. volume rockers refuse to work within the two years ;)

I still have the mail in my inbox for those who doubt it (german language / official Samsung Support)
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timrichardson:
Your mileage may vary. In Australia this is not true. Firstly, the retailer is responsible for warranty not the manufacturer. Secondly if the is no connection between rooting and damage it is irrelevant. I got a no questions warrany swap on a rooted htc one for a microphone failure and returned a rooted s5 for a tradein to an s6. Both were contract phones via an Australian carrier. I imagine the situation is similar in the uk.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SammyTRK:
I am curious about this too. I haven't rooted my s6 just in case something malfunctions. Anyone have experience having a faulty rooted phone replaced or repaired?

I have the tmobile jump plan with insurance. If I destroy my phone I can get it replaced for $175 rooted or not.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Depressed T.Bear:
In germany the retailer is also responsible for warranty. But, in any case, they send the "damaged" phone to a repair station licenced by samsung. And they check by default

before

the repair, if the device has been rooted or not. If this is the case, they refuse the repair. And here the trouble begins.

Exactly for this case, I asked the official Samsung support. A modification to the Software (root), means a complete loss of guarantee/warranty. Even for hardware parts or other problems, which are in no way related to the rooting (e.g. volume buttons, Home button, power button etc. ).

The destroyed eFuse-chip serves Samsung, as unequivocal proof of rooting (after it has been possible "in the past", to hide a previous root (-> TriangleAway)). Samsung has clarified this now unmistakably.

Sadly that is the reason why I will no longer buy any smartphone from Samsung. No matter how good the hard- or software will be. :(
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxal:
I would like to add, I am member on the Tab S forum and there is a couple story's on that forum of people that had rooted their tablets had a problem which resulted in them sending them for repair under warranty which were all fixed under warranty.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Depressed T.Bear:
And did they restore the flashcounter/unroot their devices before? ;)

Under the bottom line: The "risk" (if any, samsung stated very clear xD) of having a rooted, somehow dmged S6 and the (very high) chance that there won't be a repair (by samsung/retailer), is to high for me.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxal:
They flashed a stock rom using Odin before sending of for repair.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Dennis_:
This is location dependent. In the USA your warranty is still valid unless the company can prove your actions caused the problem. So you could sue Samsung if they refused. This is especially true if it is a common issue.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thorvindr:
Googling and searching this website have yielded nothing useful so I figured I'd ask:

Has anyone yet been able to unlock the bootloader on the sm-t807a (the AT&T model of the 805)?

Thanks in advance. I'm just itching debloat this sucker and see what it can really do.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
Not yet.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thorvindr:
Okay; further query. Does the locked bootloader just mean I'll trip knox if I flash a custom ROM or otherwise acquire root or is it more insidious than that? Because I'll trade my warranty for root any day of the week. Is there absolutely nothing I can do? I can live with just root and not being able to use a custom ROM but I don't know how long I can run this thing without xposed before I lose my mind.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
Locked bootloader means nothing will flash unless it stock and signed. There's chance of a brick and/ or end up with Knox tripped just for the he'll of of it.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geraldleach2:
Has anyone gained any ground on the T-807A as far as unlocking the bootloader. All I can get into is Odin Mode. Is there a fastboot mode? I have two tablets that are locked up and unbootable because of unapproved software. (TWRPn recovery on both occasions)​

i have used the micro SD card to install Copilot and although the installation was done to the phone rather than the storage card it still requires the storage card to run.

Is there a way around this and run copilot without having the micro sd card in as i want to be able to have CoPilot and also get a new micro sd to store music etc on.

Thanks,

Expplore the co-pilot card on your pc. You will see 2 files:

Copy them onto your desktop.

Now open your 'blank' micro sd card on your pc.

Drag the 2 files onto your blank card.
