[Q] Newb Question: Where to set Owner's Name? - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How do I set the Owner's Name on my Galaxy Tab P-1000?
On the standard Android Lockscreen, below the time display, there is a section "belongs to" followed by a couple of dashes. I would like to put my name there
My Firmware btw is MoDaCo Custom ROM r1 for Samsung Galaxy Tab (FROYO.XWJMI)

Bluetooth settinngs you can insert name of tablet

Thanks, but BT Settings lets you set the DEVICE name, not the OWNER name - and anyway, what I set there did not show up on the lock screen. So please, where can I set the owner name?

Add a New "My Places" Tab

How would I go about adding a new tab to TFL3D Like Telstra have done here. I have only seen the images and not the actual thing. So I am not sure how it works. But it looks pretty much like the Programs Tab, but using shortcuts to their branded web content instead of apps. I want to use it to set up various "3" Network shortcuts I use. Tried just duplicating the \manila\programfiles keys in the registry but no luck. I know - I am being naive Any suggestions on how to go about this.
Looks like this actually "IS" the Programs Tab only renamed to "my places"
Could be - but I am not convinced. It might also be a new tab. Will not know until Telstra release the phone I guess. Either way the tab has been renamed and moved from the stock position. I can see how to do the move part with Diamond TF3D config but the rename - dunno how they did that.

Renaming TF3D tabs

I used TF3D config to remove the Telstra "My Places" tab, and simultaneously moved it a few spaces over, and now the Programs tab, which was named "Favourites" is renamed to "IDS_Favorites"
If I unhide the My Places tab, the name is restored.
Is there anyway to rename the tab after I hide the My Places tab?
I've had the same problem...
Any answers?
I've also had this problem and have had a look in the manila file but I haven't got enough of an idea of what I'm looking for to rename.
The name label IDS_FAVOURITES matches the formatting of all the other labels that appear correctly in TF3D as does the rest of the code in the manila file. I can't understand why removal of the my_place.page means that the favourites tab gets displayed as IDS_FAVOURITES.
Sorry, I have no answers, just the same problem. I hope that someone out there with the Telstra ROM can fix this. I have no use for the tab and would love to get rid of it.

Customizing device name?

Is there any way to change the device name that shows up for instance when looking at the list of connected devices on my router? I want to set my phone's name to match the names I've given the rest of the devices on my network.

[Q] S Memo / S Note tempates

Two questions for the Galaxy Note experts:
1.) Where are the S Note & S Memo templates stored?
2.) Is it possible to create own S Memo and S Note templates?
I've looked and there doesn't seem to be any obvious (and easy) way of adding new templates - which seems a really strange oversight by Samsung.
Hopefully someone will be able to say how it can be done simply and I'm a pillock!
it looks like...

Creating a S-Note template form a PDF file
When I imported pdf files, I just started Snotes, the app, not a new note, and under the menu picked import. Choose the pdf file but if you get the box that asks what to use to open it, ignore it, click on the screen with your pdf, make sure the file is selected and choose done up at the top. you'll magically go back to the snote screen with your pdf document showing. In order to save it, you'll have to at least make a mark and then can erase it so the save option will be available. When it's the blank you'd like to save to use each time, you can name it and save it as it is. Just be careful that whenever you open it to start a new blank, you need to rename the changed document so it doesn't overwrite your blank form. If it's helpful, when you're ready to save the 'template' open the menu and choose set as shortcut. That will give you the fresh template on your home screen. I put several running notes on my home screen that way and a blank 'template' - an Snote the way I like it set up. Just be careful not to overwrite it as I've accidently done a few times. Now I have extra blank copies.
On the Note 10.1 Samsung added the "import-template-function" with the firmware-update 4.1.1
Maybe they'll update the N7000 too.

Set custom sms/email sounds on Samsung Ativ S

(I'm posting this in the Questions Forum because i have not enough posts to either create a topic in the Development and Hacking Forum or reply to the registry hacks-thread.
But since it's also somehow a question I hope it's ok in here.)
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Edit October 15th, 2013: With the GDR3-Update you get this feature built-in, so no more need to do this then!
Hi Folks,
while AlvinPhilemon found out a registry tweak to set custom sounds on the Samsung Ativ S (as explained in this post), it is not quite practical, since you can't see the sound in the list with the others, so you can't choose or switch them without always edit the registry.
I found another way to do this, and I think it's a bit more elegant (see attachment to have a look), although it only can change the sms, e-mail or mailbox sounds.
This is what you need:
1. Interop Unlock
2. Registry Editor (use SamWP8 Tools)
3. Full File System Access (use SamWP8 Tools)
4. Your Notification sound (I tried mp3-, wav- and wma-format, all worked)
This is how you do it:
1. On your PC, browse to your Phone\PROGRAMS\CommonFiles\Sounds\ and paste your new sound there.
2. To make it visible in your sounds selection list inside the Settings-app you have to create a registry entry: Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\OEM\Sounds\Notifications\ (This is the Samsung specific location for notifications; I tried the whole thing with the standard Microsoft sound location HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Sounds\Notifications\ but it didn't work). In this registry location you can see a list of the the existing Samsung notification sounds ("Knock.wma", "On time.wma" and "Whistle.wma") and how their name is displayed in the Settings-app ("Knock", "On time" and "Whistle").
3. Create a new key and set the Value to the name of your soundfile (for example "Silvestro.mp3"), the Type to String and the Data to the name how you want it to be displayed. There might be an error notification after writing, but just read the key to check you wrote it correctly.
4. Done! Go to the Settings-app and choose the newly created sound as message, mailbox, or e-mail-sound!
What do you think of this solution? Of course it would be nice to pack this feature in an app that first lets you choose a soundfile from the Public or SD-Folder, then copies it, then creates a registry entry and then also is able to delete those things an put everything back to normal, but since I'm just starting with C# there's no way I can do this myself. Anybody interested in trying?
Thanks for your comments!
Very nice work, and good tutorial. It would, indeed, be good to get an app to automate this. You would need ID_CAP_SOUND_CONTROL (may require full capability unlock); this capability should enable both the requisite file system and registry access.
It's a shame that is not available by default like on every other smart and dumb phone in the world. This is one of WP many short comings that MS refuses to address.
Thanks
Nice tuturial, thanks.
I am a satisfied galaxy s4 owner. Before this phone i had the htc 8x. I liked wp8 a lot, but unfortunally some essential apps (for me) where still missing. Beside the very good os, i also like all the default sounds. Thats where my question comes in.
I'm looking for the complete set of Windows phone 8 notification sounds. Is it possible to copy them from a wp8 phone and post them here? I would like to have the windows sounds in my galaxy.
Great news!
With the GDR3-update comes the feature to set custom sounds for Messages/Mailbox/Reminder!
So this is no longer needed...
more easy way
I just renamed my ringtone the same as the existing tone in the map \PROGRAMS\CommonFiles\Sounds\.
Then I renamed the original sound (I have put "old" in front of the original tekst.)
Now I copied the rington in the map \PROGRAMS\CommonFiles\Sounds\.
Choose the ringtone on your phone, and it plays your ringtone.
I converted the mp3 ringtone to wma. I didn't try if it plays mp3.
The name of the original ringtones doesn't match the name in the phone, but you can play them first on your pc, to see witch one to replace.
