[Q] Notification Drawer Toggling of Mobile Data/Sync

I've seen on the xda forums that some people have 'extra' toggling buttons at the top of their notification drawer(hope it's the correct term, 1st three months as Android OS user), My friend's S3 has them by default too, does the Note have it? or is there a need for root/custom launcher; since S3 has a newer rev of the Touchwiz Launcher. If possible, i would like to avoid rooting!
What the phone currently has, from stock is just 5 buttons at the top, which are Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, Profile, Screen Rotation, Power Saving.
Wish to add: Mobile Data toggle/ Sync toggle (dunno if there's any more available)

something like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=1620625

^yeap, that's it. but i have a query, it's my first time with an android phone, barely used for 4 months.
i don't get wat's flashing with CWM; does that require root? what exactly is CWM, apart from the full name?
does flashing that mod = voiding my warranty like what rooting does?

Bump. Anyone knows why the note doesn't have it o.o

You can use some app from playstore for extra toggles if you do not want to root but flashing this mod requires root and cwm.
If you are rooted, you can have 15 toggles without having cwm, here is a small guide- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30668303

To root your phone,you could simply flash a safe rooted kernel like Odin version hydracore through ODIN.
You will get yellow triangle and increased counter.But you can reset it easily with triangle away app by chain fire.A simple search would bring it up....

Thanks for the above confirmations/help provided.
One last query, how do I backup my current settings? I suppose the sequence is root, backup and then apply mod?

Bump!
Question in my above post in unanswered :x
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2

when u root and apply a safe kernel like hydracore or speedmod.. u will get cwm thru which u can backup the ROM using the nandroid backup feature.

The best start is to get Rooted first.. then install the 15 toggles you want.. search threads and you will find a lot with different shapes and themes

change dpi of apps on stock ics

Is there a way to change the dpi and layout (tablet or phone) for individual apps on rooted ICS stock?

if it is allowed in. Paranoid, then there is a way to do.
Do you agree with me?

[Q] Reduced S-Pen writing and reading capabilities

After buying N7000, I was able to write with the S-Pen everything including punctuation marks and symbols like @, etc. I could also zoom text on the browser, changed to landscape position and the text would re-wrap to fit in the screen. This last thing disappeared after the next updates.
After the very last update of Android (weeks after ICS) IMM76D.XXLRT, I no longer could write punctuation marks at all. I now need to resort to the keyboard every time I need a dot or a comma. Google Voice does no longer recognise the commands for the punctuation. So I wonder how could I get all these remarkable features back without buying the new N710x? Or is there a way to revert to the first ICS update we had for Note I?
If Samsung does not release adaptations of TouchWiz to every new Android version I fear nobody is going to buy a Note 3.

That is for non rooted. Don't need to be rooted to flash stock roms.

@ SpyderTracks, Just to be sure, do you refer to 'India DDLR9 - Installation + Root + Mods', right?

Any of the stock roms, including all gb roms. Mods if you like but then you have to be rooted.

Thank you for the clarification!

Can You Answer My Questions About Changing DPI?

Can only roms change DPI, or can this be done through the kernel as well?
Does increasing DPI make for a slower rom? Seems to be that increasing resolution would put more strain on the CPU/chip ... no?
Which DPI increasing rom would you recommend?
All responses appreciated!

Dpi is changed by editing the build. Prop file which is basically an ini file. It doesn't make any impact on rom speed, but some roms such as ics stock do not support <213 (tablet mode). It has nothing to do with kernel. You need to be rooted to adjust build. Prop.
If you're on stock, try 240 to start, quite nice. There are some Touchwizz apps that need adjusting for lower dpi such as dialler and launcher pages.

I'm currently on stock ICS, rooted, running speedmod kernel. I'll look into editing the Prop file. Thanks!

It's in root/system
Save a backup just in case, use root explorer

Well I took the lazy way and downloaded a DPI changer from the market, and ... it froze my phone at the loading screen. Nice. Had to revert to nandroid backup.
Any idea why changing DPI would freeze my phone?

Rom Toolbox is the only app for changing DPI successfully. All others will leave you in bootloops.

I think it's best you edit the file yourself and not an app... It happened to mee too a few times while using an app. Never had a freeze by editing the file it self.
but the market do give problems for me... can't download lots of apps or updates. If something know a way to fix it for good pls say so... couldn't find something that worked for me.

240. But from reading this thread and others I see that using DPI changers from the market is a bad idea. Lots of boot loops. Why the hell they would have the apks on the market in the first place if they don't work (and could lock your phone if you have no backup) is a mystery to me.
Oh well. I will take your advice and the advice of many here and try it manually.
EDIT: Okay. Used Root Explorer and changed DPI to 240 myself. Booted fine. But I can't really say I can see that much of a difference ... think I'll try going just a bit lower.

Use density changer from Play. No bootloops, Play Store is fine. Running ICS stock here. https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5tYXJ1dGlhbi5kcGljaGFuZ2VyIl0.

To root or not to root!

Ok so i just go the galaxy gear i have already been doing alot of research on the watch. I have been debating if i should root it or not cause NULL rom looks really good for what i want to do with it..
Can some one help me find a way to back up the gear if i decided down the road to go completely back to stock?
has any one had any problems running NULL?
would you recommend doing it?
And where is the best guide to follow?

Very easy, it does require you to root the device. Once rooted, download TWRP for Galaxy Gear and flash it using ODIN. There, you can create a backup of your rooted stock firmware.
Another thing you can do is download the official firmware from this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2463743), and then flash that using ODIN, that will return you to 100% stock without root.
Good luck, I'm having tons of fun modifying my Gear, been able to increase the volume on it during calls.

Great post mate any chance you can talk us through the in call volume mod you used? Tia

I'm still trying to decide myself. I don't wanna lose any of the watch functions though if I flash null
Update : I think I will try null when I get home. Seems there's some work around for missing function like double tap for setting. Can't wait.

I might create a thread later on today if my account allows me to. It's the same concept as the Galaxy S3 and Note 2 of modifying the Default_gain.config file in the root files. Found in "/system/etc/" folder.

I got root access but stopped there....all my devices bar my note 2(for G Gear reasons) are rooted with custom ROMs but I'm not sure if I should install Null or leave as is...I guess it is a question of opinions but is it worth doing? What are the top things you can now do that were not possible before, which are also worth doing/practical on a wearable? Thanks for any responses....I need reasons to go the next step!!!

I didn't like the rom personally. I couldn't use the Internet because my phone don't have bluetooth Internet or whatever that option is. The dial pad for Nova is all bunched together making the call button untouchable. So for me it's pretty much useless

I think the rom is like something you'd use on a phone. Gives you a notification bar. Internet (if have a way to use it) playstore. Both Nova and touchwiz launchers.

I was on the fence about rooting at first, but I jumped and flashed null. Let me tell you I am so glad I did. Battery life and more options is great! And knowing it is super easy to go back to stock is awesome. Although I don't see a reason to. Null with free fall theme is the way to go.
