Does anyone of you know how to toggle the softkey backlight on/off? Or is it possible anyway?
I know this is just a very unimportant feature, but it annoys me
Thank you for your answers!

On the Lumia 920, under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Touch\Buttons] there is a folder called Backlight which access is denied. This key is not present on the ATIV S so it varies

I'll take a closer look at that after work...
another question ^^
I've read your post
Found this in the ATIV S registry.
http://wap.samsungmobile.com/uaprof/GT-I8750.xml
It mentions LTE under supported bearers. But this is for the GT-I8750, not the SGH-T899M, which has LTE.
Very confusing. The ATIV S has an LTE chipset (My ATIV S' drivers are all MSM8960), but is LTE disabled by Samsung to cut costs by just using one motherboard and disabling LTE on one and enabling LTE on another?
WindowsPhone.com mentions that the GT-I8750 uses a MSM8960 chipset (LTE chipset), and I sincerely doubt that windowsphone.com would get the chipset wrong for a phone with its OS.
Conclusion: Samsung uses the same motherboard on both the SGH-T899M an GT-I8750 to cut costs and on the T899M, they flashed ROMs with LTE enabled and on the I8750, they flashed ROMs with LTE disabled. Similar to the Lumia 810, LTE can be disabled even though it has an LTE chipset. Kinda expected this from Samsung...

I'm not able to post there yet but got an idea...maybe it's possible to extract the necessary driver files from a SGH-T899M and import it to a GT-I8750 to make LTE work?
Due to full fs access this should theroetically possible, but I assume even if you could enable this key on the GT-I8750, there are more registry entries necessary to "link" this drivers...

Great. This could be done. It would be best if some one who does this could afford getting another ATIV S to test this out because this could potentially brick your phone.
The awesome thing about how this could be done is because all you have to do is compare each files with each other. I'll open a thread in the Development and Hacking forum

you guys went so off topic quickly?? anyone actually found the tweak for this?
It seems the Jail Break/Root is coming to Windows Phone 8 soon. It may free more features from wp8. Looking forward to it. :laugh:

For the moment, not too hope...
Yeah, the closest we have right now is the capability-unlock for Samsung phones. That's not a full root (working on it!) and beyond that, we have almost nothing.

Anyone find any new news on this so called "920 Unlock" that has been claimed it will be released soon ? If this is true, this could open the doors to most WP devices...
The only thing I saw was Ultrashot saying it was a Riffbox "hack" (meaning you'd need to have some special hardware and probably physically open up your phone, to do it).

its also unbelievably dodgy if you don't know what your doing.
You effectively connect directly to the ROM chip, an I mean that in a physical sense and rewrite any data you want, you can "root" anything doing this as you'll bypass any security measures, its just a matter of getting the correct software to flash on to the thing that's tricky, oh and the small matter cracking open your device, locating the chip, working out the necessary configurations to power it up and flash it
I did some research on this for the focus S and yes its possible but its way beyond my abilities

It's dispointing for sure....All I want is 3 rows of tiles and custom colors on my 928.... is this too much to ask ? (Not at Devs at Microsoft)...
Then get the ATIV Odyssey, which I just unlocked InteropUnlocked Sunday, except three tiles might be overkill on a 480x800 screen. O_0
I haven't updated to GDR3 yet because I'm not sure how to avoid Diagnosis' changes once I update.
It's been updated with a XAP...

any idea if it's any good or if we need an account to download it ?

If you are 8.1 user use custom wpsystem and customPFD
also you can use resource hacker of djamol after that . Using resource hacker is not maybe very safe for this time so wait for it
Note that djamol's hacks don't make a complete root, though they are the closest thing that is public right now for a Lumia like yours. Nobody's going to say anything about a full root until it's ready, and ideally not even then not until after a major update (to give the most possible time before MS <REDACTED>s us over with an update that takes away control of our personal devices again).
Is there any info about glance screen and double tab to wake for ativ S ?
After Lumia`s black update, i am wondering will we have any of those extras? Any news i didnt heard yet ?
And in Bulgaria in one precise gsm operator - VIVACOM wp8 has a horrible problem... When i call someone and on the second line someone call me durring a call, i dont see the name or number , i see unknown caller.
Nokia fixed that issue with their Black update, i wanna ask somebody familiar will samsung make an update to their devices also ?

The glance screen is no doubt working through some ROM extension, so the chances of it working on ATIV s is kinda small, unless samsung or some hacker makes a rom which supports it.
Well, if we get SYSTEM privs on the Ativ phones, we will be able to install drivers from other OEMs. That would be cool. Still working on it... sorry for the lack of progress, I have been too busy for much research the last month or so.

Glance and Double Tap-to-Wake are Nokia-specific features and have specific drivers to work, simply installing the app will NOT make it work.
I've been meaning to look into bringing glance to Interop-Unlocked devices, although I know it won't be easy. I'll research more about this somewhere this week.
Double tap is not even needed on the Ativ as we can wake the phone with the hardware Win-button.
Hey,
I`d like to unlock the bootloader of my Lumia 640 LTE, and eventually root it afterwards. (Maybe with WPInternals)
The problem is now: I haven't found any tutorials for this mobile. But it should be possible, because @djamol wrote that he had an unlocked Lumia 640...
Any tips into this?

most info i can find say theres no way to unlock it atm... djamol had stated that it was a slightly different method then WPInternals and stated it was unreleased atm which indicates its a private hack (or it might be not true... who knows) for the time being. unless someone else knows something that makes my statements invalid (with proof) or can add helpful info then its a wait and see at the moment im in the same boat to so don't feel bad lol.
Hello everyone
As i've had trouble lately to receive the bootloader unlock code from Huawei. I wrote them an email, and this was their response.
"Thank you for contacting Huawei Support UK and for the provided details.
In response to your enquiry, we would like to inform you that the unlock code application service has ended, as of July 25th 2018, to ensure user experience and safety. Moreover, unlocking the bootloader of a device voids the warranty and it wasn’t recommended since it was the source of multiple software issues due to unauthorized software modifications.
Huawei used to provide users with corresponding unlock codes to meet personalized requirements due to the usage of different ROMs, which is an extra service and does not belong to consumers' rights.
However, due to possible problems caused by unlocking your device (such as system built-in function failure, device freezing, and power consumption increase) we will no longer provide the code.
Should you have any further inquiries, please do not hesitate to contact us.
We wish you a nice day!"
So, as of now. The only way to get the bootloader unlock code, is to use dc-unlocker or any other software that can handle the task
Have a great day!

Yes. At least for now, and at least for Mate 10/Pro. Honor View 10 has problems getting unlock code, same with P20. So for future devices not even dc may work.
And Huawei might just remove unlock from fastboot all together, as its not really needed if you can't use it properly.

They actually removed the option to receive the code for all their devices, which is a shame. It's like they're trying to control its users, with the excuse that it can be unstable.
It's not they're call to make, in my opinion, AND they're even stating that it voids warranty. We know the risks of this, so please stop now Huawei

Yeah, I meant getting unlock code through dc. Honor View 10 L04 can't, some L09 users seem to have trouble as well. P20 can't at all (if I remember correctly). And future devices probably can't either.
Yeah, you got a warning when getting the unlock code from them that it voids warranty. You got a warning when using unlock code on device.
I will not get a Huawei device in the future if I can't unlock it

It states the price on their website.
But about 5 $
Just today I read about Huawei's succes which indicates they became top 2 seller all around the world surpassing Apple. We have been there when Samsung got it's hype and after that invented some bull**** called knox. So, maybe no need to give really significant credit to a company which is going to abuse it.
It's a shame that they have decided to go through this route. I fortunately got my bootloader unlock code for the Lite before it was too late, and I'm keeping it in two different locations, accessible online, until my warranty is over. That's how protective I am of the code. I certainly don't like that we'd have to rely on dc-unlocker's paid services to do what we were able to do for free.

For free? Sounds too good to be true, though make no mistake, I wish it's too good and true.
Update. As of BLA-C432B145+ you can't use DC/HCU to get unlock code. FW prior to this should be fine. However, downgrading seems to be no go either as B145 is now approved for installation in eRecovery (at least for me, was B137 a couple of weeks ago)
I'm not sure which build on other custs, but I guess you can check release date and compare.
If I can't root, I won't buy a phone. Huawei, I love your hardware, but if you stick by this decision it's goodbye for me when I next upgrade.
This decision Huawei made is completely sad, and irritating. They're decreasing the user made choixes, which should not happen. Android was build open, to advance user made choices and problems. If this stays. They're not worth my money anymore

Clarification: You can still downgrade using NoCheck recovery or HuRUpdater, but that requires an already unlocked bootloader.
I did downgrade yesterday to BLA-L29C432B142, and there you can still get unlock code using HCU.
FH can't downgrade either apparently, so Huawei probably added a check to eRecovery that prevents downgrading :/
Also, the backdoor that DC-phoenix/FH Rebrand tool uses is broken as well in B145 (I assume B145, I'm on B148 and here it's not working).
I was seconds away from pulling the trigger on a Mate 10 Pro. Then I saw this. No way will I ever buy a Hauwei now. So dumb.

Hcu-client. Its made by DC unlocker but supports newer phones. Newer firmware has closed the way they use to get unlock code though (may firmware or earlier will work, June works on some custs)
So it's possible to unlock the bootloader if new fresh mate 10 pro out of the box before update ? On alternative ROM's post, they say it's over like there is no alternative.
