The Thanks Button...
Be generous in your thanks to Developers as well as your fellow community members that help out. We tech nuts are a vain group of individuals, and tend to be more productive when we know others appreciate our work. Taking less than 10 seconds to click that "Thanks" button is likened to a high-five, fist-bump, atta-boy...and if you're NOT homophobic, a good old baseball pat on the arse!
Are you jealous that someone has more thanks than you? Contribute! Very rarely is info sharing frowned upon! Found a killer app you just can't live without? Tell someone! Share the knowledge...it's what XDA is meant to be! It's grown from a small Development community, into a massive one...with SO effin much to share with lovers of various devices. The more that pitch in, the more we open up our devices for enjoyment!
XDA Thanks Button Introduction
Nice work! Can't wait to see this guide fill up!
I absolutely love that Motorola Photon combines to make "MoPho"... They honestly should have called it the MoPho
this Thread is a huge help! Thanks! I love having my new battery icon showing full percentages and its all cause your help
Can you add in the information from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204891
It deals with getting rid of the annoying camera shutter sound when taking pictures.
Please take the discussion elsewhere. Doesn't belong in this thread. Thank you.
Thanks Bandage for creating and updating this thread when new news comes out. I think this is a nice one stop shop for those that want answers to some quick fixes or known problems.
To change the stock web browser user agent string type: about:debug in the address bar them press go. The page will do nothing but immediately press menu|more|settings and scroll all the eay to the bottom and you will see the user agent menu. Change it to your personal preference.
Note: This change will revert back to the stock Android user agent upon reboot or force closing the web browser. Hopefully there will soon be a way to make the user agent setting remain permanent until manually changed again. Until then this is the only solution to get full web sites to open when the page doesn't have a "desktop version" link.
Bandage, can you add in the information from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1208751
It deals with an app to toggle 3G data on/off.

Not a relevant post for this thread and what answer do you expect in the photon forum? Given the ip5 isn't out, this isn't even a question.

Big thanks to Paul @ modaco and the XDA community.
This is a Desire (2.1 with Sense) for Nexus ROM. It is what I call barebones since I have removed most of HTC's bloat, ie Sense UI & Widgets. Why bother with the ROM then? Well, there are A few reasons I like the Desire ROM. A few being the copy/paste functionality, browser & social integration. It's a fast ROM with tons of RAM & memory to install apps. I hope you enjoy this ROM as much as I do.

lol Agreed
lols the reason he posted this early is because he wanted to hype himself up.
Hypeing something like this is a total drizzy / king move. And we all know how "great" those roms were. Trust me this rom won't blow you away.
And he wanted to hype everyone else up... I've always liked evil's hero roms for the mytouch. Can't wait to see what's in store. I bet it's gonna be off of froyo.

Actually, eViL's roms were always awesome on the MyTouch. One of the few devs we had before everybody started making them compatible on the G1 and MyTouch. You can't compare him to King. . . well. . . you can, but it wouldn't be a decent comparison as eViL puts out original products.
Wow, you guys are impatient. With people like this, it's a wonder why XDA exists.

I don't think we're impatient, we're just confused why you made a thread with nothing in it. You could have just waited until everything was ready to go to post the thread. It's not like there are only a limited amount of them available and they are going to run out...
I probably won't flash this rom, but at the very least, I found out that there is a battery percentage mod for desire roms. For this, I thank you.
Thanks
Lookin forward to the Rom EvilD:\ . Thanks for the heads up.
eViL looking forward to trying your rom...one request can you also add wireless tether please

It's not in this build. I'll put it in next release.
OT: You still a mod at DM?
I dont get people some times, give the guy a chance. Its not like you all have a bazillion roms to choose from and its cluttering up the pages of roms you're trying to choose from. I for one am glad another person has decided to try his hand at a nexus rom and if you would like to see more of them I would suggest a little more courtesy to the people that bring them to you.
Hi all,
based on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1865752
I'd like to ask, if somebody could create a MOD for this problem.
On the screenshot of the IPhone in this thread, you can see that Apple has already added such a function.
It's a pitty that Android doesn't have it!
Can somebody help? It's really annoying, that one can change a ringtone loudness with one click only
Thanks a lot.
Tim

Hi tjjensen23,
thanks for your answer - I tried this app, but I can't change into mute mode with this app

Hi,
I think the actions of the loudness buttons will be controlled through the classes.dex in android.policy.jar.
But what the right entry for changing the buttons from ringtone to music?.
Tim
Hi,
I found this here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21362669&postcount=2
It is exactly what I mean - but how I have I to use it?

-There are probably more small changes that I'm forgetting. I'll edit this post as they come to me.
-Sharkie405 for the base. See the stock ROM Change Logs for additional base ROM credits.
-dsixda for the kitchen.
-thicklizard for his Arc-Reactor kernel.
-Captain_Throwback for cooking advice.
-OMJ for his latest ROM that I used as my go to when I wasn't sure of the right way to do something.
-See the Change Logs for individual mod credit.
-I recommend doing a full/super wipe of some sort before your 1st flash of this ROM. Personally, I use Superwipe.
-You may wonder while the ROM is flashing, WTF is up with the terminal text being misaligned. Actually, it's not misaligned. I use a slightly modified version of TWRP 2.6.3 that, for some unknown reason, increases the font size in the terminal screen. It's bigger and easier to read. It's one that Captain_Throwback made. You can find this version in the 8th post of THIS thread. If you flash this ROM with Cap's version, it will all be perfectly centered like it should be. So, do me a favor and if you're not already using it, flash it and use it. It's better...
-ArcReactor v.44 kernel
-This ROM uses Arc-Reactor kernel v0.44 (max oc - 1.70) by thicklizard. This kernel includes sweep2xxxxxx features. If you've never used s2w, I highly advise you read that thread to familiarize yourself with that feature. Otherwise, your phone will be doing all types of crazy things and you won't know why.
If you want to change the sweep settings, go to /system/etc/init.d/00S2W and open it with a text editor. You will see this line:
echo '5' > /sys/android_touch/sweep2wake
You can change the '5' to whatever number gives you the sweep settings you want. '0' will turn them all off. You have to reboot to run the script again before your new settings will take effect. How do I know what sweep settings I want, you ask? This is why you need to read the 1st post of the Arc-Reactor thread. I plan on writing a script/s that will automatically change the settings, I just haven't gotten around to it yet cuz "5' is how I always keep it set. If I'm not mistaken, there are already scripts/apps that will change s2w settings or turn it on/off. I can't vouch for them though cuz I haven't used them.
Besides the fact that I think this kernel is bad ass, is the fact that ThickLizard is a great guy. He supports his work to the fullest and is always willing to help out anyone that has questions or problems. He represents what this should all be about and he knows his sh**.
This kernel runs great as is, in my opinion, but check out "Kernel Tuner" in the Play Store if you're interested in serious tweaking.-This ROM is built from the 3.16.651.3 OTA stock ROM at the bottom of this post (Sense 4+/JellyBean 4.1.1).
-ROM wipes data, system, cache and dalvik-cache.
-Posts to do with SharkieROM-LTE v2.5.1 start at post #325
- The 5x6 app drawer mod causes the icon text in 'add shortcuts to Home' to be cut off. It looks like that font size was never changed. I might look into it, but probably not. It's not at all a big deal to me.
- Let me know what you find...
Not all that important OP thoughts on this ROM...
This ROM is still basically a stock ROM with a few tweaks. If you were feeling my stock ROM then you'll probably enjoy this one as well. It's stable and fast, IMO. The only big tweak that I'd like to have and haven't quite figured out yet is EQS (Rosie landscape on/off and the Home Screen menu, primarily). The one in OMJ's mod pack causes settings and random sense widget force closes. Adding EQS is high on my to do list, but you gotta put it out at some point. There's always more to do.
There are a lot of apps in this ROM. It's got all the free apps that I like to have. It's my ROM after all. Be ready to remove some apps. I love not having to worry about space anymore with this phone and so I take full advantage of it.
I also only want to worry about 1 ROM. So I'm not going to make an odexed version. If you'd like an odexed version, use OMJ's tool to do so. IT'S SUPER EASY, trust me.
I also wanted to say thanks again to all those that support/supported my stock ROM. Since it's release it's had just shy of 2000 downloads total. I realize that's not a whole lot, but it was more than I ever expected a stock ROM to get, especially so late in the game. So THANK YOU.
Some v2.5 S-ON thoughts and my experience with S-ON flashing this ROM can be found HERE.

Sent from my kick ass EVO using Tapatalk 2
gonna need this for later.
What exactly are you guys confused about?
Is it because there is already a stock 3.16.651.36 ROM here at XDA? Yeah, I get that. Does that mean there can't be two? No. Maybe there's more than two. Who cares. There's room here for everyone's work. This is not kanged.
Is it because this is not a "custom" ROM? To make a "custom" ROM you need a base. A lot of people have used diestarbucks stock ROM as a base. I didn't want to do that. I wanted to start from scratch on my own. This stock ROM is not my end goal, it is just my base. But I used the tools and made it myself and to be honest, yes, I'm proud of that.
Is it because this ota was released a long time ago by phone standards? That's true, but I only got this phone a little over a month ago. So it's new to me and it's still the latest official update released.
Is it because the wallpaper says PPCGeeks? PPCGeeks has always been and always will be my "phone forum" home sweet home. Times are slow on that site these days so I figured I'd post this over here where more traffic is to see if I can get some more feedback. Plenty of ROMs are posted here with links to various other sites. I don't see the problem with that.
If you are genuinely confused about something, then say what it is. Otherwise, please refrain from cluttering this thread.
Re: [ROM] Stock 3.16.651.3 - Rooted
I think the more people that jump in , the better. Always good to see new people here. I don't use sense ever (about to give sense 5 a shot, though), but I think it's cool to see new people jumping in.

This ROM will be left as just a stock base. I don't plan on updating it at all unless someone points out a major bug.
I'm already working on my SharkieROM-LTE. I don't when I'll be at a point that I feel it's unique enough to post up as a custom ROM. I've still got a lot more learning to do. Thanks for stopping in

Sorry I haven't posted it yet. I've been really busy the past few days, sorry . I will post it for sure by Fri. if not sooner. There are several de-odexing programs you can use on the ROM if you want it sooner.

[DIRECTORY][☆ ★ 2/1/14 ☆ ★] Note3 Roms/Kernels/Recoveries/Mod/Themes/Guides&MORE
This thread's purpose is to provide easy access to all your favorite development projects available and plenty more on your Sprint Samsung Note 3 and probably most importantly, keep you updated with the latest updates and new releases! I will do my best to do my best to update the hyperlinks with the new release dates ASAP but regardless the links will still redirect you to whatever your looking for. But this isn't simply your average directory, this includes tweaks and more from all across XDA. I am the creator of a very similar thread for the Sprint Galaxy S4 and after quite a few PM's from individuals that switch over to the the Note 3, I decided I'd share the love and create a directory for our bigger cousins the Note 3!
I do not take any responsibility for whatever may happen to your device, your computer, your chair, or that little green android guy under your desk, doing god knows what, when flashing/using any of these. Everything that's found in the Sprint Note 3 forums is listed here and you shouldn't worry about anything bad happening using those, just ALWAYS read the directions carefully as there may be firmware/etc incompatibilities - even read through the thread, MAYBE (sarcasm), before asking a question that has already been asked or answered in the OP of whatever thread it is.
BUT many many universal android tweaks are listed here, be very careful using these and be EXTRA careful when reading as there is sometimes different steps/requirements for different types of devices. Be sure specifically the Sprint Note 3 is supported (which should but the occasional tweak package has a hiccup or two)! Due to the large amount of tweaks available, I personally have not been able to test every single one just yet, but I will give help to whomever needs it and verify what I myself have tried and used and my experiences with whatever it may be.
AGAIN... Please be sure to READ.. READ.. and READ again before you do anything to your device! I am not the developer of any of these delicious android goodies, so be responsible with your device. Happy flashing friends!

Share your creations easily either through uzip files or make apks and post on Google play. Or keep your unique widgets to yourself and tease others."
OnLive - "OnLive cloud gaming is a revolutionary new concept in video games that instantly delivers the latest top-tier high-performance games on demand through the Internet to your Android tablet or phone with the simplicity of streaming video."
Battery Calibration - "Calibration needs to be done after flashing a new ROM, but you can calibrate any time you think your battery is miscalibrated. This program does it by removing the batterystats.bin system file. The OS generates a new clean batterystats file soon, thus any fake information from the previous ROM is removed."
OfficeSuite Pro 7 - "Made by MobiSystems, OfficeSuite Pro allows you to view, create, edit, print and share Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint files on the go. You can also open attachments and see PDF files on an Android based phone or tablet with our feature-rich mobile office solution."

Swiftkey Keyboard - "THE MIND-READING KEYBOARD"
Deep Sleep Battery Saver - "Deepsleep battery saver constantly puts the device to deepsleep mode while screen off."
Greenify - "Greenify help you identify and put the misbehaving apps into hibernation when you are not using them, to stop them from lagging your device and leeching the battery, in an unique way! They can do nothing without explicit launch by you or other apps, while still preserving full functionality when running in foreground, similar to iOS apps!"
Titanium Backup - "You can backup, restore, freeze (with Pro) your apps + data + Market links. This includes all protected apps & system apps, plus external data on your SD card. You can do 0-click batch & scheduled backups. Backups will operate without closing any apps (with Pro). You can move any app (or app data) to/from the SD card. You can browse any app's data and even query the Market to see detailed information about the app."
Battery Stats Plus - "Battery Stats Plus detects and notifies battery draining apps. It collects and analyzes battery usage per app basic on your Android devices."
Some of my favorite games of ALL TIME on Android - going to reorganize this into categories and update this with many more games so keep a look out!

I'm actually just beginning to work on creating a sort of intro to android, rooting, flashing, kernels, etc, section on my original S4 thread for the same exact reason - once I get that sorted, I'll do the same for this one. You can check out my thread in my signature to see how much more in-depth this directory will get it once it get's rolling!

Just what we needed. I love these threads. They come in quite handy.
Thank you sir! Hopefully someone can sticky this. (I believe I caught all of the ones that could be thanked.)
[FWIW, Josh Beach has a subset of this in the dev forum.]

No worries man, anything for the community! I really like making these for two reasons - for easy access for everyone and to really help the XDA forums be much more condensed by eliminating the need for countless threads about the same topics with the use of this one thread.
Much appreciated. :thumbup: I'm a casual users with lots of experience (Been here since the Samsung i730), but not much time. Lots of people see my device, love it's customization and want to learn about the what they call "The other side" lol. Someone new to XDA will have a hard time even knowing where to start. You've put in work to make it simple and concise. I will point all my N3 users to this thread.

For you guys which is the best rom out there right now?
Hey guys
I dont really know much about roms but have the following requirements:
- Touchwiz/stock interface
- Circle battery mod
- Home button for torch on lock screen
- Stable and reliable rom with descent battery life
- Stock statusbar with customizable toggles
- NOT 100% required but possibility to customise rom to an extent
I guess chameleon rom would offer such an extent of customisation .. I have never used it... but its a aokp inspired based on sammy...btw wrong place to ask

Neatrom for example. Chameleon doesn't have stock interface. Next time please look in the development threads first before asking. It's not very hard to find these requirements.
This that you have just described is neatrom look it up in android development.
Mod Edit
"Best" or "Recommend" ROM/kernel threads are not allowed on XDA.
Please test these things for yourself.
This is the only way you will get an unbiased opinion,and then, you can decide for yourself if it meets YOUR needs.
Don't forget to make a nandroid before you start.
