[QUOTE=Protocol7;44123955]I just use custom ROMs that let me theme out 99% of TouchWiz's bullshit and we're good. And yeah, Samsung bends over backwards for carrier bloatware. Don't get me wrong, I like football, but I don't need a "NFL App Brought to you by Verizon" preinstalled on my phone, and even though it's literally illegal to restrict people from tethering on 4G, they still do it. I can't even USB tether my wireless connection on my phone to my laptop unless I get a custom ROM. Naturally wouldn't be a problem if I stopped buying shitty laptops that can't connect to the wireless, but still.[/QUOTE] I have no such restrictions on Verizon on my S4. Ever since the court ruling, they've let me use my phone for tethering without, well, tethers. The only limit now is my data cap.
I suppose it might just because Samsung has little incentive to support the Note 2 in these regards anymore. Ain't stop me none, though. I didn't buy Android so I could deal with stock manufacturer and carrier bullshit.
So me being that stupid dumbass I thought I should try to install chainfire3d. I got warned that I could softbrick the phone and I wanted to press on cancel which is usually the left button but fuck no it was the install button and now my phone is screwed. [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2336284"]I've tried using adb to fix it the way it's shown here[/URL] but it just won't work and I don't know what else to do now. Anything else I can do except for reflashing the stock rom? This is what I get when I try the things from the xda thread. [IMG]http://puu.sh/7iLzU.png[/IMG] [editline]4th March 2014[/editline] Maybe I'm just using an older version of adb and I don't know that. [editline]4th March 2014[/editline] So after playing around I finally made progress but it didn't do much because I apparently need permission to do anything. [editline]4th March 2014[/editline] I figured out that when I type in "su" after typing in "adb shell" that dollar sign won't turn into a hashtag like it does to most people. I have, well had, a rooted phone and it just doesn't work. I really hope I don't have to flash stock rom on it or else I need to stay awake all night just to get all the apps I need.
So I woke up today and my phone was dead, started charging it and saw this. Oh come on! [t]http://i.imgur.com/rzCZdR5.png[/t]
I may or may not be working on a tablet interface for the Steam app. [I]Let's say I were working on a tablet interface[/I], what would you like in it? It would still be the same app, it'd just change interface depending on screen size. [editline]4th March 2014[/editline] I also only have a Nexus 7 to test it, if anybody has a Nexus 10 and wants to help test the 10" interface, just ask.

[QUOTE=Plaster;44125106] [t]http://puu.sh/7iLzU.png[/t] [/QUOTE] One of those commands make no sense. The first thing you do is "adb shell", which is basically makes your command prompt window a terminal emulator for your Android device. The "su" command requests superuser. You probably got an SU prompt after this. The last command, "adb shell /system/lib/cf3d_uninstall.sh" makes no sense no sense whatsoever. You're telling your phone to send a command over the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) to the android device attached to your android phone. Try removing the "adb shell" bit and just running "/system/lib/cf3d_uninstall.sh".

In landscape of 7" or any orientation for 10", always show the sidebar.

I saw a brand new 32GB LG G2 for £310 and couldn't resist. Goodbye five hour lasting one x. [editline]4th March 2014[/editline] It's funny, those mobile recycling websites will only give me £60 for it but CeX gives me double that.

After you do "adb shell" then "su", try the "sh /system/lib/cf3d_uninstall.sh" , The extra "adb shell" is useless and probably fucking you up since there's no need to enter adb again.
Any way to remove Simlock from I9100 without paying tons of dosh?

I've read that that dollar sign should turn into an hashtag but it didn't so I just said screw it and factory wiped the phone. Sucks though, had a lot of good stuff on it but this is taking up too much time and I should be asleep since an hour because of this.
When I first got my Nexus 4, back when the Nexus 4 was released, I never got the typical "Welcome" email, telling you about your Nexus when you first sign into your phone. I randomly just got this email, I haven't switched ROM or anything. [t]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/20973870/n4g.png[/t]

The email itself doesn't even look that old, considering it mentions Kitkat.

Out curiosity, I looked to see what Welcome emails I had. It turns out I got a welcome to the Nexus One email. I never owned a Nexus One. Probably came from a leaked Froyo ROM. [img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/14575796/internetCaptures/nexusone.PNG[/img] Also they weren't nearly as flash back then.
I got an email like that about my Nexus 7 about 2 days after I first signed in on it.

[QUOTE=LordCrypto;44130415]i'm assuming i/o for this+google voice integration[/QUOTE] I wish Google would make an official Google Voice API so I can finally abandon Xposed/CyanogenMod... I have to use XVoice+/Voice+ to use my preferred SMS app with GVoice. The official GVoice app is slow as shit and doesn't have any of the nice features EvolveSMS or even the stock CM SMS app have. :F I kinda wish I had the time/internet/storage space/computing power (:v:) to compile my own ROM for my phone. Probably a CM/AOSP base with some cherry-picked features from PA (the nice quick settings rearrange thing, Hybrid when it comes around), OmniRom (The file manager that's built into 4.4's storage API is all I really want), and SlimKat (dat CardsUI based recents is sexy) and I'd be a happy person. I'd probably strip out most of CM's other various 'features' like Trebuchet, WhisperPush, profiles, etc. Seeing as it'd just be one big kang I wouldn't bother releasing it to people and I'd only update/recompile when I need it.
