Well, the title of the post says it all
1 - Is there a cydia app like for android? Or all of the tweaks and stuff are only on the web and on Market (Google Play)?
2 - Is there a way to show my company carrier logo on the statusbar?
3 - Can I, through any method, change the display app name, in appgrid? Not in homescreen.
4 - Why if I dial *#7465625# nothing shows up? Depends of the ROM?
5 - Any way to have a better adjustement of the volume without depending on apps like Fime Volume Control?
6 - Any way to make the brightness minimum lower without depening on apps like ScreenDim?
7 - Any way to put a youtube video in video popup mode?
8 - Is there a tweak to put internal storage in mass storage mode? I know the one for external.
9 - How can I have a total control of the background app? I have tried advanced task manager, but as soon as I kill one process, for example Brower, it comes back itself within seconds. How can I control autostars of apps?
10 - Can I remap the buttons? For example, for a customize action when I long press the home button.
11 - How do the themes and mods work? On the iPhone the themes were images in folders, and the system images were in certains paths, so if I wanted to change something I just needed the correct path, even to make my custom images. How does all that work on android?
12 - How do I customize keyboards? Just installing new ones? Is that the only way?
Before answer me, please note, I am NOT a total noob, I perfectly know what root is, just like I know stock, CWM, and all of that. I have a custom ROM. I know about the system, I'm just new to it and because of that I dont' know where certains things are.
Thanks and sorry if anything is bad written, but english is no my native language.

Bumping is against the rules .
But using the search is not .

I'm going to try and answer your questions as much as I can.
1. Since each phone has its own specific mods and utlities there is no "universal app" like Google Play or Cydia. However there are a few apps for SGS3 like the Omega kitchen Files app (Play Store) and Kitchen Pro app which is locked to CheckRom.
2. This might be what you are looking for. https : //play .google. com/store/apps/details?id=com.infonetservice.phono
3.https : / /play. google. com/store/apps/details?id=com.guardam.AppNameEditor&hl=en App Name Editor on Play Store.
4. AFAIK some ROMs remove that "utlity"
5. AFAIK no but lets see what someone else has to say.
6. Same as 5
7. You could use a youtube downloader. There are plenty in Play store. I dont know of any other way.
Google and XDA have a ton of anwers if you search. This is not kindergarten
I'm terribly sorry about the bumping. I won't happen again. But then, how are people going to see my post if it goes under page 2 or 3?
Greatnesss, you have give me solutions for questions 1, 2, 3 and 4. Thanks very much.
About questions 5 and 6, let's wait for others and see.. I have seen something about the volume in this forum, some mod, but it was tooo complicated. I even tried it, but with no result.
About question 7, I mean to watch youtube in popup video, but live, not to download the video first (I like to watch long duration videos and sometimes I want to put them in an external mini-window to browse something at the same time, for example).
I still have no answers to questions 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12. Sorry, I forgot to number them :S
Thanks to all. You have help me a lot.

If someone asks you for directions, do you tell them to use a map? This is the Q&A section for a reason.

There are those who want to be spoonfed. I don`t do that if they don`t do anything to find an answer, also rule #1 XDA Search Google and XDA before posting a question!
Believe me, I have search with no luck. Maybe I don't know the keywords or something. I had been looking for a week for an app or something to change app names with no result. Maybe I am an idiot, really, but believe me, I had like 100 questions and now I only had a few. A few I coulnd't find an answer to.
Sorry if I have cause any trouble.

I think the problem your running into here is everything works differently than what you are use to in Apple products, most people here are Android addicts so they might not understand what cydia does, here is different its wide open instead of an app adding the correct files you do it yourself in adb and moding apks. There's a lot to read here if Apple was your starting point, there's much more that you can do with Android and everything you asked about is possible with some reading and time.
Good luck man, welcome to the community of unlimited options and opportunity.

Are you referring to me because I am using a One S to post this instead of my other phone? Maybe if his questions were answered instead of judging who posted to help this wouldn't be necessary.
I'll go a step further though, I'll contact devil when I get home and spend some time on gtalk to answer everything I can and you won't be offended that I came to the forum you obviously own, I'm sorry man.
I have this phone too though I hope it allows me to be here, let me know maybe its not enough to be in the secret club.

They do. I went through the process a couple months ago to help someone sign up. It's actually a lot more complicated than when I became a member. It required a captcha and a simple question like "Musical instrument that has several black and white keys" that you have to answer. Then you see the link to the video and a check box saying that you agree to the forum rules and that have read the video.
Unfortunately, there's no way to know if they actually read the forum rules and there is no way to verify that they actually watched the video.
Maybe we should implement a pop quiz before posting a new thread.

We have enough stickies. You can include it in your post though.
One of the main problem with stickies is that a lot of people use the XDA app to log on and search.
However most don't check the stickies tab at the top so they don't even see them when they search the forum. That's why at least 75 percent of the "noobs" post their questions that have already been answered. Seriously! Next time check to see if you notice a "Sent from my _____ using XDA App"
Hell... there's one in this very page! No offense to ebatr8 or anything I'm just proving my point that a lot of people use it. Unfortunately it's my belief that a lot of them use it as their primary source to log on. So a lot of content is missed because of it. And don't think that I don't check ip addresses! When I see someone with a stupid question I check two things:
1. Do they have a history of asking stupid questions?
2. Have they asked that stupid question multiple times?
3. Are they from another country? Sometimes the language barrier makes things difficult so I tend to have more patience.
4. I check the ISP of the person.
Now let me pick on ebatr8 just real quick. Don't take it personal or anything... but looking at your ip address you have "or.wavecable.com." What is that? Also.... I'm assuming you're using your home wireless network. So is it safe to assume that you also have a PC at home that you just don't feel like using? I'm not trying to pick on you or anything I'm just trying to see the appeal of that stupid XDA app. I use it when I have to but I would much rather have a PC. Maybe that's just me though.
That video is too funny. Thanks for sharing.

Actually, he did not search at all from my understanding. I'm not trying to be an ass, I'm just saying. From his OP, he states that he accidently found out how to take screen shots with the stock, none rooted rom when trying to turn off his device. Right away he posted the method up and I can bet without any search if that was a known feature for the amaze.
I'm pretty sure if you search Google, it will let you know thats a known stock feature for the amaze. But I guess you can give him credit for trying to help.
And actually, here it is. First result when I searched google
http://androidspin.com/2011/12/29/take-screenshots-htc-amaze-4g-no-root-necessary/
But now I'm just just busting the ops balls.
Thanks for the info.. but the guys are right. I gave you a thanks because you are trying.

Yuck! I've always considered myself to be a Google whiz, but apparently not. So what you're saying is if the OP would have typed this into Google, the thread wouldn't be needed? You seem to be typing out of both sides of your fingers. Not to mention, if the OP is new, I wonder what seperates him from other new noobs I see ripped for the same thing.
If my first post was "how to root amaze 4g" I'm sure it would be frowned upon for posting common knowledge that we could have searched and found the same info on.

No I'm not hating at all, I was actually commending the OP, just like I mentioned previously. I was merely pointing out the fact that with a little google search things can be found very easily...this is in no way against what the op did, trying to share what he thought was usefull information for many, and probably is for many who are new to android!!

Probably the most drama i've ever been trough over a phone. Guess people take this too seriously. A new phone comes out every 5-6 months i doubt half of you will even have this phone for more than a year, and to be responding the way you are is just WOW. All this for a phone you wont remember in 2 years. Again you're free not to read my post. Clearly im new to this "XDA" thing and know the bare minimum (root, cwm, cm10), hence the questions. Roms and roots were easy for my SGH Skyrocket, but is wayy more difficult for the LGOG for a newbie. Im learning though. Thanks to all of the chill people who helped in an appropriate manner. To all those who made having this phone living hell thank you too for making it clear that some people need a hug. Everyday. All day.

What you don't seem to understand is that no one minds questions, but asking a question, when there's a whole thread dedicated to the question (a thread that shows up 2-3 items down the forum thread list, from your) is absurd and does nothing but clutter these pages. Doing so makes people think that you are either too lazy to search for an answer or believe that your time is more important than ours, so we're supposed to provide the link for you or write the answer again. Why would you expect people to do either of those things?

We get that you're new to XDA. But given your age and generation, you should at least be somewhat familiar with technology (the fact that you are flashing ROMs and even on this website in the first place is proof of that) so we expect you to have a minimal understanding of forum etiquette. Like the guy above me said, the link to "How to use LGNPST on Windows 8" was just 2 threads away from the top when I posted the link to it in my reply.
Put yourself in our position. If EVERYONE decided to make a new thread every time they had a question that was answered 100s of times already instead of using the search feature or checking the stickies, just imagine how cluttered and unreadable this forum would be. We would be spending more time sifting through threads to find somewhat relevant ones. So basically you can see why we get a little uppity for threads like this.
Anyway, best of luck to you. Good job getting this phone. You're gonna love it! :good:
Since you're new you should have read the forum rules and watched the nice video XDA created that covers the basic forum etiquette like searching and not creating threads covering topics that have already been covered.
I think you need to go watch that video again, and stop breaking the rules. You're not making much of an impression with the members here so far, from what I can tell. To me you're coming across as both an asshat and not terribly bright. What you do from here on out is up to you, but I'd suggest a change in attitude would be a good start. Getting defensive and butthurt doesn't help your cause.
Start taking what we're saying as constructive criticism intended to help you conform to how things work here (even if it is delivered harshly). You'll find a lot of your questions have already been answered, and if not, people are willing to help if you ask the right questions the right way.

im hoping some ppl will be able to give me some good advice. i am currently running JEDI XV13 on my Note II. I found out the hard way that there is some type of bug with the gps. when i try to get turn by turn directions it gets hung up while searching for signal. does anyone know if and how i can solve this problem? does anyone have any good ROM recommendations? i am not really a big ROM flasher, nor am i into theming or anything like that. to be honest the only reason i rooted my phone was bc my friend said it was a good thing to do so if anyone has any thoughts or advice on anything ive mentioned i would greatly appreciate it

Noob mistake. Use the search function before asking a question. Chances are you will find an answer to most questions you have.
GPS Status and Toolbox should help for the GPS
Beans ainec IMHO (there is a thread recommending, just need to search)

I don't know why some people insist on calling n00bs out for everything. They too were once a noob. Your question is fair- there are two things you can do:
1. Turn on GPS and try to navigate somewhere, then go into Settings/More Settings under Wireless and Network/Mobile Networks/ and change the Network mode to CDMA/LTE to Global or vice versa. See if that works.
OR
2. Reflash back to Stock or whatever ROM you have had a GPS lock on and establish a lock. Then nandroid flash back to whatever ROM you want (i.e. JediROM). Try to navigate- most likely it will work.
I would advise though, hitting the Crtl F key... :highfive:

I'm just trying to get him to understand there is a search function that works very well. Then next time he has a question, he won't just post it, he can solve his problem.

I hear ya, it just seems like the community is rejecting newcomers. . I know this isn't the truth (usually) and he should have searched first, I guess I was trying to give him the benefit of doubt

Really the way some noobs are treated they are turned away from the community. I have been guilty of *****ing out noobs before as have most of us. It gets very old to answer these questions every day when people could have used the search function to find the answer.
On the same hand the reason some of the noobs dont even come to XDA and screw up their phones by using roms and rooting methods is because of the attitude here at XDA and the way noobs get treated. Im not saying every noob gets treated badly but when the first post tells them to search without trying to answer the question that gives a initial impression of an assholish community.

And add the fact that there are millions of posts to sort through, you sort for one question and it pops back 30 threads. Lol

Very true, but you can choose to sort thru one sub forum at a time and that geta rid of the majority of the posts that dont apply to you. Of course most noobs are confused by the way XDA is set up, I was confused by it a bit when I joined but it was a bit more disorganized then than it is now.
The reason most of us get a little annoyed with noobs and repetitive posts is when there are 3 posts that are the same thing one right after another and there is an answer in one but they didnt bother to even look at the Q&A section before posting.
The worst part though is when there are posts in thr Development sections, when I joined there was no Q&A sub forums and I still had enough sense to not post in Development.
Those of us who do try to donate our time and answer questions for new members need to leave our attitudes at the door when we start helping them unless it is warranted, and there most definitely are times that attitude is warranted. They are there asking for help because they honestly dont know what to do or don't understand a process and they asked for help not attitudes for posting a question in the Help and Q&A Thread. Its really giving the sitenas a whole a bad name because of the attitudes that some members have towards noobs even when they follow all the rules and have legitimate questions. I hate saying that about XDA because I love the site so much but it's the honest truth.

Is it possible to pull the keyboard apk from Samsung galaxy s5 and install it in the HTC m8? My phone is rooted. I just love everything about the gs5 keyboard.
If it is possible can someone please post it? Thanks

I'm no developer so I don't know for sure, but I'm guessing there is not, all that Samsung stuff usually relies pretty heavily on the TouchWiz framework, and it's been my experience that it's very difficult getting things running right.
Anyone else?

Go to the S5 international forum and download a stock rom. Unzip and navigate to system/app or it may just be in the app folder. Throw it on your phone and try it yourself.

Being pissy? Hell, I gave you the direct answer to the question you asked. I don't know if it would work or not, I was just trying to be helpful. Before you go slamming somebody why don't you read their post history, I don't troll people who ask questions, I try to help or point them in the right direction. I'm sure there are rules for decor for the board but **** the both of you. Next time search the entire forum and figure it out for yourself, douche.

like I said.... pissy. if you don't intend to be one.. you need to change your tone...
Asking me to try something obvious is NOT really being "helpful". I can figure that myself without putting up a post! But I don't know what the effects would be (boot loop?, bricked phone?)... and I don't intend to find out the hard way.. I'm looking to see if someone has already tried it and know if works directly, or with certain tweaks... NOT looking for someone to tell me "hey why don't YOU try and find out".
So yes.. if you don't have anything constructive to offer..save yourself the trouble of posting nonsensical "advice".

You're hilarious. So you just want people to spoon feed you the answer and heaven forbid you try solving the problem yourself. I guess this is your personal help desk seeing how you don't want to try to help yourself and maybe learn something along the way. See how far that gets you around here. Bootloop? bricked phone? from installing a third party keyboard? And I'm nonsensical? The funny thing is I was trying to help you out since I tried the exact "non-sensical" advice to install the aosp mail, sms, and calendar apps from another rom. Keep telling people their being pissy when they respond to your questions hot shot, you'll be real popular. No need to reply either, you've made it clear that anything other than a tried and true, step by step guide, with all assurances of safety is unacceptable, and unfortunately I don't have baby's bottle.

This is a Q&A forum. People are allowed to post their questions without having to worry about people like you who say "this is no damn help desk" so if you feel that way about people who ask questions no matter how silly they might appear to you, then DON'T BOTHER REPLYING! I don't need a baby bottle. You seemed pissy and condescending with your replies. There are several ways you could have suggested it in a better way and I would have even followed your advice. But your tone seemed like you were asking me to do something that was bound to fail.
So no. The problem is with you. Anyways... Moving on.
I did do my research about this. Don't assume that I'm posting without doing my homework.
There is only one posting somewhere where a guy pulled the gs5 keyboard apk and made it into a flashable zip for note. And I did try that and it messed up my phone.
So yes. I know why I'm taking about.
Again. If you are meaning to help then be nicer with your tone.
Thanks for ruining my thread!

I did love the S5 keyboard too. and I realize this isn't an answer to your question, but the SwiftKey Beta comes pretty darn close to satisfying what you might be missing. you should check it out.

WTF bro? All I said was for him not to do what you said as it would be a complete waste of his time because it will not work...Take a flipp'n chill pill already.
Guys, please.. This isn't youtube. Lets try to be constructive instead of destructive. With that being said, back to the topic at hand...As someone that has worked extensively with samsung devices, i'm 99% sure it won't work as a previous commentor said, most if not all samsung specific apps require TW to run them. My guess is to start playing around with some of the diff key boards apps in the market . I'm sure if the S5 keyboard hasn't been replicated yet, it soon will be.
If you are to attempt to pull the apk from the stock S5 rom or if you happen to find it online, don't worry about trying it out. It'll either work or it won't
