Could this be the answer to our locked bootloader? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

Purely speculating. I can only merely assume this thing is unlocked. How would OP find out?

Oh wow. That is different. Would love to see that about phone screenshot for build numbers etc before it gets updated. Is it a Verizon s4?

Looks photoshopped. The same number that is on the back also shows in the 2nd picture, top left of the phone. If it was for instance a prototype phone im doubting samsung would have imprinted the number to where it was running into the chrome bezel.

Interesting. Only noticed it after you mentioned it. If I were on my PC I'd do an image analysis. Anybody up for it?

Where do you see any #'s in the second picture? Was it changed or something because there are no #'s in the second pic? Only in the 3rd pic of the back of the phone.

I helped him pull /system last night. It was late and it was taking a while to upload it to Dropbox. I'm waiting for him to send me the link. I haven't heard from him yet, but I'll post here as soon as I do.

You do know how that sounds, right?

Damn it this is tedious. Does anyone have a list of the folders that are pulled in a system dump. He uploaded the .zip but it's missing folders and I don't know where to tell him to look for them. They don't seem to have gone to the same location they went when I pulled my /system.
Edit: Never mind. It appears his upload has failed, and he has a sluggish connection right now. He's uploading again and it appears to be going smoothly, but it will probably take over night unfortunately. I'm sorry for the wait.
But, if someone does have a list of folders and files, that might help.

It shouldn't be files or folders. It should be IMGs made from dd'ing the various partitions. Unless you just copied the system partition contents... But that's only one partition of many...

If it works very well/very polished, don't see why you'd say that then. I don't know anyone who doesn't use fb, techies included.
If XDA made a launcher, I wouldn't use it most likely either unless it had more options than the current launchers on the market. I sure as hell wouldn't go around saying this launcher is just for the techies though.
I don't see the harm in trying it out. I backed the Chameleon launcher and used it for awhile on my nexus 7. Then I tried it for awhile on my N2 when it came available. I'm not currently using it on either, but I don't see any harm in trying it out.

I agree. At least take a look and see what the competition is up to!
Most of you are replying about the launcher, where as I see his question is : "Anyone going to get the home?" meaning the phone itself.
To my answer.. No.
Actually, the phone is the HTC First which comes with Facebook Home pre-installed. I will not get the phone, but will try FB Home.

Mine refuses to work with my scarf, I've tried everything I could think of. Do you recommend a certain brand? North Face? Gap? Polo?
I think the more important thing is the material. I hear that you wont have much luck with polyester. Wool might be the way to go, if you can deal with the itch.

[THEMED][APP] BeyondPod - Holo Styled

Hey guys, i themed my first app today!
I used BeyondPod all the time. Who needs radio when you have pod casts? but i always hated the way it looked...so i made it look nicer! I do think i couldve done a better job, cuz i think some of the icons look a tad bit pixelated...
Anyways, let me know if you like it!

I flashed a patch to get rid of the transparent menus. But I am going to say that since your app is themed the patch dosen't work for it. It all makes since now. lol :good:

What's the "1" when you click the 4.4.2 system FW?

I searched for it but apparently found nothing... you know when you go in settings, About Phone, and click multiple times on "Android Version" (on 4.4.2)?
Well, on other devices (on 4.4.2 too) when clicking on it, it appears a big "K", and then clicking on it you get the Kit Kat red screen.
Why is a big "1" appearing instead of the "K" on our device?

I may have found something.
Someone in other forums found out that since the "K" appears on Nexuses, the build number is the culprit, since it has the format KOT49N, beginning with a "K"; our build number begins with a "1" (14.3.A.0.681), and the Moto X has a similar format, so we both get a "1" instead of the "K".
I'm not rooted at the moment, is someone willing to try changing the build.prop number with a beginning "X" to see what happens?
