[Q] S Pen - Bamboo Stylus ? GN3 - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Morning Gents and Ladies,
I have a question about S-Pen and Bamboo stylus that has been driving me nuts for the past few weeks. I cant get the bamboo stylus to work unless the S-pen is removed. To answer the first question , yes I have searched XDA and every corner of the web that google would bring me to
So i have tried every iteration that i can find on the S-pen controles, including the Pen Detection.
The specifics: Running Galaxy Note 3 , Engineering BL , Fre 2.14 ROM (Big shout out by the way, fantastic ROM / Work).
Funny thing is my Bamboo stylus worked fine, before going to NC5. It would seem that with all the forum searching I have done, I am either the only one still having the problem or the only one yet to figure it out. So I am asking the powers that be to share their wisdom with a lowly little single poster like myself.
Appreciate the time / feedback.

I think that Freeza disabled in his kernel the digitizer when the S-Pen is still in the silo. I've noticed this same behavior on the AOSP ROM I'm currently running.
You may want to contact him directly to see if that behavior can be modified.

G1 Camera Flash?

KUDOS TO ALL!
I have been doing couple of research regarding camera flash for the G1. Hardware or app, whichever. So I have been looking on couple of threads. They talk about having a flash in g1 camera. I was figuring if does anyone have news about that? I kinda found this thread a little useful (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540299) but they stopped talking about it. Thinking maybe they stopped working about a hardware flash for the G1. I was hoping if they are developments I could know about. Or are there any g1 casing that provides LED lights for the casing (similar to the iphone-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mN6F93snwmA). Or like this guy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeQFqF5bK1M. Also in this guy in the HTC Dream (g1) manual has a flash in his g1. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=468673 --Go to service manual G1. Page 60 for a view of the camera on the back. And page 86 for better view at the back with the casing.
Please let me know if you guys have info about g1 camera flash.

So why did you decide to post a new thread about something that has already been discussed? I'm thinking that this should just be merged along with the other discussions all into one single thread. That's just me thinking about how to keep the forums clean and structured though.
I'm sorry if I made the forums untidy in your perspective. All apologies. I posted this because the old thread was a year old already. In my expectations no one would respond. So forgive me.

Whenever you reply to a thread that is a year+ old or a day old it "bumps" it. Yes... it would have been read. I think that if anything would have been done it would have been done years ago. Besides, not too many people still use the G1 anymore since there is about half a dozen newer devices out already.

Pin Code Unlock without pressing OK button?

Hi guys,
I still possible to make SGS2 unlock the phone as soon as i enter the right pin code on lock screen, without having to press the OK button down the bottom?
Doubt it, asthe ability to lock the sim card be too great. Example: you make a mistake on the last digit. 2 attempts left. You have taken a couple of beers. Ops. Sim Locked
Has anyone found a solution to this??
I've been customizing my phone every day for who knows how long, little by little to get it just how i like it, and this 'OK' button is annoying. VERY annoying. Though, I need a PIN on my phone, and 99.99%of the apps on the market have horrible horrible designs. No offence, but I'd rather stay with the android look. All of the thread's I've found have either told someone to use a third-party app, or use CM10. Well, someone who has almost all of their information on their phone can't afford to install this, seeing as it wipes your entire phone, and for a PIN, that's unnecessary. I don't know what roms are, same with roms. I like the way the touchwiz UI looks on my E4GT(I have fk09 leak installed, recently got this phone, and barely had anything on it). I like the way JB looks with touchwiz way more than it did on ICS(looked horrid).
TL;DR
If someone can find a fix to this, without any third party launchers, or horrible-looking apps, that would be great. If you give a rom, explain how to install it. Thanks in advance.
The rom SlimBean has this feature which I use. It can be found in the lock screen settings.

I'm going to preempt the inevitable question that's going to come following Drexciya's excellent suggestion to use Slim if you want this feature (tick quick unlock in settings/interface/lock screen/screen security).
How do you install it ? Read the first page of the Slim thread in Development. Easy.

Thanks for an answer, but AFAIK, FK09 has no recovery mod, which i didn't realize, and unless someone kniws of one that supports the build,pr whatever, I can't load any mods.. Also, links to specefic topics help a lot..
And you're unable to go to the Development section & look for the Slim Bean thread like everyone else here why exactly ? (using the XDA app on your phone & being too lazy don't count as valid answers).
Re: whatever you're running now that has no recovery, looks like you're going to have to flash something else; another rom that has CWRecovery or at the very least temporary CWRecovery (which will disappear after you reboot) if you want to flash Slim. I don't believe there's an Odin version.

No, I'm not being lazy, I simply dont know where to look. Not sure if you could tell, t I'm new here, and I'm not used to this. Did you expect me to just know where EVERYTHING is? I found this thread after wasting my entire evening looking for a solution, and found this thread. I signed up specefically for this purpose. I was trying to ask for a link without looking too unappreciative, but rhatbobvoliously didn't help. And I don't use an xda app, nor do I intend to.

I really don't know how to do this.. Is there a thread for this? I'll just google it.. Thanks anyways.
My point was (is) I don't have a link. If I want to get you a link, I'd go to Development (by navigating the site; not exactly a new fandangled web thingy) & find the thread, come back here & post the link. You're perfectly capable of doing this yourself, yet you expect me to that ?
That speaks volumes about the people who seem to visit here these days. They want everything served up to them on a silver platter with a minimum or no effort on their own part.
Also, from his first post in this thread, he's an Epic 4g Touch user. Any ROM suggestions he gets here are likely to be i9100 ROMs.

And this shows that some people who find themselves comfortable here can't read. I obviously don't know how to get to development, or how to navigate the forums. I don't inderatand how it takes any more explaination that I DON'T KNOW where to look. Get around looking like a smart allic, and actually take the time to help people around. What are you, 14? You act like it, as everyone is supposed to know everything on a site for developers. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that I know nothing about these things. I didn't do the rooting, soneone else did, so stop expecting everyone knows as much about this forum, or everything you are, because they don't. As far as I know, I didn't come here to argue with someone I don't even know, who thinks they're an internet genious, I came here for support. A link is the least of your problems if you think I know where it is. If you don't want to, don't do it, that's simple, just don't do it. Just don't reply, and save yourself the embarassment, because you just made the forums seem like ignorant children with conputers, who care more about criticising people than anything.

Aren't they both Galaxy SII's? I would think they did the same, and these roms run the same.. Does that mean that there are no rom for the epic 4g touch? If not, is there a way around this without rom?

Clearly you don't know you're in the wrong place anyways.
Yes, they are both Galaxy SII's. They are different, however, since yours (Epic 4g Touch) is a phone designed to work on Sprint's CDMA network. That phone has a separate forum. There are plenty of ROMs for that device in its forum.
The device this forum is for (GT-I9100) is a GSM phone that won't even work on Sprint's network. So no, ROMs for this phone won't work on your phone.

[Q] Padawan V8 Issues

Since I am a lurker but not a poster, XDA Forum does not allow me to post my question to the development folders. I have long history of rooting and putting custom ROM my phones. So, I can't say I am an expert but I am not a newbie either. So, to all developers, thank you for spending time and making these amazing ROMs.
I recently got a Galaxy Note i717 and immediately flashed with Padawan V8 after checking the forums. It is an amazing ROM. I have two small issues and I can't seem to find a resolution.
First one, there are no labels for the icons at the home screen. I could not figure out how I can put them back. As it seems it is not a featue of the rom, when look at the screenshots.
Second one, I have a screen PIN lock on the phone. When I receive the call, I answer it, but during the conversation, it goes on dark I can't seem to bring the screen back until other party hangs up.
Is it a known bug or did I mess something up with my phone?
Thanks for all your help in advance.
This is not a well known ROM?

To answer your first question, this is a VERY well known ROM, the answer to other question, about labels...there used to be a file in the goody bag that the Dev has for this ROM that adds those labels
See it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1907203
Try looking in the thread for the Padawan V8 rom here on XDA under developer threads...hope this helps
btw...you can also simply change launchers to get labels.
Thank you. I will try there.

[Q] HCL ME V1 tablet stuck in a boot loop, power button only works when 100% charged.

Okay, I know I'm supposed to search seven hells (watching too much Game of Thrones) before I post my question. The intro video was clear enough about that. But no, nothing helped. So here goes....
Hi guys,
My HCL ME V1 tablet (ICS 4.0.4, kernel 3.x.x, rooted with ME U1 root via SuperOneClick. Several forums said that this root would work for V1 as well) is stuck in a boot loop. The rest button does not solve the problem, neither does a hard reset (it simply does not go into hard reset from all the methods suggested online across various forums). I scoured heaven and earth to find how to go into recovery for this particular tablet but none of the solutions work.
The power button works only once when it's in 100% charge (green light on the top corner of lcd). After that I have to wait for it to get discharged completely and recharge it once again. All those tips of pressing the volume up and/or down button along with the power/home button and the reset pinhole... none of them worked in my case. I know its a corrupted OS issue and I can solve it. Only if I could somehow get the tablet to boot once or get into recovery or download mode. I know it for a fact that the power button i fine because... again... I stand witness to the fact that the tablet has not experienced any physical shock what-so-ever since the day it was bought. Also not to forget it works once when the tab is in 100% charge.
I can see two scenarios by which the problem might have started:
1. I downloaded FL Studio Mobile apk and its dlc from pirate bay. I copied the apk to the internal SD card (straight on the sd card not inside any folder), and the dlc was instructed to be copied to sdcard/Android/obb. The uploader had said that if the obb folder was not there, I had to create it and so I did and copied. Halfway through the dlc copy, my laptop hanged. So I terminated the process from taskmgr and disconnected my tab from the "disconnect from USB storage" page on the tablet.
2. Next I opened Android Tweaker (Pro?) to tweak a few parameters so that FL Studio Mobile could run a bit lag free. I'm not a power user so, I just used the auto-tweak feature for the performance settings. Next I rebooted via the app and lo! The tablet is now stuck in an eternal boot cycle loop.
I'm an electronic musician and like to have these apps on my devices so that I can make music on the go.
Also one thing I should mention is that while rooting the /bin/su file could not be executed, however installing Titanium Backup Pro (Root) had solved that problem as there was an option in that app to fix it.
Sorry for the long post :cyclops: but I think my problem is somewhat peculiar if not unique. No body else's solution is working and I think there are not many Indians who use the V1 tablet.
Solved
Thank you everyone for not replying to this post. You may have thought that the solutions existed in someone else's answers. But NO. None of anyone else's solutions worked.
I thought this was a place full of experts, but I guess you people are way too busy with your own stuff to really help others which is the purpose of this forum.
Anyways, I solved the problem. The tablet works fine, in fact it works even faster. And just to rub it in HCL's face, I've upgraded the internal memory and RAM. Yes I resoldered the PCB. Removed all the bloatware and useless stuff from our dear beloved Indian manufacturer.
But I'm not going to share how I solved this issue. None of you took the time to reply, so non of u will get this piece of knowledge upgrade. Funk you very much :victory:

Hey bro,
I am newbie with this HCL V1 tablet and it sucks a lot to use this. I got it sent to HCL store for repairing (to flash) just after 3 days I ordered it.
As you are the user of this tab you should be very well known to the problems this tab comes with. Even its not playing the Subway Surfer game smoothly, wt the hell with 1 GB RAM.
So please suggest me the twiks for this tab as like working rooting, global or transparent proxy (needs in college campus because in college wifi works only with default browser with no download at all (only in androids, downloads in symbian, iOS) probably because download runs with external app by default in androids as it shows differently in notification bar about the download progress).
Please help me to resolve these problems.
Thank you.

You are proving to the world how racist Indians are to each other nothing else. And I'm not a Bori wherever the **** they are from. Its Borah you "madarchod ki aulad hindustani" Of course now you will report this to the admin and I will get banned from this site. Or you're gonna throw your cheap sounding Indian abuses at me, or you will try to act like a smartass and type a nice sophisticated sounding comeback to make people sympathize with you. What else can your beta-male-Indian-ass do? Either way, you are insignificant to me and whatever you say is invalid in my world. And thank you for quoting me because finally I got a notification from this website.
For the rest of the people-
This thread is almost one year old now if you know how to read the English calendar. The FB account that was linked to this has been deleted almost a year ago. I don't exactly remember the solution but I cracked open the tablet, took out the ROM, took it to a friend who burns ROMs.
This tablet was meant for my dad which is why it pissed me off no end that it should malfunction. Eventually I threw this piece of **** in the trash and got him a Samsung tab that works the way it is meant to work.
My advice - save some money and buy a higher end android tab and your life will be much more peaceful. Unlike iOS where the hardware platform is pretty much standard, the wide variety of configurations on which android is installed is the main culprit here. You want smooth performance, less lag, and bug free performance, and easily available non-factory support? Honestly start saving money and get a better brand tab. No where else in the world do people push these cheap ass tablets so hard other than the third world.
I understand you all want the best bang for your buck but understand what "best" is first.
Now, you'll can crucify me in your replies if you want. I don't give two ****s about it. Peace out homos!

How to root Onyx Boox Note?

I have recently bought an Onyx Boox Note. This is an E-Ink device that runs Android 6.0.1. It has a 10.3 inch display, 2 gb of RAM, and 32 gb of internal storage. No sd card slot. There is no custom recovery available for it, to my knowledge. Neither Kingoroot nor Kingroot were able to root it. I have adb access to the Note, however, but not fastboot.
Any suggestions as to what I could try? Let me know if you need more info about the device.
Thanks for your help.
Update: I have achieved root. I used King Root which finally worked after a couple of attempts. I then used the SuperSuMe Pro app to switch myself over to SuperSU. All is well now.
OT, So is the device worth the $$$?

That depends on how you plan to use it. (The price is not out of line if you compare it with an iPad or some similarly sized Android tablet.)
The best answer I can give you is to offer you a checklist of various features. If you can say "yes" to most, if not all, of them, then the Note might be worth the cost for you.
1) Your eyes like E-Ink much more than LED.
2) You want a device light enough for lengthy ebook reading sessions, yet large enough to comfortably read pdfs.
3) You want the ability to install apps of your choice (Instapaper, Moon Reader, Outlook, Office, whatever...)
4) A frontlight is not essential.
5) A sd card slot is not essential.
6) Bluetooth capability is important.
7) Note-taking with a stylus is important to you.
8) Audio capability is useful to you.
9) You find the older crop of E-Ink devices too slow.
There may be other features you may value, but this will do as a general checklist. Then you can see for yourself if the Note is worth the money or not.
Please we need root!!!! I was not able to get root with my firmware!!!!
Hi, Where did you buy this device? I like it and my eyes are tied of LCD screens.

I bought my device from here.
I don't have OneNote installed on my device. However, if you check out the Onyx threads on Mobileread, you'll find reports that there is a significant lag when someone takes notes with OneNote, or any third party app. The stock Note app works much better - but that doesn't help you, unfortunately.
I don't use the note-taking functions very much, other that annotations and the like on pdfs.

The Android applications for taking notes are not ready for this device yet (if they use the Note's SDK, that will be much different history), they have a lot of lag, but instead you can use the built in note application and the is like writing in paper.
I use it to read book and the web.
Need help
Guys, thanks a lot for answers. Actually I need an e-ink device on Android with a big screen and capable to run the app JW Library. But because this devise is new on the market, I am afraid to spent the money (and it is not a cheap one) and discover that it can not run this app smoothly. I have a Kindle Paper White and I love it, but its screen is too small and it is not an Android.
May I ask you guys a favor?
Could someone of you guys to install this app from Google Store and to download just some magazines and books and to try to turn pages, to click on references and to see how it works (the app does not require registration). I think with 2 Gb of RAM and 4 core proc. it should work smoothly as much as the e-ink screen allows, but I am afraid to buy it and discover that this app is too heavy for the Note and its software.
Please, I need a help with this.
Thank you in advance for the help!
P.S.: It would be great if someone could attache a picture of the Note with this app working/opened if it is not too much to ask for.
I might be able to try it tomorrow. One of the main reasons why I bought the Note was its ability to run the Logos Bible Software app - and the Note runs it perfectly. I'll see what I can do about pics. I can attach screenshots as well.
ERASED.

I did the test, is not like turning pages because the application has the scroll vertical and the experience was smooth (smooth as an eink allows), the experience was like Galaxy TAB S with a display a bit slower than the Galaxy.
This device for reading is really amazing, I believe till now is the best in the market.
The screenshots are in the attachment.

@IurMal: How is it going with the JW Library on an Onyx Boox Note? Does this device have to be rooted? I am looking for a decent e-ink device which can run the JW Library flawlessly.

My question was about Onyx Boox Note and whether it can run certain software installed from Google Play flawlessly without the need to root this device.

Update: I have achieved root. I used King Root which finally worked after a couple of attempts. I then used the SuperSuMe Pro app to switch myself over to SuperSU. All is well now.

Hello Windsor1959, I have a ONYX BOOX Note too, but the >Pro< Version
I tried the apk and Windows-Software from the link you provided (Thank You for sharing!! :laugh, but I could not do it:
KingRoot.apk and Windows Application with USB + ADB, everytime it replies "no root possible", even after factory reset and multiple on/off tries;
Because I don't have an open boot-loader I cant do much else, or can I ??
6.0.1 Android Marshmallow should have enough holes in it, no?

After one of the firmware updates, I was unable to get root again. So Onyx must have changed something, which made it harder to root the device. To be honest, I think I lucked out in getting root in the first place!
Yes, you'd think that Marshmallow would have plenty of holes in it! But I haven't seen anyone else get root on a Note, either, since then.
If anyone else reading this has, please tell us how you did it!

Just to confirm what @Windsor1959 encountered that previously I was able to obtain root through Kingroot. Recently I updated the firmware for my Onyx Boox Note and I tried to root again with Kingroot but was not successful. I encounter this post while I am searching for method to root it again (very unlikely at this point).
If anyone is still interested.
