Hands up, I have to be honest, this thread is basically a duplicate of one I already started elsewhere but it's just gotten buried in that section and I doubt I'll ever get any help with it.
As I said in the other thread, I'm wondering if it's possible to embed switches/toggles for functions like bluetooth into a live wallpaper.
I mean, I know that live wallpapers can respond to touch input, I'm just not sure if they can be used to control other functions within the handset itself.
If that is possible, the next problem is that I have no idea how to create a live wallpaper.
Any/all suggestions, advice, etc would be greatly appreciated.
Quick bump in case anyone can help...

Top two work best bud, good luck! That would be pretty cool if you incorporate that though.
Because, of course, I'd never thought to actually try finding out the answer myself(!)
Pretty much every link on the first page of that search I've already looked at.
But answers aren't hugely forthcoming, especially about being able to control the bluetooth status, and the guides aren't the clearest for someone who has no idea what he's doing like myself.
I asked here in the hope that someone with some expertise might be able to help.

Try that
Thanks for the link, I'll look into that.
One guy mentions 'livemake' which I've not encountered so far.
The second one just uses 'Custom Creator 2.6' which I'm already familiar with and isn't remotely capable of what I'm trying to do - it can only produce basic animations.
I'll definitely chase that up though, thanks.
I need some help. I am not a noob. I have just rooted my girlfriends Samsung Fascinate and installed CWM 3.0.0.8 I went to do a backup / nandroid of the stock rom before I made changes and it came back that there was an error during backup process. Can someone help if you have come across this before or if you my just know what to do to get the backup to work.
cwm3 will not do nandroid backups of stock roms. You need to use cwm2.5.1.x if you want to nandroid a stock rom.

Fyi, you could atleast say thanks or that didnt help, but not responding is almost an insult.
Sorry that I am just now saying something. Thank you for the info I really do appreciate it. I ment no disrespect by taking so log but I am a very busy person and I don't check the threads that often. This is the first time I have been on since I made the thread. This is all a hobby for me and I don't live on here. So in the future if you answer something for me or are waiting on a reply from me please sit tight. I will respond in a weeks time.
Anyways once again Thankyou very much.

your welcome. Im probably on xda way more than I ought to be lol. I wasnt necessarily waiting on a reply...its just the simple fact I have given help or advice to many posters in the past and then they never respond to the thread. That pretty much makes the thread useless at that point. I thought this thread was going the same direction, but you responded. Thanks
I have had time to try the different CWM and this has fixed my issue. Thank you

It's just a softbrick, but the download link for the root/unroot kit is 404ing.
It's really disappointing that nobody even pays attention to that post anymore.
Can I get a mirror or something? Anything? I just need the files, I know how to do the rest.
40 views and 0 replies. Thanks guys.
Having the same problem, it seems that all the stock GTab 10.1 WiFi links are 404. I need to bring mine back to stock and can't find the files anywhere.

Same here. It seems like nobody really cares, either.
I found this and it fixed my problem. Only annoying part is you have to do a quick register to download the file. It's a tutorial but it has the links to the files in it that I needed. It is actually ICS which in my eyes is a bonus.

Comments like that don't get a response. I bricked my S3 last night and with one Google search, I was able to DL stock and learned how to flash it with ODIN.
Next time before you post, do a quick search, like Justin did, and I bet you will find your answer. :victory:
I have to echo that. An experienced modder or dev will simply think you're a bellyacher otherwise from my experience. Not 20 minutes ago I bricked my S2...had to get creative with multiple recoveries and SD card crap but was able to come back from the brink and I've only been at this stuff a month. If you look hard enough you will find answers and tools.
That said thanks to Justin...its awesome to have users like that who help others out I try to do the same where I've had the same issues. That's why I love this place!
First I would like to say thank everyone from XDA. I'm new to posting, but I've been lurking them for a while. I have learned A LOT and can't believe I haven't posted earlier. If the answer to this is there then my apologies. I work in a factory and use my earbuds/mic to talk on the phone. I understand that some background noise will be heard but there is far too much. If it helps I have a HTC Desire CDMA running MIUI 2.3.7 and I can't even find the voice privacy option. I have searched and searched and either it's not exactly my problem or no one EVER answers this. I really thought this would be an easy answer but turns out its not :/ If anyone could PLEASE help me I would be sooooo appreciated. Thank anyone in advance!!
Maybe what I'm looking for could be a mic sensitivity modifier or something like that. Maybe a app that can do this? I just know with all the apps/mods there is for android, there HAS to be a solution for this. I have yet to find one.
i think i got it thanks anyways
sorry for posting so much as i created this thread long ago. can a moderator please delete this thread its useless. thanks
Hello there. Basically, I was on the newest (I think) Alliance Rom with Dorimanx kernel for s2. however, it began to get quite buggy, and I tried to flash a new kernel onto it. Siyah. then I tried to flash Cyanogenmod onto it. Restarted, phone won't load past the siyah logo. But I get the siyah recovery menu thing still. But when I try to install the cyanogenmod zip, it fails. I have no other roms on my sd card, or kernels, for that matter.
Please can somebody advise me what to do. I need my phone for work in 5 hours! I was thinking a fix possibly with Odin? Although, I'm guessing if I wiped the phone, kies will no longer be on there. Not sure what it means for it.
thanks.
It's Jellybean by the way
1) Use a more descriptive title than 'HELP !'. Many people will ignore your thread/not read it for that alone (which means you might miss out on help).
2) If you've still got CWRecovery, you still should be able to flash something without resorting to Odin. I would suggest perhaps you're not following the instructions on the first page of the CM thread to the letter. Try it again.
If you really can't flash anything in recovery & still have bootloop (I.E recovery seems broken), get a stock rom from Samfirmware, flash it with Odin = clean slate & you can then re-root your phone & have another go at flashing whatever rom/kernel you want to use.
Thanks, and thanks for telling me about the title, I guess, my apologies, but urgency is urgency.
I can't get any zip files onto my phone or the SD card. so flashing from the phone is pretty much a no.
I can try Odin, however, I barely know what it is. Is anybody willing to just tell me what to click?
No spoon feeding allowed mate. No one will hold your hand and tell you what button to click. I may as well fly over there and do it myself.
If you want to know about Odin flashing click the link in my signature and look at the section on how to flash.
But, I still don't think you need to use Odin. In CWM recovery, Mount usb storage, connect to pc, transfer rom.zip onto phone sd from pc, unmount usb & then flash rom. Done.

Okay.. Seems a bit odd, being a help section, in a forum. I just figured since I'm dealing with something that could potentially break/brick my phone, I would rather do it right as opposed to wrong, considering I have never done it myself before.
Thanks though, I didn't actually know I could mount it without actually booting the phone. I'll try that.

Yet you still haven't changed it. Urgency may well be urgency, but you either want to make that small change & potentially get the help you need if you get stuck further, or you don't. No skin off any of our noses either way *shrugs*.
P.S - Forum rules are forum rules.
Edit - And the reason Hopper said what he said - this may well be a Q&A forum, but that doesn't mean we regurgitate stuff that's been asked/answered thousands of times over the past two years for any n00b who thinks they deserve same.
I'm not even being harsh with what I say. I didn't write out the steps, but I did give you a direct link to a place which lists the steps. That's a legitimate A to your Q.

Just a few more that just say "help". I can see that it is not posing a ****ing problem. Not to mention (may be my fault) but I don't see any way to change the title.
As far as I'm concerned mate, I wanted help with something, went to the HELP section of a FORUM, and got help, so you can go **** yourself if you have a problem with that. I don't go to forums to just chat about my day. If what I did ask was too much for you, then just let someone help who is more helpful than you. I didn't ask anybody to troll the net for files, or anything of the sort, I asked for legitimate help with something I didn't know how to do.
Either way, I've managed to fix the problem, so no more needs to be done.
Thank you to those who gave me advice.

Please show respect to senior members. They have been here longer than you, obviously dealt with problems much similar to your and want you to search for yourself, that is why the search buttons are there. Did you watch 'I am a noob in XDA Developers' video?
And you obviosuly have no idea why they say this, but it's because you will learn for yourself. In near future you will search and find answers yourself if you start now (which they are trying to make you do) other than just relying on other people to do your work for you. That's not the way XDA developers work.
So rather then being disrespectful and throwing insults at them, you should thank them

Yes - I appreciate the fact that I was helped the amount I was, but I could say the same. Is that the best way to treat new members? I have already apologized twice for my mistakes, at least, and I STILL have people telling me I'm doing things wrong. Also, it's not like I haven't thanked them. I think I thanked them at the end of nearly every post. Anything else to pick at?
I'm not trying to disrespect - just trying to prove my point. If you didn't want to help me, don't, just don't ***** about the fact that I wanted help. :/
My problem is fixed, that's all that matters.
thanks again.

Yes it's the right way to treat new members.
You are doing things wrong, respecting other members is a rule of XDA and you're not doing it - so you're doing it wrong.
Good you thanked. But was i necessary to disrespect. Yes you were disrespecting.
Prove your point? That it's okay to spoonfeed newbies and making them think that they wont have to do anything, just ask and wait?! No that's not right, as already stated.
You wanted to help how exactly? To tell us that we should do it 'the way you like it'? No that's wrong, accept it!
Dont come here and try to flame, there's a rule against that. Take you crap elsewhere, cause with that attitude you probably wont get much help around here or anywhere else for that matter.
This is my last post and visit here, so dont even bother commenting if there anything about me.
