I have a Verizon Tab and I dont care about being able to use it on Verizon. I am only using the wifi to connect to the internet.
Am I able to use any ROM seeing that I dont care about the internet working?
any ideas? i am interested in this as well

No, I see about 90 people have viewed this but there has been no answer.
I am not a Dev and lack a lot of skills needed to make a custom ROM.
Bit if I understand things right. All the Tabs are the same exept for the radio that is used to access the internet on a network.
But other than that all hardware is the same, so other ROMs should work just not allow you to use the internet.
I for one am using just using Wifi so I would like to be able to use some of the other ROMs.
Wow
There is still no real answering this?Up
I use my Evo and wife only for internet on my tab. It would be great if I could use any Rom out there .

I was asking a developer this yesterday, he said if you take a Gsm rom and run it it will not run properly. As you are aware the radio will not work which you said is not a concern but other things will become an issue like your device being seen as a Cd drive. The frame work is totally different. If you are cool with Heidmall and have the stock Verizon image files go ahead and try it. doing major back ups of your current config. If its not working the worst thing is you will have to reapply the stock image and start over with your back ups.
CM7 for our tabs is in the works if you can wait it out a bit longer. Im not sure exactly what you expect to get from another rom??
Really I'm just looking for a little more speed and better battery life.
To me the Tab is still the best out there due to size and form factor.
But playing Anger Birds with wifi on seems to make my tab a little slower and lag.

Khasmek's Rom and kernel do wonders for the cdma tab
There was somebody who tried a while back..I'm looking around now..but imo its not worth the risk when the performance is already available and tested

Do you have Verizon or Sprint GT?
I can tell you there are differences. I tried to get the sprint tab running CwM using the verizon bootstrap method and my tab is borked. Completely unresponsive except for the BSOD the phone ! pc graphic. I am pretty sure I could fix with odin but I dont have a pc. I am on vacation with my macbook pro and I think I am really gonna be screwed when the battery dies.... Anyone have a solution to this?
I have nothing to support this, but I have "survived" the "phone ! pc" and I *suspect* that the "phone ! pc" has to do with low battery (or some minimal power needed, even for download mode.)
In my experience, I *had* a fully charged tab when I've seen this, so it may be some misreading, somehow. I've forced myself to take a deep breath, plug into a wall charger and walk away for ~hour. After this, I can get it to Download Mode, and reflash with stock image. Scary and random, but I think it's meant as a symbol/message to have the device *fully* charged for attempting flashing, etc.
Again, this is theory only, but I've seen that screen 2x on both a sprint & verizon tab, and patience has won the day. Good luck.

The phone...!...pc mode is like a backup download mode. From here, you can flash using odin or heimdall.
Hey guys sorry if this question has been answered but is there anyway to get the webtop to work without tethering? Thanks a lot guys.

You need an att tethering plan to use webtop.... I don't know what you are talking about. There is a reason why xda is becoming more and more irrelevant as time goes on and developers are choosing a different website. It's people like you guys who just need to one up other posters who are causing this. There are some great people on here, then there are you guys. That's the reason why the rootzwiki is becoming the new standard. Oh and I should sell my atrix cause I asked a question about webtop? That clearly means I have no idea what I'm doing right? That's a joke but thanks for the suggestion

I have read that webtop should work when you are on wifi, but that's just what I've heard since I don't use it. If you're trying to use it while on AT&T's data network then, yes, you need tethering but there are tethering and webtop hacks galore in the "noob" thread that is stickied at the top of the "General" forum.

Also, try not to take anything personally. This is an internet forum, just let it roll off your back.
Just looked over the sticky and it has a link to a cwm installable webtop file that I already have. Nothing about disabling att from verifying the tethering plan required to use the webtop on 3G. Webtop works fine on wifi... And before gingerbread, there used to be a way to get it to work without a tethering plan. That is why I asked this "n00b" question that nobody seems to have an answer for.

Have you tried the "Entitlement" mod (enabling tethering)? It should be the one right above or below the Webtop link.

No problem, hope you find something that works. Like I've said, I don't use it so I don't know what would actually work.
Also, like I've said, you can't take things personally on the internet, but if I can give some advice. Try to be more descriptive in your comments especially when starting an entire thread. Include things like what "mods" you have already used, and maybe include what ROM you're using and what resources you have already searched through for answers, you could even go as far as describing the steps you are using when encountering the issue. All of this helps the rest of us help you. Your original post "looks" like a "noob" question and that's like blood in the water for the sharks.

OP asked a valid question and didn't deserve to be noob-bashed. I have the same issue. I have done the "entitlement" hack using the SQLLite Editor to set the "Entitlement Check" field to "0", and I am able to use my Atrix as a mobile hotspot without a tethering plan.
However, when I attempt to use Firefox on the Lapdock while connected via 3G (WiFi off), a popup appears saying "Verifying AT&T account status for webtop...". Then, after a few seconds, it fails and another dialog pops up saying "The Firefox browser requires a Wi-Fi connection or appropriate data plan. Please use Wi-Fi or call AT&T Customer Service at 1-800-331-0500 to add the appropriate data plan to your account"
Any help would be appreciated.
Try this and see if it works. Make sure you have done the entitlement hack and while connected to the webtop turn on the mobile hotspot on your phone and then go into your networks and choose the tether apn.
I tried something in that nature and was browsing firefox on my phones data. I'll try again in the morning and see if that's what I did.

Question.
Is it considered tethering if instead of using the full browser firefox, that requires a tethering plan, to instead use a browser (such as Dolphin HD) INSIDE of the phone module app on the webtop... since it's actually using your phone's apps instead of firefox?
just a thought.

Thanks dmbrown81, that totally worked! I still get the nagging messages from the Webtop about needing a tethering plan, but if I just turn on WiFi Tethering while the phone is docked, Firefox will work fine! Brilliant!

Obviously that would never be detected, but ATT does consider it tethering. Total BS if you ask me, all the doc is is an external screen/keyboard/pad/battery, it is in no way a seperate system.
The odd thing is that while using a StarHub prepaid sim in Singapore on my unlocked ATT Atrix it doesn't do that check, only when I use my ATT sim.
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
Thanks that solution works
Thanks everyone for suggesting the "hotspot" trip. I am curious as to why this needs to be done is we are using the entitlement hack. Does anyone know why this is or is the just the way to get around having to pay twice for data? Also, have you guys noticed a big hit in your battery life when using the hotspot tethering? I'm just happy that this solution works because I got the lapdock just for this reason.
There is something in the ATT firmware that recognizes when the phone is using an ATT sim and disables data connections to the webtop environment. The whole time I was in Singapore using a StarHub Green prepaid sim my phone never did that "Verifying account blablablah..." when I docked the phone in my LapDock, as soon as I docked it I could start using Firefox.
An interesting note: the phone disables all data connections for a moment when it does this check. I noticed it because Pandora died on me one day when I was listening and I docked my phone. I watched the connectivity arrows on the H+ icon the next time I docked my phone and they went away for a few seconds just as that toaster notification popped up. Even with the Entitlement Mod this happens.
Hotspot tethering will kill your battery life, although that battery life is augmented by the lapdock. I'm pretty sure you can turn tethering off once you've started up Firefox and are browsing away. Don't ask me how I know, a little bird told me.
No, using apps inside the phone view isn't considered tethering. You can use the stock browser inside there without doing anything. If att calls using a non-stock browser tethering, pitch a fit and tell them to piss up a rope.
And regarding my snark earlier: I think a lot of the people who have been here for a while get tired of seeing threads like "Can I haz root on my phone OMG I'm a noob" when we remember discussing the same subject multiple times in the past. I know this particular question has been asked and answered before. I found it ironic that you were being chided by someone who had < 10 posts.
tl;dr - non-ATT sims work without mods, ATT sim data connection gets disabled, this has been covered.
Is there, or will there be a way to use google wallet on the non sprint S3s? With or without root or rom?
There has to be some info on this out there. Is Google Wallet just a gimmick or will this really take off? If so I would think AT$T and Verizon being bigger providers than Sprint, there would have to be the ability to get these to work with it.

there is info on this, if you search.
wallet is only support officially by sprint. the rest of the carriers you will have to find the modded apk for wallet.
(also, i hit the thanks button accidentally instead of 'quote' on your post, so free thanks for you!)
I searched, but anything that comes up is about Sprint having it and AT&T not...But at least I know that it will be possible at some point.
The question is if the At&t version has a secure element. If it doesn't, then there is no chance.

How do we go about finding something like that out? If they are wanting their version of the s3 to work with some other "google wallet" type system, it would seem it would have all the same requirements. I dont see them killing the ability completely, just had the software side removed. But who knows what these guys will do these days.
Att is developing their own system with some other carriers called ISIS. Probably not a chance to get Google wallet working on the att version.

EDIT: That only works on rooted devices, my bad
Having to root it is not a big deal, I just wanted to know it was possible to use it if the need came up. Right now I dont think NFC payments are big enough to consider a must have, but if the day comes that 8 of 10 shops use some sort of nfc payment system it will change my mind for sure. I just like to know that I can do something. Im sorta waiting to root as well Its running like a champ and everything that i use daily is working without a root. Once a nice easy one click is out that will not trip the counter I will go for it, or if some app or ability that I just have to use requires it. But just enjoying the phone for now as is
I am rooted still doesn't work on i747 just hangs on activating

Maybe now that so many are getting this phone we will see some work being done to figure this out.
to get it to work you will need to fudge the phone into thinking it's connected with Sprint using Market Enabler or equivalent. That's I had to do on my G Nexus in canada.
so, for some reason, i installed it, it loads but i get this message, and just stopps.
"Initializing your device. this make take a few min...... blahh blahh.. "
thats it..
Worked for me on Canadian sgs3...
I'll try post instructions for it tomorrow evening.

Hello XDA
My Wife offically got the Orange Quick Tap Wallet app installed and working...i found it funny how it then installs a barclaycard app then after and its actually the barc app that does all the work, i then tryed taking the sim outs the phone and tryed in mcds and it worked
so the contactless quick tap sim orange make customers order isent needed aslong as once the barclaycard app is installed on your phone ...I am wondering if theres a way to get the barclayscard app from her stock galaxy s3 phone and transfer it over to my CM10 factory unlocked unbranded o2 Samsung Galaxy S3?
i now know its the barclays app that we all want, also the whole £50 customers are meant to get we both dontknow whos meant to give us the credit for her s3 atm
anyways exciting knowing there might be a way to get the barclay app off her phone and onto every other app
You could try to see if it installs a separate app and pull that apk file

no thats what i mean it has installed as a seperate app lol but i dontknow how to take it off the phone to try on a diffrent handset

Download the app root explorer from the market, its a paid app but you get 15 minutes to refund.
Once downloaded open it up and go to /data/app - look on the list of apps installed and find the one you think it is, long press it and go copy then at the top of the page press that button to go back two levels and then go to sdcard and paste it there.
from there you can use whatever app you normally do to access your sd and upload the file for all of us.
its all a ****ing marketing ploy to get u to think its all orange, when its not even the orange app thats does the work...all the orange app is there for is to then direct u to the barclaycard app lol total joke big time
I'm really interested to see if we can use this on other networks. I think it's silly that the technology is there for all to enjoy, but some company has decided better...
Do you know if it allows you to use any cards, or is it just barclaycards?
damn wife is now on a night out lol
iv downloaded the root explorer app but need her phone to get the app lol
ill report my progress in a few hours and with luck ill upload the file here on xda for all
yes it has allowed her to attached any card to the service
hers is a lloyds visa debit,
Did you say her phone was rooted? (I guess it will need to be to pull the app) It's rooted and this NFC payment app works still?
yes her phone was already rooted, just waiting to install root explorer onto her phone when i see her tonyt, then ill try it on my s3 and my nexus 7 tablet,
see iknow when using the orange app you need to turn off wifi cause its trying to read the network but once u then launch the barclaycard app u can use network or wifi hence at the time of using it with no sim we had no sim in and used wifi to connect and worked fine as before, im hoping to get this running on my rooted s3 with cm10 and am on the o2 network so it it works i think its safe to assume it will work for all...well lets hope so iv been waiting since forever to get google wallet here in the uk and so much for the olympics fail of no app i guess google will probs never release the google wallet app here in the uk kinda like how we may never get google music and proper google video google mags
anyways if this works from my experience of using it today it works perfect, the app it as good as it needs to be and incase you all wanna know its just a pre-payed card you top-up kinda like what google wallet had but hopefully they will replace that with just direct card payments soon,
i wonder when other networks will get there nfc wallet apps out, sucks i cant try this rytnow she wont be home until after midnight so i guess ill be up all nyt getting this working
Shouldn't she be in the kitchen doing the dishes?

k guys iv been trying to do this for the first time...i have used root explorer and managed to find the apk file its 3mb and copyed and attempted to install on my s3 but during the installation it ends saying not installed
do i need to also find the app data from her phone aswell?
First off, I deserve very little credit for this. All of the heavy lifting is done by the great CM team. All I did was make a few modifications to their work.
This is a no phone, "Touch" version of CM10.1 stable for the Samsung Captivate, based on my previous work with ICS and GB roms. I have removed the APKs from the ROM that control phone functions and most of the cell signal icons. The dialer is still there, but the phone does not work, INCLUDING 911 CALLS."Secret Codes" work through the dialer.
Install instructions: (If you are here I am sure you know how to search so I will not provide direct links, but I like GooManager)
1.) Install cm-10.1.0-captivatemtd
2.) Install cm-10.1.0-captivatemtd - nophone_v1
3.) Wipe Data/Factory Reset
4.) Install JB GAPPS Package
5.) Reboot
You will get a FC error upon boot, but otherwise everything seems to work. I will update the not working list as I come across issues.

For those of us with kids, it allows them to play with their own device without risk of a 911 call!
I use mine as a baby monitor now connected to our IP cameras.
Also battery life is SIGNIFICANTLY improved.
And yes, I know that you can just turn on airplane mode, but 2 year-olds are quite resourceful. Likewise, simply removing the SIM card does not prevent emergency calls.
The thought was for a more elegant solution.

There are people that like to reuse what they already have around instead of buying new stuff. If you think your way is better this ROM wasn't made for you no need to call it useless just cause you have no need for it. I give him props for finding a new use for a great phone instead of spending money he didn't have to spend.

That's a bit harsh dontcha think? Besides, how is it ruined? All you have to do is flash another ROM, which if you are on this site you can pretty much do in your sleep. :good:
This phone has been flashed no fewer than 100 times and probably closer to 200. It has run every version of Android and CM available as well as AOKP, MIUI and my Froyo and ICS Touch Mods. It has been flashed back to stock and loaned to more than 5 friends, returned and reflashed to something else before being loaned out again. This phone has paid for itself over and over, even though it has not been my primary phone since 2010.
Besides, 30$ baby monitors are crap as are the $150 video ones and if you use a subscription service, $15 mp3 players won't solve your needs either (or at least not very well.)

Dude your post is absolutely worthless, if you don't like this guys project then why are you in this thread, this thread is for development talk not complaining about something that you haven't/dont use. I for one have always enjoyed this guy's idea and have used it and also copied it to my other devices, it beats having ny captivate as a $200 paper weight and same can be said about my skyrocket, gs2, gs3, note which would all be useless without this form of a modification.

A quick update on battery life.
2d 1h 3m on battery.
34% remaining.
Anyone know if voodoo sound pro will work with cm10 on the cappy? The audio chip in the GS1 blows any GS2-4 outta the water sound quality wise been using mine as an ipod/bike computer for years. What's with all the hate on repurposing an old out dated device? Many thanks to dfellars! I've just been rocking it in airplane mode for the past year or so.

glad people are finding this useful. I'll try to pop in now and then to keep it updated.
Great idea! This ROM will be the solution to my problem. I use my captivate for games, music, camera and so on and i dont need the phone part. Will test soon. One request, just like you took CM10.1 and took all the "phone" stuff out (you know what i mean) , can you do it to other roms like captivating, pac, supernexus....? Thanks in advance!
So does the GPS not work AT ALL, or is it just or is it just spotty without a cell signal? I've been using my Cappy as a speedometer in my beater 4runner and for offroad navigation with Oruxmaps, but everything else about this ROM sounds exactly what I've been looking for since I upgraded to my Note II. I pulled the SIM out and it works pretty well other then the GPS sometimes taking long then expected, but if I download A-GPS data before I leave it locks on fast. I'm hoping that is the only issue with this ROM, and not that it just flat out doesn't work.
Keep up the good work, and don't listen to ignorant people who just wanna put you down for making something a bunch of people will find useful.

The GPS problem is with the Captivate, not this Rom or any other Rom.
The Captivate has always had problems with its GPS. Just the way this phone is. :thumbup:

Yeah, send me a link to the ROM you want me to tweak and I will give it a go if I have time.

Fair enough....thats all I wanted to know. I will say that ROM upgrades have made it 100 times better then it was when stock, but its still sucky compared to my Note II. Even with cell stuff turned off it will only take 10 seconds to lock on most of the time, and rarely over a minute or two.
I'll have to give this a try in the next day or two.
