[Q] Physical buttons to flip songs? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

I believe on my current HTC Evo, it was a feature of my current ROM. Ever since, I got very used to it.
So, is that something that can be done on the S4? Stock/App/ROM?
Thank you for any pointers!

Have you tried CM11? I also got used to it on my EVO and S3 using Mik's Rom and CM10 (I believe CM10 had the option).
I'm currently on Sacs custom rom 4.3 which is awesome, but would like to have the feature.

Haven't tried it yet, as I don't have a phone yet I'm at the stage of contemplating, and this is one of my personal requirements.

Yes, there are roms and mods that allow you to use the volume buttons to skip to the next track. You can install a custom rom or install wanum xposed module from the playstore and enable it through that app on the stock rom. Wanum can also remove the tethering provision so you can tether your phone. To install wanum you will need the xposed installer. Wanum has the information on how to do this in his playstore description.

or there are apps that allow you to do this. I think Poweramp is one.

1. It it possible?
2. If so, which ROM will do the trick?
Many thanks in Advance

Closest what you can get is CM7 I guess? (am using it too) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061946
Or there was something about SUPERAOSP rom >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1119075&highlight=SUPERAOSP which I dont know
Yep, CM7 is closest to stock-Android, so you should choose this ROM.

I guess because it wont be AOSP (kinda not even close)? Also cuz samsung does not just install bloatware(amongst other stuffs), but also unistalls/disables some functionality?
Just me guessing there
Touchwiz is 'hidden' deeper in system too. And the CM7-crew wants to get rid of this and just use stock-Android and CM7-features. In ny opininon it's the best ROM of all.

Installing a non-stock OS such as this means you must install apps for operating the Camera, Video, Email, and even for accessing the external SD card, correct?

Villain Rom 3.0

Ive install Villain Rom 3.0 with the new android 2.3.5 its working great. For some reason it did not have root so i flashed via odin speedmod kernel KI-T40. and with that i got root and its working great so far.
im just waiting know for the tweaks and a good blue theme for it.
I hope this helps .
If i help you just hit the thank meter!
Wrong Section its not a question .

It does have root it just didn't have superuser, downloading superuser from market would of solved root issues.

Is it that different to stock 2.3.5 though? I'm running 2.3.5, tried VR3.0 and can't see any differences at all. The guys at VR don't seem able to say what benefits it has over stock, other than some VR tweaks that aren't of use to me.

Urm one major difference stock is odexed, VR is deodexed. Allows themes and mods which for most is a big plus.

I have been using Villian 3 for several months and I love it!
Only issues that I know:
Device Encryption does not work and blocks the phone (you have to come back to original stock rom to be usable, the phone cannot boot)
Touchdown app does not sync calendar (but email works so I'm fine with it)
But battery life is awesome compared to stock one, is very fast and I you like TW like I do is great cause you will get TW experience with better battery and faster

Yes, device encryption is unfortunate...
I'd not turn it down if it worked... I decided to wait until ICS, and then see if the inbuilt stuff there works. If not, I'll have to figure it out.
But at the end of the day, I wouldn't release the rom like that, for one reason. Encryption is only good if you are using a secure rom. While VR is in many respects more secure than most ROMs due to using non public platform keys, it still permits root access.
Since exchange encryption is usually enforced by your IT admin, I don't think people should be using this ROM for work purposes to connect in, given it is rooted...
With root, you can just dump the data off the running system

What is a Good Rom for this phone.

What is a good rom to run on this phone? I have tried a few and can't seem to find anything that works with out issue. I tried the latest SlimRom which I liked but It doesn't allow me root access. So apps like titanium backup don't work I've tried I think its OEO or something of that nature and it was ok and I don't care for CM11.
I am using the stock rom that came with the phone I think that is ICS

I have never found a more functional rom than mhous33 dst stock or the avistralia deodexed mod.
All the cm, pacman, aokp...... never work FOR ME in all the capacities of stock.
About TiBu, I have always found issues with it.
I use recovery advanced restore to move apps.
You can move your stock data to both the dst & avistralia roms.

Did you try flashing supersu in twrp to get root access? Also, the most recent builds of CM11 have been running great for me with no issues and better performance than stock and CM10.2 for me. It's worth a try...

They do have use to you because you would find the info you're looking for, if you take the time to read them.
I tried out SlimKat and it seemed ok but i really don't like how little they made the fonts and the screens in it. Some of us older people need bigger. I also had to flash the SU binary update as its not added to it. I tried out the beta 2 edition. After my data resets I plan on trying the DST one that was also suggested. Sometimes not having home internet sucks.

[Q] AOSP Phone apk on tw possible?

Just like the thread stated. Or is there another apk that is is TW based that somewhat resembles ... I absolutely hate the stock tw phone dialer. Is it possible to install a AOSP phone apk on the note 3 tw rom? I have tried several different times with another roms apk's and it is always a fail.
What I ended up trying was taking the phone and contacts apk from eclipse rom and froze both of them in Ti backup and then installed them (fail). I also uninstalled both of them and installed the others (again fail). Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Any reason why you don't want to just run eclipse rom?

HTC Sense 7 Camera Install Issue

Used to have HTC Sense camera and uninstalled it. Now I try to install the SAME apk and I get app not installed. What could cause this, and how can I fix it?
I've already run clean master.

So you're telling me you've never run and APK from another device on your device? Your post was of no help. Please read my post again. There or many people running the HTC Camera/Gallery on their Note 3's. I was on of them. Just now I can't get it to install.
I'm also running Sense Home (Blinkfeed) if you wanted to make a comment on that being an HTC application running on my SAMSUNG.

I guess you never read that HTC Home Sense may require Sense 7.
I guess you don't know what Sense is. Sense (HTC) and Touchwiz (Samsung) are the user interface. They are essentially embedded in the ROM and have hooks in the kernel. Since the Verizon Note 3 has a locked bootloader you can NOT install different kernels nor can you install a ROM that isn't based on Touchwiz. And you can only install ROMs (Touchwiz based) if you're rooted.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTC_Sense
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/TouchWiz
And finally....it probably didn't install because it didn't properly uninstall. You'll have to try to delete all traces of the original .apk AND libraries it added.
Of course...you'll need root for that.
Or...you could factory reset the phone and start from scratch.
