I had the last rom toolbox (Liberty Toolbox), it just got updated. The whole app has new look, more tool, and just freaking awsome.
It replaces the top 10 tools you can currently get. I'm not saying saying forget about those guys, but instead of having 2 ROM Tools, or 2 App Backup Tools, you can have all the top ones, then this as your one-stop. This one apps has EVERY possible tool you can think off. I mean it, every tool.
Nice interface, snappy ui, easy to navigate too. It's worth the 5$. I promise you won't be disappointed. I'm not affiliated with the app at all, but this is something that every android used should have in their phone.
Heres some of the things:
Rom Manager
-You can download/update Rom things, i.e. SU app.
App Manager
-Backup/Freeze/Uninstall/Move to SD/Share etc..
-Come pre-sorted, System, user, etc..
Root Explorer
-Full features, Tar/Zip, search, Permissions, everything
Scripter
-Make your own, or use presets
AdBlocker
-Block Ads, Porn, Casion, Risky, Custom IP, individually
Configure Apps2SD
-Auto, Internel, etc
CPU Sliders
-Governor, CPU Min/Max
Build.prop
-Tweaks, Editor
Auto Memory Manager
-Min/Free Values
SD Boost
-Set Read/Write
Sysctl Tweaks
-Min Free Kbytes, Dirty Ratio, etc
Font Installer
-150+ to Choose From
Boot Animations
-100+ to choose from
Boot Logo Changer
-200+ to choose from
Theme Chooser Themes
-Hundreds to Choose From
I have the Pro, there is a free edition if you want to test it first.
Let me know your thoughts!
-Maniac
I have the free version, and I agree, the app is great. I like adjusting my screen density and fonts, and having just one app to do the both of those is good enough, but with all of the added abilities granted through the app, it's definitely one to pick up.
@Maniac - dude what features are working well on your T959D? Can you download OTA ROMs through it.
I know this is old, but just to add my two cents, the pro version is the first tool I have bought for my rooted EVO 4g, it has more bells and whistles than I use, but that wont mean I wont, it is just the tool has more in it than I currently understand the use of, so as I learn more, I am sure it will prove even more valuable as it has at my level of knowledge already.
BUMP
The whole app is going through a major rewrite process currently, and is becoming even better with each update!
Just changed my font using ROM Toolbox.
It's powered by ANDROID 4.1..1 JellyBean AOKP ran by Devil Kernel 1.6.0
Yea ROM toolbox is awesome with a great developed behind the wheel

Just thought I might share this experience for those who are foolish enough like me. You must understand I am not a developer but I love to tinker.
While most are busy porting apps, wallpapers, ringtones, etc from the Galaxy S4, I thought why don't I port the Galaxy Note 8 instead. So with a bunch of foolishness, I downloaded the Galaxy Note 8 N5100XXBMC9_N5100OXABMC8_DBT Firmware, extracted, deodexed and zipaligned it and copied all the system/apps and the system/frameworks & system/etc/permissions and a lot of system/lib files & /media and /fonts folder, packed it in a pre-made note1 rom, edited the build.prop and set lcd density to 213 (as this is the density that the note 8 is using) and flashed it thru recovery. Luckily it booted and reached the Setup screen showing some errors which I ignored and just went thru the whole setup wizard sometimes rebooting itself and going back to the setup screen again until I finally made it thru the google setup page and eventually the homescreen and greeted with a very nice wallpaper. At this point, the systemui is not working, nor does wifi but telephony works so does mms. Gallery, Video Player, Music Player, File Manager, Splanner with pefect fitting Calendar widget, Email, Alarm, World Clock, airview and some other extra apps - all working fine with few minor bugs. Calculator, Snote, Quick Command, screenshot not working.
So I immediately tried to activate multiwindows which is the feature I am after. Like the note1 and note2, just long pressing the back button activates the multiwindow bar. There are two modes to the multiwindow bar, dual mode and cascade mode. While the note 10.1 uses the systemui traybar to show multiwindow apps, the Note 8 uses the flashbar tray to launch multiwindow apps. There are some differences as you can see in the video.
There are a lot of work to be done for a full port specially the systemui and wifi. I am not sure which framework files or lib files are hardware related so I am not sure if it is worth the effort to make a full port at all. But I learned some things doing this foolish thing and might give others the courage to try things, to learn, to explore even in the face of failure. I am still as noob as when I started learning about android 4 months ago. There is so much to learn and I am having a great time being part of an open system and a great community like xda. I would say there is so much more to learn here than in school. For all the things I have learned in a span of 4 months here in xda, I would like to say THANK YOU.

In the meantime, I have uploaded the Note 8 Apps HERE for those who want to use it on stock note1 rom preferably at 213 Phablet or Tablet UI.
I believe we have a good dev here that can help you to port..hope so..:fingers-crossed:
Thank you Xperiacle, thanks for keeping our note alive with your mods. Thanks you for all!

"IF" and when I have a stable enough port of the Note 8 ROM, I will definitely SHARE it here in xda. At the moment it is pretty unstable and I am having second thoughts about it. Using it for a while, there is nothing really special about it except of course the multiwindow feature. It uses a mostly WHITE theme which is not good for battery life and eyesight. Apart from the new flashbar multiwindow, most Note 8 stock apps can run on stock JB note1 using 213 dpi like TW Launcher, Galllery, VideoPlayer, MMS, Email, Task Manager, Music Player, Splanner, Clock and Weather Widgets, File Manager, Awesome Note, Flipboard, Svoice, Chrome, etc. Gesturepad does not run but there are better alternatives on the PlayStore. Polaris Office tablet runs well on the port but on the stock note1 rom, it doesn't run probably because it is checking some signature. Readers hub now detects whether device is rooted or not and does not run on rooted roms. Snote tablet does not work but the Snote ported by arsaw for GS3 works well enough. As the systemui is not working I could not test the Reading Mode feature - it could be something that can be ported from android.policy. The rest are just minor stuff.
Talking about the multiwindow feature - the default uses the same native multiwindow as the stock multiwindow on the note1 and note2 which is the multiwindow feature shown on commercials and Note 8 review sites. But once you delete the com.sec.feature.multiwindow.phone.xml file in permissions folder, you will get multiwindow just like the one on the video I have shown which is better of course as apps can be maximised and restored to window mode back and forth - which is already available on note1 using my floating multiwindow and tablet ui mods.
What are your thoughts, Guys? What feature do you think is worth porting/using a Note 8 Rom?
P.S. I have uploaded the base ROM and it is very unstable at the moment but it lets you experience first hand what I have been talking about. It is only for those who know what they are doing. So if you are interested to try, send me a PM and I will share the link. But a BIG WARNING, I am not responsible for any damage that may result in flashing it. It uses Philz xxlsz 4.35 kernel which do not have the bootloop fix but it's the one I use because I dont get bootloops with it. As for the Note 8 stock apps for those who are using 213 phablet or tablet ui modes, I will upload them later.
For anyone interested the stock n5100 (note 8) download link from Sam mobile is http://www.hotfile.com/dl/200082066/9df9e66/N5100XXBMC9_N5100OXABMC8_DBT.zip.html

I posted the link because many of the apk files themselves are useful alongside with xposed framework and per app DPI settings.
But since YOU are so concerned I will post a warning.

xperiacle, mods are your forte. Roms are bound to present stability issues. Mods also give flexibility for improvisations and enhance the learning experience. so more mods please
Some updates...
I have managed to port fully working Snote with idea sketch with more features than the note2 snote app. Also comes with S Page widget. A better looking Quick Snote.
I also managed to port the keyboard with three layouts - qwerty, floating, split - and with awesome handwriting recognition using vision objects engine.
So far, Splanner with handwriting mode perfectly working with perfectly fitting widget on Homescreen at 213 dpi.
Polaris Office tablet working with some watermarks but can be hacked with smali edit I guess.
All ported apps will be shared once I finished pinpointing the necessary lib files.

Hi Xperiacle, this is great! I admire the SNOTE you provide.
Just noticed it's UI is clipped (undo redo arrows) and possibly other controls. Was not successful changing the DPI for this app, also no problem changing it for others. Any suggestion how to change it?
Also - don't you have additional languages for the hand writing recognition, particularly Czech?
Thanks a lot!
Is it possible just to get that keyboard?

Hello,
Is it possible to run games in fullscreen mode, hiding the navigation bar, with a stock but unlocked and rooted N4?
I say that because i´ve seen custom roms with option to hide navigation bar.
Their are a few apps that do this with rooted phones.
Look on Google play

Add this line to the end of the build.prop and use LMT Launcher found on XDA.

It makes no sense to root nexus. If you want to modify your phone find a ROM that suits you. Otherwise you'll be dealing with a bunch of petty hacks.
That lmt thing plus mainkeys=1 for instance. Who does that? Who buys a flagship phone and ****s it up like that, makes it unusable for regular use.
If you want full screen for games you want to make sure of two things: it must be easily switchable off, you need pie for navigation, which at this point is standard for pretty much all ROMs.

No sens to root nexus if i dont use a custom rom?
I dont see this way.
Many apps only runs in rooted phones, so i must root. I prefer using customs rom and kernel.
Thank you for the tips.
The easiest way is to install ParanoidAndroid
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
try this app out. i use it only when i playing games. you can enable and disable it whenever you want. since i hate the buttons on screen when playing games and i dont care for pie, this is the best option imo. it will show a little button in the bottom left or right hand corner (your choice) then you can set the button so when you click it, it will go back and if you hold the button then it will disable the full screen mode. its pretty awesome when playing games.

i meant rooting stock. if you use a rom you don't have these issues because all roms are equipped for fullscreen/gaming.
roms are rooted by default so that goes without saying.
One word ... or is it 2? ... anyway ParanoidAndroid. Get it rooted, get it flashed, and you'll be a very happy person
I got a 20 dollar google play store card but don't know what to get with it any good rooting apps you guys can recommend or car games

Rooting apps or apps in general? Here are a few straight out of my head:
Nova Launcher Prime - absolutely the best launcher I ever used. It has everything, a bucketload of features (even more in the Prime version), blazing speed, a great user community, and one of the most hardworking devs I've ever encountered (beta versions come out almost daily).
Tapatalk - if you use forums, very handy app, makes forums work like a charm on the phone (typing from it as we speak)
Root Explorer - though there are free root explorers out there, I find Root Explorer to be the most stable and it just works every time.
Titanium Backup - a must have if you flash ROMs and change bases often, this app can be of invaluable help.
Mobile ODIN - the same as Titanium, allows you to flash stuff without the need for a PC.
Tune In Radio Pro - the free version is great, but the Pro has no ads.
WeatherPro - pretty reliable forecast app (but with horribly ugly widgets though).
If you like music and listen to it a lot, consider some song-spotting apps like Soundhound or Shazam Encore. Also, if the stock player is not up to your everyday needs, check out PlayerPro and PowerAMP.
That's all I have for now. I would also recommend Smart Remote, but it's a bit out from the other apps' league because of its price (10$).

Also should mention, the best voice dialer is voice speed dial by cyberon, the reason is, is you use your own voice for voice tags for contacts rather than rely on speech recognition that 1. Uses internet data and 2. Doesn't work most of the time.

Hello everyone,
This is my first time posting and I am fairly new to android, ROMS, development, etc.
Please forgive me if I ask any dumb questions or ones that have already been asked before, but so far, I haven't been able to find too much info on this.
I recently flashed the Temasek CM11 WO3 tweaks ROM and it worked amazing, however,as I'm sure everyone knows, there is no support for things like Air Command, air view, air gestures, etc. First, I was wondering if there are any mods/add ons that would be able to make use of this functionality, and second, I was wondering if it would be possible to place stock Samsung apps (snote3, action memo, etc) on the SD card and subsequently install them while running an AOSP ROM like the temasek one mentioned above? Would that work or would it just be a pointless endeavor?

Hello
Stock Samsung apps require samsung frameworks in order to work on your phone. In other words, you can't have samsung and AOSP at the same time. This is why you don't see samsung and HTC apps available for other devices, as they will not work without being excessively hacked to work with other frameworks
In an analogy.. the bonnet on a ferrari will not fit on my mazda3 without being hacked to fit, to work on the different framework

Been using Samsung along with AOSP based roms for years now and haven't missed Samsung S-Pen apps a sec.
Nice, and what apps do you suggest for jotting notes down using the Spen? I was under the impression that Evernote supported it but I was never able to find this option in the program.
I haven't used Evernote in a while, so things might have changed. And I'm on SlimKat ROM, so I guess I'll need additional software to make Spen work.

You could try Handrite, there's a free and pro version on the Play store.
You can have multiple notebooks in which to save your notes (on the free version you can only have 3 notebooks) and there are multiple options to customise your text (colours, underline, you can mix your writing with regular text input, etc)
evernote. handwriting
I use evernote pretty regularly. When you creat page you can go to the top There is a plus symbol at the top. Press this and gives you drop down menu. May eed to hit more handwriting is there.
They are correct spen features must use touchwiz. You can use a launcher that makes device feel different and aircommands etc will work. I am running a rom based off i317 and n7105 hybrid that have these options. Great thing is that you can sync snote with evernote so can open with aircommands and then will sink to evernote. This way you can view on another device like computer.
The advantage to slim rom is removal bloatware makes cor a smooth runnig device. Oems sometimes push their own without actually working to optimize like they should. Poor battery etc.
If you want something similar to aircommands you could try something like pie controls. Have it set to launch an app.
You might try something like papyrus. I believe it has setting to use finger or active pen in menus.
Enjoy!
