Build NoMoarPowah for Galaxy 3

Can someone build NoMoarPowah like app for Galaxy 3?
NoMoarPowah is an app that automatically boots the (battery drained) phone in to android when connected to a charger. It is an amazing app but it is limited to a handful of Samsung devices only. I wish to expand the scope of this app. So, is there anyone who knows how to port this thing on Galaxy 3?
Post your questions/ concerns below.
SOLVED: Found this feature in SPICE MI 270

every android phone including our galaxy 3, boots up into android when it was switched off automatically due to low power and then connected to the charger !
why would we need an app ?
EDIT: And this is just a request so it should have been posted in the general or q&a section.
im sorry to say but even if you ported this app, it belongs to the apps section only. by no means it belongs to the dev section
This is only an advice, dont take it serious

Hey Ajay thanks for your reply. Though my thread is a request, the objective is to look for an answer to this issue. I appreciate your comments. Looking forward for more healthy discussions. Thanks!
BTW, I own Galaxy 3 for the past 1.5 yrs and i have not come across this phenomenon that you have mentioned in your post. I will surely try this and post back my experience.
Cheers!

ill be glad to hear

this sounds interesting, but as ajay said, this section is for active android development, and you will most likely get more answers if posted in the right place (themes and apps). Thanks for posting though. I would suggest you ask the mod to move this thread for you. I hope someone can help you with this, good luck!

Sorry!
EDIT2: But i don't understand the use of the app. It replaces the "boring charge animation". Never required for me.

True

There is no source for this app... it is quite difficult to hack it and make compatible...
I know there are some tools to decompile apk into java source code but i'm a bit afraid to break some copyright rules... I do not want to do it, anyway this app would be useful man!

WOW ! i saw the screenshots !!
im amazed that this app really uses the touchscreen in powered off mode !!
quite amazed and now, into the modding/porting level..

I have extracted some files from the apk. I can share them if you want.
Note: Please use these files strictly for reference only.

You can ask Chainfire(the developer of this app). He will surely give the source code

I don't think there is anything bad in extracting files and share them until they do not came from paid apps.

Not going to happen, as it's a paid app.
The app should work, it's the images that need to be resized to fit our screen.
Anyone wanna give it a try, resize the images in assets folder in the apk, or in /system/nomoarpowah (after you've installed the app and install it's files), and then reboot.
Even it it doesn't work (unlikely), it won't do any harm

I have tried contacting him several times but he does not respond to mails et all. He does not even responds to posts in his own threads. I do not think he is going to be of any help.

You should thread carefully even if it isn't a paid app. Just because an app (or any piece of software) is free that doesn't automatically mean you (legally) have the right to decompile and use it's source (code).

It seems to me that you didn't even give him a full day to respond, that's definitely not enough time. I understand that you are probably excited and anxious, but you still have to give him time.
I don't think work on this should be started before hearing from chainfire, I'd also suggest that a dev (preferably recognized) that would work on this be the one to contact him and find some kind of comprise (this is an ad or pro app so a compromise is probably necessary if chainfire himself won't be working on the app). Perhaps that "our" dev can release an ad free version solely on xda (that will only work with our phone) and that chain fire can release a version with ads on the market. That's just a suggestion, who knows what chainfire will say.
Anyways I know I'm interested in how he got it to work and would love to be able to view the code someday (when I have enough android knowledge to understand the code)

I do not mean to hurt or misjudge anyone but the truth is chainfire is not even responding to his consumers. If you go to his threads, you will see people waiting to get support from him but unfortunately he aint responding. In such a scenario, it is difficult to contact him.
What you suggest is the right way to approach this issue. But someone will need to take extra efforts to reach him.

I don't think that decomiling an app is something illegal both if the ap is free or aid. It becames illegal if you edit, recompile and distribute it.
Otherwise any tool like apk tools, dex2jar etc would be illegal.
Anyway i gave a look at the code and i found it a little difficult to understand. Well not difficult, i mean, a dev shoul spen a big tima to understand ot and make approriate changes... i do not have all of this time, but i can help if someone starts to work on this.

It's good news for us (the i9500 holders) that he's concentrating on the i9500 ATM

All the versions of S4 are running with CM 10.1... But why not for I9500?

Gangstar Vegas High Graphics Mod

I don't know if this has been posted before but i'm going to share it.
This tweak/patch makes the Graphics look so much better but with a bit of lag. :/
It adds blur effect, reflection, more cars and pedestrians.
Install Instructions
1.Download the File
2.Make a backup of your original Profile.bin just incase you want to switch back.
3.Copy the modified Profile.bin to \Android\obb\com.gameloft......GloftGGHM and you're done!
EDIT: Seeder helps reduce the lag a bit.

The Galaxy S3 users would not have gone searching through the Galaxy Tab 10.1 forum to find something that works on the S3.
All the threads in Galaxy Tab sub-forum are related to Galaxy Tab and therefore a Galaxy S3 user has nothing to do there because most of the ROMS/Kernels/tweaks will not work for S3. That leads them into searching on the S3 Sub-forum where they can find the mods that work for Galaxy S3.

KitKat ROMS - black screen issue solution?

I wanted to throw this out into one of the dev threads for the new KitKat roms under development, but I'm too new to post there. Hoping someone with a little more seniority will post this over there if it is useful...
It sounds like there has been a roadblock with the display drivers for the Glacier and a new version of OpenGL (EGL) required in KitKat, causing black screens in some apps.
If any devs read this, I noticed they appear to have solved the issue over on the "[ROM][21-11-2013] AOSP KitKat 4.4 for Nexus S - alpha Build 3" forum. Its all completely greek to me, but it looks like from the threads that the CM team has figured out a workaround, and it sounds like it may not be phone specific.
Good luck! Thanks to all the devs for being awesome! Particularly Evervolv/elginsk8r, love the Evervolv 4.3, can't wait to update to 4.4!
Moderators, feel free to delete this if it is useless information. It looked positive, but I could be wrong.

Current still not have newer version to fix, So you need reference before update . This version not still stable, it's testing process. I think so!

Thanks for this information. I'm sure Coderzs and Elgin will look into it.
If you want you could try and swap out those drivers in one of the builds and tell us how it goes.

I would if i had a clue what I was doing. I don't understand the first thing about what they were talking about in that thread, other than "we fixed it!".
Page 40 of the thread mentioned above (can't link yet) will show what I mean. Here are some excerpts:
cdesai and klusark found a patch in the Chromium trunk which fixes the WebView rendering bug on PVR devices and backported it to the Chromium snapshot that's part of 4.4. (The fact that it's part of the mainline Chromium code also means that we shouldn't face this problem again when upgrading to future Android releases.)
