Hello there - First Post for me!
Have stock ROM from Tmo TP2 - The Finance Tab was working OK (stock ticker one). However, when I loaded Activesync for my Corporate setup it doesn;t work anymore. When I click (touch) the tab it doesn't do anything. Also, in the bottom of tab it used to have a Yahoo Finance logo.. now it has 2 logos (partly overlapping).
I kind of like the Finance Tab. Any suggestions? Has anybody have the same problem?

Now I know touchFlo 3D isn't customizable (yet), but there are many difference's between the versions 2.1 and 2.5.
So what should TouchFlo 3D have? Since my immagination isn't so great and to keep it realistic my preferred version is a combination of what is available today:
Start screen with weather and apps/contact/bookmark/widget list like in TF3D 2.5.
The Contact list from the 2.5 version. Scrolling through you favorite contacts in the 2.1 version just isn't convinient.
The same message tab, but the message application from the 2.1 version. The 2.5 version has the option to instantly change you message in a mms. Also adding the contact you want to send it to isn't convinient. It comes up with email adresses. If I wanted to send an email I would have picked: write email. NExt to that the 2.5 version is slow when it comes to text messaging. (ofcourse the 2.5 version isn't ready yet).
Email as it is with both version. (in the email app, they should delete the wiping feature, because scrolling sideways is irritating have to press the "enable scrolling" text). Just put the option go to next/prvious message in the menu.
Calander app as in version 2.5. I noticed I didn't even use the other calander views then month and day, but the agenda view sometimes did came inhandy.
The internet tab should be as in 2.5, where you can see the preload pages, but it should work with opera. As nowe I am able to set opera as default, but the preload pages still don't work.
The weather tab is ok. I'd like to tap on the sepperate days and see the morning, day, evening forecast.
The music tab in 2.5 is great. The same for the media (video and pics) tab. But it's all just a bit to sloppy. It should be really fast to be convinient.
The stock tab, for me I don't use it. But it seems ok to me.
Ofcourse this all should work in landscape. 2.5 doesn't work very well in landscape.
One more feature I would like to build in is an easy way to make apps like twitter/facebook/gps navigation/office/messenger work withing TF3D. Each with individual tabs. Maybe you get to much tabs, but then there should be a way to make a second layer with apps. Like a messaging tab. When you slided over there a new slider comes a available with the general slider minimizing. There you can slide between skype/msn messenger/ twitter etc.
This would require a lot of memory though.
So what do you think?
What would make touchflo better? What features should be added?
the worst shortcoming of touchflo3d is that its desktop cannot be cusomized.
this is very pitty indeed,those designers are dumb....
I like your tab within tab idea. It would be great to have a PIM tab. Inside would be sub-tabs for calendar, tasks and notes. Probably just wishful thinking though. But anyway, I'm not terribly bothered with what we've got so far.
On my HTC Desire I could tap the location field in my calendar view and it'll open up gmaps and go straight to the location. The Galaxy s2 doesn't seem to be able to do that, are there any mods or apps that will let you?
replacement calendar
Jorte Calendar does what you need.
It's a full calendar replacement. It's free in Marketplace...
https://market.android.com/details?id=jp.co.johospace.jorte&feature=search_result
RXP, I had the same issue and looked around a bit. It seems the Samsung calendar app simply doesn't have this functionality. Jorte, mentioned in the post above mine, works well. I have also tried Calengoo and Business Calendar and both work well. I am hoping that eventually someone will work out how to mod the Samsung app itself though, since none of the replacement apps match the Samsung ones for appearance, even when colours are tweaked.
Damn, that's incredibly frustrating. Might have to import an apk from my Desire!
RXP, did you have any success getting an alternative app working? I am still not happy with the alternatives I have tried so keen to find out what other people are using. The ideal solution would still be a tweak to the Samsung app so it fits in with the rest of the phone, but I must admit I wouldn't know where to start.
Alternatively, does anyone know how to get the standard google calendar app working on the S2? Searching turns up instructions for the Galaxy S but not the S2.
Thanks to anyone who is able to help.
Partial solution
I have been trying to find a solution for this and found a couple of things. It seems a lot of alternative calendar apps use the system calendar app for their event view, which means that with the samsung calendar in place you cannot get clickable links even with something like Calendar Pad installed.
I was able to get the cyanogen mod calendar apk working (looks like it is pretty much stock gingerbread) after backing up and uninstalling the touchwiz calendar with titanium backup. There is a graphical glitch on some views where a circle appears in the top left corner but other than that it seems to work well. it also allows alternative apps like calendar pad to load the standard android event view which has clickable links.
Unfortunately I can still not get this to work in the samsung app to keep a consistent look to the apps but thought I would post in case this helped anyone.
I was missing the same functionality, installed 'Business Calendar Free'
- works a treat
I had a look at business calendar and the functionality was there. I am just trying to find some way to get the same functionality in the touchwiz app to keep a consistent theme across the phone. Is there any way to make this change or a dummies guide to exiting the aol?
Hey everyone,
A couple of inquiries...
Startup Processes/Applications
I am looking for a list of processes/applications that have descriptions so I can determine if I can disable them or not. I can't seen to find anything useful and wondered if there was anything out there. I am currently using Startup Manager (Free) to disable the apps. Any ideas?
I am sticking with the default TMo ROM for now. I don't see a big need to move. I have it configured how I was, for now, and I'd rather not do that all over again. The only option I would consider is a move to a bare bones TMo ROM or something like that with most of the bloat out of there.
Freshly Rooted... sort of
I've got my TMo Samsung Galaxy S3 w/ Android 4.3 freshly rooted yesterday. The process wasn't as smooth as I would have liked but for the most part it worked. I had downloaded CF-Auto-Root and use ODIN to transfer the CF-Auto-Root-d2tmo-d2tmo-sght999.tar.md5 file and using SuperUser.zip. I had run into KNOX issues and these were only fixed until after I allowed "Unknown Sources" (under Settings > More > Security) to install the superuser.apk manually to bypass KNOX. Rebooting, SuperUser still doesn't start with the 'stopped' message. So then I have to go through the process again to allow "Unknown Sources" and reinstall the APK. Any ideas?
Also, I've been able to allow some apps to work, whilst others don't seem to work. For instance, I've tried to use Boot Animation * Root to change the Boot Animation, that seems to have an issue changing the file(s). Also, in ES File Explorer, I can't change system\bin\gsiff_daemon to help lower the Android OS process to use less power. Any ideas?
This is an awesome community and I'm glad to start being a part of it.
Thanks,
Johnathan
Thus far I'm down to about 1% drain an hour, what I've done...
Hey guys,
So, I've been continuing to research and change things to get the battery drain lessened. I am about down to 1% drain per hour if left alone. This is what I've done, any further suggestions would be appreciated:
Turned down the display to the lowest setting unless I needed it higher.
Turned off any Live Wallpapers... just using a black background.
With all the stuff on the screen, I can't see it anyway.
CPU Tuner Profiles
Screen On
Governor = Full Speed
Max Freq = 1512
Min Freq = 594 (Now my phone is more responsive when using it.)
All other settings = leave unchanged
Screen Off
Governor = Save Battery
Max Freq = 486
Min Freq = 486 (One option higher than the lowest setting (384) so it wakes up quicker.)
All other settings = leave unchanged
WifiScheduler
Power On Daily = 0100
Power Off Daily = 0700
This allows radio comms drain to be lessened since it is using local WiFi. Plus any updates are downloaded.
Disabled Background Wifi Scanning
Settings > Connection > WiFi > Menu > Advanced > Always allow scanning = unchecked
Startup Manager (Free)
Disabled User Apps
Aldiko
Amazon MP3
Authenticator
Carbon
Dolphin Browser
Dropbox
Dropsync
Evernote
Facebook
Groupon
HeyZap
iHeartRadio
MortPlayer Audio Books
Pandora
Pry-Fi
Skype
T-Mobile My Account

As an added benefit, it also charges faster.
My next step is to see if I can reduce the power used by the attenae to reduce consumption there as well.
Anyone else have any ideas?
Thanks,
Johnathan
Perhaps you should go through De-Bloating. De-Bloat is a process where you remove manufacturer added unnecessory programs and recover space and Battery life.
Here's one of several Guides on programs that you don't need to keep.
Once the un-needed programs are removed, you can remove from startup among those remaining.

Greenify works wonders for me, both on my S3 and my Xoom. It's not your average battery saving app, it "hibernates" apps that you choose when they're not active, instead of keeping them in memory, which helps keep your phone fast over time, as well as saving battery. After just a couple hours, my Xoom used to be bogged down and it would turn into a battery hog, and I thought it was just because of how old it is. But since I installed Greenify, it's almost as fast as the day I got it, and the battery life is even better than that. Also, I use the BootManager Xposed mod to disable start-up apps, dunno how it compares to the app you're using, but you might wanna check it out. Good luck.
Edit: Also, as far as root goes, I believe there's 5 or 6 different apps you have to remove/freeze to stop Knox. You might try flashing a de-Knoxed stock ROM, that'd almost surely get rid of your root problems.
Doing Better.
Hey everyone,
As a continual work to improve battery life on my SGS3, I've decided to uninstall as many apps can I can on my rooted stock rom. Who knew that by removing extra Google apps would improve battery life!
Recently uninstalled:
Google Goggles
Google Text-to-Speech
Google Translate
Google Voice
SCouldStarter
(Others but I don't remember what they were.)

I also have an app that will auto-kill apps when I turn the phone screen on. Don't remember which one it is though, I think it is Android Tuner Free... I also use Startup Manager Free to disable apps during startup.
About that application reference, where are the APKs stored and if you simply remove them using a file explorer, does that stop it from running and 'uninstall' it?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35103966&postcount=2
With the above done, my phone boots from start to finish in 58 seconds (According to Startup Manager Free and that's down by about 28 seconds from previous reboots using the same app.) and it is much more responsive as one would expect with less running in the background.
Updated my 2nd post list of Turned Off apps.
Could anyone let me know which of the below items are safe to disable. The below are the pre-installed applications:
Calender
Calender Storage
ConfigUpdater
Contacts Storage
Gallery
Google Contacts Sync
Google One Time Init.
Google Partner Setup
Google Play services
Google Services Framework
Media Storage
MusicFX
Omcap
Android System
Atci_service
Cell Broadcasts

Hi
I have the S9. On Chrome on my desktop, I have a little bookmark icon called "Kill Sticky" that when I click it, it gets rid of the annoying cookie message that pops up on virtually every website I visit (the one about how a company uses your data, blah blah, that you either click Ok or have to look through it) - https://alisdair.mcdiarmid.org/kill-sticky-headers/.
Is there any kind of option like that that can be added to the Samsung Internet app on the S9?
Thanks
