Upload it to the site in the Edit Signature page and then use [ SIGPIC][ /SIGPIC] tags to insert it. Don't put anything in the middle of the tags.
You could also simply link to the image URL with the little mountain picture in the Edit Dialogue.

Click User CP at the top of the page. Next, under the Settings & Options header in the left sidebar, click Edit Signature. From here, you will have the option to upload an image from your computer or a website URL. Allow it to finish uploading, and then click the link next to the picture that says "Insert Signature Picture." This will add the [ SIGPIC] tags into the text box wherever your cursor happens to be. Make sure you remember to hit the "Save Signature" button, or nothing will stick.

You also need to make sure to enable your signature on posts. There is a check box when you make a new post that can toggle your sig. Make sure you have it checked. There is a similar check box in the Quick Reply box as well that needs to be checked.

I have done this before with different pictures so I actually know how to do it. My problem is not that I do not know how it is that this one specific pic that I made will not work. I know it is allowed within the parameters of the signature qualifications. But no matter what I change it will not show up. I was hoping that someone could either try it out or take a look at the file and maybe see something wrong with it that I could not.

Did you try just adding it as a linked picture instead of doing the SIGPIC? Doing it that way allows you to get rid of the size restrictions. If the image in the OP is the exact one you want to add, I can try it in mine to see if the image is the problem.

I'm trying to have sig too. I cant find anywhere. Help !

Anywhere between 8 and 15 posts, unlocks the ability to have a sig. Keep postingl it'll unlock itself eventually.

There's no "come on" about it. Large and distracting signatures are not tolerated here. As you were warned, if you don't fix it, then a mod will fix it for you. All we're asking you to do is resize it to a smaller, more manageable size. If that isn't good enough, then it will be removed completely. Your choice.

I've decided to continue the work that jake044 has started.
(I hope this is OK, he did state that if we want to we can continue it)
The images that are his will have [jake044] next to the name.
If you want, I can make you a custom one. Just give me a request
Guide on how to make your own will be in the second post.

How to make your own:
Banner
Template:
Font: Continuum Light
Now, when you have to have 2 line text (Recognised contributor for example) you have the font size at 18pt.
When the text is on one line (R.C.) the font size is 32pt
The colour for the text is the same as the XDA part on the left. But if you want the RGB colour numbers, it's 255,210,0.
Then just play around with the location, until you find the one that suits you
Avatar
Template:
The text size for two-lined text is 14pt
For one lined text it's 25pt.
And, like above, play around with the layout a bit, to find the one that you like.

This is cool buddy. Thanks

Wow, neat. Thanks for this.

Good job, thanks for doing this. Was it due to this or did you see it by chance? I rated it up and added a couple of thread tags, you might want to add some to make the thread more searchable.

Awesome sig. Using it now. Thanks!

I personally used Photoshop, but you can use a good free image editing program called Paint.net
Once you've installed that and loaded the image in, click the small Town in the window on the left.

[CLOSED][GUIDE] HOW TO POST: Understanding the UI in posting

Hello New Users! (I prefer the term "New User" rather than "noob" ) This is a thread on some functions you can see whenever you make a post on a thread.
So let's get started!
First thing's first.. you gotta click on POST REPLY
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You will then see this

8 YOUTUBE TAGS
-For all your awesome yt tags Tags are things you put down that are related to your video and will help people find your video easier. It is like categories almost. More info: HERE
9 PHP WRAP
-This is commonly used when you post codes. It goes a little something like this
10 HTML TAGS
-HTML tags are keywords (tag names) surrounded by angle brackets. Here's for more INFO11 CODE WRAP

Yes, its because the image URL is linked from attachments. I don't know how, but the URL (in attachments) changes from time-to-time. ie,
the original url : http://dl.xda-developers.com/attachdl/69808bc1673cb4d05bfb5048e208c9b0/506d83a1/1/3/7/4/9/4/2/asd.jpg
Now the URL is : http://dl.xda-developers.com/attachdl/fb23e0b5ec01b7962ec67603493c4dae/506da0aa/1/3/7/4/9/4/2/asd.jpg
So it would be better if the image is uploaded in Image hosting servers like Imgur or Imageshack or even dropbox etc.

Hi all,

I was following the O2x development since I've discovered the galaxy note a few weeks ago.
I'd like to thank all the developers for their great work!
Good going (I'm a poker player too by the way)

Sprint Native Tethering...smali experts, please!

Let's get this figured out.
Here's the download link to the decompiled smali file that has the verification check in it. (This checks if you're subscribed to Sprint's Hotspot service.)
Here's examples of how it has been hacked on previous devices (both Samsung).
Example 1
Example 2
If a dev knows how to reverse engineer Java, please take a look and see what's needed to be done.
Thanks and hopefully we can get this working on stock ROMs soon.

Why not give it a nice little bounty? I am offering $40 for the developer who figures this out and can apply it to current stock ROMS on the Sprint variant. This can be delivered in any fashion you wish whether it be Paypal or money order but must be tested and proven BEFORE anything can be discussed further! Hopefully this could help motivate!!

I'm in for $40 also.

There is no Tethering.apk. it's integrated into the LGSettings.apk.
I'll recompile with this one and see if it works shortly.

Alright. I found something somewhat interesting. Not sure if Sprint's involved in this method, but there's another file called Tethering$EntitlementCheckService.smali file that has a lot of entitlement checks. Most of which appear to be AT&T checks, but some are for different carriers. Can't tell which is Sprint or how to disable them.
You'll find the Tethering$EntitlementCheckService.smali in the same folder you'll find Tethering.smali. I've tried numerous different workarounds but without understanding how things work, I'm taking shots in the dark.

I have been doing the same in this area for 2 weeks now. I have actually had tether a few times and used for an hour or so. But something changes when i shut off tether and try to re-enable which causes a reboot or breaks my phone.
I can't stop trying even though I know this is above my pay grade.. Glad smarter people are involved now.

Please also try replacing TetherNetwork.smali with this one in services.jar and using stock Tethering.smali. If it doesn't work, I may need logcats as finding the activity name for the 'not allowed' dialog will be a pain.

The not allowed dialog is in the LGsettings.apk under res/values/strings.xml, if that helps.
EDIT: I'm uploading the decompiled LGSettings.apk now and will link shortly.
Testing your tethernetwork.smali.
EDIT2: Tethernetwork.smali didn't work.
Here's the download now to all of the files that should be related to Sprint tether. (It contains LGSettings.apk, and Services.jar. Both Decompiled for you.)
Uploading logcat as we speak.

I will take a look in there - if the file also contains the ID used by android to reference the dialog, we're golden.

Thanks for your support, this is just a little bit messier than what I usually do (cracks for removing root checks or *ahem* activating premium features).

Much respect for trying...considering you don't even own this device. I'll be more than happy to continue testing your attempts, though.

So far I know the intent that launches the dialog is "lge.tethernetwork.action.NETWORK_ERROR_DIALOG". This does not sound well, but let's see if it really comes from the network.

I've hit a pretty big roadblock.
_L5:
if (Tethering.access$1900(_fld1) != null) {
Tethering.access$1900(_fld1).showAuthErrorDialog();
return flag;
showAuthErrorDialog triggers the dialog you're getting when trying to activate tethering. However this block is part of a switch-case sequence which is not fully decompiled (tried with 2 different Java decompilers), so I cannot grab the value of whatever is checked for this block to run.
I tried JD-GUI and JAD. Anyone know of any others?

Which file is it and I'll attempt to get it decompiled for you. Is there a way to change the script there to just remove the check so it doesn't refer to that dialog?

Sure there is, in fact I could have done this on a higher level - but I believe this only stops the dialog, and the tethering will still not work. It's worth a shot though. The file I was talking about is Tethering$TetherInterfaceSM$InitialState.smali in services.jar .
I removed the dialog in TetherNetwork.smali. Give it a try: https://www.dropbox.com/s/kseb5y9j113g3xe/TetherNetwork.smali

Yes, after Default application I have Battery

Not sure then. Guess you have to wait for someone else to respond. In the mean time try using that live chat with a Samsung techy, maybe they can actually help you on something like this.

I have the lte model as well and the "users" option is mysteriously missing from the menu but luckily its an easy fix...all u have to do is edit your build.prop and add the line "fw.max_users=5" (not sure but I THINK u can use any number) WITHOUT the quotations to the bottom of the file then save & reboot. I did also edit my secsettings.apk although I don't think that's actually needed for this particular mod but if the above doesnt work then I will upload it for u...on a side note I'm also working on a rom for us lte users but just don't expect anything fancy. I'm simply trying to add back all of the features that I have found to be missing in our tablets but I ran into a SLIGHT problem along the way...I BROKE MY FRICKIN SCREEN! :crying: The bad part is its NOT the glass but the actual lcd that's cracked...the irony is I actually fix this stuff for a living but the device is so new that I cant even find the part which I'm sure will cost an astronomical amount whenever it is. I apologize about the rant but needed to get that off my chest...hope that helps though :highfive:

LTE version , no USERS
