Reboot- phone powers off fully and then boots up.
Hot reboot- phone remains on and reloads configuration files. (Ie build.prop init.d init.rc etc)
someone else may be able to give a more detailed description

A hot reboot means the shell restarts, but the file system remains active.

Hot reboots are typically used when you install a custom status bar icon, mods, and other things pertaining to the shell.

Confusion.
Alright, so I can use hot reboot when i modified some system files while the phone was on, like build.prop or anything like that and reload those files to apply the mods without actually shutting the device down? Sounds cool! Who invented this idea? That guy deserves a thanks!

(Noob q) Google wallet not working

This has been discussed a lot but mostly during the 2 weeks before I got the phone. I didn't know what to search for and when I did try searching I couldn't find the right topic
I'm on rooted stock using whatever build the phone came with out of the box
And I keep on getting this error

Is google wallet safe to use, what if you lose your phone. Can someone access your credit card info?

Google wallet is locked, in that everytime you open the app, you need to input your password. So unless they know the pin, they won't have access. Additionally, you can set up an additional screen lock pin.
worked like a charm

Enable softkeys on (probably) ANY ROM

To enable softkeys, simply add the following line into your build.prop
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
And reboot.
VOILA!
Oh, and BTW, is there away to get rid of the hardware key light in cm10? That would add to the soft key effect and save battery.

Go to /sys/devices/platform/msm_ssbi.0/pm8xxx-core/pm8xxx-led/leds/button-backlight/
Open brightness and max brightness, and set the number to 0.
Basic method from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1694375
It didn't stick the first time I tried it, but it seems to work now.
Edit: Never mind, reboot made it revert. Sorry.

Answered my own question.
XDA's policy to is to put things like guides and tutorials in the General section. Development is for software only. Moved to General.

[Q]

Does anyone know of a guide on what bloatware is safe to delete from the phone after getting root installed?

HAHA.. Thanks funny man. It was one of those stupid questions when the obvious answer isn't obvious to the person asking.
I also forgot to add a title so to this thread, sorry about that folks.
Just make backups of everything, and restore if something goes haywire. Or if you're not sure about a specific process or apk, Google it specifically. Stuff some people consider bloat other people think is useful. I delete Google Talk and stock gallery, and I run CM10, which is pretty bloatless.

[MOD/APP] Updated 3/21/13 Custom Apps When Headphones Connected

I saw it asked in the FK23 threads and it peaked my curiosity, so a little searching and some messing around and here's what I came up with..
This is NOT my work!
First I want to thank xCaldazar from the Verizon S3 forums for his guide here
Edit - Thanks to Mattix724 for finding this - and to rickythefox, after posting this I found several posts linking to a thread that I didn't see. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1763441
He has made an app that will do this and he also has a mod for the sgs3 :beer:
Edited the guide and mod I made out as the app does this flawlessly, just make sure you have an updated version of busy box :beer:
Was given permission by rickythefox (Thank him in his thread please ) to port his mod for 12 apps listed when headphones are connected. So here is the new ported 12_app_headphone_mod.zip - 249.81 KB
Also, I forgot to mention, you need to download the app rickythefox made here in order for this to work!
Edit- Updated to work with GB08/GB27
Thanks TD for doing this while I was stuck at work LOL
Also for being kind enough to provide deodexed and odexed versions:thumbup:

I saw a couple of these threads around xda. Just wanted to share and see what you guys come up with.
Original thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1571645
All you do is just post and complete this sentence "You know you're rooted when.."
Examples:
masaidjet: You know you're rooted when you tell a neighborhood hoe to " wipe her cache "
wscott9903: You know you're rooted when 1/2 of your apps require superuser permission.
feralicious: You know you're rooted when your spouse tells you they're leaving you and taking the kids and you think "perfect timing, (insert dev name here) just released a new ICS ROM".
jayochs: you know you're rooted when your phones buggy as hell lol
putney1477: You know you're rooted when, you husband, wife, significant other gets a new phone and says, don't you dare come near this phone, it works fine!
jackpot08: You know your rooted when when spend more time flashing roms than using your phone"
