[Q] Best hotspot app for rooted note 4. - Sprint Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

ok so i bite the bullet and rooted my note 4, for the most part left everything alone. just wanted to do some minor tweaks. very happy with all the help/info i got from the site through the search. my question is what app do you guys run for hot-spot/wifi tethering. seen alot on here and google, but most post are 2013 or older and most of the old apps arent even active. i normally use pda-net. but i want a stand alone app for this, Thank you.

Galaxy tools, i uploaded the apk to dropbox. i got from the thread on galaxy tools. It is the easiest to get native built in hotspot to work, without issues.

Google Wallet?

The Note II supposedly has NFC support, but the Google Wallet app from Google Play still says it can't be used.
Is there any way to use Google Wallet on the AT&T Galaxy Note II?
Came here to ask this too... I googled as well and found this
http://forums.androidcentral.com/t-...acks/216535-google-wallet-t-official-apk.html
Try THAT (changing the buildprop to a Galaxy Nexus after root)? I don't know how to root yet, so I'll let you know if I'm successful
I can confirm Google wallet working on ATT note 2. Thread here thanks to warlocklord and ogdobber! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2031127.

I followed those steps. My wallet app is force closing. I'm using the Google Play build. I flashed Warlock's zip in twrp.

Are you saying this because it IS working, or it ISN'T working?

Reboot.
Install Google Wallet from market.

I'm saying that Google Wallet is not working on my AT&T Note II. I did this:
1. Reboot into TWRP and install the zip provided by Warlock in linked thread
2. Reboot system
3. Start up Google Wallet, force close during setup (the screen that says "setup may take up to 5 minutes"... etc)
EDIT: I didn't install from Google Play, I thought I did... but apparently the ZIP installs it for me? I go to Google Wallet in the Play store and there is no "Uninstall" option which means it must be installed in system...
I also can't get it working. Mabey because im on 4.12
I will just wait untill the official one is available

I told the cashier I was testing it before I tried and that I would have to use a regular card if it didn't.. The people behind me seemed as interested as I was. The cashier said "wow...that's pretty cool".
Thanks for the confirmation and I too can vouche that it works as I purchased breakfast this morning at McDonald's.

yes you have to do it over again for New ROM. Restore from TiBu not gonna work
Anyone with this done successfully wanna make a flashable zip? Would only need to grab the files in the zip in linked thread and then replace the ones in hte old zip with the ones from your file system. This would help all att users and that user also so they wouldnt have to do the mod over and over, just flash the zip.

what to do/ install to get the most out of the S3?

Any apps/ adjustment/ settings ANYTHING would be much appreciated. Im trying to get the most out of my S3. Im on stock rooted JB (Note that I'm not interested in flashing rom...) Thanks !!
I have 1 suggestion for now. Use X-plore as the file manager. It has root browser and everything. No ads and it's free. Really great file manager that I've just discovered last week after 6 months using Astro.
Cpu sleeper. Custom kernel (I use ktoonz).
Can't think of more of top of my head other than typical "going thru settings"to customize further.
I use stock rooted as well. The kernel change only to get better life out of battery and performance to device.
T-Mobile Galaxy S 3, stock and rooted.
I'm on stock rooted as well (need TW for wifi calling) and I've found my experience is vastly improved with Apex launcher. There are a good number of launchers out there, so you can try a few and see what you like.
Other than that, it's just stuff that caters to my interests.
Go to dev settings and turn animations and stuff from 1x to .5x.

Wifi calling is a feature on stock tmobile phones that allows you to make calls via your wifi connection and not use any minutes. AOSP doesn't have it on our phone. It is for those that live in poor signal areas and still need their phone for calls.

[Q] any way to test the microphone?

My nexus 7 2013 that is completely stock has a microphone that isnt working. is there a way to test it to make sure its actually broken and not something software? i am on 4.3 and still waiting on 4.4 OTA (too lazy for adb sideload atm unless you think i should try). i have used google hangouts video chat and the other person couldnt hear a thing from my end, and then tapping google to use voice search the mic will not pick anything up.
wireless charging isnt working either, but unsure if it ever worked since i didnt try until i got my nexus 5.
asus RMA is a PITA to deal with. any thoughts or troubleshooting i can try?
Search play store, there are apps for that.
If you find it detective, you've to go for repair only..

Model Number Change and Bluetooth Issues

Hello all!
Long time lurker new poster So I rooted my phone a couple weeks ago and I have messed around with a few ROMS, always looking for SGH-M919 ROMS only because my phone is an original tmobile phone. I rooted it with files that stated it was for multiple platforms (IE Tmobile, Sprint, ATT etc). Well I have been having a few issues with every rom, mainly involving crashes (hard lock and reboot) when using bluetooth connectivity.
I am wondering if this has something to do with the fact that it seems my model number has changed. It was original SGH-M919 and now it is a GT-I9505G. Would this have been caused by the root? I am certain I am only installing ROMS for the SGH-M919 (Currently on Danvdh GE 4.4.2). Is there a possibility that the model number change is affecting the ROMS installed and causing the bluetooth connectivity issues I am having?
Thanks again for all your help!
Those galaxy roms can change your model number.

Lollipop port

I found a lollipop ROM for the note 2 international version and was wondering if it would be easier to port from that or to start with aosp. Any suggestions on where to get started? Thanks
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-2/orig-development/rom-namelessrom-2-0-t2943424
I imagine e it'd be easier to start with the port.
Now all we need are some porting pros.
Its dissapointing that no one is even attempting to maintain this phone now. I suppose, I could try to commission a maintainer though...
Edit: well I found out what happened to one of our biggest device maintainers.

Liking it so far. Let it be known you do have to go download a gapps package though. Just did that. Then going to test a couple cameras.
---------- Post added at 06:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:28 AM ----------
OK. So I understand this now. The back camera does not work period. Even with other apps.
Runs great! I wonder how big of an impact the mostly white menus will drain our batteries. And if the new way Android works and its battery saving will off put that.

Xposed sadly is not compatible with Android 5 yet.

Also might want to make sure internal sd is wiped and android folder on your external sd is deleted. Dont use much facebook (clear/blue is what I have) and not tested on lp. Got to love how they make you use a second app to help suck your battery down even more.

Right? We are supposed to believe them forcing us to use a second app is to make things better for us and not them being up to something, messed up something, and\or not have a clue what they are doing?

I have compiled AICP 5.0.1 (has mobile service) and BrokenPOP (before mobile service worked) and only BrokenPOP had both front and rear camera working. I am working on a new compile of BrokenPOP now and if camera is still working I will port that over to both CM and AICP.
