But the thief will most likely turn on airplane mode and then factory reset. If it was lost, someone might try to return it, but I doubt they would care about your info. Unless its credit card numbers , etc.

Buddy for that you need to install play store in your mobile & OP said he hadn't configured. So I think it wont be possible. Also check its NOTE. Its wont work in Galaxy S3.

You can't really do anything.
But unless someone stole it just to try to get your personal information, chances are they already wiped the data themselves and are planning to just sell it. Unless it's personal, I highly doubt they give two craps about persnal documents and family pictures - just selling the phone and making money.

Chameleon Launcher

So this new launcher came out but is only available for the tablet on Google Play Store. It is currently in the beta stage, with a VIP list and pre orders. Will it ever become available to the skyrocket or any smartphone? Is it going to have a lite version. I think it looks sweet, i just don't want to get my hopes up
(Im pretty sure this is a Q&E, but its related to themes and apps...If it needs to be moved, move it please and thank you)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chameleonlauncher.preorder
I'm pretty sure you would get the answer you seek if you sent the developer of the app an email and ask him his plans for the app and the future. Really only he can answer that since he is the dev.....

I guess that makes sense. This community is great with modding stuff so i figured i would ask, no harm done with that right? I searched and some other people with other phones were asking similar questions.
Well I have took an app from the market and with the devs permission made changes so it would work correctly on our phone. And I uploaded it with his permission but its gonna be impossible to find someone here to make it compatible to our phone without getting the devs permission first. Their is a strict rule here about messing around with others work without permission.... but there was no harm in asking. And if you get the devs permission someone here may take it and make it compatible but if its a paid app on the market the devs not gonna give that permission....

Which is why i was wondering if there was going to be a lite version. I Emailed the dev(s) so ill report back when they return my email. I hope it becomes available, seems like the next best launcher. TW, apex and all those launchers start to get old after a while.
I don't see how it would be useful for smaller displays. The whole point of the app is to show a bunch of different information on one screen, but only so much can be done on a 4 inch screen. The suitable alternative is to just use widgets on your homescreen as you probably do now.
I'm gonna go ahead and say it isn't just for tablets. This user posted screenshots here in the 'post your homescreen here' topic in themes/apps for our phone.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29759858&postcount=770
Looks interesting. I own adw ex, nova prime and apex pro. Going to stick with apex most likely as I've spent enough on launchers. It would have to be really amazing to justify spending ten bucks on it (that's the pre-order price)
i tried chameleon. its good launcher even if in beta.
but i think its so big and heavy for a launcher.(20 mb) maybe my tab doesnt enough to run chameleon.(p1000-galaxy tab-)
Hiya! I was asked to post here after someone saw me running it... If you simply load the APK, it works, but to get the most out of it, changing your DPI to the next level will easily let it fit decently with smallish on our screens.

Nah i dont use widgets, im very conservative about my battery
Maybe i got too excited for the app... Tried it, but im truly not as impressed as i thought i would be. They should just call it Widget Launcher?

Exactly. That's why I said in my previous post to get the devs permission. Most will give you permission on free apps but some will not. Paid apps you can forget about it. Also if the dev gives permission and you was to fix it add to it etc etc and upload it don't forget to give the dev credit for his too cause that's only right....

Bootloader Unlock Volunteers (Test 3) $50 if works!

Hello,
Today I'm going to try test three of the bootloader unlock (the test two didn't work, please delete it).
I'm not responsible if this hard-bricks your device, no don't blame me.
OK, so pm me please if you want to try it.
Only ONE person with 50+ posts or 10+ thanks may try it (to make sure your not motorola).
So post here first so that we can tell who will test it.
Good Luck,
TCF38012
Why not try on your own device? If I was working a zip flash to unlock the bootloader, I'd be trying on my own phone, rather than enlist others who may possibly brick as result. And, as DX2Trip asked in "test two", have the devs seen this that you're experimenting with?

The prize makes it sound that much more of a risk. (No offence) lol. So odds are more people won't want to take that chance ya know?

There have been offers like this in the past. So please don't cast aspersions on the OP.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840550
The OPs offer is rather more generous in comparison.
Why do people always bother to see the post count and reps ? Its surely not a measure of how intelligent a person is.A person might be good but could have joined board late so he might be having less rep and posts. :/ We need to stop skeptical and embrace the help.
@OP : good luck with it.Some more details would be nice. All the best.
Edit : good example of what I wanted to say : http://i.imgur.com/v0H7z.jpg
The idea with the post count requirement was to make sure that motorola didn't create an account and volunteer to test it, and then go and analyze it, patch it if it worked, and then report back that it didn't either way.
Personally, I think that this may be unnecessary (although I have doubts about Moto's character, they definitely don't have the resources to be trolling dev forums in an effort to actively discourage development on year old hardware)
I would volunteer to test this, except that I fall just short of both requirements and I would also like to know what happened with the previous two tests before attempting this one (did they result in a brick?)
Again, as Fall of Enosis mentioned, the lack of replies by OP is a bit questionable. People asked legitimate questions in the first "test thread", and nothing was answered. Any good dev keeps up with his/her threads, and assures people with confidence by laying concerns to rest with some riposte. Not trying to cast any doubt on the OP's abilities, just a mention here of maybe taking a more proactive role in the threads he starts. My suggestion, to be taken or left alone...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
I am just going to assume that you will give us an over view of what you tried. We don't want people to get all pushy but it would be nice.
I'm also assuming the thread (x-files thread) a couple of days ago that ended in pm's was hashed out on back channels and this is a by product.
If I wrong well so be it but that's what happens when there is sooo little info.
Good luck.

I actually didn't look much at the OP, thinking that it was the same group of people that were doing the BL unlock the last time. I have reconsidered my decision to be a part of this test. Actually, I think this thread should be locked, but that's not my choice to make.

What is keis??

Sorry for a dumb question, but I am new to Samsung and I keep seeing people mention it, but what is on my tablet only lets me sync to my phone and people are talking about updating from it and such. I am so lost lol
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
KIES is an update utility (also let's you backup I think, not sure about that, never used it lol) for Samsung devices. It's used to manually install updates as opposed to OTA updates that happen on your device
Broken beyond repair
Kies is essentially Samsungs version of Itunes... It sync's music, videos and pictures, backs up your info to the PC (restores also) and updates, if available, your Samsung device to the latest firmware...
Unlike Itunes, you don't need to transfer files through Kies or update either. It isn't needed except to install the usb drivers, though these can be found here on XDA....

And FYI. That is totally the opposite of "what this forum is about". It wasnt created so lazy people can be spoon fed information. It was created for developers to share there hard work and ideas with each other. We are lucky they let normal users like you and me hang around and share all there hard work for free.
