[Q] Something Custom I'm looking for - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Good day users and developers....
I am curious to know if someone has created a widget where you can with one touch enable and disable all location services??
I'm currently running stock but will be rooting soon .... just got the phone a month ago, came from an LG G2X.
If you could guide me to the right direction or tell me how moronic i am, i would greatly appreciate it... LOL
As always, you guys are awesome

This isn't exactly what you're looking for, but on Nova Launcher you can add a shortcut to Location access where you can easily switch it off. To do this you long press on home screen>Shortcuts>Settings shortcut>Location access and it will add a shortcut to your screen. It will take two clicks instead of one, but it's better than going all the way through the settings I guess.

Yup. That's so something that has always irritated me too. It's a great idea and would be good tied into the existing toggles.

Mods have a life and are volunteers, and as such just can't police the forum constantly. I would recommend that you don't browse the forum on the weekend if you don't want to see so many noob posts. Seems like they come out in force on the weekends, and usually the mods are off trying to have a weekend. These things have been said 1000 times before. It is frustrating, i know that of course, but these posts really have little value. If you don't have anything to actually contribute through the posts then it's best if we just don't say anything.
@ OP
Questions like this should be posted in an preexisting thread, either the rom you are using, or wherever you got your themes from, there could even be a thread on the topic already...i have not looked, but doing so helps to reduce the clutter. Plus it's a forum rule.

Hello Friend.
You claim that you're a noob.
So I am here to give you some truth.
Please learn to read before you touch a keyboard.
You're wasting more time than you can afford.
If you took the time to enlighten your mind
Then there would be less of your kind.
Thank you.

The Odin 1-click (linked above) is the best way to get back from almost any situation. It will bring you back to Stock AT&T, which is where you want to be either if you give up on custom ROM (you'll still need to apply the JH7 update that came out a couple of months ao). or if you want to try a different ROM. I've even managed to get out of a brick situation (cellphone-computer screen) with the 1-click.
Good luck

Stock Notifications

I recently put MiUi on my Captivate and it doesn't have the stock notification "On Time" that I'm so used to and like so much. If someone could please upload the ringtone/notifications folder that would be very appreciated. I've spent over an hour looking for it, it doesn't seem to be anywhere on the web =O
Thanks!
There's a MIUI-specific sticky in Q&A where this should have been posted. Please do a search before starting a new thread.

I already looked for it there and was unable to find it. This isn't directly related to MIUI either; I was asking if anyone could provide the file. Most likely people with MIUI wouldn't be able to, because they'd be in the same position as me.
The sounds missing from CM7/Miui are likely Samsung specific ones since there are a few others missing as well. Try downloading a Samsung based ROM and look through the media folders for the sound files.
edit: just found the one you want and one I sooorta missed.

I was going to do that if no one else knew where find it, but I really wasn't happy about it because setting up everything on my phone with MIUI took me quite a long time :/ And oh! Thank you very much!!
Thread closed, since this should have been posted in the sticky.

[Q]Simple Text with Simi Folders

Hi,
I've been lurking these forums for quite some time now. Finally decided to make an account to post and contribute. I have enjoyed everything about this forum and have learned a great deal just browsing and reading everyone's responses.
I hope I've posted this in the correct place. I'm was stuck between this sub-forum and the app/themes sub-forum.
I was browsing some homescreens online and saw that someone had used SimpleText as the icon for SimiFolders and I'm wondering how I can set that up? I'm re-organizing my homescreen right now and this feature would definitely make things 'cleaner'
Thanks

This is a long shot, but I am wondering if you ever figured this out. I am loosing my mind trying to get customized icons into SimiFolder. It should be so easy, but I am not having any luck.

[q] help from me on xda or in pm/gtalk ?

I help A LOT of people here on xda all day everyday some donate some don't. its very hard to help people on xda cus when helping them other people jump in and start either telling the person im helping don't do that do this or they just plain old spam. i have helped a very large amount of people on g talk and they have told me they like to be helped MORE on g talk than on xda because we have 100% full privacy to do what we need to do. please choose how you like to be helped Either xda or PM or g talk. at the end of the week ill count all of them up and from the results i will help people based on the results on this thanks very much.
To put the poll into better context I believe that you should also read this thread Although I've quoted the relevant posts below:
ben_pyett said:
Hello, Paul,
Firstly, thanks (again) for your input into the forum. I'm genuinely not intending to create conflict here or trying to play the role of a mod. Now, I know that you've had this sort of comment before, but, I agreed with it then and I'm afraid that I still do.
While at times the PM route can be useful to resolve issues, it shouldn't be the only or primary option. The whole principle of XDA is openness and sharing, so resolving an issue in thread permits that the next user(s) (and there is always another, who suffers from the exact same problem) from hopefully using the Search function and then following the resolution from the thread by themselves.
That way we're working towards creating a valuable resource rather than loosing useful input into hidden PMs.
PM's do have there place for 'user to user' communication, that would otherwise populate the forum unnecessarily but once a thread has been created I believe that it should be used to reolve the original issue.
If a new user needs that much hand holding then one wonders whether they should be risking their £200-£400 device in the first place! before reading up some more....

me helping people over PM is better because its faster and more safer for the person im helping. if im trying to guide him then other people jump in and comment he isnt going to know who to listen to and he will get very confused. this has happend before. by helping over PM or my gmail is better for them, and me. and i ALWAYS ask them after to write a guide as to how i helped them and what they did. i at NO point mean to upset anyone. but you have got to understand that this is the only way that i can help these people as you may well know here on xda people have got there opinions and they like to jump in whenever they want. if i tell him to do somthing some1 might jump in and say no or do this and do that. i have had EVERYONE i have helped say thanks to me and its better this way. i have helped MANY people achieve proper s-off. i will no open a poll. and it will ask the people of xda if they would prefer to be helped via PM or Gtalk or on here. if more people prefer xda then i will start helping via xda

As someone whom Paul has helped through gtalk, It was very beneficial to me as we were able to quickly and easily communicate, as any other method is rather slow and crude. I definitely do agree with your point on xda being a repository for information however, therefore communicating through gtalk or similar could withhold information from other users. However I have now written up a short guide of what I did to solve my problem on the original thread, and I believe that if people do this then everyone wins tbh, and it has the added advantage of the treads being shorter and more concise, therefore it is easier to find the relevant information.
As someone who has done all his stiff by reading through threads and others opinions, I will always advocate all discussions on XDA
Sent from a Desire S waiting for Kernel 3. WAKE UP HTC!!!!
On the 16th the poll will close and whatever the winning method is thats the way i will help people from now on. i do wish ALL people will take something out of the way i help them. as me getting them properly s-off uses alot of things like commands running adb , fastboot and so on. by helping them do these things it then in turn helps them. as if i didnt help them and they needed to to adb or fastboot commands and they never knew howto that could result in a not needed thread being opened **How to use adb or fastboot** this is a good way for me to help these people. i think people should help people the way they do and let other people carry on with the ways they do things. ( no offence meant ben your opinion means alot to me your a good person ) but if it states in the rules ( only help people on xda ) then i will stop if it dont then i will carry on as im not doing anything wrong. and even so if you guys think your losing out on infomation. i will open up a guide covering absolutly EVERYTHING on the desire s from fastboot adb changing roms,splash,radio,hboot and covering everything on what the desire s is capable of doing. what limits it has and other things. this in a sense will be the desire s XDA user guide let me know if u think thats a good isea ben. and as i go along anything i help people out with thats not in the new guide ill just update it ????????????

I do but there are already several threads like this, so one must be careful not to pollute the forum with too many similar guides which would just lead to further confusion.
There is the Complete Tutorial for beginners and others, but I'm guessing yours would be a more technical and slightly more advanced version?

yes ur right mine would cover EVERYTHING that is possible with our device. from s-off to installing app's and even radio flashing fastboot adb the lot. EVERYTHING will be in sections. with sections about all developers themers contributors. what projects that are currently under development and it can also act like a news forum. like if you want to know whats happening in the most recent roms go to this thread and find your rom and you will be able to keep upto date with whats going on. this will be called DESIRE S ADVANCED USER THREAD. this will house everything for our device. from what roms are currently avalible and everything. im going to start this thread now i think this thread when its done will be the best thread about our device on xda

The one thing I would say though, is rather than re-invent not just the wheel but the car, I'd recommend that you source, link and reference as much of the existing documentation where ever possible.

Guides done i have posted it now and ill carry it on as i go along
hey guys, Would just like to add to this After searching throughout the forum day and night i got what information i needed to root and s-off my desire s. After following all the instructions letter by letter i was still have errors and problem after problem. paul.robo kindly asked me if i wanted his help and i accepted using Gtalk. I can not begin to express at how helpful he was and was there to guide me through each error. After a good few steps i finally got to where i wanted to be. In no way was i able to find out why i was having these errors if he weren't there to check them as it was happening. To go through this in forum style replys would take days and to much work. Gtalk is a brilliant and direct help for occasions like these and would recommend his help and wisdom to all. Thanks again mate Much appreciated
