[Q] New lockscreen unlock method? topic

Hi, this is my first post so be forgiving :D
Just few weeks ago I've received new phone - Lumia 620 (I had 610 earlier). I had "some" experience with flashing my nokias and now I'm pretty intrested in modifying WP 8.1. I know this OS is closed and can be unlocked only partly for sideloading apps but I'm wondering if there's any way to change unlocking method or turn it off. What I mean? I mean unlocking phone by swiping just like in android not from down to up but from left to right or even by maze lock. I saw few apps in windows store, but they work only when screen is unlcoked whitch means i have to "lock" the screen by clicking notification which just makes screen black and "unlocks" phone after double tap. And there is my question: Can I turn off lockscreen? Btw. I saw this thread and I'm wondering if this app is just making interactive background or modifies system fiels so I can for example change unlock method?

Custom unlock method topic

I'd like to build a custom screen unlocker with my own unlock method (no sliding). I have different ideas, so let's just assume I'd like to reimplement the 4 digit pin unlock method at first. I've found some hack solutions, which open an app on pressing the power button. But they can't disable the home key, so I can access the phone without knowing the pin number. Some other sources claim, it's not possible without writing a custom loader. So how come, there are so many apps on the store that offer exactly this feature? Can someone please direct me in the right direction?

[Q] Working method for apps on SDcard? topic

I'm on the latest kitkat version rooted on my Shield Tablet and am trying to get a working app to move my apps to the sd card. I've tried link2sd (requires partitioning?), apps2sd, and sd fix. I can't seem to get the apps to fully move to the sd card, just the app data...

Is there a way to move the entire app to the sd card? I tried lollipop and hated it, so downgraded back to kitkat.

[Q] IllegalArgumentException when calling method in database topic

Hello everybody. I've tried to make a suitable database for my game that will represent shop stock. The problem is when I call the purchase() method, I got that exception mentioned in the title. The problem is that I need to chceck depending on ID if I need to increment number of purchases or i just unlock the whole item. Here is my code for the database

Code:

---

public class MonsterTapDatabase extends SQLiteOpenHelper {
    static final String dbName = "MonsterTapDb";
    static final int version = 1;
    static final String tTableName = "Shop";
    static final String fItemID = "ItemID";
    static final String fItemName = "ItemName";
    static final String fItemNumberOfPurchases = "NumberOfPurchases";
    static final String fItemIsLocked = "IsItemLocked";


    public MonsterTapDatabase(Context context) {
        super(context, dbName, null, version);
    }

    @Override
    public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase sqLiteDatabase) {
        sqLiteDatabase.execSQL("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS "+tTableName+" (" +
                fItemID + " INTEGER PRIMARY KEY , " +
                fItemName + " TEXT , " +
                fItemNumberOfPurchases + " INT, " +
                fItemIsLocked + " TEXT" +
                ")");
        ContentValues cv = new ContentValues();
        cv.put(fItemID, 1);
        cv.put(fItemName, "Lives");
        cv.put(fItemNumberOfPurchases, 0);

[Q] Tmobile Z3 （6616）Root method available? topic

I finally returned my Nexus 6, because of the weight and big screen, I decided to go with Z3 because of its good looking.

But after reading the whole forum, I realize that I cannot root it, GOD!!!!!!!

Can someone tell me that our Developers are working on it?

I really don't want to return my phone again.

[Q] Which method to go back to stock? Please help. topic

I am aware of the threads pertaining to similar questions like mine but I am uncertain of their similarities and most don't provide relevant information that will help me. Here are the current software details for my rooted phone.
Carrier - AT&T
Android Version - 4.4.4
Baseband Version - I747UCUEMJB
Model Number - Samsung-SGH-I747
ROM - Carbon
Carbon Version - Carbon-Quantum-7/25
Recovery - ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.4.3

I am planning on getting a new phone within the coming days, most likely a Note 4, I plan on selling this phone and would like it to be stock Touchwiz. I don't remember the Android version I was on when I bought it in Dec 2012 but I'd like it to be exactly like it was then, I'd update it to the latest one on my own, or if that isn't practical then I'd go with the latest "stock" option available to my specifications.

I am currently looking at these two threads but I am unsure if which is the one for me?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2658486
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1968625

Please help me. I'd like to go as "stock" as I can. Thanks!

Wach it and enjoy rooting your phone.

How to enable ultra power saving mode on galaxy note 3 lollipop rom (no root method) topic

The Ultra Power Saving mode happens to be one of the features from the Samsung Galaxy s5 that i really wanted on my Galaxy Note 3. And i was hoping that the Kitkat update would bring this feature but that didn't happen and so did the leaked lollipop ROM. I recently stumbled on a tutorial on XDA on how to enable this feature by flashing a zip file and installing a new settings app, which requires rooting your device first. After a bit of tinkering with QuickShortcutMaker, i was able to dig into a hidden settings option which allows me to switch to the Ultra Power saving mode and enable the Greyscale mode.

First of you need to have the Lollipop ROM Installed on your Galaxy Note 3 and QuickShortcutMaker. If you have these already then you can follow the steps below. (you can achieve the same thing with Nova launcher, however i find it takes a lot more steps than QuickShortcutmaker)

1. Open the QuickShortcutmaker app, and switch to normal search from the incremental search.

2. Type in "saving" into the input field and tap on Search, you should get four results in the Settings icon.


3. tap on the Settings icon and tap on the items (i would recommend with starting with the third item) listed to get into the Shortcut creation page where you can try the shortcut to see what it does, edit the label and change the icon.

4.Tap on Try to see what the shortcut does, if you tapped on the right one. You should see the screen below.


5. Press the back button to get back to the shortcut creation page and tap on Create to place a shortcut to this menu on your homescreen (you can change the label and icon from here before creating the shortcut).

6. Once you have created the shortcut, you can now head back to your Homescreen and open the Ultra Power saving menu by tapping on the shortcut icon you just created. You can choose to enable or disable any of the options in the menu, for me i rather not have the background data restricted so i have that turned off.

I also have a video showing the process and the grey scale mode in use
