    Music files not supported? Android music app

    Well I have a partial solution, for me at least. I copied all my mp3 files from my PC (running XP) to my rooted stock retail Samsung Galaxy Note 3, OS 4.4.2, NC4 firmware using the USB cable. And I got the same error as everyone else. Eveyr player I tried said it couldn't play any of my...

    Unfortunately, S Note has stopped working.

    I had to hard reset my Note 2 and ever since then I've been getting this damned error. I've tried all of the above suggestions and none of them worked. To be specific, I have a Verizon SCH-I605 running 4.1.1 and a stock rooted ROM with no OTA updates. S-Note always ran fine before. Now I can...

    Thanks for the simple, clear instructions. This worked like a charm.

    Make Any App Work With Multi-View!!! No Root Needed

    I know what you mean. At the risk of digressing, Unix and I go way back - to the pre-Sparc SunOS days. Now *that* was computing :-)

    Make Any App Work With Multi-View!!! No Root Needed

    No problem. It's too bad the script didn't work for me because I really liked the retro 80's "pick a number" UI with the green on black font and the ASCII art. Took me back to the MS DOS 3.0 days, when you could actually still understand everything that was going on in your computer. But...

    Make Any App Work With Multi-View!!! No Root Needed

    Well I know I saved it, so maybe I am in fact somehow using the wrong path. I'll tell you though, right now my head is just spinning from all these different files and directories. I'm going to give it a rest and try again tomorrow. I do thank you though for all the help. I wouldn't be this...

    Make Any App Work With Multi-View!!! No Root Needed

    Yup - you got it! I decompiled the supposedly signed apk and as you suspected, the xml file was exactly the same as the original. However, I know for a fact that I did do all of the edits required (and I remembered to save the file). I also tried loading the signed version of Chrome that...

    Make Any App Work With Multi-View!!! No Root Needed

    Nope - I clicked Edit, but it's not there either. I rebooted but that didn't help either. It shows up on my Apps screen and it runs OK, but it's not in the Multiview bar. Here's what I did: C:\Program Files\APK Manager\other>apktool d -s --no-src "Simple Kitchen Timer-9 .apk" Destination...

    Make Any App Work With Multi-View!!! No Root Needed

    Thanks very much for some very clear directions. That all worked fine and I finally got a signed apk. Then I was able to get it to install OK on my Note 2, but now what? How do I move it into the Multi View sidebar?

    Make Any App Work With Multi-View!!! No Root Needed

    I'm making some progress (I think), but I still can't get this entire process to work. I managed to get everything unzipped and installed but then I had to follow the extra directions on page 4 of this thread, running apktool by hand from a cmd window. That actually worked and gave me a new...

    Make Any App Work With Multi-View!!! No Root Needed

    Hmm, that was very very odd. I re-downloaded it and got the same error while trying to unzip it. But when I tried a third program (7zip), that was finally able to extract the files OK. I've never seen anything like this before. Oh well - on to see if I can get the rest of this procedure to work.

    Make Any App Work With Multi-View!!! No Root Needed

    "2. make a folder called apk manager on your desktop extract everything in the zip into that folder" There's something wrong with this zip file. When I try to unzip it, I get 25 error messages: ! C:\Program Files\APK Manager\APK-Multi-Toolv1.0.10.zip: Unknown method in...

    S3 Bluetooth Does NOT Auto Connect to Car

    Very strange - mine started working properly today for no apparent reason. I didn't even power it down, pull the battery or any funny stuff. Now when I leave the house, the BT connection follows automatically to my truck and when I come home it switches back to the house cordless system...

    S3 Bluetooth Does NOT Auto Connect to Car

    I'm having the same probem with my Verizon S3. I can pair it OK to my 2009 Hummer and it works OK. I can pair it to my home AT&T DECT 6.0 Cell-Connect base station and that works fine. But my old phone, a very basic Samsung Juke used to automatically switch between the car and the house when...

    Samsung galaxy note?!?!

    That would be a real shame. The Galaxy Note sounds like exactly what I've been looking for. I'd even be willing to switch carriers for this. Why on earth are we saddled with this ridiculous system of phones being tied to particular carriers? I should just be able to buy whatever phone I want...
