I did it! I made a shortcut to usb utilities/usb mass storage on my homescreen! - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note

There is very little super easy setup to do and then you're off to the races!
So here is what you need to do:
1. d/l and install "Anycut" from the play store.
2. select "Anycut"
3. select "Activity"
4. scroll all the way down to the bottom and select "Wireless and networks"
5. select "ok"
6. on homescreen select new "Wireless and networks" icon.
7. select "USB utilities"
8. VERY IMPORTANT HERE - select the "Home" button.
Now everytime you select "Wireless and networks" you will automatically brought to the USB utilities screen, everytime.
HOWEVER...if you press the back button you will be brought back to the "Wireless and networks" screen - just make sure to select USB utilities again, then the "home" button.
Heck you can even redo the steps again so you can rename it "USB" if you want and change the icon.
Hope this helps everybody/somebody. I looked through a lot of pages that couldn't help me.

Hi Rose. I am admitting my ignorance here. Why would I want this on my homescreen??? Thanks!

Hi. This reduces the amount of steps it would take (5 or 6) to get to mass storage mode down to 1 without leaving the screen.
For someone like who stays away from anything MTP (I gave up the SGS3 soley because of it) and uses their phone as a mass storage device it is very convienant. I am consistantly plugging my phone into my PC at work and using it as a drive, its a daily habbit.
Apparently there is a paid app out there that does almost the same thing except it automatically launces uMS once plugged in but you have to be rooted in order for that to happen. I am not ready to root this yet.
Some people may not care either way.
Honestly though I'd love to get the Mass Storage Mode to launch automatically like it does on the SGS2 with stock ICS but at this point I'll take what I can get.

Thanks for the explanation.

Glad you got it but next time ask please and don't demand. I found it but I realize now it was only because of my Sensation and I backup my apks to my PC. Unfortunately Samsung must be blocking it from being seen by their devices, definately sucks.
If it worked for you please hit up the thanks button.

Great job OP! Helped a bunch.
Thanked.

Glad to hear it worked for you.

Wow - Much needed USB Mass Storage on Samsung Note
I also gave up on SGS3 because it lacks USB M/S after trying all the possible methods (and because of the stupid home button - just wanted capacitive button or like apple smooth virtual button).
This one is great. Thanks for sharing it.

Very useful. I looked for this very long. Many thanks to you

Dude, that would be huge!! This is what I need: (copied from the instructions page)
First step you want to do is get ahold of a RETAIL (and i stress the retail part because you cannot use an OEM version of the disk, since they are specifically tied to the computer you bought it with) version of Snow Leopard (and it has to be the 10.6 version, not the 10.6.2 or 10.6.3 retail disks). Next, you want to make a disk image of the DVD (go to disk utility , select the DVD, and click the “New Image” button at the top to create the image. Save the image where ever you would like.
Once the drive has been formatted, then you want to drag the disk image (where ever you put it) to the left bar right below the DVD drive. This will create an icon below everything else for easy access. Go to the partition of the usb/sd card (which is directly under and indented of the main drive. Then go to the “restore” tab. Under the “source” you want to drag that icon of the disk image from the left and place it in the empty white bar. Under destination, you want to select the partition (or the entire) usb/sd card. When thats all set, click the “Restore” button in the lower right corner. This can take up to 30 mins to complete, so go take a bathroom break or get yourself a cold beer.
When you come back, the disk image should be successfully restore to the flash drive. DO NOT EJECT THE FLASH DRIVE. We’re not done with it yet. Go to the folder that you downloaded and select the “myhack_installer_1.1.mpkg”. This requires concentration, because one wrong move, and you can ruin your real mac. Continue through all the license agreements, etc til you get to where it asks you to install the files. Make SURE that you click your usb/sd card. Double and triple check this (I cannot stress it enough. i am not responsible for any damage or lost data to your mac). Click the continue button. Now dont just click the install button. Instead, go the to customize button in the lower left corner of the window. The following things need to be selected, and nothing else: Core (which should automatically be checked and you cant change that), com.apple.Boot.plist, EvOreboot.kext, NullCPUPowerManagement.kext, and SleepEnabler.kext. Thats is. After those are checked, click the “Install” button in the lower left corner and give yourself a 10 minute break.
When you come back, the installer should be all finished and give you a “congratulations” screen. You can now click the “Done” button, which will quit the myhack installer.
Can one of you guys do this or no?

So let me get this straight, Android OS without Android's customize ability and a GUI that matches iOS almost perfectly. What's the point. You might as well just get an actual iPhone. The whole point of Android over iPhone is customization, freedom of platform to do what you want and having a more robust system in general.
It's kinda cool but is a big step backwards imho.

Enable tethering blindly

My SGN display was broken including the LCD, hence i'm not able to see anything. I'd like to access and control the device from my PC, what is the best app for this?
My main goal right now is to enable tethering. The touch still works, so i'm confident it can be done.
In the interim, could someone take screenshots of each step from the home screen to enable tethering and post them for me?
I'm going to try and enable it blindly.
Thanks in advance.
The device is a N7000 running stock ICS.

I won't say it's easy but if you are on a Samsung based ROM you might have a chance. (Obviously you'll need to buy a MHL cable though.)
Alternatively, if you've got USB Debugging turned on then you might be able to use Droid Explorer which includes a remote control add-on.
Yes, mhl cable +hdmi is the best chance

Could you swipe down from the top of the screen to open the notification screen, there is a settings link there, thats where i'm use to getting to the settings from. I think with a screen shot of that i'll be able to get it done.
Got it done. Found a pic on the internet of the screen i was talking about. Would still like a proper pic. :good:

Any chance you have AirDroid installed? It has a live view (screenshot) in pc browser ability built in, it can help if you don't have an MHL adapter.

[GUIDE] Take Back Your Headset Controls!

REQUIREMENTS
ROOT ACCESS
SINGLE-BUTTON HEADSET
ANDROID 4.1+
PREFACE
TESTED ON THE NEXUS 4 RUNNING 4.2
If you often listen to music using a single-button headset (the kind that many Samsung devices tend to ship with), then you should know that Google lets you control the headset button. By default, you can:
Play/Pause (Single Press)
Skip track (Double Press)
Launch Voice Search (Single-click Long Press)
Pretty cool, right? So what's the deal, then?
The issue is you CANNOT customize how you want the system to respond to your button input.
What if you want to long press to increase volume?
What if you want to triple click to go to the previous track?
What if you want to double click and hold to decrease volume?
What if you want to launch an app besides Google Voice Search (I personally have bound utter! in place of Google's search!)?
Nope, too bad.
Well, there is a workaround for this.
How does it work?
In /system/usr/keylayout, two files called Generic.kl and hs_detect.kl reside where you can modify the keymapping of the HEADSETHOOK input to an alternate key that is normally found on a 3-button headset, specifically MEDIA_NEXT. Then, you can modify how the system responds to MEDIA_NEXT by using a headset control app.
TO FIX:
**NOTE: ITEMS SURROUNDED BY A BLUE BOX MEAN IT IS THE ORIGINAL VALUE WHILE ITEMS SURROUNDED BY A RED BOX MEANS IT IS THE NEW VALUE**
1) Install the Keytest App found here: https://github.com/chrisboyle/keytest/downloads
2) Once inside the app, press the headset button. On your screen, it should read as follows:
Code:
keyCode=KEYCODE_HEATSETHOOK
scanCode=226
as shown in the following picture: http://i.imgur.com/dogxm.png
3) Using a root-enabled file explorer app (I personally use Solid Explorer), go to /system/usr/keylayout and make a backup of Generic.kl and hs_detect.kl (copying them to your internal storage, for example /sdcard/headset).
4) You will modify these two files on two different lines. The folder should look like this: http://i.imgur.com/ShpCv.png
Generic.kl:
ORIGINAL: http://i.imgur.com/dzmPy.png AND http://i.imgur.com/bdRRz.png
NEW: http://i.imgur.com/ZddZT.png AND http://i.imgur.com/PPAZk.png
hs_detect.kl:
ORIGINAL: http://i.imgur.com/dVaXK.png
NEW: http://i.imgur.com/Deh9r.png NOTE: I MANUALLY ADDED THE KEY 163 LINE IN
Simple right? You are just flipping the two values essentially.
5) Save the changes. Reboot.
6) Open the Keytest app again. Press the headset button. On your screen, it should read as follows:
Code:
keyCode=KEYCODE_MEDIA_NEXT
scanCode=226
as shown in the following picture: http://i.imgur.com/2BSHM.png
7) Now all you need to do is use an app to configure the MEDIA_NEXT key to your liking.
MEDIA_NEXT is a key typically found on 3-button headsets, symbolized by the "Right" key. An app like Headset Button Controller or Headset Droid should do the trick. Both are paid apps, but there are trial versions available. If there are any free alternatives that can do the trick, let me know and I'll add it in! (I am NOT in any way affiliated with the app developers!)
LIMITATIONS
1)A ROM update will wipe/reset the files.
1a) How can you avoid this? Pretty simple, actually! Just keep a backup of Generic.kl and hs_detect.kl after you make the changes to them, and inject them into the zip file before you flash the ROM. You can also use the following script to do this which needs to be run as root, given that you have the two files backed up in /sdcard/headset
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /system
cp -f /sdcard/headset/* /system/usr/keylayout
chmod 644 /system/usr/keylayout/*
mount -o ro,remount /system
2) An actual or simulated "MEDIA_NEXT" input will now not be recognized as a MEDIA_NEXT. This will affect, for example, 3-button headsets or tasker tasks that simulate a MEDIA_NEXT input. Also: ROMs with the long-press to skip tracks will no longer skip track on holding volume-up, as this is no longer recognized as a MEDIA_NEXT input.
2a) How can you avoid this? You can instead use a different key to be replaced rather than MEDIA_NEXT, if you so desire. The work-up will be the exact same, only the values you swap will be different.

This tweak is meant for long press problem only opening google now. Even Jays says this
"Compatibility
- Click-and-hold actions will not work in Android 4.1+ as Google Now intercepts them."
so even if you use jays your long press should not work unless your rom has helped you change it!

Yes, Headset Droid is another option for users who don't want to use Headset Button Controller!
I just received my Nexus 4 earlier today, and I saw that there were some changes done in the /system/usr/keylayout folder. I managed to fix the problem, and will update the OP with new pictures ASAP for those looking to fix the headset problem.
OP updated with new instructions specific to the Nexus 4!
First off thanks to the OP. I can confirm that this works perfectly. Really don't understand why Google limited the click-and-hold functionality in the first place.
Despite this method working as expected, it is just tricking the Android system. Would it be possible for developers to actually remove the limitation itself from Jellybean. This would mean that you wouldn't need to inject files after each rom update etc.

However, I still can't launch utter (using headset button controller), since the shortcut found in utter main screen creates a shortcut to start listening on the homescreen. Every time I triple press, a shortcut is made to my homescreen.
How did you bind utter to listen?

Oops, didn't catch that! I'll update it when I get done with my finals today ;_;. Did you configure the Right button aka the media next button in headset droid? Remember the configuration changed when you did the mod!

I never actually used the answer calls feature, as I don't have an inline mic. I'll try to see what's up though.

Quick update, fixed the OP links. Sorry if I caused anyone confusion. I hope somebody finds this guide useful!
Hey Guys
I have a Galaxy Note 2 and followed the switching steps mentioned to switch.from the middle to right button.
However thiere is a problem that sometimes happens... the "long press" seems to over-ride the single press so that when I'm trying to click once to pause my music, a new song comes on.
The 2nd thing is that for some reason "click and hold" has no effect whats so ever (as I could have just used it instead of long click)
Curious if you guys have had these experiences.

What app are you using to control your clicks?

Can't setup as new device

Hey folks
I'm having trouble setting up my Nexus 6 as a new device.
I am on the developer preview 3 and I have tried both logging out of my google account and factory resetting. I have also reflashed the preview that that would work.
However all I can do is restore from a backup but I want to setup as a new device. I can select it from the drop down menu which is weird but it won't allow me to select done.
Is this some sort of Android 6.0 feature?
Thanks for any help.

You need to remove your Google account before Factory Reset. That feature is in place since 5.1.
I thought that And have tried that but it still doesn't work.

Turn your phone so it is in landscape then hit done

Haha that's on the list of things I've tried thinking I'd finally outfoxed it but that didn't work either.
I've logged into my google account and deleted all my previous backups but they still show up. Arrrghhhh

Not trying to be smart or say you didn't do it right, but I had the same issue several times and always just needed to turn to landscape and then hit the button. Just doesn't detect or something in portrait. I'd try again and just tap around in that area.

Maybe tonight, now that Snapchat is working on M again I'll probably be going back. Not sure if it's an M issue, but happens every time for me on JDX 3, little arrow button does nothing in portrait, but works in landscape; not sure how I can show it but I'll try

No not at all thanks for the suggestion. It doesn't work in landscape either.
Witek_m I have followed the guide and it still doesn't work. Thanks for the info though.
Yeah it's not really something you can screenshot because the button is there it's just not clickable.

I've had that happen after flashing roms/gapps a few times. What I eventually did was skip the sign in, and sign into my Google account after the initial setup.
