You can plug a wired or wireless mouse into an android phone and it'll work...

Most of us have had to call contacts who have extensions in their numbers. They're annoying to enter and the process can take up time. 

Fortunately, if you have an Android smartphone, then you have a way of entering extension information in your contact's details and having your Android automate the dialing process for you.
---
Tutorial Notes

Rather than manually entering a person's extension number, there is a way to automatically have your Android dial the connection once the call connects.

First, go to Contacts. If you want to create a new contact, tap the menu key and then tap New contact. Otherwise, long-press on the contact you want to add extension info for and tap Edit contact.

In the phone numbers section, either select the phone number that you want to add extension information to or add a new number.

Now, press the symbols key in the lower-left of the keypad. You'll notice the buttons Pause and Wait here. Pause inserts a two-second pause while Wait will wait until the call connects.

Insert a Wait after the phone number. Now, press the numbers key and enter the extension that you'd like to dial.

Some phone systems require that you enter a number before entering the extension. For example, if you need to press 1 before entering an extension, then you'll need to add a 1 and then a Pause after your Wait.

Now when you call your contact, you'll be asked whether you want to use the tones that you entered for that contact.

Ok guys n gals, so I've found out how to do this. Before you continue any further, understand that you must be rooted and running a custom ROM that supports 4G toggling (i.e. AOKP).

Step 1: Download this app from the Play Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.intangibleobject.securesettings.plu gin&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5p bnRhbmdpYmxlb2JqZWN0LnNlY3VyZXNldHRpbmdzLnBsdWdpbi Jd 
Step 2: Open the app, go to Options and scroll down to Custom ROM Actions and ensure that "LTE" is checked
Step 3: Open up Tasker and create a profile entitled 4G On and choose your first context, whether that be battery or whatever else you want to "trigger" 4G to be set as "On."
Step 4: Click New Task at the top of the tasks list and name it 4G On.
Step 5: Click the + button and scroll to Plugins and you will see Secure Settings. Click it.
Step 6: You will see edit configuration; click edit
Step 7: Now you will see a list of the options you have enabled in Secure Settings. We care about 4G, so scroll down to LTE and click it. Then it will ask you what state you want LTE to be in. This is the 4G On profile, so click On. Save and apply the task. 
Step 8: Repeat steps 3-7, but now choose the context you want for 4G to be off, name your profile and task 4G Off, and when you get to the configuration settings in Secure Settings, make sure you check Off for the state of LTE. Save and apply the task.


Now you're done! Make sure to click the checkmark on your profiles screen to ensure that your tasks are enabled

It's a modern day nightmare to accidentally reveal too much information on Facebook. I've inadvertently told the world my location more times than I can laugh off, and my friends haven't fared too well either. Just take a look at the requested app permissions next time you're about to click install and you'll quickly realize how much that app can reveal about you.

With social media privacy concerns a hot topic, especially since Facebook's psychological experiment went public, users need a better way to control app permissions before something very private accidentally spreads online.

Today, I'll show how any Android user—rooted or not—can lock down their Facebook app permissions to keep privacy secure. This tutorial is broken down into two sections: those who are rooted and those who are not, so be sure to know which steps apply to you.

For Non-Rooted Users

We'll be installing an app outside of the Google Play Store, so be sure to enable installation from "Unknown Sources" on your device before continuing.

Step 1: Download the Modded Facebook APK

Tap this link to download a modded .apk of the Facebook app. The mods from XDA member elesbb gives fewer permissions to Facebook, that in turn, keeps your privacy secure.

[1] Standard app (only the first page of permissions). [2] Modified app above. [3] Modified app below.

For an even more stripped-down, minimal version of Facebook, tap here to grab an even further modded Facebook app from the same dev. This one has cross-app communication (logging in with Facebook) removed, which may or may not be desirable. Personally, I like the easy login process using my Facebook account, so this version's not for me.

Step 2: Uninstall the Current Facebook App

If you currently have the standard Facebook app installed on your device, go ahead and uninstall it before moving on.

Step 3: Install & Use the Modded Facebook APK

This part's easy. Pull down on your notification panel and tap on the completed download notification to install whichever one you downloaded in Step 1 above. If you happened to clear your notifications, you'll find these files in your Downloads folder (accessible through any file browser or theDownloads app).

Once installed, open the app, sign in, and use like you normally would.

For Rooted Users

We've covered Xposed countless times here, and it's a favorite on our phones and tablets. Those who are unfamiliar with the modding tool should check out our guide to installing the Xposed Framework on your Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Although it's over in our Galaxy S5 section, it works for all Android devices.

Step 1: Install AppOpsXposed Module

AppsOps was once a standard feature that allowed control of permissions on a per-app basis, but was removed in Jelly Bean. Since I'm running 4.4.2 KitKat on my Note 3, I'll need to bring back AppOps so the permissions manager can be used, and developer caspase has the module to do just that—AppOpsXposed.

Just search for and download the app in Xposed, or get it directly from here. To activate it, make sure to reboot your device.

Step 2: Using AppOpsXposed

Launch into AppOps with the AppOpsXposed icon, or through your Settingsapp, then find and tap Facebook to see its permissions. Now just switch off whichever permissions you're uncomfortable with.

Some permissions are essential to getting your News Feed to load, so don't turn everything off. But things like reading call logs, texts, calendar, and contacts are all safe to disable. If you find that something in the app breaks, just turn back on the permissions from Settings.

Samsung's Milk Music Internet radio app is a free download in the Play Store. This will allow you to stream music with no ads. That's right. So what's the catch? Milk Music is only available for Galaxy devices. I'm sure Samsung released Milk Music intentionally alongside it's Galaxy S5 announcement to grab a hold of the streaming market. Who knows if they will be successful, but ad-free music is a hard thing to pass up.

Galaxy Gear & Samsung S3 GT-i9003,
Running the 4.3 firmware,
All features of the gear including side loading apps are working

THIS IS ONLY FOR USERS ON MF1 OR EARLIER BOOTLOADER WITH CUSTOM RECOVERY (cwm or twrp)

THIS WILL NOT AFFECT BOOTLOADER OR MODEM AS THEY ARE NOT INCLUDED.

GENERAL DISCLAIMER : YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT YOU DO TO YOUR PHONE!

This is a stock, rooted TW 4.3 rom based off of the recent ML1 update. It does not contain a bootloader or modem. KNOX has been NIXED too. ThePagel was able to grab the .tar which made this possible. Go throw a huge thanks his way. Also send some thanks to decimalman for allowing me to use his kernel. As a few others have figured out, the stock kernel doesn't play well with the earlier .TZ firmware causing wifi to be borked. You can check out decimalman's work here. Remember to thank him while your there.

More about the firmware now. DON'T JACK WITH IT!!!!! I know in the past it was common practice to flash the newest firmware along with whatever rom base you were upgrading to but as Invisiblek "discretely" informed us here, that is no longer the case. You will brick your phone if you try! While your reading invisiblek's thread, go ahead and grab the new modem. You'll be glad you did.

Ok, back to the rom. I was doing this blindly as my S3 is on vacation with my son at the moment so I owe a huge thanks to jlyle and prdog1 for testing it out for me. Give them credit for the kernel find that fixed wifi.

Decimalman goes out of his way to support Trickster MOD which is available in the Play Store but states most other tuning apps work well. 


Features:

decimalman's TW4.3 dkp kernel
Pre-Rooted
Deodexed
Zipaligned
Busybox
init.d support

To Install:

Must be on MF1 or earlier bootloader
Place .zip on ext. sdcard
Wipe data, cache and dalvik cache (if you don't wipe, don't bring up any strange rom behavior or quirkiness here)
Install rom
Upon reboot, you will be asked if you want to fix recovery, always answer "NO".
When booting for the first time, it may take up to 5 minutes. DON'T PANIC!
