[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdesai:
Touchwiz and more if you have a carrier specific model

From my fingers to your eyez
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android 4.9 Marshmallow:
Ok, i thought that touchwiz was a launcher. It seems i need to grasp the definition of what is touchwiz yet.

A carrier is the company that provides you with telephone service right?

Could you direct me to a link of a concise touchwiz definition(Not wikipedia, i find it very general) so i can better understand why it cannot be removed from my phone?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v0id_walker:
To remove TouchWiz is almost impossible. If you really want that, you will need some serious skills in android-modding. (Its not impossible, only almost).

What i would recommend you is to wait for ICS, see if you like the touchwiz 5.0. (right now the newest samsung devices are running TW 4.0) According to samsung, TW5 should be quite similar to "pure-android" as it was codeveloped by google.

On the other hand, if you dont like that, or if you dont wish to wait, then there is only one solution. Install custom rom. Cyanoged should be probably the best choice, as their launcher is extremely similar to the ISC stock (i think its called trebuchet, but i am not really sure)

The stock ROM on Kindle Fire sucks... most of games doesn't work on it and it's because Amazon wants you to go purchase "Kindle Fire App Edition" from amazon market... that's why Android Market doesn't come with your device and you should go through all the troubles to root the KF and install the GApps:mad:

Hi all,

I was using a CyanogenMod a while ago, and everything was great. Phone was rooted and everything was working, but all of a sudden, one random day, the earpiece goes out. I haven't flashed anything or tried to make any changes to it as far as I know b/c I was content with what I had. From what I read on this forum, it is b/c of a SPL problem. I've tried to wipe/reflash, and tried to use adb to fastboot the "original" spl back on, but nothing really seems to be working. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

doubt higher volume levels will really improve the sound quality

personally i feel the s2 has enough volume headroom

its just the timbre is screwed up.sound needs more quality and cpu interference noise needs to be minimalised.(not audible wid cheap earphones but gets really irritating with my nuforce ne6 and friends tf10).

but then again guess something is better than no improvement at all.volume increase it is :)

very interesting
[Galaxy S II General] screamworks:
Damn, you got to this one quick! I was just about to write up a thread for it. Well done :D

To those wondering, Supercurio has already stated that there's no distortion, unlike a lot of other so-called fixes (that really just rely on dodgy EQ-hacks). On average, you should see a 6dB+ volume increase.

Personally, I'm extremely excited to see how this stacks up against this, and also if they're related in how they achieve the volume increase (I know that the current fix uses the alsa_amixer file in /system/bin, but apparently it's not a very elegant solution, as it needs a service to constantly run in the background, and needs to push the command every ~300ms to maintain the boost).
[Galaxy S II General] DannyDrama:
I'm using that as its the only thing that works for me right now. It is pretty shabby, but afaik its the best for now.

It isn't very elegant, and the sound dips every time you change it (while its applied) and THEN the sound goes up, thus scaring you to death.

[Kindle Fire General] Masssy:
Hi!

I have read a few posts about the Kindle fire now being locked from rooting(if I have understood them correctly).

As I have an unopened device at home that I'm givning myself for christmas I have a few questions.

1. Is there an update that makes my untouched Kindle Fire un-rootable?

2. Will this update install automatically when connected to Wi-Fi?

3. Is it the bootloader that is locked or will it be rootable/able to install other ROM's in the future?

Would very much appreciate if someone took some time and answered these questions. I would also appreciate if someone could make some kind of summary. Read a lot on the forum but i am still a bit confused about the current status.

/Masssy

Edit: Read on some more about it and I believe that is is thr 6.2.1 update that screws things up.

Does that make me able to not enable Wi-Fi and then flash CM7 before even using WiFi on the device? That should make it fully hackable with ICS etc in the future, right?
[Kindle Fire General] webstas:
If it was me i would root it and install titanium using ADB before i connect it to wifi then freeze or uninstall the otasilentinstall app.

---------- Post added at 09:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:09 AM ----------

you could rename or move the OTA certs, and change the hosts file as well if your paranoid about it.

apparantly they are pushing the update even if the device isnt registered with amazon.

Check this thread
[Kindle Fire General] Winglerw28:
6.2.1 breaks root and prevents the only method anybody has used so far. Another method will most likely surface. That said, there is a pre-rooted 6.2.1 ROM, the Fire semi supports android market in Silk in the latest update, and installing CM7 totally gets rid of any Amazon stuff.

You’re best bet is to disable wifi or block the amazon server in your host file.
[Kindle Fire General] Masssy:
I'm going to open it up when I am away for christmas. Although, I have no use for starting to use WiFi on it that day.

Just keeping WiFi off and then root+CM7 directly when I'm home should be smartest, right?

Edit: I'm not after the Amazon crap anyway since I'm from Sweden.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] GatesHD:
So I bit the bullet and leaped onboard after it seems the AT&T Threat Data letters have ceased. I am going from my iphone 4 to the Note (Cant wait!). It will be here tomorrow.

Should I look for anything except my microsim to sim adaptor plug and play?

Has the imei problem been rearing its head or should I go without a hitch?

Have read here that you no longer need to do anything with APN's. True?

Just want to be prepared for everything that could happen tomorrow, to make it a seemless transition to this beauty.

Thanks in Advance and Happy Holidays to Everyone!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ericshmerick:
Put your SIM in, enter APN settings (google AT&T APN settings) and go from there.

If you get a text, email AT&T by googling the executive office's email. Professionally state your case that your Note is a smartphone and not a tablet and they should fix you up.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cbnash:
If I were you, I would go to my local AT&T store and have them issue you a standard

sims card (no charge for this, although your IPhone will not be active). Their have been reports of these adaptors getting stuck in the Note's sim slot and damaging the

Phone. I didn't want to take the chance.

Charles
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] GatesHD:
I would agree a new sim would prbably be safeer, however I would hate to get caught up in a snafu of a blockage problem having to deal with someone else who may not be informed that it is a phone, hence causing a bigger headache.

Has anyone had problems with the microsim to sim adaptor? I could not find any issues.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Congratulation on your new Note! Welcome to the family!

As for the IMEI issue, I would just lift the IMEI (enter *#06# in dialer) from another Samsung display device at the AT&T store (like an SGS2 or Infuse 4G, something that ISN'T LTE!) and call in to customer care stating that you are upgrading your device to -insert type of device you got IMEI from store- and give them that IMEI. Switch your iPhone unlimited plan to "Smartphone Unlimited" plan (they cost the same). At this point you should be able to put your new SIM card into your Note and off you go! Not only will this prevent you from running into any IMEI related issues, but your data speeds should noticeably increase on HSPA+

You still need to add APN to your device for its data to work though. Like Eric said earlier, it's very easy just to Google those. There are basically two APN's that will work:

"Phone" and "wap.cingular"

The Phone APN is the newer one and may run faster than wap.cingular, but I'm pretty sure AT&T has started throttling that once you reach a certain data threshold, so honestly it's just better to stick with wap.cingular

Also, you might want to disable Fast Dormancy for the best network results. This is a feature enabled by default on the Note which AT&T does not support, and it only serves to drain your battery and make your data connection erratic. You can disable it by going to *#*#9900#*#* from your dialer.

Let's see, what other quick tips can I think of to make the experience that much better... Oh, yes! Replace your homescreen launcher with something other than TouchWiz (because it sucks). I recommend ADW ex (because it is highly customizable and lightweight), or if you really want to be fancy, and are willing to dish out a couple bucks, use SPB Shell 3D. I like this one personally. Even though it isn't as customizable as other launchers, it uses native 3D acceleration to make the whole experience buttery smooth.

Also, get Google music, and on your PC, point the downloader to your iTunes directory. Let it do its thing, and low and behold, you have all your iTunes on your Note (and in the cloud!) just like that! Easy peasy!

Finally, don't be shy! Ask us questions! Community support and development is Android's greatest asset! ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] GatesHD:
Jade, thanks for all that info!! The IMEI is device specific though, if going into a store and "lifting" would'nt it already be in their system as their demo? Also the switch from iphone dataplan to Smartphone data plan, will that increase the data by that much? Never heard of the "fast dormancy issue" but will definitely look into that.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xAnimal5:
In my 1 and a half ownership of the note, i never received the tablet threat text. Strange....

Maybe it's because I went from an AT&T s2 to my note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ericshmerick:
I believe some IMEI's were transposed (accidentally) as tablets.

So, if you get a text about using a tablet, contact AT&T and explain its a smartphone.

will the phone keep getting all future ics upgrades through google?

is 4.0.3 stock rootable? and will root stay in upgrades? (so if i root and give her, Id like her to use titanium and stuff and not have to worry about losing root in future OTA.)

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madd0g:
How about reading the stickies.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superm1:
Nexus devices can always have their bootloaders unlocked and then install superuser afterward. When unlocking the bootloader all of her data will be lost.

Root is disable on OTA updates because permissions get adjusted. You can run a fix permissions in CWM or reflash a superuser zip file after the OTA to get root again.

You can go back to GB by flashing an old system image using fastboot if you don't like ICS.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k.electron:
