If you want have only original language pack (german in is) you have to install original ROM with new SPL and actualization by Zune but you can't unlock that:

Now you haven't HSPL - your SPL is 1.22, must be HSPL-1.22. When do you want install UNLOCK customROM you have to install RSPL/HSPL: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1195647and customROM eg: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1485653

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] pj_rage:
The Note is my first Android phone coming from iPhone and so far I'm loving the phone and loving Android. It's obviously much much more customizable in a lot of ways (theming, widgets, settings, etc), and I find that it loads most applications much faster and does things quite a bit faster than I'm used to on my iphone 4.

One thing I'm surprised about, and maybe I'm not looking in the right places or I have it all wrong, is that there aren't many _low level_ tweaks available? It's mostly just widgets and themes, but nothing really available that can change the core behavior of your phone as you can with tweaks on a jailbroken iPhone?

For example, two things I've looked for so far that seemed like no-brainer easy peasy things.... music controls for the notification bar (or perhaps music controls that are accessed by overriding a capacitive button, such as holding down the settings button), and a user agent faker for the default browser. Yes I know there are other browsers available, but that's not the point (I tried Dolphin browser HD and did not like it.. it was slower and less responsive than the stock browser).

Those two examples may have their own workarounds (I know notification music controls are coming in ICS, and about:useragent will temporarily change the user agent), but I'm really getting at a larger question here. Other examples of "low level tweaks" from iphone that I kind of liked -- if you are viewing a text window above an open keyboard (ie gtalk, sms) and scroll down within the text window, it moves the keyboard out of the way. This was really natural for me, and just a simple download from Cydia. Another example -- swiping up from the bottom of the phone opening the multitasking bar -- again, really natural and awesome... a better fit for iphone for sure, but again, I'm not necessarily looking for those _exact_ tweaks, just offering some examples of what *types* of tweaks I'm referring to as "low level tweaks". Based on that, is there somewhere I can look to find these *types* of tweaks?

Unless I'm mistaken, it seems that to get these low level tweaks, you need a custom ROM? And then I guess you either need to learn how to build your own custom ROM, or hope that a dev will bake *all* of YOUR favorite tweaks into the _same_ ROM. Is that assessment about right when talking about low level tweaks? Or maybe there are other ways to add these tweaks, such as using adb to push them over? If so, where might I actually locate tweaks like this -- is there a repository / database / market of them somewhere?

FWIW I am rooted and OC'd using Da G's kernel (thanks Da G!). I've never dealt with custom ROMs on android so I'm partially speculating based on what I've heard about them and the lack of low level stuff on the market.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] BigBison420:
i think your comparing apples to oranges.

Apple keeps it simple and navigation is seamless IF YOU USE the device the way THEY INTENDED. step outside of that little box and they won't even support you .. i.e. jailbreak - after jailbreaking you can screw your phone up with all kind of cracked apps and all that junk.

As far as the keyboard moving out of the way, i don't think their are a great deal of ppl who care too much about that.... i think android compensates quite well in other areas. :)

having owned both platforms i would say it like this:

Apple holds software to a higher regard than hardware. after all, if you can't use your phone because it force-closes every 2 seconds then what's the point.

If you are like me and you like to "think outside the box" a little bit, then there are more possibilities with android... seems like eventually android drives you to learn more about your phone and how stuff works. i call it "the phone for adults!" lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] greyhulk:
As far as the keyboard is concerned, you just need to download a different one. Go Keyboard, for example, has a button you can press to hide the keyboard whenever you want.

There's always an app/widget/setting in Android that will let you accomplish almost anything you want. That's the beauty of the platform.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] welchertc:
Hitting the back button while in a text field will hide the keyboard, and allow you to scroll in the text box.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wx4olf:
I'm not sure about low level tweaks but you could try something other than the default TW launcher and keyboard to achieve some of the gesture based control you mention. For example, Swiftkey X has gestures to hide the keyboard by swiping down and ADWlauncher allows you to program the swipe up function to various things.

Hi xda members, this is my first post, i'll try to be brief. And also, my post can be placed in wrong place or stg, i'm sorry for everyone :o

I live in Turkey and using an Nokia 7610 since 2005. I think that the time has come to buy a new phone. My uncle lives in Portugal-Lisbon and i'm looking the galaxy note 32 gb version, i found it on austria, ditech.at. So, my question is,

If i buy it from ditech and tell them "send it to portugal" , can they send it(with no or reasonable customs tax)? Because of i'm living in Turkey, i don't know much thing about EU's and Portugal's customs policy.

P.S : Thank you for your help and spending your valuable time for me... :)

Hmmm, what CyanogenMod version does it say in about phone?

also, how did you go about getting that version on your phone?

was it a clean flash; meaning wipe data, cache partition and dalvik

flash rom

flash gapps (this may be your issue) did you use 20120215 verison?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eatmeimadanish:
I can confirm that this issue is a result of not flashing the current GAPPS properly. Reboot into recovery and reflash GAPPS from the new download link.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PAPutzback:
So for an update for .03 to .04 can we get a way with:

Wipe Cache Partition

Mounts and Storage -> Format /system

Mounts and Storage -> Format /boot

Advanced -> Wipe Dalvik Cache

and finally Install ROM then gapps.

I am going through them all again. I need the calendar more than I need to make calls.

okay...here is a question that has been bugging me:

What causes MMC_delayed_work wake lock? Is it just one thing or is this an Android dump for all sorts of crap? Is it 100% normal and part of the ICS experience?

I have Googled it to no end and came back with nothing concrete....signaling the fact that it is way over my head.

Even returning to stock and then flashing CM9 anew (no apps) does not make it go away.

My batt life is fine now after disabling the LED (which interestingly also reduced MMC wake lock greatly) but if I could get rid of this MMC nightmare it could be amazing.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PAPutzback:
That is the one I used. After going through all the steps again I still don't have a calendar sync option. I've even removed the account and re-added it back. I really don't want to do a factory reset because I'll probably have to chase down the Good admin for a new key.

i been trying everything, but i found the problem and solved it, the lady from sprint actually called it while i was on the phone with her but i didnt think that was the issue.

The issue was that i had all my calls and texts forwarded to my google voice account, as i was trying use it as an alternative for voicemail since cm9 was having issues with it, i guess i set it up wrong and didnt bother to go and check if that was it until right before i went the gym, i checked my google voice and all the text messages i sent myself was there, as well as all the people that been textin me, i didnt think google voice would do that with my text messages.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
You only need an updated PRL for roaming not connecting to local tower or for signal strength. You should not even need to update your profile but can try it. You will need to be on a TW ROM for that. You can try the EL30 boot from sd card if you don't have an MTD backup of a TW ROM. Or make a nandroid, flash CleanGB MTD, update PRL and Profile then restore your nandroid.

When you manage apps, click on an app in the list. There is a Move to SD Card button it will be enabled if the app can be moved.

As far as the app cache; it may be that the ICS setup is confusing that app if it hasn't been updated to run in ICS. You could probably email the dev, I wasn't able to find a confirmation either way on that.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StoneRyno:
I ran across a couple of apps that google play says are not compatible with version. Yet one of the two I previously bought and works perfectly fine installed from a backup. So I'm wondering is there some sort of flags the app devs use that excludes android versions or something? The other app is TurboTax which has an update date of today. Seeing as ICS has been out for a while now and there are more than one device officially running ICS it seems to me that they would have made it compatible if it wasn't previously and that is also assuming this app isn't brand new to android. Which I suspect it is since the download count is only 1,000. All the more reason why I find it odd that it would not be compatible with ICS. I guess the real question: is the app really not compatible with ICS or is this due to something with CM9 that causes google play to see it as not a valid version?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Yes. There are flags for android version, resolution, phone model, carrier, location and others.
