Dr,

1.From your Toolbox I have downloaded XPosed installer and Tweakbox mainly for enabling Call Recording.In the Tweakbox module I ticked the box of Call Recording and rebooted.After restart I checked while making a call.But there seen no option for recording the call in the caller screen.So I checked in the Call Settings.There also I could not see no option for the same.What to do now?

2.Now regarding Device Status.To change the Modified status I opened Syscope in Titanium Pro and cleared Data .Also opened Enterprises.Syscope and cleared Data(although the file size and Data size are shown zero).Then rebooted.When the the phone started I opened Settings and opened Syscope and cleared the Data.On opening Enterprises Syscope I could not clear Data as the box is greyed out(here also the file size and data size is zero).Again rebooted the phone.After about 15 minutes on restart when I checked Status it is still Modified.Is there any other way to change to official other than flashing Stock ROM and losing Root?

3.Another question.As I am now in rooted status with PreRooted ROM will I be getting OTA Updates from Samsung?And if I get such Updates and install them,will my Root Status be lost again?
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
1. Have you install xposed from inside xposed application ?

as well in xposed application you need to select tweak box too

2. try removing ext Sd card, and repeat data for sysscope

3. Highly unpredictable and depends on type of update

you may get update with root, may need to unroot, may need factory reset to update

as well you may / may not lose root

most commonly, you may need to unroot to get update and even if you get update on rooted device, most likely you will lose root.

Best way is again flash prerooted ROM with odin
[Galaxy Note II General] pnsdhrn:
Thank you Dr.The 2 Links you gave under 1 seemed to be gone .They show "410 Gone".And one more query to the answer in 3.If fash the PreRooted ROM based on the latest Update with Mobile Odin can I retain the Root Status?
[Galaxy Note II General] DevjaD:
latest firmware file... in torrent.. Anyone please...
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Both images are on post #8 of my all in one thread (look signature)

For prerooted rom you can flash with pc/mobile odin, root will remain intact.
[Galaxy Note II General] jujuburi:
Nandroid backs up everything right, including photos, videos and all (excluding external SD of course)?

Haven't slept in last two days, so confirming these steps as I can't think straight, will submit my phone to SC tomorrow and to make the status official and reset counter to 0 I need to do the followings:

1- Use Triangle Away to reset counter.

2- Flash back stock ROM via Desktop Odin, which will remove root.

3- Wipe data/factory reset to format everything.

Anything wrong?

TIA.
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
If you have custom recovery and kernel then replace with stock before proceeding step 1
[Galaxy Note II General] kkapoorr:
Just to confirm: If I might have CWM installed and might have any kernel, my counter would be more than one. Then I can do as you suggest above, and get beck to a fully stock phone? Capable of claiming warranty?

[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Just replacing recovery and kernel to stock not enough, you will have to reset counter too.
[Galaxy Note II General] eyan2011:
Has anyone tried using this app called "OTA root keeper" to keep root after an ota update. I'm not sure if this would work on the note 2 but I used this app on my nexus 7 once and it kept root after an ota update.

YouTube link : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ky5miA8ilr0&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Here's how it works:

It saves a protected copy of the "su" (root) and it temporarily unroots the device. Once your done updating the device you gain back your root using this app without the need of flashing root with Odin again.

Note : Again im not sure if this would work. So, ill keep you guys posted once Samsung release an ota update also a little heads up you'll need to be on stock recovery with device status normal to receive an ota.

Playstore link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.otarootkeeper
[Galaxy Note II General] kkapoorr:
Yes yes. Replacing recovery and kernel to stock, doing triangle away, flashing stock rom thru pc odin, and then reset.

Why is this reset needed?

Sent from my Note II
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Not compulsory, but sometime it needs to reset status 'Official/Normal'

Also removes all applications you have installed which needs root, as well remove all your private data. this is advisable before sending to service station.
[Galaxy Note II General] emze:
Question.. When ever I do a software update, is it necessary that I reset the phone? That's what a service center. Guy told me when I took my S1 for firmware update. I've been following that ever since.
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Not compulsory but if there is major update and particularly if you find lag or performance issue then go for it.
[Galaxy Note II General] kachrukamble:
Dude,

you are talking about those days when update comes with full wipe method.

these days updates, specially OTA, comes in small package and with no wipe method.

so much have changed...

Another question dr.When I enable Mobile Data it is exclusively in 3G.There sees no option to switch between 2G and 3G.In CM10 there is this option in the Pulldown notification bar..I would like to get this option as I have unlimited Data subscription in 2G.And whenever I wish to have highspeed data I can opt 3G also.So please advise how to activate this option.Waiting with thanks.....
[Galaxy Note II General] xpress7:
Long Press on the Mobile Data button. It will take you to Mobile Networks in Settings. From there go to Network mode and select GSM only for 2G only.
[Galaxy Note II General] iampunX:
Please note:

Please keep in mind that from the service provider's point of view, both 2G and 3G settings would act just the same.. Even if you're using your 3G data with 2G speed, the data would be used up from your 3G account.. At least that's how it used to be here in Kerala.. So if you're swapping between either to save 3G data for a later time, it wouldn't work.. You'd just end up using your 3G data with 2G speed.. Do correct me if I'm wrong..

This is exactly what happens with Vodafone in Delhi NCR.

Sent from my Note II
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Yeah correct
[Galaxy Note II General] xpress7:
That's both right and wrong. Its subjective. If you subscribed to both 3G and 2G data (means you have two separate plans activated for 2G and 3G) 2G data will be consumed while you are 2G and 3G data will be consumed while you were on 3G. I experienced it on my Airtel in AP. Don't know about other circles though. Both balances are separte in Airtel point of view, *123*10# for 2G balance, and *123*11# for 3G data.

But when you subscribed only for 3G, but using 2G on phone the data amount will be consumed from 3G. So its just waste of costly 3G data.

But staying on 2G have some advantages, IMO. For just messenger, and mail sync services staying on 2G will save battery. Calling while on 3G significantly heated up my phone, and battery consumption was very high compared to 2G ( It happened to me when I was using Moto Defy)

So my suggestion is stay on 2G for background sync services, and switch to 3G for download and browsing purposes.

Correct me if I am wrong. :)
[Galaxy Note II General] Ram121:
For Airtel in maharashtra i have experienced different thing that it consumes 3G data first then 2G data and when 3G data is over, for first 200mb it works on 3G speed even if you have 2G data (i think this is some problem with their sever).

I have experienced this twice.
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Yeah got it, airtel have 1 plan 150rs for 500mb of each 2g and 3g. Otherwise routinely you can have only one plan at a time.

I uninstalled the previously installed Xposed installer and tweakbox and then again installed them from the post#8 of your thread.Also I installed the Enable Call Recording apk from the same post.Evenafter this I cannot get the Call Recording option.

Further sa you said I removed the Sd Card and wiped Data of Syscope in Titanium and also in Settings/Apps.and rebooted Then inserted the Sd Card and checked the status after half an hour.But the status is again Modified.

So in both cases I am desperate.
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
You mean status was normal and again changed to modified?

regarding exposed, attach screenshot od exposed installer and dial screen here
[Galaxy Note II General] pnsdhrn:
Before rooting as it was pure stock(factory fresh), I hadn't checked the status.So I can't say what it was.But after rooting with Prerooted ROM it is Modified.Even if Syscope Data wiping done with Titanium and Settings both(with removing SdCard also).

Regarding taking screen shot,how it can be done?In CM10 there is an option for it in the Power Menu.Here I don't see that option in the Power Menu.
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Read setting - motion - learn about hand motion - swipe capture

Sometimes you needs factory reset to get status notmal

Your sysscope in titanium is of different colored?

Okay, this is kind of a shocker! Does our Note 2 have Gorilla Glass? I know it has been asked previously here on XDA, and some topics were closed. But what the hell? GSMArena, the most trusted site I believe, doesn't say so. Phonearena, another decent site, same! What am I missing here? And I don't think answers like, 'they just didn't update' it won't do, as even the newer devices like S4 has been updated already! I have searched all the device I know of, and all of them are mentioned as they have Corning GG, but the Note 2!

[Galaxy Note II General] jujuburi:
I am gonna go as far as I need to go with this, until I get a valid answer. At first Samsung adverstised it as it has GG 2, now if it doesn't I don't know what to say, but I ain't buying another Samsung. Sent an email to GSMArena, waiting for reply. Asked Corning already and got an usual reply,

*Note: They didn't say that it have GG. Good Lord!
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:

I second what Andrei said there. You're unlikely to scratch it without sand, and with sand, GG does scratch like hell too.

PS: The list doesn't have S4 either, so S4 doesn't have Gorilla glass either? One's listed there.
[Galaxy Note II General] xpress7:
But the OP later posted this in his forum

He posted it here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=33431660&postcount=35

So, I am not understanding the confusion. I don't like to use screen protector, I didn't have it on my past Moto Defy. I am not using on my Note 2 either. No scratches or anything till now. But now this topic is worrying me :)

When I was with Aircel carrier previously I used to have separate accounts with 2G & 3G.The accounting with these 2 accounts went separately without interfering with each other.So I was using 3G only when I required high speed traffic.As Aircel stopped their service in Kerala I changed to Idea and I think the scenario is unchanged with Idea also.
[Galaxy Note II General] iampunX:
I was on AirTel, and I still am.. And now that AirTel has stopped its 3G service in the circle, I'm not sure of this anymore :) I may port to !dea or BSNL very soon..

Edit: Separate 2G and 3G might only be given if either recharges are done and active.. I don't think a '3G alone' recharge would work as 2G whenever the user pleases.. 3G plans usually come with a high speed data limit, when crossed converters to unlimited 2G.. If simultaneous recharges can be done, swapping might work..

《Samsung Galaxy Note II ★ GT-N7100》
[Galaxy Note II General] Ram121:
Even if airtel had stopped 3G, if you are a existing costumer then you can recharge 3G from retailer.
[Galaxy Note II General] pnsdhrn:
Yes. Separate recharges to be done.I usually recharge for 3G with only a minimum amount.
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
yeah but does sysscope have purple background? i mean does it not freezed

OR you can check titanium back option - freeze/defrost - defrost all user & system app - you can see if sysscope is frozen or not, if it is frozen

-remove triangle away (uninstall)

-Defrost sysscope from titanium

-clear data for sysscope - reboot - check status

Motorola Bluetooth Keyboard problem

Strange issue--- Was using Motorola Bluetooth Keyboard Item model number: 89451N, worked fantastically with My Moto XOOM. Than used with Note 10.1, worked fine, now i m trying Very hard to connect with my Note2 but not able to. it is connected but option to use it as input method is not there. Tried some play store apps-- like null KB and external KB helper pro, not worked. Gave up. than today i got a chance to play with another note 2 ( Unrooted , on MB2) , and VOila , it connected like a charm in less than 5 Secs, So fun to work, i can type as fast as on my Lappy. Now the question --- What could be the Problem-- 1. Newer ROM, 2. Root with modified status 3. Or something else.

Please advise my friends as i do not wanna carry 3kg lappy once i have tasted the fun with Note 2 and KB combo !!!!

It's a known issue.. I've it.. Tried everything up my sleeves but I couldn't sort it out.. Haven't done a full data wipe coz I didn't want to go through the hassle of installing every apps all over..

My observation: There has to be one system app under application manager, whose data and cache when cleared, might sort this out.. But I don't know which app..

I don't know about your circle, but here ( Airtel, AP) 3G only plans are working for 2G as well. I use to recharge with 99 which gives me 300 MB of 3G data. But usually I activate 2G only for chatting and mail syncing. But the amount will be deducted form my 3G balance. And when I download something or browsing I use 3G. So basically 3G data can be used either as 3G or 2G.

And no, for us, it won't convert to unlimited 2G, when 300MB finished, it is just end of Data plan. That type of plans only available for Rs 655 and above :(

-Defrost sysscope from titanium

-clear data for sysscope - reboot - check status[/QUOTE]

Dear dr....At last 2 good news .Syscope wasn't frozen.But another one, Google playbook, was frozen.I defrosted it,wiped Data of Syscope in Titanium and restarted.Now the status is normal.As such, can I receive Updates even though rooted.This question is only for knowledge sake.

Another good news is the Tweakbox is fully functional and I got Call Record function now.The mistake was mine.When I opened first the Xposed installer I missed to click the "Install/Update" Button.Now I clicked it and updated.Then I ticked the options in Tweakbox and restarted.Everything is functional now.Many many thanks.I even made the Status Bar colour to the same as the Home screen so that the screean itslf appears wider now.Actually I want to post it here for your viewing.But I don't know the procedure for it.I took a screen shot of it and tried to copy it to my desktop using USB.But in sdcard or phone I could not see it in the PC.

Now some more questions.

1.If I uninstall some unwanted System apks using Titanium will the device status change again?

2.Whether the Internet and Chrome apks are the same?If I uninstall Chrome browser will the Internet browsing be adversely affected?I want to install Puffin Browser instead of Chome.It has better HDML video viewing than Chrome.

3.Similarly I see 2 Music apks namely Music Player and Google Play Music.I only want the basic Music Player.So if uninstall Google Pay Music will the music playing function be negatively affected?

4.And lastly why the Google Playbook apk is freezing always spontaneously?I am not opening it at any time not even by mistake.

Waiting and thanking you once again.....

Play book is frozen to all in indian rom, so that would not be issue, but any way that's good it solved now. Still ota you may or may not get, it's well and good if you get but again that may erase root.

Yeah I was suspecting some mistake in xposed that's why asked you for screenshot. BTW you can find it in internal sdcard/pictures/screenshots.

Yes I am also using transparent status bar with xposed tweakbox. There are two limitations with xposed, you have to pull down notification once after every reboot to take status bar transparency active and you can't make it transparent on lock screen, but still its fine. After xposed framework, i am no more using any extra mod.

1.i don't think so. But refer which applications are safe to remove if you have any confusion. (sticky thread in themes and applications section)

2.you can safely remove chrome without affecting stock browser

3.you can remove that too

4.as I said above it's regional setting and normal.
