Okay placing it under root and checking....

But what should I do about ActiveSync then! It worked pretty damn fine two weeks back on my older Note 2! That's the only way I can have Push notifications. There must be a way...
[Galaxy Note II General] tuxonhtc:
Yes because I'm assuming your device is older than Jan 2013 or something? Hence it worked on your Note II (as mentioned in the link). Have you tried Maildroid or K9?
[Galaxy Note II General] jujuburi:
K9 I tried previously but it doesn't have 'sent email notifications'. Is there any app which supports Push and sent email notifications. I am trying to configure Touchdown at the moment but unable to!

The battery drains more faster on the latest firmware while playing games. This latest built in fact heats up my cell at times. I never had any heating issues with the previous built. Battery life is getting less with every update from Samsung. Guys, your experience with the latest firmware?

Dear dr,

Since I saw your provided thread I was going through various threads of XThemeEngine and XThemeEngine apks.Out of all of them I could see only one apk that suits more or less to my aspirations.And it is none other than your proposed VividTW apk.I installed it and got the battery icon changed to coloured circle.But the %Text is duplicating-one outside the ring and one inside the ring.Also the statusbar colour is not 100% Transparent.I think it has not changed at all .Just remains in the colour I changed to with Xposed.Is there a way to change it to 100% transparent with any other apk?

Then I found an apk using which the Battery icon can be changed to coloured ring directly with Xposed without using XThemeEngine.It is UOT Kitchen style apk.It is more nice than Vvid.But there also the %Text is duplicating and Status bar colour is not changing to100% Transparent.

Also I found an apk 'Enable Camera On Lockscreen apk' and installed it and activated the module in Xposed and rebooted.But the Camera does not appear in Lock screen.Am I missing something to do?And what is the procedure to open the camera if it appears on lock screen?

And is there an apk or module using which in Xposed we can add TOGGLE SWITCH FOR 3G/2G in the PULLDOWN NOTIFICATION BAR?

Sorry for putting these series of questions before you.But I think it will be helpful to some others also who are tweak savvy.

So waiting with thanks again......

[Galaxy Note II General] SacGuru:
So if I order, say batteries or cases from ebay.com, which are really cheap (around $10-20) they will not have any custom duty imposed on them, and all I would pay for them are the total charges including shipping to India as mentioned on that particular item?

[Galaxy Note II General] jujuburi:
Someone has already answered, but still I am answering because I am a crazy buyer of international eBay. From one dollar to tow thousand I purchased everything I liked.

So as an additional confirmation, yes, there will be no other charges other than item's and shipping. And as one already said, if you do buy a pricey item ask the seller to mark it as a gift, if he agrees then you are good to go.

Just make sure you are buying from a reputed seller and I have a tendency to ask 2-3 questions to the seller before ordering something finally. There should not be any confusion and it's better to sort out if any, BEFORE making the purchase.
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Outside circle battery % you can disable from setting - display

Status bar transparency, you can use tweakbox

I am missing something? Or simply you can put camera icon on Lockscreen from setting - lockscreen - lockscreen option - short cut

Or you saying something different?

There is option to open camera with motion under setting - mition

I am not aware of application for putting data toggle in notification bar, may be notification pro or something in Play store have multiple features, just have a look there.
[Galaxy Note II General] SacGuru:
Thabks a lot for that answer! I am thinking about buying a spare battery for the Note 2, which I guess would be around 10-20 dollars, so I guess I wouldn't have to worry about the customs there. But I am also thinking about a used PS3 which would be anything around $100-200, so even though it's strictly not under the scope of this thread, can you suggest if I would have to pay extra custom duty on it?

[Galaxy Note II General] jujuburi:
Battery won't go through custom that's 100% sure. I can say the same for the PS3 too, if the seller marks it as a 'gift'. So send a message to the seller and see if he agrees or not.

And if it indeed go through customs then see how much could it be,

Yes .There is an 80% chance that you should have to pay customs duty if the cost is above $100.00 and the item is a phone unless you possess an import licence.There is a rare chance that you might be escaped from their random checking of imported items.

Thank you dr.

Outside circle battery % got removed with settings.

Using Tweakbox the Statusbar Transparency can be achieved to only somewhat nearer to the Home Screen Colour(not exactly to the same).That too by trial and error several times.There can't be seen direct single option to achieve 100% Transparency in Tweakbox

Now coming to Camera on lock screen.I already know the option in Settings.It uses either motion or sound.But my actual need is putting the Camera Icon/Widget in Lock Screen and activate it by pressing it physically or by any other physical means.I thought EnableCameraOnLockscreen apk can be used for that.That's why I installed it and activated it in the Xposed module.But on rebooting the Camera doesn't appear on the Lock Screen.So what actually is the function of this apk and how can the Camera be operated from the Lock Screen using it?
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
I have camera shortcut on Lockscreen and simply sliding it, i can open camera. May be you have password/pattern lock that's why you need third party applications /tweak.

Transparent status bar is simple step in Tweakbox

Select status bar in Tweakbox - background color (also check mark ) - there is small horizontal box just below color picker - scroll that small horizontal box cursor to extreme right - now there is two horizontal box - select left one

Restart - done

You have missed/forget, I have three time said you path how to select camera and torch on Lockscreen (there shouldn't pin/pattern lock)

Setting - lockscreen - lockscreen option - short cut (select and press on shortcut, it will open) - set application you want to set.

For torch you need search light application from play Store.

I don't know if any of you guys are facing this, but lately, my auto brightness and auto rotate seem to be getting corrupted randomly.. Especially the former.. Auto brightness automatically gets set into full brightness and even under total darkness, it would remain so.. Tested the ambient light sensor and it was working perfect.. As of auto rotate, it sometimes just stop functioning.. No matter what I do, it wouldn't automatically rotate when the phone is turned out tilted.. But strangely enough, the auto rotate does work for a very few apps like my calculator and Dolphin browser.. Also if I activate the the keyboard to type something, the rotate would start working.. Would continue to work even if the keyboard is pulled back.. But then the error would come back again after a while.. But for apps like gallery for which we can't use a keyboard, this cannot be done.. Tested the gyroscope and it was working well too.. Yes, tried turning off smart rotate as well but it didn't help.. A restart would always solve either issues but what do you think is causing this? I can't quite put my finger on it but I think both these errors are somehow connected..

Thank you dear dr. for the kind reply.

Statusbar-I made it transparent in accordance with your steps.But with a slight variation.When I moved the cursor in horizontal bar to extreme right(white box in right below) and pressed the left box,after reboot the statusbar became black.So I moved the cursor in the horizontal bar to extreme left and pressed the left box.Now it is transparent after reboot.

Camera and Torch-Sorry for my negligence.Now I removed the lock pattern and set Camera,Voice Recorder and torch in the lock screen .Now they can be opened by sliding on them.

I would really recommend using a stock based ROM - it could only get better, right? At least root and install Perseus IMO - it can shave off extra brightness, screen filter drains more battery if anything, right? And you're missing out on audio and screen enhancements, seriously. It's like utilizing half the power of your Note II.
