[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] computingwarren:
I have looked at this phone for the past few weeks and have noticed it's the best phone out there. I'd love to get one, but I have a dilemma.

I don't have an upgrade on Verizon til next July/June. I am currently on a rooted Gnex but the battery life is terrible, and my fingers are huge so sometimes it's hard to type. The size is good, but not big enough. Data speeds/Wifi isn't that great either.

I'm wondering, is it worth to spend retial for the Note II?

I want some input/advice, if possible.

Or maybe if I should wait, since maybe a better phone will be out around next summer. Thanks!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EvoYas:
Inpaid full price for it. Its worth paying full price for it be ause as you said its the best out there and it will be the best for a while. It gets alot of the things done with pure satisfaction.

If money is not an issue for you than yes its worth getting this phone for full price.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 21stNow:
Do you have unlimited data on VZW? If so and you want to keep it, you would buy your devices at full price anyway so I would say go for the Note II. Also, people with larger fingers tend to like the original Note, so I would think that the Note II would be better suited for you than the Galaxy Nexus. I can't make comments on the battery life and what the experience will be like on VZW. I hear far more complaints from VZW Galaxy Nexus users than from GSM Galaxy Nexus users; I don't know if that will carry over to the SG Note II or not.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MinionOfEckerd:
I'm sorta in the same boat as the OP (except I'm stuck with the Droid 3... :p). Contract doesn't end until July and grandfathered in to unlimited data. Thinking about switching for the following reasons:

Verizon will most likely end unlimited data within the next year/two years. With 4G speeds, I'm afraid I'm going to go way above the tiered data limits (would probably end up sticking with 2 GB). This would cost me more money (on top of an already astronomical bill).

The 3G speeds are killing me on my Droid 3 so I could turn off the LTE on the GNote2 but I shudder at the idea of going back to 3G speeds with a new phone.

If I buy a Verizon-branded/banded Gnote2, the resale value will probably be a lot less than if I bought an Int'l or AT&T version (due to GSM).

So now I'm looking at ending my contract with Verizon (ETF would be about $150 and switching to StraightTalk (I know, data is somewhat capped at 2gb but that will be harder to reach with HSPA speeds.) Either wait for AT&T version to be released in the states and buy one off-contract or buy an international one (when the price will hopefully be lower).
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] computingwarren:
Unlimited data isn't a problem. I don't have it, but I connect to WiFi anywhere and everywhere.

Don't get the best WiFi connection and 4G isn't that great.

I'm probably going to get the Note 2 in a few months. And when I have my upgrade, if there is something better, sell my Note 2.

About battery, I get 5-6 hours and my friend on his SG3 gets 10-12. So I'm hoping the Note 2 is just as good or better.

Being that it has a 3100 mah battery.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] computingwarren:
Just noticed that its not even in the US yet, lol.

Any idea on retail prices? I'm seeing $700.

[guide] adding 14 statusbar toggles to samsung galaxy y duos, y pro duos & ace duos

RATIONALE

When i set out to cook to cook my first and currently only custom rom for my first and currently only android device, i realised that porting those beautiful 14 statusbar toggles to to samsung galaxy y pro duos was not as easy as the original guide by xda member Lidroid and it's variants portrayed. i spent nearly two weeks searching and trying without success until i got some support from XDA-developers recognised contributer, Millan.sis. Together we were able to port the toggles to galaxy y pro duos. Note that Millan.sis did say Manoranjan2050 or so i think, was the first to port the statusbar toggles to the duos based phones.

having come across yet another person struggling for nearly two weeks to port these toggles to samsung galaxy ace duos, i decided to write a guide or more accurately modify the standard guide by lidroid to make it applicable on samsung galaxy dual sim based phones i n the hope that many more people will come out and cook more custom roms for these devices.

ACKNOWLEDMENTS

If you find this guide useful, you should perhaps thank me, but never forget to thank these people too. for without them this guide would never have come into existence

Lidroid for the original guide

Millan.sis for for being the first to port these toggles into duos phones providing me with the codes

Kundal for glaxy y duos codes

DISCLAIMER

In my experience, the worst that may happen to your phone if you mod your SystemUI.apk is that you loose your statusbar, a situation you can always recover from by replacing modded SystemUI.apk unmodded SystemUI.apk.

All these same, you are modding your SystemUI.apk at your own risk. I am not responsible for any damage that may come to your phone as a result of you using this guide, the original guide by lidroid or any of the tools mentioned in this guide.

THINGS YOU WILL NEED

Linux users

apk-tool, F-J Apk-tool or equivalent

patience and some common sense

windows users

Notepad++ or equivalent

apk-tool or apk-manager and their equivalents

patience and some common sense

Mac users

i'm sorry i can't help you as i have never owned a mac before but if you can get a tool capable of compiling and decompiling apk files, then you can adapt this guide to your own needs.

All OS users

Deodexed SystemUI.apk (smali files are only found in deodexed apps)

Read the original guide by Lidroid here and download Lidroid-res.apk, LidroidSystemUI.apk and QuickPanelSettings.apk

android sdk (optional) to give you adb support is not a bad idea since you will be able to directly push your finished work into the appropriate directories and reboot your phone to enjoy your toggles. Link is here

Dsixda's android kitchen (optional) for deodexing your stock rom and for signing. link is here

Batch auto apk modding tool for all OS platforms is available here

Link to apk-manager for both linux and windows is here

Thanks Kundal. I have never decompiled SystemUI.apk for S6102. Galaxy ace duos and y pro duos have same code when I decompiled them. Can someone upload SystemUI.apk of galaxy y duos for? Its handy to have a collection
[Galaxy Y Duos S6102 Android Development] Warren87:
thanks for the tutorial.
[Galaxy Y Duos S6102 Android Development] Kundal:
Here's my deodexed SystemUI.apk from GT S6102 XXLH1 Rom.
[Galaxy Y Duos S6102 Android Development] arbayong:
Thanks once again Kundal for uploading. i decompiled you SystemUI.apk and it is as you said. I have also realised that you have had some experience in working with lidroid toggles. can you add a word on say changing the background themes etc

Since i am not sure if SystemUI.apk varies (i don't think so but...) varies with different baseband (firmware) versions, could someone else with a version different from Kundal's upload his SystemUI.apk? once this is done, i will edit my original post and credit Kundal and other uploaders as is appropriate.
[Galaxy Y Duos S6102 Android Development] Kundal:
I heavily modded my SystemUi.apk and framework-res.apk. Basically I used UOT kitchen to get a black transparent background and to change statusbar icons. So far it's not really related to lidroid toggles.

With lidroid I replaced icons in /res/drawable-hdpi of lidroid-res.apk. It's easy to identify the icons you have to replace. They all have names like stat_gps_on.png. To replace icons you only need to open lidroid-res.apk with 7-Zip, navigate to /res/drawable-hdpi and drag your own (properly named) icons there to overwrite the originals.

To change the language of icon descriptions, notifications etc. you'll have to decompile lidroid-res.apk and edit the file /res/values/strings.xml. After recompiling the file I opened the original lidroid-res-apk with 7-Zip and dragged the modified file resources.arsc into it to preserve the signature of the original.
[Galaxy Y Duos S6102 Android Development] arbayong:
thanks. i already changed icon packs and statusbar notification area using UOT. thanks for the info on language of icon discription and how to manually change icons without kitchen

recompiled and signed with x-took [ apk tool] and after pushing it didnt worked;

moreover i have modified pngs in systemui.apk earlier , which never created any problem may be because i never decomplied as png are to be replaced only with 7zip.

[Galaxy Y Duos S6102 Android Development] Deadly:
You need deodexed rom.. and try other guides and see if that works..
[Galaxy Y Duos S6102 Android Development] amit34521:
i am using deodexed systemui.apk and have tried all the guides. If you want i can attach my systemui.apk and the modded one too.

ALSO THE PRECOMPILED 14 TOGGLES WHICH AS WORKING EARLIER IS NOT WORKING NOW TOO.
[Galaxy Y Duos S6102 Android Development] arbayong:
As a general rule never try to mode from a previously decompiled n recompiled SystemUI.apk. take a stock apk decompile n mod lidroid toggles alone. Recompile it and try again. Give us feedback after that
[Galaxy Y Duos S6102 Android Development] sak-venom1997:
I totally agree with you mod from the stock apk modding apks that are premodded often fails
[Galaxy Y Duos S6102 Android Development] amit34521:

[Galaxy Y Duos S6102 Android Development] arbayong:
you never provided information on the type of phone you are using. are you using galaxy ace duos, galaxy y duos or galaxy y pro duos?

the codes in you statusBarService.smali seems to be galaxy y duos. please confirm it is true.

there are errors decompiling your stockSystemUI.apk so also confirm that it has in fact not previously been modded.

if it is galaxy y duos, please read the first post and the eighth post by Kundall before trying to mod your systemUI.apk

Do you inSecured services.jar?? If no, then you need to resign all system apks after adding flashlight lines in AndroidManifest.xml file, because services.jar checks if all system apps are signed with one certificate....

1st delete SystemUI.odex, SystemUI.apk then copy all files from "without_flashlight" directory to their locations, SystemUI.odex is not needed anymore....

Based on what I read here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1962752

1. In the settings.db change dun_apn_changeable to 1 (line 122)

2. Create an APN named Tethering and copy all the settings from your provider's APN. Enter ",dun" in the APN Type.

I did not need to make it active.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Das_mobile:
So now it works on Atrix HD tethering works with T-Mobile? Can we just delete out the AT&T APN and put in epc.tmobile.com or internet2.voicestream.com?

Error in changing usb entitlement and entitltement

I have the AHD rooted and used the SQlite Editior but and error came up saying can't open data base??? I am using straight talk as the service provider and has any body else had this problem?
[Motorola Atrix HD] diamond12:
Per OP

- Phone has to be rooted

- entitlement_check changed to 0 (or disabled)

I used aShell and aSQLiteManager, which are free. The file is in data/data/com.motorola.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db entitlement_check is line 107 for me.

Apparently it's an APN issue. There's more info in the thread I linked. If I understand it correctly T-Mobile has a hidden APN for tethering. You can either replace it with modified APNs, as suggested in that thread or what I did was change the setting so that the tethering APN can be changed and then create my own. The AT&T APNs aren't used when on the T-Mobile network, so there's no reason to delete them.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Das_mobile:
Thanks, I know you have to use epc.tmobile.com with T-Mobile network. Just didn't understand the part of using SQ editor to disable the lock.
[Motorola Atrix HD] engsrini:
Hi,

it worked like charm, thank you very much ok all here is the steps,

once you got your phone rooted

1. open SQlite editor and scroll to Settings Storage (com.motorola.android.provider.settings

2. click settings.db

3. click settings

4. change dun_apn_changeable to 1 (line 122) and exit

5. Create an APN named Tethering and copy all the settings from the T-Mobile US APN. Enter ",dun" in the APN Type.

6. It doesnt need to be selected as active.

7. try tethering now.

thanks
[Motorola Atrix HD] fromanbr:
It doesn't need to be T-Mobile US APN. Copy the APN of your carrier naming it "Tethering" and typing ",dun" in the APN type.. I live in Brazil and didn't use T-Mobile APN.
[Motorola Atrix HD] diamond12:
Sorry for the confusion. It's because both engsrini and I are on T-Mobile. It should probably say:

5. Create an APN named Tethering and copy all the settings from your provider's APN. Enter ",dun" in the APN Type.
