I'm guessing my question is dumb enough. I got the notification that my storage is full. I clicked on the notification bar icon and it sent me a list of apps and their size. Email was 300+mb. I cleaned up my inboxes and now I can't get back to that menu. Dumb. I have 4 accounts. Dumb 2. The app manager doesn't show the email app, unless I'm blind. Is there some directory with stale mail? I'm rooted, but no custom Rom.

Edit: found email memory in app manager "all" instead of "downloaded". Duh. Titanium says 400+mb email data so clearing inbox did nothing.

Edit 2: I decided to delete all the data, accounts included. I only added back my Comcast email account so it was pretty painless. Glad to see people are still around here. Keep on truckin
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Gallion:
So what you are saying is that what provides all the s-pen features is touch wiz? Not some sort of driver? Unless touch wiz IS a driver?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] developweb:
GMD spen control can be used in a non tw rom. It supports many uses of the s pen. Some kk and lp Roms also support s-pen features out of box. That being said Samsung stock Roms do it best.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Gallion:
Let's say that I just want to be able to use the s-pen instead of my fingers in any app, as well as have pressure-sensitivity in the apps that support it, do I need something like GMD s-pen control or Touch Wiz?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
You'll need a touchwiz rom for that level of interaction. ..g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Gallion:
I have just installed Candy5 along with the required TWRP recovery. However I need to install Magisk and it is instructed to "Make sure to remove any other root, your best bet would be restoring your boot image back to stock". So I have to start over with a stock ROM. Is that really all that's required to unroot? Can I keep TWRP installed or do I have to flash that back to stock too? I don't see any root app like SuperSU installed on the phone right now. So is it still rooted or is it really necessary to flash back to stock?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Bubba:
First .. congrats on having that phone still alive and well. Mine is long gone.

Some Roms are not rooted. Your best bet would be to download a root checker app and see if it is or isn't rooted. Then go from there.If it isn't rooted you should be good to go. If it is, you might find a non rooted stockish rom to flash. You should be able to keep TWRP. If you have to use Odin to get stock I am pretty sure you will need to reinstall TWRP.

They are using this base for some kick butt builds ...g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DARKCHYLDX101:
Does notification tray, settings, and system apps use the same backround png(s) in ICS stock ROMs? Long while ago I was working on a cm7 theme (Samsung Captivate) and all I had to change was one PNG file I believe. Is it the the same for stock ROMs and what's the name of the file?

Novena injected I717 Samsung Galaxy Note
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
Which background would you be referring to?

Sounds like you would need to theme

Systemui.apk

(Whatever system apps you were referring to)

And the settings.apk

But I'm not too sure which image you're looking for.

Pic?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DARKCHYLDX101:
I think ROM manager, contacts, and more share the same back round image. Idk. Could be the cm7 template I was using or maybe that's how cm7 theme chooser was setup. I was in learning stages back then and then my PC crashed, lost all my work and gave up. Wanna try again I'll keep looking through system ui.

Novena injected I717 Samsung Galaxy Note
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Bubba:
I'm in no way an expert ... But each apk should have it's own background image. It may very well be the exact same image in each ... But the individual apk should have it's own exclusive image to use for background ... if I am understanding your question.

In other words ... The background for each apk could different if that's what you want.

Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Froid:
A few apps will pull the background image from the framework-res.apk in the drawable-nodpi folder(settings, tibu, etc.). Contacts background is pulled from its own nodpi folder. Touchwiz is a different animal, but similar in how it pulls the bg image. You'll find that most apps have their own bg image. And please....correct me if I'm wrong as well. :)

Amybody got a stock rom and oc kernel combo they want to recomendable?

---------- Post added at 05:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:07 AM ----------

I found s stock rom de i really like it, but there doesnt seem to be an oc kernel for it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] LittleRedDot:
Ok I have a true stupid question:

If the phone charges whilst on, and charges whilst off, why can't it charge whilst in recovery?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Bubba:
How long are you planning on being in recovery?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] LittleRedDot:
Well I was in the process of switching roms and I heard my cat crying outside and I had to spend an hour coaxing his dumb @ss out of a tree and my phone went dead. Just curiosity really though, why not be able to charge in recovery?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Bubba:
Hence the reason I'm a dog person ... Come on boy .... No? .... Ok ... Cya.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
That's actually a clever question disguised as a simple one. Ionno the answer for certain but my theory :

Its likely the kernel process that detects a Usb input and starts the charging isn't running in recovery because you'll potentially overwrite said kernel with that process going?

Grasping at straws with a semieducated guess
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] LittleRedDot:
Then how do you explain being able to download via usb in recovery.

Maybe that's just amon ra recovery?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
You have to manually mount the sdcard for mass storage in recovery, or even booted into android, thus starting the process yourself.

It doesn't happen as soon as you plug it in to the pc like charging would.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] LittleRedDot:
I see, so then it should be theoretically possible to create a recovery that allows charging?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ash359:
How are kernels used?

I am running padawan 6.2 which doesn't come with an overclock kernel.

It's it possible to simply flash one in?

How about fast charging or boot animation?

Still a clueless newb
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Bubba:
Yes. Kernels can just be flashed in. However not any kernel will work with every rom. Make sure you pick one that will work with your rom. If you are very new..don't be in a rush. I never overclock. Don't see the need for it.

Just be careful.

Are there any apps or mods that will enable me to remap the search button to launch a custom application or add long press application launch to other capacitive buttons

written in your mud with my stick
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ash359:
Hmm, that's the real question then. How do I find one that is compatible with my Rom?

I've had experience flashing in different radios, and the earlier padawan versions food have OC before it got rebased
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rquiett:
The reason there isn't one for the current version is due to it being based on a firmware that there is no kernel source for. No kernel source means no OC.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Bubba:
Nova launcher will let you do that with the home button. But that's the only one I believe. Other launchers may allow for more options.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Bubba:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] LittleRedDot:
Ok I have another question...

I'm running a kernel that has bln support and I've tried bln apps from the market, but none of the apps seem to recognize that the kernel has bln support. Do I need to look for a setting (in stock rom) to change the bln settings?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Froid:
What ROM and kernel are you running?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ash359:
Padawan 6.2

Edit: Whoops, I thought someone was just asking for Rom ideas
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Froid:
Well in your case Ash, there isn't any kernel support yet for that base because we don't have source. You have to use the stock kernel and it doesn't support oc/uv or bln.

Edit:lol. I just saw your edit. My question was in response to the previous question. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nutpants:
Why can't kernel sources and other required libraries be Decompiled to allow reverse engineering.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nutpants:
Which base Rom has the newest changelist?

Uclf6 or the Canadian Rom?

after looking into it. it seems that by changelist the Canadian ics rom is newer than uclf6

which leaves another stupid question... why is everyone building roms based on the older

more bug (in theory) infested uclf6 US rom??

there was a quick jump to the 7005 rom even though it did not have support for nfc...

but next to nothing built on the TLLF4 rom??? {other than Nebula |TLLF4| 10|30 }

just wondering how things work

written in your mud with my stick
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
Because we don't have source code for Jelly Bean yet.

Once source drops for the note, then a whole new world of roms will pop up..

Source is the key.....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nutpants:
neither rom is jelly bean, both are older ics roms.. source should be available..

even if its not customizations of an older rom that is expected to have more bugs and possibility less features

seems unusual ( ie ttlf rom has no restricted tethering uclf6 dose and requires a hack for that feature).

maybe beacuse uclf6 is a us centered rom and many of the devs here are us centered but that dose

not explain the excitement of the new 7005 rom.

im just spit balling ideas,, i have no idea the regional make up of the devs here..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
Likely that our devs are moving on toward JB ...

there is only so much work that can be done to a rom..

Perhaps our devs are content with the level we are at ?

Padawan....Blackstar .....Novena....are seeing good development right now.

So I'm not sure what you are looking for...

Granted, the note is slowing on development, as expected since the 2 is out, but I believe the note is still well supported ...g

I recently switched. To parandroid for my gnote. At first I lost my toggle bar at the top. I went into settings and got it back however after a reset the toggle {scroll down bar} is only available on the start screen. If I unlock my phone, the bar disappears from view.

It has to be there somewhere or a setting I am missing because it shows up and works fine on mg lock screen just not when the phone is unlocked

most likely a stupid question...

Is using Titanium Backup the best option to backup all of my installed apps? I frequently upgrade and switch to different ROMs and am wondering what would be the easiest way to keep everything backed up. I hate reinstalling everything all over again and redownloading all my apps whenever I switch bases or ROMs that aren't similar enough.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Bubba:
Not a stupid question at all. Your wanting to save time and trouble.

Yes. Titanium backup is the answer. IMO the essential app. More importantly, the paid version. It allows you to simply select "Restore user apps" in a batch operation. I only restore data for user apps to a few certain apps. Others restore data to all user apps.

Just be very careful when restoring ... NEVER restore system apps or system data.

I also use it to freeze certain apps ..like maps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wieczorek24:
Sounds perfect! Will TiBackup save progress in games like Angry Birds? I haven't tried to complete most of my games lately because all of the progress gets erased everytime I have to reinstall them.

Another question that I haven't found a good answer to yet:

I use the dvorak layout on my personal computer and I used to use the Hacker Keyboard app which suited my purposes at the time. Then on one of the ROMs I tried at some period I was able to change the actual input method on the android keyboard to dvorak through some trickery. I would ideally like to use the default Samsung keyboard with the dvorak layout instead of querty. I had read somewhere you could tweak some system files pertaining to key layout mapping that would allow me to have dvorak as the default input method. Is this easily accomplished or even possible?
