Hello and welcome to the forum! I have moved your thread to the Q&A section. In the future please double check what you are posting and make sure it is in the correct sub-forum. Hopefully you will get better help in this section. Enjoy your time and happy flashing!

FYI-I gave you your first thanks on accident. :)

First of all there is no .487 update..it is .587

Ianf your si number is not a big problem..

Download official .587 in madfysh thread then flash it

Witj flashtool..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] fka:
Sorry my bad. Will be more careful in the future.

Yay, thanks for the thanks :D

Yes I mean .587 ofc. Thanks for the info, will flash it and try out the performance.

Should I flash the baseband too?

Hi, i'm newbie too, but I tried many ROMs, and I can say, that stock .62 FW with some modifications is really faster than all of custom ROMs, except CyanogenMod 7, but it doesn't have some features from stock (like keyboard, HDMI and music player), so 2.3.4 .62 is the best for performance and daily use) now i'm on .587 stock fw, it is fast too, but it have more bugs in games, than gingerbread. Happy flashing ;)

Just for the record, there is an official update for my neo v to .587, although it is not written in the sony si number forum post and i did not get a notification on my phone...i just connected my phone to pcc because i wanted to check, if there is the possibility to backup /data and it told me there is an update available (adb backup don't work on my linux or windows pc...but that's another topic if it still doesn't work with .587, i just want to backup game data and stuff before i re-unlock bootloader).

So maybe there are other users here that could get an update and don't know about it...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] fka:
i am on stock .587 right now, will test it for a few days then i will look at this 2 roms, thank you.

that's good to know, i will try out a few more isc roms and if im still not happy, i think i will have a look at CM7. The keyboard is definitely much better than the one brought with CM, but i think it shouldn't be too hard to copy the APK over (if not, there are some good swipe-keyboards in the store), same for the music player, but i liked the one shipped with CM 9 and 10 anyway.

For HDMI, i read somewhere, that it is now working for the neo in CM7 but i have to check that again.

i used Pureness for quite a while (version 11) and want to give it another try, as i was not on .587 and BB 77 as ThilinaC writes in the install instructions.

The performance was good after reboot, but it slowed down quite fast. I know he writes that i should restart my phone once a day, but i don't like this as a permanent solution. With Polish Blood i used the phone for a week, and it was almost as fast as it was after the boot. But well the one is ICS and the other JB, i know (although CM10 was not really fast compared to Polish Blood)...

If JellySandwich and Ultimate HD become laggy after some time of usage too, i will go back to GB or just restart my phone every day :)

Is there a ROM that just removes bloatware, add a few build.prop tweaks, is supercharged and uses the JB Adreno drivers?

I'll recommend it, this rom. very smooth fast and stable.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] fka:
I tried it for a couple of days, and i must say the multitasking build is really fast, even after a few days without reboot. The only problem is, that i can't play games like temple run because it lags as hell (even with the games build), only after fresh reboot it runs smooth for a while. But as playing games is not so important, i might stick to that rom, just want to try out a few others before.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] astra-g-16v:
ah ok because I do not really react with the mobile games so no idea how to play it.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] fka:
Ok found JJ's Hybrid ROM and it is just awesome! Pure AOSP feeling without the bugs that non sony-based roms have (ie bad touchscreen) but also not the problems that many sony-based roms have (slow phone, contacts, etc apps). It is not as fast as some other roms and the app drawer lags sometimes, but it is still fast enough (after a few hours of usage, just after the first boot it feels laggy for an hour or two) and the pure aosp ui is unbeatable smooth imo.

So, great rom, i can just recommend it!

If it is faster than JS 7.4, it must be a great rom for sure. But as described above, i just love AOSP so this ROM might not be suitable for me just like JS and Ultima HD which i tried for a while...

What is this? This is an utility to make CWM backups from the running device (without rebooting to CWM). All credits goes to ameer1234567890. It needs downloading and flashing a script file from first post of the original thread and running a command from terminal emulator. It has many options like Custom backup name etc.

For restoring one has to restore in a regular way from CWM Recovery. I have tested this on my 8800 pro andregularly using this.

It needs reading the original thread - at least first feww posts - carefully. Don't blame me if it bricks your phone. Thank ameer1234567890 in his thread not me. I am only a link provider for this awesome utility.

Ok so I have been trying to flash a rom to my phone for a while now. This isn't my first rodeo but I am far from being one of you technology gurus (whom I am very thankful for). SO I picked Blackbean 5. Now I downloaded it to my phone, and after magically....ok accidentally I got it on there I think. However, now all my phone is doing is getting stuck at the Baked Logo.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] broad_st_bully:
Can someone please tell me where MetaMorph stores it's files/images once it loads a theme/etc.?

I'm not talking about "/AndroidThemes",..I'm talking about where it stores everything once it unzips a theme or lock-ring or whatever...

I installed a battery zip a while back and now they battery image just shows up randomly every once in a while...I wanna remove it from the device comletely & don't know where to look...

thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
I think you misunderstand how Metamorph acts. It actually changes permanently your patched system files to theme your apps. Depending on which part you are theming it patches different files.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] broad_st_bully:
ahh...I obviously did misunderstand....I figured there was a folder somewhere with all the files/images in it.

..I notice when I flash a new lock-ring, in my image gallery there's the lock-ring image and a "drawable-xhdpi" & "drawable-hdpi" images...that's what gave me the idea there was directory somewhere storing files...

is there a way to make the battery image I flashed a while back stop showing?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
That's likely an extracted zip from Metamorph. I think I misunderstood your question.

In light of this new information, you can long press the image file, then press the context menu button then Properties (last menu) and at the bottom of the dialog window you should see the path to the file. You can navigate to this directory using a file browser and create a file named ".nomedia" without the quotes. This will make the media scanner not scan this folder and thus you won't see it in the gallery.

Example:

File is located in /sdcard/Metamorph/theme1/folder

Create a .nomedia file in /sdcard/Metamorph/

Everything in this folder and the folders in it will not get indexed.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] broad_st_bully:
I appreciate your help!

this explains alot, but the problem I'm having is (see screenshot below please) on the top-left-hand side in the notification bar you'll see the small blue battery icon..I flashed that through MetaMorph maybe 2-3 different ROMs back, I'd say at least 3 weeks ago, and, at the time, the battery icon didn't show for some reason....and hasn't since then...

now it just showed up out of nowhere:confused:

I flashed a new ROM a few days ago (battery icon did NOT show up then) and then last night it just showed up....outta nowhere...

I want to get rid of it but, unlike the "drawable" lock-screen images in my image gallery, this actual icon/image is nowhere to be found (or seen)...

is there a way to remove it?

I mean I thoroughly wipe the cache(s) & system a few times before each new ROM so it kinda has me confused why it just showed up all of a sudden...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3rdstring:
If you've flashed another ROM then that's not coming from anything you've done with Metamorph. The system files that would have been modified would be gone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] broad_st_bully:
that's exactly what I thought....I checked the OP for the current ROM I'm using and there's nothing about extra battery icons....the ONLY time this icon was ever on my phone was back when I flashed it a few weeks ago...and then it didn't show after the flash....

makin me crazy...:eek:

i have just reaslised that all the photos that the gallery imported from my facebook & picasa accounts are all jumbled up, they are still in the correct folders but the pictutres are not in the correct order :(

Can anyone else confirm this is happening to them?, at first i thought it was just the fb photos and was going to remove the account & sign in again to see if that fixed it, then noticed the picasa ones as well, so cant really see it being both accounts having problems, seems more like a phone software problem?

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gschot:
I encountered this problem first when I upgraded my SGS2 from GB to ICS. The gallery on the Note in JB still doesn't seem to be fixed.

It has to do with the GPS tag. When you have a mix of GPS- and non-GPS-tagged images in your gallery, the sorting goes bananas.

Hope it gets fixed some day... meanwhile you can indeed try another picture viewer instead.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peter7769:
Thanks all for the replies, glad it's not just my phone. I used quickpic before, will give it a try to see if it works but really like the stock gallery so hope they get a fix sorted.

But each level contains a lot of images and ideas, that why we can't pass all 100 levels to users in one day.

The game featured :

--25 levels

--stable updates with new levels every week

--Interesting tasks and puzzles which makes you think

--Realistic graphic for better vision of the situation

--It's absolutely FREE.

if you even stuck, you can find a lot of walkthrough via the internet.

Somewhere along those lines I believe.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] MattMJB0188:
Just wondering if AT&T has announced it yet?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] T.J. Bender:
Nope. I chatted with a rep earlier about it. No information posted online for them, and her scripts didn't say anything. She checked with a supervisor who confirmed that AT&T hadn't told them what the off-contract price would be.

I'm expecting $649-$699 for the 16GB version, but am prepared to go as high as $799 based on international prices for off-contract phones.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrbkkt1:
The rumor for tmo is $700, I figure att would be similar.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 05GT:
I'm gonna say it will be the same as the Note 1. $549 - $599.

Kinda hard to be "stoked" at the price but that's what I just paid for my T-mobile variant... Although it's not as bad as what a lot of people were paying for International N7100's but they just sold for $589.00 on Ebay so if I didn't have to pay tax I would have been a tad more "stoked"... ;) Only on XDA will you hear someone say they were stoked about that price! LOL I am just messin with ya though cause I am glad it wasn't the $699.00 that I thought it was going to be...:laugh:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] T.J. Bender:
Because that's what they're selling the Note 1 for right now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] heavyharmonies:
I tried to order one at no-commitment price, but even when you choose that option rather than 1-year or 2-year contract, it will not let you buy without choosing a plan. I cannot figure out how to buy just the phone from AT&T.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chronzy:
It gave me the "No commitment" option from the drop down menu. Just pre-ordered mine an hour ago. And to confirm again, yes $649. Ships overnight Nov. 6th.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] T.J. Bender:
If you've already got an account, log in and run it as an upgrade. Full retail is the only price you'll see, but it will stick to your current data and voice plans without prompting you to select a new one.

The rep I spoke to initially said to order the phone with a plan, then cancel that plan as soon as the phone arrives. Not sure I like that idea, as touching your plan at all could potentially take you off of unlimited data.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] chrisj22:
The Galaxy Not original was $849.99 So i would safely guess close to there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kingdombuilder:
I pre-ordered the Sammy G-note II from AT&T the first day available on the 25th and I paid $649 plus the tax of $39 and it is said that I will be getting it Nov. 6th to Nov. 9th.

Blessed With A Note
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] T.J. Bender:
Its $649.99.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] envision:
You can usually get a early upgrade from AT&T if you call or stop in the store it's usually the price of the phone plus 250.00 would make the phone 549.99 and all you have to do is extend your current contract to get it.

Does not matter if you have no contract but if you do you should be good does not hurt to ask
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] theraker007:
Anyone know a good insurance to get with the phone. I kind of want to preorder from ATT now so i can get the phone at launch. But best buy's $10/mo insurance seems to be an unbeatable deal and i may end up waiting for them. I had a nightmare damage experience with my previous phone so i dont wanna get the note 2 without insurance

Seems like atts $200 deductible makes their insurance garbage.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] T.J. Bender:
Not bad. The earlier termination is worth $100 to me, though, because I want to be able to jump to Sprint or T-Mobile if/when AT&T finally forces us off of unlimited plans. Not interested in have a long contract with them until the send some kind of clear direction as to what they're doing with unlimited data users.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] MattMJB0188:
I personally think they would have forced us off the unlimited plan by now, if they were going to.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dbgeek:
If/when AT&T decides to do so, they couldn't end your unlimited plan until your contract expires. I personally, would have saved the $100. Heck, you could even argue that signing the contract means you are guaranteed to have the unlimited plan for another 2 years.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] T.J. Bender:
There's another consideration here, that being that one of my hobbies frequently takes me to areas that have no cell service for one carrier, but decent service for another. I want LTE, without question, but I don't want the device tied to a contract. I've read several places that AT&T will unlock a non-commitment phone for you right out of the gate, leaving me free to hop between AT&T and a pre-paid plan with another network when in those desolate areas. Tying the phone to a contract would've stopped that from happening.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dara.parsavand:
What are advantages to no commitment

Assuming you plan on staying on AT&T for two more years * , what is the advantage of getting a smaller commitment (1 year or 0 years)? I didn't think there were any plan discounts if you own your own phone unlike T-mobile (which is incredibly annoying).

Dara

* I'll stay with AT&T, not that they don't annoy me like crazy, but I get no T-mobile or Sprint coverage around here and Verizon annoys me even more than AT&T, plus my wife's iPhone at least can do a conversation and data at the same time unlike Verizon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] T.J. Bender:
The biggest one is that AT&T will (usually) let you unlock the phone right away, instead of refusing because it's linked to a contract. There are no plan discounts for owning your own phone, but if your contract ends in 12-15 months, you can walk away then instead of being locked in for two full years. Gives you flexibility to jump to another network/better offer if one exists. You can also use the phone on another provider (Straight Talk, for example) as an alternative to your primary network.
