[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] vebulous:
home + volume up + power

Assuming you rooted correctly, flashed an insecure rom and installed a custom recovery (cwm or twrp)

As for the Jedi roms for our devices: A point to make

Jedi MASTER 14 is different from Jedi X 14

Differences?

Jedi Master is built from the T-mobile base roms and firmwares (latest one is UVBMD1) that are released from T-mobile (!important!).

Feature: wifi calling, 4gLTE logo (with LTE capabilities)

Jedi X is built from the GT-N7105 (international lte) base rom and firmwares (latest one being...well, I don't know). These roms are released directly from Samsung.

Feature: quicker update releases (since it skips tmous), H+ logo for "4g" speeds. It still has LTE capabilities, it just won't say LTE in notifications tray[citation needed].

Both have multi-window now and both are TouchWiz based (samsung ui). And both are freaking awesome.

Summary:

Jedi Master steps to get to your phone: Google -> Samsung -> T-Mobile US -> ptmr3 -> phone

Jedi X steps to get to your phone: Google -> Samsung -> ptmr3 -> phone

Just to add to what was said above...

1st you need to do a lot of reading. Do yourself and us a favor... :D Don't want you coming back saying that you somehow messed up your phone. Flashing without a clue what you are doing can lead to problems.

You can get TWRP recovery by downloading goomanager from playstore. ( be sure to read the thread in original development ) After you install it, be sure to make a backup of your current ROM so you have something to fall back on in case something happens!!!!

This is in response to someone who said to just use groove ip instead of wifi calling.... I use groove IP for calling Canada and it only uses your Google number, unfortunately you cannot text or call some one with your native T-Mobile number like you could with WiFi calling. WiFi calling is priceless . I travel outside the country a lot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] tongueman87:
Download Google voice along with groove ip I use it all the time when I'm on a non t mobile rom
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] FarReach:
Thanks guys I appreciate it. I was actually holding volume down, home and power instead of volume up... No wonder why it wasn't booting into recovery :rolleyes::rolleyes: what's weird though is I downloaded the rom from this thread and I noticed when I flashed it was Jedi X?? It's all good either way cuz I don't need wifi calling but it kinda tripped me out. I did get pretty sauced last night so I'm sure it was something on my end but I'm not complaining. I'm stoked the force is with me on my new device :thumbup::thumbup:

Greetings

I flashed this a few times and the live wallpaper picker is not installed with the ROM. I manually installed it and it does install but is still not available for use. I used root explorer to install it and I installed other system apps this way and they work fine. I also tried flashing a zip which did not produce any error but still wasn't installed on reboot. Any ideas.... also, I noticed that the app is actually listed as an install application and I tried stopping and starting ect.... but nothing changed.

Thanks.

What is the name of the Live Wall Paper APK, I am about to root my wifes new Note II and I want the live wallpapaers, in fact, is there a list of removed apps?

---------- Post added at 11:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 PM ----------

Holy Balls the download is outrageously slow, anyone have a fast mirror?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] vebulous:
i think its SecLiveWalpapersPicker.apk.

For a list of removed apps (possibly incomplete) you should check the goodie bag. see OP. I think the Aroma installer has most of them. so you you need them ,just use that. Dirty-flash the apps you want atop your current install.

For faster download, check the torrent link posted a few pages back (or do a thread search :D )

Or, I'll just be nice and give you the link to the post.

I was wondering about traveling with wifi calling. I've used Nettalk in the Dominican Republic, but it was kinda choppy sounding, big delays, and my phone number shows up differently when calling someone.

Incorrect....... not looking in the first place is just laziness. I used my phone and found it in about 20 seconds.

I then clicked search this thread and typed in "torrent". The torrent I made popped right up using a 1 word in the search field......

I'm not being a smart ass but try first , especially before posting a comment like yours.

So I was on MIUI V.5 for a bit but nothing compares to Jedi. I didn't realize it would be so awesome to install. I felt so involved and realized I need to send another donation.

The awesomeness of flashing a ROM early in the morning is delightful. ^_^

Thanks for giving the option to install certain stock apps. I'm super grateful.

Hey all..im the one that has been pestering everyone here to find out if bluetooth tethering will work because i was accepted in march to buy google glass (like the marketing trick they pulled there..if they withhold the supply demand increases ;) ) so im finally picking up google glass on july 6th. In the welcome email they said to call my provider and ensure that i have bluetooth tethering enabled as google glass uses that to communicate to the internet. Now Jedi master has addressed wifi tethering since version 9 and im running version 13 so I figured I should be ok but I wanted input from all of you.

Seems vebulous saw a challenge and enabled bluetooth tethering through an apk he compiled which he later made into a flashable zip with discussion with inspron and dwitherell and others who I apologize if i forgot to mention.

Thats why I posted the question here..because amazing guys like you here in xda will always figure something out...and im already paying for unlimited data with tmobile..whu should i pay another 10 bucks a month to be able to use that data any way i want???

So thank you all here in xda...ive been a member for years and always see this happening by great members....

ill let you know how it goes with google glass ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] inspron:
Bluetooth tethering is pretty amazing because of the low power nature of it. One quirk is it is automatically deselected after each boot. This simple app turns bluetooth tethering back on after reboot: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.refluxa.android.bat&feature=search_result

There is also a companion app for the other end of the tether. I hope this helps. Have fun with your Google Glasses.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] harpocrates:
I'm still running Jedi Master 13.. do you think this framework will work without a problem?

Most likely I'll update before I install.. Just asking... Also when you enable Bluetooth tethering on your phone, do you run another app on the PC or tablet like PDA net for BT tethering to work?

All things I'll probably figure it when I install the zip.. But just along :)

Can't change pie settings

Before I had installed jedi master 14, I had jedi x13. I had the options to change my pie settings. But I don't see the options for jedi master 14. Any one know anything on this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] inspron:
No additional app needed. I bluetooth tether my Note 2 with my iPad 4 normally.

The bluetooth helper app kinda just flip the on switch to make the actual bluetooth connection seamless. It doesn't have any other functionality.

Now, if only we can get the op to include this bluetooth mod in future releases so we dont have to jump through hoops to make this work.

Depends on what plan you're on? If you're on the prepaid $30 100 minute/5GB plan, it will count against your minutes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dimex:
So, I posted before on how my Note 2 would freeze overnight when charging and as a result, I would sleep through my alarm. Nothing would fix it, and I'd have to pull the battery to get the phone to turn on again.

I completely wiped the phone, not just a reset, but a complete format of the internal memory. I reinstalled Jedi and it was fine for a few days, but I woke up this morning 2 hours after my alarm was supposed to go off to a frozen phone. I had to pull the battery, and once again, the issue returns.

I don't know what the hell is going on. I installed nothing new yesterday, and have no tweaks to the CPU. Does anyone else have this issue or am I the only one!?!?

I have multiple batteries, I switched out this one for another. Could a faulty battery cause this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ptmr3:
It sounds as if something is wrong with your hardware bro. No reason for anything like that. I use my phone exclusively as an alarm and I own my own business. If I dobt wake up, it is a huuuuggeee deal. I have to have stability. If your device is failing you might want to odin to stock, use triangle away and get a replacement under manufacturer warranty

WiFi Tethering on the $30 plan

Guys,

I got the $30/5Gb plan and am now in a situation where I'd like to use tethering for 1 to 2 hours per day. I tried the built-in tethering in this ROM and for about an hour it worked perfectly. After about 60-90 minutes though, T-Mobile would intercept my intended URL and then do a redirect to T-Mobile to up-sell me the mobile tethering option; after that it quit working.

What I need is your recommendation for a third-party tethering app; my requirements are that it support WPA2 encryption and that it offer the option to hide/not broadcast the SSID. I spent some time on the Play Store trying various options and rather than waste time installing and uninstalling any more apps I just gave up and decided to come here to ask.

Your replies are greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion but Treve doesn't support WPA2 encryption nor does the version I found (3.2-beta2-modv5) support hiding/not-broadcasting the SSID.

Any other suggestions?

I'm not sure if using the framework-res.apk I posted will work for you. Although im not too familiar with the extent of change between the two, but im pretty sure changes exist and may break your install.

I suggest either upgrading to jm14 or doing the decompile yourself (not really hard to do. honest).

If the old link to the flashable zip is borked, here's a new one (for some reason, dropbox doesn't play nice?)

I used wifi-calling in Macedonia (south-eastern european country, barely on the map). My experience? Flawless.

Calls and texts.

To the US.

For free. Vebulous Approved.

One thing I did not test was mms (or picture texts)...or maybe I did. I don't remember.

Anyway, MMS is unconfirmed to be working using T-Mobile's Wi-Fi calling feature...by me at least.

ptmr3 removed the Jedi ROM Tricks menus from the settings menu and made a stand-alone app. It should reside in your Apps...thingy (what is that thing called, a drawer?) Anyway, look for a "Jedi ROM Tricks" application; and the rest will look familiar.

You click on System Settings, Display, Wallpaper, Home Screen, click on Live Wallpapers, pick it, drop it, rock n roll. I'm assuming you mean a live wallpaper. This is also assuming you have fixed your Live Wallpaper files. :)

browser desktop ua not working

I just upgraded from x12 to x14. Everything works great but one major thing. I downloaded boat browser ( my main browser) and when I change the ua to desktop. I get the t-mobile mobile hotspot tethering upsell page. Once I change back to andriod ua it works fine. Anyone know what might be going on? I use the desktop ua mode every day.

I never had an issue with x12. I get the tmobile page on every browser I install when I change ua to desktop.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pyraxiate:
Jedi x series is the other thread ( international base ). This is the Jedi master thread ( T-Mobile base). You might want to ask your question there. I can tell you that I'm not having UA issues with any of my browsers on JM14. One thing you might try is changing your APN to epc.tmobile.com if its currently on the fast.T-Mobile. com apn. I remember reading that there are no tethering services enabled on the new apn's which could be why.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Gorguts:
Thank you. Was this built into the ROM or did you install it? I tried overwriting the apk in the sys folder via root explorer. I pasted, rebooted, wiped cache / dal and rebooted. I saw the apps update but no good. Next I flashed a zip that I found and then wiped c / d and rebooted... still no good. I will try the files you sent later as I am on another ROM for now. I am working on a portal 1 & 2 theme and needed to mess with muiltilive wallpaper for a special effect. Ill let you know later if it works.

Thank you

Anyone interested in modding the framework file to remove the tethering restriction?

Hi! Thank you for the suggestion! The XDA thread you referenced seems to make this out to be a walk in the park. I did download the two different apk tools and installed them both and read the documentation; however, this is all new territory for me. Yes, I could spend the rest of tonight reading, trying, trying again, re-reading and trying a third time, but to be honest since this presents itself as so simple for the average dev that is already familiar with these tools, I'm thinking that one of you pros could mod the framework file in a few minutes and just post it here for all as a flash-able zip. I know that the T-Mobile $30 plan is wickedly popular so you'd be helping a lot of folks besides myself that want to use tethering with this plan, it is, after all, unlimited data on this plan!

If anyone wants to volunteer for the effort I'd be very, very grateful and no, I'm not lazy I just flashed the BT Tether posted earlier for Jedi v14 and it put my phone in a boot-loop so I wiped everything and now am reloading 14 and all my apps from scratch, so I've got an hour or two of setup and customization to do just to get back to where I was before flashing that (I know, I should have nandroid and backed it up first, but you know, I find that reloading from scratch after using a ROM for a few weeks generally results in better initial [clean] performance).

Anyway, as always I truly appreciate your insight and ideas and love sharing with this community. If you can help me out, great! If not, no hard feelings, I'll just hack at it myself some other time (and probably screw it up royally!).

Thanks!

Master 14 has wifi calling (T-Mobile based) X-14 does not (international based).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] vebulous:
Hello. Just wanted to get some more info from you, and I know this may seem childish, but are you using the Jedi Master 14 rom? Because I had wi-fi tethering out of the install. Like as soon as I flashed, wi-fi tethering was working with WPA and WPA2 encryption. NO changes required.

As for the BT tethering, I was the shmuck that decided to give that a hack, and for some reason it has worked for me and another fellow (inspron); yet a couple of other people report going into bootloops. So, my question here is: are you running a theme or any other bit that could have modified your framework-res.apk?

If flashing does not work, try the manual method:

MAKE A nandroid/Ti/whatever BACKUP (I cannot stress this enough. It only takes 9 minutes)

copy framework-res-new.apk to your /system/framework folder.

make a copy of framework-res.apk (the old one) and name it framework-res-old.apk

rename framework-res-new.apk to framework-res.apk (effectively overwriting the old one)

Try doing this, and report back.

Also, if you can think of any other variable that could be making your phone act weird, please share.

I just saw this post of yours, and now my suggestions look stupid. If tethering worked, and now doesn't tmous is definitely packet-sniffing you. What did you tether?

Although, I use wifi tethering regularly, its usually another mobile device and useragent; so to tmous, it looks like MY phone is making queries. But if you use a desktop useragent, they see that as a violation and politely nudge you to their sales portal.

Depending on what you're tethering, you may want to try tricking the servers by switching useragents. Of course if you are tethering another mobile device, then the point is moot and you'd just end up at square 1.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] crodgers79:
Those of us on the $30 plan are experiencing the tether problem

OK, no question too stupid here IMHO! Yes I'm running Jedi 14 (Jellybean 4.1.2) and here's the rub: if you're on a T-Mobile monthly or contract plan of $50 or more it seems that tethering works, like it did for you, "out of the box.." People like me that got in on the Walmart/T-Mobile $30/month plan do not get tethering included. Apparently in the framework file there are about three lines of code that need to be modified to remove the restriction on tethering for those of us on the $30 plan, the other thread is very clear in what code needs to be changed in the framework file and it appears quite simple until you figure out that you have to know how to de-compile and compile the apk and how to use the apk management tools (neither of which I know how to do). I didn't see the new framework file you requested that I try but I can certainly do that.. again, my request was simply to ask one of th pros to provide us with the modified framework file so we could put this tethering problem to bed. And yes, when I installed Jedi 14 I picked the Jedi Blue theme to go with it, so I am running a theme.

Thanks for your quick response though!!

I'm tethering my Win7 Dell laptop, first I did it via WiFi tether and then USB and I liked USB better so that's what I'd like to do. The Dell/Win7 sees the phone as a USB WiFi adapter (I think), although I didn't catch the driver that auto-installed when I attached the phone via USB. Not clear on what you mean by "switching useragents.." is there a setting or settings on the laptop that I should possibly be changing?

My work allows us to use the Wi-fi connection in the laptop to browse the Internet but I have no Wi-Fi in the building I'm in, just a CAT6 GigE connection and on the GigE connection Internet browsing is strictly verboten, so I'm disconnecting the GigE connection and trying to use the phone to get to the Internet.. I hope that helps explain the situation..

Thanks again for your help!!
