[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] encompass:
WOW!

I guess the interest in doing this is just dead and gone. I am not a developer but I came from the "fruit" and bought the galaxy note II on Sprint and I would like to get some native (at least as close to native as I can get) controls on touchwiz. I know I'm in the T-mobile section but had to post a comment since this thread is about exactly what I want to get. I would be very interested in working on something or at least learning how to work my way around my phone and tweak it since I did so on the fruit phone.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to learning how to tweak my touchwiz lock screen?

I would like to at least try to get something to show up on the lock screen and start from there. Once I get something to show up like a button or a widget then I can maybe link it to the music player or any other player possibly.

I used player pro for a while but it uses it's own lock screen as does power amp and n7player, but to have native controls like the fruit does would be awesome. I would appreciate some help or links to resources while I look around because to me native is better and controls right on the lockscreen are better than notification controls, that's a whole extra step when you're in a car and your phone is docked or propped up on a holder, man it's a no brainer to have at least 3 buttons play/pause and back/forward.

The only down side is the faux-pogo pins only give USB charging rates and don't start dock mode (but that's going to be true for any homemade dock that doesn't have a circuit to supply the middle-pin handshake).

So, my USB port burnt out on my GSM Galaxy Nexus, literally. My phone was rooted and had bootloader unlocked, so I was thinking of restoring everything to stock and send it back to Google. Here I am, being a dumbass, decides to flash back to stock ice cream sandwich with mobile odin and update to 4.1.2 thinking it would unroot and relock the device for me. I was real wrong, didn't realize that it only unrooted my device and relocking the bootloader require root access. So, any idea on how I can lock my bootloader again?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
Since you don't have root I'm pretty sure you need a usb port that works to relock the bootloader
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
Yep.

Though I doubt they'd even care.

Should have locked first...and THEN Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MNX1024:
I had my phone rooted and boot loader unlock since launch of the device, back in November. Haven't done anything to it since now, which made me forgot certain things. Was reading information through several guide/post on how to return the Galaxy Nexus back to stock without using the USB port. Most of them were gear towards the Verizon version and none of them mention that locking the bootloader was required during root. Just did not realize that locking the bootloader requires root access. Guess that's what caused me not pay attention to the issue.... I know, it's my fault.

It would be nice if someone can point me to a solution. So, let me rephrase my question a bit. Is there anything I can do to get root access or lock the bootloader again without using the USB port? I have a Windows machine, Mac, and a extra Galaxy Nexus lying around. I can transfer files wirelessly, but no physical connection.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
There are no root exploits for 4.1.2, afaik.

I think you're pretty much without options at this point, although like stated before, i doubt service will care if bootloader is unlocked.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MNX1024:
Oh well, guess there's no hope of me locking it up without the usage of the USB port. Any words on anyone successfully getting their repair/replacement done even though they've sent phones in with an unlock bootloader?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Poser:
Fantastic news
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LucJoe:
Agreed. I was considering a USB DAC, but with voodoo sound it's probably not necessary.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] stevessvt:
Explain it to me like Im an idiot (not too far of a stretch), what does this mean for us?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Poser:
Very simply, the Wolfson DAC is how audio is processed on our phones. It is an extremely impressive implementation that is somewhat handicapped by Samsungs proprietary coding. Voodoo sound is an alternative module (kernel level driver) that unleashes its full potential and dynamic range. Supercurio is the developer responsible for bringing voodoo sound.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lyinelriche:
Any news on Voodoo Sound for our Note2's, yet? I haven't seen much mentioned about it, and I'm going crazy with this sensitive mic on the phone. Does anyone know of an alternative method for the ability to change recording preset?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] farfromovin:
I havent heard anything on supercurios twitter account. I know he recently bought a Galaxy S 4.2 wifi music player for cheap just because it has Wolfson and he plans on making voodoo for it. It seems like he's very busy testing display and sound properties of every new device that gets released. Good things take time I suppose.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Prankey:
We can use scoobydoo sound on perseus kernel. I confirm it works just like voodoo sound for headphones/line out

Use stweak to modify the parameters
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lyinelriche:
That's cool, but I'm mostly concerned with line-in/ mic settings.
[HTC Sensation] Nakira89:
Hi as its my first post i cannot post in the specific development thread to this particular ROM.

I haven't updated my ROM in sometime. Currently my phone says i have:

Android Version - 4.0.3

HTC Sense version - 3.6

Software Number - Android Revolution HD 6.6.2 by mike1986

The newest rom version is 6.8.* and i was wondering the process to update from that version to this newer one. Or how to move to a different custom rom.

If you need more information then please ask. Im new here and just learning the ropes. Thanks in advance.

Josh.
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
Hi if your s off here is how you do it. Place rom on SD card by first downloading from computer than connecting with USB cable to phone to computer than share the rom, usually to disk drive e. This places it on SD card root. Then go into recovery and wipe cash then wipe dalvik then wipe data factory reset. Then choose install zip from SD card, then choose zip from SD card. Then scroll down and find your rom. Install the rom than reboot your phone. That's it. But before you flash anything do a nandroid backup of your current rom incase you get into a pinch you can restore your old rom easily. Now if your s on it's different. You will have to flash boot image I'm so off and not exactly familiar with every step for that but there is a great guide flashing roms with s on you can read if need be. But if your so off those are all the steps you need. Hope I've helped and happy flashing.
[HTC Sensation] HaYaHa:
If he is going to update the ROM, you don't need to wipe anything often. You need to look to the forum and their they will say in the 1st or 2nd post how to install the ROM and if you are going to update the ROM it will often say you don't need to wipe anything. But if you want to be sure just read that post.
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
It's always a good idea to wipe as to prevent any Wi-Fi or other issues. I updated my rom and didn't do a full wipe and I had Wi-Fi issues, I went back reinstalled with full wipe now Wi-Fi works perfectly. In my opinion it's good to wipe.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
It's really not ncessessary for small incrimental updates, which most nightly builds are.

However, this guy is going from ARHD 6.6 to 6.8. The ARHD page says you don't need to do a full wipe if coming from 6.7...which kind of implies that you do need a full wipe if coming from an earlier build.

So a full wipe would probably be recomended.

As for normal updating opperations...

Sure, things CAN get screwy when flashing over a previous build, but they usually do not. And if you are going to be updating regularly then it's really a gigantic waste of time to do a full wipe every 2-3 days since you'll spend an hour or 2 resetting everything up. Over a month that might be 18-24 hours just redoing settings, in hopes of avoiding a random error that might happen once every 2 months of flashing. It's kind of like driving 20 miles to save a penny on a gallon of gas. You spend more to get there than you save.

Always recomended to do a full nandroid backup first through. So if it doesn't work you can revert back to what you had quickly and save the full wipe and fresh install for a time when you've got more time to redo everything.
[HTC Sensation] Raven2k:
6.6 and 6.8 use different firmware bases...

Not wiping when he updets now only means he'll get trusted, and wipe later :)
[HTC Sensation] Nakira89:
really grateful for all of the responses. I think to be safe and just for the sake of a few hours ill do a full back up and wipe before installing. :)

If you power down the phone, hold down BOTH volume rockers, then hold down the power button down, it should boot into fastboot. Then use the down volume to select normal power up and see what it does.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JustusIV:
So this is really my only go to phone at the moment. However as you can see from my tag I am coming from a nexus. Assuming it doesn't get unlocked like the S3 how mad should I be over the locked bootloader? No custom kernel, so no over clocking, no battery tweaks, etc. But let's be honest on my nexus while I always rock a custom kernel I am not in there tweaking it all the time. How do others feel? To me it just more or less feels like a slap in the face from Verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mypantsaretorn:
I have used the t-mobile note 2 for a few days and you don't need to do any of that stuff to this phone. The speed is freaking amazing and the battery lasts all freaking day. The only thing i did was root it so that I could is TiBU and I was set. (I ended up returning the phone due to stinky t-mobile signal so I'll be waiting for the vzw version to come out)

other carriers will get it and they'll get something ours won't launch with. When has Verizon ever been ahead of the curve on new tech?

Verizon is the guy that shows up late to the party and then starts writing the word "VERIZON" on everybody's forehead in sharpie.

But Verizon is the cool guy that everybody wants to hang out with!

He has super rich parents and his parties are always the best! Haha

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] snapz54:
Verizon let you pay him $299 to have his sister in bed. Only thing is, he wrote "VERIZON" on her forehead and her lower back in sharpie so you don't forget who's in charge while you're having sex with her.

Im betting the devs will use kexec to side load custom kernels and recoveries like the S3 initially was before the insecure bootloader was leaked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JustusIV:
This thread was epic lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cdmoore74:
Not really for this device. To get the full potential you need the majority of Samsungs framework riding behind the scenes. A phone like this would not be right with just AOSP/stock Android. Maybe keep the possibility of having a Samsung ROM that's cleaned up a bit but not a total makeover.

Now a phone like the Droid HD or the upcoming HTC DNA then yes; I would be pissed.

I recently sold my iPad as I havent used it since becoming an S3 and then a Note 2 owner. My initial plan was to get the new 32gb N7 as I liked the size of it and the specs seemed great too. Plus the fact its still a portable size and not to clumsy to handle.

Anyway, since seeing the N10 specs im in two minds as what to do. Are any N7 owners thinking of selling up and moving to N10 or is the N7 still capable of holding its own.

So I had a nook color as my first tablet which was 7 inches and loved it, then got an HP touchpad and put ice cream sandwich on, and I can say I rarely used my touchpad, I would a little bit here and there but it was big and bulky to carry around, however since I have gotten the nexus 7 which is almost 2 months ago now, I haven't put the thing down.

Its small enough to put in a bag, and comfy enough to type on using both hands without having to prop it up or manipulate it differently.

While its still has enough screen real estate to scale stuff right, also the UI that Google put on this kinda big phoneish in a way is awesome, this is a device meant for portrait use where as the nexus 10 feels landscape bound in nature
