[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brrrlag:
Can we get a nice clear post in from a dev about a) whether or it's a definite possiblity we can get the GN2 dualbooting? and b) what needs doing? (Many thanks to fishingfon for what we have so far). The thought of flipping from PA over to a TW rom for Spen functionality on the fly is awesome:D

Its also my understanding that the spen stuff is an issue because of the source availability? up samsungs basically.....:p
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fishingfon:
Hi,

I talked with Gokhan Moral (he is a elite recognised dev) about the possibility of getting dual boot on the note 2.

And he said that as the hardware is very simple to the s3, it shouldn't be too hard to get the dual boot from his siyar kernel working on the note 2.

And seeing that dual boot is available on the s3 and note 1, it is almost definitely possible to get it working on the note 2 :)

If anyone knows of a compiler that works with the note 2 kernel, i would be very grateful if they could share it.

Cheers

Corey

Edit:

It's my understanding, that you can get everything you need to make the kernel, from the source code that samsung has provided, and by extracting some things like the initramfs from the ZImage. So you should still get full spen functionality, although I may be wrong :P

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fishingfon:
If someone could help me find out two things, I wouldn then be able to start trying to compile the dual boot kernel I am trying to make.

I have googled lots ect and asked on xda, but no one seems to know.

If someone could help try and find out:

Firstly, what The N7100 partition layout is,

And secondly, if someone could find out how to then edit the Ramfs from a different device with the new partition layout from the note 2.

Cheers

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prankey:
I wish Dual boot and Voodoo sound gets ported to Note2 ASAP. I seems to have posted elsewhere but I did discuss the possibilities with Gokhanmoral and he may be willing to help us in the port as he personally do not wish to develop a kernel for a device he do not own.

Siyah's port of Voodoo sound is already available for us through the latest RedPill and Perseus kernels, however dual boot option is yet to be ported. I wish to contribute towards the development if I could help in anyway.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fishingfon:
Hi,

I am already in the process of porting the dual boot.

I have changed the partition layout in the ramfs, and I am at the moment just going thru all the files double checking I didn't miss anything..

If the dual boot does work when I have finished (fingers crossed lol) then I could really use someone who knows how to add cm sources to the kernel, so that dual boot is possible with cm and stock roms (I an not a C programmer, i am normaly only a c# and java, so i am not to sure how to do that :P ) .

I have also been in contact with Gokhanmoral, and he's been giving me lots of help with what to do ect.

Cheers

I didn't get my shipping confirmation via email yet, but I did check the sprint site and I DO have a tracking #!

Looks to be UPS... my phone is sitting in Louisville, KY.... only 2 hours from my house :( HURRY UP OPTIMUS G!!!!!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] pjsnyc:
Really jealous. I just checked and still no tracking #. I pre-ordered it Friday (I believe Thursday of last week was when they started taking pre-orders). When did you order yours?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] tduck:
I ordered Thursday afternoon about 2PM Eastern time.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] latindor17:
YAY!! Mine shipped too and I pre-ordered it Monday morning.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] pjsnyc:
Spoke too soon! Just checked order status again and I have a tracking number!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] kmull4:
Yes! I just got the email.. the shipping method states: Overnight: Next day PM.. So does that mean it'll be shipped to my address tomorrow??
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Mike_77:
I should have ordered through Sprint, not Wirefly. Now I have to wait the weekend out without a new toy. :(
[Sprint LG Optimus G] coojoe1000:
Just received my tracking # as well! Woot! Ordered 25 seconds after they listed the pre-order on the site lol. Already received my Spigen Ultra Crystal Screen Protector so it's ready to install right out of the box. P.S. the Spigen screen protectors are $13 with free shipping from Amazon. Best screen protectors out there and you get two in the package :) Here's the link
[Sprint LG Optimus G] twoslo:
Same here :-\

That's what I get for being frugal, the wirefly deal was too hard to resist haha
[Sprint LG Optimus G] ncfastls1:
Oh god oh god so excited!!! I have been checking the Sprint my order page multiple times daily since I ordered it last Thursday and now I have a tracking number! It's being delivered by UPS and should be here tomorrow. I can't freaking wait. Good timing too, cause I'm not sure how much longer I could go without smashing my 3D on the ground lol. I had to remove the battery five times today cause it kept locking up on me.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] SRobby:
X3, seems dumb to save that 50 bucks now, so so jealous...
[Sprint LG Optimus G] sarspants:
Got mine from Wirefly too...but there is a silver lining (other than the obvious $50), I've got a test on Wednesday that I haven't even started to study for so it's one less distraction for the weekend!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] tduck:
Having smashed my 4G on the ground (by accident, twice) and living with the consequences for a couple of months, I would recommend against this course of action...

;)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] xboxfanj:
Should be 80 dollaz cheaper if you order from wireflyfriends.com

$119 preorder from their friends and family site.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Scotty_Two:
What is this wireflyfriends.com? Is it credible? I'll order mine right now for that price.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] twoslo:
i'd like to know as well

cause ill cancel my wirefly order and go for this deal instead
[Sprint LG Optimus G] xboxfanj:
Same thing as wirefly but its cheaper because its their friends and family program. Same company, so its just as credible as Wirefly.com, which is credible depending on whom you ask. Some have good experiences and some have bad experiences.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Scotty_Two:
Just preorderd; $120 is far too good of a deal to pass up. Thanks for the heads up!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] sn0w:
So is everyone's phone scheduled to arrive today? I still pay my parents to share their family plan so I have no access to the my orders page =/
[Sprint LG Optimus G] pjsnyc:
Mine arrived today :) I ordered direct from sprint tho...
[Sprint LG Optimus G] sn0w:
Sweet, I ordered mine Nov 1 from Sprint so I hope it's already sitting on the porch. No one is home there to verify and an 18mile round trip isn't worth making more than once on my day off today haha
[Sprint LG Optimus G] tduck:
Mine just arrived.... carefully unboxing now :)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] twoslo:
I'm jealous! Give us some feedback later :laugh:
[Sprint LG Optimus G] pjsnyc:
First impressions - this thing is fast. All the reviews weren't kidding. I couldn't get the thing to stutter. Did I mention fast? I haven't really gotten a chance to do much with it since I'm still at work. Only thing I noticed was that sometimes swipes didn't register and it registered a click instead. I heard about this in some reviews, but its nothing too horrible. I did notice an update is already trying to be pushed to it though...any idea what the update might bring (updated touch screen driver?)?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] sn0w:
http://www.geeky-gadgets.com/sprint-lg-optimus-g-to-get-software-update-at-launch-onnovember-11th-08-11-2012/

This is what I found at a glance.

Still waiting on UPS here.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] ncfastls1:
Any idea if that update secretly blocks a security hole that could be used to unlock the bootloader? That's the only reason I'm wary of software updates.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] sn0w:
Got it, smooth, oh so smooth. Runs a bit warm, but I can deal. I barely miss my physical keyboard.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] ncfastls1:
I love it. This is a new level of smooth :) It does run a bit warm but then again I have been using it non stop since I activated it. Which btw was a pain in the ass because I had Google voice synced to my sprint number which apparently caused problems. Make sure you un sync it if you have used it previously.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] latindor17:
I don't get the warm complaints. Sure My phone gets a LITTLE bit warm when I was using it, but nothing at all to worry about. It didn't get to a point where I would get seriously worry about overheating or anything like that.

Other than that, the Optimus G is AMAZING. Such a huge upgrade from my Epic 4G. So happy with my phone :D
[Sprint LG Optimus G] ncfastls1:
I definitely need a case for this thing. It has great build quality but I feel like it will slip out of my hands way too easily.

Hi ppl i have strange issue whenever i power off phone and power on or just reboot the phone, it opens in recovery and i have to press "reboot system now". I have " CWM based recovery v5.5.0.4" this is happening to me after i rooted it and installed custom recovery no matter what rom i use.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Red_81:
Try flashing a stock rooted package from the stickies. Then flash a kernel to get your CWM back. I have a feeling your issue will be solved then.

Max Payne

Contract Killer

Worms

Theme Park

I too want to find more, my sgs3 is becoming a bit of a portable gaming device... However I prefer not too pay too much (>£3). I got all those on offer or they are free...

There is a VERY VERY important thing to note about all of these games. THEY ARE HUGE! several gb's each.... The sgs3 uses an internal memory SDCARD, This is only small compared to the downloads put into SD/Android/data... or /obb... I filled it very quickly. Now there are a few solutions, and they require root. The best solution by far is Directory Bind. It does FC from time to time but its good, and works.

Broken Sword's quite good. Ski Safari as well, but that's more about addictive gameplay than story
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewAussiefromCanada:
You should give External2Internal Mod a go, works flawlessly on my S3, not a single FC. Everything in the Android folder moved to External Sd now and it works perfect. Phone even reads 60gb internal! ;)

No mess with trying to move folder by folder with dirbind!

[Nook Color General] koopakid08:
No

Sent from my HTC Evo V 4G
[Nook Color General] solidsnake0928:
A little bit longer answer than the previous poster, no, you have to be running a custom ROM inorder to side load any apps. A B&N rep told me that the kernal is locked to only allow apps from the B&N store. And the "allow from outside source" function was locked in the bootloader.
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
If the nook color is running rooted stock you can side load apps. But without root, you cannot.

I have recently installed cyanogenmod 10 on my HTC one x phone and experienced scrolling(main menu, web browsing, notification drawer bar, etc) problem when charging the phone.

Is any one there having same problem?

I have also searched before and couldn't find a way to fix the issue.
[HTC One X] matt95:
could you explain the issue more in depth? are you using the stock htc charger?
[HTC One X] ZanderKTM:
I have the exact same problem with my one x running cm10. But I also had it when using stock rom... But on the stock rom i could disable the cpu frequency setting in the Hidden Settings app, but I apparently can't use it in cm10 :crying:

it's annoying, not working well, I mean it's very slow and not smooth at all, but when I unplug the charger every thing goes well and smooth

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JMackey:
I've somehow managed to sync 3 playlists to my WP8 that I cannot delete. The Delete button in the playlist list in the music app does nothing for them, and if I delete them manually using the file explorer, they just come back after I reboot.

A factory reset gets rid of them until I sign in with my Microsoft account which suggests that something is syncing them every time.

Microsoft is aware of the issue and I should be hearing back from them "within 72 hours" but I'd still like to get this solved ASAP.

PS: The playlists themselves are single files that have no file extension and no content. I believe they came originally from Zune (which then synced using the Windows Phone 8 desktop application).
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcosmin222:
Delete playlists for your computer (use zune to find em) then factory reset the phone.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JMackey:
The playlists reappear even when the phone is completely separate from the computer. Also, they've been deleted on my computer for awhile.

This is not user error, this is an actual bug, I'm just out of ideas on possible workarounds so that they might stay deleted.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcosmin222:

Turn XBOX Music cloud collection OFF

Had the same problem...from the root of the Music App, go into settings and turn off XBOX Cloud collection. Seems to do the trick, now only local playlists with songs show up...although this is a drag if you actually subscribe to the XBOX / Zune service...

What is known safe to freeze

as listed in titanium backup, I've been able to freeze the following bloat without any issue:

Allshare cast

Allshare play

Allshare service

AT&T * (everything starting with "AT&T" can be frozen)

ChatON

DeviceHelp

Flipboard

Kies* (everything starting with "Kies" can be frozen)

media hub

music hub

news daemon

s suggest

s voice

samsung backup provider

samsung browser syncadapter

samsung calendar syncadapter

samsung cloud data relay

SNS

stock daemon

swype (keyboard still works fine without swype support)

sysscope

tethering provision

vpn client

weather daemon

weather widget

weather widget main

yahoo finance

yahoo news

YP Mobile

There are many other things that can be frozen - this (so far) is just a list of what I'm currently freezing

AT&T users: The "mobile hotspot" icon that shows up in your app drawer doesn't have it's own app that you can freeze. It appears to be something in the settings.apk (and you probably don't want to freeze that.)

FM Radio

There isn't one. Based on my research, the hardware either doesn't exist or isn't physically connected. No luck with spiritFM either. This matches what international users have found with the n7105 (international LTE note2)

added note about FM radio, updated post title to reflect that I'm just dumping random "faq" type information in it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] AlonB.:
Great info! However personally, I'd wait with freezing apps since android operating systems have a wakelock specifically designated for deleted/frozen apps. Why or what for? No clue, but it's there. I'll wait until I can actually remove them completely. Either way this phone's battery and performance is awesome out of the box, even with bloatware :thumbup::D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] garyd9:
No.. your off base there. deleted_wakelock has nothing whatsoever to do with a frozen app. A wakelock is actually a kernel structure. When an app cleans up after itself, the time it had in wakelock is added to the deleted_wakelocks counter.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] skochw:
Thanks for the great info! I'll definitely be doing this soon after I get mine. I'm curious, how much of a difference in memory consumption/speed have you noticed after disabling all this bloat?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] garyd9:
Well... I really can't answer that, as I didn't seriously use the phone until after I disabled that stuff.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] skochw:
Ah. :) well maybe you could run some benchmarks or something, and we could compare with stock scores?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] garyd9:
1. It wouldn't show up in benchmarks, as benchmarks tend to grab exclusive use of the device (meaning the other stuff wouldn't matter.) As well, I don't believe in benchmarks - they are too easily compensated for.

2. By freezing unused services, they'll never start which means the phone doesn't hold them in memory (freeing memory), doesn't use processor cycles to load/reload/execute them which will result in a lower battery usage (depending on the specific service) and allow the phone to "feel" faster in some cases.

3. Finally, freezing stuff that you don't use cleans up the app drawer. Why would anyone want an icon (even if they don't use it) for AT&T's navigation software when google gives us the same thing for free? (Freezing it also prevents someone else from using it if you loan them your phone.)

Of course, the idea of this thread isn't to discuss the merits of freezing bloat (or the merits of urinating when the need arises.) The idea is to let people know what is "safe" to freeze (and give other device information.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ohRonaldo:
As a guy coming out of the Apple iOS world, I have to say that the only Android device I've held is my wife's Galaxy Nexus on Verizon, and I'm not familiar with the terms "app drawer" or "freezing" apps. Can I ask for a little clarification without sounding like the total noob I am, please?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] garyd9:
(I hope you take this with the humor intended...)

No, there is simply no possible way for you to ask that without sounding like a newbie. However, it's okay... we were all newbies at one time.

"app drawer" - in iOS, every app you install leaves an icon on your homescreen (or one of the homescreens.) That isn't the case with android. In android, YOU decide what your homescreen looks like - you can have app icons, widgets, or just leave them blank. There is usually an icon on the homescreen that lets you access your "app drawer" which contains all the phone apps. On the note2 with default configuration, thats the checkerboard looking icon on the lower right of the homescreen.

freezing - using an application such as "titanium backup", you can "freeze" an app. This is a way to basically completely disable and hide an application without physically uninstalling it. The only effective difference between a frozen app and one that's actually uninstalled is that the frozen app still can be "defrosted" (which restores it to normal.) freezing apps requires that your phone is rooted (which is a topic for another thread...)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ZedZardoz:
The " app drawer" is the location on android that has your application launch icons (and widges). If you delete the app icon on the desktop you can gain access to the installed app here. You can grab a copy from the tray to deposit on other desktop pages.

The term "freezing" is a method to make installed apps dormant and thus not "call home" or use CPU cycles / memory resources that drain power or use data. These are usually done in preparation in determining what apps to un-install. Un-installing bundled applications may leave you no way to re-install them later, short of re-flashing to stock ROM.

Most folks will attempt to freeze apps to remove "bloatware". Later the storage can be reclaimed by un-installing the apps. By freezing, you can avoid "burning a bridge" you may find you need later.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ohRonaldo:
Dynamite answers, thanks. I'm familiar with that app drawer, just didn't know its name, and the requirement of root for a freezing app will be juuust a bit down the road until I can understand the new OS environment.

PS I am a software engineer from way back, part of the generation responsible for "Are you sure?" and "General Error. Continue?" prompts, so.... I deserve every bit of jazz anyone wants to heap on me. :D :D :D
