Thanks for root guys. It's working fine and it's nice to have the old apps for rooted phones back.

(I also get a reboot with Mount R/W using Root Explorer (File Manager), but don't need that at this time.)

:good:
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TokyoGirl:
Now that I'm rooted, do you know (or does anyone know) how to get rid of that "Partner Bookmarks" folder? It seems it comes up by default way too often, and frankly I'd just like to be rid of it. But I don't know where this data is, so I can't do much.

宜しくお願いします。

tasker needs help but doesn't like busybox

Trying to set up some Tasker stuff, stuff that requires Secure Settings and a Helper Plugin (necessary to toggle GPS). Unfortunately, the helper thinks it's not installed because it cannot detect busybox because it's apparently looking for the busybox from Stericson. When it decides busybox is not onboard it offers to take me to Play and install, and that's the one (Stericson's) that comes up. Unfortunately, that was also the BB that I first tried, which didn't work, so I changed to JRummy's, which did. But the plugin is not detecting JRummy's for some reason. I know some of you guys are old hat with this stuff -- this girl isn't. Advice & counsel appreciated. :confused:

Update: Catch-22! The SS Helper cannot be uninstalled, because of the same busybox problem that prevents it from working in the first place. :(

I will be getting my rom ready for use later tonight. It will have a gps toggle via the lidroid toggles modded by wanam.

Another alternative try using elixir 2 has some very good system stuff and toggles

Just rooted and I seem to have a problem, phone keeps rebooting a few seconds after booting up.

Going to try restoring the backup I took.

Any ideas?

EDIT - Tried putting it in airplane mode and it seemed to fix the problem...until I enable the data connections then it shuts down and starts looping again.

EDIT 2 - Doesn't matter if the data connection is through LTE or WIFI, as soon as it connects it reboots. I tried deleting a few of the apps I installed after booting but that didn't help either. Restoring the backup now. Really hope that fixes it.

EDIT 3 - Backup worked a treat, going to retrace my steps and see if I can figure out what the problem was.

EDIT 4 - Narrowed it down to an app called Set DNS. Soon as I gave it root access it would keep rebooting the phone. Now I gotta find another DNS changer!

CoDoMo! ROM beta preview

Do you want it just for wifi or for 3g as well? It appears to be the 3g option that is causing the restarts

If you want it for just wifi I got a workaround for you I think. You need to be fast after the first reboot. Go into Superuser/SuperSU. and deny root access to SetDNS. This will stop the reboot temporarily. Go into SetDNS and go into Settings (cog icon at top), then uncheck the box for Override 3G DNS.

Exit app. Go back to SuperSU and grant SetDNS root access again, and now you should be able to use it for wifi.

CoDoMoROM beta preview- Here is what I've been working on for a bit. Not gonna do an official post yet. If you want to test it out feel free to download it and give it a try and give me some feedback. Sorry its a bit later than I said. I've been ironing out a few kinks that I could here and there, and getting everything in order. Its a little hefty at the minute. I've still got a figure out what can and can't be removed from docomo apps and other things. Once I done that I will push out some updates/patches to do that.

Added Features:
SystemUI Colour change - Yellow text and images (fcb414 colour hex)
Transparent Status Bar and System Background that uses Holo Dark bg.
Centred Clock on status bar and custom notification background.
Changed default wallpaper of home and lockscreen
Ink effect on finger swipe not just pen gesture, and currently pink!
Additional CSC features - Secondary symbols on stock Samsung Keyboard
Enabled Exit option with prompt on stock browser
Added the 23 Toggles Mod by lidroid and ported by Wanam to the Note 2
Stock Camera now has option to turn on/off shutter sound
Phone/Dialer has call-recording enabled. Go into menu and select record sounds when on phone screen
Added 4-in-1 reboot *Hot Reboot Currently doesn't work and will break Regular Reboot if you try it so don't!:p
CRT-Off Animation
init.d scripts, and build.prop edits

I also included the Xposed framework installer and some modules for that [FRAMEWORK] Xposed - go here and it gives you instructions on how to install it, simple really. Open the app hit upgrade/install and then reboot. Open app again hit the Modules option at top and select the ones you want and reboot again.

Modules can be found here http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/microdownloads/

I've included the tweakbox <-- a collection of mods skip track with volume rocker when screen is off, colour changes etc. xposed app settings <-- for per-app-density. and others check out hte module list in the xposed installer.

Sorry guys I been busy for the past 4 days making a port package for some of the popular roms omega,clean rom, ect, So far I have made real good progress with lte working, mms, working,ect but just to be on the safe I decide to hold off till my docomo bill comes and see if there are any changes like for instance say my phone thinks it's on a state side network and charging me for roaming charges even though I am here .How do I know? Because I was able to call a friend in the United States by dialing direct on the phone and my docomo number showed up on his caller ID.

Trust me because it happened to me on a HTC windows phone. I would hate for me to put a rom out and everyone ends up with bills through the roof. :'(

So for some good news. :)

So me and Rob's been at it all week and he really has some cool stuff coming for the docomo rom while I was porting other roms.

So what do I have planned? Teaming up with Robobob1221:D

1st stage detox the docomo rom down to the bare bones and get rid of the trash docomo coding, which rob has already started. (But 1seg tv and Japanese language)

2nd stage add and build mods. Which again rob has already started so hit the thanks button for him :)

Enjoy and if anyone with cooking/zimage/kernel or rom skills are welcome to join.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TokyoGirl:
Your efforts greatly appreciated.

BTW, has anyone been able to get rid of the 'Partner Bookmarks' folder in Chrome? I can't. And I'm really mystified how it got there in the first place. It's *not* on the stock browser. The stock has the infamous 'Other Bookmarks', which is empty. Chrome, post-purchase install, has this Docomo bookmark in 'Partner Bookmarks', and because it often comes up on top when I'd rather be one bookmark folder up, I want to zap it.

I ran a Chrome backup using Titanium, but after the restore I still couldn't get a 'delete' option when long-pressing the offending bookmark. Titanium is supposedly set to ignore privilege settings when backing up bookmarks, so in theory they should be ready to delete after a restore. But no go so far.

I suspect this may be able to be handled through ES File Explorer, but I cannot locate the bookmarks on the file system. Maybe in some database?

As always, help deeply appreciated.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
I haven't got this folder in my bookmarks in Chrome or stock browser. Is it being synced from your desktop browser or another device?

Sent from my SC-02E using Xparent ICS Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qit46:
Just want to confirm the same. Rarely use Chrome but I just opened it and can see the Partner Bookmarks folder inside Mobile Bookmarks. The only partner bookmark is D-Menu.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TokyoGirl:
We see the same thing from that point, but I bet you have that folder. :p Look at the bottom of 'Mobile Bookmarks'.

Somehow, since I spend a lot of time in that folder, often when I open Chrome that booger opens on top. It's gotta go, along with Other Bookmarks, too, for that matter. :fingers-crossed:

FWIW, I turned off bookmark sync. The initial sync was fine, but keeping it on resulted in too much interference from the device to the PC. So I'll just leave the PC as master, and re-sync now and then when necessary.

Edit: forgot to delete IMG from quoted

ReEdit: No way that bookmark came from my desktop.

---------- Post added at 09:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:48 AM ----------

Can you confirm as well: that folder and bookmark do not exist on the stock browser? I find that very weird that a carrier-related protected bookmark was apparently installed by the Chrome install when it was not on stock. Did Docomo put some code in there to *move* that folder and bookmark from stock to Chrome in the event Chrome was ever installed? Seems unlikely, but I cannot account for the existence of this offender.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qit46:
The D-Menu also exists in the stock browser. Inside bookmarks, there is a section named My Device (tap to expand) . The Docomo bookmark is in there.

Edit: I was able to delete it. Still gone after a reboot.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TokyoGirl:
How odd. It is absolutely not on my stock browser. My Device has only 5 bookmarks that I created, and no folders at all. No doubt about it. So, that means I must have deleted (and forgotten that I'd deleted) that bookmark previously in the stock browser, but probably not until after I installed Chrome, which probably imported it during that install. But if I could (and you can) delete it in the stock browser, why the heck can't I delete it in Chrome?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
No partners folder even inside the Mobile bookmarks. I'm am however synced across several devices some which had chrome prior.

It seems you can delete it ^^^^

Anyone trying out the rom I posted above? I'll add a features list to that post.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TokyoGirl:
It seems it was/is delete-able when it was in the stock browser, but when I long-press it only Open in new tab, Open in incognito tab, and Add to home screen are available options.

I could try re-syncing from my desktop, but since that folder is living in Mobile Bookmarks, it's unlikely that a sync would get rid of it, yes? Let's see ... to make sure I get my desktop synced to device rather than the other way around, the procedure would be, 1) Power off the device, 2) Enable sync on the desktop, 3) Power up the device. Then after the sync takes place, I just disable it again from my desktop. Have I got that right? (I'll verify first that the objectionable folder is not on my desktop, which I'm pretty sure is the case.)

Look forward to trying out that ROM, maybe soon.

Edit: There must be a way to handle this from the file system, yes? Or are these bookmarks buried in some database that is better left undisturbed?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qit46:
Wasn't Chrome baked into the Docomo factory rom? Like all their other crapware, there's no option to uninstall. Just remove updates.

Thanks to everyone involved for all the hard work! Might have time to test the new rom later today.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TokyoGirl:
You must be right about that, and I must have just forgotten it. But I have no complete uninstall option either. So, this is where Titanium backup comes in, right? *That* has an uninstall option for Chrome of course. Question: Just uninstall then reinstall, or should I do something else first? I'm a new root user on mobiles, so I am still feeling my way around. :o

Ugh, before I can even try this I'll have to figure out how to handle the market, which says I have Chrome browser installed, so it won't let me install it again. :(
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
Delete it via TiB and then download it from the play store should be fine.

Use a file manager and check in /system/app and data/app. You might have to delete both
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qit46:
Just tried uninstalling Chrome via TiB. Triggered a reboot and Chrome was back in its default state.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TokyoGirl:
Maybe try freezing it first? I don't know.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qit46:
Freezing didn't help. Still got the reboot and app reset.

But here's how I got it. Rebooted into recovery. After mounting /system, I deleted Chrome.apk and ChromeBookmarksSyncAdapter.apk from /system/app/

After rebooting, installed Chrome from the Play Store and the Docomo bookmark is gone. Squeaky clean now.

Before doing anything like this, I always backup the rom in recovery in case something happens.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TokyoGirl:
I hear ya. :) Just finished the fresh TWRP, and I'll try the process now. Will advise, however how did you solve the market problem? Wasn't Chrome showing as installed on your system, preventing you from installing it again?

Edit: I'm even going one step further ... copying the new backup to the PC before I do anything else. :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qit46:
Chrome completely disappeared so no problem installing fresh from the market.

Yeah. Never hurts to spend a few extra minutes copying the backup off the phone because it's always possible to accidentally wipe everything.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TokyoGirl:
The deletions appear to have gone okay, but I have a question about TWRP. It seems, after almost any procedure is done, the screen says Updating partition details... . But this seems to persist indefinitely. Choosing other menu options shows that, in fact, the operation(s) seem(s) to have succeeded, but the failure of that screen to say "completed" or something like that is a bit of a mystery.

Anyone else?

Edit: Failure here. I mounted, and deleted the two files. I did no other uninstall. But when I rebooted Chrome was still on the device, and of course all its bookmarks were, too. Obviously, I overlooked something ...

Ideas?

Edit 2: In fact, the offending bookmark appears to be gone!!! It's no longer in the Mobile Bookmarks folder. Yet, all my other bookmarks are still there, and of course the Chrome installation itself didn't go anywhere. So now I'm really baffled. :)

Next: Can we kill the Other Bookmarks folder as well?

We have to keep you away from primary schools, I guess. (＾▽＾)

Edit: Robobob-san, for sure I seem to be having some trouble or misunderstanding about TWRP. It just never self-clears from "Updating partition details ..." whether I try to mount, or perform any other operation. So, I'm not sure whether to ignore, or what. I really like the TWRP interface, but what is that funky looking fellow above the 'menu' button? Is that home plate at Tokyo Dome, or what? And the "return" returns sometimes, as does "home plate", but not always, and there is just no indication of "finished ... move on to the next task".

You?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
As long as one or someof the soft keys come up for Reboot, Home, Wipe, Back or whichever then don't worry about what is in the script. The probelm would be if the soft keys didn't appear at all or if an error is reported.

I don't know the ins and outs of TWRP to be honest.

I haven't had any issues with it
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TokyoGirl:

Eventually, it clears, allowing the various buttons to be accessed. But the script business is 変。

And the problem is that after pressing "Mount", the soft keys never appear, unless you back out of it after a sufficient amount of time. 奇妙な.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TokyoGirl:
strange ...

After reading about your TiB experience, I decided not to try it. But after failing (more or less) with other methods, I decided to try TiB. I'm sitting here, right now, looking at the Backup/Restore column in TiB. I've deleted Chrome. But I got no reboot, and I'm looking at a normal list of apps that has a horizontal line through Chrome 18.0.1025469.

Who knows what the reboot will bring, or if I can even install the app again because of the vagaries of the market, but I'm about to try since I'm backed up.

Here we go ...............................

Update 1: After the reboot, Chrome is gone. Vanished. Will advise.

Update 2: The market was indeed okay. I was able to reinstall Chrome, and apparently it is as clean as a whistle. I will now power down the device, enable bookmark sync from my PC, and after the sync disable bookmark sync. But I think the Docomo bad boy is gone. :)

Update 3: The sync was good, and the Docomo bad seed is indeed gone. There is also an uninstall option in app manager now for Chrome. Sadly, the bastard Other Bookmarks remains. Must I offer a bounty on that one? (^_-)

About ready to declare nuclear war on Google, for all the good that would do. I cannot figure out their sync, and I seriously doubt if anyone else can.

1) I enabled sync bookmarks in my Google PC settings while my device was powered off with a FRESH, clean, install of Chrome.

2) When I powered on the device and signed into Chrome, my bookmarks were synced from the PC, as expected.

But it just wasn't that simple. (Is it ever?)

3) After seeing that the bookmarks on the device had been synced, I rechecked the PC.

4) (*&$!! The PC bookmarks on my PC, while *mostly* in order, had been reordered, particularly about a half dozen on the bookmarks toolbar that now, instead of being on the toolbar, are in the >> (additional bookmarks that cannot fit on the toolbar). And older bookmarks reappeared.

ARRRGGHHH.

I'm beginning to think Google does evil, despite its slogan.

Is there any advice for me to achieve the following:

I want Google to never, ever, upon pain of an ugly death, to touch, rearrange, or manipulate in anyway my PC bookmarks. They can go to hell first.

I want to, periodically, sync my PC bookmarks, which are the master, to my SC-02E.

Other than that, I think I want Google to go home and stay home. :) Seriously, they seem out of control.

You *might* want to hold off on the disaster kit (second from left at the top in the first frame you posted). Particularly if you have a wife/girlfriend/boyfriend/other-sex-toy/relatives that you want to contact in case of an emergency like "The Big One".

My understanding is that, even if the primary phone system goes down, that's a rugged backup in which you can leave a text message for other Docomo users who have it, stating location, condition, etc. (116?) I also believe you can use it to set an alarm to receive advance P-wave notice (like NHK was able to give viewers in Tokoyo just prior to the Fukushima quake). It may or may not be timely, but even 5 or 10 seconds could save your life if you could get under a table or a desk before the walls come crashing in.

Like I say, I've never used it, but it has a terribly small footprint, and I don't intend to dump it just yet. Doubt if it slows anything down.

Thanks. Reinstalled VLC and Chrome to fix the issues. VLC doesn't seem to like the 1080p videos taken with the stock camcorder. Choppy with green artifacts and then stops playing before the end of the file. It's still beta so probably just a known issue with the app.
