as it still a trial app, and the service is very limited, you can go ahead and uninstall it. once its fully up and running, you can re download it from the play store...

"The trial service is available as follows:

On 1 and 15 of every month

January 1 – 3

Disaster Drill Week (August 30 – September 5)

Disaster Prevention and Volunteer Week (January 15 – January 21)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grant Barker:
Yeah. Good point. I just noticed that we can freeze apps with Titanium and they will not show up in the app drawer. That's enough for me right now. Just to clean things up a bit. I bought Titanium ages ago but only used it for backups before. Cheers.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuritaro9:
same here. when i first bought it, i went a bit freeze,unistall crazy and ended up screwing the stock rom on my SG2 up. vipsavior rescued that phone for me...hahaha
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TokyoGirl:
Yeah, with freeze, uninstall is hardly necessary -- unless the storage requirement is huge.

Better modem

Is it just me or does the stock modem suck?

example: when 1 app is downloading from the market other pages won't load until the download is finished.

On my old Galaxy I-9000 I could be doing many things concurrently... downloading an app, browsing multiple web pages, etc...

Just wondering what other people think and what the chance of us getting a better modem that can handle many simultaneous transmissions at the same time?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
There are some scripts that attempt to adjust frequency range. Can try those. I got them in the custom rom test it out!

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pseudosmurff:
I plan on testing out your rom in the next week or 2. I really want transparent notification bar and custom boot animations and other tweaks like that.

On the custom rom note (pun intended) any idea about official ports of Cyanogenmod and MIUI?

I know vipsavior said he got something done with compatibility for Omega and some other roms, wondering if that includes CM and MIUI?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
There is a miui maybe for the n7105 but I haven't tested it.

Regarding cm their isn't a kernel that is fully compatible to receive data AFAIK for us. You might have some luck browsing the Japanese sites...

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pseudosmurff:
Another really annoying nitpick I have is the sliding toggles when you pull down the notification bar.

I know its just to constantly remind non-techies that the toggles slide, but it just annoys me every time I pull down the Notif bar.

Anyway to tweak that away in the stock rom?

If not maybe something you can do in your custom rom.

Another probably demanding thing for the custom rom might be the toggles at the bottom of the notification bar and possibly being able to add in all of the toggles which would extend it to 3 sliding rows, I got to like that a lot from MIUI.

I realize what I'm asking is probably tons of tearing through the core code so no big deal if none of it can be done.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
With the wanam mod the toggles no longer slide. Regards to location and number of rows I'll see what can be done

Are there ongoing issues with busybox (currently only one version works, and it's apparently not the version Tasker is looking for) in this rom?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
What version does jrummy busy box installer say you're running?

I tried using Tasker to switch on Gps when entering maps. You gotta download secure settings from the store if you want it to work. What root action you trying to carry out exactly?

noted...

Edit: what do people think 14hours on battery with 7 1/2 hours of screen on time. Is that acceptable?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TokyoGirl:
Sorry for falling asleep last night. :) Busybox 4.1. I knew about the secure settings being necessary -- so I installed it, version 1.3.1. (Pro). Then you also need, I'm informed, Secure Settings Helper, and this is where the rub is. I have 1.2.1 installed according to the Helper menu in SS. But when I click 'Verify The Helper' (same sub menu), it says Busybox was not detected, would you like to be taken to the market and download it now? So I followed along, but it took me to Stericson's BB, which had some issues with this root, so I declined it. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Helper, too, but no go. BTW, there are alternating messages when I try to 'Verify the Helper': One is that busybox was not detected, the other is that the Helper is not installed to the system partition. I believe it is, but since it can't find JRummy's BB, it doesn't think so.

I'd like to feel comfortable with this root, but since Root Explorer doesn't work (hot restarts when trying to mount) and Stericson's BB doesn't work, there still seems to be some wrinkles that haven't been ironed out. :(

P.S. That's awesome battery life!

Edit: I seem to be in another Catch-22 with this. Cannot uninstall the SS Helper now, because the uninstall asks for busybox. Worth trying Stericson's again just so (maybe) I can get the Helper uninstalled and try reinstalling it again? Am I going to have trouble if there are two versions of busybox on the system? I would think so ...

Edit 2: Just trying to get Tasker to completely work. It cannot perform certain actions without the Secure Settings Helper, and the Helper doesn't like JRummy, or something. :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
I didn't have any problem installing secure settings and the settings helper.

Do me a favour and try using the customized ROM I posted a couple pages back. I haven't had any problems installing any of these things bar Stericsson's Busybox Installer.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TokyoGirl:
Okay, I'll make a fresh TWRP & try it. If I have problems I just reflash with TWRP, right?

BTW, I could *install* those things on the root rom, I just couldn't use them. Can you go to Secure Settings > Helper > Verify Helper and get satisfaction?

Edit: The procedure for flashing is the same, yes? Locate the ROM with the toolkit, and choose flash insecure rom?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
I installed them and I was able to set gps task which required the helper plugin.

I uninstalled it currently I reinstall and confirm.

And yeah if there is anything wrong just restore your backup in TWRP
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TokyoGirl:
I wonder why I haven't had success with that. Maybe first I'll try to uninstall SS, reinstall and see what happens. Will advise, and either way I'll try the rom.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
When you are setting up your gps setting, do you select the plugin option?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TokyoGirl:
Well, I realize now that I failed to install that SS Helper correctly. I did not move the apk over to /system/app and set permissions to 644. There is a brief popup that SS displays telling one to do that, but maybe my attention was distracted and so I missed it. But on the reinstall this morning I realized it, and now it's working properly (the SS Helper is recognized and verified).

However, I'm still not able to get Tasker working properly. I set up a profile called Test. In that profile I have a condition that if Fancy Widgets or Maps are active, to Auto-launch GPS. But it isn't happening. Notification bar constantly says the Tasker has 'No Active Profiles.'

Can't quite figure that one out yet. ;)

Edit: Did find the option in SS to turn on the Helper for GPS, so I set that and will reboot and see. Without a reboot, nothing changed.

Edit: I must be a lot thicker than I imagined (pretty thick). I seem to be able to access all the parts, and the parts seem to be working, but I seem to be unable to assemble them correctly. (Some assembly required.) :)

I found where to insert the plugin (SS Helper) into my task, and enable GPS is selected, but Tasker still taunts me at the notification screen, saying "no active profiles". Thick, I tell you. :(

Edit: No joy. I think I should hold off on the custom rom. If I can't even get this much right, I may be unqualified to play at a higher level. :(

Edit: Okay, maybe only 50% thicker than imagined. :) I understand now that in the notification bar, no active profile is just another way of saying nothing going on ... right now. What a waste of space. :) But, the task works. When GPS is off, and I run one of the selected apps in the task, GPS now turns on. Small victories for small minds. :) Now, I want to figure out how to turn it OFF when the app is finished running. *Then*, I feel like I might be (barely) qualified to flash another rom or two. ;)

And have I mentioned how nice I think this board is? I feel very welcomed here, my disqualified-ness to participate notwithstanding ... :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
In your profile/tasks you can add an end task so that when you back out of the app WiFi will turn off.

I'm sure there are preprogrammed profiles for WiFi if you go the tasker wiki, or there must be a thread on xda with some set profiles, as this would be veering a little off topic now :p

Hit me up on pm if you need any help that being said, although I'm still figuring out tasker myself!

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TokyoGirl:
I understand about off topic. :) I'm going to continue to try and work through this myself, because that's the best way to understand it. I'd rather do that than import some profile that I didn't completely understand, or just beg for help. If push comes to shove, however, thanks for the PM offer. Once I get this, I'll try the rom. Bear with me, please.

Edit: Success (finally, and a victory for the truly thick-headed) with Tasker -- at least to the point where I can have GPS disabled, open one or more specified apps and have it auto-enable, and then have it auto-disabled when I exit that/those apps.

Now a backup, and then on to the rom. I can install my apps from the current rom to the new rom via TWRP, right? (She said, hopefully, in her ignorance.) :)

Then I may wander over to the neighborhood practice range and whack a few. It's bloody cold, but I'm cold-blooded when it comes to golf.

Pre-golf edit: One silly Q before I go out the door in a couple of minutes: I can delete older backups from TWRP via the PC when I'm connected, with no problem, yes? I'm sure it's okay; I just don't want to be shocked. :) (Girls just wanna have fun, don'tcha know!)

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
You'd be better off using titanium back or my backup pro for apps and their data. Its a bit difficult to restore apps via twrp. You can restore data but there might be issues going from an odexed Rom to a deodexed Rom.

Is there any reason to favor My Backup Pro over Titanium? (One I've paid for, the other not.) :)

This means, I guess, that I need to do two backups before trying that rom: 1) nandroid complete (TWRP) 2) Titanium app backup.

Please advise.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
No both have a similar function, I personally use TiB.

Yeah do both nandroid and app+data backup. That way when you flash the new rom you can just restore your previous setup through TiB. I think you can create a zip file of your backup that can be flashed in recovery, but yeah do the backup :)

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TokyoGirl:
Okay, but when I go into the TiB Backup/Restore, there are a ton of options. Not quite sure what I should choose.

I'd really *like* to do this. But unless I'm sure I can restore all my apps as they are, then I'm left only with the TWRP nandroid backup, which just gets me back to square one.

Edit: What I'm sayin' ... is that if you look up 'Noob' in the dictionary, you might find my picture. :)

Edit: Should I update the Galaxy Note 2 toolkit? It seems there is an update available, but I'm not sure how to go about accomplishing it.

Okay, I'm ****ed.

I cannot find the image, and I closed Odin, and my phone is sitting there in download mode saying Do not turn off target!!

I have no idea what to do and am desperately worried about bricking this phone.

When you get a chance, eh?

And no more, not without specific instructions. The video was why I went ahead and rooted this. But I'm not qualified to go on my own. Sorry. What I mean is, step 1 through step N. Otherwise, I'll just screw it up.

Good thing, too, because I had pressed apps & data for my backup.

But my big problem right now is how to get Odin to see that boot.img. I put it in a folder on my desktop, but when I used Oden <PDA> to navigate there, it could not see the image.

Free Unlock updates.

Hi guys,

Updating from Thailand.

I am now using our SC-02E with prepaid sim from DTAC.(Thailand).

No problem. Surfing smoothing with 7 days of unlimited internet.

And I read about turning back on the SHA256 thing.

I tried it and my phone is still unlock.

I think the unlock thing is permanent.

Switching off unlocks the phone lock.

Switching on DOES NOT lock it back.

For those who have concern on the warranty. Dont try the free unlocking method.

Pay 3500 yen to DOCOMO and have your heart at ease.

Will be going to Singapore next few days. Will tried the Sim card there as well.

Will try out the LTE there. Yes, the frequency is different but saw a option to unlock all LTE bands in the service menu.

Going to try it. Hope I can get LTE in Singapore.

For APN setting, you can use APN backup & restore apps from the playstore to add in new APN.

1) install the apps from playstore but dont run it yet.

2) move the apps to system/app, change permission

3) Reboot

4) run the apps and disable the ICS check option.

5) backup the current APN settings. You will get only 3. Because only Docomo settings are inside.

6) restore APN settings from some where else. I personally uses a APN settings file I backup from another phone. It contains 1819 APN settings.

7) You will get a message reporting how many were successful. I had 1819 APN in my phone right now. Including Docomo original.

This solves the APN issue.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TokyoGirl:
Can you provide a link to that APN list? :)

By the way, following the instructions at the APN app page:

"

- Open Titanium Backup

- Go to backup/restore tab

- Find APN Backup & Restore on the list

- Long press on the app when you find it

- Select Convert to system app

- Open APN Backup & Restore

- Click menu and disable ICS check

Thanks to Joaquín for the instructions."

Results in a hot restart for me after pressing 'Convert to system app'. TiB says 'processing', but then it reboots and the app is gone. Tried it twice ...

Edit: Using octa_amide's instructions worked, however, and I was able to backup the 3 files.

Main screen shot

Yaaaa ... success, it seems. Okay. What we have on the left is BobClockD3, with a color scheme I think is appropriate to the main home screen. Top center is the current moon phase icon for Sundroid, which gives really, really cool information about the Earth (sunrise and sunset), moon and planets. Top right is the Circle Battery Widget. Center right is Fancy widgets (paid) weather app, which should be self-explanatory. Lower right are (no dock on my phone) the standards: CameraFXzoom (replaces camera), the apps, and the phone.

It's a challenge to find a background that is dark where it should be dark and light where it should be less dark. I found one. :)

Frankly ... it's a beautiful boot screen, yes? :)

And we don't need no friggin' taskbar. A half swipe down reveals it for a few seconds; that's enough.

The one complaint I have is with the BobClockD3, which, if you chose American style calendar, renders it "friday january. 18" (yes, with the inappropriate period). How ... ugly!
