Thanks I'll wait for the video
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grant Barker:
You've been busy, you and Rob. I'll do my small contribution and add them to my community links page, after work, along with any videos you care to post.

I offered 2 Galaxy Note 2 cases, for anyone who got the SC-02E rooted, so please decide among yourselves who wants them or should have them, give me a delivery address and I'll post them out. They've been opened and tried (for like 3 minutes) but both cases are in new condition, although one box is roughened up.

Props for your work and community support. :good:

CM10.1 not officially supported

I posted in the CM10.1 thread in the development forum, and basically got told we won't be getting support officially.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=36982315&postcount=86

Anyone fancy doing some kernel developing?!! lol!!

EDIT: Can't remember, but who was asking about the toggles being at the bottom of the status bar? Check the snapshot below, a work in progress. Gotta fix the top.

Do people prefer the brightness control as the slider or using the toggle?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pseudosmurff:
That was me, and yea that looks really good to me, keep up the good work maybe this weekend I'll get your rom flashed.

I personally turned off the slider in notification because I use widgetsoid for brightness.

Edit: That seems really crappy they won't support our phone which is nearly the exact same specs as the international and probably needs some less than 10 lines of code for our flash/vibrate/lte to work correctly
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
I'm not sure as to why but I'm guessing docomo may have some proprietary code or something. I don't know enough about kernels! I'm sure if it was that easy it would be done by the maintainer

The toggles I got have a brightness one included, however I've got the slider position changed now. I just need to figure out the notifications and I'll be happy with how it looks :victory:

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y0kei:
failed again. i tested it N7100 and rooted succesfully.

toolkit cant change my CS02E to downloadmode, i changed it manually.

when i connect my phone with PC, nothing happens, only charging.

but it is connecting in downloadmode and receiving from ODIN.

is there another idea?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pseudosmurff:
I mentioned this in an earlier post, that windows will reinstall the sc-02e drivers and you will need to again reinstall the N7100 drivers from the toolkit.

To make life easier I installed the N7100 drivers using the toolkit and then rebooted the phone into download mode manually (not yet plugged into the PC) and then manually open ODIN and plug the phone into the computer. The computer should then detect the N7100 drivers and ODIN should see the phone.

AND THEN after your flash is finished and the phone reboots, then next time you plug it into the computer it will reinstall the SC-02E drivers, so the process repeats.

The update for this week

I looked at my docomo bill and it looks good so far .If this port goes well you can also dial direct to the states at a cost of 31yen per 30 sec <--(not cool):( .So you know what that means Rob :) I will get back to work on the port .I also reached out to a User on youtube to see if he could do a little tweaking on the stock docomo kernel.He may or may not charge.(No promises though).

In the mean time this week the video for the reset counter will go up .Just a reminder let me know if the AciDetox extreme V3 has any problems because kuritaro9 found a bug with the Spen and audio input jack freezing the phone with Page buddy enable .If so just install the normal version V2.It may just be a mix up with the beta version I gave him.

If any one is wondering about MHL display it does work with are phone ,but it needs to be a 11 pin cable or you can get a 5 pin to 11 pin adapter.

I have also been looking hard at wireless charging mod and NFC .Why? Just because the Verizon battery has the NFC built in the battery and the fourth terminal on the battery is for NFC.

Hey Grant thanks for the case offers,I would love to use them but I just bought a otter box .:cool:
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
SWEEEEET!! Lazy days! :p

It would be cool if we could get vibrate support on the custom kernels out there, such as note2core. I wouldn't mind making a donation to the dev glewarne if he could get vib/and flash working on his kernel, I'm assuming that was all that wasn't working, but hey getting a few governors and and some other tweaks if possible would be nice on stock.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y0kei:
is there any solution for only use ODIN to root and flash without toolkit.

my sc02e is connecting while in downloadmode, so think that i may root it with only ODIN.

if it is possible, pls help me.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
Have you got the boot.img that was posted earlier?

If so you can connect manually to ODIN select PDA select the boot.img and flash it that way.

Think there's two boxes to check, reboot and one more but I can't remember which right now.

The toolkit automates this process is all.

Root successful for LG Docomo phone.

Hi guys,

From the articles by androidpolice.

http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/01/21/exclusive-how-to-root-ntt-docomos-lg-optimus-g/

giantpune found a way to disable the DOCOMO nonsense.

Maybe we can reference to his method and find out how he does that.

His rooting method is different from Samsung phone, only meant for LG but he manage to disable the DOCOMO thing that is haunting us.

I had extracted his boot.img.

Any taker?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
I'll take a look tonight.

Mabye the rootme.sh script might helps us. Does it actually say it disabled it fully? Have they been able to run root manager and the other things we've had problems with?

Sent from my SC-02E using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] octa_amide:
Here is the intro from the article

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Optimus G on Japan's Docomo network is an interesting device, as it ships with a mandatory access control system that basically prevents remounting system, reading boot, executing tasks with root privileges, and things of that nature. Thus, the root process for this version of the Optimus G was a tricky one.

A backdoor found by Android hacker giantpune will be used, which allows the bootloader to be unlocked, a modified boot.img to be flashed, and some security features to be disabled – ultimately allowing root access to be achieved.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Those security things sounds exactly like what we are facing.

But they had it worse as thier bootloader was locked.

May have to read their threads and see what had been solved.

Will read it when I am off work, on the train back home.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
Yeah I read the article too. Technically we were able to bypass the security features as well although not totally disable it.

Hopefully should be able to unpack the boot.img and take a look at what's in that script and maybe make additions to in ours and see if they work.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TokyoGirl:
This would be so cool. While 98 percent (or more) satisfied with the first root, I can still tell there are some issues, because Docomo *does* want to treat us all like CoDoMo. ^_^ (Apologies to R-bob for the clever name and copyright violation of his ROM.) Seriously though, I'm really tempted to go into a Docomo shop (Kyodo) and tell them, "Hey, it's rooted, and you lose, so give up already."

One issue I've noticed, and it's intermittent, which I realize is the worst possible kind: Close an app by Back-Buttoning out of it. Sometimes, actually a lot, but darn it, not always, and I'll get a screen blank for about 1 second. Not very long for sure, but sometimes I don't get it at all. Disconcerting -- almost like it's trying to hot restart, but doesn't.

TokyoGirl wandered over to Yodobashi in Shinjuki this afternoon and plunked down for a (long overdue) 64GB SD. Plenty of storage now for all the ROMs you guys crank out. ^_^ My music files were definitely starting to put a crimp on SDcard0 space.

Final question: A friend asked me if there is any way Docomo can tell I'm rooted if I stay out of their shops. I don't think so, but I really don't know. I've never heard of anyone being sanctioned like that.

Thanks again, all.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
The screen thing sounds like home launcher lag, which shouldn't be happening with all the memory available! Any apps in particular?

As regards to knowing of root, no they shouldn't know unless they look at our status screen where it says modified. I have heard of rumours of shady practices by Japanese carriers though.

Say it's not true!!! ^_^ My friend wants to root, but he's the very nervous type.

You are probably right (of course) about it being a launcher lag. Just doesn't happen every time, even with the same app. I'm using Go, with MultiLiveWallpaper. Camera ZOOM FX is a big offender, but again, not every time, darn it. And Poweramp also offends, but also not every time. Go Launcher updated today, but you wouldn't know it from my experience so far. <lol>

---------- Post added at 04:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:59 PM ----------

If you know of a more stable/better launcher that will allow me to have independent home screen backgrounds plus really nice transition effects ... 教えって下さい。
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
Like I say there shouldn't be any way of knowing and also it's easy to revert to normal if you need to take in for a service or other.

As regards launcher, I used to use SS Launcher that's pretty cool, and had magazine style transitions if you like that sort of thing, and each home screen could gave its own wallpaper set. It also has a non-grid layout for unique setups.

Also try lagfree from the market it may help with that problem.

I am with you for violent revolutions, sick of every institution in the world going the route of *make new oppressive law, we know whats best for you*

On the launchers note, I use almost all the GO apps and it is very obvious their code is not very optimized. I don't get the 1 second black screens but I can see if you don't keep your memory clean then its probably GO launcher lagging.

Just found today this app:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1987032

although not specifically meant for android versions 4.0+ it seems like a really nice app to try. Can't say with confidence as I've only had it running for an hour but I *feel* like tiny moments of glitches are smoothed out. Recommend trying it out.

You weren't able to install superuser or SuperSU from the play store?

Ok. Once you flashed the kernel you still need to install su binary and super user to the system and I guess we need usb access to your phone for this. Have you tried reinstalling the Samsung drivers?

MIUI

Anybody tried out MIUI?

It's based off of TouchWiz right, for the n7100? So in theory we can have a custom ROM with everything working.

We can port it right to our phone using the methods here [GUIDE]How To Port Different ROMS to Your Device (Simplest and Fastest) and here porting from the n7100 to n7105 and.. from the at&t forums. I used the latter.

EDIT*Repacking the ROM...lets see if it flashes ok once done. Who actually likes MIUI? I've never tried it before so will be a first if it boots

EDIT2: Booted up and stuff seems to be working. Sound is an issue at the moment, may have missed something there. We'll see, no lte either it seems yet, and the phone crashes occasionally. Lets say a work in progress!

Wonder if the voltage is the difference... and also curious about that as will bring my GN2 over during next visit in March.

If you're getting a charge doubt it is the connector unless the charge was stopping and starting a lot. It will charge slower through my laptop versus the wall outlet... which is why I was thinking not enough power.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] octa_amide:
Actually, the type of usb cable matters. There are 2 type of cable. One is for data. This trigger the phone in data transfer mode which draws less current from the port. Another is the charging cable. This cannot be use as a data cable, it will not show anything if you plug it to your pc. But you will charge.

I use a usb cable that come with a switch. I can choose data or charge.

I can go from 10% to 100% in less than 3 hours using pc usb port. It takes forever if I use the data mode.

However, the power adapter that you use also matters. I use a 2 A output usb charger. 0 to 100 in 1.5 hours. Tried that already.

If you use data cable with 2A usb charger. It will still be slow.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garwynn:
Correct me if I'n wrong but aren't the stock cables and power adapters designed to provide the optimum amps to maximize battery life? You might use a higher amp cable to charge - used an LG cable in the past for this - but thought it reduces the battery life doing so.

Been my experience to always use tge stock cable for both power and data when possible.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
Yeah the stock cables are usually fine, my wife's charges at what would be the optimal rate I guess. My one seems faulty is all. Dunno if the pin/connector which allows for fast charging is broken or something

EDIT: ||ROM||Unofficial MIUI||3.1.25||1-28-13|| - Check out this thread for unofficial MIUI. It has sound working unlike mine, although I currently can't get data, but seeing if I can,

Data works. APNs (I added the values from our apns-conf.xml to the one in the system/etc) need to be pushed to the zip file BEFORE placing on your sd/flashing the ROM, that's what worked for me anyhows!

EDIT2: To get a xiaomi account go here https://account.xiaomi.com/pass/register?_locale=en, register on a pc, confirm your stuff then sign in on your phone. You need this to d/l themes.

EDIT3: I wonder if this is what needs to be done with CM10.1, the apns? If anyone is using a Mac or Linux distro you could add them to the apns.conf.xml from ours and see. I can't edit on Windows due to the way CM file system is structured and I don't currently have a partition or VM with ubuntu on it
