according to this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1671577 its not a problem.

For Mac, no drivers needed, unzip Evo4GLTERoot.zip to your Downloads directory then open up a terminal and do:

Code:

cd Downloads/Evo4GLTERoot

chmod 755 *

sh runmemac.sh

thats a direct copy and paste from the page..make sure it applies to you though.

T-Mobile Galaxy Note II Toolkit

Ok so I have finally got the T-Mobile Galaxy Note II and just like I did for the SGS II, I am going to start programming a nice flashy toolkit for the Note II.

I'm starting this thread to get started some support and ideas for the project.

If anyone has any good and original ideas please let me know...

Obvious thing that it will do...

- Install CMW (or other recovery)

- Install Root

- Flash Stock

- Sideload APK's

- Install other ZIP Packages

- a few other things that I will carry over from my SGSII Toolkit

But I would love to do some other things for this toolkit to set it above the rest..... So please if anyone has any really nice scripts or tweaks let me know!!! :highfive:

Post to this thread, or pm me...

Here are some screenshots of what I have done so far.

(Not being released yet, only 2 days in to programming)

(Typo has been fixed lol, but you get the point)

Thanks!

I remember you from the sgs2 and your toolkit was actually really good and if you want to develop one it will be welcomed for sure. The one that we have is really good and I use it now. If you remember I was the first one to donate to your sgs2 toolkit. I like the idea of the toolkit and fully support it. I personally like doing things manually but have ran ito problems with adb and find that for the common person with only light skills a toolkit is the way to go.I think that there is definitly a place for toolkits in the future of android development. Please do not let others turn you off from developing your own stuff. The more the better. Just because there is one doesn't mean that there cant be another. This is not a competition and I fully encourage you to do your own thing because the more you do the more experience you will gain.

Some of the things the other one does that I liked was the capability to create your own .tar and store your backups on your pc. Basically just adb automated. Your work on the sgs2 was great and I look forward to see what you come up with for the note 2 (by the way what a kick ass phone huh?) Dont worry about what others say there is always going to be idiots if just one person finds what you do useful then you win.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ssCISengineer:
We ll fine do what you're going to do but we don't need another toolkit.... thats the reality of things whether you accept it is up to you
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ajster1989:
Hey man its great that you support the other toolkit, but I don't really like the option 1 option 2 style.

I like to click on buttons and have something visually nice to work with.

The other toolkit is great, and fully functional, but for me not visually pleasing.

If you want to get an example of what I mean then download my sgs2 toolkit.

The reality is to each his own.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] morphiend:
wtf is wrong with you people? let the man/woman build his toolkit. that'd be like saying "don't make a different rom. a great one already exists."

Welcome to the Note 2, AJ. Glad to see you around. Don't listen to the others. There's no law against more than one toolkit.

For those who have never used his work before, AJ made a very simple and user friendly program for managing the T989. The GUI was what made it special. Everything was sorted easily, so you could add to it if you wanted. Wait until he's done, then make your judgments.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mojorisin7178:
Yeah his stuff is great and to the guy who said we dont need another one who the hell made you the judge of that? The reality is you dont speak for all of us. Aj you will just have to show them thats all.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ssCISengineer:
Yea but I do speak for myself. And that's that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sunglint:
By all means please do!

I've been really surprised by many of the responses. We don't need trolls demeaning another coders efforts, we dont have enough people actually coding and it sounds like his previous work has been well received.

While the current toolkit certainly works well, it is ugly. And while a nicer overlay of buttons would work, I'd like to see a visual design that shows the steps in the process. As important but probably harder, some indication of that status of your phone, i.e. this is your current recovery, here are your current backups, etc.

Even if you do just make a prettier version of the current tool that would be great, I might not switch just because it looks different but there are some that need that extra help. And giving me more information in a intuitive fashion would be wonderful. Also an open monitor console that persists would be nice, so I can see what I've done.

We have a great toolkit now, lets see what you can do, and thanks for the effort!

Honestly, it's not just the reply to his initiative (the toolkit is a fabulous idea) it's a lot of things on XDA. People are really bad about this kind of thing. And this isn't a personal attack on any particular mod but the moderation generally on XDA is very very poor. It allows the bad attitudes and insulting to go on so much that it has become XDA culture now to be rude to others.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ajster1989:
It varies from forum to forum, and this forum being a new forum they might not have a moderator for it yet, and it might be another moderator covering till one is hired.

But it would be nice if they did post the individual moderators for each forum at the top or something.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mojorisin7178:
I thought they did post the individual mods for each fourm I know they did for the t989 right? So we knew who to pm if there was a problem. The toolkit is looking good aj keep up the good work.

I really don't know the terminology, as I'm new to Android, but I'd like to change the color from light blue to a green at the top right (where it shows the battery, wifi etc.), how can I go about doing that? (I'm rooted)

Also, the center button at the very bottom of the phone, that brings you to the apps (circle with dots inside), how can I change that icon? I have Nova + MIUI icons, but I didn't see it in there.

Any help is appreciated!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squadz:
I was able to change the launcher icon (Nova had this built in, just touched and held the icon to change it to whatever I wanted).

Still trying to figure out how to change the status bar icon colors.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
Those colors are baked into framework-res.apk. What you need is either a ROM that supports themes or an themed ROM. Alternatively you could try the Ultimate Online Theme Kitchen, but I'm not sure if it supports 4.2.

Actually just tried editing one of those files and putting them back on (systemUI.apk). It crashed, then when it rebooted it worked (image changed).

Is anyone else experiencing a bug in which you get a text message and you open it from the notification shade and it opens to the first message in the thread? When it happens I have to scroll all the way down to the most recent message and sometimes the message isn't there, so I would have to back out to all of my messaging threads and re-open the thread for the message to appear.

It doesn't happen all the time but frequently enough for it to be annoying.

Am I alone?
[HTC Droid DNA] H3Dude:
It did happen to me a couple times, where I went into the messaging and the top of the thread. But the message has always been there for me.
[HTC Droid DNA] JuStCaLLMeEriC:
Yes this happens to me every time I unlock my phone with a text message notification. It is seriously annoying. I also noticed that if you send or receive a mms (picture for me) it only shows the time stamp for the picture message and it wont show a time stamp from the most recent text message that you receive. (I know that's confusing). But what gives? Why are there bugs?
[HTC Droid DNA] whiteninjazx6r:
Meet too...

I'm having the same issue and it only does it sometimes... Which is very annoying. Also, another issue I have found ridiculous: at least with stock browser when clicking links I have to touch slightly above the link... Nothing else on the phone reacts this way...still an amazing phone but I really want this stuff fixed. Also while I'm complaining... I dont like that my hardware buttons at the bottom only light up when it's completely dark sometimes...and when I'm done with a call, and and I pull the phone away from my head the screen doesn't auto turn back on... Pretty lame stuff...

Hello everyone,

I am coming from Sprint and am waiting for my nexus 4 to arrive. I have to leave sprint by 6 December or I will be fined $350 dollars. My 16GB is backordered and I am not confident I will meet that deadline. In order to leave sprint I need to port my number top straight talk. Since I am new to straight talk I was wondering if I could port my number to the straight talk sim without actually having my phone yet? I am just trying to ensure I am not screwed if Google fails to deliver by within the 3 week period thanks everyone!

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakejm79:
Porting is done via the ST website, you don't actually need a device at all, just the serial# of the (micro) SIM card.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmart75:
I can confirm this works as well. It's pretty slick and you'll love Straight Talk.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lt.Tealc:
i was suprised when the porting took like minutes maybe cause i was with tmobile.. go ahead it will work
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bronk93:
I have ST using an ATT compatible sim. If I had to do it again I'd port my number to Google Voice and order a TMobile compatible sim for the faster speeds. If you port your number to GV you will never have to worry about "porting" again and you can try different prepaid carriers.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giblesnot:
I second this advice. Porting to Google voice will cost you $20 but it's worth every penny. You won't have to port again and you can switch plans effortlessly by just forwarding to your new carrier number from Google voice.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uh60m Pilot:
I was looking into this option a few weeks ago. I was concerned with the number availability when I am deployed. Can you access Google voice in the Middle East? The only other feedback I notice for Google voice was that the messaging and vvm can get screwed up. Have any of you had this issue? Will I be able to program the phone to use the stock mma application for messaging or am I going to get stuck with the poorly developed Google voice application? Finally will Google voice use data or actual carrier minutes? I want to make sure I can get calls inside my work where I have phone signal but weak data.

Thanks for all the help. You all are awesome.:beer:

I have done some more research and found most of my answers besides the Google voice overseas. I think I am going to skip Google voice for the straight talk port... However if I need to change again I will consider it again. I just want to have a simplified experience with texting that Google voice can not offer.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Ian B:
I just did tonight an etf with Sprint and have till 1/7/13 to port the number out. My nexus 4 won't be here for another 6-7 weeks but have an old flip phone reactivated with AT&T for $25 prepaid at their store, not the same as the straight talk plan since the phone has no data plan. Just ordered tonight a Tmobile straight talk SIM card. I was told at Walmart that the AT&T SIM card I got at the AT&T store won't work w straight talk and needed to order a straight talk AT&T SIM card from Walmart.com.

1-Is that correct information regarding needing a straight talk specific AT&T SIM card?

2- Do I port now my sprint number before I even have the phone and before 1/7/13 to google voice since I am going to try Tmobile and AT&T straight talk plans?

3-Do I pay $20 to port my number to google voice and then add the AT&T and Tmobile numbers to the google voice account?

4- Can I port to google voice without having an active phone?

Tia,

Ian B
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziddey:
I have not checked if Google Voice is accessible from foreign IPs, but if not, a VPN would be your best bet (if allowed obviously).

Porting my number to Google Voice has been absolutely worth it. However, it isn't for everyone, like Uh60m Pilot. You can have SMS forwarded to your cell number, and consequently be able to reply from your native sms app (or one of your choosing), but it will be a GV shortcode, not the other person's actual number. It's been a long time since I've done any research, but I remember coming across some sort of app that promises seamless integration. I just did a search and believe it was https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mdrtools.apps.gvintegration&hl=en

I haven't tried it personally so I can't vouch for it.

Of course, it's worth mentioning that GV does not have full support for MMS yet. I've been finding that I can get MMS from certain carriers (at least Sprint but not VZW or TMO last I checked), but they are sent to email instead of the GV app. No MMS sending though.

That said, being able to bang out SMS from the website while on the computer is extremely handy.

Mr Ian B, I don't understand how you paid your ETF yet still have time to port out your number? The convention is that the number is gone as soon as you close the account. You can port it whereever you want.. I believe you can switch between ST att/tmo by just calling in, but I'm just repeating what I read on the forums at one point. You may want to verify that.

As for porting to GV, that is up to you. Do know that they only accept ports from the major carriers-- VZW, ATT, TMO, Sprint. So if you're set on porting to GV and still have service with Sprint, that may be the easiest way.

Otherwise, you'd be looking at activating a TMO prepaid account ($0.99 per sim activation kit, limit 2 per order-- comes with $3.34 which is more than enough for you to port in and out), porting your number in, and then porting it out to GV ($20).

Since you are looking at ST, you aren't going to be worried about minutes, so it's really up to you if you want to port to GV..

edit: just realized there's a free version of GV SMS Integration: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...vintegration.free&feature=more_from_developer

may give it a shot myself..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Ian B:
Thanks for info Ziddey. I requested the etf tonight and I have till the end of my current billing cycle on 1/7/13 to port the number out. They will send me a bill in February for the etf. I am currently on Sprint and my Sprint number is my google voice number based on some agreement between them. I just want to port my 13 year old number somewhere and not lose it. I don't want to give out a new number to all my 200+ contacts. Does ST charge to port numbers in and out?

Tia,

Ian B
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziddey:
No, porting is generally free. Sprint has some sort of integration with GV, which may explain why I can receive MMS from Sprint users. The $20 porting fee only applies to GV.

I'm unable to boot into recovery after flashing the [JB 4.2] - CleanROM 2.5 rom. The ROM has horrible performance issue and I'm unable to flash a different ROM now.

I get the same screen when doing it with ADB (adb reboot recovery).

UPDATE: I also noticed that this ROM has changed my folder structure. All the folders used to be stored in /sdcard/ directory. Now it keeps moving ALL my folders into a /sdcard/0/ and android auto populates new folders. it did it twice and now my folder and files are located in /sdcard/0/0/. Any fix to this?

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tronmech:
The stock recovery, yes. You need to use goomanager or rom manager to reinstall the custom recovery. At which time you should be able to put things back together.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezas:
The ROM did not change your file structure. It is the 4.2 update that does that. Doesn't matter stock or custom ROM you are gong to get the new file structure.

Clean ROM may have killed performance for you, but you have something else going on because Clean ROM is working great for many many users.

As for your growing 0 folders you need to update your recovery to stop that from happening.

If someone (s) can try this . install CPU spy reboot , reset cpu spy and use phone normally u will see max go to 1500 like normal but after about 10- 15 min ( if that) reset cpu spy agn and hit refresh 1500 is no longer used it max's out at 1242 and will never hit 1500 agn . till reboot . is this normal for this phone ?
