Ive already downloaded Titanium Backup Pro and uninstalled all the system apps I wont use. Now I want a app to hide duplicate icons? What other apps do you recommend for a rooted phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ahmarchi:
Advice. . Don't uninstall stuff use the freeze option in titanium back up. And you can hide stuff from touch wiz itself. Go to app drawer and hit the menu and click on hide.

If you have any questions feel free to ask. Just let me know what specifically you want to do

Yes it is just a matter of reverting any mods you make, making sure the superuser apk is installed as a user application,, then delete the su binary in /system/xbin/ folder. After that a factory reset will take it back to stock.

If you are talking about the image from the KFHD_SRTool then nothing changed in the data folder because the data folder has nothing to do with the .img in the tool you used. That is an .img of the system partition. There are ten other partitions from this device, Its just the system image is the most important and usually the one people mess with, inadvertently bricking their device. I don't quite understand what you are trying to do?

I have already rooted my S3 and installed AOKP, but I forgot to sync my contacts with Google, so I had to install the stock ROM and then get all my contacts back using Kies.

So, I want to Root my phone again and get AOKP back as I have now syncd my Contacts with Google.

I booted up Odin and put on the file CWM Recovery.tar

I try to go into Clockwork Mod Recovery mode (volume up, home, Pwr buttons), but I get into just the regular Android system recovery (3e) mode and not Clockwork Mod Recovery.

Any suggestions?!?!

Also, in download mode, it states that I have:

Binary: 4 counts

Current Binary: Custom

System Status: Custom

How can I get into Clock work mode recovery???

All I want to do is install a custom ROM...!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Shane24:
After using Odin to install the .tar file and having it downloaded successfully with Odin, I still cant get into CMR mode. I am definitely holding down the Vol Up, Pwr & Home buttons at the same time.

Or download goo manager and install TWRP recovery from there.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] OmRomRom:
I have a rooted bone stock UCALG1 ROM that you can flash in ODIN. Then download ROM manager like the other member said to flash CWR. If you want touch without paying for it through Play you have to use Terminal Emulator to push it. I can give instructions for that also if you need them. If you want the rooted UCALG1 zip let me know.

If ROM manager is giving that message either it asked for root and you accidentally clicked deny or it isn't rooted properly. That's the only time i've encountered that message myself.

And Triangle Away will reset that flash counter for you :P

*****UPDATED 11/30/12*****

tl;dr -- It was the best freaking decision I've ever made in my cellular life.

Things we miss:

- iMessage (Use something like Kik as an alternative)

- iLife and iWork for iOS (Various replacements. I started using ePrint by HP for my wireless printing needs. Works almost as well)

- Game Selection (I work on my phone, so playing games doesn't affect me much, but a lot of the core games are still there)

Things you gain from the switch:

- Bigger screen for easier reading.

- Battery life is omg good.

- The cameras are just as good in my opinion. Low light shots are grainy.

- S Pen is really useful for taking notes in a pinch. Pull it out, jot the note, put it back, note autosaves.

- Other S Pen functionality is really nice. Things like previews in the calendar, cutting out parts of the screen to save in notes, etc.

- Performance is bar none better 10-fold perceptively. I never have a moment of hesitation on my phone.

- Tops out at 128GB (Eat that 16GB iPhone 5)

- Size doesn't really hurt your pocket that badly. Bigger screen catches the bosses attention. I have had more than one comment at work about how I take my job seriously being ready for anything like that.

************************************************

I have an iPhone 5 presently and have been debating for several days now whether of not I want to get the Note 2. I have watched Phonedogs comparison and read article after article and it feels like the phones pretty well break even. So I thought I'd ask some former iPhone users about their experience with their switch.

I have Apple TVs and Airport Expresses all over the place. I stream things almost exclusively while I'm at home. I also mirror my phone to the TV at night laying in bed (doing that now typing this). That being said, I know android has apps that support airplay but not necessarily a screen mirroring solution short of VNC that would require a PC hooked up to my TV and a whole lot more of an inconvenience to get fired up.

I don't know what android has that is directly on par with iWork for iOS. I love typing up documents, syncing them to my phone with iCloud, and being able to edit and print them from my phone wireless on practically any and all wireless printers regardless of brand. iWork for iOS works completely and with a full feature set that I don't ever remember finding in Documents To Go. Has this improved at all?

Not knowing much about the Android ecosystem, what kind of apps are equivalent to iMovie? I use that quite a bit and am curious what android solutions match that in ease of use and functionality. I can't stress enough that when I ask these comparison questions, I'm not trying to prove one better. I'm actually wanting to make the switch. I'm just looking to be more informed about what I'm loosing and what I'm gaining before doing so.

What have you iPhone users missed about your iPhone since you made the switch?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] saffant:
I miss iTunes and some of the apps from the appstore. However, it all makes up it when I remind myself that "can't do no work on a 4" screen"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] CRSO:
I switched. No regrets
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] themyst:
In my opinion, the only thing missing on Android is the robust game/app selection and consistency in layout/design. I have an iPad 3 anyway, so I have the best of both worlds regardless. The iPhone in both 3.5" and 4" alike simply isn't useful for my needs anymore.

PS: I have a WDTV Live that will allow the equivalent of "Airplay" without any hassle through the Note 2. In terms of exclusive apps (e.g. Garageband, Numbers, Pages, iMovie, etc.) there is no equal. If you are heavily invested in the Apple ecosystem, it may be somewhat difficult to switch.

I know the Note 2 comes with Polaris Office included in the stock ROM. Probably won't touch the iWork suite in terms of interface and usability, but give it a try on a demo model and see if it may work for you.

I thought i was the only one who misses that little feature. Aside from that, I currently own both phones and theyre both fantastic but sadly I prefer my Gnote2 over my iph5. The big screen is a huge plus and the S-Pen is really neat. But I do like the apps more on the iphone.

All in all...it's going to depend on how deep your into Apple's pockets..Phone for phone...there really is no comparison on the differences...all one has to do is to hold each and use each.

What do I miss the most about my Iphone...simple...all the money I lost making the switch back to my Note II...from all of my expensive apps and extra Icloud storage I can no longer use...but...IMHO...it's worth it...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Johncrist1988:
I'm not so deep I can't get out. I can return the Airport and iPhone still and swap for the Gnote2. I need to google around more about DLNA devices because streaming is nice, and if there's a.... 'cleaner' product of method of doing it, it may be worth it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dmwitz:
This is available on the Note 2e

This can be done in 2 ways on the GN2. One wny is to switch on the feature in the settings under "Motion"/"Double Tap". Otherwise, assuming the long text is in a browser you can use Boat Browser (which is very customizable) and has this feature.

Regarding AirPlay and the other things mentioned in this thread, can you not simply keep you iphone as a Wifi only media player/streamer?

I use my old Galaxy SI as such with Spotify. Without a Sim card and a 3g data connection the battery can last almost three days also :D

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kevink15:
The question is per user. I prefer the non-locked down system of Android. Watch a lot of movies and the iPhone has to be jailbroken to do anything other then basic usage. XBMC on my Note2 + MHL adaptor and no rooting. I love the customization.

Another reason I switched was because of iTunes. What a mess. I have a lot of mixes for music and iTunes splits it up. I prefer just being able to dump on my sd card.

Only thing I miss is the gaming apps. But not that much that I would switch back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] yellowman82:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] skochw:
I've owned and used as my main device every iphone up to the iphone 5. I'm loving the Note 2, but there are a few things I miss:

- Overall simplicity. There was a lot of handholding in iOS that I didn't even necessarily realize was happening, which I miss. Biggest/most annoying example so far: sending videos via MMS or email. Unless you have the "limit size to MMS" or whatever checked when you record the video (which would mean a crappy source quality in the video, should you want to use it for anything other than an MMS), you can't MMS it to someone (and unless it's more than a few seconds long, it'll likely be too big to email as well). There are some apps out there for transcoding the video to a lower bitrate, resizing, etc, but this is a royal pain to have to do any time you want to send a quick video. iOS did it all automatically when you went to send the video.

- Better versions of apps. Some apps are just better/smoother on ios. Examples include facebook, Steam, The Weather Channel.

- Photo Stream. My wife is on an iPhone, and we have an old ipad that we use as a photo frame. I miss being able to easily have photos I take appear on both her phone and the iPad.

- iCloud. I miss stuff syncing with my mac desktop apps for things like notes, reminders, etc. I'm sure I could find something to get me by for the notes, and the others I mentioned would sync to a Google calendar, but still. I miss all that happening automatically.

Overall though, I'm very happy to have made the switch. There is no way I could go back to that tiny iPhone screen now. :)

Go back to iphone..obviously u dont know how to work ir own phone ....maybe u need it simplified from apple sgn2 is better in all aspects
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Johncrist1988:
Those are good points to know, thank you. Looking back I do remember video sending being a pain. I eventually ended up doing private Youtube uploads all the time and linking people to the videos. An extra step.

Not that I'm saying that's a deal breaker at all, but it's those little things. Does Android have a response to Photostream out of the box? If I recall, doesn't it automagically upload to Google+ or something of the sort?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] skochw:
Come on, if there's a way to do it and you know how, just tell the guy rather than being snarky for no good reason. This thread is obviously targeted towards people making the switch from iOS to Android, and there is a definite learning curve involved there.

It does upload to Google+, yes. I wound up turning that off, though, since I rarely use Google+. I did turn on automatic photo/video uploading for Dropbox, though, and I am absolutely loving that. I know there's photo/video upload in Dropbox for iOS, but this all happens via a service running in the background, so you don't have to have the actual Dropbox app open for it to happen.

Something else to note about the auto-upload for Dropbox (and Google+, for that matter): you can use that to share videos/images easily. Only issue is the person receiving it has to download/stream the full-res video or image, and you have to wait for it to upload before you can share itg. Still much easier than transcoding just to send a video, though. :)

Hey Coolio,

Why are you answering to my post then?

This is the type of things that make the developers not listen... and therefore, not develop and make something good, because people will actually eat anything they are fed.

Want to know what i miss? Being able to answer a call when in a call and not have both calls dropped... Or being able to do the simple things and the little things like actually calling with a certain degree of efficiency.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Warrior1975:
Coolio, I wasn't answering your post, however, I was pointing out how ridiculous it is. How can anyone say that the IPhone/IOs is more customizable than Android? If you want to bring valid points to the discussion please do. But customization being in the favor of Apple, is not one of them...

As far as your other points perhaps they are valid through your experience but I have no trouble switching calls. Placing phone calls is difficult for you on this phone?

Lastly, the irony...a fan of apple telling me ill "eat anything I'm fed"...really dude?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jstjacques:
I just switched from the iphone 4s to the Note II. The Note II beats iphone hands down in almost all areas, screen size, speed, customizability, I can even play PSX games on it!! The only thing I miss is the ability to see previews of exchange emails on the lock screen. I know there's a way with a few paid apps, but it's not as seamless as the iphone was in that regard. But, who needs to read work email when you can play playstation games on the phone!! :laugh:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sabre31:
I had every iphone since 3g and they are good phones for their time. Each iphone has been a rehash of the old with minor changes and apple trying to milk their user base. I got an iphone 5 and it is same as iphone 4 or 4s which was same as 3g or 3gs. The os is very stale and boring. Yeah cydia may have some customization and I tried a lot of those however end of day it was still same old os. Plus the constant cat and mouse game with apple and jail breakers got old fast. Having to wait 6 months or more for a jailbreak got old fast when android allows all these things out of the box. Freedom baby this is something apple does not get and more and more folks are leaving them for android. I got a note 2 and it kills iphone by miles and miles and no even with JB iphone is not even close to customization that android has out of the box.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] JoJo2211:
I miss:

1. Apple Care.. I miss that very much. Every time I got a scratch on my phone I send it back and get a new one.

2. Pandora One hack (Unlimited skips AND Downloading music) .. while this is not specific to iOS, it is only available on iOS, so I'll put it here.

3. Power button at the top. (I hate the location of the power button on Galaxys)

4. Cydia (Why isn't there a custom store like this for Android? I want to be able to download tweaks & stuff right from my phone instead of downloading then flashing a zip file manually from XDA.

Thats about it. Now that I think of reason number 1 above, isn't it just amazing that we are willing to shell out Big $ to get an international phone (I have the N7100) even though there is absolutely NO warranty from Samsung on it? I think this speaks volumes for how great Samsungs phones are that we are WILLING to take the risk. I would never buy an iPhone without apple care or the normal 1 year warranty, but I would buy a Samsung even without any kind of warranty.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] the1dynasty:
You can find Pandora modified apk that allows for unlimited skips and no advertisements... Don't expect it to be publicly posted on XDA as its against forum rules... I had an older version of it before the latest update... I started using spotify anyways for my music streaming... So I didn't bother to look for an updated Pandora with these mods...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] BlackPhantomX:
Sounds like a personal problem. I can answer a call while already on a call no problem. No drops, nothing. And "simple things and the little things"? That's a bit vague. "Calling with a certain degree of efficiency"? Again, sounds like a personal problem. I have had no problems with any of my calls in terms of efficiency and dropped calls. Even when some people say it takes a bit for their phone to dial, it takes me no more than 3 seconds at worst for mine to dial and the line start ringing.

You're starting to grasp at straws if you're going to start trying to nitpick little things or talking about problems that seem to be only happening to you and no one else, which, I would suggest going to AT&T and getting a replacement Note II...or switch to the iPhone since you seem to fanboy over them so much that you have to talk so poorly about the Note II in comparison.
