Boat Browser is the only one that I know of that will support Flash Player in Jelly Bean. I still use Dolphin HD for other stuff, because I like the left side swipe to access bookmarks, but I use Boat Browser if I need theFlash functionality.

I was not happy when Dolphin pulled the option to enable Flash. We should be able to make that choice.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] -BoneZ-:
Boat browser and Dolphin browser both have a setting to put your browser in desktop mode permanently. These are also the best two browsers for Android in the order that I've listed them, with Boat browser being #1 because it's slightly less resource-hungry, and a little faster than Dolphin.

As far as Adobe Flash, it works mostly fine in Boat browser. Dolphin has stopped support for Flash, so you have to use an older version of Dolphin. You can download all versions of Flash, including the latest version of Dolphin that supported Flash at the link below:

Considering the similarities between the domestic variants of the Note 2 and their international counterparts, would anyone be willing to test some of the success that the folks over in the AT&T forum have had with porting the international N7100/N7105 firmware/ROM's over to the Verizon Note 2

Check out these two threads over in the AT&T forum and see what you all think:

The basic gist of the procedure is to use a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP to flash a stock N7100/N7105 firmware, and then flash your carrier specific modem/kernel.

Why would anyone want to do this? Well, for starters, you would benefit from built-in stock-supported tethering, and a few other features that carriers disable (YMMV). But mainly this means that the domestic versions of the Note 2 can benefit from the development of the international versions! So, when the latest version of Android comes out for the rest of the world, we aren't stuck here waiting for our carrier to catch up to everyone else...

So what do you all think? Anyone willing to try?

Which NFC tags are you guys using me and my brother are wanting to buy a pack of them. I mean the Xperia Tags, the LG Smart tags and the Samsung Tectiles are the ones we will split the cost for.

I plan on having one in my car for Music or Google Maps to launch and one by my bed for the alarm to turn on.

So what do you guys think is better or are using from the Sony LG and Samsung NFC tags.......?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ascsa:
Be aware that the nexus 4 (and 10) has a different NFC (Broadcom BCM20793 NFC) controller. The vast majority (all?) of previous android nfc devices has a NXP controller ...and Mifare Classic tags uses proprietary protocols developed by NXP ....so, they are not compatible with the nexus 4 / 10 ...

--> the samsung tectiles are mifare classic tags, so I wouldn´t recommend them for a nexus 4 or nexus 10!

--> sony smarttags (mifare ultralight) should be compatible, but are quite small ...

--> LG, don´t know which technology they use ...

Bottom line: try to get NFC Forum Type 1, Type 2, Type 3 or Type 4 compliant tags and stay away from mifare classic tags with your nexus 4 ...

I couldn´t give you a more detailed advice, which tags to buy, because i prefere to re-use write protected nfc tags, like my	library card :cool:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] TheSoupNazi:
I bought these ones from eBay and they work very well for me. Got a couple around the house and in my car.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] ascsa:
Yes, you can use the ID for some apps (like nfc retag ;) ) , but you can not read or write MIFARE Classic 1k tags... At least theoretically and with my testing Nexus 4 device on 4.2....
[Nexus 4 Accessories] intern:
The only thing that can be read from Mifare tags is the UID, and that can be used to trigger actions using an app like NFC Task Launcher, but you can't actually read or write any data to the tag.

You can test this out with a tag and the app NFC Smart Q, or by trying to write a tag with a Nexus 4 and read it with a GNex or other NFC device. I've tested this pretty thoroughly.

Basically, if a tag is Mifare compatible or a Mifare tag, it'll kinda work, but not properly with a N4.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] joao22:
Without special needs (outdoor, metal) NTAG type will be best choice for most. Newest type with highest ScanStrength.

With the Xperia smartTag app, you can use the tags on a very differente way. It doesn’t write anything to the tag, it just associates a set of commands with the found ID/URL. May be interesting for some.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] xameius:
I bought a kit of them from tagstand.com back when I purchased my Galaxy Nexus and have a few left over. I just tried them out with my Nexus 4 and they seem to work, though I've only tried the ones with their old logo on it, I believe they are all Type 2 though and should work fine.

Ended up with 5 standard (23 message bytes) and 5 plus (250 message bytes) NFC chips, that are about the size of a US quarter.

The standard ones are quite slow (have to hold the phone over the chip while it takes a few seconds to read it), while the plus ones are quite a bit faster.

I got a dozen tags from Tag Age (http://www.tagage.net/) roughly 2 years ago and they have worked great with my NS, using NFC Task Launcher (prob an older version. got it way back when the dev was first working on it on XDA).

I get the most use from a bedside tag for clock/sleep (until I got the official NS dock) and a tag on my universal car dock for Bluetooth and car mode.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] cchap07:
Thank you that actually was informative. Not I just need to come up with some uses.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] andy o:
Can you program to those? According to another seller, they don't work with the Nexus 4. The model seems to be one letter off (1108 vs 11R08), but that may be a typo. Also, that seller says these are Mifare classic, but in this page it's implied that the S50 is something else and that it is compatible with the Nexus 4 and 10.

Just double checking cause I'm getting some.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] TheSoupNazi:
What do you mean by "program" to those? Sorry, but I'm still very new to android and NFC (came from iPhone). I've been using NFC Task Launcher and its been doing all those toggles with no problems. Let me know what you mean and if there are apps, I'll give it a try and let you know.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] andy o:
Basically, there are two ways to use these tags. The "incompatible" ones that were being talked about before, are ones which technically don't work with the Nexus 4 and 10, and which are based on the NXP Mifare Classic (read the article I linked above for more info). With these, for instance if they have some info that most other phones will recognize, like an URL or something else, the N4 and N10 will not read it, and also, they can't program their own information onto these chips.

There is sort of a workaround that will make these chips "work", which is that the ID can still be read. Your phone's app (NFC ReTag does it, probably NFC Launcher does too) can read this code and interpret it like you tell it. It "works" on your particular phone, but it won't work on other phones. But the main way to use the tags is to program them yourself so the information inside can be read in the same way by all compatible devices.

It's worth mentioning though, that apparently the Mifare chips are the ones that don't conform with the standards of the NFC Forum. The N4 and N10 do, and will work with any chips that also are compliant.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] txnr70:
He means using an app such as Tagstand Writer, see if you can write a contact (for example) to a tag.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] TheSoupNazi:
Okay so that doesn't work. Tried it, it says "error, tag is not NDEF" Guess it's not fully compatible

IIRC, incompatibility with some older NFC tags is one of the issues addressed in 4.2.1. These may be the ones you're getting conflicting information on.

Once you go to that link, go to page 24 or 25 because you need to download 3 zip files in order for the rom to function correctly, also make sure to download the modem or radio because you need to flash that as well. Before you flash anything make sure to go to the OP for that rom and follow instructions thoroughly. If you're concerned for the S Pen functionality, don't worry, it works, I just had to download an app from the play store called Memo (which doest the same stuff as S Note.

Disclaimer:

I have to admit, I've flashed 4 different ROM's so far, and only two of them have completed the install. The rest have failed during the update, or caused a boot cycle. This includes the Jedi Master ROM. So it's entirely possible I'm doing something wrong.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] DeLaguna:
Did You?

Hey did you ever try a complete wipe using TWRP as your recovery factory wiping then system wiping as well, I Also found depending on your SD card if you can back up your Sd cards Sometimes it is helpful to start with just the files you need to flash on the sd. Make sure that you only flash the correct radio. For me that was the latest radio I think its the second down in the list for the jedi kitchen part.
