[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kellicros:
Instead of having the screenshot editor app to edit a screenshot, i would like to edit a photo directly, is this possible?

For example, after taking a photo, i would like to take draw on it directly, instead of having to use SPen's button + press hold to screenshot and draw.

Any way to put the editor app into the photo's "Edit" shortcut? If this is not possible, any recommendation for a similar app? I just need a simple app to draw notes on some of my photos and save into a specific folder, any help would be grateful. Thanks in advance.

I tried the method but it seems that my device does not have the option for photo editor. Instead, it just popped up two options : adobe photoshop and sketch editor. I just wanted the very basic editing tools available after the screenshot. My device is galaxy note 10.1
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
I think its been removed from stock ROM , anyway here it is. i a also using it and i have ported from previous device

simply install and you will have option of photo editor in menu-edit

I dont know if this has already been posted, but I could not find anything that enabled multi-user support directly.

It is fairly simple to add multi-user support to your Android 4.2 rom using the device overlay.

To enable multi-user support you will have to add the following to your config.xml:

<integer name="config_multiuserMaximumUsers">8</integer>

This will enable the Users section in Settings to add/remove new users.

Additionally you will have to modify layout-port/keyguard_host_view.xml, because the layout-port version of keyguard_host_view.xml does not have the multi-user selector.

You will need to add the following to the layout:

<include layout="@layout/keyguard_multi_user_selector"/>

Instead of modifying the layout xml directly you can also just add a modified version of the .xml to your device overlay.

That will add the user selector to the keyguard/lockscreen.

The changes can be found here:

https://github.com/adrian-bl-hox-jb...mmit/ba74d22a7e88f73c0c639ed23aac8617cc9abc9f

In case there is just one user it will not show the user selector in the keyguard/lockscreen.

Known issues:

* The dialer only works in the main user and and trying to dial in any other user will result in a crash, because the dialer does not support multi-user yet.

Cool, thanks for sharing! (Although, I think having more users on an android device is kinda useless, but very nice that its possible)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lokeshsaini94:
This can be usefull when you have others Using your phone then you can set password for main acc and when others ask your phone they can open guest account or other...

this will get better...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rogro82:
I used to agree about it being useless for phones, but I also share a family gmail account and I like having that completely seperated from my own user so that I don't have calendars etc mixed in one user.

And in case you only have one user everything is the same as without the multiple user ability so it kinda made sense just adding it and let the user decide.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] runandhide05:
would someone do me a favor and attempt to make a phone call in a user profile that is not the main user, i added this in and i get fc when i attempt to make a call. just wondering what others are experiencing

Edit

So.I've had a few devs including myself add this to a quick build. All of us of different sources have the same issue and I would highly recommend not adding it because if someone had to dial out the phone FC when u press call

So imagine having to call 911. And you can't until your switch users... Probably not a good idea.

Its a great find. But that could cause some real problems
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rogro82:
We have implemented this change in our AOSP build on the HTC One X without any issues.

If you could get me a logcat of the crash I can take a look, but I cant think it has to do with multi-user support as it is already baked into JB yet only 1 user is enabled by default.

Are you sure you have only added:

<integer name="config_multiuserMaximumUsers">8</integer>

to your config.xml and did not add anything else?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] runandhide05:
Correct. And that was the only thing I changed. Keep in mind yes its built into aosp but only for phones. No log cat cause as soon as I ran into that problem I didn't bother to continue and just abandoned the changes. I did add the changes to aosp as well as a custom source and both had the same result as did a few other devs I had try it.

No worry's tho.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rogro82:
K if you ever decide to give it another try and run into the same issue just post a logcat and ill be happy to look into it... as said we have this change applied in our aosp build and have no issues with calling or any other crash related to multi-user support
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] runandhide05:
OK I probably still have the zip laying around, I may through it on to.pull a log.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rogro82:
nvm i now know what you mean... trying to call with a user other then the device owner FCs... Ill see if that can be fixed

Just looking at Phone package source:

* Returns the singleton instance of the PhoneApp if running as the

* primary user, otherwise null.

So then it crashes because it has no PhoneGlobals for the non-primary user.

Most probably the Phone app does not support multi-users because it would register the broadcast receiver for handling calls multiple times... If this can be fixed easily I cant answer immediatly
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] runandhide05:
That's what I was talking about. You only have that problem on none main user and only when u make a call. Ie dial number and press call button.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rogro82:
Indeed... The phone app does check if its running on the first user:

if (UserHandle.myUserId() == 0) {
// We are running as the primary user, so should bring up the
// global phone state.
mPhoneGlobals = new PhoneGlobals(this);
mPhoneGlobals.onCreate();
}

But instead of throwing a nice message when opening the dialer it crashes when making a call...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rogro82:
If I have some time left Ill see if its possible to add multi-user support to the Phone package
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mick3444:
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but could someone point me in the right direction as to where the config.xml file is?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ffejeroni:
^^

Would like to know this as well. I have a 2 year old that would greatly benefit from this. If she can do nothing other than use the apps I install, this would be awesome.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rogro82:
config.xml is not something you can edit on your phone.

Its an overlay file that has to be edited when building a custom android 4.2 rom.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Edge-Case:
Is it possible that this bit of code in system/core/include/private/android_filesystem_config.h might have something to do with it....?

#define android_id_count \
(sizeof(android_ids) / sizeof(android_ids[0])) ###EDIT: oops, I had it changed to 10 to see what would happen.

struct fs_path_config {
unsigned mode;
unsigned uid;
unsigned gid;
const char *prefix;

Edit: Now that I am looking at it, it may just be the creation of an empy array that will get populated later, I may be wrong though, I am just learning C, kinda becoming a Jack-of-all-Trades-Master-of-Puppets.

it also states this closer to the top...

/* This is the master Users and Groups config for the platform.
** DO NOT EVER RENUMBER.
*/

#define AID_ROOT 0 /* traditional unix root user */

#define AID_SYSTEM 1000 /* system server */

I believe these setting get baked into the ramdisk during a build, a few lines here also cause new unkown files and folders to be created as 0644 root root I believe and results in them not being executable.

I think I am going to have to edit this file quite a bit, I am trying to get glibc based services to start, some do like apache2 and rpcbind, the nfs-common is giving me trouble as well as postgresql, pgsql complains about not being able to open a listening socket, permission denied, so I added a postgres user to this file and some folder and file permissions for it,

# ./postgresql start -p 5432
# ./postgresql status
Running clusters:

#pg_lsclusters
Version Cluster Port Status Owner Data directory Log file

Shall the new role be allowed to create databases? (y/n) n
Shall the new role be allowed to create more new roles? (y/n) n
createuser: could not connect to database postgres: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
Is the server running locally and accepting

createdb: could not connect to database postgres: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
Is the server running locally and accepting
connections on Unix domain socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432"?

Been trying for a while to get this to work but I think I need to create a bridge for Androids User, UID, GID , stuff with Debian's whole /etc/passwd /etc/shadow scheme, one that allows both lists to become synchronized adding to eachother what was missing and preventing user creating with identical uid's. I wonder what init's uid is, cuz I think daemon's is set to 1 in /etc/passwd . Not sure.

It would be greate if we had user authentication to use commands like su or even port over sudo for one shot su service of a command like 'cp'.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dasunnavoda:
Hi all,

I was used my phone since last april with multiple carriers.Last sunday i have updated my phone in to Official leaked JB. Since that update my phone locked and does not acceppt any of sim. I tried every method except GalaxySim. I know it wil be good solution, but i don't have electronic payment method. So i cant buy apps from Google Pay. I have my efs folder and i tried extract hashes and decrypt using Odiya's method, but it's not worked.

I tried different firmwares. Now i have backed to official ICS for my country(Sri Lanka). But phone is still network locked. I bought this phone from a seller and he told me he imported it from South Africa.

Please, if any of you can help me get my phone live again. I have nv_data.bin and can provide it anyone willing to help me. Thank you....

@OP : i feel sorry mate. I sympathize with you mate.. :(
[Galaxy Note II General] Dmwitz:
My sympathies mate. I did the same with mine. Ten days. You may want to talk to Samsung Services. I got my glass replaced for just over $100 (US), including shipping. It would normally have cost more than $300. They had an offer on the SIII, SIII and the old note. Somehow i managed to convince them.

Good luck
[Galaxy Note II General] DanDroidian:
Ouch, that picture makes me want to cry!

sorry. a beautiful jewel like this... reveals how drop test on youtube are even more irrelevant. its a matter of luckiness to me. mine fell from 73cm of the floor and nothing. had a silicon case when it fell it was like bouncing because I think it hit the floor vertically first.

next time get a flipcover i dont know if it protects screen when dropping or some kind of front protection. thats what i'd do.
[Galaxy Note II General] TerrAme0:
I feel for you mate. Really do. Same happened with my galaxy s3, that made me move to the note 2.

I found a guy, who repaired the broken glass (i bought a new front glass, he peeled off the old broken one and replaced it with the new) and the phone looked OK, and worked fine, but it had touchscreen issues, missed inputs and it never was the same again. I put up with it for 2 months but I eventually had to change.

I hope you will have luck with samsung. They will make a full repair hopefully...

Gorilla Glass had some explaining to do.

That's pathetic. Make the screens out of plastic if that's the result of using glass.

I can't tell you how many iPhone's I've seen with smashed screens from a single drop. But at least Apple replaces their devices...
[Galaxy Note II General] B3311:
My condolences. I've been very vocal before about the SGS3's glass. but my drop on Friday ended up looking like yours. In fact, I'm getting very mild but not unpleasant electrical shocks as I write this...

Note II tomorrow. In spite of almost acromegalic hands, I just might buy a case. Will definitely be buying insurance.

We live and learn. Sometimes.....
[Galaxy Note II General] Tomo1971:
Apple only replace for no cost if it's a manufacturing fault not an accident.

If it's an accident then yes they do replace but is with a refurbished phone.

Or if you pay a fee they replace but again with a refurbished one

Sent from my Samsung Note II.
[Galaxy Note II General] JustArchiee:
This would happen with any phone. You dropped it on the corner and thats the weakest point due to it being the smallest are to spread the impact. Gorilla glass is scratch proof, not .... well ... this proof. Anyway try ringing Samsung and ask if there are any repair centres in your area. They can normally do it with-in a few days ( my Galaxy Nexus was done over night) just depends how fast they can get a screen.

I do feel for you :/
[Galaxy Note II General] EP2008:
FYI. I got an ipad 2 replaced because of a dent which affected the volume button. I dropped it. The ipad 2 was free and I didn't have a receipt because of that. A Day or two after visiting the Apple store, I received a new one.

My brother also had his smashed iPhone replaced at no charge.

Now, depending on who you get at the genius bar, they may talk you into getting the Apple care plan before replacing your device. Sometimes they don't.

Apple covers accidental damage (twice) with their plus plan, which is$100, and it looks like now they charge $50 service fee. Well worth it for 2 years of assurance.

[HTC One X] uswe:
This morning when driving to work Waze suddenly didn't want to be in landscape mode and despite several restarts the problem persisted. No other app's worked in landscape either. I've encountered this before and solved it by removing and reinstalling Waze but this time it didn't help. Calibrating the G-Sensor ended with "Calibration aborted".

I then decided to factor reset the phone and basically rebuild it (not from backup but the tedious manual way) but to my despair the same issue remain! The phone is "stuck" in portrait mode (yes, auto-rotate is enabled). When I calibrate the G-Sensor it appears to work and it tells me it's calibrated but it's not.

Anyone has an idea, or is this H/W related and I need to see the doctor?

btw.. I of course had an important text-message which I forgot when I reseted the phone. Somewhere in the Settings I remember reading about backup - anyone know how to restore from that built in Google/Android backup service?

Finally got myself a bluetooth earpiece that is somewhat comfortable and have discovered that S Voice will not complete a hands free voice dial. I then disabled S Voice and tried using Google Now via Blue Launcher, but that is very unreliable. Vlingo Beta and Speaktoit don't like running behind the swipe lockscreen.

Here is what I want, in order of importance:

Pressing the call button on bluetooth must provide an audible prompt and then complete a voice dial without requiring any touching of the handset (including unlocking).

Audio confirmation of command before performing it.

Searches Nickname in addition to Name in contacts.

Can activate more sophisticated apps like S Voice, Google Now, Speaktoit, etc

Any ideas?
