You guys are awesome.... Just rooted my GN2 in fifteen minutes start to finish. Currently walking through set up and shortly swapping SIM cards from my S3 to make it my daily driver. Waiting on Titanium Backup to make a full backup and then the freezing begins. Simply amazing you guys

I've seen earlier reports about lag upon waking up or unlocking. Are any you guys still having this issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kimdoocheol:
Yeah, there is about a 1 second lag to open up the screen. Doesn't bother me at all. Hit the side button and watch how slowly the phone opens up. Runs faster if you disable things like pop-up, effects,e tc.

Correct. Just make sure auto-reboot is unchecked and the tar.md5 is in PDA, connect phone in Odin and flash (10 minutes or so).

I used the 4.2 camera apk, installed it OK, everything works except sphere.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gr8fasushi:
I had similar issues rooting where it kept failing. I'm running windows 8 and thought that was the culprit. I had to run Odin as Administrator and in compatibility mode to windows 7. On top of that - I used a different USB slot. That was probably the primary issue to begin with. For some reason it didn't like the USB slot I was using. It showed me the com port but didn't flash and just sat there forever. Definitely try a different USB slot

Hi eveyone, comeplete noob here. Used to own the original moto droid running bugless beast and all that good stuff, been a jailbroken iphone user for longer NOW im back on the android game. I followed all the instructions up until step 7, I unplugged the device and pulled the battery and couldnt get into the green android screen, rather got back into odin mode (Skipped step 9+10). Restarted the phone with no problems. App list shows SuperSu. Did I "F" this up? Or was my root successful? THX in advanced

I am new to Samsung phones. Why does it take ~1Gb to root this OS? Are you completely replacing the stock ROM with a rooted one?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tnngng:
That same 4.2 camera apk (exact same file) worked flawlessly on my SGS3 on Beanstown B5 ROM. Sphere, Panorama, Gallery, Photo Gallery widget. video, single shot etc....all with no issues.

I have both files apk and zip. but on this NoteII we need custom recovery to flash zips
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JonMS:
You can manually install the zip. Would you mind linking me?

---------- Post added at 05:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:39 PM ----------

If you actually read the thread you'd realize that yes, this replaces your stock system with a stock ROOTED one while retaining your data

Not all Samsung phones are rooted the same way. But in This case yes, you are replacing stock room with a rooted one

What folders
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TheDroidLurker:
You wouldn't mind tossing out a step by step out for us dummies, would you?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] buhohitr:
Unzip the zip file to your desktop, you should see a folder called system. Open up the system folder you should see 2 sub folders called app and lib.

1 Open up the "app" folder and copy the 2 files: GalleryGoogle.apk and GmsCore.apk to app folder on your phone /system/app

2. Open up the "lib" folder and copy the 3 files: libjni_filtershow_filters.so, libjni_mosaic.so, liblightcycle.so to the lib folder on your phone /system/lib.

3. Reboot your phone and profit!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JonMS:
Extract system folder from zip.

Put files in thier respective folders using a root file manager.

Fix the permissions to to match the other files in the folders

Reboot

YOU DO NOT NEED TO REMOVE THE STOCK CAMERA/GALLERY
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] noobified:
Yup! 4.2 Camera all works!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tnngng:
here goes: use root explorer to extract the zip file. (select extract all) click go to extracted.

Go to speedsoftware folder in SDcard0 open the extracted, open 4.2camera_t04,open system, open app

Copy and paste the 2 apk files into system/app - fix permission to those 2 files

Go back to speedsoftware/extracted/4.2camera_t04, open lib

copy all those 3 lib files and paste them in system/lib Fix permissions those 3 files too

Reboot.

I did everything as directed. I get the 2nd camera icon in the app drawer. When I open it, everything appears to be fine until I try to take a regular picture. It looks likes it's trying to focus...lags terribly, then I get blank gray boxes where there should be pictures. This is followed up by the error: "Unfortunately, Gallery has stopped."

Interestingly enough, I can take photoshpere pics and view them with no problems at all!

Any advice??

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Taxmaster:
I'm in trouble, help!!!

Hello All,

I followed the rooting method in this thread and am successfully rooted, but now I can't install anything because I keep getting an out of space / insufficient storage error! I have spent literally 5 hours reading ways to fix it but unfortunately all of them involve installing an app like Titanium Backup, Data Explorer, Cache Clearer, etc.

I don't know what to do! A lot of people say to look for the .odex file in data/app but I don't have such a directory! There is no /app directory!

Please help at your earliest convenience, as I'm scared I might have bricked my phone.

Thank you !

EDIT: Titanium Backup is installed but I don't know how to use it to fix this. It isn't the pro version (I tried buying it, wouldn't install).

EDIT 2: DISREGARD, I figured it out. It was all due to Link2SD. Be careful with that app folks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wyatt57350:
I followed the instructions and appear to have everything working including photosphere (more testing to be done as I tested it in a small space and it did not do a good job of making it seemless). regular pictures with flash works too.

Edit: I may have spoken too soon about camera working with flash. It works with flash when my subject is near by (couple of inches to a foot and a half). Beyond that it locks up and crashes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dcdgoth:
so there is no way that anyone can unlock the bootloader? is it that hard to do?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] zombieplanalpha:
Lmao welcome to verizon samsung devices... There is plenty of info on just how "hard" that is. The devs are working on it but the only reason the last one (S3) was unlocked was because there was a leaked unsecure bootloader from Samsung. Search around the verizon S3 forum for the locked bootloader to get a good idea of how hard it is. And the Note 2 looks tougher than the S3. That being said Adamoutler got his today and he is working on a hardware based way to hack in. Cross your fingers

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dcdgoth:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] P2o8wer:
Lmao..thanks bro..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nosit1:
AdamOutler had the device apart in no time. He got access to UART and was able to get into SBOOT to run commands. Upon further inspection of the emmc chip, it looks like it's closed off (he thought it may be an unbrickable mod). All further to change, of course, but he called it quits since he got UART working at least.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
it wont be done with software... hopefully a insecure sboot.img is leaked like on the s3. however adam outler was successful in the past with hacking sboot at the hardware level on prioir exynos quad devices. so no we cant unlock yet, but have patience, look how fast we got root!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kevro_86:
After further testing, indeed I am only having the problem when the flash is on. Reboot & Dalvik cache clean doesn't help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xXJay_RXx:
By hardware, you mean we'd have to open our phones to unlock the boot loader if he comes up with a hardware way? I think I'd be a bit chicken for that lol when I bought a Rezound, I made sure it was boot loader unlocked cuz I seen that to unlock the boot loader you needed like a piece of wire n I don't have that much confidence in myself to do it lol :(
