[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScottRTL:
Hey guys:

I have enabled the Navigation Bar on my Note II, but now there are a few issues and I was wondering if anyone knows how to resolve them.

Basically I have:

Recent Apps | Home | Back

When I rotate to landscape, the keys are really messed up (tiny and all crammed in)

Also, I am coming from a Galaxy Nexus, with AOKP so I am looking to edit the softkeys so that I have a persistent menu button and a back button in the other side, also a search button.

I have tried some editing of the. kl files in /system and editing the framewrok-Res.API and I either get keys that don't work, or a bootloop.

I am running an i317m, so am currently running Saurom. Does anyone have any insite on how to fix the navbar rotation issue/customize the keys?

Thanks

From Wikipedia:

The first SMS message was sent over the Vodafone GSM network in the United Kingdom on 3 December 1992, from Neil Papworth of Sema Group (now Mavenir Systems) using a personal computer to Richard Jarvis of Vodafone using an Orbitel 901 handset. The text of the message was "Merry Christmas."

Does anybody still send SMS in a regular basis?

I ask a question on your site several weeks ago about the default messaging app on Samsung Galaxy s2 aokp jelly bean. It seems that if someone sends me a picture with text the picture covers to text and I can't read it. I asked if there was any way to correct it and below is the answer I got. I am sorry to disagree with whoever posted this however that is not a simple fix. I have Google and look for how to decompile a app and I am unable to find a app to edit a apk file. I am NOT asking for a step by step but surely someone can recommend an app I can download that would allow me to open the MMS app and edit it. Once again this is not a simple fix perhaps it is for you but it is not for me thank you for your time

This is a simple issue that the user can fix. Just have to decompile the apk and adjust the spacing. A search would have saved you opening a new thread.

Thread closed.

Have searched your site perhaps I'm poor at searching. Is there an app you would suggest that I could download to my phone or Android tablet to edit apk file. Thanks so much

Thanks so much however after posting this I updated to the newest aokp and the issue is resolved. It does still have the sender's name overlapping the date but not the picture overlapping the message. Thanks so much and I will still try the suggested APK editor.

Go check out the Android development guide by Google, you can get several tools to decompile an apk. As well as .dex file
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] OneOfMany07:
I agree that response was pretty rude. I'm guessing they were trying to scare you away rather than giving advice on next steps. That if you don't know how to do what they said you'd leave it to those that do know how.

But on to your original question...

Wikipedia's location for APK format (can't post link as I'm too new) says that the file is just a ZIP file (or JAR file). So likely 7-zip or your favorite program that can open ZIP's/JAR's will work. You might have to rename the extension to .ZIP or .JAR for the program to recognize it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
Nobody was being rude. We told him to search and that there are plenty of resources already available to him. Nothing wrong with that. Good luck and happy flashing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] zelendel:
The post was mine and it was not rude in the least. The information for what you need to do is posted. Has been for a few years now. Ever since people started doing customs themes. You will not be able to do this without a computer. All you have to do is decompile the apk, find the XML that displays the mms message and adjust the spacing by a few pixels. And then recompile the apk. There are tut all over the place on how to do this

You may have to be creative in your searches to be lead where you need to go but that is part of the learning that android requires. Sometimes you need to think outside the box to get the outcome you desire.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] zelendel:
This only works for 35% of the apk as the XML files are encrypted until decompiled as are the .9 pngs

No offense taken as this is really my first smart phone as I don't count my few months with a tracfone s390g becaust it is so crippled.

I knew about airplane mode but did not know I could turn on wifi and bluetooth and it would leave the service off. I figured turning on wifi would turn off airplane mode.

Thanks that helps a lot. I knew about airplane mode but did not know I could turn on wifi and bluetooth and it would leave the service off. I figured turning on wifi would turn off airplane mode.

Just in case you wanted to do this the 'fun' way..

Open dialer and type *#*#4636#*#*

Scroll down and click Turn Radio Off

Of course, airplane mode works too, but who doesn't like a little back door action? (...that's what she said...) ;)

I think that turning on the airplane mode can use wifi and cant use bluetooth?

On my previous phone I had an app called "Any Cut" that made it easy to put a shortcut on the home screen to get to Phone Info without having to go through the dialer; among other things, I used it for exactly this purpose. I can't find it in the Play Store any more, though. Anybody know of a current app with similar capabilities?

Are people sure the OP isn't just talking about the email discussed here?

I know it would be more interesting if he actually got a suspicious email with some new or fake ICS build or a JB test build attached, but I suspect he may have just been referring to the email about the original ICS update that I, among several others, received some time ago, and he was not sure if it was a new update or something.

Prove me wrong, OP! But until then, I would not get too excited about this 'update'.

hboot downgrade

Well I've also read that I can downgrade my hboot to 1.4, but that I have to brick it to do that. In other forums people talk like downgrading to 1.4 is simple. When I got the 1.58 upgrade it updated all my radio filestoo.. So I'm wondering if those radioh files are stored on the same partition as hboot. If they are I know how to flash my hboot with fastboot flash command so that would be simple.. Any help, pointers or info:confused: would be greatly appreciated.
[HTC EVO 3D] frankk1979:

[HTC EVO 3D] beneath-a-burning-turtle:
Yes, since youre s-off, all you need to do is find a copy of the hboot ( pg86img.zip) and place it on your sdcard, and boot into the bootloader, the phone does everything else from there on its own

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amanmasgaman:
Hi,

I was quite happily running ICS4.0.4 (rooted) when I decided to try a different ROM (and/or JB - can't even remember any more).

After I did a wipe (I know, I know!!!) it got stuck on the boot logo screen.

I had the phone fixed by a 3rd-party repair shop, who installed ICS4.0.3 on it and, while at the shop, I used the phone a bit to make sure it was ok.

It kept crashing intermittently, so they had another go at it and now they tell me they could only install GB on it.

So, keeping in mind that the phone had the emmc bug and I tripped over it:

Is there anyway I can install ICS again on it?

I could use some of the tools floating around to detect damaged partition blocks and work around them.

What procedure should I use to go from a stock GB (non-root) to ICS?

Specifically,

- is there a safe way to root GB (given the emmc damage already), so that I can flash the other ROM/kernels (below)

- what kernel should I use

- what ROM should I use

I would greatly appreciate any help on this. I have been eating humble pie for a week now, so I hope there is no more 'why didn't you pay attention' coming my way :)

Cheers
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttibbetts83:
You could use hydracore kernel which works with all GB and ICS ROMs and JB none Tw ROMs I be leave you can flash with PC odin to gain root and is a safe kernel
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amanmasgaman:
Thanks ttibbetts83, I will try that and see how i go
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amanmasgaman:
Thanks Arobase40.

I'll get a strong coffee and read your reply from top to bottom and then plan my next move.

The repair was done by people unrelated to Samsung.

I currently have GB v2.3.5, (SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS) which works well, it would seem.

I'd love to get ICS back on it but need to gather info (such as that from yourself) before I do anything.

A bit more info on the state of the emmc storage: Using 'adb shell' and executing the command DD did in fact find bad blocks in partitions 9-11 (can't recall right now exactly which ones), so there are issues there.

The partition that is in place now, __appears__ to have successfully skipped those bad blocks.

And on something slightly tangential to the current topic, I know that doing a 'WIPE DATA' from the recovery menu zaps emmc, but does that also happen when you do a factory reset from within Android? From memory, when doing so, it seems to go into recovery mode and do it, so I'd expect that it'd also damage emmc.

Cheers

Unfortunately there are no high trees on XDA beause you should look for one before typing this utter personal nonsense that could brick anybody's Gnote.

Taking your own convictions for thruth is one thing, sending innocent ppl into the jungle is another...

What you are saying is: If there is a lightning storm, just go into an open field en enjoy. I cannot say it is 100% safe, but I never got struck....I think they removed the tree i used to seek shelter from the rain, but if you search real hard you might find it anyway.

---------- Post added at 10:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:17 AM ----------

Actually you should be happy that they revived your Note after brick even if it's only running GB for now.

However if you are a brave person you can do the same trick on ICS.

Just read and understand the thread that is a guide on doing so.

You can root your GB without a problem, but there is no obligation for it to install ICS with odin.

However what you do need is the following (besides a lot of patience and courage) :

1. get the ICS files you want to flash including the pit file.

2. get a program called PIT MAGIC to recreate a suitable pit file

3. determine where your bad blocks are located

4. Load the pit file into the magic program and alter the stock pit file

with the values needed to ommit your bad emmc area

5. save it and then flash your note in odin with your newly created pit file and repartition ticked.

Arobase we are not going to rediscuss this matter for another 556643 pages.

Just ask yourself : if there was no problem then why did samsung patch their JB kernels for it. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=34933643&postcount=683

Also nobody asks you to reconsider your own experience and beliefs, but the day someone follows your instructions and bricks his phone, are you going to pay for a new motherboard ?

I'll stop this discussion here, and just hope nobody will get struck under the tree.

Hello

My Galaxy Nexus's USB port seems to be broken, I have to wiggle to get it to load the battery or connect to a PC. I'm planning on sending it in.

But before sending it in, I want to do a full backup (NANDroid backup is what I want, right?). So I wiggled and connected my phone to my PC (Gnex Toolkit and drivers installed), and tried to back it up.

Now: whenever the toolkit needs to use fastboot mode it displays < waiting for device >. My phone however displays:

etc.
