edit - ive checked here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1923016

and everything was just like in my HOX, so its not a fake..

any idea what else may be the problem?

how can i know if im on stock rom or not?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Go to settings - scroll down to the bottom and tick info - software info .... 9 out of 10 custom roms have their name somewhere
[HTC One X] tomascus:
Not proven to be a fake phone, everyone with genuine phones still have that HTC Extension version, lol :/
[HTC One X] Vcek:
You are probably using a phone with test(or custom) software on it.

To Check your version:

Go to Settings > About > software information > Then you can see the "Software Number" > More > "Build Number"

Hello guys,

Recently I bought JVC Xplosives headset, and since then I'm using it. I realized that long pressing the headset button does not work to go to next song of the playlist, and double tapping the button calls the last person I called. I didn't find a way to make it stop.

I searched this forum and found some people that had the same problem, but no solution was found until then.

What about now? Is there any solution on the horizon?

It's pretty ridiculous to have to take out the HOX from the pocket to go to next song...
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
clickety click
[HTC One X] paulinodf:
It didn't work for me. The button of the headset only work to turn off the music or to call the last contact I called.

Anyone else?
[HTC One X] josepinto:
I have the same problem! This is really annoying me, because I go by bicycle to work every day and now I can't change music because of this.

I have a non rooted HOX, and didn't want to root it..
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
I suggest you to try out other headset button controlling apps from store.

Or it might be so that your headset doesn't support other functions.
[HTC One X] paulinodf:
That really sucks. I'll try out other controllers from market. If I have any lucky I'll post here.
[HTC One X] josepinto:
I've tried many controllers from the market and couldn't find any that worked... The only solution that I found was to use the Volume rocker to change music using "Tactile Player", but it's not the same. I hope HTC corrects this because it's really annoying. I don't want to root my phone before the warranty ends... So for now this is the only solution I found.

If I find another way I will post it.
[HTC One X] paulinodf:
Tried many controllers too, none worket. I'm rooted and even thou couldn't find a way to fix this.
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
Try this. [root]

Use the KeynrTracker to find out which numbers the headset buttons use and then remap the corresponding keys in the remapper app.
[HTC One X] paulinodf:
Thanks. I tried, but the number headset uses (226) is not listed on remap! What do I do now?
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
Check /system/usr/keylayout/. Do you have a file called qwerty.kl there?

I dont work full time here @ xda so stop PM:ing me.
[HTC One X] paulinodf:
Yes, I have qwerty.kl. What now?

Sorry for PMing; just got excited for the possibility to have my problem solved.
[HTC One X] paulinodf:
I opened this file as a text and didn't find 226 on the list.
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
I have no idea if this will work, but try adding the following line:

key 226 MEDIA_NEXT

(note three spaces in between)

Then save file and reboot.

Does anyone have any idea how to fix apps that look like this?

I used rom toolbox to edit buildprop dpi and it worked flawlessly on stock lk8.

Also wanted to just inform that my battery life is ridiculous after editing cpu adjustments in rom toolbox as well. If anyone wants my settings used for cpu in rom toolbox just ask.

I attached an image of what the camera app is doing as well as my battery life so far.

+edit+ so after work I was able to evaluate which apps don't show correctly and here's what ive found so far....phone and camera display are a little off but theyre both completely viewable ++

Just got the phone this week and have babied it to prevent any scratches. Low and behold just looked and I have 3 different scratches already. The screen seems ridiculously weak considering I keep it very protected and was waiting till I get my screen protector in the mail today.

How are your screens holding up?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] LiTDiE:
I check for dead pixels and scratches out of the box, then screen protector instantly.

The protectors from verizon mar easily with the spen, but I would rather it be on the protector then my screen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dmwitz:
I noticed three very short (3mm) scratches after a month and bought a copter screen protector. I threw that away after 2 days as it got marked by the pen and made small text impossible to read. I now have a cheap hard plastic screen protector that works well and does not affect the resolution.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
No scratches here...been using it for 3 weeks with no screen protector. Never had a scratch on my gs3 either and I used it for 5mo without a sp.

Ditto. No scratches, no case, no protector.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] marcmy:
No scratches or screen protector here either, and I just keep it in my pocket (with nothing else in the same pocket) when I'm traveling.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thejron:
Hate screen protectors. I have a few tiny scratches but when the phone is in use you can't tell.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RaptorMD:
My screen is as clean as the day I got it. Of course I am unwilling to go without a screen protector on it for feel of getting a scratch regardless of ho good Gorilla Glass 2 is. SGP Steinheil screen protectors.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] raverk:
I got a tiny scratch after two days. I'm pretty OCD about scratches. Even though I can't see them when the screen is on, just knowing they are there annoys me. I was able to find a decent screen protector that doesn't effect resolution and actually filed in the scratch so I can't see it any more. My previous 2 phone never had screen protectors and I never got scratches. I know the Note 2 has a much larger target area, but I'm still surprised at how easily the screen got scratched. I'm not a huge fan of screen protector, but hey, it keeps my brain from hurting so much.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleevasteve:
Which SGP protector did you get? Ultra Optics was to rough feeling for me and didn't with well with the S Pen. The Ultra Crystal feels and looks great, but scratches way too easy, especially from the S Pen. Trying to find a happy medium.

I just got the Verizon case with a kickstand and the next day while on the phone, it fell from my ear, hit the inner wheel well of my car then bounce off the ground about 3 times before sliding to a stop while the screen was down. Not a scratch except on the case itself.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] johnchad14:
I use the sgp crystal and not having trouble with pen scratching it. I do use a fairly light touch though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Haydenpup:
MobC Protector

I went for a screen protector too since I scratched the Thunderbolt just before getting the Note 2.

I'm using the MobC Oleophobic protector from Amazon. I had a finger print proof screen protector on the TB (before I took it off and scratched the screen), but it was very matte finish. The MobC is clear while being oleophobic, so I like it.

The S-pen leaves marks right away when using is, but they fade pretty quickly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] trapperjohn:
Hi,

Like the Idea it fills in scratches.

Which protector did you get.

Thanks,

I use their Crystal Clear ones, Blue Package. I order from Amazon.com $15.99
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flaring afro:
No screen protector, no scratches.

How would a screen protector affect resolution? That doesn't make sense.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] justin94:
The best example would be verizons anti glare screen protector. It makes the screen look grainy
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Hawksfan88:
Flawless

Man do i love using the spen in the swift key beta keyboard its so accurate no matter how bad you mess it up but my screen looks great after a month of owning it and using the s pen about 7-10 times a day txting if not more and no noticeable scratches at all i have no case or screen protector
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleevasteve:
So I figured out my issue with the ultra crystal...I still had that little temporary protective layer on the screen protector itself! Derp! Works perfectly now! Any scratches or marks from the S-Pen wipe right off!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DataWave47:
For those with the ultra crystal sp....does the S-Pen make any noise when you write? I watched a video of the S-Pen on the Optics SP (i think it was optics) and it made a very annoying noise.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bendystrawboy:
why are so many people mentioning the s pen "scratching" the screen, how would thaT even be possible.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrynalyne:
I think it is the s-pen scratching the screen protectors, which is possible.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shellie03:
great phone

LOL Don't get me wrong. I love this phone! But you can put it in your pocket? And it fits? :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrynalyne:
It fits in adult pockets. ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] zZDave_Stud:
This may be out of place but I prefer having the flip cover over a screen protector. I can still easily write with the S-Pen and my screen is well protected. Just my 2 cents.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dalrym05:
I see these threads pop up for every single phone I have ever had and just do not understand how people get scratches in them. I can't stand screen protecto. They distort image in some way no matter what weather it's true clarity or it makes the color look washed out. Blacks looks silverish and fingers don't slide well on them. But I have never scratched a screen without one either. I have broken screens but never scratched one. I just don't understand. My phone goes in my pocket with keys screwdriver bits a razor blade and pretty much anything else that is convieniant while I'm at work. Yet still no screen scratches. Not even a scuff.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ImagePree:
I've never used a screen protector either but got a scratch on my note2 within a week. My old dx didn't get scratched up until well into the 2nd year of ownership.

In either case, I use the cleartouch from boxwave and it's literally crystal clear without any distortion or loss of color. I was skeptical as well but it hid the scratch and s-pen doesn't scratch it either.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] th0r615:
You must be special then. Every phone I've had that didn't have a screen protector on it got a scratch sooner or later. Small ones, some even so small you can only see when the screen is off, but I've always had 1 or 2 scratches. And I'm very conscious about which pocket I'm putting my phone in, it never goes in the same pocket I have my keys or change in.

I bought the SPIGEN SGP when I got my note. It came with 2 protectors and I installed the first and it only lasted me a day. One whole side wouldn't stay down. Installed the second and it lasted a week. It collected oils and fingerprints like mad but I could deal with that, it developed 2 small scratches of its own so it had to go.

Right now I have the REALOOK protector on my phone and its been holding up pretty good. I've had it on for about a week and no scratches and doesn't hold as many fingerprints and seems to fit better then the SPIGEN.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrynalyne:
Or maybe he is just careful. If you identify the sources that can scratch the glass, you can find a way to avoid them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
I have never had a scratch on any of the 4 devices I have owned and I do not use a screen protector. droideris-gsfascinate-gs3-gn2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bond32:
What protector did you use? I generic Walmart brand that you cut yourself? I have used almost every brand out there and I have never noticed any distortion of colors like you describe.

Currently using the JLG. It looks great and feels great, as if it didn't have a protector on at all.

Hi

As title says I am toying with the idea of updating my ROM from stock 4.1.1

Although I am happy with its overall performance I would like to know from other people what they felt were the main difference when they changed ROMs

I would love to get rid of all the bloatware and have the new camera app with 4.2

also...read somewhere that 4.2 will be available OTA in the new year but what the hell, people root out of the box so it can't be all that bad

All advice welcome thank you for your time

Cheers

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D3_:
If all you want to do is remove bloatware, all you need to do is root. You can install some of the 4.2 apps without rooting either.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] titooo7:
You don't need to use a Custom rom really.

I got my Note 2 since yesterday and I'm really happy with stock performance (and I was coming from a SGS3).

I just powered it with root and XposedFramework with call recording and multiwindow modules. :)

I don't know only few devs are doing their mods with xposedframework...

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CitizenLee:
If you want to tweak and customise it then go for a custom ROM.

Otherwise, if you just want to remove pre-installed apps then just root it and stay on stock as D3 suggested.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EFCLEE:
Ok so rooting is a must, would I still get updates OTA if I am rooted? maybe for now I can just uninstall bloatware and install the camera app until 4.2 is released

Going to give this a whirl

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hagba:
I went that way with my Note I, and was so addicted to it that I didn't rest until I bricked it, of course it was entirely my fault alone but will never take that root again.

So my 64 million dollar advice is no, I will most patiently wait for the stock ROM.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CitizenLee:
I dunno about OTA. I rooted and flashed custom within about 2hrs of getting my Note 2 :)

Put it this way though...any updates, fixes or features included in new official firmware will always be included in the latest stock ROMs, often even before the official stock appears as many XDA devs have industry insiders who often leak f/w early.

Easiest way to root and install a custom recovery:

All soft-bricks are fixable... don't let it put you off enjoying the vast array of awesome custom ROMs available for Note 2. Just be sure to always have a back-up handy, and to always read the instructions as many times as it takes for them to be clear in your mind :good:

You must be flashing the wrong ROMs :D

I've been doing this a long time too, on lots of different phones and rarely have any bugs or frustrations, certaininly nothing that isn't usually A/ apparent on stock f/w too or B/ fixed within hours/days by the ROM devs. I wouldn't say I'm a flashaholic though, I tend to find a ROM that works well then use it for a few weeks with the odd kernel swap until the next major release, usually a new base, then I'll monitor the threads for a few days to see what issues others are having and see if it's worth my while updating. I guess that's half the fun for me though and I understand some people simplay can't be bothered with it. Each to their own :good:

The good thing about Note 2 is it has good stock and cutom ROMs so you're going to have a good experience either way :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stuart99:
I'd echo citizenlees comments. The stock rom is pretty good.

I'm a relative new comer, and I'm in the process of mixing up ROMS And kernels. And I have to say it's been fun trying new things and seeing how they work for you. My battery life now is mega! And that's only from tinkering.

Make sure your back up is solid depending on which recovery version you use.

I've had to use the recovery method when things have gone pear shaped, but all good now.

Have fun and explore in small steps.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pakure:
you need to have root to enjoy your android phone to full...for ex: to include all apps in multiview, etc..........but when you have rooted the note2, there is no way you get OTA updates...they are also far and few..you need to update by flashing the official new firmware using odin, when it is made available, usually 2-3 months later than the leak....and you would again lose root...so you again have to root......(unlike my asus tablet, where i can restore root without problem and i get OTA updates despite being rooted..and i am using stock rom on it...asus is fast on updates and fixes)

so think about it, ...you may as well flash custom roms (most are close to stock on the note2 ...just debloated, rooted with all tweaks and mods pre-installed) and enjoy all tweaks and updates earlier.

just read instructions carefully, no problems
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nidhish91:
The stock firmware is wonderful. I myself got my note yesterday and I am planning to just root and debloat it. I would advise the same.

camera didnt have sphere!! so i flash it with 4camnex2 so now I have 2 camera icons in my app draw one that has no sphere and one that fails to load!! hmm

also keyboard doesnt have any number across the top, I was sooo used to this previous now its just a bind having to press 123 button

on the whole I am still glad I upgraded to 4.2

am I right that I could re-flash with an official ROM and revert back to OTA updates?

Where did you get the mmcblk0p4 name anyway?

According to the list of partitions given by Sir Arco, p4 is the MBR. In other words, you've hosed *everything* in your W, including the all-important boot partition.
