Thanks for the reply but I was looking for someone that has returned their rooted phone.

You may know this, does Verizon have a check for it?

Should I expect the rep to know how to get it to show him how many times I have flashed a ROM? (Power off, downbutton volume, power button, etc)? Or for them to hook it up to their computer via usb? Or am I giving them too much credit?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Travisdroidx2:
Use triangle away to clear flash counter and return to stock Odin to return to stock. Do you know how to check your flash counter? There are other threads in here about your same question.http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2077511
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Greggonzo1:
Thanks. Didn't even know that is what is was called.

ok Checked mine. interesting the firstime it came up as

Custom Binary-No

Current: Samsung Official

System status: Official.

But I checked it again and now it says

Custom Binary-No

Current: Samsung Official

System Status: Custom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Travisdroidx2:
So your counter is at 0 so if you Odin back to stock from imnuts. That should put you back to official. I believe from what I have read. I have not had to do this myself yet. You tube has a video on it also.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nycdarkness:
I had to send my sprint note 2 to samsung for repair on the power button. I odined to stock made sure it didn't say modified under status. Didn't bother checking the flash count. They repaired sent back within 14 business day time frame no problems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Greggonzo1:
I

Guess I still don't know how to check the flash count.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Travisdroidx2:
Flash counter is the binary count. If you had numbers after it that would be your count. You are at 0 if you do not see any numbers after binary.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Greggonzo1:
I guess my last question is, if I am already on the stock rooted rom I read in the post that

"How to unroot stock 4.1.1 Jelly Bean

- There are only two additional files added to the rooted stock odin image, /system/xbin/su and /system/app/Superuser.apk.

- If you remove those two files with a app such as filemanager and reboot, you will be back to unrooted stock.

"

If I delete these files do I need to flash the stock rom again back with ODIN? Will TWRP still be installed? I guess I would just be unrooted but the bootloader would be unlocked?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Travisdroidx2:
Download screen might still show custom without Odin back to stock? Not sure you can try and check worse case you have to Odin.

can some developer to port a rom jelly beans to Newman n2? it have the same SoC Exynos 4412. Is sufficient for porting?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theshawty:
Newman N2 sounds like some cheap Chinese knock-off. Doubt anyone would want to port to that, even though it may be possible.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ild0tt0re:
The same capabilities of the galaxy s3, rather something more but much cheaper. I bought it from http://android-sale.com/newman-n2.html.

See the specs.

Please help! :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theshawty:
Seems the only thing that differentiates this from the GS3 is that the Newman has a better camera. Porting would be possible, I think, but the problem would be getting the camera to run as the GS3 "only" has an 8MP one.

Newman N2

I have just ordered the Newman N2, and I hope to see a custom rom in the near future (preferably based on CM10 or CM10.1, or even AOSP or AOKP)... I have not developed or modified any ROM so far (although I'm using Disarmed Toaster on my HTC Evo 3D), but I know my way about programming on a PC and in Linux. So I might be of some help in the process...

Freelander I20

Ok. Maybe if some of you interested in a little review. I'm share my experiences. First, sorry for my english.

Hardware

I'm pleasantly suprised. The assemblage is very good. No crakckilngs. The buttons are good. The backshell is simple plastic, but it's a little rugged, so has better hold, not so floppy. The black is normal, but the yellow is all-gloss-plastic, I like it. :o

There is a little glitch in my case, over the resistive buttons a little light-leak visible on dark screens. It is still reasonable. I don't know is any way to swith this button light on-off, but I will looking around.

The camera making good photos, but the burst mode is a little slow. Maybe the memory access is not the best. I'm hope it will be fixed in the next FW. The speaker sounds good and clear.

It doesn't recognised my CL10 ADATA SD formatted NTFS, but working well formatted FAT32, I think it will be fixing also in the future, and maybe no problems with slower class NTFS formatted cards.

The display is superb. Good colors, and viewing angle. I had a super amoled Samsung before, so I think I say it without fear or favour.

The WIFI is fast as it can be. And the BT also working fine. I will test GPS later.

Software

The phone started on my mother language, thanks Pandawill. ;) Isn't installed any needless chinase program, but comes with Play Store. Untill this time been able to install any programs I want. It isn't rooted. I'm hope the devoted community will do it fast. :)

Antutu v3 scores 12700, not the best, but I don't care still all the games going without lag. (Updated: dunno why, but after a restart it scored 14900) Eternity Warriors 2, Zenonia 5, Crazy Fist2 goes well. Asphalt 7 has a small lag, but don't know whats normal, it doesn't work on my tablet. Pinball Arcade goes fine but Zen pinball has lag just like on my dual core tab with same gpu. Trial xtreme 3 goes fine.

I will test more games later. Another apps. What I'm using installed. TFS Shell goes like a charm. Youtube, Facebook OK. All tool working in Smart Tools.

If you have any questions, let me know.

PS: I'm still very happy with this phone. ;)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hagbard2323:
I have a Freelander I-20, just arrived today and have been messing around with it. I had tried to cancel the order but as often seems to happen with Chinese retailers, they ignored my emails and sent it anyway!

I'm quite impressed with the screen, very bright and good viewing angles. Reception with Three UK has been a bit spotty but I'm in a bad area and so needs more testing. GPS took a good few minutes to lock during a quick test.

Number one problem I've noticed is the lack of full G-apps. It has Play, so gmail etc... can be installed, but there is no initial android/google set-up and no way to sync contacts (even from settings and accounts). There's a French forum with quite a few people who have received this phone and they are all reporting the same. I noticed a link on that forum to XDA and a tool for rooting phones that use the Exynos4 processor, and I can confirm that it works with the I-20.

Using that I was then able to install Titanium Backup and restore google contacts sync and gtalk from a backup saved from my previous phone (Huawei G300). So now I have my contacts back and also gtalk so the biggest problem for me was resolved quite quickly.

Sorry for the noob question but which is the best forum for creating a dedicated post for this phone?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thefiqs:
working fine! and the camera also working, so we love Chainfire! :laugh: rooted in 1 min, lool

I don't know what is the best place to create a dedicated post, maybe this forum? :)

btw as I see, Newman has better support and big community (check this, already got 8 patch? http://tieba.baidu.com/f?kw=%C5%A6%C2%FCn2), maybe later we can use Newman FW on our device

Latest Newman N2 update, dated 2013.01.12

http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=190860&uk=1143976775

Thanks Kacerolo, from HTCMania, already flashed Newman FW on Freelander I20, working fine. I'm waiting how-to. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6ocJeUe0dc

Don't you know guys, is it OK if I'm start the phone in recovery mode and flash simple the FW from the extSD?

And some nice infos about the phones, thanks Lares

01.11 Newman started sales of N2, and all phones have been sold for three and a half minutes. The next batch is planned for January 18.

All phones are tested by robots from the future and stationery clamps.

Package Contents is different in that N2 has the micro-sim adapter and cutter, and I20 has second yellow back cover

The phone has the Sony Exmor RS camera with a back-illuminated sensor.

The phone has a touch screen and display are produced by OGS (one glass solution) technology.

The phone has the Corning Gorilla Glass 2 protective glass and ten finger multitouch.

The phone has a dual cooling, namely graphite and aluminum-magnesium plates somewhere inside.

The phone has a second microphone for noise reduction during the conversation, and used NICAM audio compression technology.

Proof for five previous facts about this phone is here .

The screen in the phone is produced ​​by LG Display. It is 7.5-generation LCD IPS, that is exactly the same as in LG flagships.

Despite some unresolved issues with the camera, Newman is very proud of it, and its further optimization in priority.

In a short time Newman promises release version firmware. Unofficial firmwares and firmware porting welcomed by Newman.

Something else:

The phone has not OTG.

The phone has not MHL.

3.5 mm jack corresponds to the CTIA international standard. Old headsets with OMTP standart will not work properly.

Newman N2 vs. FreeLander i20

[YOUTUBE]KBl7dCNumTE[/YOUTUBE]

Interesting results , as the Newman N2 and FreeLander i20 are said to be internally the same. Then what's the reason for ~10% difference in the results? A bit worse software in the i20? Or some kind of cheating?

When I get my N2, I'll run the AnTuTu benchmark too... can someone with i20 post his/her results too?

Don't know why. First time I'm tested antutu, got 12xxx points, but after a restart, got 14900. Btw the 00.22 Newman FW on my Freelander! :D Just need to fix PlayStore. Still searching.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lar3s:
Owners were some problems with the 3D benchmarks, but only with benchmarks. According to them, the actual performance does not suffer. In the latest firmware Newman repaired the compatibility with some applications. I think this just affects the results. Freelander is so slow with updates, but Newman makes new f/w twice a week.

Phone is currently on 0103 NIGHTLY and I chose to setup using PIN to unlock screen lock. When I tried to look for a way to change screen unlock method, thus swipe-to-unlock, I couldn't find the option under Settings > Security. All I was able to locate was to change the PIN. I wanted to switch the method back to swipe-to-unlock but couldn't find where to do it.

Anyone please? Thanks!

Two important stuff you must have :D

sorry for this noob question but what is pristine and seeders?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] 7amada100:
dont worry no one gets borned knowing all those stuff ;P

Pristine mode is the best way of flashing a new rom and it helps to make you feel all the goodies of the rom

AND

Seeders is a script that fixes many lags in the android system. this helps fixes lag and should also help in power saving.

Try them and give me feedback ;)

Alright guys here is the video shown on the Galaxy Nexus in case you have been living under a rock for the past few days...

Everywhere I look I cannot find anywhere where it has been released to begin working on getting it to our Note 2. Let us update this thread and eventually turn it into a "How-To" once we slap together something that works.

Any thoughts to get the ball rolling?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kleeman7:
They said they will be releasing a flashable zip for the galaxy nexus sometime in the future. So I would think you would have to wait til that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] lmike6453:
Yeah I figured that this is all that we can do is wait, but does anyone know where it will be dropped first?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] spiderjerusalem:
I think it is dropping during ces so like next week sometime, very excited about this.

I think its kind of like a mash up of wp and android. To me I don't know if I like it yet I don't think, it looks like everything big and they didn't utilize the realist ate they have. And that looked a little slow, if you watch on some of the transactions and I like the ability to have buttons and menus. I'll have to play with it when its out but so far I'm not sure
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] intruda119:
Looks like a themed version of miui to me. Nothing special but im not a ubuntu user.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mmmelroy:
excited to see what they bring to the table

android may not be as stagnant as iOS, but it's going to be neat having an ubuntu OS. I run it on my windows machine as another boot option and find it useful and fairly intuitive.

will be looking forward to news for this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] g2tegg:
I think the ability to have a full fledged operating system on a phone is an amazing idea.

What those videos where showing was a Nexus running a Ubuntu operating system, with some sort of mobile theme applied. Once the device is docked it could be used as a desktop solution. Or plugged into a TV, or a laptop etc.

This is something the mobile market has never seen before.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] josidhe:
I have a big concern about Ubuntu's history of ignoring feedback over the last few years. They've been making very heavy handed design decisions with the excuse that Linux users are 'free' to change things around if they want, but that attitude won't cut it in the consumer mobile market.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] TheGrandFinale2001:
I've always enjoyed Ubuntu, not this new Unity thing but with Gnome classic it's been great. So I would definitely give this a try.

"A specific date in unknown but it’s probable that the release will coincide with Canonical’s appearance at the Mobile World Congress 2013, being held between 25 – 28th of February." still over a month away
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] coke7:
Now, there is a date:

Canonical announced the release of the image for the nexus and the source code as well, for the 21st of February. They will flash every phone they get at the MWC from 23 - 25.

Hopefully, someone will manage to port it for the sgn2, soon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] AlonB.:
Can't wait to try it out! Even though functionality will be very basic at first... The only thing that worries me is whether the Ubuntu install will repartition our phone. It would be a bit of a ***** in that case
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] g2tegg:
It seems like a difficult process. In oder for Ubuntu to run smoothly, it needs to be ran as a complete operating system. As was shown on those videos. What we can do today is run Ubuntu virtually, which, for obvious reasons, will be significantly slower.

Once the code is dropped, we have to find a way to port it over to our Notes. Which means finding specific drivers. If Samsung supports this (which I doubt) it would make the process that much simpler.

That and I'm assuming the confirmed working devices, Nexus S, Nexus 4, Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 will all have a dual boot option from Android to Ubuntu. We don't have that option... Yet...

No support? I'd switch to the Nexus 4. Seriously. That's how badly I would love to have Ubuntu on my phone Lol. Id throw away LTE, expandable memory and a killer battery to have that OS in my hands.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sabre31:
The initial release will be very basic. No exchange email support from what I understand and no app store for starters. So you can only use what they give you as far as apps. Won't be fun with no apps to install and use.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] starche_old:
Really? If it's a desktop OS, why nothing will work? I'm using Thunderbird it's pretty good email client.

P.S. I'm really excited to try Ubuntu, it's my the only OS for last 6 or 7 years. What can be better then to use the same OS everywhere :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sabre31:
It will not be same as desktop Ubuntu in other words you can't simply download and run apps or compile them. The apps will only be installable from their app store. I am sure there will be ways around that probably. However it will have a dock mode where I think you will have the Ubuntu desktop when docked but most likely that will be available on their specific tablet and phone hardware. Time will tell and we will know more on the 21st but this initial release will be limited and lacking app store. It is a developer image for developers to start making apps for their app store and have the os to test with.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] starche_old:
Really? That's not fun... I hoped I can get desktop environment on the phone...

Anyways, let's wait for Feb 21st and see what will happen. If there will be dual boot, I'll try it on nexus 7. It will be hard to steal it from my daughter thought :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sabre31:
Well I am hoping for the best like you are. I am excited for Ubuntu as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] g2tegg:
So am I! When I seen the press release it did look like the mobile version is the exact same as the desktop, just a "theme" or a "skin" applied. Once the phone is docked it goes to desktop mode.

EDIT. Just watched the video again. So it is a mobile version, as powerful as it is, its up to the developers to get the apps out there. Still, I am very excited about this!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kevinat0r:
I'm really looking forward to this. It would be nice to see a dual boot!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bstrong9211:
If you want to run a complete Ubuntu image you can using a vnc client. Look up "complete Linux indtaller" in the play store
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] g2tegg:
Which is slow, and virtualized. Its more of a neat thing to play with, but by no means can be used for productivity. Its been available for quite some time, and now even has a simple installer from the Play store.

Theoretically speaking: both Android and Ubuntu runs Linux kernel, i.e. all you need to do is just take hardware specific kernel modules and compile them into Ubuntu kernel. Sounds not that difficult for me, but I might missing smth
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] idumych:
I'm by no means a developer, but here's what I've come to understand after reading these forums for a couple years.

Most Android phones ship with proprietary video drivers that can't be reused with other operating systems. Android uses its own framebuffer interface instead of x11, which every other Linux system that I've ever seen uses such as Meego, Mer, WebOS, etc. The only devices I know of that anyone has ever been able to get X11 working on are the nexus family and the HTC HD2. This is why we aren't able to run Linux natively on our phones currently, and get stuck using ghetto hacks like VNC.

I really would like to know if Ubuntu Phone is using X11 or not, I've been looking at varous places all morning and I haven't been able to find a straight answer to this. I'm hoping deep down inside that they figured out a way to use the Android framebuffer and rootless X windows a la Mac OSX, but that's probably a pipe dream.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] muon69:
android drivers on ubuntu

I remember reading an interview with Shuttleworth somewhere and he said that ubuntu phone was designed in such a way that you could use android drivers with it. I'll look for it and post a link.
