Debugging works ;)

Hello all & thanks for trying my ROM.

USB Debugging Works after 3-6 Reboots. Its working for me now :D :D

Use a different kernel like kfazz JB safe one,,,,,,, But default kernel is a beast ;)

Now the acid audio just plug in CM 10 JB by kfazz or Eman and listen music in head phones & speaker without any sound mods. now use my Rom which has AC!D baked in. you can find difference For better USE Noozy addon & inside noozyoxide app line out audio Use EQ preset as unique 3 ,VE engine to weak &VSUR to Live (first one) . AVLS works only when using other music player than NOOZY...

In settings>>sound>>Music effects>>choose Noozxoide....

Just a tip..... I like this with my headphones :D & yes headphone quality also matters .................

@ adverbius :: thanks for input but can you pm me link for gapps you used ????????????

@ chemahg7 :: Nope currently English only to get other languages to work I need to decompile framework & service & messout there :p

enjoyyyyyyyyy
[Motorola Droid Android Development] Shredder87:
I should've been more specific. Clean wipe, each time. Cleared dalvic afterwards. Always check it on music effects. (Been doing this since I found Awesome beats months ago.) There is no audio enhancements when I use them. I put the bass boost on Awesome Beats, mess with the equalizer, ect. Nothing happens. Loaded up the Noozyoxide one, again, nothing happens. Put on that SRS enhancement, audiophile, equalizer, nothing. When I put the vanilla awesome beats one after a clean wipe without installing the ACID ones is when the enhancement kicks in. ACID is still there so I guess its working in tandem with vanilla?

So I did a fresh wipe and reflashed Altonus JB, this time with ACIDS sound mod see if it was just ACID acting like a jerk but ACID Awesomebeats/Noozyoxide actually work with that ROM. I dunno what else to tell you? Maybe it's a permissions issue that's not letting it happen? I could be the only one. It was working for me in your ICS rom.

Hello All,

here is a little mod to add a 128 GB sdcard in the galaxy note 2 microSD slot...

It's derived from my original mod, that was much more thick, ugly, and phone warranty killer =>

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1356754

This mod won't work directly on the galaxy note 2, unless I destroy the NFC module that is covering the microSD slot.

So I decided to go another way :

I kept only the microSD adapter, soldered some Kynar wire on it, and soldered it directly to my 128 GB LEXAR SDcard, that I stripped down a little too, for this mod to be as thin as possible... as you can see on the pics, the wire and the soldering on the microSD side are englued with Thermal glue to add resistance when manipulating. I added tape also to protect the circuit of the SDcard.

I shaped the wire this way so the SDcard rest in the middle of the battery, so the bulge is almost invisible when the case is back on !

The card is FAT32 formatted, so no problem on compatibility, and I don't have files bigger than 4GB, so no problem for me !

That's it, no more, no less, and it works like a charm !

Wow! That's pretty cool... wouldn't it work with exFAT too?

Brgds... /Tubgirl
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mrcrptguy:
Where can I get the adaptor? I think I might try this, I cut my otter box down the 2nd day after buying it, I now run a 6500mah extended battery inside with virtually no added thickness.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] baileyjr:
Nice mod. There has got to be a demand for this kind of thing. If only you could market a pre-modded adaptor you'd make a fortune.

Unfortunitely me and soldering irons dont mix well, so I'll just have to wait until the 128gig micro SD cards are availiable :o

edit I found a couple of possible ready made solutions, but theu might not be long enough or be too bulky.

mrcptguy :

Follow the link on the first post, this is my first version, with details of what/where.

Tubgirl :

Dunno for exFAT, if your phone handles it, shure, but it's not recognized in linux : microsoft property, specs are not open...

So I haven't tried it.

I tried to directly use an old micro SD card just for it's connectors, but it's impossible to drill it without breaking it... it's silicon after all !

After that, I tried to mold a fake micro by melting plastic, But I can't figure how to fix the metal plates on it with enough precision so it matches the connector inside the phone !

Boujou bien,

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Tubgirl:
My N7100 handled exFAT out of the box so your probably does too... just in case you didn't know :)

Brgds... /Tubgirl
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] kwenteen:
Well yes, but I meant linux on my computer, if it doesn't handle it, I can't mount the sdcard on it, so it's useless for me ! :D

Yep, that was me ! :D

Small world eh :D

Im hoping the 128gb misco sd cards will be announced at CES but im not holding my breath.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Techronico:
Can you detail this 6500mAh mod?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] stesteste:
i ordered the adapter if i remove my nfc chip from one of my backs will the sd card fit in thanks
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] kwenteen:
Hello, if you are planning to use the entire SDcard adaptor, then no, no matter what you do, it won't fit under a normal backplate. Look at my first mod for an NOTE 1, it is way too thick ! :silly:

If you are planning to drill through your back plate, then you might be able to fix the adaptor to the outside of it, but because of the different placement of the microSD slot between the note 1 and the 2, you'll have to bend the ribbon cable in a weird way ( a U shape).

Anyway, if you are planning to keep the adaptor's integrity, and the original backplate, you'll end up with something even more ugly and less usable as my first mod...:eek:

I scratched my head for a long time to figure out how to implement the mod correctly, and only fund the hard-wiring way to be doable.

Now IF you can find a back plate for huge batteries, then that would be another story ! :cool:

Good luck,

boujou bien,

K.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] scottmog:
that is freaking sweet, you could pull the shell of the card and replace it with tape for a much slimmer card correct?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] kwenteen:
That's what I partially did, I left a piece of the shell, because the pcb of the SDcard is so thin, that it's really flimsy ! but if you plan to stick and never touch it again, that could be ok.

remember that the solder will face the battery, so to avoid it to rub against it and maybe damage it, be sure that the pressure is correctly distributed, I left a piece of the shell for it.

Boujou bien,

this is awesome... great soldering job!... but i noticed in the pic that you left one pin un soldered... any reason why? is it specific?

Note 2 can take FAT64 FS.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] stesteste:
i wonder if i can get a block of wood the same size of the sd card and hammer lighty round it on back case mybe it might mould it out abit for card to fit,,any more suggestions
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mrcrptguy:
Yeah I'll take some pics with my wife's Iphone in a little while ;)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mrcrptguy:
Here are some pics
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] kwenteen:
If you compare pin to pin a micro and a standard sdcard, you ll see that there is one more pin on the standard sd... if you rip open a standard microsd to sdcard adapter (the empty sdcard with a micro sd slot) you can easily figure which pin isn t used on microsd card ! :p

Dunno what it s meant for thus!

Mrcptguy,

Where did you found such a battery ?? And what autonomy can you get with it? ? The original one is already the best one I ve ever seen.:silly:

You my friend have a real talent and skills!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] dkb218:
Could it be possible you are in the wrong thread?:laugh:
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mrcrptguy:
Nope, I was asked to detail how I came to use a 6500mah in my Otter Box previously in the thread.

To the OP: not trying to hijack your thread but the combination of our mods would be the s**t. Lol.

Then there's always the people who say "why would you want to do that to such an expensive and sleek device?" I always think to myself, why not?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] johnwaynegacy:
LOL I remember tubgirl.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Techronico:
I was the one who asked. Sorry to hijack, but it will pass. :highfive:

Thanks again for the pics. I am thinking of trying this with the Anker Battery and the Black Rhino case (Both pretty cheap from Amazon). Did yours add any additional thickness beyond the cutout (ie Was it bulging the silicone).

To anyone else who thinks this is in the wrong thread... lighten up a bit. This is hardly going to stop you from chopping yo' junk to make 128GeeBees on your phone... When I mod my phone and case, I promise to create a new thread. :D

OP...Sorry for the brief delay, on with the regularly scheduled program. ;)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mrcrptguy:
It didn't add a noticeable bulge, very very slight. Fits in the holster perfectly.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Tw1sted247:
Way cool mod, nice work.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] farfromovin:
Damn you OP!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] livingaboard:
yeah, there is pretty much no way in hell that I would ever attempt this backyard mechanic hack job with my nice phone.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] farfromovin:
To each their own but just so we're all on the same page there is no modifications to the phone. You're just hacking the SD card...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] m4xwellmurd3r:
Oh snap I might have to do this to my phone now. Ive almost filled up my 64 gig card with games and lots and lots of music.

Take that iphone and your overly priced non-expandable memory!

Soldering on that scale is no problem for me at all. How much did you trim off the 128 card? Or was it just the adapter you hacked up?

Ill bet all that enamel wire I ripped out of my headphones would work great for this.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] farfromovin:
EXACTLY. I've always wanted my entire music collection with me and it's about 70GB so this whole 64gb cap for the last couple years has been killing me. Now I'll have all music+tons of room for misc nerd stuff and probably another 40gb free or so for video files, awesome. Oh, and I had to look at the 256gb cards on Amazon as well... Too bad they're $450 ish!

Speaking of SD cards, is there a preference for this mod? Would SDHC OR SDXC work better? I'm leaning towards SDXC as I think that's a little newer and probably more Samsumg friendly as far as exfat goes. Anyone habe insight on that?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] m4xwellmurd3r:
Sdhc only goes to 32gb. Sdxc is 64+
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Tubgirl:
For parts... is there a cheaper microsd with ribbon cable available than this one that's 28 USD?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/221149976391
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] boodies:
kickstart this baby, im all in!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] kwenteen:
There is another ref in the first post link, costs about 5 bucks!

You should know that soldering directly to the ribbon is not very easy, you have to peel carefully the varnish on the top of electric tracks to expose without destroying them !

Then once the solder is applied and the wires correctly soldered on, be carefull to fix it in place with glue !

On the other side, when you are putting some solder paste on the sdcard connectors, don t overheat it ! The pcb is really thin, and on the other side is the memory, that you don t want to desolder !

To reduce the thickness of the mod, I used a dremel to remove the top part of the plastic shell and some of the side, while keeping approx half of the shell beneath (on the connector side) to protect the pcb.

Still, I think there must be a way to replace the ribbon/fake microsd. I tried do make my own in plastic, but didn t know how to put electrical tracks on them...

If anyone had an idea... to replace it that would be great !

Boujou bien,

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] dominick_7:
These mods are awesome! Serious props to you both! A step by step guide for each would be amazing.

For the battery mod:

Was considering getting the Hyperion 6400 battery and the Seidio Active with kickstand.. you think that mod could work with that case? Wonder if NFC would still work.

For the SD Card mod:

No matter what you can't keep NFC right? Even if you get an extended battery + case? Would be amazing to be able to have the 16 (in reality 11GBs) + 128GBs at 134GBs or so after format? Wonder if there's a way to install apps to the SD Card without rooting. Had only like 2-3GBs of room left over from just the first or second day after I received my Note 2 with games and apps installed. Would be amazing to be able to put my entire music collection on there as well.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] farfromovin:
Parts ordered. While I'm an amateur solder guy, I have access to micro miniature solder techs theough my work who could do this stuff in their sleep without burning anything so I'll hand this one over to them. Thanks OP!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] kwenteen:
On the contrary, nfc should be perfectly ok !!

The mod should not affect it. I ordered some nfc tags today to try it, with and without the sdcard to confirm this, will tell you the result !

From the pics I've seen of the big battery mod, the nfc should still work too, except maybe for the thickness that might make it less sensible ?

So if you merge the 2 mods, you should still have nfc working. My 2 cents thus ;)

Boujou bien,

K.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Pompsdai:
Will definitely try this with my spares hehe
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] tphoang:
I thought the Note 2 only took a max of 64gb?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mrcrptguy:
You definitely have nfc with the battery mod alone and I'm pretty certain you could retain nfc with the sd card mod also. I'm ordering the ribbon to integrate both.

---------- Post added at 12:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:01 AM ----------

I looked at some pics of the seidio active case, it's hard to say if it would work without having it in my hands. Its hard to tell the thickness of the interior rubber as that is what would need to be cut out to make room for the thicker battery.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] eraursls1984:
It says that because that's all that's available. Phones from 2-3 years ago say they support 32gb, but the 64gb sdxc works just fine.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Deanemau5:
This is awesome! I was annoyed they didn't release the 64gb phone outside of Korea, but with this mod you actually get more memory in the end anyway.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] farfromovin:
I ordered this card from amazon yesterday at $88 and today it's $ 117!

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] BoBBBBBBBO:
128gb space on my Note 2 would be awesome.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jdyowa:
Dude, this is awesome
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] tphoang:
Is the SD format compatible with any other formats such as CF, etc? And is there an male microsd adapter to xxxxx?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] kwenteen:
Nope, their not directly (wire-to-wire) compatible, I know you can find some adapters from micro SD to sony MG, but not in the other side...

I never seen such for CF, and I doubt it exists, as CF interface is more like ultra DMA from hard drive.

For those who are doing the mod, please share your hack with pics !

Boujou bien,

K.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] farfromovin:
Of course. I cant think of a better place for the sd card though. I might do an epoxy over the adapter ribbon and was thinking small heatshrink for the cables but fear that'll be too big. I wish I could just get some thin ribbon cable like the adapter has so it could extend all the way to the sd card itself to forgo the kynar wires altogether. You could fold it to make turns and it would probably work great. Tricky part would be on the sd end itself...

-edit- got my 128gb Kingston sd today! Still waiting on the adapter from China :(
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] GK2020:
Awesome job...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] gmplr831@comcast.net:

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] farfromovin:
Anyone else do this mod? I got a fat32 formatted 128gb Kingston sd card here just burning a hole in my pocket waiting for the ridiculously slow shipping of that $5 adapter cable... Hope it gets here soon (and hope I dont ruin the sd card sanding it down).

Received adapter in the mail today. Cut it down and opened up my microsd. Will solder tomorrow and either cover in tape or some clear laminate maybe?

Please excuse the cheesy couch background in the photos...

My battery cover fits and snaps on all corners but it bulges in a couple spots. It still fits perfectly in my Seidio Active case, so I'm a very happy camper. Now if I can just get my iBolt car dock running usb audio out I have 600+ music albums in V0 variable bit rate just waiting to pulse through my car speakers. From here on out, I will not purchase a phone with less than 128gb of memory. :D

Any updates on this?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] lepapirriky:
I wish there was more updates on this.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] farfromovin:
Sorry buddy. I've been floating in the middle of the pacific ocean (US Navy) since shortly after I posted my setup results. I'll get some pics when I get back to land :good: I re-adjusted my "cable routing" on the mod to where my battery cover shuts completely. It's a little bulged in the middle, but snaps shut all around now. If I had to do it again, and I might anyway, I'm thinking about cutting up a Cat5 cable and using that as it's tiny. You really want the smallest cable possible. I've done lot's of wireless charging mods and other mods with my last few phones and I hate it when battery covers bulge or don't shut right. The best mod is an invisible one IMO and I'm not there yet with this. Still worth it as I have 70gb of music, 2 TV seasons in 720p, 3 or 4 movies in 720p and an extra 10gb or so left over just for kicks :D
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] lepapirriky:

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mesh626:
This is amazing! I have a 64gb in my Note 2 and I thought that would be enough space but it's not I'm getting close to maxing out my card! I want to try this
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ghandi2000:
thanks so much, farfromovin! this is exactly what i set out to do myself! well basically at least, since my sensation xe bulges a little too much with an sd-card inside, even if it's stripped down.

still have to wait for my adaptor, but it's great seeing that my plan is doable, from a technical point of view. now the only challenge is to make room for the bigger card in the phone itself, which will get quite interesting, i'm sure.

i'll present my mod in the sensation-forum, well, at least if i don't destroy my phone in the process.

thanks again for the infos/pics!

I had much smaller wire but I left it at home when I went out to sea (that's when I did this). I think with the tiny wire you could position it where mine is and still have a closing battery cover. I might redo mine again with the tiny (30ga ?) wire but that flex print sucks so bad to work with...

Great job !

Can you tell if your mod still allow you the use of nfc? It might affect the connection between the phone and the antenna ?

I was wondering how i could add a wireless charging mod with the sdcard mod and with the nfc still working...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] farfromovin:
My NFC is in op currently, but I just need to add a little copper tape between the contacts, or re-solder the wires with the smaller ones to get the case to snap shut. The QI receivers for wireless charging sit on the battery and don't interfere with NFC at all.

wow, that's coming together nicely! i also thought the blue wires are a little on the thick side, but if that's what's available, you gotta use it! :)

my sd->microsd adaptor finally arrived and now i'm waiting for my 128gb kingston. when i got it i'll do a quick check to see if it works on my sensation xe, but the goal is to integrate it "completely", so the battery-cover closes securely, since i don't use any case to "cover up" my doings. :)

i hope i'll get it next week and will keep you updated!

the only thing i worry about it that by the time i finish this lil' project, there'll be 128gb-cards in micro-sd... ^^
