[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3vo3d:
well i thought i would leave it a while before i responded to this question.

I have been using my phone for a little over a week now. i will preface this by saying i didnt initially like samsung because i thought they copied apple too much and i wasnt impressed with touchwiz. also all my previous phones were htc and i thought i would stick with them forever.

I must say however, that this phone is a beast in pretty much every sense of the word. If it isnt the best phone on the market then the phone that is must be simply astonishing.

The phone is big but after a day i picked up my old htc evo3d and thought omg that phone is tiny how did i ever use it? Initilally the s3 looked big now that looks small. I am a pretty big guy so the physical dimensions of the phone pose very few problems too me i do however, sometimes sruggle to hit the far bottom corner of the screen whilst using it one handed. But this is a tiny price to pay for something that is so right in many other areas.

I am really amazed at the speed of the device. using chrome is simply beautiful, the speed in which pages load is a huge improvement on my old phone. Watching anything on the screen is a joy and playing games (this is probably what i do most) is the real winner with this phone for me.

The camera is good, the screen impressive and the tweaks on fonts in apps like text messaging, gmail make the phone seem more premium. This really does feel twice, if not more, as good as my old phone in every department. Except the volume from headphones, that is a real disappointment. The volume really is low using the inbuilt music player app. I have tried poweramp with the gain up full and this mod http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1931970 at 59db and even now it is just acceptable, maybe i am deaf but the volume now is still maybe not quite as loud as on my old phone?

I do miss friendstream but i think plume is much better for twitter. Not really found an improvement for facebook but i dont use it that much.

Now onto the real star of this phone. The battery. I get a days use out of this phone easily. Believe me when i say i never put my phone down. My old one would always be on charge and even then it would struggle to last the day. Only once have i had this phone run out of juice and i have tried every minute of every day to make it lol.

Anyone who is considering getting this phone i would suggest you do it. Just be wary of the dumb arse comments from folks asking if it is your laptop. It gets pretty old pretty quick.

I would also recommend the seidio active case and the slipgrip windscreen mount which holds the phone whilst in the case. Both superb purchases imo.

Sorry for the long post but i felt compelled to share my thoughts.

edit - just to say i got the volume mod to work properly and the volume is now sweeeeeeeet!!! much better than on my previous phones.

1st thing to do would be: download emmc check from market and check your firmware revision. If it's 0xf1 - update as soon as possible.

i want to try and dual boot an unrooted rom to test sky-go but i cant find one

any one will do as long as there is no sign of it being rooted

If you're using g siyah kernel for the dual boot, stweaks app has the option to uninstall root. Just an FYI.

Good. Apple blows. Android has been outselling ios 3-1 for a while. Thats why apple sues everyone. The release of the sgs2 was a game changer and since android has taken over. Hell the sgs2 still out sells iphone 5. I hate apple with a passion.

Remember friends dont let friends buy ios.

Hey I've been eligible for an upgrade for a while now but don't see the need too honestly. I want to see what this device is really made of. We haven't seen it's full potential yet and once we get jb source...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DaMan90:
Try to sell this at my school. Everyone gets like a really laggy old android and then there like androids suck iPhones ftw. Smh...there's nothing I can do
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
Give me your upgrade. Jk :beer::D

But seriously if i was able to upgrade tomorrow I wouldn't hesitate to pick up a Note II.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
Well you kinda can't blame them if they had really old laggy androids. My girlfriend had an lg Optimus s which was one of those phones and hated it so much she got the 4s. Makes me cringe saying that but the new Android phones out now are simply incredible. People don't know what they're missing. Once a sheep always a sheep I guess lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
Nah. I think that's a waste of an upgrade if you ask me. Think about how good the gs4 is going to be. Or the note 3 with an octo core! I'm saving it man.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluedevils2003:
Yeah I got the s3 and ill have a upgrade nov 1st 2014 gonna be awesone s5 or s6 or note 4 or 5 lol

But good thing about samsung as of lately they been staying up to date on there devices

Kinda glad that my s2 aka my back up phone is getting the jb update having two phones on jb will be nice

Kinda hard to believe as of 2 years ago I was a htc fan now im a samsung fan

Btw before I got the s2 I got the 4s and they dont have lost or stolen coverage on there phones so to me apple is a bunch of conartists and will never ever support apple or there products

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy s3
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Using that kind of logic you'll be saving it forever cuz there's always something newer coming out in a few months.

I like to break stuff! :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
Yeah but if you're in my boat financially lol, once you upgrade you're STUCK with it for two years! So I don't really want last year's model when I could just wait a couple more months. This phone kicks ass anyway lol!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
I've already upgraded from my et4g twice since nov. First went to the s3 now the note 2. Definitely wasnt disappointed with either. I actually just sold my s3 for $100 cuz I busted the screen. So the buyer got a month old s3 for $100 + $130 for new screen = $230 they got a sweet deal :D they're a member here too that I know outside of xda and they were upgrading from the et4g maybe they'll stop by and chime in on the difference and if they are happy or not with the s3. The s4 is still 6 months or so out. Its estimated date to go on sale for the international version is sometime in June and US 1-2 months later so youre looking at july or august b4 US carriers will have em

I like to break stuff! :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
I've been hearing on different tech site's the s4 might come out as early as April. Either way I'm very happy with this device at the moment anyway so I can wait. This phone should be really nice once we get source I'm thinking.

Edit: I'm also coming to this device a couple months ago from the 3d so probably why I'm content with this for now. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Yeah I usually switch devices every 6 months or so cuz my dad likes to buy the newest one that comes out and give me his old one. I'm actually sitting on 2 upgrades now cuz of him giving me the et4g and s3 I used one of my upgrades on the note 2 tho cuz I wanted it when he dumped the s3 on me and I didnt have am upgrade available yet. They all came up dec 1 jan 2 and jan 15 lol used dec 1 on note the same day it was available after I sold some sucker from Craigslist my et4g with all the accessories for $300

I like to break stuff! :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] miketucky350:
Exactly it frustrates me. Every one goes for the free phone. I spent over $200 for my s2 on launch day with a smile! What I'm saying is that if more people went for flagship android devices it would change their mind
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
Maybe you can give one to Omar lol. :D

Yes sir. I'm loving the s3. Good looks on telling me first and holding on till I bought it. I also like to upgrade ever few months. I'm waiting for the s4 to use one of my upgrades.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Censura_Umbra:
I upgrade every few months by selling my current phone and finding a sweet deal on a newer used phone. Though I may just switch to the nexus 4. With their pricepoints I may just be able to upgrade for free forever.

---------- Post added at 04:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:26 PM ----------

Example:

The nexus 4 is $350 and the play store no longer sells the galaxy nexus. So now the galaxy nexus sells for $350 to $400 used online.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FC809:
Where are you seeing those ridiculous prices lol. I see people selling galaxy nexus brand new almost for like 300. Unless things have changed that much.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] newbomb:
I really did give it a try but It didn't work. I tried to change the icon from a file I pulled out of the Gingeritis Thunderbolt rom that I was using before I switched to the GN2. I just don't know enough about making these changes. Can anyone out there help?

I'd like the red and white icon to replace the plain grayish icon in the notification bar when I get new email (gmail).

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Gigatopiloto:
so what you want is that your email notification look like that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stu5797:
Yes. But that opens another issue because notifications have a dark tint when you add color to them.

Please send me the .png
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stu5797:
Here it is
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] newbomb:
This is actually the image that resembles the current gmail icon used in the notification bar. With the envelope closed. I think the one with the envelope open is used in the app.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jeffstoic:
I take no responsibility for any harm that may come to your phone trying this.

You must be rooted for this to work

check out the links at the bottom on this post for ninjamorph stuff

****The new image must be the same size as the old image for this to work****

I was able to get the notification changed using ninjamorph and rootexplorer.

1. rename your image stat_notify_email.png

2. Open ninjamorph and start a new project.

3. go to data/app/com.google.android.gm-1.apk

4. When you click it, it should extract the folder.

5. On the next screen click copy it(lower right corner).

It should tell you where the copy was saved. For me it was on my phone storage in androidthemes/workspace

From there i went to rootexplorer( you could also do this part on your computer).

1. open androidthemes/workspace/com.google.android.gm-1.apk/res

2. Locate these file:

drawable-hdpi,

drawable-mdpi,

drawable-sw600dp-hdpi,

drawable-sw600dp-mdpi,

drawable-sw600dp-xhdpi,

drawable-xhdpi

3. This may just be an extra step but i went through each of these files and added .bak to the end of each original image so it looked like this: stat_notify_email.png.bak (this will keep the original as a backup in the folder).

4. Copy/paste the new image named stat_notify_email.png into each of these folders.

If you don't rename the files when you paste you will just replace the original.

5. Once you have placed the image in all the file you will go back to ninjamorph and click finish project.

6. Click the com.google.android.gm-1.apk

7. It will then create package

8. It will ask if you are sure you want to replace the .apk....click yes

9. It will ask if you want to optimize using zipalign...click yes

10. It will ask if you want to clean up/delete project...Click yes or no(up to you)

11. Once it is done, reboot phone and it should have the new notification icon but it will have a dark tint from the notification bar.

I have not done that much with ninjamorph so there probably is a shorter way to do all this.

Here are a couple links to using ninjamorph:

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djhifi:
Hey guys, just wanted to know why in the JB update for S advance, the ui doesnt come like in other devices, i mean with that dash above the "message, contact and phone" icons?

and also why the applications icon is different? The commonly seen in one with a circle around periods.

Also why is the lockscreen in stock not the same with the new drag function?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Koulis2000:
Hi, first of all, it's just silly, uncomfortable and pointless to make a new thread for a simple question instead of using the Questions and Answers thread [Q&A].

Second, no one knows the actual reason why the UI in Jelly Bean for S Advance is different except from Samsung itself.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ManiacShri:
it is possible to get the s3 and note 2...see supressed ROM thread...the JB version has the ripple unlock!

Hey mate, thanks in advance, i did not understand what you mean by "supressed ROM thread the jb version has the ripple unlock"

[Blade General] Choffa:
Hey!

As I cannot make posts in the development forum I will post this here.

I have just bought myself a Blade 3 just for experimenting with, so I made this rom.

In this dropbox folder(Link at bottom of this post) I have also included CWM(Thanks to apeelme), and usb driver(I needed it to communicate with phone in fastboot).

Install instructions(CWM)

Enable usb debugging.

Run "recovery.bat".

Choose option 1.

Install instructions(ROM)

Copy "Choffa V0.1.zip" to SD.

Do a full wipe.

Install zip from sd.

Change log

V0.1

Based on ICS_P772N10V1.0.0B09, ICS 4.0.4

Pre-Rooted

Removed bloatware

De-odexed

Zipaligned

My uplink is very slow but the rom will be available here as soon as it's done uploading:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Domx92:
I have a weird problem with my touchscreen.

if i lay down my phone on a mattress the touchscreen doesn't notice touches on the navigationbar and i can't access the notification drawer!

the rest of the screen is working well only these two areas doesn't notice any touches if i lay it down on a mattress. on a table sometimes it works and sometimes not and if i hold the phone in my hands, everything is perfect!

i really don't know what this could be !

Stock rom, no root, bootloader locked !

Problem solved: for those who are using a protective film or going to buy one for their n4, i used the Vikuiti DQC160 film and this material is causing issues with the touchscreen. i really don´t know why it´s only when the phone lays anywhere on a table or something but it´s definetly the protective film what caused this strange issue.

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] psycoder:
Hello friends,

This is my first tutorial on this forum and wishing to help my buddies overcome a simple issue I've been facing for many days after coming to windows 8... I am a regular Android App developer and when i started using Windows 8, I observed that the default adb interface couldnt detect my phone.

After a lot of searching here and there, I realized, that there is something missing. So here comes the way to connect our baby droid to the all new windows 8 -

THINGS YOU NEED -

HTC Sync latest 3.21.1

ADT - you can download this from android site.

and this file

NOW HERE COMES THE PROCESS -

1. Download and install HTC sync.

2. Unzip the ADT and add the platform tools folder to your environment path

3. Unzip the file downloaded from link above. Basically its the google usb driver.

4. Now go to device manager and see your phone should be listed as an unknown device.

5. Now find "Android Phone" with a yellow error sign in front. It will be expanded by default.

6. Right click on it and select update driver.

7. Select browse my computer.

8. Link to the folder where you extracted the google usb drivers in step 3. Check the subfolder.

9. Click next. It'll display a warning. Select Install anyway.

10. Completed.

11. You may now download SDK and ADB.

Hope this would be helpful in someway or other.... :mad::mad::highfive::highfive::good:
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] :
Is it necessary?

Do we really need HTC sync if we are on a custom rom? :confused:
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] shortyoko:
Idea of htc sync is to have htc drivers, it is even recommended to stop htc sync when doing something with adb
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] psycoder:
Yes htc sync is not needed, but sometimes I see that if my phone is not being detected on adb and i turn on htc sync and keep it aside, my phone gets detected. So I am also a bit confused if this is at all needed or not...
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] yash539:
just update htc sync (in case if it is not ) cuz i did the same and my phone got detected in windows 8
[Nexus 4 General] andoird213:
Hi all,

I know the N4 has enough source code in AOSP and elsewhere to be able to build an AOSP ROM, but it doesn't quite seem "official" and doesn't offer that undeniable security of "Nexus support" that many have come to know and love. Now, I know people have said it's due to the Qualcomm chip being so new that it would take time to officially work it in, and that it'll likely come around with 4.2.2. Even still, I'm paranoid (just having bought an N4 myself). Is anyone else worried about the N4's future? Or is it just buyer's paranoia?

I'd love to hear some thoughts on this!
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
Just paranoid, you can't build a fully working Nexus 7 ROM solely from AOSP either, thanks to Tegra.
[Nexus 4 General] andoird213:
I figured that it was just that. But I suppose I was just seeking some reassurance haha. Between the recent articles on LG only making "as many Nexus 4's as they want," the speculations going around about the Nexus 5, and this lack of any word on AOSP support, I just got awfully scared that the Nexus 4 might be one of those devices that isn't around and supported for very long.
[Nexus 4 General] undercover:
Speculations....Don't you love them when device is new...

Give it another month or two and everything will go back to "normal", just like with any other device.
[Nexus 4 General] andoird213:
Haha I know, I know. But this was a big buy for me; relatively expensive and I'm ditching VZW for it. I'm just worried that I'll regret it later on, I guess.
[Nexus 4 General] tweaked:
Learn to support yourself?

If you are relying on others to satisfy your purchase, well sooner or later you'll be in an unsupported boat.
[Nexus 4 General] andoird213:
I've built AOSP for it myself, that isn't the issue; it's a more general statement. I'm not relying on anyone for satisfaction, but there's a certain plus to being in a larger community rather than in one where it's only a few who feel stuck with the device.
[Nexus 4 General] tweaked:
Thats true. This is the nexus. I think you are ok there. ;)

Dude, if you wanna get over the 10 posts mark, you can do that, but threads like this are just pointless, sry.

1. There is no "best" ROM

2. There are many JB ROMS around here (well, at least a few), so you gotta be more specific;)

3. The 10 posts mark is exactly to avoid stuff like this in the dev-section, so ...

You can get over the mark easily though just by trying to help people, asking good(!) questions or share your thoughts in the right thread for it. Stuff like this just makes it crowded, U know ;) Don't wanna scare you off, just make things clear, cause people can get pissed easily here on xda. ;)
