[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ttabbal:
The problem you run into with aftermarket batteries and testing them is that there is no way to really measure anything useful about them while in a phone. You can say you think it lasts longer, but that's about it. There are way too many variables to know anything for sure. Unless the phone has a real discharge current sensor, and I've never seen one that does.

If you want to really know about it, search a little and you'll find a couple threads from me about it for other phones, and at least one of mine links back to another that I based some of my work on.

Short version is, aftermarket battery manufacturers LIE ABOUT CAPACITY. And they do it because you can't tell unless you test the battery outside the phone. And they get away with it because few people have the desire to test for themselves, or the gear to do it. If you use a test jig, you can verify this. The stock, OEM batteries I have tested have always been ABOVE the rating on the sticker. That's the control for the test. And every aftermarket I've tested has been significantly lower then advertised. Even the expensive models. Perhaps the Note2 batteries are better, but I doubt it.

If you have a battery you don't mind being without for a while, PM me. Ship it to me, I'll run 4 full cycle tests on it, publicly report on it, and pay for the shipping back to you. Or read my threads and set up your own testing. It's easy to do, and costs less than a couple of these batteries from Amazon.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] h3ck:
I think I may have seen your work in the past. Good stuff. After market batteries definitely are notorious for over rating their batteries. I'm just hoping for a few more hours to get my $16 worth. :)

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ttabbal:
And as long as you know that, you probably will. Unless you get a real crap battery. The Hyperion I tested wasn't over rated by a ton, and was certainly worth the $15 I paid for it. If I paid $100 and didn't get full rated capacity, at a current level you would likely see in the intended device, I'd be pissed. One reason I don't buy a Mugen etc., I'm quite sure I wouldn't. Maybe I'll use the 50% coupons and make myself another franken-battery though. That was fun on the gnex. And will be easier on the Note2 as it doesn't have the NFC antenna on the battery.

franken-battery: Solder 2 stock OEM cells together for a true 2x battery. :D

EDIT: ok forget this, it was my fault for messing with system/app folder :D

I installed this rom on my xt910 GSM Razr (adding the modifications to the build.prop into the gsm patch). It works great so far, with only one exception.

The Home and Search (physical) buttons are not working at all. Any clue? :crying: it never happened to me in any other jb based rom.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Jack'O:
You have to remove everything into /system/app and /system/framework named with vzw, VZW, Verizon, then apply a gsm patch (ask to HSDpilot if he doesn't do it himself).

I'll give it a try just when my Razr will come back from reparation.

Thanks, to you and HSD of course.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
AW: [CDMA][GSM][Rom] Arachnoid v1.1

In case that the rom itself is tested by the dev and runs well: Did you format system and manually wipe data and cache before the Installation? If so, just do it again in this order. And keep in mind that slot 2 needs to be prepared the right way.

---------- Post added at 10:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:16 PM ----------

Download the Verizon jb kernel from whirleyes jb patch thread. if it's packed, unpack it and put the jb_boot.img on your sdcard. Now reboot to bmm recovery and select "Firmware flash". Backup kernel, backup CID. Then erase CID and select flash kernel. Navigate to the file on your sdcardv and confirm to flash it.

Just to be safe: I suggest you to copy the backed up CID to your home PC and to several other places so you can't loose it.

Gesendet von meinem XT926
[Motorola Droid RAZR] scottdanpor:
Yeah under formats and mounts I formatted system, data, and cache. Then factory reset and wiped dalvik cache, for what it's worth. I'm sticking with slot 1 for now. Tried again with same result.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] PatrickDziura:
I have the CID erased. So I have only to flash the jb_boot.img?

Dtrail is your man :thumbup:

He packed the clean JB GSM Patch for us. The only thing i did was to add your stuff into the Build.prop, because we have to do this for every Rom and Version. Dtrail can't create an multifunctional GSM Patch because every Dev adds his own Build.prop Tweaks. So instead of writing him again and again i do it by myself and share it with the other GSM users. He's working hard on his own Rom so i just tried to help out a lil bit

I noticed the GS3 Themes & Apps forum has some threads with some nice Custom Splash Screens. Can they be used on the Note 2 without issue? Or do they need to be formatted for the size of our screens? I didn't find a thread for the Note 2 with different ones like the others have.

i had a custom one i was using with their png to splash script... but it failed when i tried flashing it on the note2. just thought id try. lol one of us should ask the dude that made that thread over there to tweak the script for our note. that would be a bonus.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LupineDream:
Go to the ASUS website and register your tablet, but be aware that it may take up to a week for them to put your data into their system so that you can unlock. I had the same problem, but try every day and if it doesn't work within a week all I can suggest is try to unlock connected to a different Wi-Fi network, I used my home network to register, and my folks' internet to unlock.

These may be purely circumstantial, all I can really say is be patient.

And it is not a problem with your MAC Address, several people have been screwed over by sending their tablets to ASUS and receiving them back unable to unlock or root, so beware.

ASUS does not provide support for unlocking your bootloader, since this action voids your warranty

Ever had a TF300 some time ago.

But since Bootloaderunlock went on the same day.

Then I'm going to a week-every day I try to open the stupid bootloader did ^ ^

Hope it's really the same problem as them in!

Had already tried it in a different WiFi network to provide.

but, unfortunately, the same network error!

It also had a second try TF300 16GB model and had the same problem again and network fault!

Assured me on the phone the staff from Asus.

it must be possible.

Asus nothing bordered on the bootloader.

I've been searching for an answer to this, but haven't found anything. Maybe I've missed something?

If I recall correctly, in 4.1 I was able to open the notifications by just tapping the notification area. It was very easy.

With the 4.2 phablet UI, not only are my notifications in the farther corner from my thumb, but I have to do a full swiping motion to open them. Half the time I don't go far enough, and it bounces shut again!

Is there any mod or app to allow opening the notifications with just a tap? Or maybe to change how far I have to drag for it to decide to stay open.

NOTE: I don't mean an app that adds a home-screen shortcut or widget. A)I don't need another icon on my home-screen, and B)I want to be able to do this from inside any app.

I found out new method of rooting 6.1.A.55. For me this method was easier than rooting .50 with bin4ry method and instaling prerooted .55 with cwm.

As always: MAKE BACKUP of Your data

I`m not responsible for bricking Your XPX :)

Thanx to: Bin4ry for his rooting method :)

You will need:

newest flashtool

LT26i_6.1.A.2.50_1257-5499_WORLD.ftf from jvsykes

LT26i 6.1.A.2.55 SG Generic (1257-6921).ftf from xdafileserver.nl

attached zip

BASICS about phones by DooMLoRD There also are links to guides to flashtool :)

Method:

1. Flash (with flashtool) LT26i 6.1.A.2.55 SG Generic (1257-6921) (no need to wipe data)

2. Let it boot, turn on data debugging.

3. Flash LT26i_6.1.A.2.50_1257-5499_WORLD EXCLUDING system.sin. (how to use flashtool:

4. launch Root_XpS.bat (from my zip)

5. turn on your phone and connect it to PC

6. After second reboot completes check for supersu in app list. if is missing - redo from step 4.

7. Flash (with flashtool) LT26i 6.1.A.2.55 SG Generic (1257-6921).ftf EXCLUDING system.sin. (no need to wipe data)

Lock Screen: Improves the lock screen performance with accidental wipe protection and rotating wallpapers provided through the Bing image of the day.

Marketplace and Xbox: Expands Windows Phone Marketplace and Xbox support to new countries and regions.

Fonts: Enhances the Chinese font and improves the appearance of Arabic and other languages.

Microsoft also notes that the 7.8 update includes many "other improvements" to Windows Phone in the change log.
