Alright cool.

Sorry for the hassle, I just can't happen to find it lol.

Look for 3M automotive accent vinyl in carbon fibre

Here's a quick look at what you can do with the Anker extended battery/case and a bumper...

Before

After

Carbon Gear is where you can get one.

They are a little more expensive and I'm sure you can ebay it but I live not to far from where Carbon Gear is at. It ran me about $15 shipped maybe a little more but it was around there. On ebay you can search for "3m Vinyl carbon" and you should get a ton of hits.

You'll need Patience, an Exacto knife, scissors, and a hair drier. Mine came out almost the same as the posts above, he just beat me to the punch. lol

1. The Patience is self explanatory

2. Put the sticker on the case, make sure to cut more than you need for "shrinkage", I gave myself about an inch or 2 on all sides.

3. Use the hair drier to form the sticker around the edges and nooks and crannies.

4. When satisfied let the sticker cool off and use the exacto to cut the excess off.

This is easier said than done but if you screw up a 12" x 12" sheet should give you enough to do this three time. I got it on the first time and my only advice is to take your time. This is the best way to do it because no one makes an extended door in patterns yet nor can I find a back door by itself.

I would also recommend not using the aluminum bumper with the rubber buttons. While it does work it's a super tight fit and while adjusting the front sliding frame I ripped off my JLG protector. Luckily my MIME SP just came in the mail today. ROFL.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mdt73:
Google.com is a neat tool for phone research, fyi.

That being said, if you have the new Hyperion battery with cover, I think it will be much more difficult to cut a skin. I went with the hyperion case that was designed to go with the newer battery cover, and love it. Feels solid, isn't slippery, well worth the purchase! (also allows me to retain NFC)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] devynbf:
Please only reply with useful information.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] devynbf:
Thanks man.

It will also be my first time attempting this so I will do my best.

And yea, I wanted to do the carbon fiber back door with a cool metal bumper of some sort.

Just ordered some vinyl so we'll see how it turns out :D

Here's a link to the sweet armor and ext battery post for when you go to get your bumper. Make sure to get the right one cause the one I have is really tight and is a B1t@h to get off when I need to mess with something.

Thanks mate. I'll definitely try and do a nice job. Will post here once I do one.

I got inspired by this mod and did it on my oem battery back door. I must say I love the results!

It looks amazing and I am probably gonna do it again when I pull the trigger on the Anker battery-case combo. Thanks for that! :)

Very nice.

How much did the vinyl cost you?

Can you link it to me please?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] h3ck:
Not much at all. $2.95US I just used the sample size and it's more than enough.

Looks great! It's what we do in our car club when someone wants to redo their speedometer, dash, or interior. Not super expensive, relatively easy, and makes it look great! :D

I finally got some pics. Sorry about the low res cam shots, used my crappy one connected to my computer. I lent my "camera" (HTC Amaze 4G) to a buddy.

Sorry for the huge pics. :P

Here are some pics to show my setup which works great. MIME SP, ZOMGO gunmetal bumper, Anker battery, Gunmetal Carbon Fiber Look 3M Vinyl Spiegen Home button.

Sorry for the huge pictures... :(
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] devynbf:
Very cool.

I ordered vinyl and that exact same bumper today.

Will post photos once I apply.

But my photos will look exactly like these haha.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] h3ck:
Does the button mod make a huge difference or is it mostly for the look?

Sent from my Note II
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] h3ck:
Just ordered 2 new vinyls blue and black (not sure which one I'll use yet), and the Extended battery. The bumper case looks nice and so does the button, but I'm going to see how it is with just back cover first. I was looking for the bumper with buttons included, are people with those bumpers finding it hard to access buttons?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] kminatta:
what button mod? has anyone noticed a drop in GPS, cell, or WiFi signal with the bumper cases?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Ghost_1:
I did it because without it you can still hit your home button but it is a little recessed. You can get away without it but it makes the home button even out with the Mime SP.

---------- Post added at 06:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:23 PM ----------

I get the same reception or I think I do at least. If it has dropped it is minimal. I've had two bumpers one ebay special with rubber buttons and the Zomgo.

I'm not uber crazy to check but I've been using Network Signal Info Pro to watch the dBm and I haven't noticed anything crazy low or high when using the cases. I still get the same numbers with or without the bumpers. I really have a hard time taking the bumpers on and off so I can't really get you the final numbers. I can tell you in daily usage it works fine.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vagelis:
The cellular signal may or may not be affected, depending on the provider you're using and the signal coverage strength.

What will be affected is the GPS and its ability to maintain a lock.

There have been many threads and users reporting this.

If that is not important for dally use, aluminum bumpers offer good protection.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Ghost_1:
I use my GPS all the time, I have not noticed any lock issues. The GPS locks on fast and it doesn't get squirrel-ly on me. Maybe that's just me though. Lol :D
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] devynbf:
I just applied my carbon vinyl and bumper, will post pics tomorrow.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jproy12:
Alright, with some research, I wasn't able to find anything related to the GS3, I have this "Media" that is the top thing using the battery, and was wondering what it was:

Anyone know what it is?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Manufactured consent:
I think it might be boot animation...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jproy12:
Forgot to add that I'm on SlimRom RC2 and KT747 Kernel, basically everything is freshly loaded, since I loaded everything last night, from a full clean wipe.

Can you show the betterbatterystats stats

---------- Post added at 01:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:01 PM ----------

At first sight, I would say that you have an app that is loading ads nonstop. Since this media is for download.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
Are you using a external sd card? If so, it might need formating.

Also, betterbatterystats can help you narrow down what is running none stop like this.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jproy12:
Will do, which one do I post? Partial Wakelock, Kernel Wakelock?

Will give that a try!

Merci tous le monde! (wrote it in french since 2 of the poster are from QC!!)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
I'd like to see alarms (you have to be rooted and allow it in the settings).

De rien ;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jproy12:
Yep, it's also allowed, I'll just post a screenshot of everything! I charged my phone back up to 100%, and will post the results in 15mins or so, by then it's been about 1hr off charge, on stand-by, only turned on the phone to delete an email.

JP
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jproy12:
As promissed, here are the screenshots, battery dropped 1% in 1hr, not bad, last night it was almost 25% in 7hrs...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
I would ask for one more screeny, hit the media scanning (hit the text, not the icon) one in wakelocks and post a screeny of the popup (if there's one). That will give the process that is running and most likely will tell me (us) enough to know which app it's coming from.

That being said, did you try formating your external sd? Also, did you try booting without it to see if media still goes nuts?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jproy12:
I'm formatting the SD card as I type... As for the other screenshot, is this the one in Partial Wakelocks?

Thanks for the help, but I saw a huge battery drain overnight, I am connected to my wifi at home as well as bluetooth with my home phone... This is where I saw a drain of almost 25% over 6-7hrs

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jproy12:
No it wasn't yesterdays download, can I just download and flash this one over the one I have? Or do I need to do a clean install, wipe and all? I like to do clean installs and all.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] liltitiz:
For kt747 you can just flash then wipe cache,dalvik and fix permissions. But clean install is always the best
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jproy12:
Yea, doing that at the moment, I like to do clean installs to eliminate any problems I could have during a dirty flash...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jproy12:
Alright, here's some screenshots after about 12hrs of little to no use, roughly 7-8hrs in there that it was overnight (and during this time it was connected to WiFi and Bluetooth).

The remaining time was my commute to work and a couple emails here and there. Roughly 14% battery loss in about 12hrs, is that bad?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
That's actually really good battery life. I believe your problem is fixed.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jproy12:
I am also hoping! Did a full wipe, and clean install, formatted the SD card, and did everything possible!

Hello everybody.

I wanna post modded FXP for locked bootloader.

!Warning: First boot is very, very slow, can take 5-7 minutes.

So have patience.

It is not my rom, and the bootloader patch isn't mine. I just applied the patch on the rom.

Link for ROM: http://fastupload.ro/4058dce688bd93c07fed0ff4b654f941.html (It's FXP 205)

Bugs:

Same as FXP.

Light bar doesn't work.

You tell me.

- Audio skipping in power amp and some other players( First reported by Hubaqu on page 5, also reported by two others) Possible fix: Increase audio buffer in power amp or other players that support increasing the buffer and/or set minimum processor frequency to 400 instead of 200.

If you wanna patch roms that only work on unlocked bootloader use this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2134440

Have fun!

~~~!!!!! Update: Made FXP 207(LiGux) work on locked bl: http://fastupload.ro/36d59e15fea2cdff1c5c6373e7d01493.html V1.0 ( Warning - Bloatware ahead)

NEW : http://fastupload.rol.ro/85b20afd93f8ebb6b65e19bacb354bd5.html V1.1 - Most of junk/bloatware has been removed.

BUGS: Same as FXP

WiFi bug (First time you activate it the system reboots, but then it works)

Led Bar doesn't work

You tell me.

Link for original LiGux(unlocked bl.) rom: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2055679 . Press thanks on the dev's original post to show your support for him!

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] xnd_bogdan:
Instruction for installation:

Things needed:

1. CWM Recovery ( You can find thread on how to install it, you will need your phone to be rooted!)

2. Rooted phone

First, you download zip from first post(any of them), next, you extract the zip, and you will find another zip.

Then, you put that zip on phone(Storage)

Then, you wipe data(Factory reset)

Then, install Zip from SD card as if you would do it on any other rom.

Reboot, and wait for OS to boot up.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] xnd_bogdan:
well that's strange.

Try to flash this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1677176

It reduces the audio latency.

Also, in power amp you'll find audio buffer size. Try to increase it a bit. That should get you out of trouble.

I hope i've helped you.

Tell me if these tips make the audio skipping stop.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Hubaqu:
The problem still persists now after locking the device the sound lags a bit and the music stops and when I unlock the device the song continues and poweramp FC do you think this is a ram problem? Because the device becames slower...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Hubaqu:
This happens when I try to open settings!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] xnd_bogdan:
On other music apps like Winamp Pro(Pro version has equaliser) do you get audio skipping?

I haven't used PowerAmp on the rom, but i did use Winamp pro and it's lag free for me.
