Very Doubtful - If your phone was still switched on you could have installed planb.

You can still try to do that and wait until someone else puts in a new sim card.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] :
I recently saw that HD Widgets released a new theme pack that is still under development.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDIxMiwiY2xvdWR0di5oZHRoZW1lcy5iZXRhIl0.

The widgets are very nice, but if you try and use them on a ROM at the standard DPI, you will find only the 1x1 widget available in the Colourform theme.

To get them working, you have two options:

1) In HD Widgets settings you can enable all of the widget sizes that are not enabled by default. HD Widgets determines your screen size on first load and disables a bunch of the widget sizes.

2) If you are using a ROM like Jelly Beer, you can set the DPI to 213, for example, for HD Widgets and a different set of widget sizes became available, including the rest of the Colourform widgets.

I just thought I would post this to help someone out who might be wondering why they can't use the all of the Colourform widget sizes.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Alaris:
Title says it all, been in the fence about rooting and wanna to get some input from this great community! I have so doubts about rooting only because I can't seem to shake the fact that I think it makes my phone easier for people to hack into. Everything I ha e been read says that as long as you trust that app that you are give SU permission to I should be fine. Is this true?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Alaris:
Also I know bricking is possible, but to brick my phone permanently is hard to do right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jdkadius:
Your phone only becomes more hackable if you allow it. Just make sure you know which apps require superuser access and you should be fine. Just follow the walkthroughs on how to do it. It's super easy. As far as I know, it's tough to brick your phone if you follow the walkthroughs.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Alaris:
K let me throw this at you guys! Rom manger or goo manger?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jdkadius:
I have Goo Manager, which runs TWRP and it seems to be the recovery of choice for a lot of the ROM developers for the Note 2. Works great, easy to learn and use. I've never used ROM Manager so I can't say anything about it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Alaris:
So I'm assuming that rooting with Exynosabuse then installing twrp with goo manger is my best bet? Also if I installed an unofficial Rom is it safe to using banking apps on it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jooosty:
I went with that set up. As far as unofficial roms idk!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jdkadius:
Well, it's up to you to decide if it's safe to use banking apps on a custom ROM. My belief is that if you use your bank's official app, they should have safeguards in place to prevent unauthorized collection of your data.

Which version is yours: QHD or FWVGA??

If you have the fwvga, you can follow the steps I wrote here:

I followed the procedure in the post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=36463904&postcount=43

to backup my ROM.

I then flashed the boot and recovery from post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=36882270&postcount=62

(cwm_recovery.img and cwm_boot.img) with the SP Flash Tool.

It was the first time I flashed a ROM and it took me a while to realize that I would need to map my scatter file with the two images and then click download to flash the phone... I eventually made it

The problem was that, once in the CWM, the volume buttons didn't work.... But the menu button worked as volume -. So I managed to install the cwm-supersu from the SD Card. As the volume keys still didn't work in Android, I flashed back my backed up boot and recovery images and eventually the phone was rooted and the volume keys worked.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jramju:
Thanks a lot. Sorry, I'm a newbie in these matters

Then, all I have to do is:

- Install the Correct drivers for flashing into PC.

- Install Flashing tool into PC

- Install CMW into the phone by flashing tool. (absolutely neccessary?)

- Root the phone (Root file by CWM)

is OK and in this order?

Which Scatter file have you used? ( have to search the scatter file into the phone?)

Thanks again for your support

---------- Post added at 09:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:05 AM ----------

Thanks for your response. Mine is QHD. I am newbie in these matters and I have not done any flashing before. So, I would prefer a root method without the need of flashing the phone, but I think that this possibility is not available for JB 4.1.1 at this moment. I have to read much more about the flashing process before do it because I have read that this process is very dangerous if you do not know what you are doing.

Try on needrom site the following phone:

Use SP_MDT and select different sensors and camera untill you get your combination

Probably the correct driver will be LQ053HNYP32B or LQ053HNYP32A

If you need a rooted rom let me know, I have a mix but still no ALS_PS and light sensor

Also home back keys do not work but bottom of screen does the task (like a tablet)

I rooted the phone and put back boot & recovery from needrom.

Do you have any CWM that work for this phone?

Also I lost a lot of ROM space.... Before I managed to have 2.5G for installing apps and now I only have 1G....

I tried to run the "Mt657xRepartition_EN.apk" to have again the 2.5Gb but I killed the phone :( It didn't boot again. I had to reintall everything again.

Do you have any idea how to increase the internal partition?

I have run into few people with this problem so I'm making this guide to help anyone with this problem. You may have to reset kindle in order to access a different app since there is no navigation bar.

1: First you have to have a file explorer installed. Go to amazon app store and download es file explorer ( you should be able to get there without status and navigation bar ) or use this version http://db.tt/hMeT0kvg.

2: Now download this adw launcher http://db.tt/ezZp558n it is an old free version but works with or without root.

3: Now go to your file explorer and go to your download folder and find the adw launcher apk file you just downloaded and install it.

4: Once installed open the launcher and go to the app drawer from there you should see a settings icon. Press on it to access your system menu.

WARNING: This next step involves a factory restore and you will loose anything on your kindle. Everything will need to be Re downloaded and installed. You will also have to re root if you had root before.

5: Now in the system settings you need to go to device then factory restore. You will need to have your battery level at a minimum of 40% or you'll have to wait till it reaches that before you can factory restore.

Once restored you should be good to go.

Please give thanks to those who help. Everyone here helps and devotes there time to each other. Especially the developers. A thanks goes along way and is much appreciated.

Been trying to figure this out for awhile, and rather than derailing the "Post your Razr M Home Screens" thread, I'd figure this would be more suitable for it's own thread in the Q&A section.

I'm looking for a method to transfer apps from the 8GB internal storage (stored on /data/apps) to the 32GB sdcard. A problem I have read from many other users is the lack of storage space and the inability to easily transfer the apps from the Applications settings (as in previous devices/ROMs).

Coronado is Dead recommended Directory Bind

Dyelon recommended Link2SD

based upon reviews, it looks like "app2sd" does not work for the M.

I tried directory bind, but ran into some issues where the app could not find my /data/app folder. For the Link2Sd, looks like I need to create another partition on my sdcard.

also, I found this youtube video for directory bind, but it's for the GS3 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8PyqCOpERA

Suffered a nice fall today. Was walking looking at an email. Shoulder checked a massive column in a mall. Silver Bezel on bottom took a nice ding. Rest of phone is fine, no cracks to front or back. Ordered a diztronic case. If it wasn't for the exposed top and bottom of the case it would have been fine. It did however protect the two most important parts of the phone. So it gets an A- in its short time of use. Lesson learned, pay attention when walking.

I even removed some of videos to decrease the memory and get the sd card and the sim card out , but also no improvement !!

P.S. The phone was some times previously give me a crashed touch wiz home messages and some apps were crashed also , so I guessed it may be the launcher so I tried other launchers or may be the apps & uninstalled them but still I found the same problem .
