You can use use custom jb and ics on your R800x. But you cant you use custom gb on your r800x. The "x" is there for a reason no support from developers and because they dont have the "x" themselves. So what they are doing now is guess work. Like I said before you can install jb and ics on your R800x. You will have voice but no data or internet access from your provider.

I know that if you install a GSM rom on a CDMA phone that you can't get Data or internet, but I also know there are some roms like AOKPlay and CM9 that were written for GSM where you can use the AtariiKieran patch and use the full features on a CDMA phone. What I'm trying to understand is why that patch works for those ROMs..
[EVO 4G Accessories] Sry0fcr:
Our Evo's have been retired in favor of a Nexus 4 (his) and an Xperia SL (hers). The Evo's are getting a fresh flash of CM7 and being passed onto our boys so they'll hopefully leave my N7 alone. I don't care about colors or anything but I need 2 of them that aren't trashed.

If you have one for sale please let me know.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhiteNeo:
Hey people,

I've got a problem here...

Whenever one of the apps of my custom rom needs root permissions, I get the usual SuperSU-prompt. But even if I accept the request, the app won't gain root permissions.

This problem occurs with several different apps.

Is it possible that SuperSU does not have root access?

My rom has prober su symlinks in its updater-script..

At least I think so. :D

delete("/system/bin/su");

symlink("/system/xbin/su", "/system/bin/su");

set_perm(0, 0, 06755, "/system/xbin/su");

So, got any ideas how to solve my problem?

Thx in advance. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] post-mortem:
Is it working for some apps, and not for others? Or, are all apps not getting root access?

You could try updating the su binary, or fixing permission from recovery, for starters.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhiteNeo:
AW: [Q] Root permission granted - App still does not have root?

It is working for no app.

And the su binary should be alright, as I've taken it from a working rom of the same version.

Fixing permissions?

Hmm, I could try that.. Wait one. ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhiteNeo:
Seems there is no option to fix permissions in CWM Recovery v2.5.0.7.. :/

Anyway, I'd prefer to fix the issue in my rom.

So, what permissions does the su binary need in an updater script? :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhiteNeo:
Ahh, I've found the solution! :laugh:

My updater script looks like this:

[...]

delete("/system/bin/su");

symlink("/system/xbin/su", "/system/bin/su");

set_perm(0, 0, 06755, "/system/xbin/su

[...]

set_perm_recursive(0, 2000, 0755, 0755, "/system/xbin");

[...]

I think the issue was caused because set_perm_recursive overwrites the permissions for system/xbin/su..

So my superuser binary didn't have the right permissions.

Moving these lines at the end of my updater script solved the problem.

delete("/system/bin/su");

symlink("/system/xbin/su", "/system/bin/su");

set_perm(0, 0, 06755, "/system/xbin/su

By the way, fixing permissions in recovery would probably also fix this issue.. ;)

[LG Optimus 2x] Algotis:
Hi everyone!

I just flashed pengus's cm10, which is awesome, but I found an error.

I took some photos, browsing them in the gallery, when suddenly it closed.

I reopened the camer app, but it said:

Camer error- Cannot connect to camera.

I have to wait a minute or two to make it normally work.

Just before I flashed it i accidentally dropped my phone while sitting and it fell about 15 centimeters.

Can it be because of the drop, or is it a software related problem?

It happened 2 times today, but I was playing with the camera all day to find out when it does, but it does it randomly.

It happened too on ICS with the DjangoManouche X 1.4.

I can fully use the phone, but I am worrying becouse of this!

Is it a bug or something with my phone?

Thanks in advance!
[LG Optimus 2x] Jishnu Sur™:
Seem like an conflict.. Just go to settings>apps>all.. Then camera and clear data and stop it..

Give this a try..
[LG Optimus 2x] Algotis:
If I do this i still get the error, just have to wait a minute and than its working fine.

Is it a bug?
[LG Optimus 2x] Jishnu Sur™:
Seems like one.. But also looks like a conflict..
[LG Optimus 2x] Algotis:
Mmm. What do you mean under conflict?
[LG Optimus 2x] Jishnu Sur™:
Two apps having issue with each other's permissions..
[LG Optimus 2x] Algotis:
Soo gallery and camera because they are one app?

There is no other camera app installed.
[LG Optimus 2x] Jishnu Sur™:
I see, or else some file has gone missing.. You might not have done it.. I know that.. Try flashing the ROM again..
[LG Optimus 2x] Algotis:
Reflashed. same.

It happens to me on PA 2.6 build 06 and 07 too, so its confusing because it happens on other roms too...:confused:
[LG Optimus 2x] Jishnu Sur™:
yes sometimes..flash Any other ROM..
[LG Optimus 2x] Algotis:
First it appeared in djangomanouche. Than i flashed cm10 and pa 2.6 is the third rom where the problem appears.

I always did a fullwipe + format system before flashing and also did a backup :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Jishnu Sur™:
Try reverting partition using AIO tool again to ICS.. Then see..
[General Accessories] vectron:
I guess you can consider this as the first mod. Actually someone else done it before, but I'm elaborating on details with more pictures!

Yes, you can have GN2 in OEM Flip case going right into UAG case and it works! Of course, there are some limitations. You can flip the cover all the way around, unless you modify UAG case by cutting it's side (which nobody in their right mind going to do). And, because the left side is covered by flip case, UAG volume buttons will not be pushing directly on phone's volume, which makes it a lot harder to work BUT it WORKS!!! So here you go, an alternative to add flip cover to your UAG case:
[General Accessories] bkdodger:
Good idea and nice pics...I'd like to add my review from yesterday here so if it helps anyone good stuff.. I'd like to add day 2 and the feel is better IMO less slippery and fit seems to have settled in nicely..Keeper ..

What up peeps..Just wanted to give a small overview of the case I received today. I will test drive it for a few days(week) and let y'all know how it flows for me..Haha

Excuse my noobness to the video making world..

Good job, videos are great! I'm actually thinking now about getting Scout/black for my white GN2 as well.
[General Accessories] Double0EK:
Just a quick question.

Ive owned a few white and clear cases and all of them started yellowing/browning.. Do you think this will happen to this one also?
[General Accessories] bkdodger:
Haha.. Your pics make me want the white.. :D

《Take Note2 BK's here..》
[General Accessories] vectron:
Good question, but considering their make Navigator/white for iPhone 4 and S3 and I haven't read anybody complaining about those (since people been using it for awhile now), I assume it won't be an issue. I had a cheap clear case before, from ebay for a few bucks, after 3 days in my jeans pocket it got a shade of blue. I will give this case a benefit of a doubt that hard plastic material they use won't change the color. I guess time will tell, but like I said - this is an exactly the same material as older iPhone 4 and S3 cases and there is no complains about it. UAG for S3 has almost 980 reviews on Amazon with an average of 4.75 stars. I will take that as a positive sign ;)
[General Accessories] Double0EK:
Thanks. Never even thought to read the reviews on Amazon..
[General Accessories] mdt73:
Really liked your idea of adding the flip cover. After I colored the back of the orange back panel red, I threw the flip cover on and the new UAG case, and am lovin the results. Oh, I also used an exacto blade to remove the silver UAG lettering. Thanks for the great idea!
[General Accessories] marcus316:
Hey just ordered mines thanks to your good review
[General Accessories] IsolatedAbyss:
I started analyzing the case first hand and I'm beginning to appreciate UAG's design more and more. Some people complain about not getting their previous design you see on the S3, but I understand why UAG did this. It is all about trying to chip off as much excess weight from the case as possible without compromising protection and style. Throughout the case you will see that besides the vents, the insert is not a full piece but just covers the vents nicely (more weight off there), there are grooves, and the inside TPU back is also honey-combed, to reduce the overall weight as much as possible. With a big phone like Note 2, I think this is a very wise decision by them. If they used the old design, the case would probably be a bit heavier than what we have now.

Overall I think it is a great case. Possibly the best case out there that scores in every category in style, protection & functionality in my humble opinion. 9.5/10
[General Accessories] rlee008:
@vectron, i appreciate your review. its basically the same thing i would have said i f i did a review on this case. at the end of the day this case is a great investment. functionallity, quality & great design are all incorporated into this and you will not be let down. i couldnt be happier with it.
[General Accessories] IamPro:
Anyone try to use it with the Smart Dock?
[General Accessories] garyart1:
Didn't work with smart dock. It would fit in if you force it but doesn't go in far enough to make any connection. Also will not work in the battery charger. Here it fits in but falls forward. Price you pay for protection I guess. No big deal to me, I will just take case off when I put in dock. Now if I was using dock every day for charging, it may be a bigger deal.
[General Accessories] artofwar:
Can any comment on the comparisonf of this UAG case with the likes of OTterbox Commuter and Ballistic SG series in terms of weight, protection, ease of use and slippery feel, etc?
[General Accessories] sianaka:
Are you talking about the spare battery charger dock?
[General Accessories] mdt73:
My fondness of the UAG Navigator is starting to waver a bit. I am realizing it makes the phone quite a bit more wide, almost to the point I don't like the way it feels in my hand. As odd as this sounds, I might go back to the hyperion extended battery and case (newer style) as that feel is about as solid as I have found when it comes to cases on the Note 2. Plus, for about one milimeter difference, I am packing a 6200mAh battery, and the phone is quite a bit less wide in my hand. The attached photo shows the height difference between the hyperion and the UAG.
[General Accessories] sofia-captivate:
How are you guys adding the flip cover on this case?
[General Accessories] mdt73:
It fits perfectly. The only problem is the cover itself doesn't have a lot of room to move, so it won't open all the way, making typing with your left hand sort of cumbersome. Just install the flip cover, then the UAG case.
[General Accessories] vectron:
Yep, Note 2 with flip cover fits right into the UAG case. Take a look at my Post#2 in this thread, you can see from the pictures it fits right in, although with a few limitations like can flip the cover all the way back and volume buttons need to be pushed harder since you pushing on them through the flexible side of flip case.
[General Accessories] vectron:
I handled a lot of cases for comparison, and have noticed with UAG bumper is not as rounder around the outer edge. That creates a feeling of it being wider by a probably 1mm or more when in your hand. Personally, it doesn't bother me, I don't have the biggest hands to begin with. I have been through slimmest Case-Mate to widest Defender and everything in between with premium and ebay cases. Because the outer shell and sides of UAG made out of hard plastic which feels a little on a slippery side to handle (and it will wear off with time), this bumper outer edge makes a perfect GRIP when you handle the case. There is no question about added protection which gives you a piece of mind, but extra grip is definitely a bonus with outer edges being rougher and flat rather than inward rounded.

With regard to other question posted about Commuter and Ballistic comparison, UAG will be the lightest and easiest to use because it composite one piece rather than inner and outer shells like the other two. Level of protection will be the same due to a decent lip/bumper, quality plastic shell, and better quality inner rubber material. With reference to grip, Commuter will be the worst with all around slippery outer shell (both in your hands and easily slides with you put it on the surface). I never handle Ballistic, but from other reviews out of the box it will be less slippery in your hand, but as I mentioned above the design of UAG lip/bumper compensates for a better grip, IMHO. I know you can probably smell my biased opinion, but I'm also trying to be fair :)
[General Accessories] sofia-captivate:
Do I have to cut something or glue something? Or the while Samsung flip covers fit in there with the back part? Cause in none of the pic I see the back part of flip cover.
[General Accessories] vectron:
It's just a regular flip cover with a back panel replacing battery cover. If you can see from my picture through the grills - mint color back cover shows up. No need to cut or glue anything. Just keep in mind limitations listed in previous posts since you can't flip the cover all the way to the back. For that you will need to cut the side of UAG case. Otherwise, you can use it as is.
[General Accessories] vectron:
Still trying to decide between Navigator (white) and Scout (black) for my white Note 2. Since my OP has pics with Navigator, I'm adding a new set of pics with Scout. Maybe some will find it useful for their own comparison.
[General Accessories] opasha:
i have to completely agree with you, bro. my UAG was superlight. i ended up also buying my brother and father a UAG case for their S3's. They love them as well. I agree with many people that it is pricey...but you are getting what you pay for. The added protection is solid, and the buttons are super easy to press. That was one thing i really liked about it because these covered buttons on many cases are horrible. I'm a review freak- literally i read and reread all over the web via google, youtube, etc finding the ins and outs of things i buy. UAG is def a keeper. i just need to find my camera so i can make reviews of all my cases like you did. thanks again for the reviews and informative threads bro. it helps a lot!

I know it was already mentioned before by another forum user, but I want to confirm from my recent Seidio CONVERT REVIEW that CONVERT holster and UAG case is a match made in heaven!!!!!!!!!!

I will take a few detailed pictures and post it tonight. But holy crap, it fits perfectly! Out of all of my cases, I dig UAG the most because of its back design and also protection :) But now an ability to stuff it in a decent holster, its just an icing on a cake. I would never consider myself as someone carrying Note 2 on a holster; as my wife said to me that Defender looked like a laptop on a belt lol!!! But in this case I will make an exception because it sits secure (with a spring loaded latch) and the back is exposed thus making it less geeky :) Anyway, will post pictures later.
[General Accessories] vectron:
As promised, here are the detailed pictures of how UAG case looks with CONVERT holster. Like I said, a match made in heaven ;) Beside a perfect fit, this holster has spring loaded latch which can be locked to prevent accidental opening.
[General Accessories] jondevere:
nice

looks decent
[General Accessories] vectron:
Forgot to mention, the fit is tight, no movement at all!
[General Accessories] Double0EK:
Can the UAG fit facing forward?
[General Accessories] vectron:
Nope, only facing in. Their clip is not designed to be locked as kickstand because CONVERT has a cut through for SURFACE kickstand. So, the design is to keep the phone facing in. If you think about it, that's an extra layer of screen protection on your belt or if you take it off and toss it on the table, etc.
[General Accessories] adlzian:
If there was a video on how this id buy it. I need to see it a little better. Besides where can I get the convert holster?
[General Accessories] Phyzicx:
I just got mine today and it fits very good and feels very well in my hand! My gf said that it looks sexy. :D
[General Accessories] vectron:
You can buy it as a kit here: http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung-galaxy-note-2-convert-add-on-kit-black-p/bd2-hk4ssgt2-bk.htm , I know you don't care about other parts, but it's worth it just for that holster. I'm actually getting an adhesive credit card pouch to attach to the holster inside since there is a gap between it and screen of the phone. Would be awesome to use it for driver license and credit card and maybe a few bills :) Once I get it and test it out, will update this post.

For some reason they don't offer it through Amazon yet (convert kit), where usually you can get it a lot cheaper. Why don't you contact Seidio customer support and ask if they offer any discounts when you buy on-line, so you don't pay MSRP price? I will try to contact them as well to see if they have any coupons.
[General Accessories] yankees45us:
You can get the convert holster at Amazon, or directly from seidio. Sometimes you may find it at best buy under the platinum series cases. I will definitely give this case a shot if I don't end up selling my note 2 for the s4.

Oh forgot to mention, I was actually planning to start YT channel with review of all my cases/accessories, but haven't got around yet. Let me now if there is a specific picture shot or angle you want me to take. I would think pictures will be better than video for fitment details anyway...

Well all im worried about is the fit. How does the case snap on to the holster? I dont wanna worry about losing my phone. Especially at my job where my holster gets bumped into everything. ..lol
[General Accessories] yankees45us:
Never mind, Amazon only has the convert combo holster together not separate. The official seidio website also doesn't sell it by itself. The cheapest is for the convert add-on kit that's $29.95. I guess you could buy that and then resell the case.

Thank you very much sir. I believe i will jump on this case cus i think the cover flaps from the commuter is putting pressure on my charge port an headphone jack.. Might just be over thinking this but it would give me piece at mind when charging my phone. Plus the commuters slippery an honestly a bit of a Ugo compared to the Uag.

[General Accessories] vectron:
I agree, micro-usb port cover flap on Commuter is thick and puts pressure on the connector. I don't own Commuter, the one in a picture I tested in Sprint store. I did have Defender (similar port cover), and it was rough on a connector since I use my GN2 in a car as GPS every day connected to a charger. Of course, you can also cut it out. Slippery back and generic look was also a no-go for me.
[General Accessories] vectron:
Here is IMHO a must have MOD with CONVERT holster :) This is adhesive credit card pouch (3 pack for $5.99 from Amazon. Although designed for iPhone size, it fits perfectly inside of the holster, sticks very well even so it's not a flat but rather textured grid surface. Material is stretchy and soft, and easily holds 3 cards and a few bills. When phone is in, it doesn't even touch the screen, and even if it does - material is very soft. So now, you have your phone in a holster and no need for a wallet if you throw in your driver license, credit and atm card, and some money!

This is how it looks with UAG case:
[General Accessories] opasha:
@vectron - bro, that's a solid setup!
[General Accessories] vectron:
Once it gets warmer, I'm actually considering clipping this holster on my belt or maybe just hanging off my front pocket. I never thought I would actually carry my Note 2 on a belt lol!!! I remember when I tried Defender, it really felt like a laptop on your belt. I might even try something like a lanyard around the belt clip to carry it around my neck. I think the combination of exposed back of UAG case and cutout shape of this holster makes it kind of cool. The adhesive pouch with id/cc/money is just another bonus to leave a wallet at home and just carry everything in one bunch, especially when you don't have pockets with mesh sport shorts...
[General Accessories] opasha:
Yeah, that's true - the Note 2 is big but worth it - that's also why I have an 18.4" laptop :D. However, wearing it around the neck? That would look very interesting, haha. My Case-Mate Tough that came in was not completely done right so I asked them to just send me the standard (grippy) black/black version - they did without any charge (great customer service). I actually like it a lot better than my custom ones. I currently have that and am sporting a TGT money wallet (currently holding two credit cards and my license. It's really convenient. It's actually the same size as the the card adhesives and holds my stuff really well. I can carry around my phone without the weird feeling of a pouch on the back now, so it's pretty nice. My favorite cases right now are the UAG, Case-Mate Tough (original), and my Duzign cases (though they don't offer the best protection, they are the best feeling/looking out of the slim cases I own/have seen- plus they fit perfectly without damaging my phone).
[General Accessories] Tsubasa9:

[General Accessories] Optimistic Pessimist:
Measurement of case, i.e. width, etc

Thanks for the review, very informative.

Was wondering, if you could provide a measurement of the width/height of the actual case.

The reason I ask is that I am currently using a RAM mount X-grip universal mount and my N7105 with a cheap TPU case (which has a width of 8.5cm or 3.346inches) fits in it quite well, despite supposedly accepting a max of 3.25inches.

I've tried the UAG website, but that provides next to no information at all, as well as search of the threads here on XDA, and got nothing.
[General Accessories] vectron:
Got digital caliper at home for a more precise measurement (sh!t, I even got a digital scale just for these damn case review lol!!!). At work now and here are the approximate measurement (only have access to metric ruler) across faceplate for the widest part of the bumper: 158 mm x 87mm so that's about 6.2" x 3.4"
