hkpilot: I would say that you did miss checking a box, or similar:

Using Fireflash entails three check boxes and two files typically.

Check bootloader (If In Red)

Click Not flashed boot and select freedom boot.img

Check apply Stack

Click Not flashed Recovery and select recovery.img

Check disable recovery update

That is it: Execute flash,install script at the bottom of the screen and your are done in 10 seconds.

If a step is missed and you are in a bootloop, the only way out is to get into fastboot and flash a set of recovery or stock images

(bootloader, boot, and recovery) You probably do not need to flash the system partition.

Turn off the tablet while connected to the PC and type this:

fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product

You will see "Waiting for device" at the prompt.

Turn on the tablet and as it starts to boot up, you might see the tablet do into fastboot.

If the tablet will go into fastboot, you are saved......

You can then take some time and located a set of images and flash them to the tablet using fast boot commands.

First step is to confirm you can get the tablet into fastboot.

I confirmed I can get into fastboot using the fastboot command when 2ndbootloader is installed but, not if on a regular stock Kindle OS.

If the fastboot command sequence does not work, you will need a fastboot cable.

Thank you very much galearned, I will try the fastboot with the normal USB cable first, actually I have already placed the order for a fastboot cable, hope I will salvage my poor Kindle. Thank you very much again for the helps!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ashan85:
Hi folks. I have sold my Galaxy s2 more from an eager impulse to upgrade, and I have been rolling without a phone now because I couldn't simply decide which to get. At some point I even regret I have sold the s2 which was perfectly fine. But now since I did it I said at least to make a substantial upgrade. I have a micro sim with unlimited data until next year in may so I won't upgrade until then, even more, I would like to keep it longer than that.

I narrowed my choices to

S3 (used grade B - 260£),

Nexus 4 (new with 1 year warranty - 288£)

and Note 2 (used grade C - 305£, or 320£ grade B)

the used phones come with 60 days warranty only, no box or other accesories except USB cable (basically phones from recycling websites, so in good condition)

I think I took out s3 out of the list now..because for 20£ more you can get new N4

so it's between n4 and n2

I don't mind about the storage but it is a + obviously

I like to have good battery (when travelling or using google maps I don't want to get in trouble, though there are those mobile chargers available)

I used the n2 in the shop and I could control 85% of the touchscreen with one hand.

I like being able to read kindle, kobo ebooks on the phone, and having a swiss knife like n2 is

I like music and podcasts.

I am worried about N4: back of glass, god knows how many times I dropped s2 or bumped it., although I think aftermarket backcover will be available or could stick a dbrand skin

battery,

battery: from what I've red it looks like it's average, although pretty sure it's better than my used s2

Worried about N2

only 60 days warranty

price is higher, even if used condition (grade C might have scratches and scuffs but I heard very good reviews and it generally goes one class better)

worried about size, is it more fragile because the size? can I use it while running listening to music?

It really is a though call...but I need a phone, thought to rebuy a s2 or a htc one s/x (used of course) but considering I will be using this for more than a year with full blown unlimited internet, I might as well make a significant upgrade...

Which one should I get?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nc35:
I was luck to use a Galaxy Nexus 4 and then move on to the SGN II

The Note is great doesn't take long to get used to the size.

Downside to the Nexus as I see it... Not as much support/custom roms etc

The Nexus is limited IMO - no external storage, no removable battery. 16GB fills up really quickly and streaming isn't always an option (think big games and satnav)

So other than the obvious tech spec differences for me the Note was the way forward.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ashan85:
thanks for your input

What most worries me is the warranty. Although I did not have any problem with s2 that would require RMA or servicing, is the N2 a sturdy device that doesn't develop faults along the way?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UtkarshGupta:
Not if you update to the latest samsung rom.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artorelis:
Choose Samsung Galaxy Note 2 because it has:

1. Great battery

2. Large/Amazing screen (reading books through Kindle or Kobo is just fantastic :))

3. Removable battery

4. Micro SD slot

5. Project Butter (everything goes very smooth, no lag)

Plus, s-pen, good camera.

I've had 2 note 2's and haven't had a single issue in the months since owning.

I own both a note 2 & a nexus 4, I much prefer the note 2 and use it 95% of the time. It is a brilliant all rounder & don't think any other phone on the market presently beats it for looks or overall performance, IMO.

Get the note 2 you won't regret it at all

This is a new concept to me but what exactly are the differences in conditions between these grades?

Sent from the rabbit hole.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ashan85:
I will copy paste here...They are from recycle companies that buy mobiles, it is a bit risky but considering the phone has been on the market for only 4 months a grade c might be in reality grade b. There is also free returns 7 days policy.

What does Grade A mean?

•	The phone is used but in excellent condition.

•	Cosmetically the phone will show no signs of use, there will be no scratches,

cracks or scuffs to the screen or casing.

•	It’s been fully tested*, is in full working order and has been restored to the latest operating system.

What does Grade B mean?

•	The phone is used and in good condition.

•	Cosmetically the phone will show signs of slight use, including two or three minor scratches to the screen and casing. It wont have cracks on the screen or casing.

•	It’s been fully tested*, is in full working order and has been restored to the latest operating system.

What does Grade C mean?

•	The phone is used and in average condition.

•	Cosmetically the phone will show signs of use, including some scratches and

scuffs to the screen and casing. It wont have cracks on the screen or casing.

•	It’s been fully tested*, is in full working order and has been restored to the latest operating system.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bushako:
Ah in that case I'd settle for the Nexus 4 if i were you., the Note 2 is a great device with much more functionality but reality is there is nothing like getting a phone right out of the box Atleast in my case and that alone would be my deciding factor besides the fact that it uses pure android which Is a plus for me too.

I've had a lot of bad experiences with used phones in the past and since then I've always opted for brand new. However, if you do decide to get the Note2 then I can add that incase the housing is pretty bad, since you've mentioned it's a grade c, then you can easily replace the housing for as cheap as 10bucks from www.cnn.cn. Their products are of high quality standard and very cheap.

Tough one really. It keeps bouncing in my head on and off... I know I can't buy anything better than these with 300£, it is basically a real upgrade mid contract with just a small cost. I also want to use it for more than one year this time.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fade2black101:
Hi

You should take a look at Panamoz.com.

They specialise in camera lenses but offer really good prices on phones which are imported from Honk Kong and with 1 year warranty. You can get a new LTE S3 for just a bit more than a Nexus, etc.

I know people who have used the site and they all recommend it.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fade2black101:
Okay disregard that.

It seems to have jumped up over £200!

Must have been a long discount they had over the holiday period when I last checked.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xhizorsz:
Note 2:

+/-big screen

+more storage

+bigger battery (but also higher energy consumption through display)

+SPEN extremly useful in combination with FreeNote at University | AND try out Swype, swiping is perfect for SPEN

Nexus 4:

+newest firmware

+feels noble/high quality (unibody and glass front + back)

+more custom ROMs

-storage

I would prefer the NII mainly beacause of the big screen with AMOLED technology. I tested both devices and felt in love with the NII.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ashan85:
THE Note 2 came yesterday. Unfortunately it is mint on the case, but has 3 scratched, visible with the screen off, visible on white background, one 1 inch long, and 2 small, and then there are 4 more small scratches, the ones that I don't mind....quite a good condition for a grade C, I would say others would sell this as very good condition.

I think I will try to exchange it with a C or chuck 15£ more for a B; Or shouldn't I? If i put a screen protector will it make me forget about those? Does a scratched screen weaken the gorilla glass 2?

Bad about it is that the back panel creacks and flexes making sounds.

Oh..and the titanium color is beautiful.

It is true how everybody said, at first I was shocked about the size of it, and felt intimadet a bit. I am quite tall, 6.3. my hands are regular size but I have very thin fingers, but after one day I am sold, I was ready to run for a s3 or n4 because of the size, but now it doesn't feel like that anymore. The money are well spent I think, could keep this for 2 years no doubt, only badpart is I need to buy an mp3 player for running.

Battery is a WOW factor, 20h 22m on battery (8 hours from the night losing 1%/hour) screen time 4h 39m and still got 29% left. A 1hour movie episode on bbc iplayer (wifi stream) took 9% of the battery!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bushako:
Yea just get a good quality anti glare screen protector and it should hide the scratches well. I hope.you get to enjoy it the way it's meant to be.

Sent from the rabbit hole.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkinners:
hmm I don't see the competition here.

The ONLY reason you would choose N4 over Note 2 is you can't handle the screen size.

Like you want one hand operation at all time or you put your phone in your pants pocket but your pants are all has incredibly small pockets.

This is the only reason I can think of people would choose N4 over Note 2.

Other than this, I think Note 2 superior to N4 on every aspect.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ashan85:
Thanks, it was more about the budget. But as you can see, even a used note 2 is dearer than n4.

I am experiencing a problem with another device with a stock/vanilla 4.1.1 ROM (ASUS PadFone 2) with creating a transparent status bar. I was hoping some experts here could point me into the right direction...

I can't seem to get my status bar to be transparent. I can change it from black to whatever color I like, blue for example:

- Image

- Image

(Yeah, I've changed the battery icons, connection icons and notification center background with success)

I am changing the HEX colors for the status bar background in SystemUI/res/values/drawables.xml and some status bar and notification center related files in SystemUI/res/layout. The HEX color for full transparency should be #00000000 (AARRGGBB format).

When I use this color, the statusbar stays black (like it is default)...

Do I need to edit /layout/super_status_bar.xml instead, to make it work?

What am I missing here?

[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] abhi922:
hello guys,

i m here to give u some information on how to add more wallpapers to the existing twwallpaper chooser.apk.............

it is very easy task & not require very high knowledge...........

tools required:-

1.) apktool/apkmultitool

2.) java runtime

3.) jpeg wallpaper images [u can get from google ]

4.) notepad++ [i prefered it for editing xml ]

5.) some knowledge about apktool /apkmultitool refer to my thread

guide:-

1.) decompile the twwallpaper.apk using apktool/apkmultitool........

2.)goto decompiled folder >res>drwable-mdpi

3.) add ur images to drawable-mdpi folder

u ve to add 2 images for each wallpaper

example --- abhi922.jpeg is the wallpaper & other is abhi922_small.jpeg

abhi922.jpeg should be a proper 640x480 image

abhi922_small.jpeg should be a proper 107x80 image

4.) goto values-mdpi folder

5.) open arrays.xml

it should look like this ----

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<string-array name="wallpapers">
<item>wallpaper_default</item>
<item>wallpaper_17</item>
<item>wallpaper_18</item>
<item>wallpaper_desert</item>
</string-array>
</resources>

now we have to add a new item to this for a new wallpaper......

add " <item>abhi922</item> "

now it will look like this :-

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<string-array name="wallpapers">
<item>abhi922</item>
<item>wallpaper_default</item>
<item>wallpaper_17</item>
<item>wallpaper_18</item>
<item>wallpaper_desert</item>
</string-array>
</resources>

tips:-

a) we have given it that name which we have assign to jpeg image......[ abhi922.jpeg]

b.) u can also add this line " <item>abhi922</item> " to any place as it will change order the of wallpapers in app......

6.) save this file.....

7.) compile again refer to my thread

8.) test & apply new wallpapers..

if u use this thread & make a new modded apk then give me credits​

hit thanxxxx button for me .......nothing else.........​

Hi, do you have any tips on doing this with the Galaxy S5 SecWallpaperPicker.apk?

What should the wallpaper dimensions be?

thanks!
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] abhi922:
best way to know that is extarct a wallpaper from your S5 SecWallpaperPicker.apk

then check its dimensions using any app from market or on windows photo viewer details..

then use that dimension to trim ur custom wallpapers...

also ---> u need to check that which folder contains ur wallpapers ... It will be like this --> drawable-sw***dp-**dpi

sw***dp can be any number like sw360dp or sw720dp or any other etc....

**dpi can be like xhdpi or xxhdpi or any other etc...

also ---> ur value folder will be different ... like --> value-xhdpi , value-xxhdpi or any other acc. to ur phone's display.

regards,

abhi922.
