Just look at the LARGE amount of thanks Mike has received from developping ARHD. There isnt a need for words to describe how great it is :P

But back for real, ARHD is fully stock with speed tweaks here and there. If you remember your experience (if u had one) on ICS with Sense 3.6, just look back at that, and then imagine it being about 3 or 4 times smoother

Thread Closed

As you can tell, everyone is going to have a different opinion on this, so we generally close these types of threads before the conversations devolve. Please try all the ROMs and choose the one you like best. I personally change between different ROMs at different times as no one ROM is "best" all the time since they all evolve over time with different features and their associated problems. Purchasing Titanium Backup along with doing regular nandroid backups has proved very beneficial to make the changeovers fairly painfree and ensure I don't lose anything.

Thank you,

Hey guys, if anybody could provide me with some solid/sure answer to my noobish curiosity, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Okay, I'm currently on a Verizon basic phone (talk & text, no data). Since I like the Note II so much, I might get one off contract, provide if Verizon would give me a miniSIM Card with no data plan on it. I have WIFI at work and at home, so I don't really see the point of paying for $30 Data.

Although I'm due for upgrade in April, I would like save the $30 per month for the next two years.

Anyway, Note II OFF-Contract on Verizon with no data plan? Is that possible? Thanks...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nosympathy:
Smart phones require a smartphone data plan. No if amds or buts.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] muasxees:
Well, even if you do not upgrade or receive upgrade discount on the phone device?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nosympathy:
Yup. Welcome to Verizon. I know T-Mobile will let you since they goofed and did it to my on accident. But far as I am still aware at&t, Verizon and sprint all require a data plan on smart phones regardless of how you buy it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] purged363506:
Yes Verizon will require data on a smart phone regardless.

The imei identifies the device on the network.

It is illegal to change it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] UrbanDroid:
You could always just use it as a big media player. Youll get the same functionality as you are expecting to get already sans the phone and texting useage. Ive got a friend that uses an original note for that purpose. Of course his is the korean version so its a no go on the phone side anyway. Of course that would be a very expensive meda player!

[Windows RT Development and Hacking] Laos101:
I brought up some thoughts about Dropbox in mamaich's thread and netham45 was nice enough to bring up some interesting facts about Dropbox, namely that it's compiled in Python.

I'm totally unqualified and have no idea how to actually do the tough stuff, but i'm just going to leave all my notes so far in this thread so someone perhaps more knowledgeable with Python can take it from here. I will try to play it around to get it working though.

Basically after extracting Python from the .exe I got left with a bunch of .pycs that need to be recompiled into the .py that made up the file. I have no idea how to do this. See here http://nixforums.org/about81754.html - if this can be built into some sort of functional program, then it may be very well possible to take this one step further and recompile an .exe for ARM that runs dropbox - or even more easily just compile a working python file for Dropbox

this also might be interesting http://kyl191.net/2012/04/dropbox-api-python-to-sync-a-folder/

I also thought it's worth pointing out this https://github.com/mdornseif/dropbox-client-python

last but not least http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2678180/how-does-dropbox-use-python-on-windows-and-os-x

Maybe someone will have a better idea about what's going on here
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] netham45:
The compiled python -should- be platform independent. I honestly don't know much about Python, but we should be able to just reverse whatever dropbox.exe is doing (which should be just a launcher), mimic it, and get a rather functional dropbox.

Another thing that could be done is implement a client in .net. I played with doing just that a couple weeks ago, I had a semi functional (it worked, but had some issues still) offline client in not very many lines of code using a .net library for Dropbox. I'll see if I can get my code up sometime soon.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] DarkoLord:
The Python-to-exe packers I know basically include a native loader that unpacks the python dll and loads it either from temporary location or directly from memory and then passes the script to that dll.

It's probably just a matter of figuring out which packer they used and/or porting one of the packers and repackaging it again for RT
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] SixSixSevenSeven:
Wrong track completely. The compiled python being referred to above is not python packed into an exe. It is a .pyc file. Contrary to popular belief python is not interpreted line by line. Instead it is compiled into bytecode and then a virtual machine executes that. The bytecode can be saved into a .pyc file (there is a tool included in the standard python install for it somewhere, alternately if you try importing any script as a python module then python will automatically make a .pyc for it which you can use), it has a smaller file size and is not human readable. This is the file being referred to.

It is possible to reverse engineer .pyc files. I remember seeing a tool which is capable of making a pretty good attempt of reverse engineering non obfuscated bytecode, thats the disadvantage to python being open source, the bytecode specification is publicly viewable :P can't remember the tools name and I would think dropbox have obfuscated their pyc files.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] DarkoLord:
I'm aware of that (by script file I meant pyc, of course), but what would be the reason for trying to reverse engineer the pyc files since the bytecode itself is platform independent?

For starters someone should just try running the unpacked .pcy files on the RT or are we past that and there is some platform specific stuff inside that prevents it from working?
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] Laos101:
The pycs are getting magic number errors when I try to look at them because i'm not running it through the interpreter - because I dont know what the interpreter is. I think the first step is to find a way to get it compiled and running to find out if its platform independent or if there are dependencies.

I also have no idea which .pyc to start with
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] DarkoLord:
Ah, magic number.

Apparently Dropbox uses a bit modified version of python interpreter with some encryption and mixed opcodes.

Here are some details: http://blog.codepainters.com/2012/09/17/python-care-and-feeding-the-dropbox-way/. It looks like it could be done :)

Try clearing data for the app or uninstall and reinstall it.

Back on topic...great write up. X-plorer is awesome, and glad to learn about putting the apps in the /system file first. I was wondering I could never push framework without it crashing. Other than keeping everything from crashing, what exactly does that do? Would you delete the files from /system after placing them in their designated folders and rebooting?

Curious about the .9.png's as well. I have a few apps that I can't seem to figure out or locate the right .png's but I'm thinking it might just be the .9's that are messing me up.

Thanks for putting this together for everyone. It'll certainly benefit the whole community to have more people taking an interest in modding/developing. :beer:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] icedventimocha:
Once you change the permissions you just move them, not copy. If you don't set the permissions not only does it crash, but since the permissions are not correct the system won't start the app, and since your messing with the framework and system it won't start up. Once I get some simpler edits covered I'll get into the .9 images.

Sent from my Galaxy Note II
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] icedventimocha:
As far as batch operations go you will need a pc. One thing that makes this slightly faster, when making color changes in photo editor it gives you the option to save your preferences as a preset. If changing multiple images that start out as the same color this works well and can speed up the process.

Sent from my Galaxy Note II
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleevasteve:
Awesome that definitely helps. And it looks like you CAN select multiple files if you use the photo editors file browser(it just takes a few seconds for the thumbnails to load). You can't apply the preset to multiple files, but you can at least get them into the project, and load the preset to each one individually but fairly quickly.

I know you haven't covered this yet but figured I'd ask. I've themed one of my apps, and I've gotten it to install and it runs great(and looks awesome!) but when I reboot my phone the app tells me it's detected an illegal version of the app. Oddly enough, it's a free app, with the option of buying the key for it, which I've actually paid for the key, but I notice when I install the themed app, the ads start popping back up, so it makes me think there's some kind of authentication/signing issue with the new app, and the key doesn't recognize there is even an app installed. Any suggestions?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] icedventimocha:
If you're theming a market app, especially one with a separate key apk the problem most likey is that the key checks for the vendor signature, which if theming a market app changes because you have to resign it to install it. Unfortunately theres nothing you can do about it. The only suggestion I have is check out this thread, it's basically a method to build a separate apk that themes the app.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikec1987:
Hi All,

First post so hoping I haven't broken any posting rules, I've searched the forums and google for an answer to this but haven't found anything....

I've unlocked my TF300T and installed cleanrom inheritance, first version I installed was 3.2 I think but yesterday I updated to the most recent. Absolutely love the rom, only thing is that when I'm on this rom my front and rear cameras don't work properly. The front facing camera can barely see anything indoors but works fine outdoors and vice versa for the rear camera.

Rear camera has way too much light coming in when outdoors but is perfect indoors and front camera has not enough light when indoors ie. you can't see anything but a black screen but if you point it at a lightbulb you can see that but again it works fine outdoors.

Last night I installed the latest nightly of CM10 which completely fixed the problem, only downside being that I couldn't read the SD card in the keyboard dock which I need more than the cameras so I've switched back to the latest Inheritance rom.

I've tweeted sdbags last week but haven't had a reply so thought I'd see if anyone has any ideas? Like maybe a way to take the camera drivers from CM10 and install them in Inheritance. I'm fairly technically able, can use terminal fine etc so if anyone can point me in the right direction I'd like to give it a go.

Thanks in advance, Mike.
