[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] devonblue4u:
Got a GT-I9000 SGS about a month after they hit the market. All my freinds had 'Berries and some where just converting to iPhones (quite a few still had push buttons & flips). I had an Iphone 2G and 3G previously, and was fed up with the iOS interface by then. I still have the phone as a back up, and It's running current 4.2.2 JB software!

Got a GT-N7000 in Nov '11 after passing on the S2, and a SGH-i717 about a month after that so we could both upgrade our SGSs without one of us suffering from phone envy.

Again passed on the Note 2, but the H/W specs on the S4, plus the software upgrades (without resorting to the devs to patch something for us) and a off contract price speculated to be comfortably under $600? I'm in...

Exactly my issue with these new phones coming out as of late. Not only that, but Sense 5 looks like a half ass WP8 launcher.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Anthony820:
This. Other than just random new-phone-envy from reading forums and being way too techy, My OG Note has no actual problems. Granted, I run CM9, but OC'd and all it does everything possible that I want and it's more than responsive doing it. Sure, I don't have cool toggles, but at the end of the day, I don't really give a **** what my toggles look like.

Just read CyanogenMod maintainers may not develop for the S4 or future devices. All in short there getting sick of Samsung's B.S. with the source releases and stuff. Also there's rumors of Samsung possibly switching to tizen os with touchwiz on top.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jamesyboy:
A team member from HackSung recently implied that CM might not support it. So be careful...don't expect guaranteed dev support for any phone...and never expect it to continue. You might find yourself in a position like ours....ATT Note gets released, and 9 months later the Note 2 is announced. They might be releasing a Note 3. Although Samsung Display announced that both the S3, and the Note 2 display would be replaced by the S4 display, unless they have a secret display, don't expect a Note 3 to be much different. It might have a spot for a SPen on the Chassis, but in general, it doesn't look to good.

lol s4 will have an insane amount of support, guaranteed.

The CM team posted on Google +

"CyanogenMod does not pre-announce support or lack of support for devices. Ever......"

I won't be upgrading, well not until it's old news and I can get a refurb as an upgrade for 50-99 bucks. By then it'll be known whether there's alot of development for it (I'll bet there is).

I've pretty much decided, however, that a device has to have current Cyanogenmod support for me to buy it. I guess I'm a CM fanboy:silly:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] roloracer:
Even with that notion I would still get it if it would be getting the exynos 5 octa core here in the US. But no point in getting it just for the new Samsung features and a better screen, even if the new Qualcomm processor is any good. Hopefully there will be something worth an upgrade when my 2 years are up next Feb. Might push an early upgrade if something solid comes out around Christmas time this year.

How are you guys upgrade eligible? I bought my Note on pre-order so I received it two days or so before it launched in stores, but AT&T says that I am "eligible for an upgrade at out best pricing on 07/27/2013." Which if I remember correctly is almost exactly 17 months from when I first got the note. How are people getting upgrade eligible so quick?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] roloracer:
Just saw online this morning that the s4 in the UK will get the same processor as here in the USA, which means larger forum with more developers, I think that is the first thing that would make me consider it. That and the fact that of the note 3 happens to be 6.3 will be too large for me, my Max will be 6.0 on any phone and pushing it.

I'll probably be getting the Note2 in july. I'm leaving T-mobile because they don't have towers in the area where I'm moving, but Sprint has 4G/LTE support. Would love the have a Note3 but I don't like the fact it might be a 6.3in display. I would be nice if Samsung did away with the bezel and keep a similar form factor to the Note2.

No S4 for me.

I just purchased my 3rd OG Note. Long Story, but I keep jumping on whatever is new, get bored and sell it while the resale is still high This time I got a New Note 1 for the cheapest yet.

There just isn't a killer feature from ANYBODY in my opinion, that makes me want to switch. I thought the HTC One camera would make it worthwhile, or the extra Battery in the RAZR HD. Or the Quick updates of the Nexus.

In the end, if you are willing to use Custom ROMs, and root (and odds are if you are reading this you are) then you can keep just about any current model up to date with the latest and greatest.

I am keeping hope alive for some killer features in the Nokis EOS, or the Google X phone, but I have a feeling it will be mostly hyberbole again.

Unlock your device, Run a 4.2.2 ROM.. If you do a clean install of ROM AND APPS they are 99.9% Stable now a days.. And if you are lucky enough to be in a T-Mobile Area like I am, Run it on their Network at $30.00 bucks a month for the 100 min / Unlimited HSPA+ Data - Text Plan or $50.00 a month Unlimited everything plan and stay the hell out of 2 year contracts or shelling out $600.00 on a phone for features that will get ported to other devices in a couple of months anyway.. S4? Really??

I will never pay more than $1.00 a day for service anymore.. much less sign a contract to be locked up with a carrier until the Summer of the year 2015..

I'm on the i717 on T-Mobiles 30$ plan n get 7-13mb down.... love it... I use groove ip for calls... Works great!

Still rocking the OG Note...disabled capacitive buttons n using the pie... it's just awesome!!

Nah, I'll be sticking to my i717. I want the Xperia Z as my next phone, though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rquinn19:
The whole screenshot and edit, not taking and all that has me hooked on the note. Considering a Note 2, but trying to hold out for the 3. The Optimus G is very underrated, but if it had the digitizer and stylus like the Note it'd be perfect.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] RaiderWill:
The Note 3 may still not convince me to sell my Note 1..... Rooted & Rom'ed they are still just as good as anything on the Market.. Unless you sit in circles with people comparing test results, They are just as sweet as the Note 2, GS3S..eh S4, The One.. or anything else.. We have the ORIGINAL 5" screens... Now, everyone and their MaMa wants to build a 5" screen........ Just cracks me up.. :cool:

The $30.00 a Month ( Only $360.00 a year ! ) T-Mobile Plan just puts the icing on the cake.... :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cougar11:
Hell yea... U on the same plan... It's just tits!!

Besides the OG Note still has a bigger screen than most new phones coming out :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rquinn19:
OG Note's performance is getting long in tooth. If you don't think so you haven't used a rooted, rom'd newer phone (GS3, Note 2, etc)

S4 looks nice but it's smaller than i717 and lacks S-Pen. I'll hold out for the Note 3!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jimmer411:
I got to play with my friends GS4 this weekend and was floored. First Android phone that really felt glued to my finger when scrolling web pages and apps. The New touch wiz is a huge improvement ad well. I can't wait for the Note 3 now
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Theoriginalgiga:
My buddy just broke the LCD on my backup phone. at $110 for the replacement part, I might just toss in the extra amount and get the S4 and move the note into backup status. But I do really like the Note so I dunno. Maybe just save the cash and wait until the Note 3.

I am working on a startup script to allow browser2RAM to work with other browsers that don't use the android.browser.com agent (Chrome, Firefox) and don't know where to put this 00script file I wrote in the system. This device has no etc/init.d directory. Where should this go to get executed on boot?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Re: User startup script location in system partition?

If you have a custom ROM like CleanROM Inheritance, you should have a (/system)/etc/init.d - which ROM are you running?
[Asus Transformer TF700] elfaure:
Re: User startup script location in system partition?

Hi-

Thanks for your reply. I am locked and rooted on stock ROM.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
OK, that means no support for init.d by the kernel's init.rc. You can try the following:

Create a shell script named "/system/etc/install-recovery.sh" with the following content:

#!/system/bin/sh
/system/bin/logwrapper /system/xbin/busybox run-parts /system/etc/init.d

Remember to make it executable and to create the /system/etc/init.d directory. Put your init script there and make it executable.

If you have busybox installed in /system/xbin and a little luck, this could enable support for running init.d scripts with the stock ROM. Tell us if it worked.
[Asus Transformer TF700] elfaure:
I thank you for the method but I'm a newb (nOOb) and this looks a little scary. I found two market apps that can do it (execute a script as root on boot): Autostart-Root and ROM Toolbox (Lite or Pro). I'm using the latter's Scripter tool to execute this script on boot as root. Seems to be working. (Appended the .txt extension to the filename in order to upload the file)

Here's another thead i found here on the subject

[Asus Transformer TF700] elfaure:
_That

Using your method above, how would you run the script as root (su)? This script needs to run as root to properly mount the /data partition.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
It should run as root because it's started by init - /data is already mounted at that time. If I understand your intention correctly, you don't need to (re)mount /data anyway, just /data/data/<whatever_directory_your_browser_uses>.
[Asus Transformer TF700] elfaure:
If I run my script as normal user (not as root ie su) then I get script /data mount errors.

exec /system/bin/sh '/Removable/MicroSD/Scripts/autostart.sh'

u0_a106@android:/ $ exec /system/bin/sh '/Removable/MicroSD/Scripts/autostart.sh'

The rm failed for -rt really isn't an error, just an indication there was no cache file to delete, correct?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
I don't see where "/data" is mentioned in your error messages. You get "invalid argument" from umount because there is nothing mounted on that directory, and "operation not permitted" from mount because only root is allowed to mount filesystems.

Correct.
[Asus Transformer TF700] elfaure:
Thanks very much for that explaination. Sorry, I'm just getting started with scripts. In fact, this is my first one. Another question:

I added: (got the idea from this post, pg 2 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=690564)

>/data/opt/autostart.out 2>/data/opt/autostart.err
​

to the end of the script.

The original call is shown here:

"I simulate it by the following contents in /system/etc/init.d/20autostart :

/system/bin/sh /data/opt/autostart.sh >/data/opt/autostart.out 2>/data/opt/autostart.err

which not only calls /data/opt/autostart.sh at boot time, but

also dumps its stdout to /data/opt/autostart.out

and dumps its stderr to /data/opt/autostart.err

which is very helpful for debugging the commands in /data/opt/autostart.sh

Note that you need to enter recovery mode before you can write to /system/etc/init.d/"
​

Now when it runs it dumps the two files, which are sucessfully created. But both files are blank, no data, and autostart.err does not have any error messages like I show above. What's wrong with this call statement? Can't it be executed from within this same script, or do I have to use another script to call this one to make that work?
[Asus Transformer TF700] elfaure:
From that another post, he calls:

service sysinit /system/bin/logwrapper /system/xbin/busybox run-parts /system/etc/init.d

disabled

oneshot

which looks quite similar. Can you describe the differences between them? Is this one only for CWM?
[Asus Transformer TF700] elfaure:
Is this even possible on stock ROM?

:(I got a bit educated then got brave and tried it and it doesn't seem to work. I added the file tracer output line, files> /data/opt, to my startup script, made yours executable via "chmod 776 install-recovery.sh", put it where you said, put mine where you said, made mine executable same way except had to mount system R/W to do it (should have done this before I put it there but I am learning), ran your script without error, then rebooted. I see no files in data/oct so my script did not run at boot? I even renamed my script 00autostart1.sh and still didn't work.

Also, both other methods failed to run my script at boot. Any other ideas on stock ROM or is this just not possible?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
You need to add these redirections to each command whose output you want to redirect, not to the end of the script. So to capture the output of your script, write another script that calls your original one with these redirections, as suggested by that other person.

The above is the block that needs to be added to /init.rc, but this is part of the kernel's ramdisk which you can only modify on an unlocked device.

Post the output of:

su

ls -l /etc/install-recovery.sh

cat /etc/install-recovery.sh

ls -ld /etc/init.d

ls -l /etc/init.d

ls -l /system/xbin/busybox
[Asus Transformer TF700] elfaure:
I created a script called that_script.sh that contains your command set above. I make it executable and run it (as root) and:

****************************************

There is no output because the script never completes execution? Just runs forever (Script Manager) or times out (ROM Toolbox Lite Scripter). Some kind of script-loop is created?? Upon break (exit) I get the following output:

exec sh -c '/Removable/MicroSD/Scripts/that_script.sh '

exit

[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
I don't know what strange tools you are using, the commands were meant to simply type into an interactive shell (adb or a local terminal app).

However, the original problem why your script doesn't run at boot is obvious from your output:

-rw-rw-r-- root sdcard_rw 90 2013-03-19 18:28 install-recovery.sh

You forgot to make install-recovery.sh executable (or you forgot to become root first).
[Asus Transformer TF700] elfaure:
I use these script tools so I can copy all the text into a file and run the file (script) rather than typing each line individually into the terminal. My tools show the script is executable (I ran "chmod 776 filename.ext" = "chmod +x filename.ext" on the script file) and ran it as root? I'll try it again and post back. I'll also try it from the terminal app.

Thks
[Asus Transformer TF700] elfaure:
I'm not (re)mounting /data.

So the mount is still needed, that's the key to the whole process. *The mount isn't (re)mounting the data partition, it's creating a mount point inside the data partition for the RAM cache.

What the script is doing is creating a tmpfs filesystem where the browsers expect to put their cache files. This filesystem is actually fully in memory (RAM), and never backed by any permanent storage. The -t tmpfs option tells mount to create a tmpfs filesystem, and -o size=50m tells it to reserve 50 MB of memory. The unmount is for when I use a different browser (one that doesn't use the com.android.browser agent like chrome, firefox, naked, etc.) and need to create a new mount point but want to reuse the 50MB already allocated for the existing mount point. Hope this clarifies my intent with creating this script and how it is supposed to work.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Assumed that you script is working, you could use "script manager - SManager" from the market. This app will allow yours to run as root and during start up. All you need is root. The script can be at any location (even on sdcard if you like). I used to use this with my cell phone.

[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
I didn't write a script - you did. And you forgot to end the last line with "Enter", maybe the strange program you are using to run the script doesn't like that.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Yes, and the output you posted clearly shows that you forgot to end the last line with the "Enter" key.

I never said that you should *run* any script. You said that you had problems and I asked you to

That isn't very helpful because it's hard to tell which output was caused by which command if the commands are not visible in the output. That's why I asked you to type the commands into a terminal.

Where does the "root" at the end of the last line come from? Apparently you forgot to end the last line of that script (which was not intended to be a script at all) too.

I don't know where the "exit" commands are coming from, because I never wrote anything about "exit".
[Asus Transformer TF700] elfaure:
Hi _that

Thanks for you continued support and patience.

If I'm hearing you correctly, you are saying I need an "enter" or <CR> after the last line in any shell script. Is this correct? If so, I was not aware of that requirement. I did not forget.

I was not aware there would be any diffence between running those commands line by line at the terminal vs. creating a script to do the same but you made it clear why (when trouble shooting) there is a difference. I will run them line by line and post the output.

"busyboxroot"...

This was a cut and paste error from my terminal output on my part. It is the last line of a script (busybox) combining with the first line of the prompt (root@android). Its a word wrap issue with the terminal output same as ...init.droot@android... from one of the "cat" outputs above.

"exit" commands were done by me manually to demonstrate that the script did not end on its own properly and I had to "exit" twice not once to reach the $ prompt. Is that because there is no <CR> after the last line?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
You need to press "Enter" after every line. Including the last one. Make it a habit - bad things can happen when you don't, as you now know. Fix your scripts and see what changes.
[Asus Transformer TF700] elfaure:
Can you recommend a text or script editor that shows me which lines have <CR> at the end and which don't? None of my text editors have the function (that I can find) for "show all characters" like the paragraph icon does in MS word. Or "cat" terminal code to show the same?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Actually, you need LF as line ends, because that's the Unix standard. Any Linux-based editor will insert LF when you press Enter. So all lines will have a LF at the and, except the last one if you forgot to press Enter. If you can move the cursor below the last line, you are doing it right. If you "cat" your script in a terminal and the following shell prompt is appended to the last line instead of being on a separate line, it's wrong.
[Asus Transformer TF700] elfaure:
Thanks! Exactly the info I needed. I guess that explains where busyboxroot... and init.droot... came from.

Unfortunately this month I think I added a letter so I'm back to "nOOb" again, but I'm working hard on it.:crying:
