If you are on stock 2.3.4 and tried to flash that kernel .. that is why it failed .. it would be the wrong kernel for that rom. Did you flash a stock rom in recovery? If so then I would suggest using oden to return to stock . then see what you end up with.

SGH-i717 Home Keys not working

Thanx for you reply..I did however flash stock 2.3.4 from oden..I deleted everything in recovery then went to oden and flashed the stock rom..Should i unroot/unbrick flash from oden?

That article about returning to original settings in Kies seems to make sense except for the fact that i cannot get Kies to recognise the phone...

Are we talking about Software ou Hardare issue in your opinion?

Cheers
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Bubba:
Could be a hardware issue. Try this ... Put the phone into download mode then connect to the pc. Use the cable that came with the phone. Also use a port on the back of the pc ..not a hub. Then open kies and do the emergency firmware update.

Also ... When you used Odin to go to stock ..you installed the 3e recovery ..that's why it failed to flash. Which is a good thing. That kennel would have boot looped you.

SGH-i717 Home Keys not working

Okay i installed from ODIN Stock 2.3.4.....I dont have a port on the back of the PC to use as i only have a Laptop...Kies will not recognise the phone..Even when the phone is at Stock it takes soooo long to boot up..approx 2 mins..can i not run the emergency firmware update from ODEN? If so where can i find the software please..

Also even when i go into recovery mode it shows error signs..it wont let me wipe cache or wipe data/factory reset..

cheers
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Bubba:
The lap top is fine. Emergency firmware is through kies and not Odin. You need download mode ... Not recovery.

Yep i used it..very good..But my original and main problem..Continues..NONE of my HOME keys are working..I fear that it is a Hardware issue with the SGH-i717..I guess i have to take it to Samsung for repair..Until someone else can give me a solution..I have tried everything and nothing has worked..No HOME keys..Cheers
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Hammerfest:
Definitely not a hardware issue, there where some changes made IIRC in the kernel driver files, once flashed they prevented the homerow buttons from working normally, the only way I ever found to make them work right was to flash the Flappjaxxx alternate kernel series, let it boot, then return completely to stock!

If you dig around, FJ's alt kernel's are around here somewhere!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kakadu44:
SGH-i717 HOME keys are not working...

Good morning, well i believe i have finally arrived at a possible solution..I have searched hi and low for these Flappjaxxx alternate kernel ..I came up with a daunting array of alternatives for the complete amatuer as i am..I appreciate that your time is precious but i do need some general direction what exactly i am searching for..I have found this one but to be quite honest i am not sure if i need this whole ROM or just the Flappjaxxx alternate kernel'a..

http://db.communityrelease.com/developer_display.asp?DeveloperID=11381

https://github.com/flappjaxxx/kernel_samsung_sghi717

Also when i do eventually obtain the Kernel that i am looking for can i use ODIN to flash it? I installed this ROM which i beleive to be stock already..You wrote that i need to return COMPLETELY to stock..What is that 2.3.6???

My work schedule is absolute hell, and due to people flaking at work I have been called in 2x to cover on my only days off...

Needless to say, im about to pass out, so im going to make this useless post...

Either I, or someone else can link you to a FJ rom, and the FJ alternate kernel that match, what you will need to do prior is make sure you have EVERYTHING you want/need, backed up to GMail (in the case of Phone logs, SMS and MMS with the Backup to GMail app, yes, im whoring this fantastic app out) AND to your computer, NO not your SD card, but your computer!

Make sure you have the latest recovery (TWRP 2.5.0.0 is what I have, but whatever TWRP is latest will do), wipe everything, then install the rom, boot, wait 10min, reboot into recovery, flash the alt kernel, boot, wait 10min, then test the home/back/menu/search key row, they should work, at this point, you CAN go back to the 2.x.x rom you where running, but if you have an i717, I have had nothing but love for the Stock rom update on AT&T once I performed a complete ODIN to it (flashing the ones here on the forum's resulted in random reboots here and there, and while less then ever before, still annoying, after an ODIN however, havent had a random reboot yet!).

There are issues with the GNote i717 JB release, many posted here, and quite a few here:

I just switched over from at&t Xperia ion to the note 2 and I was wondering if I would need to have at&t push internet settings to me if I use a custom Rom like cyanogenmod or aokp or paranoid android

Or even Jedi Rom
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
Your talking about data on the network correct ??

CM will contain the proper APN's to get network connection and data.

PA may not....

Once you flash the Rom you want, go into the APN settings and check...

You can find the entire APN list for all carriers in the dev section under the everything thread...and verify you have the correct one. If not, create a new one and save it to the new rom....done

Radio images will generally not be changed unless you push a stock build via Odin. so you wont need to worry about that unless there is a problem....g

i just used cf auto root and i was wondering can i flash roms from stock recovery or do i need cwm
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
Only official updates can be flashed using the stock 3e recovery. ...generally speaking. .

You will need a custom recovery. .

I prefer TWRP...but CWM is perfectly fine also. ...TWRP gives you more options and has better support. .

Edit: always use the latest version of recovery. .regardless of which recovery you choose. ..

And once you have your recovery flashed..run a full backup of your current rom. Keep 1 copy on the external SD card, and send a copy to PC as well.

Then you are prepared.

Note: TWRP will allow you to back up the EFS folder and modem information. You select these as options in the backup process.

It is always wise to select yes on these files. ..or rather. ..all files until you are comfortable with the flashing process. ..as these files contain your IMEI number and other critical files needed for device function. ...g

And can I flash a boot image via mobile Odin pro app?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zachinater:
Also do I need unlocked bl to flash kernels?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
Mobile Odin will push your new recovery just fine. ..

Ignore the bootloader altogether. ...because once you have root with a custom recovery you are unlocked. .

You can push any kernel using a .zip file from your new recovery. ..

Download mode is opened by turning off the device. ..

Then push and hold volume down. ..home button. ..and power. ....

Once DL mode is open....push volume up when ready to flash a file. ..

Use PC Odin. ...IMHO.....and don't change and fields when it opens on PC.....g

Thanks for the help. I'm a total noobie to the note 2. With the chorus ion you had to have unlocked bl for every thing

Few more questions: what kernel would you prefer for aosp Roms(specifically ultimate kang and paranoid android and PAC man)?, can i flash back touch wiz Roms after having aosp?, what kernel would you prefer for touch wiz based Roms?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
For TW based Roms.....I really like saber kernel ...

For AOSP....I like the dual boot devil kernel ...

Both run excellent ...and have good battery life ...

Yes you can switch back to TW roms easily...so long as you "fully" wipe the device before flashing...

The radio image is to be left alone...as it will not be touched in the flashing process ....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zachinater:
What touch wiz based ROM would you recommend. I tried the noteorious prime ROM and i was having lte problems so I'm looking for another. Right now I'm running pa 3.55 and it's a real battery killer so I'm looking for one with touchwiz base that's smooth fast and has great battery management

Find out your real phone's model, and ask google about it. You might get lucky (try with s3 clones, and how to detect the model)

Also, the android debug bridge interface might help you detect your phone's real model, if drivers are available.

Hello guys, this is a small article cum question thread. After reading please give me your views.

When we buy a phone and we start with our gmail id.

They forcefully sync all data, even the gallery (picasa).

I mean why is Google entering in our life so much..

They have every single detail. Contact , location, whereabouts, preferences, taste, when we get up/ sleep...

Every single data is with Google.

Now Google glass... Its too much interference...

I feel like being spy by a person name Google. Prove me wrong, I will be glad.

Before Android, I had Nokia phone. I never felt being spy every time.

I have spend lots of money on my Android phone but im feeling insecured every moment.

Why Google force all to sync the data/ why Google wants to enter in everyon's life?

Are we purchasing Android phones for being monitored 24x7?

Let me know your views too..

Thank you.

[General Questions and Answers] mutha88:
We've all heard about the "big brother". Before the TV reality shows there was only books and stories about it, there were wars for power and world dominance. May be my words are too strong, but think about it - there are strong arguments in DBZo07's post, don't you think?

Google may be one of the reasons for the next World War. I am sure that there will be one - all of the major civilizations before us have disappeared for various reasons, most of them connected with war and the will of dominance. We will wipe ourselfs too or will become "human androids". :)

I think that we should think about what will be the next kind of terrorism? I doubt it will be for petrol, gold, money... it will be about information, communication, privacy - and Google are getting even more and more into our life, as DBZo07 have observed. It was only 8 years ago when for most of us smartphones were a joke and look now - hybrids, phonepads, padphones, tablets, docking stations, virtual HDD's (cloud storage)... Now can you leave without Viber, skype, facebook, gmail? No, you can't and if you could you will be searching for better replacements.

When you put all of the things it really seems too much. What if someone uses the information we share virtually each day? What if someone wants more than just money to share or store our information or to communicate with each other? Now they want our money, but tomorrow?

May be someone will want more from us tomorrow... may be we will start to sync our dreams for more efficient sleep time.

Or probably my arguments are nonsense and no one will let these thing happen. I hope so and I believe so - you should believe too :)

Yes it is bad, but just do like everybody disliking this state, deactivate all you can that allow google to "follow" you.

At the end, androïd is not linux, androïd is "google is watching you OS", so make all you can to hide yourself.

[General Questions and Answers] DBZo07:
[MENTION=4302459]mutha88[/MENTION] : that's what , we are forced to believe Google like God. Turning off auto sync may ease our mind. But still who knows about which data is being snatched with our data plan on all times in the very owned OS of Google. I still can appreciate Microsoft Windows, which is carring on from years after years still there is sense of personal private life being secured.

No doubt Google is an award winning innovative company but why getting personal to the extent of choking privacy.

On other hand, consumers are least concern about privacy now a days. Very trusted Microsoft is trying hard to penetrate phones and data stealer Google is having large pie of market share. It is we who made Google survive and in return we have loss of privacy.

[MENTION=5287058]BombinBasta[/MENTION] : yeah, but for development of any OS needs finance. Linux is free open source, hardly people donate. And Microsoft has enough money to carry on their development. Apple already charges too high for thier devices. Whereas Google... makes money from phones, market, various products and who knows what they make from every details of their users.

Seriously, as i heard from childgood that evil ends when they cross thier limits... will there be end of Google anyways!!! I wonder.

May be I'm wrong but their are no proper justifications from Google for interference.
[General Questions and Answers] k2wl:
u cant be free of data collection by google...

even if u never sync ur data and use internet on ur android(even if it a vanila AOSP android ) there is code in that to give the data to google.

[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
You act like Microsoft doesnt do the same thing. When ever you use any of their programs it is the same. Privacy is a moot point if you use the internet for anything. You would be amazed how many times your personal info is used. Use a Shopping card to get discounts? Tracked. Use a CC for anything? Tracked. Buy anything on line? Tracked. Use any social networks? Yup tracked again.

It is not just Google. If you trust MS so much then why not get a WP?
[General Questions and Answers] DBZo07:
This information again shocking.. will there be a respect for privacy is a big question..

Is there any way that code being blocked ... :D

My bad.. Microsoft still a good sided. I'm not promoting Microsoft but everybody have used Windows and this hunger for data wasn't found, maybe Microsoft is too smart to do silently but there is a chance that it may or may not be true. Google openly does all stealing I mean who is going to held them!! We the users are just watching being used all time.

When I took Android , i wasn't aware of Google's hunger for information..

In the end, everyone is happy without Google's justifications... :confused:
[General Questions and Answers] sidthegreatest:
I would like to point out that you are under no compulsion to connect an android phone to a Google account. You only need to connect your account if you want to avail of their services such as Play Store, syncing contacts, etc. If you can do without them, then by all means you can disconnect your Google account.
[General Questions and Answers] unclefab:
I completely agree...

As for me I don't like Google's spying so I uninstalled all their apps, including network location and Google framework service, and I use alternative apps for gtalk or Google play. And recently I even made a new email at Yahoo's. I know Yahoo spies as well, but since android is Google at least I don't put all my eggs in the same basket.

If like me you are very privacy concerned there are ways to cut the abusive permissions most apps use.

You need to be rooted, and then use apps like appsettings (in conjunction with xposer app), permissions denied, rom toolbox, greenify, privacy blocker, and the best (but unfortunately not available for all roms) : pdroid and its variants like open pdroid and the like.

For example, recently I downloaded the Yahoo app. Before to start using it I put it through privacy blocker and then changed the imei value and other nosy informations with fake values (thank you privacy blocker and respect to xeudoxus its developer). Then I opened appsettings and blocked other unwanted permissions (thank you rovo and tungstwenty, respect). Finally I started to use it, and when I'm done checking my mails I greenify (thank you oasisfeng and respect) the app to avoid background usage.

Of course when one does such things one doesn't get notifications as soon as a new message arrives, but as for me I don't care since I don't need, and don't want, to be connected and hence spied, 24 hours a day.

It's relatively easy to get rid of the spying, but of course you will loose 2-3 features.

It's up to you...

I did the same with my browsers (opera mini and dolphin), privacy blocker+ appsettings+greenify, and with Mozilla I use an add-on called self destructing cookies.

Another thing is that not only Google spies on us, actually everyone does.

Just have a look at the permissions used by your system (default) applications, it's insane moreover that when one blocks those abusive permissions the apps still work. Don't think that it would be any better with a custom room, it's exactly the same story with cyanogen mode or aosp or pa etc.

What I do is that I remove most system apps (keeping like 10 for my tab, and 20 something on my phone, which means that I uninstall over 100 system apps, exactly 160 on my tab's recent jb upgrade) and replace them with third party apps that are easier to control and whose permissions are easier to block. And of course I block everything I can, system and user apps alike.

One of these days when I have time I'll write a more precise guide on these matters...
