hey guys i just rooted my lt28 at with the binary method and now i want to get cwm how do i go about doing this?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lestersaenz:
It is very easy friend ...

You need to download this file: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1291475&d=1346296019

Make sure that USB debugging is on and allow Unknown Sources is checked. Just run it from a live screen.

Unzip and execute install.bat

To get to the CWM: you will need to click on Sony 5 or 6 times while it booting up.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fade2green514:
So I just got this little dongle thing, and its all choppy at times, and sometimes the audio is out of sync with the video.

Specifically I have been using Netflix and the default video player. Power saving is off. It should work fairly smooth and I'm literally 4 feet away so I don't think it's reception.

Any suggestions to smoothen the video playback?

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fade2green514:
FIXED ... turns out it is just a bug in the Netflix app. Every time I run it the problem starts and it carries over into the YouTube app and the video player. Reboot the device and everything runs fine, until you run the Netflix app again. Unfortunately the same bug in the Netflix app afflicts my Bluetooth headphones.

Wondering if it's an incompatibility with the device and that version of the Netflix app or what? And does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix it

Is there a preference, setting or registry tweak that can be set to prevent Pocket Word/Excel from going into the screen listing all files of their type upon quiting. It is unfortunate when a quit is not a quit. WM2003SE by the way.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] ozymandias:
If you install SPB Pocket Plus it has a close button feature that lets you "really close" applications. If you tap and hold on the sudo-close button it pops up a menu allowing you to close, close all, minimize etc.

Screenies?

---------- Post added at 09:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:55 PM ----------

It's the same gallery/camera that's been floating around for a week or so, I installed it last week with no issues. If you want both cameras then this is for you, supposedly it's the camera from the S4,but I don't care for it. Our camera already has panorama so aside from a fresh look, this camera offers no advancement over what we already have. And in fact this new camera had far less features.

The galleries are exactly the same.

No you don't want to delete the old apk or else you won't be able to go back to the old camera/gallery should you want to (which you just might seeing as how the new camera/gallery isn't ad feature rich). You want to rename the old apk to "name". bak

I'm heading to China in a week and want to use my Note II (AT&T) on the China Mobile network. Does anyone have experience doing that?

I have been to my local AT&T store and they unlocked the phone for a non-AT&T SIM but I'm unsure about the Modem I should use (if a change is needed) and any other considerations.

I have rooted the phone and have CleanROM ACE 4.9 installed. No UV or OC or other tweaks.

I can buy a new pre-loaded SIM in China, as I have done in the past, but never with an Android smartphone.

I appreciate any feedback, guidance, or even horror stories that will help me get the phone ready for the trip.

I've heard that you have to use china unicom to get 3g connection on an ATT phone. Is that true?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mbamberg:
All, I thought I'd give an update:

I'm in China and can use my Note II here. I bought a micro-SIM and data connection service, but blew through the first pre-payment in about 18 hours, LOL, so now I just use the calls and messaging and that seems to work fine.

AT&T unlocked the phone for me (Even thought I had done it on my own using the "secret" menu) but I had to use some other tweaks to get it all working.

I'm on China Mobile which doesn't have the 3G, wish I had gotten the China Telecom, which does have 3G. There doesn't appear to be any 4G or LTE type service at all.

If I can remember what I did to get the whole thing working I'll edit the post.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Narcissus_King:
I'm in China now using my i317, you can't use China Telecom's 3G on the i317, you have to use China unicom. That's the same 3G as AT&T. you can have HSPA+(called 4G by at&t) by using this
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jedimyndtryx:
I was in Shenzhen for work 3 times last year with an unlocked 4S since they could not supply a nano SIM for my 5. I used a China Mobile SIM card supplied by the vendor I was visiting. I was only able to get EDGE the whole time. I visited Luohu and Guangdong as well and still only EDGE. I am heading back on September 18th and am taking my Note II. I assume my experience will be the same. Maybe I will give give CU a shot this time. Happy and safe travels!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mbamberg:
Back from China!

I used China mobile, but next time I would use China Unicom. They have faster data and cheaper too, I think.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rangercaptain:
Can't you just trim the sim card to correct size? I used a punch, and use the outside piece when I need a regular size sim.

Anyway, when I travel, I keep a couple of modems on my sd card and flash them until I get the correct frequencies. Before I leave, I save a screenshot of the APN settings for the companies I anticpate using.

Hello everyone... As the title says, I am looking to get rid of the black bar or make it transparent on the lock screen... I have tried a few thing and can not seem to get it... Is there any other method to try besides these here???...

Currently using Links #1 and #2 for the transparent bar, but does not work for the lock screen... I have attached 3 pics as to what happens when I use Link #3 for the status bar, although everything else seems to work... Link #4 does not work at all... I flashed the zip and once I reboot it stays on the splash screen... So I pulled the battery and used my back up to get it to boot again... Is there any way to get the Simplistic Framework to function with our Verizon Note 2 ( SCH-I605) ??? But most importantly eliminate this status bar on the lock screen or make transparent... Thank you for any help you can provide...:fingers-crossed:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] elnene20:
So no one has any suggestions or know of something that works??? I am still looking and came across this link...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
If you are on a TW ROM it won't work, it states in the first few lines of the OP it is only for AOSP Roms.

Also I believe the Xposed framework has an add on that allows what you're wanting.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] elnene20:
Thank you for the reply...:) I did look at this link here ----> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2189965

Thats where all the modules or add on seem to be located... But I did not see one to remove the status bar or make it transparent in the LOCKSCREEN...

If I did miss it then I apologize for my ignorance and would kindly ask you or anyone to please provide a link for me to achieve what I seek...

Once again thank you... ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
That is where a lot are located, there are more floating around on XDA and in fact there was a thread about this a few months ago and someone linked it. I'll see if I can find it later tonight.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] elnene20:
That sounds great... Thank you for taking the time to help me...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigtoysrock:
I have yet to see a trans status bar on the lock screen. We use 3minit in our rom and it don't change it on the lock screen either.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
I can't seem to find it but there is a conversation that was in Q&A a few months ago where someone asked if they wanted him to make a flashable zip and then he came back and said it was doable with Xposed and one of the plugins and gave the link to it. I wasn't able to find it last night but I'm going to look again tonight before I call it quits.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] elnene20:
Cool... I will keep my fingers crossed and hope you come across the link... I did a little more searching as well and found this here http://xdaforums.com/tags.php?tag=xposed It might be in there since those are the threads tagged with xposed, But idk?

If not maybe some one here might be up for the challenge???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
OK, from what I've found you need to install the Xposed framework and then install the Tweakbox, the only problem is the tweakbox I've found is for ICS. It may or may not work. That was the way I found to do it in the thread. I will keep looking because there is still one that I remember reading that I haven't found.

Here is a blog link that says it works for ICS and JB so hopefully it will work, this one explains it with pictures so it should be easy to do:

http://c9vipers.blogspot.com/2013/06/how-to-make-status-bar-transparent-like.html

Again, I will keep looking tonight but I am pretty sure the thread I am looking for said pretty much the same thing.

EDIT!!!!:

Here is the link I was looking for damnit!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] elnene20:
Bummer!!! :( That link is probably the first thing I read to having a transparent bar... I also when ahead and used tweakbox... The only thing with that is, it does not make the LOCKSCREEN status bar TRANSPARENT nor does it REMOVE it... Wich is what I am looking for...

Either way, THANK YOU for taking the time out of your schedule to help me... ;)

Now I would be willing to donate a few bucks at any one that can make this happen for me... Thanx...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigtoysrock:
What rom you running?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] elnene20:
I am currently on stock with a few mods... I will post a screenshot of the info...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
Well that suck ass bad, it is supposed to remove it from both from what I understood but apparently it does not work. There were posts in that thread that said it didn't work either but there were some that said it did.

If I were you I would back everything up, via nandroid and back your apps up with Tibu, and flash Goodness. There may be other Roms that have it but the only one I know for certain that has it, without going and looking, is Goodness. There most likely won't be a mod made for stock if it hasn't already happened.

When we get official 4.2.2 then maybe, I believe the S4 comes with it stock so if we get the update soon ours most likely will too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] elnene20:
I will look into the Goodness Rom thanx... Once I seen the S4 with the transparent notification bar on the lockscreen I instantly wanted it on the note... I have been searching, but only found the tweakbox that gave it to me on the regular interface... So searched high and low for the option on the lockscreen and nothing...

So yeah, my offer still stands to any one that can make it happen for me...

Thanks for the help again...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigtoysrock:
Come to goodness and we will try our damndest to get that worked out for you and the rest of the users. Might take a bit, but we got one hell of a team over here. Just posted another rom for the vzw n2 also.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] LiTDiE:
I asked about this before, and I've done some searching on the subject.

This method works, but only if you use live wallpapers.

Install one of the many home screen status bar transparency mods, then change the home+lockscreen wallpaper to any live wallpaper.

Voila!

I don't know how or why this works, but it does.

The only downside is, as soon as you stop using a live wallpaper, the status bar on the lock screen won't be transparent anymore.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] elnene20:
I am positive you have a great team over there, I will consider flashing the ROM if that feature appears there... Thank you

Yes in deed you are correct... I guess I should of mentioned that earlier in my post... The thing with that is you can see the difference in the transparency... I am very particular in how I like things to look... I would much rather it be gone.. :) But thank you for pointing that out...

Let's hope some one takes this challenge before N3 comes out... ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AndroidClone:
This thread is pretty old but I too was searching how to make that black bar go away. I am on the 4.3 stock rooted and xposed. I found a way to do this within 20 minutes of searching.

Install the Tinted status bar module for Xposed

2) open systemui.apk

3) select all activities and slide the bars all the way to the left for the navigation bar tint settings!

Enjoy!!

so here's my issue its with the battery.. before on v3.5 I would get amazing battery best Rom I've ever gotten battery life from.. I switched off to a stock ics Rom cause of the camera and dropped network issue.. when I noticed the camera was fixed I flashed v3.7 and now I get horrible batt life literally 30% to 30 mins with medium use facebook texting browsing... I'm wondering what's going on?? and its not the battery I have 3 and they all die fast with this Rom.. is it my phone? any suggestions would be appreciated

Thanks for responding.. tried it on the holics rom too and horrible battery life idk what it is I'm running the virtuous from and seems to be ok but on sence roms it drains fast it also has random drops from 20% to 12% or just dies I usually run the from for 3 days but the battery doesn't improve is this just a vivid thing or is my device damaged and using a lot of battery?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] gabriel1946:
Also my my device gets very hot on those roms not the battery but below it I'm guessing the processor ?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] WildfireDEV:
It is possibly the processor because of the fact that you can overclock your processor on a custom rom.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] gabriel1946:
I'm thinking the same as well it was quite frequent on those roms I dont think its a app because before I install my apps the phone is pretty much vanilla so I turned off some sync and dropped my CPU to 720 MHz or so and also lowered my gpu with kernel tuner. Hope this works
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] gabriel1946:
Side note if u don't love sense go with the virtuous rom its awesome.. coupled with nova prime its been the most flawless rom for me fyi s off at&t vivid.. really well made rom I haven't run into any problems using it..IMO the borked rom and virtuous rom are the most stable on at&t version of vivid

I suppose an app or custom power options to boot into recovery and bootloader would be convenient too!

If you want to make a new backup there may be something in the play store that doesn't require root. Not sure of anything specific though.
