Hi all...

i have the QTEK 2020 / XDAii and have been trying to change the Rom from french into english for a while now and have finally come to a solution for the county id error message that keeps on comin up when trying to do so...

well here is how to void the country id error, but jus make sure you know wat you are doin...

there is a file called xda2nbftool.exe that you use to edit the Rom before putting it on, this helps void the country id error...if you jus do a search for that on the net, it should bring you to a site where you can download it from and will also give you a long step by step explanation on how to use it...good luck!!!!

this is just a staight forward explanation of what u need, if you need any more info let me know...

regards...

[Q] is flash most stable on CM10Flex or ReFlex ROM?

CM10Flex http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1935582

ReFlex http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1969887

both ROM's are excellent for me but your opinions on adobe flash performance would be appreciated. also on HTML5 video.

personally I find flash slightly more stable on ReFlex but if find CM10Flex slightly more attractive.

any opinions? any tips on stability?

thanks.

I'm at 1800 MHz CPU and 733 MHz GPU - Just because my phone doesn't seem to run any hotter, battery life isn't impacted much - I overclock both on my PC, so I fall in the "why not get the free performance boost" sector.

Both 1800/640. I'm also in the why not free power crowd.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kingofkings11:
I've only over clocked the cpu to 1704 I'm all for the why not get the free power but I'm also cognizant of the argument that over clocking can reduce the lifespan of the hardware. Anybody have any comments or views on that? Would like to hear some other opinions.

i haven't found the need to oc the note 2. just running a custom rom that removed all the bloatware on it does wonders for me.

i am running the newest jedi and way new to the root and rom thing. it's nice to be able to overclock or underclock if i wanna.

the note 2 is by far the best phone i have ever owned.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] erick161:
What benefit do you guys see in over clocking the GPU?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kaibosh99:
I would love to see benchmarks with overclocking of the Note 2, I am leery to touch it because something like Asphalt 8 already makes the phone VERY HOT around the camera lense area on the back.

ps. Asphalt 8 was unplayable on my phone with the stock rom, no matter what you did to clean up the ram, etc, even on the 'Medium' graphics setting. It hitched, it lagged, it hiccuped, and it made a game where you are constantly relying on drifting unplayable. After switching to the Probam rom, the game flies - on the highest setting. It never hitches, ever. I don't know if it is Android 4.3 giving the hardware more breathing room or just a cleaner overall OS that uses less Ram, either way the difference was ridiculous - and I am not overclocked. Yet. ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] wase4711:
since benchmarks mean absolutely nothing, when it comes to comparing phones, you'll be hard pressed to find anything posted here..most people, with a decent knowledge of how phones work, understand that posting these things are nothing more than an attempt to brag that your phone may or may not be running faster than someone else's; the truth being that no 2 phones do anything exactly like the other, no 2 people have the same exact setup, files, and other stuff on their phones, so these types of comparisons are completely meaningless..

I dont play Asphalt 8, but I have read other posts about people saying it makes their phones run hot...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kaibosh99:
Uhhh... How do you come up with the logic to say that "benchmarks mean absolutely nothing"? They certainly do mean something, the app is stress testing every functionality of the phone and measuring the results. What they are testing are systems (both hardware and software) that are used to push GAMES. Not 'Angry Birds', I am talking about engines pushing tens of thousands of polys with textures, sound effects, physics processing, redrawing the screen several times over for effects like shaders, etc, etc, etc....

Overclocking certainly makes a VERY REAL difference on a pc, how is a phone any different? You push the limits of the hardware beyond the specs it is 'rated for', some phones will make too much heat even with minor overclocking and result in crashes, lockups, and finally permanent failure. Some phones will handle the extra heat, and overclocking will result in noticable boost in performance. Yes, some game engines are locked at a specific framerate and will not be able to take advantage of 'more power', but in general a serious game engines uses all the resources available in the form of raw framerate.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] wase4711:
using benchmarks to compare your phone to mine is meaningless; you dont have the same apps as me, you dont have the same settings as me, you dont have the same number of accounts checking email, you dont have the same amount of background apps as me, your settings are not the same as mine, and so on..

if you are having serious issues with your phone, benchmarking can be useful to determine if its software or hardware related, but otherwise, it has no true comparitive meaning...Go ahead a post a poll here, and see what I mean..anyone with extensive experience on this topic will agree..

I've been hacking/modding phones and pc's for 30 years, so, on this topic, I know of what I speak..

I'm not to tech saavy so here's my question. With the way the new droid processors are set up is it going to make development harder for those devices?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
Update

When I am getting calls from number in other states (outside my local area) whose number is not saved in international format +91-10digitmobile no. That time I see some Chinese location name on the caller name.

But when I have other numbers calling whose format is in correct international format +91-10digitmobile no even then its not showing name of the caller.

Is it a problem with contacts app?

is it a problem of format in which numbers are saved?

is it a problem that CSC (CHN) is not able to read the contact format at the time of the call but after call logs show the name?

Please help someone must be knowing the answer to this problem.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] chongns:
i suspecting the CFRoot sqllite is causing the problem.

cause after you flash the cfroot, there are few lib file been overwrited.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
Oh so you also believe that CF root may be contributing to this problem.

Can we do something to sort this out or is it inherited from amit bagaria base version?

I tried my best to go step by step so I could reach some conclusions.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] chongns:
Try this mod ramdisk from BAM CWM Universal RC15 but using ZCKPL original kernel

this is aim to remove CF-root mod, replace with CWM but retain ZCKPL zimage so you can use 2 way call recording.

ZCKPL kernel file size is bigger, it have 7mb, usually those CFroot size is about 6.5mb.

didn't know is it can cause bootloop or not, but if i'm not mistaken our Kernel max size is 8mb
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
Oh great that was fast I will be able to try this after 3 hours from now. Will update by then. Keeping fingers crossed hope it works.

I flash ZCKPL & then apply this modified CWM then restore contacts all this while I wont sign in to google account ....is that right procedure?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] chongns:
1. clean flash ZCKPL

2. factory reset using *2767*3855*

3. flash this CWM

4. test those issue before you flash gapps
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
1. installed ZCKPL & factory reset using the code *2767*3855# then added 1 contact called that number & the name shows without any problem. Everything working fine.

2. restored contacts with .vcf file which I had exported from the contact book itself, called the number everything working fine names show but additionally it shows above the contact name Xinjiang Tulufan seems some kind of China telecom operator.

3. Restarted the phone called again to double check everything working fine with call recording & caller names, (all this while no Google account no rooting as yet)

4. flashed CF root ZCKPL-CWM-08-08-2013.tar & Call names disappear now called names are not showing for incoming /outgoing any calls. So its indeed CF root which is doing mischief. CWM reports you are using some older version kernel hence some features are disabled No gapps no google account as yet.

5. Repeated step 1-2 then flashed older CF root which you had provided ZCKPL-CWM-29-07-2013.tar that also not displaying caller names but surprisingly its shows Xinjiang Tulufan

6. installed ZCKPL again without factory reset so root files are gone & my older contacts /logs remained as it is caller name again shows & working perfectly fine.

So Its the CF root which is over writing some of these files hence its breaking this feature. I cant take back of these stock rom files since phone is not rooted so its a catch 22 situation.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] chongns:
I flash ZCKPL to check on you issue. the below is what i found

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
In the screen shot you posted it does not show caller name only showing the number which you have masked with white.

In my case there are 3 lines as follows (cant take screenshot as I am not rooted)

Xinjiang Tulufan

caller name

caller number

Then I have no clue what is happening during CF root that name stops showing after that, I remove it by re flashing ZCKPL the name start showing again.

May be there is a way telecom company servers detect the global mobile numbers & its being read from some hard code in the system which is getting replaced when applying Cf root.

Can you think of any other reason of this bug?

Thanks for all your time & effort in trying to solve my problem.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] chongns:
the SS you taken form my short, is the one without contact detail in phone book, i tried with and without contact detail in phone book to check on it.

the Photo with contact start from 33*** is the one i import from .vcf after flash the CWM 08-08-2013.zip.

edit: maybe you try my flash step 4 to see will it help
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
In my case this code does not work I have to use # instead * at last *2767*3855#

This is what I want to do but this code is not working for me which gives a list of CSC codes may be I need to change this to INU since I am in India

This flashing happens in download mode via odin so the phone reboots & then I get normal samsung logo & boot animation & full menus visible after that, at this stage should it reboot again? if yes then I am not sure that after full booting did it reboot or not.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] chongns:
I will try to make a zip file for the CSC from DDMF1 for to inject into the system CSC
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] chongns:
CSC for DDMF1 attached
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
Do I flash this UPDATE-CSC-DDMF1.zip in recovery mode?

Then apply CF root once again

or should apply CF root then apply this CSC?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
Ok finally I managed to get the CSC list menu it only shows CHZ & CHN.

CHN is selected as of now I assume once I update the UPDATE-CSC-DDMF1.zip it will show me India codes too which I select & apply.

Awaiting your reply before I move out then will try this in the late evening.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] chongns:
flash after CF root, else you wouldnt have CWM recovery to flash this zip, right ?:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
Silly me dint think of that :o will apply this in the evening when I return back.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] chongns:
ok, I found problem on ZCKPL-CWM-08-08-2013.zip, the /data somehow not able to mount correctly.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sithjedi333:
Hi all,

I'm running a Verizon GN2 with Jellybeans 20 ROM. I use Google Play Music for all my music and would like to stick with that. All of my listening is through the earphone jack, I'm not concerned with loudspeaker volume or quality. I switched from an iPhone 5 and Spotify and am not finding the audio quality on the GN2 to be as clear. The volume is fine though.

What kernel/app combos do you recommend? I would prefer to stick with the Jellybeans preinstalled kernels if possible but am willing to try others if they would be better. Some folks have suggested Perseus/Stweaks and the default gain mod, and I'm looking into them, but my understanding is they primarily increase the

volume and not the clarity, and may not address my issue.

Should I try Viper4android and AC!D?

Please let me know if there are others I should research.

Thanks for reading.

Thanks for the suggestion. Do you know if Neak is compatible with any of the SDswap options when installing Beans 20 and if so, which one (PBJ, Perseus etc)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MunkinDrunky:
Faux has boeffla sound. Its pretty good. Sincee flashing kernels is easy peasy try out and see which sounds best to you. I might be wrong but since beans rom has the option to choose kernel before sd swap im assuming our tw kernels all are good for swap. Ive never used the sd swap so id be safe and make sure for more advise on that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sithjedi333:
Thanks guys. I installed Perseus/Stweaks which didn't improve things much. Now I'm running stock beans with Viper4Android which is pretty good but was a little complicated to install. Faux/Boeffla sounds interesting and I will try that next time I flash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ezas:
PB&J also supports Boeffla sound. Boeffla is good if mostly what you want to do is enable the high fidelity features of the Wolfson DAC. But you need good phones to hear the difference. It also lets you set the gain. It has hardware based

EQ but that does not work for me Using Pandora. Though it may work with other sound apps. Put another way Boeffla is for a clean, minimum signal chain.

Viper used for basically complete control of your sound. There is no way to describe it in a sentence or two. It's kernel independent and you install it by downloading a zip, extracting the APK and installing it by clicking on the APK. You can do all of this in Root Explorer. I used to be from the less signal processing is good processing, but I have become a big fan of Viper.

A Google search on Viper4android well bring up the XDA thread as the first hit.

Boeffla and Viper can coexist, but of course the recommendation is to only run one sound mod at a time.

It can seem daunting all the settings but the first couple of posts do a pretty good job of explaining them.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaizero:
Are you on a GSM version of GNex? Are you running stock 4.2.2.? Your phone may be trying to download the OTA update to 4.3 but it's failing to install. Why not leave your phone connected to WiFi when you are at home so it doesn't use your mobile data?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amd-dude:
Yes I am on the GSM Gnex, I am on Slim ROM 4.2.2 I did try leaving on the wifi and nothing happens, it is only pulling when on mobile data, which is a very stupid thing.

OP I read around and it seems that it is a updated being pulled, but I don't understand how, because the ROM I am on does not have OTA available. Some users are saying maybe google play is sending the info (hey this phone is on 4.2.2) and then google is trying to push the latest 4.3 to the phone. It could be true, I am flashing 4.3 as we speak to see if this would remedy the situation.

It sucks how all of my credit is now gone because of this.

OP check out this thread and read my last post, upgrade to 4.3 and it seems to cure the problem. Looks like it was an OTA issue.
