[Samsung Galaxy Mega] shade_emry:
This is free. heres another explanation as well as an unlock source... if your buddy buddy with the tech flashing it, ask him for the factory image with a usb you bring, or slip him 50 and post it here :0 and get a dongle that puts galaxies into FACTORY MODE, not odin mode. then flash.

Take it to a US Cellular store, they will unlock it for free, the unlock requires a flash, their are no codes that can unlock this. This unlocks the cdma part of the phone for cdma carriers, the sim is used for the 4g capability. a law passed in late 2014 by Obama's administration dictates that no carrier can have a carrier lock on a customer owned device. so if the ESN is bad *means stolen or not paid for, same thing* then its a no go. if its under a lease or pay plan, its a no go till you fully pay for the device.

half the reason carriers are going to leased devices now is to prevent unauthorized rooting of phones. and so they can develop proprietary images. This in essence, means your are "renting" the phone, with it not being yours, you cant root or unlock without their say so, nor can you reverse engineer their code legally.

the community is ahead, or has been, and just hasn't posted alot of known methods in fear (and respectively so) due to companies looking through these forums (and many other sources...)all the time.

IN SUMMARY take it to US Cellular and they will flash it for free, problem solved. while your at it, get it unlocked, dump the images and post it here please. US Cellular is not in the south.

Is this app even pushing 720p?? It looks more like the HQ you get on 3G instead of the HD on WiFi.

I have the WiFi only N7.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] nickj2010:
To be honest I don't think the youtube app has ever pushed proper 720p let alone 1080p when the HD option was checked.

If you want, you can use a modded version of the old youtube app that allows you to select 720p/1080p and has other tweaks such as screen off playback and the ability to download the videos.

Search google for "youtube modded apk" and it should be the first link from XDA. (I can't post links yet)

As far as I know the only functionality you lose is the floating window thing but personally I don't really see the use in that myself.

I was looking around some forums for other devices and I came across a thread in the Note 2 Themes and apps forum ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2383758 ) so I decided to try out the themed apps posted (Contacts, Messaging, Phone, Settings, Task Manager, DownloadProvider, File Manager, ClockPackage, Calculator Keyboard) though Settings and Phone wouldn't work (didn't try multiwindow) with our device, I thought this was some pretty cool stuff, and I wanted to share it with all of you. This is not my work, all credits go to Winterlove for these wonderful mods. All information and files needed are in the provided link.

Thanks. I'll go ahead and try some :highfive:

Quick question tho, did you also install tw_framework.res along with sec_contacts like it said? I'm a bit scared to replace framework.res

edit: I have tried- Jobmanager, calculator, SecContacts, SecMMS, Filemanager, and Download Provider and they all work fine. ClockPackage works ok but there are some text color issues on some headers.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] succumbtothegreater:
Yes, I did install the twframework-res.apk, it works fine for me, but to be safe, make a backup first just incase anything weird happens.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] dannyella:
As you may ask know, Android 4.4 is out and yet no official 4.2 yet for our note 10.1talk more of 4.4. Samsung gradually becoming as arrogant as Apple.. Lol

I'm starting to regret buying this device.. What do all think?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] conan1600:
Honestly I buy a device as what it is unless specifically told it will receive x in x months baring a software hitch that needs addressed. Every update is simply a bonus. If I want more I generally turn to the dev community for that something extra. Samsung I think said note 10.1 would get 4.2 I think and I like that but when they get around to it is up to them really. If updates are super important the nexus devices get them all quick. I don't really view it as arrogance so much as we have allocated this many men and this much funds for these updates and when they are ready you'll get them as it's an extra feature to an already finished product.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] SithDagger:
1. Android 4.4 was announced, it is not "out"

2. Do your homework next time, samsung has a habit of late updates, its a continuing trend with them. Want fast updates? Grab a nexus device.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Gatsrom:
As another said, announced but not out. I'm use a rom and I can't complain. I have no functionality missing and can complete all my tasks. An update really wouldn't improve that. If it was a security flaw or a device crippling problem I'd have a need for a patch more urgently. Really not a reason to regret buying a device.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] someonet1k:
Not this again.. :) Google's own statistic shows that the majority of users do not care one bit about which version of the software they are using. Another big part of the users with newer versions simply got a prompt and clicked on it.

I was all worked up when my dad's Note 1 got the JB treatment. You know my dad's reaction when he saw JB (jumping from Gingerbread mind you)? "What's the difference?".

The people who want the latest version of Android are mostly fans of technology. And most of them usually just go with newer devices or don't rely on stock software.

So I'm not at all surprised that Samsung is lazy with its updates. There's no real pressure for them and since they are primarily a mass manufacturer then what do they care if 1 000 000 people (probably a lot less) around the world are feeling left out when they probably sell that many devices (total volume) every few days.

The good part is - Android is still open, so you can always jump to a ROM and get the new software if you so wish. I myself am now spoiled by some of Samsung's apps and features so as long as it's Jelly Bean, I'm happy and it does what I've bought the device to do. IF we get 4.4 - great. It should have been 5.0, but again - who cares besides geeks like us.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] elzeus:
4.3 should come out after october when they update the S3 and S4, Samsung noted that the note 10.1 would get the next major android update at the time it was thought it would be 5.0 but now we see it is 4.4. I'm worried now that we will never get 5.0 on the 10.1, but that will be many months down the line.

It's just business 101.

Samsung is not going to release 4.2.2/4.3 for the Note 10.1 or even the Note 2 for that matter with the impending release of the Note 3 and Note 10.1 2013 Model.

It would hurt potential sales and upgrades. They will come but I doubt anytime soon.,

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] TheWerewolf:
Actually, 4.4 is not out yet. All they've done is announced the name. 4.3 is still the current version.

That being said, given that the new Note 10.1 will ship with 4.3 (I believe), it is a little annoying (ok - a lot annoying) that there's no news about an upgrade for existing Note 10.1s...

Updates are rolling out for so Samsung devices

I have the Tab 2 7.0 bought last August with ICS on it. Already it has been updated twice 4.1.2 and this August 4.2.2. Samsung is now updating Note 2. So the update is coming and Note 10 has a lot more features to tweak. You sound in a hurry for no reason. Why not just enjoy your tablet as is until it does. Apps make the tablet so if you want newness add some apps.

I usually change roms but on my non-rooted tablet launchers, themes and apps. Amazon gives a free paid app every day and plenty of sources to get apps besides Playstore and Samsung just virus scan them first or use an old Android device as test dummy.

It appears to be reading now, but for some reason I cannot mount /data without root for file storage. Am I missing something? It's been almost a year since I've last tried data2sd. I remember having most of the /data partition available for file storage. Is there a revised, recommended setup for partitions?

[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
No, that's just because fdisk is a very old program. You can also use "fdisk -l -u /dev/block/mmcblk1" to display partition offsets in sectors instead of obsolete cylinders, then the "Start" offsets should be a multiple of 2048. Some cards may be a bit faster if they are a multiple of 8192.

But your screenshot shows that you have two FAT partitions and no ext4 partition, that seems to be your real problem for Data2SD.

3) Copied Cromi and both of _that's variants to the 2gb partition on the MicroSD

4) Installed Cromi 5.01 with Hund's data2sd kernel.

5) Disabled fsync and did NOT turn on cache2sd
