Also, if anyone is still struggling with the TalkBack feature, I did some fancy googleing and learned its a universal TouchWiz bug. I read this forum post here http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...4-voice-over-browser-gallary-selection-2.html

Suggestions range from using alternative apps to disabling all TTL features.

Aparantly, Samsung already knows about this.

If I help someone I don't do so for a button bro that's all I do so because I want to. I thank people that help me I just don't expect it for something I choose to do. Maybe the person is testing whatever direction was given before thanking but really if I help and someone posts got it thanks that's good enough for me. It wasn't me in this I'm just pointing out your to dang grown to be crying about a button. And it's only to seem smarter then the next and nothing more.

No need to back n forth about a button man if this was 12 and under age thread then I would understand but your an adult and it's really silly to make such a issue over something that gets you nothing man. I could see if you actually built this rom or had a foot in it then yes thanks are deserved but your just a user like the rest of us that figured something out before someone else got to post it. Some of us can flash a rom without issue because we can read and know to do so before hand and if everyone actually reads the op then there would be no need for most of the help being given. Why we can't just enjoy the experience pass it along and keep it moving they should just do away with the button because it's nothing but problems and commotion when someone don't have the amount of thanks as the next.

Lets kill the "Thanks" button discussion. It is getting tiresome.

I was just letting someone know about the button, as those that contribute most in this thread appreciate the gesture. That is all.

No more from me on the subject.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Negan:
Ok enough about the thanks button guys. Clearly some don't understand it or care to use it and no point further debating it. However there are certain perks to it. Ie you need a certain amount of thanks to posts ratio for an recognized themer/ recognized contributer title. I know this because I was offered both by the senior moderation team out of the blue a few weeks ago and part if the criteria is the thanks count which is partially an indicator on helping others which is important out here. Whereas if my thanks count was really low it may be interpreted differently. Anyway long story short the mods made a small error and I meet all criteria except im actually not eligible for the title until march. So that's one reason people value the thanks button.

Now back to development we go

Now that you have talkback installed can you turn it off?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] zuckerj:
Hmph... What could I be doing wrong? This does not work either.

1) Downloaded file

2) Renamed "SBrowser.apk" in "/system/app" to "SBrowser.apk.orig"

3) Copied in "Browser.apk" and changed the permissions to rw r r

4) Rebooted

Now I do not see Internet in my app drawer.

I then renamed the file to "SBrowser.apk"

Still nothing. Now if I rename this New browser file to something else, and rename "SBrowser.apk.orig" to "SBrowser.apk" I'll see Internet in the app drawer again.

---------- Post added at 04:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:23 PM ----------

No. I did not see any option for turning it off, just for configuring it. Nothing in the configuration menus allows me to disable it for specific, nor all, apps, that I could find.

I then disabled the Talk Back service and that still had no effect.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] vebulous:
Didn't work. I think we're missing a major step in the whole "copy a system app to /system/app then change permissions and presto"

Because I'm having issues with snote3.apk and zuckerj is having the same issue with sbroswer.apk

I even went into recovery and fixed permissions.. although, I just reminded myself that maybe I should clear cache and dalvic.

(will report back)

Apparently, Action Memo is supposed to take the popup's place. Kinda dissapoint.

Also, Action Memo works better in landscape....which is unintuitive for me. I'm going to keep trying to get olde S Note 2 with popup note. It just felt much more refined.

A lot of people were having the issue when n3 first came out. Some solved it by changing from the 5ghz band to the 2.4 ghz band. I guess some people might have just given up on it though.

A few have asked about the devil kernel and this rom. Like Ash359, I'm holding out on the 4.3 bootloader. Everything is working perfectly for me with the Devil-2.2.5b dual dated 12-26-13.

Copy the new apk to /system/app and reboot. Quite simple process really :)

I always add a 1, and add q to the end of the apk. Makes it easier to find if you have to use recovery to rename it back.
