It should do it automagically. Unless you have a startup app disabler it executes the commands at startup (it does for me anyway). Try clearing app data, uninstalling and reinstalling.

Search for "sbrowser.apk" yields this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=48891633&highlight=sbrowser#post48891633

Rename your /system/app/sbrowser.apk to sbrowser.apk.original (or whatever)

Download the sbrowser.apk or secbrowser.apk from the link

Move it into the /system/app folder and rename it to sbrowser.apk

Set permissions to rw-r-r (or 644. Or, Owner: Read, Write. Group: Read. Other: Read)

Restart phone

EDIT: Please NOTE!: If you download this, and see the filesize is less than 1MB, it did not download. We were having this issue when zuckerj and I were trying to get this to work. Sbrowser.apk should be about 10MB and SecBrowser.apk should be about 4MB

EDIT2: Here's secbrowser.apk (an older version) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=48930442&highlight=secbrowser+apk#post48930442

It is believed that the new sbrowser.apk is a reskin of Chrome instead of a rework of the aosp browser (hence why it's 10mb compared to 4mb)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] zuckerj:
Known issue.

You need to get an older version of the stock browser.

If you search posts by me you should find links provided by others to older browser versions.

Good luck.

any news with SaberKernel for our 4.3 yet? I'm currently under devil kernel and i don't like the battery life of it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] zuckerj:
Yes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] vebulous:
Personally, I haven't tried any of the devil kernels on JMX2. Since the OP clearly states "If you change Kernels at any point, do not report any issues as they very well may be due to the kernel change not the ROM" I haven't even given it a thought. I think on JMX1 everyone was using Devil 2.0.4

If you feel an urge to test it out, be my guest. Just so you know, if you run into problems, post on the devil thread (linked in sig). OR find someone who has success wit the kernel and PM them (cough [MENTION=4981808]ash329[/MENTION] cough). We're getting too much unnecessary traffic as it is.

The end-game is to have the 4.3 sources for the kernel so ptmr3 can cook us up a delicious, low-calorie saberkernel. Once this ROM has its own, custom kernel... aces, my friend. Aces.

Snote doesn't work properly in this rom. It's a known issue. Although the Snote app only force closed on me once then it worked fine. Although I had to restore an old backup from Jedi rom x and I kept it in it since note popup is a feature I find much needed and it's a reason I have the note 2. Hopefully x3 will have this issue fixed.

I found updating the modem to mk7 resolved the data drop issues and no issues whatsoever with the browser either.

---------- Post added at 03:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:45 AM ----------

I recommend flashing the mk7 modem. this resolved all my problems and didn't require changing any security settings.

---------- Post added at 03:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:47 AM ----------

It is easier to update the modem.

---------- Post added at 04:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:48 AM ----------

Try updating the modem instead. It's faster and less intensive than SeLinux. I had same issues your were having. I have up on this rom too after trying selinux with no results and wanam also I finally tried the modem with immediate results.

Devil Kernel (4.3/4.4) thread. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2239453

On a separate Note (I never get tired of that pun); I have a legitimate development question: In order to compile a saber kernel for the new 4.3 release, a dev would need the source code release. Unfortunately, there's no new source code for the t889 (tmobile variant), but there's an update on the 7105 (international lte variant). Hypothetically, can one use that source to build against our device?

I've compiled software before, but never a kernel. I'm just super curious about this all of a sudden.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] yankees45us:
I was the same way. Luckily I still had an x1 download available and also a full previous backup. I reverted back to x1 by an old backup and installed mk7 rom for the data drop issues and I'm happy. At least I have snote pop-up feature. I hope x3 fixes everything. Or maybe a touchwiz kitkat rom will be available soon
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] zuckerj:
Three quick comments.

First, flashing a new modem/radio, while relatively quick and easy, is definitely more intense and intrusive than installing an app.

Second, when someone says to flash the latest radio, they are saying the same thing as flash the latest modem.

Third, not sure how the modem/radio is supposed to solve an app issue related to the browser, that is at issue also when wifi is in use.

But your over whelming point of making sure you have the latest modem is a good suggestion, and one that is specified in the OP and a few hundred times throughout this thread.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] yankees45us:
Well, for me to use wanam and selinux and set to permissive it took several steps. For the modem it was only one step, flashing the radio/modem and it was done. Flashing the radio may be more intensive internally but step by step wise it was easier for me to flash the modem. Plus you can do a quick backup of your current modem and be safe also. Either way I'm just posting what worked for me after trying the permissive solution and it not working. Also I didn't say the modem solves your browser issues. But thanks for your input. That's why I love xda, input from many different sources with several possible solutions.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] zuckerj:
Oh you quoted me regarding the browser and mentioned flashing the modem. I assumed you were referring to the process as a solution, otherwise I'm not sure why you quoted me there.

If you simply install the SELinux changer app, you simply run the app, and select to change to permissive, there are no other steps necessary.

If you go the Wanam route, it is a tad more involved.

Anyway, I was just pointing out that flashing the radio and flashing the modem are the same thing (unless I'm missing something).

But like u said, good to share, and yes, multiple ways of doing things.

But usually only a few ways to do them correctly. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] yankees45us:
Got it. Maybe doing it from my mobile phone messed my quotes up. I definitely did not mean to imply that. But I'm glad you brought it up so that no one gets mixed up.

I'm just hoping people that keep having issues with data drops try both the permissive option and the modem/radio option.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] razielpr:
Since flashing this rom I have constant data and signal drop I'm on the latest modem and the official OTA 4.3 update so any suggestions on how to fix this issue?? And I haven't flashed any kernel I'm using the one that came with the rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] zuckerj:
Did you read the last few posts?

I can't understand why anyone wouldn't update to the latest especially when it's just a simple flashable zip.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] aurvandel:
I'm just guessing but you should be able to pull it from any stock bases 4.1 rom and push it to the system folder and then set the permissions to whatever the 4.3 snote settings are and see if that works. Of it takes anything more in depth than that it's way out of my league. Oh and remember to either delete, disable, or rename the 4.3 version of snote and creating a nandroid backup before you do it is a good idea in case you get a bunch of fcs.

For anyone with dropped signal issues, you could also try to use the built in setenforce command to set selinuxmode to permissive via terminal. You of course would have to download terminal onto your phone or use adb. Not sure if it was mentioned already. Just tossing it out there.

The proper usage is "setenforce 0" without quotes.

Then, in the firmware page, search for your model number (n7105) and you'll be presented with a long list from multiple carriers around the world.

Unfortionetly, EVERYTHING has stopped click ok repeat...

OK, this is new.

Running JM X2 since it came out, wifi patch, stock kernel, updated modem no xposed framework changes. Occasional hangup and reboot mostly flawless in every way. Until today, when the phone reboots and won't come back without a battery pull. On reboot I get multiple popups saying "Unfortionately, **ad any system and app you can think of here** has stopped" with every system I've heard of including keyboard etc.. Several rounds of this I full wipe, cache, dalvik etc re install JM X2. Nothing changes. At the clean setup screen popups keep coming "Unfortunately, **** has stopped" no keyboard so no way to proceed. Two full wipes and re installs of JM X2 nothing changes.

The closest I've found in searching is a note 3 this happened to but the wipe/install was the cure. In the past other apps have caused the,"unfortunately, *** has stopped" and its easily fixed wiping app data but this seems to be at system level. And one of the first to go is keyboard.

I don't mind going back to Jedi X20 for now it gets me on my feet again. But this one has me intrigued, any ideas? I'm not new, I go back to the G1 and Jesus Freak, I did search, look up my posts. Thanks in advance.

***So if this happens to you, Odin back to stock or mrRobinson's base. This gets you solid again and and on 4.3 You can JM X2 from there. Note, CWM Recovery was, apparently, not wiping everything, After flashing from Odin.You have to "Volume UP, home, power" to factory reset and clear cache at this point too otherwise you will carry over settings.
