[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] speedyg0nz:
Is there any way to disable the KitKat music lockscreen feature? I would prefer to see my default lockscreen widget (DashClock) and not the music control upon waking up my device. With the music lockscreen, it overrides the default order and shows up first upon device wake.

The reason for asking is because I'm mounting the Nexus 7 in the car. With the DashNotifier extension, DashClock can automatically turn on the screen and display new notifications as they come in. However, if I'm running Spotify (or other music apps), the music lockscreen controls would be shown first instead, requiring me to swipe once before displaying DashClock. This defeats the purpose of automating the entire process for hands-free notifications. So is there any way to disable the music lockscreen or make DashClock show as default regardless of music playback?

Just wondering if anyone's tried playing any games with OnLive while using a PS3 controller without having to root and use Sixaxis? I wanna try the Arkham games, and if it works, I'm gonna go buy a controller.

Dear All,

Is there a software that i need in order to convert Windows media Player 9 files, in .avi format before downloading to my Xda Exec? I tried a couple of times but it just says the format is not supported. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks

When you got WMV files your Universal's media player shouldn't have much problems with it. For larger files, say like ripped DVD's I use PocketDivxEncoder to shrink them & TCPMP to play them back on my Magician. Works like a dream & both programs are free :-).

I often use Windows Media Encoder to convert avi's and mpegs to wmv files.

The built in wizard includes options for Pocket PC sized files (320x240, low-ish quality sound) but you can totally vary the Bitrate (video & sound) to suit whatever quality/size balance you prefer.

You can download it from here:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/forpros/encoder/default.mspx

And it's totally free.

The only downside is that it doesn't seem to be able to rip a DVD directly and convert to wmv. I normally need to use a 3rd party ripper to convert the dvd to mpeg or avi.

Nowadays though with my new 4Gig SD Card - I just whap the full movie (700 odd meg) onto it and play it with the best PPC media player available: TCPMP (The Core Project Media Player) :D

(Oh - Windows Media Encoder is also useful if you have a TV card in your desktop - you can stream the TV out onto the net/intranet allowing you to watch your programmes on your XDA :-)

Still unable to convert

Hi guys,

I downloaded the Windows media encoder but i am unable to convert the .avi file. Everytime i choose the input file and the output and click finish it says ''Input media format is invalid'' Why is that?????

I chose the Pocket PC option as i would like to view the file on my XDA but i keep getting this error msg.

Would it be helpful, if i downloaded another software for conversion???

Still unable!!!!!

Hi guys,

Downloaded the PocketDivxencoder and converted the file but when i tried playing it on my XDA it says file format not supported!!!!!

Is it a problem with the Windows Media player that i am using?????

Is Windows media player the default player for the XDA? Would it be helpful if i installed another Media Player?

Where can i get this TCPMP ?

Any suggestions would greatly appreciated,

thanks and best regards,

What kind of avi are you using, a divx maybe? Cause avi is just a container for many formats & wme doesn't support all of them.

[REF] Your One-Stop Shop for the Note II (Kernels, Roms, Guides, Modems, Etc.)

Good reading in here. Some may be old info. Most of it will be the versions though. Procedures etc. don't really change.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] liquidutopia:
A little while ago I was intrigued by rooting my phone and possibly trying something different. At the moment it is rooted and I ran into a few problems. I have no idea what I am doing but I have a fairly good mind set as long as I am taught by doing. I am mostly hands on with this and reading anything at this point isn't helping. When I rooted my phone I ran into a few issues but managed to fix a few things on my own. Gallery stopped working but got that fixed and snote does not work now. I am assuming it will not work due to Knox. I guess what I am looking to do is understand fully the ways to flash the proper things and how. So far all I have done is rooted using cl auto root then I found a stock Rom which I flashed after and so far no other than snote. At the time I wanted to obtain note 3 apps like air command. Now that 4.4.2 or whatever is coming out I am stuck at what to do. I am also trying to learn and do it the right way. Slow is good. I appreciate the reach out and thanks again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
No worries.

Let's start with KitKat, the next version of firmware to be pushed out whenever ATT feels like it.

The phone needs to be totally stock, non-rooted, no custom recovery, all the original apps. If it's not, the Over The Air update will fail, Usually not a problem since within a week or two one of our gurus gets the files and builts a flashable zip file.

When you flash a ROM it usually with just contain the /system directory. That's the guts of the ROM. Has the apps, ROM properties, it's where the super user command lives.

You can download a ROM. Use unzip and look at the files in there. If a zip file has kernel.img or modem.img the builder has included the modem file, which drives network connections. And the kernel file, which I consider the heart of the ROM.

There are two main custom recovery options. TWRP and CWM.

Here's a good guide for TWRP.

http://www.addictivetips.com/android/what-is-twrp-how-to-install-use-it-on-android-devices-guide/

Explains flashing. backing up your ROM, restoring, etc. A must read.

Here's a guide I wrote that explains how to got back to the original stock ROM the Note 2 shipped with, and getting it back to the 4.3 OTA.

Another good read. But I may be a touch biased.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2618447

Since you did the CF-ROOT, you know how to use ODIN, You can flash TWRP from ODIN. Instructions are in my guide.

As Knox hosed up Note 2, I doubt it. If you want to practice, read the TWRP guide. Then read my guide, go to Post #3. Do option 2. You will flash TWRP, then download one of the stock ROMs built by one of the gurus I mentioned above.

That will get you rooted and should fix your SNote issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] liquidutopia:
I know at this point it will fail as I am rooted and if one try to do an update it says I messed with it. I will read your guides above and see what I can make of it. Using Odin was fairly simple but still curious as to which place to put the files in Odin and is it better to put files on ex's card, sdcard or do it from pc
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
A majority of the flashes in ODIN require the files in PDA. Any deviation from that will hopefully be stated in the instructions.

I'm not sure what you mean by this ?

is it better to put files on ex's card, sdcard or do it from pc

Are you still talking about ODIN? If so from PC......
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] liquidutopia:
Yes sorry... I have mobile Odin as well which if I am not mistaken allows you to do the same. Or is it strictly for seeing what you have flashed?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
Not sure. I strictly use the PC version. Like what's in my guide. The ODIN 3.07 I think I posted.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] liquidutopia:
Before I go to far here. I just wanted to clarify a few things. I have ai317m which is Rogers Canadian note 2. I am not sure if this makes any difference or not with twrp or the toms u were referring to in your guide. I guess for now let's see if I can get it back to stock so I can for now get back to New Jurkat update. I meant to mention since I had flashed a stock Rom after cfauto that the battery and speed has been great. I can run like 2 to 3 days without charging.

Anyways I am looking at guide now and trying to figure out which one I am supposed to use. Oh and I believe I have twrp installed already just fighting to get booted into it. Been giving me a hard time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] liquidutopia:
Just realized your guide is the same one I have been using. It has made the most sense to me. I guess the issue screwing me up is finding compatible roms for my phone. Also when I install this rom to 4.1.1 am I losing what I have or will it all remain. Then update to 4.3
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
The 4.1.1 will torch everything. What are you looking to save? Apps ? If so use like Titanium Backup or Mybackup Pro to save them off.

Save them to external sdcard.

As far as what is a compatible ROM, everything under the AT&T Galaxy Note II Android Development is good. There are different flavors. Stick with stock to start off with.

When that is done I will try to do another backup to PC. What's correct way or best way getting into teepee or should I even worry about it.

Before you do anything verify the download do not contain sboot.bin. If so flashing in ODIN will fail.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] liquidutopia:
Hey sorry, had to stop what I was doing last night. Unfortunately pain is a big part of my life right now and 2 hrs of restless sleep a day sucks. Concentration is toast as well. Do you think it's safe to just flash 4.1.2? Or should I follow another course of action? Being a newb at this I am wairy about messing up my only comms at the moment. No idea about snooty or where it is located or how to find. If it is contained in the md5 file I am not sure how to see it. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
No worries man. Take it easy. This sh1t will still be here.

The sboot.bin file is stay spot as kernel.img and modem.img. If you don't see it with those it ain't there.

You talking about flashing stock 4.1.2? I have to review what you're on now. Reloading my win 7 machine right now. Lucky I have all the drivers on a drive it can see. Like network car driver.

Maybe tomorrow til I get back to you. Take it easy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] liquidutopia:
Np. I have only gotten as far as unzipping the 4.1.2 stock file from Sams at this point. Only files in it are md5 and a dll. Is the sboot contained in the md5 file or is that elsewhere? And yes I was assuming you wanted me to flash 4.1.2 to see if that would bring me back to stock Rom. I guess I would have to UN root phone before I do this though? Will wait for your instructions. ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
No need to unroot.

The .md5 file is what you will choose as the file to put in the PDA section.

Like what is in the picture in Post #1 here

You are just using the 4.1.2 stock image vice the 4.1.1 that's called out in the guide.

No need to use the .dll for anything.

Ahhh. Gotcha....

I think we're going to need the guru Zen Arcade to build you a file like this,

AT&T i317 ODIN 4.3 UCUBMK6 TZ.IMG & UCUBMJ4 (Leak) PARAM.BIN (AT&T Note 2 ONLY)

But for your I317MVLUCMK5

And here's why from Zen's thread...

If you *are* running the Official 4.3 (MK6) bootloader: (WHICH IS ATT's)

After flashing one of the stock packages, you may need to flash the MK6 tz.img and optionally the param.bin from the MJ4 leak. This is likely to be so if you are on the MK6 bootloader and have previously reverted to 4.1 firmware. The zip below contains two Odin packages. If after flashing the stock package and you are on the MK6 bootloader, try flashing the tz only package first (in Odin), then the tz+param package to see if this gets your phone to boot. You may also need to boot recovery and do a factory reset.

So in your mind replace the MK6 with your firmware's version MK5.

I wrote the guide for the ATT MK6 firmware. But I think the issue that Zen describes is going to affect you.

Unfortunately I'm not sure. I'm glad we took it slow.

Let me think on it, I've been looking around I haven't seen anyone that has tried the downgrade on the i317m.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] liquidutopia:
If it's not possible then that is fine. If I have to wait to do a update to the new kitkat then so be it. Honestly I would be happy for everything to be working properly. So far I have found 3 things not working properly. 1. Snote will open but will not open files or create new ones. 2. Exdcard is write protected but I am still trying to unlock it. 3. Gallery was messed up but I seem to have resolved that issue. I honestly do not mind trying differnt roms and such. I just want to make sure I am doing it with guidance and obviously using roms that are stable and are not going to give me headaches. If you have patience enough to hold my hand that is fantastic. I am willing to learn just keep in kind I am just starting out. ?. Funny now my emoji are black and white. Should be color. Oh well. I appreciate all your patience.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zen Arcade:
Jumping in here.. 1st, a disclaimer - not a guru :D

liquid - it sounds like you are already on MK5 rogers firmware (which is 4.3) but that somehow things are a bit scrambled. I see a couple options (and DS feel free to chime in here):

1 - reflash the Rogers MK5 stock Odin package (I'm not sure how the phone will react to a reload of the MK5 bootloader - having another Odin package to flash - i.e. a custom recovery - to clear a possible error - is recommended)

2 - revert to Rogers MA3 firmware (I've put together a version of this that does not contain the bootloader - sboot.bin - or trustzone - tz.img - files).

In either case, a complete /system wipe/format should be done first and maybe a data wipe and factory reset (latter may not be needed since it's all still Jellybean for the most part).

This will ensure a clean system partition, if your goal is a clean system that you can then simply run the OTA process to get to the 4.4 update when it arrives, presumably in a month or two.

If all this sounds good, I'd recommend trying option #1 with option #2 as a fallback. Lemme know and I'll follow up later today with links to the files you will need for option 2. (You can get the stock 4.3 Rogers file for Option #1 from sammobile.com after registering - free - and going to their firmware section).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
Such modesty.. Then I'll just keep you on the pedestal in my mind.

Concur with option #1. Cleanest to prep for KitKat.

Concur with unknown of how bootloader will react.

Liquid.....

As with most of the innovation and creativity with XDA it's accomplished by putting on the big girls panties and going for it.

I've done some crazy sh*t to my phone and it's still rocking. Zen's been the doctor and I've been the patient.

I don't see why Samsung Kies may not be a solution either.

I can only be confident in how an ATT i317 phone will react to the things in my guide.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] liquidutopia:
I probably should have left well enough alone. I thought i would have figured all this crap out by now. I guess the drugs are screwing me worse than i thought. Anyways from what i can recall. After I rooted phone. I had issues deciding which rom was compatible with rogers I317m variant so I panicked. I ended up flashing stock 4.3 rom back and then thats when things went screwy. I also unrooted after that hoping things would go back to the way they were but nooooo. then i rooted again and if i mind right I tried flashing 4.3 again but it made no difference. Then I did system wipe and started over, reinstalled everything but still no difference. you guys are right though. I think what I should have done from start is wiped it and then flashed it. I guess what I need now is proper procedure to follow and what and how to do it. Like ...Whats best way to wipe and get where I need to be in order to flash the 4.3? I am going to see if I can unlock my exdcard atm. I have been trying all kinds of ways to get it unlocked. Also have been having issues getting into twrp or teamwin. Thats how I did a wipe before but for some reason booting into it has been an issue. Anyways if you need more info let me know. I cannot thank you guys enough. If you have time give me a step by step for option 1 and lets see what happens. So not looking forward to installing all this stuff again =P.

Sorry man that last really long post was what I had originally done. I haven't touched anything yet. I wanted to get some things fixed in case I wasn't able to get back to stock.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
That should work.

Remember to look for the sboot.bin file in the 4.3 file that you will be using to ODIN.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] liquidutopia:
I know you have mentioned the sboot file before but maybe I am not asking the right question. How do I know or find if the sboot file is there. I was reading forum questions and from what I can make of it does it show up when you pop the md5 in Odin? But in doing this does your phone need to be connected to find it? Also I never mentioned ever that my phone is rooted but it ISN'T unlocked. Just have no idea whether this makes any difference or not. Honestly way back when, when I did root my phone I am pretty sure I had flashed the stock rom (which source it was from I have no idea now) more than once. I am sure I did this trying to get back to normal. In doing so maybe this caused snote to fudge up. I will wait until I am 100 percent sure this will work. I will check forums to find some answers and hopefully you will understand what I am meaning ie. sboot file.
