Of course. ..but there are risks and consequences if you do. ..

First is root...and while rooting 4.4.2 is simple. ..it "will" trip your Knox counter and render your device warranty null and void...

If you don't mind losing warranty. ..then you have many custom rom options available to you. ..

But before any flashing starts...you need to familiarize yourself with the terminology of flashing firmware images. ..and understand what to do if you get into trouble. ..

The development section for our note 2 device has several threads you should read. ..

Start with the CF AUTO ROOT thread from "chainfire"...As this thread is the preferred method of rooting this device. ..

Once you have learned the basics...and understand how the process works. ..you will have gained control over your device and will be empowered to dig deeper into the device and make it your own. ..

But again. ..I can't emphasize enough. . The importance of "reading for comprehension"...

These devices are complex machines that need the right software running in all of the right places or havoc will soon follow. ..

Give me a few minutes and I'll post up some links to get your reading started. ..g

[General Questions and Answers] Sandgoose:
I have searched lots on the subject of getting a full linux distro running on an android device most of which were really not really what I am looking for, almost everything I find on the subject seems to be some kind of hybrid solution where running linux side by side or on top of android but imo that just seems messy and may as well just be using andorid with it's apps than do that.

I ran into interesting information about modding chromebooks some of when were the similar side-by-side solution but others actually more what I was looking for, they enable legacy seabios while not enough to get windows installed seems to work fine to boot into linux and another guy had baked his own custom seabios replacing the chrome bios entirely.

my question, the atom tablets Im seeing pop up a few places are standard x86 right ? is it possible to either

1/run a modded sea bios similar to chromebook mods? then boot a stock ubuntu distro installation maybe from external storage?

2/or somehow have the existing/modded bootloader boot linux kernel/ubuntu install ?

can't help think if it were that simple maybe someone would have done it already but also thinking the hardware (drivers) are supported by android so they should be supported by linux right ? and if it is standard x86 can't be too much a stretch right ?

I don't own an atom tablet but was thinking it may be desirable (and add more use) if I could get a full linux distro installed and be a lot more affordable than full fledged windows based tablet.

anyway thanks

ps:that captcha is harcore
[General Questions and Answers] Vertical Spin:
They are kinda standard. But they are not following PC architecture. They are so called Intel MID (Mobile Internet Device). On such devices you may find neither EFI nor ACPI. They have so called SFI which is a complete disaster. But Intel Merrifield is more or less supported by upstream kernel and Yocto (thanks to Intel Edison platform). You may try to gather information about those devices (official name of SoC is Intel Atom Z34xx).
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Shift4g:
I've finally reached a point where my gallery issues are driving me nuts. Google makes it seem like I'm the only person in the world with this issue to top it off. The issue I am experiencing is that pictures that I download from the internet go wherever they want in my gallery. For instance (its not every time, but too often), if I download a picture (that contains no exif data) from a website, instead of showing up in "all downloads", it goes into "camera shots" album. Then within camera shots, the actual pictures taken with the phone camera start way in the middle of the album, which is annoying if you have over 1000+ photos. There seems to be no way to order the pictures there by time/date that I have found.

Then comes the issue when I swipe over to timeline. Changing the order there makes no difference to the display of pictures. If I set it to month, the first picture might show Nov or it might show the current month of July. Change it to day, etc, same thing. A picture I've just taken or downloaded might be at the bottom of the timeline or in the middle despite the setting.

I don't want to believe that such things were overlooked during testing by HTC or either Tmo, but it seems like that. Could I indeed be alone in experiencing this, or is there something I am overlooking in the settings?

Okay - I had USB OTG working *before* the 4.4.4 update by enabling it via the QualcommSettings app and installing StickMount. I'm rooted and have an unlocked bootloader.

After upgrading to 4.4.4, I can't get my Meenova usb stick to mount. I've tried with & without StickMount. I re-enabled "USB Mass Storage" in QualcommSettings, but it doesn't seem to stay enabled.

StickMount says it mounts the device to /sdcard/usbStorage/sda, but when I navigate there with ES File Explorer, the folder is empty.

Has anyone gotten USB OTG to work with 4.4.4? If so, how? Any help or suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!!

Please please forgive me if I'm reposting. I have an s3 that's rooted up and running great so not a novice here. Although my brother finally gave me his T-Mobile note 2- 4.3 w/knox to play with. However his request was to root and unlock it. I've been through the threads over here and just need a link to the most successful method to achieve this. I've tried a couple of rooting methods already (cf auto and Mr Robinson) but can't get root to stick or get recovery. I guess can I factory reset his phone and flash a 412 rom over it and root and unlock that way?? And I believe his 4.3 update was ota. I would appreciate any help here thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] nickf123654:
I had some trouble getting root & recovery to stick on my stock 4.3 Note 2. I think the method that worked best for me was installing TWRP recovery using Odin. The official T-Mobile Note 2 TWRP thread is here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1966105

There is a download link towards the bottom of the 1st post that redirects to the TWRP homepage but here is the direct link to the TWRP page for the T-Mobile Note 2:

http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/123

The Odin Method is the last on in the list, download the TAR file & flash with Odin

Once you have recovery, you can flash the latest Chainfire (1.99) to root your ROM or just flash a custom ROM

This may help you to get root/recovery but beware, I have been randomly losing my root access even on custom rooted ROMs. I just created a new thread yesterday to hopefully track & resolve the issue but I have a feeling it is related to the 4.3 bootloader which currently can't be rolled back or fixed in the T-Mobile Note 2. My thread for losing root is in the link below, please check it out and see if you are experiencing the same issue:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Indodom67:
Hi

I have a Samsung S4 GT–I9505 LTE bought in New Zealand but through a Parallel Import business via Hong Kong.

While doing an update the phone died. Not knowing anything about phones and well within the 1 year warrantly I took it back to the shop. A while later the phone returned and worked.

Since then I have purchased a Samsung smart TV and the Screen mirroring and the I Link don’t work. Maybe other things don’t work also? My sister inlaw has an S3 and it all works so I know its not the TV.

Looking into it further in Odin download Mode I get the following:

Product Name:GT-I9505

Current Binary:Custom

System Staus:Custom

CSD-OEM_CONFIG_ISB:0x30

Write Protection Enable.

I have also performed a ROM CSC and have the following;

AP:I9505ZHUAME3

CP:I9505ZZHAME3

CSC:I9505ZHUAME3

I would like to get back to official and have the ability to get updates and to solve these problems.

I have a Kernel noted as 3.4.0-626292 unsure if this is correct.

Build Number:	JDQ39.I9505ZHUAME3

Android Version:	4.2.2

Not sure what the repair guys have done or what I had before, oh and the business where the phone was bought has gone broke.

Anyway you guys seem to know what you are doing so any any suggestions of the best plan of attack appreciated.

I know a 300-301k will work but I am wondering if anyone knows, for

certain

,if a 330-331K jig will work?

I've already hit up Adam Outler and he doesn't know the answer nor does a friend he contacted.... I have a 300K usb jig to get into download mode, which works on the OG Epic 4G slider, the S2, and S3 as well but I do not believe it should work on the S4, although I am sure it may on some instances but my question is...

Does anyone know and may be able to show where I could find out or how I'd figure out what the actual resistance is to get this phone into download mode? Someone has one on amazon and it's 330k, again I already have one that works for the others, I am considering making a 331K (the margin of error is 1k) usb jig but I want to know for sure if a 330-331k will work.

--Also my current jig which works on all the other phones, is 1/4 watt, should I make one with 1/2 watt? Would it make a difference with 1/2 instead of 1/4 watt?

Arrivederci!

-Jess
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
No, changing the wattage rating of the resistors won't make a difference, at least at the current level with a 5v USB supply. And with the typical 5% tolerance of a resistor, a "331K" resistor is anything from 314k to 347K. It's not likely that the phone is going to be that sensitive.

(for what it's worth, 5v over a 600K resistor (the series values) is 8.33 microamps, for a power dissipation of 4 microwatts or so.)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] saul1991:
I like the simplicity of cm 11 but the only thing keeping me away from it is a feature. Why doesn't cm have lock screen notifications like other roms?I have seen that the latest snapshot has heads up notifications. Those are cool but I like the loscreen notifications. I know I can use another rom, but other roms have a lot of other stuff that I don't need nor use. For example Like halo omni switch and other stuff.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
The best lock screen notification app I've come across is NiLS from the Store. Looks and behaves just like the built in ones you are talking about.

Some Roms just haven't yet included things like that because either they just don't want to or there not at that stage yet where they are comfortable releasing that feature

If you want to try a really sweet rom that does have them along with some other great features without being a total Kanger ROM I highly suggest the latest Vanir Commotio .

It's running flawless for me with Alucards latest kernel. Stable not one FC and battery and performance are awesome.
