I am using smartskey with my TyTn for the shortcuts using the dpad in the phone application. However, after installing pocket informant, when I press right on dpad for contact shortcut I get nothing. Call history, speed dial, and messaging shortcuts work fine. Can I make a registry edit to get the pocket informant contact application to show when pressing the dpad right shortcut and if not that, how can I get the orginal to show.. thanks.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] XDKYX:
So, I'm new to this and have a Note 2 (SPH L900) from Sprint. I am trying to learn the terminology but I'm a quick study through interactive conversations in a forum board like this. I put cyanogenmod using clockwork on my rooted phone and I've noticed that the GPS fails to get a lock, the camera goes in and out of focus while recording video and the call volume is very low when I'm making a phone call.

For the GPS thing someone said to flash a stock TouchWiz and then re-flash cyanogenmod back on it and that seems to have fixed it. In my searches on how to do this or where to even get a TouchWiz I lost that original thread. Can someone help me understand how to get the original TouchWiz?

As far as the camera thing, I'm not sure if there's a different camera app that would suffice?

And the call volume I remember reading somewhere that there's a file that you can edit to change the call volume.

I've been all over trying to get this device working with cyanogenmod and getting lost in the interwebs and the terminology that I'm not used to. I've been recently starting to wonder if I should just go back to the original out of the box installation but I don't know how to do that either!?! LOL!

Thanks in advance for any and all help!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sothus:
For the GPS issue, Flash the rom found here http://xdaforums.com/note-2-sprint/development/classic-stock-ne2-4-4-2-deodexed-t2818246 , You don't even have to set up all the accounts just go in open up MAPS get the GPS lock then Flash back to your Cyanogenmod Rom and your GPS should work.

Now for the call volume I know alot of Roms are having issues with this. When you get or make a call what i do is after the call is started I turn my volume down as far as it will go and then turn it back up and the call volume is fine. If there is a fix for this I haven't ran across it yet.

Your camera Issue i haven't ran across that myself. But i'll browse these forums and see what i can come up with.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tx_dbs_tx:
There are several CM based ROMS to choose from. If you prefer CM over TW (Samsung's interface overlay) then you should visit the development forums and choose a ROM that you feel is right for you. Personally I like Slim ROM and Carbon ROMs. The volume bug effects CM ROMS but there are a few ROMS that volume has been "pre-tweaked". Otherwise during a call turn volume down then back up and it should be much louder.

CM cameras tend to be slightly subpar to the stock TW camera as far as picture quality, lag, and focusing, etc, but for the most part all CM cameras do work ok. I personally prefer the stock TW based camera but that's not an option if using a CM based ROM.

There's no other way around the GPS bug other than what has been mentioned. Simply flash a stock type ROM that is based off the Samsung Touch Wiz ui overlay and do as Sothus said. Get a solid GPS lock using google maps. I highly recommend doing the same thing for LTE at the same time. Get in LTE coverage and make sure your phone is connected to LTE data service then get the GPS lock with Google Maps. Then immediately reboot into recovery, wipe system, data, cache, dalvic cache, flash MK4 or NE2 modem, then flash the ROM.

Also make sure you are using a current version of Clockwork recovery or better yet use Phil's version of Clockwork recovery. You can find it in the regular development forum not original development forum. Good luck.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] XDKYX:
Thanks!

Is there a screen on my phone that I go into to "Get in LTE coverage"?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lovekeiiy:
no. You have to be in a geological location where Sprint provides 4G LTE. You'll need to go to Sprint.com and see what areas are suppose to have it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] XDKYX:
And then just by turning on my phone in one of those locations is all I would need to do? Or should I make a phone call?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] XDKYX:
So I did this and it works great, the volume trick works and the GPS lock worked. thank you both so much!

On a side question is there anywhere that I can download the stock "L900VPUCNE2" ROM to flash with Clockwork in case I want to go back? I found a topic on this site that talks about when the upgrade was released but I Google and can't find a solid ROM that I can use to flash back. Thanks in advance!!!

Stock ROM?

so, this link that lennykravitz2004 just posted is the stock ROM that my phone would currently have or had before I put cyanogenmod on it, right? I just want to make sure before I start messing with it that this is in fact the same as what I had. I accidentally deleted the backup that I had through clockworkmod (not that the backup worked anyway) and want to try and make a solid stock backup. Thanks in advance!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Yes that is pure stock ROM. Note that when you use Odin to flash this you will have stock ROM, kernel, and recovery also it will not be rooted.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] pegnose:
Hi guys, I updated my P880 to V20B and now have problems with using the external SD properly. I found it being mountend to storage/external_SD and I can read/write there. BUT: I can't set a folder on it as the backup location in Super Backup (as I could before), my LG notes aren't backed up automatically to the external SD location (as it was before), and I expect many similar problems to arise with time.

Formerly, the external SD was mounted to mnt/sdcard/external_sd, if I remember correctly. Now this symbolic link (?) is missing. When I performed the update and then first booted the updated device, I had the external SD removed to make sure my backups were safe. Might that be the reason for the missing link? My questions are:

1. Should I flash the kdz again with the SD card inserted? Or at least perform a factory reset?

2. Or could the link be created afterwards, preferrably without rooting my device? Would that solve the problem, at all?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] pegnose:
Nothing?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] dimi89:
How about formatting SD card ? Did you tryed that ? On 20a my card is read as storage/external_SD just fine.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] pegnose:
Hey dimi, thanks for the suggestion! However, I am afraid you didn't read my post very carefully. I wrote that I actually CAN read/write to my external SD. But I cannot set the path in applications like Super Backup (when I navigate to some folder on storage/external_SD, the button "Select this folder" is inactive). And I suspected it is because it is no subpath of mnt/sdcard anymore. Also, some apps like LG notes don't write/backup to the external SD by default any more, and some of them unfortunately are not configurable.

That's the reason why I thought creating a simbolic link for mnt/sdcard/external_sd (as it was before) might solve the problem. However, I am absolutely not sure of this (plus: how to achive it) and would be happy about an expert's opinion. :)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] dimi89:
In super backup i couldnt set path since first day i downloaded it and today i tryed again with new version of app and it is the same.SMS backup is working fine so i suppoust it is problem with app (maybe in pro version it will work).
[LG Optimus 4X HD] pegnose:
I can set path anywhere on storage/sdcard, but not on storage/external_SD. Also the Notes application doesn't back up to external SD, as it did before. Coincidence? Maybe. I will find out with time using other applications.

Am I right that creating symbolic links without root access is not possible?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] dimi89:
Idk about creating links but it is not coincidence that you and me cant select any folder on external_SD i guess it is app bug or maybe as i sad premium version requirement.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] pegnose:
It worked on 4.0.3.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] pegnose:
Hi again, I made some progress here! :)

I managed to create a symbolic link to my external SD (I am on a rooted CM10.1.3 now), but that didn't help. I could use it within the ES file explorer for navigation, but not within Super Backup (didn't see it). So I tried to MOUNT the external SD instead. Here is the command I finally used:

mount -t vfat -o rw,umask=000 /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /data/media/0/extSD

No errors, I can access my SD via this mount point with ES file explorer, and I can navigate into this top folder now with Super Backup and select it as backup location. BUT I can't actually back up here, as Super Backup can't write, I guess ("backup failed").

I was hoping that this "umask" parameter would do the trick, but unfortunately not. Interestingly: when I navigate with Super Backup to this new backup location, all the subfolders of my external SD card appear as files, not folders.

I am pretty sure, it is nearly done and only has to do with setting the right permissions.

Does anyone have an idea what I could try now?

EDIT: I just unmounted, applied "chmod 777 /data/media/0/extSD" and remounted again (this time with "rwx" parameter). No changes.

You'll need a photoshop type program and shrin your icons down then save them as TGA files. Theres instructions on sbsh.nets forums for creating your own icons as well.

I've posted about this here and there - I use claunch as my launcher, but the photoshopping is the same either way.

Find a nice portrait photo, use the crop tool and crop in as close as you can around the face/boobs etc, and make it squarish.

Crop that.

Then resize your nice square crop to 32x32 pixels. That's very small, so there'll be hardly any detail, but it should do the job.

If am I right, my problem match at "Brick" tablet.

These are my problems:

* If I make an hard reset, comes to cleaning the cache and it restart itself

* If I turn it on, the screen remains locked at "Acer"

* If I try to the update, after a few seconds, you will see the image of the robot fell to the ground with a triangle and exclamation point

* Regarding the bootloader, remained stuck at the first string on the tablet, it stays there and after 5min, reboot.

* If someone asks me the CPUID, the talet, has never been installed on my PC (I installed the drivers of the Acer package, if it helps), as I formatted the PC and then the tablet was not more plugged to the PC ...

I have already downloaded (but I don't know how to use them): Acer A500 Tools Pack v1.0 :

Hi Everyone,

I have been using Atrix 2 for past 2 years and never ever got such battery backup in last two years, so I thought of starting this thread so that others can get better battery life.

I have tried lots of tricks, apps, tweaks for better battery life but the following settings helped me to get more than 30 hours of backup on daily basis.

As I am writing this thread, my phone is on battery since 1 day 14 hours with 4 hours 6 mins screen on time, voice calls 1 hour 49 mins, wifi on 8 hours:laugh:!!!

I have noticed that Google Play services and Play store are the culprits behind the wakelocks that cause battery drain even when your phone is idle! So I decided to freeze them as per my convenience I unfreeze them and its been so easy thanks to Titanium Backups widget.

Just follow the below mentioned steps:

1.You must have a rooted phone.

2.Install Titanium Backup and Greenify (Greenify is used for hibernating the apps which stops them from running in background. Greenify the apps as per your need))

3. Convert Google play services to user app using TB.

4.Place a TB widget (Action widget) and select the action "Freeze/Defrost/Launch an app", select Google play services and you are done. Repeat the same process for Play store.(Note that you will not get any Gmail/FB notifications while freezed).

Now you can use the Google play services/ play store when needed, you have to just tap on the widget to freeze/unfreeze, and take my word you will be more than happy with battery backup you will get after doing these small tricks.

Enjoy!!!

[Motorola Atrix 2] timjosten:
I don't use gapps at all, I have noticed it is draining battery a very long time ago. Actually, any background app which uses the internet connection is a source of a trouble. WhatsApp is also eating battery like a hog. Ideally, there should be no background apps at all, except the system ones.

I use Greenify to freeze WhatsApp. So new messages are coming only when I open WhatsApp, like emails. This gives me extra 2-3 hours of battery time.
