[Q] just picked up this bad boy need some basic info - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

hey guys can someone give me a rundown of the basics for this phone what is the key combo to get into recovery? Also what to type into the dialer to access the hidden menu? How to do a hard reboot like a battery pull. I did try to hold the power button for a while like the sgs2 but it didnt work. Also what are the basics of the s-pen.
I gotta say this phone is a monster. I cant wait to really get down and see what it can do. I am about to check out the dev section to see if there is some AOKP or cm. And thanks in advance for any responses that I get.

I rooted mine using the Toolkit @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957720
To boot into recovery hold down the home + power + up volume buttons.
Have fun exploring.

[Q] Refurbished w/ ICS dilemma help needed.

My girlfriend just bought a refurbished A100. It arrived with ICS 2 days before the OTA was due. At first I was like GREAT! but upon further investigation I found it had the camera and speaker bugs reported in earlier leaked versions. So I looked at the build number and sure enough its an old build (.002).
Now my dilemma is do I wait for the OTA in a couple of days or do I use the stock ICS (.014) downloaded in the Dev section.
Now my girlfriend has watched me live through the agony and ecstasy of flashing roms and kernels on my Galaxy Tab and Revolution and does not want me to root her Acer.
I have searched the A100 forums and it appears you can flash this w/out root through stock recovery. Please correct me if I am wrong.
I can't seem to find very clear cut directions but here is what I think I need to do someone please tell me if I understand correctly.
1.rename downloaded zip to update.zip
2. put on root of external sd card (anywhere in particular)
3. turn tab off
4. turn tab back on by holding power and volume down
5. let go of power button and continue to hold volume down
6. let go of volume down when Android w/ gears icon appears
7. let it do it's thing
8.profit!
I'm a noob to Acer but not Android in general. Please any advice would be appreciated as I REALLY don't want to F-Up my Girlfriends new baby.
I know you feel buddy, my girlfriend inherited my old HTC Desire, which she loves but, doesn't love it when I say "I have a new ROM for you!" She loves having ICS though so go figure!
Yeah you've got it all right, it might take a few times to get into the stock recovery, it drove me mad ha ha, no harm done though just a bit fiddly to get the button combo every time.
the .014 release is the ICS to flash as it has full touch support with games.

Thank you for your quick reply toyface. Just another quick couple of questions.
Does the screen lock button need to be in any particular position when doing the stock recovery flash?
Is there any particular folder or place on the sdcard that I have to put the update.zip?
If I decide to wait on the OTA, will it go right over the old ICS build or will having the old ICS interfere with that?
Thanks again.
The stock rom in the development section is the same as the ota update, so your tab won't find a new update as it will already be installed. As for flashing, your steps are correct, but make sure you hold the volume button closest to the power button and you should be good. Hope this helps!

Is CWM touch fully functional now?

When it was released it was not, I looked around but couldn't find anything recent pertaining to CWM touch specifically on the Galaxy Nexus. Can anyone confirm that it is fully functional? Thanks in advance!
Yup fully functional.

Thank you sir! Already reached my limit of 8 but I will be back to properly thank you.
No problem. Just flash the .img with fastboot. Otherwise the touch version from ROM manager is 2$ or so.

As soon as I got your confirmation I purchased it through ROM Manager, I like to support the devs when I have the funds available. I instantly like it, I dont have the best eyes so the larger text really helps me out. Thanks again, I won't forget to come back and thank you proper. :good:
Edit: Wow its so much faster than using the buttons!

The thing i hated with the regular CWM is there is like kinetic scrolling so it's really hard to select the one I wanted but with CWM Touch that isn't an issue

I agree, for me it would frequently skip up/down more than one notch. The other problem was the "back menu button disabled" causing the power button to turn the screen off/on instead of selecting the option. I finally learned you have to scroll past the first menu option 3x to enable it again.
Dont have those problems anymore! Definitely worth the $2.
Yeah, works brilliantly for me!
TWRP 2.2 is touch and is better. And they don't try to charge you.
It's very functional.
Thanks to Über, I've got to try it out for free and learn Something.

It's the little things, like being able to see battery and time in recovery. Plus, it now has a keyboard so you can name nandroids in recovery or rename files since it's also got a file manager. It supports backing up partition sizes greater than 2GB which CWM doesn't. You can compress backups to save space. You can queue multiple zips to flash in sequence. If you use Tasker you can make automated, scheduled nandroids. I find it easier to navigate, like it was actually a recovery made to be touch and not just a recovery that had touch added. Swiping to flash gives me confidence I'm not gonna do anything stupid accidentily. Also, while in recovery pressing the power button will lock it so you have to swipe to unlock for those times when you're in recovery but need to put your phone in your pocket. Probably other things I'm missing.

How To Remap Search Key To Launch Camera

******NOOB WARNING*****'
I've been searching for a few days and haven't come up with anything. I'm trying to remap my search key to have it launch my camera instead. I just rarely use it and very much miss my dedicate camera hard key. I've tried the button remapper on one of these threads to no avail there seems to be one dedicate to Galaxy S phones but when I launched that one it said I wasn't using a supported device ( I've got a Samsung Galaxy S2 SGH-T989), and when I downloaded the other button remapper it launched just fine but when I changed the command for the search key to camera it did nothing. Next I went into my root explorer and copied all .kl files with the 217 search key that I was lead to believe was the one I needed to edit and put them on my external sd and then preceded to modify the originals from "SEARCH" to "CAMERA." But that attempt failed as well. All that did was disable my search key all together. Not sure if I was on the right track here and just missed something or if that's just a completely idiotic attempt. Either way I've just Typically failed at my noobish attempt at Remapping my search key. If anyone can help this sad and disgraced noob please let me know.
Thanks!
P.S. My phone is rooted and I'm just running plain ole ICS 4.0.3 and I'm gonna post a screens of "about phone" section incase that helps at all. Sorry if I sound like an idiot but I'm very new to all this. Just rooted my first phone a few weeks ago. So if you could keep that in mind when you reply it would be much appreciated. Thanks again

Ok, well let me start out by saying I'm a moron. Below I posted and the whole recovery thing went way over my head. Lets just say the scapegoat there was not enough sleep and being way over worked. But anyway after writing that I realized how stupid I was. So I immediately pulled my head but of my but and went into recovery mode and installed your zip from there, reported, and still nothing for my search key. Is it because I screwed the pooh on my first attempt? Read the dribble I posted first and please lemme know:
First off, thank you very much for taking the time to reply and do all this for me. After reading your post I went out and got clockwork Rom manager which also lead me to download clockwork recovery. I then preceded to click on the zip file you provided and when it completed downloading I opened it. I took a snapshot of the screen that popped up. I clicked yes leaving the box checked that the program had checked for me (just as it is in the screen shot). Afterthat the phone preceded to do it's thing and a few minutes later the phone rebooted and now if I hit the search key it vibrates but doesn't actually do anything. Did I do something wrong along the way? Again, I really do appreciate you taking the time out for me and I'll be awaiting your response. Thanks!"
Stupid, I know. But I'll assume that that's probably the problem. If I can find some time tomorrow I'll try revolving the copy of the Rom I made before I killed my search key and then do it properly, and hopefully that'll be that and I'll FINALLY have my search key camera. Thanks again!

Beautiful. Just did what you said and works perfectly. Might have even been working before I just didn't hold the button when I was doing it yesterday. Thank you so much. Was kinda sceptical when I posted that I would just get a bunch of condescending remarks, but very happy to see this site isn't like some others I've been too. Anyway though, thanks a million. This is gonna be awesome for my twins. I keep missing good photos cuz it takes that extra few seconds to find my camera. Now I'll be able to get to it in a flash. Thanks again. You're awesome.

Hello again. I just download my first new ROM, Jedi mind trick, and I obviously lost my search button camera. Since I'm not running the stock ROM will the zip file you sent me previously still work to replace my search key with launching the camera? Thanks in advance!
The keymap files are at /system/usr/keylayout/
Different ROMs probably have different files, but I guess you can find the file(s) you need to change from "SEARCH" to "CAMERA"
Keep in mind, do a backup before change anything.

Right, always sure to do that. I made a backup of all the files I edited last time. Edited all the keylayout files last time though and didn't do anything. Maybe I missed one though. I'll give it a try and edit it when I'm do though. Thanks for the info!
---EDIT---Totally worked. Actually I think I had it set the first time I did this on my stock ICS Cruz when I pressed the search key once in camera it took a pic but the problem I was having all along was I just wasn't holding it down. Typical noob right? Oh well, learned my lesson. Try absolutely EVERYTHING before posting and sounding like a moron, lol. Anhway, elessb, would it be possible for you to instruct me on how to get to my camera on my lock screen like you have it. That would just be beyond amazing.

I've got Jedi Mind Trick running right now. Its blazing fast but its kinda buggy. Was in love with it at first, but the longer I have it, the more it's annoying me. Programs seem to freeze up quite often and stall out the phone for 30 seconds or so, and it seems to be doing it at least 3/4 times a day. I've heard good things about the cm ROMs. I know its kinda off topic, well maybe not all that much since I'm interested in the camera shortcut, but is there a specific ROM you'd reccomend concerning the camera shortcut, and of course with overall functionality in mind as well.
Thanks!

Try sourcery control panel.there you can find power option for screen shot, so after holding power button, you will see screen shot menu.
I guess you will notice your resolution, but anyway you can find settings for tablet mode under sourcery control panel too.
I am not using this Rom currently, but you can get more information within their forum here.Try search for sourcery

after a day or two of running the ROM I am much more comfortable with it. I figured out how to change tabletUI and do a screenshot. Pretty cool ROM and I feel like it has just enough setting to make it your own but not to many where a person gets confused.
thanks again for the reply.

*QUICK EASY!* Phantom Key Press Fix using Revolt JB ROM 10.2 4.3.1 settings!

This is my first time I am ever posting and I am extremely anxious and shy about doing this or if I even make myself understandable and as helpful as I can..... Please if there is something that doesn't make sense please let me know so I can try to be a little more clear....
Now........To Begin
:victory:
I had a previous Sprint Samsung Galaxy S2 SPH-D710 that did not have this problem at all but I traded it for a black one because I did not like having a white phone and that's where my problems began....I had known the phone had a pressing button problem but I did not know what it was at the time or what it was called. But I was sure there was a way to fix it somehow. As soon as I had the phobe in my hands I saw how horrible it was.....It did not let me do anything not even for 30 seconds without the menu, back buttons, and I was upset because since I had to reinstall a new ROM on this phone (which I don't mind that's the fun part) but the keys kept going off every couple of seconds so I decided to look into finding a way to fix it and I did kinda. And I will post the link to the first one too because it can be useful and work for someone else and if it wasn't fir that post I wouldn't have thought of my fix.
Anyway here is the link to the first one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=
I followed these steps and basically what it is, is a method where you disable your hardkey that is causing you problems and switching it to the search button since most of us really don't use the search key anyway. But I won't go much into detail the post above goes more in depth. In the beginning it actually worked but then I noticed that the back key started pressing itself and then the menu still presses itself and even now and the search button which was converted to the new menu so I got upset and exasparated because to even do this method took me literally 2 hours because the damn keys wouldn't stop pressing themselves. And then I thought of another method which to me proved easier than that and does work. I simply used the same method but when I got to the General.kl instead of disabling one key I disabled all 4 and bang problem solved! But BEFORE that you need to make sure you have already installed an app where you can get your hardkeys on your screen and set it up to where you kniw your keys all work * OH AND YOU NEED TO BE ROOTED FOR THE SETTINGS FOR MENU AND BACK WORK! *. And I found a really good and free app in the market that is easy to use and wont get in the way of your screen while typing and customizable. It is called "Floating Toucher" and once installed and set up and disabled keys in General.kl and rebooted phone everything was working fine!!!! AND IT WORKED JUST FINE YOU JUST HAVE TO GET USED TO NOT TOUCHING KEYS ANYMORE AS THEY DON'T WORK BUT ITS TRUSTHWORTHY!....
Anyway I when all this happened I had GB27 4.1.2 and I wanted an upgrade so I flashed to Revolt JB ROM 4.3.1 (will post link to this ROM if you are interested in this method) and after that because the phone reset itself the hardkeys were enabled again. So because I it was a new ROM for me I looked in depth at their settings and there is where I found my solution!
1. Go to your settings and you go to Revolt Control.
2. When you are there you will see they have extra settings for the phone.
3. Scroll down to: Pie Controls
4. Click on the first setting that says: Pie Controls/ Allows navagation and status report and enable it.
5. Customize the settings how you want then to be to your liking!
6. Go back to previous menu.
7. Scroll down to: Soft Keys Options
8. Click on: Enable Soft Keys Options
9. You will notice all four of your hard keys are there including the setting when you long press them. Simply click on each one and press blank on all of them.
10. Then you go to previous screen and reboot and there! Easier than having to install over apps or disable keys! Its in the settings already and I am extemely happy now! No more Phantom Ghost Key!!!

Still the wrong device forum... You have an Epic 4G Touch (SPH-D710). This forum is for Epic 4G (SPH-D700), a totally different device with a slide-out keyboard. There's a separate forum for your device.
Sorry if all these sound rude, I simply wanna guide you to the right place

OHHHHHHH I SEE I'VE ALWAYS GOTTEN CONFUSED ABOUT THE DIFFEEENT S2 MODELS AND WHAT NOW!!! Honestly it was much harder when I first trying to even learn about root and try..... Before this phone was a BOOST Samsung Galaxy S2 SPH-D710BST and proper files to flash was extremely hard to find. But I flashed it to Sprint and it was slightly easier then. But yea I do continue to get confused with these names especially cuz those 2 sound so similar. ...darnit !
Well I looked for their forum and its under maintenance so I have to wait....
Sorry for the mistake!
And no you're not being rude in the least thank you sooooo much !!!!
