Develop Bugs

Is this phone dead in the water?

Hey guys, I just got an S3 3 days ago, just got paid again and was wondering if I should go ahead and spring for the note 2 but everyone keeps telling me since the note 2 has exynos, it will be hard to develop for or something? I've had an iPhone for 5 years so I'm a clinical retard when it comes to android stuff. It almost seems like the people saying that are kind of jealous that they don't or can't get the note 2. I was just wondering if you can easily root the note 2 and flash CM10, because I hate bloatware and love CM10 sounds. If CM10 isn't available is it possible to de bloat it at all?

De bloating is no problem. CM10 will lose the S-pen functionality on this monster.

Thanks for the reply brother. Another quick question, I used a very easy toolkit to root my S3, I don't remember who made but it was in green text and in console. Is there anything like that available for the note 2, it was amazingly simple to use and easily un rooted my S3, I've been on Android for all of 4 days so excuse my nubishness. Lol

Right now it is a little more difficult to root than a 1 click method...but in time I bet the developers will make it happen..
MY honest opinion...get the Note II...

Yeah I'm gonna go ahead and spring for the note 2, couple more questions and once again my apologies for being so noobish, is there a way to de bloat and get the quick reply texting, like CM10, without rooting?
*EDIT* Also is there way to get the CM10 sounds? I love the ringtones and sms notifications.

No.
I got tones on zedge

Yes you could. Get someone with cm10 to extract them for you. I can do this later when I get home if you cant find them

That would be awesome bro, I also heard you can disable bloatware from the native note 2 file manager. Guess there's no need to root....yet.

I rooted within 5 minutes of getting the phone, but I would imagine that this only applies if you're rooted. AT&T doesn't want you taking its bloat/spy/malware off, so I really doubt they'd let an unrooted user go through and delete the apps.

I'm waiting for the Multi-view update before rooting. Save myself from having to unroot. And as for bloatware, you can just "disable" it - without rooting.
And as for it being "dead in the water".... what you talking about? News to me...

As far as rooting goes... There is a method on here that literally takes about 3 mins from beginning to end.. very easy. Once rooted, just download and install Cleanrom Lite 1.0...this rom is debloated and extremely fast/smooth. There are plenty of sms apps that provide quick reply... gosms/chompsms/handcent are just a few. This is one awesome phone and I wouldn't worry too much about development, or lack thereof.

No need to root to de-bloat. I'm on the stock ROM, haven't seen a need to root yet.
1. Go to: "Settings | Application Manager" and swipe over to the "All" tab.
2. Find what you want gone (i.e. all of the AT&T apps) and tap it.
3. Clear data, Clear cache. Some apps might also require you to "uninstall updates".
4. Force stop.
5. Disable.
You're done. If you later want to re-enable something, scroll down to the bottom of the "All" list ... it has everything you've disabled listed there. I've disabled about 32 things that came preloaded, including almost all the Samsung cloud stuff, GMail, all the Google Sync services, all the Google additional services (apps like Google+ and Google Play Magazines/Movies & TV/Music, not Android system services), with no issues whatsoever.

Is there an SMS app with Quick Reply that preserves the look of the stock Jelly Bean SMS app? I really like the way it looks already loaded on the Note 2 so I don't want to take away its aesthetics.

yes go to setting-application manager slide to the right until u see all apps then scroll down to any app u want to debloat select then disable. Boom the app will disappear. Remember this method only disable the app if u want to delete them then need root. Learn about Odin stuff that easy for new noobs. Good luck

Best things to do when rooted

I took a quick peek and didn't notice any tip list focusing on just rooting tips on this forum for this phone, feel free to add to this list! I know this is super noobish, but what the hell, hopefully this helps someone.
1. Removing annoying sounds (camera/startup/shutdown). Delete startup audio/camera audio sounds. I absolutely hate the dreadful sounds that come out of the S2, you can delete the ogg files if you are rooted by navigating to the parent directory ->system->media->audio->ui (delete ogg files as you wish). to delete the startup sound system->etc
2. Mobile Odin. Mobile Odin makes it super easy to flash a safe recovery kernal like el29. Another big plus, is using mobile odin doesn't trigger yellow triangle. Chainfire was nice enough to share mobile odin (that flashes kernal to xda users here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899). To put it simply, a safe kernal allows you to flash a zip/rom. Keep in mind getting mobile odin pro may allow you to flash roms directly, but I believe modems need to be flashed seperately.
3. Button Savior. If you have phantom key presses and it's driving you insane (like me in the past). Try this program out, I believe it's on the market. It adds software button functionality, having root access ensures that it has access to all buttons, not having root will cause some of the software buttons not to work. Highly recommend the paid version if you are stuck with a phone with phantom key presses. Keep in mind that the new JB roms and CM builds coming out have an option for on screen buttons.
4. pimp my rom. A wonderful app that has tons of customizations for the phone and tweaking for maximum performance. If you're interested check the forum page on it. -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1908269 . In addition, Exit_Only's tweaks are built specifically for our phone while pimp my rom is a more universal type of tweak. Exit_Only tweaks are here: -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975379
5. Titanium Backup. Does so much ranging from uninstalling or "freezing" useless apps that come with the phone (think sprint FM radio or sprint ID). It also does what it says in it's name... backup stuff.

Both! I used to date a girl that was in the Marines and she was a FAHREEEEEEEAAAKKK in the bed. She was in OC school and was hardcore straight up by the book when in uniform, once that uniform came off she was a totally different chick. She was like pr0n* freaky. I ended up dumping her cuz she was a damn control freak. I was like "hey im not one of your enlisted jarheads don't order me around like I'm some kinda slave, [email protected]" lol. That's the thing about people they arent always what they appear to be.

Are any of them specifically Paranoid Android / CM10 unfriendly? I know for sure Titanium & SuperSU are all fine. I had problems with Adfree on PA, so I started using AdAway instead.
Edit: Just installed Seeder, and I can't recommend it enough, my phone is like twice as snappy, there's now zero lag.

Btw, instead of deleting files you could add a .bak file extension to whatever you don't want and reboot. This way if you want it back later on you just need to remove the .bak extension and reboot which is a lot better than flashing the full ROM again.

[Q] System Update

I just downloaded the jellybomb rom to try it out and to stop receiving the annoying system update prompt notification. Why am I still seeing a system update prpmpt on an aosp rom? .

Are you getting the notifications from samsung/sprint or from goo manager. I get updates from goo manager sometimes when new ROMS are released by the devs that support it. I have yet to ever get one from samsung/sprint mostly due to not running stock ROM's.

Samsung! Well sprint but you get it. I uninstalled jellybomb..too much bluuue. But isn't that weird? They watch us...

Unrooted MB1

Hey gang, I am wondering if there is a way to get the MB1 update without rooting. I keep trying to get it by manually pinging update firmware. But it is a no go. I have to stay Unrooted for a period of time but want the most recent firmware and after unrooting all I seem to be able to get to is LJ7. Thanks in advance!

Take it to sprint first thing they do before servicing is make sure it's updated with the latest. Just say your having trouble getting a signal.

If your trying to get the stock update you can go to app manager and go into all and find google services frame work . click on it and clear data and force stop then go try the update samsung software. May have to try it a few times but it worked for me.

[Q] Best PRLs

Has anyone tried a different PRL and seen better results?
If so, which one and what area are you located in?
Also, is it okay to update prl and profile while being rooted on the stock rom or any custom ROM?
Edit: If you are rooted and device status as custom but still cannot update prl check to see if you have Samsung DM service frozen in titanium. If you do then unfreeze it, reboot, and you should be able to update it.
