[Q] Dark SMS Background Issue - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Bit of a long shot as I have asked at Android but no-one seems to know. When changing to one of the pre-installed wallpaper in the SMS app on the Note everything works fine. However, if I decide to choose my own pic it loads, but it's very dark. I had the Note 2 before and recently returned and before I could get my own pics showing normally. Anyone got any ideas on this one? Thanks.

If you have rooted device then try xBackground xposed module(get from theme and app section.)

Hi
Do you know what permissions I need to set?
Cheers

Since it is intended to work as a framework dependent system-app the permissions have to be set to r/w/w - r - r

Major security hole in stock kernel

See thread here
A user has found that access to RAM is basically unrestricted in the stock kernel for exynos 4 devices, including our version of the Note 2.
At the thread there is a terminal technique to check if you are vulnerable.
Anyone on a custom kernel: If you could run the commands and post whether your kernel is safe or not that would be extremely helpful.
In the meantime, be extremely careful installing apps, as this bug requires no special permissions.
To those following that link, be aware that the section it is posted in has very different and much more restrictive rules.

Installed the apk toggle on my phone.
Works, but fix will break camera. Use toggle to turn off fix and camera works again, just remember to turn back on after taking picture.
Running Jedi 6.1.1 w/ asylumkernel

Also everytime you reboot you will have to re-apply fix.
This is an interesting find!

It has been reported this breaks the camera on certain devices(gs3 and I believe the note 10.1) but not the note 2.

Just a quick sanity check here. You said installed. Did you run the app and have it 'fix it'. I can install and not have any problems with my camera just breaks after I fix it.
Would also be useful if we post what rom and kernel used so we can compare what works and what doesn't.
Thanks.

An OTA fix has been released for UK SG3s. That suggests progress, so hopefully our N2s won't be far behind.
http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/03/samsung-exynos-security-update/
I haven't looked at the link but if its what I think it is u can use the app to root also if those haven't been rooted and also patch the exynos. The thread I've read it did break camera if u where on the latest update but not the one before . I hope Samsung n Att release a update that will fix this for our note 2 soon just careless on their part that there is even a security hole to begin with.

[Question] Flipboard Tablet Mode for 'Samsung Galaxy Note 2'

Hey!
Now Flipboard is available for Android Tablets, too, but only with screens 7" or higher.
I would like the tablet-mode on my note 2, but i cant change between.
Is there a tablet mod from flipboard for the note 2?
Just tried it in tablet mode with the xposed app settings mod in here and it works fine. You have to install the framework in the first post first

Thanks for the hint. I've tried it, but you need some coding experience to do it. Could you upload your Modules/Libraries or whatever other needed? I think you could make a lot of people happy with that!
I just installed the framework app then the any dpi app. You can select tablet mode for any app that supports it. I've got gmail flipboard the playstore and youtube all running in tablet mode. It really is as simple as installing to apks

apk install

Hi I have a funny problem on my note 2 and nexus 7 which only started today and effects both.if I download a apk to install it won't let me use the install button , nothing happens. I have made sure I have allowed the external sources. It had always worked before
Could it be because you're internal memory is full? Or you could also try wiping davlik cache.

If you are using screen filter or same application, then close it. I have read such application can cause this type of issue

Phone on LMT launcher

Does anybody know why the phone app on my LMT launcher does not work? I'm running wicked v5.1, stock deviant kernel. Is there a workaround? Thanks in advance... :beer::beer::beer:
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda premium
Were you asking how to get the lmt pie control to work included in wicked rom? You have to enter the settings and start lmt and then pick where you want it to open from. I hope I helped and if I read it wrong let me know of maybe I can try helping again.
No I'm sorry what I meant was I know how to use it, it's just when I add "phone" as one of the quick apps, it doesn't bring up the dialer?
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda premium
Hmm I see I just tried it and it didn't work for me either. I'm thinking of just installing the app itself (not using the wicked one) and see what happens.

Hello everyone! I am using LMT 2.0 and also have the same problem (the phone app does not work from the pie), but I think I have found a solution.
Under the list of normal commands about the pie, select "app" then select "CONTACTS" from the list of applications. This must be some kind of bug, because instead of opening the list of contacts, it opens up the phone dialer app, instantly.
(hopefully this works on other phones) (I am using a custom rom on jelly bean)
