Now if I can just get a gamekeyboard setup to let me emulate my touch screen with my game pad so I can install minecraft and switch it to gamepad or be able to restore it from titanium backup without being able to use my touch screen that would be great! Only works on stock gb tho

I just found about it just recently, even when my flex was damaged and touchscreen didn't work, i didn't know about that keyboard.
You could check app from same developer that have widget for changing keyboard without going to optios menu (if it benefit you). I never used gamekeyboard (in my country i can't buy apps in play store, and it isn't avaible in amazon app store where i can), so i can't help you there much...

[App] Screen Adjuster - Free app to remove yellow tint

I thought I'd share this app with everyone. Did a search, but it doesn't seem to have been posted yet. It's called Screen Adjuster and can be used to remove the yellow tint some people find on their phones. The app does not require root. On mine, bumping the blue to +5 seemed to be enough since it wasn't tinted very badly to begin with.
This is perfect! Jellybean broke screen filter app and I love being able to go below 0% brightness. This app works like a charm.

Not sure how it can do anything real without root access. My guess is it is just sorry of an overlay or something like that.

How can you go to 0%? Isn't that basically screen off, and no light at all?

Annoying

Recently I've flashed a couple roms and my phone started doing this thing where it reads (outloud) the number and the text that I recieve.
It's quite annoying, I've been through all the settings and can't find anything pertaining to it.
Can anyone help me with this?

Must be some other app allowing that to happen (if it's not Talkback or Driving Mode).

Yea I cant seem to figure it out.
It might be SMS Popup.
Let me try to uninstall and see if that fixes it.

Sms popup doesn't read aloud. Check svoice settings I forget what its called but theres a audio option in there that reads whats on the screen. I think its called voice mode or audible mode or something buried in the svoice settings
I like to break stuff!

just to be clear, you mentioned that this is happening across several ROM flashes...
are you TB'ing apps back w/ data? or does this actually happen on a clean flash?
All else fails, nandroid and add apps one by one. What ROM(s) are you flashing?

Any chance this is a feature that got turned on in Google voice?

This is happening over a clean, factory reset rom.
But usually yes I use Titanium.

The last 2 ive had on (when it started) was on Digiblur's ROM.
Now I'm on Slesh's Tweaked Odexed ROM and it's still doing it.

It has to be a feature in touchwiz. I work for sprint and one of our display note 2's is doing the same thing. We can't figure it out either.
Just started a few days ago, out of the blue.

Maybe so. I usually stick with AOSP. Never had an experience like that. I'm not touting one over the other. Just curious what sammy feature would do that. I'll see what I can dig up later.

I finished with it just now and couldn't get it to work by just waking the screen. I use the task when headphones are plugged in it opens my music player which in turn wakes the phone.

Brain fart.... Go into secure settings and click the helper tab and select "install helper" it needs to be done before using secure settings.

Yup it does.
As I said earlier I couldn't get the task to work right.
You'll select plugin > secure settings > edit
Than it'll open secure settings.
Select wake device, select time and hit save at the bottom.
In theory by plugging in the headset the screen should wake.
As I also said, having it open a music player (which I assume is what you'd be using it for) would wake the screen also.

note 2 multi task?

Hello,
I purchase the sprint note 2 unlocked but I don't seem to get the multi task feature which was mentioned in all advertisements of the note 2. Just curious if it was because of me using an unlocked carrier, caused the featured to be unavailable or what can possible be the used.
Its not in your notification bar or settings at all? Its multiwindow btw.

It will depend on the software version you're running.

Try this. Hold the back button down for 2-3 seconds and see if the tab appears any where. It could be hiding, as that is a function of multi-window. Hope that works for you.

Ya make sure it is on in settings. Then hold back and u will see the tab appear on the left. Just drag stuff out of that toolbar to multitask.

Is your HOME button noisy?

I've noticed my HOME button is a little bit noiser than the S4 or Note 2, what's your experience?, thanks
I agree. Also my power button seems to not register well. Do you guys have this problem to?

I do not think the HOME button is defective, it's just a different solution. I've noticed the Trackpad of my MacBook Air is also very noisy
I actually like the home button better on this one than the note 2 i think it pertrudes a tad more which i like

Regardless of the home button I like how the s pen can finally touch the capacitive buttons on the bottom.
