Is this possible to mod because I'm not sure it's the phone the need mod or the bluetooth device?
If it is, then any guide or information about where or which file I need to do so ?

Hi.
I imagine you would need to install a language pack or something for your phone. Go to your language and keyboard settings and see if there is an option to change the language to, there is on mine.

The phone already support my language (text only) by android 2.3 standard but not voice recognition yet and there aren't any available yet in any system that really work well enough and even there are any, I'm not plane to use that function anyway due to bluetooth mic. still make the recognition incorrectly most of the time because of the noise from environment.

FAQ frequently asked questions

I'm posting this mostly for informational purposes to try and stop the same question being asked a billion times like some questions have been. ill try to keep this up to date as much as I can if I see questions getting asked repeatedly
Q: why should u root my g note 2?
A: wireless tethering works now, also: 5 words: every app in multi window. you can have every app in multi window action with a deodexed Rom and you can back up every app with titanium backup.
Q: how do I root my phone
A: I'm not going to go into this since there are many options, ways and since it changes so rapidly. look in the android development section of our phone's forum for the best option for you. Just do an in-forum search for root.
Q:What is the difference between the firmwares/what does all this talk about LJ1/LJC/LK8/MA5/MA7/MC2 mean?
A: different firmware names are usually associated with updates to the stock system files. they are named after the modem (or radio software) and usually bring improvements or changes to the phone capabilities or bugs. there is usually different root methods for different firmware. this phone came stock with LJ1, got updated to LJC soon after to include multi-window and extended toggles support, and recently (as of the last time this post was edited) we got a leak of LK8 which brings minor stability and Bluetooth fixes. MA5's leak was a bit useless as nothing seemed to change. MA7 brought 4.2 and "Google wallet support" more on why it's in quotes in the wallet question. MC2 was supposed top bring bug fixes for many things including wallet but most can agree the wallet problem persists.
Q:My Wi-Fi turns on sporadically. how do I fix it?
A: Turn off connection optimizer under settings-wireless networks-more settings-mobile networks-connections optimizer
Q: How do I unlock the bootloader?
A: No need, only the Verizon one comes locked
Q: How do I draw on pictures?
A: In gallery go into the picture itself then press the menu button then tap on draw on image this flips over the image and you can draw on the back. for the front see the next question
Q: How do I draw on any app like in the commercial?
A: take a screenshot WITH THE PEN by holding the pen button and the screen for a few seconds it will take you to the screenshot to draw on it
Q: Is there any way to wireless tether?
A: now there is! go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1988735 and install that apk. it works with lj1 and ljc and on rooted and with busybox
Q: How do I get music controls on the lock screen?
A: you can't get them directly on the stock lock screen if you're not using security (it works with pin, patter, etc but not swipe), but it will let you pull down the notification bar to use the music controls that show up there. if you REALLY want it directly in the lock screen you'll need a lock screen replacement app that allows it
Q: My pen touches when coming into hovering range/it's too hard to click with it
A: there is two ways to fix this.
1. the crude more dangerous way is to smack it on a hard surface until it works for you (which I don't recommend)
2. the second is to adjust the potentiometer on the pen. pop the button off the pen and turn the screw closest to the tip clockwise for pens that touch while hovering and counterclockwise for pens that are too hard to tap with. trust me this is really easy.
Q: How do I turn on/off 4g? my old phone had a notification bar toggle!
A: go to "settings-wireless networks-more settings-mobile networks-network mode" and select "cdma" to turn off 4g, or select "cdma/lte" for 4g on
Q: does s-beam work with non-samsung phones that have nfc?
A: partially. if the file is small enough it will go through if not it takes the receiving device to a broken pay store link
Q: does Google wallet work?/why doesn't Google wallet work?
A: it's not officially supported before MA7 , but you can enable it, follow these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2037416. After MA7 it's supposed to work naively without hacking but a lot of people especially those rooted it's been nothing but pain. try using it straight from the market and if it doesn't work seek individualized support from the q&a section
Q: no flash on jelly bean?
A: YouTube and most up to date websites are updating to html5. if you still find websites that tell you you're not good enough for not having flash then download it from blapkmarket.com or aptoide
Q: How do I take screenshots?
A: there are three ways with this phone:
1. with the pen: hold the pen's button and the screen for about 3 seconds. only this one takes you straight to drawing on it.
2. with the buttons: hold the home and power button together for about 3 seconds.
3. with the touch screen: swipe your entire palm from left to right on the screen, like you're cleaning all of it off. it's a bit tricky but play around with it you'll get it right every time with practice. *this one needs to be enabled under motion settings*
Q: why does my phone get so hot while charging?
A: the phone will get hotter while charging on low battery from the stock charger because it will try to take as much current as it can and the stock charger can provide 2 amps other charges don't give as much power to the phone so it won't be as hot. but don't worry, the phone itself monitors the battery's temperature and will shut off completely if it gets too hot for its own (or your) safety.
Q: How do I root the latest update/update if I'm root?
A:LK8/MA5/MA7/MC2 needs stock firmware to update as of the last time this post was edited.
Q: how do I get more apps on multi window?
A: get on the latest deodexed Rom by getting a custom recovery then flash this mod (which works in MC2 even though it didn't say so) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1982452 which initially dumps every app into multi window.
Q: How do i get pop up browser (or another browser) back?
A: go to settings> applications and select the browser that had the default url handling and clear it's defaults, once you do that you should get asked which browser you want every time
Q: How do I skip music tracks/pause without turning on my phone?
A: while you can't just hold the volume buttons like in other phones the end call button on the stock headphones can pause and skip tracks. just click I once to pause, twice rapidly to skip
Q: can i use my mhl adapter and usb otg at the same time?
A: not with simple accessories, but there are ways around this.
1. the dock can do this (but it's always out of stock)
2. use Bluetooth: set up your mhl adapter and have Bluetooth peripherals like ps3 controllers, mice and keyboards.
3. use the Wi-Fi to your advantage: set up your usb otg and stream with allshare, set up an ftp from your phone. or set up your mhl adapter and access your computer files through wifi ftp
4. you can get it done with some tricky wiring, soldering and maybe a bit of cunning. but if you are someone who could get this done with instructions you won't need instructions to figure it out. all you need to know is USB otg pin out that mhl needs power to the phone and the adapter and that diodes and resistors make your apparatus too heavy and ugly and you might as well just buy a dock
Q: how do I change what the physical buttons do?
A:to change the back and menu keys just change it's value on /system/usr/keylayout/generic.kl back is 158 menu is 139. to edit what the hard press buttons do you have to change them BOTH IN GENERIC.KL AND GPIO-KEYS.KL or else your phone will freeze every time you press these, home is 172 in both files, volume down is 114 in both files, volume up is 115 in both files and power is 116 in both files.
I found this specially useful in combination with the soft keys below to make home button a native search button
Q: How do I enable soft keys and/or disable hard and capacitance keys?
A: simple tweak:
to add soft (in the screen) keys follow this:
and8res said:
navigate to system/build.prop
go to the bottom of the page ( document )
add this line
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
save
reboot
check

to disable hard keys:
maxq1 said:
comment out lines on /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl, like so...
Code:
# key 158 BACK
# key 139 MENU
# key 172 HOME
physical home button, however, will still wake up the device (which i prefer) and long pressing on it will bring up s-/google- voice. if you wish otherwise, you can disable it altogether by editing the line on gpio-keys.kl (same directory as above)...
Code:
# key 172 HOME WAKE
then turn off lights via settings/display/touchkey light duration. works on both ics and jb sammy roms. HTH

to revert soft keys just make qemu.hw.mainkeys=1

Q: Can I flash an international or At&t ROM?

Again, if you don't know what you are doing, DO NOT TRY THIS OR ENCOURAGE OTHERS.

I take you're going to extend the post with far more Q&A's?
I'll go ahead and stick it; could be handy to have it in plain sight.

I have the AT&T version, but I doubt it's different in this regard... For the lock screen music controls, they do appear at the top if you use a lock screen other than swipe or tilt. When you use Pattern or PIN, it shows the music controls, but you lose the quick app links. To get both (not at the same time though), you can select Pattern or PIN with swipe gesture. It will show the swipe lock screen with apps at the bottom, then when you swipe the screen it will show your pattern or PIN and the music controls at the top. I've had to resort to using the Pattern unlock just so I can get music controls

Interesting post. Thanks a lot

Q: how do I get more apps on multi window?
A: get on the latest deodexed Rom by getting a custom recovery and flashing this with it's inductions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1981668 then flash this mod http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1982439 which lets you choose among all your apps to put on multi window. there is another that dumps everything into multi window.

tnx brother

new to this section of XDA, and I was wondering if you could add a little explanation of firmware naming convention/progression?
like "ljc" came out on this date, and so forth? took me a day or two to figure that out in the E4GT forums, still learning that here. I just know there are noobs out there scratching head wondering what it all means...

Question about having music on while screen is off
I was wondering why does the music stop whenever I press the lock screen button on the right side of the phone? The samsung galaxy s3 doesn't have that problem and I was wondering how to have the music on while the screen is off. Please anybody let me know...

Browser About:Blank
How do I prevent the stock browser from opening an about:blank window, after I close all open windows? In the past on my E4GT with ICS, the Home page would open after closing all the windows.

niceee.

thanks for the faq.
I have to admit I opened the thread ready to be snarky and find it to be crap, but I actually learned a few new things I didn't know yet. I've had the phone for about 4 days and hadn't figured out some things by playing with it that I got now because of this thread.
should be stickied!

[Q] Small tweak if possible? - KB shortcut button remap?

I try not to ask for help, but unfortunately this one has me a bit stumped..
I started this journey a couple weeks ago by picking up a T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2. Needless to say I <3 it.. Shortly thereafter I received an AT&T upgrade and figured my T-Mobile days were becoming limited (REALLY poor service where I live), So I got an AT&T version.
Although I've rooted both and such within hours of them being charged - I've found one (what I want to call BIG) difference, and I hate it.
It's the keyboard when I'm texting. On the Tmobile version the space button is a little smaller, has a comma on the left side, period on the right side and the 'mode' button (handwriting/speech/keyboard/settings) ..
On the AT&T version the space is a little wider, to the right is the . to the left is a single button that expands out to have ,?!' talk, handwriting, settings.. All of these are into this one little button.
With Tmobile the 'magic button' (since I dont know what it's called) - it defaults to the speech/speak now prompt. AT&T's button defaults to handwriting..
I ACTUALLY use the voice version, however I can count the number of times I've used handwriting / spent on 1 hand. Therefore the only thing I really would pray for is to be able to get the Tmobile note 2 Keyboard layout on the ATT note 2
Background: Both phones are setup exactly the same, with the exact same settings etc.. Just stock roms etc, rooted w/ CWM..
See Screenshots

Wow that is strange. Do you use the number keys at the top? If not you could try out the 4.2 stock keyboard. You could also try copying the "SamsungIME.apk" from "system/apps" from the T-Mobile N2 and onto the AT&T N2.

Well I went ahead and copied both the apk and the opek?
Anywho what that did was it made the 'smart' button turn into the comma.. Better than before (since I dont use the handwriting in texts etc).
The space button is still large as in the difference between the ATT/TM versions.
Also - yes I do use the numbers, since i have many alpha-num passwords it's quite handy not having top flipflop between the regular keyboard and 'sym' to be able to get to the numbers.
Hrmm any other magic files to copy? =)
I'd really just love to have the keyboard from the TM version instead of the ATT version.. Sounds easy but I have no clue where it would be hiding..

I'm going to try it without the odex this go around, will post the results.. Im thinking that may have something to do with it still being different..
I dont know a whole lot about the guts of android programming so I'm going to wing it till I get it where I like it..
If I didn't have to worry about the bloat and other stuff from TM, i'd almost flash the TM version onto it, then flash the ATT modem? /shrug,, however I do really did the I7105 international firmware,, it's fairly nice but i've had a few bugs with it.

Welp - just odex free didnt help at all..
I did however install the TM image which isn't too bad, put the ATT rom on it, and i'm ALMOST where I want it to be..
Somehow the samsungIME.apk/odex isn't all I'm looking for..
Does anyone know what other files control the keyboard layout / keys etc on these?
(Would love to run international 7105 w/ Tmobile key layout =)

Seeing as you have both phones, you're in an ideal position to compare the config files and see what parameters are different.
The general concept:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1988202
I am guessing - GUESSING - that the solution lies in what is different between the two phones in here:
/system/usr/keylayout
(The layout files are all text files.)
Good luck!

I finally got the chance to disect the directory you mention.. Unfortunately the files are exactly the same from what I can tell by looking at each file side by side.
Also copying the whole directory over changed nothing - which further supports said theory in case I overlooked something.

I chose to go with a custom ROM for my N2 (AT&T) and I grieved the loss of my Sammy Keyboard. Once you move to custom, the keyboard is standard or aosp android. i never liked the Android keyboard layout, even though it;s functionality ran circles around Sammy.
To cut to the chase, their are some reasonably priced key boards in the Play Store that run circles around both Sammy and Android. I use Swift, which seems to be the current leader in sales and ratings. Swipe is another one that I hear a lot of people like and it is a third of the price of Swift. I think Swift is worth what you pay for it, even though I still like the layout of the Sammy better.

[Q] WiFi Direct or SideSync keyboard issue

I found some issue with WiFi direct using SideSync.
When I make a WiFi direct connection between Tablet S and S5, I see an S5 screen on my Tablet S.
When I want to type SMS from the Tablet S (using S5 screen) the Samsung Chinese IME keyboard pops up- however my default keyboard is a standard Samsung keyboard. Moreover, the Samsung Chinese IME keyboard becomes somehow a defult keyboard.
In addition, when I hit enter or a space bar key I got some code in SMS window "62#SPLIT" see attached picture.
Very strange behavior...
Any solution?

I cant even get the keyboard to display on my Galaxy Tab S so youre doing one better than me lol

I had that issue when I flashed and played around with a newer Asian firmware. This is something I use all the time so had to go back to US firmware. Although I'm using the latest firmware T800XXU1ANH1, not from Asia, that released and SS works fine.

No, flashing official firmwares should not affect Knox.

Add Tab and Arrow keys to Samsung Keyboard

Hi! I am hoping that someone by now has found a way to add a tab and/or Arrow keys to the stock samsung keyboard. It is still my favorite except for those 2 things missing and don't want to use a different keyboard. I am using Android 4.3 SGH I317.
Is there a forum just for v.4.3 for those who have refused to upgrade? Also, which is the best rootkit right now to use without a laptop, to root it with my phone only.
Thanks!
