You need to use a terminal emulator app, unless you have a recovery script. I prefer ConnectBot, but everyone has their own preference, I'm sure. Make backups before you start running random code! What works for one person/phone/rom may not work for you.

There's always MiHome to keep you sated until the full ROM comes out, in case you weren't aware. Comes with the lockscreen, too.

I really marvel at the life-like portraits people draw on this phone... I don't think I'll ever be able to do anything like that. Props to you folks. However, I started a tumblr ask blog for drawing silly stuff and these are the first two requests to come in.

You actually don't even need USB Debugging turned on. You can disable the warning in Titanium Backup's GUI preferences.

I was asked to make someone into Santa Claus by their little brother. His big brother insisted on rosy cheeks, for some reason. I present to you: Santa Claude. Enjoy.

I have it running on mine with no issue. It wasn't compatible on the Play Store, but I just emulated another device with Bluestacks, then transferred the APK to my Note II.

I have no idea what this is supposed to be...

Try SD Maid and look at the Biggest Files tab.

Do you have any games or apps that downloaded extra data? Gameloft games love to use your internal storage and ignore the SD card.

I was actually about to edit my post with that; I can confirm that it doesn't play nice with that, either. I tested the stock multi-window and the one that allows you to control which apps you can use.

Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, TouchWiz launcher force closes for me. Stock deodexed. Call me crazy, but I actually prefer the TW launcher to others. I'll get over it for now, though. The keyboard is really the only thing that was holding me back from 240. I love the handwriting recognition. :)

As a preventative measure (and for peace of mind), you can install Lookout, then hide it from the app drawer and disable the icon in the notifications. Sure, someone smart would probably look for that app and disable it or wipe it, but it could give you enough time to find your phone. I turn...

I couldn't seem to connect to the tracker and the normal download link is for V5. I found V6 via a simple URL change. :P [Click!]

This should answer your question: [Click!]

Maybe I'm just crazy and haven't noticed these before, but today I noticed a Verizon Wireless text across the top of the lock screen and also the bottom of the notification shade. I know the notification shade is pretty standard, but I don't recall seeing either of those before today. Right...

Google Now checks when I'm away from home and tells me how long it takes to get back with traffic, probably using the GPS. Have you activated Google Now?

I had no issues using this method. Tedious, but effective.

Awesome! No issues except not being able to add past the eighth row, which can be circumvented by adding apps to the bar until you can get the one you need into the eighth row. Thanks! I can finally have Google Voice and Opera open at once! :D

And now, for something not so great. We're all artists, whether good or bad. :P I think I spent a bit too much time on this turn, though...

It's a centipede. Creepy little things... *shudders*

I was annoyed at first, especially since it looks just like an Apple iPod cable at first.. Since I got a black and white case, though, it goes along nicely with it.

I hope no one reading this thread intended on sleeping tonight... saw this in the Wal-Mart parking lot.

Maybe so, but that involves modifying each individual app, including any time those apps need to update. I'd like to see something where multi-window handles any app without modifying them all. They have mods for that, but they're for deodexed roms.

SuperSu has a full unroot option. I've never used it, but it's there, if you want to try.

Thanks! Bottom and top mic are both working now. :)

Please keep in mind that I've never used Odin, so this may be a stupid idea, but... Is the MD5 verified by the phone or Odin? What is it verifying against? If the tar is 100% good, couldn't we fool Odin with a memory editor by replacing the expected MD5 with the actual MD5? Sorry if I sound...

Possibly the best so far. I can now imagine a Star Wars figure using it as a lightsaber popping up in this thread.. :P

I think I've seen that addressed on YouTube. Try disabling the ripple effect on the lockscreen and see if that helps you any.

At least, that's what the Samsung site says when I register it. See the attached screenshot. I blanked out the IMEI. I figured Verizon's been stockpiling these for at least a month, but I guess not... Might be useless information, but I thought I'd share. I found it interesting. Also, if you...

Almost everything with a manual is going digital. Lower costs and makes a company look "green". Anyhow, you can use the help app on your phone. The users manual is located within.

S-Note is included, yes.

Who else picked up their Note II in a brick and mortar store? Did you get there before the store opened? Were a lot of people waiting for or discussing the phone? I got to my local Verizon store a few minutes before it opened. There was already a guy waiting there, so I asked him if he was...

I think you can cut your existing SIM down, if you're very careful or use a tool, if you want to avoid getting your phone activated at the store. http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-57484847-285/how-to-cut-your-own-micro-sim-card/

Coming from a Galaxy Vibrant, where I rarely got a fix at all, this is pretty impressive. First shot is inside, second is outside. Not much difference aside from the five seconds between fixes.

Here's a pic of it relaxing while downloading about 3.5GB for a game. Yes, on WiFi. We only have 6GB between three people for now on the shared plan. Excuse the quality, it was taken with my old Samsung Vibrant.

Did you also notice the "Home" text above Verizon's logo? Couldn't cover that one up, that's for sure. :rolleyes:

I believe Sprint already received an update, so VZW isn't the only US carrier to have split-screen functionality. Verizon's site lists the split-screen multitasking as a feature of this phone, so I imagine the phones people are receiving have this feature built-in already. I'm sure someone who...

I've had one on backorder, but I've not yet passed the two week threshold. For what it's worth, Verizon has them in stock online: [Click!] I don't know about in stores when the Note II releases with them, though.

I'm going to wait until a video tutorial pops up, where I can watch someone perform the action to their device, before I try it on mine. I hate the VZW logo on the button as much as the next person, but I'm not going to risk having a screwed up button over removing the logo.

Ditto. I think they've been plenty annoyed with me already asking when the launch date is and if they can reserve one for me (I can't pre-order and keep my Alltel phone online), so maybe they'll just shove one my way early. I called last morning and they said they were "getting them in" today...

To be fair, I don't know of any development of Gingerbread for the Note II. This is posted in the Note II forum. :P Nevermind, I guess the title of the thread is misleading to others searching for it... ignore this post. Sorry.

Thanks! I swiped the last one. He/she must've grabbed them from a U.S. Cellular store nearby. Not sure how much they cost there, but that was a good price considering what Ballistic is asking for online.

I went to my local VZW store and asked the assistant manager about that. He said to call the previous day and he should be able to reserve one for me.

I had that on backorder, thinking it would be great to have a second battery. I thought more about it and I couldn't imagine taking my case on/off every day, as well as the battery door. I've seen a fair amount of people breaking their doors in the Sprint forum due to the design. I'm just going...

Titanium Grey, as it's the closest to black that I can get. I like dark colors. I'll probably get a Ballistic case in black and white to go over it, though.

I know there's already a thread about accessories, but this is more for discussion of compatibility. The manual for the Note II says not to use screen protectors, as they may interfere with the S-Pen. I know from past experience that Gorilla Glass is not scratch-proof. My Samsung Vibrant has...

I never did have a Smartphone or data plan with Alltel. I currently have a Samsung Double Take with just voice. I can text or picture message from it, but it costs per message, iirc. Thanks for the info, though.

I finally went to a VZW store and got all the details. They are shutting down merged Alltel services on Verizon, which means my phone won't work from January on. This means I have to upgrade to a VZW phone and that means my plan has to change. They threw in a $50 credit toward an upgrade with a...

I'm not sure what she pays for her unlimited plans, but she said it will all come up to about the same price when she switches. I did encourage her to keep unlimited data, because I can live without an in-service smartphone. Also, I forgot to include the main reason I'm picking up in store...
