Under Settings -> Personal there is One-handed Operation. I don't think it does what you're describing, but I think it shifts certain elements like the keyboard to one side to make it easier to use with one hand. Might at least help some.

AndreiLux from the Perseus Kernel said to ignore whether it says "sane" or not and only look at the version. The eMMC chip you have on the CLN is the same as mine (I've had no issues but that obviously doesn't mean anything). I got my phone at the end of December; I wonder if the early batches...

adrynalyne, did your stock phone have the emmc that was reported to have the issue, VTU00M revision 0xf1, or did it have a different emmc chip? If other emmcs are affected beyond the one that was the problem in the gs3 that makes things scarier because not all note 2s have that chip.

If you root and do custom roms you should do FAT32 because not all kernels (both for recoveries and for roms) have a good exFAT driver. TWRP, for example, doesn't support exFAT at all last I checked, so you wouldn't be able to read/write roms and backups from your SD card if you use TWRP with an...

This is a kernel for TouchWiz ROMs and won't be compatible with AOSP-based ROMs. So, no.

I'm occasionally getting nasty kernel wakelock while sleeping. I live in an area where I can occasionally pick up the edge of 4g, so sometimes my phone switches back and forth between 3g and 4g, I don't know if that's what's causing it? Anectodally, that usually happens ever half hour-45 min...

For what it's worth, arbitrary code execution is a pretty serious vulnerability. Obviously it's often what allows devs to do what they do, but most sane software devs don't intentionally leave major security holes in their product. It might look like Samsung/VZW is "out to get you" or some such...

No reboots yet since 30.1, everything's been good. Just flashed 31.2. Not sure if the eMMC type/revision just depends on the batch, or maybe different batches were for different carriers (I'm on VZW), but I have a completely different type. Type: MAG4FB FwRev: 0xf7 Obviously it's not the...

Do you have anything else you could try syncing your phone to in order to see if it only happens with your car or if it happens with anything? Might be a decent first step. I had a similar issue on one of my old phones but chalked it up to the bluetooth adapter in my laptop because it would...

Couple things. First, the reference thread linked in the OP is better for posting bugs than this one if you think you're having an actual issue. If you get a random reboot, do a cat /proc/last_kmsg and output it to a text file, then upload it to that thread. That will provide the dev with a log...

I've had charging problems but only with the Samsung stock AC/USB adapter part of the charger. I use the same cable with a different AC plug and the phone charges fine. With the stock one it'll charge for about 5-10 minutes and then just stop.. if I unplug it for awhile it will charge again, but...

I'm sure you could Odin a factory image and probably be fine, but I'd exchange it. No reason to take a chance on a brand new device before messing around with it IMO. If it doesn't even work out of the box, I'd be skeptical.

I'm sure you're looking for a headset, but figured it's worth mentioning that bluetooth calls work fine using Sync in my Ford Focus.

I've had two reboots in about a week on my Verizon Note II. I was traveling when I got the first one and so couldn't pull a last_kmsg for you, but I got one this time. Running on the stock settings from the kernel flash, no changing stepping or voltage in STweaks, stock clock speed. For what...

I also had an issue with the Wifi Tether app. If you select it in aroma when flashing the ROM it installs to /system/app and would constantly FC if you tried to start tethering. I removed it from there (had to remount and rm it, wouldn't let me through the uninstaller), installed the latest...

Why are people so adamant about a reboot every day? Seriously, that was sort of necessary like 10 years ago, but modern devices really don't require it. They have enough disk/processing/memory capacity to be able to dynamically allocate resources without getting all messed up. It was a big deal...

Funny, I've only had the Note 2 a few days and haven't been in any good 4G areas yet, but I find so far that it's much better than my Rezound. Where I live I only have 3G, with 4G being across the lake.. my Rezound would pick up 4g for 30 seconds at a time very rarely (like once a week), and...

Seriously, battery life on this ROM is the best I've ever had on this phone. This is fairly light usage (some texting, a bit of gtalk, some Twitter, a couple of 5 minute calls, but a lot of idle time). Screen on time still chews battery, but that's really it. This is the standard battery, not...

I know you said you said you looked at background data, but does that include going into the Pokemon Tweaks and looking at the hidden power menu there? There is a background data option there that fixed it for me. I think it's checked to turn it off by default, uncheck it, or something. Took me...

If you want to go back to stock, you can lock the bootloader and RUU. You'll have to use whatever version your firmware is currently on (so if you flashed the ICS firmware, you would have to use that RUU, if you're on older firmware, flash whatever GB one you're on). Edit: You can flash to a...

Might be a problem with udev rules, try running fastboot as sudo if you haven't yet. Likewise for adb if that doesn't work either (though obviously adb will only work when in recovery or normally booted, and fastboot commands only work when you're in fastboot). If running them as sudo works...

It sounds like you're missing the part where you, you know, actually flash the ROM. The kernel zip and the ROM zip are separate; the kernel (normally found in PH98IMG.zip) is flashed in hboot/fastboot, the ROM (where the zip is called whatever) from recovery. It doesn't matter which order you...

Unlocking the bootloader does not root your phone by itself, but it does allow you to take the necessary steps to do so. Once you are unlocked, you can flash a custom recovery partition, and from recovery you can easily root (Amon Ra recovery even comes with the option to do so). Custom...

If your battery isn't completely dead, try this. Unplug it, pull the battery for a few seconds, put the battery back in (do not plug the phone back in), and attempt to power it on. Once it starts to boot, feel free to plug it back in. I had this happen to me once when I was screwing around with...

Why can't you use Titanium? It works fine for me. I just do a batch restore, only do missing apps w/data (no system settings), and usually give it a quick look through to make sure I'm not restoring anything I don't want. Have had no issues with any apps or system responsiveness this way. I also...

Sense 4.0? Sounds yummy.

mkdir ~/.android echo 0x1949 >> ~/.android/adb_usb.ini ADB needs this entry to see the Kindle Fire no matter what OS you're on.

Or, if you can't get there through adb but can with fastboot fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000 fastboot reboot

If adb doesn't see it on your mac, do mkdir ~/.android echo 0x1949 >> ~/.android/adb_usb.ini

You might be able to replace the android-info.txt in the PH98IMG.zip with the one from dsb's kernel, making the hboot think you're not flashing backwards. Not positive if that works though.

For the market in particular there is a MarketOpener.apk file that'll add a shortcut for you. You'll find it with a quick search, I don't have a link handy. If you're looking for more than that though, no idea.

I've seen it show up as unknown USB device before. You can't install the drivers when it's in this state. Usually doing a hard reset on the device (hold power for ~20 seconds to turn off then turn it back on) fixes the device and it will show up as either Amazon Kindle with a yellow exclamation...

I have no recommendations or comments on using a pen, but in terms of alternate keyboards I am a big fan of Thumb Keyboard. It has different layouts you can use depending on how you like to type including a neat split portrait layout and multiple split landscape layouts perfect for holding the...

Pretty sure the stock ROM is also Gingerbread, just as an FYI.

I'm a big fan of this ROM, love the app drawer and the dialer in particular. Works fine with other kernels, too, I'm currently running it with stock unsecured+init.d kernel, but I've been flashing random ones to try them out. To the wi-fi module, if you use dsb's kernel that's included with...

As an update to my issue, I just did a full wipe to install a new rom, the new BAMF one, and using the kernel that came with that ROM I can't seem to force boot loops (still trying, but really seems stable). Haven't tried incredikernel again yet, but maybe the trick is just doing full wipe, then...

Burrito Root gives you root through ADB. In order to get permanent root that's usable by applications such as Root Explorer you need to push the su binary and install the superuser.apk. Not sure if that was covered in whatever video you watched, but there should be instructions and download...

No. It goes through the normal boot sequence: White HTC quietly brilliant screen, beats logo, 4g LTE screen, repeat. During this time logcat is throwing out a TON of errors on stuff not being found or not being able to load (I have the logcat file stored somewhere). When the error actually...

After you install it you need to move the .so file from /data/data/com.beansoft.keyboardplus/lib into /system/lib and then match permissions on the file to the rest of /system/lib (should be 644 I believe?). That'll stop the FCs.

Glad to see some more people working on kernels for this phone. One issue I've run into with any OC kernel for this phone (Ziggy's, dsb's, and this one) is a reproducible boot loop issue. I've tested it (with various kernels) on a couple different roms (BAMF and a couple similar test roms, don't...

You might be able to fix some of those issues by editing your build.prop to make it look like another device. I believe there is either a utility or tutorial kicking around here somewhere, maybe in the development section?

Simply clearing the data on the kindle app might fix the issue too, though without knowing how deeply Amazon login is integrated it might take more than just a data clear on the Kindle part (because the reader is still just an app).

Yeah, it'll require an official CWR and maybe an update to ROM Manager to support it. There's a build of CWR out there for the phone now but it's not an official build by Koush so I'm guessing that's why it's not integrating with ROM Manager.

Any word if any of these updates fix the broken word thing? For what it's worth, that issue normally seems to happen when tracing over the center of the keyboard quickly. I've switched to swiftkey then to thumb keyboard as I usually prefer two-handed typing anyway, but I'd like to use Swype in...

ADB is needed to get into fastboot, but it's quick. If you use KFU, you can probably hit the option during the couple seconds you have available. I would say your best bet, however, is booting into twrp, doing a full wipe of system, cache, davlik cache, and maybe data, and then trying the rom...

If they just want the google marketplace then you can root and install the market on the stock ROM. If you want a custom rom, your best bet right now is CM7. If you give it a month or two I'm sure there will be a decent ICS daily driver out. It sort of depends on how far you need to go before...

Freezing apps with titanium is a paid feature. I think Root Uninstaller has a freeze option that might be available. Or you can just remove them if you know you don't want them.

When you flashed the zip to go back to stock, did you wipe everything first? System, data, cache, davlik cache. Might try a full wipe then flash the stock image.

Are you sure that you're correctly in fastboot when trying to run the unlock bin? You need to pull the battery, power on with Vol Down + Power, it should bring you to the hboot. There will be a menu with options (fastboot, recovery, reboot, a couple others) that you can scroll through. Highlight...

Getting ADB working is your best bet. Even if you can get it rooted without adb, it will save you a lot of headache later if something doesn't work. Getting adb to work on Ubuntu with the Kindle Fire should just require downloading the sdk, running the SDK manager to install platform-tools...
