Titanium Backup can create your apps flashable zips

For me, S-pen was a major selling feature for me coz I hated carrying all those A5 notepads to take notes and then storing them. I use S-pen daily for note taking now, and perform backup to email and my cloud.

FYI I use HandyNote by appbody. Don't want to be tied down to Samsung proprietary framework. It's usable on any Android, and gives S-note features on CM10 roms.

HandyNote is damn good, even has palm rejection on Note2. I was surprised at how well it worked.

IMHO, the note2's battery performance has redeemed all complaints about smartphone battery runtimes. When screens were 3" or so, everyone complained they only got thru half day.

Now, with a 5.5" screen, it lasts for 8 f'ing hours of SCREEN ON TIME. So wad to complain laaaaaaaaaaa

Anyway, my pet peeve is also about people complaining about battery dying midway in office. Dude, you are IN OFFICE. Use a charger or carry a damn cable and plug to your notebook !!! Problem solved.

I think, for NFC, since the chip is in the cover, to handle NEW PROTOCOL....just buy backcover v2.0, then update the NFC authentication libs in the ROM, that should be it.

+1000 for point no.2

I think you need to load up TriangleAway and clear the counter first, then Odin flash back to stock.

I think your phone has seen one too many faps.....be a good boy now....

Actually, this whole concern about rooting and all.....the modern smartphone in all respects IS a full blown computer. Personally I feel the lockdowns and all only serve to enrich the manufacturers and not empower the users.

The US Librarian of Congress has approved for jailbreaking and rooting of smartphones as legal.

I suppose in this part of the world, we don't have a watchdog like that to speak on behalf of users to corporations, so we are all living in fear and getting shafted all the time. I wonder if we can petition MCMC/SKMM to legislate on this? I mean, in your standard warranty T&C, your statutory rights are not diminished....sooo......legalized rooting becomes a statutory right....

Absolutely get that. That's why Intel sells you so called "unlocked" cpus for higher margin.....you want to play you pay....but they'll still honor warranty coz they make obscene profits....

Likewise, as the analysis of the Nexus 4 shows, the estimate margin for your general high end smartphone seems to be about USD400...so there....

And then again, people like you and I are not your normal user. We know the risks and are prepared for it. Your mom/dad/uncle most likely doesnt care nor want to do such things with their phone. So, it will not be in the x1000000.

And Samsung still makes $7b+ last quarter.....so, greed vs empowerment.....money talks louder....

Vox populi vox dei?????

Yes. If you take a very casual sum of the numbers on XDA and the downloaded ROMs, lets assume in total 20m devices are rooted and custom rom'd.

Out of the hundreds of thousands of posts (from 20m devices), I'm pretty sure we only read several thousand that said they bricked their device.

So, the rationale is, open up the platform, take the M$ model, install whatever you want, but charge for support calls.....so this forces user to fix their own sh*t, but ultimately if hardware failure, go look for warranty la.

Then again, out of all the people who overclock CPUs, there don't seem to be many who fry the CPU either. Since there's no heatsink on the Exynos, a burn is easy to identify. Just classify a cpu with burn mark as non-warranty-able, and take in everything else.

Open platform, do what you want, mess up, call and pay someone to fix.....

Well, you also get strong civic consciousness and civic action. And keeps everyone on their toes since it's a highly competitive society.
On the flip side you get bread and circuses, but that applies here as well.....

In general, the advancement of society tends to offer more pros than cons, until the people at the top go crazy with political correctness...which has happened in the UK.

Was on the road just now. I think fruity co can also....so isn;t that a problem that manufacturers have learned to deal with effectively?

Did you try the kitchen sink as well?

Odin la...CWM is itself a custom kernel.

Latest innovation from the fruit company !!!!!!

Yes, since V=IR if you recall

So, low quality cables have higher internal resistance, so your nett charging voltage or amperage is reduced.

You can run some kalkulus on this I suppose....

For all of nokia's current faults, they do make good quality hi-spec hardware. I still have my 1m long micro USB cable...works well on my Note2.

Yes cable with clip. I think its CA-101. Horribly expensive last time.

In addition to faps, strong in mathematics this one is......heheh...

What about (34-24-36) + (38-26-42) ?

Does that make sense?
