Some of the comments: QUOTE brendan soliwoda • I much as I am digging this new phone, I am perfectly content with my Note II and will not be switching anytime soon. Chirag Thakkar • if i m gonna change my note 2 the only device replacing it will be note 3. Ben Barren • i would love the 441 ppi and thinner is better but smaller screen and no S-pen i'll still take Note 2 until Note 3 tho i'd love JB 4.2.2 Mathilda • I can't let go my samsung note 2, because i always need the S pen for my study and write down my note. Note 2 just like my notebook combine with my laptop. Samsung SIV is good, but for student, the features in Note 2 is the reason i can't let go note 2. Romeo Bucur • I already made my choice 3 days ago. Just bought a note 2 and i don't regret it for a second.. the s pen and the large display make browsing the web a very nice experience.. and about the "ppi" war.. note 2 has a beautiful display.. certenly more than the averege user will ever need... can' wait for note 3... k brooks • Ive had my note 2 since September and I still love it and it's still makes the I phone 5 look like a kiddies toy. The screen on the note 2 is still superb (even tho its not full hd) and very bright. I've got 118 apps installed , and it is still as fast as it was when I first got it (which surprises alot of people). The battery life is another great bonus. I'll upgrade , but only to the note 3. I'm sure the S4 will sell very well though and is great for people who can't handle the extra size of the note 2 Aliff Alfiry • Nope, I won't change my Note II for S4. As you can see by now, Note is in it's own league, and the only true successor to Note II is the Note III, not S4. Both cater for different market. S4 for mainstream market, Note for niche market. Alas, I'm sure most of Note II users will wait till Note III comes out and then decide to buy it or not, because going to S4 feels like downgrading no matter how great the performance and screen quality are A review by ZDNet on 2013-02-03 Samsung Galaxy Note 2: Big enough to be worth the trouble - James Kendrick Excerpt: Conclusion: the best phone I have ever used This article has only touched on some of the features that make the Note 2 so useful. Useful is a good description for the Note 2 as it is easily the best phone I have ever used. It's certainly not for everyone, which is true for any smartphone, but for those looking for an innovative phone in the crowded Android space the Note 2 is worth a look.

I suggest she consider the butterfly instead. I have used all these 3 phones n seriously Xperia z n butterfly cannot be compared to note2 due its much bigger display n spen features. Butterfly n Xperia Z quite similar in performance but butterfly thrumps the Xperia Z in display quality n very obvious audio quality. Camera wise both quite similar but Xperia z camera launching is dreadfully miserably slow. Slowest I have seen to date. Xperia Z advantages is waterproof n dustproof And, from one of LYN's most prolific device changers Bujal.x (who aims to change 40+ devices PER YEAR) LINK:Mar 11 2013, 08:55 AM - if you have plan to sell it after few months using it may i suggest note 2? sony's used set price too low compared to samsung~ I am not dissing the other phone. I am just quoting what others have replied when asked which phone should one choose when given a choice between Note 2 and something else. I am of the opinion that to date, there is nothing out there that can yet compare with the Note 2 simply due to the inclusion of the active digitizer and its pocketability. SOME INFO ON LTE (N7105) and its use in Malaysia lemond and his description of LTE experience on Celcom Hikari0307 of S4 thread and his explanation of LTE bands » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « QUOTE(Hikari0307 @ May 28 2013, 03:44 PM) http://www.samsung.com/sec/consumer/mobile...=SHV-E300LDS3LC LTE(900(지원예정)/1800), WCDMA(1900/2100), GSM(900/1800/1900) Since only Maxis uses LTE on the 1800 MHz band currently, theoretically it'll work on Maxis's LTE network but not with Celcom as they use 2600 MHz as well as it won't work in areas where maxis only have 2600 MHz as well. Another possible problem is the 3G frequency support WCDMA(1900/2100) Going by wiki, all Malaysian carriers uses 2100 MHz UMTS, HSPA for 3G so it shouldn't be a problem but seems Celcom uses 900/2100 MHz UMTS, HSPA. Going by industry standards, I assume Celcom uses the 900 MHz outside of Metro areas for data where the lower frequency can cover a wider area mass with lesser amount of towers as well as having better ability to have lesser interference due to obstacles such as walls etc. so that's another possible problem. This is all theoretically and you need somebody to test it themselves to be 100% sure. More posts on LTE to come as users report their experience.

NOTE: If you are getting an AP set, the charger will have the pin configuration of the region it came from (eg 2 round pins for Europe sets) NOTE: If you get a set with a BLACK charger and BLACK cable, you may not be getting a Note II and it is likely a knockoff. How to check your phone - Check your IMEI by dialing #06# and compare it with the one on the sticker on the box. It has to be the same. There could be an extra "/01" which you can ignore. - Check all your phone's features by dialing #0#. You will get a full screen of clickable boxes. Click each one to ensure that those respective features are tested and working fine. Hit the back button to exit the test you are in. The screen you will see is this: - Remove the battery and confirm that there is a SIRIM sticker (applicable only to SME sets). Then compare the serial number, ensure it matches with the one on the box sticker. - Go to Settings>Storage and ensure that it is showing 10.36Gb total space (if you have a 16Gb device) This is the correct amount of free storage after the default software is loaded.

The only phone with a larger battery is the Motorola Razr MAXX with a 3300mAh. My 2 cents about battery use: Firstly, ALL USERS here on this forum report usages >12hours ie 1 whole day out, with at least 3hours AND MORE of "Screen On Time" or what we term "SOT". Typical battery life tends to be 4+hours SOT with 18+hours total use. This is a SMARTPHONE and should be enjoyed for all its wonderful features of large screen for movies/browsing/reading, powerful CPU for gaming, data connectivity for surfing etc. If you can get 1 whole day's use out of a full charge, I don't see why there is a need to complain. Charge when you are sleeping. Read the link about batteries, and you won't kill your battery from overnight charging. IF you are getting less than 3hours SOT, and/or less than 12 hours of total use, then the most likely cause is some badly behaved app or apps that won't go to sleep and keeps your CPU running high. See Advanced Topics for Wakelocks and what to do about them. See Post 11 for some of our forumer's Battery Life Records. Anyway, a some battery life RECORDS !!! Submitted 2013-02-25: 4d1h28m total, with 4h00m SOT !!! Submitted 2013-02-28: 4d2h19m total, with 3h56m SOT !!! An excerpt from Anandtech's review of the S4 (2013-04-24), where there is a section on Charging: http://www.anandtech.com/show/6914/samsung-galaxy-s-4-review QUOTE The non-linear nature of Quick Charge significantly shortens charge time, particularly in the very early stages of charging when the device's battery is presumably fully discharged. As the device's battery voltage increases, current delivery tapers off and the QC advantage is no longer as great as a standard USB BC 1.2 solution. The end result though is significantly improved charge times. The graph below shows the benefits of using Samsung's own charger vs. a standard charger that implements the USB BC 1.2 specification. When used with the bundled charger, the Galaxy S 4 recharges much faster than HTC's One, despite using a larger battery. Obviously the Galaxy S 4 will charge with any USB charger, but the charge time will simply be longer. Samsung uses a voltage divider and signals the presence of their own charger by sending 1.2-1.3 V across the D+ / D- pins, this is similar to what Apple does with 2.0 or 2.8 V across the pins for various USB chargers they've shipped over the years. This signaling is essentially Samsung's proprietary tablet charging signaling which they've employed on the Galaxy Note 2 and now SGS4, in fact the two use the same exact charger, so it's worth tossing out your old ones and getting the appropriate one to take advantage of the faster charging.

MicroSD (or sometimes abbreviated "usd/uSD" card since "u" looks like the Greek letter "mu") is the physical format of the card. The logical format (ie how the computer/phone sees it) can be FAT16, FAT32, exFAT or even NTFS. FAT32 officially supports up to 32Gb, and the max file size LIMIT for FAT32 is 4Gb. Cards greater than 32Gb will default to 64Gb and be in exFAT format. Only Windows 7 and above support exFAT natively. Vista and Windows XP need additional drivers.

The digitizer creates an electromagnetic field that detects the S-Pen up to 12mm away. Jointly, this also allows for more precise content manipulation and rendering. The Air View feature, for example, uses the digitizer to preview content based on the proximity of the S-Pen to the display. The S-Pen in the Galaxy Note 2 is longer, thicker, and more ergonomically designed compared to the one in the original Galaxy Note. The S-Pen allows for some of the Note family's (the original Note, Note 10.1, Note 8.0, Note II) most innovative features, including Easy Clip, which allows quick cropping of images by simply pressing the S-Pen button; Quick Command, which activates frequently used apps just by swiping up on the display; and Air View, which allows previewing of content when the S-Pen is placed near the display.

Advice and testimony by aspire2oo6 to someone expressing doubt about getting a Note 2 - 2013-04-04 LaFiero from the Reddit Android (/r/Android)section, explaining how the Note 2 has changed the way he uses a smartphone - 2013-03-16 » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Quick background: I'm probably what most would consider an average smartphone user. I use my phone for fairly common things: email, text, weather, YouTube, browse the web, Google Reader (RIP). Nothing too heavy. I’ve owned an iPhone 3G, a Samsung Captivate (OG Galaxy), Atrix 2, and a HTC One X. I recently upgraded to a Note II (refurbished for $0.99 from AT&T, woot woot) and it's completely changed the way I use my phone, but not for the reasons you might imagine. Yes, the large screen is nice and has changed the way I browse the web. I can open up the desktop version of a website and read all of the text without having to zoom in, at all. But the real thing that has changed how I use my phone? Battery life. And this isn't even bespoke to the Note II. The Razr Maxx (HD) gets great battery life. But I wanted to post this to let people who are in the market for a new phone know that battery life really will change how you use your phone. From the moment I leave for school in the morning until the moment I go to sleep at night, I never, ever, even think about my Note II’s battery. No matter what I'm doing. Watching 20 minutes of YouTube? Don't even think about it. Using Maps with GPS turned on? Don't think about it. Streaming music during my 45 minute commute? Nope, don’t think about my battery. In the past, all of these things would have had me frantically checking my phones battery. It wasn’t until I got the Note II that I realized just how much I had been worrying about my phone's battery. I used to constantly check it because below about 50%, all the phones I mentioned above would plummet. **** Some comments from the thread: ToiletNinjasGalaxy Nexus 4.1.1, Galaxy Tab 10.1 Stock, Archos 70 98 points 19 hours ago I just upgraded from the VZW G-Nex up to the Note 2. Like OP said, it really has changed the way I use my phone. With my Nexus, I kept a dock in my office, one in my home office, and chargers plugged in the living room and bedroom as well. Playing a game on an emulator with a USB controller plugged in would drain my battery from full to shutdown in 90 minutes. Even just GPS and Pandora on my 30 minute commute would knock the battery down to 75%. With the Note 2, even with the gigantic screen, I have not yet gotten a battery warning, ever. For a week I still carried my SIM-less Nexus, figuring I could use it for music and games and "save my precious phone battery." Honestly though, even using the Note for music, games, social networking and office apps throughout the day, the battery has held up like a champ. I presume heavy data usage over the mobile data rather than wifi will eventually beat up the battery, like it does on any phone, but honestly overall I'm just completely blown away by the user experience of this phone. ===== theklinksGalaxy Note II, Stock 9 points 19 hours ago I went through the same upgrade -- VZW Gnex to Note 2 -- and actually got frustrated when I couldn't drain the Note 2's battery in one day. Now that I'm used to it, I freaking love it. I can use the hell out of the Note 2 and not worry that I'll be dead in the water on the commute home. ===== ToiletNinjasGalaxy Nexus 4.1.1, Galaxy Tab 10.1 Stock, Archos 70 6 points 19 hours ago One random luxury I've noticed - Splashtop is a DREAM on this phone. Obviously gaming lags insanely and is a poor idea, but it is really nice for viewing content on my desktop, starting up a download to be waiting for me when I get home, or monitoring my system. Even the Nexus' decent sized screen felt a little small, and the curve made it awkward, but the Note 2 really feels like a little "desktop remote". ===== DrDerpbergNexus S, Nexus 4 61 points 17 hours ago I can see it now: a commercial where you get wrapped up in whatever you're watching on your Note II at breakfast. You ignore your food, leaning in focusing on the screen. Time skips a bit and the shadows in your room are different, but you're still staring at the screen with your food in front of you. Time skips again, to the evening. And again, to the middle of the night, with you passed out in your eggs and bacon but still just barely holding your Note II up, chugging happily along. The tag might be something along the lines of "This phone has more energy than you do", but I'm no marketing guru. ===== vincredibleGalaxy Nexus (VZW) 43 points 20 hours ago I agree completely. I had a Galaxy Nexus before I switched to my Note II (both on Verizon) and I had to be so careful with my time spent using the phone. It got decent battery life with the screen off, but even at the lowest brightness, just leaving the screen on for a few texts or a brief bout on Reddit would drain significant percentages of the battery. Don't even get me started on what 5 minutes of YouTube would do to it. I felt the exact same way when I switched to the Note II. For the first few weeks, I was so giddy over the battery life, I was watching it like a hawk, mainly because I wanted to benchmark how awesome it was (and it was pretty awesome), but once I got past the honeymoon phase, it just became this thing I never thought about again. Until I read this thread, I probably hadn't actually looked at my battery meter in days. I charge it at night but I never know how low it is when I plug it in - it's certainly not low enough to be of concern. I do whatever the hell I want on this phone. An hour of YouTube, 6 hours of streaming music at work, calls, texts, Reddit, downloading, uploading, games, GPS. None of it matters. I don't have to worry about whether my WiFi/BT/GPS is on or off and potentially hurting my battery life. The thing just chugs along and never ever gets low. It just works the way I need it to work.

Computer pioneer Alan Kay says the iPad has “been dumbed down so far it’s distressing” (2013-03-29) » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « http://www.androidauthority.com/alan-kay-ipad-181064/ “The iPad’s been dumbed down so far it’s distressing. And Microsoft of course followed suit with its interface.” Kay claims the iPad is an anti-personal computer and not only is difficult, but doesn’t allow for symmetric creation. Instead of personal computers being designed “as a place where people are going to spend a lot of time and different people can exist there”, their design is based on marketing and the most number of devices being sold to the largest number of people. Kay has a vast experience working with mobile computing devices dating back to the 1970s when he worked at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) which developed the first graphical user interface and personal computer. It was from there that Steve Jobs and Bill Gates got their ideas for what would become the two largest operating systems on the planet, Windows and Mac OS.

Here decoding of CSC it suggest which country ROM you are having 'DDMD1' means DD=India, M = 2013, D = April, 1 = first release So DDMD1 CSC suggest your CSC is first released for india on April 2013 same way if we decoding with modem (CP) your modem is DDLK6, that means DD = India, L = 2012, K = November, 6 = 6th release So your indian modem is built in Nov 2012 (6th release in 2012) So if you look to any ROM released after Nov 2012, like LL7 ,MA6, MB2 ,MC3 All have same DDLK6 modem, means there is no update in modem since Nov 2012 (LK6) Now come to PDA (AP) XDMC3 usually PDA remains same for almost country and usually have to count last 3 digits. MC3 means M=2013, C=March, 3 = 3rd release SO MC3 update is 3rd update of March 2013 (though it released in April, still it is built by samsung in march, you can confirm it by setting - about device - kernel it showing 27th March). so built in march but aired in April. samsung code it according when it was built. For 'year' coding samsing uses K=2011, L=2012, M=2013 so on For 'Month' coding A=Jan, B=Feb, C=March and so on K=2011 Hope this should be clear.

QUOTE Noobi3,Jun 16 2013, 01:25 AM - Basically this is what FD do When your phone is connected via data (not wifi) your phone needs to enter certain states in order to maintain this connection. If your Operator does not have FD support or you have it disabled, then basically your states are just connected or not connected. What this means is that every time your phone connects to data, it will have to go through all of its internal functions in order to achieve the connection and perform the data transfer. This is slow and obviously the more processing that is required, the more the hit on battery. FD tries to limit this problem by having several different states. Each state has a different level of connection throughput and power consumption. DCH - High volume data (highest power consumption) FACH - Lower volume PCH - No data but keeps connection IDLE_CCCH - Not entirely sure about this one but I think its an interim stage IDLE - Connection dropped (lowest power consumption) When in DCH state, your phone is doing the highest volume of data transfer, and obviously consuming most power out of your battery. The way FD will work is when transfer rates drop, the state drops to FACH for less power consumption and then back up immediately to DCH if required, or if this transfer state is over for the time being, (eg. you have stopped browsing) instead of going back to IDLE which would mean going through all the connection procedures next time data is required, the state drops down to PCH. This is a very low powered state, and when data is subsequently required, it can then immediately go back up to FACH or DCH with minimal effort. Going up/down between each states takes the least amount of time and battery Whether you keep FD on or not depends primarily on if your network operator supports it. If your network operator supports it, then enabling it is not necessarily the best answer, as it then depends on the combination of the following 2 things: 1. How you use your phone If you are a heavy data user then enabling FD is almost certainly the way to go. The less the phone needs to do to fire back up the connection the better. However, if you rarely use the phone for a data connection, then it may prove beneficial to you to switch it off so that the IDLE state is entered sooner. Bear in mind before you decide on if you should turn it on or off, what your data sync type options for contacts/calendar/email etc. are. If you dont browse too often, you may still be using data quite often even though you are not physically doing so through various background syncs. 2. How "intelligent" your Operator's FD actually is. This can be done via a simple test. With wifi off and FD enabled, at the dialler, type #0011#. This takes you into the ServiceMode menu. The important piece of information here is the RRC State line. Press the home button and open a browser session and go into a web site, then immidiately long press the home to get the list of tasks and select the ServiceMode app. The RRC State line should be DCH (or at least FACH) and you should see some activity in your signal indicator arrows on the status bar. Eventually you should see it drop down from DCH -> FACH -> PCH -> IDLE (sometimes you may see IDLE_CCCH). Ideally, the state should stay at PCH for a while, then eventually drop to idle. My findings are on JB, that FD isn't handled as well as it was on ICS, but this will probably be due to it still being a leak. It seems for me, it goes from DCH -> FACH, and shortly after that drops to IDLE. This is not great if your going to be using more data shortly, but ok if you are no longer browsing. Swings+roundabouts. Remember FD only applies to a data connection. It does not kick in whatsoever when you are connected to wifi. The quality of your data connection (ie. H+, H, 3G) will also have a bearing on how FD will perform. Better connectivity should give you a more efficient FD performance. Tip 1. If your wifi sleep policy is set to "keep wifi on during sleep only when plugged in" then this will mean your data will take a hit whenever your screen is off (unless plugged in of course) If you think FD is not for you because "I'm almost always connected to wifi" (ie. at home/work) then you will still need to consider what the best FD policy is for you when on this sleep policy, as obviously, your screen is off most of the day. Tip 2. If you are not connected to wifi overnight (either your not at home, or your wifi sleep policy dictates) bear in mind what your phone does overnight in terms of background data activity (ie. your data sync options and widgets such as news/weather etc). If you have minimal data activity overnight (you set your widgets to sleep for example), then it would be better to switch FD off, as less battery would be consumed to go straight back to IDLE than hang around for possibly 10 minutes or more each time in FACH.[/I] Galaxy Charging Current (GCC) LINK:The original XDA thread describing what it does (from S3 thread) LINK:The other XDA thread describing it in the Note 2 thread Get it from here: LINK:GalaxyChargingCurrent APK This is the best way of detecting incoming charge current for your Galaxy Note 2 (also works on the S3). It does not seem to work on other devices. It reads a file here /sys/class/power_supply/battery/current_avg This provides an objective method to compare charging variances, and will help to narrow down slow charging issues. Very often it is the cable, or a combination of a lousy charger with the cable. The Note needs a charger that outputs at least 1.5A (with GCC readings of 1400 and above) for good charging speeds. After extensive testing by forumers, and most notably brotan, good chargers output 1500 and above. brotan has a supply of DUAL USB, DUAL 2A output chargers that have been tested working by several forumers. He also has original cables that can carry 2A current properly. Read brotan's extensive writeup on batteries and charging - brotan If you experience slow charging (ie normal is 2+ hours, anything longer than 3 hours is slow) Posted by sai86 from an XDA post, v22/2094 QUOTE I knew something was wrong when it took my phone 6 hours to charge from 22% to fully charged on the stock kernel, so I had my carrier swap my data cable. Swapping the data cable didn't fix the random slow charging issue. If you view the battery stats under settings, your phone will indicate what kind of source it's getting its charge from. I discovered sometimes when you plug your phone in via the stock travel AC adapter, your phone detects it as a USB port. It's not the charger that is the problem, but how Sammy designed the charger port or an error during the assembly process. I found a work around to avoid the phone thinking it's being plugged into a USB port. Once I initially lineup the data cable with the charger port, very very gently push down on the data cable as you fully insert it into the charger port. If you don't do so, it's usually a hit or miss when it comes down to what the phone will detect between AC and USB mode. This is the first phone that I own that seems to have this issue. Every since I've figured out what's been happening, I've been able without fail to avoid the slow charging issue. Note: Use GCC whenever you plug in and you can determine immediately whether it is charging as AC or USB. USB will show a reading of 460 only. Re-insert your cable until it reads above 1000.

Pocketnow is currently in the midst of reviewing the BlackBerry Q10, a peculiar blend of yesterday’s design cues with a modern OS – and we’re enjoying the feeling of real physical keys under our thumbs again. The third-generation Apple iPad and Microsoft’s Surface RT also share space in our office, and we love the sturdy (if heavy) hardware feel of each. Other high points include the 4:3 aspect ratio of the former, and the capacity of the latter to transform into a faux-ultrabook when needed. They’re excellent pieces of hardware. What do these smartphones and tablets have in common? They’re all devices we have great things to say about. They all play an important, positive part in our day-to-day interactions with technology. And, at one point or another, every single one of them demonstrates software lag. ............ Some comments: sggodsell • 21 hours ago The thing is people who use android don't understand where the lag can come from. First of all android is using a java virtual machine (dalvik VM) to run all the apps as well as the launcher. So each time an app is launched the dalvik VM has to load and compile the app. In other words when the app is compiled the VM generates binary code that is native for the CPU/architecture that the VM is currently running on. Now there is a jit (Just in time compiler) as well to help speed things up. There is so many advantages why Google an android took this approach. One of the major ones is that you are not tied to any CPU/architecture. That is why blackberry can run android apps. Also you see x86 android devices running android apps as well. WP and .net are suppose to be kind of like java. However most developers compile the WP apps native to the platform. So the app will not work cross platform. There is an advantage to doing this of course, and that is the apps will run faster since they are already complied for a particular CPU/architecture. Now android can do the same as well by making your app use native code for a particular CPU/architecture (ndk). But now the app is not cross platform any more. So basically the more ram and CPU you throw at android the better. Since most android phones nowadays offer high specs, then this isn't an issue anymore. Jay Monstrous • 2 days ago I know the perfect example of this. I started playing the new Ironman game on my Galaxy Note 2. My friend was playing the same game on his iphone. His was lagging and I said how can you play with that lag. He had just gotten used to it. I used to be used to it too but after using a device with less lag, I don't think I would go back. Herman • 4 days ago It reminds me of when I play games on my PC. People would come and say my games lag a lot. The funny thing is: I don't notice a thing. I'm used to it, and I enjoy the games I play. I guess what I'm trying to say is, even with a bit of lag here and there you can still enjoy a device.

Introduction to Rooting - Part 1 - Theory
Much of this post is compiled and written up by me based on reviews of various sources around the net and other sections of LYN. Sources and Contributors are duly acknowledged. If you wish to reproduce this writeup please PM me that you are doing so and acknowledge me as well. Thanks.

A bit of evangelism before we begin:
10 reasons why Android is still better than iOS - AndroidAuthority - 2013-01-17
Read the comments for a feel of what people think after having read the article.

Since we're actually going to discuss rooting, here is an article for you to understand why your phone is not supplied rooted out of the box:
Why Doesn’t Android Come Rooted? - 2013-03-12

So now let us begin.

A very very brief description of phone architecture: portions of writeup credits to antt00 for clarification

The table shows components of the architecture from bottom to top. At the lowest level you have the physical hardware, then upwards you have the firmware and the rest. The userland is where the User (you) interact with the hardware using the programs/apps you installed.

I'm writing this because you are holding a portable COMPUTER that has phone capabilities. So you should treat your device like a COMPUTER first, and a phone and/or camera second. See this:LINK:Smartphones are the PCs of the future

A "ROM" typically contains a kernel, a radio (some have several you can choose from) and the userland. Some ROMs do not contain a kernel or you can elect not to install its default kernel and use the one you currently have.
I provide a link further down this writeup to the Cyanogenmod wiki for a further explanation.

The Baseband or Radio contains settings to connect to the transmission towers, while the CSC contains settings specific to your mobile operator in the APN list (eg Maxis 3G, Maxis Streaming, Celcom 3G/2G etc)

Component	Changeable?	Description
Rest of ROM (userland)	Y	eg monx, Alliance, Phoenix (usually "ROMS" include the kernel and radio as well)
Kernel	Y	The Kernel is a low level component that handles management of the hardware. It exists in all Operating Systems like Linux, Windows, OSX etc. Android is based on Linux, and Google has been cooperating with the Linux community to merge kernel development effort. eg Abyss, Perseus, Redpill
CSC (Carrier/Country Specific Code	Y	CSC settings include the APN (Access Point Names) list for your region's telco settings. It provides some parameters for your specific telco (eg Maxis 3G, Celcom 3G, Maxis Streaming etc). Some ROMs contain multiple CSCs for more region support. You typically do not mess with this otherwise you will not be able to access the data network.
Baseband (also known as Radio)	Y	The radio handles your phone's hardware communications with the telco network. It simply allows your device to fulfill its phone function. eg DLK5, DLK7. Some apps allow you to change the network parameters used. DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS unless you REALLY KNOW what you are doing!
Recovery	Y	The Recovery allows you to perform some functions like flashing mods and ROMs. It is the lowest level component that the user can interact with. eg CWM, Philztouch, TWRP LINK:What is CWM (explains about CWM, but applicable to any Custom Recovery)
Firmware begins:Bootloader	Y	This starts the phone booting process when you press the power button. It is also the location of flash counter. Triangle Away changes values here. The bootloader is UNLOCKED. However, there are no custom bootloaders yet for the Note 2.
Hardware (components)	N	Screen, Battery, the stuff you can touch

Of course someone like AdamOutler (on XDA) can mod the HARDWARE. That guy is a real guru.

You CAN mix and match components marked "Y" from different countries, kernel, ROMs etc. It's fine, although some Radio versions may give you reduced signal performance.

For those who prefer a more visual discussion: (contributed by TamiyaOne)

A note about CPU, RAM, ROM and "Storage"
Think about you sitting at a desk with drawers. You are the CPU. The RAM is like your desk space. The larger your RAM or desk space, the more stuff you can work on at a time. But then of course, the more you work on, the more "you" is needed ie multi-core CPUs. Storage is like your drawers. The larger your drawers (storage) the more stuff you can store (your mp3s, mp4s, pdfs etc).

ROM, in this case, is technically "Read Only Memory". It is like the master plate used in printing, or perhaps a DVD. You can deface, tear or crumple your printout but you can always get a fresh printout by stamping from the master plate. So the ROM is actually a master plate or clean slate you can revert to if you have problems with FCs (forced closes) or random problems with your phone. You get the clean slate by performing a Factory Reset.

In your phone, the ROM resides on an area of Storage that is accessible by the Recovery. In the early days, a ROM was a physical chip that you replaced or re-flashed with special hardware. Nowadays everything is highly integrated.

Some additional clarification from Cyanogenmod if you're still not satisfied with the writeup here.

Now you can begin.

Rooting for Beginners - some general explanations and understanding

The simple, non-sexy, non-flashy, techie answer: root gives you administrator (ie God) access to your device.
Root DOES NOT change your phone in any other way. No speed-ups, no slowdowns, no other changes or magic. But it OPENS THE DOOR to magic

Other answers using different metaphors:

Easiest Explanation EVER To Explain Root Vs Jailbreak
Think of it like the Matrix: Jailbreaking is comparable to what Morpheus could do. He could bend the rules of the system to overcome certain restrictions, but was still bound to its rules. Rooting is what Neo could do. Not only could he bend the rules, he could completely break them

LINK:Difference between ios Jailbreaking and Android Rooting
an excerpt:
Now while IOS users might consider jailbreaking their iPhone the same thing as Android users rooting their Android phones, there is a HUGE difference. In fact, you can't even compare jailbreaking to rooting, and here's why.
Android out of the box allows users to install 3rd party apps (also known as sideloading), already allows you to install themes, and even allows you to install applications directly from your SD card or internal memory of your device. Everything that IOS users hope to accomplish with jailbreaking their device is already included as basic functionality within Android.

LINK:Another article explaining Rooting from Android Authority

Does Rooting Void warranty?
For Samsung phones, it's a yes and no answer. From the terms and conditions, rooting/flashing will void your warranty, but Samsung Malaysia is not strict about this. So far there have not been cases of Samsung rejecting rooted phones, but please be prudent and perform a Triangle Away counter reset and flash stock firmware before turning in your phone for warranty.

If you live in the USA, rooting (of phones only) is legal as proclaimed by the Librarian of Congress, so you shouldn't have any issues with warranty. The US legal system has not clearly defined what a "tablet" is, so you can't root tablets. We don't know the case for "phablets"

Can rooting damage your phone?
It is a one in a million chance. If you are afraid of this slim chance, don't root.
This usually happens due to PEBKAC issues. Therefore, if you are prone to PEBKAC, do not proceed. Please google PEBKAC for your OWN UNDERSTANDING AND PROTECTION.
If you do not suffer from PEBKAC, then please ensure 1 very important thing: your download is NOT corrupt. For Windows, use this tool: HashTab by implbits
Make sure that your file MD5 matches the one from the host site. If the MD5 matches, your download is clean, and you may proceed.

There may be cases where you will not have the MD5 from the host site. If that is the case, use this tool: http://www.7-zip.org/
Install it. Select default options, and then run "Test archive" from the right click menu. Passing the test will give you a good indication your download is not corrupt.

What is the Flash Counter and Triangle Away?
There is a counter in the phone that checks for flashing of custom ROMs. If you have flashed a custom kernel or ROM, the counter will increase. When you get into Download mode, it will show that the counter has increased. This tells Samsung that you have modified with your phone.
You can reset this counter by using Triangle Away.

What is this about "locked bootloaders" ?
As you have seen from the writeup above, the bootloader starts your device. In Samsung, it also contains some checking code to determine whether you have a modified recovery and/or kernel. However, Samsung did not lock down the bootloader. A locked down bootloader means you can't root, can't change recovery, kernel or ROM. We all fervently hope Samsung continues in this fine tradition.

Now, other manufacturers practice bootloader locking as a so-called "security measure" to protect, ostensibly, the user. See link above about why your phone is not rooted out of the box. Here is a link to a post by an XDA forumer about bootloaders for Samsung, HTC and Sony.

Also see this post (2013-03-08) by DooMLoRD, a recognized XDA developer, on his steps for unlocking the Sony bootloader. Warnings quoted from his post :

QUOTE

Quote:
For Xperia™ devices released 2013 or later (for example Xperia™ Z and Xperia™ ZL), the SD card of your device will be formatted and you will lose all content (for example photos, music, videos) when you unlock the boot loader.
DRM keys WILL be lost forever

So we should thank Samsung for being more mod-friendly than the other manufacturers.

Vox populi vox dei? Quot homines,tot sententiae All Stars 13,188 posts Joined: Dec 2011 From: 127.0.0.1	Useful Applications and Tutorials One piece of advice. PLEASE CHECK APP PERMISSIONS BEFORE INSTALLING. An app should not have permissions beyond what its stated functionality should be. For example, a Wallpaper app should have NO PERMISSIONS. A Launcher will naturally have access to permissions for Calling and SMS and Phone Hardware (vibrate settings etc). If you install MyHotSexyGirlLiveWallpaper with access to Calls, Network Status and SMS, then .... LINK:About Mobile Antivirus - 2013-04-18 Excerpt: QUOTE *Semantics of Fear* Applications claiming to be “antivirus” are merely detecting what has the potential to be malware, something that a developer of an application may have snuck into the software code that is meant to steal data or interact with the device in such a way as to cause it to send premium SMS messages at the victim’s expense. This is more correctly defined as being a Trojan or form of spyware, but given the years of conditioning by security firms “Virus” sounds a lot scarier. *Common Senseless* Although these detection capabilities may be marginally useful to the end user, they do not by any stretch of the imagination fit the definition of an “antivirus” or replace common sense – that is to say, being cautious about which applications you download and then carefully reviewing the permissions for each application if you do install it. *Does that “Barney Wallpaper” app you download really need access to your contacts, call history and location?* A link about the so-called "massive vulnerability on 99% of Androids" Keep your pants on: A reality check about this latest Android malware scare - 2013-07-08 Excerpt: QUOTE That's certainly the case with our latest doom and gloom story -- a fright-inducing app signature vulnerability brought into the public eye by a new security company called Bluebox (which, like almost every company that releases scary-sounding info about Android threats, is a business built around the sales of Android security software -- go figure). In the meantime, as is usually the case in these scenarios, there's absolutely no cause for alarm. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Whether you're surfing the Web on your PC or getting online from your phone, a little caution and some common sense will go a long way in keeping you safe from the big, bad virus monsters lurking around our virtual worlds. General Lists of apps For lots of Android Apps, please camp here: XDA:Android Development and Hacking > Android Software Development LINK:Here is another link - Makeuseof Best Android Apps Reddit has 2 megaposts listing apps created by devs on Reddit. You may sort by "New" for a better view: Reddit's Apps Repository Part 1 Reddit's Apps Repository Part 2 Another Reddit post listing "apps you can't live without" What are the apps that you discovered and now you can't live without it?

Ive been download wallpaper specially made for samsung note 2 (1920 x 1080) but no matter how i try i will never get to set the 'whole' pic as my wallpaper. It will come out 3 box (2 small and one 'big' in the middle) and it will require me to crop the pic by using the big box. Is there anything i can do about it? QUOTE(hooh888 @ May 28 2013, 04:59 PM) first of all, what launcher are you using? if you're using the stock touchwiz launcher, the wallpaper won't be scrollable or rotatable. if that's the case, the proper wallpaper size would be 720x1280. if you're using a launcher with scrolling wallpaper functionality, then i believe 1440x1280 is the ideal size. QUOTE(ThekidZ @ May 28 2013, 05:26 PM) Im using normal original touchwiz launcher. So means i have to get 720 x 1280 wallpaper to nicely fit to my phone right. Any recommended apps that allow me to download such sized wallpaper, cause the apps im using require me to slowly one by one look through the details to get the resolution. QUOTE(hooh888 @ May 28 2013, 05:29 PM) well usually i just go to google images and search whatever i want and add a '720x1280' at my search query. for instance, 'star wars wallpaper 720x1280'.

I believe if the res is 720x1280..u will get a smaller/sharper image instead of like mine which seems bit large..in theory that is..

Vox populi vox dei? Quot homines,tot sententiae All Stars 13,188 posts Joined: Dec 2011 From: 127.0.0.1	DEPARTMENT OF PARANOIA This section is for the paranoid / tinfoil hat types. I decided to provide this section after the revelation that the US NSA is collecting almost all voice, sms and internet data that passes within the US. The revelation occurred on 2013-06-05 after years of conspiracy theory speculation. NSA Prism: Why I'm boycotting US cloud tech - and you should too - 2013-06-08 » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « QUOTE Opinion So, America's National Security Agency has been tapping up US internet giants to gather information about foreigners online, allegedly sharing that data with Britain's GCHQ - and gobbling up details about US citizens' phone calls. When I was a kid my world was full of pro-America propaganda; I never once questioned American exceptionalism and I cheered for the "good guys" in red, white and blue. Somewhere along the way I became disillusioned with the US, but I'd always figured that a vague sense of unease and a few ethical qualms were as far as that disgruntlement would ever go. After the past month's privacy scandal after privacy scandal and liberty scandal after liberty scandal involving the NSA and the American administration, I'm rapidly moving from being "uncomfortable hosting my data in a US-controlled cloud" to "feeling ethically bound to vote with my wallet in order to send a message". While I do not believe in overarching conspiracies of evil, I do believe that the structure and format of the American political system has become so damaged that the corruption of some individuals in positions of power is inevitable. Transparency is virtually non-existent, accountability laughable and at the end of the day people unworthy of the power and responsibility they obtain are repeatedly given absolute control over the lives of millions: let's not forget that the US Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act forces internet giants to share their users' data with government agents and forbids those companies from talking about it. For all that I am frequently accused of being "anti-American" I hold the US Constitution up as one of the most sacred documents ever written by mankind. (The United Nations Declaration of Human Rights would be the item I consider to be the single most important document in our history as a species.) The creation of the US Constitution was a symbol of a radically different way of thinking about our place in the world. Others had believed in the same ideals that were embedded in the Constitution long before the founding fathers, but none had ever made it stick. It was perhaps the most important turning point in the social evolution of our species since the development of agriculture. The Constitution of the United States of America is not a declaration of rights and freedoms granted to its citizens by the government. That document is a declaration of the limitations of powers granted to the government by the people that allow said government to exist. According to the founders of the US, rights are not something that natural persons are given; that which is given can be easily taken away. Rights are innate and inalienable. All human beings are born with them and they cannot be taken from us. Governments and businesses, however, have no rights which the people do not grant them. Governments and businesses exist at the sufferance of natural persons only, or at least such was the original grand design. In the intervening years since that document's creation the US has got itself all turned around and gone back to an attitude that the people exist only at the sufferance of the government - and all in the name of "freedom". Liberty versus freedom Allow me to expand on my thoughts for a moment and pull up the preamble of the US Constitution: "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." (My emphasis.) I have always maintained that there exists a distinction between "freedom" and "liberty", at least as words are used in the modern USA. Freedom has become closely tied to commerce and ultimately to property rights: freedom is wrapped up in the American psyche as a word tied to ownership of a home and the right to be king of one's own little castle. More commonly (especially in politics) it is the right of an individual to form a company and set rules within his company however he chooses. "Liberty" – a word very rarely used any more – seems to have largely retained its original meaning: the innate right of an individual to live life without interference. Liberty is the right to do, say, purchase, love, laugh, live, cry and whatever else they can think of as they see fit. This is the liberty of which the founding fathers spoke when writing the US Constitution. It is a word whose utterance – and certainly whose meaning – has all but vanished from modern American politics. This distinction is relevant to today's privacy, political targeting and "war on journalism" scandals because of the power that the word "freedom" has over the American people. Americans are willing to die for this word because they have been conditioned all their lives to do so. Somewhere along the way Americans - and frankly, I could argue this about the UK and a few other places as well - stopped asking if "freedom" still represents the belief we have all been raised to defend. Is the word as it is used by the politicians and corporations who wield so glibly truly still connected to our ideals? The dichotomy of liberty and freedom illustrates how over time the populace can be - and has been - manipulated to support an ideology antithetical to those who defend it. The behaviour of nations changed simply by redefining a word through its real-world use. While both concepts are used and abused with abandon, for the past thirty or so years, when liberty comes into conflict with freedom, freedom has won every time. How much that is a good or bad thing in your personal politics seems to depend entirely on whether or not you actually have any "freedom" to defend. Those with more to lose are far more willing to reduce the liberty of all in the vain hope of defending their monetisable assets. This is perhaps an explanation for why so many have come to associate freedom with "security at all costs". Nowhere is this more evident than in the words of politicians themselves. Representative Xavier Becerra (D-CA) crystalises the viewpoint evidenced by those governing the US over the past few decades in just a few words: "To me, what makes us such as great country, is that we cherish freedom so much. But you can't have freedom without security. So you have to find the balance." Some things are worth dying for "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." – Benjamin Franklin Canadians, for I am one, are viewed by the world as timid and meek. We cheekily disagree (usually via beer commercials) but our ancestors have bled and died fighting for what they believed in, the same as anyone else's. Many of those brave men and women sacrificed themselves for a dream given form by the American founding fathers. We have our own history – and we're damned proud of it, thank you very much – but the truth of the matter is that the entire Western world owes the very foundation of its modern beliefs to the US Constitution, in my opinion. Our place in the world, our relationship with our nation, the role of our government, military, law enforcement and intelligence services were informed by the belief in an inalienable personal liberty that said "governments are beholden to their people". Many of the laws of not only Canada but most of the Western world can be traced back to these beliefs. The definition of words changes over time, but when our ancestors died with the word freedom on their lips they did not mean "protection of material property and security theatre". They meant "the liberty of individuals to live the lives they choose free of interference". Look across dozens of nations and you will see a history of people fighting and dying for that same liberty, thousands of years before pen was put to paper to immortalise it. Liberty – ours and those of our loved ones – is not only worth dying for, it may well be one of the only things that is. When a country goes off the rails, why should we trust its computing systems? "You're not to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who says it." - Malcolm X As the US has spent the past 30 years going completely off the rails we've spent that same time becoming absolutely addicted to the technology and services it produces. So deeply embedded are we that disentangling ourselves from American technology providers, cloud vendors and what-have-you is a process of years, even decades. While undertaking this difficult, painful and expensive task may not be absolutely required for pragmatic business reasons, I argue that it is a moral and ethical obligation we collectively bear to defend that which we believe. We could simply remain apathetic and allow privacy to evaporate as our laws are synchronized with those of the US, but it that what we want to have occur? No terrorist actions, war, trade sanctions, international politics or other traditional tools of revolution and statecraft will turn America around. Americans have so deeply forgotten the concept of "liberty" that they no longer speak of their freedoms as innate but rather as rights granted them by their government. They see themselves as helpless before an unstoppable and inscrutable juggernaut and their own belief in this makes it so. Her people having abdicated their duty of care. America is a country entirely run by politicians and civil servants with no oversight except in pleasing donors, and no master but the almighty dollar. The only sound that those in charge are capable of hearing is that of a closing wallet. Our addiction to US technology and services leaves us vulnerable to the whims of those who make the laws. For those of us from countries that still believe in the ideals our ancestors died for this is a problem. As business owners we have a duty of care to our customers and employees to treat their data and privacy with respect. We are still expected to defend their liberty as if it were our own. We can not do this if that data ever comes within legal reach of the USA. Foreigners have no right to privacy within the US; indeed, we've even lost the right to habeas corpus there. We cannot lobby for change because the American lobby machine is so huge that it would take all of our nations combined to even make a dent; a political impossibility, if the European Union's influence is anything to go by. Instead, US industry has spent incomprehensible amounts of money lobbying our governments to seize our rights from us! Abort, retry, fail? "Never do anything against conscience even if the state demands it." - Albert Einstein To effect change we are left with a boycott in everything but name. It means that non-US Western businesses need to start using "not subject to US law" as a marketing point. We need cloud providers and software vendors that don't have a US presence, no US data centers, no US employees - no legal attack surface in that nation of any kind. Perhaps most critical of all, we need a non-American credit-card company. If enough of us start to pull our technology purchases out of the US they will indeed sit up and take notice; money leaving the country may well be one of the only things that will ever cause them to do so. America still believes in its own manifest destiny; the problem is that it has lost its way and the very values it seeks to export to the rest of the world have become corrupt. I do not want the legal solution to the Western world's US privacy and liberty dichotomy to be the export of America's neo-Orwellian panopticon. (If you are Australian or Canadian you can download 1984 for a reminder here.) We can no longer afford to allow apathy to direct our judgement. We must show our governments that we stand behind them; that we believe in privacy and personal liberty enough to invest only in privacy-bloc countries. Through our actions – which can be as simple as choosing which cloud vendor you use for e-mail – we need to give our nations a sense of international unity and the strength of will to stand up to American negotiators and say "hold, enough!" The power to quite literally change the world rests not in the hands of the unknowable, inscrutable government suit that negotiates agreements in secrecy on your behalf. That power belongs to each and every one of us expressed through something as simple as where we choose to invest the money we spend. I believe it is our duty to choose wisely and to make those choices based on more than mere pragmatism. If you know of any providers of internet services who have – deliberately or accidentally – created a business free of American legal encumbrances, please, leave a note in the comments. The ability to choose differently starts with knowledge and we might as well start building that list here. ® Android Permissions: Permissively Insecure? - 2013-06-08 » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « QUOTE Android, as an operating system, is fairly unique in that it makes users aware of the permissions available to apps in a fairly transparent way. Compared to Blackberry or iOS, which issue granular prompts such as “Can Angry Birds access your location?” or “Can Instagram access your camera to take photos?” There is a somewhat subtle difference here: The rivals give the user a choice about these requests. Jump over to Android where, after installing an app, it has free reign to use every permission you agreed to. While this doesn’t sound an issue, let’s take a look at the Play Store. Let’s look at a nice, popular app (for better or for worse): Facebook. The Facebook app has permissions to: ★ Create accounts and set passwords for those accounts, and add or remove accounts - this allows Facebook to store its account login using the AccountManager, and is good to see ★ access your accurate (GPS) location and network location - this is to allow for geo-tagging of posts and status updates, which some people might want, but others may be very against. More on this later. ★ full network access - Google lacks a way to give an app selective internet access, so this is needed, much as it might be nice to limit the remote servers an app can communicate with ★ directly call phone numbers - I confess to not researching this one – I am fairly sure Facebook lets you tap a phone icon to call someone. Would it really be so bad to just let you confirm you want to call, and avoid this permission? How long until we see profiles listing premium rate numbers as their phone number? ★ read your phone status and identity - This one is a privacy stealer – while allowing an app to tell if a call is active or not, it also is fairly invasive, allowing an app to obtain your phone number, IMEI, IMSI, device ID (etc), and if you are on a call, the phone number you are connected to! ★ read to and write from USB storage devices - Perhaps this is for caching of files, but maybe a tad excessive? ★ install shortcuts on your homescreen without user interaction - Not sure when this is used, but the permission is there, so it might like to self-promote Facebook services? ★ read your detailed battery statistics - As described in the descriptions, this gives low-level battery use data, and can allow the app to find out what other applications you use. ★ see what other apps are running - Likely for the Facebook Home feature, again allows Facebook to see what apps are running ★ take photos and videos at any time without prompting - Rather concerning, allows the Facebook app to take photos or videos whenever it wants, without prompting or alerting you ★ draw over other applications – Likely for the Chat Heads feature of messenger, although why that’s not a permission in the messenger app is a good question Getting tired and out of breath yet? It’s not over yet though! Facebook can also: ★ write to your call log - Why? Just why? This allows for call log erasing and writing ★ read from your call log – and thus see all the calls you have made, and when, and for how long, and who they were to ★ read your contacts - while useful if you sync Facebook contacts, many people don’t want Facebook to have full reign over their contacts ★ write to your contacts - pretty much as above What is perhaps most disconcerting is that while Google acknowledges openly the risks in each permission (I suggest you take a read at the detailed description of some of the permissions on a Play Store listing), the company takes no steps to help you with this. Thus, the entire Android ecosystem is built around you trusting the developer to play fair, and not do anything dodgy. Unfortunately. This. Doesn’t. Happen. It really seems clear that many app developers just DO NOT UNDERSTAND SECURITY. Full stop. And while I might be unique in my recommendation (which I firmly believe is warranted in this day and age given recent information revealing the extent of mass surveillance that is ongoing) to trust nobody, not even yourself. For this reason, I suggest the Android permissions system is totally flawed, in relying on developers to not abuse permissions, and not request excessive permissions. How many torch apps on Android have more than the required camera permission (to enable the camera)? I’d suggest most do, feel free to take a look! You’d think the Android community would rally against such behaviou, but it’s reached a point where it is acceptable for developers to declare a need for excessively gratuitous permissions in order to use their apps. What happened to user choice? I then was pointed towards this post on G+ by Steve Kondik (XDA Recognized Developer cyanogen), which I read with much dismay. While I do not use G+ (closed platform, requiring far too much data to be disclosed to Google), I would suggest that with respect, the need for user privacy and security MUST come first, as it’s clear app developers cannot “do” security. Perhaps if Google introduced zero tolerance for moronic errors in security (plaintext passwords, gathering contacts data, obtaining device IDs that are not hashed suitably with a cryptographic hash etc), it might offer an incentive to consider security? Given many users (wrongly) reuse passwords between services, the sending of plaintext passwords should be sufficient, in this author’s opinion, to justify immediate removal of all of a developer’s apps from the Play Store, forever. Some people just don’t know how to do security. And for them, I sigh. Users deserve security, and privacy, and unless you go ahead and look at the OpenPDroid project on XDA (which I strongly suggest you check out), you are pretty much being abandoned by even the leader of CyanogenMod. While I appreciate his concerns for app developers, it is simply inexcusable to not look into fixing the glaring hole that is contacts access. This is 2013, the era of social engineering, and I cannot choose selectively which apps see which contacts in my address book? REALLY? Something needs to happen here, before people wake up and smell the coffee, and realize this isn’t sustainable. It’s time users became more aware about what apps are doing, and the extent of data mining that is ongoing. It’s your data, and it should be entirely your choice who gets it. You shouldn’t have to avoid an app because you don’t like the look of its permissions; you should be able to (whether as stock Google feature, or custom ROM feature) be able to selectively decline to allow an app to access your data. And this should be done gracefully, either providing empty data (for contacts, or similar), or null data (i.e. requesting phone number or IMEI should return the same response as a tablet lacking these identifiers). Is it right to deny your users the choice, to make life “easier” for app developers? (arguably to allow them to capture user data more easily) I argue it’s not, and it’s time the Android community unites to put an end to apps having free reign over YOUR data. If this concerns you, why not check out the aforementioned OpenPDroid (and similar) projects on XDA, and see if you can help out, or test, or contribute to the cause?

The legislation was approved by Congress in 2007 that allowed warrantless interception of foreign-to-foreign communications. The program is intended for use as a counter-terrorism tool that allows US authorities to access data and information belonging to suspects that they believe pose a threat to US national security. Both the Washington Post and Guardian claim that the NSA has “direct” access to the system belonging to nine Internet companies, in order to monitor data. That information was required in order to “effectively plan, direct and conduct detection and monitoring of illegal narcoterrorist activities”, as highlighted in a past job opening. The companies from which data is gathered include: Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Facebook, PalTalk, YouTube, Skype, AOL and Apple. Other services including — Dropbox — were reportedly set to be added to the roster. Controversy around the program circles around whether the tech firms were silently complicit with the monitoring, and whether PRISM monitored US citizens illegally (without warrants.) The Guardian states that the method of monitoring traffic “opens the possibility” of collecting US data without warrants. The Post looks at that issue in more detail, concluding that the data capturers are “at least 51 percent confident” that a target is foreign. That, it concludes, means substantial amounts of “incidental” US data could be captured — but the issue is dismissed in NSA training manuals dismiss as being “nothing to worry about”. The Post says that “a career intelligence officer” leaked the slides because he believes the agency’s role to be a “gross intrusion on privacy”. The anonymous source added: “They quite literally can watch your ideas form as you type.” Unanswered questions There are numerous questions remaining unanswered at this point, chiefly: All but two firms have denied actively participating in the program, suggesting that the NSA may be filtering and monitoring traffic independently. Both the Guardian and Post implicated the firms as willingly co-operating and opting into the program, so any fact that disproves that would be hugely significant. Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Facebook, YouTube, Skype and Apple have all refuted their involvement in the program, and denied knowledge of it. A number of the companies stipulated that they don’t provide “direct” access to their systems, which raises the possibility that the NSA may have ‘indirect’ access, perhaps via an API, which would suggest the firms cooperated. The Washington Post has since backed down on its initial claim that tech companies “participate knowingly” in PRISM data collection. Despite these denials it is important to consider that the NSA would not have released details of the program name to Internet companies, as ACLU analyst Christopher Soghoian points out. Furthermore, those who receive national security letters are prevented by law from discussing their existence in public. A statement from James R. Clapper, Director of National Intelligence, claimed the Guardian and Post reports both “contained numerous inaccuracies”. Clapper categorically denied that PRISM spies on US citizens, but he did not elaborate on the other alleged details that were misreported. That leaves the same questions unanswered.

Google+ post by Steve Kondik <=cyanogen of CyanogenMod on CM and privacy - 2013-05-30 » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « QUOTE Steve Kondik Shared publicly - May 30, 2013 Security, Privacy, and CM I've been using +Project Glass for almost two weeks now and thinking a lot about new use cases and applications for the device. Pretty quickly, the really interesting applications bang up against privacy issues. I'll save that for another post. Right now I want to talk about privacy issues in CM, Android, and mobile in general. This morning, I closed CYAN-28 with "Won't Fix". This issue was created to bring back the "revoke app permissions" feature that was present in CM7 and hasn't been back since. It quickly devolved into psychosis and anonymous users telling me that we should "screw the developers". Someone also asked me to bring it to a more public forum, so challenge accepted. Why did we drop this feature? In it's current state, the UX was awful. It was easy to wander into these settings and break things in weird ways that were not obvious at all. The code that was invoked when a permission was revoked would usually just cause the application to crash- if an app asked for your contacts, the framework would say no, and the app would force close. So a solution was implemented which implemented "spoofing". This would send garbage contacts or other bogus/blank data to an application which requested it. Also implemented was spoofing of other identifying data about the device such as IMEI. I rejected these patches since they create a hostile environment for applications, and that's not the direction I want to see CM go. My reasoning was confirmed when word of these patches showed up on the blogs and I immediately received quite a bit of backlash from developers who don't want their apps running in unpredictable environments. Proponents of the patches say that CM isn't looking out for the users. I think these patches are just more security theater and don't really solve a problem. Why do you want to run malicious applications anyway? I want CM to be a good citizen of the mobile ecosystem. I also want our users to have the best protection against malicious applications, exploits, and data leakage. We have been pretty awesome at both, and I'm not willing to compromise one for the other. Don't break apps, don't get pwned- these are fundamental concepts for CM. Pretty straightforward. Having app developers pissed off at CM and blacklisting us because their app is crashing is crazy ways due to half-baked features like this is not a good thing. There are a number of users who really want anonymity. I do too in a lot of cases. We shouldn't solve this by using a giant sledgehammer like data spoofing or code injection into apps or the framework. There is a lot of research in this space, but not a lot of it has boiled down to solutions which are useful to the end user. We need to consider the use cases and create things that actually solve the problems. On the JIRA issue, I suggested a fork of CM which was heavily privacy-focused and maybe would contain these sledgehammers. That would be great for users in this mindset, but I want the features we include in CM to be useful to a broader audience. One of the things that CM can do, is build new platform APIs which can be used by applications to do interesting things. We can even build APIs for hugely dangerous things if done correctly. A good example is Android's VPN API. This essentially lets you write an app that can read every single packet of data that flows thru the device. Very powerful. The key here is that not only must the permission be declared, but the user must manually OK this action the first time one of these APIs are used. There's no chance for a casual user to totally break their system if it's done right. For starters, we need an API that lets an application (after manual user consent) manage the IPTables rules on the device. This is insanely powerful, and would enable an entirely new class of applications that can enable transparent proxies, Tor, general firewall rules, traffic shaping, and packet inspection. Could we build something that actually detected packets of data flowing to another country which contained all of your contact data, and notify the user and block the connection if desired? This would be a great thing for CM to have. What about messaging services? TextSecure is pretty awesome. MMS (and Google Talk, and just about every messaging service) isn't peer-to-peer, there is an intermediate step. Your MMS might go over an encrypted connection to your carrier and back out to the recipient over an encrypted connection, but while it's at your carrier it's subject to data mining, secret agents, disgruntled employees, and the NSA. Support for messaging that includes crypto handled only by the sender/recipient with no middleman would be pretty awesome. SELinux seems to be coming soon in Android, and enables a bunch of awesome auditing capabilities. I'd love to hear more ideas and maybe we can build them. How can we really improve security and the user experience without a bunch of smoke and mirrors? Trolling, invoking Godwin's Law, rehashing the stats issue, and general douchebaggery in the comments will get you instantly blocked. This post has been edited by joytest: Nov 30 2013, 01:35 AM

I have a thing for statistics, so I've made this table for my own viewing pleasure. Others may also find it useful, educational or entertaining.

Legend:
Version is self explanatory.
Started is the Start date of the thread, and Ended is the day the thread was closed. All formats are YYYY-MM-DD.
Total Days counts the total number of days between the start and end days of a thread.
Total Posts is self explanatory.
Total Views is an incremental number tracked by LYN whenever someone views a thread, so even though the thread is closed, if someone views it, the number will still increment.

Hence the Statistic Last Retrieved column shows when the Total Views number was logged.

Otherwise flash a custom ROM with Note 3 features. I'm using Ditto Note 3 and it's good enough of a Note 3 clone for me. See v27 posts from chuahcs79, he flashed a lot of ROMs in the last 20 pages. So has jun88.

My bad... after trying out Dasko version, I find that it lack Handwriting settings. So you need to do it manually if you wanted to. First, goto Application Manager, clear cache and data for Samsung Keyboard and Resources Manager. Then replace the :- 1. Samsung IME apk in /system/app 2. libloadstyluscore.so in /system/lib 3. libstyluscore.so in /system/vodb/lib With the one extracted from v3... then you will get setting for Handwriting and gestures. Remember to change permission to RWRR. Reboot. If you dont need them, then just flash Dasko version.

Personally, after having 2 iPads, 1 iPhone5, Note1&2, 2 Nexus 10, I do feel a bit boring with all. Even go a 808 for camera purpose. Wanna give WP a try. I was hardly impressed back then with Lumia 800 but now maybe can give a shot

MIUI is based on which android version? 4.3? this is not TW based rom right? So how is the performance on battery life?

The Dev community is still quite active and the device itself still has respectable specs so it's still a great buy, especially at today's prices. Besides, if you want that awesome SPen experience on a phone, there's not much else to choose from anyway right? Finally, we don't get Knox out of the box so that's another plus if you plan to hack your device to death. This post has been edited by Eiraku: Nov 30 2013, 08:54 PM

Just hope I dont fall behind that much xD Seriously, Note 2, apart from the CPU and GPU, has everything else the same as any flagship from late last year.....which is 2Gb of RAM. Even current flagships from Sony, HTC and others are maxing out at 2Gb, so this is the minimum threshold of acceptable RAM for some longevity yet. Heck even Chromebooks are shipping with just 2Gb of RAM. As to the CPU and GPU, you can do anything you want except maybe run 30fps+ for the new triangle heavy games. The best upside of the Note 2 is I feel it is the last, great, non-Nexus modding device. At last count, over 100 ROMs, with about 30+ still in active development. Even the Note 1 has gotten 4.3 and 4.4 support. Which is why I decided to keep my Note 2. All contemporary phones are coming with increasing lockdown by the manufacturers, and it's taking the fun out of owning a device that you can hack and mod.

His rom no more development from now, so i better move to DN3.1. Feedback here quite good from chuahcs79 This post has been edited by gin&tonic: Dec 2 2013, 08:47 AM

But Dr.KetanRom is invidivual work with help from his friends, while DN3 v.3.1.1 is from a team work (Electron Team) so you can see the testing etc is well done in DN3

Just wiping Dalvik and Cache could not get past boot screen. I'm still on MF2 bootloader so I had to flash in Dr. Ketan's wifi patch. Everything seems working. Have to try the Screen Mirroring later today. To also flash the OTA patch as well and see how it goes.

Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 7,044 posts Joined: Nov 2007	here's something to think about when it comes to custom roms, especially those with Note 3 features. in a way, one can say these ROMS are infringing on copyright by providing these features. some of these features may actually be copyrighted/ patented (be thankful we're not talking about fruit company that practically patent anything and everything). if they are not 'featured' in any official stock Note 2 ROMS, then by adding these into the ROMS... you get what i mean, right? i mean... when we expand this further, we'll end up with people putting stuff like Asphalt, Final Fantasy, etc into their ROM -- maybe just because they like it. no doubt these Note 3 features are 'made by Samsung', but technically, unless they said its OK (or by bundling it with Note 2), otherwise, it can be considered piracy, no? wow... heavy stuff to start the week...?

Ah well M$ is of course a completely different story. It's about the terms of license and for a rom the TOS is probably not enforced. Nobody's stopping you from using other products with less restrictive licensing terms.

Geeking since 1985! Senior Member 7,037 posts Joined: Apr 2006	About current QI mats, most of them charge slow. I mean REAL SLOW. So, is the convenience of wireless charging is worth the 3x increase in charge time compared to a wired charger? I'm really not sure if wireless can do 2A charging. For one I haven't seen any of the more "branded" mats doing it, so that's that. For the whole Note 3 stuff in N2 infringing trade rights (or sumthin), OF BLOODY COURSELAH. Unless Sammy intentionally updates our N2s with N3 features, we're pretty much stealing N3 features. It gets complicated when you consider that Android stuff is pretty much FOSS in one way or another, but a lot of the code base is pure Sammy. So yeah, we're pretty much jack sparrowing their stuff. But at least it's a Sammy to Sammy transplant - porting over the LG Camera or Sony Launcher or Whoever's Whatever is even worse (as per what ant00 said). But it's free stuff to begin with, right? So it's like, not entirely piracy. Or sumthin. That said, it ain't wrong until someone says it's wrong, so why bother cracking your head about it? It's not like you're aiming to intentionally side load paid APKs (which comes with a free holiday trip package to Tora Bora courtesy of the Staff lol). Anyway, I found a GREAT case for the N2 over the weekend: A case that's a clone for a case that was never actually made, the N2 Neo Hybrid. Which is a crying same really, the N2 could use a proper Neo Hybrid. I got the clone for peanuts and it's actually made quite well so no complaints here.

Geeking since 1985! Senior Member 7,037 posts Joined: Apr 2006	Wait, did SGP officially sell the N2 Neo Hybrid to begin with? I know they made the Slim Armor but that's about it (even that one I could only find the Korean version with dat bloody antenna hole). The ONLY NHs I've seen for the N2 are clones and so I assumed that they never made an "Ori" one for the N2. I know for sure that SGP had an Ori S3 NH - I even got one from the initial release batch for that (with the infamous button problems and all). Compared to that one, the N2 clone NH (which shares the same design) is at least 90% as good, and even comes with fully working buttons. This post has been edited by Eiraku: Dec 2 2013, 05:13 PM

I got 2 of the LG WCP300 and 2 receiving coils. Haven't used it much since it needs a naked phone to work. i think it needs maximum 6mm space, which cannot fit your giant monstrosity

兩支湯匙一個碗 Senior Member 2,553 posts Joined: May 2013 From: Joined: Jan 2001	On Lion's ROM 4.3 now on my N7105. Forced to use Devil Kernel, battery life is devastating. • Can't undervolt much, or will freeze, and a battery pull is required • Pegasus governor activates all cores, bad battery life (good performance) • Using hotplug governors like Devilq and tweak it according to my Stweaks preference on Perseus kernel will cause the entire phone to LAG (800MHz, Single core) Since battery life is my sole consideration, should I revert back to 4.1.2 + Perseus Kernel before I head to Bangkok?

If new, you might need to swap out for a newer SIM, those that are pre-fabbed as a mini/micro SIM. At worst you have a faulty SIM module that will need a trip to the SC.

I think ES file explorer has an ftp option which allows other devices to access. I also hope you are not confusing "open source" with "gratis". Open source gives you freedom first. "Free" as in "gratis" is optional but usually comes together.

So now sticking to V3.1 until there is a V4 or higher with more features.

Just google "GemRB for android". It should come with instructions, applicable for any android device. Anyways, I got bored so I went out and got a new BT keyboard: The Rapoo E6500, quite possibly the smallest, thinnest BT keyboard that is ACTUALLY usable for touch-typing (at least for me). While it's a tad cramped, the typing feedback is miles better than the mushy Apple Wireless for sure (and of course better than all those mushy rubbery cheapo bt keyboards). Plus it comes with android shortcuts for nearly everything. Plus it works perfect with my MI6 4.3 Samsung Keyboard, which automagically hides when a BT keyboard is connected. For something below RM100, I'm completely happy. Minuses? Well for one, it looks like a re-purposed laptop keyboard so if you're rough with it, keys WILL drop off. It also doesn't come with any cover, so you need to get a pouch for it for sure. Finally, I'd rather it use AAA batteries rather than the built in Li-Ion it has, but than it would be thicker of course. This post has been edited by Eiraku: Dec 6 2013, 09:31 PM

If you came across decent bluetooth keyboard with touchpad, let me know too. Interested to get one for my Acer W4. Having used the tiny Vaio W keyboard for long extended periods, I actually got used to the Rapoo Mini very quickly. Due to the (much) better feedback and typing feel, I can type faster on it compared to the Apple Wireless. For now, it's the smallest keyboard I know I can be fairly productive on, just a bonus that it's considerably cheaper than the nearest alternatives: The rare Thinkoutside foldable and the yet to be shipped Jorno . As for a padded keyboard, I haven't seen any that looks useful enough for actual work, right now the BT KB + Mouse combo is still the best way to go. They have a slightly larger Rapoo BT on sale too, but for best compatibility with the W4, best way to go IMHO is the Microsoft Wedge Mobile KB + the tiny Wedge mouse. All that said, how's the W4? I'm pretty interested in it, just wondering how the battery life is. This post has been edited by Eiraku: Dec 7 2013, 05:24 PM

RM899 + RM60 to extend to 3 years warranty. They dont have the keyboard just yet, and Im looking for one that came with a touchpad so that I can do some simple autocad on the go. I think quite fun to use, although sometimes was held back by how MS restrict the access to change some Windows/App setting through the Metro UI. Therefore have to dug deep into the Apps or Control Panel for a quick fix. Its only 720P which makes up 189PPI therefore its not the easiest to get around in Desktop mode, with only capacitive touch. There are also some weird stuffs like the IE in Metro UI dont support Flash, and you need to use the Desktop mode IE in order for Flash to work. But when you use the desktop mode IE, you lose things like the auto keyboard popup when you tap to type. Have to bring the keyboard up manually. So it was half fun, half annoying really. Still trying to get used to it, especially haf to hard wire the thought that the Start Menu icons dont really work as Start Menu anymore and to get to the real Start Menu, you have to swipe to the end of Metro UI and press the down icon to see the list of apps installed. I think someone should launch a 8inch Transformer. Its desireable but Win 8.1 still have a long way to go. Of course, the real attractiveness of this device is how they are making any profit if any, when the OS and Office alone cost almost half of the selling price.

Vox populi vox dei? Quot homines,tot sententiae All Stars 13,188 posts Joined: Dec 2011 From: 127.0.0.1	A very good post and I completely agree with the author Has Technology Become a Disposable Commodity? http://www.xda-developers.com/android/has-...able-commodity/ No longer are devices durable. Rather, they have gone entirely to the other end of the spectrum and have become practically disposable. I simply cannot believe that a $500-1000 USD item becomes “irreparable.” Product design basics dictate that any engineered product is designed to have a certain life expectancy under normal conditions, tear, and wear, and even leave some leeway for accidents. If products need repair, they should be perfectly serviceable by the manufacturer without having to charge the consumer exorbitant amounts of money to get the product back in working order. ............. Make the world a better place through the application of science? That is what product engineering should be about. Squeezing every last drop of sweat over your own design and making sure that you put your very best efforts into making something that people will have for years (not months) to come is what every engineering company should strive for. Unfortunately, this was quickly replaced with “ooh, look how shiny this new toy is,” which is then followed by “oh, your old one? pfft That is so 3 months ago…. you won’t get two pennies for it on eBay, and don’t even think about repairing it.” We as consumers have allowed these companies to throw basic engineering practices out the window so that they can squeeze more juice out of us. .... If I have to choose between a phone that is 0.0001 mm thick but that will break upon looking at it without any way to fix it or my old 5110, I’ll take my old Nokia any day of the week. At least, that has engineering at heart.

Don't think it's an issue with the charging pad, but perhaps the receiving coil and how the phone controls the current. I don't know how that behaves. I tried a no-wipe flash from v1, won't get past boot screen. You could try a no-wipe from v2 and see.

But now, much like everyone else I'm pretty much spoiled by GUI, especially on a device I use 90% of the time, and especially when nearly everything I need to do is already well served with android native apps.

Bad news is, AromaFM isn't working. So, without a working recovery file manager I had to go back to TWRP. Plus the more flexible GUI in TWRP has been spoiling me somewhat lately anyway.

I wonder if we could just flash it as well despite the region? Would it brick or cause loads of FCs?

They r not the only reseller , most shops in LYP r also resellers but if u take back to them , they will ask u to go directly since it's faster . UNLESS it's not by Vector Digital , warranty is then by the shop . Just keep your packing , there's a Vector Digital Logo on it which is used by them to verify your warranty . No need record or whatever la . I claimed my Sg Sandisk purchased using my locally bought Vector Digitial box b4 also .

What I asked joytest was, is it possible to install custom fonts in the Note 2 running on DN3 ROM? Previously when I was on stock ROM (rooted), I downloaded a bunch of flipfonts (all in .apk) and after installing, I was able to use it. Now when I try, I'll get an error. It installs ok, but when I choose that newly installed font, I got an error saying that it's not compatible Also, I wonder if there's a way to install the KitKat font on the Note 2. I found a thread in XDA, and was wondering if anyone tried this. Thanks all.

Hello, is it me you're looking for? Senior Member 1,150 posts Joined: Oct 2009 From: KBR-BKI	I'm experiencing some weird issue. My phone capacitative button and home buttons sometimes stopped working randomly. Happened 3 times already, it detects my input for capacitative button since there is haptic feedback every time I touch it. It's just that my phone doesn't give a f**k whenever I press it. Power and volume button are fine though. Everything went back to normal if I restart my phone. Can anyone point me if this is a hardware or software problem? I'm on DN3 btw. Will try and do clean reflash this weekend

Better ask bomoh or ask samsung themselves. You got 3 options. 1. Flash firmware from other countries that received their update. 2. Flash custom rom. 3. Call samsung and force them to roll the update immediately.

Both are good devices. I tested the Mate briefly and found the display a bit brighter than the note2. Note2 will have more accessory choices and custom rom development support on xda and you might want to try that one day. Perhaps Mate could have custom roms on Chinese forums but I don't know. At least Note2 has gotten 4.3 now.

Note 2, if not just for the S-Pen. Alternatively, the Asus Phonepad 6, as it's like the ONLY other thing with an active stylus. Doesn't have a removable battery but comes with a nice bright FHD screen though. This post has been edited by Eiraku: Dec 13 2013, 02:10 AM

Since you seem pretty savvy on stuff like this, I'd like to ask if Intel based SoCs are harder to root? I haven't been looking at the overall landscape for awhile, although I'm under the impression that Intel SoCs are locked down tighter than Qualcomm.

I haven't been looking at the overall landscape for awhile, although I'm under the impression that Intel SoCs are locked down tighter than Qualcomm. IINM it's awfully device specific. Even if the chips themselves have exploitable vulnerabilities, some vendors lock it down anyway. So in the end it depends on which Intel SoC on which phone. But in general terms, ARM based stuff seem far easier to root than x86, even if it's just because there's more ARM based devices for people to crack out there compared to x86 ones, so more vulnerabilities are uncovered for ARM chips for root exploits. But considering that root relies more on security holes in software rather than hardware (except in certain cases where the software is bulletproof), it goes back to "which device" rather quickly. As long as enough users use the device, it should be rooted plenty quickly, Intel or otherwise. IINM anyway. This post has been edited by Eiraku: Dec 13 2013, 03:37 AM

Everyone's setup is different after all, so it's a question only you can answer. Maybe it's just a matter of getting another version (new shift placement) or maybe even an upgrade to a "pro" version. Or maybe you even need to replace the app with something else entirely. It's a very subjective thing after all. But sometimes it helps to freeze your app in TiBu (take a long holiday) so that you can reassess what you want from your app and what you need to do to get there. IMHO, anyway, but I understand it isn't that easy to freeze apps, especially not one you use every day. Just something to consider if you're THAT worried about battery life, anyway.

Anyway, I think I have found a way to "mitigate" the loss of G-accounts issue for those still having it (mostly people still on MI6, like me). I find that while flashing the zip on the "loss of account fix" thread helps, the moment Google updates play store it starts happening again. How to fix? Go to TiBu and search for "play". Than choose "Integrate updates into ROM" from the long click menu (for both play store and play framework), and IMMEDIATELY restart. Ignore any funky errors or FCs that will (undoubtedly) happen when you "intergrate" both apps. That should fix it, at least until Google updates play store again, in which case you might need to repeat the above. It just makes everything worse that play updates happen so blardy quietly though.

The screen is horrible. Would warranty cover this? Also, i bought mine from Digi, what i remember is, right after i got the phone i was brought to a table where this insurance guy from mobicom or something had me subscribe for a 1 month free trial etc. I never canceled it, despite not wanting the insurance. Anybody knows how should i contact them? thanks.
