Those codes don't work when you're not stock or on a stock-based rom.

So, if the "HIDDEN" menu appears, but does nothing when I tap it, it's not working?

Go to your browser and type "about:debug" without the quotes and press enter. Then press your menu button and go to settings. Scroll all the way down and enable it, then load up any page and rotate your screen.

The rotation animation:
It went *okay*....;-)
What interests me more is that apparently, we've had a built-in screen-capture function that wasn't enabled by default. (It works perfectly, FYI, in the same settings menu.)

haha really? Man..I wonder what else is in there. I just went there to see if I could disable the text reflow. I hate that reflow with a passion!
Didnt know this either but that rotation sucks. It over rotates then realigns itself.

Motorola phones with the Gingerbread update do it correctly (ie Photon 4G, Droid X, etc).

Its not that you have to be rooted to use the menu button. Its just that the sense launcher i.e. Rosie.apk, doesn't have the menu button unlocked on stock. Really no need for it. So you have to edit the apk to use it on home screen.

[Q] Reprogram "Recent Apps" button

I've done a bunch of searching but haven't found an answer yet. Is there a way to remap the recent apps button to be a menu button? And long press for recent apps? I am stock, s-off, rooted, if that matters. Thanks!
Settings, display gestures buttons, recent apps. You can change it there

It is a recent apps button, not a menu button.
Op, mist roms allow you to change it, but you can't on stock.

Just get a new launcher from Market.
Its easier (and more safe) than mucking around with the stock one.
I know Holo Launcher Pro (HD as widgets, also my all-time favorite launcher for some reason) has the ability to rename drawer tabs, and load either most recent, most frequent, widgets, and custom list in them.
I am sure that there are other launchers that do the same.
If you want to change anything in the stock launcher, you must have root privleges.
Use at your own risk. Havent ever modded a launcher before, only other apps.
Copy the apk to another location (and make a backup if anything goes wrong).
Change the extension to .zip
Explore the zip, and modify anything that looks safe to change.
If you are brave enough, rename the extension to .apk again, and place it back in the "system/app" directory.
Reboot the phone if nessisary.
Use at your own risk.
Please thank me if you found this useful.

Many roms now support this feature and there is also a mod that when you flash it, it will enable this feature.

[How To] Enable Hidden Menu

I'm not sure if this is posted anywhere or if I'm placing it in the right section. Sorry if not...
To enable the hidden menu on Verizon Note 2:
- Install apk here: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/38150-enable-hidden-menu-and-dialer-codes/
- Open the app
- Press the menu button
- Press the black text at the bottom of the screen that pops up
- Select enable
- Do one of two things: 1) press the Launch Hidden Settings button or 2) exit out and use the codes through the dialer...such as *#0*# http://www.androidcentral.com/how-uncover-and-use-hidden-service-menu-galaxy-s3
Cheers!

I dunno
It is good for forcing your phone into lte only mode. The only time it works for me thoigh is with the dialers. The apk never would. Now I have the hidden menu stored as a contact number. I just dial myy contact name, and jump right into hidden menus. It saves me havong to remember it all the time.
"One small step for man, One giant leap for mankind" said anyone who has tried Moon Rom
Dialer Codes
Could you post some dialer codes that would be useful for the VZW Note 2?
3G/4G/Hidden menu without root
no need for any app,
just use *#22745927 on dialer, then enable hidden menu from the next screen and then use the following codes to change whatever u wish
*#197328640# Service Mode
*#0228# BatteryStatus
*#0*# Screen/Sensor/Vibration/Touch/Speaker/LED/etc testing -- even gives out raw values for light sensor, barometer, etc in real time
*#2263 RF Band Selection
*#66336 MDM Randump Mode (defaults to OFF)
for LTE only or 3G only Edge only without rebooting device, download the app phoneutil .....http://mirror20.downloadandroidrom.com/download/apk/utility/phoneutil.apk?token=662111735
works like charm

sim card apn/mms settings issue???

ok i have done a TON of research but have yet to get the issue resolved. as we all know it has been well documented that the dna has issues with getting mms to work with an att sim card. hoiwever, i did speak with att and they said that my sim card COULD be the issue. something about it being a 3g card and the stream of #'s is not compatible?
think thats possible?
anyone else have any luck with changing the sim card out?
ill go out on a limb and ask if anyone has the correct apn or mms settings. i can get internet but the dreaded mms is a no go. i did manage to get ONE mms to come thrrough on my phone but i have a feeling it was a fluke. also that was multiple days and tries ago.
id hate to part with such an awesome device but i do need mms...
any help would be awesome!
Have you tried another texting app? Go sms seemed to send and recieve mms for me.

i did download the gosms app. however, i couldnt find where to put the mms settings in. is there a how to for that? im willing to give it another go.
Here is how you get to the mms settings in go sms. Just get to the menu in the app and follow the pictures I have attached. Then fill in the correct apn settings and make sure they save and it should work. (I don't know the apn settings for AT&T but I'm sure if you Google it or search xda you can find it) I would reboot after you change them and then test it and see if it works. Hopefully it does.
Good luck

Look for an onscreen menu button or if you have your soft keys set up to bring up a menu use that but there should be some settings or on screen menu somewhere.

Well that's up to you. I would just flashed viper dna since the recent apps button also acts like a menu for short press and then acts as a recent apps button when you long press it. But that's up to you. Let me know if you get it to work.
