SO i just got a GSII for xmas and I want to pass down my old phone to my children so they don't bug me to let them play with my new phone all the time
Can anyone create a rom package for me that would allow them to only get on wifi, play games, and surf the internet?
If not can anyone give me some instructions for how to disable calling and data all the time?
Thanks,
when the phone is deactivated it can no longer make calls or use data. It will only be able to use wifi to do everything you need. Its like an iPod now.

Deactivated phones can still dial 911... That may be an issue for some people.
I know on the Eris forum, someone came up with a script to disable the CDMA/EVDO raidio and the dialer app.

I can make a rom. Just pick the rom that you want (MIUI.US, cm7, cm9, etc., or even stock)

xboxfanj - I'd like to do this also. The ROM version doesn't matter to me. My daughter wants to use the phone as a media player. If you're willing to help out with this, THANKS A MILLION in advance.
Please let me know if you need anything from me.

Miui or touchwhiz is ideal for a children. Cyanogenmod is too advanced and or ugly looking.
I have 2 that I am wanting to do this with and would love this!!!!!
Why couldn't you just use root explorer to remove the phone.apk

I think that might mess up the market access...
You can also put a PIN on the phone functionality. Not sure if this only applys to GSM phones, but under security - there is a Set up SIM card lock.
Edit: hmm yeah, don't see it on the fascinate.

easiest way to do it would be to deactivate it and then either use a custom launcher to hide the apps, or get a locking app and password protect the phone and whatever else app. then you don't need to have a custom rom or anything and you still know the password if you did need to access those apps in an emergency.

I have not tried this on my TF300 yet, but if anyone else has I would be eager to find out how you got on.
Good luck and enjoy
Just installed it, and everything wet smoothly. I have no idea what I am expecting now though, it appears to have just replaced the search bar. Nothing different seems to have happened so far.
Edit: I had to install the modified Velvet-theos0o.apk file in order to get it to work properly. Voice search isn't working but that seems to be a common issue.

if you search factual questions it should now bring up "knowledge cards" with your answer rather than a google search.
Also try holding home and dragging up, it may open "google now" which is supposed to act a bit like your PA and learn your routine
I'm also doing a bigger more widespread port of this over in the android development>apps and games section

Is there any versions out for non-rooted devices? Don't feel too good rooting my new device, would lose the quarantee
Unlocking voids warranty, rooting doesn't.
It says that it requires a "A Rooted device running ICS AOSP Rom". I'm rooted but NOT unlocked and therefore NOT running a custom ROM.
This won't work for me. Right?

Im not 100% sure, but I would imagine that the stock ROM is close enough to AOSP for it to work.
I think it probably would work, but you may want to wait for someone else to confirm

I'm the head of one of the Google Now for ICS projects and you can probably install this normally. Just make sure not to delete your original "GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk" file. Just rename it and have it on hand to put back if anything goes wrong.

im looking for a factory based holo blue themed rom for a buddy.... also looking up what else i need to do before flashing anything on it... its bone stock
Jelly Beans is the ROM to go to.
But make sure your buddies phone is already unlocked. If he didn't unlock his bootloader and install a custom recovery by now he's probably screwed. That OTA has destroyed any current working methods of getting custom recovery capabilities.
If he didn't get the OTA then have him read the Unlocking the Bootloader thread under the Original Development sub forum for the Verizon Galaxy Note 2.
Quick question. If I haven't updated am I still good to use the old unlock?

Samsung doesn't, Verizon does. I can't tell you what their real reasons are for locking bootloaders but I believe their public statement is that they feel by locking these phones down securely they can provide a better network experience for everyone.
Yeah, bull****. It's so they can force bloatware down our throats and prevent people from using root required workarounds to things they keep locked on us. See Google Wallet vs Isis for further study.
Dang. Verizon sucks balls. Hope theres a workaround soon

Hi guys, I am very new to the Note 2. I just unlocked and rooted the latest ota using Casual. Thanks to Adam Outler and everyone else involved. So my question is which ROMs are compatible with this ota? Basic question I'm sure. I came from the Razr and the kernel had to match so I assume its the same here? Anyone willing to shed some light on this for me would be greatly appreciated.
Sent from my GT-P3100 using xda app-developers app
Any rom you want as long as it is in the VZW Note 2 threads can be flashed ours arent locked down by what update we are on because our bootloader is unlocked where it isnt on Moto phones. AOSP roms require AOSP kernels as TW roms require TW kernels. The roms come with kernels though so that isnt something tk worry about unless you I want to.
The only thing to remember is if you go to a 4.2 rom and want t I go back to 4.1 you have to flash a downgrade zip so your SD card doesnt become corrupted. You can find the downgrade zip in the Official CM 10.1 thread in the OP.
Check out Droidstyles guide in Android Development, its a sticky, it explains quite a bit and would ne helpful to you I think.

Thanks for the info. Exactly the answers and info I was looking for. I just flashed CleanROM and went through the flashing process. When it got to the end and said finish to reboot it just turned off and wouldnt turn back on. Couldn't get to recovery or download mode. I had to pull the battery and then turn it on. It went straight to the new ROM though without a hitch. Is that a normal part of the flashing procedure on the N2? The battery pull I mean, or did I miss something?

Thats not a normal thing to happen, but it does happen occasionally. As long as it boots up after the battery pull I wouldnt be too worried by it. I have had it happen to me before and after the battery pull I experienced no issues whatsoever.

CleanROM's good. It was the first ROM I flashed when I got my Note II too.
Eventually though, you may want to switch to something more feature-rich like Jelly Beans, which is what I'm rocking now. The features it adds are pretty awesome and you get full touchwiz functionality (S-Pen and the like) with the look of AOSP.
DL'ing Jelly Beans now. Gotta make a new TiBu before flashing though. Will give it a go shortly. My wife fusses at me sometimes cause on my old phone (Razr) and on this one I am always flashing different ROMs. She especially hates it when she calls and my phone goes directly to voicemail cause I am in recovery flashing a ROM or kernel.

Hi all, I'm feeling like a n00b on the Note too, and really appreciate the help all of you seem to be willing to share with each other. I'm not new to modding phones, recently I've been through an S3, DNA, RAZR HD and M, and even another Note 2. I made the mistake of swapping the Note 2 for an iPhone 5, and regretted it about thirty seconds later. Now that's my wife's phone, and due to the grace of another (local) xda member, I'm back rockin' the Note 2. This time around in looking forward to getting into some serious flashing and tweaking to get the most from the hardware. I've decided this is Verizon's best phone at the moment, with everything I need.
Don't worry, you're not alone in having a wife who gets annoyed at flashing and tweaking. Happens to me all the time, but I use the excuse it's one of the few hobbies that I have which doesn't involve the rest of the family and I need a bit of alone time. It kind of works as an excuse until the point where I need to use it again.
I'm looking forward to being part of this community and wanted to say hello.

I like jedi X rom...I got 3 days off my battery with just the right settings...my recommendation is to not mess with the per app dpi for the settings app because now I'm stuck without a settings app and about to switch roms...just about any rom will work as long as it's for your carrier... Best of luck!

Could someone post a link to Scotts CleanROM for Verizon Note II please? The link on his website is pointing to a server which is trying to hand out a virus as the page comes up with a security warning that the website is not safe.

Did you actually try that link?? It takes you to the same page with the virus warning I said earlier.
As soon as you hit that page, it's trying to get you to install a player which is NOT what it should do. It SHOULD let you download the ROM file.
Anyone else have a good link please?

Thanks for helping the blind!! I guess I better get a seeing eye dog that can use a computer!
I didn't mean to make you think I was upset, I'm just under a tremendous amount of pressure and stress right now with my business and getting my phone back on line is really adding to the stress. I paid for FEDEX overnight shipping to the repair facility and FEDEX overnight saturday delivery to return it and I have been sitting here all weekend trying to get it back up.The guy who fixed it installed an app (TWRP) I have never seen or used and never told me what it was or what to do with it and he didn't return my calls or emails over the weekend to let me know if it was safe to use it with a custom ROM. I had to search all weekend to find out exactly what it was and how to use it. I'm sure you know how expensive that type of shipping is and to have paid all that and still not have my pohone up on Monday morning was a waste of money.
Thanks so much for the help here. I will be more carefull looking at links from now on.

Rudy,
Thanks again. I am downloading the ROM now, although it's slow and will take 30+ minutes. I have a question. I see that some of these ROMS have the ability to accept OTA updates?
My phone specs are
Verizon Galaxy Note II
Android 4.1.1
I605VRALJB
BUILD # JRO03C.I605VRALJB
I don't want my phone to take any updates EVER!
Can I prevent that from happening?
Do you know what I need to do to accomplish that?
Does Scott's ROM's block OTA updates?
It seems he has discontinued support for the Note II and I 'm not really that good with this and I don't want to have my phone get updated and get locked out again. I just spent a lot of money to get it back to v4.1.1
Thanks for any help with this and thanks again for helping me with the download issue!

Hey Tom,
Any custom rom usually has OTA's from Verizon blocked, Scott's included. The download speed you are experiencing is normal.
When roms say they have OTA capability, it usually means that they have the ability to send their own updates via OTA.
Hope that helps. Also, this thread isn't in the right location--you'd be posting to Q&A or general for this type of question.
Anyway, let me know if you need anything else. Have a great day
I just wanted to thank everyone for their help! I now have Scott's Note II ROM on my phone and it's working great!
I do have one problem though. Somehow I managed to change the keyboard where I type text messages and now it doesn't show the keyboard, but has a writing board or whatever it's called and I can't figure out how to get the qwerty keyboard back? It's a screen where the keys would normally be but you can use your finger or a stylus I guess to write or draw. Can anyone advise me how I get it back to normal?
Thanks again to all!

I don't remember that on cleanrom, but it's based on international firmware so there were common issues with a lot of people concerning GPS. Seriously, there's some great roms that are based on Verizon 4.3 and soon you'll see 4.4.2. Why waste your time with a 4.1.2 rom? Like I said smooth rom, Trents rom is excellent, as well as some more feature packed roms that are awesome but may be overwhelming for you at this point. See what's near the top of the list in Android development forum, pick one, and after backing it up try another.
