So, I hope others add to this thread. I learned something new to me and thought I'd share.
There were several times when I picked up my phone, and it vibrated. For no reason. I thought this was odd. But, there was a reason. I just didn't know it. I have been reading the samsung site's FAQ and was enlightened.
When you pick up your mega and it vibrates, it is telling you there is a missed call, text, voicemail or other notification waiting. It's called Smart Alert. Very convenient if you have notifications limited to 1. Never had a phone do this before. I like it!!:laugh:
I learned my Mugen 6600mah battery is a beast giving me double battery life lol naw I'm playing. Glad to see someone else noticed that vibration thing...but running custom 4.4.2 it doesn't do it anymore.cheerz
*SHAYNEZ*KCCO*
I will throw in one. On the lock screen, I added a widget for the remote. Now, I don't even have to unlock the phone to turn the tv down. I really like the IR feature.
dmn i wasnt sure what those vibrations supose to do ( for me it was more like "haha im not sleepn any more" lol )
IR is pretty sweet. what apks u use to use ur mega as remote controller?
I just use the Samsung stock WatchOn for IR remote. It works well with my dish recievers and televisions. Is there something I should look at that is better?

If you use 2 fingers to pull down the notification panel you'll get instant access to the shortcuts. I used to pull the panel down with 1 finger then click the gear icon to access it before.

I like your version of that vibration!! I used to think it was just saying "HI, still here!"
I use the stock watch on too. I found this by accident. Was going thru the unfamiliar apps in the apps drawer, clicked on it and found a very cool thing!!! Works on optonline's cable box! Very cool. I have the Note 8 and never found this one. It's there though! Just had to hunt for it.
Keep um coming guys!!! Thanks for your participation! :highfive:
I just learned over the weekend that my Mega can be used an an IR remote for my Nikon camera. Does all sorts of stuff that the Nikon remote does, and for free ($4 if I want the ad-free version, which I'm considering).
I like that when I am txting someone.... I can tap on the paperclip and choose "record audio".. then it gives me over 3 minutes of yapping and yapping.. so much easier than typing or even using the voice typing.. 3 minutes of my own speech.. in a txt message!!! love it
Ohh i just learn today this, if you update your mega 6.3 I9200 to the new firmware you will get this beautiful security call KNOX :banghead: ahhh i lost my root :thumbdown: so if you get the OTA Update you should think twice before upgrading.

Can someone explain exactly why knox is so bad? Does it keep you from re-rooting?
This is what I know about it so far. It makes a separate "box" of stuff so you can keep your work stuff separate from your personal stuff and your employers have the ability to control this "box" somehow. I know it can't be un-installed. That's about all my knowledge, even after checking it out!

There is no going back to older version rom if you flash a knox enabled rom. You are stuck with it. You can't install custom roms either.

Sorry, but it's no way... new firmware is one way ticket - you can't go back even if you have nandroid backup. New bootloader prevent you from downgrading. Anyway in my opinion it is only matter of time to find a way to root new firmware with KNOX. And when 4.4.2 arrives there will be no other choice than upgrade with all what it contains... and one of this things will be KNOX for sure.
Since no one is jumping in here to explain why knox is so bad, I went back to find out exactly what knox is. Read the following link from samsung's site.
http://www.samsung.com/global/business/mobile/solution/security/samsung-knox/
This explains what it is. I still need to know why it is so bad for devs to get around it. Any one???
What I got so far after reading the above link is it is attached to the bootloader, and the kernel, so if anyone messes with these components, the phones senses it and shuts down the phone. Is this the huge block associated with the att version and knox in general?
I ha e discovered that in my text window, when I hit vol + or - , my text size will increase or decrease. Hmmmmm.

This has nothing to do with knox
The bootloader will block any older roms.
But it's still possbile to flash an older rom through custom recovery

Ain't nobody got time for that
If one was using the stock ROM but had it rooted, updating would presumably deroot the device, right? Or would the update fail?
I meant Q-slide was suppose to be working with other apps, like the whole browser not just certain videos, and it was suppose to work with other apps natively. In the notification bar there was suppose to be a Q-slide bar under the brightness bar and you could select apps to play over your current app.

bloat isn't really a factor here but we can all expect better JB roms
Took AT&T long enough
I'd like to share some battery results... it's phenomenal so far. Installed and then took a nap for ~2 hours, that's where it flat lined at 16%. A little early to say, but first impressions are legit.

Dude I NEVER had that option since I took the phone out the box at the AT&T store. You're saying you had that to begin with? I find that very odd....
So I did some searching around to see exactly what Q Slide is SUPPOSED to be and I think you must have this feature confused with something else or another phone all together. Even on various videos and LG's own website, Q Slide is used to watch VIDEOS and use apps at the same time. It says absolutely nothing about having 2 different apps on top of each other at the same time. I think you are confusing yourself mate.

Thanks for the insights. I guess my eyes aren't up to that. I got the note so I could enjoy the large screen. I imagine its just a matter of time before its available.
I used it on a s3 and i dont think i would use it asuch as i thought but i dunno... I just use the recent apps to jump around
Yeah, I think its not a practical thing on a note, but on a 7inch or larger tablet it ciuld be useful for the ways the previous posters described.
Must have
This is a must have feature for people like me because i am always trying to do three things at once with my phone but if i can do two at a time thats a time saver. Blackstar ROMs almost have this perfected. They have the multi window app tray when you hold the back button and you can pull apps out to use for multi window but they do come out half size so they just overlap. I tried downloading Multi window manager and it tried to patch an XML file i think but it still didnt work after. If anyone has some advice on how to get it to work you should check it out
Been running CM11, for the past couple of days now, and have to say that KitKat is mighty freakin' sweet. Seems to be fast as all get out, and the new contacts/dialer/caller ID are awesome. I haven't noticed any bugs, yet. Bluetooth streaming is working perfectly. Gotta love it. :good:
been thinking of trying CM but these are the things that keep me on the stock rooted rom....
camera app saving to SD card
IR blaster
is there a way i could get these inside the Rom to work?
With most of the kitkat ROMs BT streaming is an issue and other random bugs but yes its always been fast and pretty stable from my experience.
I have to take back what I said about Bluetooth working perfectly. Today, in the car, it "gargled" a little on me, but it straightened itself out after a few seconds.
i want to try cm11 but i am stuck on mk2
I loved cm 4.4 on my gnex. Too bad I'm also stuck on mk2 now.
Ir works for me as for pictures there's modded cameras to enable pic saving to SD

u can get the IR blaster to work, just download that app Smart Remote (unless it doesnt work for 4.4)
Widgetlocker for rotation

Rotating lockscreen, use Widgetlocker. Depending on your LS layout it can look strange, but I keep my layout simple and the rotation works fine and looks decent enough.
Flashed the CM11 12/24 nightly today and it is awesome. Totally slick and can't wait for the usual CM features to be reintroduced!

Technically there are but do it at your own risk. People flash stuff from i92xxx but it is very risky especially if you have KNOX on your device. Be careful when doing this. I strongly reccomend you leave everything completely stock.

Xposed module and remove bloatware, thats about it. Keep rooted and dont let it upgrade or you will lose root. The 4.4 has no root.
And if you choose to try and remove bloat through TiBu, be very careful. Actually, better to freeze than remove.

Titanium Backup, but be careful removing. Many have really screwed their device up. People have published lists, but others have messed up even going by that. Better to freeze. If your device acts up, you simply unfreeze. Need paid version to freeze.

If you were to go into app manager, you would find Knox in there 3 seperate times. I have warned you about removing with TiBu, so no whining allowed when you delete a part of your OS when it is attached to another file.
Still no recovery because the bootloader is locked.

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.
Thanks
Tom

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

Ok, I got it. There's more than one download link on the page and I guess I didn't hit the correct one? Confusing as hell !!
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!
Tom

Never mind, I figured it out! Doh!
I also throw out there that gas dies eventually on this rom. If you check the thread, it has happened to a lot of people including my wife's.

Not sure what you mean by running out of gas???
He means....GPS, some had problems on this ROM.

Ok thanks.
I am noticing that the radio seems to be a little weaker. Is that my imagination?
I would go with something newer that is still supported Krowley's smooth rom would be a good place to start.

I also see that what I thought was a defect in the manufacturer's ROM is still occurring in Scott's ROM That's when you have a phone call and you hang up and then it starts playing audio files that you have on your phone. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a way to stop it?
Thanks

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.
