Does anyone know how to edit the grub bootloader so that there is not a 10 second countdown? preferably from the grub commandline, although I could do it from linux if I needed to.
timeout is sec's , change that from that file in isolinux folder or eithin efi folder and look for grub.cfg file

Changed remixos/efi/boot/grup.cfg and remixos/efi/remixos/grup.cfg with no success.
If it helps I'm talking about the "Press 'ESC' to enter the menu... 10'" not the menu itself.

You can edit timeout with Remixos/menu.lst

While playing (a bit too much), I must have deleted the password setup icon/file from settings and cannot change or disable the password screen. Anyone knows what the file name is and can post it here or email me the file. I know the password and can get in but I really don't need it and would like to disable it.
The shortcut is exactly like this:
"ctlpnl.exe cplmain.cpl,1"
>> without "" quotes

Thanks ezzkht, but how do I create the shortcut?
Try to copy any shortcut from \windows\start menu\programs\
and paste it to the location you want, rename it & edit it using Total Commander (right-click on it & choose Properties, then go to Shortcut tab and change the TARGET parameter to "ctlpnl.exe cplmain.cpl,1" without quotes.
The icon will automatically change to the password icon

Sorry ezzkht, I did exactly what you said but it did not work. Tried with and without quotes, tried 0 instead of 1 but the icon never changes to the password icon just an executable icon but nothing happens when I click on it.
OH yes you are right!! sorry!
Ok here's the shortcut, I just get it from my device..
I opened it with a HEX editor & found the following line inside it:
51#ctlpnl.exe cplmain.cpl,1?\Windows\cplmain.cpl,-6000
plz tell me if it worked with you
Hi ezzkht, I tried but this also does not seem to work.
I checked the registery and their is a mention of a Password.cpl in the Windows directory which is not in mine. I installed logologin and picturepassword and have recently removed them, don't know if they might have also removed this file. It may be the the problem, do you have this file.
Neither me, I don't have password.cpl file in \windows directory!!
I have cplmain.cpl only!
I noticed that the password link points to cplmain.cpl with a parameter of : password.cpl
I guess that cplmain.cpl is a composite file which contains alot of programs, one of them is the password program!
Do u have the cplmain.cpl in windows directory??

Thanks ezzkht, this was good but it still did'nt work. I think somewhere their is a file missing. I will try emailing MS and see if they have an answer.
You welcome, but I did nothing!!
A hard reset could help, unless you are not willing to install your programs all over again!

You got that right, finally got all the programs and the look I want. I am going to do a backup via Activsync and a clone backup tonight at home then if all else fails I will do a HR, copy any missing files from the windows directory and reinstall my backups.
Seems a great idea :wink:
Compare the two WINDOWS directories, and copy only the missing files..
Good luck dude
And any tips to what change in it?

Use root explorer. Go to /system and press and hold the build.prop file and then select open in text editor. Make sure you mount r/w in root explorer.
Thanks, and there it goes more money on Android Market =[
Edit: If I wanna add anything just add it to the end, save and reboot? This thing does need a search function to see if the line's already in there somewhere. Does it harm to add a line in the end if it is already there somewhere, working like botton lines overriding the top ones?
Any suggestions to add? And what's dalvik heapsize, head some talk about it.
would strongly suggest that you read and learn before making any changes.

Thanks, but I tried setting the dalvik to 12, as I use only light apps, to see if it would perfom any better (as you said it could be from 12 to 40), and the phone entered an endless loop from boot screen to "Sony Ericsson" screen. Had to re-flash, thankfuly xRecovery still worked and I had a zip in the SD card.

that happen because you didn`t use the right permissions.
from what you`ve described i presume you edit build.prop and then copy paste to system, right?
do this:
enter on system folder, press and hold build.prop file select permitions and then check all. Now copy your new file to system and repeat the proccess (check all permitions).
reboot.
No, I had already changed it from 24 to 28 before, without errors, the only thing I did different in the first time was to "mount r/w". Maybe that's what happened lol.
Edit: Tried again, now mounting the r/w thing, like I did in the first time, but still got the boot loop.
I didn't change the permsions, I'm doing it directly through Root Explorer. click and hold, open in text editor.
A quick question. How does one disable the CD ROM pop-up that appears when connecting the phone? I tried using the same code as on the original Incredible (##7764726), and while it does take me to the same feature editor and I can select CD ROM option and do "disable", it reverts to "enabled" immediately.
Thanks in advance!
PS If anyone knows how to move apps onto an external SD Card?

Don't have the phone in front of me right now, but i believe you navigate to \system\etc and cdrom.iso is in there, just delete it, or rename it (your choice).
If you don't have an app like rootexplorer you can also do it in TWRP's file manager. Just make sure you mount "system" first or you wont see the folder.

This worked for me:
Dial ##PROGRAM#
Press Call
Enter six zeros for the password
Go to Feature Settings
Disable CD ROM
Back out

hmmm ##PROGRAM# does nothing for me.
The ##PROGRAM## worked for me and gave me the menu, but no matter how many times i set the cdrom to disabled it never changes, just remains enabled.

I'm with void4ever. Dialing the ## code was the first thing I did, just like on old Inc. I see the menu, but the change to CD ROM setting does not stick. It reverts to Enabled as soon as I hit OK on the selector...
you go to system/etc/ and remove (or re-name to .bak) CDROM.ISO

Hi Everyone,
I'm a long time lurker on these forums but have finally decided to make a post,
I have found these forums very helpful over the past couple of years with my android devices.
Anyway back to the thread,
When I had my old Galaxy S2 someone modded the default internet browser to have a permanent user-agent option which allowed you to select desktop user-agent so it stopped loading up mobile versions of websites.
I'm now asking kindly if someone can mod the default browser on the Note 2 to have a user agent option which permanently solves the problem of loading mobile pages
I have tried the about:debug trick but it's not a permanent fix, next time you load up your internet it resets back to android
I will also point out I have tried other browsers such as Dolphin, Firefox etc... but I honestly really like the default browser more than the others, it just needs a user agent option in the settings menu.
Thanks in advance
For the record I'm running a rooted N7100 in UK- BTU
Won't be bad but I have seen that if I select 'Desktop view' and even exit the browser when I go back in I see the same website loading as Desktop mode. So I think it remembers the option.

Yes but when you open a new page it then goes back to android,
I know this might seem a small issue and may not bother some users but it's just something that bothers me,
I know someone modded the browser on the galaxy s2 so I'm sure it can be done on the Note 2
Yeah, I'd love to set my user agent as an iPad, so that I'd get tablet sites.

Hi, can you go into more detail where I apply this string?
I didn't find a features folder or others folder under system/csc but I did find others.xml file, do I add the string to this? If so where do I paste that string in the xml file? Also do I reboot into recovery and clear cache etc...

Yes only this:

Open others.xml with test editor. Or put it on your pc desktop, open with notes, add string and save, replace it into the phone.

Sorry for all the questions and thanks for your help so far
I did add that string in the others.xml file using the text editor in root explorer, i saved and rebooted but it hasn't worked
I must be doing something wrong, do I need to replace any strings or simply add to the strings that already exist in the file, if so then do i simply paste the string onto the bottom of .xml file
Thanks again

Hi, try this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mhdol8nt3wg87jx/others.zip
The other file did not seem to be correct. I also added the string to add the button to exit the browser. Put others.xml in system/csc, set permissions to rw-r--r-- and reboot. Let me know if works.

Thanks so such, I now see an option to exit browser which is handy, and it seems that websites are automatically going to thier true desktop state
I looked at the other.xls file you edited, I assume your desktop string simply makes sure that the "desktop view' option is always ticked.
Thanks again!
God knows why samsung can't add these options themselves

You've got my thanks. .:good:
Edit: CTCaer has fixed the issue with hekate, and you should be able to set up autoboot now from within hekate. Grab the latest version here
This should be self explanatory, but there's a bug in Hekate's GUI that causes it not to show ini files in the auto boot menu (CTCaer is aware of the bug and working on it)
However, Hekate will still autoboot from ini files if you modify hekate_ipl.ini
Just delete "autoboot=0" in sd:/bootloader/hekate_ipl.ini and paste the following in:
Code:
autoboot=1
autoboot_list=1
You can get into the Hekate menu by pressing the VOL- button while the boot logo is on screen
The attached zip file is custom bootlogo for hekate that makes it look more like a real Android device, just extract it to the microSD
After editing hekate ipl file to contain android ini file's line, it shows well on nyx.
Could easily just add this line to hekate.ipl.ini so you can boot:
[Android]
payload=switchroot_android/coreboot.rom
icon=bootloader/res/Switchroot Android.bmp
{}

I didn't want to tell people to put the android configuration into hekate_ipl.ini so they wouldn't run into problems if switchroot ever changed it.
Handy, thanks. I made a fullscreen version of the nice android icon that's used in hekate, as an alternative bootlogo if anyone wants it. Unzip & stick it in /bootloader
