[Mod] Increase Max Brightness - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

WARNING:
Using this mod may decrease battery life, decrease screen life and/or quality, cause overheating, cause your phone to blow up or cause other damage to your phone. Use at your own risk. I am not responsible for any damage this mod causes to your phone.
This Mod will increase the max brightness of your phone by about 10%.
Note:
Auto Brightness must be turned off for this to work.
Root is required for this Mod.
Instructions:
Download and run app attached to this post.
Or. ..
echo 1 > /sys/class/backlight/panel/auto_brightness
If you reboot or enable auto brightness you have to run it again.
The best way to tell if it worked would be to run it when your screen is already at full brightness. You'll see it go a bit brighter.
Tested on T-Mobile Note II, but this may work in many Samsung Galaxy phones.

Sweet, now I pretty much have no excuse not to get this phone. This is seriously sweet.
Just an inquiry, but do you know if color temperature or gamma control is modifiable via kernel, app, or other means?
Also, where is the enthusiastic community response?

Nice mod, and I like the fair warning you put up top. Mine's on order and only 5 days to go.

Nobody has it and most expect it to be locked.

I think the answer is not yet. But I think it's coming, it's up to the kernel devs.

Nobody has the device yet...I think most are holding off to see what the skinny is on the bootloader. Also this is a nice mod but far from original development...needs moved to the other dev section and it will probably get more traffic.

works as advertised on Sprint note 2...would prefer something more automatic/not app dependent to be honest but great nonetheless

What do you mean? Does this not work on the Verizon version?
Are you rooted? Did you try the command instead of the app?

[Q] How to adjust vibration intensity in AOKP?

Sorry if this is an obvious answer, but so far have been unable to find a solution through xda and Google searches. I'm currently running Task's b31.

Soft keys, key presses, keyboard.
At this time I believe there's no way to adjust it, and it's low on the priority list since it's not adversely affecting anything.
And as to the vibrate when you unlock the screen, I've not found a way to disable it. Seems every thread I've read about it says you can't disable it right now. Hopefully in a future update but it's definitely low on the priority scale for me anyhow.
Please tell me how to reduce vibration intensity on lock screen.
Thanks
Nice find! And only 2 months dead! How many people did it take to dig this up? Shovels or by hand ?

Lol. Why u no givez vibration intensity buttttonz?! Haha. I actually got used to it after a while. U can do it yourself, but to me its just....meh. Not one of those uber important things.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk 2
This is simple... Just use the Fluxi kernel. You can adjust the intensity using the xxtweaker app
Foxhound rom has an option to reduce the intensity of vibration.It is the only aosp rom with that option i think.

Yuuuuup! There's no way to do it on stock AOKP, but you can if you flash ktoonsez's Fluxi kernel(which has been reported to work amazing with AOKP). Launch xxTweaker -> Sound and Vibration -> Vibration intensity -> BOOM

Quadrant, or any benchmark, CAN mean something if you're constantly hacking your phone and want to see the effects. Comparing it to someone else's is tricky because no test can represent how you use the phone in actual situations.
You can turn off journaling on partitions and get an immediate jump. You can update the video driver, force hardware renering. Heck, you can even create a ramdisk and simlink all your files, too.
To me, everything is a trade-off. You gain performance by reducing security, battery life, memory/storage space, or whatever your mod does to it.
But I admit it's fun!!
Has anyone benchmarked read/write speed of the data partition yet? I want to compare it to my class 10 sd card to see if it's worthwhile to move some files around or not.
Oh, by the way, if you want to brag about high scores, you should use the older version (I think it was 1.x) of Quadrant as it reported higher scores. Time to dig out the backups!

Hope you recovered it completely. When I did it and revived it, my screen had a small stain/fog for a long time, then, one day, I noticed it disappeared completely.

What are everyone's thoughts on Vellamo? Kind of prefer that one myself. I aggree that most benchmarks can be inaccurate... But they're cinsistant enough that they're still effective for testing one phone to the other, or one Rom to the other in my experience.

Samsung Galaxy Note II Security Exploit

Has anyone seen this? I tried searching in the XDA VZW SGN 2 forums and didn't find any discussion nor patches for it.
http://www.engadget.com/2012/12/16/security-exploit-opens-samsung-exynos-devices-to-attack/
It's the top thread in the developer's section. RyanZA already posted an apk to patch it for rooted users, so we're taken care of.
Serious heart attack as I was reading the thread and getting an idea of the scope. Pretty much every Samsung device is hit.
Edit: first time on xda app, sorry
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2048511 is the discussion thread I mentioned above.
https://github.com/Ryan-ZA/exynosfix is the fix for rooted devices. On some devices this will knock out the back camera, but its been confirmed to work 100% for the note2

From what I understand the Note 2's camera does not break with the exploit patched - it's the S3's camera that does that.

a friend of mine just ran it on his att note 2 and it turned the camera screen green...worked fine for me.
So what r the chances of people actually hacking the phones? Or do you think this is an over hyped alarm....what does this apk do? Will it be something consuming battery in the background?

I believe it simply changes the permissions of the exploit closing the vulnerability so I don't think it'll drain any battery. I've downloaded the Voodoo apk and it worked great and no adverse issues on camera or anything else so far. Better safe than sorry and this one you can set it to fix at boot as well.

Also his compatability list says to use Imnuts with locked bootloader? I'm on Jellybeans 2 with unlocked bootloader so should I just stay with Voodoo?

Imnuts posted saying it worked and that he was stock with a locked bootloader. It works with anything, he was just citing Imnuts as a source claiming it works.
This is all recent development for me. I wasn't aware and have been reading and trying to understand whats happening.
so with Chainfire's apk- for devices already at least rooted it will allow one to enable & disable the exploit... but for stock non-rooted devices it will essentially run an exploit to gain root then allow one to enable & disable the exploit?
Probably good I found out for myself. Yes to my question. I was already rooted and installed the apk- works. And I just saw in- how to root, in development that this is also the oneclick root method...so now I have a better concept of how scary the potential of exploiting is.

yup plenty of people are using it.. definitely seems to smooth things out.
So can this be used on ICS? I see where it's mentioned but doesn't specifically say. It looks interesting
Any word on the effect on battery life?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
I have it bundled in CounterShrike 3.0, and available as a download for PAC-Man. In both cases, it's the background service only and not the app, but the effect is the same. I'm quite skeptical of performance tweaks, but so far, this one seems legit. It does not help general performance. It does help anything that uses entropy...app lauching, task switching (including return to home), many list based loads (Facebook newsfeed as one example), and so on.
The add on version I have is generic enough to run on any ROM and device as long as the kernel supports init.d. http://androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390233485161005378
Edit: I've seen zero battery impact. If anything, it may be a bit better, but that's totally subjective.
I'll give this a shot
I've been running the flashable script version for a few days. It does appear to make a difference though I haven't done any hard testing.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
Seems to make a slight difference only noticeable sometimes on inef dues. Antutu scores are the same. I think what I notice most is it being a little snappier between app switching. Hopefully it doesn't affect my battery life
I bought the app from the Play Store, but it deactivates itself every time the screen is turned off. Also, it's never prompted me for root access, so I'm quite skeptical that it's doing anything on my phone.

Is it Seeder by LCIS for 1.49? I may try and see. But I already flashed that zip shrike posted so I'd have to restore my nandroid and then try it
So, what about the article on the portal about these claims of improvement being false? Does anyone have any real proof either way about this or is it just a placebo? When really amazing devs not only say it works but also include it in their ROMs, it makes you think there's a little more to it. Just curious.
Quite a few reputable devs out there saying this does nothing at all that's it's all placebo.
Idk if it's this or something else I flashed but my phone will not go over like 550mb of ram. So every app I open has to reload kind of

They are both the same thing, you have the option of installing it as a script and let init.d start it or as an app..

K if I remember when I restore my nandroid i'll try it and see. I can see a difference but on faster/newer phones or AOSP Roms you more than likely won't see any. But after flashing that it's definitely different. Not sure if it's for the better or not since I can only tell with switching apps.
Edit: I feel like any tweaked rom is going to do the same. I just bought that app and it made literally no difference. Maybe the difference I was seeing was from the animations I flashed. Lol interesting. I also notice my ram is being used better without the tweaks.. What do the tweaks actually do?
I didn't notice much of a difference so I uninstalled it. And whatever you do, don't pay for it in the Play Store. Go to the thread in the OP and get it for free.
