Anyone enabled 180 degree rotation yet? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

I believe it's just a build.prop edit, but I've heard of it bootlooping some people after making the suggested edits, so just wanted to make sure I used a tried and true method for our phone.
I'd really like to have this mod on my phone. I use a flygrip, and while it doesn't sit properly on the kickstand in regular portrait mode, it works great if you flip it upside down.
As much as I can't wait to flash custom ROM's with all of these features already implemented, I'm kind of having fun learning how to do some mods on my own! It's really neat to watch the development unfold for this phone..I can already tell this is going to be a great community!

I went ahead and tried this 270 rotation build.prop tweak for the Note GT-N7000 and it didn't make a difference(even tried to set it to 180).

Im using the ultimate rotation app and it work great

Just a heads up, in using this app I came to realize that on some gyroscope enabled applications, such as games like Need for Speed, this app will cause it to not with properly(the car was just doing circles).
Tried forcing different orientations with the app, but it didn't seem to work. Uninstalling the rotation app and rebooting the phone fixed the issue though.
Oh well, now that we have some custom ROM's starting to flow, most of them will have options for 180 rotation. I started this thread when we only had stock rooted available.
Thanks for the app suggestion though, it worked well for what I needed for, for the time that I needed it!

ROM Toolbox

So I'm sure a good majority all ready know. But ROM toolbox has a root explorer built into it in the latest edition, and that is included in the free edition as well. Plus it allows you to set the scaling governor and cpu sliders, along with some other little nifty tweaks. So if you haven't checked it out, I would.
Thanks, nice find.
Not a problem.

Conflict b/n Rom Toolbox and Rom Manager
Can anyone offer a suggestion on where I should go to find out why I'm having a conflict between Rom Toolbox Pro and Rom Manager/Clockworkmod?
I'm having it with both UnNamed 1.2 and CM7 7.1. I can't do anything like backing up or installing roms because Rom Manager is blocking everything unless I buy the paid version of Rom Manager...what's up?
Thanks in advance and sorry if I put this in the wrong place.

I don't use ROM manager but when I was on home base it had ROM manager and I had no conflicts. Have you tried any other ROM's?
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
Likewise. I've tried LCD densities between 200-264. I noticed anything over 240 changes the way the weather widget displays. Unfortunately at this time we can only change the min frequency on CPU slot 4 per developer. Additional profiles for the remaining slots are being considered, however I think the developer wants to see greater interest for the same first?

Smart Actions type app for S3?

Ok guys, let me start off by saying I am a noob to the S3! I've had it for 2 days now and love most of what I've seen! I am coming from a Motorola Bionic running ICS leak for a while and was pretty spoiled to one little thing! Smart Actions! I really didn't even use it to its full capabilitys! I really miss the most the volume controls! Ringer/notifacation alert volume controls, that is set to a specific timeframe! Like when I'm at work turned down to minimum level and vibrate on. Anyone know of a good EASY TO USE app like that? I've downloaded Llama, just cant quite get it to work right!
Thanks for any help!

Tasker is the king of all Apps. The UI could possibly get a bit overwhelming for not-so technical users. Automate It Pro is a similar app with a much better UI (although it has admittedly lesser number of features than tasker).
I actully found an app that looks like it will work for me! Cronos! It has a Lite and paid verson, I'm using the lite verson now. It's very simple to setup! Closest to "Smart Actions" I have found!
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Ok, thought Chronos was going to suit me. But no, has not seemed to work yet. And yes, Tasker is a bit over my head! Think I'll give that Automate It a try.

Ther are a lot of great videos on YouTube showing how to use tasker. Once you get the hang of it, it's pretty awesome.

[Q]Landscape keyboard on Badseed Tranquil ROM

Just flashed the Badseed Tranquil ROM last night and noticed today that when I'm in landscape there is an empty space on the right of the keyboard. I can see through to the app behind the keyboard. Is that supposed to be like that or is there a way to fix it? Also I'm getting some reasonable lag while I'm using the keyboard that I didn't get before. Any help would be great.

I flashed using twrp and came from Hatka Supreme if that helps at all. I'm also having problems in the extended settings with the kernel options. Won't let me set tweaks on boot. Dunno if that's a Rom issue or kernel issue though. I'm running cubed but might switch back to beast. Thought cubed would help cuz since I installed roms my car charger won't charge the phone. Gives me the notification error message.

Try a clean flash. Dirty flashes are going to cause issues.

When I got hone from work I wiped everything and flashed from the beginning. Then the keyboard worked, then I put all my apps back on, went to send a txt and therer it was again. So I went into every app that I could use the keyboard on and discovered the empty space is only there in certain apps. My stock messaging and stock browser are fine but gosms and xda and chrome have the empty space by the keyboard. Really disappointing cuz I absolutely love the Rom otherwise. Blue is my favorite color and especially that color blue lol. My case and even my car is that shade blue hahaha. See if that problem happens with anyone else and if it ends up getting fixed in an update I will surely be switching back!

This is a Kernel issue , I suggest BeastMode 5.9 , and you set the options you want in aroma . If you want to change things on the fly feel free to try another kernel , CP's kernel for example .

That is so confusing. Maybe I was wrong and chrome wasn't one. I was trying to remember from last night lol. I know gosms definitely was one though cuz I send so many txts. Give it a try and if it doesn't do it for you then maybe it's an app that I installed that's making it do that. I also have lmt pie installed and that works from that side of the screen so it could possibly be that.

Damn gosms! That's giving me issues with the floating notifications app too. Guess I might have to switch. I just hate the stock app so much and I dunno if any others out there have the privacy box with gesture lock like go has. Hmm will have to do some digging. Also do you know if the problem I'm having with my car charger saying it's unsupported on my phone is a kernel issue or Rom issue?

Smart stay for cm10.1?

I love cm roms, always using them.. But, i miss the smart stay function from the stock Sammy roms. So my question would be, is there some mod/app for smart stay to work with cm?

Smart stay + on play store may work. Give it a try and give feedback. :thumbup:
I installed smartstay ex from the playstore. I'm testing now, and i guess it works.. Poor face detection on low light, but its ok on daylight.

[Q] tablet UI for mega 6.3 i527 at&t or softkeys such as lg g2

I am not unfamiliar with the xda and searching for answers but I have yet to find anything on what I would like to do. I have tried an array of apps and tweaks from "softkey enabler" to "wanam settings". where as I have had success in customizing a great deal of this awesome Mega. yet everytime I enable the soft keys or set to a different UI I get the "unfortanately systemui has stopped working. I understand the not being able to have a custom rom or recovery at this time. all I am asking if any one has a clue to what can be done or attempted just so I can enable softkeys or get the tablet UI working. thanks

True DAT!!! I knew there was a way through Xposed and some system settings download. I remember there were 3 items to change the settings on that had to do with changing dpi to 220, but I am smart not too much sometimes and cant remember. Sorry, but maybe if you could come up with certain phrasing and run a search. There was a how to in the Note forums.

I actually did use "phab7" but all I had to do was during the force closing navigate back through and disable. i have done that plenty of times with other attempts. but yet to no avail.

I have reworded as much as I can (or as far as my intelligence will allow me) and have yet to uncover which settings need to be configured. I do understand that it maybe as simple as a quick tweak but I am a bit discouraged when venturing to deep. I am in no way a dev and would like to consider myself very slightly above a noob. I will continue my search. thanks for the replies and if i do stumble upon my answer. could I post my success here or just post where I found it.
As far as soft key go, why just not use PIE?

I have used "pie" before on my original note. and although i did like the concept "swiping" to bring it out is not particularly what I want on this Mega. I had used a custom rom that allowed me to switch my note from phone /tablet /phablet. and truely enjoyed the look of the "tablet" UI. so what i am looking for is to make my Mega look like my Note 10.1 as far as the softkeys and navigation bar are concerned. but until some brilliant dev figures out the work around for this "i527" and can allow us to flash such a rom. I must continue my search for what ever comes close.
