I've seen on the xda forums that some people have 'extra' toggling buttons at the top of their notification drawer(hope it's the correct term, 1st three months as Android OS user), My friend's S3 has them by default too, does the Note have it? or is there a need for root/custom launcher; since S3 has a newer rev of the Touchwiz Launcher. If possible, i would like to avoid rooting!
What the phone currently has, from stock is just 5 buttons at the top, which are Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, Profile, Screen Rotation, Power Saving.
Wish to add: Mobile Data toggle/ Sync toggle (dunno if there's any more available)
something like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=1620625
^yeap, that's it. but i have a query, it's my first time with an android phone, barely used for 4 months.
i don't get wat's flashing with CWM; does that require root? what exactly is CWM, apart from the full name?
does flashing that mod = voiding my warranty like what rooting does?
Bump. Anyone knows why the note doesn't have it o.o

You can use some app from playstore for extra toggles if you do not want to root but flashing this mod requires root and cwm.
If you are rooted, you can have 15 toggles without having cwm, here is a small guide- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30668303

To root your phone,you could simply flash a safe rooted kernel like Odin version hydracore through ODIN.
You will get yellow triangle and increased counter.But you can reset it easily with triangle away app by chain fire.A simple search would bring it up....

One last query, how do I backup my current settings? I suppose the sequence is root, backup and then apply mod?

Bump!
Question in my above post in unanswered :x
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
when u root and apply a safe kernel like hydracore or speedmod.. u will get cwm thru which u can backup the ROM using the nandroid backup feature.
The best start is to get Rooted first.. then install the 15 toggles you want.. search threads and you will find a lot with different shapes and themes

It is impossible for all of us to have stock ICS on our Notes, since it hasn't been released yet.
But don't lose hope, the initial release is expected within a month or so.
But yout do lose s-pen with cm9!

I don't have a note, but we can do this on any other touchwiz device I've ever tried. Go to settings -> applications -> all -> twlauncher -> clear defaults. Then when you press the home button, it should give you a choice of launchers, one of which is the reg Google launcher. I'm currently using that I'm my leak build of ics for the epic touch. So I assure you, when they release it for the note, it will be possible.

or its quite possible that it just isnt available on the note like it is on other devices
my "clear defaults" button is greyed out...
I can confirm you only get tw launcher with the note. But you should be able to download the gingerbread launcher apk and install it on the note. Then jut uninstall the tw launcher.
in this case which one will be faster?

Is there a file that i can flash via mobile odin that would modify my quickpanel to show 15 toggles? I don't need additional themes. Just the toggles. I'm on stock german 4.0.4 and rooted. The ones i've seen require cwm. Just wondering if there's anything else that would let me use what i already have.

You can use cwm.zip (which you have used to root device)
Thanks doc. I've don't have cwm. I've been using mobileodin to update my phone since 2.3.5.

Hi there,
I want to ask you all how do I root my stock ICS without installing other custom roms. I just need the stock to be rooted for me to install titanium back up and unroot it after the Jellybean official arrived.
I am having a lot of problem with game save files import and export. Cause most of the game save saved locally on phone.
Any help would be grateful!

Go through Dr.Ketan's guide..you will get to know everything about rooting.
I did the same thing when I first rooted my phone. Just rooted the stock ICS & was using it. So, under development section, you will find the kernel thread in which you will see Philz kernel. Select the one which is for your ICS version & flash it via PC Odin
just install the philz kernel using recovery and you will get root.
If I want to restore back to stock kernel, what should I do? flash stock kernel again?

I just updated thru Kies in Hong Kong, to 4.04 JB. I tried to use the camera and I had an alert blocking the camera screen and a message bar as follows "Tap and hold shortcuts to edit them. Also combined with it where the OK button was was a text box with the words scanning media in it.
Now, its working after I played with it, first I reboot, that didn't help. Then I accidentally put it into third party mode but hit the up volume to get out of it before it went into download mode. It started to reboot but I held the up-vol, home and on button until it went to the rest screen. I tried to just wipe the cache, but it didn't do anything, moving the selector up and down worked, I tried wiping cache again, no luck, so I just reboot. After rebooting I laid the phone down and started to look for a solution in here. So I go to try the camera again to get the alert message it had, and
Wha La, the darn camera started working right, the alert blocking the screen was gone, it came up as usual for a new triggering, but it accepted my selection when I told it ok and then it went away as usual, computers, micro-processors, no matter what kind, if you have problems, some times just a long shut down to clear the electronic memory will also clear the problems.
Hi,
I am concerned about my offline game progress back up when Samsung rolls out 4.1.2 for our international Note N7000.
Will I be able to back up it from choosing the back up options from kies?
Is it a wipe ROM or non wipe type?
Emmc bug free?

Ok so i just go the galaxy gear i have already been doing alot of research on the watch. I have been debating if i should root it or not cause NULL rom looks really good for what i want to do with it..
Can some one help me find a way to back up the gear if i decided down the road to go completely back to stock?
has any one had any problems running NULL?
would you recommend doing it?
And where is the best guide to follow?
Very easy, it does require you to root the device. Once rooted, download TWRP for Galaxy Gear and flash it using ODIN. There, you can create a backup of your rooted stock firmware.
Another thing you can do is download the official firmware from this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2463743), and then flash that using ODIN, that will return you to 100% stock without root.
Good luck, I'm having tons of fun modifying my Gear, been able to increase the volume on it during calls.

I'm still trying to decide myself. I don't wanna lose any of the watch functions though if I flash null
Update : I think I will try null when I get home. Seems there's some work around for missing function like double tap for setting. Can't wait.

I might create a thread later on today if my account allows me to. It's the same concept as the Galaxy S3 and Note 2 of modifying the Default_gain.config file in the root files. Found in "/system/etc/" folder.
I got root access but stopped there....all my devices bar my note 2(for G Gear reasons) are rooted with custom ROMs but I'm not sure if I should install Null or leave as is...I guess it is a question of opinions but is it worth doing? What are the top things you can now do that were not possible before, which are also worth doing/practical on a wearable? Thanks for any responses....I need reasons to go the next step!!!

I didn't like the rom personally. I couldn't use the Internet because my phone don't have bluetooth Internet or whatever that option is. The dial pad for Nova is all bunched together making the call button untouchable. So for me it's pretty much useless

I think the rom is like something you'd use on a phone. Gives you a notification bar. Internet (if have a way to use it) playstore. Both Nova and touchwiz launchers.

I was on the fence about rooting at first, but I jumped and flashed null. Let me tell you I am so glad I did. Battery life and more options is great! And knowing it is super easy to go back to stock is awesome. Although I don't see a reason to. Null with free fall theme is the way to go.
