I just got my US Cellular Note 2, so the first thing I wanted to do was to root and freeze bloatware, install my favorite apps, etc. A cursory glance through here didn't bring up the root method I used, the Galaxy Note 2 Toolkit so I'm putting up the link.

Just had another uncommon Huawei in the Ascend forum. Instead of moving it to some obscure forum, I just started a help thread for it in this forum. There are quite a few knowledgeable folks here, we're just keeping all it's issues within a common thread in this forum. So I did the same for the...
Just a quick reminder to to anyone doing any kind of modding to their phone. Backups can save you time and data if you keep up on top of them. Even if you don't do anything to your phone for a while, backup your stuff. You never know when the odd glitch or rogue app might bring you to a...
I never use the search button on the front of the phone. NEVER. It's always been a waste of a good button to me. So I changed it to start the Camera instead.

Navigate to /system/usr/keylayout with Root Explorer (or another file manager that will let you mount as r/w)

Well this is pretty neat. SBF your phone to 2.3.4, Zergrush root, and install Bootstrap, all from a bootdisk.

Remember, before performing an OTA update, make sure to unfreeze your apps or the update will fail.
Also remember, if you freeze the wrong system app, you may bork your phone. If unfreezing doesn't get it going again, use RSD to reflash your phone with a SBF to get back to original stock...
***These are all flashed with Bootstrap Recovery.***

First of all, let me say that I don't recommend this. I'm putting up the steps to do it for anyone who wants to try, but it's a pain in the rear. It's worth it to me to pay the extra and go with Verizon. Since I bought the phone used, I don't need a contract, and somehow still managed to get...
When doing anything that requires root, you're ALWAYS responsible for any damage to your phone.
You can never blame others.
This has always been law.
sidenote: Tomsgt made bunches of how-to vids for the X2.

After some trial and error by ShinySide and me, we finally got the kinks out of running this script and making the settings stick. The original thread on here was mostly some back and forth with links here and there, so I'm putting the steps to getting everything to work correctly in sequential...
Long pressing a keyboard entry area will let you choose the default keyboard.
