To have a white clock you will need to Deodex your phone -

Once the Deodexing is done you can use this link -

cool thanks for the links!

No problem... Once you are deodexed if you want another color clock just let me know and ill make a custom services.jar for you.

How did you root it? i've been trying to figure it out for days.

Just bought a note 2

Hello Guys
I'm new in the forum and I just bought a galaxy note 2 n7100,I got it in china and has some kind of custom rom chinese I guess.
I also own a nexus 3 but I never changed the rom and is currently running android 4,2.
On my note I want to get an original rom or something that works well,what do you suggest me and what should I do?
Thanks

You need to carefully read how to root and flash a new rom, if that's what you want. My site has an up-to-date list of Samsung Galaxy Note 2 ROMs. You can also see a few community links to information here at XDA, to help you learn how to root your device.
Read the threads carefully. You should follow the information for your Note II, not a different Note II.
Do you live in China? What do you mean some kind of custom rom Chinese? Did someone sell it with a custom rom on it?
Welcome to the forums. I just got my Note II 6 days ago.
Loving it. (Although I was surprised to learn it doesn't have an FM Radio?)

1. Who would use that site to check for available roms instead of going to the android section?
2. The N7100 does have radio, the N7105 doesn't

It's already rooted, don't worry.
Go to Settings > About device, and tell us what your baseband version is. Once knowing that, someone can point you in the direction of a nice ROM, which is as easy as making a few clicks.

Why not just flash stock sammy rom just like your Nexus3? The stock is good as it is for me. I would suggest go stock, then slap a 64gb microsd for hd movies for your trips to China ü
Updated roms should be round the corner anyway given the leaks mentioned everywhere.
Cheers!

Right it is,I just checked on terminal.
so it says android 4.1.1 based version N7100XXALIE
should I provide something else?
Also would be possible to make a back up of my samsung galaxy nexus 3 and move everything on my note 2?
thanks

Well hell, just go over to the Development section and download a nice ROM suited for your baseband. The N7100 has plenty of support.
No worries. http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1794
You can backup your stuff from your Galaxy Nexus to your computer and move them over to your new phone. Unfortunately it doesn't have an SD card so you can't just move the card over and copy it.

Read, read more and search, that's what the search function is for.
Use framaroot to root you phone. There are a variety of ROMs in the development section. Try them.

[Q] New S5, best setup to remove bloat, root and sim free

hi guys,
just got today an S5 and quite happy with it so far.
I would like to do few things on it, hope you can suggest me the best way:
- get root (Lollipop 5.0, possibly keeping Knox unaltered)
- remove bloatware (especially my magazine)
- make it sim free, I belive is locked to the operator, got it on contract
can you please recommend what's best for doing those 3 things?
thanks a lot,
Gabrio

how about you read the forum, jesus christ it's right there in front of you.

hello Lingo, thanks for your reply
that is what i have been doing for the past 2-3 hours and because i know it's sometimes confusing, i was asking in advance. May i ask you to not swear with the name of our Lord? it's not pleasing to him and there's no need doing it. thank you

If you really had been looking for the last 2 hours, my dear sir, surely you would have noticed the stickied threads which answer all of your questions. One particular thread will even tell you that these kind of posts don't belong here in "General". Good day to you.

here's a few useful threads to get you started:
General advice: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2700073
How to root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696537
If you just want to remove bloat from your current rom, I'd recommend smart debloater: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development/mod-smart-debloater-t2802034
But if you want a new/customisable rom check out Phoenix rom where you can pick and choose what you flash: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2741302
To make it sim-free, you'll need to get an unlock code either from your network or maybe off somewhere like ebay.
Hope that helps

thanks so much those are really helpful... if you could help me with one more thing which I found and is really off (again on this model)....I would love to edit the SMS_Candy.apk and disable SMS to MMS conversion after 480 chars or tricky it, I remember on my sgs2 I did a mod and basically increased that to "after 99 SMS convert to MMS" which did the trick nicely. I had a look at the files and it seems more complicated on Lollipop 5.0? do you know by chance? thanks a lot!

TBH, most custom roms will have that mod already included, I think phoenix rom has it
