Note 2 Hidden Settings
If you liked this app and want to help support it, be sure to grab the Donate Version: http://bit.ly/18iMxnWMake sure that this app is not blocked by the XPrivacy app.It's a good idea to backup your data before making any root modifications.
This app enables you to easily change hidden settings on your Note 2 (or other Samsung device), such as:
• Adding a shutter sound on/off option to the camera
• Turning on Infinite Scroll mode on the launcher and app drawer
• Extending how many contacts you can join togetherThese modifications normally can only be made by manually editing a system file, which can be dangerous and very inconvenient. This app makes the process quick and painless.
Features:
• Shows which options have already been enabled, even by a different app or manually
• Creates an automatic backup in case something goes wrong
• Nice looking Holo interface
• Supports devices which implement feature.xml or an others.xml file
Ads can be turned off in the menu, but remember it's the only form of revenue that is supporting the app.
Note: App is not compatible with AOSP roms.
IF THE "RESET TO DEFAULT" BUTTON ISN'T WORKING:
• Use Root Explorer, ES File Explorer or a similar app to go to the /system/csc directory
• Delete the feature.xml file
• Rename the feature_backup.xml file to feature.xml
• Make sure the file permissions on the new feature.xml are rw-r--r--: ◦ Owner: Read, Write ◦ Group: Read ◦ Others: Read
If the app isn't working or if you have any other questions, please email the developer and a fix will be on the way. I strongly encourage you to email SteinApps@gmail about your problem instead of just talking about it in a review, as there is no way for me to really help you unless you email.

1 star reviewers who say it didn't work need glasses, because you have to be ROOTED FIRST. It says so in the first line of the description. Mr. Developer I'd love to see the ability to turn off the constant wifi reminder at least in the donate version.
The only issue is that the settings need to be applied every time the phone is restarted. In other words, changes are not permanent and there's no way to run this app on startup automatically. But it's free, so thank you very much.
I have galaxy note 2... but no setting is working there... these guys are just making fool.. waste of time and money.. govt should suspend and arrest this type of bloody people.. these guys are just making fool.. do some work guys.. if u dont have ability to do good things so plz stop all these nonsense stuff.. work hard .. and stop making such kinda apps..
Samsung Galaxy S4 from Verizon. Rooted with Safestrap and don't have a problem with the app. I also have used it on almost every S4
It doesn't work on my note 2. The main thing I wanted was to turn shutter sound off but it won't work.
Thank you.. im usen it on my note 2 from verizon, rooted with whomp rom. i hated the forced ota update with this app that worry is gone. Will be doing a review on it soon
Works well on my Note 2. I haven't tried the Wake on Alarm feature. Would be great to see more features added!
Thanks to your app I can finally disable shutter sound in stock camera application for Note 3 running Lollipop. That was really anoying and no other camera app performed as good as stock one. Well done.
Works great. But also five stars because they answered my question nearly instantly and were very friendly.
I love this app, but it does appear that there may be issues with compatibility with 4.3. For instance, changing the email app to use a dark background no longer seems to work. Patches are probably incompatible.
Had problem using this app. It wasnt working in my phone for some confusion. I mailed devoloper and he helped me to get things done. And the app works totally fine.
All I wanted was a way to silence the Camera app's shutter sound, and this app ended up doing a lot more. Not only did it silence what I wanted, but it eased one of the most annoying parts of my current build - not having the symbols available above the letters in the keyboard. This app brought that feature back, which made me freak out on the inside with happiness. Kudos!
Great app simple and gets the job done. Full screen ads that have no relevance for this app are not cool. Uninstalling. Well after getting shown how to remove ads i did so and ak a happy customer.
Can confirm that the settings I have tried so far work on my rooted Samsung Galaxy Express i8730.
It's alright but has a limited amount of options. The various modules available for Xposed framework offer a far greater degree of options and customization. AND this has pop up ads that show up outside of the app!
I mainly use this to get the sub-symbols for the keyboard to work and it works great.
My phone don't work properly, can developers consider to help me solve the problem
One issue: the keyboard alt symbols only work for the English keyboard. A suggestion: consider an Xposed module
Gives the option to silence the shutter on the N9005 Note 3 camera & it let me add a home page button to the browser, tippy toppers.
If you are not rooted it WILL NOT WORK! Search Google for how to root your phone. Fantastic App!
not work on s4: disable all sound related with camera, but when shutting camera sound still exists
nicely done. this is the main reason why i don give up my note 2!
I'm so glad to succeed turning off that annoying shutter sound on my i9300. (rooting required)
Just needs a fix so it will work with CM11, 4.4 KitKat on my Verizon SCH-I605. I'm really missing my infinite scrolling since I installed the ROM.
Great for improving and optimizing the functionality of your smart phone. Please keep it up! Add more features and streamline the experience by integrating it into the cloud for cross platform functions based on preferences. Thank you so much!
Works a treat! Got rid of that dreaded camera shutter sound.
I would recommend this app on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 especially for my camera sound settings.
Stop working when I update to 5.1.1 TW stock Rom.
I rooted GT-N7105T for the sake of muting the camera sounds. I muted all camera sounds except the touch-focus beep. It was finally removed by this App [enable 'Add Shutter Sound Menu']. Sub-Symbols on keyboard is awesome as I have been missing this feature since coming from HTC phones.
