A user has found that access to RAM is basically unrestricted in the stock kernel for exynos 4 devices, including our version of the Note 2.
At the thread there is a terminal technique to check if you are vulnerable.
Anyone on a custom kernel: If you could run the commands and post whether your kernel is safe or not that would be extremely helpful.
In the meantime, be extremely careful installing apps, as this bug requires no special permissions.

Installed the apk toggle on my phone.
Works, but fix will break camera. Use toggle to turn off fix and camera works again, just remember to turn back on after taking picture.
Running Jedi 6.1.1 w/ asylumkernel

Also everytime you reboot you will have to re-apply fix.
This is an interesting find!

It has been reported this breaks the camera on certain devices(gs3 and I believe the note 10.1) but not the note 2.

Just a quick sanity check here. You said installed. Did you run the app and have it 'fix it'. I can install and not have any problems with my camera just breaks after I fix it.
Would also be useful if we post what rom and kernel used so we can compare what works and what doesn't.
Thanks.

An OTA fix has been released for UK SG3s. That suggests progress, so hopefully our N2s won't be far behind.
http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/03/samsung-exynos-security-update/
I haven't looked at the link but if its what I think it is u can use the app to root also if those haven't been rooted and also patch the exynos. The thread I've read it did break camera if u where on the latest update but not the one before . I hope Samsung n Att release a update that will fix this for our note 2 soon just careless on their part that there is even a security hole to begin with.

So I've tried multiple AOSP roms and it seems with every one I try I have issues with either the play store crashing or Google+ crashing on me constantly. It's really annoying and I can't seem to figure out why it's happening. I've tried downloading multiple gapps packages, multiple times, and on multiple connections. I've checked md5s and everything comes up good. I need to figure this out cause I want my battery life back! Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The only thing can be is that you need to make sure if it's JB 4.1.2 or 4.2 depending on the type of rom other than that you should be fine.

So if using 4.2.2 roms then which gapps package should I be using?

4.2 gapps

I don't think that's it since I've tried using the ones provided by the developer, but I will check. Thanks. It wouldn't have anything to do with firmware would it?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
If you flash the rom and it boots and everything works then it's not the bootloader. The bootloader would not allow it to boot. If google is what's crashing it has to be your gapps.

Thanx a lot bro. I went a redownloaded everything and checked md5s on ROM, kernel, and gapps and everything is working flawlessly.

I have posted in the ViPER4Android forum, but really hoping that a fellow Nexus 4 user who has V4A working on their phone can help me out.
I have pushed the V4AFX and V4AHiFi .apk files to /system/app and changed the permissions to rw-r--r--, rebooted, and loaded up V4AFX, insatlled the "CortexA8 with Neon" driver, rebooted again, but now I am stuck in a "need to install/update driver" loop where every time I load V4AFX it just tells me I need to install the driver.
I'm running Paranoid Android on 4.2.2 with AK/Faux kernel.
You should really have a backup before doing this.
Try entering safe mode with volume up on the boot animation, I do not know if this will work on custom ROMs but it is worth a try.
Out of curiosity, Where did you find Paranoid Android?

Do you in fact know what ViPER4Android is? It's not something you flash
Anywho, I have an older version of PA from here: (I'm not using 4.3, but I'm using 4.2.2)

I know, I am saying that you still need to backup if you are doing anything which will do anything major.
I had a feeling that it used to be in that thread, can't they just make an other thread? :s
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
You don't need to have it as a system app. Have you tried just trying installing it as a normal apk?
So, after attempting it about a million times, I seem to have gotten it to work.. No idea how though, so if anyone else is having issues, I can't really help.. Sorry :\ This can be closed!

Hi. Thought I'd share this link I found on G+ with you guys. It's an unofficial build of cm11(KitKat) for T Mobile Galaxy Note 2. I own the Att I317 but I'm going to give this a try later. I believe this should work on my device also.

Use newest version of normal non touch cwm. Also use full paranoid android gapps for KitKat to get everything working. You will not have cell service if you do not use cwm.

I had switched to TWRP because my current ROM didn't flash right in CWM.
Guess if I want to try this, I'll have to go back. I haven't used a CM based ROM in a while. Anyone here using it?

Everything seems to work except Art. A few cm features built in. Seems stable and smooth.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk
is this a similar build to the one dw9906 posted? cause im running that and it almost perfect, however the camera FC sometimes, rotation is kinda sticky and flash isnt loading on my xscope browser.
everything else seems pretty solid so far.
EDIT: i guess it is the same build.
Camera hasn't fc on me yet. Rotation seems fine here. Haven't tried flash yet. Don't know if it's the same build. I tried looking for a Cm11 build before I posted this and didn't see one. I must of missed it.

I'm getting an invalid device type "t03g" on my SGH-T889 "a3lsght889. This is the correct device type from what I am reading, why am I getting an error?
Also saw a post that said something about the t03g being a clone? Now im worried about fraud on this device. Anyone have any info on this being a fraud or was that one post just misleading? Its labeled as a Samsung note 2 nd all software shows its a Samsung Note2 and all CWM and rotting images worked fine so far.
Do I need to do something special to get it to install? Any info is appreciated.
Edit: It seems the t03g was due to using that devices as a recovery my mistake from another thread. I used Rom manager to install the correct CWM and it was fine after that. Just FYI if people need it.
Thanks,

Art (android run time) is supposed to help speed up android apps and processes. Faster boot, app launching, tasks, scrolling, loading, etc. In the future it may replace dalvik. Right now its in developmental stage.

Hello Everyone,
Since it looks like I will be stuck on OTA 4.3 version for awhile,I might as well play with it for awhile... I was just wondering what would be the best way to de-bloat this sucker? I am rooted already and have CWM 6.0.4.3 installed. Has there been a script developed already like Ashman's for this new version?
Thank you in advance!

Also, make sure you make a nandroid backup before you delete any system files with titanium. There is no other way to go back if you delete the wrong app and/or softbrick.

I have found as others have if you turn off Paper Artist that Gallery force closes when you attempt to share a picture. Not sure if using Tibu will cause the same issue, I haven't re-rooted yet. You may want to test if you got rid of Paper Artist. Just a thought.
