Guys, my cellphone is literally dragging my battery out!!! after I installed v17 It does not even last 12 hours and with only 3 hours screen time on. I am using stock kernel, but can't figure out what's causing this major battery drain.

I use Cosmos app, have screen brightness set to 40% and battery saving mode on.

I come from Alliance rom but have never had such a terrible battery performance?

Maybe the battery/charger is to be changed?

Any clues/solutions??

Thanks a lot

Did you install 4.2 camera?

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Simone:
Yes you can flash it right away. Do a FULL wipe.

Be aware that changing to older modems is tricky as it does not allow it by the new base.

That's the only downside :)

I too, panicked by the battery drain. Just let the new installed ROM settle down :)

No problems when changing kernels.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Ethan501:
noob question.. i want to update from V16, redpill v1.47 to V17. shall i do a full wipe? if i do a full wipe, kernel will be on stock? will my signal be lost? if ever no signal, should i change to previous stock kernel, change it to older modem and back to latest stock kernel? thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
Full wipe is preferred.

Changing or upgrading to v 17 will be stock kernel XXDME6 and stock mode. XXDME4.

You can change kernels but you cannot change modems. This is the only limitation of the new Samsung firmware.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Basil 123:
Interesting that the rom doesnt allow changing the modem easily - I wonder what the logic is behind this?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] griny:
I f you want to flash a new base rom base on XXDME4 modem , before you do that backup your EFS , is a thread about this , other way you want be able to go back to older modem and you will have to useonly this modem .

Hi, I'm testing this Rom with the Saber Kernel: for now I have great feelings that show to me a way to understand why the Omega community is so big all over the world :good:

I notice a problem: when I open the stock video player, I can't see the motion anticipations of the videos. They are fixed and they have movements only when I active the Airview with the S-Pen.

What can I do?

Thanks for the attention.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Simone:
It's the fault of the new modem not the ROM.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
Better yet. Modem + firmware fault my dear fellows. Omega is perfect.

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
More info needed. What rom did you come from?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] vuralemre:
thx..

i came from moon rom v7
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Basil 123:
I wasn't trying to ascribe any blame - just wondering what logic if any was behind Samsung's programming things this way.

Omega roms are the best stock-like ones, and I've tried many.

Hello...

My phone has correct imei.

When i see *#06# , i see the correct imei. No problem.

But i can not call or send a message.

And no internet connection.

I try to flash another rom but unfortunately never get back the network..

Everyone can call me, but it is not seen on my phone.

When i swich it off, anybody can not call me.

But i can not call. Only energency calls.

I will be crazy. I have been trying for 8 hours.

Pls help me...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] ROX77:
I don't think this is correct, because the new firmware is going definitely to modify the efs folder, and since that moment it will be compatible only with that modem.

There is no way to come back if you don't have a previous backup of efs folder (and normally it's not backed up by nandroid backup).

So, even if you restore a full nandroid backup you will have a fault imei, and you can't solve without an efs backup. Fortunately I had an old efs backup and I restored it by terminal emulator, so I can come back to V16, Perseus and my preferred modem.

I think that the efs folder would never be modified, so I can't understand if it's a bug of the new firmware or not, but for now I don't "like" this update.

I used Omega V17. I want to restore stock rom for claim my phone with samsung shop.

After I flashed stock rom "N7100XXDME1_N7100OLBDMD2_THL.zip", download from Sammobile, my IMEI was changed.

And my phone cannot use. Cannot call anyone, 3G is not connect. Cannot restore efs also.

So I try to flash Omega v17 back, my IMEI come back and can use my phone.

Please help me. How can I restore this stock rom with maintain my imei?

i am using gmail to collect my other email accounts but i only can choose my gmail account as sender not the configured accounts and aliases...?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] saldawop:
Mine is the same.Minimum of one reboot a day ( I restored the bootup sound, so I hear it when it happens).

Happened to me on v3 too (I didnt do a full wipe when I installed v3,so maybe that was an issue?)

Before installing v4 I did a full wipe, wiped cache and dalvik cache...two times each.

Icons should be changed inside APKs. You must make the theme to replace them.

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Pinnacle74:
I would suggest, since it has been confirmed by several people over the past days, that YOU, yes indeed, YOU starts to follow this small advice BEFORE changing/flashing/etc. ANYTHING with/on your phone:

1. ALWAYS read the first page in the thread, this page contains the OP and important instructions/information posts (which is usually the second and/or third post in the thread), this is crucial and it will at least save you a lot of headache, or you may end up with a quite expensive paperweight.

2. ALWAYS read the last 5-10 pages, yes I know there is a lot of text to read but again it will at least save you a lot of headache, or you may end up with a quite expensive paperweight.

3. ALWAYS make sure you have both a fresh nandroid backup and a backup of your efs as this will at least save you a lot of headache, or you may end up with a quite expensive paperweight.

Now, if you are thinking: "WTF is nandroid backup??!? WTF is efs backup?!!?! WTF is this guy talking about?!?" then use the very very good search function and read, read, read, read, read and ask questions in the right place, then read again, this will at least save you a lot of headache, or you may end up with a quite expensive paperweight.

If you would have followed these small steps it:

a. would have saved you a lot of headache and

b. you would not have ended up with a quite expensive paperweight (worst case scenario).

Yes yes, things can obviously go wrong anyway and it's never risk free to change/flash/ect. anything unofficial with/on your phone and I assume we all know this, if not you do now which will at least save you a lot of headache, and you will probably not end up with a quite expensive paperweight.

before omega v17, i could use it.

before flashing v17 i ve done nandroid backup and efs backup.

i installed it. opened. no problem. but never network comes. i restore the IMEI (efs). IMEI comes (*#06# then IMEI is ok).

but again never calls never messages, only emergency calls.

what can i do? what do i need for get back the network???

pls help me..

which info of my phone do you need to help me?

i installed original firmware, i have restored the efs and success but never network comes.

what can i do?

for example, change the modem? but which modem? also IMEI works.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
Hi Omega fellows.

This is very important. So please pay attention.

If you are on earlier omega version, earlier than v17. And you didn't flash v17 yet. You Must backup efs and nandroid your current rom.

Backups should be somewhere safe, ex: PC or functional external SD.

SO, let's get started...

1) Backup / Nandroid your current ROM including EFS if you are on earlier base such as XXDME1 or XXDMC3, etc...

2) Backup your EFS folder from / to somewhere safe.

3) Backup your EFS img as in steps below: thx to Dr.Ketan.

4) Now you have your Nandroid and EFS backups.

Good LUCK :)

i came from moon rom

i have made an efs backup, now IMEI looks while press *#06#

but only emergency calls.

why? maybe because of modem?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
The theme backs up the stock theme before it theme your rom. The back up you have should be the one to revert to stock look.

Did you do a full wipe.? Full wipe and factory reset and then installing omega with its default modem should give you network access.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] paras:
Thanks so much bro can u tell me where can i find this backup so i can delete it.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
I really don't remember exactly but it should be in your internal sd card. Vrtheme folder or morphology folder
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] paras:
bro found vrtheme and its just 171 mb there should be some other file that it must had made? should i go ahead and delete it?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
If you are sure you don't want to revert back to stock theme, you can delete the contents of this folder.

To be sure what's consuming the space, go to settings/storage/miscellaneous

And check there.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] paras:
i just wiped the earlier one and did a clean install of omega v17 and i wont be messing around with anything new for a while.So should i just delete? and in misc i checked and in app_manager in internal storage there is a user_apps which is 1.40 gb so could this be?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
As i said my friend. If you don't need to revert to stock theme, delete vrtheme-backup folder contents.

User apps are your installed applications.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] paras:
bro ill just list some apps that take up space these are the folders and space to take so please advice which ones would be the ones to delete.

0 (yah just 0 folder)- 1.72 gb

aura - 488 mb

share via flasher - 422 mb

cloudagent - 326mb

please let me know if u think i should delete something
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
0 folder? Have you earlier been on aosp 4.2.2 rom?

Other folder names seem to be app names. Don't delete their contents.

Cloudeagent is samsung sync. So don't.

Just install sd maid app and let it advise you.

Hi Guys

I have here a kind of emergency

Installed v17 a week ago coming from v16

Everything was working fine

Now this morning a made a reboot because I was on the way to the airport and wanted to have a fresh booted system

Ending up in a bootloop

I was able to enter recovery and flashed v17 again but no change - still bootloop

Installed v16

But also bootloop

Finally I reinstalled my backup of v16 which was a week old and system was booting

But I cannot make calls now

I have not restored my efs position yet

Is this also necessary to get the phone back to work?

I saw a number of posts about the problem with the new modem but thought if I flash v16 with the old kernel and modem it should work?

Please drop a note

Many thanks

Dingolino

Ps a.c. full wipe is not possible at the moment because I need the data on the phone for the next 10 while traveling

Wi-Fi is working - that's why I can send this note out...

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Kapetan:
Should full wipe mean that everything on int sd card is erased?

I was doing full wipe with very first v16 installation and I got a 4 gb "0" folder on int sd which I had to selectively erase to free up the space.

I have a kind of feeling that "full wipe" should be implemented better in installation.

What I am saying, if I choose full wipe, that means that I don't have to handle back up later, I want everything wiped before installation.

Appropriate Back Up is user concern, not of the developer, so letting folder "0" with everything else that was on sd card before the installation is not necessary.....!?

Yes, the last 10 pages are only issue for this last firmware. Even for me v17 worked, but to come back you have to pray. So for me an update (even the original) that is going to modify the efs folder in this way, is a fault.

Yesterday I upgraded a note 2 totally original with the new original firmware. After 2 days the user has no more signal. So for me something is wrong.
