[Galaxy Note II Android Development] pitflyer:
I've been running Omega V16 for a while and decided today to update to Omega V18. I did choose the option to backup my EFS during the Aroma installer, and I had a backup from after I had installed Omega V16. When my phone came backup I had bars but no data, which I've had this problem before so I applied the 'ARIZA Patch' ... and since then I have no baseband, no IMEI :(

I've been trying to restore my previous backup and either I'm doing it wrong or its the wrong version. I have efs.tar.gz and efs.img which I've tried to restore over and over no problem. But the question I have, Omega did a backup of my EFS -- but there's no option to restore it, and I don't see it documented *where* it actually backed it up to! I'm guessing there should be an efs.tar.gz somewhere, but I'm not sure where it should be..

Any help?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] ttav:
It should be saved to your internal sdcard.Open efscackup.tar.gz and copy the contents of the efs folder to the efs folder on root.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] pitflyer:
Turns out I don't think my EFS is corrupt. After some searching I saw it created a tar.gz file in sdcard/efs_backup. But that isn't apparently the problem. Because I reflashed Omega V18 and now my network is back, but it won't actually join the network (emergency calls only). My IMEI, baseband and S/N are all OK (and match what the device should have). I've flashed three different modems, wiped, flashed v16 and v18 again, restored my EFS anyway (since I did find the backup, along with older backups from when I first installed v16) and still NOTHING.

My Note II got returned from a company who repaired it from an SDS, and when I got it back it would not register on network either, so I had to run 'ARIZA Patch' on it. But the error seems slightly different this time, before it says 'Not registered on network' now it says 'Emergency Calls Only'. And if I run ARIZA Patch now my connectivity completely disappears (baseband and IMEI goes away), which I understand is because that app hasn't been updated for the new modems.

I did move my SIM to another phone (Nexus 4) and verified everything works fine, so its definitely something that the update did on my phone... grrr, now I'm going to hear it from the iHomers at work when I tell them I broke my super Android phone again.. :(

After one more try with this ROM I'm going to try stock or another custom ROM and see if the problem still appears, if so, then I guess I'll take it to the troubleshooting forum. But everything did work for me on v16, and after trying to upgrade to v18 my mobile connectivity (phone or data) is shot. Fair warning to others...

EDIT: That was a fun four hours! After mashing enough buttons (ie restoring my v16 backup, restoring my EFS, running ARIZA again, sacrificing a chicken) I am back online again on v16. I don't feel like battling with this again today. Will take a new nandroid, titanium backup and efs backup (is there any app that backs up EFS on the Note II? I'm using an ADB tool which works fine but not as convenient as an app) and hit it again later. Whew.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] ttav:
If you use TWRP or PhilZ recoveries you can backup and restore through them.

Also there are a few apps in playstore.

Sorry can't give you any links as i'm at work now for the next 12 hours.

The problem is you can hear some sounds like "pf pf pf pf" - two times per second while I recording video. I have Omega 18

You are right. I just tried. Have the same issue. I don't know why. Let us check further.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Intruder7s:
Hi guys and thanks for the great ROM and the extremelly usefull info you are giving out to everyone.

I never once had to even post here because I already found answers to everything just by using search.

Now though, I do have a question regarding Omega development.

Apart from updating the kernel with newer official ones and adding mods, do you have any plans about new features ( like OTA update ) in the ROM? If so, what are these and when should we expect to see them ?

These are my questions but you don't have to answer them all. Just a simple yes or no to get us excited :P

Feel free to answer any or all of these or just delete this post if you want.

I just wanted to put these questions out there.

P.S. This is not an "ask for ETA" post. I don't care about specifics. Just for a glimpse in the future of my favourite stock-based ROM !
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Andrino:

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
Simple exciting answer:

indie and omega team will not abonden n7100 and sure it will be updated. It is just that we are waiting for a worthwhile firmware to be released.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Andrino:
So what we have to do to solve this problem? Have you any ideas?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] neol23:
Reflash the rom.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Andrino:
I did it but the problem is still
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
I don't know what and why this is happening. I tried another rom with same thing.

I will report to indie.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Intruder7s:
This is what I would do.

Do a full CMW backup and go back to stock.

Stock rom, stock recovery, stock kernel, unroot and basically....stock everything !

If the problem persists then it is a hardware issue. If it is not, root again and try again.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Andrino:
Ok, is there any stock 3-files ROM ? Any recovery help ROM ?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:

The microphone is ultra sensitive to background noise so it isn`t easy to make a completely noise free recording.(Don`t try it after a heavy meal:laugh:)

Have you tried recording from your phone in an empty room?(leave the room and come back after 30secs)

I did a google search and found quite a few YT videos of people with similar problems to yours on various devices.

If you want the stock widget instead of the transparent one, you can download the stock accuweather widget from Omega Files - themes - accuweather, then flash it.

Thanks a lot for the great ROM.

I had the strange problem(not registered on network) while switching from 4.3 to 4.1.2 ROM.

Flasing this ROM with backup efs option in aroma resolved the error 'not registered on network'. (Alternately flashing DMH1 modem also helped)

Though I am not a regular user of this ROM. Really appreciate the great work of clean ROM/install script.

---------- Post added at 01:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:27 PM ----------

i've ever got network using v18. before i just upgraded from v16 to v17 and then v18. it's ok.. but when i reflash with DXDLK5 modem, it's no signal.. then flash back with latest modem, the signal back.

but yesterday, i reflash with stock rom then reflash back with v18, with wiping it all before. after that, i got signal but network problem.. then i flash with other ROM which is the same based rom that omega used. it's the same, network problem..

when i saw, the IMEI was changed to 0049xxx.

i'm very frustated with that.. anyone can give me solution ? that's why i ask if someone who has link for omega v16, i will download and try to reflash it. then upgrade to v18.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] nukeman239:
I know it doesn't matter but I'm getting excellent battery life on this ROM. Much better than stock. I can say this as my usage has been the same on both stock and Omega. Clear difference. I am just not sure if I should flash a custom kernel. If so which one.

Some help is appreciated

Everyone thank u for helping me before.

This isnt related to any problems but i want some reference.

I saw that jellybean roms can utilize offline voice typing and some websites told that it is available only on 4.2 roms but as i saw it on v18 and as v18 is based on 4.1, i wanted to know that hw can i enable it on my micromax a110 which is also running 4.1 but it is not showing the download offline voice language option in google voice typing settings?

Can anyone help me and understand my problem?

I know i shouldnt ask this here but as it is working on v18 in note 2 on 4.1 jellybean, should i add something to make it work?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] AndyBury:
Not sure but I think your talking about this.

Go into settings.

Then go into Language and input

Then go into Google voice typing settings (the gear thing)...

Then go into Offline speech recognition and select required language.

Hope that's what you meant...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Parthalucky:
Yeah

yeah thats correct but in my Micromax A110 the offline speech recognition option doesnt come but in my note 2 it is present.

Thats why i was asking if Mr.Indie has done something to enable this. my note 2 is 4.1.2 and my A110 is on 4.1.1

does that make it a no?

Really wanted to know how it comes.

After flashing a rom if data is on then when we go into the voice typing setting then after sometime then the option to download the offline speech recogniton language pack is present in my note 2 but after hell of trying for a day, i m not able to do it in my A110. Please help me.

I am really grateful to u all for helping me before. Just this once will be really better
