[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] SC23:
Another awesome rom! Thank you OP!

Quick question:

I usually flash using cwm and never had any issue at all with every new rom flashed. But now I want to start using twrp instead. Do I have to somehow get rid of cwm first before I install twrp?

Also, can I flash the 1% battery mod on this rom and if yes can you point me where to get one?

Thank you.

Just don't forget to redo your most important back up. TWRP is much better in my opinion. It caused me less hassles.

Something that has been bothering me for a very long time. How do I change the alarm clock tone? I don't see an option to change it to something that won't lull me to sleep.

Is that an auxiliary battery case? for the note 2?

....but-but...why.

Also, if you don't mind, post a link and your experience with it thus far.

I'm still looking for a truly waterproof case for the note 2, I'm just curious what you have to say about this.

I got adb installed, but when I run adb devices, with my device connected via usb, and usb debugging enabled, it does not list my device.

My Windows Finder seers the device fine. Wondering if that is the problem, that the Finder is accessing the device.

Anyway, my Window of play time is past four the day. Will try more when I have an opportunity

Hey, go one page back and try this script. See if it has the same mount issues. Like I said in the post... its the same script but an older version with slightly different variables. Let me know how it goes... adb is picky with drivers make sure they install the adb ones specifically. Just try the script first. Might save you some time;)

Didnt she say she got it from someone? Meaning it wasnt from amazon or something. It is very cool but I dont trust those chargers plus I like my case way too much.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mr. Moe:
Still have a couple issues.

1. Notification mainly SMS does not work. I get the icon but no sound notification.

2. How do you get rid of the sms notification icon. Once I read a message the icon stays in the status bar.

3. Where is the writing pad when I pull out the Spen I don't get the writing pad anymore.

Side note: nice battery life so far
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] psycho4us4:
Your writing pad had to be enabled in settings under spen. As for the notification stuff idk

Just flashed this rom last night with my other (galaxy note 2 tmobile) first ever rom coming from stock rooted, and its super smooth..big thumbs up to dev.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] fullcourtpress9:
I think I know what you're talking about.

1. Go to Settings, then click 'Language and input'

2. Next to Samsung Keyboard, click on the little settings icon (see screenshot).

3. Make sure the 'Pen Detection' box is check marked.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mr. Moe:
That worked thanks.

What theme are you using I like the dark background
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sino8r:
I don't think you can turn off the icon. I remember trying a while back since I use SMS popup. Do you use a 3rd party text app as well? Could be why the icon remains. The sound should work though... I assume you rechecked your notification sound in the settings of messaging app? Sometimes after flashing a new version of the ROM... The sound can be checked to silent by itself. If all fails, clear data and chance from the messages app (back up your texts first in the settings or via 3rd party) and all should be well!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] fullcourtpress9:
No problem.

Here is themes thread and be sure to read flashing instructions:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] zuckerj:
Ok, got root explorer all figured out with ES File Explorer.

Replaced the swap script with the one you gave me and rebooted.

It failed to map my 64GB SD Card to sdcard0. Resulted in both sdcard0 and extSdCard being mapped to phone's internal memory. Lol.

I put back the original JM18 swap script into /etc/init.d and rebooted. Now I have the same behavior as before -> after boot both sdcard0 and extSdCard are mapped to 64GB SD Card. After boot, if I go to settings and unmount extSdCard, then click mount again, extSdCard gets mapped to phone's internal memory.

I'm going to go and compare the current swap script with the one you gave me and ser if I can figure out what is missing.

Thanks!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sino8r:
Are you using exfat sdcard? Hey check your pm. I figured it out...

Try this one... But yeah like I said in the pm... Its supposed to double mount it at those points. The internal is pointed to /data/media folder. This version should just do the normal internal/sdcard swap. Let me know how it goes;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] zuckerj:
Nope. Same thing happens with this new file as happened when I tried using the old swap from the older ROM, essentially both sdcard0 and extSdCard are pointing to the phone's internal memory.

Went back to the JM18 version and all is well, after my unmount and remount of course.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] FarReach:
I got really flash happy today and I set up this bad boy and I noticed something that was an issue for me on JM16 and even on 14 I believe. The auto sync toggle doesn't show it turn on or off. I have to long press it so it opens up settings and I manually turn it on/off. I flashed the red theme, now that I think about it I'm sure I was running themes on the past builds. Is that why or has this been an issue for other people too? Sorry for asking if it's been mentioned. I haven't been keeping up with this thread for a bit Unfortunately
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sino8r:
Okay first things first... I looked at the one from Master 18 and it IS supposed to point internal AND external to sdcard. That's how its designed. The older script just swapped their places (external & internal). The newer one (from JM18) points your true internal to data/media folder. This method makes way less errors from what I've noticed. So what you're describing is normal. One question though: is your sdcard formated to fat32 or exfat? If its exfat that is probably the reason why the old script won't point correctly and list both as internal. I hope this clarifies things for you...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] zuckerj:
It is exfat.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sino8r:
Well that's it then. Thats why the old one doesnt work right. But not a huge lost. At least you know where your internal is now on JM18's script. I hope that all makes sense! Best way to navigate to the folders and see for yourself how it goes. Especially everything is how it should be but internal just in /data/media folder plus your memory is swapped. Do you see what I mean? Unless you wanna format your card to fat32 but I mean the swap works so there's no point unless some essential app is acting up or something. Any errors that concern you?

I modified the old one. It should work. Enjoy! It should just swap the internal & external. No weird obscure folders. I still think ptmr3s revision is better because there's less errors with place of downloads, camera pics, etc... but you can pick which works best. Enjoy!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] zuckerj:
No errors.

I still don't understand why it doesn't map /data/media to extSdCard as stated in the script until after I manually unmount and remount ExtSdCard.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sino8r:
Its still swapping them but with both listed as sdcard... Less errors for apps. Its less convenient until you get an error lol! You can still navigate to data/media to play or use whatever file. Most media apps allow remapping storage locations. Either way, I modded the old one for you a couple posts ago. Enjoy
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mr. Moe:
No third party apps, just the sms/mms app in the ROM. Still haven't gotten the sms/mms sound to work. All other notifications work, but nothing for sms/mms. I installed ROM from a clean sweep. Full wipe of all. This is the first time i have had the notification sound issue.

Will try a data dump of the app and see what happens.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] zuckerj:
It seems to me that a possible answer here is that the command to bind /data/media to the location /storage/extSdCard is being issued after the SD Card has already been mounted/bound to that location (/storage/extSdCard) prior to the script being executed.

This may be the reason the bind command in the swap script does not become active until the extSdCard is unmounted then on mounting extSdCard again the bind takes effect.

Just hypothesizing. If this is true, perhaps a simple umount command on /data/media (or would the umount be on /storage/extSdCard?) before the swap script executes the "mount -o bind /data/media /storage/extSdCard" ?

Any one out there with knowledge on this stuff have an opinion? I'm not prepared to start experimenting on these commands on my own yet without some backing. ;)

This is more of an exercise at this point as I am perfectly fine doing an unmount and remount once per boot to get my internal and external memory storage locations in order.

I'm more curious than anything else, and I like solving puzzles.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sino8r:
Do you try that last one I edited? Did it work? As far as the bind goes. Yeah it just points to a location that's a specific mount point in the device. If you look through root explorer or what ever file explorer... You'd see there are a quite a few. For example mnt, storage, sdcard, data/media. Those are all points one could bind to with a script swap. But youre right the bind command is the last one in the script. The old script I sent you does point them the extsdcard. I just completely understand how these work after fiddling with them trying to help you. I'm sorry I'm not great at explaining these especially since I just grasped the concept myself lol! The best advice I could give because it sounds like your a visual personal as well is to just open the script with notepad and view all those mount points I mentioned. As I said earlier I really like the double redirects to sdcard because the errors are minimal with apps like camera and internet. I hope that helps! And yes, I do wish someone with more knowledge on this would jump in lol! I'd rather play with smali than this:p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] vebulous:
I still believe the original swapscript in JM18 is good enough. The one you supplied is missing some chmod's and chown's at the end (things that would relegate your swapped partition unusable without constant root access. Things market apps don't always do).

Here's what we know:

1. The script works after a reboot

2. Then it stops working after an arbitrary amount of time.

3. An unmount/remount of the 64gb microSD card fixes this indefinitely until another reboot

Proposition:

1. delay the swapscript for a whole minute. Hopefully all of the other scripts do their thing.

2. after mount root as rw, unmount and remount 64gb microSD card using 'mount' command

3. continue remainder of script as per usual.

Lemme see if i can cook up a working script this time.

Unfortunately, I don't want to mod my setup to accommodate for the swapscript (i use Link2SD to achieve a more streamlined effect) so zuckerj will have to be the guinea pig.

EDIT1: Can you give us a list of installed apps you have?

EDIT2: With the implementation of MTP, why can't we ditch olde M$ filesystems and adapt good old ext2/3/4?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] zuckerj:
Sure, I'll have to compile the list (if you have an easy method for this please share).

Also, I may have mis-spoke regarding the script working for a short time. My last 4 or 5 reboots all result in BOTH sdcard0 and extSdCard pointing to my 64GB SD Card right after boot.

As I mentioned in my previous note to sino8r, seems to me that the "mount -o bind /data/media /storage/extSdCard" is being applied, but not modifying the current mount of "/storage/extSdCard" that was applied prior to this script running. This possibly accounts for the behavior of the proper binding of "/data/media" to "/storage/extSdCard" happening only after I umount "/storage/extSdCard" (via the unmount command in the settings menu) then mount the extSdCard again.

Again, just a hyptohesis that I'm curious what ya think about. My proposal is umounting that bind to /storage/extSdCard prior to applying the "mount -o bind /data/media /storage/extSdCard" in the swap script.

Happy to be a guinea pig. Curious if anyone else out there is trying to use the swap and is experiencing this issue. Can't just be me. :cool:

Also, I am capable of applying mods to the swap script directly, given suggestions.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] vebulous:
Okay. If that's the case: try this (its easier for me to just write it out than explain it)

sleep 60
mount -o remount,rw /
umount /[COLOR="red"]storage[/COLOR]/extSdCard
mount -o bind /data/media /storage/extSdCard
sleep 30
mount -t [COLOR="Red"]vfat[/COLOR] -o umask=0000 /dev/block/vold/179:49 /storage/sdcard0
chmod 777 /mnt/extSdCard
sleep 10
chown 1023:1023 /storage/extSdCard
chown 1000:1000 /storage/sdcard0

Basically, unmount the external sd card first;

Swap the steps for the mount/bing commands.

Then execute the rest.

note: Its umount not unmount (no un. just u)

---------- Post added at 07:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:27 PM ----------

Wait, there's something wrong with this. I think /mnt/extSdCard needs to be unmounted. Too many mountpoints.

And i forgot to change vfat to exfat
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sino8r:
The one I gave out was the old original one from the creator. It never did have any permissions or root commands. Not sure why they need them anyways but okay that might have been why they were added in the newer versions. Like I was telling the other person, wheniinvestigating these scripts... I realized the one ptmr3 provides is way better. The sleep settings are better, pointing both extsdcard and sdcard0 is way less error prone. When rebooting, internet and camera will often reset preferences and mix up things. Mine has been running way better since using the newer version. As for zuckerj, I did recommend maybe trying link2sd or some other app because its more customizable and easier to use. I'll post the original one here in its entirety. Maybe it will help when comparing the new one. ido remember the original one would occasionally list sdcard as read only. I hope this helps!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] zuckerj:
Yeah, no worries. I'm starting to get enough of the hang of things to realize about vfat and exfat.

And it's good to get samples then I can extrapolate to the appropriate mount point. I'll look this over and try a mix of my own first.

Will let you know what happens.

Here are my apps.

Aside from Tasker and any Tasker-related add-ons, I don't see any other of your userapps potentially messing with startup stuff.

Have you tried getting the swap-script to work after a fresh install (or factory reset)?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] zuckerj:
Tried all kinds of variations in the script. Umount with and without a sleep interval following and swapping the order of mounting sdcard0 and extSdCard.

Nothing seemed to make a difference.

Curious. Does anyone know, specifically, what happens when the unmount command is issued from the settings/storage menu. I'm looking for the specific commands that would be utilized for the process.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] zuckerj:
Ugh.

I saw someone earlier in this thread, or in another related thread, complain that memory Swap didn't work because it would not let you use the entire SD card. I'm now getting hints I'm in for the same experience.

It seems to me that it is going to let me use just under half of the available storage on the card. Actually, I don't know exactly what the limit is being based on, I just know I've used about 23 GB of the SD Card's available 64 GB and now I'm getting pop up warnings that I only have 1.5 GB left available for internal storage.

Why!?! Why would Android make this such a difficult task, having more storage space?

Anyway, I don't know, yet, if these are going to be Phantom warnings, or if the device will cease writing to the card when I reach this apparently arbitrary limit.

If this becomes another issue of using swap, I guess I'm going to join the others that complain memory swap is too wrought with issues to be of any real use. If it is just Phantom warnings, I can deal with that.

Here goes another adventure of the memory swap Guinea Pig.

Edit:

Oh, just an additional note, the storage section of the settings menu shows the card had 35 GB of available space and ES File Explorer says the same.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] vebulous:
looked through some logcats and heres what i found (although this is alien language to me)

too much to post here. see attachment 1

All of this was just to unmount the sd card..........I'm scared now.

I also tried to isolate the mount log

see attachment 2

After that, there's a bunch of entries referring to the internal sd and external sd being called by the mediascanner and mtp (I think unrelated to the actual unmounting and mounting process)

I'll also attach my entire logcat, just for fun (about 6000 lines) in case some one really wants to dive in.

see attachment 3

But as far as seeing a clear and concise piece of code to be able to plug into the swapscript? I don't know, man. This is some heavy stuff (for me at least). This reinforces my opinion that Android is NOT Linux. In no way, shape or form.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] zuckerj:
That's great! Thanks for the logcat of the unmount. It helped. Looks like the main operation here is a "umount /storage/extSdCard" which is really just what I wanted to confirm.

Anyway, I'm putting testing on hold until I discover if the recent pop up warnings of running out of internal storage are just phantom warnings that don't mean anything, or if the filesystem will actually stop me from writing past this apparently arbitrary data limit wall.

The SD Card definitely has the capacity to hold more data, this is potentially completely an OS limitation.

Thanks again! :good:

Oh, for anyone wanting to go through these logcats, a couple tips, that you probably already know, but thought I'd share anyway:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sino8r:
That's really weird. Mine is accurate. Maybe it has something to do with exfat format? I'm using fat 32 on my 64 GB card. I got mine before saber had ex fat support. Could that possibly be the cause of the strange mount issues you have as well? Maybe your card needs repairing or something since it doesn't seem to be an rogue apps or anything else. I'm not sure what else it could be? Sometimes the answer is the most simple explanation....
