On Mods that work with Cleanrom 4.0.5 ...

In case anyone is interested, I've been using the Xposed framework to run most apps at 280 dpi for a few days and everything seems to be working great. Possibly a minor battery hit is only downside - not absolutely sure (1% extra per 8 hours?). I followed this thread initially http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2068769 which has download links, screenshots and a procedure to install on the Note 2, but it ate my battery alive so I messed around and ended up simplifying the procedure (I don't install the "Tweekbox" whose "tweeks" are incompatible with the Note 2 anyway).

I only installed 2 files: Xposed Framework Installer APK and Xposed App Settings. After installing the former you have to open its app and use it to actually install the framework and to enable the App settings module. You can then use any root text editor to change the build.prop setting for the ro.sf.lcd_density (I used 280 as 260 seemed too small for me). Then use the Xposed Settings App to keep (set) various system apps at 320 dpi so they don't freak out (Phone, Contacts, etc - follow Zathu's guide for the list). Reboot. If you use the stock Samsung keyboard, you must download and flash the multi dpi modded version or you get continuous errors (again check Zathu's thread for the link). It's a brilliant mod originally developed by rovo89 (original thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1574401&highlight=battery), very simple to install.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ZackFearheart:
A question for you all, That Google didn't answer.

In my pursuit to keep my battery life maxed, and performance maxed.. I cannot seem to find a way, or if it's even possible to TRULY close out an app when I'm done with it. Like for instance, Done with PowerAMP... It's still showing up in the Task manager. And "Clear RAM" What does it do?

Anyways.

Love the ROM Scott, Best so far and made my Note 2, 10x better than what it was. So far no known issues for me. Only thing I have noticed is sometimes my LED doesn't work for some notifications, Despite it being selected.. And sometimes FlashLight toggle FCs the whole phone.

I also wanna know what more tweaks I can do to this ROM to get it to max. I didn't change my kernel or modem yet (Afraid to do so, honestly)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] goomerguy:
This worked perfectly for me, many thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ndesent:
THANKS!!!!!!!!!!

uninstalling and reinstalling worked.... Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] PRBajista:
I remember having the same issue with poweramp running in the background all the time. Disabling the earphone plug sensor in the settings took care of it running all the time. (You'd think that they would tell you that it runs all the time if you leave that on). Anyway I did no tweaks or changing of kernels and pretty much left it "as is" and I got as much as 1 day 15hrs and 36 mins with 10% battery left and 5 hrs screen time. Again all I mainly did is turn off data when I wasnt using it on the road but I left wifi on all the time (except when sleeping) when I was home and I still got that much battery life. I think scott already has this set up "to the max". Great rom though.

I use DSP MANAGER which if I'm correct is the same as beats audio..It's works fine with the ROM.

This rom is perfection, everything is more than perfect. battery life, smooth as f***, fast and clean ! My favorite so far ! good job !
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ZackFearheart:
Wow. That battery life.. How is yours better than mine? I even had less screen-on time... I was at 1D 10hours when I was at 11% battery... I guess because I leave Data on 24/7 since I email alot from my phone.

Question. I've frooze (Even deleted) some of the basic apps that I don't use or need, would that affect battery life? I don't get any errors, or freezes. I've deleted stuff like Gallery, Allshare, Calculated, Froze alot of the live wallpapers (SInce I don't use them) frooze some widgets and stuff.

And wasn't DSP manager in CyanongenMod? I remember it being, but can't find that specific app on the Play Market.

And how the hell do I change the Lock screen wallpaper? I can only change it to the ones built it, and not an image of my own like I can the Home screens wallpaper.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] riassan:
Re: [ROM][1/5] CleanROM ACE 4.0.5 -★| Handcrafted with Pride! | Bulletproof! |★-

DSP manager was yes, and use quickPic for wallpaper issue

If your looking for a great sound mod I can recommend one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ZackFearheart:
I use QuickPic for my gallery replacement. It only gives me the option for contact and Main screen wallpaper.

I would like that, Something preferably that works globally. I use Digitally Imported radio which does not have an EQ of any sort and it sounds rather flat.

I literally had to turn my screen timeout to 10 minutes and let the phone sit on my desk for like 4 hours when I got home to try and kill the battery lol i took these and the phone is still going strong.

Hey guys first off I love this Rom I was wondering if there is a way to get the stock Rogers lte icon instead of the at&t 4glte? Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
Yes and yes...

Pretty good!

Good deal!

No, that is a much better way than using TIB!

Clear RAM kills programs like power amp when you are done.

Most apps will exit.. sometimes... if you just keep tapping the back button to exit it. Most people dont know that and just hit home and the app still runs.

I do. Why do you need it? PM if you have download issues.

I like it when people uyse the word ****, in a good way, when describing my ROMs :good:

Thats good ****!

That looks tight!

You and your pocket monster :p

Nope.

Been stupid busy at work...

No time off this month... including weekends...

I thought I would share this with you guys, it's an ultimate de-bloater for stuff like live wallpaper called MrRobinson Debloater (from the intl'l note 2), removes quite a bit of stuff through an Aroma Installer. All you do, flash the file, run the installer, re-boot. XDA Member UrbanLagoon reccomended this to me as it had saved him battery life. Big thanks to him

If you can get Scott to send you a vectorized image of his avatar, take it to any Decal shop and have them make.

That's actually not a bad business idea for Scott, I'm sure he'd sell quite a few

I am not sure if this has been brought up before .....

SO far this ROM has been great, no freezes or crashes and battery life is very good.

One thing I have an issue with and not sure if it is this ROM or something else is that my WIFI connects fine to std but to the 5 GHZ setting it will only connect if I select it manually.

Even if it is the only saved option it won't connect unless manually chosen.

Any ideas?

No worries Bro ,hopefully you can fit in some relaxation time in there too with all that work stuff.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bendsley:
I had this issue as well with version 3.x something of this rom. I noticed one day that there was an AT&T version of this rom and changed to it. Well, everything worked on it fine (talking about connecting automatically to the 5ghz band when in range). I ended up going back to the 4.0 or 4.01 version of this rom and my phone would stay connected without issue to the 5ghz band. I am currently on the 4.0.5 without issue.

Versions 1.x and 2.x seemed to work find for me. I went to 3.x and lost the ability to automatically connect to access points on 5ghz band after they had already been remembered. We to AT&T specific rom and then it started working again. Came back to 4.x of this rom and it's still working.

I have sometimes completely deleted the cache and files; other times I have just installed the rom over the current one.

My suggestion would be to download this latest rom, clear every cache you can in recovery and then install this rom.

Hope this helps.

Cool!

I kanged it off the internet... and some friend of mine changed it to CR in the logo instead of what it was. All I have is a 100x100px of it.

I dont know if you can work with it but here it is:

These are some possibilities...

I would try goomerguy's first as it is easiest... But I am sure this problem has to do with the fact that this ROM is carved from Int base and not US base.

One last thing to try is to wipe internal storage too.

That would be cool! Way cool!

Its a ***** reverse engineering the mess they make of these ROMS ;)

Re: [ROM][1/5] CleanROM ACE 4.0.5 -★| Handcrafted with Pride! | Bulletproof! |★-

I made the mistake of flashing the "generic stock statbar" before making a backup. Is there something I can flash again to just add the notification bar that came with CleanROM? In looking the through the forums, I keep reading that some of them keep showing an at&t logo, which it not what I want. To put it simply...can I get back just the toggles that came with this rom or do I need to start from scratch just to get that back? Thanks

Hi Scott, would it be possible to have a choice to select GSM/HSPA in network mode for my Rogers i317m? I've been using your Stock Rooted De-Odex L7 Base ROM dated 12/26/2012 and the Rogers L7 Patch.zip you have provided in that ROM allows me to make that selection (i.e. GSM/HSPA) - see attached screenshot

Unfortunately flashing that patch on the 4.0.5 ROM only gives me a choice of LTE/GSM/CDMA or either GSM or CDMA. I've tried flashing the Rogers.zip that I found on this thread with the same result.

Thank you again for all your hard work in making the Note 2 experience absolutely amazing.

[Update: easy fix - add separate non- LTE APN settings for Rogers and enable those when you want to force the data to HSPA+]

5Ghz WiFi Connectivity With CleanROM ACE 4.0.5

Using CleanROM ACE 4.0.5, I got 5Ghz WiFi to automatically connect to my NETGEAR R6300 by changing to channel 48. Channels 161 and 149 would not automatically connect.

In order to get most out of your CR-powered Note II WiFi connectivity, here are some home/SoHo WiFi tips:

Configure WiFi router or access point to use WPA2-PSK (AES). Some have an option to work with both AES and TKIP. Don't use this unless the AES-only configuration doesn't work because some of your devices don't support it.

Use inSSIDer available for both Android devices and desktops to find out what channels your neighbors' WiFi base stations use, and pick different ones.

If you have more than one WiFi base station, set them each on a different channel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Romee74:
Re: [ROM][1/5] CleanROM ACE 4.0.5 -★| Handcrafted with Pride! | Bulletproof! |★-

You should be able to "dirty" flash the rom and get it back. I would make a backup first just in case though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] krwkenn:
Compare the configuration files in /system/etc/wifi/ from the International ROM to an AT&T ROM and you'll see there are differences. Mind you, I'm not having any issues with Wi-Fi after changing the channel on my router and the scaling type it was using (I'm running DD-WRT and had it set to cubic instead of vegas, oddly enough I wasn't able to watch YouTube videos on the phone without it taking forever to buffer and changing this somehow magically fixed it).

The list of files you'd be looking for:

nvram_mfg.txt

nvram_mfg.txt_murata

nvram_mfg.txt_murata_b2

No need to fix what isn't broken, IMO. I'm using the stock files from the International ROM here in Canada with no issues on 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz (and what I thought might have been caused by a difference in these files turned out to be an issue with my router).

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] angieutc:
I have been using the AT&T SE edition and absolutely love it! However, the international edition is too tempting not to try out! Before I take the leap:

1. How do you reflash? Do I do a factory reset BEFORE i start up goomanager or do everything from there?

2. If I choose AT&T, will aroma give me a list of software choices like visual voicemail?

3. To those who have AT&T, why stay with international over SE?

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ZackFearheart:
If you're phone is already rooted, It's the same has when you installed the current rom. Factory reset, (To be thorough like I am) clear Dalvik, Data, and system. Then flash. (If I am misreading your post, please someone correct me)

I use it on m,y AT&T Note 2, You will have to go into the play market and download AT&T Visual Voicemail. It does work. Unless you're talking about another visual Voicemail.

This ROM had alot of good reviews, plus I'm trying to stay away from anything AT&T branded.

That would also be my general recomendation for any flashing gone bad :good:

Can anyone confirm if this is how things are for them too or if somehow I messed up my Snote?

When I was stock when I was on homescreen and I pulled out my Spen it would pop up its own spen home screen. In the middle of this screen would be an option to list or create a new note from the template.

It seems that is now gone. The page is there with a list of icons to launch on the bottom, but the middle part of the screen is just a dark tranparent area.

If this is not how it is for everyone on this ROM would anyone know how I can reenable that or restore some app database etc that must have contained that feature that got wiped prior to flashing this ROM?
