If we are coming from CleanROM 2.0 Stable do we need to completely wipe or can we just flash 3.0 over?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
Your choice...

But remember this... Its going from OS version 4.1.1 to OS version 4.1.2...

You can always make a nandroid and try it...

Worse case scenario... You have to wipe, lol

Great ROM, amazing job, thanks a lot, I have couple of questions:

- Is it possible to add Google Reader to MultiView ?

- Is it possible to install (from previous backup) the MultiView utility (MWC) to customize the apps?

- Is it possible to restore User Apps from Titanium Backup ?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] satans spawn1972:
Nice to see an update as these ROMs have always been fantastic!

I tried to flash this using TWRP and choosing S4 voice and also had the freezing like others. As soon as I retried the flash using Note2 S voice it worked.

Thanks for all of the great work!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 2545:
What keyboard did you select? I selected the stock samsung keyboard with S4 voice this time and all worked fine. Makes me wonder?

All - Are most of you using the default kernel that comes with ACE? I'be been using the perseus kernel but it erases the boot animation. I do like the new custom boot animation of ACE. After using the perseus with 4.9, I don't know if there are much benefits vs the stock. Thoughts?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] satans spawn1972:
I chose all of the keyboards as I like to switch from time to time. I flashed this ROM with TWRP and was coming from STOCK AT&T.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] johntortorella:
I installed perseus as well, and installed this custom boot animation that looks even nicer (for me at least). Downloaded this app from the play store to install it. No need to flash anything from recovery. But performance wise, I'm not sure if there are any noticeable differences between perseus and stock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sshafranko:
Past tjree weeks ive been testing kernels and the best performer for me has been Saber 32.2uc. It underclocks to 100mhz. I go to sleep witj 95% and wake up 8 hrs later with 94%. Very smooth stable boot ani and crt support.

No way to disable software update check?

Hello,

I just installed CreanROM ACE 5.0 on my new N7105, and I am now configuring my phone to my liking. Everything seems to work and I prefer by far this rom to the original one the phone came with. Thank you very much.

But, there is one thing I cannot find out...

Well, I noticed that "Software update" is always running. So, I went to Setting - About device to disable it. but there is no such option.

I renamed otacert.zip to bak in system>etc>security, but this doesn't prevent Software update to run and check..

Is there any way to disable this service? Can someone help me find a solution?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] xxxSuperserieSxxx:
If you have Titaniumbackup, go to Backup/Restore tab then select that "Software update v5..1209..3..1" or something then you can Freeze it or Uninstall it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 3to4:
Thank you very much, but unfortunately I don't have Titanium Backup.. Isn't there a way to do this manually with Root Explorer or something like that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] technut:
Just a 5.0 Flashing update.After a full wipe,first time thru it was hanging like a few other people are describing.Then I pulled the battery re-flashed and it went perfectly fine the second time with the same exact options picked including S4 voice.Scott you are way too good to us man......way to good.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
Make sure your sig check is disabled.

Not sure where that is because it has been removed from this ROM. I will look when I get home.

Anyone else see "Software update" running?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
Yeah, like I said, S4 Svoice has zero to do with the install. Its just coincidence that it happens on first run so then people read the other statements and on second run remove it and think that is the resolution.

Its not.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gtalum:
It was running on mine as well, until i froze it just now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ronaldheld:
Scott I looked at all applications and found system update but it was disabled. I should note that today I found an app I frozen somehow "woke up".

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] KEVK:
Battery life is still solid as ever for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
What did you update from?

All I did from 4.9 to 5.0 was update the apps and installer.

It was purely cosmetic.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 2545:
I looked at gsam battery history and it ran some time ago. I know my phone has sporadic heat and battery drain probems and am wondering if this might be the culprit. Should I just freeze this? Iknow facebook drains battery too though.

But still my ROM of choice by far.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
Sure, go ahead.

Although, this ROM has ran for nearly 4 months the same base with only app updates. No one has complained of heat or drain.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 2545:
I dont think its the ROM; prob some weird app causing this and im trying to figure it out. It might have been FB.

one minor issue for text transformed from spen handwritting to text

Hi Scott,

This is by far the best 4.1.2 rom for Note 2. i have flashed v 5.0 this with no issues. its smooth, fast and battery life is also great.

There is one minor issue i don't know how many have noticed.

on my stock att rom (this is before i rooted my phone) i received 4.1.2 update. after this update i also received another minor update. this update changed my spen functionality of transforming my handwritten text to actual text. . It took care of putting space automatically between transformed text which i wrote through s-pen. however clean rom doesn't do it. i have to manually click on the space bar to put space between 2 transformed words. i hope you are getting my point.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Assassyn:
I just flashed this yesterday and have been loving it. I wanted to stay stock but have root. This is exactly what I needed. Haven't had any functionality issues, no lags or delays. Even with the ultimate icon mod flashed. I have been impressed with my phone all over again. Thank you for your hard work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
Could be. Could be Maps, Google Now / Search. Google breaks things all the time...

Considering the most core of changes was the boot animation (Not very Core)... Im more than confident its not something I did, rather a mis-behaved app.

See above then answer this...

Have you ran any batter status or looked in the battery stats to find out what it is?

I wouldnt call that an issue, I would consider that a missing feature. Keeping in mind this is not the AT&T Base so some keyboard and handwriting features may be different in this build.

THis is based off the international ROMS put out by Samsung.

I ventured away from this smooth rom but always end up finding my way back. Just nothing is as snappy as this rom. One question hopefully someone can help me with. Is there anyway to format the internal storage because after I finished flashing and setting my phone up. I have about 700MB free space. Why is the 10gb used up so quickly? Anything I can do about that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] annewbie:
I bet it's the FB app which causing the batt drain.

Thanks Scott.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gtalum:
You might try Clean Master. It's available in the Play store. I used it and regained tons if space. Make a backup and keep your eye on what it deletes though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] tee00max:
Ok will do appreciate it!

---------- Post added at 08:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:46 AM ----------

Also a question for either Scott or anyone that has info on this. Have you found to get better battery life from the stock kernel or another one? Just curious.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] RDI:
Biggest battery improvement came from running an App called "Greenify"

Also tick this link and download the attached list and disable the listed receivers in Romtoolbox or Autostarts. Will help reduce wakelocks and you will see a decent battery improvement. GL

Are you sure this is the case? I get spaces between my words, as long as that is how I write it. You should also get a space when you write the word on the next line (under current word), and when you tap return. Perhaps try toggling between stroke recognition and back to complete recognition (In handwriting settings)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] royal1262:
When you backup your rom it takes up alot of space, so if you have several backups on your internal sdcard it will eat it up. Hopefully you have a external sdcard? if so transfer your backups to the ext card and in the future select to save your rom backups or any backups, photos, music for that matter on your external sdcard. Hope this helps
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] adam5150:
That sounds like internal memory not storage. You have 2gb of memory and 16gb of internal SD storage
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] saurabhrupji:
Hey, The feature i am talking about does it automatically. no matter how i write. even if i write 2 words without any space it automatically inserts space in the transformed text. If you have a updated non-rooted galaxynote 2 or tab 8 you can check what i am talking about.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] PRBajista:
He may also have that zero folder taking up a ton of space. When he went back to cleanrom, it goes back to the standard format without the zero folder in the sd card

My wifi has to be toggled off and then back on to get my phone to connect to the Internet every time I come home. It shows that it is connected but nothing loads until I toggle wifi off and back on. I have a Netgear N600 Wndr3700v2 router. I am using the 2.4 ghz channel. Any ideas. My ipad and laptops don't have this issue with the router. I have ATT.

Anyone has issue with NFC. Ive turned it on but I dont see any symbol on top.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
Its not bad.

But to what the other guys are saying is that if you do couple full cycle charges it retrains the battery as well.

In reality you are just pushing it along and forcing it to rebuild sooner.

But on the same note... A clean flash will accomplish the same that app does...

No... No clue. Mine connects and disconnects to a Belkin N600 on 2.4 or 5.0 just fine. No need to toggle.

But I retired... and am not saying that is the fix...

You must have...

1. Selected the wrong variant in Aroma....

2. Flashed somones mods on top of my ROM that effed it up

3. I effed it up...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
That wasnt the boot logo, the first step is carrier.

You picked generic and thats why you got a GT-N7105.

I would encourage you to reflash the correct carrier.

However... It wont HURT anything... But you may have app and play store compatibility issues because it reads that file (build.prop) to determine your region, carrier, language, etc...

Thanks. I will do that.

read through my post here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2055019

It explains (step by step) how to change/swap png files using the open archive functionality of 7-zip. This does not require you to decompile/recompile apks or edit xmls... just ability to use a root explorer program, 7-zip, and native open archive functionality on windows. Read through it and see if this is what you are looking to do... I've changed the phone signal icons, WiFi, battery, mute, bluetooth, upload/download arrows, etc using this method. Read through the thread.. and read through the guides and sample icons provided to see if this is for you.

One more note: I'm on ATT so utilize the ATT pngs... just be sure you use the generic pngs which are called by the N7105 xmls. You can also easily edit your current generic pngs using a program like MS Paint to modify the colors... again, up to you on how deep you want to go...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] keymaster911:
Just heads up. You can change the icons that way.. never ever mess with the images with .9 after the name. As if you do with out decompile the apk. Will just cause one big water mark and errors

Thank you very much, I changed the png's in SystemUI.apk, and now I have a green signal indicator. I did not touch framework-res.apk for the moment, as I got what I wanted by changing only SystemUI.apk.

I noticed another thing. Even when I don't put a pin code for the sim (that is, when the phone is out of service), the signal indicator is green. The phone is getting a signal in or out of service, so it makes sense that the signal indicator is green even when the phone is out of service. But, how do I tell the phone is not in service when I see the green indicator?

WiFi issues update.

I installed the AT&T version of CleanRom, and it didn't solve the problem. To recap, when I leave and then come back home or when the power goes off and comes back on, wifi on the phone appears to reconnect, but web pages won't load until I toggle wifi off and back on or reboot the phone.

I believe I have fixed the issue. On my Netgear N600 WNDR3700v2 router, I changed the trasmit level from "Max" to "Custom". I set the custom transmit level to 23. A guy who was having similar problems with Samsung and certain other mobile devices using the exact same router gave me the suggestion in a router firmware forum.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scott:
Ahhhh, yes. I was going to suggest changing channels but when I do people usually ask... "What do you mean" so I choose to let you figure it out :angel:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] volumnus:
Changing the channel didn't help. I don't know much, but I did know enough to try that first. The trasmit power level being set to max looks to have been the culprit.
