ok. i got one more last question for now.

what is aroma? i downloaded the base without themes. is there an option to change the layout? like NOVA or something else.

or all the themes the same as the standard X layout i've been using?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pyraxiate:
Aroma is just a fancy graphical install that gives options during an install. I would download the full version with themes. People say you can dirty flash ( not wipe data ) and change themes until you find one you like ( to include stock layout ), therefore not deleting your apps and settings. There are a couple of home screen options but I think they are mostly Touchwiz modified ones for different row/columns than the stock touchwiz 4x4 layout.

Themes have nothing to do with the home layout ( Nova launcher / apex / touchwiz / go launcher / etc ). They mostly modify app colors , icons , status bar styles. For more information and visuals,...... try looking at the Themes and Apps section for our t889 . . . . . .
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] davbran:
I have a feature request, but was unsure where to submit it.

I've never been terrible fond of the TW Email application. Can we get an option in Aroma to select AOSP Email? I've currently patched it from the app I found in the Apps and Themes forum, but would love to have the option built into the installer.

Live the ROM, my brother recommended I try it when I couldn't find a port from RevolutionHD. I'm quite happy with it over all.

Thanks,

Lost my email notifications in X15

Hi All,

I upgraded from Jedi X14 to X15, and I’ve lost my email notifications.

When I open the standard email app, I do see new emails, but I don’t get the ringtone or vibration alerts.

I tried searching this thread, and I didn’t find this situation mentioned before.

I did a nandroid backup of X14, installed X15.

I wiped cache, Dalvik, and permissions.

Rebooted, waited 10 mins, then restarted.

Should I try wiping my internal memory card? I am not running any apps via Apps to SD.

The email addresses use AOL (yes, I know...) and mac.com.

If anyone has any ideas, I’d love to hear them. I teach, and my students need to be able to reach me with questions.

thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Negan:
Ok dirty flashing may be the root cause. Twrp 2.5

Go to wipe and then swipe to confirm,

Then wipe cache / dalvik then flash

For those wanting to just change the signal icons themselves, either use rom toolbox pro or the .pngs are located in the systemui.apk, res, drawable-xhdpi
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] asainz320:
I went into the SystemUI.apk > res > drawable-xhdpi > and there I looked for the PNG representing the 4G and replaced it with an image that I wanted. After this it showed the image that i had replaced, but after making some other teaks to the images, it started showing a native 4GLTE which was not the one I had replaced. It does switches between 4gLTE and 3G, Im not sure it will change to 4G and there's no way for me to test at the moment since everything around me is LTE now.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] cr1130:
Ok after reflashing X15 clean. i still cant figure out my data issue.. Have no problems on Master. Used MD1 modem.. Changed my APN( goes back to default on its own).. Left APN on epc as I saw on here someone was getting LTE with apn as epc.. Sooo did that too.. Nothing. data still in and out. Guess its my device(a replacement) or my area(Philly)?? Anyone in Philly NOT experiencing data issues with this ROM??? Just all out of options figured I ask and just accept it being an area issue before I blame another device.. Thanks ahead of time..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kushXmaster:
It could be an area issue. If you know anyone else on Tmobile in that area you can ask them if they are getting poor signal. Have you tried the mb4 modem?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] motionmonk:
Hi Markbenzce,

I have CWM installed, but it sounds like you are suggesting a full wipe?

I'll try that later today and report back.

thanks!

motionmonk
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Negan:
Absolutely do a full wipe. Cwm will suffice although twrp is recommended

This rom is absolutely astounding.

Thank you for your hard work and developments. I cant say one bad thing about this rom :laugh:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] motionmonk:
Ok, I wiped the SD card in Recovery, re-flashed the ROM, and yes! I have audio notifications for email again :laugh:

I've also discovered I need a better solution for backing up stuff between ROM flashes...

I used App2Zip to created an archive of my user apps, but when I restored, I ended up with all sorts of weirdness...

Random apps missing, and I think Google restored lots of other apps I haven't had installed for months.

Would Titanium Backup be a better choice?

Also, what is a good way to keep the little backup files from Apex Launcher or other apps? They seem to be hidden in places I can't find easy.

thanks for the help again, markbencze! :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] KommodoreHeinz:
New to the Note2. Absolutely love this phone. Never have been a supporter of stock/OEM versions of Android. Ive been a long fan of CM and PA, but there are just so many things that Sammy did with this OS that I had to find a Stockish rom. After a launcher change its perfect.

I absolutely love this rom. Great job. Was a little hesitant because of the whole LTE problems I saw. Flashed it anyways and all I had to change was the APN.

Once again great rom, only thing I'm missing is HALO...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] motionmonk:
Hi sunglint,

It was weird... I tried deleting my email accounts from the phone, and rebuilding them too. It didn't help.

I ended up wiping the SD card, then re-flashing X15, and now it's working.

Hehe, at least I'm learning something new all the time! ;)

-motionmonk
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Negan:
It really depends on the user for backing up to be honest. App2zip has only once given me an issue. I reflashed and it worked. Most people prefer titanium as it backs up data too.

I like both. Lately ive been using titanium. Get the pro version.

And as far as a launcher I prefer nova over apex. Both very similar.

So say you don't want to use titanium and use app2zip. What ive done befoee is go to nova settings, and backup and restore and backup my home screwn setup and widgets. Then after flashing the app2zip go to nova and restore. Bam

Definitely quicker tha titanium but you cant restoee data that way. Your choice
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] motionmonk:
Because my dirty flash introduced the no notification sound problem, I didn't worry about my data as much.

Is it generally ok to save and restore User Data? My impression from the thread is that restoring User Data wasn't a good idea...

-motionmonk
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Negan:
User apps are fine to backup. Its system apps you wanna avoid. My suggestion that way it to use the backup to XML option in titanium for WiFi access points, SMS and call log if that even matters.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] motionmonk:
Ok, I understand about the System Apps, but what about User Data? The User Apps as an archive makes sense to me, but I'm worried if restoring User Data would introduce any errors or problems in a new ROM flash.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Negan:
User data is fine.

Remember rule 1 always make a nandroid
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] motionmonk:
Thanks markbencze, I appreciate the info very much. I hope to be better prepared the next time out!

Have a nice holiday weekend! :laugh:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] verifiedsub:
From my experience you can backup and restore app data as long as your not restoring data for system apps.. thats when you will most likely run into issues.. I always restore all apps without data with titanium then restore the data for only games and user apps and what not.. and like mark said.. NANDROID!! Lol.. it is your best friend..

---------- Post added at 02:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:35 AM ----------

I sometimes save some.. and I emphasize SOME... lol system apps.. but I have a little more experience and knowledge pf what can and cant be backed up and restored.. you will get to that point just keep going and search..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] fullcourtpress9:
I use Nova Launcher, but downloaded Apex real quick and made a backup to see where it saves. Check out the screenshots, it saves to sdcard/Android/data/apexlauncher. You should be able to copy those over to your SD Card and restore Apex settings if flashing a new ROM or something. I do the same with Nova backups.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] motionmonk:
Heh, I found out the location of the Apex backups AFTER I had already wiped the SD Card. D'OH!

I just wish there was a little more common structure between developers in where they placed their pref files.

In the same way that ringtones, alarms and notifications have a folder structure, I wish developers used the same Backup directory.

I'm getting really good at finding stuff -after- it's gone with this latest flash to X15. It's all good, and it's showing me the importance of keeping good backup procedures too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ggfb20:
You may want to give helium a try for backing up apps, is the new favorite and after trying you'll see why. Tons of options. Grab it from the play store.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sofia-captivate:
can somebody tell me why there is 2 jedi rom? and are they easy to install? and hows the battery life you guys are getting?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] motionmonk:
Hmm, has it been renamed from Carbon? I am a little confused by the youtube vid on the Google store page for Helium.

But yes, it looks interesting.

Are there specific features you like better, than something like Titanium Backup?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ggfb20:
Indeed, it had been renamed, it's easier to work with to me, also includes cloud backup ie dropbox etc. Does backup apps + data or either or. The dev is clockworkmod you know the group that also made Cwm recover which is perhaps the most used custom recovery ever on Android. The are many more pros but the mentioned things are off the top of my head.

---------- Post added at 01:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:14 AM ----------

One is usa based (master) while the other is international based (X). The master is very similar to the original stock that t889 was shipped with. Ie. it includes the tmobile wifi calling which is the most notable difference. I prefer X because it was the first I've tried and fell in love on first use, have not even thought of using a different rom since.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] androidrook:
Anybody having issue where you lose data signal for no apparent reason?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pyraxiate:
Interesting app. I think ill stick to Titanium Backup Pro though. Its never failed me. I always nandroid as well as perform a full backup with Tibu ( Giving me the option to restore anything and everything if wanted ), but, TiBu can pull your files from the TWRP or CWM backup as well.

Unless you installed a modem when you installed the rom it would have nothing to do with your data signal.. the roms are the exact same unless you install a modem..

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] iNeedICS:
Ok guys this may seem noobish but I've been searching and I really hate to be annoyance to the community but I'm just curious, if I flash this rom on my i317 and I install the t-mobile modem, will I get it to work just like the t-mobile Note 2 (hspa+/LTE-wise) ? I've done the AWS mod, but I randomly lose signal here and there, and it's bugging me, I'm thinking it could be a sim card issue, but idk... Any help would be greatly appreciated :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Negan:
Do not under any circumstances flash the mobile modem. Infact just flash the jedi xp version meant for the i317

Can anyone please tell me the name of the app in this rom for note taking, it's start with Hd something, it would be a great addition tweak romantic I just flashed, thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] iNeedICS:
HD aNote? I think :$
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ggfb20:
Yes it's hd anote, must be added in aroma when flashing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] nysoprano:
I lost my WiFi signal icon on the right side and WiFi is on. WiFi works fine but I don't get indication of signal. Everything was working fine after install, I think it went away after turning it on and off.

I'm coming from a clean install of x15.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ggfb20:
Be sure to try the standard procedure of wiping cache and davlik while also fixing permissions all via your recovery. If after doing those you don't see the icon then you may want to reflash the rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] nysoprano:
I did all that, even going step by step during install.

Also gps takes a lot longer to lock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ggfb20:
In the event you dirty flashed, I recommend doing a clean flash after "full wipe" (factory reset), to include wiping your internal and external sd cards. Be sure to nand bckp and copy your sd files to your desktop or some other drive before wiping. There should be no problem at at after doing those steps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kushXmaster:
Here's a link for it.

http://db.tt/XdVHBugW

Just install as a regular apk.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Note_2:
I've noticed the new install helper ever since x14 came out. Are the steps such as system wipe, clear dalvik, and fix permissions necessary now? The installer even allows for a back up. Thanks

yes, as a matter of fact i recommend using each one 3x to assure your starting anew properly friend. actually i have had success dirty flashing since x9 using this method. gl

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] asainz320:
Attached you'll find my modified SystemUI.apk. This is for the people who want to see the 4G LTE on their network mode icon. This will not give you any increase in speeds or signal. This is only to see 4G LTE when you are on an LTE area. I have tested it and it successfully changes in between 3G/H+/4G LTE. Make a backup copy of your original SystemUI.apk just in case you decide to go back. The 4G LTE graphic i used was the stock one from the Galaxy S 4.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] asainz320:
I just made another one with this 4G LTE icon.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ggfb20:
It's been a while for me, but the sysui apk will not install, jst giving me an install error. tried from recovery to no avail also. Lol also tried removing the original sys ui via titanium but that was a fail (thanks to the modded apk still not installing and the constant errors for not having a sys ui installed). So, for the noobs and dudes like me out there how does one get this installed?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kushXmaster:
I think you have to push it into /system/app and then reboot or something like that. I don't think you can just install it like a normal app.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ggfb20:
So other than op has anybody else installed it yet? How about you mista? Or is adb push the only way (trying to be lazy and avoid using my pc) would be nice to have it as a flashable zip (hint hint) ;) :silly:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] duck man:
I installed it with root explorer and it looks great. Just overwrite your current systemui.apk under system/app and change permissions and reboot and you are good to go
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] nysoprano:
Yes. I did a full wipe on the device and internal memory card and removed ext card. Wiped cache and fix permission, I didn't miss a step.

I wish these things weren't so random, and I could get a clear answer as to what it could be.

What would cause a icon to disappear? Can it be replace? How?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ggfb20:
That worked perfectly Thanks, for others looking to do the same and want detailed instructions read carefully:

1 install root explorer.

2 open root explorer and go to your root directory aka "/", next the "system" folder, next the "app" folder. In the app folder scroll to "systemui.apk", long press on it then select "copy", next go to your sd card directory and paste/copy it there as a backup.

3 find the modded systemui.apk and copy it and paste to the original directory of the unmodified apk. If asked click yes to overwrite the existing one.

4 next you need to set the permissions of the new modded apk. Long press on the sysui apk select permissions, if it ask to mount click Ok/yes, check all boxes under read, then just the top box (owner) under write. click ok then reboot. That's it you should be all set. Should you run into any issues reinstall the copy you backed up.

Also if you are slow with the steps you may have some errors pop up just keep dismissing them, remain calm, and still follow the instructions. You will be ok. enjoy.

---------- Post added at 01:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:11 AM ----------

Well, after all of that I'd say it's time to wipe everything again and reflash the rom from the beginning. Start from re downloading the rom from the first page (could just be a bad download, check that your md5 matches). If that doesn't work I'm afraid I have no more suggestions.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mista513:
Sorry I was sleeping... Lol

I didn't install it yet either due to having a theme on my X and didn't want to jack that up. Gonna try it today and if it changes my 3g and H+ icons I'll have to change it back.

didn't realize til last night that i cannot choose any live wallpaper as my wallpaper even though i have two installed ... there's no way for me to choose the live wallpaper as an option. i thought i needed to flash 'livewallpaper' from the goodies bag, but nothing has changed. i also see in the change logs that it says the 'live wallpaper' issue has been fixed O_O. help? i also checked trickstermod and saw that the max freq at 1600MHz when i think i saw it previously at 1920MHz, is that normal?

I tried the stock look for my 1st week and haven't went back since. The dialer and messenger portions looked themed still but my notification and status bar went all stock. Can't have that, I can live with being on LTE w/o seeing the icon.

Now if they'd hurry up and flip that switch here...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ggfb20:
Cool, I'm one of the few that like the stock look, but as far as the switch goes it is only 1/3 on here... seems like I'm the only one in this city mapping with sensorly. They are for sure still installing lte on our towers though. Can't wait. We (el paso, tx) haven't even been mentioned in any of the rumors or official lte listings.

Hello, I have the T889v Galaxy Note 2, and I am really interested in downloading this ROM.

1. Can I root my WIND Galaxy Note 2 using the T-Mobile Toolkit on XDA?

2. Once Rooted, should I first install the ROM, and then the T889v Modem, or other way around?

3. What keyboard is bundled with this ROM?
