Thanks that did it for the phone. I've never messed with the screen resolution before. Unfortunately it didn't fix the multi-window :( but at least I can dial!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] LancerV:
Yeah havent found a fix for the multiwindow yet, have to do the same thing for camera other wise it wont work also
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wny1mxo2003:
I am using 2.3.x ...can you explain how to get the latest...I see some references using goo manager but it is not clear on updating to latest version
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] T4rd:
Open GooManager > settings (button) > Install OpenRecoveryScript. ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Aesrys:
1. Install GooManager from Play store and open\

2. Click the menu

3. Select Install Open RecoveryScript

4. It was ask you to confirm. Click Yes.

5. This should download and install the latest TWRP for the device

6. Reboot to Recovery to check. It should be version 2.5 (I think it's still 2.5.0.0)

Hope that helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
just reflash the rom without wiping data...its not the end of the world :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lgoldstein:
I'm not sure what you think reflashing the ROM will do?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
restore your dpi back to oe...or did i misread something?

Deleting email form notification/multi-window

I dirty flashed build 16 over my stock rom 4.1.1 and there are only certain apps that show up with multi-window. Also, I miss being able to delete my emails from the notification window (THIS IS HUGE FOR ME). Am I missing something? I have no intention of clean flashing just to fix the multi-window issue if that's the only known fix. I'd rather keep all of my data and setup.

Other than those 2 things, I got my wifi tether to work and I'm running smooth. Flashed the stock kernel and new radio.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lgoldstein:
lol, yeah I think you did :) I modded my build.prop to run at 240 dpi. The issue is that some apps don't play nicely at that size, so they need to be brought back to 320. Everything has been working fine up until I went to 16, when my phone and my multi-window didn't go back to 320.

---------- Post added at 09:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 AM ----------

As far as the apps go, Beans uncluded an app called MultiWindow Control in order to control which apps go in.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] danibri82:
Yeah, I think it's SuperUser.

I wiped everything clean, and got rid of rom manager for TWRP at everyone's behest, and killed superuser and switched back to SuperSU.

I haven't done really much beyond redownloading all my stuff, (restore) and set the basics like app DPIs... It's going to take a while to get my screens back to how they were, or at least close, but it might be SuperUser that was contributing to my phone being nearly completely unuseable.

I'll keep in touch with what happens when I sort of put everything back to its normal operational state.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ibkevin:
OK so all I did was go into recovery to wipe cache and dalvick cache, and I fixed permissions as well. And now I can not get xsposed to work for the life of me! Its driving me nuts!!!! I know fixing permissions has reset my xsposed apps before back to their regular DPI, but usually I can go back through them and fix them. I've tried re installing the modules, I individually went through each app I have changed and re typed the dpi's for those apps and rebooted about six times now and not one of my apps has changed?? I'm very familiar with xsposed, I've been using it for quite some time now. Long before it was baked into the ROM. So its not like I don't know what I'm doing. This is the first time I've ever even had an issue with xsposed and idk what the hell is wrong?? I'm so frustrated over it, I'm on the verge of wiping everything and re installing the ROM if I have to!! I'd rather not have to but idk why the hell I can't get my apps to change and I'm losing my mind over it! Anyone?? Any suggestions at all?? This is so weird.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
Thats why it is better to change dpi on a per-app basis via Xposed, rather than changing the buildprop. It requires more effort initially, but worth the trouble later. As you have discovered :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chino0131:
Anyone use the Photowall Live wallpaper that comes in Samsung Live wallpapers? On Build 16 there seems to be a limit on how many pictures you can set. I went from build 14 to 16, but there was never a limit on previous Builds. Anyone else see this? Perhaps the latest OTA changed something? Using the apk from previous builds doesn't fix this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mtrain:
It seems like my speakerphone volume is lower than when i was on B14. Any way to adjust it? Currently running B16 with the included sabre kernal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] LancerV:
Problem is lockscreen wont change without build.prop
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lgoldstein:
I find that for the majority of the apps that I run, 240 is just fine. I believe the general consensus is to edit the build.prop and then bring back what's not working, I know that it is also what Beans has recommended. Of course for some people it works better to just go individual. It's all a matter of preference and which method works better for the user.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BRosenow:
I know you say you've worked with Xposed before . . . but you did remember to enable the modules, right? I had the same issue in 14 and it was driving me CRAZY . . . and then I realized I had forgotten to enable the modules. Sometimes it's the simple things!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ibkevin:
Yeah that's what's so crazy, the modules are enabled. I'be even reinstalled the update and tried unchecking and rechecking the modules then rebooting again, and still won't change. I had every app I change already set to the DPI I use with them, but I just wanted to wipe cache and fix permissions cause I usually fix permissions after flashing the ROM but I didn't so I went back into recovery to do so, knowing I would probably have to reset my DPI for my apps, which I've done many times before but for some reason they just won't change back?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] LancerV:
.8%/h battery drain with crappy signal, this is awesome :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lgoldstein:
Think you're going to get the full 125 hours out of that charge? :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] LancerV:
Lol thats idle no screen I see it lasting at least two days though, depending on how much games I play at lunch
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ibkevin:
Look I swear everything is done right. I just dont get it? Im literally losing my mind over this! Im so f*#king heated at the moment. I really dont want to start all over with another clean flash. Even using TiBU and stuff, its still a bit time consuming.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
When you change bases ie 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 you always WIPE DATA! This is Android 101, nothing new here ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ibkevin:
If u notice in those pictures too, my signal bars went back to gray again too. And I have it set to 5 bars in xsposed tweekbox. It was originally on 4bars and turned gray when I changed the status bar transparent but then I changed it to 5bars, rebooted and had blue again. Now when I rebooted the dozen times I just have trying to get dpi to work, they turned gray again?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] LancerV:
You did reboot right? And make sure it has Superuser right
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
Ya I know how to edit a build prop. I had been running beans b.2 at 240dpi from last December until yesterday ;). However I find that the xposed app is much easier to use instead of modding apk's to work with 240dpi.

---------- Post added at 11:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:13 AM ----------

my signal bars went gray also.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ibkevin:
Im at a loss guys. I really dont know why dpi wont change.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Nolesfan93:
Why? I've figured out every issue and I'm running perfectly smooth. The only thing I'm missing is the swipe to delete my GMail from the notification bar. Is that only happening to me?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mentalcase87:
It seems I can't find anyone else with the same issue. I want to keep using this rom since I had for awhile and then switched to meanbean. Upon switching to mean my bluetooth issues had been resolved. I can connect to devices without a problem but the delay or lag between when I push a button on the device is quite a wait. Maybe 4 or 5 seconds and is very noticeable. I have this issue with both my headset and my car bluetooth so I know it's not just a single device and it's happened on every version of this rom I have downloaded over the past few months.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lgoldstein:
It sounds like we're doing the same thing using the xposed app, just you're bring individual apps down to 240 while I'm bring some up to 320. Six in one hand, half a dozen in the other.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mac of York:
Install/update on the installer. You're on 2.12 not 2.13. Maybe that'll help?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Diversion:
Dat penmanship.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
When you open xposed installer, click install/update and reboot. After reboot is complete, open xposed installer and select module, check both boxes and reboot again. Also If you modded your build prop from 320dpi, then it work correctly with all apps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lgoldstein:
Have you tried updating the installer just for kicks? Also, I had to go and change the screen resolution in a couple of my apps to get them to work in 16.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
From what I found xposed app does not work correctly with all apps if you modify the build prop from 320dpi.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Sokudoningyou:
Is anyone else with the newest Play Store version of Nova Launcher plus having lag when leaving the apps drawer, or really ANY app after a few seconds? If I go into the app drawer then out right away, no problem, but if I spend any length of time within the drawer or an app, then use my back button to get out, it takes almost two seconds to actually go back to my home screen. Finally isolated it to that; nothing else is giving me problems or lag. 16 is otherwise smooth.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] LancerV:
Are you setting the resolutin also to 800x1280?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
No problems here. Uninstall & reinstall?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] peacewise:
Thanks for this, although it didn't work for me. Could not set up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
I tried all resolutions...for me xposed works better if you leave the build prop at 320, then switch the apk's to the desired dpi.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wny1mxo2003:
Big trouble now...can't reboot to recovery!!!! Help!!!

1st I'd like to thank everyone for the quick responses to my problem, but it seems as though my problem has gotten worse. So I updated to the latest TWRP and tried the process again. Same issue but the difference now is that the freeze is so bad that it will not allow me to reboot to recovery. As soon as the device allows input after reboot I attempt to reboot before it freezes again...I bet the blue light with no more activity. I am so confussed as to what could have caused this as I have never had issue with this process before.

Can someone please help me get back to recovery so I can restore to my latest version....I am hopping it is not too late!

Thanks:crying:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Aesrys:
Did you try a battery pull and then holding the 3 buttons down (power, home, and vol-up (I think it's up anyway, I always forget)? Last time I couldn't get into recovery it's because I forgot to hold the home button too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wny1mxo2003:
I am completely frozen now! Please help!

Im running 213 Build.prop and manually set apps that dont work. What issue are you having?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wny1mxo2003:
I will give it a try....Thanks....I will try anything at this point.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] LancerV:
Did you wipe system also?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
you don't need to wipe system on Samsung devices...its built into the rom script on install.

---------- Post added at 11:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:55 AM ----------

I am not having any issues read back thru the thread. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Sokudoningyou:
Did that, and now, so far, that problem's gone. But it's still slightly slow in doing certain tasks, like bringing the notification bar down. :confused: I dunno. I supposed I can live unless it gets really bad.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
Are you underclocked? Any other mods? If the lag gets annoying, try Apex or Holo Launcher
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dms76:
On this b16 I can't seem to find sort contacts by last name, first name. I always thought on prior builds it was under contact settings. Does anyone see it anywhere?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] danibri82:
Yes, I had this issue on a Dirty Flash, so eventually I had to wipe it all chasing down potential reasons why i was having issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jeremiahEJ54:
I would try a few things before doing a clean flash.

1 Update the Per App Module to 0.4 from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2072081

2 Flash the disabler zip that should be on your SD card or found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1574401

3 Maybe try fixing permissions from ROM Manger instead of Recovery
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] danibri82:
I can say now for sure that the culprit for our problems is the SuperUser app. Thank you to the detectives of XDA for guiding me to the oasis.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Caveman419:
I did not have any of these issues dirty flashing from Build 14 to build 16. I am doing a clean flash right now to see if I can replicate any problems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wny1mxo2003:
I did a wide all data and factory reset but did not wide system.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JSmoove3g4:
All I did was update xposed and rebooted my phone once I did that everything was fine
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Craleb:
Clean flash here. Absolutely no problems.

Only thing I saw was somehow I had both supersu and superuser.... Delted supersu .. No problems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hopesrequiem:
Yeah that's why I always use supersu. I hate the standard superuser
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BladeDreams:
Im on Nova... no issues with b16 or the new superuser...

Other then one app for screeb brightness that did not work..

Beans stock kernal no sd swap custom boot.... but pretty tame really.

And dirty from b15.....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WisdomWolf:
I've been running Beans since the day I got this phone, so I never considered that the bluetooth lag was rom related. I just assumed that Samsung had done something to the BT stack. I'll have to try out Meanbean and see if I get the same results as you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] efjdmtyper:
Waiting on B16 to download did a clean install to b15 and then going to dirty the b16 so hopefully i get better results than what I was having on a dirty install from B14 to b16
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] camineroga:
Sorry if I ask this and didnt read it in the op maybe I missed but this rom work with tmobile note 2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
#1 rule of modding (besides don't ask for ETAs) is when something is behaving badly after a dirty flash, clean wipe and reflash. That would be the next thing I'd do. I am not promising that will fix your problem, but dirty flashing can create problems that you will spend hours pulling out your hair trying to resolve. Yes, dirty flashing should not have anything to do with 3rd party launcher behavior, but you never know.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ibkevin:
Well I had xsposed working fine until I fixed permissions in recovery and now I can't get it to work for the life of me. I've updated the installer numerous times, unchecked and rechecked modules over an over numerous times, went back and re did every app that I change the DPI with numerous times one by one, and even tried to reflash the ROM ( dirty this time ) just to see if it would help, and still nothing! I'm still trying but at this point its getting a little ridiculous and I may as well re wipe and re flash clean cause the amount of time I've spent trying to get it to work again, I probably could've already had my phone set back up!! Its just annoying cause I wanna know why its not working now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] retundamonkey:
I had the same issue. Dirty flash of 16 on 14 cleared it up. But the Samsung keyboard refuses to let me use my phone at all after I change my DPI back to 240. Oh well.

FlashBarService. Change that in the per app DPI settings.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Caveman419:
I have clean flashed Build 16 now, restored all non Google apps through Helium, running Bean's Kernel and am still not having one single issue. The tethering is working without a problem too. I have not had an issue with the Superuser app. I did go in and set it up to always prompt and require a PIN.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mac of York:
After my initial issues, I kept Koush's superuser and now I am not having any problems. I enabled and disabled ink and changed one other thing but I don't remember what it was. Nothing major. Now no issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Caveman419:
Dirty Flash from 14 to 16 with only wiping dalvik and cache......no issues

Clean Flash after wiping cache, dalvik, system and data......no issues

I can not say that Superuser is the cause of anything. I have also ran CleanRom 3.1 and Norvella over the past week with Superuser and absolutely no issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mwshows:
Yeah I'm one of the ones that had trouble with it, and I'm not convinced that Koush's superuser is the only culprit.

I think it may be a combination of how we set up our phones (kernel, etc) and then the actual phone itself. We ALL know that our individual phone reacts different than everyone else's... I've not been able to run any rom successfully using Koush's superuser, they always lock up on me requiring battery pulls.

I'm also curious if something is conflicting in TWRP. When wiping I'm constantly getting the message in TWRP "your phone is not rooted" and then it asks you to slide to root phone. I know other people experience that too, but I don't know enough about recoveries to know if that's just the way it supposed to work now.

In any case, I'm just happy I have XDA that I can turn to with users who are AWESOME and help out others when needed (and set us straight when needed too). And of course developers who freakin' ROCK :)

Say Hello To My 5.5 Inch Friend....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mac of York:
Yeah, I can't say it's the cause of anything either. It works great for me now. Maybe the ROM just had to settle in?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Caveman419:
I got that message on the other two ROMs (I swear they meant nothing to me Beans!!) that flashed after wiping and did not have any problems with the phone freezing up. That is very true that each phone runs a little different.

When I was on CleanROM, I flashed Superuser from the market and it completely got rid of the SuperSU app. I went looking for it to freeze/delete and looked everywhere...finanly looked in my app drawer and it was just gone. I thinkl Koush's app ate it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RomsWell:
I used native lastnight. It like you say drops 4g or data all together. But renaming the sid to anything other then default fixes it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jonjinbae:
I'm T-Mobile right now and I have no problems so far :].

My battery drain is a bit high though... but I think its cause I flashed it yesterday.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] spikebball96:

Sorry for OT couldn't resist.

And thanks Beans can't wait to flash b16!

The 2nd quote in the post that you just quoted. The one saying to pull the battery. Then hold volume up, home, and power buttons until you get to the recovery screen.

Does anyone know if it's possible to separate the dpi of the dialer from the rest of the contacts app?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Caveman419:
I have found one thing...and it is small. Under Settings > Lock Screen > Lock Screen Options, the Clock (Shows clock on lock screen) will not remained checked. The clock has been on the lock screen since flashing. I am using the stock lock screen with shortcuts turned on and the ripple effect. No AOSP lock screen. I can not get the clock to turn off either.

It sounds like you pressed volume down instead of volume up. Use volume up home and power then just reflash a ROM. Make sure you wipe everything first.
