I agree, the AOSP dialer is so much smoother, in addition, there are fewer button presses required to make a call when using the T9 dialer. With the TW dialer it seems like by the time I'm actually making the call, I might as well have dialed the full 10 digit number. With the AOSP dialer on 4.3, usually 4 button presses and I'm in a call. I know this may seem like splitting hairs to some but I think its a testament to how inefficient TW is overall.

Depends on the issues, most of the issues are probably ROM related. There is very rarely ever a need to Odin back to stock to fix an issue. Even with weird network issues, the hidden menu tool Adam posted will help to address many of these problems. Warranty claims are obviously a different story.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] FormeriPhoney:
Beans didn't forget about us.. He broke his note 2 and was waiting on parts.. They just came in. Also, he wasn't building anything until 4.3 drops.

That being said, I was so sick of waiting for 4.3 that I decided just to buy a note 3 yesterday :D

I'll be selling my note 2 with a retarded amount of accessories on Swappa if anyone is interested.

I'll still stop by this forum to help out of I can.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jccpalmer:
Anyone having the issue of the phone freezing on the lockscreen when they have a PIN? I was using the AOSP lockscreen with a PIN, but everytime I reawaken the screen, it freezes at the ICS/JB padlock without the ability to scroll to unlock. I even turned off the swipe to unlock under 'Lock Screen' in the settings.

This is currently my fourth fresh install, and Google won't restore my apps. :confused:

Any help would be appreciated.

The N3 is nice, I played with one the other day. I'm waiting til 4.4 drops for the N3 before deciding to get it though. Enjoy!

I was getting impatient for 4.3 as well but just decided to check out a 4.3 ROM to see what its like. 4.3 is nice, and I like some of the new features but its hard to leave such a finely tuned ROM with so many great features as Beans v22, even if it is only 4.1.2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] FormeriPhoney:
Same here. I ran akellers aokp 4.3 build.. Where it was nice, the camera on aosp is the worst I've ever seen. Couldn't deal with it as I use the camera a lot

I have 4.3.1 on my Nexus tablet so if I want aosp I just play with that in the meantime.

I'll be flashing beans 3 on the note 3 ASAP
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Wynnded:
Check to be certain that you do not have the Ink Effect set in your lock screen settings, that will usually bugger up lock screens other than the Stock Note 2 one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mlin:
Ah yes, AOSP. I was referring to a 4.3 TW ROM. The AOSP camera really doesn't compare.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] d12unk13astard:
Still running this and only this rom on my note 2, hopefully you guys get an update asap to a 4.3 jellybeans rom on here. Beans is putting in work on the note 3 on build 3 already and aosp theme is back!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] NimhOfJoy:
Are we seriously still waiting on 4.3 from Verizon? I thought we were supposed to get it at the end of November...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] spaghetti2514:
That was the Samsung release. Verizon has to spend a few months bloating it up before releasing it so that devs aren't bored and have something to remove.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] beddess:
Nah there was a leaked roadmap that had said Verizon note 2, I think on the 29th
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] spaghetti2514:
Oh, if you mean that Galaxy Gear compatibility (AKA 4.3) roadmap, pretty much every carrier except for Sprint decided not to follow it because of some bugs that showed up on the S3's and S4's 4.3 update. So it's anyone's guess again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] satchko:
When I take a screenshot and use the "edit" button from the notification pulldown, it opens up the screenshot in paper artist. Is there any way to make it open in S-note or even that little editor that pops up when you take a screenshot using the s-pen?

I've asked this before in here, and have gotten the answer to reflash or whatever, in order to go back through AROMA without selecting paper artist. However, I remember [MENTION=4395895]beanstown106[/MENTION] coming in the thread saying that not having it installed crashes system UI when you try to tap "edit". So, obviously that's not an option.

Any ideas?:confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BladeDreams:
I do not have paper artist installed.

Edit lots of pics with labels and such....

No crashes here ;)

Aroma is so simple to run, try it.

If you dont like or have issues...

Run it again.

You dont have to wipe or lose any data just to remove or add a feature like this.

Hope that helps; )

I'm waiting to see what happens with Android 4.4 and rooted devices with locked bootloaders. From this front page article written around the release of KitKat, http://www.xda-developers.com/android/google-taking-aim-at-device-modders-in-android-4-4-kitkat/ I'm waiting to see if devs can find a way to maintain root on the N3 after the KK update. Safestrap is great and an okay substitute if its the only thing that's available, however, loosing the ability to root is a huge deal breaker for me.

So, does anyone elses Wifi Tether drop 4g connection occasionally?

Seems like whenever mine decides to actually start dropping connection, there's nothing I can do to stop it except reboot and hope that it'll fix it. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but it's annoying as all get-out, especially when my HTC One doesn't do that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TheDiabolicaL1:
I use 40-50 gb while tethering a month. Using the stock wifi tethering toggle, I experience few, if any drops.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JTProuhet:
I really like beans Rom.. but I'm honestly really tired of the volume absolutely sucking. I drive a truck and I stream Pandora thru my phone to my radio and more often than not I have a hell of a time hearing even with phone and radio turned up all the way. Yes I've turned up the max volume thru trickster. But then if I turn it up past 58 on max volume on trickster, my phone will stop the music and unlock my screen. If I turn it down it doesn't do it. And then I use a Bluetooth and even the volume thru that is super low. When I was stock I didn't have a problem hearing and could never turn the volume up all the way.

And then it's happening more and more lately that I'll pull my phone out of my pocket and it will not wake up. And have to pull my otterbox apart to pull the battery.

Also it seems very laggy..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AKARaccoon:
Childs play. :P Do that in a week.

On a serious note, haha, note, I don't know why my connection continually drops. But it's infuriating and I can't seem to get an answer.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Vlip3:
Okay, newbie question. The instructions in that link say you need to flash from Odin but I'm currently running JB build 22 and I thought that uses Aroma. I don't think I understand to this level of detail. Can I install the ROM from this link the same way I've been installing successive builds of JB? Would it be better for me to wait until beans posts a new custom ROM? If that's only a few days away, I may just decide to wait but I'm getting really anxious for 4.3! Please help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] CAPTainJRacine:
I'm waiting.

If you don't want to wait, you have two steps. 1st install the ROM zip file Beans posted using Recovery (TWRP or CWM) like you have been doing with this ROM. 2nd use desktop ODIN to flash the new firmware (modem and fixes WiFi). If you don't do 2 you likely won't have WiFi and won't newest modem.

If you are worried about using ODIN, there is a flashable zip that was posted for the firmware but I would wait until more people test it. There were problems with it last night, and it's supposed to have been fixed though. If it is fixed you install like this ROM.

Aroma is an "installer" that allows options when flashing a ROM through recovery. You don't install a ROM through Aroma. You install a ROM in a custom recovery and most DEVs use AROMA to allow you to choose options. The ROM Beans posted is straight stock. No options, so no Aroma.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dr. Droidberg:
I may be wrong, but I think I read that Samsung left it out of all of the Note 2 updates. That's not to say that someone couldn't port it in since we're going to be on the same framework as the Note 3 now.

This update was just about making all devices compatible with the Galaxy Gear before Christmas in hopes they sell more of those.

Hey all.

Been on this ROM a while, and the one thing I'm still trying to nail down is battery life. I know that not all phones are the same etc etc but with Perseus I got great battery life. I don't recall the exact settings but I know I just copied the numbers from someone else's that were posted.

I don't have precise numbers hours-wise but most days if I left for work with a full charge I would get home with 30-40% battery most days. I had other small issues with Perseus and since it stopped development I moved on - tried Stock and Devil kernals. I still get good battery life, but not what I was getting with Perseus. Now if I want to get home with 30-40% I need to be on a charger for a few hours during the day.

I don't use the phone all that heavily. Am on wi-fi most of the day, emails - gmail and work - push, facebook updates regularly etc. Screen time I don't have numbers for but I'm not doing any heavy web surfing or movie watching - screen is off most of the time. But I do play music (mp3s from the SD card) a lot.

Any thoughts of what to try next? My sdcard is exfat, so I need to be able to read that whatever kernel it is.

Also, off topic but I've seen it discussed - what would you recommend for a glass screen replacement? I see one on amazon that is like 5.99. Anyone know if it's any good? I dropped my phone 1 too many times and this time it landed on the corner - shattered the corner and spider-webbed, and ended with long cracks along the length and width. Luckily I had one of those nice glass screen covers (talked about a few months back in this thread) and it stayed intact and held the screen together and all the pieces in, and the touch screen and stylus still work, so I think it's just the glass.

It's actually still almost perfectly usable but if the replacement is under $10 and the DIY is mostly trivial I'm willing to try. Also any links to good tutorials about it? I've seen some youtube vids but not sure which are best. I assume I need a heat gun...

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] NimhOfJoy:
Pretty much - and it's cuz they have great coverage and great devices that they can get away with that kind of nonsense.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] abe_cedar:
Try saber Kernel.it supports exfat. I can confirm. For me there is about the same performance

The screen is a tough one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] spaghetti2514:
I just recently went back to Perseus. Loved Devil but it was causing crashes once every few days and my battery life wasn't as good as with Perseus either. I'm getting amazing battery life again, and having no problems at all now. What issues were you having with Perseus? They might be avoidable.

Its so you can use your external sd card as your internal storage. So basically everything that would normally be saved to your device will get saved to your sd. I guess its a matter of preference cause I personally am not a fan of it. I think 16gb's is plenty of space for apps and such

I tried installing the Boeffla app but it says my kernel doesn't support it. I'm just trying to get louder volume. I don't need all the other features.

Really, it's not that my phones volume is a problem, it's my Bluetooth. I have a Plantronics Voyager Legend which I love but my one gripe that I must ALWAYS run it t max volume but it is not loud enough, especially in noisy environments. Also, I must have very small ear canals because even with the smallest earpiece, I'm still constantly pushing it in. I can't fix the Bluetooth, so I thought maybe I could compensate by pushing a louder signal from the phone. Will this even work?

Some speed issues and screen rotation issues. Screen would get stuck in one orientation and this happened pretty often (stock lock screen not lockscreen related) and also had random performance issues, like sound cutting out/getting choppy listening to mp3s but nothing else, screen locked, etc.

It wasn't a deal-breaker, I mostly went to Devil because Perseus stopped development and several advised I move to Devil since it was built off of Perseus.

I'm not against going back - any other endorsements?

Still looking for reliable info on DIY screen replacement (not LCD or digitizer)... any help?

For the person looking for louder sound, I still think STweaks (with perseus) had the best options and results, and it made a big difference in sound levels for me. Mostly the built-in speaker but I tweaked headset volume too. Funny part is I actually have the opposite problem - too loud. I wish both my Media and Notifications volume bars had like 2 more clicks between softest volume and silent.
