I wish I had asked first. I'm having more trouble going from b23 to b24 than I did going from b22 to b23. I did a factory reset and then flashed the ROM but when trying to restore from TiBu (which I ran right before flashing) it ran and completed but I was still missing a bunch of stuff so I ran it again and still missing things so I reflashed and tried restore again, now TiBu stalls. When I went from b22 to b23, I did a factory reset and then restored from TiBu and bam, everything was perfect. Not so this time. Not sure anyone can help, just relating my woes.

Based on this experience, I would not recommend anyone do a factory reset if going from b23 to b24.:(

Alright, cool. Not to be a real moron, but when I restore my 22 build I will be good to clean flash 24 then?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ncwildcat:
Make sure you wipe internal storage when you go from 22 to 23 or 24 - The way internal is handled is different on 4.3 than it was on 4.1.2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Wynnded:
Can you get the ROM running without doing your restore? If you can, try that, then redownload your apps one or two at a time as you need them. Or even restore them one or two at a time.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobz0202:
So.. I went to my TWRP Restore from Build 22 and something was really weird about that, too. It booted and I got the UIDs error, which I never got when I made that backup. But worse off, it was Build 22 and 4.1.2, but it was missing... most of my stuff. My app drawer had like 10-12 apps. Play Store wasn't one of them. I didn't get the media error, or the other two, but I got the UIDs error, and then it said a couple times " Unfortunately, Calender storage stopped working."

I then wiped internal, reset, etc and flashed 23 from my external and all the errors ive previously talked about returned.

I don't know what to do now

I thought I could only do a nandroid from recovery? In either case, the link I got for wallet was very confusing. I remember it being very easy the last time I did it. I found a zip file called Note2_TW_4.3 (can't remember the rest) so I thought I remembered I just flashed that from recovery so I rebooted into recovery and now I get the teamwin screen flashing and it never enters recovery. It would not shut off so I tried pulling the battery but everytime I do that and reboot it goes to the teamwin screen like it's trying to load bu just flashes.

I need big time help here! I've never run into an issue like this before!

Couple of questions...

Good evening everyone... dumb question time on my part... There's just a BUNCH of pages and it is hard to locate responses that are for build 23 and/or build 24.... I just upgraded to 24 from 22 earlier this evening... and I have some dumb qeustions as I have stated before... hehe...

1. Is there an option somewhere, I am sure I am overlooking it, but when you have a instant message on the screen, and you put the phone to your ear... can it be set to call that person who texted you?

2. Some of the screens are hard to read when setting various options. What's a recommended fix for that?

3. Can the pull down notification area be darkened? It's a little difficult to see the pull down menu.

4. Can the "A" battery icon be turned off and just use a regular battery icon or one of your choosing?

Thanks in advance.

Don't hold your breath waiting on help with SD swap. Few really seem to care except for a handful of us. I ran agni swap on B23. It worked but not quite right for me. Swap with perseus kernel worked perfectly on previous builds. It looks like things work differently with 4.3. As much as I would like to use SD swap with Agni Kernel for this build, I will not. I just received another 64gb SD card from Amazon in the mail that I purchased because my SD card stopped working while using Agni Swap. My card had been in great condition. Could it have just gone bad? Was it user error? Did it have anything to do with Agni swap? I don't know and with so little help on the subject, I'm not risking my new card unfortunately.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mstrakt:
Also reporting a dirty flash from 23 and all has worked perfectly. No errors or issues.

This is probably the first time I dirty flashed, ever. Lol the thought of putting everything back made me dirty. :)

Edit: actually was there ever a fix for the multiwindow customization? When adding new apps to the bar a random app would appear instead of the one im trying to add. Someone posted a way around this before. I was hoping it would be fixed in b24. Thanks

1. If you use the tw messaging yes you can.

2,3, and be changed from rom control> colors >background colors

4. can be changed from Rom control> statusbar and toggles >statusbar options> Battery options
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BoostedB18C:
I would say never restore wallet. To be safe, any time you are flashing a rom, open wallet > settings > change user. That will remove your acc from wallet and prevent you from a possible borked secure element. After flashing, use the zip file that has the libs and wallet file.

Man I really need help here. Did I brick my phone? Everything was running fine on b24 and decided to reboot into recovery to flash the wallet zip and I get teamwin splash screen and then it flashes like it's going to go but then I just get the splash page again and keeps cycling. A battery pull is the only way to shut it down. I've tried going into bootloader and then rebooting but it goes right back to the teamwin splash screen.

I have no idea what to do at this point and my phone is obviously unusable in this state.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Edit: So I used Odin to flash the latest TWRP (v2.6.3.2 I had v2.6.3.1 before) and this seemed to fix the endless loop trying to run recovery. I was then able to boot my phone but it didn't look right, some elements were not there. I decided to do a factory reset again and reflash b24. When I did the factory reset, I got the following error message: E:error opening '/data/data/.com.vlingo.midas/ap

E.error too many open files.

The above message is repeated 3 times then a couple more messages and then the same error three more times.

I ignored the error and reflashed anyway. Everything seemed to work perfect but when I got to the message about buying some beers, the next button would not work. I had to pull the battery and when I restarted, it went to the startup for the ROM with the language question, etc.

I don't trust this flash so I tried factory reset again and again I get the above error messages.

Could someone please help me figure out what I need to do next. I really need this phone to be functional but I'm in new territory for me. I've been rooting and flashing since windows mobile 5 on an HTC touch pro and have never run into any problems - always been very careful to follow all directions to the letter.

I'm lost at this point.

Should I ignore the error or is there a fix?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Outlaw621:
2 Questions.

1. How do you change the color of the brightness slider check box and check mark in the notification pull down panel (the slider is changed and so is the word Auto but I cant figure out the check box and check mark)

2. How do you change the text color in the long press - shortcuts - choose shortcut menu. It is a kinda greyish color and is hard to see on the bluish background.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] statustray:
Yes, I am using TW messaging, but don't see the option for it to call the contact while I am on the messaging screen. On B22, it worked, but on 24 it is not working for me so I figured there must be an option there someplace.

Any good choices that you could recommend for color combinations to make things easier to see?

Also thanks for the insights on the battery... I've made the change ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cej7122:
I'm not the expert but if you can't get into recovery you need to use Odin... What you should Odin though I can't say...

From all of the screenshots there doesn't appear to be text w/ the toggle icons.. is there a way to enable the text?

Also it looks like you are using lidroid for the toggle mod.. from my S3 days I think i remember that mod not supporting the POWER SAVING MODE toggle as an option. Is this available as well too?

I finally made the jump from stock rooted to this ROM (build 4), and I'm kicking myself for not doing it sooner. Incredibly smooth. Nice, clean look. Just really polished all around. I can't wait for future releases!

I know a lot of suggestions have been made in the last 125 pages or so. Here's my wishlist for future builds (I'm not even sure if any/all of these things are even possible, but that's why it's a wish-list):

- Aroma option for standard Google calendar app instead of TW-flavored one

- Aroma option for no media player so I can install my own after the fact (analogous to the ability to choose no file manager)

- Exchange security bypass in EMail app

- Aroma option for blue-toggle mod

- Auto-correction in Samsung Keyboard

- Option to remap long-presses of back and menu keys (long press menu = multiwindow; long press back = kill app)

- Remove "feature" that automatically decreases volume every time you plug-in headphones, and pop-up that warns you you're going to damage your ears

That's all I can think of for now. Hope this doesn't come off as ungrateful, that's not at all my intention. This is a great ROM and I'm sure it will only get better.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] porkandbeans:
Great Rom, I just have a couple of bugs to report. When we use the swapped storage, the camera will not store pictures or video directly to the "memory card" which is actually the old internal storage. Also when you download anything, you have to go into web browser and select internal storage 1 time, otherwise it will save it to the "memory card" which was the previous internal storage, and it wont install or display correctly. Also any music stored on the "memory card" which was the previous intall storage, is not read or displayed by google music.

I'm confused, why is there Wifi Tether TrevE installed when the built in hotspot function works perfectly fine and also untraceable from VZW?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Taxmaster:
I know that I was told by a Verizon rep that even if you have an unlimited data package that you couldn't use the built-in hotspot function and that they would charge you for tethering ... this is confirmed in multiple sources online if you search. At any rate, they also said that by using a 3rd party app (like Wifi Tether TrevE) that they cannot detect it as tethering and just see it as data usage, hence permissible with your unlimited data plan.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleevasteve:
At this point I don't think there is any easy way for you to enable the text, and yes I believe you are correct about the power saving toggle. I don't see it as an option in Beans custom toggle settings. Not sure if he can add it or if it's because it's in lidroid.

The blue toggles rock and I think it looks cleaner without the text.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] burbank:
Here are a few random thoughts which may help:

1. If you can reliably get into TWRP, maybe try doing the factory reset but then also formatting the system partition, clear cache, clear Dalvik, and then re-install a ROM. The factory reset does not wipe the system partition and you may have something FUBARed in there.

2. I don't want to start a controversy here, but in certain situations Clockwork Recovery (CWM) may be a better choice vs. TWRP. Can you safely get CWM installed and try #1 again?

3. Worse case (which really isn't bad if you have experience) is to reboot into download mode and use Odin 3.07 to restore the phone to Beans' MJ9 factory image (which I think is already rooted). After that, you can re-install b24 and be good to go.

Does this help?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Vlip3:
Thanks! Those suggestions look really helpful. I will try them in that order. After the stalled flash of b24, I pulled the battery and then it booted as though everything was fine, asked me to select language, login to Google, etc. but it didn't look right, didn't even have Nova Launcher. It was almost midnight by that time so I just let it download all my apps from Google (rather than use TiBu which is much faster). This morning, still no Nova Launcher.

You can really help me out some more if you know the answer to this, something I've never really been clear on. When restoring from Titanium Backup (backup all user apps + system data) which restore do you (should you) use? I've used "Restore missing apps + all system data". I was afraid my problems may have been caused by slight differences in the folder structure between b23 and b24 that restoring system data may have corrupted. Is that a possibility at all or should I not worry about that?

Thanks again!

On b23 the system settings had tabs along the top. ROM control was under the "My Device" tab. Now on b24, there are no tabs and there are two items under "AllianceMod": "Custom Settings" and "Rom Customizer". Is this correct? After doing a restore from TiBu on b24 for the first time, it reverted to the same scheme for settings as I was seeing in b23. Maybe this is what caused all my problems, restoring system data may have hosed this.

Reformatting the system partition solved the error messages I got and I think I'm now on my way to fixing my issues. Going to restore from backup user apps only. I wish TiBu was included in the ROM. I think I remember it being in one of the earlier beans builds but can't remember why he took it out.

BTW, beans is the only ROM I've had on my Note 2; been on it since b13.

Sd Swap?

Went from Beans 21 to 24. Odin'd mj9, cleared and wiped everything except my extsd, flashed 24 with Agni, no problems. All my apps redownloaded fine from the play store. Immediately then went to Agni controls to turn on Agni ExtSd2IntSd because we all know how valuable sd swap is....and ended up getting a million force closes from all my apps saying they stopped working, including agni controls. So it was a ***** trying to get back in there to shut off sd swap....went to manage apps to clear the agni controls app data and still no dice...

1) Anyone have any luck getting sd swap to work on 24? Any help would be great...even if theres some work around with editing system scripts somewhere or something. The battery saving profiles seem to work great though. Didnt try the stock beans 24 kernel because i read it didnt have an sd swap option.

2) Is there a way to get the battery icon to show JUST the numeric percentage instead of both the number and the icon?

Thanks! Loving the Beans roms!

I miss sd swap also.

from my understanding SD Swap from AGNI is not really sd swap it is more like running a virtual swap. I have not tried it was scared to ... even more sor since you posted your problem, I had some kind of script which did sd before i was using beans and before he incorporated it it into his roms. I will see if I can find it in my files and see if that works. I miss sd swap!

Just wondering if I am the only one having issues with Google Voice notifications. I've been on Beans/Alliance (with the occasional brief stray...) since b15 or so, and I haven't had this issue until the 4.3 re-base. Basically, I get the Google Voice messages if I open the app, but I don't get background notifications. I was on a different 4.3 ROM before A23 dropped and did not have the issue, so I don't think it's strictly a 4.3 thing. I've only noticed it on the A23/24 builds.

If it's got nothing to do with the ROM, I'd love if someone could offer a suggestion on what I can do to fix it. Otherwise, I deal with it because this is by far the best ROM I've used on any phone!
