Beans and I were taking yesterday and the fact that I was friends with Hashcode0f came up and he commented that it'd be cool if he could make SafeStrap for the n2...

So I've been talking with Hashcode0f about creating SafeStrap for our phone.

It's TWRP with multiple Rom slots allowing you to have anywhere from a dual boot system to your choice of 5 different roms to choose to boot from. All setup and ready to use, which is great for WIPs like alpha builds, nightlies or non DD quality roms. When a new build drops for one of them you just download it, activate the slot you have it in and flash the update and boot in to see what's been fixed and if it has become DD quality. If it hasnt, boot back into SS and activate your DD slot and your back to your DD in less than 5 minutes.

I assume you guys would all be interested in this? I'm just trying to gauge how much I should bother the man. He's pretty busy with a VZW Moto device getting unlocked by djrbliss for the first time in years.

Sounds interesting however when you go from one ROM to the other ROM does that also means that all user data is different for each different ROM system ?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] HughesNet:
I would assume so. So there is still an initial setup for each slot but once done it would be awesome. I am interested for sure.

This would be great to have!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BeansTown106:
damn another new one lol..

ya reflash and swap will be back

best bet would be to backup the app and then after reinstall delete the app and restore your backup

not yet :( and for sure the second it comes out i will work on porting my rom into the new update :)

better battery stats or wakelock detector

that sucks :9

would have to revert the whole music player theme best bet for this is to just grab the stock musicplayer out of a stock based rom and overwrite mine

def a placebo it was confirmed by google

option one is in phone options, option two i will look into but it might be a pita.. there is a widget for it though

i know people on tmobile are using this rom u might wanna try it on att it most likely will work

nope same as when it was included i just took it out to get the i cant change my losckscreen wallpaper to change clutter to die down lol

i dont think so u would have to do that via app

blame sammy LOL :P

these should work but might not be the most up to date

for sure ill def do something with it lol

are u running this on sprint? does it work well?

would be soooooooo badass!!!

you would have to create more or less data partitions on your sdcard for userdata on each slot

Ok I noticed massive wake locks from svc_led. Someone mentioned it was the led notification which I don't much care for anyway. I disabled it in display settings but it still blinks...I have Perseus so I'm wondering if that is interfering since it has led settings now? Still can't figure out how to turn it off though...anyone?

Problem installing twrp

I posted this at twrp as well. Not sure who can help. I loaded B1 into my phone without incident (I think). In order to load B2, I tried to instal twrp from the goo manager. Now, when the phone boots, I get a big yellow triangle asking me to go back to Verizon. Something about unauthorized software. Can some one help me figure out how i screwed up? I can get to Odin OK and tried to reload B1, but no go. Both regular boot and up volume/power/home give me the same triangle.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chakra:
Dude you can not just load any TWRP, you need one specifically for Verizon note 2, its the version that ADam has set up for our devices.

Did you unlock your device first?

You need to go to the unlock thread and start from scratch, if it doesnt work then you have a brick my firend.

Why didnt you just unlock like everyone else?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mkhalil06:
this whole process is super easy

i'm not going to lie, i was very intimidated at first and was to hesitant to unlock the bootloader

but not because of the difficulty of the process, only because of the cost of the device

and a big big big shout out to beans on this whole aroma thing

hands down the most innovative thing i have ever seen in rom development
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] suzook:
Peeps should really stay on topic...if you have problems unlocking, or recovery problems...keep the questions there. This is beans thread.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lazybulldog:
Simply cuz I'm not that smart! Thanx for you help. I'll try to unlock now...

BTW, I did use the twrp for the verizon note 2, but that was from twrp directly.

is the built in hotspot feature disconnected from verizon's evilness?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] XooLoo:
First off HUGE thanks to Beans for the great ROM--as always...

One question I have for you all who flashed yesterday, how do you feel about the battery life so far? I understand it'll take a day or so before the system is fully optimized and the battery life can be judged... but I figured I'll pose the question now to see if any one has noticed any major improvement already perhaps.

One thing I did notice last night was that when I went to bed at around 1 a.m., I had 2% left when I plugged in my phone. This morning around 7 a.m. the phone was barely over 80%. Definitely odd... It took another whole 2 hours before it was fully charged. I kept it plugged in for another couple of hours or so, but I'm already down to 90% after about 1.5 hours of being unplugged. Again, I understand it may still be too soon, but... don't remember before when flashing a custom ROM on my Galaxy S III or Rezound, the battery charge speed was ever affected as much as my GN2 was last night... FWIW, I had absolutely EXCELLENT battery life prior to rooting and even post-rooting on Revision 2 or 3 or whatever it was (basically right up to when I unlocked and flashed). Again, not complaining at all. It's too early to tell, but mainly want to know if anyone else having long charging times like I experienced last night.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] FormeriPhoney:
I don't know why on build 12 and 13 the wake lag has been much much worse for me personally.

I didn't have that issue on previous builds.

I'm sure beans can incorporate something in the next build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jcollier:
Same here. I have actually stopped using, but I wanted to point it out to the person that asked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Obsidian...:
No not really but you need to setup your ext sdcard as your dl location etc.... The only user data you'd really need to backup and restore is your sms/mms. All of your picture etc will be found when you open your gallery. I'm sure there are some things you might want to backup and restore but you really won't be running a bunch of DD. It's more about testing and nightlies

Exactly. Once you set each one up your are gtg. It literally stays the exact way you left it.

Imagine that with an unlocked device :)

Sounds like my job is set in stone for this device. I'll continue with my work

Yeah after we talked I ended up talking to him until like 5am lol. Here we go

I'll do my best ;) Luckily I run the main threads at Droid-Hive (where I'm a mod), Rootz and Droidrzr for the Bionic which is how I got tight with him. I know he's told me there have been other devs that have made a multiboot custom recovery but I haven't seen any. If anyone knows them go ahead and ask them as welln as a backup, but I assume he'll get one to us in the near future. The best way for us to get full support would be to get him a n2.

If 50 people throw in $10 this would be possible. $10 to have the phone you'll be using for the next 2 years have the best Moto hardware devs support along w/ SS. I'd be willing to throw in a c note and find a way to collect the money. We could either use a 3rd party or if you guys trust me I could collect it and buy the phone when we hit our goal. If you all want to do this let me know and I'll talk to Hash about it. He doesn't do this for the money but having the device would be a +. If you guys think this sounds good I'll run it by him. If he says it's a go I'll need everyones help in speading the word to the n2 community.

I really want to keep the buzz of this phone going and get as many good devs involved. From talking with all my dev friends I know people have stopped donating pretty much all around and that needs to stop. If you use someone's root/unlock exploit or their rom (as your DD), kernel or custom recovery then you should throw them a buck. Everyone that owns a $700 device can afford a $5 donation here and there. Besides being the right thing to do, and also being a great way to say thanks, it'll insure that the things you like stay supported.

I donate regularly to finished products and not every update but a majority... and then sprinkle a little around the kernel development or anything I find of use (like unlocking adam) ... i figure it's only fair since I have bought things on Google apps...the only thing I won't do is ask a developer to come and make something for a phone because his motives are to make money... i like it better when they enjoy playing and developing because it creates an environment that inspires creativity and a sense of pride...no doubt your friend is an awesome developer and is enjoying what he is doing... and if he enjoys coming to the note 2 and developing... he is always welcome... and for sure he will get at least one donation from me

Getting Hash a phone isn't giving him money or bribing him. Asking a dev to develop for a device he doesn't have doesn't make sense. It's the least we can do. He isn't some dev that just kangs other people's work, adds it all together, tosses in some theming and calls it a new rom, he actually creates the stuff that gets kanged. He made the kernel for the Kindle Fire and made kexec work with Moto devices, a work around the blown efuse'd locked bootloaders, so they now have custom kernels etc.... He's an official dev for CM and saved Moto by creating SS.

The idea is to ask the man if he has enough time to help us out. If he does then pitch in and get him a n2 if he doesn't then we don't. But before I get to that point I need to make sure there are enough people willing to pitch in so that we can even get him one or else I'm not going to bother the guy. I know Forums and teams have bought him every Dev version of each Moto phone out there so to say he's a Moto guy is am understatement. I doubt he'd even use the n2 as a DD.

Anyway you get my point....

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] HughesNet:
Honestly I don't much get the point of this either. What is the benefit of having your external storaqe seen as internal storage... I just don't see it. Either way you have the storage. If anything it just seems to introduce another (rather large) thing that can potentially break. I actually so far prefer the separation of the internal and external sources and the ability to eject my sd card while my phone is running which I would imagine you can't do it your phone has sdswap activated.

Is anyone able to verbalize an actual benefit to doing this rather then just describing the mechanics? It is obvious that it allows your external storage to be seen as internal. But the question is WHY would someone want or need this?

I would imagine for very large apps such as some of the big games on the marketplace can only be installed on internal storage. Sdswapping allows you to install these very large apps directly on your external.
