Thanks beans you rock
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] denpad2010:
For example ni was downloading the new Google play apk someone posted here, well I download and when check on my notifications bar download is complete so I clic to install and a error message pop up. There is something wrong with my storage I guess, I download zip manager to check my files and when open the folder downloads that's is in the phone memory the app fc, when flashed this rom I did the sd swap
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jjr3211:
Are you using sd swap
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] snapcrackpop:
So Step 2 is incorrect in the OP?

"Step 2-

Wipe all(factory reset and davlick wipe) if coming from an old build"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bfitz26:
how do i go about using this downgrade thing i am on carbon rom right now?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chakra:
No thaat is the "correct" way. However you can dirty flash, I haave been and have had no issues. So you dont "have" to
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleevasteve:
Just flash the ROM and then flash the downgrade zip.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bfitz26:
can't seem to find that zip any where
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] geesosa73:
I flashed the downgrade and my file system is still reversed.. I wiped system, data, and internal memory. Any ideas? I was on Carbon ROM as well.

---------- Post added at 06:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:15 PM ----------

manually open the .zip and look in the SDCARD folder.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] denpad2010:
Yes
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gzsmooth:
Or you can get the downgrade zip from Cyanogen Mod under original development in the OP
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] D1G1T4L:
Ok seeing all this info on what the correct way to flash is Dirty/Clean......

What is the preferred way to dirty flash? Just wipe the caches?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gzsmooth:
Yes, that is all I do.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] speedfreak228:
Thanks!!! i would love to have this!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] guthrien:
Per the zero lag mod... That makes this the perfect ROM in my opinion. Thanks and congratulations on the job.

Updated to build 13 and the Beans OTA keeps telling me that it wants to update to 0.1.2 from 0.1.3

Seems to be confused.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jam2315:
Yea idk if I should do it or not lol...any ideas???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] statustray:
I think this has something to do with the naming convention in the ftp server. But you are right though in that it is definitely a bug for sure.

Mine is doing the same thing. I am not getting the popup to update, but when telling it to check for an update that is when I get the message you are talking about.

I wouldn't update again because you already have version 13. You probably did what I did by not doing ota, right?

I have rebooted several times for one reason or another (installs and such) and I get the notification everytime.

this program actually allowed me to swap my internal/external storage. i was running a 4.2.2 ROM and could not get my storage to restore.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Caveman419:
I downloaded from the web and updated that way too. I was getting an error trying to ise the Beans OTA.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jjr3211:
You need to change the app your trying to install from external storage to internal or maybe its the other way around. Just move it from witch ever one it downloads to to the other one and it will work I had the same problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BeansTown106:
oops lol forgot to delete the old rom from the ota server :P its deleted now u wont get any notifications although if u look for an updatte it might say no rom or whatever until i add b13 to the server
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] statustray:
I am not getting that popup for whatever reason. It is very strange that that is not happening for me :( Hmmmm.

Also in an effort to duplicate the pop up, I restarted my note 2 just now- but have not received it yet though.

Here again, definitely a bug for sure :)

Is the zero lag mod something that can be installed anytime, or should we wait to flash all at once? I have no issue waiting, I just don't want to do a setup again if anyone has insight about it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lallymonster:
I was running build 12 on my Galaxy Note 2. Phone broke (fell out of my pocket at a Pacers/OKC game last weekend). Took my phone in to Best Buy. Got my replacement. I'm rooted and unlocked. Trying to go straight to build 13. I've wiped, everything, multiple times. I get to the boot animation screen with JB's logo and the falling Jelly Bean Andys. It's now been sitting there for over 20 minutes. I've wiping/factory reset over and over, but just can't get passed this. Anyone have any suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ahirman:
Is it just me or is the inverted aosp mms not completely black after the update?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gzsmooth:
I've had this happen. Did you check MD5 from OP? I sometimes have to download from a computer and transfer it to my phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jeremiah_1988:
Only thing I see (and could be nothing) but even after choosing 720 YouTube, the app is the red icon and not the blue anymore. Could be my eyes...:D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lallymonster:
I haven't, but I will right now!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ahirman:
Same here
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BeansTown106:
it wont require you to resetup unless it just gets built into the next update but most likely will make a flashable in a minute

have you updated to the new twrp?

oh ya i didnt realize lol.. someone in the app development section makes the app he must have forgotten to add the blue icon this time :/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lallymonster:
Is there a way to update to the newest twrp in my current, can't boot to anything, state?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jeremiahEJ54:
Should be able to pull your SD card and download to load up TWRP zip and flash it in recovery
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lallymonster:
Will try right now. I redownloaded version 13, checked mp5 and now it's failing on install. I'm having all kinds of problems.

---------- Post added at 03:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:44 AM ----------

When I try to flash the newest version of TWRP, I get "skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found. Error flashing zip..etc. etc." and it fails.

Man 13 updates since the note 2 has come out on verizon, that's more than two a month. Thanks so much beans you are keeping me from getting bored with the device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hopesrequiem:
I just install 12 and then read here and there's a 13 already haha thanks brother
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ahirman:
Ok I'm not crazy. The inverted mms has changed.

12 is black and 13 is not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cmo220:
I could be wrong but I think the background color of the MMS is from a file in framework.res.apk / res / drawable-nodpi / background_holo_dark.png or tw_background_holo_dark.png. Maybe that file is a different .png now. I can't remember for sure though. Maybe that only controlled the background of stock MMS. But there might be an option in the inverted MMS to change the background pictures.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ahirman:
I just noticed that the settings menu looks the same way. It was completely black and now It looks like the second pic.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cmo220:
Than I'm pretty sure that is the problem. He said he changed settings to make it look more like AOSP. Look at those two files I mentioned in my last post. Take the different ones from build 12 and put them in build 13 and it will look like it did before. You can either open it with 7zip and insert it into the new ROM zip or you can use ninjamorph and do it through that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BeansTown106:
ya i didnt realize this file affected everything lol.. and its not the inverted mms that changed its those 2 files in framework-res.. was trying to get more of an aosp look as on aosp its kinda like a black to grey gradient. u guys like it or no?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JBeXX:
I went black so don't think I can go back?

But yeah I liked the black better but this is still not too shabby imo
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ahirman:
Love the black!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] evilhunter101:
I like the gradient, actually.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lallymonster:
At this point, I can't flash anything in TWRP (including a new or older version of twrp). I've formatted and reformatted my sd card 1500 times. I'm trying to just go back to stock and start over. Odin won't even recognize my phone at this point. I've installed and reinstalled drivers. I've restarted my pc. Nothing.

It recognized everything fine 5 hours ago when I started the root process. I'm at a loss and fear I'm stuck with a brick.

I love the black anyone have the files to change it back.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleevasteve:
Have you tried flashing from the internal SD card? Tried flashing a kernel? Either way, best bet is prob just to go back to stock though if you can get it into Odin. And if you're getting into recovery, I don't believe that it's hard bricked.

Hey guys....any suggestions here....everytime I use wifi hotspot 2 tether no matter where im at...as soon as it connects the 4g signal goes in and out constantly. It doesnt even switch down to 3g then bk up to 4g....it just constantly switches from 4g to nothing. So I turn it off and have a solid uninterrupted 4g signal. It only happens when I tether tho so dnt think its a radio problem huh

Love the new beans 13 build so far. Is there any way to get the normal screenshot command (power and volume down) to work on this rom? The screen swipe is cool but I always ends up messing up the screen and changing the picture I'm trying to get. Tried searching but seems like it's down right now.

Thanks.

I agree. PPI or DPI would be awesome. Porting PA settings on this bad boy would be a major plus for me.

absolutely everyone has to learn somehow, I have v1 of bean on my phone now and love it. Clearly want the current version but that requires a bit more knowledge.

Becasue it requires you to unlock the phone and such.

Damn, a lot of people are having a hard time with this huh? :D

I've been working back to back doubles and haven't even gotten around to unlocking yet.

I get off at 6am then it's off to the races. :thumbup:

I think for our first customized rom it's dang near flawless just a few normal rough spots. Bean totally honed this rom on the S3, I was running it when I switched.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] biggboii:
Well... realized what my problem was with not being able to get Aroma to show. I had checked off another flashing option for themes and never UN-checked it. Spent all night before I finally remembered it. But weird thing is after Aroma flashes ...phone boots back to TWRP and never boots PAST it. Went back from the very beginning (stock) and re-did the entire process... still nothing. Even flashed CWM and get the same results.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WishRyder:
When Aroma is done, it goes back to recovery. You then simply reboot system and all should be golden. That's how it worked for me anyways, an I'm enjoying all the Jelly Beans 2 goodness.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] GermanGuy:
Ready to jump on this ROM. Has anybody installed wallet successfully yet? Does it still require all the steps of copying over multiple files and changing build.prop?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] SOTK:
Thats how Aroma works for every device. It's just an installer which runs, so to speak, on top of your recovery not unlike an application installer in Windows. When its done, it closes and you can see your Recovery screen again. You can then Reboot System and you're good to go.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] biggboii:
Thanks for you input but you're not understanding that you CANNOT boot PAST TWRP. It's almost like a continous loop. Don't worry, I'll figure it out. Obviously no one's experienced this so I wanna recreate my steps so that in the future if anyone does... they'll know how to get themselves out.

Finally got it to boot. Thanks Beans.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] morbidz:
Got wallet setup. Flashed the zip then renamed the hacked file, installed from market, changed build prop, setup wallet, deleted the market wallet, renamed the hacked one back , changed build prop back, profit!

Thanks. I am following you on everything except the "renaming the hacked file" - which file is that?

Last night I wiped everything and flashed build 13. Everything was kosher except for one minor annoyance: When I open the green Google Settings > Search, Web history is Off and greyed out, and I get a popup saying "Could not retrieve settings. Please retry later". I reflashed build 13 and got the same results. I figured Google servers were messed up, so I left it alone and went to bed. This morning I went into the Search panel again with the same results. Gmail sync is enabled, and under General Settings > Accounts > Google, there are no sync errors and all services are checked. I am probably overlooking something simple, but I can't figure it out. I don't recall having this issue on build 12 :confused:

Just to be clear, do I need to backup my text messages if I'm dirty flashing and keeping the same messaging app?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tfly212:
You should not lose your texts with a dirty flash but if you want to be safe just use SMS backup from the play store. I dirty flashed last night and all my texts were there with no issues (using handcent).

Lovin the Beans - Need some Titanium Love

Dear Fellow Beans Users :)

Special thanks to Beans himself - Outstanding work as Usual.

Is there anything (Galaxy note related) you cannot do here - I am enjoying the new release but I have an unrelated request.

If we have someone good at using Titanium (Pro) can a primer be made so one can just pick the apps, data, preferences, widgets and clean flash into the next version.

I am going to spend hours getting back on track over the next few weeks - If this is avoidable I'd love to know how.

Thanks for your time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] athack:
it says in OP to wipe everything if coming from an old build? when i went from b11 to b12 it was just a dirty flash? does going from b12 to b13 require wipe all?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ahirman:
You can pull the 2 image files from the framework-res.apk in 12 and replace the ones in 13 and flash.

framework-res.apk is in system/framework/

The files in the apk are in res/drawable-nodpi/

background_holo_dark.png

tw_background_holo_dark.png

Worked for me. Loving 13!

Dirty is ok, but clean flash if you have problems. I clean flashed twelve and then dirtied thirteen. Running smoothly but if I have problems I clean flash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] CAPTainJRacine:
Thanks for the link, but for some reason I was unable to get any of those inverted files to flash. Tried Dropbox, Play, Gmail. Internal SD, External SD. Deleting previous apks first then trying to reflash :(. Extracting and installing. Nothing. I guess I will stick with no inverted versions.

Search Web History is normal here after dirty flash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dr. Droidberg:
You can try dirty flashing with any build if you want, but if you experience any bugs, it is recommended to clean flash before reporting them here.

Some people claim to have dirty flashed every build & see no issues, others say they always have issues unless they clean flash. It just depends on the individual device.

Personally, I always clean flash because I back up & restore all user apps with Titanium Backup. I've gotten to where I can be back up & running with my preferred setup in about 15min after clean flashing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rolfsted:
I'm one of the lucky ones I guess who has dirty flashed since build 1 day 1.

I really doubt I will ever jump ship from beans' ROM. I am watching the MIUI thread though! :D

Not new to build 13...had this on 12 too. I use the pie controls and blacklisted a number apps where it would be unnecessary (games, email, etc). Although the pie doesn't appear on those apps, there is a "dead zone" where the activation area is/would be. Anyone else have that and if so, any way around it? It's not a huge deal but a minor annoyance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] heatpipe:
This happened to me too. I noticed the connection would immediately drop when the client initiated any type of traffic. What worked for me was changing the SSID on the hotspot to something totally different, and setting up the clients again.
