I love my lockscreen! LOL! ESP the ink effect! :cool:

I did try another TW based rom and i think i ran it for 20 minutes and i just HAD to go back to Jelly'Beans'!

This is the first ROM to calm my flash habit! My previous devices were all consisted of flashing to try to find the best features and best functionality. This covers it all the way around!

Thank you Beans for doing such a fantastic job on this! I continue to look forward to your future work! :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] highwaybandit:
Yeah not a biggie I transfer the buisness phones on my cell during the day and for some reason whatever lock screen I was using was freezing my phone and it was useless until I pulled battery . So I would miss calls . Thats why I switched but back on it trying with ripple effect off like beans said so far so good
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Obsidian...:
Trust me I get it. My last device was locked so we barely had a rom that could be a DD so I had to flash back and forth just for the use of things like the use of my camera. Hopefully your fix is as simple as that.

Beans has been my daily driver since I got this note in january I beleive . Nothing compares. I do stray once in a while to scotts rom but nothing like beans . and this chronic battery is the s**t everyone I show it to wants it!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kirch21:
What is chronic battery??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] freddy0872:
I believe he's referring to the battery icon style under "Rom Control">" Status Bar Mods"

There are tons of available icons beans threw in there for us! :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Wynnded:
One of the battery icons that you can select in the Status Bar Mods in the Rom Control Section of Custom Settings.

are you on stock kernel? only time i have had this issue was either being on perseus or because of a bad charger cord or a bad usb port on phone(luckily note2 u can swap charging ports "Very" Easily :) i think i have like 3-4 spares laying around let me know if u find out if its the cord or the port.

same here :)

ya the only reason i think kernel related at all is withperseus and stweaks i have had issues in the past with it but that was also a while ago

lol ya i know :P thanks appreciate it. i actually just did the .bak method n transferred it over i was getting crazy acore and contacts force closes but i used some knowlege and deleted the /data/data/ contacts folders and no force closes sense

its the chronic leaf but as a battery lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BeansTown106:
so i have been talking with dwitherell from team Sbrissenmod and he has been more than helpful with alot of things. he has let me use some code/logic for a decent amount of new mods. i think the #1 mod u guys aare gonna love is the toggle for mikeyxda's wake lag mod now no need to flash extra zips etc. u can just toggle it on or off depending if u like it etc.

so more or less make sure to goto his thread and throw him some thanks and if your looking for a good rom without the aosp theme i would honestly recommend trying out his and imnut's tweaked rom they do excellent work as well :)

so at this point the current changelog is this expect a cpl tweaks to it between now and release i wont be releasing tonight because i have to be up in 4 hours to bring out of town family to the airport but itd be safe to assume build 21 will be out tomorrow

Best Rom by far. Haven't had my note too long but I'm already in love. Coming from the galaxy nexus I used the BAMF Rom and it had this tremendous feature that if you were in the lock screen you could drag the circle down to turn on the flash light. Seriously one of the best features ever. That's the only thing I miss about that phone. If you ever get something like that going that would be awesome. Fantastic job as it is, though, no complaints.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Tophaholic:
Finally settled on this ROM...has everything I need. I prefer running at 280 LCD density and this ROM helps me do that on TW base. I run nova launcher, aosp MMS and also email. Replaced dialer with market apps to help with scaling. Use rom toolbox to change LCD density.

Tried several aosp Roms...but got tired of low volume issues. TW base works well for me for now.

Looking forwards towards build 21. I wish TW was scalable I.e. at 280 LCD density...but happy with nova launcher for now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BladeDreams:
Ok.... so we looked up "soon".....awhile ago..... lol!

Not looking tomorrow up..... ;)

The headphone protection disable - this also work with Blue tooth headphones aswell?

Hope!!!!

I Havent tried the data/data method but ya that's safe to say that works too. I know using the .bak method, It was A MUST to reboot after renaming them and moving the new apks. Maybe I'll shoot a video and post it in your thread on how I did it. But glad you are adding it !

Dwitherell roms were solid on my Droid Charge. He shaped up to be a great developer. I'm glad he's contributing to this rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dukins:
Thanks beans can't wait to try it out. **For [MENTION=4395895]beanstown106[/MENTION] ** Please don't forget to add the flash able zip to change carrier text. Thanks much appreciated.

Me too...he is awesome at fixing problems with extremely clean work...I have been wanting this since beans rom is verizon based and dwitherel has tmobile I didn't see it happening...but dwitherel and beans it might just happen that verizon will have to bow down and ask to buy it from them...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Real_JESRadio:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
So I came to the conclusion

Im not going to let a couple of blue waffle lickers on XDA stop me from what made my AllianceROM pretty special. And Im not going to let it stop my optimistic attitude I have on here to help others. I have much love for you all in my AllianceThread and in [MENTION=4395895]beanstown106[/MENTION] thread that I decided to share

MY

transparency mod with all of you in here as well. In fact, I made it all flashable for you.

Beanstown Transparency (This will activate the transparent-framework mod) -

The zips below are different levels of transparency you want to have on Beans. This was sparked by ForeverSupra's idea!

0% Transparency -

25% Transparency -

50% Transparency -

75% Transparency -

100% Transparency -

This should all be compatible with Beans 21 which is scheduled for an obvious release today. Enjoy!

P.S. With a little digging into the system, you too can also change the pulldown carrier text on beans. Mines obviously has my username but instead of it glowing with the 33b5e5 color code, I have a glowing white when you pull up.

Now if only I can find the stock toggles for this rom...... [MENTION=4395895]beanstown106[/MENTION]

All you gotta do is press thanks & that shows me ya'll appreciate this!

[/QUOTE] >disabled earphone protection </*>[/QUOTE]

Does this mean that when I plug in my headphones it's gonna be on full blast?

Looks like I'm gonna be on 20 for awhile. :'(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Wynnded:
That'd be pretty irresponsible and imprudent don't you think? Doubt Beans would endanger your hearing like that.:)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BladeDreams:
Good grief! No.

The headphone protection built into all devices....

Does not allow the volume to go up all the way with headphones pluged in.

What Beans did was remove the "stop". So 'you' can go past that if you want.

Of course your normal volume controls will still work the same as before...;)

Now... the real question is: will it work with blue tooth as well?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] downhillvinnie:
Trying this transparency thing, and flashed it but not quite sure what to do from there
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] freddy0872:
[MENTION=2585040]Ohh_Trenton[/MENTION] strangley enough after trying out the transparency it removed my mms.apk

Not sure why yet. thats the only thing i can see thats different for the moment. Just a heads up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BladeDreams:
The SEARCH feature does work ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
Hmmm that's weird as there is no MMS.apk in the zip. I flashed "Beanstown Transparency" off of a clean flash multiple times just to make sure everything went well. I still have my MMS.apk.

Edit: It doesn't touch system/app at all. What I will do eventually is put all this in an aroma with foreversupra so it won't even modify any apks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
That's it. It gave you transparent-framework. If you want less or more transparency you will use the appropriate zips then.

No it stops the annoying text that comes up telling you that you might hurt your hearing if you go past a certain level and making you repress the volume key.

Im sorry im used to non-touchwiz devices. this is my first. it would of been SecMms.apk.

I had it extracted and re applied it to my /system dir and applied rw-r-r permissions and rebooted. the app is now back. but it also purged out all my messages. This is proving to be interesting!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
Ahhhhh you know what, i selected aosp messaging in my install. And i based the mod off that. So i will need to do the same for Touchwiz MMS. I will have one for you today once i get home from work! Sorrrrryyyyyy

In the meantime as a workaround, if you are using Touchwiz MMS, take TWMMS from beans zip and place it back in system/app, set permissions and reboot. Worked for me just now!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] freddy0872:
You did flash the beanstown_transparency.zip first correct? that actually allows it to function in framework.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] downhillvinnie:
No worries, just wanted to make sure I didnt mess it up LOL.....I did flash the first zip, then tried different transparency zips....No fun workin on a Saturday
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] freddy0872:
HAHA! No big deal man! It happens! Such as me failing to make backups regularly i lost my messages LOL!

No big deal man!

We greatly appreciate the sharing of your hard work here! :good:

Okay and i will try out the fix you have for touchwiz now as well
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
If youre using aosp messaging, you should be fine.

If youre using touchwiz messaging, take TWMMS from beans zip and place it back in system/app, set permissions and reboot.

Works just fine! Just a workaround for now. [MENTION=3388697]freddy0872[/MENTION]

Took down the zips because I know exactly what the problem is. That's what happens when you're up till 5am with last minute ideas!!! I will have fixed transparency zips today! Sorry for my mistake :/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] drew_p:
Just wondering, will I have to re download again after the fix? I already was running aosp messaging so it went well and looks amazing. Just curious.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] npainter7:
Noob question here. When 21 comes out I'm gonna be doing a clean install. But I would like to backup my text messages. In titanium, I've backed up my MMS before and flashed a ROM clean install once before. I restored my MMS but it didn't restore all my messages. What am I doing wrong?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] freddy0872:
Ive never seen an issue with TiBu causing SMS/MMS backup issues. Double check under "Restore/Backup" Tab that the SMS/MMS section has a valid backup for the days date and a very recient time.

Other wise maybe try a few other apps found on the Market that backup SMS as well. Do a search and im sure u will find a TON! :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] npainter7:
Thank you kind sir:D I'll mess around with it

Also... as a 2ndary backup.... I use sms backup and restore. Free in app store ;)

Best Kernel for Battery Life

Hey guys, I've been on beans since like build 12 or so. I've been on Perseus kernel and Saber and stock. I've had mixed results from build 20 from Perseus and Saber. What are you guys having the best battery life with? I've never tried PB&J but I'm willing to try anything. It seems my battery life hasn't been as good on build 20 as it was with previous builds. I did a clean install for 20. Nothing dirty. Anyone had any very noticeable improvements from any kernel in particular? Thanks for the input guys.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] freddy0872:
Again with speaking of battery life it all depends on each users type of usage. And each kernel acts differently from device to device. Even tho they are the same phone model... the hardware is still different in certain aspects. (So Your Results May Vary)

I would suggesst since you did a clean install try out PBJ kernel and see how it works for you personally! Someone may post something negative and you wont try it. And it just might kick some serious ass!

Id give it a shot! Ive tried all of the above and have found perseus to work the best for me however.

GOOD LUCK!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dr. Droidberg:
I strongly prefer Saber. I underclock it to 100MHz & switch the governor to Hotplug. When my phone is @ rest it only uses 1 core. :thumbup:

I've got 66% of my battery left & I unplugged my phone @ 6am this morning. I feel I have used my phone a pretty fair amount today.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
No if your satisfied with how it came out, no need to download it again. What the problem was i was testing the zips under a sample Flash.zip that had old UI prints in updater script.. So when you flash it, it deleted data/data/com.telephony.provider data & other text messaging data which is related to text messages and deleting the messages. Hope that makes sense

Same here. I'll send you a request on hangouts.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] freddy0872:
Please do! Im always up for a helping hand, or just simply BS'ing!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Obsidian...:
Freddy is right about what he said but just so you know the biggest factor in battery life is your connection to the internet. Signal strength on Verizon's network is that #1 factor.

Obviously if you are on wifi networks all day you can have well over 24 hours on a single charge. Your phone's main purpose used to be just to make phone calls but now it's your data connection. Having 10+ apps syncing throughout the day. That's your data and all of your social media accounts that you have running that check for new tweets, fb posts etc... So obviously if your connection isn't good all of those apps keep firing off feelers to find the connection and keep trying to sync and retrieve updates. This is also true for your connection. It wants to be connected to 4g because you want it to be so it'll keep searching for it until it is connected solidly. That right there is the main reason your battery life will vary so much person to person. The people that post 2 day batt life are sitting at home on Wifi barely using their phone.

So if you are in a bad area or are on the fringe shut your data connection off until you get back. Also if you are going in and out of your wifi zone and onto your 4g your battery will wear down too.

So I'm sorry to say it but talking battery life is pointless. This gets said many times but always without a reason. So unless you find someone in your area that uses the phone the same you do. Screen On, gaming, wifi, 4g and have the same apps running, widgets, sync times, not to mention the same phone this topic is never going to be fully answerable

Edit: This is just a tbh moment. I get it doesn't answer or solve the problem but it at least gives you a reason why this problem can't be solved or answered.

Thank you, I hate the obsession people have with battery life. I have no desire to see if my phone can go a week on a single charge.

I charge my phone whenever I want and I don't disable any of the features. I use my phone more than I use my laptop.

No one expects their laptop to last for days on a single charge, why they expect that of their phone I'll never know.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Nashdroid:
I understand completely what you're saying and I'm not a noob by any means, I just don't post very much on here. While I understand your reasoning, what I'm talking about is across the board battery savings. For example: A 4 cylinder car will pretty much across the board get better mileage than an 8 cylinder car. Sure, it depends on how fast you drive and other things, but I think we can all agree that the 4 cylinder is going to be more efficient. The user who posted above about Saber and the Hotplug governer was EXACTLY the type of answer I was looking for. Thank you to everyone else who chimed in as well. It is much appreciated. Can't wait for Build 21 and finally getting rid of that annoying headphone volume limit warning stuff! Everyone take care!

I'll worry about whatever I want to worry about, thank you. :) Also, when I flash a new build clean and the battery life is noticeably worse, I start hunting for problems. That's what this forum is for. Helping and getting help and discussing this rom. I'll ask whatever I want to ask and worry about whatever I'd like to worry about. Thank you for your troll-like reply, however.

---------- Post added at 06:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:32 PM ----------

I was, IN NO WAY, talking about going a week on a charge and I'm far from obsessed with battery life. I usually don't care about battery life much as long as it gets me through the day. However, with build 20 I have noticed noticeably worse battery life. That's the reason I politely asked a simple question. I wasn't expecting the extreme frustration and anxiety that some of you should show, and frankly I'm not impressed with the the disrespectful tone and judgmental attitude. Everyone has different needs out of their phones and everyone has the right to ask a question on here if they're a member and need some assistance, without being attacked.

---------- Post added at 06:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:38 PM ----------

Thank you for the help. This is exactly what I was needing. Most of these kernels have so many different governors that it's hard to even know what each one does. Thank you for letting me in on what you have discovered to be a good method for some decent battery life. I'll try this out. Thanks again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BoostedB18C:
Call me a troll if you would like to, but this constantly asking what kernel to use to get the best battery life ends up on every other page and there is no right answer. Everyone will not get the same results as everyone else. Try one for a week and see if it works for you.

If I came off as rude, my bad. Just get tired of reading the same question over and over. Although in your defense, I believe battery life has dropped a small amount with all kernels with b20.
