Yeah I don't see how it could be beneficial. Just because no dirty could be left behind. The first step of restoring a partition image is removing the old. Which would of course include all data it held.

---------- Post added at 04:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:09 PM ----------

No, it would not hurt. But you can do many things that don't hurt but are also completely unnecessary. Personally I subscribe to an economy of motion approach. That and fully understanding what it is I am doing when I do something like a nandroid restore. For me, it doesn't leave room for a statement like "it can't hurt" because a statement like that, for me, means I don't know what is happening. Not judging. Just how I approach things. Not everyone will and the 5 seconds the wipe takes you is not going to hurt ya :)

I was pointing out how beans beats it hands over fist!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] HughesNet:
Clearly you did it wrong. I didn't state anywhere any of the things you decided to claim about me. Next time you try to do that I suggest you don't do it unless you have all of the partitions backed up. I bounce back and forth using that method from Pacman 4.2.2, Beans, and Jedi with never a single issue. That would not be possible if it did not work especially between the 4.2.2 and 4.1.1 Roms. Keep learning man. Maybe eventually you will figure it out. I imagine you don't generate an MD5 on your backups. Your restore could easily have just been corrupted and your issues have nothing at all to do with whether you did or did not wipe first.

Feature Request

OG Note II software included a 'Screen Recording' feature which provided a method to record the entire screen. It was initiated using Volume Up + Home button.

Video of it working:

I know this topic was talked about when the phone first came out but I have not heard anything about this since then, anyone know of any updates on it?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] HughesNet:
Samsung did not include this feature in their release product due to copywrite concerns.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] angus454:
first.... thank you

... I've got a couple of likely simple to solve problems with the new update but first I'd like to say thank you for releasing the update. Its a really great rom and I just love using it. So thanks:) OK... two questions... the little slide out menu always turns off when I reboot the phone even though the checkbox is checked when I go look. Is there perhaps a conflicting setting forcing it off? The other is that when using the built in updater this version will just not download at all. It starts and. Immediately fails. Any suggestions for either of these would be really great. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] HughesNet:
Best not to use the built in updater right now. It was not working correctly before or after the release of 14. The best bet is to use Chrome on your phone or your desktop to download the rom directly. Do not use the android browser. No idea on the slider though. I don't use the multi window features myself.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] crash613:
Doesn't a wipe remove all your settings and installed programs? necessitating at least an extra hour of setup? I really don't know, that is why i am asking :)

Regarding another post in this thread: What do you use to back up an entire partition? Is the purpose of doing so just incase something does get messed up? Or is there another reason? I understand there is a different filesystem in 4.2 roms.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BoostedB18C:
Group hug in the shower tonight!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] HughesNet:
1) yes it does but those settings can themselves also be backed up.

2) That is the sort of backup you get when you backup from your customer recovery. TWRP or the like. the reason is to be able to return to that exact point in time on your phone if you want to. Be it due to a problem with something you flashed or just because you want to.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tfly212:
For me it was trial and error. You have to change the hex values of each individual component. I can't find the list of what each of the six represent, but I known that the last one is the pie outline. There is a great thread on the LMT launcher itself which gives tons of detail. Below is a copy of my hex values. When I did it I copy and pasted the hex values of one I liked from the LMT thread and just started playing with it.
