Low Resolution Wallpapers

Is there any way to place and view wallpapers in HD? not this compressed format that makes the wallpapers look blurry?

A no scrolling option would be cool if this is not possible. I'm pretty sure our Notes are capable of handling HD wallpapers. I'm using Pic Speed and the wallpapers are still crappy looking.

Any help on this topic would be great.

Thanks in advance.

I'm running into issues where Sbeam will not transfer to any other phone. It's not the toggle issue as reported in other builds but the Sbeam will give an error on the receiving phone with "Sbeam connection failed" Both phones on same Wifi, (or off wifi, doesn't matter) and trying to send 1 image to another phone. Tried to send to my wife Sprint S3 (stock) my buddies Note 2 (Verizon, stock) and my other note 2 (Sprint running Whomp4.2 as well) no go. All get the same message of "Sbeam connection failed".

Before I jumped to the latest build this was working fine. Is there a samsung app that needs to be installed for this to work that maybe I over looked during the install?

I try to run the mod installer from the internal storage but it always errors out saying a file is missing and never runs.

I did a clean install and my camera app doesn't have the option for voice either. Would installing a backup of a camera app that did have this feature work, or will I mess it up?

Did you realize this thread is about a Rom and not your issues with another member, instead of giving your apologies about responding, you should of been the bigger person and responded in private, or better yet not respond and move on, instead you choose to take up half of a page on the Dev thread which we don't appreciate. Just move on and let it go.

Back to this great Rom, I did reflash on top of the Whomp 4.2 and I have not had an issue since about the time changing to 3 to 4 hours back out of nowhere, so maybe an app, or something else, but seems good so far, great work EVO appreciate all your hard work. :good:

Whats the process of just upgrading from 2.9 to 4.2? I dont want to remove everything and reconfigure everything...Would a simple flash thru TWRP do ? without wiping data/cache/dalvik?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Richardsonke:
Upgrading without wiping data is possible, but unsupported. You can do it, but don't post problems if you didn't wipe data. Always wipe cache/dalvik.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] hardrock121:
So everytime I upgrade I have to set everything up again? or a simple nandroid backup /restore should take care of it right?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Richardsonke:
You can use titanium backup to restore your user apps, which makes it much less painful.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] hardrock121:
This is really weird.. how do i access internal sd card? I moved the rom to internal storage and now thru twrp i cant find it.. :/ whats the actual path anyone remember?

edit: found it in data/media .. interesting
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] wizzlewizzle:
I have been successful in restoring data only since whomp 1.3. What I did to make sure I got a clean flash was to do a full backup just in case, then wipe Cache and dalvik Cache, then wipe system and do a factory reset. I flash the rom and then restore data only.

If that works, then you should be able to install the full rom on top by only wiping system and caches for future version updates.

so to answer your question, yes it can be done. It doesn't mean however you'll always be successful, as it depends on the type of apps you have installed and if you have clean data.

I would give it a try, good luck.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] evolone:
Anybody else have the problem where the flashlight turns off on screen off? I thought this was previously resolved. Is the problem back with 4.2?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] SpikeOhio:
Nope, never had that on this rom or any other rom, or any other phone for that matter. That's a new one for me. Sorry!

---------- Post added at 11:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:25 AM ----------

I didn't even know that was an option! I'll have to give it a try when I get a Chance. I can't use My Camera at work. what Camera version ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DSR_1106:
This option seems to be working for me.

I did do a "full wipe " including factory reset, and did select s voice and did not select 4.2 camera option during ROM install, which is probably not relevant, but this is what's currently working for me...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DJB628:
Just curious, does anyone know what the Mobiletrackerenginetwo.apk do ?? Reason why I ask, I had to do a system scan of my Laptop last night and in safe mode it tracked and deleted that from the Whomp Rom, see picture below
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] wizzlewizzle:
I know that someone before was having this issue, however I've had every version of Whomp since note cards (before it was called whomp) and this flashlight issue has never happened.

One thing I can say is the other guy chose a toggle color mod, I always choose stock colors. If you use color mods, Please try reflashing with stock colors, full rom install.

-Wizzle
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Melijah:
Huge fan of Whomp!, just something I've noticed, not sure if it's me specific: when flashing, sometimes it will freeze and I have to pop the battery out and retry. Second thing is that the system ui crashes during setup, doesn't cause any issues however. Also, adobe flash is possible with install, yet it will not do anything?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DJB628:
You need to sideload flash, it never works when I instal it from Aroma, so I sideload it and works fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Melijah:
Awesome thanks for the quick reply!

Voice capture works fine for me too with the camera.

---------- Post added at 02:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:45 AM ----------

The flashlight has never stayed on for me when the screen shuts off using the toggle, I've tried stock colors and other colors with no difference. The best I got I think was on 2.9 with a complete clean install and no additional apps. It seemed to work initially. Then after reinstalling a bunch of apps it stopped working again. I even went so far as to uninstall each of those apps one at a time until there was nothing left on my phone and still could not get it working again. At that point I gave up and installed tiny flashlight and use its widget, it works fine, but it's one more app I shouldn't need. No big deal though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] wizzlewizzle:
Sorry to hear that, I hope someone has a better suggestion.

-Wizzle
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Melijah:
I just use the flashlight widget. Takes up a couple spaces, but it's bright. Mine also shuts off after the screen locks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] evolone:
Good to know it's happening to somebody else ...I also upgraded from 2.9 where it was working perfectly (no problems with other app installs, always worked) ...upgraded from 29 to 42 with full wipe, even full internal sdcard format.

I swear I remember posts about this issue being a problem and it resolved, I maybe should find them.

It would be awesome if the dev could get this fixed. The rom is great otherwise!

(Thanks in advance)

The flashlight was never actually fixed. I tested every version. An app is the only thing that keeps the flashlight on after the screen turns off like (tiny flashlight led.)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bocaccio:
Anyone notice the battery going down more than stock. Usually I could unplug my n2 at 530am and go to PT then get in my car at 8am and it'd b at 99%. Now its at 95% and yesterday for 9hrs it went down to around 40% I used it as normal. Play games, text, fb. Not a lot though cause im at work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] chrischoi:
So my notification light blinks blue randomly. Does anyone know what that might be? Says calendar but I have no calendar events.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DJB628:
Have you checked alerts in SMS, emergency alerts
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] chrischoi:
Nothing. :(

It blinks and fades away every 3 seconds.

I turned off the blue / Calendar notification light, then the white started to blink. I disable Light Manager and hopefully it stops.

Fully disabling LED notifications under Display made it stop. But I'd like to have my notifications back. Dying.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] crxsi420:
Mine does this too. What I found is that if you go into the calendar and open the next event thats on the list it goes away. It seems that it has some set timer of say 1hr that its looking to notify you vs what you set in Google calendar. My Google reminds me 30min before an event but the blue light always flashes about 1 hour before the event. See if thats the same for you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dathion:
Mine does this when i have an email in my second gmail account. But I am odd and have to have 3 emails set up to my phone for work. the secondary doesn't give notifications but the phone still blinks when the account has mail sitting in there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] chrischoi:
My Google Calendar and Calendar are clear there is nothing. The last thing was 3 weeks ago, I got a haircut.

I have one Gmail and one Outlook account. Both have 0 unread emails. I made sure of it.

I went as far as freezing the Calendar app, still blinks. Should I just let it go?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] duongdn:
Mine blinks if I have a message in Google Talk. Usually when I'm using Google Talk on the laptop. I just go in and click on the person I was chatting with on my phone and the light goes away.

Battery life is worst than previous versions. But I'm sure the next release will fix it up :)

Try wiping everything and not restoring data, mine goes down but not that much.

I had that issue with the JB clock that you can install. It still counts down but it FCs when you hit the home button.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrjeancw:
Is the latest release freezing on install for anybody? I pick my options on aroma then it unstalls but when its done and gives me the option for "save logs and next", once I press next it freezes. I have to battery pull and the phone goes back to twrp. I originally had 2.4 installed which if I do awipe after the freezing I could install no problem. Any insight?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] evolutioncsr:
Working on the next version guys I can not get into too much detail right now. I will try and fix some of the small issues we are having mostly with the installer, and it's options.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Macguyver:
The best thing you can do is

install from the internal storage and don't have it plugged in. If you do that 90% of the time I've had no issues with the freezing.

Good news, there really isn't much to fix though so I'd say just take your time. If you need me to test let me know.

Hi all I loved this rom but I kept having battery life issues. Drains faster and charges slower compared to macks. I used stock kernel. Is perseus better?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bocaccio:
On perseus and have same issues as you. What rom ru on now?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DSR_1106:
On Perseus OC'd to 1.8 and Whomp 4.2

Battery life is very good but I am using WiFi over 50%of the time. I suspect if I were using cell network more, things would be quite different.

Are you primarily on cell network when experiencing rapid battery drain?

I also use Smart Memory Booster set to

Auto boost every 30 min at 650MB threshold.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] wizzlewizzle:
it could very well be caused by your apps. download carat from the play store. it will give you a better idea of what. may be draining your battery.

as for stock, stock kernel gives me excellent battery life. I can go all day with out a charge.

-Wizzle
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] evolutioncsr:
The battery life issues you are having are not caused by the ROM I can assure you. I get amazing battery life. You most likely have a rogue app causing some kind of wake lock and keeping your device from entering deep sleep.

Same goes for others saying the battery life is worse on this version than others...Nothing has changed in the ROM even in the last 3 or 4 versions that would affect battery life.

Please use one of the many apps to find your rogue app or try a different kernel.

Do not forget to take into account your network coverage as having a bad signal can kill your battery extremely fast.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrjeancw:
took it off my battery charger case and went right through. funny, it was off an everything, i guess it recognizes the port.

Does anyone happen know why I can't seem to find the voice activated camera function?

like when you say "cheese" it takes a picture.

I saw several videos of people with the note 2 being able to do this on their note 2 with the stock camera app.

it doesn't seem to appear in the camera settings, tried both stock to and jellybean cameras.

*edit*

nevermind I found out you need s voice installed which I typically do no do.

Anyone having trouble with noozy? It crashes as soon as I try to open it. I've installed an updated version but same issue. Can't seem to uninstall it..was this added to the Rom since 2.9?

Thanks guys
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DSR_1106:
Just go into app manager and force close/ disable it. That's what I have to

do to run my ported DSP Manager on

4.2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Macguyver:
X2, every version of whomp I have to

uninstall noozy and the noozoxide rewire thing as they make the equalizer app I use with Spotify force close.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleshepic:
Sounds like a missing lib
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DSR_1106:
Did you do a "clean install"?

I have to force close and disable

Noozy and all those audio related

things myself to use DSP manager but

its all good after force close/ disable...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleshepic:
I bet if you do a tiny bit of tinkering with the zip prior to flashing it'd be all good. Lib folder from Noozy prob just needs to be integrated into system/lib folder of rom appropriately. If an apk isnt installed normally, and just put in system/app, any lib files need to be manually placed. Happens a lot with noozy and Google search. Might be something else, but that'd be the first to check
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Macguyver:
Yeah I always do a clean install.

It doesn't bother me, I don't do any local music so I never use noozy anyway and the equalizer app I use is the only one I've found that works with my stereo bluetooth headset.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] evolutioncsr:
Noozy itself opens and plays media fine for me. Clean install like always. There should not be any missing lib files it has been working fine since we added ac!d the install directories in the updater script look fine for full install.

I can not speak to whether it break any other things like dsp manager. Let me know if you guys find anything wrong with noozy. I just installed clean install to test and it works fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Maxx134:
very good idea I just installed carat.

I noticed with a few app updates the phone does not charge as fast.

does it have to be in sleep to charge faster?

I would never bother with stock kernal when perseus I can adjust things.

I set charge at a higher rate in the sttweaks app but not notice faster so i think the dam automatic update of some app messed me up now i have to reflash .

stupid google settings..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Melijah:
Yeah it freezes. I just pop the battery out, go back into twrp, retry install. Works like a charm.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tgamer:
Thanks for the response..maybe I messed it up disabling something that I can't recall now..not a deal breaker..I will wait till the next version of the rom and do a clean install...setting everything up from scratch just isn't worth it to me for a media player since I mostly use Pandora anyway.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Avi8ion:
I got 7 hours on screen time on one charge! Is that good? Because i'm new and this is the 5th day of owning this phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Macguyver:
I use an equalizer app that causes noozxoide rewire to give me an force close plus it closes my Eq app. So I just uninstall noozxoide and noozy and then I have no issues. However I don't use noozy so idk why it would do that but the Eq app that I use is what is causing the issue. So if anything I don't think you need to fix anything as I'm causing the issue by using this equalizer app that I like and I've found an easy way around it. Its been going on since I came to whomp on version 2.4 and as I said its not a big deal to me as its my app breaking it and I found an easy work around.

---------- Post added at 01:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:34 AM ----------

Yeah that's above average I think. I've never gotten that high on mine but I usually have no issue getting 5+ hours which I'm more than happy with. I only get worried if its sucking down juice on standby, which its rarely ever done. Enjoy the phone, this is a great rom to run on it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Avi8ion:

How does flash work on this rom? I selected flash during the install .. I see the flash settings but nothing seem to work at the flash settings or any flash based websites..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Melijah:
If you're using Google chrome you won't see any difference. Try using the default browser.

Try flashing it without it and installing it without using aroma. That's what I had to do.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DSR_1106:
Flash won't install properly with Aroma

You need to side load flash....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] hardrock121:
That will mean that I have to reflash the whole rom and setup the accounts/apps etc manually again right? Thats just too painful.

How do you guys restore everything after rom upgrades? I use titanium, but restoring in batch process prompts me to install every single app which is painful,..whats the alternative?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] evo_like:
If you do a dirty flash on top of your existing setting, you shouldn't have to setup the accounts and such though - at least, i have never had to do it.

Usually what I do with all Whomps: i make a nandroid, then fully clean install of ROM, then do a restore of data only from the initial nandroid I had made earlier.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Macguyver:
I do batch restores using titanium. But batch doesnt prompt you for every app, I just go through the list and check the ones I want and hit go and like 10 mins later it's done.

Do you have the paid version of titanium?
