yeah, this is becoming apparent to me. platt has apparently had good luck restoring the data partition, I've never used that process, usually just TB to restore stuff.

in the middle of a diff process, seeing if this is successful. so far, so good, have data, confirmed the issue is Not with the rom. ;)

edit: well, that was a bust. confirmed, restoring a data part can cause the issue. one last attempt at something and then giving up on an easy setup.

it's not the accounts, it's the apps and accumulated data. TB works well enough for me, never once had an issue with it, but since platts suggestion at data part restore thought I was going to get an even lazier restore. I mean... quicker restore. Like I mentioned, never used that process, and likely won't again.

(I never rom hop, I'm usually stock rooted, unless a dev I know and trust releases something. like platt.)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Leoisright:
To be honest, I dont use titanium or any backup software. Google pretty much reinstalls the apps I need or use. Plus the playstore keeps a list of all your apps in case you forget.

At worse case it takes 30 minutes setting up the phone and signing in to all the accounts, setting up homescreens, folders, and what not. For those who say its a pain and restoring is easier. Well, as a dev I flash way more times then you probably would and do a full clean install only on major releases.

Also, try not to rom hop. This causes some issues too. If you stick with one rom and their developers, you will have much greater stabilty. Updating prls and profiles arent really needed unless new towers are put up or upgraded. I may upgrade those once a year maybe more.

Saying all this, I just dont have the issues posted. This rom is stable and works phenomenal. I dont care about torch lockscreen cause I can spend the extra 2 seconds accessing torch in the app drawer. I really need weather and news on the lockscreen.

But please, try to adjust how you flash and how often you jump roms. If you dont restore data you may just be surprised how smooth this rom really is.

Food for thought....

Edit....this post isnt directed at any one user or comment. Its generalized to help minimize problems for an enjoyable experience

I clean installed r78, booted and completed initial setup, went back and restored data partition as the last step. Data connection is working for me.

Not sure if you did it in the same order. If not, it's worth a try. I'm like you; if the easy way works (restore data partition), why do it the long way.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mhester50:
try dirty flash. Don't factory reset. I would start with 53, not 76
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] qitupx:
I recommend using this: *#0011# to view 4g connections. This will show even weak 4g signals your phone decides not to connect to or the real signal strength of 4g. Remember, the signal being reported in the status of the phone is the 1x signal. So even though you might have full bars and a 4g logo, you might be on the edge of the signal. Anything above -110 dBm is pretty useless, I've had my phone connect at 115 before but usually no data passes and it reverts to 3g. It even kept going back and forth for a little while, very annoying. It hasn't connected on this new baseband though, so perhaps it isn't as quick to switch as before.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] OneoftheRabble:
I had forgotten about this one! Thanks for the reminder.... It is a good way to check your 4G.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] neopolotin75:
I had no issues on 76 w/data so I dirty flashed 78 and lost 4g on automatic and cdma/lte. I did a full wipe 5 times flashed 78 and still had data issues so I went back to 76

Edit: I reverted back to 53 then wiped dalvik/cache and flashed 78 and have no data issues. :thumbup:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] kingdazy:
well, as a final note, I got 78 installed, all network data services working, and even restored a data partition. i followed coiledwires suggestion, for SnGs before admiting defeat. (although, TBH, I could have run the rom clean, installed all my roms and setup everything from scratch twice in the time I took to do this. ;) )

for what its worth, I DO NOT RECOMEND (as noted by smarter fellows than I) restoring data partis. But I wiped the heck out of everything, clean installed, booted and logged in, let settle, recovered to an Old Data Partition (pre-synergy, stock), and for whatever reason, works perfect.

I'm stubborn. sometimes that works against me, but in this case, I prevailed. ;) thanks everyone for participation and feedback.

as expected, this ROM is fan-fugging-tastic, worth all donations made to the dev(s). if you have not yet, consider doing so. platt and leo have put in Tons of effort to make this a fantastic rom, both on the surface and under the hood. like he says, "what you wanted your phone to be like right out of the box.".

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] simongabriel:
Not sure why this is the case, but still relatively new to my Note 2. When I enter *#1234#, it simply opens up SuperSU. Getting ready to flash the AIO and wanted to make sure I'd be able to verify afterwards that it was successful, but this seemed a tad odd. Any help? Thanks.

I'm going to try that.

Another big issue: my phone not waking up. It is still very clean after installation.. nothing fancy.

Steps:

1. try install AdAware to clear out Ad,

2. reboot, turn on screen check the application list.

3. phone go to sleep

================>>> now when i turn on, screen is not on.. phone can't turn on.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] OneoftheRabble:
Same thing..... Fix permissions across the board and see if that clears this up. It obviously has something to do with the AdAware. But I am running AdAware without problem. Also, check your settings and make sure something didn't get tweaked somewhere in the process. I am thinking that when you did your restore something got scrambled.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] simongabriel:
Thanks, was going to try it, but after using the AIO, and then flashing R78, it no longer happens, so no worries. And MC2 for all three slots, so it looks like the AIO worked successfully. I noticed that there's no build number for R78, it just shows XX, no biggie, but thought I'd pass it along. I know Platt was just trying to get something successful pushed out. I noticed after updating Profile and PRL, it really wanted a reboot, before downloading stuff in the Play store, too. Again, not surprising.

I can't test LTE, not in my area, but I'll be able to test 4G later tonight, on my drive home. I work in a small pocket where 4G isn't. (Of course).

Everything seems to be working just fine, so far. Was a full wipe, fresh install.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Abrego39:
I flashed the zip_for_realease_r78 and I saw in the changelog that Aroma installer was used...the ROM flashed properly but I don't know if there is reason why Aroma installer wasn't included or available
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] OneoftheRabble:
Thanks for the kind words. Glad it all worked!! Yeah..... Platt was a bit tired and plain ol' forgot to rename the build. :silly: I promise to give him an extra jab about that. :good:

Let them know how you like the ROM after you have a chance to put it through its paces.

If you had gone back a few pages in the thread you would have found out that there were some real problems with Aroma and Platt and Leo wanted to produce a good, working ROM. So they took it out of Aroma and did the r78 build. Now they are working to fix all the Aroma problems so that they can release it working and sweet.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] huytrang90:
Just tried it.. It DOES not work. Phone is still rebooting after do a fix permission.

Steps:

1. wipe cache, dalvik

2. do fix permission from TWRP.

3. reboot.

4. launch system tuner (after wipe its cache and re-install prior to reboot to recovery)

5. phone restart.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] OneoftheRabble:
I would try reinstalling it now. Uninstall and then re-install.

The only other thing I can think of is that you have something set in Settings to start at boot that is colliding with SuperTuner when it starts.

I'll definitely pass along any praise or questions in the thread, no worries. Just finally glad to be on a new phone, was on the old EVO for two years, and then an EVO 3D for another (insurance replacement), been jonesing for a new phone for a long time, and was able to get the $150 upgrade option for the Note 2 on Amazon, and couldn't pass it up. Being new to Samsung devices, still new to Touchwiz, although I've used it on several friends/family phones. Rooting was stupidly easy, no paper clip jumping involved! I noticed all the sprint stuff was installed this go-around, and I haven't checked to see if there's any trouble uninstalling it all, yet.

I noticed on R53 for the longest time the GPS wouldn't update weather on the BW weather widget, but I'd just as easily blame that on the widget, as the default Samsung one worked just fine. Still odd though.

I'm also noticing that Treve's app is installed on this version, but on R53 I was able to tether with the built in just fine, to my tablet. Do I need to use Treve's app now? Literally just did the update, and waiting on apps to install, so haven't tested yet.

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] OneoftheRabble:
Welcome to the N2!! I also came over from an Evo. This thing makes me smile a lot. :) No doubt that it is easy to work with. Platt and Leo did an awesome job on this ROM. Makes it even easier and fun.

With the step to MC2 there has been some real firmware updates to the GPS, Data and WiFi receiver loops. They all seem to be a bit more sensitive. But it was probably the way the widget was making the call. Hopefully it works good with r78.

Treve's app just seems to be a little "cleaner". But you can certainly use whatever works best for you and that you like. One of the great things about this! :) Uninstalling the bloat is pretty simple. Just like the Evo. If you are using something like ROM Toolbox, that will do it. If it can't then you can take out the apks individually and clean it up. That is one of the first things I do with any new ROM.... see how much I can take out before it breaks. ;)

as far as i know, no, thats as good as it gets right now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] OneoftheRabble:
You may be able to. I have no idea how the ROM will react to an old base like LJC vs the one it was written to being MC2. All I can say is you can try and see. Personally I would not suggest it. But it isn't my phone.

It just doesn't take that long to upgrade the firmware to make everything happy.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] simongabriel:
This might seem a dumb question, and I promise I've read through the entire thread, but it's a bit overwhelming. If I want change the number of rows/columns on the Touchwiz homescreen, is this possible? And also, if I change to a different homescreen app, I'll lose things like Multi-Window and the S-Pen stuff, correct?

EDIT:

Ok, never mind, I just tested it with Holo, and both of those features work just fine. Is there a benefit to still using TouchWiz that I'm not familiar with? Some sort of system integration that I'm missing? I know Sense used to be a pain that way, on HTC devices.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] doubledragon5:
So how do I update the firmware with the phone already rooted...

There are a couple of ways. I would suggest using one of these. Or both if one of them doesn't work.

A few things I did and I wanted to share them. Hopefully I'm not stepping on anyones toes. The flashable zips are attached below.

Modified the SystemUI.apk with the following: fixed to actually show 1X when connected to 1X only, copied LTE icon over the regular 4G icon (too hard to see between 3G and 4G), updated battery icons

Modified HiddenMenu.apk: removed the dumb requirement to type 777468 (sprint) when trying to check your signal info screens in the ##DEBUG# screen. Just leave it blank and hit OK.

Kudos on the ROM guys. Ran it all day today and it worked great! Love the simplistic stock look. Fits me perfect. Speed, stability, and not all the mess. Keep it classy!

I ben running this for a few hours now and it is smooth. I found a couple of freezes here and there but I think is just matter of letting the rom settle down.

Though I was able to stream music, photos and videos to my blueray player. Which is kinda cool but with this rom I don't get the option to do so when I'm using the music player or using the gallery app to view my pictures and videos.

Am I missing some setting or is it something about the rom that doesn't have that feature working?

Seens that my phone started disliking ziggy's kernel as time went by. Flashed last night and it rebooted once when installing my apps from the store. All was well this morning while making calls. Around noon I had a conference call and around five minutes into the call the phone shut down. Grabbed the phone and it was extremely hot. Removed battery and let it cool down. Powered phone and was able to make calls with no problems but then I was not able to download apps because the phone would reboot and it would do a factory reset by itself. Going to try another kernel tonight cause I like this rom and hope all goes well. Thanks Platt & Leo.

I've noticed after the crash I had that some apps that I had restored (app only, no data) from TB I had to uninstall and reinstall from the market. Flixster, the Starbucks app, so far. Gmail and dropbox had somehow backdated, so I had to reupdate both of those. And Paragon just flat out would not run. I'll try reinstalling it later. Also odd, System Tuner just disappeared, and trying to reinstall, getting a "-24" error, which looking up, one suggestion was to remove the /data/data info for that app, which I didn't find, so I'm on the hunt for that. And actually, think I might just try a different app. Already spent more time than a different app is worth in terms of cost. lol.
