as a quick aside, you sure you wiped/formatted /system when you flashed? not doing that can cause the optimizing apk's every boot. just a thought
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobmd:
Just wanted to chime in that I had a few random reboots and then last night, it hung on the boot up screen with the cool blue running numbers.

I did a battery pull to fix that.

Anyone else get that?

I'll uninstall Wanam and report back

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chuck_IV:
Well, I got around to reinstalling the rom and did format the date and media this time. It helped the sleep of death but I am getting the occasional random reboot, even when doing nothing. Phone will be just sitting there and it will reboot out of the blue. Doesn't happen often but it does happen.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chaz187:
With 4.3 if you flash alot you will get the random rebooting. .... use billards back to stock, odin philz recovery then reflash the rom of choice, reboot to download mode then odin the wifi fix.... all will be good for a while
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chuck_IV:
I don't flash alot tho. I actually haven't flashed anything since version 1.1 of this ROM hit in what, late December. It's been running great with no random reboots till I flashed 1.2.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lennykravitz2004:
At this point, I do not recall what else I chose from the wipe menu options. I'll give this another go at some point today and see where it lands me.

Thanks again for your time.

ETA: reboot just happened again. Wanum uninstalled last night.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleshepic:
Btw, if your using Apex and want to get the transparent status bar to match the background better make sure to turn off shadows. In apex settings, home screen settings, hide shadows. Launchers often have that option and have it on standard
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lennykravitz2004:
I followed everything, wiped everything available in the menu, and same result.

FWIW, I ran into some random reboot issues with the KK SlimROM too (last odexed version from 1/12). Although that was more specific to the reboot menu (i.e. when i pulled up the menu, it would reboot regardless of choosing anything or not). Other than that, it was a very nice ROM.

I was trying to lower the volume on MA7 1.4, but I am not sure what to do. I tried changing default_gain.conf and Volume.db, but that didn't change anything. I was looking at making the volume the default. Any help would be appreciated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Sturmie:
I just upgraded from 1.1 to 1.2 and was wondering, how do I remove the battery mod? I really like the simple "Show battery percentage" option.

Thanks.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Aquarius169:
Does this rom have note 3 features
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] TripleAgent:
I keep losing my SD card, and am getting some reboots. I already uninstalled Wanam, and reflashed. Is there anything else to be done?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tx_dbs_tx:
I agree. I'd like to see the original stock battery as well as the stock Sprint boot & shutdown animations. Then this would be the perfect sleeper ROM!!! Can anybody whip up some mod zips to get the stock battery and another for the stock Sprint boot/shutdown animations for those of us who can't do this sort of thing? I'm not expecting customer service for this rom I'm just wanting to further make it better suit my personal taste. Thanks in advance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mshnayde:
Have been having huge battery drain and problems with the phone requiring a battery pull. Wanted to reflash but need to figure out which apk is needed from the bulk file to allow live wallpaper and also the calling to enable the dialing via Bluetooth headset. Use the dragon go mobile and the headset activates the app. However this was only after flashing the bloat package. Thanks guys happy Easter
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bleichtman:
i got a system update notification. Don't take it i assume? howdo I disable this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chaz187:
When did you get the update notification

From my Smoked Waffle n2!!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bleichtman:
Today, after initial install. It was only about 28mb
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chaz187:
Did you update the mk4 modem

From my Smoked Waffle n2!!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bleichtman:
That I didn't do. I'll try that
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chaz187:
That should get rid of the notification

Gear Manager

I have a Galaxy Gear that was working before I installed this rom. Does anyone else have this issue or does this rom not include the update that allows the Note 2 to work with the Galaxy Gear?

Also, DLNA doesn't seem to want to turn on either...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mdknight:
If it's just the Gear manager missing, it's in the bloatware package. I think it's two apks. If you don't want the rest of the bloatware, open the zip file on your computer and delete anything you don't want.

---------- Post added at 12:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:42 AM ----------

So, I'm at a loss. I've had issues with my phone that I don't believe are directly ROM related as they've come and gone regardless of what ROM I was using. If it gets really bad, I wipe the phone completely and do a fresh install. This time around though, I can't seem to restore my apps and data. Titanium Backup just sits and does nothing (still at zero percent after hours waiting...sometimes random reboots during the process) and TWRP can't restore the Data Partition.

Any ideas or does it sound like I might be screwed? I'm fresh out of ideas.

UPDATE: I guess Philz really does do a better job wiping a device for prepping a new ROM. Started from scratch again... Looks like Titanium is reinstalling my backup now. So far, so good.

One question...I noticed (somewhere in there) that Philz had a "TWRP Mode" somewhere in the settings. I know it's not ROM related, but does that mean I can use Philz to restore a TWRP backup, if necessary? Say, if Titanium doesn't quite work out well enough in the end?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Spydr:
Access to Storage

Hey fellas, I just flashed the ROM for the first time.

Looked Great except I can't find a folder to access my files.

Am I missing something? Is there no way to see my sd card?

Spydr
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mongo23ny:
I believe the SecNoteMyFiles.apk was removed and is in the bloat zip.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] TADitto:
I use ES File Manager it works great with this ROM. Can't remember if there was a file manager supplied with the ROM. If there was I froze it with Titanium Backup as I prefer ES.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Spydr:
Oh. Isn't the Bloat one an older version?

Thanks for the reply ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tx_dbs_tx:
You can still flash the bloat zip just make sure you flash odexed over odexed or deodexed over deodexed rom. You can also open the zip and remove any or all of the apps that you don't want before you flash it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Spydr:
After the ROM is installed and functioning, can a Non Odexed App be added?

If not, can an Odexed file be created for an APK?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mongo23ny:
I would not mix deodexed and odexed. You can add the the apk I suggested as long as it's odexed like the rom. Or ES file explorer, or Root Explorer, my fave.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleshepic:
I used to use MyFiles, but ive been a Rom Toolbox junkie for a while and its one of the first 3 things I always DL from the market on a fresh install so as mentioned I removed SecNoteMyFiles cus I assumed everyone has their own favorite root explorer, and its just bloat
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleshepic:
Yes, everything you download and update post flash will be a deodexed copy in /data/app. Like when an app updates that's odexed in /system/app the new Play store version is DL'd to /data/app and is deodexed. So you can flash/place apk's to that location

Just dont push mix and matches to /system
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Spydr:
Well damn. Since I don't use Google Play Store, I have no Idea how that works.

Maybe I should just ask the question... Is there an odexed version of WifiTether available?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] thunderwagn:
Slesh, are you still going to show some love to the note 2? I know you've got the s5 as well, but I think even with the s5 I'm going to keep the note 2... least for a while.?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleshepic:
Unfortunately I dont have nearly enough time to do half of what I want on the s5
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Spydr:
I like Rom Toolbox too, but if I can't get to the files on the storage card, how am I to install it? Or Titanium Backup or anything else that's stored on the sd card?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Spydr:
Wow, The ROM looks pretty nice and all.

I had to give up and go back to what I had.

Just wondering... Is there a secret handshake required to get the WiFi to turn on and stay on?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sliverr7x:
Did u read the op at all???????
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Spydr:
Thanks. That question helps a LOT!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scoosch:
Hey slesh, what are the other 2 things you install right away? Just curious what your essential items are on a fresh install.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] AllanonMage:
Some kind of weird spyware payload???

I just loaded this ROM and it looks great. Wasn't too happy that auto update was enabled on Google Play, but whatevs. Odd thing was the phone rebooted shortly after I turned off auto update. ROM was pretty fresh. All I had doe was NANDROID and turn off auto updates after I realized it was auto updating.

I was poking around after turning that off and noticed that "Mobile Tracker v1.0" and a few other things with a similar icon had virtually unlimited tracking/monitoring capabilities on my phone. Is that part of the ROM, the toolkit, or supposed to be there? There wasn't much other information there. I'd rather not have spyware on my phone, so what can I do to remove this stuff? Some of it could be legit, but I don't know, I've never seen it before. I am looking in the "All" section of the APplication manager. They all reference the ability to call SysScope. They have a weird Paper background witha gear icon, not the "normal" android icon for system utilities.

com.samsung.InputEventApp

CSC

IOTHiddenMenu

Perso

PhoneUtil

Preconfig

RilNotifier

SysScope (different icon)

wssyncmlnps

Is this spyware or some part of one of those apps I'm not famaliar with that came bundled with the ROM?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] AllanonMage:
VPN issues??

I've tried 2 different OpenVPN apps and they are giving me different errors.

One says that "your android firmware does not support the VPNService API("

OpenVPN Connect says "Sorry, due to a known issue in this version of android, it is not possible to gain permission to open a VPN tunnel"

There seems to be a few problems popping up with OpenVPN based VPNs in various Android 4.x OSs, but none complaine about 4.3 specifically. Usually they complain about 4.4 or back when 4.0 and 4.1 were new. I found this article talking about it on OpenVPN, and they're just pointing the finger, but I can't find the actual bug referenced:

https://forums.openvpn.net/topic13772.html

What the heck??? ARGH

Any ideas on how to fix this up? I'd prefer the strength of OpenVPN over PPTP.

I emailed the email for OpenVPN connect and they emailed me back almost immediately. The guy seems to think the problem is related to the dialog popup for the confirmation acknowledgement that you are sure that the app that you paid for, downloaded, installed, logged into , and just clicked connect, again, is indeed something that you want to connect to, that's designed to protect you from yourself, because that's probably missing, the whole thing is crashing down and broken (my synopsis).

I tried installing these tools:

http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.blinkt.vpndialogxposed

(I think XPosed was already in the ROM though....)

that I found out about here:

https://code.google.com/p/ics-openvpn/wiki/FAQ

but that didn't seem to help with either the OpenVPN Connect app or the other one I am working with.

ugh.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleshepic:
Theres VPN apk's in bloat package
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] AllanonMage:
I'll re-load this ROM (I was hoping to get back to it, YEY!) and then load some "bloat" lol. I guess I just need those two labeled VPN - VPNClient.apk and VPNDialogs.apk? Probably? And then I can use xposed to suppress that weirdo nagging prompt about protecting myself. Maybe?

*update 1*

reflashing to Venum STS (is that what this is called?) and then removing all the APKs besides the named VPN APKs allowed me to use my specific VPN providers VPN app. I will try again in a little bit with the OpenVPN app(s) and see how those do. My next test though is to suppress that super annoying "protection" prompt with xposed and that xposed module.

Thanks given to Slesh for the reply. I work in tech support and it's a godsend to actually get a dev to respond. My engineering teams at work do not deign to respond to lowly people like us on the front lines, so I *love* getting responses :D Don't judge me :-p

*update 2*

Post "bloat" install

I had to install the xposed core and the xposed vpn bypass module to bypass the nag prompt, but it works great. Thanks to the devs who did the heavy lifting!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] gill_za:
OP

I am using different rom for Tmobile Note 2 and the lasso/crop/share feature is missing. I have noticed that you were able to solve this issue in your rom for 4.3. Could you explain which files/apk are necessary for this feature to work?

I have tried judt copying Ssuggest_j_device_only.apk into /system/app and nothing worked.

Thank you very much in advance!!!

EDIT: I figured it out. it was SuggestionService.apk only in /system/app/ folder.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] AllanonMage:
After using it for a while...., lots of random stuff

Is the voicemail app supposed to work? i don't think mine is. I have not explored this though.

I seem to have broken the long press home button functionality somehow. After some form of crash/reboot, a long press on the home button will bring up the reboot menu as if I had instead long pressed on the power button. I reset APEX back to the default settings and that did not resolve the issue. I didn't find any APEX settings that addresses the issue either :-/ Any ideas besides reverting back to a NANDROID?

On a possibly related note, how can I configure PIE to ignore the keyboard area? I looked around the controls and it looks like I might be able to do so, but I'm not sure what the keyboard process is named. Right now I'm using the Samsung keyboard. I'd also like to whitelist the Lastpass keyboard if i go down this route. For now I'm disabling PIE, though I'd like to turn it on.

I've noticed that I still have reboot problems even with this ROM, so I think it's the phone, the network, or maybe an app on my phone. Any tips or logging software to narrow that down, or a list of usual offenders? I tried aLogRec and that didn't really get me much useful info :(

On a related note, does Firefox for Android crash almost all the time for everyone else too?

Is there much to be done about this annoying 4.3 "your WiFi connection is unstable"? I see lots of other people complaining too, but not much in the way of fixes, and it seems kind of like a 4.3 bug almost.

Just got home, will start a mirror now. will be a while.

And I gotta say, cus it's been buggin me(and a few others) a bit.

I (We/Team Venum) will do the best it can to get mirrors and such up in a timely fashion, but please understand in the meantime that we have lives, and put alot into this to get complaints about speeds. Not only do we spend countless hours making something for free, but what most don't know is I/we pay to get you guys a dedicated server for our stuff. I pay every month for access to a reliable, clean server, and have never once made my money back through donations - never once. Think about that. I pay out of my own pocket to make stuff to give away, knowing I'll never make it back. Not trying to *****, just trying to put it in perspective when I read posts about DL speeds. I'm paying money to give something for free, that I spend tons of time on, and then get complaints on how fast it gets there. makes one wonder why I/we do it right? Rant over

that being said, the damn mirror is upcoming lol

Edit: Actually I did once, now that I think about it, Thank you Brian and Avatar :) deserve a shout out

"Now if you wanna be like every douche hole on the planet with your fancy underpowered over priced, piece of last years technology, then by all means get the iPhone.
