[RECOVERY] TWRP2.5.0.1 TeamWin Recovery Project 5/27

That will take you to the twrp thread for our phone, just install the latest twrp and then clean install the rom and then gapps and all should gucci.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WyoSi:
Or download goomanager from the store, then launch it, press menu, select "install openrecovery script" and say yes when it prompts you. That will set up the latest twrp recovery for you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
That is the way a lot of people do it but I've never been met with anything but grief doing that. I always download the zip and flash it myself, that way I make sure the MD5 is good.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] maverixz:
New bug (I think someone might have mentioned it earlier): No 4G LTE and when I check the Mobile network setting> network mode, it shows LTE CDMA (Under the Global option.)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
I think slick said its a RIL issue that sbrissen is working on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] broprah:
Twas I who mentioned it before, and I found a work around. Just open the device's service menu (I used the hidden menu feature in PMR), go to Phone Info, and select LTE/CDMA auto under preferred network type.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] siege911:
I'm having that External SD Card issue even after re-flashing that new build. Did a full wipe and flash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] slick_rick:
Must be your external sdcard. Is it formatted right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] siege911:
Ya. I just rooted my Note 2 yesterday and ran a Titanium Backup as well as a backup in TWRP to the External SD Card. Then flashed the version of PA on the main post from 7/6. After some searching I found the update on 7/8 and wiped and flashed that.

It shows ExtSDCard in ES File Explorer but it's blank. When I tried to mount it under Settings->Storage, it said it was "blank or had an unsupported file system". Not sure how TouchWiz formats their cards but I'd assume it'd be a standard ext3/4 or NTFS or whatever and that PA would be able to read that. TWRP can still read it just fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] benwalburn:
Am I the only one who loses audio when opening the Google search app? Music continues playing, but there's no sound at all. I have to reboot to get it back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallingup:
If you have a 64gb card, i believe twrp formats it as exfat. You need to plug it into a computer and format it as fat32 for aosp roms to read it correctly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] qdroid:
I believe something on the new version is causing the external 64 GB sd card to show up as empty. No clue what that may be but just reporting what I'm seeing when trying to upgrade

If I revert back to the previous release, my external sd card shows its files without any issues
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallingup:
what is the card fomatted as? like i said earlier, make sure it is fat32. my note is dead right now so i cant exactly test it for you, but i know that seems to be a lot of the issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] qdroid:
I will have to double check

However, the previous version has the same fat32 requirement ( I think it's a 4.2.2 requirement ). At that point I did go through with the reformating. However for some reason when I jump to this current release the card is no longer recignized. Reverting back to the 7/21 build makes the card visible again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ahjee:
can't wait for the 4g to get sorted out, once it does this rom will likely be my DD. It's hands down the best, smoothest and gpu glitch free AOSP for our note's...well MY note i should say.

Thanks Rick, for bringing this to us here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
It is sorted just do the work around mentioned a few posts back..about using pimp my ROM to access hidden menu..then phone info... Select LTE/CDMA works like a charm:thumbup:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] falkon114:
Installed the latest version in a post a page or few back. Installed that after factory reset, then installed GApps, currently stuck at the ParanoidAndroid3+ bootanim. ideas?

EDIT

Battery pulled rebooted, works fine.

So, it's a little laggy, but might just be loading apps for the first time. Also, how do I reenable the notification bar on top? and change location of pie controls? I don't like it being bottom middle of screen, and want the note bar back. Thanks!

Edit2:

So.. this is on "4G"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] benwalburn:
Notification bar on top? Are you using tablet mode? Go down to phablet or phone and the notification bar will be on top. It looks normal in your screenshot...

As for pie controls, slide your finger like you're opening pie, then drag up/left/right. A mark will appear at each edge of the screen, drag to one of those to move pie to that spot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] qdroid:
That may be worst than 3G
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] falkon114:
Yeah I saw that if you hold power button, you can toggle PIE which brings back notification bar or removes it. Can the softkeys be disabled?

^ I think it's the connection at my house. I went up to my university and was getting damn near 20 Mbps down. much better!

I think I just need to play with things. The overall resolution is a little big for me, but things work so no complaints. Otherwise... Great! I get a force close in Settings if I hit back in a place or two, but nothing big.

Also, any possibility for getting the MIUI (?I think) battery bar across the top of the screen? If I can get that, I'm set! Great ROM!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
That's actually a bit faster than my 4G is, we were the 3rd city in my state to get 4G, which was amazing cause we are tiny and inconsequential, and over the course of the past year it has done nothing but degrade rapidly from 30-45 mb/s to 1-2 mb/s.

It is the same speed no matter how ****ty of a signal you have too which is really really odd to me. I've tested it on multiple phones, even the VZW store display phones, and they all get the same terrible speeds. Its still better than our 56 KB/s 3G.....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] falkon114:
Yeah so this is more like it !!

Sorry, don't mean to thread jack, but... Gps? GPS no worky..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] benwalburn:
Yeah, open PA settings, go to interface, and under workspace, lower nav bar to 0%
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] falkon114:
Worked like a charm! Thanks!

How about that GPS? Eh? Eh?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] benwalburn:
You're one of the unlucky few. The only fix I know of is backing up your rom then flashing touchwiz. Get a GPS lock there, then restore your rom. Somehow you keep your GPS.

---------- Post added at 06:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:48 AM ----------

Ok so now I'm having my own issue. My phone crashed while typing the last reply. After rebooting, the part store turned auto updates back on, several failing, saying "couldn't install on usb storage or SD card". Also, Chrome rest like a fresh install.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] falkon114:
Camera force closes as well. Saw it mentioned before, is there a known fix?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] benwalburn:
Two methods. The easiest and best is to flash a new kernel (plasma is awesome). Option two is below, copied from a few pages back.

How to get camera working:

1. Download Script Manager from the Play Store and allow root

2. Go to the root directory then /etc/init.d/ and run the 80cfw script

3. Reboot

Or run these commands through terminal or adb shell:

1. busybox cp /system/vendor/firmware/SlimISP_*.bin /data/cfw/

2. busybox chown system /data/cfw/*

3. busybox chgrp media /data/cfw/*

4. busybox chmod 0775 /data/cfw/*

5. Reboot

Looking back, the nav bar removal guide is under the op. It would be nice if these other issues were in there as well, instead of "any CM bugs". Might save some trouble. Maybe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] falkon114:
Thank you good sir. I haven't flashed a custom kernel before outside of Aroma setup. Can it just be dirty flashed?

Edit:

I get this when trying to run that script. Allowed root upon running app.

Edit2:

Terminal commands above worked for me to get camera properly working. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cjstock:
This build is running perfectly for me. I have absolutely no issues. I managed to get the 4.3 camera working too, so photosphere now works. Thank you so much slick_rick, keep up the good work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] falkon114:
Nice. Is there a 4.3 camera apk to flash? I think I have the 4.2 one, which is still cool coming from 4.1.

Wish my damn GPS issues worked, everything else is smooooooooooooth and fast!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cjstock:
I didn't use an apk, I flashed a zip. My GPS works perfectly for some reason.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ahjee:
Mind sharing that zip you have? The apk i have doesn't play nice and I'm not savvy enough to finagle it to work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cjstock:
http://www.mediafire.com/?ebbwccr0rbsinbd

Just flash this in recovery and fix permissions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ahjee:
Thanks my fellow XDA'er. Appreciated. I think I'm out of thanks for the day so thanks!

Edit: i still have thanks, so *click*..click BOOM

---------- Post added at 08:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:12 PM ----------

Says S4 camera...is that 4.3? I thought S4 was still 4.1 or 4.2... But **** i dunno
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cjstock:
It's from the Google Play Edition S4.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ahjee:
Ah got ya. Thanks again homie
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] benwalburn:
From the PA G+ page

Just tossing this out there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cjstock:
No problem
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dpadaddict:
Gapps

Can anyone share their pa_gapps-full-4.2-20130710-signed.zip file? The download site is horrible. This is my 3rd time trying after waiting for over 45min on a DL that stopped at around 75%.

Thanks guys!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] falkon114:
I was trying but for some reason i can't pull the zip off my phone... Either on my computer or directly uploading from my phone
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DroidWolf:
Just flashed PA 3.65 and I have a 16GB SDHC flash card. My phone is not reading the flash card now and is saying there is a blank or unsupported file system. I reformatted it as fat32 and also tried other flash cards and none have them worked. Is there any way to solve this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Fuse8499:
You're the man! Thank you! 3G at work all day was making me go insane.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] slick_rick:
New builds incoming! This will have the back to back calling and bad 4g bugs fixed. Any sound issues should also be squashed! I also re-posted the "How to get camera working" instructions in OP for everyone to see!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Fuse8499:
I downloaded this rom to try for a day. Then I was going back to Moon Rom.... That didn't happen. This is my new daily driver!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] slick_rick:
New build is up! Has the changes I listed above plus some PA updates to HALO, etc. Remember to do the camera fix noted in OP if its not working for you! Enjoy :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cjstock:
You should use the link I posted a few posts back of the GPE camera. I believe it would be helpful to post the link, with instructions to flash and fix permissions. The camera is the 4.3 version and has working photosphere.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] slick_rick:
Feel free to post the link. PA stance is 4.2 camera only for now. Y'all can flash if y'all like though no problem :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] falkon114:
Thanks for your work!

Is there a changelog for this most recent build?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Fuse8499:
He notes the changes 3 posts above yours. Some changes to Halo, 4G fix, etc
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] maverixz:
Thanks Slick. So far so good and everything is running smoothly with no issues of Sound and 4G like in the last build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] z4fir:
Two important Questions

Amazing! Have a few questions. Is there a way to remove the pointer when using the S-Pen? Because I draw a lot on SketchBook and it gets in the way. Also is there a bug with the camera app? Because mine does not work at all. Any help will be find.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] PapaJohnMc:
See the OP. It has directions on how to get the camera working.

Great ROM! It is my daily driver...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] CyD13:
I keep trying to download the pa_gapps-4.2.1-20130127.zip file from the website but it won't let me. It's a shame, I'd love to be able to try this rom!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
Nah man, i just tried it. Mine comes out of speaker phone.

Re: [AOSPA 4.2.1] PARANOIDANDROID 2.99 betaNINE.9+ [1/25/13]

???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
PaGapps

To be honest, Im unsure. But by looking at the pagapps package, it has it's own gmail specific for PA. I'd google for inverted mods for this rom. If compatible
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pd240:
Re: [AOSPA 4.2.1] PARANOIDANDROID 2.99 betaNINE.9+ [1/25/13]

Is there an option to hide the nav. bar? I know you can do it with expanded desk top but i still want the status bar to show up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
Hybrid properties, interface, and move the nav bar scale to 0%
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] slick_rick:
Re: [AOSPA 4.2.1] PARANOIDANDROID 2.99 betaNINE.9+ [1/25/13]

Its in the OP people... seems like only a few people even bother reading now and days.

Re: [AOSPA 4.2.1] PARANOIDANDROID 2.99 betaNINE.9+ [1/25/13]

This is really good to see as this is one of the phones I was looking at to get after I get my tax check back I use this ROM on all my devices right now and couldn't be happier with what pa has done for our devices this just sealed the deal on me getting the note 2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BlueHarford:
Re: [AOSPA 4.2.1] PARANOIDANDROID 2.99 betaNINE.9+ [1/25/13]

:( no photo sphere
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wbvczar:
How can I enable USB Debugging mode? It is normally under Developer options, but I don't have it in my settings. I can see the phone and card in File Explorer, but adb does not see the device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bailey1:
Re: [AOSPA 4.2.1] PARANOIDANDROID 2.99 betaNINE.9+ [1/25/13]

Go to about phone in settings, touch build number ten times to enable dev options. Thats the standard for 4.2 based roms.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bostonbassman78:
Re: [AOSPA 4.2.1] PARANOIDANDROID 2.99 betaNINE.9+ [1/25/13]

Not sure if its the same but go to settings about phone and hit build number 7 times it should pop up if its like the n7
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wbvczar:
Thank you. This is my first 4.2 ROM so I was not aware of that tidbit. Worked like a charm.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BlueHarford:
Re: [AOSPA 4.2.1] PARANOIDANDROID 2.99 betaNINE.9+ [1/25/13]

Anyone else getting a fc on contacts when opening phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
Negative. I haven't gotten any force closes on this rom actually.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BlueHarford:
Re: [AOSPA 4.2.1] PARANOIDANDROID 2.99 betaNINE.9+ [1/25/13]

It was ti backup restoring call log from touchwiz
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WishRyder:
I finally bit the bullet and was going to do a full permanent switch from Beans to PA. I worked through some System UI crashes (which happened after editing the nav bar), accepted the flaky GPS and camera, and was finally getting everything setup when I started getting weird rendering issues on some of my widgets. Namely, my Beautiful Widget clock (set to transparent background). Any time it updated, it caused rendering errors. I can deal with some things not working, but an ugly homescreen ain't one of them. Back to Beans for now. :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JetBlue:
Odd I have a 4x1 or 4x2 BW with a transparent background and my phone works fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WishRyder:
Maybe it has to do with the themes I'm using for BW? I'm using some "ICS Style" theme for clock and "Vos-Flat White" for weather. I might give it another go tonight to see if I can't figure something out. I REALLY want to use PA.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JetBlue:
I tried both and they work. Did you change the UI from Stock to Tablet or Phablet?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kraziekc:
Hi. Nice ROM.

Only issue I am having is when I first started the ROM I got 4g and since then (3hrs later) still on 3g at 3g speeds.

P.s. I am running your current 7/15 build

Any suggestion
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DroidWolf:
Have you tried changing the radio by going into the dialer then hitting *#*#4636#*#* and clicking phone options scroll down and click lte/CDMA auto
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kraziekc:
I actually couldn't remember that method I went through PMR and got the 4g to work. Now I have issues with GPS not locating.

Edit: I flashed a zip a few million posts ago and GPS seems resolved.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallingup:
Only issue i see is with speakerphone, doesnt seem to work. If i make a call then switch to speakerphone, i cannot hear anything. Even after turning off speakerphone
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WyoSi:
So I was having very fast battery drain since flashing the newest build (with Plasma kernel) so today at work I used the phone as much as I could and then let it die. Once it died I plugged it into my external battery and let it charge a little and then powered it on.

now I get stuck at the color changing fish on boot and can't get any further. I tried pulling the battery, booting it unplugged. Then tried letting it charge for about an hour so it's at probably 40% and powering it on without being plugged in. No change, still gets stuck on boot.

I looked and I'm not sure I fully understand how to pull a logcat of a boot, do I just execute it the same way I usually do? I'd like to paste the logcat so it can be looked into as I've not had this happen before.

TIA

--EDIT--

Ok, Looks like I just do it like normal (good to know). And looking at the log it appears that it fails during a WiFi activation ( Log ) and I did have WiFi on when it powered off. Is there anything I can do to recover from this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DJ1994:
Have you tried anything in recovery? Wiping cache Salvia cache or a permission fix? If not try those first.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WyoSi:
I did. No dice

Then reflashed 3.67 and gapps. Still no dice.

Took a full wipe, full reinstall and then it would boot again. I have a nandroid of the broken rom, but I doubt I'll ever need it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DJ1994:
Okay cause I got stuck at the boot animation as well and it just needed some wiping. Anyway glad you got it working.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] quahtrader:
I hate to ask this question again, as I see it has been asked a number of times - however, I'm unable to get anything to fix this.

Ringtone, notification tone, etc - speaker volume is too low.

I changed the settings in stweaker - and that seemed to increase the volume - until I rebooted. Now it seems to have no effect no matter what I do.

Using plasma kernel, PA 20130715

This volume issue is driving me crazy, as I have never been able to solve it once I started using custom ROM's.

I would appreciate any guidance! Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droid_freak:
Flashed yesterday, had 4g for about an hour and then all I could get was 3g. Tried all known ideas and could not get 4g back. Wiped and restored backup of Beans, No 4g, wiped and flashed clean install of Beans no 4g, Anyone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallingup:
could be your sim card. if you are not able to get any 4g thats probably what it is
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droid_freak:
Nope not the Sim Card.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] falkon114:
Mind throwing that zip up for me? My GPS doesn't work either. It's weird though, as soon as I turn it on and go to Maps, it shows pretty close to where I am, but then doesn't track where i'm moving. Just.. sits where I turned it on.

---------- Post added at 10:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 PM ----------

Did you try this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droid_freak:
I did. Finally got it working tried 3 different stock ROM files and the third one got me 4g. Have absolutely no idea what happened but its back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DJ1994:
Battery seems weird I was getting decent life nothing out of the ordinary but for some reason the percentage is dropping while plugged into a note 10 charger?? Not doing gaming or anything. Just messaging. Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WyoSi:
I prefer PIE controls at the top of the screen it acts more like the traditional notification panel and doesn't get activated by my keyboard like at the bottom

But when I use the top gravity I lose all the extra stuff (battery meter, network name, etc etc) is there any way to make it so I can see all of the text using to gravity?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] falkon114:
Hold power button until power menu comes up, do Full Screen Disabled for PIE
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WyoSi:
That doesn't solve the issue, but thank you

I want all of the stuff that is shown with bottom gravity to be displayed with top gravity.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jdec529:
Been running flawless last night and today. Now Dialer is fc, I can call from within people but not phone icon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] z4fir:
How can I remove the pointer when using the stylus? And I had to flash the alternative kernel because the camera wasn't working. And in doing this the volume has dropped while in a call by alot. And can you disabled halo? When ever I make a call the dialer open in a window.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kraziekc:
I'm switching back to stock rooted ROM. The GPS zip helped with the phone not locking... But when I needed the maps the other day really sluggish performance on this ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DJ1994:
GSiff_deamon occasionally pegs my phone at 100 percent load and requires a robot to fix. This is grouped in system processes. Thought this might be a good bug to squash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] slick_rick:
New build is up for download! Check the change log for details!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] z4fir:
Is there a way remove the pointer icon when using the stylus?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] slick_rick:
Yes under language & input settings!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AMSPOWER:
Has anyone tried the Neak Kernel with this ROM? I'm coming from illusion, just wondering if anyone was using neak or recommended the stock baked in and/or plasma. Thanks a lot!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cjstock:
Go with Plasma Kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Xirix12:
Anyone have a gapps 7-19 mirror? Goo.im is just taking so long to download.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] slick_rick:
Re-download new build in OP! Has the right ro.product.device needed for the PA OTA app to work :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BlueHarford:
What's the value for those that just installed and want to fix
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] slick_rick:
Change t0ltespr to l900
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BlueHarford:
I605has the same as the l900?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] slick_rick:
Oops. Didn't notice what thread I was in lol. So yea it would be t0ltevzw to i605.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] z4fir:
Has anyone been having 4G issues with this latest build? I have and am wondering if there is a fix.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Roland Deschain:
Thanks, this worked to bring my 4G back. For some reason, unlike previous builds, the LTE/CDMA option isn't in the normal Settings > Mobile Networks area. I'm guessing plenty of others will have to do this as well.
