Just curious if you know what causes the delay on an incoming call when you answer, I know someone mentioned it is a 4.3 issue ??

and FTR still get the off reboot and APK forceclose., no biggie, just reporting back, cheers

Just as a note I wash using Apex Launcher and Just switched to TW to see if Apex is the cause of the reboots which I recall happening before so I will test for a few days and see

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DavidEQ:
The WiFi issue was related to a poorly made Tasker setup. I need it to wait a couple minutes after leaving my home cell before turning WiFi off. Now to figure out how to do that. I am going to try another Launcher too. As above I am using Apex and see if that helps.

So it is a problem to just uninstall Apex using Titanium?

Also, have you guys checked out Atom Launcher? I just found it a few days ago and the rolling/ scroll folder effect is pretty cool.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DJB628:
Not sure yet, still testing to see, but I recall getting reboots from Apex before, so I figured it was worth a shot to test and see. Once I have tested for a few days I will report back, if it also happens with Nova, then I will try TW and see if it does the same. I think Apex has had a memory issue which causes the reboots. Possible verdict is still out.

I removed Apex with ROM toolbox and all is good..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chuck_IV:
So I went back to this rom after reinstalling Lorjay's rom to check the voicemail issue(voicemail works on Lorjays). Using the default voicemail and voicemail app, I am not receiving voicemail notifications(not even a notice on the status bar). I am also unable to get the Voicemail app to verify my account information or even check for updates.

Can anyone actually get the stock voicemail to notify them of a voicemail(via a status bar notification or even the VM app) and also get the VM app to properly verify their account on version 1.1 of this ROM or am I the only one having this issue? I see no other mention of it, so I'm thinking this is specific to me(why I dunno cause VM works fine on Lorjays).

**EDIT**

So I installed the bloatware zip in Philz recovery(installed the entire zip) just to see and now VM works 100%. There is something in the Bloat package that needs to be installed for VM to work properly.

If anyone knows what it is, I'd like to know as I don't want all the bloat but I want VM to work.

**EDIT 2**

It turns out to be the same SprintAndroidExtension.apk that Sleshepic mentioned that was needed form Profile/PRL updates. I fresh installed and once I added that(the .apk and .odex files) to the system/apps and set permissions and rebooted, voicemail started working.

Nice find, and sorry again for the derp guys :) if i get a min later after work I'll post a small update zip to correct it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DJB628:
OK, update, no reboots and no delays on incoming calls, so looks like the culprit was Apex Launcher, been using Nova for 2 days and no issues :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobmd:
If nothing else, I have had a good time looking at new launchers.

I've looked at Go Launcher, Atom Launcher and just got TSF Shell Launcher on sale.

It's good to see what's on the other side every once in awhile.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chuck_IV:
There's some nice launchers out there but I keep coming back to Nova, not only for it's feel, but also because it works with the Missedit! app.

I like my notification bubbles and always miss that from the stock Samsung launcher. Nova with MissedIt! makes it so it's very similar in popping up bubble notifications like the stock Samsung launcher on a variety of programs.

I'd like to see more of the launchers take notifications more seriously and try a little harder to duplicate what the stock launchers do. Many work with the basic calls/SMS/Gmail, but very few also work with the stock email program and even less with the stock voicemail program(only Nova with MissedIt! works as far as I know).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleshepic:
I've never seen Apex causing such issues, glad it's cleared up though.

And actually if anyone likes Apex(and doesn't have said issues) they have an add on notifier app and premium version that's makes it a great launcher. So you get all the little notification bubbles back etc
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DJB628:
What made me think of it was when I had my EVO 3D I had issues with reboots and was caused ny the Apex launcher and it was a memory issue, so I figured it was worth a shot. As of now like I mentioned no reboots and incoming calls don't delay, and the launcher is the only thing I changed, so I am sticking with my Apex theory, LOL ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chuck_IV:
I have Apex pro too, but the only thing I've seen that supports the stock Voicemail app is MissedIt!. Apex and even Nova's own notification piece only support Google Voice(which I am having issues using currently, thus why I have to use the stock voicemail app).

On the issue side, I've never had issues with Apex either, other than some occasional interface lag.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Arjohns:
Coming from Synergy 4.3 R3 and notice some definite differences. Like this actually has the ability to update prl/profile from settings. Those definitely weren't in the settings menu for Synergy. To early to tell on battery and everything as this has been running just a few hours for me, but definitely running smooth as butter so far. Great work Slesh. Between this and your Slim builds, my note 2 loves you lmao.

Been running this ROM for about a week now. Love it for the most part. The only problem I've had is either reboots or lock ups where the screen doesn't come back on from sleep. This happens at least once a day. I've had it happen up to 3 times before. Anyone else seeing this on their phone?

Wallet and NFC has stopped working issues

So I'm having trouble getting the Wallet Fix to work. I'll try to list anything and everything that I think is relevant.

I'm running MK4 1.1. As soon as I flashed the Wallet fix, I get constant popups for "NFC has stopped working". They are so frequent that I can't even push the occasional menu or button once or twice a minute of constant tapping.

I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but I came from a device running stock and official 4.3 software. It was a replacement phone I got from Best Buy when I broke my last phones screen. A friend works there and knew I didn't want the 4.3 update, so they didn't do it before I got it. The refurb date was only 2 days before I received it so it was probably just their first ones they received running 4.3. I used the Kingo root method to install 4.1.2 to upgrade to lorjay's rooted 4.3. I was originally running synergy r3, but liked that venom 1.1 didn't have all the bloat that I didn't use. I tried going back to lorjay's 4.3 after the NFC has stopped working popped up on the second attempt. Then I tried all three methods below once I ran venom 1.1 after lorjay's 4.3. Also, originally it was running TWRP, and I saw possible issues with it in this thread, so I tried Phils recovery, but again for the final 3 attempts, I ran stock CWM 6.0.4.3.

First I tried flashing the file listed under #1. Constant FC for NFC.

Then I tried methods listed in #2 for posts 17 & 19. I flashed the file in #17 in CWM. Somewhere I saw to do only post 19. In both instances, I made sure the /lib files were set to RW-R-R for the permissions. Same for the apks. It seems that when I copy the files over with Solid Explorer with root permissions and do the APK files first, it immediately starts the NFC problems as soon as it's finished. But if I do the lib files first, then the APK, it'll have them once I reboot.

In between each wallet attempt, I wiped the entire internal SD and had the ROM running fully. I ran MD5 checks on the files for the ROMs and they matched.

#3 also results in the frequent crashes.

#4 is the same problem as me

#5 looks like the same problem I'm having but with the S3

#6 is what happened when I ran I think method #1 and #3, and as soon as it goes away is when I get the NFC FC.

I followed the instructions in the 2nd post of the venom thread and wiped the system, data, and caches for each try. I hope I'm not forgetting something in all that I tried, but it's possible and if clarification is needed I will reply with it. I tried looking at every post on here dealing with "NFC has stopped" and wallet for the note 2/3 and S3/4 just hoping that something worked. I never used wallet when I was on the stock/official 4.3 release, but I doubt it'd be the secure element doing it.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DJB628:
Which launcher are you using ??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleshepic:
Yeah I would say that isn't normal, and would be unacceptable (in my book :) )

Perhaps try, as been suggested, a different launcher, or a reflash.

Shouldn't be any reboots or lockups unless somethings up

If y'all prefer, which it sounds like you would, I'll keep Apex Launcher in /data/app next time for easier removal? I figure it's easy enough with a root explorer, either way
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] gjhdvm:
I had several soft reboots everyday and once or twice daily a lock up requiring a battery pull. I uninstalled Apex launcher and have neither of these events in a day and a half now. Additionally my battery life has drastically improved for some reason. I was using the TW launcher and never used Apex. I only have irritating adds pop up every now & then that I suspect have something to do with VVM. Otherwise all is great! Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Arjohns:
So I've just got to ask... Why is there such a difference in the settings menu for this ROM vs say Synergy and Smoothest 2/3 ROM? Not complaining about it by any means, just curious is all.

Edit: Like those two ROMs cant update prl and profile from settings. I know they have Note 3 features, but they are still MK4 ROMs
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobmd:
Other than changing launchers, I also didn't erase everything... The option to clear Dalvik Cache was in the advanced menu of Philz which I missed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chaz187:
Thats the difference in those versus this rom as the note 3 features add the new type settings.....

I've done a full clean wipe (format of data) in Twrp and so far this 1.1 odexed ROM and battery life have been incredible. I have zero reboots or FCs in 4 days.

I also use the Holo launcher and removed the Apex Launcher. Holo has the lowest use of memory and also has an add-on for notifications for missed Gmail, k-9 email, phone and messaging. And finally Holo is fully compatible with all themes/icon packs.

Thanks for the hard work, Slesh.
