Re: [ROM][JB] [4.1.2] Avatar ROM for Samsung Galaxy Note(quincytmo)

It's because the rom makers don't bother to change the model number since the t879 is exactly the same as the I717.. You can change it though by editing the build.prop
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] rekamyenom:
Didn't know that! Thanks... Now I just gotta figure out how to edit the Build.Prop Will give me something to look for :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] CB620:
RomToolBox Pro or RootExplorer

Editing the Model # doesn't really make a difference.

Pesky Assert 7 error

I keep getting the same assert error 7 issue with this and every JB rom I've attempted to flash. I'm using CWM Touch flashed through ODIN.along with the root enabled system rom from the goodies thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1837907 Invariably, I can not seem to get around this issue. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I finally got this to work. I used TWRP2 for the SGH=879 flashed from CWM. I was then able to flash this rom and gapps. This is a great rom so far.

This ROM is super smooth... I was using margarine before with cm10. Now im in buttery heaven.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] rekamyenom:
FYI Issue: I added Gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip manually. When I go to Avatar Updates in the phone and check for updates, it's telling me that there is an update for the same Gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip. It downloads it, but when I try to install it/apply the update it fails.

Any Help?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] v3rsatile23:
Re: [ROM][JB] [4.1.2] Avatar ROM for Samsung Galaxy Note(quincytmo)

You already have the gapps downloaded... That update is not relevant.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] rekamyenom:
I understand that it is not relevant..... So why is it thinking I need the update if I already have it? :confused:

Here is what is Happening. I tried to let it install on its own, and it will not, so I installed manually:

I get the following error:

Verifying filesystems

verifying partition sizes

Running boot script

Finished running boot script

finding update package

E: Can't open /sdcard/cmupdater/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip

Just leave it alone? :confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] rekamyenom:
Does this ROM allow 5 Wide on the APPS on the home screen(s). I could not find it if it is there. Also Is there a way we can create our own theme?

Awesome ROM So far, good battery life as well. Have it on 4 T879's and running Smooth as Butter (v3rsatile23) on all 4 so far! No complaints here. A few tweaks I'd like to see but that is probably just preference.

KUDOS !!! Major Props to this one!

Yeah just leave it alone... Its not a big deal.

---------- Post added at 07:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:58 PM ----------

Not sure what you mean by five wide if your talking about on the dock then no because the is launcher dependent. You can always download another launcher from the play store. My favorite is nova launcher... As far as creating themes. No he said in another thread that there will be 50+ themes available Friday. I'm just sticking with the system theme.

:good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] bippi79:
The Avatar Team is proud to present the first beta release of weebo app. It is a Tasker like application which can automate tasks for your phone.

The application comes with pre-defined set of 20 common rules but you can add your own rules in sdcard (/mnt/sdcard/weebo) and it will be automatically picked up by the application. To activate a rule, click on the corresponding rule (rule will get highlighted)

The rules are simple XML files and you can find more info here.

Download link - Here (Push the apk as system app)

Example:

<rules>

<rule name=”Office enter settings” desc=”When you enter office, Switch on my WiFi”>

<conditions>

<wifi state=”off”/>

<location state=”enter” name=”work” />

</conditions>

<actions>

<wifi state=”on”/>

</actions>

</rule>

There is lot of work going on to make the app better and your feedback will help us a lot.

Question:

Why is it when I check for OTA updates it tells me there are updates, but they are the ones I have already installed on my phone? Both the Avatar and gapps updates. is this a glitch?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] bippi79:
We have updated new Gapps package. It could be because of that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] rekamyenom:

Change log for 2.6b Release (Apr 6, 2013)

Fixed launcher menu settings in app space

New ThemeChooser - Bug fixes, Performace improvements and new features like download count, caching etc

Performance improvements in theming engine

Instructions for OTA download:

Sit back and wait for few minutes as phone will automatically go into recovery and install the ROM.

ROM Images are hosted on Amazon S3 and hence download speed should be fast and hassle free.

Need Help instal ling Avatar

Hi there. I got a Galaxy Note (T-Mobile) that is already rooted and has the Jedi Rom installed. I have rooted and installed roms before following detailed instructions since I'm a bit on the newbie side.

Anyways so I really want to install this Avatar Rom. I followed all the direction. However, when I am in the recovery screen and I select the Rom to install, I get a "Installation Aborted" line. I tried it several times but I kept getting the same results.

Please Help! :(

Could the existing Jedi Rom be the reason for the inability to install Avatar? What could be the reason?

Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] rekamyenom:
What are you using to install the ROM CWM? TWRP? Which Version?

And Your T-Mobile note is the SGH-T879 correct?

I follow this religiously

TWRP RECOVERY RECOMMENDED

ALWAYS FULL WIPE!

-Download ROM

-Wipe data ( factory data reset)

-Wipe system (Format system (in mounts/storage) if on CWM)

-Flash ROM

-Wipe cache/Dalvik

-Fix Permissions

-Boot system and DO NOT TOUCH FOR 10 MIN

-After the 10 min, reboot
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] Flaquito69:
Good ROM! But, on this update (2.6b) some apps close themself on use. On my case, Facebook, Contact+, Some games, etc.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] buttterfly:
I downloaded CWM on the Play Store and used it to reboot to recovery. I am assuming it is the latest version.

I downloaded the appropriate files in the Avatar thread and followed the directions as indicated:

"Instructions:

If it's the first time flashing avatarrom or coming from another ROM

Install ClockworkMod Recovery.

Do a NANDroid backup of your current ROM from backup/restore menu.

Wipe Data/Factory Reset & Wipe cache partition

Flash the downloaded .zip file."

Install Gapps package. If you get Google search crash update Google search from play store

My bad, I am using the newest 040413 rom. It is 2.6b. A weird thing is I have two theme changer icons. one is really limited and the other one is what I took a screen shot of. I think the original theme chooser had an option to add a theme store and I clicked it, I can't remember.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] rekamyenom:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] fraughtsigewulf:
I don't know. It was in a folder called APKs in the .avatar folders.

I would rename it to apk and try it.

If that doesn't work, use root explorer. and put the original unnamed file in the same folder I copied it from. Systems/storage/sdcard0/.avatarRom/apks. Then I would go to theme chooser and see if it appears.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] rekamyenom:
Tried a few different ways... Still no go. Oh well. I give up for now. I appreciate your efforts! Guess I wait for the next release, maybe they will have some of the bugs out. I have a few issues but nothing crazy. Great ROM.

I can connect, android logo comes up, touch button to connect as mass media device or whatever it says, No problem, when I am done moving files or whatever and I try to touch the button to disconnect, locks up.
