Follow along with me.

1. Flashed from external card, clean wipe, cleared data & all caches. (coming from beans10)

2. Wouldnt boot

3. Back into twrp, cleared everything a 2nd time and reflashed = worked with no external sd card access (deal breaker for me)

4. Removed card, copied all data to my desktop, formatted FAT32 & moved data back to card

5. Flashed again along with clean wipe - doesnt make it past the Galaxy note II screen. Will stay like that for quite a while forcing me to pull battery

6. Tried the same thing again to no avail

7. restored beans10 backup so I could use my phone

If anyone has suggestions I'll give it another go!

Yes & im not rebooting into recovery, once the flash is finished I reboot using "boot system" sits at the note II screen for 5-10 minutes then dumps into recovery sometimes it doesnt even do that. It will just stay at the note II screen

I have another question. Trying to use DSP manager, and whenever an option is selected, the audio for whatever reason gets really loud! then i adjust volume and it goes back to normal volume. Plus audio out doesnt sound that great (at least with my headphones). Anyone else experience this? I haven't flash any other kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pool_shark:
I'm at a loss, sorry. The only time that happened to me is when I flashed a ROM that didn't have a kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] maverixz:
The troubleshooting step I see missing in your detailed steps is the crucial step of checking to make sure you have a good copy of the ROM by checking the MD5 checksum.

I had an issue for some odd reason flashing from my 64gd fat32 ext SD. Tried twice and wouldn't boot, had a matching md5. I tried moving a copy of the ROM to internal SD just for s's and g's and sure enough it worked. Not sure if this was an issue from twrp or what but might be worth a try.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gcounts:
I am having trouble with the dialer. When I choose the phone icon the screen goes blank. I still have the status bar. After 15 20 seconds it goes back to the home screen. I clean flashed and started fresh. I dont have any mods as this rom is absolutely perfect. I did use Carbon to restore my mms and call logs. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks for the rom nitro it is my favorite.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JBeXX:
What did you use to restore sms and logs? If you used titanium make sure you are saving/restoring with the xml backup (yellow) not the system SMS backup (green one). Restoring 4.2.2 system data to this 4.1.1 could be the issue if that is what happened
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gcounts:
Thanks for the reply. I used the Carbon app to restore mms and call logs.Also, I was on Eclipse 1.3 proir to 1.4. I haven't been on 4.2 at all as I really like TW and the built in features. I always used mms backup and call logs backup proir to using Carbon and never had an issue. With Carbon being the new part of the equation

I think I'll reflash and restore the way I used to. I've got to find a solution because I'm not leaving Eclipse! I only posted in case someone else has had the same issue as me. This is the only issue I've had on Eclipse everything else is running great.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JBeXX:
Aaaaah, my bad. I misunderstood and thought you meant you were coming g from Carbon ROM (which is 4.2). Didn't realize you meant the app. Sorry bout that lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Steedent:
Anyone else?

Hey awesome rom... I use this rom more than any other by far... But with this build... I cannot install the "xda" app... Says error code 24... Also my YouTube app won't sign me in... Just says app error... I've tried clearing the data... Also fixing permissions... But nothing... Any ideas? Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gcounts:
No problem. I didn't think about Carbon rom when I posted. Do you restore your mms and call logs? If so, what do you use?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
Neither problem here. Did someone dirty flash?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JBeXX:
I use titanium for my SMS/MMS. I usually don't restore my call logs. As previously mentioned though, make sure if you use titanium to backup/restore as xml

Thanks for your belp.

Does anyone know how to get the input method for the keyboard back in the status bar? I love having it up there and miss it

Doin' big thangs from my Note Deuce
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleevasteve:
Well my hunch was right, I switched to Beans stock kernel and was able to push via adb again with no problems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Steedent:
No I never dirty flash... The only thing I can think of is that I used the non inverted gapps... Could that be the issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
That would be my guess. Or if you restored with titanium you might have restored you tube and something you shouldn't have on accident
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bostonbassman78:
May have found a bug when I open gallery its locking up my phone I don't have to reboot or nothing hitting the power button seems to resolve the issue but its happening every time I open gallery and yes its a fresh install fully wiped
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
Try clearing gallery data. Mine works perfectly and is smooth.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bostonbassman78:
I will give that a try

Edit: no luck still making my phone pretty laggy and gallery very unstable
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Travisdroidx2:
My gallery is working fine. I used my the camera to record video of my sons track meet and was playing races back over. Camera and gallery working flawless here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tml478:
Finally someone else lol...im having the same intermittent issue. No restoring anything. 2 different downloads and 3 full wipes. Still staying with it though. A reboot fixes the issue

I reflashed and restored my mms and call logs the way I have always done prior to using the Carbon app...so far so good. I was fine the first day but today the trouble started. Got so bad I had to do a battery pull. Hope it works out this time I love this rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bostonbassman78:
Stupid question can I downkoad the rom to my external sd card and install the rom from it ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] techgov8:
Yea you can. I've always installed from the internal storage just because the phone doesn't have to pull from the sd card but it'll work just fine too

Doin' big thangs from my Note Deuce
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
Make sure you're on the newest TWRP. One of the older ones was having a problem installing from external.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bostonbassman78:
But it can be done correct doni need to format my sdcard or no sorry for the noob questions im only used to flashing roms on my gnex and n7
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] italbomber:
I install from my external card because I like to wipe internal as well as everything else. I never have had issues. Nothing like a good clean fresh install :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bostonbassman78:
Another stupid question how do I download it to the sd card without using a comp cause I dont have one of the sdcards to stick in the micro sd card into
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
I'm sure in whatever browser you're using in the settings menu you can select download location. Also what format is your sd card. I ask because you will have problems of its exfat after flashing I believe.

Not to question your intelligence, but you have unlocked using Adams method and currently have TWRP correct? I'm just double checking so we dont guide you into a soft brick.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bostonbassman78:
Ya im already running the rom I was just thinking it would be better to download future updates to my sd card rather than using up my internal memory and I have anither question can I take my backup from twrp and copy and paste it to my external sdcard using root explorer
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
Just wanted to be sure. Yes you can, just copy the entire TWRP folder to your external
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] slicknick27:
Yes I have had a couple of lockups with the dialer, dialing a number on the pad it would just freeze up and I would have to pull the battery. I do run I 240 dpi though so I can't say for sure if that has something to do with it, in my case anyway.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] revolt1:
does anyone have the saber kernel zip

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bostonbassman78:
How do I know if my sdcard is the right format I forget how to check that

Ok ive had something really weird happen to me for the first time on any rom. and im pretty sure i'll lose my texts as of today.

As i was attaching a picture to my text, my phone froze.. (this is like the 4th time it happened but a battery pull and reboot fixes it).. so i did that again, but this time, it gets stuck in a boot loop. I have wiped cache, dalvik many times before and after a reflash.. reflashed eclipse three times.. even went as far as trying a different kernel with it to no avail. Any help?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] slicknick27:
I've had some more issues with the dialer freezing and having to battery pull to restart. The last time I did this the phone hung at the boot animation, even after clearing cache/dalvik and fixing permissions. I clean installed this with the latest version of TWRP (as of March 6) and have MD5 check enabled.

So for now I'm restoring my 1.3 backup until I have more time to figure these issues out. However I can't wait to go back to 1.4 lots of really great new features.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
Of course the only rom i could genuinely be on for months without flashing anything else, i cant get it to not freeze up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleevasteve:
You might try a different kernel, or even clean flash and don't restore your call logs and messages. Also make sure you aren't using AOSP lockscreen with the ripple effect enabled. Just bouncing some ideas.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
Man im starting to think this rom doesn't like my phone. Wiped everything twice using TWRP. the latest one. and it boots up into the wizard.. and it freezes on the "Just A Sec" screen right before it asks for your google account && then goes black with only the hardware keys lighted ;/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tml478:
1.3 ran perfect. I. Think most of the issue comes from the actual aosp dialer and contacts being used instead of tw. Either way this think is beast I just hope the little kinks can be worked out. Thanks for this rom nitro
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
The AOSP dialer/contacts was one of my favorite new features too. I was excited to get it on touchwiz
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rootdude:
I seem to be the only one having issues?

Hey guys -

I'm not new to all of this.

I've been running 1.3 since I got my Note a month or so ago and was excited to see the release a few days back.

I've downloaded three times. I've triple wiped each flash. I've tried installing from internal and external stores. I've got a 64gb class 10 SanDisk formatted FAT32 I've tried to install from.

Results have ranged from a partial boot and freeze at lockscreen to bootloops ending up in recovery (TWRP latest version).

I'm hoping someone has had a similar experience and can offer their solution to a buttery install of 1.4 with me so I can enjoy too.

Peace,

Rootdude
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleevasteve:
Bummer man. I'm still back on the older TWRP, 2.4 I think. It flashed fine for me. I only had issues when I tried dirty flashing. I think part of the issue was me already being on Nova as a user app, then Nova also being installed as a system app. Maybe try skipping the wizard and just do it manually once you're in.

Sorry, I missed your mention of trying a kernel already. I've had issues with gallery quite a bit in the past so now I just use quickpic.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
Yeah ima take a look into these things you mentioned. I think TWRP has some play in this too. I may go back a version, seems like the most recent has a few bugs to be worked out. I also think maybe saber kernel plays a part. I've had issues in the past with it.

I plan on staying with Eclipse regardless. Thanks bro for everything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JBeXX:
I posted about it a few pages back but did you happen to install from ext SD? I had exactly what you're describing happen until I put a copy of 1.4 on my internal and installed from there. Not sure if that was a coincidence or not but after 3 attempts from the ext SD, it worked on first try from internal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
Sounds like a TWRP issue then? Maybe? But i wish i thought about that while I was boot looping. Probably woulda booted fine but i already clean flashed and plan on doing some kernel/twrp/gallery changes before i set everything back up. I will definitely keep your tip in mind for next time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JBeXX:
Yeah, I'm guessing it's twrp. I used identical copies on ext and int with matching md5s. Hope you it get it going. This ROM is too perfect not to be running ;)

Does anybody know of a method to remove the notification toggles entirely?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
Just uncheck then all
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zues532:
Unfortunately the vertical space that would normally be taken up by the toggles is still empty. So now there's a 1" gap between the date/time at the top and the brightness slider (even after a reboot).

I figured there would be a flashable .zip or something, but I haven't been able to find one.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] luv2ride:
So this morning I grabbed an old 2gb card I have and installed from that. Worked perfectly. Very strange.

I have another question however. Am I able to restore my apps & data from my titanium backup without issue or do I need to go at this a different way?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pool_shark:
I always restore my user apps and data using titanium.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] luv2ride:
Alright, just wanted to make sure it doesn't break anything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JBeXX:
Yes, user apps are usually OK, NEVER system data though. I've never personally had issues restoring user data but it is a grey area for some so if you ever do run into an issue, that could be the culprit. Fortunately it seems more and more app devs are adding backup to sd setting which helps shrink the amount of titanium restores.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dmbfan13:
Any way to remove the brightness slider?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleevasteve:
Not that I know of. Tweaked ROM has the option. I'd like to know how to do it also.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] highwaybandit:
I had similar experiences I yanked battery rebooted and rebooted until it finally booted with random freezing while setting up but a few hours later it settled and has been smooth as hell with excellent battery life ever since. Good luck
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleevasteve:
I had a few lock ups myself today on messaging(not restored), gmail(stopped syncing then when I tried to sync it locked up), and phone/contacts(wouldn't search by dialer or show anything under contacts). All resulted in a lock up followed by a reboot. I'm wondering if it's got something to do with the new framework changes.

Anyone got the stock kernel for this rom??? Not so good on battery 1.4.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 1ManWolfePack:
Go to imnutz' kernel thread. He posted both stock kernels.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dmbfan13:
Anyone using a different kernel with this ROM getting better battery results?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 1ManWolfePack:
I used imnutz' kernel on 1.3 and had great battery. Then I flashed this and I'm loving sabre.

Yeah same here. Never used saber but has been awesome on 1.4 so far.

Been playing with this all day. Love the look, been stable, still tweaking a bit. Can one remove the time & day from the upper right hand corner on the notification bar
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
In the op he said the options are under date and time in settings. It can be centered, right or removed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] luv2ride:
When I checked it, it was set to off, thought it was for something else. After toggling to center, then back off its gone now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
Ever since changing the kernel and going back to a previous release of TWRP, I've had no more freezes or needed battery pulls since. Running flawlessly now!

Day 3 Observation on the ROM. So far runs smooth aside from the fact that sometimes the screen goes black and wouldn't come back on for sometime. When I try to make calls, the screen stays black and I can't see the dial screen for a while. A few times I had to reboot and once today I had to remove the battery. Installation was fresh with all wipes done and ROM download was checked.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rootdude:
So for those of us not able to flash this...

Is the consensus that there are two issues?

The kernel should be changed

Downgrading TWRP to 2.4.2 or earlier to flash

I've downloaded an older version of TWRP and tried to flash it, but the newest one still lives there for some reason. How did you all go about flashing the older one?

Which kernel(s) and versions are being used successfully? I've seen a note or two about Perseus and Stock kernels... what is recommended? Which version/revision?

I'm among the few folks who have been entirely unable to get 1.4 running and it's killing me :)

Thanks,

RootDude
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleevasteve:
I even tried stock kernel and still had issues. My guess is it's from the framework changes, but I'm not sure. I went back to 1.3 for the time being.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rootdude:
That's what I had to do as well. I'm still running 1.3 but would like to make the jump if someone can give me the steps they used to downgrade to TWRP 2.4.2.0 and the info on the proper kernel they are using in their working install.

Few Issues

I've been running on this rom for a week or so. Here are my take away's (not that its worth anything) read on if you dare

1. Random black screens requiring a battery pull happen to me about every other day

2. Bluetooth pairing with some devices doesnt work (my 2010 dodge truck wont pair but all my jawbone devices will) This seems to be an issue when a passcode is required to finish pairing

3. Clock was still showing in the upper right hand corner although it was set to "off" in settings. Toggling on/off cleared up the issue

4. When enabling emoji I'm unable to locate the key.

Other than that this thing has been pretty damn stable. Its my daily driver and isnt going anywhere.

Cheers
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tml478:
+1 on the random black screens. Still keeping it though... Love this rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JBeXX:
1. Are you using aosp lock screen? If so, do you have ripple effect disabled?

2.I'm paired to 3 devices with no issues. One of which is an in dash sony requiring pass code. Maybe try impairing, repairing?

3. I think if you uncheck, then recheck the option it will stick.

4. Can't help sorry, don't use emoji and I use kii keyboard.

5. I'm hungry, here is an attempted tapatalk emoji to express this feeling :eek:
