Looking through the rom control options/nav bar options I cannot figure out how to disable the softkeys. I'm sure i'm just missing it. Can someone lend a hand? Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Whafrodamus:
Hybrid controls, interface, you have to bring nav bar down to 0%

I just tested it out again and it seems like the speed has increased quite a bit, it is Noe maxing out my connection which is a first. maybe they finally got everything set up.

Coming from a TW ROM, I had trouble with connecting to wifi on this ROM. I saw a few solutions that had to do with flashing back to TW and doing some stuff and then flashing back to RootBox. Is this the only fix?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dlsolo:
Problems connecting to wifi? I've not had any problems connecting to wifi. Can you provide some more details? As in, is your wifi connecting but no data is going through it? Here to help where I can.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
I have never had any issues whatsoever connecting to WiFi and the only people I have seen that had any issue had flashed a separate kernel and the Dev had forgotten to add the WiFi modules to the kernel.

If I were you I would change the kernel out if you still experience issues. If you are just having problems with your phone dropping the WiFi signal try boosting the routers signal, look on router for a IP address and then type that in in your computer browser and edit the settings one of which should be the signal strength.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bustanut:
Well I can't even connect to Wifi in the first place. It would save the password I put in, but it wouldn't connect me to the wifi channel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hecantbreathe:
Edit

Never mind haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
Did you try different kernels? And are you sure you got the password correct? If I mistype mine and don't correct it that's what happens.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dlsolo:
Well, I've been playing around all morning with different WIFI setups (I have 5 different wifi networks within my home). I was not able to replicate your issue.

I'm currently using a self built RootBox nightly, running Plasma Kernel (stated this just as a reference).

As suggested, verify your wifi setup and password. Also, you could try flashing a different kernel.

Is this a 2.4GHz or 5.0GHz wifi network that you are trying to connect to? Also, what type of network security is assigned to that wifi net? WPA, WPA2, WPA2-PSK, WEP?

Keep us posted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bustanut:
Thanks for helping me out. I re-installed the ROM, and Wifi is working now. I think I might've entered in the password incorrectly the first time...although I've never done that before.

So far, the ROM is working well. GPS was an instant lock for me.

Can't you adjust the button glow? I know you can change the color of the glow under ROM Control/Navigation Bar. I feel like there was a way to change the glow but it may have been on a different ROM.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JustusIV:
I see the same thing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
Is anyone else having issues when using the phone? If I hang up and try to call that number again it automatically hangs up before it can even ring.

Also I've been talking about life volume even with Plasma and I noticed that in the Logcat it shows that the speaker volume is only at 1 even though I've set everything up and maxed everything out.

And here is a link to my logcat since it's too big to upload to XDA:

http://db.tt/zcWaILng
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dlsolo:
So, for the calling "issues", it's not so much of an issue. When you hang up a call, it takes a moment for the network to reset you call. When you double tap the same number, within 1-2 seconds of hanging up, your not allowing the phone/network to reset and allow another call to take place.

Wait 5-10 seconds before attempting to call, once you've hung up from an existing call.

I'll have to look to see if I'm getting the same thing in my logcat. I've been too busy trying to get 7-01 nightly to work. It flashes but I get acore error message.

BREAK BREAK

Slick_Rick or Bajee, is the telephony being worked on right now? having acore force closes periodically and the phone.apk force closes every time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
Well mine doesn't reset after a few seconds, it usually takes at least 5 minutes or a reboot, now if I call a different number everything is gravy. I was fine on the last few nightlies but now it just seems to nit be working after the 5-10 second wait. And yes it was a clean flash.

Any idea about the low volume on speaker and headset in calls?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dlsolo:
Okay, I gotcha. I just played around with that whole calling thing and I was able to make 4 rapid calls to my home phone, before i got the call ended effect. Now, that's me screwing around and making it have this effect. I can't, for the life of me, fathom a situation that would require me to dial like that.

BUT, after 3 minutes and 19 seconds, after getting the call ended, I was able to call my house phone again. I'm still not sure I'd call this an "issue".

Okay, now on to the low volume thing. I can't say I have the same problem. As I'm using Plasma kernel, utilizing the Voodoo volume enhancements, my volume is everything i want....and more. Not sure if I could ever NOT have Voodoo volume enhancements (I'm so use to having it). I like my volume loud and my bass deep.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
Well Plasma with Voodoo produced no sound, you had to change it to Wolfson on 6-28. At least I did and a few other people here and on CM. I'll try seeing it I can get Voodoo to boost the sound in call. Its weird that I can boost everything except in call volumes, if I go back to 6-21 everything is fine with boosting speaker volumes across the board but now if I want higher in call volumes I'm pretty much screwed.

The not making calls back to back is an issue for me, say you misdial on a automated line and there is no way to go back to the previous menu, like with my bank, you have to hang up and call again, except you can't for 5 minutes.

There is also a restaurant that I call orders in to occasionally and they don't have call waiting so if you get the busy tone you have to continue to call back.

Edit:

Just tested and Voodoo is still not working.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dlsolo:
I'm tellin' yeah, Voodoo works. How I got it to work is, from a clean wipe, install the latest nightly and gapps, and reboot. Set your device up (settings and restoring any apps). Once done setting up, confirm that you have working sound, the reboot into recovery and flash Plasma kernel. Wipe cache and dalvik and reboot. Once your device has rebooted, let it sit for a minute or so, then test out your sound via settings/sound/volume or playing your favorite mp3. That's exactly what I do, each and every time I clean flash a new nightly. I never flash rom, gapps, and kernel, all at the same time. I wait on the kernel until I've got my device setup.

I gotcha about the rapid dialing/calling. Makes sense.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
Well the thing with my clean flashes, and a lot of other people also have this issue, is there is no sound coming out until we flash Plasma. Then once Plasma is flashed we have to activate Wolfson and deactivate Voodoo. I'll give it a try in a bit again and see if it will work.

Even so there still shouldn't be any reason why the speaker won't boost in calls when it does everywhere else on Wolfson when there were no issues with Wolfson working before. It makes me winner if there was something added to the CM base that is blocking those boosts, it's either that or I am a complete dip**** and am missing something that is right in front of my face.

And the rapid calling isn't a huge issue all the time, its just when you really need it that it gets really annoying.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dlsolo:

I'm going to start this off by saying that in all likely hood I'm just an idiot...

That being said for the life of me I cannot figure out how to get a wired headset with mic to work on voice calls. I listen to my phone w music/pocasts throughout the day. I also can take calls on it as long as I'm getting my work done which means I need to be able to use the headset to take and receive calls. For some reason when using this rom I cant use the mic on the headset. I can hear the other person but they cannot hear me... Is this a known bug, is there a setting somewhere that I'm missing? Any help/pointers would be greatly appreciated.

I played around with my YouTube app and audio/video work fine. Not sure a video is required to depict working audio, as my link above proves audio is working (via Slacker Radio).

---------- Post added at 08:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:19 AM ----------

Battery life is fine. I've never experienced TW on this device, so I can't compare. With basic day-to-day utilization, I'm down to 80-85% after 16 hours of use. Not sure if that will represent a true scenerio to compare, being that I don't use my phone 10 hours of that time (sits in my car at work).

Is there anything specific you need to know?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] iflip:
I'm having force close issues with voice search on Google now, market and they keyboard when I press the talk button. Any suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mmuzzy:
Make sure all your apps are up to date in Play especially Google search, clear cache, etc
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
OK what I found out last night while tinkering around on VRB 6-28 nightly, i clean flashed it again and started all over, is that there is a new addition to Settings/Device Options called Audio that I somehow completely missed. Under Audio it has In-Call volumes set at 50%. You can jack it up to 100% but it will actually sound lower than before, you have to set it at 90% instead. Once that's done you can tweak with STweaks and jack the volume up nice and loud.

Also I don't completely lose volume immediately after selecting and applying Voodoo in STweaks anymore but none of the boosting options do anything and when I reboot volume is gone until I change back to Wolfson.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] neckbonest:
under rom control there is an option called ribbons. can someone tell me what that is please
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dlsolo:
In a nutshell, it allows you to display app icons in a banner (or ribbon) on your lockscreen, notification menu, etc...

Experimenting with the options of your ROM is the best way to figure what does what. Makes it more fun when you find a new option, that wasn't in there before, that makes your ROM experience better...

I'm a sucker for exploring, rather asking. ~my two cents~
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] iflip:
What's your secret? I'm at 75% after only 5 hours of idle time no usage. Smh
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dlsolo:
I'm not sure it's a secret. I don't have a lot of background apps running. Weatherbug, Hangout, Gmail, and Pulse reader, are the only things I have running. Plus, I underclock my Note2 to 1200MHz. I feel that AOSP doesn't require overclocking due to the UI being much "lighter" than TouchWiz.

Background apps (and sometimes leaving Wifi and GPS enabled) will drain your battery. I use BetterBattery Stats often to look at wakes and alarms.

Hope this helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ballisticn8:
Can anyone confirm whether a wired headset works on phone calls? Would rather not have to backup, wipe, flash etc. If someone that has the rom currently running could try it out and let me know I'd greatly appreciate it.

I have a weird issue, and was wondering if anyone else had the same problem. When I use the volume buttons on my home screen, it changes the app volume instead of ring volume
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] iflip:
I'd this a normal battery temp? My device feels noticeably warmer than usual coming from tw Roms.

And how are you underclocking in root box? I've looked all over for it in the settings menu. Can't find it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dlsolo:
Sorry for getting back to you so late. I think I found the issue with any nightlies after 6-28, that are having acore force closes. Won't know if I fixed until tomorrow evening. It definitely looks promising, my fix that is...

As for battery temps, my battery is sitting at 32.4 degrees celsius. The battery temp could be considered "fine" if you are using your device or it's located in a warm place (i.e. pocket, vehicle, backpack, etc..). But it you are in a cool place, and the phone is sitting on a cool surface and it's hot to the touch, something is not letting your device idle. That's where Better Battery Stats come into play. You can see what apps, in the background (or foreground) are causing your device to not idle or deep sleep. That will lead directly towards why your battery life show a significant decline with minimal use.

Oh yeah, for down clocking your device, since I'm running Plasma kernel (I say this just as a reference), using STweak, I'm decreasing the max CPU clock from 1600MHz to 1200MHz.

I hope that answers your questions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
I've always found WiFi will actually make my phones battery last longer, I have OK LTE coverage and excellent 3G coverage but LTE always drains it a heck of a lot faster even if i have excellent coverage whereas WiFi doesn't. GPS on the other hand will suck it dry in no time.

---------- Post added at 09:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 PM ----------

I look forward to the fix!!!! Thank you for all your work!!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] iflip:
Thanks. I'm interested in underclocking. Is the stweak app you're using developed by gokanmoral?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dlsolo:
Good morning. Yes, the developer of that app is gokanmoral. You will be required to install Plasma kernel in order to utilize that app.

Hope that helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] iflip:
Thank you. I've noticed a slight decrease in the warmth of the device. I underclocked and slightly undervolted. I also found an app called cpu sleeper quad core since I found that my device doesn't sleep well. I couldn't quite understand better battery stats though so I can't figure out what was going on in the background. So I limited my background processes to "1 at the most" it's a temporary fix until I figure out what I can do differently.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dlsolo:
That's great! Glad you're making progress. Those background apps, sometimes, don't act accordingly. I had a problem, in the past, with Google+ not calming down and allowing my device to deep sleep. It ended up being that, when I restored my apps, the restored data with those apps (specifically Google+) was causing corruption. Once I cleared the data and restarted the app, it was fine and my device was able to deep sleep at idle.

The more you investigating you do, referencing you apps running, you will find out how to gain back a little bit of battery life, here and there.

Keep us posted.

BREAK BREAK

Once I get home tonight, I'm gonna try and build a 7-03, with the Contact Provider fix.

More to follow.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] iflip:
I've noticed an issue. Not sure if it was addressed earlier but data doesn't work while a call is in progress. If I'm on speaker phone and press the home button to go back to the home screen, I'm not able to access the market, load web pages or anything. No connection while call in progress. Sorry if this was addressed before bit I have low coverage (on Verizon Lol) where I live so I'm not able to brows through hundreds of pages.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hejay:
I can confirm that the 20130703 build still has acore force closes. Also, the battery indicator keeps resetting to stock on every reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
Well data has never worked for me while on calls unless I have 4G or am on WiFi. We don't have SVDO or whatever the hell it is, we only have simultaneous voice and data on 4G.

As for the CPU Sleeper app, that seems like its a bandage to your real problem. You need to find out why your device is not getting deep sleep, which app is keeping it up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] iflip:
Oh OK. Tea you're right I was on 3g when I reported that issue. Sorry.

And yea you can put it that way but all the Apps I have installed are the ones I need and use on a daily basis. But I also agree. But I'm gonna need a better battery stats tutorial before I do that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dlsolo:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
All you need to do is install BetterBatteryStats or Wake lock Detector from the Market and let it run through a battery cycle or 2 and check the results to find put which app is causing your wakelocks. Then when you find that app I'd recommend either clearing all data from it or uninstalling it completely and reinstalling it from the market so you have fresh install. When restoring apps from Tibu there is a chance some data could be corrupted and could be causing your problem, as dlsolo said above. It could also be one of your settings in the app that you need to change that is keeping it awake.

As for STweaks and changing your settings there is a guide in the General section that was started just for that. Here is a link to it:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2079311

If you want a better explanation of what the tweaks do then follow the links in the OP of the Plasma kernel thread.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
Whelp..... I am using your version and received a FC on the XDA Premium HD app, I would doubt its an issue with the ROM though and would guess it's probably a issue with the XDA app since its always been a pain in the are.

Just thought I'd let you know though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] iflip:
Thanks this is good info. But the thing is, I don't use titanium to restore apps. I just let the play store install them. I've realized that it takes the same amount of time for titanium to do is thing. Less button pressing.

But hey. In the next release it would be nice to have the screenshot button in the nav bar...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
You can set custom Nav Bar buttons, I don't know if you can use it to make screenshots but I feel sure you could.

You still need to run one of the battery monitoring apps and find out where your wakelock is coming from, it can be an app that needs a setting changed or an app that phones home with information, since you don't use Tibu it most likely isn't that but you still need to find out what is causing your wakelocks.

As for the post with all the tweaks, you need to make a nandroid before playing with them, I have been put it a boot that didn't loop but never actually booted and I have also had bootloops. You need to tweak on the safe side until you find out what your phone can handle. Each chip is binned differently from best to worst so each phone is different and there is no way of guaranteeing consistency, so what may work for one persons phone may not work for yours. That's why it's always best to find what these tweaks mean and what they do so you can figure out what your phone can handle.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
Also thought I would add that the custom battery icon keeps switching back to the regular VRB icon at random moments and after a Sys UI reset goes back to normal. I'm posting a screenshot of it.
