Clean install before I do anything

1.set up gmail account so I can access play store

2.Down load root explorer or your file explorer of choice.

3.Go to where I have viper mod stored with new viper mod know need to make it system app just install

4.let it do its thing and reboot.

*if you use titanium back up or anything like that do step 1-3 first and you should be okay .

At least that what worked for me . Use latest viper mod.

More about the LTE issues...

Slick-Rick posted over on the PA thread a new APN file to replace the one that exists (all it does is Move the sprint one to the bottom). basically it seems like everyone is OK with the Sprint eHRPD Internet APN, but are you guys able to get LTE with that? Whenever I go through an area, I still get no data unless I pick the LTE APN, and if I pick the LTE APN and there is no LTE, it switches to the eHRPD. Am I alone with this problem now?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] robertm2011:
Nope, the problem appears to be widespread in our AOSP community, seems to be due to a problem in the CM base that a lot of our AOSP ROMs use.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dakoellis:
Yeah I understand that but with people talking about switches that solved it for them, I was wondering if anyone else tried the fix and it didn't work for them
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] crzycrkr:
I'm on the 10-16 nightly with a clean flash and stock kernel and don't have the issue anymore. Switch between LTE and 3g is clean and quick. This kinda reminds me of the mms issue months ago, lol

Also, when I did have to manually switch the APN to LTE, I could get 3g without the APN switching back
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] slick_rick:
The APN issue should be fixed with last nights nightly. LTE should pick up and switch fine now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dakoellis:
Alright, I'll try a clean install. im on 10-17 atm
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] He123321:
Good to know, and time to re-download this ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] chconser:
I'm running clean flashed 10/17 nightly w/stock kernel & when trying to stream Bluetooth audio with the screen off, the stream is broken; audio cuts in & out. Works fine with the screen on.

ROM is smooth & problem free otherwise. Data connection issue (LTE to 3G & back) is working as it should for me with this release.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dakoellis:
I've had that happen off and on with pretty much every ROM ive tried. started again around 10/06 i believe
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] chconser:
I switched to Plasmakernel & it fixed the problem. I'm wondering if it might have to do with too low of a default screen-off CPU frequency voltage setting included with the stock CM kernel.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dakoellis:
Maybe. I feel like it went away on 10/18 personally. I didn't get any cutouts in a 2 hour drive.

I'll keep that in mind for the next time it happens though

EDIT: spoke too soon. Went to the plasma kennel and no issues anymore
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DarkManX4lf:
How do I get the speaker volume to be louder?

I am using plasma kernel and s tweaks. With the speaker left and right channel to 63 and band gain to 7, the volume on carbon Rom is the same.

Edit: I turned off Voodoo sound and turned on Wolfson sound and it the speaker is much louder now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DatBoiJeremy:
So happy to say that everything is working on my end and battery is great. The best part is though, my 4G is working with no APN settings being messed with. Loving this rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cuezaireekaa:
I use the Wolfson audio. I think sounds better, as well as a little bit louder. But maybe you'll need the voodoo app. It's posted in the plasma thread about 5-10 pages back.

Ugh, sorry didn't see your edit right away. :o

How are you guys getting plasma kernel installed? Every time I flash it and boot up i get non stop android.phone force closes
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dakoellis:
It always just works for me. My process for nightlies is select carbon, plasma, gesture pack, secure settings, ad blocking, and reboot (no wipes at all)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DarkManX4lf:
You are using the beta version of plasma kernel right? Not the one on the first post of the plasma kernel thread?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jok3sta:
Yah I was. I figured it out yesterday. Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DarkManX4lf:
What did you figure out? I just tried the 10/23 nightly with plasma kernel and I get the android phone force closes.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jok3sta:
My problem was that i using the kernel from the first post. After using the beta it was fine. But I'm still on 10-21 I didn't flash 10-23 yet
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DarkManX4lf:
Ahh OK cool. Yeah I had to go back to 10/21 also.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jok3sta:
I'm glad you said that. I downloaded 10-23 and was about to flash it. Guess ill hold off for now
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dakoellis:
You guys should keep an eye on the changelog here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Zcp6iVWVw_7iH-ErnKgkYy3r5QuqV8PHFoQMb8hoBwQ/mobilebasic

Says custom kernels with 10.23 may cause FCs because of changes they made.

So glad that android os doesn't eat up my battery so much anymore while idle, or otherwise. Got 4 hours of sleep last night and the phone didn't even drop 1% with ds battery saver killing my data when not in use. Usually android os would have been fairly high within this idle time.

Was able to eek out an extra hour+ of screen because of it Don't know about other nightlys, but carbon 10-23 has been great for me. Haven't noticed any bugs either besides the custom kernel issues..

Blazing fast too. Favorite ROM for a reason. heh, and actual 4.3 will be out in a few weeks so i guess ill try out this touchwiz thing when that arrives, but it better have battery like carbon lmao

You guys are familiar with team blackout updater app, free & donate in play store? They have all the gapps blacked out or transparent. I flash a minimal set of gapps, it just installs play store, then I install TB, restore updater app, uninstall play store, then install through updater app all the gapps. Just an FYI.

Hey dude whats your Density set to?:confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cuezaireekaa:
I'm using 240. I always used 260 with this rom because systemui would fc at anything lower. Its not doing that anymore so i use the 240.

That allows a lot of apps to think its a tablet. so with some apps, it gives me a tablet layout and i like that. But the phone is still in 'phone mode' with the status bar at the top.

I also use xposed AppSettings to set different apps individually :)

Anyone able to help me troubleshoot a weird issue?

I too was having small issues here and there on 10-23/24. Don't have 4g so don't know about that but I ref lashed clean the 1021 build and plasma. Feels more stable to me. Feels faster too but I'm sure its the kernel.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DarkManX4lf:
How do you change per app dpi?

I changed the system dpi in carbon fibers>interface but can't find where to change per app.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] LuCkyCn:
Download xposed and install app setting.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DarkManX4lf:
Yeah I tried this but still can't get tapatalk out of tablet mode.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dakoellis:
The LTE switching fixed yet? I was also having issues with having to toggle LTE to get it to work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] LuCkyCn:
@ DarkMan.

Under app setting, you must change the screen dp. Tablet mode is usually at 600xXXX or 1000xXXX. Change it to 320.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] nicenice19:
Sure is
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DarkManX4lf:
Yeah I set tapatalk to 320 and it still stays in tablet mode.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cuezaireekaa:
It could be that your systemwide DPI is too low so its making tapa do this. Just to test, try you systemwide DPI to something like 260 or higher and see if tapa still does it

This had happened to me before, but I wanted the opposite. I wanted tapa in tablet mode. But I used 260 as my system wide DPI. I had to change it for tapa to work in tab mode.

sent via tapatalk - sph-l900
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DarkManX4lf:
I think I fixed it. I set the system dpi to default 320. Then I uninstalled and reinstalled tapatalk. Then set the system dpi to 240. This seems to have fixed it.

I think what happened was when I was in 240 dpi, tapatalk updated and installed the tablet version.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cuezaireekaa:
aha! so i have to do the opposite if i want the tab version. cool :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DarkManX4lf:
Yeah only thing is if tapatalk updates again it will install the tablet version.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DarkManX4lf:
OK I think I fixed this as well. I used the xposed play store fix module and set the dpi to 320. Now when tapatalk installs it's the phone version.

Crap... gotta re-root. Also - I'm having the LTE issue.

I think I just had to toggle LTE once and it appears that LTE is now working... not sure, haven't done much testing yet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] honki24:
How do I re-root? Used CF auto root and that appears to have run correctly but apps are responding that I don't have root. Root checker app confirms. I tried installing SU from market but it detects no SU binaries and says if I just moved to 4.3 I need to re-root. Any other method to root besides chainfire CF auto Root?

Edit: I've now tried manually installing SU and that didn't work. I went here: http://download.chainfire.eu/351/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip and downloaded and flashed this zip. The CF auto root got rid of TWRP so I had to ODIN TWRP back on and then flash it... because goo.im app can't install the recovery without root access.... So now I've run CF Auto Root a few times, flashed TWRP back through ODIN, and now I still don't have root.

I need root back.

Yes, I tried toggling to "Disabled" and then back to "Apps and ADB". No dice.

Side note: how do we get rid of the "Privacy Guard Active" notification? I use TSF Shell launcher which uses a notification. I disabled the notification but apparently that's linked to the privacy thing and now I have a notification that privacy is activated for my currently running app (my launcher). I've just exchanged one notification for another.

I decided to go with a nav bar look and I was trying to # out the lines in system/usr/keylayout/generic.kl but it keeps failing in every root text app i have tried. Anybody done this before on 4.3 carbon?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DarkManX4lf:
Anyone been able to download the latest carbon nightlies?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] honki24:
Yes, I just did yesterday... but I still lose root! I tried everything I can think of! This time I flashed Chainfire's Superuser zip before booting. Of course I always fully wipe before flashing and also wipe dalvik/cache between zips. How do you guys keep root on the carbon 4.3 nightlies? The chainfire Odin tar doesn't work either. It looks like it's working (red pirate android comes up, phone reboots) but no root!

Okay so I quadruple wiped everything and then started fresh with the latest nightly and GAPPS. I think what I did this time correctly that I didn't do last time was to reboot after restart, let apps install, reboot again, then download SuperSU. SuperSU wouldn't update the binaries so I ODIN'd them in and then rebooted twice and everything was fine. Seems that rebooting after each significant event helped. Guess there's some stuff happening at boot that I'm unaware of. All is well now.

Confirmed working, flashed this 4G fix with the latest nightly, 11/7 and I am getting some terrific results.

Battery issues seem to be solved as I have 50% battery after about 12 hours.

Also, after the 4G fix was flashed I noticed I get a stronger 4G signal than usual. Really loving this.

Here is proof of battery life issues being fixed:

Ok, my wife has the S4, she gets good reception, strong signals just about every where she goes. She said her phone just did a massive system wide update and that as a result, her signals all got stronger blah blah blah. I drive in the same areas with my Note 2 Carbon Rom, 11/2 nightly, and I get crappy 1-2 bars of 3G just about everywhere I go.

At first, here in Minnesota Twin Cities area, Sprint kept telling me they've been working on tower upgrades, as reception just sucked. but now that my wife seems to be getting good reception, why wouldn't I as well?

Do I need to unroot and get a system update of some sort?

Do I need to switch to a TW rom?

Does the Note 2's reception & antenna just suck in general?

Do I need to install a different PRL?

Also, other things I'm finding is that sometimes, not all the times, when I answer with bluetooth, the sound just goes to the headset instead of my bluetooth, even though all is on and enabled. Other times, I'll have my bluetooth in my ear and enabled, and when I try to make an outbound call the same thing happens. The sound just goes through my device and not my bluetooth. I've tried this with 2 bluetooths by the way. The motorola whisper and a recent expensive plantronics one as well. Same issues with both. I don't know where the fault with this kind of stuff lies again. Are these rom issues? Kernel issues? Note 2 issues? etc.

Any help or suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mephistonian:
Try flashing the 4g fix posted a page or two back. This boosted my signal significantly.

If this doesn't work, try flashing back to a TW ROM and updating Profile and PRL.

That's all I can offer ya' lol.

So at work I use an LG Tone stereo bluetooth headset with my phone for music, podcasts, phone calls, everything. Recently been trying out some AOSP 4.3 roms after running Whomp for months just to try something different. The one issue I have is that when I recieve a phone call, while playing a podcast or music the audio is blared out through the external speaker of the phone EVEN THOUGH THE PHONE IS ON VIBRATE OR SILENCED! And it is very loud. Not good in an office. So I'm wondering if this is a bug with 4.3 because it has never done it on TW.

Is there a setting I'm missing? This has happened on both Slimrom and Carbon, so I think its something in the base Android 4.3 code or a setting somewhere.

Thanks in advance.

I've been updating nightlies nearly every day since a few weeks ago. I have yet to run into a download problem on the carbon web site.

To troubleshoot, have you been downloading while on your Note 2? If so, has it been on the mirrored carbon host site?

The reason I ask is because the actual carbon mobile site seems to be empty when I try to access the l900 downloads. The mirror works just fine for me.
