I have been lucky, some people it doesn't work this way & they have to do that dialer code stuff, but for me, when I lost 4g, I would flash a tw rom & 4g would be there. I didn't have to do anything else. Then I would flash whatever aosp rom & flash that zip I posted & good to go. That's why I say I'm lucky I guess. But I hope you get this figured out.

Thanks. That worked perfectly. :good: I was about to ask what gapps you were using because I couldn't update apps in the PlayStore. I had heard of not being able to update apps over 4G. I don't know if this has been mentioned, but I discovered that if I access the browser first and let it sign in, then all is well with updating in the PlayStore.

Glad my 2 days of horrible failure could be of assistance! :)

So I have been running this for a bit and it it runs pretty smooth but I have noticed really high android is usage. My phone was awake about 45% of the time which is way higher than normal. I was wondering if it was just me or anyone else.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] atsuisofu:
I have had that issue if i flash an alternative kernel before allowing a roms original kernel to boot once. Go into performance and check the cpu usage. It is likely that the high android usage is due to the cpu red linning constantly. Mine will read 1600mhz almost all the time when i am having this issue. If yours is constantly at its max. Boot to recovery wipe cache and dalvik, than reboot and check cpu usage in performance. Alsi using seeder entropy generators can cause a similar issue if used improperly.

Is there a way to set the screen setting to movie mode on this ROM?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cuezaireekaa:
for 4.2.2, yes.

system settings/advanced/screen/mode
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bobloiy:
Will it be coming to 4.3?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cuezaireekaa:
itdoesnt look like it. you could try pushing advancedsettings apk from zip 4.2 to system if you want. use nova or apex to create a shortcut to it on your desktop. it will not show up in settings after you push it. you have to use the shortcut.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cuezaireekaa:
scratch that. i actually just flashed the 824 nightlee and its got advanced settings.:victory:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] alexv59:
going to update my older nightly with 1.8 and stay there until Carbon 4.3 is stable. I'm also going to be using the latest midnight gapps. I'm going to follow your steps since it seems to have worked so well for you and at least one other. The only difference is that I'm going to try a few different PRLs since I recently found out that the 2000 PRL is a Sprint hackjob created to force SGN2 to use only the 1900 Mhz frequency instead of 800. I remember that the stock PRLs gave me much better reception

I'll let y'all know how it turns out.

Thank you for your dogged determination with this project. I know that I and others will benefit from it.n

edit: So it turns out that dirty flashing 1.8 over an older. albeit, late Carbon 4.2 mucks it up a bit. I'm doing a full flash to stock and test gps and LTE. I'm also going to be testing the original PRLs now that I found out that PRL 2000 was only put in place as a work around to address some devices that had an issue with their hardware. I find it a bit sketchy that the LTE issues began around the time that Sprint began pushing out a "generic" PRL which maps only the 1900 Mhz cells instead of allowing the phones to choose between the 800Mhz or the 1900Mhz as the devices are designed to do.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tatoniss:
Thanks for the response. I didn't flash another kernel. I went ahead and checked my CPU usage and it idles between 200 and 400.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] alexv59:
Yeah adaway is some good juju! It's a host file replacement that uses four sources of known ad provider domain names to seed your hosts file. It's the most thorough adblocking software i have ever seen. It updates your host file as the list of providers changes. It is clean and a generally accepted app that lives in the open source app world it is being included more and more with new custom ROMs.

Now, let me say that the main reason for ads in apps is to generate income for hard working independent devs. However the Play store fifteen minute return policy is rarely long enough for one to determine if the "lite" version of a particular app will be a good fit for you. Therefore, for me, adaway provides a means to evaluate a trial or lite app for a while longer. If it turns out the app is one that I want to own then I go to the play store and purchase the app so that the dev can get the fee he worked so hard for. I feel much better knowing that my hard earned dollar is being used for the app I really need and not being wasted on a useless app because of an unrealistic fifteen minute try before you buy trial policy. I feel good knowing that I have purchased all my apps and have not given my money away to some crap-ware.

You will not find it in the play store, however. You can get a certified safe authentic copy through the alternative app finder called F-Droid. Search Google for F-Droid, install it then open F-Droid and search for adaway.

Please keep us informed of your experience with the new nightly, if possible. I know there are several people waiting to see if the basic stuff such as 4G, gps, etc are working before jumping in. Call us gun-shy :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] atsuisofu:
I have been using the 4.3 from 8/21 till today 8/25. Gps is working lte is working. The only issue i have had is swiftkey force closing a few times. Also a status 7 error when i try to install with the devil kernel recovery. I use all features of these phones as i run a few businesses and need features to work such as bluetooth and the ability to have a card reader.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bobloiy:
Where did you find the advanced settings, if I may ask?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tatoniss:
So I have been trying different things to figure out my wakelock issues and I may have found something. It seems to be related to wifi. If i have WiFi on android os uses the most battery and my phone usually stays awake 50% of the time. If i turn off WiFi i get pretty good battery life and way less wakelocks. Im going to keep testing it. Im currently on the 8-25 nightly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jmuru:
I can confirm that this happens with my phone as well. I've been running the last release build for the past 4 days and kept WiFi on the first day with awful battery life. Had it off the past couple days and battery life has been great.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] honki24:
K, just checking back in to report that I'm pretty sure I'm sticking with AOSP finally. I got 1.8 to work. In my above posts you can see that I went through an ordeal to get LTE to work but now everything is very solid. The only other thing I had to deal with was a fast dormancy "mdm_hsic_pm0" kernel wakelock that was killing my battery. I inserted a line into build.prop. The line (that I found elsewhere on XDA) is "ro.ril.fast.dormancy.rule=0". If you're having the same issues and trying to get rid of this wakelock, be sure to reboot after making the change. Now I'm finally getting TW-like battery life with much better performance! If I get ballsy I might go up to 2GHz sometime, though honestly 1.8 is working much better than it was on TW and 1.6 (stock) even seems sufficient.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] slick_rick:
Is tethering working for y'all?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cuezaireekaa:
ill be flashing the 8-29 nightly tonight. if nobody speaks up, ill post after testing
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] atsuisofu:
I was just getting ready too. Has anyone else been able to get any of the 4.3 nightlies working with the dualboot kernel? Everytime i try and flash i get a status 7 error. Never had any problem with the 4.2.2 roms.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cuezaireekaa:
its running great. (carbon 8-29 that is)

think he says to use his recovery with 4.3 and the 4.3 rom has to be primary. give it a read, since i havent been over there in a min ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] atsuisofu:
Yeah i read everything there. I have put it as primary tried from external and internal sd. I am going to keep searching around. If i find an answer i will post just incase anyone else has this issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cuezaireekaa:
cool thanks for a follow up. i havent read anything for a while that way, so i wasnt sure but i plan on using it soon tho.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cuezaireekaa:
doesnt work on 829.

turns on but doesnt show a Wireless Network Connection on the pc

---------- Post added at 12:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:06 AM ----------

restoring advanced settings (aka DeviceSettings.apk) shows up in settings, but toggling Enable Backlight doesnt keep the backlights off. turns em off but doesnt stick when the screen turns off. maybe an option will be added later, because i see they put vibration intensity in the sound menu. slowly but surely adding them back lets hope.

edit: after deleting advanced settings, vibration intensity was gone from sound settings
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] flvinny521:
Thanks for the wakelock info; I was just about to go searching around for the same issue. Does that line go anywhere specific in build.prop, or wherever I want?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tatoniss:
Has anyone noticed random google app force closes and random reboots on the 31st nightly? Im thinking i had a bad flash but want to make sure.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] five40:
I get terrible battery life on Carbon and pretty much all AOSP rom's i've tried.

That's the only thing that makes me run back to touchwiz. Even tried undervolting

Any suggestions?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dakoellis:
I am getting them, as well as other select app force closes (secure settings comes to mind)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tatoniss:
Looks like the latest nightlies fixed it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dakoellis:
Couple things:

First, the blue tooth toggle is not showing up in the quick toggles. anybody else having this issue?

Second, is there any hope of getting the CM camera quick toggle tile in carbon?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] honki24:
Wherever you want. I put it at the very end. I used romtoolbox's build.prop editor.

---------- Post added at 09:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:50 AM ----------

This has been my experience too, until now. If you see above I went through quite an ordeal to get Carbon 1.8 (4.2.2) to work with LTE enabled. Then I flashed plasma kernel... I can't stick with the CM kernel - not enough power. I noticed a kernel wakelock using "betterbatterystats". See my post on how I got rid of that. Now my battery life is the same as I had with TW.

See my post 1119 above:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=45103414&postcount=1119

My battery life is so good that I'm now up to 1920MHz running at stock 1600MHz voltage. Eats up my battery more than 1800MHz (undervolted to 12750) but I like the responsiveness and can deal with a bit more drain.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tatoniss:
Hmm I am on the latest 4.3 nightly and even with that build prop edit im still getting the wakelock. Out of curiosity what modem are you using? I also still get wlan wakelocks when wifi is on.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] flvinny521:
I used the build.prop line but ended up with even more wakelocks. Still working on a resolution.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dakoellis:
Guess the bluetooth toggle was fixed in today's nightly according to the changelog, which is awesome. Still wondering about the camera though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] alexv59:
Thanks to all of you reporting your experiences with both 1.8 and 4.3. Based on what i've read thus far I think that I'm going to stick to the old finished 1.8. I tore my phone back down to stock because of LTE issues based on an older nightly and, 4.3 I'm afraid, will require a clean build when the first stable is released. Right now it takes me all day to get my ui back. I'd rather not do that until I'm on my Note 3 or the HTC One Max (or whatever it's going to be called). By then 4.3 AOSP should be stable.

It was mentioned in this thread about PRL 2000. Now without going into all the details as to how a PRL works or the reasons that just about everyone on the Sprint Note 2 (it is after all off topic) anyone trying an alternative to 2000 should try 56015. That PRL searches for LTE on both the 800 and 1900 MHz frequencies as well as voice roam on Verizon when no other Sprint voice cell can be located. This was only for informational purposes since it had already been brought up. We should not talk about it any more on this thread lest the mods move it. Let's keep it strictly Carbon. If you want to know about the different PRLs Google "all sprint PRLs". You will find a link back here to the PRL thread. Also Google "note 2 PRL write enable" for the zip file that puts that functionality back into our devices. In the interest of keeping PRL questions from cluttering the thread please PM me (i like seeing those thanks build up) and I will try to help. BUT do not PM until you've Googled the phrases above and have read them thoroughly. Lastly, I don't know if the PRL write methods will work on 4.3. Your on your own on that one.

In the past I would set quiet time on to turn off wi-fi at night and/or set the WiFi scan interval to something tolerable for me. Since I spend most of the day on one ssid I set the interval for 4 hours and I also set syncs to pull every two hours. That alone will make a big difference. In fact managing your sync activity will make a noticeable difference on a few of your wake locks.

Sent from my Lone Star Tablet
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tatoniss:
Thanks for the advice. Besides the wifi wake locks which I know can be caused by the network I have been trying to fix the mdm_hsic_pm0 wakelock. It's weird because the early note 2 4.3 AOSP builds had almost no wake locks and my battery life was similar to tw. But after a few updates the wake locks came back.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] alexv59:
:laugh: That's why I'm still on 4.2.2. :laugh:

Something else that worked for me was to change my wi-fi to a static address instead of dhcp. Since I use the same ssid about 95% of the time it's of no inconvenience to me.

Is anyone else finding that Focal saves a blank photo?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] five40:
Added the line to build prop and still experienced terrible battery life.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cmart4:
did you save then reboot too?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] five40:
Well duh!

LOL I know your just being thorough.

I really enjoy Carbon on my Nexus 7 and 10 just wish it was just as bug free on my Note 2.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tatoniss:
Well after some trial and error I might have found something that helps. I still don't know if the build prop edit helps but I have been using it. The thing that has made a a positive change for me is flashing the ljc modem. For the longest time i have been on the ma7 modem. Its not prefect like the first 4.3 builds were but better. Im currently on the sep 2 nightly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] honki24:
How do you change the WiFi scan interval? I'd like to look into this. Also - how do you change your sync frequency?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cuezaireekaa:
how i change my interval is with rom toolbox. under the build.prop edit, find the line that has wifi interval in it. the default was something like 160. i set mine to 2400. i dont change wifi routers much. not sure if i have it too high tho ;p

by sync freq. i think he means individual apps' sync freq. like fb, twitter, etc all those are changed in the apps' respective settings. and also you can set what app sync under settings/accounts - google and what ever other apps under that sub menu.

right now im using the 9-06 nightly but has anyone that is still using 1.8; have you noticed that periodically the ext.sd card has trouble mounting, or even being read for that matter? unless i reboot a couple times, or pull the card out and put it back a few times too. sometime it just stays calculating too. i havent seen this on 4.3

on another note, cant wait till 9-07 comes out. it has hardware backlights-on/off implemented :D

EDIT: 9-07 is getting more polished and very fast. BACKLIGHTS TURN OFF weee! even the crt off seems more streamlined. and all around idle time has looked good so far but its early.. also for those beautiful ListView goodies, try 'scale' for the animation, and accelerate_interpolator for a good balance of speed and effect. And i cannot stress how beautiful these animations are. My poor battery is gonna hate me for this..the wrong effect will seriously bog down the system over time so ymmv.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dakoellis:
Why is it that so many people like turning the hardware backlights off? does it make a noticeable difference in battery life, or because of halo/nav bar, or just personal preference?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cuezaireekaa:
Personal preference for me. I use my phone a lot in a dark dank cave and they get annoying when they pop on so bright when the screen is touched. In sure others don't care as much but I hate em

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] aheeejd:
I to hate them. I mean after the first 3 weeks with any device you master it. My fingers know right where to go for what I want to do. Plus, I use Nav-Bar allot. And even when I feel like having that little bit of screen they take up back, I still like no backlights.

battery wasnt very good for me whilst running 9-04 thru 9-08. wasnt good at all. dirty flashed those though from the last 10 or so nightlys...

--so i wiped everything clean and started over. battery life is back to a crawl again battery is still draining like crazy..this time w/o animations and zero audio processing for testing purposesbut we'll see how it goes. flashing back to tw and updating prl and profile may have helped with my low signal and drain as well.

everythng is getting added back slowly but surely i see. hope we can get that toggle that turns off the volume beep when adjusting call volume with the buttons. :fingers-crossed: lol

this rom is flying tho. :eek: can wait for [MENTION=349360]ffolkes[/MENTION] 4.3 kernel with thos lovely audio adjustments.

i did notice, i had to switch to OnDemand and up the min clock to 400 while using bluetooth audio and having the screen off; to prevent skipping/audio cutting in and out.

and i wonder whats up with the slow charging. slow on the wall charger.:confused:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] honki24:
cuezaiereekaa, keep blowin' it up! I'm watching your honest feedback for an indication as to when 4.3 looks like a good deal to jump on. I'm still on 1.8 and loving it. I've NEVER had SD mount problems with this phone on AOSP (4.2.2) or TW. Never experienced that problem. Since I have FSTrim and don't have any bluetooth low power devices I don't see a need to jump to 4.3 yet. I need my phone to work all day and I like all the features (like turning off the beep noise at volume button press, or turning off the hardware key backlights) that I've got in 4.2.2. I think the GN2 will likely stay on 4.2.2 until I upgrade unless Samsung releases a factory 4.3 image. ...I do miss the samsung camera. I've found no play store or AOSP camera that compares. I love the integration of the AOSP camera and the ability to slide from the viewfinder to the gallery though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] He123321:
With the few latest nightly, has there been any progress on the screen flickering?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cuezaireekaa:
Thanks:)

Idk man, I've been running 9/10 all night and *ahem, all morning and its amazingly fast and solid. No bugs I've come across and I've been testing the hell out of it. Gps, mms, testing calls on my gs2 and all is good. The battery seems a lot better since I flashed this one clean. A lot better than. 9/08-09. Really impressed. And those options you just mentioned have been added in tonight. Along with many more new 4.3 goods like all kinds of new animations and 4.2 mods. It has about everything from 1.8 finally. Just no custom kernel tweaks. Both v4a apks run beautifully and GMD s pen control has been updated as well for 4.3.

Gonna stay on 4.3 a few days to see if I forget about 4.2

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cuezaireekaa:
I'm sorry for my confusing response. There is zero screen flickering and zero black graphic glitches in the latest nightly 9/10. Progress has been made. :)

edit: not that there is anything wrong with the stock trinity kernel, but if you guys want to overclock and try out some of the perseus/plasma audio tweaks; flash the devil kernel we have in OG development and make sure to install his devil tools so you can gain your vibration intensity back. it does break hardware lights being turned off though. your call. the sound is superb tho :) i guess its something to play with till we get some 4.3 stability/kernels just thought i'd share..i for one am going to test out these trinity kernels for neow

I can also confirm that there is a lack of graphical glitches. Only thing I notice at this point is the CRT screen off animation isn't as good as it was on 4.2.2.
