I actually just found a thread for a verizon note 2 stating that when you flash a TouchWiz rom over a 4.2.2 rom that you have to manually move back all of the /0/ folders or you're pretty much screwed because the system will be looking for your applications on the /root of the sd card when in reality they are still in the /0/ folders.

However there is an app that fixes everything for you. It's in the first post on the page I'm sharing the link to. Here's the link - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2321685

I will try it and report back in a few hours when I get home from work.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] pyr0path:
Yeah it looks like it worked. I'm just trying to avoid the inevitable; losing all data on the internal sd card. I suppose that wiping and formatting will do the trick if you're not looking to keep any of the contents from the internal sd card. Thanks for the insight. Appreciate it.

Serious lag!!

Hey guys. I need some help. I feel like I've tried everything I can think of. Back around MAC version 4.x I started noticing serious lag.....that which makes the phone not even respond unless I reboot. So of course the first thing I did was a fresh install of 4.x and then did a fresh/clean install of 5.0. The lag still existed. I then tried clean installing two other ROMS just to see if it was ROM related. Well it's not. I get the same serious lagging with any ROM. I've tried the stock, Perseus and Sabre kernels and those don't seem to make a difference. I even installed V6 Supercharger and it didn't help a bit. I do notice that my available RAM shows 1.75GB total and my system is always using 1.25GB-1.55GB. I clear the RAM and the system speeds back up but then starts lagging within minutes. I've tried cache cleaners, memory managers, and I still get serious lag. I've been doing computer building/testing for years and learned that you have to use a process of elimination to figure out culprits.

To me it appears that it has to be one of two things: A) a hardware issue? B) some app with a memory leak? C) A baseband update? [started around time I upgraded to MA7. Now I"m running MC2]

I've done everything I can think of except installing one program at a time to try and figure out if it's a program causing this resource suck.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. BTW: my phone has not always done this. Up until recently it ran like a raped ape. Now it's just frustrating. :(

BTW: I'm NOT overclocking

PS: I just got my wife a Sprint NOTE II. I have not rooted her phone yet. It's all stock and it runs lag free like a champ all day long. Boo Hoo!

just did a dirty install from 3.5 this morning, everything is working great, except i noticed one weird thing, in the notification bar, the icons for a new email, text message, ect, are really dim(faded). Is this normal or is their a setting to fix this? Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Macguyver:
How does it run on a fresh rom install with none of your apps? Before I try to hunt down an app I'd try that. If it runs ok then its an app you have to track down. If not then I think I'd try returning it to completely stock and see how it runs.

If it still runs like crap you likely have a hardware issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jettubby:
Well I rebooted into safe mode today and have been running it safe mode and it's been fast. So..............I'm leaning toward a particular app. I don't run too many apps; maybe 40 user installed apps. No overclocking and no I/O, CPU tweaking or anything like that. Just the Perseus kernel. I do run Nova launcher but it has always been smooth. I guess now it comes down to finding the app. Oh boy.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ninja_unmatched:
A battery saving app would do it too. Also if you suspect an app, you can figure it out. The phone will show you what apps are taking up whatever amount of memory.

In settings in the app manager. There is a cached apps button but to see it you have to slide over to "running". This should help you figure it out if an app is hogging up resources.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] madeagain:
Digiblur posted a zip somewhere (I think it is in his PRL thread but not sure) to remove the connection optimizer altogether. Deleting it with titanium will cause force closes when you go into mobile network settings.

Here is the link. Hope its cool I posted it.

Hi. I am currently on v3.5/MA7 of this rom. I am wondering what the best way to update to MC2 (and 5.0). I understand they are not directly related. Updating to 5.0 is the easy part I guess. However, I cannot find any info to update to MC2.

Also, once updated to MC2, is google wallet expected to work w/o any additional hack?

Sorry for my noobiness, but what do you mean by 'have you read the op'? In 3.6 there was the Aroma installer, but with 5.0 I didn't notice anyway to modify or choose any options upon install.

Also, since the 5.0 upgrade, I've noticed that anytime I answer a call now, even with bluetooth headset turned on, the call when answered, immediately turns off bluetooth and changes to phone conversation, and I have to hit the headset button to get my call back to bluetooth. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Changing standard key press sounds

I want to change the standard sounds for KeypressStandard.ogg and a few others. Using ES I navigated the place where these files are stored (system/media/audio/ui) and replaced them with the .ogg files I want to use. I did do a refresh after replacing the files and I did play the replacement sounds to check them and all seemed fine so I rebooted.

After rebooting the sounds are unchanged. That is, they are the same sounds that were assigned in the ROM. I should mention that I have gone back into the ui folder and the files there still play as my replacements. Did I miss something here? Do I need to unzip the ROM and change those files in the ROM?

I know this seems a trivial thing but it would mean alot to me to be able to get this little thing done. I would indeed appreciate some help on this. Thanks guys!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sheetmetalninja:


Did you make the changes to the permissions? Check the permissions of your original ogg files and copy those over to the new ones. And if I remember correctly, you can't have a big supreme in the length of the new one compared to the original sounds. Hope that gets you there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] iLoveBBQRibs:
This is by far the best ROM for the Sprint Note 2. The only negative thing I could find about this ROM is that while I'm in a phone call then decide to plug in my headphones (Apple Earpods) to talk, the person I'm talking to can't hear my voice (as if I muted the phone), but if I have the headphones plugged in before I place the call or receive the call it works perfectly fine. Plugging my headphones in before or during a phone call worked fine while running the stock ROM. A fix to this would be appreciated.

I apologize if this is a dumb question but I cant take my data speed any longer.

I am getting 213k down and 383 up. Its downright painful to use. Any ideas from all of you brilliant people?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] MiguelHogue:
Simply became modems aren't rom dependent which is why you can use any modem you want despite the rom build.. Unlike kernels (just an example) where you need to run a touchwiz kernel with a touchwiz rom (and vice versa for an AOSP rom)

Does anyone know how to remove the green(the contact name, number & call time are shown) & black transparent bars that are on the screen while you're on a phone call?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ninja_unmatched:
I never really cared too much about the dialer screens but that would fall under a theme of sorts. You could check out what dialer themes are around for the phone. Usually with a dialer theme that part is also changed to match.

I haven't done this on the Note 2 but on past phones I've had yes. Some dialers though had issues like say if you needed to reprogram the phone it would not work unless you went back to stock dialer. I'm waiting to get an older phone back (galaxy s for Sprint that had a hardware keyboard that was out around the EVO days. I keep forgetting the name. ) now that he can't switch to it. He say it won't activate so it occurred to me Cyanogen was on it & alot if times the issue with activation is the dialer.

So if you find any dialer skins just read a bit on the comments.
