Just switched from Droid Charge (on Tweaked) to Verizon Note 2 and was excited to see IMNUTS and DWITH over here!

Got rooted and unlocked with no problems. Factory wipe and mounted and tried flashing VZW remix and got the status 7 error with TWRP. Flashed CWM touch 6.0.3.0 and tried flashing VZW remix and got the error saying to make sure it is a Verizon Note 2. Flashed TWRP 2.5.0.0 and tried flashing VZW remix and got the error saying to make sure it is a Verizon Note 2.

I am re-downloading the ROM and will give it another shot. Not sure what to try next.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Never mind. I don't know if this is what fixed it, but I flashed pbj kernel and then tried it again with same download as before and tweak flashed fine! Woo hoo! I am gonna be up late tonight getting it all set up.

Thanks, IMNUTS! You da man!!!

When I get a lockup I look at the kmseg log and it's super short. I've seen you say that the log is too short but that's all I get when I do a battery pull.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
kmsg is only kernel output. If it is an app locking up the phone, this isn't likely to help. That is why I suggest trying to grab the logcat output over adb prior to rebooting. That will give you a much better idea of what is causing the problem. If you can't get the logcat output when the phone is locked up, they you'll need to figure out how to reproduce the error and have logcat running and make the system lock up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
Twice now when I unplugged the phone charger while listening to iHeart and having Glob Traffic Service on it locked up. I just tried it again with the phone set up to get a logcat and it didn't lock up. This thing with the lockups has been pretty much random. Either the iHeart and phone charger thing isn't the problem or changing to SuperSu fixed it, which I seriously doubt. Like we all seem to find, you never know what's going to set it off.

If it happens again I'll really try to take notice of what causes it and try to reproduce it. I'm sure we'll all get serious about trying to catch the logcat. Won't we guys?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] YankInDaSouth:
Same here, I never know what causes it. And after a battery pull going back and doing the same exact thing won't reproduce it for me! Very strange!

I will surely get serious about catching a logcat, but I almost never get a lockup at home, LOL! Always at work or in the car where I have no access to my lappy :rolleyes:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nunyazz:
I haven't had a lockup in several weeks. It must be an app or several apps that I don't use that is causing the issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
Yeah I can't reproduce it either. But here's a way to get a logcat without a computer.

Open Terminal Emulator and type in:

logcat -d > /sdcard/log.txt

After you reboot you'll find it on your phone sd card. Not the external card. Hopefully you can get the lockup. I haven't been able to when I tried though. I'll keep trying.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] littleguevara:
if it locks up how would you pull this? Once it has reboot?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
Yep.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] YankInDaSouth:
I'd imagine doing this after a battery pull/reboot wouldn't be of much help, no? I assumed the whole idea was to catch the logcat during the lockup. (not being a tool, just educating myself in logcat 101 - it's not something I am very familiar with)

---------- Post added at 02:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:52 PM ----------

On a different note, isn't Call Blocking (or something of that nature) displayed under settings? I thought for sure that I had it there before (between Display and Storage), but now it's gone. Or am I losing my mind?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
If you use terminal emulator, I'd guess the plan is that you'd just let it open with that running in the background constantly. Then, when the phone locks up, the output would stop, and if it didn't pulling the battery would stop it. Reboot the phone, and the log would be on the SDCard. Only issue I could see with this is that it could cause problems, depending on how long it takes to get the phone to lock up. Also, I feel that something like aLogcat would be a better option for this.

As for call/message blocking, it's still there for me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
What I tried was I started up the logcat. Then tried the steps that might reproduce the lockup. When it didn't I rebooted then deleted the log. If it got left on for a long time the log would get huge right?

The only time I tried aLogcat it truncated it and didn't have the info we needed.

The next time it locks up (if it does) I'm going to try again. The only thing is, that hasn't worked yet. It hasn't repeated the lockup.

Oh, and call block settings is there for me too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
Yes, the log would continue to grow as the phone kept running. The more you use it, the bigger it'd be. If you use aLogcat, there is an option you need to change for it to produce a usable output. Change the setting about log truncating, though, if the system did fully lock up, even a truncated log may have the cause in it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] YankInDaSouth:
Wow, that's just bizarre that the block setting disappeared :what: I just tried to fix permissions in recovery and still nothing.

Makin' my Notes ...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] littleguevara:
So hypothetically, the phone freezes, then reboots. At that point I can save the logcat using aLogcat and it should have the information you need?

Just trying to understand the sequence of how it should be done.

Also, I didnt see anything about truncating a log in preferences screenie below:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
Just went through and it looks like aLogcat won't work properly, as it doesn't request root permission. They segregated logcat so you can only view logs from your own app unless it is running as root. With that being the case, this app looks like it should work. It has a root mode as well as a recording function to save logs to the SDCard.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] littleguevara:
Was just about to ask about that. It also seems that aLogcat doesnt read constantly.

Question: in this cat log app do I need to click record? Or just let it run? And save when I have an issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
The last couple times I unhooked the car charger while iHeart and Glob Traffic Service were running iHeart crashed. Do you think maybe there's a connection? It locked up once when I did this before. Should I try to get a logcat of that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
Recording would probably be best. I haven't really used it yet, so I can't say for certain. You would want it to flush the log to storage as frequently as possible, so that if the system does lock up, you get as much info saved before you restart as possible.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] littleguevara:
I tried to save a few logs. I just cant 100% tell if they survive a reboot. Im not sure the difference between recording and just letting it run and saving it once ive had an issue other than the annoying notification bar icon. Hopefully you can check it out and provide some insight.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
Recording should automatically flush to disk, where logging and saving manually won't save it until you tell it to, which is useless if you're trying to catch the device freezing. I will check it out to verify then, but at work, I'm stuck with barely any service.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] littleguevara:
Ok fair enough. Ill leave it recording
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] GermanGuy:
Just out of curiosty. What would cause all these lockups that people are experiencing? Does TSM parts modify certain parts of the ROM that make it more unstable? Is it the SuperUserAPP? There have to be some variables explaining this since other ROMs (in particular Beans) do not seem to reproduce the same errors.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
My phone hasn't locked up for 2 days now. That's good but it means I can't get a logcat. Aint that the way it goes? When I don't want it to it locks up. When I do want it to it doesn't. Go figure.

I did change to SuperSu. I don't know how that would help though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] littleguevara:
Lol same here as soon as the phone knows I'm watching it acts right. I'm going to keep recording until I have an issue though
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nunyazz:
I don't think it is the TSM parts because I have used those tweaks and haven't had any of these issues. I've been running this ROM since the initial release without issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] *Madmoose*:
Same here, been using since day one...not one issue. Very stable for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrbxx7:
i agree i have had zero issues with this rom. i have modded and flashed everything on top of it i could want and is still rock solid for me...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
I just discovered something that might be of interest. I wasn't able to s-beam songs from my phone. I found out it can only be done with the stock Android Music Player app. That's one of the bloat apps that doesn't come with Tweaked. Thanks to Imnuts I was able to get it from the Stock Samsung apps he provided in the OP. Now I'm all set. Thanks Imnuts.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] *Madmoose*:
Hey Imnuts, quick question...how would I go about putting the stock boot animation back in? I've tried replacing all the files in \System\Media and \System\Bin but it still boots with the android text. What else would I have to do here?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrbxx7:
Try using rom toolbox to change it. Go to boot anis, and the local tab and select the one you want. i was able to select one from my sdcard with rom toolbox and apply.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] *Madmoose*:
Worked like a charm, tyvm.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] *Madmoose*:
Edit: I take that back, won't accept the zip file I have and can't find a stock one that will work. Always defaults to the "ANDROID" text witht he shimmer effect. I think it's the default google animation. Can't seem to get the n7100 animations to display.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
I believe the boot animation file name is bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg and both should be in /system/media/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] *Madmoose*:
I replaced both of these with the stock animations and it still boots with the default android ani. I did a fresh install of 408 and get the same thing. It's like it doesn't like those ani's. Could it be a kernel (3.0.31 -679347) thing? I'm just using a default install so it shouldn't be any settings on the phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
What kernel are you using? Version doesn't really tell me much.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] *Madmoose*:
Should be stock, I've never changed it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrbxx7:
I'm using blue flaming skull boot ani I also use the stock kernel with boot ani support...

https://www.dropbox.com/s/zyodiblbw2a5gl8/Unsecure Boot Image - L7 Base - Anim Support.zip

Just tested with the beast boot ani. Used rom toolbox selected zip from storage. Hit install worked no prob

Tapped from my TwEaKeD N2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
Based on what you're describing, you're using a kernel that changed the boot animation from the stock binary to the AOSP binary. I bet if you put a bootanimation,zip file in /system/media/ or /data/local/ it will use it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] icedventimocha:
For anyone having problems getting boot animation to work, check out this thread.

Make sure you use the bootanimation4u.zip, I've used this on pp+j since it was released with no problems.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] *Madmoose*:
You were absolutely correct, at some point I installed the bootani support kernel which bypasses the samsung boot animations. Reverted to an official stock kernel and all is fine...I'm slowly losing my memory as the years go by...apologies Imnuts, and thx for all that have tried to help along the way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] *Madmoose*:
Another question for ya Imnuts. Have you ever looked into circumventing the need for a password when you enable a vpn connection? Not the VPN Client but the one listed under Wireless and network (more settings). Curious if it's even possible to do. Annoying as hell to have to unlock your phone with a pin every time with a vpn set up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
My phone hasn't locked up for 3 days now. I'm beginning to wonder if there's something to this Superuser vs SuperSu thing. It doesn't seem likely but it's the only change I've made.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] littleguevara:
Lol I was just about to come and say that. I havent had an issue at all and its the only change ive made as well
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
Myself and several others haven't had any problems without switching Superuser apps :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrbxx7:
Just wanted to say thanks imnuts for this phenomenal rom. Best of both worlds! :D

sent from my TwEaKeD N2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
Just a thought. Maybe those of us that had the problem are using an app that doesn't get along with Superuser?

I use: Adfree Android, Root Explorer, Goo Manager, Terminal Emulator and yesterday I installed Catlog.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nunyazz:
I use all of those except Adfree.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
All Adfree does is install a hosts file. Maybe when an app tries to run an ad and the connection gets redirected back home it could lock up the system.

But I can't see how Superuser could cause lockups. That just makes no sense at all to me. All it does is grant superuser privileges to apps that require root access. Maybe an app could cause it but why should it matter which app grants the access. I mean it either gets it or not. Are there different ways that the s/u apps go about it? I doubt it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] GermanGuy:
I am running all these apps and since switching to SuperSu have not had any problems. I never had any lockups on Beans and it runs SuperSu. Thinking about this logically, unless IMNUTS took out some parts of the stock ROM that make it unstable (or TSM parts is causing problems), the only variable I see is the SuperUSer app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
I just thought of something. A superuser app has to monitor all the apps to know which ones need s/u privileges. At least I would guess that's the way they work. Maybe there's something different about the way the 2 apps go about it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Fwiw there is nothing in the TSMParts apk that would cause problems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrbxx7:
I agree as I have never had a single hiccup on tweaked..

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] creeater:
Haven't had an issue since I switched to SuperSU too. Has anybody had any issues since switching to SuperSU?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] littleguevara:
+1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
+1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jeremiah_1988:
Oh yeah well...... +2.....booo yeah
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
My opinion is that switching from Superuser to SuperSU is really only masking a different problem. If Superuser were really an issue, it should happen to everyone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] vwftw:
I'm using Superuser and have zero issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
I agree. I think those of us who have the problem are using an app that the ones that don't have the problem aren't. There must be something that doesn't play nice with Superuser.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MADDAN18:
Agree. Not one lockup or freeze ever. I would suggest a fresh wipe/install and gradually add your individual apps one at a time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
Is there some reason I shouldn't use SuperSu? My phone is running great now and I'd kinda like to not mess with it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MADDAN18:
That's an imnuts call on that one...I've never had one problem with superuser or with this rom or compatibility issues with my apps. Although I do admit I dont load an abundance of them, it's never been a problem with any of them. It would be logical if I was having a problem to start with a fresh install, load one app that's part of of my common installs, put it though the ringer and repeat. I guarantee you when it's all said and done, it's going to be that one app that just doesn't play well with the setup being superuser or not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] littleguevara:
I hear what youre saying but ive fresh installed this rom a total of 5 times. Clean wiped, even formatted internal data and almost within 10 minutes of booting it fresh (no apps installed, only logged into gmail) it locked up and rebooted.

That said, I wouldnt expect a change from superuser to supersu to change anything, just as imnuts says, but I havent had a lockup since ive made the switch so im not even able to isolate the issue at this point.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
My phone is running good at this point. With SuperSu I'm able to run the apps that I like. I don't feel the need to go through all that trouble just to use Superuser then give up using apps that I really like. That doesn't make sense to me. I'm keeping what I have.

Update: If someone can tell me a compelling reason to use Superuser I'll consider it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrbxx7:
I've used supersu since jb was released on my old maxx, because I've had issues in the past with super user.... now its just personal preference. :D

Had a freezeup and got the logcat. Is it supposed to be 1.5 MB? That just seems huge.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] littleguevara:
Mine were near 100mb after recording on catlog all day

Note: still havent had a lockup since switching to SuperSU though *knocks on wood*
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
Size really depends on how long it has been running. The system will automatically prune its own log, but if you're constantly recording the log to a file, the size will depend on how much you've been using your phone and how long it's been on.

This may be a silly question but do you plan to update this to the 2.0 of tweaked even though we don't have a 4.1.2 base? Not asking for an ETA or anything just curious for the future
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shrike1978:
A couple of quick questions. Is there any chance of getting blocking mode enabled on the Verizon version? Also, this may be more a question for dwitherell, but is there a chance of getting an option to disable infinite scroll added to TSM Parts? I know it's easy to disable through /system/csc/feature.xml, but I thought it would make a nice addition to the options.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
*Adds that to the to-do list*
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] a1rb0rn:
So has anyone else been able to catch a log cat of the lockup yet?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
I gave up on it when I switched to SuperSu and fixed the problem. My phone has run perfectly since.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] littleguevara:
Same here. Havent had a lockup since
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Namolas:
Make that 3. Haven't seen a lockup on Tweaked since switching. I was getting 2 a day before.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] guthrien:
I've been running this for a few days, haven't touched it since near release. Runs solid and stable, just what I wanted. I simply don't do the international base anymore it has stranger bugs than I've experienced on aosp. TSM is a brilliant.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Namolas:
TSM is quite brilliant. Definitively adds a level of customization you don't find on the other TW ROMs and I love it for that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
I ran Tweaked on my old Droid Charge. It was the best rom I ever had on that phone too. Now it's the best one on my Note. I like the way it runs so much I don't care if it gets updated to the new one they're working on or not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrbxx7:
I agree It runs so smooth one of the best ever. Hate changing anything besides themeing stuff haha. Tsm parts is the most customization I've seen baked into a stock rom... :beer::D:thumbup:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] KGBxxx:
This rom is baller. Nothing really compares to the options. Thanks imnuts. You boss bro!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] niv3d:
Hey imnuts, do you plan on updating this to tweaked 2.0?? Just wondering :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shrike1978:
Since this is built off of the Verizon base with the Tweaked changes pulled in, I assume that won't happen until we actually get a 4.1.2 OTA.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] niv3d:
Ahh good point. Wonder if the dmc3 could be used.

I honestly haven't even used this ROM lol. I'm very tempted to try it out however
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
I am under the impression that Imnuts took the T-Mobile Tweaked rom and ported it to the VZW GN2. At least that's what the OP says. That would involve radios and what else? I don't know much about it but I think it might be possible.

I'm not in too much of a hurry for it though. I love what I have now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrbxx7:
Give it a shot! U won't be disappointed!! Make sure to look through tsm parts!! :thumbup:

TaPpEd from my TwEaKeD N2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] niv3d:
How is it compared to beans?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrbxx7:
Really just as smooth. Maybe better. Customization is the best of any tw base I've tried. Im on stock modded kernel and get great battery life...one thing I might recommend is installing supersu instead of the super user it comes with, that's the only real issue I've seen and only for certain users... Not a single hiccup for me...Was on beans but haven't bin able to go back!! I had tw miui working pretty much perfectly and still came back to tweaked....ramble.

I just noticed that the Play Store has an update for Superuser that came out today. One of the items in the What's New section is "Fix crashes on Note 2 (caused by dumpstate)". I wonder if that will fix the issues users were having with it....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
With TSM Parts you can do some customizing that should take some of the sting out of it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Not to speak for imnuts, but I'm pretty sure he looked at the TMobile unedited base and then looked at what I changed. He then went about working those changes in within the vzw base (not always as easy as that might sound). This was all confined to /system - no modems or anything. More a replication and integration of changes to one base done on another. No small task that is for sure :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
Ok I stand corrected. Thanks Dwith. I guess it's better to shoot my mouth off and get corrected than to be wrong forever.
