Liquid is AOSP. Beans is Touchwiz.

I'm up and running running again... it works!

I'm up and running running again... it works!

Okay after a while of being crushed coz I thought I lost my precious Note II for days I finally found a solution and worked:

Problem I encountered: Everything works except I don't have Radio signal (Carrier Signal) it just shows the circle with slash in the middle.

Here's what I did:

#1 Went to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2024207, and downloaded Official VRAMC3 4.1.2 5/5/13 (I605VRAMC3_I605VZWAMC3_VZW.zip extracted inside is KIES_HOME_I605VRAMC3_I605VZWAMC3_1098177_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5)

#2 Flashed #1 with Odin

#3 Went to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2272066, and downloaded CASUAL(R515b) No You Verizon! (NoYouVerizon-GalaxyNote2-CASUAL R515.jar)

#4 Run the jar file in #3

#5 Number #4 didn't run as smooth as it is, but after about 2 hours of rebooting and repeating (both phone and pc), it just went through! Booyah! This also installed TWRP 2.5

#6 Downloaded the latest version in page 1 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=39300172#post39300172), both LiquidSmooth Rom and Gapps, copied both to external SD Card

#7 Rebooted to TWRP 2.5

#8 Installed LiquidSmooth Rom

#9 Installed gApps

#10 Wiped Dalvick Cache

#11 Reboot -- i hanged here

#12 I went back to TWRP and cleared cache and data

#13 Reboot, OMG! It worked like a charm!

#14 I have signal! And I can make calls, and I'm on LTE too! O.O

Thank you and just wanna share my experience and for those who have the same problem as me, I hope the above helps! (Just when i thought I have a Note 2 as a tablet, now I can use it as a phone again!) Thank you all! Now let me look for the donate button, this is a pretty solid rom!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmike35:
What kind of battery life are people getting. I have had my note 2 for about a week+ now, and I get normally 25-30 hours off charger 6 hours on screen. So far this past charge, I have gotten 1d 12h off charger and 4h 45min on screen with 9% battery left. Is this about what others are getting or am I pretty lucky to achieve these numbers? Fantastic build btw, really enjoying this
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmike35:
Does this support multi window? I might have looked over it possibly, will glance agian

Well found a few post, answers my question, S Pen/Multi-Window not supported.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] viper31573:
No multi window but has halo
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Syns:
Hey guys just downloaded this ROM... love it.. Quick question how do I get the S Note back on?

Also any way to make the MMS sending larger? Tested it and looks like it's a lil blurry
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] SportingChap:
S-Pen is supported in that a stylus is supported. Go to Settings --> Language and input and you'll see some stylus gesture options. For anything else, check out Note Buddy with CM S Pen Add-on. The Samsung S-software is proprietary and only works on TouchWiz ROMs, so you won't find any of it on Liquid.

I brought this up earlier but never got any reply. You could try messing with the custom User Agent string like I did. Or you can try another SMS app like Textra or 8sms. I basically don't send MMS anymore unless I have to, and use Hangouts or Snapchat instead.

Edit: To be fair, I did get a reply suggesting I update to the newest Hangouts that has SMS integration. I haven't tried MMS out on it yet. You might have some success there. If the 2.0 Hangouts hasn't rolled out to you yet, you can download the apk from androidpolice.com.

OK. I have had the same problem with all 3 versions of liquids rom. I can't get my phone to pick up any bluetooth devices. I clicked on viewable by any device and scanned for devices. And still no luck. Anyone have any suggestions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] biyobe:
is 2.37 the official latest for the N2 or is 2.10? I see 2.37 on http://www.drdevs.com/devs/teamliquid/official/2.37/Liquid-JB-v2.37-OFFICIAL-i605.zip but the Op here only shows 2.10... what's the correct?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] donelam304:
2.37 is the latest version
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] donelam304:
Just a bump. Not sure what to do to fix it. And I have tried other devices. I was able to connect to a very old Motorola bluetooth device. Just nothing that's newer than 2 years old or so. If I can't find a fix. I'm gonna have to go back to stock.. And I really don't want to...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmike35:
This doesn't help but I am able to pick up and connect to my car (2013 tl) and my Motorola command Bluetooth headset that I purchased atleast 2-3 years ago
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Syns:
Is any one having issues with data or signal drops? Seems this is the only issue I'm running into
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] andrep182:
I assume you did a clean install? Fix permission? If so, I think you should make a backup, install any touchwiz ROM and check if your bluetooth is fixed first.

Btw, I have no problem connecting to my car and bluetooth headphones with this ROM

---------- Post added at 10:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 AM ----------

+1 one of my only complains
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] donelam304:
Yes. I done a clean install and just done fixed permissions just to make sure they are good. Still nothing. I went back to my tw rom and it works fine. I even unpaired it and re-paired it to make sure. And when I re-installed liquid, I am not able to pair my jawbone era or car bluetooth.

---------- Post added at 08:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:48 AM ----------

Also when I am on liquid I keep getting a text message from Verizon and the only thing it says is "1" that's it. Just the number 1. Lol. The sender is "VZWNMN" not sure what that's all about either. I do t get it on tw rom.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bhp117:
Jus flashed this last night and loving it

1 question though

Are there a way i can use my 64 gig sdcard without formatting it to fat 32?

I've tried flashing 2 different kernel that support exfat32 " devil kernel and plasma kernel " but still no go

I remember using a script for 4.2.2 to read exfat32 sdcard but cant find anything for 4.3.1

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] donelam304:
I have no idea. And can't find anything on it.

I am getting the same issue running Jedi. That is why I came over to look at this rom.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] E30Nova:
I just finally updated to 2.37 (assuming that's the latest version because it had a more recent date than the 2.10 build) from 2.9 and now I can only do 5 targets on the lock screen. Is there a way to get back to 8 targets? It kinda sucks having only 5, those extra three made more of a difference than I thought. :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] andrep182:
This is really weird .... I have been using this ROM for at least 3 weeks with no issues with GPS locking (I did it by loading touchwiz ROM, change GPS fix to North america, get a lock then come back to this ROM). THe past 2 days, however, I haven't been able to get a lock. I then attempted to restore my touchwiz, and even reinstall touchwiz from scratch, but still cannot get a lock ... Wonder if anybody had experienced this and know how to fix it? thanks!

Note: Scratch this, finally was able to get a lock after using a 2nd touchwiz ROM =D phew
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] E30Nova:
Anyone know how to get the 8 targets back on the lock screen? I went from 2.37 back to 2.9 because I just couldn't deal with only 5 targets. Someone in another thread said to get widgetlocker, but unless I'm missing something, it seems like it can only do sliders. I like the whole 8-targets-in-a-circle thing..

Help?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] deadman96385:
It was removed because it was broken and was interfering with other features.

Edit: you can add 5 targets and then add 4-5 shortcuts
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] E30Nova:
Dang...

I guess the shortcuts in addition to the targets is good enough. Back on 2.37 lol. Thanks. :highfive:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmike35:
It seems shortcuts break when changing DPI to 240....is this a known issue? Seems fine on 320 but once 240 they disappear. Using cLock or dash clock lockscreens.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] E30Nova:
What kernels boost the volume? I was running the Neak kernel on 2.9, but I just downloaded the latest one for 4.3.x LTE devices and my phone got stuck in a boot loop. Also, is it possible to change the sounds for when you touch something on the screen and type? 2.9 had different sounds that I preferred...although I might like the ones in 2.37 more if I could hear them better...so my opinion might change once I use a different kernel.

What are you guys using?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] drx69:
First of all... i ran liquidsmooth for a long time on thunderbolt and was thrilled it is on the note2.

after reading the whole thread... i have a question however.... I have a 64G microsd installed and with Jellybeans... i could swap the internal and external. I cannot seem to get it to work for this rom. Is it possible? If so, how do i go about it?

Other than that... so far so good!

Have you guys tried the GPS workaround? Flashing a TW rom, getting a lock and then restoring your AOSP rom?

All location settings are fine, and it reads as gps on.

It's not working.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] revolt1:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] zeroxg4:
Not having this issue. Clean install.

GPS isn't working though. Did the lock trick from a previous ROM (had been working on all AOSP ROMs before this one) to no avail.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] interceptor_1972:
Firstly, I gotta say I love this ROM. Pie controls, target apps on the unlock screen, apps on the notification bar just to name a few became quick favorites.

However, there are a couple of things I noticed. Firstly, volume in general sounds lower than stock (call, media, ring, etc). Secondly, my signal strength (both 4G and wifi) have gotten lower than stock. With the stock ROM, I used to have consistently great signal strength (3-4 bars on 4G full on wifi) and now I have around 1 bar on 4G and low on the wifi. Anyone else notice this?

ROM was installed clean and fresh. Thoughts?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] killa408shark:
I noticed that too there's areas where I only get 1 bar and my 4G is slow sometimes it drops to 3G other than that I love this ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] interceptor_1972:
Thanks for confirming. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't just me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] carhauler1969:
Keep in mind AOSP displays signal differently than a stock or TW ROM. If you're in the same area on the same towers you have the same service, AOSP just displays it differently. The best way I can explain it is TW displays a composite voice/data signal, whereas AOSP displays true data connectivity. The displayed signal bars will always be lower on an AOSP ROM vs a TW ROM, though the connectivity is the same.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] molivarez3:
Is navigation working for anyone else. When I turn on gps it works on maps but when doing directions it never locks onto a gps

I've tried going from TW rom back to this. It works on Jelly Beans Rom BLD 12

Now I'm having a serious problem with this ROM. I flashed clean yesterday, and less than 24 hours later I'm getting phone calls and i can't get the call, because a click able error msg. pops up, and its an error loop. See picture

Hey guys, awesome ROM.

Couple questions! What do I need to do to get S Note and S Voice on here? Are there multi window options? Finally, what about ad blocking? I didn't even know there were ads on xda until posting with this rom now.

Thanks for your work! Your ROM was absolutely the best on the thunderbolt.

Cheers mates
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] deadman96385:
Snote and svoice are only found on touchwiz Roms and Google adaway to remove ads.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] falkon114:
Thanks guys, works like a charm.

One thing I noticed this morning: the LTE button on the quick settings panel doesn't actually turn LTE on or off. I have to long press it to go to options then toggle it on. Any ideas? I went into settings and deleted it and readded it, and now I don't even have an LTE toggle in my phone settings at all.

Thanks!

Has anyone come from Beans 22 to this rom? I used to run Liquid on my Galaxy Nexus but I wanted a Touchwiz rom for the Note 2 for all the S Pen features. Anything I'd be giving up by switching to Liquid from Beans 22 TW? Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dpadaddict:
Liquidsmooth is based on AOSP, Beans is TW. In my opinion you don't lose anything switching from TW to Liquidsmooth , a much better question is what you gain from switching, which is A LOT. There are much better apps like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmd.spencontrol to bring ever better spen features.

Good luck

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] falkon114:
One more thing I've noticed that's apparently pretty prevalent on AOSP devices... When a popup SMS window appears (I'm using Handcent), I click the reply box and when I start typing, the keyboard covers the text input area. Before, it would auto-adjust and move the popup window up. It seems like a long-standing AOSP issue. Has there been any progress in fixing this? Does anyone know a workaround or fix?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikespe:
THanks but I like Touchwiz & think it offers quite a bit to Android...at least on the Note 2. If I were running any other phone I would want pure Android..

Man, is anyone else having massive battery drain problems with this rom? I'm on 2.37 with the stock kernel and I put it on airplane mode last night so my fiance could use the charger. In 8.5 hours it went from 100% to 78%, and battery stats says Android OS is the main problem, with 8.5 hours of keep awakes. I also randomly get an error saying SystemUI has stopped working and the launcher basically relaunches itself.

I was on 2.9 earlier and did a dirty flash because I didn't want to lose all my stuff. I guess I can try a clean flash, but... :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] falkon114:
Yeah, bat life has been fine for me. Clean flash should fix it.

There are two consistent bugs that I've found so far.

1. My lockscreen just.. stops working. It was working okay earlier today, but I had to reflash because...

2. My data is iffy. I noticed that in the data settings it was set to CDMA/EvDo (was only getting 3g). I switched it to include LTE and then couldn't get data after that no matter what setting... So I reflashed and it fixed problem 2 so far but problem 1 remains, and I 've played around with lockscreen settings and can't get it to stick even with reboot.. Just turns on to the screen I left off at.

Ideas?

(I'd be curious if my lockscreen issue is related to E30Nova's problem with battery. Perhaps the phone still thinks it's awake with the screen off, so it doesn't activate the lockscreen and keeps on services that wouldn't normally be on when the screen is off?)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] falkon114:
Also, my LTE speeds are... Horrible. Is there a better modem than the one included that I can flash? In areas that I normally get 10-20 mbps, I'm getting .05-3 mbps....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sgtguthrie:
I loved this rom, but I had way too many data issues.

I am not sure why no one ever made an official 2.37 thread here for i605, or a 3.0 beta thread. They exist for my other device, d2tmo. I've noticed this phone in general just never really got the love it deserved from devs.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mistermagic87:
Thanks for the update - this is by far my favorite ROM on the note 2. I'm currently using Alliance Rom(Beans build 23) and like it a lot but have always prefered aosp to touchwiz.

Quick question - I'm assuming this isn't an issue but wanted to confirm - can we run LiquidSmooth with the MJ9 modem that is required for touchwiz 4.3 ROMS ?

The reason I ask is I wanted to try the new Alliance Rom - I originally flashed MJ9 while running LiquidSmooth 2.37 my radios said unknown after the odin flash.

To fix I had to odin back to stock unrooted - re root with casual and re flash MJ9 radio and then install Alliance Rom to try it. Since then I haven't tried another rom.

I'm assuming there shouldn't be any issues using an updated modem but wanted to ask to save me some time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] HerroMoto:
To tell you the truth I haven't really tried but I would believe that this would be okay to do.
