So far I really love this ROM! It's awesome! I have just about everything setup the way I want it.

Just a couple notes and a few questions that I feel I already know the answer to, but would like to ask anyway.

When I installed Assassin 7, I chose to install the 6x7, 7 dock launcher. When I did this however, I wasn't able to get a transparent statusbar, my launcher wouldn't rotate to landscape, and I couldn't stop the home pages from looping.

I since installed the updated Simplistic and now I can make the statusbar transparent, my home pages finally stopped looping, but it went back to a 4x4 grid and 5 dock icons.

Are Simplistic Framework launcher mods incompatible with the modded launchers? Ideally I'm trying to customize a dock with 6 slots, ability to move the app drawer dock icon, scrolling wallpaper, 4 way rotation, and at least a 5x5 grid.

Also, is there an option anywhere to have the app drawer icons listed instead of sidescrolling?

I hope these questions don't make me sound discontent or ungrateful. I really like this ROM and all the options it gives me! :laugh:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
I am so glad you like this rom. We are here to optimize and help.

Ok. For the launcher grid., simplistic framework installs its own launcher modded for simplistic control. So if you install another one, you will loose some features ability to be controlled by simplistic.

So simplistic framework needs simplistic launcher for optimum Simpllistic control.

Now for the app drawer items to be in list mode, open your app drawer and click the options button, choose view type, and select alphabetical list. I use this myself.

I hope I answered your questions :D
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] shunsai:
yup, you did! now if only i can figure out how to get control of my battery drain issue. i thought it might be the kernel i was using (red pill), so i used the kernel changer to switch to stock DME1. doesn't seem like it changed much. i haven't researched it too much yet, but Media seems to be killing my battery (according to battery stats, it's 47% responsible whereas the screen is only 21%).

Quite a bit of a late reply, so not sure if anyone else answered this question yet.

Do you by any chance have power saving mode on? I believe it disables the haptic feedback as that helps cut back on battery consumption. If you turn power saving mode off, the buttons should work again.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
Media server....

Ok. It seems you have bad files of media. Open up the gallery from root explorer and delete album covers and only keep the images. Or create a .nomedia file in the directory
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Mano1982:
Thanks Shunsai :) No one actually answered, so i wiped everything and flashed the ROM again :p Then restored apps etc with Titanium.

Thanks you answered :)

Signatures

Hey bro i made you this, hope you and asassins users like it :highfive:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
Wow. Hat's off man. Thx. I will contact you in pm. Assassin banners are cool
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] KokoReyes:
:D

Rezided and another one :highfive:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] shunsai:
Thanks, I didn't do exactly that, but I did comb through my folders and delete some unnecessary files, renamed some album covers to folder.jpg, and also deleted the App data for Media Server in Titanium backup. It seems to be better now. Media is no longer having any significant effect on my battery stats.

A bit of an unrelated question- I'll probably start another thread elsewhere about it- I am in Japan, so the current stock FM app couldn't natively tune to Japan's FM band (76-90 Mhz). I want to start looking into the feasibility of tweaking the current FM radio app to scan for the Japanese band instead of only the Americas/European band, or look into tweaking an Xposed module or something. I installed the very old Galaxy S Radio Widget Location selector, and it works like a charm on my Galaxy Note II. While I could probably flash the old FMradio app from the Galaxy S, I'm more interested in tweaking the new one from the Galaxy Note II as it has FM recording built in. For anyone thinking 'try Spirit FM' I've bought it and use it and it works well. But it would still be nice to have the stock software tweaked to work on the Japanese FM band. OT I know, but the reason I bring it up in this thread is because I uninstalled the FM radio app a few days ago. Now that I've discovered the old FM widget works, I'd like to reinstall it. But I'm having a bit of trouble reinstalling it from the backup I have through Titanium backup. I really don't want to reflash the entire ROM as it's just about perfect the way I have it setup now. But if anyone knows where I could get a flashable zip of the FM radio or could point me in that direction, I'd appreciate it. Sorry for the OT. I now return you to your regularly scheduled forum topic! :D
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Dimitri178:
Man wesamothman. Been checking your posts and U must be the most helpful and kind developer i have ever seen.

Awesome! Keep it up!

---------- Post added at 12:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:14 PM ----------

So just to be sure. If i want to change modem to dlk7 i have to flash the special rom wesamothman made?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
I will provide you with fm radio flashable zip soon.

Thx for your kind words. I am glad to be of help.

Yes. You need to flash thunder rom to get modem change ability. However I must warn you that some people failed and some others succeeded. I don't know why some failed although I tested myself successfully.

So nandroid first.

EFS backup.

And flash thunder rom.

Good luck :D:thumbup:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
Hi, as promised,

here is FmRadio.zip attached. Flash it through recovery.

The script will remove your old FmRadio.apk from /system/app and it will install the one in the zip (for N7100) and sets its permission automatically.

Good luck :)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] mazelost:
Hi I have been using Assassin's rom ever since i bought my Note 2!!I find the rom amazing with lots of optimazations and very battery-friendly!!

Today i flashed the V7 but i faced a problem:I can't connect to my Samsung account.:confused:Whenever i try to restore my data from my account it says:You can not connect to your samsung account.please try again later!And the same happens with the synchronization of my account:(

Could anyone give me a piece of advice?How could i resolve this problem?Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] shunsai:
FmRadio.zip Worked!

+1

I couldn't agree more with Dmitri178! Wesamothman, you are awesome! One of the most generous and helpful devs I've come across in my nearly 7 years on these forums! Thank you for this zip! It worked like a charm!

What's even more interesting for me is that my experiment kinda worked! Using the FM Radio widget I mentioned, I was able to tune to local stations here in Japan. Then I open the FM Radio app and I'm able to not only save the scanned Japanese stations- I was even able to record using the current stock FM Radio app!! It's just what I was hoping would happen.

The only problem now is that I still can't use the app itself to tune in to those stations. I first have to tune to them using the widget, but once they're tuned in, I can record using the app! Not perfect, but much better than I expected! So thank you for helping me get this app back on my system and thank you for this still amazing ROM!!
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
First try to clean cache and data from samsung account using app manager.

Then remove your account.

User the kitchen to install it again.

Sign in and check.

I am glad for you and glad to be of assistance :thumbup:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] majko11293:
Hi,

I have problems with my battery life. I think it is really bad. Check pictures..I am running Assassin v7.0 with Perseus kernel, undervolted and installed Battery doctor too..thanks
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
This is very bad. My hunch says you have Wakelocks preventing your phone from going to sleep.

Install better battery stats app from the market. Open it. Then turn of the screen for 2 hours. Then open the app and check your kernel and partial Wakelocks. You have to narrow down the issue to find out which app is causing the problem.

But first, Disable all sync and check. [MENTION=676423]mzakrih[/MENTION]

Could you please comment on the battery life you have with Assassin? And give us your valuable advices mate.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] mzakirh:
It has to be a rogue application which is consuming your battery..if you're using battery doctor, it should definitely improve your battery life. I'm getting at least 35-40 hours off a single charge with about 8-9 hrs of screen on time. Do check your wakelocks as bro Wessam has suggested.:)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Kremata:
I never tried Assassins ROM before, maybe I was afraid to get killed if something goes wrong,lol(get it? Assassins...anyway) But I am pleasantly surprised. Lots of people are saying Assassins ROM have too much options, too much blah blah. Turns out all the options are things I always flash seperately making it much longer to have the ROM I want(except for Crossbreeder). So now I can just flash Assassins, restore my apps and Voila!

Now a little bit of ROM review.

I found that this ROM is very boring. It has nothing at all. For example..

No problem

No bugs

No freeze

No lags

No useless wakelocks

Nothing to troubleshoot or fix

Nothing to complain about in the forum

So you see it has nothing:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

Awesome work team Assassins:good:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] mzakirh:
That's a huge reason why the thread is quiet..you'll find other threads running into thousands of pages coz users have a lot to complain n crib about !!!

Kudos to Bro Firas n Wessam for delivering an Install n Forget your woes ROM:D:thumbup::D:thumbup:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Kremata:
I was on ARHD v17(ME1) for about a month and I had incredible battery life with it. But since ME6/MF2 I could not find a ROM with similar performance. Assassins is the only one that gives me no problem AND excellent battery life.

Note to OP

It's supposed to be light as a Feather(just saying, leather is heavey);) But now you know I read the OP before flashing.:laugh:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] mzakirh:
I'm sure it's a typo dude:p
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Kremata:
I know but it's all I could find to complain about with this ROM lol.:laugh:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] mzakirh:
Lol..true:D:D
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] shunsai:
lol. funny...

and i agree with pretty much everything you both said. i'm coming up on 50 hours battery life. no complaints here. it is the reason this thread is so quiet. if only other ROMs could be this "boring". haha
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Kremata:
One thing, I can't get my home button to go back to the main screen. I don't think it's a problem from the ROM. It's probably just a setting but I can't find it.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
Guys. I am so happy you are enjoying this rom. Yes. True. Assassin rom is made to stand-up for its name.

For your home button, are you on simplistic or stock? Which launcher mod did you choose?

You may need to change your launcher and try.

If that doesn't fix it, nandroid and then flash the rom again no wipe with recommended recovery twrp.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] majko11293:
There are screenshots of better battery stats..so what I have to do? Because my battery life is really bad :/ thanks
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
In bbs, there is "other".

Post a screenshot here.

For now, uninstall drop box.

Remove your Google account.

From settings, Disable sync.

Reboot into recovery,

Clean cache and dalvik.

Boot in the system for 1 hour and check the battery drain.

If this is ok, add your Google account and install dropbox from market.

If problem persists, there should be an app that is eating your battery.

Full wipe

Install fresh rom.

Install the apps that you only use from the market.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] majko11293:
Thanks for reply :)

There is screenshot of "other" from bbs ..and thanks for your advice, I will try that..thanks :)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] shunsai:
Just thought of one question I've been meaning to ask- is it possible to move the app drawer icon in the dock? Would this require a launcher tweak or is there something more to it? I'm a little surprised I haven't really seen that in custom stock launchers.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Kremata:
Thanks, I made dirty flash and everything is fine now. The problem was from B&B theme, I really like this theme but it is outdated now.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
Yes. This requires launcher xml and smali changes.

Glad you had it done successfully :thumbup::D
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sohebq:
After trying moon and alliance, I am now onto this rom. So far no bugs, very stable.

Guys have a question regarding rolltube, is there any official thread for that? It doesn't show ny size and I can't download multiple videos
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
First of all, we are glad to welcome you to Assassin family, the bug free, most stable and fastest rom.

For rolltube, I don't remember if there is a dedicated thread for it but in the app itself when you start a video, you can find download option and you can choose high quality from app settings.

However, better app to control the download and video sizes is tubemate.

Search for it. If you don't find it, let me know and i will upload the apk for you.

Enjoy and welcome to Assassin family :thumbup::D
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sohebq:
I am using tubemate for 2 years may b, great app, just saw this it looks good too.

Keep up the good work. How about you insert lockscreens like in other roms (aroma installer).
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
What do you mean lockscreen?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sohebq:
Like other roms are using 6 7 lockscreens in their rom manager, xperia, aosp, htc, optmimus like that
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] jamaljmys:
Great thank you

Could we get customize options for soft keys ? Such change quantity and targets and size same as in AOKP as example. It will be very great and useful .

Thanks again firas
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
Hi mate. Firas and myself discusses to implement this option like aokp/aosp roms. But after thorough research and trials, it is too difficult and needs massive amount of coding on touchwiz.

So myself I bought hide soft keys application from market and it is super helpful.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] bunnybash:
Wow - not really the way to sell more phones i would think. If people are not buying your phones it's probably because your phone doesn't look like the best deal available. I am really not sure why they think delaying a software update will sell more phones.

However in this day and age, you would think that Samsung would have learned something about brand loyalty, and how to establish an emotive response towards a brand (Apple obviously do this best). A great way to build brand loyalty would be release the freakin updates anyways!!

Bottom line if people are not buying your phones, you are not going to create more buyers by holding back software updates!!!

Getting back on track - freakin love this ROM still!! :D
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] pat7:

Here is an impression of the pwr of this amazing Rom.

! The jumps up in the energy level is of flashing different kernels. Tried 2, but ended back with Perseus. Best one for me.

New firmware rolling out for India/Sri Lanka/BanglaDesh & Nepal. Hope they catch your interest in some way;)

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
Thx mate. We will download the firmware and check if update is necessary.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
Guys.

We have built the a basic rom based on the new firmware XXDMG1 to test the modem change ability.

It seems SAMSUNG decided to make the customers stick to latest modem. Can't change modem anymore.

So we need your votes here....

Do you want the new rom based on XXDMG1 recently released as firmware?

It is a lot of work that we put into this rom and huge efforts and modding.

Show us you votes and love of thanks :D
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] mzakirh:
Bros Firas n Wesam,

Looking fwd to the newest firmware. If we have to stick to the latest modem..so be it. I would vote for it:thumbup::D
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] acmilanisti:
I'm also looking forward to your new masterpiece with new firmware.. :thumbup:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] fenchai:
Wouldnt it cause problems? Some people need to change modem for better receptio ...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] shunsai:
If it ain't broke, don't fix it, I feel. I find the old modems perfectly suitable. Until there is some known advantage I would prefer not to update.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
Updates: The new modem of XXDMG1 firmware seems good.

Will give more updates and future plan as soon as we are done testing...

Stay tuned...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] mzakirh:
Is it the lull before the storm? ;);)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
Yes it is. So far testing is solid and extremely smooth.
