It'll work fine as long as you're not restoring anything on /system or /data. The APK and libs were both updated a couple weeks ago so if you restore any part of the system or data partitions after you install the ROM, the APK and libs could be out of sync. If that has happened at some point, the best resolution might be a clean install.

Edit: some notes on flashing updates...

Not saying anyone is doing this, nor that it has anything to do with any issues individuals may be having but I've not posted this in this thread so here goes. For informational purposes only, as this may help some. I've seen a few people mention that they do a "clean" install and when I dig a little deeper, I find that they did do a clean install but immediately afterward, they restore "data only" from a nandroid. They think by wiping everything, doing a clean install, and then restoring the data partition they are getting a cleaner install than a dirty flash. In fact, doing a full wipe followed by an install and then restore of /data is far worse than a dirty flash and can cause many issues! Don't EVER do a clean install and then restore /data or (even worse) anything from /system. There are only two valid methods of installation and this applies to all ROMs: (1) Full wipe and clean install followed by reinstallation of apps one by one: in this scenario, only restore app data for things like games, etc. never system apps! and (2) dirty flash: just flash the new ROM and reboot. Most people don't realize that when you do a clean install and then restore a backup of /data, you can potentially overwrite not only data files with older/incompatible versions but it may even restore libs (binary executables) from old versions that don't mesh with new software in the ROM. A dirty flash is actually much better than trying to restore the data partition after a clean wipe because the dirty flash can (and usually does) update needed binaries and apps as part of the install. If you restore any part of your data partition after a clean install, you could be overwriting good/new files with old ones that will cause problems.

That's just an FYI. Don't know if anyone is doing that but I know it comes up from time to time and I have to remind people that clean install + /data restore is much less reliable than just doing a dirty flash of the ROM and rebooting.

Hmm weird. Idk the new recovery broke my ota. Old one that gentleman posted earlier works flawless with ota. Beats me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] clipsruck:
Mikey. Good point. I actually just tried it again and it worked just fine. My philosophy on flashing is this. I never restore system data/apps. I restore regular apps and their data. I.e. Facebook or Tapatalk. Everything else I either have an app for Or I let the service just do its thing. Same thing for a full wipe. Google can do Google. I just put my gazillion apps back. Most issues I have, I can usually trace back to something I did after the fact.

The only thing I did notice is that when I turn on the zero wake lag option, my battery gets retarded. It dies on the charger. I even had Verizon send me a new one before I figured out out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] idiotzach15:
Thats probably one of your unnecessary gazillion apps draining your battery
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] clipsruck:
It did the same thing on a clean install as well as a replacement phone with nothing installed after flash. Not even a Google account. Though I'm assuming that you were just being funny, it really was an issue. And when I don't select it in sticky settings, my battery is the best it's ever been. Also, it was consistent across the built in kernel as well as perseus and saber kernels.

Ijs it's a valid observation. As I said, in general, I'll usually trace any issues to something I did on my end. Overall though, I'm not complaining. I have been and am an adamant proponent of Mikey's work. :D

im on jellybeans 13 now,if i flash this rom will i have the option to sd swap,or at least save apps on sd card????

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hopesrequiem:
That's if it even booted. That sounds like a horrible idea dirty flashing two different roms over each other
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thepolishguy:
Well he didn't actually say he was going to dirty flash. I think he just meant he was coming from Beans and does this rom support swap.

I could be wrong. I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cmo220:
Definitely don't dirty flash!! That is a horrible idea. If you want to get SD swap working on this ROM you need to flash the ROM, then flash bean's kernel https://www.dropbox.com/s/0p6qxqo4nf4cfaj/Kernel.zip After booting the ROM, then rebooting to recovery just to be safe, you also need to find a flashable zip for the sd swap and flash that (http://rootzwiki.com/topic/37696-mod-extsd2internalsd-updatezip/ ), couldn't find one anymore on XDA but here is one that shoud work.

Perseus kernel can also be used but it requires changing the script. Inside the SD swap script you'll need to change the 17's to 49. There are 2 or 3 places in the script where it says "179:17". You will need to change every 17 to 49 so it reads as "179:49" without the quotations.

So retried with a different audio jack and it worked...guess it was bad cable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Woof_:
Just switched from jedi. Loving Meanbean. Very smooth and I dont really miss all the star wars sounds.

What O do miss is the keyboard version from Jedi.

I was using the samsung kb, but the one in mean is a shade different.

The difference is the action button to the left of the space bar. In mean it has the T with the pen.

In Jedi it had the mic for activating voice text.

Does anyone know how to change whats on that button or can you recommend how I can put the kb from jedi on in this one's place?

It's probably simple, but it escapes me at the moment.

TIA.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Namolas:
It should be the mic. Go into the main settings and language and input and make sure Google voice typing is checked. I think it flashes default off on MeanBean.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Woof_:
GENIUS!!! How the heck did I miss that. Many thanks!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hopesrequiem:
You could always manually add in those jedi sounds too :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] denpad2010:
thanks for your help

yeah I did a clean flash and so far so good

Well I saw this reply too late I already clean flashed this rom so by now, I don't have sd swap, but eventually if in decided stick with this rom and I want sd swap can I just reflash the rom and do what you said about flash kernel in same session when flashing rom??? Thanks in advance
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nrfitchett4:
had that happen once and just clicked ok after it told me max volume could cause deafness

Yeah, I did that one and just haven't gotten back around to it, files are around here somewhere
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cmo220:
You can flash the kernel and the mod any time. It doesn't have to be in the same session. I just said that because it is the quickest way of doing it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JamesPumaEnjoi:
I reverted back to stock/rooted for the moment and I cannot delete the mean bean folder containing stickybloat.zip and stickysettings.zip....I've tried ES file explorer astro and root uninstaller...whats up with that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cmo220:
You might be able to do it from your computer and I've seen people say that if you use the file explorer within TWRP recovery it will delete it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JamesPumaEnjoi:
Thanks bud ill try it....so it has happened to people before its not just me?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cmo220:
Yeah, I've seen it mentioned. Probably because of the way it's installed and permissions. I've seen it happen with other ROMs on other phones too when the ROM installs a folder on the SD card.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JamesPumaEnjoi:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cmo220:
I'm not sure why it didn't work. I add the files to the ROM before I install it but here are the files that I use, included in a flashable zip. Not sure if it matters but flash the kernel first, then reboot to recovery and flash the swap.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cmo220:
Glad you got it working, sorry about the problem before.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] guthrien:
Yes, edit the feature.xml file in the data/csc folder. Just use a text editor in a file manager, save and reboot. It's where you make the launcher infinite scroll among lots of other cool things.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cmo220:
Somehow I had never noticed the setting was in that file. But it is under /system/csc, not data/csc.

Android 4.1.2 versus 4.1.1 basically. It does seem a hint smoother/faster but honestly, I don't see a real noticeable difference. Only been using it for a day though: might take some time to notice more improvements. I'd say if anything, getting in/out of apps seems faster.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shill1986:
Meh, I don't fix what's not broken, or in this case already been fixed =P. However, I will definitely flash it and see if I notice any gain, or bugs on my specific device, although, I've yet to run into one problem on either rom I've tried, when others do...

Link it, I'll surely give it a whirl.

OK. Here's a serving of MeanBean ICE.

I've been running it all day and it seems pretty solid but I need some feedback to see if it is worth pursuing further. It does seem a little more responsive. This one has literally everything that the regular MeanBean has except I'm not going to support stock toggles on this international base. All the other stuff is there. Interested to see how the VZW apps work for those who use them. I don't have visual voicemail but if someone could check that out...

Just see what you think and report here.

I'd recommend a clean install but... I was able to dirty flash straight from MeanBean 1.11 to MeanBean ICE 0.1 with no problem: it just requires a couple Samsung setup items when you first boot like your name, etc. So you can Nandroid and try this either way: clean or dirty.

Thanks,

Mike
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Lodingi:
Hey thanks Mike. I'm gonna download it & give it a try. I will let you know if I have any issues.

Gonna try the Mean ICE. Thanks Mikey, this the first international build I'll have tried in more days than I can remember
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jahciple:
I just flashed mine last night and when I woke up this morning my phone was off. Had to do the battery pull to turn it on. And when it turned on and it got to the homescreen, it would bootloop. So I did a factory reset and wiped the data and all is working now. Anyone else have this problem?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dmbfan13:
I also would like to know this!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ahjee:
Unfortunately I keep getting this for my pull down bar

On mean ice I mean and a totally clean install, a real clean install I mean.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] OutdoorOBW:
You need to run the Power Widget app or run stickey settings and choose to use stock toggles. Other than that your pull down looks fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cmo220:
I have the same problem too. Also the settings button on the pulldown menu doesn't work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ahjee:
Double post. Sorry
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] barrackOBAMA:
Hey Mikey.

I know you are probably busy with mean ice

And don't get me wrong

BecauseYour ROMs are great and always have been

but I think I have a suggestion everyone would like.

I was wondering if there was a way to change the little blue circle icon that hovers on screen for the s-pen.

Maybe a couple fishable zips or aroma option or whatever.

But I think it could be the big thing that all ROMs can't live without haha but its just a thought.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] clipsruck:
I like the international base because more of the mods I like to use.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] le0.br4zuc4:
Line what? I like mods
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] clipsruck:
Anything you could find for ll4 was fine with that base. But I found a transparency mod that I love, but I've only been able to use it with international based roms. I'll see if it works with ICE in a few minutes and if so I'll try to find the original thread and post it here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] idiotzach15:
Just a quick idea that I think would be useful. Would it be possible to add more divisions to the sound bars? Such as 50 clicks between 0 and full volume for media etc...? As the speaker volume can be very loud, I imagine others would like this too.

Loving meanbean ice Mikey. Keep up the good work. Love the International keyboard for the cursor controlled.

Been running the 1.11 for a couple days now. Like the rom, but the battery life isn't as good as jedi was. Been off charger for 2hrs and am already down to 91 %.and only 20 minutes of screen time.

Have to investigate the why.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] guthrien:
Definitely check for wakelocks or some offending app, because the wake up lag fix does not soak battery. The build is basically stock so you should not be getting that bad of battery life. ICE I'd withhold judgement on, I think other international builds on our phone shows that you never know what you're going to get.

Is it common for Google voice typing not to work through blue tooth?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nrfitchett4:
Haven't noticed it. Occasionally I have problems with S voice and BT. Cycling BT usually fixes it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thepolishguy:
Yes. I get the same behavior. No voice typing /search when bluetooth is active. I am not sure if it is supposed to work like that or not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Namolas:
I've never had that problem. I'm using Google Voice typing with my bluetooth headset to type this right now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thepolishguy:
Try hooking up to an auxiliary bluetooth device. I should have clarified. When I am connected to my bluetooth speaker - that's when I have a problem. I haven't actually tested with my headset (as I never remember to charge it or bring it with me). Sorry. I should have been more clear.

Of course I am not sure about the other gentleman - whether it was his headset or an auxiliary device.

If someone could report back that would be great.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] angross:
Damn. I just realized Mean Bean was here. I didn't know you jumped to VZW Mikey... I flashed your almost daily updates for so long that when I jumped to the Note 2, I started to get itchy fingers.

Now how to figure out how to get this working on my Sprint Note 2. So far it appears data is an issue. So, I can't quite flash it yet.

Seriously... Love your work. Truly missed on the Sprint side.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] OutdoorOBW:
I'll trade you my VZW Note 2 for your Sprint Note 2. Last time I was lurking around I think I saw a thread that had a flashable zip to make any ATT or VZW rom work on Sprint.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikeyxda:
Just to let the gang know, now that I've broken the ICE and this VZW version is so solid, I'll be focusing in the ICE thread for a little while. If you're a flashaholic, feel free to do a Nandroid and then just dirty flash right to MeanBean ICE. If you run into trouble, no harm: just restore your Nandroid and then do a clean install if you still want ICE but from what I'm hearing, it's working for everyone just to dirty flash right over to the international ICE version!

The only thing you'll lose is the sticky setting to do stock toggles: I don't support stock toggles on the ICE version. Well, and you'll lose some bloat. ;) Everything else is the same and is working, and I believe the ICE version is now just as solid as this one including VZW apps and GPS. So if you want to give it a try, I put a lot of work into it so you can run it as a daily and enjoy the smoother and slightly faster feel of the international base.

Mike
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] angross:
There is. But from everything I've read there's an issue with mobile data. I'm hanging around to see if it gets fully resolved. I kinda need the data.

And thanks, but no thanks. Even though Big Red may have better coverage, etc., I like my plan with Sprint. That and my phones get fairly quick updates.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] YankInDaSouth:
This is a bug in Android that has been driving me nuts! If your BT earpiece has the capability of streaming media you will see this bug.

I have a Plantronics Voyager Pro and I have this issue ... If I disable the media option under BT settings I can then use voice typing. Downside is I lose the ability to hear my notification sounds :rolleyes: The good news is that Android 4.2.2 appears to fix this (that or the few AOSP ROMs I have ran had fixes built-in, but I think the actual OS fixes it) ... bad news is there is no telling when we'll see an official release of a 4.2.2 for our device :(

The problem must vary by manufacturer then. I use a Plantronics 590E stereo bluetooth headset and listen to podcasts for 9+ hours a day and it has worked fine for me on every Note 2 ROM I have tried.
