Not to be "The Party Pooper" - but the reason I really like this ROM is the "Lightness"...I've come to appreciate the ability to only include the things I actually use.

my old favorite ROM is suffering from feature bloat, so I hope that at the least, these "requested features" are included in the Aroma Options zip.

Received my first bug a couple of days ago. Didn't say anything since I was still on 1.06 but after upgrading to 1.10 last night it still exists.

My messaging app says there is 2 messages avaliable/unread and there is none

I've been trying everything. Force stop, clear data. Tried it with titanium backup. Freeze, wipe data.

I even thought turning off notifications on and off would do the trick but nothing helped.

Any suggestions besides re wiping the whole phone?

I have been dirty flashing since 1.04 I believe
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cmo220:
It sounds like you're using another app along with messaging. Maybe an alternative MMS app or Glowfly or something? This is a problem that needs to be fixed in the app. Some of the app makers say it's a Google problem, but there's at least one app that solved the problem. Unfortunately I can't remember which it was.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] toskabab:
Just a few things I've used before that I thought would be nice to add...

1. Lock Screen Torch - pressing home button while on lock screen turns on torch

2. Clock options - Position, am/pm, color, day of the week.

3. CRT Animation toggle

How can I use the debloat script to copy app from my external sdcard to the system app

Example is i like using the transparent weather wideget more than the stock widget

These is what I've tried so far and not working

## Transparent Weather Widget

Cp /mnt/extSdCard/backup/AccuWeatherWidget.apk /system/app

Cp /storage/extSdCard/backup/AccuWeatherWidget.apk /system/app

Cp /storage/extSdCard/AccuWeatherWidget.apk /system/app

So I decided to copy the file to /data and try again

Cp /data/AccuWeatherWidget.apk /system/app

That way works but my goal is to hav3 the file in my external sd card and still be able to copy to the system app

Thanx
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] idiotzach15:
Not really sure what your asking for at the end there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shill1986:
Yeah me either. Hey Mikey, any way to have one of those motions open the app drawer? Like palm swipe up or down, instead of having then both do the same thing? Not sure if that's possible, it's just one of my favorite Nova features, and I hate wasting the dock spot with the app icon. Love the other motions so far, definitely nice.

Center clock would be cool, or a way to add it in ourselves. I don't mind it though because honestly it usually gets really cluttered with just a few notifications

I want to try lidroid with this so the lock screen function works more fluidly then the included power toggles. Aside from the status bar and battery/signal, it won't modify anything else really will it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bhp117:
What I meant was if the apk I want to copy to /system/app is in the internal memory the meanbean.blt will copy the apk

But if the apk is in the external sdcard it won't copy the apk to /system/app

So my question is how I would I be able to use the meanbean.blt to copy a apk from the external sdcard to /system/app?

Or is it simply meanbean.blt does not support external sdcard

Ok guys i must be doing something wrong, im trying to vznaigator in the bloat sticky and it dont take. Can someone write how the file should look to add it thanks

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] idiotzach15:
Oh I didn't realize you meant the external scard. But you would need to specify that in the command so it would be something like

cp /storage/extSdcard/locationOfApk

Just pointing out that you can't move or replace the app drawer icon in the touchwiz launcher
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cmo220:
Instead of cp /storage/extSdCard try cp /mnt/extSdCard

Some phones do it as /storage but this phone only does it as /mnt At least that's how it works with the SD swap

After re reading I see you already tried that. You tried it as cp and not Cp right? Cp I think would be different than cp.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bhp117:
Yeah I try all that with cp and couldn't figure out what was I doing wrong

So I copy that file to /data and it worked

There's another apk I also try and the light saber sound mods too none of them work if its in the external sdcard it'll only work if its in the internal sd card

That's how I input on the meanbean.blt to remove it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hopesrequiem:
So no one has used lidroid on this rom? I feel like that's the ONLY thing missing. These power toggles are ok but lidroid is where it's at. Don't want lidroid enough to go use another rom which is why I ask if anyone's used it here
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shill1986:
Ah man I totally forgot about not being able to trash that icon. No bueno.

Yeah, when adding which file you want added the bloat, be sure to find the destination to said file, as it may not be in the same folder as the others. Regardless, I'm lazy and just go into app drawer and rapid die uninstall with menu. Work's, takes two seconds.

I thought it was weird that lidroid wasn't on this rom, however, I like power toggles now, having used them . I like the power toggle widget as well. Good stuff, I just wish it could hold more toggles (that I never use, but nice that on the off chance u do. Ha).

Follow the instructions in post #3 to setup the bloat removal. Initially it will take a couple of reboots and recovery installs, but after it's setup, the what bloat you want removed will be removed on future installs of MeanBean.

So is there really no way to type a non-dictionary word on the new keyboard?

I can't find anything in settings that doesn't turn the swype typing off along with it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Namolas:
Rerun your sticky settings and disable the enabled auto correct.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikeyxda:
What I always do is tap in the middle of the non-dictionary word which will put your little drag cursor in the middle of the word... then drag the cursor back to the right (end of the word) and it'll accept the word as-is. When you get used to it, it's pretty quick: just tap and then fling the cursor to the right. And as already pointed out, if you don't want the auto correct on at all: just disable it in the sticky settings. I prefer to have it on since you can type really fast and have mistakes autocorrected.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] OutdoorOBW:
Mikey is their any chance we will see the Lidroid Toggles as an option with this ROM? That is the only thing I am missing. I flashed them before I upgraded to 1.10 but it changes the signal bars, battery, and takes away my MeanBeans logo and put the brightness slider back into the drop down. If you don't want to add them as an option would you point me to a way to add them to the ROM without changing everything? I tried on my own but can't figure it out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JTrusty:
OMG, It's been 2 whole days since 1.10 dropped and no update? What's up with that Mikey?

Just kidding, I LOVE this ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DrunkUncas:
I'm pretty sure my excessive use of slang and profanity is going to cause me to have to disable this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ahjee:
Hey Mike, I'm likely alone on this but I was wondering if we could get an option to use the status bar from older versions? Maybe in sticky settings or does anyone know how I can change the status bar back to stock
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikeyxda:
Can't end Friday without a flash. 1.11 has a little tidbit I've been using lately. Got tired of having to find/restore paid apps out of ASEC storage so I added an option in sticky settings to get rid of the asec crap and put apps where they belong. Speeds up app loading, etc. on paid apps too so figured some people might find it handy.

Mike
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] OutdoorOBW:
Did some homework on what ASEC is and this de-ASEC is a welcome update. Thanks for always looking to improve your ROM. And I must say the OTA Updater is awesome. Went to look at my phone and saw I had an update. This is the first rom I have used that has this feature and it's quickly becoming my favorite.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sirmims:
hey Mikey good to see you developing for the Note 2. I used your rom on my Evo 4g LTE and I was gonna runs Scotts rom till I saw yours. keep up the awesome work man.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] LexusBrian400:
I can't find the updated sticky settings.zip. :).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bambamishere:
Should be in your (MeanBean) folder.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cynkrzy:
Can we restore paid apps with titanium after the "No Asec" mod ? or do they need to be re-downloaded from the Play Store and new backups made ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikeyxda:
In theory, you'll only be able to restore them if they were backed up after they were de-ASEC'ed. So if you are running 1.11 and your paid apps are de-ASEC'ed and then you make a Titanium backup, it should be able to restore them. You could try it and let us know. I'd be interested if/how it helps with backups as that is one touted benefit of de-ASECing.

Mike
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cynkrzy:
Thanks, will re-download paid apps after the flash and then do a backup and restore test.

Edit: Oops, I forgot I'm gonna Dirty Flash... takes a bit of getting used to, as I believe you may be the only developer that endorses dirty flashing... I will do a backup and restore after the flash to check it out.

---------- Post added at 07:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:08 AM ----------

Titanium restore works.

I removed the backup for a paid app. did a new backup. un-installed the paid app, then restored it with Titanium and it restored it to data/app

Works great. I did have a paid app frozen, that got copied to data.app but the app was also still present in data/app-asec, so I just deleted it and all is good.

y'all might want to un-freeze any paid apps (I'm anal I freeze widgets if I'm not using them) before running the stickysettings.zip.

Another great release, thanks Mike!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikeyxda:
Cool. Thanks for the report. De-ASECing should certainly make backups/restores easier. I use MyBackup Pro but honestly, sometimes in my developing I hose things pretty bad and just restore the entire /data partition on occasion. This de-ASECing really helps with that. Everything goes back where it belongs. Honestly, I'm with the growing group who thinks the ASEC idea is just useless. Anyone with a rooted phone can just go straight to /mnt/asec and pull the pkg.apk straight out of there anyway so it's not like it is protected from forwarding. Any well written paid app is going to check the license anyway so forwarding shouldn't be an issue as far as piracy. I just want the apps where I can easily find/backup/restore them!

Mike
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] toskabab:
I apologize in advance if this has already been brought up. I admit I haven't really been keeping up with the thread but I ran a search and couldn't find anything.

Something I've noticed is that when I'm on a call, the call screen goes away and the phone goes back to the home screen. The display also stays on the entire time and doesn't go blank like it's supposed to with the proximity sensor. Has anybody else noticed this or is it just my phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sasquatch080:
And another one. Ota no bueno.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] idiotzach15:
Do you guys having problems with the ota have an older version of meanbean in your ota folder? If so delete it then try again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikeyxda:
Yeah, the OTA is finicky if you have too many old versions. Gotta clean the old ones out every once in a while.

Mike
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] idiotzach15:
It just occurred to me that you could probably have the blt script remove the version you just flashed from the ota folder... or at least move it i guess

Mikey I just found out that you got a note 2 and got exited cause I loved your work with the Evo LTE but I jut saw you switched to verizon and I don't blame you.. I wish we had a mean rom for the sprint variant :(

Hey I was wondering if you can add exposed settings and stuff?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] OutdoorOBW:
You didn't have to quote the whole first post to ask a question. You can install the exposed framework yourself. I can't remember where the exact thread it but just Google Xposed Note 2 and it will show up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cynkrzy:
JellyBeans has exposed in it. I really don't want to see it included myself. I like this rom clean and fast
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shill1986:
I'm beginning to think you don't want anything in the ROM , lol.

But I agree with you on the xposed

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JamesCaywood:
I don't know xposed is pretty good I think and can I update with ota updater are well I get brick / locked for good??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleevasteve:
Haha :D I love having options, the file size is already huge on stock TW ROM's...I'd rather have a large zip, but be able to modify everything to my liking. Xposed is a really powerful application, and comes default with the framework uninstalled if you don't want to use it. 240 DPI is perfect for this screen IMO. I'd personally love to see a fully inverted(blacked out) ROM that's got everything modified and running @240 DPI. I'll usually do it myself, but a lot of times I never get around to re-installing the inverted apps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hopesrequiem:
Please do some reading. You're going to break your device if you don't.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JamesCaywood:
I did where it says that u can't use ota but I don't know if they fix that are not so I'm guessing no
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cynkrzy:
For the most part you're right... The reason I switched to this ROM, besides the fact I like TW, is that it's light. My old favorite has gotten so bloated with, useless to me, features that I had to bail.

I personally don't need every bell & whistle XDA comes up with.

Now if they become options, then I have no problem with that at all, the download size doesn't bother me.

Oh and Mikey, now that I've switched, I've really come to appreciate it all the more. It's dead reliable, it's fasssst, smooth. I even like the Weather App & Power Toggles :cyclops:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] toskabab:
I've noticed a few bugs and I'm not sure if it's my phone or the rom. I was wondering if anybody else has noticed it..

1) While on a call, the screen does not go blank when held up to my cheek and it also goes to the home screen rather than staying on the call screen. I have to go back to the call screen via the notification bar if needed.

2) The "quick glance" motion gesture is finicky. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. The times that it does work it finally shows up about 20-30 seconds after I swiped my hand.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shill1986:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] speedfreak228:
Tried 2 other roms and switched back to this one. Just can't beat the smoothness with the battery life. Does anyone have a transperant status bar like on the s4? That mode would make this phone complete.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] toskabab:
Alright thanks for the feedback guys. I'll look into what's wrong with my proximity sensor then.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JamesCaywood:
Yeah it has to be the sensor are did you delete something you was not post to?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] OutdoorOBW:
Also make sure you have Auto Screen Turn Off checked in Call Settings. A few times mine got unchecked some how.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikeyxda:
I don't plan to do a transparent status bar because the one on the lockscreen cannot be transparent and I believe they should all be consistent. That's why I went with the beveled look instead.
