The wifi direct isn't activated ? I can't send nor recive through it ?

Can it be solved with a patch or something , cause im on Swift V2 due to modem issues and cant upgrade to 3
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
If i remember correctly wifi direct is debloated from this rom. Either you flash the kitchen, and skip all pages until you get to apps and bloatware page and choose wifi direct, or I will provide you with flashable zip tomorrow.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Jwan:
That would be great , as I already tried kitchen and for some reason the aroma doesnt work in it and I have to reboot by pulling battety out

So, i'm waiting for a zip cure :D , it doesn't have to be tomorrow ,, whenever you want
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
Kitchen works mate. But since it is heavy on twrp as it has lots of . Prop files to be cached, wiping cache and dalvik makes it load faster without heckups.

Anyway, it is night late time here and I will have to get some sleep. Will do the zip tomorrow and upload it for you. Don't worry ;):thumbup:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
Hi Joan,

As promised, here is a flashable zip for WiFi Direct [Attached].
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Jwan:
Wow !

It hasen't even been 24 hours

Problem with Spen

Hi

Im just facing one problem with the Spen

At times it points Somewhere and it is clicking something else

You can check it out in the Screen shot

the pointer is way above the tab which is selected

this happens when the Spen is hovering
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
With time, spen pointer location hovering misplace due to caching issues of the app. This is known android problem.

Go to market, install "reset spen (free)".

There is pro version too.

It solves this issue and it did the trick for me. :thumbup::D
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] shenurulz:
Tried that , didnt work :(
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
Then boot into recovery and wipe cache and Dalvik. If that didn't help, flash the rom again no wipe.

The day after tomorow is 19 baby,can't wait for the new versions of Dubai dream team
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
What is happening on 19th? Fill me in plz.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Cruzfire:
You guys updates the roms on 19 of every month
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] fenchai:
Mate, with so many roms i dont even know whats the big difference between assasin, swift and thunder....rreally need some explaining
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
Everything you need is in each thread op.

In short,

Assassin is to build your rom.

Swift stock theme with least apps debloated.

Thunder is my choice of mods built in, light and modem change ability
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] fenchai:
Now i get it. Then assasin is the xombination of all. I will go to assasin as always.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] shenurulz:
boot loop

Twice got stuck in boot loop in 2 days. The rom is very nice with amazing battery life. Please suggest a solution. I cant always factory reset in TWRP to get it working again.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
Really can't tell you what to do mate if i don't know the reason that caused the bootloop.

Might be a mod.

Try wiping cache and dalvik and fix permissions.

Otherwise factory reset.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] iba21:
For me is the same, i think the newer modem means some better "features"

One thing.. older kernel works with newer modems? I'm using the last perseus and i don't want to change it..

If all new modems are compatible with all kernels, for me is ok, upgrade it to the last :D
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
I think the new firmware is to fix the security holes announced and discovered earlier of vornabilty and security breaches. But not yet confirmed.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] iba21:
It's probably.. but.. perseus kernel will boot with that new modem?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
I will have to test that.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] iba21:
Is possible to come back to other modems with efs backup?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
It runs fine with Perseus kernel.

With efs backup you can go back to older bases that have the ability to change modems.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] iba21:
Perfect.. so it's possible to use perseus kernel with the last modem, and sure, come back to the older if necessary with an older firmware + efs backup.. right?

P.s. do you know a way to force the 2D hardware acceleration? At every reboot system unload the value on developer section
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
I think there is a way. Yes. Let me check and I will come back online here tonight.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] iba21:
I know there was a script.. difficult to find it.. i lose it by sd damaged :(

i'm trying to find it.. with that value all is smoother

Don't know if it works for real
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] blakmazk:
I would really like to try the new dmg1 since I've heard its overall smoother and the battery backup is great... It was be great in combination with swift... All I need to ask is that... I'm on swift 2 now... When I flash the latest update I. E. Dmg 1, would the efs get corrupted? Since if it doesn't corrupt then I wouldn't revert back... It isn't a problem with me...

Pardon my english... I'm too sleepy rite now... :p
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
It seems samsung decided not revert to old modems. So since XXDME6, XXDMF2 and now XXDMG1 firmware, you can't revert back without efs backup.

But yes, the new firmware is better in terms of stock kernel, modem, battery consumption and security stability.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] blakmazk:
I won't revert as I am sure that swift and the makers of it won't disappoint their users... :) but if I flash the new firmware on top of it would I loose my imei... If no then I would love to be the first one trying it out... :cool:

Edit : if the firmware is ready... Dload link plox....
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
You have to wait a bit buddy. Yes firmware is ready but for basic features for testing purposes only. If the team feels it is worth proceeding, then phase 2 starts (modding).

The we start Assassin Resurrection rom build. Swift follows. Then thunder follows. Some patience buddy.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] iba21:
Wait.. you don't lose your imei with the upgrading version.. but with the downgrading!

Modem is the radio partition, it comunicates with wireless hardware and sensor too

sure, it uses the imei to get a connection with the operator.. so.. probably when you do a downgrading, you'll brake your efs partition.. the partition witch contains all infos about phone, as like imei, s/n, etc etc

And.. yep.. with an adb command you could change imei (warning, in same state it's ILLEGAL)

Why is good to upgrade?

Simply, radio comunicates directly with RIL, the software libreries of android, and sure, better comunication between those, better phone reception

for me, in my opinion, newer radio are always better than older.. but.. not in all situation, and sure, if you don't unlock your note, you'll upgrade rom and radio to the last without the downgrading possibility, so, i don't think why it could be better to use an older radio

And, sure.. newer kernel needs newer radio.. kernel "speak" direcly with the hardware, and the radio as like the software driver, so, kernel needs compatibility to run..

Hope you understand

my advice.. wait the release of 4.0 of that fantastic rom and, sure, when you'll flash that you'll upgrade your modem partition to the last

Hey wesamoth. I have a question. I am currently on dme1 rom with dlk7 modem. I really wanna try the new assasin/swift/thunder. But i wanna check how the dme4 modem performs in my region.

If i flash the modem on my current rom can i still flash back to dlk7 without any problems?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] iba21:
Whats the changelog of g1 build?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
If you flash newer builds than xxdme1, you will not be able to go back to previous ones without good efs.img backup. But the new build under construction is very good XXDMG1.

Check assassin last post, firasusman released XXDMG1 changelog.

Then we will start swift tomorrow. Assassin will be released as soon as upload is completed successfully.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] iba21:
Thankyou.. but i would know the G1 changelog and not the assasin's one :p

Whats the base difference from E6 to G1?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
Lol. Buddy, Google and Samsung do not release change logs for the firmwares. So we can't tell for sure, but:

Upon testing both I can tell you this;

1. Dmg1 modem is safer, stronger and better for signal reception.

2. Dmg1 contains fixes for the security issues announced in the previous builds. Major vulnerabilities are fixed and security holes closed. These points correspond to hackers get into your device / Network sniffing your personal data transmitted online and apps that have permission issues stealing your personal info.

3. Smoother and battery friendlier.

Bottom line, you can try it yourself once released and see it for yourself mate. Whether to upgrade or not is your call, but myself is going to upgrade :D:thumbup:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] iba21:
That's why i never ever find a changelog of samsung's firmwares :p

And sure, i'll upgrade the rom, i always upgrade at the last, and you sad why it's a good thing to do it in your post ;)

Btw.. if you need some other beta testers, i'm free right now :D

Swift 4.0 Changelog

Hi Guys,

Here is the Swift 4.0 Changelog:

Upload will start today, hopefully we come online tomorrow upon successful upload.

Stay tuned...

Please press that Thanks button.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] -SOONZAI-:
Wow.. Eager to try it out.. btw, what is mean by RTL? -,-
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] ryudovn:
right to left for arabic language, i think so :D
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] iba21:
The rtl is the software decoder of the rom.. it's in the upper level of modem partition.. and all is needed to have the best wireless connections ever!
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] firasusman:
This is different.

What you are referring to is RIL, the one for modem connections and baseband identification.

RTL is right to left for Arabic and Hebrew languages to display correctly. So, those who are converting the system language to Arabic, RTL displays the text correctly from right to left.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] iba21:
Oh.. LOL
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
We might release swift v4.0 today. Upload in progress so stay tuned mates :D:thumbup:

Awesome. Any feedback yet on how the modem performs in the Netherlands?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] iba21:
but the efs backup of this rom creates a .gz file..

is it flashable by odin? or manually flashable by other? :confused:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
No. The efs.img backup I am referring to is using Dr. Ketan method thru terminal Emulator.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] iba21:
But.. those are not img.. but.. .gz.. a compression file..

And odin uses .tar and gz file compression.. thats why i sad it

Ah..

http://www.imgur.com/0iNNg11.png

Perfect.. 4.0 works good with perseus kernel and last g1 modem!

The reception seems the same.. but.. have to test better in the next days ;)

Great work!! :thumbup:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
Yeah I know the efs backups are .gz files.

They work with twrp recovery advanced restore when you restore from nandroid and select efs.

But the correct way is to back efs up thru terminal as .img

I v8ed 4 this rom ★★★★★

Thanks m8 ....
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] blakmazk:
Just one problem... my n2 looses serial no. Everytime i flash a new rom dont know why.... and i have to use a patch called Ariza patch which worked everytime but with the new modem the patch makes imei null... so is there a solution ? Or if i can use the new base with the old modem? If so , can u provide me with a flashable zip of the old modem please... or is there a way to skip the installation of the new modem?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
Mate. Why do you want to skip modem installation? With XXDMG1 kernel and DDDMG1 modem you should be fine.

However if you use old modems, then you loose iemi.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] blakmazk:
as i said that whenever i flash new modem wether its old or new i loose my serail no. Not the IMEI, and i used to get rid of the serial no. Issue by using an app called Ariza patch which is found on xda, so whej i flashed the latest rom the modem also got updated and then when i used ariza patch it made my imei null... hope you can understand....
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
I am afraid this patch might be not compatible with dmg1 build.

I understand your situation... I am thinking how can i help. It is so far weird. Let me see it through

It was faster with v3.0

Any strange tweaks? Is normal?

It's not a big problem.. it's only one stupid issue..

Anyone has the same?

P.s. the 3.0 was about so fast.. max 50ms to go to the home

Oh.. if i press the BACK button, it works istantly.. si.. with home, 300ms of lag, with back, 50ms...

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
Did you check md5?

If matching, reflash the rom no wipe, choose simplistic if you want. I am afraid your systemui is not correct due to bad flash. Try and report back.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] firasusman:
52%......
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Bn Waheed:
sorry wesam but can you tell me what is md5 ? *noob* :(
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
No problem man. We are here to help.

When you downloaded this rom, it is named as: swift_v1.0_XXDMC3_MD5_(VALUE)

This value is the md5 of this zip package.

Try to memorize the last 4 characters of it.

Now open root explorer or astro or es file explorer.

Go to the directory where you downloaed or put the rom in your phone.

Find the file, long press on it, select properties.

Click or calculate md5

It takes a while.

Then the result value should be the same as the VALUE in the rom name.

I hope i explained well. If you need further help, pm me or pm firasusman.

Good luck man :)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] roxanna118:
Jepp, the md5 is correct.

Checked with root explorer.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
Good :)

And how is the rom with you? ;)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] roxanna118:
But still no way here for me to reactivate the status bar...... :(

No with touchwiz or with next launcher 3d......

You should try assasin rom from this guys....

It's the best rom ever.

No joke
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] iba21:
I installed the rom first time.. booted it without any mods..

All ok.. reboot to recovery.. super wipe.. and after that, a new fresh installation (so with data and system wiped) with all mods (the stock launcher too), all taken from your post ;)

I could try to get a fresh new installation, but, or it's a launcher bug, or it's a firmware bug..

If you have the same lag, it's ok..

P.s. could you send me the original launcher file from firmware? Don't want to download all the firmware for 8mb of file :P

Many thanks
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
Ok. I will upload the original launcher from the firmware for you
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] iba21:
Many thanksss ;D

P.s. need a kitchen to extract files from the firmware or it's sufficiently a file manager extractor (like 7z or rar)?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
Yes, you need a kitchen of course. And linux reader to mount and read the system.img

By default, they are odexed. so you need to deodex the apks.

Anyway,

Here are flashable zips for your:

1) Original Launcher if your are on Stock Framework.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/65414192/TEMP/SecLauncher2-Original-CWM.zip

2) Simplistic Launcher if you are using Simplistic Framework.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/65414192/TEMP/SecLauncher2-Simplistic-CWM.zip

Good luck my friend :)

Yeah, one more thing, do cache and dalvik wipes to start fresh. :)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] iba21:
Always too fast :D

EDIT: the stock launcher in your mod in the other thread is different than this one you post me..

Only a free information.. i test those by md5 values ;)

Btw many thanks for ALL.. i'll test with stock original launcher
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Yannn:
My problem persists !

I can't get more than 5 rows in the launcher ...

I use the simplistic framework ... With V3.0 I could get 6 rows...

Help
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] iba21:
Flashed.. dont see any difference.. :what:

Anyway now i have the real stock launcher :p

Probably it's a bug in framework.jar and co.. those are the files witch choses all settings about phisical buttons..

I edited it 1 year ago to reduct the time to hold home screen press

Edit: nevermind, it's all ok right this.. radio seems quitely better, and power consuption is reducted.. but.. i have a chip rev 2.. and i could use a lower voltage with a better body bias gap with rbb at hiter freqs than a rev1.. so.. less current leakage in the mosfet.. it means less power dissipation to have stability ;))
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
Try the cwm flashable zip I posted above for sf.

If it is the same, then it is how the new sf 3.6 is.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] iba21:
Oh.. one good thing of the g1 version.. the screen on lag is reducted.. with older version it needs about 1 second to turn on the screen after ghe power press.. now is quitely istant! :D

You bet :)
