Truth, I was having the group mms issue on and off wifi. I haven't tested plain old mms over wifi yet but I will test now. Will edit with a response shortly.

Edit: mms over wifi works just fine. Picture went through to my wife's s2 with no issues at all.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] vouty:
Sure, be glad to help. But can you give a quick "how-to" on outputting the logcat? Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kenbals:
Is it just me but after update I cant click off the bluetooth in pulldown?

My Note 2 is Tweaked!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] rickm8384:
Works fine over here.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] edshawn911:
Hey guys can anyone tell me what are the steps with this ROM when just flashing updates. Also if someone could offer an opinion about which kernel is better for this ROM. Pbj or trinity or stock? I want good battery but I also need a little snap to the ROM.. Thanks in advance..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
While it may be a bit less than quick, you should check out

this

and more specifically

this part

as it has loads of info for the approach that is a bit more work up front but imo far easier in the long run...

Other options include running a command similar to this in terminal emulator after the force close happens:

logcat -d > /sdcard/log.txt

That will generate a file on your internal sdcard that you can then send my way :)

There are also a multitude of apps that you could use, though I know little on the ups/downs of those.

Does this can't click behavior survive a reboot?

Flash the update as-is - you don't need to do anything special for it. As far as kernels are concerned - my advice is to try them all (including those not in the install package and instead are scattered about the xda forums here) as this decision is pretty user-dependent (and to some extent user-phone-dependent).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] edshawn911:
Thanks!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Double0EK:
Sorry to sound noobish.

I already flashed via the Advanced Method (2.3) about a week ago but, o erased some of the files I dl'ed. I cant seem to find the Advanced Approach Download. .. and I forgot where I found it the first time as I cant find it in the OP.. Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
UPDATE: Thanks to the kindness of AkaTheMacDaddy and approximately 20 of his contacts, we (and by we I mean he) tested a number of scenarios involving group messaging using network, wifi, and wifi + wifi calling + data off. I will keep poking around, but results at this point seem to indicate the issue resides somewhere beyond my current skillset. There were times he got the same network error you had, and (outside of moving to a different room in the house) other times where it worked just fine - and it didn't matter how he was connected. Just wanted to keep you posted, even though the news isn't the greatest...

No worries - it's under main downloads in post #4 (I think). It's hidden in a spoiler tag, which sometimes don't show for folks when viewed via apps and what not.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] rickm8384:
First off thank you so much just for even trying to sort the issue. Does it look like this is a carrier side issue or just buried deep in the rom too far for you to be able to get at? Are there other developers around who you think would be able to handle? I ask because I would even be willing to pay someone (though not much because I'm a poor dude) to help fix this.... It's really the last thing that seperate us (android) from them (appleheads) and I'd love to see it solved!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Double0EK:
Yup, that was it. Tapatalk wasnt showing all of the download links. Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
I'm no expert by any means, but at this point it seems more a carrier side issue than anything else - but that's not to say the carrier side issue is resulting from something coming out of the rom flagging it in some way that I am unaware of to cause the seemingly random wonkiness. I'm decent at tracking down the consistently repeatable sorts of bugs/behavior, but things like this are a class of their own, and one I'm not part of lol. As far as others trying to help with this - I can't think of anyone off the top of my head, but I really don't know many people to be honest. You could always ask around, but considering there are few if any sgs4 mms ports for note2 (I haven't seen any, which also supports the idea that perhaps I've missed something in the porting process that I am not aware of currently - hmm...) I'm not sure who to even ask. If this problem doesn't exist on the T-Mobile SGS4 then I am likely missing something... but even so the question still remains as to why the random feel to when it works and when it doesn't. I wish I knew more, but I don't unfortunately.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kal-El7:
I'm sorry if I missed something, but I have a question.

The APN settings in version 2.4.1. In the 'Network Mode' I disabled LTE and elected to only use HSPA+. In the same regard, I went into the APN section to switch from the LTE apn back to the tethering apn that's listed there (epc-tmobile.com). When I select this, it quickly switches back to the LTE option.

Why? It never, ever, ever did this before on version 2.4. Not sure if that's relevant or not.

The only thing I did different was change the default baseband that came with the ROM (uvbmb4) to the current modem of (uvbmd1).

Is there something I'm missing here as to why the tethering apn keeps going back to the LTE apn?

Thanks so much.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] rickm8384:
I can confirm that what Kal-El7 said is indeed happening on mine as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Hmm - well, there is no reason this should behave differently between 2.4 and 2.4.1, as like I said there were only 3 files that were modified (fixing services.jar bootloop issue, classes.dex for SecMms, and busybox) - none of which would relate to such odd behavior. Are you absolutely certain it behaved this way on 2.4?

A possible workaround - just make a new apn. I think part of the reason there are issues is the information in the tethering apn is incomplete. I noticed the same behavior when I tried to copy all the fields from the tethering apn into a new apn - but once I started filling in some of the values that were in the main lte apn the new apn stuck, no switching. I am unsure of how I can make such a thing a default addition.

In fact - taking it a step further - if I filled in the missing values in the tethering apn (copying over the mmsc values from the lte one as well as the apn type info), I was able to select that apn and all was well. I think there may be a way I can at least add that stuff in... I'll look into it :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kal-El7:
lol....in previous builds I had this apn auto-switching did not happen. I used to tether off of it. Maybe I'm missing something. But as for this current build now I can at least try to attempt the things you've recommended.

I'm gonna look.

Also, the LTE apn is supposed to be IPV4/IPV6, right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Yessir it should be - and keep me posted. I'm digging around to see if I can default-set some of these things, but it's messy and convoluted so I have my doubts as to whether I'll be able to figure it out...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] santana00:
This Rom is one of these best roms for the note 2. The only issue I have is when I try to use certain apps like the nfl fantasy app the screen becomes unresponsive. Even when I try to access the mobile version of nfl fantasy via Google Chrome, xscope browser, or the opera browser I get the same result. But when I flash the jedi Rom everything works perfect. Is there a fix I can do to solve this issue. I did a full wipe and reflashed the Rom multiple times.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] markusf21:
I fixed my playstore issue by dirty flashing the whole rom. Sorry I didn't get a chance to get you a logcat

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
It could be a kernel issue - what kernel are you using? Have you tried it on tweaked w/ the same kernel that comes w/ jedi?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] santana00:
I was using the saber kernel and no I haven't tried that. I thought jedi run the saber kernel as well tho
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kal-El7:
EDIT: I did a big fat typo. I'm very sleepy. lol.....I'm so sorry. I meant to say that version 2.3 I was able to maintain the Tether APN with no issues.

I remember once tethering for a while. On version 2.4, let me clear, I have NOT attempted tethering until I tried tethering yesterday by attempting to switch to the Tethering APN. I was trying to mimic earlier behaviors from previous builds, I believe 2.3, if memory serves right. Also, when I tapped on the LTE APN option just to take a quick glance at the APN settings, under APN Protocol it only said IPV4. Is this intended?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Yeah it does - though it might be a different version as he tends to update his standalone-kernel installs a bit slower than the included-in-the-rom-kernels. Was this X or Master? I'm unsure what would be going on... perhaps a logcat would be useful?

Ah - ok that makes more sense. I did do some small changes that apparently force you to edit things now... interesting. Not really sure what to make of that at the moment...

Also, the IPV4 thing is not intended by me necessarily - it seems this is a default value that is put in. I am thoroughly at a loss for how one "inserts" a number of default values/settings for these, so it was not by my design anyway - nor do I really know enough to have a design for this stuff lol. As much as I would like to make it easy and just stick happy defaults in, currently it seems self-editing is what needs to happen - if anyone stumbles on to any info for how such things could be done I would be greatly appreciative!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] santana00:
Its master. And far as log cat it didibt foecr close the screen was just unresponsive. Try accessing this site nfl fantasy football site from ur mobile phone and see if it works.

http://m.fantasy.nfl.com

After I logged in my screen didn't work like it wasn't responding just on that Web page
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] SiNJiN76:
Has the increasing alarm been removed? If so, any way to put it back?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Well I'm using the stock kernel at the moment and I was able to go to the site, register a new account, log in, log out, then log back in without screen-freeze issues. I did notice that (in Chrome anyway) the left-menu bought out by pressing the three-line button in the upper left - I needed to long-press the links in that menu (like for signing in/out, etc.) and have them open in another tab in order for them to actually do anything... otherwise I would just click them and nothing would happen (but the screen was still responsive).

Increasing alarm? Do you mean the quiet-to-loud ring when you get a call?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] santana00:
Oh that's what I meant I apologize for the confusion. Even the official nfl fantasy app that's in the market does the same thing. But I'm currently running the jedi Rom and for some odd reason it works without a problem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Ok - so you meant clickable links/buttons weren't being followed? And this happens w/ other apps as well? Huh - that last part is throwing me... I can think of no reason that a freshly downloaded from the playstore app would behave differently between the two roms given that they are on the same kernel (this assumes of course you were testing on the same kernel, but this might be a moot point as I experienced what you were referring to on the stock kernel as well) and are both based on the same underlying stock build. Do the apps behave as they should on a plain old unmodified stock setup? This is a sort of underlying functionality discrepancy that I am not sure how I would have screwed up something, but either I screwed up something or ptmr fixed something that was already there and screwed up (knowing if these work on unmodified stock would answer the last question).

Apologies for the frustrations - believe me I feel them as well (perhaps more so in fact) - but these last few bugs all seem to be quite beyond me... Makes me think I should start the whole thing over and see where I messed things up along the way... ugh.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] goater1220:
I'm having gps issues is anyone else having the same problems and how do I fix it? Thanks in advance! !!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] santana00:
Yea if u go install the nfl app from the market you will see it does the same thing. But I don't have that problem on the jedi master Rom. And it's no biggie at all. You don't have to spend ur time on this minor problem. I just play a lot of fantasy football so I use the app a lot during football season. I just flashed a different Rom to fix the problem it's no biggie. I appreciate the fast response and all your help. You're one if the best
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
Hey buddy of it helps I just tested the nfl app on my ROM (which is much more stock) with a stock kernel and it didn't work right either. So it must be ptmr3 fixed something. On a side note that app is pure garbage anyways.

To the guy with the problem what you can do is use the stock browser and set a shortcut on your home screen to the nfl login page. Same thing add an app basically
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] santana00:
Its does the same thing in the browser
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] photrash:
Could it be the hosts file for ad blocking causing this issue?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Hmm... maybe, but no such thing runs on mine anyway and I still had the issue. Thanks for helping brainstorm though - feel free to keep it up! :)

Hehe... :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] chrisa887:
Have a question for you Dwitherell, could you add or make a flashable zip of the black Berry z10 lock screen:)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] SiNJiN76:
The alarm. It used to start very softly and then slowly increase. Now it just blasts off. I liked the subtle wake up.

Or, am I out of my mind? Ha ha
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] rickm8384:
That is an option in the touch wiz clock. Did you maybe install AOSP clock instead and set your alarm using that?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Coug76:
I hate to be a pest but does anyone have a mirror for the Basic Approach Prepare installer? The host server seems to be unresponsive to both my PC and two android devices.

Never mind, I finally got it to do on my pc.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] homerxd:
Not an issue but an observation. When I install sgs4 mms app and want to go back to stock mms app using modificationer...I can't. Stock mms app doesn't start, in logcat it says, can't downgrade database from 62 to 60.

Any work around other than wiping phone?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] SiNJiN76:
No. Is TW. I even set the 3 minute thing on it. Well, I guess this is a specific issue on my end so, I'll deal with it (try a fresh install).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] xamindar:
But your rom comes with the host file ad blocking set up. You don't use that? As an example, I need to clear out the hosts file when I install this rom or the slickdeals app is unable to follow links because they are all blocked.

Could be worth a shot to replace the default hosts file as a test.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Hmm... well I know why it happened, I just thought I made it not happen... thanks for pointing that out, I'll get it fixed in the modificatinator.

In the meantime (fyi this will erase all of your text messages - needs to happen though unfortunately), if you use an app like root explorer or the like you need to delete the following three files from /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/ -

mmssms.db

mmssms.db-shm

mmssms.db-wal

Then reboot your phone and all should be happy again. I'll look into why the modificatinator is misbehaving.

Wow... just... wow. I COMPLETELY forgot I messed around w/ any of the hosts stuff (holy old file lol) - but yeah, I even kept the stock hosts file in there as I was figuring I was going to remove it after experimenting (hosts.orig) but I completely spaced on that. Idiot am I - and thank you for pointing that out!

And yes - that seems to be what the issue was. Everyone seriously thank xamindar and photrash - I was slowly going crazy with I-don't-get-it bugs being reported and I now feel a little more sane :)

So santana00 (and anyone really) - if you encounter this issue all you need to do is - using something like root explorer - make system rw and delete/rename /system/etc/hosts and then rename /system/etc/hosts.orig to /system/etc/hosts - all should be well then. Thanks again xamindar and photrash!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] slice2011:
Dumb question atleast it isnt for my level of knowledge when it comes to kernels etc, so be easy :).. I see an option for trinity kernel, it is 128 megs, we flash that or it is the source and has to be compiled if that is even a correct way to state?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Warrior1975:
I'm not sure what you are referring to, the basic install zip or modifinicator? Or trinity kernel you found elsewhere? If its one of the first two, just flash it.

I got the nfl fantasy app to work, all I did was install the database optimizer in the aroma. Now everything works perfect
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] slice2011:
This thread, op on different available kernels for our device, pbj and trinity, in the 1st post and a link to both, trinity link takes you to a dl zip file but it is 128megs, never have seen a flashable kernel that large and is why I asked do we flash that file or is just source files? I have trinity using the ext2 mod but wanted to experiment with different setups using this kernel.

Please, excuse me, I'm a neophyte about all this kind of stuff.UOTE=dwitherell;44147928]Did you opt for the samsung apps in the basic install? If not, try to get them back via the modificatinator - and let me know if that works (or if you've already tried that and it's still not working).[/QUOTE]

First of all, thank you for your help.

Yes I did.

I need a letter more help in order to understand you suggestion"try to get them back via the modificatinator".

What does the modificatinator is?. Please excuse me becouse I'm a neophyte about all this stuff.

Once again, thank you for you amazing ROM THE BEST I have trying so far.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] AngryDinosaur:
Aminalmo has a supercharger script. Os that like universal or specifically buikt for his alliance tweaks rom?

And also I cant make a selection for apn, it will jump back to the lte one and wont stick with the tether one

---------- Post added at 11:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:52 AM ----------

The modificationator is under the "other downloads spoiler tag" view it as a desktop site so all links will show up

Download the versoin that matches the version rom you are on

Then flash it using twrp or cwm recovery, in there you can install/remove/do nothing with a certain app

So use the modificationator to install samsung apps

You will not need to reflash the whole rom if you are using the modificationator
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Not a dumb question - what you see there are the source files for morfics kernel - NOT the flashable already-compiled version.

You need to flash the basic installer first to disable the assert checks, then do the main install. Check the OP, theres even a handy video about it :)

Nothing special about flashing them, and no need to wipe anything.

Hmm... perhaps verify in Settings > About device what you are connected to...? The method just replicates the aosp method for what type to show, though I have not done any international testing (don't leave the country much). Also, this just replaces the TMo method - if on a different network it may ignore my edits.

Scripts like that tend to be universal but ymmv, so tread cautiosly. The APN thing was discussed a few pages back - you need to fill in the mmsc and apntype values (replicate the lte ones) to make it stick. I may just try to delete that altogether to force the need-to-make-a-new-apn idea (basically replicate the lte one with a different apn - the epc one).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] AG0087:
I need some help on this one. For instance.. I want to make a change on the main ROM.. It's the sound, for some reason my speaker sounds a little on the bad side so I want choose a lower volume.. Do I use the modificator to make this change? Thanks in advanced. Loving this rom
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kozmo21:
If you checked max, high or mild in volume hack during install, you can go back and use modificatinator and check "do nothing" and it will remove the boost.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
I think of you check do nothing it will keep your current settings. I think he would need to check "no bosst"
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kozmo21:
Thought the only options were... max. high, mild and do nothing? The "do nothing" would revert to stock? Maybe??? Haven't had to use it, so not sure?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kal-El7:
I was gonna ask about the modem right quick. Is it preferable to keep the modem that comes in the ROM, being that it's UVBMB4 instead of UVBMD1?

---------- Post added at 12:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:59 AM ----------

I was wondering the same thing. If you elect for a max boost, that becomes your new "normal" settings to the point that if you re-flash the modificatinator for any reason and arrive to the audio boost option and select "do nothing"...will that sustain the new "normal" of the max setting previously applied?

I believe that's the question being asked by kozmo21, correct?

I didn't see if there was a no boost option. I'd have to go back and see again.
