Yeah my bad, I haven't kept up with the Note 2 developments like I used to. But if I recall properly they do make tempering with the bootloader much more difficult, and something tells me that that restricted bootloader is not all that innocent.

Also, isn't the 4.3 Samsung update introducing restrictions on foreign SIM use?

Either way, I won't be upgrading to 4.3 until it has been established what all the "upgrades" are. I'm much more suspicious of anything done to our phones since Samsung became a DOD development partner... Not that I care all that much but for me it is a question of basic human rights principle.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] its_ja10:
dwitherell,

you have me spoiled. I flashed both the 4.3 roms that came out (swarm and jedi) and guess what, i'm now back to tweaked 2.5. now patiently waiting for your new tweaked (no rush). I'd rather wait 2-3 months and have a quality rom than have a rom that requires battery pull every 2 hours. well done sir, well done. :good::good::good::good::good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
Calling it locked just bothers me, but nut a big deal. I think it's flashbacks to Verizon and hoping adamoutler can outsmart Verizon and their truly locked bootloader one again with each update

4.3 Please!!!!!!!!

To the developer of this ROM

Hello!!!!! I would first like to say that I am in love with your Tweaked ROM. Swear to God, I've tried all Roms for my Note 2 but nothing came close to what you offered and I've loved it since day one of flashing it. So thank you and keep up the good work. Now as a request, since the Tmo Note 2 has gone 4.3, can you please update the Tweaked ROM to 4.3? I'd appreciate it. Thank you!!!!! :laugh::laugh::laugh:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Thanks for the kind words :)

For better or worse my particular process is not a timely one. I had this phone for nearly two months before I first posted anything, and I started working on things the day I got the phone :) The Note 3 is no different - I have yet to (officially) post anything there, yet I've had the phone since October (although to be fair, I'm trying to bring the current level of modding to the note3... things were not as far along when I first posted the note2 rom back at the beginning of the year as they are now). My current plan is to - as promised - update this to the new 4.3 base, but not until I finish my Note 3 project. This is in part because I can't multitask very well (I don't know how people work on multiple phones - SO much to keep up on!), and in part for the fact that most of the work I do for the note 3 (which is 4.3) will aid in updating the note 2. Much like any OS change, there is much to be reworked given what my 4.1.2 tinkering has become, and new things to toy with everyday (I am easily distracted). I am hopeful to be done with the note 3 before the end of the year, and then turn my attention back to the note 2. It will take time - far longer I imagine than most others, and while I wish it wasn't the case, when it comes down to it I'm just not as good/quick/available (in terms of free time) as others are in terms of updating things. Thankfully though others are and have already started posting things - I know my delays are not looked on all that fondly (how could they be really) but I try to be honest and open about them (small consolation I know, but still).

Yea. Takes a while to port 4.2-4.3. They moved everything. lol I did a 4.2 S4 theme blind with no device and it was a PITA. Had to diff thousands of files. :p:cool:

+1 simple like that.

I don't need to choose my next phone. I will just move to the phone this guy will be developing.

I, too, am back on Tweaked 2.5 the 4.3 Roms offered an OS update but lacked the features I loved in Tweaked. I will wait patiently till a new base build comes along... keep up the hard work! Donation will come after the holidays (broke AF with 2 kids ... haha)...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] loaferkan:
lucky for you, I'm stocked with 4.3 I guess since I had flashed it via kies air? I just flashed the note 2 again with another rooted stock rom, removed most of the junk, and as well used exposed installer and other tweaked apps to get it going....Now looking for air command etc to update it,

I think, I'll wait for tweaked 2.5 to get updated to tweaked 4.3 or something....until then, I'll just play my own little Dev thing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Double0EK:
I've never rushed into updating to the new OS. This was ever since I used to tinker with my old Moto Cliq (which still runs like a champ) just for the fact that you never know what you might not like..always wait for some other users experience.

(All share cast dangle)

Wanted to post this just in case someone out there is wondering as I was. This rom is rock solid obviously, but if your wondering if it works with your Dongle, it does. But, You must have stock kernel and use chainfires triangle away to get your status to "official" and flash counter to "0". After you have flashed the rom and any other mods, ie themes etc. Alexia and forever locos theme look and work flawless with this rom. Lastly you can also have a custom recovery installed *I have Twrp* installed and dongle will still work again, must use triangle away after flashing any mods. Hope this helps. Thanks Dwith for this amazing rom! I'm sure 4.3 is going to be sick!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Hi folks -

Yes, sometimes silences can make one uneasy :) Now I haven't officially switched gears yet, but I literally JUST finished an initial Note3 post... so I'm guessing I'll start looking here before too long. Now my plan is to try and bring over most of the hard coded stuff in this rom to it's 4.3 version, which will take some time. What will take even more time is figuring out the stuff everyone really wants - note 3 features. There are some that have figured things out but they are a bit protective (no shame in being protective of your hard work really) of their methods so I'll have to go about it from scratch... this is another way of saying it will be INCREDIBLY time consuming (though from a selfish perspective rather enjoyable). I just want to make sure I'm open/honest about the timing realities that come from my tinkering :)

I hope all had a pleasant holiday and will have a happy new year!

Well nvm I only owe 170 on it....might as well pay it off...sell it and then i can get the upgrade no problem and make money....hmmm not sure i can do both immediately...lol....:good:

Might be seeing tweaked on the note 3 before i thought I would....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] luv4greenleaves:
I would be really happy with non note 3 feature ROM. Seriously I've used my pen probably 2 times the whole time I've had my note. If you release what you have released for the Note 3, I would be happier than a fat man at a buffet!

Please don't let note 3 features keep you from releasing a note 2 4.3 rom.

Ok - well I'll concentrate on the core stuff first then before tackling n3 stuff :) Thanks for the feedback!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sino8r:
Looking forward to the themed and customized parts. We're really lacking it on 4.3 ROMs so far although I get they're all new. I'm afraid too many folks have left for the N3. I hope I'm wrong. Either way... Can't wait for Tweaked!:silly:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] luv4greenleaves:
Note 3, in my personal opinion, is totally not worth the money if you have a 2. Seriously most of the "cool" features are already ported to the 2. I guess some people buy stuff becuase they can.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] loaferkan:
I love my NOTE 2, and will even skip note 4...esp the Devs here if they keep on pushing it....I remember the HTC HD2 which lasted forever....I mean...Note2 and Note3=the same, unless you need to know the temp or IR remote thing I guess? I hate samsung now, I would never buy its product anymore....why can't they push the update to the older products? I mean IPHONE 101 and Iphone 5.0 is the same....I never used it but I think there is not much difference because their software updates to all?

---------- Post added at 09:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:27 AM ----------

hey dwitherell, don't worry take your time...anyways you can get the air command out of note 3, I think that is the major point? there is a Div at the international note 2, I can't remember his name, his name is Dr something...he has made a rom, OMG that is hot, total note 3 on note 2....can you share some magic with us here too?

thanks.

---------- Post added at 09:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:29 AM ----------

I think it's a total shame that someone wouldn't want to share their secrets...honestly xda is all about learning and sharing....God, everyone is given credits, so why are they so stingy about it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
You may be onto something there. The only way I'Il have the N3 I want is to get the Developer Edition. $699 would be a big chunk out of my budget. I think our main man Dwith is going to come up with an awesome 4.3 rom for us. Yeah the N3 is more powerful but the N2 is powerful enough in my opinion. I might just stick with what I have.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Well to be fair what I was presenting was a worst case scenario - I have yet to attempt to reach out for help/info from those responsible, so perhaps things will be made a bit easier after asking for info/permission from them. I just haven't reached out yet and wanted to be respectful of their requests. I also work better assuming the worst and being either semi-prepared for it (at least mentally) or pleasantly surprised :)

Tbh were it not for the generosity of folks in this very forum, I would not have a note 3 myself. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to have it, but I agree that - imo - it's not enough of an upgrade to warrant/justify the financial investment required to obtain one. I'm thankful I did get one though, as I had to redo SO MUCH of my tinkering to get it to behave on the 4.3 base that it will absolutely speed things along for me on the note 2 :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ducter:
Honestly, I dont run TW based ROMs normally but have been running the sky air n3 version and actually find myself enjoying it. I think its because of the n3 mods that I have been using it again. It has a bit of lag occasionally and things do load a bit slower compared to AOSP based ROMs but hell, I figure I have a s pen, might as well use it and its really not to bad.

When I would run TW based it was mainly yours or wildchld when he was releasing them. Whatever you decide to release I am sure in time will be as stable/fast as your tweaked versions.

Still loving this rom. Thanks for the tips on autocorrect.

Also, anyone know of a working mod to fix the network notification in the status bar so it will actually tell you which network you are on? Im not a fan or tmobile lying to me ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] EfoK:
Thanks a lot. You saved me hours. I thought it was the kernel but was timid to switch, So far the King and Saber kernels work with exFAT 32. Of course so is the stock kernel. The problems was from trinity by Morfic kernel. I believe this should be looked into. Overall this is a very nice ROM.

Thanks again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Is this the show-H-instead-of-4g thing? I could try to take a peek - but any reference anyone might have for either a mod or a TW-base that does this could possibly speed things along. I have a hunch what is going on though, especially if it behaves on aosp setups (does it?).

Yeah I've heard the situation occurs on a number of custom kernels - glad it was an easy fix for you though :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] deeznutz1977:
Yes sir.Aosp does . I asked about a mod awhile back but was told it was way harder than that...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] xamindar:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] limpysmalls:
So out of the blue my phone will not boot past the Samsung Galaxy Note II screen. I have not flashed a new ROM or made any changes since Tweaked 2.0 came out. I wanted to flash the 0% transparency so I could cheat at Word Feud against my wife again. I downloaded the zip and used the power menu to restart in recovery. The phone rebooted correctly but recovery never came up, it just is stuck in this boot loop. Very strange.

I am downloading the factory image to flash through Odin if it does not start working again. I can get it to go into download mode.

Before I lose a bunch of stuff, haven't backed up in a few weeks. Does anyone have any thoughts on what happened and how to fix.

:confused:

I can't flash that 0 transparency patch, it says "failed" in bloody red in TWRP 2.5.0.0.

That is definitely odd - are you using a custom kernel? Is it possible you selected hotboot as opposed to recovery? Have you tried to pull the battery and then boot up the phone like normal? Keep me posted on this - hope it all works out!

Lock screen flash light (torch) toggle by long pressing home

EDIT: I found the setting in TSM Parts and it was named (of course) Lockscreen flashlight! I thought I went through each option in the settings before reflashing the rom, but my stupid eyes couldn't find the obvious. Sorry to bother you guys.

I am not sure if the problem I have is related to this rom, but I'll ask anyway.

I used to be able to toggle my flash light on and off on lock screen by just long pressing the home key. That was a great feature. Then a few weeks ago, it stopped working suddenly, and at the same time, the status bar flash light toggle stopped working, too.

I was glad to find your post about solving the status bar toggle problem by reflashing. I finally did reflash a few days ago and the status bar toggle now works fine. But the lock screen toggle still doesn't work. I don't even know if the lock screen toggle is specific to this rom or not.

Can anyone explain what is going on?

Thanks.

I prowl the Tmo n2 forum pretty much daily. I read about the teething pains in the 4.3 threads and weigh them against the benefits. I end up staying here where the water is fine and the drama can be watched from afar.

I've played on the bleeding edge with my last phone. While it was definitely an adventure and a lot of fun, I feel pretty happy here where everything is functional (including predictable wifi tethering), stable, and chill. I may change my mind at any time.

YMMV.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] MikeySmikey:
I'm with you, this is my last Samsung phone. Sammy is headed the direction of Apple and locking down more and more with every update. I'm still undecided on who will get my money next time but Oppo looks promising.

In regards to this rom and moving to 4.3, I ran Tweaked for months on end without a single issue and decided to move to JediMaster X2 a couple days ago. I can't complain. Battery life is what it is and will always be great on the N2, unless of course you're doing something either crazy or stupid with your phone. Jedi is pretty solid but lacks a few features that would be nice to have. Regardless, it's a good daily driver. My advice for someone new to the N2: flash Tweaked and be happy, it has all you'll ever need.

It does seem to be a bit of a mixed back for opinions on this one - but I'm still gunna give it a shot. I'm still finishing some things on the note3 that will be important for the note2 as well (I forgot about the navbar on/off stuff, and I hadn't hammered out the statusbar/notification coloring option stuff yet), but once I have TSM officially completed to what I originally intended it to be I'll be changing gears back over here. To be honest my note2 still is running Tweaked... haven't even thought about updating yet. I may just throw caution to the wind and regular-update, knowing full well that it means no more 4.1.2 for me. We shall see...

Yeah, sorry about this everyone. The server I have been using for the last year or so is no longer accessible (this was unexpected - apologies all), so I have to dig up some files and figure out what I want to do for server space, then get to uploading things again... sorry for the troubles!
