2.5

Hello, I wanna try the 2 5 but this irc thing doesn't let me. I don't have a computer and in dire need of a update. I'm on 2.4.1 and I've had weird blue system crashes almost like when windows crashes in pc. I tried some irc apps but I still can't get on freenode. Only source of Internet is my phon. Is there a direct link I can download it from?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
What boot animation did you choose? I'm away from my computer atm - I'll PM you a link later today (PM me if I forget lol), but the version already uploaded will change just a little at some point in the next day or so... just as an fyi :)

Also, thanks to all for the multiwindow feedback! I think I'll just push forward and add a blip in the FAQ about possible culprits/solutions if experienced. To support the current thinking, I have had no issues and I don't have any xposed stuff installed, so signs point to an unhappy interaction there for sure. You guys rock, and keep me posted if any further discoveries are made on the issue!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Magnumxxxl:
None, I did use the modificator zip to change sms apps. After the last one my stock tmo boot animation change to that all black blue android animation back in early android. I got these errors I've never seen before.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Ah - ok, what you are seeing is the BIOS boot animation (an optional boot animation you can pick at install/via modificatinator) - there is no error there as that is what the animation is supposed to look like. Do you only see this when you first turn on the phone or after reboot? If not and it just suddenly happens, then there is an issue and I'll need more info on what triggers it or when you tend to notice it happens.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Magnumxxxl:
Yes it does it every time I reboot and it also does it at random times. It self reboots occasionally. It started acting weird since I flashed the new saber kernel since it now supports 64gb sdcards and after I flashed the kernel I flashed the modificator. I put on animation do nothing. I like my phone with a complete stock look. I don't flash themes or non of that. I did have persues before saber. I have a separate issue which it has happened for a few weeks already. I play ingress, when submitting portals I always get a email back from Google notifying me about they received it and will let me know if they will grant my portal request. In the beginning I was able to do it. But now all of a sudden I can't, I don't get emails back and waited for a month but my portals submissions never went through. I did a backup and flash different roms and I was able to submit portals and google/Niantic gave me email back. I have absolutely have no idea why this rom doesn't let me submit them successfully? I love this rom a lot lol, I don't plan on leaving it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
I was able to get in the chat room using the Firefox mobile browser. I didn't try to download anything though. I never could with Chrome. Firefox must support a net protocol that Chrome doesn't.

I set up the xposed framework and tried the floating windows thing. It worked but I got constant FC's. I wasn't happy with the floating windows anyway. Even a GN2 screen isn't big enough to make it worthwhile. Maybe I did something wrong. I don't know. Anyway I had to restore my backup to get my phone back. I decided not to try xposed again. I like my phone the way it is.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Hmm... well a couple things-

The do nothing option for boot animations just means it won't make any changes to what is already there - you'll need to pick the stock option to have it revert back to the TMo stock boot animation.

Random reboots are not a good thing - in order to isolate it to the new saber kernel I'd recommend flashing the stock kernel to see if the reboots stop.

I have no clue why the ingress game would misbehave on the rom. Do others play that game while using Tweaked? Perhaps those using it might be able to chime in on it, as I've never tried/used that game.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] xamindar:
Ingress works perfectly on this rom. Your issues are not caused by the rom.

Forgive me for sounding a little annoyed but I am getting sick of people mistaking the fake error boot animation for a real error. You guys specifically choose to install that animation and then you act all confused when you see it. I don't get it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] deeznutz1977:
Lol for the boot animation I've seen many people freeking out about a virus/ fatal error :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Double0EK:
Lmao about the BIOS BootAnimation.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Squilchi:
Dig the bios boot animation haha it was obvious to me that it wasn't a real error. Just read it..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] AngryDinosaur:
Itsbone awesome sauce of a boot animation, I'm gonna troll my roommate with it when school starts on Monday ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Steve Lazarus:
I'll be honest, first time I seen it, got a little worried ... :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] rickm8384:
Same here. I actually switched back to stock because I kept freaking out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] AngryDinosaur:
But please don't remove the BIOS boot animation or modifiy it, but a disclaimer might be good ;) just saying
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] prdog1:
That bootani has been around and available for years. :cool:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ttabbal:
The random reboots are likely caused by saber. They do a default UV and not every phone will handle it. I use an older version of it that doesn't do that, my phone won't run the newer ones, random reboots and sleep-of-death. As for ingress, I can't think of anything rom related that would cause issues with it. They just use the Gmail client to send the emails. Try clean flashing and don't restore any backups. If that works, you know it's bad data somewhere.

As for 64gb sdcards, what you really mean is exfat. I run a 64gb sd just fine on the older version. The difference is that I use ext4 on the sd.

Never mind goo manager was messing with me giving me false hope.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] luv4greenleaves:
I think the hangout app update doesn't let you video chat over mobile network anymore. Evertime I try to video call it tells me must connect to wifi. Can someone please confirm this is the same on your end?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] deeznutz1977:
When's the update from today mines from aug23. Play store says it's current and outs works over lte and h+
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] luv4greenleaves:
Not sure, I was out of town last few days, so when I got back to town it updated and now I can't connect video call over mobile network. I checked my wife's phone as well, and she can't connect over mobile network either... She is not rooted, pure stock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] goater1220:
Does anyone have problems with gps? It takes forever for mine to get locked on of it ever does. Can anyone help?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] luv4greenleaves:
No issues here
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kal-El7:
Oh

My GPS is fine in the car until I place the phone on my knee (just a few short inches downward from where I usually have it. Then at that point I lose GPS connection. Happens all the time. Then I have to move my phone up a little to get connected.

This happens while I'm obviously driving, to normal places that I normally go to. Don't know why GPS is weak for me when the phone is placed literally on my knee as I'm driving. Don't get it. Can't stand it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] prdog1:
Must be too close to the magneto in the moped. :p:laugh::cool:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Coug76:
Mine's good. Have you tried GPS Status and Toolbox? Clearing and re downloading agps data can help quite a bit. A reboot can sometimes help as well.

Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] upsmanraz:
Hey guys. Got a question. Im new to the whole Samsung thing as ive been an HTC guy for many years. First time also with using att phone on tmo. Rom installed fine except contacts keeps FC. Is this know before or should I post a logcat later? Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] chrisa887:
Think you might need your csc files from your stock rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Yeah it could be a csc thing, but I would very very very much like to see a logcat on this if at all possible :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] smartinez832:
dwitherell, would flashing saberkernel and voodoo sound be possible on this rom? I hope I don't break anything (I will have a nandroid backup just in case of course)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sino8r:
I use both with no issues...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] upsmanraz:
Ok so on the 3rd install, contacts isnt FC anymore, but it is very laggy when going from say the dialer to contacts. Dont know if this will tell you anything. I just saw alot of stuff about audio.

Edit: So how do I go about swapping the csc files? If I need a pc, it's gonna have to wait for my new usb port to show up.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] BACARDILIMON:
That is twice it has tricked me like this getting my hopes high..........

Been at work all day, was looking forward to the new update tonight.

FWIW, never had any reboot on Tweaked, not even once, this ROM is solid as a rock.

---------- Post added 30th April 2013 at 12:04 AM ---------- Previous post was 29th April 2013 at 11:59 PM ----------

Google now is a long press of the menu capacitive button anyway, so I don't see where the issue is...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Alexia Whitehurst:
Question for all your Tweakers...

Myself and dwitherell have been tossing around the idea of having a contest... This contest would be based on a theme... The winner would get their theme as an option in future Tweaked releases (aroma), and a prize (although we haven't decided on said prize yet)... I know there are a few themes in the works, mine for one... A white theme as well... But we thought this would be a fun way to get more folks involved...

I would figure a few weeks for theme creation

Ports of current themes will not be accepted for the contest

You do NOT need to be a season themer, myself and dwitherell are here to help!

Winner would be decided by myself and dwitherell... (Not that a vote isnt a good idea, but more often than not people try and cheat voting)'

We would need at least a few entries, maybe 4-6 before we can really say its a true contest...

So thats my question... Yay... Or GTFO Alexia, you crazy cracker woman...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
I like this idea. Should give us a couple nice options and maybe get a new super themer started
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
GTFO Alexia, I like the idea! :p Something like this would have been cool:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] gretschpr:
i vote for revert it back to zero :) i can just change it on camera settings but it auto reverts to -2 again...anyway, thanks for THE GREAT ROM!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] foreverloco:
Updated the Tweaked color add-on versions for my theme. Took care of the blue that was left over like the header text in the dialog pop ups. Since this is my DD and I don't see any reason why I would ever switch, I wanted to have them complete, but lets keep it on the down low because if not I'll probably get asked to do it for the rest of the versions and I don't really have time to keep up with all of them lol :p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] losplatanos:
with the camera things could be how it was on 1.5 everything worked fine back then :)

for me when i select auto contrast picture looks better, but now i have to select it almost every single time i take a pic because it dont stick
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] RTFOP:
I'm on stock unrooted mb4 and auto contrast doesn't stay on between camera use; if you exit, it turns off.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Yep this seems to be stock behavior unfortunately. I'll see if I can make it stop doing that, but at the very least I'll make the exposure default back to 0.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Alexia Whitehurst:
So to be clear you would like Morphology options in Tweaked Aroma?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
I would love to. Or something similar, so beside the ready-to-go themes it would be possible to create your own by picking different elements.

Thanks, my lady! ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Alexia Whitehurst:
I tend to not like that sort of deal... But i think more regular users might... So i will build something like Morphology into Tweaked... No problemo....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
I am as regular as it gets... You rock! I am already in love with you
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] beezie916:
Morphology would be very cool....it would truley make the ROM custom to the user....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bhowanidin:
Quick question: why does my wallpaper flash whenever I move between apps or open or close them? I know it has to do with the system-wide transparency options but I've tried all of them. Wallpaper flashes regardless and this is coming from a clean install.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jigglynuts:
I am running 75% transparent and that does not happen to me
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] e-motion:
Same here and I picked opaque. Quite annoying on some apps I might say. Example : camera if in 4:3, or most apps that don't fill the whole screen. Especially when using a live wallpaper, which I have always been fond of.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
It was discussed a bit a few pages back - yes it does have to do w/ the system-wide transparency options, but less so on what option you choose and more so on the under-the-hood stuff that lets those options behave the way they do. In order to have the system-wide transparency (or more practically the ability to see your wallpaper as the background most places) some flags had to be set to allow the wallpapers to be seen in places where normally it is not allowed. This is why you see a flash here or there during transitional moments. The bad news is this seems to be a necessary evil for any degree of system transparency - unless Alexia comes up with something that prevents such things from happening, but from what I remember she worked pretty hard at resolving it and found the current setup was the best case scenario. That being said - I agree that if you choose the fully opaque route it should not happen - it should behave like stock. I have yet to complete this, but the plan is to have the opaque option be truly opaque for the 2.1 update.

A little news on that - the camera will no longer have -2 as default exposure, BUT it will allow your exposure and autocontrast settings to "stick" and not reset with every opening of the app. Plus you will be able to access the camera xposed framework style while using a secure lock (+ swipe) now :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] e-motion:
You, Sir, are a true gentleman. You handle every criticism with full aplomb and are a rare asset to this community.

That said, I can't wait to get my opaque back and I would be even more delighted if I could get that all black theme we talked about quite a while ago, without any of that theme messing with the icons and what not : just the original Tweaked with everything inverted. I know you don't handle the theming, but themers are reading this thread obviously.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
*blushes* aww shucks :)

Anyhoo, given what Alexia said below, perhaps the bit I bolded above will inspire a few to take on just such a theme task :) I hope a few people take us up on this idea!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] damntarpon:
2.5 from irc X10 days and no problems. Stock kernel, no mods. Phone in a case, in my pack, inside a boat box and gps still spot on. Plus Internet radio using phone speaker for about an hour while eating lunch and plenty of battery left at bedtime. BRAVO!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] edshawn911:
I don't know how to use irc. How do I get my hands on 2.5?

Keep hearing people talk about it I want in. I don't even like touch wiz

But i keep going back to this rom. It seems like the best rom for

This note 2 phone. Just can't get the same sound and speed on aosp

Roms like i used to on my s3. Not a big choice of roms for this phone.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] prp2:
I'm sure dwitherell removed the files from there because they were leaked.

Yes, he asked for feedback on the 2.5 test builds, but they were posted on IRC and not here in the open because he didn't want it publicly released yet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] deeznutz1977:
Lol, i dont think thats why he said hes updating and mediafire is acting wonky

Edit: off topic but what do you guys think
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
I'm going to have one before too long. Mine will say Verizon though. I'm going to wait for the development community to get caught up though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] prdog1:
Good luck. It has Knox Software. Gonna be locked tighter than ever on Verizon. S4 first with Knox and still locked. probably blown Q-Fuse also. :cool:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
Hmmm. We'll see.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sino8r:
What a load of sh!t... I thought Samsung was trying to be developer friendly?! Ughhh... I hated encrypted bootlaoders and all that anti root crap. This is a huge turn off... I had no idea that the s4 was locked. Maybe I should do some reading before I lose it lol!

Whoops! I JUST saw you were speaking about the Verizon model. Okay I get it now... They have always locked down pretty much on theirs. The back of the note 3 looks nice! Almost a leatherish appearance... I'd also like to see the guy holding it flip his wrist over to show the new smart watch lol!

Here's a few useful links to a great T-Mobile site (in case anyone has been living under a rock although like I can talk:p)

Hey everyone -

A few things...

- I was in the process of reorganizing things within mediafire, and then things went wonky, so the irc 2.5 link is not working atm

- I appreciate the willingness to help with things, but lets avoid posting direct links to unreleased things on the forum/thread itself. This isn't to say it can't be shared, just PMs would be better until things get officially posted (and uploaded to the main server I use). No need for apologies/etc. on this, it's all good - just a note for moving forward. I will try to get things rearranged and back up at some point today (likely this evening/late tonight)... one last little bug to (try to) squash before release...

It OK bro take ur time and at your own pace.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] txnr70:
I'm having an issue that I did not experience on 2.4.1. I use hotspot VPN (or another app, hideninja, I tested both and this issue is present with either installed) under certain situations, such as when I connect to a public WiFi.

Under both 2.4.1 and aosp (carbon) the VPNs worked flawlessly. Today while at Micky D's I tried to connect and neither app worked. Hotspot threw the error in the attached screenshot.

Has something in the rom changed that would affect this? I did a clean install after a system and data wipe from 2.4.1. I'm using the default kernel.

Sent from my SGH-T889
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Just to make sure - did you install the VPN option when you flashed the rom?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sino8r:
You have to add the VPN app and lib from the ROM zip. You can add it manually or use the installer script thingy.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Warrior1975:
Still no lock with gps lock, I'm sure it has something to do with flashing AT&T aosp ROM. I'm going to try rewiping, and odin back to stock. Don't not what else to do. Unless just doing a full wipe and try reflashing 2.5 when Dwith releases the update.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] prdog1:
Have seen a lot of S3 lose GPS coming back from AOSP. Some were able to get back just with full wipe and flashing a stock rom and then were able to flash custom. Some had to Odin back. :cool:

I know this is a bit old fashioned at this point but you (or anyone) might try GPS Status to download the latest GPS data. Anytime I need to use maps... It will download the latest data and BAM! Locks in almost instantly!

Odin is one of the main reasons why I keep coming back to samsung. It saved my(and my Vibrants) @$$ so many times. .
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Warrior1975:
Tried. Didn't work. Tried all suggestions from this thread, nothing. I even reflashed the stock image, which worked. Reflashed 2.5 again, GPS won't lock. I'm confused.

I just hate wiping all my data, going through rooting, etc, all over again.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
I'll take it to a fix I used after I ported eclipse over. I couldn't get a lock after using it. So flash a ROM you can get a lock on. Open navigation and get a lock, then straight from navigation boot into recovery wipe and flash 2.5 (or restore a nan of 2.5 if you have one)

---------- Post added at 05:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:25 PM ----------

This, I got a crash course with odin the first night I got my first smart phone. Bricked it flashing tweaked in the charge. I've had every brand out there since and odin is the best! Lg was second with there program you just hit restore and enter shine info and it does the rest. H-boot sucks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sshafranko:
This is what always works for me....

I tick all 3 gps services in settings, toggke gps on, go to nav and enter an address and hit go. After it doesnt lock on in 30 sec I exit nav, untick all 3 in settings, toggle gps off and reboot. Once rebooted I tick the 3 on, toggle gps on go to nav again enter an adress and I get a lock in like 30 seconds the 1st time then instant after that. I also make sure to do it outside or near a window.

I dont know why but this has worked for me on 3 roms so far. GL
