I have a problem when I use camera it said camera failed error how can I fix it im using perseus kernel
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Warrior1975:
I stick with stock, trinity is a close second. Most others didnt seem to work that well on my phone. I really wanted to use devil kernel but for me, battery life was horrendous, plus, I love Tweaked so much, I doubt I'd use dual booting. Just like the idea, its cool.

Are you using stock camera or AOSP? Stock is working fine for me, and has worked on every kernel I tried.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] rg75:
Stock and asop camera both same problem

I flash stock kernel oll good now
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
It was the format of your sd card probably. PBJ doesn't support exfat so you would need to format it to fat32
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] rg75:
I fix it flash stock kernel reboot it then when back to perseus all good now it time to hit the road wit some good music tanx:thumbup:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] zonly1:
Awesome job, as usual! Thanks for fixing the multiple contacts (> 10) for messaging! Steller ROM!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] zoth:
Diff. cables diff. puter's (laptop and desktop) I also notice that on mine USB Debugging does not stay on after a reboot. Tried stock & saber kernel with the same results.

Note: This would be the 1st time to fully trust TB to fully restore my apps no data and this is what I got. I normally do them all at the play store. Not sure it has anything to do with my issue. :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dirtybudha:
Easiest way: just download the ROM file and flash in recovery. I did that with 2.2 with no issues.

There's a "modifier" ZIP you can download as well. This gives some of the options that the "basic install" gives, but you use this modifier AFTER you install the ROM.

Basic Method: you run this file first, then flash the ROM after. The basic gives you options to customize the ROM installation.

Hope that helps a bit.

CHEERS!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Gack69:
Really loving this ROM so far. Here are a couple of observations/errors I am experiencing. Can anyone confirm these or are they unique to me?

1.) Using CM10 MMS...tapping on YOUR icon in an SMS thread/conversation will FC the contact app. Tapping the icon for the person you are talking with works fine however, and opens in contacts app. I was able to edit my contact in the contacts app to specify an image icon for myself, so not a big issue for sure.

2.) Using 7spotAOSP lock screen. Changing the custom app from TSM to anything else works, but the icon stays TSM at all times. Also, on this 7spotAOSP, unlock and launching MMS app from the lock screen does not work for me either. It just vibrates and stays on launch screen.

Really cool ROM...great work! :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Holy good testing batman... yeah those both slipped by me and I can verify that both occur for me as well. These are both reflective of nuanced differences between AOSP and TW - both in Mms (the Mms hotspot not unlocking) and in SecContacts (the FC when clicking on own image in thread). I will see what I can do to make those go away :)

Also - the TSM icon won't change. The variability in activity that can be called and the complexity in making such an image be both dynamic and aesthetically in sync with the other hotspots is a gigantic task for what on the surface seems to be such a simple concept. The "juice wasn't worth the squeeze" in my opinion on that one, but perhaps how I was going about it was overly complicated... not sure, as 95% of what I have done has been blind "I wonder if I can do this" sorts of things lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
Yes, it works just fine because it is using vrtheming, or whatever the heck it is called, so it works on all Note II devices and all ROMs.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Gack69:
I totally agree...not worth the effort probably. Even the one in MMS on tapping your own portrait. Unless its an easy fix, its really not hard to simply update your portrait icon from inside contacts app directly. The only other consideration would be to prevent the error from incidental taps like when scrolling a SMS thread, sometimes I accidentally tap my own icon (right handed scroller). Ultimately, depends on how easy a fix it is. Other observations in the AOSP SMS app, is attachements. You can attach pics from gallery and take a pic and attach w/o any issue. Video isn't working...but I had this problem alot on AOSP ROMS too. I dont think it knows how to degrade the video image quality enough to get the video small enough for attachment. My guess is that would take access to samsung libs that the AOSP sms app cant utilize correctly to perform this? Just a guess, pure speculation. Nor can I add audio clips using "record audio" option....this causes messaging app to FC. I can record audio however in voice recorder app, then attach that to an SMS message,...that works fine.

Please don't take these comments in any negative light...I really, REALLY am enjoying this ROM...it's pretty damn amazing man...bound to have nuances when blending some AOSP features with proprietary TW environment. These are just observations from playing around and testing is all. Even if none of them get fixed, this is a damn fine ROM!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
No worries - none of the comments are being taken as a negative. I actually very much appreciate comments like these, as I often miss ways/places/situations that could cause issues for folks so to have them brought to my attention is very nice :) And while I am unsure I'll be able to remedy any/all of them, now that I am aware of them I can at least try :) I should have noticed most of these, but I really didn't test aosp mms as well as I should have, so that was my bad. For the video attaching w/ mms, have you gone into the camera/camcorder bit and selected the "Limit for MMS" recording mode? Just curious.

Also - keep the feedback coming - no detail is too small to go unmentioned :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Gack69:
Ya know...I never noticed that option, I'll have to go look and see :) Will report back in a few :)

RESULTS:

I went into camera app and set that bit to "Limit for MMS" for both front facing and rear facing...exited the camera and went into messaging app and tapped "Capture Video" and I still get the error message that size limit is exceeded almost instantly. Back into camera app and looked at the bit and its back to default "Normal". Apparently it doesn't stick as a setting but only applies to the current usage of the camera?? However, I was able to enable this bit, and record a video, then bounce over to SMS and just attach the video from the gallery. :) So, that option is viable...just doesn't seem to want to work with the option "Capture Video".

Swagger toggle meant to reboot phone?

Tweak'd Note 2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] robbyr:
Just an FYI for the crowd...

Moving up from 1.6 to 2.0

Downloaded the ROM and Tweaked v2.0 Basic Approach Prepare Install

Wiped both cache

Ran the Tweaked v2.0 Basic Approach Prepare Install and picked my options

Installed ROM

Wiped both cache

Rebooted

Installed new UVBMB4 Modem

So far, I don't see any issues at all. I haven't installed a non-stock kernel yet but am looking for recommendations. It appears that all went well without needing to wipe anything BUT I did come from 1.6. :fingers-crossed:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Good to know, and thanks for testing that. I definitely have some things to look into regarding aosp mms :)

LOL - well, if certain conditions are met, it will :) Now the question is - can you figure out what that condition is (or what those conditions are...)?

To more directly answer your question - yes, that can happen, and when it does it is supposed to :) I have fun with that toggle.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] J_Whit85:
Ok I'll play around and see what I come up with. Thanks Dwith

Tweak'd Note 2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Gack69:
When I tapped it too, did the samething to me...but I have no idea what it does...but it was BEGGING to be tapped :D I couldn't resist the urge
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] edwardlanti:
is anyone having trouble with the screen being too dim when is on Auto? I never had that problem while being 1.6
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
I rarely use auto, but in a quick check right now I don't notice anything that seems too different from my experience with it on UVALL4. Also, remember that 1.6 was based on UVALL4 4.1.1, and 2.0 is based on UVBMB4 4.1.2 - there may in fact be some differences in things between 1.6 and 2.0 but they will in large part be due to differences in their underlying bases.

All that being said - are others noticing odd auto-brightness behavior? Is it different from stock UVBMB4?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] fireishott:
It does seem a bit dim when I did a quick check by flashing my from stock backup...hmmmm

Wonder is there anyway to mod the threshold on tweaked
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
I can look into it - I'm almost positive you can modify that... almost anyway :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] PENKO956:
yes auto is a bit dim. I was on another UVBMB4 base rom where the auto was not as dim. hope this helps
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] notxel21:
Anyway to reset the exposure value to default? Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
Open camera. Click the settings gear. Scroll down and find exposure and increase it to zero
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
I had asked if people wanted that a few pages back - I'm fine with going back to how it was, just thought I'd get people too test it to see what opinions were. Assuming no one cares I'll revert to standard for 2.1.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jeibosquez:
I flashed the new modem while on 1.6... should I flash it again... this base has the "LTE" option whereas 1.6 didn't.

I was gonna odin the new base tonight just to avoid any bugs. The odin image should flash the new modem then correct?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] nesta17:
SG4 MMS

What is different about this and how do you turn it on?

Included SGS4 Mms option
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
That is the S4 MMS ported to our phone.

Also unless I'm crazy dwith I don't see a line for it in the install prop
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] deeznutz1977:
Its in there but I had the cm10 mms and sgs4 mms checked and I think you can only install 1 btw this was the basic install this time. Ps I installed it with the modificatinator..... I just checked its in the the advanced method also
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] deeznutz1977:
Screenshot of the sgs4 mms
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] zoth:
FYI, the only way I was able to get back usb mounting my drives. Was by flashing stock back via odin, root and then flash 2.3 again. Weird but it worked.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LazyJr:
Hi,

I just flash the Tweaked 2.3 today. But when I check on setting/battery the android system always show 25% and up usage. My other S3 only has 5% usage. It is normal for this Rom?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
Deez figured out it brother. I had one if the original 2.3 props from irc. My new prop downloaded to a different folder so I didn't realize it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sino8r:
Hmmm... I might have throw it in my system folder to check it out. I kinda forgot about it on the install... Whoa dude! Your baby can use the phone already lol?! :p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] deeznutz1977:
Another reason why you shouldn't text and drive :p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Warrior1975:
It's not the ROM, it's something else. An app more than likely.

sgh-TWEAKED-889©
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] CaptainMorgan:
Actually you got me thinking that it may be kernel related. I was using saber30.2 so flashed the latest neak kernel and have no problems with usb mount. gonna try the non-uc saber and see if it works.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
Also, if you just flashed give it some time to settle. There's behind the scenes Android stuff going in that takes a little. Basically give it a day, it'll be better
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] edshawn911:
Can anyone tell me the best kernel for this ROM

For battery. and something that won't break stuff....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] NeoAndroid:
Usually the kernel that comes with the ROM is best.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] deeznutz1977:
You are correct but this rom can come with 4 kernels.... Ive been using pbj
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] zoth:
It is saber 30.2 causing it, with 2.2 is fine but not 2.3. I gave it a shot again and did the same thing and I have to start all over via odin.

Let me know if non-uc works for you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] NeoAndroid:
I agree, PBJ is pretty good. What I've found is that if I also use Greenify app along with it gives me the best battery/performance option.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
PBJ is the truth

But it always comes down to your phone. For instance I can't run trinity, but some live it. Best advice is try all four for a couple days
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Warrior1975:
Totally off topic, but I just installed the 4.2 camera with photosphere, and it works. Here is a link:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] xamindar:
Why are you linking it when it already comes with the rom?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] deeznutz1977:
I just checkedthe one in the rom is from 4.2 the linked one I believe is from the ge gs4 and 4.3.... I believe dwith meant to put it in.... edit: I derped. My bad
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Warrior1975:
Cause I'm a complete jackass. Wrong forum. Meant to post in note 8 forum, oops. :(

sgh-TWEAKED-889©
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kal-El7:
Greenify is MANDATORY & should be purchased by Google.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
I didn't know it was 4.3, but I did put in the new google edition one... is that 4.3? I should pay more attention lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] CaptainMorgan:
Ok, so neither of the recent saber are mounting (at least for me) with this build. That's ok, will wait on future builds and mess with other kernels for time being. ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] deeznutz1977:
Its the ge s4 and in 4.3. And my bad my tibu restore must have put the 4.2 aosp camera back. Sorry for the confusion :( dwith
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sino8r:
Strange because mine is fine... I'm on 31

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Cjunior:
anybody has issues with MMS i can't send any picture or receive any MMS pictures if i am using wifi calling?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Warrior1975:
Are you using TWRP? If so, what version? I think I had the same issue a while back, I had to update TWRP. I could be wrong though.

Known issue unfortunately.

sgh-TWEAKED-889©
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Along the lines Warrior1975 was saying - either reflash the most up-to-date version of whatever recovery you are using (assuming you are in fact flashing this on a T889 T-Mobile Note 2) or in the basic installer elect to skip the assert checks.

What Mms are you using? AOSP Mms does not support Mms with wificalling but the other two do.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Gwanatu:
Loving the new ROM! Just a quick question though, any way to change the new AOSP lockscreen icons? I like the flat icons better. Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Alexia Whitehurst:
I can make a back to stock zip for now... I will add an optional lock screen in the next release...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Gwanatu:
You are awesome!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] deeznutz1977:
What rom were u on before this theres an option to ucheck. Assert checks....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Warrior1975:
I had issues with the asset check on my other note 2, when I flashed an ATT ROM, I never passed the asset check after that.

sgh-TWEAKED-889©
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Alexia Whitehurst:
Update your recovery, and try again... Should take care of your issue...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] zoth:
To make matters worst for me, flashing the stock Kernel via "Tweaked Modificatinator UVBMD1 v2.3" does not solve the mounting issue. I have to flash stock ROM via Odin and root before I can get it to work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Wow - I have yet to encounter anything quite as wonky as that. Are you wiping data when you flash the stock ROM via Odin?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] zoth:
Yes, I actually do a full wipe even system and internal SD, them flash stock via Odin. Just mentioning just in case some else encounter it with Saber kernel.

Back up from a fresh odined stock and root then 2.3 with stock kernel. ROM's running great.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
I've heard Dwitherell say you should flash the stock kernel in between flashing different ones.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jonjinbae:
Oh no.... I'm having trouble with USB mounting too on saber :[
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Alexia Whitehurst:
This should get you back to boring stock 7-lock...

*Now tested and working

7-Lock Back to stock
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kal-El7:
exFAT

I see some folks talking about kernels. Has anyone here aimed for verifying kernel compatibility and stability with kernels that support exFAT? I once was recording video on my phone (lengthy video) and it just stopped on me because I had reached the FAT32 file-size limitation. Since then I went exFAT and never looked back. This, however, restricts me to certain kernels now. I've only used Bullet on another ROM. As for Tweaked, I could only use the stock kernel. The other kernels made my card unreadable.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] parusia:
I'm using Perseus kernel, with my 64 GB card formatted to exFat and have no problem with it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jshealton:
From what I am seeing in the threads for the kernels, the only one I see on the tmo note 2 xda threads that supports exFAT is the Perseus kernel. All the others I have looked at say FAT32 only.

Sent from my tweaked out SGN2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kal-El7:
Thanks, guys. I've heard of Perseus but never used it. I have used Bullet on another T-Mo ROM and that supports exFAT as well. It's an overclocked kernel, so I've used it at 1.9Ghz.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] deliriousbb:
I don't know exactly how to phrase this question, but here it goes. In the TW browser, I logged into my Google account and usually I can see all my bookmarks from my Google account. But now with the 2.3 I am unable to have a drop-down for the Google bookmarks. The only bookmarks are "on device". Does anyone know how to get this back? Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kal-El7:
Wow. Never seen that before. I have 2.3 installed just fine and I see all my bookmarks from Google. Would you be alright re-flashing again with a clean wipe/format just to make sure? I can't imagine anything else fixing it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jonjinbae:
I have the same problem so does that mean I can't use saber after Odin and flashing again?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] deliriousbb:
I could just try reflashing, but was hoping to avoid that, since I have a ton of apps to restore if I do...not as many as another member here but enough to make me spend an hour or two setting things up.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
Try to manually resync your browser under settings, then your Google account
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] EdKeys:
Before doing that I would delete tweaked folders on internal and external sd cards (wherever you chose to save in the past). Then rerun the basic installer, making sure to choose the secbrowser in Aroma. Then reflash 2.3.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] rickm8384:
I'm running 2.2 that I think I installed correctly. Problem is I am seeing about a 25-30% battery drain overnight with screen off. Any ideas?

Edit: looks like Google Services is the culprit. Up at 33% with over 2 hours of stay awake. What could be causing that? Never had this issue before on Frosty.

Sent from my Tweaked Note II
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
The underlying rom isn't the issue, like you said it's google services. It would have the same chance of occurring there as it does here if all the google app stuff were similarly updated. This isn't horribly uncommon (happens on plain ol' stock), and from what I've read the best approach is to get an app that allows you to examine in finer detail what in particular is causing the issue. I've also heard reports that a simple reboot or even wiping cache/dalvik can help, or freezing or restoring an older version of whatever apk is causing the problem - hard to say the specific solution without knowing the specific problem. The battery drain you are reporting here though is DEFINITELY not normal. Out of curiosity what kernel are you using?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ptmr3:
Hey guys dwitherell has brought ti my attention that some if you are having some issues with usb not connecting in saber kernel. It is definitely not the ROM but is actually a ramdisk error in one if my versions of kernel. A new version will be up today and will fix this problem. Sorry for the frustration, and thanks dwither for the pm!

What? For the Note2 stock Mms? That is definitely not right, and I have had no issues with that. Are you using a custom keyboard? I don't have a send button on my keyboard.

Thanks guys for the tip on the missing Google bookmarks. I ended up fiddling with the settings under browser and resetting everything to default and for some magical reason it brought back the Google bookmarks. Quite odd. Hope this helps someone out with the same missing Google bookmark issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] rickm8384:
DWITHERALL,

Thanks for the reply! Definitely was not trying to knock TWEAKED. I'm actually for the most part happy with it. The drain is weird of course. I'm running stock kernel actually. Could the battery drain be caused by the google services wakelock?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
I know - I wasn't taking it as a knock. The google services wakelock is the most likely reason for the battery drain. Anyone encounter this in the past, and if so have any tips on resolving it?

In other news - fixed the sgs4 mms widget :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
By the way it's dwitherell
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sheltem:
Awesome :) Group texting works great btw. Well worth the minor inconvenience.
