I see. I don't use the onscreen button so it's fine aha.

I was wondering, did anyone notice a bit of weird lag or loading? Like when I load applications, or when it's loading, it would show the background. I don't remember what it looked like before, probably just blackness. I attached an example. It's really obvious if I switch cameras from frontal to the back or vice versa. The top of and the bottom shows the background image. Some apps would do that. Not sure what's causing it

Edit,::: I think it's the same symptoms as Brad from the previous posts.

I'll try to get a screen shot, I have my status bar clock set in the center and when I get a message, normally the clock would scroll off of the status bar to display the notification preview. My clock stays put and the preview is behind(or on top of) the clock so it's tough to read.

Is there any way to change the on screen keys? Instead of having them be menu, home, and back keys? Similar to AOKP's setup
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
This is an after-effect of the system-wide transparency edits unfortunately. It was because of this that Alexia was kind enough to come up with a "true opaque" option that made behavior (and transparency) revert back to stock. You can flash this via the modificatinator.

Yessir it is :)

Hmm is anyone else seeing this? Have you flashed anything else after the update? I just checked and mine scrolled off - you did the ota, right? And no need for a screenshot I know what you mean now, I was a bit tipsy last night and slow on understanding lol.

No, not yet anyway. This mod was mostly so people didn't need to edit build.prop and reboot if they wanted to use navkeys, that's it. I may look into working in more options later though, not sure yet.

Where is the advance installinfo.zip file located? As I don't see it in the download section. Thanks in advance
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
It should be under the Main Downloads area - sometimes the XDA app doesn't show things as they should be for whatever reason though. If you view it as a webpage or on a computer it should be visible.

But I originally chose opaque in the beginning. I have never turned on the transparency thing. Did 2.1 break my preference?

I tried a flash a theme that worked with 2.0 now it doesnt. Do any themes work?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kenbals:
Foreverloco updated his theme already for 2.1 Using it now. And Ultimate RIT works too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
The 2.0 opaque option was not "true" opaque - it still was based on a structure that allowed system-wide transparency to be controlled by 1-2 images. In 2.1 that opaque option exists still (transparent-ready opaque), but there also is a TRUE opaque option Alexia was kind enough to put together that you can flash w/ the modificatinator or the full zip. The OTA updates a file that includes the transparent-ready base (though no relevant images so the overall transparency level should not have changed) which is likely why you are seeing what you are seeing. In the full install zip there is a new TRUE opaque option as well - just need to make sure you are using an updated install.prop.

Out of curiosity what theme was it that no longer works?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mastermindx85:

Yea. I found it. There is nothing that I can see in that theme that should crash SystemUI. It is totally PNG changes. There is nothing but PNG changes in SystemUI, framework-res, twframework-res and lidroid-res. No xmls or values ect. With PNG changes they either change or don't if names don't match. Won't crash anything cause they match or original is still there. It is possible it didn't rebuild SystemUI, framework or lidroid correctly or completely during VR process. I would probably make a Nand and try again. Looks good to me. :cool:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mastermindx85:
Its weird cause it worked in 2.0
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] prdog1:
I don't see any reason it shouldn't work on 2.1. If I was building the theme for 2.1 it would look the same. Nothing in the theme or rom to fix. Looks like a bad flash to me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mastermindx85:
I tried again and now it works weird lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] prdog1:
Just a bad flash. VR actually decompiles and injects the PNGs into the app on sd card then restores to rom. It probably hiccuped during that process. ;):cool:

As much as I'd like to say I did something - I didn't :) Touch wake in the kernel is working that magic.

Long Press Power Broken

Upgraded to 2.1 and now the long press on power button is broken. When I press and hold I get a boot loop instead of power menu. Have to pull battery to restart phone.

Anyone else?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
What kernel are you using now? You could always try the stock UVBMB4 kernel if not using that one to get a baseline of sorts for what you could expect.

Have you flashed any theme stuff or anything since 2.1? The power menu has a new option whose image/text is stored in framework-res, so if that's been altered at all that could explain the FC on long-press power. If not, maybe try reflashing the OTA - or even full rom...?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] cjk2010:
Awesome update to an already great ROM.

I noticed two issues which both is likely user error since I "Modifcated" after the install. Both have to do with non Stock Camera and Gallery . I have two camera apps and two gallery apps ... The newer aosp like ones crash and FC..

Aside from that I am running Saber Kernel 23 / Trickster Mod and Rom toolbox and love it .

I did a full wipe and then installed 2.0, immediately flashed the 2.1 OTA zip (via CWM) but still having issue with long press power. Using perseus Kernel.

Any other recommendations? Love this ROM since 1.5. Never had an issue before this. I'll stick with this ROM even with this issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Hmm... I just flashed the 4.2.2 camera/gallery from the modificatinator and no FCs yet - anything in particular you do that results in the FCs?

anyone else have issues with the lockscreen freezing the phone if using a password a pin number on V2.1?

I can power the screen on with the power button, but it will lock up, and turn off immediately over and over. I have to reboot to get back into the system, and then remove the security at the lockscreen and then everything is fine

--------------------------

just figured it out, had to switch to AOSP lockscreen, and now it works fine
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Alexia Whitehurst:
This is something I need to look more into. Currently the transparent edits work well... But they do seem to override animations... Fix one thing to break another... Unfortunately Touchwiz doesnt make a lot of sense... The entire build is one massive waste of images and xml work... Blame Samsung for that one... As soon as I find a way to get the animations to override transparent mods, I will make sure dwitherell gets my work right away...

I haven't had much time to play android girl as of late... Hence me being so quiet... I will do my best to find time to look into this more...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jonjinbae:
How has it been treating you?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Could you be a bit more specific? I'm trying to recreate the issue - so you are just using a pin lock (or a pass lock) and its rebooting? Any other settings I should know about?

You said you switched to AOSP lock - so that means you aren't using a secure lock anymore, right? Sorry for the troubles!

Wows. How was your screen time?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
I took a look at that a few days ago and I don't think it will work on Tweaked. While it is just a stock rom, the tinkering done to it would relegate it to the "heavily modified" status, at least in terms of what the mod includes/alters.

You won't if you opted for the aosp browser. The two cannot co-exist. Otherwise it's an option for both the main install and the modificatinator.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Amd4life:
When I was using the stock lock screen, "galaxy II unlock"

If I used either a pin or password (instead of just a unsecured swipe to unlock), the screen would power on (power button), but then immediately turn off. I could never enter in the password or pin. If I pressed the power button, it would repeat the locked behaviour over and over again.

The only way to unlock the screen would be to pull the battery and it would allow password or pin to be entered on first wake. Anytime after the first reboot, if the screen turned off, if would again freeze as described.

Once I switched to" AOSP lock screen" in the" TSM parts menu", it cleared up the issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] foreverloco:
Just tried the pattern, pin, and password lock screens. They all seem to be working fine, I locked and unlocked the phone a few time to make sure. Might want to try re-flashing the full rom to see if it helps.

Any luck on that menu to kill feature? Also is there a setting to make the app drawer vertical instead of horizontal?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Yes on menu to kill - though actually I should put out a request for feedback... Thanks to prdog1 for sharing the good work of Andybones I implemented it just a hair differently and have it set now for long press back - but you can choose in TSMParts whether to have long-press back act as the app-kill function or as the multiwindow function. Would it be better served as a split function of the long-press menu (choose between app kill and GNow/Google Search)?

And no on the app drawer - stock TW launcher doesn't come w/ all the fun options you see w/ 3rd party launchers unfortunately.

That is probably an app you have installed. I don't have that on mine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
That's is definitely a3rd party app. Take a look through your app drawer and look for anything that says battery or power in the name, I bet that's the culprit.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dingo502:
Personally I never us the back key for multi window and it think its quite annoying for it to be activated from the back key..but menu or back key makes no difference, I just feel the feature should be a part of every rom however it gets implemented.. I will test for you if ya like? Thank you for being so active in your work, we are all very grateful to have ya!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] prdog1:
I would put on menu button so that everyone is happy. No need to kill muti window. Can always use shortcut on homescreen for Gnow if can't get dual menu long press working like we have on S3. Either way with menu you retain all functions without having to turn one off. Could have both options in script as it would just swap androidpolicy.jar. :cool:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Hmm... I believe the default is to have it always on even during sleep - and mine seems to stay that way after reboot. What is it changing to when you reboot?

CRAP! Dude that's totally my bad - yes I got them and I will respond shortly, sorry about that!

I don't know enough about how the patching process works (or have a VZW Note 2 to test with) to know if this would be the case unfortunately. Perhaps someone else w/ that knowledge will respond - my skillset is rather limited.

That is true... though it should be made clear that nothing is killed in the sense that you would need to swap android.policy jars. Currently the way I have it set up is you go into TSMParts > Misc settings and there is a long-press-back option - when unchecked the long-press acts as the multiwindow trigger, and when checked it acts as the app kill process. No reboot or file swap necessary, though you do have to go into settings and what not to swap the function of course. To be honest I'm torn a bit between the two options, as one is the "standard" that people have become accustomed to (long-press-back) and the other leaves multiwindow stuff alone and associates the kill process with long-press-menu... I like the discussion on this folks, keep it up - and thanks again prdog1! :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] prdog1:
Everyone want's app kill. And there are more that want Multi-window than not. I see menu to kill as a no-brainer. And basically the checkbox is swapping the jar. :laugh::cool:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
It may work. All the patch does is swap out the needed libs, system apps and matches csc files and build prop to reflect Verizon. Give it a shot just make a full backup in twrp (including efs) then flash ROM, patch and a Verizon kernel.

I manually patched a Verizon ROM and used it in tmo for a while, there's really very little risk except it not working
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Good point on the first part - though I would argue redirecting a method on-the-fly is a bit different (and definitely faster) than swapping a jar ;)

EDIT: That being said - using menu for it is winning - though I would still offer the checkbox idea for those not interested in the mod :)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
:) just makes me thank you for the help all the more!

Also I'm pretty sure I could manipulate the whitelist function to make long-press menu do the google now bit when long-pressed on an app that can't be killed (like launcher, contacts, etc). Would people want that or more the one-or-the-other approach via tsm checkbox that I was describing before?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] prdog1:
Ours doesn't kill launcher and brings up GoogleNow. Any other app is killed. Launcher is white listed. Toast even comes up as white list instead of kill so know it can be done for certain apps. Launcher is only one I have seen white listed tho. Just tried and that is how ours works. Contacts is white listed also. :cool:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Yep - so is the clock package and a few other system-critical packages :)

So if the long press of menu is implemented for app kill, what happens with Google now, is it only available from home screen ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] prdog1:
Nope. Still works on long press the way we have implemented on S3. Just kills any app that is not white listed. If app is not whitelisted it kills the app first and then opens GNow. :cool:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Its an oops on my end w/ bravia... it'll be fixed next version.

Well, you would have the option on whether to have app-kill or GNow be "active" for the long-press menu. I could even make it like prdog1 said on top of that, where when you set long-press menu to be the app-kill and use it on an app that can't be killed it would bring up GNow (so like from the home screen, or in contacts).

EDIT: Or just make it app-kill first, then do the GNow part like prdog1 said. Thoughts?

Did you try it? How did it work? I can't speak to 2.1, but I tried Scott's patch on 2.0. Everything seemed to work fine except data. The 4G was weak and 3G/1X did not work. I changed a bunch of frame work files and some apks and other things related to data, but it didn't work. so now I'm looking at incorporating Dwitherell's changes into a VZW base. We'll see how that goes since this is the first time I have tried doing a port.
