Just flashed this coming from 1.11 and no gps issues for me. The only thing I noticed was the multi window isn't taking my apps just like someone else said a few posts above. Not too big of a deal because I rarely use it but figured I'd mention. Also I'm using the transparent status bar for the first time on this phone and I'm loving the look.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bhp117:
Hey mikey

I wonder if you can add kernel option to the sticky settings?

For example - the setting give us the option to use the stock kernel that come with meanbean or any custom kernel we like but we'll have to flash it manually

Meaning if we set to the custom kernel setting each time we update meanbean ice it'll keep the current custom kernel we flashed so that way we don't have to flash the custom kernel each time we do an update

I'm not sure how many meanbean ice users actually use custom kernel like persues or saber but I think it'll be very helpful for those who do like me

Thanks for all the hard work and support

Also here a small donation as all hard your work is much appreciated

It takes all of 5 seconds to flash a custom kernel... Too much work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bhp117:
Yeah 5 sec and a swipe wear me down:p

I'm not sure how you update each time but when ever I update using ota it'll reboot to twrp then flash new update and reboot automatically

So I'll have to wait till it boot up and upgrade all my 432 apps then reboot back to twrp and flash the kernel of my choice

Then reboot agian and another 432 apps upgrade process before I can use my phone

So yeah all that just takes 5sec :rolleyes:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JamesCaywood:
Hey mike Idk if u know this but the multi tasking window when I try to add other apps it keeps force closing every time???

And I tryed everything
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] natsnation87:
I agree with the other guy. At the most it takes 5 minutes (I have 380 apps myself). I always flash my custom kernel in the same recovery session and never have any problems. Seems like there are bigger issues at hand with GPS, multi window ,etc at the moment
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] YankInDaSouth:
Thanks for confirming this .... I was bashing my head against the wall trying to figure out what I was doing (or did) wrong LOL
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikeyxda:
For the two people who nandroided back to a copy of Beans 14, got a GPS lock, and then reflashed this ROM and got GPS working, I have an important question. When you flashed back to MeanBean ICE, did you do a dirty flash or a clean install?

It sounds like there's some nvram on the actual GPS chip that isn't being initialized by the international base. Your answer to the above may help me figure this out.

Thanks,

Mike
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bioslayer:
I restored back to beans 12 if that matters. I did not reflash ice.8 I set a nan droid of.8 before restoring to beans12. It s kinds odd but I did not get a GPS lock on beans either. After the restore to ice .8 it just worked.

GPS takes 5 sec or so to actually lock but it does lock icon and all where as in mean bean 1.11 I'd lock but not have a icon

In not complaining about the delay on lock is really not a problem it works way better than other ROMs or stock

On another note My multi window control won't allow the addition of more apps either and if you clear is data it locks up the phone you can still get to reboot I nbetween force closes but the reboot only solves the force close issue

Thanks again for all your work it is much appreciated

You can flash the kernel immediately...no need to boot up first. I flash perseus every time I update.

JB
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikeyxda:
Holy crap! The rabbit hole only gets deeper and more convoluted. I have no idea what could cause these odd inconsistencies nor do I understand all the weird dances that bring GPS back. There has to be some nvram on this phone somewhere that is not accessible through any known partition and some of these weird methods are somehow resetting it.

Gonna look into the Multi Window thing now... and take a break from GPS.

Does morphology work well with ICE?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droid_freak:
0.7 gps worked for me. Super wiped to include internal storage and installed 0.8. GPS found my location right on the money. Then about 20 secs later moved about 1 mile away and showed accuracy of 2000'. That's where it now stays. Weird!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Namolas:
Thats what 0.6 was doing to me. It would focus in and out, in and out, from 12 meters to 44,000 meters over and over again and would never stop. I tried all the fixes posted, clearing data, reboots, wiping, everything with no luck but its been fixed for me since 0.7

This is what I have after 10 mins outside.

I've been using gps aid free from the play store. I very seldom have had a gps issue that wasn't fixed by turning gps off and back on but when I do that's what I use to bring it back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikeyxda:
Try flashing the GPS reset that is in your /sdcard/MeanBean folder.

Mike
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droid_freak:
I did flash the reset earlier today. I tried it one more time however since I have tried the GPS so much this morning and no such luck. Still shows me about a mile away and GPS Aid never see's any satellites.

Noob question. How to use persues (or any kernel) to improve the volume on this beast?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droid_freak:
Go to the audio setting in STweaks that downloads with the kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] idelgado782:
hey guys, I initially dirty Flashed from mean to the ice and I had issues with my GPS. I was having issues downloading 07 so I Skipped it and just flashed 08. I did a clean install but did not wipe my SD card and then restored my apps with Tibu. I used gps Status & toolbox and got a lock instantly. Thank you for working towards fixing it!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bioslayer:
To those still having GPS problems.

Do you toggle your GPS on and off?

I've found that my GPS stays good when it's left on. Kind a similar to the Wi-Fi issues where it doesn't like to be controlled manually

My gps radio only seems to turn on more when it is needed ie when I load maps or navigation

Is this new because I've always manually toggled it in the past maybe it's part of the international aspect or I've just never noticed before I've had issues

Experiencing something odd. Getting a weird space at the top of the notification bar. View attachment 1919734

Any ideas? If I have to wipe. ..rather not though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jimjk1968:
Completely dirty. No wipe at all. I usually at least wipe cache but I didn't this time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kisypher:
that space is where the stock toggles belong. when you choose not to have stock toggles in Aroma the toggles don't show up but the empty space is still there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikeyxda:
No, there won't be any space there where the stock toggles used to be unless you have installed something that has modified or replaced the SystemUI.apk.

Mike
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kisypher:
hmmmm, not sure what I have installed that would have modified the systemui, but that space has always been there for me too. I just figured that was where the stock toggles were usually at.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikeyxda:
Try a clean install. There should definitely be no gap: I wouldn't leave a gap there as that defeats the purpose of removing the toggles and brightness slider which is to get us more space for the things that matter: your notifications.

Mike
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] moeinyoho:
I'm on the sprint note 2 using this rom it's pretty much amazing lol. Great work sir
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Woof_:
I figured it out. If you go into display> notification panel the check the top box the gap disappears. If you have it unchecked you get the gap.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikeyxda:
Guys, hold off on 0.9 if you haven't already installed it. I have one last minor improvement I want to make to the Multi Window Control and if I can get it perfect quickly, I'll put up a 1.0 as I think we're at that stage now anyway (something worthy of a 1.0 designation).

Mike
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] toskabab:
Hey Mikey thanks so much for all your work. I just had one small request. We all love your updates but I don't think we like the 1 gb downloads quite as much. Would it be possible to have two different files placed in the ota? One file would be the entire rom for those who want it and the other would be a (much) smaller update.zip with only the recent changes as some of them are minor. It would be a great help and a great motivation to stay up to date rather than waiting till the next BIG update to download another gb. Just a suggestion. Thanks either way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikeyxda:
While a good idea, I don't do partial downloads as a general rule. They cause too many problems to be worthwhile, people start applying the partial downloads to the wrong ROM version, and you never know what you are going to get when you apply it because it doesn't go through the entire ROM install process.

Mike
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Lodingi:
Drat. Too late. Lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikeyxda:
OK. 0.9 turned out to be an appetizer. 1.0 is the full meal.

Finally got gps. Flashed 0.7 with no luck. Nandroid anyway. Flashed my nandroid of 1.11 and waited for solid gps lock. Imediately restored the 0.7 nandroid and money, it works now.

I have v0.8 installed now,if I copy the (MeanBean.blt) file to extstorage card,then do a complete wipe and install 1.0,reboot and past the blt file into 1.0.reboot would the de bloat still work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shrike1978:
No. A wipe will wipe the blt file. You have to dirty flash to maintain it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikeyxda:
But after wiping, if you copy the blt file back to /data and then install, the debloat will work.

Mike
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bambamishere:
Was gonna copy blt to my 64GB card which I would not wipe it,then install 1.0 reboot then replace blt from sd.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikeyxda:
Copy it back first, then install. If you install first and then copy the file back, it won't work. The install needs to see the file because the install does the debloating.

Mike
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cmo220:
I never use the debloat file, I just use 7zip to delete all the things I don't want before install. But could you just use 7zip to drop the old blt file into /data/meanbean or wherever it goes on a computer before putting the ROM on your phone?

I literally just finished downloading,installing and setting up meanbean 1.11 today and then I see this.. -__- its not a huge hassle for me to do it again (I clean install every time) but I wanted to know if you guys have noticed anything much better about it than the already awesome 1.11
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DrunkUncas:
Be sure to make a nandroid of 1.11 because some phones have been an absolute **** to get GPS working, and I'm not sure it's worth the hassle if yours is one of them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidx2.3.3:
Sofar so good with this rom its pretty slick. But I have a question that I know has been answered but I cant find it.

Thanks for any help

I don't think it can be done. I've been trying for days lol

5ghz WiFi

I am running ICE 1.0 from a dirty flash from Mean Bean 1.11 but I have noticed that even after clean flashes of ICE, this problem was present. Randomly whether my screen is off or on, my phone will just drop from my 5ghz WiFi. I can be in the middle of downloading a file and it will completely drop off. WiFi toggle is still on and access point is still saved with phone but just have to click connect in settings every time it falls off. Anyone else having these issues or know a fix for this? Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikeyxda:
This is usually a router issue. Every phone I've ever owned has had a problem with a handful of users who have a certain model router. It's rarely a problem with the phone or the ROM but more of a protocol issue with certain routers where the phone has a problem with some model routers. You could try changing the WiFi channel or security method. Sometimes that helps.

Mike
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] natsnation87:
Thanks for the reply. Would that still be the case when I never had this problem when running mean bean 1.11?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikeyxda:
Quite possibly. The manufacturers are constantly changing the connection protocols by updating their WiFi libs. Each new release seems to open up holes or incompatibilities that affect certain routers. Usually, each update will make compatibility better for a few routers, and worse on one or two. I've seen it happen on HTC phones as well as Samsung phones, even the unmentionable iJunk. It's kinda sad really, that everything isn't just made to the same spec... and just works. Unfortunately, that's life in areas like bluetooth, Wifi, and a few other protocols. Out of curiosity, what router brand/model are you running?

Mike
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikeyxda:
Unfortunately the Jelly Bean framework does not support "gone" as an option for icon visibility in the status bar: only "invisible". So programs like Power Toggles have no choice but to use space if you choose the invisible option. I guess they designed it such that if a notification is showing in the pulldown, there must be an associated space on the status bar. I just use the date option in Power Toggles because I find it useful to have that in the status bar. I use it all the time because a lot of times when I'm using the phone I want to look up and see the date.

Mike
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jdg1:
Not a big deal but has anyone noticed there is always a blank spot in the notification bar?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thepolishguy:
Are you using power toggles? If so have you been reading the posts right before yours?

Thanks for your input. I as well had to go back to 1.11 to get it working properly. It only seemed to be a problem when on the international base.

I had Wi-Fi issues as well but that was also in 1.11 where it didn't like the better Wi-Fi app toggling it.... I dropped off Wi-Fi taking the ota to 1.0 and used a gig of my data lol.

Since that point I'm using Wi-Fi fixer from the play store and my Wi-Fi has been perfect... Eben able to run better Wi-Fi again.

Need Help!!!!

Hello All,

I'm getting a lot of connection timeouts in the google play store and I also can't access PayPal. In PayPal I'm getting the message "No data received" if I enter in the correct password. If I intentionally enter the wrong message I get a message saying invalid password or username. Has anyone seen this before? I'm currently on ICE 1.0 but have switched back and forth today between 0.7 and 1.0 to troubleshoot. The issue happens on both releases.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jmboulware:
No problems logging in to PayPal or with the play store on mine. Did you do clean or dirty?

JB
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jefffet27:
I'm really scratching my head on this one. I started with a dirty via the OTA downloader and then did a clean via the 1.0 download link. I've never seen this before. I even tried using a different keyboard in case it was a formatting issue caused by the default keyboard.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cmo220:
I'm not having any issues with it, but to try to narrow down the problem for someone that could help you, does this happen on wifi, data, or both? I had a similar issue in the past and it had to do with wifi settings.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jefffet27:
I'm at work so I've only tried it with data. I can try it over wifi this evening. I turned off my wifi service (even though I'm not connected to anything) just now for troubleshooting and I'm still getting the same thing.

If it was wifi only I'd think there was a problem with settings, but since it's data I have no idea.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikeyxda:
You could test it but I suspect the Galaxy Note 9 will be out and we will all be driving hovercrafts before you burn out a processor from letting it idle. ;) In theory, all the sleep, wake, sleep, wake, sleep, wake cycles that are happening on your phone at least once every 3 minutes for things like location services are probably worse for the CPU than just letting it run all the time at low voltage. Power up/down typically causes more wear and tear on electronic components.

Anyone try Visual Voice Mail yet? That's one thing I can't test because I refuse to give Verizon any more of my money for just voice mails. ;)
