I would try what Gshadow suggested. Reinstall your rom then don't restore anything using Titanium. If your contacts app works then go to the T-Mobile website and find a way to transfer your contacts to Google. I can't tell you how because I'm a VZW user. But once Verizon Backup lost my contacts for me. When I called them they hooked me up with Google Backup and told me to stick with that.

Anyway don't try to back it up with your phone. Set it up online then back up your phone after.

Just a quick side note. I love this community, and I'm not really referring to XDA as a whole, but our little Tweaked community. By far the best part of XDA, no disrespect meant to other devs at all. Devs really do set the tone for their threads. Unfortunately, xda is now made up of mostly noobs, or people like me, that have a very tiny amount of knowledge. We can be a very frustrating group to deal with, we have endless amounts of stupid questions, annoying requests, etc. Depending on the demeanor of the dev, threads will normally follow suit. Anyway, this is the second dev that I have followed that has been very kind to say the least. PTMR3, would be the other. Dwitherell, I can't thank you enough, along with all of the others in this thread that contribute, Alexia, Deez, kintwofan, Kal-El7, Forevaloco, and anyone I missed. You all know who you are!! Just want to thank you all again, especially Dwith!!!

My posts may help you for application force closes. Please go back and look at my posts on post #1517, #1518, 1519. The technique in those photos should help you, hopefully. Only difference is that instead of com.sec.android.app.flashbarservice (refer to post, you'll understand) just go looking for the contact app. You need Titanium Backup for a lot of other things even if you're not backing up apps.

I've been using Titanium Backup Pro for ages now on different Galaxy phones flashing an eternity of ROMs with TB restoring things with no problems at all. However, backing up the contacts 'application' with TB is something I've never done nor is it suggested. My TB success may be due to a feature I had checked in settings that specifically states is intended to improve migration across "incompatible roms", or so it says. Never had one issue across ROMS and phones.

As for your contacts names, I think I may have read that someone suggested importing the Contacts to Google Contacts (www.google.com/contacts). I've only done it this way, as well. In your phone's settings, under Accounts, click on your Gmail account and you should see what you can sync with your Google account. Contacts should be an option there. Selecting this should effectively import your contacts into Google and will associate all your contacts names with your Google account going forward. Now everytime you switch ROMs, phones, devices, etc...all your contacts come right back once you authenticate your Google account on the device.

As for the app Force Closes, post 1517, 1518 & 1519.

Is this what you were looking for?

Off topic: is there a way to set the actual sd card as the internal sd card? My 16gb is always running out and I would like to have my 64gb card be the internal sd
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kal-El7:
Yes, there are ways. More than one, so it wouldn't suffice to paste on here just one method.

Another way is "Directory Bind". It doesn't swap, but is just as good and is what I use. I've spoken on this on here once. I bind internal directories into duplicate directories created on my external and then I swap them out without the apps knowing any better. My Note 2 comes out of the box with 10.87gb usable. I'm consuming already 12gb but my phone reports that I have nearly 7gb still freed up. Without swapping external for internal. But if you want external to be internal, you may try this. Multiple options.

I need a few testers running stock Tweaked (stock meaning without a theme)... Testers will need to flash a theme (port) that i kicked out yesterday... It does have some holes, but those i will fix... So if you want to help me, help you... Then let me know via PM...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] samklee:
Anyone else notice upsell page coming up on tethering? Just happened this morning. Haven't had this issue before.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Alexia Whitehurst:
I noticed my tether wasnt working anymore... Did you use the modification zip to change something? I know i did, making me think if you changed something in framework via modification zip... Its removing the tether hack...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Warrior1975:
Mine was working intermittently. I thought it was the ROM I flashed on my tablet, same issue when I reverted back to stock ROM on my tablet. It connects, but does not work.

Ummmmhelllo. Lol I'm not running stock unthemed atm but give me a minute and I will
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] samklee:
Yes, I used the modinificator, but I've always used the modinificator in the past with no issues. Interesting thing, for other touch wiz roms, I've had success bypassing the upsell page by deleting the hidden apn and using treve's mod Wi-Fi tethering app. No go this time.

Using hot spot shield still works, as a fallback but I prefer not to take the latency hit as I've been able to actually game through my tethering in the past.

How to fix tether not working !!!!

ok boys and girls. this is what i just did to fix my tethering.

I went into system settings>more settings>mobile networks>acces point names and clicked on t-mobile tethering

it moved from lte to tethering and i exited out

then tried to tether to my galaxy tab and it connected like usual.

this time i got google.com

i was like wtf? so here is a screen shot of my phone. tether is on

so i went out to my car, since thats where my radio needs wifi so i can have my weather , google, email and facebook updated :P

my favorite shot, screenshot of the camera taking a picture of my radio...awesome

tether works again, just goto apns and click on tether :) WHOOO HOOOOO Found it and solved the problem...Now i can get my facebook updates read to me while i drive home....it reads twitter too and emails, i can voice command responses too...Ahh i missed my Kenwood radio and i heart radio, sometimes satellite radio is just not enough!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kal-El7:
That's right......I totally forgot that I had already switched the APN setting when I first installed Tweaked. At first after reading all the posts here I was scratching my head going, "Hmmm, I'm not getting any tethering issues." But that's why.

Good lookin' out.

Another good one is folder mount https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devasque.fmount .....

In my opinion it's money well spent. Doesn't hurt that it's madmack's app ( the man responsible for getting cm started for our phones)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] xamindar:
Thank you deeznutz for the positive response. Looks like this program symlinks to the external sd. This might be exactly what I want. I'll check it out, thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kal-El7:
This is sweet. Good reference.

It also is the same as what I referenced in my earlier response called "Directory Bind", which symlinks the folders. In case you missed that post....I mentioned Directory Bind. The reason why I went that route is because I learned how resolve the problem people had for trying to restore these symlinks after flashing ROMs and having to go through this work all over again. Before, having to restore or flash new would result in broken links. If you plan on utilizing your phone's root status for flashing ROMs or even creating a nandroid for Insurance purposes, make sure that this Folder Mount app has an easy way to re-attach after you restore or flash to a new ROM. I learned it only for Directory Bind and referenced it so I could show you how to set up "blank" folders in case you decided to go with Directory Bind. Now, when I restore a nandroid or flash an entirely new ROM, all my huge data folders get re-attached. I will test Folder Mount and see how this one goes. If it has a built in function to aid in that process, then I'll switch to FM.

UPDATE: ohhhhh, Folder Mount is nice! It does an extra step that I found to be tedious with Directory Bind. I'm gonna try switching services and see how stable that is when restoring nandroid. But the fact that FM asks me if I want for it to create for me the destination folders without me having to do it manually is priceless.

Hey - around what battery level does this dimming occur?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] rickm8384:
For me it's at 5%
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kal-El7:
I get more than 20+ hours of battery on my Note 2 usually. I can't remember ever being at 5%. lol But then some guys don't charge until after a full day also.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] rickm8384:
I get about 15-18 hours from mine. I unplug around 7am and plug in at night around 12am or so generally at between 15 and 5%...i wonder why my battery life isn't the same as yours...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kal-El7:
If you get 15 to 18 hours, your phone is already amazing. Since I've been on another ROM I've been experiencing these unconventional numbers. It's all in the way I set my phone up. As a motorist, I hypermile. So as a phone user, I hypermile. I engage my screen (screen-time or screen-on) 50% of the whole time with wifi on. The most I've ever pushed my phone was 30 hours with 15 hours screem time. Its in the settings where I make the magic work. You don't need Facebook or Tapatalk notifications turned on, you don't need to be at 1.6GHz per core, etc. I change all that stuff. Zero notifications on 100% of all my apps. I use Greenify, so apps hibernate after I close out of them, Autostart zapps, etc, etc. My habits are extreme, but suitable for me.

---------- Post added at 12:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:40 PM ----------

So if anyone says Tweaked has bad battery performance, they have bad habits. I helped my buddy get 20 hours out of his Galaxy S3 unrooted. BUT....because his habits resemble mine, minus the screen time. And he drives using GPS for a living.

---------- Post added at 12:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:43 PM ----------

Tweaked is the business.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] rickm8384:
Never said tweaked has bad performance. In fact I've never had a rom run this great! I just have always wanted to see my note 2 hit over a day and can't seem to make it happen.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kal-El7:
I know you didn't say Tweaked had bad performance nor was that insinuated. Hit me up in PM if you ever have time and maybe we can exchange notes on how we have our setup. But honestly, 18 hours is excellent. Do you sleep? lol I do run my phone through the ground during "trials"......so that's when I deliberately am chasing after battery performance. The dim fix could serve useful then.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Alexia Whitehurst:
Simply put, once/if i get approval to post this port... I will...

- Ported directly to Tweaked

- TSM still works!

- Filled in all the gaps i saw off hand (not that i caught them all i am sure)

- Fixed what i simply didnt like...

BAM...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] AkaTheMacDaddy:
Hell Yeah!" That is Sick! Thank You!" *Crosses fingers that you get approval.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Tiffany84:
That would be great! I love that theme. I typically port it to whatever ROM I'm running. Even better that you ported it and TSM still works which is no easy task. Can't wait to check it out if you get permission. Coming from you I'm sure it's amazing. Keep us posted:)

Just flashed this rom and I love it so far! Love all then options I have to tinker with.

One thing that has me scratching my head is I have set the background wallpaper of my daughter, but the font of contacts and settings is white and hard to read... Anyway I can change the system font color??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Not offhand, but you can use the modificatinator to make the transparency a little more opaque - it can help w/ readability. Most that like the transparency seem to like the 25 or 50% options.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] luv4greenleaves:
Can I just dirty flash the basic install zip again? Is this what you mean by modificatinator ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Alexia Whitehurst:
No... The basic zip only sets options... Basically it makes an xml that aroma reads when flashing the ROM... The medication zip is the best way to go...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Nihonno:
I installed the advanced version of this ROM and immediately loved it. Its a very well rounded and stable ROM. I wanted to keep it on but unfortunately, I had to flash back to my previous ROM.

For some reason, the sound quality (music audio) on this ROM isn't as crisp or doesn't have the low frequency response that my other ROM does. I tried different configurations with the modificator with no luck.

I listen to music all day with a set of decently expensive Klipsch ear buds so its easy for me to tell the difference there. I hate comparing ROMs on a thread like this but I'm curious as to the difference between the sound in this ROM and Jedi Master 14? How was the implementation different? What elements in a ROM and Kernel, affect sound quality?

I even tried flashing the Saber Kernel I have in my current JM14 setup but it couldn't duplicate the sound. I still have it backed up for now though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Alexia Whitehurst:
If you hate doing it, why did you do it?

Jedi looks to have Beats built into the ROM... That could be it... We decided not to add beats as it's easy to add via the market and we wanted to keep things slim.... I personally use Noozxoide and feel like it's much better than beats... Add Saber and voodoo... And I think you will find the sound is just as good..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] weysonn:
i think jedi comes with voodoo as well
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Nihonno:
I said I hate comparing but I also explained why I did it. I wanted to compare my current ROM with my OTHER current ROM to determine the difference in sound implementation. I thought I was very clear on that...

As for your suggestions, I did just that. I also have always used nooz for my sound tuning in all types of ROMs but you may have made a point with built in beats. Thing is, I "uninstalled" beats from my JM14 but from what your saying, it seems as if beats writes to some files that stay if because it was cooked with the ROM. All assumptions at this point but its educational.

I installed voodoo with saber and used nooz but it still wasn't the same so I'm still learning. Since I have tweaked, backed up, I can keep experimenting.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kal-El7:
Now you got me curious, as I use only Klipsche as well and I have not yet heard any music on this ROM as of yet. I'm very strict on my audio fidelity.

Curious, now.

I have been going trough this thread, but can't find my answers.

1) on the lock screen , anyway to remove thw chrome logo from the icon?

2) when I go to settings, it is transparent and uses the home screen wallpaper as its background. Any way to make it a solid color like black? I tried to change the transparency choices during the aroma installer, but does not change it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
1) To go back to stock icons for the lockscreen, check out the zip Alexia put together in

this

post.

2) Download and flash the modificatinator from the downloads post and there are a number of transparency options, including an option to revert to stock opaque/black

Alternatively, you could just flash Alexia's awesome theme

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] i_guana:
Yep, there are more and more posts like this showing up in other threads. I have completely lost all tethering capability while using any hack. I get the warning text and then another stating hotspot has been disabled. Sure enough dead. I get the tmo upsell screen every time now even with browser client spoofing. Nothing seems to work and I've been tethering successfully for months on many different ROMs. If it's not affecting you yet, just wait. It's something new they are rolling out. Heads up devs!

Btw, I'm in central Ohio. And yesterday I also received this text:

Free T-Mobile msg: Our 4G LTE covers 150+ mill., now including you! Enjoy incredibly fast downloads & streaming on an LTE phone. Go fast: http://bit.ly/10xsbaC

It's actually been on for weeks here and I was tethering with it just fine. Funny how the same day this message comes across I lose my tethering.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kal-El7:
I know it's difficult to believe this after you took the time to write all that (which, thank you, by the way)...but believe me when I tell you there's a way. Couple ways, actually. No T-Mo upsell for me thus far. Most tethering hacks people talk about involve either TrevE's mod or something else that initiates the built-in Hotspot feature. The key is to tether not using the built-in hotspot feature (at least I don't, but then again I haven't also had issues with Tweaked either...). And...you could also use Easy Tether Pro (which requires a USB cable) - I also have that. It's considered a lan line connection. Upsell page is impossible. Like I said....there are ways. Just make sure you develop yourself an understanding of manipulating the APN file.

Now let's go back to talking about how amazing this ROM is! Did you just happen to get the upsell page while using this ROM? Another member here got the upsell page just like you mentioned while using this ROM. It turned out he only had to make an adjustment in one of the available options in Settings, which resulted in restoring access to the Internet again. And he posted screenshots. After getting rid of that upsell page I haven't seen this member return with any complaints.

Just curious.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
I started to actually - and quickly realized how much work I would need to put into it to get it behaving how I would want it to behave, so I tabled it for the time being, at least until more time becomes available to me... whenever that might be :)
