It's for the Note2, there is just some note3 chatter going on. I really don't plan on posting anything for another few weeks for the note 3, but perhaps I should listen to some earlier suggestions and put up a thread in the general note3 section. I resist doing so as I fear it portrays things as being closer to release than they actually are though...

As I think on this - let's all do our best to stay on note2 topics. I'm guilty of this as much as anyone, so I will try my best as well :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] prdog1:
There is a General and a Q&A section in the Note 3 and Note 2 forums. Any member can start a thread in either section. A Tweaked chat thread can easily be started in the General section by anyone that chooses to start it. :cool:

Just a heads up: leak out for att n2, so the time for us should be near.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] AngryDinosaur:
Hopefully, but Samsung and T-Mobile were never good at releasing updates in a timely manner

Making a new phone was probably easier
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bruce lee roy:
True, but I expect an expedited release this time. Especially if they plan for the smart watch to cleanup in the coming holidays. Plus they appear to be moving at a very good pace.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sshafranko:
The att leak has knox also so im pretty sure tmo will too. Im guessing shouldnt be an issue tho since its been figured out on the newer devices (dont wanna mention any) haha

Ok I finally checked out this Knox thing. From what I read it seems like using it is optional. Does it affect our ability to use custom roms and kernels?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bruce lee roy:
Not at all. Only really effects n3 users. Here's an informative post about it:

It will affect N2 users once the 4.3 software releases. :cool:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kal-El7:
No one is gonna think you're closer to a N3 release than what you actually are just cuz you opened a "coming soon" thread. Did you research that consensus by survey? No? Then OPEN THE THREAD! lol

I say that with love and compassion. Hahaha....

For clarity, my recent post did relate to and made reference to the N2 Tweaked settings. =)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bruce lee roy:
How so?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] prdog1:
It will have the same Knox built in to update. There is apparently a way to remove it as it was done on International S4. :cool:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bruce lee roy:
Will it effect our ability to flash roms and kernels?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] prdog1:
Have heard it is bootloader and kernel dependent. Would think non-secure kernel would activate Knox. On International S4 they removed from the actual Odin Image to bypass it. If don't remove ahead of time will for sure trip the flash counter that at this time can't be reset and voids warranty. :cool:

Hey guys! I'm really enjoying this rom over others so far. Only problem is that the android system is beating down my battery. Is this a normal with Tweaked or is it a problem on my end?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Warrior1975:
Not normal for Tweaked. Check your apps, better battery stats should help.

Also (last N3 bit I swear) thanks to [MENTION=5108383]sshafranko[/MENTION] there is now a

general thread

over on the Note 3 T-Mobile forums so we can keep this thread Note 2 focused :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bruce lee roy:
Interesting. So it sounds like a rom and kernel can be flashed but doing so will void the knox Warranty unless certain precautions are taken. I wonder if the s4 progress was made possible by the absence of the eFuse found in the n3... I would much rather have warranty void on sw than on hw.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] prdog1:
E-Fuse is on all chips. It is basically like a thermal fuse. That is why they could never unlock Moto phones. Came pre-blown. They burned the one on the bootloader. Knox just carriies the code to blow the fuse. They could blow and lock bootloader if wanted to. On International they removed Knox completely from the Odin Image so it was never flashed. :cool:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bruce lee roy:
If what you say is correct, I may be waiting a little longer to update to 4.3 Thank you Dwit for Tweaked

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] hanjin1:
This is my first time trying tweaked and I was wondering when setting the statusbar to transparent, is there a way to change the statusbar icon colors? example, the voicemail icon, text message icon... I'm just wondering because on transparent status bar when using certain apps the statusbar goes white and i can't see any of the notifications at top.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
No there isn't unfortunately - the clunky methods I implement elsewhere to do such things (like the toggles) have some pretty significant limits making implementation across the wide variety of notification icon types rather problematic. Fwiw - in my experience having the statusbar just semi-transparent is a decent compromise.

Everything is working great, but once in a while I'm experiencing severe lag... My phone is going very slow.. Have to reboot to fix... Anyone else have this issue. Currently on Perseus kernel and no uv or oc or uc...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sshafranko:
Its not the rom. Most likely Perseus. Just guessing here as I had the same experience with Pers. I tryed tweaking it for weeks and ut just didnt agree with my phone. It lagged like hell for me especially visible while browsing, scrolling through pages and my keyboard would lag. Flashing a different kernel solved it for me. Ill save you the troubke experimenting with kernels. If you dont need any of the custom features a kernel offers stick with the stock one.

Can someone please help me with this issue? I have been having this issue across all ROMs but I like tweaked the most and want to keep it. I have a T-Mobile US T889 phone and ever since I stopped using a stock image /w root I'm having an issue where I'm not receiving text messages when the screen is off, nor is my gmail syncing my emails.

Please help!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sshafranko:
If you are already using tweaked do a backup in recovery and then flash the theme. It takes 10min. If it works awesome if not you will know most likely immediately. Then boot into recovery you may have to battery pull and restore your back up. Done. If you cant do this for some reason than give me a day or 2 and ill try it and let you know.

There's a pretty good chance it might not. Tweaked has a lot of customizations built in that are not in other roms. I heard themes can mess with stuff in TSM Parts.

Or you can try Franko's advice. He's real smart.

Yes Sir. I've tried multiple ROMs that were TW and multiple that were simply AOSP. So 4.1.2, and 4.3 roms. I even accidentally flashed a 4.2.2 AOKP ROM.(for the Note 2, of course). I am not back to the stock Odin recovery with a root injected stock image but i'm still suffering from the same problem =/. This really sucks. Is there a way to completely wipe EVERY trace of an older Android install off of the phone?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sshafranko:
What stock rooted image are you using? Did you try odin back to totaly stock bare bones stock as if you picked uo the phone today?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dajinn:
I'm using the one in the sticky under this forum, the latest one. I haven't tried the total stock bare bones one yet because the mirror is so slow, it's currently at 641 / 895 MB downloading and has about an hour left. It's the 4.1.2 June release.

I'm attaching a logcat to this post as well, from when I had the screen on, locked it, turned the screen on, and unlocked the phone.

I just realized the logcat is about 58k lines long, so I'd start from the bottom and go up since that was the most recent phone activity of when I actually went through the motion described earlier.

Update ??? thanks im rocking this but New is better Plus My Battery Sucks so today i tried jedi the new version20 and i ran that thing hard and im at 80% still after heavy downloads and net use either way thanks this is mt Daily but just wondering if you got something in the WORKS please advise!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
I am somewhat confused here - was this meant for me? It was bundled with a quote by stueycaster so I wasn't quite sure, but it seems like it was meant for me.

From my understanding then, you were running tweaked but had crappy battery life, then tried the newer Jedi X20 release and currently have better battery life... so you want to know if there will be an update to tweaked in the near future?

Assuming I am following correctly -

- I have done 2 small things to 2.5 since I posted this... I am ridiculously content with where it's at (rare for me to say), and I suspect that a 4.3 OTA from T-Mobile will be here in the next month or so, leaving me inclined to let this sit until that time. To be honest even if it wasn't on the horizon, I'm not a fan of small updated-some-apks-and-added-things-in-aroma updates, which is about all that I would have at this point. This WILL be updated (not immediately of course, it will take some time) after the 4.3 OTA comes down the pipes though, so how near future the Tweaked update will be somewhat depends on T-Mobile at this point :)

- At no point in any of my updates have I ever done anything (knowingly anyway) to influence battery life. I leave that to the kernel wizards, as that is a far more effective means of eliciting such changes, and that level of tinkering is way above my pay grade.

- X20 is based on the international build and is bundled with [MENTION=4488450]ptmr3[/MENTION]s kernel - unless you were running Tweaked with the same kernel version that comes with X20 it's a bit tricky to make battery life comparisons unfortunately, at least in a sense of difference-is-based-on-rom, as kernels tend to drive this more.

- When you say your battery sucks (or sucked I suppose now), did it always suck or had it begun to suck over time? Did you notice anything unusual in battery stats that might indicate something was amiss in terms of an app that was being a bit overactive or the phone not "sleeping" as it should?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sshafranko:
I had the same problem as you and started jumping roms just like you thinking the rom was my problem so I can relate. After countless hours of researching I found that instead of leaving It up to the rom devs to figure out my battery life issues I could do it myself and I enjoyed it for what its worth. Rogue apps and phone searching for service constantly are your main culprits in battery performance issues albeit you dont have any kernel enhancements geared towards performance.

Download Better battery Stats and check your Partial kernel wake locks and your Alarms. This will without a doubt give you an idea what is sucking you battery dry quicker than expected. Visit the BBS thread and learn how to post a dump and someone will review it for you within a day. When I say post a dump I mean from BBS app youll see it in the settings, not the one from your bathroom.

Also top battery draining apps are Maps, Facebook, and Google services. If your a social butterfly there is plenty of information on fixing Face book to minimize wakelocks in the BBS thread. Turn off all location services and there are 5 places to do so I beleive. Adjust your syncing intervals which is a big one in Facebook.

You can download Greenify and hibernate misbihaving apps, although this is debatable as to if it actualy has any effect on battery savings but you can makr your own decision on that with real time testing as I did.

These are some of the things I did after realizing that roms have a little but very little to do with battery life. Good luck hope you get it sorted out and someone is always here to help you if need be. Thats what makes Tweaked even more awesome.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kal-El7:
Quick question, and if it's been already addressed on here, my apologies. In Tweaked, only in versions I've used (if I remember correctly), I've never been able to get Wi-Fi Direct to work. In most cases I'm referring to tapping two Note 2's together (or an S4,S3) to transfer a photo or something. This misbehavior happens if I initiate NFC/S-Beam first but works alright when it's initiates from another device first. Outbound S-Beam doesn't work for me but in-bound does and once that connects alright THEN I can send out a pic via S-Beam from my phone.

1. I initiate S-Beam: Nothing.

2. Another device initiates S-Beam: My Note 2 receives the pic alright.

3. After #2 establishes connection by way of my Note 2 receiving the pic I can then reciprocate the same function.

If I use the app Superbeam....I can initiate S-Beam transfers just fine.

Weird, right? I've never mentioned this because I've always forgotten to do so, as I wasn't always needing to use S-Beam. Once in a while I would stumble over this by way of the occasional incident where someone wanted me to transfer something to them.

Now that I have a Note 3 and coordinate my two devices together, I'm constantly reminded, as I like to transfer things between the two devices.

Anyone seen this before with Tweaked Note 2 in any version? Keep in mind, using a 3rd party app lets me do this, but that same 3rd party app has to also be on the receiving device.

Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
I just did a little test (I can do that now that I have a note 3 as well!) and I was able to initiate an sbeam transfer from my note 2 to my note 3. To be fair it took a few tries to take (not sure why - possibly due to my unfamiliarity with the mechanics behind the process, who knows lol), but the note 2 was the initiator of it all anyway. Strange that it always works when the path is established the other way though. Any others have similar outcomes?

EDIT: For full disclosure given what stueycaster mentioned below - I sent a pic and used the stock gallery to do so.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
My experiences with S-Beam went like this. The biggest culprit was my Otterbox. I have to take it off. Then it can only originate from stock apps. It needs stock music player, gallery and stock files management (My Files).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] anoninja118:
Might seem like a dumb question but I am new to the t-mo note 2 (had a VZW note 2 earlier this year though and ran Imnuts/Dwitherells Tweaked work on that)... the bootloader is unlocked so I'm assuming I can just Odin a recovery and flash the zip of this ROM in there and thats it? thanks in advance
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] harpocrates:
Do you have the galaxy gear smart watch?

I'm curious if everything will work ok when you release the next version of tweaked with 4.3, because I have the Samsung dongle for All share cast and it won't work if I'm running anything but stock (I have tried every Rom out there and it just goes me a message saying all share cast will end now.. looks like it will work and then doesn't). So I'm wondering if Samsung will pull the same crap with their smart gear.

If anyone has the dongle or smart watch please let me know.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
I think some stuff is getting misquoted somehow.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kal-El7:
Huh. That's strange that the phone required addressing an external case and initiating only from stock apps. Long pressing any photos and selecting "Share" gives me the Wi-Fi Direct option....it should work fine. My girl's Note 2 was never, ever rooted, so I'll test over the weekend initiating S-Beam from her stock, unrooted firmware using a NON-stock gallery like QuickPic and then I'll do the same from my rooted Note 2.

I'll report on that on Sunday or maybe Saturday. =)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
I hadn't tried the way you mentioned til I read your post. I've been using the touch the backs together and tap the file to S-Beam method. I could never transfer stuff with either Poweramp or Root Explorer. It had to be the stock Android music player and My Files. And I could never S-Beam through my Otterbox. I have to take it off.

I seriously doubt you'll get it to work with QuickPic. I think you're going to need the stock Photo Gallery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kal-El7:
Interesting, my dear Watson. I shall try stock gallery. Thanks so much. =)

---------- Post added at 07:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:58 PM ----------

Also...QuickPic supports NFC beam, do you think that it might be the ROM, possibly? Or that root makes it work weird? I'm still gonna try the stock app. =)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
Actually I just removed my phone case and tried to transfer a pic with both the stock gallery and the 4.3 gallery. I don't have QuickPic. Anyway it worked fine with stock but Wifi Direct isn't an option in 4.3.

---------- Post added at 08:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 PM ----------

Actually I've never used NFC Beam. I use S-Beam between my wife's GS3 and my GN2. I've also done a few Bluetooth transfers.

Update: I think the limitations are all about S-Beam between compatible devices. NFC probably works by other means. There are a number of NFC devices but only GS3, GS4, GN2 and GN3 do S-Beam right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sshafranko:
Beam me up Stuey!!

Sent from my SM-N900T
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kal-El7:
Cool.

Well, you see...when I turn on the S-Beam in Settings (both in N2 & N3) the NFC Beam gets toggled on by default for me. Both toggles are active.

I have the N2 and N3 side by side here with the N3 rooted but never flashed a custom ROM, ever, nor a custom kernel. N2 has the awesome Tweaked 2.5.

Here's what I just discovered a moment ago and can be produced 100% of the time.

1. Go into Gallery in N2 and N3 and open up a photo.

2. Select "Share" options to share via one of the pre-selected optiones, which Wi-Fi Direct is always an option.

3. From one phone (either N2 or N3, doesn't matter) initiate the Wi-Fi Direct transfer. Phone then switches to the "scanning" interface where it's scanning for a compatible NFC/S-Beam device with said feature enabled. However, the initiated device can't find a compatible receiving device. Now, while the 1st initiated device is scanning for a compatible NFC/S-Beam device to Wi-Fi Directly transfer a photo, **IF** I THEN take the second device (the receiving device) and pretend to initiate a Wi-Fi Direct transfer of its own at this precise moment, then BOTH devices SEE EACH OTHER after the fact. So, if I take the N2 to transfer a photo to N3, it can't find the N3. I tell the N2 to scan. Right in this moment I take the N3 and pretend to do the same thing while the N2 is scanning at that very moment. When I then tell the N3 to initiate a scan, I launch the scan then INSTANTLY I stop the scan. Having done this allows the N2 AND N3 to populate the other phone's device ID name in the other phone's screen and asks me to connect.

This process is exactly identical the reverse with the N3 doing the first initiating while the N2 pretends to attempt a scan (but then canceling said scan immediately) so that the N3 can see the N2.

Either way you initiate it, the results are the same, literally, 1,000% of the time. I can bet money on this if I were a betting man (which I'm not).

So there you have it....I'm wondering if this consistent result would work out the same if I were to have my lady's never-before-rooted N2 or trying this between my N3 and my Dad's N3.

I'm wondering if my N2 is the culprit.

Another possible culprit - any one of my bazillion 3rd party apps installed.

*scratches chin*

Good night, y'all...I'm dead sleepy.
