I'll let you in on a secret. His threads are always like this. Tweaked and it's users is everything that is good about xda still. I still follow old threads of his from phones i haven't had in a year
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kal-El7:
Honey is sweeter in the mouth than vinegar, as the saying goes. This thread is successful because of how its members are alwasy uplifting, commending, praising, complementing, encouraging each other. It truly is another level of courtesy on here. I don't think anyone who visits ever really leaves. I'm grateful for this community.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Admiral Sir Manley Power:
odd issue...

first thing i would try is wiping data from recovery.

but before doing that, what kernel are you using?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
Yep you're right. You and I both got to hang out in the Droid Charge Tweaked thread. I can't believe how much time I spent there. It was a great community. It's gotten awful quiet over there but they're still good people.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Thanks everyone for all the kind words, but even more so for all the kind actions - it's nice not being the sole focus of the thanks on these last posts, as it's true - everyone on here contributes and it's a great thing and everyone deserves some credit for that :)

Wow - that is an odd issue... I would need some more info (like what mods you have flashed, kernel used, when did it start, any apps/themes/etc you've changed/added/removed, etc.) to really help on this as it's definitely not a common one - that being said, if that happened to me I would likely just factory reset and reflash the rom. If it's STILL there, then I would factory reset and flash the stock ODIN just to make sure it's not some sort of underlying hardware issue. It's a pain, but sometimes it's equally a pain to try and chase down what was done when and how to try and nail down what initially caused the issue :) Keep me posted!

Dwitherell,

If I flash this will it mess anything up and if so, how can we make this compatible with tweaked

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kal-El7:
Guys, I have a problem that I'm not sure if Tweaked is a contributing factor to. Since it involves a kernel, I posted my concerns and testimony on the official kernel thread. But if you can so kindly do me a favor, please read it entirely and let me know if you can produce my issue or if I'm missing something.

You can find it here.

Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Hmm...

- yes it would mess up things on Tweaked

Now how to go about integrating it into Tweaked is interesting... as I can see it not playing nice w/ left (or even center) clock... but that doesn't mean I couldn't make it only an option when using right clock... hmm

- I'll PM him and see what he thinks about me trying to integrate such a feature :) Then I'll just have to figure out what the best approach is for such a thing...

Still acting up eh? I hope someone in the kernel thread can help out (and even more so hope it's nothing I did to cause an issue)!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] moabizzi:
Ive been running the tweaked 2.4 set up with perseus since the day i flashed the rom, even updated to 2.4.1 without an issue. Everything has been smooth (knock on wood). I flashed another script to allow external storage to be swapped, and i also did the google wallet mod. This rom and kernel are amazing together.

If you can write/type down the EXACT process of how and what you flashed (name of the exact file with extension), What carrier your on, what rom you came from, what apps youve restored and how u restored them (could be that the restored file is corrupt), what settings you may have made to your phone, system settings wise, tsm settings wise and kernel wise. ill see if it is different from my way, and I'll see if i can help you.

I always do a clean install, flash in a specific sequence using CWM, and i never reinstall back up'd apps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Well I dug around a bit and found

this

- methinks I'll add such things for folks to try. I'm thinking I'll just keep it to the left of the signal cluster, and I'll throw in an on/off for it and maybe add in a colorizing option for it :) Thanks for pointing this out!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Warrior1975:
Welcome to the wonderful world of Tweaked. This little sub community of XDA is rather unique. It all starts from the dev. Dwith is the friendliest dev out there, his attitude and general demeanor is reflected throughout this thread. If you follow other threads, you will see warnings about asking the same questions over and over, those warnings do absolutely nothing other than create a mob of users looking to "enforce" the devs policies. Ironically, it does nothing but cause more trouble and Internet arguing. I've seen countless posters get bashed, taking up more space than had they answered the question I the first place. Anyway, Tweaked is the best community on XDA. Been seeing a lot of rumors about the Note 3, so bros and sisters, start saving up for the team Tweaked Note 3 fund for our favorite dev and themestress!!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
Well said Warrior. It's definitely better to just answer the question rather than belittling those who asked them. We don't need the bad vibes.

About the Note 3, I'm really thinking I might end up with one. I don't plan on being an early adopter though. I'll let the development community get things settled before I get mine. I'll keep an eye out for the "Developer phone fund". I think that's a good plan.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kal-El7:
I agree 100%. However, I'm also sometimes confused and conflicted by the idea of someone coming on asking same questions over and over again only because they didn't have an ounce of care of doing their due diligence in researching the past posts. I know there are exceptions when it should be forgiven in many cases. Some folks genuinely try and still need help in understanding even if their question was sort of answered previously, and some folks refuse to do the work. I've seen both kinds of mindsets. I've worked in IT beside people like this & we've had disputes. I'm all for answering questions so no one has to dig through so many layers. I'm also for encouraging the idea of proactive investigation/research by blowing through the posts ( if it's not in the thousands). So how do we strike a balance on that? Or is that not necessary, you think? Should you answer the question if you know it's a simple quick answer? I think that's okay. If it's a question asked by a new-comer on something that was addressed over the course of many posts on an on-going technical issue, then I've seen people become hard-pressed to regurgitate all that up again.

Just a curious, that's all. I ask 'cuz I always get bit in other threads when asking a question and people ask why didn't I bother reading through a few posts in which my question was already thoroughly answered. I think of those experiences and wonder. To some degree I can appreciate that lesson 'cuz I've learned to polish my search skills. Benjamin Franklin said, which I've quoted before, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." I personally found that preventing those types of responses thrown my way better than to 'cure' afterwards. This is why I sometimes start a question with a humble, 'If this was already answered before, I apologize in advance for not knowing where it's at....but...blah-yadda-blah...". Sometimes I've seen people take the time to simply answer by referencing post #?, #?, #? to redirect me to an answer so I can follow along the responses. That's cool, too.

Anyway, just curious on what ya thought is all. Not a suggestion. It's better to lean on a crutch with a wounded leg than to stand on said leg. Support is bliss and I appreciate this thread's compassion.

I concur. Doesn't it feel commercial quality? Like, Tweaked could be the default Android ROM in a phone at a T-Mobile store and none-would-be-the-wiser. Don't about you, but that's how I feel.

Solid.

Package File is Invalid

Anyone else getting the Package File is Invalid still? Google Search results for just the past 7 days here shows it's still an on-going issue and Google has acknowledged it and are supposedly working on it. Meanwhile, a lot of your apps are stuck in the "update" status ready to be updated but can't. While some folks have suggested wiping/clearing cache here and there, that's hit-or-miss. Or updating over 4G versus Wi-Fi...hit-or-miss again. But a sure way to be able to update the apps in the meantime is to install this from the Google Play store if you don't already have something similar. Instantly all your apps can now successfully update without challenge upon your approval. I updated my apps over a server in Italy. Oh well...ya gotta do what ya gotta do, right? This temp resolution has worked 100% for those who've tried it.

Okay, back to Tweaked. Just thought this was important to share with all my family here.

Tweaked Nandroids Restore Quicker Now...

I created a nandroid of a previous Tweaked setup I had, over 4 gigs in size with hundreds of apps in the nandroid. I restored this nandroid just now and TWRP shows it took only 356 seconds to restore, 5 minutes and 56 sec. That's a record fast time for my huge nandroids. I'm seeing these nandroids restore a bit faster as newer versions of Tweaked are released.

Is it possible that Dwith can be doing something that makes Tweaked more optimal for these restores or is that something on the TWRP side? I opted for the database tweak during the Basic Installer, but I'm uncertain if that has anything to do with it. Just curious.

---------- Post added at 11:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:37 AM ----------

On your clean install, did you do a destructive wipe? Completely formatted everything? Did you restore/install apps? If so, would you consider doing clean wipe and not install anything for a day or so? Would you consider restoring a factory images/stock rom and go unrooted for a day or so to eliminate the possibility of a hardware malfunction if nothing else proves favorable? I'm on my fourth Note 2 with my 3rd one causing audio issues through the 3.5mm jack, so it CAN happen. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
That's definitely a TWRP thing - nothing I did that's for sure!

[MENTION=2838852]hkfan[/MENTION] - was there anything you had installed/flashed/restored/altered-in-any-way that coincides with then you starting seeing the issue reemerge?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] fireishott:
I poked around trying to figure out how to do that but my brain isnt wrapping around it....in the mentioned folder there is a TW status bar xml and a status bar xml cant figure which one to edit...so I will just wait patiently for a zip :D

And the small request of the old 3g icon to match the H+ when using the accurate data mod would be perfect

Your the best man
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Yeah I already got the traffic thing in, seems to be working fine - though the time frame used to generate values is a bit tough to figure out... I poked around a bit but haven't come up with anything yet as to how to make that behave (in my head) better... still neat though!

I totally forgot about the the 3g thing... you mean not using the T-Mobile looking 3G icon for the accurate data mod thing, right?

EDIT: I took a look and it seems the other already-included option available is a 3G+ icon... not sure if folks want that, or perhaps you can point me to an icon that would work better that you know of?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] eZdubzitmk4:
Rename the hosts file to hosts.bak then rename the hosts.orig to just hosts
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kal-El7:
Doesn't the OTA 2.4.5 zip already make this modification to the hosts.orig file?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] fireishott:
I cant seems to find it but it is the icon from 4.1.1 I looked in the system ui and all I could find was the 3G+ and H, I would be cool with a 3G+ not sure about the masses...I just have a weird OCD about the fonts not matching. All I did was rename the current 3G+ and it works but I am not sure is that is correct way to do it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
I'll take a peek at a 4.1.1 SystemUI to see if I can find it then. And that's a fine way to do it - like most things there are many ways to achieve the desired outcome :)

What's this 2.4.5 you speak of...?? ;) That one won't see the light of day, but 2.5 sure seems like it's getting closer now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] fireishott:
Here is a screen of the 3G+ does not look to bad

Ignore my wallpaper it is from the recent system ui mod lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kal-El7:
I got my numbers mixed up. My apologies. Can't wait for 2.5 to come out, but in all honesty all is so well for me right now. Will there be anything with the whole tethering apn implemented in 2.5? Just curious.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
So Tweaked comes with an ad blocking hosts file? I didn't know that. Does it update regularly or is it a good thing that I always use Adfree Android?

Anyone have any idea why my camera menu seems laggy? running included stock kernel, everything else seems perfect and very fast. I did clear the cache and restart etc. The menu works, just seems to lag in camera and video, it's also the Stock camera. I do also have the nexus camera installed. I can take pics etc with no issues.

It's not really a big deal, just curious and I'm not doing another fresh install as everything works so well. This flash was a clean flash also, no mods other than what was included. I do run Greenify and xprivacy, but I checked them and nothing from the camera that I can think of is selected.

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Noellenchris
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Hmm... so this is the Settings menu yes? Where you can set Exposure, shutter sound, etc. etc. right? Or is it any of the menus launched from the icons on the right side?

Meanwhile, I think I'm going to push the plain old stock camera apk to see if I can notice any differences...

Yes its the menu buttons on the left. Thanks, I'm off to bed for now.

Hello and thank you for this wonderful ROM.

I seem to be having an issue setting up my VPN. I apologize if this has already been answered but I have searched the thread and was unable to find a solution.

When I go to settings, and then more settings and then VPN, it asks the following:

"Enter password for credential storage". I'm not sure what password it is asking for. I am just trying to set up my initial VPN connection. Is there an option I didn't select during the initial basic install? Any help to rectify this would be great appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kal-El7:
Such a gentleman. I love this thread. Someone please help my bro, here.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Do you have a secure lockscreen set up? I believe that is what its referring to - I only say that as I did not and when I tried to do what you described it told me I had to set one up first. Hope that helps!

Also - I found that 3g icon hehe -
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] James62370:
ok... That was a little strange. I had to setup the "High Security" lockscreen in order to enter the screen to create my initial VPN connection. Then I switched it back to Pattern Lock and it no longer asks for that password security credential.

Anyhow... I am connected to my VPN for now. Thank you for the quick response, will update my findings as I continue to use this great ROM.

Essentially it appears to be an iptables/firewall issue, which makes complete sense given the behavior it exhibits (can connect to HotSpot and ping to the gateway address of the phone, but nothing past it).

Haven't yet tried the above-mentioned fix myself, but wanted to share.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] luv4greenleaves:
I found a very easy work around that seems to work.. I have tried it 10 times now with no issues. Connect your computer or whatever to hotspot normally when on LTE.. Your device will be connected but no Internet will be accessible at this point. Go into apn settings, click on the apn that says tmobile tether. Your data connection will drop, and the apn will automatically switch back to Tmobile US LTE once the LTE connects again. Now check your device... It's magically working at LTE speeds.... Amazing right?
