Lol. I hardly use custom kernels anymore unless I want USB fast charge or need for some other reason such as audio tweaks or call recording. Devices are fast enough now and only advantage to battery life is undervolt which is over rated. Undervolt may get you 30 minutes on a full charge/discharge cycle per the devs in dev only threads.. Custom kernels are way overated now. When devices were slow they made a big difference. S3 has a 1.5 processor. There is no advantage in worthless Quad scores clocked higher than 1.6 so not worth the extra heat and battery drop. Anything over 1.6 is only 100 upgrade in score per point in overclock. Heat increases a lot. :cool:

Was wondering, does anyone know how to slow or turn down the sensitivity on the zoom in the camera?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Yeah the stock camera is way sensitive with that - not sure I'll be able to figure out where such things happen but I'll try :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] gbert15:
Where could I get NEAK 1.9, only see 1.8 and hows the batt life on that combo? Also what scheduler and i/o do u use? Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Gack69:
It's only crazy fast/sensitive when trying to use pinch to zoom in and out. Just use the volume keys and your zoom will be nice and smooth. They added that option (volume keys) I think in 4.1.2 update. Mine was enable by default, maybe double check that your's is too if its not working out of the gate for you.

When you're holding your phone by the edges to take pics, the volume button rests perfectly under your thumb...at least for me it does...making it a breeze to just rock it whatever way I need to get the level of zoom I want.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] PENKO956:
make sure you get the kernel for the n7105 lte.

Since I have the zero wake lag mod on (which keeps ur phone awake even if screen is off)...so I have the pegasusq govenor which only uses one core when screen is off (hotplug). I use the default scheduler which is vr. I get excellent battery life with great performance.

*sorry OP didnt mean to hijack thread. just explaining your Rom with neak kernel is a great combo. :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] egghead221:
What I did was go to the samsung keyboard settings and long press predictive text. From there, you can learn from gmail. Then I just sent myself an email repeating words I wanted it to learn. Not sure if there's an easier way but it worked for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mopandasauce:
Yea, it's pretty sensitive. But I could live with the volume rocker. I feel like it wasn't like this in tweaked 1.6. But overall, the rom has been great! Thanks for all your help!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Yeah it likely wasn't like this on 1.6 as that was a different stock base, so a different camera apk.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] e-motion:
I don't know who came up with the camera exposure at -2 request but having to remember to set it back to 0 every time I use the camera just made me lose a whole day of picture taking because I thought it was at every reboot but wasn't : it's freaking every time the camera app gets purged from memory (non running app).

Thanks but no thanks.

I should add that not every feature request is a good idea in my opinion, like requesting a double press of the home button for access to Google Now when it's already served by a long press of the menu capacitive button...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Yes I know, people don't like it for the most part. Sorry to keep frustrating with it, but there was a similar mod for another phone that most thought worth it so I thought I'd see what people thought. As I said before:

...so it won't be like that soon enough. Sorry again.

Yes, and I agree, though I like to try things out a bit as an excuse to see if I can figure it out. The double press never went to google now fwiw - just google voice search (I mispoke on that originally), which makes sense for those not having s-voice installed.

Again - sorry for the frustrations :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] owlensteed:
I don't think you need apologies for anything dwither. This is your rom and if others want to take that ride it is up to them, i appreciate everything. If they like your rom and Like 0 as a setting for camera Google it and fix it yourself, or Ask you if could make at an option not complain about what they didn't pay attention to.

Sorry to rant, but I know the time and effort you put into this and how much you care about every aspect of YOUR rom.

Thanks again for the best rom in my opinion.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jeibosquez:
so I tried the purple and yellow theme for Tweaked from foeverloco's thread the both break the system transparency for me? Can anyone confirm?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] e-motion:
Man, let me tell you right now, I have nothing but praise for all you do for us on your dime, and I never want to see you apologize to any of us again, and that's an order! :)

My jab was never directed at you in the first place but don't be too nice or we'll drive you crazy with requests, with some of them not making much sense (speaking of, I'm on an HTC one today and Sense has none).

Don't try to please everybody, your Rom has been rock solid, and sometimes some feature requests are better left unfulfilled because, well, to be blunt, they're useless to anybody but the guy who asked for them.

You have a donation coming as soon as I get back on my feet next month.

---------- Post added at 04:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:45 AM ----------

I agree 100% but some requests such as the default exposure constantly back at -2 was just not a good request and most people from what I have seen tend to be on the same page. That said, it's not the end of the world, and Dwith is correcting it in 2.1.

Also, it's everybody's input and Dwith's unshakable will to satisfy all of us that has made this Rom such a work of art. Bad temporary requests are just a little bump in the road to perfection. I've been on many android devices and I've always said it : Tweaked is the best Rom I've ever had the pleasure to run as a daily driver.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Alexia Whitehurst:
I do not really need to flash his theme to see whats probably the issue...

foeverloco added resources.arsc to his framework... BUT he didnt add a holo dark image... This means, he either didn't use tweaked framework as a base for the theme... OR... He used an early version of Tweaked 2.0 that didn't have transparent levels built into framework... Either way... His theme overrides that of Tweaked transparent mod...

GO break break BAM...

Its a pretty easy fix, but being its his theme and i am not one to step on anyones toes, you can sort that out with foeverloco :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mr Impossible:
Wouldn't be a pretty easy fix just swapping out the styles.xml and recompiling?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Alexia Whitehurst:
Since i dont know what else he may have changed in framework-res.apk... Its hard to tell... And since i dont know where his resources.arsc came from... Its also had to say...

Step 1:

(From Tweaked) framework-res.apk -> Decompile

Open framework-res\res\drawable-nodpi and edit background_holo_dark.png & tw_background_holo_dark.png to your liking... Save both and take that entire folder and save it somewhere else...

Now, go into framework-res\res\values and save styles.xml somewhere else...

Step 2:

Now... Using the Tweaked framework-res.apk, take the resources.arsc from the theme and add it to the Tweaked framework-res.apk (so you will delete the one present, and add the one from the theme... Now that framework as...

Step 3:

Decompile that new framework (the one you just added the theme resources.arsc)...

Copy and paste the styles.xml i had you save from Tweaked, into the correct location... Do the same with the drawable-nodpi folder...

Step 4:

Compile...

Once compiled, open with framework-res.apk in dist... With 7-zip or something like that... Extract resources.arsc and drawable-nodpi folder... Once thats done, use 7-zip or something like that to open said theme... Delete theme resources.arsc and add resources.arsc from Tweaked... Then add drawable-nodpi folder to "res"....

Save as...

Flash...

Enjoy...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mr Impossible:
Thanks for that detail explanation! Wasn't expecting all that but yea its not that hard to do.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] luv4greenleaves:
Dwith,

What kernel do you use? I believe you mentioned stock? Is this true?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] prdog1:
Most devs do use stock. It is one of the variables we can control. If works on stock but not on custom kernel then need to post complaints in the kernel devs thread. ;):cool:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] luv4greenleaves:
Okay so my followup question would be is stock king?? I know you guys will flag me and say that's a relative question, but the reason I ask is because I was at work today with my coworker who has the same phone as me (NOTE 2)

There were 3 of us. My coworker turned on his hotspot and let another person use it as well.. (so he had 2 people on his hotspot)

I turned on mine and had only myself. We had this on for 3 hours and were doing the same task. I was assuming his battery would of been WAY less than mine as he had two connections on his hotspot, but the reality was that his battery was at 74 percent while mine was a 64 percent..

Got me thinking.... Is stock king?

I haven't really given stock much of a chance... the minute I got my Note 2, I rooted and flashed custom ROM and kernel (Perseus- no OC, but I am UV'ing)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] prdog1:
Sounds like you got scammed. If he was tethering like that for 3 hours his device would have been dead unless using an extended battery or plugged into something. UV too much can actually use more battery as processor struggles to stay alive. I get great battery life on stock because it is optimized for the device. The main things that kill battery are screen time, rogue app, push notifications and excess syncing by apps. Tether will suck it dry. That is why they recommend to be plugged anytime you tether. :cool:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] luv4greenleaves:
That's what I initially thought first, but he has stock rom and stock battery (he's not the most technically savvy dude).. Our phones were not plugged in either .. I guess there is only one way to find out... Stock it is this weekend.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Coug76:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] prdog1:
These days stock will always get decent battery life. That is what they are tweaked to. :cool:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] BACARDILIMON:
Also what was screen brightness set up as and what apps are running in background. No way to really know. Also how old is ur battery how old is his. Not 2 battery gonna be alike. If your phone last 4-5 hours screen time on then you have kind of maxed out. That's just my 2 cents.

TWEAKED 2.5
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Coug76:
Signal strength can make a big difference as can the transmission technology.

Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] luv4greenleaves:
Screen brightness didn't matter as both phones screen off while using hotspot. Not sure about the apps in the background.. I would think another phone connected to hotspot would drain more battery than apps in the background.

I had full bars on lte and my coworker has 2 bars on lte
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Yeah I tend to use stock kernel, for exactly the reason [MENTION=4538493]prdog1[/MENTION] said - it's something you can control to isolate issues/bugs that bubble to the surface over time. To be honest I didn't see huge differences between most of the custom kernels I ran for any length of time, but this is completely dependent on my particular usage - the cool thing about custom kernels is allowing for extra functionality (e.g. fast charge stuff) or enhanced device-specific tinkering (e.g. gaming), but I'm pretty plain in my usage really.

As far as the tethering competition, I'm not completely sure what the difference would be on drain when tethering one vs. two devices, but the carrier difference could be enough of a variable to not put too much stock into the results you saw. While the aesthetic representation of signal strength may point one direction, differences in consistency of signal strength could play a role - I'm not sure what lte bands at&t runs (nor am I any sort of expert on any of it), but frequency differences could allow one to hold a more consistent signal (my thought process being lower freqs tend to lend themselves to better building penetration, etc.). All that being said - I'm just spouting out things really, I have next to no real knowledge on the topic to consider anything I'm saying as all that credible lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Steve Lazarus:
Way to many variables involved to say with any certainty that the kernel was the difference in how much battery was used over x amount of time while tethering in this instance.

Only way to even come close to a reasonable conclusion through comparison would be to wipe both phones, fresh ROM installs, same apps, then run separate kernels.

I'd be willing to bet you'd still see a variance running the same kernel on both phones. Damn gremlins...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] carlgraser:
CM10 has Gesture to unlock your phone (draw something) it's very cool and if at all possible could that be added to this rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:

I'm telling you guys, pbj kernel is so fast and smooth.

If anyone's owned a s4. Its equivalent to ktoonz kernel.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dirtymindedx:
Been using stock kernel since inception and it has been paying off. I get an over 8hr day on one battery which is something I cant say for most. I play games on my phone very often and it doesnt drain as fast as you would think. This rom has been great and the new mods make this an outstanding choice when seeing all the others these days. Not having wifi-calling in the status bar has been my biggest deal breaker on other roms. I have never been big on asop roms and doubt I can start. THANKS DWITH AND OTHERS!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sshafranko:
Its not all about strikes. Theres a lotta things involved in judging like octagon control. Dont get me wrong I wanted gustaff to win. I like jones but I also like when the belt changes every few defences. Jones proved his point now its someone elses turn.

Jones win do to his kicks and elbows. Only reason. I did not agree however with the unanimous decision. That was bull it should have been split decision. When you are the challenger you have to bring it a lot harder to win that belt than you would in a regular fight. If gustaff threw 5 more kicks in the mix per round I think he had him. Dont forget jones took rounds 4 and 5 and had gustaff almost finished both rounds.

I think jones did win but barely. The judges were definitely wrong in the unanimous decision but thats nothing new. They ruin fights very often these days as do the refs.

Anyway it was the sickest fight ive seen since forest and bonner for the ufc contract and definitely fight if the year. Cant take that away from either one. Gustaff will be back. Taxiera is next in line.

Sent from my SCH-I605 using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] prdog1:
Don't know. It is a hack on S3. I run without hack on Verizon S3 and it turns data on/off auto to complete the send. If you still using the Verizon port of this rom that is why. Need to talk to whoever ported it I would think. T-Mobile smali may have it broke on Verizon. :cool:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Yep, both options are there. Hope you like it, it seems like you've been having quite a time landing on something along the lines of what you are looking for :)

What was the script? Did it just insta bootloop or only when trying to send an mms?

The port is all based on vzw stuff - [MENTION=552429]imnuts[/MENTION] diffed tmo stock and my little mess to figure out what to work into the vzw stock. If I remember right there is some sort of flag somewhere in secmms that will do just as [MENTION=4538493]prdog1[/MENTION] says - it will flip data on real quick to send the mms and then flip it off when done... but to be fair I haven't really looked at the vzw secmms so I can't be positive such a thing is there. Also, to be fair the flag may simply be to look to data when on wifi, and it may not flip data on at all... suppose I could dig around on that one...

It does work when

- data is on also (it'll just use that)

- wifi calling is on

To [MENTION=2650030]BACARDILIMON[/MENTION]s point though, the latter seems ... inconsistent for folks, but I haven't had issues with it for quite some time now

I ended up having to call T-Mobile about it originally before I even started messing w/ anything on the phone as it didn't work w/ stock. I am unsure they really did anything (had to submit some sort of ticket on the issue), but a few days later it started working, and it has been fine ever since.

Yes in the sense that the csc edit will not break anything. However the csc files are really just a repository of flags that touchwiz looks to in deciding how it should function - in other words the file is only good if the target is set up to look for the flag in the file. I have my doubts the aosp mms is set up that way... I'd have to look into that one a bit more specifically to know for sure though.
