Alright team, help me figure this one out. Flashed the latest tweaked when it came out on the 29th or so. Everything running great, stock kernel, latest modem. Took a road trip up the coast on Sunday not issues with the phone other than spotty T-Mobile service. I work from home so I am on WiFi 90% of the time on my phone. Left the house to have lunch with my wife and one of her friends today and when I got to the restaurant I had no service. I did a reboot after checking to make sure airplane mode was not on or something else strange like data being turned off. Everything was right, phone reboots, get 4 bars and 4G for like 30 seconds then 4G icon goes away quickly followed by the 4 bars. Just have the circle with the line through it. When I got home I booted to recovery and wiped Cache and Dalvik to see if that would fix it. Still the same issue, connects to T-Mobile for a bit and then acts like there is no network.

My wife has a Samsung blaze on tweaked and is sitting right next to me with no issue. Any ideas?

Update: Settings...More Settings...Wifi Calling....Connection Preferences had Never use Cellular Network checked. Not sure how that happened. Had not even been in the settings menu in days with no issues. Worked fine this morning even.

i doubt that it is a rom issue, this rom is great been running it sense it cam out love it. i would suggest you flash a diff rom to test and see if its not you phone or imei lost or anything, if it works on another rom then maybe just try a fresh install and see if it wokrs then.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Steve Lazarus:
lol, hate it when stuff that happens !! Glad you figured it out!! :laugh:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] gshadow325:
Honestly, i passed this rom many many times because of a few things.

*It didnt have screen shots of the rom and features.

*it required reading and editing a file manually

I didnt know what i was getting since there were no pictures, so i read what was included in the rom. I read the how to, like 3 million times just to make sure, i was not going to have a expensive paper weight. I dont know what the hell i am doing, thats why i keep looking for Aroma installer roms. point and shoot. Even after reading and then modifing the build file. i was still confused as hell. then i stumbled on modificationator, (again after reading the first post again for the millionth time it memntioned it) i was so happy about it because i could flash things, remove things, do nothing...it was great! coming from the other popular Jedi roms that required a whole new flash to add and remove stuff.

In hindsight, i was scared. scared to ask questions. scared being the noob. BUT AND I CAPALIZE. When it was up and running and i saw how well it ran and everything i wanted in a rom, I SHOWED MY APPRECIATION and looked for the DONATION button. I appreciate what [MENTION=4041997]dwitherell[/MENTION] did, and i rarely donate because many roms have 95% of the stuff working.

If you say download this, then this, then this and do this to this file and you will get this(pictures and features). i think more people will be using this rom.

Reading is intimidating because at least for me, i was worried i may fubar something and my phoen will not work anymore.

Me and 3 of my friends are glad we made the switch from jedi master.

FYI: if you put in the first post that you have wifi calling working and group text....activity will go up. There is just jedi master with wifi calling
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Alexia Whitehurst:
*Look at the last post under the OP... The third or fourth down, it does have screen shots if you click the button :)... We will get more made to show off TSM...

*You don't need to manually create the installation of aroma, it's just one way to go about it. The basic installer does this for you, to help those people either that don't want to manually edit or those not comfortable with it.

I can understand that you were scared of flashing something you couldn't see, being somewhat new to things. What you should know is that most all Samsung devices are extremely hard to hard brick. Odin is always there for those that have major issues, or for those that really want to start completely clean. Short of flashing the wrong bootloader to your Note 2, your going to be just fine. If your not comfortable with Odin, I strongly suggest making yourself comfortable, as one day it will come in handy! Better to know it now, then while your stressing that you have a paper weight.

Not that I need to, but I will loop back around with dwitherell on making some OP changes to help folks out. Odds are he is already doing this, as he kicks serious ass!

Enjoy Tweaked, if you need anything at all feel free to ask. If you have a UI (theme) request for Tweaked, I'd be the one to talk to... All ROM request the man will handle.

And just to make it clear again, no I am not a Tweaked team member, just work with dwitherell on things for all of you. All credit for the ROM and all the UI stuff I built and he added, goes to dwitherell...

I am only making suggestions because this rom rocks, the guys in this thread are supportive, dev is available and not spread across 20 million other devices(i just dont know how others do it) and unofficial tweaked "team members" available to help.

Things that i know notice that should be highlighted

disabling blocking icon

diabling low battery nag-i mean notification. especially useful with guys with extended batteries. 14%< can last for hours on end

status bar tweaks

battery icon tweaks

notification tweaks and color changes

smart rotation icon disable

working port of sgs4 group text

not yet released-black themed text messaging with smart installer

awesome modificationator aroma installer that is second to NO ONE

wifi calling working

wifi tether working

oh yeah, big one lots of people like me dont know what UVBMB4 and MD1 is, unless i researched it and read up on it

put words in it like, "i took stock touchwiz and debloated it and modified it". i know what "stock" means, i still confused sometimes @ what aosp aokp twrp cwm abd cbd nbc wkrp t889 ufo fbi csi, you get the idea

I am just you a vantage point of a noobie to this rom. by no means am i new to flashing. I had numerous flashed/rommed/themed phones starting from Tmobile MDA, Tmobile Shadow, Tmobile Tilt, Tmobile Tilt2, HTC HD2, HTC Sensation, Galaxy Tab, Galaxy Tab 10.1, Windows 6.1, 6.5, then Android development on the HTC HD2 was exciting to follow and be a part of. Now finally new to me in the last 2 months Samsung Note and S4 flashing. I have been around the block, am i am NOT ashamed to say i have bricked a few devices in my time too. There is no more combing craigslist anymore for a replacement device like the good old days thanks to IMEI blocking.

:)

see this is what i am talking about.

Recieving text messages late i wiped cache and data for messages app...did anyone else experience this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Thanks for the feedback :)

In the spirit of discussion - some counter thoughts to your thoughts:

- The screenshots were hidden away like that by request actually, as some didn't like how "large" it made the posts (lots of scrolling was the complaint I believe) - the hide tag stuff just gave people the option to see them instead of forcing it. I know most roms don't do this though, but to be fair I've never considered myself a developer sort and tend to tinker with about anything I can - including the setup/framework of posts it seems lol

- I am going to be honest - I struggle on figuring out where it is that people are derailing on reading and missing the important info, and while that struggle could be ameliorated via cliffs-note-style instructions (which I'm pretty sure I will add in some way actually) I am still torn as I fear that people will then largely skip all the other stuff I wrote out that I feel has importance/relevance/worth/etc. That being said - people missing the fact that you need to prepare something if you don't want just the default settings makes me fear the point moot... if the inclination is already there to not read offering a cliffs-notes summary of things isn't going to do any harm lol

- Another thing I struggle with is the idea of "selling" (this isn't a great term for this, but I couldn't think of one that really fit any better) the setup to folks via the short-and-sweet highlight list (though I may blatantly borrow your list and work it in somewhere) - I always thought that stuff was better suited for the changelog but I see your point. It's akin to "buzzword" usage - people quickly and easily understand it as opposed to being turned off by technical info. I am not sure how I want to approach this yet... I feel the technical info of base build (for example as you mentioned it) is important and I don't want to remove such things, but it seems the theme of this all is to figure out how to offer both - the technical info for those willing to wade through it all and read, and the distilled-down-to-the-point easy-to-read take-home message...

Seems I have some thinking to do :)

Keep the feedback coming, and if you don't want to post your comments here (for example stating where you got lost in the OP, what you didn't understand, etc.) PM me - the more info (and detail as to how things could improve, like what gshadow325 did here) the better!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Define "late"? What is it exactly that is happening, and has this always been happening (since you flashed the rom anyway)? What Mms are you using?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] rail205:
To funny does no one read anymore. There was no Aroma installer. How do people just flash stuff not reading anything about it at all.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] gshadow325:
I know you not selling your rom, lol. A edit to the first post could be a resize of screen shots in panoramic mode. Since every tw rom is the same just scouts of the awesome tweaks! You can do a quick start up guide. Get this, do this, then do this and you have this, your stock setup will have everything installed. Then they can read and see how to un install them lol. But your modificationator is a great tool. I was lucky nothing went wrong it worked on first shot since I was scared to mess it up. Read and reread over and over like 3x.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] carlgraser:
Thanks I got the live wallpaper working. Since I did install the rom from the main download and not the basic is there anything else I'm missing? Everything seems to be working great this looks like a very cool rom I just hope I have everything now
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Yeah as I said "selling" isn't the greatest term to use there, and I know you weren't implying that I was :) I'll chat w/ Alexea at some point and see if there's a better way to handle the screenshot idea - it's a good point, especially showing some of the menu screens in TSMParts and what not.

Also - to be honest I didn't think the modificatinator thing would be such a hit - I almost feel bad for giving it such a goofy name now lol. Drawing more attention to it's utility is definitely a good idea.

Pretty much anything that you would be missing you can get from the modificatinator zip (link is in the same post as the main downloads) :)

Its an option in the basic install (aroma)if you don't have it flash the modificatinator and select it

Your first post is very overwhelming for a beginner. after i got into this rom it all makes sense but before...OMG i was like info overload.

Your modificationator is really great idea, i know i love it and if you didnt see....i tried 99% of the stuff out there as you can see in my signature :P
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Alexia Whitehurst:
It's in the modificator zip.... Just flash the zip and select to add...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Warrior1975:
I'm a little late to this discussion as I fell asleep early for once last night. Personally, I think the first post should remain as is. It's a fairly simple process that requires all of 5 minutes to read. If you can't figure out how to install this ROM, you probably shouldn't be flashing your device. Not to mention, Dwith's time is much better spent developing, as opposed to this. Just my .02.

Am I overlooking this or is there no way to change the color of the vertical battery? Right now it is green but I want it to be white...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
No you aren't missing it. Those sorts of icons aren't color-change-on-the-fly friendly unfortunately - to change the color you'd need to swap out all the relevant images with new (in this case white) ones.

You jog my memory, but wasn't there an Xposed Module that allowed you to change batteries, colors, icons, etc? I could have sworn I installed it (but not activated it). Let me double check. If so, I "think" this will allow you to enjoy different battery mods. That AOSP theme seems like it might do the trick as well. They have a Tweaked one right on that post. Nice...I didn't know this was out there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Warrior1975:
I agree with almost everything you said, except that 90%/10%. It's probably closer to 99%/1%, unfortunately.

sgh-TWEAKED-889©
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kal-El7:
lolol...I ALMOST typed that like how you just said it, but then repented and went with 90/10. But yes, I feel ya, bro. 99/1 is more along the lines. I'm glad you said it first, though. lol

By the way, let's get back to Tweaked right quick and something I found out and shared with Dwitherell in PM. I recently thought there was something wrong with my setup. Every time I engaged in a phone conversation with someone on my phone and I switched on the speakerphone, the receiving end always stated that they had great difficulty understanding me. I heard statements like I sounded "choppy", "muffled" or that my volume was too loud, forcing the receiving end to have to lower their handset volume all the way where I still sounded too loud (to the point that my voice could be heard by surrounding folks).

I became suspicious of anything I may have installed recently and one thing that popped out in my mind that made sense was kernel and kernel modification software. In my case: Perseus and STweaks. BINGO. STweaks adjusts precisely 22 audio settings within your Note 2. Microphone Gain, the whole 9 yards.

Anyone experience this?

Just wanted to let you know.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] j@vier33:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kal-El7:
Perseus

Someone asked me a couple days back in PM if I thought Perseus on Tweaked did alright with the battery. I'll answer out here in case anyone else is curious:

Right now: 14.27 hours of unplugged with 5 hours of straight screen-time with 51% battery remaining left, which would cap out at 28.54 hours (29 hrs) of being unplugged with 10 hours of screen-time usage and Wi-Fi turned on the whole time on Tweaked 2.3. And that's with me forgetting to underclock to 1.2GHz and undervolt to 800,000uv's, which I normally do to lengthen my battery. So I'm on stock 1.6GHz.

---------- Post added at 12:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:53 PM ----------

Agreed.

Yeah, [MENTION=4393248]j@vier33[/MENTION] there's this amazing theme by [MENTION=3220157]Alexia Whitehurst[/MENTION] called "Echo" found here. Someone just recently posted this Theme here, which Dwitherell is on the credits of and found to be on Tweaked on post #2. I recommend trying Echo as soon as you can.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kal-El7:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] AkaTheMacDaddy:
Perseus is a pretty sweet kernel and has a million sTweaks. I have experienced a few similar audio issues when I tried it back in the day. One in particular that was annoying was when I had my music rocking and I was blasted out by a hangout notification. I could never figure out how to turn the damn thing down and that's because sTweaks wouldn't let me. There wasn't and option that I saw anyway.

Perseus in my opinion is a great kernel made by a great Dev but I'm a Trinity "FanBoy" Now Haha!"

Does lte rollout in progress decrease 4g coverage? Anyone know?

I'm getting a lot less 4g where I normally has it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kal-El7:
where do I send the flowers to? lol =)

---------- Post added at 02:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:13 PM ----------

I apologize for asking, but could you clarify a little more on what your asking? If I understand you correctly, I believe LTE is supposed to fall back to HSPA+ whenever LTE drops off the radar. At least, that's what T-Mobile wants to eventually roll-out globally. So that when LTE doesn't come through, your 4G falls back to another type of 4G. I'll be in a neighborhood where LTE may have something like 2 signal bars and, right there and then, I'll manually switch over to HSPA+ and get something like all bars lit up. By default I have LTE disabled, anyway, as I don't need the massive 15Mps upstream. The downstream for me remains the same on either LTE or HSPA+...in the 20's downstream. 20+ down on non-LTE and 27 or so down on LTE. So not really needed for me at this juncture.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] AngryDinosaur:
There is currently no lte for me yet just 4g. Pretty decent 4g coverage too, but last week my 4g coverage went to poop.now I get no 4g where I usually would be at during the day So I thought maybe they are currently rolling out lte so it decreased the 4g coverage or something

Even when I'm outside I can't get 4g, my town is not even in the middle of nowhere, so it's frustrating

---------- Post added at 03:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:25 PM ----------

I was on mb4 modem when the coverage tanked, on md1 now but still the same. I don't think it's the Rom, could it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kal-El7:
**scratches head**

I've had to exchange my phone a couple times because of similar behavior. If you were to try going to the most updated Stock without rooting at all...would that yield any revelation?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] AngryDinosaur:
I still get 4g and lte near the industrial park, maybe it's just coverage, I'll try a different Rom when I get home, I'll be back tweaked :(

Maybe it's bad coverage in downtown of my town now, we'll see

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Steve Lazarus:
Another possibility to throw a positive spin on it... Maybe they're doing some work on the towers in your area, getting them LTE ready, thus having a negative impact on your service.... eh...eh...like that idea don't ya? Could be !!!!! :good:
