Oy! Did you really flash this ROM without reading the OP first? The whole kit-n-kaboodle is explained on the first page including sticky debloat :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cmo220:
I was hoping this meant even if I choose bright I could have the beveled black. I'm the only person in the world that doesn't like transparent status bar. Mikey, could you tell me how I can get the beveled black status bar back without just using an old SystemUI.apk?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JamesPumaEnjoi:
Sorry passed right by it thanks :)....just wasnt thinking at all rough day lol I know ive seen the sticky debloat in the mean bean folders before lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Namolas:
Not a problem my friend. :cowboy: Its a very sweet set-up one you get it configured. I think Mikey is the resident badass!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] idelgado782:
Hey guys are you getting a text from Verizon 6250 with the text vzwnmn:1?

Since I flashed earlier today I've gotten 3 texts from them. Is there anyway to stop it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cmo220:
I think that has to do with Verizon Backup Assistant. You should be able to go to their website and turn it off somehow.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Namolas:
I believe that has something to do with Verizon's backup assistant polling your device.

Edit: Sniped! LOL
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pmsrefugee:
Does the spen alarm work on this rom? I set it to sound a alarm and a pop up whenever I wall away and left my spen behind under spen in settings. I walk away and nothing happens. I never tested it before so I don't know what to expect. Loving ice though. I haven't flashed any other roms in weeks because nothing beats Mikey's roms.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikeyxda:
That sounds awesome! Never heard of it but I'm going to have to try it now. ;)

Just tried it. That's awesome! Take the pen out and then turn the phone off, put it in your pocket, and walk away. The jiggling of the phone in your pocket signals that you are taking steps... I could only get about 5 steps away before it shocked me in the thigh. ;) Well... it zinged anyway.

Mike
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ahjee:
This is noticeably smoother for me. Feels much more responsive and fluid. Oh to be torn between two roms... oddly enough from the same dev! You're the man Mikey, Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pmsrefugee:
I didn't try it with the phone off. I'll give it a shot. Thanks Mike!

Group messaging

Can anyone confirm or deny that group messaging is/is not working in this international build? I have tried other international builds and it is borked. I coach a softball team and I use it all the time to communicate to the kids parents. Thanks.

And thanks for all your work on Mean Bean.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] carycooke:
I would love to run this rom it seemed so smooth and sweet but im hard of hearing anyways and the in call volume was to low so had to revert back to beans rom which is significantly louder

Tried downloading voodoo but kernel not supported. Is there anything I can do to get in call volume louder ? Notifications are fine just in call. This is a sweet rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Namolas:
Doesn't seem to be working. I was able to send one text out but am unable to respond or recieve any responses in the thread.

Att SGH-I317

ooooh man I miss MEANROM so much! Had it from EVO 3d till EVO LTE. Now I've jumped ship to ATT... There's no one-stop shop roms on the ATT threads for the note II that are as easy to use as meanrom! I think I should have chosen Verizon instead of ATT for this reason!

Any chance Your work will see it's way onto the ATT Threads Mikey?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shill1986:
Nope, I hear ya. Haven't flashed ice yet, and I didn't know those were the only two options. Never ran transparent bar, but doesn't sound like my cup of tea. We shall see.

No, I generally detest UI transparency. Of course, I prefer the dim status bar, so it's all good for me. I've seen an AMOLED with pixel fade firsthand, and I don't care to tempt fate on that.

Working for me. I use Handcent which I know works but I tried the stock app anyway. Selected multiple recipients, the group conversation tab came up, sent, and all the recipients got the group message. Is there some other part of the process I should test?

Mike
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nitronet:
I love the new status bar and thank you so much for fixing the Google Voice problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shrike1978:
Any chance of getting stock toggle or Lidroid support? Power Toggles just isn't doing it for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikeyxda:
No. I have no plans to support either. Stock toggles are a mess to support and Power Toggles are far more powerful than lidroid and integrate seemlessly without the need to modify framework.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dragonstalker:
First for the people that are getting text messages from 6250 that is an activation code from Verizon for backup assistant. The fix use ES explore to open an old mean bean , navigate to system app folder then install ba-syncservice-app-signed.apk
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] carycooke:
Hey mikeyxda is there anyway to bump up in call volume for us deaf folks ? Could I use a kernel from another international build and push it into the zip so I could use voodoo sound or something. I don't even know if voodoo sound increases in call volume but I need something. Stock verizon ll4 kernel sounded good to me

But this is a bit low ? Any suggestions ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Namolas:
I should further clarify by saying that I don't use group messaging. I despise group messaging. There's nothing worse than being stuck in the middle of a conversation with 14 people all saying "who is this?" repeatedly at the same time. Group messaging I have used in the past (ahem,*iPhone) you are able to have a group conversation like a chat room. Yes I was able to send a message to multiple recipients like you did but their responses did not come back to that group message and I was unable to send any further messages from that group thread. You can type all day long but the send button doesn't do anything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thepolishguy:
Yes. Did they respond to you and after they respond can you send another message. I can send 1 message. But I can't send another unless I start a whole new thread to the same group.

Hey, just noticed that the alarm icon is dark here. Thought I'd let you know
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] griffis:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hopesrequiem:
Mike any way you could share on how to make a transparent status bar with dim icons? Nervous about the possible burn in
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] idiotzach15:
This just doesn't seem right.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikeyxda:
I addressed that a page or two back. Dim icons are useless with transparency. They become so mottled in appearance that they're not even readable. Transparency on top of transparency.... just doesn't work.

Mike
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikeyxda:
0.6 includes a third status bar option for a new smooth gradient with bright icons. The new bright smooth gradient option is the default now but the transparent option is still available. Just flash sticky settings and choose. The more I use the transparent one, the less I like it and it's also glitchy in some programs and can turn white and obscure the icons. The new gradient looks nicer than previous versions, is consistent across all apps, and doesn't have these issues so it is the new default.

I also made one change that might improve group messages. I didn't mention it in the release notes because I don't think it is going to change anything but if someone can test and let me know, that'd be great.

I don't understand but I'm still having downloading issues with this specifically. Tried downloading other zips and had no problems but for whatever reason the first link completes instantly which isn't possible for 971 mb and the second link just fails instantly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shill1986:
Not to derail, but was asked. Just took a dremel yo the OB, and the stock batt. door. Very easy, measuring was slow and precise.

I can tell you this, extended with mean bean is two days easy, about 9+ hrs screen on, and don't really notch anything down or turn off wifi, gps, nothing. With juice defender going I can hit almost three. Have yet to flash ICE, but I'm sure it's the same. BEAST MODE: Engaged.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Morkai Almandragon:
Working group messaging works like a "chat room" Mike. If I send Joe and Smith a group message, they both get it, and all of our names are in the header so that when any of use replies we all get the message, AND we all get it in the same thread.

Broken group messaging wil do a few things.

Let you send, but instantly changes the header to "unknown" and people may or may not receive it as a group message.

Send from a single thread with the correct header, but others will each receive their message as if it is just from you to them (no one else in header)

lastly sometimes everything but you receiving works, and you end up getting the replies in their own threads.

I get why some people don't like group messaging. But seriously y'all have made it known enough by now that you don't like it. Some of us have enough contacts with Iphones that NOT having it is just a pain in the ass.

Oh and thanks for looking into that Mike, I know a few Devs are still working on that issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gloster2:
Network Extender

For a small group of us, there is a remaining problem with an International-base ROM. If you:

- use a Verizon Network Extender (a VZW box which connects to your home network and creates a small cell zone)

- also use Microsoft Exchange

then:

- the ROM will assume you are roaming when you are on the Network Extender

- Microsoft Exchange does not allow push synchronization while roaming

So, for someone like me who relies on Microsoft Exchange while in my home, no international ROM for me. :crying:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] PopzTopz:
many thanks Shill :D *looks for my dremel* And the rubber cover fits over that ok?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikeyxda:
So for those who have a problem, why not just install a real SMS app like Handcent? Problem solved. Also, when I tried it this morning, all the recipients got my group message as a group message and if they "reply all", it goes to the group. So I can't find anything wrong with the stock app but even if I did, there's an easy solution: Handcent.

Wow... I gotta say... forgive me if I don't work on an issue with people who choose to run MS Exchange in their house, with no WiFi, connected to a VZW extender. I guarantee you are the only person on the planet with that setup! :D

Mike
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cmo220:
Thanks a lot for this update! It was kind of fun trying to figure out how to revert the changes but it would have been a pain to do it every time since I can't use apktool at work. The gradient looks really nice. I might still like the last way better but I'm not sure yet. Either way this is much better than transparent!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikeyxda:
After some use, I have to agree. I think the status bar is something that should stay consistent and not change based on what is behind it. I worked on the new gradient for a while today to give it a clean, polished look with just the right amount of gradient and edge. I think it looks better and more finished than the flat black "hole" that it comes with stock.

Mike
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cmo220:
It looks a million times better than stock. I really liked your last one too. But this new one is definitely growing on me.

I really hope that wasn't directed at me, although I didn't see anybody else it would have been directed at. I was going out of my way to help test group messaging despite the fact that I prefer not to use it. :silly:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cmo220:
I've never tried it because I always want to make sure there's no problems, but can the sticky settings be flashed in the same recovery session as the ROM without causing problems? I'm mainly directing this question to Mike since he would know for sure, other people might not have experienced any but maybe it could cause a problem with something they don't use on their phone.

Well I just switch to ICE .5 from the vzw 1.11. Like the ice version better. And all of a sudden there's a .6. Loving this.

---------- Post added at 04:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:46 PM ----------

Noticed the Samsung stuff when I rebooted. Set up the Sam acct. Is there anything that doesnt work? Rather not waste time if anyone knows. otherwise I'll explore and report back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Namolas:
It works perfectly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Woof_:
I mean any of the Sammy apps and services.

Also is there a trick to the OTA updater? I downloaded .6 via the updater and it reboots to twrp, but just sits there and does nothing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Namolas:
So did I.;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Woof_:
Ok so you got "find my mobile" working then?

I don't know what that is. Sorry I just know the device backup and Samsung market and syncing Samsung account work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikeyxda:
Sticky settings can be flashed at any time. Same recovery session. Even before or after you flash the ROM. Doesn't matter. Of course its always a good idea to flash the ROM first to be sure you are getting the latest version of the sticky settings.

Mike
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Woof_:
Well then you shouldnt have said everything works ;)

Find my mobile is one of the samsung services they offer. Has a lot of neat features but the Verizon model isnt supported. Bummer.

Mikey, since youre here....Is there a trick to the OTA updater? I downloaded .6 via the updater and it reboots to twrp, but just sits there and does nothing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Namolas:
I didn't realize you were expecting me to download and try every app in the Samsung market. There is nothing in the market or device called "find my mobile" You asked if setting up the Samsung account was worth your time. I'm sorry you weren't more clear. :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikeyxda:
Only thing I can do is reiterate the advice that is always given wrt OTA updater when people have a problem: clear out old versions and retry because it's finicky about too many old zips hanging around.

Mike
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Woof_:
Oooh Snarky.

Its not an app in the samsung market. Its in the samsung account. Just clarifying.

Your statement was still bogus.

And no comment on video hub.:(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Namolas:
My statement was bogus because I did not realize you were expecting somebody to try out every single app in the ROM for you. The Samsung account and sync hasn't worked on some other ROMs in the past but it works perfectly on MeanBean ICE. If you wanted specific apps checked or researched online for you then you should have said so. I can't read minds anymore than anybody else in the thread.

I'm not going to sit here and be ridiculed by you when I was just trying to be helpful..... end of discussion.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikeyxda:
Guys... it's difficult sometimes to judge intent and inflection in text. Let's try to keep a leash on the beast that resides within us all. :)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikeyxda:
Also, no ROM is ever going to be perfect and bug free. There will always be little nits here and little picks there. There will be a couple things that the vzw base does a little better and some things the International base does better. All in all though, I think on either base, the few tiny oddball things that pop up have very simple solutions even if it is to switch to some free app that's better anyway.

Both are solid daily drivers with no key functionality missing or broken like GPS and you're not left with no good solution for key things like voice mail.

Same problem I just dirty flashed the old fashioned way from Ota folder
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Woof_:
This version is great. No complaints.

I was surprised by the Samsung setup and discovered some services offered by Samsung. My question was whether that stuff worked. I have no problem testing all of it and reporting back. The comment that it all worked was taken literally by me, and since I had some issues I followed up. I have no expectations of perfection in any Rom.

I am sorry if my questions were perceived as an attack of some kind. They weren't intended as such.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] natsnation87:
Thanks Mike for continually making all of our Note 2 phones so much better on a daily basis. I have been running Mean Beans VZW as my daily for a while now and just dirty flashed ICE this morning without a single problem.

For those who are having problems with GPS when dirty flashing from VZ Mean Beans. I have never been able to run CleanRom international on my phone with GPS working. I once read that if you flash a VZ TouchWiz romantic, lock GPS location, and leave your GPS and Wifi on before booting into recovery to dirty flash that GPS will be fine. I haven't tried it until this morning. I made a back up and clean wiped before flashing ICE this morning (no restoring) and GPS didn't work. I restored VZ Mean Beans, locked GPS and then dirty flashed and GPS is working great.

Of course I can't guarantee this will work on all phones but coming from a guy whose phones has struggled with International Roms and GPS, it definitely worked for me.
