[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] vouty:
Agree with Android_addiction! Found this video that does a pretty good job of showing what is new in 4.3. http://youtu.be/Gy7t5tCAPOQ. Looks like you get a few nice features from the S4 and GN3, and maybe a little faster.

So can anyone clarify this: I can use a 4.3 rom like Jedi X without upgrading the bootloader, but if I do, there is no going back? Is this correct? I've read many posts on this but am still confused. Some say you can Odin your way back to 4.1.2, but you guys seem to be saying no. What's the real deal?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sValtman17:
Yes, I can confirm it. You do not need to update the bootloader. Do the wipe thing, flash the rom, reboot, let it settle, reboot into recovery, wipe dalvik, cache only, flash devil kernel, reboot and enjoy! Or flash wifi patch and then rom and go with the kernel included. I have gone back and forth between 4.3 and 4.12 several times. 4.12 contains some classic roms of which dwith is one of them. The real value for me is not having to start over from scratch and restoring my roms from backup and the hours I put into them tweaking them to suit my personal taste.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] vouty:
Okay, cool. But just to be sure I understand, so I can flash JediX/devil kernel/wifi patch just like any other rom, and if I don't like it, I can just restore Tweaked from a nandroid in TWRP and be back to where I am now? Is this correct?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sValtman17:
Yeah dude, that is what you should understand!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] vouty:
So is devil kernel basically a "workaround" so you can run a 4.3 rom without having to upgrade the bootloader?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sValtman17:
I don't consider it a work around. I'm talking about the dual kernel. Look at the devil thread in original development, good stuff. I look forward to 4.3 with tweaked. Dwith is one of the greats and grateful for continued interest even though he rocks the note3.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] shane1diamond:
Just want to throw in my two cents here, but yes you can just flash a 4.3 rom and restore your twrp nandroid backup of tweaked. Ive done it multiple times. I flashed the dn3 rom from the att thread. Straight from tweaked 2.5 Just cuz i had to see what a note 2 with note 3 features was like. Lol It was super simple. Just needed to flash the rom and then devil kernel. Played with it for a bit, bit missed my perfectly tweaked rom so I restored my nandroid. But, ran a backup of dn3 rom so that I could put my backup of tweaked in the same folder. Because as im sure you know once you flash a 4.2.2 rom and up it moves files around so you have to search like a mad man for your files. (At least that what happened to me) hope that helps:)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sValtman17:
good point, that happened to me the first time flashing 4.22 back to 4.12, luckily I knew a bout Madmac's flash utility (still available in his cm10.1 nightlies thread) excellent tool to deal with the where's waldo . Also working just fine for me when going back from 4.3 to 4.12 have to say though, I'm groovin on Jedi's 4.3 x2 rom, Yeah, there's a is few little bugs to adjust but all easy and quick fixes. with the hope of another quality 4.3 rom on the horizon, might be time to let go of my 4.12 favs. I'm having excellent results with the devil kernel and don't feel compelled to to update the boot loader.

btw- here's the link to MadMac's thread

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sabresfan:
Im on the 4.3 bootloader and running tweaked right now. The biggest things about updating the bootloader to 4.3 is you cannot odin back to an earlier stock android version and the knox counter crap. You can continue to flash 4.1.2 roms on the 4.3 bootloader. I updated the bootloader because if my n2 craps out in anyway I'm going to update anyway. Devil kernel and wifi patch work fine if you don't want to update.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ecko44:
Hey guys do any of you bavr the tweaked 2.5basic installer? I have the rom just need the installer. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, could you guys plz post the t889uvbmd1 modem. I followed the link on the stock firmware thread and the link is dead. And couldnt find the modem on google
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] moabizzi:
I have both, ill send u the modem, but just want the go ahead from dwith to give his installer out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ecko44:
Thanks man :) I hope he says uea. I was naive and jumped to a 4.3 rom. I had no idea how awesome tweaked was until I compared to other roms
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rev10eight:
Finnaly Got it

Yippee!!!

I finally got my hands on a "new to me", note2 t889 Titanium. Looks mint. I picked it up with two cases from ebay and two otterbox defender series cases with belt clips. It also has all the stuff in the box and the zag cover on screen. Oh, I picked it up for $300.00 I checked it out. Its a real one. Might be refurbished but its real.

Im stoked. It came preloaded with 4.3JB software. Am I going to be able to root this and install this rom? If so, what is the best way?

Thanks,

Rev10eight.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Coug76:
Good luck with the ebay phone. Lots of folks have be hosed via that route.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] moabizzi:
I was on jmx2 before i decided to come back to this. Im too used to the smoothness and plethora of mods available for tweaked and jedi x. Waiting for a solid feature based rom with no hiccups before i upgrade again. Btw, any update on the ok from dwith?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Sorry, work got me all kinds of preoccupied so my android time has been minimal...

Anyhoo - I should be able to start reULing things by the weekend, I'll update links once that's all hammered out and post saying it's done.

In the meantime... yeah share links y'all :) No worries, we're all family here, right? Feel free to help one another out - it's that kind of stuff that makes this thread so great!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rev10eight:
I did the odin to stock rooted jb4.3. I now have cwm and a nandroid backup made. Can't find the basic installer. If anyone else has a sharable link, he said it was ok. I would love to give this a spin.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Double0EK:
If you dont have the installer just flash the Rom then use modificatinator to add or remove things you dont want. Its worked for me in the past.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rev10eight:
The modificationator is not available either. :(

Someone did post a link to it but it required a social site log in to download.

I'm no on any of the social sites either and don't want to be.

Guess I have to wait till the file are available again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ecko44:
You dont have to use a social site to log in. Just make a quick account with 4shared and you can download it. If you are on your phone and for some reason you can't download it, just get 4shared from the play store and use the app :) patiently waiting on the basic installer. I dont wanna take the risk of just flashing the rom without it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] moabizzi:
Ill get all of em up on Android file host right now, itll be up tonight.

Thanks for the links. Im up and going. Ok, ive been using this rom a few days now. For the most part im loving it. Only thing that is driving me nuts is the keyboard. I dont know if its me or something in the settings that I am missing. I use swipe texting all the time but I cant with this board. As I try, the alternate symbols pop up. Now I'm not moving slow, this thing just responds to fast. Any help would be appreciated.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] moabizzi:
Stock keyboard or thw swype keyboard itself? The srock isnt messed up just tested. Swype might have had an update and they're fixing it.

I use SwiftKey with the fliw feature, best keyboard hands down.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rev10eight:
Stock keyboard that comes with the rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Double0EK:
You need to enable continuous input in Settings > Language & keyboards ... Click on the Samsung Keyboard Settings (it'll look like a gear) then turn on Continuous Input.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rev10eight:
It's already set and It does that already but it will pop up the alternant symbol half the time .
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] moabizzi:
Try an alternative keyboard with swipe, just to rule out between phone issue or app issue
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rev10eight:
SwiftKey works flawless. The stock has all the extra characters. It seems the time you have to hold the key down for it to pop them up is way too fast. you can't always get fast enough to keep it from popping them up and messing up what you are typing.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Yeah that's my bad, I sped up the longpress duration a bit. I'll likely do that on the 4.3 base as well, though I'll make it an optional sort of thing. Sorry about that!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rev10eight:
Thanks bud, I didn't think I was crazy. You do a great job on this Rom. I will always look forward to your work. I am sure this Rom will be the standard for my DD. If you can make that as an option for the speed that would be great. Is there an adjustment I can make to it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
It's a smali hack to alter the speed currently. If you feel comfortable trying such things out I would be more than happy to help point the way - PM me if so :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] loaferkan:
dwitherell, do you planned to implement the air command on your next release? I'm using the stock 4.3 that is rooted...I'm fine with it, but I know the magic you bring to these roms is unmatched.....probably if I were Samsung, I would be paying top dollars to hire you...:)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mopandasauce:
Hey everyone!

How's it going? I had a quick question, I think it was addressed but I can't seem to find it.

Does mms work with wifi calling? Because I have a group text and I'm currently on wifi calling mode and they don't download.

Thank you so much!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
In theory yes they should, though in practice results seem to vary on this one. I think the issue resides on the network side of things though, but to be fair I have limited data to support that stance. When I first switched to T-Mobile, my wife (she had a Galaxy Blaze 4G) was not able to send mms when wifi calling was on and connected. I called customer service, they put in a ticket, had me reset a bunch of stuff, blah blah blah nothing worked. Then two days later it started working and there has not been an issue with it on any device attached to our account since (lg optimus l9, note 2, note 3). I am not sure the why or how, just the likely incomplete story of what happened and what I saw lol.

------------------

General update:

I think I am finally done w/ TSMParts things for the note 3 (and all that would also be around on 4.3 for note 2). I should have the update for the note 3 posted in the next few days, and then I will turn full attention to the note 2 again :)

Let's hope all this note3 work will pay off for the note2 lol

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sino8r:
I've been playing with it some and decided that with the MK7 modemwhen used with any 4.1.2 rom... my battery life is crap. Went back to MD1 when using this rom. Probably lack of matching rils/lib files etc. Edkeys could probably back me up. Haven't seen him in a while. Probably has the Note 3 like everyone else lol:crying:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kozmo21:
I've been running the MK7 since I pulled it out of the ROM the 1st day (over a month ago), and haven't noticed any difference in battery life... but like anything, it's whatever works for you :good:

Tempted to return to this rom. Miss onscreen buttons, fully functional note features, and dependability. Maybe I'll try s.w.a.r.m first because I hate to give up the performance improvements of 4.3
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] carlgraser:
I am using the S.w.a.r.m 4.3 rom and it works great battery life is the best I have ever seen.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bruce lee roy:
Thanks for input. I will give it a run.

Edit: If you're using devil kernel, what version you on?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Double0EK:
I'm back ams forth between Roms. I love the features of Tweaked but I also like the improvements of 4.3.

I've been using DN3 and SWARM and back to Tweaked.

If anyone can port the Transparent AccuWeather Widget from DN3 to work on Tweaked the I'll be stuck on Tweaked again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] loaferkan:
I'm using it since day one, and have the wanam or some mood and some other things, that gave me the flexibility to actually do everything that any cooked rom has...the only thing it don't have is the note 3 command thing....or else I would just stick to that rom....battery takes a few days to get you that high return......I'll wait for Note 4 or perhaps 5, because I don't think my Note 2 is worth changing yet....and I wouldn't fall for the marketing scam by these big blood sucker phone companies. Seriously the phone cost more then a laptop....I mean come on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Yeah from the perspective of a user xposed + wanam (and a slew of other incredibly versatile modules - seriously xposed is a pretty amazing thing, and how people have been able to use it makes that fact all the more salient) makes the things I do seem rather pointless. I go through this internal struggle from time to time on this topic in fact - it took me 4 months to get the note3 to something close to what tweaked is here... and while there are things that I do that go beyond what xposed/wanam/gravitybox/xuimod/etc. do, there are far more on the other side of that equation that I can't do. So then the question becomes "why bother?" - which is likely why most jellybean-and-after stock modified roms include those tools - it's like an instant-make-a-rom setup.

What I keep coming back to though is the whole reason I started playing around with this crap - it's a fun puzzle to figure out :)

Oh and fwiw I completely agree on the pricing... these things are pretty dang powerful but so expensive, and with each incremental improvement comes a new high price tag (with debatable incremental worth). Don't get me wrong, I very much enjoy the note 3, but:

1) There's no way I would have bought it had it not been for the amazing generosity of folks around here - generosity I don't feel I deserve but am very thankful for

2) I didn't get rid of my note 2 and find myself swapping between the two from time to time still
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] e-motion:
I, for one, would rather have an all in one rom : pick a few options, install, done.

So keep on playing, because we wouldn't want to feel like we took all this fun away from you :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Double0EK:
I also like your Rom. Not a fan of exposed.

Two features I wouldn't mind having on a Tweaked 4.3 Rom are... System wide Colored Emojis (sorry I like that stuff) and an option for a transparent Note3 Accuweather Widget.

I'm patiently waiting for your greatness.to bless us with another Rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] loaferkan:
I only log into XDA just to check on this thread, and see if there is anything...I don't see anything I log into Facebook, and look a few...and then done with my laptop and back to my business...Keep up with a great work, and I no way was trying to compare your work with that moods stuff...it came out bad, but that's not what I meant...I do apologize....I was referring to the moods that you can turn on/off the flash light with volume button etc....if you came with a new rom, I'll have it flashed in no time...and I can't have the 4.2 because my bootload is locked..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
No worries man - and no need to apologize, you said nothing wrong. And fwiw I don't mind comparisons either - it's a fact that xposed is a powerful way to quickly and easily customize things. I try to be sure that I make no claims of my approaches being better/worse than any other - just different with their own sets of ups and downs. What you said was just a trigger to bring up the internal dialogue I've been having on the topic is all. Ultimately the best scenario is for people to be happy w/ their phones - doesn't need to be related to anything I did (probably shouldn't given the skills others possess with this stuff... I'm peanuts at best in many of those comparisons), but bonus if it happens to be :)

GENERAL UPDATE:

It's looking like I'll start being able to play w/ note 2 things by the weekend. I finally posted the note 3 stuff earlier this week and have been taking a break from tinkering to focus on thread/issue handling as a result... but I think it's starting to die down now and so far nothing major needs to be done on my end to fix any issues - so that's good :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sValtman17:
Awesome news dwith. I greatly appreciate your continued interest. Thanks for all you do keep this forum so valuable. You rock!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] shane1diamond:
I know this is not ROM related at all, just want to ask here because this is the ROM I'm on and was hoping someone on this ROM had this happen and knows a fix. I just recently got the TMOBILE upsell page while tethering to my tablet that I've been tethering since forever. Wondering if anyone knows a workaround? Tried googling and searching already yielded no results,,:(

Hey dwitherell,

Is there anyway you could put your pop up browser to Chrome apk as a file I can just download and install normally?? I already have the zip file, and tried to extract but it won't work.

Long story short, I had to go back to official Tmobile rom as none of the 4.3 roms out right now could stop my Android OS from draining. So I rooted, but each time I reboot, root is gone therefore I cannot flash your zip file...

Can't wait until your rom drops and hopefully I will be able to use it.

Anyone know where the wallpapers are stored?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bruce lee roy:
Not sure where stock wallpapers are located but I use images in various folders for wallpaper. In gallery, all photos/ images on your phone should appear, regardless of location (with exception of hidden files). From there I can set any image file as wallpaper?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] brian117:
You will need to extract the SecWallpaperChooser.apk from the ROM's .zip folder to your desktop and then rename the SecWallpaperChooser.apk to SecWallpaperChooser.zip and click yes to modify it. Then open the .zip and go to "res/drawable-xhdpi" and they should be listed there. Each ROM is different so there's going to be folders called drawable-xhdpi, drawable-hdpi, drawable-sw359dp-xxhdpi etc. It just varies really but all wallpapers will be stored there.

That's how to do it manually for most ROM's. But since 99.8% of this board are lazy humans, here's a .zip of the wallpapers that are included in this ROM for you to download and extract to wherever your little heart desires.
