Yeah man its been a while! I bounced around a lot after the Charge, my last VZW phone being the Note 2 before I switched to T-mo and got a One... the novelty quickly wore off and I sold it for another Note 2 (the Note 3 being off my list due to Knox and the bootloader/security). Boy was I happy to see you made this ROM for this variant! Installed it just fine and this thing flies, great battery life too! Great work

Yea. Coming with Knox kinda sucks and will have to see how that pans out. Current upgrades to 4.3 have been having Knox removed from roms and Odin as it is all software based. :cool:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] anoninja118:
that's good to hear! I've always got Jump if I wanna get one in the future... I fell in love with this phone when I had it on Big Red, had to get another one! Finding Tweaked was a bonus! lol

I'm stuck on Verizon S3 till they come up with something worth paying retail to keep my unlimited. Maybe S5 dev. Note like wearing a Texas Rodeo Championship belt buckle. Too big for me. :p:laugh::cool:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] harpocrates:
Just so you know you are losing money on jump... even if you upgrade every6 months you spend 200 down payment, 6x10=60 for the "privilege" of jump, 6x12=72 for mandatory insurance, 21x6= 126 for a total of 452 and then you give the phone back after6 months and start over for a new one. So they say that you saved 250 dollars from buying the phone but you basically lost 452 since you don't get to keep it. It might seem better because you aren't paying 700 up front, but your monthly payments are 43 dollars higher on your bill so for me this is worse than leasing a car..

I like to keep my phones at the end. Keep them as back up, test phones for roms or give them to relatives who have crappy phones.. not t-mobile. (Usually my mother and one of my cousins :p)

HaHaa. Only up to $272 on the the device. Have to kick in the rest to get to 50% of the retail price before can jump. :cool:

Thanks but it hard to blind theme without a device. Took me 2 weeks to theme the S4 to AOSP blind. :rolleyes::cool:

272 on what device?

Sent from my SM-N900T
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] prdog1:
No matter what device it is you have to pay half the retail price of the device and return it before can jump. Might as well buy outright and sell on swappa after 6 months and put that money against the next one. Come out better. :cool:

Classic
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kal-El7:
Just to piggy back off of this...anyone in their right mind would not and should not swap phones every six months. Swap once a year during the value-savings months like when zero down comes (like how I got my two Note 3's) or the great deals during Black Friday month (like how I got my two Note 2's with very generous rebates of $400 or so). That's when Jump becomes valuable. Also, I don't think Jump was ever intended to be marketed as money-saving for customers. From the start I knew Jump made T-Mo profit. Though the customer takes a monetary hit with Jump, my goal is to mitigate how steep that hit is in the end with flashy rebates and stuff like that. It's sort of like leasing a fancy, expensive car and swapping out every now and then. I know people that own a car outright and then lease fancier ones. I remember asking one very special old friend of mine why he does this and he said "people have their toys.....swapping cars is my toy".

If I want a Note 4, Note 5, Note 6, etc every 11 months or so, my losses via Jump shouldn't be too bad if I plan it and time it right.

Jump, aside from premium insurance, is luxury. Luxury costs.

Totally classic. I visualized it. =)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] harpocrates:
Actually more than half with the mandatory insurance, the monthly payments, the down payment and the monthly jump fee....

Exactly why it's better to buy the phone full, stay on your plan, no jump fees and sell it when you want to upgrade.. otherwise your are losing money and you are told you saved money at the end

Damn mobile app is still quoting wrong
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kal-El7:
I noticed you counted insurance and Jump as two separate fees. Jump is just a word, but essentially Jump is exactly your premium insurance with the added feature of swapping phones more frequently. Back in the day I used to pay $12 for my premium insurance. Now? My "premium insurance" is $10, $2 less and it now comes with phone-swap - a.k.a - Jump. With the extended lifetime warranty I'm awarded, I've swapped out my phone (for the same make and model) 4 times. Yeah, I know that's considered just an exchange, but still....four Note 2's exchange for any little thing I didn't like? There are more features to like than not like.

T-Mobile doesn't pitch it to you as saving money, not from the many convos I've had with them. You're supposed to lose some money expectedly if you're swapping for another completely different phone. Buying outright and selling in an attempt (and hopefully) get half your money back is more appealing, as not everyone who wants a new phone will be approved via their credit standing for zero down. So for those type of consumers, swappa is heaven. And for the sellers.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] harpocrates:
Sorry, you are right..I did do that...I shouldnt have and thanx for catching that...if you have insurance already jump program is probably cheaper over all (since premium handset protection right now is 12 dollars) but their facebok page did actually promote jump as saving money because you would save from the total cost of the phone by not paying your balance when you upgraded...however avoiding to emphasize that you were actually losing money since you were trading in your phone that you had put a downpayment on and made several payments towards it...

Perhaps in stores they are promoting Jump better. I will check. Id like to find out if there is an option of just paying off your balance instead of trading in your phone when upgrading..so you can keep your old phone and then get a new one. Perhaps in that case Jump would be worth it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] prdog1:
Pretty sure you can pay it off. Don't see why not. :cool:

[MENTION=380621]harpocrates[/MENTION] - Oh no....it's all good. =) I think you could pay off your old phone and get a new one. T-Mobile told me that my good credit standing with them allows me to have two EIP's (Equipment Installment Plan) on any one line, so I'm still paying off my Note 2 PLUS just started paying down the Note 3. Not sure if that helps clarify anything. Essentially I truly am paying off my balance while having obtained the new phone as well. =) The Note 3 is a birthday gift from my girl to me, who also has a Note 2 on my family plan and doesn't care to upgrade (that wack-o). lol

Just to add clarity, if I may kindly do so.....you do not need to have paid half of your phone in order to use Jump for hopping onto a new device. I've been told this plenty of times and also confirmed by a very, very tight friend of mine who's works for T-Mobile up the chain (I get all my accessories for free from him and for my parents, etc). And just to be sure again, I just got off the phone with T-Mo and the gentleman reiterates to me: "You can use Jump to jump off of Note 3 to get the Note 4 and a couple weeks later Jump again if you want. The ONLY catch to all this is you must surrender your device".

My previous premium insurance was $12. Now I pay $10. Then....if you have Jump.....T-Mo gives you a free unlimited subscription to Lookout Mobile Security's Premium features, which is quite nice. I use it in conjunction with Avast's Anti-Theft for Root features.

So all in all...you kinda-sorta are saving money if you look deep enough to the perks. With Lookout Premium, premium insurance, lifetime warranty (that's killer right there cuz I've used it more than once), no minimum balance paid criteria, exchange during Black Friday month, etc........I'm pretty happy about Jump.

There are worse things...much, MUUUCCHH worse things in life - like Sony's recent announcements of Playstation 4 NO longer supporting DLNA (what?! I use this more than gaming), no standard mp3's of any kind in any way, no standard purchased audio CD's, no eternal HDD like Xbox One can, etc. Beliiiiieevve me....I've been hyperventilating all day today.

Jump is bliss compared to some other atrocities that Satan has unleashed upon us this week.

Ok I got my wife's GS3 and my GN2 to connect. Now that they're connected how do I transfer a file? The only way I've ever done this is using S-Beam. Maybe I can transfer stuff using NFC without removing my case.

Update: I found a Youtube video on using it. You do it just like S-Beam. Whenever I tap our phones together S-Beam starts up and it just works. I guess I don't need to mess with NFC. I still have to remove my case though. Oh well.

Regarding about Multiwindow

Hi!! First and foremost, ilove the rom! Its very smooth and just too amazing!! Now one problem unfortunately. I can't seem to br able to put any of the apps I want into the multiwindow bar. All my apps are enabled and while everything shows up in the pick and choose area of the apps, I cant seem to put it in the window bar. The apps I drag over then goes to the bottom of the choosing page. Please help me out. Otherwise, thank you!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. How can I do the camera quick access? There's no option that I can't find. Thank you again!!!!!!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
It takes a bit for the placement, but you need to drag the icon over and in between two others - when you do (before you drop the icon), you'll see an outline show up and the icons move out of the way in the bar. Anyone else have issues with this?

For the camera quick access - what do you mean by this? The finger-on-the-screen one, or the no-need-for-pin-if-swipe-shows-with-secure one? Or just for adding it to a lockscreen...? Need more info on this :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] saqc2010:
Thanks for the quick reply. Now in terms of the multiwindow, unfortunately, I have NO apps in the multiwindow bar when I first installed this rom. It's all blank in that area with just the done button. I dont know how that happened, but there is no app physically in that bar. And while trying to drag the apps I want, as you mentioned, there should be an outline. Unfortunately I don't see an outline of the app that im trying to put in. Obviously, I witnessed this in the stock ROM but I dont seem to be able to do so or see it on in the ROm :/ In terms of the camera access, I was referring to the one finger on the lock screen with the tilt-one. Again, if you can provide your input, that'd be great. Thanks :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Hmm... in regards to multiwindow - is this on a clean install? That is definitely not normal... did you check md5 of install file? Have you installed anything else?

As far as the camera part - I think the option is somewhere in settings > lockscreen options, I'm not sure. It's a stock thing though, so it's somewhere in the stock settings.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] saqc2010:
Again thanks for the quick reply. Well, I did find the camera quick access so that can be outta the way:D. But now in terms of the multiwindow, yes it was on clean install. this is my very first rom that I have rooted to and it was a success and I love it as I've mentioned. Also, I don't know what i'm supposed to define about the md5 file or what it means, but yes during installation I did see an "md5" thing popup while CWM was installing it. Sorry that its being awkward but hope you can help. Thanks a lot man.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sshafranko:
You need an app such as root explorer. Got to the folder on youdr sd card in root explorer where the rom is. Long press on the zip file and you will see a bunch of options. Press properties. In there you will see a md5 number. Make sure that number matches the one posted on the first page of this thread next to the rom zip download. If matches good if not delete it and dowload it again.

That's good to know. I'm thinking about getting a dev edition Note 3 at income tax return time. I want to keep unlimited data too. Then I won't have to worry about unlocking it. But if I don't like the price I have a way around it. But that means I have to depend on the development community to find a way. There's no way I'm going to run a stock phone. I find ads to be incredibly irritating and I don't like bloatware. But that's why you guys do what you do.

Man....I'm so dumb. Back in the middle of October I forgot to come on here and share the love. This is for those who didn't already know....call T-Mobile and tell them you want your free 500 megabytes of Mobile Hotspot to be upgraded to the FREE **little known** promo of 2.5 GIGABYTES of *FREE* Mobile Hotspot. The went live with that little perk and I angrily (jokingly) asked them why didn't they let me know (found out the long way) and they said they don't make big noise on those kinds of things. Do this now. If you have it already, cool beans.

This free increase is available per line. So 4 lines on my family plan have 2.5 GB of free mobile hotspot.

Yeah I hunted this thing from SecSettings into framework.jar and services.jar, SecSettingsProvider.apk, CSC.apk... I can't seem to figure out where this initial set-it-to-checked process occurs on a reboot. I've added this to the long-term to-do list in the hopes that I stumble across something in the future or a new idea dawns on me, but until then I'm at a loss - sorry man, but feel free to throw any info my way if you happen across it as well :)

Well that is strange... where did you try to store the file (external or internal) - and if you look in the TweakedInstall directory at that location, is the file there complete with the options you wanted/selected? The can't find the sdcard message - did that happen only with the aroma that creates the install.prop or on the main install? Very strange, but truth be told my testing on CWM has been rather minimal.

Good to know that simple network issues could be the cause :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] cooleydub:
Oh, it works just fine over data.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Yeah wifi calling and mms get wonky from time to time w/ tmobile. If it was working just fine and after really no major changes it suddenly isn't - really a network issue is the most likely culprit.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] xamindar:
I originally saved the settings file to the external SD card and it does contain the options I chose. I later tried going through aroma again and choosing the internal SD card but it did not save to the internal card. Maybe that error I see is only pertaining to the internal SD. The SD error was only with the aroma.

Maybe I should switch to TWRP or whatever that other recovery is called. I just never bothered because CWM has always worked.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Yeah I had some issues w/ CWM, the aroma file maker, and choosing the internal sdcard - I thought they were all figured out but perhaps they were not... I will have to do some testing on that one. In the meantime, you can get any missed options back using the modificatinator. Actually now that I think about it - did you flash the main install zip with the install.prop on your external sdcard? That should have worked if so... let me know.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] cooleydub:
Also, I just noticed this now, I don't think wifi calling is working either. I just ended a call and then the "calls will be made over wifi" message popped up like it wasn't enabled. Has there been an update anyone is aware of?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
I think that notification happens every time you go into the dialer while wifi calling is on - I could be wrong on that one though. I was thinking about hacking that out... but I didn't. Good story eh? :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] xamindar:
Thank you, you were right. I was flashing the rom from internal SDcard. Once I did it from external, it worked and used the options.
