Is the OTA Patch the VZW patch?

or is the VZW patch built in? Where do I find it?

Also, does Group Messaging work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nitronet:
Please, nobody give answers to this lazy... SEARCH AND READ
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Brandon_schulze:
I actually did read the whole first post twice and I'm still confused. That's why I havent flashed yet.

if you can take the time to be a jerk you could answer my question just as fast.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Nate14:
The most recent build has the patch built in. Not sure about group messaging though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Brandon_schulze:
Some people say it works some say it doesnt. that's why I'm confused. I know how to flash roms I know how to flash patches and Kernels.

I've been doing it since my Nexus One.

I don't get why people cant just help out.

Thank You for your answer.

Last Question!

Is there a way to bring color back to all my app icons?

I'm using the AOSP theme and I love the theme, but the black and white app icons bug me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrbxx7:
U can use Xposed framework and icon themer to install any apex or nova icons...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Froid:
There's also a stock apps zip in the OTA to revert to original icons.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Brandon_schulze:
Switched back to CleanROM. In the end, this ROM was just not worth it to me.

Group messaging flash fixes were making messaging force close and the having no way to easily revert the app icon colors really turned me off this rom.

XDAers,

Just a small update... I have cleaned, organized, and updated the first 4 posts a tad bit so it looks more attractive IMO. Never done these types of images, mods, themes or any of the work Ive been posting before so this is my first time for all of that. Just learning

on the go

! Also added the links to GROUP MESSAGING in the 3rd post.

Also, I now have a home as a member of The Alliance Family now. They have adopted me into their home. They have already wedgied me, farted on my sleeping pillow, & shaved my goatee while sleeping.... Ima grown ass man.. a tall one at that.. smh.. Let me tell you, they are CRAZY. But I love them. Thank you Nun & Fam​

Ill post this again since everyone got answered but me

"My question is can you completely remove the quick setting in the notification area and the are it would take up. I am not a fan of it as i use the power toggles and it takes away from the notification real estate. I can take all of them off but the area that it would be is still there. Is there a way or am I out of luck?"

---------- Post added at 04:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:34 AM ----------

Also I have no gps lock even with the recommended idea of getting gps lock prior. to flashing. I was on Mean Bean v13, cleaned everything. still having gps lock issues. Probably gonna flash back. Not ready for me. I really liked this rom too
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
You can remove the toggles, but that will leave that toggle gap still. You would have to go into the framework and play around with the values to get rid of it. Also have you tried using GPS fix from the store? I just used it on a fresh install of Novella && locked in under 20 seconds. This rom likes you back. Do not give up on it. :highfive:

WIFI Tethering

I agree with the reply below- you don't have to tell the world when you flash another ROM. Just because one doesn't work well for ya or operate perfectly on your device doesn't mean its a bad ROM. Unless you are contributing to the community, it's probably best to refrain from these comments since they lend to a not-so pleasant environment.

AGREED.

Now onto my question, does anyone know if this ROM has the been pre-hacked to allow native tethering (in other words, the native tethering software isn't going to prompt a tether plan with VZW)? Also is the VZW Patch that was originally posted in the premier build, is it inapplicable now with the lastest build (May 13 build)? Thanks. Running super smooth thus far
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sonofevil77:
Well it pains me to say this but I had to go back to beans rom. I could not get a gps lock to save my life. I tried everything in the threads and it was a no go.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
No you will be fine with the tethering. Its been hacked already && correct. Patch is no more. Its baked into the rom as of May 13th.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bladerealm124:
Also having trouble getting a gps lock. May be trying beans 17 after being on 15 previously. However, other than the gps issues this rom has been flawless and has significantly better battery than beans 15 did for me. The skip music with volume controls also worked great(didn't work for me on beans). Hopefully the gps issue is fixed in the next build. Regardless, thanks for a great ROM dev
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
Thank you && There are no GPS issues on this build. To me, it seems like every single ROM development has one or two who just simply cant get a lock. I mentioned earlier, I started with a fresh install of Novella last night -*Odin to stock, rerooted, flashed Novella*- because I flashed so many roms before novella, i like to have a clean slate. Using GPSFix from the store, i got a lock instantly. Alot of users out there are jumping from rom to rom constantly every day without letting the battery settle, Android OS settle, or even your GPS settle. I can assure you tho, there are no GPS issues with this build. I think my flash-o-mania is now cured when it comes to TW roms. It's that damn good. And I thank Nun for that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bladerealm124:
I tried gps fix and three other gps apps users suggested but still have not been able to get a lock. Is there anything else I should try without having to wipe data? Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bendystrawboy:
well after that I have to add I cant get a gps lock either, have tried that gps app. Ill try to flash another rom and come back to this one and see if it works. I didnt notice due to all the rain until I went to use mytracks, i'll be sad to have to go back to beans, love this rom and its features.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bladerealm124:
Sadly I will likely be doing the same as gps is quite important. It appears it is not that isolated of an issue. There must be some reasoning for this beyond coincidence? Have had no issues with beans rom or clean rom in getting a gps lock. Clean wipe and install, tried 4+ gps apps including gps fix but still have not gotten a lock with this ROM. Other than this issue it is a phenomenal rom and easily my favorite
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
If you guys can do one of these three things, it would help with your experience. I suggest trying it in this order.

Reflash the rom over the top again. Don't factory reset. Wipe Dalvik & Cache 3x. Immediately, open GPSfix (I prefer this, it hasn't let me down yet. You can use what you like) and get a lock.

Second option, backup Novella. and then wipe EVERYTHING. Factory reset, data, cache, and dalvik. Upon signing in, use GPSfix right away so you can get a lock early on.

If none of those work, I highly suggest flashing back to stock and starting over. If things go crappy, it is a very great idea to start off a clean slate.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bladerealm124:
Thanks for the tips will try these
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] danaff37:
This looks sweet; gonna try it tonight. Got to satisfy that urge to flash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] NunHugger:
I don't understand why wiping data is an issue. To get a rom working perfectly...sometimes you have to work a little, as no phone is exactly the same. Using an app like titanium backup, you can go from full wipe to back in business in about 5 minutes.

When working on the rom we flash about 10-15+ times a day to make sure stuff is running right for you. The least you could do would be start from a clean slate so that we can help you trouble shoot with some consistency.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bladerealm124:
I never said it was an issue. I was simply looking for alternative solutions before attempting that which is exactly what trent provided. The first one didn't work so it looks like I will be wiping data next. Also, just on a side note, I had a subpar experience using titanium on my thunderbolt (both free and paid version). Lots of force closes and occasional freeze ups. Will attempt to use it again now though since trents first fix didn't work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
There's Titanium Backup. Rom Toolbox Pro. Helium Backup. All three backup apps and restores them.

Orange Backup also makes nandroid's without rebooting into recovery.

Just some friendly tips there.

&& Nun's post was in general for all users. Not just you. And it applies to every rom. Not just Novella.

Good luck!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bladerealm124:
Thanks for the info I'll look into those. And I understand, just seemed like it was in response to my post where I mentioned wiping data. But good advice nonetheless

---------- Post added at 06:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:36 PM ----------

Tried a factory reset, wiped dalvik and cache 3x. Reflashed and immediately tried gps fix then gps status then navigation. Still couldn't get a lock. Tried each for several minutes. Looks like I'll have to go back to stock or beans temporarily. I know this is only affecting some people but is there a "fix" planned for the next build? I'll attempt to get a lock with stock and then use gps fix immediately upon flashing novella again but just curious in case that doesn't work. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
Ok may I ask this next question.. Are you trying to find these GPS locks in a cave? Cause your location is not popping right now. Lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bladerealm124:
Haha no im attempting outside on my porch

Also had no issues getting an immediate lock with beans and the stock ROM, was previously able to even indoors. But havent gotten a single lock yet with this rom on my porch(unenclosed portion) or dashboard even after trying a full wipe. Will attempt to go back to stock or beans and get a lock now to see if the issue continues
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bendystrawboy:
clean install didnt work, flashed beans, locked, then this and it locked nearly instantly.

i'd love to know why that works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bladerealm124:
Would also like to know^. I haven't reflashed this yet but I flashed beans and immediately got a lock in under 10 seconds(indoors next to a window too). Why is there more trouble gps on this than other ROM's? Is it due to the international base? Going to see what beans 17 is like but may end up back on here shortly(as long as I can get the gps to work).

Does maps show you anywhere near to the correct location....since it will use your Wi-Fi to narrow itself down
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Froid:
A couple guys on the team have the same issue with the S3...this is the fix they've used. I've never tried it so definitely read thoroughly before using. Hope it works.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=39687135
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] NunHugger:
It's not an international base. It's an AT&T base. I am gonna guess the issue is because it's a different carrier. As Froid mentioned, on the s3, when hunting for leaks, flashing a Sprint or Verizon base would often kill GPS. Not for everyone...all there has to be some variable at play. But the only way to get it back seemed to flash back to stock...get a lock, then reflash.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bladerealm124:
Interesting. Well hopefully I don't have an issue if (or when) I go back. Easily my favorite ROM so far but may stick with beans 17 for a day or two and see how they compare. Thanks for all the hard work dev
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] heavyMGS:
For folks with the GPS Lock issues, refer to my post on this thread, #288.

I was having issues with GPS as well with this ROM initially. Based on what I'm reading it looks like there is a bit if confusion on how to get the GPS Lock.

Let me break it down so you can get this excellent ROM working all the way.

If you can't get a GPS fix on Novella but you can in Beans (like myself)

1. Exit out of Novella and Boot to Recovery.

2. Wipe Data / Factory Reset. You DON'T need to wipe external SD card.

3. Flash Beans, and just rush through the setup, doesn't matter what options you pick, just get booted up into Beans.

4. Once Beans is up and running, download GPS Fix from the Play Store.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androidlab.gpsfix

5. Open GPS Fix and click on Start Fixing, then WAIT until you get a vibration from the phone and it says Location Fixed! In the upper left hand corner of the app.

6. As soon as you get a fix, reboot into recovery, wipe data / factory reset.

7. Install Novella, then try Google Maps and or re download GPS Fix and you should to be able to get a lock right away and your in business!

This should work.

Hope this helps, have a great weekend.

what kernel are you using, the best i can get is 3 1/2 hours screen on time
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
Perseus kernel surprisingly. First time im getting great battery with it. Im thinking the odin to stock and starting over helped.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Coderedpl:
Hmm maybe I'll do that.

What was your process? Odin to stock, setup then root unlock etc?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
Yeah. Backup.

Odin To Stock.

Play Around with the ugly looking color UI.. & laugh at it because you are about to return to Novella.

And since I opted to not stay on the new Radio because It was worse for me, I went back to the VRALJB radio.

So i followed this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2043636

*The instructions have changed dramatically & it is super simple now*

and im back on Novella within 10-15 minutes.

I used the May13th build. No problems. Got a lock right away. Charged it up over night.

I haven't even had a random FC. Usually Tapatalk or something kicks me out randomly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] neckbonest:
were you able to odin back to stock while you were on novella or did you have to flash a stock rom?

i know novella is based off stock TW, just dont want to screw anything up

AOSP Theme Update

Hey folks, for the last couple of days, I took on the challenging task of updating the AOSP theme for Novella and it's finally complete! None of this is possible without Froid The Droid. He was like a parent watching his child ride the bicycle for the first time to make sure he/she didn't fall off.

Newhoo, I did work my butt off on this && achieved the kinda impossible **to be honest, this theme wasnt going to be updated by anyone in the group anytime soon, lol** and I now have it updated not only for me, but for you guys as well.

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=13858034498093973520 && also available in the OTA

What was updated with the AOSP theme? Seemed pretty good as it was!! So just curious what the changes are.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
You've been missing out on some hefty mods in the RomCustomizer if you been using the old one this whole time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] masterchiefb117:
So update on the gps situation.

So I have gps test and gps fix. On full restart, not hot boot, before data connection is established I quickly tap either app and gps icon pops up and starts locking on. After that it connects. Thats within the first minute. Stable for 5 minutes then its gone till I go into airplane mode and cut all data and when coming back online looking for data signal itll look for gps signal. I have deleted gps data and downloaded extra gps data with no help. Ive pulled the log cat and the gps seems to time out after about 5 mintues. For some reason the only to restart it is if I try to disable any data so it can kickstart the gps again. So weird.

Ive looked into why it times out and does not start again and found out that if I access the hidden menu and restart the gps thru there itll restart. Problem is on this rom I cant access the hidden setting thru dialer. But on mean bean and jelly beans roms I can. If dev/op can look into this this would be a start.

Kinda sucks as I use my gps for work, im a courier, and having to disable/ restart my phone does hamper how I use my gps. With constant gps signal it wont go away. But once it stands by orIidle for to long itll go away.

I have confirmed with several devs on another thread and seems to be an idle issue with no real way for gps to restart on its own.

---------- Post added at 01:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:14 PM ----------

Will post my log cat for dev to look over, on my lunch and cant do much on my phone currently.

Will stick to this Rom as is has potential after all the bugs iron at and has a different flavor that I have experienced yet.

Today for some reason CRT stopped working and so did the long press on the menu key to kill apps anyone know that what that could be. I reinstalled clean and still nothing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] masterchiefb117:
Here are sime screenshots of what u have to go thru to get my gps working. So if you notice I have no data either 4g, 3g, 1x. It is looking for data but some how gps kicks in and starts looking for lock on. After about 30 secs of locking on its starts picking up gps signal and stablizes for a little bit as long as I keep it constant. After it idles though I have to repeat by either airplane mode or restart device
