Yeah, downoad link got gang banged. Exceeded bandwidth temporarily. We need mirrorzors.

I tried to re-word and make it as simple as possible. But that's honestly the steps I take to get it working. Plus if browser works for you that way, then awesome! I usually rename SecBrowser && Reboot. Once rebooted, install Browser.apk as a normal app && all is well.

No if you were running Novella fine before, no need to use the May13th edition. I only updated it to combine the Rom & Patch and for those having issues on VZW. I was running the old method until maybe three days ago and dirty flashed may 13th with no problems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] desantim:
Under the NovellaDosUpdate041613 in the OTA section which I successfully applied, it says to use the Xperia lock screen, you (must use Sony to crop).

Not seeing anything Sony related in apps or when I try to select a photo for the background.

Any clarification here would be great!

Thanks,

Mario
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Namolas:
Right here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] desantim:
Strangely enough, that's exactly what I was doing, but after the update this time it allowed me to pick "photo editor" to crop the photo, which seemed to work, where it was not available before, it was only allowing me "Gallery". So w00t!

Thanks buddy!

No 3g icon bug get fixed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RemnantKing2:
As badly as I want to run this Rom, I can't seem to make any of the settings stick. Any recommendations?

Things like: Verizon LTE logo, choosing a different battery makes it disappear all together, changing Wi-Fi symbol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] italbomber:
I dont think this is a bug. Since this was ported from at &t there is not standard 3g symbol. They are just 4g.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bendystrawboy:
how are you installing? work fine for me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RemnantKing2:
I am doing clean install. I am going to give it another go.

Is it better to reboot after EVERY change I do, or can I make the changes I want then reboot at the end?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] desantim:
Basically I installed the Novella 13th release, installed the OTA update, then wiped cache and dalvik and rebooted. Then I downloaded the rom update from the OTA settings panel, went to recovery, flashed that, wiped dalvik cache, and then started making changes. I haven't seen any issues, rock solid, great battery life, zero issues since the 13th update with the update in the OTA app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Namolas:
I never dared install the actual ROM update from the OTA because trent has essentially tricked the OTA service into thinking we are on ATT. I'm surprised you didn't have any problems. Shows what I know, LOL :eek:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RemnantKing2:
That's exactly what I did, however upon trying to change things again, the only thing that worked successfully was changing the time text to white, and putting it in the center. Battery change made the battery disappear, wifi change, signal color change made those disappear, trying to change the time in the pull down menu made the time disappear, changing color of the toggles and text only worked with adding text. After trying to change color of toggles and text, text disappeared, and toggles aren't changing colors. Using the RomCustomizer to change the battery to digital battery allows me to reboot into recovery, flashes it, reboots, but nothing sticks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
This has already been mentioned. but here you go. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=41373411

make sure alpha is ticked and slider is to the right. that's why it disappears because it is fully transparent.

I have never.. and i don't think i have heard anyone else have issues with anything not sticking. You don't need to reboot. If things do not change on the fly, you just have to click restart systemUI.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RemnantKing2:
It was that one damned detail!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dukins:
I was getting force closes when I took a screenshot with the power button and home key. When I would pull down the notification bar and press edit, it force closes.

It works perfectly as you described with the s pen. Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
Yeah this rom is debloated more than normal. You can grab the samsung photo editor and stick it in system/app.

When you hit edit after a screenshot, its looking for that app and its not there.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skilover:
Is this a Touchwiz rom? Or, are the apps all AOSP? Also, and related, can we change kernels, and if so, do we use TW kernels, or AOSP ones? In general, do we use VZ versions, or ATT versions? Are we able to use the Launcher of our choice, such as Nova? Sorry if this is repetitive, but I haven't seen these questions at least in recent posts.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
Full 4.1.2 touchwiz Rom. With AOSP apps/mods available.

You can use any Verizon TW kernel with this. I'm on PBJ.

You can use the VZW may 13th version if you're on Verizon..

TW launcher by default. Yes, You may use Nova.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skilover:
Thanks for the detailed reply. What do you mean by the "VZW May 13th version"? Of what?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
I thought you were asking if you should use the VZW Rom or AT&T Rom version. You mightve been asking about the kernels. In either case if you're on Verizon, use the VZW rom with a VZW kernel

The only way to get full potential out of this Rom is to have the build.prop edited to show your phone as being the AT&T version (l317) otherwise the ota updater would not work.

I edited my build prop back to I605 and the updater still works.

this isnt true, I flashed rom the vzw ota zip and it works fine, have flashed a few ota packages just to test.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dr_acula:
If you flashed the NOVELLA_Patch from the op, which makes the OTA extras work, it changed your build.prop to AT&T I317. You can open the zip and look at the build.prop if you want.

Hey guys, I got all the statusbar icons themed for ATT.

Trentb12, my battery mods arent working. It applies and if you pull SystemUI.apk all the battery icons are in there but it doesnt show up on the phones statusbar. Are your XML's pointed to read a different set of images? (Almost positive thats the issue.) Would you guys possible make it so it reads the battery images inside of SystemUI?

This is the same case with your lidroid toggles. You named the lidroid apk differently so my script cant locate it. Even if I make it locate, all the images are named completely different then other lidroid apps. Is it possible to make lidroid have the default names?

This will help so much with themes and keep things universal, its up to you guys :).

Edit: The new theme isnt out yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Froid:
This ROM allows you to tweak the color of all the icons you mentioned. In order to do that, they have to be white. You can replace them with your color of choice but in order for them to show up you have to tweak the color of the icons in custom settings. Try setting the color to #ffffff with alpha ticked and slider to the right. Then restart system ui in custom settings and see if they show up. Also, you would have to use this specific SystemUI.apk and the alliance-res.apk from the ROM for batteries and toggles....lidroid won't work, nor will any other SystemUI without breaking mods and theme.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] NunHugger:
Yeah...your theme is wonderful...but if it's not built of of our apks and jars it's going to break some of the features built in. You are more than welcome to build of of our base...And actually we encourage it. We will add compatible themes to the it's of the creator desires...but the base is not going to change to suit your theme. Sorry.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ForeverSupra:
I just noticed there was a lot of mod options :P. I didnt realize that. At first I was scratching my head wondering why your XML pointed to different places, now it makes sense. Im glad you like it man :D. Ill see what I can do in future releases, I would have to make a special version just for your rom. We will see :).

But for now...

5/21/2013 - Changed the toggle icons for the stock Samsung toggles and lidroid toggles. Themed more white and blue 1X, 3G, 4G icons for other carrier's (AT&T) and international roms.
