My favorite ROM by far. Thanks Slesh. I'm having just one issue with the new build. I do not get a full menu when pressing the menu button in the Play store. It only shows settings and help. It seems to be missing redeem, wish list, and my apps.

I did a complete wipe before installing 2.1. Just to double check, I did another complete wipe and re-installed 1.9. The full menu was there. I did another full wipe, installed 2.1, and the full menu is not there. Just settings and help.

I'm just curious if any one else is having this issue.

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleshepic:
See that now as well. Do you happen to recall if the other play store your using as reference is same release version(4.4.21)? Not to say that the newest shouldn't have those options, just wondering if its a weird thing with latest slim gapps
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] The Legendary Odyssey:
Swipe from the left side in the play store to get your options. New way the updated play store is set up
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] davesbest:
Thank you! I feel like an idiot. :o Especially since I wiped everything and now I have to set my phone back up (and no, I didn't do a nandroid. :crying: )

Everything else is working great. Thanks again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleshepic:
Thanks bud. Haven't had time to fiddle much.

:good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] The Legendary Odyssey:
No prob...this is the most stable aosp rom! Love it, thanks for your work and for bringing this to the sprint variant. Soon...Kitkat!

A blue light goes on every time the screen sleeps. Is there a way to disable it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Braneless:
Forgive me, as I'm new to the lp900, but I've looked everywhere and am confused about restoring the stock rom with MC2 modem: will I be ok if I restore stock 4.1.2 w/MC2? I've backed up efs but don't want to deal with lost imei BS.

Latest Slim is running great, I just want to make sure I'll be ok if I need to revert. TIA.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleshepic:
Yeah if you do one of garwynns one click restores you will be good to go. I do em every so often to straighten things out, and yes I do the MC2 one. Never had an issue with imei etc.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleshepic:
I only get that when there is a notification, which is meant to be like that. So either get rid of your notifications or there are some options in Settings, Display...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Braneless:
Thanks for the reply. I made a twrp backup of efs and then one of efs+modem. Do you think I should also use garwynn's tool or should I be ok as is?

Edit: restored my stock backup with no issues. Couldn't get GPS lock with the latest Slim (even with gps tools from play store). Reset gps data on Touchwiz and will re-flash this rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] joseph473:
My settings are just like yours. I was getting a blue light all day yesterday. I deleted all mail and messages. I could not figure out what was causing it. However, it was gone this morning.. Strange.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Macguyver:
I've had this off and on for awhile I TW ROMs. I think its the separate tabs in the new Gmail for social, promotions etc. Idk for sure but something to check next time you get it open Gmail and check for new messages in those tabs and see if it clears.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Macguyver:
Is anybody else getting an error that gapps has stopped sometimes?

Also the camera app froze on me today
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleshepic:
I got the gapps thing once after initial flash and haven't gotten since.

Haven't had the camera issue myself, but its been known occasionally on 4.2/4.3 roms. Reboot generally fixes if occurs
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] itrs:
I had the initial gapps have failed and start up has failed. I wasn't able to do anything so I did a battery pull came from a different new rom that did the same so I think it's just the phone..... but now i can't charge phone while it's off which of course I was able to. it give the battery icon with the refreshing signal but freezes at that, is that just me?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Macguyver:
I think you need to return that to stock and get it swapped.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleshepic:
Have you tried getting to recovery? Do you have backups?

If not working after those options

Download mode(volume down + home + power), one click MC2 restore.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] itrs:
I switched over to the previous rom I was using and the battery icon doesnt freeze up when phone is up. it charges as normal... could it be the rom?

[edit] went back to this slim rom and it does seems to be somehow connected to the rom, it continues to do the freeze. even after I unplug the charger the battery stays in the "loading" stage. as pictured.

Although it does charge from entering recovery mode. It's odd and I don't think it staying on the battery screen after I unplug it is a good thing.

So new update today ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleshepic:
Away from my comp for several hours now with Fam, but it will be upcoming next I get chance to odex and package up. Was having cam and color issues for many many builds but all is good now. I've done about a build a day since last screenie so believe me when I say it'll be up when I can :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mkc90:
Okay great thanks dude
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleshepic:
SlimKat 4.4, Odexed w/gapps Package

Hit cancel then skip when it tries to activate device, this is a harmless bug with l900 4.4 builds, pay no mind, just end the activation call then hit "skip", link also posted at bottom of OP

SlimRom_4.4_Beta.1_11.28_ODEXED.zip - 258.71 MB

enjoy
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
Saweet :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleshepic:
and btw, Root access is disabled by default, you'll have to enable in developer options, which is enabled by clicking the build number in "about Phone" several Times.

in case y'all didnt know already from various 4.3+ endeavors :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
Coolio :)

...haven't gotten that far...Maybe I'm stupid but I'm not seeing a "cancel" button for activation.I get the "Welcome" screen which only has the "forward (play)" triangle button...I hit it and I get "just a sec"...Then it does activation with only a "skip" button present. Hitting "skip" gets me no service whatsoever and the ROM says "unknown" for baseband. :confused:

Clean flashed a few times now, coming from other 4.3 AOSP Dirty Unicorns. Still had baseband MC2 under DU. Where am I being stupid?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] aheeejd:
Thank you very much slesh, hope you had a great Thanksgiving. What a nice treat to wake up to after my turkey nap.

Do we need to be using cwm recovery?

Will we be ok to restore 4.1.2 after flashing 4.4? Is the MC2 radio compatible with this? Thanks in advance!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] aheeejd:
Well, I went ahead & flashed cwm recovery, & just like you said, I got the activation call, I hit skip, & am now setting up the rom, looks great slesh thank you . nice

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
Hmmm. I was using TWRP latest...maybe this ROM only likes CWM?

Do you have the MK4 or MC2 radio out of curiosity?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleshepic:
no you're not being stupid, I'd ask the same thing. that's strange, I've flashed over 20 diff slim builds over the last few weeks and never had that issue. Have you done stuff with the new bootloaders/modems/builds? just throwin ideas out, not sure.

Yes, restores will work fine, I've been restoring my CWM backups after every test.

Yes! maybe that's it, I'm sorry I should have mentioned, I'm Using CWM Recovery and not TWRP. 4.4 doesnt seem to like TWRP yet on our phones. Updating OP

notice my build says "beat" not beta, obviously disregard just a silly typo :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
BRB...getting CWM and then trying flashy flashy again... Will edit...

Well, Slechy. Looks like I'm SOL until 4.4 plays better with TWRP.

I have so far wasted 20 minutes trying to install CWM and get rid of TWP...and I have yet to succeed getting CWM to actually boot up as my recovery. About the only things I haven't tried are Odin'ing back to unrooted stock and rerooting. Nothing I do gets TWRP 2.6.3.0 to go away. Hopefully TWRP and the CM people can get TWRP to work better.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] theclerk74:
What about ROM Manager? It shows that I have both CWM and TWRP installed. I used it to go from CWM touch to regular ol' CWM since none of the 4.4 roms seem to like that one too.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
ROM Manager was the first thing I tried. It claims to have installed CWM, select "reboot into CWM" and I get greeted with TWRP.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Braneless:
Maybe you can install cwm through rom manager, perform a normal reboot, then boot into cwm. Worth a shot if you haven't tried it, I guess.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
For ALL YE stuck on TWRP and not wanting to unroot!

Finally after some last ditch googling, I found a neat app called "Recovery-Tools", that will flash either CWM or TWRP. It was the only thing that finally got rid of TWRP 2.6.3.0 and got CWM on my handset.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mkc90:
So I cant install this rom with twrp ???
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cuezaireekaa:
gonna need clockwork recovery for this one

hrmm, seems to have been explained already ... only a post or two above yours, slesh explains..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] q711179:
Activated ART instead of delvich, bad idea and put me in a boot loop after a reboot. So folks please learn by my mistake.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] simple man:
I wonder what the difference is, I've been using ART on CM11 Unofficial 11/26 build without issues. But on Android Police they warned it could cause constant/fast force closes on AOSP builds. I just took a chance and it's working well. After reboot it takes about 10 minutes to convert all the apps. Quite a bit longer than a standard dalvik cache rebuild.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] q711179:
I meant to post Dalvik, ?

---------- Post added at 12:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:46 AM ----------

Perhaps I didn't give it long enough time before calling it a boot loop,but your right it was much longer than normal, can't really say how long I let it run, but after ten minutes I would have figured something not right,
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] aheeejd:
I see you got cwm installed. Good. I was wondering what rom you were on where cwm would not work because I experienced the same exact thing back when the 1st cm 11 test rom came out. I just can't remember, I was probably on pac man, or carbon. I know I was on an aosp. And as soon as I flashed a different rom, rom manager worked like a charm. Anyways, glad you got it figured out.

Was coming off Dirty Unicorns 4.3.1, was on Slim before that ROM existed, since SlimROM since the project started. Always used TWRP since my HTC EVO4G days when TWRP became available and CWM kinda stunk.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mkc90:
Skripka

I tried the app u recommended but didnt work.. I tried flashing cw recovery but nothing happens .. well an error appears ..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleshepic:
I got cwm through ROM Manager as our device is supported, is this not working for people? You can Odin it as well
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
Nope, every single option in ROM Manager failed at overwriting TWRP...or getting CWM to appear on reboot (ROM Manager claimed to have "installed successfully"). The Recovery-Tools app I linked above is the only thing that finally zapped TWRP 2.6.3.0
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleshepic:
Or there's the note 2 toolkit in orig section. I know people have been using that too. So I guess if ROM manager fails try skripkas recommended app, Odin, or toolkit. Thx
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] q711179:
I used ROM manager to switch from TWRP to CWM, worked fine, kinda strange using it after a few years.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mkc90:

You guys do realize there are cwm and twrp zips you can flash in both to get both? I've use them several times... If I want cwm I just flash its zip in twrp... when I need twrp I flash the twrp zip in cwm... easy peasy...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mkc90:

Sure, I can even do better than that... here they are... both flashable. Can't remember where I got them but whomever made them I give thanks!

TWRP

CWM

No need to format or wipe anything...

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] JayDean03:
Unmount and remount the SD card. Worked for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleshepic:
Some people have mentioned a few sd and root issues, I hope for these to be ironed out in the next few 4.4 builds
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
Didn't have the option to remount in the ROM...claimed my SD card had bad or no data and needed formatting....after a few reboots and trying to remount the SD in CWM, it reappeared in ROM. Woulda sworn it was there on first boot. Dunno.

No probs, amigo. :highfive:

Only other anomaly is on boot I get a phantom voicemail notification...which I suspect is something hinky on Sprint's end. Although it goes away (until next reboot) if I force close the Phone apk.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mshnayde:
Can someone help me out I reformatted the card and now it won't see it at all. Can't find a good app to format it either.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] The Legendary Odyssey:
My 64gb microsd is formatted to fat32 and shows up fine on slimkat. However, I did have root issues. I enabled root in developer options and when i tried to access an app that requires root it did not grant permissions. Root checker also said no root access. So i used kingo to root and now all is well. Love the rom, can't wait for more features!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mshnayde:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jok3sta:
Ahh ok. Thanks man. I was a little worried because I love this rom. That would have been a deal breaker. Ill wait for a fix. No biggie
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cuezaireekaa:
yeah i hear ya. it was a deal breaker for me, so ive since fell back to 4.3. lol (i like the game a lot ok! ;p)

there are few other apps i use too often that dont play well with 4.4 yet but most are dropping betas and updates like crazy so it should be real soon that things start working...

dont mean to stray too far from the subject in this thread but i wanna add... you should try out GT racing 2 by gameloft. its physics are not bad! its no RR3, but its really not too bad (if racing sims are your thing) also its not arcadey like asphalt 8
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jok3sta:
Yah I have gt racing 2. Its pretty good. A little cartoony but good. I uninstalled asphalt. Too cheesy for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ttkyles:
Wow this worked for my 64gb card formatted to fat32 and being recognized fine on CM 11
