Does "Use only 2G networks" work for others?

I had clean-flashed 1.261 and I was camping in VT without easy access to recharging so I tried switching to 2G only to get more use between when I could recharge. When I checked the box, the option would dim like it was trying to make the change but it stayed that way. I tried hitting the home button and then going back into the settings to see if it succeeded but it would just be back to un-selected with no error. I just clean-flashed 1.275 and I have the same problem.

It certainly is a very minor issue since I rarely to never use it but I figured I would mention it. This is great ROM by the way - thanks again Will. :good:

Been trying to kill my battery since the release of the new update so that I could crack flash it but this damn phone does not want to die.

Amazing performance and battery life.

Once again, thank you Will and Scott for bringing this goddess like rom.

Can't wait to update.

Note: only 3.5 hours screen time but still had 45% life left.

Versions of contacts/people app

I've flashed a lot of different ROMs (like most of us) and I use haxync to sync hi-res pictures from facebook. On some ROMs in the contacts app I can just click and hold the contact and a menu will come up with delete, join, etc. On this latest version 1.275, holding does nothing. I have to click the contact, hit the menu icon, choose edit, then hit the menu icon again and choose join. I then can join the google and facebook contacts.

I import all of my facebook contacts because the fuzzy search misses some and therefore I choose to delete many facebook contacts. Does anyone know if there is a different version of the contacts app that I can flash that would work with this ROM and have the menu as soon as you click and hold the contact? Hopefully, that is clear.

Damn I'm jealous because that's the one I've been wanting to do but I just haven't had time yet. I'm definitely familiar with Android (to say the least) but I haven't ever messed with anything "theming" related yet, so I was just curious about how long it took you to do everything and how difficult you thought it was, if you wouldn't mind sharing? I just wanted to kind of get an idea on what kind of job I'll be tackling because I seriously have to get that Ghostbusters one, so I'm definitely going to give it a shot on my next day off! :D.

What other kernel can I use with this ROM for Over clocking? ForcedKernel didn't work and SaberKernel either. Both had my phone Boot looping on the beanstalk animation. I cleared all cache and even did a format data. But still boot loops.

Hey folks. I love this ROM. best AOSP ROM ever tried.

All of you guys are satisfied with battery life, but not me unfortunately. I get 3 hrs of screen time on %40 screen brightness. Installed Greenify to hibernate some background process and I'm running Devil kernel.

As you can see my phone rarely goes into deep sleep mode and Android OS is on most of the time. Any suggestions? Need help.

Saber kernel is TW, and I think force is TW as well... you need AOSP kernels... there is SOAP (same dev from force), NEAK (also included here) and there is Devil, which actually supports both TW and AOSP

Running devil kernel and have not had the same issue. Running very good and using CPU spy and it is going into deep sleep. Here is what is did, don't know if it matters or not but I wiped cache and dalvik, installed kernel, wiped cache and dalvik and rebooted and let sit for a couple minutes to settle. Like I said don't know if that way matters but stating how I did and no issues.

Hey thanks I appreciate the link but I actually saw it already (and subscribed) from your earlier post. I haven't had enough time to thoroughly go over everything that's required to make it happen so that's just why I was asking him how difficult it was. Or are you saying the ones that are there are ready to flash without needing the modifications specified in your thread? I definitely don't mind doing it myself but I just haven't the had time to mess with it yet, but if you're saying those are ready to just flash that would be awesome!

Those mods are for people that want to resize the image themselves, basically you download zipthemer, update it for your current build, select the zip that I provide, and build a flashable zip then reboot into recovery and for example if you wanted the storm trooper helmet you would flash starwars.update or something along those lines, the first time it takes a couple min extra to make sure its right but after that first flash you can be done in 3 min

Well I could be wrong but I think what he meant was that the Spen is not officially supported on aosp roms, which is absolutely correct. It does not mean that it will not work though, it just means that you can't use Samsungs Spen stuffs like Snote, hoverview, gestures, and so on. Like others have said though, there are a lot of apps that you can get that'll get you pretty close to the same experience (personally I like the GMD Spen Control app because it let's you assign the pen attach and detach sounds and it's amazing how many gestures you can create with it). I waited a pretty long time to try an aosp rom because I was afraid of missing out on the TW Spen features, but now that I've been running an aosp rom (especially Beanstalk) I just wish I would've done it sooner! :D

To users with poor battery life:

I've had terrible battery life for the last 6 days. According to CPU Spy my processor was running at full speed (1600 mhz) and was not slowing down. I have tried Greenify (best battery saver app) and tried disabling some aggressive power hungry apps. Tried switching kernels, factory resetting etc no result. Processor was still running at full speed. Some sucker app was sucking juice from my battery :D.

Anyways I solved my problem so far by:

Formatting my Internal storage (backed up all data into dropbox) and this time I did not restore all apps through Titanium backup. I let the Google play to do this. So far so good.Battery Reborn Widget tells me 1 day and 2 hrs until my battery dies where before it would tell me 5 hrs :). Oh and my CPU is running at 200 mhz when idle compare to 1600mhz before :eek:

I also calibrated my battery.

This might or might not help someone, i just wanted to post it here.

Edit: what I have notice is that if I load kernel right after I update ROM clean install with devil I peg 1600 so I load ROM run it for a couple of days using bake in kernel(neak) then load devil and never had the problem again hope this helps in future seems you had to run around the block to get it fix but I'm sure using beanstalk worth every bit of it aloha Rob one what recovery are you using?

Ok well I'm definitely not just trying to make the mystery deeper, but I've also taken quite a hit in battery since I flashed this last update. Just to clarify though I haven't recorded any hard core stats or anything like that, I'm just going by what I'd usually get out of my normal usage. I also checked cpu spy and unfortunately in my case I don't really have a smoking gun with it sticking at 1600 though. I restored the exact same apps that I had running on the previous build where I was getting unbelievable battery life, and everything is setup exactly the same way. I've always just stuck with NEAK so I've also haven't had to worry about the kernel flashes you guys are talking about. Anyway I'm going to follow the steps the guy mentioned that he did just to see if it helps and I'll post my results. I'm not complaining whatsoever though just to clarify, I'm just glad I'm not the only one who's noticing a difference in battery life so maybe I'm not crazy after all lol :D

There were multiple reports of people with "pegged" at 1600 if they flashed the Devil kernel immediately after flashing a new ROM. I think the "magic" has been to allow the ROM to boot once with the included kernel and finish "initialization", etc. The length of time running the stock kernel is irrelevant I "believe". However, I also use the stock kernel for a while just to see how the ROM acts as intended by the DEV. I then flash the Devil kernel to get dual-boot and simply ensure it acts as well or better than before. The "pegged" issue may be N/A at this point with newer builds though - not sure.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Uncle Irish:
Not trying to be a dink here, but these battery life shots are insane.

I actually use my phone. Average about 2-3 hours of calls a day, hundreds of emails, same for sms/mms, bluetooth all day, music all day, a few hours of Ingress, g+, widgets, web, etc, and screen is always full brightness. I charge twice a day and average 2-2.5 hrs screen time MAX between charges. I think this would be more along the lines of "normal use" for a Note 2. If I did close to nothing on my phone but some simple web stuff at 1/2 screen brightness, I'd prolly last all day. I guess this post makes me the bad guy, but w/e...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] wase4711:
"bad guy"????

Why would that be man?

Too many people have this werid obsession with battery life, when, the truth be known, no one has the same exact set up as another person, so this obsessive battery life comparison/analysis/obsession is just plain stupid....

Like you, I use the damn phone alot, have 8 email accounts, twitter, facebook, music, pictures, texting, tweaking and everything else going on all the time, so why would I care what someone else says their battery life is?

As long as mine lasts when I am away from my car, or an electric outlet, I couldnt care less about my "screen on"time, or what percentage of charge I have left at 10pm...

I bought a lemon9300mah battery when I think I might be away from a charge for more than a day; other than that, why worry about it???

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] RichMD:
I remember seeing someone post a pic of 3 days with 11+ hours screen-on time which is BS (as you mentioned) without a huge battery or fudging the numbers. I can see "some" value in posting some info such as X hours with 50% brightness, etc. to use as an "apples to apples" "gauge" for others to see if maybe there is something "wrong" with their setup. However, it somehow became a competition and people tweak it so much that the intended "value" as a reasonable gauge is gone...
