Titanium Backup

Adaway
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aukhan:
Root Explorer

Adaway

Xposed framework

Simplistic Framework

Any Good Kernel, I user Perseus or Redpill

titanium backup

Viper4Android the best Audio Mod ever.

Dont forget to make a backup of EFS Really important
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SAJdroid:
Its all a personal choice , here are mine :

1. Titanium Backup Pro - Backup app

2. Terminal Emulator - running your Linux command like EFS backup and more

3. Links2SD - Move apps from internal to External SD ( Note stores all app on internal storage)

4. ROM Manager - 1 stop rom control / flash

5. Triangle Away - reset your counter

6. BuildProp editor

7. Xposed Framework - Change your UI ( ex: transparent status , battery , lock screen and many many more customization)

8. ES-File explorer

9. AdAway - now not in playstore can download from XDA.

10. Tasker - Probably the best paid app out there
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devil_slayer:
all the suggested apps are great

but it all comes down to what are u planning to do with ur device ......
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beowulf_pt:
Many were already mentioned, but to me:

Adaway (http://sufficientlysecure.org/index.php/adaway/)

Android Firewall (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jtschohl.androidfirewall)

Autorun Manager (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rs.autorun&hl=en)

Greenify (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify&hl=en)

Tasker + Secure Settings (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm&hl=en)

Titanium Backup (or similar app that allows freezes and app+data backups)

SD Maid (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.thedarken.sdm.unlocker&hl=en)

Lumberjack (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.solarnz.apps.lumberjack&hl=en)

GMD SPen (useful for gestures and for screen auto-off when inserting pen)

First thing I do to my phone:

-Freeze useless apps with Titanium

-Stop apps from auto-starting with Autorun Manager

-Add some apps to Greenify

(these steps save me lots of RAM and I guess, CPU cycles).

Then Tasker+Secure Settings for automation (in my phone it ends up replacing several apps as it can be tweaked to do lots of stuff)

Android Firewall is a must too. I have it Deny All by default and only allow apps that I know are needing Wifi or 3G access. The rest are not allowed to connect to the outside world.

Most likely you will also need something like

SuperSU https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu&hl=en

Busybox https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox&hl=en

And just for fun, why not Live Dmesg ? (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.livedmesg.lite&hl=en)

[MENTION=2791697]Beowulf_pt[/MENTION] nice list will try greenify & android firewall today :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SAJdroid:
Greenify definitely recommended ! Hibernates your App till you manually open it again. After using it , it again hibernates thereby cutting off synch and services associated to it - which means you can use that app when ever you want at the same time ensuring it doesn't keep lingering at the background when you are not using it :good: .. Till now saving me some good amount of RAM & Battery, the only drawback it cannot hibernate system apps - like Google Music , which keeps auto starting .

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] contramundi:
not much root apps i use myself though,

- titanium backup

- mobile odin (trying it out at the moment)

- gmd spen (once i switch to 4.2.2/4.3 still need to get a new sd-card first :P)

- SG USB Mass Storage Enabler (added to my list after i read about it, awesome app to get back the normal mass storage instead of the MTP connection samsung comes bundled with)

- lucky patcher (don't know if i can name that one here if not please remove this line ^^)

- adaway

there's only 2 apps i really use though, thats TB for my backups and adaway to get rid of those pesky adds :) mobile odin is something i have just i case, not something i really use on a regular basis.

gmd spen might be scratched from the list, and usb mass storage enabler as well, still gotta try out if that one actually increases anything in the transfer speed, if not i'm just gonna stick with the MTP as i can use my device at the same time then :).

[Samsung Captivate Glide] Nowaker:
I can be hardly heard during a call. And after I disable the noise suppression, the volume is good but the quality low (however, it's well enough). This problem happens only when calling. Recorded videos with sound are great. Google search by voice works OK.

I am currently using this ROM - stock UCLJ3 Rooted, Deodexed, Zipaligned http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1994902

Before UCLJ3 I was using some Gingerbread ROM, "About phone" said I927UCKI3.

I tried *#*#197328640#*#* code to run "Service Mode" application to hack some audio settings but unfortunately [5] Audio is empty, and there is nothing to hack. Both on UCLJ3 and I927UCKI3. http://www.ctrlplusz.com/2011/06/fix-for-low-microphone-volume-on-the-samsung-galaxy-s-ii/

Anyone ever had such a problem? Any ideas how to fix it or workaround it?

A good enough workaround would be to disable the noise suppression permanently but nobody knows how to do it in ICS. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1888968&highlight=suppression
[Samsung Captivate Glide] LaizureBoy:
Try this.

Hope it helps!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Nowaker:
Just tested it, doesn't turn off the noise reduction.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] LaizureBoy:
Really?

That's interesting. Perhaps its the ROM you're using? It worked for me. Oh, you have to set up the settings, btw. Otherwise, yeah, it won't work.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Nowaker:
Oh I did. :) I currently have UCLJ3, and you?

Hello,

I have the same problem. Due to my research on web the only way to get the problems solved is to get the phone repaired because it is a hardware problem of the front speakers.

Q - Do I have to wipe before flashing??

A - YES, even if you're coming from a previous version of this ROM.

Q - I flashed (Insert kernel name) and now I'm having an issue, what should I do?

A - You can do one of two things. First one is to wipe everything and flash the ROM again and stick with the stock kernel. Everything was tested on the stock kernel and aside from what's under known issues, everything works as it should. The other thing is to find the developer of the kernel and report the bug/issue to them. Not trying to sound nasty or be rude BUT I can't and won't provide support for every kernel.

Q - I flashed the ROM and now I have an issue, what should I do?

A - Don't freak out! Pull a logcat and paste it on to pastebin and provide me a link in the thread to it. Along with the logcat, please provide me with as much information as possible. Things that you would think could help me fix this issue.....i.e what kernel you're running, what happened, what did you prior to the bug/issue.

Q - How do I pull a logcat?

A - Check out this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1726238

Q - I see (Insert developer name) has fixed this or has added this feature, are you going to do the same?

A - NO! No disrespect to that developer but I have not and will not keep up with what other developers are doing.

Q - I hate Google Voice and want to use Sprint VVM, where can I find it?

A - Remember, google is always your friend.... http://epicaokp.blogspot.com/2012/05/aokpcm9-fixed-sprint-visual-voicemail.html

Q - Is it OK to ask for ETA's?

A - Unlike other developers (no disrespect to them) I have no issues with people asking for ETA's but PLEASE keep in mind this. I'm horrible at keeping deadlines when I give out ETA's for fixes or features or updates. LIFE tends to hit when you least expect it and with that said, I hate to do it because it pisses people off to be told Monday and the update doesn't come til Thursday. So with that said, you can ask for ETA's but is very likely that I will ignore this

Q - How do I change my APN's?

A - Please see this thread for that http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=40114009

Since this thread seems to be abanded, I'll make a new thread for DU 4.3. All credits go to Alex Cruz (Mazda) for providing the source code. Can't wait to interact with you guys and to gain experience. Thanks all :)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Skeeredfitless:
I noticed the battery life was goood when the phone was in deep sleep. When it wss used fairly hard I wss going through two batteries easily when stock I was not. I love everything about this rom otherwise. I used the conservative governor. What is everyone else's findings and thoughts?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wetbiker7:
Just flashed and this baby is running beautifully! Very nice. :D

Thanks for this ROM. This is the 1st AOKP ROM I've ran on my GS3. Been waiting awhile and it looks like I've found the right one.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wetbiker7:
Bro, lmao..... I just read the entire thread and found your link for 4.3. Excellent work!! I'm running it now and it's smooth as can be.

I can't believe I missed it the 1st go around. I'm very glad I sat down and took the time to read through entire thread. :D

I'm stoked and looking forward to your new thread. If this is a taste of things to come, I know exactly where I'm staying..... with Dirty Unicorns. :good:

Awesome work! Thanks go out to you, EverDeathly and the rest of the guys (Mazda & Team Dirt). This ROM is a beautiful piece of work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EverDeathly:
Lol, thanks man :) An official thread is comming soon. i take no credits, its the team that has done a wonderful job. :D

p.s. building a update, will test and share soon ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] duce415:
I've been on dirty unicorn 4.2 for a while now. Is it really worth updating to 4.3? Just curious. 4.2 with the BMS kernel has been running smooth for me for a while now. Any benefits to 4.3 ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EverDeathly:
Hell yes. 4.3 is much more better than 4.3. 4.3 has more features except they removed PA hybrid engine.

p.s. to those of you curious I made a build but can't get passes boot animation. I'm currently working on it as we speak. Also a thread is coming but not from me. The official mainter is waiting till the official DU update drops. Thanks all :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EverDeathly:
EDIT: i was planning on sharing a preview to the official update but unfortunately cant get it to run past boot animation. looks like we all have to wait till the official maintainer to drop the new thread :) the guys are working the best they can on this update, look forward to something kick-ass. later guys :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wetbiker7:
Gotta question for ya. Any idea why the custom 4.3 kernels work with this 4.3 version? The 4.2 kernels worked well with the 4.2 version. What changed that is affecting the custom kernels. I've tried them all. They'll flash and the phone will boot up but the screen is all messed up. Pretty sure it has something to do with DPI but not positive.

Not complaining or anything either because this ROM runs great with the stock kernel. I'm just curious and was wondering if you knew what's up.

Thanks and looking forward to the update!!! :D

Definitely a better UI. Instead of the ROM settings being all over the place, they are all listed in ROM Control which I find very helpful.

Also, this baby runs smoooooooth. I've got several of my buddies running it and they luv it. Really looking forward to the update. ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EverDeathly:
I dont for sure but I've heard CM changed around somethings around that affected the kernels that aren't updated. Check if there's an update in the kernel you want and the problem. Should be fixed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wetbiker7:
OK, I'll give it a look. I just flashed all the newest custom 4.3 AOSP kernel versions and they all did the exact same thing. Severely distorted screen.

I'll stay on it though and read through the kernel threads and see if I can find anything. May just wait for the update to drop before trying again. I'll see what's up.

I'll post back if I find out what's going on.

Thanks for the quick reply.

EDIT: The most up2date kernel I've found is the DKP . IT's a test build that was last updated 10/27. Think I'll hold off since I need something that's stable atm. Don't need my phone going nutz on me during an important call. Not a thing wrong with this stock kernel 4 sure. Stable as can be so far. May just stick with it for now and keep up2date on it's thread.

Probably has something to do with the update to CM you were talking about since it happened with all the 4.3 kernels I tried. Probably haven't been updated yet except for possibly the 1 DKP kernel. I'll give it some thought. I may test it this weekend.

Thanks again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EverDeathly:
I've tried with Lean Kernel & BMS and I didnt get distortions at all. Idk maybe I'm just lucky. No problem man :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Notorious:
Cm updated their video drivers so ROMs that havent been updated after a certain day won't work with the new kernels. If you flash a kernel and the ROM hasn't been updated for the new drivers it causes the color distortion
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wetbiker7:
If you would , please share the kernel build you used with each? I would appreciate it.

BAM!! You just hit the nail on the head. Makes perfect sense because I was getting some crazy color and size distortions. Thanks

Those must be the changes you heard about EverDeathly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EverDeathly:
well f*ck .-. yeah so i tried 10/19 bms kernel and has color problems and my display went black after boot animation. i think its figured out by know but not sure. CM, i love you and appreciate you, but sometimes i cant stand your changes :crying:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wetbiker7:
Lol. No sh*t. I know what you mean. It's all good though. Things will get straightened out eventually.

How about the Lean kernel? That's actually one that I didn't test. I may just have to give it a try later on this evening. May even try the newest test version of the dkp kernel. Good chance it'll work since it's build is only 3 days old. I'll let you guys know what's up. :D

Tested the DKP test build from 10/27/13 and I got the same results as with the other kernels. Still getting the color distortion. :(

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wetbiker7:
Don't try it bro. I tried it about 20 minutes after I made my last post and got the same results as the DKP kernel. Looks like we're gonna have to wait a little bit until they get caught up. :thumbup:
