K... Odd. Because after that line was fixed that was causing the updater failure dwither booted it right up. I'll check into it tho

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] aaronuser:
I get "failed" as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dimex:
Very eager to try your ROM. Been lurking on your ext2 performance mod post since the beginning.

Quick question before this ROM gets up and running:

If I, for some reason, want to restore the backup of my current ROM after testing yours, will the restore change the file system back from ext2 to ext4?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Admiral Sir Manley Power:
Yes it will. If you want twrp to restore back to ext4 just make sure that box in settings isn't checked.

It seems there is another issue lingering that, again, unfortunately got away from me, or chance? Dwitherell and I both were able to get it up and running after he caught that little extra ) in the updater script.

Just make a back up, and flash on! Is what I say. Maybe it was a fluke.

Don't fix permissions after you flash it, though.

Sent from my SM-N900T
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dimex:
If I were to restore AND I kept the box CHECKED, would it restore to my previous ROM and keep the ext2 fs, or would it not boot because it's not optimized for ext2?

Last question, I swear!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Admiral Sir Manley Power:
Ah, I do see what you are getting at now.

Yes if you left the box checked, it would basically just delete files rather than reformat the file system. Your file system would remain ext2, and the kernel you just flashed in my ROM would also remain, you would basically boot into your previous ROM with a new kernel and ext2 file system for /system

Make sense?

And questions are good, don't ever not ask a question because you feel you might be thought of as annoying or sounding ignorant or something like that.

You need anything else just ask

Sent from my SM-N900T
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dimex:
Yes, makes sense. I was under the assumption that a backup, when restored, would restore the kernel you were using when you made the backup. Would it restore the previous kernel if I backed up not just system and data, but also boot, or does that "rm -rf" box preserve file system and kernel by default?

Hopefully I made sense.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Admiral Sir Manley Power:
Yes "boot" is partition 8 on the main block. Kernel.

If you back up and restore that partition it will write over the kernel flashed from my ROM

How do you know if you can run Morfics kernel?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Admiral Sir Manley Power:
If it boots and runs longer than a day without a reboot lol. Daniel is a funny guy, he build stuff that will work on his device and if it works on his device that is good enough for him which I totally agree with by the way lol. Like yeah I'm going to overclock to 2 GHz... It works? Sweet. Done. Lol.

Also you guys a little bit of an update on the ROM. Figured out what was causing the issue so we'll try again in about an hour here. All of the issues being reported are in the updater script no big deal I'm just not used to sitting use up by myself this is my first one so please be patient lol. I'm a linux guy all of the syntax script I'm not used to. Should have it pinned down now though

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] free2saute:
Got it to boot but after doing the su settings and letting it sit for 10 minutes rebooting over and over ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] NeoAndroid:
Unfortunately, i too had a succesful boot but i think my Note can not run Morfic's kernel hence the botloop.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Squilchi:
im running it and am trying to change the settings in trickster mod. everytime i hit the check mark to apply it freezes i dont have the pro key for the app if that matters.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Admiral Sir Manley Power:
I don't think the boot looping is the kernel...

For those having the issue with boot loops, boot to recovery and fix permissions, then when you boot up, check the box in SU that says "trust system apps" that might fix it.

Forgot to tell you guys also in the OP, I got rid of that fugly stock boot animation. Check out the boot animation app by jrummy apps on Google play. Great app.

Also, the trickster mod settings locking up, when you boot up, apply the voltage settings I recommended FIRST then do the over clocking part, then change governor and governor settings, in that order. Apply each changed setting immediately after changing it...

So... Change all voltage settings... ALL.... From 2 GHz down to 1.1 GHz... THEN apply them. Move to over clock part.

If it still locks up, go into settings, clear data for the app, then delete it from /system/app with a file explorer, then boot to recovery and wipe dalvik cache... When it boots back up re-install it from the play store. If it STILL locks up.... Morfics kernel hates your life. Lol and I will modify a stock one.

EDIT*** the point of all this is simply that sometimes apps don't like being zipped up into a ROM, they crash and do weird things. These steps are simply to rule out that as a reason why it is locking up. Also, after doing all of this (before downloading the app again), reinstall superSU. Which is done from the settings in super SU... all the instruction for the process is there

Sent from my SM-N900T
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Admiral Sir Manley Power:
Lmao... Also.... You will notice tsm parts in settings. That is because I didn't have any of the update Google apps... But I did have dwithers ROM sitting there... So rather than scroll through and pick them out one by one I copied his entire /system/app directory to mine lol. And also used his aosp MMS and framework file for aosp MMS... Haha. So you can thank him for that... This project is so bastardized right now it is hilarious.

I'm running it right now tho... No issues. Veddy fast

Do me a favor, if you don't mind, open up the camera? Previous user said his camera wasn't working. I want to confirm it was an isolated event... Mine is perfectly fine.

Morfics kernel is the bread and butter of this ROM bro, seriously. The guy does it extreme but knows his ***t. Runs better than stock for me, and way faster. Play zombie highway, major mayhem, nova3, indestructible, and dead zone with not a single blip or stutter. No other kernel on this device (and I've tried them all) does that for me.

Run a quadrant too 0.o

Update, my camera is working fine by the way.

Wicked fast ROM, could this mod possibly become the norm for all developers?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sladesy:
got it working. running fast and flawless so far. excellent job
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Admiral Sir Manley Power:
I believe it should be. There is no reason for safety valves that hinder performance IMO if you are rooted with twrp and able to make backups and copies of backups. Devs are more than welcome to take this stuff line for line to implement it. I'm not doin this for money bro.

Tap out the speedo is what I say, and make a back up. Optimization at its finest guys. These are powerful, no doubt, as they come out of the box. But you'll see real world speed improvements running this for sure.

I'll try to work on this superSU issue later today so the process of installation isn't so dragged out - deleting trickster, reinstalling superSU, etc etc.

The voltage settings as instructed in my other thread are mandatory, however. You will need to set that exactly as I instructed if you run morfics kernel

So figured what the hell, I'm still stuck in Virginia until Friday so I'll give it a shot.

No issues here except the following..

TSMP force closes, or settings not adjustable, selectable, just don't function. If it's there, should at least be functional. Tried fixing permissions, not the issue. Gotta be able to adjust the notification bar!! :D

AOSP keyboard?, should be an option

No S Pen apps included

Other than those couple of issues ( and those are subjective ) pretty stable thus far..:thumbup:

No disrespect... but I have read and am only asking and stating what is in all posts that discuss performance figures that quadrant scores are not accurate? I dont know how many posts say that, that antutu is more accurate and a true compariaon? I am no expert just asking, which one is correct when determining performance?

Also,

For those with cant connect to camera, everytime I have this issue I place this in system/data/cfw folder and set permissisions to rw-r-r and solves issue

If helps please hit thanks

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Admiral Sir Manley Power:
They are good for getting an idea of your own device's performance alone. Between various set ups.

And they are more accurate than most people give credit... Simply because they don't understand how the software works. It is designed to put stress on your hardware similar to what a CPU stress test does, only deference is they measure your outputs to see how fast your device processes the data.

Load a stock kernel... And run the tahji benchmark for example. Then load morfics... Your fps will be clearly better on the over clocked "tuned" up version of the stock one.

Same thing with quadrant.

Same with antutu.

Compared against different set ups on your own device, take those average scores to bank, because they are accurate in depicting real life performance

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] slice2011:
Yeahhh success. . Awesome and real fluid. I do have a question as I can run the kernel no issues at all, ran it without 1 hiccup when I flashed your mod on tweaked. I searched couldnt find this answer. When I was monitoring cpu's in trickster in the info section, I noticed that core0 and core3 the frequencies mirror themselves with core 3 never going offline, I know core0 shouldnt, correct, unless off, deep sleep? But core 3 should? What is happening is they both will start 200, then a sec later go to 800, then a sec later 2000, then back to 200, then 700, then 1700 and so on, with core 3 never going offline, core 1 and 2 go offline. With that said I flashed perseus and core 1, 2, and 3 go offline with core 0 going down to 200 and flucuates normally. I have made all the settings as outlined in post 72 to morfic kernel from the original mod. Is this normal behavior as I havent noticed this on other ones when monitoring and really want to use morfic but it is hitting the battery hard.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Admiral Sir Manley Power:
No you are fine, that is how it behaves stock. You didn't see it, but cpu2 will go offline pretty regularly too. This activity you are seeing is pretty normal.

Other kernels try to implement different hot plug drivers and so forth, and although this does save a little bit of battery (not much to be honest) performance suffers greatly. I have yet to see any governor run on this device as good as the the stock Pegasus governor. Samsung did a fine job at it, and it is the best option for the note ii IMO based on what I see irl gameplay/performance.

Even morfics kernel combo of ondemand and deadline doesn't perform as well as Pegasus.

But yeah, that is normal.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] farfromovin:
Well, my quad was about 1000 points lower than yours but I may have not let it cool down long enough after an AnTuTu run. In either case, I was shocked to find out no exFat support.

However, this ROM has made me decide to format my card even though I've been trying very hard to keep it exFat. I really like your style mix. Stock theme except for the toggles and status bar, AOSP keyboard and MMS. 2 things I'm always putting on anyway. Most importantly, all the speed tweaks should make for one of the most powerful gaming ROM setups for our Note2's. If you want to game, you gotta run TW and I feel the speed tweaks with just a few minutes of running this setup.

Been a huge Trinity fan since the GN and its always good. The lack of USB fast charge kills me but I'm trying to cope lol. Thanks for the ROM.

First let me say thanks for the rom and kernel combo. i love the theming, everything you need from aosp with almost everything you need from TW.

On that note when i go to settings and TW tweaks and I click on lockscreen settings it crashes. I followed the op to the "T" and data wiped before and after flash. Any fixes I can do or can you fix this in the next version.

Just switched over from Jedix16 to this and have to say, really impressed with how stable it seems to be. Nice job!

CPU3 keeps jumping up in freq with nothing running except trickster, which seems odd. Keeps going from 200 -> 1000 -> 800 -> 200. Is anyone else getting this?

PS: Any way to get S Note back?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Admiral Sir Manley Power:
Yeah just find the apps from, say, Jedi, and drop them into /system/app and just reboot
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dimex:
So, every time I apply the overclock settings as pointed out in the OP, and follow the directions exactly, the phone will lock up upon next reboot. Then, the following launch it says: Trickster Mod - Dirty Reboot: set on boot disabled.

So I'm guessing I can't run Morphic's kernel? If so, that sucks because I was looking forward to the overclocking.

Also, is there any way to go back to the stock TouchWiz launcher? I prefer that over Apex. I froze Apex like a retard and messed things up lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pyraxiate:
You can run any kernel . You arent stuck with just the stock or morfics. It will just mount the ext2 partitions as ext4 with the journaling disabled. Unfortunately you have to use a rom built on touchwiz to get twlauncher. You can however take a rom like jedi ( with touchwiz ) and convert it to be ext2 so you still get the overall speed enhancements.
