So I'm thinking I might have to factory reset like in a clean flash then ext2izer...then restore my back up... Thoughts?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] psycho4us4:
I'm not sure if Verizon note 2s have the same partitions as att and tmobiles. I do know the only partition that is different between the att and tmobile is the modem. Try it and report back. If you get messed up they have excellent support on that thread. Good luck
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] psycho4us4:
What I did was start fresh. Wiped everything except external. Then installed rom and kernel. Reboot to make sure you have a stable system. if system is stable back to recovery to flash ext2inizer.zip. reboot. Profit.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] benji667:
2/3 in buisiness :) cache didnt format to ext2 tho

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] psycho4us4:
??? I didn't know that was possible. Can you pull the battery for 30 sec. Put it back in and try to get download mode. Power button+home button+volume down button all at the same time. Do you get any lights at all? Does the phone respond to anything?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] benji667:
**** it wont do anything past saying galaxy note 2 (!!!! no recovery no download!!!!!

No problem. As long as you have download mode your phone is ok.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] benji667:
still aint booting past saying galaxy note 2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] psycho4us4:
I thought you said you have download mode. Did you try to install Odin if you can't get into recovery this is the only way. Can you get into recovery power button+home button+volume up button? If so restore a backup. What happened to cause this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] benji667:
ok i can get recoveryy but i just remembered i had twrp... any ideas
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] psycho4us4:
Great do you have a backup you can restore? If not don't wipe anything just flash your rom and reboot. It should boot up fine. Let me know
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] benji667:
i am having no luck past having cwm and that doesnt really help seeing as i cant restore a twrp backup do u have a gmail?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] psycho4us4:
Glad your phone is running again. At least you gained some knowledge out of all this +.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] billb23ok:
Hi ben seems your having the same problems I had when formating to ext2. First off only use a small size sdcard like 8 gb or 4 gb. If you already have one that size format it. Then put the files you need on it to flash your rom and the ext2 aroma mod. The wipe phone using only twrp install rom dont reboot install mod. From your earlier post the mod wasnt restoring your system thats why it stayed at the samsung logo. If it does it again after my way of installing it try a different sdcard. I had the same problems and it was my sdcard causing the problem. Hope this helps. Dont forget that the rm-rf must be checked at all times
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] benji667:
i dont have any cards that small all i have is a 64 now ... i lost the 16 i had and 16 was the lowest... yesterday before an incident i had gotten all but cache to convert to ext2... and i think i got that to work by restore wipe. run ext2inizer no back no recover. no reboot and install jedi...

so based off that what do you reccommend?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] billb23ok:
Wont work with 64gb I tried
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] benji667:
if i find my old 16 u think it will ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] billb23ok:
Yes 16gb ok try it but lets get bsck on topic now you have everything you need to do thisbmod between psycho4us4 and my post

---------- Post added at 08:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:45 AM ----------

Over the next few days I am trying all kinds of system and user apps to see which ones look good

Mulit window and these dpi changes and Alexander theme on my jedi rom are looking good tks again psycho4us4 Never thought my phone could fit so much on one screen
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] benji667:
ok but he said it was ok to talk here.... but ok
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] psycho4us4:
What your not telling him is your 64g card was messed up from day one. How are you 100% a 64g chip won't work. Just curious if a better quality chip would work. I don't think it had anything to do with chip size. But everyone had their own opinions.

No offense of course just like to bring out all the facts
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] psycho4us4:
Is cool bro I always like to help people in need.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] benji667:
its a fairly new chip and its class 10
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] psycho4us4:
I didn't say it would or would work cause I never tried myself. All I was saying is bill said it won't work with a 64g chip. This is his experience with it. I was looking for proof if anyone has any.

I would ask [MENTION=4041997]dwitherell[/MENTION] in the ext2 thread if it makes a difference what size chip you have. He should know for sure.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] benji667:
well good news i borrowed a smaller card from a co worker it worked... so now i have that working and jedi back up but now jedi home keeps crashing...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] psycho4us4:
great, so at least we know now that at least for the I317 you have to have under 64 gigabyte external storage card
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] psycho4us4:
thanks for reporting back
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] benji667:
np any help on the crashing lol? i cleared data fixed perm.. cleared dal n cache..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] billb23ok:
I did notice ( my experience anyway) that if I reflash the rom with rm-rl check it would do system ext4 again, I think cause it formats system. so I am under the impression that If I change roms or update my rom I need to do this ext2 mod evry time. Any thoughts?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] psycho4us4:
Ya I dirty flash the rom with no wipingshould fix it just make sure that box is still checked in twrp
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] psycho4us4:
Your supposed to choose no wipe in aroma and it won't reformat
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] benji667:
ok that cache is being a real B**** it just doesnt wanna stick! this is being really freaking frustrating now lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
If you are using the aroma and already have the ext2-ified kernel in place - just flash the aroma. No extra wiping is necessary, it'll wipe things for you. Worth a shot right?

And I have no clue on how card size would play in with the exception of needing enough room to do a backup if you chose one... sorry for the lack of info on that one
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] benji667:
last time i chose no wipe i had to restore the whole phone from stock... like i mean a whole rebuild...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] psycho4us4:
Ya I agree on the size thing. Maybe twrp doesn't agree with that size on occasion? What do think about that?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
...? I'm confused. There is a no-wipe option in the aroma?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] benji667:
in my rom aroma yes i dont see a no wipe in this mod aroma and if ur talking about the back up and restore and the option for none... last time i chose none it wiped my phone CLEAAAAN.....

---------- Post added at 09:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:41 AM ----------

i do remember trying no b&r and then no reboot after and flashing my rom after worked 2/3rds but again that dam cache!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Yeah that makes sense - the format wipes it actually. This is what I would do:

- Get your phone how you want it.

- Flash the aroma

-- do the backup of both, do the restore of both - kernel doesn't matter much because...

- once that's done, flash the ext2-modified kernel (this is optional really)

Should be everything you need to do - ideally anyway :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] benji667:
just sits at 30% "backiing stuff up" then after 20 or so minutes reboots and no progress made
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Yeah I got nothin man... I'm sorry. Almost seems like one of those things where I'd have to see it/interact with it to try and better understand. Without a recovery.log I have no clue what's going on or where things are going awry - and I'm perplexed why you don't have one in /tmp while you are in recovery... I'm sorry :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] benji667:
i think i read somewhere if your updater script in your rom say ext4 anywhere you may need to change it to ext2... but this seems far fetched that im the only one to have this problem...ill check for that recovery file again tho

good news it was there now.... how shall i let u see it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] psycho4us4:
Bill has the same phone you have with this mod working properly. Your phone is weird lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] benji667:
not helping lmao jk ... gir.. id be thanking but im oout apparently lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] psycho4us4:
Me too what's up with that? You can always come back tomorrow. I sent a mod [MENTION=3125148]kennyglass123[/MENTION] a PM about it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] benji667:
i can get all ext2 when im factory reset but once i flash my rom the cache goes back....hmmmm
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
You can pull the recovery.log via adb or use the terminal interface in twrp to save the file elsewhere - for example

cp /tmp/recovery.log /sdcard/log.txt

then it'll be on your internal sdcard (you can also use external_sdcard instead of sdcard)

Seems it could be something in the rom then - perhaps there is a format cache command in the updater-script somewhere?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] benji667:
here is the recover log and the updater script .. please take a look...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] billb23ok:
Thats why I did it like I did.

Backed up

Factory reset

Format system cache delvic innernal

Install a clean rom no reboot

Installed kernel no reboot

Installed ext2 aroma mod rebooted

Got all ext2 and a working rom

Rm-rl was check and made sure between each install

I used my 8 gb SdCard cause the 64 gb would not work I would look at the twrp backups and not all files were backed up and twrp would fail when reztoring and aroma would backup then would restore really fast and I had no system

I installed everything from scratch I did not restore my apps or snything else

Oh I have since installed other things in recovery lime my theme and spen themes and I made sure rm-rl was checked my phone is still all good.

Oh and I am using twrp 2.6.0.3 jedi master 16 and saber kernel 35.6
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ash359:
I don't understand why anyone would want an 8gb internal memory if they already have 11

I tried this with my 64 and it caused problems I did not find worth working the bugs out of so I keep it the normal way.

Was too confusing where to save files and apps could not find files and several of my pictures became unreadable, then when you unmount your SD everything gets screwed

But whats not working? Your menu changed right? So the first window you open from the side bar you dont drag just tick it and it will open full screen...then the next window drag an icon from the sidebar to the bottom of the screen. Now on the first window you will have a thumb tac in the top left corner. Touch it and it will turn green. Next toch the screen on the bottom app and then hit back to close it. You should have the first app you opened as a floating window now. You did this?

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DennisVu:
I just flashed CM10.2 (unofficial build) onto my Nexus 4, and was wondering if it is possible to use the stock ROM lockscreen (the one that does NOT support custom targets) as opposed to the AOSP one (that does support the targets).

Is this just a simple apk to drop in /system/app? And if so, does anyone have the apk? Or does it involve modification to framework-res? Thanks in advance.

SOLUTION:

Go to Settings > Lock screen > Slider shortcuts. From there proceed to remove all BUT ONE of the targets (in my case, I left the one stuck on MMS). After you have removed all but one, save the configuration. It will save with all but one target blank (the one you left intact). NOW hit the reset button at the top and then save. After this you will have the stock lockscreen.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thibaultvw:
Why not just replace the quick shortcuts by "empty"? Then you wont have the shortcuts.

---------- Post added at 10:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 AM ----------

You see? I also only wanted the browser to be there.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Greefus:
You just have to hit reset. If you just delete the shortcuts you can only unlock to the 5 spots. It's just hard to know this from the UI imo.

https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-1862

I'm guessing they'll try to fix it so if you delete the the four custom shortcuts in future builds it treats it like you hit reset.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thibaultvw:
This is not true! I tried to reset it and the 5 apps remained there. And the phone apk doesnt even launch on the lockscreen.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DennisVu:
Are you on 4.2/CM10.1 or 4.3/CM10.2? Setting the shortcut to "empty" will set it in the settings but once I save and then lock the screen, the next time I unlock, all the targets remain as if I never did anything. And yes, I did hit "save" and the toast notification did appear.

That's actually a very interesting link, I'll definitely check that out on my old Gnex. But hitting the reset button acts the same way as setting targets to empty, it reverts back to what the ROM came with (all targets filled: browser, phone, apollo, MMS).

This is what I'm experiencing. The phone target doesn't launch because 4.3 has a new dialer with T9 dialing built in.

EDIT: Seems like others are reporting this issue as well. I'm aware that it's a very early stage ROM so I'm not reporting it as a bug, but rather trying to remedy the problem myself. Here's the link to a post in the ROM thread where others are reporting this issue:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=44484517&postcount=275

EDIT AGAIN: I was able to figure out how to set it up, it's very weird and found out after noticing Thibaultvw's post with one remaining target. Instructions in main post.
