I want to try this, but afraid that i won't be able to get back to my 4.1.2 Samsung stock rooted rom. If I do complete backup of my existing installation, and then do factory reset as well as format system and boot, and install this ROM.

If things don't work as I want to, can I just redo the factory wipe including system and boot, and restore from nand backup using TWRP.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] SwimDrewid:
Ditto.

Way to go, Blownco!

Anyone anyone can answer my question?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] roughneckboren:
If they dont work then all you have to do is restore. The process does all the work. The only thing you may have to do is delete the 0 file left over in your file structure. Just Google it if you dont know what that is
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rhaneyjr:
The recoveries are different. That may be something you'll have to Odin to get back

I'm getting this same error when exchange crashes, so I tried to use Touchdown, but I don't think their app is 4.3 ready because the graphics on the app blink on and off. But I have observed that behavior on all the 4.3 roms I have tried so far so I am pretty sure it is touchdown issue.

Tell Tyler to quit crashing my exchange.apk ;)

Otherwise this is easily the best 4.3 rom on GNote2 I have tried so far. The graphics scroll smoothly and the sound on norifications and stuff is nice and loud. I am going to run this as my daily driver for a couple days and see how it shakes out. Thank you for the great work :)

Today's strangeness with the newest build(on top of GRS)..the clock disappears. When I am in an app that shows my status bar it's there, or when I go in the the app drawer it comes back but then when i go to the main screens it disappears..never seen this before!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] starche_old:
Clock I'd still in for me.

BTW, starting from 2am today Google rolling 2Mb update for N7 to fix GPS and touch issues. While other folks reporting GPS issue on non-N7 devices, I would think it's more 4.3 issue rather then N7 one. Thus it would be nice if can look at that and implement it either as upstream (CM) fix either as ROM specific one.

actually that is google's attempt at notifying the users of which apps are hidden and running in the background.

Applications will have to be re-written

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DM_Sledge:
I've had some Tyler's but nothing consistent to report. My only consistent issue is it not picking up satellites for GPS. I can still get my location. If I disable wireless location GPS turns on again. Is this just the 4.3 system off providing location without GPS and disabling GPS when it has location?

I am on the August 23 build.1.RC

I've had one reboot and one sod so far.

What is the best way to fix apps from saying I don't have an sd card? I feel there has to be a mapping issue since I can see everything on it but some apps don't see it or I have to manually type the location in..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] BigBison420:
in TWRP Clear dalvik, wipe cache, fix permissions, reboot
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] SwimDrewid:
Sounds as if there is some conflict with data associated with the restore.

And if what Big Bison says don't do the trick, then go Blanca on the ROM: wipe, reflash, and then restore just the app (not data) from tb.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] LancerV:
If you restore with TiBackup dont restore any user data

OK scratch that. Im actually not getting any force closes yet. Thought I was running this but I was running probam. Lol. Totally forgot what i flashed. Running this now. All is well. Thanks blownco! I swear I'm an idiot sometimes.

I flashed RC1 on Friday. Seems that the Alpha versions were superior to the RC1. Yesterday, I only got 6 hours of battery life with little to no use before having to swap out batteries. The backgroun app crashing has been persistent (even after clearing cache/fixing permissions). There hasn't been a nightly since Thursday.

Same issue. Sometimes it will make playback skip every single second while locking up the phone and making it 10x hotter -- eventually it will reboot itself. I suggest just going back to 4.2.2 if you depend heavily on Bluetooth playback like I do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] topnomi:
That was not my experience at all. I found the bluetooth on 4.3 to be more stable than 4.2.2.

With 4.2.2 sometimes the phone will freeze, till i turn off whatever bluetooth device it's connected to (or pull the battery).

This never happened on 4.3.

I also never had that playback skip you're referring to on 4.3.

This could be an aspect of different usb versions. I have the following devices

I found that the issue might be the phone going into deep sleep. If you unlock the phone and have the screen on, the bluetooth connects fine and playback works too but once the screen turns off the audio starts skipping and bluetooth is wonky. Turning on the screen again results in smooth playback and bluetooth working as it should. This is on the 8-26 nightly btw. I think BT worked fine for me with no problems in the alpha build of this thread. Did not try rc1.
