I found Illusion before 4.3 and got it loaded now as the second rom to Beans in my dual boot setup. I like it a lot but stick to TW most of the time. However, I did just switch to Illusion for my Note 10.1 because I was dissatisfied with what TW roms are out there for it. Maybe at some point I'll go that route for good on my Note 2. As for kernel, I obviously run Devil for dual booting. I am sure I would anyways after using it now for several months as I have found it to be most stable for my use case to date. I had tried all these others and would say Faux comes in as my second choice if I was sticking to TW.

Same here. I can't stand some forums when they say UR NOT ALLOWED TO TALK ABOUT THIS ROM! IF U DO UR IN BIG BIG TROUBLE! Really? This is the internet! Gah. It is what it is. If u can let me know as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] drew_p:
I've run Pac-man rom for a while before coming back to beans. I liked it cause it had features from paranoid, aokp, and cm. Was pretty stable and customizable. I still have it backed up and switch over to it from time to time. My 2 cents.......

Wow! I can already tell ya! The battery on CM with stock kernel is horrid! Well could be worse but opposed to beans with perseus (my normal outfit) it's dropping much faster! I have had it unplugged for an hour and 45 min and 20 min screen time. I'm currently on wifi and it's at 90%. Usually I could be seeing ~95% or so.

I'm going to let it go tho. I'm going to do an all out comparison based on my normal outfit. Hmm maybe a day of true stock just rooted. Get a good comparison of stock, AOSP (CM), and custom rom/kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] freddy0872:
I was thinking of trying devil kernel after my comparison event was over. I was curious as well. But I wonder if it's just like SS where the boot is hijacked. Kinda like dual booting windows and Linux. U get a boot menu. That would be pretty slick!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cmo220:
I'm also very curious about devil kernel but also haven't tried it yet. I used to be the first to try anything but now I feel like I don't enough time to experiment. I don't know how people like Obsidian, and many others, possibly you, do it while having kids.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] freddy0872:
Yea I do enjoy trying things out and being one of the ones to give some gritty details. My 3yo son does take up alot of time as does 40hr work weeks but I try to get some of my techy time in! I'll be sure to give DEVIL a run once I'm done with my comparison tid-bit.

Me and Obsidian were usually the ones running comparable or roms or same setups on the bionic and trying to give people a hand. Him more than me but I try! :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] FormeriPhoney:
Hey guys. During my depression of still not having 4.2+ on our devices.. I've been getting the itch to try an AOSP rom.

I ran the carbon rom 3 months ago and it was buggy, no gps whatsoever and when returning back to beans my SD card location was completely ****ed up even though I flashed the zip to come back from a 4.2 rom (which I still can't fix) I must go data/media/download instead of external sd/download.

Regardless, my actual question is. Of the AOSP roms out right now, (eclipse, Cm10.2, aokp.. Etc..) which is the most solid? Most important things to me is camera & video camera functioning, gps, and decent battery.

Also, which is the proper way to go AOSP and back without losing my SD file location ?

Thanks as always to the community
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrbxx7:
Hana no prob glad u got them!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jeremiahEJ54:
Never had a device with SafeStrap, so I don't know how they compare. It works like this, you use the Devil recovery to create the second file system which to my understanding give you a folder on your SD card which ends up containing a boot.img file. You need the recovery to mount the different file systems in order to flash roms or other mods. After flagging any rom you have to be sure to reflash the Devil kernel or you will boot loop. The kernel is great, based Perseus but it's kept updated and had Ext support added recently. I would have random freezes before with Saber, never good luck with Perseus, Faux was good until I found Devil. I don't overclock, have great battery life with my usage, use I script to make Voodoo sound work. As for booting from one to the other you can reboot into recovery or use Devil tools to change which to boot and reboot. Only downfall is data is not shared between the roms for apps, but titanium helps to move from one to the other. If you got anymore questions let me know and I'll answer what I can.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] FormeriPhoney:
Obsidian. Thanks for the help. I'm very comfortable and knowledgeable on recovery and roms.

I've owned 7 android devices, all rooted and unlocked. Only bricking 1 device and had to flash a factory image to recover her.

Seems like all the AOSP roms have issues with either gps, camera or volume.

So I finally tested this app and the settings will not stick for me(selected LTE only and it immediately switches back to the default). And when I attempt to change radio band I get a force close.

Im anxiously awaiting its release believe me. Using beans now but I really liked jedi alot more. Maybe cause im a star wars nerd who knows. But x17 gave me no gps and sometimes no data at all. Some stuoid verizon issue idk. Ps the transparency mod for beans is top friggin notch. Totally gives a super sharp clean look to the phone. Def a 10 out of 10 on that!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sshafranko:
Dont forget if you try it let us know as im interested too and obsedian can maybe add it to the op what rom its been confirmed working on if he feels the need for it. So far it seems like it works on beans. Im gonna try on x18 when its out. I dont need it on tweaked as my theme has the option but I may try it later anyway without the theme.

First off, gotta give props to Obsidian for this thread. Always nice to have a classy thread on XDA created by a class act gentleman..

Obsidian wanted me to share this link here so decided to stop by and create my 1st post here..

https://www.dropbox.com/s/vmvrydlpzdc6rgf/Beans21_NoToggle_Header.zip

For anyone that is trying to make beans look completely like an AOSP rom, i made a mod that gets rid of the time/date in the pulldown bar and you can have whatever widget, app, quick setting/toggle app from the playstore you want to be up there, as long as you make it a persistant notification. Im using mappz from the play store, where it looks like this when you pull it down and has quick toggles when you swipe down on the right side of the status bar. See this link for a screenshot.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] commissionerg:
Hey guys. I'm coming to this trans-nebula from beans 21 and I'm loving it. But for some reason the sd swap is not working for me. I'm using Perseus.

Maybe it's working but the script is different than the one in beans. The reason I don't think it's working is the internal sd still shows as sdcard0 and the sd card is extstorage. In beans the script made the sd card change to sdcard0 and the internal was named extstorage.

I've only been on this rom since yesterday night. I did a clean flash from beans so I'm at a lost. Ive wiped and reflashed 4 times, and one of those I even tried it on devil. Any help would be appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrbxx7:
Have u tried the zedomax SD swap? Make sure Perseus has initd support.

Sent from my A200 using Xparent Red Tapatalk 2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] commissionerg:
No I haven't tried that one. I never heard of it. I've only used beans 21 since I've had my note 2. I was using perseus in beans' ROM so I was assuming the same should work on trans-nebula. Plus it was one of the options in the aroma installer for it... I'm wiping for a 5th time now and trying again. I'll try to find that zedomax SD if doesn't work this time.

I also tried the devil kernel with this rom, but it didn't work with it either.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jeremiahEJ54:
I know when running Devil kernel with Beans I need to choose Faux and that matching swap for it to work after flashing Devil

Deuce booted Note 2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] commissionerg:
Well that would explain why it didn't work with devil kernel, but it should have worked right with perseus...

I'm getting ready to flash right now. Do you think devil kernel is better. I'm only picking perseus because I was using it on beans and obsidian recommended it to me when I first flashed beans. I'm open for more options. I'm not too concerned with battery life. I just want to use whatever custom kernel is least buggy and has smooth performance.

Thanks for responding by the way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jeremiahEJ54:
I run dual boot so run Devil as a dd, everything has always run smooth and seems better then the others I have tired. It is based off Perseus to begin with and had been updated a few times. As always your experience might be different

Deuce booted Note 2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] commissionerg:
Thanks. I think I'll give Devil a try again. I'll select faux for the sd swap option and hopefully everything goes well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] freddy0872:
Time will tell brother!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cmo220:
The problem is Perseus kernel needs a different script from every other kernel. You have to change all the places in your script that say 179:17 to 179:49. Or you can just take the Perseus one from Beans' ROM and put it in the one you're using.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] commissionerg:
Well, I tried the zedomax obsidian posted earlier in the forum and it didn't work with this kernel/rom. I made sure the init.d was enabled in deviltools. Back to the drawing board. Let me know if anyone else has any ideas. thanks in advanced.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrbxx7:
U could try faux kernel with zedo swap. I no it works cause thats what im running...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cmo220:
Here is a zip that should work with Perseus, and probably Devil since it's based off of Perseus.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] commissionerg:
Thanks I'll try the persus swap first then, i'll try the faux if that doesn't work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jeremiahEJ54:
Devil uses 179:17, not 49 that you mentioned earlier. Not sure why it was changed. I am just going off of what I have installed running Beans. I don't use the script for my other Rom that is AOSP based

Does anyone have any idea why I can no longer do a backup onto my sd card? I keep getting unable to write to sd card errors. I got the first on twrp. Tried cwm and the same result.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] freddy0872:
What SD card do u have? Is it a 64gb? There are some SD card issues that exist with our device but I'd like to know what card u have please! Thanks! :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] michigan66:
Just a 16 gb. No exfat issues. Maybe its time for a new card?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] freddy0872:
Okay well at least we got that cleared up. Have u tried copying all ur SD data to ur pc then formatting the SD card using the phone to format it under settings? Then obviously copy ur data back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] michigan66:
Yeah. First thing I did.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] freddy0872:
Yikes! I'd suggest a replacement. Obsidian had bad luck with SanDisk class 10 cards. I'm running a 64gb class 10 SanDisk and have no issues. If it's an older card I'd say replace it. That would be me. Have u tried formatting it in a PC? Or running a check disk? I'd try a few random tests like that. It only takes a few minutes. Worth a try before u dump money into a new SD card.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] michigan66:
Its an old card. All the way back to my blackberry curve. Im amazed it lasted this long. Its atleast 5 years old.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] freddy0872:
Then yea I'd say it's time for an upgrade! :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jdn1979:
Hey everyone, could someone tell me the benefits of upgrading TWRP, I'm using version 2.3.2.3 and have never had any problems with it so I have never updated it. I see Obsidian posted an update to it but I'm a little hesitant to update it since it works so well as it is now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] FormeriPhoney:
I think the only reason to update is some roms flash with more success with the newest version. But don't go by me, I'm still on 2.5 :thumbup:

On another note, I have zero faith that we are going to get 4.2 or 4.3 before I update my phone (most likely note 3 for xmas)

So, I think I'm gonna flash this 4.2.2 aokp build that seems very stable. ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=45880075)

The only thing I need is that zip file to return back to a 4.1 rom. Can anyone point me in the right direction.

:thumbup:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jeremiahEJ54:
Are you on Beans currently? If so check your Sd card the "real" internal one if using SD swap, you should have a jellybeans folder there with the restore sd card after downgrade zip file already, just move it on to the root of your external to locate it for easier flashing. You can also find it in the CM 10.1 thread if I recall correctly
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] FormeriPhoney:
You sir are correct. I found it and copied it on to my ext card. Thanks

I have a random question for you guys. My girl has an unrooted Note2 on AT&T. She's having problem connecting to data or wifi or staying connected. My phone right next to her will be fine with wifi but hers will go back to data, or nothing. Do you think that is something that a factory reset will fix? Should I just go straight to Odin and just redo the whole thing? Or do you think it's a hardware issue that will need a new phone?

Edit: I've decided I'm just going to Odin back to stock. But feedback is still welcome.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] freddy0872:
I would almost always assume software first. Simply because it's easier to fix. Try ur Odin resolution first if that doesn't help by wiping it completely then I'd resort to bad hardware and would ask for a replacement.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] drew_p:
Question :

I'm running beans 21 on a Verizon Note 2 on at&t. I've changed the APN, and have had no problems, until today. No data whatsoever. Usually I'll have hspa+ and it runs great. But today nothing. Anyone else having this problem or have any advice??

Things I've done to resolve:

Restarted

Toggled data on and off

Toggled airplane mode on and off

Restored a backup and changed apn

Ok. I bought a 32gb sandisk sdhc. Same as my previous card. The phone will not format it. I have no idea why. I tried in my computer too. It registers my card reader but not the card. Any suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] freddy0872:
Well sheet.... I would wait for another opinion but im wondering if something is borked in your device its self. If TWRP cant see it, nor the ROM its self makes me wonder. Im going to assume that is the issue. But i would like if someone else would second that. Maybe were both missing something...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] michigan66:
Im fixing permissions in recovery now. Maybe that will work. After that, I think i'm gonna flash a different rom real quick. See if that does anything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] freddy0872:
I was considering an issue with the ROM or the Kernel however while in TWRP it really shouldnt matter
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] michigan66:
I cant get the card to be recognized in anything. 2 computers, the phone and a separate card reader. Guess I'm returning the card tomorrow. I put my old back in the blank card message goes away.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] michigan66:
Just wanted to say Thanks for the help!! I finally figured out the problem. Returned the new card. Replacement formatted before I even turned the screen back over. Wiped internal sd. Backup to sd still didnt work. Googled it for 3 hours to find almost no information. Figured I would try going back to twrp 2.6.1 again. Everything works normally. 2.6.3 seems to be the problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] freddy0872:
Very interesting! Thank you for the heads up!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cmo220:
I never thought I would like AOSP on this phone but finally tried a few days ago. I can't believe I waited so long. I've been missing AOSP for a while but I didn't realize how much, especially since I don't use any of the touchwiz "features". I can't talk battery since I spend most of the day with no signal but it's no worse. But it's nice not needing added features to get what I used on beans anyway, which would be AOSP lockscreen and mms.

All I missed on cyanogenmod was the blacked out but themes take care of that. There are a lot more than I remembered. I've been using the cobalt theme. It blacks almost everything out, even mail and the store. Plenty of other things too. I used the black AOSP mms from team blackout. I can't show off many screen shots since most of it displays personal info which I don't want online but here's a shot of the status bar. I'm using next launcher and a next live wallpaper but this is mainly just to show status bar. Bluetooth icon is usually the same color but it's not connected. Also I changed the icons. Sorry for the rambling but I've been drinking and it happens. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] FormeriPhoney:
So which rom are you running now?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bassman418:
Ive gone through now 2 64 GB ultra san disk cards. And both times they would not let me do anything as far as write to or delete. I could copy my info to my computer but no deleting and no formatting. I tried everything. And I was happy the swapped it out but the first one went after 2 months and second after another 2 months. And I had to send them back with all my pics and info on them. Definitely not happy with that. They promised Me that it would be destroyed ince they received it. :eek:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] michigan66:
The first card was definitely bad. I posted my issues in the twrp thread with a log also. Apparently one of the new features is naming the backups. With the date and the rom showing up as goodness team nocturnal, it was too long. That was causing the error in 2.6.3. After shortening the name it worked fine. That is why 2.6.1 was working for me earlier. It doesn't create a backup name.

Yea I just checked and verified new twrp works just fine minus the character limit.

If you were asking me I'm on a Cyanogenmod nightly. I updated yesterday afternoon so it's not the latest most likely, will probably be 2 behind after tonight since it's late and I'm slacking tonight. After the first one I tried the only issue I had were notification sounds were very quiet. After I updated yesterday that was fixed.

Edit: Only updates last night were translation things so doesn't matter anyway.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] FormeriPhoney:
So I flashed the latest build of AOKP. Everything seems to be running great including an instant lock on gps.

Only question i have is all of my backups are gone. Titanium backup, Nova backup & ultimate backup pro.

I know there is some file movement with the aosp ROMs. Could someone be nice enough to point me in the right direction on finding my stuff ?:thumbup:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cmo220:
My Titanium backups are at /storage/sdcard1/TitaniumBackup. I think there are other ways to find them too. You can just go into preferences in Titanium then click detect, then whole phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] FormeriPhoney:
I know. I searched for them in that folder and manually with root Explorer. They were no where to be found.

When I restored my nandroid of beans and flashed the revert back zip.. All the files were in their respected folders.

I have no idea what is going on. :D
