I'm going to take a wild guess and say that you are not on the stock kernel. Go ahead and try to dirty flash with the stock kernel and report back
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jdn1979:
Yeah I'm using devil kernel. Noticed also that YouTube is broken I get an error 401. I'm going to dirty flash and see what happens. I'll report back. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nicwall01:
I'm really surprised that so many people are using devil. Any word on the new Saber? I can't flash 22 for another few hours.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jdn1979:
Well it was the devil kernel. Went back to stock kernel and got boot audio back and the computer can see the phone again. Still no dice on YouTube but that was broken before the update. Thanks for the help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jdn1979:
Will give that a whirl! Thanks!

Could someone help me with the settings for the transparent status bar? Im on B22
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] FormeriPhoney:
Here you go
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dooku77:
Formeriphoney showed me what I needed. I set it on b21 and forgot to screen shot it and im so tired that its driving me crazy lol. Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] freddy0872:
Has anyone gotten "Touch-Wake" to work in Saber Kernel?

I enabled it in Trickster-Mod app. With every reboot it turns it back off. Even if i let the screen sit off for the specified time it doesnt function. I figured this would be a cool feature to have to save our precious power button's life!

Hey. I just flashed the new beans after being on the trans-nebula for a few days. I love this new beans and I love the previous. I do however, miss the unified navbar at the bottom. Is this possible without using the tablet ui?

I tried the tablet ui on beans and my system ui kept crashing --thought I was going to get the best of both worlds.

I already have the regular navbar enabled BTW. Just want the navbar from note 10.1. Made it much easier to one hand operate. Thanks in advanced.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] FormeriPhoney:
If you can't get the nav bar working.. I suggest to give LMT launcher a shot. Definitely helps with the size of the note 2. Very customizable as well.

no I'm not happy to see you, it's just a Note 2 in my pocket
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] freddy0872:
Could u list what radio and kernel ur running? Might help someone smarter than me with that. Once u start combining a phone to another carrier I have no clue what could happen. Just being honest that's all.

I noticed Uve restored a nandroid. We're there any partitions you didn't restore? Maybe left as is? Did u restore the modem? Just throwing out some brainstorming

Stock, AOSP, & Custom Stock Comparison

TEST RESULTS!​

So as i stated a week or so ago i was going to do a comparison of True Stock, Modified Stock, and AOSP and see what the differences were as far as performance and battery life. As it turns out the battery life was damn near the same across the board. of course usage on each ROM was a little different as i did not send the same amount of texts, or the same amount of screen time. So i based it off of my average/normal useage. i got my usual 30ish hours with light to moderate use.

Here are the setups i used for each selection.

For True Stock it was simply Rooted and thats it! I ran Touchwiz launcher as well

For AOSP I ran CM10.2 with Stock Kernel.

For Modified Stock (TW) I ran Jelly 'Beans' B21 with Perseus Kernel with the 5G profile applied.

I will attach screen shots from Quadrant Standard Benchmark as well.

As far as smoothness i would have to agree that CM10.2 was very smooth running minus a jittery CRT animation. It ran nice and smooth.

True Stock definately seems to run almost perfect! It wasnt necessarily slow but the TW animations tend to drag out the process of opening apps, flinging thru home screens. However it was very enjoyable!

When it comes to Beans with Perseus you obviously gain all the fancy features however came in last with the Quadrant scores.

So it just goes to show that running the most modified setup doesnt always get you the most performance. However as i said about the battery life. They all seemed to pan out to be even in the end. If there was a difference it wasnt even enough to document or brag about!

Post your thoughts or feelings on this! Or if you would like to see a certain setup ran. As we all know each phone is different especially when it comes to the kernel! So if you would like something specific let me know! Im always up for a good test! :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jdn1979:
Not sure if anyone can help me but I'll give it a shot. When I upgraded to beans build 22 I chose to use AOSP sounds this time over the TW sounds. However when I go to change my notifications it's still the original sounds. But what I have noticed is the alert for low battery has changed to a different sound and my key press sound is different. So does AOSP sounds just change those two sounds or am I supposed to also get a whole list of tones to choose from as well? Thanks for any help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] freddy0872:
Sounds like you dirty flashed if that's the case that would definitely screw up the sound scheme. I would suggest backing up ur apps with TiBu or the like, make a nandroid and do a clean install of B22
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bassman418:
I had similar problem back when I had my galaxy nexus. When you go from 4.1 to a 4.2-4.3 rom it changes the filing structure to support multi user features. Everytime I flashed I wouldnt be able to find my nano back ups.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jdn1979:
You nailed it! Now when I do a fresh install will that delete anything off of my memory card? I have tons of zooper templates I don't want to lose and profiles in tasker.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] freddy0872:
No not unless you select it to be wiped. Which I wouldn't recommend. Just boot into twrp make a backup. The go to wipe/then advanced wipe. Select cache, dalvik cache, system, and data? I believe it says data lol. U don't need to wipe internal or external storage or USB otg. So basically everything except those 3.

Make sense?

Make sure you nandroid and backup apps!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jdn1979:
Yeah that makes sense! Thanks for the help Freddy I appreciate it!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dooku77:
Can you guys assist me? I am out and about right now and I keep getting the "refreshing sim data" notification. Is there a fix for this? Its never happened before and ive been running beans roms since b14. Im on b22 right now and have ran it for 2 days beautifully. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] freddy0872:
Any time!

Yea this issue has come up quite a bit. I've seen it myself. Obsidian told me to pull the battery and remove the sim card for about 20 seconds.

This has happened to me twice. One time it just went away on its own. The other time pulling the sim card and re inserting it worked.

Hope it helps
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dooku77:
Ok thanks. Ill try this now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] freddy0872:
Sure thing, let me know if it doesnt work out!

You can always hit me up on Hangouts if you want. Fredsinzjr@gmail.com
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dooku77:
Success. It seems to be working now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] freddy0872:
Fantastic! Glad to help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pgzerwer:
Shot in the dark here. I have previously enjoyed using an app called Network Signal Info but noticed the last couple days that it just won't launch. Gives me title screen, then black screen, then after about 10 seconds it goes back to where I started. Running Beans 22 with Faux 8 kernel.

I've uninstalled, reinstalled, cleared app cache and data etc all to no avail. Emailed the developers but yet to hear back (looks like they are in Germany.)

Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] freddy0872:
Yikes! I would have no idea brother!

I would start with a catlog and see why its crashing.

Plug phone into USB on ur pc and make sure you have ADB installed

run adb catlog

if you want you can also pipe the catlog into a .txt document so its easier to read, when you do open the app and let it crash. do it twice for good measure and the catlog will notify you why its crashing, could be just about anything!

to pipe it simply do the following

adb catlog > C:\the\directory\to\save\the.txt

obviously you can select where to save it, such as your desktop for example. then to stop the PIPE since itll go on and on simply hold your Ctrl and tap "C" (Ctrl+C)

Good luck!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jdn1979:
I asked this in the secured settings thread but thought I would ask here as well. Did a clean install of beans build 22 today. I'm using tasker and secured settings to keep my screen unlocked when on my home wifi but I can't get secured settings to ask for super user permissions. Does anyone know how I can get the program to ask for it, or a way I can manually setup SU for that app?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] freddy0872:
Just out of curiosity have you checked SuperSU app to see if Secured Settings has asked for SU perms and it was denied either by a timeout of the notification or by an accidental press of "Deny" if so make SuperSU forget the permissions of the given app and attempt to start it again.

This is the first thing to pop into my head.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jdn1979:
Hey Freddy once again lol. Yeah I had checked and it wasn't in there. Just as a last ditch effort I decided to restart my phone. As soon as it booted secured settings asked for SU permissions. So I just got it working! Thanks for your help though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] freddy0872:
Haha! No biggie, i was going to say i dont believe there is a simple way to MAKE an app ask for SU. I would of suggested updating the Binaries if they were out of date. But glad you got it working!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dooku77:
One other question friends. I was so greedy that I carried 2 phones for a year an iphone 5 and note 2 for no reason at all. Today I ditched the iphone and made my note my one and only device. The problem im having is that my wifes iphone keeps sending all texts to me in imessage form even though I turned on the sms feature on her phone. I turned I message off on the phone im not using anymore. Do any of you have experience with this? Should I pull my sim again?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] freddy0872:
To be honest sir I dont know Jack about iPhone other than i know it has the capability to dial out and access the web. LMMFAO!

If you turned on SMS did you turn iMessage off? I googled it real quick and noticed that setting. If all seems like its set right there are usually 2 things u can try.

1) Reboot the iPhone and see if it fixes.

2) Dunk it in water. LOL

***EDIT***

Mis read your original post. Well you turned off iMessage on your iPhone. But is it stil active on the network? Or does it have access to the internet? (Data/Wifi)?

You may have to make her iPhone send as SMS only if your old iPhone is no longer active on any type of data network. If its still communicating with the outside world then that could be why its still sending them thru iMessage
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dooku77:
Yes it still has access to the web via wifi only right now. The only thing I can think of is to pull the sim card after I reset it. Its still shows my main phone number in settings. I deleted it from my profile on apple and still didnt fix it. Grrrrrrrrr now I know why I left apple for so long before. Thanks anyway bro
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] freddy0872:
Yea your number would be stored in the SIM card and if u just reset the phone it will still grab your number. Remove the SIM, reset the phone and you should be A-OK!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dooku77:
Well here it is hours later and everyone can now text me. I had to put my old iphone on a different number to change the imessage setting and then I pulled the note sim for about a half hour to give everything time to work itself out on verizons end. Voila all messages received to note. Thanks for your help. This thread is awesome. Great people here.

What is everyone using for anti virus? Ive been using avast for about 6 months. Keeps asking me to go premium lately. Thought about using Norton.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] freddy0872:
That's all ur going to find in obsidians thread! Just a bunch of good folks getting together to help each other out! Isn't that what we should do as a community!? Yes!

As for the AV I'm a long time avast user! I ignore the premium (Internet Security) ads from them. I just register once a year! It even catches a few malicious links here on XDA once and a while! Just random links I get while browsing the threads.

Screw Norton. It's to bossy. To many issues. With all the pc's we get in at work McAfee and Norton seem to be the most buggy and leaky.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dooku77:
Now that you mention it, I have McAfee on my laptop and I dont like it very much. Other than the premium notifications, avast has been solid. Guess ill stick with it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] freddy0872:
I run avast and Let it do it's thing. Then run a malware bytes scan once and a while.

One thing I'm sick of is the FBI/Dept of justice/etc viruses that hijack ur start menu and desktop and essentially lock u out of the PC wanting u to but money packs. Needless to say I've become a pro at removing them lmao

beans 22 has dormant mode. Which is blocking mode. It works just as good as the iphone do not disturb. Unfortunately for me that is the only ROM i've seen or used with it working properly. I tried to do the shortcut trick on trans-nebula ROM and everything is greyed out for it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dooku77:
Is that the call/message block? Ive searched everywhere and cant find the dormant mode. That was the best feature of the iphone imo.

[MENTION=430073]Obsidian[/MENTION], what does the fast dormancy toggle do in b22? Is it like the sleep feature on the iphone where I can have certain people call me if theres an emergency?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sshafranko:
Fd is a little complicated. Its used for data connection only has nothing to do with wifi connection. If your on wifi like me most of the time your probably better off leaving it off. But in short when yiur phone connects ti data it goes through certain states. Its not just connected or not connected. There's Dch, Fach, Pch, idle etc. Say If your browsing you may be at dch which has the highest battery consumption. When you stop browsing your phone will jump down to idle. Now if you start browsing again yoir phone has to go through all of those states to get to dch which is slow and a batery consuming proccess. With FD when you are done browsing your phone will go to say pch instead of idle whoch is somewhere in the middle of all the processes and therefore will not use as much time and power to get to the last process when you are browsing again. Its a little involved but thats my understanding of it. Hope that cleared it up for you a bit. I think I just confused myself 2. Lol

Thanks for the explanation. I thought it was something I could use to keel my phone on at night while I slept but only have it ring from the people I designate. Im pretty much always on wifi when im home. I remember that feature being on paranoid android but im not leaving beans for that one feature. Oh well I guess I can just turn down my notification sounds at night and leave the ringer on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] commissionerg:
Someone please help. I all of a sudden lost my 4g connection on my note 2 and it won't come back. I've wiped, Wiped, wiped, and wiped again, loaded 2 different ROMS, beans and trans-nebula. No matter what I'm stuck on 3g (there was a 1 minute period while I was doing the initial setup in beans when 4g came up, but as soon as the setup was done it went away. I've searched, but can't find an answer. It's not the 4g in my area because my wife's s4 has 4g right now. Thanks in advanced.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] FormeriPhoney:
Did you try something as simple as taking out your sim card for 5 minutes and trying again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sshafranko:
Thats called blocking mode....try something like this from the playstore. It does that and then some...good luck

4.3 nice. at least there is a time. now verizon is another issue. im banking on an international one being ported. i just want it for hd netflix lol.

btw did anyone upgrade this weekend for the subsidized phone and keep unlimited data thing going on at verizon.com?

i did it but ordered a iphone 5s instead to sell didnt want to order the note 3 cause once its in my hands i will be tempted and wont let go of it haha.

lets hope they dont cancel my order cause the iphone 5s is only for shipping and ship date is 10/14 lol.

anyone know "if" when i get the iphone 5s do i have to activate it? or can i just sell it? cause i got a micro sim with the note 2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] commissionerg:
Yeah I switched my sim to my wifes phone and hers to mine and the 4g came back; however in her phone I only have 1x. the when I swtiched it back she still had 4g and mine was still stuck on 3g. I couldn't take the sim out with the phone on because of the battery but so far it seems my SIM might have gone bad. It's weird because I can still make phone calls. And I know better than to do *228 with a 4g phone.

I've had this phone only a month and this was a brand new SIM card. I wonder how the heck could this SIM have gone bad that fast. I was downloading a lot of apps but nothing that's suppose to change any settings... Is it even possible for an app to break a SIM card? Grrr. Looks like I'll be on wifi until my note 3 comes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] freddy0872:
Well u never want to remove the sim card while the phone is on. That's why it's positioned like that. Have u tried powering off ur phone and removing the sim card for a few minutes and just letting it chill out of the phone? That is what we were referring to. When u just start randomly moving sim from phone to phone it can potentially confuse the network if you didn't initiate the phone switch in ur account on verizons website.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] commissionerg:
Oh crap... Hope I didn't make matters worse then. I'm reflashing again. If it doesn't stick this time I'll take it out for a bit. Am I suppose to turn it back on with the SIM Card out or just let the phone stay off while the SIM is chilin?

---------- Post added at 01:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:08 AM ----------

Well... No luck. Guess I will be needing to get a new SIM. This is still baffling that this happened all of a sudden.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] FormeriPhoney:
You know you can get a sim card for free from a Verizon store right?

Sorry been busy with work. Yea my phones been all blacked out with TBO apps since they started inverting them. I try to do whatever I can to save battery plus I love the look. My understanding is that on Amoled screens such as n2 and s3 and im sure all new phones when the backround is black the pixels actually shut off and therefore there is a small amount of battery savings involved. I was bored and downloaded a screen recorder and messed around a little. Heres a few of my black apps. Its a bit slow though so dont watch it if your ina hurry;)

By default they are stored on internal storage in Pictures folder(if I remember right ,photospheres save in a seperate Panorama folder)....see if you can find them with file explorer. There is an xposed module that will let them save to external SD. I use the module and it works great...even photopheres save to SD Card..!:)

When you take a picture and it shows the picture in the camera app and i selct the picture it goes to filmstrip with no pictures...

what is the exact location it is looking for? What is the exposed module so I can play with that...

After you apply the Xposed module the Google edition camera saves the pictures in DCIM on the external SD.
