I'm continuing having issues with random freeze and status bar disappearing and reappearing (systemui restart? ) Any suggestion?

I'm on repack A and install was from external SD with full wipe.

Sent from my GT-N7100
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Rickav:
Well, that was somewhat disappointing. Flashed from internal storage this time with wipe, modem, kernel, recovery, gapps & Alliance ticked. Samsung bloat refuses to be evicted while Alliance theme doesn't want to play ball either.

You see, I can tolerate the Samsung bloat. Mainly because it is easy to simply delete them through TitaniumBackup. However, I'd have really liked the theme since that was one of the main reasons Alliance caught my eye and convinced me to stay with it. Is there something else I might be missing preventing the theme from installing?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] radium56ad:
go to statusbar options in custum setting thick use custom carrier text the freesing will stop
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dazznuts2000:
thanks for reading and helping :) lol

---------- Post added at 07:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:56 PM ----------

can you get us log of install please :) either tail it with adb or pull last_log from cache/recovery/last_log

Thank you :)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Rickav:
This last log you speak of... Where is the cache. I went to root then cache and this is all I found.

Is Adb my best option now? Or is there another cache that I do not know of?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] TooUglyForU:
I must have missed yes solution in the previous posts then. It's working fine now, including the alarm icon is staying.

Sent from my GT-N7100
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
Adb is your only option now mate...I have the same issue
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dazznuts2000:
as sparky says ADB it is, just select all options from rom customizer, when prompted to reboot say no, then manually boot recovery run

adb shell tail -f /tmp/recovery.log

then manually flash the rom (all install options will stay selected) then upload the log here :)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Weetbix:
I'm having a quick play with something that requires a stock rom, looking at my phone with a stock rom on it reminds me why I go for custom roms.

Thanks to sparky and devs everywhere for helping us not throw up on our phones :D

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Goldie:
Your answer to the freezing is on THIS page. Surely not too much to ask that you just read a few posts.... :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Rickav:
You guys... Never fail to amaze me how far you're willing to help newbs (such as myself) voluntarily... Thanks again.

So I understood about half of what you said. I've been trying to look up what ADB is, let alone how to use hence that's the part where I'm stuck at.

Ie. I'm with through selecting all options from rom customiser then manually rebooting to TWRP recovery... Then where do I input that code? Would highly appreciate if you could explain clearly what I'm meant to do at this stage (do I input it somewhere in TWRP or something...?)

Cheers.

---------- Post added at 09:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:00 PM ----------

And to add to that, I was going through TWRP to find out more about it when I checked the root to find the recovery folder present. Immediately rebooted normally and went to explore my root and found the last log magically there. (I honestly don't even know why/how.)

So here's a link to it, my last_log.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dazznuts2000:
Well if your running windows then install android sdk (Google it), then look up setting up environment variables (again Google is good but if you get really stuck pm me) then you will have adb access when you have USB debugging on then you can use that command from adb in windows :)

Last log shows your backup ;) :P
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Rickav:
Ookay... I reckon I could get round to giving that a go... In the mean time, though, will the last log that I linked to in my previous post suffice or is the adb version required immediately instead.

[Side note: flashed neak for note 2 kernel earlier. Suffice to say I'm impressed. Better than my expectations.]
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dazznuts2000:
As above, last_log just showed your backup, just when your ready mate :)

strange screen setting

Hi All!!

Running V4- repack a for as long as it is released.

Feels execellent and smooth,

I like to play around with alle the settings, A LOT!

Here's something really interesting, what happend to the ROM/my N2 out of nowhere:

I've had an issue with the screen turning of too soon... (Yes i've slapped my wife with it :p, she irritated me that time. She kept poking me :mad::mad:)

After that when I rebooted the N2 the screen kept turning of when i did not touch the screen.

When I did not touch the screen for half a second, it turned of, so I thought I damaged some hardware.

My N2 was un-useable (did I spell that right?) I felt f*@cKed up, she said I deserved that after hitting here quite hard, and it was :P just a reflex. She's Lucky I've sold the Tab 2 10.1 (LOL)

Nevertheless, recovery was fine, so I reflashed the repack_a.

After rebooting the issue still existed...

I'm running on 240DPI, with some apps set back to 320 (eg camera) by Xposed installer.

Also used Xblast tools and Note 2 hidden settings, but the same options áre already integrated in the ROM. So i removed that.

Long story short:

There was an extra option in the screen-time out, beside 15, 30 sec, 1/2/5/10 minute the also was an option above the 15 seconds

that had this ------>> [], which ment NO time... really strange.

When I've set the screen-time out back to 1 minute, that option disappeared instantly.

Anyway problem solved now.

So, never hit your wife/GF with your N2!!! :eek: :eek:

Again [MENTION=541750]sparkyb[/MENTION] and Alliance team:

Thanks 4 an awesome ROM!! :good::good:

Hope to see a 4.3 version, when Sammy updates our N7100!! :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Rickav:
Righto, now pretend I'm not a complete idiot... Eh?

So I have a camping expedition to go to. It's 4 days long and I should be back by Monday morning (yes, this is what Scots get upto in their free time). That means I'll be sticking with stock theme for now as well as playing around with some Alliance doo-hickeys if I get the chance.

Until then...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dazznuts2000:
lol have fun mate, im north east uk myself :P when your back pm me and we can go through tailing it the install (if you still dont mind doing it) and see if we can get this issue sorted :)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] mightymike2012:
recovery install

is there any problem if i install this rom directly from recovery? i kept efs and modem backups
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Goldie:
Just follow the installation guide
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] mightymike2012:
it s mandatory to use twrp? i have allready philz touch :)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] WAHEGURU JI:
twrp is recommended for best results....as it fits best with alliance rom...:)

SATNAAM SHRI WAHEGURU SAHIB JI.....
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] mightymike2012:

Hi, may I know how to set drop down menu not to be transparent, instead I want it to be black or grey matte. Thx ya

---------- Post added at 08:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:13 PM ----------

I downloaded email apk and trying to setup my Hotmail account. But after keying in email and password, it keep "checking server status" or something. It works in v3.1 previously.. And Hotmail website is accessible (server active). Is any 1 facing this prob? Thx
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dazznuts2000:
for dropdown... you need to go to custom settings, colours and for the notification panel options etc you need to move the slider on the 'Alpha' bar this will set the transparency to whatever level you want :D

on the second issue, not sure mate sorry
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] ushkakaka:
Issue 1 solved. Thx bro!

Can anyone help on my email.apk setup? Thx
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dazznuts2000:
no probs mate :D, have you double checked the server address you are using for the email? do any other email address work? where did you get the email.apk from or was it the one on the rom? if you can give more info we MAY be able to help but no promises :silly:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] ushkakaka:
I managed to solve it by downloading the Microsoft exchange apk. Lol

Anyway, the Rom is smooth and nice. But I found that my notification bar freeze at times
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dazznuts2000:
this has been mentioned loads of times, set a custom carrier label in custom settings (even if you set it the same as your current carrier) this should resolve the problem :)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] ushkakaka:
sry i might had missed it out. i had set it and restarted my phone. will observe further

just to check, will there be any fix for it? =)

edit: AllianceROM setting FC whenever i go "custom settings > statusbar and toggles > toggle options > order 24 toggle

i cant seems change the order of my toggles in the drop down menu now
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dazznuts2000:
you are most likely using stock toggles then ;) you need to use settings, display, notification panel to arrange them :)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Wiecznymw:
Hi guys. Need some help. I know it was already here but I can't find it. How to change colour of apps setting as it's white and i can't see nothing at all. Help as it's really annoying.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] geekynoob:
as long as i can remember its linked to Phone Colours basic in the custom settings.. cz even i turned everythng white in the phone settings and my submenus also got turned white.. If i got you right here :)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
Un-tick include extra colors in colors section of custom settings...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] ushkakaka:
thx for the advise. yup, i followed your lead and use back the stock notification toggles and arrange the sequence from there (i was having prob with custom settings' 24 toggles). currently working fine.

i had also used a custom carrier name, so notification bar has no issue so far

thx mate
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Wiecznymw:
Nice one sparky m8. As always pro
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] crypta:
rom customizer & OTA do crash every time.

was a clean install of version "a".

Any ideas?

Also, my extSD is Fat32 (because of compatibility for older roms and some computers).. it doesn't recognise it, also any one has an idea?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Goldie:
Did you wipe for some reason after flashing? If so you uninstalled those apps! So settings has nothing to open = FC
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] crypta:
thanks for the fast reply, I am flashing again, this time without factory reset after this. (I do this normaly every time to ensure consistency)

But this brings me to one question:

If I would flash this one above an CM (4.3) ROM, would I need to reset anything?

..and then to another one (not the time for numbers, today :D)

And if not, would I keep my app?

(if the answers are no & yes, I have to admit, I never have been used to this kind of comfort)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Goldie:
No. You should tick wipe in rom customizer and flash from there. Don't wipe anything yourself. And read the warning in OP about losing imei.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] tweeny80:
I did a goofy thing - kindly help :)

I installed this ROM using latest philz cwm recovery, bad mistake. Later on I reread OP and realise TWRP is best option, oops.

So I put the ROM on internal storage and through ROM customiser I flashed the thing. I chose full wipe & chose NOT to flash TWRP. Then it rebooted to recovery and started the install through TWRP even though I didn't select TWRP option.

Now, it's frozen, TWRP screen says --> Preparing Install, Mounting Partitions, Cleaning.....

Power button does nothing.

1.. If I pull the battery, will it let me into recovery?

2.. Would it be philz or is TWRP installed now?

3.. I have a cwm nandroid: if possible, should I restore it, then flash TWRP before I flash this ROM?

UPDATE:

I rebooted to recovery thank god ----which changed from phjilz to TWRP. I wiped Data and System and reflashed the ROM. Success
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] crypta:
First my personal very important question:

My extSD is FAT32 (as said for AOSP comp in earlier days) and in Recovery it is accessibly (thanks god) but not in the rom itself.

Which kernel, or whatelse can I do, to make it available in the rom, too? (of course, without formatting it or alike).

Another strange thing:

TB does not find my donate licence key and the backups (I restored via recovery to the internal sd), even if my root explorer shows the correct placement of the files).

Any ideas?

OK, it found it after a reboot - but won't offer a restore. (only from data, if app is installed manually)

Also a little history:

re-installing the rom helped with my OTA/Rom manager problem! thanks! :)

a install stopped... so I pulled the battery... booting into recovery, made wipe, installed then again and everythings fine.

BUT I never have seen the "installer" in a setup way. So I had to remove some bloatware.

What has to be done to see the installer in action? :)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] tweeny80:
Great ROM...wow so many customisation options ... othen I changed DPI build.prop to 290 to see if it broke anything

As a result the multi-window flashbar doesn't display the Edit button any more.

Is there an alternate method to add apps to the sidebar? I don't see MW manager or other app to use, appreciate any advice!

--> Maybe I need to reinstate stock 320 DPI to see the Edit button
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] crypta:
Also red pill doesnt improve things.

Any help appreciated, this is really killing me.

Maybe important: it is an 64gb card.

And as said,absolutely readable in recovery.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
Apps aren't set up for multi-dpi... a quick search should find some ;)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sparx:
Sorry man, can't help you there...think there might have been a mod on the forum somewhere
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] tweeny80:
Yep am aware non-stock DPI breaks some apps. Wasn't sure if there was another app in the ROM used to populate the flashbar.

One other thing ... after I had changed multiple status bar settings, my brightness slider stopped responding. It wouldn't let me increase brightness - the slider refused to move. Auto brightness feature worked fine. At that point I restored my nandroid. When time permits I'll reisntall and see what happens.

Cheers sparky, this ROM has sooo many customisation optoins, can't wait to see what Oct update brings us & what you guys do to it!
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] ferryaryan:
Is this rom compatible with simplistic framework?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dikkebas:

Hi...how to change the background n setting and set the theme the ive downloaded in ota?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] ferryaryan:
Yes, i think its no need sf. Its powerful features mod in the setting.

I have another question, i already downloaded mod of battery, signal frim ota but when i install them, its said fail. I already tried directly from rom cusmizer and twrp. Its give same results. Anyone can give me assistance for this? Thanks a lot....
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Rickav:
I'll start from the top just to make sure we're on the same page at all times (ie. If you think I'm patronising, it's more for me more than anything). Try following these steps in the order given.

- Settinngs > OTA > Alliance ROM Themes > Backgrounds.

- Choose your favourite. You can tap on the previews to get a full screen view. I chose leather because I'm wild like that.

- Select Start on your choice.

- Wait for download to finish.

- Tap on Install Queue [top right icon].

- Give the go ahead by selecting the grey arrow where the icon used to be.

- Install all pending files.

- Reboot.

- Hail glory to Satan.

- Play GTA V.

My phone rebooted twice all on its own and then the settinga background had changed to my chosen one automatically.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dikkebas:
Trying to find out what could be wrong.

What Kernel?

What theme do you have?

Did you select Circle battery, because that is the battery that is changed bij Ota mods?

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] murmeljenta:
Hi,

I have spent a week studying the descriptions of the available Xperia phones. I have a hard time understanding which one will be the best one for me, though SP seems promising... Is anyone willing to help?

In the past I have had Xperia X10i and Xperia S. These are my priorities:

* Huge phone not needed - maximum 4,3 or perhaps 4,6 inches

* Waterproof, dust proof etc not needed

* Nice camera required. I never carry a normal camera any longer - still, I don't need 8+ megapixels, image quality is more important - but video is not important. (Xperia S photos seemed poorer than I wish for)

* Heavy user - good battery life needed. (With Xperia S, I often had to restrict my use, for the phone to survive the day.)

* Good CPU/memory needed - I sometimes run GPS tracking, music, social media simultaneously, I don't want any of my apps to shut down due to low capacity.

* I wish to have the latest Android versions without rooting my phone - will prefer a device that Sony will keep updating longer.

* Price is not overly important, but I don't wish to play a lot extra for a too larger and waterproof phone, if there are cheaper alternatives.

* Design is important (but personal)... I prefer a white model, clean design, hate Samsung rounded corners and plastic feel (sorry)... :)

Does the SP seem right? Or are any of the other Xperia models more suitable? Will be very thankful for any recommendations!
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Li-polymers:
The only flaws with the Xperia sp are that the camera is worse then the S ( I too had a s and a x10)

Battery life is good, two days with moderate usage.

Design, well I find the sp sexy ( i have black)

Performance is good and smooth. No problems running heavy games. Multitasking is ok.

Price: its cheap.

Its running on android 4.1 dont know about future updates

Good luck picking your phone.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deathless93:
I noticed different things..

The battery life is nothing special, not good, not bad. But for sure, there are other devices with better battery life in the same price range.

The camera is (unfortunately) pretty bad! Also note, that many users got problems with their wifi connection. The range of wifi is horrible and there is no official fix by Sony.

The performance is very nice and smooth, same like the design.

Well, its your choice, I would prefer another device.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] murmeljenta:
I'm disappointed to hear about the poor camera. May I ask which other devices you might recommend - similar specifications, but better camera?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deathless93:
I heard many good things about the LG Optimus G E975.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruchirtrehan:
The device is though perfect, but some stuff can disappoint you very much :-

- Camera- Camera is not exactly as great as a XPERIA phones should be, though a fix will be officially out in a new firmware.

- Latest Android- This phone surely has a future to go till android 5.0 officially, but that can be too slow, as Sony takes a lot of time for giving the latest available OS

-Good CPU/Memory- This device is perfect for your needs

- Size- The phone has a perfect size to carry in hands or in pocket

- Price- It's a cheap as hell phone looking at it's specs.

- Connectivity- Phone is perfect in every standard in all sections, though a big con here is wifi range "for some wifi disconnects" or maybe you get neither of it, depends.

-Design- This phone is a definite beauty, I own the white model, but, I suggest to go with black, as the chrome finish on the aluminium frame will start fading into black color, even when you connect hands-free, or USB into it.

Few bugs, Touch response while charging is really ridiculous "with charger provided by Sony" I used charger of my old phone XPERIA Neo V and the touch bugs had resolved after it, so definitely there's a defect in charger provided by Sony, I'm confident coz almost everyone here has faced that bug.

A 2nd option instead of XPERIA- Nexus 4 can be a perfect choice as per your needs, though the back glass may break/crack.

-XPERIA ZR, if you're willing to pay 3-4k more go for XPERIA ZR it's definitely perfect for your needs.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heross:
I think poor Camera can`t be fixed with firmwareupdate. In my opinion the quality is bad on ExmorRS. It simply lacks the sensor resolution. But very good is the HDR mode, very effective.

For prints in 10X15 but the pictures are quite sufficient. Xperia S photos are showing many more detail for larger prints, but have much less contrast range. So you get a lot of outdoor pictures with any flaring. But this problem solves the XSP perfect.

for battery life, the XSP run at least twice as long as the XS.
