Doc why you decided to stay on nd3 base? Have you valutated to change the rom with the new base ne2? Thanks anyway for your great roms.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
I have explained couple of days back why not new base.

I always prefer clean stuff so if I change base I have to re mod every single application, Though I can push old mods on new base but that i never like to do. So as of now whatever I can give you in time that i can spend here is only update with same base. Also to mention that there no plan to update base in near future.

btw I don't find any issue with current base either.

No need Doc. some people just bored. "Don't fix if it's not broken ". (old saying)

Basically new update is just 22MB(As per OTA) and out of it 15 MB i have searched is just samsung security and knox related which we never using now you can understand what will be there in new 7Mb update. Also some codes i have found removed in framework, which have no value in existing ROM.

Thousand thanks Doctor, I try to reinstall cerberus soon from aroma, and let you know.

I've one more question: after having dirty flashed V8.1 i didn't reboot soon. I also flashed VNteam Launcher S5 V4 5x6.zip and VNteam-Weather S5 for Launcher 5x5.zip (Since I had already installed them in V8, in order to avoid to have looping blinking home screen, I was forced to reinstall them again before booting). Now, these mods work quite fine (I don't like 240dpi stuff: I'm too old to read all the other small texts around the phone :D ), except loosing tw auto-rotate even if enabled in aroma, but I don't really care .. Question is: do you think I'm loosing some other features or UI improvement, after overwriting system/priv-app/TouchWizHome.apk and system/app/pullup[2].apk on your ones?

Tnx in adv.

Greetings,

Gabo

Dirthy flash working without any problem. Had issues with TouchWizard force stop issue, which got resolved on cleaning data from App manager
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
I think no. TouchWiz is modded for multiDPI which you don't needs. Auto rotation which also you are fine without it, just you won't have option to hide app in drawer and app list view if replacing apk doesn't have it.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] King Meda:
Im not bored.

I tried 2 rom with NE2 base and IMHO i think its smoother, more stable and more battery friendly than ND3 base.

this is the only reason about my question.

anyway the doc is a great chef and a great person and their roms are awesome, as usual.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] methoddon1:
as I said, - your're bored. trying too damn much. and for Doc, he needs to dedicate even more of his personal time then he already has because you think you have not tried enough roms. more roms, more bases and it's not even about a good and stable rom, it's about killing time with just flashing and flashing and flashing. Doc mentioned before the reason for him not to do it. he's not a seventeen year old kid living with his mommy, a guy got a carrier and family. rom is great, base is just fine. enjoy!

you can do basically anything to a device as long as hardware allows and it is a high end device just like in this case with Note 2 but there is one thing I regret can't be done with camera is picture in picture mode shot. imagine you travel to Rome, Vatican, Paris, somewhere in Italy, Israel and no one, no one is there to take your picture (like I did with note 3) but you want a proof that your ass was there... too bad. this is the one thing that's missing. always wondered why.

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] KNIGHT97:
The problem with our device is that the cameras aren't linked to a low voltage single circuit like S4 onwards. This kind of circuitry allows S4 and newer devices to use both cameras without damaging anything in the device. In the note 2, you might be able to light up both cameras at same time using some extreme camera app, but then it'll need a very high voltage diverted to 2 sides of the device, which will heat up the device in no time and will damage the circuitry too. The problem is that the voltage supplied to camera module is separate from the entire hardware and thus can only be controlled when the device is manufactured.

However, use this app for taking photos one at a time and automatically merging them ;)

Have a good day :)

Aircommand theme doesn't work for me

I tried Pearle1 and later on Silver metallic but it doesn't change

Any ideas what I can do now?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] gabolander:
Create a zip for air command theme

Hi Doc, only a "dumb dev" question ...

May I take a folder from your ROM (exampe "vrthemeAS5"), re-creating a zip of only that folder, put in my sdcard, and using for flashing only that mod (in this ex, for changing air command theme style) ?

I would do this in order to avoid to rerun all Dr.Ketan multi tool procedure again ...

Tnx in advance.

Thanks for the tip, but with rom v8 it worked fine and I see no reason why it shouldn't work with v8.1 too.

Maybe I have done something wrong.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
Oops sorry for that.

Its my small error. Actually transparemcy mod should come first before aircommand mod.

As such no fix requires. It happens only you select aircommand and transparency mod both in one go.

Simply rerun aroma and select aircommand theme again and flash.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
No needs to select anything except aircimmand theme. Skip everything except aircommand theme and just flash.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] tiwag:
That procedure worked fine, thanks.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] gabripranzo:
Small question: when I rerun aroma and want, for example, only to change CSC, will it flash all Rom? Or, when I skip Rom flashing and bloatware, everything is unchanged?

I'm asking because I have other mods such as 4x5 launcher, or italian modem, which are overwritten during flash.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Androidwizzard:
No, rom won't be flashed again, if you don't touch button to install rom. You can change the given options in aroma
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
It will flash only things you select. If you dont select flash rom then it wont.

No csc or any stuff will change unless you select.

Each menu of aroma is independent and you can use individually.

Thats why i call it multitool not simple rom file.

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] gabolander:
Hi,

I experienced a random reboot, yesterday evening.

This happened after use of Shoot it Pro. I bought your app Shoot it pro, [MENTION=3931450]dr.ketan[/MENTION], and put on TW home. Soon after activating, I touched the most left Icon (darkest one) that should activate camera UI (see attachment). Phone has been unresponsive for some while and than rebooted.

No alarm ... it happened only once (all other times I used it, all went fine), and I preface I have a module of Xposed framework called "Picture2SD" that may somehow conflicts with this app, or a bug from S5 camera UI itself..

This post only to inform you, Doctor.

For the rest, I will never get bored to say this Rom really rocks! ;)
