I don't know if this helps but when installing supersu to regain root and you initially start the app and ask if you want to update the binaries press cancel and give it root access then restart the app then it will allow updating the binaries...other wise it loses root if you initially say yes to updating binaries...this was after I rerooted through philz touch recoverie
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MHatter469:
Update

So, I am incredibly happy to announce that in the 2.1 version Wifi tethering and USB tethering are both working.

So far all of the challenges I had are fixed and everything is working.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flyboy1100:
Been running this for 3 days now and it is incredibly stable. I don't see me going back to tw for a while!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mdbowman:
Tether is working now?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flyboy1100:
Where can I get the Verizon app on the stock ROM? I used it more then I thought I did
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vzw.hss.myverizon
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flyboy1100:
Hmmm, I have Verizon....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
That is odd. The market will let me install it.

Set your global DPI to 320, reboot and try installing MyVerizon app again.

Edit: Sorry, I didn't read your warning carefully. Have you changed anything in Settings > Wireless & networks ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flyboy1100:
I changed global to LTE, thats it. This message makes no sense as to why the app isn't available
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
That could be the culprit. I learned the hard way do not mess with mobile network settings, especially on GSM rom ports. If you are desperate to have the Verizon app, backup all of your user apps & data via Titanium Backup or Helium, reflash the rom, DO NOT TOUCH mobile network settings, and see if you can install the Verizon app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flyboy1100:
Will try
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flyboy1100:
under mobile networks after the reinstall the network type is LTE (recommended) and nothing actually selected. is that correct?

I still can't install the app, is it because for some reason the play store still thinks I am on sprint? even though I haven't been for 5 months?

i know this isn't rom specific, i thought it was a rom problem. will be looking into play store settings on the computer and see if there is a way to delete some of my old ones
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
LTE (recommended) but nothing selected is what mine says. I am not sure why the Play store refuses to let you install, but I am 99% sure it has nothing to do with the settings on your computer. If you have Titanium Backup, use it to wipe the data from Google Play Services, and reboot. Or, go to Settings > Apps, scroll all the way right to "All" and tap Google Play Services, force stop it, then clear cache, and reboot. For some reason, your phone is telling the Play store that you are not on Verizon. Clearing the Play Services cache *should* fix that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] daedal_arcanum:
I like Camera FV-5. I think it's about $4 for the full version. The lite version only allows minimum-resolution photos. It's geeky - shows exposure time, aperture, ISO, etc. It doesn't do video or the front camera, but takes a great picture from the main camera.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flyboy1100:
I wasn't talking about settings on the computer, but accessing the play store global settings from the computer web browser.

EDIT: i can't search for the app and find it, but it was in my app history and let me install from there. time to restore eveything

it would be nice if slim would autorestore my apps though, that isn't working, everything else works though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
I knew you were talking about the Play store global settings on the computer. Glad you were able to get it back. That is why I always backup my apps & text messages in Titanium Backup before flashing a rom :thumbup:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flyboy1100:
On my s3 auto restore didn't work on slim either, have the devs removed that feature? Auto restore works better on this phone than it ever did on my s2 or s3 on every single ROM I have tired (a lot) just not here. Weird. But slim is the ROM I have used the most in all my time rooting and flashing ROMs so I will work around that minor inconvenience

I have been burned in the past with ti messing stuff up when restoring anything but data, so I still need to install the apps. I got most of them so good to go for now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ttxcsabby:
This ROM is great! First 4.4 ROM I tried and its very promising. GPS locks pretty instantly. Is Google service battery drain normal for 4.4? Or should I flash a different kernel?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
Google Services on 4.4 is a known battery hog. I deleted Google Services via TiBU and tried to reinstall it from the market (which seemed to help on another rom), but I could not sign into my Google account nor access the market. So I restored the Google Services backup. Oh well...

Google is currently pushing an update that supposedly improves battery life.

BTW, Crossbreeder mod works great on this rom. I have been using it with no issues. It tweaks some system settings, but I use it mainly for DNS caching/ad blocking

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flyboy1100:
Never heard about this, looks great. Should I uninstall adaway first?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
Yes. If you flash Crossbreeder, AdAway is unnecessary, so uninstall it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flyboy1100:
Just did, wow this is snappy! Thanks for the tip
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] trollishtrucker:
Tried this out today. Very smooth and fast. Was loving it. Only issue I had is that it dropped data while using the phone. Not sure if that was a ROM issue or not though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flyboy1100:
First problem today.. Gps won't work

I think the fix is to flash a tw ROM, get a lock, and restore this? Or do I need to reinstall fresh?

Kinda sucks as I think it worked the first time I installed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
That usually works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] daedal_arcanum:
I had to reinstall fresh.

I also have no data while on a call. Maybe a ROM issue?

Why is this ROM unofficial on this device? The t0lte appears to be on the list of officially supported devices. Is the t0lte different from this verizon-specific device?

Thanks,

--Brandon--
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rayden25:
This ROM has never had data in calls. I've been reporting that since Alpha. I'm hoping it gets fixed soon.

Wifi Hotspot works now though!

Great ROM thanks for the work you put into it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ap0ptosis:
I've been using this ROM for a week now and its awesome. The only real problem I've encountered, is a hot reboot while selecting voice typing while in hangouts. I searched the thread and saw that another user had the same issue. Oh, and I had to reroot through CMW after installing the ROM(coming from beans 22) Other than that, this ROM is rock solid.

Edit: I also have to restart the camera after taking a picture, in order to take another picture.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flyboy1100:
It appears to have, but only if I change location from "high accuracy" to GPS only. With any of the network modes enabled a lock takes forever if it even gets one.

Is this the normal recommended setting? Why the heck did they feel the need to change something that wasn't broke?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flyboy1100:
Nevermind. Got it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
I'll upload beta 2.2 tomorrow, seems rock solid so far.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
Thanks for maintaining this rom for the Verizon folks.

The changelog lists "Frameworks: Swap volume buttons when the screen is rotated by 90 or 180 degrees". Finally! :cool:

I was using an Xposed module for that. Why isn't that a standard android feature already? It is sooo much more intuitive imo.

Slowly but surely SlimKat is becoming the perfect rom for the "TW sucks but CM is boring" crowd. Lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chizler:
Is anyone running this ROM having the android is battery drain, CM is killing me on battery and thought about switching back to Slim.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] michigan66:
I have outstanding battery life on this rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
Beta 2.2 should be up...I upped it before leaving for work this morning so it should be there by now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
I have found battery life on SlimKat to be as good or better than any other AOSP rom, including CM. As mentioned earlier, Google Play Services on any 4.4.x rom is a battery hog, but the latest update (hopefully) improves that a bit. Freeze or toggle services & syncs that you don't need. But I would be surprised if you found an AOSP rom that offered significantly better battery. If you haven't already, buy a spare battery & charger, and you won't worry about battery life again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] trollishtrucker:
Does the new update allow data while on phone calls? This is the only thing keeping me from using this ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rayden25:
Does 2.2 have in-call data? If not, I'm not updating.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pdinphx:
Gchild,

Thank you for all of your hard work maintaining this ROM. You are a monster !!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lightsout:
As good as 4.3? I'm on aokp and battery is excellent. Tried another 4.4 rom and battery was much worse.

Used to love slim on toro.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flyboy1100:
I'm seeing around 5 hours screen on time with slimkat, better then I was getting on 4.1.2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lightsout:
Thats great thanks, I'll give it a flash tonight.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] momule:
I dont think so. I just dirty flashed this 2.2 and now have no data. Looks like im going to have to go back to a 4.3 for a daily driver. Loe everything about this ROM. Keep up the good work guys. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
What recovery are you using?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
No data at all? Or no data while talking on phone? Those are two different issues. I don't recall ever having data + talking (on this rom), but I would rarely do that anyway. But I remember doing that a few times on my HTC Thunderbolt...

If you have no data whatsoever, then do a full wipe & reflash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] laosguy:
Flashed about an hour ago everything is great thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lightsout:
Newest twrp should be good to go now right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
Last time I tried it still had some issues, I definitely recommend cwm still.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lightsout:
That sucks, I hate cwm, thanks for the tip though avoids a headache for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lightsout:
I haven't kept up have features been added or has it been like this since the first 4.4? I ask because I am hoping for lock screen shortcuts as I use them quite a bit. Getting it all setup running good so far.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flyboy1100:
I used it last night to dirty flash 2.2 and so far so good!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
I also prefer TWRP, but there is a touch enabled CWM (6.0.4.3) floating around that works great. I can't remember where I found it, but Google it and you should find it. If not, pm me & I will upload it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flyboy1100:
Is it Phil's?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
No. My recovery does not have software navigation buttons at the bottom. I tap the menu choices themselves and use the regular back button. But it works just fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flyboy1100:
anyone else using DevilKernel 2.3.2 with this? I am only using it because it supports the audio mods, the alarms and headphone output are too quiet.

anyway, I am getting some random soft reboots once when i press the power button. i am thinking it is the kernel because it didn't get them with the included kernel, and this is only happening on 2.2, no issues at all with 2.1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lightsout:
Found it under security. Loving this rom! Nice and smooth. Thanks a lot Gchild for bringing it to us Vzw guys!

You know what I had the same issue. But it was when I was messing with xposed which wouldn't install right. So I thought it was that. I am running devil kernel, the tolte one.(I think its called)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flyboy1100:
yup, but no xposed stuff for me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] neorecon:
Love this rom as well. I went back to beta 2.1 as they removed the non-invasive call notification option in 2.2. I really like that feature. Mine got hung up for a while and every time I touched the power button it would restart. I wiped everything and restarted and then the problem went away.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
I am also getting random reboots when I hit the power button. Not a full reboot, but more like restarting the UI/framework. I never saw that on previous builds. I am running the default kernel and Xposed is not installed. I may go back to the previous build, I haven't decided yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flyboy1100:
Good to know.

I can't find a changelog for 2.2, but there is one for 2.3 on slimroms
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] akellar:
The power button reboots are why 2.3 exists already
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
Thanks. I hadn't got around to checking the slimroms site for info or updates.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
I'll get 2.3 built
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lightsout:
Thank you sir. So they took out non-intrusive calls? Anyone know why? Or is that what "keep incoming call in background" is?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] momule:
I had no data at all. I knew of the data and cell signal bug which wasnt a deal breaker until the other day when i tried to use bill pay from my mobile device and couldnt verify my identity because of this. so i had to move over to the smasher rom and i gotta say i have yet to find a bug for my daily driver 4.4.2.

I use the latest CWM
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flyboy1100:
I didn't notice until I read this. That kinda sucks I really like that feature
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lightsout:
Yeah not sure why maybe it was causing problems somewhere
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scottay5150:
I just installed 2.2. Wonderful work. I was on slim bean with my gNex a few years ago. When is data going to work with a phone call? Expected time frame? Thanks in advance!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
I upped 2.3 this morning. Fair warning, I have not been able to test it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flyboy1100:
Thanks. I'll make a backup and give it a whirl
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flyboy1100:
Battery life on 2.2. Other then the power reboot thing, it is great.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] drahpatel02:
THANKS GCHILD. you rocks. flashed 2.3, no issues in installing. thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
Same here. All copacetic except still no data while talking on phone (not a dealbreaker for me though)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] plainbum:
In running CyanogenMod nightly 11.0

I have wireless tethering and data during a phone call.

I'm wondering why Slim lost or doesn't have data during calls if CM is its base.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scottay5150:
is this the truth?

because i love slim.. it is awesome. I really want data with my calls. is there an idea when this can get fixed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] trollishtrucker:
Yeah this is all that's keeping me from running this. Hope it gets fixed soon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
I'll look into it this weekend. Not sure what the hangup is
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scottay5150:
You rock!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flyboy1100:
2.3 is better than 2.2 for sure!

Kinda wish the unobtrusive phone was still an option. I forget to check the notification bar...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] neorecon:
If you go back to 2.1 you get the non invasive phone. I didn't really see any improvements with 2.2 so I went back to 2.1. Hopefully they will bring it back or explain why it was removed. Its a great feature.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
I agree, that was a nice feature. After *very* brief affairs with SmasherX and Gummy, I came back to SlimKat. SmasherX has too much crap preloaded and offered nothing over SlimKat (for me). And Gummy is just too plain. If I could make a rom, it would be very similar to SlimKat. SlimKat offers 95% of what I need/want. The rest I can mod myself or live without. I just hope gchild (or someone) can figure out the simultaneous voice+data issue. That is the only thing keeping some people from using this rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Shamestick:
Have people been using devil kernel with this? And does anyone know where I would find the kitkat version of it? His verizon thread seems to have stopped with 4.3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
I have never tried Devil kernel but I see a lot of comments about it. What does it offer over the stock kernel?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flyboy1100:
Audio boost with devil tools, no idea how battery compares, but I get 5 hours screen on with devil kernel.

You need to use the newest tmo version
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lightsout:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2239453

tolte is the one people use on this phone. Battery sucks for me though I'm at 47% with only 1h 29m screen time. I like it for the audio tweaks but this is the first time I used the one that wasn't specifically made for the i605. Not sure if thats the issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
Hmmm...I'll stick with the stock kernel + Viper4Android mod :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lightsout:
What kind of battery life are you getting? Does that viper4android thing really boost sound like you can with devil kernel?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Shamestick:
I am a big fan of V4A, it both can boost the speaker volume and make music sound just so much better. I highly recommend
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lightsout:
Thanks, are you running this rom? What kind of screen time are you getting?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
I get 4-5 hrs depending on how hard I use it. Viper4Android is the ultimate sound mod, I highly recommend it.

Edit: 4-5 hrs with everything enabled (except Google+ because I don't use it), Talon (a Twitter client) and an hour or so of streaming Google Play music.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lightsout:
That sounds good, you get it from the play store or here at xda?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vipercn.viper4android42&hl=en
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
You can do that or hit the thread. The Play version is in Chinese or some foreign language, I don't want to mess with translation, so I download from the xda thread. I use the FX version.

Most importantly man thank you so much for making this ROM available, it is perfectly put together. The DPI is on point and I couldn't be happier.. But I was wondering if your looking to add a "kill all button" with the recent apps so we don't have to swipe away each app individually? Thanks man. Favorite ROM to this day hands down!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrbobo1:
I just wanted to report flaky gas, clean install. Restore of cm11 and gas is good again. Otherwise the Rom is very slick
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
No GPS issues here. Get GPS lock on CM, then flash SlimKat without wiping system (but wipe cache & dalvik) and see if that helps.

That would be nice, but gchild is the Verizon maintainer. Your suggestion should be directed to the Slimroms team.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flyboy1100:
I posted my screen shot a few pages back. I am getting 4.5-5 hours screen on depending how much I use mobile data and don't use it while I fly (that is horrible for battery life, lol)

I am using the tolte version.

My gps is flaky when I have network location enabled, otherwise it is spot on. Here was my testing copilot in the airplane a few days ago. The speed is correct, even the altitude was only reporting 60ft lower than the very expensive gps in the plane.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lightsout:
That's weird it was really bad for me. Dirty flashed the rom last night and battery consumption slowed down. We'll see how it goes today.

Anyone know if there is an option to turn on the ability to resize widgets? Thanks..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
Nova Prime lets you change widget size

Nova Settings > Desktop > Resize all widgets

The Advanced tab lets you overlap widgets.

The free version of Nova may let you, I can't remember. But if you like Nova Launcher, the Prime license is definitely worth it.

Lockscreen widgets are a different matter. I do not know if that is possible.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] spiff72:
Unknown Baseband and no signal (data or voice)

Does anyone have any ideas here? I can't get ANY of the 4.4 ROMs to show any cell signal at all - I can only get a wifi signal.

I did ODIN the 4.3 firmware update about a week ago, and DID successfully get a working baseband on SlimKat (I think it was the 2.1 beta?). I then started trying CM11 nightlies and AOKP and neither of these would get any cell/data connection (signal bars blank).

Eventually I had some issues with /data partition refusing to format during recovery mode data wipes, and I thought I had a hardware problem so I managed to ODIN back to one of the stock 4.1.X. (From there, the /data partition was behaving again, so I unlocked and rooted again!)

Still can't get any of the 4.4 ROMs to give me a cellular signal, though. I ODIN'ed the 4.3 update again, and even tried one of the flashable radios that imnuts put together.

I am trying out N3BULA for now, which has a working radio (4.3 based)...

Just looking for some ideas to try here!

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] daedal_arcanum:
Install the Xposed framework and the Xposed Recent Tasks RAM module. The button ends up a little hidden behind the notification bar, but it works well enough.
