Sorry, not able to help out on your dilemma, I don't use Smart Launcher. Maybe check on their forums and see if anyone can assist you there.

That option there, no clue either but the one at the bottom for additional options (Background style) that controls your transparency in your slide down notification drawer. I've got mine set to 50% and it works as it says.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] harshybar:
That is what I had, but I was wondering if anything new was up. Since I see a new one for t0lte.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] michigan66:
I don't think so. The tOlte versions don't work for us. I asked a few weeks ago. Gchild made this version out of the kindness of his heart. Or pity. He has a new phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
I can keep building these until they break. Just will have to rely on you all to test. And really it's flash at your own risk at this point.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jarm3r:
I would gladly flash a new version! I think the most recent we're running is 5.4 and I saw a changelog for 5.6 on slim's site.

I need to do the gps fix thingy for my phone anyway, so I need to be flashing anyway. I'll gladly test and post.

Thanks gchild!

This still hasn't been confirmed working by anyone, but it should work fine. Can someone nandroid and flash and report back please?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
Nm confirmed working
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Garjani:
I tried this, and I'm still not getting a GPS lock. Did a clean install too, wiped system, cache, all that stuff, and came from stock.

Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
Search? Lots of people have posted all over note 2 development about how to get GPS to lock on aosp.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jarm3r:
WOHOO! You rock gchild. Will be flashing this as soon as I can and I'll report back here. Might not be immediately, but I will let you know. Thanks so much for taking care of us even though you don't even work on this phone any more!

-----

Regarding the GPS, I'm in the same boat as you garjani, I think there are a certain percentage of n2's that just don't like the gps on anything outside of TW roms. I've tried all the tricks, scoured the net and I still can't get my gps to work at all on any aosp rom. If I flash a tw rom, BAM it works, but the second I go back to a non-tw rom, NOPE. no lock... ever. I've learned to live with it, and when I'm out of town I just ask friends to use their gmaps to navigate us places.

I'll probably try the ol flash to a tw, get a lock, then reflash back to this as soon as I can in the hopes it might fix it, but I'm not too stuck on it. Slim is too good to not use just because of gps.

I did try the gps conf edits mentioned before to no avail as well.

---------- Post added at 08:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:53 PM ----------

Just one question gchild... since this is a version change (even though its just a tertiary version change) should we clean flash?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
Dirty flash is fine wipe cache
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] djd338:
Check post #1185, or/and #1301. I use the script flyboy posted in 1181. I keep it on external SD for quick edit if GPS problems are encountered on a new flash. Works every time for me. Be sure & reboot afterwards.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] amoot329:
The way I use to do the gps trick was to get a lock with Google Maps using a TW rom. Once its locked in and you're still in the app. Press and hold the power button and choose the option to reboot to recovery (assuming you have the extended options enabled for reboots). Once there, flash this awesome rom. Although I've not had to do this trick in a while.

PS did a dirty flash of 5.8, came from 5.4. Wiped both Cache and Dalvik. No problems so far :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jarm3r:
I did a dirty flash this morning, 5.4 -> 5.8, and also wiped cache/dalvik, and been running smooth ever since! Looking like a great build gchild. Thanks again for doing this for us.

regarding the gps thing, I have definitely done those gps conf edits posted by flyboy and the other one as well in the past and they didn't work. I just tried them again right now and still didn't work. I'm going to try flashing another KK TW rom right now, get a lock, and restore this SlimKat 5.8 nandroid, and see what happens.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MicaRyanSulc:
Can someone please point me in the right direction.. Im on 4.1.2 vramc3 rooted & unlocked. What do i need to do to be able to flash a 4.4 rom? Ph thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] PhilDX:
the most important thing you need to do is update your recovery to latest CWM or TWRP. I prefer CWM. otherwise, if you flash a 4.4 build using an old recovery, the radios may not work as expected.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MicaRyanSulc:
Ok then what.. Flash a new recovery, then i can just flash any 4.4 rom while on 4.1.2 ??? Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] PhilDX:
yeah, any AOSP based ROM for sure (CM, slimkat, AOKP, etc). and don't forget to grab an appropriate 4.4 GAPPS package to flash after the ROM.

if you want to flash a TW ROM, there may be an extra step required to make sure WiFi still works afterwards, but you'll have to search around and see if that is still an issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] guitarist5122:
Really wanted to use this ROM. Have been on TW for over year and half and was ready to try AOSP. Unfortunately these AOSP ROMs don't seem to support 64GB sd cards. Really disappointing and I hope they do support larger sd cards in the future. The ROM was simple the way I like it and super smooth :/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mao04:
Reformat your card to fat32 and it should work. I ran slim for months with a 64GB card, worked fine. I also had to switch to superSU on some of the builds.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 2fasst:
gchild320, thanks for your continued support/develop for this handset even though you've moved on to new hardware! :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nachomhwang:
GPS LOCK

I've had the opposite problem than most with no GPS lock on stock, but able to finagle one with AOSP; and that only with SLIM. I did everything:

1. edit gps.conf

2. install gps tools and reset then download a-data <-- i really like this program, as it allows you to see the little bars and exactly how many satellites the phone is seeing, as opposed to a blinking icon.

3. in my case, wipe internal and no dirty flashing; twrp succeeded where philz did not. nandroid recoveries seemed to make me lose gps lock, for some reason, as did dirty flashes.

Oh, and installing a different kernel also seems to prevent lock. Stick with the one that comes with the rom.

thanks for this awesome rom!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] HeadKase:
I am rocking SLIM 5.8, ND7 Radio, AGNI 2.8.1... WiFi works great and GPS locks on almost instantly :D This ROM is awesome and has been from the moment I started using. Again... thanks gchild for continuing to build this for us even though you switched hardware!!

Still looking for someone to take this over. PM me please if interested.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flyboy1100:
I didn't know you were still building time for a much needed upgrade
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] esalce:
Thanks for your continued work on this amazing ROM. This is in my honest opinion the best ROM for the note 2. Its fast quick and amazingly lite on the hardware and battery. Thanks again for all of your work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] HeadKase:
Backed everything up and started from a clean fresh install (sometimes it's fun to set everything up again :D haha ). Running Slim 5.95, Slim AIO GApps 5.8-60, ND7 Radio and AGNI Kernel 2.8.2 R2. This ROM is so damn smooth. It's fast, battery life is amazing with the AGNI kernels, WiFi works great, GPS locks on quick, Bluetooth audio in my car is fantastic. There was one weird problem I was experiencing since the new dialer came out. If you are the type of person to disable window animation scale, transition animation scale and animator duration scale through developer options then you more than likely would have experienced it as well. When I opened my dialer and clicked on the button for the number pad nothing "popped up" per say (it did but the buttons were not visible). I would have to click the button again to close it and then click it again to get it to display. Mildly annoying but it wasn't a huge deal. If you go to developer options -> animator duration scale and set it to a low value like 0.25X or 0.5X, that should solve that problem. This might even help to solve some other minor animation related problems you've been experiencing other places.

Thanks gchild for continuing to build this ROM. Really hope that someone takes it over for you.

ISIS Wallet for Verizon?

Hi!

Does anyone know if there is a way to install ISIS Wallet for Verizon on AOSP roms? I've tried install the one from my back up and it refused to install. Also searching on the playstore only results in the AT&T verision of the app. Anybody know a workaround for this??

This is the only thing that is keeping me from using this rom because I use ISIS tied with Serve for some freebies and coupons!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DrunkUncas:
So is there a secret squirrel way to turn the hardware button lights off?

Because I'm pretty sure I'm unchecking the right box, and those little bastards are still lighting up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jarm3r:
Settings -> advanced options -> device -> screen -> scroll down to the touch keys section and uncheck backlight options.

That worked for me right off the bat. I hate those little bastards as well. I like that they're there, just not that they light up.

If that's not working maybe check root privileges? Can't remember if that section of the options requires it or not, but its just a thought.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DrunkUncas:
Errr, yeah. That seems to be a problem. Ti Backup and FolderMount don't seem to be able to get root.

Tried installing Super SU from the Play store and from a zip. No luck.

Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
Just go to developer options and enable it. Apps and adb.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DrunkUncas:
That's the ticket. I was going Nav>Hardware.

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jeff_in_LA:
Hey, I loved this rom. Gave a new lease on life to my phone..

but..

GPS stopped locking. Nothing I could do would change that. (Including factory data reset)

Any ideas?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jarm3r:
Check back through this thread, we've talked and talked about it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jeff_in_LA:
I searched the thread, all I found was don't use other kernels. Can you link to it.. Thanks

It did work perfect for about a week.. very strange.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jarm3r:
Start at my post 1517 and go down from there, there's quotes that also mention much earlier posts about GPS conf edits and how to do the Ol tw lock then flash fast
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
Anyone want to make a GPS post that I can copy into the op? Sick of reading "GPS doesn't work on this Rom."
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] danaff37:
Here you go, GPS fixes that worked for me...

GPS edits:

Edit the file at /system/etc/gps.conf (I use root explorer). Uncomment these lines by removing the leading #:

NTP_SERVER=north-america.pool.ntp.org

SUPL_HOST=supl.host.com or IP

SUPL_PORT=1234

Save, and reboot. If you still don't have gps, download a Verizon based touchwiz Rom (I had alliance and used that), reboot into recovery and back up slim kat. Then, wipe and flash the touch wiz Rom. You should notice that your GPS is off even though it's a clean flash and it should be on. Turn on GPS, and get a lock - I used GPS status app so that I could verify the number of satellites that locked. Once you get a solid lock, reboot to recovery immediately while it's locked in. Now restore slim kat, then boot into it and now get a lock
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jeff_in_LA:
Thank you! I'm trying that tomorrow.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jarm3r:
Flashing 6 now, thanks so much gchild!

One question though: I thought I had a page for this earlier but now I can't find it at all: what's the differences between the gapps packages on this page: http://slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/dlsearch/viewcategory/1150-addons4-4

Full, normal, mini...??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] SonOfUncleSam:
I myself have never done the mini package before, but from extracting it, it looks like it contains Gmail, CloudPrint and Hangouts.

The normal package has Google Now Launcher, Gmail, Hangouts, CloudPrint, YouTube, Google Play Music, Calendar Sync services, and a couple of other things that are services for the Google based apps.

The full contains all that the normal package has, plus Google+, Translate, Maps, Keep, Google Text To Speech, Google Drive and Google Chrome.

Me personally, I would install the 'Normal' package, as that is what (I feel..) most people use. And then you can plug in other essentials such as maps and chrome in from the play store. Thats just my two cents though.

By the way, thank you GChild for your continued support on this ROM, even though you no longer have the device. Your work is greatly appreciated!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jeff_in_LA:
Hate to ask.. where is the link to build 6?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jarm3r:
Jeff: the link's in the OP, but here it is just in case it's hard to find: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=15081

SonOfUncleSam: thanks! I did wind up flashing the normal and am happy with that. I thought the same you did so went with that. I think I did the mini before on a older clean flash and had issues with voice recognition through google, so must not have installed something required for that.

Running build 6 now with no issues so far! I'll report back here if I have any, but I haven't had anything major crop up on older builds.

---------- Post added at 06:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:19 PM ----------

One thing I can't figure, but I think its in here somewhere: where is the option to have the advanced reboot menu turned on so I can select recovery, normal reboot, etc... ? I clean flashed and now for the life of me I can't find it!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] danaff37:
Should be there already - just hit the reboot option, and it gives you another popup to select where to reboot too. You can also add a reboot quick settings tile, and a short tap will toggle between normal and recovery while long press will perform the action shown.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DrunkUncas:
It's under "Security", obviously. ;)

It's pretty awesome when the biggest complaint I've got about a ROM is that the settings are sometimes less than intuitive.

This thing rocks. In a big way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jarm3r:
That was it! Haha I knew it was there I just couldn't find it.

And yep, I've flashed aokp, pa, liquid, and long ago all the tw ROMs and I keep coming back to slim. By far my favorite.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
I'll update the thread now that we've had successful flashes. Thanks guys
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jarm3r:

How would one get the holo theme system wide?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] HeadKase:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jarm3r:
I haven't flashed custom kernels in forever, maybe even back to the old d1 days. I'm usually pretty happy with what comes with the ROMs. However, I keep hearing over and over about this agni... Is it really that noticeable an improvement over whatever comes with slimkat ?

I flashed 4.4 with cwm and now have no data network connection. Baseband version says "unknown". Also none of my contacts loaded. Any idea how to fix this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dvanzutphenkann:
Contacts won't load without a baseband I had the same issue. You gotta format data, system, cache, and dalvik, and also run a factory reset before flashing just to be sure and it should work. BTW make sure you're in 6.0.4.3 because ROM manager has been installing 6.0.3.4 and saying that to get the latest version of cwm from that app you need to buy the pro version. Just in case you need it here it is https://www.dropbox.com/s/umf2rvsbqv98564/i605_touch_recovery_6.0.4.3.zip flash in recovery and boot back into recovery and have at it

Dirty flashed AGNI 2.8.3 over 2.8.2 and everything is still working great. It's funny to go in to the CM11 thread and see the massive amount of problems that people have. I appreciate everyone's work on all of these ROM's but it's funny to see people bail on some of them to go back to TouchWiz before trying a different ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DrunkUncas:
I had a PM discussion a few days ago on this very subject.

I had given up on AOSP after many, many, many CM11 flashes. The ROM is decent, but the battery life is bad at best, and horrific at worst.

I assumed that if CM couldn't get it right, no one could. I was wrong. This ROM is spectacular.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] HeadKase:
I think this ROM is incredibly solid with great battery life. My GPS and WiFi are solid. I have a lot of respect for the developers in the Android community I just find it interesting when some people bash a specific ROM to go back to stock without trying other ROMs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
from slim g+. I'll try and get this built asap

SlimKat weekly 6.2 started building!

Besides a lot of bug fixes, kernel updates and translations we are proud to announce two big original features: Slim Heads Up and a revamped Quiet hours.

Slim Heads Up: Heads up was a feature introduced by Google at I/O 14, found hidden in KitKat by CM. Our implementation differs from CM’s as we wanted our version of heads up to be slim and user friendly. For more info see this post:*https://plus.google.com/107859134357373490612/posts/bJABHs1aNMj

Revamped Quiet hours: You can now set different quiet hours on different days. You can also set quiet hours to be enabled automatically when connected to charger or to a WiFi connection. For more info see this post:*https://plus.google.com/112820994555880155233/posts/ZGZKbbCPXHJ
