[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mao04:
I was finally able to fix my ringtone issues. Here is what I ended up doing. Not sure all these steps needed to be done or done in this order, but it is what worked for me.

Delete ALL unwanted ringtones from external sd card and internal storage.

Search through external sd card and internal storage for any old rom files I may have unzipped and deleted them or put nomedia files with them.

Search entire phone (root and all storage) for any stray media files that may have been getting picked up when media scan was running and delete, move, or put .nomedia files with them.

Go to all apps on phone and set notifications and ringtones to one of the tones in system/media/audio.

Go to app manager, find media storage and clear cache and data.

Reboot into recovery wipe dalvik and cache.

Reboot and let phone sit for a time while the media scanner looks for notifications and ringtones.

Choose tones for apps and from this point forward only put ringtones and notifications in their folders in internal storage or system/media/audio.

Remember if you use an OTG USB, media scanner will find ringtones and notifications on it and list them for you to choose, sometimes even after you remove the USB and the files can't be played any more.

I think the cause was that the media scanner sometimes seems to get confused, listing stray tones that it can no longer find or allowing you to choose tones that are no longer available. Wiping the media scanner's cache and data and cache and dalvik seems to give it a kick and get it reset.

Hope this helps as I know this was a vexing problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scottay5150:
Quick question. Google + is FC like crazy. I have to delete it. How do I fix this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
Gapps
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scottay5150:
Yes I did that with KK GAPPS.. Time to wipe and reinstall?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
Maybe check slimroms.net and see if you're using the latest package.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scottay5150:
I did this as well. The only thing force closing on me. Dl the aio package
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DrewBot:
I want to try out the linaro 4.8 version of this rom and an currently running the 4.7 build. Can I dirty flash this or would I need to reset?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] amoot329:
I would recommend a clean flash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
Should be fine either way
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
Build 4.4 is up, be aware new slim gapps as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] michigan66:
How is Bluetooth volume for everyone? On the last version I made 2 calls and they both couldn't hear me. It was kind of weird . It was the first Bluetooth issue I have had using Slim.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
Been reported to aokp, cm, and Omni. But texting is broken in all aosp roms for Central PA and parts of VA unless we're on 1X. 4G and 3G texting is broken. Maybe something you can let slim guys know?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
Bluetooth is working perfect
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmike35:
latest build seems to be running really good for me, fresh installed yesterday. The ringtones keep resetting themselves after each reboot, I saw a fix few post back, going to try that, can anyone confirm it works or a fix to correct this issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] *Hooligan*:
This ROM is running pretty dang smooth. I have one question though and that's is how do you change the font? I find no option for this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Shamestick:
When I was on slim I would use something called fontfly, search for it on XDA it should be like the first thing, and they were just aroma installers of a bunch of different fonts
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ttxcsabby:
Is anyone having an issue with video recording? I get a constant freeze, than I have to reboot to connect back to camera. Other than that, very solid rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmike35:
when bringing up "recent apps" (long press home) is there a way to kill all apps or you have to swipe each on individually?

And by the way, I was able to fix the ringtone problem. Move the media (ringtones, alarms, notifications...) to /storage/media/audio, then select the ones you want (if you see 2 options, pick the top one, well for me that worked) then wiped media storage, reboot recovery, wipe dalvik/cache, reboot. This has worked so far, rebooted 5 times and ringtones have stayed. This is based off the fix a few pages back minus deleting everything, just copied and paste to /storage/media/audio.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] amoot329:
To close all the apps, you just need to pinch the recent apps list.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmike35:
Thanks! Did everything but that lol, that helps, i knew there had to be a way
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] *Hooligan*:
Did you go into Developer Options and pick Apps and ADB for Root Access? I've done this and my ringtones stay picked and do not revert. I think this was mentioned in the OP. This is just a suggestion though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
Did you update gapps? Also I'll be posting a new build today or tomorrow
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmike35:
Yes I Have, always do that. I was able to fix it by placing the tones I wanted into /storage/media/audio....weird but it worked, never had this problem with any rom except this one. But its running great now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] willg_smith:
Does anyone know how to increase headphone volume? Its slightly lower than touchwiz when listening to music, but its almost impossible to hear when talking on the phone. Major problem for me because I like to talk on the phone while doing other things. I was also told it was hard to hear me when I had the headphones plugged in but they could hear me just fine when using it without them. Everything else is fine though! Great work!!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Realm11984:
Love this ROM, I have only seen two issues. One is the video camera will freeze after multiple times of opening and exiting. Two is only with the latest 4.4, clean flashed, proximity sensor is off and the screen flashes on and off during calls. Thanks for the hard work, solid ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
Weird not having any of those issues. Just no sms. Wanna trade symptoms?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Realm11984:
Hmmm, maybe just a fluke. I'll do a clean wipe on the next release and see what happens.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] *Hooligan*:
I'm having this issue too. My camera also freezes after taking a pic or two. Haven't grid video though. I also downloaded camera zoom fx and it froze as well. I had performed a clean install. Weird... I get camera could not connect error.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
Try the 4.6 build I posted yesterday with new slim gapps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
Uploaded a new 4.6 build it which should fix camera issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xcharliemikex:
This is my first time using this ROM... I came from CM11. For some reason both the Google Camera and Android Camera are not showing up in my app drawer. The app list under settings shows the Google Camera is installed but no sign of the Android Camera. Any ideas on why they disappeared?

EDIT: Nevermind...something went wrong when installing GApps and restoring from Titanium Backup. All is well and loving this ROM!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
SMS is still broken for parts of PA, VA, and MD. :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Army_Spec_Ops:
So I got this ROM installed last night and installed titanium back up but apparently I don't have root anymore... Any help?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] asdr24:
Can anyone tell me how to force the action overflow menu?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikelikesbikes:
Go to developer option and look for a setting about granting root. You'll have a few choices, apps only, adb only, or both. Just pick one as long as apps is part of the option and reboot. That should do it. May not even need a reboot. Another thing to consider is if you installed a custom kernel. I've had those break root before.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Army_Spec_Ops:
Tried that and nothing happened. Tried installing supersu and superuser (separately) and going through the update processes and they couldn't even install
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] plainbum:
Is it possible to assign actions to buttons on a blueooth mouse?

I would like to assign:

Left button = select

right button = back

middle scroll wheel button go to home screen.

It works this way with Alliance's TW ROM and I like it.

Thanks! :angel:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
Hey guys I got the m8 today and will be selling my note2. I'll build another slim for now, but if anyone with a little experience compiling wants to take this over, pm me. I'll give you step by step instructions on how to get it to boot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] HeadKase:
That's awesome that you got a new phone. This is honestly the best ROM I have used for any phone that I have ever had. Thank you for building this for us.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] djd338:
+2!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ztotherad:
fershur thought about trying to take it over, lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] THEbigSWEEN:
This has been my go to ROM for this phone and appreciate you building for us. If you build for the m8 as well that'll probably be a factor when the G3 comes out and I'm deciding which one to get. ;) Thanks for all your time and effort spent on the Note 2!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] plainbum:
Nobody can help?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] drahpatel02:
will miss you. thanks for your efforts.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
I'd take this over but with texting not working for Central PA and VA on aosp I don't have interest at this time. Maybe down the road when someone figures it out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] itch808:
so far never heard of txting being an issue with this rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
It's a bizzare region issue with aosp roms. Only a small percentage of us can't text. Hence the reason you haven't heard of it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ztotherad:
yeah, surprisingly here in Illinois [possibly the midwest in a whole] I haven't had any problems with AOSP texting.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] esalce:
Has anyone else had issue's sending out mms. With textsecure.

I have issue's with mms sometimes in hangouts a reboot takes care of that. However with text secure i am unable to send any mms. The stock text app works though
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tdawgg777:
I'd pm but for some reason it never works. Have you sold your note yet? I may be interested in buying it. Mine is locked on 4.3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
It's gone
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tdawgg777:
Oh well. Perhaps mobiletechvideos is gonna be my last resort to downgrade. 75$ and sending out my phone is gonna suck!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] amoot329:
Well I'm not sure what I wanna do yet. Really love this ROM. Its my goto, tried many others. Now I'm being offered a new phone and I can't decide between S5 or the Note 3. I'm gonna be getting the developer edition so no worries about locked bootloader with Verizon. My only disappointment is that nobody is making a SlimRom for either phone. Not that I could find for sure. What are people's opinions on either phone? This is someone coming from this sweet Note 2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MHatter469:
Google Wallet / Isis working?

Has anyone figured out how make Google Wallet or Isis work? I have searched and tried several of the solutions, but none work. I would prefer GW but would take either.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrbxx7:
Do u have a isis backup from 4.3? Restoring mine from a 4.3 backup with data was the only way I was able to get it working.

TaPpEd from my XpOsEd 4.4.2 NIII
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Redapple63:
I thought Google Wallet is supposed to work on Verizon Note 2 & Android 4.4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
Google wallet works just fine for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] peacewise:
With Tap & Pay?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Redapple63:
Tap & Pay should work with 4.4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MHatter469:
I guess I should've been clear, that is Google Wallet Tap & Pay or Isis Mobile Wallet pay.

I have the NFC compatible SIM from Verizon.

I contacted Google and they told me that Tap & Pay is not available on Verizon (or AT&T). I'm sure there is a way to hack it, I used to use it on my GNex,

Worst case Isis, I would prefer Google Wallet, with Tap & Pay.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] peacewise:
Hmm, I can't get Tap & Pay to work on this ROM direct from the Play Store (Tap & Pay is isn't an option) or the modified version in the Apps section of XDA (setup always fails). What might I be doing wrong?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
Not to argue with you but this information is not correct. Tap and pay not available for att or Verizon? So most of the country can't use it? I had to laugh. It works just fine. Never used isis but the Google wallet app works great.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MHatter469:
Please, I do not want to argue either, I just want it to work. How can I get it to work?

Wallet 2.0-R163-v18-RELEASE
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] michigan66:
What version are you guys using? Are we able to use the tOlte version that is posted on the slim website?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] audiophizile:
I would like know if this works as well
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rufflez2010:
Wait for 4.4 touchwiz to be released. The reason tap and pay doesn't work is because HCE doesn't work with the NXP chip. Should be in touchwiz 4.4.2 or aosp 4.4.3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
It won't work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kingtrini82:
Any news on the sms problems for some regions
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
Still doesn't work :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chopt51:
I was going to check out this ROM just for kicks. But SMS is broke? I'm currently on Vanir 4.4.2 and there are no issues with SMS.

Is this ROM still getting support?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
If it works on vanir then sms will work for you. All aosp roms texting is broken for certain regions. They never could find a fix. Gchild was selling his phone and was looking for someone to take over building slim rom I don't believe anyone has taken it over.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] avoider03:
64 Gb SD Card

Could you please explain? I have the same problem..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] avoider03:
64 Gb SD Card

Specifically, it won't read my card, although it does when I go back to Beans.

Has anyone gotten a 64 Gb card to read in the Slimkat ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] willg_smith:
Has anyone experienced anything weird with the video camera audio? For some reason, when I record videos in the camera app, the audio only plays on the left side of my headphones. I tried it with an application called 'snap camera' and it also worked well, but instead the audio played in the right headphone that time.. Google Camera plays in the left speaker headphone too.. any idea why it's doing this or any way to fix it? My videos recorded on stock ROMs sound great and work in both headphones but these don't.. I have a big family vacation coming up soon and this is literally the only thing that's wanting to make me revert to 4.3 and I've been running solid for over a month!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] *Hooligan*:
I had to format my card as fat32 before it read it in Slimkat.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] djd338:
I sure wish somebody would take over the updates. To me, it's sorta like when your power or water goes out. There's ways you can get by, but it sure is nice once it comes back after being off a while!

Thanks [MENTION=4221111]ztotherad[/MENTION] for testing
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nkmhockey:
I see almost 20 downloads on the new build - can we safely assume this is ok to flash?

Thanks again - keep up the great work!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ztotherad:
bro, flash it! it's clean, believe me. I'm running it right now actually.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] harshybar:
So what does this latest update have? Sorry I been out of the loop since CM11 didn't work for me for that last 6 months.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ztotherad:
go check out the changelog on slim's website, sir
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmike35:
been craving some slim, thanks for the update!! Going to install shortly, hows it running for people? Change logs looked decent from slimroms for the past month or so
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ztotherad:
ran quite amazingly. I had it installed with AGNi kernel and the rom/kernel combo flew! go install it!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] djd338:
+2 on the flying! Running great with agni. Thanks again for your work & time gchild!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] *.jpg:
It's running great. I love having such a lightweight frame on which to hang just the options I want. It runs great with good battery life and is definitely daily driver ready.

The only complaint I have is that Slim has the same quirk that I've noticed with all KitKat AOSP ROMs I've tried. The alarm clock won't snooze via any of the actions listed in the settings: buttons, shaking, turning over. I can get this functionality by installing a 3rd-party alarm clock app, so it's not that big of a deal. I just wonder if it's symptomatic of some other issue on my phone . . .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jmcturnan:
24 hours and zero issues! Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
Works perfectly for me. That's weird that it works with an app but not built in.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] *.jpg:
It works perfectly for me on anything I've tried that's pre-4.4+. Weird. I'm just going to live with it for now. I still love this phone :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
Our phones are possessed nothing surprises me anymore. I mean come on the fix for SMS is freaking crazy! I'm just happy and thankful to be back on aosp! What a miserable few months without it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] amoot329:
They finally fixed the SMS problem? So what was it, something to do with the AOSP code or Verizon's fault?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] *.jpg:
We fixed it by flashing an early version of the TW 4.4.2 leak, rebooting a couple of times and then flashing CM11. I've used SlimKat and PAC successfully also.

Props go to [MENTION=3423192]DreamFX[/MENTION] for bulldogging the issue until he found a solution, odd though it might be.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmike35:
Latest build is running smoothly, thank you sit! Agni kernel installed. Missed some slim.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] djd338:
Glad you guys are finally back up. I didn't have the problem but was trying to follow the search - just in case. Good work Dream!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] peacewise:
Flashed the latest build, everything is looking good, thanks. Is touch wake not included in this build? Can't seem to find it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
Touchwake is a kernel setting. You'll have to enable it in an app such as trickstermod. I do believe it's available with the stock kernel, otherwise flash a 3rd party kernel that supports it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] peacewise:
Thanks gchild - it's grayed out in trickster so I'll check some other kernels, like angi perhaps. Again, thanks for making another release for us (until I get a G3)!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmike35:
Anyone having problems with led notifications? They don't seem to work, when I.test then in the menu they do but not when I have notifications. I have agni kernel installed as well. Other then that, build is running amazing

It seems text and email notifications work, but not app options.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
Agni does this for me too. I reverted back to using stock kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikelikesbikes:
I know I've asked this in other threads so I apologize if I aggravate someone. Was wondering if the Google Now voice search tones are still quirky, they cut out on me and make my speakers sound busted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] harshybar:
Love this rom!!!

Silky Smooth, Snappy and Stable. LOVE IT.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DanCran:
Anybody having trouble with GPS? Clean flashed the new build yesterday and haven't had GPS since.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmike35:
No, my first lock took a few but I haven't had trouble since. Did you wipe (format) system when you installed? I have ran into trouble when doing that with acquiring GPS lock afterwards.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] killa408shark:
I usually don't get GPS on aosp ROMs but with this one I got a lock right away. Make sure when you wipe also wipe internal just make sure you back up everything you wanna keep
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mao04:
Navigate to system/etc. Open gps .conf and edit last line. Change the 0 to a 1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jarm3r:
Man alive, I'm so happy to be back on Slim!!!

Have one question, probably a setting I'm just totally missing, but I can't figure out how to prevent the notification bar from being grayed out inside apps...?

Like, on the homescreen, the notification bar time and icons are bright white, but when I enter into any app, even settings, it grays them out a bit so they're harder to see, especially in bright sunlight. Where's the setting to not gray the status bar out?

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] amoot329:
I'm not even sure of that myself. I do have the Real Dark Slim activated. Currently my status bar is half translucent. Whenever I goto settings or any other app, the status bar becomes full black.

My guess would be something to do with the settings->interface. There is options in Notification & QS Drawer for transparency and colors.

Edit: forgot to mention that I'm using Nova Launcher, it may have something to do with it also.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jarm3r:
Okay, so I figured out that on the home screen, my launcher (Smart Launcher) is controlling the status bar transparency effect. There's an option in the launcher settings to make it transparent. Which is great, wonderful! When I'm on the home screen the status bar text and icons (time, 4g lte, battery, etc...) are all bright white (set in settings for slimkat) and look awesome. It's just when I go into ANY app, including the settings app, it's like some dark cloud goes over the status bar and greys everything out. All the bright white colors turn into a muted grey and are harder to read.

Anyone know how to fix this? I can't find a setting anywhere.

Also, under settings -> interface -> notification and qs drawer --- what does the slider for transparency do here? I don't notice that it does anything if I set it to 0, 50, or 100%...?!??!

Thanks Amoot for checking though!

edit: let me clarify:

the status bar itself going transparent on home, and going solid black inside apps is totally fine, I like that. It's the color of the text and icons ON the status bar that I'm asking about. I have them all set to the max white possible (all f's I think?) and on home screen they are bright white, but when I enter any app and the status bar goes solid black, the text and icons get grayed out. Hope this helps?
