I'm no expert, but I think there are some files that are written differently with KitKat and for some reason TWRP doesn't flash right for the initial flash. After you have data you can use TWRP without issues.

Ok thanks

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nullmem:
Ok, I have what might be a dumb question. I know restoring system apps is a bad idea for obvious reasons, however is there any particular reason why "Restoring Apps + Data" is a bad idea? Is this only a bad idea coming from another rom? I need to do clean re-flash of same nightly build, and unless there is some flaw in Titanium Backup, this should save me quite a bit of time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fordmanck:
I usually do a restore missing apps and data with no issues. Once in awhile I'll have a problem with one. If I do I delete it and reinstall.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jiggabitties:
Welp, I can say that as of the latest nightly the camera has gotten significantly better. I was just able to switch between camera and video modes, turn the screen on and off, and then take about 25 pictures one after the other. No lock up. I'm on the stock kernel and 12/30 PA GApps. I'm going to give it a bit and see how the battery fairs since I've been on DevelKernel up until now.

Same here, except I just go into apps and clear the data on ones I know have issues. Always waze and sometimes facebook. K9mail restore with data works great, it didn't used to, so configuring 13 email account accounts each sucked. So I have 11 configured in K9, 1 in touchdown and then I only have to configure 2 gmail accounts. Saves ton of time, now to just have a way to save the default launcher layout....

Does using hangouts for SMS use data
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
The size is handled in the app that you choose. I have explained this several times. It's not rom driven. It is also limited by your carrier. But to ask the same question everytime a new nightly is released isn't going to get you anywhere.

---------- Post added at 08:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:42 AM ----------

Just backup the default launcher and restore like you would any other app. It's a system app so it's ignored on batch backup unless you add system apps to it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Syns:
I have used 8sms, hangouts, handcent, the stock, Go SMS app and they are all the same size 30kb MMS. This is only happens with aops roms,

Is there a MOD I can flash for the stock SMS for in touchwiz?

I love this ROM I don't want to leave it.

Also please advise on Wi-Fi direct if its searching for devices for you.

Thanks again.

Im getting some funky battery life, not sure if its because I have been on wifi the majority of the day at home, all the 4.4kit kat roms seem to be similar...

Any input would be great, or maybe even an app suggestion to see whats actually causing the drain. Screen on time was low. Mostly concerned with the android OS nearly taking up as much as my screen on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fordmanck:
Stock kernel?

Obviously I've been getting my candy crush on hence the short time but I'm happy with 6 hours of screen time. I have virtually zero drain when the phone is in deep sleep. This is with devil kernel and a custom script flashed to optimize.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 66racer:
Yeah stock kernel, Which version of devil are you running? I tried one of them maybe a week ago but switched roms before I gave it a chance. Last time I got nearly 3hrs of screen on (by 50%) was on a 4.3.x aokp build with saber tweaks on it.

When is the Volumes issue going to be on the radar?

When I got my Note 2, I was very happy that it was the loudest phone I have owned. I want CM11, but the horrible volume is making it tough. Notifications are dim. Call volume is so low my wife gets mad having to yell on her end cuz I can't hear her. Bluetooth is great but I am not used to carrying it every where. Also phones are not ok at my work, so I use speaker phone a lot. Which is hardly audible.

Devil Kernel helps, but it is glitchy. I wake up to a dead battery with it. Causes dropped calls too
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
Aosp for 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 all have low volume. As far as I know no one is attempting to fix this issue. The devs argue that it's loud enough. Devil kernel and for the older aosp roms plasma kernel are the only ways to bump it up. But it still doesn't come close to TW. So IMO they will never be on the radar. I watched all these aosp roms suffer this fate for note 2 so I just use Devil Kernel and make do.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] timmyd463229:
How do you make the volume louder with devil kernel
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
Devil app and audio tab. Assuming you have the kernel installed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] timmyd463229:
Yeah I have the kernel do I get the app from the playstore

If Devil kernel can have volume tweaks why can't the cm kernel have them too? I opened Devil tools and cm kernel doesn't have anything on the volume tab. :eek:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
I always asked that and never got an answer. My best guess is because cm is Multi device so their kernel is very basic.

I know you can find threads and links but people who have better battery stats or who monitors their battery drainage, are you getting high android os (or in bbs powerservicewidget.wakelock) using latest builds.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fordmanck:

I'm using defaults for kernel, but I turn off LTE and use battery saving GPS mode when indoors, and I make sure my phone properly sleeps by closing out apps and not running unnecessary services. Also my screen timeout is 30 sec and I manually set screen brightness low when indoors.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmike35:
on average stock kernel, stock battery, pa gapps, leave lte on while at work (at home I turn off data service cuz I get no service and use wifi), I actually underclock it 1300/200 until 35% I use 800/200, always leave location off till needed, sync is off till needed, apps that refresh auto intervals are set to 2-4hours (due all syncing manually), brightness I control, I always get about 32-40hours w/ 5-6hours on screen time, apex launcher, 3 screens, full with icons and 3 widgets, runs smooth as butter and great battery. Currently using devil, same set up but also undervolt by 75mV

Its when my phone doesn't sleep, sits in 200-300mhz and raises my idle drain. Affects battery overall but still get at least 30hours w/ 4-5hours on screen.

You should check out Screebl. It keeps your screen on based on device orientation so you can have your screen timeout set to 15s but never worry about it shutting off while your using it.

Yeah, and much as I like stock Android, I give up after a couple days and go back to TW. CM kernel volumes are not even close to loud enough, and the Devil Kernel helps but doesn't get close. I assume the kernel is using a somewhat generic driver that is not tuned to the Note 2.
