Ok I man up and did it and mms is still a no go but at least I know I'm a big strong man for extracting a file from a zip and replacing a file. It felt good to go in there and try and fix something. Got root explorer that's what I use when I change my build.prop

---------- Post added at 01:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:30 PM ----------

Yup master toggles baked in just click the app in the app drawer and the phone should reboot after to grant the app root privileges then the toggles should be installed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cbrinnny:
That's exactly how I felt the first time I modified a file lol I mean, how many times we modify files in Windows, so I was like what the heck, let's do this! :laugh:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bama17:
Convert the launcher apk to a system app in TiBu. It's not exactly necessary but I would reboot after converting it jus to be safe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dvanzutphenkann:
Absolutely except I don't have a pc so I was a bit more ambivalent lol ¤

We have to much fun on this thread I don't even read the other rom threads anymore lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kingamra:
If I'm the only one to get that mms zip to work I might play some power ball tonight... just in case I'm using latest cwm (pretty sure it's 6.0.4.3)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mdbowman:
No issues with Nova here. Working AWESOME.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dvanzutphenkann:
I just installed it gangnam style and it didn't fix my issue. I received a 1 dollar scratch off last night and won 20 tho lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cbrinnny:
Yes, this is an awesome thread. The devs are one of the most helpful guys I have seen and the community really help each other. :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobysnack:
Ok I'm sorry about the last fix not working (I just learned how to make a update.zip). I tried it on my phone and it failed also. I re-wrote the script and now it loads for me so it should for you too.

Try it with the link I just posted. I'm hoping it will get you up and running again :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dvanzutphenkann:
I already extracted the app from the file and replaced it and renamed the old to .Bak but it didn't fix my issue. I took your advice the first time. Thanks though. It doesn't fix my outgoing mms
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sledwrecker:
Data keeps going away... It works for a little while then it stops. It seems to be when I go into an area with poor reception then I go back to a good reception area... It NEVER comes back unless I reboot the phone. Toggling data does not resolve the issue. I posted this issue yesterday and no one responded.. please.... help.....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobysnack:
The fix has the framework with it also.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kingamra:
I wonder if 3rd party apps (Google Talk or vzw messenger) would work as temp fix for those mms and sms issues?

speaking of those pesky signals bars.... I was walking thru the basement of the hospital (cell dead zone near the morgue) and I showed all bars lit up.... I couldn't make a phone call or Internet but those buggers were on....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DMardroid:
I want to attempt to apply the GPS fix by restoring a 4.1.2 backup - get a lock.. Then restoring back to this ROM.

Q: Restoring this 4.3 ROM backup from a 4.1.2 ROM works?

(Apologize if this already has been addressed)

EDIT: restoring worked and all but still no GPS lock.

Maps Can sorta find my location, but get no satellites via GPS test
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
I'm at work right now, so my response will be slow. But yes I will help you. Can you run a logcat for me while waiting for the data to reconnect so I can see whats going on?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 05Warrior:
Just a little feedback on the MMS fix. It installed fine but for me It didn't work. I can still send pictures and receive them but I can't send a long text message.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
Did you use the MMS Mod I posted? I remember Editing so smali on LONG SMS in that mod.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 05Warrior:
I used the one on page 104 posted by Scooby.

I'll download yours now and try it.

Edit.... I just installed the mms mod in the OP but had the same issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mlin:
I haven't had anything like this. I use Juice Defender to toggle my data connection based on screen state and I've never experienced my data not turning back on, even in areas of poor reception. Did you do a clean flash? What recovery are you using and what version number?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BornDroid:
I've been using hangouts for my SMS/MMS and it works flawlessly. I had hangups on thee SecMMS and thought I would have to leave this ROM and then I went to hangouts and its been perfect ever since. I've had literally 0 issues on this. Added apps to the floating windows list last night . I'm a happy camper
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Papasmurf8314:
Do we have the Air Command Window from the pen in this ROM? I just installed this and playing around and thought it was there but can't get it to work. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jpcdeux:
No.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sledwrecker:
Thanks for the reply. I too am at work then I am traveling this weekend. I have a complete nandroid backup of my previous setup in case I have to fall back on it while traveling. Nothing worse then no / poor data connection while in transit.

To respond to the other poster's inquarie. Yes, I did a clean install, full wipe before installing this rom. I also did the Odin wifi fix after. The initial boot after install took quite a long time, probobly somewhere around 7-10 minutes.

For the most part this has been very stable. Biggest issue is dropping data and can't send SMS with more then 15 or so words.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cbrinnny:
Air Command works for me flawlessly. You have to press the button of the S-Pen and hold it near the screen until it pops up the air command circle.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
Yes air command , and spen windows both work..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dvanzutphenkann:
Air command works, not everything tho
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kingamra:
Release 9z-2

}long press air view... Last option air command.... Works well

If you select air command as the default action with removal of s pen you will get fc/reboot (known)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dvanzutphenkann:
Link doesn't work anymore
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Papasmurf8314:
Thanks I got to work. Another question, we can't use tap to pay on the note at all? I used it a lot on my nexus, was very convenient sometimes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dvanzutphenkann:
Found it on old link and flashed successful but I still get invalid address error.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobysnack:
The old link was messed up. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4M-XKtpQrF7dTdodnM0Nk1haTg/edit?usp=sharing
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dvanzutphenkann:
Invalid address error, i don't have any idea what it means but it gives me hope because it gives you guys a clue as to what might be wrong.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobysnack:
Have you tried this fix posted by WarlockLord in his thread?

I've figured out what's causing the sending MMS problem, and it's because the phone.apk can't read the MDN from the phone programming. Fixing it (for now, until I get a better phone.apk) means changing the MMSC lines in apn-conf.xml (which is located in /system/etc) to include your phone number in the string.

Change all the mmsc lines to:

mmsc="http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms?X-VZW-MDN=8605551212"

Of course replacing with your actual phone number and reboot. This should fix sending MMS.

As of 3.8.2, I have changed all the lines to mmsc="http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms?X-VZW-MDN=5555555555"

Replace 5555555555 with your actual phone number, save, fix permissions on the file if necessary, and reboot
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mdbowman:
FYI - I ran the master toggles mod, but then lost the ability to go in to settings and selectively remove toggles... they were forced there. So I saw a post that said to use titanium to clear data on settings.storage, but when doing that it messed up a whole lot of stuff.... lost all my settings... the home button didn't function normally... the screen wouldn't lock and all sorts of little issues... SO, I'm re-flashing the rom now. All this to say once I'm back up is there a way to add some of the toggles that come with the mod but not others???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dvanzutphenkann:
Trying now

---------- Post added at 04:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:15 PM ----------

How do I fix permissions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chubbrock:
I can't edit any of the APN fields either
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobysnack:
To fix permissions you would long press the file until a menu pops up the select permissions and you want rw/r/r
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dvanzutphenkann:
I thought it was rw-r-r
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mdbowman:
Also, I assume the mod in the second post labeled: Stock UI with Network Meter

Does it get rid of the signal bars for data and replace with text?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dvanzutphenkann:
Probably but you can also try it out in wanam

---------- Post added at 04:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:28 PM ----------

Did it and same issue should I change it back to what it was or just leave it as it is now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobysnack:
You are correct...sorry.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jdg1:
That is exactly what I did
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jpcdeux:
Just dirty flash over 412? That's what I did. I don't use GPS though
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobysnack:
I dirty flashed the whole way. I think I finally did a clean install on R9z.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
No that MOD simply adds Download speed to your status bar.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RedBaron134:
Thanks for the advise bama17 I will convert the apk later tonight. Waiting on the wife to get back from a business trip and need to communicate if necessary.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Epiic:
Multi-window

does multi-window have access to all apps in this rom? Also, does it have the "free" tether abilities?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
Yes there's a MultiWindow app manager and an spen app manager included.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bama17:
Hi guys. Loving this Rom and have been following it daily since the first day Angry Man started it, so I know that the reboot when removing the Spen is a known issue, but does anyone know what's causing it exactly? I use mine a good bit and just thought I'd ask. BTW Great job everyone that's involved with this. By far the best forum I've ever went into in years in regards to how helpful and pleasant everybody is. .. and the devs are incredible. Quick and helpful responses to ANY question that's asked. Just no sense in how some guys just tear into a noob for not reading 200 pgs before asking a simple question. I used to be one, just as EVERYONE else was at one time. Sorry to ramble, just happened to read something wolla go that kinda irritated me. But anyway, by far the best support and community I've ever been a part of in the 3 yrs since I started. Awesome job everybody. My Spen is driving me nuts tho! :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jdg1:
I cant get my one handed mode to work (small version of the scren with quick swipe). It is set on by default when the ROM is fresh flashed. I try to toggle it on and off but I get forced closed error. Was just curious on what anyone else did to get this feature towork.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dvanzutphenkann:
I don't know what causes it but I've read that if your air command is set to pop up with pen remove then it causes problems I just hold my pen above the screen and click the button and air command works without fail

---------- Post added at 09:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:07 PM ----------

I'm going to start reading up on this issue of mms tomorrow. Hit every forum I can find on xda and see if I can't find some ideas out about the causes and maybe a hint into a fix. I'll let you know if I find a anything out
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bama17:
U know I think ur right. I just installed this on my girlfriend's N2 and the dang pen is fine so it's something I'm doing and I bet that's what it is. Thanks for the help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobysnack:
What version of sky note are you on? It's odd some people are having a problem and others are not. I could not send mms after awhile and I just reloaded the mms.apk I posted and it worked ever since. I'll be busy this weekend and I have to get back to the gym in the mornings so I wont be on here as much but I will still try and see what I can do for this ROM.

The latest build with devil 2 kernel
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dvanzutphenkann:
I've done quite a bit of reading on this already tonight and I'm just stumped. The funniest thing is don't really care that mms don't send but the perfectionist in me want victory over this issue so bad that I've been trying every suggested fix on Google lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chubbrock:
Yeah I agree. I just did the same clean install on my friends note 2 and his mms sends! Did the same exact steps, same recovery, everything! I double checked his apn settings and they match mine. Very confused! Looks like it may be hardware related.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dvanzutphenkann:
Is your mms working both in and out going if so would you mind copying and pasting your apn-conf.xml file?

---------- Post added at 12:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:33 AM ----------

I think I may be on to something with regards to mms
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chubbrock:
I just copied and pasted the apns-conf.xml file from my friends note 2 with working mms sending and still didn't work on my phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dvanzutphenkann:
I think we have to add a few lines though. From a temp fix I saw the address we send sms are diffrent than mms and all I see in that file is the sms path way
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobysnack:
Just a thought here... Can you rename your SecMms.apk to SecMms.apk.bak then reboot. That will remove mms then go back and delete .Bak reboot and it will reload the program. Like I said just a thought.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dvanzutphenkann:
Sure in the mean time could you cook me up a stock kernel zip?

---------- Post added at 01:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:29 AM ----------

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] newbroot83:
Stupid noob question again, but here goes. I've never had an unlocked bootloader, I've always used locked bootloader recoveries. So let's say I decide to go back to stock and upgrade to 4.3 from there. If I use odin to flash back to locked bootloader and unrooted 4.1.2 will it brick my device where I am running a version of 4.3 currently?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dvanzutphenkann:
Does anyone have working MMS both ways?

---------- Post added at 03:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:02 AM ----------

You could flash a factory image and return to stock that's a option as long as you follow instructions you'll be fine

---------- Post added at 03:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:08 AM ----------

Remember though stock doesn't have the note 3 goodies
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] newbroot83:
Ok cool. I unlocked this device once before but never left 4.1.2 so I wasn't sure if it'd work the same. I have all the necessary files but I wanted to make sure in case, God forbid, something happened to my other half and I needed to ship it off to be repaired. Or if I just wanted to go stock again. I love this thing. I don't forsee using an upgrade any time soon

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ems3:
So I'm wondering since some people have issues with the messaging and gps and wifi while other people don't how many people got the note 2 when it launched last year.i got mine the day it came out and wonder if this might be the issue. Just a thought though
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dvanzutphenkann:
Did you do the wifi patch through Odin or devil 2 kernel?

---------- Post added at 06:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:45 AM ----------

Haha haha haha problem fixed devil 2 kernel is the culprit behind my failed mms I just passed a mms after re flashing rom dirty to get the stock kernel. That's it fellas I just kept plugging away until I figured it out. Now to borrow a laptop from family to flash the wifi fix and then profit.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 05Warrior:
Just the Wi-Fi patch.

Edit... could u post if u are able to send long text messages? Thanks...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dvanzutphenkann:
I had to restore to my nandroid backup because I broke a bunch of stuff trying to gain access to the create apn settings lol. I'm going to apply the wifi patch this weekend hopefully tomorrow and then I'll type a super long sms just for you bud

---------- Post added at 07:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:06 AM ----------

Btw how long are the texts that you're trying to send?

---------- Post added at 07:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:07 AM ----------

If it's not to much trouble could I get a zip of the stock kernel pleeeease? Oh and will the wifi patch remain even through flashing other rooms because I'm a flashaholic I have no desire to flash anything else for the time being but we all know how exciting development can get. I'm satisfied right here tho
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 05Warrior:
My failed text messages are about 190 letters including spaces. Isn't the limit 160 characters? I wonder if the problem could be trying to convert the text conversation to mms?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
I also had this issue as well.. And then a simple text like 10-15 characters would just load and not send. I switched to using hangouts and haven't ran into any problems with long or short messages.. And I like the ui of hangouts better

MMS is fine.

Damn signal bars... Love this ROM, I'll be back when those work!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mdbowman:
FYI - op said once you flash wifi fix you shouldn't ever have to flash it again. So you shouldn't have to redo that if you installed it previously.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jewnersey:
My mms is fine. Lost GPS lock (has happened to me with other roms) but have yet to flash back to restore it .

I use sliding messaging. Both pics and long texts are going through and coming in.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Daciple:
Getting ready to jump to this rom. But couldn't you use hangouts to fix the mms feature. I use hangouts as my Messenger with stock messaging frozen. Believe hangouts works natively!

Sent from Galaxy Note II running on JellyButter
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mdbowman:
I'm thinking with other roms out there that have bridged the gap between carriers this signal meter would have been ran into before. Surely there is a fix already out there we can find...

PS love the rom!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shellie03:
I can't send long text messages either. I just don't go over 160 characters. Break it up into smaller texts. Maybe this will be fixed when they release a ota update they can build off of.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] newbroot83:
Just figured out I can't send mms either. But I don't really send them so no biggie. Maybe yall will find a fix soon that doesn't require odin

---------- Post added at 12:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 PM ----------

The signal issue could be involved with device hardware signal graph, the app I acquired appears to work, where it pulls from the signal raw data to display signal. Not really my expertise to take on, but hope to help maybe shed light on a possibility.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] E30Nova:
Well first, I want to say thanks for that because although I'd heard of gravity box, I never really looked into it to see what it did. Sounds like it will do a lot of what I want.

But second, the main reason for my post was to see if anyone knew why suddenly my backups were failing to restore? I'd like to be able to flash back, backup certain app data and then reflash this rom so I can have my apps back..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Numzi:
Whenever I first boot up (after a reboot), this ROM runs fine and very smoothly. However after a little while, it starts to get laggy even if it was sleeping for a while. Do you think I should redownload and install? I have reflashed it twice and it doesn't seem to help.
