[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ADude:
Okay, thanks.

One other question occurs to me:

The reason I picked the T889 T-Mobile variant is that I use T-Mobile's network, and T-Mobile uses AWS/HSPA bands that are different from the 3G bands used by AT&T.

Does DN4 installation overwrite support for the unique T-Mobile bands, or is that in a different area that is not usually flashed ?

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
No Dn4 don't overwrite the tmo bands. And you're using a tmo sim so it's not going to affect you. If you were using a att sim in a tmo then it's different. You'd have to do the Aws mod to activate it.

Now concerning the S-pen use with the back button. You can turn on side panel key, move it somewhere you prefer on the screen and your done. I'm a heavy S-pen user myself, but I use the old lmt for the back key set-up.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
Yes your right they can do that to. You know I try to make it simple fix for them. I forgot about that, too much 4th activities

The OP says:

I have been reading the thread from the point where 2.2 LTE was made available (around mid April) until now.

I think there would be less posts of "My ____ no longer works" if step 6 were clarified and made more emphatic. For one thing, the wording does not correspond to anything in the current TWRP.

So, to be positive, here is a suggested wording:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
While I agree that everything you wrote up in Step 6 is spot on, everything you wrote should be standard SOP for any flash.

If you don't do any of them. It's on you. If you miss one of them or do one of them accidentally (like Wipe External SD). It's on you.

While it is helpful to have all that info in the OP page. Devs have no responsibility or requirement to do so.

It should be a reasonable expectation that if someone is flashing something you have make, they have an idea of what the hell they are doing.

It's a live and learn gig. I've bricked my phone so many times I've lost count. But it still lives.

Because I searched for a solution and figured it out. Not a lot of that going on anymore in XDA.

Its flash, damn my sh*t is broke, HELP !

That's why the links in my signature are PURE GOLD.

End rant.....

I do think changing OP page with your write up is a good thing though. I think what's there is an option for Philz recovery.

End 2 cents submission
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ADude:
I was not implying that Devs have any responsibility to give those details, I was just saying that those who answer questions might save themselves time spent answering questions generated by a "dirty flash". It also then allows more attention for those with real problems with the ROM.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
Not saying you were Dude. What you wrote was perfect. It would indeed help.

I just saying why it's not usually included.

Hell, honestly 70-80% of the time, it would not get read anyways.

That's why the same questions pop up in threads all the time.....

Nice find on the SDcard. Reminding me I need to back up my 32 and replace it with the 64 I bought months ago.

I will add your write up for step 6 when I get time OK. Thanks

Look at [MENTION=2918361]dicksteele[/MENTION] post 80-90% skip right over the Op. There's only a few who actually take the time out too check it. And there's those who read thru the thread to find answers to their problems. Like you did ? to you .. Most just pop in and ask ??.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] NovaxxBite:
no only stock for a few days then i installed this once i got my rooting files together...

maps will either take awhile to load or would pin me somewhere ive been hours ago

battery just takes seems to charge up by 1% every 10mins but before it'd be fully charged in an hour...and i dont charge my phone often because i like to let it die before i charge it at night.

i got this phone from Tmobile as a replacement for my stolen S4

should i wipe and do a clean reinstall?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
The charging issue is either cable/microusb port or kernel related it can't be the the rom. You can try an app like this

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.fastergps

to see if it helps with gps

Any luck,barabasy ? I have the Canadian SGH-i317M (on Bell) and have the same issue (no voicemail notification). Although I don't use voicemail that much, so don't really miss it, with this fixed DN4 would be perfect! ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] meplur:
Could be your charger or charging cable. You can check it with this app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ADude:
Hi !

This is not a complaint, just trying to understand what is going on with this issue.

Everything is fine on my install of DN4 (latest, i.e."2.2.6"), except that the first time that I received a call, I had this same issue with "gesture service".

So, I searched this thread, and the issue has been reported many times, going back to the January report quoted above.

I can freeze gesture service.... but ... to quote Rex: "What is it ?" One would think that some sort of gesture functionality will be missing if you stop it. So, I googled it... and the first result is a thread about DN4 from November, with more people reporting the same problem.

I noticed that Note 3 added a "gesture sensor" not found on Note 2, so perhaps the gesture service looks for input from the gesture sensor - and never finds it because the Note 2 does not have one. This might explain why we don't see any reports of loss of some functionality when gesture service is stopped.

But it still leaves open the question of what is missing due to not having a "gesture sensor".

One Note 4 review states " The IR gesture sensor of the Note 3 is gone as the Note 4 doesn't have the air gestures..."

So is the "gesture service" left over from DN3 ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
It's not leftover from DN3. This is a port of the Touchwiz 4.4.4 for the S3, GT-I9300. Which had it.

So deleting Gesture-Service also will remove that message during calls.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ADude:
A google search seems to indicate that Air Gestures and the Gesture Sensor were introduced with the S4.

Again, as I mentioned in the previous post, the question is what is missing due to not having a "gesture sensor", and what the "gesture service" actually does (not how to workaround the problem, which has been repeated many times).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
Asian S3's also got S4 features

http://www.ibtimes.com.au/samsung-g...-i9300-gt-i9305-gets-first-galaxy-s4-features

I'll let someone else answer your questions if anyone knows....

Because ...

1. I don't know specifically which features are affected.

2. Don't use any of them, so have never cared.

The workaround was good enough for me.

But if I remember correctly it's any of the air swiping functions. Because of the lack of IR sensors I believe.

I may be wrong.... Going from memory from reading old posts...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
I'm with [MENTION=2918361]dicksteele[/MENTION]^^^^ on this one! My question is what is the fascination in the gesture service? Why are you trying to make something work on a older device that has none of the hardware for it?

And I highly doubt we're missing something on a phone that never had it in the first place.

If you really want to use a gesture service or something similar try this here>>>

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phoenixstudios.aiogestures

Just know that it keeps the proximity sensor on to use it. Meaning it will affect the battery constantly having it activated. I've used something similar on a different rom, and I deleted it after trying it for a few days.

My 2¢®...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ADude:
Thanks for your reply.

I'm not trying to make something work, I'm just trying to find out what the "gesture service" was originally designed to do. (I added some speculation as a basis for discussion.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
If I'm not mistaken it was ment to answer the phone call by waving your hand. But the N2 is missing the hardware support for it to work. Hope that helps your curiosity...?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
Gesture control uses the infrared sensor on the n3 if i remember correctly and we don't have infrared. You could answer calls scroll text things like that
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ADude:
Okay, thanks.

So then why not remove gestureservice.apk from DN4, which would save endless questions (and prevent people from getting FCs)? It would also make the install smaller (which was one of the goals of the development process to make it fit on all variants).

I would have thought that would have occurred when you posted about the gesture service FC in November:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
This is the last of the gesture talk ok. It's becoming useless clutter now. And Tbh your the only one really curious about it. ?

If you have any other problems please let us know so we can assist you.

Fyi since you just got here. When testing Dn4 b4 it was released. We never once got one gesture service stopped pop-up wonder why.. .. And it wasn't included in Dn4 so you know! Some got the pop-up and some didn't which says a lot.

Dn4 2.2 was released in April [4/27/15] to be exact! Now you have all the info you need to know.

Btw...this Rom fits on all the lte N2 series so not sure what you mean about making it fit. We removed and added what we needed to!

The preventing people from posting about isn't going to happen. Even if it was posted in the Op with a font size of 15. They'd still ask!!

WHY because most people don't even bother to read it in the first place. They pop in and just ask

Trust me when u tell you this, I've been seeing it for too long.

Have a great day sir...

Bajan ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
1. Because we are human and make mistakes, we would have to change all the download links if we update it.

2. Check mine and bajanmans profile, neither of us are devs and neither of us had ever released a rom before dn3. We are just 2 normal users who tried to do it ourselves as no one else was. If you only knew the amount of trial and error flashes everyone involved did to get it working haha. Everyone involved has learnt a lot along the way, I'm even doing smali edits now but at the end of the day we are still just normal users not devs
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
+1 [MENTION=1097804]sawdoctor[/MENTION] ?

I really don't understand why they're so fascinated about this gesture service. Another thing to note they mentioned a November release date. Which he's talking about the add-on patch rom. I'm dropping the subject from here on out. Unless someone has a problem that needs fixing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
The November release date is when the eteam originally released it lol. Tge patch was released in Jan then the rom was finally ported properly about April I think
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
Yes sounds correct to me?. Thank you doc..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
That's what I was going to add. It never showed up for you all during testing.... I received it a few times not every time which was odd. But implementing the fix, fixed it.

The file is only 30k. Not a major file size to really affect the size of the system partition....

Done also.....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] snake65:
Hey about the gesture servi....... nahhhh just jokes,great job,quick one mine was slowing a bit over the past week I just cleared cache and dalvik. Now good as new.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ADude:
Okay, enough about G..... :) ( actually it was the primary focus of Samsung's multi-million dollar ad campaign which featured a guy whose hands were covered with BBQ sauce and he answers his Galaxy (S4 ?) with a wave of his hand.... but in XDA, anything that uses battery is unpopular :) ... and I was just curious about the issue, that's all.)

Anyway, in the official DN3 post, it gives a link to Optical Reader which looks useful:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2580317

Is there any reason this would not work on DN4 ROM ? (on T-Mobile T889) ?

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
Not enough system room for the optical reader. As you need 75mb for it to work. You can try adding it to your system.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ADude:
In the old Gingerbread days, people used to re-partition their internal RAM (to make more or less system space) - is that feasible on Galaxy phones ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
I found a later one from S5. What are you looking for it to do?

Testing it out now.... Using FM
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
With libs flashable is 40k. But I also added in the SnapBizCard.apk

I need to check if libs are already included in DN4. I think a couple are.

I jammed the apps in /data/app and they work fine. Took pics of business cards. SnapBizcard.apk works great.

Don't remember where I got it.

Just found Optical reader and Snapbiz from Note 4. Trying that now.

I'm a dumb ass.... Rechecking size
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
Ok. Lmk.

Question do it work the same add the one from DN3? Where you can hover over a word and it would give you the definition.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
Still messing with it.... I use it mostly for business cards...

Here's where I got Optical libs. Include barcode lib, etc.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/3g2l993ethcr8nt/Optical Reader.zip

Here's where I got snapbizcard and updated reader.

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-3/themes-apps/geonews-montblac-content-snapbizcard-t3041731

I have Samsung Galaxy Apps loaded and Optical reader updated to newest version and still works.

It definitely needs lots of light to recognize anything.

With the libs from the first link, and the apps from second link loaded in a flashable under /data/app. Flashable file size is 28 MB

4 MB gets put under /system/lib

I think I'm going to need a better ocr.lib. Let me know how it works for you. I'm not getting the hover over a word deal either
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
Ok thanks.

I'll download the files and have a play with it on my tmo. Let you know if it works
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
Looks like I rushed it a little....

There's more files in the 70MB optical reader zip..

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
Lol. Sounds like the same size as the other zip. You might just want to try that one ? ?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
I'm thinking you might be getting low charge current. Like your charging from the usb. It's either 2 things the cable needs changing. Or re install Agni again and see if the problem fixes itself. Also try this app bellow to see what mAh rate your phone is charging at.

Second, I might not have read back far enough (probably the next page, looked at alot) but trying to OTA to the 2.4 download when I get to about 16.3% the download goes into spasm saying wait while trying to connect (something like that) and just keeps blinking back and forth. I know I am missing a step or something to complete the download. Any help is greatly appreciated. Sorry if I am repeating a prior post.
