[Nexus 5 General] electric0ant:
ifixit undoubtedly has the best teardown guides, but when they said that the nexus 5 front panel is a "fused flustercluck" that really bugged me.

To be honest i think their style has changed from when they first started, now the teardown guides seem to make a few too many jokes and links to irrelevant stuff. I'm not a huge fan of this, but I'm holding that against them as everyone has their own style.

But saying that the N5 front panle is a fused flustercluck just bugged me when they are perfectly happy to try melting the glue on the ipads and ipod touches to get into them, but not try that on the nexus 5. They even specifically sell the "iOpener" (basically an overpriced microwave heatable beanbag thingy) for situations like this. Not trying is what annoyed me.

So I set out to try myself!

I bought a whole front panel assembly with screen.

Now i don't have one of their heated beanbags so i just stuck the whole thing in the oven at a low temperature. 40C pretty much did nothing (as expected) so then i set it at 70C and heated the whole thing until it was toasty (15 mins).

Using a suction cup on the glass did nothing, then i noticed that I could see the back of the screen through the slits which the rear cover clips onto. So i started pushing at it with a plastic spudger, (the ifixit one fits perfectly).

I saw that that glass was coming away from the case, and careful pushing gave me a big enough gap to slip a guitar pick in. pushing at the other slits and running the guitar pick around the screen came off relatively easily.

One thing about the gorilla glass 3, it was pretty flexible, i was seriously concerned that i was going to crack the glass! it seemed to flex more than the sgp glass protectors i used before.

The glue is only around the edge of the screen which made it easier, I was worried that the whole back of the screen would be glued as well, but its just a foam pad.

Popped the back off my nexus 5 and attached the ribbon cable for the now separated screen just to make sure its all working and it is!

So here we are, the front panel is not a "fused flustercluck" as ifixit says, but can be easily separated. Even easier if the screen is damaged so you don't need to worry about keeping the screen in one piece.

ifixit gave the nexus 5 a negative point on this:

The glass and LCD are fused to the display frame. Fixing broken glass will be either expensive or very difficult.

But in all honesty, since the difference for just the glass and screen and the whole front panel (including the screen) is so small, it makes no sense to take the hassle of replacing just the screen, and also since most failures are going to be physical damage resulting from dropping the bezel will likely be damaged too, and just makes more sense to replace the whole thing.

Dude! Why? Can you please send me some of the cash you've got lying around?

[Nexus 5 General] FuMMoD:
Damn that looks really cool. Thanks for the information, it's actually very useful.
[Nexus 5 General] squeeish:
Pictures are down for me at this time.

But kudos for the effort. Maybe ifixit should see this and revise their teardown.
[Nexus 5 General] electric0ant:
LOL

I am actually doing a custom mod on the nexus 5 which requires the screen and front assembly/bezel to be separate.

I managed to find the screen only without the front assembly/bezel but not just the assembly/bezel itself so I went this route of separating it myself.

I have updated the links for the photos now, hopefully this site is more reliable!

I wouldn't mind if someone linked this page to ifixit.:p
[Nexus 5 General] bblzd:
The pics with the detached screen still working are priceless.
[Nexus 5 General] grisoxxl:
When you finish modification share with us the result.
[Nexus 5 General] davwman:
Wait...what mod?:what:
[Nexus 5 General] knapz:
+1

What is this custom mod that you speak of?
[Nexus 5 General] electric0ant:
All I can say is that it's quite an ambitious mod (for me anyway).

I will definitely let you guys know once I complete it, but it all depended on me being able to separate the screen from the bezel and that worked, so all lights are green!

I just need to source equipment and parts, but with the holidays coming up It likely won;t be until mid-late jan until I will finish this.

Flashable Add-ons/Re-bloat

I have tested most of these Apps but not all some might not function properly or maybe they will Try it and find out.

Please always make a backup before trying the Note 3 and S4 apps

​

You Must Copy the Seclauncher3.apk to your ExtSdcard then use a Root File Explorer set to R/W and copy the Seclauncher3.apk and go to the system/app and look for Seclauncher2.apk and rename it to Seclauncher2.apk.bak and then paste the SecLauncher3.apk in the same system/app folder at the same time!

Then reboot So the changes can take Effect.

These are not Flashables

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bama17:
When it's like that u jus have to keep trying different mirrors that are under the download button on the page. I was getting only 100-200kb on all of em til one came open that's giving me 2-3Mbps now. I'll post one if I can get it uploaded to my Dropbox tonite in case I or anyone else may need it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ma$etas:
Anyone that has there phone flashed to page plus or straight talk running this? If so does everything work right?

Really want to flash this
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bama17:
No nothing special. I've never had a prob with Wanam on any Rom unless I jus forgot to reboot after changing something, or got a new version of Xposed and forgot to update it again. There's a few things in there that are device specific too tho so watch out for that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] asacado:
Third times the charm. This rom lacks wifi tether doesn't it? Shucks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] njmeyers83:
i wiped and wiped and wiped and it installed like nothing but a reboot had occurred. All the apps wallpaper everything. The build # changed and the framework app asked for su permission but everything else is the same from the stock deodexed Bean rom. Kind of worries me. Not even so much as a factory reset took place......?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ROB281:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dalrym05:
Just installed this rom and has been good so far although what's this emulated section I'm seeing in my root explorer. Seems like files have been moved around and i can't restore launcher backups or titanium backup backups. How do i fix this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] THEbigSWEEN:
This is the file system structure of 4.3. All internal SD items should be in either SD Card 0 or in data/media/0. You may need to change where the apps are looking for the backup like with TiBu I had to re-select the folder to use for stored back ups.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nsmac84:
Well I want to try this rom out but when I try to do a backup in twrp it says insufficient memory due to internal storage being shown different (0 legacy emulated etc...) any suggestions would be helpful please.

Sent from my awesome Note 2!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] THEbigSWEEN:
I always switch the output so it does all my back ups to EXT SD. When you click back up I think it's up at the top it says internal storage and you click that and select EXT. That way if you ever do have to wipe internal (which seems to help starting out on 4.3 TW) you don't have to worry about losing any nandroids. If you do wipe internal make sure to transfer anything you might need to EXT SD prior to doing so.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nsmac84:
OK thanks I didn't know I could backup to sd.

Sent from my awesome Note 2!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dalrym05:
Call me dumb. So moved on from the file system deal and just starting fresh. My titanium backups are no longer on the phone. Oh well. Now. How do i get Wanamaker exposed to work. It opens. I can click and check stuff all day says reboot nothing happens. No changes. It has root rights. Did I miss something. I remember exactly posed modules I had to do a quick flash of something. And this Wanamaker which I have never used doesn't seem to have that or I don't know confused. I don't mess with this stuff enough anymore.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jcollier:
Make sure the Wanam module is activated in Xposed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hopesrequiem:
I was skeptical to test this but wow its running fast. Only time will tell. Will run this for a while. Nice job davidson
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] brentsten:
Anyone use the "screen standby" app?

It "turns off" the lcd while mirroring to save battery, but doesn't seem to be working on this rom or rom beans posted. The screen doesn't dim and it freezes during setup when checking for root and busybox (I have both).

Not sure if this is app or rom related, but it worked fine on the beans 4.1.2 rom.

EDIT: after looking up reviews in the play store, it seems to be app related with all 4.3 roms
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] NXLTrauma25:
No. Flash the firmware package in Odin. Flash the Rom using recovery.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] opalelement:
Wanted to give the ROM a try while I was out and not at a PC, figured I could just do without the WiFi so I installed the ROM using CWM, data worked but WiFi did not (just as I expected). However when I restored the CWM backup that I made (CM11) I have no mobile connection. The icon in Quick Toggles says NO SERVICE and the status bar just shows the empty ramp/triangle. Does the flashable zip alone replace anything like the radio that would cause this type of issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] michigan66:
Are you on the east coast? Verizon had a major outage today.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] opalelement:
Nope, southwest Missouri. I know it isn't an outage as my wife also has a VZW Note II running Beans 22 and she has no issues (I was actually tethering off of her hotspot when we went to Walmart for a bit)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] opalelement:
Decided that rather on relying on everyone here to fix an issue I caused, I would just look at it myself.

I looked at the ROM zip file and saw that the updater-script only moves over the new boot.IMG, /system, and /data (which is empty) and then changes permissions only on /system and /data. I don't really know what boot.img is (I think it is the kernel and associated files, but I could be wrong) but my CWM backup has a backed-up boot.IMG so I figured that wasn't causing the issues.

I then decided to try to narrow down which partition was causing the issue. I wiped cache and data and rebooted, but the mobile connection still didn't work. I then wiped the dalvik cache and reflashed the zip for CM11 and tested it and the mobile connection worked, so it was either the dalvik cache (which I don't know much about) or the /system partition.

I then kept the flash I had just done and did an advanced restore of my data partition and I am back to normal.

Based on the recovery logs, I think I might know what happened... I recently switched to CWM from TWRP only to test a very early build of KitKat that would not have data without using the latest CWM. In TWRP, any time you restore a partition, it automatically formats that partition first. Because of this, I got into the habit of simply restoring a backup without wiping when I had been testing a ROM, as restoring the backup wiped everything first for me. However, looking at the recovery log, it appears that it did not log a format before restoring a backup. I am not sure if it really did format without logging or if CWM doesn't format the partition first, but if it doesn't format then that would likely have been the cause of my problem.

TL;DR: I fixed the issue, and it was likely because of my unfamiliarity with CWM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dawiseguy77:
Just want to put in my two cents from my experience. I started with version 1 and it was flawless for me I then flashes version 2 of course wiping everything prior and everything would force close I had a couple reboots, And was getting error android has stopped running when trying to open web links it would not let me choose what browser I wanted to use to open the link. I the switched back to my version 1 backup and again it is flawless. I don't know what changed between 1 and 2 bit version 1 is running like a champ. Hopefully this little tidbit helps with upcoming versions. I was using philz cwm recovery when flashing and wiping.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Lodingi:
Hmm. I used Odin to flash the modem. It flashed successfully. When I reboot into recovery, the phone gets stuck at the Note 2 screen. Any advice?

Is there any way to do this Odin thing with a Mac?

Also, I don't quite understand what we have to do in Odin. Do we need to somehow flash back to stock, and then flash the new modem, or do we just run this package and it does what we need all at once?

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] phillthedrill:
I'm a little confused since I already have the Jedi custom Rom going, do I still need to do Odin first? I know I've always heard if you're rooted to never do Odin but only CWM or Teamwin recovery, so I wasn't sure. If I am supposed to do Odin, am I to understand I'm supposed to do the Odin factory restore thing first and then the Jellywiz zip in TeamWin?

-Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] brandonhatty:
Wipe then flash the rom with whatever recovery you choose. Then you only have to flash the mj9 baseband to make everything work. Flash the tar in the pda section and don't touch anything else. Only takes a few seconds.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] phillthedrill:
Ok cool, thank you! I appreciate it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] SchefMarcus:
So i did things a little differently, probably stupider, but it is what it is. I first DL Odin with the rest of the .zip and made sure that it recognized the .tar file, as it hasn't in the past, copied (and pasted) the ROM onto my phone. Turned off phone, entered into recovery, first deleted dalvik, then cache, then factory wipe, then i formatted everything. Tuned off phone (all the while odin is up and ready to go with the .tar in the pda section) and entered DL mode. Plugged phone into computer, did the Odin thing and it restarted. When it restarted, it stayed on the splash screen, not moving waited about 10 min., then pulled battery, entered recovery mode, went through the same deletes as before, then installed the new ROM, ROM installed correctly, restarted (oh, im doing this with CWM btw) and now it's on the activation screen, still activating. I'm gunna wait a little bit then pull the battery and restart phone. I dont know if this'll help anyone, but it might, or maybe someone can tell me if their activation took forever too!

*edit*

Just restarted it by doing a battery pull and it went to the language menu, i hit English, and now it's still activating. I'm gunna let it sit here for a while, then do another fresh install. Unless anyone has a better idea.

*edit*

I've resorted to calling Verizon; i feel dirty.

*Edit*

Redid the Odin flash and everything works great!

*Edit*

Rebooted into recovery mode; just reflashed cache and factory restore this time; fresh install of ROM. Installed correctly; rebooted system into ROM; booted up great; and the big answer.....it activated in less than a second!

Sorry for all the edits, i just wanna make sure my stupidity helps others and wanted to list everything i did step-by-step
