you get into safe mode by holding a button while its booting, not sure which one, but samdung phones have the buttons in the worst places, and ever since 4.1, android has hidden the developer options...just like currentuser said, tap 'build number' 7 times, then back out to general and you will see it there
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] philseven:
I tried that yesterday and couldn't make any phone calls or receive phone calls didn't work for me had to MC2

Continue Reading ....

jindelic, did you see this post? this is why I asked which Sprint apps you installed; YOU MUST INSTALL these sprint apps, I would recommend installing the apps found in this attached zip, just to be sure

Continue Reading ....

Thanks, that is why I asked which Sprint apps were selected, because some of them are necessary, I will let jlmancuso know that these are necessary and not bloat; he doesn't know because he is on a different carrier. It should be as simple as deleting a couple lines of code

Okay with all of this got everything working thanks guys
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] zachdees:
You must maually choose to install SprintDM and Syncmlsvc, as these are necessary to update your carrier profile, otherwise you will not have 3g/4gLTE, CDMA there isnt such thing as syncmlsvc in aroma to select. as of right now my phone doesnt get any data at all no cdma. whats the fix for this issue and aswell the wifi issue
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jindelic:
Zach, I got data running after all. Even if you select all under sprint, syncmlsvc is not an option, bet needs to be. What I did to get data back was, I downloaded the necessarysprintapp.zip from an earlier post. Un zipped this to my phone and manuelly clicked on and installed syncmlsvc and sprintinstaller.apk. rebooted and got data back. Installing sprintandroidextentions.apk caused it to force close on bootup. Not sure if that is truly needed but phone seems to be working perfectly fine now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jysinn:
I have to agree on the solution above. I came from Macks rom and I installed the Mc2 unroot stock then Odin root and installed this rim with Phil recovery. What I noticed also is everything went fine except that I had no data 3g/4G I had to install the 2 files above for things to work right....

Smooth rom just implement the above files...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Smidgers:
On 4.1 TW when I received a text message, a bubble would appear on the lock screen and I could slide those to open directly.

On this, the text messages appear in a quick view mode. However, every time I try to select it, I end up just existing the clock widget on the lock screen.

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I'm sure it's just me being dumb.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jindelic:
Swip down on the notification then click on the one you want to open.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Smidgers:
Thanks. I did know that. Was just wondering if it was possible to open it from the lock screen like before, not notification pull down. Definitely not an issue. Just informational :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] doubledragon5:
Ok I downloaded the necessary sprint app zip, tried to install in recovery and got aborted....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jindelic:
Unzip it with phone and manually install the apks. I used my files. Don't install sprintandroidextentions.apk as it forced closed on me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] doubledragon5:
Thanks. Also I downloade the prl wirte zip from diglibur thread and it doesn't show. He said type in a termimal emulator getprop ro.csc.sales_code and if it does not come back SPR then I have a bad rom.. It came back XAS... He said if it came back as anything else then I have a bad rom.. How do you fix this, reinatall again..

Manually installed and still no 3-4g Never mind a reboot and it now works
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chaz187:
Quick question how do you get rid of roaming indicator off?

Sent from my SPH-L900 using Xparent Green Tapatalk 2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Keithgordon:
Go to Settings>Device>Lock Screen>Clock widget options, and either turn the selector to on or off, whichever the case may be...

I will turn the Sprint apps into an update zip, those are system files, so they need to go into the /system/app directory, that is why the SAE force closed, i am very surprised the others didn't. Apparently SAE isn't necessary to get 3G/4G, but I remember it is a necessary file. You should use a root explorer or adb shell to push those into the right place, but I will make an update zip real quick

HERE IS THE ZIP TO INSTALL TO OBTAIN 3G/4G LTE/CDMA, just run this in recovery and it will install the necessary sprint apps and return you data profile, I will make sure this is fixed soon...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Redoing script shortly. 1.2.2 will remove almost all the options under sprint apps. Sorry being on cricket none of those apks make a difference with my service.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Keithgordon:
Its all good my my brother, I don't think anyone was diverted by it, I gotta get to work, so I wont be able to update the op...i should be able to mobile, nm

thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Smidgers:
Has anyone else been having issues with home button responsiveness?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jindelic:
Thought I noticed it but wasn't sure enough to question it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] na_tra:
Hi side question. Do I need to wipe everything including format the internal SD before I restore this rom? I am now original 4.3 root with KNOX disable. I was on this rom before switched back to original to test on something.

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Smidgers:
For now I've added a short cut on pie for home. But would def like to see it fixed (if it's more than the 2 of us)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] louiestl956:
Tap home button twice it might be set to s voice if when you tap twice s voice opens just go into settings and uncheck "open via home button" should speed up responsiveness

"Knowledge is Wisdom"
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] zachdees:
OK so i did exactly as instructed. Download zip file in previous post. Unzip and move to phone. Install both sprint apps sync and DM. And restart without touching any network settings. OK did that. After it restarted it pulled up the activation wpp just as a stock note 2 would to activate. So I wait like 5 minute and it says it failed to activate. I cannot get any data. Can there be a fix.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] wondabwoy:
Zachdees, go back to 1st post OP has a zip update for download that you MUST flash, via custom recovery, this worked for me, below is what to look for, it's called

"Necessary Sprint Apps Insaller"

:

You must maually choose to install SprintDM and Syncmlsvc, as these are necessary

to update your carrier profile, otherwise you will not have 3g/4gLTE, CDMA

Found Here:

Necessary Sprint Apps Installer
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] zachdees:
I had no clue I could flash that zip file
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Smidgers:
So far this seems to be effective. I don't use S Voice so that's not a big deal.

Would like Dev to keep it in mind though if it's a quick fix to function properly on future releases.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] zachdees:
as i stated in my previous post0 when i get to the setup screen handfree activation takes over and takes like 2 minuts to screw around during that time 4glte pops up by the time for that breif activation period and after the two minuts i get this error exactly error internal error 1500 and no data or anything. i did exactly as you said and no results. this rom is starting to depress me. not only this rom but pretty much every mk4 rom on this forum for the note 2 doesnt activate at all. what is the deal here. serously.

Cyanogenmod 4.4.2 has absolutely no problem with networks. it just lets u boot up and boom! you have data and 4g without any hassle

dont know what the problem is but its not my phone or network its definately the roms
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] 4lph4num3r1c:
@ Zachdees I were having the same problem til I used Billiards MC2 BACK TO STOCK ROM. I came from there to this and now everything is working again. You might try the same. Don't forget, you'll have to flash the the zip Keithgordon provided with the sprint files and the wifi fix with Odin once you get back here.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] twynn:
Problems Problems

I've been running original 1.2 for weeks since it first came out and it still works as well as any MK4 w/ Note 3 could. I'm all about "if it a'int broke don't fix it".
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Keithgordon:
[MENTION=4313514]zachdees[/MENTION], flash the mc2 back to stock unrooted with counter reset, the flash the MK4 Stock with Note 3, the first download link in the OP, as suggested by twynn, I promise you will be impressed, then if you choose, you can debloat it. There have been a couple small errors in the Aroma script, that need to be ironed out, then that will be the best way to install. If you like a Stock Note 2 with some really awesome note 3 additions, then the first link is it.

thanks for everyones' patience while we iron out the aroma bugs, I left the original installation link there while the kinks get ironed out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jindelic:
Just noticed that spen doesn't respond to pressure variances. I know this wasn't an issue on 1.2. Can anyone else confirm?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] doubledragon5:
Can we get a fix for the problem I listed on the previous post? I flashed digiblur PRL write function for MK4 and it doesn't work..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ianmb:
I posted the link for the very first 1.2 ROM and EVERYTHING WORKED. I have backed off because the problems posted I cannot fix. Find my db post of the ORIGINAL 1.2 ROM. Flash that AFTER WIPING CACHE/DALVIK, FORMAT INTERNAL SD AND FACTORY RESET...DO THIS 3X! THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DISRESPECT TO Keithgordon or jlmancuso. This ROM WAS AND IS BETTER OFF LEFT UNTOUCHED WITH 1.2. To many fixes and to many work around have left this ROM STUCK.

Wallet tap to pay doesn't work yet. It is a 4.3 issue...patience guys. The fixes DONT WORK. I HATE BEING THE BEARER OF BAD NEWS. PLEASE GIVE THESE GUYS A CHANCE TO FIX WHAT THEY CAN.

IF anyone wants the link to the OG 1.2 let me know because I've been on it for almost 3+ weeks and it is AWESOME.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] smashedixnay:
After you finishing setting up the rom on the last step where it installs/unistalls stuff you either want/don't want, how long does the next step take? Everytime I hit next it doesn't do anything and just freezes it seems like. The longest I let it sit was for about 5 minutes. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong or what's going on?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mmarks9156:
What is best way to backup internal storage before flashing 1.2.1? I know with TWRP you have this option not sure how to do it using Philz?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] philseven:
I don't understand all this bickering and negative attitudes. I think at one point we all get bored with the same stuff that's why we rooted are phones and have flashed different roms if you truly want a daily driver why bother tinkering with your phone at all? This is hobby and interest into what the devs think they could do better and share with us are mistakes being made of course it's a process. Know one was forced to update to the next rom. I know I wasn't one thing can say is that everyone is very helpful yeah since I have been on this rom and watch it grow and develop you can see people come in and ask the same question and don't want to even try and read through the post. This just like any other hobby you have to have time and patience and forgiveness. We can all go around and give opinions and whine and complain are you can help are move on. Just my two cents. And devs keep up the good work we are all human. Show me a person that doesn't make mistakes and I will show you GOD!!!!!

Peace
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ianmb:
Best way is to do it on a pc. All important files like the ones in Android/data and Android/obb(game files) and whatever you have in the Downloads folder. Also if your running Viper4android save that folder too...for your .irs convolver files.

ANDROID...A New Digital Revolution Of Incredible Developers
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mmarks9156:
Thanks ianmb
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] m4f1050:
I downloaded the first 1.2 (took like 5 hours to download, left overnight downloading. Flashed, haven't had any issues at all. PERIOD, daily driver, I get ridiculous awesome battery life, Im not touching mine or upgrading. Also a firm believer of "if it ain't broke don't fix it" I even installed Xposed and Wanam and did my tweaks (renamed PowerOn.ogg from XAS and turned off Alarm icon and camera shutter sound. And also the Carrier I put Galaxy Note 2.5 (LOL)

This ROM (orig. ver 1.2) is definitely a keeper!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mmarks9156:
+1 contemplating installing 1.2.1 :confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] m4f1050:
I would keep the orig. ver 1.2 and follow the thread until they get another stable release. My $0.02
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ianmb:
Just to reiterate what I said previously...Some things were botched and some things were fixed. Don't hesitate to discuss matters...just PLEASE be thankful for what was done and hopeful for those things still to come.

Now beam me up Scotty!

ANDROID...A New Digital Revolution Of Incredible Developers
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] na_tra:
I would like to thanks to: OP, IANMB, JLMANCUSO, LOUFORGIVENO, KAOS420 and everyone who are helping to make this rom better. Cant worry about all the critics because that will never stop coming. I keep coming back to the original v1.2 because it's very stable with Note 3 features. I like LORJAY too but I just dont like the themes of his FTW. His original deodex 4.3 are also excellent just minus the Note 3 features.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Keithgordon:
If you are running a Note 2 Phone with a Note 3 rom, you are going to find it difficult

If you installed using the second release of the Aroma installer, I would recommend installing the first download link in the OP, found here

I wish I could be more help, but I'm not familiar with the digblur PRL write function, but I can tell you, if you add these three lines to the top portion of build.prop it will fix it

ro.csc.sales_code=SPR

ril.sales_code=SPR

ro.carrier=Sprint
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jindelic:
Is mobile hotspot working on the 1.2 that you posted?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] 1999TL:
I'm having a problem responding to emails on my hotmail account. It keeps on saying "Retrieving account settings"

anybody have a solution to this? thanks in advance
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Smidgers:
I don't use Hotmail. However, I have Gmail, Yahoo, & Comcast and don't have problems with any of them through their apps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] 1999TL:
Using Gmail app works just fine for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ianmb:
Yes sir!

ANDROID...A New Digital Revolution Of Incredible Developers
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Well I have a new tester ready for those brave enough to try it. LOL!!

Prl write is included. Should have all sprint apks needed (ha sprint f-ed yall cause mine works fine without them). Uploading to Android file host now.

For those who have had issues.

I am sorry. Things have to evolve and there will be issues. While I have a few beta testers no one catches everything. If anything gives you issues there is only one thing I can promise. We will do everything we can to fix it (even if you act foolish/childish) in a timely manner.

For those who feel we are heading in the wrong direction.

No said you had to use anything.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] doubledragon5:
Hell I will test. Going to work so won't be home until maybe 10-11 PM
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Keithgordon:
here, flash this... then type getprop ro.csc.sales_code, or whatever it was.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Keithgordon:
It is pertinent to stay ON TOPIC in this thread.

If you have something that doesn't work, by all means PLEASE LET US KNOW!

We all know the original ROM works, that is why it always remains posted, the aroma is beta, though that my not have been made clear at all times.

We, jlmancuso, myself, ianmb, do this for you. we do it at our own expense, we haven't asked for donations or advise.

The thread is for rom development, not personal development, if you wish to criticize us, do it with Private Messages, its why we have that ability.

The original 1.2 rom works, has always worked and has always been available.

With that being said, lets move forward and share only what is pertinent to rom growth and development
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Stryke_the_Orc:
Pretty much this. Thread cleaned.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] smashedixnay:
EDIT: Finally got it on my card. Hope it works!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jindelic:
Clear space on you SD Card or try a different card?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] butwhydoitalk2u:
I just downloaded the 1.2.2. I wiped everything for my internal and tried to install the rom. I get to the end selecting only gmail, dropbox, kernal, chrome air. It completes but when i hit next it does nothing. It just hangs there. the only way to reset it is to pull the battery but when it boots back up it boots only to twrp. i am in the process of redownloading the rom again and downloading the rom without aroma.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] zachdees:
of so i managed to get the rom to work on 4g and 3g and all that by flashing the carrier fix it restores the data folder or somthing

but downsides is the rom eats battery like no tomarrow and wifi and wifi tether do not work at all

cyanogenmod l900 latest nightly works the very best for me and unless theres a fix for the batterylife and wifi tether im not supporting this rom or any mk4 roms
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Smidgers:
In my experience, this rom has great battery life. 24 hours if I'm using somewhat heavy. 48ish on light use.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] zachdees:
guess its just my phone then. still dont have wifi or wifi tether
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Did you flash the WiFi fix through Odin? It is required for any mk4 ROM to have working WiFi.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Keithgordon:
FOR BEST RESULTS USE Philz, touch recovery to install the rom, for some reason, and no one knows why, this rom does not install with TWRP. That is one of the reasons we started using Aroma, is hoping that would resolve the matter, fingers crossed
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] m4f1050:
Same here, I couldn't believe it when I came home with 64% battery left today and I did quite a few calls.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Keithgordon:
I think hotmail, live and other microsoft based emails require the microsoft exchange apk to be installed, but there might be another email app available from the Play Store

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jindelic:
Is there an updated version change log, that defined the difference between 1.2

1 beta and 1.2.2? I am still on 1.2.1 beta but notice some quirks, not sure worth to upgrade to 1.2.2.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Keithgordon:
What quirks are you talking about? The only version that is absolutely flawless I think, at this point is the Original (the slow, first downlload link in the OP) Random reboots and other like funny behaviors are common with the MK4 update, but then adding all the additional functions, it leaves very little room on the system partition as breathing room; that's why we decided to go with the Aroma installer, so people could debloat at will. The home button is a little unresponsive and I haven't figured that one out yet. Someone said that it is because it doubles as a shortcut to S-Voice, but I don't know where that setting is..

knowing what quirks you're talking about would really help, but as so stated, at this point we are still testing 1.2.2, so the most stable version is the Original...only for now...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] louforgiveno:
The svoice thing. .

Yeah that was me

...open svoice app and go to settings
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Smidgers:
Can confirm this works :) haven't had issues since
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jindelic:
Haven't had any random reboots it been solid the only quirks I am talking about are :

1: spen doesn't respond to pressure variance

2: voice mail doesnt setup with sprint " failed to communicate with sprint"

3: Font changes dont effect lockscreen time or weather widget time.

Like is said very minor. Otherwise 1.2.1 has been perfect for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
1. Not sure about

2. Most likely missing a file in the sprint debloat screen. Redone options in 1.2.2 to fix SPRINT related issues.

3. I have not tried font changes. Will look into that today on 1.2.2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Smidgers:
2 questions:

1) Is there a stand alone torch app preinstalled? The ability to turn it on via volume buttons is sweet, but at times, I want it to stay on (like when trying to fill my windshield washer fluid this morning lol)

2) Is there a way to turn off SPen removed notification? I had posted this in q&a and someone indicated they were on this rom and have it disabled, but I was unable to find the setting to turn it off.

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
I am looking into both of those. I did see your question in q&a and I am not sure what he did to get rid of it.

Right now the main focus is to get the aroma base working fully. Once that is done then the goodies will start. There are plans for smoothest themed wallpapers (the leather one in OP will end up being default) along with themes (add-ons from others work and one from the smooth team).

EDIT: I see about 90 downloads on 1.2.2. Everyone please give feedback on that version. I dont want to move on to other adds/mods/tweaks till I can get the current issues fixed.

Need feedback on....

1. Data (1x, 3g, 4g)

2. Profile updates properly

3. Prl write function works (##DATA#, under view option, Prl write)

4. wifi hotspot works

5. tap and pay (Not sure if anyone has this working)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Smidgers:
Everything I can find says Page Buddy should be under display settings. Am I looking in the wrong place?

Edit: Found Page Buddy Notif under app manager and turned that off. Icon gone :) does anyone know if that affects anything else?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] louforgiveno:
You just won't have the page buddy page when you plug in headphones. .remove spen etc.....I don't use those so no problem here. ...

***Btw a tap of the thanks button would be nice**
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Smidgers:
Oh, that annoying notification shortcut that was next on my list of things to disable? Perfect lol. Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] m4f1050:
For #1 I use Power Toggles from the Market and setup the widget. There is a little lightning icon (flash) that turns it on/off
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Smidgers:
Yep. I've used apps from the Market before. Was just curious if there was a native app since it can be triggered while the screen is off - Didn't want to duplicate existing functionality. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
#1 thru #4 seems to be working fine. #5 I'm not sure since I haven't tried using the tap and pay option.

Thanks again for all your team's time and commitment to developing an Awesome Rom.
