I had the same problem before and the only thing I could find that got mine to work again was going back to stock and starting over.

---------- Post added at 04:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:22 PM ----------

LOL I never thought about that. It would have saved me so much time. Oh well I guess next time I need to do it I will. With this rom though I don't think I will be switching to anything else other than flash the update that they will most likely be putting out in the future.

---------- Post added at 04:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:26 PM ----------

Mine auto updated but like I said before I went straight stock rotted and un-locked bootloader before I came to this.

I have the known issues like no air command etc. My major concern is something that just started happening. My contacts are freezing my phone on occasion and once I needed a battery pull. Anyone else having this problem? I am running you mail but I turned off you mail sync and still is happening. :-\

bluetooth share fc

Hey guys, first off DOPE ROM! Best I have tried so far and is my DD...

I started having an odd issue when I started using this rom with my bluetooth in my vehicle...it will sync and then after like 30 seconds it FC and says Bluetooth share has stopped unexpectedly...it syncs again and then same FC...I have searched and searched reflashed rom wiped everything internally etc...still no go..Any help is much appreciated!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skilover:
Interestingly, I'm NOT unknown to them -- I used L'8/Deck's prior rom, and they know me from that.

Regarding the above, I did have What's app (not the other two), deleted it, and still have the problem. The puzzling thing to me is we have 100's of posts on something completely peripheral to the usability of the phone, namely air command, but can generate no interest in solving a very critical problem, namely the inability to use Contacts.

I tried deleting the contacts data base and re-syncing with Google; interestingly, it seems if there are not too many contacts yet synced it works, but as more sync up, it stops working. I have about 3,500 contacts; however, this has never been an issue before--I had a different 4.3 rom and contacts worked just fine, with the same contact database. The fact that a third party app (Go Contacts) works fine says the data itself is also OK. Something is going on with the built in Contacts app.

If someone can explain how I can replace an apk. in the system folder with another apk. (given the Odex files), then I could Contacts.apk from another rom to see if it then works, but I cannot seem to figure out how to do this on an Odexed rom. I've never dealt with an Odexed custom rom before.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jpierce:
Weird. I use Bluetooth for streaming music to external speaker and my galaxy gear at the same time with no issues at all everyday at work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skilover:
L'8, I fully admit to ignorance regarding Odexed roms; each file in the system folder comes with it's own Odex file. If I get another SecContacts.apk file from a deodexed rom, which is all of them, where do I get it's accompanying .odex file from? My understanding is, the .odex files are mated to each particular .apk, so if I replace the .apk, I have to replace the .odex as well. The SecContacts.apk files I have do not have .odex files, thus I'm at a loss. I tried renaming the existing SecContacts.apk, and it's .odex file, then just putting in another SecContacts.apk with no .odex file at all, and it didn't work. If you would explain to me HOW to substitute in another contacts.apk file, I will do it. I also would put in another phone.apk file at the same time, as they seem closely tied together, and I have a problem with the phone as well, namely if I make the call, I cannot use the "join call" feature (I can if I receive the call, however). The file I used was lifted from a 4.3 rom, so I'm pretty sure it was a 4.3 contacts app.

I do not mean in any way to be critical, and I'm not the one that said if we aren't know we are ignored--that was someone responding to my post. Further, I am known to you, from your prior rom. :) In my initial post on this topic I led by saying that you all do this for free, and for that I, and everyone else, are grateful. I'm aware for most people Contacts isn't a problem--I think it's related to the size of the contacts file, for which I have no explanation.

Otherwise, the rom is amazingly stable--my GPS even worked right from the start.

NOTE TO L'8: I tried again with the sec contacts.apk file from Nephilim rom, and again it f/c immediately. I'm told you can just remove the seccontacts.odex file and replace the seccontacts.apk, and it should work. I will try downloading a stock odexed sec contacts.apk and see how that goes. The contacts file you provided also f/c, but not right away like the one from Nephilim. Nephilim is definitely 4.3, so I don't know what the issue is.

Since are all giving our opinions on recoveries, let me comment on my experiences. TWRP has been nothing short of flawless for me with the installation of any ROM. I haven't experienced any reboots or forced closes. So you have to ask yourself is it TWRP, or is it something else.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chiefsfan69:
Deck and L18 Thank you for this. No doubt the best rom I've used since transnebula and moon. . You guys are studs..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mailjasons:
just a quick reply to this, while i love TWRP (i really do!), there have been 2 ROM's that i was not able to get passed a boot-loop without using a different recovery. this ROM is one of those. i had to switch from TWRP to get past the Verizon logo, back in the earlier pages of this thread, that exact issue is discussed.:fingers-crossed:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lifeofanomad:
So after many many wipes with CWM, TWRP, and Philz, I still have no air command, other than that, this is an awesome rom! A big thank you to the devs! Gonna donate ASAP!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] monkeyass408:
try these

1) unzip their nebula zipped file and rezip it.

2) try to take the sd card out and load it through comp on a media reader. Make sure you safely eject the card.

I personally did option number 1 and then after zip file never fails to result in a good spen air command function.

Try both options if you cant get it to work.

Then go to settings and in motions and gestures turn on air view and air command

Good Luck.

Ps: i use philz because that one installs the internal sd correctly (data/media/0). I upgrade to twrp newest and it does not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jcip17:
It wasn't working for me either when I first installed. I think it's mentioned in the beginning of the thread. Here's what I did. I turned off air command and air view in the tabbed settings then booted into recovery (I use Philz), don't wipe anything in the recovery, installed the rom with the data wipe option in aroma, rebooted went to settings then check air command and it worked ever since. Good luck!

Did you try clear cache for the play store app?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] puritan007:
this is the issue I was stating, I could not download, the solution was to take my sd card OUT when I first booted the freshly installed rom. Once the rom was booted for teh first time and set up complete, I put my sd card back in and those problems were gone. I had crashing Gallery, and I was unable to download NO SD CARD, and NOT ENOUGH MEMORY errors.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lifeofanomad:
So I did both options and it worked man.. thanks a lot!

MinorFixV1 UI bug

I did a search and didn't find anything but in case you weren't aware flashing the GPS Fix (MinorFixV1.zip) from OP will break the Note 3 White UI styling that are in your screenshots (semi-transparent notification pull-down). It goes back to the standard black.

Is there another version of that fix where it won't break the beautiful theme that you developed?

Great ROM by the way! I absolutely love it, no reboots and no other issues for me other than this!

EDIT: Nevermind. This is well known. Derp.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Please use the search..and search for a .exe or script that will deodexed a rom for you..Then you will be able to swap contacts.. good luck

I installed dialer and contacts from the app store and that shows my contacts fine. I was going to try the Kitkat dialer next to see if that wouldn't help.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] danaff37:
You can mix odex and de odex in system/app fine. He probably just needed to delete the odex file to get the other contacts apk to work.

Where you can't mix odex is in system/framework. That will boot loop you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WarlockLord:
I replaced systemui in the fix zip with the one from the original Rom zip to get the white theme back. Only caveat is the gps icon isn't right and shows the mobile hotspot icon when trying to get a fix.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JeramyEggs:
I have never done this with a rom with an aroma installer, does this affect anything?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dtroup64:
Very difficult for me to admit, as I've been flashing roms sometimes twice a day, and have been going back and forth from MIUI V5 to AOSP to TW since I got this phone and before that with my Droid X...

I think this has satiated me. It truly does everything I want in my phone!

Thanks folks. Waiting for paycheck and donations coming for sure. (If I don't wait, my wife will throw this Note 2 out the window...)

[MENTION=802570]Skilover[/MENTION] if you figure this out please let me know. I removed all my contacts except for two, removed account, cleared data, rebootedt, re-added, and still having the same contacts issue. Next I'm going to try migrating all my contacts to google ... I still wonder if we have some app installed that FUBAR'ing exchange contacts. I haven't done anything or installed anything to this ROM I didn't do to Beans' "Official" so I presume there's some kind of interaction happening but I'm running out of ideas.

Deuce booted Note 2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dricacho:
Prior to the official release of 4.3, I was on Slim ROM 4.4.2 beta 2. It wouldn't even boot after flashing on the latest version of TWRP. I had been using TWRP since day one of G Note 2 useage w/o issues prior to the Slim ROM 4.4.2. I switched to CWM 6.0.4.3 and reflashed the ROM and everything was great. I was able to daily this ROM and have had very little issues. Then when I flashed N3bula on CWM, same result, no issues whatsoever.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] james873:
Found a theme that seems to be working for the most part. Only thing I've found so far is Samsung keyboard fc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skilover:
I thought of that, but figured the rom is Odexed for a reason, and didn't want to screw it up. As I've noted, this is the first time I've ever installed an Odexed custom rom, and I assume you have your reasons.

Regarding a subsequent post that in the apps file you can mix odes an deodex, I've read that elsewhere. That's why I'm planning to download another contacts app and try again. Maybe there's something about the one from the particular rom I borrowed it from, I don't know. It's definitely 4.3, that I do know. Maybe I have to take both phone and contacts together, I didn't try that, figuring I'd get contacts working first, but on reflection, perhaps they need to stay together. I also found an app that will allow me to Odex a deodexed app--that's another approach, rather than deodexing the entire rom. However, as I said, I get the sense that's not necessary.

Given how central in importance contacts is to the entire phone, any assistance you can render will be appreciated. Evidently there are only a handful of people with this issue, but it's not just me either.

I'll try some other versions of sec contacts.apk and also see if it helps to do sec phone.apk at the same time.

Thanks!!

---------- Post added at 12:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:41 PM ----------

Thanks! I've read that as well. When I tried that it didn't work, but it's entirely possible that's because the particular sec contacts.apk didn't work, or because I needed to do sec phone at the same time. I'll try some alternatives. I do have an app that will Odex files if need be.

I used the latest TWRP and had no issues with this rom. followed the install instructions to the letter in the OP and.. loving ever minute of this rom so far.

as for the Sen button in the text app.. I use handscent or hangouts mostly so its a moot point for me.

I will certainly let everyone know. I'm pretty persistent, :) I had the same apps on a different 4.3 rom, and contacts was working fine, even though the rom overall was not even close to this good. There is something internal to this rom, or to the particular contacts/phone apk. being used.

I dirty flashed this ROM over my previous, which was sophisticated v2.0 just to get the core of this ROM installed. After that I tried to fire up the ROM, knowing that I needed to perform a factory reset before everything would boot up nicely (without error). After attempting to fire of the dirty flashed ROM, I went into TWRP recovery and executed a couple of factory resets to truly make this a fresh install. Since then, I've booted this ROM with everything working, including air commands.

After you flash, open new Internet it will sign into your Google account. Then make sure you have internet set to sync in your sync settings. You should then have your bookmarks sync. You'll have to use the flashed Android browser ( Additional Internet app(which unfortunately doesn't support smart scroll)). The Internet with rom is Samsung & won't sync Google bookmarks.
