How to do clean install but not lose data?

I'm going to d/l and install the new version as soon as I have a chance, but I want to be sure I don't lose data from my installed apps. Before I installed V1 (via TWRP 2.6.3.1), I did a full backup of all my apps using TitaniumBackup, but when I tried to restore from those backups after the install, they failed. I believe that's because of the location move of the internal SD memory block).

I want to be sure that when I do a clean install of V2 I don't lose everything again. So what is the correct way to do a backup before the install and a restore afterward?

Thanks!

Does anyone know the difference between the options in the Aroma installer for the 2 weather widgets? I think one was called transparent white and the other was transparent black?

Does someone have a screen shot of the black version? I am just curious what the difference is...

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
They are the same but one has black text.. so all the white text is turned black give me one sec for a screenie
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Edboyce3:
If you make a Titanium Backup of V1 and do a clean install of V2 you should do a Titanium restore of only the data and not the actual app. As to the location of the backup file, that should not affect whether the restore is successful or not. As long as you make sure the program knows where the backup files are located, you should be able to do a restore. I would not restore data for a system app however. That tends to also cause forced closes and other problems. Also if you try to restore a backup for X ROM to AA ROM you will end up with forced closes and fails.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] spiff72:
Got it! I thought maybe it had a darker transparent background.

Thanks.

So, I may have a bug, but I am unsure. Whenever I reply with pop up messaging, my unread texts still shows on my home screen, and in notifications. Is this supposed be the way it works? The only way I can clear it is by deleting the text message.

Stock email issue

I'm not allowed to post on the discussion thread :( but I do follow it and I've been reading the stock email FC problems.

People think it is random and it is not random at all. If you try to copy, change, select your signature the stock email will FC. If you go to setting and try to change you signature it will FC you can disable it though. Can anyone with posting power :p tell them ...

I've submitted this bug already
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] toskabab:
I have the same problem. Text notifications don't go away unless I manually remove them or the text message. That and for some reason I'm having some major battery drain and I can't figure out what it is.

Themes

I thought we could select multiple themes during or after installation I still have not been able to figure it out. Honestly I like the white theme we had in B1 which I know was going to be an options for B2.

Can someone please give me a hint about how can I chose a different theme.

Thanks

Screen Standby

I use screen standby # root to shut the screen off while HDMI/mhl is connected to my appradio3. It is great for saving battery. However it is not working with the AGNi kernel. Can someone on the stock kernel try it?

SMS Popup

Any one have issues with notifications that dont go away while enabling the app? I had notifications in pull down and the little red circle on messaging icon on the home screen even when all messages read... Also, I disabled the notifications and they still showed up (and on lock screen).

I disabled Sms popup and all fixed.

This seems more an addon issue that a true rom issue.... just wondering if anyone else noticing similiar....?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tonyvan:
I can confirm the same issue. Some one else mentioned it in the discussion thread also. I just disable it and the problem is gone.

May have figured out the S Voice/S Note memo dictation problem

I explored this a bit more today using logcat, and have a theory. I tried to dictate a memo using S Voice and got the fail message this morning in my car, and it was the first time I'd tried this since rebooting. I looked at a logcat, and there was an error from Model_NoteDoc that said M-orientation != templateNote.GetOrientation(). My default note template is in Portrait mode, and I tend to keep my car dock in Landscape mode, Ahah!

I put my phone in Portrait mode, dictated a memo, and it saved just fine. Then, for kicks, I put it back in Landscape mode and dictated a memo. That one saved as well.

So it looks to me like the very first time I try to dictate a memo, I have to be in the same orientation as S Note's default template, or else it'll fail. After it's succeeded once, it must save some flag in memory that says "here's the template to use, don't check orientation" or something like that, and so it's OK to use Landscape. Bizarre. If I'd been coding S Note, I'd have a default template for each orientation ...

Anyway, if anyone could verify this theory, it'd be very helpful. Steps to reproduce it are:

Figure out what your default S Note template's orientation is

Reboot your phone

Hold your phone in the other orientation

Use S Memo to dictate a note

Expect it to fail

Hold your phone in the correct orientation

Use S Memo to dictate a note

Expect it to succeed

Hold your phone in the other orientation

Use S Memo to dictate a note

Expect it to succeed

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RktScientist:
I tried this and didn't seem to have any issues. I originally loaded deodex with Agri. I checked S Note default template is portrait, rebooted, held phone in landscape, started S Voice, said "Memo blah blah blah". It saved fine and showed up in S Note shortly after. S Note memo was in it's default portrait orientation. Tried again in holding phone in portrait with the same result. Repeated a few times. Unable to duplicate your issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] spiff72:
I am still not exactly where to post questions like this, so I will start in this thread...

1. I see that this ROM includes "zero wake lag" in the changelog. Is this what prevents the lag one would experience from the time you press the home or power button to the time that the screen comes on? Does this effectively prevent the phone from entering deep sleep? I noticed today that my Better Battery Stats widget shows 0 deep sleep time. However, I don't think the battery life is taking a hit (at least I haven't noticed yet).

2. Graphics sluggishness. This may not necessarily be graphics issues, but the phone just feels less "snappy" when performing certain actions. It is a general observation, but one place the I really notice it is inside the Yahoo Sportacular app. When I swipe left/right between days (looking at the college basketball scores), the pages freeze momentarily during the swipe. I know - I am nitpicking here, but this is just one example I have noticed and it happens on EVERY swipe. Does anyone else who uses that app see the behavior I described above?

Part of my #2 observation above might be because I am coming from a KitKat AOSP ROM (flipping back and forth from AOKP and SlimROM), so there wasn't a ton of TW overhead on the previous ROMs I had been using. There is definitely less free RAM at any given time when using N3bula. Perhaps this is just the way that TW really is...

These are not deal breakers for me (I haven't reverted back to my Nandroid backups yet)! Once the email and settings bugs are cleared up I will probably be a happy camper!

Thanks!

Sign-In Error

Normally I don't post on here. I usually find the error within the search or from our friend Mr. Google.

However through all my efforts, I'm unable to figure this particular problem out.

Situation:

Using Philz Touch

1. Wipe of all partitions including internal and external SD Card.

2. Place Nebula zip on external

3. Wipe all partitions AGAIN including internal sdcard.

4. Install ROM

5a. Accept all default options including full install and reboot

5b. Selected only the Google options, no samsung apps

6. Let the phone sit for 10 min and then went through the setup.

After entering my Google account information and going through that setup, I get notifications stating there was a sign-in error for my account.

Everything except Contacts and Gmail are syncing in the Google account sync page. (See attached images)

I've ran steps 1-6 above 3 different times now with no luck. I found an area that stated to remove some lines out of your /etc/hosts file but that didn't work either. I even wiped the /ets/hosts file and just put in the default entries for loopback.

Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated. I deff don't want to switch back to CM 11 nightlies as I'm tired of all the bugs/errors of nightlies and need a stable change.

BTW: Awesome boot-up animation. Best I've seen to date from any ROM.

Ok I have found a work around to get gmail up and running.

1. Reinstall a backup of v1 Nebula.

2. Once your up and running, dirty flash Nebula V2 over that using the default of Aruora installer.

3. Some of your 3rd party apps will fc, just reinstall them and you should be good. Worked for me. I am using Philz recovery.

AGNi kernel docs?

I finally had time to flash V2 and the OTA update yesterday. Yay! Now I'm playing with all of the options.

I decided to try the AGNi kernel, just for kicks, and I'm totally overwhelmed by all of the choices, and a bit intimidated. Are there docs anywhere describing all of the AGNi settings? I searched the main N3 thread and this one, as well as (of course) the AGNi threads I could find, but couldn't find anything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MunkinDrunky:
I quickly looked I didn't see any either in the kernels thread. You can make a nandroid backup and play, but I'm not sure of all the different functions yet either. I've only messed with OC 1705 and 1800 seem quite stable for me (not tried UV). I also like the misc setting to boost the headphone volume.

Now my question: how can we remove wallpapers folder from sdcard. That directory apparently can't be deleted from es file explored with full read write permissions, and I can't chmod in terminal to changed the folders permissions so I can delete. (I have those same wallpapers anyway from the transnebula tab rom)

Can't restore S Notes from before v2 update

When running v1 of N3BULA, I foolishly wasn't syncing my S Notes to Samsung or Evernote, and now, after doing a clean install of v2, I can't seem to get them back

I have a nightly Titanium Backup from before I did the update. When I try to restore S Note from the Titanium Backup, my notes don't come along with it.

I extracted the snote.db file from the backup and looked at it in a sqlite tool to see what it's got, and it appears to be referencing files in /storage/emulated/0/SnoteData. So I downloaded NandroidManager to look at the nandroid backup I did right before the update, and I can't find that directory anywhere. Am I not looking in the right place, or am I out of luck?

Torchlight shortcut not working with OTA update?

Hello -

I just installed this ROM yesterday and all is going swimmingly well, for the most part. When I first installed v2, one of my favorite things is the ability to turn on the torch by pressing the volume up key when the screen is off. Brilliant! After installing the ROM, however, I saw a notification that there was an OTA update for it (n3bula.n3.rom_2.2), so I went through the process of installing/flashing it.

After doing that, though, I noticed that the volume up shortcut for the torchlight stopped working. I double and triple checked to make sure the function was enabled; I tried rebooting a few times; still nothing. I decided that maybe it had to do with the OTA update, so I re-flashed the original v2 ROM and the volume up shortcut is now working again.

Just wanted to pass that along as feedback. And if there's something that I was doing/setting wrong with the 2.2 update that prevented it from working, please let me know.

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Just noticed it.. You do have the option to enable the home button to do the same.. just saying. .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cloudcover:
I saw that there was a way to use the home button from the lock screen; but as far as I can tell, that requires that you first press a button to turn the screen on (i.e., to get to the lock screen) and then hold down the home button to turn on the flashlight. What I liked about the volume up shortcut is that it's usable from the "screen off" state -- so there's only one button press required.

Is that the same home button shortcut you're talking about or is there a way to use the home button even when the screen is off?

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
You are correct.. The volume up is actually a default setting that was hidden.. so fix should be easy..OTA

Tiny Issues

Has anyone else had a problem with the ascending ringtone toggle? It seems to be always ascending regardless of whether the box is checked or not. Reboot in either position doesn't seem to make a difference. Also, I noticed that the special characters on the Samsung keyboard are messed up in landscape mode, i.e. "comma" is right justified instead of being on the "n" key etc. I pushed the keyboard from the latest MK4 Mod that I could find because I think it was created by the same person. Anyway, everything works as it should except for the long press delay toggle to speed up punctuation presses. These are the only tiny issues that I have encountered since the 2.2 OTA on an otherwise perfect rom. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this as well?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Hindle1225:
On V2 with OTA. Everything works great, except. .. The home screen and dock bar within launcher does not refresh after checking a message. Fot example. I get a text message, open the message, even if I delete the message those icons still show the "1" over message icon indicating an unread message. Is there a resolution?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
This is bc you have SMS popup enabled under Custom Apps in settings.. I believe there is a way to kill notifications for the app, SMS popup, but if that doesnt work trying disabling notifications on stock messaging app and then using SMS popup notification.. Worth a shot?

I disable it bc I dont really prefer it, but it is a cool feature like how aosp popup works..

Been about a week since last clean install. Battery life has degraded.

Barely touched my phone today. Screen time is 13 minutes. Has dropped to 88% in the last 2 hours.

First version was way better in this regard.

I am curious about the os using all this battery when I am not even touching the phone.

Can any of the devs chime in with ideas or suggestions?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cloudcover:
Hi -

I've had this ROM running now for several days and have noticed a few issues with which I was hoping to get some help:

1. The browser (whether I use Chrome or the Android browser) does not display embedded images on web pages. For example, if I open a article on news.cnet.com, the article typically has an image at the top (before the text). That doesn't display. Instead, it renders an outline of a box where the image would have been and inside that box is a little broken page icon (see attached screenshot). I looked for a setting that might control this (both in the browser and in the system settings) but couldn't find anything. This is a pretty big problem for me, needless to say.

2. I seem to be churning through my battery quite a lot faster than I remember from before the ROM. When I click through to the Battery setting, it shows that a big chunk of the battery usage is from "Android OS"; and another chunk is from "Android System." (See attached screenshots) Any thoughts on what might be causing this? Is this normal?

3. Apps seem to take longer to launch and to switch between than before this ROM -- by a fair amount. It definitely seems sluggish in those regards. It's painful waiting for the phone app to launch after I press the phone icon, for example. Once an app is open, it seems to run pretty much normally; and flipping between home screens or the app drawer both work fine. Again, is there some setting that might be causing this (and if so how can I figure out what needs to be changed)? It definitely stinks to have it running so sluggishly.

If there are files that would be helpful in diagnosing, I'm happy to provide them.

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Well the browser/chrome I have never had that issue, maybe someone else can chime in here.. But has not been and issue for me..

I'm going to see if a few things help battery drain. I have a couple ideas and if I find that is what is causing the issue it will be updated in the ota;)

Same with this.. There is a few things we can do to speed it up so I will look into that..? For you.. Were you coming from a aosp/PA/cm11 based ROM before?
