[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] HerroMoto:
I've been getting a lot of random force closes lately. Seems like a lot from Samsung apps. A force close that I get once in a while is Samsung Text-to-Speech. Would it be okay to disable it? Also my battery life has not been too great lately. After about 4 hours with about an hour of screen time I've already dropped 31%. Could just be my phone because I haven't had good battery life in a long time lol. Just seems like it has been draining more than usual today. Also I have gotten a couple of random reboots within the past 2 days. Sometimes after texting someone back in hangouts and closing my screen, or after Bluetooth calls. All seem to be random. Other than those issues everything still seems to be working and running fine. I have also tried fixing permissions in recovery but no dice. :/

How can I make it so when I get a text message it doesn't turn on my screen
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shellie03:
Open up your txt msgs hit the menu button.. select settings.. Hit the more tab and uncheck screen on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] timmyd463229:
I use Google hangouts it doesn't have that option...I think it's that quick reply app or whatever comes with this rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Turn it off then.. Sms pop up under settings/custom apps

Thank you

Held off moving from v1 to v2 until the single flash update was posted. Braced myself for possibility of a number of issues that others had reported but instead everything is close to flawless. I have used third party email and message apps for a long time, so I can't comment on those matters. Air Command worked as soon as I toggled it back on per L18 instructions. No FC or reboot problems on my end. Only really minor things I have seen is inability to get ink effect working on lockscreen (doesn't bother me but I have a niece who thinks it's really cool ) and the icons for Mixer theme don't show on homescreen or app drawer even though they do on lockscreen and Ultimate Navbar (I think this is Nova Launcher issue actually ). Great work guys! PS I dirty flashed to v2 with no apparent problems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Make sure you have ripple locks screen on then in rom control under lockscreen/custom ink effects..make sure you click the box to enable it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pgzerwer:
Thanks, that did it! I was just fooling with the Lockscreen control in the Personalization section of settings and didn't think to look under ROM Control too.

L'18--Did you update your aroma keyboard themer to the keyboard used in this rom? I love the prediction of this KB and how well it works; however, your themes were terrific [one even is named after me, :) ] and would like to use them if it's been updated.

Thanks!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Nop haven't gotten around to it.. Maybe I will if you all would like the options..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skilover:
Well, I'd certainly like it, :) It was popular before, if you have the time. Would it be a lot of work to change out the keyboard that is themed through Aroma?

Not necessarily.. BC smali wouldnt be involved bc on this ROM we have keyboard options under ROM control..so it would be just switching out resources..and XML edits..I'll maybe knock it out tonight.. Deck and I are working on something new to add to ROM control for the ota so we will see;)

Thanks--I appreciate your responsiveness. Perhaps if you can't do it now, you'll bear it in mind for the future. If you are able to make this option available, it would be terrific. I noticed there are some keyboard options under the ROM control, but I can't figure out what it actually does.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Hindle1225:
You can take your time as far as I'm concerned. This ROM is more than just a daily carry. I waited a couple months before updating. This ROM is good enough that I could set up my phone just the way I want it. Instead of just doing a basic setup because your used to updating all the time with other roms.. I can wait longer. :)

Have you ever figured out how to disable zerowakelag? If not, could anyone please help whether or not this is possible? I am in the same boat, willing to endure the wait to avoid draining my battery from zerowakelag. Any help is appreciated, thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RobFreundlich:
Are you sure that's what's draining your battery? I run BetterBatteryStats, and it's currently showing me that since I unplugged my phone 8 hours and some minutes ago, it's been awake almost the entire time, and I'm still at 85% battery (for an average drain of 1.9% per hour).

Best way to switch kernels

I've been messing with the stock kernel versus Agni. I did a clean flash when switching.

What's the recommendation? Could I just dirty flash instead? Sorry for the potentially lame question.

Or, would it be ok to simply flash this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2607652

Thanks.

If you're wondering about zero wake lag and drain, read this

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2187854

Scroll down to the section that says "Notes on Zero Wake Lag"

As I understand it, it may be BETTER to have your phone awake all the time if you sync a lot accounts in the background. After I did some testing with my note 2, I found it's slightly better if I get rid of the zero wake lag. Search this thread for "zero wake lag" and you will find the build prop to do. ROM toolbox will easily let you toggle between true and false.

I'm pretty sure this has been answered previously but I can't seem to find it. I can't send mms while wifi is enabled, I have to disable to send. Is there a fix for this? I'm using the stock messaging app.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Army_Spec_Ops:
might be a noob question but how do i enable the tabbed view in settings....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Menu key on phone..:good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Army_Spec_Ops:
ok. so i followed the install steps with the settings changes for the pen and im still not getting the little window to pop up. i also reinstalled clearing just the cache and dalvik. any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Did you turn air command and air view off before rebooting and flashing again ?

And you know to press the button on the pen right..no disrespect just not sure if you knew
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Army_Spec_Ops:
umm.. no i didnt turn them off... guess ill try that lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] boomerbsg:
i havent had this problem since being on the Note 2 at all. used to have it on my nexus and a couple other models.

Do you also have Mobile Data turned off while on wifi? that might be the culprit..

also did you flash the rom exactly by the instructions in the OP?

cheers
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cliefan:
I'm having this issue. Google search keeps crashing, then after rebooting, works fine for a while, then crashy crashy. I might try reflashing cuz air command won't turn on either.

What is the font pack being used as default on the home screen? I'd like to get the same kind of icons when I use the google launcher..

and it is flawless. ...like I said it's good to be home. ...

If there is another version....not sure I wanna update....Air command even started up out-of-the-box
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Army_Spec_Ops:
so Iturned 0ff the Two switches and reinstalled the roM and its still not working. any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Lodingi:
Keep flashing the rom until it works. On my recent install, it didn't work until the 6th or 7th flash. Don't flash the 2.2 update until you have air command working.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fkfmfz:
Try this. .. turnoff air command and air view. Reflash the rom. Once is up and running go to settings and change view to tabbed. Then turn on air command and air view. And it should work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shellie03:
From my experience do not wipe data with dalvik cache. I wipe data prior to flashing the rom. Just wipe the two caches in aroma and then open tabbed view in settings turn on the air command and air view before ever taking out the spen. That order works for me everytime.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikespe:
lacoursiere18 is there a way we can fix the streaming audio/video issue on our own until you get the OTA finished...meaning is it just a code change in 1 or a couple files? I ask because I use my phone for listening to music as well as docking it in the Samsung Media Dock to watch XBMC & it keeps cutting out quite a bit. I can deal with the occasional flicker but when it's in the middle of a movie & happens every 10 minutes it kind of gets to me lol!!

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] athack:
earlier in the post there was mention of mj9 dialer to download. .. I've looked for it with no luck. . does anyone know where I would get it from?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cbrinnny:
I believe there was talk about that issue quite a few pages back. In my case I renamed the hosts file to hosts.bak and that did it for me. I play music while driving and in the gym and has been working fine for me. I also stream music with the milk app with no problem. The file is located in system\etc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikespe:
Yea I think it was me you mentioned it with XBMC and someone else talked about streaming audio...it was either this post or the other one...Will this effect any other function by renaming the host file? I just renamed it & rebooted. I'll try it out. I'll reply back once I give it a test....Thanks a lot for the help!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shellie03:
l18 has this posted in themes and apps section. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2649736

He has two downloads the fullscreen mod and the restore to stock dialer. ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cbrinnny:
That's why i renamed the file to .bak but haven't seen any adverse effects on my phone. I rename it in case has to be restore, I don't delete the files. [emoji4]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikespe:
Well I found out real fast that it didn't work for XBMC...it's flickering quite a bit now. I know it's not XBMC because a friend has the same phone & is running XBMC flawlessly. It could be the dock malfunctioning too since I can run XBMC when it's not in the dock & it runs fine...I did think it could possible be bluetooth causing it because it happens with audio when I use my Motorola Buds headset as well as my bluetooth mouse when in the dock

Thanks again for trying!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cbrinnny:
Sorry to hear it didn't work for you. [emoji53]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
You stated the correct fix.. the reasoning the audio is skipping is bc the hosts files is adaway host file, so therefore it is constantly blocking ads..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
The MJ9 Dialer will not work with this ROM. We use Note 3 contacts and dialer, therefore, if you use a MJ9 dialer your contacts and maybe your dialer will surely crash or you'll get android.phone errors...let me see if I have the white lying around..

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Did you clear data for both apps? Try clearing and then see if it FC's still
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] athack:
When you say clear data for both apps do you mean dialer and contacts? ...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skilover:
What I've done in the past is replace the various res files in order to be able to use the correct Contacts/dialer app (the dialer app causes the problems) with res files from a similar dialer app that has the color theme you want. If L'18's suggestion won't work, what I'm suggesting might resolve it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chizler:
i flashed the white dialer/contacts and its good to go on my end, i did wipe cache/dalvik after flashing.

So with zerowakelag, my normal battery consumption bumps up to about 5% per hour. With version 1 I got between 3.8% to 4.5% per hour. Not much of a difference, but still noticeable regardless.

I went to that ROM but couldn't find the build prop you were referring to. Then from google search, I found this parameter to check on meanbean

meanbean.opt.zerowakelag=true

However, I can't find that anywhere (I'm using ROM toolbox, build prop editor). I also searched for "zero" "wake" "lag" with no success. Did you successfully disable it? If so, can you tell me the parameter that you disable? Thanks!

Without getting into the discussion about Philz vs TWRP.... I have TWRP v2.7.0.0 . When I boot into recovery I get a screen that has the following information on it.

E: error: Too Many open Files

This is preceded by a large amount of / marks. like 5 lines of varying lengths of slash marks.

I can't get a complete backup, as it fails about 1/2 through.

Thoughts? Suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] athack:
You have to wipe everything but external. .. esp wipe internal then re install
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fkfmfz:
i had that error before on that version.

use twrp v2.6.3.0, works on any rom i have flashed.

remember that latest is not always the greatest.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WhiteEVO:
Same here, I couldn't make backups with the latest version, went back to 2.6.3.0 and all is good.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ufkal:
Putting 2.6.3.0 back on. If I get the same stuff on there, can I shoot you the log to take a look? I've successfully used the latest TWRP to run backups and such, and I don't want to point to a Rom specifically, but when I strayed and tried a different ROM, that is when the issue presented itself.

Ok,, I flashed a new recovery (2.6.1.0) and these are the results I get. While it says I did get a back up, the 0MB backed up makes me a tad nervous. My only good backup is greater than 5 days old, but If I need to do a full wipe including the internal I can do that I guess.

Thanks for everyones input! - First time ever posting pictures, so I know I didn't do this right, if someone wants to PM me and tell me how to do it with out taking up all the space on the page, I'd me much obliged.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Thumprxl:
I can confirm backups work on twrp 2.6.3.0. I haven't tried the latest. Sometimes it's better not to update. :)

I'm just a noob but I have flashed every ROM made on every device I have. Phiz Touch is my main 'goto' but sometimes I have to use TWRP with AROMA installers. But this is the first time I have had this happen, I used the newest Philz Touch to flash N3BULA_Build_2_FINAL_22314_2237.zip with out any issues. But when I would "Wipe Data/Factory Reset" three times and "Wipe Dalvik Cache" three times, I could not get N3BULA_Build_2_FINAL_31414.zip to load. BUT when I had a ROM loaded and working and I would just Dirty install N3BULA_Build_2_FINAL_31414.zip everything would work fine. I did it multiple times just to confirm. I don't understand enough about how Recovery works to make a judgement. Maybe my experience will help someone.

With all that said I used TWRP 2.7.0.0 and everything loaded fine.
