Anyone know how to get true full colored emoji throughout the system (specifically snapchat)? I've tried a few ways and they just don't work or they aren't the same as the iPhone (my wife has an iphone and I want to see exactly what I'm sending her)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Modifing the framework.. I know the Note 3 has them and it was discussed (between Deck and I) about fixing them.. I'll bring it back up
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BoostedB18C:
Thanks, that would be awesome if you guys could figure it out. (I'm asking about emoji and I'm still trying to get air command to work. LOL)

I have an issue with SMS notifications. When I click the notification it doesn't bring me to the text. It just sends the bar back up to the top. Notification doesn't clear and the second time usually works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Thumprxl:
my 2 cents. ..

Hey guys. So far everything is working fine. Kudos to the devs!!

How I got there....

*Flashed mj9 ota with Odin 3.07 (thanks beans)

*Wiped as instructed.... btw, I copied all of my internal and sd card data to my laptop so I could wipe everything.

*Installed the rom choosing the wipe data option. I had wifi so no problem there.

*Signed into Google and allowed play store to reinstall my apps.

*Flashed gps fix... working great!

*In settings went into tab view to enable air command. S Pen works fine as long as I set it on action memo or none. S Pen air command opens by hovering near the screen then pressing the button on the pen.

*BT and gps works fine.

*Got everything set, did a nandroid backup. (Haven't tried to recover yet).

So to conclude. .. This rom rocks and will be my dd!!! Thanks to L18 and deck for all of your hard work!!:good:

Side note... I'm on Verizon using their sim card and using TWRP 2.6.1 or whatever the latest version is.

I think most ppl miss the tab view in settings to get air command to work.... Just reiterating.

I hope this helps someone!

Any one having challenges with walking mate? I can't get it to start...

Basic aka dumb question first... do I need gear for it to work?

I was googling around and read that s health and sensor services need to be in data/app not system/apps (where mine are)

Activate and using the Quad View Multiwindow

I tried many different things to figure out how to get the quad view window to work, but couldn't. Normally I only need or use two windows at a time, Waze and TuneIn. But I would like to know how to use the feature. Anyone know how to use it? Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Yes I believe you do need it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dieseldane:
I have the gear. I flashed it to null 17 and have the latest gear manager running on this rom. Put pda net on note 2 and tablet version on gear and now have full bluetooth wifi on the gear. I use it all day. Just more convenient then pulling out my note while at work. Takes some time & reading to set up. But now I find it was worth the $. I got a black open box 1 from BB. They took $60 bucks off. The dam thing still had the plastic coverings on the screens. Plus a couple hundred in gift cards for xmas. So my out of pocket was next to nothing. I found, once I went to null 17. It really opened up the gear.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Use two fingers and drag out to in.. should bring up all your screens..then there is a plus button to add more

Contact issues

I'm having an issue with the contacts. Every time I restart my phone and open contacts for the first time it becomes passion fully slow and there are not contacts. So I can speculate and say it is downloading my contacts from somewhere. If I wait patiently the contacts will show up after a whole and everything will start working the way it's supposed to.

I have my contacts synchronized with Google. I also have a corporate exchange account setup and also synchronize contacts. But the way the exchange account works is that give me results whenever I'm looking for a contract or does not download the whole contact list since there are thousands of contacts. This used to work on 4.1.2 as well as on 4.3 sophisticated 2.0 ROM.

Also as stated before i can not add a new call whenever i have stayed one. Had any one else tried that? I just want to make sure is not me.

Thanks,

PS: other than those two issues I'm really impressed with this ROM. Thanks for the hard work!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shellie03:
When in a call I don't see a hold button. Didn't we have one?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
I think there is a Samsung app for printing in there but im not sure it wors bc it doesnt sync with s browser.. Anyways you can try what [MENTION=4125737]monkeyass408[/MENTION] suggested in this post:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
I have to talk to deck about contacts.. The only thing I could suggest is try signing in and out of google acct.. I see some people have issues with this and some do not..Sorry i dont have my phone so i can not try to simulate this

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BoostedB18C:
I feel like an idiot. Do the s pen gestures from the old roms still work and how to you get to the settings for it? I used to click the s pen button and make a "<" to go back. It was super quick to do it that way
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] LordRalh3:
Been running this and setting things up my way and everything is working perfectly. I am having one slight issue maybe someone can help with...I can't seem to find a torch toggle for the quick settings or a way to integrate into say long press of the home button when the screen is off
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BoostedB18C:
Use wanam for xposed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] LordRalh3:
Thank you much that will do it

Note2.5
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RobFreundlich:
I don't believe there was ever a setting for these gestures - they just worked. AFAICT, they're not working now. I don't know if they've been removed in 4.3, or if it's something specific to N3BULA.

The dynamic navbar at the bottom of the screen is a decent substitute, but it's not *quite* as convenient.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BoostedB18C:
You use to be able to add your own s pen gestures. Atleast I'm not the only one that they don't work for
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RobFreundlich:
When I search contacts, I get odd results. A picture is worth a thousand words, so I've attached four.

The first is a search results list. Note the duplicate results. The next three are what I get when I click on each of the results. Clicking the first Flemings entry takes me to Flemings; clicking the second Flemings takes me to the Tati Freundlich entry; clicking the Tati Freundlich entry takes me to someone else.

All of the entries DO have "Tati" in them, so the search itself is OK; is just the results list display that's weird.

Does anyone else see this?

One thing to note is that the entries were created from a third party appthat can sync is db into either its own contacts account (as I've done here) or the Gmail contacts account on the phone. I see the same problem either way. I am fairly sure I didn't see this problem under stock 4.1.2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Thumprxl:

I am wanting to do some light themeing (only images no xml) but when I try to pull out all the images I get an error that I am assuming is due to the rom being odexed. Anyone know what I need to do to get images out of this so I can look around? Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shellie03:
I use 7-zip to open the rom and change what I need.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrbxx7:
I had to use win rar

TaPpEd from my N3BULa N2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jdpeck:
I generally use win rar to unzip the entire thing then 7zip to open up the individual apks I want and copy out all the images then when i am done use 7zip to swap out the images. I was able to get the whole rom to unzip to a folder but when I try to use 7zip to copy out folders from the apks I get a compression error. I tried one of th emany apk tools as well and get the same errors. As a test I used 7zip to swap out some images from an old theme I had for tweaked and they moved into it fine, its just getting them out I am having issues with.

I will try win rar for the apks and see if that works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shellie03:
You have to decompile apk's and after editing them recompile them back and sign them. There's howtos on how to do this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jdpeck:
that is one option and I have done it that way, but lately I have all my images in a folder, use 7zip and go through folder structure of the rom and drop them in and its fine. You don't have to decompile to do it and if I did need to I know how to do that. My original comment also stated the apk tools for me were not working so wanted to know if anyone else had pointers on an extra step I needed to go through due to it being odexed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Tlingitsoldier:
I'm sure it's been mentioned before, but is the light text in various dialog boxes going to be fixed? I can still read it, so it isn't a huge problem, but it would certainly be helpful to have the text darker. So far I only recall seeing it in pop ups like in the attached screenshot.

Also, I was having issues with the included Greenify not working with the donation version. I followed the instructions of uninstalling with TiBu, and it worked as expected.

Thanks, and keep up the great work! We appreciate all the effort you two have put into making a great rom. :D

My settings menu is a scroll down menu like in 4.1, instead of a tabbed menu like it should be on 4.3, I also do not have the custom apps option in the device area is this normal?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Curtis Craig:
If you downloaded the beanstown OFFICIAL MJ9 then you have to unzip it before using odin
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shellie03:
I've noticed this also. If you click on the pic icon of that contact instead of the contact name it brings up a little window of the correct contact.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RobFreundlich:
Sort of. In my example, the list shows this:

Fleming's Steakhouse

Fleming's Steakhouse

Freundlich, Tati

When in actuality, the matches are:

Fleming's Steakhouse (found because of "Tati" in the notes)

Freundlich, Tati (found because of "Tati" in the name)

Smith, Bill (found because of "Tati" in the notes)

It's true that clicking on the icons brings up Flemings, Flemings, Freundlich (which matches the listing) but really, the problem is in the list itself. The clickthroughs in the original screenshots show the correct contacts, even though they don't match what's listed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] aldcu:
That is one of the problems I'm having with the contacts, the second problem is when I open the contacts for the first time its hangs for a while before loading the list. I also have a problem with the phone were I can not create a conference call. Once I start a call I can not add a second call nor can I merge a call.

Because of all this I've tried loading a different SecContacts and SecPhone apk and that did not work. I lose data/voice connection and both icons disappears from the phone.

Has anyone been able to fix this?

I had a problem with s tranlator not working with N3BULA, other people were having the same problem. The app did not recongnize your voice when you spoke, it just said "speach not detected".

In fact, I tried walking away from my pen with S Health active, and Keeper beeped after about 10 steps but S Health tld me I hadn't taken any steps.

Is this a N3BULA problem or a GN2 problem? Am I going to have to get an external pedometer?

couple ?'s

Hey all,

have a couple questions for the q&a.

1. <see pic> is there any way to get rid of the page indicator lines? and can I then extend my widgets to that area?

2. <see other pic> when I open my gallery there are folders/pics off the the right that I can't scroll to, is there something there I can do?

neither of these are killers to me, I absolutely love this rom. Thank you for the rom, and thanks in advance to anyone that can assist.

<yes I have searched through the various threads and have not seen either of these questions asked/answered, I have a feeling the only resolve to number one is a different launcher, but am hopeful that there's a different answer than that>
