Flashing Zips

I have been doing this for a while now but I have never flashed a zip I didn't want to keep. So my question is I want to flash the visual voicemail zip posted in the main thread and wanted to know if I can unflash it if I don't want it? Or do I have to make a backup of the rom and flash the zip and if I don't want it reflash the back???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Droid187:
Thanks. I'm liking the look of the Note 3 browser. I'll just have to play with this smart scroll some more. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Smoothcreak:
I'm really wanting a galaxy gear but not sure if it's worth getting. Anyone who has it what are your thoughts on yours? Do you like it and actually use it or is it just a gimmick?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] analyst1st:
Thanks for all your hard work!!!

As being a signed on member today I'm a noob but have been following xda for quite some time now. Years even just kinda learn but of course cause I didn't have the post requirement I couldn't post in the dev. section. And had followed this thread before it was official MJ9 build. Just wanted to say that I really appreciate the work that Deck and L18 have done... especially Deck for dealing with the crisis situation earlier... lol... keep up the good work and look forward to contributing when able!!!

new to posting not romming

Love this ROM been following the tread from the start. broke my F5 key lol. just need my required posts to join dissussion

---------- Post added at 06:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:18 AM ----------

got air command finally working following the advice to turn off s-pen reboot turn on and dirty flash. I did this several times to no avail. then found an interesting quirk on why air command was not working for me by accident. I like to use aircommand when pen is detached. this did not work for me and if I tried to start air command with hover and click phone would reboot. then i set what happens to s-pen when detached to none. air command works with hover and click. not sure if this is why some cannot get air command to work. just though it would help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Extract the zip on your PC. See whats in it. After you flash and you decide you do not want it.. find everything you extracted and delete it..reboot

Battery life is kinda weak compared to stock rooted 4.1.2. One thing I noticed is when I unlock the screen it makes 2 unlock sounds real quick. Just like it does when using navigation and locking the screen. Is my phone not sleeping good?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] troc240:
Just curious. ..how do I get the spen smart action menu to pop up when I press button. I enabled it in settings but no go
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
Hopefully not a Stupid Question

Hey, im sorry if this is a stupid question, but i was wondering if its at all possible to get the DPI settings changed for this rom to be 240? Love that on the AOSP roms but i cant stand the camera on those.

Also, is there any way to use Dashclock on the lock screen?

Great rom, amazing work. No real issues that prevent me from using this phone as primary. Only thing that crashes is About Phone but not important.

----------------------------------------------------

Update: got DPI settings set in Xposed, its not clean but it will do. Only thing i cant get to stay is Dashclock on the lock screen once enabling a PIN.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RobFreundlich:
How-to if coming from rooted/unlocked stock 4.1.2?

I've unlocked and rooted, but this will be my first ROM, so I want to be sure I've got all the steps clear before I move forward.

In the discussion thread, post 793, Deckoz2302 says this:

My questions:

I'm on stock 4.1.2 but have already used CASUAL to unlock and root. I've updated TWRP to 2.6.3.1 using GooManager as recommended elsewhere. I think that means I can skip steps 1 and 2 above. Is that correct?

In step 5 above, what does "wipe data in aroma" mean?

Roughly how long should each step take? Or, to put it another way, at what point in each step should I stop thinking "hey, this is going great" and start thinking "uh, oh, I'm in trouble, time to hit XDA for help"?

I've got TitaniumBackup backups AND a TWRP backup, If I understand things correctly, restoring the TWRP backup would put me back to my stock ROM state, whereas I could restore specific apps from my TitaniumBackup backups to get my apps and their data back. Is that correct?

Am I better off restoring apps from backup or reinstalling them from Google Play and the Amazon App Store and then just restoring their data?

What other questions should I be asking?

I'm looking forward to trying this out - anything anyone can offer to make it smooth for a first-timer will be greatly appreciated!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Lodingi:
Is there a way to setup my device using data. No wifi at work, and this rom seems to insist on wifi at startup. Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] griff22usmc:
2 Questions.

I lost the theme on the notification pull down... it was there when I first booted back from install. The following reboot (xposed update) it disappeared. I haven't been able to find settings to adjust it.

Also, I use Greenify paid version... it is not communicating with the Greenify app installed. I tried the play store but no install option. At a loss on a fix.

Any help would be appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Yes there are apps available in 240dpi.. Check out this thread THANKS [MENTION=4824728]Pafcholini[/MENTION] but BE CAREFUL make sure you back up anything you change. Also, I haven't tried it yet but in xposed you can install App Settings, which you can change your dpi.

Dashclock you should be able to add. Make sure you have multiple widgets checked under settings>lockscreen.. Then when you re lock your phone it will tell you how to add widgets.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 05Warrior:
Ok I'll post this again since no response. A few pages back I posted a pic of snote and action memo popping up on a double tap on the home screen. How do I disable snote from popping up? I didn't see anything in the settings for snote or anything in settings.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] boomer539:
DO NOT UPGRADE TO 4.3 stock

You definitely do not want to update your phone to 4.3 by going back to stock. Doing this will lock your bootloader up and you won't be able to unlock it until some intelligent devs figure it out. EVERYONE on stock 4.3 is locked right now.

You're almost entirely correct on how you should update to this rom from 4.1.1. You will need to update your recovery though. Try using Philz Touch (TWRP from Adam Outlers thread is waaaaay too outdated for this rom which i'm assuming you're on.)

So, FIRST, make a backup in your recovery!!!!!

Second, update your recovery. (you can use an updated version of TWRP but i've provided a link to Philz Touch that worked for me.) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2028103

Third, Flash your new recovery in your old recovery (like you did when you flashed beans build 6 to your phone ages ago :D. )

Finally, Flash MJ9 in odin (use the PDA slot.) (this link is from the alliance ROM thread but it worked for my phone.) http://www.mediafire.com/download/b0w2hq1ukbdf33f/MJ9+Stock+Kernel.zip

Copied and Pasted from OP: :good:

2. Wipe Dalvik, Cache, System, Data, and Internal Storage

3. Install the rom. Its a very straight forward Aroma

4. Once you are booted YOU MUST GO THROUGH THE SETUP, DO NOT DO THE 4 CORNER to skip. This will result in the Air Command function not working. This will also prevent Accuweather widget not automatically aquiring location. PLEASE FOLLOW THIS STEP. If you ask why you don't have air command(even when turned on in settings) I will tell you you need to learn to read. GO THROUGH THE SETUP!

5. Flash MinorFixV1.zip to fix GPS and some other things (do this in your recovery)

6. Enjoy

If you soft brick your phone: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2196891 then use casual to reroot and unlock your phone and begin this process again. (one thing to note if you ever have to go back to stock to try this process again, use something other than the "root66" link.)

I wish you the best of luck and we're glad you could join us! :good:

Double checking a few things before installing...

Hi Folks -

I'm currently running a rooted version of Android 4.1.2 with the build number ending in MC3 and with TWRP 2.5.0.0 installed and am interested in installing this N3BULA ROM. I've just created a nandroid backup and also a titanium backup of all user apps but had a few questions beforehand to make sure I don't screw up and cost myself tons of time and trouble:

1. Do I need to update TWRP or is the version I'm currently running enough? And if I need to update it, what's the easiest/safest way to do that? I've seen a tool called Flashify but I'm not sure if that will work with this particular phone (I've seen some reports with other phones stating that they had trouble but maybe those have been fixed by now). Or does Goomanager allow me to update TWRP?

2. It seems that I first need to use ODIN to install the MJ9 firmware package, is that right? If so, is there a link to a video or webpage explaining how to do that?

3. So after using ODIN to install MJ9, do I just boot into TWRP and then flash this ROM or is there anything else I need to do?

4. Do I also need to separately install the Google Apps package? And if so, do I just install the latest (20130813) from the rootzwiki site, or is there some other version that I should use?

Thanks in advance!

Update twrp to the latest. Heres a link to the zip.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/cfdd9dahvpbs99d/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-t0ltevzw (1).zip

Open odin open firmware in the pda slot. Put n2 in dl mode. Plug into pc. Should show a yellow com # in left side. Hit start.

When installing 4.3 rom wipe everything including formating data... u can also go back to 4.1.2 if needed

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cloudcover:
Thanks! A couple of follow-on questions:

1. Do I use PC Odin

both

for updating twrp

and

for installing the MJ9 rom? Or do I use PC Odin just for the MJ9 firmware and something else (Flashify?) for updating twrp?

2. Also, do I need to install a gapps package when flashing the N3BULA ROM and if so is the version I mentioned the right one?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JeramyEggs:
1. No, flash twrp from within twrp.

2. No need for gapps

3. Have fun

K, when through, downloaded and loaded MJ9 OTA firmware through Odin, backed all my stuff up, Wiped Dalvik, Cache, System, Data, under wipe option in TWRP. Then did advanced and yes and did a format. Got done with that installed the ROM with and did the wipe data option. Went through the reboot and been sitting at the verizon logo with the blue LD for about 25 mins.

Just saying. (Not bragging)Only problem I've had with this Rom tiny amounts of lag when tasker and trigger are both working at once. I expect that's normal on any rom. My battery life is amazing to. When people say they have problems I assume they didn't check md5, didn't use the newest recovery, or left the sd card in first boot. (I can explain why but taking sd card out for first boot made mine work.. I did a lengthy post about it somewhere.)

I still get the roaming issue, flashed everything again. all kinds of combination. i lose all signal bars, it says no service where the network provider should be and also in status it shows not roaming even that i am in a roaming area...

after a flash it works a little bit, and after a certain time its gone....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
You are on Verizon right? I only ask this bc I havent heard of an issue loosing signal bars..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Snake-Plissken:
yes i am on verizon and out of the country thats why i notice it immediatly as soon as the phone starts roaming. But i found the issue...

its appsettings, the xposed module. After installing and enabling the xposed modules which are delivered with the rom it happened after a restart. I just deleted the appsettings module and got everything to work again. I also tried to reinstall the module and it works fine too. I just cant use the permission manager of app settings and revoke any permissions specific to phone. because this will break everything again. it seems there is something set by default maybe. I dont know. but so far its working now...

my only other issue right now is getting a gps fix.

i installed the nebula fix and flashed it, also set in fastgps fix the right location but i still was not able to get a fix after 20 minutes. I was indoor, but with my note 3 i get it at the same postiton almost immediate....

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Naddict:
Thread cleaned..

This childish drama has to stop, it has absolutley no place in development.

I can tell you for a fact, that the forefathers of many of the mods and roms have personally told me they could care less about all this territoriality. How hard is it to ask for permission and to give credit anyhow?

What is amazing to me is the amount of energy some members here have spent trolling and flaming each other instead of using that energy to find ways to collaborate and work together towards furthering development.

I do not care about what titles members have, I do not care about trolls or those snarky members who are here only to leech off of others hard work, I do not like dev's who think they can use XDA to make money off of other members, and I do not like energy being spent on negativity.

Take the claims of ownership to PM, feel free to cc me with them, we can sort them out there.

Final warning folks...infractions are next.

The launcher questions prompted one of my own...

I am in the same boat with Nova (prime). I have been using it FOREVER, and have a hard time sticking with stock launchers (either TW, or some of the KitKat ROMs I have tried). The biggest thing I like about nova is the ability to back up settings to SDcard and restore (mainly so I don't have to get all my icons/widgets back where I like them. Is there a way to do this with other launchers? I imagine that this is not easy with the different ROM launchers (TW vs CM/KitKat/JB) - while Nova is more of a cross-platform approach...
