I'm not having issues with signal. I'm simply coming from an old Samsung Galaxy S1/cm7 style ROM flashing mentality where it was necessary to find the correct flashable modem package for your area and device. If that's not the case anymore, my bad. I've been out of the game for a few years. I'm running V41 w/Devil without flaws on my i317 in south Florida, USA

Okay, but since you are on an N7105 model I strongly suggest grabbing this kernel to flash last after everything else:

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

1) Make ABSOLUTELY SURE you have the newest recovery for your exact model of phone. This is to ensure you have a bootloader capable of handling chocolate bars being crammed into the micro-SD plug. TWRP 2.6.3.1 is the entree of choice these days.

2) From recovery do a factory wipe, then install the Rom (again, v42 will be out in a couple of days, dirty flashes usually work just fine but if you are in no hurry wait for it), then flash the GAPPS of your choice, then flash the Devil Kernel. (the DK is almost a necessity with t0lte/t0letcan, although the wi-fi and Terminator eye electrocution problems making people eyeballs pop seems to be an 'old' issue at this point).

3) I wipe the dal/cache between every step, likely unnecessary but let's face it we all have our superstitions. Make sure you do a wipe before the last reboot, though.

4) The Devil Tools offer very powerful overclocking of CPU/GPU as well as undervolting and many other goodies. Even with Samsung's speed-binning cranked against us the majority of Note 2's can run at 1800/600 with nice undervolting and zero issues.

5) There is a sound hack built into the Devil Tools, it is 'okay' but if you really want something special go find the Boeffla sound hack and then slightly boost your speaker, headphone, and mic gain for MASSIVE improvement across the board.

6) If you have any problems we are all here eagerly waiting to attack you and hoot like Far Side baboons if you have done something silly and didn't read the OP and the other 500 pages of this thread and the 750 pages of the DK thread.

7) I don't need to tell you to make a nandroid before you start, if I have to tell you that then I want those GPS co-ordinates.

To some people a complete low level format of all internal SD partitions would not be a big deal, it is all about 'risk tolerance' (to use industrial safety parlance). Here in Canada people have had serious issues with APN settings that couldn't be fixed because a person's phone was treated as a leprous international edition, for example. Add to this the fact that there are many, many people who to this day cannot get a working USB/ADB connection to their computer, and you can get stuck with a serious problem that is impossible to fix without ODIN and a North Korean EMP device.

Not that it is related in the slightest, but it was only a couple of months ago I made the rookie mistake of saying "oh look at how ugly that nandroid directory name is, I will fix that up" and then soft-bricked my phone and was totally flummoxed as to how to go about fixing it - simply because I had lost the directory ID that TWRP must have to restore a nandroid. We all start from scratch, and losing EFS/modem/APN stuff can be apocalyptic for people of a certain level. Where I am now, I think I could re-solder my dissassembled sandwich board while hanging upside down in a freezing shower with a blindfold on, but it was not that long ago that I was clawing open the bottle of Xanax if I got into a bootloop. Come to think of it, those bootloops are STILL pretty scary... ;)

My first foray into flashing roms I nuked my modem on my GSIII and boy was I freaking out. Phone was okay, but I had no service and it was panic stations. Luckily XDA came through when I found a thread with my modem attached, a simple download / flash and I was back. For the short time it took to sort the problem out, I gotta say the stress levels where pretty severe. I really feel for those who try flashing roms for the first time and lose their modem, I wouldn't wish it upon anyone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kaibosh99:
XDA *always* comes through. Searching can be daunting simply because of the epigogic amount of raw information on these forums, but even if your answer isn't easily found people will be scratching each other's eyes out to be the first to help you.

Exactly also from what I've seen v42 and up have a few big new features which can be time consuming he could be waiting for a more stable version with these new features as well.

I'm getting this for free so I don't mind having to wait v41 has been running strong for me and no problems either.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kaibosh99:
You can migrate from a VIC-20 tape drive, the whole concept revolves around making separate nandroid backups of each critical partition and then formatting that partition to the newfangled voodoo after which you restore your backup. No one is having any problems if they follow this guide to the letter, it was just that before there were some laid out steps like this it really was rather scary to muddle through dozens of pages of sketchy reports and feedback.

Also for the meantime. Found a omniswitch apk

See here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=50164234

Next post from there says to push to system/app and do permissions.

I have it working. Pretty slick. Gotta love Android.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] lebertian:
Hey, what does that mean exactly? To directly copy the apk into system/app? And what about the permissions? What do we need to change? Thanks in advance!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kaibosh99:
You can probably find a nice guide somewhere here on XDA for manually pushing an .apk to the system directory, or you can be lazy and use Titanium Backup to insert it as a system app. There are other apps (free) just for doing that as well on the Play Store.

Er, actually this apk is a bit of a pain because it won't install as a user app so it has to be manually injected. ES Explorer refused to copy the apk into the system/app dir even with full root access and all the toggles on, I used 'Root Explorer' to do it and that app simply changed the settings one way and then back in a flash to do it. Once it is in there, long press on it and go to 'permissions'. They have to be:

User: Read and Write

Group: Read

Other: Read

After that, just reboot and it will be in your app drawer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] eksoccer99:
Yes copy it into system/app. I use es file Explorer, root permission. On the apk, change to rw-r-r. Rebooted into recovery to fix permissions in case. I'm sure w/e app that fixes perm will work. Then you'll see omniswitch app in app drawer. Set it up and profit. :cool:

It's not an install apk. So titanium backup won't work. Or I haven't in depth gone through TB's settings. :sly:

Hello you guys strange thing happened to me my phone battery died and so I grabbed a spare to change it but now no longer have access to my microsd card only in recovery..

Not sure what to do except to reflash the ROM ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] lebertian:
Hey, thanks for the tip! I downloaded the apk and pushed it to /system/app following this explanation: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1412729 (basically what you said, moving the apk there and changing permissions). I used root explorer for that.

The thing is that after doing that and rebooting the phone, I don't see OmniSwitch anywhere (apps drawer, settings, list of apps), I can see the apk file in /system/app though, with the right permissions. Is there any thing else I need to do?

EDIT: Went into recovery -> fix permissions, but still nothing...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kaibosh99:
Edit: Oops, I completely missed the fact that you can see it in recovery. In that case go to 'storage' and check to see if it is mounted. That is where you would unmount it to format it. Yours is not dead. If you need to format it from the recovery, but... Not many of us have ALL of that backed up on a regular basis. There are apps for pc's that can 'repair' and bring files back off a damaged External SD card, too.

I love ES Explorer like a brother, but it is usually dysfunctional for me. It refused to write to the directory, period. It has always been buggy for me. 'Root Explorer' looks plain jane but for stuffing files into smelly partitions it works flawlessly.

This Omni Switcher is a buffed up Halo dot, much like that other flash in the pan app swiper (Switchr?) they don't really make things easier for me. Back in the ProBam glory days *sniff* you could try out every single UI there was, that rom was Mr. Roger's TickleTrunk. Halo is cute but these UI leech switchers are a pain if you are a serious gamer. Uh, that said this Omni-Switcher is very, very slick. I hope they meant to release the .apk, I think they planned to anyway because the rom for their own hardware is all open source right?

What did you do to make the OmniSwitch work? I pushed the apk to /system/apps with root explorer (like you, I tried with ES Explorer and I couldn't get it to move the file there). I updated the permissions to the ones suggested and rebooted the phone (oh and I ran "fix permissions" in recovery too). After all that I can't see OmniSwitch anywhere in my phone... did I miss something?

Don't know then bro. That's what i did to get mine to work when I was running this. I've had to do that on almost every kitkat Rom I've run so far. Are you using any modified apk of snapchat? like an inverted or clear version? Only thing I could suggest is to clear data and cache and then change the settings, or uninstall and reinstall the app, and set it to low before using it for the first time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kaibosh99:
I didn't do anything beyond what I listed. If the apk is in the right directory and the permissions are correct, it should be in your app drawer after rebooting. As far as I know the 'fix permissions' stuff is a legacy tool that is no longer used by modern roms. Check your apk file, it should be 661kb.

Settings - display and lights - Wake on plug.

Turn it off and the screen should not turn in when you plug it in. Should be what you are looking for.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ToxicWaste:
Thanks for the reply but I had that unchecked from the start. Still does it. What seems to happen is I'll plug the phone into the wall, shut the phone off and it appears to be off. However, every single time I wake up the next morning, the phone is fully booted.

Jon
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mashuto:
Ooooh, misunderstood. You want the phone to actually be off and remain off, not just the screen. That I am not sure about, and I am not sure is something that is supported. If I had to guess, the phone needs to be on to regulate the charging of the battery.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish by having the phone off while charging?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ToxicWaste:
Odd that it wouldn't be supported. The phone would be stock and stay off during a charge and I've had other ROM's on it that would do the same. This is the first phone I've had that will turn itself on (at some point), while plugged in.

I prefer to give the phone a rest and it's also a good way to get sleep, considering i can't just randomly wake up and check texts, emails etc. More of a way to disconnect from tech each night.

Jon
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mashuto:
Gotcha, and maybe someone with more knowledge than me will chime in and maybe say you can leave it off while charging. I have had other phones before that always turned on when charging so to me it is not that odd. And especially considering that there are kernel settings for controlling the charge it makes some sense to me that the phone would need to be on in order to make sure the phone doesn't overcharge or anything else relating to regulating the charging.

However, there is one thing you could certainly do if it can't remain off, you could always set a night time profile to essentially turn off cell services and messages and all that other stuff. I do not have too much experience with that, but I know its possible to put your phone into a do not disturb mode while you sleep so you wont get any calls or texts or emails or any of that.

Good luck!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ToxicWaste:
Your profile idea is actually a good one or I could put it in airplane mode. Much of it boils down to trying to disconnect from technology. Ever read any of the studies done on addiction to Internet, social media etc.? For me it's just easier knowing the phone is off.

Thanks again for you insight :)

Jon
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] lebertian:
You probably thought of this before I'll say it just in case. You can just switch "Quiet hours" ON and also silence it, that way the phone won't do any kind of sound or light at night, and when you wake up you'll see whatever notifications you received during the night. This is what I do and works great for my, I don't get disturbed at all by the phone while sleeping. I guess airplane mode could work too, although you'd "miss" any notification that you received during the night (as opposed to receive them but them not bother you). I guess it's a matter of preference, I like not being bothered by the phone at night but also like seeing when I get up what emails, texts, whatsapps, etc I received and check them from bed :)

If your thing is more about having the device completely off to avoid electromagnetic waves and such... then I don't know, but I guess you'll need to sleep with a tin foil hat with all the rest of electronics in your house going on :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] eksoccer99:
Not sure if it's a cm11 bug, but I've seen elsewhere and others post, in other forums where you can't have the phone/device completely off to charge. Has to be on for some reason.

Quiet hours is a good solution.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] lebertian:
Works now! You were right, for some reason downloading the apk with ES Explorer download function was breaking the file, I checked the size and it was way smaller. I downloaded the apk via Chrome and now it's up and running :). Pretty cool way of switching between apps! I saw in Temasek's log for v42 that it was included in his ROM, so we should get this feature in future versions of Will's ROM without having to manually it... pretty neat!

Thanks for the tip!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ToxicWaste:
Quiet Hours is a good solution as well. I suppose I just need to adjust to a couple of options. I just always preferred shutting the phone down to give it a break. Always got more battery longevity through this method as well since it cools the battery down (trick from chemistry class).

I appreciate all the advice from you all :good:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kaibosh99:
Thanks Will, are you saying we will be on a completely different code base again?

As for the phone's behaviour when you plug it in.... I have noticed that my phone simply refuses to stay shut off altogether. No, I don't meen 'asleep', I mean where I completely shut the power down and then a couple of minutes later it cheerfully boots itself up from scratch. I saw that and I was like "wow, that pocket mode is stubborn enough to function from beyond the grave".

I haven't tested as to whether the phone will boot up by itself when it is unplugged and the battery pulled, if it were to do that I would have to go to the nearest Catholic church in make some discreet inquiries about when I can book a time for an exorcism.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] willl03:
