They were discussing steps beyond a factory wipe, I just wanted to remind people to make a separate nandroid backup of JUST their EFS and Modem partitions to keep handy. In the past I have been forced to go beyond 'factory wipe' and it gets scary. Yes, you are right about the APN stuff, but even so other roms have confused that issue too. For example I have a Canadian I317M and some roms make my phone appear 'international' which switches to a set of APN settings that simply don't work. At the very least people should take the 4 or 5 screenshots necessary to capture all their APN settings and keep those tucked away somewhere.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Unknownkj:
I usually do a factory reset, format and wipe cache and dalvik. Works well for me. Usually I keep a backup of impt settings on ext SD.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] lebertian:
So I've done the "full wipe" (format /system, data/factory reset, wiped cache partition and dalvik cache) and installed the latest ROM (v37). Everything seems working fine (well, except my phone going a little crazy with all that autodownload crap of all the apps from Google Play).

Now, if I want to format the internal SD card, how do I do that? I can't see the option in Android OS (Settings->Storage), and in CWM recovery, there's an advanced option to "format /data and /data/media (/sdcard)", but I'm not sure if I should do this one (will it delete just the SD card partition or also everything else and I'll need to reinstall the ROM?).

Do you have any advice on that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Unknownkj:
Cmw doesn't clean your internal SD. Twrp does, if u want a clean install. Do a factory rest and format data and it will be clean.

If u wanna avoid the auto dls, don't sign in Google account during set up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] lebertian:
Thanks for your reply! So then can I do that from CWM? Do I need to do the factory reset again (I just did it to install the latest ROM) or can I go straight to format "/data"? Will I lose the apps or just the content inside the sdcard partition?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Unknownkj:
I would definitely suggest getting twrp 2.6.3.1 it has touch controls too. There's a link on the beanstalk thread for a flashable zip.

I might be wrong but formating on cmw would not give a clean internal sd wipe as it will retain your apps data and stuffs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] lebertian:
OK I'll check it out! Can that zip be flashed from CWM? Or how do I change CWM for TWRP?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] skyred5:
OK got it!

This ROM so far is very good, much better than what I experience in BS. My only concern is that not many of the settings that are familiar on Beanstalk is found on Temasek. It's not a big issue, just personally not used to something similar yet new at the same time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sapps:
That was one reason to do it. Second was some people losing root in some ROMs.

I was sceptical about flashing this since I've have had such great experiences with beanstalk. But man this does not disapoint. Its running smoothly nothing major. I'm not a big flasher and I'm not into that complicated stuff. These little things are just really good to see and experience. It can only get better from here.

Can someone confirm if this adds the photosphere? (lost in during upgrades in Beanstalk)

Also does anyone happen to know how to unlock the phone while on this. I see a way to do it while on 4.1.1 but don't want to revert back if I don't have to.

Thanks!

You can flash it from cmw. Reboot into recovery and it will be twrp. You can check out advance wipe on twrp.

Sorry one last question: at what point do I perform the /data format once I boot into TWRP? I guess first I follow the typical steps (data/factory reset, wipe chaches, wipe /system) and then I format the /data (sdcard)?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sofia-captivate:
I'm on Jan 5th build. Howcome when I receive calls the screen goes black and I have to press power to wake the screen and answer everytime mostly.

Also I never get instagram replys for example I write something on someone pics and they reply back to me I don't get it on my notifications and I have to go back to that picture to view it? Anyone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] R0B3RTF1SH3R:
ok i just had the most bizarre thing happen on my phone.

i was on a viber call, i hung up,

all a sudden, screen started opening new windows. apps calling people. closing instantly, calling other people. hanging up. changing wndows. opening messages sending messages of "jbd9fa d7fa fab df " etc to people. i tried to hold HOME button to see wtf. it would skip across new screens and move windows every second (all while calling random people and sending random texts's to people) not sure if this was a viber bug. very concerned. it took me 20X pressing power +reboot + ok to get it to reboot so i didn't have to batt pull, ( its anoying to take out of my case)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Eun-Hjzjined:
^^ ... Strange that. I would have just held the power button down to force a shutdown than deal with catching the right timing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] lebertian:
OK, I apologize in advance if what I'm going to say already exists or doesn't make a lot of sense, but here's the thing:

I see a lot of people (me included) posting bug reports in random posts, not to complain (I'm sure we all appreciate the work done by the devs) but to point out issues hoping that they will be taken in consideration when new updates of the ROM are released.

The issue is that all these bug reports are scattered all over the thread, so it's more difficult for any dev to see a comprehensive list of issues and try to fix them.

So the question is: is there any way that we could centralize this bug reports/issues? Ideally, with a voting (or +1) system so it's easier to see which ones are the most frequent ones. I don't know if something like this is already being used, but I haven't seen anyone mentioning, so it's worth trying :)

Just an idea!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Senyaka:
This is a very good idea. Just keep in mind testers like myself always keep up to date on the forums and let Will know. :)

You can do that all at once. However don't wipe the sd if you don't have an external with the rom on it, just to be safe.

OK I installed twrp from the beanstalk thread. Now I want to format the entire internal SD card. How do I do that? Do I need an external SD card? Do I keep the ROM in the external or internal SD card if I want to format the internal SD card?

Regards
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Senyaka:
Keep it on the external sd card. You will end up in trouble. In Twrp in wipe, go to advanced, then you can wipe internal from there.

The other thing we could do is ping [MENTION=1303561]willl03[/MENTION] when we need to. Of course he reads everything (or mostly at least) but it may help him to see how many ppl are having issues very quickly.

Sounds to me like the screen wasn't rejecting input while you were on your call and when the call finished, all the input that your ear had created was actioned. Did the proximity sensor kick in and blank out the screen?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sapps:
Here is the reality of the situation. The thread you are in right now was intended for the purpose of which you spoke. There technically is supposed to be no other chatter or posts in this thread besides bug reports with logcats attached.

Xda created a q&a section where a thread should be started for each developed ROM and all chatter; ex.. thanks and appreciation and general questions, would go.

However, that became impossible to enforce and so they have basically just let go.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] pcriz:
So this is the wake lock I am getting. Maybe others can confirm whether or not they are getting the same with better battery stats. There are quite a few threads on it but in the short time I researched I found no definitive resolution. One gentleman did mention he believed it was caused by Voice+ so I removed mine and will report back with details.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] willl03:
Tbh it wouldn't be fun if the thread was all serious and focus on bug reporting, hopefully there's more than that :)

I read all posts and issues but you guys have to be conscious of the root of the problems

It goes down to the fact that Note 2 has a Samsung exynos platform like the international S3, unlike nexus and qualcomm based devices AOSP isn't easy to make run on it. It was done well at first but the CM devs aren't focusing on it, since CM11 we have more issues deep down the device tree, be it with camera, sensors, etc.

I build the EXACT same rom for Note 2, Note 3 and 2013 nexus 7, and unfortunately Note 2 is the only one with issues. *Not because of the rom or my build or tweaks, but because of CM code specific to this device*

This rom has more features than pure CM but under the hood in rom and kernel it's 99% the same

And that is beyond my reach, keep in mind I don't even have a Note 2 to try nor the time or skills to fix a whole device tree that needs a serious overhaul

Best thing to do is probably to make some noise to CM, but probably they already know
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sapps:
Willl,

I completely agree and by no means was I saying that the thread should change. As you know i've been using your ROM's for quite some time and I love the atmosphere in this thread. The person I quoted was basically asking for a place that we could use just for bug reports, and so I was trying to convey that this was technically XDA's intent for this thread. So it wouldn't make sense to start something else for that purpose.

Anyway, I probably would have been better to have just said as a reply. "Willl and his testers follow the thread very closely and see the issues as they are posted. If the issue is something Willl can work on then he does so, if the issue is something CM related or base related then Willl lets us know that it is beyond his control." Better? :)

air command

Absolutely love this rom, especially the way the notifications work with the lockscreen and Halo. For some reason I can't get the lenova super camera & gallery working (loved this camera).Only thing missing to make this a perfect daily user would be great if it had the air command and s-pen stuff (like in the DN3 rom). Is there a way to add these features or they have to come with the rom?

thanks

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] hikaricloud:
So I'm having some issues that I assume have something to do a about me restoring messaging app data/settings from my previous rom but I wanted to run it through here.

I just moved from CleanROM ACE 5.0 (4.1.2 based). Used TB to back up text messages and the like. Since CR is a stock-based rom it used the Samsung style default messaging app. After restoring said texts, neither the current default messaging or third party sms apps will work, they crash immediately. Trying to see what my options are here, I'm thinking about restoring from my nan backup and backing the messages up differently just to avoid issues, but if I can avoid doing that I'd be ecstatic. Any thoughts?

EDIT: Since I posted this I did another factory reset to test out if it did it with dialer/sms storage or prefs, and it does it with storage. Also call logs don't show up after restore.

Also getting a force close on xda (no restore from backup, just fresh install).

Anyone getting FC when trying to attach videos to messages (at least in Handcent SMS and Whatsapp). Attaching images works fine though. And recording a video from those apps also works, it's just attaching a video file that doesn't. I'm on a cleanly flashed (and SD formatted) v37

Okay, so I think I've figured out my problem. Since I came from 4.1.2 and never updated to 4.3, I'm still running the LJ2 bootloader, which I need to have at least MJ4, right? Combing through this thread I found a link to this:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48935684&postcount=1

Am I correct in thinking I need to use Odin to flash the MJ4 bootloader? I've never used Odin before so I'm unfamiliar.

Also, for backing up texts/call logs/etc, should I use a different method than TB since I'm coming from 4.1.2?

I found that Bluetooth cuts in and out when I have WiFi on and the system detects an open wifi. When I leave home and make sure to disable WiFi Bluetooth works flawlessly if I leave WiFi on every time I pass a place with an open connection Bluetooth cuts out then cuts back in. I don't know if this is connected to the notification I get when I get close to an open WiFi or not but I assume it is. I think Bluetooth stops playing to notify you but since there is no sound connected to the WiFi notifications it simply cuts out then cuts in again after. I will try to get a logcat of it if it will help.

sorry i was going to go into detail but got hung up into something else

the proximity sensor works it turns the phone off fine but when i bring my phone away from my ear sometimes i need to turn it back on with the button. idk if room lighting is the issue.

also one time i was in a call and pulled the phone away from my ear and the screen went crazy and pushed all kinds of buttons and stuff

i'm using the standard kernel i think

Use sms backup and restore. No need to change your boot loader. There is also another app that saves your call logs but I forgot the name of it. Tb can be funny when moving from different versions of android.

I don't have to update the bootloader at all? I've had other issues like xda force closing without restoring it, fresh ROM and fresh install from the play store, figured it could be issues with having an old bootloader...so basically, try installing the ROM again using the different backup solutions, then if I keep running into issues look into updating the bootloader?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Senyaka:
Yes. If the xda app fc, clear the data on the app. I've never updated my boot loader and run things just fine. Just keep in mind even though tb is good, when moving to different versions of android it's probably best to a fresh install.

Sent from a Kaiju killing Jaeger
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] hikaricloud:
Yeah, I was planning on doing as fresh an install as possible, there's only a couple apps I would like to save data for. I grabbed that sms backup app you mentioned (the same guy makes a call log one as well) and they both get saved as xml files so I know it should actually work this time lol.

Like I said, the xda app was crashing while viewing threads right after install from the play store, all I did was log in and view the threads. Was kinda weird. Either way, I've severely modified my TB backup to only include a couple things, and I'm going to spot test restoring those items and start from scratch everywhere else.

I did have one question, I see most people use the Devil kernel in this thread due to gyroscope issues, but has anyone used NEAK with this? I had been wanting to try it out instead of Perseus on my old ROM but since I'm updating it got shelved. What pros are there for using Devil over something like NEAK or stock? (Not including the gyroscope fix that is)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Senyaka:
You can restore data for games and similar things and you shouldn't have issues. Don't know why the xda app was like that though, as for kernel, neak hasn't been updated to 4.4.+ as far as I know. Right now there is really only devil and agni kernel. See how the stock one goes for you first. Not everyone is having these issues. Imo I think agni gives a smoother experience than devil, but I'm on stock right now.

Did you dirty flash the latest version over the last ??

Also....I use devil kernel...and a good number of sensor issues went away for me after flashing it...

I'm not saying the baked in kernel isn't good....but devil combined with this rom is absolutely my daily driver...

Best advice: clean flash the rom and load devil kernel....also...I do use the paranoid android gapps full package for KitKat....g

And a recommendation for you, if you want to back up app data, I have found that helium works very well and allows you to save your backups to a google drive account as well so you do not have to worry about accidentally wiping your backups.

I use it to backup my call logs and sms data as well as other random apps and games that I do not want the data reset every time I flash. Just another thought to keep in mind.

Does S Pen work?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mashuto:
Basic input works fine with no modifications. If you are talking about airview or gestures, then no, not out of the box.

However, there are apps you can get to give you some of that functionality back. I prefer GMD Spen. It gives attach and detch detection as well as gestures (and more).

Seems like everything is working out so far, was able to restore sms and call logs with no random crashes (just a persistent notification about having almost 2k new texts rofl...), haven't run into any issues yet. Really liking the smoothness of this rom.

I've tried helium before, specifically for my wife's phone since it wasn't rooted...couldn't get it working. Maybe it was a device thing but eh. I may give it a shot again in the future though, thanks for the advice.

So the only thing I'm really missing now are some of the gestures my stock-based rom had. I see you can get GMD SPen for the attach/detach settings, but is there anything to get back the swipe-to-screenshot gesture? I do a lot of screenshots. :(

And of course there's an update going up right after I spent the last couple of days trying to get this one installed rofl. I have the best timing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mashuto:
Helium for me always asked for root, so maybe it just works better with root, but I have never had any issues with it except the occasional backup that refuses to restore.

GMD gives you most of the gestures back with the ability to make your own... However I have not found a way to be able to take a screen shot with it. It says that is only supported on samsung roms.
