Are there any themes out there that we can install?! I had reddrum on my last rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] donnyp1:
Great rom. Real smooth.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MADDAN18:
Running absolutely flawless! Thanks Mickey!

Quick question: knowing how you religiously update to perfection, do we have to flash the new radio via Odin every time we flash a new version of your rom? Or is it a one time flash?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cbrinnny:
It should be a one time flash. I did flash it once and have tried around three different TW 4.3 Roms with no issues using CWM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikeyxda:
Yeah, ROM's don't write to the firmware partitions so you only have to flash the MJ9 firmware once. Then you can flash as many ROMs as you like and it'll stay MJ9 modem.

Mike
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MADDAN18:
Thanks for the f.y.i - quick note: I see the recommendation for CWM. I've been using TWRP and I'm kind of partial to it. The latest 2.6.3.1 has some problems. It Flashes, But With Work arounds. Version 2.6.3.0 works absolutely flawless with all the 4.3's....With zero problems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Aloth600:
Love the zero wake lag....:highfive:

:good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DrunkUncas:
I had no problem flashing with whatshisnutz's CWM. Phil's?

Sorry, I couldn't find it,

Anyway, cwm should work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mlin:
TWRP 2.6.3.0 wool likely work fine. There was a bunch nonsense going around for awhile where people tried to pin the reboot problems on TWRP when this wasn't actually the source of the problem. I haven't flashed this yet, gonna download and flash tomorrow but, I've flashed other 4.3 ROM's with the aforementioned build of TWRP without issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hopesrequiem:
New version showing? 200 mb less? Or still uploading maybe?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] killa408shark:
I noticed version 2 is only 712mb is this correct?

Sent from My Sophisticated Note II Running JB 4.3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bsober:
Downloaded version 2 and it's 930mb.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikeyxda:
That was just AFH being AFH. Uploaded the file 3 times and got anywhere from 230MB to 712MB even though the whole 930MB transferred every time. The 712MB was done after their maintenance last night so I thought that would fix it but apparently not. Fortunately a 4th upload this morning fixed it. The full file is ready now. And hopefully AFH has settled down now.

Mike
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] highwaybandit:
Yeah just downloaded with no problems md5 match thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] krowley3:
I have been having issues with afh as well. I would recommend switching over to xda:devdb and uploading the file or a mirror here. I have not have a bad md5 upload yet using it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] donnyp1:
Haven't done v2 update yet. V1 is stupid fast though. Not a single issue at all. Nice and slim.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mlin:
Exactly what I'm looking for. Diving in now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ffuser1:
will wanam xposed work with this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DrunkUncas:
Just dirty flashed to .2 and still have the old settings.

Options remain the same in Display>Notification Panel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] KGBxxx:
Can we possibly have a patch to get the stock brightness slider and toggles back please :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bsober:
Always read the OP, especially with Mikey's rom's. He's constantly updating it.

Changelog:

0.2

Changes:•Added screen on/off performance and battery tweaks for snappier UI and better battery life

•Build prop tweaks

•Removed stock toggles and brightness slider: use included Power Toggles to customize your own toggles

•Flashable ZIP in /sdcard/MeanBean_Reborn to restore stock toggles/brightness
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikeyxda:
There is no option on that panel to disable the stock toggles so nothing will appear any different on that panel. The stock toggles will just be gone.

Mike
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bsober:
Does anyone have the stock Samsung keyboard apk? Hate not having the secondary characters on the keys.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mlin:
The included Samsung keyboard has secondary characters on my keyboard, unless I''m misunderstanding what you're looking for. But I have long press for a second character on all keys.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bsober:
Okay, thanks. I'll see what happens when I flash version 2 tonight. I did see someone once mentioned the same thing on Sophisticated and after reflashing he had them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] krowley3:
If you are using wanna, there is a setting in there that turns them off by default.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bsober:
Thanks, I installed it, but haven't even checked it out yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bsober:
I'm glad we can flash dirty. Just installed v2 and here's v3. Worth downloading just to get rid of Verizon name on drop down
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] donnyp1:
Dirtied to .3, no issues to report. Besides phone calls coming in during rounds of golf and causing tiger woods to crash, its been flawless.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JasonGeiger:
I dirtied to 03 as well. Note 3 keyboard spen writing input causes the keyboard to force close.

What is the MJ9 File I have to flash before flashing the actual rom? How do I flash it in odin and how do I flash rom from there? Sorry I'm a newb lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] drahpatel02:
Mj9 is the new firmware. It has to be flash to make wifi work with the new 4.3 rom. You need to flash only mj9 with Odin. Than rom should be flash with twrp and not with Odin.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] devildogmp:
How do I flash the file in Odin?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] drahpatel02:
Not able to download the rom. It stops in the middle. Can you post a mirror or torrent? Tried times.

---------- Post added at 09:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:30 AM ----------

1 . download odin to pc

2. Install Samsung mobile drivers to pc.

3. Your phone should be recognized by the pc.

4. Shut down the phone. Restart in download mode. -- hold volume down+menu+power. When prompt volume up.

5. Run odin. Connect phone to pc with usb.If all well, first box in odin window should turn yellow.

6. Tick pda box and browse the firmware file to it.

7. Start and voilla. ... within seconds yellow box turns blue and reads 'pass'

8. Phone will restarts on its own. Disconnect from the pc and you are done.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] devildogmp:
In step 6 you said the firmware that goes with it.. What firmware would it be?

---------- Post added at 03:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:46 AM ----------

And what ROM do you recommend.? I would like one that has some note 3 features.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] drahpatel02:
First page in op. Download section - mj9 file.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] devildogmp:
What rom do you recommend? One that's stable and what not.. Preferably with note 3 features
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] drahpatel02:
N3bula, working perfectly for me with all the notes features.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mlin:
My phone locked up yesterday on the lock screen. Clean flash, wiped everything. I didn't flash anything on top of the ROM. Anyone else experience anything like this? It just happened once so far.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DrunkUncas:
.1 and .2 have been perfect for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikeyxda:
BOOM... we're getting system-wide full color emoji's in 0.4! Took me about 6 hours today but I finally cracked the framework changes to make it happen. Gotta fix that pen FC on the Samsung keyboard and then I'll upload 0.4. Figure on about 5pm eastern time.

Not sure, but do any other MJ9 based ROMs have full color emojis? I don't think so. Don't wanna make a claim though when I haven't checked thoroughly.

Why cant any android rom be made so we see color emoji in apps, web browsers, etc.?

---------- Post added at 12:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 AM ----------

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] broexist:
I just see a blank text box man.. look the emoji isnt in color :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikeyxda:
Emoji is a Japanese font that, like most fonts, are just B/W shapes. Android has supported the true Emoji font for some time (the B/W version). Apple took the Emoji font and colorized the symbols for their iOS. So color Emoji's is an Apple abomination. Of course, people liked it so it expanded. Color Emoji's are standard in KitKat but are new enough in 4.3 that some variants of 4.3 have the color version and some don't. The stock Android 4.3 for the Galaxy S4 has color Emoji's. Our Note 2 does not. But enough of the architecture is there that I was able to activate it for our MJ9 base.

System wide support means that I've enabled the color Emojis at the OS level so that every application that supports Emojis will be able to display them in color. Some apps (like Handcent) have separate color Emoji support so system wide support means that your phone's operating system is color emoji capable and whatever software you put on it that uses Emojis should be able to display them in color. Keep in mind that not all apps WILL display them in color: but they can without the Android OS holding them back now.

Mike
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikeyxda:
See my note above. Not all apps and inputs will use color emojis. Typically input fields like search boxes use the B/W font. Apps like your messaging app, Kik Messenger, and many more will use the color ones. Just depends on the app and the type of display field the text belongs to.

Mike
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] broexist:
Ahh.. I see. I was under the impression that this rom was going to display color emoji. Dont get me wrong though. I loved your 4.1 rom, and I love this 4.3 rom. But the emoji support is no different than what ive been doing for years by pushing a few system fonts and installing an emoji keyboard.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] okoboji1:
How can I get these emojis to show up when I'm texting? Do I need a certain keyboard?!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikeyxda:
No, this is much different and has nothing to do with system fonts or keyboards. The ROM does support color Emoji! Color Emoji support is system-wide meaning that color emoji's now show up in the normal messaging app, the Samsung keyboard, Kik Messenger, and many others. Before I activated color emoji support at the system level, those were all B/W. Now they are color. This is basically the same color Emoji support that KitKat has.

The apps that you are using that show B/W Emojis are not using the system emoji font: they have their own emoji font built into the app and that font is B/W because it bypasses the system font or they are hard coded to use the ttf font! There are advantages to doing that in that it allows display of Emoji even on systems that don't have the font at all. The down side is that it isn't full color like the one supported by your Android OS.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] broexist:
I guess my only other question for you Mike is this: Will we ever see true system wide emoji support on an i605 running 4.3? Or will that only happen on a TW Kitkat rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] killa408shark:
Finally! I was able to download it it took me a while but I got it running. One question I read a few pages back that there was a zip to flash the stock toggles. I don't see it did you removed it mikey?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hopesrequiem:
It's on your sd card. It was created when you flashed the rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kdizzleh85:
Any chance of some more Note3 features being included like air command and n3 notes etc. Thanks for the rom. So far it's been great. We need some more themes around these parts though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] killa408shark:
I flashed version 4 is not there. I know is supposed to appear in the sd that's why I was asking if mikey removed it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hopesrequiem:
For me it is.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] killa408shark:
I don't know why is not there came from sophisticated clean install wiped everything except external sd card
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hopesrequiem:
Yeah Idk bro. Reflash maybe. BTW mike, this version is crazy fast. And power toggles work extremely well with 4.3. Hated them on 4.1.2 but they are flawless now. Great work bro. Dirty flashed from 0.1 and all was well
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wolfeyes30:
See if it's in the rom zip you downloaded. If so...just extract it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] killa408shark:
That did it I don't know why I didn't think of that. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kcadrenalin:
This looks good. Will this rom allow for locks screen security bypass when setting up Microsoft Exchange email?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikeyxda:
Don't know what you are asking. 0.4 already has true system wide (Android OS) color Emoji support. It is the same as the color emoji support on the Note 3 or Galaxy S4. System Emoji support means that it supports color Emojis in base Android control classes (for example TextViews) that are used in all the social media messaging apps which is where you need them. If you are using an app that doesn't use an Android text class and instead uses its own text rendering or is using a custom control (edit window), it'll be black and white because those bypass the Android OS and use a "fallback" font which is the B/W AndroidEmoji.ttf. If you do something like put an Emoji into a Google search box on the Google web page on a Note 3 or an S4, you'll get B/W there too because they aren't using an Android OS text class that supports color Emojis. AFAIK, KitKat doesn't either. Why you'd need color Emoji's in a web search box, I don't know anyway. It works in all the messaging apps where you need them... which the stock ROM(s) do not.

Simply put, if a particular app decides to dig up the B/W AndroidEmoji.ttf font and use it manually in its own custom display controls, there's not a whole lot you can do about that. For "well behaved"/compliant apps, the color Emoji's will work fine.

Seriously dude. This last build is on crack. It's legit flying. The wake lag is FULLY gone. It was about 50% gone on 0.1 but noticeably gone on 0.4 I'm so glad you came back mike.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bambamishere:
+ 1000
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikeyxda:
Thanks. Good to be back. And yeah, wake lag is my pet peeve. I do everything I can to make it as close to zero as possible. The wake lag without my ZWL mod is insane on this phone and I'm surprised they haven't fixed that or at least made a "quick wake" option in the power saving options or something. For me wake lag is 1.5 to 2 seconds on my phone without the ZWL mod (depending on how long the phone sits and other factors).

Maybe we are an anal few who find that intolerable but for me, often times I just wanna read a quick SMS popup and turn the phone back off or type my PIN and pull down the status bar to read a one line "at the bus stop" from one of my kids on Kik. With zero wake lag, I can do that and have the phone off again before the screen even wakes up without it!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmike35:
anyone using devil kernel with this or using just stock? Wanted to know if you felt a difference, I am about to install this for the first time, thanks for the work!

Setup the quick settings/toggles, but they are not appearing in the notification panel drop down. Am I missing something
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] brife:
Same here. Downloaded 04, verified MD5, wiped all but external sdcard. There are no notification panels displaying on the drop down. Settings indicate that there should be though. Maybe I'm missing something?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MADDAN18:
Devil kernel ran great, but I had an issue. (Compared to stock) I noticed under my battery settings a few of my apps where heavily utilizing the battery when not in use. Was the devil kernel the cause? I don't know because I didn't leave it installed long enough to make that full determination. I do know it did stop when I flashed the modem via Oden. If you're not going to dual boot, just stick with stock. Works flawlessly with this Rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wolfeyes30:
You need to setup the Power Toggle app in the app draw or flash the stock toggle zip found in the Mean Reborn folder on your internal SD card.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmike35:
You have to use Power Toggler in app draw

What Toggle Zip? Did it come with the ROM or what folder you talking about, all I see is the 4 roms in the download section of OP

I was able to set these up, my only question now, when I use to long press the icon it would open that setting, is this no more or is there a setting I am overlooking to set this up
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] broexist:
Ok. I'm sorry to keep calling you back into this thread. I'm not challenging you I promise. I just dont get it. Your answers arent hitting the nail on the head because you assume I want color emoji in messaging.. etc. Where I want them is to show inside games. (I.e. players usernames that contain emoji.)

If everything you say is true, how do I see b/w in said apps, but if I flash a KK rom, they display in color. (Storm8 games)

And ^^^ agree with those guys. Rom is dope.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] brife:
Got it, Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikeyxda:
Can someone test this for me...

Pull down your notification bar and locate a notification from some installed app. Long press on that notification and choose "App Info". When the app info screen appears, press the back button and wait about 30 seconds. See if your phone reboots on its own.

Thanks,

Mike
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wolfeyes30:
The stock toggle zip installs to your internal storage when you flash the rom. Mikey has it setup that way so if anyone dislikes the Power Toggle option, they just flash the stock toggle zip. Mikey as always. ..thinking ahead.

Power Toggles I'm assuming? There is an option to long press toggles in the settings of the Power Toggle app. I'm on stock toggles and removed the power toggle app so I can't tell you exactly but there is an option for it

Edit: Its a double tap not long press. Option is in the settings.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] broexist:
No problem here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ffuser1:
i tried this on an app with a persistent notification and an app with notifications that i can clear and i was unable to reproduce this.

great ro mso far. only thing i've noticed is that the soft key backlight isn't disabled in the app 'screen filter' even if i request it be disabled. this worked on sophisticated 2.5 iirc. and for some reason the verge FCs due to a font extraction error, but this also happened in sophisticated 2.5

Mine's not as fast as it was on MB ICE. I'll do a clean install on your next update to see if it opens a little faster.
