I don't have any experience with lightflow, but I agree this is running wicked on my phone :)

I had a bad experience this morning though. I had it on the armrest of the couch... knocked it off and it feel on it's face and cracked the screen... was hoping the ROM would self-heal the phone but that was a no-go. Anyone have any good experiences with cell phone repair shops replacing the screens? Thinking about trying one out. Any tips for how to keep this from happening in the future? I'm not a huge fat otterbox fan or anything like that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JustinKurey:
I made the mistake of attempting to replace the screen myself after watching multiple videos and reading multiple how to's and what not, still managed to break the lcd sensitizer and had to call verizon and tell them i lost my phone in a lake and needed a replacement :good: since then i've been wondering the same thing you are, i've heard about cellphone repair shops replacing screens depending on materials they have available and how badly damaged it is ranging from $50-100 unfortunately i have no proof of this and don't know of a place that does it i've just heard all of that information from word of mouth, so i'm of no help unfortunately. if i ever figure out a place that could replace my "lost phone's" screen then i'd have 2 working note 2s! ha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
Damn. I could give you a site to go to. Maybe check out mobiletechvideos.com . I think it would be around $100 as well. I didn't add the self heal mod into this. Maybe beans rom has it. No but I sent my bricked note 2 to them and they legit fixed it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mdbowman:
I see the site you referred does this for $125. I live in Greenville, SC and we have several cellphone repair shops around. I have 2 quotes thus far. One for $179 and one for $120. They both said it would take a couple of hours and they have the stuff in stock. I may drop it off at the $120 place and hope for the best. I dropped the asurian insurance on the phone a while back thinking that by the time I spend close to 10 bucks a month on insurance and then close to 100 for a replacement, I could buy a replacement online for close to that price and I'd take my chances. Never damaged a smart phone before and now within 24 hours both my wife and I cracked our screens... crazy. Sorry for the off-topic and thanks for the replies guys.

question on fonts

Hey guys,

I noticed that there are some fonts that come preinstalled that don't work for some odd reason it says that it's incompatible and will be uninstalled but because they are baked in it just does nothing. Will using the Odexed version of the ROM make a difference?

Edit: Nope, that didn't work, got the same results. Is there a Xposed module or something like that? I have my own font apk file that I am trying to install but it is showing incompatible. Any ideas? [MENTION=2585040]Ohh_Trenton[/MENTION]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
I hate the bulk of otterboxes but it's time like "the arm rest fall" or "drop it on the pavement" that I am so thankful. My phone is in brand new condition underneath.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] viper31573:
I'm very happy with my battery life now. 13 hrs. 2.5 hrs screen time

Still at 45%
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kude87:
Is that with or without the ZWL? I always use it and still get really good battery. Seems like a solid tradeoff...bit less battery for the near instant screen on. When I get home for the day I'm still usually above 50% and I use my phone a lot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Grant Barker:
What date was build 2 released?

Cheers.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bambamishere:
Well the trouble with TWRP must have been in the long file name,I would tap to generate the name for the backup and would get Failed.

I just put Trent for the backup name and it worked,IDK
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] viper31573:
Without.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JustinKurey:
Build 2 (2.11) was released February 11th and then Build 3.5 (which is still titled build 2 on the thread but says 3.5 under downloads) was released March 4th. By the way, well done on your website, not sure if you update that thing a lot but it's nice to have an organized website with available roms as well as dates they were updated. Been looking for a website like that without manually looking through XDA myself.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Grant Barker:
Thanks Justin,

It looks like I chose the right date then. (Some ROM threads include the date, which makes updating lists easier or quicker.)

Cheers for your comment about the site. The ROM lists are updated at least weekly. The DHD section was updated daily for 2 years, but with 3 lists now (and a busier lifestyle nowadays) I strive for at least weekly on all 3 lists. It actually takes a fair few hours, but comments like yours and people hitting the share buttons make it worthwhile.

So, thanks again. :good:

Have a good one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
That is correct. It's labeled 3.5 for the date. However I did have the wrong date. It should be 3.4 for March 4th. My mistake. I'll fix it but it is still build 2 because the toggle and ZWL didn't warrant a new build number. Grant I will have to check out your site when I get home.

EDIT:

[MENTION=3352920]Grant Barker[/MENTION] - Very nice website. I admire all that you have done to it. Very organized and discreet. Bookmarked it for future reference, hope you don't mind!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jnewberry1:
Does anyone's wallpaper keep getting reset to what the default comes with on a reset? Maybe it's just when I do a cache and davlik but it resets on mine. Sorry if this has been discussed already. :cowboy:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kude87:
I always get that when clearing cache and dalvik with TiBu, but not from recovery. Most likely is the cache clearing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kdizzleh85:
Exactly. You are absolutely right here. The auto generated name in TWRP backup needs to be changed or it will fail. A bug I thought would be fixed by now. I use cwm now and no problems yet. I do miss TWRP a little bit

---------- Post added at 06:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:19 PM ----------

Papaphonefix.com is the place to go to fix screens and all that come with it. I have had a few people use this site and all had their phones back asap, paying only like 50ish bucks for the note 2 screen and led/digi replacement but I know his regular prices are not over like 60 bucks for the newer phones. He's a good friend and with TN. He's been doing it for a long time and has a couple stores I think now. Quick shipping and a good guy. He can fix any phone out there. If anyone needs repairs let me know and I'll get you in touch with him.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DarkChylde-QC:
I'm having the same problem with the font picker. It will only allow you to pick from the Default font (which I'm assuming is the Droid Serif Italic), Choco cooky, Cool jazz, Rosemary, and Samsung Sans. What's weird is that I flashed a zip of Alliance fonts - they all show in the /system/fonts folder - but they don't show up within the font picker list at all. I also installed a couple of individual font apk files - and they show both in /data/app as well as within the font picker - but I get the same error message that coolpoete got, incompatible/will be uninstalled. Does anyone know of a way to expand the list of valid, usable fonts via the font picker? Or any other way of getting specific fonts applied to the system?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] viper31573:
This isn't specific to this rom but just wondering if anyone might know why that my browser defaults don't stick. Every time I press a link it asks me which browser I want to use and if I want to use it once or always.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mdbowman:
Maybe you are uninstalling/installing browsers? Any time a new app is registered with the same intent it will prompt you again.

Thanks. I may hit them up if this doesn't work out. Local prices the cheapest I got was $120. I went to pick it up today and when I set it on his table the phone powered off. Testing it out even with the charger if you bump the top of the phone pretty good it shuts off... this was a tiny drop so I know it wasn't the drop... not sure how to hold this repair guy/shop responsible for something like this though. Going to post something over in the q&a section now. I see beans has his note 2 on swappa. Maybe I'll just do that instead.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kdizzleh85:
Np. If ya need to get in touch let me know. Good luck man.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] coolpoete:
Sophisticated ROM has this (issue) as well, can't install other font, beans roms don't seem to have this problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
I use the fonts from this zip. https://www.dropbox.com/s/5q0wewrjivk6lgu/Font.zip..

Note this isn't flashable. Just extract the zip and install normally

And they all work. Some fonts are not compatible with 4.3. But the ones that aren't supported are probably fonts from 4.1. Don't know why they are in there but just delete it from system

Actually it just came to me... sophisticated was the base for this rom so if it had it in there then that's why it's present now. So just delete it from system
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DarkChylde-QC:
Thanks so much for responding, Trenton. At work right now, but will definitely give your zip a try once I get home. Bar-none, you've got the best blacked-out, AOSP-themed ROM I've come across in a WHILE. It works - beautifully and smoothly - and has easily become my daily driver. THANK YOU for sharing this with us.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ufkal:
I'm pushing ringtones and notifications to the archive before flashing the rom. I'm hoping this will keep my notifications and ringtones from disappearing and not working. This is not a rom specific issue, and I'm begining to suspect my SD card may be slightly to blame.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ganggreen777:
Will you be adding air command in the future?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] drahpatel02:
Is it safe to flash agni or devil kernel to this rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mdbowman:
My bet is not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jnewberry1:
I just pulled the alliancefonts from beans and place in system/apps. It didn't install automatically like everything you put in that folder does but clicking on it gave me a successful install.

Sent from my SCH-I605
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DarkChylde-QC:
Nice, tip jnewberry1! Would you also have a link to that AllianceFonts.apk file?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jnewberry1:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ae9d33626ml02a5/AllianceFonts.apk

There ya go.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DarkChylde-QC:
Many thanks, bud! Can't help but say how helpful everyone has been to one another in this thread!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kude87:
Is multi-window supposed to be transparent?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] coolpoete:
Sorry for the ignorant question here but when i place the file in the folder and click on it I get a parsing error..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DarkChylde-QC:
After I got home last night, I tried the same installation method. I didn't get the parsing error you encountered, but once installed, the fonts didn't work (same problem that we both experienced before). At least with the file that Trenton shared with us, it gives us more variety. I'm just still at a loss for the HattoriHanzo font that I've been using for quite a while now. I can't seem to find a version that works on this 4.3 ROM (came from Beans 22 on 4.1.2).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jnewberry1:
Move it to the system folder, change permissions, then push it into system/apps

Sent from my SCH-I605
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kude87:
Anyone on the transparent multi-window?

Also, when I'm looking at Google maps and moving, my GPS is laggy. It looks like I'm hopping down the road, and doesn't move smoothly. Anyone else? I highly doubt it is a rom thing, just curious if anyone else has ever had this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mdbowman:
GPS in google maps running smooth here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kude87:
Good to know, I appreciate it!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Syns:
How do I found out if I have the updated version?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] viper31573:
If you have torch you have the latest.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] viper31573:
The results of me being sick today. 17 hrs and a little under 2 hrs screen time. I'm at 64%. Love the battery life. Now to get rid of this cold. It sucks getting a cold when you live in a warm climate
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Syns:
I'm having lots of FC issues.. just installed new update over old build. Right off the bat I get FC on clock then Google home launcher FC and never came back... rebooted and still no Google home launcher. FC on contacts.. does anyone know why?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
If dirty flash equals issues. Then wipe and fresh flash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bambamishere:
Try wipe all, internal memory also, clean flash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
That's what I just said. Lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bambamishere:
Maybe bad download, IDK
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kude87:
I've noticed my recent calls are futher down under "older" and the older ones are actually at the top under "newer." I'll dirty flash if nobody else noticed this. Can someone report?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DarkChylde-QC:
I clean flashed between version 2 and version 2.5; my recent calls are showing in the proper places under the 'Newer' and 'Older' sections.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kude87:
Thanks. I cleared the log and did some testing, seems it is logging calls correctly. Not sure what the deal was before.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mdbowman:
Everyone must be settling in to this now. No issues to report here. Rom is flawless as my dd. Curious if anyone out there is using agni instead of stock kernel in this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kude87:
I am. And I'm liking it thus far. Seems equally responsive and I feel like I'm getting a bit better battery life. Of course, it depends how you set up your kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WeThePeople13:
I used Agni on the previous build. Worked great and I am itching to use it on this build just have not done it on the current build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DrunkUncas:
Any chance of getting an option for zero wake lag?

This might be the smoothest 4.3 I've tried. I love it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DarkChylde-QC:
See if the previous version of this ROM is available; it was 2-28 I THINK(can't remember the exact day; was sometime after the initial release). It has the zero- wake lag built into it. Just be sure to do a CLEAN FLASH before hand, otherwise you'll have problems (given the nature of the changes Trenton had to make in order to remove the ZWL).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
I'll put together a zip if you are still interested.

I may release a transparent theme. Just a flashable theme on the side. I think that would be cool.

After playing around with full screen secphone... I now prefer the original secphone from build 1 so if you're on odex and want the old secphone, just drop build 1's secphone into /system/app after fixing permissions and delete the secphone.odex file from /system/app.

Regarding the dialer I can see that missed calls go under the older category. That is a function of the app & touch wiz combined. I will look Into modifying it so it can read "Missed/Older" if it is bugging a lot of you.

LookOut

Just wiped all,internal mem also clean flash,after setup google restored apps rebooted,LookOut Security did a scan found 13 Threats Detected,this is the first time this has happened,anyone know whats up?:confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
I was curious about this so I decided to run a test. From what I am gathering it is adding the font apks that are not compatible with 4.3 as a threat. My assumption is because they are not compatible so there is a file in the apk not agreeing to a file in the software running on the phone.

It also looks like it includes any modified app. Like any apk I themed or any blacked out/modified apps you guys flash. So right off the bat, play store, gmail, messaging, chrome, etc are gonna be found in that list. Also any app not originally shipped with 4.3. I removed SecEmail and put in AOSP EMAIL and it found that as a threat. My guess is Aosp Email obviously wasn't originally made for touchwiz. Its an AOSP app. But very interesting observations
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bambamishere:
Been on this build for a while and it didn't happen until I flashed aokp which didn't show up on it but it's when I restored this rom from a backup is when Lookout found the threats, IDK, lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] manbat:
Lookout even shows APKs stored on SD as a threat...I just exclude APKs I know to be "good" from the scan.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pgzerwer:
Lookout is finding all kinds of stuff after most recent app update that is showing as "riskware ", including any XPosed stuff. If you recognize it and it never gave you problems before, just mark to be ignored.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] viper31573:
Not familiar with lookout but Malwarebytes finds nothing

What I did,lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] brandonhatty:
Well here I am with my at&t G Flex missing you guys:( I knew the phone was still locked down but I didn't realize how much I was going to miss my Note 2 and this Rom. I'm pretty happy with the at&t coverage. If things don't happen soon over here i'll be getting ahold of you Trenton to port this over to my at&t note 2:)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DarkChylde-QC:
Hmmmmm, AT&T coverage you say? I'm contemplating dropping Big Red at the end of the year, buying a new flagship unlocked, then going StraightTalk or AIO/Cricket on AT&T's network. What's your sense of signal strength between your Note 2 and your G Flex? Do you get good reception inside large buildings?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] brandonhatty:
I actually get better signal strength across the board. I don't know if it's at&t or the G flex but so far killer! I live in the tip of Michigan and good reception is hard to come by. So far it's better than big red... where I live anyways. Do love this phone. The curved screen is really nice to look at.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DarkChylde-QC:
Thanks for sharing - and very good to hear. Guess I have much to look forward to, shopping-wise, at the end of this year! Just have to start setting unlocked phone money to the side - and knock a BUNCH of stuff off the honey-do list to get the wife's approval...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
[MENTION=2790071]desertopal[/MENTION], Thank you Mr. Wade! Hope you are truly enjoying this rom.

[MENTION=5038850]brandonhatty[/MENTION] - I'd be glad to help you get Trent'sROM on your AT&T Note 2. Just let me know when you are ready.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] marcell6492002:
Hey Trent. Hows that Transparent theme coming on along?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wog81:
+1 to the above post:) looking forward to the transparent theme.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mdbowman:
I for one LOVE the black. If you want to theme certain apps go out and grab them from team black out as they have several transparent apps. Still loving this ROM by the way... I have had 2 times in the past 2 weeks that my phone wouldn't turn on and did a battery pull... but I do NOT contribute this to the ROM as it did not happen prior to me dropping my phone and getting my screen replaced. I still think something is up with it... but I'm willing to put up with it instead of spending a ton of money on a new phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DarkChylde-QC:
Looks like the latest round of G-apps killed the black theming for each that was updated. I know I can re-install the system partition using the zip file for this Rom to get them back. But to maintain the black theme, should I just break the market link for those applications using TB? Or is there a simpler, more effective way that would allow me to continue receiving the functional updates being made to the G-apps AND to maintain the black theme for each?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wog81:
Welp Trent... It is a mark of the awesomeness of the ROM that this thread is so silent:) been running build 2 since you dropped it and it's taken wing and flown ever since with no problems. THANK YOU SIR!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mdbowman:
I was going to say the same thing. I am LOVING build 2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
Looks like the 3 of us are the remaining few. Still running Build 2 myself && lovin' it. No matter what other rom I try, THIS is home..By far my favorite rom for 4.3. && i promise im not saying it because it's my rom. I've tried every single rom && it doesn't last over an hour. I keep coming home. Oh well. :o:D

Transparency has been a challenge fyi. Can't get it to cooperate.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ufkal:
I still run it. I flip around from ROM to ROM and always come back. The black and simplicity is what makes it great!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rod_ol_fo:
Just installed it through safestrap and I'm lovin it man. Thanks for your hard work! Only thing that isn't working for me is SwiftKey beta, playstore SwiftKey works perfectly though

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JustinKurey:
Just being completely honest, if I wasn't wanting note 3 features so bad I wouldn't be on the N3bula rom and I would instead be on this one. This is still my favorite rom (that doesn't include note 3 features) and that is saying a lot. Not even really sure what you could add to a future build that I want. Appreciate your work Trent!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
I go back and forth between this and Alliance. I only use one of the two. All other tw roms don't do anything for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] viper31573:
1st i was gonna go deodex then i saw y ou say odex was snappier. then i started downloading odex, but it says odex will take 3 days to download. back to deodex lol. anyways, thanks for all the work you put into buidling roms

While I love beans Rom...All the extra features seems to have bogged it down a bit. Not as snappy as 22 was. Very interested in this. I love speed so I'm going with odex .. You can still use Xposed + modules on odex correct? Or does it have to be a deodex Rom for Xposed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] italbomber:
Great work as always Trent. A gentleman and a great contributor to this community.

Is there a flashable touchwiz launcher. I've tried every launcher and I just prefer touchwiz. I might be the only one.

Edit: I swear it wasn't in the op earlier and now I see it. Again way ahead of me. It's like you built this just for me!
