4.4 TW seems like a bit of a nightmare. I've never seen a release with the factory radio have so many issues for so long.

I'd love to see you do it, but I wouldn't bother unless you've got a LOT of time to throw at it.

Good luck with the new job.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jnewberry1:
Your blaming the new nd7 radio on the 4.4.TW? That's makes 0 sense as you can flash a diff modem. But the 4.4 official release deodex version is the best ROM that has ran on my phone to date. Just don't understand all the hate on KK. I don't have any problems. I know there was a external SD problem but that's been fixed. Correct me if I'm wrong. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tomnj1961:
I also don't see the problem with 4.4.2 TW. I have been on it for a month now,with ND7. I did have issues with the stock kernel at first, but once I switched to AGNi, everything worked great. Been solid and fast. Battery life is OK. I also have not had any issues with a ton of customizations i have done since. Even things like stopping wake lag and increasing animation/windows scale to .25 have gone smooth. I would recommend KK for sure.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DrunkUncas:
Yeah guys, the 4.4 TW threads are full of experienced flashers, jumping through some pretty formidable hoops- and failing to get a functional ROM .

Usually when we get a Verizon ROM, with it's associated radios and factory kernels like we got this time, things are much more stable, for many more users. Furthermore, due to the age of the N2, most of the development studs have moved on, so the man hours aren't being devoted to getting things perfect.

I wasn't trying to start a debate on the merits of 4.3 v 4.4, simply giving Trent my opinion, which is pretty simple; If you're going to jump into the 4.4 game, you'd better pack a lunch.

I get it. 4.4 TW works very well, on a very large number of phones. For others, through no fault of their own, and for no explicable reason, it doesn't. Please don't post the ad hominem attack or strawman argument you've been composing in your head for the last minute. I'm begging you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
All valid points. And I agree.. I haven't experienced any issues running KK, but Ive been snooping around XDA and just sounds like people are either restoring an old Alliance backup or B7 backup... Like I mentioned in my last post, if my schedule permits, I will see what's best for TrentsROM development.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wog81:
Hey Trent, I tried Krowely's 4.4.2 KK with no issues b4 coming back to B6 (that version plays the best with my phone)...hope you build a 4.4.2 ROM as your ROMs have always play nicely with my phone. Thx for all your work!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] glockman4519:
I've tried the 4.4 roms and they function, they are just plain. Nothing like Trent's roms or Alliance. It's like the cool factor has left. The only rom I saw in 4.4 that was like this one or build 26 was Alliances and it was for the note 3.

I don't get it. The note 2 has apparently been relegated to the "has been" pile and therfore only dedicated devs are still working on it. But you look at the threads for the Motorola DROID RAZR and they are still building new roms for it and this was one of my first android phones.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
I will more than likely drop a build 8 just for the flashing addicts and those lingering around 4.3. It won't be 4.4 (Ehhhh) but an updated 4.3 with more updated inverted apps, More KK theming, etc. Opinions?

Just curious does anyone use DU battery saver? It has been working great for me.

Inverted from TrentsROM i605
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mdbowman:
Would love to see a build 8 if you have the time man. My battery lasts forever. Not sure why I would need the DU battery saver. One app you packaged a while back has became a favorite. I really like the timely alarm clock app. Also, I always preferred the AOSP blue look, but can learn to like the KK theme. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
I can do both themes. Its no biggie. I'll keep timely on the side for Build 8. Maybe post the latest apk in the OP.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mdbowman:
Thanks for sharing! Can't wait! I may actually flash my phone for the first time in a while. Haven't needed to as I thought everything was perfect, but this changelog looks enticing! I hope to see the background with the dark leaves and blue drops on it. Favorite background since using a smartphone several years back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DrunkUncas:
Yeah, we're in a bad place right now.

CM is junk on 4.4. Liquid, SlimKat and their ilk have wildly variable battery drains on different phones. They work great on my phone; as long as I don't leave the house.

The 4.4 TWs are slow, buggy, huge, and as you say, plain. It seems like we're losing a developer a week. The quality man hours required to polish 4.4 TW simply aren't being put in.

I'm just about ready to install one of Trent's ROMs and leave XDA until I get my next phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DarkChylde-QC:
To Trenton's credit, I'm still rocking his Build 5. AOSP-themed, deodexed, awesome battery life, STABLE, and quicker than any other TW-based ROM that I've tried. I also like the straight-forward configuration options that he built into it. Basically, simplicity at its best. With all of the challenges that the 4.4 ROMs have experienced with battery life and SD card usability issues, I just plan on staying with Trenton's build. Not caring about Note 3 functionality, I honestly haven't seen anything that would draw me away from it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bambamishere:
1000+ for Build 8,been on a 4.4.4 rom and can't wait to get back on your Rom:highfive::good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] glockman4519:
Thanks Oh Trent, for hanging around and giving us N2 owners hope for a better phone experience. I am looking forward to B8.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kdizzleh85:
Can't wait man. Enjoying B7 on the note 2 and the new alliance build 1 on the note 3 also. Great work by you and the team. I am right now trying to mod the messaging apk to be that of the s5 with pop up and the shortcuts option. For some reason the messaging apk on B7 is not letting me open photos. Maybe you have some advice

Edit...I got a the Sec.mms to work, well it allows me to open and save pictures i received now but sending pictures by messaging causes a FC. My knowledge of .odex = null
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
Delete the .odex file. Reboot. And then flash this themed SecMMS

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] toskabab:
Great job once again Trent. This rom is sweet.

Btw, I totally disagree with the above comment. The great thing about your roms are that they are void of extra fluff.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MADDAN18:
Hey Trent,

Great ROM (as always) but it appears that exchange server setting under the email app is starting to rear is ugly head again. I try to connect to my corporate email and it connects just fine, but when it tries to verify the security settings, it keeps kicking back that it needs to "verify the settings" in a consistent loop...

As I remember correctly, the B5 ROM had an email client that worked flawlessly with the exchange. But in prior posts, people where having problems with that client not related to the exchange problem, just problems in general?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mdbowman:
Anyone got a mirror? I have a 60+Meg connection and it's crawling... I mean crawling.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
I'm using a corporate email as well and I have to use the Exchange security bypass module for xposed to access your mail.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RemnantKing2:
Awesome thank you, take your time!

I can't get over how smooth this is running! I love how the DPI looks, I just don't like how some things work differently when they're that size, so I am back at 320 for now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mdbowman:
FYI - have you setup those few apps to run at 320 and leaving the dpi the way it was? I always change phone, camera, and a couple of other apps to 320 as they look a little different if I don't. But I prefer the overall look at 270 where he's got it set at out of the box.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Znomon:
Ohh_Trenton I have used a lot of GN2 roms and I was a strict Jelly Beans user, but ever since he switched to Alliance and went all "color options" on us and then 4.4 came out, I've been switching around and not a single rom gives me the insane battery yours has given. Over a day and a half and still rocking 40%. Plus AOSP look! Can't get any better than this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RemnantKing2:
I can't believe I forgot about that...that's exactly what I'll do.

Thank you :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mdbowman:
No problem. Just remember xposed framework has to be installed and you have to reboot after enabling the module in xposed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nlysurferdude03:
Has anyone had any issues sending specific sms's? I'm trying to reply to USPS for text alerts and it's failing to send and a force close. I've tried the messaging app bundled with this Rom, and also tried via hangouts with no success. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks :)

**EDIT** Also, when the force close comes up, service drops then reconnects as well. I can still send and receive sms and mms just fine though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
It looks like you flashed the JellyBean theme. I had to reupload a fixed version of that the same day I released it. Flash B8.. Reboot system and then reboot back into recovery and flash the updated jellybean theme again. Sorry for the inconvenience. I ran into the same issue.

Only one thing I have noticed. I tried flashing the mod you posted earlier in the thread to switch back to the touchwiz launcher and it didn't work. Still on aosp, and no option to switch in the settings.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mdbowman:
TouchWiz Launcher or lock screen? I flashed the lock screen and it's working fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nlysurferdude03:
Unfortunately it still happens on a fresh install with a full wipe, without flashing a theme. Any other thoughts?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pmsrefugee:
I installed expose and rebooted. Then installed app settings module and rebooted. Open app manager but it doesn't have the settings shown in the app settings screen shot on their support page. I don't think there is a separate app for this. Was a clean install but tried the jellybean theme and then the kitkat theme. Had to dirty flash to stop Google voice to text to stop crashing when setting up Utter! How do I get app settings to work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tulalhyt:
just read this "new" rom :), looks great to me :D

just asking, is it mean there is no spen function enabled by hovering over the screen like air control command menu, Action Memo, Scrapbooker, Screen Write, S Finder, and Pen Window ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dcs3473:
Is anyone running B8 having issues with Google Drive? No matter what I try and do to get in installed, remove, reinstall, restore it fails to run.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
If youre talking about the touchwiz launcher, it still works. If you're talking about the lock screen, read the post after yours.

Without flashing any theme? I don't know what's going on over there then. I have been texting all dayy with no FCs. Try changing your android codename to REL in the build prop. Read my last comment in this post. Worth a try...

No not in this ROM.

Change your codename in the build.prop to REL. that should remove those Google drive issues.

Here you go man, as promised
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nlysurferdude03:
Thank you very for the suggestions, I changed the codename to REL, but no change in the sending of that particular message. I can send and receive normal sms and mms texts just fine, it's only happening when I try to reply "YES" to this USPS text they sent me, so I can get updates of shipments via text. As soon as I press send with a response of "yes", the "process com.android.phone has stopped" force close happens, the service bars cut out then come back and everything is fine again, but it still says "sending" on that message and never actually sends.

I mean I guess it could be a problem with the United States Postal Service's website, and not with the Rom? Maybe it's rejecting the message somehow? Everything else is flawless and have not had any other issues beyond this one. Not a huge deal, but if amazon, ebay, my banks or any other website that has any sort of authorization process like this, I don't want to be screwed not being able to reply with "yes" "no" or "stop" to these sort of services. If there is anything else I can do to try and help you figure out what this issue might be, I'd be glad to help, just let me know what you need me to do. Thanks again and I really appreciate the help! At least texting actual human beings works!! :highfive:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mdbowman:
What settings are you looking for? Have you tried Settings > Display > Per App DPI? That should open up "app settings".
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pmsrefugee:
Bingo! That's what I was looking for. I must missed that looking at the support site. I looked in the other 2 app managers and didn't think to look under display. Thank you
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kdizzleh85:
Great as expected

Thanks again for keeping the support with the note 2 and for all the time updating this Rom. 4.3 is still the build on the note 2 for me. Until TA releases kitkat!!! Now I just need the note 4 to drop already!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
Who all is going to the Note 4? I'm overdue for an upgrade and plan on saving it for the next big thing. I DONT want a locked down phone but it hasn't looked to bright for us rebels.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] audiophizile:
Tough to say right now, I'm in the same boat. It is discouraging with devices being more and more locked down. I've even thought of switching providers as some have more unlockable devices. Other than that I like that s5 is waterproof and have been considering that but don't know if I want to downsize my screen...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kdizzleh85:
I'm hoping You and some other from TA. I'm also hoping to talk Mijjah in getting goodness rom back in business! Chris Bucalos of course, he is always willing to help out and has helped me learn a lot. I'm hoping it's all they say it will be. The 3rd screen on the side would be awesome. Nexus 6 or G3 also look nice but I'm a Samsung fan but only if we can customize and get some roms etc. Time will tell.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bambamishere:
Nexus 6 or G3, Note 4 is what I am looking at too.

If I upgrade at all, because this phone is still way awesome, it will be to the newest note series.

But I have to say that this rom is perfect. I like the theme capability you added into it and the layout. Well done and thank you again.

As I said before we are losing good devs way to fast and this phone is still top of the line.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jewnersey:
Very interested in trying this but is there anyway to go back to non-blacked out gapps?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
Does anyone know if the Nexus 6 will come to Verizon? I've read mixed reports about that... No one mentioned the iPhone phablet or are we all afraid to admit that? Its okay. I don't judge :)

Yes it is

Yes. You can uninstall the blacked out apps and install normal versions via play store or from online. Or I can make a non inverted package when I get home tonight

Edit: question about the s5 version. Is it the same thing but s5 styled or Is it a different base entirely
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] audiophizile:
Is the nexus 6 confirmed to be that moto shamu massive device? Verizon's only had 1 nexus phone (I think?) so I'd guess not but ya never know. I hope the trend catches on with the whole waterproof thing though.

Newer modems work on this Rom but I'm unlocked and not using safestrap and I'm not familiar with safestrap on note 2. If it's like the note 3 safestrap you should be good. It's the kernels that are not supported.

1.) A HUGE thank you for this ROM. It is perfection IMO. Can't really say a lot as far as what I would want changed.

2.) I have one tiny issue... Not a big one, but curious if you have a fix. When using navigation and it goes to "speak" the upcoming directions, the text to speech force closes. It still speaks and works fine, but I have to click on the OK button which I'd prefer not to have to do. I am using Google's TTS and not Samsung as I can't stand the samsung one. Any ideas?
