lost root

I am still using temasek and have been too busy with school to update to slim.

My wife loved the ROM on my phone and wanted it on her phone. so i switched her phone from MIUI to slim V8.

When MIUI was on her phone i noticed i couldn't boot to recovery using (vol up + power) but i could boot into a recovery using a rommanager apk (witch didn't make since). a few weeks ago i flashed slim V8 and devil kernel on her a phone and haven't looked at it since. Today she asked me if i could update slim and i realized she lost root ??? and i cant boot into recovery to flash slim.

i know this may not be the correct place to ask this. but i know every one here has the same phone and probably knows the quickest and best procedure to get the custom recovery and root back ?

also flashing fresh sucks.... because you have to set up all your accounts, wifi settings, favorite apks, ext. Every time i do a fresh flash its the same boring 3+ hour procedure setting up everything the way i like it. Could anyone give me some advice to make it less painful ?

thanks!

Will that Devils kernel work with this rom?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] numlauf:
i already checked that. and it was okay. I cant even get into recovery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kreateablaze:
Then try flashing the supersu zip in recovery. You didn't lose your recovery. Go to settings, security, advanced reboot...

For me doing a fresh/clean install is a routine, but I still don't know the most painless way to battle the evil forces of the Play Store. I have tried to not sign into Google at all, use an update.zip to get TB installed, and then do the Google stuff last, but... It just doesn't seem to work that great. I wish there was a way to simply STOP the Play Store altogether - would going into the app info and disabling it do the trick? Telling it to stop sure doesn't.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Unknownkj:
[MENTION=5166755]kaibosh99[/MENTION] during the set up wizard when asked for Google account, press no and skip it. Sign in your Google account when you are at the main page/playstore. This will stop the pesky apps from auto installing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kaibosh99:
Yeah, I have this superstitious fear of doing that, even though I know you can go into 'accounts' and sign in any time. Here's the thing, though - I just did a full wipe to install V12 and the 'update.zip' for TB simply didn't work. It flashed, I did it last, but there was no sign of it in the app drawer. LE SIGH. And so I went through the usual routine, but this time right after grabbing TB and the key I went into app info and then stopped and disabled the Play Store, and it STILL DIDN'T STOP IT. Jeepers, what does it take?!!?

Anyway, here was my routine which worked perfectly otherwise...

boot into recovery

flash v12

flash slim_minimal GAPPS 44.2.build.4

flash the 'fix camera V4 thingamajigger'

flash DK 2.3.2

flash SuperSU 1.93

flash XDA_Powerfonts_AOSP_4.x (you can't stop me)

flash TB (to no avail)

wipe dal/cache, reboot

enable root on a few things, notice that the 'allow apps from bad places' checkbox has vanished

profit
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Unknownkj:
Ok I might got it figured out? You flashed tb as a system app? Usually from the first startup playstore will auto update the system apps first. Dont flash tb, and get it later on from playstore.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] PRBajista:
What I usually do is do an apk backup of tibu before flashing. I update my apps via playstore. I redo my backups on tibu. Then I flash the rom wiping everything including the internal sd. I sign into google during setup. When I get to the home screen I open up the play store, stop the auto backup and then immediately put the phone into flight mode. You may get a notification of a app hung up on installation or download. Just clear the notification. Then use to baked in file explorer to side load tibu from your external sd (which is where you should save the backed up apk) and install it from there. Make sure your security settings allow for sideloading apps. Then just restore and profit. When your restore is done, reboot, then take off the flight mode, open playstore and all the apps should show as installed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kaibosh99:
That sounds like a good plan, thanks. I don't know why TiBu wouldn't install via a flash, I don't run it as a system app or anything. I just wish the Play Store would stay in a purely manual mode, I don't care for apps that over-ride control.

I use app2zip to save all of my apks, do the wipes, install the rom, gapps, and the app2zip.zip then all of the programs are installed. After the initial boot i restore just data from tibu to get my stuff back. Only apps that come up with a -24 error have to be manually fixed.

Anyone having heating problems?

My phone was so hot today that i had to take it out of my pocket. Its happening since I've changed to V12. Battery is dropping faster and it's getting really hot. This worries me, as I had already a heating issue, that resulted on the MB burned. luckily, at that point, I had a bit more than a month left on my warranty, and they changed with no complaints.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Senyaka:
Have a look at what is eating the battery bro. It could be a rogue app. Otherwise I would suggest trying another install. Also are you on stock kernel? Or custom?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scary Guy:
So I've been flashing back and forth between this rom and pacman. Both are pretty stable but this one has working video in Firefox. There are just two things I'm not thrilled about. Not expecting anyone to change just for me but I wouldn't mind some help in getting them to work the way I want.

First off the recents screen is annoying. I could live with it if there was a clear-all button at least but I really prefer the old style. Getting the RAM bar on it would be nice, but isn't necessary.

The lack of a theme engine makes me sad because I miss the CM themes I had but I can live without it. However "The real dark Slim" doesn't make everything black as pac does and still leaves a gradient.

Next are a few issues I've run into. The first being that there's an app I use on F-Droid called "System App Mover" https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=de.j4velin.systemappmover (it's also on the play store if you use that.)

It does not work saying it couldn't remount system. I obviously have root and busybox so that can't be the problem right? Is this something to do with the phone itself?

When I rebooted the phone (because of some audio glitching which that fixed) it lost the ringtones I had set and went to the defaults. Maybe I shouldn't store my ringtones on the external SD but it still seems like an issue that could use some attention. Maybe a delay until after the card is scanned to re-set them or something.

Finally, this is a great ROM and thanks for all your hard work and the work of all the users who help to test it out. If there's anything I can do to help with that let me know.

Yeah, heat is definitely a quirk of this rom. I can either run a fairly aggressive OC on both CPU/GPU (with cheeky undervolting though), or I can run stock, either way certain things will trigger insane heat and then it doesn't seem to go away. I notice when my leg is being burned by the phone in my pocket. I kinda jump on it right away and do a reboot, but I should try to see what is going on. It is more than just 'staying warm', the heat doesn't dissipate with screen off, so...

Things that trigger it are games, like Hay Day or CoC.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rainman26:
I don't experience heat issues unless I use my phone while on the bed. The phone is leaning forward. I don't play games that needs high graphics. When I play some games (i.e 2048, fieldrunners and hungry shark), it is warm but not that hot as what you guys are saying. I don't run OC/UC scripts.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kaibosh99:
I am talking about an 'alarming' hot spot about 3/4 up phone, in the middle. This isn't an insulation issue, and it isn't because of insane power hungry game engines. Something is triggering a locked high clock on either CPU or GPU or both. I am talking "okay that is *seriously* hot".
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rainman26:
Yepp, same here in the same scenario that I've just posted. I don't know why whats triggering the increase in temp. I was just texting and checking facebook in that instance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] smuvman:
Yea I have the same issue. I use spotify at work with my Bluetooth earpiece. I have the songs saved to my sd card so I don't have to stream. I noticed on this version (v12) that when I take my phone out the holster the middle of the back of the phone is hotter than normal. I can't tell how hot though because I have a seidio case on it but if it's hot enough for me to notice in the case.... I'm not supposed to use my phone at my desk so I can't check at the time but I'll try to use android tuner to get an idea why. Btw, my phone is the t mobile version, latest devil kernel, 1.6 gHz max 200 mhz min, zzmove governor, row scheduler is what I run. Have been using that set up since beanstalk about eight months ago and never had that issue unless I was running intensive apps (games movies etc).

It is still a little glitchy, but it works. Everything works. There is also a 'camera restart' .apk kicking around that will fix your problem without rebooting, if you choose to avoid doing the thing that triggers the glitch. Uhhh... None of it is perfect yet.

Alright. I know this keeps being brought up, but can we see the volume issues resolved anytime soon? I know they're apparent on other aosp roms, but it absolutely drives me nuts and is the only deal breaker for me on 4.4.2.

Incall volume and speaker phone volume specifically are what bother me. Also switching from headphones to speakerphone causes all sound to be extremely quiet. Boefella seems to modify media volumes, but it does not affect in call volumes for me.

I've modified tiny_hw.xml (sound driver) in an attempt to find a happy middle ground, but it also does not affect incall volumes.

I know of the volume down then volume up increases it during calls, but phone operation is the most basic of a roms functionality so i'd really like to find an actual solution. I'm more than willing to break my install if it means I may find a solution for later releases.

Any ideas of where I should start guys?
