Alright, quick question. I'm on the S5 feat 2.5 beta, and after flashing the system UI from the community ROM that's in the OP, my wifi and wireless symbols are moved and look a little messed up. I remember someone asking in the old thread about this, but what can I do to get this fixed?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Change front resolution to 1.6 and all will be fine. Our phone cant do the default 2.0 like the S5.

There are two ways you can change it. Use xposed and modules or decompile the systemUI and manually change out the icons.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Currykun:
I tried Wanam and one other status bar modifier... No dice though. For anyone else out there who had this issue, I'd love to hear what you did. Thanks for the help jlmancuso!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
How has battery life been treating everyone? This is from my first full charge. Notice the poor signal strength.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
2 1/2 hrs screen time and 40% battery used.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] menissalt:
Everything is running great so far, I've only begun to dive into most of the options. There is one issue I'm having though, I'm not getting any mobile data. Everything else works minus the occasional fc, and it's a clean install. Am I alone in this issue? If so I'll try re-installing.

::EDIT::

It's worth mentioning that I am on the NE2 modem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] masterpero:
Is the photo wall missing, the ability for the wallpaper to change automatically and if so what is the file to add it back in? But other than that besides some of the known minor issues loving this rom
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] menissalt:
Welp. After updating my PRL through Sprint Zone my mobile data is up again.

Common Issues between S5 2.5 and Community Alpha 2.

Both ROMs are super smooth and fast. I don't want to say all things work, only that all things that I have tried work and am not aware of anything specifically that does not. Both ROMs, however, have random FC's on settings, Samsung Email crashes when attempting to change ringtone of the email, and the known camera issues (with posted fixes).

I always format internal sd, system, data, preload, cache, dalvik, and install new ROM...3x each out of old HTC habit. Great work, no deal breakers, just some tiny frustrations.

Thank you, JLM!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] menissalt:
I can second your findings
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrkevbrown:
Been running 2.5 off of a clean install and everything is running amooth so far. Thanks for all the hard work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Well I just got a pm stating Download booster does work on 2.3. The icon will light up and you will notice a nice bump in download speed. Now anyone want to test this on 2.5?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] menissalt:
Sure, in the mean time I wanted to share a small mod I found to the systemui. No more "s finder" and whatever that other app was button on the pull down. Not a fan of the color theme, but i like the buttons less so I'm sticking with it i guess.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] menissalt:
First test is with booster on, the second with it off. It seems to be working.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Well if you want to share I can put it in the OP with the others. The other button is quick connect. It allows you to easily connect to other Samsung devices I believe.

This might be "easy" to retheme to the community rom style, which I like far more.

Hotspot isn't working yet, correct?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] menissalt:
It's working on my phone at least, and I didn't do anything special to get it working. I still need to hook a device up to it, but I set up the SSID and passphrase and turned it on no problem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ALooneyGuy:
I got that far as well, but once I hooked a device up, that device had no internet access. Please let me know if you have internet connectivity on your attached device.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
For now hotspot will only work if you pay for it or if you are like me (on cricket) then it will work. This goes for both roms (S5-FEAT and Community).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ALooneyGuy:
Yeah, I forgot to add the word "hack" in there. Thanks for the info. Hope it gets added soon.

I've noticed on a couple version that text plus does not pop up in idle. I have to move the phone or turn on the screen. I miss calls too.

Not sure if it's the rom or a new update.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bobmrly:
Galaxy Gear manager not completely working on 2.5

I have a Gear 2 and noticed that after taking the 2.5 beta update, only some apps will transfer to the watch via Gear Manager. For example, the Watch Styler app will load to the phone, but will get an error when transferring the child app to the watch. This happens with many other apps, but a few apps transfer to the watch just fine. When I was on the 2.3 update, everything was working fine with the Gear Manager app. Not sure if you will be able to test/fix this if you don't have a Gear 2. I did a full wipe, cleared cache/dalvik, cleared data folder, and loaded rom. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Gear Manager app 2x but still no joy.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Currykun:
Much appreciated man! We should throw that link into the OP for everyone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Do you notice signal is less than before?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darkangels6sic6:
I don't have service to help with that :/ sorry just WiFi.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Oh! You were talking about missing calls and stuff so I assumed you had service. Not sure what to tell you about those issues. Have you used stock OTA/Odin NE2? If so did you have the same issues?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rickberg:
Nice rom bro! Love the look and feel of it. Couple questions

On my pull down it says roaming indicator off where do I change that at

Also it says Ota not supported. Other than that great rom
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
For now just use an xposed module to change it. I will fix it later. The Ota app is team nebula's and is not supported yet on this rom (might even remove it completely).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darkangels6sic6:
Yeah sorry. I meant with Textplus. I believe I did not have this issue with the stock build. Only one way to find out. Try stock again. And possibly give LS3.1 a try

---------- Post added at 01:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:45 AM ----------

Oh yeah. At 49% with about 5hrs 20mins on 3 hrs 42mins screen on. I'm always in airplane mode with WiFi on though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rickberg:
Ok one other thing I found is even though it shows plugged into dock it doesnt play music or ring through the docking station
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darkangels6sic6:
Down to 2%. 9 hours of usage. 6 hours and 50 minutes of screen on time. That includes a 480p movie at full brightness.

Not bad at all.

I'm on 2.3 and I have never seen the icon light up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] keithkevorkian:
I'm on 2.3 and it works for me with 3g and 4g... Love the feature
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bobmrly:
Never mind. I did some research and found that this is due to the most recent Samsung Apps application not playing nice with Gear Manager. It needs to be uninstalled and reinstalled from apps.samsung.com.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Try disconnecting and reconnecting. It worked correctly first time I connected then next time screen stayed on and sound was coming from the phone. Then reconnected again and it was fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rickberg:
Thanks for the info right now I'm on your community rom if I can get the dock to work on this rom this is the one I'm sticking with lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] menissalt:
For anyone interested in this mod, one thing I've found is that aside from the color change, we also lose the download booster toggle in the notification pulldown. It can still be turned on through settings though.

Had a terrible experience trying to flash from a 4.4.3 Rom. Was extremely slow running. To the point of freezing up at times. Should I flash from a 4.4.2 backup?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Did you wipe everything (format for new rom and internal sd)?

None that I can find. If want both to have live wallpapers then they must be the same. Or just have one static.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Check out this OP http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=53452723!

This is why I share what I do. I dont take donations (I send them to red cross) or care about my thanks rating. When someone pulls out their old device and find out it is better (in a way) then their new device. All the time and work turns into a minor thing. The pride and joy just over flows everything that has come up in the builds. Today (well tonight) I am on top of the world!

Now I just have to make sure it gets even better every release! Thank you for your kind and heart felt words!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
S5-FEAT is a direct port of another rom (from verizon thread originally port from the International note 2) with N3 features lightly themed. It will I started it before our offical 4.4.2 started. It will stay as close to the source rom as possible only changing things to make it work fully.

The Community rom is made from a pure Sprint tar and I will be working on all the N3 features myself (sure not much difference to most people there). It will be changed and modified by "our community" (sprint l900 users). All user suggestions and contributions can/will be included if enough users approve. It will stay stockish looking.

Lastly the great and wonderful wizard of the l900 [MENTION=4246615]Chaz187[/MENTION] will do a themed version.

While all three will have the same starting point all three will grow into their own roms. Each with strengths and weaknesses and there will only be one that is the best. That will be the one you (each user) likes the best. I can only say make nandroids and try every few releases. The S5-FEAT wont change much more but the other two will have major differences with each release. Well we are still waiting on chaz's version to even start but in his defense 4.4.2 requires some new tools. We are getting there though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Umm.. something for a future project. An aosp touchwiz themed with Tim Burton?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darkangels6sic6:
Haha. That would be double amazing. Like slapping this rom with beanstalk/ls/du/etc etc and then throw some Tim Burton in it as well xD

I cannot imagine how hard that would be. Hence why it has not been done yet

Battery Problems and more.

Hi Thanks for all hard work on Rom.

Having serious battery issues. Battery lasts forever but thats not the problem.

When phone was let go totally dead I couldn't charge it because it kept trying to turn on when I plugged my charger in, but not enough power to boot fully so wouldn't charge. For some reason battery stops charging for a couple of seconds during boot which makes device turn off again and a continuous non charging boot loop.

Anyway after an hour of trying to get it to charge I some how got one percent battery power into it. So the device would now stay on and charge normally.

Why won't it charge when off? Also the battery charging animation is frozen on the screen all it shows is a battery and a circle? I am afraid to let the phone go completely dead again.

2 others things Ive noticed. I can't encrypt device in security settings it just reboots and does nothing. Need this as my company email address is requesting it before I can access my emails.

The other thing is you can't update ALL Share Cast Firmware on the dongle with this rom.

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ALooneyGuy:
I had that happen on a previous build. Fortunately I have a spare battery and charger.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:

I must say I am mighty impressed with this rom. It is by far the best rom for my note 2. I followed jlmancuso instructions on how to install and it went smoothly except for one system has stopped working on first boot (which quickly came back to normal) all is well. Battery life with ds battery saver is out of this world my phone is usually fully charged at night before I go to bed when I wake up after 6 hours its usually down by 5% when I woke this morning I was greated to a wooping 100% charged phone!! 30 sec after I plugged it in to see if it was a mistake I got unplug you phone its fully charged.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darkangels6sic6:
I'm so torn right now. Been trying a couple aosp ROMs...I love the built in customizables and stweaks/synapse. Plus I only find them a tiny bit smoother. Regardless of what internet trollers say..

.But I miss everything else about the Samsung ROM.

I miss the keyboard and camera interface majorly. Samsung account. Milk, group play, battery life, and some aspects/functions of the touchwiz ui.

Plus the cm bugs effect a few of my functions.

Its definitely back to touchwiz.

Because of camera I'm going back to 2.3 for now though. lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
I was wondering if Is it normal for rom backups to be over 6gb? Or is there a way to settings in Philz recovery to make backups smaller?

What's new in 4.4.4 just saw the dirty unicorn update to that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darkangels6sic6:
On 2.5 we got the S5 camera app. It works good. Only for taking photos as is. No other modes like HDR or anything. None of the settings actually do anything for the most part except I think focus and image size.

Plus video does not work.

And on the aosp ROM I'm on camera interface just sucks and lacks.

I'm sure our great developer will have the s5 camera working great soon. Just a work in progress.

Camera is important to me. I wonder how hard it would be to improve/tweak the camera settings considering how well Samsung does in that department.

Same here. Every time I flash(clean install)on any other build I lose root. No idea why and I'm still waiting in MSkippen to update his tool kit for the 4.4 builds. Every one always recommends CF Auto as being so easy but I'm not familiar with it. I guess it's an Odin thing?

Thanks Jman! No one on this planet is perfect but you sure are close. Not just for us long time users. I have seen you help everyone and give your time freely. Very generous. You know I've had a rooted phone since my OGEvo and never had this error. Really strange. Been using the Philz 6.0.7 something like that for a while. Oh I did flash the Aroma file for Philz. Anytime I think I feel like I'm starting to get a grasp on this phone I find a new tool/Rom and find myself trying to figure it out all over again.[emoji3]

I may hit you up later. My S5 2.3 is my root back up. Anytime it stops working back to the back up.
