Speaking of facebook....!!!!!

I don't know if it's a ROM thing or a new Facebook thing, but when I uninstalled it a box comes up about deleting the fb data.......it erased my picture folder with almost 300 pictures saved!!!! Seriously??? I wish I had the recycle bin thing on right now.....:mad:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Lol!! I know it sucks to lose the pics but I dont expect much from facebook. You know it pulls data from your sms and call logs?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darkangels6sic6:
Yeah. Do you know if that's rom or facebook that does that?

I think I have a back up from a bit ago so most of the pics, not all. :/
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Has to be facebook. Not seen that before though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darkangels6sic6:
:/ well now we know. Don't delete data
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] coolwater22:
my bad. I thought I posted that. ooopS :rolleyes: I was using 1.3 non-aroma tester.

if they were deleted from your phone memory look for an app that's called undelete. it works awesome. ive deleted pics and files accidently and I use that and bam I have that file back :). hopefully this helps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darkangels6sic6:
I have tried it before. Seemed a bit tricky. I think it did help a little. Thank you
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] markintosh:
I've tried flashing this ROM a couple times. Everything works great except I can't get root apps to work.

I tried downloading Super SU but it says it can't install.

I'm using Philz.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrebo:
Try philz options, reapply root.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] coolwater22:
glad it helped "a little." its better than nothing hahah :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] markintosh:
I tried again just to make sure I had selected that option. I wiped and formatted, Philz told me to download Super SU from play store.

Booted, downloaded, failed.

When I run Super SU it says binaries not installed.

Question

I recently moved from 2.3 to 2.5. I liked the music app better from 2.3. Is there a way to port that over to 2.5. If so, what files would need to be replaced and where could I find those files? Any help is appreciated!!! Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] SASQUATCH:
Does anyone know how to put note 2 back to stock with root?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
That depends on how you got to where you are. Did you update to NE2 with OTA/odin or did you just flash a NE2 rom from recovery?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] SASQUATCH:
I just flashed ne2 from recovery. The reason I ask is because I'm selling the note2 and the person that's buying wants stock with root.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Well there is really no stock w/root to flash. So I would suggest using an older MC2 stock rooted rom. Think rwilco has a oneclick stock rooted mc2 exe file.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] SASQUATCH:
What about using mobile Odin. My pc is working.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Well my thought was to do a MC2 pre rooted. This will keep your knox status at 0 since you have never installed knox bootloader. Here is a link to the roms http://rwilco12.com/downloads.php?d...(SPH-L900)/Stock ROMs/MC2/Full Restore/Rooted the exe files are the easiest. You just put your phone in download mode connect to pc and start the exe as long as your drivers are correct you dont need to worry about odin since the exe has it integrated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] SASQUATCH:
Can I use mobile Odin since my pc is not working?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dedline:
Whats the difference between this and the community rom?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] HTCRyan:
Lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
I dont know if that will work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] SASQUATCH:
OK it worked with mobile Odin flashed mc2 with root sold phone and the stupid buyer accepted the update to ne2. He lost root and everything now what to do to get root back if possible.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Well you sold it and it is their problem lol! Cf's auto root works with ne2. Also I have been told towel root works with NE2 and wont trip knox.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] SASQUATCH:
I've tried towel root and it says device not compatible at this time. Do you happen to know how they got it working. Also after taking ne2 update supersu is installed but fc's when trying to open it. Can't delete it either can only turn it off.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
I dont know I have not tried it myself. I can only say google it and dont dont dont flash billards mc2 with counter reset!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] a_skyll:
How's the data fix on this? I'm going to have to switch up. Realized video recording don't work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] SASQUATCH:
Do you happen to know how to uninstall the supersu. After he took the ne2 update it still installed. Can't uninstall.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
It is a system app so you need root privileges to delete. What you do sell it to a friend and now got to help them?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] SASQUATCH:
Yeah sold it to my neighbor. But since he knows nothing about this I'm trying to help him out. Sorry for posting all this on your thread. Why did you say not to flash the mc2.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
No worries about posting here. Even if it has nothing to do with the rom.

It only applies to billards back to stock with counter reset. If you use it to downgrade (like some suggest) you will end up with boot loop if the otas are ever taken. It can be fix but is just a pain. Any custom rom (regardless of version) is fine just not the downgrade. Dont want you to get into any big issues.

The best thing you can do is find a pc and use cf's auto root. Then disable knox and put on a custom recovery. Guess you should of just sold it to him as it was.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darkangels6sic6:
Does anyone have the game share apk for group play.

Samsung is really annoying me with this. As if the S3 or our Note 2 cannot handle anything but music and photos.

If you install newer versions that's all you get basically. Even with most other versions.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Guess I should spoof the roms as a S5.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darkangels6sic6:
Lol. That would be awesome. Though I can't promise that would do the trick.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tx_dbs_tx:
I've noticed a few apps that have been updated and they are worse off after updating. It seems that if you have a good working version it pays to backup those apk's incase devs screw up or remove features from your favorite apps. With that said, you can just google for an older version of share or possibly uninstall the update.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Daevionne:
How do you get rid of the black and white theme, and replace it back to stock? Ive tried the XTheme Engine but it won't recognize the themes I download
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
The theme is part of the rom and not to be rude but if you dont want the theme please use another rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darkangels6sic6:
I think you have to get the specific themes for xtheme.

Plus there are TouchWiz themes.

And hktheme manager for xposed works decently even with some cm10 themes. Better to use cm11 of course.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Daevionne:
thanks for helping me out :good: i'm going to try searching up a touchwiz theme
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darkangels6sic6:
They are basically just launcher themes and the best way to get them is straight from settings
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darkangels6sic6:
Ugh! I have forgot to post this one a million times.

The memos do not not actually sync and save. I sync them, but when when I install new rom version and try to retrieve them nothing ever gets saved.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Maybe I have the wrong scould sync files. I will look into that for you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darkangels6sic6:
Thank you. I'm still on n3bula now and I don't know if it would not work with this one unless I reset.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darkangels6sic6:
A Lil off topic. Does anyone try taking awesome/nice photos?

Share them in the photo sharing thread?

N3bula here. Forgot to mention the ultra power saving mode just stopped working a whole ago. Turning it on does nothing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jay2149:
can i get ne3bula
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Sure can once it is posted. I am busy working on so much stuff that it makes getting things updated hard. I do this by myself. I dont have a group of people to help get things done (well chaz helps with theme stuff). Now if you got any dev skills and can help out then that could make my answer a little different.

Now about the upsm issue. Did you install anything before you noticed the issue? Greenify, xposed modules, or other app needing root permissions? If not go into recovery and wipe your cache and dalvik and see if that helps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darkangels6sic6:
I have. But nothing new or different I believe.

I wish I could help with the dev stuff. Aside from being a useful pain lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Man dont knock being a useful pain. I need users who can test things I cant such as sprint service. Plus every user uses different features and can find issues I miss. Without such testers the roms would not be as good as they are. Also if I could stick to working on one rom things could move quicker but then again we would not have as much goodies either lol!

[MENTION=3604114]Darkangels6sic6[/MENTION] thanks for all the help really you do make a difference.

So do we not need the wifi fix zip if we havent taken the ota updates and first time flashing any version of this rom and flashing 2.5? The wifi fix link is broken so thats why I ask

Sweet now I can move away from 2.3 beta! 2.5 alpha here I come.

Thanks jman![emoji3]
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] hedphurst:
I apologize of this has already been covered in the old thread, but is it normal for the settings icons to be mostly missing?

I see the icons for ROM Extras and S Pen, but no others. I flashed the ROM clean a couple versions ago, then dirty flashed the 2.5, but have never gotten the full complement of icons.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] VikingoRMCF:
Myfiles.apk crashes, besides that, flawless. Thank you for such an awesome ROM.

I put a new link up in the OP. It is not zipped so once you download just flash it with PC and Odin using PDA button.

Dirty flashes are never a good thing. I do so many major changes between versions that you will end up having issues just like this. The biggest thing is that all early versions are odex while 2.4 and 2.5 are deodex. This will cause you major issues. Also many apks are different. To fix your issues go back and wipe everything then reflash and you will have a much better setup.

Now this might sound offensive but I posted specific flashing instructions and failure to follow them will only result in me answering with "FOLLOW THE OP INSTRUCTIONS". I will not help users who dont follow the instructions in the OP. They are not hard and the OP is short and simple so there is no reason not to follow them. I have enough things to do without trying to help someone who has issues that would not be there if they followed the OP.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] goodpup420:
Thanks man. Now I just need to get the rom zip to download properly. Tried my phone and the computer but it doesnt seem to want to download the full 1.6gigs stopped at 1.56 on my computer and way before that on my phone. Hopefully tbird times a charm

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] hedphurst:
I understand that, which is why of started completely fresh when I first flashed the ROM (I wiped everything, including my internal storage, before flashing the 2.3 beta, but have never had more than just the two previously mentioned ROM Extras/SPen icons show up). I'm not complaining - the ROM is still great, and way more than I ever elected to get out of my Note 2 at this point. I was just wondering if anyone else had come across this issue, or if I should just try formatting everything again to see if maybe I missed something the first time.

Thanks again for the ROM. Please don't think that I'm being critical in any way. I'm very grateful for all the work you and the other devs put in so that lazy bums like me can still have the newest and flashiest software on our aging devices.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
You didn't come off as being critical. I have to throw out that "follow op" every so often. Now lets me get a little clarification from you.

1. You stated you clean installed 2.3. Did you have issues then?

2. Wipe everything and try 2.5 fresh and let me know.

If you still have the same issue I can help you out with a little one on one via hangouts or whatever im program you use.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] hedphurst:
I haven't had any real issues, either with a clean install of 2.3, or my dirty flash of 2.5, other than the lack of icons in the settings page. I didn't see any icons (except for ROM Extras and S Pen) in the clean flash of 2.3 or in my dirty 2.5 flash. It's really not a big deal, since I can still access everything I need, and the rest of the ROM looks great and runs beautifully. I just assumed that I either missed something in the wiping process before my initial clean flash, or that my download of the 2.3 ZIP was mildly corrupted. Honestly, it's not anything that you should worry about or spend any time on, since it seems I'm the only one affected. I'd rather you spend your time making more significant upgrades to the ROM than worrying about what icons I do or don't see. When I have the time, I'll do another clean flash and post my results. In the meantime, don't worry about me - the aesthetics of my settings menu are not important enough to slow down the overall development of this ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
I will update with a different apk. I have several different versions of S5 apks. I tested it and some things do work. I was able to extract zips but when I went to delete something it FC'd on me. So it is only partially broken guess that is better than fully broken. Lol! Oh and while I think my files is not the best it is still on this rom. I want everything to be fully working. So thanks for the feedback.

Also noticed that the camcorder is broken on this build (same on Community Rom). Video was working on 2.4 but the dual camera picture option didnt work. Well dual camera is still broken but guess no one has even noticed that yet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darkangels6sic6:
I just figured dual camera was one of those things when you mentioned some of the features did not work.

Lol but apparently we can take 16mp shots and UHD video.

Hope to see real time hdr, but that could be some work.

And hope we get video. Yikes. Little things happen though.

What I have noticed so far is the audio was quieter. I used the mk4 default gain and that seemed to help. The equalizer sets "sound alive"does nothing. I was waiting for the square presets so that's cool we have them and almost working. And if I try to open music settings any way except for the equalizer option upon changing volume it fc's.

I moved some things to system so I had more space.

But that's just personal stuff there.

---------- Post added at 01:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:44 AM ----------

Also something I meant to ask. I tried changing the music effects in settings in one or two of the bulls and it did not seem like anything changed. So I was wondering what was supposed to be the main difference
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
I am always looking for cool new keyboards. I have used SwiftKey keyboard for over three years. Since I got the note 2 I started liking the number row and handwriting. Well SwiftKey now has number row no handwriting but it does float. Also can change size and now they have many more themes.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mshnayde:
+1 have user SwiftKey for ages. Ever since they were in beta and still hands down the best. Their prediction algorithm is the best in the business and no other keyboard comes close.

I have not had any issues with 2.3 and somewhat apprehensive to install 2.5. What would I be gaining? Thanks. Everything has been working on 2.3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darkangels6sic6:
Neato on swiftkey. I like the setup of Samsung with number row and all.

So speaking of the camera I realized that basically nothing works except taking pictures. Burst, hdr, dual cam, and such are no goes.

Obviously with time comes improvements
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Leoisright:
Myfiles.apk works fine here. Just tested it out. First wiped cache then full reset, then installed v2.5.

Working good here. Only tough part is quick settings are difficult to see if they are toggled on or not with the white icons.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darkangels6sic6:
Thanks a lot man. :D

I try to help. Lol. One rom I'm sure. However you manage many many roms with many great features. My note has never been this amazing. I just won't be able to test anything, but wifi when it comes to signal and related things. With this phone anyway. I plan on getting the N4 with service soon.

I will try to wipe the caches, disable and Uninstall modules one by one, or even Uninstall and re install xposed tonight.

By copying the actual system files of course.

---------- Post added at 12:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:29 AM ----------

Just an FYI to all. I copied all my videos over to pc for backup. Camera videos. What I currently have is 2.01GB.

Basically converting to lower bit rate I got them all down to 98mb total.

Now of course most of these videos look just fine and did not need massive quality retention.

However if you need to retain much better quality then just use a good converter with good compression and keep a higher bitrate

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Sorry also was a bit aggravated yesterday. Been having issues with this darn custom tw kernel. Right now the project is on back burner while I get kernel and community ready for their release. The tester I sent out has no mobile data for my first round testers so it was not passed on to the rest of my testers.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jay2149:
no problem bro i know how busy u have been with the roms
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Custom kernel is pretty much ready for release. The original creator will be making an op for it. Right now it only works on fully deknoxed roms (no classic priest punch :( ) Tw can only be installed as primary but aosp can be either (only cm based aosp for now). This is a work in progress and will support more aosp roms as time goes on. I have only tested this on my stock ne2 and community beta (alpha should work also).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] masterpero:
How is the kernel running as far as battery life etc? or have you had time to test to notice any improvements yet, i went to your community rom for now, waiting on 1.1 but let me know if you need testers for the kernel.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Have not had time to test battery life. Been busy making changes to the kernel to get it booting properly with both tw and aosp. The source is from the international note 2 (gsm) so it took a bit of work to get it going. Tonight and tomorrow I will be testing how it performs on my beta 1.1 (which is almost done). I will post pics of battery life after the first full charge is used up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darkangels6sic6:
That's amazing news! Tw becoming more so of an amazing hybrid!!!

Maybe someday soon then someone will be able to make one that can be as decked out and customizable and overclock able as any cm kernel
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Well this one is working on it (oc/uc/ov/uv, touch wake, governors, etc..) already. Also ffolkes said he might try and make a touchwiz version also.

s5 browser

Is there any way to get the s5 browser as an apk or flash able zip? I have an older version of this rom. I'm on 1.8.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tx_dbs_tx:
The way I would go about this would be to extract a later version ROM that has the S5 browser and pull the browser apk. Then extract the 1.8 ROM and delete the SecBrowser.apk and replace it with the S5 browser. You will need to look in system/app and priv-app folders to locate the browser... it's in one or the other. Once you replace the browser apk, rezip the ROM and make sure you keep the folder structure as original or it will not flash. Success. Making a flash able zip to accomplish this would also require a custom script. It can be done but it's not practical. Do as I suggested, it's not that difficult.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
You need the libs for s5 also. Google S5 app ports and you should find everything you need.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tx_dbs_tx:
Thanks for that info. I really don't want to be giving out wrong info. I just assumed swapping the apk's was all that was necessary. I pretty much use ROMS they way they have been built. I don't have knowledge on ROM porting or building. I do have a lot of background with coding and nodding pc games which is a different animal. I can say that learning and gaining knowledge of ROM building/porting won't be too difficult for me it's just a matter of learning what's what and getting help from other dev's here at XDA. I can write batch files for different things but I'm new to Android so I will have to learn which is no problem. I learn fast. Lol
