well it has been 3 weeks now and it seems to be running pretty good. i still have the lag on the first call but as long as i remember to place a call to voicemail first i am ok. i did learn when i do get that first call hit your home button to answer it because if i hit power button on side it sends the call to voicemail. i am getting little to no fc's and no random reboots.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Thanks for all your feedback it and glad it has been running good for you. You said little to no fc's would you share any fc's you see? They help guide me towards finding and fixing things. Even if the fc does not seem to cause an issue there still is something that needs fixing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mash4077fan:
I mean literally a few like maybe 3 and it was just standard stuff. Stuff I even get on my work phone which is a samsung mega running stock unrooted. Once or twice on Hangouts and maybe one error message on systemui or just settings but nothing to worry about. My phone has been very fast. The only thing I felt was giving me a problem was the NE2 modem and I flashed MK4 modem and it seems to be running fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] HTCRyan:
I apologize for my assumption.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Sorry it does not work for you and your service provider. I use cricket for service and the stock tether apk works fine for me. While for you it might not be stealing but for 98% of the other users it is so I am sorry for any misunderstandings there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] klockk:
It sure did... Thanx!

Day #2 and still looking good...

Seems like I had a few incoming calls today that I couldn't reject, no matter how much I tried swiping left (RED Icon)... so I just had to hit the Power button to reject... :S

I made a couple calls to myself and I could answer them okay.... I'll have to try and call myself and attempt reject from screen again and see what that yields...

Also still no way to generate bookmarks or folders in default browser... :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
For those who want better lockscreen sms notifications I think I have a fix. Been working on Beta 1.0 (n3 features included) and while testing new/different apks I came across a better keygaurd that actually shows the message.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DowntownRDB:
Better lockscreen sms notification sounds great JL. Thanks again for all you do to not only keep this ROM optimized but all your other ROMs also.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
I will look into the bookmark issue but the phone issue might not change any.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] revaaron:
I'm on 3.0 cause I use my s-pen.

1) I don't know what you are talking about "cheap app". I've tried all the apps I could and none of them worked for me. I just want tethering to work like it did on the venom rom.

2) not for me. it doesn't mount.

3) how did you install it? I saw something about putting it in some system folder and blahblahblah I don't know how to do that. Baked in would be great.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sliverr7x:
So ur lack of knowledge and willingness to Google things and learn the developer should just drop the 20 different projects he's doing and follow ur request hmm interesting let me know how that works out for ya
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] HTCRyan:
I use my S-Pen on 3.2... That's how I took (and wrote on) the screenshots I posted.

1) I am sure anyone here can chime in on which apps they use. I do not tether, so I cannot give you personal insight, only that there was some $3.99 app referenced back in this thread.

2) Don't know what to tell you. I can only tell you that I do full (not quick) format on my computer (not in phone). I can't believe that has any effect on it mounting, but I have not had issues with this ROM and the SD card.

3) Search this thread. There were questions and answers (with screen shots) posted a way back.

I believe in helping anyone, as do most of us, but feel like people should at least try by reading threads and learn before asking something that, if they HAD read first, would see the question was already answered.

"Alpha 3.2/3.2+ Spen clipping is not working"

please explain that then.

1) all the apps I've tried thus far no worky.

2) ok, I put the card (that wouldn't mount) in my computer, scanned it a bunch of times, synced it with the 32GB I've been using in it's stead, and put it back in and it worked. thanks. I thought (since this worked before I loaded this rom) that exFat was removed in kitkat since I read things about people upgraded to 4.4.2 and exFat not working.

3) I guess I didn't search for the right text. All I found were things about moving files around which I'm obviously too stupid to figure out.

86 pages... I'm not reading through anything that long. Especially in the format that these commercial forums use. I used the search feature and didn't come up with anything that helped. I guess I will search again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
4 way reboot is in 3.2/3.2+ and far as tethering goes that will not happen from me. I have explained why I wont mod the tethering app before and it still stands. If Sprint changes TOS then I will modify it otherwise it is all up to you. If it is a deal breaker than you are free to use any other rom you like.

Now about spen features (also n3 features) they are on they way. Beta 1.0 will bring that to the table once I get it done. As they guy above stated (bluntly) I have many projects so I am busy. I will get back to Community Rom once I get the chance.

On the 64 gig exfat subject... I dont have one so I can't test. If someone wants to donate one then I can make exfat more of a priority. Otherwise it will only be based on user feedback after release and low priority.

Thanks for your time and feedback. Hopefully this answers your questions even if it is not the answers you wanted.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] revaaron:
I hear the "many projects" I have a billion and one things that aren't related to my phone. So how do you use your pen to take screen shots or whatever if spen clipping isn't working? I would gladly install the newest version if the things I do every day weren't affected. I assumed that "spen clipping" meant that things I use my spen for wouldn't work.

wait! spen clipping isn't working in 3.0? what the hell then is spen clipping!!!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Spen clipping is where you hold down the spen button and outline something. Then it copies everything you "clipped" to an image file. Oh and when I say many projects those are just the phone stuff I do.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] revaaron:
oh, I never use that cause the outlines are always terrible. I serious wonder about my nervous systems ability to function when I do that. I'm going to upgrade them.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mash4077fan:
is there a flashlight toggle i can put in the notification panel. i dont see one
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
No there is not. Check your widgets and there might be one you can put on your home screen. I can't remember if I added the widget to this rom so it might not be there either.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Drayspencer:
Just wanted to stop by and say AGAIN what a great job you did on Community Rom [MENTION=4011301]jlmancuso[/MENTION] and the fantastic job [MENTION=4246615]Chaz187[/MENTION] did on the Alpha-3.2+ theme. :good: It runs smooth and I have not experienced any FC's that are ROM related that I can tell. The only FC I have had happens when I am using WiFi Tether Router and I receive a phone call using Bluetooth and that has happened before on other phones I have. Seems they do not like each other!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] revaaron:
I flashed to 3.2 last night. Battery life is sucking, but I can live with that. I just don't know how to do this. Where do I do this? It won't let me touch it in astro and root explorer. Do I need to do this from recovery or something?

btw: I'm loving this rom more and more. I just want all the txt I sent of me in a wet tshirt to send!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Battery will increase after a few charges. Also if you dont use the Ok Google hotword turn it off and it will help a lot on battery life. Now about the mms apk I will make you up a flashable mod tonight sometime.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] revaaron:
the women of this world will just need to wait on my wet picture then. thanks.

turned off hotword

5hrs and it went from 100% to 82%, I'm using the zerolemon 3x battery.. and it's usually only down to 94% after that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] FanOfSkynyrd:
Went from 3.1 to 3.2 today. Noticed WiFi and 4G status bar icons messed up on both. Is this a carrier thing, is there an easy way to switch back to regular icons?

Screen shots attached you'll see the icons are offset on up/down arrows.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
I think you can take the systemui.apk from 3.1 and put it in 3.2 and you will have the old icons. Just do a backup first just in case something goes wrong.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] FanOfSkynyrd:
Thanks but the icons were the same, messed up and offset like that in both 3.1 and 3.2 I flashed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] revaaron:
We're you able to make that MMS zip? Wish I knew how to make those.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] revaaron:
I also haven't figured it out, but before I was on Community Rom, I never did any pocket calls... now I do a few a day.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] acoope2667:
Delete the stock sms app before pasting the working sms in the private app folder. Give it proper permissions reboot and you're done. I used ES File explorer. Worked like a charm. MMS and sms working 100%
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
I just looked at what was linked and it is already a flashable zip. You just need to delete your current apk before you flash it. Easiest way to stop pocket dialing is not to put it in your pocket! Lol! No really if you put on a lock (pin, pattern, face, etc...) then it wont happen.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] revaaron:
can not write files into system/priv-app can not rename files in system/priv-app

---------- Post added at 02:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:45 PM ----------

I have a PIN (work requires it). It also seems to pocket call from my hand. like some sort of hand pocket call that I've never heard of before. I don't see anything about "flashable" or anything. I see an apk and when I open up root explorer or astro, it doesn't let me do anything. Tried that ES explorer.. same. Read Only File System.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
In es file explorer you have to turn on root and mount the partitions as writeable. In es tap icon on top left which opens a menu scroll down to tools click the on icon for root then press on left of on icon a menu will popup and make everything read/write. Now you should be able to do everything you need to.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] guycan:
Try next app sd fix from the play store and see

SGNote2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
A pic to help you out hopefully.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] revaaron:
I got an email from you quoting me and followed those instructions.

Easy and now all my MMS are sending off to people.

They are going to be so happy!@

Thank you for showing me how to fish. I will go back to being less of a pain now and await the beta.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
No pain and always feel free to ask. Most times I dont mind unless it is something that i have answered 100s of time in same thread or the answer is on the same page you asked the question.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] revaaron:
I write software for a living. I got sick of saying "well.. if you read page XX of the help manual...." so I usually don't bother writing help docs anymore.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mash4077fan:
So Saturday night I tried to flash the latest TWRP and my phone would not boot up after I flashed.. I had to find the stock 4.4 firmware and odin back and then reroot and install recovery and then restore a backup. I am just sharing this in case any of you want to go back to twrp. It did not work for me and I will just have to adapt to Philz and like it. It was a pain and I would not want any of you to have to go through that.

And before you say it Chaz and Bear I know you told me so. haha
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Should have hit me up. I did a bunch for testing for bigbiff and you didn't have to do all that to get back working.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mash4077fan:
I could not get the phone to boot up I can only get it in download mode so I felt like I had no other choice. Next time I know better
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Right that is what happens. You just odin philz then you are right back running. Mine was a bit more fun since I only run ubuntu. I had to figure out to to use hiemdall which is kind of like odin.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mash4077fan:
So if I had flashed Philz I could have possibly got back in recovery
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Yes sir. You also could have booted your current rom like nothing happened. Just so you know next time. STAY AWAY FROM TWRP. Lol!! While I did like twrp philz is what we have to use.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ItsLasher:
Well its been a great ROM but as of yesterday afternoon I'm on the LG G3. Still have the GN2 at a back up but it will only be used at the gym.

Thanks for all the hard work and help!!:good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Thank you for using and liking the rom. Enjoy your G3 and hopefully development will start up on that device soon. So far as I have seen not much is going on with it yet but it is a new device.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sothus:
If it's anything like when i had the LG G2X. Those phones are a little harder to break than a Samsung. So if that is in fact the case may be a while before Roms begin to pop up. Though i do love that G3 the thing is a beast of a phone. Im looking at that or the Note 3/4. Not sure wich yet lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jyerly:
wii remotes

any way to get wii remotes working on this??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
I think that needs to be added in. While working on another rom I saw the xbox controller files. I will dig around and get back to you. It might be a week or so before I have time though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jyerly:
awsome
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] coolwater22:
Speaking of remotes have u got dual shock controller to work with this rom? I'm on 2.3. I have even tried community rom to no avail. it use to work but Idk what happend. Sorry for the dumb questions
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] RelaxedMomentum:
Just read that the Note 4 is Sept 3rd
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] revaaron:
the fact that I have an iPad, surface 2 and surface pro 2, I think that my next phone is going to be a smaller one. The Note 3 is awesome and all.. I'm sure that the note 4 ill be too. But I don't really need a big screen anymore. I would love a thumb keyboard again like my old palm. I will keep the GN2 until the 64-bit processors come out in phone next year unless something bad happens to my phone (though I have insurance for that). I would love something like the G4 + water proof + qhd screen (or better) + 2 day battery. I use the 3x zero lemon battery on my GN2 in order to get through a day of work. All that said, I'm still waiting for sprint to kick me off since 9-5 M-F, I'm roaming and using 1/2GB + of roaming data (plus 7-44GB of normal data)

anyhow, 3.2, I think I figured out the pocket calling issue. There are hangs in the ROM so while I type, etc... events queue up and then play back in order. It seems like input to the front and screen rotation gets queue. Then when I turn the screen off cause it's hanging, it then plays back in order. I feel it do the hapatic feed back ass it processes the inputs. I've actually watched it do this as I hold it. its like a ghost is using it. rotate + send sms = calling the person.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dariste:
I cannot get the wifi to flash. I've download it about twelve times from IE and Chrome but it always says that the md5 is invalid! Also I'm using a wired connection on my PC

NVM: Odin'd stock 4.4.2 because it refused to work with the fix
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cullenmq1:
Yeah I had the same problem. I went to the original forum where the fix was posted (in lorjays 4.3 update thread) and that one worked fine
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Drayspencer:
I use the same battery and it seems to get better mileage the longer I run 3.2+.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
You have that triple sized extended battery? Also if you use xposed and greenify things will be even better.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Drayspencer:
Yes and the battery seems worth it so far. I installed the Xposed framework and have been tweaking it, tricky stuff for me. I am looking at greenify now and will probably check it out. The Community ROM 3.2+ has responded very well since I flashed the NE2 modem and changed batteries. Seems my reception has increased especially when I am in buildings/warehouses with lots of overhead metal work and basement areas in large buildings. This used to be a problem, but not since the recent changes. I am afraid to even try other ROM's now, plus I love the theme on 3.2+.

Question: Which camera app do most of you use with 3.2+?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
I use stock. Was thinking about adding in the ar port or something like that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Drayspencer:
Yes I have had better luck with stock than I have had with others. I remember seeing someone was having a problem with video recording and so was I. I think I was trying to use that Camera2.apk that was floating around and a few other apps but it would always freeze in video mode. I guess it is back to stock.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tx_dbs_tx:
Man if you got your phone pulling strong signals I would leave well enough alone! For me it seems some roms have crappy data and reception while other roms work great. I have been flashing all of these TW roms and the one that has the best signal/data reception for me is the stock deodexed NE2 rom by Chaz.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DarkAngel:
I tried flashing the HotMod for my phone a while back and it was working okay. I honestly would not get good reception so I restored back. After, everything worked great, reception was awesome! I am one that at times really needs to have a HotSpot so I decided to manually ( actually decompiled and modded ) do the mod and did. Now again, I have bad reception when I was getting great signal inside of buildings and all, kind of strange. Other than that, solid Rom JL.

I really want to port these features over to my L600 Mega since not many members are really doing too much for this phone being the Sprint variant. I love that I can choose themes at will with the Community Rom. Makes it so user friendly.

Question, I am pretty sure it is but one could modify the apk's for landscape mode correct? I drive a lot and would love to have the Stock TW switch to Landscape as well as the Lock Screen when on tilt.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] revaaron:
Since updating to 3.2 from 3.0,i can not keep a battery charged at all. The normal batteries last on a few hours.

The 3x battery barely last at all and when the phone is on charfging, the battery barely trickles charging.

The phone is also constantly very hot. Ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Get better battery stats and find out what is sucking your battery dry. What you are experiencing is not normal.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] revaaron:
The odd thing about my stats is that it looks like wife is constantly on and I've never turned on wifi.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Smidgers:
Mine also shows this. But I haven't noticed it to cause any severe battery drain.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
I noticed it saying no wifi but some app has to be using your battery up. Go to play store or here on xda and get better battery stats. It works way better than stock app.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jocarog:
Go to settings - WiFi - menu - advanced and make sure it looks like this
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Smidgers:
This fixed my wifi showing as on
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] revaaron:
that seems to have fixed the wifi thing. Still trying to get it to not kill the battery fast.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Smidgers:
My battery wasn't bad before fixing the wifi. But using battery monitor widget, I did notice a noticeable improvement in overnight drain.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] na_tra:
JL:

Did you do any new update on the 3.2? I have been away for awhile.

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cullenmq1:
Did you also notice the slow charging? I installed a widget that displays charging speed and sometimes it only charges at 100ma. I looked this up and it seems to be plagued with other people on Samsung kit Kat devices.

On a side note, I've noticed how little custom kernels (if any) exist for Samsung 4.4. I'm interested in starting but I'm not sure where to start. Any ideas? Would it be easier to port a kernel from another carrier or building one from Samsung open source?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tx_dbs_tx:
Unless you are well versed in Kernel building let the pro's tackle that. Otherwise I think with the Note 2 getting a bit older there's not as much development going on for it anymore. Obviously people move on to newer devices and things eventually slow down. If I were you I would spend time learning this sort of thing on a new device so you can enjoy your work longer for a device that is more relevant. With that said I still like my note 2 and it has pretty much curbed my upgrade impatience.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Smidgers:
I can't say i have or haven't. I usually only charge my phone at work and I'm regularly using it while charging. So it's hard for me to gauge charging times. Sometimes (like today) I've felt it was slow, but I've been using it a lot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ColeTrain!:
If you want to do a kernel, that would be fantastic!

I saw plasma state that he going to try and do something for us, check there Good luck!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Drayspencer:
I have to agree. Since installing 3.2+ I have not had a desire to upgrade from my N2. At this time it is doing all that I need it to do and has features, with 3.2+ installed, that makes this phone even more powerful and fun. I have associates that have the N3 and the Mega and I am in the game with my N2.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] revaaron:
So I went running last night and put in my OG battery to fit in my arm band. Pulled the battery from the charger which said it was full, the phone said 93% and then with 1hr of spotify/mapmyrun going, in 5hrs it was down to 23%. The funny things is the battery drain curve wasn't any steeper while running than after I turned off the apps.

This has probably been answered, but I don't see it (only how to turn off s voice/google hotwords), when I double click the home button, my tracks comes up. I would rather Google Now come up. My 4yo uses that to ask things and it's not coming up for him.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] michael85tx:
Is it me or when you make a phone call or get a phone call the phone takes a minute to catch it? (show up) and when I make a phone call and have to press that stupid "1 or 2" the screen stays black and doesn't come back. First time I had to uninstall and reflash, second time I flashed another rom it was fine so I didn't know if it was just me. I tried scamming through the comments but didn't catch anything about it.

and jlmancuso I see your making new roms and such. I seen your Turtle Rom was pretty cool should bring that one up to date would be awesome
