Not posted yet. Notice that there is no date yet only a TBA (to be announced) because I have a couple more things to do still. I just put up a change log before hand so yall know whats going on and what will be in the next release. Also it will probably change to beta release instead of alpha which means N3 features once I am done modifing the apks and jars.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] awillis111:
Of course, if the "requester" doesn't like the work you have put in on this, or any, ROM (at no cost to him), he/she is free to build his own.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Okay I have created a Mods/Add-on in the OP. As the title suggests this is where you will find the stuff that has been created to go with this Rom. Right now it only has 4 way reboot menu but there will be more to come.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] anishannayya:
I like when people are straight-forward and to the point. Sorry if anyone feels I don't have a sufficiently lackadaisical attitude. Since OP called it a "community ROM", I assumed that the community was free to provide feedback or help in development. Take note of key phrases like "Things that I think should be added" and "All in all, great ROM". Any discontentment was clearly directed towards Sprint & Samsung. I simply don't understand why they choose to include "features" without giving users the power to turn them off.

I personally don't use SFinder because it does a lot of background scanning when installed. Quick connect is nice but a whole lot slower than simply plugging in a USB. With that in mind, I've attached a flashable zip that should remove those extra buttons for those who don't want them and fixes the WiFi icon. It seems to work; let me know if anything is wonky.

Here's a couple screenshots:

EDIT: I've removed the zip since it does in fact make other system icons to go wonky. Will be updating later.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Yes all contributions are welcome I will copy this to the OP under Mods for easy access for all users. Thanks for your contribution!

I hope you did not take anything I stated as offensive or make you not want to leave feedback. I did not take any offence to your comment and tried to give answers to all your points. Sometimes people get a little dramatic here I just want to try and make sure that as little of that happens as possible.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Please keep things like this to yourself. I dont want any moderators to come in here and clean up anything. Thank you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] anishannayya:
Another thing I'd like to add: Removal of "Sprint" text in drop down.

It's peanuts, but carrier branding drives me crazy.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Man have you been peeking at my personal to do list? It will say Community Rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] anishannayya:
^That might be more work than anticipated.

I think it pulls the text from some place else and isn't a simple string. It might be easier to simply remove the offending code.

Say I'm on alpha 3.0 and my Internet force closes all the time....and my xda app does the same...what should I do? But other than that great rom

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Please read first thing in OP. Also it appears that the issue may be caused by an add on. I see many things off hand that do not match any version of this rom. I am assuming that you are using xposed framework mods to change up some things.

Please give a list of all mods you are using.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Sorry forgot to attach
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] anishannayya:
90% sure that is my fault. I'll see what's up tomorrow.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Oh! Did not notice the lack of sfinder and direct connect. Good catch.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ItsLasher:
Still running Alpha 3 and really the main problem I have is with the music player.

The settings\menu in the top right corner causes the app to FC. This is also the case when using the capacitive menu button. Nothing major just an annoyance.

I'll attach a screen for reference. It only happens in this view and in landscape of the same view.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] anishannayya:
Yup, it's my fault. Please remove my post from OP for now (I've removed the attachment).

I'm thinking I'll hold off for now and wait until jlmancuso releases his final version and then modify that. I'll be honest; it's because I'm lazy (don't want to make changes for every build)! :p

Thanks so much!

Also..I would like to commend you on being a awesome responder to Downloaders in your thread....Not all developers do that so timely...

just saying.....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Well guess the difference is that I am not a developer. I am just a developer in training. Plus this community is where I have learned most of my android skills. So I give what I can.

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Wow that is a loaded question. I dont need no competition! Lol! There is a xda university which would be the best starting point. When I started I had the cricket zio (cheep and no development). I started just by adding and removing apps. Then started using the xda kitchen and uot kitchen (online theming kitchen).

Once you get the simple things down then move on to the more complex stuff.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] na_tra:
Got your advise and downloads stuff for cooking. Running into problem already. Going to watch TV for now :).

Quick question Jl.

Does this ROM have GSM roaming capabilities?

I only saw domestic and international lte and CDMA
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
That is something I have no clue about. I am on cricket service which only has cdma.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Ok I have received a few pm's, and email about getting a link for alpha 4. While I understand yall are excited but if there is no link here on xda then there is not a link for anyone. Dont get me wrong you can email, pm, or hit me up on hangouts for any questions or help but please dont ask for links to unreleased roms.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sothus:
Ok.... how about a new OP.. can I ask for that :P lol

Example
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Okay I will look into this and see what I can do. It is most likely just a line or two in the CSC that does that. Possibly it is because I have removed all CSC's except my local version. I will work on a special version for you to test in a day or two and hopefully it will fix your issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] quantum3:
I love this ROM but I have somehow lost root. Every time I re-boot I get "unfortunately settings has stopped" . It has also turned off about 10 times today. I am running version 3. I used phil flash and cleaned everything 1st. then installed rom. When asked by phil if I wanted to root phone the very last second before rebooting I chose yes. What am I doing wrong please?

Thanks for the help!

Q
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ceabbott2:
As many on this thread know I had a very similar issue. Most replies will ask you if you formatted data cache system then sd card then did you reboot recovery, then factory data reset then install new rom oh and I also wiped dalvik and cache separately three times each BEFORE installing my Rom. Yet if I flash anything eventually I lose root. Not right away mind you. The a hole phone waits til I almost get the entire phone set back up the way I had it then it starts with the can't obtain root bull crap.

Good luck I could only get root back after I flashed my old 2.3 S5 back up.

Charles

PS The other folks mention CF Auto root as the easiest way to get root back.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] awillis111:
Just curious, have you tried opening SUPERSU and updating the binaries. I seem to recall that being an issue. And, also, make sure you are using Philz v 6.07.9. I think newer versions were also causing this problem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] quantum3:
Thanks for the tips. I did use an newer version of phil flash. I will go back to older version to see if that solves the problem. I tried CF root with odin and It ran through the motions but after complete and rebooted supersu still couldn't find any binaries for it so the phone is still unrooted. also phil flash is gone as well. I will attempt to reload phil and see what happens. I will let you know. thanks for the help.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Well when you flash and it ask you about root just ignore it. I forgot to remove a script from the rom so it thinks it is not rooted even though it is. Give it a run that way and let me know if the same thing happens.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ceabbott2:
That's what it would ask me, your binaries need to be updated. It would try and update and then boom no root.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jerry42570:
After clean flash, update supersu. Do not update binary and check do not ask again. That's what finally worked for me. Haven't lost root since.

Thanks Jerry. That's exactly what I had surmised. Glad you figured it out.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Alright I need a few to test this fix. Should fix personal ringtones and notifications on lockscreen.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/dlnpunlmhgyqvpm/Community-A3-fix.zip

Just wipe cache and dalvik cache then flash this zip
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ceabbott2:
I'm on it jman. Quick question is this only for community or is it for the S5 too?

Charles
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
This is only for Community. On S5 are you asking about the lockscreen notifications?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ceabbott2:
Too late I flashed it on 2.3 S5 [emoji3] everything still works...I think?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Oh I forgot you were on 2.3. You should not have any issues since 2.3 had the S5 mms and dialer. If it is tried on any other version of S5 it will cause big issues. Quick question. Did you like 2.4 (broken wifi version)? I also have a fix for it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ceabbott2:
Actually I waited and saved both 2.4 and 2.5, would you like me to flash either one and set up fresh? I was tempted to flash today, slow day at the fire department. Only had one fire today but fortunately it was relatively small.

Charles
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chuck_IV:
For anyone who tries this, can you also see if it fixes the email crash when trying to change the notification sound for an account? I wonder if that is tied to this issue as well.

On 2.3 notification sound work fine here ...but in sync size to retrieve email all that where is it FC for me

Well Alpha 3.1 is now posted. This fixes the personal ringtone issues with contacts. I also added in the 4-way reboot and a couple other things but Spen clipping is still not working :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] HTCRyan:
Great news, boss! Does the contact ringtone fix apply anything other than contacts?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Sorry I kind of forgot about the email issue. I just checked it and it is working also. Now my phone is blowing up with my yahoo email notifications (I almost never use my yahoo).

Edit: Well I forgot I am not on Community right now so disregard the above statement. I dont know if email notification is fixed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] HTCRyan:
Contact ring tones fixed. Email not. Will check other ring tones when not driving and report back. 3.1.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
I will try and get you another email apk to try then.

Not necessary, sir. I can wait til Alpha 4 or DN3. Thank you, though.

Still running Alpha 3 with only the music app being slightly annoying. I'm almost gonna hate to upgrade in a couple months seeing as how this ROM runs so nice.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chaz187:
The issue with themed gmail apps as of late they fc with the current play services. .... so most google apps will not be themed in the rom..... core apps will have my magic added to them????

I may be retarded, but my "My Magazine" does not work with Alpha 3, 3.1, or 4. I don't remember if it worked on prior releases... am I missing something? 4 is butter smooth sir!

Lol! There is no alpha 4. Did 3.1 instead and it does work but I kind of forgot to add the app. I will post a link for it shortly.

Off subject a little bit but the new ne2 roms seem to have great battery life. This shot is from my dn3 tester. Installed on a full charge and been playing hard. 3hrs 30+ mins of screen on time. This rom has not even settled in yet and at current rate I should see close to 6 hrs of screen time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sothus:
Well give us the great DN3 boss :P

Ran the s5 2.3 for a while. Really nice ROM. Only thing was battery was toast just in time for bed.

Community 3. I am now on, this is last post before bed and at 59% even with several hours of Pandora today. [emoji106]

I saw the music player mentioned, it's says "force close"but when you hit ok it just keeps on playing.

Been meaning to debloat and just hadn't had the time. Thanks as Always JLMancuso. Do you have a preferred shortening? JL?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
It is getting close. I am slowly sending this out to my testers listed in the OP. I have been wanting this (DN3) for almost a year. Tried porting 4.3 version many times and it was always a failure. Also guess we should move further dn3 comments and stuff to this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2724505. Me and the testers will continue to tease yall over there till I get it released.

Well most my friends call me a$$hole but guess you could just do jlm if you want. Glad you are enjoying the battery life here on Community. Although the new 2.5 is getting better battery life but looks considerably different than 2.3.

These 4.4.2 projects have a lot more fun than 4.3. Way less bugs from the source so way less issues in the ports and modifications. It is nice to focus on the issues I cause and easier to fix them. If only MIUI had a TW 4.4 out then this phone would have a very rounded choice of roms.

On Alpha 3.1 for about 18 hours now and I've gotten 6 wakelocks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chaz187:
Did you take the OTA update or are you still on mc2 bootloader
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Find you an app that monitors wakelocks. Once you find what they are then we can help you more. 9 times out of 10 it is something that the users adds. Since this is a relatively new ROM then it could be additions I have made.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sothus:
Speaking of user added apps. Got me thinking. Yesterday I didnt run Wifi tether router at all. Today I have been. And have been getting these wakelocks. Im willing to bet thats the culprit.

(I'm on 3.1!)

How long should I wait for the first boot until I can consider it frozen instead of still booting?

The phone has stayed warm for about 10 minutes without leaving the sprint spark screen so far. This is my second time installing it, since the first time it didn't boot after about 15 minutes :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Should boot between 5-8 mins. Did you wipe everything? Are you flashing with philz? Lastly did you verify the md5?

Yeah I got to change out the email app. I have also noticed stock browser just closing for not reason. Going to try and find a different browser also.

Great ROM! Thanks

So when the next version comes out will i need to do a full wipe again (formatting everything?) Or should I be able to wipe cache and then flash the ROM?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Cool. I think I might remove it completely. Does anyone use or like the geolookout?

Well that all depends on the update. If there are major changes then a full wipe will be needed. Right now I could not really tell you what it will take since I have not even started on it. Been busy working on getting DN3 ready for release.

Anyone here have any experience building kernels? I have done a few personal builds for Og Evo but don't really have time to do one atm.
