[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] soNburst:
sorry about the confusion. i was just using facebook as an example. but it the browser function isn't working with any app such as facebook or google+. when i click on any link it opens up a browser full screen as it would on an iphone. in 4.1.2, links would open into popup browser. and then later links would open in browser or chrome but in multi window mode which is what i want. this feature seems to have been taken out? i don't know if it is the rom or 4.4.2 since this is my first 4.4.2 install. i will try a different rom and come back. thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
Sounds good. You can bounce over to Zen's stock NE5 thread and grab one of his CWM install packages and test that to see whether it's mine or just 4.4.2 overall.

Have you tried freezing the default MMS application with TIBU ?? ...you should then default to the next available app for messages. ..g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Fourknucks:
Yes, I have tried everything I can think of. when I freeze messaging app it reverts to TiBU as the default messaging app. I did open the app in Rom Toolbox advanced freezing and what ever this is keeps disabling. When I enable it, I can set Textra as my default app. but it reverts back soon after and that lib? is disabled again when I open the advanced freezing again. I have contacted the app developer and he has no clue what that is. I tried disabling all of my Xposed stuff. I dirty flashed BN again. I have no clue, but I am not a fan of the stock messaging app and it is killing me!! :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Fourknucks:
I think I figured it out my eliminating apps running in the background. I started using an app called AutomateIt Pro for simple task. Disabled it and problem seems to be gone. Settings sticking now.

Been getting some weird visual distortion on my Facebook widget. Anyone know what may be causing this? I haven't changed any DPI settings so idk why it keeps happening. Only way to so far to fix it is to remove the widget and then replace it but it keeps reverting to this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
Did you flash the S5 mod? I don't remember at the moment the default home screen size.

You try downloading APEX or Nova launcher, play with the home screen size to see what you want. 4x4, 5x5, whatever size makes the widget look like you want.

To modify settings in APEX, Apex settings, Homescreen settings, Portrait Grid.

EDIT:

I've tested the 4x4 home 5x6 app drawer, TW 4x5 home, 5x6 app drawer from they link below and they work

Love the rom however, I cannot get the camera to work either. Tried the fix and have reverted back to stock with no luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dmxinc:
Which launcher are you using? I had a problem with Apex and Themer both when it came to the Camera and Instagram.....I tried the fix with no luck either. But, Using Nova, Google, and KitKat the camera and Instagram work fine.....weird.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] tnjeffw:
I normally use nova but I was trying to get everything working before installing it. I was using TouchWiz the one that was loaded with the rom. I just wiped everything and re-installed the rom. Still not working. I am loading Nova now to see if that will solve the issue.

Nove and the fix did not work. Sill no camera.

Had to revert to my back up. Could not get the camera working then all the sudden I got the insert sim error.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Fourknucks:
I had camera working on DN3 and had to copy my file from data/cfw from that to SD card and then once I installed Ds I copied the file back to data/cfw and my camera worked. Of course this was Mr Steele's idea and it worked for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] smooth65:
What I did to get camera working was dirty flash DS-NE5V1 over another TouchWiz rom. No complications. All working great!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] t3dpott3r:
I don't know what's going on with everyone's camera? I flashed buttnaked and ran the S5 camera for over a week. Just yesterday I flashed the stock NE5 camera and have yet to have any issues with that either.

For some reason I always get a spotty wifi using butt naked and other KK roms that are TouchWiz but when I go to AOSP the signal holds much better. I DO get wifi I just notice it will have to reconnect quite often. Running last angi and N5 modem. Anyone know why and Is there a fix? Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] terpin32:
Maybe try reflashing the rom again you dont have any wifi apps to supposed to get better signal or anything right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rob_z11:
I think stock ROM has better signal in my opinion
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] terpin32:
Its idk more responsive or less laggy I think
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rob_z11:
Ops has done remarkable job with this ROM by removing all the nonessentials, and it runs really good. You can tweak Agni to get performance you want, but battery life has to give. If you are at work where you can have it plugged in while you are there, you can run performance mode.

There are really small footprint AOSP such as Omni, Slim, Will's and Gummy which are excellent.

Camera not working.

I cannot get either one of the roms to work with my camera. I have tried all the fixes but I still cannot get the camera to work. I can dirty flash over the top of the rom and the camera will work. Problem is that when I do that it adds the att and Samsung bloatware back. Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ojai00:
No issues here with the camera on BN, which has absolutely no bloatware. Did you do a complete wipe when you flashed the ROM? Using TWRP wipe everything except for external storage and USB OTG three times. If you've already tried this then it might be worth a try to restore to stock to see if your camera works. If it does then try flashing this ROM again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] tnjeffw:
I have done all of the above. Even went from TWRP to philz_touch and nothing works. I don't get what the problem could be. I can dirty flash over the top and it works.

It is really not big deal. I can use stock.. I just cannot stand for something to not work!!. LOL

I can flash i317 - cwm- ucucne5 - rooted - deodexed and it will work.

I was wrong. Even that rom did not work. The only way I can get my cam to work is to flash my backup from TWRP. Any ideas on that one?

I flashed back to stock through odin. Cam is working. Tried to flash this rom and no cam again. I give up. Got to be something to do with the hardware on my phone I would guess.

No the file was set for read only. I am going to try and re-install and see if that will fix it. If it does I suppose that would be a rookie mistake. I have done a lot of flashing but have not had to copy files into folders to get something working. If it works I will not forget it again. LOL

Is this something exclusive to this ROM in particular? I've tried a few different TW KitKat ROMs, and none of them seem to like me importing my own sounds to use into /system/media/audio's subfolders. When I do import some and try to assign them, they somehow all get converted to a common sound that would be like the audio equivalent to a 404 error message, almost as if it's trying to tell me, "Sorry, you can't use this" (for you musical types, it's lightly distorted guitar, drums, and piano playing a very short thing in Eb that gets repeated over and over). Has anyone else experienced this? It only seems to happen on KitKat TW ROMS. Just curious. :)
