I had the same problem with dialer, and not the multi window won't work and get the "Unfortunately, com.sec.android.app.FlashBarService has stopped." message now. Did you figure out how to fix this? Hoping I don't to do another fresh install. Just finished setting up again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] blotus:
i'm with ya on the fresh installs. Unfortunately, I have not figured out how to fix this. I have looked some but haven't found anything helpful yet. Sorry. probably a fresh install in my future. If that doesn't do it I am back to N3bula 3.9.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cyberma007:
I had the Problem with phone not showing up and realized that the problem is doing the 3.2 update right after 3.0.

you have to first install 3.0 reboot to ROM and let it do its things and open phone app and then install the 3.2 update.

That is what worked for me, but I am also getting the error with flash bar service, I have reformatted and re-installed the ROM multiple times and result is still the same for me and keep getting error, I have clearing cache and davlik cache in recovery and still no go.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Sir-Lancelot:
You are a Bauce!

Thanks for that. [emoji481]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ace2d:
Just switched to this rom from Alliance and I'm loving it so far. Besides the FC flashbar service, I only have one issue. I tried to add a theme with no luck, how do I apply themes?

Crtl+z
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cyberma007:
I just went ahead and disabled the service under applications, not more popup, i don't use multi-app anyway
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ace2d:
So that's multi-window related?

Crtl+z
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fkfmfz:
If you install the rom and boot it, you will see multi window bar is white. Open it to make sure is working. Then flash the ota, maybe that will fix it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ace2d:
No dice, tried flashing and it doesn't even work for me on the v1. I'll try again tomorrow.

Is it weird that I can't even find the service under applications?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] KGBxxx:
Great rom!! Is the s5 music app inverted going to be an add on?

Thank the devs!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ace2d:
No knocking anything in this wrong but power amp man... The only music player you'll ever need. I don't even install another music app if I'm given the choice anymore.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fkfmfz:
On the next ota will have it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cainG2x:
Love the rom, are there any 5x6 launchers that work on this? I can't get any to work, do I just flash in recovery? Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ace2d:
Up and running this morning, no fcs followed instructions, and everything works!!

Crtl+z
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fkfmfz:
Included in rom. Also check n3bula extras in settings. Remember to remove or rename SecLauncher2.apk
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] KuNiT:
Any word on the next update? I'm still on Alliance 4.3 and I'm going to cave. I loved the ikream ROM for my HTC Thunderbolt and this for sure looks like my next daily driver. Just don't want to install yet if a new build is going to be released in the next few days. Thank You.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sting5566:
Even if the update were to drop today, it will most likely be an update not a full rom, so you need to start with the full rom than do the updates anyway, so jump on board pal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] KuNiT:
You know what.....the jump on board pal is what did it for me! Downloading now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sting5566:
You won't be disappointed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bjhatch:
I renamed the SecLauncher2.apk which killed touchwiz. Am I in the wrong folder? System / privateapp
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] KuNiT:
So I just installed, everything is working pretty good for the most part.....except GPS. I use GPS almost daily (Waze) and I cannot get a GPS lock? Any suggestions? Running newest ND modem....should I try MJ9?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Well of course it kills touchwiz. It is ypur only launcher and an os hates to run without any launchers. I suggest you put phone in recovery and use adb to push the file or use aroma file manager to do it.

S5 System UI with 1% battery mod

Hello All,

Thanks for the great ROM. Is there a way to use 1% battery mod with S5 system UI? I tried the 1% Battery mod from addons after installing the S5 system UI but after installing it reverts back to the regular system UI. Would replacing all battery png in the S5 system UI apk and then recompiling work? I don't know too much but I can manage copy, paste & replace job.

Thanks for your help
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fkfmfz:
I usually put the zip in the sdcard then delete the launcher from system/priv-app. Boot in to recovery and flash the zip
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cyberma007:
Hi All

Does anyone know if I can change the theme back to stock? I don't really care for black and white
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sting5566:
Try post #6 and see if that helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] blotus:
Flashbar service- Does the modem matter?

Hey, thanks so much for all your efforts on these roms.

I was just wondering on this flashbar service thing, does it matter which modem is being used? I'm on MJ9 not the ND i've seen mentioned. Just curious. Thanks!!:)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] KuNiT:
Really wish I could have used this....but looks like I have to go back to Alliance. Used latest TWRP, wiped everything including internal memory probably about 10 times. Stuck an SD in, followed directions, installed. No GPS lock. Tried editing a few lines in GPS.conf from the SlimKat forums....no dice.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cyberma007:
I did see that, it is a full ROM, not just the theme :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] athack:
after i flashed the s5 ui zip now i have the 4g data icon always showing greyed out... i tried to check and uncheck the box in wanam toolkit to disable constant data icon even when wifi is on no luck tho??????
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bjhatch:
Same here
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cainG2x:
I don't know what's going on. Tried this with es file explorer. Delete launcher from system priv app, reboot to philz recovery and flash zip. Reboot system and when it boots back up it's still the stock launcher. I even tried deleting the old launcher in aroma file manager and then flashing the zip and still no dice.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bjhatch:
Same happened to me. I deleted SecLauncher2.apk went to recovery and installed zip and right back to stock touchwiz like I never deleted SecLauncher2.apk
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaveKnowsAll:
Join the small but frustrated crowd. Obviously GPS works for most people, but there is a subset of us for which it just will not work, so must be device-specific and not a problem with the rom per-se. I keep on coming back and trying every few days...probably tonight again...If I figure it out I will let you know.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] KuNiT:
I appreciate it man. I'm actually going to dig in pretty decent as well tomorrow. Such a shame because so far this rom runs pretty good for me. Only thing I have tried so far was the battery trick. I loaded up Alliance TW, locked GPS in Maps, and pulled battery. Immediately wiped and installed this guy. I was able to achieve GPS only once. Worked perfectly fine. I rebooted, installed the SU 1.93. Installed the 3.3 update. Apps started updating and lost GPS. I will dig in tomorrow to see what I can find but slim pickens on people figuring this out. Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] razortaz18:
GPS doesn't work for some (myself included) because the ROM is international based. As opposed to based on the Verizon ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fkfmfz:
Did you try using fastergps from playstore.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fkfmfz:
What launcher you trying to use? The one included in the rom is the s5 launcher.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cainG2x:
The 5x6 one from nebula add ons.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fkfmfz:
That is the same one already in the rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] KuNiT:
Just tried fastergps....no dice. Thanks though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cainG2x:
Strange, wonder why I can only get the 4x4 grid to show. Am I supposed to enable it somewhere? Every other time I've done this it worked. Just switched to 4.4.2 and trying to figure everything out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fkfmfz:
Should be like this one, no settings to enable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cainG2x:
Ohh my app drawer looks like that, I was talking about the home screens. My bad
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] S0UTHPAWK1LLA:
I had issues with GPS on some other Roms (luckily not this one). Try finding and flashing the old MJ9 radio to get the lock. It worked in the past for me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bjhatch:
Do you mean odin mj9 or just flash in recovery? With I have to re flash the fnd7?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] S0UTHPAWK1LLA:
I rarely mess with odin anymore. There are flashable zips in the vzw note 2 forum though for the MJ9 radio. Sorry...I would link it if I could remember where it was in here

Flashed it to make sure it works. Surprised to see my 4g improved. Let's see about battery life....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ace2d:
This rom is so nice, I used your rom on my tb so I already knew what to expect but it's good to be up and running with no issues at all. GPS lock almost instantly for me, WiFi works no data issues no lag... Good battery life. No complaints at all from me. Payday is tomorrow, I'll like to send a beer your way.

The zip is here: Note 2 Radio Thread

I am going to give that a go this weekend. Currently running DittoNote3 and ND7 with working gps, but would rather be on this ROM.

Flashbar Service fixed for me

Here's what worked for me: I did a clean install of the previous version referenced above (from post #6).And installed Agni kernel. flashbarservice & gps working. Everything working good. I hard reset via twrp 2.7.2 and installed version 3. installed agni kernel again. (not sure if I needed to but just in case). just installed the update. all good. Got the blackout going, multiwindow working. gps located me in my house. Hope that helps.:D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] athack:
Has anyone figured out why the 4G data icon shows constantly after I flashed s5 UI zip? Shows greyed out when WiFi is on. . Tried the fix in Wanam to fix it but didn't do anything. .. everything else works great. . GPS etc. ..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] firewater88:
I too was struck by the no GPS on international port bug, that was what was keeping me with the "official" leak. It was getting slow so I flashed this one. Have had great GPS with this one for the past week. Really haven't had too much wrong with this one. I was surprised. Love the dark theme. Glad I flashed it...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bgstyle:
ROM is Great! I have one strange issue that I cannot figure out why it is happening. My Bluetooth will work fine when I am listening to music thru it but after a short time will stop, the music is still playing but I can no longer hear it through the bluetooth. I can still however take calls via bluetooth but if I want to re-establish listening to music thru I have to reboot the phone and the process starts all over again. This may just be my phone as I have not seen this issue mentioned in this thread. Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidx2.3.3:
Quick question, are the quick toggles in the notification pull down supposed to be the older square style or the newer s5 round ones? Mine are the square ones but in the themes and settings it shows the round.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wolfeyes30:
See post #91 and flash the s5ui zip
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidx2.3.3:
^^ah thank you. Downloading now.

MJ9. Came over from N3bula 3.9. Best wishes! :)

Sadly no joy here either. Nice work. Would love to run it but no GPS so back to stock I spose...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] razortaz18:
I have flashed this ROM probably about 20 times now. All different ways and still no GPS.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] firewater88:
Bummer. I was surprised that GPS has been rock solid for me on this one. All the stars must have been aligned on this one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jthomas1987:
Has anyone had an issue with the S Pen keyboard switcher? I can't get it to start up? Did a search and didn't find any comments.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Thumprxl:
Ditto for me as well. I did have an issue getting messages from time to time on the nd7 so I went back to the mj9 radio. Works good so far. Anyone figure out how to remove the 4g icon after the s5 mui update yet? Already did the persistent trick in winam but didn't work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bambamishere:
I have been on MJ9 when I installed rom all works gps,wifi,just flashed ND7,will report back.

Ultra power saving mode

I've tried using this on several occasions and every time I came back from it my widgets were gone from the home screen and the exposed modules failed to load without a reboot. This rom is still rocking tho and been pretty stable.

Keyboard switcher

I did, too. I uninstalled it and loaded Keyboard switcher 3 from here- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=46236231. Works like a dream. hope that helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] KeylanHalfdan:
Interesting. I was very happy using n3bula in the past. I am currently on DN3, and it is giving me issues at times. I may be switching to this over the weekend, when I have time to flash and reconfigure things. From what I can tell, looks good :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bambamishere:
Been on ND7 for almost two days, no problems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nagasgura:
This ROM is great, but it's unusable as a daily driver until the GPS is fixed for real.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] razortaz18:
It will never be fixed. Not as long as the ROM is based on the N7100.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nagasgura:
That's too bad, I really liked it for everything except the GPS. Guess it's time to switch to SR Remix (based on ND7).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
GPS is working great. There isn't anything to fix.

---------- Post added at 05:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:14 PM ----------

You can't fix what's not broken. You guys need to troubleshoot your device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nagasgura:
It's apparent from this thread that many people (myself included) are not able to get GPS to work on this ROM. I wiped everything and followed the installation instructions, but it just does not work on some phones.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] razortaz18:
For SOME i605s (maybe a specific hardware revision?) GPS does not work on ROMs that are based on the international variant (the N7100). It's not limited to the two of us and there is nothing for us to troubleshoot. The cause is the ROM's base.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ace2d:
Not sure if this is important or not but when I go into settings>location my GPS has to be one for any kinda of location services to run. In older roms I remember being able to adjust location settings with GPS...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] S0UTHPAWK1LLA:
Sucks...I had GPS then lost it and can't get it back. Loved this ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
My phone is like the newest note 2 revision there is. Are you guys with issues using really early model notes?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Thumprxl:
The differences between the n7100 and the n7105 is the n7100 is a 3g variant and the n7105 is the LTE version with 4g. Both are international versions. Different carriers have different model numbers... Verizon is the SCH-I605 which is the n7105 base which is what this rom is. I've read that flashing back to stock via Odin and re-rooting may fix a lot of the radio and GPS issues. It's a pita but may be worth the effort. I can attest my Verizon note 2 is working flawlessly on this rom. Only thing I've done is flash back to the mj9 radio. Good luck to those still having issues.

BTW, anyone found a fix for the 4g icon showing in notifications while on WiFi?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
I agree with you and you're correct. Wiping and reinstalling isn't enough for those who still can't get it working. I say Odin back and flash this. The GPS does work. There isn't anything wrong with the rom or all of us wouldn't have gps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bambamishere:
Have you just tried using Odin to flash mj9, reboot and get lock on gps then flash nd7?

The 4g icon on s5 ui is normal, there is a edit for build.prop to remove it but breaks other stuff.

Also the GPS has always worked for me. Try using the latest twrp recovery, maybe that will help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Thumprxl:
Since the icon is normal I'm good to go. Everything has been working fine for me. Thanks fkfmfz for your hard work! ☺
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bjhatch:
I did do a clean install with twrp...no luck on the gps issue. It makes no sense.

Thanks anyway!! Still love the Rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaveKnowsAll:
So my device is also HW revision i605.06. And I have the GPS issues. To clarify, it's not just a problem of not getting a lock, if I use and app like GPS Status, the satellites will always show 0/0. ROMs that work but may have slow lock will have the denominator (second 0) as some number 10-25 ... they recognize that there are satellites to find, they just can't find them. The ROMs that for me never work are the ones that don't seem to even be able to figure out that the satellites do exist.

I have tried every method that individuals have been kind enough to post, tried them all on MJ9 and ND7, tried them all with TWRP and Philz, stock kernel and AGNI. I'm not sure if it's hardware variations or the fact that everyone in here has probably flashed 100 ROMS, kernels, and tweaks to their i605s by now, so even though we "clean wipe", there might be something to my phone's own history that is messing it up. I have NOT odin back to unrooted stock, re-rooted, and then flashed. For some reason I would rather flash a dozen times back and forth in recovery instead of trying one time hooked up to the PC.

Currently running the Official i605 stock rooted (6/19/14) ROM with no problems, but miss the Note3 features and others in this ROM. So I'm not giving up yet. I'll go at it again this weekend. If I crack it and think it might be repeatable, I will certainly give the rest of my fellow non-working gps'ers a new method to try.

I like android, but unfortunately, seems every phone I look at closely has some serious problem. I want to have a good decent android phone that quite modern and has no major issue. Less than $500. android >= 4.2

I tried few and now every one of those has some serious issue. I'm living in Japan for sometime, so these all are the Japanese version.

-Fujitsu Arrows F-02e

Slow, GPS problems, Horrible Battery fast drainage.

-LG G2: I liked this at first, but

Touch screen issues. makes it hard playing some games. and sometimes affect typing. this seems not uncommon.

-HTC One M7 I don't own this, but a friend does.

Only few months, and the camera lens seems burned out. now it has a purple tint. and apparently this is a common problem

I'm considering buying Samsung Note 3 , but googling note 3 problems, also reveal some issues, not sure how serious or how common. is it still worth it? any recommendations?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Electroman365:
Ok I know this question has been asked so many times but I have searched and read and read and then read some more but I can't find a real answer. I used to go more than 4 days on a single charge with minimal phone usage but then I updated to 4.2.2 (kk) and noticed a significant amount of loss in battery life. A couple of days later, the batt was back to normal however I got another update (whatever the hell that was supposed to do) and since then (a couple of weeks now) my phone barely lasts 2 days with barely even making one phone call. When I check the batt. usage I don't see anything that's more than 25%. (Cell standby for example is 23%). Anything I can do?

Also, after the update, the sidebar thing (I'm not sure if that's what it's called but it's the menu you get when you press and hold the return button) is no longer there. What happened to it?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
Spoken to samsung/your carrier about their update? (assuming you're using stock)

Tried another battery?

There simply isn't any reason or excuse for creating yet another battery usage topic. What anybody will say here has already been said and discussed. You can also just reply to one of those topics. We do not need another as it just adds to the already diluted forums.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Austtin:
Hello there, here I am to help you out, not to tell you off or scold you. Hope no one banned me for this jaja. well so let's begining. I found something interesting concerning to battery draining starting from kitkat. The first one is "media scanner" it drains a lot of battery, so if you use dr ketang you can handle this, or if you don't want to use dr ketang just install his apk + security settings -obviously rooted device- (to get it working good - available in playstore too) and there you got something good. My next step is just research for android system usage, that is high on kitkat custom sammy roms, don't think this happens on the aosp (not sure). so I hope this is useful for you. :highfive:

No thanks for the no help. No one twisted your hand to reply. Like they say, if you have nothing good to say, then don't say nothing at all.
