[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] SonOfUncleSam:
This is really weird... I've had radio issues when I tried to install a KitKat ROM, but if i reverted back to a backup I made (4.3 JellyBean for book keeping), it always fixed the problem. My best guess, and I'm no expert, is that some important files got damaged during flashing - maybe files that pertain to the radio? If there are files floating around on here that have JUST the radio, I would try flashing one of those, preferably, the baseband version you had if you knew what it was. Though I have not seen any that have been readily available.

Fortunately/unfortunately, with that said, the only option that I know will fix the issue is doing a full restore to stock via ODIN. I reverted all the way back to the VRALJB stock ODIN image, rooted and ROMed and have had no issues since. This fixed the radio issues that I was having when installing an Android 4.4 ROM... So I'm confident that it will fix your issues. Of course, this is time consuming, and will take a couple of hours.

You can see how to revert back to stock using the files and instructions found in this thread. Someone else may have a [better] solution, but this is what worked for me when I had radio issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] timmyd463229:
I will flash the new build tomorrow thanks for taking over this ROM is really great for the past week I been running it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Pikeypete:
Firstly, SonOfUncleSam, thank you for your speedy reply and assistance :good:.

I was really trying to avoid restoring to stock (which I had to do) as I REALLY liked the look and feel of the SlimKat.

I Googled SlimKat and I discovered that I'm not alone in regards to SOME people who installed the ROM also faced the problem of having no data or any form of network connection, even though APN's where installed and edited.

If this issue could be fixed I will most definitely be ready to install it again (Actually I'm waiting for you to resolve it :silly:)

Looking forward to seeing the couple of minor fixes,

Pikeypete.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jarm3r:
Commenting on the radio issue: I had a similar thing happen to me on a different KitKat rom (PA), when I flashed it and my baseband said "unknown" and nothing I did could fix it. I tried via recovery flashing new base bands and nothing.

What I eventually wound up doing that did fix it was like sonofunclesam said, restoring to stock, reroot, flash alliance 4.3, Odin mj9 baseband, wipe, flash slimkat.... And then everything was fine. Took forever but it did work.

I don't think this issue has anything to do with slimkat itself, more like its a general note2/KitKat issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Pikeypete:
I resolved the issue, somewhat.

I had to change the preferred network type from LTE to 3G.

I'm on AT&T. 3G isn't anywhere near as fast, however at this point I have the network connected.

I'm sure a few tweaks will get me back up to the maximum speed bracket.

Thank you both for your input :good:

Pikeypete
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] SonOfUncleSam:
I agree with Jarm3r... It seems like when everyone WAS making the transition to KK ROMs, it was hit or miss as to who had radio issues. My phone had issues with the radio when my father's phone didn't when I decided to test his. After that, the only logical action (in my mind) was to try and restore everything to stock, using the baseband version he had on his phone. After that, I've had no issues and its been a couple months since I've done that.

And like Jarm3r said, once everything is restored, re-rooted and re-ROMed, you should be good to go. Sometimes it seems like when you re-flash so many times, files can get messed up, and you'll eventually have to do this. (I even had to revert back to stock on my Note 10.1 because it was acting wonky too...)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Instien:
Is there a way to change per app DPI? I can't seem to find it anywhere.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ControlD:
Install Xposed framework and then install the per app DPI module.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] guardianali:
I love this ROM. The camera works unlike cm11 and pac. And super smooth!

Is there a way to make the volume pop-up always expanded? I can't find a slim setting and the few xposed modules I tried didn't work.

I'd also love a way to have have something like CMs profile feature. Is there a zip or flash or module that would add that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nwh5024:
Settings> sound>volume panel style.

Switch from expandable to expanded.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jarm3r:
Been running build7 for a day now with zero issues, thank you [MENTION=5721370]nwh5024[/MENTION] !
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jarm3r:
Is that like where you set it to "home" ... "Work" etc... And it changes a bunch of settings like volume and WiFi and stuff like the old blackberries used to do? I would love to have that as well if it is! I currently use tasker to kinda emulate that but its clunky.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jarm3r:
Agreed. I had good luck with both, and honestly have not noticed any kind of real world difference since I flashed agni, so I'd just stick with stock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] timmyd463229:
Is there a way to turn up the headphones volume without using agni
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flyboy1100:
Anyone else having texting issues? Was on 7.0, couldn't send more then 1 text and only right after a reboot. Upgrade to 8.2, no change, fresh install 8.2 no change. Restore touch wiz 4.1.2 and it works perfectly.

What is going on here?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nwh5024:
No issues here, and looking at their changes I don't see anything that would effect it.

What modem are you running?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flyboy1100:
mj9 pretty sure.

anyway got bigger issues now, phone is soft bricked so i could definitly be having hardware issues, and probably the source of my problem. glad it isn't Slim
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flyboy1100:
definitely not slim (we all know that though!) tried CM11 for the heck of it, and it doesn't work either. problem for sure lies with Verizon. same probably people were having this past spring. you can send 1 message every few hours unless you airplane mode on/off between texts. right now i hate my phone, but it isn't slim so that is good!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] djd338:
For some reason I had data connection issues going from 8.0 to 8.2. Then after restoring my 8.0 backup they were OK then reappeared shortly. Issue was NO data at all with wifi off, tho data worked fine when wifi was on (cept Play Store) . It seems my go-to backup is always Slim 7.6./Agni 2.85. Just runs beautiful for me. I had weird gremlin issues a couple times on my tablets. It was recommended to format everything, even SD & start over - which did clear everything up. I transfered all important to a flash drive & then back. Hope you work it out Flyboy. You helped me way back with the GPS script, which I still use & am grateful!

Re-read your problem. I think this is the same thing DreamFX had for months, it seemed, with any ASOP rom & he finally found a cure. He's helped many with the problem. Thanks DreamFX! . Hope you don't mind me linking:

8.4 is up but even on their changelog say that really nothing has changed. I just figured 'why not?'.

I don't see those options. Actually I'm using pure cm 11. But no one responds in their forum.

I have been trying out different AOSP Roms. I really like this one. I think small dpi makes the system look REALLY nice. I was just wondering if there was a camera with photosphere that works with this ROM?

Great job with this!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nwh5024:
Google camera from the play store has photosphere and works fine for me.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] notstevek:
I love this ROM, the only thing I dislike about it is the recent app menu, anyway to switch it to the stock aosp version?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nwh5024:
There is no way to switch it to stock.

I know it is a love it or hate it kind of thing but if you dig through settings you can make some small changes to it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] projekt8e:
I don't mind it, but I can't seem to figure out a way to clear all of the recent apps at once. I'm sure it's something obvious. Any tips?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] omgitswes:
Really enjoying this rom, but I'm having a constant issue and don't think it's rom based because it has happened on each rom I've been trying since Friday. But I am having really bad problems with my incoming text messages being delayed by a hour or so. I am able to send my texts with no problem but I will go around a hour without receiving anything and then all of a sudden I'm flooded with them all at once. It happens really sporadically, today at work I went through most of the day without an issue, happened maybe 2 or 3 times. Does anyone have any tips to fix this? I've already tried a different SIM card from Verizon, not sure of what else to do
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nwh5024:
Sorry for the delay on the new build - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95747613655049436

Important notes from Slim on this build. They added v1.0 of their Slim Launcher on this build. From their site:

Features:

Add SlimLauncher “Please note this is a brand new and in early stages more to come"

Remove Nova launcher "Make sure to backup your nova setup before updating"

More details here: http://slimroms.net/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ControlD:
Anyone else having charging issues with the past several builds? I can't say for sure that it is ROM related but probably twice a week for the past month my phone either has failed to charge overnight or has partially charged and then stopped. I tried a fresh install with the stock ROM as well as AGNi but the problem still persists.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] timmyd463229:
I haven't had any charging problems
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nwh5024:
Yeah, seems hardware related if it's happening back stock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ControlD:
I don't know what possessed me to say stock ROM. I meant the normal slim kernel. Was posting too early I guess.

Still, if nobody else is seeing the problem it probably is something hardware related. I'll try a different battery and see if that helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jarm3r:
Thanks so much NWH for keeping us up and running on the latest greatest. I'm switching over to a Nexus 6 as soon as it's out, but I will still continue to update and run this until then, and most likely run slim on that as well!

Any info on the new SlimLauncher? That sounds awesome, but in slim fashion, info on their site is kinda hard to find. I can't find anything on what it is designed to be, or their plan for it, etc...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] timmyd463229:
I love this ROM also and also am going to the nexus 6 depending on the 2 year price. But I'll keep this phone as back up with this rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nwh5024:
I think a nexus 6 is in my not too distant future as well but I will keep building for at least a while after.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jarm3r:
You're awesome.

I'm running 8.8 just fine with no issues, just wanted to report in.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] timmyd463229:
Will you develop for the nexus 6. Honestly I've had the note 2 since release and only ran beabstown/alliance ROM but when they stopped support for it I looked for a aosp ROM and tried many and this is easily the most stable and most smooth I tried
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nwh5024:
I definaelty don't develop anything. I just got addicted to gchild's builds so he helped me take it over. I am not responsible for any of this and owe it to [MENTION=4499123]gchild320[/MENTION] .

I would expect slim to take on the nexus 6 pretty quickly though, this is the best Rom out there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] timmyd463229:
OK cool well thanks anyway I'll be definitely flashing this for the nexus
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jarm3r:
They'll for sure develop for the nexus 6, its just questionable if they'll officially support the CDMA Verizon variant. Like for our phone now the note2 they have official builds for all other variants except for CDMA. If they don't with the n6, I'm sure someone will pick up the torch and carry that unofficial build onwards.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ControlD:
Does anyone know how to get the Amazon app to install with this ROM? I tried changing my DPI to 320 but I still get a "your device is not supported" message when I view in the Play Store.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nwh5024:
I have no issues with any apps in the play store.

Are you using slim gapps? They have a dpi hack built in.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ControlD:
I am using the Slim Gapps and I don't have any problem with those. I only have a problem with some of the Amazon apps telling me my device isn't supported. I did some searching and it seems some people had success by first setting their DPI back to their device default before trying to install but that didn't do anything.

I never had a problem until I did a full wipe this time around before installing Slim. I guess probably because I already had those apps installed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jarm3r:
I think its so weird that DPI is such an issue on android. I've always wondered why its not 100% baked into the core of aosp to allow users to change their DPI to whatever they want. Or at least like 3 or 4 settings. Imagine if you bought a PC and couldn't change the resolution on your monitor.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ControlD:
I agree Jarm3r. Part of the reason I'm not interested in the Note 4 is that I can't go back to a "normal" DPI. 240 is about perfect on a big screen. Just going back to 320 briefly today was terrible.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] timmyd463229:
I've been using this ROM now for a while and haven't had messaging problems but for the past few days I have been able to send regular text messages except here and there. I'm on 8.2. Does the new version help this or is it all aosp ROMs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nwh5024:
No issues here. Might be location/service.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] timmyd463229:
I have full LTE and it has been doing it everywhere I go. I'm going to try the new version and different gapps
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jarm3r:
Whoa. What do you mean, like... you can't change the dpi to a larger resolution like we can on our note2? at all? Why on earth?

And haha yeah my buddy has a stock note2 and every time he shows me a photo or a text or a web page from his travels I always cringe at two things... Touchwiz horrors and the giganticness of everything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nwh5024:
Build 8.9 - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001603323

From Slim site - "Due to upcoming release of L from google, our weeklies for kitkat builds will be prolonged to make them as stable as possible."

Looks like they are gearing up for the L release.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ControlD:
As far as I know, there is no way to get root on the Verizon Note 4 at this time. I believe you need root to change the system DPI unless I am mistaken. Also, with the locked bootloader (like all non developer Verizon phones these days) I wonder what the possibility of using custom ROMs is.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jarm3r:
Hmmm I guess I'm not up on the state of things on devices outside of nexus' and our note2 but I always though that bootstraps existed for almost all popular phones with locked bootloaders. I will have to do some research. This is unsettling.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nwh5024:
I'm contemplating AT&T for the nexus 6 because Verizon is trying to make it so difficult.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] HeadKase:
Don't do it :) I know people love to hate on Verizon and their service costs a little bit more. I have a VZW Note 2 and my fiance has a TMO Note 2. "All the base are belong to VZW" haha. She doesn't get as good (or sometimes at all) reception that I get no matter where we go across the nation. My upgrade is available and the Note 4 looks pretty damn sweet. The Nexus 6 looks awesome too. I like the fact that the Note 4 has external storage so I could rock a 128GB chip. Either way they are both great phones. I might even wait until a few months in to 2015 to see what 64bit phones drop :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
Comparing t-mobile to att is like comparing a station wagon to a sports car. Att is a million times better than t-mobile. While I agree vzw is the best. Most of the time att is good nation wide.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jarm3r:
Holy **** the nexus6 is already sold out within a couple of hours or so. I'm still not seeing it at all on Verizon's site though. I wonder...

And yeah I'm sticking with Verizon because their network is just leaps and bounds better than all the others where I live
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nwh5024:
Yeah, I am interested to see how locked down the nexus is going to be on Verizon. Would be hard to let go of the unlimited(and best coverage) willingly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flyboy1100:
It shouldn't be at all, my n7 isn't and it gets all updates from Google, i think they take longer because of Verizon, but still no Verizon involved from what i see.

Even the stupid Verizon mobile app for tablets doesnt work, lol

Yeah best buy did not have a nexus 6 either. That's what I want. Give it a few months for the new to wear off. I still have till April.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jarm3r:
Thanks nwh. Still not sure what they're trying to accomplish with slim launcher. They'll have to try super hard to pry me away from smart launcher 2.

Unless its just me, but Verizon Visual Voice mail does not work with this rom.

Newest build running great. Only problem i see is when I reboot the phone, it will run at 1600mhz (and only 1600mhz) for about 5-10mins before it settles down (scales) and finally goes to deep sleep. Anyone else having this problem? On stock kernel still (going to try Plasma newest then Agni). Also, I can't find lock-screen wallpapers, not a big problem just wondering If I am overlooking this option. Thanks for the continuous builds!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nwh5024:
Hey guys just a heads up -

Slim has posted stable 9.0 but I am having some build issues at the moment. Also started toying with getting the alpha builds running of SlimLP(with little success so far).

Some last minute stuff at work has my free time very limited so basically just stay tuned and I will get it up and running soon.

Thanks for the patience!

Sounds good. No rush as the current build is awesome. Can't wait for the LP love, take your time we are in no rush. Let me know of I can help with anything at all I can't code but I am fairly technical and am willing to do some testing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tswillette:
