Rom Issues

I too just flashed, and havent had a single issue. i keep getting SU binary needs updating but am reluctant to do so as this caused me issues on community.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] MaxGadgetGuy:
I've been on this ROM since version 1.1 and it has been rock solid! Prior to this I was on stock deodexed NE2 1.0 without issues.

Thanks Rwilco for this great Rom!

I've not been offered a supersu update as yet...lucky I guess...Root working great so far!

Just tried this rom. I did a wipe and followed the OP. I cant get WiFi to turn on. I hit the switch and it turns off again.

Any Idea to try ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chaz187:
If you haven't taken the official ota to 4.3 or 4.4.2 you will need to odin the wifi patch to get wifi to work.... but like it says in the op... he recommend being official 4.4.2 to have everything work correctly.

Thanks,

I went from Liquidsmooth, which I liked, but could not get my phone to ring when I received calls. I guess its back to LS until I can do the patch. Thanks

Here you go. This is the MK4/4.3 and above WiFi fix. Don't forget to give him THANKS because this has been a VERY import fix for all of us for quite some time now.

Steps:

Download the rar file and then extract it. Your goal is to have a .tar file to flash NOT a rar... so I believe you must extract it first. Check and see before you attempt to flash the downloaded file in the link. Then you MUST flash the wifi fix using Odin on your PC. It will not work using mobile Odin. Once you flash the fix you can then reboot into recovery and flash any 4.3 and above ROM and wifi will work. If you ever flash back to a 4.2 and earlier stock ROM then wifi will no longer work for 4.3 and newer ROMS. Hope this makes sense.

Facebook connection through browser

For some reason i cant go to facebook through the internet browser. Its keeps saying cant make a secure connection. Doesnt matter if i am using mobile network or wifi. Anyone know why this is happening? Has never done this before.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ceabbott2:
Mine does that but it's usually when my phone is switching between wifi and 3g/4g data. But I'm guessing yours is doing it constantly. Actually that usually only occurs on dolphin browser for me not the stock. Ok I'm absolutely no help.[emoji51]

SuperSU came out with another update, went ahead to see if it fixed the binary update issue. Updated supuersu and updated the binary the twrp/cwm method, and lost root again. Just in case anyone was wondering if the latest update fixed anything, it doesn't.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] pfroyjr:
Thanks for the heads up. Definitely love this ROM. No issues with any versions of it that I didn't cause myself. Do a clean install, don't update SU (it's an issue with SU not the ROM), install your apps and enjoy. Using TBU to restore apps and data from other ROMs didn't jive. I use this daily and have ZERO issues. Love it. Hats off to Rwilco for the ROM and Tx for his mods.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] monkeybone12:
Howdty there,

I recently (last night) flashed this Rom. Came from 4.1, but had flashed 4.4 in the past and upgraded at that point. After running into the no wifi issue which has been addressed, I flashed the wifi fix file (and thanked the poster of said file). Success, to a point. I did not have this particular issue on 4.1.

Currently, on various wifi networks, I get connected and then it drops the connection switching to 3g. I have an AirRave at home, since I live in the sticks. I have a nice NetGear Wifi Router. My internet sucks, but is somewhat reliable.

Any ideas or fixes that my various searching has yet to provide? Info I can provide to assist?

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] coolwater22:
Same thing happens to me. Usually the only way I can fix that is to reboot my phone, but that gets rather annoying after awhile. Anyone know how to fix it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] monkeybone12:
No problems using the related play application. Any reason not to use that?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] coolwater22:
What do you mean play application?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] monkeybone12:
Google play Facebook apk.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tx_dbs_tx:
I believe the connection optimizer apk has been removed from this rom therefore it can't be the cause of your Wi-Fi dropping issue. Other than that I might would start looking into your router settings and test with other Wi-Fi devices to determine if the problem is with your phone/software or your router/pc/config. Sorry I don't have any other suggestions but there have been no other reports of Wi-Fi issues in this rom's thread that I'm aware of.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ummkiper:
Install xframework and wanam tools there are plenty of other modules also, you can change almost everything with wanam

*edit*

I noticed it doesn't work in this rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ummkiper:
So I installed the beta one from your site, Wi-Fi hotspot work after the first boot, and now the setting is gone and when using click the quick toggle for it I get a toast pop-up showing "hotspot is not enabled".though usb tether works fine but I have unlimited and use Wi-Fi tether for my other gadgets i.e.Xbox, blue ray player, tablet.somehow it realized I don't pay for hotspot and disabled that setting.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] monkeybone12:
Well, I wouldn't know exactly what to modify with the router, the reading I did explained that it could be jumping between 5ghz and another, but I would have to look into that.

Other devices are working quite well, chromebook, laptop, other spare cell phones, and my wife's phone.

Only since upgrading to this rom have I experience this kind of situation, pretty annoying. The rom is so slick though, I want to keep it and figure it out. Might start from scratch flashing some tar file or keep on a-googlen'.

If anyone else can think of something, please give me a shout! Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ummkiper:
I turned it off in settings, so it is definitely there.had to forget all my networks so it wouldn't auto connect after I turned off Wi-Fi.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] monkeybone12:
So, like this?

If so, it didn't fix mine. Still jumping from wifi to 3g, actually stable if I simply turn off wifi. Just sluggish on the speed now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ummkiper:
Might be this app as I've noticed it had a few issues now but I can't see those pics.I'm using xda premium
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] monkeybone12:
So am I. Lol

Not charging

Hey folks,

I'm in quite a pickle. My wife's GN2 is running rwilco's 1.0.

I guess she has the battery not charging while turned off bug.

It literally doesn't have enough juice to power up.

Do I need to buy a replacement battery (hoping it has enough juice to power up the phone) or is there another way?

Hoping to not spend the dough if not necessary.

Much, much appreciated.

Skid
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ummkiper:
Get an external battery charger, charge your battery in someone else's gn2.just a few things I can think of.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skid71:
Welp

It's not the battery bug. For whatever reason I believe either system or data is corrupt. I'll be starting from scratch with version 1.1. Got into recovery and battery is now charging. Just will not boot. Hopefully I'll be able to do a complete wipe and install from sd card.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skid71:
Would sincerely appreciate any help you fine folks could offer.

Something is very wrong with the Mrs.' GN2.

I'm starting to wonder if recovery or some settings within recovery are messed up.

Getting some errors while trying to wipe:

Wipe cache:	no errors

Wipe Dalvik:	does nothing

Wipe data/factory reset:

E: could not mount /data to setup /data/media path

Error mounting /data!

unknown volume for path {sd-ext}

Error mounting /sd card/.android.secure!

These are some settings under "Advanced" (using Philz 6..07.9):

Storage set to:	/data/media

Partition:	/storage/sdcard1

I'm totally at a loss here. There are also some errors while rwilco 1.1 is installing as well. I can post those if necessary. The installation finishes, when I reboot system I get the blue animation, which goes for about 30 seconds then freezes.

My apologies for the long post. Really hoping someone can help me out.

Many, many thanks,

Skid
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jocarog:
The first thing I would do is to get the ne2 tar and flash it thru Odin, that way your phone will be reformatted, to me it seems that your partitions are messed up... basically go back to stock and start all over. ..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sliverr7x:
I will have to say I'm not a big fan of tw roms anymore since being spoiled by aosp roms but this is pretty nice I like it great job on I'm on 1.2beta awesome job to rwilco but that's a given anyways
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] doubleu:
Can you try the newest version of Philz (v6.48.4)? how about TWRP just to see what happens? If I have recovery funkiness going on, I'd try a different recovery *shrug*
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skid71:
It's been forever since I've flashed through Odin. I will give it a shot though.

Appreciate the advice.

After a little digging, I'm wondering if her phone has a damaged eMMC chip.

I'll give Odin a shot this afternoon and report back.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skid71:
It **seems** as if Odin was successful.

After the green "Pass" button was displayed, I unplugged the usb cable from the computer.

How long should the Samsung stay on the phone screen?

Thanks again!

Welp

It be dead. Looks like a bad eMMC.

Really appreciate those folks that helped try to get it going.

Take care,

Skid
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DarkAngel:
Before giving up on it, try it the @jlmancuso way of formatting the internal sdcard using PhilZ 6.07.9

I may have added / corrected a few things in there. If the below method does not work then do as jocarog has mentioned about 5 posts back but make sure you are running Odin as administrator if not prompted to do so and have a good cable on hand. Also can switch to a different USB port on your PC/Laptop and retry......

Ad Blocking

I just wanted to throw this out there in case anyone else has any issue not being able to connect to certain domain names and what could be causing it. I had been running v1.0 up until a week ago and finally upgraded to v1.1. Since moving to v1.1 I had been having problems getting to eligius.st which is a Bitcoin mining pool and they provide stats via a web page or you can use various apps to allow you to add widgets showing said stats. It was driving me crazy trying to figure out why this was happening. I finally found the cause which has to do with a custom /etc/hosts file that was added to the ROM after v1.0. The actual apk information can be found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1916098

I just wanted to put this information out there and I am sure Rwilco12 added this as a security feature. I searched through this thread and didnt find any mention of it being added to the Rom so if it has been mentioned I apologize. It looks like they update the app(it actually just installs a custom /etc/hosts file) fairly often and the version included with v1.1 is from July 2nd. I checked the latest version(from Oct 28th) and it didnt have eligius.st in the /etc/hosts file any longer and I am not even sure why it was included in the block list to begin with. I am not sure what criteria has to be met to have domains added to this list but its very possible there could be more legit websites or services listed.

Just a heads up. Thanks for the killer Rom, Rwilco12!

Do you know if it's safe to do a dirty flash over V1.1 or should I do a full wipe then reflash V1.2?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] philcox97:
Wow! Thank you so much for this...I thought I was the only one! I was just getting ready to dump this ROM because of this issue until I tried this. I loved everything about this ROM accept not being able to connect to certain websites..I couldn't even run my fantasy football app. Flashed this and everything is fine...thanks again!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] siliconz:
No problem. I figured others would find the information useful. I ended up removing and returning to stock on mine. You can get the apk that does it here:

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2996875&stc=1&d=1414997973

If you plan on keeping it you could use an app that lets you easily modify your /etc/hosts file like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nilhcem.hostseditor&hl=en

Another thing is the hosts file included with v1.1 is 15mb so it makes boot time slower as this 15mb is loaded into memory according to the author http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49548326&postcount=1174

I have not done any tests to see if it makes dns resolution slower but I am sure its possible.

I reported this same issue back in Sept. Nothing ever came of it and nobody else ever reported the same thing so I figured it was something with my specific config.
