[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] doubleu:
Any of you guys have any feedback on this fix? I set aside some time this weekend to install 1.3 clean, got everything running great, and then attempted to mess around with the SuperSU update issue and this fix. I can see the hidden .ext folder, superuser.apk file, and su file with Aroma in Philz/cmw, and I delete those 3 things as instructed, and then exit aroma, flash update-supersu2.45.zip with Philz, but when I exit philz it complains about no root (system/xbin/su), and regardless what i answer to that, I eventually end up with a borked-root install like previous. Has anyone experienced something similar? I've redone this process several times and can't immediately figure out what's going wrong.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Sounds like the zip may not be flashing correctly. When you exit aroma go right back into it and make sure files deleted. Also after installing supersu go into aroma and make sure the files copied. I tested this on my community rom and 1.2 version of this one.

I will try and get 1.3 installed and tested later today.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chaz187:
Glad to see this rom progressing..... wish i had the n2 stoll to try it.....

Thanks,

Chaz187
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Hey chaz how is your n3 treating you?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mfng:
Ok...so tried using aroma file manger to fix my root problem... i have enabled hidden files...when i go to system/bin i dont see any files there? nor do i see system/app? am i missing something? Thanks in advance!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Two choices. 1. Mount partitions before running aroma. 2. In aroma settings enable it to mount all partitions.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chaz187:
I love it man..... wish you had one..... we could kill it man!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DarkAngel:
Id pitch in as well if you both were willing/able. Lollipop is very interesting. I have a LP TWLauncher w/ several mods to it. Going to make a thread for the mod.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chaz187:
I have the n3 and my rom is out already. .... waiting for lollipop to drop officially. ...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DarkAngel:
Gonna check it out.....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ScottieRotten:
Decided to install 1.3 official today. . There is one thing I cannot seem to get working with 1.3 official that wasn't a problem on 1.3beta. . Better battery stats keeps giving me an error due to See Linux enforcing..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] guycan:
Does anyone know what line to edit in CSC to change the call log from all logs to call logs only.... Thanks in advance

SGNote2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ScottieRotten:
In the phone app there is in the drop down menu a selection for calls... This will prevent text showing in call log if this is what you are trying to achieve. ..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] guycan:
Yeavi seen that but it reverts back to all log all the time I want to make it the default

SGNote2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ScottieRotten:
You are correct it does reset back to all logs after a reboot .
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] guycan:
Yea it does not even a reboot jusy buy exiting the phone to the home screen then as soon as u go back it goes back to default ..it anoying.. thanks for looking at it doe ita appreciated

SGNote2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ScottieRotten:
Something to try,.. Clear the data on the phone.apk from app manager and see if that works. ..?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] guycan:
Is anyone having issue with not receiving voice mail.. I installed the apk but still not receiving voice mail notification

SGNote2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ScottieRotten:
No problems here with receiving voice mail. .
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] guycan:
I think its a phone issue I just restore my nand backup and its the same thanks

SGNote2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] barelynotlegal:
forgot about voice mail til I checked it manually. then I googled (sprint) voice mail apk. then installed, opened up and updated. then updated prl and profile. with a reboot I was back in business.

dont have the apk anymore or I would post a link.

Thank you for this, this is quite fast in comparison to using 4.3 and just stock 4.4.2 (plus I like the 15% battery noise :P). I have a question regarding security updates, should I install them? I know OTA updates for the main system are blocked, but I had received a security update that I accepted, and wanted to know if those would affect the root, as I'm no longer able to run SuperSU or Helium for backups (going to use Kingo to root again).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwilco12:
Thank you for your kind words and support!

Security updates shouldn't have any impact but generally I don't recommend running them as Sprint or Samsung could sneak stuff in there that breaks ROM functionality. Without knowing which update you received I can't tell you for certain what broke root but a security update could potentially do that as well. Let us know if you run into any issues and we'll do what we can to help!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] frankx85:
Wondering if anyone here can help me with this. Thanks in advance.

I have been running this rom, everything fine. I did a backup in CWM and installed CM12 just to try it, decided to revert back to this rom after testing. When I restored the backup it booted but all processes just crash immediately. So I tried dirty flashing the rom over it and it did the same thing. Tried clearing cache and davlik cache, it "Upgrades Apps" or whatever and then processes all crash again. Tried a few different variations involving cache and dirty flashing but same thing always happens. If I do a full wipe and install rom its fine but really didn't want to set everything up again. Could be that backup is just corrupt? It passes md5 check.

I want to be able to make backups this way , never had an issue with it before. Now Im concerned future backups may do the same thing. Hope that is enough information.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Did you do a full wipe before restoring?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] frankx85:
Yes tried that as well.

I've got everything all setup again but want to avoid this in the future.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
I test multiple roms and have dozens of nands and rarely have an issue besides mismatch md5. I turn that off in settings and restores always run fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] frankx85:
This is the first time I've ever had this issue, been using them for a while on multiple phones.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] barelynotlegal:
I tried it too. had to do a full reflash, but then used pholz to restore the back u p I made before trying the lollipop
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rikorage:
I tried pretty much everything that I found to fix it, but just re-flashed the ROM over what I already had, it kept my settings and I got root back. I'll avoid those types of downloads, and I'm not touching SuperSU's binary anymore, and I have disabled notifications for it also, lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] frankx85:
Getting some battery drain from Tethering Automation com.sec.automation. Having trouble finding info about what might be causing it. Tethering is off, wifi is off (i barely ever use wifi) , not sure whats the cause.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] leenhia:
Why do I keep loosing root?? Keep getting stupid OS update notification. The update gets downloaded but I don't install it at all but I still lose root. The only way to get root back is to do a dirty flash of the rom but I loose root after a couple of day when the update notification shows up again. I tried apps like DisableServices, renaming otacerts.zip but still lose root. Any idea?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ummkiper:
Do not update.there is a fix in the note 2 forums, dr ketans root kit.which will restore root but stop updating it.ignore the notification clear it it always tells you to update binary and that is what breaks root.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] taller238:
Hi rwilco12, does the s-pen clip eventually working by any workaround?

I fully searched but cannot find follow-up.

Please advice. Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwilco12:
Honestly I had forgotten about this one. Unfortunately my wife has taken over my N2 after she broke her old phone so I haven't been able to do much with it now. I'll see if I can get it from her and do some digging but it may be a bit. Sorry!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] taller238:
Great to hear you back. In fact your ROM 1.3 had been compact and functional enough, with only this glitch (if i can call it) due to debloating as you mentioned in the page 23.

If you could have a chance to check in and fix out, it will be perfect.

I'll highly appreciate if you can update, as well as others who eager for the spen clip function.

Many thanks.

No mobile network

I've been using this rom for about a month and I love it. I have an issue that I'm tired of overlooking...my mobile data is not working. I flashed an asop rom yesterday and mobile worked. Not sure if it is related but when I go into settings/mobile networks/connection optimizer it gives me a com.android.phone has stopped error message. I thought someone had posted about this earlier but Ijust read through all 76 pages of posts and don't see it. Any thoughts?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
As far as data you may need to go back to full stock via odin and do a full reset ##72786#. Sprint does some wierd things with touchwiz that aosp doesnt use. This can cause not tw data but working aosp.

Now for the Connections optimizer FC... the app was removed from the rom. The app is really just extra junk that does not make a difference if you have it or not. The actual settings apk was not modified to remove the connections optimization option so when it is accessed from them menu it fc's since there is no app.

Hello, been using this for about a month with no complaints except one. I'm trying to use AdAway to block ads on YouTube, but I get the feeling your modded hosts file won't allow any further modifications to it. Do you know if that's correct, and if so, do you have a fix so I can use it? Blocking all ads was the reason I wanted a pre-rooted ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
For youtube ads host files normal dont work. Xposed or lbe security are needed to block them. Xposed has a youtube ad blocker and lbe security will block ads in any app (this include google aka gmail ads.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rikorage:
Thanks for the info, but AdAway pretty much does that too with the hosts file, so it's not very resource heavy, and I remember it blocking the video ads at the start of videos. But, that doesn't answer my question. Can I override your custom hosts file with the one AdAway puts, or do I need to do something extra?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwilco12:
I actually used the stock hosts file in this version of the ROM. v1.2 had one [MENTION=4011301]jlmancuso[/MENTION] had put together but it was a little more restrictive than what I like to use. I reverted to stock to give users the option to choose how heavy they want to block ads. So long story short? Block away! :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] oneglory:
Hey guys,

I was on a previous version of this rom for a while without much issue and just upgraded to 1.3 and been having a weird rooting issue. My phone will be rooted when flashed and then will unroot at some point (I don't know when it happened). I ended up having to flash a few times to successfully root my phone again even having Odin mixed in.

any ideas why my phone would be randomly unrooting itself or giving a false positive? Supersu gives me a blank screen or FC as well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Make sure that you dont update supersu. Most likely you have playstore auto updates turned on and it is updating supersu which is a known issue on all ne2 based roms.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] oneglory:
Ok, thanks. I've reflashed again and turned off the auto updates. Ended up having to update about 30 apps but did everyone except for Supersu. Root is back again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] kchannel9:
Something weird happened while I was trying to fix a PlayStore error, and I get this message now upon booting... I've tried clearing Dalvik cache and cache in recovery, no luck.

Now the clock and play store crash constantly. Can I dirty flash 1.3?

I'm on RW_N2_NE2_v1.1 btw
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] kchannel9:
Even weirder, now it seems to have mostly repaired itself somehow... I'm so confused
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwilco12:
The Play Store issues are probably unrelated. The device ID error is actually common among users of TB. Good news is that it's an easy fix. :)

In TB go to the menu and scroll nearly to the bottom. Select Manage Android ID. Select the restore from backup option and reboot your phone. You should be good to go!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Comet1966:
My dad is using this and his phone has been just eating the battery. in 4 hours its at 27% he's hardly touched It. Yesterday it got so hot it stopped charging. I did the GServiceFix.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
From my experience it actually sounds like the battery is at the end of its life. I suggest trying another rom first just to make sure it is still happening.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Comet1966:
Eh, I forgot to mention that I installed the rom 2 days ago, 3 days ago he was on MA7 and his phone ran fine. I may have fixed the heat issue with the GServiceFix, but his battery life is bad. I will see if he wants to order another battery to test. He isn't very fond of flashing a lot of roms. Thanks for the suggestion/2cents!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] kchannel9:
So no one knows if you can dirty flash 1.3?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
You can do anything you want but any dev will tell you to clean flash. If you dont clean flash then any issues you have are on you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] k1o6r3:
I'm a little bit retarded and I updated SU and it ****ed up. While I was reflashing the rom, I forgot to wipe things and it turned out ok since it had no problem and downgraded SU. If there are more cases you can dirty flash, I don't know. But in that case it worked and I lost nothing
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwilco12:
Not at this time. However, the update should have a writeable PRL option included in it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] moa4:
wow I never knew google voice was an option. I'm going to look into that now and try it out.

rom is still running smooth, looking forward to any of your additions.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Hey double check the apk I sent you I think it may still be the wrong one. If so I have found the one I know works. Got way too much crap on my pc and it makes it hard to keep track of some of the stuff I use.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwilco12:
I just finished pushing my update to the S5. Guess who's next! ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Got a new TW kernel out but it only works if the rom is fully deknoxed. If I remember right you used chaz's rom as a base and while the knox did not work it was not completely removed. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=55274702&postcount=3 That post has a list of what must be done to make your rom work with the kernel and all the changes deal only with knox so it wont bother anything you have done with the rom or break anything. If you decide to use my base then make sure you use 1.2 which I am uploading now and will post shortly. Cant wait to run what you put out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] moa4:
Just gets better and better!!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] burna:
great rom rwilco12 just had one question would really like the transparent weather widget could you help me out with a zip to flash it or apk files. thanks and appreciate your work.

Page 5 post 47 thanks to chaz
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] burna:
Thanks i knew i had seen one but i stopped on pg4 lol thanks thoe
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DarkAngel:
I know you had stated you would take requests possibly but would adding the Flashlight Toggle be an option? I don't believe both would conflict as I have had a rom with both enabled/modded. Just curious as I am so used to turning on my light via toggle when I am already in the OS.

I have to say, this is a great and stable rom. It's perfect and I love what you have done to it thus far. TY for sharing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] guycan:
Does anyone have a stock dialer that would work with this Rom.. Thanks in advance

SGNote3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tx_dbs_tx:
I've been working on this very thing. The phone apk's are different obviously and when I changed the apk yesterday I must have done something wrong because the S5 dialer remained. I spent a few hours looking over smali code so apparently I was a bit delirious by the time I decided to swap out the phone apk's and I did something wrong. I'll post when I get the dialer situation corrected. This has been a priority for me as well as many of you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] guycan:
Yea I switched it to an mk4 dialer apk and change permission and it force close... thanks hope this gets work out I do like the s5 dialer doe

gallery & sd card problem

Anyone else having problem with the Gallery not seeing pictures (already in DCIM folder) on the SD Card?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
You have to change out a few apks for the dialer not just one. In system/app delete InCallUI.apk and in system/priv-app delete SecTeleService.apk then copy the SecPhone.apk to /system/priv-app and you should be good to go.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] SASQUATCH:
If this rom has hotspot enabled does that mean I not gonna get charged for the service? Sorry call me stupid but I just wanna make sure.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] kchannel9:
Well, I cleared for a new ROM in Philz, and then flashed 1.3. Everything seems okay, except my internal storage is seemingly gone, but unavailable. So my internal storage is full, and I seem to have lost all the files that were on it. Is is possible the partitions got screwed up and it thinks there's less space than there is?

EDIT: I figured it out, the partition got dumped into the /data/lost+found/ folder, I was able to recover 41% before the task failed. So Now I'm individually copying parts I need from it. Very thankful though that they are there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] asalott2:
great rom, one question

Loving this rom so far. Only issue I'm seeing so far is the inability to choose or upload a pic when using tinfoil for Facebook. I didn't have this issue on dirty unicorns. Does anyone have a fix? Thanks again for the rom, blows stock out of the water.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] kchannel9:
Will anything negative occur if I restore it and it's older? Like from 1.1, and I'm on 1.3 now
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] coolwater22:
No, nothing will happen. Just make sure to wipe everything including internal memory and backup your ROM before that and flash :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] revaaron:
So, I read there are issues with charging while the phone is off, but have people has issues with it charging while the phone is on? I keep thinking "FINE I'M GETTING A S6 EDGE!" cause the phone doesn't charge and then I plug it in again and it magically charges again. Anyone seeing this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ScottieRotten:
No problem charging with any if the rwilco roms.. Currently on 1.3 ..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] revaaron:
it's weird, I've tried it on multiple chargers, multiple cables, etc... It won't charge, reboots, etc... do nothing and then while plugged in, hours later it will make a "I'm charging now" noise.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ColeTrain!:
The reason i traded in my EVO for this is because the charge receptacle on the phone went bad. I would google it and YouTube cleaning the receptacle. I dont know what options there are, bit i know for sure that dust and lint can easily get in there.

Now, my EVO receptacle was soldered on and the solder was so tiny i couldn't imagine trying to solder it myself. One of the selling point of this phone was that they use screw's.

Please bar in mind, i have not done this on this phone, just thoughts I had that might help.

Last thing. You can buy a battery on Amazon for $10. Its time. Mine just got replaced after a day of flashing everything under the sun in panic.. Lol.. The battery was the problem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] revaaron:
it's weird cause it will just all of a sudden start charging. I already have 4 different batteries, including a 3x zero lemon battery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] xjayhx:
i dont have any charging issues, though one issue i have found, regardless of resolution of picture, i can only send 2 at a time via text.

anyone else? also made the mistake of opening SU and now its says binary out of date and is frozen, titanum is saying root is lost. any suggestions?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] barelynotlegal:
yeah. I lost root somehow. tried unified tool kit (donated and thank you very much) appling root and custom recovery. then flashed SUupdate.zip via philz. still no root. dirty flashed rom and still no root. guess I will re flash (clean). after reflashing and recovering from philz will root be broken again? backup is after loosing root.

thanx in advance
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Root is lost because the supersu app was updated. DO NOT UPDATE SUPERSU APP and you wont lose root. This issue exists on pretty much every custom Sprint ne2 (4.4.2 TouchWiz) rom. If you would have read the thread it is filled with dozens of users with same issue and the answer has been posted. Also I have a post on how to fix the problem but it is only for experienced users.

So I have been using this rom for quite sometime and I noticed it has been getting laggier and laggier and that my GPS lags and at time loses my location. Any advice on how to better increase my GPS location and get rid of this lag??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwilco12:

At least she's running the ROM! :)

I just did it. Will report If inmediata still get problems. Have you noticed any lag within the rom since you have been using it for awhile?

Also when I get texts, one I get one then the second part of the message comes to me later. It varies from the time. At times I get it 10 min, other times I get it an hour later. Idk why this happens. Any suggestions?? also there are times friends call me but I never actually receive the call. Please help
