I had tried going through settings but that didn't work for me. I didn't delete the two wallpapers though. I had tried deleting Alliance folder but that didn't help either... I never got any crashes though...

I just decided to do a factory reset and when it cam back up to desktop after initial setup it then worked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nitro66215:
The problem was that the permissions on wallpaper was originally rw-rw-rw I think.... I know it wasn't rwx-- like it is now. Using root explorer and deleting those files helped me. Setting the permissions correct may work to.

I'll do a test run. ...

Couldn't replicate the problem with just permissions. Oh well. It worked for me anyway.

Freezing S-Voice seems to help a lot...that is if you don't use it. I read somewhere that it is designed to delay a certain number of ms in certain circumstances to see if a command is coming (like when you hold down the home button). I froze it and it was definitely better without it.

Running pretty good all day, 71% still since 4:30am and it's 8pm now...

Not bad for the thirdish day running, been great battery life through out and the updates to the customization settings are a nice improvement, but I admit, I've stuck with the available themes and made changes to my taste.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
Are you running TW Launcher? I run Holo Launcher HD. Nova is more widely used but I think the developers are better at marketing than Holo's. Also Nova has a few more features. But when I set the Holo scroll setting to 100% it's so fast I can't see the movement. Holo is known for being light on the system.

Also if you want a fast phone disable ALL animations. They use extra CPU cycles and battery just to slow your phone down. I do that with my computer too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
The keyboard wallpaper doesn't seem to be working properly for me, anyone else having a hard time getting it to display?

It's gone white on the background, but no image and I've even tired setting the color to transparent.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
It needs to be white. Should be working fine..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] PROBEDROID:
I can confirm that I am having the same issue as fallen00sniper. [MENTION=5056266]lacoursiere18[/MENTION], have you successfully applied a wallpaper to your keyboard? If so, could you please tell us how you were able to make it work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Goldie:
You just choose the image...set color white (or whatever color tint you want ,making sure alpha slider is to the right) and make sure that the wallpaper alpha slider is to right as well. Move the wallpaper alpha slider to the middle then let go and move back right if it doesn't work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Yes sir i have. Created 2 more themes just a couple days ago
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] PROBEDROID:
Thanks guys! That works! I appreciate your assistance and continued development on this amazing rom!

Got a bug with airplane mode toggle.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/pwvpnyb7rct2td0/airplane mode bug.zip?dl=0

Dirty flashed 29 over 28 and had it. Just fresh installed 29 and still have it. Airplane mode works, just the pop ups are messed up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] PROBEDROID:
This has been mentioned earlier in the thread and lacoursiere18 has acknowledged it as a bug and has said he will have it fixed in the next build...Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
Yep setting the background color to white fixed mine as well, thanks :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] firewater88:
Man, I usually watch this forum like a hawk. .. must have missed it. Sorry for the repeat. I know l18 will get to it.

Happy thanksgiving to all! And enjoy this rom!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] PROBEDROID:
No worries...Airplane mode works fine in settings...It's just the quick toggle that is messed up...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] obiwannn:
I'm using TW launcher. ..

I've disabled all animations and even freezed svoice

But the lag still persists. ..

lag when scrolling the home screen and app drawer, when typing and lag when navigating through some apps..

also experience lag when scrolling the settings menu and my contact list..

this rom is so sweet tho....hence I'm just managing it as a daily driver. ..dunno if a reflash would fix this? ?

Anyone else having the browser lock up after updating superuser to v2.35?

Just had to pull the battery and thew it into a reboot loop a few times before it finally booted...nothing else has been changed or added. Only updated superuser.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pmsrefugee:
Had same problem so I did factory reset and started over. No lag now. Don't know what caused it before reset.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
You could try Better Battery Stats. It'll tell you if you have a wake lock. It seems like there's an app running in the background that's causing it to lag.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
I want to change the color of these, but I never seem to find the setting.

Also looking for the font color for boxes that have cancel, ok and just once buttons, the color is stuck in black and I can't read it lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] OffTheChainz:
Happy Turkey Day everyone!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
Try: Colors - Linked or Unlinked Colors - Others - Switches.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
That was it thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] obiwannn:
a factory reset worked like charm...

now all lags are disappeared! !

thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nh97103:
Do you happen to know how to change the font colors of those on/off boxes?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
Sorry. Tapatalk is being stupid.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
I set all my text colors to the linked color. They're ok like that but now I can't get those button text colors to change to the unlinked colors. Also I haven't figured out how to change the button - on color at all. Sorry I can't be more help.

This is about the best I've come up with so far.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
I really need to figure this out, I know what they say, but I end up hesitating...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Colors, text colors, in app button text or button text
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
They are white so not sure what setting it is...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dms76:
Total brain fart didn't think of trying an updated apk. It didn't work by the way, but [MENTION=3300096]ttavis323[/MENTION] suggestion of deleting my Google account and adding work. Sorry things I should have checked first, no more working and setup phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] viper31573:
I had backed up this rom then flashed another and now I've restored backup. Now I'm having the SD card writing problem and folder mount won't run the patch again. I've even removed folder mount and reinstalled. Is there a way to run patch again or do I need to clean install rom again?

I have been surprised to find better battery life so far on this rom then build 26...

How about the usage of Xposed for app settings (change DPI) and X tether for tethering? those can be pretty useful

Not sure why you guys are having issues with WifiHotSpot.. Here is my proof that it is indeed working..

I do not use this but wouldnt this be considered working?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thunderbread:
I can't seem to get past the Alliance splash screen when flashing this on my daughter's not 2 any ideas. I rewired and reflashed several times.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MADDAN18:
Flash rom and don't reboot. Flash agni kernel, reboot. Wait 1 to 2 minutes, profit.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thunderbread:
I did that...been sitting for over 10 minutes. [emoji26]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MADDAN18:
Did you flash with twrp? Flash with philz.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] crash613:
This is great! I am one of the unfortunate ones that had gps issues with every 442 I tried... And I tried quite a few after beans stopped updating Alliance on the note 2...

This one works fantastically! Quick lock on GPS .. No issues that I have found yet! Aside from the already noted wallpaper change issue..

Thanks L8.

Edit: quick question... How do I change the scrolling on the home screen to loop? As it is, it gets to the end and stops... Same for the app drawer. Must be a simple setting, but I can't find it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dhm282:
I am currently using Safestrap to run AllianceRom 26 (phone was upgraded when I sent it out for insurance....). See my current system details in the attached screenshot.

I'm not sure what I need to do, or if I even can do anything, before I install this 4.4.2 build 27.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] NWNJ:
If you are using TWRP you may need to flash Philz, then immediatley flash AGNI, then reboot.

---------- Post added at 06:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:44 PM ----------

If you are using TWRP, you will likely need to do a factory reset, wipe the internal drive, then restore your backup.

---------- Post added at 06:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:48 PM ----------

I installed xposed and then the DS Battery Saver module and have found the best battery life I have ever seen with this rom. My entire day at work I went from 96% to 72% batter life. Unreal. Just remember to turn off your gps and bluetooth, and wifi if you don't need it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thunderbread:
Sorry...is this the correct philz to use
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MADDAN18:
That would be it. Simply flash in recovery. Note: the interface will be much different than twrp. format for a new zip install (under philz) reflashed Rom don't reboot, flash agni, reboot and enjoy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bwpoersch:
Can confirm wifi tether is not working for me either thru the dropdown or from menu settings. Defaults to the Verizon subscription page. Currently experimenting with the Wanam Xposed module but so far no luck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] firewater88:
Seems yours is working. When I started up on mine, it asked to have a tether plan. Went to the xposed module and that works. Not sure why it does on some and not others...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fateerror:
Odd.... I downloaded it and MD5 was the same. Trying to install it with TWRP and nothing is happening. All it is saying is failed.... And rebooting system just takes me back to TWRP.....

EDIT: Installed philz and worked like a charm!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] trav11887:
Can this be installed using SafeStrap?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Do you have text colors enabled?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
Not sure if i follow, but I'm using the kk theme (modified) and it seems to be enabled.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Ok so with that theme, Button text is not enabled. So go into custom settings/colors/Enable Text Colors and then enable it. It will turn white or you can adjust it to whatever you want:good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
That did the trick, thanks... so many changes since b26 lol, now I need to change the color so I can see it in xda.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Hope you guys all had a good Holiday!

New build is UP! Check out the OP for a change log. Please report any issues. This maybe the last update for a little while. This build is FLAWLESS!!

If you see the people I mentioned in the Change Log make sure you Thank them! :highfive:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] athack:
THANK YOU..... can we dirty flash or should we do a clean install? l18 what say you?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] firewater88:
I can say that I have dirty flashed all previous builds. They seem ok for a while, but clean flash is better. My 2 cents
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] athack:
yeah thats what i feel also.. sometimes just looking for a shortcut....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] glockman4519:
This is awesome Lacoursiere18. Man I am so thankful that you are building for us.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] athack:
Didnt do anything.. but lost mobile data on build 29... i need some help
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Nothing should make you loose data. I would wipe and clean install..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] athack:
I just wiped data and dalvix flashed 30 still no data..I'm going to have to try and do a clean install then if that doesn't work I'm going to try and restore working 29..then if that doesn't then I'm screwed...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hushpup131:
did install new ROM clean, TB restore, works like a charm. Thank you, hope you and your family have a great holiday together...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] SlimeYKW:
I just installed build 30 and lost wifi. When I turn it on, it just shuts off. I'm on MJ9, and the md5 checks out good.

Any suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thechaoz:
Coming from stock rooted 4.4.2 should I full wipe? What are those options philz...check everything?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] LiTDiE:
How long after installing and rebooting should it stay on alliance logo?

10 minutes and counting.

MD5 is correct, tried 2 different recoveries so far across half dozen builds.

Clean wipes.

Installs carbon rom and stock debloat fine btw.

-edit-

Had to go all the way back to TWRP 2.6
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] roblikeschocolatecake:
I'm currently on build 26 from when beans still developed the rom. How would I go about updating to build 30 of this one properly? I tried doing so the other day and kept getting an error and wasn't even able to get to Aroma. I believe the error was something about error status 6? I'm not sure it's been a bit since I tried. Any help is appreciated.

Also, if someone could please direct me to the correct ATT apn settings that would be great. I found some that work for the most part but MMS doesn't work.

Thanks :)

It took 4 different fresh installs but seems perfect after this last try.

I had the same wifi problem using the stock Kernal. I used Agni Kernal and it works fine. 5G a/c/n wifi connections also works this time around.

Im using agni kernel and wifi and hotspot work fine
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nh97103:
Before I flash 30, is wifi working for anyone on the stock kernel?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Woof_:
On the stock kernel here. WiFi is working just great.

Used Phil recovery as recommended.

Wiped system, data, and factory reset. All 3 times. Maybe overkill but tired of the residual flotsam from previous builds. Working great this go.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nh97103:
One more question: Is there any way to change the color of the menu icons? I'm pretty sure there used to be a way to do it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
Working fine with stock kernel here too. Used Philz. Selected "Clean to install a new rom" then "Wipe data & data media (sdcard)".
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] crash613:
Thanks for all the hard work!!! This update is amazing. I have updated to a note 4, but still have my note 2. My daughter just wrecked her iphone, so she is using my note 2. I was a couple of updates behind. getting caught up. God damn! i miss being rooted! Hopefully she will enjoy your ROM as much as i have!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] roblikeschocolatecake:
I screwed up something bad :( Don't quite know what I did wrong it was really late last night, but I'm getting an error anytime I boot up the phone I get a message stating I don't have verizon software on the phone and to take it to the nearest verizon store. I'm able to get into download mode tho. Please help, girlfriend needs her phone back :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pmsrefugee:
I set up SIM lock (which I've done before) and managed to lock myself out of the phone. It wanted my PUK password. WTF! 10 tries and you're SOL. Don't panic if this happens to you. Just go to MyVerizon.com, log in and go to My Device. You will find the PUK password. I had to enter it to unlock and again to create new password and confirm. Once back in the phone go to settings / Security and uncheck lock SIM card. Even the Verizon website says it's not a good idea to lock SIM card.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nh97103:
Uh, oh. Did she take an OTA update? Was the bootloader unlocked? If she took an update, it definitely wasn't. If she didn't, Odin back to stock (whatever version you unlocked the bootloader with).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] roblikeschocolatecake:
Well the entire time I had the phone I always ran Beans rom on it. When I got my Note 4 I decided to give her the old Note 2. It was running Beans rom build 26 (Not sure if it went by the Alliance name yet?). It ran fine but the battery life sucked so I was going to update to Alliance build 29(30 wasn't out just yet). I wiped data/cache/dalvik, did a factory reset, then attempted to flash build 29. It failed before reaching Aroma installer with a status error 7(A few posts up I have a picture of the error). So I tried again, same error. I wasn't sure what happened, so I went ahead and tried flashing the MJ9 firmware, and then build 29, but still no luck. So I went ahead to try and go back to build 26. Something went wrong here, I don't know what. But when I tried doing this, it got stuck in the Samsung logo boot loop. I tried flashing the MJ9 firmware through ODIN, still boot looping. I tried flashing back to stock, it said it worked fine. However, now it's stuck on this: "System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest Verizon Wireless store for help."

I don't know what to do at this point. I tried flashing the root66 fix, no luck. It said it passed but the phone was still stuck on that screen. I am able to get into download mode, so I'm not completely screwed yet, I hope.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] athack:
Flashed with Philz everything working fine including WiFi. .. 1 issue how do I change the background screen for voice mail and in call... need something dark can't see with those boobs as the background. ...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
Sounds like you need to follow the guide to start over with Odin and return the device to the stock rom it came with and then root again to get back to a custom rom.

Anyone try video calls on 30? Says it isn't available on 29.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] roblikeschocolatecake:
Any idea which of the firmware I should flash? Internet isn't that fast so would be great to download the correct one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jnewberry1:
Incoming or outgoing call UI. How do you change the background? I have a pretty female on their by default but not sure my wife would approve of that.

Sent from my SCH-I605
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
It would be the one you started with, a call to Verizon can answer that since they seem to track everything with the sale, you don't want to Odin the wrong version or you will have a paper weight of sorts.

I know mine came with 4.1.2, but some came with 4.1.1.

I called them when I couldn't remember and they were able to help find out and I just told them I needed to get it back to the original firmware for the guy buying it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] roblikeschocolatecake:
I'll try that. It's being used on ATT but worth a shot to ask them. I remember getting the Note 2 the day it came out, so I'd imagine it may be on 4.1.1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
I believe it would be, if you got it right away then a Google search for the release android version should be safe enough to base your download on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
the problem is you did not boot into recovery after odin and wipe/data factory reset. some stock packages do not wipe data(root66). give that a try and report back. Sorry I do not frequent this section anymore, but you can always pm me with questions. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] roblikeschocolatecake:
Ok thanks I'm downloading the 4.1.1 firmware now. Three hours left...

Apparent Lost Root?

Installed build 30 (clean, latest TWRP) and all seemed to go without issue. Had WiFi and no apparent issues - until I tried to run Titanium Backup. It just sat there and hung at "asking for Root". Tried to use Root Checker which returned a message I don't have root. Tried to install/update SuperSU from both Google Play as well as in TWRP.

Any idea(s) as to what might have happened or what I might have done wrong? Have subsequently installed the latest CM nightly and now TB is working as expected.

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mising:
Glad I saw this, Any idea yet on how to change it? Did not find anything in custom settings. Gonna have to dig through the system folder to try and find the image and change/delete it.

Pull InCallUI.apk from system/app in build 29 should do the trick. Sorry about that forgot to take that out

Am I slow or blind or something? Or is the option to wake screen when you press home key no longer available?
