I've actually been using model 750 since earlier this year; first time having this issue. I have my phone on my hip and it's crackling, but when i hold it chest-high it's fine; it's like the alotted range went from 20+ feet to 2. It's weird.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] quepaso:
The only problems I'm having on this rom so far is that when i say ok Google, it takes a second before it will hear anything I'm saying. The other is that if i use seconds on the clock, the pm goes before the seconds instead of after.

Compatability

Will this ROM work on verizon galaxy note 2 on 4.4.2 ND7 running safestrap?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] NWNJ:
I had the same problem. Make sure to install with Philz NOT Twrp and I would flash the Agni kernel immediately after flashing the new Alliance Build but before restarting the phone. I know it does not say that but it usually fixes this problem. It did for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
4.4.2 has safestrap? If so then most likely..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] LTLFTCer:
Any reason the phone could "bog" down? It is the wifes phone, so I don't touch it often, but seems the unlock screen takes a bit to recognize touches, and once into the main screen...movements take a second to interact.

I keep getting "swiftkey unable to save dynamic language module" error message. Is there a fix for this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
I can't say I definitely know about this but I was getting that error before. Since I flashed version 29 I haven't. But one of the first things I did was apply the Int-SDCard Write Fix. Have you done that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigtymeplayer85:
safestrap 4.4.2

I got safestrap to work by using the supersu 2.23 beta, it has the ability to turn selinux enforce to permissive. So do i need to flash gapps to? What about a custom kernel? Safedtrap cant do that because of the locked bootloader on 4.4.2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pcsperson:
Mine does the same thing. Turning off the always listening "Ok google" Speed it up. I was not sure if this was ROM issue or software in 4.4.2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] madmuthertrucker:
Well I reflashed it. Then I saw your comment, so I applied the Int-SDCard Write Fix, which I found baked in. It's all good now, thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] alarmo:
When I have the alarm clock on and the phone in landscape, when the alarm goes off the phone crash and reset the wallpaper, waited until I verified it about 6 times.

Everything else is perfect.

which is really ironic ... considering your xda handle lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pcsperson:
Is there a way to have the phone

not

turn on, when plugging it into the charger? Is anyone else having this problem?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] alarmo:
I install car alarms and remote starters.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jusliloleme:
Short answer, no there is no solution. Longer answer, it isn't the ROM, it's built into 4.4.x and everyone is having the same "problem" so no worries.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Weird. Can you pull a log for me.. Please and ty

Yes. This is bc the bootloader. The people that took this OTA ND7 4.4.2 do not have this issue. Since we are all on a 4.1.2 some changes is effecting this. Nothing I can do about it sorry

Its just on every 4.4.2 without the new bootloader.. which is poison loll

I have the same problem with my Tone 730. Worked perfectly on slim rom and now after going to build 29 the music/call audio will sound fine for a few minutes and then start to get choppy. It is not an issue with the bluetooth device. It works fine with my work PDA as well as with the vehicle. Are there previous builds that people are aware of that did not have this problem? I love the Rom, but for this bluetooth issue, and that is critical for my need that it syncs properly with the BT device. I cleaned wiped and everything before coming to this Rom. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ruddogg:
Thanks!

I flashed the Agni kernel and used Philz & I'm booted up now.

Finally came back to from CyanogenMod and so far really impressed with stability. Still not a big fan of TouchWiz after two years with the Note II but the Android L theme really helps. Really appreciate the excellent effort from the developer.

Quick question. Am I missing an option to wake the phone by pressing the home key instead of just the power button?

Done a few searches and didn't see mention.

Anyone? I have seen another person ask as well. No responses. I wouldn't mind it if it wasn't 25 degrees off.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wigsajumper:
This is what worked for me. Bring up lock screen. Long press on widget. Waste basket should appear just like when you are removing icon from home screen. Dump it into trash
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Cadillac Kid:
Long pressing does nothing for me on the lock screen. I tried both Samsung lock and aosp lock.

Can someone post ore info on how to upload the log file I download the program from the app store and saved the log uploading is the problem.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tlpayton:
Find Catlog (I use the one by Nolan Lawson) in the playstore and install it. Once installed open it and it gives you the option to save the log file or send it via email, dropbox etc. Fairly simple and straightforward
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Goldie:
Don't use a program to do the log. Just copy any dumpstate_sys_error.txt.gz and dumpstate_app_error.txt.gz from data/log to sd then upload somewhere like Dropbox. This way it is guaranteed to include the needed information. Often when people take a log themselves it is missing important pieces of information. Dumpstates give ALL the details
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
Well that's good to know. I've always used Terminal Emulator to take a logat with good results but that should be better. Thanks for this.

won't work for me

Currently I'm on dn3 n3bula rom 4.3... I can't get philz .46 recovery to backup anything for me like of the current rom I have nor will it let me update to the lastest Philz which I see is .48. I've looked all over the forum but no dice. Could someone help please. I was using twrp but saw in the op not to use this to download rom and that it was causing root issues. But philz is very different. Never used any other recovery but twrp but really want to download this rom and then just just wait hopefully for custom Android L roms. Please help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
What Android version were you on before you flashed Alliance? It looks like you were on 4.1.2. Most of us ran 4.3 before we switched to 4.4.2. In order to run 4.3 we had to odin the 4.3 firmware. Do you have the Samsung USB Drivers installed on your computer.

Alliance 29 runs great with the MJ9 Firmware. Some folks prefer it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kytkad:
Used mobile odin to install it, it works now. I came from beans alliance rom to this then to liquid rom snd now back here. I know i have the drivers working and odin is running right, just rooted my galaxy tab. Hopping alliance goes to thd tanlets now lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] glockman4519:
I used one of the ND7 zip files found here on XDA forums for this phone that are flashable in recovery and it is working great for me. I was a bit worried it wouldn't work without flashing via Odin, but no problems at all with WiFi or blue tooth. I was on MJ9 and that i did via Odin though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] analyst1st:
Thanks for the link but...

I appreciate the link to Philz but going into recovery won't actually let me install it. It says bad in parentheses like this (bad) as if the zip was bad or something and then it just aborts the installation. I have all the prerequisites and everything for the rom. I have odin'ed to mj9, im rooted, and ready to go. Would've installed with twrp but saw that the op said not to and didn't want to risk problems. But Philz for whatever reason is not letting me do what I'm trying to do or been suggested to do which is what i've always done which is do a backup and then install new rom. I've been custom since before beans 22 so i've been doing it for awhile. just doesn't feel right to me to do it and I can't get a backup or seem to get philz to act right.

Just flashed this last night from liquid smooth 4.4.4 wiping clean plus formatting my internal memory.

1) restored my apps with Tibu..and they all force closing?

2) how do I enable VPN support in this rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
Did you verify the md5 checksum? Maybe you do have a bad zip. It's been known to happen.

---------- Post added at 04:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:43 AM ----------

Liquid smooth is AOSP. This is TW. You can't use TiBu to restore your apps. They don't mix. You're going to have to start fresh with the apps.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] joker2428:
Yeah I can get over 5 hrs. screen time from a full charge if I used it non stop too but use it like you normally would and after almost three days, that's a different story, don't forget that screen time is not the only thing sucking up juice, consider talk time, playing music, etc. That 2 1/2 days was also including almost 4 hrs. of media playing from using my phone to play music in my car over Bluetooth, plus the 1 hr. in phone calls and the 3 hrs. screen time....yeah that's pretty great. Hats off to everyone working on this rom, it's been a while since I've stopped caring about my battery on a daily basis, thank you again.

Every time I ever set up a rom it would act up some while I was still setting it all up. Then after I'm finished and have done a couple reboots it smooths out and runs right and battery life lengthens. This rom runs smooth and fast and has great battery life for me.

Google apps?

Hi there -

Had been using Sophisticated ROM and just switched to this ROM. Before installing it, I did a clean and full wipe, then installed the .zip file. All seems to have worked fine BUT I don't seem to have any of the Google apps (Play Store, etc). Also, when I try to add a Google account, it says there was a problem communicating with Google servers. Is that to be expected? And if so, can someone please point me to where I should get those apps -- I want to make sure I'm getting the correct version.

Thanks in advance!

And still couldn't create a Google account on the phone (gave me the same error that it can't connect to Google servers).

Would really appreciate help here...pretty much can't use the phone without the Play Store. And I'm surprised that at having this issue -- would think that installing the Play Store and other Google apps should be pretty easy, no?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MADDAN18:
Gapps only apply to CM roms. This Rom already has the important item's i..e playstore etc. It's also a good idea to format data along with formating for a new Rom installation:

Under philz:

mounts and storage /format/data and data/media/sdcard - format. It may take up to one minute to complete, all will be clean and ready for the flash
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Don't get it either bc that's how it's fixed. Did you try deleting it then dirty flash the rom?

There is no issues with gapps on this rom. I would recommend a complete wipe and re install
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nitro66215:
I was on Sophisticated as well.... Did a data wipe/factory reset.... to the ND7 stock de-odexed rom .... verified all working.... gapps were already on there....

then I installed this rom.... did NOT do a factory wipe... seams to be working just fine.

I agree with the below....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cloudcover:
Thanks, seem to have it working now. After booting into the system, I went under settings and chose the Factory Reset option. After that was done, I was at least able to to connect to Google's servers to sign into an account, but couldn't complete that because of 2-step verification. So I turned off 2-step verification but still no Play Store etc, so I followed your suggestion (and that of a subsequent commentor) to do a clean install. I'm using Philz and did a Dalvik Wipe 3 times, used the Philz option for a clean wipe to install a ROM (or something like that), then used the Philz Factory Reset/Data wipe 3 times, then used the Philz Wipe cache 3 times, then followed your instructions for formatting data and media. Whew! After all of that, I installed the Alliance ROM again and all seems to be working fine.

Don't know if it was because I had 2-step verification on before, whether it was the multiple wipes, your formatting suggestion, or what, but it's working now and I thought I'd mention my steps in case someone else has a similar problem. Thanks again to those who responded (so quickly!) for the help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] *Hooligan*:
Try this as this is what I had to do to be able to change wallpapers...

Perform a factory reset in philz.

Boot up and reset your info and get to main screen.

When the phone gets to desktop immediately change wallpapers.. do not set to a new theme yet.

It should set for you and then it should work. This worked for me.
