What steps did you take? Which recovery? Did you flash a kernel?As this would be helpful
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thisguyeh:
Sorry I left that out . Philz Recovery . Wiped to install new Rom. That's all. I tried with Agni and without Agni .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fateerror:
I'm having the same issue right now! As of now, it's just stuck on the galaxy note 2 screen and that's it.

Edit: I went back to recovery mode and just reinstalled the update. It's now at the alliance screen. Just hoping it brings me to set up now.

Im sending the .zip to my sdcard now. well see what it does!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] golfinglenn:
I installed with Philz, wiped to install new rom x3, I am now sitting at setup screen and letting that percolate for 10 mintues before touching phone. Not sure if that is necessary, but has been a habit for long long time lol. But, it all loaded fine so there is confirmation that it's working lol. Also, used stock kernal, not Agni.

Im going to miss AGNI with some features. Especially the headphone volume control. I always turned that up and the touch to wake feature. Im running my usual backup in recovery at the moment before i wipe and flash just incase lol

Love the blacked out dialer!!!!!!!

NJI use camcard free to take photos of business cards. Lately the says the photo is not in jpeg format. Not sure why it started. Would backing up the SD card and reformatting it do any good. I've run folder mount and fixed the problem on coping files and also sdfix which says everything is ok.

Using 27 and stock kernel. Latest philz too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] golfinglenn:
How do you get the themes to actually take? I go into custom settings, Alliance Manager, Choose theme, and when I choose a theme on the list it doesn't do anything. I have run into this before but forget how I fixed it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] firewater88:
Just dirty flashed. I removed xposed before I flashed, hoping I wouldn't need it. Tether was still asking for subscription (yes I'm still on unlimited)

A couple reboots and all seems to be running well. Themes still there and love the blacked out dialer. White keyboard is kinda funky. Air command works. Can't get it to open pop up note though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Goldie:
Keyboard may be white cos thats default if he added the themeable one. Not sure if he did or not yet :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
I did..keyboard is fully colorable..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Goldie:
In that case....time for one of these to show what it can look like... :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ace2d:
So this guy just accidentally deleted his tb folder. So I'm running a completely fresh install with nothing restored but my sms. So far so go it's smooth, GPS works will be testing WiFi when I get home and Bluetooth also but so far so good. The theme is pretty amazing it feels different but crisp. The dialer is pretty sweet but I noticed the bottom row of buttons are themed and the top aren't when you are on a call. Don't know if that was intentional. Also menu from home screen is transparent. Won't bother me because I don't use stock launcher but might be an issue for others. Amazing work dude... thanks for putting in the time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Everything is colorable.. dialer.. you change the tip header color and number color. The menus I made transparent bc those can be colored as well..I wanted to be able to make them semi transparent bc if there was a image behind setting the color to semi transparent wpuld show the image behind it..therefore not being transparent at all
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mdblaze:
Ok, so I cannot seem to remember which setting changes the background color for the notifications in the drop down.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Background..notification items
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] joker2428:
Any possible way to install the dialer from B27?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mdblaze:
Hmm... no matter what I change the notification item background to, it stays black on my phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Goldie:
If an item is already received ir won't change as it has already been built
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] athack:
Got all my colors so I can see them. . Now the only issue is in getting force close after opening email? Cleared data still closing?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jnewberry1:
WiFi works on the first boot up but as soon as I reboot no more WiFi. Can't turn the switch or get Smart Network to even turn it on if I turn data off. Loved that dialer too. The theming looked top notch. Any suggestions on why my WiFi won't turn on?

Sent from my SCH-I605
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
I have no issues with either of these things.. use email for school open it everyday..

Never had wifi issues..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] KuNiT:
Has anyone done a full wipe and able to boot without installing AGNI on the new build?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ultra74:
I was having that issue. I wanted to do a full wipe, but I found out that philz was NOT completely deleting settings or data when doing a factory. I kept getting a "too many files open" message as well. When I tried to format internal data manually, it just quit and did nothing. What I did was reinstall TWRP and formatted the internal data, system, boot, (except external SD) that way.

I then loaded up odin 3.07 and reapplied the"toltevzw_mj9_official_firmware.tar.md5" via bootloader mode and went and did a clean flash from philz after that. All has been good since.

What I found but could not pin down was maybe internal data was corrupt somehow. Some posts mentioned formatting "/preload" partition, but none of the custom recoveries could see that. I assume when reflashing from odin, it cleared them all out as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Yes..

For you guys having issues booting without agni.. have you tried flashing a stock recovery in odin..doing a factory reset..and then try flashing the build with philz? You can find a data partition fix in General section explaining these steps..

This basically wipes your phone completely resetting all partition blocks on your phone.. very easy process..try it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
^^^ this is what im talking about. Without properly wiping the data partition and other things, will result in this ROM not working correctly. .

Glad you got it fixed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] viper31573:
Which setting changes this white on white?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
You change text colors..one of them not sure exactly

Edit: try in app selection text
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ultra74:
I think what maybe tripping people up is that they think Philz is clearing things out, but it is not. It seems to silently fail the internal data wipe and keeps going.

Your note about the data partition fix and reflashing odin seems to be the way to go about making sure a clean start is made.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Agreed and thanks for your experience and info.

Since 4.3 recoveries for this phone have been all over the place.. not wiping properly, root not sticking, corrupting partions..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gnafin:
Any way to get the calendar app back..I like the one on 27. Where I can use my pen to leave a note.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dms76:
How do I fix the following white on white text and the translucent menu bar? I haven't changed any settings yet and didn't want to make it worse. I did not have theses issues in b27.

I had trouble booting without angi, I formatted each partition manually in philz. Did a clean install and an immediate dirty and all worked okay.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] viper31573:
Now my settings is black text on black. I don't know what I did to change that
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
The first pick is in colors/enable text colors..then go to colors/text colors/in app list selection..

Second pick is colora/background/list menu background enable it..color it.. reset tw launcher.

I made them transaprent so people could make it a semi transparent.. with a image behond it like stock..thats not possible..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ultra74:
New settings

After flashing the latest 28 (lots of changes, not complaining, its cool!), I noticed that the incoming call was being spoken out loud.

After digging around, the setting to turn this off seems to be in : Accessibility -> Answering and ending calls -> Voice control

Not very intuitive, so I figured I'd post it.

I'm still getting some odd blocks of type,buttons,menus with white on white as mentioned before. Can't seem to get everything tidied up though. The theme "RedandGrey" seems to come close, but still has some app elements that are off. Is there a comparable theme to what was on 27?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Go into colors.. There is Linked and Unliked.. If you got into Linked Colors..double check and see what colors are not Linked..

I built this ROM and it took me over three weeks to get a general idea where everything is..I still loose somethings. But once you get a feel for it.. the possibilities are ENDLESS/INFINITE..lol no lie:p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Goldie:
If you have white on white then just disable all the text colors and backgrounds for popups and lists or (and this is even more left field than the previous statement) choose text colors that aren't white! Thought that was pretty obvious but judging by the amount of questions on all devices Im beginning to question myself...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dms76:
I've unlinked the colors, change the colors, restarted tw, restarted the phone. I can't seem to change the pop up colors in Google play. It's still white on white, maybe I am still missing something. I had no problems changing transparency on the menu pop up that I mentioned prior.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] *Hooligan*:
Great rom man. No issues at all as of yet. Install went perfect first time, I do have a question though. Where do I change the theme of the keyboard?

Thanks!

** nevermind...found it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] joker2428:
I've been trying to copy the build 27 incallui and secphone apk file from system/app and system/private app and setting the permissions and rebooting but still get the blacked out dialer on build 28... is the black dialer baked in or something?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fkfmfz:
Edit...delete
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Thanks man still get mixed up with somethings..loll

Goto you internal sdcard..see if you have a file called theme-txt in emulated/0/alliance-tweak/..if not that maybe the issue..

Colors/linked-unlinked/keyboard

That bc your not replacing the right app.. and if you do..youll prob have issues..whats the problem? What do you want changed? The background can be changed in custom settings/background/system/ set the color to white do add a wallpaper/add contacts to whitelist..if you want a color or gradient just choose on that screen
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] athack:
ive been trying everything cant seem to find were to turn off the incoming call announcements... any help, I tried in accessability, calls, sounds, also, got the color thing down still having problems with email closing.. didnt happen on build 27? using 3rd party app from google play and its working fine? any suggestions ive already cleared cache and data deleted accounts and started fresh

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] joker2428:
I'm trying to get the dialer from build 27 on the new build... nothing wrong with the new dialer it's just I like the one hand operation and ui look among other things from the previous dialer...is that possible?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaveKnowsAll:
Installed 28 last night and I MAP server (SSL security, accept all certificates) email DC for me too. Sets up just fine, and downloads folders, then starts to DC when retrieving messages. I turned off notifications, but didn't help. Exchange email still working great.

YES, I am running xposed, because I set up the exchange email first and the security hack built into the ROM doesn't work for me (screen lock policy still enforced)

. I had the same issue in build 27.

Air command and other new features in build 28 are working for me though! And GPS is lightning quick. Thanks again!

No magazine isn't deleted or turned off. . My magazine is running. .

Thanks for the reply Brian.. I did what was in post 467 earlier and incoming calls are still being announced. . I've turned everything of that I can think of that would do that I'm at a loss. Also I'm not running any exposed... ..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ultra74:
I remember one of the popup mentions call announce options in S Voice. I have mine frozen since it used to clash with google back in the days. Try that and see if it goes away.

SecCalendar_NAmerica_SPen.apk

i like the older calendar. i got this from 27. but i cant load it. SecCalendar_NAmerica_SPen.apk

thanks for any help..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pmsrefugee:
I had a corrupted data partition or something else screwed up my sd card. I followed Brian's instructions to look under the General comments section to find how to fix corrupt data/cache partition. I was able to Odin back to stock and then to install philz recovery to install build 28 by doing the following.

I downloaded stock_mc3_recovery.tar.md5 and installed it successfully through Odin. I ran recovery and wiped data/cache. Then I downloaded the philz_touch_6.48.4-i605.tar.md5 and also installed that through Odin. From Philz 48 I installed the zip for build 28. When I reboot it always gets stuck on the galaxy tab screen. I waited for at least 10 minutes before pulling battery.

Did I miss a step somewhere along the way? I also formatted by sd card through my pc to Fat32 and checked the md5 on build 28. Not sure what went wrong?

any suggestions?

Writing here to say goodbye as I'm moving on to Note 4 =). It's a bittersweet feeling since there's such a strong support for Note 2 in XDA community. Just wanna give out a shoutout to lacoursiere18 & his team for making multiple solid ROMs and let me enjoy my Note 2 days to its fullest potential. Have fun guys!

You can turn off caller announcement under the hands free mode....turn on and then unchecked options then turn back off.

Everything has been perfect with this rom except my music is skipping just like before. I guess I'll reinstall it and give it the acid test with no apps in it. It seems to be ok til I hook it to my car through Bluetooth.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mdblaze:
I had this problem before. Download folder mount from play store and run it. If that does not fix it, then download and flash superSU.zip. It fixed my root issues with my internal sd.

---------- Post added at 11:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:19 PM ----------

There probably is an easier way, but this should fix it:

Edit /system/usr/keylayout/gpio-keys.kl.

Key 172 should read "key 172 HOME WAKE"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] *Hooligan*:
Mine says that but it still doesn't wake the phone..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mdblaze:
In the AllianceRom Settings, under lockscreen and security settings, try selecting and then unselecting wake with home key.

Atleast my computer programing degree worked for something...lol. As many times as I have been helped in the AllianceRom thread, it is always nice know I was able to help others.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] *Hooligan*:
That fixed it for me too...one thing is that setting was set to enabled already. I had checked it to disabled then unchecked it to enable it again before it worked. Not sure why it wouldn't work the first time.

I had to do the same thing to turn off the audible caller announcement....weird.

In App Text Color

I have read post #466, #469, #476 but was not able to solve the problem. I don't know if its just my phone :( . There is something funny happening in my case. When I change the color of In App List Selection Text Color it doesn't change the color of the google play pop up as described in the previous posts(If I understood previous post correctly). But when I change the Power Menu Text color it changes the color of the google play pop up(don't know if its normal) as well as the power menu(i think this is normal). Please see screenshots below so that it becomes clear what I am trying to say. Sorry for bad english. :) Please help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Goldie:
Some things got mixed up. Its a new mod and theres a lot of parts to it. Getting everything linked to the right things has only just been done. So the answer i guess is wait a little
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dms76:
Thank you, I was able to figure out mods so I can see all my texts. Our developer is doing an excellent job and I'm greatful he picked up a project that was dying.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
I found out my music skips when the screen shuts off at screen timeout. If it's set for 2 minute timeout I get 2 minutes of skip free music. Set for 5 minutes I get 5 minutes. But whenever it shuts off it skips badly.

Also I don't know how many amps my car charger provides but I'm pretty sure it's not giving the 2 amps my wall charger does. I guess I need to look into that. But it seems like a power thing. With my Droid Charge I had to set the CPU to 200 minimum to get music to play skip free at all.

Just a thought. Could a person set a Tasker profile to crank the power up while Bluetooth is running? I'm going to look into that.

Update: To those who don't have skipping issues. Are any of you running Viper4Android? It's a music effects processor that I absolutely can't live without. It causes more power consumption but it's worth it. The sound I get from my earphones and car stereo is incredible. Like I said I

WILL

use Viper no matter what rom I need. I'm going to need Agni Kernel to raise CPU levels. Does it really cause problems?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] aptalca:
No skipping here. I use Google play music daily and no effects processor.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dhouston10:
I wish I could remember the source, but I read a while back that ad-blockers could cause skipping too. I don't know how true it is though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jam2315:
My music only skips when connected to car via bluetooth. Other than that I get no problems...even when I use headphones. So it's a Bluetooth deal I'd say??? Or maybe a power deal as I always have my phone charging at the same time in the car. Maybe not getting enough power hell idk. I will try to play it today without plugging it up
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
I can run mine from the headphone output to an auxiliary input on mine. I'm sure I tried it but don't really remember the results. I've tried so damn many things it's all starting to run together in my mind.

I had no ad blocker for a while and it was still doing it. Thanks anyway.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jnewberry1:
Okay. I was having problems with the WiFi not turning on after reboot so I Odin ed to stock. Anyways that wasn't the issue. Flashing either YouTube, Hangouts, Play Store, or Weather Channel from Guns inverted apps is the culprit because it did it again. Doesn't make sense.

I have to have inverted apps. Guess I'll try to push them manually after I make a nandroid.

WiFi problems.

I'm having the same WiFi problem that I was having with b27, my WiFi automatically disconnects and connects at least 4 or 5 times a minute. Clean flash with philz running stock kernel, the weird thing is that it started today 2 days after the install. Any suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nswenson:
My was skipping a lot too, to the point I couldn't use it. A reboot fixes it for me. Next time it happens I'll trying closing some apps, toggling bluetooth, etc.

Update: Started skipping again within 10 minutes of rebooting. Only happens on my BOSE Soundlink Mini. My Klipsh KMC3 and car A2DP are fine. Didn't have this issue with build 27. Really use my Bose a lot, so I need to figure this out.
