Hey L18, congrats on this very customizable and awesome rom... I'm having this very annoying problem with Wi-Fi, where it randomly disconnects and connects at least 3 or 4 times a minute, which in turn makes wifi unusable. Clean install with philz, running stock kernel.

Also do you think this is something you guys might be interested in adding to the rom?http://xdaforums.com/xposed/modules/mod-notification-mod-t2501926.. I like using it but since xposed has given me problems I don't wanna install it. 2 more things, would it be possible to bring back torch on menu press on lockscreen, and long press menu to kill? I know I can turn on long press back to kill, but I prefer it on the menu instead.

Thanks L18 and the Alliance team..

I'm not sure but I think you have to updated from the play store..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
So notification panel on secured lockscreen? Is that what this is doing? We can see and maybe look into it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] anaya1213:
Yes that's what it does, any suggestions on the wifi issue, I'd love to get back on B28.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
Besides when you download Wanam Xposed it says it MIGHT work with custom roms but it's meant for stock roms. Also I never got as good of results with Wanam as this.

Update: I just thought od another point. Xposed is a generic program that's supposed to be a one size fits all thing. I used it but never really trusted it. The only reason I used it was I aways ran stock TW roms.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] NWNJ:
I installed 28 and was having the same force close of stock email that others have reported. I do love some of the other features that were added though, such as the additional clock features. I had to go back to 27 though because the force close on stock email doesn't allow me to read my email.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Not at all my friend.. You have a log? This is stocked base Rom, nothing in wifi or with wifi was touched..

No I have not tried folder mount dms76 thanks! Never heard of it till now.. downloading now thanks for the heads up!

Build 28 has Int-SDCard Write Fix included. It is made by one of our devs.. works good for this issue

VVM APK

I got the Verizon Visual Voicemail APK from the link in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2768874

The "fix" in this thread did work in Build 27 but not in 28. My company uses Visual Voicemail due to the fact that they are easier to copy and move from user to user.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
If you upload a log for me on the force close I can take a peek and possibly see what is causing the issue
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] *Hooligan*:
I did find a "little" bug but nothing major. The shutter sound in the camera does not work. I turned it to off but it still makes sound. Just a little fyi.... this rom is the bomb!

He was looking for a way to do sdswap with this rom, I suggested foldermount as a way to redirect folders to the SDCard.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jam2315:
Any way to hide certain albums in gallery like used to??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Taxmaster:
Well, I tried build 28 but wow does it have issues.

And honestly, I think the customization of colors is overblown. It's so overkill and some of the key functionality just wasn't there. Aroma installer would be nice so you can choose options ahead of time. It's a pain to manually iterate through everything once it's booted up.

Back to Beans 22 for me.

Loooool. I love comments like this. Just shows how much you miss the point. Issues such as? Key functionality such as? Iterate manually through things such as? And if you don't like the colors and settings.....don't touch em. That's the whole idea. Everything is optional. There's no need for bloomin aroma!

I don't get why people post comments like this. If you don't like it don't use it or post constructively. No need to rub the devs nose in it like that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Taxmaster:
Honestly too many issues to summarize. It seems every other thing I did would cause a force crash (and that's after a full wipe and running off the MJ9).

it's not that I don't like colors, it's just too complicated in my opinion. I liked having the option to install different kernels, choose different launchers, certain media options, keyboards, etc.

Is that so wrong? Aroma was awesome. Keep in mind that a lot of people run classic Beanstown (pre-Alliance) ROMs because they work GREAT.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] txr33:
That is such a helpful post.

What are the issues? You dont know how to use it

The colours are all completely changeable as well as nearly every mod in the rom. If thats too complicated and cumbersome and you think it is better and easier to reflash a rom with aroma options to change one thing then obviously you dont belong here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Taxmaster:
Read my other post. I definitely fully understand how to use it. I just think it takes far too long getting it to the desired state because so many options that were easily configured now have to be manually performed. This was a really nice feature of Aroma. Get some of the basics out of the way, then do the manual customization. With this ROM, everything can be customized which is nice, but also takes a lot of time.

We all belong here. We're one community that just has different views across it's member base.

You lost me....or you actually don't realise how easy it is. Open AllianceManager set s5 style. Done. Hard? No.

It sounds like you did something wrong if you were getting fc all over. Do you really think a rom would be released if that happened to everyone?

...actually....forget it. Enjoy 22

It's all good. Keep in mind that many ROM releases have errors ... a lot of which happen to everyone. Happened to look through the change log lately to see all the bugs that have been fixed?

Once again, it's not about my knowledge of how to use this ROM, it's a matter of preference.

I had a few problems with 28...but 27 has been great. My battery life has never been better.

Huge props to the devs for keeping this device alive awhile longer...easily buys me another few months to help decide on which phone to upgrade to.

Thanks all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] LTLFTCer:
Having read through every post tonight glad to see some minor issues being fixed. Hope the visual voice mail is fixed eventually as well. Also the main thing is the nfc error. This really bugs my phone out on startup. Really the issue is it is my wife's phone and she finds ways to break everything lol. But overall really awesome rom to keep the note 2 alive and well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] NWNJ:
I agree, this ROM is amazing, and I am looking forward to the fixes to the email app so I can upgrade to the latest. As for the new phone I would look into the Nexus 6.

On 28? I turned it off (in the camera settings itself) and it turned off correctly for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] *Hooligan*:
Yes, I'm on 28. Not sure why it don't work for me then. I went to camera setting and turned it on. Took a pic and heard shutter sound. Went back and turned it off and took another pic. Sound still there...everything else Is working perfect. It's no biggie though, just kinda weird.

Shutter Sound

Hello, I had the same issue on my Note II. I eventually just renamed the shutter sounds to silence the camera.

Hmmm, 16 hours since the last post. This will probably be another real quiet thread because people don't have many problems. That's how you know a good rom.

I now have everything set up like it was before except no Tasker. My music stuttering issue is gone. I haven't made up my mind about trying to get it going again. I guess that could go either way. Thanks for the awesome rom [MENTION=5056266]lacoursiere18[/MENTION]. I really like it.

Any updates on getting stock kernel to work instead of AGNI? As reported by another user, ODINding back prior to MJ9 and rerooting does not fix the issue. Has anyone figured anything out yet?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Yes been in a discussion with some fellow devs, smarter than me ;), about the issue..

Question, those having issues.. Are you on the latest ND7 Modem?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] KuNiT:
Awesome....good to see you guys are working on it. Would be a nice gift for Update 29 being able to boot stock kernel. I can attest I am using ND7 modem, yes.

Ok so nothing in OP about wiping. Also what's this about custom kernel? I had to send my phone out months ago for screwing something up.

Yes, ND7 here.

P.S. I was able to boot with the stock kernel with build 28 thanks! Never been able to before. But, having problems with gallery FC'n, and other various issues. Loaded AGNi and it's been working/running perfectly. I would still like the idea of stock, so anything you can do would be appreciated. Thanks again for all your hard work to make this rom the best!

What a rock solid rom!

On 27, with the settings in list view, I was able to hit the menu button and assign favorite settings to be pinned to top of the settings screen for easy access. On 28, I don't see that. I was running some xposed modules on 27, so it may have been from one of those. Not sure. It was a handy feature.

So nice to have a rom that almost eliminates all of the modules I used on xposed! I only miss app ops and app settings now. (And I am one of the unlimited ones that needs xtether to use hotspot.)

The only thing I liked better on DN3 was having the option of ultra power saving mode.

Thanks for making my old Note 2 feel new again, Lacoursiere!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jnewberry1:
Ultra Power saving mode seemed to wipe out all my widgets when I turned it off. I like the one handed feature better. But favorite settings pinned up top was the DN3 I believe as that sounds like the S5 view in settings. I could be wrong. Regardless, this build is rock solid. DD for sure.

Sent from my SCH-I605
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Hotspot is for sure fixed on next build. The settings option you are referring to is a s5 settings option. I chose to go the note 2 style since i did not want to go to far off of the devices stock look.

App ops is something i could definitely look into bringing in..

Yes it was buggy but i can fix it now. Im not sure i want to incorporate it..other one handed operation i dont think is on my priority list as well.. not sure i want to turn this rom and device into a full fledge port of other devices features..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 2pezboy:
Glad hotspot is fixed. It's the only "necessity" I have left with xposed. I guess I was remembering back to dn3 when I remembered the favorite settings setting. I understand leaving it out for the stock look.

---------- Post added at 10:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:30 AM ----------

Thanks for the explanation of why you decided to leave out UPSM and the other one hand operation. I understand. I will continue to use and enjoy your ROM for what it is.

First post on xda and I just want to say I absolutely love this build 28 rom!

It's the fastest custom rom I've ever used and the battery life is stellar!

However, it black screen locks up on me once every day or two and I have to pull the battery to reset. I'm using MJ9 and agni kernel as I never could get it to boot with the stock kernel. Is there a place to download the stock kernel separately so I can try that approach again without having to reinstall the whole rom and reinstall all of my apps?

I always Odin back to stock 4.1.1 then re-root / CASUAL before I install any new roms if that helps. I know I don't need to do that each time but I have been just to be safe.

Thanks and great work lacoursiere18!!

I've used Alliance 24, 26, 27 and R3Ds before this rom but none have been as fast on my phone as 28!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] freddy0872:
You can dirty flash the rom and it will put the custom kernel back in place. lacoursiere18 also posted a possible fix a few posts back for a change in the updater script for those who couldn't boot with stock kernel. Might be worth a shot as well!

Good luck! [emoji106]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jnewberry1:
Dirty flash works just fine. Also just putting the boot.img from the build in the root of your SD card. Then use terminal emulator and type "su" (without quotations) then "mount/sdcard" then "flash_image boot /sdcard/boot.img" I think this is a little better then a dirty flash as you retain all your settings and the system apps you have possibly removed (if you actually have). Either way will have your stock kernel back. Getting excited for 29 even though 28 is rock solid. LOL. Keep up the good work lacoursiere18!!

EDIT: My apologies. That is for CM roms. LOL. This rom has so many AOSP features I got confused. [emoji13] [emoji13] A flashable zip of the boot.img would be the best bet for keeping everything in tact but Freddy is probably right. The easiest may just be to dirty flash.
