I don't know the answers to your questions but I've got exactly the same behavior. Everytime i change the theme I get that error message about the system UI crashing. I'm forced to reboot to get it to go away.

This ROM is nice but it is by no means perfect. A default theme that restores you back to fresh install would be nice I agree. It would also be nice if said default theme had the colorization standard throughout the system. I haven't change the theme this time and I'm still finding buttons that are colored correctly. It's just not very consistent.

I know I'll probably get flamed for this but it would be nice if you didn't have to go through and adjust every color setting just be able to read the buttons and menus. I realize that it's highly customizable but some of us just want a ROM that works good without all the tweaking.

And the wifi is horribly inconsistent on this rom. I have wiped everything factory reset everything and reinstalled several times, and I still have wi-fi connectivity issues. And it isn't my wifi it's any wifi.

I can also confirm the slow response from the Google Voice Search I have that too.

And therein lies the reason why this rom may not be for you. You would be better with another stock based rom with xposed I guess :)

Someone who has this fc of ui should upload a dumpstate_app_rom.txt.gz from data/log so it can be investigated otherwise it's impossible to try to fix
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dancershrink:
Nice!!! Would you be willing to share your phone ui apk?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dikkebas:
Point is that this is a development thread, you have an issue and the dev asks you for a log. You could at least put in the effort to find out how to get him one. I know if you would have,instead of starting a rant about a pissing match he and anyone else here would have been trying to help you.

Respect is earned, yes it is

I think this happened to me too. I applied a theme (not sure which one) and systemui started crashing. It mostly crashed when the power button was pressed when a full screen app was still open (like the camera).

I could never find a fix but release 30 came out and I did a clean install. All is good now.

Thread Cleaned.

I normally don't do this, but I saw something here that I think everyone needs to be reminded of.

The two main points here are universally accepted truths and very much a part of XDA. Lets keep this in mind before posting heated arguments about software on your phones, it's not that big a deal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cloudcover:
Thanks...was trying to avoid a clean reinstall as I have multiple accounts, each with their own apps, etc, so it's a fairly involved process - at least the way I'm doing it...is there a way to do a clean install that minimizes app reinstalls, etc?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Goldie:
I didn't see what was said before the cleaning but I offered to help the guy. If that causes some kind of offence then I am really confused. The two points you quoted I assume are from Woof. I dont DESERVE respect. But I do expect it when I treat someone right by suggesting either a) this is not for them or b) they give a log so I or someone else can help. If that is wrong then....well....I just don't know whats right here any more
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cyates:
I use Titanium Backup. It's been worth the $$ since I've had it for several years now. It backs up your app settings and can restore them after a wipe and clean install. Still takes a couple of hours for me to get everything working like I like it though. Oh well, I like tinkering with the phone. ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
I couldnt agree more. Guess its hand holding time and that search box in the top of the forum should be deleted. God for bid someone find out how to do something themselves. More about the users it seems like these days
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bubba:
I think if your going to take someone's hard work and use it .. you ought to show respect. They have earned it. I sure as heck wouldn't run a rom from someone that I didn't respect. If you can't do that one little thing in return, then I've got no use for you.

And not to beat a dead house or derail ... I will add that lately there seems to be an increasing lack of respect for the people creating these roms we run. It's very easy for some to cross that line that makes it insulting. Knowing we should just report .... emotions still fly high when your work is attacked. To many have no real idea how much work goes into something like this rom. Literally hundreds of hours. It amazes me sometimes the attitude. xda developers is the name ... not xda users.

installed this over Beans Build 26 and I'm stuck at alliance boot screen. I wiped all, system, internal data, etc, except sd card before flashing ROM. I've tried battery pull and restarting phone/reflashing ROM, but still stuck at Alliance boot screen. Any ideas before I flash build 26 again?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Stryke_the_Orc:
Wasn't directed at anyone but rather everyone. Lately it seems a lot of people demand respect based on thanks count, tenure here, and post count, none of which mean anything. It's easy enough to get a dozen or more thanks for sharing your home screen, you can be a member without posting for years and you can post utterly ridiculous crap that increases post count without breaking the rules. I was simply reminding everyone that respect is earned, not given and you have to contribute to earn it.

Is anyone else having problems with that keyboard icon in the status bar even tho mine is turned off. It still shows up. My phone still wakes up when I plug in my phone into anything, even tho I have that turned off too. I still can't use the share button in the gallery app lol ._.

Bringing back the picture unknown issue. Can someone point me in the direction of editing the png (personal option, not one from build 29) in a stock apk? Every tutorial I have followed so far has rendered the call screen inoperable or non-existent when I put the apk back in.

Or do I need to also "install" the new apk on the phone once it is back in system apps?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Woof_:
This is not a request for help.

I have reflashed my phone again with build 30. Wiped it all and started over again. Wifi is working at the moment. This post is to note the reflash and wifi state. Just want to see how long it takes before the wifi becomes intermittent as it has done in the past.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Stryke_the_Orc:
Have you set the permissions correctly for the apps?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] LTLFTCer:
Thanks!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pmsrefugee:
You can't just swap out the png fIle. The apk needs to be compiled (per L18). I tried but couldn't figure it out so i just used build 29 apk

Using a RomCustomiser Theme.zip makes it easy to just change images and even xml inside apk

It should work on this rom too i've been told (wasn't sure because of safestrap stuff)

If you want, test this one I made.

If you wanna learn how to do it look at the zip or search for the thread I made on the subject in S2 days (slightly out dated but principal is still the same)

Just put the zip on SD and flash from RomCustomiser.

Please tell me if it works ( can't test, don't have this phone), if it does I can drop it in Ota for others to use
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Go ahead and post your zip when you done. Just make sure you save it in Alliance Manager, then upload it to share! Great Job!:good:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] LTLFTCer:
It is not as easy as just "swapping it out" of the apk through 7zip, but you do not have to decompile and recompile.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pmsrefugee:
I wish I knew how to do that. It would have been a lot easier. I tried the noob approach and renamed the .apk to .zip so I could open it. Then I switched the picture_unknown.png with another one. I then saved the .zip and renamed it to .apk. Put it in the system/app on the phone and changed permissions. That didn't work and I didn't know of any other way to do it.

I did some google searches and found a program called Tickle My Android from xda-developer Ticklefish, which I found can be used to change the way your phone icons, etc. look on the phone including the ability to decompile and compile apk files. Using TMA, I was able to switch out the png file with another file and compile the apk, create a flashable zip, and flash it in recovery. It worked!!! For a noob like me, I almost felt like a developer :laugh:

If there is an easier way, I wish I knew how to do it, but this way worked too. Ticklefish has a youtube video that shows how to use Tickle My Android and it was pretty easy for me to follow.

PS Tip: I was noticing a slight lag starting again and I didn't want to do a factory reset to fix it again. I tried Titanium Backup and used the option to 'Clear cache for user & system apps' and that took care of the lag without messing up any of the apps. Worked for me, YMMV.

It seems my earlier post is invisible to you guys, or reading really is too hard:rolleyes:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pmsrefugee:
No. I'm the one who needs glasses haha. I went back and I now remember seeing the post but didn't read it fully when I saw safestrap mentioned. I was pretty glassy-eyed at the time from reading the computer too long. I will definately look at your suggestion and give that a try too. All's good

Tried it again using dikkebas's suggestion, and was able to see where I made my mistake. You don't rename the apk to zip. You need to open the apk with Winrar. Once opened in Winrar, I was able to switch the png file. I put the new revised apk back on the phone (made a flashable zip using Tickle My Android, but probably could have just put the apk back into the system/app directory) and rebooted. It worked that way too. Much easier.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Masterx9:
Forgive the ignorance but couldn't find anything on it. How do I go about swapping back to a previous call? I see the call on hold but the swap button is behind the mute button. Is there a way to pull the previous call back up. Lol I'm sure it's something simple I'm missing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cloudcover:
Thanks for the response, cyates. I actually have Titanium Backup Pro but the last time I tried to use it when flashing a new ROM, I must not have used it correctly since I still had to create my accounts and then install my various apps for those accounts through the Google restore account process. When you use Titanium are you able to avoid that part? And if so, would you mind please pointing me to a page that explains how to do that (or just PM me if that's easier)?

Wifi has begun acting slow and intermittent. As soon as I shut wifi off the connection resumes at expected speed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Just make sure that you do not have "Auto network switch" switched on which may cause this. If so, just disable it. I personally never have had any issue with wifi
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Stryke_the_Orc:
It could also be the DNS server of your Wi-Fi. You may not notice the effects on your computer because it's typically stationary, but leaving your house or frequent disconnects from the network may be causing the router to bog down. Try either assigning a static IP to your device or reboot the router and see if it fixes anything.

Ya that was the first thing I checked but thanks. I may wipe and reflash again. Hate to but need the wifi.

Ok I took my phone all the way back to factory stock 4.1.2, rooted and unlocked through causal, installed Philz .48, installed mj9, then this rom and the radio and it wouldn't boot. Waited about 20 minutes and it wouldn't boot.

Cleared data and the internal data as stated on pg.76 and booted right up.

Ok added to build prop and the error went away, hooked up to my roku played audio but not video just a black screen.

@L18 or anybody else that may know... who's the random Chinese /Japanese girl that pops up in the caller ID if u don't have the persons photo stored or is just a random number? How do u get rid of that? I looked everywhere and can't find out how to get rid of that.

I had tried that too. But thanks. I got it to boot. Had to clear the internal memory in recovery which is not not easy to find but pg.76 i forgot the user shed light on the issue. So i formatted that, cleaned for new rom twice and factory reset twice and it booted right up.

As far as the caller id image of somebody i've never seen before or don't even know at all I would post a pic of it but I don't think that I can because I don't have enough posts yet to do so. But its some random japanese/chinese girl that pops up for calls inbound or outbound if I don't have a person's image stored or if its just some random number that i don't have in my contacts. Any married people know this could cause unwanted issues :p please help

Actually I've found recently that leaving gps switch on and choosing just use satellite .. saves battery. A lot of apps need to ping that gps ... they do it quickly and are done. With gps off ...those apps just keep trying and trying. I noticed deceased battery life today on my Note 3 ... lost about 8 percent more than normal ... I checked and found that I had accidentally turned off gps.

Give it a try and see if yours increases even more.

I really don't understand why there are so many issues flashing 4.4.2. I have tried TWRP, tried Philz.....it just does not work unless you install the AGNI kernel. Why is this? If you don't flash the AGNI kernel immediately after the ROM flash, the boot screen just loops.

I have completely wiped everything out 100% in my phone even with TWRP before I ODINed Philz. It will not boot unless the AGNI kernel is installed. Maybe I shouldn't care, but I had great success with the stock B26 kernel, so I wanted to stay stock.
