The way I understand it Android always switches to data when it sends text messages. I guess they want to be able to bill you for them. It won't send messages through wifi.

I meant sending files with Wi-Fi direct. Basically using s beam. Sending files fails, receiving files works fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
Oh Ok. I guess I'm having a little trouble too. I can send Pictures but not songs. I can still send songs by bluetooth though. I see some research coming on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fandi1:
mp3 or the build

I have a question.

I am looking for a good mp3 player that will work with my Bluetooth headphones. For now all players that I found can't be controlled well. Here is what I'm talking about; 1). If I get a phone call music does not stop playing and people who I'm talking with tell me that there is a noise. 2). Next track don't work by pressing one of the buttons. What I'm looking for is a player (I hope it's a player not this build) that will stop music on its own when I get incoming call. When I hit forward button it goes to the next song or back when I hit back button. When I hold down next button --- it would fast forward…

Is there something like that out? Or is it in the build?

Thanks. I appreciate the look and response

thank you again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TinkerbeII:
Thank you for the suggestion. I saw that a few pages back as well. When I add this to the build.prop the device will try to connect, then stall out on 'connecting'. Did you get it to work on your device? Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bingo6104:
Which source would be the best route for this? I don't ever do any ota that's for sure.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MunkinDrunky:
Fantastic rom! Just got some flash fix.

For those who will search as I did. (twrp 2.8.3.0) My first boot-up hung at the alliance boot anim for a good 20+ min. (I did full wipe and formatted my internal sd upon very first flash) Instead of trying to flash the agni kernel before rebooting (read that in this thread), I pulled batt, wiped (no format), reflashed and all was well- takes no more than 10 min.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
Philz Recovery is recommended. I used it and it flashed with no issue whatsoever. Now my phone is running great. TWRP messed me up a couple times. I'll never use it again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ProjectAlly:
I don't have the answer to this unfortunately, else I wouldn't have taken the OTA.

Like I said in previous posts I mistakenly took the KK 4.4.2 OTA and did things that way. Didn't seem the MJ9 4.3 bootloader was ever gonna be unlocked so no worries moving from one locked BL to another. Eventually one year (smh) a phone upgrade may be possible for me, so OTA didn't seem so bad...long as it works as a daily driver and I can flash KK ROMS I'm good.

I think someone mentioned there is a stock image of KK 4.4.2 you can flash with Odin in order to update safely, but I couldn't find it...hopefully someone will be able to point you in the right direction.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
If you've been running Alliance build 26 you should be all set. Follow the instructions in the OP. I heartily recommend using Philz Recovery as L18 suggests.

If you flashed Build 26 with a custom recovery and if you have root then I bet you're not on a locked bootloader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
"Step 1-

Ensure you running at least MJ9

Step 2-

Make Sure You Have a Custom Recovery - Philz is preferred

Step 3-

Before rebooting, on Alliance already? Delete Alliance folder in sdcard!!

Step 4-

Put zip on sdcard. Select Install zip. Install

Step 5-

Reboot!

Step 6-

Let apps from playstore update. Open Alliance Manager and choose Theme!!"

:confused:

I just copied all of that from the OP. I notice there is no mention of wiping anything. So we don't have to wipe data, system, dalvik, cache and internal storage to flash this? Or did I just miss something?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sauzman:
Trouble with default dialer image.

This is really simple I'm sure.I can't seem to figure out how to change the default wallpaper image for contacts without photos.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
Starting back at about page 130 there are a lot of posts dealing with changing that. You could find some info there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sauzman:
Thanks for your Reply

Thanks Rockstar!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] twiztidvandal417:
I did, did you remember to restart your device before you tried it? And also it wouldn't work for everything. My roku 3 refused to link up( most likely because it doesn't support the note 2 I think) so it seems hit or miss. At least for me that is.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Sal R.:
Seems the "Location set by GPS" icon is missing on build 30? All that shows up is a black square. Anyone know a quick fix or the apk to fix?

Also, can you separate the popup dialogue box bg color and text from the button? Because they're linked, some popups from apps makes it hard to read.

TY for the hard work on this ROM!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Sal R.:
Anyone know how to add apps to multi-window?

I could swear I saw an app bundled with this ROM before, but don't see it at all.

TIA!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] NB2A:
Tried to install this build over 26 today. I get the message status 7 installation aborted. I am also confused about the step that says remove Alliance folder which is currently on my ext sd side. When does it get removed prior to install and unzip?Anyone have any ideas please? Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ProfEngr:
Mine is stuck on the boot screen. Wiped everything from philz then transferred rom via sd adapter on laptop. MD5 matches. Going to try flashing a few more times then I have to go back to old beans. Firmware is updated to MJ9 via odin.

Looks like post #1392 got me booted. Now to figure out how to get the SD card swap script to work with a kernel other than AGNi and it still boot.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dikkebas:
Alliance folder on internal SD is used to store backups of system apps that you have uninstalled from Rom Customiser, theme setups from Alliance manager and it also contains files used by the installer-script to setup the rom.

Best to remove it before install to avoid conflicts
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] NB2A:
Thank you it seems I have no luck with it aborting. I had to go back to build 26 by Beans.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TinkerbeII:
Thank you for the reply. Yes, I did. I guess results will vary. lol Thank you for trying to assist. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] NB2A:
Upgrading from beans last build 26 with no luck

I still cannot get this build to install without it aborting. Does anyone have a suggestion from Beans Alliance build 26? Thanks

What recovery are you using? If it is TWRP just double check in TWRP settings that " verify signature" is not checked. I ran into that issue a while back and it was kicking my ass. I did some looking into it and found this. Just make sure you are flashing correct rom for your device because TWRP will flash regardless. Hope this helps.

Just go ahead and add it at the very end of your build.prop, that's what I did and it worked fine
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
Here's what works for me. I've never had a failure.

First I stopped using TWRP about a year ago. First it corrupted my sd card then later it lost all my apps during a restoration. The developer recommends Philz. So do I.

Then I stash my new rom on my external sd card. Then under Wipe Data / Factory Reset I choose "Clean to install a new rom". This wipes data, system and cache. Then under Mounts and Storage I choose "Format /Data & /Data/media (/sdcard). This wipes the internal sd. Then flash the new rom from the external sd card.

Doing this gives you a clean file system to flash your new rom on. There's no way I'd ever flash a rom on top of an existing one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
Since the 4.42 ota was released I have flashed without wiping the internal sdcard completely, my save games are still there for a couple games i was playing lol, no problems so far from it, basically the same rom as this one, just there are system modifications at the root level and I don't think they are affected by anything on the internal sdcard except maybe the alliance folder.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
Ok so maybe the need to wipe Internal Storage is just a 4.3 issue. I know when I flashed 4.3 roms without doing it it added a new layer to my file system every time. Also I can see why a gamer would want to save stuff in there. But I'm no gamer. Everything I wanted to save I put on my external sdcard. I use Viper4Android to listen to absolutely incredible sounding music from my phone. You should hear how it sounds through my stock car radio. I saved some stuff to use with that. I also use my phone to control my tv. It also remembers all the stuff my old brain refuses to.

I plan to wipe everything in my phones internal storage every time I ever flash a new rom in the future. It works too well to change my procedures.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] NB2A:
I am still using Android 4.3 with Beans build 26. Sorry for the post but I have been out of the loop over a year tending to a sick family member. Do I have to update to 4.4 first before upgrading to this build? I also have always used CWM for recovery. I just installed the latest TWRP and wonder if I can easily backup to that without issues. Thanks again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
I had a rezound with the rom they made, i found ekolayzer worked better, but if it has improved in the last few years it would be nice to have something that saves settings.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MunkinDrunky:
Definitely wipe to avoid issues. You can try without, but problems encountered would probably be from not. Or you'd have to wipe to eliminate the possibility that they were. So in all I always wipe and when moving from two not alike roms I also format internal too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] glockman4519:
I can tell you from flashing back and forth from non touchwiz and touchwiz roms that wiping your internal SD along with cache, dalvik cache and system will give you the best flash results as stated in the lady couple of posts.. I use both Philz and TWRP 2.8.3.0 and I haven't had an issue with either one although I think Philz plays nicer and works for pretty much all roms. I just like TWRP better for backing up s you can name your backups and I think it's quicker in both backing up and in restoring.

Just my humble opinion.

Stuck at Allaince logo in boot

I am stuck in bootup with Alliance triangle after hearing music. I am having nothing but problems since upgrading from Alliance beans build 26. Any ideas why I am stuck?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
Did you wipe everything? Read back over the last couple pages. It's important.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] NB2A:
Yes I wiped completely but now phone has yellow triangle of death. I have no idea where to start now.:confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DavidMT909:
Sorry guys. I know this is not exactly ROM related, but I don't know a better place to ask. I always get ignored in the questions and answer threads. I am on Beans 26 still because when lacoursiere18 took over I wasn't sure if I wanted to upgrade yet because at the time too many people were reporting errors or problems so I was waiting until a few builds so he could wrinkle out any possible problems and it became more stable. Plus, I get tired of resetting up my phone constantly. I have since moved onto the Note 4 DE also, so my Note II has been sitting. My friend wants to buy it, but he has MetroPCS. Does anyone know the settings or what I change to just put his sim card in and make it work? I will try to Google some more myself, but it's more of a specific question and not as easy to find the answer. There are so many smart people in here, I thought someone might know real quick. I've never done that, but I think I've read before it has something to do with the APN. Thanks.

EDIT: is this correct??? http://unlockandrepair.com/metropcs-internet-mms-settings-for-android/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TinkerbeII:
I am not sure what the yellow triangle of death is, but I would flash back to the Rom you were using, then flash back. This Rom is really great! What Rom are you coming from?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] NB2A:
Beans build 26

I am back stock now after Yellow triangle came up for rom

having no luck rooting now it seems

Thanks again

Tom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TinkerbeII:
Oh, I see. What is this yellow triangle that you speak of?

Sent from my SCH-I605
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
The yellow triangle is a error that shows up if your rom is corrupt or not fully installed, use the button combination to get back into recovery after a battery pull, check the md5 and try again following the op instructions for flashing.

It can also show up if your phone doesn't support the system directory being in r/w at all times, this I learned on a LG enlighten lol, this phone like the HTC rezound doesn't care.

If you flashed 4.4.2 stock then you may be stuck unless it is downloaded from xda sources.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
Did you disable your antivirus when you tried to root. The way Casual runs causes an a/v to call it a virus.

Update: I almost forgot. Are you sure you used the correct version of Casual?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
Try restarting the ui with the buttons in custom settings or just reboot your phone.

Sometimes things like that get stuck and a reboot fixes it.

URGENT

i have a weird issue and in need of a solution pretty fast if u can help me. i sold my note 2 to a buddy that was running this rom perfect bt somehow the recovery file got removed from the phone and when he went to flash the new version ( build 30) of this rom he rebooted into recovery and obviously the file wasnt there anymore so now its in a constant boot loop going from teamwin screen to note 2 screen. Nothing i do will let it boot up. I even went to download mode and tried to reflash twrp via odin and nothing. Same boot loop. Im not a noob by any means but this throwing me for a loop lol. I hope its just something easy that im not thinking of. Can u please help us out man as soon as u get chance. Definitely will send a donation for the help.

Sorry to be a bother guys. After searching through the topic I've seen others post similar questions about this but not exactly what I'm trying to edit.

Build 30 - KitKat theme

This is the major edit I want to make. I can't see what I'm typing in some test fields.

And then there's this:

Sorry for being a noob here and for bringing up something that was addressed before. Don't mean to clutter the thread.

Thanks for any help provided! If I must switch themes that's no issue. This KitKat theme is pretty badass though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dr. Droidberg:
I've had 30 downloaded on my SD card for a few weeks now & haven't installed it yet because I know as soon as I do & get everything setup, 31 is going to drop.

It never fails. ?

Custom settings >> colors >>enable text colors, try checking one box at a time and one should fix it, I'm using the s5 theme and haven't had that problem yet.

In app menu should fix at least one problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
I haven't seen any word about version 31 coming at all. Has anybody else? I kinda wonder if the next version will be Android 5.0.1. There's a lot being said about it coming to the Note 2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Yes. If and when we receive android 5.0 there will be a update. As far as I am concerned build 30 is perfectly fine and not needing any updates
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] NB2A:
From Beans build 26

I am running beans build 26 mj9. I was wondering what I need to do to install this build.Do I need to Odin back to stock and OTA verizon? I also was told you cannot go back even if I wanted to put build 26 that I have saved back in correct? Will all my saved settings in Titanium work also with this build from build 26? Ia m running safestrap TWRP now so what backup and recovery would I need to use then? Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
Yeah I'm perfectly happy with build 30. I don't care if Android 5 comes along or not either. I do like to keep a casual eye on new development though. We'll see. If it works out that Android 5 comes and runs well on the Note 2 it'll obviously be fun to get it.

Actually I never plan to buy a new phone from Verizon again. They're getting almost as controlling as Apple. But if I find that there is no satisfactory coverage from the other networks in my area I'll just continue to use my Note 2 on Verizon. People I have talked to about their coverage all tell me the other networks are unsatisfactory. So, from what I see, I'm going to use my old phone for quite a while. It's ok. The Notes 3 and 4 are really only slight improvements over the Note 2 and I'm not going to give up having a stylus.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] glockman4519:
No... If you are already on MJ9 then you are good to go (if you still have unlocked boot loader). If you take any updates from Verizon and have an unlocked boot loader, it will get locked again and there is no way to unlock it unless you send your phone out to Mobile tech Video and that will run you $75.00 and you will be without a phone for a couple of weeks.

Do you have unlocked bootloader or are you running on Safestrap?

"Chance Favors the Prepared"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] NB2A:
I am running on Safestrap guess that leaves me out

Thank you
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stueycaster:
I use my Note 2 as a TV remote all the time. Of course I have a Samsung Smart TV and Xfinity Cable. Xfinity offers an app that gives you a schedule and you can change channels with your phone. Yeah that's all but it is a convenience. Using the Samsung Smart View app I can do everything but turn the TV on. Going through the wifi I have absolute control of it. It's actually better than the TV's remote because I can type on the screen with the phones key pad. My TV isn't a big screen or anything. It's only 32 inch but it only cost $240 a couple years ago. Bigger more expensive sets have more features but But I love what I have. It fits my entertainment center.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] glockman4519:
Not necessarily. Like I mentioned earlier, my grandchild messed up my phone bad, all my fault by the way, and I ended up with locked bootloader and on Safestrap myself. Then I heard of Mobile Tech Video and sent my phone to them for their "downgrade" service and 2 weeks later I had my old phone back. It's about $75.00 and you will be without a phone for a couple weeks at the most.

But if you plan on staying with your Note 2 i605 for a while than its way worth it.
