[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] davidshooki:
I can't find any fix for a un-rooted cell phone, and for the most part I am ok with the stock ROM and don't need to root... except that now my SD card is, for the most part, useless.

I also don't understand the reasoning for this: my apps are free to do what they want on the phone's internal card. They are just blocked from writing to the external card. They can read whatever they want from the external card as well. So they still have some access to my personal and sensitive information. I don't see the point other than trying to slowly phase out external cards and forcing us to use carrier/vendor's services. There are so many better ways to implement this if the goal was really security rather than to limit the use of SD cards.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] davidshooki:
Well, for the first time ever, I am considering apple/iphone since it seems that is where Android is striving to be. At this point I may even consider Windows phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ShinySide:
Please do, and yes we want to be iPhone

lol :D my sd card doesn't work at the moment but i'm not complaining (im on android 5.0 cm rom).

Device: i605 (Verizon Note 2)

Hey all! I am here to bring you the latest version of AOSPA-Legacy to the Verizon Galaxy Note 2! This is always compiled from the latest AOSPA-Legacy sources compiled with the CyanogenMod kernel. I have added some new features to the AOSPA source, but there are no extra apps in the final build.

NOTICE:

This is an unofficial build that I made for myself that I am sharing with all of you. I have a set use for my phone and therefore cannot test everything. Because of this, your warranty is now void. I am not responsible for any damages this ROM does to your phone, but just know I only upload after testing on my phone. Results may vary. Also, this ROM will be updated when I get around to it. I do not have the infrastructure to build nightlies on this computer (it's a laptop btw), and will only update to add new features/fix bugs, maybe weeklies, haven't decided yet. Perhaps I could become this device's new maintainer since everyone seems to be gone, but I'll get to this later.

Without further hesitation, let's get to it!

INSTRUCTIONS:

MAKE SURE YOUR BOOTLOADER IS UNLOCKED!!

Reboot into either the latest TWRP/Philz Recovery

Wipe Data, Caches, etc.

Install this Rom (Download Below)

Install PA-Gapps

Wipe caches again (eh, why not?)

Reboot

???

PROFIT!

BUGS

Google Chrome v39 always starts in floating mode (fix in second post!)

I can't seem to get a GPS lock, will definitely look into this

Stock Flashlight app doesn't work, anything from the Play Store does though

Anything else from CM/PA that's been a problem on this phone

You tell me (please!)...

THANKS!

AOSPA-Legacy -- For the amazing ROM and sources (Github)

CyanogenMod -- For the kernel sources (Github)

DreamFX -- For Unofficially/Officially fixing the VA/PA texting issue (NOT RELATED TO THIS ROM! But without this I wouldn't have played with AOSP/CM again!) (Link to fix) :cool:

UPDATE:

(Downloads in 1st post!)

(Experimental build downloads are under their build dates)

11/22/2014

Experimental Build! (Should still stable, just need some feedback on these 2 new features) -> Download

Added Dynamic System Bars!!! (You'll find this under Settings->Display)

Added Mobile Network Battery Saver Mode(Automatically switches to 2G Network after the screen is for 30 seconds [unless a music streaming service is active] and sets it back to 3G/4G when the screen is turned on!)

11/19/2014

Added a swipe to switch between Quick Settings and Notifications

Added Quiet Hours

COMING SOON!

The new Card-Based Recent Apps

Gerrit is down but being fixed, so I am not able to cherrypick these two items. Hopefully PA can resolve this soon and they will be added.

GOOGLE CHROME UPDATE: There seems to be an issue with the latest build of Google Chrome (v39) where the app will always start in floating mode. To return to full screen Chrome, clear app data after updating from the Play Store and every time you open Chrome pull up the Recents Menu (default is long press home button) and select Chrome again. It will now be full screen. This seems to be an issue for all of AOSPA.

Another fix is to stay on Chrome v38 and not update. Link To apk

Weird issue after installing

Not sure if it is related to this ROM or not but I had not encountered this previously under any other ROM. Installed this last night - wiped everything with all the normal steps. Also installed the latest PA GAPPS (the link in the first post - installed the Full version). Restored most of my apps with TB and everything went as normal. This morning, the phone, while just sitting on my desk, made a noise (maybe like I got a notification). I picked it up and it was pretty much loading and displaying things from different apps and videos on my phone without any input from me. I could not get it to respond to any button presses and was even having issues trying to power it down until I just pulled the battery. I re-loaded one of my backups from another ROM and everything appears to be back as it was and I've not experienced the same issue at this point. Can't say 100% it was this ROM but thought it better to at least note it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] twitish:
Hmmm...That is a very strange issue indeed! Did you install a custom kernel? Were you running any Xposed Modules? Would you be willing to try this ROM again and report if it happens again? Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chameo53:
I did not install an alternate kernel- usually I find it pays to stick with the one that came with any ROM I install. AGNi kernel always seemed to give me one problem or another. But I digress. I might try to install again to see if I can replicate but it was a little disconcerting as it looked like it was opening apps and displaying data I had entered - almost like some sort of bot. Don't keep much on the phone of a personal nature and it is no longer a work phone since I retired this summer - mostly a toy of sorts so I just try the various ROMs out there.

Won't get to it tonight but i'll let you know when I re-install.

---------- Post added at 08:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:46 PM ----------

Sorry - didn't answer your other question. I did install Xposed installer. Only active module I used was Gravity and changed the battery icon and lockscreen background. I also have Greenify and Wanam Kit active but did not actually use either one to modify anything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] twitish:
Well, on my honor, I did not put a bot into this. I'm running the same build I posted and have not had that issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chameo53:
Really didn't mean to imply or suggest you did - I was more amazed on what I experienced and was hoping maybe someone else might have some explanation. I think I have installed every Note II ROM that has been out there since I got the phone 2 years ago so I'm not shy in regards to flashing new ones. I appreciate the effort all you developers put into this so again no blame intended.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] twitish:
Don't worry about it! I didn't mean to come off as so defensive, I was simply trying to stamp out anymore thoughts of there being a bot. :)

Has anyone else experienced this issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
Thanks for adding me to the thanks list. I really appreciate it. Will try out soon. Thanks for this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chameo53:
Reflashed ROM - No repeat

I did reinstall the ROM last night since I wanted to try to replicate the overall process I followed and I wanted it to sit overnight. I got thru this afternoon without the same problem occurring. I did not activate the Xposed framework so none of the modules were active either. Other than that I re-installed basically all the apps I had installed the initial flash. All went well although I did have the SMS "unable to send issue" happen (it seems to happen every so often after I reflash a new ROM - doesn't seem to be ROM specific) so I ended up following the usual process as outlined by DreamFX and restoring a different ROM. I have consistently found the Unofficial Aokp ROM by apophis9283 to be the most stable ROM for me - I'll try yours again when the next release is out there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] twitish:
No thank you man! :) Let me know how it goes!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] twitish:
While testing a few builds I realized the fix for the texting issue wasn't permanent, but it is fixable again. :) Thank you for trying out this ROM again!

Once Paranoid Android's gerrit is back up (I'm getting 404 errors for everything. :/) I'll cherry pick a few of the new PA features and have a new build up!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rippedwarrior69:
This ROM is great. I really like it. Running smooth and fast. So far no problems at all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Handled:
Although I'm still on cyanogenmod, it's good to see there's continued development on our device. Great job Dev
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] twitish:
Glad to hear it! Thanks for trying this out!

Update: There seems to be an issue with the latest build of Google Chrome (v39) where the app will always start in floating mode. To return to full screen Chrome, clear app data after updating from the Play Store and every time you open Chrome pull up the Recents Menu (default is long press home button) and select Chrome again. It will now be full screen. This seems to be an issue for all of AOSPA.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
I'm on Carbon rom until I try yours this weekend. Of course it does this for me and is annoying as hell. It appears to have something to do with all kitkat aosp roms compabilty. My brother is lucky enough to have lollipop and it's not doing this on lollipop.

---------- Post added at 07:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 AM ----------

I'm really hoping this rom doesn't have that ok Google crackle that plagues most aosp roms for our device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] twitish:
Unfortunately the Google Now activate tone does "crackle" on this ROM, however when it talks or makes any other sounds it's clear.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
Darn that stinks. Thank for confirming.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] glockman4519:
I am going to try this ROM out. I will let you know if I have any issues. Thank you for giving is another choice.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrbobo1:
Thanks for bringing this up for us, very exciting.

I know this is just getting started, the top features I am hoping to see are:

Quiet hours

Profiles

Long press back button to kill

1px battery bar

swipe between notifications/quick settings

Just my wish list for the cherry picks, but everything seems smooth so far!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] twitish:
Well then good news! Check out the second post for a change log! New build is up!

Long pressing the back button to kill the app is under Developer Options, all the way at the bottom under Apps.

Profiles are not supported by the Paranoid Android Team so I don't think it will be added.

There are different Battery Types under Settings->Battery, the button with the battery icon in the top right will change the status bar icon to different things. Or are you talking about a Battery Bar that goes across the whole screen?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
GPS working?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrbobo1:
My gps works perfectly on the last build

---------- Post added at 07:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:39 PM ----------

Omfg, wow ☺ thanks for your work!

Battery bar across the whole screen, just things I like but not needed, this rom is great, great battery life so far and no issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] twitish:
Not immediately on my end, but with further experimentation with other ROMs (CM11, OmniRom, and Slim) I can only get a GPS Lock on a Stock ROM, so I think it's me. However, I have gotten success with using GPSFix (LINK) from the Play Store. Run the app first and it will get a GPS Lock after a few minutes, everything works as expected after that. :)

Glad to see it works for you! This further proves that it is an issue on my end...

No problem! I'll look into the battery bar!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrbobo1:
Thanks for the update, you nailed it!

Peek doesn't always seem to work, how is it supposed to work, does it have to be in your pocket or have the proximity sensor covered for a set amount of time?

Can we get an option to hide the alarm icon, usually it's in the alarm settings
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] twitish:
I think I'll have to pull in the CM11 Alarm Clock for that option, not sure why it's not there now! As far as Peek is concerned, it is supposed to come on when you pick up your phone off a flat surface or remove something off of the proximity sensor (like a cover or a pocket). I've only ever had it work when I first receive a notification and activate my device, any further use of the lockscreen (or pressing the power button) has always been the default Android lockscreen (both on this phone and my Nexus 7).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] twitish:
There's a new Experimental build up in the Second Post! I have added Dynamic System Bars as well as a new Mobile Network Battery save option that will switch to 2G after 30 seconds of the screen being off and 3G/4G when it is back on to help save your battery!

Please don't let the "Experimental" tag scare you from this build! It is still stable, just not fully tested by myself yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] whoot:
Downloaded and installed coming from OmniROM about an hour ago. Battery life is good, everything seems to work fine. I tried out DSB and scrolling and general UI smoothness seemed to stutter a bit, but the fact that it's there is promising.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] twitish:
Unfortunately, the lag is due to how they implemented the DSB. Its just there for the eye candy. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] glockman4519:
I'm having issues with the download link for the experimental build. Just thought I would see of there were any issues with it before giving up. Thank you for giving us more options too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrbobo1:
Switching to the battery saving 2g thing somehow switched the network so it wasn't on CDMA lte, freaked me out until I found that setting and changed it back because I wasn't getting data.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
Lollipop in the works?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] glockman4519:
I can't remember, but does AOSPA have the theme engine in it?

"Chance Favors the Prepared"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
I believe so.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] twitish:
Most definitely! I have attempted to build Lollipop in the past, however I was running into some very interesting errors. I decided to wait a bit to try again because there really wasn't much difference between AOSPA and CM until fairly recently. I've gotten a build to compile last night however and am working on a new build as I type this.

Yes this has the Theme Engine in it! So will Lollipop!! :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] glockman4519:
The theme engine is really my only prerequisite because I like to theme my roms.

"Chance Favors the Prepared"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] glockman4519:
Is the download link not working? I can't get the rom to download.

If you flashed the latest TWRP 2.8.1.0, you can boot into recovery and enable MTP mode. Then drag the files across exactly like when you plug in and use MTP in android.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluthefox:
Hello everyone reading this, I have never rooted any of the phones that I have had, and i have looked into it before but had lost interest in doing so to the Samsung GS3 i had. After having this G3 for a month or two I'm wanting root it, but all I know is the basic "here this is how to root it". So I think what I'm looking for is recommendations on things to do once i have it rooted. So far I haven't rooted yet, and I'm thinking on using towelroot from what i have read so far.

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] potatomanwrl:
I would definitely recommend using towelroot. Then get a bumped recovery on it so you can flash a rom such as cloudyg3. It'll give you some options you wouldn't normally have and remove carrier specific apps and garbage like that. That's a good place to start.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluthefox:
Alright, I'm going to have look into that, because I am completely clueless on that, like I said above I've really only gotten a mild grasp of rooting
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meyerweb:
The best way to understand, I believe, is to read, read, read. There's a ton of information here. Read, and if you don't understand something ask specific questions and people will be happy to help.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluthefox:
Thanks for that, and from my current guess a recovery is like a firmware load, and a bumped recovery is an updated so say to the next OS release. And ROMs I want to say are like themes. Though I think I may be wrong on that one
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjjcb:
I rooted my Galaxy S3 about 6 months ago, and I did a lot of reading before doing it. The problem with everyone's advice to read is a lot of times, you don't know what you don't know. How much is enough reading and prep? A lot of what I learned, I learned through trial and error, and there was always great advice here if I needed help out of a particular spot.

Just make sure you have a nandroid backup and never ever flash a rom unless you're certain it's built for your specific device and carrier.

I hit a few bumps along the way, but rooting has been great, and I can't imagine not being rooted again. I'm planning on getting the Sprint G3 in about 3 weeks, and I'm gulping up all the information I can to ensure that I'll be able to root and flash roms. Good luck!
