Booted, Ez PZ

And the bootanimation is cool!! I will come back in a day and share what i run into

Edit: If changing wallpaper in settings for home and lock using the TW wallpaper chooser (not LWP or gallery) will FC settings. Doing the same thing on the homescreen from the menu key works
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] absinthesummer:
I did not have that problem with wallpaper, TouchWiz wallpaper & theme chooser both work (though i prefer alliance manager) but if they work better & more consistently for you from the home screen then apply them that way.

And for anyone wanting to wake the screen with the home key in addition to the power button, it's under custom settings/hardware keys/home key

Disable wake with home key and then re-enable it as pictured:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:
Very nice. I tried porting this awhile back and it kicked my butt.

Thanks for getting it done !
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] falcon67:
It is a nice rom, just one issue home button does not wake up the device. Not sure if it common on all note 2 models I use T889.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Goody68:
Read a page back on how to fix wake with home button;)

Im download now and trying this badboy out!!! Looks feature packed and awesome :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] CharliexCharger:
Thanks for the new rom! Is anyone else having an issue with freezing?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] satans spawn1972:
Flashed this yesterday and mine is not freezing but there is a definite lag.

Will Agni kernel work with this?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
SHould definitely not be ANY of this.. If it continues maybe try a re install with a full wipe. If it still does..Ill look into it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] CharliexCharger:
Thank you my good sir! I'm currently on my 3rd install. I will take another run at it here soon. I wiped the data and both cache's x 3. My issue occurs when I'm restoring my apps via the play store. I didn't modify anything.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sawdoctor:
Agni is included as the default kernel
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] absinthesummer:
No, there isn't any freezing or stuttering or lag, but after the first flash & setup it's little slow as the rom settles. After that first hour or so (and def after playing with agni settings) it flies & is smooth as butter. Even the battery life is great.

People just need to get it set up to their liking & then let the rom settle (with most roms that can take up to a week, with this one it only takes an hour or two I noticed)... It's excellent :good:

Just a quick question, did you wipe internal storage (your internal sd card)?

Should wipe:

/system

/data (including /data/media or internal storage depending on which recovery you're using)

/cache

/dalvik

If the problem is occuring when restoring apps from google play, my bet is on .android or .android_secure files leftover on your internal storage from a previous installation. If you want to keep these just in case, back them up to you external, but definitely do a FULL wipe first, which includes internal storage.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] falcon67:
I tried to change the languague to Arabic using morelocale2 app, it looks the rom does not support this. There are also some other languages which are not supported.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] absinthesummer:
They've been removed. Individual language packs are available to flash but you may have to change permissions for the files that are placed in VODB folder before they'll work.

They can be found here:

https://copy.com/EPyLLgwrC7UQY7tc

Missing fonts are there as well. The system partition on certain variants is not large enough to support all the language packs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sipher26:
I'm running this rom and I have zero issue, everything runs great .. thank you for this amazing rom
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] CharliexCharger:
OK my brother. I will give that a shot. Thanks!

Can I dirty flash over the DN3 Rom?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Fourknucks:
Is it normal when changing the theme stuff like toggles, battery etc for there to be lag and freezing? That's where I had major issues even rebooted in me a time or two. I always wipe everything including internal for any install. I got mad and restored my backup. I really like the features though
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Well let it do its thing..dont be changing $hit when its setting a theme
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Fourknucks:
OK, I'll give it another go this weekend, let it settle in for a day before I attempt to change anything and see how that goes. Thanks

Intermittent loss of signal

Soon after install, I lost signal and could not make any calls. Wifi was working fine with app updates running in the background. The signal came back after a couple of minutes. Maybe my phone is just getting old and starting to glitch. Anyone else having this kind of problem?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sipher26:
No clean install always
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] frankcan:
Awesome rom ....been running it for a few days now. Its soooo sweet, smooth and fast.....

Thanks to the Dev. for keeping our beast of a phone rocking :good::good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] satans spawn1972:
I always do a complete wipe before I flash any ROM. I let it settle for over a day before going back to stock due to the lag issues that I was getting.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Hmm seems interesting that you are the only one that reports this. Oh well! Sorry you got this experience bc truthfully this is the fastest TW based Rom that I have ever ran.

Kind of weird, looking at your past post, that you seem to have this issue with a lot of roms.. Anyway hope you find something you like
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikeymopar:
Rom Customizer

i've flashed it many ways to test stuff out. without wipe/format internal there was always some lag here and there. doing a wipe/format ...it FLIES!!

also...for those new to Alliance there is a simple way to push images, boot anims, and sounds by using Rom Customizer app by Ficeto. it is also handy for removing and if need be restoring system apps too.

here is a basic sample for folder structure for pushing images. it can easily be modded for your purposes. it includes a new custom/ota battery selectable of course thru Custom Settings/Battery Options. it also includes the stock sammy picture_unknown.png for in call ui to replace the custom girl image (sorry [MENTION=5056266]lacoursiere18[/MENTION]).

just install the zip on your device, go to RC (RomCustomizer), select flash/install from zip location, select zip and reboot recovery. now, until the app is updated for 4.4 it'll hang and not reboot recovery. just manually reboot to recovery and it'll automatically finish the process for you.

one other note...if RC doesn't see your ext sd card just unmount it in settings>storage and remount ext sd. RC should see it then.

cheers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] CharliexCharger:
This did the trick for me. One thing I did also in addition that I failed to do previously was I preformed a Wipe Data/Factory Reset in addition selecting the clean rom install option with Philz.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] nelly_85:
Yeah mine lags when installing apps from play store all at once. I mean I guess installing apps takes up some resources. After it's done it's smooth
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Fourknucks:
Is it OK to use Xposed with this ROM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikeymopar:
different frameworks. it can cause issues if it even works. and you really shouldn't need to for the most part
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Fourknucks:
I use Xprivacy. Only mod I will really miss since this does most of what the others do
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] alanmv567:
Just installed this onto my girlfriends phone. One question although I might have to log it as a bug but does anyone else's emoticons work in the text message app? We'll have to restart the phone for her to be able to send one icon then it will just send blank ones after that
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] AngryDinosaur:
What do you think of this. Fresh boot up with full battery, nothing was opened overnight and 60 percent drain
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] alquistador:
Is there any way to turn off triple touch for? I looked everywhere can not find it.

Great rom
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Never had drain like that. It looks like mobile data and wifi are having the biggest effect. Were you running apps or downloads in the background?

Not sure what you mean?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] alquistador:
Triple touch zoom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] AngryDinosaur:
I don't think so, I plug in a new battery and boot up and that's it.

I'll try airplane mode tonight and see what's up
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] alanmv567:
Emojis working okay for you guys in the regular text message app?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikeymopar:
no problems here. did you check in messaging app>settings>Text messages>Input mode is set to automatic in order to see emojis?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] alanmv567:
Yup it's set to automatic. It will send the first one okay then afterwards it will all be blank boxes until we reboot the phone, then it will work again for one only then repeats same process.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikeymopar:
hmmm....i sent two texts with three emojis each and my daughter got both texts with all three displayed. the only thing i can suggest is try Hangouts app just to see if it works that way. other than that...ionno. maybe clear cache and data, force stop and then restart?????

edit: you're not using xposed emoji for android add-on or anything like that are you? xposed modules will mess stuff up coz of different frameworks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] alanmv567:
Just had her switch to the messenger developed by Google, it's working on that one. Something on the default messenger wouldn't let her send emojis. Thanks for the advice!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ruccarucca:
confused.

ive been running this rom since it was posted and came from complete stock. i flashed from internal just fine and have been running 3 different xposed modules completely fine? ive had amazing battery and speed. im kind of confused why everyone is saying that you have to flash from external and cant run xposed without messing things up? Great rom by the way.

oh incase anyone is wondering, i did flash the 5.0 GNL on top as my launcher and have been using XGELS,UNICON, and GB as my xposed modules.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Fourknucks:
Yeah i went ahead and installed Xposed myself and haven't had one issue yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
Alliance does all its magic using smali so xposed itself shouldn't cause issues the problems will arise when xposed and alliance are both trying to change the same thing
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ProFresh4:
Anyway to delete default apns?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] CharliexCharger:
Hmm nice to know. I wonder if that's why I experienced some hot boots and setting fc. Man, everyone is so helpful.

Thanks! Guess I'll get to uninstalling xposed. I primarily use it for scroll to the top and unicon. But they aren't necessarily needed.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rhaneyjr:

I have the same issue with emoticons on stock messaging app. Doesnt work for me either. I posted this in the 7105 forum but no one responded so i figured i was the only one. Sucks as i like the stock app! Only other thing i noticed is there is no GPS icon when you get a lock. Just an empty black box. And i cannot get the Att text to disappear on the left side of the notification bar using alliance customizer. Other than that this ROM rocks! ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] barry99705:
Since xposed can cause issues, is there any way to do per app dpi changes with this rom?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] CharliexCharger:
I use buildprop editor from the play store. Works pretty good. Sorry to clarify buildprop changes it system wide.

I read the thread and understand this is the att section of the note 2 but can some one give me the exact details on how to flash this on T-Mobile without losing network or data. I have twrp recovery installed. I read the while thread please don't attack me
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
It's a multi carrier release and will work on at&t n7105 and tmob. The only thing that will change is your buildprop which you can just change the device name manually if it bothers you (I can also give you a Flashable buildprop zip). Other than that you may have to manually enter your apns but it's not normally necessary

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] MmmmBeeeeer:
The install instructions for this ROM could be a little more detailed in that sense, because right now they imply that this ROM can be dirty flashed. I know it seems silly that anyone would do it, but not everyone is a flashing expert.

At least make note of the quote above that if you do not wipe your internal storage you will run into freezing issues as I did, because I just did the default wipe in TWRP.

ROM is working flawlessly now though, excellent work :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] absinthesummer:
You are absolutely right that not everyone is a flashing expert, perhaps [MENTION=5056266]lacoursiere18[/MENTION] will add the info to the OP. Thanks for the input and I'm glad a full wipe corrected the issues you were having ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
See this makes me laugh a little because if you do NOT know what you are doing or what the proper steps are in flashing on a device, you should prob not be doing this. I shouldn't have to explain step by step. If you don't know, time to invest some time and read up on the information this forum provides.

Over holding people's hands. I started at the bottom and now with a lot of reading, learning and teaching I am where I am now. You can do it too, but the effort needs to be there. This a site for DEVELOPERs not for people that want to make their phone look cool. I'm done on this subject just please do not tell me I need to make directions more clear. Have a good day
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] absinthesummer:
And I agree with that too... it definitely is not something learned overnight, it takes time & effort, breaking stuff to fix stuff. I know plenty of people who've spent years learning and growing with android, and many who benefit from that effort aren't willing to read or learn on their own, but they benefit just the same.

Either way, it's known now & from here forward, if you have issues after flashing, wipe your internal storage as well, it's a given with old files there will probably be conflict (although to be fair a lot of people are still getting used to the internal vs external storage setup).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] srkoza:
quick question, everything about this rom is great thank you dev for this awesome rom, im only having 2 issues but i can live without them, 1. is there a setting somewhere that you can still turn the screen on by just pressing the home button? ive gotten so used to it that i press it everytime and screen dont come on :) 2. my gps doesnt work, i am on the i317m from canada, and usually only the stock roms or something like the jedi roms my gps works, but if i install miui or this rom it doesnt, would anyone have a fix for that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
You can set home key in custom settings. In your stock rom look for an app like com.qualcomlocation.apk . If you have anything like that in stock switch it with the one in this rom see if it work's
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] MmmmBeeeeer:
Fair enough. Do you mind if i create a faq/q&a thread for people like me that are only here to make their phones look cool and have no interest in development? In the hopes that this thread isn't inevitably littered with dumb/repetitive questions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Go create what ever thread you feel is needed, I could give two $hits! If you would simply search you would find prob over a hundred threads on how to flash/wipe a device. Or just google it.. Another user that feels entitled..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] MmmmBeeeeer:
Thanks. I did not have a problem and I did figure it out in my own. I made a small suggestion and did not expect you to come off as a complete douchebag about it.

I am now running into FC/ freeze/ menus not working issues but obviously this is user error and i will try to figure it out on my own. Sorry for interrupting this hard hitting dev discussion
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Wow doing something on your own.. Now thats a start! Pull a log and see what all the crashes are..since there are so many. Thats right I would release a ROM that fc's and crashes. Would do GREAT things for this community.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] CharliexCharger:
Hey MB, I ran into the very same issues. Search a few pages back. There's a few different options to hopefully prevent the issues you're having. Doing a factory reset and wiping Data did the job for me. I'm using philz.

It could range from old files remaining on your internal storage, and or what you're wiping before you flash. Also note if you're using xposed issues could mount. Give that search option a run for its money. If you can't find it in this forum head over to the N7105 forum as there's a forum for this ROM there also. Good luck.

In Samsung the word Note 2 is pronounced t0lte.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] MmmmBeeeeer:
I did find that and reflashed with full internal wipe, did it 3 times to be sure. That corrected the Google Play issues, but a few other issues remained. No xposed mods running. I fixed everything myself using a different method.

I do thank you for the kind reply however.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rhaneyjr:
The only issue is had is system ui force close after a custom settings change. I have to reboot. Did this last night and I missed my 3am alarm. I'm going to turn off color links on the color a day option and see if it works. That's they only issue I've had. Fortunately I woke up at 2am and was able to see the phone with the ui fc message. Had to reboot to get the message to go away. BTW this also resets my wallpaper.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] barry99705:
I ended up installing xposed, and app settings anyway. Figure if anything explodes, I'll just reflash. I like running chrome, gmail, and calender with the tablet ui, they just look, and work better that way.

I am getting system error when phone alarm triggers. It causes that the the alarm can not be stopped manually. I have to reboot the phone to stop the alarm and clear the system issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikeymopar:
been working fine here. and like [MENTION=5056266]lacoursiere18[/MENTION] has always offered if you post an error log from dumpstate_app_error (use a file explorer to retrieve it) he'll try to take a look at it.

but to reiterate the two points that i've presented earlier...

while xposed modules can run with this rom several will cause weird/random issues. even removing it can still leave artifacts causing issues. if you have or have had xposed modules running i'd wipe and re-install and leave it completely bone stock for a couple days to see if it's all good.

which leads to....i've done a lot of flashing of the beta version and this version and no matter what i was coming from unless i wiped/formatted the system (int sd card) i would get some really random freezes, fc's, and lag/stuttering at times. it's a hard pill to swallow copying all your stuff off the int sd but since i've kinda settled on this release and have just been messing with basic mods the part about a full wipe/format is holding up...zero issues for a week now.

ionno...everyones phones are different in the sense of what is truly in the memory from everything we flash. seems that the new roms, especially ones with custom frameworks, etc seem to be really picky with data artifacts.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] nunzio00:
I'm fairly sure a real developer could take some feedback without reacting like a spoiled child. Another thing successful developers are capable of: effective documentation.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikeymopar:
That’s a rather scathing post of yours to be throwing out here (and even being your first XDA one at that). Criticizing devs is uncalled for in any situation. They owe you absolutely nothing. The OP for roms years ago was basically ‘Here’s my rom. Check it out if you want.’ No guides, rules, helpful suggestions, pretty pics, changelogs, etc, etc. You didn’t like something or something didn’t work you moved on OR SEARCHED FOR A SOLUTION. Pretty much how the term “Flashaholic” started with flashing newer and/or updated roms once, twice, or even three times a week. Lately, users are coming across as being entitled to fixes and answers as shown by the lack of searching or reading a thread for rom issues (a lot of times covered within the very first page or two) or for posting “I got a fc. Why?” without an error log.

Yes, some (ok, a lot) of devs are arrogant and quick-tempered; kind of fitting the mold of artistic, creative, genius types. There is no need for negative criticism by either devs or users. It just pisses everybody off. If you wanna post that you have a rom issue or a fix for an issue go ahead. If you wanna start a thread on how to flash a rom, change your modem, or change your kernel coz it’s not in the OP then go for it and add it to the dozens of others out there. If people would just take half of the time to search for answers as the dev put into making his rom everyone would be happier. The answers are out there somewhere…search, read, and search some more. THEN if you still have problems or questions post up, ask politely, include an error log if need be. A happy dev will always be there for you. You, [MENTION=6226766]nunzio00[/MENTION], on the other hand, are not welcomed if your first XDA post consists of name calling and telling a dev how he should work. Man up and apologize and maybe get a little respect back from the users here who appreciate the efforts of all devs and themers. And while you're at it add to your post that a successful user should be capable of possessing effective search methods. Try it yourself; you'll see that [MENTION=5056266]lacoursiere18[/MENTION] is an extremely helpful member of XDA looking thru all the threads he's in.

Sorry [MENTION=5056266]lacoursiere18[/MENTION] for taking up space here, just getting tired of seeing the same thing thread after thread after thread. Nice work man.
