I understand you don't know it but lets just for once clear this out and try to keep it in mind.

1. smiley face is forbidden in XDA, even to mention it. This is a developers forum and its natural that is not right to ask a developer how to cheat another developer.

2. Substratum are trying very strong to eliminate piracy of their themes and so they are taking some extra measures for that. First is, that smiley face, if it is installed , they don't let you proceed in their installation. Every one themer is using different method for that. Some are not allowing at all their theme to be install, others give errors in some elements, etc( you get that?)

Also , as I read in their thread, their engine and themes are some how registered with phones IMEI in google so to keep track if its really paid or not and its more likely that it cannot be used easily by any other who hasn't.

I hope i make you understand some things about that. So try to use free substratum....

Also version of busy box has nothing to do with that i think. I don't even have busy box installed in my phone and its working very well. Busy box is needed for the other thing we were talking about
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] reis1996:
What if I used the substratum theme engine and then installed smiley face?

This helped a lot
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Stud12376:
Ok so do you know any way to make substratum work in my device?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] logosA:
OK, I will tell you this and thats it.

If you make a fresh install, with nothing ''extra'' everything is working perfect.

If you add some extras later it would NOT affect the rom and themes in it

OK. Finally tried out substratum with six theme and its awesome. Had trouble making the theme to work as I had lots of errors till I updated it using playstore. Playstore doesn't see my apps anymore so I had to do it manually by typing in substratum hence I'm asking for an alternative to playstore now. All the same, all is working well. I had issue with contacts as they didn't show the numbers so had to uninstall contacts overlay and I can do without it. Call screen is dark and working for me ?

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] M_Hulot:
black screen on reboot

Hi All

Apologies in advance for my ignorance.

I wiped everything to flash cleanly the first iteration of the LineageOS ROM. It's worked well (very very well!!) for a day. Unfortunately I just restarted the phone and after the ANDROID logo got a black screen except for the status bar at the top and the quick-settings tiles. (breaking news: I can see notification of a phone call that I just got also)

I'm sorry I don't have log files to show. I'm just wondering if this is a common problem and if there's a way to fix it without a reinstall.

I've installed no theme. No GAPPs. I have F-Droid and apps from F-Droid installed. Since I was having that black screen problem on older versions of this ROM, for a while I rebooted after every change I made: Installing F-Droid, making it a system app, after installing IceCat, etc. No problems. Then I got lazy.

I see that some folks have recovered from something like this by "installing legacy.zip from the /sdcard/substratum folder" but I didn't install anything called substratum and if it's installed by default then for some reason I don't have that folder.

Thanks in advance if you can help!

Hulot

There used to be an app called CIFS Manager that would do it. Doesn't seem to be around anymore.

You can install a full Debian distro on your phone using LilDebi from the Guardian Project. It obviously will give you NFS. I'm not very adept so my lack of success shouldn't deter you, but simply modifying /etc/fstab appropriately did not work for me.

Kodi.tv allows NFS shares and has a version for Android. According to this:

https://www.reddit.com/r/kodi/comments/3r8buv/nfs_ok_on_windows_not_on_android/

some folks are able to make NFS shares work on rooted phones. If you are interested in using media files, this might be your answer?

I'm waiting it being fixed then i will flash this ROM :)

Any suggestions on what I should prepare before flashing coming from Marshmallow? I heard that this rom doesnt install my apps automatically, so you have to install all apps manually.

I guess everyone will suggest a backup of my current ROM, Titanium backup and data for apps right? what else?

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] logosA:
About substratum. I have told every one , if you feel '' smiley'' you will regret it in the end. The only solution I am afraid is clean flash of the ROM which will remove all previous substratum leftovers
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] logosA:
In android N no rom is automatic instaling your apps the moment you hit play store.

You have to manually install them one by one.But they are all there to remind you which you had previous installed (through play store)

so go to play store>my apps and games>installed>all and there you will be able to see and select which to install

You can take though, a titanium backup all your apps with data and after the installation, titanium is able to restore back all your data in the apps you have already installed from play

Problem solved with FlashFire.

Now I can flash normally in twrp with or without gapps,

LineageOS or other roms based on LineageOS.

I was in latest agni kernel for cm13

I think it was a problem between agni and twrp

Now with lineage kernel properly installed twrp screen looks

improved about quality of colors.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] logosA:
I am glad you have solved your problem, but i dont think it was agni related more maybe some boot.img you had to some point flashed in your phone.

I really don't know why you all have this problem.

Here what i do and never had a problem with substratum themes and engine.

try to see what difference there is in you installation.

Always doing clean flash, wiping everything and also format data.

I keep all my stuff in the ext card so nothing to be lost.

Install rom, gapps clear cashe and dalvik reboot.

Install all apps from play and APK from me ext sdcard.

Give all permissions to all apps and settings that could be asked. Clean system with sd maid after that. connect to all social XDA, TELEGRAM, etc and I reboot phone for all permissions to be enabled.

Open theme engine , apply theme and thats it.

This probably might be an issue with sync with google. You may find duplicates in google contacts and those get reflected in your device as the sync runs on periodically. If you are not concerned about the contacts to be backed up or synced to google, here is the way:

login to your google account from a pc>from left navigation bar, find link for contacts>delete all the contacts so there won't be any contacts to sync up with your mobile devices. Before doing this, make sure that you have a backup of your actual contact list so you can restore it back once the deletion is done.

Hope this helps.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] digital0:
No, contacts.google.com don't show duplicates and I am concerned about the contacts to be backed up or synced to google.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Sukumar Ballavolu:
May be because of the permissions issue. Try toggling the permissions for storage to the browser that you are using to download the files with.This should possibly work.

[MENTION=3072588]digital0[/MENTION] [MENTION=7817599]Stud12376[/MENTION]

Like somebody here said, the best method now would be to do go into contacts and use the option to merge contacts. This will remove duplicates visually. After that, export the .vcf (all your contacts) to external card. At this point you should have relatively clear picture of your contacts, probably including some contacts that are email only (like i had).

Now, you should remove/delete all the contacts from the contacts app while it's still in sync with google - which will probably make google whine with message "too many contacts to delete". After you remove them, stop the gmail/google sync. Duplication will stop.

There are 2 ways you can go after all of this:

1. Stop the sync in viber and whatsapp and then remove contacts again (because they will be populated from viber and whatsapp), and add the .vcf you backed up manually from the contacts app.*

2. Dont stop viber/whatsapp sync and you contacts app will have all the contacts you had in viber.*

It's on you to decide because it depends on which contacts list is bigger - viber/whatsapp or the .vcf one

*Worth remembering*: you will not be able to add new contacts to you phone locally - it will add new contacts to google. To skip this there's an app:

As for the app, [MENTION=7183081]cristobalite1983[/MENTION] used "mylocalaccount" app to sort most of the stuff so you might want to private message him to see how he managed to deal with this issue.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] manishgkasera:
oops my bad, yes GPS is not working, tried using GPS test app.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] digital0:
I've done that, but contacts duplicate again after some time. Could anyone please recommend good app for automatic contacts merging?

Too much trouble, besides, I see normal non duplicated contacts in contacts.google.com.

I don't want to stop google sync. I want to use google sync.

I don't have viber nor whatsapp nor anything else what could mess with contacts. In Settings->Accounts there are:

IMAP, Facebook, Google, Revolut, Twitter.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Stud12376:
They only duplicate when WhatsApp syncs them, what you can do is merge all the contacts like they should be, then export them to ext SD card as vcf, so that if they get duplicated, you can just delete all contacts and just import the vcf instead of again merging them, then when in contacts app, swipe down to sync them.

Also, what i learned that may be correct, that if you sync from contacts app, the contacts saved at Google will get changed and if you sync through setting, then contacts on your phone will get changed, it happened with me when i removed pictures from my contacts, when i synced then from setting, all pictures came back but when i first synced then from contacts app, and then again synced from setting app, they didn't get back, So i concluded this
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] digital0:
Well, they duplicated *after* I uninstalled whatsapp. And as I told, I don't want to mess with vcf, I have good normal contacts in https://contacts.google.com.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] cristobalite1983:
Try contacts optimiser. Check it on playstore. Works well in finding duplicates and merging them into one.

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] cristobalite1983:
I think it's part of the device. Even when I was on another rom based on kitkat, I still had the duplication issue. I just had to try to link them manually back then. It can't be helped except only using those apps that have the contacts you want on your device. My problem was saving contacts to Gmail which I didn't want and this affected my whatsapp contacts from seeing my sim contacts which I imported so I disabled that and now I save to phone directly. Using contacts optimiser, I can see both Gmail and phone contacts and if I want, merge them or back them up. It's a lifesaver app ?
