This is an awesome rom. I am using this on a Canadian wind note 2 and everything works great except for the lock screen news ticker. It gives me an error message saying yahoo can't identify the country. When I try to go to settings I can't open the options tab. I'm running a AOSP theme. Mabey it's the theme.

Other then that rom is great some really nice features

Themes can get kinda twitchy on this ROM, need to be specifically written for the 23-toggle mod. Another on the list of projects we've got going on for the T889. :)

I'll check with the DEV on tethering. I myself use the tethering widget, which has never given me an upsell page, though you might need to change the UA string on your connected browser to make it work. Then again, I'm also on the X series, so that may be the difference.

Pics stay same as always right? And, is this a 4.1.2 based ROM or 4.2.x based ROM? I'd really like a 4.2 based if at all possible, but will experiment w/ current versions if necessary :) I know the SS's say 4.1.1 but not knowing how old those are... is why im asking this.

Just so you know, Jedi X6 is now running the 4.1.2 firmware. :good:

Grertings all Jedi,
Okay funny story: I happen to have the force on both my sgs2 and my note2. Well I needed to redo some things on my phone then I notice x3 is ready for my sgs2, well I have not been in the sgs2 forum for a bit (enjoying my note way too much), so I go to check which version I have and the darn thing says jedi master 6 and I cant figure out for the life of me why it says that so I think oh well let me just download upgrade and I will figure it out later. So I download x3 and I love thay it is a no wipe. I all set to install when I notice my s2 sitting beside me...I was about to install x3 on my note2!!!!!!

Whew....saved by a pause.

Okay so I rarely post but was prompted to this evening for a few reasons: PTMR3 works really hard to bring us these amazing roms. He's not getting paid for it. He shares his time, his knowledge and his talents with us on a daily basis. Just as this is one of his many passions and loves, so is it mine. I know how the world works and how people are. It still saddens me to read all the drama and entitlement people bring. I just wanted to tell ptmr3 "How thankful I am for everything he does to make my life more enjoyable!" Keep up the great work!"

I don't know if this will help anyone but If I am having an issue with anything rom related I read a lot!" I hope this will help ptmr3 and the others
that seem to be having issues with the flashlight and reboot toggles not working properly. Click on the link I posted and hopefully it will shed some light on it.

Love the rom. Do have a question though.

If you modify the LCD density (I prefer 240 over 320), the stock Samsung apps do not scale to the new "resolution". Is this, by chance, fixable?

My only solution was to get other apps (CameraZOOM for the camera, etc...) to circumvent the look of a skewed interface.

Ideas?

    WELCOME TO THE JEDI ACADEMY!

    We're pleased to welcome all Jedi, from Initiate to Master here for questions and answers about the Jedi ROM series. Our goal here is to provide a platform where you can ask questions, seek advice, and gain insight and knowledge about the ROM, especially in the immediate pre- or post- flash time period.

    One thing we cannot stress enough - READ THE OP (Original Post) for the ROM you're thinking of flashing completely to familiarize yourself with any changes or issues. The OP is updated (usually in advance) of all new releases, and contains *important* information about the release.

    Lastly, style counts as much as substance here. We take great pride in being polite, respectful, and generous in our time and devotion to helping improve the Jedi ROM experience. While we can't guarantee we can respond immediately to all questions, we make every effort for someone to be around to help out should you need it. As the Jedi council grows, you can expect more names from people you can ask directly for more detailed or personalized help.

    Below, you will find an FAQ with the most commonly asked questions about the Jedi ROM series. Please be a little patient with us as we grow the list and get it entered. As you all know, typing all of this stuff out takes time, so growing it will take some time.

    Now that you've made through all of that, feel free to start looking, and remember that the SEARCH THIS THREAD box to the right of Thread Title is your friend, and can lead you to the necessary answers in many instances. I am working on the fuller FAQ now, and I promise it will grow as we wade through the threads looking for the most common questions!

    Thanks for your patience and commitment to the Jedi ROM series!

    Q0 HELP!!!! I TRIED TO ROOT AND FLASH THIS ROM AND NOW I CAN'T GET PAST THE SAMSUNG OR ANDROID SCREENS (OR ANYTHING OF THAT NATURE)
    A0 There's an EXCELLENT thread for recovering from a bad flash HERE. (Mad thanks to bigapplevip for the link in the Jedi X5 Thread for posting this!)

    Q1 Why won't my 64Gb SD Card work?
    A1
    The Saber 02 Kernel, used by both the Jedi Master and Jedi X series, does not support xfat formatting. In order for a 64GB card to work, you can either format the card in FAT32, or switch to the Perseus kernel for the phone, which supports exfat.

    Q2 Does this have multi-window support and wifi calling?
    A2 The Jedi Master ROM has wifi calling enabled, but no multi-window support. The Jedi X Series has multi-window, but no wifi calling.

    Q3 My AmeriTrade or Samsung Galaxy Note II User's Digest isn't working.
    A3 Uncheck "Force GPU rendering" in "Settings/Developer Options"

    Q4 Why can't I find XXMyAppHereXX in the app drawer?
    A4 Bloat or anything the Dev sees as extra or not needed by everyone or available on the Market was removed!! See link to GoodyBag in the OP or find in the Market

    Q5 With the 5X5 Home Screen, my widgets are all squished-looking!
    A5 Remove and re-add the widget, it will self-fix.

    Q6 My phone won't sync with Kies via USB!
    A6
    Jedi Master and Jedi X support Kies via USB. You may find that you lose connectivity to Kies after restoring from Titanium. If this happens, disconnect the phone, run the connection Troubleshooter (which reinstalls the USB drivers and checks them), then reconnect the phone. You should be set after that.

    Q7
    Can I dirty flash over Version XX with Version XY?
    A7 In some cases, yes. But, should you encounter stability issues or the occasional bartender who sees your phone and says "Their kind isn't allowed in here!", then you *may* want to full wipe. As a rule, I myself ALWAYS full wipe, system, flash ROM and any other .zips, wipe caches, boot, drink a root beer, and reboot. I've never, ever had a stability issue with a Jedi ROM. One thing to keep in mind is that you should ALWAYS CLEAN FLASH when a new BASE is used. This information will always appear in the OP for the ROM you're going to flash.

    Q8
    What does "Dirty Flash" mean?
    A8 It means flashing a new ROM straight from the old, without wiping data or system. This leaves your old system data intact, but *can* cause stability issues. The council recommends a full wipe as stated in the OP, but your results may vary.

    Q9
    I flashed Jedi and now my XXyouapphereXX doesn't work anymore or behaves poorly.
    A9 Some apps seem to have issues with new releases. Go Locker appears to have an issue with Jedi X5 (thanks to NeoAndroid for reporting that). If you have an issue, try reinstalling the app. If that doesn't cure your issue, post up, and we'll see what we can find out.

    Q10
    How do I get the carrier name back on the pull-down on my home screen?
    A10 Easy answer - flash a new theme. Otherwise, you'd need to open the apk and change xml, which is NOT advised. NOTE: Themes not EXPRESSLY authored for the 23-toggle WILL NOT WORK.

    Q11 How do I change the boot animation?
    A11 You'll need root access, and just change the bootanimation.zip in "system/media"

    Q12 Help!!! My battery is being eaten alive by this ROM!
    A12 Install GSAM Battery Monitor. It's free, and gives us really useful info about what's hitting up your battery. Generally speaking, it's best to give it at least 24 hours and a full charge cycle before getting too excited. Since we all use our phones differently, YMMV.

    Q13
    Why am I not getting 4G/What happened to the 4G icon/Now I'm only getting 3G, why? etc...
    A13 Starting with Jedi X7.2, the Status Bar now shows Correctly what TYPE of network you are connected to. H+ is 4G, H is 3G, and E is 2G GPRS/Edge

    Q14 How do I flash a different theme from Aroma?
    A14 A dirty flash is all you need to do.

    We're VERY proud of of Dev, and his AWESOME releases. One way we show our appreciation is with banners. Please feel free to use any of the below if you use/appreciate/or just think Jedi are cool. :)

    Google his the developer settings in 4.3 +. You have to unlock them. Go to the about phone sections of your settings and click on the build number 7+ times and the developer settings will appear in your settings screen.

    Why is this thread here? Other than becoming a jedi groupie, the OP wont be able to answer any technical questions. Using the XDA search is a far better venue, which is also stated in the rules.

    *Signature blocks shouldn't default to free advertising.*
    Sent from my T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 2 via Solavei.

    Actually the op is very knowledgeable and can answer youe questions. When there is a question hes not sure of he messages me to he sure his answer is correct. This is not a groupie thread it is a q&a so that I donr have to spend so much time answering questions. No need for unpleasant comments
