The overall appearance is stock, there are a lot of tweaks and the thing runs MUCH smoother than stock rom.

I just flashed RC3 I will try to get some images up.

I haven't found this anywhere but is there a way to shutoff the iPhone type popup notifications for SMS?

I have an issue with docked sound.

I have an OEM car dock with AUX out. It's supposed to do audio through the USB connector.

When i dock the phone on your rom, it recognizes that it's docked, and car mode pops up, and it charges through the USB port on the dock, but it doesn't seem to route audio to the USB port. I have to plug the AUX cable into the phone itself, instead of the dock, to get audio from it.

I haven't even verified that it works with the stock rom, so if it's not a known issue, or a case of "Oh I modified these docking related files", let me know. I'll flash a stock firmware, dock while running logcat, then restore your rom and do the same.

what exactly is the apn issue people are having and I will try to help.


give as many details as possible.

as posted in the dev thread I connect to LTE, wifi, 3g+ all with no issues in an LTE area by simply using apn back up and restore to back up and restore the apns...just like we did on the skyrocket


Can't seem to find any details other than peolple freaking out that supl is not listed in the type field...

we verified months ago that this has no affect on the ability to connect to lte or 3g+ etc...


Have been running rogers roms on our skyrockets since December with no issues and now on my note with no issues.

I have issues using Google weather in beautiful Widgets. I think it is because of the geolocation services. I believe that is the main function of the supl.

It pulls the information fine for me...am I missing something?


for example

I don't use beautiful widgets..I dloaded it, turned off wifi, deleted default city information and chose geoloacation. ...it pulls the current city and weather information just fine

even put in another city 40 miles away and it pulls my current location and weather

the phone keeps rebooting into CWM recovery...Can't get out T_T

Hi all,

Let me start by saying I am no expert in any of this stuff.

I rooted my galaxy note, flashed Sauron Rom up to RC4 and was fine. And then I wanted to use Long press back key function, but this time, instead of "power off" first from the phone and "pressing volume down and up and power button" to access CWM recovery, I chose instead "Recovery" option to shut my phone and boot into CWM. Now, my phone keeps booting into CWM recovery mod no matter what I do with it. I erase/factory reset, wipe cache, delvik, even restore to old rom several times. However, every time I choose "reboot system now", it reboots then comes right back into CWM recovery mode. Please someone help this newbie out!!! PLEASE!!!

I had a similar issue where my device kept looping into CWM and wouldn't fully boot. The solution that worked for me was to re-flash CWM. Try that first and then if it still does not boot, then do a restore. This worked for me.

how to download zip and rar files with your stock browser

Dagr8 is their anyway to add the rom thru odin? The reason why I ask I bought this phone off someone. They messed up the phone didn't tell me what the problem was so I kinda got scammed . I don't have access to internal storage so I can't transfer anything in folders.

Download androzip in the market so your stock browser can download .zips, then download the Rom from your phones browser but when its done don't press it in the task bar just reboot to recovery, wipe, then flash with cwm from the directory you download to from your browser (sd card/external sd)

why is that rom based of rogers/canada when this an ATnT forum?

i havent attempted to install because of all the APN problem madness

I'm also wanting to flash this ROM, but all the chatter I read about the issue with APN scares the hell out of me. I had an hTC Hero the european version, and playing around with the APN was not fun at all..

      _Deluxe Settings / misc options / enable home haptic feedback

      _ Go in Settings / applications / Manage applications , choose 'all ' tab
      Then clear all data and cache of both Google play store nad google services Framework
      _ Reboot into recovery and wipe cache and wipe Dalvik - Cache . ( no need to factory reset )

      Didnt work ? Do it again

      _Back long press allows the usage of holding back button to kill foreground application
      _Volume Wake allows to wake the phone from standby by touching the volume keys instead of the power button
      _No Record will remove the Call recording ability from Saurom .
      _Revert removes both long press and volume wake options
      _Kernel fix is needed whenever you flash (via CWM ) another kernel otherwise the phone will bootloop .

    Custom Menu Explained​

    • How to Modify the toggles

      _scroll down to 'Widget Button order'

      Drag the toggles on top , you cant drag to position 2 or 3 etc so you ll have to work your way of the top


    • Add , Edit or remove toggles

      _scroll down to 'Widget Buttons'

      Check or uncheck those you want 16 to choose from .

      Inside the 'Widget Buttons' there is a sub menu scroll down .
      From there you can change the behavior of the Brightness and Sound button .

    • How Do I switch from TSM 's Toggles to Jkay's ?

      To enable/revert the toggles :
      open jkay deluxe go to set status bar option scroll to the bottom and check or uncheck 'Show alternative toggles' ( requires reboot)

    • Some Settings wont stick or Don't work

      USE COMMON SENSE JKAY mods and the new mods cant overlap each other :
      For example:
      remove text is a jkay toggle option. wont work with the TSM ones .
      same thing for show 8 toggles
      You cant add signal text via JKAY and change its color via the new options you need to add it custom menu then change its color
      you cant remove carrier text in JKAY and then edit it in custom menu

      The possibilities are endless, tweaks are very specific and allow customization to the extreme , dont expect to get it all the way you want under 20 minutes .

    so I was looking for an explanation on how to setup the bln exactly to make it work with the stock sms, and after searching thru both the rom thread and the discussion thread I found the proper settings thanks to DAGr8 that I think it should be added to the op's FAQ so if a newcomer flashes this awesome rom and wants to set up the bln doesn't need to ask the question or search, it already be in the FAQ.

    How to get BLN working with Stock messaging app

    1. In the stock messaging app, in menu/settings, Disable the notification message.

    2. In SMS Popup app, Enable SMS Popup. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.everythingandroid.smspopup&hl=en
    3. Right below, In Notifications/Default Notifications:
    **Uncheck "Show a Popup" if you don't want the popup window onscreen (iphone/miui style) when a message arrives.
    **Checked if you do*
    4. Check "Enable Notifications"
    5. Now go to Additional Settings and in Screen Control, make sure Screen on for Popup is unchecked, so the screen won't wake up when an sms is received and now you'll have working bln with every text in stock messaging app
    .

    I'm glad for this as I get a lot of text and this will keep me from turning on the screen 100 times in a day to check if i got a message.
