Dunno tbh - from what I have heard there are some aspects of the kernel that need to be modified a bit to have the CRT stuff actually show. What those are and how to do so - no clue unfortunately.

/useless-posts-by-me

Nothing beats Perseus imo. Battery life is amazing using Perseus with this ROM and the CRT animation works perfectly with it.

Re: [ROM][TW][VRALL4][2-18-13] Tweaked VZW Remix

Which kernel would you suggest? I think I'm using the PeanutButta Jelly kernel.

I'm using the PBJ kernel and the AOSP lock screen and CRT off animation is working for me. Did you flash the PBJ kernel after flashing this rom? If not your still using the kernel from your last rom. This doesn't flash a kernel so you have to flash it separately.

Edit: I take that back. I checked to make sure my CRT off animation was working and it's not. Maybe your right that it doesn't work with the AOSP lock screen.

I am fairly certain it doesn't depend on the lockscreen - does it work on the stock lockscreen?

Thanks for the replies guys! Sounds like I should use Perseus if I want the CRT off animation! :good:

Actually it's inconsistent. Sometimes it does and others it doesn't.

Re: [ROM][TW][VRALL4][2-18-13] Tweaked VZW Remix

Do you want to see your phone be really fast? Shut off all animation. Animations take up CPU cycles and RAM to do nothing but slow your phone down. I hate them all. I shut them off on my computer too.

Yep, I either turn mine to .5 or off on every ROM.

Same here all eye-candy off. Though on this device I don't see much difference in responsiveness. It's fast. I tell people that if it was any faster it would be on the next screen before I even tapped on it.

Seriously it's almost too fast. I can't even make decisions on what to do with it. I have to plan what screens I'm going to open otherwise my brain can't keep up with the speed it's moving at haha

You would have to decompile the launcher apk. Or just use Nova Launcher.

Sent from my Inverted Note 2 TweakedVzwRemix @ 240 DPI

I appreciate the suggestion. Nova worked out great! Not only did it disable the wallpaper scrolling, but it also fixed the issue of the bottom row of icons being cut off in landscape mode on this ROM. It also fixed that stupid Touchwiz bug that was turning all of my Task Cut icons to the default Tasker icon and removing their labels.

I'm stoked! :good:

Thanks,

Bodie

I guarantee that I missed a lot of posts as I clicked "First Unread" and it brought me to page 24 and I know that the last time I was here it was on page 10 or so. However, I've posted an update and change log. Have fun :) I'll also try to go through the thread tomorrow and catch up with what I've missed.

WOW, I can't even tell you how appreciative I am of that. I was SOOOOO looking forward to an update. Absolutely love this ROM, without a doubt the best available for the Galaxy Note 2 IMO

THANK YOU!!

And, in case anyone is wondering, the T-Mobile port has Wifi Calling. That isn't supported on VZW, so don't expect it to work here. I've left out everything but the options in TSM Parts (which I will hide at some point) for it, so don't get your hopes up if you read the Tweaked change log for T-Mobile and see "Wifi Calling" there and wonder why it doesn't work here.

Awesome ROM! One of my favorites, by far.

I don't ask for suggestions for future releases because I feel back asking a dev to do more work then they have to, but I thought it'd be cool to have the Messaging app itself (when reading the conversation bubbles) to be transparent. Just like how when you first open the app, the list of recent conversations have transparent background.

If you don't want to do that, I'll still be perfectly happy! Keep up the superb work!

    This is a port of Tweaked for the T-Mobile Note 2, and the update to their latest OTA. It was ported by taking the changes and merging them into the VZW firmware, not by just replacing a few files. I will continue to maintain this and update it with the T-Mobile version, and also with future VZW Updates. It is TouchWiz and based on the latest OTA, VRALL4VRAMC3. I'm also working with dwitherell on some changes, though he did most of the work. There is a laundry list of changes, so see the main thread for a full change list. I'll put some basic stuff here though.

    [size=+2]Features[/size]
    • Deodexed
    • Debloated
    • Rooted
    • Busybox (compiled by me)
    • Hacked Mobile Hotspot to ignore provisioning (tether without the plan)
    • N7100 Boot and Shutdown animations/sounds
    • Change Clock Position and Display
    • Battery Icon/Number/Color/MIUI
    • Hide Status Bar Icons
    • All Apps in Multi-Window
    • Toggles that will blow your mind
    • NFC with screen off, lockscreen, or standard
    • Lockscreen changes
    • Chrome Replaces Browser
    • Some changes to Mms
    • Camera Modified to ignore the battery
    • APN Editor
    • Removed Wifi Nag and Non-VZW SIM Message
    • Removed Backup Assistent
    • Will always display "Normal" for device status
    • Reboot Options
    • Volume won't change when plugging in headphones

    [size=+2]Known Issues[/size]
    Setup Wizard craps out on you. Just leave setup and things work fine.

    [size=+2]To Do List[/size]
    Fix Setup Wizard
    Basic Aroma Options <-- Going a different route

    There is more, and many of the things are available in the other ROMs posted here as well. Feel free to use whomever's ROM you want, I'm just posting this for some variety :) If you want screenshots, download and install it, then take them yourself. It will look different based on the options you set in TSM Parts for colors/transparency/icons/etc. and trying to get pictures of everything would take forever and take up bandwidth.

    [size=+2]FAQ[/size]
    I'm getting a "Status 7" error when installing, WTF?
    Update recovery. The recovery that is flashed during unlock does not process asserts properly (was compiled for a different model Note 2). You need to update recovery to fix it. Once you update recovery, complain to AdamOutler who isn't keeping his recovery updated in the unlock packages.

    I flashed the ROM, now I'm looping on the Samsung boot logo, why did you break my phone?
    If you read the title, this is a ROM. It is not a ROM+Kernel. If you weren't on a TouchWiz ROM beforehand and you are coming to this, you need to flash a kernel before going out of recovery. Otherwise, your phone isn't going to work.

    Why is my phone not sleeping on the latest update?
    If you've installed the latest update, there is a new option for "no wake lag". If you check this option, your phone will not sleep. It keeps any "lag" from happening by keeping the phone from entering deep sleep. This doesn't affect battery life too much unless you are in a poor signal area. If you didn't check this option, it's time to start investigating.

    Where is Aroma?
    I'm looking into it, but don't expect miracles when it does show up. Aroma is needlessly complex, and I don't want to deal with troubleshooting 500 different installation options and worrying about supporting them when I wouldn't use 99% of them. I'm going to make a couple changes for an upcoming release to give you some minor customization options, but nothing major.

    What the hell is TSMParts (new option in Settings menu)?
    A huge slew of mods and tweaks originally put together by the original members of TSM and inspired by impressive works of numerous others - the TSMParts interface acts as a control for all of the customizable fun available. There are a large number of options there - so make sure to check them all out!

    I set a statusbar icon to hide, but it's still there. What gives?
    The statusbar icon tweaks may require a little effort on your part for changes to take effect. All changes can be elicited with a reboot/hotboot, BUT for most there are other ways:
    -- Bluetooth/vibrate-silent/alarm icons/ime -- just change their state (on/off or vibrate/sound, etc)
    -- No sim -- if the notification is already active you will need to reboot/hotboot to hide it

    How does this One Hand toggle work?
    The toggle, when on, forces ALL one-hand options to be selected. When off, it reverts the settings to WHATEVER they were before the toggle was turned on. This is still a work in progress, but it's a start. That being said - I'm open to suggestions on how to improve it :)

    The toggles in the pulldown are suddenly a weird large size (width) - what gives?
    This happens sometimes (usually if auto-rotate is enabled) - all you need to do to "reset" the size of the toggles is enable auto-rotate, then go into an app that allows for rotation and ...well, rotate. Rotate back and check the pulldown - all should be well once again.

    This is the best thing since sliced bread, can I make it rain?
    Since dwitherell did most of the hard work, it'd be great if you donated to him first. Otherwise, you can click the DONATE TO ME button to the left, or click here, it's appreciated, but not expected. Clicking thanks on the posts also works.

    This thing is worse than Tub Girl, how do I go back to what I had before?
    Restore your phone from a backup. Didn't backup before you flashed? Guess you should have

    I'm having a problem, FIX IT NAO!!!1!
    Send me the output from logcat as well as details of what you do when you see the problem. If you don't know how to get info from logcat, see here. If you still can't get the info, I guess you'll just have to deal with it.

    Can we get XYZ feature added?
    Link to it, and I'll talk it over with dwitherell

    Why don't you mention blah blah blah in your FAQ? It would have helped me a lot!
    My bad - PM me anything you think should be added to this that would be helpful for the general user base! :)

    It is going to be a 6/24 build, but I sent it to the two people that have themes out for the ROM so they could get a head start so you wouldn't have to wait as long if you've themed your phone. I'll upload it when I get off work and get home.
