I like Rom Toolbox too, but if I can't get to the files on the storage card, how am I to install it? Or Titanium Backup or anything else that's stored on the sd card?

Hey slesh, what are the other 2 things you install right away? Just curious what your essential items are on a fresh install.
Some kind of weird spyware payload???
I just loaded this ROM and it looks great. Wasn't too happy that auto update was enabled on Google Play, but whatevs. Odd thing was the phone rebooted shortly after I turned off auto update. ROM was pretty fresh. All I had doe was NANDROID and turn off auto updates after I realized it was auto updating.
I was poking around after turning that off and noticed that "Mobile Tracker v1.0" and a few other things with a similar icon had virtually unlimited tracking/monitoring capabilities on my phone. Is that part of the ROM, the toolkit, or supposed to be there? There wasn't much other information there. I'd rather not have spyware on my phone, so what can I do to remove this stuff? Some of it could be legit, but I don't know, I've never seen it before. I am looking in the "All" section of the APplication manager. They all reference the ability to call SysScope. They have a weird Paper background witha gear icon, not the "normal" android icon for system utilities.

CSC
IOTHiddenMenu

PhoneUtil
Preconfig
RilNotifier
SysScope (different icon)

Is this spyware or some part of one of those apps I'm not famaliar with that came bundled with the ROM?

VPN issues??
I've tried 2 different OpenVPN apps and they are giving me different errors.
One says that "your android firmware does not support the VPNService API("
OpenVPN Connect says "Sorry, due to a known issue in this version of android, it is not possible to gain permission to open a VPN tunnel"
There seems to be a few problems popping up with OpenVPN based VPNs in various Android 4.x OSs, but none complaine about 4.3 specifically. Usually they complain about 4.4 or back when 4.0 and 4.1 were new. I found this article talking about it on OpenVPN, and they're just pointing the finger, but I can't find the actual bug referenced:
https://forums.openvpn.net/topic13772.html
What the heck??? ARGH
Any ideas on how to fix this up? I'd prefer the strength of OpenVPN over PPTP.
I emailed the email for OpenVPN connect and they emailed me back almost immediately. The guy seems to think the problem is related to the dialog popup for the confirmation acknowledgement that you are sure that the app that you paid for, downloaded, installed, logged into , and just clicked connect, again, is indeed something that you want to connect to, that's designed to protect you from yourself, because that's probably missing, the whole thing is crashing down and broken (my synopsis).
I tried installing these tools:
http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.blinkt.vpndialogxposed
(I think XPosed was already in the ROM though....)
that I found out about here:
https://code.google.com/p/ics-openvpn/wiki/FAQ
but that didn't seem to help with either the OpenVPN Connect app or the other one I am working with.
ugh.

I'll re-load this ROM (I was hoping to get back to it, YEY!) and then load some "bloat" lol. I guess I just need those two labeled VPN - VPNClient.apk and VPNDialogs.apk? Probably? And then I can use xposed to suppress that weirdo nagging prompt about protecting myself. Maybe?
*update 1*
reflashing to Venum STS (is that what this is called?) and then removing all the APKs besides the named VPN APKs allowed me to use my specific VPN providers VPN app. I will try again in a little bit with the OpenVPN app(s) and see how those do. My next test though is to suppress that super annoying "protection" prompt with xposed and that xposed module.
Thanks given to Slesh for the reply. I work in tech support and it's a godsend to actually get a dev to respond. My engineering teams at work do not deign to respond to lowly people like us on the front lines, so I *love* getting responses
Don't judge me *update 2*
Post "bloat" install
I had to install the xposed core and the xposed vpn bypass module to bypass the nag prompt, but it works great. Thanks to the devs who did the heavy lifting!

OP
I am using different rom for Tmobile Note 2 and the lasso/crop/share feature is missing. I have noticed that you were able to solve this issue in your rom for 4.3. Could you explain which files/apk are necessary for this feature to work?
I have tried judt copying Ssuggest_j_device_only.apk into /system/app and nothing worked.
Thank you very much in advance!!!
EDIT: I figured it out. it was SuggestionService.apk only in /system/app/ folder.

After using it for a while...., lots of random stuff
Is the voicemail app supposed to work? i don't think mine is. I have not explored this though.
I seem to have broken the long press home button functionality somehow. After some form of crash/reboot, a long press on the home button will bring up the reboot menu as if I had instead long pressed on the power button. I reset APEX back to the default settings and that did not resolve the issue. I didn't find any APEX settings that addresses the issue either :-/ Any ideas besides reverting back to a NANDROID?
On a possibly related note, how can I configure PIE to ignore the keyboard area? I looked around the controls and it looks like I might be able to do so, but I'm not sure what the keyboard process is named. Right now I'm using the Samsung keyboard. I'd also like to whitelist the Lastpass keyboard if i go down this route. For now I'm disabling PIE, though I'd like to turn it on.
I've noticed that I still have reboot problems even with this ROM, so I think it's the phone, the network, or maybe an app on my phone. Any tips or logging software to narrow that down, or a list of usual offenders? I tried aLogRec and that didn't really get me much useful info
On a related note, does Firefox for Android crash almost all the time for everyone else too?
Is there much to be done about this annoying 4.3 "your WiFi connection is unstable"? I see lots of other people complaining too, but not much in the way of fixes, and it seems kind of like a 4.3 bug almost.

Full Wipe is Strongly Recommended. Rom is Odexed, If you have issues after not doing so I can't Help.
I, nor anyone associated with the mods, are responsible for anything that happens to your device upon flashing. We do this to better our devices, not get caught up in poor wiping procedure

I absolutely love this rom but it ruined my 64gb SanDisk card bought a new Samsung 64gb card and it too is not recognized... Figured I'd see if it's just me. Downloaded multiple times and it's the same thing.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2
Nothing about my rom "ruined" your sd card. Flash perseus kernel, or stock kernel. This is an issue with exfat modules being totally proprietary and untouchable not my rom.
Edit: honestly this is becoming frustrating, I wish people would read a bit across the forums. Exfat is an ongoing issue and im SICK of hearing about it. Honestly at this point...learn how to build your own kernel. People request kernel features like they're theme features. If you dont like my kernel, THEN JUST FLASH PERSEUS OR STOCK!!! OMG. Dont mean to be a **** but damn people, this has been gone over so many times.
64gb users are SUCH a minority yet I hear so much crap from them. Fu $#in read a little before you complain in my thread. If you have a prob with your 64 gb stupid sd card FLASH PERSEUS!!!! (Or...build your own...simple right?)
I shouldnt have to write all this damnit lol.
You all should know better if you're buying a damn note 2 and flashing random stuff on it, exfat is kernel (NOT ROM) dependant and is hit or miss
So please, someone other than Andreilux gives us a kernel with working exfat for TW roms built from MA7 source. Im not at all saying im doing everything right. But im just a regular guy that taught himself everything from scratch and am sick of tons of people doing nothing other than requesting stuff. Build your own FU $#in kernel, dual boot your comp, learn linux, get the source, modify it, pour over Git for hundreds of hours (hundreds! ) then field complaints over stupid 64gb cards you don't own yourself., flash Perseus, enjoy mine, or shut the Fu@$ up.
Rant over
Repeat this in my other thread. Geez people12Was bored, so updated this to MA5. Had a feeling/read this was either official, or we won't have many leaks for a bit.(i'll be proven wrong in 17 days i'm sure) Couldn't get the download mode to work with my Extended Reboot Mod, but Recovery and Reboot work fine so I'm rolling with it.11
Just got home, will start a mirror now. will be a while.
And I gotta say, cus it's been buggin me(and a few others) a bit.
I (We/Team Venum) will do the best it can to get mirrors and such up in a timely fashion, but please understand in the meantime that we have lives, and put alot into this to get complaints about speeds. Not only do we spend countless hours making something for free, but what most don't know is I/we pay to get you guys a dedicated server for our stuff. I pay every month for access to a reliable, clean server, and have never once made my money back through donations - never once. Think about that. I pay out of my own pocket to make stuff to give away, knowing I'll never make it back. Not trying to *****, just trying to put it in perspective when I read posts about DL speeds. I'm paying money to give something for free, that I spend tons of time on, and then get complaints on how fast it gets there. makes one wonder why I/we do it right? Rant over
that being said, the damn mirror is upcoming lol
Edit: Actually I did once, now that I think about it, Thank you Brian and Avatar deserve a shout out
