Adding a mods section, any other (realistic) mods you guys would want?

Digging this rom man, very nice. You plan on theming anything else? I like the transparent n blue black, would be sweet to see in Gmail n market, maybe calendar to. Maybe some status bar tweaks/options? Also a way to edit multi window meaning add whatever app we would like to. Once again very nice and thanks. One last thing to look into, when changing dpi to 250 dialer and alarm (haven't tested yet) gets thrown off. Anyway to implement these changes to accept 260/250 dpi?

On calendar when hitting menu key to pull up settings you have white background on white lettering making it hard to see

That small am on zip failed when flashing using twrp

Statusbar icons on reboot don't appear, cLock it's all messed up. After a few mins sometimes they come back in but sketchy

Should Se be permissive/enabled under settings phone?

I don't support other themes except for stock dpi. Team Blackout websites will provide you with all the Google apps, any way you want.

Will fix

Use philz recovery

See OP for known bugs

Yes I'll look into this.

I'd like to see some Note 3 features, especially the weather widget! I love that new animated widget :)
I most likely won't support any Note 3 features, mainly because this is a Note II. We do not have the hardware that the Note 3 has, and I go all or nothing. Plus I don't want one of those roms where you have to flash this to get this working then open terminal and type this while jumping up and down while patting your belly while spinning in a circle.


P.S. random comment my dogs name is Sabre.

Damn, didn't see the philz recovery thing on the first page lol, should I flash from scratch again using philz?

Also, when using personal message vs clock on lockscreen, the personal message doesn't display correctly, it leaves out the date and if a alarm is set, I like how to clock re-centers itself. Is this suppose to happen?

I used twrp and it works great for me. You should install the beats audio apk on it to help the sound manager

Battery life seems ok, seems to be going down rather quickly then I am use to seeing. Sync is turn off, no auto brightness, have good signal where I am at, all the battery tweaks that I know I am using. The only thing I can think of, which I am going to test today and tomorrow, is "Using Motion" and "S Voice Commands". I did flash the newest Agni kernel, have used his battery savings settings, zzmove-bat save w/ SIO gov, UV 50mv, stock gpu freq with UV 25mv, touch boost is enable (600 - optimal setting he provdies), Max/Min 1400/200, it is entering deep sleep (looking at CPU spy and better battery stats), but overall very smooth rom, no problems really. Maybe needs a full day or so to run to tweak itself out. After a full discharge I will turn off Motions and S Voice to do a battery compassion.

Make sure media and Google+ aren't draining your battery. I've got almost 2 days battery out of this and BloodBean, so something has to be killing your battery.

I actually added the philz recovery part, only because that is what I use to flash and restore. Never had a single problem with flashing/backing up with philz. As far as the lockscreen is concerned I removed the date and am/pm to give it a more AOSP look, I can see if I can get the date back on but I might just make a flashable back-to-stock for that.

After about 12 hours up-time @ 58% Battery Life, screen is the majority at 67% then android system 5%, cell standby 4%, media saver 3%. Screen on time is 2hrs 10mins. Have brightness on lowest setting, screen mode is adapt display, auto rotate off, touch keys are 1.5s, auto adjust screen tone is checked as well. We'll see maybe just needs to settle in a bit, seems idle drain has gone down a little bit, (looking at the graph its leveling out a little bit instead off going down).

Thats fine, I was just wondering, I actually just left it as "Clock" instead of Personal Message. Haven't switched recovery, is it as simple as flashing it as a zip file (as you can do with twrp and cwm?) I know his thread is right there, but was just wondering, I have monitored it for awhile, and my biggest concerns were seeing people saying backing up were eating space away or trying to use multiple gigs of space

Nope you just toggle on hot spot in settings and you are ready to go.

I honestly don't use hotspot as I have wifi at home and at work. I would though, nothing can go wrong having a more secure network.

Added a link to philz recovery. It is flashable via recovery, just flash and reboot recovery. The backups are large but the recovery is awesome. You'll see when you try it. Make sure you toggle support for selinux

Just did a fresh install with Philz recovery, still having the statusbar not displaying anything after a reboot. I only see the data monitor the rest is not there.My quick fix for this is to plug in into the charger then unplug and it appears, weird...

Yea, just saw the Small Am/Pm was a bad download to my phone, it now worked, still using TWRP, thanks. Guess I should have checked, it was good on my computer but a bad transfer to my phone, weird. O well, all is good.

I click on the selinux but it would prompt me to change it, I'm thinking Agni kernel does not support this possibly? (using his latest 1/29/14)

Another question, if you were to de-bloat this more (maybe I removed more apps then I should have) but have not run into anything not working nor popping up saying somethihg.process.force.closes. What all apps can also be removed.

I have removed all allcast.apk's, nfc apk, hangouts, calculator, browser/pop browser, music player (blue and purple one with all associated apps), allshare, email app, and so forth. Im still curious on how much more can be removed, I think I am down to a total of 217 (when wipe cache/dalvik show total number) but 68 are mine from installed so that leaves 149, I know CM is completely diff and its 4.4.2 but with 72 apps installed I am around a total of 150-160, but looking thro some apks, I see the fonts are separate and a lot of permission aps are in there. Just more curious then none, but once again thanks for your work and support, its nice to know you are behind us and willing to go a extra step or two past just making the rom because that is huge in the first place.

4 small comments : the alarm clock icon in statusbar is red (left from your blood bean maybe), the owner info you can display lockdown is red also, just curious if that's meant to be. I like the data speed indicator, growing on me but any way to toggle on/off, gravity box doesn't work for that. Lastly, WiFi scan interval, I didn't see it in build prompt, anyway to change scan interval to say 240 to help attery, seems like it scans every 15s which is default I believe. Also didn't see pm power mode or pm power disable collapse in the prompt either, just wondering. Thanks once again

Whats the point of removing all the apps? It's pointless.

I don't us those apps and use supplements. Nfc isn't a thing I use. I use mxplayer for my videos and Google music n Pandora for music. Don't have galaxy gear. No hangouts use go sms, and only have a gmail account

Or you mean more like, what am I getting/gaining by removing these? Nothing really I guess, just cleaning up the apps that aren't used/memory/resources, to maybe help with overall system performance? Or Am I looking at this all wrong? More curiosity then none. I did see a comment or two about removing allcast to help with gallery stutters.
