Installed by mistake - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

I just installed Sophisticated Rom v3.1 and saw in the add-ons a thing called "1% battery mod systemUI flashable". I installed it and have found out I don't like it. Is there an easy way to get rid of it without a factory reset and reinstall, I was thinking maybe extracting the systemUI out of the Sophisticated Rom package and installing as a apk but i assumed the 1% battery mod would be an addition to the systemUI so didn't know if it would overwrite the entire file. I am obviously an amateur and was looking for a little guidance.
thanx

Try a dirty flash of the rom....

i gave that a shot first thing. I'm going go ahead and factory reset this evening.

You've probably already sorted it out but..... To restore the original battery display, flash the stock systemUI. This will also revert your toggles back to stock green though. The stock systemUI is in the addons post#2

Theme Troubles!!!!

Hi all, i'm using Froydvillian, and have applied both the Samsung Galaxy and Mininmal Matt ports which have been ported over for this specific ROM, and for some reason, on both, the drop down notification menu and the taskbar at the top are staying standard.
Both work when i wipe the device from recovery then flash, but once i restart the phone the problem occurs again!!!! why is this happening!! please reply asap as i'm going on holiday in 3 days and wish for this to be resolved.
Thanks in advance,

Not sure what you mean here. Did you flash one theme over another? Also, to undo themes, a wipe isn't enough. You need to fully reflash the stock ROM to get rid of themes.
Also, after installing a theme, don't install another over it unless you fully reflash the ROM again.
Thanks for the quick reply what i mean is, i flashed The latest Froydvillian ROM, and have been using it for a few days. However, when i downloaded and flashed the Samsung Galaxy theme for it, certain aspects of the theme didn't work, such as the notification pull down menu, and the taskbar at the top. They both stayed standard with the later text or symbols, but the colours and design was not the them.
I found out if i boot into recovery and wipe all settings, then flash the theme it works correctly, however if i reboot the phone it reverts back to the mismatched and ugly theme!
I have encountered this problem many times *zeik* it's so stupid! Anyways for my themes it worked for me to modify the update-script so it deletes the files before copying (since you probably have no idea what i'm talking about copy/paste it and PM the developer xD). I am very bussy right now so I can't do it but I'm sure the themer will do it for you (it's a very simple task)

[ROM RELEASE] Zinc V2.1.3 Fascinate Rom (A Deodexed Elements Series Release)

This rom is what I am calling a "zip rom" (non AOSP) Rom with some AOSP Apps. Once again this rom is not a built from source rom (AOSP), it was built from a ota.zip, (hence the phrase "ZIP ROM"). Most TouchWiz applications have been removed, except the ones kept in order to keep the Rom stable. Apk files have been deodexed, optipng, zipaligned and some apps are built from source. Shutdown animation was changed and a few ringtones were added.
Apps removed:
A lot!*
Apps were placed in /sdcard/extras/ folder:
puzzle_lock.apk
PowerAMP_1.0_build_68.apk Highly recommended application.
Thanks to all for the following below:
JT1134 for providing a solid base to work from (Clean D101 Base)
Gallery3d AOSP*
Launcher Pro Plus- Federico-http://www.launcherpro.com/
Superuser - Chainsdd
2.1 lockscreen - Wasupwithuman
file manager-Cyanogen
Ported Blackmod theme BY: Stanrc http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/7735-mm-theme-blackmod-for-fascinate/*(for themed version)
And everyone else that made it possible.
***Version 2.1.2 Change log***
Changed Rom naming convention so it fits the Android OS version. (preparing for Froyo)
Updated boot sound.
Added back default live wallpaper (ocean)
removed some /sdcard/extras
changed to the default mms.apk (for text messaging)
removed quadrant (get it from the market)
Boot animation is loaded when using a custom kernel. (Recommend JT1134 or Birdman's latest kernels!) Go to kernel section to get them.
A few more optimizations with the apps apk structure. (deodexed, zipaligned, optipng and what not) saving a little more space..
Version 2.1.3 Change log

Wipe data and Cache is strongly recommended.**If you receive any errors please do not post them without specifying what Rom or kernel you previously had loaded. If you DID wipe data and cache please tell us so we know you did. This will help give all of us a better idea of what we are working with.
THE BIG RED DISCLAIMER
I highly recommend NOT using Voodoo kernels with this Rom. I would even go as far as saying if you are using one, odin the phone with a stock kernel or use JT or Birdmans kernels. (I have heard to many complaints with the voodoo kernel. I am not saying the kernel is bad it, I am just telling you has been tested and what works.)

Works great so far. I wiped data and cache coming from voodoo over the stock rom with smoked glass theme. The market won't download anything. I cleared the cache but that didn't work.

We actually just finish having this discussion on the IRC channel #samsung-fascinate , you should join if your not on there.
I am believing this to be a VOODOO issue since I had the same issue and a few others aswell. I recommend going to the post about completely disabling voodoo and following those step. Also i would go completely stock then upgrade to jt1134 non voodoo kernel then flash the rom on top. It worked for me and runs really fast and stable after i did that.
It is a lot of work, but the voodoo disclaimer was posted on the first version. =(
Hope this helps...I will make sure we get the disclaimer back on this page!
are there any non voodoo overclocked kernals?
I really want to sink my teeth into this rom, but whenever I flash it I get constant fc of acore. I have flashed from stock, and from superclean rom, no voodoo. I have wiped data and cashe, and it is fine until I restore data. This is the rom I'm most eager to use, yet there is something that makes acore fc like mad.
Installed the rom last night with jt newest kernel and loving it..only problem is the soft key light doesn't turn on unless I push a button first.. Is this normal I don't remember lol...

I had the same issue the other night when loading this ROM. Have you by chance installed the Blacklight Notification Mod or the extended backlight mod? That is what gave me issues of repeat FC hell. To reverse the issue, I just flashed a new kernel (jt1134 non-voodoo) through Odin and flashed this ROm through rom manager. There is also a FC recovery sticky on the AndroidCentral.com fascinate section. I've been running smooth for a couple of days now.

What kernel are you running?
This ROM is running absolutely perfect for me.
I removed Voodoo before installation with the Voodoo uninstall .zip applied thorough CWM.
Then I reloaded my original "stock" recovery image in CWM, wiped data and cache, then booted to OS and flashed this Zinc ROM via ROM Manager.
Since I've installed this ROM, I've also flashed on the extended soft key backlight mod and JT's non-Voodoo kernel. Both through ROM Manager.
Working better then ever, even without Voodoo.
Only gripe is, the stock Memo apk was removed. Now I just have to sideload it
[tapatalk on android]
Since installing I can not download from the market. All downloads are not successful. They don't just sit there pending. They say download was unsuccessful.

I'm now running this ROM with that kernel with no problems. I took my phone back to stock-wiped/out of the box, and brought it back to this ROM and have now not had any problems with it. Running great....

[Q] Problem after applying theme -resolved sorta

As much as I loath asking questions I feel I need to ask one. You don't learn anything having all the answers givin' to you.
Well I have been working with a stock Optimus P509TN the Wi-Fi update one, I have switched Kernals, I have Deodexed it and applied the Dalvick to ram. All works well it seems. But then I install a Gingerbread theme as i much prefer the darker color, using ADB, However on restart i am immediately greeted with the lock screen and a lot of force close. I wipe the data partition and restart and it hangs and i have to restore the nand back up from before applying the theme.
Can anybody explain what happened between point a and point b that I missed, did i forget something when i deodexed, is the theme perhaps not compatible, maybe i should find a theme that is flashable with clockwork?'
edit-used the rom kitchen to edit joemomrom to be flashable in clockwork, made many tweaks for stability but the rom was already almost like i wanted it anyway. Moot point now, but I believe that it was the stock launcher causing it to keep looping at the second boot animation.

[Q] Baseband Unknown/IMEI etc dissapears after reboot.

Hi,
Whenever i turn my phone off and back on again it fails to recognise my baseband or IMEI. I have seen other threads on this forum relating to this but not specifically after a reboot.
If the phone stays on there seems to be no problem and when I rebooted in my flat last night (where I have strongish signal) it doesn't seem to be a problem (though i would need to check this again).
So far my fixes is, and this works everytime:
- Reboot recovery,
- Flash rom/kernel (cmexperimental)
- wipe dalvik
- wipe cache
- reboot.
This is not really feasible long term as it is a battery drain and not how a phone should be! I do have a EFS backup apparently though i did not do this back up intentionally. It is dated the 18th September of this year, i've heard Siyah back ups efs automatically so worse case i should have that there but i know that it's not ideal to mess around with EFS.
Can anybody help me? I can supply further information.
This problem started earlier this week after i flashed PA 2.54 and then restored a nandroid back up of the changmin rom.
I would really appreciate any help. if i've missed anything out i apologise.
Thanks
I have a similar problem and Apparantly you need to restore a backed up efs to fix it there is this app it hasnt worked for me though.

Im using neat rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1569686) and I flashed an aroma mod to add more options to it, I then rebooted and I had no signal, imei no anything and this message kept appearing (see pic)
The way I fixed it was to just reflash the rom and it removed the aroma mods, I decided today to just keep the standard rom with no mods and its looking good as ive rebooted 4 times so far and nothings happen except on one reboot i lost 62% wtf. The dev of the rom (salesale) pm'd me and explained how to fix it by editing your efs backup and then placing it back and using command lines to replace the old one, this didnt work for me though.

yeh i'm going to try factory reset and a fresh rom install to see if that fixes the problem. nice to hear there is hope and all the time it is working it's not so bad! just have to cut down on the amount of flashing i do!!
Is that neat rom ICS or JB? i really don't want to go back from JB to ICS!
Jelly bean of course its nice and stable, and you can't hide it, if your a flashaholic your gonna flash wow wtf your post was apparantly sent from 01/01/1970
Ok I've done a clean install of neat rom and installed the aroma mods. This has once again deleted all of the IMEI and other data like that, after lots of googling and using the repy from neat roms developer (salesale) I managed to do the steps he posted I also found this forum which outlines the steps of what to do, you will need to do the command lines in recovery, to unmount the efs so youll need this ( I think you should have this anyway as its great) I unfortunately couldn't do this as I get stuck on the last command line with: tar: invalid tar magic I have retreated back to just standard neat rom which for some reason unknown to me will not delete my IMEI but will do so upon the next reboot with aroma mods flashed WTF .

[ROM|ROOT|Stockish|NO KNOX|No ItsOn] 9/5/15 TouchWiz Lollipop 5.1.1 (N915PVPU4COG1)

Here's a Stockish ROM for your N915P. This ROM has Knox, Sprint ItsOn, and secure storage removed. Nothing else was done to this ROM. I'm new to the Note Edge so I may upload patches to remove any other traces of Knox or ItsOn or optimizations I happen to find while making my own ROM.

[size=+3]DeOdex note:[/size]
The first boot time for this DeOdex ROM is very long. Approximately 5-8 minutes. Your phone will get hot as the splash screen remains on the yellow Sprint boot animation. I recommend keeping your phone in a cool environment while this is happening. The heat, if not properly checked, can make boot times even longer as the system throttles speed in order to deal with the heat. This doesn't happen on the Odex version.
[size=+3]Install instructions:[/size]
-Are you currently on the OC8 bootloader and would like to stay on it?
--Simply flash the baseband with Odin, and the ROM.
-Are you on the update from OTA or flashed the OG1 TAR?
--Flash kernel only.
-Are you one of the unlucky ones to take the OTA and hose your system trying to root and are now on another ROM?
--Flash ROM only.
-Are you on any build after OC8 but not the current OG1?
--Flash the baseband and ROM. Bootloader is optional and not available in this thread as of yet.
Wiping is only necessary if you are coming from a different base, such as AOSP/CM. If you are coming from a touchwiz ROM, wiping isn't needed, but won't hurt.

Thanks, will flash tomorrow.
Thank you so much freeza!! Patiently waiting for the deodexed version and for the baseband.
Added modified stock kernel v1.1 and baseband.
Freeza if I'm on 5.0.1 still just flashing the baseband may give me better service ? Technically...
Downloading now still waiting on the deodex will play with the stock to see how it is thanks
Ok, flashed rom, kernel, and modem. Took a while to boot but all is running well at the moment. Thanks for supporting our device!!
DeOdex uploading....
What What!!! By far the best developer on a Samsung!! Thank you so much for your hard work brother!! Real Talk, i still have your rom on my Note 3! It runs flawlessly!! XD
Get your DeOdex on, guys! ;D
Thanks so much for this!!! I love the separate edge screen and have no reason to "upgrade" to the Note 5
Thank you freeza NICE WORK WITH THE KERNEL
When I saw you had been requested to come help this phone achieve root I knew great things were going to come to those who waited. I've had other devices where you were there to help gain root and again you came through. I purposely didn't take the OG1 update because I knew in time this device wasn't going to be ignored. IMO it is the best NOTE device out there and it will be mine until they make a NOTE EDGE 2 (With SD card and removable battery). Thank you for the quick response and the hard work you do to make this happen.
Cant get either one of them to boot. Both the odex and the deodex wont boot, they both flash fine and then after the phone reboots it stays on the yellow sprint screen Maybe for up to a minute then reboots and it cycles that way. Never boots. I've tried not wiping/Factory restarting as well as wiping/Factory resetting. Have also tried formatting through TWRP to no avail. Have also tried flashing the kernel and wiping caches after flashing but Nothing is working. Have also flashed the baseband.
Im currently on OF6 if that should matter.
Edit: md5 Sums have also match up. Have downloaded both from my phone and a pc to no avail.
Edit 2: tried both TWRP 2.8.6.0 and 2.8.7.0. Also tried clockworkmod recovery and that didn't work either.
I had success but it took some time. I downloaded the deodexed debloated rom, the kernel, and the baseband. I had a method to how I wanted to do this and here is how i got there.
I was running OC8 rom rooted.
1. I odened the baseband tar file and rebooted. But unfortunately it bootlooped on the initial splash screen (note edge) so
2. I ran TWRP recovery and installed the kernel file. Rebooted phone and it ran fine. I looked at the settings about phone and saw that the baseband and the rom all said OG1 but i had not installed the rom yet. So i figure it was a trick to get the baseband to install. So
3. I went back into recovery. Wiped dalvik cache and regular cache and installed the new rom. It installed fine and i waited the length of time for the initial boot up. But this time as it was "Android is starting" it rebooted and got stuck on the sprint splash screen and kept randomally vibrating. Having the ability to remove the battery
4. Rebooted back into recovery, wiped everything including internal storage, and reinstalled the deodexed rom. It installed fine and went to the initial startup screen where it tries to initialize and it rebooted one time, back to the initialize screen but continued without a hitch.
I currently am running OG1 5.1.1. With root.
At times during setting up the phone it would randomally vibrate for no reason...short bursts...but it hasn't yet again rebooted, restarted, or crashed. It is faster from what i see. Probably because there are almost no google apps installed. I've had to install chrome, youtube, and maps. But all seems fine. My signal and speeds are the same so the baseband didn't do much to change that. But so far so good.
---------- Post added at 11:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:27 AM ----------
I did try to install over my odexed OC8 with this new rom but because there is so much different about the files that are installed IMO formatting the phone was the only way to get this to work.
---------- Post added at 12:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:30 AM ----------
One final thing just in case it isn't known: when you wipe everything in TWRP, excluding external storage, you have to restart the recovery before trying to install a rom. It will say you have no OS installed, but you are restarting the recovery not booting a rom, so that's fine, but you do lose root status when wiping. So the next screen gives you the ability to gain root again, but you have to restart TWRP to do that. In the past i tried to figure out why installing after wiping didn't work, and 99% of the time it was because of that. I also don't like installing new roms over older roms (even if they are the same base (touchwiz to touchwiz)) because i feel I would spend more time troubleshooting why something isn't working instead of just starting over. I find less hassle doing it this way.
I odin baseband .tar file, than reboot it to recovery, and flash kernal and odex room at the same time, saw some red messages when kernel was flashing, than odex rom was next but it was successful when it was done. (I did not know if kernel falsh ok so i reflash kernel again) reboot to system and after the android system updated all its ok. No problems so far.
Oh and i inclided the supersu at the same time i flash kernel, odex rom and supersu.
1. Odin baseband tar file.
2. Flash kernel, odex rom and supersu.
3. Re-flash kernel.
4. Reboot to system and profit.
(Maybe i did un necessary steps, but its working. )
Was running great but have been experiencing Google account and store issues. Tried odex and deodex versions with similar results. Anyone else having issues?

Just starting to have random freezing. And not able to select my apps froms the edge screen, i can only scroll through it. Will remove all the app shorcuts and re-add tham again.
**update 1.
I removed all shorcuts from the edge screen and added them back, all work but some i have to select them a few times before they open.
Maybe i have to reflash, reset, clean and wipe.
**update 2.
Clean install of odex rom, and kernal 1.1.
No more lagg but the edge screen does not work properly. Not able to select and open some of the favorite app shorcuts.
**update 3.
Factory reset, cleaned and wype, odin sprint lollipop update (uf something), downloaded OG1 update. Installed all apps from scratch. And the edge screen does not work. I can scroll, side to side, up and down, but when i select an app it does not open it.
** update (last one)
Foud the code to test the phone hardware.
*#0*# on dial screen. Tested all and it came out good. But i notice that some how the edge screen its not as whide as it used to be ( like its more to the right of the phone) so where i use to touch to select an app its now more to the right emd of the edge, thats why i was able to scroll but not select the app.
Its all good now. Now second round of flashing.
Will give it another try at the room.
Thanks Freeza and sorry about the problems i had and hopefully did not cause anyone from not trying this great work pr yours.
I left all the problems i had so tje next person trying this room does not get discureged from trying. But allways fallow direction.
:thumbup:
** last update
After setting and resetting, flashing and un-flashing, rooting and un-rooting. I can finally wrote that all is good. Running latest lollipop 5.1.1 and freeza's new 1.1 kernel, I can reprt that all is smooth as butter.
Thanks for the hard work.
Thank you so much for your hard work Freeza! So glad I'm finally running 5.1.1 on this beast :]
The ROM is working pretty well, but I have noticed that every now and then, the phone will be rather laggy. Turning the screen off and on again seems to fix the issue, making me think that the processor is being throttled while the screen is off (good) but isn't being sped back up when the screen is turned on..sometimes.
It's not a huge deal, but I was wondering if anyone was experiencing the same thing.
No issues here.
Starting on OG1 had to flash bootloader, kernel, deodex rom and supersu to make it stick. Two days now and battery, signal and speed seem improved.
Thanks freeza!
