[Q] Noob Question Sorry... - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

I feel like such a noob I can't resolve this and I've been using android for a while. But I just started doing this when wake my phone with the home key button it automatically opens up to my recent apps menu. It's annoying I have Nova Launcher, Widget locker and running Jedi. Any ideas how I can make this home key go back to just waking my phone instead of recent apps. Also I checked nova launcher and widget locker to see what they are telling the home key to do and neither of them are telling the key to do this...

U might need a reflash

I've pretty sure I've seen some people talking about that issue as a bug of sorts after the new 4.1.2 update.
I haven't updated yet but I've been keeping up with the threads. ...

Someone mentioned it in the"issues with the new ota update" thread ... and I could swear I had seen it in another thread too. Not a lot of people, but I know I saw it.
Don't remember if anyone had a fix for it since I don't have the problem here with my un updated phone. ...
I'm all worried about the few people who report Battery drain after updating. I'm a wimp when it comes to change. ...

editing touchwiz lock screen

is there a way to edit it? This must have been asked a million times, but i don't mean with widget locker or lockbot or something like that. I find the clock tacky, since the notification bar is right there and i want to remove it. i'd imagine it would require rooting. thanks
yes
yes requires rooting because you would have to modify a theme zip like a stock theme then modify the .PNG then flash ....atleast thats the only way i know about it
You need to be rooted and running a deodexed rom. You then would have to do some xml edits to remove the clock

ok thanks guys. while i've rooted before, my epic still has the new phone smell and i'm still babying it. but could you help with this? is there a locking app that either:
1. overwrites that xml file or w.e. so that it is not active at the same time. (so they aren't fighting for domination?)
2. keeps the functionality of being able to swipe to missed texts, calls, e.t.c.
thanks.

There's different apps in the market that changes the lock screen. You might want to start looking into those

Can you point me in the direction where I can find a different lock screen zip for the epic thats not the TW one or the AOSP one?

Those two are pretty much it as far as lockscreens that work on the epic. You can get the rotary lockscreen if you use the cm6 beta, which I have found to be quite stable. Other than that you are going to need an app rather than a flashable zip.

I would recommend GOTO. Its in the market. Its a paid app, but as you unlock you can choose between messages, phone and gmail. You can change which apps it opens if you don't use the stock programs. I have been using it for a month or so. Just make sure you run through the setup twice to make sure the settings are set correctly. Initial setup is kind of tricky i though. Just my 2 cents. Hope it helps.

[Q] Touchwiz feature missing

someone I know HS a Tmobile GSII and the home screens loop so you don't just hit the end and have to scroll back. Why doesn't the ET4G touchwiz do this? How can we enable this? I know I can use another launcher but I trying to use the phone with TW.

For some reason T-Mo got this feature and we didn't. I thought we were going to see it in the update but we didn't.
yeah I am trying to stick with touch wiz to test if go launcher was really a battery drain so I guess I'll just deal with this

Any have Apex working with JB?

Trying to figure out if this is just me or all with JB.
Apex crashes at start with 4.1 for me. Any gotten it to work. Maybe I'm missing something somewhere.

Crashing on my Nexus 4.1, too.
I guess You have to wait. But why would you replace that awesome new Homescreen?
Maybe it has something to do with the new Google searchbar..
yea crashing here also. using nova for the time being. the homescreen for the default launcher is nice but i need my gestures

Nova Prime (premium features key) supports Gestures.
NovaLauncher already updated to a newer beta to fix issues and enchancements in JB.
Apex has always treated me right. I can get by with this one for a little while.

Considering JB hasn't been "Officially" released yet I don't see this as an issue. There are still apps that don't work with ICS.

[Q&A][FAQ][Support][Discussion] CSROM and Graviton

CSROM & Graviton Support and Discussion Thread
This thread was created in response to a new xda initiative to reduce non-development related posts on development threads.
An added benefit of a thread here is that users with under 10 posts can get some help (and won't have to PM me).
I will maintain just one thread (hopefully this works) for both ROMs and all carriers to help preserve my sanity.
Please be sure to specify which ROM you are using and the carrier.
Below are some examples of common types of posts and where they belong
Q&A and FAQ Thread:
"What kernel gives the best battery life with this ROM?"
"Is Nova launcher compatible with this ROM?"
"The battery life for this ROM is off the chizarts!"
"The battery life for this ROM is total crap!"
"I just flashed this ROM and my GPS doesn't work. :crying:"
Development Thread:
"The new cellular data toggle isn't working (confirmed by another user)?"
"I keep getting FC's from SystemUI. Any thoughts?"
"I selected the green battery icons in Aroma but it installed the blues ones (I checked twice)."
"I just flashed this ROM and it bricked my device! "
"The battery life for this ROM is off the chizarts!
(see attached screenshots from Better Battery Stats)."
"The battery life for this ROM is total crap!
(see attached screenshots from Better Battery Stats)."
**********************************************
There are exceptions to the examples above. If you are using a port and your GPS doesn't work I need to know that.
It will probably take some time for threads like this to evolve, so I am definitely open to feedback.
**********************************************​

Hey guys,
ATT CSROM v1.4 GS3 - Love the ROM so far, once I got a lot of my apps and data restored and a few issues with that worked out.
Kind of a newb to customs roms. This is the first one I have put on my GS3.
As far as I can tell I am using the CS launcher and would like to the change the wallpaper on my lock screen. However when I bring up the selection screen it only give me the option to use the stock wallpapers.
Can I just move an image to the stock location and have it appear? Or is there another option?

Yeah, it get's tough sometimes. That is why guys like you and the other people that test for me are a huge help. You guys make my life a lot easier by helping out on the threads.
It won't be long before I stop supporting the Atrix. I just don't have the time and I don't use the device anymore.
There is also a pretty good chance I will close up shop for my Sprint and T-Mobile ports for this device. There is not much interest for my ROMs in either forum. Probably not a bad thing since that will lighten my workload.

I am wondering if this thread would be better in the general section. That way it can be Q&A, FAQ, and general discussion. But, like I said in the OP, this is a new concept to we will have to see how it evolves.

If you want to use anything other than a stock wallpaper for the lockscreen you need to have the Samsung gallery installed. The AOSP gallery is not compatible with the lockscreen for pics, or other images on your device.

Thanks for the answer!
Can more than one galleries coexists? If so, do I just select another one gallery in the Aroma installer and deselect all other options?
Im still kinda fuzzy on the modify/upgrade process within the installer.
Re: [Q&A][FAQ] CSROM and Graviton
Yes they can Co exist. I can't remember how many there are in aroma but you can download as many as you want. I have three not including quickpic

Just a mention,
I installed Light Flow Lite yesterday and toyed around with it. Long story short it broke the AOSP lock screen. By broke I mean any time I would put my phone into sleep then wake it up and interact with any function of the lock screen it would become unresponsive and reboot (fast reboot I think).
I was finally able to get out of it by bringing the notification window down and getting into settings. Disabled the lock screen and the device was fine. Uninstalled Light Flow and wiped the data with TB, but the lock screen is still broken. Haven't tried the touchwiz lock screen for fear of it being broken too.
Aside from that the batt life is amazing and everything works wonderfully. Even got another gallery installed via Aroma and can change the lock screen wallpaper (not that im using a lock screen right now).
Judman
Based on what I have read on this apps web site it wasn't meant for an aosp rom. That sounds like a matter of app not being compatible with the rom so I would say not the roms fault.
Glad you were able to get things back to normal.

You are the second or third user that had this happen. I will add a warning to the OP.
If I remember correctly, Light Flow works fine with the stock lockscreen. But you might want to wait until someone that actually uses it chimes in.

Thanks, I couldnt really find anything else that mentioned having that kind of trouble, but it definitely makes sense. And I wasnt blaming it on the ROM, just saying it was a side effect.
Maybe the mention will keep someone else from breaking their lock screen.
Again, thanks for the great rom!!

[Q] Jedi X - ROM toolbox pro and statusbar icons - problem

So I was running Jedi XX ROM, great ROM btw. Upgraded the ROM toolbox that came with it to the pro version cause I like to burn nickles and dimes on Android apps. Anyway I decided to customize my statusbar icons, started off with new symbols for battery, wifi, signal, etc. Went fine until I updated my status bar color, then multiple service would stop working including superuser. Did the reboot as required and ended up constantly getting the notorious unfortunately, android keyboard has stopped error. tried to troubleshoot for a few minutes but decided I would just upgrade to the newer version of Jedi X, was going to upgrade this coming weekend anyhow. So installing the new ROM went fine, decided to try the statusbar change again and basically get the same issue although it has not effected my android keyboard (probably because I am using the stock samsung keyboard now) but it did however wipe out all my google accounts forcing me to re-enter them.
Anyone else have this issue, should I just abandon trying to modify the statusbar itself.
You can see what I am running from my sig. I tried to change a few icons and it cleared my accounts like you. I do not have the keyboard issue though. If you can't solve this problem, you can still play around with the boot animations if you have not already. Some are pretty funny.
