[Q] Stock based rom vs. ProBam 4.4.1 - issues and questions - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, in the past days I flashed ProBam 4.4.1 to my Note 2, I was used to CM builds from my i9000 in past years but I cannot seem to find my way around it any more... I have a few issues that I need to know how to fix.
1. Led notifications: I need to set them like the stock android, I found the settings for the led notifications but I cannot seem to set them as it used to be(ex: Facebook message - green, Facebook notificaiton - blue, Messages&Calls - blue, ChatON - white... etc). The duration of the led is the second problem in the stock based rom it used to notify me until the notifications were erased.
2. Alarm ringtone: I cannot find a proper way to set the ringtone for my alarms, the only way I managed to do this is if set a melody as a ringtone and after that to set it. I want to know how to set it so I don't have to change the ringtone everytime
3. Input type suggestions & auto correct: I disabled the spelling suggestions from input settings but it still works, when I type messages some words are changed on space.
4. Speaker config: I need a way to put back the original sound script for the phone. The one from the rom distorts the sound a little bit
5. Samsung music player & camera : I want to know how can I install these apps and if it can be installed on the rom
In conclusion I find the rom to be very good but there are these issues that I need to fix.
Also can the hybrid controls be installed/adapted for a samsung based rom(I used Android Revolution HD before ProBam)?
PS: The S-Pen notification is not working for me in ProBam is there somewhere I need to enable it? I didn't found any particular settings

Why don't you try Alliance ROM for the mean time while ProBam's bugs are not yet fixed? It's tw based but feels/looks like AOSP ROM.

I want to use ProBam because of it's hybrid properties, the only thing I can say that I truly hate about the stock rom is the icon size. Dose Alliance ROM have the option to change the DPI and layout settings?

From what I know no, but you can find a lot of ways to change DPI in the forum. Plus, Alliance ROM has pretty good customization features. Check their thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2134867
and you could try Nova Launcher after flashing Alliance ROM since you have issues with icon size.

I have tried Asylum CM10.1 it has Nova as a default launcher but I don't find it to handy(for me at least). I checked the Alliance ROM thread and I saw that their rom has a different flash method( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37631580&postcount=3 ) can I flash this via recovery? or only with that app? I will try the ROM today but I will be more pleased if someone can help me with the probam issues.

Probam errors
hey ive flashed the rom recently, and have kept my kernel stock.
i'm having 2 problems precisely
1. Android keyboard dosnt work keeps giving error.
2. Bluetooth signals seem to be very weak. have to keep the phone next to the head unit for it to work in the car.
And i need to know what is the recommended kernel for this rom? and modem needs update?

Please help to select a Custom ROM for my needs

Hi all,
my first post is nothing but questions, sorry for that.
I'm using a Vodafone (German) N7105 with stock ROM, rooted and CWM recovery
Android 4.1.2, N7105BUDLL4, 3.0.31-679347
I'm quite happy with this ROM but I'm missing some details. Therefore I'm thinking about a custom ROM.
So far I could find the common roms with all their features but finally I'm not sure which one I should take for my requirements:
- Multi Window with all apps
- Customizable top bar icon colors (LTE, antenna bar, battery etc.)
- Better EQ/sound (if not possible I can stay with Neutron)
- More detailed settings
- If possible, keep Samsung Touchwiz (nothing to complain)
- Keep MHL/HDMI output
- Fast and reliable build, no unstable daily release
- No carrier bloatware if possible
- Full Google sync has to work properly
Is there any specific you can recommend for my needs?
Thanks for your help.
Nils
@metoo3
Hey metoo3. From your post it looks like it has to be Samsung based ROM. Check out Omega or for example Android Revolution. I tried them and both are fine. But almost always you will miss some features, just to need decide whats most important for you.
If your using n7105 do not flash anything that is not for n7105 or you will lose ability to make calls. There are only a few custom roms in the n7105 section both deadmans and hashchecks have just about everything you want

Installing SlimBean.

Hello All,
I am new to the SGN2 forum. I earlier had SGR.
Its been a fortnight that I have my SGN2 (n7100) with me now.
After trying so many roms on my SGR and feeling how awesome they are (sad SGR got stolen a month back) , I cannot see my SGN2 lying on the stock rom. I have started to hate the UI already
I need a non-Touchwiz rom that supports spen and makes me love the phone again.
I tried to read the SlimRom build 6 thread, but i dont know what all files are to be flashed. I got confused.
Can someone help me Install the slim rom? Plus does it support S-Pen? (If spen is not supported, any other non touchwiz Rom which supports spen?[/b[)
I am running the Indian DDDLK6 Stock Rom.

Hi,
As far as I know, Slim Bean does not support S-Pen.
Every TouchWiz based ROMs are S-Pen compatible though.
Where are you having trouble installing?

The gapps and other addons for build 6 slim rom. Which ones to download.?
I just want a non touch whiz rom.
@DeepankarS:
Just use the weekly 6.2 for n7100 and take the aio aroma 6.x.
Flash the main rom and then the aio. in the aroma installer u can choose exactly wich gapps / additional apps u want. Really user friendly and a unique feature in all Slimroms.
With SlimBean u can't go wrong IMO.
The features are overwhelming in a good way and the built in Kernel by Mnazim is a Masterpiece.
I tried for the last 5 monts nearly every AOSP rom and ATM SlimBean is for me the best in performance and battery. I can get around 2-3 days standby with up to 7 hours screen on. So in my usage nearly the same as a Touchwiz rom.
Happy flashing

I think you should be certain about what you say next time. Spen is supported by almost every non touchwiz Rom. It works perfectly along with pressure sensitivity of the tip and the hover icon which can be enabled under settings. The only thing that is not supported by non touchwiz roms are the Samsung applications such as snote and any other Samsung proprietary software that works with the Spen.
To the Op:
Flash the ROM first, restart the device then go back to recovery and flash the Aroma Installer. And you're good from there. If you would like to get rid of the slim rom icon on the unlock screen you should find the stock one in their theme section.

S5 Apps on N7105 CM Based Rom

Hi All,
I absolutely love the s5 feel (when I wrongly flashed DN3 rom for n7100 to my n7105). Just wondering if I can flash those apps on a CM based rom. I dont need additional features like spen apps. I just want the notification bar, notification drawer, messaging, launcher, contacts and phone apps. Thanks for the response.

No. Best you can do is use the inbuilt theme function and load a S5 or touchwiz theme.

Mind pointing me to where I can find these themes? Im using CM Burst Kernel Kang, BTW, not the official CM11. +Thanks!
you'd probably be best off going back to touchwiz for features and the look! touchwiz themes for aosp don't quite cut it

By the way, what happened when you flashed N7100 rom on your N7105?

It booted, and appeared working fine. I only noticed it was the wrong rom when I tried to send a text message, then found in my settings that the device name is N7100 and I have no baseband. I didnt get to test it thoroughly though coz I flashed back right away since I really needed to send a text message.

[Q] Does CM11 worth it or should I stick to TW (what about Dual ROMs)

Hi there,
I am using hybrid TW Rom called DN3 v5.5 and so far I am happy with it.
I only used 3 ROMs [Stock, Android Revolution HD, and DN3v5.5] since I’ve bought my note 2 when it first came out
DN3 has some issues with music and other miner bugs and I want to switch to a new and fresh interface and I think CM is the best choice for me
So my question is this:
1. Should I install the latest CM (and once DN3 update their ROM go back to using it again)
2. is Dual boot will do me any good ?? Because I’ve seen a thread saying that you can install dual Roms BUT one of them should be Stock 4.3 and not 4.4+ and the other is AOSP 4.4+
Please I need your advice friends and I would really appreciate your help

It is really a matter of your choice. If you like CM, definitely go for it.
Dual boot is certainly possible. My guess is devil kernel allows two partitions --primary and secondary to install two rom both Sammy and aosp roms. But it is fairly complicated process. Also your device will slow down considerably after some time.
So again choice is yours.
