ParanoidAndroid 4.3 Questions - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

I'm posting this here because the PA4.3 thread has been closed and I don't want to clutter the 4.4 thread asking about an old rom.
I've been lurking for awhile. I have experience with rooting/flashing plenty on the Evo4g (including some AOSP). On my Note 2, I've stuck to TW roms on my Note 2. Im looking to hop into the AOSP world and I think this is the ROM I want to try (the kitkat version doesn't have features/stability from what I've read). However, I have a couple questions.
1) Of course I will nandroid my TW rom. If I decide I want to go back, is it as simple as restoring my backup? Or are there additional steps going from AOSP back to TW nandroid?
2) I see various versions/builds & kernels listed in this thread? Can someone please suggest a reliably stable build/kernel for me to start out with that has everything working?

Hey, I've been running paranoid 3.99 for a while and it has great battery life, even on stock rom, you can use plasma kernel with it or Devil kernel, your choice, flash the latest stable and you should be fine, also look for the SD card restore zip if you ever go back to TW you are going to need it, its buried in to the cm 10 thread just look for it, also make sure you get stweaks from play store and if you have issues send me a pm and I will be glad to help you, good luck!

Do I NEED an external sd for AOSP? And if I use a nandroid to restore, would I still need the SD card restore zip?

Let me know what file you need and I'll upload it to my dropbox, you don't need a SD card, just get the room zip in the root of your internal SD, wipe or do a factory reset in twrp/cwm flash the zip and gapps... Reboot... Do the initial setup and restore your apps or start from scratch if you prefer... Good luck!

I would need whatever zips are needed to go from AOSP to TW. And also a quick step by step on what order to flash to go back. I appreciate your help!

1. Make a backup of your current setup in twrp
2. WIPE data, system, cache and dalvik (factory reset)
3. Flash aosp rom and gapps package
4. SET IT UP...
TO RESTORE:
1. Backup your aosp setup...
2. Do the recommended wipes
3. restore your nandroid TW backup...
4. Flash this zip: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9ee1s03ev246rpx/restore-sdcard-after-downgrade.zip
5. FIX PERMISSIONS
6. Reboot and enjoy...
To restore back to aosp do the recommended wipes and fix permissions once the restore is done... Good luck!

Another issue that I've run into that could be a deal breaker. I use Good For Enterprise for my work email. It seems to have installed fine. But I'm not receiving any of my notifications for that. Do you know of any similar issues?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app

Disregard. Appears to be working now.
Also disabled the extra gv notifications too.
2 more questions though -
1 -when opening a window through notifications, is there a quick way to switch to full screen?
Can the pie menu be edited? I used it on two as a quick launch for frequent apps.
Thanks for your help
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app

Figured out the pie thing (or at least a suitable workaround).
Still trying to figure out an easy way to go from Floating Window to Full easily.

Just rooted. What apps can i remove?

I dont use 99% of these apps. At the same time i dont know what is safe / not safe to remove.
I would flash a already debloated rom. Probably easier.

Welcome to the S3 family
Easiest way to root?
Download the T-Mobile image from this thread and extract the .tar file
Flash with ODIN.
Or you can choose a different method, but you will have to ODIN custom recovery onto the phone first.
Go to this thread for guides on rooting/flashing, etc.
As for the battery, read this article about battery conditioning.

Well for starters you can look at whats been removed from the debloated rom and debloat yours to match.
Additionally, you can just search these forums as there will likely be multiple threads about whats safe to remove.
Additionally+, you can buy Titanium Backup and freeze the apps one by one. If they dont cause problems when frozen they are safe to remove.

Ok thx
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Hey Mike,
I would recommend installing a custom recovery, I highly recommend Clockwork mod. Make a backup of your system to be safe, so that you can always restore if needed. Next use a file manager with root permissions, I HIGHLY recommend Root Explorer. Create a folder on your sd card called backup_bloat (or anything really). Go to your app drawer and start jotting down the bloat. I'd recommend getting rid of all the TMobile stuff, as well as most of the samsung apps. Once you have a good idea of what to get rid of, go into your system -> apps folder and look for the same icons. Instead of just deleting the files, use the multi-select option in root explorer to select all the ones you want to get rid of. Once done, move them into the backup_bloat folder. Reboot. Test your device out thoroughly for a day or two. If it works great, you can get rid of the backup_bloat folder. Any errors, and you may have removed something needed by the phone. This is my standard debloat process, and it works well for me without having to install any custom roms.
Hope this helps!

[Q] All Share cast and macks 4.0 compatibility

Im currently running macksROM 4.0 progression L900VPALJC, 3.0.36-persius-alpha29 (kernal) on my sprint SPH-L900.
I just received my shinny new toy the Samsung All Share cast wireless hub. , My plans are to run my phone on my tv via said new toy. Problem is that they are not recognizing each other. Since this is my first rom I have ever flashed, need a little advice on how to proceed.
I am thinking that because of the rom that I have this is the problem they are not syncing. Any search for team veritas or macks rom I get from this site, the links are to threads that are gone.
1. Should I remove the rom and go back to factory data reset. (I really like this rom and want a solution to keep it)
2. Anyone have a link to macksrom 4.0 support?
3. Is there another rom proven to work fine with the All Share Cast?
I could be wrong, but I believe only stock rom supports it atm.

I know what you mean... I can't stay on a rom too long. I was on liquid which liked a lot, but last night new releases were out for the others so I tried out root box again, then paranoid, then I set up jelly beer. Root box is nice, I like it better than jelly beer. I will probably go back unless liquid gets an update. I like using the ones that are updated the most and most up to date.
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda app-developers app
yeah man. I haven't used jelly beer in awhile. I've flashed it and played but it wasn't my cup of tea. I do love liquid. ran it on my gnex and running it on a s2 and its solid. but rootbox is a beauty. running tw roms right now just cause they are bugless but battery isthe ****s. so time to go back to aosp. goddam addiction I tell ya.

What kernel are you currently running on this ROM? Have you tried other music players? flashed any recent sound mods?
Unless she's tried something else, I believe she's using the kernel from klin1344. Looked to be pretty up to date.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314835
I don't think she's flashed any sound mods, but perhaps that may help?
I'm not a CM guy, so I don't know a lot about it. Hoping one of you guys may have a suggestion.

Just AOSP I believe. It uses different source that isn't 100% open I don't think. Meaning CM and other teams have to work with what they are given, not enough for perfect. It may get 100% eventually but not right now.
Very interesting I tried to go back to stock rom because when I send picture it says phone not registered on network. Looks like I can only get back to rom that's on phone (liquidsmooth)and I did back up before doing anything.

Do you have the pro version? Free version won't allow you to access root. If not, ES Explorer and Root Browser are good free alternatives.
My favorite is Root Explorer, but its a paid app too.
Once you have this sorted, find the mms.apk you downloaded, long press and copy, then browse to /system/app.
(You may need to mount it as r/w. Press menu key or look for a switch/button on screen)
Rename the existing mms.apk to mms.apk.bak
Paste the new apk in the app folder. Long press the apk and change permissions to match all other apps in that folder.
Reboot and try sending a mms.

Oh and to restore a nandroid backup, you have to use the same recovery you created it with. I think you changed recoveries at some point, right?
If it was created with cwm, it can only be restored with cwm. Same for twrp.
Sent from my SGH-T999L using xda premium
+1 on that. The only sure way to convert backups specific to any recovery is to restore those backups on the very recovery they were originally created on then flash your desired recovery, reboot, boot back into recovery, and create a whole new backup of the one you just restored from the previous recovery. It may take some time, especially if you have a number of backups you're wanting to convert but it's well worth the time in having all your backups in one simple recovery folder.
Gonna try one of the ones you suggested and see what happens lol I changed my mind if I can get this rom where I want it then I'm staying with it lol with your help of course lol

Doesn't matter if you download by phone or pc but I'd use pc for best results. Also, download the latest gapos 20130301 from Goo or you can use updated inverted packages if you like. I personally recommend SlimRoms gapps.
