Moon rom help, guidance, and off topic thread. - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

Alright, alright, alright. So I have been thinking that Lacoursiere18, has been overly nice with letting us ask for eta's, off topic posts, and the same question being asked multiple times. Sometimes by me even.:screwy: So I was thinking that a general thread to keep the hysteria down might work out well. I, and I am sure others will be more than happy to help out in this thread. That way when an eta is coming down the pipe, I don't get my hopes up, only to be dashed by a simple question. I like helping people out, and will be giving(hopefully receiving) advice/tips/memes about moon rom. I know his thread is chillax, but we can cut up here more.
1. How to change apn settings to fix mms
In system/etc/apn-conf.xml change all the mmsc lines to:mmsc="http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms?X-VZW-MDN=8605551212"But with your phone number instead of 8605551212
2. Video player refuses to work in tablet mode when the dpi dips below 200. When you first boot the rom, switch to phablet, then back to tablet, and you will be at 200 dpi, and video player works in tablet mode. Simple one, but it took me a minute to figure it out.
3. Anyone who likes photowall live wallpaper, I posted a working version located here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42903230
4. For increasing volume for those that have low volume.
Thank waco2hot33 for this one folks
Use root explorer and go to system >etc and replace the default.gain file with this one ..would be a good idea to just make the old one a .bak file just to be safe.. change permissions to rw-r-r and reboot Profit. http://db.tt/PzWn5Om5
P.S. please unzip the file first ..
5. Floating keyboard mod created by xperiacle.

Edit: None of the fixes I came up with. I take no credit for any of them, jist a simple way of me helping the developers who give us so much.

Sorry guy, back on v2 because I am getting ready to travel. Still have a v3 nandroid. You know, I didnt have any problems with contacts. I tried closing it from recents, and closing it when in window mode, and had no problems. I didn't try to force it too much though. I don't think anyone is really trying ro fix it because v3.5, or 4 will be out so soon.
Yeah, a good place to kick back, and relax. I worked in the rain all day fencing in part of my yard all redneck like. Now when people come over to walk my dogs, they will leave with both arms. My ***** can pull so hard, you'd have thought you died.

Yes I've tried it with sound mods in aroma and with no sound mods...both clean flashes. Not even the extra volume button in the dialer screen works for me. Any help?

Another thing I noticed is Contacts crashes in Phone mode. But works flawlessly in tablet and phablet mode.

I have not had any problems with sound. When I use the mods, it is overbearing. Tested again earlier, and my phone is just as loud as my wife's rooted stock GN2. My son iand I played spygames as a test. We traded back and forth. Not the most scientific, but what do you expect on the 3rd of July? I can not recreate it, so I have trouble tracking down the problem here. I guess push come to shove, you could always use a volume booster app from the playstore.

This typically happens when you choose tablet contacts, and then try and use phone mode. You have to be decisive when you choose which you want. There is also the bug with contacts in v3, but again, I never had a problem with that. I hope this answers your question.

If I choose the mid volume tweak, my phone is so loud people look at me funny. I wish I could be more help.
Now my question of the day is how exactly do flashable zips work. I know I can download plenty of them, and mod them for what I want, but if anyone can point me in the direction of a good explanation, I would appreciate it.
@lacoursiere18, glad you are cool with this. Super stoked that we have your rom. Like I said, I am po right now, so any way I can help. Again, you ever need a tester, I got 2 of these in my house, and willing to brick one just for your amusement. Thanks brother

Glad to see you back waco. I am unfamiliar with this mod, can you explain it any better? I am sure it will pop up again. I will stick it in the op, and mark that one off as fixed. Now if only we could get everybody to speakin redneck, y'all would make more cents...

This is all I can offer up, sorry. Will watch for more about this in the coming days, and maybe someone with a bigger brain than me can answer.

Thanks for your help bro. Unfortunately that didn't assist me nor did a complete restore to stock, wiping internal and external storage just in case there was a file intercepting with the rom.. and while phone volume is loud, my in-call audio is still low! Don't get it, I wanna run MOON ROM TOO?!?!

---

I feel you BornDroid. I am looking across the interwebs to try and figure it out. The app is the best I can offer up. Why don't you try calling your phone feom a landline, and check the volume for me. I have rwad that if you do this, it sometimes fixes low volume. I know it is a long shot, but it is all I got right now. I will keep looking, keep looking yourself, and hopefully we can track it down
Edit-What are your aroma steps? What choices are you making during the install? It might be one of the aroma steps since this is a new ug not many have. Just trying to narrow down the culprit because lile I said me, amd my son switched phones back and forth, and called one another, and had good in call volume on both.
Does anyone else have trouble typing after switching from your phone to your tablet? My spelling is atrocious, and I blame it on that.
