Hello.

I have a noob question. I've recently installed PAC-MAN ROM on my note 2. Rom is very good, so many thanks to the developers. My question is:

I have version 20.0.0, now when new version is out, do i have to install it all over again ( factory reset, dalvik vipe....), or i can just install the 20.1.0.

Many thanks.

Andrej.

Alright, so im not exactly a novice, i've done my share of flashing. Just came over to the i605 (Verizon variant) from a Gnex. After reading up on this phone I still cant for the life of me get an external sd to format and recognize on an AOSP ROM. The card isnt corrupt, it reads on Touchwiz just fine. Whats the trick?

If you are flashing newer version of the same rom you are using then there is no need of factory reset

you can do dalvik wipe even that is not compulsory....

My first Android Phone

Hi everyone,

I recently bought Galaxy note 2 (GT-N7100). I would like to use my external SD for application storage such as medical app, skype, steam, games...etc. I would like to do so with minimum modification to my phone as I do not want to take any risk damaging my phone such as bricking. To clarify more, my questions are:

1. Do I need to root my phone to use a program such as app2sd?

2. If yes, can you recommend the safest program/steps to root it?

As for educational purposes, I have ve googled answers to the following questions but I still lack a complete understanding to these terminologies. I'll put them as questions:

1. what is Rooting, ROM and Kernel?

2. Are there any advantages or disadvantages regarding them?

3. If I understood correctly what I read on the net, Kernel is part of ROM but I see forum users or commentators use different ROM and kernel or recommend them separately. How do I know what suites me best for example as a Physician such as in my case.

If you like to link threads, pages or post as answers for me to read I will happily do so. If you like to answers them directly that is OK with me as well. In the past, I patiently sought out answers through google but I am afraid that due to my profession I do not have the luxury of time. For that I apologize. Thank you in advance.

S/n 000000000

Sorry if this has been asked before. After flashing latest stock Jelly Bean 4.1.2 ROM my phone serial number (not IMEI) became 000000000. My IMEI is intact and everything seems to be working fine. Just wondering if this is normal? Also I read that a bug in ICS 4.0.4 causes the same issue in SGS-II and that flashing the ICS Bootloader fixes it. I wonder if the same can be done for the SGN-II to fix S/N. Thanks.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WAHEGURU JI:
it also goes this way with me too,,so i think there is something wrong with goo manager,,you have to download latest version of TWRP,,zip file(flash through existing recovery) or tar file (flash using odin) from this link ( teamw.in/project/twrp2/115)

try TWRP its worth trying m also using it...

thanx...

---------- Post added at 02:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:00 PM ----------

yes,,you have to root your phone to get the best out from your super phone..there is very very less chance of bricking the phone if you do exactly that is described in rooting tutorial,,please read them very carefully when rooting,,to root your phone goto link "galaxynote2root. com" that is very easy by the way just you have to flash a file using odin..

there are lots of advantages of rooting phone and only single disadvantage is that you will loose manufacturer warranty but there are still some solutions to get the warranty..

and another thing about rom and kernel is that if you are not a heavy user stick to stock rom and kernel that is super stable...

I just wiped the Dalvik and cache and then installed the 20.1.0 - no factory reset was needed and no reinstallation of apps, folders etc. easy to do. If you came from a different (non-Pacman) ROM then you would have to do the full wipe/reset bit
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karlada:
Reply

First of all... to switch to twrp recovery you will have to use odin(PC) . the first thing you need to do is download the twrprecovery.tar file from xda (comes with the note 2 root toolkit) proceed by normal odin flashing rules click pda etc... after that you will have twrp flashed...i recommend PhilzTouch Recovery which is more customizable and easier and can be flashed through CMW

---------- Post added at 11:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:34 PM ----------

If you are updating the same rom to a newer version, always wipe cache and then dalvik cache(without factory reset) ... if coming from another rom always wipe data factory reset wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache

[Q] 3g issues in OmegaROM v.13.

Hi to all.

I've just installed OmegaROM v.13 in my N7100 (international version). I bought it in USA, but live in Argentina. Before, I used data connection without issues but after I installed this ROM, I can't get any connection (not even EDGE).

I thought it could be APN configuration issues but I reconfigured it as the same I had before and as other cellphones I have and works great, but not in my N7100.

After that, I thought it could be a modem problem (I'm really noob and don't understand too much about it). So I changed the other two modems available for OmegaROM v.13 and it's still not connecting.

Before OmegaROM I had XXALJ3 stock firmware installed, Unrooted, full stock.

I've searched through the forum and I couldn't find any answers. Can Someone help me? I thought maybe a change of CSC or modem coud solve it, but I don't know what to do since modems DDLK6, DDLK7 and XXALJ2 do not connect neither!

Thank you for your answers!

I'm coming in with a refurb note ii, from the infuse. How easy is it to brick this thing, as compared to the unbrickable infuse?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brixie11:
Which is the best ROM is a relative question. Like they say " someones garbage is anothers treasure." You should ask yourself what u want on your phone. S-pen is on Samsungs kernels, so u wont find it in AOKP roms ( at least not yet ). Best course of action is to go to your phones section on this forum and try different ROMs. That way u can decide which ROM or functionality is for you. I personaly use PACMAN rom because I don't need S-pen and multi window feature.

Edit: Oh, and you should read the forum because there is a lot of usefull information. Fiddling with your phone is not as to go buy some bread, you can render it unusable. And of course you can find things that you havent even thought of asking :)

Regards, Andrej

---------- Post added at 09:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:09 AM ----------

Well, bricking your phone is possible tho ( not that easy as it used to be :) ). I suggest that u follow instructions on what ever you'll do ( root, install ROM... ). The only way i see to brick your phone is unplug it from odin while flashing or taking out battery during. I had that problem once ( actualy twice, once i could recover ). The main reason to brick your phone is ( I think ) to install wrong firmware ( from different model ) on your phone.Anyway, here on this forum developers made excelent instructions on how to. If you follow them you will be fine.

Nice to see so many ROMs I'm familiar with from the Infuse (PA, Avatar, CM).

I just have a couple more questions, so that I can hit the ground running when my Note II gets here.

Am I right in assuming that if you go above 4.1.2, you lose multi-window and pen support (until Samsung releases an actual 4.2 for this phone)? I don't think that'll turn out to be a huge deal for me, but I just want to verify.

Are you guys having the same problem we had with the Infuse...choppy HD (well, SD is no cake walk either) recording if you go past stock?

Is it just me, or are there not a lot of ROMs around here that use Theme Chooser?

I bought 2x Samsung Galaxy Note 2 phones off newegg for $650 each. These are unlocked phones, specifically, this device:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875176414

The data service for just about everyone I've tried sucks horribly. I decided to give T-Mobile a try since they offer 4G HSPA+ 42 in this area.

The person in the store says that I can buy prepaid sim cards. I wind up ordering them over the phone since they only cost $1 instead of $30 for a microsim if you order it that way. The website says I can get 2GB of 4G data per month for $60. I pay my $66 and change after tax.

Immediately, I notice I am getting crappy 2G / Edge comparable speeds. I call customer service and they tell me that because the phones are unlocked and not bought from T-Mobile that 2G / Edge is the maximum speed I can get and that 4G speeds are not possible without purchasing a phone direct from T-Mobile. Neither the person in the store, nor the person that sold me the sim over the phone mentioned this and they are refusing a refund.

Is there any truth to what they are saying about not being able to get 4G if I don't purchase direct from the service provider. Are there any work arounds?

I'm burning with rage right now.

Thanks,

good day sir,

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brixie11:
You can find settings for pie control in Settings -> Customization -> Toolbars -> Pie controls. You can set:

Trigger area: This is for trigger area which means how big the area for pop the pie is ( if its too big then is hard to trigger buttons on bottom bar ) If selected to none, there will be no pie control.

Prevent rotation: If selected, pie controls will stay on the same place even if you rotate the phone

Pie gravity: Select where pie control will be

Middle alignment: If checked, pie controll will always be at the middle, if not, center will be where you touch with your finger

Pie style: That means the animation speed of the info section of the pie control

Pie size: This is how big will be your pie control

Item gap: It means how much space will be between the buttons on the pie control

Persistent menu button: If checked, there will be always button for settings ( 3 dots ) present

Search button: If checked, there will be button for search ( magnifying glass ) present

I hope that helps.

Hi, I have a few questions:

1. I have played a lot with custom roms when i had the atrix, now that i have this N7100, i would like to do the same, but do the custom roms have the ability to use the s-pen in the same way as the stock rom? are there replacement apps that do similar work so i wont miss original stock rom?

2. When flashing stock rom (due to an update) do i lose the root? and the teamwin custom recovery? (i used the toolkit for both).

3. After I rooted the stock rom, my OTA updates say that the phone is modified, so i guess i wont be able to update in that way, is there something to be done with that? or only flashing option is ODIN/KIES/ODIN PRO?

4. Is teamwin and CWM practically the same? in one better than the other?

thanks.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ixijimixi:
Ahhh, duh!

Thanks for the help!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brixie11:
1. You can find custom ROMs with s-pen support which are based on stock ROM. Like this one:

Android Revolution HD

or

Phoenix ROM

2. Flashing ROMs have nothing to do with root ( Once your phone is rooted it stays rooted ). Some phones can be unrooted tho, but you have to do this deliberately and it has nothing to do with ROM.

3. Kies and OTA updates detect that you dont have original ROM installed, but whats the point if you have already rooted phone, coustom ROMs are way better and faster then original ROMs. :)

4. I don't know teamwin. I use CWM and its working fine, that is just matter of personal usage. From what I've read TWRP have a few more functions, so it's up to you which one to use.
