[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SalkinA:
Think I already know the answer, but I'm asking just to be sure, is there any way of undervolting the stock samsung kernel?

And is there any stock samsung ROM that is as clean as it can get and where you instead of having the option to remove apps, you get the option to add apps?

Would be cool to have a completely stripped ROM, and start at that end instead of the other way around. I know developers like to put their own touch on a ROM but it seems like there should be at least one that would be interested in a project like this?

There would probably be some dependencies between certain apps so if you install app A you have to install app B and so on but that seems like a better way to go anyway if the goal is to get the ROM as light and fast as possible.

Maybe there already is such a ROM and I just haven't found it yet. :)

You should be able to go to xda site or app and search your model, then just look through original development... or search your model, then search the roms you want

Note 2 custom rom

I am looking for a custom rom that has a better lockscreen than touch wiz, hopefully with a better battery life too.

my question is, are there any roms out there that fits the above requirements, without sacrificing the Spen/Snote functions?

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cnmservad:
I have flashed close to 20 different roms on my note 2 and kept about 7 of them cuz of the battery life... I have never ran into a rom that my spen didn't work on... my spen works great and fully on every single rom I've ever flashed

On a side note, do I have to do a separate efs backup every time I restore/re root?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cnmservad:
Not unless you want to... The only times I do backups is after I set a rom up
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamwozy:
So it's right to assume that the efs backup remains valid after a factory restore, since it's essentially the phone's "fingerprint"
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cnmservad:
Yes, actually your efs folder can't be touched by any kind of flashing and I wouldn't recommend messing with that folder cuz there isn't a way to recover the folder's contents... The efs fodder contains your phone's imei number and other crucial info that, if alerted or deleted, can cause your phone not to be recognized by any carrier...

Lost IMEI lost sim...

,,Hi, yesterday I was happily using CM10.1 on my N7100 before I've decided to update with Cyandelta.. I was not able to backup with cwm recovery because of shortage of memory in my internal storage. So I updated with just a system and efs backup... The update via cyandelta failed and so tried rescuing my old system but md5 sums were dismatch,.. Then I got mad :mad: and just wanted to clean all this mess on my internal storage up and formated my system, boot and preload completely.. Afterwards, I flashed CM10.1 again and was first happy that my storage was free but I had lost my carrier and my IMEI... :confused: Pls help, what am I have to do now?!"

Please, help. My phone periodically switches to 3g connection from h+, and the speed of connection falls down to zero. Can I lock the h+ mode?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cnmservad:
Did you alter your efs folder on the phone or delete it?

---------- Post added at 08:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:43 AM ----------

The phone is supposed to switch back and forth depending on which signal you're picking up... If you're in an area where 4g (h+) is iffy or non existent, locking in the h+ would suck cuz you wouldn't get a reliable signal... check around and take your phone somewhere where you know the 4g (h+) signal is available and strong (in populated areas of downtown or close to the freeway in town, areas like that) and see if it sticks on h+... If it does, you'll know where you're at the 4g sucks and 3g isn't any better... You can find apps if you look hard and long enough that can help boost your signal receiver in your phone on certain speeds or you can find build prop tweaks to insert in your phone that will do the same, if not better...

I rooted my GN2 N7100 the other day & I am looking for a ROM to flash to my device. I would firstly like to know if its possible to make a nandroid without an SD card & then just back it up to the computer. Secondly I am looking for ROM which offers stability (Well developed), enhanced performance & fully customizable with with the latest firmware (4.2.2) & OTA updates. Any suggestions as to which of the ROMS available are compatible with the N7100 international version.

Any replies would be much appreciated.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechThis_Out:
Could you not just copy the nandroid backup from phone to the computer a simple copy & paste?

When an update becomes available for Omega do you need to flash the new update or does it have an OTA feature which will notify you when an update is available & connect to their servers to simply install?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr Sanfour:
About nandroid, i hve never tried so i cant answer you about it.. sorry..

When there s a new version of omega (actually v16) you will need to flash it by recovery! It wouldnt be on OTA coz its not a samsung official

The rom comes with a shortcut called omega files and above you will have all the info about updates (in the section: information> omega updates) and customisations like mods and kernels...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cnmservad:
Yes, you can store your backups on your computer... I just copied my entire twrp folder over to my pc and if I need to, I can copy it back over to the phone and restore any of my backups... The doc is right about the ota update thing... The only way to get ota updates is to run Samsung firmware, no custom rom has ota ability
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechThis_Out:
What about ROMS supported by GooManager & ROM Manager etc?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cnmservad:
Same thing... If it's not official Samsung firmware, you have to reflash the updated rom to get the updates

There's no limitations add to what you can do with the note 2 as far as I can see, other than a lack of devs and roms as compared to other phones, but that's due to a lack of devs... The exynos chip set is a great family and the note 2 is pretty stellar in my opinion

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mha93:
Aah, so rooting/flashing it won't be so different as other devices using other chipsets? Most of my search results all came up with how the 'closed' nature of the exynos chip will hinder development etc but it's good to see that it'll be no different

I'm glad to hear it worked... You can use Root Explorer and navigate to the efs folder and open it to make sure, you may have to look up what should be in there... The efs folder holds all your phone's important info like imei#, serial#, carrier info, etc... There is no way, that I know of, to recover this folder if deleted, but if the folder is still there, you should be able to edit what's in there through text editor and full it back in, don't quote me on that cuz I've never messed with that folder and I won't lol
