Thanks for the tips!

Have you ever lost your EFS?

And, cwm vs twrp? I'm more used to cwm, but there was no twrp when I used to flash my old phone.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
No possible answer... There are too many things to take into account.

For battery calibration you can find answers HERE

Use FolderMount and select the directories you want ;)

Another doubt, probably silly or just plain obvious to some, but here goes-

Since Halo sources are out, would it eventually work it's way to TW based roms? Or does it have to have an aosp base?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
AOSP base only.

TW and AOSP are two separate worlds :D

On TW Roms you have Floating notifications.

About Flash Zip

What is flash zip. Sorry for the noob question. I am reading tutorials on mods etc. and kinda stucked on flashing zip thing. Please someone help me here :)

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
You need a CUSTOM RECOVERY to flash unofficial files (ZIP). For me the better recovery is TWRP.

Flashing .zip files allows you to install custom roms, mods, themes, apps...

Fast one :

I disassembled and reasembled my N2 in order to clean the glue sticking out of from space between border and screen on top but I forgot to measuere all my sensors before disassembling.

Can someone please write down maximum and minimum values which I should be able to test with programs like android sensor box?

And how do I check if top and bottom mics are working properly ?

How do i check everything properly after reasembling. I mean it seems to be working but I like official check ;)

Boot Loop dilema

Hello there i would like some help here!!!

this is my present condition and how i came to this situation.

1.installed changfire 3d(graphics tool) but didn know it was not compatible wid my GT-N7100!!

2.After installing it ,it rebooted n now its been in a bootloop(softbrick) since then!!

3. Followed the steps from most of the forum.. about them telling me to reinstall my Rom

4.formatted my data to factory setting.(sniff!! lost all my data from) n decided that i would put a new ROm but realised that i had only rooted my phone but did not install a CWM recovery, [I have the basic system recovery(3e)]which is required to unpack the custom rom.

5. i tried to download CWM into the phone through the download mode and Odin only to get an error"write fail!! "

6. now im in a state of dilema.. i dunno wad to do next.. i have already formatted all my data and cache.dont have CWM recovery to put a new rom.

AS of now i hav started to search for a stock rom but dont know which stock to download

My phone model is- GT-N7100RWDINU

Thanks in advance !!!

EDIT:- FIxed the error ... i jus switched from my pc to the laptop and tried again n it worked !!!

Hello. Thank u for this great thread

After i rooted my device and installed cwm i noticed that it's lagging which didn't happen before

Is it possible that cwm is responsible for this.? And if so how can i fix this

Thank u again for your help
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
Recovery should not affect the OS. You can try to install TWRP recovery to compare.

Thank u

Thank u 4 ur reply

Could it be the root that is causing this lagging
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
Root means that you add only two files (su binary and SuperSU.apk). I had a lot of feedbacks about several root methods and it didn't reduce the phone usage.

Chenglu's recovery hasn't been updated for a while so it could be a reason. Anyway I suggest you to flash TWRP because it's a very good recovery.

Hello people

I'm a note noob, came from a nexus phone where I was comfortable in my knowledge. I get to these forums and some lingo confuses me. So I started reading and reading, to shake this noob feeling. *sigh* still a noob. Can I get a bit of help in the form of information please:

xposed and xperiacle - two different things, right?

> How on earth do you get your windows floating ? I run X-Note 3.1 which includes xposed Installer, I'm on 260 DPI phone mode. Is it possible given my configuration to have floating windows? Do I have to mess around with the built-in apps to make it so (thanks, picard) ? I don't like phablet or tablet mode. Can anyone point me to an xposed tutorial?

> in general, are simplistic & xposed mods exclusive of each other? Can a ROM utilise both these features or only 1 at a time?

I'm trying to understand how they relate to each other and the android framework.

> I thought assassin's kitchen theme zip could change most ROMs not just their own. Is that true? I tried it on X-Note 3.1 and it didn't change anything.

Thanks in advance. I'm in New Zealand & reckon you lot are still sleeping. I might go for a run before checking for replies :)

I've just bought the Note II and it's just really amazing!! I owned an Android phone for a couple of years now and I know what is rooting, flashing etc but I'm a bit confused about the methods. Right now all I want is to root the phone, remove the bloatware and be able to flash custom themes, apps, launchers etc. I don't want to flash other roms, at least for now. Which is the best root method? And will I be able to receive ota updates?

From the middle of nowhere to the center of everywhere. .
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tweeny80:
Hi, I was in your shoes a few weeks ago. Just bought the device, loved it, wanted to tinker with it.

To root, look for Chainfire's CF Auto root method, I think its in dev section. Brilliant, a few steps and you're sorted. It roots you and leaves recovery stock. OTA updates stop being a good idea once you're rooted. I've read you may be able to receive them but there is a risk.

Another rooting tool is Mskips toolbox, look for it though I found CF auto the easier option.

I suggest you get a custom recovery, install a ROM knowing future updates will end up being posted on XDA anyways, meaning you'd be able to enjoy it by flashing a rooted OTA ROM.

Hope that helps

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaoscreater:
I've never used a Note 2 before and I'm planning on getting one soon. However, I'm really confused with a lot of stuff specifically related to this device. Other devices I've used are plan simple, simply install custom recovery, flash custom rom (most are pre-rooted) and DONE.

On Note 2 however, there's so much stuff to learn and understand. Such as the sudden death syndrome, EFS, modem, flash counters, even battery drain related issues.

So basically, I've understood most of the basics about this device but am most confused with EFS and Modem related stuff, such as from this thread here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=42794146

I have no clue what it's talking about. The only thing I know is that the EFS contains the IMEI, and Modem knows how to use that IMEI. They're both to do with your network, so if the IMEI is lost or EFS is corrupted, your SIM card won't be able to locate a network, therefore you can't make txts or calls. Other than that, I'm mostly confused with the Modem versions, like which one will cause problems and how you downgrade it etc.

Stuck in "Samsung GALAXY NoteII GT-N7100" logo

Hi All,

Hopefully somebody can help me out. My rooted Note2 is now stuck at "Samsung GALAXY NoteII GT-N7100" logo. What I did was just this : when I opened the Nandroid Manager, it said that there's an unknown backup (along with other known backups) and that I need to "reboot into recovery" and then "reboot the system" in order to fix this. So I go to "reboot into recovery" which is already inside the Nandroid Manager but when I click on it, it just stuck at the Samsung logo (not the blue samsung logo but the one prior to that when you reboot). I tried to force reboot by pressing the on/off button but to no avail. I even took out the battery, put it back in and restarted it, still it got stuck at that logo. Can somebody help?

I also tried the volume up+home key+power button but that also didn't help. If I can just get to download mode...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
Note III will have better performance and LTE network. The comparison will be the same between S3 & S4. Same features will be available on Note II soon.

Try stock look like ARHD, Omega, monxDIFIED,... and change the kernel if needed.

Flashing the last firmware may corrupt your EFS folder. Anyway after rooting a device the first thing to do is to save the EFS folder, Note II or not.

For SDS the problem is solved with latest Samsung firmwares and almost all custom kernels.

Concerning the root, recovery... so easy ;) Just flash. We don't have any issue about eMMC bugbrick.

If backups don't work you don't have other possibility that flashing a stock firmware with Odin.

Also, what's the main difference between "original android development" and "android development" custom roms? It seems that the battery on the Note 2 is better on stock kernel, is that why we have "stock" custom roms? I don't really see any incentive to try out the actual custom roms in the "android development" section if it's available in both sections.

there really isnt much to it... the sudden death bug has been fixed and almost all kernels still in recent development have the fix. As for the flash counter... basically if u have a custom kernel u cant revert it to 0, and therefore risking your warranty. as for battery drain issues.. unless its official, that is everyone is getting it, it's pretty much the same as any other phone including wakelocks and stuff. as for the efs and modem you have to be extra careful when it comes to flashing the new DME6 - DMF2 KERNELS. these new kernels which comes with the new dme6 and dmf2 roms change your modem and efs ON BOOT, and the result is that the new efs can only work with the new modem. read more here. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2332913

Kinda stupid question to ask here but... Since I cracked the glass above speaker on my note 2 (really tine 2mm crack above ear speaker- barely visible and I got samsung screen protector to cover it)

but anyway... I have note2 for 2 months. It is incredibly fluid, fast, screen is great and spen is amzaing for writing sms and browsing internet... but the size sometimes is not easy to carry _ ... the phone constantly have to be in protective cover+ or otterbox defender to feel sturdy.. The phone really lack the solid feel. I feel like I could break it by putting it on the table. Plastic, plastic, plastic..

I could exchange my note 2 for new Nexus4 with original bumper. I've toyed with one N4 with original google bumper and the phone seems amazingly sturdy. no creeking, squeeking and the glass feels smooth + bumper is raised above a fair way in front and back.

what do You guys think ? Should I stick with my n2 and just try not to care about little crack (really, really minimal) and carry it in otterbox defender or sell it and get n4 ?

Or maybe any leaks on n3 ?

anyway, my rooted note 2 now having external 16gb, i already bought a 64gb memory. can you give me some brief idea which to do first? the idea in my mind now is

copy all the internal pic / video file to pc

copy all the external sd pc/video file to pc

backup using nandroid,

insert the new 64gb microsd,

copy the kernel n rom to memory

install red pill kernel first,

install custom ROM

and am i ready to go?

can you give some idea and correct me if any steps above not in order??
