Note 2 Omni Rom Needs Help with Ringtone, 3G, Multi-windows, and more

Hello Forumites,

I'm a newbie, both to this site and as a smartphone user. Yes, I know I've been living under a rock for a long while now.

Anyways, I've updated Note 2 N7100 from Android 4.3 to Android 4.4.2 using Omni Rom. Omni Room 4.4.2 is smoother and less buggy than 4.3 that I updated earlier. However, I'm now facing with a few issues, and I need your help to overcome it. Here are some of the issues:

1. Is it possible to choose a ringtone of my own instead of from a stock list? If yes, how?

2. How do I have my old toggle panel back? (In the 4.3 version, you would swipe downward to get access to most of the toggle buttons. And you can even rearrange the order in anyway you want. Now I can't. Although there's a toggle panel on home screen, they are not enough, and not the way I want to arrange it. I don't use Bluetooth. Is there a way to replace that Bluetooth toggle with 3G?)

3. For some reason, batter seems to drain at a noticeably quicker rate that in 4.1 or 4.3 version.

4. How to access Multi-window again?

Thanks for taking the time to reply to my post.

Cheers.

Try Ditto Note 3 if you're on N7100, Illusion if you want aosp or stock DEOXED if u want stock... search XDA, it's really simple.

P.S. aosp is basically Stock android without touchwiz and spen stuff and sapps.

Ringtone maker from play store should do the trick...

If u mean the thousands of toggle stuff, I don't think 4.4 has it...

What do u exactly mean?

4.4/Aosp doesn't have multi-window.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nuzgryndor:
Thanks for such a prompt reply, Irwenzhao.

1. Will check it out as soon as I'm replying to your post.

2. Not the thousands of toggle buttons (though, I'm not sure if I call them by the correct names. They are those buttons that you touch to turn on or off features such as Wifi, 3G, Airplane mode, Bluetooth, Smartstay, etc). Before I can easily access them through SETTINGS or shortcuts. I could also rearrange the order of the buttons according to my need. Now, some of them are gone (such as SmartStay), while some ( such as Mobile Data) needs extra steps to turn on/off.

With the current 4.4.2 Omni rom, I have the toggle buttons of [Wifi--Bluetooth--GPS--Rotation--Brightness] lump together on homescreen. Is there a way for me to remove "Bluetooth" and replace it with, say, "Mobile Data" ?

3. Yes, for my case. Ever since updating to 4.4.2, the battery last much shorter than it used to be.

4. Thank you for the clarification. Wondering if Multi-window will ever come back.

Thanks & cheers.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Irwenzhao:
2) check your settings? They might be there. (Could u post a screenshot of your homescreen? I'm not really sure what do u mean? Do u mean a bunch of Widgets?

3) try ART. May help but I'm not that sure.

4) nope it wont unless u flash a tw-based ROM.

Hello, I have a quesiton regarding a rom I installed and a kernel i installed afterwards A person who did the same thing faced no problems; I tried contacting them via private message but they haven't replied... I followed the steps of installling the rom and it was successful, then I flashed the kernel via recovery (cwm v.6) philz v5 and it said it was successful, but then upon rebooting, the device did not boot. I get the screen "samsung gt n 7100" then nothing at all, I just happened to see some blue line at the bottom of the screen moving, then the screen becomes black and stays black to no avail.. For now I have reflashed the custom rom but I would like to know why the kernel isn't working... Note the kernel says it's supposed to work on such samsung custom roms...

Thanks in advance.

TMOUS ROM on International 7100 Note 2???

Hi, I live in the U.S. and have an international Note 2 (7100).

I've seen lots of talk about flashing official T-Mobile ROMS on the 7105 version but I could never find anything about doing so on the 7100.

Is it possible? (I know at a minimum the correct radio would have to be flashed)

Thanks!

I'm no stranger to rooting, but this is my first non nexus device and I'm unsure what Knox actually is and what it does. From what I've gathered, it splits your work and personal accounts or something. Anyway, what I need to know is how does this Knox affect root?

Is there something else you have to do other than flashing through Odin in order to get rooted?

Unlimited multiwindow mod?

Hi guys,

I have been searching searching for a multi-window unlocker mod that would work with my configuration for two hours, maybe someone can help me:

- N7100 rooted and working on 4.1.2 (odexed)

- baseband version (maybe a bad translation, i'm french) : XXDMF1

- version number (same here) : JZO54K.N7100XXDME6

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Irwenzhao:
Welcome to Samsung! Basically, Knox is a stupid implementation by Samsung to lock your bootloader (it is a bootloader, technically) and prevent downgrading. By rooting, you will lose your warranty (Knox counter: 1) and u cannot reset this.

What ROM are u using? Stock ROM has this feature by default. AOSP roms do not have thus feature due to the absence of touchwiz and code deep in the framework.

Alright, I think I might try that but I never did that before so my question here is : what am I going to lose if I do? I have have made massive changes on my phone (240dpi, a lot of tweaks, changed kernel, etc) and I am not really sure what is depending on the ROM you have, can you tell me what the risk is in flashing the stock version of my ROM ? And also, if I change my ROM, do you think it is a wise choice to keep this particular one? I mean, is it a good one or another stock ROM is superior? Changing for my stock or another won't make it harder so I'd better think about it now... I find it supercool to be doing this kinda stuff and that awesome phone and to be helped by someone from singapore ahah, thanks!

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Irwenzhao:
you'll lose your 240dpi, your tweaks and your kernel (kernel that came with the rom will be flashed.) There shouldn't be any risk in reflashing your ROM. (Clean flash recommended, as always) I don't always talk about best ROMs, but as I always say, choose ROMs according to your personal preference.

What are the chances it would brick the phone?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antique_sonic:
Tmobile is LTE device. Therefore it won't work on ur N7100.

Pls don't ever try especially phones not belong to u nd u don't know what u r doin.

GSM and LTE device have a lot differences in ROM. Without a proper porting, each rom can only be used on its particular device.

Tmob, At&t, and N7105 international has similarities in rom, partition, efs/nv_data. Ur N7100 is totally different.

Do a proper porting first, then u can use it then.

Hi there!

I have a brazilian Note 2 and I just got the 4.3 update.

I want to remove some apps from the carrier and I tried to root it but with no success.

I searched for some topics and some of them used that vroot and Kingo (and now they are both banned as they are considered malware).

So...I searched again and I found a topic leading to a galaxy note 3 method to root it...and I got lost and now I´m here asking for your support guys.

Is there a way to root the phone from 4.3?

Is it just me or this version is a huge memory drain? On 4.1.2 it used about 600mb and now it uses 1gb easy...

Gapps not working..

Hey everyone. I really am stumped to a solution to this problem. Before posting to this forum, I took the effort to look up answers on Google, and even XDA-devs forums. But it seems nothing worked. This are the things I've done before posting help in the form of a thread.

- I tried the disabling and reenabling the downloads manager. This is the very first troubleshooting I did. Didn't work..

- Tried clearing data and cache of Gapps. I did all of them individually. Nope, didn't budge either.

- One of my friends advise me to wipe dalvik cache and also the cache. Also didn't work. I tried factory reset. Gapps still refused to function normally.

- After factory resetting twice, I reflashed my Cyanogenmod 10.2 and the respective Gapps that worked with it. I still cant' sign in despite creating a new account and trying to sign in using the new Gmail account.

- Finally I downloaded Paranoid Android 3.99 and the respective Gapps that worked with it. Flashed the Paranoid Android 3.99 and the Gapps. Nah, nothing seems to work at all!

The problem is just with Gapps. I can't sign in to apps that needs my Gmail ID to be used. An important app for e.g. Playstore.

I don't mind losing my data, but the inability to access PlayStore and not being able to redownload my apps is highly annoying.

I'm able to access the internet, everything is normal except the Gapps. I really don't know what is wrong..

Please help! I've attached a screenshot that is consistently showing throughout the whole time I was troubleshooting,

Don't mess with tar.md5 files without an understanding of them.. Those tar.md5 files contains boot sections of your phone so just taking from one and injecting to other is reckless.. You can hardbrick your phone.. Yes you can change modem of your phone with any other

modem for your phone

but you shouldn't do it by messing around tar files or bin files.. When i was using SGSII developers had collected and reviewed all published modem files for SGSII.. And those modems were zip format and flashable via CWM recovery.. After some time i believe a developer will show up and create a modem archieve like it happened with SGSII.. So i suggest you until that time just stick with your modem, don't mess around it..
