Bottom Line Up Front (BLUF)

I am on MK4 firmware minus KNOX. There are no KNOX files in this ROM. I have not tried to flash this directly over top of the MC2 version of Synergy. Not sure it will work. Look through the forums on how to get up to MK4, then flash this rom. Have fun, and I enjoy feedback (positive AND negative)

Modus Operandi

After tens of thousands of downloads and millions of thread views across multiple devices, Team Synergy has now expanded their operations to include the Sprint Galaxy Note 2

Team Synergy unites the various skills of numerous devs including TrevE, Ziggy471, Virus, Mr. X, freeza, eschelon as well as yours truly. With the help of the remarkable skilled Leoisright, our goal is to provide a fully optimized ROM that runs insanely fast, looks clean, and includes our special under-the-hood tweaks that all around kick a$$. SynergyROM is what you wanted your phone to be like right out of the box.

Is this still the case? i want to flash the update but i still want to have my 4G.

Edit: I was wondering, has anyone used the perseus kernel with this ROM, if so how is it running and what version did you use?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] the_plattypus:
Shouldnt have a 3g/4g problem or problem connecting to data. Below is my screenshot of me on 3g (I don't have 4g). Also in screenshot is a perseus kernel I know works with this rom. See the file name towards top for info.View attachment 1646983

Thanks Platt....So what do you recommend as far as flashing the updated ROM? I am running your previous version. I too came from the OG Evo about 2 weeks ago, still trying to get down the proper flashing technique on this phone with TWRP.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Paiyne:
I re downloaded last and used the canada mirror (not sure which I used the first time). Flashed...and this time I was able to get into mobile networks and change to cdma only...which did connect...but still no 4g. Also nothing I appens when I try to update prl and data profile.

Will try another mirror....

Downloaded last night and installed this morning. Full wipes (x2) on everything and I've lost data. Initially it hung on the Samsung account and Gmail screens so I skipped past all that and browser hung too.

3G is working fine after I reverted to my previous rom though. I don't have 4G in Vegas so I don't know if I'd be having issues others are having.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] docdrey:
when I stated I had no problems I was connected to my wifi. Left to work this morning and no data. I can't update profile or prl. I can however make and receive calls. Platt, any advice?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigfamei:
I changed my setting from cdma/lte/whatever to just CDMA and I was able to get my data signal back. I fix would be greatly recommended. But still love the rom regardless.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] docdrey:
Temporary fix until Platt finds out whats goin on is, to go to settings> more settings>Mobile networks> Network Mode> Change from Lte/ CDMA to just CDMA. this will give you your 3g back but not 4g from what I understand. Something is better than nothing at all.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Subiegsr:
Is LJC carrier images the only thing new to r23 from r22? I'm still on r22, but thinking of just waiting if that's the case (I don't have 4g in Seattle, so it wouldn't effect me).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] nuc noob:
Same issues here. Fully wiped all, three times. No data on initial boot. Got 3g, but no 4g after changing to CDMA only. Changed APN, changed PRL manually, no dice. Reverted back to r18, all is well. There was no activate device in settings, update PRL/ profile yielded nothing. Something ain't right. MD5 checked out. Aside from that, loving the ROM. Sticking to R18 for now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mranonymous:
My data works but com.android.phone crashes when I try going to mobile networks under settings/more settings. Any suggestions? Im on r23.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] the_plattypus:
It is an issue with the XML file I noticed it on my drive back it only updates every six to eight times at set intervals. I did notice that it's only the stock option all the rest of them seem to work fine. Going to have some family time for the rest of the weekend so probably won't get fixed till sometime in the week
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] OneoftheRabble:
Oh heck.... I am not a patient person. I am an old jerk. But I freely admit it. :)

I have done a lot of research taking apart my old Evo and doing all sorts of measurements. I am starting to do the same with my N2 now. It is the only real way to know what is going on. With all the different timing factors that are used throughout the firmware/software it is tough to gauge accuracy. After some of my testing.... I would say "One is less accurate than the other.... but I have no friggin' idea which one!" :silly:

Before installing Synergy I could send using both.

What might be the reason for the main messaging app not sending those screenshots now but Handcent sending them?

2nd: Would anyone suggest using the Perseus kernel with Synergy or leave it as stock kernel?

Is this how you partition a sd card to make space.

Hey leo did that file help u out? Or didnt get a chance yet
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] coiledwire:
Nothing was done between revs to cause bad battery life. And reports of reduced battery life isn't common. You need to do some initial troubleshooting on your own; install procedure, restoring of apps/settings, mods, kernel/kernel settings, rouge apps, etc.

If you find a specific item sucking up power, then bring it up here for discussion.

My phone likes perseus better; I'm using it now. You need to try it yourself to see if your phone performs better or not. You won't lose any rom features by switching.

Ok, you sound like you're pretty new to android lingo. I'm going to guess you want more room for apps. Rather than point you to some complicated mods to repartition, I'm going to suggest 2 options:

1) Use a backup app like helium or ti backup. Backup unused apps and games, then delete them on your phone. If you want the apps back down the road, restore the backup. You'll be where you left off.

2) Use an app that does "apps2sd". This will offload some of your internal app files to your sd card and free up some internal space. Some apps don't like running from sd card, so watch out for that. I haven't used apps2sd for many years, so you need to Google it for more info.

VZW GN2

I flashed r83, then the r85 patch as instructed. Flashed fine, took me through aroma; found the right device and all, booted up, but i have no data. I tried changing mobile networks, flipping on airplane mode, rebooting, and getting a wifi connection first. None of these worked to get data back.

OP is there a preferred logcat app? I planned to use catlog if thats sufficient.

Other than the data issue, it seems very snappy upon initial boot, im looking forward to trying it again with data lol

EDIT: This is after full wipe of data, system cache, and dalvik partitions with TWRP 2.5.0.0

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] phonefixdfw:
even after multiple full wipes, re-flashes, etc I'm having a major issue.

My phone keeps freezing after a bit. The power button still turns screen on/off, but whatever app is open is sideways and home/touch/back/etc don't do a thing. I have to do a battery pull and reboot the phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Negrito:
Search the thread, it's been answered, but to save you future battery pulls... just pull out the spen.

Side note: Leo I'm absolutely loving the Beats mod. I have actual Beats headphones and man what a difference an eq makes when listening to tunes. Best part, it seems to work system wide. I tested it with the stock player, youtube, soundclound, pandora, and songza.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] OneoftheRabble:
I would guess that you have an app that starts and then locks up in the background. I am getting about 34 to 36 hours out of a charge with my normal use.

If you have ROM Toolbox or equivalent get into App Manager and Autostart and have a look at what is starting. A program like System Tuner Pro is also good to look at a lot of stuff. Look at your battery usage list and see what is running all the time.

Greenify ( suggested in another message ) is also good. But you have to take the time to learn what stuff does before you just start turning things off. In Settings/Developers Options there is a "Do not keep activities" that will kill any APP as soon as you stop using it. Careful with this option. You can learn a LOT but you have to pay attention to what is being closed, etc. You can end up with some interesting stuff. :p

I would also check to see if you have one or more apps that are trying to set CPU clocks and such. If you have something like STweaks setting CPU clock and then ROM Toolbox doing it at boot and then System Tuner doing the same thing..... they will ALL be taking turns to set the CPU clock.... and it will ALWAYS be pegged. So check out those "competing apps" that you may have.

On my phone I always am undervolted and UC some. I run ROM Toolbox CPU profiles and Advanced Task Killer Pro to keep extra stuff at bay.

Let us know what you find! We can all use the education.

See ya'

Boot the phone into Recovery and do a Fix Permissions run in there. Then before you reboot into the system wipe Dalvik and Cache. Turn the phone OFF. All the way OFF and unplug the charging cable. Let it sit for about a minute. Boot the phone and use something like ROM Toolbox Scripter or System Tuner Pro to fix ALL permissions BEFORE you do anything else.

Make sure that you have any and all effects turned off in Stock Lockscreen. Personally I would suggest turning OFF stock and using Platts' cool Synergy locks or some 3rd party like GoLocker.

One other possibility is that your phone does not like the Ziggy kernel. Mine certainly doesn't. I must use Perseus on my phone. If the above doesn't work I would look at changing kernels. You won't lose anything with Perseus and it runs very, very nicely on this ROM.

Let us know!!

Here's something I just noticed. There's no reception meter (notification) while on the lockscreen.

Straight up stock tw lockscreen doesn't show the clock in the notification, but it will show radio reception info. Even the OP screenshots show it.
