[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] 1Brite1:
Thanks for the leaks for us flashaholics! We appreciate it. What I have found is kind of weird. I use Sensorly and Open Signal Maps. I wanted to drive to where I saw 4G listed a few miles from where I live-it showed some users in Kentwood, Michigan. However, the apps can't seem to find Sprint and directly goes only to Verizon 4G. It usually will show all carriers in the area. Now, it only defaults to Verizon. I also have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and it is working the way it should. It does show where I am currently located at tho. GPS Plus test is working fine all phone info seems to be correct.

Also, I just checked my gallery for my pictures/movies. It asks me to Choose Media Source Gallery Database Samsung S3 SD Card Internal SD Card

My ping is down to about 80-90 which is good. Speed it about 1-2Mbps. I was streaming Google Music today and no lag or delay between songs which is good. I want to see how the signal strength is where I go hiking with my dog, but can't get there due to the snow. Never have good signal strength there and would be great if it improves and also to test to see if 4G really is in some type of testing phase.

Thanks again for our addiction feed. Have a great day all my fellow flashers.

PS Also, another weird thing is that when Google Play restored my apps, it also restored all of my Verizon apps like My Verizon Mobile, VZ Navigator, NFL Mobile. That has never happened before between my two phones. Usually the app store will restrict the apps that are carrier specific.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
Yep... or one click if doing from pc/laptop
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] BrianBaker:
Man..hearing about the lag fix when waking up the device and a non laggy notification shade(with multiple notifications) make me want to try this but I'm scared about the flash back to LJC if it doesn't work out..Are there any other quirks found in MA5 since it's been a few days? How's battery life?

I downloaded both files and I'm ready to do this..lol. I went 3 days without flashing in my 1st 2 weeks with this device.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] btbamzao:
Honestly I'm having 0 issues. Battery is around 23 hours with heavy usage. I now have 4g in my house which I didn't get before. All in all great update. If you don't like it use billiards tool to go right back to ljc. Easy as pie.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] BrianBaker:
I think i'll give it a go..im aware of the 2 types(keep data,lose data) I chose to start fresh with the data wipe..But there were 2 files in there one was 1.3 GB and the other was around 750MB..Thats where im a little confused..Ive flashed through ODIN a few times where i put the phone into download mode..But im sure i cant just do that here..Think mi'll read as much as I can before going forward..I don't know why it seems so confusing to me..I've been down this road many times

If by chance a non-flashaholic has flashed this are there any changes that makes it worth flashing or should I sit this one out and wait for the next leak? Reinstalling apps, redoing email, removing exchange security, google wallet etc. just isn't worth it for placebo changes Imo.

Thx in advance
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tridogg97:
Is anyone aware that google wallet works with this leak. Yay
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jamesey:
Works without the work around method?

How did you install Google wallet?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tridogg97:
You know its already pre installed yeah on ljc I got that message. I did ma5 .tar no data and now my google wallet works. Thanks for this leak.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dimahnbloe:
This build is a dream if you are a benchmark freak. This score is over-clocked to 1.8 using tegrak but even before overclocking I was getting 7100 to 7300 stock on stock flash, no kernel or prop tweaks. Keep in mind I posted a middle of the road score. Did not want to show the highest obtain score (8150) becuase I only broke 8000 2 twice. Average is 7600 to 7900 This build is a beast. 3g speeds are up 30 to 60 percent in my area. Was barely breaking 1.2 no matter which modem I flashed until ma5. Now 1.5 to 2.3 easy. I even rolled back to lk8 and ljc last night just to confirm and its real guys and gals no placebo here. Tried to flash kernel or modem alone to previouse builds and I was able to get the 3 g speeds but not the performance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] yuuutttt:
Does going to MA5 and back to LJC via odin cause the chameleon errors?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bp328i:
I can confirm, my Google Wallet just setup without issue as well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jamesey:
I will confirm that as of today the version used for the work around no longer works. I am now forced to flash leak to use Google wallet. Coincidence I think not. This tells me next official update will support Google wallet and it was Samsung or sprint all along causing the issue whether.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] patrick_1:
Has anyone noticed on this build their charging light quitting on them at some point during a charge? Sleshepic helped me out and suggested a kernel swap, I'm currently using his (Thanks again slesh) but it seems to be happening again. Can't seem to find or have noticed any bugs that stand out:thumbup: I agree with the post above...is that the faint smell of ota I'm catching?

Be sure to thank user bp328i for noticing and posting the info.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] formuk:
Everything is perfect and snappy for me EXCEPT one thing... The Gallery app seems to lag like CRAAAZZZZYY.. but it's not an SD card prob because QuickPic or any other gallery replacement app from the market is smooth and quick. Not sure... I'd rather use the default Gallery App since it shows Picasa pics. Any Suggestions?!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] MikeyLee:
I am running this and having an issue. It's also apparently happening on the stock Deodex MA5 also. Here's a screenshot of the problem. At random times I get this message "radio has been granted su permissions" and it does it over and over and over and never stops until you reboot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwilco12:
If you do an ADB reboot it fixes it.

An easy way to do an ADB reboot is the reboot option in the app Quickboot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] MikeyLee:
I dont see an ADB reboot option in Quickboot
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwilco12:
It's just Reboot. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tridogg97:
+1 I thought I was the only one.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] MikeyLee:
Oh right... Yes a reboot does get rid of the constant su thing but it does not permanently solve the issue. It's happened to me 3 times in less than 24 hrs now
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] MoHoGalore:
Just turn off notifications in su.

Supersu is now updated to 1.04. Have you updated it?

And if it continues to be a problem, I'd suggest posting in CF's thread for a resolution.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] MikeyLee:
I'm using Superuser not SuperSU. Should I change em?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] MoHoGalore:
My apologies for glancing at the screenshot. And it won't hurt to have supersu on top of superuser.

My suggestion is yes.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jamesey:
So now that I was forced to flash the leak to use Google wallet. After flashing I went to the app store and now It's hidden from the store. Went through Web browser and got a message not for this phone. I ended up googgling the version # and downloaded a patched version that has the phone check removed and installed using root explorer. Now it works!

So no this version won't end everyone's Google wallet woes.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] MikeyLee:
Incredible battery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] MikeyLee:
K I did both. I'll see if it helps the issue
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] JimSmith94:
I'm wondering about the huge size difference too. I want to go from rooted LK8 to rooted MA5 with the rooted nodata. Can someone confirm that they have done this successfully without losing data?

Also while I'm at it, are these ROMs deodexed? If not, is there one available to flash without losing data?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwilco12:
One is the uncompressed TAR the other is a compressed one-click.

None of them are deodexed.

The no data version leaves all your data intact.

:D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] BrianBaker:
O.K. so it seems if I just want to go from Rooted LJC to rooted MA5 and i dont want to keep my files and start over I can just go into Odin and flash the uncompressed rooted restore tar and be updated..Will this update to the latest kernel and modem as well or do i need to update those 1st while on LJC?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] MoHoGalore:
The rooted restore one click will take care of what you're wanting.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobrel:
I just did the "one click stock no data" from the stock lk8 but the modem is still lk8. How do I get the ma5 modem using stock recovery? I tried flashing the one from the Op's link but it failed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tridogg97:
You can only flash from custom recovery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sbuxreg:
so just so this is clear in my head. there is no way to flash this ma5 modem w/o being rooted then correct?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dutchman71:
Yes, rooted AND a custom recovery. For now that is.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobrel:
Ok Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jamesey:
There is life without the modem. Your phone will work just fine. However, you will have no placebo effect to share ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tridogg97:
That is correct unless you have .tar or .img
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] coiledwire:
Unpack that modem zip and you'll see a modem bin file. Use Odin (desktop, not mobile) to flash the bin file to your phone. You do not need root or custom recovery.

Sent from my SPH-L900
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sbuxreg:
tried this and the result was fail.

Details

Used Odin 3.07

Used the Phone Button

Selected Modem.bin that i extracted from the zip file and then pressed start.

(my current baseband is lk8)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwilco12:
Did you try the modem one-click?

http://rwilco12.com/downloads.php?d...ng Galaxy Note II (SPH-L900)/Modems/One-Click
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sbuxreg:
i was able to use the 1 click to get back to LJC but flashing modem.bin via odin 3.07 using the "phone" button still yields a failing result. when trying to flash the MA5 modem in this manner.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sbuxreg:
finally just installed the rooted version and TWRP and flashed as instructed. More work than i wanted to do but well worth the effort.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] kingdazy:
I was told (by Garwynn) that the modems from the leaks (dumps) are uncompressed, and too large to Odin. The modem .bin from this leak is about 90MB, vs a tar (straight from Samsung) modem is about 20.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] coiledwire:
Cool. I odin'd modems all day long on the e4gt, so I assumed it would be the same here. Thanks for the clarification.

Sent from my SPH-L900
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
Those were from Sammy. Dumps have always been zip only. Have yet to figure out how they comressed the modem space. Maybe need to build into new fat16 fs?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] formuk:
Everyone, I have run into a problem and I need your assistance.

Great rom and all but after flashing this, I've lost TWRP. Understandable.

Now I want to flash it back, I tried downloading the GN2 toolkit and flash thru odin.. everything finishes as it should but it stays on stock recovery.

Help my good xda people!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dutchman71:
I had the same issue, I flashed through Goomanager and it worked...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] formuk:
Giving this a try now...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwilco12:
You just need to flash TWRP. I used the GooManager app to do it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobrel:
Thanks for the info but i rooted my phone before i saw your reply.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] austinbrady:
You can install clockwork, it will ask you if you want to prevent stock recovery from being reinstalled. Say yes, reboot and flash the other one. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] neudof:
If you want google wallet working on ma5 install the apk in this post..

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jamesey:
You modem junkies kill me. Instead of flashing modems just update your profile. It's called the "The Placebo Effect" :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] MiguelHogue:
I don't see how that's a placebo effect when modems work different for people especially in various areas

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] digiblur:
Rolls eyes.. Works better in certain areas? LOL. Just like a PRL upgrade gives you better speeds right?

Sent from my little Note2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Modems really do work better for different people not necessarily because of the area but slight hardware differences. Area does have a little bit to do with it as older towers communicate slightly different from upgraded towers :thumbup: PRL only gives you better roaming capabilities and better tower acquisition due to the newer towers added to the list. Profile updates are what really improve data speeds as they refresh the auth keys for handshakes between device and tower which gives you a more reliable and consistent connection

I like to break stuff! :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] digiblur:
New towers on the list? Seriously? Think you need to read the article in my sig. Not sure if it shows while I am mobile though.

The modems will work the same. It's all a placebo, just like a PRL update gives better speeds. Profile updates don't give you better speeds either. Sigh.... The myths that continue to carry on.

Gotcha a PRL that will make the phone roam on VZW LTE too! ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] pongoface:
I was in Webster, NY today. Flashed ljc modem and rom plus fix. Then updated profile. Averaged 900mbps. Then restored ma5 rom plus modem. Then updated profile. Averaged 2300mbps. Did this 3 times.

I am a numbers person. Sorry but the ma5 modem did outperform the ljc modem by a leaps and bounds in my tests today.

Tests were performed in the exactly same location.

Yes. On sprint. I've done this 2 days in a row. I've been working at this job site for 5 months. Always under 750kbps.

Switched the modem 2 days ago and noticed the crazy speed. Where I live that is the first time I have seen 2.5mbps on 3g. Took the speedtest with my father's evo 3d and the highest it ran was 1.7mbps. The phones were right next to each other.

Don't under estimate the placebo effect. the new hair growth industry gets billions from it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
You do realize they add towers you're allowed to roam off of to the PRL(preferred roaming list) correct? And profile updates refresh the auth keys between your device and tower which allows for faster acquisition and better communication, ie better signals and speed. Modems are dependant on hardware as even the same model antennas all reaxt slightly different to the same software. :rolleyes:

Oh yeah and roaming on vzw lte isn't possible only because of broadcast frequencies if they used the same frequency it would be possible to hack into their lte network.

I like to break stuff! :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] digiblur:
There are NO towers in a PRL. Not a single one at all.

And yes I know about the VZW LTE I was being stupid right back to the inacurrate rumors spewed threw this thread.

Ok so forgive my noobness...I understand this is a tar an it needs to be flashed with odin...

Im still learning about the differences in modems, but my understanding is that roms are backwards compatible but not forwards..?

So...if I was to update the modem to MA5 how would that effect what roms I may use?

I see so many people asking these types of questions...lol this should be easier than this...
