Thank you very much! Your instructions did allow me to modify the file names as stated. I'm also having the same problem as partyman. I know you weren't claiming to fix that, but if you or anyone else knows how to get rid of the system update notification that would be great!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] chzeckmate:
Okay, so I'm just grasping at straws so here goes. After renaming the otacerts.zip file to otacerts.zip.bak do a refresh in ES to make sure the name change sticks. Assuming that is does then go ahead and accept the update. After you accept the update then go into your device menu and tap system update. Now tap update firmware and see what happens.

Also when you rename the otacerts file....does it still look like a zip file or does the icon change to a question mark? It should look like the image I've attached. If it still looks like a zip file then rename it from otacerts.zip to otacerts.bak take out the "zip" I had a similar issue once before ...let us know.

Regards,

chzeckmate

sluggish thuggish bone

hey, any tips for this...been running MacksRom for quite a while now but last two weeks ive been dealing with some sluggishness. Delay responces to touch, swipe...any recommendations???
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sliverr7x:
Try and delete cache in recovery once or reboot your phone a couple of times or reflash a new kernel or just reflash the rom just some ideas that may help... I've been running this rom since the6th never had a hiccup in performance

Rockin it from my Macknote2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jerdoggmckoy:
Yes, my file does look like that now. It didn't at first until I rebooted and tried it again. After I renamed it to just otacerts.bak, removing the ".zip" extension, I haven't seen the system updater show up at all yet. Anyone know if there is anything important in that system update? Thanks again!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Wattser93:
Has anybody had issues with the screen staying black after phone calls as if your face is still up to the phone? I tried to make a call today and once the call initiated, the screen stayed black and I couldn't hang up once it went to voicemail. Touching the screen had no effect nor did manipulating the volume rocker, power button, or home button. I had to do a battery pull to fix it. I made a couple more calls today and had the same problem about 50% of the time. If the person on the other end hangs up, then my phone will start to respond again, but as long as they're still on the other end, my phone will stay black and unresponsive.

This is the first time in the past 2 month running the ROM that I've noticed it so I'm not sure what could have caused it to happen to recently.

Should I wipe cache and/or dalvik cache?

That's great! I'm happy I could help. By the way it may appear as though I posted this to take a bow or something but really I just wanted to make a post with a good searchable title so the other guys that experience this will have a better time when they start thread searching.

I highly recommend keeping this zip on your SD card. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2020655

It's an AROMA based installer for boot animations. I like using the MS Dos boot (for fast booting devices). Very simple and dark and still very cool.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] chzeckmate:
Have you pulled the battery and tried to power back up yet? That's your first step. If you've done that and still get stuck on the Samsung logo then you're screwed and it's time to buy a new device...JUST KIDDING!!! Just Odin back to stock and you'll be fine in ten minutes.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jeeplj8:
yep - pulled battery, tried again. wiped, installed again, nothing.

what happens if I just go back to TWRP and try to install a different ROM?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] the_plattypus:
Do that. Go to recovery, wipe and flash.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] chzeckmate:
You can install another ROM but don't be so hasty to give up on this one. I didn't realize you were able to get back into TWRP. Check it out...My first two downloads of MacksROM were bad downloads and I got a good one on the third download. Try to redownload the ROM and make sure you have a rock solid connection. There are other good ROMs but I'd hesitate to settle for a different one. JMHO

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] chzeckmate:
Well here you can see what PoD_Hazard had to say about it several pages back. Quite a few other people have flashed MC2 and report all is well. Make a nand and give it a try for yourself then add your experience to the collective.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jeeplj8:
roger that - did both actually.

downloaded and installed carbon ROM since the file size is pretty small. It installed fine. SO I went back, did another wipe in TWRP and started with a fresh download of Mack 3.5. This time got to to the MAckentosh animation and then hung up. Grrrr.....

SO I went back to TWRP, wiped everything again, and installed 3.5 again - and now it works. Hoorah.

For my next trick...anyone have the apk for either the HTC email/outlook client or just the AOSP one? For some reason the Samsung based email client will not play nice with my outlook server. I booted up my EVO LTE last night just to check and see, and sure enough it works fine as usual with outlook server, but the same problem I had with the GS3 is on the GN2 and since this ROM uses the same client, it popped up again. Thanks in advance to anyone who can send me the apk.

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] chzeckmate:
I'm happy to hear you got everything sorted. As for the email, shiftr182 and a few others covered this. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=33402676#post33402676 ...Hope that helps.

quick question. Has anyone had any issues with audio not being loud? When my phone is hooked up to my car and listening to music if I max out my stereo its loud but not nearly as loud as my phone used to be or any other device I connect to the car stereo.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Flak:
That process is not working for me at all. I've verified with various file explorers that the file name is changed. The icon does change to a ?. But the ota update prompt comes back everytime I reboot the phone.

And this fix:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=30787965&postcount=1

Doesn't work either, I'm assuming because the only part of that fix that I find on my phone is the otacerts.zip. The Fota folder does not exist, the fota apk does not exist. The fw apk does, but freezing/removing that and also renaming otacerts.zip isn't getting rid of the notification for me. It comes back after a reboot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] chzeckmate:
For my own clarification...before you do the reboot of your device you are tapping to accept the update...right? If you haven't tapped on accept update then please do that and let us know how everything goes for you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Flak:
I just did a clean flash again. Removed fwupgrade.apk, rebooted, told the ota update to "install now". It switched to the restart to install option. Hit that, window then goes to the update completed successfully window (phone never reboots). And now I haven't seen it since, have rebooted quite a few times now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] THEGUYRock:
Worked great for 2 days than I started getting constant freezes, and a notification that "chameleon has stopped working". I wiped everything, factory reset, even formatted internal and external SD cards. Mounted it put the good ROM download on the clean card and reintalled and bam same issues right away. I really like this ROM I hjope I can figure this out. Re-downloading it now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] chzeckmate:
Great!...I'm glad it worked for you. I know how annoying the update notification can be.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] chzeckmate:
I am assuming that you were coming from another ROM otherwise I expect you'd have already accepted the MA7 update. Which ROM were you coming from? ...possibly an LK8 build ROM? I'm going somewhere with this but let me just mention that the chameleon errors from my experience were all related to LK8.

Whatever the situation actually is I want to mention Billboard412's awesome fix for this problem (which I also experienced previously). I'd recommend going to his thread and follow the instructions. It worked like a daisy for me.

Is anyone having serious lag problems lately? I was on 3.3 and it ran great. Upgraded to 3.5 over top and it began to crawl. Went back to a nand backup of 3.3 and it was fine for a day or so then serious lag to almost unusable. I don't download many programs so I'm thinking it must be an update of some program that's causing it? I'll reboot and everything is quick for a couple hours then serious lag. I've tried reflashing the stock kernel to different versions of perseus and all with the same result. Help! My note has never done this.

You need to use Morphology. Search the site for that and Mac's updater. Once you run Mac's updater (in recovery), you can flash Morphology (also through recovery) and change just about every visual on your phone.

I had to use the xposed installer and wallet patch found in the wallet thread to open the wallet app. Had been stuck on device failing to update until about 3 days ago, and it finally updated for using payments.

Currently using 3.5, mc2 all in one firmware, stock kernel. Good luck to you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jettubby:
I did not know that. I did notice that Sprint service in the Charlotte area has been bad the last week or two. I appreciate the info. I don't however think that is the issue that i'm having. After rebooting the phone is really fast as it always has been. After about 15hours or so it slows to being unusable. It doesn't crash but I can't even flip screen to screen or open a program. I have to reboot. There must be a program with a memory leak or something??? Still trying to figure it out.

This ROM is great :)

I came over from Whompasaurus. Aroma Installer on Whomp doesn't seem to get along with my phone.

I installed this via TWRP 2.5 and now my indoor 4g and 3g work flawlessly.

I think something in Aroma doesn't get along with TWRP 2.5 since I had to reflash 2-7 times for the thing not to freeze on Whompasaurus.

Both are great stable roms so I recommend either.

**Looks like the flashlight doesn't stay-on on MacksROM or on Whompasaurus 4.2
