Hello Sot,

after several days of intensive testing, and playing around with your rom I can just say PERFECT - many thanks for that.

I've flashed quite a lot of roms on my Note 2, never tried SOTMAX HD before, WHY?

This gives me the best battery life and thanks to simplistic quite a lot of customisation, I really like the stock white signals.

After the problems in the beginning with the wifi, they were gone after 3 days, without changing anything :confused:

After the first flash the battery was down after 3 days, with a lot of downloading (due to the wifi probs) installing and playing around.

2nd cycle had some wakelocks caused by whatsapp, but version 2.11.5 fixed that and everything is great again.

It's also the first time, that I don't change to another rom, when Samsung released new FW, cause it's running toooo good. :laugh:

Nevertheless, would be great if you could look in the new firmware, and if it's worth it, give us some more awesomeness :highfive:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sotmax:
Thank you my friend. Really glad you like it.

I m on deep looking at latest fw trying to figure out if it s worth moving to that.

If yes then sometime inside this week i will release a new version... :D:D:D

i install simplistic framework but there is no option full transparent
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] lee yun khong:
Congratulate to sotmax again, you did it again.

After skipped V7, V8, V9. Finally V10 able to match V6 battery performance.

Im on 2nd cycles of battery life with 3rd parties gallilio battery ( not samsung original battery).

With my 3rd parties battery, im able to last longer up 1 day and 5.5 hours on screen time.

Hopefully I can get 7hours on screen time with samsung original battery which can be achieved easily on V6.

Which Kernel is best for this rom?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sotmax:
Neak and saber are the best. Redpill also is very good.

Neak targeting on battery life whole saber targeting to performance but have acceptable battery life also.

I m currently using saber 25 which is the best for me....

How can we increase the volume in this rom?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] steven8590:
You can use alsa mixer from playstore sometimes it does work. If you are using Saber Kernel it has voodoo app and if you are using Near it has the boeffla sound engine, which you can find in the playstore.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sotmax:
If you choose saber,neak or redpill kernel, in general whatever other than stock,all have sound engines inside my friend. Hardly you will find something louder that those.

Redpill drives wolfson audio cheap and neak also with boeffla mod and saber has voodoo sound build in...

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] MylleZ:
This is a great rom. Super fast, smooth and stable.

The only thing that is not on top is the battery life while on standby. I think it drains faster than normal. I am using the saber kernel, and I guess it drains more battery because of the oc.

I guess the battery will get better with some charges and discharges. I am currently with 1d12h of usage, 3h30 of screen time and 32% of battery remaining. I guess this smoothness cost me about 1 hour of screen on time - I can maybe get 5h of screen on till it discharges (on the official rom I would go as far as 6h or more with my usage).

But I am liking it a lot.

Great job.

Cheers ;)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] geekynoob:
check for wakelocks..!

and i love stock kernel..! but again its totally ur preference.. :)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sotmax:
6 hours of screen time here and occasionally some minytes more. Check if you have wakelocks from an app or something. I m using saber 25. Seems that 32 drains a little....

) ) ) over the air on GN2 ( ( (
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] MylleZ:
I am using saber 25 also. Last night I put it on charge at 15% and 5h of screen on. It's not bad. It depends on what I'm doing. I always use maximum screen brightness, and currently I am in a low signal area. I will wait for some more discharge cycles (the battery life usually gets better after some cycles).

I am liking this kernel and it's overall smoothness.

Does N.E.A.K kernel perform as well as saber?

Once again congrats on the rom. I was using Alliance and I was pleased with that rom, but this one seems just a bit faster and smooth...

I will leave feedback in a few days.

Cheers ;)

Voodoo sound

Voodoo sound aint working I got that message.. Unfortunately voodoo sound had stopped .. I'm using saber kernel 25..

Install again. Not sure were it's pointed. Look in /system/app or /data/app for the voodoo apk click it and overwrite existing app.

If you look at OP you ll see that i have attached the app to re install it if you face problems .

Grab it from there and install it as a normall app ,replacing the existing one.

Is in data/app but seems that aroma do what it can to install it faulty. There must have something to do with the binary as if you navigate to the folder that the app is and press on it to reinstall it is working fine....

Check with cpu spy if your cpu is stuck at a higher frequency. Betterbatterystats will also inform you about any battery hungry process.

Thanks , will check & let you know if the battery is OK..

Also, i dont see any clear button on the notification dropdown menu...how do i get it back?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sotmax:
Thats just not normal even for a crappy rom.

Your battery is 3100mah.

You have very high drain so check for active apps or wakelocks in general.

I m draining 1-2% per hour in standby mode and even in high usage dont have that results...

You will see clear button at upper right when you have notifications...

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] niioto:
Thanks Geekynoob! I tested with another card formatted to fat32 and the rom sees it.

I am loving the rom but cannot format my 64GB card to fat32.

Sotmax - Will there be support for Exfat format sdcards??

Cheers,
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] geekynoob:
Thanks is supposed to be pressed :P

Any ways.. Exfat is dependent on kernels.. Not the rom.. U need to check the kernel which supports exfat.. as far as i know devil doesnt support it.. Neither does Neak or persues..!

Stick to stock and Stick to Fat 32 :)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sotmax:
You can easily format it with a partition manager tool my friend without a single problem.

Grab easus partition manager from here and just format it.

Remember to take a backup of course.

Hi Sotmax,

I have a minor issue (I have no idea whether it is the rom or the carrier). At the moment I am abroad and when I receive calls from numbers which are not coming from my country of origin they are all displayed with this extension +41708 before the proper extension e.g. +41708 and then the proper number with the proper extension added to +41708. This happens even if I have the number saved in my contacts. This only happened while roaming.

It is not a big deal but I have refused to answer calls before I realised this.

Thanks for your help
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] tweeny80:
I tried Sotmax several months ago right after after rooting my N2. Went on from there and tried many many other ROMs. Latest ROM I used was with MG1 base. I think it is newer than Sotmax base? Some feedback - battery drain was highest I've experienced since rooting. In my humble opinion, stay away from MG1.

So I'm back here, downloading Sotmax v10. This ROM has far less customisation & features than many others, but to me that is the drawcard. Its inevitable too many tweaks and mods have slightly negative impact on user experience even though they add features. Why do I get frustrated at lag when switching between home screens? The odd reboot shouldn't wreck my day - but these things do matter to me! A lot! Call me a shallow person, whatever, but here I am back where I started.

Living without xposed DPI ability will be a new way of life, so say a prayer for me, and look for the glare in the sky, it will be the sunshine reflecting off my smiling face as I play with my smooth N2. No I am not drunk. Cheers Sotmax
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sotmax:
Sadly i cannot reproduce that as i m not in roaming my friend.

If that happens while roaming inside your

country then may be normal. If it happens outside then we have to find one more situation to start digging into it.

Rhank you my friend.

Glad you like it.

2 days ago a user send me a pm on fb and ask me why i m not upgrade my rom to mg1 and was the exactly answer.

Apart from that i like my roms to be stable and not updating them just for changing the version number

Mg1 have nothing more that a different modem in general.

About customizations i like them too but as op said i dont want to slow down your device but to make it sharper and better with a greater battery life.

Customizations are plenty enough in themes and apps sections so no need to add them inside a single file ;)

For photo editing I use on my device PS Touch from Photoshop. It is a good quick editor with some nice effect and layer editing stuff. Loki kernel support voodoo. There is voodoo sound plus apk for it. And I control loki kernel with CPU adjust app. You can set profiles with this app for gpu, cpu, and voltage. Realy nice app. Well more test to come. Tnx again.

with stock rom i get about 17500 points in antutu and with your rom with default installation and default neak settings i get about 16000 points.

on the other hand, your rom has one of the best battery life.

did you deliberated lowered the speed of the rom for getting better battery life?

thank you!
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sotmax:
This one is kernel related my friend.

With this kernel you cannot reach high score in benchmarks but is flawless comparing to others.Benchmarks never showing full kernel potentials so i dont trust them too much.

Power is unleashed as in every rom i release.

If you change kernel you will see better score but i saw better scores in past while performance was not so good ;)
