I m not abandon anything but please search a little and also understand that this is a rom in beta phase so yes will have some problems small or big.

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] AK47ita:
can I downgrade my note 2 from V12 B7 (4.3) to V11(SE) (4.1.2)

thanks
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] amnis:
I hope U saw my previous answer all i want is to help and be helped that's the reason of a forum on XDA.

I also have a work +2 kids but i try to test your ROM!

So because i like your work here i put your ROM on my phone in order to help U finding bugs and fix them.

I'm anxious about that, if it's bad forgive me!

So read this: it took me 3 hours to flash again my phone and restore it with clear flash-reset but the problem with Action memo is the same!

Thank U +respect U!

;)

---------- Post added at 09:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:09 PM ----------

I have not try it!

Have U done the same procedure of upgrading and did not worked?

-Place zip file in your sd card ( internal memory preffered )

-Reboot into recovery (hold volume up, home button and press power)

-Make a nandroid backup just in case

-Wipe dalvik & cache

-Wipe data factory reset(skip that only if you wish to keep your data.Not recommended)

-install zip from memory (internal or external)

-Reboot

I also do not know if U can restore 4.3 program's backup data!

:(

I want to do this to downgrade my note 2 but I'd like to know if there are known problems

EDIT: downgrade to 4.1.2 done, all works fine!

I think a MK4 update is necessary now. Not another MI6 or MJ5 release. Better we wait more time and get a custom rom based on the latest official release
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sotmax:
Redirecting.

Will release in next couple of days tomorrow or after tomorrow MK4.

Is better faster and thickness is already changed to normal....
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] slk-A4:
Hi Sotmax,

I have flashed many of your versions from B1 onwards.

What is MK4? I thought it is Android 4.3

Could you please explain?

Thanks for your excellent work!!!
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sotmax:
Latest version my friend.

And as MI6 working fine thought is better to release the latest version...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] slk-A4:
thanx, but I still do not understand, do you mean the last version, so there will be no update anymore, or what do you mean? What is MK4? Sorry for my stupid questions.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] melodystyle2003:
MK4 is the latest leaked build for note 2. Also official 4.3 for the note 2 (India) have been released, thus we should wait for final custom builds!

Sotmax means that the previous leaked version update he has prepared works fine so he will release it (perhaps).

Sotmax keep up the good work when you have time ;)

Great ROM! I love the Note 3 stuff that's in there!

I've come across some odd behaviour using this ROM with respect to my Google Account. Sometimes (and it's difficult to reproduce), after rebooting the Note2 my Google account is lost and I'm prompted to select a new Backup account.

This means that I frequently have to re-register my Google account (and re-set some preferences). Is this a known issue?

Looking forward to the next build and thanks for the hard work :)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sotmax:
All those are fixed already.

I have to inform all of you that we are a great big team with DN3 so expect the best as we are fill of great people in there and here :)

Should we do any kind of backup and restore after flash?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] djibril13:
Can I restore previous multi window behavior ?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] slk-A4:
V13 all okay

Hi Sotmax,

I can report as follows

:

Installed V13 after I installed the new bootloader and after wiping dalvik and cache.

All went fine, except for this:

when I performed a reboot the phone was stuck on the Samsung GT7100 text for at least 10 minutes.

I switched it off and then it rebooted as it should, all is fine now.

Everything works perfectly, I really hope the loss of the Google account is solved, because that was the only annoying bug in V12 B7.

Thanx again and keep up the good work! :D:D

V12 has absolutely amazing battery life, I'm in no rush to update until something amazing is added to the updates, or it's released from beta.

Thank you and keep up the great work! :good::fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] iceblade997:
Yeah, strongly considering going back to it. I can't seem to get much past 4 hours of screen time on beta 7 and having flashed the latest version it seems to be the case again, despite having all the power saving options enabled, greenify etc, where before on v12 it was easy to pull 6 hours. I mean, I love the ROM (I find it hard to enjoy other ROMs haha) and 4.3 is pretty cool but I do miss the battery life...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] slk-A4:
I had the same idea everytime I flashed a new version of V12.

But after charging a couple of times, batterylife became outstanding again, so I will stick to V13 now and charge a few times, I hope battery life will become better.

Of course I realise, that smart scroll, when having that enabled, will suck the battery.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sotmax:
i will have a look my friend.

Confirmed is not working
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sotmax:
Exactly.

Thats one reason why i m not updating frequently if its not any heavy bug inside

Fw needs always some cycles to settle .
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sotmax:
Do you have an efs backup?

Check your imei please by dialing *#06# and compairing your imei with the one on your box package.

Samsung are known of efs prblem some times.

I have also a notice in 1st post
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] iceblade997:
What kind of life do you get, especially screen on time?

Thanks! How many cycles does it usually take for the life to improve? On beta 7 it never improved despite my charging daily (I had it installed maybe a week after release until this morning) , and allowing a full discharge and charge several times.

The page buddy on home screen has been removed from this version?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Pstelios:
My problem seems solved after formating another sd card into the note and copying all of the files of my previous card to it......

Btw i took an efs backup but that was not the issue, seems that note 3 has this issue with some files (pdf) and the solution is still not clear, and since we use note 3 software parts we've got this problem from it. :banghead:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] slk-A4:
you can force the improvement by clearing the battery stats:

Do as follows:

1. dial *#0228#

2. reboot

3. let it charge to 100%

That should solve your problem. I get more than 2 days using the Note 2 frequently. And that is better than all other Samsungs I ever owned (GSG 1 an 2 and 3)

Also check if you have apps that are constantly on
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] amnis:

That's normal i guess i had the same issue!

But some other issues will be posted few hours later from me.

Help pls Main memory do not reset when i try to put new ROM!

I do the following:

1. Wipe Dalvik Cache

2. Wipe Data/Factory reset->Clean to install a New Rom

3. Wipe Cache Partition

And Main memory of Note 2 is the same at FX File browser-> Main Memory.

I mean that i see all the same files i had!

So what should i do from bootloader to reset it because maybe that's the reason for some ROM issues?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sHaHiN786:
Hey Sotmax, can you stick with the build you had on V12, its battery level is amazing, and in all honesty, of all the 4.3 ROMS I have used thus far, your V12 seems to be of the most stable.

Thanks. :good::fingers-crossed:

I m afraid you have misc files spreaded all over.

If you mean to clean up internal mem the go to recovery under mounts n storage and format /sdcard (internal) . Of course take a backup of your critical files...

Hello,

can someone please explain the wifi problems you should encounter when you don't have the new bootloader installed. I installed this yesterday and I lost my recovery mode in this process. When I tried to get the recovery mode back I soft bricked my phone. Then I could no longer install any stock Rom with Odin. With the help of Kies I managed to get a Samsung Rom on my phone. Afterwards I installed the latest 4.3 Stock Rom with the Knox Bootloader from Sammobile and Philiz Touch before I installed the V13 Version of this Rom. Everything seem to work well. But I am not sure what Bootloader I now have on my device.

Problem Note 2 Sotmax V13

@ SOTMAX

After many days of using your ROM i have to make the following statements :cowboy: :

1. I was right for the problem of Action memo it seems problem fixed but not i can not resize the window of memo!

2. Touchwise crash when you press Home button if you don't install Magazine from the ROM

3. Polaris 5 forgot to be fixed, i have mentioned it but.....

4. Every time when i reboot my Note 2 i see the message "Android is upgrating" why?

5. Can U explain the use of each line of new Sotmax reboot menu?

6. Now my windows 8 can not see my Note 2!

7. Generally phone seems to be faster!

8. I do not see any battery drain effects!

9. At Air gesture ONLY Quick glance is working.

10. Have some issues from some apps that reboots for no reason that i do not had with V12 B7

11. I can not remove Roaming Menu from notification!

12. Setting->Clock widget option-> Weath when pressed make settings to restart.

13. Travel Wallpapers are the best!

14. Mulltiwindow seems a little slower

15. Now when receive a call i can not see in full screen the photo of the caller.

16. Upgrade the version of FX file explorer on ROM installation.

17. I have told that Samsung HUB is NOT working but with this ROM works like a charm both Video, Books and Games ...HERE!

18. S Health pedometer is not Working.

That's for the moment hope to apπreciate :silly:

If you already have MK4 Bootloader installed on your phone then you got no problems. We were supposed to avoid MK4 Bootloader because it doesn't allow Android downgrading at the moment. So with it this ROM would work well. I am also using MK4 Bootloader.
