It's kinda funny cause last night I had emailed some slim devs asking if they would bring slim to us and then the next day we Have a rework of it.

I believe this to be the fastest, smoothest, fluent and graphic glitch free AOSP so far. All is perfect so far... I need to study audios and GPS before calling it the hands down best

Also I am digging the KLP theme

And the I truly love the animations

Can we get a link to the kernel.baked into the ROM.? I would like to dabble with Devil or Plasma just to see how they play but in case they don't do well with this I'd like to return back to the kernel initially baked in.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kisypher:
I'm a Stock ROM kinda guy, but after reading the glowing reviews of this ROM I may just give it a try.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RemnantKing2:
Let me another +1 to comment on how smooth this ROM is, didn't think I'd be going back to AOSP but this was too tempting. Everything just flows, its so fluid.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
How is the volume compared to the volume in other 4.2.2 roms?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] taintstick666:
I absolutely love this rom and have only one minor issue, that's with the volume. Its a little low to me but I'll report back if I find a work around or any other issues. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ohh_Trenton:
Volume is going to be low around all aosp roms for a while. At least until CM Commits show a fix/change in the volume. Once that is fixed in the CM thread, then all aosp roms merge those changes into their own build. There are workarounds in the meantime and i believe Shangrila has posted one in the plasma kernel thread. Just the latest 411 for ya.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] codygs83:
Like I said. This has been a problem for all aosp roms. You are absolutely correct. Its not the kernel. Its the cm base they are built off if. However. The proper kernel fixes these sound issues.

And I do apologize Obama.

That's sounds so weird. Haha. I never thought those words would have come out of my mouth. Ever.

But I have little patience for ignorance on here.

I myself am new to the note 2 and had the exact same issues you have had.

However, a quick search would answer these questions. Besides the fact you evidently ignored my first piece of advise. That's the reason I get frustrated.

Flashed this with neak and have zero speaker playback

Edit. Flashed plasma - all is well
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ahjee:
have you tried running this rom with the kernel that's baked into it? I only ask because when running this rom, the kernel baked in works very very well, seems smoother and more stable than Plasma, Neak or Devil kernel

hm idk I've ran every aosp rom with neak kernel and my phone is running as smooth as butter

im not saying Neak doesnt run well, it does, however in some cases, such as this rom, MY phone runs better overall with the baked in kernel

Love this rom the only problem I have is s-Note . there anyway you can bring that back in the next build?......
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lighty0uup:
SNote requires some things from TouchWiz to work properly. But there are other apps put there that will give you pretty much the same functionality.

This will bring back the detection when you remove and insert the spen: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tushar.cmspen

And this is one of the few apps that you can use in place of snote: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.steadfastinnovation.android.projectpapyrus

Hope this helps.

Loving this ROM - smooth and great features. Will just like to request 1 thing - can you add a Choose font option in the settings? The default font looks bad in some apps e.g. Gmail and Google currents.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ahjee:
When you selected that 2G only option it probably changed which signal type the radio is looking for...

try this, open dialer>*#*#4636#*#* (this will bring up a menu)>select Phone Information, scroll down and you'll see what kind of signal the radio is searching for, make sure it says LTE/CDMA and not GSM/CDMA or something,...if that doesn't work reflash the rom over itself and see if that helps
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jewnersey:
Few issues I've had.

I use a bluetooth adapter in my car that can answer and end calls. Answering works just fine, but the phone soft reboots after 15 or so seconds. Ending the call causes an immediate reboot.

Other issue is that after making a call (non-bluetooth), if I try to make another immediately after, it won't work. I hit send, it shows the calling screen, but instantly says 'call ended'. This happens for over an over until I let it sit for a little while.

Other than that... Perfection.

I'm looking forward to using 4.3, but take your time, get it right, just like you got 4.2.2,

a xDA friend told me to try out your ROM, and he's right it's a great ROM. The only one to top your is liquid smooth, mainly because of their badass boot animation. Truthfully your is nice, little boring, but at least it's quick. So please put some thought into making a sick boot ani with 4.3.

I didn't mean anything by it, other than putting your ROM in the company of liquid smooth, and carbon, which are better versions of CM, and are, in my humble opinion the best available ROMs for the Note 2. So I said your boot animation is boring. Anyone want to argue it isn't. You have a great ROM, make a killer ani, and yours is arguably the best. I'm just encouraging you with criticism. I'm sorry if my criticism is taken as anything but encouragement. It's one of my faults, I'm direct.

I wasn't wholely basing my judgement on the boot ani, but it is part of it, is it not. Every time you start your phone, you see it.

Two custom cars could have the same engine, ignition, suspension, similar audio systems, but if one has a custom paint job, and the other has stock paint.... There's a significant difference. That's all I was saying, and I know how to change the boot ani, but have you seen Liquids smooth's, it's sweet!

Sleep issues

I did a quick search in the thread and didn't find anything so I will ask. Is anyone having an issue with the screen not going to sleep? I have messed with different settings in display and I cant get my screen to turn off. I have it set to 15 seconds and when the duration is up it just dims the screen not actually turning it off. Obviously I am not getting very good battery life with this if the screen isn't shutting off. Any help would be appreciated!

Hey just a few questions, I am about to do my first flash on my note 2 and I am looking for a fast stable rom with many many features. I like the look of this rom but it doesn't specify if all the original note 2 features are included such as multi window and the s apps or if that is a touch wiz thing. I would like to have all the features the n2 comes with stock but also have all the sweet new stuff like the new notification bar and halo and full multi window app support. Does this rom have that kind of stuff? Sorry for the noob ness.

Sent from my Verizon GN2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] veloct:
That's touch wiz, you'll loose all those capabilities on AOSP roms. There are options to regain some of them via other software. Do a search for those.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mayorblurps:
If you want a stable stock like experience, try jelly'beans' or cleanROM. Illusion is basically a vanilla android build, not android with samsung's touch wiz base with the features that you want. If I were you, start with a TW ROM until you get your feet wet by reading reading and reading the threads. That being said though, illusion is my favorite AOSP, with beans being my daily driver TW ROM. With every ROM you give up something you want in order to get something else to try out. Moving up to a 4.2 or 4.3 ROM like illusion means its an AOSP build and will NOT have any stock note 2 features.

Anyone correct me if I'm wrong? I was in the same boat as the OP and started with something similar to stock (Beans) until I understood AOSP, 4.2 differences, stability of TW vs non TW ROMs, using different kernels, flashing from 4.2 back down to a 4.1.2 etc.

Basically if you want original note 2 features (S pen and S apps) go with a ROM that is TouchWiz based and most will say so in the thread title (TW and/or 4.1.2). If you want to give up the native S apps and use something similar from the play store, all while getting even more awesome features than the S apps, then go with Illusion or something similar. All depends on your needs!
