Report on the ROM after 96 hrs of usage

Hi everybody, following is my experience with this Rom after 96 hrs of usage;

Previously was on the stock 4.1.2 Rom, rooted and Redpill Kernel installed.

Did a clean install using Philz Recovery after a full wipe as per instructed, chose the stock kernel from aroma. (didn't choose devils'since some users seem to be having FCs with it)

Problems I faced:

1) Immediately it was apparent that the WiFi was not working, i.e the WiFi toggle switch refused to stay in the on position, and kept returning to the off position. flashed the WiFi patch with PC Odin. This solved the toggle problem but I still couldn't connect as I kept getting an "Authentication Error" Re-flashed the Rom and this solved the problem, and now the WiFi works perfectly.

2) On one occasion few hours after the installation, black horizontal lines appeared on the screen which progressively became thicker until they merged with each other to give a completely black screen. Only way i could get the phone to work after this was to reboot by pressing the power button for 10 seconds. This happened only one time and never recurred.

3) When I go to settings -> device -> Lock screen -> Clock widget options -> Weather, I get the error message "Unfortunately Settings have stopped". This still persists and I can't seem to find a solution.

Functionality:

Everything including Air Command and Battery Mod works smoothly other than the Air Gestures to which i understand hardware support is missing..

I never experienced any lag, Force Closures or random reboots. The Rom appears rock stable. In fact the device seems faster and smoother, but this is just an observation and not confirmed by bench marking.

Battery life was not that great on the first day, probably because the device was doing a lot of downloads from the play Store (I didn't use Titanium Backup as there were reports that it caused a few errors in some users) and also I was experimenting a lot.

But after about 48 hours of usage the battery life is amazing, almost one and a half times more than when it was on the stock Rom!

Conclusion:

This is a great Rom which virtually converts the Note 2 to Note 3, with the added advantage of being super smooth and improved battery life! It works perfectly without any hiccups if installed correctly by following the instructions to the letter. I can definitely recommend that every GT-N7100 user upgrade their device with Dr Ketan's Custom Rom.

Three Cheers to the Doc!

there is a torrent file and a extra pcloud link also , just look at my posts from the last 10 day's
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] :
Took the plunge and jumped on this rom too! ;) after a couple of hours of tinkering I can say for sure that itss speed and smoothness are something I never saw before!

Lil question: i flashed rom and bluetooth headset fix, is there anything else I need to flash? Other fixes not included in rom and first posts?

Cheers and keep up the good work!!

Dear friend, I to have similar issues:

I had a lot of FCs and Random reboots with dirty installed v6.1. So I clean installed V6.1. Now it's much more stable , but I still get Random reboots very randomly , usually with some activity, not during Standby like before with the dirty install, but still every day. Your sns suggestion does not work, because I disabled it during ROM install, Removed it like Bloatware, so I don't even haven't in my App manager anymore. Please advise on this matter.

Thank you.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] aliza:
No FC's nor reboots in 4 days !!!

Thanks Dr. Ketan

can i ask you a couple of questions

- Where is located the sound that makes the device when unlocked with "light effect". I'd love to use it in notiffications but I founded only the fisrt "part" of the sound in system.

- Any way to change the top bar to transparent?

Thanks !!!

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Miaxus:
Tried to install it today, I followed the instructions but when the installation finishes and i reboot the phone by recovery, it doesn't start but remains blocked in the galaxy note 2 screen, i Tried waiting foto 2 or 3 minutes but nothing happens.

What can be the problem? In aroma installer I put devil kernel, and some tweak

EDIT:

I just tried installing the rom without kernel or mods, but only the "no network" fix but it's the same situation, it remains on "Samsung galaxy note II" screen..

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] mcpdigital:
Dr. Ketan's ROM is very stable in my opinion.

Reading other posts I can find lots of people having reboot problems and strange FCs.

I do not have any of those symptoms. Using it since the odexed version, installed the latest V 6.1 first over V5 and no problems at all. Later I did a full wipe, installed again and restored apps only using Titanium Backup. The same, no problems.

I'm using the stock kernel and old bootloader with wi-fi patch.

Note 3 apps works as expected and make the device pretty awesome.

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] mamran:
Its definitely not kernel or rom related...100% sure..

Check yr ROM n kernel installation again....

Do clean wipe.. Flash v6.1 rom n choose stock kernel frm aroma...

Once completed n reboot.. setup phone n then only flash kernel in recovery.....

It works fine for me...no lag..no crash..n superfast...

I dun tweak cpu too much.... so i only use setcpu to set profile to overclock to 1800 only when surfing n utube...otherwise it stays at 1600 max
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Miaxus:
I read that installation may lasts 5 to 15 minutes, but.. is it the part with the progress bar (on my phone it's just 4 or 5 seconds) or the time that the phone use to reboot? (so the problem is that I just have to wait in the "gt n7100 screen)

Same happen to me every time i decide to put the Rom on my phone.

Last time i got 2 reboots in 2 hours work with the Rom.First time just open ES File and = reboot.Second time i open some application and again reboot.

If somebody have solution or answer what cause this let us know.

I really like dr.ketan-s work but my experience with Rom stops me of using it.

My friend, thanx alot for trying, but I did all those steps (wipe data (factory reset) from stock recovery, then flash Philz and Rom), and my v6.1 after this CLEAN install still has the same said issues: totally Random reboots when using any app, as well as occasional random FC.

Since this is not just mine issue, can someone please advise on this matter? Thanx alot.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] onkai:
i have two random reboots the last two days,both are soft reboot, i didn't install any new apps at all, it just happens all of a sudden, and one tremendous lag last night for no reason.......i am going to do the ultimate clean flash again today, and select stock 4.3 kernel to try out...i really like this rom...don't want to go back to 4.1.2...but i also need a stable rom. This time i will not touch the Titanium backup, see how;s the rom go....

i got force close most of the time when i was using dolphin browser, chrome...

i am going to do the same routine, disable battery saving, disable SNS, disable Chrome beta, not install TB, may be even try using the old MJ5 baseband...did some research that radio reception sometimes will also cause reboots, will report back.

Thanks for the reply.

I've did a clean install (full wipe, and wiped dalvik cache), but I've selected Devil Kernel in Aroma as first option, didn't flashed the stock before.

I'll try the way you've told (first flash with stock kernel, configure, then flash devil kernel) :good:

I must admit tonight I got first reboot from nowhere.... when instaling some app.I will monitor little more but we can ask dr.ketan about this .A number of reasons can be a couse of rebooting...I my self never liked TB at all cousing much pain...

Report on Battery Life

Report on Battery life.

I have been using this Rom for almost a week now and this is my experience with regard to its battery life:

Typical Usage-

Bluetooth is always on

WiFi is always on

Email and accounts are set to sync every hour

Screen time out is set for two minutes of inactivity

As a busy surgeon I get quite a number of calls but typically they last only a few minutes

I don’t play a lot of games just Temple Run 2 and Bubble Shooter occasionally

Read emails and browse the Web fairly extensively.

With the above typical usage, when I was on the stock Rom after about 12 hours on the battery I used to have about 20% of battery life left. (I usually charge overnight and disconnect from the charger at 6 AM and by around 7 pm I have about 20% left)

On Dr Ketan’s Rom with the same usage even after 1 day and 5hrs (29 hours) of usage I still have 35% of battery left! (Please see attachment.)

I think the battery life of this Rom is simply amazing!
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] KRISTIJANJE:
This is the ROM is the rason I rooted my phone.I wanted to try out air command.To bad it is to unstable for every day use, I averaged 5-6 random reeboots a day. Went back to stock 4.3 knox free.

Mainly facebook causes the phone to freeze and later I have the REBOOTS. Sometimes for two days it is fine and later it is up to 5 reboots per day. I do not think that it is specific to Dr. Ketan's Rom, Many with the Stock 4.3 w/Knox have the same problem too. My EMMC is the insane one, so I guess this might have a part in that too.

Hope this helps.
