Waiting for your v7 Dr. Ketan.... thanks a lot for thinking of making it n still looking after the note 2 forum development. Your work is the best. Please keep us giving sneak preview into your v7 development.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dolceka:
Hello [MENTION=3931450]dr.ketan[/MENTION]

I am working with MK4 bootloader & Android v 4.3.. If I will update my bootloader to ND3 (KitKat Bootloader), will the knox counter be reset to 0 ? Or it will be the same as it is now which is 1 ?

And if I am going to install 4.4 ROM, Is it recommended to install the KitKat bootloader or mine will be working fine ?

Thanks in advance Doc ;)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] haybill:
The general opinion is that--if moving up to KitKat 4.4.2 firmware then a change of Bootloader is a good idea--plenty of people are still using older Bootloaders but, I for one, have moved up to ND3 and it is for me definitely better--your Knox Warranty count will remain at 0x1--in other words Warranty will be lost--but yours is already.

The wifi and GPS connectivity are better with KitKat Bootloader.

Make sure that you update to ND3 Bootloader using ODIN and do not risk trying with CWM.

S5 Quick setting & Recent app panel http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=51998689&postcount=1 don't work for v6.1 for me. Any other way to enable them?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] rajmagi:
The rom keep asking me to update security policies, any fix to stop this?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] aakazh:
Freeze it with titanium or just delete security update.apk via root explorer in system/app
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Androidwizzard:
First this is made for Note 3 and may work on multiple devices but not on 4.3 JellyBean base.

So, maybe wait for upcoming V7 or try on Dr. Ketan V3 KitKat base.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] jesrani:
Sorry for posting in this thread but needed some advice. I am on ARHD v30. After flashing ND3 BL, WiFi connects but does not work. Is there any fix from Dr.Ketan for this?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
Ok now air command working fully

Action memo, scrapbook, screenwriter, sfinder and pen Window.

Also snote 3 working fine.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] mun_tez:
Thanks Dr.ketan the nite i was supposed to flash DN3 thinking that you will not come up with another version u shocked n pleased all ur admirers with the news that V7 is on the works. Take ur time now will wait till v7 comes out n after that will root my note 2 n flash your rom.

off topic question --- I have heard a lot of complains regarding battery drain in official kitkat for note 2

So what do u suggest i stay in stock 4.3 till ur rom comes out only than flash ur rom. Or i should upgrade to 4.4 kitkat official and after that flash your upcoming V7...:confused:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] haybill:
Nothing at all wrong with Dr. Ketan's ND3 Prerooted Deodexed ROM--perfect stable and everything.It is KItKat 4.4.2 and has all KitKat features--you might want to think about switching to KitKat ND3 Bootloader--if you don't care about Samsung Warranty and Knox counter.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] singhpratik87:
There's no such battery drain in 4.4.2 it's on par with 4.3. Battery drain usually occurs due to modem not due to bootloader.Bootloader is responsible for charging the battery when phone is turned off and wifi reception.Also bootloader is tied to the motherboard so installing a KNOX bootloader such as ND3 which is KK bootloader will trigger KNOX and void warranty.So my suggestion is wait for version 7,flash it ,if you experience battery drain (which i doubt you would unless you install apps that are battery hogs) then switch modems,the default one is ND3 which comes with the ROM you can try other ones from hurricane modem changer thread (use the newer ones).
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] mun_tez:
Thanks haybill really dont care about warranty. Only 4 months left of warranty since m from india so only 1 year warranty. my only worry is OTA updates of samsung if ever required or i want to do it. If i trip knox and in the way i feel like going back to stock rom n any new update comes over can i update via OTA or its also lost forever ?

---------- Post added at 06:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:15 AM ----------

Thanks a lot singhpratik i think i will wait for version 7.:good:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] haybill:
I'm not sure 100% but I believe that regardless of your Knox Warranty Count in Download mode--if you return to stock ROM you will be able to make use of OTA Samsung updates.

However, in my opinion the ROMs cooked by the good Dr. Ketan are far better than the Stock versions from Samsung--but, you are free to choose.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Cruze712:
What I am not understanding will V7 be 4.3 or 4.4.2 rom?

GALAXY NOTE II.. WHAT ELSE?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
Of course it will be 4.4.2
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] haybill:
All ND3 firmware based ROM are 4.4.2-that is what ND3 is.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Cruze712:
OK thanks, can't wait I am sure it will be just as good as your 6.1 which I have since day one

GALAXY NOTE II.. WHAT ELSE?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] rraaka:
Im still not able to solve rakein has stopped not even after wiping cache and data of related apps.....my scrapbook cannot be launched from air commands so waiting for docs solution :o

edit - sorted scrapbook :D taking rakein and scrapbook from mr Bolas thread from s5 , renaming the latter, , inserting in system app and priv-app with permissions and reboot , voila !!
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] aakazh:
Doc can u try to port pop up call ?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
yeah pop up ported
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] takkk7:
Thank you doc.:laugh::laugh:

Please check if incallui.apk is running at active apps (after you have enabled s5 popup call) and if you can disable it somehow from being shown in active apps.:p

Cant wait to try your ROM.

Take your time , dont rush! :o
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] haybill:
Is this going to come as an update--or in the next version??
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] aakazh:
Thanks doc u r great
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] rraaka:
Would flashing mods onto the rom affect the sd card fix ? my Titanium backup asks me to restore previous ID or keep new ID or ask me later after flashing mods. i have a liscensed (paid) TB.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] aBg_rOnGak:
Usually I restore previous ID; IDK if this is a good habit or not
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
Ignore It, This happens when you have backup of settings.

I prefer to ignore and keep new ID. rarely there is chance some sw give you FC if you restore App + data. but truly till now in last 3 yrs and I have 200 application, i have seen only one sw Opera (old version) was causing issue if you keep new ID.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] rraaka:
the phone reboots once if you want to keep old ID, little annoying when you are busy seeing after affects of mods and checking on system space :laugh:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
Update on V7

Ok guys today's udate :

-Modded for 30 battery module

-8Extra toggle (home,power,searc,browser,sound,music,logs and recent panel-see attachment) - This mod will be user selectable

-Quick Launch - Application icon in notification bar (see attachment) - This mod also will be user selectable

-Hidden power menu - Touching clock screen will off and long pressing will popup power menu

-Internet speed meter Lt/Rt - User selectable (pending )

-Four Pullup mod, you can replace default application with your desired one.

Launcher Bottom,Launcher side, Long press Menu, S Finder of Air command.

Plu there will be utility which may have many utilities (you can read my Note3 ROM thread post #6 for details. I will try to bring same as on note3 but let's see how much time permits)

-Basic Note3 features (probably all available in V6.1)

Ok guys probably I will update to V7 in this week and after it I will update Note3 pack for basic features.

and after above tasks I will resign from Note2 forum permanently. ( As I have said will release one official Kitkat) After this there won't be any chance of update on any of note2 topics.

Thank you all.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] haybill:
It is a sad day--but since I am running your Note 3 ROM on my N3--we will still be in touch--but many Note 2 users will be sad.

They have other options, though, I guess.

I will probably keep running this ROM, and it's forthcoming update, for a while on my N7100--it's possibly the most stable version that I have found--I like others, but for stability and reliability--this is one of the, [possibly THE], best KitKat firmware base ROMs.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] aakazh:
Doc will there be an option to choose s5 launcher or n2 launcher?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
What is there special in note2 launcher?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] rraaka:
I agree stock deodexed zip aligned ND3 v2 has been the best for me too, so far. Ive had tons of fun playing with it. Eagerly waiting for V7 because of its additional features.

I wanted to wait for Note 4 but now Im thinking of an HTC.

I like what manny has done to his thread. Instead of having a bunch of sycophants making the thread a hangout, just close it till next release.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
I am quite capable to handle it.

May be I have higher threshold. I just ignore when I feel there is nothing to answer. And seek mod interference when something beyond my capacity but closing thread just creates hype nothing else. Once this thread have daily more than 10k viewership when I was fully active here but never needed to do it.

I know how to keep things cool

:)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] aakazh:
Coz there are too many pull ups and other things thats y I prefer n2 launcher

Simple and sober
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
Launcher have only two pullup.

If you don't want just delete pullup.apk and it won't do anything
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] aakazh:
Thanks doc for the solution

And ya till now m unable to find a rom as stable as yours

Using it since its release

Thanks for your contribution ......
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] jasminedd:
Dr. Ketan. ..thank you :)

My note 2 seems to digest only your rom... Till you are with us I'll follow you :)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] voyager20021:
Anyone experiencing proximity sensor problems during calls, like screen on and off at times even if you don't take the phone off the ear? On v3 obviously.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
Checked sensor is working fine.

Dial*#0*#

Select sensor and put your hand over sensor
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
Guys which AccuWeather you want?

I think s5 is better as it will have built-in transparency option and you can select according your like.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] takkk7:
S5 please ! :)

Exactly for the built in transparency!
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] mun_tez:
S5..:good:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] majkicimo:
S5
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] o1e:
+1

S5
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] rraaka:
No doubt S5 weather widget is better but it takes up a whole lot of space in system ...even Note 3 weather consumes less than half space but I dont mind, any decision is fine.....
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
I am aware of it but don't worry size will be 1/7th of original s5.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] MarcoHafkamp:
With Knox triggered you can get ota updates only if system status is normal or original. If not, use Triangle Away

Verstuurd vanaf mijn GT-N7100 met Tapatalk
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Androidwizzard:
There are two kinds of status: custom and official

Triangle Away resets only the flash-counter (and that's not guaranteed), not the status.

Wanam can fake the status to official, but I would not wait for OTA regarding all the published new firmwares.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] MarcoHafkamp:
Flashcounter will reset if you do the right things:

Flash stock rom

Root the rom

Use triangle away and reboot to recovery (not to system!)

Factory reset and reboot to download mode (not to system!)

Flash stock rom again and reboot to system

Both flashcounter and systemstatus are ok know. Did it many times this way

Verstuurd vanaf mijn GT-N7100 met Tapatalk
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Androidwizzard:
THIS sounds completely different to the original "use triangle away" :good:

that is not common for all :good:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] haybill:
Sounds complicated-but I may well give it a try.

Why would you need to do it 'many times' just out of interest?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] MarcoHafkamp:
I do it if there's an update from Samsung (not often) and if i want to go back to stock because of the faulty camera in some customroms.

And i want the phone to be 100% stock. I know, it's freaky ;). If i could reset knoxflag, i would do that to.

Verstuurd vanaf mijn GT-N7100 met Tapatalk
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
Which theme you want to keep? first or second OR want to have both? also here S5 themed aircommand

Just note that, by default theme will be stock. you have to select from aroma.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] karan2012:
Sir first theme is really good n air command theme also Is beautiful :D
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] vladeco:
Great work Dr.! If I may offer my opinion, please keep everything stock with all modifications optional. Thanks for the great work and cheers!
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] joe.sebin:
Doc, the 1st theme is the good one i think.. also the air command theme...

Sent from my GT-N7100
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] mun_tez:
Maybe m in minority but i prefer the second theme..
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
Of course. I always prefer to keep stock as much possible and all theme related stuff will be user selectable.

No problem will keep both.

Two above said for S5 themne and two Note2 based toggle 3D (attached here)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Cocolopes:
Thanks great rom!...but there is any way you add mms, contacts and browser from s5 in v7?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] rraaka:
as long as the rom allows flexibility i dont mind which apps and themes are included

im looking forward to the little home - cooked gems Doc integrates into his rom....they are always original :good:

i cant stand a ditto of another ditto
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] mun_tez:
Dr.Ketan hopefully V7 is recovering well and everything is going according to plan and you will be able to discharge the patient V7 from hospital soon.:)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Androidwizzard:
Just a matter of interest:

New base NE1 seems to refuse to any attempt to get it pre-rooted at the moment.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
Oh yes. But actually i am quite away from note2 development and Note2 and 3 have too many differences in codes so it taking time. My priority is to make stable ROM rather than adding too many features. I prefer to have most useful basic features and try to keep as much as bug free. But it's almost finished and time to pack in aroma :)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] voyager20021:
OT

KitKat (kernel) sources released by Sammy

Now we're talking!

Dr. Ketan V7 and custom kernel.

My phone is ready...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
Probably utility have option to set on demand government with stock kernel. So who wants stock kernel can also make it battery friendly though good performance.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] mun_tez:
Thats the reason note 2 community always wait for ur cooked up roms. They are stable like rock n i think people who understand appreciate that its better to have stable rom thn have something with features from everywhere but having FC every now b then. Note was build to b a workhorse n so stability in its rom while doing basic things like using action memo while calling, spen n other such nifty features make it a beast. And thanks to you that you believe in giving us stable rom. Take ur time doc will wait n download it whenever it comes out.:good:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
All User wants to install V7 must look to this.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] karan2012:
Read the full guide

Ty sir

Now no scope of errors while flashing

P.S. just waiting for v7
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] fsmoti:
Read full guide n waiting for release
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] mun_tez:
Read ur guide doc now waiting to click the download button n experience ur awesome rom. If it gets upload before i go to sleep atleast i can start the downloading n go to sleep in peace.... human nature always impatient cant do anything about it....thanks a lot doc for taking time off ur busy schedule to give us this rom.:good:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
It will not released tonight

Just I am flashing in half an hour and will test it first.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] aakazh:
Doc can u upload v7 on mega this time?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
Done guys

So far few Minor bugs found but will take few minutes to fix

Let's see how it goes.

One more thing added to utility that it will fix titanium and SD issue on first boot so you may have not needed to do it manually. (though I am testing now and will flash few more times)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] o1e:
doc are there just the 2 stock N2 lockscreen effects, or did you put the S5&N3 ones in v7 too?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] rraaka:
[MENTION=3931450]dr.ketan[/MENTION] please include the root, deknox and busybox option in the multitool area

advance v 6 multitool is working great even now but on the newest build root doesnt survive a reboot :( ...maybe Chainfire needs to update his root app :confused:

we will remember you forever

[N7100 ND3/MK4][28april14] Prerooted,deknoxed ND3 V2+ Dr.Ketan's Custom ROM V6

So I guess it's time to upgrade from 4.1.2 soon. Is a newer kernel included in v7 or should I just flash Stock ND3 before just to get the kernel up to date?

Brgds... /Tubgirl
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Androidwizzard:
No Doc, this post is not meant for you, only commonly speaking:

Regarding all those upcoming troubles with advanced android variants and itensified security issues we suffer from a horrific loss and still hoping for someone who can fill up this gap which the resignation of Dr. Ketan leaves behind, whose footprints will stay as a reminder and challenge to all of us to improve our own abilities by reading, testing and creating new ideas.

Let us face the truth and get started :good:

---------- Post added at 06:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:29 AM ----------

There will be the ND3 Kernel inside, no need to flash it separately AND you will have to consider upgrading your bootloader at least to MJ5
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] voyager20021:
I hope dr ketan will still keep an eye on this thread for a while, at least for a test period. Although I must admit rock stable releases are usual in his case and this is his goal.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
It's endless !

Do you remember when i first time spoke to leave Note2 forum? Just when Note3 was released. But what happened that time is we have got 4.3. and myself have postponed to buy note3 bcoz became busy here. if you remember we have just leaked base, no root was working, no wifi was working and worked a lot for these stuff and later we got a way to add note3 features. meantime i have purchased note3 an resign from note2 partially but i promised to give a update when official kitkat will release. So here this update is just for fulfill promise and also I want to have a stable kitkat rom for my wife's note2 so decided to make one.

But really it's endless and I am having no more plan to work on note2. Just after updating this ROM i will update Note3 pack and that will be end of my work for note2. Here already many developers and contributors are there who are able to lead Note2 forum to a new heights.

Love you all.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Tubgirl:
Oops... I meant bootloader, not kernel. Should I flash Stock ND3 first in Odin to make sure I have a bootloader that's up to date? At first I was considering just upgrading the bootloader to MJ5 to be able to downgrade to 4.1.2 again and to not trip the Knox flag, but I've read that you get better Wifi/network if you flash the latest bootloader. Is this correct?

Or is there a bootloader included in this ROM?

Brgds... /Tubgirl
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] mun_tez:
We will miss u doc as i have no plan to buy note 3 but when note 4 comes out will upgrade to it. Hope n am sure will meet u again in note 4 forum. Till then all the best n thanks.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Androidwizzard:
In my opinion upgrade BL is a good idea, if you don't mind the loss of Samsung warranty.

There are two ways to get it done:

1. Only flash BL using PC Odin (tab BL)

2. Flash complete firmware, also PC Odin (tab PDA/AP)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
Update guys :

First of sorry, now a days very hactic schedule so can't get enough time. As said earlier there were some bugs and are fixed now.

Made some changes -

-Kept page buddy

-Utility now on first reboot auto fix data error (Titanium restore) probably you won't need it to do manually, still there is option to do manually.

-Secure setting also will be auto install

one more change i have made but right noiw forget

-My Meet here (Car parking) application added complimentory to ROM users

Found new toggle (messed up toggle Lol !) - actually i have wrongly selected S5 toogle and Image round toggle both at a time and it have produced a new toggle look here attached image

-New UI for utility

-Not saying ETA still but hopefully won't take more time.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Androidwizzard:
S5 Apps

Hello Doc,

need your opinion as THE expert:

Do you think changing the build.prop to SM-G9XXX is appropriate to let S5 music player (maybe others too) run on N2 and presumably also on N3?

S5 music player runs perfect with this :good:

And doing so could disturb normal functionality of device? Nothing found so far but not sure about hidden issues. Thx for a short advice :good:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
May cause issue with Sview cover as well some app on market shows non compatible.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] joe.sebin:
Hi Doc,

does our device support S View feature??

God, i didnt aware of this thing yet...

I searched a Little in samsung store but could find nothing.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Androidwizzard:
I have only seen S-View working by an app from play store, not with N3 features or Samsung app, but anyone would really dare to deny if our Doc says it works for N2 too ;)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
Really don't know. I have never used it. This was reported on my note3 thread that changing device name in build.prop causing Sview cover issue.

Regarding play store error it is reported by Note2 users.
