[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sarkar_007:
I am yet to root my Note 2 (India version). It is completely stock, updated to latest official Samsung 4.4.2.

I have previously rooted and installed custom ROM's on HTC Desire and HTC Sensation so I have some idea of this stuff. But this is my 1st Samsung android phone and I am about to root it.

In all the instructions, I read about the bootloader being later than MJ5. My phones bootloader is NI1. (please check attached screenshot). Is it later than MJ5 or not?

Can I go ahead with rooting and flashing custom ROM's like this Dr. Ketan's, DN4, Diamond ROM v6 and other TW ROM's? Kindly reply. TIA.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Androidwizzard:
Your bootloader is of course higher than MJ5 so forget about all about it. No need to root your device, only flash the recommended recovery and then install rom through that custom recovery.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] paarkhi:
[MENTION=4299943]sarkar_007[/MENTION], yes your bootloader is updated and you can flash your mentioned roms straight away but you need custom recovery like TWRP or philz.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sarkar_007:
If I dont root my phone how do I flash custom recovery? I am going with TWRP recovery.

Another query: About the EFS backup. Do I need to do it only once before I flash my 1st custom ROM or do I need to do it everytime I flash a new ROM? And can I use Dr. Ketan's MultiTool (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2445480) for performing EFS backup?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] paarkhi:
You'll flash custom recovery with PC ODIN and EFS backup once is enough. you can use Dr. Ketan EFS Backup tool

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sarkar_007:
^ Root access is required to use the app in your link. I feel rooting my phone will be better even if it's not necessary, as a lot of system level apps may require root access.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Androidwizzard:
Rooting makes no sense when using a custom (pre-) rooted rom cause root doesn't persist.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] mithundperfect:
It's not rom related.. It's fb aap bug.

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] kamal0287:
you just flash twrp via ODIN, then flash supersu via twrp... all done:)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sarkar_007:
Please guide how to flash twrp via ODIN. I am trying to do it using adb commands from DOS prompt but I am getting 'device offline' error. I tried switching usb ports, rebooting the phone but still same error.

I have rooted my phone and SuperSU is installed.

Never mind... got twrp installed using ODIN.

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
If I remember correctly this ROM based on latest 4.4.2 built right? there is no major 4.4.2 version released. Also ROM doesn't have any major bug or missing feature we needs to update. Regarding 4.4.4 I have multiple time said that not interested untill we get official update. Apart from this I am busy with my own profession and hardly getting time to update my existing device ROM. sooner or later have to stop but yet I didn't declared development on this ROM is dead because of still I have hold for N2. So continue enjoy existing ROM OR may temporary try from one of available from based on 4.4.4 till I (May) get opportunity to make one based on newer build. BTW this ROM already once reborn otherwise it was already declared dead on 4.3 (Thanks to [MENTION=5564860]Androidwizzard[/MENTION])
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] joemar66:

Official updates for Note 2 are over, the Note 2 stops its update life at 4.4.2 version.

They announced 4.4.4 in october the 5th 2014, releasing that version for end of november 2014, but we are in december and no more news about it.

So if the Doc await official update for the next release, the official dr.Ketan rom stops at 4.4.2.

That said, I thank you Doc for everything you've done for Note 2 ;)

Hi there,

I've installed Ketan's V14 ROM, I'm using a Pebble smartwatch. It is good because if I am in a quiet place, if sy call me, I can quick deny or mute call quickly through my smartwatch. But using v14 ROM when somebody calls me the it's ringing 3 seconds while the call appears in my smartwatch. If I'm using the phone (so the screen is on) the smartwatch shows the call immediately.

How can I solve it? I think when I didn't use my phone (it's sleeping?), it takes 3-4 sec to show the call on my smartwach. The other ROMs what I've used before I didn't get this problem :( Can somebody help me? Thanks!

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] comatrix:
I read the news about Lollipop for Galaxy Note 2, as I read the news for the Android kitkat 4.4.4 version for Galaxy Note 2, that was never landed in this device.

I will not say that is a lie, but I will wait until Samsung officially says something about it, and not a simple website, even if it is a Samsung website. That because it could be only an error in website itself.

But I hope it is true, this will disprove my previous post, when I said that Note 2 stops its update at 4.4.2 kitkat ;)

I have had same problem with music suttering. Music helps (if it helps at all) only with standard player (Audible, other player like gone mad music player keeps stuttering). Only this solution helped me to solve this problem:

1. flash stock & wipe data from stock rom

2. flash new bootloader (the last one, that voids the warranty :) )

3. flash twrp ( I flashed newest) Maybe you can use other recovery'ies I'm not sure.

4. wipe everthing you can from twrp

5. install Ketan's rom.

Problem is bbs is showing no app doing any major battery drain. Even idle phone is losing 5% charge per hour. 2 hrs of screen time is the battery backup max now. Im wondering if it is the os or the battery itself is faulty.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] MintiIceCream:
Try a different charger (new if you have one)

One of my chargers was faulty. It charged the phone, but it was draining quickly. I tried anther charger and it was fine.

One more question: How old is the battery? And is it stock battery?

P.S. If your battery is old, still try a different charger, it may be the problem :)

Good Night,

Minti
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] xbean:
Let your battery dry completely (0%) & shutdown itself.

Clear battery statistics & charge your battery fully as it is a new battery. Check your battery usage again. If nothing draining your battery & it still dry quickly then you may consider replacing your battery.

After 1200mah it drops to 0 in seconds. Although the problem is not there with old battery. I think the battery is faulty as there is no major drain as per battery usage or BBS.
