I've used CW recovery far more than TWRP but have used TWRP almost exclusively on this device. I loaded the recovery as you suggested. I tried to reload slim and then JB22 but no calling is happening. I'm thinking somehow I screwed up my IMEI but I dont have a backup of that

what would you \flash all three modems! there is only one that applies to your phone depending on the updates you took or phone came with
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] .shawn.:
Using the art I've experienced some force closes on Google Play services just an f.y.i . Doesn't happen all the time just once in awhile nothing this seems to hinder the use of the ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dakoop:
I can't seem to get data working on 4.4 even using the latest CWM touch. I was able to flash back to beans22 and all is well. But no matter what I try on 4.4 (slim, pa, cm) I get no data.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] .shawn.:
Best bet check settings/more settings/network mode/ an post a screen shot of your settings. I've also found with 4,3 and 4.4 ROMs that for some settings I have to toggle them even if they were set that way upon ROM installation. Other wise Odin to stock. Root using casual again. Install latest cwm recovery which was linked a couple pages back or so. Wipe data 3x wipe cache 3x wipe system 3x wipe dalvic 3x then install slimkat then install gapps of choice (make sure they are 4.4 gapps!)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] homephysician:
For myself, I had that happen twice after a reboot. The only thing that works for me is to go back to T wiz enable data / cdma/ lte. Then wipe and go back to slim. Gps no problem, just if it goes dead or I reboot, I lose data. Enabling data in T wiz seens to be the fix right now.

Also I'm on cwm latest 6.0.4.3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] .shawn.:
I personally didn't do anything special for data. I Odin'd back rooted. Installed cwm and then flashed away. I didn't set anything up at all in stock tw just skipped through and rooted.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] .shawn.:
Well I went flash crazy trying to figure out what would make my gos work so... Turned out to be the dumbest thing tho haha. So far running all day on this using ART. Reporting bugs and glitches as I go. So far

Es file explorer fails to go to the right place for exsdcard (could be lack of app support)

Facebook sync (again app might need updating)

Some force closes with Google play services (nothing that hinders use really)

GPS seems to need to be toggled sometimes after a reboot to allow for GPS to connect

Force closes from keyboard when you choose a correction from white drop down list when you click a word with an underline.

Sensors work when they feel like it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] homephysician:
Yes art is good. But it ran on dalvic as well. Maybe not as good but nonetheless.

Heaven knows how it got do effed up. These kinds of things are unpredictable but I really do appreciate your efforts at trying to solve the problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] .shawn.:
O I was referring to 4.4 might be a 4.3 issue. I would bravely say that the alpha 4.4 ROMs seem way more stable then that of any 4.3s. As far as 4.3 is concerned I have to say pacman saber build was the winner for me.

I was catching up on this thread to see if more bugs were ironed out and noticed your "helpful" comments. I clearly said that I had read the forum before posting for suggestions. I did Odin back to stock but my radio was non functional. I also clearly stated that I had restored to JB (a TW ROM)which was my last backup. All three of the modems in that thread are TW based and although I can and have used all three, I get the best service using the modem before the last release. If I had stayed on a AOKP ROM with alternate RIL I may have asked for help there. Having said that, I again say thank you to any who offered legitimate advice. I hold nobody other than myself responsible when something goes unexpected but do appreciate true advice.

NP. When going back to two did you make sure that the network settings were correct. Either global or LTE/something/something for get what the something's are but look for lte. I've seen a few people post on other threads for 4.4 who made this mistake but they seemed to have it working again. I think it was the cm thread maybe pa.

For those of you having any issues with bugs and force closes. After wiping like I had the runs and installing ROM then gapps before you reboot wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache and dalv. Seems things run smoother when I do this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] SonOfUncleSam:
Just installed the 4.4 ROM (Coming from the latest 4.3 build)... Installed with CWM 6.0.4.3 touch and it is not connecting to data/wireless network.

I wiped data/cache (factory reset) before installing. Am I doing something wrong?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dvanzutphenkann:
Yeah format data, system, cache dalvik and make sure the recovery is really 6.0.4.3 because rom manager is installing 6.0.3.4 and it's so similar that people mistake it and flash with older version and end up with the glitches your reporting. Hope this helps ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] .shawn.:
How to install SlimKat

Download ROM and gapps any 4.4 gapps should do (I prefer mini for I feel I get better battery life using them plus I don't use many g apps. This is a matter of opinion and opinions will vary.) MAKE SIRE THEY ARE 4.4 GAPPS!!!!

Put these both on your internal SDCard not external! (Using external may work but in the past I've experienced issues with doing so)

Install latest cwm recovery 6.0.4.3 (using twrp will end badly dont do it. They are aware that its a issue and has been resolved and now we have to wait till that new version is out for our device)

Boot to recovery

Wipe data/factory reset 3 times

Wipe cache 3 times

Wipe system 3 times

Wipe dalv 3 times

Install ROM zip file

Install gapps zip file

DO NOT REBOOT FRON RECOVERY YET!

Wipe data/factory reset 1 times

Wipe cache 1 times

Wipe dalv 1 times

DO NOT RE FORMAT SYSTEM AFTER ROM INSTALL THIS WILL UNINSTALL ROM AND LEAVE YOU WITH NO OS!

REBOOT NOW!!! lol

After it finally boots touch nothing don't even set it up. Let it rest 10 min.

Then enjoy you SlimKat :)

SIDE NOTES!!!!

To obtain root control. Go to app drawer settings advanced settings bottom of list super user. Menu key/settings select super user access and select apps and adb. Its already selected but it is not active till you do this.

To change to ART go to app drawer/dev tools. Then select developer options. Clock select runtime. Select ART. Then it will reboot and change.

I am obviously not responsible for devices that get botched up or broken bricked ect while doing this.

Thanks :)

Love this rom! It kicks ass! Coming from Beans, this is a huge improvement. I am having issues with cell data as well, going to try the post above to see if that fixes it. Data seems to work when connecting to some stuff, but will not connect to a server I have running on port 8080. Seems weird. Tried several browsers and a gps app will not connect to it either to report location. Any ideas?

Also, anyone else's speakerphone not loud enough?

Excellent writeup .shawn., however, following the guide completely, I'm still getting the same result. (To where it won't connect to network/data)

Great find. Although after trying that, I get the same result. Also, I figured my baseband/modem version was older and wasn't compatible with KitKat. So I found the thread (also under Android development) and tried the newest one, with the same result. Anyone have any other ideas?

Apparently my phone has a 'special radio'.

Talk to type causes hot reboots sometimes. I isolated what was causing the issue and it boiled down to using talk to type to text or search things

Sent from my i605 (SlimKat Alpha 4.4 ART)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] .shawn.:
Also after hot reboot battery drain kinda elevates till a real reboot happens. Takes about a day of running before it's a issue. Also makes a funny noise if you unlcok or lock the screen while music is playing. Also if you use talk to type or voice control while headphones plugged in it will not continue playing music when you're done. You have to pause unplug replug then play again. Still nothing to kill it as a daily driver. A full settle also seems to have taken about 2 days. As battery has progressively been getting better still now on day 4.

Looking under battery in the system settings I see that WIFI is reported as always on even though I have it turned off. Never seen this issue before in any other ROM so I'm assuming it is a bug? Mad props to the devs that made this ROM possible.
