Read my reply from yesterday again, especially the PS... https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=70825498&postcount=15833 You didn't follow the instructions from the OP. You need to follow them EXACTLY and you shouldn't have any problems.

Make sure you check the MD5 of the ROM download in the OP also, to make sure it's not corrupt.

Once you are in TWRP recovery, go to wipe, then advanced, and check: cache, dalvic, system, data and internal... then install the ROM. It can take a while to boot the 1st time, so let it go for a good 10 min before you panic.

Man, you have all kinds of things going against you getting this to flash correctly!!!

As mentioned many many times in this thread... If coming from CM ROM, you need to flash a TW ROM before flashing DN4. I even put it in the OP at the end of the flashing instructions a long time ago, but again, hardly anyone reads the OP. You can flash the DN3 in the 2nd post, then flash DN4. There is no need to setup anything in the DN3. Once it flashes, you can reboot into recovery, wipe everything again, then flash DN4 and you should be fine.

If you are messing with 7100 ROM's with this, you aren't going to get any support. Especially using that addon!!

If you downloaded the ROM from the electron site, you are going to have problems too as that ROM is bad. You need to download it from the OP in THIS thread, then check the MD5 to make sure you got a good download.

Read the OP again, then read it once more... follow it word for word, don't skip anything or substitute anything. Before you start setting things up, take the OTA update (read my reply how to do that a few posts back), it will save you from redoing things twice. No need to download the OTA separately, the OTA app in the app drawer will do it for you. Just make sure to follow my instructions for how to flash the update... unchecking the wipe cache.

I'll bet if you follow the instructions, this will be up and going tomorrow without any of the problems you are having now. Like I said earlier, once it is up and running, you can update both TWRP and Agni

Good luck :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] TheYellowMenace:
Followed as instructed and almost all was fixed asides from one issue.

It STILL doesn't recognize my SIM card. DN3 also didn't notice it, and DN4 still doesn't recognize it even after the OTA update.

The only things I can find people saying and solving this with is either 'you installed the wrong version' or 'you have the wrong sim card'
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
Ok so the Rom is booted and working step 1 done.

Now for the sim card issue. Do that sim work in a different phone and is it active?

What device are you flashing Dn4 on because it could possibly be your modem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dsmturbo:
Well, I am up and running after re-reading the OP again and again. The info you posted above helped a lot. I was not completely erasing and preparing the phone for a flash.

I also used the OTA app to update. I'll see if there is an update for Agni.

So now I am going to start going through the Q&A Thread as have a couple things like the carrier name and device model. I do not imagine I can change those anyway.

And in the notification status bar, can you tell me what the far left circle with a line through is meant for?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kozmo21:
Glad to hear you got it flashed :good:

The latest Agni is here... https://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=18491

I know we removed the carrier name at one point, not sure if that's what you are talking about? And the model is in the build.prop. It can be changed, but there is really no reason to do so... It won't hurt anything being 7105.

Not sure what you are talking about with the status bar thing? Go ahead and post a screen shot.

---------- Post added at 05:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:00 PM ----------

Glad to see you got it flashed and almost everything fixed :good:

Adding to what [MENTION=1840999]Bajanman[/MENTION] said... Did that SIM ever work with the Note 2, even on a stock ROM? Wondering if there is something wrong with the SIM tray? Sometimes the tray gets loose, especially if there was ever a SIM adapter used.

What model of the Note 2 are you flashing... i317, t889, i317m, 7105?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dsmturbo:
Thanks kozmo21. The notification was just for Blocking Mode in status bar. Mine actually shows as a N910C I think.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] TheYellowMenace:
The SIM card worked with cyanogenmod and the stock rom on the phone, and still do, currently, the SIM card is in a backup device while it's out of commission.

And the phone I'm trying to get going is the AT&T i317.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kozmo21:
Glad you figured out the status bar thing.

Yeah, the 910C is the note 4 (that's what we were trying to emulate) so that's why it shows that model.

---------- Post added at 12:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:03 AM ----------

If you want to give this a try... Since you said it works on stock, you could try flashing stock ROM in ODIN, make sure SIM works.... Then go directly from that and flash DN4. There is nothing in DN4 that should cause that problem of SIM not working.

Maybe try flashing the newer Agni from the link I gave above, or try flashing a newer/different modem? Other than that, I have no idea why it isn't working for you? Maybe [MENTION=1840999]Bajanman[/MENTION] has another idea?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dssheeley1:
I would agree to. Things tend to get weird when we switch between CM/AOSP and TW roms that have builds higher than 4.4.4...my personal experience is whenever I get stuck...Odin to factory stock versions...reroot device...try again
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
Adding to what [MENTION=2626876]kozmo21[/MENTION] told you to do.

Ok what modem do you have on that device?

Please post that info here. Since you said it worked with CM Rom and stock Rom no problem. Those CM roms always caused users problems coming from CM to Tw based.

You can do what have already been mentioned here about Odin back to stock then move to Dn4.

Step 1.

Try this wipe the phone completely meaning internal needs to be cleared.

Step 2.

Using stock Rom try the sim and see if it works if so good.

Step 3.

Next I want you to flash DN3 and check the sim once again, if it works OK then you can move to Dn4 and it should still work afterwards.

Report your results here thx.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dsmturbo:
If I can bother to ask, I would install the shutdown startup screens by flashing them in TWRP, correct?

I am curious also on this addon from:

https://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/?id=1728#downloads

I317m Build prop_signed.zip . There really is no instructions or explanations on these addons or updates.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kozmo21:
All the zips in the download section should be flashed in TWRP recovery....* BUT, you only want to install things that have the date in 2015, all the things that have the 2014 date (like that build.prop zip) are for the previous ROM DN5v2, so don't flash any of those if you are on DN4 !!! The DN4_2.2-Boot Animation is fine to flash.

Btw... Don't worry about asking questions here. I can tell you are reading and searching on you own, so you are doing your part :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dsmturbo:
:good: BTW, I do not think I am getting 4G or LTE? When I go to Settings/more networks/mobile networks under Network mode it shows WCDMA/GSM..also not sure if I am getting any Messages, or just maybe no one loves and misses me :( I wonder if I need to set APN settings for Virgin Mobile or Bell? I am with Virgin Mobile but they use the Bell network here in Canada.

I remember seeing a post re: LTE but I can not locate it again. And thanks, I will not flash any of those older fixes.

I had forgotten when I posted, but when I answer a phone call when screen is locked...not surre if it happens when it is not locked...but I get a force close message ' Gesture services has stopped'.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kozmo21:
If you were getting LTE with this phone on a previous ROM, then your modem should be fine. I'd try setting up a APN for Virgin and make sure to save it, and delete any others that are in there. If that doesn't work, try Bell. As far as not getting messages, that has nothing to do with data... make sure in about phone it says connected/in service. Do calls work for you? If so, then messages/text should work too.

You can use the search in this thread for LTE, but you'll probably get a ton of hits. If you can remember any other key words that were in that post, add them to LTE to help narrow it down.

Good luck

Edit: For you gesture service problem: Using the search of the thread ... https://xdaforums.com/search/thread/2541860?query=Gesture services

Basically just get rid of it. Here is just one of many posts regarding that problem from the search above... https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64579934&postcount=15356
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dsmturbo:
Thanks kozmo21, yes my messaging is working. So much to get to know about this rom, but so far it Rocks..thanks to all developers and contributors:good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] TheYellowMenace:
Alright, I seemed to have solved the issue.

I managed to find my old stock twrp backup file, I tried to restore that, but only had the device in a boot loop

I then wiped the device and flashed DN3, then DN4 onto it as originally instructed, now it seems to recognize the SIM card

Thank you guys for the help and tolerance of my ignorance and novice knowledge of this stuff.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
You're welcome.

Glad you got everything solved. :good::good:

Next thing you do is set-up EVERYTHING, then make a backup of your working system asap using Twrp. I back-up to external sd fyi
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dsmturbo:
I just noticed in TiBCKP I have only 82.5MB system rom free. Appears used is 1.84GB.

Is this fairly normal for this rom?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kozmo21:
Unfortunately yes. We even took out some stuff just to make it fit, otherwise the ROM wouldn't flash. The 7105 version of the Note 2 has a bigger /system partition, so they don't have this problem.

If I get a chance, I'll see if I can find a list of things that are safe to remove if you don't use them. I removed a bunch of things to make my theme work, cause otherwise, it wouldn't flash because there wasn't enough room in /system. We had a light version for the previous ROM the DN5v2, to make it easier on the t889 which has the smallest /system partition of all the note 2's... And that's the one I have... I'm so lucky lol :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] deegore:
Anyone got a working link to the att GPS fix zip?

It seems the only way i get a GPS fix is by starting the GPS locker app that came with the rom.

Edit: Never mind, it's working today. Maybe because I changed my UAString.

Why no Development of DN4 for Sprint Variant of Note 2?

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 made for Sprint. Simple question; WHY NO DEVELOPMENT BY THE ELECTRON TEAM of the Ditto Note Custom ROM for the Sprint version of the Note 2? Also, I haven't seen any development for the Sprint Note 2 switching it to Android Marshmellow, what about that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
It's very difficult to develop for a device you don't own as there's no way to test anything. None of the eteam have the note 2 anymore which is why development has stopped
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Micr0waveMan:
Anybody have some helpful advice for a scrub with a phone that steadily slows and loses stability overtime? I read through the thread and didn't see any similar issues reported, so I'm assuming the error is on my end. I haven't installed any new apps since first setting my phone up on the ROM, and I haven't been able to find anything misbehaving. I was running DN4 with the add-on previously but started having similar lag, along with bizarre GPS issues, and all went away as soon as this updated DN4 was flashed. Now I'm back to watching whatever I type appear on screen seconds after I actually enter it. I'm running it on a T-Mobile note 2, could it be possible the lack of free system memory to blame?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dssheeley1:
Maybe check ur kernel settings. May need a change in setup. U can also flash back to a stock rom and see if lag is still present. If so, sounds like hardware is coming to an end...let's hope not. These GN2 are pretty die hard. Fingers crossed
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Micr0waveMan:
I'm gonna try a backup today, then flash my old backup from just after the OTA was recognized and went through. I'll let you know if the lag goes away, and if it does I'll reload today and see if it's still here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Micr0waveMan:
Switched back to an older backup, seems to be running a bit faster/smoother but not positive. I'm gonna check the system memory to see if it has more now and had gradually filled without me noticing. I really hope the next Note isn't another mess, because I really don't think this phone has another year of good service left in it. I'll update if I figure anything out.

Issue with Samsung Keyboard in update v2.4 for GT N7105

I have updated to the latest 2.4 update via OTA updater. Everything is fine except u cannot turn of Vibration for Samsung Keyboard. The option is there in the settings but its highlighted grey so that u cannot check the option. Since I find it battery consuming and irritating to keep the option on please look into the matter in next update. Working with Samsung keyboard is so easy than others. Thank you!

Wifi not working

i can't use wifi after flashing ditto note 4 rom v2.2 on sgh i317. My bootloader version is I317UCUCNJ2

:crying:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
You could try to clear data on that keyboard and see if that fixes your problem. I never used that Sammy keyboard on mine I hated it, I'm a Swype user instead.

Update? Don't think you'll see a update from this Rom no time soon.

Maybe try flashing Agni kernel too fix you Wi-Fi problem. And take the Ota to update the Rom. Then report back if your Wi-Fi is still broken.

Good luck 2u.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dssheeley1:
Reflash agni kernel 4.3.9. See if that helps

Thanks man you saved me. :o

And sorry for late reply, i had some problem with my internet connection.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dsmturbo:
kozmo21, I realize that no one on Team Electron has any Note 2's, but if you could perhaps point me in the right direction as to how to safely remove some apps from rom so I can get more than 88 mb free? I am getting a lot of 'Unfortunately systemui has stopped' or 'clock has stopped' etc. I did google search and suggestion was to go into recovery and wipe dalvk cache and cache which I do but then the problems come back after a bit.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for injecting a bit more life in to the Note 2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kozmo21:
Sorry I forgot you, got caught up in making a different ROM.

Here is a list of some apps that you can delete if you don't use them. Think I also moved gallery apk from /system to /data also? I'll have to check on that...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dsmturbo:
Thank you. I am unsure how I go about doing this though? Do I need to remove apps from original rom, save it then re-flash? What do I use to actually remove the apps...do I use just a file browser or ? Sorry I have never messed with a rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kozmo21:
1st thing: If you have the ROM the way you want it... Make a backup in TWRP and save it to your ext sd card. That way you have something to fall back on if you do something wrong.

Then you can try this app to remove them... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jumobile.manager.systemapp&hl=en

If I had more time right now, I could just make a debloated version of this for you... But I'm kind of busy with other things. If things slow down, I'll try to do that, but no promises :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Micr0waveMan:
l think that app might have turned, seems like you get full screen pop-ups. Would freeing up some memory possibly help my slowdowns and freezing, or is that mostly wishful thinking?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dsmturbo:
Thanks again, I am still working on the rom and getting things organized and trying to get more free ram in system. I do have a question...would not removing the SCloud apps prevent Calendar, etc from syncing or no? And I still use SNote and SPen. I believe I am up to 124mb free from 88.4mb free so it is better. I will keep working on it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
When I was using this Rom I removed all the S cloud bloat because I wasn't using anything to sync with Samsung. And all my other stuff worked perfectly fine. I had a slim version of this Rom but I would have to go look for it so you could have something to compare to so you'd know what else could be removed. If time permits I'll post a link k

If you don't use stuff like s-voice then that one is a big space hog on your small system. Most of the big mb apps are in the priv-app folder.

Btw my stock calendar syncs with my Google calendar np.

Good luck on the trimming your system, think I got mine down to 170ish..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kozmo21:
What he said ^

That was easier than me typing all that :p

If I get a chance I'll restore my backup of this ROM and see what all I removed or moved and check on gallery apk.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dsmturbo:
Thanks Bajanman. Yes I do not sync anything with Samsung either so I will get rid of the SCloud stuff I can. I do use Snote, SVoice so will keep those as long as rom runs fine. I believe I nuked Gallery already but would have to check.

EDIT: I had to put Gallery back in as was messing up my Camera app and MMS...weird. So I have about 144mb free now. Any idea if it is okay to remove the ALLShare stuff?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
Sorry for the delay was having phone issues myself lol. But everything is back to normal now.

All share has to do with sending your screen to you're tv, Chromecast, etc. If you don't use it you can remove it. I use it if I'm at a friends house and I want to cast a YouTube or whatever to their TV.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kozmo21:
If you look back at my post, I didn't say to remove gallery.apk... I said to move it from /system to /data. You will need to set permissions after moving.

IIRC that app is around 40M (could be wrong though), so well worth moving if you need the space.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dsmturbo:
Yes you did say to move it..my apologies.

I am not quite sure how to move from /system to /Data and then reset permissions but I will try and find answer. Again, thank you guys so much.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kozmo21:
You will need to use a root file explorer (like root explorer or total commander etc. from play store), click move after selecting that app, then select the /data/app for where to move it to, then touch and hold the app once in /data/app, and select properties... that's where you change the permissions, to 644.

Not sure how much you have this setup, but think I found my trimmed version of DN4? If you want I can upload it for you to do a fresh install? That can be a pain, but everything should be moved for you, so you won't have to worry about moving from /system to /data or setting permissions. Let me know if you want it, and I'll post it here, or send you a PM with link. Have to be sure I can do it without getting in trouble with Eteam lol :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dsmturbo:
Kozmo21, so after moving is the file permissions supposed to be 755 or 644 as you wrote above? Confused? I set it to 755 and the app does not even show up in Apps list. I will change it to 644 and then reboot and check. I found a web site that shows what rx-r-r-x (etc.) converts to in numbers. But I do not see 644? I really apologize for all the stupid questions.

Yes, I have my phone and rom etc pretty much set up as I like it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kozmo21:
I use Total Commander... Once you navigate to the APK in /data, long press the APK, go to properties, then at top right hit the RWX, and type in the 644 instead of whatever is there. Included screenshots below...

I'm on a different ROM at the moment, so it's not going to look exactly the same, but this should give you an idea... just a FYI
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kozmo21:
Ok, here is a link to my slimmed down version. You can also take out anything else from the list I provided earlier, before you flash if you know you aren't going to use it. Just open the zip and remove those apks before flashing. I couldn't remove too much stuff in case someone needed it. And you'll see that the gallery is in /data :D . I'll put a link in the OP later too when I get time. Good luck with whichever way you decide to go :good:

SLIM DN4
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
Nice work [MENTION=2626876]kozmo21[/MENTION] for the continued help here!

And good job giving the users a slim version for Dn4. Now ya need to add it in the Op! Now...

Just kidding.:silly:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kozmo21:
Of course you had to mess with me :D lol. Yep, busy busy :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
Keep up the good work buddy. You keeping the note 2 updated which is cool in my book.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dsmturbo:
:good: I figured out how to move Gallery and now have 212mb free in system. Curious how much the slim rom has free?

Anyway, I just noticed that when I get a Voicemail, I get no notification at all and therefore do not realize the caller left a message. Has anyone else noticed this? All I get is a Missed Call notification. I will check all my settings to make sure I didn;t mess something up. but it should show a notice somewhere, should it not?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kozmo21:
Awesome you got gallery fixed :good: No, if you have that much free now, I wouldn't bother with the slim version.

Do an advanced search in this thread for voicemail, and use absinthesummer for use username. Pretty sure she did a long post with a solution for this IIRC?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dsmturbo:
I tried all the suggestions and still no voicemail notifications or Missed Call. I am on Virgin Mobile (Bell) here in Canada. Ah well, it is not really a huge deal as I really like this Rom.:)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
I didn't use stock on this Rom. But you can try what I use for the past 7+ years now. Similar to visual voicemail when you hit the msg to listen. Lots of other features included in that app.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phonefusion.voicemailplus.and
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kozmo21:
If that post with all the screenshots from absinthesummer didn't help, not sure?

Just a thought, does your phone # show up in settings/about phone? If not, that "could" be the problem? Thought that was fixed in one of the last updates, but been a long time now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dsmturbo:
No, when I go to About Device and Status, under My phone number there is nothing there. It just shows Unknown. Maybe you are on to something.
