I'll second this question just to be sure, but based on mattlowry's earlier reply, Devil2-1.8.5-t0lte-DUAL seems to be the right one.

BTW, sorry for probably a noob question, flashing kernel updates "boot" partition, so after I flash new kernel, I'll have a new bootloader. right?

Also, is there a way to check whether it is locked? From what I read, it looks like TMO Note 2 are shipped with unlocked bootloaders, but just wanted to confirm.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] hodgestl:
I see it now in post 4. Sorry to have not been more observant and take up your time. (I am going blind reading so much of this the last few days as we all look to upgrade). I appreciate your help and quick response.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] venomshot629:
Yes, the one I got was "Devil2-1.8.5-t0lte-DUAL-20131203"

Also download the DevilTools-1.0.7 apk, it lets you do cool LED + Audio tweaks and manage the CPU performance (overclocks at a max of 1.8 GHz).

The order I did was:

1. Flash new modem

2. Wipe data, cache, dalvik.

3. Flash ROM

4. Boot, do first time setup over Mobile Network

5. Reboot, flash Devil kernel

Now, all is working. Battery life is amazing, btw. LTE speeds of 37 MBps down, 9 up and 44ms ping. Im using the devilq governor.

Make sure in the DevilTools app to check the box in the Setting tab for "Set on boot" so all of your custom settings are saved!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] rumsey:
Negative, the bootloader is not stored on the boot partition. You can safely update the kernel.

BTW this ROM seems to work great, looks like I'll be waiting for a new Jedi build as I can't get any 4.4 roms to work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] venomshot629:
As a side note, after activating Xposed Installer, Wanam Xposed basically lets you almost entirely customize the phones theme and functionality... completely stylize the notification bar and shade, clock, icon and battery color, activate flashlight from lockscreen, enable reboot to recovery in power menu, etc.

Here's a few other Xposed Installer module add-ons I'd recommend for this ROM (you can find them within the included Xposed app):

BootManager (to prevent bloatware apps from starting with the rom)

Disable Clear Defaults Dialog (the one that pops up when you set a default app)

Notification Mod (allows to pull down notification shade over lockscreen, and pull from top right of notification bar to pull down quick settings like AOSP)

Cheers!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] EdKeys:
I agree. Another to add to the list is XQuickSettingsToggles. It has some fine options to get rid of the green toggles in the notification panel.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] vponomarev:
Can't bloatware be simply removed from the phone? I did that with all TMO crap (and some other apps too) on my stock T889UVBMB4 by converting them to user apps using Titanium Backup, then uninstalling as a normail app from Application manager.

Haven't tried, but most likely the same can be achieved by remounting System as RW, then deleting the corresponding apks from /system/app using your favorite file manager.

Are there any downsides of these methods, which are not obvious to me?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] venomshot629:
I just looked at SkyNote, that looks cool! I know it's not the intention of this ROM, but is there a way to pull specific Galaxy Note 3 features from there and install them via recovery zip to use on this ROM?

For example:

"-Air Command

-Drag and Drop

-Eye Scrolling (Samsung Browser Only)

-Video Pause with eyes

-Note 3 emojis and keyboard (additional)

-Wallpaper chooser from note 3

-Snote 3

-note 3 Sketch

-note 3 font

-s-health 2.5

-note 3 idea sketch"

?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] chadrick.7:
Yes you can. I am using it right now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattlowry:
Eventually
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] starkruzr:
So, I installed Devil2 and the new modem, and everything is great except:

Root is gone

adb no longer works, after doing it once initially and having it say something about key exchange with my computer, when I plug it in now the driver doesn't start and the phone just shows as SAMSUNG_Android

I tried reinstalling the driver and that didn't help. What am I doing wrong?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattlowry:
Did you flash supersu? Did you turn on root access in developer settings?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] venomshot629:
Good point, sorry, I should have been more clear: It allows you to choose which apps you dont want to auto-start and run in the background when the phone starts. That means, aside from bloatware, you can prevent apps like Skype, games, and other things from running in silent mode without your approval.

---------- Post added at 04:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:15 PM ----------

I believe I had the same issue.

Try to Install ROM Manager from the play store, go into the app and install/update ClockWorkMod, and choose the reboot into recovery option. Flash the SuperSU zip from the original post, and reboot.

Regarding the Computer/USB connection, I saw this earlier in the thread:

Connect via USB

Go to dialer

Dial *#7284#

Select Qualcomm

Mtp&usb
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] perknite:
This update is great, but with what is a huge exception for me. I don't use gmail for email anymore. I switched to outlook.com and stay connected using activesync. Well, I discovered today that setting up an activesync connection works fine - it even pulls down contacts and calendar - but sending email does not work. I didn't try adding a contact or calendar event, but when trying to send an email it throws up this pop-up message stating that the app is retrieving login information. The pop-up goes away after about two seconds and then your email just sits there staring at you. . . going nowhere:what::mad:.

I'm now using Enhanced E-mail for Tablets and it works great. Native email activesync? Not so much.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] vponomarev:
Thanks for clarifying, that makes sense.

However, does anyone know if it's possible to remove the non needed TMO crap directly from the ROM?

Is it as simple as deleting the apks from the *.zip file (or repacking it without them), and possibly running zipalign (?), or the process is more complicated than that?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattlowry:
Just remove from zip is fine. Rom is already zipaligned
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lmarranzino:
Hey Matt,

Thanks for quoting me in the OP section just wanted to let you know... I found the info regarding the USB from here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47604798&postcount=2645 just so credit is given here. Thanks.....:D

Make sure you guys go to setting in PS to set your apps to update automatic... I had forgot and my SU kept saying it had stopped.. I freaked I was at work and trying this and that. Got home and re-rooted to find SU just needed an update from PS...ROFLMAO.... Just a friendly reminder. ROM is great can't wait to see what happens from here.

modem if i flashed OTA?

Hi XDA, do i need to flash the modem if i did the OTA for 4.3? or is just flashing the rom and superuser fine?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dn3g3l:
can i flash rom, then supersu, then devil kernal, then modem all one after another and then reboot? or do i have to reboot before flashing the kernal and modem?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] chadrick.7:
Flash rom and su. Then reboot system , after up and running then flash everything else.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] vponomarev:
Two questions:

1. Could you please explain why reboot is required between flashing rom/su and kernel/modem? What can or will go wrong without reboot?

2. Also, why cleaning "data" is required? Again what can or will go wrong if this is not done?

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lmarranzino:
Just ROM & Supersu good to go....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] chadrick.7:
1. If you flash rom and devil kernel together the rom will get stuck at samsung logo.

2. If you don't clear data it could result in fc and additional problems down the road.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] vponomarev:
1. Does this mean that if after having everything flashed and up and running I decide to to a wipe, my phone may or will get stuck at samsung logo? If not, how this would be different and what exactly is happening/changing during the very first boot that would prevent problems after a wipe?

2. Is it safe to restore apps from backup (apk + config/data), for example with Titanium Backup, that was made under a different/older rom?

PS: I hope nobody minds any of my noob questions. This is all fascinating stuff and I really want to understand as much as possible what happens under the covers.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] chadrick.7:
1. Only the first boot up requires the stock kernel after that it is no longer needed.

2. I would not advise to restore data only the app if coming from a earlier version of android.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] vponomarev:
So what happens during the very first boot?

What exactly changes so that wiping data and all caches will not cause problems as if rom and kernel were initially flashed altogether?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] chadrick.7:
I am not 100% sure of the answer to that question. I am still learning myself, only trying to help you as much as I can.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] vponomarev:
Thanks, I appreciate that!

Hopefully someone can answer my question in more details, so we both learn something new today! :)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lmt125:
When I open camera I get a message that says camera fail....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] beezie916:
I think the fix for that mentioned before was to flash it back....take a picture or two before flashing the dev kernel....I think.

On a side note...I flashed the 5X6 launcher from Skynote and I get FC messages whenever I install a program and it goes to install the icon on the home screen (Which is a nuisance and I wish it would stop doing that any ways...I don't need an icon on every homepage for apps I install....)...is there a way to stop it from doing that...the icon on home screen...and am I the only one getting the fc with it??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Troy1:
Goo into settings in the play store and unchecked the option to automatically add shortcuts.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] skriefal:
Thank you (and to beezie916). Sounds like either CWM or TWRP will work. Now to get this done over the weekend...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] moonpie28:
I only had short experience with 4x6 too. It seemed to erase my weather widget and was pretty slow. Just restored my nandroid and am thinking of just using Nova. I am pretty new to note. Does touch wiz provide any special capabilites or is it just a launcher? I've erased a lot of T-Mobile and Samsung crap (even pen stuff for now) with titanium. Thanks for starting us with this ROM! Rooted stock is a good way to go for beginners.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] beezie916:
I knew there had to be an easy fix for that annoying problem...just never had the chance to look or procrastinating to much
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] hodgestl:
Sorry to be so scared and nervous, but are the instructions listed in the OP still all that needs to be done? Are there new and safer steps that we have discovered? Seems like many different experiences from reading. I am currently running Mr Robinsons Root66 root injected stock ROM of BMD1 4.1.2. Thanks to all.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattlowry:
Newer and safer than flashing in recovery?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lmt125:
Should I re flash modem, do a full wipe and then flash the rom and super su again? Thanks, in advance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] hodgestl:
Yeah, I was talking about when and where to do full wipes? Dalvik, cache, system, data? How many wipes? Also there seems to be some confusion over how many reboots need to be done and when in the process they need to be done.

I don't mean to be difficult but it just seems there is lots of discussion about how to stablize the installation, even though the OP just shows 5 simple steps plus a maybe optional USB patch.

I will not persist in my question and I apologize if seeming too noob to ask, but the last several pages of the thread are filled with questions about what to flash, how to flash, in what order to flash, what order to reboot, how many reboots, ROM plus SU; only then modem and Devil2. What if you took OTA? What if you didn't?

I am just not confident on how to get from point A to point B.

Thank you for everything you and everyone else has done. I will just continue to read till I am more comfortable. Thanks for the response. This is a very exciting place.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ascrackoo1:
GEL

has anyone got google experience launcher and "ok google" to work with this rom?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kodochax:
I get extremely nervous when doing this stuff as well, so here is what I did I came from stock 4.1.2. I can't speak on what exactly to do if you took ota as I did not. These instructions are for coming from Mr Robinsons stock root injected 4.1.2 rom with Twrp.

1) Open recovery and make a full backup (I do this just to be safe) then I rebooted.

2) Go back into recovery and wipe: system,data, cache & dalvik cache

3) While still being in recovery flash the rom, then flash supersu

4)Reboot, if you get stuck on the T-mobile screen (I did) reboot again it should start up after that

5)Once you get to the setup/welcome screen turn the phone off and go into recovery once more

6)Flash the devi kernel, then reboot

7)After getting to the welcome screen a second time turn off the phone again and go into recovery

8)Flash new modem

Some steps may be unneccessary, but I like to take things piece by piece unless it's required to flash everything at once
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] starkruzr:
Thanks. Will this also fix the problem with the camera not working?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] venomshot629:
Potentially; I never had an issue with the camera, but didnt try it until I installed the new Devil kernel.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] its_ja10:
to fix the camera...once you're on initially on stock, take a couple of pictures and THEN flash kernel afterwards.

my camera got fixed this way. i did have to flash the whole rom again though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] starkruzr:
This sounds like I need to flash again with no kernel change (which is necessary for the Wifi to work, is that right?), take a couple pictures, flash the Devil2 kernel?

Why is the Devil2 kernel even necessary? We can't use the kernel T-Mobile ships?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] beezie916:
You only need the Devil2 kernel if you didn't flash the OTA update because well this does not have the bootloader so the stock version won't launch Wifi....if you did the ota you don't need to flash the kernel to get wifi to work...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LancerV:
Because the bootloader is diffrent
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattlowry:
just follow the steps in the op and you will be fine
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] chadrick.7:
I have it working perfectly
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] starkruzr:
Okay, so, to be clear -- I need to wipe, reflash, take a pic with the camera, flash kernel, and then I should be fine. Yes?

These days I am working on a project that I need to modify some other android apk's arm elf .so file.

Because I changed the code namespace in android Java, so I have to change the corresponding native code's namespace in .so file.

For example change the symbol Java_com_example1_Method to Java_com_example2_method (dynamic symbol). But I don't have the source code of the native code.The change only replace 1 or 2 chars, so we don't need extra memory allocation.

I have been struggled for 3 days with no results.

Hope you can teach me how to rename the dynamic symbols in elf .so file, and recaculate the .hash section.

Or am i heading the wrong direction?
