I did. No change.

The ROM is not poor, first of all. I didn't say that.

Second, my issues are likely not user related, at least not in a meaningful way. They may be user related in that I'm not using the preferred recovery, but there technically isn't a preferred recovery...so.... I followed the directions in the OP to the letter.

Third, people do not "have issues" because they don't "read/search/care" about what they're doing. People have issues because ROMs are often not initially tested on a very wide range of devices (because this isn't Samsung), the builds don't work for some margin of users, and important information regarding how to fix potential issues gets buried in few single posts across an enormous thread, which all then becomes obsolete in 2 weeks. THAT'S why people have issues.

He doesn't have to take 10 days to do it. He can take 20 or 30 days or more, as far as I'm concerned. What I don't like is phone problems - instability, broken features. If there is a recommended recovery - or firmware or radio or whathaveyou - that information should be in the OP. The forum moves fast, fixes become outdated (or turn into problems themselves), posts get buried under useless information. There's no reason people should have to forum-dive for information that ensures a good ROM experience.

He's also well aware of the issues people are having, I'm sure. It takes no time at all to edit the OP and say "here are some common issues with this build and some things people have already done to address them". As I've said, others have already compiled that information. I'm sure they wouldn't mind if he used it. There are enough people that volunteer here regularly to make this a very easy thing to do, and it could only improve the end-user experience. It would certainly cut down on the passive aggressive "if you had searched..." bull**** that seems to be obligatory for every 10th post.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] zuckerj:
Yeah, but if you had searched...

You would have saved all the time taken writing these posts, and ALL OF US wouldn't have had to waste the time reading them.

Let's not forget that the first reply to your question provided you with specifics that, had you been appreciative, you could have used to easily find all your answers.

My signature definitely applies here.

Edit:

I also wanted to mention that your comments regarding the usefulness of an OP that is updated with the latest solutions to common issues are valid points and obviously beneficial circumstances. But also obvious is the amount of time and effort it takes to build these FREE ROMS across so many devices. If [MENTION=4488450]ptmr3[/MENTION] had the time, I'm sure he'd gladly update the OP.

Which is why users such as [MENTION=4313736]vebulous[/MENTION] and others do their best to help out as many as they can.

Just because your points are valid does not mean you have any solid ground to stand upon disrespecting those that try to genuinely help you.

That's it. I've said my piece. React as you will, I'll speak no more on the subject.

This is a second release, if you expect everything to be a 100% you should stick to stock. Even than you might still have issues as Samsung is notrious for releasing stock roms with bugs. Also as far as the wifi calling with the Echo that is pretty much a know issue on every non stock rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] vebulous:
If you're already rooted, get TWRP thru Goo. If not, You'll need to odin TWRP. Its easier to use Goo though.

Depending on your carrier. Try the latest modem of your respective carrier. If that doesn't work, use the second-last. If all else fails, Odin back to stock and start over.

Flash if you want 4.3. Don't flash if you're content with speed of Jedi X. It's too early to tell how this will perform. It's only version 1.

The way I always flash is: backup, wipe system, data, cache,dalvic. wipe all of them again. wipe all of them again (that's 3 times). Flash through Aroma choosing your correct carrier. DO NOT REBOOT IN AROMA (there was an issue about this a while back, and it just stuck with me). Back in TWRP (or CWM), do a factory reset (wipe cache, dalvic and data), just in case. Reboot and let it sit for the 10 minutes (as in hit the power button, wait for it to boot and when it gets to the setup screen, put your phone down and do laps around your house for 10 minutes.) After this reboot, go through setup (wifi may not work). After everything, flash devil kernel if you have issues.

This is how i did it. SGH-T889 coming from Jedi Master 18 on Tmous.

I highly recommend using Link2SD method. It's cleaner and more portable. I've used it on 3 different devices thus far (HTC HD2, Sony Xperia X10 and now Samsung Galaxy Note 2)

Something wrong you your end. Rule of thumb: when you do a wipe, do it multiple times. Wipe system, data, cache and dalvic AT LEAST 3 times. After the flash, do a factory reset (just in case there's something that was left in the zip/data). Chose your correct modem and actually wait the 10 minutes after 1st boot.

The kernel is necessary since the stock 4.3 kernel conflicts with some settings in MasterX (thats my guess and opinion). Either way, It allows you to OC to 1.8 GHz.

Forget about it. Come join the MasterX side! We have More JellyBeans (0.1.8 more....get it? 4.3.0 minus 4.1.2 equals 0.1.8)... nevermind.

Here's a fancy hyper-text link for ease of transition.

See post 81

Wipe system, data, cache and dalvic AT LEAST 3 times. It's good to have OCD when flashing ROMs.

s/he knows what I'm talking bout. Three Times! It also doesn't hurt to do a factory reset after flashing (before rebooting). Wipe Dalvic, Cache and Data.

Excellent use of resources.

Aaaaaand I'm done.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] AngryDinosaur:
Didn't recall calling you one, but it didn't occur to you that maybe re flashing the modem and the kernel listed in the op may fix data problem

Post 101 and 203, so far we are the only ones reporting the touch key issue. I am on the latest devil kernel, everything else appears to be working fine for me. I am still on the 4.1.2 bootloader. Could this be the problem. Would other users try turning their touch key off and see what happens?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] vebulous:
Everyone makes mistakes, chief.

I have mixed feelings about TiBackup. I've had many issues in the past restoring. And now, I tried to restore my user dictionary and it keeps failing. Probably since the Keyboard was changed from 4.1.2 to 4.3, but I always thought the dictionary was a separate entity.

Anyway, complete restore from Ti is usually frowned upon.

Gave you a thanks for the LOLs. Priceless.

Just put this in your signature.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] cphancock1:
Yep I explained how to fix it a few pages back. Reflash the ROM. Let it load take some pictures then flash devil kernel and modem. No need to wipe if your phone is set up
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] AngryDinosaur:
How do you check which bootloader you have?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] carlgraser:
I will just stay with the stock ota I have the latest Modem and kernel installed as the ota was installed with oden I can't deal with data drops I'm not going to switch out the kernel when I can just use the OTA that works great. I don't see any different in using jedimaster X other then giving data drops. Everything it includes I can download and install my self from the market I removed Knox and all TMobile crap my self so I will stay with stock rooted for now till this rom gets the bugs worked out. I'm not putting this rom down in any way I thank the developer for all there hard work this will be a great rom in time. I just think for now rooted stock is for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] psycho4us4:
I don't like the touch keys on either so I turn them off also and they stay off but I have a t889 and you have an i317. Don't know anything about that on that phone as I don't have one.

---------- Post added at 12:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:55 PM ----------

If you boot into bootloader and there is lines of text that say Knox then you have the 4.3.

If not you have 4.1

Hope this helps

Same as download mode right ?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] vebulous:
Does the bootloader matter? Also, I'm still on MD1 baseband. I'm sure the MK7 baseband doesn't really contribute anything new relatedto connectivity.

This thread is growing out of control. So much that it's killing my battery checking the forum non stop. Hard to keep up with its going so fast. I did notice people don't search they just post. All these questions have already been answered a hundred times already.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] just_visiting:
I also wipe 3 times including my internal sd card and hardly ever ran into any issues. I just flashed the rom and reboot and let it sit at the welcome setup screen for 10minutes. After 10 mins, reboot back into recovery and flash the Devil kernal to get wifi to finally setup the rom/phone. I also use tibu to restore all my apps. Tibu never gave me any issues, have been using it for about 3 yrs now. I have my phone oc'ed to 1.8GHz for about 24 hrs now and it's fine with no sods.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] killacam1989:
Idk I know I'm having issues and I'm not even a noob. Been flashing roms for 2 years and I have never had this many problems. Everything works but my calls will not go through. The main problem with everyone is that this Knox crap has put a dent into everything. Before even a noob could flash like pro and have no issues...but then Knox came along :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kushXmaster:
It's because it's 4.3 lol.

Seriously, people just need to give up on knox. The counter is only there to make it so you can or cannot us knox security. It has nothing to do with warranty. Just update your bootloader. Even trying to recover/update using kies can trip your knox counter. There's even been people who have taken it to Samsung service centers and gotten their phone fixed and the counter reset.

So I'm sure the excellent community here will find a way to do the same thing. Unless you need a jtag for it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ianchua:
Okay.1 Do you have problems with data/Signals going on/off frequently?

2.Do you have the 4.3 bootloader

How exactly does Knox cause problems, outside of people trying to Flash and avoid Knox?

Okay can somebody please point me in the right direction or post for this. My signal strength drops every time I make a call. It dials and stays there for like 10 seconds dialing while my signal displays 3 or 4 bars and then the signal strength disappears and the call drops and says out of service. As soon as it hangs up my signal bars return. I am on AT&T i317 I would go through answers but because this is a rom that supports multiple carriers it is difficult to track which methods are the correct version for me to use. We need a different thread for each carrier so that this mumbo jumbo doesn't get cluttered

Try going to your dialer and entering this code:

Then change the USB setting to the following:

Select Qualcom USB Settings

MTP + ADB

Also try reinstalling the drivers they seem to get messed up frequently for me. If non of that works try a different USB cable.

Anyone having issues with knox can use titanium back up to freeze or uninstall it from their devices. If anyone is having errors popping up, its something that went wrong with the install not the rom. Anyone asking about features, refer to post 81. Anyone whose complaining about anything else, go choose a new rom. Second release with an upgraded OS, theyre gonna be some issues. Overall, the rom is running great, im still on JMX1 with devil kernel and im satisfied with it 100%. If u have a legitimate issue or feature u want, post it on this thread along with a PayPal donation confirmation to PTMR orelse dont complain.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] erickdj:
I had the exact same issues, no matter what I tried, nothing worked. Tried cwm, twrp, updated to stock 4.3 with updated bootloader, clean installs, etc... Always the same issues every time. My solution was to move back to X1, now everything works fine. Not one bit was user error or issues generated by the user, at all. Can't be user error if all flashing instructions and procedures are followed, and then the phone has all those issues from the very first boot up, before the user has any ability to mess with the phone.

Besides, I wasn't too much of a fan of the changes introduced with X2. Not a fan of including features that don't work(smart stay, and the motion to answer calls). Also, the internet browser was a big downgrade from the one included in X1, no quick controls, crashes upon opening, and seems to just be a re-skinned version of Chrome. Also, if stuff like SELinux settings need to be set to something other than the default setting, it should be baked in to the ROM automatically.

No disrespect to ptmr, at all. It just seems that X2 was rushed before it was fully ready. I'm grateful for all his contributions and his dedication, he's put out the BEST roms I've used, no doubt about that. I just think X2 was a fluke among a multitude of awesome releases.

happy to explain further. basically, i cannot upload videos onto instagram. whether it be ones that i took with the instagram camera, or one I imported via my sd card. it gives me a com.instagram.process error and force closes. also had this issue in version X1 as well.

camera itself works fine, so does the video recording, its just the uploading that force closes the app

thank you

Judging by the 20 or so reviews that say that cant upload a video I dont think its rom releated:p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] zuckerj:
SPen sound and functionality has zero delay when pulled out for me.

You may need to start from scratch and test your SPen functionality as you add applications and enable additional mods to target your culprit.

Unless someone out there can save you from all that work and tell you.

Haven't heard that complaint before either.

Good luck
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Negan:
Yeah couldn't possibly be user error. Wotks fine for thousands and a few have issues. Hmmm

Please reevaluate. I have seen this type of post before and it always ends the same. Eventually the user figures it out and realizes they missed something.

And if you feel that it seemed rush you are wrong. I'm involved with every build and I suggest choosing your words a bit more carefully.

You need to go back to the drawing board and figure out what you've done wrong. No need to reply or quote me. Just figure it out! Post 139 will fix it

You sir, have hit the nail directly on the head ;) My only single issue with this ROM is samsung related and not from ptmr3 ( after the minor fixes ).

Charging rate sucks on stock kernel. I have to keep bouncing between stock and devil ( only so I can up the charging currents ). Devil locks up a lot though :/ I basically only flash it to charge over night. Sometimes I only get 3 or 4 hours. Need this puppy back at 100% and ready to go lol.

Tested Instagram on my device and I'm experiencing the same issue. The app crashes when I try to upload a video.

I saw a user comment in the Play Store related to better functionality when uploading via 4G vs wifi, but that did not pan out either.

From all the comments in the Play Store, as has already been mentioned, this seems to be an issue for more than just a few.

I'd suggest waiting for an update, or contacting their support.

Addendum, this MAY be an issue that is exacerbated when used with JMX2, but I submit it is more likely a result of poor application implementation than a direct ROM issue.

Good luck to us both, I'm looking forward to posting videos to Instagram as well. I mean, how will the world cope for am extended period of time without videos of my kids doing cute things!?!

I just Odin'd back to 4.3, installed the latest TWRP via goo manager (pyraxiate's torrent file was supposedly going to take hours to download), then I wiped via TWRP, flashed MX2, wiped via Aroma (just for good measure), and continued the Aroma install process. It installed successfully, but when I pressed "Next" to continue (to reboot to system, I presume), Aroma froze and I had to pull the battery. My phone just successfully booted, but it doesn't seem to be getting any cell signal.

Should I be worried? Or do I just need to install the SeLinuxMode pyraxiate mentioned?

No problem.

Dirty flashing the same version is ok. May not fix your issue but shouldn't break anything.

Use SELinux mode changer and set it to permissive. Should fix your issue.
