As I stated before before this rom is my daily and it flies but how are you guy formatting your internal sd
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mulhiny:
I use Philz recovery. It's in mounts and storage. Just make sure to format sd card and not sd card1 as that's your external.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ianmb:
Working fine here. How did you install ROM?

These are a few of my share options.

Anxiously awaiting 1.2! Keep up the good work guys!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Keithgordon:
I'm able to send/share every way possible...from gallery or camera...I just did a complete wipe and re-install an hour ago. When you installed, did you wipe data to install new rom prior to installation? I can't count the problems people are having from trying to dirty flash this over another rom, because the way the file system works with secLauncher4 is a little different than SecLauncher3, and what happens is, even if you wipe cache and dalvik, the file system in your data partition seems to be stored different, when the apps try to read the SecLauncher3 format with the new SecLauncher4, it has a runtime error and force closes...it isn't just highly recommended, it is necessary to format data.

The way to backup and restore without fail is the Kies 3.0, if you backup e'thing with Kies, it does restore e'thing, txt. email accounts and apps, etc., it is very quick and well worth the work, I promise
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] wackydroid:
Getting recommendations from people I trust to give this ROM a shot, but...

1.1 gig, 8 hours to download? Really?

REALLY?

Gotta be a better d/l link...

:rolleyes:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Keithgordon:
give it a little time, i just posted links to a newer version so there is probably a few people downloading at the same time, someone might share a dropbox link...but the fixes are in 1.2, so if you scroll a page or two back, there are two links to 1.2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] wackydroid:
Both those two v1.2 links are just as slow, 35.1kb/s...I've seen frozen molasses move faster... ;)

But since they're upgrades I'll go with one of those. Are these Betas of 1.2, or finished work?

:cool:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Yes links are super slow. Guess I'll wait till there are faster links.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] m4f1050:
Leave it downloading overnight go to sleep and arrive late at work tomorrow LOL!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Keithgordon:
I think we're pretty much through the beta, some things just don't work, like story album widget, but if you read up, you'll see that almost e'thing works. Of course this is a Note 2, so it doesn't have the hardware that the note 3 has, so some things like smart screen aren't going to work probably idk, but for the most part everything does work and the rom itself works, as far as finished? i dont think anything is ever finished til you get a new fone...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] m4f1050:
Great work! :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Keithgordon:
I'm uploading to my dropbox, which will take a while, but when its complete i will pm you a link, thirty minutes to an hour, cool?

that is unless someone else already has it in their dropbox and pm's it to ya, either way, we will get you a link shortly
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] philseven:
If possible can you pm the link also thanks in advance ?

Mhhmm that's weird maybe it's just be then :/. Yes prior to the installation of this rom I wiped cache,dalvic, and factory reset 3 times. This is the only thing I have recently noticed that didn't work. I'll flash the 1.2 rom and see if problems persist. I'll let u guys know what I find :)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Have you used any tw4.3 ROMs before? If not you might wat to flash the WiFi fix through Odin.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ianmb:
Since flashing this ROM I've never had to reboot due to wifi not starting on boot. It has always worked. But like was said before if you didn't have a 4.3 ROM before you probably have to do wifi fix in Odin.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] gamy2121:
Anyone figure out why we can't upload videos to instagram? It's been an issue on all 4.3 roms I've tried. Works fine on 4.1.2.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] philseven:
Okay thanks is the information for fixing in this thread? And really appreciate your help.:good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Keithgordon:
I think this is right

Man, you guys are on point, lol...

I was just going to say that, but you guys beat me to it...here is a list of instructions that need to be followed, for those who do not know

Has anyone tried to run this on MK4 firmware? I run it on MC2 firmware and never thought to ask...does it work on mk4

It is NECESSARY to use philz, some people may not prefer Philz, however, it formats and installs properly. For a sound/perfect installation follow these instructions...

1. while you are waiting for it to download, open Kies 3.0 and do a complete backup

2. after the backup, flash philz recovery (and wifi fix using Odin if necessary)

3. Factory data reset/"WIPE TO INSTALL NEW ROM", others are reporting to format the partitions under the mount menu, dont think it necessary, but they say it makes it run very smooth, which it does anyway

4. Install the rom

5. Reboot, sign in to your accounts, while you're doing a kies restore/ I also did a Samsung restore over wifi, both options work, but the wifi option does not restore messages and email accounts

this will not run on mk4 firmware, likewise, if youre on mc2 firmware this is a mk4 rom so the wifi fix in the op needs to be applied in odin.

If you follow these instructions to the letter, it is as smooth as factory installation, if not, I cannot count the problems you'll have.; people have been reporting fc's on everything
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] philseven:
Thanks I have been using phil's recovery everything is working besides wifi the thanks going to look in op thanks so much for everyone's help you guy are awesome. Happy New Year's once again.:cool::good:

Try'd to used odin to flash wifi fix but odin say's succeeded o/ failed 1 what am I doing wrong flashed through odin pda ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Got 1.2 installed. So far everything is working great. I also installed the blue bobcat theme without any issues so far. Thanks for a good build so far. Besides installing theme only enabled nav bar and reduced dpi to 300 so text in app drawer is not cut off by nav bar. Will try and see what I can break tomorrow.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mediocrates:
Might want to update the OP to use the PDA tab on Odin for PC to apply the wifi fix, and that Mobile Odin will NOT work. There have been a few instances of people trying to apply it without using a pc. I should know, I was one of them, last week, lol.

You guys are doing an outstanding job, btw!

Waiting for a blazing fast link to 1.2!!!!!!! :D

Are you in download mode (volume down, home button, power button) when flashing?

"Knowledge is wisdom"
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] philseven:
I am on my pc right know and I can't get the wifi fix to install using PDA tab in odin it says succeeded 0\ failed \1 was wondering what am I doing wrong any help would be much appreciated.:good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] louiestl956:
Are you in download mode (volume down, home button, power button) when flashing the Wi Fi fix

"Knowledge is wisdom"
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] philseven:
Yes I am looking at the Downloading target know it say do not turn off target Odin sees my device and every thing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Keithgordon:
Power off your device completely.

Once it is off, hold the home button and the volume down button simultaneously with the power on button. It should say something about flashing custom roms, to continue press volume up, you will see a screen that says "Downloading"

When you see the screen that says downloading, open Odin, and the little window to the left should be light blue (version dependant for color) ans Say COM11 or some other com port...in the other window it should say connected, then click PDA and browse to the wifi fix and flash it, when the phone reboots it should have wifi

If this is not the case, check to make sure you are on an MC2 bootloader...hope this helps
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] coolwater22:
what version of odin are you using? I recently flashed this rom and had this similar problem. go to post 185 by ianmb. that is the oden I used and it worked.

here is the link. thank him :)..http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2582027&page=19

so u go into download mode like louiestl956 stated (hold volume down, home button, and power button at the same time.) then press the volume up button. once u do that connect your device to your pc. once oden has read your device click on PDA and then browse your files on your pc for the wifi patch. make sure it says MD5. Then click start and then it should work.

hopefully this helped.

something different, I still cant share photos from the recent pics I think on the camera and from the gallery. I installed 1.2 and its still wont work. if I format data will that delete all my internal or external memory or both?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] philseven:
Are you saying I have to rename the wifi fix to say MD5 as oppose Wifi_patch_SPHL900.tar ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] louiestl956:
You have to unzip the file and get the file from the zip then flash with odin

"Knowledge is wisdom"
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] philseven:
Oh okay thanks wasn't sure okay will due thanks.

Okay thanks guys that was it thanks so much for your patience and time much appreciated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] coolwater22:
yeah what louiest said hahaha :P
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] na_tra:
Do you factory reset and FORMAT DATA together or just FORMAT DATA and skip the factory reset?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ianmb:
You could do both it wouldn't hurt because when you factory reset it wipes both cache/dalvik. Formatting your internal sd card just helps A BUNCH with a cleaner and more stable install...imo!

Maybe try rewiping, format internal sd.

ANDROID ...A New Digital Revolution Of Incredible Developers
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] philseven:
OK I am on 1.2 know will give it a go thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] na_tra:
Thanks. So in order to use this one, I read that I must use Philz recovery. I am using TWRP now. To get to Philz, I just need to wipe cache/dalvik and flash the Philz zip file through TWRP. Then, use Philz to format data the internal SD card. Is it like formatting the computer hard drive then install new OS in? At last, install the new rom, any rom?

TIA

For all of you that want to use Viper 4 Android, check this out first... It might help getting it working, it has step-by-step instructions:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Keithgordon:
If you're asking how to get screen writing to work, there is a setting at the bottom of display in settings /settings/device/display/Edit after Screen capture, make sure that is selected, then, go to controls under settings and scroll down to pen detachment options and select "Air Commands"

Then exit out of settings and back to your home screen....then pull your stylus out... when the air commands icon opens, select screen write...

it will take a snapshot of your screen, then you'll be able to write on it

Torrent, please seed!

EDIT : Removed Torrent. No good.

Hey everyone. In order to combat the slow download times of 1.2 I've attempted to make a torrent file. Please download, try it out, and seed even if you already have 1.2..This is the only way torrents will speed things along.

This is my first torrent so I can't make any promises.

Remember, the more people that seed, the faster others will obtain the file and a snowball effect will occur. I will leave mine seeding for as long as I can. At least the next few days.

Thanks all!

*before anyone asks, yes I got permission, lol...Devs, if this takes off feel free to link this post in the OP
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Keithgordon:
I just linked a few seeds, now i'm going to update the OP with this link, THANKS! I think everyone appreciates it

Ok, the OP is updated if someone wants to test the torrent speed
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] GuitarJesus:
Be careful, the 1.2 update is 1.1gb while the torrent downlpad is only 812mb.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Keithgordon:

Crap..you're right. Not sure what I did wrong. I used utorrent to create. followed some instruction I found on the net..

Sorry all... :(

Edit : I didn't actually flash myself before seeding. Rookie mistake. My bad folks. I must have had a bad download from the get go as my original file is also under 900mb.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] m4f1050:
Ok, installed v1.2 1st thing I noticed Wifi works out the bat. Great job! :)

2nd, it booted faster even on initial boot, nice...

3rd, I didn't have to enable improve sensitivity on touch (I had to update modem and turn this on - i guess not all devices are the same) but now it's working decent, I might turn the sensitivity to get a really smooth experience. :)

Thanks again! Will be testing, I guess someone already tested V4A (did you test V4A XHiFi as well? Don't remember but I will be testing this since it didn't work on v1.1)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Keithgordon:
did you get a good download yet? don't know which one you tried, but i thought

Wiping my windows machine today (since all my note 2 flashing to cricket is done) and setting up Ubuntu. If all goes well I will be helping out with the Aroma script. Been a year since I last done one but hope to have a rough template out today.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cuezaireekaa:
i did as well and i have tried everything to get V4A to work with zero success. only version 2301 and under work for me. also, the play store version works but its old also. tried everything short of wiping internal.. drivers just refuse to install. even after flashing SuperSU

i've always had problems with tw4.3 w/note 3 features working with v4a. w/o note 3 feat. it works. :o

hope someone can figure this out. i'll keep at it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mulhiny:
still downloading from the link you sent me. About two hours to go. Should be done about 7pm EST. I'll recreate the torrent and start seeding then, assuming all goes well.

I'm currently on ParanoidAndroid 3.99 (Android 4.3). Can someone point me in the right direction to change to this ROM?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Keithgordon:
I think it mainly depends on the bootloader, if you're on MC2 bootloader, flash the rom then the wi-fi patch...if you're on MK4 bootloader, then flash the Billards MC2 back to stock unrooted...i'm pretty sure...everything works, and actually I think this has less random reboots than stock MK4, i have never had one with this ROM, while I had two per day on stock mk4
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Smidgers:
I assume I'm on MC2 bootloader (unless that's part of the PA ROM zip). But can you tell me how I can find out for sure?

cool! ive tried to download 1.2 since last night. it takes about 4hours to get 128MB and then times out every time at around that much and then gets corrupted. a torrent or dropbox link would be great!

UPDATE for V4A: still havent figured out how to get thedrivers installed. and i know all of the fixes for v4a. none work
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ianmb:
Using 2.3.1.5. The only thing I can tell you is do complete CLEAN install. Whenever I flashed a new ROM and went to install it would give me the notice of unable to install drivers. From there I did usual wipe of cache/dalvik...sometimes it would work. If not I would re flash entire ROM. Redownload app from site then it would work.

ANDROID ...A New Digital Revolution Of Incredible Developers
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Keithgordon:
Setting>About>Baseband version...it should say MC2 somewhere on the about ...if so, you should back-up all your data using Kies 3.0, then reboot to Philz recovery, wipe data/factory reset>wipe to install rom, install the rom>reboot>setup/while doing the setup do a complete restore with kies 3.0 using backup and restore....its prestty simple, just like any other rom...there are a lot of bells and whistles, so its best to start with a clean slate, also upgrading to TouchWiz4, from TouchWiz3, its pretty important to wipe e'thing...when you restore it restaores text messages and voicemails and e'thing
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Smidgers:
OK. So it is MC2.

I'm not sure what Kies3.0 is. I've always just used nandroid backups (will my nandroid work if I want to go back?). But, when going to a new ROM I prefer to start completely fresh.

So I would install philz recovery, go through the steps above? Then how do I upgrade to TW4?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mulhiny:
Lets try this again...I've created a torrent and I'm seeding now. Can someone download and, assuming it works, seed?? If we get this going, should really speed up downloads.

I will ask again as I think my question was missed.

If it was purposely ignored due to my own ignorance please let me know.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Doubt it was ignored due to ignorance. It is an easy add and could find its way into future releases if the developer chooses.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mediocrates:
Ditto!! As I said before, I'll seed at least until the next version, and maybe a couple weeks past that. I haven't been this stoked about a rom thread in a while.
