[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] JQ27HHH:
I'm going to flash from Skynote 9.3 with the MH3 modem today. Is this the best method to update for Vanilla?

Odin over 4.3

Factory data reset

Wipe system, data, dalvik, and cache

Flash 4.3

Reboot

Let Android boot up completely

Reboot to recovery

Flash 4.5 update

Reboot

Flash modem(?, or is it included in rom?, then reboot?)

Then restore apps from Titanium

I guess my question is if the modem is included or does it need to be flashed in and if so, do I have it in the right order? Thanks for the help!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
Ok if your coming from 9.3 then you'll needed to do a few things first to have working Wi-Fi! Or you can just flash the Rom. And use another kernel to get Wi-Fi working.

Kernel choices are

AGNi»» http://goo.gl/3VvMzl

Devil»» http://goo.gl/w7HYf0

Now on the flashing of the Rom.

If you don't want to use a different kernel for Wi-Fi. Then go here»»»»»

http://goo.gl/WZ8Gy3

Go to Step #2

Then come back here download the Rom of your choice which I think is Vanilla version.

Flash Rom in TWRP recovery. Let it boot up and settle in for a bit. Then flash the vanilla 3.5 update in the OP...:thumbup:

Note if you run into a problem where after flashing the Rom. After you boot and it says no Os installed!:eek::eek::eek:

Then just dirty flash the Rom right on top of what you just did then it'll boot right up...

John did you get any where?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ojai00:
Nothing against any of the devs but one of my reasons for not flashing Agni is I've read numerous people having really good results at first and then issues start creeping up later. Can anyone else confirm or deny this? Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Flashvetrin:
I can confirm 0 issues:D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
I can defiantly confirm that when I was on the previous kernel version. Yes I was getting a lot of lag and freezing. So I then returned to stock!

Now back on AGNi again but his latest version 3.9.4.

Found here »»» http://goo.gl/3VvMzl

Stock setting atm testing things out!

Then only issue I had was the phone got unresponsive, probably because I'm trying to make it do to much...

I was going to pull the battey, to fix it. But it fixed itself. I just think the phone gets bogged down running to much at once!!

But after that one lil mishap, I haven't seen, notice any type of lag, freezing, nada. And I'm still running it with his stock setting that it comes with!!

I was also told by [MENTION=3927388]gregsarg[/MENTION]

That after a few days you might want to wipe your cache, which may be the culprit for the lag issue.:confused:

There's a setting in the AGNi control app. To clear cache after reboot. Haven't checked it yet. But if it's starts to lag then I'll test that later. And sees if it helps!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] fourpointsix:
Been running AGNi for over a month. No issues here.

Has anyone come form Skynote 9.3 to this Vanilla Rom? Just wondering the pros to updating. I was hoping updating to the new rom and modem would help my service at all. I plan on staying with the stock kernel because I'm not playing with those doesn't seem to be for me. Just looking for some opinions for each rom. Thanks.

Top one works great
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Themetnut:
Dumb question, when flashing the agni kernel do i wipe cache and anything else? Do i need to wipe the whole phone first or can i just flash the kernel? Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikeymopar:
no question is a dumb question as long as it hasn't been answered within the last coupla pages....so good question

and no, you don't need to wipe cache to flash a kernel but a wipe every now and then cleans it out and generally makes it run a little better. (not factory reset, just a basic wipe) :)

Thank you very much for the help!

Flashed in recovery SN Air N3 and then Standard Data Icon Update. The phone boots. But I cant find any transparent weather widgets like those in SN 4.3. There is also no N3 wallpapers. My phone now look unattractive and old-fashioned. ??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] raysacr:
I know Mean Bean has the color emoji, I was asking the developer of Sky Note Air rom if he's going to put the color emoji into his rom. I was using Mean Bean and loved having the color emoji, but I hated the stupid photoshpere camera or whatever it's called. I like the old note 2 camera, don't like the Note 3 camera.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] eZdubzitmk4:
dude it has the note 2 camera..no idea what your talking about

You made a statement..why the question marks

Just google n3 wallpapers..and just yank the transparent widget from sn4.3

Sent from my lightning fast Note II running MeanBean v2.0 SuperCharged
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
That's a easy fix. Just restore your back up of the older SN 4.3 leak. That way you'll have your transparent weather widget! Can't believe one widget would make your phone old fashioned?[emoji85][emoji86][emoji87]

A Couple of Questions...

Hey so to anyone who can provide answers, I have a few questions. I'm currently on SkyNote RC9z, which I like a lot, but I've also been looking at this SkyNote Air Rom. These are my questions:

1: There exists SkyNote RC9z standard, Rc9z Note 3 edition, SkyNote Air, and SkyNote Air Note 3 edition. What are the key differences in each ROM? How much difference is there between, say, RC9z standard and Air Note 3 edition?

2: I'm on the 4.1.2 bootloader and I Odin flashed the tz & param files, would I need to do that again if I switch between those two ROMs?

3: Lastly, I'm using an at&t note 2 on tmobile. I had to do the AWS unlock mod. Does SkyNote Air include a modem (would I have to redo the AWS mod after flashing?)

Thanks in advance to anyone who can answer these questions. I'm not new to flashing, just new to the note 2 (traded my GS3 for it, and I love it!)... so no need to go into in depth answers, just something quick so I can get on with the flashing (or stay where I'm at, gotta decide!)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
#1. RZ9 is a older version which is based off of the leak firmware.

Skynote AIR is based off of the OTA Update..

#2. You shouldn't have to re flash those files!

#3. Not sure about the AWS MOD, but most likely you shouldn't have to re do it.

Hope that helps you...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] absinthesummer:
Thanks for the info, that's what I was hoping :)

bootloader Question

Hi Guys,

I just purchased a used I317 for myself, now the thing is the phone comes with CWM and a Custom rom that I want to replace. My question is I don't know which method do I use to install the skynote rom, My phone came installed with SlimKat 4.4.2 , but I don't know if the bootloader was ever updated with the official 4.3... Sorry if this is a noob question LOL. Any help is very much appreciated.

*****Are you coming from a 4.1.2 rom and haven't done the 4.3 one click? See A******

I appreciate everyone's replies and attempts to help. It just worked on its own. After reflashing the ROM alone and waiting for a couple of ours, I flashed the update again and it just worked.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] BulletBill20:
I hadn't flashed it yet, only because I wasn't getting the MD5 matched with what the OP had. As another member just said, either the file is corrupted on the download site or the wrong MD5 was posted. Seeing that this was the first version posted, I was thinking its likely a corrupted file.

Just wanted some confirmation that this isn't the case.

I usually dont flash ROMs that dont match the checksum as they're usually some if not the slightest issues that could be perceived as bugs. Some of the small issues people may have been experiencing could be related to the corrupted file.

I'll wait till seanzscreams can confirm this.

Thanks for those that replied.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jnrdata:
Had to manually extract the s-voice files and push them to the system/app folder after removing a couple of programs that i didn't use (couple of the widgets and such) to make room for some reason. Fixed permissions, rebooted and was golden then. Happy as a fat kid in a candy store. Thanks again for this bad ass rom.

Ok ill re add the svoice zip pushed to data/app instead of system/app

When I had the files in data/app S-voice would work on the phone but not on the Gear (of course may be something I did wrong) When I finally got them in system/app it all worked. have since restored my apps with titanium and all is still well.

Couple pages back about different MD5 for the Vanilla version. My download had the same MD5 as reported. Against my better judgment I flashed it anyway. Booted fine but lost root. Flashed the SuperSU from the OP, updated it from the Playstore and all is golden.

BTW, followed you over from the Skyrocket forum Sean. Took me a year (slow I know) and you haven't lost the magic sir. Thanks for making this an amazing phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] el_chiefo:
Hello, I installed the vanilla flavor of this and lost my root. Downloaded and flashes the SU fix from the OP and it temporary gave me back root. I say temporary because I am able to load up root explorer but tb crashes upon trying to restore anything. I click on any app in TB and I crashes. I reinstalled the rom twice and one the note 3 version and the exact same issue. Is anybody else experiencing this ?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] willyghost:
Yeah its a pretty useful app ! But my phone says the bootloader is i317UCUBMK6 so like I said I am on the the MK6 bootloader correct ? But if it is no harm to flash via ODIN then I will probably follow this procedure, althought I do have CWM installed as recovery. And KNOX counter is already tripped so im not worried about that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] erick161:
Am I the only one still on MC3? lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ojai00:
I believe the AWS Mod needs to be done whenever you are flashing a new modem. SkyNote Air does not include a modem but the latest one, MK6,is provided if you want to update. I'm using the i317 on T-Mobile with MK6 and the AWS Mod without any issues. I actually restored back to stock and realized the phone was fine without it as long as it is unlocked and you have the right APN. I redid it eventually anyway.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] absinthesummer:
Good to know, thanks! Yeah I was getting 4g without the mod, my data worked ok, but it was spotty. I really like the consistency I get with the mod so I'll be asking if a modem is included for any rom I flash. But then again, it's easy enough to redo the mod anyway regardless ;)

I tried flashing the transparent widget from sn4.3 zip as you suggested below but ended up loosing the Touchwiz launcher (left only google, TouchwizEasy and Nova). Now all my screen pages lost!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
Most Rom's usually don't come with a modem! Especially ones from Sean, will never have them. He adds those as add-ons

to be flashed separate...

And yes if the device is unlocked. I've always got 4g lte with my TMO GN2. And I've never did that AWS MOD!

It's just slays worked for me..[emoji39][emoji41]

What version vanilla or note 3?

Because that sounds like when I deleted my magazine from my device. I wad getting that constantly.

Usually most things Sean puts out, should work on his other Rom's. But sometimes we can't use older files, because you end up with problems. If there isn't a flushable zip for this particular Rom. Then maybe wait till Sean gets back to add it to the Rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] absinthesummer:
The only thing the transparent weather widget pushes is the weather .apk, sws.jar, and a couple libs. I checked and you can re-flash the launcher (which is posted on the same page of Sean's to replace those files, plus get the original widget back. You could probably technically alter that, and add the touchwiz stuff and that jar file to the trans weather widget's zip and reflash to have both. But that's something I would do :D

Ok, I have another question for you- I'm on MA4, if I upgrade to MK6 (modem + bootloader), it won't destroy my unlock? Then I can just re-apply the AWS mod if I wish?

Anyway no the unlock is permanent, once you do it. I updated my TMO modem too MK7 and did the bootloader Wi-Fi fix. And the unlock is still intact fyi...

I decided to just stay where I'm at bootloader and modem wise (might be forced to upgrade later, but for now it's all good). I went ahead and flashed this new ROM and I'm diggin it so far!

You can check this app out, it actually tells you what apps are doing.

Then your able to go into XPrivacy then block what you want. With apps I know I need to use everyday. I'll just leave them unchecked because I trust the app..[emoji106][emoji106][emoji678].

That way you can't run into problems with that particular app. I learned that the hard way with Google Wallet and XPrivacy. But after cleaning out all the setting under the privacy module for the app, rebooted started working perfect afterwards!!!

Just some words of advice for XPrivacy. It's to open the app and go thru and block what apps you want. I usually block most apps from»»»

Identity, location, contacts, goggle accounts, internet, etc. Unless I know they need them to function correctly.

Hopefully that helps you...
