Thanks DarkAngel. I am going to give it another shot following your instructions. Hopefully, I will not encounter any more problems. I do love the rom that's why I am willing to try it again. Good luck to myself.

Thanks

[MENTION=325306]DarkAngel[/MENTION]: I am looking at your response as an instructional guide for me to get the best out of this rom. I like TWRP; unfortunately, it does not work with any restore for MK4. Philz works more than just fine and that's the reason I am using it for MK4 backup and restore.

Thanks again

Love the screen shots, if I can ask, are you still limited to 4X4 Grid, or is there a mod, to change that. As well as the app bar on the bottom, limited to 6 icons, is that a mod for that too????

MK4

Okay I am running stock 4.3 (MK4) now. I had issues flashing from MC2 ROMs. When I tried flashing this ROM (which worked until I had to reboot), I got into a locked Samsung Note 2 screen. Had to unroot and go back to stock and have Sprint reset my phone. Now that I am on MK4, will it be a more stable install?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cuezaireekaa:
I use nova launcher. Up to 12x12 grids.

Bottom nav bar is possible with gravitybox for xposed framework

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Nav bar can also be enabled with a line in the build.prop. Although it is a basic bar while gravitybox allows you to customize it along with everything else.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Keithgordon:
If you EVER have any problems with any installation flash the zip from this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2086769

If you wish to install this Rom, you probably have to flash that first anyway...it will downgrade from MK4 to MC2, which is necessary because of the MK4 bootloader; otherwise I don't think this rom will run; there are instructions how to do it, somewhere in the first few pages of this thread, and it's pretty easy

The MC2 back to stock unrooted will fix your phone even when Sprint and Samsung can't, it is pretty awesome
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Smidgers:
Would you need to boot after installing the stock? Or can you flash over it right away?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
If you use the file linked above it will reboot on its own. It makes major changes to your device which requires a couple reboots to finalize.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Keithgordon:
Well, I just went through it, trying to get my phone to stop activating after every boot(which is another story...) anyway, I wanted to keep my data intact, so I flashed the stock MK4 in kies 3.0, still tried to activate, so I went to MC2-back to unrooted stock, which writes stock recovery, tz.img and param.bin,; I then tried to reboot the MC2, but it wouldn't it kept looping...so I set the wi-fi patch in the phone section and recovery in the PDA section(using v3.07) and deselected auto reboot. After it flashed, and completed, I held the power button in until it went off, then I powered into recovery and flashed the rom and all is well, for now...I hope this helps, excuse the play by play...

yes, what jlmancuso is saying is, it will reboot into a special bootloader/kernel to overwrite the bootloader and reset the flash counter....if you ever need to do a warranty repair, you can flash this just before upgrading to stock MK4 and it will show that you never flashed a custom rom...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] phonetec:
Love the ROM, hate the random reboot and freezing
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Keithgordon:
do yourself a favor, if you like the rom...

connect your phone to your pc, start kies 3, do a complete backup of everything...

reboot to philz recovery and do a factory data reset>wipe to install a new rom...

install the rom using philz recovery...

reboot into rom and sign into e'thing...

reconnect to kies 3.0 and do a complete restore...

trust me it helps
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] usarmyaircav:
I have never done a Kies backup. I will give that a go. Never hurts to have another backup.

Now I know someone is probably going to ask .....

Does it give us the option to just theme? Just curious and this is why i asked.......

In Aroma you will be presented with many options.

On each screen you will need to choose what you want to install.

If you choose to install the Rom then /system and /data will be wiped.

If you are doing a clean install pick what apps you want.

If you are updating make sure you pick the apps you already have and the ones you want to add. ​

You two, OP, and louforgiveno are just out right wrong. I have not had time to enjoy the 1.2 yet. Now, a newer one just born. downloading it right now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
So from what you quoted I would assume so. If you already have 1.2 there really is no gain but the audio. Although you can use this to debloat your current 1.2 rom and change your air command icons.

Pictures of the air command icons will be added to OP soon.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ianmb:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] na_tra:
You know I am losing so many hours of sleep until DarkAngel suggest me to wipe system, preload. So far so good. Hoping no more trouble. When everything went fine, it did not take long to get to 1.2. losing sleeping hour were went I forgot a step or two going back to MC unroot stock.

Thank you all for your dedication to Sprint Note2 even though Sprint's 4G is beyond HORRIBLE in San Francisco.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] 4lph4num3r1c:
Wait, we're supposed to flash back to unroot stock before we flash this? Coming from 4.1 i mean?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DarkAngel:
No it was only suggested incase anyone was having problems. It is what I did ( Me personally when testing out ROMs ) and others maybe have done. Some others may have started with lorjay's rom or also have been on another rom as to why or where they may have got that idea from as well.... from the tutorial's those DEV's provided.

This is a full rom. If your good then there is no reason to.

Many problems could be caused with a dirty flash or improper flash as to why I always start from a clean slate.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Keithgordon:
Not unless you are running 4.3 stock
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] na_tra:
No no. I just wanted to back to MC2 unroot first before I fixed those 4.3 deodex update again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] 4lph4num3r1c:
Thanks to all for chiming in. I flashed this a couple times already but had issues with me contacts and phone force closing. Just trying to figure out where i went wrong so i can do it right this time. I wiped everything including internal and I'm coming from 4.1 MC2.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DarkAngel:
Thank you Sir. I will try it when I get home as theming the Air Commands is one of several cool feature from this Rom that was placed in.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ianmb:
You did format internal sd right? I can't stress enough that with people having ANY issues should save whatever important things they have on internal sd and FORMAT INTERNAL SD! Then flash. It will be a better user experience! I think the AROMA installer does that for you though. But if just flashing ROM zip then PLEASE PLEASE FORMAT INTERNAL SD!

Brought to you by the letters A and Z!

old school for those who remember!

ANDROID...A New Digital Revolution Of Incredible Developers
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Keithgordon:
if youre coming from mc2, you need to flash this using the new post from the op, doing a full install, start kies 3 on your PC first and do a complete backup of everything first, after installing the ROM, flash the WiFi patch, then reboot, sign into everything, Samsung sync will restore your messages and stuff, then open kies3 and restore everything
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] 4lph4num3r1c:
I tried doing the kies backup but it says it only works with 4.3 or higher. (something like that) It's no bother though. I don't mind starting fresh. Thanks again. I'll report back sometime this weekend with me progress.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] na_tra:
Before last night, I formatted whatever on the internal SD and still had some minor hiccups. And did the same thing last night with extra step of formatting system and preload. Not sure if it would be any cleaner than formatting the internal SD alone. However, both phone r running fine without any issues.

Okay, just tried it. Pretty cool. I like how one has to check off the box and agree in order to continue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Smidgers:
I've been looking for a new ROM to try since I moved desks at work and now get terrible reception. I'm hoping that a TW ROM has better signal than ASAP. I was too impatient to get an SD card, so wiping internal was not on the books.

I saw a post stating that he had flashed the back to stock unrooted using TWRP, then flashing this rom via Philz.

I installed TRWP but was unable to flash the back to stock zip. Since I had already formatted everything, I decided to go ahead and switch back to Philz and give this a whirl. I started from a complete fresh setup with no restores other than a couple independent apps (such as sms backup & restore). I also had to flash the WiFi fix.

I am running xposed framework for app settings to change dpi and also some status bar mods.

I can report that in my personal experience I have had NO issues.This rom has been excellent. Although I'll have to wait until Monday to see if my signal at work improves.

I dont have an SPen (lost it). So coming back to TW and having the icon showing it's removed is annoying, but gives me incentive to get a new one.

The only questions I have at this time:

1) is there sms popup built into this?

2) I see the preview for sms pops up on the kick screen. But how do I access it? Everything I have tried does nothing or expands the clock widget.

Thanks for putting this out for public use!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Keithgordon:
Here, try this...go into Application manager and clear cache and data from the Wallet.apk, then boot into recovery and flash this, if you have the update from the the play store, uninstall that too

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Keithgordon:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Keithgordon:
http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2476023&d=1388084986

You might try this. This is the unsecured kernel, it has ro.secure=0, that might be the problem, like I said, its working perfectly on mine, I just sent myself $15, and it costed me 48 cents, lol. I'm not sure what else to try, except maybe install the rom again, only this time choose not to install google wallet, then after you flash the rom, flash the patch, but definitely try flashing the boot.img in this post
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jindelic:
Sorry about the 48 cents, lol Did you send money device to device, via NFC? Just downloaded the unsecured kernel, is it safe? Any concerns to be aware of?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Keithgordon:
Not at all, the only thing it insecures is the ability to adb for development. Samdung decided to try and keep developers out by setting the default properties to secure, I just changed these settings for development purposes. The kernel still has SELinux, which is googles security policies

No, I sent money from a giftcard to wallet and then made a deposit to my bank account, but it still runs on the same policies, except you might be bringing up an issue with NFC, does your nfc otherwise work well?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jindelic:
I am sorry, if I was not clear, Tap to pay (NFC Payments), is the issue I am having with wallet. Tap to pay errors out. NFC works fine, file transfers and such. Just the wallet app, will not setup tap to pay.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Keithgordon:
Ok, hmmm...gimme a minute while I learn how to use it, then I can run a logcat and see whats missing, or whatever...

Maybe I am having trouble understanding what you are trying to do, you are trying to send money from one phone to another in the same room?

I think NFC wont work on rooted devices, but I'm researching now, so gimme a few

Tap to pay, allows you to pay at stores, using google wallet, VIA NFC.

Do you have a root explorer, like Super Manager? If so, go into /system/app and delete Wallet.apk, I think I left off a forward slash in the update script of the file I sent you, you might just be able to that and reboot, but if that doesnt work, try this

this is a newer version of the wallet fix, but again, it might mess up your NFC, but this time, I can give you a patch, because I am already putting one together

Are you on the version I just posted today? not that it would have any bearing, but when I saw your post I checked mine because that isn't something I checked; it works just fine on mine, on the new version. some reasons that might happen is if you have a version update on the data partition and in the system partition; for instance, if you did a full wipe, rom install, then data restore from recovery or titanium backup. check the Google play and see if you have gmail installed as a play store app, if so, uninstall it, then reinstall it. that way the phone knows it was updated. hope this helps
