ARCHIVE - PREVIOUS VERSIONS (Android 4.3)​

NOTE: this is a port for note 8.0 wifi N5110/3g N5100 ONLY!!

edit: n5100 soon delayed beta available

edit: the installation problems for yNote kona 1.1a have been fixed

this is a port of samsung stock android 4.3 with note3 features supported by a custom kernel. I have been using this for a month and no problems so far for daily uses. however if u are a gamer, u may be disappointed since some of the sensors are not working properly atm.

I wanna to share my mods for long but this is the 1st one actually released to the public. the main reasons for keeping my works for my own use was I don think I can have time to maintain them without moving on to the next I wanna do what I really wanna do like incorpoating new things and put my ideas and changes into my rom, rather than just fixing users problems. on the other hand I would like to share my works and mods to those with similar likings, as long as the mods are stable enough.

I like tabletui and thus I made some mods before for my own use which you can find some of the screenshots on my blog. I enjoy to mod my rom in my own way with the features l want to have and the look I like and thats why I keep modding my note2 and note8 for a long time for myself solely.

I know it is a trade off, to keep modding or to share. but at last I decided to share this as a basic and functional rom which I believe it is good enough for normal daily uses. and as to release this rom, I spent almost a week's time to remove those non standard things in order to let you guys to use it compfortablely without worries. all these changes were made just for those who like my works, which I didnt have to do if I chose not to release this rom. so it is dedicated for you and I hope you will like this.

thank you

screen capture in all orientations

disable some useless screen updates when screen is off to save battery (exclusive on earth)

disabled full screen keyboard in landscape mode

​

QUAD VIEW MULTIWIN SCREENSHOTS:

​

STABILITY TESTS AND BATTERY USAGE (tested on my note2lte with the same ported kernel):

kept the screen off

woke up for every 5 mins

waited for 30 seconds and back to deep sleep mode

manually turned the device on and off occasionally

tested for 2 days 14 hours and 30 minutes without a single freeze/crash

FAQ:

My device got stuck in boot loop/stays at the Samsung Logo after installing the rom

- most probably, as stated in the instruction, you have not reformatted your data partition before or right after the installation is finished, just do it now by rebooting into recovery mode

I got "Assert error 7 when installing roms and updates"

- in short, this is a compatability issue that make it unable to determine the device model. i will update the binary later and in the mean time, please upgrade to 6.09.6+ if you are using philz touch recovery

No log from logcat, how can i read the log?

- a logger control is implemented in the kernel and the default is disabled, read this for how to re-enable it

INSTRUCTIONS - N5110:

BACKUP FIRST!! your /system, /cache and dalvik-cache WILL BE WIPED

format the data partition is suggested as to avoid problems in data migration, database upgrades and FCs

save to internal/external sdcard (if supported by your recovery)

choose install zip in recovery and select the file you just saved

reboot the device and wait for device initialization to finish (about 3 minutes)

INSTRUCTIONS - N5100:

perform all steps for N5110 above, but DO NOT REBOOT your phone at this point and stay in the recovery mode

install yNote-N5110-extra

reboot the device and wait for device initialization to finish (about 3 minutes)

ADVANCED FEATURES/SETTINGS/TUNNINGS:

CPU OC/UV init scripts

Enabling/Disabling logger control

MDNIE hijack color control
