Firstly, this is an awesome ROM, I love it. :good:

The ONLY problem I seem to be having after doing a clean install, wiping cache/s and data FOUR times on each of the four attempts of installing the ROM is: When I go into "Settings" > "Connections" > "More Networks" > "Mobile Networks" to change my APN I can't get that far after clicking "Mobile Networks". I get the error "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped".

Could you please help me? I'd truly appreciate it. It's the only bug I'm encountering. I can't just use wireless, I have to set the APN for AT&T :).

I tried to get access into "Mobile Networks" in safe mode too, still a no go.

Thank you,

EDIT: I resolved it by adding ril.sales_code=LOL and ro.csc.sales_code=LOL in the build prop.

doesnt install at all on twrp and installation aborted error on cwm

Hi I tried installing this first on cwm. I got an error 3 times... Error 7 it said.. Although it did install I had no wifi and I lost data on first reboot after updating APN.....I thought that it may be the Recovery's fault so I installed twrp. No errors and says successful but it stalls at the Google loading screen with the 4 circles dancing for at least 15 minutes...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Thumprxl:
I ran into a problem with the apn not sticking. Everything else it's working fine but I get the circle with the line thru it. If I can keep my phone connected to Verizon this rom would rock!!! It initially worked with Verizon settings and when it stopped working the settings were still there. I deleted them and created a fresh one but it didn't work. Any ideas why?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobysnack:
Are you on RC1? We have addresses the APN issue and is fixed with the new update that's about to come out :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kingamra:
Tried this rom thia past week... couldnt get the damn apn to work... manually added... booted stock rom and used apn backup/restore.. nothing...

The rom is was running had a major meltdown at disney world... so I flashed yours again... I also flashed the apn zip from a few pages back... went to manually add via op and they took great!

Thanks scoob and stvn!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
Great to hear :) I'm currently building RC2.5 which has scoobys working APN baked in (no more manual APN ) along with some slight performance tweaks. we will release it hopefully within the next hour.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
Alright guys, I put a link up to the newest RC2.5 build. :)

There is also a link to Scoobys APN patch for those who don't want to clean flash the new release.

ENJOY!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Pikeypete:
It's G1.5.

Darn, I just got everything set up the way I wanted it lol.

What changes and performance tweaks have been added in the RC2.5 release?

I'm loving the ROM, lots.

Have you thought about offering people the option of downloading flashable updates through the "System Updates" setting up a default download folder on their device? Just a suggestion of course :)

Pikeypete.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobysnack:
The RC2 base does not play well with the RC1 base. I think you wool be satisfied with RC2.5 do a titanium backup then restore :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Pikeypete:
May I ask what improvements there are? I was looking for the changelog. I just woke, maybe I need more coffee :)

I notice the new release is smaller in size than the G1.5 release.

I'll do a full fresh install, it's downloading right now.

Edit: Downloaded and installed.

Just so you know though, I downloaded from the link: "SkyNote Air RC2.5 LINK" and installed. Under the setting it's showing as SN-Air-G2, not 2.5.

Damn this is a smooth Rom :eek:

Pikeypete
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
RC2.5 is exactly the same as RC2 except the APNs work automatically and a few small performance tweaks. (Mostly services.jar smali edits)

I was going to include some other performance tweaks but they haven't been tested completely and we strive to put quality first. So we will save those for RC3. ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
I think baking OTA updates would be a great idea. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try to set it up for by the next build. [emoji106]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] monkeyass408:
cant get to the apn options. Its not there? still no data with 2.5
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobysnack:
Install the APN widget it will take you to the apns.

OK sorry for the mixup the apn is not setting I'm going to fix that right now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
Okay guys, RC2.5 has been REdone and REupped.

We also included the OTAUpdateCenter so all future builds should alert you with the update prompt. sorry for the inconvenience earlier.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Goody68:
Can this be dirty fladhed over RC2?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
A dirty flash should be okay. :)

i suggest at least wiping DALVIK cache though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Pikeypete:
You used my idea huh? I'll check my mailbox for a bottle of Bud in a couple of days lol.

Nice work.

I'll RE-download and RE-install, AGAIN :silly:

I'm glad I discovered this ROM. For the last few days I was using another but it was way too buggy, too many errors, even though I resolved a few of them myself I gave up with it.

This ROM is pretty much good to go right out of the box. You have a new follower. :good:

*Pete tips hat*

Pikeypete.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobysnack:
I did the dirty from a backup and it seems fine.

---------- Post added at 10:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 PM ----------

I hope this is the last time you have to reinstall. The data issue has been plaguing us. We want this ROM to be as complete and bug free as a stock ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Pikeypete:
To be honest it pretty much is. I was actually surprised at how bug free it actually was/is.

The APN wasn't really an issue, I just added to the build.prop. Apart from that it's pretty much plain sailing.

That doesn't mean I won't be checking this thread daily though, I like to keep my finger on the pulse :p

Thanks again.

Pikeypete.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
I did :) and I gave you credit for the idea in the OP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] momule:
After a clean flash of both rc2 and 2.5 I have Data but no tethering. Smote widget crashes and I believe the other was a keyboard error.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Pikeypete:
Quick input:

I downloaded the latest build, wiped the cache/s and data (three times) and performed a totally clean install. Set up the APN and all the apps I typically use and I've discovered I have ZERO issues. I pretty much went through everything, even things that I'd typically never use.

Maybe subconsciously I was trying to find an error ;)

A good release :good:

Secondly: I've read a couple of posts regarding people having errors and mentioning performing a dirty flash. I've never ever seen the logic in that. On occasion you're overwriting files that have already been accessed and written to, in turn replacing them with pretty much virgin files which DOES cause problems.

It's just my two cents but when a FULL release and not just random a update is made public (like this one), install it as a clean install.

Cutting corners by not spending the time to back up apps and whatever else you use and not doing a full wipe and installing 'dirty' is just nuts.

But, that's just my two cents. :eek:

Thanks to everybody involved :silly:

Pikeypete
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Goody68:
Thanks stvn1337:thumbup: RC2 was running perfect for me but wanted the updated 2.5! Wiped Dalvik cashe and dirty flashed… One random reboot at first but all has settled and working beautifully :D

Thanks again for an awesome awesome rom!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lentm:
I had RC1 and started to fail to send txts. Flashed RC2.5, now works fine. Now updated phone app doesnt show contact names but numbers only on logs and when I receive or send a call. I thought this is not a big issue, but its a big pain when someone calls me I dont know who it is...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kingamra:
Anyone having challenges with voice control? Everytime I select an option and back out to settings it turns voice control off automatically...

Scoob and stvn... I used the first skynote .... man you guys out did yourselves with this release....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobysnack:
Install sVoice that will fix voice control. Sorry about that.

---------- Post added at 01:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:16 PM ----------

I'm not sure I understand what issue your having. Are you saying the call log only shows the number you called or called you with no other info? Did you do a clean install RC1 and RC2.5 don't pay well together.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikelikesbikes:
When I first installed my contacts were only half there. I went in and manually synced them again and they all showed up. If that's what you're getting maybe you can give that a shot unless you have already.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JeramyEggs:
The link is suspended in Google drive is there any mirror's? Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chizler:
So all I need to do is a clean install with the new 2.5 and everything should work, I just want to make sure. I'm not real comfortable messing with the build prop.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chiefsfan69:
Galaxy Gear Working!!

Galaxy Gear should be working, but for anyone having issues with the weather not synching, go to this link download and flash and things should work perfectly. https://www.copy.com/s/3OafxYewCseZ/Galaxy Gear OneStopShop5.zip

Edit: Also this is not my work nor did I find it so don't give me the credit. Scoobysnack is the one who found it. So you can thank him or whoever has made the fix! I was just posting to help out
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kingamra:
do any of the old mods from original 4.3 sky note work in this version? i.e. Sky Note 4.3 Note 3 Launcher 5x6.zip? Louder-Volume-stvn1337?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobysnack:
We have not tried them. When I get some free time I'll see if the work :)

---------- Post added at 06:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:37 PM ----------

Yes everything should work right out the box.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chizler:
Thanks, will download and give a try when I get off work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] monkeyass408:
hey scooby and stvn1337, would you guys consider doing a debloated version of this rom or like an aroma install so we can pick what apps we want to use? i love the stability of this rom but theres just so much stuff that i will never touch in terms of apps. (can manually remove them in the zip before flash but i dont want any fc later or bootloops when maybe a newer port version is out.)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobysnack:
Are you wanting to n keep the note 3 features? We actually have talked about a debloated version. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] monkeyass408:
yeh. a debloated with note 3 features would be awesome.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chizler:
i have downloaded 3 times now and the md5 doesnt match the one from the op. any tips guys.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] italbomber:
+1 for debloated. Great rom just "HEAVY"

Although I mentioned that to scoob already :) Great job guys Getting this rom stable and running brilliant.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] neorecon:
So I'm not new to flashing Roms and have been running slim on my phone for a while but I'm unfamiliar with ones from a different base. What's the advantages / disadvantages of using something like this that isn't based on a verizon base?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobysnack:
The advantage of this ROM is it has a stock look and feel with all the Note 3 features working that's not limited to hardware :) Read a few pages of post and you will see there are not many bugs in this ROM so you can run it right out the box :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] neorecon:
I get that, and thanks for the response. But are there any downsides to using a ROM that is based on an at&t versus one based on Verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bonkurei:
just finished downloading the new 2.5 but my download gave me different md5 from the op, mine is 65267b1739ba6778908a3e79f463ec6d.

gonna try and download again, tyvm for this great rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Goody68:
No downsides, it runs just like its on a verizon base! They have done an amazing job on this rom porting all Note3 features and runs super smooth! Give it a shot. You got nothin to lose:thumbup:

---------- Post added at 08:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:58 PM ----------

Just make sure you do a back-up of your current rom:D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nosit1:
So, I downloaded and clean flashed (wiped SD card too). I can't seem to get wifi, wifi tethering, or All Share mirroring working. Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobysnack:
Have you flashed the mj9 parameters?

---------- Post added at 04:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:35 AM ----------

I will double check the MD5 in the morning. I think there may have been some changes and forgot to update the MD5. I'm sorry for any inconvenience.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nosit1:
No...and I was afraid of that (assuming you mean ODIN to MJ9). I'm currently on i605vrall4. I'm not sure I should bite the bullet or not. I am using HDMI much more for TV, but conversely at the same time options.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Pikeypete:
I'm hoping this helps.

I had the same error, only just with the screen mirror function.

For the screen mirror flash this in RECOVERY:

http://www.mediafire.com/download/lcbwuohbcteyh39/Screen_Mirror_-_Flash.zip

Pikeypete.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nosit1:
No luck unfortunately for the Screen Mirror. Saw that you retracted the Wifi fix though from your edit.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Pikeypete:
Yes, it was after I read the following post regarding the fact that you're not on mj9, unfortunately.

I'm actually on MC3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nosit1:
So while I was not able to get it working in SkyNote Air, probably due to incompatibilities with not using MJ9 bootloaders and such, the Screen Cast fix did work for another ROM that all other features were working for.

Much appreciated!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Pikeypete:
Well good, all was not lost then ;)

I have a wifi fix but I don't remember which one it was for. Making it trickier that you're not on the correct baseband.

As long as you backup the /etc/wifi/ directory you're more than willing to try it.

Just make sure you set the permissions to allow you to overwrite then reboot. If it doesn't resolve the issue you can always simply revert within a minute.

Extract and replace in the /etc/wifi/ directory, it's NOT a flashable file.

http://www.mediafire.com/download/471jb6asespv52z/Wifi-fix.zip

This might come across as a stupid question but you do actually have data setup correct? You set your APN after the install of the ROM?

Pikeypete
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nosit1:
Tried Netflix with the AllShare on Alliance. Unfortunately, too much latency to keep up with streaming. :(

I did have data on SkyNote when I flashed it. I had to use Bluetooth tether to my radio to get home since Wifi tether wouldn't work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Pikeypete:
Odd, I used the same fix for the screen mirror, Netflix works well.

Different ROM however.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kingamra:
I had different md5 v. posted also on multiple downloads yesterday. Since all my downloads were the same, I flashed it - works great. Flashed 2.5 - no APN data or MMS issues...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kingamra:
[MENTION=2310748]stvn1337[/MENTION] 's louder volume mod zip appears to work nicely

looking through my collection of zip's from the old rom... is PageBuddy.zip cooked in?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JeramyEggs:
I have downloaded 2.5 multiple times, and the md5 sum doesn't match. Is it the correct md5, or did you guys forget to change it? Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BBowermaster:
To be honest, thats one of the reasons I switched to N3bula. I'll never use Google Launcher, 2 different email apps, etc...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] italbomber:
There are a lot of good 4.3 write ups on how to debloat and which apks etc. Can be removed and what there purpose was. I have sky note kinda disected on my laptop editing the apps files folder of some of the junk in there. The biggest thing is that the note 3 features take up a bunch of space and add alot to the note 2. It's just about removing what you don't use to slim it down.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kingamra:
I had a different md5 than the one in the op

After downloading the rom a bunch of times all with the same md5 I ended up dirty flashing it (wipe out wipe of data etc) over current rom. Since the install worked without a hitch (I wonder where that saying came from?) I went back want wiped data cache dalvik and installed fresh...

Battery great... not one fc. .. solid and stable...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] eZdubzitmk4:
Ok general consensus is the OP has the wrong md5 posted lol. So don't worry about the md5

GPS issues

I have been trying to get GPS to get a fix.....very strange every other rom, I've had no issues with GPS. With this rom and using GPS toolbox I get 0 sats.....just sits and spins...looking for GPS location. I have formatted and wiped with each flash....reflashed the MJ9 firmware....tried dirty flashing on top and nothing seems to allow me to get a fix.

I have tried replacing both of the gps files in lib\hw files as well as ect\gps.conf, set them back with the same permissions that the original files had. Have also tried using the A-GPS injector listed in the second post......have also tried faster fix.....none of these options have allowed me to even see one gps sat. I have left the phone sit for 30 minutes and still not one sat is in view......

Does anyone have any suggestions? Please help a directionally challenged individual get his GPS working again.

On a different note....this rom is excellent and everything other than GPS has worked perfectly from the initial flash....Thanks for all of your time developers!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Pikeypete:
I have a complaint. :eek:

It's the first time I've not had to do anything to a ROM and I've been round for quite a while (I had an old profile on here also).

I'm so used to having to fix a few bugs and tinker around within any given ROM, I'm almost bored lol.

BUT, I won't be switching to any other, I actually like it, a lot. Best one I've had on the Note 2.

I just need to find something to fix the boredom.. lol

I noticed just recently my battery was draining. I did a look see and realized the kernel is rocking my phone anyone else have this going on?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] prscott1:
I looked at my battery consumption using RC2.5 and as expected, the screen was my largest consumer at 48% - my Android OS came in second at 19%. Check the battery usage using the settings --> battery and see if the same as your app.

Use better battery stats. The stock battery info doesn't tell crap lol

But in the past my battery hasn't drained this bad. I will accept my screenv@ high % BC that's my doing but it seems that the battery is getting drained a lot in just 2 days...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
Okay, sorry everyone. Ill fix the OP. I havent been on here because I was in the hospital, but im back and good to go now. :)

EDIT: OP has been fixed. the problem was we had to make a last minute build.prop edit and forgot to recalculate the checksum.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobysnack:
Are you on RC 2.5?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Flipdog:
Yes I am. It is very strange...when checking gps toolbox I never see any sats. Never....its like the GPS isn't functioning.....but when I turn it off...gps toolbox says that its off.....

Should I try and older version....like v2?

Thanks much!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stvn1337:
Just to check, did you check the md5 to make sure you had a good download?

since there's no md5 hash checking when flashing in recovery, it will sometimes flash even if the download was a little... incomplete.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Flipdog:
I have tried this as well....no difference. Would love to get this working. I have been over a lot of threads about gps issues and have tried what was suggested....install apps to edit gps.config..edit manually....swap out lib files with verizon and other working roms. Flashing with and with wiping....restoring....get fix on other rom and then flash this one.

Whats really strange is that everything else works...and works perfectly....any other rom I try has 2 or 3 little nagging issues...this one does not! If I could only see some sats....

thanks again!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Flipdog:
Honestly, no I did not check...but I did download 2 different times today, and once yesterday. All three installed and acted the same way....perfect other than gps. I will check the md5, just to make sure it is matching.

Just checked the zip on my sd card and the md5 does match the one listed in the first post. 65267b1739ba6778908a3e79f463ec6d
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jcollier:
I'm actually having the same GPS issues. I even tried the whole restore stock rom, get GPS lock, reboot to recovery, and restore this rom. Still no luck..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Flipdog:
Sounds like we are having the same issue. When you open gps toolbox do you ever see any sats? I can leave it at that screen for any amount of time 5mins to 1.5 hours and never see any sats...strange....tried 2 other roms...factory and custom and they both show sats when opening...yellow and grey...but does take 15 or 20 secs to lock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jcollier:
I actually just checked the updated MD5 against my download, and they do not match. I am going to re-download and install before I test anything else.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
This rom looks brilliant, I too have issues with att based roms and gps...

Think maybe you guys can use sophisticated as a base if the dev will allow it so the unfortunate lot like me can feel some full n3 features love?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Flipdog:
I just tried the RC1 version and I'm still seeing the same issue with GPS.....never sees any sats....none at all. I really want to run this rom....has everything I need and feels great.....but I really need the GPS.....Does anyone have any suggestions.....maybe a different kernel? Was hoping since it appeared to be a factory kernel in RC2.5 that the agni kernel in RC1 may allow something different with GPS.....

EDIT......I just swapped out the gps so file with the verizon one and rebooted.....when phone came backup.....I was not able to open GPS Status toolbox (sorry was calling it the wrong name) and when opening maps I would get no GPS icon.....replaced the verizon gps so file with original and rebooted......GPS status toolbox now opens and actually sees sats....has not locked yet....but does see sats.....Could this be related to the kernel? Is there an agni kernel for RC2.5?

Sorry for taking up so many posts.....I just really want this rom to work!
