[Galaxy Note II General] estugarda:
So let's hit the good old question;

Are there any new Samsung-specific features on official 4.4.2, or are we still stuck with a 2 year old Samsung apps like on 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.3?
[Galaxy Note II General] rraaka:

[Galaxy Note II General] estugarda:
Hey, are there any differences in Samsung apps? Any Note-3 features? What version is the SNote app?
[Galaxy Note II General] dalanik:
Hmm, I thought official ROMs have bootloader? Where did you get Mobil-odin flashable version? Or is it enough to flash standard stock ROM with mobile Odin in order to avoid flashing bootloader? You STILL have MJ5?
[Galaxy Note II General] Androidwizzard:
Mobile Odin can't flash bootloader, that is a fact
[Galaxy Note II General] quang_nguyen:
Confirm this :)

I have just flashed N7100XXUFND3 via Odin 3.09 while I am using MJ5 bootloader and stock 4.3 rom (Vietnam market)
[Galaxy Note II General] gencho81:
can you post a screenshot from Android Info app to confirm that after flash you are still with MJ5 Bootloader?

I think you are on new bootloader now with Knox Warranty Bit.

Wifi and Bluetooth issues

Hi Smeet,

I am on 4.4.2 and ND3 bootloader. My wifi and bluetooth both are only working occasionally (When i reset phone and when I go to flight mode and come back) Have seen a few people have wifi issues with ND3 and 4.4.2 but no solution as such. I was wondering if flashing a new modem could help me resolve my wifi issues. Do I face any risks in doing so?

I'll also wait for ARHD or FF ROM, hopefully the SD-restriction is solved by the custom ROMs and it's deodexed, rooted and knox free, all other things can be easy made by one self (e.g. debloating or theming).

Hope that something will be available to be flashed this weekend.

Just installed official 4.4.2 from sammobile.com. A little report:

Began with full wipe from recovery before proceeding.

Flashed via PC Odin and bootloader is N7100XXUFND3 according to https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo

Succesfully rooted via http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/

[Galaxy Note II General] Iredion:
I don't really know. I think it was MK4, since I have previously installed stock 4.3 and have knox void=1. Since knox is void I just want the latest bootloader now. I think it's unavoidable to get bootloader upgrade if you install any stock rom, at least through pc odin.
[Galaxy Note II General] smeet.somaiya:
Yes it's unavoidable provided you remove the bootloader file from the .tar archive.

I am thinking to flash this. Can you tell me what was your previous build no.? It would have been NA1 if you took all the updates.

What about Changelist and Note 3 features?

hi all,

everyone here has been posting about flashing, rooting and bootloader. But none has talked in much about new features apart from traditional kitkat features that would come.

Are there any new NOTE 3 features for which we were so excited. Apart from wallet and knox, what about the UI? Any changes?

Has anyone prepared a changelist or something like that? I am still more interested in new Samsung based features and especially NOTE 3 s-pen features if any.

Why? Because my note 2 features were spread to all phones and note 2 has not got any blessings yet. So if possible kindly post some changes.

Cheers!

[Galaxy Note II General] iamnayan:
Well that suggests last night you had dream of your Galaxy s5 and yet to be release Note 4 getting feature updates from Galaxy S7 and Note 6. Well quite an advanced dream you had.

All i wanted to know was if there are note 3 features and the answer i have got. That's it.

And why? For obvious reasons, it was said in a statement Samsung intends to update its previous flagship devices contending for the update cycle with new features from latest device at that time when Note 3 was released. This was when we were eagerly expecting for android 4.3 and to bundle it with Note 3 features in premium suite update. Note and Galaxy s3 accordingly were provided with Note 2 features and so expecting the same one would really intent to believe in Note 2!

So that was a very obvious question to ask, atleast from a user point of view.

From company point of view, everyone knows who the hell would buy their Note 3 neo costing the same about Note 2 then, well that's for the company to think and is really pissing off consumers with multiple devices launch and forgetting their own flagships of some time back.

Galaxy s3 has had its share pretty well, but NOTe2 never had. Neither the 4.2.2 update on time and just minor updates in form of 4.3 and 4.4. Everyone knows some months from now there would be a new android and one can not expect the next update to come through to Note 2!
[Galaxy Note II General] FUSIONdev:
WTF........

The new position toggle is totally unuseful (on the first leaked it had some sense ... it toggled the High precision and power saving mode... now it toggles HIGH PRECISION and LOCALIZATION OFF)

And then: the numpad for lockscreen pin is too little -.-

Samsung, what the hell!!!
[Galaxy Note II General] Androidwizzard:
They call it Kids Mode, yeah S5 feature :highfive:
[Galaxy Note II General] FUSIONdev:
I'm wondering the leaked was better. Really better.

With this numpad I enter always the wrong pin for unlock -.- I don't understand why waste all that available space on a 5.5 inch display -.-

But I really hate the localization toggle. Really. Damn samsung.
[Galaxy Note II General] Androidwizzard:
There was nothing to be expected with this update and Samsung perfectly did: NOTHING

It consumes less RAM memory.

Now it use 550-600mb RAM instead of 700-900mb.

That's make my Note visibly smoother. I think because the low RAM it consume less battery instead of Android 4.3 but I can't confirm that.

I reverted back to Android 4.3 because you can't root the new version with Kingoroot, well yiu can but it will trip KNOX!
[Galaxy Note II General] FUSIONdev:
4.3 has been the worst update I've received.

[Galaxy Note II General] darkchazz:
There is nothing kitkat about this update except for the white status bar icons...

Many other areas of the ui are still blue.

Some changes I noticed compared to 4.3 :

There is a noticeable speed improvement

The multitasking menu has been butchered. it looks terrible and some animations were removed.

Turning off the screen with power button: the display now fades out like nexus devices instead of instantly turning off.

New camera shortcut in lockscreen. and you can set default camera app for it. I recommend the new google camera app :)

New "Default applications" menu in the settings. Allows you to set default launcher and sms apps etc...

GPS toggle has been replaced with a "Location" toggle. Complete with a new location menu in the settings (a standard kitkat change).

Samsung clock app has a new "Desk Clock" tab.

Calculator UI change. Now with square/rectangular buttons instead of circular.

Settings icon has been updated.

EDIT: also tweaked keyboard with emoji support

I advise everyone to wait for custom Note3/S5 themed roms instead of flashing this stock one....
[Galaxy Note II General] smeet.somaiya:
The desk clock existed previously also..

Anyway thanks for taking time out and writing the changelist. :)

Since there are many questions about bootloader, in my case, I never upgraded since my Note 2 was new.

My bootloader is UDBMA1 from ICS I believe.

From JB 4.1.2 forward the ROMs were Dr. Ketan v3, v4,v5,v6.1 with Dr. Ketan Wifi fix.

Now its running Kitkat JellyKat 4.4.2 V4 and just installed the V5. Same old bootloader.

Knox has always been disabled (by removing or freezing the related apps)

No problems so far and super fast.

[Galaxy Note II General] mcpdigital:

[Galaxy Note II General] vladeco:
I justo installed this rom and I think it's ALMOST perfect. My issues are with the poorly / half translated interface in my language (Portuguese) and with the Lockscreen PIN numbers - they're ridiculously small!

At least they updated our launcher with the one from S4 (we now have an option to uninstall / disable on the top row)

Now I'll go back to my 4.3 backup until a version that fixes those issues is released. Or until someone creates a stock rom with note 3 features / S5 theme based on this one.

Enviado do meu iPad usando o Tapatalk
[Galaxy Note II General] mcpdigital:
In a couple of weeks JellyKat will be based on this official one.

For now the JellyKat v5 is exactly what you ask. TW ROM with all the features of the Note 3 and S5 (when possible)

[Galaxy Note II General] jlieu:
I tried already, only MJ5 or later bootloader wont have the problem of Sudden death syndrome or freeze problem when running JB firmware or kitkat firmware. but later than mj5 bootloader will effect the knox warranty bit.
[Galaxy Note II General] mcpdigital:
I really thought this problem was fixed in JB 4.1.2 and later. This was the last official ROM I installed on the Note 2. So the bootloader came from there.

Where can I find more info about the SDS affecting JB because of the bootloader, I do not want to loose this phone.
