Use TWRP v2.7.0.2 & above to flash the ROM & verify the MD5 checksum before flash

Did you choose Full Wipe during installation? Use TWRP v2.7.0.2 & above to flash the ROM & verify the MD5 checksum before flash. Cheers. :D
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] zaydvath:
Yup.

Didn't miss a thing
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] xbean:
Choose Full Wipe during installation

Which recovery & version are you using? Use TWRP v2.7.02 & above then choose Full Wipe during installation, you should be able to get a working ROM without any FCs. Cheers. :D
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] pankaj_GB:
Have u installed any other mod???
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] zaydvath:
Came from stock rom 4.4.2

Flash using twrp 2.7.2.0

I do full wipe.

No mod installed

Maybe i'll try to re flash it later since it doesn't bother me too much
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] xbean:
Verify the MD5 checksum against 8DA06E7953E01447BA6E768F45E5F0EC

It shouldn't be any problem. Since you've flashed stock v4.4.2 ROM, your bootloader should be never than MJ5.

Verify the MD5 checksum on your phone using ES file explorer or similar root explorer against 8DA06E7953E01447BA6E768F45E5F0EC. If it matches then proceed to flash. Otherwise, please download again. Have a nice journey with Phantom v5. Cheers. :D
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] zaydvath:
I already check md5 checksum using Solid Explorer and match.

Maybe I just unlucky.

Re flash it later.

Thanks for your respons guys
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] pankaj_GB:
Yes then just reflashing will do the trick..I will recommend to do a complete fresh install with formatting each partition including internal memory but make backup of data of internal memory
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
Sharing my thoughts with you guys. ...

I am really thinking to make a stock kitkat rom with just stock apps and options to debloat. Rom without n3 or s5 features but just with simple mods.

Just thinking...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Hnktc:
Make it with next KitKat release, imho it's better to earn time.. or not?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Androidwizzard:
I think NE1 and ND3 are nearly the same (generally speaking) and [MENTION=3931450]dr.ketan[/MENTION] already has made a ND3 base with options to debloat and fixes, I agree with [MENTION=4239891]Hnktc[/MENTION] to wait for next firmware variant with remarkable changes.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] xbean:
Yes, do it with v4.4.3.

Not sure whether Samsung will release one for N7100. May be you can help to port from Note 3. Cheers. :D
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
Just my thought..

These stock users hardly stick to a ROM but always prefer to move on latest so you have to make every time new rom to keep it live.

What i think more better is to make a aroma pack and can be flash on any stock odex/deodexed ROM so user can have it with them and can use over any stock KK ROM
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] xbean:
Android v4.4.4 is out

Dr. Ketan's suggestion is great.

Android v4.4.4 is out. Got it from XDA. Time to get ready ODIN & custom recovery. Cheers. :D
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
TouchWiz ?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] xbean:
No, Nexus 5. :crying:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Androidwizzard:
Android 4.4.4

It is only a security update, which won't make root and pre-root easier :eek::crying:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] agrttc:
Any solution, please?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] zaydvath:
How to disable caller id read out?

Fyi :

Hands free mode : off

Talk back : off

Voice control incoming call : off
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] xbean:
Do the following steps:

Do the following steps:

1. Enable Hands free mode

2. Uncheck all options under Hands free mode

3. Bingo
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] zaydvath:
Its work!

Thanks for your quick response
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] xbean:
Have a nice journey with Phantom v5

You're welcome.

Have a nice journey with Phantom v5. Cheers. :D
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
[MENTION=3931450]dr.ketan[/MENTION]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Valuable to me.

I need to understand more. Aroma pack for what exactly ? What features ?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
I mean you said you want to release stock roms with mods, so I want to say that if you just release mods pack then it will be more useful. Users can just get stock rom (usually available here /can get from sammobile) and can use your mods pack. Also you won't need to update full rom with every release. (as you said you planning to fade out from note2 forum)

Also debloating can be added in aroma script

BTW it's just thought, you can decide best.

Thank you.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
Agree.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Mustinky:
No mirrors for resources except mega ??
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Banutu:
Hey Hnktc, do you have any version mod for V4 like:

SystemUI: No s-finder, No Q-connect, No s-finder and sensitive touch toggles

??
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] xbean:
There is a dev host mirror

Yes, there is a dev host mirror here. Cheers. :D
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] rajil.s:
There is some news about Sfinder security update for S5. Anybody heard of that? Should be important for this ROM too.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Mustinky:
Thnx mate, but I meant the rom resources not the rom itself
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Banutu:
Please sir, make a Stock Rom version with the following choices:

Stock look or S5 Look

Stock S-Pen features or Air Command S-Pen Features

We have Rom resources in case we want S5 Apps.

And Include Call notification pop-up. In Call status pop ups and Show caller Information

And Answering and Ending Calls Stock (answer by home button) (end call by power button)

I personally only updated to V4 cause of the S5 looks, and the 3 Options in call notifications pop-ups... I don't even use the S5 features, when I first used your Rom i was in love with its simplicity and choices of installing apps, now it slowly becomes DN3 ditto...

PS: Tell me how to remove the S-Finder and Quick Connect from Notification bar, thanks.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
Rule of the thumb in xda.

Please don't compare to DN3 team. They are better devs than me.

For SFinder and quick connect in notification bar.

You can use [MENTION=4239891]Hnktc[/MENTION] mods in his signature.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Banutu:
DN3 is a great rom as well, I used it but It didn't attract me and don't care who's better as long as a user I prefer your stuff.

In his mods he adds home launcher up top and OG battery, and I don't want those, I just want to remove the S-Finder and Quick Connect from the notification, I manage to remove them from expandable notifications, but I want those 2 buttons from above brightness bar to remove...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] afarkas:
Are you aware of the fact that when aplying your statusbar mod, it disables the call button in call logs?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] singhpratik87:
xposed module called xposed g touchwiz removes s finder and quick connect from notication panel.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] jimlivingston:
Not working for me. Coming from DN3 to this doesn't seem to work. Stuck on Samsung logo. Tried flashing twice. No dice.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] singhpratik87:
Which recovery are you using?Did you wipe your system entirely by going under advanced wipe if under twrp or by going under mounts and storage in philz and formatting format/system, format/cache, format/preload , format/data and format/data and data/media (/sdcard).Then wipe cache and dalvik cache and lastly wipe data/factory reset and choose Clean to install a New ROM.Done
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Banutu:
Oo thanks a lot man, by the way do you have any idea how can I make this font fit?

I have S5 Mod launcher 4x4 5x5
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] singhpratik87:
You modded your S5 launcher didn't you? Sometimes some fonts do get cut out for certain apps or misaligned try using a thinner font or condensed font
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] jimlivingston:
PhilZ Touch 5.

Was installing from internal SD, now that your steps wiped it, I will have download it again on my PC and try it from the external.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] singhpratik87:
Upgrade to philz touch 6 from here flash it using your existing recovery.

Also one should only put the installation zip file in internal sd card after wiping their internal memory clean,not sure what steps you followed prior to putting the ROM zip file in there but a clean wipe is must.Remember that future ROMs when you switch from one developer's ROM to another.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] jimlivingston:
How do you put a file onto the internal SD after you wipe it? I mean, you how do access it if you cannot boot up? I've bounced around many ROMs. I have a whole or had a whole directory full of them on the internal SD. Never had this problem before. Not once in the seven years I've been here.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] singhpratik87:
Things change in seven years don't you think? Do you have a micro sd card reader? If yes that's how you put back the rom zip file in your external sd card?You don't have any back up of any ROM on your external sd card? Those 7 years of being on xda didn't teach you about having a back up of at least one ROM in situations like these?

I also apologize that i didn't warn you that wiping /data and /data media would wipe out the internal sd card but considering you've been on xda since 2007 you should have some sort of back up or another ROM zip file on your sd card so you can flash that just so your phone can boot up then transfer the Phantom rom zip file back to your sd card and wipe the internal memory clean and flash this rom from external sd card.Also developers advise placing rom's in external sd card not internal sd card cause full wipe is always the best approach although dirty flashing does work at times if you're lucky.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Banutu:
cannot find those options for fonts :o
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dolceka:
How can I disable ringtone increasing manually ?

Cause it is starting too low then it goes so high... So weird for me and I wish I can disable it without wanam xposed.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] singhpratik87:
Well which fonts have you flashed is it one from the 300 font pack in note 2 themes and apps or the default font pack built in the ROM?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Banutu:
I tried through wanam as well and it doesn't work...

---------- Post added at 06:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:21 PM ----------

I haven't flashed any fonts, its the stock ones, I'm using the Samsung Sans ones, I just flashed the S5 launcher mod H 4x4 D 5x5
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] singhpratik87:
I am sure you didn't have this issue on the default S5 launcher,my advise go get the 300 font pack from here.it has instructions on how to get them to work and choose another font or switch back to the old default S5 launcher cause fonts one cannot do anything when you mess around with the launcher/grid size
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] jimlivingston:
I usually download and flash from the phone. Had to fire up the Mac just to post here. I do have backups of ROMs I used, but only the ones that work well. I flash to many to keep them all. Interesting that during the install it asked it I wanted to wipe a bunch of stuff, which I said yes. You would think if the installer is that advanced, it would wipe exactly what needs to be wiped.

---------- Post added at 02:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:27 PM ----------

and now I cannot mount my external SD. First for that too.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] singhpratik87:
Not really it just gives an user a lot of options usually "clean to wipe to install a new rom" should work but flashing too many roms on your phone leads to many files that don't get wiped properly when switching ROMs.Plus you used an old recovery which is barely used by any 4.4.2 user.I only remember phoenix ROM developer had suggested to use philz touch 5 to flash his version of KK ROM which he uploaded but there after people flashed it via latest philz and twrp without any issues.Also at times recoveries dont play well on one's phone so a recovery that might work right for me would not work right for you.So like i suggested get one of the recoveries back on your phone just for the sake of booting into Android and then you know the rest.Good luck!

How are you trying to mount your sd card?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] jimlivingston:
Trying to Mount through Philz. Not sure of any other way.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] singhpratik87:
You don't have an OS installed on it right?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] mithundperfect:
or you can decrease font size and check
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Banutu:
Appreciated the time you took to reply and help, and gave you a thanks ^^.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] singhpratik87:
You thanked the wrong post HAHAHAHA
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] jimlivingston:
Not anymore. :)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] :
This ROM is fast and smooth. With my theme at the moment a fine solution. Thanks Wesam.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Hnktc:
Surely, but i don't remember of video player in aroma, so if i know the apk name i can take it from zip :D

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] GonDr:
I don't know why Android System is too high and higher than Screen in battery usage !!
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] geekynoob:
On a genuine note..! The android system usage is actually a tad bit high on Kitkat..! Probably will be fixed in newer updates that samsung pushes to the Note 2..!!

And just let the rom settle for a day.. I have noticed if you use data services alot android system usage is pretty high..! Just check this..! Let the rom settle.. Else do a wipe and DO NOT restore apps using titanium :)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] cc154:
Those votes can only be from people who are not using the rom. The rom and your work are both 5 star. ?????
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Vuska:
True.

I'm also vote for 5 stars... because your rom still the best rom I've ever used with my Note 2.

Try others but still come back to your rom.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] SonyEX1:
Thank you wesamothman!!! It seems to be the best KK rom i ever tried!!! Very smooth! Thank you!
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] nemesis.sisemen:
Beg to disagree. Its a great rom but its not faster, smother or with better battery than stock. I have tested both and returned to stock.have best battery and better score in antutu
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] justkiddinghere:
I found a bug in 4.4

I faced in ketans rom n today on phantom

On lockscreen screen freezed

Display wont turn on wether press lock or home
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] kdogguk:
I disagree here, phantom seems a lot smoother and snappier than the pre rooted stock I was on. No fc's either.

Looking forward to the S5 apps. I like the new look settings/launcher/gallery. I have the "secmyfiles2014" already but the new gallery was causing fc's so went back to 2013.

Keep up the great work wesamothman. :thumbup:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] cernoli:
For me , it's the very Best rom of this moment . thank you very much wesam. ??????
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] geekynoob:
I wish you can cook a rom someday :)

And share with us..!!! I actually hope you do..! Ok higher antutu score?? and how does that help you or your device mate???

Can your phone take your dog out for a walk??

Or clean your caar??

or cook food for you??

Nada??

benchmarks are just a BUNCH of numbers..!! They will never depict real life performance..! I am a noob rom cook and i can bet.. Custom roms perform better then stock personal choice though..

Cheers..!

PS- Sorry it is indeed OT

Install no full wipe, everything is ok ! Fix SU FC ! Very smooth ! But i have an issue with Wanam Xposed framework. I Lose my transparancy bar ! Other mods works in Xposed !

Envoyé depuis Gnote2@roro
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] tesla33:
I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with anyone here but... I am going to revert back to a 4.3 ROM.

I have massive battery issues WITHOUT any modifications or installed apps. "Android system" is insanely high on battery. I played around for a bit just to find out what has actually changed and battery dropped from 76% to 62% in less than an hour. Plus after about 2 days of use I have yet to find a single reason to actually stick with KK (apparently nobody else has any good reason why KK is better than JB either)

Mind you, I am not blaming this on the ROM at all. And I understand that different users have different experiences.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
I am glad you enjoy Phantom...

However, I cannot comment on wanam xposed. But KK status bar is already transparent. Isn't it ?!

First, he is a super awesome, more expert dev. Hat's off to him. His module has lots of options that I can't do until now. We all should remember this fact. The module is very nice and he is nice as a person too.

So, for your issue on transparency, it might be one of three things, none I am sure of:

1. not yet compatible on n7100 KK. however i doubt that.

2. another xposed module installed and conflicting with your tweaks of wanam's.

3. you have not correctly installed the xpsoed framework and/or enabled wanam module.

4. you might need to update either wanam module or xposed framework!!

That is all I can think of for now,

Maybe other users who tried this on N7100 KK ROMs, can help you better.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
KK is still new, more updates will come in terms of firmware releases.

However, I advise you to full wipe again and install fresh again. And then let the ROM to settle down for couple of charging cycles. and make sure that advance settings of wifi (always allow scanning) is not enabled.

The ROM needs to settle down then you can judge on the battery, android system usage indicates not yet settled. AND, might be that media scanner is still running in background creating your .thumbnails in DCM...

Anyway, it is your choice too, but I am sure KK battery is almost the same as 4.3 if not better. You can always go back to 4.3 if you feel it is better for you :)

GOOD LUCK...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] rajil.s:
How can I get flash running in Firefox? I installed the player from Adobe website but it didn't work.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] nemesis.sisemen:
I have cooked roms for the samsung galaxy W. And i am intitle to have an opinion. If i say that i have tested both and with stock i have better battery and performance i will stick with my choice. I didnt said this rom its not good, i compare and give my oipnion.if you prefer phantom by all means stick with it. Wesamothman is my favorite developer but not always i have to agree with him.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Banutu:
damn xDD

btw I solved my screen wake lag issue, will be testing how much battery it compromises,
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] singhpratik87:
So you don't have a sd card reader? Cause i think not having an OS might be the reason of philz not mounting it correctly.

---------- Post added at 12:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:16 AM ----------

Good to know that :) Hopefully not too much battery drain.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] jimlivingston:
You've got to be kidding me. Can't mount my SD card in Philz. No more OS. Anybody know how to Odin from a Mac? Seriously.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Hnktc:
In that case, or reflash csc feature from resources zip or reactive it with wanam xposed :)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] singhpratik87:
Mac and Odin are not compatible.You need a windows laptop to even run adb to mount your sd card.

I can't believe you don't have a single back up on your sd card this just sucks.

Too late to buy an external sd card reader where you at?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] jimlivingston:
No ****, I know Odin does not work on a Mac. I have an SD card with plenty of ROMs. I just cannot get it to mount in Philz.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] mithundperfect:
do you have a card reader and a usb OTG cable?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] jimlivingston:
The Macbook has one.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] singhpratik87:
Just a suggestion did you turn off your phone and try to enter into recovery again to see if SD card is mounted ? Try it if you haven't already
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] jimlivingston:
Yup. I will just wait for the wife to get home and use her laptop to Odin the Philz upgrade and stock rooted ROM. Then try again.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] afarkas:
I did, I just wanted to make sure you know about. Thanks
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] singhpratik87:
Alright that would take care of all this trouble. Good luck
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] mithundperfect:
if you've TWRP then you can flash from usb storage (twrp can recognize usb storage)..I don't think it's possible with Philz (don't know about latest version though).. now which recovery are you using? ..1st try [MENTION=2935120]singhpratik87[/MENTION]'s method (Switch off and go to recovery)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] singhpratik87:
The problem is having a Mac book restricts him from even flashing twrp from Odin .now since Philz can't mount his SD card even using a SD card reader with Mac won't help his cause he needs to get hold of windows laptop to flash another recovery via Odin and then that recovery would mount his SD card and he can flash the back up rom just so he could boot the phone as then proceed to flash this rom
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dr.ketan:
Use flashing Tool to flash philz

Edit : I have not yet added support for N7100, so deleted link
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] pankaj_GB:
U could try philz 6.26 version...many times it saved me from such conditions

There is no ROM resources available for Phantom v5 yet.

There is no ROM resources available for Phantom v5 yet. The S5 flavours are all bundled into one ROM file. Cheers. :D
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dolceka:
Hello Guys.. I wish you r all fine.. I am enjoying V5 but I have 2 issues and I can't solve them even after searching for sometime.

1- Action Memo App is force closing with me while saving after installing S5 Keyboard and a launcher MOD from ROM resources H 4-5 and D 5-5 ... It was working fine with me before I flash these ZIP files and I don't know why!!

2- I really can't disable increasing ringtone and I can't find a way to do it as we don't have SecPhone.apk as we r using S5 contacts and dialer... Any ideas?

Both issues are not bugs with the ROM... The ROM is perfect and I can live with these issues... I just wish I can handle them... By the way [MENTION=4579645]wesamothman[/MENTION] the keyboard is more than elegant... I LOVE IT SO MUCH ;)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Banutu:
And scrap not saving in gallery but we can live with that.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dolceka:
Scrapbook is saving normally with me.. Working fine.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Banutu:
to gallery ? how ? provide some screenshots plox
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] dolceka:
What do u mean by "to gallery" ?

I share contents normally from gallery to scrapbook and it is saving normally.. thats what u r talking about or something else?
