I'm still using the stock kernel and am getting decent battery life. 4.5-5 hours screen on time ( mixed indoor / outdoor auto brightness ) is a big plus in my books. Never go by someone's standby time. The screen on time is the Guage to use. Anyone can leave a phone with WiFi / bluetooth / cell signal off in a drawer and get 48 hours lol. So far this rom is giving me slightly better battery than Jedi ( albeit with slightly more lag due to a stock kernel ) but It's bearable so I'm leaving well enough alone. I tried agni for a bit but kept getting random screen freezes ( I always clean install to include data and storage ). Veteran flasher here. Love the rom. Excellent work m8. Can't wait to try 2.5 ^_^
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 2545:
Thank you! I can't agree more. So many useless posts about battery time that doesn't include screen time; only causes unnecessary false expectations.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mindmajick:
I like screen shots. Evidence is cool! I think screen on time and voice call time are both good measures of battery life.

Lol there's no such thing as 11hrs on my phone. Im the type that carries a spare battery around to be safe. My screen is on nearly the entire time my phone is on me.

Modem?

Just out of curiosity, is there a specific modem I should flash for this ROM? If so, where can I find it at? The reason I'm asking is because occasionally the signal drops completely, and I've already installed this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mcstealthapps.freshnetwork from the play store
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ojai00:
You should only flash modems made for your device. It can possibly help with signal drops. Modem thread courtesy of [MENTION=1840999]Bajanman[/MENTION]

Use a root explorer and navigate to /system. Inside of the system folder is build.prop. Copy it to your storage and open it using a text editor. Modify whatever it is you want / need to change. Paste it back to your system folder and set permissions to rw/r/r ( this step is a must or you will bootloop ).

I use es file explorer. It works well and has a ton of features.

I also recommend making a backup of your original build.prop in case you make a change that the system doesn't like. That way you can use twrp / cwm to copy the backup back to /system. The easiest way is to rename the original build.prop to build.prop.bak before pasting the modified one.

Motions & Gestures

First, this ROM is just what I've been looking for! Thanks eZ...great work!

So, I have the TMo Note 2 and successfully installed everything. The only feature I'm having trouble with are the Motions & Gestures. I know it's a small thing in comparison to everything else that works, but being able to swipe-to-capture is something I used often with JB TouchWiz.

Any help is welcome!

FYI...I'm a noob and I think this is my first post on XDA. :o
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] pyraxiate:
I just downloaded the latest and can confirm there is no f2fs partition type available in 2.7.1.0. Can you link where you saw that it does? I downloaded from the toltemo tree.

Edit:

The tolteatt tree does indeed have f2fs support. Backing up now and will report back once im on f2fs :D :D :D Im near positive the partitions are all the same between the international, the att, and the tmobile note 2 ( Hence why we can interchange roms.... ) . Ive already flashed the recovery... no turning back now LOL

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rob_z11:
You could download devil's latest recovery which has the f2fs support. I have done that when I ran aosp 4.4.2, and it was bit of challenge if you want to do the entire internal card with f2fs.

What I did was only did data and system, and what you do is that backup your data and system using devil's recovery, and then format those partiion using f2fs, and then do restore individual partition.

I think there is 2.7.0.2 somewhere on samsung 7100 or 7105 forum which has I believe support for f2fs for our ATT phone. I am running 2.7.0.2, but not sure if it has f2fs support. I used Devil's recovery whenever I wanted to do f2fs. I am no longer running f2fs because i enjoy twrp compare to devil's recovery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] pyraxiate:
I'll head there. I'm always up for testing. Ran f2fs under 4.2 and 4.3. Can't seem to get 4.4 tw to run f2fs though lol. I'm no stranger to formatting/ repartitioning. I think my Knox boot loader shows 10-15 ish custom counts from all the reflashing I've been doing trying to get f2fs playing nicely. Also my tf300 runs on f2fs as well ;)

As far as the att twrp....something isn't playing nicely with my t0ltetmo. Odin back to stock I go again lol.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ojai00:
I've just flashed modems on top of existing ROMs and have not had any issues in the past. Safe to say that you should always back up anyway in case you come across unforeseen issues. You can always flash an older modem if you don't like the new one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rob_z11:
YOu can always do NAND backup before flashing modem or kernel, and if things don't work out the way you want it, boot into recovery, and restore either boot partition for kernel or modem for flashing old modem back.

I think NAND backup is must for any android flash fan..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] RaleighB:
Awesome rom. Kit Kat is sweet.

I'm having the same signal dropping issue. Wiped everything, re-downloaded the rom, reflashed the modem, wiped everything and repeated. On flash 4 now, tried the network signal boost too, no luck. Still dropping signal and hardly ever show 4g.

On ATT

Build eZKAT v2

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rob_z11:
No issue here, but have you tried to install kernel such as Agni and see if that changes anything for you?

Also you can try to flash omni ROM which is pretty good aosp ROM for 4.4.2 and 4.4.3 nightly are available with gapps. You should run that to see if problem is consistent across ROM?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] eZdubzitmk4:
idk man I haven't had any issues with lag
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] evisser4:
I had lag issues, but traced it back to an external sdcard problem. Try using your phone for a day or two with no external sdcard and see if the lag disappears.

Also, do you have a lot of files on either internal or external sd? I had read that too many .pdf's can cause lag on 4.4 so I put all my pdfs in Google drive and no longer store them on my device.

Also using the built in my files app a lot caused the thing to be constantly indexing which caused lag. I no longer use my files app.

Lastly I ended up having to backup my data and format the external sdcard in the phone and slowly add back files I needed a little at a time to solve my lag issues.

None of the lag I experienced was because of this ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dantheman1977:

May want to check the read ahead settings for external card if using Agni kernel...

And yes...I agree with trying the device for a bit without the SD card...

I'm unsure of the file caching to SD....but if the KK framework is scanning or caching to the card every (insert time here)seconds...then it makes sense that the card could be giving you trouble...

Wish I knew more about the read/write states of SD...

And the timing or duration of files being scanned or being looked at by the OS...

Another possible solution would be looking into the app cache settings...and storage of app data being sent to SD...

Don't know brother...just brain storming a bit...g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] evisser4:
Well, I was suggesting the fact that your lag could be related to 4 things. So it would be worth considering more than just the .pdfs tip.

1. Large number of files/folders on external sdcard. (ex. a bunch of titanium backups, music, photos, videos etc)

2. Your external sd card may need to be formated again (backup your data first!)

3. Pdf's MAY be causing lag.

4. My Files app indexing could be causing lag. (if you use it alot.)

I personally think something is different about the media scanner or indexing service or something regarding reading of external sd cards that has changed in Touchwiz 4.4 kitkat that it got way fussier. I did not have the issue with 4.3. I even flashed back when my phone was still acting up to 4.3 and sure enough everything was fine....flash back 4.4 and bam, issues. Until I found my problem. Lag sucks.
