So this is just basically a debloated sky note vanilla?

Not trying to be negative but I don't really think it's a rom ya know? You just added some updated apps and removed some.

Regardless tho. Thanks for the effort.

P.s you should also have a Thanks section. And thank Sean
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] borijess:
Nice Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mikekelso421:
i removed alot more than a few apps. like i stated above trimmed over 350mb.Its pretty much a barebones skynote rom. you should probably read the OP again. lol i also gave him credit in the op as well. twice. (even said his rom is the best ive used for this phone. Much respect)

anyways this rom is intended for people that like to have a very light-weight stock rom with great battery life. i dont like having to spend 15 minutes everytime i flash a ROM deleting all sorts of crap i dont need. and this rom fixes that problem. if only one person uses it other than me, thats one person i helped out. and its also easy access for me when i need to find this file again. :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] eZdubzitmk4:
Lol read it again? It didn't say thanks Anywhere bud nice try.

Thanks to Sean...and to the OP....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] eZdubzitmk4:

Anyway, best of luck with the rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mikekelso421:
BTW I like your meanbean ROM. Good work on that one. :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mikekelso421:
The reason I edited it was because using the Tapatalk app I accidently deleted the whole op when I went to copy the text to paste into the comment. Luckily whenever I make a post on the laptop I Ctrl+c the whole thing as a checkpoint. Swear on my kid no bs. The thanks was there from the beginning.

Thanks though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] eZdubzitmk4:
I'm not here to argue.

As long as you got permission from Sean to use his rom base then it's OK man.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sojib_6:
Nice work, keep it up and hopefully we can see a rom from the Kitkat version of the galaxy note 2 rom. :)

I've already got the leaked India ota for their note 2. Made a flashable zip for the ROM But it won't boot. It just sits on the boot animation forever. I think its because we need an updated bootloader for it to install. Soon though. We should have our KK update this month or next month says sammobile.

Speaker Phone not working for me

great rom but when im on a phone call and click on the speaker icon to use the speaker phone I cant hear the person on the other end and they cant here me...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rizonate:
Same here, flashed as instructed, otherwise, rom is a winner.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mikekelso421:
I noticed this same bug last night. Ill figure out what file I removed and put it back in there and we'll be good to go. Thanks guys
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rizonate:
No worries, still rock solid. Fyi, latest agni kernel fixed it for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] borijess:
Do u have stock kernel for this rom. Just in case I want to try different kernel.

Sent from the TermiNOTEr 2! ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] eZdubzitmk4:
Just dirty flash Rom to get stock kernel back
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattern1974:
Actually, with all due respect to your very very very large contribution to our XDA knowledge, the stock MK6 kernel was posted a long time ago by Zen at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=48935684.

I see that Sean may have modified the stock kernel. The kernel could also be extracted manually from the Rom and flashed by Mobile ODIN.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] eZdubzitmk4:
Lol..I know it's been posted.

no need to download another zip tho if he already has the rom downloaded and can easily flash that in a second.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] borijess:
Does the new update fix the speaker issue on phone call.

Sent from the TermiNOTEr 2! ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mikekelso421:
No. The flashable update adds the a flashlight snd mobile data toggle in the quick settings. Also adds a litgle bit of themeing to your dialer and contact and settings. Speakerphone fix will be coming. Gotta figure out what I removed that caused this issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mikekelso421:
Update coming today. Fixed the speakerphone bug. Fixed a little bit of the theming. Also gonna have better way of flashing it all. Now all modded apk's are included in the ROM. Only need to flash a script to enable the toggles. couldnt figure out how to get them to appear on first boot, updated links will be up within the hour.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] nelly_85:
Have the links been updated now?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mikekelso421:
Everything is updated. new flashing instructions as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] nelly_85:
Cool thanks. Sucks the toggles don't look the way they do in your second post.

Nevermind. I solved the problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] shadow_cruiser:
Thank you very much!. Been using it for a day and it's amazingly stable and barebones, love it!. Great rom and will be used as my DD
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] edfuhr1:
Thank you also, very fast and stable with everything working. One question, I flashed the toggle add on and have mobile data turned off while at home on wifi, when I go into phone status it says im on LTE still, I thought it would turn it to edge network(although edge still has mobile data but slower, it saves your battery)? So how does turning mobile data off effect my battery if still on LTE but I guess just voice turned on?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mikekelso421:
If your mobile data is toggled off, it shouldn't be running ANYTHING. that goes for 3g, 4g, hspa+ etc. Toggling off the data shuts the antenna off so it can't receive a data signal. There for if your WiFi is on and mobile data is off then your ONLY connected to WiFi. If BOTH are on, WiFi takes priority over mobile data and mobile data should ONLY ever be used during sending or receiving MMS messages since it won't work over WiFi and requires a mobile data connection.

Also under device status it just shows you the type of data you use. I don't believe its saying that its still running.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] edfuhr1:
Ok so then I guess im confused, if I have mobile data off I can still receive calls and regular texts because voice data would still be on correct? It would also save battery to keep it off if I have a solid Wifi connection? Thanks for your time answering these questions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] frankieGom:
No offense meant and it may just be due to imprecise wording, but this is plain wrong.

Toggling data off forces a disconnect _from the data network_ but the phones remains attached to what ever cellular network it uses for voice and SMS so you can still make and receive voice calls and SMS. Anything data, on the other hand, will have to go through WiFi if available.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Namorbrowneyes:
Ohhhhh my god this runs amazing I dont know why I waited to flash. Thank you Dev!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mikekelso421:
wrong wording.lol i made it sound like it was in airplane mode.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] shadow_cruiser:
Anyone else having trouble with GPS?. Never ran into this problem before so not sure how to fix it. I flashed again as per OP's instructions but still not getting a GPS lock. I understand the first time takes a long time but I was outside for 3 hours trying to get a lock. Any help would be appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mikekelso421:
Download a GPS fix app on the market and try a couple to see if it'll find a lock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ikylilboy:
Link not working... MediaFire must be having issues because the link for your 4.4 SlimFast is having the same problem. Hopefully it will be resolved soon! Thanks for the ROM in advance!

Edit: Never mind, worked fine through my phones browser. Must be an issue I'm having with the desktop !

Isn't it possible to downgrade from the 4.4.2 Official to MK2 4.3 and then root, and re-upgrade with root?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
if you took the OTA, no
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Techguy2002:
Thats not exactly true as someone who has done it. It can be done by following surges downgrade to mk2 method. I have done this multiple times.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
So how's that work for you guys then? You can downgrade but the bootloaders still NC5? And you can still install SafeStrap? I've read multiple things about this and just want to know.

I know Surge's method ( I thought ) involved using SafeStrap from MK2 which makes sense. But those who simply took the OTA can actually go back down and still use SafeStrap?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Techguy2002:
The bootloader will stay at nc5. It's a partial downgrade. But you get in to download mode and use odin. I haven't had any issues. Then you can use safe root and then install safe strap and then install the nc5 rooted file and your good. I did this last night again it was fairly easy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ryjwalsh:
Would you mind doing a quick write-up on how to from an 4.4.2 OTA? Everyone's information is confusing and complicated.

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] studiorat:
GOOD LUCK getting anything from the devs here!!! The following statement is not for you!!!. it is toward the Elitist Devs who insist on Posting SEARCH!!!

They had a bounty up last year to unlock the Bootloader and had a substantial reward for doing so, and they just ignored it, I personally pledged and they willingly took my pledge as it was pushing the bounty up into the mid thousands of dollars, It seems as though they don't want to help any Verizon variant, with Roms or even trouble shooting questions, they just flame people for not searching and treat us like we are idiots, Totally Elitist attitudes because they think they are better than us, When they were us once......Some of us idiots do not have time to read through 2000 pages .... We have lives and Jobs and tons of responsibility, to greedy corporate Elitist Record Companies!!!!! So if ya wanna flame me Be my guest...But be fair warned I fight back....

Thanks in advance.[/QUOTE]

Lol so much wrong in this post I can't even cover everything replying on my phone. Let me just respond to your observation of what happened with the bounty.

First off, the devs don't do this for a living and have real lives & jobs just like you & I. There were and are tons of people who are trying to figure out how to find an exploit in the bootloader. Trust me, it's one of the biggest bounties we've had on XDA a lot of devs would want all that money. The fact is that it's simply really freakin' hard to figure out and the methods of how to find exploits take tons of time. You have to understand while we have a few thousand dollars in the bounty it really isn't much compared to how much money we're up against. Verizon, pressured by millions of enterprise customers who want secure phones, made Samsung/Qualcomm spend a lot of money locking the bootloader up tight. It's very difficult to crack.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Techguy2002:
I did it using the old method of surges with the two files instead of the three. I cant upload it here evidently. I am not a developer by no means just have time being unemployed to mess with stuff.

Its pretty simple download the file and extract it and then open odin.

I used 3.09 and put the pit file in the pit slot and then put the downgrade into the ap slot.

The process will fail at cache thats normal.

Reboot the phone back into download mode and then I close odin and reopen it and then in the ap slot put the downgrade system file and it should complete.

When the phone restarts immediately press the up arrow to get into recovery. Then do a factory reset/ Wipe Data and also wipe the cache.

Once this is complete reboot the phone and it should boot and you will be back on the 4.3 partial. I then use saferoot to root and then install safestrap 3.72 and then boot into safestrap and install the rooted nc5 v2 file and then go back into download mode you need to go back into odin and flash and nc5 ap file and cp file and then reboot back into download mode and flash the csc file and reboot and your good to go. I will reply with a link to the files after I upload them.

I will post the file after I get it uploaded.

Surge1223's posts

I have searched for Surge1223's canonical posts on both reverting an SCH-I545 S4 NC5 back to MK2 and then rooting MK2 and the hack to move to NC5 without losing root.

I was rooted on MK2, but got caught by an OTA upgrade to NC5 KitKat 4.4.2. Ergo - no root.

Can anybody point me to these posts?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MmmMonster:
Follow Surge's downgrade to MK2 from NC2 (it works with NC5 i did this last night [after taking the OTA update]) and follow the upgrade to NC5 in the same post. but when you downgrade dont let the phone boot up at all, you'll have to flash 3 files, just flash, pull the battery out when it tries to reboot, flash the next file, repeat for the third file.

here's his thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2726868

the downgrade method is right below the upgrade method.

Thanks,..

Thanks, MiniMonster. I've been involved with XDA-Developers for years (under changing 'noms-de-web') and, lately, I've found it highly unwieldy to find critical information among all of the null-content posts and changing threads. The signal-to-noise ratio is getting pretty close to making the site more trouble than its worth.

Google Nexus 10 - rooted - TWRP/ CyanogenMod

Google Nexus 7 - also caught in the OTA, but re-rooted - CWM/Paranoid Android

Samsung Galaxy 4 - about to be re-rooted and moved onto KitKat NC5 with SafeStrap, TWRP, CyanogenMod

Samsung Galaxy 3 - rooted, but stock with the Nova Prime launcher (also has GO Launcher EX and Apex PRO disabled).

This is a whole different beast these S4's with the new security and Knox. Sammy has spent God knows how much money making these things secure for enterprise customers that finally were starting to see phones that possibly can't be cracked. Not on Verizon or ATT at least. People who want unlocked Sammy phones are going to have to go to TMobile or elsewhere where bootloaders are not locked.

Not to mention everyone on here who does help to crack these things does it all in their spare time for free. Tough gig

Your logic is full of rampant stupidity. If you don't know how to use the search function then you shouldn't be trying to mess with your phone. The reason why we say search is because we know that the answer to your basic question is answered in literally one of the top fifteen threads in the general section. The title literally says how to root. There are beginner threads that tell you the basic information you need to understand how to use the basic functions required to perform tasks such as root. You people expect to save thirty minutes of your time to not learn about something you should know if you want to root your phone while wasting other people's time and ignoring hours that someone else took figuring out and writing up the exact solution to your problem. Stop being so self entitled and ignorant.
