I've now managed to successfully restore the nandroid backup, so everything's normal.

But, how do I verify that I have the right/correct/functional ZIP before I go about erasing everything?

Downloading the ROM again... Now that I know my nandroid backup works :):) I'll give this a go again with a freshly downloaded ROM... :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
It's a known issue with the aroma the "can't open bad". If you reboot straight to recovery it usually flashes on the second attempt
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Flashvetrin:
Whew...[emoji1] Good question.

Md5 checksum is about the only way. download it again. Maybe even download an extra copy of another version this way you have a choice it wouldndnt hurt... thank goodness for backups..[emoji16] [emoji106]

It's not just you. The team where discussing the Tapatalk issue last night, i think Flashvetrin is emailing one of the devs about the issue
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dg170775:
Awesome!!! Failed the first time with that error, and as soon as I rebooted back into recovery, Volla :) I'm a happy bunny, it's installing now.

Quick question: in 4.4.2 (or TouchWiz) can't I create folders in home screen consisting a few icons ? Like the one attached. I'm so used to this in the AOSP ROMs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
Yes its in your settings on home screen page.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dg170775:
Oh Ok., found it ... It's a little more slick on 4.4.4 where you just drag one icon on top of another and you have a folder with the two icons.

But, small quirk, I'm enjoying this new ROM and lots of things to explore.

I went to AOSP as soon as I bought my phone, so quite new to TW. So, I'm like a child exploring the new ROM.

Hi! Tried to flash this using twrp 2.7.0.2. First it failed so reboot and reformat a couple of times then it said successful but when i press reboot it says "No OS!". Tried rebooting to recovery and cleaned including the internal sd but it still says "No OS". Checked the md5 and it's the same. Tried it a few more times but still ends up with the "no OS" message.

Will try to update twrp to 2.8 when i get free time.

Do you guys have any other tips? For the meantime I flashed stock kit-kat from my country (philippines) and i'm currently back to stock. Hoping to flash this rom and try it out.

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
If the first flash fails just reboot to recovery and flash again straight away. It usually works on the second attempt

"Get direction" function missing from photo galery manual

Just found that "Get direction" function is missing from the photo galery manual bar, I use this function quite often, I used to capture GPS by taking photo, then use the photo to call up google map for navigation.

Please advise how to get this useful function back?

Many thanks

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dg170775:
Sawdoctor, after using this ROM for a few days, here're a few observations:

1. The only FC I get is SoundAlive, and I get about 2-3 FCs a day for this App. What is this, as it doesn't seem to affect normal operation, audio, etc are absolutely fine? Also it just randomly comes and not when I'm doing anything related to audio...

2. Do you have a build.prop that will make necessary changes to reflect the device as N7105 everywhere, and not i317, etc? I'm assuming that since you're on N7105 & EE you should have a build.prop that's aligned :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
The sound alive will fc in every music app except the stock music player. If you are not using stock music player turn sound alive off.

Select music fx instead of sound alive in settings.

I think [MENTION=1840999]Bajanman[/MENTION] has posted the n7105 buildprop in post 2 as a flashable zip, if not I'll make a zip for you no problem
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] hingerl:
Quick question: when i turn the screen off and touch it again within 10sec. it comes on again, can this be disabled in the settings somewhere ? i can't find it...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
It's in the Agni control app..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] hingerl:
AAAHHH... that's why i couldn't find it...

wont boot past samsung logo dn5

phone is rooted. i have used every recovery. only one that loads aroma is twrp 2.7.0.1 all others keep saying failed. i have the at&t i317 mj4 bootloader i did a complete wipe internal no os installed. even tried a dirty flash. i got it to boot once and once it goes to sleep screen wont come back on. all other roms work. had ezkat before this. please help :crying:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
Everything you've mentioned have been answered here!!

First thing you might try updating your recovery to the latest 2.8.0.0. Your using a really old outdated version..

Check here for the latest twrp you device»

http://goo.gl/nwrmoH

Start over wipe everything 3x here>>

And then you try flashing and get this below>>

Reboot recovery then flash again...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] smargarites:
i did exactly that before. but i did it again just to make sure. wiped 3 times tried to load rom failed rebooted recovery without installing superuser tried to load rom again failed....

edit*** i also redownloaded the rom just incase it was a bad download. i just tried twrp 2..7.2.2 and it runs aroma waiting for it to finish
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
OK cool it's working now yay[emoji106].

Ya sound like u on the right track, especially downloading the Rom again just in case it was a bad download!![emoji106]
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] smargarites:
and now im getting aroma installer status 7 some permissions not fixed

edit****ive attached the log file from aroma
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
Did the aroma install complete or quit halfway through and give the error? I've not seen a status 7 error before on our rom it's normally caused when you are using an outdated recovery not compatible with kitkat. Personally I use the latest philz but twrp 2.7 should be ok . what device do you have

Sorry just been reading back seen your device, if you get the message failed or bad with the rom in recovery rebooting straight back to recovery and flashing again normally works. Read the recovery log unless your twrp is out date and can't handle kk I can't think what would cause those mount errors.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] smargarites:
thank you for your help. so what i did was odin flash 4.3 mj4 rom and got CWM Recovery v6.0.4.3. flashed dn5 that i had orig downloaded first flashed mj4 bootloader just in case. and now everything is working. ive been up for 24 hours cause of this lol. need my phone for business. again thank you for your help. will let you know if anything comes up :highfive:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
Just glad you are up and running. I know the needing your phone for business all to well. I've got myself in some right pickles when I've soft bricked my phone testing things. Don't think people realise sometimes what we go through to test the roms, i've been in trouble work wise a few times because my phone was dead

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dg170775:
After using the ROM for over a week now I have a couple of issues to report:

1. I've started experiencing heavy battery drain the last 4-5 days. I don't know but it seems like the drain is very obvious since I flashed the latest EE modem. Sawdoctor, can the drain be related to a modem flash? When I originally flashed the ROM normal usage resulted in about 30-35% battery left by the end of the day. But now, I am out of juice by midday .. Don't know what's going wrong. Is there way I can find out which app/process is the culprit here? Please don't suggest BetterBatteryStats as I've NEVER managed to get that working for me..

2. Second issue I've started experiencing is lag. Everyday about a couple of times the phone literally hangs / gets so slow, that at times I have to reboot / pull the battery. I have the recommended settings for the AGNI kernel so again, any means of finding out what's going wrong, would be great.

3. Lastly, not a key concern, but can't get the pedometer to work in SHealth. Is our Note 2 miising a sensor, as Pedometer doesn't register any steps at all, even after 30 mins of walking/running.

Edit: Screenshot attached. Battery already in the 40% mark .. and it's just 4 hours after a full charge ...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
The pedometer doesn't work on shealth but I do have Sony walk mate with pedometer working. Can you install bbs to help us solve your battery drain. Also wiping cache and dalvik will help
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dg170775:
Long time back I tried my hand at BbS but never managed to understand it or get it to work...

I'll try again. Where can I get the latest version from? And some handy steps on what I need to do with it would be great.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
You can get BBS from Here

After installing it, open the app give it root permission. Then hit install as system app. Reboot and it should work after that!! My status below»»»

Hi thanks a lot... I have followed those steps but what am I looking for... I've attached my screenshot..

Every section in BBS is a lil different. It's just giving you a very detailed break down of what's happening within the phone. Hope that makes sense for ya.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] absinthesummer:
You can also create a log with bbs and upload it (the log feature is in the settings menu) there are threads here on xda where people more knowledgeable will have you upload the log, they'll interpret it, and tell you what's going on in simpler terms.

So here is what's up with my system.

I came from a stock OS. I rooted the phone and performed what is asked for in this thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2802189

That was done without any issues. I then wanted to jump on to this ROM.

Here are my current phone specs:

TWRP Version: 2.8.0.0

Bootloader Version: MJ4

Baseband Version: NE5

PDA Version: MK5

Build Number: DN3 V3.1.1 LTE

After many attempts and many buggy AROMA encounters, I got it working. I changed the APN to AT&T's and it was all good. A day later and my WiFi is not working. Also, I'm getting the OTA Updater saying that it fails to download the update.

I downloaded the OTA update fix from somewhere and I'll flash it in a few. However, I do not know what to do about the WiFi. I read that Angi kernel will work if I flash it. I tried to (don't even know if I downloaded the right one) but I cant even see it on my apps. Heck, I dont even know how to set it up just as everyone speaks.

My questions are:

How do I fix WiFi?

If it's downloading the Angi Kernel, where do I download it and how do I set it up?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
Sounds like you've downloaded the old rom the jellybean version. You want the latest release here

http://www.mediafire.com/view/al2oup94ynwonau

If you get no wifi then flash the latest agni kernel. If you flashed agni on the previous release then you may have flashed the wrong kernel for it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] alkaroth:
Thanks Saw!

I went into TWRP and did a NANDROID backup on my External SD card

Wiped everything - Including internal storage

Tried to install the latest release you forwarded me to

Got A Failed Message

Rebooted Recovery - wiped everything again

tried again to install - Another Failed

Rebooted Recovery again - wiped everything once again

Did this about 9 times. It's now always failing..... The moment I swipe to install, it immediately comes to the picture below

Any recommendations? I'll keep trying different things like re-downloading it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Flashvetrin:
What version of twrp are you using???

Try philz.. not sure but 2.8 twrp seems a bit problematic.. im using the twrp version just before 2.8 and zero problems with installs..

But like i said philz may be your solution..[emoji16]
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] alkaroth:
Using 2.8.0.0 of TWRP.

I have heard on various cases that TWRP can be a pain. I'll tryPhilz but before that, I gotta ask.

I'll download it from here. Using the Tolteatt because that's the device name. Even though I'm installing a rom as if it were N7105 and then updating the APN to ATT. Please let me know if this is right or wrong.

https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/t0lteatt/

Will my backups in TWRP be usable if I start using Philz? Also, where can I locate which copy of Philz I need to use?

Sorry for the noobness. We all gotta start somewhere.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
The rom can be a bit of a pain to flash sometimes due to the size of the aroma. Keep at it, it will flash. Here's the link to philz, in the advanced settings there is a twrp mode or you can always flash twrp back afterwards
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] alkaroth:
Ok. I already flashed the Philz version 6.41.6

Just in case, where under advanced is the TWRP mode? I cant see it. I dont want to softbrick this thing a third time....

It's technically an n7105 rom not an att rom. What phone do you have as it supports att, t-mobile, n7105 and Verizon? Your signature says t-mobile note 2 so it should work perfectly.

I've had the same issue as you with the latest twrp. I wiped everything in twrp, then right after reboot recovery then flash the Rom. But the second time I don't wipe nada! Not even in the aroma installer, where it ask to wipe data, check NO!

And the OTA isn't going to work because we didn't get a chance to fix the small problem we were having with that...sorry.

Hopefully that helps you minor problem!

Well. Got it working guys. This ROM definitely kicks @ss.

I'm having the same issue as some do here. Drainage of the battery. I downloaded BBS and have taken a look:

On Partial Wakelock I got:

*Sync*/com.android.contact... at 66%

On Alarms I got:

com.google.android.gms at 42%

com.android.providers.calendar at 27%

Network I got:

10024 (MOBILE) at 74% (it also says com.android.vending.google Play Store)

10013 (Mobile) at 14%

CPU State I got:

1.6 GHz at 56%

On Process I got:

Android.process.acore at 85%

*wakelock* at 37%

system_server at 26%

com.sec.android.gallery3d at 18%

I have to do some research to make sense of these numbers. There are all since boot. I assume that a large portion of it has to do with the phone syncing contacts but I'm surprised to see android core processes draining my battery this way.

Any thoughts on the above?

When you flash a new rom your battery needs a couple of cycles to recalibrate so don't worry just yet. I'd personally recommend agni kernel and then install greenify, reciever stop and boot manager to help battery
