[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pchoi79:
i am trying to go from 4.1.2 .. i have it set up to stock and will be installing casual to make it unlocked and rooted. OP states I need to go to 4.3 firmware and sent me to a link. The link shows I need to install a rom and then a firmware both of which the files are non existence. Is there anything I can do to try and get from 4.1.2 to 4.4.2? Thanks a lot
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adobrakic:
Be careful and get a good answer/information before you proceed. You're so lucky to be at 4.1.2 and not have your bootloader locked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pchoi79:
Just wondering..i'm trying to sell this on ebay and i see it states that it is unlocked.. was wondering.. what does it mean to be unlocked? I'm assuming it's not an unlocked bootloader.. does it mean i need to change the APN. thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adobrakic:
Unlocked, on eBay, typically means that it can be used on different phone carriers. However, I'm not entirely sure, I'd have to check out the eBay description.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
Even at 4.1.2 you have a locked bootloader, what he meant was you can unlock, if you look at my profile under contact is a homepage url to my androidfilehost I have all the files needed to prepare to flash this stock 4.4.2 rom from this thread, the rom should still be available from the op, you should not have to flash the 4.3 rom as the 4.3 radio is a firmware flash, ND7 radio is flashed in custom recovery after the 4.4.2 rom.

You do not need to do anything to the apn, unlocked means a lot of things.

Hope this information helps.

Has anyone been able to get Android Pay working? I'm using the deodexed version of this rom with Agni 4.4.5 kernel and xposed framework. I also have Wanam setting the device status to "official". I tried unrooting, but I get a message about the phone or software not being verifiable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gathithow:
Amazing ROM!! You saved my device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jaws4God:
I was on the search for a stock style ROM that I could use Xposed Framework to get some custom features but still keep the S-Pen features and LOUD speaker.. This was so far is perfect!

Thank you!

getting unlock bootloader

i know I'm late to the party but is there a way to unlock the bootloader after being updated to 4.4.2? i have tried to roll back to 4.1.2 with no luck on it so i cant try any of the methods that i have found to work with that verison

Well I was hoping to upload the OTA with Air Command but somewhere along the way I lost sending and receiving mms. It works with hangouts tho. I'm hoping to get it fixed tonight.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DrunkUncas:
Is there an easy way to replace the notification panel quick settings tabs?

It's been so long since I've run a stock ROM I'd forgotten how limited they were.

I'd settle for a delete and I'll just run Power Toggles.

ETA: That particular aspect of Gravity Box doesn't seem to work for me, on this, or any other ROM.

Having a couple of forced closings since my last posting.

Lost all connection during a long phone call.

The phone would also lock up while setting idle.

Also I had a couple of SIM not found errors.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] GiGaLeOnZa:
Have you tried Wanam Exposed? It will let you mod pretty much every aspect of TouchWiz. There's an extensive toggles section that lets you add a ton of features to your toggles.

No similar errors here, factory reset and start fresh? That's very strange. From as far as I can tell everything is nearly mint on my end. I expected to wake to my alarm this morning to find my phone was stuck in a sleep state and required a battery pull. No biggy though as I have an actual alarm clock and I've been messing with ROMs for far too long to expect my phone to work 100% all the time heh.

Some apps I normally would be able to download are showing that my device is incompatible, IE the "Galaxy Essentials Photo Editor" which is the default photo editor for our phones, is there a missing apk or framework component that would cause this?

In the meantime I'm using Cymera photo app to edit pictures, I just miss being able to open a picture from anywhere (hangout message, email, browser etc.) and click edit and have Samsung's photo editor allow me to edit right there, as opposed to saving it then editing it

No biggy, I was curious if any1 know why our device is "incompatible" with certain apps that are meant for our phones and I normally would be able to download. Error code I'm getting is -24 when trying to install the Photo Editor from both the 'Samsung Apps' app and the Play store.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jcbauerca:
What you described was exactly what happen to me where it would go into deep sleep and only a battery pull would wake it. I did not get any other errors as you said because I don't have those apps on my phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] GiGaLeOnZa:
I'm more likely to blame the agni kernel for this than the ROM, unless everyone who is running this is having this issue. I'm going to look into the deep sleep freeze a bit more and see if I can find anything that'll help.

I charge my phone every night on my nightstand, but one thing I'm going to start doing is rebooting my phone before I go to sleep. Hop in bed, reboot, plug in phone for charge and that's it. This is a good practice anyways, hell I have my PC and router on 24/7 and have them both set to auto reboot. Windows never craps out on me and my wifi is mint, perhaps this methodology will work for our phones :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jcbauerca:
I agree but that is a PITA since my 4.3 rom didn't have any issue. The deep sleep was happening during the day while I while I was in my car waiting for a call.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DrunkUncas:
Had the same thing happen to me.

Put it on the charger last night with ~14% battery. Woke up and it was dead. Swapped for a charged battery, and still nothing. Scared the crap out of me. An extended battery pull got things going again.

It went to sleep while I was at the gym today. Blue notification light was blinking, but it wouldn't power up. A simple battery pull got things rolling again.

Clean flash. Stock kernel. Buttload of Xposed modules running.

try using the agni 4.0.0 kernel. I had experienced similar problems with the 4.2.1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobysnack:
I know some of you wanted Air Command. I ported it over and seems to be working well. I would suggest using Android 4.4.2 AGNi pureSTOCK v4.2.1_R3 to fix the extsd card issue it's also needed to make Action Memo save properly. I'm calling this ROM "sKKy n3b". I have not had any issues so if you find anything please let me know. More mods will be coming as as time permits.

SD Fix from the play store fixes it as well. Don't really need an entire kernel to fix that. Just install SDFix from the play store, run it, and uninstall it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shellie03:
Scooby not sure if I'm overlooking it or doing something wrong but I've installed the rom twice and I dont see how to activate air command? Action memo works but when I draw a circle around anything it says a clip error. Any help would be appreciated. :fingers-crossed:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobysnack:
Sorry under setting switch to "list view" then go to "sPen" air command is listed there.

Is anyone having GPS problems with this ROM? I can't get GPS working at all on the international build. Just want to see before I flash this one if GPS is a go.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] firewater88:
I too was having GPS issues with the international ported builds. This one works great for me. GPS is great and it seems to be rock solid so far.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikelikesbikes:
Action memo works but when I draw a circle around anything it says a clip error.

Are you talking about smart clip? When you circle something with the spen button pressed does it force close or "cut" the image out?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shellie03:
Yes smart clip is what I meant. Scooby pointed out the air command is in the 'list view' I was in the 'tabbed view'. Got air command working now but smart clip doesn't.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Use air cmd instead.. has pretty much the same feature with ScrapBooker

I have found my first issue. Bluetooth works great sans one little nagging problem. When the screen is off Voice Dialer comes up when I press the multifunction button. If its on and unlocked, Google Voice Search comes up. Voice Dialer is a POS. It doesn't recognize anything. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make it so Voice Search opens no matter the state of the screen?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thatg:
is anyone having issues with the screen not powering on and having to reboot the device? happening several times a day for me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] brentsten:
Yup. Several battery pulls per day. The only common thing I can think of is that it's on Wifi every time it happens, but I'm not sure if it's related.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BigggJack:
had a few battery pulls yesterday for becoming non-responsive and at least 2 self reboots I saw. I wasn't on WIFI for any those events I was also using different apps, didn't notice a common trigger.

I switched up the AGNi kernel this morning, hopefully that might help. It did help with me being able to pull a file from my Drive account
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] brentsten:
I tried the N7105 AGNi kernel and the newest I605 for 4.4.2 kernel, the freezing still remains. I noticed self reboots on the N7105 kernel, but it's either fixed or I haven't caught it yet on the i605 kernel.

So is there a fix for charging your phone before it goes completely off? Like I said before the only workaround I found for thayvwas to charge your phone while in recovery if battery died. Also I love what you did to the rom but is there a fix for the battery drainage

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] guitarist5122:
Thx for rooting and deodexing the leak. I like the new TW features(you can tell Apple will have more to sue about soon) and everything seems really smooth and has excellent battery life. Of course, there are quirks to be expected when flashing a leaked stock update that hasn't received QA's stamp of approval. My personal experience had been random force closes of radom apps at random times, settings force closes under more network options, and random reboots with freezes. These quirks are spaced far enough apart that they are tollerable for now.

Thx for the ROM guys! Look forward to your Note 3 features in this when a stable version comes from Sammy.

Is there a permission issue with /storage/emulated/0/Android? Several apps are reporting issues writing to that path.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] drewcam888:
I have the same issue. No one has offered me any suggestions. I went back to 4.1.2 because of the issue. I couldn't download anything from a browser like Firefox which is so frustrating.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] michigan66:
It's a 4.2.2 issue. Try the storage fix in the OP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mi7chy:
Have to revert back to 4.1.3 because apps like Lecture Notes, Sketchbook Pro, etc. are still unable to write to /storage/emulated/0/Android. Tried different recoveries including latest CWM and TWRP 2.6.x and 2.7x, wiping all partitions including internal and external, flashing external sd fix and installing sd fixes from Play Store. May consider trying the ODEX version since it's closer to stock but it looks like it was removed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] naviathan:
I have not had any issues with Sketchbook pro. It saves just fine. Did you do a full wipe before installing? I cleared everything before I installed this ROM and I have not had a single issues beyond the old Voice Dialer popping up when the screen is off, instead of Google Voice Search.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
I have not ran this in some days now.. but I have heard that agni kernel PureStock for the I605 helps some of these issues..

Also try to see if that app that says it can't write to internal storage shows a path..for ex:

Cant write to storage/emulated/0/Download

If it shows you the folder just go into a root explorer and add that folder to the directory.. therefore it can write to it:good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] drewcam888:
The folder exists already. Firefox, my backup pro, and freecaddie are a short list of apps with issues. This shouldn't be a sd card fix issue since that relates to the external sd card. I don't understand your path check suggestion.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] puritan007:
If you know the path and the folder is already there are its permissions writable? Can you change them to writable?

---------- Post added at 11:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:42 PM ----------

Can you also verify that there is free space on that partition? when I first went to 4.3 it tried to cache all my pictures from sd card in the phone memory, filling it completely. I had to wipe then reflash and pull sd card out for first boot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] drewcam888:
Yes the parition had like 7gb free
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] GiGaLeOnZa:
so far so good

I like the previous post about flashing the ROM then flashing stock kernel over it. Perhaps the way the ROM is deployed in recovery messes up the kernel installment somehow who knows.

as for me... I have the 4.1.2 bootloader whatever it's called cram crawl whatever. Last unlocked bootloader before 4.3. I have this ROM installed with newest agni pure stock kernel installed and mj9 modem.

My only major issue was the deep sleep freeze I experienced. Following a guide for another phone running agni kernel, I deleted the init.d scripts and now my phone is rock solid. Not a single hiccup or freeze and everything is mint, couldn't be happier.

I still can't install photo editor but I've found a better alternative cymera. Cool photo app. When I try to get the app it says incompatible phone, perhaps the kernel is emulating a different device and play market gets angry, who knows. L

if any1 is having deep sleep freeze issues with this ROM and agni kernel wipe your init.d script using ghetto agni control panel app. Havent restarted my phone in days and it's faster than any CM11 ROM on its best day.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] iflip:
Had anyone tried this with devil kernel? If so how is it working out with this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jcbauerca:
Thanks, can you direct me to the download of the app you mentioned? "ghetto agni control panel"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] GiGaLeOnZa:
Hahahaha my mistake it's not called ghetto agni control that was a very bad typo from my phone. As was cram crawl bootloader, I meant "vram" and "vr4all" or whatever the old boot loaders where codenamed.

install the agni kernel in recovery. It comes with a control app called "agni control" and from there you can delete any init.d scripts. That's what did it for me.

any1 having multiscreen issues? I can drag and drop from the sidebar but it won't split.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jcbauerca:
haha thanks. I was wondering what ghetto agni control was :laugh:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] iflip:
Any pros and cons aside from "what doesn't works"? How's battery life on the mj9 modem compared to 4.3?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] GiGaLeOnZa:
Correct me if I'm wrong but the mj9 modem IS from 4.3. The newest modem hasn't leaked yet because the user who got the update so early hasn't been rooted yet and therefore we only have the ROM. No official kitkat radio I believe.

---------- Post added at 11:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 PM ----------

Also just want to point out that my battery life and overall performance is stellar. I am absolutely enjoying this ROM immensely... fast, stable and great battery life. It's even better than any CM11 kitkat ROM I've used. This leak rocks!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] momule:
I can second that. I get all day battery and that's wifi tethering another android for a pandora player at work. So far no bugs from me at all.

Suggestion for anyone having internal storage issues. (not external)

I had issues with sd card storage with a few different apps when I flashed this rom with TWRP 2.7.0.1 -

So restored back to my previous backup (liquid smooth 2.37) and then flashed latest CWM touch.

Then restarted to CWM and factory reset then chose mounts and storage and chose mount storage/sdcard1,

Once it finished I used format /data and /data/media (/sdcard) option.

Then I installed the rooted rom. Everything seems to be working now - I'll report back with any issues if they come up.

I hope this helps anyone who has this issue and if it has already been posted please ignore this post.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] naviathan:
I had an issue with the internal storage using TWRP. I emailed TeamWin and got this back:

The repair didn't work, but formatting data did. Heads up, remove your SD card before formatting data. According to the developer I talked to the external sd card is mounted under data and may get formatted with it.

I'm guessing that there is no way to create an Odin-flashable version of this? Similar to Beans's NC2 KK leak for the Note 3?

My wife's phone got too many OTAs before I was able to get my hands on it, and now she's got a locked bootloader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
If she is on a locked bootloader than no...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DrPhant0m:
No way... or not yet?

The BL on my Note 3 has been locked forever... and when the NC2 kit-kat update got leaked, BeansTown was able to work his mojo and develop an Odin-flashable firmware and safestrap-flashable ROM combo that got me updated to KK while maintaining root. In spite of the fact that the bootloader remained locked the entire time.

See here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2726558

The NC2 release was "special" though, in that it wasn't a public release. It was a sort of internal test release, which had many software hooks left exposed (paraphrased from my non-dev perspective). Perhaps that's what made it possible.

Thanks for the response. I'll keep my eye on this issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Well the N2 is pretty old and I know the only development for 4.3 was SS...

Mojo.. Is that what he calls it.. LOL sorry couldnt resist... Turning a tar image to a flashable zip does not take a genius or even a dev if thats what you want to call him.. Sorry I will take shots all day at that scum..

Moving on..I think 4.4.2 for the N2 will be just as locked down..:silly:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DrPhant0m:
I'm picking up a little hostility. lol Do you have something against him? Care to air it in public?

I don't think it was the creation of an Odin-flashable tar that garnered so much respect... I'm pretty sure it was more the total package that worked together to maintain root through an update to 4.4.2. Maybe that special NC2 leak made it easy, but it must have been something impressive, since he had Hashcode, the safestrap dev, singing his praise, as well. I don't know. I'm not a dev. I'm just glad that it's made possible for me.

In any case... if it's so simple, then I'm looking forward toward a similar solution in this thread. ;)
