5x5 launcher Not positively sure who it came from, I'm thinking from beanstown 106 mods, but I will do research and look back. Also a 5x6 launcher if it will work. I'm trying it now and if it does I will upload it, thanks for all your hard work.

In Root Explorer I unzipped my folder, copied the launcher from folder and then renamed my active seclauncher.apk to.bak and used root explorer to paste the new sec launcher to System/priv-app folder then changed permissions to rwrr then rebooted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nutpn:
Heres 5x6 it works Also.

I actually like it better than 5x5,.... I zipped them but dont know if they will flash. I have always slid mine over with root explorer after extracting the file. Thanks again

titanium backup problems

The new deodexed build installed fine, realized I didn't have root afterward so flashed the SuperSU.zip. Now root is restored, most of my apps work fine w/ Root EXCEPT Titanium Backup Pro.

The first time it launches, it immediately crashes. Next launch - "Sorry, I could not aquire root privileges" when launching.

I verified that I am hitting "Grant". and that the app appears in the launch list. Tried a factory reset, started from scratch, and same issue. Any ideas?

EDIT: Reading backward, it's obvious there's another build in the works..perhaps that will fix these issues. The current links (as of 10:40PM PST 6/17) are NOT the new build.

PHILZ/CWM:

Wipe to install New ROM.

Once flashed reboot

Go through setup

Check root status..If it hangs on "Disabling Knox" you DO NOT have root..

Reboot back into recovery. Flash SuperUser.zip and then Radio.

Done..

if your titanium backup is an older version, update it. Older version may not work on kitkat

not sure where you are seeing an expected new version. this is the ota kitkat pulled
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] crowbarman:
Thanks for rehashing the post and not reading what I actually did. "My apps are working with root except for TiBu"..downloaded from Play Store..both Odex and Deodex releases.

For your reference, here is the new build that we are waiting for (posted 6/16). There are obviously issues with this build - supposedly Deknoxed but not, supposedly has root but does not, etc etc.

---------- Post added at 11:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:15 PM ----------

Tried again with Philz - same exact process but with Philz appeared to get Tibu to work. Root still needed to be applied manually, in fact everything appears to be exactly the same except Tibu doesn't crash then fail to detect root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Masterx9:
Not sure if anyone else ran into this issue but when attempting to set my directory in Titanium it told me that the external,drive wasn't writable. Found these steps in another thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=44370296

Scroll down to post number 357, I was able to add the line of code it mentions using root explorer and now the directory is writable. Hope this helps

Updated to 2.0 and updated binary with normal method with success. This ROM remimds me of tne speed of 4.1.2 with a lot with more features. Looking forward to your team as.well as others to put some killer roms out. Aren there any themed morphs yet for framework contacts, dialer, etc?background of toggles need black with kit Kat colored icons. Stock ROM with gravitybox is solid as is.

Wow! Finally... But it's been a while i flashed... Am on the super stable N3bula rom. Can i use this rom as a daily driver without issues??? All normal functions like wiFi, gps and mobile data working? I'm quite busy with studies at the moment so no time to move back and forth.. Thanks in anticipation.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] macrossmerrell:
You must be busy! So busy that you couldn't even take the time to read the thread apparently (which would answer your questions)... (Hint: there are some current issues that should be resolved in the next build)

You should probably do some homework by reading the thread, decide if you can become less busy, and then make your decision to jump or stay.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] KGBxxx:
Unnecessary
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] macrossmerrell:
I respectfully disagree. People are working hard to develop this ROM and to document everything in the thread so others can do their own research and see what the pitfalls are.

People not researching and asking arbitrary questions leads to poor choices / flashing decisions which often lead to support headaches for the developer of the ROM and owner of the phone.

Sometimes a wakeup call is in order. People shouldn't come to XDA to be spoon fed, but to learn and develop.

That being said, I did mildly edit my post to be less rude / more constructive ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Hindle1225:
I'll answer. This is the Verizon ROM stock with root. Everything should work as intended. Make sure of your recovery and radio. Have the su. zip available if you lose root

UPDATED OP 06/18/2014!! Root now sticks with Philz latest only. TWRP causes write issues and root issues. Also KNOX has been fully removed! We will have the Official Tar up today as well..Flashable of course..Hopefully that will fix charging issue with phone off

We will also post a fuly debloated version..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] athack:
Will it ever be work able with TWRP? Is that project in the works? Personally I never liked using Philz...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] krowley3:
This is not a rom issue. For some reason not everything is being flashed properly using TWRP. That is out of our hands.

Hotspot solved

Added x tether exposed module 1.4 and the native mobile hotspot loaded right up without a subscription check.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] icedventimocha:
The only reason they suggest philz at the moment is because we all maintained root and had no write issues when testing. Since 4.3. there has been a huge difference in how recoveries handle things. TWRP is not looking very solid for us for KitKat. They might get the issue fixed now that they have the tar, but please everyone use philz or don't report bugs.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] brentsten:
I thought I read somewhere that the charging issue with the phone off was related to the recovery, not specifically the rom and was an issue with 4.4+ when upgrading. Or is that why we need to use philz?

Each build gets better. TBU works w/o hacks now and root seems more dependable.

The only problem I have now is wifi. If I reload CM11, wifi works great with new radio, not so much with a wipe and install with Phils. Is there a problem installing the rom with the updated radio already pre-updated?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] PilotML:
I know the basics, I've been doing it for a while. However I don't keep up with the game so I'm no pro. I flashed Beans and haven't touched it since. I'm ok admitting that I'm not good and I ask for help when I need it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] crowbarman:
I have to agree - it's not a huge deal, but I also spend 5 minutes myself looking for the SuperUser.zip link, instead of "THIS". It would be easier if all of the downloads were listed one after another, rather than separated by paragraphs of other information. Might also want to ditch the subtle sarcasm and remove the rant about this STOCK ROM being flashed by lots of people and working perfectly fine ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mistermagic87:
Question for anyone using titanium backup - or preferably rom toolbox pro to remove bloatware apps.

I haven't had to uninstall bloatware for ages I've ran a custom ROM since I got this phone.

Are you uninstalling the unwanted system apps or just freezing them?

I saw the list that was posted and will probably remove all of them.

Thanks for any replies.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] crowbarman:
You should generally freeze them, which would leave open the door to possibly accepting a future OTA (assuming root can be kept with Survival Mode, etc).

Fixing sdcard and other permissions.

After downloading the ND7_deknox_deodex.zip, arn following the install instructions, I finally had success after switching to Philz recovery. :)

Two problems I still had were external sdcard permissions and some internal database access permissions in apps like Quickpic and Evernote.

I resolved the external sdcard permissions issue with the external mount fix from the N7105XXUFND3 Port thread. To fix Quickpic and Evernote database access issues, I used an app called FolderMount from the app store that replaces the sdcard module in /system/bin.

Now everything seems to be working so far. :D

I am not sure why no one else is seeing the database permissions issue I was with third party apps but at least I found a workaround.

Thanks to everyone involved in making this available!

I am not 100% sure ART is included in this. We were talking about this yesterday and I think there was some confusion. ART is possible, but I am not finding the proper lib to enable it included. We will dig into this more as time permits.

Believe it or not, this is my eighth build of the deodexed version. Just making sure it is all good and all the crap was gone. I have flashed this rom more that you can even imagine and it never not booted once. I am seeing between 7-8 minutes with a complete wipe/format of everything. Some others also had issues booting the N7105 port. We tried everything to get them going and in the long run it took them Odining back to 4.1.2, unlocking the phone again, install recovery, install

4.3 firmware only

and then flashing 4.4.2 before it would fully boot. I am not sure what exactly is causing this, but no one on this team has had a single issue booting/using any of our 4.4.2 roms. Hope this helps.

See my comment above.

20 minutes was on the safe side. When I first began working on it, at first boot when setting up Google account, it would freeze, I have since fixed that in my boot that is currently uploaded.

We were lucky to get the system dump. If we would have been able to, we would have got the boot.img and modem. Feel sorry for the people who actually take the OTA because there is not currently any options as far as rooting is concerned. We tried EVERYTHING. We wanted to at least get this out there so that we had a base to build off of. We can start modifying files now and they will be ready once I get the official tar and break it down. We did the best we could with what we had.

Same here. Hope you enjoy.

Glad to see you are up and running.

Disregard the ART comment because after looking at it, I dont believe it is included because necessary files are missing for it to work.

I am not having this issue. I do have the 4.4 issue where you cannot copy/paste to sdcard. I have not attempted to fix that on this rom yet, but will look into it when I have time. I do not use Instagram, but I was using Google Drive last night without any issues. Maybe try a clean install by including formatting internal memory. I use philz, wipe everything at least twice, format system, format data, format cache, format boot, and format data and data/media (/sdcard) before every install.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] vwftw:
I have the same issue with writing to storage. The External_Storage_Fix only fixes this for the external SD card, not the internal storage. If you flash the fix you will be able to write to /storage/extSdCard/ without issue. The internal storage is not working for a different reason, and I have yet to fix it on my device.

---------- Post added at 09:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:06 AM ----------

Okay, I am not having any of the internal storage issues when using the 4.4.2 AGNi kernel for N7105. Here is a link:

I took [MENTION=2517144]krowley3[/MENTION] advice and used Philz instead of TWRP and was able to get it to work normally. However when I flashed philz_touch_6.41.6-i605.zip my phone would just bootloop on the first Samsung Note II screen. I had to odin back to 4.1.2 and go through all the steps to get my recovery working again. I actually went through that process 3 times. I my checksum and everything matched on the Philz recovery, but for some reason my phone did not like it. I switched to the previous version of Philz, philz_touch_6.26.6-i605.zip, and was able to get it to work. I wiped everything twice, installed the new ROM, and so far I'm able to use Solid Explorer which didn't work before, but I just tried to download a file of Google Drive and it failed. I can click on a file in Drive and open it, but if I want to download the file it won't work. I'm going to continue installing apps to see what other things are still acting up for me.

I installed the AGNi kernel that [MENTION=2961380]vwftw[/MENTION] linked too and as he stated it fixed the internal storage issues I was having. Not that Instagram is the most important thing, but I can say it's working the way it should be withe the AGNi kernel.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] *Hooligan*:
Krowley, I will try again. I was not saying there was anything wrong with the ROM at all. It was just what I was getting. I was coming from Beansrom Version 26. I formatted Cache and Dalvik and formatted Data. I typically only use TW roms. I will try wiping system, data and all that like you said. I just didnt really want to Odin everything back. I havent had to re-odin anything since I rooted my Note 2 since I got it (when the note 2 first came out) except for MJ9. I really dont remember all the steps to re-do all that..lol...

Anyways, I will re-do it just to see what happens after system wipe and all. Typically this is what I do and never had a problem.

1. Factory reset

2. Clear cache and dalvik

3. Format Data.

4. Load Rom

5. Clear Cache and dalvik again

6. Boot and enjoy...

Never had an issue following these steps but like I said I usually stick to TW or something based from it. I will let you know though...

Thanks for providing some insight though and thanks to the team for providing the ROM for us ...:)

Pretty Good

With the AGNi kernel things are working much better for me. The only problem I'm seeing so far, especially on apps with little to no permissions, is a "couldn't install on USB storage or SD card" error. It isn't a deal breaker, but it's annoying when you can update an app because of it. I'm currently formatting my SD card and going to start over. We'll see if that helps at all.

UPDATE: formatting the SD Card and then transferring the data back didn't fix my "couldn't install on USB storage or SD card" error.
