[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] SurferoCanario:
notes after using DN3 on my N7105 for a few weeks

Exactly Bajanman, I know my knowledge on messing with android flashing etc still lacks and I intend to dig up on it.

Right now just a few remarks after installing DN3 on N7105 (plus messing with it for a couple of weeks now):

1. my device is now being identified not us GT-N7105 but SGH-i317 - in the "about device section" and also by "samsung kies" and by "skipsoft toolkit" when I plug the phone to the computer.

(interestingly in the "about device" on the phone the "model number" states: SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 but at the same time "Baseband version" says: N7105XXDMA1 )

2. the ROM does not work that smoooooth as advertised. It lags and hangs awfully often and during some ridiculously simple tasks. Few examples:

- "calculating":

when I go to Settings/Application manager and I click some app, to see how much memory it takes - when the "App info" opens, I often see "calculating" in place of the numbers of megabytes that I should see in the "storage" section. And it keeps calculating and calculating for quite some time after which -if at all- it finally gives You numbers - this happens especially in Google play services , when I click "manage storage" and then a browser window opens, and it starts calculating several values - it just never does, it keeps showing "calculating" but never actually returns numbers.

- gallery :

often lags as hell (also during just launching the app) and when I open the gallery and click the "camera" album it sort of hangs and stays hanged for 5-15-25 seconds before it actually enters the "camera" album and shows the thumbnails of pics.

- editing pictures:

I've read in this thread that somebody mentioned problems with gallery and with editing. Somebody else mentioned that it works for him apart from crop function. Well, if it goes to editing and gallery, I on the other hand do not even have the "edit" option in the gallery - even though I have two photo editors installed ... (one of which is samsung stock updated via samsung apps and another one is a great editor I got from amazon app store - both apps have been backed up before changing rom to DN3 and then restored). Those editors after restoring my apps are here and they work, I can launch them and use them - but in the picture gallery I don't have the "edit" function anywhere - and I remember that it was there in the stock rom ...

- other application failing and stoping "unexpectedly" ...

- widgets tab:

I don't have widgets tab in apps. I can only access widgets and choose them via home screen when editing its content.

So, this much for now. If anyone would like to know further details regarding the unsmoothness of my DN3 on my N7105, let me know.

If anyone has some solutions to the above issues, or had similar issues and knows how to fix them, feedback would be highly appreciated.

Thanks guys in advance.

[MENTION=262461]SteveMc[/MENTION] : +1 to what You wrote. I got it the same as You described on my N7105 with DN3v5.

But about the music player I actually don't care - it is such non-intuitional crap that I gave it up right away: use "jetAudio plus" or "Rocket player". Rocket player is a completely different level of music player compared to the stock music player. - and then jetAudio is kinda the same way compared to Rocket, but misses one significant interface thing: folders and browsing of folders (it allows You to set up a specific folder, but only one - so that's a bummer if You have more than one, e.g. one on external SDcard and one on phone's internal memory ... And in this aspect/functionality Rocket player still beats jetAudio). Please excuse me a little off-topic.

[MENTION=302838]hezahonker[/MENTION]: if I understand You correctly, it looks like You have installed the wrong ROM.

As far as I am concerned there is no DN4 for the LTE version - DN4 is for N7100 version of note2, which is a version without LTE.

For note2 with LTE (N7105) there is only DN3.

And if You installed a ROM for non-LTE version on a LTE hardware , then no wonder You're having problems with sim / modem or other radio related things.
