Alright I've successfully done everything up to the point where I am to flash the radio. Using Philz recovery, I've wiped, flashed the ROM, rebooted to recovery, flashed superuser. When I try to flash the Radio, it gives me the following:

Did you change or edit your build.prop?? It is failing bc your build product name was modified..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RoyVegasPinoy:
Edit: I remember changing my build prop a while back when I was trying to make google wallet work. How do I restore it?

I was wondering if anyone is having battery drain on this ROM? I do use two xposed modules.

I tried SlimRom today. I liked it but it didn't have a lot of the features I've gotten use to from Touchwiz, so I decided to come back. I'm waiting for the kinks to be ironed out of AllianceROM ;) but in the meantime, the thing I liked most about SlimRom was the default dpi. By default, that ROM uses a dpi setting of 245 as opposed to 320 in this ROM. I've edited the build.prop and changed the lcd density to 245 and it looks sweet. However, when I go to use the dialer, it is sitting mostly to the left side of the screen off center. Is there a way to change the dpi for the dialer and any other program?

Thanks for taking your time to read this post.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] PhilDX:
I've been running the odexed version for a little over a month now and the batt has been fantastic. I was running CM11 before this but I had a recurring radio related wakelock issue that couldn't be resolved. I miss AOSP but got tired of the problems.

FWIW, I don't use exposed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rudy_Ruettiger:
Xposed has a DPI per app module. Also some 3rd party dialers in the play store will work for the smaller DPI as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wolfballz:
Since I bought my note 2 from a buddy of mine it was already OTA updated to 4.4.2 ND7. Is there a Odin tar file of ND7 4.4.2 that is rooted and deodexed? I used ghettoroot and am currently rooted but I want to deodex. I followed the thread for deodexing ND7 but after rebooting it would hang on the Verizon logo. I'm assuming Philz recovery won't work since I'm locked down.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaveKnowsAll:
I wouldn't call it battery drain issues, so much, as draining like stock. I have greenify running to smooth things out a bit, and the AGNI kernel, but no matter what I do it just doesn't hold the battery like a good custom ROM would. R3D's, for instance, get's much better battery life for me, but the gps won't work so I'm stuck with this for now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mace68:
Okay, I had to go through all this again and I have verified (twice to be sure) that if you hang indefinitely at the boot logo and cannot get any further after flashing any 4.4.2 ND7 TW ROM you need to format/wipe your internal sd card (/data/media) under "Mounts and Storage" using Philz latest recovery (6.48.4), not TWRP. Seems the two recoveries might format partitions differently and the TWRP method doesn't work in this case.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deejaydark:
Is tether unlocked?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mace68:
After trying a few different methods the only way I could get wifi tethering working was by installing the Xposed framework and using the X Tether (Moto Tether) Xposed module.

I believe this only applies to these stock ROMs as most other custom ROMs have the tether fix already integrated, and Xposed might cause problems on custom ROMs from what I've read.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deejaydark:
Thanks :) works like a charm. I wish sdswap was on here like beans build 22 but folder mount pro works the same
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rayjr13:
Thought I'd add a note that I'm running the HTC Blinkfeed port on sKKy_n3b with the 4x5 prism app setting adjusted to 334DPI and font scaled 75.

Actually like this device now (2 years later) thanks to so manies efforts and contribution.

I installed the Odex version tonight, and I must say, it's running faster than Beans 25 was for me. Granted, that might not be true for the months and months I was on it; the crippling lag I was experiencing on it just started in the last few weeks. I figured, if I have to factory reset, might as well try something new.

The only thing I'm a bit sad about is the lack of Air Command (seriously, it makes the S-Pen so much more useful), which I enjoyed during my brief time on the Ditto Note 3 ROM.

Anyway, I followed the directions, and I had/have absolutely no issues, wifi or otherwise. We have ourselves a rock solid ROM here, folks.

Last, but certainly not least, THANK YOU to the developers that made this happen. I'm very grateful to you all.

I seem to be having a problem with the OS baked in VPN, it keeps cutting out after 2 minutes of usage. I recently started using the VPN feature, since october and didn't think to write in. It has been doing this since october. Any Ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
So I guess the June 19th build is the latest one still? The latest stock build? And why is TWRP still not able to flash this on the latest recovery version without seriously screwing up the OS? I just don't get it. Hate using PhilZ or CWM. They install so much crap onto my sdcard and are just in general ugly and antiquated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] FMXP:
The de-bloated ROM works pretty good for me. I had one random freeze and one random soft restart in my first 2 weeks of using this ROM which isn't bad at all considering. Thanks for making it and I can't wait for Lollipop!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xflbret:
Hello all,

I was using this ROM for a few months. And, with the exception of the rare FC from an app, it proved pretty solid. However, I was getting bored with it and liked the look and features of Lollipop, so I tried a few L ROMs. They proved buggy, which doesn't bother me by itself...until it interferes with my music. Then I care. All the L ROMs around here have at least one bug which interfered with my music one way or another, so I'm back here for now...

But, that's not what I came here to talk about.

I have been doing some reading, and I'm very confused about a couple of things....

-Since I'm bored with this ROM, I thought a new theme would jazz it up for me and make it feel new again. I went in to my research thinking that a KK theme is a KK theme is a KK theme. Apparently, that isn't the case. There's a lot of discussions about how X theme works great on Y ROM but will break Z ROM...so, can anyone recommend a good theme or themes that they know work on this specific ROM?

-One thing I always loved about the CM ROMs is the ability to skip music tracks when the phone is locked by long-pressing the volume button. I have not found out how to do that on this ROM. Is it possible? If so, how can I do that?

Thanks in advance for the answers.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
Forget what the Admin said lol... want themes? Get alliance 30, same dev and like 32 themes to pick from. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xflbret:
Can I dirty flash that over this one, since it is the same dev and all?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ntrain2k:
Does anyone know if this version keeps apps, settings, etc?

If not is there a 4.4.2 version with root that does?

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xflbret:
I think I am coming back to this rom. I am using the alliance one as was recommended, but while it is mostly stable it is still too slow and unresponsive for my tastes. Also, it has some unnecessary Samsung bloat apps in it, which I don't get because I think it is the same author of this rom who eliminated bloat.

My question: is there a good place to get all the S5 apps so I can flash them in to this rom so I can have the best of both worlds?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
You can't get them all, but you can extract them from the alliance apk and have most, i have s translate which was either missing or broken.

If you did a dirty flash i would expect the rom to be slow, however it may have just needed time to settle in.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] naviathan:
Has anyone else had issues with sdcard0 not writable? Any fixes?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
There is a fix in the alliance build 30 thread, i believe it is called sd fix, is an app, if you can't find it I'll upload the apk.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] plunk:
Safe to Odin?

So, are all three versions in the original post considered safe to apply with Odin? I'm wanting to utilize Odin because I understand that it wipes differently than a custom recovery such as PhilZ. I'm also trying to follow advice from the sticky post about not utilizing Odin except for Stock flashes. I'm chasing some odd problems with the compass and GPS. I'm currently on a 5.1.1 ROM with ND7 radio but I'm not sure how far back I can or should flash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
With Odin you can flash back to what your phone originally had with the return to stock thread, if you want to flash this rom, I'm pretty sure you just need to use recovery, wipe and flash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] naviathan:
I hunted but could not find any app in that thread. Could you upload please?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
Ok going to upload it, if it doesn't install, just copy it to /data/app/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] naviathan:
You freaking rock!!! I was afraid I was going to have to reload the ROM for 5th time. Thank you!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
No problem, there is a version in the op of this thread that had it included, but just as easy to install it lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
So I'm back on this rom, build 30 started to fall apart rotation stopped working.

Could have been from anything I did, but this build is so much smoother running.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
Root isn't taking properly or xposed is being lame, I can't get xposed to install the module. :/

Just needed to run the sd write fix.

What do I have to do if I took the 4.4.2 Ota update. I can't find a way to root this phone for nothing. Please someone PM me. Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] HueyT:
Latest ghetto root and Safe strap recovery will work great for ND7. You're limited to ND7 roms like 4.4.2 debloated deknoxed stock, N3bula.nd7, Trents, Mocha Drizzle, Alliance 30, SR KitKat, DN3.

Also, SM-N900V is Note3 Vzw. This is for Note2 VZW.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] astr0ng:
anyone have a link to the mj9 firmware, i need that before coming to nd7 but beans link in the referenced post is dead.

i've decided it is becoming harder to find the files needed and AFH has provided me storage space, thank you for that :)

anything you need that you can't find, check here.

i'll try to mirror files that are required to root/return to stock and the radios.

i would also like to mirror the latest rom files as well, but these are usually the most sought after.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
Well crap. I recently went from this system, to CM12.1 nightlies, and then wanted to go back to a fresh 4.4.2 stock install. Went in and wiped everything, Odin'd back to 4.1.2 VRAMC3, tried rooting and unlocking with CASUAL and hit a brick wall. Eventually limped my way through that bugginess and got into TWRP. Installed PhilZ recovery, followed the steps to install this ROM again, and here I set now staring at a red Verizon logo with a blue LED for the last 30 minutes, and nothing is happening. My phone is almost hot to the touch, and I fear my battery is nearly dead. What the hell.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
I had the same problem, what fixed it for me was restoring a nandroid, flashed over it a few times and used the latest twrp to completely wipe everything except ext-sd a few times and I finally got this rom to stick, if you don't have a nandroid I would try wiping a couple times in advanced and then flash the new rom, come to think about it factory reset may have been using cm 12.1 for the reset so try wiping everything in advanced except ext-sd 5 times and flash, if it hangs I'll try to come up with another idea.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
I got it straightened out, the solution was to Odin the original recovery and do a factory reset after I had already installed the ROM. I still don't know why custom recoveries that can operate outside the realm of what a corporation would allow, still can't do a proper full format of a partition, but the shoddy basic OEM recovery can. With the prevalence of data corruption, it has never been more important for us to have a permanent and easy solution once and for all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
I was at work when it occurred on my old note 2, glad you had luck with Odin.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cokex:
anyone know if I can go from rooted 4.1.1 to this rom? or do I need to do 4.1.2 and then 4.3 and then 4.4 ??

TIA
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
4.1.1 to 4.3 then 4.4.2 should be fine, you can find all the files needed by visiting my profile and clicking on my website, it will take you to androidfilehost.com where I have collected the files needed to do so.

Just follow the instructions on the 4.3 ota topic from beanstown, I believe it was the original topic that it was asked about how to use odin for the radio on 4.3.

If you need help with odin, the forums are here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cokex:
Thanks for the reply .. I figured it out and got it working, but had a bit of fun getting there .. :)

So for anyone who needs this info .. I got it to work by Installing the latest Philz recovery and then flashed the toltevzw_mj9_official_firmware.tar.md5 firmware with odin, booted into recovery and installed JettRom_MJ9_V.3.0.zip because it was available for download, I did a dirty install and it looked pretty good but it started to reboot on its own.. So I Booted into recovery, wiped for new rom install, installed the 4.4.2 debloated v3, installed modem right after .. booted and everything is working great so far.

I did try going directly to 4.4.2 but it would hang at the red Verizon screen .. even left it on for 20min .. heh

This page has all the correct info and working downloads needed: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2617626

**Edit**

didn't see any mention of the galaxy gear 2 watch and this rom, I followed ebere62 instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2573200&page=38 and so far everything seems to be working .. After everything is installed, it didn't make sense to keep canceling updates as you can't do anything if you don't. So I said okay, and it updated the watch twice and it's still working.

Thanks for the Rom ..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
Can you direct me to the working links for 4.3, I doubt there are many people left with stock rooted devices, but it would help with the repository I have created to have a centralized location for everything, also I believe I will write up a guide and include that for download, mind if I use your experience?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cokex:
Here is some infos ..

Most of it can be found on this guys rom page.. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2617626

He zipped up Odin 3.0.7 and the firmware for 4.3 toltevzw_mj9_official_firmware.tar.md5 to make it easy, download link is here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23269279319200091

and then his rom is here: JETT Rom Version 2/24/2014 3.0 Rock Solid http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407574055

those 2 downloads should be able to get anyone to 4.3 .. if coming from 4.1.1/4.1.2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nh97103:
It was endless problems, but I finally managed to boot up. Originally, /data was corrupted, which I solved by using the data corruption thread in General. Then, I ran into the red Verizon screen of death. No matter what I did (factory resetting, clearing /system, starting from 4.3, installing the 4.3 firmware, etc.), I could not get it to boot. Finally, I switched from CWM recovery to Philz, and installed (the Odex version of) this Rom. Booted the first time.

Should anyone else read this while having trouble booting, I suggest switching to Philz to install the ROM first thing. That should solve the problem. I switched back to CWM recovery afterwards to install the Superuser zip, as well as the radio. I had no problems there. Good luck!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] boostedcx:
I'm confused.. I have an unlocked i605 with MC3 firmware. The instructions say to upgrade to 4.3 MJ9 before flashing this.. wont that re-lock my bootloader?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nh97103:
I don't know what Android version MC3 is, but if it's 4.1.2, go here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2617626 and flash the ROM/Odin the firmware before flashing this ROM. It will not lock your device; only updating via OTA/Kies will do that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
That means the released version here on xda, if you visit the website in my profile you will find most of the files needed, the Rom however beans deleted and isn't available, but other 4.3 roms are available.

I may be wrong, but I would imagine you only need to flash the MJ9 radio before using a 4.4.2 based rom.

That radio is available in my little repository along with a flashable zip for the 4.4.2 radio.

---------- Post added at 06:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:58 AM ----------

I believe that is the original 4.1.1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nh97103:
Nope. It's 4.3. That post also has the MJ9 firmware.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
I meant his current rom version.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] boostedcx:
Great, thanks for your replies. So, if I understand correctly, I only need to flash "Odin.WIFI.4G.Flash.Files.zip" from the JETT ROM page before flashing this ND7 ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Droid187:
My screen won't timeout or power won't turn off the screen right now. Lol! I don't know what happened. I'm using safestrap and this stock rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
I think all you should have to do is do the Odin stuff to root, reboot and make sure you are rooted, Odin the mj9 radio, then I believe it is possible to flash 4.4.2 of your choice and then flash the radio zip file and boot into 4.4.2.

From all of the instructions for 4.3 based roms it does not appear to be required to actually install the rom to update to 4.4.2.

---------- Post added at 12:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:35 AM ----------

Make sure you didn't check the screen on box in display or change the settings, if you look and it is set to timeout, you may need to flash a fresh copy.

I'm note sure what was causing the problem, but a few reboots seems to solve it for now. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xflbret:
Of all the ROMS here, this is the one I keep going back to because it is the most stable...and, yes, I am including Alliance when I state this. This ROM gives me almost zero problems. The cycle is always the same with me...this ROM is solid, but I get bored with it and feel left out of the whole lollipop thing. So, I try some Lollipop ROMs. They always have problems like FC's or Netflix won't work or data won't stay on or just something else that interferes with my daily use of the phone. So, I get sick of the problems and come back to this reliable ROM. Then, after a couple of months the cycle repeats.

So, unless the rumors are true and Samsung is going to throw us a bone with 5.1.1, I'm sticking with this ROM until I get another phone...another year or so.

What my question is...is there a good download link, with instructions, where I can download and install the S5 apps so I'm not as out of date with some of the apps? Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
You should be able to use the ones from alliance build 30, same dev and practically the same rom, some do not function as expected (ex. The eq on the music app is broken), if you want the s5 look that rom also has a theme.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] marcustaz:
I have 3 Note 2's for family and they all run CM 12.1 with almost zero issues. The one bug is sometimes switching from wifi to cellular, we get the ! point next to data and you need to switch the APNs around to get data back up. Other than that the ROM is pretty much bullet proof.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xflbret:
I tried Alliance, twice. Right after the flash, things work great (except for having to replace the Asian woman dialer). But, after the first few days the ROM just gets slower and slower and slower until I start to get FC's. Maybe that ROM is TOO big, I dunno. I agree on the surface that the same base and the same dev should equal same stability, but it just doesn't here.

Can you please link to a tut about how to switch APN's? I looked but couldn't find one. And, can you tell me exactly what ROM they're using? Every time I ask about a ROM all anyone ever says is "There's so many choices, just whatever works for you" which does nothing to help me. I need specifics, and would be very grateful to whomever can finally give them to me. Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
Have you changed the radio settings ever? I found the setting somewhere, wrote down the original and tried out different ones with speed test and the asu level.

---------- Post added at 04:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:18 PM ----------

That's strange, I never had a issue with it getting slower and I did a lot of things they recommended not to, instead of the mod packs (except the s5 stuff) I used xposed, dirty flashed a couple times when I tried agni, xda was the only app to give me a lot of issues then, now it just complains it failed to connect and connects anyway, only once on this stock 4.4.2 has it not loaded my participated section.

Hopefully he comes back and links the apn thing, that would be a interesting read, the official cm 12.1 should work fine for you if that's what you want, I tried the nightly builds and they worked pretty well, but I think you should use that if the official release branch isn't stable for you.
