Ok guys I sent out the link to the testers. ..... there will be no sharing or I will stop the development of the rom.... as I have built it and so far I have no issues..... I always recommend being on 4.4.2 bootloader as I am and have not had one single reboot and I have been beating this thing up.....

Thanks,

Chaz187

Yep I've been using it with my polar activity loop, my car stereo, Google maps, I mean I've been doing everything I can to get this thing to reboot. I have only had one reboot and I have no idea why but I had two separate versions of Tapatalk installed. One said pro the other said vip. When I tried to uninstall the pro it rebooted? Other than that one issue, I haven't had any problems at all. Battery life is great! Finally stock reliability. I really like our developers. While I may not be the biggest fan of themes, (mostly because it makes certain pages/screens hard to read) I love the small tweaks they do to make our phones have that little something extra. Jlmancuso and Chaz187 are both stars in their own right. They breathe new life into our two year old phones.

Thank you to both of you.

Test version install fine. I do find two potential issues:

1. Google to text kept on fc.

2. Call comes in take a long time to show on screen
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] VikingoRMCF:
Everything working well so far, the beat down comes tomorrow during work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] huytrang90:
Ok. I found the work around or maybe potential changes/customization to update to ROM. :)

1. look like the GoogleTTS and its apk may not update with right version. I switch to SAMSUNG TTS: "language and input ==> Text-to-speech options ==> select Samsung text-to-speech engine".

2. Improving response time of call in by disabling "Answering and ending calls ==> Voice Control" in Assessibility.

Now it is working fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chaz187:
Ok Google text to speak option has been fixed...??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] huytrang90:
I need HELP. :)

As I tried to setup my phone to use this as my new DD - it works great. I tried to delete the Email app via AndroidTuner, then restore my backup from 2.3 version from JLM.

Now I can see the file are there in right place (apk), however, it does not show in my list of application. I have tried fix permission.

Any suggestions?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
It will never work properly like that. The Email from my rom is a different version and has different libs. Pull the email apk from the rom zip and use it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] huytrang90:
I figured that probably the problem. I have tried to clean the secEmail or similar from both /data/app and /system/app then copy the SecEmail_J from this stock rom over the same folder, fix permission, but it is not showing up. :(

Anything I may miss? any other options?

Edited: WORKED now. had to delete many residue of wrong email app from 2.3. :) thanks JLM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] arunningpir8:
After running this all day it has been 8 hours almost to the dot and I am still at 75% battery. Absolutely flawless performance! The only issue I have had is not being able to rearrange folders in the app drawer but I am pretty sure this is a samsung bug.

This build lets me know for sure that Samsung royally screwed up the 4.3 update as I had nothing but problems with it, but this is solid and I love it! I am even using the old bootloader with wifi patch and where I had to constantly reboot with 4.3 I have had 0 problems with this.

In short, my brutal testing has shown as flawless results as possible. Thanks again Chaz for stepping up and making this ROM!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] huytrang90:
Found another issue:

Go to settings => Sound => Saumsung applications-Call then try to changes "Ringtones and keypad tones", I got FC on Phone app process, lost mobile connetivity. I had to restart to get it back.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Patch7:
Is anyone getting error 927 when trying to update any playstore apps?

---------- Post added at 03:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:29 PM ----------

Nevermind it is working again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chaz187:
I will look into it as I tested and it does fc but comes up and worked fine....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] huytrang90:
Does this include the tethering "fix"? :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chaz187:
I will not include that in my rom at all there is a good way to do it and I will not add it I'm not being part of that but I have been told that the flashable zip out there does work
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] VikingoRMCF:
Running the test version, and I can't duplicate this.

Haven't seen this happen.

Also, I have xposed installed with wanam module activated.

I think it's included, turns on just fine for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bleichtman:
We're all taking about the ROM being tested and not the one linked correct?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrjeancw:
any pro/cons in flashing this vs taking the ne2 ota and using cf auto root? other than knox tripping which i really dont care about since its only a sprint store issue and it will not mess up my phone in any way shape or form.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chaz187:
There are faetures in this that will make it better then the ota....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrjeancw:
ok cool then that settles it then..

any special things i need to do to flash this coming from 4.1.2 whompasaurus?

i went from 4.1.2 whomp to 4.3 back down to 4.1.2, took ota to 4.3 (due to it being recommended and also the rom i was on messing up on me), back down to 4.1.2 and back to whomp

all the times i have gone down to 4.1.2 its been with the MC2_STOCK_with_COUNT_RESET-20130511

somewhere in the mix i think i formated my card once. dont remember which version i was on. whatever i decide to do now whether it be ne2 ota or this ne2 i plan on formating the card. i just want to make sure i have the smoothest transittion to ne2. i hate FC's, i love having my 4 in 1 restart, and also my wifi tether (i dont really use the hotspot because i always have the wifi tether).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ceabbott2:
Ok guys Gmail started giving me a "security error" warning and then an immediate shut down. I wiped cache and data on the app, then rebooted. It worked for about an hour and now it's doing it again. Any ideas? First time this has ever happened.

Thanks

Charles
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] huytrang90:
Got my first restart after used it for the whole day 15+ hours.

Battery was under 15% after using it for 10+ hours. Then I started to charge the phone thru wall connector and car while in transit.

Phone operated normally until 30 minutes ago while browsing Internet via chrome. Battery is now back at 10% because I have not charge it for last hour and heavy usage
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chaz187:
People having reboots are you using exposed and are you on official 4.4.2 bootloader? I don't use exposed and I am on official 4.4.2 bootloader and have never had a reboot.......
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
How do we know if we have the official 4.4.2 bootloader?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Before install did you wipe everything including internal sdcard? Also what apps have you installed that required root permissions?

I have/am using older bootloader and exposed without any problems but I also wipe properly first. Think of your phone like yourself and it makes since. When you go poo and dont wipe properly there are left overs that cause you to itch and stink. Those who wipe properly dont have those issues.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] huytrang90:
Ha..ha.. Yes sir. I made sure that i wipe, then washed multiple times. I think the "rumors" is 3x time as minimum. then also clean the excess from SDcard.

For my test, everything was working fine. My purpose is to drain it to under 15% or 10% to see if it inhibits issue with low battery (reboots while recharging). The reboot may have been coincident.

I forgot how to pulll the last kernel message, but if you need it I will send it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrjeancw:
has anybody noticed cell coverage drop with this? usually im at 4g lte at my house..and with tis i have red x on the signal. i had to flash the wifi fix patch to get the wifi to click on.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrjeancw:
also keeps saying needs to restart because my memory card is not found? werid.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Are you it says memory card and not sim card? If it actually the sim card then try flashing a different modem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrjeancw:
Ok this is getting ridiculous. My phone cannot keep signal. I dropped a call 4 times in 2 minutes. No data signal either. And yes its sim card not memory card. I also get network errors. What modem can I try?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] blacksmith_84:
It wouldn't hurt to give them all a try... My phone seems to like MC2 the best... I tried all of them over the span of a week or two and MC2 hasn't left me hangin... Here's the link to RWILCOS modem repo he put together if you don't have it already...

Wouldnt an mc2 modem on a ne2 firm cause issues?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] blacksmith_84:
No its just the radio (baseband version) the device uses to connect to the sprint network... It's not firmware or anything like that just a modem. .. I'm not on this rom yet I'm running the S5FEAT but it's all the same when it comes to modems... You can flash any of them and it shouldn't affect the rom itself... Someone else may have a better explanation but like I said I've flashed them all on different roms and mc2 works the best for me no matter what rom I am on...

Thanks for this.

I flashed the mc2 modem found under the kk ne2 repository. ..should I download the mc2 modem foubd under the jb repository? Still getting dropped signal (red x) and system cant find sim card (im on sprint dont need it).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] blacksmith_84:
The one I'm on is from the JB repo... I'm not sure about the sim card issue your having though..

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrjeancw:
ill try that but man, this rom is giving me issues. when i try to unlock the phone by pressing power to turn it on it doesnt and i have to do a battery pull. sometimes when i go to pick up a phone call it freezes when i slide the green answer button. lets see if the modem/radio fixes this. if not i may have to go to the community rom or take the OTA and root that.

then my su says the binary is not found. i updated the su on the market.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ceabbott2:
I was having a bunch of issues with SU binary stuff. I believe my problems were fixed after SuperSU was updated. Can't remember exactly but I had a heck of a time obtaining root. Sounds like a fresh start may be in order. (Go back to MC2 via Billiards return to stock zip).

Good luck

Has this been released? If not... Got room for one more tester?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lhc80:
The tester rom works great everything run sweet
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] huytrang90:
After run the tester ROM since made available, it works great. I have now using this as DD. Battery is working great.

Note: for those who customize with exposed you should know what you are doing as some modules causing issue. I don't use wanam nor xblast. Xblast cause some delay in launch and weirdness on phone wake up when I tested. I had ran in some issue with xprivacy as well, but had figured out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ceabbott2:
Hey Chaz

Quick question.

I read on this thread or maybe Community that some folks were having issues with the screen delay on when a call comes in. I'm having that issue but it's mostly random. Would you recommend that I find the apk that was referenced and give it a shot? Oh I recall jman (I think) saying to set min cpu to 400. Is that a good starting point for our Rom?

Thanks

Charles
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
The apk I suggested was no-frills cpu tuner. I suggested it cause it is just a simple tool (and small) to adjust min and max settings. It should help and wont hurt to try.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chaz187:
Yeah try it sorry for the late reply im on vacation and the service stunks here when not fishing..... hehehehe
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ceabbott2:
Oh Crap! Sorry Chaz I didn't realize you were on vacation too. You and jman vacationing together? [emoji1]

Thanks for the reply I'll let you be enjoy your time away...sort of.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Fishing? Damn wish we were on vacation together? The Tuna is crazy right now in socal way early too bad I dont have time to get out there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chaz187:
How is the test rom running guys? I have been on it for 2 weeks now and can say its been great!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] datdirtyscrew:
Couldn't tell you
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] guycan:
Well can't answer that cause was too late when i saw the post but we all know u do put out great/awesome work so when u put out the full version I will be downloading it.Thanks for the time and effort u do for all of us here and elsewhere.

SGNote2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ceabbott2:
Great so far I forgot I had purchased Set CPU back in my old OGEVO days so I used that to adjust the min speed to 300. Figured I would try that speed first. One thing can anyone recommend a battery use app that has a small footprint. I started eating battery and I installed a few apps all at once. Trying to find something easy to use for us less tech savvy folks.

TIA

Charles
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] huytrang90:
It has been great.

I think it may be beta or heck even released with

1. your additional fixed as reported by tester: FC on GoogleTTS, slow incoming call display (seems because of GoogleTTS)

2. :) can we have the S5 or newer Accuweather supporting transparency. :) been looking but messing my up.

3. some additional modding:?

a. battery full notification - removed

b. screen on when text in or maybe S5? lol

c. Alarm notification mod? :)

Again, it is a great base thus far besides the #1 already fixed by you. Time to let it out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] datdirtyscrew:
Kinda defeats the purpose of stock.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] huytrang90:
:good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mfng:
Would love to give this ROM a go if you would like some more constructive feedback. Thanks for your time and work!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] VikingoRMCF:
Great, no FC or random reboots. Flew to Colorado and drove back to California and battery life was great. This bad MoFo is solid.

PS:

I also have xpose and wanam installed.

release it

release it

Ok guys I think it is ready to post the rom tonight when I get home from work. I will start a new thread as to not cause confusion with the odexed version..... for the most part I have not had one issue with it only had the fc on google tts which I fixed right away...

Thanks,

Chaz187
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tx_dbs_tx:
Chaz, your release will be deodexed right? Thanks for this!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chaz187:
Yes deodexed for sure.....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mfng:
I've been out of the loop for a bit tried many 4.3 Roms and had nothing but problems. Went back to 4.1.2 and have stayed there since. Would love to jump on this ROM when it drops tonight. Would I be ok to just wipe and flash this ROM from 4.1.2 or will that not work? I just want to start prepping now for tonight's release. Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tx_dbs_tx:
Coming from 4.1.2 you will need to flash the NE2 modem AND Odin flash the MK4 wifi fix from your pc. Then flash the NE2 ROM.

You can wipe and flash the 4.4 NE2 ROM prior to flashing the modem and the wifi fix but your wifi will not work until you flash the wifi fix via odin on your pc. You're gonna want to locate the MK4 wifi fix and the NE2 modem now so that you have it all ready once Chaz drops the ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] wpcprez:
Hey Chaz,

was this thread created? I can't seem to find it. need the deodex so I can get the hotspot mod. thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chaz187:
No it hasn't been I am busy and I will get it out asap!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ceabbott2:
Just checking Chaz do you have a personal site that we should look to for any updates? I don't know of there are updates you plan to do I just wanted to make sure I was looking in the correct area.

My stuff is running very well.

So far, super smooth and fast. Thank you sir.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ceabbott2:
Hey Jlmancuso,

First thank you for the Rom getting ready to take her for a spin. A couple of questions. First forgive my ignorance you mentioned not all of the stock apps are deodexed. Other than theming what are the benefits of apps being deodexed? Second since you went back to the stock dialer and the deodex stuff what are the main differences between your wonderful Rom and the stock Rom?

Thank you for the reply and VERY EXCITED about your kernel. You know that's the one thing we NEVER had much luck on the development side for our Note II's.

Thanks again

Charles
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Ok to clear up the stock base (ota or odin) was not fully odexed this rom is fully deodex. Odex improves speed but the apk and its odex file are larger than a deodex apk. Deodex has smaller system footprint but uses more of your data partition since your system must create odex files and place them in your dalvik cache.

Now on to what makes my rom differ from pure stock. Read the long list in second post of the OP aka change log. Everything listed is what has been done. The biggest reason for this rom was to have no knox (removed from rom and kernel) and rooted (both rom and kernel). Also to provide a base for future development. Wonder why spen clipping does not work on chaz's or rwilco's roms? They are all built from a badly done stock base (my old one) and is also the reason they use the S5 dialer (because my original base had a badly deodexed stock dialer). So to make future roms better I had to make a better base for everyone to build off of.

Last thing. The custom tw kernel is not mine. I am only helping to get it working for our device. I am almost as much of a noob with kernels as most users here. Well maybe not that much but close. Maybe one day I will really get into kernels but for now I have way too much work just doing roms.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ceabbott2:
Thank you for the detailed explanation. Man that REALLY helped me understand how much work hard work goes into your Roms. Amazing work sir.

Thank you

Charles
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ErichArndt:
Hi, JL. Love your work.

I've just installed it, and so far everything seems great.

I did, however, get an "SNS has stopped working" error when I first signed into Twitter. I've seen this on some previous roms as well.

It's not a huge problem. Just thought you might wanna know.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tdusen:
Good news. Not using the S5 dialer solved the dialer lag.

I've found my new favorite rom. Thanks a lot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Well we (us devs) knew the dialer lag was due to the s5 dialer. It was due to it trying to start the video phone service that we dong have. Now that there is a solid n2 dialer some of the other roms will change over to it. Glad you like it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] skye206:
I am trying to uninstall 2 apps. Sprints voicemail and sprint zone. I have checked private apps and system apps, I can't find the apk. There also greyed out inside the app manager.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
They are both in data/app i believe vvm.apk and zone.apk
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ChodaBoyUSA:
Thank you for all of your (and everyone else's) hard work in putting this together. It looks exactly like what I have been seeking in a near-stock ROM. :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] wackydroid:
Was just about to post a request in the Community Thread for you to recommend another of your roms (I love your work) that I can use until the updated Community is ready, when I found this.

I make/receive too many calls and that dialer is driving me bonkers...along with a few other dialer-related issues.

There goes my lunch hour...

:cool:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] guycan:
Is anyone having the browser does not exit when pressing the back button on the latest update

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] skye206:
Thanks I found them.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
FYI if you open the app drawer.. press menu.. uninstall/disable apps it will allow you to uninstall them there also (I did try and they did uninstall).

On another note (lol! pun) I have the odex rom up and running. I also have included a script that will odex any apps you have installed. It will odex the apps and wipe your dalvik cache. Got a few things to tweak (script mostly) and will get it posted soon.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chaz187:
Ok this is smooth but like on my stock rom when in contacts and you press a contact you get the fc contacts has stoped

That is why I used the s5 dialer and contacts. ..

Thanks,

Chaz187
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Disregard above post.. that is not an issue with this base.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chaz187:
My issue.... fixed ....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] skye206:
Your work is greatly appreciated you and chaz have brought life back to my note 2.

I also patiently await the kernel you are working on.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Stock 1.1 is up only minor changes moved stock browser and sns to /system/app so they work properly. I would not suggest flashing just use es file explore to move the two apps yourself. If you reflash you will have to delete you /data/app folder so you wont have duplicate app causing issues.
