Bootloader

As this is the only custom firmware thread alive I'd like to explain:

Bootloader is responsible for the first connection between device (hardware) and OS (operating system)

and lets the kernel start up.

As long as stock kernel stays same in (KitKat) firmware, any (KitKat) bootloader will do it's job.

Just in case the kernel is, let's say upgraded, reworked or so, upgrading the bootloader too is to consider.

Synopsis:

If you decide to go for newest custom firmware upgrading the bootloader may be advantageous.

Moreover it is done in about one minute without loss of data or else.

For further questions contact me in the second thread of my signature :highfive:

Thanks for the latest version

Flashed and i think i did everything right but when i checked the Phone Info using the app by same name saw that CSC field is empty. Earlier , in previous version it was india.

Can i ignore that and continue?

Thanks in advance

Edit: It got solved !!! Following [MENTION=5564860]Androidwizzard[/MENTION] post above decided to flash OE1 ( pretty much desperate to plug unexplained battery drain) and when it rebooted saw that CSC version is also updated :)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] roobert74:
For me is same CSC is unknown that is a problem ?

I flash OE1 bootloader,but still unknown show me .
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] beeshyams:
I don't know and it seems only two of us have reported this . will have to wait till [MENTION=1196805]wesam[/MENTION].othman responds

Requesting others who have flashed to check CSC

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Androidwizzard:
Did you reflash rom?

After flash I have INU see screenshots and after that flashed CSC changer.zip to DBT

everything is perfect.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] roobert74:
I have wesam.othman Touchwiz 9.00 just i flash OE1 bootloader,no reflash rom ,i must reflash rom ?

Sorry ,where ai find CSC changer.zip to DBT?

On CSC code show me like u INU,on firmware CSC not appear.

In my phone when u have CSC Germany on mine is nothing,what i must to do.

thnx
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
Before I released the rom I checked CSC by *#1234# and all was OK. I will check again tonight. CSC has nothing to do with bootloader.

Dial *#1234# and check. If you get supersu prompt grant it and dial again. This is how CSC is tested.

Report back please.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
I checked and reflashed the rom. CSC is OK.

Tip on wake lock finger print scanner static

Chances are that you may see this wAke lock keeping your phone alive and draining battery. To test, leave your phone used for minimum three hours and see partial wake locks in better battery statistics. If it shows this wAke lock then you are affected

This has nothing to do with hardware finger print scanner. It is a piece of Google code that belongs to Google + and is installed EVEN if you don't install Google +.

Solution that worked for me and should also work for you is download Google plus from play store ( faster than installing through aroma). Use greenify to hibernate Google plus.

This wAke lock vanishes :)

Flip side is that you may not get push notifications from Google plus- I have not tried since by default, I disable all push notifications

aside: FYI [MENTION=5867207]vaisakh7[/MENTION]. Power nap doesn't limit unless Google play isn't installed. Tagging you instead of making a separate post on your thread since there aren't many KK users there

Cheers
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] v7:
[MENTION=6285129]beeshyams[/MENTION] Can you make it clear?The Power Nap thing?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] beeshyams:
I installed completely debloated version of this ROM but this wAke lock was there

Read on Android forums that this is a piece of Google code that is related to Google +. So installed Goggle + and hibernated to eliminate this wAke lock

Power nap doesn't block this wAke lock, if Google plus is not installed and keeps the cell Alive for > 90% of time. Probably because it is an isolated bit of code not associated with any App???? IDK... Guessing
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] v7:
"fingerprint in this context means the build's identity as reported to Google."

I don't know why it drains on some devices.I never had that wakelock in my stats.I have G+ installed and hibernated.I get Notifications from the app.It seems that Greenifying is the simplest solution.

Tapped from my furious dogo ;)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] GonDr:
Where can i find OE1 bootloader to flash it, plz ?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Androidwizzard:
Follow my signature and find in post #2 there
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Lulavc:
Where do i find a 4 way boot options flashable? Without need of xposed.??
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
I can make one based on the latest firmware if you are willing to test it. Let me know.

Edit:

Those how are not using Reboot Menu by xposed, and still on stock reboot method,

Please test the attached mod.

copy both flashable zips to your device and flash the mod "wesamothman-RebootMenu.zip"

if it doesn't work or you face issues, reboot to recovery and flash "RollBack-Reboot.zip" for ROM v9.0

I didn't test the mod, i just did it. so please test and report back.

Otherwise, i will test it tomorrow.

Thank you,

wesamothman
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
And,

There is another firmware released,

(PDA: N7100XXUFOB1 CSC: N7100PRTFOB1 CHANGELIST: 4252278 BUILD DATE: 19.02.2015)

This seems to be a bit older than FOE1, and I don't see a reason to release it unless you guys need it, If I get many requests for it, I will think about doing it. PM me for that.

Good Night.

wesamothman
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] scrin378:
Isnt it 4 way reboot menu already in OP?? Or this one is something new???
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] zsandras:
Yes, I think you have right the 4way boot is useful on nightly roms or on the previous realizes of the stable or final versions. In mine opinion it's a big point to not need to use a 4way boot option.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] beeshyams:
[MENTION=4579645]wesamothman[/MENTION]. Thanks for a lovely ROM which i couldnt enjoy for long since my Note 2 has hardware issues and switching over to Honor 6. All the best and the Note 2 is lucky to have you as dev. Besides, have completed today, finally one long pending project of mine on battery savings. Link in my signature or here (http://xdaforums.com/general/genera...ce-battery-t3129533/post61792343#post61792343). If you feel it can be useful to others you may add it in OP in battery savings section. No issues if you don't :)

[MENTION=5564860]Androidwizzard[/MENTION]

You have been a big help patiently answering many questions on multiple threads. will miss your support as i move on, thanks a lot
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
Newer and based on latest firmware FOE1.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] scrin378:
Can i flash it over the old one??
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
if you mean over old 4-way reboot menu, then yes you can. but make sure you are on FOE1 base.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] scrin378:
Yes am on new base..thanks;)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Lulavc:
Working perfect. One question: what means by Hard reboot?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
Thanks. Have you tried it on new base ? Did you try Hard Reboot vs Normal Reboot ?;)

Thanks. Have you tried it on new base ? Did you try Hard Reboot vs Normal Reboot ?;)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] scrin378:
No...just recovery for now. To be honest dont know the diference between those two :( i miss download mode :)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Lulavc:
All options working perfect. Using on latest release/base.

---------- Post added at 02:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:51 PM ----------

Me too. Whats Hard Reboot? It kills all running processess and reboot?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
Hard reboot simulates long press on power button and kills all running processes and takes longer go boot up. But it starts then clean.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Lulavc:
This latest release kernel is good? Can someone post a zip file for me?

Im using agni but wanna try stock. Or agni still better?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
Agni is good, but i am always in favor with stock kernels.

Anyway, here is a flashable zip of FOE1 stock kernel

Announcement

Downloaded N7100XXUFOB1. I unpacked it and i saw it is worth giving a try due to firmware code changes. If i am able to internationalize it and boot it up, then will release it.

Stay tuned,

with love,

wesamothman
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Lulavc:
Great news. Lets see.

By the way.... sorry for asking again.... can you send me the modem from last release?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
Go here, post 2, http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=54320353&postcount=2

Modem Section, XXUFNG1 modem, download it, it is flashable zip,

Thanks to [MENTION=5564860]Androidwizzard[/MENTION] for keeping bootloaders and modems repo.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Lulavc:
XXUFOA1 is newer ?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
We cannot tell which modem is newer, we can tell which bootloader is newer because bootloader depends on firmware changelist as well.

However, modem depends on region / country.

For example, new firmware might be released with old modem.

So you may want to try XXUFOA1, SZUFNL1, or XXUFNG1 modems and see which one fits your signal reception better and keep it. I am personally on XXUFNG1 modem because it works very well where I live.

I hope this is clear for you now.

Good luck.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
Announcement

Good news. I was able to internationalize FOB1 firmware, it is under testing now...

This firmware has many different lockscreen and home wallpapers such as the attached. And the boot up and shutdown sounds and animations are little different.

I will also provide a zip to stock bootup media in case you dont like it.

Stay Tuned...

Wesam Othman.

Thnx man ,i will test it.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Weetbix:
Flashed without a problem, with a full wipe. I've had it going for a few hours now and so far no issues. The latest agni kernel works fine (I just gotta have touchwake).

Thanks once again :) :good:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Weetbix:
I did notice that the new default wallpaper isn't one of the ones you can choose to apply. No problem though as I found them in /system/wallpaper
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
Yes. They are in system/wallpaper.

Picker is intact.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] SergiX44:
Too many updates lol

I'm starting to download it, but i have a 4Mbit network :(
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] roobert74:
I not updates is antoher version another build u can use what u have now:):)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] SergiX44:
Yeah i know i was joking
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] zsandras:
Installed (clean) yesterday the new v10 rom and at the moment all works perfect and the battery life with stock kernel is awesome. Thank you wesam.othman great job.

What about the rom space, how ever i installed only a low app package (+ SPen features) the free space on system rom is only 43.8MB. Is it OK? On the previous version with same install package there was much more memory space. Will the rom not stuck because the low limit free NAND memory space ?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
Did you debloat? Debloating saves system partition space...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] zsandras:
Yes of course, and the selected apps and features were same as on the before build. I'll try to reinstall it.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Weetbix:
According to TB I have 636MB free for the system rom. I basically flashed the rom without installing extra apps. Quite a significant difference...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] zsandras:
Thx mate for the specification. I'll cut some extra apps.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] esyesy:
Modes

Hello wesam.othman,

Your Modes - Stock PowerUp Shutdown without Sound & Languages De-Bloater, that worked perfect until V.9, not work on V.10.

Can you do somthing for us (if you will have some free time)?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
Can you link me to these mods? I will then download them and check.

Edit: I remembered something ... v10 has different boot up and shut down animation and sounds.

In download section just below v10 download link. There is a flashable zip for stock media files. Flash it.

Then check the mod and report back please. Thank you.

Did you try what I said in my edited post above ?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] esyesy:
Not yet, but it was the same (failed) with the languages mod.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
Ok. For now. Debloat the languages yourself.

Go to system/sipdb

Delete all languages zip files you don't need. And keep the languages you only need.

Then system/VODB

delete the languages you don't need.

Do NOT delete lib / mul folders and do NOT delete resources.txt

After more than 2 and a half years of faithful service my Note 2 is about to bite the dust. It has stopped realising that it gets plugged into anything - hence it cannot be charged any more. My hand has been forced into the upgrade I didn't think I needed.

Thanks for continuing to put out updated roms [MENTION=4579645]wesamothman[/MENTION] ... great to know that not every developer has basically ignored us. Even better that it be your stock/debloated rom :good:

Hello Wessam,

Thanks for continuing of Note 2 support, i'm on your V2 till now, and I don't plan to change as it's the last I could get the External2Internal script that swaps the external sd with the internal sd working.

I was just asking, if there is any 240 mod and I mean the stock apps like camera, contacts, and the most important thing (Stock Note2 Launcher) ???

Thanks for your efforts and support.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] ZipMaker:
solid stable, but i need some features, can we port some note 4 features? anyone knows how we do?

(white call screen, popup calling feature etc.)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wesamothman:
This is only stock rom. Rooted deodexed and zipaligned. No mods to defeat the concept of stability and robustness.

Only mod is:

- Call record in dialer.

- no increasing ring tone.

- S6 media sounds.

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Androidwizzard:
Check if your IMEI is still shown correctly (hopefully yes)

Which is your current BL? and which recovery do you use (latest TWRP has got such reported issue)

Grab one of the flashable modems from my signature thread, the patched one eg. and flash through recovery.

Normally it should help if you have an international N2 N7100
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] roobert74:
Nice ,we wait!:)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Mosh Edd:
Hi bro, yees, my IMEI is okay, and network is okay, am using a patched modem, ND1 and bootloader is ND3.

I tried even before changing recovery, it was on official 4.4.2 but still didn't help.

Reason why I want to change the dialer it's because it's recording calls in mp4 format, while the stock one records in lower quality (wmn)
