[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] NWNJ:
I am also suffering with the lack of gps lock. I thought I had it a few times now but it does not survive a reboot.

---------- Post added at 01:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:36 PM ----------

I completely agree with these statements. This is the best rom out there, I absolutely love it, but the lack of gps lock is a killer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaveKnowsAll:
Ahh...you're killing me BJ... I was so looking forward to trying this weekend and finally getting gps...grantedI had already failed with twrp 2.8, but you were giving me hope anyway. I am going to try again with a regional gps conf that I haven't tried before. There has got to be some clue from the fact that it locjs then loses it on reboot....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bjhatch:
I did the config to US after I lost satellites. No dice. There's some sort of conflict...maybe with an app. Idk
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jorden7491:
I have a question I am on 4.3 mj9 and i downloaded the link to this rom update I normally delete the Boot.img file before installing any roms cause the bootloader is lock on 4.3. im now currently in a boot loop im not sure if this rom is on the 4.3 still or the 4.4. any ideas how to fix this problem?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bjhatch:
This boot isn't locked? Just run the dl...you should update to nd7 but I dont b think it's necessary. The boot on this rom is not locked
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jorden7491:
So what would be the steps. I'm at now on i605 verizon note 2 on 4.3 my I want this rom to work on my phone what would be the steps to have this today
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ozo012:
I'd make a backup, then do your usual wipes and flash the ROM, I didn't update my radio to ND7 and I have no issues on this ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JeramyEggs:
Finally got around to enabling scheduled messages. I would back up your original, but it works nicely for me. Just overwrite original in system/priv-app/, and fix permissions, and reboot. If your messages app crashes, restore original. Enjoy

Edit

Hey guys, I am on 3.0 s5 port, and my lockscreen animations reset every time I reboot. What app controls this as I want to try wiping the data to fix it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jorden7491:
How do you install this rom? Step by step

I'm on a i605 note 2 "Verizon" and on version 4.3 I have a rooted phone and the rom I'm using is n3bula I installed n3bula with safestrap 3.71 but I'm having a hard time installing this one
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] viper31573:
if i remember correctly, this ROM, is only for phones with an unlocked bootloader. not compatible with safestrap. i could be wrong though
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jorden7491:
Maybe but I have installed roms with a lock boot with safestrap 3.71 using a i605 Verizon note 2. All Ice done to install previous roms with a lock booted phone was unzip the rom file and delete the boot.img file and then edited the binary script with a text file edit. I would delete any character that says install kernel or boot.img but I'm not sure if it would work with this one because I've tried it and got sick at a boot loop. I'm wondering if anyone knows why
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fkfmfz:
Because your stock kernel is not for 7105 but for i605. Since this is a port you have to flash the kernel which you can't with safestrap. The only ROMs that would work need to be able to boot using your stock kernel. Mj9 or nd7.

Tried Alliance Rom Build28 and didn't like it. Could not get customizations like I wanted. Wondering if an update or other features to R3Ds is in the works? Not asking for an ETA, though. I'm quite happy with v3.5.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dkool1:
Did not like the stock broswer in this ROM. Loaded Chrome, but I could not access company WiFi. I loaded Dolphin Browser and I'm able to use company WiFi. There is a guest sign-in and firewall, but only have trouble using Chrome and WiFi. Anybody else experience problems using Chrome with WiFi. I have no problems with Chrome using LTE data or WiFi at the house. Strange..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] broexist:
Can't get gps to work.. I've tried many different methods. Should I switch roms?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dms76:
I do not use this rom but i've read on many occasions you should flash a TW rom, obtain a GPS lock with say google maps and than reflash this rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] viper31573:
Been trying for quite a while now to download black dialer. It fails every time for over a month now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] broexist:
Is this not a tw rom? And I'm locking now.. it loses the lock sometimes but then gets it right back
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dms76:
No your right I'm thinking ASOP fix anyways, my bad!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hllby666:
I am trying to use the popup dictionary feature. When I click the dictionary button it opens dictionary app and tells me to download dictionary. The problem is dictionary always fails to download. Please help! See Screenshot. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] broexist:
I need a hand here.. this rom had no GPS when I first started using it. After I finally fixed that, I had no 4g. Only 3g. All attempts to get my 4g working failed.. so I used Odin to go back to stock KK figuring that would get my radio back, but that didn't work. Now no matter what rom or android version I run my note 2 has only 3g. At a loss, what happened?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaveKnowsAll:
My advice, move with la18 to the the Alliance ROM Build 28. GPS issues never got solved here for me, but that ROM has been great from day one, and gps works.

root on 4.4.3 ND7

is it possible to root my note 2 when i'm on 4.4.3 with nd7? if not can I downgrade to root? I really want this rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rolfsted:
I haven't flashed a rom for almost two years. I went looking at the note 4 but Verizon wants to cut out unlimited unless you buy the phone outright. Shelling out $700 just seemed rediculous. But then I saw the video from zedomax and gave it a shot. WOW my note II is like a new phone. Take that Verizon. I'll wait until someone takes their note 4 back and I'll buy it refurbished for $199.

Great job! Awesome rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dkool1:
When trying to use the camera to take a sslfie, I get an error massage saying camera failed. I downloaded google camera and it won't connect. I'm running stock kernel. Any help will be appreciated.

So I have a problem... I just installed this rom, installed the 3.5 update, and all seemed to work swimmingly... until tonight, when I tried to answer a phone call, to find that I don't seem to have the phone apk on the phone anymore. Help!!!!

EDIT: Never mind. Dirty flashed 3.0 back over and got my phone back. Whew!

404 for this file (and others)

I just updated to this ROM from N3BULA 3.9 and am trying to get it set up.

When I try to d/l this, I get a 404. I've also tried to d/l various mods such as the S5 TouchWiz Home 5x5 and 5x6 from within N3BULA Extras, and I also get 404's on those. Are these files available elsewhere?

Thanks!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] glockman4519:
You sir are awesome. As soon as I can get to a Wi-Fi source I will be downloading and giving this a go. I was hoping someone was working on a touchwiz update.

Sweet!

Hey Frankie, Thanks for the update. I've been running a Lollipop ROM recently, and just hated it, so a few weeks ago I went full circle back to 3.5 of this ROM. It just works so well. Imagine my surprise when I see that you gave us an update! :)

Do you have a list of what apps are removed in the debloat version? Trying to decide on which to move over to.

Thanks again for your work on this ROM! It's been smooth sailing and a joy to use.

Eric
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] momule:
Did you have to odin back from lollipop. I tried to switch back to the latest release and it would just hang at the verizon boot animation. I like lollipop features but also miss the action commands and so on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bill Idol:
I just go to recovery, wipe data/cache/dalvik cache and then flash rom.:D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] viper31573:
Flashing the Ota update seems to break everything inverted

---------- Post added at 12:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:59 AM ----------

Well I guess not everything. Just hangouts seems to not be inverted
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ekeppel:
No, I just did the usual wipe before flashing in recovery (using latest TWRP currently). If I remember correctly, I did format internal storage just to be sure it would be a nice clean install.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] viper31573:
does anyone else experience inverted colors breaking when flashing 4.2 ota? im clean flashing for 3rd time today. this time im not planning to flash the ota

---------- Post added at 08:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:28 PM ----------

figured it out. its not the OTA. its the update to t he app that is breaking it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bill Idol:
How is it an OTA when the rom is already on 4.4.2?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dms76:
How do you get the GPS to lock? I just sit at 0/0 satellites and never get a lock!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
If you have 0/0 it's because the gps in this rom is not verizon compatible with our gps built into some of our devices, you will probably never get it working, none of the fixes worked that i tried.

Some were lucky, i would suggest moving to a different rom if it is important to you, and if the dev used the ota from verizon there would no longer be a gps lock issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] HueyT:
Is this rom SafeStrap compatible as it's now 4.4.2 just like 4.4.2 stock?

---------- Post added at 06:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:18 PM ----------

SafeStrap compatible for 4.4.2 i605 Verizon?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] HueyT:
It's not SafeStrap compatible as it's not a true ND7 rom. It's a port from N7105.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] audiophizile:
Are you sure about this? In the OP it states "N7105 4.4.2 Port w/ Verizon ND7". If this uses the ND7 kernel it should be safestrap-able I thought?

I'm still using my Note 2 even though I've been due for an upgrade since Feb. Longest I've ever waited but nothing out there blows me away. Probably wait to see if Sony comes out with a phone as I want waterproof or hold off for the next nexus.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] HueyT:
In general, port is not compatible as true ND7. Only way to truly know is to try and if it bootloop then u have to Odin back to stock. See this post from the dev of this rom: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=56118161&postcount=493
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fkfmfz:
For those that wanted a nd7 build...use philz recovery.

https://mega.co.nz/#!ks0ywZKY!43k3ce4gADxRSl-ACPOXLZgcH5rhQr-B0mk6Km-6jdM

You can use the same black patch from OP for contacts/incallui/multiwindow.

Hope this fixes the GPS issues some are having on the port build.

Galaxy Note 2 4.4.2

I have a question. I purchased a Galaxy Note 2 from Ebay and it had 4.4.2 installed. I have been trying to root it and I havent been successful. Does anyone here know how to root the Note 2 I605 Verizon with the Kitkat OTA installed? Please and I need your help friends.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fkfmfz:
You need ghettoroot v3.2 to root nd7. Also you will need safestrap if you going to flash custom rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] HueyT:
Thank you, thank you, thank you. ND7 roms is as rare as Verizon letting you upgrade early :) :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
I still had GPS problems, a strange luck seen issue where the touch wasn't working until u turned the screen off and on again.

No worries though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fkfmfz:
Im lost on the gps issue, that rom is nd7 from kasey build 3....

you on safestrap?

im on that rom and i even try waze and it works and locks fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
I'm not safestrap, when I got my phone it had 4.1.2 I believe and I rooted like a month later lol, already flashed the mj9 a long time ago and I didn't flash the nd7 radio from the stock, but it works with or without.

So I'm not sure why it worked for about 2 minutes and lost GPS.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] HueyT:
I'm on SS and ND7 rom works great xcept GPS which kinda works with very slow locking despite AGPS injection using Leo's AGPS injection app and/or GPS Test app from Play Store. I even tried custom gps.conf file placed into /system/etc. Overall though, it's a great rom:good:

Edit: interesting that WAZE does work but Google Maps doesn't for GPS on this ROM
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
I thought about trying waze, I tried gps fix and it sat there with 0 connections, the Ota version of 4.4.2 is being a brat too, think I flashed a different one than before.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] viper31573:
any chance someone has an answer to this? i just came back to this rom. when i remove updates everything is black as normal, but they keep updating again on their own, even though i have auto updates shut off

---------- Post added at 03:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:51 PM ----------

actually the setting on whether to update apps or not keeps going back to update over wifi on its own
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
Try clearing the cache for play store and then disable auto update again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] viper31573:
it seems to be sticking now, though play store itself keeps updating even after i remove updates. ive also switched back to the full rom as i was unable to update sns provider on the debloated rom because samsung apps wasnt available
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fkfmfz:
go here and grab the tbo updater http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2283828 and you can update your google black apps from there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] viper31573:
When updating a system app do I need to use a system app remover to remove the app 1st? Just as I would with any other app? I just want to ask before removing play store from my phone

---------- Post added at 12:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:16 PM ----------

Never mind it worked without removing the system app
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
Usually when you update a system app, unless you flash it, it installs to the data folder and there is no reason to delete before installing unless you are overwriting that file and then you need to match permissions or it will not open.

Hey fkfmfz or anyone i have a question about this rom its on my wife note 2.

How do I get it to back to 3g it's on 4g and works fine but l like to drop it back to save data?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
Haven't used a stock based rom in a long time. Here's what I found on Google. If the instructions don't working exactly like that they should be similar.

Find "Network mode"

Slide your finger down the display starting from the top edge of your phone.

Press*the settings icon.

Press the*Connections*tab.

Press*More networks.

Press*Mobile networks.

Press*Network mode.

Select network mode

Press*LTE/GSM/WCDMA (auto connect),*GSM/WCDMA (auto connect),*GSM only*or*WCDMA only.

3G (UMTS) or 4G (LTE) enables you to achieve higher data speeds than when using 2G (GSM).

If you select*LTE/GSM/WCDMA (auto connect), your phone automatically switches between the three network modes provided that you're within range of a 4G network.

If you select*GSM/WCDMA (auto connect), your phone automatically switches between the two network modes provided that you're within range of a 3G network.

If you select*GSM only, you can't achieve high data speeds.

If you select*WCDMA only, your phone can only connect to 3G networks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Robin Son:
Thanks for looking into it for me but that didn't help.:(

It has (1) LTE / CDMA (2) GSM / UMTS or (3) Global.

When using 1 and 3 i'm back on 4g and 2 nothing on the i605 but

you already would know that.

Just flashed this rom after my xposed stock rom started slowing down and Dn3 started randomly rebooting. So far so good but I did have to apply the wifi fix to get wifi and tethering working. Since we cant flash kernels because of the locked ill post the wifi fix here.

Be sure you are rooted.

download the Alliance Rom

open the alliance archive and go to system folder

go to the files at the bottom that are NOT in a folder

copy everything EXCEPT buildprop to a new folder

transfer folder to note 2

copy/overwrite those files to /system folder in the root of the phone

Reboot and enjoy!
