So was there post somewhere for this, showing how to get the screen rotation working for the home screen and lock screens? I found these few posts but nothing else yet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DarkAngel:
Couple of post more....

If you rather, just decompile both System APK's and compare the settings. Check for the bools and if I recall there is a difference in one of the smali for the Launcher rotations but I believe that is in the Launcher APK.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] SpikeOhio:
I don't suppose there are going to be any patches for the Stagefreight exploit on this ROM???
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwilco12:
I don't plan on one at this time. Samsung hasn't released an update and I no longer have ever phone to test any updates.

There are however several third party apps that have patches built into the app that you can use as a replacement for the stock messaging app (I'm using Textra on my S5).

Sorry!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwilco12:
If you see a fix posted elsewhere let me know and I'll do what I can but I can't make any promises.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ind3lible:
Awesome rom! Thank you! I have a question though, is it possible to get the pen window from the Note 3 on our sprint phones?

Thank you!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] leenhia:
Why does my Google Navi lag?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] SpikeOhio:
Any chance this will help? It has a link for patches but I don't know enough to know if they can just be installed/flashed to any phone. And if they do have a patch and a detector app, then why can't they have the app do the patch?

https://blog.zimperium.com/stagefright-vulnerability-details-stagefright-detector-tool-released/
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tx_dbs_tx:
Short answer, no this will not help. The patches will be device specific. Theoretically the detector app "could" also be used to patch devices but it's not practical because the app developer would have to have a close relationship with google and all of the manufacturers and include these patches in the app via their servers. the app would be quite large by the time is was updated to include this type of features. It's best to wait for Google, Samsung and your carrier to push out the updates that include the patches. From what I've read, the initial patches are still not 100% effective so they're still working on this problem.

In the meantime you can just disable the option called “auto retrieve MMS” in your messaging app(s). That should stop any videos from auto downloading & playing. This in turn will stop the malicious code from executing. Another thing to remember is IF the mms you recieve is a "forwarded" type mms with an imbedded video then I would delete it immediately without opening it. If you get a video directly from a friend or family member that you KNOW they took themselves then I would say it's probably safe to download and watch. Just use this approach folks and you will be fine. Last thing, I would recommend Bitdefender and you can get it from Google Play.

Can anyone tell me what kernels I can use with this rom that will give me more over clocking and governor options. If anyone has a list of compatible kernels and can make some recommendations I'd appreciate it. Thanks for any help.

Also does anyone have a fix for the charging while phone is off bug? Can a different kernel fix that issue? Thanks again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] itrs:
I was trying out another rom last night and that didn't go so well so I decided to give this one a try.

I did go through some trial and error so I ended up flashing this rom three times.

(I updated the android system upgrade and updated the su binaries. Which if you read through some post causes problems.)

So I played around with how to hide the upgrade notifications for android an su and eventually this morning I got it up and it's running quite nice.

I'll keep playing with this and do appreciate the developer for a good job on this rom.

[MENTION=4513677]rwilco12[/MENTION]

It's absolutely disgusting what you did with your site. There are more ads than a porn site. I can't even download your rom without participating in one of these shady ads.

You Sir have lost major cred with me and I hope with whoever else reads this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwilco12:
[MENTION=3418701]caesar_[/MENTION], first and most importantly thank you for bringing your concerns to my attention. I assure you that whatever you're experiencing is not the way the site is meant to be! We only have a limited amount of ads running to ensure that our users have the best experience possible, there are three Google ads and then several in line text ads from Infolinks. There should be no ads that require downloads or that you would need to click on in order to download anything from our site. I have looked at the site and the download links for this ROM and can find no ads preventing download of the ROM. If you would be so kind as to send me some screenshots or additional details I will troubleshoot to see what is happening and fix the issue.

In the meantime you can get the ROM directly from here. http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.p...)/Custom ROMs/Rwilco12's Mostly Stock NE2/ZIP

Is there going to be an update to this rom any time soon to address the stagefright and certifigate vulnerabilities among other security issues (and quirks in the rom itself)? If not please let us know.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwilco12:
I don't have any plans to do any major updates at this point. My Note 2 was repurposed as my wife's primary phone when her old phone started dying on her. I've set her up with my ROM and she's not had any complaints. Neither she nor I am aware of any "quirks" that need fixing, but if there's something you've found post about it here and we'll see what we can do.

As for Stagefright and Certifigate? My hands are kind of tied there. Samsung has not released any fixes that I have been able to implement on the Note 2 (not for lack of trying). However, I don't believe it to be a huge issue. Stagefright definitely has some hype behind it but there are no known instances of it being used in either it's original form or it's latest version. My recommendation would be to use a third party messaging app like Textra. Even before Stagefright it was my favorite messaging app and it has a fix for Stagefright 1.0 included in it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] AUseName:
Mainly the issue with any attempt to update the su binary breaking root entirely. There is also an OTA update that was pushed a few weeks ago to address the stagefright issues. (See also here a firmware update available directly from samsung).

Edit: I'll also give Textra a go, it looks interesting. Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwilco12:
If I remember right the issue with su binary is something that affects all Note 2 ROMs on NE2. Chaz, myself and a few other guys tried to figure it out but were unable to.

I was unaware of the fix from Samsung so thank you for sharing that! I won't be able to do it right away but I'll see about the possibility of porting over the previous ROM changes to the new build.

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] AUseName:
Here's hoping :p
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] AUseName:
I know you said you might not be able to get to this but any updates?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwilco12:
I unfortunately haven't been able to. My wife has commandeered my Note 2 and I'm not allowed to flash anything to it. :(

If someone has a spare Note 2 they want to send me as a loaner I'd be happy to work on it but I don't have a way to right now. Sorry!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] AUseName:
Hah oh well. I'd send mine but I kinda need it :p.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Nintengod:
I keep losing root on this ROM and I don't know why.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] AUseName:
Don't update SuperSU.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ColeTrain!:
So who is still running this and happy? My phone is stinking. I need to try something.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwilco12:
Me! :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ColeTrain!:
I downloaded last night. I used to flash ROMs while driving. (Joke) but its been so long I will devote my full attention and see if I remember how this weekend.

I saw that this was some of the base from Chaz, I do remember that genrea of ROM's working well.

I was going to fly through the thread to refresh as well. Don't update super SU. But I need to remember how to get that alert to go away. Don't want that bugging me either.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] kchannel9:
Thanks for this ROM, it was the one I liked most before I sold my Note 2.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] madrilenyo93:
Coletrain! did you find out how to get that binary update alert to go away? Thing is bugging me too!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ColeTrain!:
Well, I got lazy and I am still on beanstalk. The binary thing started bugging me a couple weeks ago, and I just finnaly updated it. No problems.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] madrilenyo93:
Oh, OK, thanks....so you didn't lose root when you updated?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ColeTrain!:
I did not, but I am not on this ROM, so I guess I'd hope someone else chimes in.

Sorry.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] madrilenyo93:
Thanks! I just turned off su superuser's notifications in Settings/Application Manager

ne2 to nk2 update not flashing

Rwilco12, I downloaded the ne2 to nk2 update zip from Rwilco12's Android files website, and tried flashing with philz, but it failed 4 times. I tried flashing without wiping, with wiping for a clean install, after updating baseband to ne2.

Got this log message in Philz v6.0.4.5:

Installing update...

file_getprop: failed to stat "/system/build.prop" No such file or directory

E: Error in /data/media/0/8b7bed7b....zip

Could you please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwilco12:
For future reference - generally a Status 7 error is either a bad download or a badly formatted update script. Lucky you, you caught a Status 7 on what is about the only other way to get one, you were flashing a stock OTA ZIP over a custom ROM. When flashing a stock OTA ZIP manually it needs to be done through stock recovery and the phone needs to be 100% stock. The ZIP checks to see if everything is stock prior to flashing to prevent bricks.

To get to NK2 (or any other 100% stock ROM) you will need to flash it via Odin.

Sorry!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] madrilenyo93:
hahah, oh boy...my ignorance knows no bounds...you see, I thought that by flashing your OTA update, I was merely updating your ROM with whatever new elements came with the update. I didn't realize that updates actually are like flashing a new ROM, in this case a stock ROM. Sorry, my reach far extends my grasp of these concepts.

In any case, again, thank you for the ROM - my wonderful Note 4 shorted out from a dunk in the toilet, and so I had to resurrect my old Note 2, which is a far more likeable tool with your ROM on it.

Thanks again, and BTW, your website is as complete and helpful as any I have ever seen regarding this topic. You have everything you could need, all in one place. XDA is obviously wonderful, but it is more of a library of resources and references, whereas your site is a unified encyclopedia.. It is a true, one-stop-shop. THANK YOU RWilco!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Razor512:
Is there any way to get rid of the notification for android system update?

Also, is anyone getting the occasional random reboot?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tx_dbs_tx:
Correct. You won't get charged for it BUT you need to fully undersnd that bypassing the "pay service" is something that can violate your term & conditions as well as get your service terminated. Basically you use it at your own risk. Just don't abuse it and you should be fine. Keep in mind there's always the chance of getting a letter from Sprint at the very least. Worst case scenario its theft of service. Use your own judgement.

Long Press Menu - Google Now

Great rom, I was wondering if anyone knows how to fix or re-enable the long press menu button that used to open google now? In the stock restore, this function works. Thx!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwilco12:
What do you mean "fix"? :P I like it the way that it is now! I'll have to see if I can throw it in there but it may be a while before I get it posted. Sorry!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] XPinochitoX:
First of all not a big fan of stock look but, something about this rom caught my attention and completely changed my look toward stock-look. This rom is my new daily driver thanks rwilco12!! Outstanding work!!

Only one question is there any way to change the rwilco12 at the bottom of the dropdown
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chaz187:
to change the rwilco12 you will need to decompile systemui and change the smali to what ever you want.

thanks chaz187
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] coolwater22:
Yes u can..make sure u have Xposed, then install Wanam toolkit module(requires you to activate module after install then reboot). Open Wanam, then click notification panel--> scroll down to carrier. Click on Hide carrier and then reboot. All done.. :).

You can also make it say watver u want.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tx_dbs_tx:
I personally don't like to use Xposed modules due to issues it causes. I will extract the small code this evening and change it Sprint or make it blank. I will post the edited SystemUI.apk for this ROM when I get it done. I'm currently on this ROM and this was next on my To Do list anyway. If you want your name on the pull down handle tell me now.You will need to know how to unzip, replace the file and rezip .. then reflash the rom. If you can't or don't want to do this then Xposed is your next best option as stated above.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] wondabwoy:
^_^ ha "fix" lol my bad you right, but really though thx a million for a really great stable rom, and no rush on that long press menu :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwilco12:
Thank you for the help and support! If you do make anything I can put it up in the Updater so feel free to send it my way. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tx_dbs_tx:
Thanks. This has been my daily use ROM since you released it. I like everything you did with it. as for the SystemUI.apk, I have already edited the smali code and put my name on the notification pull down handle but I also have two more versions ready... One is stock "Sprint" and the other is blank. They are already zip-aligned as well. I'm sure you could do this just as well but if you want I will post them or PM them to you. Let me know. Thanks again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] SASQUATCH:
Tried xposed to change the name in drop down but nothing happens.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwilco12:
I'm glad to hear you're enjoying it! Hopefully you'll like the updates I'm working on. :)

Feel free to post anything in the thread here. Everyone is welcome to contribute! If I see it and have time I'll add it to the Updater.

Thank you again for your support!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwilco12:
It may have something to do with the way I edited the smali. Xposed is looking for the normal values to turn them off whereas my method changed the code to get it to read rwilco12 rather than the carrier name.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tx_dbs_tx:
Notification drawer handle text back to "Sprint"

I saw how you did it (along with several other things). You actually added a line to make it persistent regardless of network status and I like that.

For anybody who would rather have the original "Sprint" at the bottom of the drop down notification handle here is my modified SystemUI.apk for this ROM RW 1.0. (THIS ROM ONLY!) The ONLY thing changed was the smali code to revert the notification drawer handle text to "Sprint" instead of "rwilco12". It will function as original stock ROM does. First rename the attached apk to SystemUI.apk then paste it inside system/priv-app folder replaceing the one currently inside the priv-app folder. There are a few ways to accomplish this but I will let somebody else give those instructions for those who are unsure. I will also be posting a blank text version later.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tx_dbs_tx:
Rwilco12 is right. He made some unconventional changes to the smali code that Xposed tweaks does not touch. No worries. I did you guys a favor above. I have to say that Rwilco you have some tricks up your sleeves and I really don't know what all you've done but I like the ROM and how it performs. I only had to tweak a couple of personal preference items to my liking and close the hood! Thanks for sharing your work!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DarkAngel:
I am loving this Rom as well and use it as a daily. I hope it was okay with you Rwilco but I also modded a few things for my daily as well. I added and swapped a few things myself:

1. Lock Screen Rotation

2. Flashlight Toggle

3. S5 Launcher with all Available settings ( Pull Up, Theming, Magazine - although I don't use Magazine / used this launcher because I liked it's folders more )

I do a lot of night driving and use my N2 as a HUD and want/need it to Rotate. I wish I could make the actual Launcher rotate as well, would ease my driving. If you would like my SystemUI and SecSettings apk's they are all yours.

.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
There are modified launchers that have rotation enabled. Best place to find them are on the dn3 threads on xda (google xda dn3). Not had a chance to try them yet but the pics look good,
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DarkAngel:
Thank you jlmancuso. I had previously posted on a thread by member Cocolopes about his S5 launcher mods and how he achieved rotation but am still waiting for him to get back. I had not seen or heard about the DN3 Rom from E-Team.

edit: ---------------------------

I think I may have found where to look and modify. I totally overlooked the post.......

.

Okay, got it sorted out. I have now full rotation on Lock Screen & TW Launcher. Modded the line I needed to and walla.

This is cool. Thank you again jlmancuso for the nudge in the right direction. I had literally overlooked a post I had skimmed over.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwilco12:
No offense taken! Like I said earlier, i built the ROM the way I wanted it but it isn't going to be 100% of what everyone wants. Feel free to customize, tweak, modify, etc. And don't forget to post your work and share it! We are a community and sharing is how we get it right. :)

I think you did a great job with this rom. I only have one question ...how do I take screen shots? Every once in a while a screen shot will take and I don't know how I'm doing it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] guycan:
Screen shot are either by the spen or by swiping ur palm from right to left takes a screen shot

Well..it doesn't seem to be by swiping my Palm right to left. Please tell me what you mean by "spen"?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bossog:
Long press home AND power buttons at the same time.

I have the option checked. .but it doesn't work for me. The spen option..that works.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] hondafreak513:
Your Palm has to be touching the screen. And I think it has to go right to left. I've tried it before and worked.

I simply reflashed supersu 2.2 in recovery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] daveo24:
What is super super 2.2?

I believe he meant SuperSU by [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION]. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] daveo24:
Ah! Thanks rwilco. I guess I will have to Google that apk to install it. This is a really great rom tho. It will become my daily driver. Keep up the hard work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] kcohen67:
Yea. .that was my phone auto correcting me..LOL
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] godvstheking:
I did some googling and must not be asking it the right question cause I cant find an answer so here I am. I love this ROM besides the dialer lag but my phone announces the names of who is calling whenever I have an incoming call and I can't seem to find how to disable it. Can someone help me please and thank you!

*edit*

Never mind I am an idiot fixed it myself.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tx_dbs_tx:
I believe you can find SuperSU in the Google Play Store and upgrade it from there if needed. Typically you don't have to mess with super user app that is included in a rom. Take Note of which super user app is currently installed on your given ROM and use that same one. I never have issues losing root on any of these ROMS. If it works out of the box I usually never upgrade the superuser app in the play store because there's a chance it could goof up and my theory is if it works, leave it alone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] daveo24:
Man I agree with you 100% However when I installed supersu I got an this error message.
