Don't forget to read user guide from post #2 of v10 thread. Because you have chosen your first rom is one of known for its aroma complexity. Lol.

But if you read every words of user guide you may need not to ask anything.
[Galaxy Note II General] georg3003:
Did this already.

Wow, is that really sure? Unbelievable. Do "we know" why this is so? Is it a Bug?

and this is then knox enabled?

Thanks

---------- Post added at 10:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:08 PM ----------

Where can i read something about Aroma? Or tell me shortly what it is exactly? I saw its some kind of configuring the V10 before Flashing. I saw the Film.

But be sure before flashing i will read everything twice until i know what i am doing.

Thats my intention.

Thanks Doc

George
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
Aroma is a wizard which give you option to select or deselect stuff according your needs while you flash rom. User guide have almost everything explained with screenshot including options available in aroma. Just go through it and everything should be fine.

FIrst custom rom

hello guys; I'm new to the mod world; this is my first rom, and thanks to the guide written by Dr ketan I installed this wonderful rom a few days ago ..All perfect, the rom is smooth and responsive and works very very well. :laugh:

Thank you very much dr ketan for the great job done. :D

I wanted to ask just one question: in AROMA I left almost all standard; and now I have the classic toggles of note 2, without the icon of upsm, and functions of note 3 to the screen; how can I add these links in the dropdown menu? also between apps, I do not find S finder classic, and sketch book .. where can I find them?

Again many thanks dr ketan !!:good::good:

Various questions

Dear Dr. Ketan,

Firstly thank you for this great topic. I have several questions if you don't mind:

- after clean install, TB always asks if I need to restore previous phone ID. Should I answer yes?

- Does your utilities work on CM Roms; specifically the issue of fixing data before restore by TB.

- Finally, in TWRP, there is Fix Permissions. What are the conditions you recommend to use this feature? please be specific because I have been unable to understand from other posts.

Thanks in advance.

---------- Post added at 11:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 AM ----------

1. TB should not ask you about 'restore previous phone ID'..it'll ask if you only make a dirty flash.

2. His utility V1 is universal..don't use later versions (e.g. V1.8) these are only for his rom.

3. Never used this fix feature in TWRP :P
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
In fact It should ask only after clean install because after formating android device creates new ID everytime.

So when backup having old ID and TB detects new ID it will ask to restore old/Keep new.

Some application have linked to this ID (so far i have found is opera old version, May be yahoo mail) and if you restore previous ID then it will work straghtway otherwise it will fail to login.

So no much worry about this option and I prefer to keep new ID and if any restored app fail to login, i have to enter credential one time.
[Galaxy Note II General] mithundperfect:
Till today after a clean flash I install TB.apk (I've a backup in my sd card) and it never asked me about new id etc etc..and yes 2-3 times asked but after dirty flash.
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
You have Auto tb sync enabled? May be it can be due to this. I keep it enabled and everytime it asking after clean install just after granting super su.
[Galaxy Note II General] Shanu23:

[Galaxy Note II General] kamalayan:
Noob posting. I've read through the posts and picked up a lot from it. Just that I was running Dr. Ketans V10 and flashed the 3minit zip update and afterwhich got stuck in the samsung logo. Using TWRP, i restored a back up but had the same issue. Even re-installed the rom after wipes and resets but have been stuck at the samsung logo. Any guidance is appreciated.

(Sorry if this does not fit the topic, I've still not broken the 10post requirement, reason why i cant post in the android development thread of the said rom.)
[Galaxy Note II General] wahyu91:
once it happened to me too and the reason was old version of philz touch !
[Galaxy Note II General] kamalayan:
I may not be able to give that a try since I can only access TWRP from recovery. You must have been able to restore a previous back up, right? Mine is stuck however I install whichever. Clean or back up. Im nowhere near my home PC right now (Office) and have no access to ODIN but Im betting that'd resolve all this.
[Galaxy Note II General] mithundperfect:
What's your twrp version..is it newer version..?
[Galaxy Note II General] kamalayan:
Im thinking it is the latest one, straight off PlayStore. (Also have auto update enabled.)

EDIT: TWRP v2.4.4.0
[Galaxy Note II General] alok_dhawal:
But as suggested by you in your guide, and I have kept schedule of backing up every night... does it not back up new chats automatically?
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
That depends on your application how does it stores data. Simply backup - Uninstall app - restore app+data. If it restores chat then it making backup otherwise not.

Hi to all,

Thanks for all information,

but only for understanding.

If i have Bootloader mj5 installed with V10. Offlinecharging is not working. What if my Battery is empty? And i canoot switch on the phone for loading the Battery? What do I have to do then?

Thanks for clarifying.

George
[Galaxy Note II General] 8thphloor:
you don't need to switch on the phone to start chargin'. when you connect your device powered off to cable it simply turns on. this is the "no offline charge" side effect you describe.

One question doc..to install the v11 i only have to wipe all data and then i flash the rom like a new rom..with aroma and other options?
[Galaxy Note II General] georg3003:
I think it's no difference in installing V11 and V10.
[Galaxy Note II General] mithundperfect:
1. mj5 (or newer) bl is required for kitkat roms otherwise you may face bootloop.

2. Yes you cab if you're on MJ5 (it's not knoxed).
[Galaxy Note II General] georg3003:
Hello.

I tried yesterday flashing V11. But entered somehow into bootloop.

What did i wrong?

I did the following:

1. updated to BL mj5. That worked. Old 412 System was ok booting starting everything.

2. Entered phils correct version. wipe like described in manual 8.1 took some time.Started drketan util did some modifs and at the end when rebooting only first pic (logo) of boot. For 10 Minuts waited then switched off.

3. Tried again drketan v11 configuring util, but its freezing. Even do no mod its freezing even no mods and ... no start because freezed.

4. Put back my recovery plus last things with TB everything seems to work i mean my old System.

Can somebody tell me how to try again?

Thanks George

Philz Recovery Not installing in ODIN Mode

Doc,

I'm on FNI1 unrooted. I tried installing Philz using ODIN v3.07 and v3.09 with Philz 15.8 and latest tar file... but after flashing, I still have stock recovery. I tried both methods(checking and unchecking autoreboot).. still its a no go...my knox status is 0X1 now..

Can you please help to install the recovery:(

I don't think that's necessary. I believe you can just follow Dr Ketan's indications straight away.

Anyway, remember you can always reverse back since you backup everything before installing new rom...

I tried it both on download mode or normal mode. Device is not detected to my pc or laptop.

Any suggestion?

Greetings everyone

I'm new to samsung. I had a moto g. And there the drill was. Unlocking the boot loader, flashing custom recovery and then installing a rom. But browsing the threads here i am confused. Where should I start. I have a note 2 GT7100 (India) no carrier. With 4.4.2 installed. I wantbto install a 5.x.x custom rom. Please help. I beg
[Galaxy Note II General] HluscuAndrei:
Help !!

My n7100 suddenly restarted and then it got stuck on Samsung Galaxy screen. As i had TWRP installed on it i went ahead and wiped cache,and everything else,and i tried flashing the stock rom. But it kept giving me errors,and i coudnt do anything. Then tried another rom (Android Revolution HD) with Odin. Everything worked fine,till the phone got to Welcome to your new Samsung screen and then when i unplugged the usb cable,BUF samsung logo again !! Put the phone back into Odin,installed CWM with no worries,as soon as i unplug the usb cable BAM again Samsung screen. Anyway. I managed to get into CWM and install the Android Revolution HD Rom again (But now i did not had the usb cable to my laptop as i had it plugged into a socket to charge faster). I continued to setup the phone,did everything spent over 30 mins on it,and then i unplugged the charger cus i wanted to pop a sim in (I was so happy that finally i got it working). IN THE SECOND I TOOK THE CHARGER OUT OF THE MICRO USB PORT,THE PHONE AGAIN showed the same Samsung Logo Screen,and got into a bootloop (Same old bootloop Samsung Galaxy Note 2 for 35-40 secs,screen flashes,and again the same).

What is wrong here ? Where is the problem ? What happened ? As i cant pinpoint the exact problem.

It has a new custom Rom installed fine on it,it used to work as a dream before (Never had any problems with it) And now... Allofa sudden without anything interfearing...didnt even touched it.

[Galaxy Note II General] razorg:
Hi everyone! I have a question, and sorry in advance as this might be a stupidly amateur question. A friend of mine came to me with her Note 2 N7100 bought from Three UK on contract. She says the SIM contract is already over and she got the SIM lock broken. But the firmware on the device is fiddled by Three, so there are Three logo animations instead of Samsung while booting etc etc. The device is stuck on Android 4.1.2 and she says whenever she tried to update it for the past years, the update process was always interrupted by the device and can not continue, neither OTA or via Kies. I had the international United Kingdom BTU rom (4.4.2) and wanted to flash it with Odin but when I saw all those Three additions etc I didn't carry on with the BTU rom. Would that cause any incompatibility problems etc etc? She no longer uses it with a Three SIM card so should I download and use the H3G rom despite this? Would BTU rom be better, which does not have the bloat done by Three UK? Would the device have any problems?

Humble suggestion

Hi Dr. Ketan, this is a very good how to for n beginners.

OT: When I owned a N7105 I used to have a look at your roms for N7100 and appreciated a lot your work, always very polished. I have been apart from modding for almost one year, but I will try your N5 rom port asap.

Back to topic: first thing, I think you could ask a mod to 'pin' your thread on to the top of the section, so that people can easily find it: now it's somehow hidden and you've got tp scroll the entire section to reach it, so it runs the risk of being useless, since an user who has just bought a note 4 won't very likely see this thread.

Second thing, it seems that nobody cares about people who don't want or cannot use windows and there is no reference to Heimdall, which works even better than Odin. I spent a little time to compile it from sources and wrote down a short how to in the general section. It's for Ubuntu 14:04, but should work with minimal adjustment for any linux distro which is up to date.

Imho, when a total noob comes the first time to this forum, he should immediately find your exhaustive how to and a link or a reference to the fact that windows is not the only option to root and flashing firmwares, bootloader, kernels and so on. So, if you do agree, feel free to copy and paste where you prefer my how to or to put somewhere a link.

BTW, Heimdall is open source, would it be fair if I should create a deb and attach it to my thread? Is it against any rule?

Thanks:)
