Looks Great

Downloading now
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] onlychevys:
This is a great rom! I've been away from a computer that is able to compile from source for a while, but now I'm back in business. I would love to help If I can.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] melqui2004:
It works for me
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] xxjabberwockxx:
For videos try this:

Go to System Settings.

Go to About Phone.

Scroll down to Build number and tap it several times (I think it's 7 total). It will tell you when you enable Developer Options.

Once enabled, continue with the workaround...

In the Settings screen, go to Developer options.

Scroll down to Disable HW overlays and turn it on (to use GPU for screen compositing).

It resets on reboot though.

For Netflix, sometimes Netflix requires a reboot, but it does work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chevymanusa:
Netflix has been working about 20% of the time for me, although I haven't been trying the previous method lately.

Does anyone know of an automated way for the above to be done after a reboot. Is it possible that the rom could have an option for this and after a reboot it would be applied? Or possibly a third-party application, such as tasker that could automate those steps?

Thanks in advance!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] xxjabberwockxx:
That is the million dollar question for devs :) It seems like it's only for us Note2 users though. *sigh*
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jaibar:
There is an xposed framework module that does exactly this function. However, I haven't used xposed on T889 since KK, so I don't know if the module is compatible with L.

It is called "NoMoreOverlay", and there is a compatibility list thread.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chevymanusa:
As far as I know, and the last time I tried, exposed does not run on most non-stock roms.

But thanks for the tip, I might have to look into seeing if it will work. Thanks again!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] EdKeys:
Try converting the Netflix app to a system app and rebooting to see if that changes its behavior.

Im still on 4.3 JB can i flashed this and wipe all and format internal sd card?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] cooldude_world:
Thanks a lot...is Wi-Fi calling enabled on this build
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jaibar:
It's nice to give thanks, but there's no need to quote entire OP just to say that- lots of users browse xda from mobile devices and your thanks giving post causes an endless scrolling experience.

Better use the "thanks" button, and if you feel that you must also quote OP to express your gratitude, at least edit it and make it slimmer- 90% of the OP is not really required for "thank yous" (FAQ, links etc.), or put part of it in "spoiler" or something, or just say thanks without quoting..

Thanks.

Ugh.

To answer your question, WiFi calling is ONLY available on TouchWiz ROMs. AOSP, Cyanogen-based, MIUI, etc do not support WiFi calling.

If you want WiFi calling, look around for TouchWiz roms for the Note 2, which will only be 4.4.4 or below. To my knowledge, there are no Lollipop TouchWiz ROMs for the Note 2.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ashade:
I don't get to pass from the four dots booting. Any ideas what I might have been doing wrong? I'm currently on tweaked 4.1.2.

Is the first boot extremely long?

EDIT:

Solved by upgrading TWRP to the latest version. For those wondering about the gapps, I installed the mini version in the following link:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] SolaceKane:
Is there anyway to increase the in call volume? Even on max it is horribly low to the point that I cannot hear the other side. I even tried the suggestion mentioned earlier in this thread of hitting the volume down once then up again but no such luck.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ringochan:
Nexus 6 now supports WiFi Calling and at least one CM based rom supports it. If AOSP officially supports WiFi Calling, I wonder why a CM based rom built for Note2 can't support it...:p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] xxjabberwockxx:
The golden question for developers then :cyclops:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] roadkill499:
I used a thred search to try an find an answer to this problem before posting but didn't really find a clear fix so has this problem been fixed? I'm on the latest build of octo 5.1.1 and am having the same problem came over to this rom as I was on teamubs 5.1 and network drop was so bad it made my phone useless at least on this rom it intermittently messin up any help would be much appreciated thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] xxjabberwockxx:
I haven't seen any signal loss for me. Wouldn't hurt to just do a nandroid backup and try it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] roadkill499:
Mine seems to be random also sometimes it's just the cosmetic signal drop

Wi-Fi Tip

My Wi-Fi connection at home has been slow for ages. I've usually switched ROMs and kernels every few months after the frustration builds for a while. My other devices are always fine and comprehensive speed tests clock 20 Mb down or more. Realistically, I'm pulling about 1.5 Mb down at the most and either the latency or jitter absolutely sucks. I haven't switched away from Oct-L because I love the ROM so much and have rocked it for about 4 months. The frustration started to build but the ROM is too awesome so I started digging. Changing my Wi-Fi frequency band from Automatic to the type for my router (2.4 GHz) instantly and dramatically improved my realistic download speeds. To do it go Settings, Wi-Fi, click the Menu button, Advanced, Wi-Fi frequency band. You can find your frequency if you don't know it by short pressing your ap's name. Remember that you cannot see ap's of the alternate type with this setting changed from Automatic. Keep that in mind when your out and about.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] saqc2010:
Video Playback Gripe

First of all,

I totally love this ROM!!!! Really smooth and love the STOCK feel. Now my only grip is the following. When trying to view videos in cloud apps like dropbox or google drive, when trying to forward to another time stamp, either it stays stuck or it'll go to the location and the audio will run but video will be stuck at what was last being viewed before forwarded.

I also can say the same for MX Player. MX Player by far is the best app out there (IMO) to view any content in any format. However, the same happens with this. If i forward, either it'll stay stuck or the audio will run in the forwarded location but the video is still stuck. If i revert back to a TW-based ROM, it works fine and no laginess whatsoever, whether cloud based viewing or on MX player

Is there a work around this? Or is there something on my end that i'm not doing properly. Please provide me any sort of help and i'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] xxjabberwockxx:
This seems to be an issue with either the t0lte builds or our phone or a combination of both as I have seen this in almost every ROM, if not all.

There is a workaround. Since you use MXPlayer, there's a setting in there somewhere about using Software rendering instead of hardware, or something like that. Set it to software.

For non-MX Player stuff, try this:

Go to System Settings.

Go to About Phone.

Scroll down to Build number and tap it several times (I think it's 7 total). It will tell you when you enable Developer Options.

Once enabled, continue with the workaround...

In the Settings screen, go to Developer options.

Scroll down to Disable HW overlays and turn it on (to use GPU for screen compositing).

It resets on reboot though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] grendude:
Thanks so much for the rom. I'm really happy with it and it's stability.

But, I do tend to have random re-boots.

My hope is that this could be improved with updates.

For a while, updates were coming ~once/month.

It's been a while...

Is there any chance that their could be an update schedule posted or, even better yet, weeklys / nighltlies?

Thanks again for all the work!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chevymanusa:
A better place to ask regarding the weekly or nightly builds would on the Team OCTOS Google plus community page - https://plus.google.com/communities/102188586220747781076

According to the change log all variations of the current version of OCTOS are on M3 (Milestone?)

https://www.teamoctos.com/category/changelog/

Looks like all phones that support OCTOS are on the same version, as in getting the same amount of love.

In regards to the random reboots, did you do a fresh clean wipe of all cache and data before installing ?

If not, try with a clean wipe of storage and cache.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] grendude:
Thanks for the reply.

Yes, I did (2x).

I'm curious... are you are encrypted?

How many of those on this thread are?

Are any of them having this random re-booting issue?

I'm thinking of de-encrypting, but have to do a factory reset (as far as I can tell).

I wanted to wait for the next milestone build, but as I mentioned I was hoping that would come a while ago.

Still, keeping my fingers crossed that they're still building.

My phone doesn't go to sleep. I'm giving a go to Mobile Radio Pwn, but don't really understand what it does... I haven't found any other fix for this unless you are in stock based ROM.

Looking at this ROM

This ROM looks good and the team website looks very professional so hats off to all involved. I have a Note 2 running Team UB 5.0 but it's been unsupported for months now and the team was disbanded. I'm looking into installing this ROM but before I do, is anyone running into any issues with this octOS? How's video playback, LTE, etc?

Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] melqui2004:
This have been the only one with no issues so far, Netflix, camera, WiFi, tether, messages, lte, is good only thing I think is broken is Bluetooth and some random calls my phone does to people I don't even know

Black screen when receiving or making calls?

Great rom.....fast! But for some reason., I get the black screen when making or receiving calls. I have the tmobile version of the note! Any solution to this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] common-sense:
You might try reflashing. I have the TMO Note II as well, minus the issue you're having.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] chananan:
Tried flashing 3 times and other lollipop rom to no avail?

Same blackscreen....being using twrp 2.5.0.1 version...could that be a problem?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] xxjabberwockxx:
Very possible. I used 2.8.6.0 and am on 2.8.7.0 now and have no problems flashing this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] chananan:
I updated twrp to 2.8.7.0..........and it did the trick... Thanks for you advise...cheers
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] chananan:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] photomoto:
No Headphone audio with screen off.

When i use 2.5mm wired headphones i noticed that audio cuts out when you the screen turns off. Audio returns immediately if you have the screen on.

But Bluetooth headphones work fine.

Is anyone else seeing that?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] RebelKangaroo:
I flashed build OCT-L-M4-5.1.1-20150821-t0lte just a couple of hours ago on my T-Mobile Note II and TK GApps. My problem is that when the screen goes off by either pushing the power button or setting the phone down I'm getting constant boot loops. While I'm using the phone there's no issue and it runs very smooth.

I'm going to flash it again and see if it was just a bad flash.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] RebelKangaroo:
Tried flashing several times with different GApps and downloading the .zip again, but still got reboots when the screen turned off. Flashed M3 and now everything is working great.

It didn't fix my Wi-Fi not turning on issue, but at this point I'm beginning to suspect hardware.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] xxjabberwockxx:
Curious, no random reboots on my end except for maybe once after 4 hrs of bluetooth streaming. Perhaps it's an app? The usual questions... Did you try a clean install? Are you adding a kernel? If you've tried a clean install, and no other kernel, what happens if you stop the system restore so no apps get installed?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] droido101:
hoping someone can answer this question for me please and thank you. does ambient display come with this rom, and does it work?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] cmillens:
No - Bluetooth does NOT work fine. If the handset is more than a few inches from my headset, every 15 - 40 seconds I get Headset Connected, then Headset Disconnected.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] RebelKangaroo:
Sorry for the delay - I did do a clean install and was able to get M4 working. So far, everything works great until I reboot and then it goes into bootloops every time the screen shuts off again. Performing a full shut down fixes the problem.

So if I only do a full shut down the ROM works great....except the wi-fi selectively working, but I think that may be hardware unfortunately since it started behaving strangely with the last ROM I used.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] xxjabberwockxx:
Yikes. That would suck if it was hardware. I have wi-fi on all the time and connect at work and at home once I'm in range and I don't have problems with the phone (or in my case, phones). Can't say anythintg about the reboot vs full shut down too. I have scripts (using automagic) that reboot my phone at certain times or when i do certain things and it reboots fine all the time. For this ROM, I don't install any custom kernel either.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] martyh1:
Did u ever find a solution to the problem of audio stopping through the headphone jack if the phone goes to sleep I.e. screen turns off? I've got the same problem.

---------- Post added at 12:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:14 PM ----------

I did a wipe, and the problem went away. Must be an app that was causing it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] martyh1:
Well, the audio jack problem came back. I've tried removing apps one by one but nothing helps (removed *ALL* apps that I added) and the problem remains. Its weird. I can only listen to the audio jack while on the home screen and, of course, the phone stays on (can't go to sleep).

Going to do another wipe. And try to see when it starts up. Starting to think it's some system setting that I changed, at this point.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] martyh1:
I reproduced this after doing a wipe cache/dalvik and before installing any apps. The music (using the included music app) will play through the audio headphone jack only when the screen is on and on launcher. This seems to possibly have something to do with the "ok, google" hotword. Once I enabled it for any screen, music started playing back through the audio jack on any screen but still not when the screen turns off. I'll edit this if I find a full solution.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] photomoto:
I never found a "real solution." I did a clean install, no other apps, and i still had the issue.

I installed the newest version OCL-L M4. And i still get this problem. (been running OCTOS since M1)

I tried running "viper audio ". but i dont think the daemon was was working 100% with this rom. Anyway, that didnt work to fix the problem either.

So I've just been using bluetooth headphones instead. Not really a fix, but its the workaround im using for the time being.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] martyh1:
I finally gave up on the ROM, at least for now. I'm surprised how good a stock 4.4.2 ROM runs on this old note 2 (rooted of course).

Does Bluetooth audio work now? I switched to nameless as I got tired of having to reboot my phone to get Bluetooth music to play in my wife's car. This doesn't happen on nameless although the sound still skips a bit. Nameless has problems too, would like to come back to this.

I play BT all night on EC Tech bluetooth speakers and my car with a DEH-X6500BT wiithout issues. No custom kernel installed, in case that matters.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] grendude:
Super happy to hear this.

Please, when you have a chance, have a look at audio via bluetooth.

I've tried it with various apps and it appears to be a rom issue.

Google Play Music, Doggcatcher, Radio.com etc. all have issues with skipping and pauses / breaks via bluetooth.

I've used several devices including the car and a few devices at home.

The much documented volume issues where you have to adjust the volume down then back up to get normal volumes when you receive (and can answer) a call.

Other than that, the only bug I can report has to do with odd behavior with incoming calls.

Finally, once in awhile, when I received a call, the screen seems to freeze and I can't easily accept the call.

Sometimes the system recovers before the call goes to voicemail, but mostly, it doesn't and I have to call the person back.

Let me know if you have these same issues.

Or if anyone has any suggestions as to how to improve these issues.

Thanks again!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] robl45:
My Bluetooth seems to be working with weekly build. Previous builds I would have to reboot every time to get audio to work. Uninstalling gas buddy app seems to have helped with Bluetooth issues
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] grendude:
Gas Buddy?

Any idea as to why?

I don't have it autostarting / running with xposed Bootmanager and Greenify

Do you think this would make a difference?

I'll remove Gas Buddy and see what happens, but I'd appreciate knowing why...

Bluetooth Distance

I've always been able to get bluetooth to work on my T-Mobile Note 2 with this ROM. BUT, it only works intermittently and only for short periods unless the headset is 6 inches or less from the headset! I am 6'2" tall and when sitting in a chair with the phone on the desk in front of me it will connect then 15 seconds later disconnect, then 10-15 seconds later reconnect. Rinse and Repeat ad infinitum. This is the only rom I've had this issue

I am having a dialer problem with my note2. I am using the current octos 5.1.1 and when I receive or make a call screen shuts off and I can't get to come back on until the call has finished. I really need the screen to either come back on when I press a button or the screen stays on during the call. Am I missing something.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ashade:
How are you grabbing the phone? The sensor is in the upper part, the two holes, and I don't know why but it's set up pretty low. I usually get it to come back if I grab the phone from he bottom. No major issues running the last Nightly, you could give that a try as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] arkieiowa:
Even when I make a call as soon as I hit send the screen goes black and stays that way until the other party hangs up. Is there a way to adjust the proximity sensor. I don't even care if the screen stays on the whole time during a call.

I am having an issue where anytime I receive or try and send MMS in GO SMS, my network drops out. I'm on T889UVALJ1 modem, and I upgraded also to the T889UVUCMK7 modem, but both resulted in dropouts as soon as I received an MMS. This was also the only time I'd noted that the network dropped out.
