Thanks for this solid ROM. It is working great so far. I tried to build my own OCT-L zip from sources and the instructions were simple enough for me to build it.

When I flashed my build(on top of current 5.0.2 build available on OCTOS website), it booted fine and things seems fine. But mobile signal is not working, when I go to APN screen it says "This user doesn't have permissions". Tried to fix permissions thru recovery( twrp 2.8.6) but no use. Adding a new apn didn't showup on that screen. So wondering if I need to do additional steps during build to set correct permissions? I didn't wipe system,cache or data during flash. Can someone give me pointers on how to fix mobile signal.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chevymanusa:
Thanks for this and for keeping this pone alive with updates.

Okay, I tested yesterday and the usage on the t-mobile site does not indicate any tethering usage.

Note: I tested tethering from the note 2 to a S3.

As I use a S3 for dash camera and audio in car.

Hope this helps.

This has been running pretty solid, only quirk I have sometimes is where the phone just freezes I guess overnight, where I cant wake it up to check on anything, also while this is happening it doesn't allow my alarm app to go off in the morning, receive text, email, nor phone calls. With all of this, Im still enjoying the long battery life and smoothness of the ROM

Great ROM! And fast on the Note 2! Thank you! The only issue I have is that audio only produces sound when the player is in minimized mode on the desktop. The minute I swipe the top bar down to access the music player, sound dies and there's no sound as well in the music player's interface. I've tried a couple other music players off Playstore, but to no avail. Do I need to reflash, or might it be a small tweak. Thanks.

This might be related to the Google Now hotword detection thing. In order for me to hear music outside of the desktop screen I have to have that turned off. It's under google settings, voice.

What is difference between "t0lte" and "t0ltetmo"

I triad to install this rom but I got massage that my phone is a "t0lte" and not "t0ltetmo"

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chevymanusa:
t0lte is the code name for the Samsung Galaxy Note 2

t0ltetmo is the code name for the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 2

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do you have a T-Mobile Note 2? If so, what ROM are you currently on?

If not, you will need to find a ROM that will work with your Note 2 and Carrier.

Hope this helps!

Thanks, but I do have T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 2 but I use NamelessROM 2.0 and I used others and my device did change to GT-N7105

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] xxjabberwockxx:
Yup, when I installed Nameless and UB, my device became a GT-N7105. My guess is that it's for the international version or maybe a generic Galaxy Note 2. OctOS I believe is specific to the t0ltetmo flavor. Should still work though. I remember going back and forth between Nameless, UB, and OctOs without a problem, as long as I did a clean install.

I do clean Install but the Rom it self tells me that I'm a "t0lte" and not "t0ltetmo" . I had never a problem before like that All Roms show as "t0lte" for T-Mobile Note 2 that is first time I see it a "t0ltetmo".

Yay! Lollipop!

I've been on a 4.3 rom forever and decided to make the jump and try this rom.

So far so good. Streamed with Podcast Addict to Bluetooth with no issues (must have, 50 min commute). Gave Netflix a quick go and no issues.

We'll see if I miss Wifi-Calling.?.

Hasn't been a full day yet, but I'm excited to play around with OctOs and looking forward to the upcoming update. Great Work!

multi-user feature?

Thank you in advance, keep up the good work!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Centora:
I've been testing this rom for the past 3 days. So far so good only a few minor bugs. The first of which is the "Error -504" in Google Play. Basically, when you go to install an app from the market, sometimes you get that error. All I do is clear Play store cache and retry to almost 100% install rate. Occasionally the first time you install an app, the app doesn't function properly, and you have to uninstall it and reinstall (from both Play and local package installer). So seems the main issues are actually downloading and installing apps.

One minor annoyance is the shuttering screen dimmer. For those of you non-gamers, shuttering is when an image skips frequently. So when the dimmer kicks in, lets say its diming from bright to lower brightness... it will be say 80% brightness, than 75%, 70%, 65%, than to the desired 60% based on the phones sensors. Stock t889 rom (which is what I used the life of this phone) doesn't do this. It will properly dim without utter annoyance. So for example:

Stock: 80, 79, 78, 77...........63, 62, 61, 60 brightness

Shutering: 80, 75.......65, 60 brightness

Very annoying when it shutters and is completely noticeable. Brightness going down 1% at a time flows very nicely, but at 5% at a time is very blocky/choppy. For now, turned auto diming off, and manually adjust brightness until next patch comes out to potentially fix this.

Another issue I ran into was Google Now Launcher (comes stock on 5.x.x andriod) doesn't run whatsoever on this rom. Not really an issue for me personally, but if this app doesn't work, there might be others that do not. Plan was to keep Google Now Launcher as a system app that served as a backup. At the moment, I remove Launcher3 (came stock with this app) and just have Nova Prime as default. Should anything happen to Nova, I'm pretty much screwed lol!

Everything is pretty much stock, but I removed Launcher3 and Cyanogen Theme. I replaced boot loader video with stock lollipop (I know this is probably frowned upon, but I want as close to a stock lollipop build as possible). It would be nice to find the apk that the default wallpapers are stored in to add all the default wallpapers (PhotoWall.apk apparently isn't even in this build). I also need to remove all the sounds and replace with stock (not sure if these are already included or not... mainly focusing on appearance first). I realize it would be much easier/faster to just use some sort of theme app, but I'm the type that doesn't like unused apps whatsoever installed.

I will continue to use this rom as my everyday rom and post bugs as I find them. I don't plan on getting another phone anytime soon and want to enjoy the finer andriod updates! Keep up the great work team and looking forward to the next release! :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] tooter1:
The problem I have is when I need to charge the phone at night with my alarm set to go off, it'll say "Unfortunately clock has stopped" and just flash the LED. I'll reboot the phone and it'll work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Centora:
I would suggest uninstalling the clock app, rebooting, and reinstalling it. This method seems to make issues like these go away for good. Let me know if that fixes it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] tooter1:
I'll post how that process goes.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] wogeboy:
No major probs after a week but the screen tends to flicker/dim a lot. And a few install problems with apps thru google play.

Hope next update addresses these.. so far I will use it as daily driver unless other probs pop up. thanks for the hard work :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] tooter1:
Well, this didn't work. What seems to have worked is, I flashed a newer set of GAPPS and seems to work now when plugged in while its charging.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Centora:
Some of the issues are a result from the original Nexus 5.0.2 Android system files. They fixed a lot of the bugs in their 5.1.x release. I just can't figure out how to extract LRX22G 5.1 install files or where to even begin from there.

Another bug I found was the built-in flashlight... If you turn the flashlight on, the screen turns off based on your screen settings, and than the flashlight turns off as well. When you turn your phone back on, the phone still thinks the lights on, but it doesn't come back on. I'm not sure if this is an issue of the tentacles OctOS not locking the cameras system_state, or if this is a 5.0.2 issue. Simple solution is to just use a third party app such as Torch.

On a side note, my alarm app worked without issue, while being charged. Sometimes simply clearing the dalvik cache fixes some problems.

Can you help with the change of storage of main memory to sd to pics and apss my phone its a samsung sght889
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Centora:
Be sad to see development discontinued. Sometimes there might seem to be a lack of interest, due to lack of releases/nightlies. I personally plan to use this rom as a DD for the life of the phone. Be nice for some of these bugs to disappear. I myself know very little about development, but know more than a noob. :laugh:

Thanks for the link, this should be a sticky!

Hoping this Note 2 last me until the Note 5 or until something better comes along.

Another big thanks to the developers!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Centora:
Haha I voted right after the post was posted about voting! I love lollipop, way better than the stock jellybean I've been running throughout the years. So yes I would love to test nightlies for final builds xD
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Animatorman:
Can anyone give me a little insight as to why this ROM fails during installation every time? I'm not new to custom ROMS but haven't had time to mess with my phone in quite a while , BTW I'm coming from Double0EK 4.4.4 ROM.

THANKS
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Centora:
Well firstly, make sure your recovery is the latest version of TWRP. Next I suggest making a backup of your current 4.4.4 system. Next do a full wipe (don't wipe modem, internal storage, or external SD card). Now flash the correct ROM on the OctOS website, once a successful flash has been performed, I'd wipe delvek cache, and reboot. Once you've booted, power off, get back into recovery, and install gapps. Once you've done this, you should have a fully working, rooted Android L on your Note II.

On a side note, those of you who want Google Now Launcher, after you've done the above, flash Google Now Launcher by itself and maybe wipe delvek cache (not sure if wiping is necessary) and reboot. You should boot with Google Now Launcher without it crashing.

Currently, I'm in the process of making sure all 5.0.2 system files are the latest versions. Though it would be amazing if OctOS team focused on either upgrading to 5.1.x or fixing all the bugs in 5.0.2. Either way, lollipop is indeed a milestone in Andriod flavors. ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chevymanusa:
If I recall correctly its not all necessary to wipe delvik cache for Google Now issues.

You will need to, at minimum, sign out of Google Now (not Google entirely) on your device. Then go to the app manager and clear the cache for Google Now/Search.

That last part may be overkill.

Everything else Centora said is spot is on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Centora:
Thanks for the clarification. I only really posted what I've done personally for it to work. So far the only real major bug I've ran into is the continual WiFi drops. Never had this issue before flashing this rom (ruling out the modem + wireless router) and also rules out signal strength (unless this rom uses less power to the module). So I'm thinking its either an incompatibility issue with LRX22G and T889 (refresh times etc not standard), or a bug persistent in "LRX22G" stock software itself. It's not really an issue unless I'm in a VOIP converstation... WiFi drops... so dose the call. I'm pretty much using this phone as a tablet, so WiFi is the heart of all operations.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chevymanusa:
[MENTION=6641522]Centora[/MENTION]

Regarding wifi dropping, one out of two had of our T889's had wifi issues. After much troubleshooting (read: did you try turning it on and off again?) a simple reboot fixed the issue and haven't had any problems since. User of second phone is notorious to go weeks or months before power cycling.

TL,DR: WiFi would be connected but show exclamation mark next to it on one of the phones. Restarting the phone corrected the issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Centora:
Yes, WiFi icon with exclamation point. This issue never happened on stock, unrooted jellybean (4.1~4.3), that I ran since the phone was released. I've been running this for a little over a week, and noticed quite a few dropped WiFi's. Multiple modem/router reboots as well as rebooting phone and forgetting network, etc. I'm not particularly concerned about the dropped connections... More so the overall stability of the ROM. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] thepinkpanter:
Good day,

I have the Note 2 SGH-T889 and during last week I did try 2 custom rooms but not in one of them I was able to use the GPS and just yesterday I re-installed the stock because I needed the GPS.

as you have the same phone would you please let me if this rom so far it is working good/stable?

thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chevymanusa:
Very stable, a few infrequent reboots. APEX Launcher closes randomly but not consistently.

I personally, reboot my phone roughly once every 3-5 days.

Camera occasionally does not work but in my experience the most stable for T889 custom roms. Sometimes closing it will fix it but restarting the phone works too.

Netflix does work, on occasion it will take forever to load or simply not load (just displaying loading circle) reboot will work.

Seems to be one of the most stable Lollipop ROMs for the T889.

If you have a specific question, ask it here and someone should be able to give you a good answer.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] thepinkpanter:
from the following page: https://www.teamoctos.com/supported...alaxy-note-2/t-mobile-galaxy-note-2-t0ltetmo/

one is the rom 243MB and the other one 78bytes is?

with the previous custom roms I did use CWM ..........and I don't about TWRP ....I think at the end it will be more o less the same thing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] SolaceKane:
Anyone else have an issue with not being able to write to external sd?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chevymanusa:
The difference between the two files is that the 78bytes file is the checksum file for the rom. If you download both the rom and the checksum, TWRP will use the checksum to verify the rom is 100% and wasn't corrupted.

For OCTOS, I have only used TWRP and as far as I know, that is the only recovery they support/suggest to use.

Hope this answers your question.

MMS not working? Try this workaround...

If you want to use the stock messaging app (or Google Messaging) and you are unable to send and/or receive MMS, try these steps (Assuming you're on T-Mo):

Go to System Settings.

Go to Mobile Networks.

Go to Access Point Names.

T-Mobile US LTE should already be selected. Tap this entry to edit it.

Scroll down to APN protocol. By default this is set to IPv4/IPv6. Tap it and change the selection to IPv4.

From here you can either press the back button or tap the menu button then choose Save.

Workaround: Video playback issues (including snapchat video preview)

If you have a local video file (or some streaming videos where it opens on the native video player (or in my case dolphin browser video player)) you might see some issues where you don't see the video or if you try to fast forward, it'll stall or the video disappears. I've also seen this when trying to preview a snapchat video I want to send.

Here's the workaround:

First, you'll need to make sure Developer Options is available. If it's not, here is how you enable it:

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).

Video playback should now work without problems.

Quick question for [MENTION=4272424]hedwig34[/MENTION] [MENTION=741210]xxjabberwockxx[/MENTION] or anyone else.

In the previous build Feb 19 (if I recall correctly) you could disable the lights for the led keys (menu & back). This was previously done by going to the "tentacles" option under system settings.

It is late/early for me, so maybe I am missing it but I presently can not find that option and those lights are bugging me.

Thanks again for all the hard work and in advance for your assistance!

*EDIT*

as of Today (Saturday,May 23, 2015) at 04:08 MST

Found the "Tentacles" has moved to an APP, I looked before originally posting it but must have overlooked it!

Thanks again!

*/Edit*
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] hedwig34:
I overlooked the gapps link in the OP. I'll make that change.

And there are three ways to get into Tentacles.

1. Launcher icon in the apps drawer

2. Quick settings tile can be added to the drop down.

3. Touch the build date in the about phone screen.
