You just can't let this phone die, can you? :laugh: Of all the phones you have, including newer up to date ones, I'm surprised you still use this at all? You have to be the most passionate user of note 2 there is!!!

Btw, I did flash this just to test it briefly, and this does seem to be a little faster than the N version ROM's... not as cutting edge, feature rich, but faster and still has Xposed working. So, like anything, there are pluses and minuses to all ROM's. Happy to keep it alive for those still using it.

Edit: Oh yeah, this is also much quicker to compile too (like 1/2 the time or less), and doesn't need super fast computer with a LOT of RAM like the N version does (like 3-4 times as much RAM or more). Maybe I should just stick with this and drop LOS14.1 :D lol
[Galaxy Note II General] gregsarg:
13 runs great on the Note 2.

And I've said it a hundred times...there is no better phone out there than this one for a good reliable handset.

I just can't put it away because everything just works good.

There are plenty of lemons out there....

But this phone isn't one of them....g

[Galaxy Note II General] kozmo21:
Had a break, so thought I'd update the kernel for you all.

The stock LOS13 kernel hasn't had an update for a few months since there is really no maintainer for it any more, so it fell way behind. I updated it with everything from LOS14 except the BLN. So this is now current.

I also updated it to what I have in my RR ROM, that includes extra governors like zzmoove (with 11 profile options), lulzactiveq, and smartassV2.

It also has OC to 2160, and UC to 100, and options for UV too. All the other battery tweaks, etc. from my RR are also included. I'll add this kernel from now on in the monthly builds.

**OC at your own risk** Most can OC to 1800 with no problems, but it takes a good chip to go higher, and it may not boot if you go too high. So have a backup jic if you try this.

You may want to make a backup of the stock kernel in TWRP before flashing this, it only takes a few seconds. I tested it for quite a while and everything seems to be fine, but it's always nice to have backups just in case.

[Galaxy Note II General] murti52:
Which app is recommended to do kernel changes..? And also sorry for not replying your pm. I had just got up and had seen your message. A big thanks for the effort and hard work you are doing :)

Edit : just a note that i lost my root after the kernel flash... So just add the superSu zip in the queue while flashing the kernel.
[Galaxy Note II General] kozmo21:
I use Kernel Adiutor for changing my OC , governor etc. .

Yeah, any time you flash the kernel alone you will lose your root. These patch the kernel, so it has to be done after. If you use Magiisk or stock Lineage addon root, you shouldn't need to flash root after a

ROM

update.
[Galaxy Note II General] kozmo21:
I haven't forgot you guys. The commit for the security updates has been done for over a week, but it hasn't been merged for some reason? As soon as it is, I'll do this months build. Just wanted to let you know I'm still building this as long as there is a demand for it. There was still roughly ~35 downloads for last months build, so unless that really drops off, I'll keep building for you. Hopefully once Xposed is working for N, then you all can move on, and I can stop building this. Btw, it looks like rovo89 is closer to getting it working on N :good:
[Galaxy Note II General] peterhugelberg:
iirc there was a link somewhere on xda how to see if the security commits for LOS13 were done, however i cant seem to find it anymore, could anybody help me out?

Looking forward to the next build, but rovo89's latest post also gave me hope that i will be able to switch to LOS14 soon ;)
[Galaxy Note II General] kozmo21:
Monthly build up.

The security updates finally got merged today for August... almost a month late, but guess the guys are busy working on LOS15. Sources synced and added all my kernel stuff from RR/LOS14 to this, including full charging rate, lower screen brightness option, etc. No need to flash anything else after ROM any more.

Guess this got moved to general since it's not actually a ROM thread. Not sure how much longer I'll need to do this since Xposed may not be far away for N, and think that is the only reason for most of you are still on this? But if I do keep doing this monthly build, guess I'll need to start a thread for it? Once RR/LOS15 is out, I'll probably quit this cause I'll need the room on hard drive for that, and I'm not going to do 3 different ROM's. Anyway, here is the ROM...

I've had the ROM done for a while, but AFH was having problems, and I couldn't add/upload any files for hours tonight. Guess the problems continued, this time it was my fault... doh
[Galaxy Note II General] peterhugelberg:
I'm experiencing high battery drain (even though there are no obvious wakelocks) and some random reboots with the new build.

Also if i touch anything in Kernel Adiutor the Phone becomes extremely unstable and crashes a short while after.

I dont have time to grab logs and look into them at the moment, might go back to the july build. You dont happen to have a version without the kernel modifications i could try?

Edit: Battery consumption over night looked okay this time (0.4%/hr instead of ~3%/hr) however before i went to sleep i started to charge my note with a 0.55A Charger (i prefer slow charging overnight) and multiple apps reported that my device is charging with 1900mA (i normally use Galaxy Charging Current to monitor the charging rate and installed Ampere to double check the results) now this is either a completely wrong number which the system reports or the Note forces a lot more power out of the charger than it is able to handle (it did actually get quite warm, although not alarmingly hot) I then changed the charger to a 2A one and just charged it enough to comfortably last the night an be able to wake me up in the morning as i did not really trust the device at that point.

Edit2: MTP is also not working as soon as i switch from charging only to filetransfer my computer does not recognize the device anymore. I would greatly appreciate it if you could look into these problems or just revert the changes.
[Galaxy Note II General] kozmo21:
Sorry, missed your reply here... Nothing I did should have made the file transfer/MTP change? What does it show for the charging rate when connected to USB? If it's over 600mAh, it can cause it not to work for file transfer.

As far as the A/C charging, just use "kernel adiutor-mod" to adjust the charging rate. (you can adjust the USB rate with this too. Keep it under 500 just to make sure file transfer works. Stock is 450)

Monthly build up

Not sure if there is hardly anyone using this any more, or it got lost since it went to 'general' section instead of 'development' and no one sees it now? But, there was over 40 downloads for July build, and less than 10 for last months build. If people are moving to 14 now that Xposed is kind of working, I'm not going to keep building if no one needs it. I can't tell if there is 1 download or 9, but let me know so I can stop wasting my time if no one uses this any more. I could use the extra space on my HD for other things.

lineage-13.0-20170920-UNOFFICIAL-t0lte
[Galaxy Note II General] peterhugelberg:
just installed the new build, without changing the charging rate it shows 460mA through USB and MTP is not working. I then changed the USB Max Rate to 450mA and now MTP is working, so looks like it was connected to the charging rate :)

I'll keep an eye on the battery consumption for the next few days.

Also you mentioned lower possible screen brightness levels for the last build, do i need to activate these somewhere? The lowest level i can set through the slider does not look lower than before
[Galaxy Note II General] kozmo21:
Not sure why changing that from 460 to 450 made it work, but that little difference shouldn't make it work or not? You can have it at 550 and still work as I've had it on mine at up to 600 and still work... but at least you got it to work. Might just be your phone as no one else mentioned it? And could be if you did a dirty flash and something was left over? Maybe a clean flash would have worked?

As far as the screen brightness, you shouldn't have to do anything. If I get a chance sometime, I'll try to flash this on mine to see if it works. I just copied over the same files I edited from the RR build of mine that I know works correctly, but something could be different in the files from 13 to 14. It goes to almost total black screen on my RR build.

And just a fyi: I didn't change anything for the USB charging, only the AC, so really not sure why it didn't work for you, and maybe only you?
[Galaxy Note II General] peterhugelberg:
strange, it probably was dirty flashing, im not really in the mood to do a clean flash at the moment and for now everything seems to work fine

I wasn't looking for general information about rom building (i think the official lineage os help pages should contain all the necessary information)

I was interested in the changes and fixes you made, or did you submit everything to the lineage os repositories?

Any chance you could provide your changes so i could integrate them and build the newest version with your fixes?

(sadly there are some spen related things i can't (or better don't want to) live without (no pointer icon, no reliable attach/detach detection, and no update to gmd spen control) so switching to nougat is not an option at the moment

One lineage developer asked me if someone can make a video of stylus gestures in cm13? He is trying to port it to 14.1 but doesn't even know what they were like in cm13.

I don't have a stylus myself so I can't do it.

Help would be appreciated :)
[Galaxy Note II General] peterhugelberg:
Im not sure if they actually work (for me they dont, but right now im kind of on a frankenstein'd rom)

However i attached a Screenshot of the possible options, there are only those 5 actions or just launch an installed app (i picked firefox as an example) and of course you could rearrange those actions or replace them with other apps and so on

So im not sure if a video would contain more useful information

I also think there are some essential actions missing, also some more gesture options and or custom gestures would be nice.

I attached two separate screenshots just to show some other possibilities i currently use with GMD SPen Control.

(My thought process is, that if someone is whilling to invest time into reimplementing this stuff, it might as well get better than the previous version ;) )

[Galaxy Note II General] julian67:
I don't know who has been maintaining CM 12.1 and now 13 on t0lte, but they have been doing a really good job. I tried LP quite a while ago and it was not great, so I went back to Samsung KK + Nova Launcher + Xposed. I tried t0lte LP again a few weeks ago and it was great. I *finally* felt really satisfied with 4G connectivity, call quality, audio streaming, S-pen (with "All in one Gestures" app), battery life, reliable sleep, smooth scrolling in www browsers, proper fstrim support etc. Essentially all the stuff that had truly frustrated me with CM KK and early LP has become problem free for me. I'm finding MM similarly good. The only thing I now miss from the original firmware is Samsung's multi window. I have tried the experimental feature of MM but it is very Alpha.

A few weeks ago I was wondering if I was going to need to buy a newer device. Even several years after its release, you have to spend serious money to get better hardware than the Note II LTE. I'm really pleased that "whoever it is" is putting in the time and effort to keep these devices viable and secure.
[Galaxy Note II General] andrewKode:
I wish that guy will consider making official builds for n7100 too.

But n7105 and n7100 shouldn't be too much different, so it shouldn't be that hard to make a build for n7100 too. :confused:
[Galaxy Note II General] julian67:
Sometimes people say "be careful what you wish for".

The difference between 12.1 and 13 is minimal. Unless you have a need to integrate your microSD with the internal storage then you are not missing out on anything. I moved from 12.1 to 13 because CM abruptly stopped supporting t0lte on 12.1 when 13 was made available. I prefer an up to date OS on any device where I do banking/shopping, so I upgraded. I would be happy, maybe actually happier, with stable and/or snapshot releases that got security updates instead of having a device that is on the daily upgrade treadmill.
[Galaxy Note II General] andrewKode:
Yeah, I don't really care if it's CM13 or CM12.1 as long as the device is themed with the new material design. I can live with Official CM11 just fine but there are FCs and Play Store FC when installing too many apps. Plus, it's outdated. I don't even know why they keep compiling CM11 anymore...

And they stopped making stable builds. I think snapshot too. They do nightlies daily.
[Galaxy Note II General] julian67:
I don't think anyone is compiling official CM 11 anymore, or for a long time. The newest KK snapshot is from 2014. For 12.1 it's November 2015. Everything newer is a 12.1 nightly until a few days ago, and now it's CM 13 nightlies.

I'd prefer either stable or snapshot, with security updates. Unfortunately it looks like owning a Note II LTE now means choosing between a *very* old Samsung 4.4.2 with lots of vulnerabilities and no support, or getting on the nightly CM treadmill.
[Galaxy Note II General] andrewKode:
What do you mean with "I don't think anyone is compiling official CM11 anymore"? CyanogenMod does. n7100 got a new CM11 last month, it's weekly they say, but sometimes it's monthly lol

[Galaxy Note II General] julian67:
Well this thread is for GT-N7105 and there is now CM 13 nightly or ..... nothing.

If you have a different device with KK updates, that's nice. I don't think you are doing so badly.
[Galaxy Note II General] techx:
whats the feedback on this ROM guys? Hows the battery life? I want to make a jump from DN4 2.2.6-LTE as its my daily driver. Appreciate your kind feedback everyone.
[Galaxy Note II General] Senyaka:
The Rom runs super smooth. Haven't had any issues with random reboots, wifi ect. The battery so far has been really good. I haven't used a touchwiz rom in years on this device so I can't compare to that. I'm on stock kernel as well using xposed. The only issue you will have is with certain apps. Netflix for example won't play properly. It will be normal for a minute or so then it will have massive lines show up on it. Xposed works well. Haven't had issues with the Rom and the modules I normally use. If you haven't used a 6.0 Rom before and you try save pictures from the net, and after granting it access it says failed, force close said app, restart, save picture and its all good to go. I would suggest reading up on how to get SD card working just right on 6.0 as things are a bit different but once set up everything works as it should.
[Galaxy Note II General] wroobi71:
I've tried and for me is too much unstable. I experienced huge lags with phone app or reboots during playing audiobooks. What is more, streaming audio to bluetooth headphones breaks.
[Galaxy Note II General] julian67:
After the initial set-up it is excellent.

Battery life of CM 13 is comparable to Samsung firmware's power saving mode, which is to say that it is really impressive.

I found that to get a stable device when moving from Samsung to CM it was necesssary to do a full wipe of the device i.e. in TWRP I wiped all partitions except recovery and started over as though from new.

In the Samsung firmware I was using Xposed to change a few things. In CM I found that running Xposed made the device unstable and caused some big problems. I also found that AirAudio https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.airaudio or similar apps that capture and redirect audio caused a lot of problems. I started over without Xposed and everything is great.

CM 13 is the first ROM I tried which handles both wifi and 3G/4G as well as Samsung firmware. If I'm at home on wifi and playing music on BubbleUPnP and then I go out (and my phone switches to 4G) the music just continues without even a second's interruption.

Scrolling pages in web browsers is nice and smooth (was often *very* jerky in older CM versions).

Camera works great.

Call quality is fine, much better than older versions I tried.

Deep sleep is working really well, though some apps can mess with this and I used Better Battery Stats and Network Log app and find the culprits, figure out what they might be doing and change some app settings.

Audio quality for music playback to headphones is excellent.

Dock audio to speaker or line out is still a disaster area (only Samsung firmware works properly).

S-Pen is great with "All in one gestures" app.

No crashes, no freezes.

Overall I'm finding this to be a genuine daily driver, but only with a clean install. I tried installing CM 12.1 and then upgrading and this was a huge mess, as was restoring data from older system apps. So you do need to spend some extra time and effort to make the change but I think it is worth it.
[Galaxy Note II General] Headley:
Hi Everyone.

I'm using cm for my t0lte since cm12.0 nightly. Everything was fine, but since...I think 1,5 years I got random reboots. Since this time I installed the Rom new with clean install, dirty install...nothing successful. I use the phone very often in my car an hear audible audio book connected via bluetooth. And I hate! rebooting. I've given up. The problem is still present....

Now...in other forum threats I read, some user solved this problem by installing an other kernel. Now I dornload the AGNI-Kernel here (http://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=18059&nocache=1). But I cant flash it :( I got a zip verification error. Im on the latest Cm13 nighlybuild and using TWRM Recovery 3.0.

Can someone help me?

Thanks to all :)
[Galaxy Note II General] julian67:
I don't think a different kernel is the answer because I don't think the CM 13 kernel is the problem. Here is what I would do:

100% start over:

Use odin to flash original firmware. Boot it and make sure it works.

Now use odin or heimdall to install TWRP

Once you have TWRP 2.8.7 installed you can boot into recovery and upgrade TWRP to the newest version, currently 3.0.2-0.

Now reboot to recovery and do a full wipe and then clean install CM 13 nightly.

Don't restore any system apps or root apps data. Don't run Xposed.
[Galaxy Note II General] Headley:
Thanks for answer...but these steps I already did some time before :( After the reboots in 12.1 wasn't fixed, I installed the Samsung original stock (4.4). After that I installed the recovery ( I don't know which I used at this time, I tryed different CWM, Philz, TWRP) and then I installed clean cm12.1. Same result. I believe Its a hardware problem behaps.

Perhaps I'll install stock again and use it and wait, the reboots are also with this rom....Then I know, its a hardware problem (a new original battery I changed too)...or an app I use let crash the phone....I don't know...
[Galaxy Note II General] julian67:
It could also be a temperature problem. I think you need to enable debugging and check logs to see what is happening.

On 12.1 and 13 I had problems, as stated earlier, with Xposed and AirAudio. Also with root apps from Amazon app store, in particular with Root Explorer. Root Explorer had been one of those daily free apps before Amazon did Underground store. It was OK on Samsung KK but flaky on CM. Anyway I uninstalled it and bought Root Explorer from Play store and it's 100% stable.

I think just keep things as simple as possible, do nandroid backups, enable debugging and you will probably find the problem. It could be hardware. If you ever opened up a 4 year old cellphone it can be pretty disgusting with dirt and debris. Note II is really easy to dismantle if you have some simple tools and it is not such a bad idea to clean it and check all connections are good.
[Galaxy Note II General] Headley:
Ok....I'll study the log-files. earlier I've read my log files and there was something like "kernel panic" . But I did not understand what was the cause... I'll post the part if I find an it again. :)
[Galaxy Note II General] kepler1729:
Great discussion so far, and I agree that this ROM is doing awesome! (for the most part, had a random reboot today while I was playing audio through a bluetooth speaker while on my bike).

I still have a question -- how do you get a triple location chooser (like battery saving/high accuracy/device only) in the status bar? I can't for the life of me find that option, but I've never had an issue in any previous CM 12 or CM 13 build.
[Galaxy Note II General] Headley:
Long press in location chooser, the you can choose the mode.

You have random reboots while hearing audio via Bluetooth? I hate it too :(

Pull down the tiles.

Enter edit mode.

Swipe the left across , and maybe again.

Now you can select/deselect weather, brightness slider, tri-state location etc.

It took me ages too... it's the design and UX (User eXperience) fashion to hide important stuff in non-obvious ways and remove all references to it from menus and settings. Screw the customers, wtf do we know? When you see software User Interface people described as UXtards and dumb hipsters this is one of the reasons.
[Galaxy Note II General] techx:
Thank you all for the updates guys but how prevalent is the Bluetooth audio reboot issue? I Iisten a lot of music via my Bluetooth headphone and I don't want to caught off guard with this issue.
