I'd prefer not to do that on official builds. This rom should be clean.

If you need more kernel and rom tweaks then just use rr. [MENTION=2626876]kozmo21[/MENTION] is doing a good job there.

OK, starting from the next build you should see S-PEN gestures in the device settings working again (after cm13 period). :D
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] peterhugelberg:
I just saw the commits related to the spen gestures and was going to ask when the next build is coming ;)

From what i see, there is roughly 1 build per week, so we probably can expect the next one around or shortly after the weekend?
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] Option58:
Yeah every friday there's a new build. But it won't be much usable, you'll also need to wait for us to fix up the issues casued by the new blobs. Idk if we can make it by friday. [MENTION=6299732]PoisonNinja[/MENTION]
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] peterhugelberg:
to be honest i would'nt really care about sim issues, as im still on LOS13 and would love to just test if i could live with the spen gestures in LOS14 (right now the S-Pen is the only thing holding me back)
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] Option58:
In two days shall it be then :)
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] stewi:
Still no sim card recognized in 27171201.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] mangojack01:
Still no sim card detected on latest build.

I did a full system clean install.

Many users own the gtn7105 International.. factory unlocked..not tied to any network.

Insert any activated sim from any carrier and you're connected.

I travel frequently to many countries and if need be I just insert a local sim and phone functions fine.

I've also never had a problem with wifi , bluetooth or roaming connectivity.

Overall LOS has been problem free for me is every way.

The latest updates trying to solve sim and other connectivity problems for various variants of the phone that were originally locked to specific carriers have made my phone unusable as a telephone.

11 months of great builds then it seems that trying to please everyone has resulted in straying too far away from the pure build.

I migrated from CM14 to LOS in Jan 17 whilst in the Philippines and have used LOS ever since...in HK, Singapore, Japan, India...UAE...UK and Europe..Brazil and now home in Australia.

Never had sim issue before.

Restored the 2017.11.10 build and await a functional update.

Looking forward to the mentioned SPen features
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] peterhugelberg:
As mentioned by Option58, the latest build did not yet fix the issues with the new blobs but was just so that we (or maybe its just me) could play around with the spen gestures settings. (Im also guessing that there would not have been a new build if i hadnt asked for it ;) )

For productivity stay on the older build for now

Edit: I played around with the latest version for a bit here are my thoughts:

- the SPen Indicator icon does not work

- the option to launch a custom app is in my option a must have. I assume adding this would not be too complicated as we are already able to launch the messaging app/dialer/browser

- maybe the touch input should be disabled a bit longer even after the spen button is released, i think something around 100ms would already be enough to ensure the gesture is actually over.

But besides those point it works great ;)
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] Option58:
The newly updated blobs are reverted. For now. Starting from the next build your sim should be recognized again.

So ever since the ril was broken there have been a few new things going on:

* Kozmo pointed out to me that TWRP 3.2.0-0 is out. New build is out on official website. But also I've made a new build on my own. Here. So suit yourself.

* As we were talking earlier lineage maintainer for Galaxy Note 3 has worked on those S-Pen gestures. I've ported that over to Galaxy Note 2. :D

* Data encryption is now fixed

* Advanced display selinux denial is also fixed now. So idk how useful it is but it will appear under 'settings'.

Cheers xda :highfive:

Oh I didn't see you. Well...that's what we've got for now. Thanks for the review I'll let you know if something new spen related happens.

[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] Option58:
Guys I need a favor from you now.

Can someone who owns t0lte and not t0ltekor test this TWRP and verify that I didn't break vibration?

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817906626617950442
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] kozmo21:
Tried it... and it totally bricked my phone!!! No recovery, no download mode... nothing!!! Won't even power on!!! :( :crying:

Ok, I lied :D Had to mess with you a bit. What are friends for lol :p :laugh:

Vibration still works fine.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] Option58:
Gets a mini heart attack.

Now that's great. Many thanks for testing! :D
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] Option58:
We are starting unifying t0ltekor to t0lte builds.

Next friday t0lte builds should also be usable for t0ltekor. If that goes well we will hopefully disable t0ltekor builds soon.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] LimWilliam65:
Does the latest build fix the GPS system?
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] mangojack01:
Permissive Boot img wanted for latest N71050lte International build once current Sim issue is corrected.

Q? I bought this phone in Singapore 2013.

Because of the investment I chose the best of the Note 2 Lte models available at the time.

A device that can b used anywhere in the world.

Made in Korea...Factory Unlocked. XPS build, Jellybean 4.1.2 with Asian bloatware,

The XPS modem has worked fine with sims from many countries and networks

Y? is it referred to as an American T Mobile model, hence t0lte.

I presume TMobile had their own build..modem...network settings..locked..bloatware etc.

Do I need to change my modem to a T-Mobile version with these later LOS builds?

Sometimes it's hard to see the forest because of the trees.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] Option58:
Oh, here's an explanation in case you were wondering :)

Samsung's internal codenames go like this:

T0 - Galaxy Note 2

LTE - Qualcomm Gobi MDM9215 modem

3G - Intel Wireless PMB9811X modem

Now t0lte is not one device but a family of devices so the developers couldn't call it 'N7105'. We used Samsung's codename instead.

A proper name for N7100 would be - T03G. Vut it's only one device so they could call it like this.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] Option58:
t0ltekor users:

This has now been done. t0ltekor builds are soon to get disabled.

Here are the instructions to upgrade to 't0lte' without having to wipe userdata:

* Flash the latest 20171208 build for t0ltekor

* This build is automatically instructed to switch to 't0lte' next time you are upgrading using About>Lineage Updater

...Now lineage should be usable again with few new features and fixes as I promised earlier.

Was a busy week I sincerely hope I can rest and let the builds flow now :D
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] fields_g:
Confirmed. My Sim problems that existed in the previous two builds have gone away with the 12/8 build.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] mangojack01:
Sim now detected on 2017 12.08 update.

Thanks.

[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] gadget_theone:
What about SIM network? Is it stable enough for daily use?

My n7105 is flashed with "stable Lolipop oficial CM for n7105" and so far running great. Really wish this rom could be stable as well. Tks developers!
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] Armantas:
Lte and 3G network still is not stable, randomly loosing connection and crashes. Solution - always on 2G. Saves battery and nerves. This is the old bug.

Is it possible to fix Spen gestures in landscape mode? Overal quite stable for daily use (on 2G).
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] Kerann44:
I still also have disconnections (data and GPS at same time) especially when using GPS (waze) with bluetooth AD2P and AVRCP data (audio streaming with xiialive app in my car). Looks like when bluetooth is off I get less disconnections but I'm not fully sure about that.

I have same issues with RR 5.7.3 and 5.8.5 excepted that the phone is rebooting with 5.7.3 when the issue occurs.

I started to have disconnections with one the latest releases of CM12. With older versions of CM12 it was working fine: no disconnections.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] gadget_theone:
Wow... that's a long post metalknight....

My English it's not the best but I believe you're looking to fix your t0lte Sim card, so my advice to you is:

1) backup efs folder to mmc card with twrp

2) Go to Twrp and use format option (this is the only way I know to "clean" 100% of your t0lte internal memory)

2) reinstall stock rom.

3) test sim card / network / gps / wathever you want to

4) Root device

5) Install Twrp

5) Flash t0lte with custom rom you wish

Few months ago I did repeat steps above for several times without step 2. Step 2 has been the big difference to alive gps function to my beloved N7105 :)

Note: Twrp Format option does not delete your efs folder, however it's always good to have an efs recover, doesn't matter where (mmc, pc, others...).

Good luck

Hey guys,

Unfortunately, school is taking up way too much of my time, so I have decided to resign as maintainer for t0lte. Thankfully, [MENTION=4315222]Option58[/MENTION] has stepped up, and he is equally, if not more, qualified as I am. I’m not sure when I can start messing around with this stuff.

It’s been fun doing this, and y’all have been pretty awesome. Happy holidays!
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] Metaknigth:
I never made a backup of esf folder when I installed lineageOS, didn't know its a thing until now. And I can't back to my SD card since TWRP doesn't detect it. Its 64 GB formatted exfat which, from what I've read online, is the reason its not being detected. I can backup to a USB flash drive or my laptop so it's not really a problem.

But won't doing this make me have to re-download and re-install everything and set it up again?

And [MENTION=6798520]mangojack01[/MENTION] mentioned that updating fixed it, but it didn't fix it for me. Did I update somehow incorrectly? it seems to be working otherwise except the SIM card issue? Is there another way I can apply the update that might fix it somehow?

I never used GPS that much before, or at all, so I didn't notice any issues even if there were any.

Also do I not have to root the phone when installing LineageOS by just adding the su addon which I forgot before, same as installing gapps?

Is there no other way to fix this issue other than reinstalling? Can I restore a backup if I were to make one now or would that return the issue or cause it to happen again? How can I be sure something like this won't happen again in 3 weeks? I'd be hesitant to stick to lineage if this continues to reoccur...
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] melvinaury:
Just backup to internal memory and qith afile manager app coly de backup folder to external sd card..

Cant download this rom
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] HeadMajor:
for me it was two days.

i've got both an AT&T i317 and a tmobile t889, and i'm on tmobile.

i manage both of these phones for my 14yr old sons, and i can't have any flakeyness from these phones (as i've told them many times the primary purpose of the phone is for communication. all other uses are secondary. if the phone is not available for me to contact you, or you to contact me, then we've got "problems". and i certainly do not want the rom i put on the phone to be the cause of me not being able to reach them or vice-versa. trust me, they'll use it as an excuse against me in a heartbeat. lol)

after reading up a bit, it seems that this random sim re-lock is a CM/LOS thing, and was even popping up in threads i found back to CM13.

while there seems to be much in the way of getting it unlocked again and back to what you're running, i didn't find anything in the way of a solution to prevent it from happening again.

so for the i317, i had to switch to DN4. since it is a samsung based rom, it won't have any sim relock issues. (yeah, it's only android 4.4.4, but it runs great, and the son who got the i317 likes all the eye candy and bells and whistles anyway, so it's a perfect fit for him)

for the t889 i've got resurrection remix 5.8.5 which is based on LineageOS like this one. and since its a TMo phone on TMo, if it relocks, i wont notice it.

---------- Post added at 07:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:34 PM ----------

note also to please not take this as gospel. i'm not a dev, and i know that there's a lot that i do not know about this.

this was just my experience.

and if someone does have a permanent solution, i'll try it in a heartbeat. RR 5.8.5 with note buddy, squid, etc, can have all the eye candy and bells and whistles that my son can get with 4.4.4. just need to install the right apps and he'll be set too.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] AdhibH12:
N7105. Running the latest build. Videos stop playing or won't load at all. Tried it in various apps like MXplayer and youtube. Rebooting it fixes the issue temporarily for a few hours but the problem comes back again. :confused: Have it in the old build too.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] br54:
Disable hardware acceleration

Use software

Had this same problem.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] Metaknigth:
Thank you for the nice reply!

Shame there's no guarantee it won't reoccur. Would be nice if it was more stable, would definitely by my choice of OS, runs really nicely otherwise and is up-to-date and everything. My father is all about it "flakeyness" as well to keep in touch proper so we might just end up getting a new one or something, not decided for sure yet.

[MENTION=4513676]br54[/MENTION] I've seen you made a thread about a possible relock solution but seem to have since edited it's unfollowable. I'm sorry for potentially being ignorant or missing something, but why is that? Was it against the rules or something? Did it work or not? I'm up for trying a potential solution if it means it might not reoccur.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] br54:
It was a post about removing Knox..

I just never got back to it as it seems it may not fix.

Just Google how to remove Knox

The zip is a Knox free bootloader for T0LTE as it is the one from the "unofficial".

Just rename and delete the .zip part and flash with the official TWRP manager.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] Metaknigth:
Ah I see. Shame as well. If it doesn't really fix anything then I won't bother. Thank for the quick reply though!

After the last two releases in december i cant save my bookmarks to homescreen , tried opera, firefox and chrome. It says it saves to screen but nothing there. I use it a lot so it would be great if anyone has a suggestion . Otherwise have no special issues except the camera which stops funtions somtimes and i need to restart the phone and then its ok. Very good work , thanks.

Solved that by reinstall lineage. works perfect

Is there a recovery for I317-m that can be used to flash this? This is the sole reason I can't flash it yet :/

I already looked everywhere so that's why I gotta ask at this point

It's unified. You can just use the one in the OP.

Guys has anyone ever tested bluetooth audio when calling or bluetooth audio in general?
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] Artstar:
I've wound mine back to the release from 10-Nov-2017. Seems to have been the most recent one which has worked well for me prior to the subsequent updates.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] mangojack01:
I constantly use Bluetooth earbud/s for both audio listening and calling/receiving.

Works with standard network calls and voip calls, Skype, FB Messenger etc.

Incoming calls whilst listening to audio are fine, however I occasionally to need stop audio playback app then disconnect/reconnect bt earbuds for outbound calls otherwise call sound quality is *fuzzy* *distorted* and volume is low.

Its not a big issue for me but would b nice if it could b overcome

Double, tripple press bt earbud power button function for recent calls redial works ok as well..

[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] Option58:
I don't use an spen so can't reproduce/test the bug.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] stephendt0:
I don't understand, was your Galaxy Note 2 LTE originally SIM locked..?
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] Artstar:
My bad. I misread that as "reclocking", because of random SIM card dropouts that I was experiencing with subsequent releases.

...and no, mine was never originally SIM/carrier locked.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] peterhugelberg:
See the attached Gif for the bug, in landscape mode the coordinates dont seem to be remapped. In both cases i wrote readable from left to right (not rotated 90° )

[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] Option58:
Ah I see. Will be fixed starting from the next build. :)
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] AdhibH12:
Disabled the hardware acceleration options in the developer mode. Unfortunately, the problem still persists.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] Option58:
EDIT: Starting from the next build flashlight should be fixed for SC-02E (t0ltejpn) without any additional kernel needed. And it's all now unified under 't0lte'.

Others please check if your flashlight still works well, it should. :p
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] br54:

[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] Takodah:
Hey there, sorry for the absence. I'll be testing the next build :P I currently have the build 20171222 and flashlight doesn't seem to be working. The rest of the features are working great so far. Looking forward to the next build
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] Option58:
I need to find a way to fix your flashlight without breaking anything else on other variants. Which is possible, but I need you guys to test. :)

Already tested on my E250S and it all still works fine. Does this fix flashlight for you?

Also others, I intend to merge this starting from the next build. Could you with N7105 or i317/t889 test whether everything LED related is still ok? In TWRP > Install > Image.

BTW vibration for SC-02E works, right?
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] Takodah:
Yep flashlight is working now along with the vibration

[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] robjg63:
I have been dabbling with the ROMs for my GT-N7105 with mixed success.

Standard LineageOS was pretty good - but I was getting random reboots from time to time, then after a call sometimes the phone would lock up and require the battery to be removed to get going again.

Tried the resurrection remix ROM and (probably didnt try it long enough), but the phone seemed to go to sleep and not pick up incoming calls sometimes.

So I went back to standard samsung firmware and the phone (as it always has been) was rock solid. So pretty sure I dont have hardware issues.

I got tempted to try crDroid a couple of days before Christmas - obviously build on LineageOS. Seemed pretty solid until last night where it did the first random reboot.

I was looking at whether I could supply some log files - but it looks like when I use adb to pull the logs, you just get the logs since the last reboot - so they wont contain what happened around crash time as far as I can see.

So if I supply the radio and system log file :

1) will they be useful and

2) would anyone be prepared to have a look through and perhaps see if there are any hints as to the cause of the reboots?
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] Option58:
I understand that some have issues. But we have a lot of variants all running on different modem and different LTE/3G frequencies. Furthermore we use like a handful of blobs directly taken from Samsung firmware, not code from source so I'm blind there.

Guys I only fix what I know how to, not more, not less. Use it if it's good enough for you I guess.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] robjg63:
Thanks - was not my intention to sound demanding or offend in any way.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] peterhugelberg:
Im experiencing some random reboots as well (maybe once every 2 days), not really a problem for me as i barely use my smartphone as an actual phone...

Maybe we could compare who has which modem installed and see if there is a correlation between modem version and random reboots?

Im currently on the french N7105XXUFQG1
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] robjg63:
CP shows as N7105XXUFNI2 - phone was/is running firmware from Singapore.

My phone was a parallel import from Singapore into New Zealand - but works fine on the Samsung firmware.

The telco I am on has a 3G/4G network only (ie never had GSM).
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] Artstar:
Is there anything we can offer in the way of logs and whatnot that could help with debugging the phone network dropouts and loss of SIM card (until a reboot)?

At this stage, to minimise the phenomenon, I'm rebooting my GT-N7105 every morning before I head out to work. Seems to help keep the dropouts at bay.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] Option58:
Guys I will inform you if there is any new idea in the future and if you can eventually help in any way, for now it's just the way it is. (and on my E250S it is usable it's my daily)
