You use phone all the time or just put it ? When I put phone. Means display off.. Battery consuptiom is low. And good Battery backup. But when I use phone for 1 hr continues Battery drain too fast. If you not using it onscreen then Battery runtime is good.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Mzuber Mulla:
I also thankful to developer and appreciate his work. 🥰
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Mzuber Mulla:
You flash rom on system as EXT4 or F2FS ? @Username already in use which is better ? @html6405
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Username already in use:
I use it for webbrowsing, watching videos in Newpipe and listening to music/podcasts mostly. Both onscreen time and offscreen seems good to me.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Username already in use:
Ext4. I try to mess around as little as possible from default values.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Mzuber Mulla:
F2fs is better ?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] html6405:
F2FS doesn't provide any benefits on our old eMMC's, I've made many benchmark's earlier and the result was that ext4 brings more performance.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Mzuber Mulla:
This rom is stable enough 😍🥰. Now you provide a good gsi for it ? You make repartitioner flashable zip ? For gsi flashing . Waiting gor gsi.😍

2. Wifi direct not working in this rom ?

3. Can i install samsung keyboard ? @html6405
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Mzuber Mulla:
Can you make oneui gsi for this rom😍😍 ? @html6405
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Mzuber Mulla:
Can we add samsung keybord on it ? And samsung gallery ?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Mzuber Mulla:
Any update ? And gsi ?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Mzuber Mulla:
Hii dev. you make gsi for this rom ? N7100 ?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Username already in use:
This thread has 65 posts. 39 of them is from you (60%). Approximately 1 of those is somewhat helpful to the development of the rom, the other 38 is comprised of asking questions and making demands.

If you were the developer and was met with a user with this behaviour, would you be put off from further development or would you find it rewarding?

Feel free to develop your own rom. All information and tools are available if you care to look and put in a little effort and time.

Stressing and pushing other people to work for your benefit is usually not met with the response you want. Basic psychology and how humans work.

Have a nice day!

Hello is the TWRP that is needed to flash GSI complete?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] html6405:
No,

I had no time to start at all.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] html6405:
Update 11.11.2021:

Synced with latest LOS sources (Security patch level 01.10.2021)

Improved auto-brightness behavior

Updated Via browser

Introduced new possibility to enable / disable the software navbar, this is needed to use Android 10 / 11 touchscreen gestures.

To enable / disable it do the following:

adb shell

su

setprop toggle_navbar true (also for disabling)

(You can also use a terminal emulator)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Alexander077wa:
it's work perfectly for me until now clean flash thx so much but how to root by magisk please i want add viber sound
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] esysfound:
Great work Html6405. I spent much of the day flashing and tweaking Lineage14 (dropping back from 17) on my old N7100 - because the GPS (which I need never worked). It is quite a jolt to go back to earlier ROMs where all menus, options, are less capable and in unfamiliar areas. But the L14 (A 7) has current security patches and a working GPS.

If anyone can confirm this new L18 build has working GPS I will gladly help test. Thanks.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Alexander077wa:
is it possible to make two speaker work together !? like Dual speaker !?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] hnilaey:
Tankyou .good .bug hot spot
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] html6405:
Just simply flash the magisk.apk in TWRP.

GPS is not working, I'm sorry, I will try to fix this, but I can't promise anything.

This device only has one speaker, so how do you wan't to do this?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] esysfound:
I use this on bicycle and motorcycle as a navigator - thought hard about getting a new cheap phone but no good options (especially if you want to root and keep control- Lineage ROMs scarce on new lower end phones). GPS has been a problem on the Note 2 N7100 since at least A10 & 11 builds. Not sure why.-really hope you can sort it Appreciate very much your effort.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] html6405:
What I know, this problem exists since android 8, there was no A10 build, but the root cause should be the same.

The n7100 never received newer working blobs, the old ones contain text relocations and they need many functions in the framework, which doesn't exist / changed on android.

I've already made the GPS deamon happy to provide everything needed, but there is still no signal as much I know.

I really try to find a solution for this.

Thanks for the quick reply dude magisk works fine but viber sound not working in magisk, according to the second speaker i think is near front camera

I have small bug sometimes screen go black i don't know is it software or hardware things thanks a lot again keep up you are the best
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] html6405:
Do you mean the receiver?

This little speaker is not made to give a loud sound, so I see no benefit to connect it with the main speaker.

I know what you mean, I'm not sure so far why this happens.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Alexander077wa:
Believe in me brother this speaker will make a difference i tried before on note 3 or 4 with Anan rom thx
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wiijordends:
First of all, I like to thank you for your hard work.

I really appreciate it that you make older devices more secure by providing an up-to-date degoogled ROM.

The other features are nice to get.

I was genuinely surprised to see Android 11 for my Galaxy Note II!

At first, I thought it was just an older Android version with just a custom design and some strings changed in settings, but it is really Android 11!

Even my friend didn't receive the October security update on his Galaxy A71 yet.

I tried Comico's Pie ROM before switching over, but it seems like your ROM is more stable.

I don't have many feedback, however I have some:

- MAC randomization doesn't seems to work as intended. It seems like it's always the same. I did disable IPv6 in build.prop. Maybe that has something to do with it?

- I notice battery drain. I cannot pinpoint the cause yet, so I am sorry to be unhelpful.

- My phone seems to crash random while using Calyx vpn, Brave Browser and Session at the same time, and switching between them.

- When the phone is in stand-by / sleep, a red small light is sometimes on, next to the camera, not the notification/charging led. I don't know what this is, but I didn't have this before.

- GPS won't work, but I understand it will probably never will. But personally, I don't bother that much.

I also wonder what it would mean if Treble is finally implemented.

I know we would be able to load GSI images, but does that mean that or phone will be future proof for upcoming Android revisions like Android 12, 13 etc?

Would be nice to have Material You in the future, it's just a nice eye-candy.

I am not quite sure if newer Android versions will works for armV7.

Just another quick question, can I enable encryption into settings, or is it broken?

I don't like to just try it out. I have too many files on the device to backup and don't want to mess up my phone.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Alexander077wa:
Is it bug i can't mount my system partition on recovery any suggestions please i try to change build.prop i can't edit it i really need to disable hardware buttons and ViPER4Android_FX-v2.7.1.6 still not working any help please thanks
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] html6405:
Ok I will think about this,

Honestly, I didn't test this feature, I will check this.

Ok, if you're really facing this (I don't), just do:

adb bugreport

and send this file to me, then I could analyze what's going on.

The best thing would be if you could provide a last_kmsg file after a reboot, you could simply use the syslog app for this. (root permissions are needed)

This could be the proximity sensor, maybe the pocket mode is enabled?

I would check the gesture settings.

Yep, this means that it would be enough to build one treble GSI which would fit for all exynos4 devices, it is possible.

I've already booted up Android 12 on a N8010, which has the same SOC.

Spoiler content hidden.

So shortly explained, it's possible to build GSI's which would fit for all exynos4 devices, all we have todo is to apply some specific patches.

You could build every Android 11 ROM you want, but there's some work to do.

I've only shared an AOSP at the moment, because I don't have time to do everything.

It's untested, I wouldn't test it if you have importand files on your device, I will add it to the list.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] html6405:
If you're using my TWRP, there are no problems known.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Alexander077wa:
i use this file i think it's your am i wrong !!

i don't know why i can't mount my system partition please any suggestion !?

View attachment 5461751
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] html6405:
Ah sorry, because of maintaining many devices I thought we're in the T0LTE thread.

I'm not the maintainer from this TWRP, but I will be very soon.

If this TWRP really can't mount system, just wait for my new official version with GSI flash support.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Alexander077wa:
sorry don't laugh on me am not professional tester but what is GSI !? and is it take time to have your own TWRP thanks so much for your great job
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] html6405:
A generig system image, based on project treble is a system image which can be flashed on all compatible devices (without the need to touch the boot and vendor partition).

It must not be built for a specific device, but there are specific patches needed to support our exynos4.

For more information, just google it ;).

It wouldn't take much time to build TWRP, but my time is very limited and there are many projects, I guess I will do it till december.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Alexander077wa:
thanks for your time and job do you have a telegram group for note 2 n7100 please :p to put logs and give u feedback ! and to help me to add viberFX because still ask me to install driver i press okay and then restart and then again run viberFX and ask me again and again lol
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] porcino:
Impressive work! The old phone looks like new, almost..

Just tested lineage-18.1-20211111-HTML6405-n7100.zip, found some stability issues (reboots occasionally, the camera crashed), encryption does not work (just reboots), and the applications in the work profile created by insular (formerly island) stop seeing the filesystem after disable-enable cycle of the profile and until the next reboot.

GPS to my surprise found a satellite, but then lost it; it might take time to get a fix. I am not using network based location though.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] html6405:
Thanks for your report, yes GPS is a real mess on this devices, but I still will try to fix this.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] porcino:
I've got GPS fix actually, just had to walk to the garden, but then the fix was lost again. It used to work better..
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] html6405:
This are great news, if we consider that GPS never worked on Android > 7 for this device :),
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] porcino:
As a silly idea... Can the problem be with the power management? The problem, I mean, is that the GPS being not as sensitive as it should be and frequent random crashes of the system. The hardware in my device is still strong, quite reliable with the e-foundation ROM and the previous stock firmware.

GPS showed some Russian flags in GPStest, which means the hardware can see GNSS, not just GPS satellites.

Regardless of the GPS and stability issues, lack of encryption is a show stopper. It is the same across all Android 10-11 ROMs in all devices, and across all 7+ ROMs for this device. Whoever solves this problem becomes famous...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] html6405:
In my opinion, the driver and power managment should be ok (I've took the driver from the last official KK stock ROM for the n7100),

but maybe I need some kind of a signal fixup, I will try to debug this.

I will also try to get the encryption working.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Bach_J:
I installed the ROM on my smartphone. I installed TrackerControl (a firewall via local VPN, see here). Once the vpn is enabled, instead of filtering traffic according to the specified rules, it blocks all traffic. Could be a ROM issue since on another smartphone running Android 11 it works fine.

Could someone install the app and check if they have the same problem, please?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] html6405:
This could be Kernel related, maybe this app need's an higher Kernel version (some specific functions, which maybe could be backported ).
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Bach_J:
If it can help you,

TrackerControl works with this ROM rom-e-os-lineageos-14-1-nougat-microg-gps-security-backports-update-v0-19.

it works neither with yours nor with this one rom-pie-lineageos-16-0-20200104-by-comico

Netguard, by M66B, (app of which TrackerControl is fork) exhibits the same behaviors

Edit: TrackerControl strangely allows some google domains, for example google search results appear.o_O
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] html6405:
Thx, thats good to know,

but this kernel doesn't seem to have any of the related patches included, maybe they weren't published.

But I've found this:

NetGuard/FAQ.md at master · M66B/NetGuard

A simple way to block access to the internet per app - M66B/NetGuard

github.com

maybe there's a solution.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Bach_J:
I have tried the various solutions and unfortunately they do not work. As a last attempt this fix is presented (fix). Can you take a look at it and see if it is already implemented in the ROM or not?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] html6405:
I will take a look at these patches.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] html6405:

Some tweaks

Fixed NetGuard support in Kernel

Disabled WPA3 in RRO overlay

Enabled default gesture navigation (you can use my toggle_navbar script to modify it)

Enabled 1704 MHz if you wan't to overclock

Enabled dex preopt

Overworked GPS, but the problem still persists

Fresh install of 01.12.2021 version

no gapps

Test results:

random reboots

sometimes the screen turns suddenly black and the two touch physical buttons blink. Force reboot needed.

When I connect the phone to PC (Windows 10) via USB and I choose "file transfer", all usb settings become greyed out and the phone is not recognized by the pc (no device in "My Computer")

[Tested on wifi only] Netguard works flawlessly with default settings even with system apps

[Tested on wifi only] TrackerControl doesn't work. It blocks some apps yes and others no and granular blocking of app tracking doesn't work because tracking domains are not shown.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] html6405:
Ok, so this is unchanged,

Hmm ok, never tested TrackerControl.

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] AlexALXua:
Hi, tried this rom on my n7100. And jot one major issue with it and want inform anyone else just in case.

1. Did flesh install of 01.12.21 version (full wipe of data/cache/system/darvik).

2. Did flashed magisk, then gapps pico.

3. Rebooted.

After that got situation when i had android welcome message and flicker (changing way fast) to sim PIN code unlock. Can't enter PIN and this keep happened for ~20 seconds, in last few seconds saw "enter PUK code". After that got "no sim" message, and then was able to continue android setup process. After everything else got to work had really "no sim signal" all time.

Decided to rollback to my backup, and after reboot did saw "your sim blocked FOREVER". It seems like this rom DID typed all time wrong PIN code THEN PUK code and sim was blocked completely during install process!

So just saying anyone who might had same situation - better to pull off your sim first before flash... Thankfully was able to replace my sim by new one with saving my phone number in authorized service today.

Unfortunate don't have any logs or any other data provide to investigate this issue since i did reflashed already, so really un-helpfull. Just wanted to warn anyone else and hopefully some people will able to fix this issue in future.

Have a nice day! And good that there is still people what work on roms for this device)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Nojoy:
Fresh install. Bootlooping.

After spending a few minutes, doing manual battery pull, got to boot but it was very very slow, lineageos boot logo was stuttering. Went to settings app, then black screen with buttons light up.

I don't care about netguard or overclock nonsense.

I think the projects goal should be stability first, not performance or extra untested/unneeded features. My device use case is for documents cold storage.

Rolled back to 11.11.2021.

No issues with that. Boots up fast and stable.

Can I use previous kernel with Dec updated rom? Can you only provide google security updates and then an "alpha alpha" rom for others who want extras?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] html6405:
Hmm my device did work well, I will do a clean installation to check this.

I'm testing these things for sure before I publish them.

Netguard support was requested here in this thread, maybe you call it nonsense, for other people it seem's to be important.

(People also asked in other ROM threads to support this)

Sure.

I'm sorry, I won't do that, I'm doing all this work in my free time and there was no single donation at all to support this project.

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wiijordends:
Impressive!

I really appreciate that you keep our devices secure with your up to date degoogled ROMs.

I am a bit busy at the moment, but I will give it a shot for sure!

I really appreciate you enhance the security and stability, all new features are just nice to get.

It will take some time before I can share my experience.

I was wondering if all fixes of LineageOS 18.1 are still there on LineageOS 19?

I don't use any Google Services or GAPPS.

In my opinion, it just ruins the whole point of the ROM.

I like to keep my phone degoogled, so I cannot help you with any GAPPS related problems.

I still discover some bugs with your latest 18.1 December build:

I discover some critical problems to unlock a SIM card.

It asked to enter my PUK code right away (not PIN).

I entered my PUK code correctly and my SIM card "got permanently" blocked.

It somehow fails to unlock my SIM card even while the codes were correctly.

It's not a problem, my carrier replaced my card for free, but it's still something I like to share with you.

I found a current workaround by removing the pincode requirement from my SIM-card by using another phone.

This makes it possible to use the SIM on my Galaxy Note II, but is a potential risk if someone got physical access to my SIM-Card. I wish I could do some more research in this one, but I hope you understand that I am not so eager to go to my carrier again soon.

The following issue is not critical:

I can connect my phone to my tv using screenCast without any problem.

But I just shows my desktop wallpaper on the screen. (similar if you emulate secondary display in developer settings)

I can't duplicate the screen or show content on the tv screen.

Maybe there is just something I have missed. I don't use that feature often.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] html6405:
Device specific fixes, yes,

but LineageOS 19 itself is not finished (there are still many things missing) and officially not available at this point.

This is already known, I'm sorry for this, I don't have any SIM-Cards to debug this, I only own my personal SIM,

so there's no possibility to work on this yet.

BTW, I've mentioned this at the start post.

But maybe I will be able to solve this some day.

Thx for reporting this, the problem is I don't have a TV to test this, so it's hard to support the function.
