Hello folks, my name is CB and I am no developer.
I neither want nor deserve any recognition or status and I don't want
any donations for the work I've done. I can cut and paste and I got lucky
that the people who have gone before me made all this **** very compatible.
I have gotten permission to use this base and this kernel. I got tired of waiting
and asking for someone to release a rom like this so I took matters into my own hands.
This is an ATT base and it
DOES NOT SUPPORT WIFI CALLING
at this time.

The good:
This is the rom we have been waiting for fellas
very smooth
FAST gps
14 panel quick toggle
very light
highly dewizzed
zeam launcher
bravia
xloud
high res media fix
fast 3g/4g
The Bad:
No Wifi calling....yet
No CRT off
Money printing currently bugged
The Ugly:
Still twiz :'(
No Theme
TO INSTALL
- Make a Nand Backup
- Download rom.zip and place on sdcard
- Boot into clockwork recovery
- DO A FULL WIPE 3 DAMN TIMES!
- Install zip from sdcard
- Once zip has finished installing, reboot
- Now wait a minimum of 10 minutes, seriously...
- Reboot
ALSO I SUGGEST
After waiting 10 mins from first boot, batch restore all apps with data
THEN REBOOT
Then go and restore the user data like mms, contacts, wifi etc.
THEN REBOOT INTO RECOVERY and wipe cache, dalvik and fix permissions
Let the Rom settle for 5 mins after home screen boots.
This sequence will ensure a more stable system.
And also, Freeze wifi sharing and wifi sharing manager
and try it WITHOUT any OC apps first, if you followed all the above instructions it
should sleep very efficiently and be very responsive.
If your device is bricked at any time during the use of this rom I cannot be held responsible.

Good to see you back I ran your rom since you posted it and it worked great had a couple little issues but really smooth and had great battery life for me. I imagine you had an issue because of some apps which you had included? Either way don't matter to me but hope your rom is here to stay and you continue to work on it bro

So what am I doing wrong? After I restored dat.... I have no icons at top of screen. When I try to swype down it brings me to all my applications....
Not a big deal at all, but when the phone is in vibrate it seems to show the silent icon on the status bar. Still vibrates, but the icon is wrong. Is this just me?
Thanks in advance,

Sorry to ask, and no offense intended, but can you address the question of whether the questionable components have been removed? I would like to try the ROM but want to be sure. Thank you!
I'm pretty sure he's aware of why his rom was taken down lol. Anyway, is there tw launcher in here at all?

Not sure how your observation is at all helpful or needed. I am sure he is aware of why it was taken down and I was not asking him that. I was asking if the reason it was taken down was addressed. Otherwise, it may be taken down again. I think it is a fair question and deserves an answer.

Well i believe it was only root explorer... You can always download the rom and see if it's in there. And if you fear the piracy police, just remove it. You shouldn't really be pressing for a question to be answered when it was just recently asked. Such demands makes you look arrogant.

The guy is trying to stimulate discussion on a hot subject. Stop posting links to 2months old and irrelevant (its not the the same update...). Besides, he didnt ask for a changelog... as far as i know..
Personally, the camera is a huge improvement in many ways, browser query delay is faster (definitely, not placebo). I cant say the device is "snappier" since it was already pretty much instant. Also, i used to have a kind of lag while typing text in browser (such as this post), that is also gone now. I did experience a few app crashes though, but i am certajn that its because the custom rom needs work (B29 aokp).
Edit: also, the android OS battery using is significantly less. Of course sampke is smalll but it went from 25% to 4-5%

Honestly, even though it is a 2 month old thread. I read a few bullets on the OP post and most of those changes are relatively accurate on the OTA update released yesterday.
So I don't see what your point is? Even the points you made about 4.0.4 is listed,
Noticeably Faster
Browser performance noticeably improved

my point is relatively clear. It is old and this is a new update, you dont know how accurate it is. Besides, his post was more oriented towards a discussion than "please post change logs!!!!!". If you dont like those kind of discussions, fine, but i think its appropriate instead of being an ass about a new thread.
I find nothing wrong with this thread. Who knows what else Google coulda added to 4.0.4 for GSM over the leaked 4.0.4 for CDMA.
Not only are the phones different which can affect things such as reception and radios, but this is much newer and could have additional improvements. No point attaching GSM stuff to an already quite long CDMA change log thread as no one is going to see it.
-Picture quality is definitely improved; likely related to better operation
-Dialer is slightly bigger (?); layout a little different, e.g. settings button at bottom of dialer
-Haven't noted a difference in rotation,
-Backing out of some apps is faster, Play for instance, hit back-back-back and there is no lag migrating back and out of the app,
-The majority of my other observations are likely placebo (i.e. smoother, etc...)
Did google double the storage? Haha.

It actually is very accurate. Yes there are some new changes but not many. A lot of the most obvious changes have been pointed out in OP and we can quickly recognize them as we use 4.0.4.
That thread could of been continued on since OP actually had a lot of the points down. Many of the points that people are posting in this thread have been already made in that thread listing changes from a "leaked" build. The same bootloader from that leak made it into the OTA.

After 1 or 2 battery pulls that behavior went away for me.
First off, thought I'd let you know I updated with the CWM method. I was 100% stock but unlocked bootloader. Worked fine took 2min to do. One small quip was after my first reboot, I didn't have cellular network connection. Took 2-3 more reboots and lots of toggling to make it work. Now its working just fine.
Here's what I've observed:
1) Power menu sound toggles are nice (50x better if mute actually meant full system mute)
2) Screen shot sound changed to the same as the camera shutter sound
3) Feels snappy!
4) Color fade and transitions (like in menus) are now smooth instead of jittery.
5) Multitasking button has less lag. Definitely not perfect still though.
6) GTalk icon updated to look like Messaging and Google Voice.
7) When you turn the screen on, it fades in a much more pronounced way (imo).
8) Auto-rotate is fast and smooth, although I never found it particularly sluggish before.
9) Other, likely "placebo", effects of smoothness, etc.

I'm pretty skeptical when it comes to boosting programs, since most of them rarely do anything. Although, I figure I'd share this app with everything seeing as it worked wonders for me:

Attached is a screenshot of the effects, the ones tested today and near the middle are without the app and the ones closer to the top are with the app
REQUIRES ROOT.
Tested on: T-Mobile HSPA+, AOKP Fitsnugly, 4.1.1
Please remove this if its against the rules.
Also a quick thanks never hurts
maybe this should be over in the nexus apps forum?

Does it matter? It's not in the development section so be happy.
Just sayin'...
Might be a placebo on your guys part or might be a hit or miss. Mine actually decreased the speed. On Tmo hspa+
So after a couple of hours (20+ hours ) i have used stock 4.2 with root. No other modifications.
What I think:
-excellent speed, no lag or slowdowns
-excellent battery life with the new kernel
-the colors of the screen are much better!
-lovely new camera app
Everything is just perfect. What do you guys think of 4.2?

I love it! It's really fast, smooth and stable. Not a single problem in now almost two days. I like new additions, I got used to them right away. But, I've mentioned this before, the new "recent apps" is bothering me. It's really, really bothering me. I like that I can use the recent apps button while in-app to close it, but it stops right there. It's buggy like hell and it makes me feel like I'm on a nightly ROM each time I close an app. And I preferred the transparent look from 4.1. I seriously hope they'll fix it soon. Argh.
But, nevertheless, I love 4.2 - it's amazing.

Well, everything is perfect expect 3 things.
1. lockscreen is a fail... o.o... after i slide to other widget page do something and come back to page where i can unlock my device i have to press a button to get the lockring? O.O also when i resize widgets i gets the lockring to another page and doesnt save the resize wtf really?
2. recent apps is cool, but its laggy. swiping apps is laggy, dont know why? hope we get the fix soon
3. power widgets at notifaction thing is not really widgets. example: if i press wifi toggle, it doesnt turn off or on wifi, it just takes you to wifi settings where you cant turn wifi on or off

of course they updated the kernel! look at the build date! and if nothing changed from the previous kernel, they could have used that one. they used a new one, and there are new changes. look at the 4.2 kernel source and you'll see
Not entirely they fubar'd the internal sdcard. Now everytime you flash a new ROM it will create a new partition in the /sdcard/ titled /0/ and you're f'd if you need a backup because thats in /sdcard/ while you're in /sdcard/0/0 :S

You seem to not understand. The WiFi just shows which WiFi you are connected to. Only actually toggles there are airplane mode, bluetooth and brightness.
And you also seem a bit confused to the lock screen as well. But I'll let you figure that out

Guys I see many of you have lags and bugs, i suggest to wipe everything before flashing, that's what I did and I have no lag or bugs in recent apps or elsewhere...and I'm usually very picky about lags and framerate drops...really 4.2 is as smooth or better than 4.1.2 here...gmail and recent apps are smoother than ever, facebook feed scrolling is finally totally smooth, and generally 4.2 feels fast and solid, I see some nice tweaked animations here and there...
That being said I expected much more from the google development team, sure WP8 lacks a solid ecosystem, but the os itself has some cool features that I'd like to see on android...like the all in one chat app, or the app-personalized lockscreen...our lockscreen widgets can't even compare to that...seems like android team is out of imagination and is just implementing small and not useful things here and there instead of pushing boundaries

So...basically you want them to push boundaries but manage to release a very stable and solid ROM, sometimes as soon as a few months after the last release (4.0>4.1>4.2 in less than a year)? I somehow have a feeling if they had revolutionized the OS but couldn't manage to smooth out a few bugs, you'd be on here hating them for not releasing a stable ROM. I think maybe you should start deving and realize the time and effort it takes to bring new features with true stability.

Hi Guys,
Been an HTC guy, all my Android life. Thinking of picking up my first Sammy with the Sprint's version of Note 2. Just had a couple of questions about software and ROMs:
1. Are you guys expecting a Port or Updates from the new S4, coming to the Note 2? If so, when? Or if they've been ported already, can someone point me to the ROM or mods for those?
2. Been familiar with Sense and AOKP/CM10.1 for some time now. Never used TouchWiz. What are most of you driving with here? TouchWiz light and snappy enough with balance of pretty to be used as your Daily Driver, or are you guys AOKP kinda guys here as well? Either way, can you make some ROM recommendations for a new guy? I'd like to experience the Sammy experience, before moving on to AOKP, if possible?
Any other tips you can give me before I switch? I will be switching from an EVO LTE with CarbonROM running on it. Thank you for your time.
It's pretty much a 50/50 when it comes between TouchWiz or AOSP. There is already an s4 system dump.
For Rom recommendations I would suggest if you want TouchWiz stay on stock that's my opinion. And if you want AOSP is suggest CyanogenMod.
PAC rom is good too but for me I love simplicity. So that's why I'm currently on stock right now or CyanogenMod

I was an HTC guy before coming to Sammy. I can say I wasn't all that thrilled with Touchwiz, compared to Sense.
I ended up ditching Touchwiz for Nova Launcher and a couple extra widget paks (HD widgets for clock and Android Pro Widgets for Timeline aka Friendstream and Contact favorites).
I am very happy with this combination.

I was the same at first, but in the long run, I actually Prefer TW to Sense. By miles. Stock TW is (usually, with perhaps a small bit of configuring) faster, and makes more intuitive sense (haha).
AOSP is of course loverly, but TW has a few features w/o totally obscuring Android that I think are ok, even worth it.
Thank you everyone for the response guys!
Just was wondering that I should try out TW for a bit, since I have never used it daily before. The gimmicky features from Sammy on the S4 though... like the Camera app and gestures and eyes thing for scrolling... do you guys think those will be/can be ported to the N2?
Thanks again for everyone's input... getting excited! Just not sure if the N2 will be too much of a phone for me to hold LOL!

Those are coming to our device either this month or next month. And before this device, I as a big time rooter, but I say stay stock, it has everything you could ever need.

I too switched from HTC for 3 years.. And I can say I haven't been happier!!! Tw does take some getting used to after sense, but none the less its every bit as good as sense IMO... If I want a tweaked stock tw ROM, I suggest checking out the lab rats ROM.. Its pretty cartoonish stock, but the updater is chocked full of themes and different apps. Its been an amazing ROM. I used to be a flashaholic til the rats came my way. Not to mention they gotta be the friendliest, goofiest, most entertaining group of devs I've seen yet and as for requests, if its possible its usually pretty quick turnaround and they enjoy all they do probably even more than we do!!! Give it a shot and I can almost bet you will keep coming back to the lab!! Of course this is just my opinion, but there are many more who share it!! As well as, of course, some that don't..

Everyone,
Thank you for your wonderful responses. I just brought home the N2 and it's a MONSTER !!! LOL!
I do want to stay TW for a bit though... so can you guys recommend the most UP TO DATE, and MOST CUSTOMIZEABLE TW ROM with hopefully the LEAST about of bugs and MOST amount of speed? (LOL! I know, talk about Eutopian demands, right !?)
An example of that ^ from the EVO LTE world is Team Venom's ROM...
I will Root though,because I need apps like Titanium Backup to fully set me up on the new device...
Thank you again for all your help! Looking forward to loving the Sammy world !
And oh, for the folks saying that GS4 camera and other features are coming to N2... do you think there will be some features that will NOT work on the N2 for Hardware or Kernel (firmware) issues? Thanks again!

Thanks again for the responses guys. Tried my first few ROMs last night... JellyBomb... LabRats... Nice ROMs, but they are too "modded" and touched for my taste...
What ROM can you recommend that's kinda Stock, debloated, keeps the original spirit of Stock at it's heart, with performance enhancements?
Is Synergy a good one?
Also... what's the later build? M7 or something after that? I am forgetting the name right now ...

Hey sparytrainor,
Thank you for your response. Per your recommendation, I tried the Lab Rats ROM, but found a NUMBER of issues with them:
1. I didn't like the annoying PnB Bootanimation, and tried changing it via their built Customization app, but it just booted into Recovery and did nothing ...
2. The kept prompting an update, annoying
3. Flashlight toggle didn't work
Just seemed way too customized to me, without a whole lot of value for those changes.
I am now trying Stock MC2, Rooted and DeOdexed, but I can't seem to boot in. TWRP says, it needs to fix Root permissions at the end of the flash and in both cases (Fix or Not), the phone reboots and sits at the Samsung GN II screen...? Am I missing some firmware requirements here?
When I get that ROM going, I hope to debloat it with TB, and find ways to tweak it a bit, like find a Battery mod or something maybe...?
Thanks again for everyone reading my thread!

OK, in the updater, go into settings and select reboot type and select the recovery u use. This will fix the reboot and install not working.
Also there are fixes in the updater for all the other issue u mentioned with the ROM other than the flashligt , which I use one from the play store anyway..
Check out the updater website for previews of the mods and themes.
http://updater.team-nocturnal.com/labrats/
And as for the other issue, mine says it needs to fix root sometimes as well, but I swipe to fix and everything goes fine. If you didn't update to mc2, u may need to. Here's a link for that as well..

Good luck to u.. Happy flashing and enjoy your new favorite phone!!!

Thank you again, friend, that seems to have worked !
Couple of follow up questions:
1. In the LabRats ROM, if your Swipe to Capture function working?
2. Is there a "safe list" available for the apps I can uninstall to de-bloat?
3. If you run into a faster, less bulky ROM, please share with me , thanks!
Actually that goes for everyone else, as well. Please share your thoughts and inputs if you happen to have some cool ROM recommendations for TW ROMs that are the lightest and the fastest an least buggy !
Thanks guys!
You'd have to search around for a list of what can and can't be removed.. Or u can do like I did and make a backup so if u remove something that breaks the ROM, u can restore ur backup in twrp and be right back where u started..
Swipe to capture has to be turned on in settings. By default it is off.. I used it to take this screenshot for u..
As for a debloated ROM, you might do well with nowiz aosp in development section..can't get much more debloated than that..

Couple of questions bro:
1. What's the eye icon in your screen shot in the notification bar? I never get that...
2. What theme are you using? Link to that theme and other cool ones like it? (I love Red themes )
3. As for the swipe to screen, I've had the right settings enabled, but for the life of me, I cannot get that feature to work ... Even tried it on a friend's stock GS3, nothing. Saw videos on YouTube as well, mimicking the same thing, still no go ... wonder what's up?
As always, much appreciate your kindness and help !
We can help a lot more if you post in our lab rats thread.
I removed about as much as I could without complaints. I personally would remove more, but I wanted to keep the users happy. I would remove s voice, email, calender, Google search, Google now, voice recorder, and voice search. Themes are in the updater and screen shots are on our Web site. All PATB can be removed via the updater.
The eye is smart stay that you must turn on. Flashlight works perfectly fine for everyone else as well as swipe to capture.
Thank you sparytrainor!
