I am waiting for my Note 2 but am curious about something - I currently have a Galaxy SIII and some t-Mobile ROMS are compatible with my phone - work very well actualy (Frosty JB is one example) Does anyone know if this is the same for the Note 2? Are the ATT Note 2 phones similar enough to the TMobile ones that TMobile roms will be able to work with little or no modifications?

Tried and tested... works but no signal or IMEI
Frosty ?
That's too bad - I am not a dev - but it seems to me that if those two things are the only things that don't work, it wouldn't be that difficult (for someone who knows what they are doing) to port it over to ATT?
I wonder if we could talk the Dev who developed FROSTY for TMOBILE to port it ? I'd be willing to give a decent donation to him - maybe I will try to bribe him -

Lol. Bribe tends to work. Best usually are pledges for donation. I for one would like to donate pledge to devs who make porting ROMS from the international version to the rest of us poor folks. Love to finally have a TW based MIUI again. Only seem to happen on international so far. I am no dev either but it doesn't seem impossible from what I have seen so far from "simple" folks like us trying to run different version note 2 ROMs on their devices. But then again sometimes things are harder then they seem. I just like to push for a dev jont effort on this to which I would love to give my pledge.

That's not good...were you able to retrieve your imei?
I remember when I had my fascinate we had to flash our original modems to be able to use custom roms, maybe its similar to that?
After a long time staying loyal to the Nexus line I just picked up an S3. Main reason was the 44$ price tag and the fact I could stick a 64GB micro SD in here.
So far I think the phone is ok but WOW does their bloatware make the phone sucks. I really want my old Android OS back and wil be reading all the guides I can about flashing it.
Anyone else gotten one? Anyone flashes it yet?

Just root it and freeze/delete the apps you don't need. Stay away from AOSP, you'll get used to Touchwiz and love what it offers over those buggy ROMs.

I may try and find someone in town with a custom rom S3 and try it out. I REALLY miss my CM roms on my Nexus S.
You are right though, there are some great features bundled in the touchwiz OS but a ton I simply want gone. I simply hate the layout of a lot of the included programs like the SMS, calendar and phone.

If it's CM you're after, that's definitely available for your new phone. The device code you're looking for is d2att, i.e. this is the download page you'd want.
Of course, you might want to root the device first (the most applicable image for your device would probably be the Rogers one), and put a new recovery image on there - I suggest TWRP for that, though if you're used to CWM that's certainly an option as well.
Welcome to the wide world of the S3, and have fun!
If you want AOSP / AOKP get Task650 Roms. Hes has a 100% perfect 4.1.2, and a great stable 4.2.1 ROM out. Check in original android. Been using it for a long long time on both the S3's in our household and everyones super happy. Super fast and no crashes or problems. TW was just too slow.
His Rom's are for AT&T.

AT&T's model is the exact same as the Bell, Rogers (and Fido), and Telus
Man you guys are all so welcoming with the wonderful links. Thank you so much.
So im surprised no one else has chimmed in as a new fido owner. I must say their cost is a little high for the phone which might be the reason why. 250$ on a 2 year plan for a phone that is free most elsewhere aint cheap. Luckily for me I got a great deal on it (44$ total cost!)
Does anyone have some warranty related info or links they could send me? I have read about an hours worth and cant seem to gather a clear picture. From what I can tell theres are three methods to rooting this device.
Also, any info on what to backup in order not to brick this phone?
This phone is quite a bit more work than the Nexus I had earlier. None the less I am pretty sure ill have tons of fun!

Looks like I will be tripping the flash counter no matter what I do accoding to the first link. Have there been any further developements since that post was written? Warranty is a concern of mine with this phone as its quite pricey!

LMAO. Touchwiz is complete garbage and really slows the S3 down. I used it for a couple of weeks and could not stand all the Samsung bloat and the Samsung replacement apps (phone, messaging, etc.).
Wiped it and I'm running CM 10.1 nightly (1/13) and the phone is a beast now. Super fast, with the best possible UI, i.e. the way Android is meant to be!
Yes there are a few bugs but they're nothing major and at this point CM 10.1 is definitely good enough to be a daily driver. DO NOT hesitate to drop TW crap for CM!
Hello everyone I have seen a few post of people looking for Kitkat, Note3 and S5 Roms that work with our phone! Check out AT&T Note2 and N7105 threads to find some awesome Roms that work with our phone Just make sure you follow instructions in original post completely due to you have to flash certain things to make wifi work and add apns, modems etc! Hope this helps

I'm relatively new to the rooting scene, about a month, but I've learned a lot and am having a blast getting the most out of my SGH-T889. So far, after having test driven Slim Rom, several Jedi roms, Carbon, Pac Man and several others, I've settled on Jedi X20 as my favorite overall rom due to the fact that I love multi-window and installing to sd card. I like the battery efficiency, smooth look and floating notifications of KitKat though and would love to have some of the Note 3 features available.
Can you give any tips for making it a smoother experience if I want to try what you guys are suggesting? Specific apks/flashes to look for for modem /apn/feature downloads/links? I'm not afraid of reading and teaching myself, but some help in cutting down the searching time would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!! :good:
I've searched for easycat v2 in both the n7105 forum and the at&t forum and can't seem to find it. Mind posting a link?
Its called eZkat 2.0 in the at&t forum

Jedi Roms were my go to rom for a very long time. Try a custom kernel. Below link is in the Note 2 7105 model. Try Agni kernel,there is a jellybean and a kitkat kernel. Do not flash anything for the "Note 2 N7100" is if for Non-LTE phones. Only flash zips for the N7105 the LTE version.
This can give you 20+ hours of battery life on jellybean. I using it on Kitkat now and its awseome.
Cheers.

Been running ezKAT v2 for more than a month now. It is outstanding. All the note 3 features and it is stable. Same as mentioned above, I installed foldermount and sdcardfix and ALL features (including installing to SD card) work flawlessly. Absolutely love it.
Thanks for the help guys. Rooting is the Shiznit! Can't wait to try Android L when it lands, but have a feeling I'll end up coming back to ezKat. I'll just make a full backup first so I can easily restore if I wish. Easy peasy!

Does ezKat support wifi calling for t-mobile? I'm looking for a ROM that can support multi-window and wifi calling. I was leaning toward the Jedi Master but have seen these threads about N3 features and some look really nice. I don't have any experience rooting phones, but I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty as I've done the equivalent to a few different types of devices. Thanks in advance for the help!

I don't use ezkat but i dont think it supports wifi calling that tmobile offers. But, now that google hangouts allows calling within the app, you can make calls using your gvoice number direct from the app as long as you are connected to the internet. It's the same as wifi calling except that you will be using your gvoice number instead of your t-mobile number.

I think as long as you choose any of the t-mobile TW roms, you will get wifi calling. I think the JEDIX is probably the best out there.

Thank you very much. Which one? I have read about Jedi X20 and Jedi Master X2. There's so much information out there that it's hard to cut through. Thanks again for the help.
Use the Master X2 as that is the latter. Both will have wifi calling but I think X20 is 4.1 while X2 is 4.3.

Thank you! I'll give it a shot. BTW, can you point me to the best/most recent guide for rooting/flashing/etc the t889? I've been reading for days and there are so many pages and threads around the internet about various iterations of the Note 2 that choosing one is almost a stab in the dark. Tons of forum threads come up that are outdated, but there's not really a way to tell they're outdated except maybe by the post/update date. I really appreciate your help, and I'm sure anyone that will be searching for the same guidance in the near future will appreciate it too.:good:

So...
I re-joined under a new login due to problems with the space in my previous screen name, but I digress...
Soooo... EzKat was the first "Note 3" rom I tried for the Note 2 and it was awesome to basically have a Note 3 in a Note 2 for a while. But.... after having test driven EzKAt for a while, I found it to have some issues. First of all, it was kind of quiet, so it could be hard to hear other people and the camera wasn't great - in fact, it kind of sucked. The home button didn't function correctly, it would give an error, that "this function is not installed" or something like that - I don't recall the exact wording right now, but you get the gist. And lastly, it was not super stable - I would have to reboot the phone at least once a day.
So, after a month or so, I took the advice of others and started looking for 7105 roms. I found reviews of the DN3 (Ditto Note 3) and I downloaded it. Unfortunately there was mixed information about whether 7105 roms actually worked on the SGH-T889 (TMOBILE NOTE2). So I was skeptical about trying it. Eventually I decided to try it out. The first time I tried flashing it, it failed with an error, and I was like, "well, that sucked" guess they were wrong, 7105 roms DON'T work with this!" and I installed a CM11 rom instead.
After driving that for a month and doing some more reading, I finally decided that I must have done something wrong because it seemed that at least a COUPLE people had successfully managed to get 7105 roms running on the TMOBILE Note 2. So, I redownloaded the Ditto Note 3 rom, recopied it to my phone, recopied the old Modem - "T889UVUCMK7_Modem-Dec_9_13" and my favorite kernel "PSN_AGNi_pureSTOCK-v4.2.5_N7105_4.4.2_AROMA-signed"
I flashed the rom - successfully - without rebooting, flashed the modem. Then rebooted, just long enough to make sure WIFI was working - rebooted into recovery and flashed kernel.
That was two weeks ago. Since then I've not had to reboot the phone one time. It is ROCK solid stable. Loud and clear. Camera is FANTASTIC!!! Action shots of my kid skateboarding are crystal clear and in focus every time!! One of my favorite things is, because its an an international rom for the 7105 - the Google chick is this hot sounding British babe!! I love it every morning when she tells me the weather! LoL!! But seriously, I am really really happy with the Ditto 3 rom. So, now I know for sure, 7105 roms (at least this one!) DO actually work on the SGH-T889.
So, I hope this helps someone else out that was as confused as I was. Good luck everyone!! :good:

Any love for KK kernels?
I figured I would try asking here since it is sort of relevant.
Besides the AGNi kernel, I have not been able to find other KK kernels that work with our T889s. I don't know if it is the kernel itself or a setting but there is a glitch when listening to music that causes a high pitch screeching sound to cut out the music.
Greetings, I was wondering has everyone left the Samsung galaxy epic 4g touch? I still have one, I love it. Its not over huge, it works well, and suits the need of size. why I am writing this is question is .. is anyone going to do further builds besides CM. I am not found of the CM mods seems to drain the battery alot. ( nothing personal). I know that the os/Rom 5.0 lollypop just came out.. I have not seen any new decent rom/os since jb27. Why?.. Honestly I cant afford to get a new phone every-time a new one comes out.. I don't run on standard networks. I use a off major company service.. I like spending only 30.00 a month for service. so i was wondering is there anyone out there doing anymore builds for this model ???/
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Tash
Yeah dude. I know dastin (he builds cm) also maintains dirty unicorn. And we also have liquid smooth maintained by mgbt300? (I forget his exact name RN) and lastly we have vanir and commotio. All these ROMs are kit Kat too. And we'll hopefully be getting lollipop. We have awesome developers.
Yeah, I hope someone else who does these roms/os does build something.. and thanks for replying to me.. apologies for posting in wrong area..

Try one of the stock mods. They avoid the battery drain/lockup that 4.x experience.
There has been a fix released for CM11 trim/fpbug fix kernel. It works and I use it but the battery still isn't quite as nice as stock + tweaks.
Hey guys, I wanted to start on a build of LineageOS for the Samsung S6/Samsung S6 Edge that supports ALL variants (yes, including Sprint) since I notice that there is no one willing to put in a build for the device (Which is pretty much disappointing). Anyone have any idea where I can start? I don't have any extra devices lying around my house unfortunately so I can't exactly run tests on the builds without running them on my main (which poses a risk of completely messing up my phone like last time ).

Thanks for the reply! I just took a quick glance at it and it does indeed seem to be what I want.. But I'm wondering if it runs on the Sprint variant of the Samsig S6 Edge.
