Will I ever be able to use a custom ROM? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I love my note 2 and as with all the android devices I have used I want to use custom ROMs. However because I have an allshare cast dongle which I use regularly custom ROMs are not an option. I have not been able to find a single one that works with it. I have rooted and can get it to work with triangle away but not using a custom ROM.
Will there ever be a ROM that works with it? Or should I just give up with the allshare cast dongle?

[Q] Tether Options

Greetings,
I'm currently rooted with my Sprint Galaxy S2, however the tether option isn't working. I'm using the ROM here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1609255) on my phone. Can anyone shed some light on this one? Just not available in this ROM or what?
Thanks,

Wired or wireless tethering? And to what?

Easy Tueffel. You can use the Foxfi (market) or Wifi Tether (search it) apps. If you use Wifi Tether, set the device profile to Samsung Galaxy nexus (CDMA/LTE).

I believe that you flashed a stock rooted rom that does not include the hacked tethering apps.
You may want to consider switching back to Gingerbread if you're just starting out.
Here are the steps for that:

After that, you can flash a custom rom with wifi tethering already hacked.
Edit: The rom you downloaded is ICS based. If you're just learning about flashing your phone, you may want to switch over to Gingerbread based roms using the instructions I provided. It is far safer for a newbie NOT to try ICS until they're ready.
I'm currently running this GB Rom:

I wouldn't recommend trying to flash it directly unless you use the method above to get on the correct platform first. ICS and Gingerbread are different operating systems.

[Q] How To Get Flash Video Working?

Hi there,
I'm a new Galaxy Note 2 owner, and have had the privilege of learning how to root, and install custom roms from this wonderful forum. That said, I've installed the latest International Rom (ROM Type 2 A.K.A. BLUE MODS ROM - [ROM][12/5][N7105XXDLK7 4.1.2] International Stock ROM for i317 and i317M) on my device, and everything works great except for Adobe Flash enabled pages.
As Flash is no longer supported, there are work arounds by installing downloaded AdobeFlash.APK files. I've confirmed this works on my rooted STOCK ROM. However, when I try and install on this custom International Rom, it won't allow it, as there is already a newer version loaded as part of the ROM package.
I successfully deleted the Adobe Flash System file using Super Manager. But the Flash.APK file would still not install. Any ideas as to how to get around this problem?
Consequently, the same webpage on my Iphone plays fine as it is leverages HTML5/mp4 video I believe. Is there any way to get the Android browser (Standard, Chrome, Firefox) to emulate the Safari browser? I read something about switching to "Iphone User Agent".
Thanks for your help in advance!
You could flash to Scott's CleanRom. I can confirm Flash Player works there. I know that's not the answer you wanted, but its a simple solution and CleanRom is an excellent ROM. Also, get the newest build of the Persues kernel

You read my mind! I was about to test CleanRom next. It looks amazing. I tried Jedi, and I noticed it was missing the Samsung Sync Backup. Does CleanRom keep this intact? Any idea as to whether CleanRom supports international languages for S - Pen and Keyboard? That was one of the primary reasons I tried this international port. The Chinese Handwriting is amazing.
Thanks again for your insight!

When you say side load, do you mean download the APK onto the device and then try and install from My Folders? I have successfully done this in my Stock Rom, but am unable to do so with this Custom Rom as there appears to be a higher versioned Flash already installed.
Thanks

I was referring to ROM or (kernal I think)?
I think he's refering to firmware. I have the stock one and everything is fine, but u can try Infamous too.
Im running the infamous ROM as it is the only custom one ATM I'm hoping some other ROMs get developed I don't want this to be a DOA tablet even though the features are not great and there is more of cosmetic change in this over actual power.

ScreenMirroring won't work properly

Hey guys!
I have a Sony Bravia KDL-42W655A television and it's able to do ScreenMirroring. But my Note 2 won't connect to it. If I choose my TV from the list it tries to connect but it's failing. With my Note 10.1 and a friend's S4 it works perfect. What could be wrong?
Pozdrav

Let me guess... the S4 and the 10.1 were stock? Maybe your custom ROM has some issues with screen mirroring. Go to your ROMs dedicated thread and make sure that the OP doesn't say anything about screen mirroring issues. Also make a thread search for screen mirroring and see maybe other users had the same issue. If all these fails, ask the guys there if they know anything about it. Maybe it's a bug.
Nope not quite right. Note 10.1 is rooted and has a Samsung based Stock Rom. S4 is stock and unrooted. I tried Wanams and now Hurricane Rom neither nor worked. I tried it on Android 4.1.2 and 4.3 both rooted Samsung stock roms

4.1.1 custom ROM

Hello,
I recently needed an emulation machine for work. So I took my old note 2 rooted it and downgraded it to 4.1.1 so I could connect my wiimotes (the main purpose of this) for said emulators. As you all know I'm sure the Bluetooth stack is missing the protocol for this connection type. In 4.2+
My question is.....is there anyway to make a custom ROM for the note 10.1 2014 edition that is based on 4.1.1?
Thanks.

Did you try with Xluco's kernel ? it has written to have the ability to support Wii Controller ( If it worked , let me know , because I'm cooking Prime V5 and It's also going to have the Wii Controller support too ) .. I'm waiting eagerly for you'r results

I'm gonna sound like a noob. But to be honest kernels are the things I never screwed with. Do i just flash this with twrp?
It's got the rooted 5.1.1 fw on it and just to clarify it's the SP600
I've got everything I need here (including the Kernel I downloaded) at work so.....
Okay so I flashed the kernel using twrp and unfortunately the wiimotes would not connect using blue IME or the old Wiimote Controller app.
Is there something I'm missing or does it just not work for me?

So , I guess It means that the drivers are not compatible or maybe even not working at all ... If it's possible , flash a 4.4.2 TW stock ROM and try this kernel HERE ( If you're currently on 5.1.1 you need to flash a stock ROM using Odin ) ... this kernel I provide you is one of Xluco's KK kernels ... I'll wait for you'r results then ... Good luck

Re did everything. Installed 4.4.2 and the kernel you mentioned and it still does not work with either application.
Error: bt socket connection failed
Is there a difference between stock and TW stock cuz I installed fresh stock then rooted it and installed that kernel
Regardless of whether TW stock is TouchWiz
I installed a 4.4.2 TW stock rom with root and installed the same kernel. Still nothing.
I don't know what I'm talking about here but is it really this difficult? I'm know it is to some degree, but how has this not been rectified a million times over?
Lost cause then?
Thanks to everyone who accomplishes these things and a massive thanks to the people who make the things we use to do these things...lol

Well , I'm Sorry to say that but , I guess there's no solution for getting the Wiimote to work on you're TAB ( Actually , XBOX & PS remotes are all accepted with Xluco's or even my kernel ) But , as you can see in many other threads , It seems like currently there's no way ... Don't worry MAN , I personally don't have a Wiimote let's just take it easy ... just enjoy the latest TW ROM with Prime V4 ( actually , V5 is in it's way !! )
With Best Wishes

Well damn. I guess I'll just have to use my note 2 with the tv out.....no sound though.
Thanks. And I'll definitely install they new prime v5
