Ok confused... LK8 vs. Ma5? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

Allright guys I have rooted every android phone I have had. I have never felt as lost as I do right now. I was following a thread that was a stock rooted Samsung ROM based off LJC which I installed when I rooted. Suddenly that thread is MIA. I now see tons of posts about Ma5 and LK8 but almost no ROMs built off LJC.
First questions wth is Ma5?
Second If I originally did a stock update to LJC do I really need whatever is in Ma5?
Third from what I understand there has been no official release of the LK8 software update correct?
Finally why would I want to update to LK8/Ma5?
Thanks so much,
Adan

Re: Ok confused... LK8 vs. MAC?
Not sure where you saw mac but MA5 is the most recent leak released by sextape and garwynn has posted one clicks. I've updated each time a release is posted and have been happy with the improvements over the previous. The most recent and most important update to MA5 was the exynos abuse exploit fix. There are several ROM's in the dev thread based off of LJC.
Hope this helped a bit.

Re: Ok confused... LK8 vs. MAC?
LK8 and MA5 are leaked buids of android 4.1.2 by Samsung. LCJ is the latest official build released by Samsung and Sprint. LCJ is android version 4.1.1. Its up to you if you want to give this leaked builds a try. They include new features but may have small bugs. Personally I flashed MA5 and its workings great for me, better than LK8.

Thanks guys i wanted to make sure i wasnt missing a update. I had a bad run in with leaked software awhile back and havent really wanted to try any since. You are saying the Ma5 leak is better is there any big differences worth jumping on?
Thanks again,
Adan

I'm just a flash junkie who likes to be up to date and like the fact that this leak fixes the exploit I mentioned. Try for yourself and see. Garwynn has posted several optional oc's and you can always revert back to sammy's official ljc.

I can personally say that data speeds are faster with ma5. Also, if you are into benchmarks and such, I scored over 7000 with quadrant running danwebbs sourced ma5 stock rom.

All of this sounds awesome and all, but what kind of errors are there going to be if flashing back to LJC?

Running stock ljc rooted. I can just run the update.zip without a data loss can't I? Would rather not start from scratch.

In twrp, I cleared system, flashed modem. Cleared cache and dalvik, flashed ma5 rom, cache again, flashed modem again, caches again, reboot.
No data or app loss.
Everyone says do a full wipe but I came from stock deodexed ljc... no point to full wipe plus I had a nandroid... :/
Worked fine.
Pretty sure you can flash the modem no problem... just clear cache and dalvik after.

As far as I know, it works brilliantly on both ljc and lk8.

MA5 with the Perseus alpha32 kernel is rock-solid and FAST. I get consistent 7000-7200 scores with Quadrant, and Google Wallet works flawlessly on this firmware/modem/ROM release. Now, if Sprint would just deliver the LTE tower I have on backorder...

Well, thanks anyway for thinking of us.
The question is who can deodex this and not break market I tried one by Whitehawkx and then tried deodexing it myself and ended up FCs on swype and samsung keyboard plus broken market
this is old. but the question should be is there a rooted version deodexed
I was forced via OTA to install. Only bug I had after install was bootloop. so i factory reset, wiped cache and davlik and rebooted.
after that i used the Samsung Galaxy S II Toolkit Beta V2.3 from ajster1989. (thanks dude!!! works great!!!) flashed recovery and then rooted.
all seems to be working fine since yesterday. No market FC. Restored all my apps with Titanium and still no issues or FCs.
Running on stock kernel.
Now waiting for ICS on 6/11/2012 install from TMO.

DDW is tweaked and debloated (among other things). The best thing the UVLDE update has to offer is the update to the Qualcomm chipset drivers...otherwise it's mostly just another official gingerbread firmware.
I wouldn't suggest doing any official updates from any unofficial firmware. If you want to do the official updates I'd recommend using Odin to return your phone to 100% official firmware before allowing any official update to be applied via Kies or OTA. I personally always use Odin or CWM recovery to apply all firmwares. I don't trust in-place upgrades to install without problems.

How do you update to the latest build or baseband number?

New E4GT user here. I'm rooted and on EL29, what is the latest build or baseband number and how do you update to it?
I want to update to Jelly Bean, but I understanding that with this phone, you can't just flash any ROM you want, correct? It has to "match" your build or baseband number?

Latest "Official" OTA Thread by RWilco - No root and rooted links.
Latest stock Leak thread by RWilco Best stock leak imo..
As far as JB builds go, my only suggestion is to read each thread of the rom that interests you in it's entirety. Mixed reviews and different issues, different ways of flashing.. etc..
baseband = modem - mix and match to find the best performance for you and your phone. You can run a ICS generation modem on a GB build, and vice versa.
Check out the op in the Modem Repository by RWilco. How to flash and all the links provieded there.
Build and kernel match (usually) based on the rom. Just follow the Op's instructions on the rom thread. read for any issues etc.
Thanks for the great info!
So, when I flash a new ROM, does it comes with a matching kernel and baseband? I'm still a bit confusing about that.
Most or all Roms come with kernel, some, if you use Odin will include modem. I usually double check and flash the modem that I want via cwm...
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Depending on the dev of the rom.
Yes, most include a kernel in a custom rom since it is the easiest way to keep what they build to an error free environment.
You may find a custom "rom only" but that is rare.
Stock roms (vendor leaked or "official" ) you will find complete sets in one clicks and tars. Then, usually, you will find it in separate pieces in the reference section. In Rwilcos posts, they are found in post 2.
With your goal of going to JB, you dont have to go to the latest stock.
You can go to a custom recovery, like el26 cwm or a safe Agat recovery, and try out a JB build. There are several good ones in the dev section.

I'm on PA2.1 and its definitely daily driver worthy idk what JB roms you've seen that aren't. Everything I'm PA works like it should and its based off of sbrissens aosp and phantomphreaks cm10 vendor trees. Which would make both of those roms just as stable if not more so than PA, and aokp JB is based off the same vendor trees so it should be just as good.

Remember to just keep it simple, "New E4GT user here" you should sample some ics and see how that works for you and understand how to go back to your "original state"before you go into jb territory being that ics thought not perfect yet has more stability than jb at the present. Like Mo said read and reread before you take the plunge.

I've been using PhantonPfreek's CM10 ROM for a week now. While not perfect yet, it is a Daily Driver. Most of the major bugs have been handled. currently Bluetooth and headset volune is a problem. This ROM is very close to becoming an official CM rom according to Phantom. i came over from AOKP Mil6. This ROM is its equal. Of course JB features added icing to the cake. I'd say have at it. just make sure that you are on a safe kernal to flash from.

No need to flash a modem. Clean install first, then just flash the rom and flash gapps. I'm currently running Jelly Beer. :good:

Yea, I just asked someone in the Jellybeer thread if I had to worry about that, or flash a modem, or kernel. To be on the safe side.... if so, Mmm..... back on AOSP, is going to feel so good. Lol

I too am running jellybeer and it is great it will do for now till whitehawkx and cmenard relese a nice shiny new AOKP rom for us (fingers crossed) it has some AOKP features in it. All I have to say is read read read and when you are done and think you got it read again. All the info is in the the first few posts of a rom thread. just make sure that there is no modem mostr devs do not include a modem but I have notices a few that are starting to put one in so just watch if they do they usually say so because like I said it is not standard pratice.
I do have a question I have not flashed any touchwiz att roms only the unofficial cm10 and jellybeer. So on the TW roms do you have to flash o tmo kernel? The reason I ask is because on the s2 the main difference was the rotation. It was always messed up so the way to fix it was to use a tmo kernel or vice versa . Until someone made a .zip that fixed that and the device name in the build.prop so is that the same situation here.. It doesnt sound like it.
And one m ore question while I am here I posted a question in the q&A thread if anyone knows the proper lcd density. I dont like the way jellybeer is it has small fonts on the phone but everything in the market is way too big and it is driving me nutts.

That i dont know, all the note II has the same hardware, correct me if im wrong. so i dont know if flashing a tmo note II kernel with a Att TW rom will work. but CleanRom is using Persus, and i think Tmo N2 has Persus kernel, so maybe it will work
Here it is guys, i took the risks with my heart pounding every second when it was installing and booting
Using CleanRom by scrosler, here is the link
I flashed the rom, in aroma, i choosed ATT as the carrier and persus kernel, then the rest is pretty self explanatory
then i flashed Tmo modem and Tmo Persus Kernel
it booted and it is running, i powered it off and took out the battery to test if it will power back on again, and indeed it did
Clean rom works perfectly without a flaw.. no need to install any kernel,modem or anything .

You don't need to unroot, you just need to be on a TW rom for prl and profile update. To update modems(radios) just find a zip you can flash in recovery.
