From VZW GN2 -> TMO GN2 Questions.. - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

Hey all... Long time listener first time caller in the TMO forums in a legit question.
I just grabbed a TMO GN2 and am migrating from a JellyBeans 14 w/Saberkernel 21 SCH-I605.
Biggest question is (NON-Subjective) what ROM is most similar to the JB 14 version? I would prefer to flash a TMO Based rom in order to not have WiFi calling or modem flashing issues and I sadly am a bit of a fan of TouchWiz.... (But I can easily be swayed).
What do you folks think is a good replacement for JB 14 now that i'm on a retail tmo GN2?

If you want wifi calling use a root injected stock honestly.

Running Jedi X Master with Saber kernel 23. Overall performance is great on the device and also on cellular and wifi.
Doesn't benchmark as well as JellyBeans 14 with Saber 21 nor does it *feel* quite as responsive. But overall it's a great alternative

No the phone came with 4.1.1 and my question is for stock factory 4.2 and / or 4.1.2 rooting and custom roms always have something that doesnt work and this is the first factory rom I didnt feel the need to change . I just dont understand why its taking so long to even get 4.1.2 when all other carriers already have it. I heard some tmo employee on here say jan 19 wed get 4.1.2 and still nothing.
Never understood difference from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 to 4.2 o.o

After a lot of reading and much consideration, I rooted my Note 2 a few days ago.
I can tell you the Custom ROM I decided to use, Jedi X9, is much better than stock, faster, more fluid and tons of extra features.
I over clocked the note to 1800 MHz using ROM Toolbox Pro.
The Quadrant scores went up to 7700 from 6300 stock. Antutu Bench Mark went to 19300 from 18100.
With 4.1.2 update, you get to have the posted notes in the Calendar.
With the custom ROM you get 23 Toggles, more menus and settings you can change.
You can do Multi Windows any APK and also have the Transparent Multi-Windows.
The browser is lots faster.
I also was able to delete the stock Youtube and install the custom Youtube APK that lets you play full
720p videos.
Lots more things to mention.
Best part is everything works and no hick ups what so ever.
So if that is what is stoping you, take it from me, it works 150 percent better than stock.
And if you do not like it, you can go back to stock and leave no trace like if nothing ever happened.
Hope that helps you some :good:.

Switching from N7100 need a good stock rom?

Hello Tmo community. So I have decided to switch from my N7100 to the T889 because I use to much data for AT&T mvnos. Switching to tmo but I have been looking over the forums and it looks like most of the roms for the T889 are running 4.2.2 based on cm10. I need spen support, I use netflix and hulu, and use the multiwindow mod for all phone apps quite a bit. I was reading that asop aokp and cm10 roms dont have spen support and 4.2 has some driver issues that diesnt allow netflix and some other programs to work. I also read the multiwindow for your variant crashes the phone a lot. If anybody can recommend a stable stock based rom with the above things working if there is one available I would appreciate the help. Thanks again.

I'm very interested in your experience with battery life. I recently migrated from the N7100 to the T889 and I notice a significant difference in battery life, the N7100 seems much better. I'm temped to go back because because TMobile in my area has the same data speeds as ATT but the ATT coverage is much better.
I'm using this rom with the Saber Kernel and am undervolted.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2150145
I'll let you know I just got it today and plan on switching from Att back to Tmo Saturday. I used to get awesome battery life with wanam lite and red pill kernel.

TMO Wifi calling

So if I were to move away from Twiz, and try say PACman rom, could I still get the WIFI calling app? I kinda need it while at home because I get little service and it's the main reason I switched to TMO

So any rom with Twiz?
Darn, kind of a shame. Is it in the framework or something? No way to port it over??? I know it's early since the release, but Would you know of a JB based Twiz rom that's debloated and running stable/fast? I'm still getting used to all the new ROM options. (Back in my EVO days we only had Sense and AOSP.)

Think so. It's as fast or faster with aggressive memory mgmt going on. Very smooth jb4.1.2 rom. Which was the last rom tmo included wifi-calling in.
As far as I've been able to find out, tmo has used two different implementations of wifi-calling. The first was a spaghetti code type of deal that still drives developers nuts; the second was a very good modularized implementation done by a very knowledgeable contractor based on open source code.
By the time the contract was up, the developer had developed the code so far beyond the available open source code, they felt justified in charging for it's use and further development. TMo balked at this saying they're not making enough money to justify that.
So, the current situation is that the nice modular code cannot be further developed without royalties and the spaghetti code is something that developers aren't willing to deal with.
Mind you, all this is off the top of my memory from internet searching on the topic. I'm sure I've got some of the details wrong; but, that should give you the gist of the situation.
If you search the Whitehawxx (WH) jb-aokp thread for: wifi-calling; you'll find his position on the matter. In case you or any one else is reading this post don't know, WH is a well respected, knowlegeable, dilligent developer whom we're lucky to have working on hercules. His opinion is highly regarded by many.
YMMV, good luck to you sir. :cyclops:

Guide to specific compatible rom ?

I use the Galaxy Note 2 I 317 on T Mobile I would really like to try some different roms weather AT&T or t-mobile roms but I need the wifi calling feature I know one of th3 T Mobile ROMs was incorporated with the AT&T note 2, and it has wifi calling working which is what I'm using currently but it is pretty basic 4.1 .2 build.
Does anybody know of any tmobile or att built roms that have the wifi call feature incorporated that I can flash on the i317 that will give me the wifi calling feature unfortunately I rely on that because of poor coverage in my area
I'm guessing the roms are probably probably if any going to be t mobile base roms I know you can pretty much flash anything onto the I 317 from t-mobile as far as I have read but I was curious about the radio and modem part of it
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
Most Rom's don't include the modem!!!! But when flashing a Rom the OP should state that this Rom is compatible across many devices!
And yes if you mix match the wrong modem with your phone you'll end up with a boot loop:banghead:! Fyi
There's a few AT&T Rom's that a few TMO users have tried and work great.
I'm running SKY NOTE on both my AT&T & TMO GN2 with no problems. And GW set-up on both of them.

I understand but what im looking for is a tmobile rom that flashes fine with wifi calling or an att rom that was rebuilt with t mobile wifi calling. All I want is a rom that has wifi calling wethwr is att rebuilt or t mobile based . That will flash to the i317.
I know of one its just stock t889-i317 with the wifi calling Built 4.1.2 but its plain jane.
No matter how much I google oe look under and development for eqch forum I cant pinpoint one rom that has this.
Thus why im asking outright as a question.
This is all temporarily until I can trade for a branded t889

TMO Note 2 Dev support slowly dying?

It's like a ghost town around our parts these days. CM 10.2 last updated over a month ago, Jedi longer than that, and no real CM 11 support. I checked out CM support for my previous phone Galaxy s2 and they have CM11 and nightlies. Are we the Jon Snow of the galaxy note 2s?

I flashed AGNi kernel for the n7105 and its very stable and I'm getting all day awesome battery life on 4.3 bootloader and 4.3 rom.
I have not flashed any roms for the n1705 or ATT yet as flashing them needs modem flash and I think has higher risk of bricking or loosing 4g. So untill I see a great tutorial on how to flash n7105 or ATT roms, I'll stick with my stock rooted xposed Note 2.

That's some good information I'll have to try some of those. We're only about 6 months away from (in theory) from the Note 4. I know typically TMO phones get the least amount of attention I wonder what the Dev support for the TMO Note 4 will be
I think there will still be dev for awhile but with each new android update it seems battery life gets worse. With 4.1 I could get 5 hours screen time, with 4.3 I get 3.5 and with 4.4 I get maybe 3

Seems that some guys are having issues with DN3 and it requiring a modem flash choice of i317 or an N7105 modem. Not terribly straightforward for folks not on either device.

DN3 is the only thread Ive read for t889 and thought all other roms also needed a modem flash.
This opens up a new set of possibilities.

kitkat seems to be lighter and faster. but im speaking purely on the basis of running it from CM and Slim. Plus hopefully the camera bugs will get resolved that are present on KK (not sure if it has been fixed already) when it officially comes out for our devices. It's sad but development has slowed down for our awesome phone But i am running slim weeklys. and im impressed. but it still bugs out on the camera at times which i dont like but besides that its buttery smooth. non of that samsung junk
I 100% agree our phone is awesome the difference between the 2 and 3 isn't that much which is why I didn't upgrade. At the time development was good CM was rocking and now the Note 2 from a Dev perspective is like There is a note 2 TMO? I know you can flash other note 2 roms but I'm not gonna
