Seems Google+ not support Note 8?

Is Note 8.0 is too new for some app compatibility?
Google+ , Goggle, Up...
Anyone could give suggestion?

Can you be more specific on your problems? All the Google apps I've tried, including Google+, work just fine for me.

The Chinese stock ROM does NOT support apps that depend on google service. So google+, gmail, drive... all NOT available in that ROM.
You can flash a Taiwan version stock ROM or ROM for other countries. There are some known issues if you just flash the gapps to the Chinese stock ROM, eg, google map won't tell where you are...

Chinese Note 8
Hi,
I'm also stuck with the Mainland China Version of the Note 8, besides being not able to use google.play and other google stuff it seems to be a bit slow on lot of other things.
I tried to replace the chinese version with other ROM's , but sofar it alsways failed when it came to loading/writing modem.bin.
Luckily sofar I was able to recover the unit via Kies.
What I did :
1.download of another stock rom i.e. german
2. install Odin 3 , run it as admin
3. connect the Note to an Windows 7 pc , USB driver works
4. follow the various instructions found here
5. also tried the Note 8 toolkit
6. everything looks fine until it reaches the modem.bin file.
7. failed .....
Also tried it with rooting the Note 8 first via the toolkit
For good order sake pls note the following : Model Number GT-N5100
Android Version 4.1.2
Baseband Version N5100ZCBMD2
Kernel Version 3.0.31-1087838
Build Number JZO54K.N5100ZCBMD2
Any suggestion what else to do ? Or which Rom to use ?
Tks
Henning

You can try this one. Simply copy it to internal SD and flash it with CWM recovery.
I'm not the owner of this ROM. I think it is based on the rooted ROM published here earlier.
OH... I'm too new to publish a outside link... try use baidu.com and search for " 新欧版rom（奥地利 3 Hutchison通讯）汉化修改版发布！！！" ... Hope this helps...

it works
Hi,
thanks for that tipp. Finally I made it work

Internet access
Hi,
that was a bit premature : the statement it works. Basically it does, however I can't get any data transmission work when not connected to wifi.
Using the phone as a phone is ok, Internet access does not, it says "No network connection available"
With WiFi no problem
Has this something to do with the non chinese Firmware ? Which I would find a bit odd since I never had any problem with importet phones in china sofar.
Anybody has a clue ?
Tks

[Q] EFS lost after installing Phoenix ROM...Help!

Hi all
I am new to Samsung galaxy note 2( But not to custom ROMS) ... Wanted to install Phoenix ROM but didnt release there would be a thing called EFS backup. I think I screwed up my Note 2 now. Installed a european version of Samsung rom,but my sim is still not being identified . I am getting a different IMEI number than the one mentioned below the battery. Is there a way to fix this? If I Install the latest Indian ROM would that resolve the issue? Please let me know! I need this phone like hell!

look for some thread by a user called drkeaton in the same forum section I think it's heading is along these lines ROOT GUIDE TO NOTE II FLASHING or RECOVERING IMEI just along these lines it's a very nice guide or just contact him via private message and he may send you the web link directly don't do anything stupid before you go through his guide else you may loose your phone calling section and data connection capability forever

porting note 3 to note 2

can this be done using the a flashable note 3 rom ?
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23159073880932541

Well i am not developer
But.i really wonder that what happens if note 3 rom flashed to note 2..
The leaked rom of 4.3 of note 2 has old kernel. So note applications are falling when its ported.probably because of old kernel.
But my question is what happens if note 3 rome is directly flashed to note 2..

I'm also not a dev. And I wondered that too. Then I thought... if that was even possible someone would have already done it by now, right? Still, maybe we all wait for someone to try it... So, feeling courageous? Go ahead and let us know if that worked. But don't blame me if u get ur device bricked or something.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

Obviously you can't flash the note3 rom to note2 without modifying it. If it would even flash, your device would get bricked by the note3 kernel.
In the end, this is a question/answer thread. Please someone move it to the proper section or close it. No development going on here.

Ok, I actually have been trying to port a N3 ROM over to N2 with no success. I have very limited time, a crashed hard disk and no Internet at home. If anyone is interested, I can upload (in maybe a few days - no net at home ) a half-baked port that just about gives the N3 boot sound and gets stuck at the Samsung text boot animation. I haven't gotten a logcat from it too, so its more like shooting in the dark.
Even if you are not interested in my half-baked port and want to start afresh, note that the /system partition's size in the N3 is pretty different. You'll either have to try a .PIT that gives you ~3GB to the /system or go my way of chopping down on the /system's contents to fit it to N2's default partitions...

I tried flashing ROMs based on the leak, and my Note 2 gets as far as the boot screen, where it starts to vibrate in a Morse code type pattern. I'm thinking combining one of the ROMs with a different kernel will get something started...

After you get stuck in the repeated vibrating pattern, reboot to recovery and head to /data/logs - pull the latest tar log (by UTC time) and go through the txt it contains - you will have the kernel log, logcat and all that you need to debug.
My mistake was I downloaded an incomplete dump that is missing part of the framework. Will try again with a different base when I get the time.

Awesome! So even after a battery pull, this information will still show on the log? A battery pull is my only way out after this happens. I'll give it a try!

I need to add that I'm using a T-Mobile Note 2 (SGH-T889).

I do think that it's nearly impossinle, dur to the difference in resolution and width between N2 and N3 even if it boots up it will look distorded, and also is the N2 missing sensors that the N3 has..
some of the apk's are working on the leaked 4.3 firmware, i think u should help in getting the air command working properly, it's working but no icons, the thread is over in the apps section

That is not a problem. We have seen ports from different resolutions in the past. We may have to change the resolution of png files in the drawables for some apk.
That said - and this is for all members - THIS IS A DEV DISCUSSION. UNLESS YOU ARE ATTEMPTING TO PORT THE ROM OR DO SOME DEV STUFF, PLEASE DO NOT POST HERE. USE THE GENERAL FORM INSTEAD. Hope you understand the importance of keeping a dev thread uncluttered.
@sabrdawg - yes, you pull the logs after battery pull (or holding down power-vol up-home to reboot into recovery. And I am using the N7100 leaked 4.3 as a base and N9005 stock to port. I am not sure if the T889 will work with the N7100's firmware - if it does not and if you cannot get the 4.3 leak to work on your phone you should hold back (unless you first port the N7100's leak to your device).
My porting attempts or on hold. The base ROM I picked (n a whole bunch of them I checked) are having problems with missing files in the framework. I have used up my monthly internet quota in my 3G and also the add-on pack's quota (and do not have internet at home ). Whoever is attempting a port, please download a full ROM from sammobile(say, SM-N9005 - UK or Singapore for example) extract it and deodex it to use as a base for porting to our device (Read up this link under "CONVERSION OF STOCK TAR.MD5 LEAK TO CWM FLASHABLE FOR NEW AND UPCOMING DEVELOPERS" (towards the bottom 3/4th of the page) if you are not sure how to go about it. Finally here is a good guide about porting.
Note that it would be helpful if you have some experience in porting, debugging using logcat and other logs. In any case, if you are not at least knee deep into Linux, Android and generally some technical affinity, you should not be attempting this. All the best. I will give it a shot if I can whenever I get some internet connection I can use to download the ~1.5GB stock ROM.

Maybe you can use a custom rom based on the leak for note 2...and a custom rom based on the official android 4.3 for note 3 and try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957219
I dont have the note 2...or the note 3 to try this. But Im thinking maybe you can use wannamlite based on the leak fot note 2 and a wannamlite for note 3 (I really dont know if there is one).
Im not a dev but I use this metod to port some roms for my atrix and works ok.

So, in other words, one could take any 4.3 ROM out there for the T-Mobile Note 2, and any ROM based on the Samsung leak and do this?

I dont know....I made this for my atrix using cm7 roms and works ok...maybe this can be done in this case...I use some cm7 rom from the Motorola Photon (similar to the atrix but bigger screen) and a cm7 rom for the atrix....everything works ok.
Maybe someone can try that...I dont have the note 2...so...I cant do it

[Q] What custom rom is fully compatible with Galaxy Gear?

Hi.
I have a Galaxy Note II GSM International and I was trying different 4.3 roms with the Note 3 features and it seems none of them can fully works with Galaxy Gear.
For example, with some roms, evernote can't sync, and with almost all of them, weather will not sync.
Anyone knows a rom for GN2 GSM International, 4.3 and Note 3 features that are fully compatible with the Galaxy Gear?
Thanks in advance.

Update
I found a solution:
1) Install stock N7100XXUEMJ5_N7100OLBEMJ4_N7100XXUEMJ5
2) Install philz_touch_5.15.0-n7100
3) Format the mobile for new rom installation (I mean, wipe data with the new rom option, it means your /system will be formated too).
4) Install N7100DDUEML4 PreRooted, DeOdexed, Zipaligned & KNOX Free
5) Install Note 3 Mod Project V3.5
6) Wipe Cache just in case
7) Reboot
Tested here, everything is working just fine. Including evernote and weather sync.

[Q] How can I block OTA updates on Note 10.1 (2014 edition)???

I'd just like to know the name of the file that I can freeze in Titanium Backup that will prevent OTA updates on my Note 10.1 (2014 edition). I found it on my Note 2 and 3 but can't find it on the 10.1. It must have a different name on this device. Please help!
Thanks.

Really surprised no one's addressed this yet. I've been researching the same thing, and I think I've found the right files.
Software update v3_…..
Software update v6_…..
Not sure if they'll be the exact same files, but just search for "Update" and you should see 2 Software update files. I can't completely confirm this works - I've literally just done this. The notification has disappeared though, so it seems promising.
