[Q] New Note II user

I'll preface this by saying I'm not just being lazy. I have researched some, and plan to research more, but generally find the ability to directly ask current users more useful, as better solutions and suggestions seem to pop up.
Anyhow, I'm getting the note II tomorrow and have a few questions. I'm coming from the GSII, and have been flashing since the G1 and Nexus one days, so simple beginning user questions aren't a problem. I.e. what is root? Should I root? How to root?
Would you recommend running stock or a custom ROM? Yes I know it depends on the individual, but what is your individual opinion? This, I think, at least more so than with the GSII, is a tough question, as TW has many features with the Note II.
How is the functionality of the S pen limited with non TW Roms? (Can annotated screen shots still be taken? Does the phones proximity software with the S pen still work? Other missing S pen features?).
What, if any, of the TW built in software features are eliminated with TW and non-TW ROMs? (Smart stay, smart rotation, etc?
Do you prefer TW or stock ROMs?
Personally I prefer everything about stock android. The look, feel, everything. With the GSII, no major features (sans WiFi calling) were missing when running CM for example. What stock TW feature do you wish you could have with CM or any AOSP ROM that isn't available?
Do you use a case? If so, which one? Would you recommend it?
Any general first time user advice? Any apps you recommend specifically for/with the Note II?
Thanks gentlemen and ladies, any and all input is greatly appreciated!

I tried to run rooted stock for a few weeks. It was good enough for a daily use. But having a debloated, tweaked stock rom was way better, performance was excellent better battery life. I tried using touch wiz also, but when i put a custom stock rom i used nova launcher, looks like touchwiz but lots of options. Obviously i prefer stock rom. Lol. Personally i Can't live without wi-fi calling so i stick with stock roms.
Cases? I got the xda cruzer case, a body glove(little bit thinner than the xda one), and an incipio type thin hard case. I'm also using a privacy filter screen protector but i might get a spigen ultra clear one.
For tweaking I'm using set cpu, goo manager, titanium back up, es file explorer, mobile odin, light manager, adaway, mw manager, push notification are some i use most of the time. Oh yeah i forgot lmt launcher is another that i cant live without after using it for a few weeks.
POWERED by FROSTY!

Awesome! Thanks a lot for the input. Looking forward to officially migrating this afternoon!

Of you want to run stock with benefits checked out tweaked..

Wouldnt TW and stock roms be the same thing? Since TW is stock on this phone.... You probably meant CM based roms.
I personally prefer TW based roms because of those little things that cant be ported over to CM. A few reasons i chose the note 2 over other phones is because the added functionality of the s pen and all that it brings. There are apps that make up for it, but i take a lot of screen shots and edit them to send info.
Jedi, tweaked, myrom are the three best. I personally choose jedi master, for wifi calling. Jedi x is international based.
As for cases: i run two cases, ones just a plastic slim case that protects the phones edges and doesnt add bulk. The other is a faux leather wallet case. Holds my license and debit card. A bit bulky but thats a good thing when it carries everything u dont wanna lose.
As for apps, heres what i have

Yea, I should have clarified, but I meant stock Android, but really AOSP.
Are there any themes I can use with TW to give the CM jellybean look?
Im actually really interested in imitating your two case approach. Any way you could post links for your cases?
Thanks!

this case i got from another user here, hes the owner of the gameklip and he had a surplus since they didnt stick to the gameklip. he sold it to me for a penny + shipping, but this is what i have on it.
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trk...laxy+note+2+leather+wallet&_sacat=0&_from=R40
cant find the exact one i have for the faux leather wallet, but those are it, i paid around $7 for it. holding up realy nice, nothings peeling or fading.
best thing about these cases is that i can read the NFC tags through them.

just download the galaxy note 2 kits
everything is there

I tried stock and then every custom ROM out there and ended up running nothing but CM10.1 Nightlies.

Im not sure where to post this. Is any new users having constant freezes with note 2? I tried jedi rom with different kernel and also back to stock with stock kernel deodexed. I get freeze sometime in xda app. Mostly, get the freeze in the game and kicks me out to homescreen..

Flashaholics/themeaholics

Hi, my names Chad and im a flashaholic. It all started when I got my Sprint Galaxy Note II. After rooting and flashing my first rom there was no looking back.
I have found a daily driver and I'm not going to drop any names. Every dev involved with creating these mods and roms for this device are amazing. While performance is important, I like moding, EVERYTHING.
I would like to know what everyone else likes about flashing roms. What is important to you? Maybe some screenshots of mods you've done to your phone?
Here's my keyboard. (=

Nice job bro....
Sent from my enormous note 2 tapatalk 2 beta 4

I actually flash a lot less than I did when I have the Evo 4G. I'm more modded, but I'm mainly just changing files.
I'm running doexidezed stock MC2, Persues Kernel 3.6, with the 4-1 reboot, all mutliwindow mods. Changed the Spen detection sounds to ligh sabler, changed boot anmination to Andy's Pee On Apple, changed boot sound to Lexus ISF start up and engine rev, disable shut off animations, using only one homescreen page (no widgets), use the Trev E Mod WiFi tether beta 3.3 and folder mount.
I'm interested in the cyogenmod when it's out of alpha. I'm waiting for the mutliboot mod to get completed. It's getting closer on the international. BootManager on the Evo4G was the best app for flashaholics. You could have a daily and as many ROMs as your SD card could hold. I usually had three--barebones Sense rom, Cyogenmod (Android 2.3), and Cyogenmod (Android 4). Here and there I would have a forth or fifth to fiddle with.
The other rom I'm interested in trying out, and it's extremely early, is more of port of the Galaxy Tab 10.1. I've seen a couple screen shots, pretty sweet if you're into the mutlitwindow/mutlitask thing.
Right now, deoxidized stock meets my needs well. Nothing, other than Google Wallet, appears to be borked. And a few mods, I able to more.

My name is Jamice Welbon and I am a flashaholic I first introduced to flashing through my friend Treo Central.com he get me hooked flashing my Treo 600, 650, 700p and 710wp but soon after that treocentral.com was not cutting it for me so I tried ppc geeks. com and started flashing my touch pro 2.
I tried every windows ROM I could find and even experimented with some android. With the introduction of Windows phone and the stifled future future ROM development I knew I needed something stronger.
I went to Xda developers.com and started using Android on a regular bases. I first purchases the Samsung Epic then I tried the Epic Touch 4g and I am currently using the Galaxy Note 2. I have customized my boot animation (My Little Pony FIM), converted my phone into tablet mode, changed my font, added a hack version of Google Wallet, but I am currently using a non hack version since the Note 2 is now an official supported device. I have a hacked mod to remove the unsupported device message from Google Wallet since my device is rooted.
I am currently using a ROM which is half touch wiz and half stock Android. The dialer and contacts are stock Android. I even put a mod on my phone where I can customize the DPI for every app on my phone. I can even open up as many apps as I want and have them floating on my phone's desktop. I am fening for the Galaxy Note 3.
I am currently thinking about modding my shut down screen.
I need help and that is why I am on this forum. It has affected my job and my relationships in a negative way.

I too am a flashaholic and also pretty new to the phone
Speaking of which........
I have only had one rom on this phone and i love the phone! I am currently running maks allstar rom and i am ready to try another. I was looking around and saw that there are some floating window mods now! WOOHOOOO SOLD!
I looked around and found this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2139684
So I assume im on MA7 with my current rom whatever that is and I need to get MC2 roms for the floating windows?
The choice between 5 roms what ever shall i do? Does anyone have any suggestions? I like bling and great sound mods and all the bells and whistles including wifi tether and lightsaber spen effects!
It seems like there are alot of different versions of this phone. I assume im in the right spot with a sprint note 2? The mackrom allstars has been working great.
Thank you much!

Flashing adventure
So i ventured off to my flashing adventure. I first tried jelly 16.0 which was pretty awesome and the flash works in regular browser which is AWESOME but it didnt seem to have floating window. I tried installing the apk switcher thingie and it didnt even show up. I found the thread for the floating multi window installed it and nothing..... I flashed the sprint zip file for it and then the phone wouldnt boot.
I installed wolfpack and i still dont have floating windows...... i am going to install the apk next and will update my progress
Ok so im supposed to have a toggle icon which i dont and waiting for answer in the rom forum. Also the flash doesnt work in the desktop version of the browser something that worked in jellie rom 16.0 =(

Im running MacksRom (Plain Jane MA7) at the moment and have multiwindow desktop mod. It's in xposed settings.

So you just installed the mod from the thread? there is apk too do i need to install that?

Go into xposed app settings and change the "system settings" "screen dp" from default to 800x1280, select save then reboot.

No. It's a framework work. As mentioned above, you just need install the Xposed framework APK. I've used it on a deoxidezed MA7 stock rom. MC2 is just more performance tweaks and bug fixes.

Ok i understand more but now i lost multiview
i did the installer i activated the plugins in teh installer i set the resolution on android system to 1280x800 i have rebooted and no multiview now. i cant get it back =(

Moon, check your pm's.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium

I finally got it worked out
I checked out the OP in jellyroms post where it talks about installing the framework. I factory reset cleared caches dalvik etc and reflashed. Once flashed i did exactly what it said minus the downloading the items because they were alread in the rom. Now i have multiwindow. I didnt mess with the DPI though only set the resolution to 1280x800 and it works. I am scared to use the DPI changer though because although it looks really super cool. I lost the multiview doing it. I even tried setting the multiview to the same dpi. the com-flash whatever file and reboot still no luck... So it does work but im in regular phone resolution which isnt bad i guess because you dont have to mess with all the apps dpis etc? the internet built in was FC'n during my mess of flashing etc.....
Any ideas or suggestions on why i lost the multiview? I would like to change the dpi at some point but i dont want to factory reset (which is what i had to eventually do to get the multiview back anyway.
Thank you for all that put up with my frantic questions.

Glad you got it up and working!

[Q] Note 2 Features on Note 2 CM / AOSP

Hey Guys ,
Ive had the n7100 for around a year now ,
I Always liked the phone but recently it became Sluggish to a point of crushing and i couldnt even use it.
I Switched a few roms and lastly i tried the Clean Kitkat rom (Asylum)
Up untill now i re-fell in love with the Phone and i love how it runs so smoothly , However i have one question ,
I Can bare the idea the pen is less "useable" as i cant use the keyboard features i had and others , however the touchwiz on 4.3 had one feature i really miss - which is the one handed control (where it minimizes the whole screen to a use of 1 hand).
1. is it possible to implement or install such mod on the AOSP / CM Roms ?
2. Do you know any other feasible ideas that will allow me to use it with one hand ?
Thanks!

Search the theme/app forum spen detection note buddy and gesture control plus papyrus. They all pretty much give you your spen features back. Ommirom has multiwindow not sure if you can substitute Samsung multiwindow though but I'm pretty sure you can use floating apps to have different windows open at the same time

[Q] CM on Note 8 - stable?

Just curious if anyone is running Cyanogenmod (n5100) on their Note 8. couple quick questions....
1. Is it stable?
2. Anything not work? Any bugs?
3. People talk about the sPen stuff or whatever on the Note 8. Is it worth keeping the stock ROM for some of that Samsung stuff?

Only for the sPen and the double window thing. I dont care about the bloatware that comes included. In fact I just bought it for the sPen feature.

I donno what peeps here are calling bloat ware... Samsung apps are some the the finest available on Android. Google apps are just about needed for secondary apps and extras.
Out of the many apps I removed or disabled, I personally could not find much improvement with storage or RAM consumption.
The only issue that I found from an app is Googles Music Player, and 4.2.2 and earlier OS not able to fully categorize RAM used with over 45GB of MP3 files. I think it has to do with how many folders and mp3 files are stored. Any way Music Player will consume battery power not what peeps call bloat ware.
Too many developers and so called know it alls will point out bloat ware as an issue, when the issue is how things are configured and used.
I have tried custom ROMs and found nothing better than a properly setup Stock ROM. Sad to say for the Note 8.0.
If need be safe root and install TI backup pro and Xposed framework with plugins, to have the power of most custom ROMs and to remove all you want. If you need to send in for repair, just do a factory reset and be done with it. Simple and effective without need to jump though hoops in flashing and dealing with Triangle away and looking for proper OEM firmware. Plus you can always update through Kies or Settings as if nothing was touched. )
Sorry for the long rant, just tired of peeps pointing at bloatware being an issue with devices. The issue is proper implementation and usage. Take it from me, having an engineering degree in applied science in technology. I find it easier to pick at the problems people create than to deal with the limitations of pushing out new tech without proper testing. That is why I never applied for Google, MS, or many other big named companies. Samsung tablets seem to have less issues with what they load than many other competitors. Google may complain about customizations, but as long as they work that is all I care about. So many who do complain about bloatware are probably Google biased.

I put CM 11 on my note 8.0 n5110 (not the n5100) as I love CM11 on my note 2. However, although the CM 11 on my note 2 seems like a polished final product with no issues whatsoever (although it's only a nightly), definitely CM11 on my note 8.0 seemed like it was still a work in progress.
1. Yes, it is stable for everyday things.
2. Often (about once every other day) an app would disappear from the homepage. I would then have to put them back. I could not remove unwanted preinstalled apps from my homepage (like the camera app for example). Usually you would grab the app and bring it to the top of the screen and it would be removed. For some reason there was no way to remove them. Usually there is a simple way to "close all" the opened apps by going to the pull-down menu. This was missing my nightly.
3. The pen works perfectly on CM11. Of course, there is no "air gestures" like on stock. For me, I just use the spen as a pen: for drawing, sketching, and taking notes (like using my favorite app LectureNotes). For such things, the pen works fine. In my opinion, it's well worth getting CM11 --- besides for the things mentioned in 2 (and other small things) the note 8.0 runs amazingly smooth, like the dream tablet I always wanted.
BTW, later I moved to Omnirom on my note 8.0 and I'm still using it and I am liking Omnirom even better than CM11 (which in my personal opinion is much better than the stock rom).

Does Sketchbook Pro run Smith enough on this tablet?

Hello I just ordered one of these off eBay for $80 in excellent condition but I feel like I should've asked if sketchbook runs smooth enough on here? I know it's old hardware, but still better than Snapdragon 410 in Galaxy A tab. I wanted a small tablet with s pen (Wacom). I don't need it for anything else I have an iPhone 6s and i7 desktop and Skylake i3 laptop

what version JB 4.1.2 or 4.2.2? Hopefully you didn't get 4.4.2.
As of this month I finally got the best ever overall operation in 4.4.2. But it is not anywhere as perfect as 4.1.2 or 4.2.2
If by chance you have KK, you can either root and use a custom kernel or do the S Note fix to correct the spen pixel issue
It is easy to do, but any complain about it being trial and error. Once you get the knack, you'll wonder why you had such a problem in the first place.
I have the app in question along with Layer Paint HD, and Paper Artist. once you align your spen in KK, you won't have any issues with drawing apps.
There are custom ROMs that correct the spen issue but some still need work as they are not 100% fully functional as stock is.
Since I require perfect miracast functions, with minimal bugs with a nice layout. I was forced into manually selecting components from S5, Tab 4 and Note 2 stock ROMs, along with some ported system apps distributed by Devs. Some very few apps are from dead ROMs, where the Dev let rot away.
Yes you can run S5 apps in stock form, just need to root and run Xposed with app settings. Some apps require 320 or so DPI, and others may require 190 or 220. It is a trial and error, but they are stock, and with a build.prop mod, you can update them on Play or Galaxy.
I run the latest versions of Tab 4 version and S5 version of Peel Smart Remotes. As S5 has a better layout.
Some apps like Kids mode need a small tweak with a saved older sub app to run, though the lock screen widget interactions and gator animations are missing.
I run my N5110 as a T330 (Tab 4 8.0) in my build prop, 90% of the time, with out any issues with my apps. The remainder of my usage is in S5 form, as my Chrome Dev browser with Samsung's chrome customization system app, operates a wee better browsing on the Internet. Seems that the updated versions are not so device dependant in the build.prop requirements.

Hello thanks! Sounds good I don't have the device yet. I'm sure I'll be back with more questions. Hopefully it's not 4.4.2 like you said.

Okay sadly it has 4.4.2 Can yuu point me in the direction of the spen fix?

By the way I have SAMSUNG-SGH-I467 sounds like it's hard to root this device?

autocorrect sucks on your thread title...
Smith or smooth? XD
