Welcome to the first fully working almost stock NE2 rom. It has all of the stock apps (including dialer) working along with all the stock functions (spen clipping). I call it almost stock because there are some changes such as tweaks and root included. I have a modified android.permissions.jar to enable the reboot menu and added init.d support to the stock kernel. Talking about the stock kernel I have also modified the ram-disk to completely remove knox. Also added in a few tweaks while I was in there.
Right now the rom will be released as Deodexed but I am working on a special odexed version with every app odexed. The ota and tar have most things odexed but not everything. Even my addon apps will be odexed. Only deodexed will be the apps you install.
Links and change logs will be located in post #2 when they are ready for public use. Change logs may appear before the link. If there is a change log and no link then it is being tested and is not ready for public use yet.
If you have an issue please report which rom version you are using (this will be located in about device under settings) and if possible add a logcat. Logcats will give the information I need to help fix the issue. If your issue shows up after you restored with TB or any other such app then it is your issue and not mine. I will only support issues with the apps I included and only if you follow every single step in my install instructions. I have way too much to do as it is without trying to fix your mistakes or some other devs apps.

Cricket MMS settings
This is the work of @mrwright83 and he has been nice enough to share so please remember to thank him.
1. go to your data settings by hitting ##3282# and select edit (depending on rom might have to enter msl)
2. go to mmsc and change it to this http://mms.mycricket.com/servlets/mms?x-cricket-mdn=999_999_9999 (9's are your phone number)
3. then go your mms proxy and change it to wap.mycricket.com
4. lastly go to mms port and change it to 8080
And that's it
For anyone wanting to use this as a base for your own custom rom feel free and remember to give credit and a link to this thread in your OP. There is no need to ask for my permission to use this since the main reason it is here is for a base for custom roms.

Try different versions of philz recovery or reflash the version you are using now should fix that error I would think.

Pretty sure I'm using it right now. Can't remember who made it, but I'll try to find the thread.
That's basically stock but with XXKTK right? Don't exactly know what that means, but mine is the same but is CWM flashable and works on EXT4, and is pre-rooted with certain tweaks that improve performance.

Nope! Just like regular stock, only better. Sometimes though when you press the home button and you were doing a bunch of stuff it'll take a moment for your homescreen icons and widgets to show, but I think that's just the device and not the ROM. Keep in mind though that it really is just like regular stock; you'll still have the Samsung Apps bloatware and the author had to delete Swype and Maps to make room for CWM application, but if you really want them Maps is available in the Play Store and you get the Swype apk easily for free.

I've come across several posts/apks/scripts/tweaks to remove the stock email exchange security so I decided to share what I built and used. The email apk that is included in this flashable zip was not created by me (not sure who the developer is so I apologize). This is a simple and quick flashable zip file. I have tested it on my Galaxy S III running both Stock TW JB and AOKP JB (Tasks ROM).
This flash "should" work on both ICS and JB. I've tested this on JB but I've used it previously on ICS. If you have any issues using it on ICS please let me know and I'll update this thread.
Install Insturctions:
STEP 0: Make a nandroid backup or backup your pHere however you see fit.
1. Download the zip File for STOCK TW HERE or AOKP HERE
2. Flash the zip using clockwork recovery
3. WIPE CACHE PARTITION & DALVIK CACHE
4. Reboot Phone and re-setup your exchange account
The apk's in these zip files are technically the same 2 files but named differently to account for whatever rom you're using.
**As always, Flash at your own risk, I am not responsible if anything happens to your phone, but I will feel bad :crying:
SInce this flashable zip replaces your stock email app with a modified apk I'll upload all the stock apk's so you can always revert back easily. If you're not sure what your stock email apk's are just navigate to your system/app folder and find the names of your email.apk and exchange.apk.
AOKP Original Email APK's - Email.apk & Exchange2.apk
Stock TW Email APK's - SecEmail.apk and SecExchange.apk
Other APK Possibility - Email.apk and Exchange.apk
On a side note, I'll be starting an APK Repository shortly just as I did for the Galaxy S II. That thread helped a lot of members on XDA so I'll bring that to the GS3 users as well.
Reserved for future use...
Thanks
Hmm seems like not that many people experienced this problem. But i need to install the email and exchange apk because the costume TouchWiz Jelly Bean rom that i was trying does not contain the email apk file originally (its kinda silly for not contain it by default...) so i need to use the apk files from my old AOKP rom. When i was setting up my exchange email, that security thingy kept popping out, sooooo annoying!!!!! Then i kept looking for a solution to solve it, and here comes the zip file. Flash it immediately, and problem solved!!!!!
Really thank you for this!!!

Make a backup with titanium backup of both your email and exchange apps. After you back them up, delete them both. Flash either of the email updates, wipe cache and dalvik cache and reboot. You should be fine using either. Worst case scenario, you delete the email APKs you flashed and restore your original ones.

I followed the steps, everything installed correctly I assume because my email app was back after I deleted it. However, exchange still asked me to accept the security steps. Is it supposed to still ask you (and just not allow it to actually make remote changes)?

I was able to delete the 2 apks from \system\app. Where are the 2 odex files? What are they named?
BTW - I'm getting the "Unfortunately, Email has stopped" and "Unfortunately, Exchange service has stopped" messages after removing said 2 files and re-flashing this zip. I'm running Devil's Reject ROM.
New Info: I just looked it up and apparently the odex files are in /data/dalvik-cache. Unfortunately, my /data/dalvik-cache is empty. Hmmmm. I must be doing something wrong. Or perhaps these apks won't run on Devil's Reject v3. Any suggestions?

thanks, can you post something for the AOSP lover's?
"Team Win Recovery Project 2.x, or twrp2 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. It’s a fully touch driven user interface – no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel."
What's new in 2.6.1.0:
~Initial SELinux support (only a few devices, need testers so come by IRC if your device doesn't have it and needs it)
~Initial support for f2fs file system formatting (Moto X)
~Update SuperSU install for 4.3 ROMs
~Fixed a permissions bug on files created during backup
~Fixed a bug that caused TWRP to not wait for compressed backups to finish causing 0 byte files and md5sums to not match
~Fixed decryption of encrypted data so that both TouchWiz and AOSP decryption are possible
~Ignore lost+found folder during backup and size calculations
~Various other minor bug fixes and tweaks
Download:
The fastest and easiest way to install TWRP is to use the GooManager app:
Play Store Link
Direct Download
1) Install GooManager from the Play Store
2) Open GooManager and provide root permissions
3) Hit Menu (or the button with the 3 dots on your screen) and then Install OpenRecovery
OR:
You can find more information and download links on our website!
Install:
Please go to TeamWin's download page for our device here, and install via the following instructions (found here):
"Download the above file. Turn off your device. Turn on the device while holding volume down until the boot screen shows up. The device will now be in fastboot mode. Plug the device into your computer. If you have the right drivers installed you will be able to use fastboot. Run the following command via the command line:
fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img
Note that you will need to change the last part to match the name of the file that you just downloaded. You will also need adb and fastboot for your computer."
Bugs:
If you have found a bug, please consider posting it to our github issues log. It's pretty much impossible for us to keep up with the more than 40 threads that we have for the devices that we "directly" support. If you have a significant problem that cannot be answered in this thread, your best bet is to PM me directly, contact us via our website, or find us in our IRC channel below. If you see someone that's struggling, feel free to point it out to us. We need your help to help us keep track of all of our devices! Thanks!
Support:
Live support is available via #twrp on Freenode with your IRC client or just click this link.
Notes:
~GooManager did not show any updates from 2.6.0.0 (at least for me), and I haven't seen or had time to make a flashable zip yet, so it looks like installing the .img via fastboot is the only way to update (for now).
~One of the changes listed is an update to SuperSU for 4.3. I was really hoping this might fix the rebooting issue I and a few others have with 4.3 ROMs, but unfortunately it doesn't seem so (at least in my case).
Credits:
All credit for this release goes to TeamWin.
I take no credit for this, just came across it via TeamWin's page for our device and didn't see it posted anywhere here yet.

Do you mind testing it? Make a backup and then boot your rom and try to copy it to a pc with a usb connection. TWRP always give an error and wont copy because of the encryption added in.

Hello to everyone.
I am really ready to give up trying to fix the issues that happened after I rooted my Galaxy Note II (SGH-T889V).
Rooted my phone successfully through the procedure described by Chainfire, worked flawlessly, got SU installed. The purpose of the rooting was to get rid of bloatware that took a lot of memory, battery and space. Deleted all prescribed programs, restarted my note and that is where problems started. Obviously, I accidentally deleted something that is related to contacts, messaging and keypad to dial phone numbers. Tried to manually dial the number on the keypad, I got it frozen after inputting 3 numbers (area code) and then black screen appears with the error *Unfortunately, Contacts has stopped* and it goes to home screen. Same happening with messaging. Basically, I lost 2 of the most abilities of the phone to call out/in and send texts in/out. As recommended on some forums here, I cleaned data in Contacts and Contact storage,but it did not help.
I am brand new to this rooting stuff, but it went OK, I screwed somewhere on the step of deleting bloatware from the phone. Lost any idea and hope what to do...My phone is pretty useless now...
Phone data (if it is needed to get an idea what happened and how to fix it) :
Samsung Galaxy Note II SGH-T889VVLBMA3
Jelly Bean 4.1.2
Kernel 3.031-861899

Do you happen to know what apps you deleted? Actually it would be easier if you just get a log cat of the fc. An app like cat log will do the trick
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
You most likely deleted one of the contact system apps. It's usually better to freeze an app first (I use titanium backup) to see if there are any problems. If you have a custom recovery twrp or cwm you can flash a custom stock based rom that are usually already debloated. If not use odin and go back to stock and start over. Make sure to backup your essential files/pics first. If you odin back to stock everything on your internal storage will be lost.

I backed up everything to google servers through my gmail account, but it did not work, tried to restore it from there but it showed nothing was backed...I do not have custom recovery, so I am going with odin option then? Do I need something else in addition to odin, like original rom T889VVLBMA3? I backed up all my files to the computer HD, hopefully this time I will find files.
In odin does it matter what signature is showing in the top left corner of the screen - I saw T889V, Galaxy SIII , I3171. Do they indicate to which version of Galaxy this odin version was developed? My sorry for these obvious questions, but its better be safe than sorry (for me now). Also, I read on this forum that in addition to restore to stock rom it needs to be cache and factory reset done to get the phone back to *normal* mode and *official*. Do I need to do these as well?
Thank You a lot for providing guidance to me! Very much grateful!

Update 2. So I decided to go for a full recovery to original stock ROM T889_MTC_VVLBMA3 through Odin option v.3.07 It took about 8 minutes, but, Thanks God, it worked flawlessly and now I back to my factory shipped condition Note II
Thank You very much for participation and your advises, much appreciated!
Now I am debating with myself one question - do I need to go for another try of rooting? Major concern is that phone has too many stock applications that I do not like and will never use in m life. What would be your opinion on that matter?
Also, can you point me in right direction how to do it right way? Previously, I used Chainfire method and it worked nicely, should I go with it or there are another ways to do it (I just looking for rooting)?
And one more : there is a description how to root phone by technique from Mr. Robinson and there are links to files to be used with Odin (root66...), but any link that I used for downloading provided me me corrupted 7z archive. Do you know any other rights links to these files?
Thank you aain and best of luck to everyone!
Cheers!
I would recommend a custom rom. Jedimaster and tweaked are very popular here. Both are based off of the stock rom and are debloated. I would download goo manager and use the option to install custom recovery. This will install twrp recovery. Read up on how to use twrp. Its easy once you get familiar with it. In twrp you can make nandroids (backups) of your current rom and install others. Now that you know how to use odin and go back stock everything else should come easy. As far as root I always use odin. Checkout galaxynote2root.com there are great tutorials there and links needed for root and just about everything else.

INSTALL CUSTOM RECOVERY after you root the phone. Then - reboot and you'll see how it works. You should read upon the very basics of rooting/installing custom roms. Fundamental stuff. Jedi are good custorm roms, I prefer AOSP but you have to use gapps for those.
Download Jedi .zip file and put it on the external card (over 1G) navigate through custome rec, wipe cache/dalvik cashe /system; go back to main menu/install click on .zip file wherever you put it on your external card (preferred to internal) and you're done. I used exynos exploit one click root, and TWRP recovery. It's actually quite simple once go over this first time.
There's a post in the at&t Samsung Galaxy 3 original android development for cm12 running lollipop 5.0. I flashed it on my t999 and it works great. Just follow the flashing instructions and flash all the files they say to flash. Your welcome.

Err....
Well, I can't say anything. I'm working on porting cm11 from the Note 2 LTE to the S3. If that works, I'm porting cm12 to the s3, hopefully.
Yeah it's an alpha build so the bells and whistles of cm features aren't available. It's basically just a working version of 5.0. As time goes on they will add the bells and whistles.

Its actually an almost perfect build for me... Only issue is camera and contacts fc when a synced contact's name is more than one word.... Even had faster GPS lock than 4.4 roms...
Don't seem to miss cm features as I don't use much... Just probably on screen buttons and skip tracks with volume button is what I'm missing
Running this on my phone. It was kind of wonky at first but after 2-3 wipes/flashes this is the best ROM I have ever run on this phone.
If you get tons of force closes, no root, and can't seem to download anything wipe and re flash.
As of now everything is working for me(including the camera using nexus camera).

Test builds V4 is running great, ive been running it for 2 days and ive had 0 FC's! just camera doesnt work, but you can download an alternate camera from the play store (nexus camera or camera zoom FX works for me). All you have to do before flashing is modifying the "updater script", open and edit the updater script and just replace all "d2att" with "d2tmo", save changes. Do a clean flash. I use the usual apps (fb, tw, whatsapp, a couple basic games) and everything works well. I dont use any apps that use the camera (vine, instagram, etc) so I cant report on those. No need to flash a kernel or different radio.
V5 is working fine for me. Everything works except video recording(pictures work with Nexus Camera) and cast screen on Chromecast. I tried the fix for the Nexus 7 but it disconnects immediately.
I used es file manager changed all d2att to d2tmo and reziped the file and still won't flash. What am i doing wrong?

I tried editing the update script using root explorer, and it did the editing. however, when I moved/copy and paste the edited update script back to the Rom zip, it would move the original/unedited update script. So this is what I did: I extracted the update script and edited with root explorer, then I emailed the edited update script to myself, then I open the rom with 7-zip on my computer and replaced the original update script with the one I edited, saved the zip to my desktop. I then proceed to flash and it worked perfectly.

I rather not, for some reason the guy who put together the zip took down the thread and his account is suspended, who knows what happened. Its very easy to modify tho, give it a try.
i took a day or so by finally got my son s3 working
The current build is build 5 dated 11/25. It works better than build 4. You can use a few different cameras but stock camera still not working right. If you use Philz touch recovery you don't need to modify the script, it will flash just fine. It will say your phone is an i747 but that is just cosmetic it changes nothing with functionality like data or calls, etc. Because this is just a software rom and doesn't change anything hardware specific. Enjoy.

Where is the download link? I have been looking all over the place for CM12 on T999
I tried changing all the d2att to d2tmo and it is all changed but when I try to flash it, it gets a couple fail messages about mounting something and then I try to reboot it gets stuck in bootloop.
When I try to flash without changing the d2att it won't even flash.
Anyone got V5?
