Hi,
I just used the standard Debloating script for SM-T211 on 4.4.It did get rid of alot of the apps but I still have alot of crap related to google and samsung still around.Anyone know if there is a debloating script for 4.4 on sm-t211 that can remove all this useless stuff.
Also over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2360670
I dont know what download? CM or stock version? Its a SM-T211 having a clean install of the lately posted 4.4 firmware.So what should I flash? CM or stock?

This seems like a question I should be able to find an answer to myself, but I have searched all throughout the N7100 forum and can't seem to find my answer.
I have the Galaxy Note II International Version (GT-N7100). I rooted it with the Samsung Galaxy Note2 Toolkit
When I rooted, I had version 4.1.1 of android. It didn't get any OTA updates since it was rooted. I would like version 4.1.2 so I can run the Samsung Multi WIndow Manager so that I can use any app in the MultiWIndow mode.
What's the best way to do this? I tried flashing a stock rom, but I got stuck when I was required to download a stock ROM. I'm in the United States, but I don't see any region with United States so I don't know which I should get.
Sooo... Is this the proper way to update the Samsung rom if I had it rooted? Is there a better way?
What rom is best to use? Which region do I need for the U.S.? I mainly want to use the multi-window support and my understanding is that I must use a Samsung rom for that. I believe that was true when I first researched it. Is it still true today?
Thanks!
Maybe I'm being dense but did you also unlock your phone and install a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP?)
If so, you should be able to download a rom for your phone, install and enjoy the fruits of your labors. Look for roms that are based on TouchWiz and you should retain the samsung features you want. AOSP roms are base android and will not have those samsung customizations.
I don't know what "region" has to do with it though, just pick a rom that's compatible with N-7100

Thanks for the response, TrojanDroid. If region doesn't matter and I can install any TouchWiz based rom then that makes me very happy. I've used mods on other phones in the past and never had to worry about region.
Yes, I used the toolkit to install TWRP, Busybox, and Root the phone. The reason I asked about region is because I figured the easiest way to upgrade to 4.1.2 or higher would be to flash the newer stock rom. This is the webpage with an extremely large list of stock roms that the tool left me with though, which is where my question came from: http samsung-updates .com /device/ ?id=GT-N7100 (I can't post links yet)
I use the Samsung Multi Window and S-Pen features often. Is it accurate to say that as long as a rom is TouchWiz based, I will still be able to fully take advantage of those features?
You should update to any latest rom, bcoz 4.1.1 having sudden death bug and your device can be brick suddenly without a reason.
Anyway 4.1.2 stock rom itself having Multiwindow but to use any application in Multiwindow you will need to have moved version.
You can achieve it with xposed module (is simply needs rooted device +two simple apk to install)
Now what I recommend
1.You already have rooted device with cwm then make efs backup (can use Multitool from my signature for that)
2 . update latest rom (like mg1 is good in my point of view) with odin.
3.again you can use Multitool to root device.
4 . find xposed module and framework for Multiwindow mod to use any application in mw
OR
Find AnyMod from my signature and enjoy many extra features on your stock rom.
Goodluck

Thanks for the input. I have now successfully installed Thunder Lite and it seems to fit my requirements. I may investigate and play around with a few other roms in the future as well, since now I know that any Samsung based rom should work for me.
Thanks!

Hi, I know there are many forums regarding this issue.. but I am a complete noob. I managed to root my phone once and install stock rom.. since then my count in download mode always shows as 2 and even though it says official in download mode.. inside android it still shows modified and i cannot do OTA.. i have 4.3 stock firmware Hong Kong on N7105 installed using Odin 3.04.
I have 2 questions. is there a complete noob friendly guide on how to do a full reset? meaning everything back the way it was so then I can do OTA again?!
second question.. whats the most stable rom if i cannot do OTA.. i dont like all the samsung bloatware and reading multiple threads i always find problems people are having with different mods. I want one that removes the bloatware and just works stable and super fast. i dont care too much about customizations and mods. is CM mod good for this? I looked into the thread and have no idea how to install it.
sorry for noob questions. any help will be appreciated.
thx

Most stable? It's hard to assess. I had CM 10.2 on my note it's clean of samsung bloatware and it's pretty fast without any problem. I changed from it because i love air gestures on 4.3 ROM. Next I had Dr. ketan's rom V6 but it wasn't bad but someone of apps just got crashes without any reason.Now i've got PheonixRom it's really fast and i don't have any crashes on it. Someone of bloatware you can delete in aroma installer then after flashing you can do it by TitaniumBackup.
Regards
thanks!! do you know if there is any way to remove the bloatware from the official rom? and leave everything else the way it is?
Well if you have root it can be deleted probably by TitaniumBackup

Hi there,
I don't know where to ask for help as my Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 SM-T211 just got updated to KitKat 4.4.2, Right then and there, WiFi wouldn't work anymore, couldn't get any GPS fix using High Accuracy, Apps would open/close on it's own, battery drains so fast, slow apps, app features wouldn't work, camera couldn't be found, etc.
It was suggested on other posts to restore factory settings/wipe data from Recovery which I did but nothing changed. Now all I want to do is flash it back to JellyBean 4.1.2 which is very stable and very efficient.
I just want know where I can find/download the old ROM for my tablet? Hope someone can post a link here which is not from SamMobile Many thanks!
I don't know where you could get the firmware but SamMobile. If you want I could Mirror this file to my server in some hours since I have to go to school now.. Which Country do you need?

Guys, I am struggling to find a way to upgrade my T705 to Lollipop. This is my main phone, so I need a working radio and Xposed.
It seems that the options are either stock, and no Xposed, or various deodexed ROMS that are compatible with Xposed, but no fully working radio/calls.
Am I missing anything? What would you suggest?
There are at least two deodexed T705 LP ROMs with working radio (as they are based on T705 stock roms) that are supporting Xposed:
- Iron ROM V2.0: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/development/stock-tw-rom-galaxy-tab-s-8-4-t2995235
- SweetROM V1 T705: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61227464&postcount=172
Both ROMs require rooted stock LP fimware running on the tab before flashing. SweetROM is not coming with an own modem binary, so the orignal stock rom modem should be still active after flashing.
Best, maris

Hi,
Try to change the CSC to for example to BTU, then upgrade to Lollipop. It works on my Tab S. I say about stock.
I did it, because I still wait on the official firmware from S.
ODIN helps. Of course, you have to root your Tab again.
Benefits: you don't loose anything due the upgrade from KK to LP.
Xposed - not tested yet . Honestly, I don't need it. I leave without it after my hardware upgrade from SG4 to SG5, then SG6 . Believe me, you have lot of alternative stuff to survive without Xposed.
Good luck...
As I said, I need Xposed. Unfortunately, both deodexed ROMS have flaws (one is battery life). So, I guess we are back to square one...
Maybe someone here can help to deodex the stock LL ROM myself?
I also wondering the same, how to deodex the stock LL ROM so I can use Xposed. Not installing custom ROM...

same process (has worked on other LL roms and devices for me..in particular the tools to extract, deodex and then create flashable zip just for the system files which deletes the original ones and writes the deodexed ones into system app, priv app and framework folders)
in your case you can just get the system files from the zip rom as I needed to get them from the tar image (no zip roms yet for the s2)
had the s1 (or tab s as they may call it the 705) and also tab pro t325 before but quit those before LL came aboard on stock)
just looking to flash a custom ROM with minimal bugs and maximum stability for a friend's phone. I browsed the dev thrrads but I only got more confused.
Right now on custom stock based 4.4 ROM
The most stable and bug free phone is going to be a stock rom.
If you want to remove bloatware, root and use titanium backup to freeze or remove apps.
