Hello there,

I purchased my phone online thru a website and it got shipped to me in Australia from Hong Kong, Now I want to root my phone and install a new ROM into it but I do not knw how to check what variant is my phone of. When I search for a custom ROM it says that it is for a particular variant so I m not sure what to do.... PLZ HELP

Goto settings and under that goto about phone,you can find your phone number,model and all other information there itself

It should say something like N7100 or N7105(LTE) and the other variants are carrier specific models for sprint,t-mobile or at&t

Yeah you can, watch out though for any included modem in the stock based roms.
I'm running vanilla Rootbox which is found in the at&t forums

hey guys good? so i am half busy last days and haveno time to search a good tutorial to install custom ROMs in my note 2 i am asking to point me the right topic and the best ROM is much? thanks very very thanks:good:

@ luan3232

I used this video to learn how to flash a ROM. As long as you're rooted and have CWM, it's a decent video that covers all the basics of flashing. Mind you, this uses Omega ROM as the example, but most other ROMs follow exactly the same technique.

As to the best ROM, that is question that is near impossible to answer. It relies on numerous factors, the major ones being the user of ROMs. First off, decide if you want Stock-like or Minimal or Completely Different. Then search a few ROMs of one of those categories. Read reviews, view images, even flash a few ROMs to see how you like it as that is the most important part. The only part we can help you with is tell you a little about the ROMs themselves. Once you come to settle upon a ROM that meets all your requirements, that's the best ROM.

Feck it, I'll just ask my first & only newb question in this here makeshift signature: How/Can you change the Carrier name shown on the N7100...?

Yes you can. but choose Rom's with the aroma installer, you can choose to upgrade the modem or not. so I say no to upgrade the modem, and its fine

If you cant go to the homescreen when booting, try to reinstall the stock rom trough odin mode.

To be safe, install only roms that is specifically made to your device model.
You can search tons of roms for n7105 Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development section.

Recording Calls?

Hi, I have a Note II and want to put a custom rom on to allow me to automatically record calls, I have tried the apps and the only way i can do it is on loudspeaker and microphone.

Which is the best rom to use for this feature?

Thanks

Kev

(The phone is a ROM virgin and has stock rom on)
I have rooted and put custom roms on my S3 but never risked it on the note 2.

two general questions

Hi
I have three general questions to which I was unable to find the answers:
1) Which app should I use to find an apk installation information (app and data names and the installation paths) ?
(To find the files and folders for the manual binding or transfer to SD).
2) Does exist a way to make a file binding (like it is for the folders in the "Directory Bind" application) ?
(It's to save space in Samsung devices where normal app transfer to Sd card is impossible)
3) Does exist a way (password protection ?) against ROM re-flashing (both by custom recovery and via Odin) ?
(It's for protection against thief)

@ trubster

Well... That's a pretty open question... I mean there are numerous decent ROMs out there with built in Call Recording features and whatnot... It really depends on what kind of ROMs you like...

You mentioned your phone is a ROM virgin, thus I'm assuming you don't have any significant problems with the Stock ROM as it is... Thus, you might want to give Omega ROM a try. It has call recording amongst many other features which you might also like... And it's a pretty good ROM overall as well. So yeah... Something like that...Omega ROM.

1. ES File Explorer is a pretty solid app for such tasks. Speaking of which, Solid Explorer is pretty good too, but a paid app.
2. I'll be honest, I'm not too sure about file binding. Best to ask a more experienced member.
3. As far as I know, there does not or can not exist a custom recovery that can be password protected. For a more accurate opinion, I would ask the developer of whatever ROM you are using.

@ zafarsharif

Do you use a different browser to the Stock one or Chrome...? Perhaps, the excel files themselves are not actually saved in .xls format but simply a link to it. Maybe you are downloading only the link to the file and not the file itself. What if the app you normally use to view these types of files is not the default app any more. Check none of these are the case and then come back if there's still a problem... Otherwise I haven't a clue as to what sparked that sudden but inevitable betrayal by your phone...

That was a Firefly reference. I have never watched Firefly. I don't know what I'm doing with my life.

Thanks, got as far as rooting and just about to put an omega rom on

Is there a way to tell the phone it is not ROOTED?

I use Barclays banking and it has stopped me using the app as my phone is rooted?

@Rick

thanks for your prompt help.

i use the stock app for internet. we upload our excel doc online to a website everynight. the same link that i click on the pc is the link i click on my phone, but on phone it down loads as html. it used to download the actual excel file and than i used polaris to open it. all was good until i download kris to connect phone to pc. since than i have all these little issues. i have uninstalled kris, but the problem still remains. this is important as it is work related and a real pain that i cant open the excel or word files that we upload on our web site.....

is there a setting that i am missing that related to downloading files and what type it will save it as???

Contact's phone numbers digit grouping

My Note 2 groups my contact's phone numbers in 3 digit groups regardless of the length of the number e.g. 213 657 74 (not a real phone number). Is there any way to group them differently, e.g. 21 36 57 74 or just not group them at all (21365774)? Thanks.

I want to buy 64GB korean version of GT-N7105 the LTE phone. And I want to make it to Hong Kong version. But the Hong Kong LTE model only have 16 or 32GB.
If I flash via Odin the Hong Kong stock rom 4.1.1 "N7105ZHALJ4 N7105ZZHALJ4" to the 64GB korean N7105. Will the koran version change to hong kong version and still have 64GB?
