Well i got stuck in the splash screen the first time but after going back to stock and installing the recovery again it went smoothly works great.
Flashed about 5 hours ago and so far one random reboot but install was smooth just gotta make sure you use philz recovery! Thanks for the hard work. Already running much better than MK4 and finally got my regular battery life back.:good: MK4 had such a crappy battery life!!!
I think the second post has S5 and Note 3 features he plans on adding in the near future...I think that's right?

And one more. Shouldn't the battery icons be white? and my software and modem is at ljc! What do i do ?
Please read the info on the second post. Now about your software/modem. This is just a rom and kernel combo and does not change anything else.
Firmware and Knox !
You can flash the MC2 firmware in Odin or find the complete stock rom and use super user app to disable knox that is what I did on my Note 3 with KitKat.. You can also use titanium backup and uninstall all the knox software/apps or just freeze them your choice. That is the only way to use any firmware past MC2 on this device and not have knox I believe. I have seen a zip before for one of my phones to disable Knox but I can not remember which device it was for between my wife and I she has the Note 2 and I have the S3 and the Note 3. Honestly knox does not seem like that big of a deal to me it is still on my S3 and does not bother besides bugging me to update security polices.

[MOD][HOWTO][MK4][JB4.3] Add Additional Toggles to Quick Settings ( Root Required )
OMG people. Wifi patch has always been through Odin from a PC. Please do what they say!!!
FYI I believe (It's been forever since I've used it) you have to extract it first to get the .tar and then flash that with the PDA option on Odin (and of course do NOT click repartition box)
Also 2 interesting observations so far.
1) Samsung/Sprint really have this bloated I have 8.8MB remaining on the ROM partition (obviously it barely fits)
2) After flashing philz said I wasn't rooted but I told it NO do not root and of course everything works perfect (I'm guessing hitting YES would have worked too but haven't tried)
Yes it does work. Can confirm here as well
Yes it does. I gave root and booted up without issues

When would these mods be available to us? Eagerly waiting to flash these mods!
Rom is excellent. Battery looks better than on mk4.

Read the op dude. That's what they are there for. I would probably do it since you are on mc2
Yes and in the op, it said if you are on 442, then I didn't need to. There was nothing said about firmware version.
I'm on vacation now and cannot access Odin, so I was hoping to avoid it.

66Welcome 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.

Wait wont be much longer. I now have a fully working stock rooted deknoxed NE2 base I will be posting shortly. Then the deodexed base will be a few hours behind. After that I will get a base Community Rom and new beta S5-FEAT a few hours after that. Things are going better today than the last couple of days. LOL!!224.4.2.PORT.v1.8-S5FEAT-R3Ds for Sprint
Okay I will make a new OP for the 4.4.2.PORT.v1.8-S5FEAT-R3Ds real soon. It will be a completely different rom from this one. The S5FEAT will be a direct port of someone else’s work (verizon note 2) and will not have anything that the original ROM does not have. So please dont ask to have anything added or changed.
4.4.2 Community Rom
The Community Rom will be its own rom with everything done by Sprint note 2 users. It will be created using original work. It will have N3 and S5 features but they will be done from scratch using stock N3 and S5 roms. Chaz has offered to them the work so you know it will look cool.
Current Issue
While looking over things (on Community Rom) I noticed that I messed up. Many know that most items in /bin and /xbin are symlinks to toolbox and busybox. When I did the pull from my phone it copied the symlinks as the actual file which has really increased the size of the rom. This was only an issue on the rom posted in the OP. My tester version was corrected before it went out. If they could post screen shots showing the usage of the system partition it has more free space. I also did not get the updated superSU.apk or binary installed. I will be putting out an update that has those things fixed along with some of the bloat moved over to /data/app. If you are happy with the current version do not worry about installing the update since there wont be any noticeable changes.21
