~UPDATES~

Note: I will be keeping all versions of my roms separate in THIS thread. Im doing this for a couple reasons. The first is because OG Slimfast is aimed at stock/slim/fast. So everything after v-1 is not considered to be as stable since im starting to add different things that MAY break other functions. Also so everyone has access to whichever version works best for them.

Fix- Change Cingular APN in Network Settings to AT&T or whatever carrier your usings APN for working MMS and LTE (AT&T APN Below)

Can I flash this on my N7105? And which Boot loader does this use?

I believe this should work on almost all model note 2's. Not sure what boot loader this needs but I can tell you I haven't updated mine. The only thing I did was update to the latest philZ CWM recovery. Flashes and works perfectly.

    So let me make a couple statements.

    1. None of my ROMS contain a virus AND THEYRE NOT sending your info to the NSA or wherever you think they're being sent to.

    2. I haven't been responding much because I've been working a lot and I've also been working on trying to compile cm11 with linaro and its taking up all my free time.

    3. There are plenty of knowledgeable members following this thread that can help you with most of your issues if you ask nicely enough ?

    4. This ROM is stable enough for daily use. Myself and plenty of other users have had little to no issues with this ROM. If you are having issues, more than likely you need to redownload the ROM and make sure the file size matches to what mediafire is saying it is. Completely wipe everything except your SD's and flash again.

    5. If anyone have any xp building AOSP source and using linaro cross compiler please pm me as I am running into a couple error I can't find or figure out fixes for. Thanks guys ☺
