digiblurROM MK4 Note2 Deodex - 2014.01.23

ATTENTION Thin Skinned Users: Dry humor ahead 1 post.

I've always enjoyed a nice simple to the point ROM on my phone. It seems many ROMs start out as this but tend to stray quickly so I have shared mine for everyone to hate or enjoy. If you are looking for some heavily themed ROM with 68 notification toggles, everything turned purple, etc, then press the back button now.

What the ROM does NOT have:
- Some cute build name
- A cool team name
- beta or alpha version number
- themes
- crazy zombie jumping out the phone for a boot screen
- kiddie boot sounds
- annoying Sprint boot animation/sound
- dumb Sprint shut down animation/sound
- stupid camera shutter sound during screen shots and camera usage(turn off in camera settings)
- idiotic 777468(SPRINT) code requirement on the ##DEBUG# menu (entire prompt is gone)
- MSL code checks on ##DATA# Editing (to quickly turn off LTE without a reboot or MSL code)
- tons of Samsung & Sprint bloat
- 1.21 gigawatts of overclocking
- unnecessary carrier customizations that screws up your Sensorly points
- eyeball icon in the taskbar (removed properly)
- redundant "You have lost data..blah blah" message when switching to roaming (we have a triangle on our signal already!)
- full battery charge notification
- sympathetic support team
- Sprint connection optimizer toggling your wifi and spying on the usage of the neighborhood's open wifi access point
- KNOX garbage and knags
- Headphone volume level too loud nag

What it does have:
- Proper base with Sprint sales code
- 1X signal type display corrected (shame on you Sprint!! Tested and works!)
- modified battery icons with battery percentage
- PRL Write enabled in the ##DATA# menu (-PRL Thread Here-)
- 4-in-1 reboot mod
- A mod that announces "I'm watching porn!" every 30 seconds if you write those dumb 00001 PRLs (I wish!)
- All apps multi-window mod built from proper MK3 base files
- KISS principle
- Dry humor in the ROM first post and continued posts throughout the thread by the ROM author
- Google Maps 6.14.2 w/KML layer usage (remove updates if it gets auto-updated)
- Blacked out Google Hangouts (the way it should look!)

Screenshots
None needed as it is stock. Just a status bar shot is necessary

Disclaimer:
This ROM might eat your phone, USB cable, charger, SD card, unborn child, children, significant other, fried chicken, and/or anything else you own. As with any phone modifications you are own your own and accept all responsibilities of doing so by downloading/flashing anything contained on this website or any other website.

How to upgrade to digiblurROM MK4

***Please backup any pictures, info, documents, etc from your device to separate device/computer!***

I recommend a pure 4.3 updated phone but this does mean you will have the KNOX bootloader warranty value tripped. If you do not prefer to have a 4.3 pure phone then please skip to the section for flashing with the 4.1.x bootloader.

1. You will need to be on the 4.3 stock version of Android for the Sprint Note2. To accomplish this you can either use one of the one touch ODIN back to 4.1.x unrooted stock and let the 4.3 update download and install. Or you can flash the full 4.3 ODIN update.

Instructions for returning to Stock unrooted 4.1.x:

http://www.sxtpdevelopers.com/showthread.php?t=228

Instructions for going straight to 4.3 unrooted:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2591898

2. Once you are on the Stock 4.3 update please verify the baseband and such in the Settings -> About phone. For safe measure make sure your cellular and WiFi data connection and voice connections work as well.

3. If you are not familiar with getting into recovery mode I suggest reading this: Recovery mode is a bit tricky at times. If you're a second too early or too late, your phone will skip going into recovery and boot normally. If this happens you will have to repeat the Odin process in it's entirety. So unless you are familiar with this, I would give it a few practice runs before starting Odin: Recovery mode is achieved pressing and holding "volume UP, power button and the (physical) home button simultaneously. Watching the screen closely, release all 3 buttons as soon as you see the word Samsung. If timed correctly it will boot into recovery in about 10-20 seconds (after releasing). Remember if you are too early or late the phone will boot normally and skip recovery.

4. First get ODIN on your machine and working with your phone. I already had ODIN and the drivers from a while back on my machine but I believe you can get the standard Samsung and Odin driver/app here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2011491

5. Download the latest TWRP or Philz Recovery for the Sprint Samsung Note2. Get the ODIN flashable TAR. Your decision, both work fine but some people claim Philz is better for Android 4.3 backups and restores

TWRP:

http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/117

Philz CWM:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2552653

6. Download the the latest digiblurROM for the Note2. Verify the ZIP file and copy it to the internal or external SD card of the Note2.

7. Power off the Note2 with no USB cable attached, go ahead and remove the back cover for easy removal of the battery after flashing.

8. Get into download mode by pressing and holding volume down, power button and the (physical) home button simultaneously. You will continue to hold all 3 buttons until you see a warning. Then press the volume up button and you will be in download mode.

9. Plug in the USB cable into your phone and open ODIN. If ODIN is working you should see a COM port listed in the box towards the upper left.

10. Verify that both Auto Reboot and F. Rest Time are UNCHECKED.

11. The only check mark should be next to PDA. Select PDA and browse to the TAR file you downloaded for TWRP or CWM.

12. Hit start. Watch the progress on the upper left. Once recovery is installed, pull the battery, so the phone doesn't reboot normally, and disconnect the usb cable.

13. VERY IMPORTANT. You will need to reboot into Recovery mode without the phone booting up normally! If you miss it then the phone will boot into the OS and overwrite the recovery you just installed.

14. Once you are in TWRP/Philz CWM, I do recommend doing a full data/factory reset.

15. Install the digiblurROM zip by choosing the options to install the ZIP.

16. After the successful install of the digiblurROM zip flash, reboot the device using the reboot option in TWRP/CWM.

17. The phone will take a few minutes longer during this initial boot due to building the cache/dalvik. Do not worry, this is normal.

18. Go through the standard Android setup process. Please note, the Play Store and other apps may appear to hang as the Google Services framework is updating to the latest version. I have included the older 6.x version of Google Maps for those that prefer this version since it allows KML layers and other features. The Play Store will automatically update this app when on WiFi, turn this option off and uninstall any updates to Google Maps if you prefer this version.

19. Enjoy!

How to Flash with the 4.1.x bootloader

1. I will assume you already have a custom recovery installed. I would take this time to update it to the latest version before continuing. You can find the links to TWRP and CWM above for updating.

2. Flash the MK4 baseband via recovery:. http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23212708291682160

3. Reboot and verify the baseband installed.

4. Download the the latest digiblurROM for the Note2. Verify the ZIP file and copy it to the internal or external SD card of the Note2.

5. Reboot into Recovery mode. If you do not have a ROM installed with a Reboot into Recovery mode option please power the device off and use this method: Recovery mode is achieved by pressing and holding "volume UP, power button and the (physical) home button simultaneously. Watching the screen closely, release all 3 buttons as soon as you see the word Samsung. If timed correctly it will boot into recovery in about 10-20 seconds (after releasing). Remember if you are too early or late the phone will boot normally and skip recovery.

6. Once you are in TWRP/Philz CWM, I do recommend doing a full data/factory reset.

7. Install the digiblurROM zip by choosing the options to install the ZIP.

8. After the successful install of the digiblurROM zip flash, reboot the device using the reboot option in TWRP/CWM. Your wifi may not work, we will fix this after the reboot.

9. The phone will take a few minutes longer during this initial boot due to building the cache/dalvik. Do not worry, this is normal.

10. Go through the standard Android setup process. Please note, the Play Store and other apps may appear to hang as the Google Services framework is updating to the latest version. I have included the older 6.x version of Google Maps for those that prefer this version since it allows KML layers and other features. The Play Store will automatically update this app when on WiFi, turn this option off and uninstall any updates to Google Maps if you prefer this version.

11. If your WiFi is not working - Since you have the older bootloader you will need to flash the WiFi fix found here via ODIN: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47817184&postcount=81

FAQ

Q: Why doesn't <replace dumb bloat feature here> work?
A: Probably because the APK was removed to make the ROM lean and mean. I have included a 7zip of the removed APKs themselves. If you need a feature such as Accuweather, Swype, etc you will need to put the APKs in the ZIP before flashing. It's simple. Just put them in the /system/app folder in the ZIP before flashing. That's it!

All in the way you took it.

looks interesting but what is missing. you stated that there's no samy bloatware. what do you consider bloatware? allcast? the samy camera? paper artist? s note? s calander? you stated there's not screenies because it's stock. but you mentioned that it wasn't.

That is why is wish more people can write reviews on the roms. that way people within the community don't have to sit around all day flashing roms only to find out it's not what they are looking for. case in point: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2138317&page=11 I just wanted to let everyone know what they were walking into. didn't meant to make a few people cry about lolcats and stuff. I don't know how to do that ****. My only expertise is to write about what I see.

Then I flashed the labrats thinking this is the one. OMG, what a tacky boot up screen. and when I pulled down the drop down notification tab...that's it, this rom has got to go. (No disrespect to them, I read their post and they worked hard on it, they also quickly answered all posts and they are active which was more than the previous rom...it's just something for not me. I could probably change the the pull down picture, but the point isn't that)

sorry for hijacking your thread to rant, wished there were more clues as to what comes with the rom, basically a feature list and you know, we will die without more screenies!!

Nice, solid, no-nonsense ROM. Love it.

BTW, since you removed all the AllShare stuff, you should remove FWUpgrade.apk, too. That's what triggers the download of the AllShare Cast dongle firmware update from the market, and since your ROM doesn't have AllShare, the firmware update will just waste space.

Also, if I just want your status bar on MA7 stock, do I just pull your SystemUI.apk and then push it to /system/app ?

Re: [ROM] [MA7] [2013/02/19] digiblur ROM

Thanks for the recommendations as I do have a few other things I am looking to clean out. As a pointed out I am a one man crew and this is just a small hobby. I always created clean roms for myself and figured I would share this time around.

I will see if I can throw together a list of apks I removed. They are easy to throw back in and do your own thing.

Things I am looking at are removing the eyeball thing, roaming notification in status bar(dumbest ever!), connection optimizer, etc.

I know this should be a given, but just want to make sure.

When you say flash the all-in-one firmware from t3, you mean the deodex one, correct?

Thanks!

    11. If your WiFi is not working - Since you have the older bootloader you will need to flash the WiFi fix found here via ODIN: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47817184&postcount=81

    I just finished up and posted the S3 version. The changes should be the same between the two. I was working on both but decided to push forward and get the S3 done as I had the device to test on. I do not have the Note2 in possession but I do have a device to send test builds to. My goal is to have it out in a week if everything goes as planned.

    I figure I should update this instead of just dropping off the earth. Unfortunately for the Note2 users I've moved on to the Nexus5 and no longer have a Note2 to develop/test on. I appreciate all the great thank-you's I've received from all of you, it made it all worth it! Thanks!

    As of now, this is where the era of the digiblur Note2 ROM ends. What now? A few options: 1. Do nothing and disable the notification to receive updates. 2. Disable the notifications and write the new MK4 baseband (confirmed by many it works great, including myself). 3. Drop my ROM like your ex-old lady, shake it off and move to something better! I recommend the_plattypus's work. He does a great job with his ROMs. Check out his SynergyROM here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2090160

    Thanks again and see you guys around.

    Thanks for the testing! The OP has been updated with the new ROM download.

    I will say this once in here and then I will leave you guys alone. (Just trying to be proactive before it gets to a point where it gets out of hand).

    ~This is not a thread to rant about what YOU think the rom should be, or what YOU think the OP should say.

    ~This is not a thread to try and bring up an already dead argument from another thread.

    ~The rules are simple here: If it isn't relevant to this rom, then there isn't any reason to be posting at all in here. Be respectful when posting. Respect is EVERYTHING.

    If you have a sincere question, then by all means ask. If you knowingly post something that will cause an issue, then that post will disappear and the person posting it might disappear for a little also. Not trying to sound threatening or trying to "flex my muscle" (believe me I'm pretty weak :p ), just giving a fair warning for all to see. Have a good day and happy flashing.
