Support on this thread is for XenonHD related issues only.


While we do not mind helping, its getting impossible to sort through issues that are ROM related or not. Persistent non-ROM related issues are best suited for the Verizon Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting Section.

Below is a few things I would appreciate you list when you are having issues so we have as much information as possible when trying to help you with your problems.

• Is this a Clean flash
• Is this the stock kernel
• What firmware revision are you on
• What gapps package are you using
• Have you had this issue on other ROMs
• Do you have any apps that change/modify system preferences (Xposed, etc)
• Do you have any task killers installed

When I goto the download link its not very clear what one I need to DL and i605 isn't on the list just random folder names? I'm confused

Best Note 2 lollipop without a doubt!

Holy crap I don't know where to start by telling you, how thankful I am for this!
I'd like to share my experience!
I used this with open gapps mini along with Agni kernal right off the bat on install. I cannot find any problems at all! Its feature rich tons of excellent customizations not offered on any other ROM!
This is how ROM's should be!
Even data has been outstanding,
I did eventually have to delete the APN like on all other Lollipops I have driven today across 3 Midwestern states and my data has been solid!
I'm extremely pleased!
Bluetooth GPS hotspot everything is flawless!
On first boot it took a good 3mins on the logo once it booted oddly it booted to a blackscreen only option I had was with power button to restart or turn off. I choose restart and ever since its extremely perfect!
Thanks!

I have one feature request please add callrecorder in the phone settings. If by this time tomorrow I don't find any problem's you guys deserve a sweet donation for this!

Callrecorder is there. You should see a record button display while on a call. It will be saved in /sdcard/CallRecordings. Also, I'm not gonna lie to you. Data, like every ROM since 5.0 has its moments.

I changed the path but forgot to change the link, sorry about that

This is the new daily driver on the wife's Note 2.
I was so impressed, I poked around on c0urier.net and found a build for my S3.... It's my daily driver now too. Thanks for the good work!

 

[OffTheChainz]

Haha @big_edd I thought you was supposed to be the test dummy before your wife gets it? I know I'm comfortable giving this one to my wife. I'm so worn out of hearing something is wrong this or that isn't working lol I seen it on the forum but didn't pay much attention to it just cause it was so new and very little talk. Absolutely worth it! Fantastic ROM!

Just so you know, I don't have an s3 and changing the vib intensity will cause a fc, I'll get that taken care of hopefully soon.

I'm going to give this a whirl...open gapps okay to use with this? Does the stock kernel have O/C capability and if not would Shift-L kernel be okay or would something else be recommended?

 

[OffTheChainz]

@Gulfstream 650 I used Open gappps mini on both devices.
One I used Agni the other I left stock. I prefer Agni cause it seems to be the only Kernal with Volume boost.
Sadly after 48 hours or so the Mobile data started messing up and had to remove that odd APN just like all the other Lollipops on both devices.
Also I've had numerous glitches and actual device freezes and battery pulls today. Both my Notes seem to be running poor. Seems like something is stacking up. But that's outta my league I just now how to mess things up and make problems
Battery drain seems average.
I still like the numerous Modded features compared to others things like SuperSU is preinstalled in the settings screen along with screen recording and numerous other cool features.
Using LayersManager is kinda cool but none seem to be flawless always some kinda text somewhere I can't read after I think I got it fixed lol. Also wired headset button doesn't end call.
Good luck give it a few days to settle in. My first 2 days it ran great.

Do google voice commands through bluetooth work?

 

[garrettcorn]

Could someone post a link to the gapps they are using with this rom? Thanks guys, excited to give it a try!

UPDATE:
Going to give stock open gapps a try http://opengapps.org/ for anyone else with the same question. I'll report back with a review.

UPDATE2:
Had to install twrp (had philz) to get open gapps to install. Installed the Rom and Gapps and signed into my account, and WOW... I was coming from (don't laugh at me) android 4.3 I believe.. This Rom is blazing fast! I have 5.1 on my Nvidia Shield tablet and Nexus 7, but didn't realize how much I was missing on my phone until now. I haven't ran into any issues yet.

I also had great success for the first few days and now the data is flaking and my BT falls over and won't turn on without a reboot. Think I'm going back to KitKat to see if I have a hardware issue or something that won't work with LP and my Note 2.

@OffTheChainz try installing an updated webview and see if your freezing persists

Just to be clear, I wasn't asking anyone in particular...anyone can feel free to answer my question. Thanks.
