[ROM][8/1][N7105XXDMF2 ULTIMATE] Best International ROM for i317 Variants

[miscom]

BUTTERY SMOOTH, STABLE, FAST, AMAZING BATTERY LIFE!
BEST INTERNATIONAL ROM EXPERIENCE IN A NORTH AMERICAN PHONE

PLEASE READ!!!

From what I know, if you flash the MF2 ROM you should flash the Perseus Kernel because the stock kernel makes changes to the EFS partition making your current modem from the US and Canadian carrier unable to read the EFS partition.
The other thing is that once your are on MF2 you should not flash an older version ROM unless you are restoring from a backup that has the EFS partition in it.
I my case I flashed the MF2 ROM with the Perseus kernel and the latest AT&T modem included in my ROM and I am OK.

Please read this thread for more information

UPDATE: You should be OK if you flash the latest Modem and Stock kernel. Only for AT&T and T-Mobile. Sorry guys, but I haven't able to find the latest Rogers/Canadian Modem.

As always: PLEASE make a backup that includes your Modem and EFS partitions BEFORE flashing.

With AROMA Installer. Choose default options for a pure stock experience.

Confirmed working on AT&T, T-Mobile, Rogers, Bell and Telus.

LATEST CANADIAN STOCK MA3 FOR ROGERS, BELL and TELUS ON POST #3

What others are saying:

I'm so very, very glad I accidentally found out that AT&T ROMs can work on T-Mobile. The international ROM I had from the T-Mobile forums was starting to get pretty outdated. Big thanks!!!

Basically, instead of this being an aosp or cm rom that someone has tried to make work on our device (with bugs, s-pen & multiwindow features missing, etc) the OP has taken a stock rom that was built for our specific device, tweaked the crap out of the performance & battery life, and added a bunch of cool mods (call recording, themes, etc). It's rock solid, fast and has great battery life. Seriously, try it out!

This ROM is pure international stock N7105 for the i317.
So if you are a purist when it comes to ROMs or simply want a ROM that just works then this ROM is for you.
This is a great ROM to use as a base for modding or as a daily driver.
Stability, performance and battery life are my main objectives.

AT&T APN Settings
Because this ROM is Non-Wipe, when you flash it coming from a Stock AT&T ROM, you don't loose your current APN settings and LTE works right out of the box.
This ROM is a pure international ROM and it doesn't have the correct APNs for AT&T. So if you, for instance, reset the APN settings to default you will get WAP.CINGULAR settings and no more LTE.
In case you have lost your settings, see the thumbnails at the bottom of this post for the correct ones.

TELUS APN Settings -- Thanks to KUFEL
At the end of this post you will find a zip file containing the 5 screenshots for the TELUS APN needed to make LTE work with the ROM.

AT&T CSC Files LL4 and LL7 -- For the AT&T Die Hard in us
At the end of this post you will find two CSC files for LL4 and two CSC files for LL7.
Both are the same except for the background color in the email client. The first one is for a (B)lack background, the second one for a (W)hite one.
Why do you need to apply this file? Well, there are many reasons but one of them is this one:
If you wiped your original AT&T TOM before installing any of my ROMs, then Visual Voice Mail (VVM) won't work or you might not even be able to download it from Google Play. If you did a dirty flash (non-wipe) coming from AT&T to any of my ROMs then VVM will work.
Please remember to make a full backup of your ROM in case you want to revert back.

SNOTE Crash Fix -- Thanks to GR8CDNPumpkin
1. Open Samsung keyboard settings.
2. Go to languages.
3. Update languages.
4. Download English (US)
5. Select it in Languages.
6. In Application Manager, Force stop S Note, then clear data.
7. Go to second S Note and repeat step above. (First S Note is program, second is S Note Provider.)
8. Start S Note.
9. Win.

MODS COLLECTION
Some of you also asked about if the MODs from the N7105 can be flashed on this ROM. The answer is of course, provided that you match the Android version with the correct MOD. For instance don't flash a mod for Android 4.1.1 on a 4.1.2 ROM. It may work or it may not. I know that 4-in-1 is version specific.

Jamal Ahmed on the N7105 Forum has put together a nice collection of MODs for the N7100/N7105. You can find it here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32487083
It's pretty extensive. I hope you like it.

MODS USED IN THE ROM
23 Toggles
Blue Theme
Android 4.2 Camera and Keyboard
Extended Power Menu
GMail 4.2
Keyboard 4.2
Multiview Control
EMail white background
Pop-Up Browser
PLEASE NOTE: If you intend to flash the Blue Theme don't flash the 23 Toggles MOD because it's already part of the Blue Theme. Also if you flash the Blue Theme flash the Pop Up Browser last.

HOW TO GET INTO RECOVERY IF YOUR DEVICE IS IN A BOOT LOOP
Remove the battery and wait at least 20 seconds.
Re-insert the battery
Press VOL-UP + HOME KEY + POWER KEY
Keep them pressed until you boot into recovery
Restore from backup (you created a backup before flashing that zip that made your phone boot loop, didn't you?)

If instead of VOL-UP you press VOL-DOWN that will make your phone enter Bootloader mode. This is good in case you want to flash an AT&T Stock ROM via ODIN.

PERSEUS KERNEL
The Perseus kernel works with this ROM and you can get it from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1927852
As an added benefit Alpha 29.2 fixes the kernel security bug.

STOCK KERNELS
If you encounter issues after flashing a custom kernel you can flash the attached Stock Kernel from recovery and be back to normal.
Please note that this is only for DLL1, DLL4, DLL7, DMA6, DMA8 and DMB3 ROMs.
Download links are at the bottom of this post.

CUSTOM BOOT ANIMATION
All ROM Types work with this Custom Boot Animation.
Head out to that thread and choose the boot animation you like.
To flash: Boot into recovery, make a backup of your current ROM, flash the boot animation.
Thank you BLUMESA for finding the issue and helping me test it.

LATEST AT&T MODEM FROM 02/15/13 OTA WITH RIL FILES
This is modem I317UCAMA4 for the AT&T Galaxy Note II (i317)
Flash it from recovery after making a backup of your current modem.
ATTI317UCAMA4 Modem
ATTI317UCAMA4 Modem WITH RIL FILES

Latest Canadian Modem with RIL files from 01/31/13.
Latest Canadian Modem with RIL files from 01/31/13. -- MIRROR 1 Thank you TORONTOR for asking for this option!

SAMMY AT&T KEYBOARD PATCH
This Feature file will restore the AT&T Stock keyboard functionality back.
Find the file attached at the end of this post.

GOOGLE CAMERA 4.2 CRASHES WHEN USING FLASH
Camera 4.2 freezes and crashes whenever the flash is used and you get a garbage (empty JPG) picture.
The workaround is to keep the shutter button pressed for a few seconds, it will flash, then release the button and the camera will take the picture with flash.

FACTORY ROMS FLASHABLE THROUGH PC ODIN
Go to to this page and on the search box enter N7105 and press enter.
You will see there all the factory ROMs from Samsung for the International Note II N7105. If you want to see the ROMs for AT&T Note II enter i317 in the search box.
All those ROMs are flashed using PC ODIN and it's a good way to get your phone back to factory state.
But remember: If you have an AT&T Note II you download and flash an i317 ROM

GOOGLE VOICE SEARCH MAY CRASH AFTER UPDATING TO LATEST ROMs TYPE 2 and TYPE 3
If Google Voice Search crashes, follow these steps to fix it:

1. Go to System Settings --> Application Manager. Scroll down until you find "Google Search".
2. Tap on Google Search --> Force Stop --> Uninstall Updates; then Clear data too
3. Go to to System Settings; scroll down until you find under Accounts the Google entry. Tap on it --> Tap on the Google email address and choose "Remove Account"
4. Don't panic. Nothing will be lost.
5. Start "Play Store" and enter your Google account. Update Google Search to the latest version.

Thanks to wlavallee for finding this issue.

FLASH PLAYER
At the end of this post you will find a zip file for Adobe Flash Player. Flash it from recovery. This will fix Flash Player for all of my ROMs up to LL7 v1.
LL7 v1.1 will have it included.

Nice, is this LJ5 or LJ3. Your screen shot is showing LJ3

This sounds promising! Please keep up the good work!

Question, does the multi-window feature allow you to add any apps into the list or does it only allow pre-approved apps?

It seems that the public share was shutdown due to excessive traffic.

I will try to set a mirror up as soon as I can. If anyone can offer a mirror for the time being that I can add to this thread that would be awesome.

Thank you for your support.

This is stock ROM. Multi-Window works with only allowed apps. But I have seen a few mods here in this forum that will allow for editing the list.

Anyway great job rom is sweet!
