Merry Christmass and Happy New Year to everybody!

Great News.
I just burnt this ROM (v2) and it’s great. Everything working great and fast so far.
Finally a ROM developed for this device. Thank you Valera1978.

I know this topic will be very busy after the hollydays, because half of the note pro owners have the Snapdragon version, and this ROM is great news for this crowd which was abandoned on their own untill now, but not anymore.

(OBS: mind you I have the SM-P905M, which is known to have a different modem hardware than the international SM-P905, so I didn’t expected to get LTE or 3G working, but I don’t use it anyway, because I thether from my phone, as most people do. Probably, in the future someone will figure out a way to burn the proper modem software for this particular version. Everything else is working great.)

Again, thanks Valera 1978.

After some tests i realized that i couldn't get video record working. Seems like the camera is recording, but looks like the video is not saved anywhere. I'll do some more testing. Photo is OK.

@Valera1978
Hey my friend, thanks for your excellent work!
However in the 26/12 I had lost the 3g/4g capability.. In fact, I have a message here saying that there is no simcard. By the way, my tablet is a p905m.. But I was using a p905 LP firmware without any problem.. and in 25/12 build, simcard was working flawlessly.. Any clue? When I check Mobile Network in settings, there is no option for GSM but only for CDMA.. Maybe that's the problem..
Once more, thanks!

Hello.

Thank's for your hard work. One question I have before I install it: What about root in this ROM ?

Many thanks...

Root is working flawlessly. The rom is awesome, smooth as butter, fast like a lighting.. stable so far.. impressive work that @Valera1978 did, kudos to him!
The only problem I faced so far is gsm network that is missing on this last rom. I got a missing sim card message.. besides that it's a like CM official release for sure. Thanks to @Valera1978

 

[andrew.mackew]

For those in P905M this rom is totally compatible with your tablet.
Just pick the 12/25 version that has Mobile Network completely functional if you cannot stand without it.. but you gonna be without sound until our beloved dev @Valera1978 fix it.
If you can go without Mobile Network and don't wanna stand without sound pick the last release.. you are good to go, however, without 3G/4G capability..
Hopefully our beloved dev gonna release us soon the best of both world, I mean, and fully functional and interchangeable rom for both P905 and P905M :good: :good: :good:

andrew. mackew, was you able to record an play the recorded video with the v2 (26/12)?

root is working ok for me, but su# was not installed automatically as usual in custom roms, so i installed it afterwards. I've just learned that su# is not really needed but it improves security by not granting root automatically to any app that requests root.

I was under the impression that sm-p905M and SM-P905 had different modem hardware, because i read it somewhere in the forum, and i could never get 3G/LTE woking on my 905M with a 905 Rom. Maybe that's the case for Latin America, where the 3g/4g frequencies are different from those used in USA. I'm not shure if the modem hardware is really different, if only the frequencies in Latin America are different or if it's all compatible despite the differences.

All P905 and P905M have interchangeable modem if the bootloader is from the same Android branch.. (KK, LP, MM... )
To have it working properly, you have to first update to the last P905M Lollipop firmware and only after that to flash the latest P905 Lollipop firmware.
You can use flashfire to do that. If for any reason you don't get to install the modem properly, you need to flash the modem tar or md5 file through Odin separately from the rest of the firmware.
Doing this, you are good to go to use the P905 firmware in a completely functional way. :good:

 

[andrew.mackew]

New build up!!!
Thanks @Valera1978! You're the best! :good: :good: :good:
Looking forward to have your builds become CM official! :good: :good: :good:

EDITED: Just an update, the rom is working flawlessly. No bugs so far. Thanks to @Valera1978

Does IrDA work in this ROM?

 

[andrew.mackew]

Does IrDA work in this ROM?

Seems to be not working for now, using smart remote.
Please @Valera1978, could you take a look over this?

Hey, I didn't face such issue so far.
What is your modem version? Be sure to have the latest one (P905) installed and then try again.
The only issue so far is that IR is not working.. but for sure @Valera1978 is already looking over this.
