[ROM] Rwilco12's Mostly Stock NE2 v1.3 (1/24/15) (Updater, Debloated, and more!)

[distaula]

Link Mirror?

Does anyone have the Test Rom? I could find a way to host it or even set up a read-only Bittorrent Sync link for easier downloading.

EDIT: And by 'easier' I mean not constrained by a third party hosting service, the community's bandwidth would be the pipes.

Ok I was poking around and was looking at your 1.2 beta build you have for 10-8, installed it, got to say man im extremely impressed sir, the sound issue is gone, I even installed the sound fix for MK4 and dude this thing sounds and running great so far dude......

Installation instruction

Hello, guys!

After reading all the posts, I've got the following question on how to install the rom:

I saw the post that NE2.tar must be flashed before this rom when you came from 4.1.2.

Since I am in the LORJAY589's MK4 Rom, do I need to do the same thing first?
After then, I can flash Rwilco12's Mostly Stock NE2?

Thanks for any tips.

If you re running a MK4 ROM then I would assume you have already odin flashed the MK4 wifi patch or have already taken the MK4 and/or NE2 OTA... otherwise coming from any rom pre 4.3 ROM would cause wifi to not work unless you have taken the MK4 or NE2 OTA. So with this said, it sounds like you can go ahead and flash this ROM normally. Just nandroid and do full wipes first. If you're using TWRP recovery it needs to be the 2.8 version (which can only be found on one of the last few pages in their their thread) otherwise use Phil's recover 6.07.9 or newer.

Thank you for your reply.

Unfortunately, I did NE2.tar flash from Rwilco12's website (Root > Files > Devices > Samsung Galaxy Note II (SPH-L900) > Stock ROMs > NE2).
It seems OK to work except that knox void is set to 1.
Is it normal?
After flashing the rom, is my phone rooted?
I would like to use Tasker for some automation work.

Thanks again for any help.

People, thanks for the interest in the "RW 1.0 S5 Test ROM" but as it is right now I do not want to create mirror links or otherwise continue sharing this "test" version. Reason being is that it is a test/concept that I started and it needs several bugs fixed before it is worthy of sharing to the public. As I mentioned earlier, I am leaving this up to @rwilco12 to decide if and how this test rom evolves. I have been trying to fix a few things but I'm having to learn smali & xml code on my own so it's taking me a bit longer than I like... Nobody is holding my hand in this project LOL. I'm having to figure out things the hard way and to me that's the best way to learn.

To the few testers that I sent the link to: Please PM me if you find additional bugs and if you have the desire and ability to troubleshoot as well as edit smali/xml code. I could use the help. Thanks.

I'm having to figure out things the hard way and to me that's the best way to learn. I'm just wanting to add the Sprint system update feature to the settings menu and fix some minor bugs here and there and call it good. This is not going to be a long drawn out project. It is what it is... a simple revamp of @rwilco12's ROM. Nothing more, nothing less.

I'm not sure if that rom is stock unrooted or if it is rooted. I'm sure he give a description with his link. Incase it's not rooted, you will first need to download the odin version of Phil's recovery 6.07.9 or newer. Flash it on your PC but uncheck the reboot option in odin and/or immediately pull the battery once it finishes flashing. Next put you battery back in and reboot straight to recover ONLY. In Phil's settings select "re-root" device option then go to reboot system and let the phone reboot. Immediately go to google Play store and download SuperSU and once it installs immediately open it and select the option to remove KNOX. Once that is complete you should be good. At that point you can reboot to recovery and flash the rom of your choice. No need to flash any othe wifi or bootloader fixes coming from NE2.

Knox warranty void

Thanks for the detailed reply.

Now, I have rooted Rwilco12's NE2 rom.
But "Knox warranty void" is set to 1.

Can I still flash the custom rom in the future?

That's my concern.

Thanks in advance.

 

[Doc50000]

Are there any OC kernel's that work with this rom, thanks

Knox Warranty only effects Samsung warranty so unless your phone is still under factory warranty it doesn't matter that it's triggered. Once it's triggered it can't be undone as far as I know. But who cares about that anyway? the phone is out of warranty for almost every Note II owner out there. You can flash whatever rom you want now and in the future. You have nothing to be concerned about..

Check @jlmancuso's community rom thread as well as the Devil kernel thread.

There appear to be issues with the latest version of SuperSU and compatibility with v1.1. I would recommend not taking the SuperSU update for now.

Just curious... For those of you on v1.0 still, do you have the same issues with the latest SuperSU update?

Yep I'm on 1.1 so that is the case even try su 213 and only some apps get grant su so nand back which has 202 and it fine will stick with 202 not updating

[enormous]

I'm on 1.0 and have had the issue with updating SuperSU as well.

 

[hhgreg]

Reporting the same issue

Same here for SU update.
I am on v1.1 and rolled back to older SU now.

 

[spodemaster]

Update on weirdness.
I'm still on version 1.0 but need to probably reinstall.
I made the mistake of allowing superSU to update and chose the option to let the os handle it instead of CWM.
Now root doesn't work, I've tried installing the zip via recovery.
I've tried repairing root via philz recovery, then installing via playstore
then again trying philz root repair, then install via zip.

Root doesn't work anymore.
The first weird issue I noticed that let me know root was dead was WeChat stopped working application manager was reporting it was using 467gb of data :|
So I guess I'm looking at trying v1.1
Hey does it have flashlight mode?

Otherwise this rom has been one of the best I've used on the GN2 so far!!!! Thanks a million.
