[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][11.0][ N7105/T0LTE ][Samsung Galaxy Note 2 LTE][ LineageOS 18.1 ][BETA][TREBLELIZED]

[Deleted member 11848357]

Ah ok, I will try this.

The display brightness is set to 20% as minimum value.

Yeah, I saw ro.lcd_min_brightness is set to 20 so I changed it to 10/1
with no effect on each.

both
settings get system screen_brightness
cat /sys/class/backlight/panel/brightness
shows 30 not 20
with default settings and with changes to ro.lcd_min_brightness
both echo 10/1 > /sys/class/backlight/panel/brightness and
settings put system screen_brightness 10/1 don't work
autobrightness is off with brightness level showing 0 % in settings

maybe limitation of driver/panel? I'll have to dig around to see what Samsung defaults are.

reason for all this is that - if you use the brightness slider, there's isn't very noticeable difference until you're at 40% so 20% is same as 0%.

I also added qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 to build.prop so I can get gesture navigation for easier one-handed use.
Works decently even with physical/capacitve buttons

Hi,

here you can find my version for the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 LTE on LineageOS 18.1.
At first I want to thank @rINanDO, @ChronoMonochrome for all your work which was reused here and helped a lot.

This ROM is only tested with N7105, so maybe you could to give me a feedback if it does or does not work with all the different Note 2 LTE variants.

Attention:
I would recommend to set the device to 3G, at the moment, you have to reset the APN settings after every boot to enable mobile data, I'm working on this.
But you're free to test LTE and report your experience.

It theoretically should fit for:

• SGH-I317
• SGH-I317M
• SCH-I605
• SPH-L900
• SGH-T889
• SHV-E250S
• SHV-E250K
• SHV-E250L
• SC-02E
• GT-N7105/N7105T
• SGH-T889V
• SHV-E250S/E250K/E250L
• SC-02E (SGH-N025)

Here you can see how far everything is working:

Spoiler: Whats working

Boot
Audio
Bluetooth
Graphics
Cameras
Wifi
USB
Video playback (HW/SW)
OTA Updates
RIL
GPS, but there's no fix
Tethering via USB, WIFI and Bluetooth
Sensors, except compass

Spoiler: Whats not working

• Maybe some apps because of video decoding issues
• GPS fix, but navigating is working fine
• SIM might be not detected / Data might be not available upon boot (reboot to fix).
• Maybe random reboots because of a modem crash
• Maybe more

Spoiler: Links

TWRP
ROM

If you are going to use Gapps,
I recommend to use the pico package!
https://opengapps.org/
For the others, you can use microG if you want, I've enabled signature spoofing.

Do you like my work?
Than you can simply hit the thanks button and consider to spend me a coffee or a beer,
I'm doing this in my free time and it also costs a lot of money to buy hardware.
donate

Spoiler: How to install it?

just for information
ill try on my device SHV-E250S
the Lineage OS is good but
the problem is Wifi and SIM Card can't connected, just it

can someone tell me OS recomended 100% work for SHV-E250S
or GT-N7100, 100% i mean the sim card is good, wifi working good without instaling fix-murata.zip ( but if murata.zip can help no problem ) and gapps can fit the android without error. thankyou

 

[html6405]

reason for all this is that - if you use the brightness slider, there's isn't very noticeable difference until you're at 40% so 20% is same as 0%.

This is because of the changed auto brightness behaviour from android 11 itself, I would have to overwork the values in the driver + create some new overlay values.

the problem is Wifi and SIM Card can't connected, just it

The sim part is still buggy, but I'm working on this to get it more stable.
Theoretically, it should get recognized, maybe after the second reboot and if you wan't to use the mobile data, you have to reset the APN settings after every boot.
Wifi is working fine in my case, what exactly happens?

or GT-N7100

Nope, this is for the N7105...

in smdk4412 kernel - drivers/video/backlight needs what?

 

[html6405]

in smdk4412 kernel - drivers/video/backlight needs what?

I can't tell you know, but as I did on the Samsung Galaxy S3, it could be that the values from 0 to 255 need to get customized.
I will improve the backlight values anyway soon, this is just the first alpha build, so at first I will conentrate on the RIL part, afterwards autobrightness and other stuff.

thanks no rush, I'm just learning this stuff as a hobby.

 

[Robs03]

Can someone please explain how to minimize a window that you have open on the Samsung Note 2 like how you can in Microsoft Windows?

On a previous Lineage version the menu button on the Note 2 when pressed would show all the apps open in a layered type affect and I could then press whichever app to open it again in full screen.

Thanks

press the menu button one second, you can customize this in settings->buttons.

Update 26.10.2021:

• Fixed modem crash issue in Kernel, the connection still get's lost sometimes and you still have to reset the APN settings after every boot, I'm working on this...
• Fixed OTA-Update path, please upgrade manual this time

 

[html6405]

Update 31.10.2021:

• Fixed GPS week rollover issue
• Fixed S-Pen gestures

 

[jim28gun]

thanks for this.

Getting "E2001: Failed to update vendor image." during clean flash.
Your LineageOS 16.0 builds work fine. Probably related to Project Treble?

same as you. i cant flash this rom.
can u give a solution? how to fix this?

 

[Deleted member 11848357]

same as you. i cant flash this rom.
can u give a solution? how to fix this?

hey, yeah it depends on what you have currently running on your device
and your comfort level with diy - which baseband/rom/twrp do you have now

basically, what's happeneing to TMo Note 2s is that the HIDDEN partition is too small (~20MB) to repurpose for use as the vendor partition for treble roms. The HIDDEN partition contains carrier bloatware that reinstalls on every factory reset. International Note2s have a much larger partition (~550MB).

maybe, @html6405 can add a partition size logic check to /META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script ?

there are three solutions:

a) since it's recommend to flash twrp through odin/heimdall, a modified .pit (partition information table) with correct sizes can also be flashed at the same time. There's a tool called Pit Magic that can do this.

b) a flashable twrp script - needs to be made

c) manually repartition using parted through adb shell/can be done through twrp also I suppose

I went the manual way, since for me, it's a time one thing.

I'll add a manual tutorial later since I don't have the note 2 in front of me.

1. Connect usb and boot in TWRP recovery on Note 2
2. In terminal type

adb devices  #Will show phone in recovery mode
adb push location/of/parted /
adb shell
chmod +x parted
umount /system
umount /data
umount /cache
umount /sdcard
./parted /dev/block/mmcblk0

Now you're in parted console

Only modify partitions from 12 -16 :
Otherwise, you will have to flash stock .pit/rom to fix and start over

Your partition sizes will be the original values from stock if you never modified them. Below are mine after I modified them.

You can resize how ever you want but it's important to grow the HIDDEN (to use as vendor partition for treble) and SYSTEM (for gapps/future use) partition. I took space from CACHE partition as I don't think it's necessary anymore.

4.Partitions must be contiguous and in order so can't resize without deletion- type

rm 12
rm 13

Then reboot TWRP and flash the rom.

You might see some errors in TWRP so, you'll want to go to Wipe > Advanced Wipe > check "System" then head to "Repair or Change File System", > then tap on "Resize File System." Do the same for the other partitions.

OMG.. i do some mistake..
when i check my phone..
t889, i lost my imei and baseband.
i don't hava any backup..
how to fix this? i tried to inject and repair imei with z3x tool but still lost imei

Finally got this running on my I317 after multiple trial and errors flashing files to adjust the vendor partition its crazy to me this phone has android 11 nice work

You good sir are awesome.

However, using the parted you linked to ended with a "kernel too old" error when running in adb shell.

I searched around, and found this version, which worked.

 

[html6405]

OMG.. i do some mistake..

Maybe a simple repartition with Odin could have brought your IMEI back,
what exactly did you do?

I searched around, and found this version, which worked.

BTW, a working version of parted is included in the vendor image ,
I've included this for resizing the system partition for bigger GSI's.

This is how I managed to get the ROM to flash this (as far as I know) should be doable without a PC if TWRP is already flashed and there is an SD card in the phone. I don't know if this will work for any devices other than AT&T(I317) and T-Mobile (T889)

1. **BACKUP ENTIRE INTERNAL STORAGE** this will wipe your device.
2. Download the ROM, GAPPS, CWM.zip, TWRP.zip, and Note2-LTE_Repartition.zip and copy them to external SD Card
3. Reboot recovery (assuming TWRP is already flashed as the recovery)
4. Once in TWRP: Install -> CWM.zip -> Swipe to confirm Flash (device will reboot into CWM recovery)
5. Once in CWM: Install zip -> choose zip from /storage/sdcard1 -> Note2-LTE_Repartition.zip -> Yes - Install (device will reboot back into CWM)
6. Once in CWM #2: install zip -> choose zip from /storage/sdcard1 -> TWRP.zip -> Yes - Install (device will reboot into TWRP)
7. Once in TWRP #2: Swipe to Allow Modifications -> Wipe -> Format Data -> yes -> home button
8. Install -> Select Storage -> Micro SD Card -> OK -> select the ROM zip -> Swipe to confirm Flash
9. Flash GAPPS/Reboot System

-I had to flash CWM first because the zip was not doing anything when flashing it in TWRP but worked in CWM for some reason.

This is how I managed to get the ROM to flash this (as far as I know) should be doable without a PC if TWRP is already flashed and there is an SD card in the phone. I don't know if this will work for any devices other than AT&T(I317) and T-Mobile (T889)

1. **BACKUP ENTIRE INTERNAL STORAGE** this will wipe your device.
2. Download the ROM, GAPPS, CWM.zip, TWRP.zip, and Note2-LTE_Repartition.zip and copy them to external SD Card
3. Reboot recovery (assuming TWRP is already flashed as the recovery)
4. Once in TWRP: Install -> CWM.zip -> Swipe to confirm Flash (device will reboot into CWM recovery)
5. Once in CWM: Install zip -> choose zip from /storage/sdcard1 -> Note2-LTE_Repartition.zip -> Yes - Install (device will reboot back into CWM)
6. Once in CWM #2: install zip -> choose zip from /storage/sdcard1 -> TWRP.zip -> Yes - Install (device will reboot into TWRP)
7. Once in TWRP #2: Swipe to Allow Modifications -> Wipe -> Format Data -> yes -> home button
8. Install -> Select Storage -> Micro SD Card -> OK -> select the ROM zip -> Swipe to confirm Flash
9. Flash GAPPS/Reboot System

Thanks, I've wanted to create a zip anyway soon,
I will link your post on the start post.
