Hi,

here you can find my version for the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 on LineageOS 19.0.
At first I want to thank @rINanDO, @ChronoMonochrome for all your work which was reused here and helped a lot.

Attention: disable your SIM-PIN with a different device, otherwise it could get locked.

Spoiler: Links

TWRP
ROM

Spoiler: Whats working

• Boot
• Audio
• Bluetooth
• Graphics
• Cameras
• GPS
• Wifi
• USB
• Video playback (HW/SW)
• OTA Updates
• Tethering via USB, WIFI and Bluetooth
• Sensors, except compass
• RIL

Spoiler: Whats not working

• Screen Cast
• SIM-PIN Unlock, disable your PIN Code before
• Compass
• Maybe random reboots
• SD card can't be formated as internal memory, will cause a bootloop
• Maybe more

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

Thank you very much for your newest ROM for n7100!

You should be able to disable the always on display in the quick settings (AOD) and give your test a retry .

I wanna disable AOD. But I can't find quick settings. Please help me.

 

[galaxynote3mdy]

Theoretically it should be enabled by default (what I will change in the next build for sure), but anyway, it's good if you can turn it off yet.

How to find AOD in settings? I can't find it.

 

[html6405]

How to find AOD in settings? I can't find it.

You have to open the quicksettings and edit them, then add AOD.

Sir, I'm a greenhorn. Please give me detailed steps to follow. Thanks!

I'm making another report on usage.

with Google services installed, without turning on the airplane mode, with the Internet turned off - 10% of the charge was spent overnight.

in general, it holds more than previous firmware, but there is much to strive for.

bugs:

in the nav bar at the top in the right corner, the icons start with a drop off from the edge, the left combinations do not help

when the keyboard is opened, a line with the keyboard icon and its hiding is displayed at the bottom, it takes up the useful area of the screen

the play market sometimes comes out when you just scroll through the list of applications

sometimes the device settings crash when you also just scroll through the list

when you enter the settings in the gestures section, it opens for a second and crashes. if you swipe on the screen at this second, it does not fly out.

So far, I haven't found anything else.
in general, very good firmware, very fast, surprised that a 10-year-old phone can work so fast.
the interface is smooth, much faster, prettier and smoother than rr 5.8.5.

there are a couple of questions:

will it be possible to pay via Google Pay?

will the SD card be mounted as an internal storage?

 

[html6405]

will it be possible to pay via Google Pay?

As soon as the nfc is fixed, it should work (theoretically, I don't have the ability to test this).

will the SD card be mounted as an internal storage?

So far I didn't found a fix for this, so I can't promise.

I want to note that payment in online stores via Google Pay works, I meant contactless payment by phone via terminals.
---------
there is another point - there are no settings for the size of the segments on the lock screen, the clock is huge. to unlock the phone by pin - you need to swipe up from the bottom all over the screen, swipe does not work. the numbers in the pin code are very large, they take up the entire screen

Regarding the battery... Did you cycle AOD on and then off? It's a known bug to be fixed soon. What apps are reported as draining the battery? I just tested the phone overnight with wifi on, it predicts 7 days on battery.

Regarding the navbar... How do you use it in this phone together with HW buttons? Navbar occupies screen space.

The keyboard issue with the additional row occupied by the hiding and keyboard selection buttons... I struggle with this in the other modern Samsung running the stock ROM. It's not specific to this particular project. I would be hugely interested to see a solution if it exists... It may be related to the navbar enabled.

Regarding g pay. Although not a fan of g... the phone needs encryption and a functional Work profile for all sorts of secure work. None of the newer generation ROMs (Android 7 and above) for Note 2 support this. It could be an interesting project...

But it doesn't work yet with the firmware, or does it?
Yep these things will be improved, they are uncompleted at the moment.

I'm sorry, I said it wrong. not the nav bar, but the status bar at the top of the screen, where the charging percentage, notifications and time are.

regarding to the charge, the aod is turned off. battery statistics showed spending only from the standby mode of the mobile network, 6%. other applications were not affected, I think these are Google services. but on rr 5.8.5, 3-4% went overnight with the same number of cuts.

regarding to the keyboard - it's strange, in xiaomi, for example, the icon of the open keyboard is displayed in the status bar as a notification, and it can be hidden altogether.

regarding to gpay - I read about it, there was interest, that's why I asked this question)

 

[porcino]

The additional row under the keyboard is related to the navbar!

In a different phone with HW buttons I enabled the navbar, and the same additional row appeared.

Is there a way to completely disable the navbar in our ROM? There is no such an option in the settings.

very strange (I use gestures, there are no navigation buttons. tell me if you manage to disable them completely via adb

 

[porcino]

adb shell
su
setprop toggle_navbar true

No nav bar, the keyboard sits lower - more useful screen space! Thanks, it works.
Have some beer - cheers!

 

[html6405]

I'm not sure what you all want from me .

People wanted to enjoy full gesture navigation, but this works only with the software navbar so far,
this is why I've enabled it and created the toggle_navbar script .
So that you can switch if you want.

We will see how LineageOS wants to handle these things in future,
until then, we have my script .

You're right, and everything has it's advantage / disadvantage, it's alway's good if we can choose / decide what fits better.
