[ROM] [VECTUS] GN2 [V0.6] 4.4.2 (02-09-2014)

[VECTUS]

Ok I don't have a fancy Name folks... So GoogleNote2 (GN2) will suffice... This is just a little hobby rom I use. It's based on CM and designed to mimick the Nexus 5. So KISS is the word (keep it simple stupid). This rom is not fancy at all... It's vanilla actually. But thats for a reason... So YOU the user can add what you like and take away... Make it YOUR kitkat if you will... There's no fancy pics, no fancy graphics... It's just a rom...

What's in this (v0.6)....
Yes I know it's v0.6, It should actually be v1.4, is that even more confusing?... Yep
Based on CM, it has all CM parts. IE all issues CM has
MANY tweaks. Foe example (naming a few and not all):
Screen density 280
Wifi Scan Interval 325
Window Max Events 175
Lots of init.d Tweaks (some not all):
SD Card speed 7168
Zipalign on Boot
Battery Calibration
Ziplaign Data
This rom uses XTweaks found HERE (Plus my own and some of XTweaks adjusted for the N2)
NO SMS/MMS app (download what you want or use Hangouts or may I suggest 8sms?)
Moffice
Sprint Voicemail
Playstore
Google Launcher
SolCalendar
Has N5 Alarms, Notifications, Ringtones, and Bootanimation

NOTE: I don't have an agreement with Google therefore I don't need to use Gapps (the playstore is included)

How to flash:
First time installing to your Galaxy Note 2 (SPRn2) L900, or coming from another ROM:
- If you use a recovery OTHER than CWM based. I can't help you.
- Copy the rom ZIP to your SDCard
- Boot into Recovery
- DO A DATA WIPE / FACTORY RESET
- DO A CACHE WIPE
- Flash the rom zip from SDCard
- Reboot
- Don't restore system data using Titanium Backup!
- Restoring Apps + Data might cause problems and is not recommended, avoid it if possible!
- Once you boot allow it to call Sprint
- Hit 1
- Hit end
- Hit skip
- Hit skip
- set up your phone....

Thanks:
CyanogenMod for CM
Samsung for the N2
Google for android
LG FOR THE N5
DorianX for XTweaks

That's, as far as I know, a no for note 2 AOSP ROMs general.

Well I tried this out and figured I would share my thoughts. First the Op needs a bit of fixing.
1. kernel is stated as 3.4 when it is a 3.0.xx kernel.
2. Sms/mms is stated as not installed but you have hangouts installed

Everything looks good and seems to run OK. Although there is little difference between this and the cm11 source it is made from. Now don't take any of this as negative feedback. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to seeing how this evolves.

1. Yes I've corrected that typo. My apologies and thank you for bringing it to my attention.

2. I'm not sure what you are stating except what I have already stated. As I stated in op it doesn't have an Sms/MMS app but does include hangouts. Other SMS apps (downloadable from the playstore) will work if you need one and I suggested 8sms.

Thank you for your feedback and I didn't take anything negative from it at all. I actually appreciate you taking the time to post:good:
