Hello N7105 owners,
DISCLAIMER:
By reading this post, downloading any of the links, or acting on it in anyway you accept full responsibility for the outcome. I strongly suggest you do not download this ROM but that's just my opinion.
What this is:
This is EE's (UK operator)(formally Orange & T-Mobile) stock ROM for the GT-N7105 or Galaxy Note 2 LTE International - N7105XXXALIJ
Stock Kernel
Rooted
Busybox
Fully deodexed
Zip aligned
Some bloatware removed. (Light version)
What you would need:
Custom recovery (CWM) <-- See other threads for the how-to I might post a link later.
What you would do:
Download .zip
While waiting... it's big (sorry) ... do a nandroid <-- Google it.
Put .zip onto external SD Card (internal would be fine too but I think if you full wiped it'd get deleted and your panties would twist)
Flash .zip
Wait... remember it's big (sorry)
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Reboot
Enjoy
What else you would want to do:
Flash a different Kernel - there's only one floating around for now.
Use a storage data swap - two options
Use performance scripts, see around there are lots and they'll work best with a different kernel with init.d support - there is a thread with an how-to for getting support with any kernel/ROM and I tried it but failed. I didn't try hard.
Wipe Data - this shouldn't be necessary as your phone will already be on a stock ROM.
What I would like you to do:
Make themes and I'll link them in post 2
Tell me what default apps you want back or what taken away.
Post links to other stock ROMs you'd like made more convenient (that's all this is btw because it's no different than rooting etc yourself after the fact).
Talk about N7105 development - we all want proper Dev support and built from source roms.
What I don't want you to do:
Expect anything from me.
Flash this thinking it's something special, or that I'm a dev, or think that this is counts as actual development.

Tbh until there's been some discussion about what should be in and what should be out the light version is not recommended. There's literally too many apps and too many Samsung goodies to know whats right to remove.
The once we agree on the best minimum apps for a base, I'll just use that for updates and the other apps can come in a range flashable packages.
For now the recommended way to debloat is just use titanium backup.

Those few who have downloaded the Light version, how is it? Did it boot? I remove anything that needs putting back in? Is there anything still there you would consider bloat?
Is the bloated version deodexed, zip aligned etc?
Yes. The only difference is a number of system apps are removed in the light version.

Great, trying it now. I want to see if the Multiwindow mod (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1953705) will work with this. If so it would be great to start having it cooked into later roms. Will feedback later.
Will cirtainly try it but my phone is acting up. It refuces to use 4g, it goes like a jojo between e/g/3g/h and thats when its connected. Most of the dsy its out of service so need to return it.

Support 7105 rom
Should have ALJ4 uploaded tomorrow.
Edit:
Dang the re branding broke s note. Can't fix until tomorrow. Probably just need to push a different s note app (has someone optimised that awful app yet?)
It's uploading anyway if it doesn't fail I'll post link but flashing it without at least removing the s note app will result in infinite FCs. It's otherwise untested.

Yes all these things are possible. A lot will depend on what ROM you are running and what you have already done to your device. If you google search for light gapps or minimal gapps you will find what you are looking for, just make sure to take a version of gapps that is compatible with your RAY and whatever ROM you are running on it. There is a pretty big list of what can and should not be deleted from your device here: http://forums.androidcentral.com/op...e-apks-their-purpose-safe-not-remove-big.html
Don't just remove anything that you "think" you don't need. Only remove stuff that you are reasonably sure is safe to remove and make sure that you have a rescue strategy ready (a nandroid back up of your device for example) in case it all goes wrong.

These types of general help threads are becoming more popular around xda and as sandy7 said, it is largely a way to keep people from opening up new threads (most of which are repeated questions). These unnecessary threads can clog up a forum and cause more important threads to sink and be hard to find. These general help threads are usually describes as new user friendly and that anything can be asked with out the asker getting flamed. That includes the dreaded "which is the best rom" question, which should be answered as politely as possible (hard I know!). If you guys care, I know of some of these other threads and I can post or PM you links, so you can see how others have done it.
I am on stock sony rom+mesa 3.8 hybrid, I created a back via TWRP, so now I want to install cm10 on my phone.
questions:
1) after installing cm10, if i restore the backup, will it backup only my data and settings? will it revert back to stock rom/the rom for which the backup was created?
2)how to switch between 2 roms(maintaining same data on both)?
3) does mesa 3.8 support init.d script?
4) how to check if init.d script is working on my device?
5) is i install any other rom, will the init.d script remain?
2. Confirm first - I know it works if it's the update of the same rom flash a new rom without wiping data, just wipe cache and dalvik, it will either work or bootloop
3, 4. If u are a noob, download pimpmyrom from store, itchecks for you and if it's not there it can make it supported, if dev there wud be a much better way

1. Nope if you restore ics backup on jb kernel you will be stuck in bootloop. Also I won't recommend you to use ics data on cm10.
2. If you are using ics rom then you can use nearly any ics rom over it without wiping data but doing all the other given wipes. Same goes for other android versions.
3. Just check in the mesa kernel thread no need to ask here.
4. If it's in the kernel then it will work. Anyways you cud do as mnishamk told u...
5. Most probably it may. Many of the ROMs here have int.d support.

Installing Stock Apps In Custom Rom
I just want to ask if I could install some stock apps to a custom rom. I have installed "xNXT™ 7" on my WT19i yesterday. The rom is nice but I want to use stock ICS (WT19i) conversations app with it. I pushed it to system/app using ROOT EXPLORER with correct permissions but after rebooting my messaging app was gone.
I tried posting my problem on rom's thread but I'm new here @ XDA and not allowed to post under development forum until post count reaches 10.
Is there any way ?

These files are RESTOREABLE in safestrap recovery. These are Stock Rooted Mj5 RESTORE as backup DO NOT FLASH...about 25 people have asked me for these, and successfully restored their system after either deleting their stock slot rom accidently or had some issue with their stock rom.
Instructions:
1. Download all files in folder, should be 5 files total
2. Put all 5 files in one folder
3. Place folder with the files in your safestrap backups folder
4. Boot into SafeStrap Recovery
5. RESTORE the file just like you would any other backup
6. Reboot
Link:
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B3T9bHro9RUvWWtNZmQ1OHhsN0U&usp=sharing
After a weird issue with the files, the owner name is switched...which doesnt matter...what does is if they still work. Please let me know if there is something wrong with the files, or likewise, please verify whoever downloads them if they work alright still. If there's any issue i'll have to try and figure something out, or reupload the entire restore build which takes several hours. Thanks Mega
***After done successfully you will reboot to the setup screen like day one when you first purchased the note.
****I recommend to do this first in a rom slot, to be sure your download was successful. Just my 2 cents and what I have recommended to everyone i've sent the files to. If you have any isses, or questions either pm me or leave a post and i'll get back to you.
**Please do not use my files for anything other than your personal use without asking permission
***Please do not repost my links without asking permission

No dude read the op.... you put them all in 1 folder then RESTORE.... read the op dude they're a custom backup of stock rooted mj5..... I specifically said DI NOT FLASH
The link is back live after a weird google drive glitch...anyway remember these are RESTORE files for safestrap
Stock Rooted Mj5 ...see the op for instructions on how to restore your Note 3 att N900a back to stock rooted...or just use them in a rom slot for testing mods, tweaks or other alterations before messing with a rom you have fully set up...I suggest using a rom slot to test the restore anyway if you plan on restoring to stock rom slot.
***Edit: as updated in the op...the files owner status has changed, which makes no difference but if they still work perfectly as they did prior to this does matter. Please let me know when you download the files whether I need to reupload the original restore build or if everythings in working order. Much appreciated.

Exactly..it's a stock rooted mj5 restore kit. You can use it In stock...but I'd highly recommend you try in a rom slot first to verify your download and everything's working. Then wipe and restore like any other backup. It shouldn't have issues as like 60 people have used it to restore their stock slot but I always play it safe myself.

So does this mean that all international ROMs should work with our device? Pretty sure the hardware is identical (although I might be wrong - correct me if I am) so I see no reason why they wouldn't. Would love some insight from someone with more knowledge, however.

Yes I am currently running the Omega v1.3 rom
I am running it and it works Absolutely perfectly! If anyone is also having a problem with Shealth working after installing Xposed it seems to fix it. Just a few warning thought that I thought I would post.
1) After flashing it will flash all your internal storage - Backup everything first, Also I would move the zip to an external Sdcard before flashing.
2) Even if you select no wipe in aroma while upgrading, it still seems to wipe everything including your internal storage.

Yeah, I was thinking about trying to get permissions of a few international roms to try and alter the upater script and edit a few things to make them more compatible with the us roms.
There are several INT'L ROMs that work great with TMO USA S5.

Wifi calling is a tmobile specific addition, so won't be included in international roms.
Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk
I have flashed EVERY ROM that has been posted on the International S5 threads and they all work with the TMOBILE S5
Alliance Rom is phenomenal - Omega is great - so is Echo - The only thing yoiu have to get used to is that you lose WiFi calling. I am using a TMOBILE S5 on the ATT network so it doesn't matter to me anyway - ATT doesn't support WiFi calling - but to be honest, the benefits of flahsing these roms far outweighs the benefits of Wifi Calling. (IMHO anyway)
NO special steps are needed - EXCEPT - when you flash an International ROM be prepared - they do usually wipe the Internal SD card. So make a back up of the important files (like Titanium Backup for example)
while we wait for TMO development to get underway - at least you have a few very good roms you can play with.
Good luck and happy flashing!
Hey guys, just posted the first (very basic) version of my project infinity Rom in the development forum. It is based on the t mobile framework, not international, so has WiFi calling etc. I plan to update it quite a bit. Also, it doesn't wipe the SD card upon install.

Sweeet! I ran a few Int'l Roms on my Note 3 also. I edited the updater script so that it wouldn't format the internal storage.

Any plans to get flash working?
I am downloading the ROM, so far it looks good and I did not want to lose the wi-fi calling options so I've held off on the other ROMs so far.

I know many of you are waiting for T-Mobile S5 custom ROMs.
Well, just like the Galaxy S4, you can also install international S5 custom ROMs on the T-Mobile/Canadian Galaxy S5 as they share the same hardware. This means you have a ton more custom ROMs you can install, also get Wifi Tether working out of the box on international ROMs. (Wifi Calling will be gone of course as international ROMs don't have that feature)
I just installed Alliance ROM for SM-G900F on my T-Mo S5, works flawless 100%, here's a video demo of it running:
I know this isn't a common knowledge for many noobs out there so I thought I would share and opens you up to a whole new world of custom ROMing.
The only feature I will be missing is wifi calling and HD call. I don't care about HD voice, but wifi calling is a must because I travel over sea a lot and wifi calling keep me not roaming and charges. I wish we can enable wifi calling on international rom.

Yeah, I won't be using any ROMs that don't have wifi calling. At least not in the near future.
It's good to know... Thanks

Disclaimer, flashing an international rom on the tmo variant, will wipe your internal SD even if you choose not to.

I saw someone edit the updater script so it wont wipe internal sd but its diff updater scripts on some roms

Yes international Roms work ... Omega has a rom out that is starting to have tweeks and I posted a thread about it 2 days after the s5 came out but a moderator moved it from this thread and over to the general thread cause it was not a tmobile rom.

Thanks for the heads up Zedomax! Finally getting my replacement S5 tomorrow so it's time to flash! Could care less about wifi-calling and the HD stuff...

I dont know ive flash a couple of international roms. And my internal sd data was not wipe. oh wait I did format internal sd by TWRP 2700. That may or may not have something to do with it.
Welcome to the party!

That is true for MOST International ROMS - but it doens't happen on XNOTE - and I learned there is a way to modify the updater-script so that it won't delete.
Just extract the Updater-script - open it in notepad - remove this phrase: mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p25", "/preload");
delete_recursive("/preload")) and then save it as a script again. put it back into the Meta-Inf folder, replacing the original and you are good to go.
I have modified the Omega Rom and few others and successfully flashed without wiping SD Card.
Having said all of that - one of the reasons I was flashing Interenational roms was because there weren't any TMOBILE ROMS - now we have this ROM and it is quite good - but if you have the flashing urge - you can try those steps and it should work for you .....
Good luck...hope this is useful....

I am going on what I was told by someone else - who obvioulsly knows more about this than me. I am not a developer so I am a bit unsure exactly - I can follow instructions when doing things like this - but I don't know what exactly I am doing - your comment sounds right though - but it is better answered by someone who knows more about this than me -
and by the way - XNOTE does not wipe SD Card - and the guy who did ECHOES said that on future updates he would modify the script so that it didn't wipe our SD cards either.
i had alliance for a couple and it works fine but some of the new roms give you option for kernels...
can we also install different kernels?
thanks
I installed the Shohat Rom v3. Very debloated and fast and smooth. No bell and whistles but you can install wanam and get mods.
