Hey everyone. I have attempted to build a working flex ROM for Verizon g2. Had a bootable ROM but had no working 4g data. Attempted to make ROM work with appropriate files to get data working but now it won't boot. Why. I don't know. I have asked for help from other builders for all the other variants with no response from them except for a very general point in the proverbial direction to no avail. @MicroMod777 of the awesome digital dream ROM in the Verizon forum has assisted me as well as @krazie1. @T.C.P and @Jeff Zaugg. So basically I am looking for someone to help resolve our issues. I would even be willing to come up with donations accordingly for time and knowledge to resolve these issues or even to just build a working ROM to share with the masses. Thank you all in advance for your time. ROM ON!!!!!

I don't even have my bootable base anymore. Forgot to make copy before I started modding it to get data working. Unfortunately I got work tomorrow. If I can get an uploaded bootable ROM then I can work on what isn't working. Sure wish there was a android kitchen for lg g2 to attempt doing this the way I would prefer. Plus this is effectively the first ROM in which I am doing this. Usually just editing and modding other Roms for myself. Hope I'm not biting of more than I can chew.

We started with a flex ROM and changed boot img libs/modules. Etc /permissions pertaining to Verizon also a build prop edited for it. Basically got a booting ROM with no data. Originally that was with tangjuns ROM. Then I tried starfighters and couldn't get it to boot. Now one of us is trying rayglobe. But we would defiantly love to have your help to get this off the ground. I asked in your thread about a Verizon version of aeon flux. Just trying to get some of these great Roms for our phones. You guys do great work and obviously help each other out. I am the new guy that chose this as my first project. Thanks for all you can do.

Some of you said you were having trouble getting the flex Rom to boot.
These are the steps i've taken:
In Android Development there is a thread by Tangjun269.
On page 13 of thread is a rom called Flex_Rayglob.zip 952.3 mb
I downloaded this rom it's got Gapps baked in and has the ugly black around the icons removed witch I think looks better.
I use root explorer to extract rom then I replaced these items from any one (your choice) of the stock rooted 12b builds in the Verizon section:
Extracting each one from 12b and dropping into extracted flex rom.
Boot.ing
META-INF
etc/apns-conf.xml
Lib/modules
Now zip rom, boot into recovery back up and flash.

No go tried contacts and phone.
if we can get these two jars to framework and actually boot, it might work.
/framework/com.verizon.settings.jar"/>
/framework/com.verizon.phone.jar"/>
everytime i flash them, or push them, the phone wont boot :/
I think we might have more luck if we disabled signature checks. That might be causing issues of being able to switch the apks over. I don't remember if you disable this In android policy.jar or services.jar

Very cool. I'll flash when I get home to test drive it.
I'm exited. I will probably try this out later tonight. Thanks!!!
Awesome, Thanks! Can someone post some screens when they have it installed? Also are the GApps specific to the ROM or can you use Goo for them as well?

You should check the CM10 thread such as the post below to find out about issuers before loading this ROM.
cjm2576 said:
Hi. I'm a new user of the CM10 Alpha 2 and am very thankful for the work put into it. I have encountered some issues I wanted to report. I did search the thread before posting this but it's entirely possible I missed something.
I use an app called AutomateIt to do some stuff on demand. One of those things is to enabled Bluetooth when I put the phone in the car dock. The trigger still works as the other actions I have scheduled (volume changes, etc...) still happen but BT never turns on. Oddly it IS able to turn BT off when I undock.
When I undock and turn BT off my audio appears to stop working. I no longer hear media audio nor the UI sounds when I tap. I haven't tested call audio yet to find out if that's broken. Rebooting the phone restores audio.
Apps that install themselves on the SD card disappear on reboot. I found a post where someone suggested moving these to internal, which I have done. I've had about a 50% success rate so far as some of the apps crash on launch after moving to internal.
Netflix closes immediately upon launch. Several apps close intermittently: Email, Gmail, & Flipboard are some examples.

He was asking Bout customization options I believe... check out the aokp site for details. The OP says almost all things work when it comes to customization except a couple.
Edit: here is a list of some features https://sites.google.com/site/androidopenkangproject/feature-lsit
Nice (fast) work. Unfortunately MMS is a deal breaker for me, but as soon as you've gotten that going I'm happy to test drive it.

If this is like CM10A2, GoSMS should suffice as a workaround.

Here's a new one to try
1. Backup original build.prop

3. Delete stock build.prop
4. Paste modified build.prop in place
5. Reboot
6. Dload wallet from playstore

It won't work. The MoDaCo tweak using Xposed is simpler and it results in GW crashing after five minutes on the first screen, signifying that there are necessary libs missing.

system write protection
I tried this on a rooted stock ROM, but it seems like there is write protection in the /system folder - after replacing the build.prop file followed by reboot it reverts back to the original stock build.prop file. Is there a kernel with wp disabled so we can at least modify the build.prop file?

Short answer: no.
Long answer: Not right now, but there is a chance it will. The problem is that there are missing libs--it has nothing to do with r/w or this build.prop (FYI, just use the MoDaCo patch). What it seems like, however, is that the Sprint HTC One includes the missing libs (probably because pretty much every phone at Sprint is Google Wallet capable). If some enterprising dev would be willing to find those libs and port them to our device, then we'll be set and Google Wallet would work.

I have been looking for a fix for international Roms So I can run them on my Note II from Verizon
Several Roms out there for the Note II but not a lot of them unless they are Verizon Versions on the Software Some of the VZW Apps Don't work properly This should Fix the GPS Issue you might ran into.
It does two things, moves the VZW lib files over for GPS and it also should fix the volume levels in some apps that are low...

Have you tried getting a gps lock on another ROM, done a nandroid, re flashed desired ROM? Usually this fixes it. Or if you toggle between LTE/CDMA and Global under the Wireless & Networks this too sometimes helps.

If it Doesn't I Flash Beans then use root uninstaller to back up the maps apk and stick it on your EXTSDCARD and go to recovery and wipe everything flash International Rom and the go to ES File Explorer and hit the menu button and go to tools/root explorer/Mount R/W and mount all RW NOT RO then go into the ES Explorer and go to Local and EXTSDCARD Then restore the Gmaps and it will ask to overwrite and say yes to all. Then reboot the Phone. When the Note II reboots then go to the Google Store and pick up GPS test its free and you can reset the AGPS and Update the AGPS Signals GO out side and get your Signal. If this doesn't work Try to Flash the Scotts GPS test Patch and should help. FYI I have had issues with the Global Mode popping up a lot and I went into the settings/more settings/Mobile Networks/Network Mode and change to LTE/CDMA and then if you get Updating Sim Card info a lot at the bottom of the Screen Set it back to Global and should fix but you will still get the Switch to Global mode Message More I am still stuck how to fix that issue.

Just if anyone wants to play with the international roms they can be found Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1790
Think this fix will work on the minitabinternational ROM? I believe its base is still the same am I wrong. Mini tab is the only ROM I've ever had that GPS doesn't lock.
This did not work on JediX14... Still no gps signal, I've tried all the workarounds
I can confirm this didn't work on Sungsonic rom. I wiped everything, flashed rom, kernel, modem, vzw patch, gps fix no service.
Edit: probably was due to the Rom being an n7100 rom

I was able to put together a little fix and posted it here. It works for me on Moon, might work on other ROM's as well but I haven't tested it.

This worked on Novella rom but the lock is really slow
Edit: the lock was slow only at first try but almost instant lock after that.

Hey I ported this over to the S4, I know the original dev and we decided we'd try to port this over. I have it working on my MJ7 S4 with Safestrap (I installed it fine on both stock slot and rom slot). Its aroma'd and I need to confirm it flashes for other safestrap S4 users before I port all the mods.
It should work fine without issues, its worth noting that initially there maybe some android.phone fc's but after a minute or two it will return to normal and also that this rom will work on both MK2 and MJ7 but if you're on MJ7 and don't flash the MJ7 modules afterwards you wont be able to use wifi or tethering. Any feedback would helpful, and you can do that via PM or posting here if you'd like.
Rom building isnt my forte but i do know what im doing. At this point this is basically a stock rom with the exception of having a 4in1 reboot menu and tethering built in its also themed. The apps and addons in the aroma options should work though. I havent added the toggles yet or added support for loki'd phones yet but will eventually.
Thanks

I wouldn't mind at all, but you might lol you see there's a disclaimer in the aroma installer, and as I was quite annoyed at some questions in the q&a on the day I made this I edited the disclaimer. At the beginning in all caps I wrote something to the extent of:
GOOGLE HOW TO INSTALL A BLANKING ROM AND DONT BE A BLANKING --TARD ABOUT IT EITHER AND IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS BLANKING GOOGLE THEM FIRST JESUS BLANKING CHRIST!
Then the agree box says something like:
( x ) I agree to google my problems first and not be an idiot about installing roms
Of course ill edit all of this out when I make a public stable build but I forgot to before pushing this test build out lol, so its up to you about the video
Edit: Just so everyones clear, "blanking" is a euphemism for my use of the F-word with an "ing" suffix
Surge... I like your sense of humor, there needs to be more of that on here if you ask me. I think you should leave the disclaimer.

Ok, I was able to break away and install this. I went through the installer and rebooted. I could only get to the language option screen. After that, it says that my system UI unexpectedly stopped and I had to pull the battery. It was only the first try. I'll check again in a little bit and see if I get through. I have Verizon MK2.

Mine did that for a minute or two once too. Id say install this to a rom slot and do a full wipe if you can. P.S. (getting anything to even boot to that screen on MK2 is progress in my book )
Also anyone on MJ7 im really curious if it works for you guys without a hitch. A few months ago I had reason to believe that mk2 changed something In the ramdisk, but I couldn't gather enough info at that time.

Thanks

Did you actually try that link?? It takes you to the same page with the virus warning I said earlier.
As soon as you hit that page, it's trying to get you to install a player which is NOT what it should do. It SHOULD let you download the ROM file.
Anyone else have a good link please?
Thanks

Ok, I got it. There's more than one download link on the page and I guess I didn't hit the correct one? Confusing as hell !!
Thanks for helping the blind!! I guess I better get a seeing eye dog that can use a computer!
I didn't mean to make you think I was upset, I'm just under a tremendous amount of pressure and stress right now with my business and getting my phone back on line is really adding to the stress. I paid for FEDEX overnight shipping to the repair facility and FEDEX overnight saturday delivery to return it and I have been sitting here all weekend trying to get it back up.The guy who fixed it installed an app (TWRP) I have never seen or used and never told me what it was or what to do with it and he didn't return my calls or emails over the weekend to let me know if it was safe to use it with a custom ROM. I had to search all weekend to find out exactly what it was and how to use it. I'm sure you know how expensive that type of shipping is and to have paid all that and still not have my pohone up on Monday morning was a waste of money.
Thanks so much for the help here. I will be more carefull looking at links from now on.

Rudy,
Thanks again. I am downloading the ROM now, although it's slow and will take 30+ minutes. I have a question. I see that some of these ROMS have the ability to accept OTA updates?
My phone specs are
Verizon Galaxy Note II
Android 4.1.1
I605VRALJB
BUILD # JRO03C.I605VRALJB
I don't want my phone to take any updates EVER!
Can I prevent that from happening?
Do you know what I need to do to accomplish that?
Does Scott's ROM's block OTA updates?
It seems he has discontinued support for the Note II and I 'm not really that good with this and I don't want to have my phone get updated and get locked out again. I just spent a lot of money to get it back to v4.1.1
Thanks for any help with this and thanks again for helping me with the download issue!

Hey Tom,
Any custom rom usually has OTA's from Verizon blocked, Scott's included. The download speed you are experiencing is normal.
When roms say they have OTA capability, it usually means that they have the ability to send their own updates via OTA.
Hope that helps. Also, this thread isn't in the right location--you'd be posting to Q&A or general for this type of question.
Anyway, let me know if you need anything else. Have a great day
I just wanted to thank everyone for their help! I now have Scott's Note II ROM on my phone and it's working great!
I do have one problem though. Somehow I managed to change the keyboard where I type text messages and now it doesn't show the keyboard, but has a writing board or whatever it's called and I can't figure out how to get the qwerty keyboard back? It's a screen where the keys would normally be but you can use your finger or a stylus I guess to write or draw. Can anyone advise me how I get it back to normal?
Thanks again to all!
Tom

I am noticing that the radio seems to be a little weaker. Is that my imagination?
I would go with something newer that is still supported Krowley's smooth rom would be a good place to start.

I also see that what I thought was a defect in the manufacturer's ROM is still occurring in Scott's ROM That's when you have a phone call and you hang up and then it starts playing audio files that you have on your phone. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a way to stop it?
Thanks

I don't remember that on cleanrom, but it's based on international firmware so there were common issues with a lot of people concerning GPS. Seriously, there's some great roms that are based on Verizon 4.3 and soon you'll see 4.4.2. Why waste your time with a 4.1.2 rom? Like I said smooth rom, Trents rom is excellent, as well as some more feature packed roms that are awesome but may be overwhelming for you at this point. See what's near the top of the list in Android development forum, pick one, and after backing it up try another.
