Dang man.....I think I just had a blond moment.
I couldnt remember which device or forum I was in.
Havent tried it.....dont know why....maybe I will.
I think there was another rom from Liwais (sorry, no offense meant) that didnt run well on my phone. Oh well, nothing ventured right. Will have to work on it. Been thinking about bringing the old girl off the shelf. Maybe I will get the wife down too and have her bring me my Note.
Pretty much getting nowhere on the Mega.
What else is out or coming out that is a good device?

Backing up LS now and downloading now. I am still kind of new doing this stuff, but I will give it go.
My quick run down....... Boots quick. Runs very quick. Just a quick play through...
I am on Straight Talk, with the proper APN's I could not get data connection. In Status, it says disconnected.. That might be me not really knowing a whole lot or work arounds, but APN is correct. I could not get the "Nitro Settings" in Settings, Advanced, to show as usable toggles, they just stay dim. Except "SDCARD, that works. The browser FC's instantly. Home button doesn't do anything. SMS, MMS, work on wifi. I had to change from transparent status bar to black/gray to see the status bar.
I cant get the screen to lock, even trying Pin. This rom seems awesome and sliding from Left to Right from home screen has some cool features.
Just to reiterate, by no means am I complaining, just trying to help out. I dont have half the knowledge to build these things and I do appreciate all the work you guys do for hundreds of people you will never meet. Thank you again and have a great weekend. I am going back to LS for now, but would love to try this again soon.

I'll have to take a look at that rom. I'm with capt in temp. confusion. I was about to say our mega isn't bootloader unlocked. lol..... And I am blonde- I have an excuse!! Will dig out the old Note and see what I can do.
As far as getting data flowing, you need to take into account not just the apn, but the modem you are on and the android version you are on too.
It's been a while GT since I played with modems on this Note. Since I went back to Att, I switched back to one of the original Att modems. I am on one of the new kitkat roms I think.
It's based on ICS, 4.1.2 so the new lte modems that came out the last year or so may not work well. Att's original modem when this phone was released had lte working, at least for the pseudo lte. If you are running on ST with Att that might work better. If ST is on tmobile sim, you might have to install a modem made for t-mobile/adapted for the att Note.
You. .

you have forgotten more about modems than most people can learn
Not sure if this helps any, and I should of included it, since you mentioned modem. It was UCMD3 and I used TWRP 2.6.1.0. I chose that recovery because it is what I used on the other 4.1.2 Roms.
Again, sorry for all the negative feedback. I felt awful reporting it. I have spent the last day wondering I'd I was going to get blasted or not. Being kind of..... Not knowledgeable in this field... I was apprehensive to report anything. Hopefully its a stupid mistake I made. Thank you all for your time and patience you take putting these together for the masses.

So looks pretty much what the company uses to make sure the phone is working properly.
The Retail Diagnostics is used in Sprint's Slate test. It is used to test the primary functions of the phone and make sure PRL and profile are up to date. Fortunately it is pretty harmless at this time. There would be no point in it checking for root because Sprint M&P does not care whether you are rooted or not.
Sweet! Will check it out.
thanks a lot!

You call this an apk. Well I don't know what it is but its not an apk like I'm used too. I opened the zip looking for the apk to install it on my phone and never found it. I tried to install by flashing thru recovery and that never worked. I guess I'm a real noob but how do you install it?
Well, I have successfully booted up 4.2 on my Droid X2. I have been running it since Monday, and it's pretty stable. the only things that aren't working are:
Video Camera
Bluetooth
A few bugs from CM10.
I want to know if you guys want me to finish it up, and try to ready it up for a release this weekend, or if you want me to try to fix bluetooth, and the video camera.
EDIT: I'm going to attempt to fix bluetooth. If it causes too many problems, i'll release it without bluetooth and work on it in my free time. There is a couple stability issues I have patched up, and it seems to be working just fine so far.
EDIT2: I'm taking finals tomorrow then i'll have a good month of tinkering with this ROM. My goal is to get it pretty stable by then end of August (like 8/10 stable).

I have been working on this since about the time CM10 A2.99999 was released. The first time it didn't even boot, the next time, touch screen didn't work, and i've just been wiping out issues since then. It's pretty stable, has about the same battery life as CM10 A3 but I know of some apps that help it greatly. Right now I can get about a 12 hour battery life. This includes a phone call or 2, texting, some web browsing, and a little bit of gaming during my web design class.
I have it to a point where it can be a daily driver for some. I want it to be a little bit more stable. I'm free today so i'll spend most of my evening working on it. Tomorrow i'll have a little free time.

Nice.
I can't wait to flash this!
The problem is that I can't get data to work for the life of me.
I assume this can be done with a VPN backup/restore, however I have not tried it.
Maybe the problem is that I'm using CM files as a base instead of AOSP?
If anyone has any ideas, please let me know, as IRC hasn't been too helpful.
Thanks!
EDIT- I got it running by using the information in the i9505/international thread. The VPN restore idea is from the Sprint S4 MIUI thread.
Nice

So you're building MIUI...or porting from the 9505?
From what I understand, CM is typically used as a base, so that should be fine.
You're talking APN additions/restores right?

I'm porting it from the 9505, everything works except for the data/voice. I'll definitely post it if I can ever get data/voice working.
As far as the APN stuff, it doesn't matter now, because my phone is borked. Something went pretty wrong and I can only get 4G access. I've lost voice/3G/whatever. I am going to take my S4 to the VZW store and see what they can do for me.
Hopefully I didn't fry anything, although I suspect that if that were the case I wouldn't get 4G.

I would have gladly passed it on, but I deleted it already. I basically took CM and merged some files into an already working S4 MIUI build.
A working S4 (i9505) build can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2306650
You can get it to boot by merging the files mentioned in the thread, but I never got data calls to work, and I think it broke my phone. I'd be very careful.
We should start a bounty for a full working port and maintenance.

II'm quite interested but I jacked up something along the way because I completely wiped my entire phone, it won't go past the HTC screen. Been messing with it for 4 hours, I'd love to get this on my phone but I'm at a loss. I'm trying to flash the release keys you posting in RUU and radio images and all that but I think I screwed my phone.
If you can get into recovery then you can sideload the rom. Ive done this with included recovery 2.6.3.3,I never posted the radio,just a twrp backup,but you have to get a rom on the phone to copy the backup into the twrp,backups folder.
Copy the rom to where your adb and fastboot are located connect phone via twrp run this command
adb push nameofrom.zip /sdcard/. exactly as shown here change nameofrom.zip to the name of the rom your trying to flash...this will put a rom on your internal storage and it then can be flashed via twrp
The kid is back in the game!! I look forward to testing this out! Thanks for your help!

Is there any way you could make the Messages app with integrated VVM available to people running other roms? I bet there would be a lot of interest in that...
More than likely no, was about 95mb of changes to get everything working as it should be with no glitches or bugs...Ask the dev of the ROM your using to try to implement it...Best I can say for now...Sorry

Just the kind of ROM I was looking for. I take it that there's some serious integration with particular AT&T parts of the ROM to make VVM work. I attempted to change the sku id to the international variant (to get rid of the browser bar from settings, get the intl signal icons, and have the ability to toggle between LTE/HSPA+), but messages kept crashing.
Anyways, thanks for the hard work. Runs smooth, and works as advertised
Took me about a week to get it worked out,was just about to pull the rom and have thread closed due to lack of user interest...lol..Glad your enjoying it...

Most of the messaging apps are the same. With all the required files, you only need to change your CID to CWS__001 to get it to integrate into the messages.apk. Even on sprint, Developer, etc, if you change the CID, you will see a black box in the messaging app where the VVM usually resides. I had it working on Viper for a while, but an update messed it up & since I use G Voice, I really haven't had the need. I think it may heve been fixed in Viper though, since I seem to recall one of the recent updates mentioning it now working.

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

Never mind, I figured it out! Doh!
I also throw out there that gas dies eventually on this rom. If you check the thread, it has happened to a lot of people including my wife's.

Not sure what you mean by running out of gas???
He means....GPS, some had problems on this ROM.

Ok thanks.
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.
