Samsung official Touchwiz Camera app that works with CM on our note 2 now :

what i have found in CM is the Camera isnt to my liking , but Thanks to awesome developer at XDA, Treeki and the great USCC developer na7q , here we have a working TW camera app for the CM ,

Please Note that the CAMCORDER dioesnt work in this , but its a great addition , now we can use the CM as our dependable ROM

Download this : store on memory

reboot in recovery

make a backup ( just in case )

Flash in recovery : enjoy the dependable TW camera on AOSP and CM now

Any stable ROM available for SCH-R950 with integrated Air Command? I tried Sky Roket 4.3, but it has lot of bugs, so reverted back to 4.2. In a way ID Cellular s**ks as it gets updates at the end after everyone else gets or it doesn't get it all

Mini review of the cyanogenmod on Note 2. I've been using for more than 10 days now...

What I like:

  1. Fast and smooth
  2. No bloat whatsoever. You need to install each and every app. So I installed only those I use.
  3. Excellent battery life of about 1.5 days with Wi-Fi on 24x7. My usage is limited and earlier on stock ROM I was getting about 18 hours only.
  4. Notification/status bar
  5. Dark messaging app

What I didn't like:

  1. Cannot bulk SMS. When more than 1 addresses are added, it treats as MMS
  2. Email app (not GMAIL) for exchange in not up to the expectations. Search is not proper.
  3. Miss the Snote big time
  4. Camera is fast but result is extremely poor.

slim gapps

dpi change script

http://www.mediafire.com/download/s05yf5c1a6n1k1i/SlimkatRC3.part2.rar

Download and flash in recovery

Wipe data, cache and dalvik only and then flash the rom and then gapps, don't flash the dpi change script as yet.

I tried Slim ROM but didn't like it. The main issue is that it shows only "first" number in dialpad for a contact. I could not find the way around and whatsapp was not able to get number if contact has multiple numbers. And it was too dark for me.

That's the new feature of kit kat, you can access the recently dialled numbers from the options down below mate.

And just restore what's app data from a previous backup.

Always use my back root to backup data and apps with their data

I have been using note 2 with 4.1.2 rooted stock rom from last 6 months. Since yesterday I m facing a frequent wifi disconnecting problem at my home which has never happened before.

At the same time, all other handsets & laptops have constant wifi connection. Pls advise if anyone has faced similar issues

Try removing/foget network option WiFi. After that reconnect to wifi and it will ask for password.

If this does not work, then you may have to do a reset.

I am using OmniRoM on my Note 2 for almost 3 weeks or so... Its clean, stable and without any useless apps. It is pure "nexus" type ROM. You can choose from minimal Google apps (about 82mb) to all Google apps (272mb).

There are two versions of ROM, multi windows and regular. Multi window is for viewing two apps simultaneously. I am using multi window version. Only problem I found was that at times, it is slow to wake up from standby.

US Cellular thread is here

The OmniROM Team, UtkarshGupta and tilaksidduram, get full credit for their hard work. Be sure you go to the link below for more info and click the thanks button.
