[NOOB Guide] Installing custom roms - Galaxy Note II General

Hi guys, I'm one of the testers of Supreme bean v5 rom before it was approved to go online, and I observed the forum and a lot of people have a lot of questions about installing the rom and the Note 3 package.
So, I'm sharing with you what needs to be done in order to install the right way, get the max performance, batt life, how to avoid FCs and some known errors, ways to correct them and what to expect from the device + some mods you would like to have
This Guide can also be followed for Hurricane rom, Phoenix, Jellykat, Dr. Ketan's and all possible roms out there with of course, logical reasoning required
And make sure you read the entire post as it will save you a lotttt of google searches and time searching for answers.
Please also note that following these methods will void your warranty, so dont tell me later I never told you so
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 1
Case 1> You are coming from Android v4.1, not rooted, not modified
a) Then you would have to update the bootloader to mj5 which is available in this forum as well as install wifi patch.
b) Then you would also have to install a custom recovery such as Philz or twrp And this will be done through ODIN.
Case 2> your warranty is already void and have a custom recovery in place
Before install, super wipe. And I dont mean just clearing cache, preload and system folders. Use of Philz recovery recommended, update to the latest if possible. Use the "clean to install new rom" option under wipe data/factory reset. I havent seen an other recovery that does a better job than philz. I've made thousands of flashes, and not once my EFS was affected.
After using the option clean to install a new rom, head over to the mounts and storage area and use the option "format /sdcard", before using this option though, make sure you backup the folders pictures, DCIM and whatsapp if you plan on restoring the conversations that you've had. This is equally important if you play a lot of games. Games have a tendency to leave behind huge clusters of junk.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 2
Install the rom, and dont flash any mod or pack just yet, reboot. Allow the rom to complete all the necessary after install procedures. Complete setup and just make sure play store updates itself and camera is working all right.
To install mods or Note 3 pack or a custom kernel, reboot now to recovery
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 3
Installing Note 3 pack:
On roms such as Phoenix, Jellykat, Xperiazised rom, note 3 pack comes as preinstalled. So, the further steps can be skipped until step 4.
in case of Supremebean, as @geekynoob is working on his Note 3 pack, he suggests to use either Tamirda's or Hurricane's Note 3 pack.
Installing note 3 pack increases ram consumption and battery consumption, and puts in some bloat which might give errors so proceed only if there is an absolute need for note 3 pack, otherwise can be skipped.
Considering the fact that we install Note 3 pack, it is done in 2 ways,
1> right after flashing rom, flashing note 3 pack without reboot
2> complete rom setup and then flash note 3 pack with reboot
Although I recommend the second method, the first one is also quite possible if you just want to save some time. However, during setup, when asked to sign in to samsung account, skip that. As cloud services are natively missing in the rom, You will receive a "network error" toast notification during sign in. So, skip that. Rest is as normal. Follow the on screen instructions.
Now the rom has to be pretty much setup to your requirements
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 4- Mods
1> To change DPI
There are 3 ways of doing this
a) build.prop edit
b) installing a 240 dpi mod pack
c) using Texdroider dpi
Although all the 3 methods do the same job, i would not recommend the second method as it installs system files which can be much older than the rom base and can lead to some FCs or errors. Now if you find the first method too tedious, use the app called Texdroider dpi from play store to do that job. Its as easy as install, change values and reboot. Its the easiest way to change dpi on any rom,
2> Customization
To everyone who hates the stock look, or if looking for something different, use xposed module. I prefer wanam by choice as almost every option in it works. There are options available such as gravitybox, xblast and others which do the similar job. Here, you will be the best judge on what you want, and how you like the rom to be and function.
3> Custom kernels
There are options of Kernels available, but I personally prefer Agni. Tried almost all kernels possible out there on all the roms, and I mean literally. And Agni give me the best out the best possible batt performance and enhanced smoothness.
Use these settings in Agni as recommended by geekynoob
"Profile- normal
CPU governor- yanks zzmove
Max CPU freq- 1600mhz
CPU undervolting to -30mv
Gpu -50mv
Min 200mhz
Touch 2 wake off
Lmk medium
Power saving balancer set to max"
4> Disable motion, NFC, Air Gestures and all possible things that you dont use as it consumes CPU usage and battery as well.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thats is guys. These are all the suggestions that I can think of at the moment. If you need anything else, let me know, by replying to this post.
Have fun customizing the rom.
And as always, thank me if this post helped you. :silly:

Guide LG G3 No Lag for ever - by fosseperme

Excuse me for bad English
And after the success of the mod that I realized that solved the vast majority of defects audio Nexus 5, I came back more determined than ever to solve once and for all the lags problems that afflict LG G3. By following this simple guide (consisting of more parts with the help of various tools) will restore to life your G3 which eventually will be made the most of its hardware and power!
Requirements: terminal with root permissions
Rom: this procedure was tested on lollipop roms type AOSP (cyano 12 based), but it should easily run also on based rom LG , kitkat and lollipop.
Step 1
The first step towards the elimination of the lag is the installation of the app Seeder from playstore (which many of you already know). So you open the app, set it on, then crossed out the boxes "Suspend RNG service while screen off" and "Start automatically on boot" (the second option instead leave it unchecked) and then set the mode profile Aggressive.
Step 2
Disable (or at least delay as much as possible) the thermal control of LG, in order to avoid that the temperature increase leads to an automatic underclock and to a drop in performance of the CPU.
Flashing then zip through recovery from this file: LINK
In the case of the based LG rom is preferred instead to use this method here.
Step 3
Enable hardware rendering and disable the overlay hardware.
Go to the developer options in your rom (if don t appears the option, you must activate it before going into the phone info and more by clicking on the name of the build until it is given the confirmation message) and enable the option "Force GPU rendering".
Now just below is another important option that should be activated, "Disable HW overlay"; unfortunately happens that this option once activated is constantly disabled when you restart the phone, and then you will be forced to re-enable it manually. To avoid this will appeal to a startup script automatically. Download it at this link, and create a folder in your internal memory (which for convenience we will call scripts) and paste the downloaded file inside.
Now download the app from the market "init.d scripts support" of RYO Software. Open it and set it as follows; check the "Run scripts at boot time", set in the Execution Delay the option No Delay and then select the folder that you created in the internal memory and in which you have pasted the script (making sure to save the selected folder , so that coming back should view the route chosen precisely - just indicate only the folder, the script file inside do not see but do not worry!). Now reboot and you should see that at boot of the phone the script application will start automatically (when loading the script itself), and so in the options developer you will have the option "disable overlay" always active without the need for manual activation every time.
Step 4
At every change of rom or update of the same rom, make fstrim procedure (because this phone is plagued by bug trim). Download the app from the playstore called "emulator terminal" (by Jack Palevich), open it and type on
su
fstrim /date
fstrim /system
fstrim /cache
Alternatively you can use the app called lagfix from playstore.
Now enjoy your LG G3 lag free !!!
If there is no cost on battery life after apply this mod, its worthed to try.
Installed and working fine for now more fluid and lab free, anyway need more testing.
For Some reason Seeder 2.0 failed to turn ON although SuperSu granted permission.

Seeder works well on lollipop (i tested it on many roms such as cm12,resurrection remix and pa beta 5.0). Download latest version on xda and reflash latest supersu from recovery.
I have cloudy g3 2.0 and it really working
I will post in. Couple of days what my battery status
UPDATE: I noticed that disable the thermal control inevitably cause to a greater increase in temperature of the terminal and the consequent reduction in battery life, of course, for the benefit of better performance. If you do not want that, you can go directly to step 3 and skip this step.

Did that my self from the start and still working like charm, battery considering, looks like this have no impact on battery life for now.
I got random reboots after doing the thermal mod and developer settings change. Resored from the recovery...
remember guys the Step 2 CAN actually damage your hardware.
first time i did this after few minutes my device got so hot i could not keep my finger on the power button to bring up the power menu. so it can burn your device internally!
Step 4 dosent work on Cyanogenmod 12 nightly? If i use the app called lagfix its fails

Strange internal storage issues

When installing apps the storage manager is not registering the correct size to start off with. For instance a 1.5gb app is showing as total size of maybe 59mb. Under data for the apps it shows maybe 200kb.
Now the worse part is when uninstslling apps it does not race the data for the app. In order to remove the data and get my space back I have to boot into recovery and wipe cache.
Tried removing external SD card and trying it again and it's th deer same issue.
Also when attempting to move data to SD card it doesn't seem to really move anything but takes at least 30 seconds to do it and still requires the SD in the 0hone to run the app
Does anybody know what's up here and willing to tell me?
Thanks maybe.

Ok. Finally installed TWRP on the phone and made a backup.... I could just do it from there right?
Also considering trying either your rom or cm.. I had a couple more.precautionary questions if you could help..
1. When installing Rom I have found conflicting inforation on what needs to be wiped first ... most say just data, dalvik, and cache (so factory reset option in twrp) .... some say I need to wipe system as well. Witch is it?
2. Some roms seem to include supersu with them. If I have already installed it will that be any conflict ??
3. Installing stock rom require same process right?
4. Is there any version of cm that comes with kernel allowing over clock that is safexactly to flash from my current firmware ok3..?
I'm still not too sure about doing this but I can't figure another to solve the issues I am having with this phone, I got it used and it's off of warranty anyways.
Thanks...

1. Some ROMs, like mine, have the austen wipe built into the ROM.
2. No
3. That depends on if you are using Odin or recovery
4. I don't use CM, too unstable for me.

So that means at this point you wouldn't really need to wipe before installing wicked rom anymore?
Also decided against any over clocking now, changed to performance governors and things are working great now, especially games. No hitching, we're I was getting 10fps or less I cod strike team it's now 30.. so if I install a rom it will be wicked, especially the function on it "fix external SD write" fixes my storage management issues than that alone would be great and the debloat and performance tweaks would be a great bonus.
Thanks.

___________________________________​
Section 1: Root, Rooting, etc:
[Q] How do I root my Sprint Galaxy S7 Edge?
[A] We currently only have one method, and it is all located here
[Q] How do I get a custom recovery/kernel/ROM on my Sprint Galaxy S7 Edge?
[A] Currently, you don't. Our only root method works, but it does not unlock our bootloader. No unlocked bootloader = no custom ROMs, kernels, or recoveries. WHEN/IF THIS CHANGES, you will definitely know!
[Q] My rooted S7Edge gets really hot.
[Q] My rooted S7Edge is sluggish/slow.
[Q] My rooted S7Edge battery life sucks now.
[A] The answer to ALL of these question is because of our root method. The ENG kernel that we flash to gain root access is not built/optimized for daily use. There are a few things you can do to fix this.
1 - Adjust the kernel settings. Download Kernel Toolkit from the Play Store. Change the governor to interactive or ondemand(test both, one may work better for you than the other), change the min/max for small and large cores to the min value/max value respectively, and choose option from the side panel to apply on boot.
2 - @psouza4 has made an All-In-One Mod Package that fixes and changes a number of things. In the OP under Recommended Next Steps section. Make sure you don't choose the VZW zips. Also comes in debloater variety! You do not need to do #1 if you do this.
[Q] How do I get Hot Spot to work?
[A] That's going to take time to explain. I WILL compile a usable list of links to this answer based on root/nonroot methods for all baseband versions soon. But for now, look in the Sprint S7Edge's Q/A forum, S7Edge Guides and News forum, and S7Edge Themes/Apps/Mods Forum. there's multiple threads with useful info peppered throughout these areas.
[Q] Can I create and restore backups without a recovery?
[A] Yes. The best way is with FlashFire. Now keep in mind, your phone must be rooted and be able to boot normally to use this. So if you mess something up and brick/bootloop, this will not help you. When you create backups, as you're choosing what to backup, be smart. Do you really want to backup data or your sd card? Completely up to you. Just keep in mind size of the backup and storage space.

[Q] What is the difference between "CSC" and "CSC_HOME" files when flashing in Odin?
[A] These are essentially the same file. Both will flash the necessary CSC files to you phone to use. But... one major difference remains:
"CSC_HOME" will NOT wipe data. What does this mean to you? If you're using Odin to return to stock to recover from a bootloop or bricking, it may not fix your problem. While the other Odin flashed files WILL overwrite elements within their respective partitions (system, boot, etc), they will not remove anything they do not overwrite. So whatever is causing your problem, might remain. That "unlock" icon on boot-up will remain. User data will remain. There will be very few instances you will use "CSC_HOME".
"CSC", however, WILL wipe all data...from everything. This is because it contains the .pit file for your phone. The .pit file is a "Partition Info Table" file that tells Odin what partitions are required in your phone and their sizes. What this means is it wipes everything and re-establishes brand new disk partitions to the required sizes. Odin then goes forward with flashing the AP, CP, etc on this newly reformatted disk.

Hello guys this is my first time posting here on the OnePlus 3T forum and this guide is for those who want the latest builds (4.x.x) but not quit the battery drain that comes with them
1- A Rooted Oneplus 3/3T on Stock or Freedom Os with TWRP recovery
2- Franco Kernel R10
3- Governor Tuner / Download link for Version 3.9 / Link of the description of this Mod
4- Busybox
1- Flash Franco kernel & Busybox or use Apps From the Play Store Franco Updater + Busybox on Rails reboot and make sure your rom now supports init.d if not flash this
2- Boot a second time to recovery and Flash GovTuner_3.9.zip i recommand wiping ART/ cache
3- Now go to Terminal Emulator and type:
Command lignes
su
govtuner
4-Select number "1" and hit Enter to apply battery profil then wait 3 seconds
5- Now Select "p" and hit enter then "y" to apply the mod
NOTE : Make sure that it shows ini.d : Active and not init.d: deactivate if not you will have to use Universal ini.d otherwise the mod can't be applied on boot and you will have to reapply it manually.
Also you need to give it 3 battery circles before actually getting passed 7 hours of SOT on heavy use
Good luck Hit thanks

This is just stupid, why are people making these guides.
If you can't get 7 hours sot without any of this stuff, then youre doing something wrong, the 3T has perfectly capable battery.
I installed universal init.d but after selecting a profile, terminal emulator brings me back to the same screen. theres no options for "p" or "y" to activate. Just "1" to select.

I recommend flashing governor tuner 3.9 for power efficiency mod if u downloaded a previews release update it
Universal ini.d is for those who encounter bugs causing the profil to not be applied on boot so if u have in the last ligne
Init.d: active
Then you have full support and you don't need the app

Hey, just (re)installed after updating to 4.0.3 but it keeps saying init.d is not available.
Tried flashing the init.d enabler, but that says init.d is available already.
And, anyway, I can confirm init.d is working just fine.
Any clue?
EDIT: D'oh! Just realized I didn't reboot after flasking Kernel!
Thanks!​

You shouldn't change anything in such partitions unless you're a Linux wizard. Or a classic wizard, like Merlin. Why would you even do that if it can be done systemless? There are plenty of ways to change your bootanimation via Magisk. I'm personally using Chainfire's LiveBoot.

I am a new to all this. I just wanted to change the boot animation so i did a google search and it showed that replace the bootanimation.zip file from /system/media.
So when i tried doing that, i was getting a storage full error.
How can i do it systemless, can you help?

Well sure but it's pretty straightforward. Before beginning you should note that flashing always contains the risk of data loss (BACKUPS!!) and/or device malfunction, even though the risk is much smaller when you approach things in a systemless manner. But as you have already unlocked and rooted your device, you've pretty much overcome this. System manipulation is usually not as simple as 'just replacing a file' because there's also file permissions to be set, file size limits and plenty of other variables to take into account.
With systemless flashing, it's much easier and safer because the original files are untouched and the correct parameters are set for you. Your system is rerouted to the patched files in the booting process. Take away this process (eg. by flashing Magisk uninstaller) and things are back to normal. Well, most of the time.
A good place to start for custom boot animations (and other goodies) is here: OnePlus 6T Themes, Apps, and Mods
In that section it's safe to say the mods will be compatible with your device. You may also find a thing or two in OnePlus 6T Guides, News, & Discussion.
Some things – like the LiveBoot I've mentioned earlier – will work universally but it's best to do your research before you throw anything at your device. You will find these in the more general sections of XDA.
If you found something you like, just read the instructions in the OP (Original Post) and follow them step by step. Also, if you're smart, read the last few pages too, to make sure it's still a working mod or if deviating instructions should be followed. You don't need to make the mistakes others already made for you. It's mostly just dropping a module in Magisk or installing an app and give it root access. For this MacLaren mod, which replaces the boot animation, fingerprint animation, etc. it's the first method: flash module and reboot. However, last pages reveal that functionality on Android 10 is either erratic or non existent. So best only flash on Pie. I hope this helps you on your way.

Well sure but it's pretty straightforward. Before beginning you should note that flashing always contains the risk of data loss (BACKUPS!!) and/or device malfunction, even though the risk is much smaller when you approach things in a systemless manner. But as you have already unlocked and rooted your device, you've pretty much overcome this.
