[Q] Galaxy Note 2 issue - PLEASE HELP

First of all please accept my apologies if I am posting in the incorrect site location - this isn't the most user friendly site I've ever come across, but it is definately helpful to to get help from you friendly and helpful people!
I've just purchased a Galaxy Note 2 (N7105 Vodafone Australia). I've managed to unlock, root and install TWRP perfectly.
My problem is that I've tried three different custom roms (and made donations to say thanks) in the last few days and none of them seem to work properly with the s pen. The three roms I've tried are Cyanogen, Android Revolution and Omega (in that order). All three of these roms seem great, until I take out the s pen....
The only one of these three roms that will even recognise when the pen touches the screen is Cyanogen (which is the only of the three roms that don't come with the samsung s pen apps). Both Android Revolution and Omega came with the s pen apps pre-installed, but don't seem to work with the s pen at all?? Am I doing something wrong? Are there s pen drivers or something that I need to install? Omega is currently installed and it does vibrate and make a noise when I remove the pen from the dock, but does nothing when the pen touches the screen.
Another thing to note before anyone tries installing these roms on this device is that, after installing Android Revolution or Omega, the phone has no reception and says sim isn't installed. I managed to correct this on Android Revolution by installing the modem driver on top of the rom - this took me a day or two to figure out it was the issue and how to fix! But it doesn't seem to fix the problem with Omega rom, which is my favourite (apart from the problems listed).
I know its a pretty new phone and therefore there aren't many tried and tested roms, but the three I've tried are pretty common so I was expecting more information about them online than what I've found. Any assistance or advice in relation to getting the s pen to function and the phone to recognise the sim card on Omega v13 with my N7105 would be greatly appreciated. If I can't fix this pretty quickly I'm going back to stock rom until there's more info out there about roms that work with the N7105.
thanks

Ok thanks I'll try there. Thanks for the quick response.

so do i

ROM
Hey not sure if you found what you were looking for over in the Note II forum or not but it sounds to me like you are flashing the wrong ROM. I had similar issues with the SIM not being recognized on my Note II. I was trying the same ROMs you mentioned. Make sure the ROM you are flashing is for the exact model phone you have. Also, some ROMs will require you to flash the correct radio for your carrier.
Definitely head over to the Note II forum to find more specific information but keep those things in mind! Hope this helps!

Thanks. Somebody PM'd me with a link to a few Note 2 roms - but the forum won't let me post it because I'm too new of a member. If anyone needs it just PM me.
I'm trying Aroma, but am now havings issues with TWRP seeing the zip file... I'm still trying - currently copying the zip to the TWRP folder on the sd card because I've found some forums about TWRP reading zips from internal storage. I've also had issues with Clockworkmod on this Note 2, so would rather not have to go back to it. Clockworkmod worked well for me for years on my old trusty HTC Desire HD, but really made a mess of the Note 2... I've only had this phone 8 days and had sooo many issues with just trying to get a custom rom running!! Even if this works, its only Android 4.1.2 - Whereas I've got 4.2.1 running smooth as butter on a two year old HTC

hmmm

Cool deal. I hope you get it worked out. That is strange that Clockwordmod is giving you issues. That is what I use and it has treated me well. Maybe it has to do with the difference in hardware since I have the US AT&T version? Good luck!

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 SGH-I497 AT&T

If anyone knows of or is in production of a custom ROM please let me know. I have mine rooted with CWM, so if you need any stock files let me know and Ivan send them over! I would love to have something for this make. I see there are plenty of option for the pxxxx or gtxxx models. But nothing for the SGHxxx variants.

Looking for this too!!!!!!!

OK, I will jump in also.... But if you do find one, come to Google+ and point the way.
https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/100516894664157928866

I have one too and I can't believe there is no development for this thing. If there is no dev for it soon, the next new thing will bump it off the AT&T shelf and all we'll have is a rooted stock Tab 2 or the opportunity to buy something else.

Im sorry but there is seriously only one dev for any SGHXXX device. And he only supports the 7" one. Sorry guys. Besides, why not get a Nexus 7 or wait for the new Nexus 7.7?

Maybe because we wanted a 10.1 inch tablet NOT a 7".

How did you get yours rooted? I have tried a number of different ways and never could get it rooted. I have searched XDA for it as well but no luck.

[Q] question about CWM from experienced person

Hi I have a question concerning getting CWM installed on my RCA 7 inch tablet (RTC6272W23). It is a ROCKCHIP based device (RK3066). itis on 4.2.2. I ffound something on this website, but being new to all this stuff I was not sure if this applied to my tablet or not. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2102679. I was wondering if looks like it applied to mine or not? I only need to install CWM so I can make a complete backup of the stock ROM, I will not be using it for custom Roms. I am rooted. Thanks in advance.

Hello
Man not to be an ass or anything but everywhere I look on line all I see is how this website is so great, but I have ask questions on two different tablet on here, and no one even replies. Hey got a lot of people looking at the question. I rate this site at minus 5 stars so far

It think it can be applied to your tab... Problems are ignorable and won't cause any disturbance..
To be on safer side make sure u have backups and stock rom available

Galaxy S4 vs Nexus 4

Galaxy S4 vs Nexus 4​
Hello everybody, in here you're going to find a few details about both the Galaxy S4 and the Nexus 4. I have recently owned both of these android devices and also have successfully rooted, installed custom recovery mode's and custom ROMs for.
I will start, where I started. With the Samsung. I found the Galaxy s4 to be a great phone. It played all the games I wanted it to play well, and I couldn't complain really. However being a member of here indicates itself my love for Rooting and such things so I did what was natural to me and began rooting the device.
The first root method I tried was called droid razr root that was supposed to work on Galaxy s4's but the root didn't take when I followed the steps to rooting with it. So I used a different method, Odin and flashed the file and it worked perfect. Once rooted it was easy enough to install twrp from the play store and use the app to flash my recovery. Then I simply flashed a slimkat 4.4.4 ROM following instructions. The phone was, asyoud expect pretty cool. I've had a lot of slimROMs so the whole ui and feel wasn't that new to me but was definitely fast and responsive.
OK, so here is where the nexus comes in. I was browsing a local website for swapping things and I swapped my fresh rooted and rimmed S4 for a Nexus 4 and some cash. I was eager to try out the new device.
I did not waste any time in looking for a root method for the Nexus and found it was the easiest device I've come across to root/unlock the boot loader for. Its simply two apps off the play store, i found the forum on XDA. You literally press one button in one
App, reboot. Press a button in the other app, reboot. Install SuperSU reboot done. Then just like the S4 I used the TWRP app to flash TWRP onto my device. Everything went awesome and smooth as expected so I went to looking for a nice ROM. That's when I found Dirty Unicorns. Let's just say, this is the beat ROM I've ever had on any of my phones. Its really really smooth, packed with customization and really well optimized.
As for the question which phone is better? I'd say both. The S4 has an edge on speed, but the nexus 4 has almost everything else.

Hello,
Hello, there are 3 threads devoted to discussions about devices, please repost your question in one of these three threads: The what should I buy thread or the The Device Suggestion Thread or the The Device Comparison Thread. This last one would probably be the best fit for the information you have to share.
Thanks!
Hi Just!

No ROMs

Guys I really regret that I have rooted my S6 there is no roms at all, there is some deo touchwiz roms and am rocking one, but there is no Cyanogenmod or MIUI, what is the problem, does any buddy know anyone working on a port at least.

Maybe...no sources?

Better to switch device. On the s6 edge forum they are working on a cm port somewhat but it will probably never be as good as on a snapdragon device

No chance on Cyanonmod for atleast a year. And when it comes, it is far from stable.
Sell your device and get a another

Start developing! I'm happy with my S6. Wrong place for this as well

A simple Google search would have alerted you to the fact that anything AOSP based on the new Exynos is pretty much a fairly tale. Samsung hasn't released any sources, and they likely aren't going to. I got the S6 just for something new. I will however pass this on to my wife once the new Nexi are released.

So you came to this conclusion after you purchased and rooted your device? Great research on your part.

Why not pickup Development and do for yourself, since this is a Development Site, you might learn something...
But first learn the Forum Rules, as this does not belong in the Development Sections to begin with...
