Just bought a note 2

Hello Guys
I'm new in the forum and I just bought a galaxy note 2 n7100,I got it in china and has some kind of custom rom chinese I guess.
I also own a nexus 3 but I never changed the rom and is currently running android 4,2.
On my note I want to get an original rom or something that works well,what do you suggest me and what should I do?
Thanks

You need to carefully read how to root and flash a new rom, if that's what you want. My site has an up-to-date list of Samsung Galaxy Note 2 ROMs. You can also see a few community links to information here at XDA, to help you learn how to root your device.
Read the threads carefully. You should follow the information for your Note II, not a different Note II.
Do you live in China? What do you mean some kind of custom rom Chinese? Did someone sell it with a custom rom on it?
Welcome to the forums. I just got my Note II 6 days ago.
Loving it. (Although I was surprised to learn it doesn't have an FM Radio?)

1. Who would use that site to check for available roms instead of going to the android section?
2. The N7100 does have radio, the N7105 doesn't

It's already rooted, don't worry.
Go to Settings > About device, and tell us what your baseband version is. Once knowing that, someone can point you in the direction of a nice ROM, which is as easy as making a few clicks.

Why not just flash stock sammy rom just like your Nexus3? The stock is good as it is for me. I would suggest go stock, then slap a 64gb microsd for hd movies for your trips to China ü
Updated roms should be round the corner anyway given the leaks mentioned everywhere.
Cheers!

Right it is,I just checked on terminal.
so it says android 4.1.1 based version N7100XXALIE
should I provide something else?
Also would be possible to make a back up of my samsung galaxy nexus 3 and move everything on my note 2?
thanks

Well hell, just go over to the Development section and download a nice ROM suited for your baseband. The N7100 has plenty of support.
No worries. http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1794
You can backup your stuff from your Galaxy Nexus to your computer and move them over to your new phone. Unfortunately it doesn't have an SD card so you can't just move the card over and copy it.

[Question] Is there Root for SM-G530P?

Just went over to sprint the other day and got this version that ha 5.1.1 installed out of the box. Been searching around and have yet to find anything that even list this version/build but see many others listed.
Is there a root/Pre-root rom that will work on this variant?

I second this! I have been searching for any info on rooting this specific device without luck! I don't mind doing research on how to do it and finding out how my self, just can't find anything at all to do so thus far!

Root for SM-G530P
I third this someone please help...

Before you get into flashing anything on the device....please be sure to enable OEM Unlocking under developers option.
Also, there seems to be a twrp recovery, however, I have not tested it out myself yet...when I do so I will let you all know if it's success or not.
Another thing, I think it's highly possible that the phone will require a "permissive" kernel...not too sure yet. I will advise shortly...

Ok I got news. The phone has been semi-rooted, I was right...it requires a permissive kernel in order for the phone to boot up once more. The people that come in mind when it comes to permissive sprint kernels are Freeza & Djvoleur. They can probably cook something up if they have the source code for this phone already.... also, we need a working twrp or philz recovery.... the ones provided do not work... meaning that it would be redundant to have a permissive kernel...if we don't have a working custom recovery to flash it over with.... unless there's another way to flash the zip file or maybe just the boot.img? I will keep updating this if I find anything further...

Haha thanks bro. I understand, hope to see you around more often when you have time

Wow sounds like this is it! Can't wait to try it when I get back home. Thanks for the updates guys!
EDIT: It works great, thanks for looking out and thanks for the work put into this to bring us root to our devices.
Now if I could just find a ROM for this thing that would make it a bit less bloated and run a bit smoother that will make it all worth while.

Hey i have this to please message me the information i need a reliable root A.S.A.P

Nice walls phunkee, like the fractal ones, very retro! Only weird thing on my handset tho, is when i apply the theme using hdwalls, i have to switch off / switch on, to get the top and bottom curtains to change. If i simply do a soft reset, it puts standard grey top/bottom curtains up. Happens with all downloaded themes, ones ive made myself, everything. Odd!

Any plans for ROMs for the J5 2016 (SM-J510)?

Hello everyone,
I'm currently using a Galaxy J5 (2016) and I was wondering if anyone wants to do any modding for it. The only things I've seen so far is the "Light ROM" and the TWRP recovery, but I would love to use another custom ROM or a kernel.

Same, I would live to see a Cyanogenmod ROM for the J510. I've been trying to make a ROM, but it would help if others would do so.

It looks like the guys are working hard on a rom for your model on the developer page. You will just have to wait for more. Until then why don't you download the one available and help test it. The process will help develop more roms

@johnhux7 Can you send me the link to this?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5/development/rom-light-stock-rom-v1-t3467865
I think that this is the link your wanting

I meant a ROM for CM and that one has the final update

I don't think that there is one at yet mate. I think the only way your gonna get that is if you download the ROM that the guy has made. Help him test it, give him feedback and maybe that will help motivate him to go on and build CM12..1 CM 13 etc.
These guys do this work for nothing and it must take them 100's of hours and god knows how many boots of their phones.
Give them a hand and maybe you will get what you want in the future cos there ain't one at present..
John

It is safe since it was confirmed that it is working.
You have to replace init.qcom.post_boot.sh file with the one from that thread, like is mentioned here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70308367&postcount=5 . So, copy the actual init.qcom.post_boot.sh somewhere to have a backup before replacing it. Dont forget to set the permission after replacing it.
Someone made a flashable zip with it so you can flash it through TWRP: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70409603&postcount=14 .

I don't know why it's any custom kernels for it!
It's a really great device!
A lot of RAM, good battery, CPU and GPU which is good for OVERLOCKING(I see the wonderful custom kernels on different devices with this chip

Multi user

Hi, the battery life of my s7edge just sucks, it's the same of my old rooted note 3. I want to install a custom rom, but i use and i love knox, so I'm asking you guys if someone with some patch or zips, installed a multi user function. I'd like to install a note 7 porting. Did someone tried this ?
I just want to replace knox, if i found a legit alternative to a secondary ambient like it I'm going to install a rom instantly.
Thank u all
