First of all don't use mobile Odin
More reliable is flash from recovery mode
Definitely can recognize exfat format
MO is getting buggy on 4.1.2 .Use it to flash rom n sometimes kernel flash it will freeze though it will successfully flash after restart. Noted these only on 4.1.2 only

You had never change since S2 days
Don't be obsessed with benchmarks
Get Nexus4 if you are so interested in such

Same method
Just flash one file . How can any other method be even shorter than this ?

Even 2 step is simple
No such file with twrp

Why are you so negative ?

Why you got so much problems ?
Just boot back to recovery mode n wipe cache n data to reboot it

Use mobile Odin to flash the 4.1.1 rom n select keep ever root in one of the options

In Oct last year I paid RM 139 for it. Purchased it from Samsung reseller AsiaMobile in Lowyat. I think should be cheaper now
Anyway can say is a "waste of money" as I rarely need to use it. I only bring it along if I do not drive and take a bus south to JB or north to KL. Previously on such trips I will bring my Yoobao 11200 battery pack. Even with this extra battery along, most of time seldom used too. The Note 2 battery is just insanely great

I have stop using JD, stop enabling power savings mode. Dont see much battery savings in it. Anyway the Note 2 default battery life is great and should meet most users needs unless one always gaming on it !!

Personally I dont see any obvious battery life differences between 4.1.1 and 4.1.2
So if you ask me, just go ahead and upgrade to 4.1.2
Do not let few users negative comments discourage you
I have tested Msian original rom LL7 and than tested too custom roms ( Monx, Wannam, Hawkish, Romow ) and now on latest DMA5 by Monx

Your level of understanding English is poor
That is not insulting
Do not jump just because you see word grave

Use app backup to Gmail to backup SMS to gmail

To edit from gallery, simply take a screenshot and edit it directly

Titanium backup ( paid version) will save all these stuffs you want

Mine unlocking is immediate ; never faced such issues as you mentioned
Sam,e situation in official and all custom roms I have tested

You mean kernel?
Just flash it through odin or in recovery mode depending on format your stock kernel is in : tar use odin n full zip with recovery
Use odin in PC n not mobile odin as latter sometimes have issues

Obviously you didn't follow the thread properly
This was mention few times earlier on

That is pure nonsense.
Apple logo was already in existence before Android ever came out !!

This is to show again the excellent battery usage for past 2 days while phone is overnight : with 3G always on, wifi off, Google sync always on, facebook notifications active, yahoo and gmail mail downloads active
The worst I have ever recorded is 3% over 9 hours



This is my present rom : Monx DMA5 with Perseus kernel 32 - all at its default settings and no tweaks ever made and no usage of any 3rd party battery savings app . Power savings mode is also turn off
So I never see any need to charge phone overnight. I always charge it to 100% before I go to sleep

I suggest you reflash your rom
I have been upgrading my roms since day one and on no occasion, there are any lags
