Of course you can flash any custom rom after that

Thanks Uncle Benny. biggrin.gif
I'm lazy to download Romow v2.5, can it work with Romow v1?
It is a DLL7 base. I supposed no? unsure.gif

You can flash ANY rom you want as long as is N7100 rom. The base is not important as it will be over written by your new rom. You can downgrade or upgrade anytime you want irrespective what rom you are on. There is also NO necessity to flash back any stock rom to flash any rom whether official or customs
The only thing you cannot change is usually the baseband which will remain for most custom roms. Some custom roms however will auto change the baseband too. But nothing to worry as so far all baseband is working well here

OMG, this truly enlightens me! rclxms.gif
I really had the impression where if I download DLL7 official ROM, I have to find a custom ROM that is for DLL7. I didn't know any ROM can be used. rclxms.gif

Is easy on Note 2. Only on the Note need to be careful as the kernel type is crucial especially if one wish to flash non TW based rom ( eg CM, AOKP type). Using a wrong kernel will lead to hard bricking. Such an issue does not exist in Note 2. You can happily flash to any CM10.1 roms on any kernels
*
Got it! Am I right to say, it is safe that I could just download any custom ROM, so long it is 4.1.2? I don't need to bother if it is DLL7 or DMA5?

Back to nature, back to stock. tongue.gif
But with Thai firmware. biggrin.gif
Flashed ant00's zip file for keyboard with symbols. biggrin.gif Now that is more important to me. laugh.gif

Finally, I'm free now. Finished restoring, arranging, beautifying my pages. biggrin.gif

Now, I'm pretty impressed with Thai firmware. Battery drop level is acceptable. That said I have downloaded Romow v2.5 but I just want to try out stock ROM + stock kernel and see how far it fares. thumbup.gif

All looks good for now and I'm pretty lazy to backup my stuffs for Romow, in the mean time gotta enjoy my new stock firmware. tongue.gif

Thanks ant00 again for the keyboard with symbols zip file, turns out to be super useful for me. Now I don't need custom ROM for that. Though I know can manually change my file using Root Explorer but it didn't work for me. sweat.gif

Thanks tot31 for the recommendation, indeed Thai firmware looks good. biggrin.gif

Gratz, show the benchmark of the new firmware for performance wise and battery after u tested. Looking forward to flash to thai firmware. u rooted with stock firmware already?

Always rooted because I only use Mobile Odin Pro and clear my recovery to have intact root. tongue.gif tongue.gif

QUOTE(tot31 @ Jan 26 2013, 02:08 AM)
you are most welcome, indeed the Thai DMA5 is a bit better than DLL7 (hahaha. I am not sure whether this is a placebo effect  sweat.gif ), it feels smoother. Frankly speaking the battery life on DMA5 is more or less the same or a bit better than the DLL7.

Why don't you try out Swiftkey 4 Public beta. It has symbols on the keys as well as gesture support.
*
Ya, even a bit better makes difference for me. tongue.gif
Oh is it? But I want number pad on top as well. tongue.gif
So, my current keyboard is just perfect for me. biggrin.gif

BBS is very easy to use. I'm using the version 1.12RC6 xda edition. Can you be more specific on the BBS ?

I have been a Firefox loyalist since Netscape and then changed to Mozilla, in fact on my desktop I am using Firefox as my default browser although I have Chrome installed. Firefox for android can sync all my bookmarks and tabs that are on my Firefox desktop.
*
I think Chrome also can sync all bookmarks though I didn't try before. smile.gif
I was a Firefox loyalist as well but until about end of last year, my pages hardly move on my laptop. Gave up and switched to Chrome, surprisingly it loads my pages pretty well. No choice but to continue using Chrome..

Anyway, back to your BBS, your phone was in deep sleep for 1D+? sweat.gif

Your phone should be in the deep sleep when your screen is off, saving all the battery juices.... biggrin.gif

Oh, I thought you really put your phone sleep for continuous 1D... sweat.gif
But that's a really impressive results.
You still switch off mobile data and WiFi? Only switch them on when needed?
I have a lot of WhatsApp messages, so no way to turn them off. tongue.gif After all, I want to enjoy my phone too. laugh.gif

icic.. but how come in sammobile website it doesn't show which Android version it is.. hmm.gif

Ya, just noticed that as well. tongue.gif
But it is a 4.1.2 as that's the latest version for Galaxy Note II. tongue.gif

I used to have that too when I tried Easy Battery Saver but I noticed my WiFi especially didn't turn on by its own when my screen was lit up... sad.gif

if it's the same then why is there a sudden interest in this stock ROM ?
*
I think tot31 did show some stuffs in previous thread that indicate there are some differences.
Anyway, I have just started to use it for few hours, so my opinion may not be that accurate. sweat.gif
So far, the battery level drop in this firmware looks kinda OK.

Of course, I will leave it to the spokesperson - tot31 to explain further. He is really good in all these. biggrin.gif

hmm.gif I'm having battery problem with 4.1.2. Maybe I should flash this official Thai ROM.

Worth a try. smile.gif
I was quite happy with DLL7 + Romow Extreme v1.0 but just itchy hands and wanna try other official ROM. tongue.gif
Downloaded Romow v2.5 as well but still lazy to shift my stuffs. Let's see how this stock fares later and will decide to go custom or not. tongue.gif

You should use Deep Sleep Battery Saver Pro then. It works well for me. You can set it at any interval during your screen off to wake up your wifi to swich on. I just set it off means that whenever I switch on my screen, my wifi will auto connect and all my Whatsapp messages will be coming in.

Cool. But can I set it that when my WiFi is switched off, my mobile data will be turned on?

p/s: ya ya.. I have not rooted the phone yet tongue.gif

Flash to official ROM will not root the phone. smile.gif
Yes, just use PC Odin, easy peasy. smile.gif

yes, the flash counter will not be flagged if you flash any stock rom with PC Odin. Just a tip from me, backup all your important data and do a full wipe ( I always do this just to avoid any problems, I like to have a fresh clean start ) but actually you can just flash it without any wiping of your phone.
*
Yes, me too always wipe clean everything. Either official or custom ROM. Wanna make sure I experience 0 issue.
Eh this Thai firmware will not clean wipe? I think I read somewhere just now that it will clean wipe. I hope I read the wrong thing. sweat.gif

downloading via hotfile is slow. Any torrent link for the DMA5 ROM?
btw, resetting the flash counter via Triangleaway app still doesn't work with the new bootloader?

smile.gif I have premium accounts for more than 100 file hosting sites. tongue.gif
Usually all these ROMs, they seldom have torrent links. smile.gif
I'm not familiar with TA, so can't help you but probably tot31 can. smile.gif

Yes it controls both Wifi and Data but for me it seems that my Data will not turn off so I'm using 3G Manager to control the off and on of my Data.
*
Good, I just need that when my screen is switched off, then data comes active. Once my screen is switched on, WiFi comes active and inactivate data if this logic works. laugh.gif
But at least, my mobile data must be switched on all the time when my screen is off. smile.gif
