CWM. Or you can just download the whole rom from sammobile.

if i have the whole rom, which file represent the kernel itself after unzip it ?

boot.img

ok thanks for your help, so i just need to flash it using odin under the PDA option?

You need to tar it to flash with odin.

No la.. I quoted the statement posted by someone, as he/she compared HTC one with Note II.

I was thinking if it could have been a design error at the beginning

After all, note 2 is a good smartphone. Just that i'm bit paranoid with wakelocks...i guess i had already resolved the major wakelocks and seem pretty justified. However, my sme set is not as power saving compared with my previous ap set...why ler?

ap battery better than sme??? Too bad, i sold my ap set, else i can do comparison and show you guys the difference...But for sure, when i was having the ap set, it did serve me very well...i remembered battery dropped only 3% throughout my whole sleeping hours...that was those days....sigh.

Ap or original doesn't affect power usage.

Ya, 1 account. Don't ask me how because I'm puzzled either, all this while 50GB then there was once I changed my ROM and I relogged in my Dropbox account after TiBu, straight got 100GB...

My sister has her own Dropbox account so nothing to do with this.

oic, yes, i do remember you mention before after changing rom you get another 50GB.

reformat still have wakelocks?

i did reformat it... no more wakelocks
although my batt can last longer but i did found the stupid audioout_2... <--- reformat still got such thing appear and all keyboard sound, system sound, lock sound, hap-tic feedback off ....talk back disabled, samsung tts disabled too.. still got such problem appear… but it doesn’t seems to drain battery so I ignore it lolx...

there is a possibility that different firmware used... example is that earlier 4.1.2 firmware for MY which everyone said drains battery...

to downgrade bootloader all i have to do is follow the thread

HERE

correct?

I bought the next launcher from google play and I noticed that the launcher drains battery like 8 percent.. anyone experienced this before.. Other than that I really love this launcher..

and so my N?ote2 is back from Samsung SC. Forked out 500RM to replace the mainboard. Sigh, very pantang to root it now. Maybe later.............

What happened?

i have some google apps set to auto update. so dun really know when the apps gets updated.

recently, kinda surprised to see the google play apps starting to display extra stuffs like books and movies... hmmm... we can purchase movies and books now...?!? nice...

update 1:
checked a friend's google play. he dun have the same thing. but he's using s3.

my note 2.... not rooted. din install any proxy... suddenly i can see:


i can also browse movies... like this case:


just that the currency seems to be in USD.

and long ago, i registered a N7 under my name and claimed the Transformers movie. When I clicked movie, o got prompted to install Google Play Movie/ TV. Installed & checked...


what the?!? i can even play the movie via 3G! tested and works... well, just the first 10 seconds anyway -- coz nearing my monthly quota.

wow...

Did not realize I became a flash addict and got caught one time where efs folder disappeared with no backup nandroid. So in the end the mainboard could not take the repeated flashing and decided to play dead. Somehow Samsung said it was rooted so cannot claim warranty. sigh.............

1 rule of flashing if EFS backup option is available is to back up your EFS .
