If you are flashing the whole ROM, choose a deodexed pre-rooted version. You can change the kernel later. Default is odexed. All custom ROMs are deodexed.

You can flash Assassin that allows you to change whatever you want.

If you are that concerned, root your phone and install Xposed Framework and Xprivacy mod.

Otherwise ensure you have checked the correct sync settings. If you check to sync your pics and you've taken a lot of pics, there will be large uploads.

IINM you can install some firewall apps to see exactly what's getting sent but I'm not familiar with those.

I just downloaded the official rom from sammobile, which I believe is odexed. So do I have to download again the pre-rooted rom on xda, from post 7?

You introduced me another new term here "assassin", what does this assassin do?

Actually reason why I download all these official roms is only because I wanna do a nandroid backup only. I'm already on stock rom, but I flashed the kernel before I backup only. But only if I can undo my kernel, then I don't even have to download the official rom, but it's okay, I saved it as another form of backup

A nandroid backup is a function of the Recovery, not the ROM. If you just want to perform a nandroid, then flash either CWM or TWRP RECOVERY.

Assassin is a custom ROM that allows you to customise almost every part of the installation process, ie choose kernel, choose frameworks, install bloatware or not, default launcher grids etc.

If you haven't already, please also read post 6.

Nice homescreen using Buzz Launcher. Seems like a news junkie

I understand that. I rooted and flashed CWM. But before I can do a nandroid, aren't i suppose to keep my phone just rooted, with recovery and everything else stock? Be it rom or kernel and etc?

I'll read more about the assassin. Really thank you for your effort in guiding me.

By the way, your home screen really look like a newspaper, so many columns. Haha.

Your first page really helps me in reviving back my note 2 to a stable state as i was having an SDS prior to this. Thanks a million!!!

Usually a nandroid is to backup a phone at a point in time. If you just want to ensure your phone is fresh like factory state, then just keep a stock ROM handy and flash it in anytime you want. Your phone will be just like brand new.

You should perform a nandroid of your phone as it is, and keep that safe for when you perform new ROM flashing. Make a nandroid before every flash. And please backup your EFS partition as well.

No that is not my homescreen. Just sharing some stuff I found.


Glad to hear that. Which section in particular helped you revive your Note 2? Will be good to know.

Thanks.

At first the section explaining how to check the spoil chip using emmc bug checker. Then how to root back using the latest pre rooted stock ROM as I was using an old stock ROM (May 2013) before this.

Hi guys, im going to full wipe my phone to see if I can get rid of the random reboot problem with my pa rom. I want to keep my apps so I have tibu. What things I shouldnt backup and restore with tibu? If not mistaken, tibu oso backup system ui or stuff like that. Help?

You can backup all when using Titanium.
But when do restore. ..only use restore app and data only.

wow... full of french... TS u learn french?

After having done a CWM backup, Just thinking out loud, if I can locate the backup file/image on my phone/sd card and copy them over to my pc for a duplication copy? and should anything bad happen, I can flash them from my pc?

Its up to u. But mostly will recommend u save a copy of your backup to ur pc. Some do it using cloud storage.

Ive given up playing it using softkey..downldd the pc version already..been playing it since..muehhe..already manage to hit 5mill mark..

Don't change Kernel.

That is not French. Looks like Spanish.

Accelerometer is way easier if you want to continue playing on the phone. Finished it and the ending uhm.....

I tried to search other forums or google, think there are other users having the same problem...

like what you said waveweaver, we can monitor how much data is being transferred but not sure which app is transferring those data. Hmmm... after I turn off the wifi, and use my 3G, it won't download. So I guess something is being configured to actively run download/upload when it is on wifi connection...

strange...for the time being, I am switching off my wifi and will only turn it on when needed...

Play Store auto update apps on wifi unless u turn off that option.
