5. Download MULTI-CSC : LINK REMOVED - it causes the loss of root permissions (use only for samsung keyboard "null null" issue)
6. Do a nandroid backup of your actual situation (People actually on ICS rom, MIDNOTE2.0 included, must flash abyss3.9 kernel (https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BzRB5vMumafCY2EyNGRhMTctODE2MC00MDU4LWE2MjgtYjRmM2RmMmEwM2Zh), reboot kernel and go back to Gingerbread, like said before, because (I repeat) STARTING BASE MUST BE GINGERBREAD WITH FULL ROOT
7. Open mobile Odin and select "open file", then select "step 2" tar file. Now select "kernel", then select "step 3" tar file, verify that ALL (enable everoot, inject superuser, inject mobile Odin) are checked, then check also "wipe data and cache". Now press "flash firmware" and answer "yes" on md5 verify.....(Odin PC causes increase of the counter, and I'm not directly experienced a flash with it, so please, don't complain on the forum if you don't want to use mobile Odin)
8. After the flash, you will be in CWM recovery, do a reboot, then wait some minutes to build the caches, ONLY FIRST TIME you will see statusbar only. Now long press power button, then select "reboot" and WAIT TILL YOU WILL BE AGAIN IN FULL WORKING SYSTEM
9. You're not yet on MIDNOTE2.1, now you have to download the real customization zip from here : https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BzRB5vMumafCTl9SUVBxQTFTaUtyUU8zQUZ4dmZFUQ VERY IMPORTANT STEP : VERIFY IF mobile Odin obtain correctly root permission
10. Reboot in CWM recovery, then flash gapps7.1 (step 4 zip file), reboot and configure your google account using chinese keyboard
11. Now verify MD5 of "step 9" zip file : b442d6e1f809ffad9ebf0475e2a93ed1. Only if correct, reboot again in CWM recovery and flash it
12. Now you are in MIDNOTE2.1 read below my recommendations :
- Use apex launcher (embedded in 2.1 rom), best ICS experience
- Use App Quarantine (in the app drawer), to easily freeze all the apps that you don't need (chinese or samsung), I preferred to leave the complete rom because there are many Chinese users that use MIDNOTE..
- Make a home shortcut to "quick settings", and use it to set "sound + vibrate", verify if it works correctly, then from now on you will not miss notifications..
- You will find "note everything", very nice app to makes all kind of notes
- Use "not call log" (in the app drawer) to fast switch to home after a call
- Use N7player for music (in the app drawer), best app and related widget (for my opinion)
- Use Sygic (free version in app drawer), best ICS compatible navigation program
- You can find also ICS Keyboard, try it, it's a very nice keyboard
- Freeze S-planner if you don't want to see doubled calendar events notifications
- You can use CWM recovery to flash zip files and do nandroid backups, BUT DON'T USE IT TO RESTORE ANY KIND OF BACKUPS (GB OR ICS), OR TO WIPE DATA, IT DOESN'T WORK and causes bootloop and lost of root permissions, so if you need to go back to GB, use redpill recovery from abyss3.9 kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22758543&postcount=6). If you need, you CAN restore (from redpill recovery of course) also ICS nandroid backup, but remember, after that, you will not be able to delete files from system directory
- and now.......THE CHANGELOG :
A. fixed random SOD of 2.0 (thanks to LB2 modem)
B. fixed random reboot, but the "tradeoff" is the return of "android apps optimization" every reboot
C. fixed all contacts app various problems
D. fixed lots of full root related problems, now you HAVE full full full root..
E. fixed Samsung keyboard, now it's fully working like GB one (only english language)
F. fixed stock video player with all kind of video formats
G. nice "Armani" fonts
H. fixed stock internet browser, no more "black on black" address bar (but you can find also ICSbrowser+ in app drawer)
I. native call recording using stock dialer
L. real ICS themed, with more readable icons and no "double arrows"
M. torch widget works fine with three steps
.
.
Z. still works in progress for "Google locations" and battery % in display settings, on my Note I have it perfectly working (see this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24143667&postcount=1154), but this morning a member of an Italian forum warned me that not worked for him, so I decided to publish the ROM with the settings "unmodified". I need more testing time for it... (Thanks to "lukemo" of Telefonino.net forum for the advise)
VERY IMPORTANT ADVISE : as usual, I don't want donations, but this morning I decided to devote MIDNOTE2.1 hard work to my parents ("B&G" are the initials of their names), both died of cancer, so.........if you want to give a donation, please follow this link : https://www.airc.it/aiutare-la-ricerca/donazione-online.asp

Thankyou maxicet for your excellent work!!!
Installed it a few hours ago and so far all is working.
Fastest and solide ROM for daily use for me.
Only the theme is a bit low contrast, many of input boxes are barelly visible.
Please, disable WiFi if want to use GPS.
CoPilot crashes if WiFi is enabled.
For me the fastest ROM for now, only light bugs and i hope our great dev will eliminate it soon.
Contacts need a bit more work, the displayed name is wrong on call, thats only bug.
Thakyou for the "Italian quality" ROM its really the best now.
Great please can you write what doesn't works?

Massimo,
Theme looks great. Hope you are finding the ICS leak more useful than I am. I got your PM, but I'm really still just using GB and waiting for a new CM9 build.
Regarding your PNG issues, I would inspect the original apk and make sure the image pixel sizes of the themed replacement matches.

Svox tts
Is the svox problem fixed? Anyone tried ?
@all
managed to figure out whats wrong with dialer and contacts.
If the phonenumber of person calling you, is saved with international prefix, e.g. 0041xxx or +41xxx, in your contacts, than you see only the phonenumber from the caller but there is NO ASSOCIATION with your contacts. And on display you should see "HunagdeHuongGong" as caller name and his phonenumber, WITHOUT international prefix.
For Switzerland is international prefix 0041xxx or +41xxx.
For inlandcalls i use the 044xxx for Zürich region.
So i have a phonenumber like this 00 41 44 xxx saved in my contacts, the callerID displayed is only 044xxx and the phone dont find any contact with matching number to display the name.
Dont know how its for another country, but this causes the crash from dialer and contacts in Switzerland and Europe, with prefix 00xxx or + als leader.
I changed the phonenumbers of my contacts to only reginal prefix and the callerID works flawless, the callername is proper displayed on screen.
Hope any dev can fix this issue.
I think thats wrong because the leak is from China and there are different callerID and prefix managments.

After a new wipe and installation there is no correction. Also with USB connection my phone wasnt found by windows.
@ziko
Did you try the other ICS leak for Europe market? Was there no problem with contacts? Could you try if the problem exists with the contacts apk from european release? If you don't have it I can upload it.

Bugs
1. The GT I9192 users will not be able to see, in which sim they had received the calls in the call logs menu. To solve this problem, use "Zero Dialer" app from the playstore, it'll show you the sim numbers of the calls received.
2. Apps which has the drop down menu option will force closes whenever you press it. (mostly the payment apps only. The solution to this is you can use browser (instead of the app) for that :laugh::laugh::laugh
3. For GT I9192 users, system ui fc occurs if you make calls with the Heads Up option enabled. So don't use that

Activate the developer option, go to that and in the last you will see an option called "advanced system settings".
In that, you will see an option with the name "Power off button setting". There you will have all the options for the power menu..

Also what you mean by, "Once you installed you can't uninstall the adds and viruses?" LOL....Its funny....
Because for the past 2 weeks i am using this rom and before that also i used this and i changed to CM 13 and some other MM ports for short time. No problems arised while changing....
Now due to some reasons, i revert back to this.... And moreover some of the users here personally contacted me to give the links of this rom. That's why i created this thread....
And one more thing i am not making any fun of you. But i want you to make clear about the "Viruses and Adds" thing??!!!!!
Was really looking forward to trying it out, what viruses :crying:
Init.d will force close
Hi
If u get Init.d will force close use this kernel Alexax66 0.1.2 for I9192
Hello there. my phone never had kitkat officially so i am using s6&N5 port(which is 4.4).
do i still have to download I9190XXUCOC1_SER.zip? or can i directly flash S5_STE_Rom_v.5.2.1.zip.
because i heard kitkat update bootloader and i do not want my bootloader to be updated as i may want to go for jelly bean.
btw i updated s6 port(kitkat) from NEW S6 n N5 Project thread from jellybean. and worked fine.
okay i flashed it over s6 port(4.4.4). but i got random restarts. then i went in twrp recovery and wiped everything and freshed install only flash S5_STE_Rom_v.5.2.1.zip file. still crashed. i guess i have to follow your instruction but as i said i cant install kitkat stock firmware as it may update the bootloader.

In the OP I had the ADB_Root_G930U_QE2Files.zip linked to the ADB_Root_G935U_QE2Files.zip zip so please make sure you have the ADB_Root_G930U_QE2Files.zip when downloading. Its fixed in the OP now so just double check
I recommend everyone put the Flashfire AP zip and Rom Zip on your internal storage as the AP file is so large that it may not be read properly do too limitations of some SD Cards. When you select AP file in Firmware there should be 4 partitions that are selected. If not then you have a bad download or need to have AP file on internal storage
Thanks for all your hard work . I just installed this so far so good but I am missing Wi-Fi calling. Is that normal or am I just not looking in the correct place? Thanks

Ok will try that when I get a chance. Thanks again.
Thx for an awesome rom.
Sorry if this question is asked before but couldn't find a solution (checked Verizon thread as well).
I am running Playstore version ROM and everything is working fine except Video Recording.
Photo is fine but when I record a video with included Camera NX, it only plays sound and the screen is either still or black.
I have been taking a needed break. I will update all my s7 roms including this one in the next few days
Nice
That rom can flash for g930p? tks your work!!
@jrkruse
Thanks for all your contributions to this device. I just bought this device and I've been diving through the forums trying to gather as much info on this locked down device.
Could you provide me with just the boot images that don't check the system image and from what model/rom are they from?
Oh and could you provide the partitions locations? The latest roms have an updated Knox that blocks SU from doing it's thing and I have to perform everything via adb (eng boot).
Blank screen
Hello,
I am on your custom rom and the phone was working fine for a day. After I restarted the phone I am not able to see the lockscreen. Its just blank. I do hear the sound of taking a screenshot when I press the buttons and I also can see the " shut down, restart, emg mode" buttons when I hold the power button but no lockscreen. I tried running the recovery boot img but nothing changed.
There is some kind of issue at the locksceen after a restart.
I'm Stuck

I followed the directions up to Step 7.
For the life of me I can not get the AP file to copy to my SD card. Yes I have enough space on it and I can get the ROM copied.
I tried copying the AP file with a file explorer, on my PC, external card reader. Every time I try, it gets to about 95-99% and says "copy failed".
I know it says flashfire only, but is that my only option?

In my case I created a folder named Download in Internal Storage and copied Zip and AP files there. I didn't have trouble coping files there.
From my experience & guess, you may still have old files & settings even though you flashed U-firm files Step 1-2.
Try to access recovery mode and do factory reset and see if this helps. Make sure you backup all important files to External SD because it will factory reset.
So I rooted my phone using Araltd's guide in this forum. I've got a couple of questions about this rom...
1. If I were to flash this rom to my device, would it remove my root access?
2. What's device performance like? After rooting, my device is very slow and buggy. Will this fix that?
3. Will my device still be full of T-Mobile's bloatware?
Thanks!

1. Yes, it will remove Root Access but you can still use ADB to do root stuff like push / pull files.
2. Since it will use stock boot instead of ENG boot, it will fix the lag issue.
3. This is U (universal) firmware so it won't have Tmobile bloat but it will have Samsung bloat/apps. During the install you can also choose de-bloat level too. From my experience BS-Free (2nd one), is both lightweight and stable. If you go with Playstore level (most lightweight, replace Samsung Apps with Google ones), you will have trouble with camera.

Do you know how this rom compares to the QF6 one which seems to be a bit more popular?

The QF6 ROM you mentioned is T-mobile firmware so it will have Tmobile apps. Most of them can be removed from ROM install or disabled after.
Other than that there's no performance difference.
If you want Tmobile like environment with Tmobile update schedule, go with T-mobile one. If you want less carrier apps, go with U-Firmware one.
I will no longer be updating my s7 threads until the time Oreo is released with root method. For now I have worked with @stang5litre to bring my non-root method to his amazing rom. He currently has a nougat release found here http://stang5litre-roms.proboards.com/
I keep getting samsung pay connection error. any fixes? i tried factory reset and reset settings, but the app still doesnt work. do i have to reflash the rom?

If you at any point tried to root it or flashed the modified boot image then you are no longer passing the safteynet checks, my suggestion is to do a clean install and see if it works then try it again making sure you don't root after you are done installing this rom.
