Wish the ROM's with a stock kernel were a bit smaller, it's a pain in the ass to download a 1GB file to flash, my other devices were usually only like 165MB!!!
Little premature dont you think. Its not even released yet.

Just give it a while pretty much if it doesn't boot you battery pull and go back into recovery by pressing the menu button on the recovery splash screen.

That seems to be a common thing with the roms being flashed. Oh well at least the biggest hurdle has been broken. Up to the devs now to work their magic.

yes, after you flash ROM to to selected Rom slot, then select the kernel patch zip and flash that after ROM is installed.
---------- Post added at 07:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:25 AM ----------
I flashed the elclipse rom with no issue and did the kernel patch right after but I can't verify wifi as I am work. My wifi analyzer program sees our WAPs so thats a good thing.
I also did the GPE Rom and kernel patch and wifi does work. My only hiccup was I lost of radio/mobile data on the stock rom as well as GPE rom and took me a bit to see the network selection was not on CDMA/LTE/EVDO. Once I selected that, everything worked
Just waiting on the weekend and SD-compatible rom slots before doing any development, here's what I've tested so far.
Note: All roms installed first, then ME7 modules applied. If configurable, all options sent to minimal/stock settings.
Currently tested roms:
GPE 6.0
Hyperdrive (Latest, works with certain options only/not heavily tested)
Jellybeans Build 6 (Didn't Work for me)
Bone Stock (Didn't Work for me)
AOSP Source Built (Didn't Work for me)
CyanogenMod Nightly (Didn't Work for me)
Issues with GPE:
Cell radio loses data after a period of time (cause unknown)
Advanced battery stats crashes (cause unknown)

Hello N7105 owners,
DISCLAIMER:
By reading this post, downloading any of the links, or acting on it in anyway you accept full responsibility for the outcome. I strongly suggest you do not download this ROM but that's just my opinion.
What this is:
This is EE's (UK operator)(formally Orange & T-Mobile) stock ROM for the GT-N7105 or Galaxy Note 2 LTE International - N7105XXXALIJ
Stock Kernel
Rooted
Busybox
Fully deodexed
Zip aligned
Some bloatware removed. (Light version)
What you would need:
Custom recovery (CWM) <-- See other threads for the how-to I might post a link later.
What you would do:
Download .zip
While waiting... it's big (sorry) ... do a nandroid <-- Google it.
Put .zip onto external SD Card (internal would be fine too but I think if you full wiped it'd get deleted and your panties would twist)
Flash .zip
Wait... remember it's big (sorry)
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Reboot
Enjoy
What else you would want to do:
Flash a different Kernel - there's only one floating around for now.
Use a storage data swap - two options
Use performance scripts, see around there are lots and they'll work best with a different kernel with init.d support - there is a thread with an how-to for getting support with any kernel/ROM and I tried it but failed. I didn't try hard.
Wipe Data - this shouldn't be necessary as your phone will already be on a stock ROM.
What I would like you to do:
Make themes and I'll link them in post 2
Tell me what default apps you want back or what taken away.
Post links to other stock ROMs you'd like made more convenient (that's all this is btw because it's no different than rooting etc yourself after the fact).
Talk about N7105 development - we all want proper Dev support and built from source roms.
What I don't want you to do:
Expect anything from me.
Flash this thinking it's something special, or that I'm a dev, or think that this is counts as actual development.

Tbh until there's been some discussion about what should be in and what should be out the light version is not recommended. There's literally too many apps and too many Samsung goodies to know whats right to remove.
The once we agree on the best minimum apps for a base, I'll just use that for updates and the other apps can come in a range flashable packages.
For now the recommended way to debloat is just use titanium backup.
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda app-developers app
Those few who have downloaded the Light version, how is it? Did it boot? I remove anything that needs putting back in? Is there anything still there you would consider bloat?
Is the bloated version deodexed, zip aligned etc?
Yes. The only difference is a number of system apps are removed in the light version.

Great, trying it now. I want to see if the Multiwindow mod (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1953705) will work with this. If so it would be great to start having it cooked into later roms. Will feedback later.

Should have ALJ4 uploaded tomorrow.
Edit:
Dang the re branding broke s note. Can't fix until tomorrow. Probably just need to push a different s note app (has someone optimised that awful app yet?)
It's uploading anyway if it doesn't fail I'll post link but flashing it without at least removing the s note app will result in infinite FCs. It's otherwise untested.

Touchwiz 4.3
This is Stock WITHOUT any added Note3 features
Download Link
R.A.H.TW_4.3_11-27-13-1908.zip - 1.09 GB
First Boot can take a while be patient.
Known TWRP issue ( and possible CWM ) attempting to preform a restore of TW4.3 may cause bootloop
Bugs
WiFi bug (see wifi patch section)
Signal bar does not show accurate signal (if any)
Possible root lost on first boot (see Root section)
WIFI PATCH FIX
Here's how to get Wifi working. Do this after installing the ROM. Thanks to seanzscreams for the fix and stvn1337 for posting the info. What this fix does is adds the paramaters needed for Wifi to work on TouchWiz 4.3 based ROMs while still allowing us to flash to other ROMs outside of the TouchWiz 4.3 stuff. Be forwarded that these steps do need to be followed pretty much dot on especially when it comes to apply the patch. Deviating on that part might cause some major issues including bricking your device. I will not be held liable if that were to happen or will XDA. You've been pretty well warned. Don't worry this is a pretty easy patch to apply so don't worry too much about it. Smile, eat a Kit Kat, and just do what I tell you. In no time you'll have working Wifi on this ROM.
FILES
4.3param_tz.zip - 690.83 KB
INSTRUCTONS
1 - Download Odin3 and the WiFi Fix files.
2 - Extract Odin3 and the WiFi Fix files. For the WiFi fix you just need to extract 4.3param_tz.zip so the 4.3param_tz.tar file is ready for us with Odin3.
3 - Download and install Samsung drivers if you don't have them already.
4 - Turn off Note 2. After turned off press Volume Down + Home Button + Power to boot into the bootloader.
5 - Plug Note 2 into PC with Odin3 running.
6 - Once your PC has detected and installed drivers your Note 2 should show up in Odin3.
7 - Load the Wifi fix file (should be named 4.3param_tz.tar) into the PDA option in Odin3.
8 - Hit the Start button. It'll only take seconds for the file to do its magic then your Note 2 will reboot into recovery.
9 - Reboot out of recovery.
10 - ????
11 - Wifi should work now!
12 - ????????
13 - PROFIT!

@runandhide05 I am in the same boat as you I have everything working except data/signal.. I have ported from n7100 before but the process seems to be different in this case..4.3. I am still trying to get it corrected with different methods. Can you tell me what you have done so far so we can compare? I started with stock base 4.3 N7100.. Added our csc files, build.prop edits for cdma and a couple lib files and our modem. When I boot it boots fine.. In mobile networks I have option to select cdma/lte but still no signal.. We our missing something that i cant seem to find. Some files that we usually port over have been changed or are non existant in 4.3... and btw what kernel are you using I think this maybe the source of our problem..I can only seem to flash it and get it to boot with the 4.3 stock kernel and I am not skilled or have enough knowledge to know whether kernels have anything to do with lte capabilities.. I would assume so.. And if thats the case we will have to wait for the n7105 leak to get kernel source..

I do have a friend that I have developed a rom with said that he got it booted and signal.. SO let me talk to him today and maybe we can crack this thing.. I was thinking maybe n7105 saber kernel..I will try and let you know.. I have wifi working as well as gps..
NOTE: stvn1337 now is the ROM Port Maintainer.
This is an port of Sky Note from our sister AT&T Note 2 variant. Most things are working on this with a few exceptions like SMS/MMS. This ROM is developed by seanzscreams and wouldn't have been possible to be working on our Note 2 without the hard work of runandhide05 along with several others. Keep in mind that while this runs pretty well there are naturally bugs so be forwarded. I'll try to keep this updated as more bugs are found but so far from my time running this it's pretty smooth with a few exceptions. Please consider this to be experimental and not a fully daily driver.
Original Sky Note ROM thread by seanzscreams with info, pictures, etc.
TouchWiz 4.3 Base Thread by runandhide05
BUGS AND NOTES
- To get data to work you have to toggle airplane mode on then off after booting up.
- Wifi does not work without applying the Wifi Fix that I have detailed below.
- Dial pad does not work while in calls.
- SMS/MMS does not work.
- Backing up this ROM with either Clockworkmod or TWRP works but restore does not.
- Restoring apps from Titanium Backup works on this from my testing without the need of TB Restore Fixer.
If there's anything else in terms of bugs etc I'll update this accordingly.

2 - Extract Odin3 and the WiFi Fix files. For the WiFi fix you just need to extract 4.3param_tz.zip so the 4.3param_tz.tar file is ready for us with Odin3.
3 - Download and install Samsung drivers if you don't have them already.
4 - Turn off Note 2. After turned off press Volume Down + Home Button + Power to boot into the bootloader.
5 - Plug Note 2 into PC with Odin3 running.
6 - Once your PC has detected and installed drivers your Note 2 should show up in Odin3.
7 - Load the Wifi fix file (should be named 4.3param_tz.tar) into the PDA option in Odin3.
8 - Hit the Start button. It'll only take seconds for the file to do its magic then your Note 2 will reboot into recovery.
9 - Reboot out of recovery.
10 - ????
11 - Wifi should work now!
12 - ????????
13 - PROFIT!

Well truth be told there isn't much left that Beans can really do with his JellyBeans ROM on our Note 2 as it's pretty polished as is. Not to mention he's been very busy working on bringing JellyBeans over to the Verizon Note 3 as well.
True.. ok AngryMan. Loaded skynote. On it now. First boot. No data but got a signal. Wifi mode toggles back to off auto. Airplane mode on then back off. 4g is up.. wifi keeps toggling back off.. question. . Which modem do you suggest?

Wifi won't toggle on at all which is why I noticed several times about it in the main post. As far as modem I'm using VRAMC3 myself.
Also can someone test SMS/MMS for me. I don't text so I didn't get a chance to test. From my understanding Hangouts which is included works fine for SMS but if someone can verify that would be great.
Sms fails even through hangouts..

Yeah the tough thing is that unless if someone knows how to port the modem and kernel over to our Note 2 we might be stuck with these bugs until we get some kind of 4.3 Touchwiz leak or official release.
Anyways I'm off to bed for the night. Dead tired here and I got a long day at work coming up.
Thanks AngryMan. Wifi is no biggie for now. Liquidsmooth rom may have some answers or a workaround..

This is an port of Sky Note from our sister AT&T Note 2 variant. Most things are working on this outside of Wifi due to the lack of a proper kernel/bootloader for our Note 2 that supports Wifi. This ROM is developed by seanzscreams and wouldn't have been possible to be working on our Note 2 without the hard work of runandhide05 along with several others. Keep in mind that while this runs pretty well there are naturally bugs so be forwarded. I'll try to keep this updated as more bugs are found but so far from my time running this it's pretty smooth with a few exceptions. Please consider this to be experimental and not a fully daily driver.

TouchWiz 4.3 Base Thread by runandhide05
A Few Notes Please Read:
- To get data to work you have to toggle airplane mode on then off after booting up.
- Wifi does not work due to lack of proper kernel/bootloader that supports Wifi.
- Dial pad does not work while in calls.
- SMS/MMS does not work.
- Backing up this ROM with either Clockworkmod or TWRP works but restore does not.
- Restoring apps from Titanium Backup works on this from my testing without the need of TB Restore Fixer.
If there's anything else in terms of bugs etc I'll update this accordingly.

does this mean you are stuck on this rom once flashing, or that you just have to flash a new rom rather than going back to a back up?

No it says if you do a backup with this ROM it won't restore but your other ones will.

I have managed to get wifi working quite easily
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2502464
if your comfortable with odin grab only step 2 from the link i've posted above and odin in the PDA slot. This is not flashing the ATT bootloader , but only adding the 4.3 wifi paremeters to your current 4.1.2 bootloader allowing you to maintain wifi throughout flashing between 4.1.2 and 4.3 touchwiz.
I have tested this and it does work, but i am not responsible if you do something wrong and brick your phone!
PM me if you have any questions.

You can still restore a backup of another ROM or install a new ROM. It's just that any backups of this ROM won't restore properly.

Awesome. Take it from me folks... don't let your phone fall to the ground and crack your screen. I'm stuck with SafeStrap now and can only live vicariously through threads like these! Great work!
Awesome! GPS has never worked for me on international based ported ROMs, at least on 4.1.2. I mean I've never gotten a lock. If it can be fixed, you guys can do it. Thanks for this. Can't wait to see where this goes. Am certain Verizon will take their sweet time releasing kit kat.

No. I was simply saying they nailed the 4.3 Att port. Maybe with some help from a team effort we could have some of the other functions such as MMS/SMS/GPS working.

not to take away from what those 2 have done, but they took over 4.3 from LA18 and runandhide. those 2 are the ones who ported 4.3 to the verizon note 2

That should work. Just remember that you will need to flash back your stock kernel for the stock rom slot if you need to boot it back up.

Thanks for the continued work on the rezound. I haven't really tried a MIUI based ROM before, but when I get another phone I'll try it out.
If you have a list of what is working, and what it not in Chinese, I can translate if needed.
Also, the camcorder bug that only allows the camcorder to be used three times before requiring a reboot is being worked on by Chucktr at the thread below:

Rom testing last weekend
I had bad luck with this rom. I don't think it plays well with Verizon. Text messaging wouldn't work, and calling out stopped working. It says you are roaming all the time. So I reflahed the stock, and went back to CM11 and all is good. I'm sure sun dream will have the bugs out soon. It does after all say "test". It did look really cool though.

Most of @sun_dream ROMs are GSM specific and don't play well with Verizon... I would image this one is the same so your results are not unexpected.
its been a very long time since i didnt anything on MIUI, but i might be able to take a peak at things on this rom and see if i can get it running better on verizon...have to dust off my rezzy though...i make no promises but ill see what i can do if the OP doesnt mind

Once downloaded the Rom S.ROM-force-KK4.4.4-Miui-XX.zip...
What is pass?
to extract the boot.img I unlock bootloader and S-ON
I hope your prompt response, thanks
This ROM probably needs to be installed with the newest clockwork mod recovery. I was having similar issues with not being able to install sun_dreams other ROM on my S-ON phone, as referenced below. I could not extract that ROM either.
I was able to get the boot.img from another person, who installed the ROM that was S-OFF and could provide it.
