[Q] Question on Whompasaurus ROM - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

I seem to be locked out from posting this on the Whompasaurus thread. I may not have enough posts to put it there yet?
Does this ROM have OTA updates? I always seem to miss the updates as they roll out and I want to make sure I get each one. This morning I had a samsung prompt asking me to update. I think if I was running the current Whomp version this wouldn't happen. Now I'm struggling to download the most UTD version on a sad hotel wifi connection! I'm a sad cookie this morning
If I can get OTA updates, how do I set that up? Or is there any other way to stay up to date on new versions? Other than stalking the XDA thread? I can never seem to work that into my daily or weekly schedule.
Thanks for any help!

They will update to the new update when they have the time .... most custom roms dont really do a ota add your thinking .... Some mostly on htc side did something similar but not a true ota ... you can't post in dev until you get 10 post ...

Thanks everyone! I figured out how to subscribe to the Developer rom thread so I should get email alerts of a new version. Hopefully...
Finally have the new version installed and that annoying update prompt hasn't come back. I'm a happy camper

I always just skim through the Development Threads and watch the dates. OTA messages on some ROMs don't always show everything.
Should check the thread and get a feeler. Kind of like how 4.0 was a little rushed, so then the 4.2 revision came out shortly after. Sucks to wait a while on bad hotel WiFi only to find out you have to download a new version right after. Lol.

Thanks! Maybe I'll set a weekly alarm to check the thread... LOL I need reminders for everything. Good thing I have a smart phone!

Lol. When it's slow at work, I skim every Note II Forum. Always new stuff showing up.

I used to be able to do that... Then I got moved into a new position and am still trying to learn what I'm supposed to do while doing what needs to be done yesterday. So glad I'm on vacation now! LOL

I have more ROM questions and still don't have enough posts to ask the developers....
The call screen while I'm on a phone call, if I bring up the number pad the call options don't minimize. So they are in the way of the numbers. So instead of being able to press zero I would hit mute. Is there any way to fix this?
The call log screen has the first line of info hidden by a top bar. Any way to fix this? I think it might be because I chose the option of adding soft keys at the bottom of the screen (home, back, and Windows)
On the camera app (not the jelly bean camera app) the button to take a picture is half hidden with a bar so it's very difficult to take a pic an the first press.
I've done wipes and have reflashed the ROMS twice so I don't think it's an install issue. Can anyone offer any advice?

The magical search button and your firmware notification

Hey everyone,
I've noticed about 500 new posts a day saying, "I'm rooted and go an update notification. It's probably JB, should I take it?"
I'm here to help you out.
1. It's not JB. When it does come out you'll see people by the names of Freeza, zanderman, MrTimz, TEAMERA, clark44, etc get very excited and post about how awesome it is that JB is out. We'll be more than happy to at that time. Googling tech blogs and such will also help you stay on top of developing news of this nature.
2. If you have a custom recovery go ahead and accept. The installation will fail and everything will be fine upon reboot. If you have a stock recovery you can update but will probably lose root. Root again using normal methods.
3. The only JB out is leaked build that you would have to install normally.
4. Feel free to flash these builds to try them out and stop asking if you should. It's safe but ultimately your decision, not ours.
5. Stop posting in the dev section. Those of you who can't yet, it's for good reason, not to be mean. The only things you should post in the dev section are Roms, kernels and modifications to Android that you created.
6. If you aren't sure of something and don't want to sound silly, PM an experienced member. I've never had a question posed to me on here that I wasn't happy to help answer within my abilities.
7. Enjoy the place but please stop cluttering it up with the same question over and over. The search button will reveal that you probably weren't the first to ask your question. If you are, then kudos, feel free to post it in the Q & A section to be handled.
Thanks! Love ya guys!
Hey, I just got this message about an update, any info would be great. Is it JB? Thanks in advance, Ive heard your the man to see about this issue

Global Mode prompt issue! Help please

Alright,
I'll yet and reach out one more time.
I don't know wtf happened to my phone in the last 24 hours but I am getting a prompt to switch to global mode about every thirty seconds when I'm not in cell reception range.
This sucks because I live in a no reception area, I'm getting prompted 100 times an hour!
This never happened before yesterday when I flashed CM 10.1
I completely odin back to stock and re provisioned my device.. After flashing back I'm still getting these annoying prompts to enable global mode.
Can someone please tell me how to completely disable global mode?
What I'll never understand is I have been running the K3 ota for over a week and this only started yesterday.
Please help!

I'm having the same exact issue, it just started. I don't know what's going on and I'm using Mean Lean Jellybean build 4, tomorrow I'm going to flash Build 5 but I've been using 4 for weeks. I also live in a bad service area. Hopefully someone can help, it nearly makes the phone unusable at home.

I did a dirty flash of Build 5 over Build 4 and it seems to have stopped. Maybe try a different ROM? I'll do some more testing and update this is if in fact the issue starts again.

I see this thread in the Verizon S3 section. Granted it is in the Accessories part. But I've never went into the Sprint section, so they must have the forums combined.
Sent from my Verizon Galaxy S III using xda-premium
Interesting, maybe it is combined. It still should be moved to q & a, would probably get more answers there.
What is "global mode" ?
It asks you to switch to it. What happens when you do?
Yea, I've never seen global mode on my sprint s3.
Global Mode is under more settings in the networks section..
This thing is driving me nuts! Sorry about the accessories post. Im going to repost
In q and a.

Not on a Sprint phone, our model isn't a world phone. You shouldn't need to repost, you can pm a mod and they will move it for you.

Up-to-date ROM list

Hi,
In case it helps, I have an up-to-date Galaxy Note 2 ROM list kept here, which includes the Sprint model.
Someone was asking for a list in the AT&T section, so I thought I'd post this info in each section to tell people.
It's kind of a hobby, but it's kept up-to-date pretty much every day.
Some of you might find it useful.
I had been looking for this being sometimes ROMS you never know about get flooded out. This is CLEAN
Was wondering if u could add the dates they were released. I seen Clean Rom & was about to jump in then realized its no longer supported. Gonna try that JB 12 release I didnt realize was updated from 11.damn
No biggie if u cant put date,u did alot already. Just a suggestion
Good lookning out either way!!
Cool. Yea a date would be nice...

@OP, May I suggest adding the USCC variant to your page. Only support we get is from NA7Q and teamuscellular. Alot of us troll over here and it would be nice to see an all in one page. This would definately help

Adding a date is a good idea. It's a little cramped for space, depending on the length of the rom name. That's why I use the red dot which shows that the rom has been updated or modified in the last 7 days.
The list is checked and updated every day. The red dot, might be a couple of days out from time to time.
Thx great

I just checked it out. That works! Made it easier to look thru and see which ROMS are the latest
Thanks!
I want to echo some of the comments above. Very surprised that the ROMs are so up to date. Knowledge is power. Thank you for your efforts sir.
Thanks. I appreciate it.
Hi,
It came to my attention that I'd forgotten to add a few roms from the `Original Android Development' sections for the different carriers.
Sorry about that. Those roms have now been added.

Look I really appreciate the work all these Devs do on these roms. But why not just all get together and make 1 really solid 4.3 rom where everything works. Every rom I flash has its own perks but also every single rom has something that isnt working.

You sir are why devs quit sharing their work with us. You know, the work they do in their spare time after working, spending time with wife/husband/kids etc. Seriously, if you aren't happy with a rom you can fix it yourself, wait for it to be fixed or use another rom. There is no excuse to come here and act like some self-entitled jackwagon.
P.S. Jackwagon was the nicest word I could think of.
No one said "flash my rom or I kill your dog". If you don't like to be a part of a big experiment, go follow a cooking forum.
But to help you understand why a developed rom sometimes has errors:
Developers may get a leaked source and they tinker with it to get it out to us ahead of the official release. Other times they get a rom from a similar device and port it over to our phone, and it takes trial and errors to make the port work.

Check out the guy in the (ROM) Sky Note Air - 4.3 I317UCUBMK6-MJ4 Hybrid 12-25-13 thread, that told Seanz "no rush" when he was told an update was coming.
Dude was up until midnight last time busting it out and went at it again today.
Seanz missed a few things in the first release, but thank the lord, the guy is not in a hurry to get the fixes.
Helluva human being there.
And I was being a **** for pointing out he did not reading ONE fricking page back to see that Seanz was working on a fix.

He just flashed the update and killed his keyboard. Doh !
Forgive my negative opinions/views.
Very bad day at work. On top of the bad day my phone borked itself first thing after I got to work after a restart. Everything started falling apart and I knew I wouldnt be able to fix it all till I got home which was barely 30 minutes ago.
As always my gratitude is extended to all the devs of this community! Ive been a happy member since 2009. And XDA has provided me with plenty of ups and downs.
Mods please close/delete this thread.

Hey bro, you asked for forgiveness but you should first apologize; no excuses please. It's the right thing to do.
Shutting this thread for a variety of reasons...the first being XDA is not a support site...if you do not like the work, then move on. No one really will miss those who are ungrateful or self-righteous.
