Code name of the device is '''Midas'''. | |||

== Installation == | |||
=== System Image === | |||
You can install the system to an SD card or make a [[Installation from recovery mode|recovery zip]] (probably won't fit in the partition size). | |||
{{Note|Be warned, the SD card will be formatted.}} | |||
To install the system to an SD card, use: | |||
<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">$ pmbootstrap install --sdcard=/dev/mmcblk</syntaxhighlight> | |||
=== Kernel Image === | |||
Boot into flash mode, then flash the kernel: | |||
<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">$ pmbootstrap flasher flash_kernel</syntaxhighlight> | |||
If you have done everything correctly, your Note II should reboot and you should see the Samsung logo. All that remains is to wait for the pmOS splash to appear. | |||
== U-Boot == | |||
According to [https://blog.forkwhiletrue.me/pages/midas-mainline/ this blog], there is a working U-Boot port for the Midas devices. | |||
Build it from [https://github.com/fourkbomb/u-boot/ this repository]. | |||
=== Installation === | |||

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session"> | |||

== Hardware == | |||
=== Display === | |||
Note II has two variants of the display panel. S6EVR02 and EA8061. To find out which panel yours has, run <code>dmesg | grep 'panel driver'</code> in TWRP or in a rooted Android shell (immediately after booting, otherwise the logs will have time to rotate and you won't see this message). Output will be similar to: | |||
<pre> | |||
<6>[ 3.177303] lcd panel: ea8061 lcd panel driver has been probed. | |||
</pre> | |||
TWRP dmesg is rather verbose. If no result, tap the power button to turn the display on (or off), and try <code>dmesg | grep panel</code> | |||

Original kernel version: 3.0.31
LineageOS kernel version: 3.0.101
S Pen
To get the S Pen working, you may need to do the following:
- Put the following lines to
/etc/udev/hwdb.d/60-evdev.hwdb
:
evdev:name:*e-pen* EVDEV_ABS_00=::300 EVDEV_ABS_01=::300
- Possibly update the hwdb:
$ sudo udevadm hwdb --update
- Restart the phone.

TWRP
Only if you still have Android installed. Make sure to boot into recovery mode at least once after flashing it, otherwise it will be overwritten by the default recovery. |
Using Heimdall:
$ heimdall flash --RECOVERY TWRP.img --no-reboot
Recommendations
- Enable SWAP.
- Enable binfmt_misc (CONFIG_BINFMT_MISC).
Issues
- The display brightness is too high when the display turns on.
- Solution: Change the brightness so it changes to the correct value.
- The sound output is distorted.
- Note: It's based on the CPU load.
- USB OTG doesn't switch modes automatically.
- Default CPU frequency is only 1.4GHz.
- Solution: Modify the device tree and add required frequencies.
- Warning: Do not touch it unless you know what you're doing!
