For this week’s Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7100 ROM of the Week, check out Phantom ROM.
Based on latest Android 4.4.2 KitKat firmware, Phantom ROM brings you some great Note 3 and Galaxy S5 features so you can enjoy the best of both worlds.
Phantom ROM, as its name implies, also comes with great performance and long battery life for those concerned for using it as daily driver. It comes with battery/performance tweaks, and memory/RAM tweaks that will help you get the most out of your Note 2.
As for features, you will find a slew of Note 3 features including Note 3 Air Command, Pen Window, Scrap Booker, Action Memo, Note 3 apps, and much more.
Phantom ROM also gives you the option to install additional S5/Note3 apps/features, which comes as a separate zip file. These include S5 Accuweather widget and Note2/Note 3 sounds. You will also get S5 apps for Calculator, Email, MMS, My Files, Video Player, Scrapbook, S Health, S Translator, keyboard, S5 wallpapers, and some more. There’s also 13 S5 launcher themes, which is a ton of great themes you can customize your TouchWiz launcher with. These are not installed by default when you install the zip file, you can install them one-by-one as you need. (See video above for instructions on this.)
Overall, Phantom ROM combines many of new Note 3/S5 features without causing a havoc on your app drawer with the user-selected approach for many of its features. Definitely check it out for this week’s ROM of the week and do let me know what you think!

Pretty cool looking ROM but having to jack around with reinstalling everything when I want simple changes is a drag! If the developer could role up all them great features into a menu under Settings, this ROM would rock, IMHO!!

Please advise, how to resolve it.
Umair Shaikh
same wifi problem here 🙁
Awesome work!! Much appreciated!! Superb performance 🙂 Cheers!!!
Are you facing any wi fi issues? if not, then which boot loader are you using?
no woring 100 percent fine
make sure u r on MJ5 bootloader or download wifi fix from xda website.
Link?? I checked download island on the phanthom XDA site and no wifi fix that I can find.
this works for me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8InHhOgLHds
Thanks a lot dude i got the wifi issue fixed
my so is in the samsung logo, does not restart. I made the recovery method to return the original settings and nothing remains in logotigo. WHAT SHOULD I DO?
I can verify wifi DOES NOT work from the get go..
Wifi Fix anyone?
OK. I looked into the MJ5 hack and found a page that had a wifi fix for 4.3, couldn’t find 4.4 so I figured I’d try it. It worked using the two files suggested in this website. I did not download or use the last file suggested. After using odin to flash the patch, rebooting, wifi comes on. It works! I don’t know what it or how. Don’t ask me. As with everything else, use at your peril..
Now I can move on to the next issue. What’s up with resources, Max. It finished installing but then rebooted. I didn’t get any of the screens you showed in your video. How do you invoke it?
Never mind. It put the new directory in a different location than from where I installed the resources. Found it. Playing. Happy.. Thanks!
could you plz put the link for the wifi fix
and the instructions
Try flashing this with ODIN:
http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyNote2/fix/N7100MJ2patch.tar.md5
In PDA or AP.

plz guys any one help…. what about Md5 file…
http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyNote2/fix/N7100MJ2patch.tar.md5 …….. this file is not working in odin properly….plzzz give any other link
hello i installed phantom rom for n7100.. i have problem wifi is not working cannot open or on. please help me to solve it. pls reply asap thanks!
Well, I got a message during installing the ROM. Something about my root access needing to be fixed. I did not allow it to “fix” because I had root access before installing this ROM. It does appear though that I have lost root access. Is this a result of installing this ROM?
No, it’s a result of you not choosing to fix root… 😀
Yes, one may loose root when flashing. Flash SuperSu and that should fix it.

Max,
The Phantom ROM is the BEST ROM I have ever tried! The install process is absolutely fantastic and everything worked great from the start on my N7100 running 4.4.2, even WiFi. The Air Command is awesome!
THANKS!!!
Hi Mark,
Thanks allot for support and providing review of this nice rom.
This is the best rom I ever tried. No issues at all. Battery backup is stunning. End of the day, I am left with 80% battery.. Running from almost one week, everything is superb.
I would like to remove the battery icon from notification, some how i end up touching it when pulling notification bar down and it just consumes my touch and does not do anything.
How can I do that?
I tried following the sequence of installation (ROM > Resource > Air Command > SuperSU) and all works great. However upon checking SuperSu, I found out that it’s not working. 🙁 Can you help me resolve this please? Cheers.
how to install phantom resources?
already installed it. all working great now except for one thing, do you know how to fix the supersu. it says that if you just upgraded to android 4.3, you need to manually re-root it. any ideas how to fix it?
nevermind i already figured it out how to fix it. just reflash the supersu updated and it will work.
hi, i installed the rom without any problems but the wifi doesn’t work, i got the fix but i cannot flash it from Mac OS is there a way to do it?
Phantom Rom version 3.1 is available at XDA. But the download not completing due to site problems I belive. Also the same downloads available at Mojosmirror site. There also the download not completing. Anybody can provide a solution?
Hi, Thanks for the ROM, Works Great.
I Had no wifi to, and the patch didn’t work so i found one that dose:
http://depositfiles.com/files/hbay2i0wj
flash with Odin in the PDA / AP line, it kind of “glitched” when i rebooted,
it initially rebooted itself twice, but then it booted wifi and all.
I decided to install v4.0. It didn’t show any resources packages made for 4.0 so I was hoping that they were all rolled in with ROM. The install using Aroma installer went perfect. Setup the phone and then installed the stability update. Unfortunately, it’s stock phantom with none of the resources from previous builds. I’m wondering if they are going to release a resource package to support the 4.0 build.
Otherwise, everything runs very smooth. I just wish I had access to some of the tweaks.
Works great except Wifi. The patch file gives md5 error with ODIN.
Any comment?
i figured out the wifi prob.
for those who couldnt toggle the wifi icon, its becoz your note2 is not knox disabled.
1st, flash KS_MULTI_CSC_N7100XXUEMJ5
2nd, flash MJ5BLPatch.tar.md5.
3rd, flash wifi fix for MJ2.
all of those 3 files, u can google it or get it from xda forum, then flash it with odin. ( i personally using odin 3.07, flash on PDA.)
Then, get the cwm recovery from this website.
Then only install phantom rom.
Reason of problem. Latest 4.3 built have new bootloader and samsung have implemented knox security
There are two methods to fix this.
Method 1: You are on old bootloader (No warranty bit in download mode) and dont want to update bootloader, Flash Dr. Ketan’s Wifi patch.
Method 2: You are on bootloader and want to Flash New bootloader
Files needed:
Odin 3.9 https://docs.google.com/uc?authuser=0&id=0B6OcGH8yjAPOM3RrT3hUc2xhQ00&export=download
Dr. Ketan’s Wifi patch http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2342179&d=1382427777

Hi,
Tried flashing this ROM … phone stuck on installer screen saying wiping data for more than an hour. Is is normal?
It is safe to use reboot into recovery when this is going on?
Cheers
yes you can reboot.
Thanks … can you also suggest what I need to do to get air command working?… flashed it, clicked on the app icon says air command on … but still won’t work
Did you hold the button down?
Yes I did … is there any thing else I can do ?… I’d really like to get this working
That’s weird, did you try clicking on the app instead?
Yeah I did … every time I click the app it says air command on … but does not work
Yes I have the same issue and it seems my phone is no longer fully rooted. I will try all solutions when I get home next week as I also want to swap the SD card with the memory.
Hopefully re root and try another install.
Hi Ma
is there any phantom rom for galaxy note 2 n7105?
Or any other rom whom must be ling battery life and more featured with air command and else?
Not sure 7105 but let me look this week for something similar.
Ok Max
Hope and wait 4 you cause I like much Phantom rom.
Thanks for high-lighting the ROM Max!
Followed your link to XDA and downloaded the ROM from there. It’s on version 6.0 now, wi-fi worked out of the box,
Viper4Android is bundled in and the battery’s life is better than stock. Still exploring. 🙂
Again, thanks for drawing attention to this ROM.
Please provide necessary instructions that how I should install phantom v7 rom on my network unlocked sgh-t889 running on stock 4.3 rom.
This is only for N7100.
v7 is nice on my n7100!! I’m using it with Nova launcher instead of the default touchwiz. There is one weird thing that has happened in both v6 and now v7. My wifi antenna will just stop working. No errors. It turns off and then doesn’t turn back on even with a reboot.
The only thing which gets the antenna working again is shutting the phone down completely. I guess that’s a workaround for now, but I’m wondering if anyone else is having that problem. I’m trying to narrow down the cause and the closest thing I’ve got so far is I think it may have something to do with scanning NFC codes. Not sure yet.
If I find out, I’ll post but it ran for a couple days before it happened after installing v6 and v7. I always do full wipe so not because improper install AFAIK. Any ideas Max? I tried to report on XDA and although its a treasure trove of information, it seems that only special people can post there. Or at least, they won’t let me post. Something about developers only..
Thanks Kevin i got the wifi issue fixed plz check this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8InHhOgLHds
which is better?
Phantom rom or Omni rom?
especially for s-pen features , battery life ….. thanks

How to download Indian firmware for galaxy note2
Go to SamFirmware.com and enter GT-N7100 as model number, you should be able to find Indian firmware.
Hi Everyone.. this Phantom 7 rom works almost flawlessly as far as I know..
The installation process is pretty smooth as well.
One issue that I don’t know how to address – and yes I have contacted the developers of Runtastic.
I want to use the Runtastic Pedometer Pro which I have used successfully for a very long time on other roms.
Now on this ROM the g sensor for walking does not register steps… Yeess the sensor has been tested and is working but the free and paid versions of the pedometer do not sense the steps under any circumstances. I tried two others ..Noom and Accupedo and both these work normally and would be acceptable alternatives if necessry.
Would someone with Phantom 7 mind checking how the Runtastic pedometer works on their Note 2.
In advance thanks so much!

This ROM is awesome so far but the only thing I can’t seem to figure out is the pull up from fake jap. every time i swipe to the side or up it says, “Unfortunately, pullup from fake jap has stopped”. Any ideas on what to do? Thanks.

Can this work on my note2 t889 tmobile
Can this work on my note2 t889 tmobile pls
No, please do not install.
air view is alright!! but what about air gesture?
Just installed v10 on my n7100. Everything seems to work but looks like bluetooth is broke on v10. BT worked great on v9 with all my BT devices. Can’t pickup anything with V10. Anyone else having BT issues ith v10?
This is a show stopper because I cannot pair with my Blueant Hands Free device in my car anymore. I gues I could go back to v9 and keep my fingers crossed..
I need to update my post because after switching between v9 & v10, I found my problem which was interfering with “calling.” This ended up being a program I had. However, the BT remains broke. I verified that v9 detects all my BT devices but v10 will not detect anything. It turns on and recognizes my phone but that’s all.
I did try the fix that was published for BT range issues in v9 and it does not fix v10 BT. I love this rom and made a donation so I’m hoping they will put out a BT fix for v10 soon. Otherwise, this rom is SOLID for the n7100! Awesome features!!
OK. So I got v10 to work right but had no idea why. Then v11 came out and decided to try that. No dice. So I d/led different copies and installed from different directories and each time, BT was not working right. Then I thought back to the time I got v10 to work and realized I didn’t check BT until after I had installed my apps..
So this time, I decided to see what was getting installed immediately after a new ROM is installed. I looked at my apps in google play and noticed that SU needed to update. I wondered if v1.94 was causing the BT problems. So I updated SU in google play and tried connecting to my blueant hands free device.
BINGO!! It works with update to SU v1.94 but not with SU v1.94 from XDA as recommended. Perhaps this is isolated to my configuration. But I hope it helps someone. Phanthom v11 is working marvelously now!!
Hello, i downloaded the rom and install it. It works fine, i love it but i have a big problem. When i try to cal it says “unregistered on network” cant make calls. Can you help me find a modem patch or something to make this rom work? I live in Romania, have a note 2 international with working 4.3 ROM N7100ZSENE1 / version number JSS15J.N7100ZSUENE1.
