I found out that AudioOut_1 partial wakelock was consuming a lot of battery and I had to disable all system sounds. This has solved the issue.

Another battery hog was GPS kernel wakelock, very active too. Although GPS was supposedly not running (or even disabled) and no apps were requesting it. I then wiped cache and dalvik, rebooted and then the problem was gone. But I read that it may come back.

I've seen that the first issue (AudioOut_1) also happens on the Galaxy SII and the GPS issue on the Note. Would this be an audio driver issue (same hardware) from Samsung and a GLONASS GPS driver issue on ICS?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:
Except the OP doesn't state to do this. It just says don't flash from Samsung ICS - there are many answers to this other than Gingerbread and the OP includes one.

The instructions may change soon - Current nightlies should be safe to flash on dangerous kernels (but I still need to test this on my instrumented kernel to confirm!), although you still need to be careful about wiping from a dangerous kernel. I may package up a "safe wiper" ZIP that people can flash.

/proc/last_kmsg
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] p107r0:
so we would have wipe automatically performed at the start of install process?

would be great
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] adv1sory:
That would be great to have a "safe wiper". Comes in handy when you are a flash fiend. One day you could not be paying attention and *BAM*, you accidently brick your phone watching Pamela Anderson running down the beach in Baywatch. :o
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ahalford:
Not for statistics or something, just to share:

I had one guy yesterday online with me. He received a legacy - half-bricked Note. Per things of the previous owner: Phone was running CM9 05.06 nightly for a while without problems (although, God knows, after which rom it installed and how the guy migratred, probably something was f^^d up). One day he experienced some lags, rebooted, and phone gone into cyclic reboot. He tried to enter recovery, performed wipe cache, installed nightly once again, no result, and cwm disappeared also, download mode only. He tried to flash 4.0.3 odin wipe rom with pit and boot, it was stuck in the middle of the flashing, same result.

We solved it pretty fast. 1.DAFUQ tar - and phone boot up with 4.0.3. CM9 safe kernel tar, full wipes/formats in recovery, and new CM9 installed without any problem.

One more good word to Entropy and team - your work made one more man happy.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:
Not automatically - it would be a separate zip. Wiping automatically would make it very difficult for people to update nightlies!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] p107r0:
I meant the minimum obligatory cleanup before update, i.e. cache & dalvik only (kind of like jBroid kernel cleaning script),

such solution would give one zip-flashing less during update,

although it may be not worth the trouble, with the whole 5-10 seconds saved...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:
You can often update without wiping cache/dalvik - just don't report bugs if wonky stuff happens. Kind of the same deal as with TiBu restores.

I almost always just flash.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PoisonWolf:
Hi folks,

I'm going to try this soon...but I want just a quick clarification. I'm going to flash abyss kernel, reboot into recovery (get red pill recovery?), perform all the GB-level wipes (i.e., perform format of /system, /data/ and /cache under mounts and storage), then flash the nightly (without rebooting recovery after formatting of course). This is kosher, correct?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mauronedj:
Hi to all, one question:

Does samsung releases the s-pen apis???

Why so many app are developed for the s-pen and it's impossible to port it in the rom???

Tanks!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] luke1404:
Not samsung apps are supported here. Its because it was not open source therefore could not be ported is my understanding.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] AlienSr1:
As far as I know the problem is not the API's. S-Pen features in TW roms are integrated in the framework and everything, CM9 does not use those because it makes the phone slower.

It is not impossible to "port" the functions: Take a look at this. It's a great project and all CM9 users will benefit.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:
Personally, I would recommend following the instructions in the OP - which include a link to a safe Odin-flashable kernel with a fully functional recovery.

Other kernels that are perfectly safe to flash from: All DAFUQ and Speedmod releases, Franco R3 and later (R2/R1 are dangerous)

No, these are proprietary APIs. In addition, nearly all of Samsung's apps have undocumented framework dependencies beyond the S-Pen APIs. Applications that use the standard Android 4.0 stylus APIs (such as Quill) instead of Samsung's nonstandard crap will work.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MR.change:
Guys what do this even mean? I saw it in the changelog but couldn't understand how is it any different from the long press back to kill that cm9 had ever since the 1 experimental build?!!

It's ticked away under settings ---->development options

Yes, disable safe volume levels from sound settings

I don't think the kj1 method will work if you flash it over ICS, cause it's not a full ROM .

Also if you flash from the pre rooted KJ1 directly, you will most likely have partial root only when you flash cm9, I know it happened to me once, but it could have been a coincidence.

I solved it by flashing another GB ROM from mobile ODIN using the ever root option first, then flashed cm9

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mauronedj:
I'm talking about the s-pen function like the buttons on it, not the samsung s-pen app...

Why 3rd part app like Memo or Freenote can recognize the s-pen button touch??? And if they can why is so difficult to use this function in a rom (to make shortcuts whit long press or slide up whit this buttons pressed like the TW rom)

Sorry my first question is unprecise!

::EDIT::

Oops, it looks like you are familiar with Memo by Garside's s-pen button and pressure support. I should read more carefully.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:
ICS - If you're on GB already just flash from CWM. GB kernels are safe to wipe from and flash from.

Theres a slightly unknown corner case of a GB kernel combined with an "unsafe" update-binary - but ours should be safe now. (I'll be able to say more confidently in a day or two whether any nightly since 6/13-6/14 or so is safe.)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mauronedj:
That's what I'm talking about, why is so difficoult to do this when simple other developers are making apps like Memo....

I can't understand the reason that is so difficoult, I'm not criticizing the developers.

Thanks for your answers!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nickshertzer:
Limited resources. So much developer effort has been put into dissecting the EMMC brickbug, SOD problems, & just getting everything to work. The spit and polish will come with time. As you can see on the Open Design site, the Stylus feature set is still pending a developer willing to work on it.

AFAIK, writing an APK that uses it's own standalone libraries is much easier than a system level integration of s-pen support (that would likely break other things, and so on)

Hope that helps... or clear as mud?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mauronedj:
Tanks for the reply man, very clear!

But I even can not understand why it's more difficoult!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rgreat:
I have several issues, can anyone help?:

1. Sometimes phone get stuck on lockscreen (ignores touch input). LongPress power button work, and bring up a menu, where i can tap like 10 times anythere and get input fixed.

2. Slow ADB USB file upload into Nand or Class 10 SD (~1.5 mb/sec). Download seems fine (20 mb/sec)

3. Foreground aplications seem like unloading their data from memory if i press Home button or use internal task manager to change tasks. and i have enough of free mem.

Solved!

4. Automatic backlight very rarely update light sensor values (like once in 10-30 seconds) and only have like 4-5 values (10-100-1000-10000-? lumen).

P.S. i will say "thanks" to anyone.

+1 for Number 1 above me.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MR.change:
Just to be sure ,you meant safe to flash from a dangerous ICS kernel right?

1- install the latest nightly ,you're on an old nightly which had this bug ,am I correct? what nightly are you on?

2-some people have this problem (me included ,though I have not checked for a while now) others don't ,the Devs don't have it so they can't help ,again maybe an old nightly?

if lattest nightly doesn't fix it then just use Wifi to transfer files ,it's faster than the USB cable for me (last time I checked anyway).

3-go to settings ----->developement options ,check if you have "don't keep activities" ticked ,and untick it ,then check "background process limit" and set it to standard.

4-automatic light sensor is slower than sammy ROMs yes ,but nothing major in the latter nightlies ,again what build are you on?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rgreat:
First: Thanks for your reply.

1. I always tends to have latest nightly. I had 18/06 before 30 minutes ago. Now i have 20/06. Lets hope it helps somehow.

I noticed a problem with lockscreen several nightlys after LS weather/calendar was added.

2. WiFi transfer is a like 2 times faster, but still much slower compared to stock USB speeds i used to have. Also i do not have WiFi on work.

What speed do you get on FTP transfer? Maybe i need to use different FTP server.

3. BIG THANKS! Uncheck "don't keep activities" worked! ;)

4. Will hope for news from Devs...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PoisonWolf:
4. Try Lux from the market as a paid alternative. I personally find it to be awesome.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rgreat:
Used it before. But it is currently not linked with system tools or widgets and can add extra load on CPU/RAM/Battery.

And still lighting sensor on CM9 give only 4(!) gradations in lumen's, while camera scan cannot be used in dynamic/periodic modes. :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] M3TALLICA:
Hello Entropy and XplodWild,

I want to report a small possible bug. I tried a minfree init.d script but values did not stick. May be the kernel does not support init.d or I have faulty code.

I rechecked that there were no blank spaces or syntax errors. Later I found that busybox location was xbin so I edited the code but still no go...

Thanks for your hardwork.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Cygnust:
Wanted to know if you plan to include twrp to CM

Sorry for the noob question, but i have cm9 with my touchpad and it seems twrp is included within

Actually i don't know how are kernel and recovery linked together, I just know that I installed once twrp on my touchpad via goomanager and now each time I update CM9 recovery is untouched.

When I tried to do the same with the kernel from AOK 39 and CM9 from note, my recovery is overwritten ..

Thanks in advance for enlightening me ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] samarium:
init.d works fine, I use it to start dropbear

try manually changing minfree file then using cat to examine it. If you get the same output as your input then your changes were accepted

Does your script work when you run it manually?

Are the ownerships and permissions of your script the same as other scripts in that directory?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:
Also keep in mind that the skillsets to do a device bringup and maintain a kernel are very different from those needed to write an app.

You will never see an app written by me... I just suck at UI stuff, period. I stick more down near the hardware.

Cyanogen pinged me about figuring out some sort of app to include with CM since he's bringing up CM9 on the AT&T Note - unfortunately the two best examples I know of (Quill and apparently Papyrus) are both paid apps.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:
Recovery is within the main kernel on most Samsung devices (GS3 and Tegra/Qualcomm devices are the exception). On our device, the "recovery" partition is unused - it's all in "boot".

Not at all ideal when driving, jogging, riding, walking...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Cygnust:
Thanks for the answer !

If I understand, you mean that kernel and recovery are stucked together within boot ?

It means that if I ever flash an eventual twrp, it will always be overwritten by a CM9 update, unlike on my touchpad ?

Hi,

Sorry for noob question.

I'm not sure if this belongs to the CM general, or it is device specific but ...

When I put the phone into a desk dock and clock app starts, when the clock enters to dim mode, softkeys backlit stays on witch is distracting for me.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:
In general, even if apps are free from some locations, if they're paid on the market, authors don't like if their app is bundled.

You'll note that nearly all of those are still waiting for a developer.

Interesting - however I'm not sure whether he'd be interested in bundling.

Not right now. Depending on how portable codeworkx's I9300 patch is, I might be able to get it in sometime in the next week or two.

Remember to add the 'media_profiles.xml' file i gave earlier in this thread on the next build.

It gives us 25 Mbps in video bitrate and 128 Kbps in AAC stereo audio quality on the recorded videos.

The Camera.apk i linked to earlier to, it's not that important to have if you don't want it, since the only thing it does is to let you store pictures and recorded videos on the microSD card.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MR.change:
Thanks to everyone of you amazing devs for making these things possible on our notes ,XpoldWiLd ,entropy , and all the others , just thank you you're amazing.

I think that since this Rom and kernel doesn't have the risk of corrupting the eMMC , thus not gonna brick the device ,I'm actually gonna try it and get my first taste of ICS

One question though , can I go back to GB normally via CM9 recovery and restore my nandroid backup from there as I normally would?

or must I flash abyssnote 4.2 (redpill or cwm version of abyssnote?) kernel first like with all the other ics leaks?

Is that aimed at non-standard DPIs (like those which are not 240,213 etc) or does it mean we have to stick to the stock 320? I would love to go to 213 (or at least 240).

Did you really just ask for an ETA on an UNANNOUNCED OS? WTF man?

GT-N7000 will most likely get updates to any foreseeable Android OS. That was the whole point of Xplod and Entropy building an open source from scratch kernel.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:
Xplod is primarily working the scratch kernel. The main problem with the scratch kernel is - kernel isn't everything. Blobs can be a major headache. That is, for example, why camera doesn't work on any of the Honeycomb tablets that have CM9 (except ones that received ICS updates) - HC camera blobs don't work on ICS.

We honestly won't know until it comes out. If Google changes RIL interfaces - bad news for us. Same for libaudio... If libaudio compatibility changes we're screwed until someone completely reverse engineers the existing one and rewrites one from source. (I9000 and derivatives were lucky here - being a semi-clone of the Nexus S meant that source-built libaudio wasn't too difficult.)

I would expect that Aries devices will probably again be the first "non-Nexus" devices to get a good solid bringup, simply due to the fact that they have open source implementations of nearly anything, and can kangbang from crespo for the rest.

The good news of this is that there's incentive to do these blob rewrites, because the same things block the I9100 from getting whatever is next. The N7000 is so similar to the I9100 that if the I9100 gets a solid CM10 bringup, most likely so will we.
