[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] StNickZA:
I've built CM10 using espenfjo's vendor blobs and the following three patches:

http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/c/23580/

http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/c/23924/

http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/c/23797/

Without doubt, this is the first CM10 that I've used which is smooth out the box. Traditionally, I always flash Hydracore on top of the nightlies to get this kind of performance!

It is very early to declare this a home-run as I've only been using it for 10 minutes, but so far, so good.

If you would like to try it out for yourself, you can grab it here:

http://stnick.stnick.co.za/cm-10-20120927-UNOFFICIAL-n7000.zip

As usual, all credit goes to the CM devs, especially Entropy.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Bilarn32:
Thanks, will try it out!:D

Edit: Smoothness confirmed, very nice indeed :) Thanks Entropy also!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] AA1973:
Nice and smooth. Thanks for that! Only issue I ran into was superuser not behaving like I wanted, so I flashed SuperSU and now everything is sorted. I didn't change the kernel, so running as "delivered". And until now, memory is not leaking ;)

Cheers!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] smeddy:
Wahey! Three hours in... this is amazing! I don't believe this is placebo effect (although of course I'd think that!). My launcher, TSF, is fantastic. Even makes my screen feel like it's got a new surface!!

When these get in to the night lies, just wow. Thanks to you, and to Utacka and Entropy, and to everyone else for getting us this far.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sonkameja:
Is it really that good? I've been using nightlies and I don't see enough of a change to warrant ****ty battery life, and I'm on an extended battery which have me a day and a half on gingerbread but only five to six hours on jelly bean. Google now is just a gimmick that isn't that impressive to me. Overall I just see a few tweaks work the ui. Wi-Fi is weaker and I have also tried the hydracore variant of the kernel.

Only change I truly like is the quick messages

Other than the issues mentioned above someone convince me.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sorcio46:
Impressive, i am trying on mine Note, for the first time i don't need a custom kernel.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:
IF THE 9/28/2012 NIGHTLY DOES NOT BOOT, WE ARE ALREADY AWARE OF IT. DON'T POST AND ***** ABOUT IT.

Espenfjo's blob patch for galaxys2-common accidentally made it into an n80xx-related pull request. Those blobs will cause an unbootable system without kernel changes not merged yet. Recovery will work though. There is a possibility the issue may be fixed before the build system kicks off, but I'm going to be heading out pretty soon.

On another note: I'm rebuilding now. My build will add open-source hwcomposer http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/c/19925/

I'd like people to try both StNick's build AND the one I'm working on - I'm not sure if the open-source hwcomposer is better or worse. It has some of the JB smoothness improvements, but it is also far more likely to have weird-ass bugs.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gedster314:
Anyone else having problems using hotpot with a Mac? I'm using a MacBookAir with Lion and it connects fine but after 10 minutes I lose internet but am still connected my Note. PC's and other devices are fine for well over an hour.

Not the first time I have had Wifi issues with Apple crap. I suspect if I change the mac address on my Note's Wifi to an Apple one it would probably work great. ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LordManhattan:
I've used the test build for a couple of hours now and it runs great, but the battery drops around 10% per hour. I've checked and i can't really figure out what's draining it. Media scanner and RILJ are acting just fine as usual, and there are no processes gone wild.

I'll let it do its thing over night and check how it's doing in the morning.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:
http://d-h.st/JK7 - Build with opensource hwcomposer. Please compare with StNick's build. This has additional "jellybean" features - but it probably also has some nasty graphics bugs.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] trell959:
It feels overall slower than StNick's build.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] StNickZA:
Had a strange thing happen this morning with my build. My alarm went off, but the phone would not wake up for about 20 seconds or so. Not sure what happened there, but its something I've never seen before so I'm assuming it is build-specific.

I haven't yet had a chance to try Entropy's build with the opensource hwcomposer; probably tonight only as I want to see how the battery fares on this build first. I have a suspicion it is going to be sub-par. :( As far as everything else goes, I'm very happy with the performance, and no sign of the dreaded memory-leak as yet! :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] armanderli:
Can we use a custom kernel with your unofficial CM10...?

Envoyé depuis mon GT-N7000 avec Tapatalk
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] StNickZA:
IF it worked at all (I'm not even sure it would because of the newer binaries used), doing so would negate the effects of the patches in this build. I'm guessing it would pretty much be the same as flashing over the latest nightly build, and therefore pointless.

Why don't you try it and let us know? :p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] toxicthunder:
yeah, i dont think you should tinker with the kernel just yet.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] armanderli:
Already have tried...didn't boot...just a black screen with lightning 'back and menu' buttons...Had to go back to CWR and reflash your build...

As a feedback,I can say that the first CM10 I use with animations enable at 1 and the rom is working flawlessly....No bug yet

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] smeddy:
Mine's still running fine 15 hours later, although I'll keep an eye on battery drain as not observed it properly yet. But this feels good on memory and buttery.

Ps Google Now is said to be a battery drainer.. I disabled it
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Talung:
I have had a similiar issue from Multiple nightly builds from the 24th and also St Nicks build. Basically if a Calendar alarm goes off, you cannot stop it without rebooting.

Tried volume, dismissing it etc... Only solution is reboot. This does not impact phone performance at all. Also, seems I need to Force Stop the Media player everytime after boot.. That drains the battery massively. I can feel the phone getting hot with it running.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] voiconbt:
Four hours no memory leak :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Kockbag:
Awesome!

Nice 1. Tks for the effort.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] freicher:
Bricked ?!?

Hi, I installed your "Unofficial" version, and get my phone bricked. Did someone had the same effect?

Came from Nightly 09/25.

fred
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] toxicthunder:
No way you could've bricked ....what's the issue?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] AA1973:
No, not at all. Installed it last night, no issues at all. Contrary-it is running smoothly.

How did you install it?

MD5 checked or the integrity of the zip?

Do you get in download mode or anything else?

Please provide us with some details in order to get proper help. Thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mblnx:
Had that at least 6 times, including cm9. The worst was right after a flash when I changed the alarm to rooster... =P
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:
Tonight I'm going to try to make flashable zips that swap out the hwc library so people can more easily test between the two - BTW, the patch I listed above isn't enough on its own, you need to add hwcomposer.exynos4 to PRODUCT_PACKAGES somewhere and remove it from the blobs.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] freicher:
Hi,

Installed with CWM, after cache wipe and dalvik cache wipe.

recovery tells "E: failed to open last_install: I/O error" before starting to install, then install until finished.

By rebooting, I just have a black screen.

I must admit I didn't check the MD5...

Can I access my ext SD card from my computer while in the recovery mode?

that could let me copy another ROM on it.

Thanks for your help
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:
Don't like Google Now and what it does to your battery? Disable it then.

Even with it, my device lasts a HELL of a lot longer than 5-6 hours with a normal battery though.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] chasmodo:
1. power off your phone

2. take your SD card out

3. slot it into a card reader

4. connect the reader to your PC

5. copy whatever you want

6. put the SD card back into the phone

7. boot into recovery and flash
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] StNickZA:
You could also use "adb push" to push a ROM to your device.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] freicher:
finally OK

Hi,

thanks for you trying to help me.

I did a new cache and Dalvik cache wipe, re-installed "your" ROM, and now it works...

Thanks,

Fred
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:
ADB for the win

ANYONE who is dicking around with flashing things to their phone should know how to use ADB.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] StNickZA:
I've been punting CM9/10 to a few mates that are also on Vodacom here in SA, and they have reported the same issue (cannot send SMS). Strange that it works fine on the other networks (I'm on MTN).

I had assumed until now that the SMSC code is lost upon reboot, but from what you've said, that obviously isn't the case.

Not really a "perma-fix", but one of the aforementioned friends of mine switched to GO SMS Pro, which lets you set the SMSC code internally and bypasses the system setting (and retains it indefinitely). Give it a try; at the very least it should tide you over until someone can figure out why the system setting gets lost.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mblnx:
Haven't got any nasty graphic bug so far, regular use, netflix/hulu lots of browsing and music. Thanks for putting this one up for test.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sorcio46:
Compared with StNick's build this seems more snappy and fluid, even if sometimes I see small visual artifacts (that last for some ms)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] voiconbt:
Hope today we have flashable zips of Entropy512 :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] glavos:
did anyone having problem with losing gsm network when trying to send sms, and line always busy when people try to call you. receiving sms and making calls are ok. i try everything, full wipe evrything even internal sd, changing modems, kernels nothing seams to help.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Kings Lee:
Thank you for your hard work! Seems that memory leak is solved with this build! Still experience data network disconnection though.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] viruz82:
Why are all CM10 builds so much louder than CM9 using headphones? That's the only reason for me to not use CM10. :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] i004909:
You're a scholar and a Saint, Tnx!!!. Never got further than Notification settings on Go SMS Pro, which I've used for yonks. doh.

The SMSC number for Vodacom South Africa that absolutely works for me is 059172281991110 for what it's worth. Have stored it in GO... Will see if restored after next flash.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rohitvats:
Chrome hangs sometimes

Has someone else faced an issue with chrome where it just hangs, usually when inputting values in a form field?

The exception thrown is ANRKeyDispatchingTimeout

I am on the 27th sept nightly.

Not sure if this is a ROM issue, next time it happens I'll try and grab some logs..

Edit: pastebin[.]com/1F7UBApc
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] androidindian:
would be cool if some more of us compared both entropy's build with open hwcomposer and sticknza's build

here are the links:

1) entropy's build: http://d-h.st/JK7

2) sticknza's build: http://stnick.stnick.co.za/cm-10-20120927-UNOFFICIAL-n7000.zip

Would be cool to have comparison reviews on both .. as entropy would like more feedback on both. mem leak is fixed on both though.. i guess its just the differences in hwcomposer.

Thanks a lot!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mb0108:
Have tested both for half an hour. Performance is very cool. It's hard to find a difference. Transitions seem to be smoother with Entropy build. Gallery scrolling seems to be a little faster with Stnicks build.

But with both builds no need to flash Hydracore anymore for me.

Tests are done with 213 dpi mode ;)

Update: Had Entropy s build as daily driver yesterday. Today I will use Stnicks build.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nadavfeder:
hi guys! Ok i'm now with E's unofficial nightly and it runs pretty smooth...no mem leaks at all for now (very stable). Could be just a bit laggy at times (transitions ans so) but it feels like the best canidate for the daily u r all must be looking for.

I'll go with this one till tommrow and then switch to stnick's and report.

Btw, been using hydra right up until now - now i'm trying these ones without (can i even flash hydra on it or will it cause me some troubles?)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] StNickZA:
I've been using Entropys build for about 6 hours now. I cannot categorically say whether it is any different to the build I put out. So far I've had no problems at all and the phone has remained responsive. UI is smooth and a pleasure to use, as was the case with the precompiled binary build.

The only visual artifacts I've seen were in Maps, but I've seen the same thing with other builds so I have no reason to think it's related to the open source hwcomposer.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] fordream:
I'm waiting for the new version preview 6
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] chasmodo:
I've been running your build since you posted it yesterday, and it's very fast and smooth. No graphical glitches or any other bad side effects at all.

Stock kernel, 1.2 Ghz max, ondemand/noop.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LordManhattan:
Yup, i've used StNickZA's build since it got uploaded two days ago, and it's working just fine. No memory leaks as confirmed earlier, and it's overall smooth.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Beretta93:
Can you comment battery life, compared to stock ICS builds and ICS aosp builds ?

Thanks guys.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] trell959:
There's no more previews. Flash a nightly.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rohitvats:
nightlies

Official nightlies are available for our device, so there won't be any more preview builds.

You can get the latest build from here:

get[.]cm/?device=n7000
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] andreww88:
I was running that one and it was very good and smooth, no memory leak seen. I'm running 9/29 nightly now. Still smooth. I feel like battery life went down though.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] fordream:
Ok thx :laugh:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] androidindian:
entropy's open source hwcomposer build seems slightly more snappier than sticknza's .. but its marginally close.

anyone else tried entropy's build with open source hwcomposer.. compared to sticks one.. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nadavfeder:
Did anyone tried it qith hydra? Cause right now, with the stock kernel it's much more stable but a bit laggeir than it was with other nightlies and hydra combined.

Anyone?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rohitvats:
I've tried both builds and both feel smooth and fast.

Its difficult to judge which one is smoother, but Entropy's one feels slightly better..

Overall, the smoothness is comparable to nexus 7 running pure Google jellybean..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] androidindian:
most of the patches in these builds are kernel related, hence trying hydra with these builds wont work well.

the kernel which comes with these builds are amazing and smooth. Entropy's build is freakin smooth!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nadavfeder:
Haaa! This is what i like about xda.. thank u for the quick and full answer man!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] parthpatels007:
Yup entropy's built is just a bit smoother.not sure if its more battery consuming.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:
"won't work well" is an understatement. "won't boot at all" is more like it. Mali r3p0 blobs require an r3p0 kernel

I'm 90% positive at this point hydra was sacrificing battery for performance... Only way it was smooth prior to the mali transition was if you threw lots of CPU at it. Now it offloads more to the GPU.

Attached are both blob and opensource hwcomposers. Please compare, looking at both performance and whether the OS one fixes/adds any graphical glitches.

Blob hwcomposer will work with any build (but makes zero difference if flashed on a nightly, nightlies use the same file)

Opensource will ONLY work with "new Mali" test builds like my test build and StNick's for N7000, mine for I777, and espenfjo's for I9100.

These should work with any "new Mali" builds for Exynos 4210 devices.

This file is really the only difference between my build and StNick's, other than:

http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/c/23993/ (Yeah, forgot to mention it has some test fixes for the rare RILJ wakelocks sometimes encountered)

Edit: More test candidates including "no hwcomposer" at http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=32212994&postcount=818
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jivagorodrigues:
Memory Leak its fixed?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:
not in nightlies, but in test builds. Patch isn't complete, needs to be fixed on Tab 7 Plus and Tab 7.7
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] blaze2k:
Yes it's fixed, finally a daily usable firmware no resets required. Many thanks to all the devs
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] NaveenKD:
Hi Entropy,

Can we flash this open source HWC zip on any other Roms such as Asylum or PA?

Edit:

Read your msg again. We can flash this only on your test build released yesterday.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Utacka:
It will work on my beta PA build which is using r3p0 driver.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] NaveenKD:
Yeah thanks Utacka...I have just now downloaded your today's beta and will try flashing both your ROM and this zip.

HEAVY RAM usage

I realized the 4.1 is eating up my ram, (~100MB left for me)

what's going on? AutoKiller Memory showed all the processes opened up twice, what's going on?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] plsoft:
A few people have encountered the same issue and it has to do with mediascanner running in the background. Read the development section for the technical details.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] majormickey:
The only issue for me so far is that I cant connect to my office Mac. Tried mtp, aft, etc and nothing works. Dropbox media upload recognised the note but no drive appear on my desktop. Other than that, this is good enough for a daily for me :good:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hplolman:
Have you tried searching "MTP mac" ? You should find a google "filetransfert"
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:
Yeah. Also with preview 2, the risk on initial flash is reduced, but still - best to start from a safe kernel. There are PLENTY of safe ICS kernels now - basically anything but CF-Root. (CF-Root can never be 100% safe due to the fact that it's a stock binary repack.)

Barely alpha. Tons and tons of things are broken. mediascanner, audio HAL, wifi tethering (WPA2 derps hard, open works OK), and a whole ton of other things. Busy as hell.

Also, mediascanner eats CPU and not memory - in fact it eats CPU due to patches intended to make it use less memory. However, JB on many devices is leaking memory like crazy.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mauaus:
Does Autokiller actually help though? im starting to try it out on strict settings, but i have never used it before...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] plsoft:
Sorry cant help u there, was just passing on the word based on what i've read.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Livebyte:
I remember that SGS2 has this functionality in some kernels where if you press the home button 5 times quickly, the screen switched to Negative Mode.

I think it should be implemented on the Note too, but instead of Negative Mode, maybe Outdoor Mode?

Do you guys think its a good idea? :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] pboesboes:
Crazy overloading of home-button functions? Sounds like something Apple would do. :p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] muneeb.abbas3:
Entropy512, or anyone who has proper knowledge if you may elaborate a little on why these builds won't be as smooth as jelly bean should (yet, I hope), whenever you have time. Otherwise just ignore the post and move on :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
Its been explained from get go, or post in the discussion section
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ruinkhan:
OP started this thread to keep Dev section out of foolish questions. Wasnt it you that opened this thread:

Sick of several things on XDA

******ing hypocrite.!!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] muneeb.abbas3:
This is the discussion section man.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] stoney73:
Then perhaps read a bit first, and then discuss?

But to answer your question( at least partially), there are a couple of the 'project butter' components that are broken or not 100% at the moment. Hwcomposer is one such element that springs to mind that is currently being worked on by the cm team., amongst many others.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
Your right sorry. I think I read it ill be fixed soon, xplod and entropy are awesome!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] g2tegg:
Was that really necessary? Everyone gets so bent out of shape if someone posts the wrong thing. Keyboard warriors at its finest. Who cares??? I hate seeing is foul language on a public forums where the majority of users are under the legal drinking age.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] andjohn:
People care because there are a MILLION morons who add nothing to the site. Just 'how do I flash?' 'What do I have to do?' 'I bricked my phone by not listening!'

It's crap like that which makes DEVELOPERS stop coming to XDA. We do not want this, as it's in their spare time that they work on this for us. We should have a more restricted place that the devs can go to where only people who are proven to not be idiots are allowed to post.

---------- Post added at 05:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:08 PM ----------

We get pissed off and use foul language because the idiots keep coming. Every page is forgotten by morons when a new page is added. Most of the answers are available only a couple pages from the end and they can't even take that much effort.

Swares will continue to happen as long as stupid idiots are allowed to post.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] stumo5:
This ROM is bloody good for a preview. I think I will use it as a daily driver its that good. One thing is that the screen rotation in landscape mode is inverted, is it just me or is it a known issue?

Edit OK I found the issue in the development thread, looks like it can be fixed with a patch or a simple workaround. Cool.

Latest nightly is great and no mem leak. BTW I flashed this open source files on the latest nightly and it had some shuttering issues so I re flashed nightly from 29. From this build I could say in my opinion is usable as daily driver no restarts required.

No mate..entropy released a test build with mem leak fix and open source hwcomposer ..if you see the posts in the last few pages ..cheers
