So happ to be using this. Couple notes after a reboot the dark theme in SMS app seems to be sticking now.also I flashed successfully the first time by first installing the latest TWRP like some one mentioned in here. I believe the build number is 2.3.3.2

Question how can I add the software key?

Thanks, while that's nice that you can now see the widget, it also kinda sucks to throw another required swipe movement into unlocking the phone... Hmm...

Ive flashed back and forth from stock to latest nightly cm10 build and there is definately a difference in speaker volume, ringtones are bearly even heard with all volumes turned all the way up in cm 10.

Just downloaded the latest build 7/11 lets see if they fixed the whole audio bug ..

Same problem no fix on new build
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] PhilipTD:
Thanks for reporting back. Bummer.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Beast84:
So I read a few posts back about exFAT support, that means I can use my sdcard without having to reformat to fat32 anymore? I bought a new card so I wanted to check before I popped it in
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] codeworkx:
popping it in is much more effective than writing a post and waiting for an answer.

no, it will not explode.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] farfromovin:
Not sure if its all the RIL work that has gone on lately but instead of a garbage DCHSPA signal I'm getting legit 4G, it's very nice!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] PhilipTD:
What mean you by "legit"?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] siraltus:
07/12 - something's borked in the new SMS middleware.

When sending texts, the SMS app shows "sending" and eventually errors out with "message not sent" as if there was no cellular signal even though the text actually gets sent just fine.

Reverting to 07/11 for now as this is supremely frustrating.

Edit: I see a commit for an "SMS Broadcast Result Receiver fix" - hopefully that restores normal operation in tomorrow's nightly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] farfromovin:
Sorry, slang... I meant I'm getting 25-35mbps LTE instead of 100kbps DCHSPA.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] PhilipTD:
I knew what you meant, I just wanted to know what speed you're so psyched about. Which, from what you said, is pretty darn good. I'm still getting spotty coverage, here and there around the city, between 2-4 Mbps. They're still rooooollllllling it out, I guess.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] siraltus:
New weird issue... since the FUSE exFAT support was introduced, the /extSdCard mountpoint randomly disappears. /storage/sdcard1 and /mnt/sdcard1 are still around, but I'l randomly start Camera and get "Insert an SD Card before launching Camera" and when I try to navigate to /extSdCard via a file explorer, it's listed but when I tap it, I get "/extSdCard not found."

I can navigate to /storage/sdcard1 and access my files on the external SD card just fine. Same with /mnt/sdcard1. The only way to restore /extSdCard is to reboot.

Anyone else experiencing this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] codeworkx:
the official mountpoint is /storage/sdcard1

/extsdcard is just a symlink. we should remove it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] siraltus:
Then you should change the Camera app to use /storage/sdcard1 and not /extSdCard when it's set to store pictures on the external SD card, since it errors out when /extSdCard disappears. That's how I found this bug - I would randomly open Camera to take a picture and it would complain there's no SD card inserted until I rebooted.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] codeworkx:
it doesn't. android framework isn't aware of this symlink.

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...ks/base/core/res/res/xml/storage_list.xml#L42
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] siraltus:
Then is something weird going on with the SD card then? I was using the exFAT mod from this thread for two months and never had this issue. It only started once I stopped using the mod when CM merged FUSE exFAT support.

EDIT: Running chkdsk on the card on a computer right after it disappears on the phone results in "Corruption was found while examining the volume bitmap."
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] codeworkx:
something left over from your mod which ****s with cm's implementation?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] siraltus:
Not possible, wiped the phone clean a few nightlies ago.

EDIT: Reformatted the card and it stopped doing that for now. Will report if it reoccurs.

EDIT2: It's doing it again after only a day, and on a different card as well.

EDIT3 07/18: Got a brand new Samsung card, still doing it. At this point it has to be a software issue. Running chkdsk on the card on a computer right after it disappears on the phone results in "Corruption was found while examining the volume bitmap."
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] farfromovin:
Ah, I was wondering wny /extsdcard showed up on my freshly formatted device when I've never touched TW with it... I don't know the purpose behind having that link there, confusing if anything.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] siraltus:
My microSD card (64GB class 10 Sandisk) is randomly disappearing again after a day of use after being freshly formatted. Happens with a second card formatted to exFAT, too (16GB Class 10 Kingston).

I noticed when I first format it and transfer all my files to the card and run chkdsk, it only takes a few seconds. Once it starts randomly disappearing on my phone, running chkdsk on it on a computer takes MUCH longer (two minutes), even though no errors are found.

Occurs on the past couple of nightiles (07/13-07/17).

Just ordered a Samsung 64GB card, will have it tomorrow morning; will report if this happens on the brand new card.

Update 07/18: Got the Samsung card, and it's still doing it. Must be a bug in CM then. Running chkdsk on the card on a computer right after it disappears on the phone results in "Corruption was found while examining the volume bitmap."
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] farfromovin:
My Samsung 64gb card hasn't stumbled yet with exfat and the latest nightlies (knock on wood). I also have not used it outside of the phone though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Aria807:
My sensors don't work at all in a call and screen is black. I had to download some proximity sensor app and fake the sensor readings to get my phone to stay lit during a call.

My GF's Nexus 4 works perfect.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] siraltus:
Yeah, I just got my Samsung card and it's still randomly disappearing. It's not the card then, as it's doing it with three different cards now (Samsung, SanDisk, Kingston).

I did some more poking around and it looks like the card randomly doesn't get mounted on boot, it hapens every 3-4 reboots on average. When I look in /storage, there's no /storage/sdcard1 at all. When I go to Settings --> Storage, there's a blank space under SD card where the allocation bar would normally be, and the Total space says 0.00. When I then hit "Unmount SD card," wait for it to unmount, and then hit "Mount SD Card" it then mounts fine and it all works fine again.

Also, I noticed that running chkdsk on the card on a computer right after it disappears on the phone results in "Corruption was found while examining the volume bitmap."

My last suspect is FolderMount, I just disabled it and I can't get the card to disappear on boot again after rebooting 15 times in a row. I'll post in the FolderMount thread and see if madmack (the dev) can find something in FolderMount that might be causing this, as FolderMount does tinker with external SD card permissions and such.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] xak944:
You think it might be a hardware problem with your sdcard slot? I've had other phones that were really finicky with getting a card seated just right.

It's definitely not this ROM as many people are running it without issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] siraltus:
Nah, I'm sure my hardware is fine, otherwise the card would disappear whenever the phone was bumped or jostled.

The fact that nobody else reported this issue made me think it's a software problem, and I'm pretty sure it's FolderMount. I just disabled its "run on boot" feature and I can't get the card to disappear on reboots anymore.

Since it began right after CM added native exFAT support and that's also when madmack updated FolderMount to work with it, I'm suspecting his update is conflicting with something in CM. I'll stop using it for now and see if the problem reoccurs.

EDIT: Madmack confirmed he has encountered this issue, so it is FolderMount's fault, not Cyanogen's.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] codeworkx:
FolderMount sounds like a terrible idea if i think about stuff like androids mediascanner and so on.

it's a dirty hack. bad side effects are expected.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] siraltus:
Yeah, but I wish games supported installing on the external SD card. Bard's Tale does on some devices but not on the Note 2, unfortunately.

Madmack confirmed he has experienced the fail-to-mount issue, so it is now clear it's FolderMount doing it, not Cyanogen.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] klutch:
yea i thought my sisters phone was the only one she been telling me the same thing by the way has anyone tried putting this phone 4G LTE running ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] PhilipTD:
Sure, but it's still rolling out in NYC, so coverage is spotty, and, even in supposedly fully lit areas, it's slow. There's a thread where everybody obsesses over it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] siraltus:
I'm getting strong LTE signal in almost all of Queens (Ridgewood, Bayside, Forest Hills, Middle Village, Kew Gardens, Maspeth), Brooklyn (Williamsburg, Crown Heights, Fort Greene, Park Slope, Bushwick), and Manhattan (Grand Central area, all of West Village, East Village, LES, Financial District) with speeds averaging 15-20Mbps both up and down in Manhattan and 20-25Mbps in Queens and Brooklyn.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] PhilipTD:
I live in the East Village and, as you can see from the screenshots, that's not been the case with me. Maybe I have the wrong radio.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] siraltus:
A densely occupied area will have much less bandwidth available per handset, especially during peak hours, than sparser areas such as Brooklyn and Queens. Could also be they haven't fully upgraded the trunk line feeding your particular tower yet. But overall, I've seen excellent speeds in most parts of New York City.

Also, LTE has much worse indoors penetration on the 1.7GHz band than AWS band LTE (700MHz). My house is oriented in relation to the tower so bad that I get absolute crap LTE signal regardless of carrier and I fall back to full bars EDGE while indoors. As soon as I walk outside, or even stick the phone out the window, I have full bars LTE.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] PhilipTD:
That all makes sense, thanks for explaining it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] klutch:
yea but i have a Nexus 4 and ita running LTE as we speak perfectly datz why i was asking how to try the note 2

http://db.tt/Is4jCkFZ
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] siraltus:
That's good to know. Are you running Cyanogen or stock ROM?

Doing what wrong? When I install it from the Play Store and launch it, it only gives me the "Storage" button for install location, I don't get the "Expansion" button. I don't see what I could be possibly "doing wrong" that would make the game not detect the external SD card. Neither clearing app data or uninstalling and reinstalling the game helps. I contacted Inxile Support to see if they can help.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] siraltus:
If you go to Settings --> Advanced --> Audio ---> In-call Volumes / Streaming Volumes, and reset to default, you will actually restore all the audio to full volume. Setting those sliders to anything else results in whisper-quiet audio. The sliders are definitely broken so don't touch them.

Issues with Bluetooth

The only thing keeping me from using this as my daily driver, is the lack of use of Bluetooth. I only use it with the sixaxis app to pair my ps3 controller to my device. Works on stock fine but on CM its not connecting. Says Bluetooth driver issue. If I use the OTG cable it works fine. Its specific to the Bluetooth driver. Is the Bluetooth driver in CM moved to kernel? I'm trying to find a way around swapping back n forth from crappy TW to CM.

Any thoughts? Once again, it works with the cable, doesn't with Bluetooth.

Hey folks, do any of you gave experience using this / installing this ROM with TWRP? I've read up on some other devices and in order to use CM with their phone, they had to change their boot loader. Would I encounter any issues installing this with TWRP? Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] PhilipTD:
I always followed the instructions in the first post of this thread, which say to use CWM for initial installation. I have since switched to TWRP for rom management, but only for updating with nightlies. If I were to install clean over a different rom, I would use CWM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] cajunflavoredbob:
CM/AOKP ROMs are not stock for the Note 2. Look for Touchwiz ROMs if you want a stock-like experience. Most of the custom Touchwiz ROMs have WiFi tethering built in without going through T-Mobile.

TWRP and CWM are both based on the stock AOSP recovery. CWM is built to be very close to the stock recovery, while TWRP is meant to be built for its features. Personally, I always use TWRP. There is no harm in flashing a ROM from either recovery, no matter if it's a clean flash or not.

Gapps Update

Just curious if we should just "ignore" Goo.im's notifications, when new Gapps is released.

running CM 10.1 nightly, 20130814:

I just flashed the Gapps dated 20130812, my PlayStore and several other apps disappered.

tried to flash Gapps from 20130721, to fix - but am now hanging at boot logo...

DISREGARD...

Perhaps Goo.im updater applied the new Gapps for 4.3, before I got to apply the CM 10.2 update

I clean loaded 10.2 and the Gapps for it.

All is good now, except no microphone in apps (only phone).

I just recently installed this and I I have noticed battery life draining a little faster than on stock touchwiz. I am currently sitting on 80% (fully 100% when unplugged from AC) with 53 min on screen time with total 1hr 27min battery time. Is this the norm? Are there any tweaks I need to do to improve. I have currently only been on mobile data, and on the latest 10.1 from 8/13. I want to try the 10.2 build with 4.3 but would like to hear some feedback if it works well as a daily driver. Also if someone can point me in the right direction for the Netflix fix I would greatly appreciate it. I did find a thread but wanted to verify if that still works considering it has not been updated for a while. Last would be is there a way for the display to be on for more than 10 min. One More Thing.... AWESOME ROM!!!! I am a huge fan of stock android and the only reason I got the NOTE 2 was for the big screen, and battery and most importanly to throw CM on it because I am not a fan of Touchwiz and bloatware.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] apicia:

Yeah right now I'm at 39% with 3hr 12 min on screen time and 6 hr 30 min overall and on mobile data. I would normally get around 6hr almost 7 on screen time until my battery was at 20% I'm hoping 10.2 is a lot better since android 4.3 reports much better battery life.

Smartphonedude,

I have been running cm 10.2 since last night. No major issues. The Focal camera is a but buggy (a few crashes and the FFC is upside down). The regular camera seems to work fine. The built in super user is a little buggy, I had to install chain fires super su.

There is an xposed module to fix the Netflix issue. Getting xposed installed was a but of a pain. You have to put the apk in /system/app, set permissions to 644 ( I think), then install the framework. Otherwise you get errors.
