Ok, a question for Rick, or anyone that can answer it. What happened to the soft key bar (you know, tablet style back/home/tab keys that you can enable via build.prop with qemu.hw.mainkeys=0) putting apps into tablet mode? I don't have the triple dot options menu in Play Store, GMail, etc. I did a fresh install, wiped everything, things are working well; but now I have to use my menu/options physical key on the phone itself, which I prefer not to use.

I've added the qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 line to build.prop and rebooted, and I still have the soft key bar on the bottom no matter what, but I can't get apps to go into the phablet mode. I see now that the 600p option in Paranoid's settings is gone for a variety of apps, and replaced with a 540p option; is this the cause? Is there any way around whatever's causing apps to not be in tablet/phablet mode?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AMSPOWER:
I had a random reboot about 30min ago but I've been off the charger since 8:50am, horrible cell service at work but I have WiFi. Using Neak kernel

Here's my battery life so far, with horrible cell reception. Should say 6hours + Idk if the reboot changed my battery time off charger. What kind of battery life are you guys seeing?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DJ1994:
I have been having poor battery mostly from system issues is this known?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] slick_rick:
In toolbar settings, go to hardware keys and enable the show menu overflow option. For your layout issues, I'm not seeing that either and have normal 360, 600, and 720 options. I'll take a look at what might have caused all these issues in a bit.

My battery life is pretty good for my use. An occasional text, hangout message, phone call, some music on break, etc. This is on wifi all day, 50% brightness and stock CM kernel that comes with the build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DJ1994:
Okay so those processes aren't worry some? I am not getting the same battery life as on beans rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AMSPOWER:
I imagine my little battery drain is from having little to no cell service at my job cause I don't have this issue at all when I'm home with 1-2 bars at work I have 0 bars lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AMSPOWER:
The second picture shows the random reboot and the nose dive it took lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AMSPOWER:
Here's my usage from today, reception has been exceptionally poor at home where I used to get at least 2 bars. At work I get zero which is what I'm used to because of the building.

I've noticed since using AOSP roms that I get some what poor signal where I used to get 3-4 bars. My girlfriends S4 has 2 bars here at home and I have 0 lol

I'm loving this rom so much, I've made it my DD until 4.3.

I'm using neak Kernel, might try a different kernel and see how it goes. But its best to use a kernel for a few charge cycles before really making a decision on one I'd imagine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] laxattack:
Anyone know how to fix GPS. I tried the n7105 fix and loaded a tw ROM then loaded back to pa. None of these things fixed it :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] KGBxxx:
Where do I find the neak kernel compatible with Verizon?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AMSPOWER:
I quoted your post in the Neak thread and linked you to them, check over there. :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] guthrien:
I'm getting the worst signal I've ever gotten on an aosp ROM unfortunately. Doesn't look like the new build has much for that. Was running plasma kernel for camera fixes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] KGBxxx:
Got it thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallingd0wn:
Rick,

I'm already doing CM and Rootbox but I'd also like to do my own PA builds. I tried syncing with the legacy branch. When I do a lunch on i605, it ends up stalling out while downloading the device support. I believe this is due to AOSPA-t0ltecdma being referenced in i605.properties. That git account doesn't exist. Is there something I'm missing here?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Roland Deschain:
Excellent, I didn't realize there was an option for this now. Thanks. As soon as I enabled it, I rebooted just to make sure it was permanently set, and got stuck while booting, lol. Several attempts and cleared cache/dalvik cache later, still stuck on booting, ended up restoring the backup I had made from the previous day and set things up again. :( Now it seems fine, though. In regards to the 540p thing, it's definitely weird. Some apps have 600p, some have 540p; and Contacts has a 580p option available. o.O Here's an example of the Play Store's 540p:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WhiteEVO:
What is the theme used in the pic at the beginning of the post?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] slick_rick:
I'll take a look when I get home.

Switching that option on shouldn't cause a bootloop. Not sure. The Play Store pic, that's normal. Some apps just have different layouts. Nothing PA can do, that's the app developers.

Goolors icon pack. Comes with that wallpaper I believe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Roland Deschain:
Ah; interesting. It had a 600p option on the build before last, and now it's 540p, so I was just wondering; not that it matters. At the time, I was just trying to figure out why turning on the soft key bar didn't give me the triple-dot menu on all the apps like it had previously. Thanks for the help, broski; and keep doing the Lord's work with this ROM. ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AMSPOWER:
Is this normal? I started using plasma with recommended stweaks settings. Got to 100% charge and android os has been at the top this whole time. Never was, I'm just wondering if any one knows what I can do to stop unnecessary battery drain.

Don't mean to clog up this thread, this will be the last time I post about battery life in here. I love this rom just trying to get somewhat good battery life and good performance.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] THEbigSWEEN:
I hadn't checked recently about it, but that was the main thing keeping me from consistently using AOSP roms. It seemed like Android OS would be using the CPU and keeping it awake about 1/3 of the time. When I would check better battery stats it would show fast_dormancy and mdm_hsic_pm0 as the main wakelocks. I would get about the same battery life I had with my Nexus, but I still eventually come back to get my PA fix :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AMSPOWER:
I think I'm good, satisfied with how it's sipping battery now even in low signal areas.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] z4fir:
Ok I have a problem. I had to flash the Plasma Kernel because all the other methods to get the camera to work didn't solve the problem. I didn't want to flash Plasma because before I did on the last build, and it fixed the camera but the music quality when I have in headphones in is terrible.

Is there a download for the Kernel that comes with the ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Roland Deschain:
Wiz, I don't know if this is what's causing your issue or not, but I noticed the sound tab in STweaks with this version has the volume levels all cranked up well above defaults, causing excessive loudness and distortion. Might want to lower them and see if that helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Instien:
Also having an issue with sound, but only the in-call volume. It is so quiet I can barely hear the phone calls. Anyone able to help me out with this issue??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AMSPOWER:
What kernel are you using? And have you changed any settings in Settings>Advanced>Audio?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] z4fir:
Thank you, I didn't have STweaks when you mentioned it, so I looked it up and it improved the sound quality much more than I was use to before.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallingd0wn:
So I figured out the problem. The i605.proprietaries file in vendor/pa/vendorprops kept adding a line to my local manifest pointing to the AOSPA-t0ltecdma git which doesn't exist. I deleted the proprietaries file and also removed the i605.adds and i605.removes files in vendor/pa/manifest as they didn't appear to be needed any longer. After that, I got a clean repo sync. Running my own 3.69 build now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xsleazoidx:
Camera seems to freeze up every time I use it. Not so much back camera,only when I'm using flash or timer,but ffc crashes every time,requiring me to have to restart my phone. I have looked in past posts but have been unable to obtain any information in regards to a fix for this. Has anyone had a similar experience as me? I would love to get this problem fixed. Other than that this is my daily driver :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] z4fir:
This the second time I have got a brick from using this rom in two weeks. The first time I simply had it connected to the computer through USB, simply adding picture to SD card. Now I was in STweaks making slight audio tweaks and the phone freezes and now is stuck in a boot loop. I don't know what is going on but it needs to be fixed until then I'm done with this ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] blscallions:
4.3 PA

Hey are you gonna release 4.3 PA build that is being merged today or is that not going to be possible until this phone gets an official 4.3 build?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] PapaJohnMc:
Your patience lacks patience. lol...

Mine is faltering somewhat as well. Can't wait to see the 4.3 goodness... :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] slick_rick:
Don't expect a 4.3 build for a while. Even CM is unusable right now from what sbrissen told me and PA source is not ready either.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallingd0wn:
Yeah, I downloaded the CM 10.2 source today after I saw their post on G+ but it won't compile yet for this device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
I have had a few soft bricks on the recent VRB releases, 6-28 forward. The first and last time it happened it was because I let the battery die, I have 2 others and just let them run dry and switch em, and when I booted back up it was bootlooping. That's happened twice and the other times it was like yours, I was just doing something and it immediately froze and rebooted and started bootlooping.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Roland Deschain:
Two days after switching to 3.68, I started getting "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped." out of nowhere, (as in, I'd turn the screen on to use the phone and it was already there) and fixing permissions/wiping cache and dalvik cache didn't fix it, tried like seven reboots, and then wiped everything and installed the ROM from scratch and it was fine. Now, 3 days after that, the same thing just started happening an hour ago. Nothing seems to be able to fix it. UGH! I can't use this ROM if this problem keeps coming up, it literally prevents me from doing anything. I hit Ok, and it comes up a 3rd of a second later, blocking me from being able to do anything, and the notification bar and soft key bar disappear. Any suggestions on fixing this? I'll have to go back to pre-3.65 if not... :(

I need a stable phone for Seahawks training camp tomorrow morning.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fiktion:
Um... This has absolutely nothing to do with this thread what-so-ever, but, I love your username, I've read all 8 books, twice! But, sorry, go Texans!

Any who, love this ROM, first time I've ventured outside of TW based ROMs, and the only issue I have with it is the super quiet sound which I will soon fix.

Fixed the sound issue with Plasma Kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Roland Deschain:
Haha, awesome. Hile, gunslinger; long days and pleasant nights! (The Dark Tower is the real best fantasy/mix book series of all time, none of that Lord of the Rings garbage.)

You guys are going down when we visit your house this year, though. I'm kind of annoyed that we have FIVE 10am road games this year, those can be a pain in the ass. Russell Wilson's the real deal, however.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fiktion:
Thankee Sai! I agree. Surprised me every step of the way with blending so many of his other works into the series.

It is ka (you like that?) that the Texans will whoop up on your boys. Russell Wilson might be the real deal, but not when you have a monster like JJ Watt stopping him every step of the way. Schaub is pathetic, though. Dunno what Kubiak sees in that overpaid monkey.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] redsox 98:
OK so I dl'd and camera failed. Is camera no worky?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] broprah:
That depends, did you read the OP?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] slick_rick:
Read all of OP

Edit: Beat me to it lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Roland Deschain:
Schaub's the main reason I'm not worried. With the Legion of Boom not giving him an inch, I'm not concerned about him pulling a Tom Brady day on us. :)

Watt, however, is one of the top 5 most elite players in the entire league. At any position. I hope he comes back down to Earth a bit this year, haha. I'll be curious to see how well he pursues Wilson, since Wilson has such epic scrambling ability.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
I'm sorry but I've searched and found that some people are saying that it doesn't work and loses NFC so before I do, anyone know how to get wallet working on this rom?

And one last thing I downloaded and installed Pearsus kernel along with s tweaks and my volume on speaker is fine but my volume in call speaker and earpiece are way too low. When going to advance settings the incall is greyed out. How can I boost volume in call?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] justinglock40:
Is there anyway to get only android 4.3's AVCRP for Bluetooth?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
Wallet works fine as well as NFC.

Flash Plasma kernel and install STweaks from the market and look at the main Plasma thread for the post I added about tweaking the volumes, it should only be a few pages back from the last.

Next time back up your current ROM and test this one out for yourself.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
I'm sorry, I meant plasma kernel. I had flashed that when I flashed the ROM. I have S Tweaks and followed all the instructions and again, my speaker for media and ringtones and such is amazing! But in call everything is so low that holding the speaker to my ear just barely sounds like I'm using the phone normally, and normal earpiece is almost muted.

And when you say wallet works, what did you use to get it to work? Mine just says that my mobile network does not support it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mcaanda:
Had the 3G blues - this solved the issue for me. Thank you very much, I had no idea about this code.

And my old man always said the inter-webz were only good for staring at jumblies.

Well, it is good for that too...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Roland Deschain:
This is driving me nuts. For the 4th time now, 3.68 has started spamming "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped" and the phone is unusable. I skipped 3.67, but this never happened once on 3.65 or earlier. Rick, or anyone else; any suggestions? I'm going to have to stay on 3.65 or earlier until this is sorted out, but I seem to be the only person getting it. This time, as usual I did a fresh install from scratch but I didn't even restore a single thing outside of text messages. No Titanium Backup apps restored, etc; nothing.

This is killing me. I can't have a phone that randomly completely quits working on me within a couple days. :(

It boggles my mind that nobody else has reported having this happen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Roland Deschain:
Another thought on my System UI crashing problem; is it possible there's a file leftover from previous builds, or a previous ROM, causing an issue? I manually clear cache and dalvik cache 3x each and same with wipe device in TWRP, 3x there. I know it doesn't actually wipe everything because the internal sdcard folder remains untouched, for starters. Is there something I should manually delete/clear that could be causing the problem? I've had probably 6 completely different ROMs on this phone since I bought it, but I'm adamant about doing the recommended full wipes every time I install one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Tophaholic:
This has to be the best ROM ever for the Note2. Its as if the Note2 is built for this ROM or vice versa.

Thank you Dev @ slick_rick for creating such a great ROM.

I had the camera issue...but fixed it using the script method in OP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
You can try the right hand tab in TWRPs Wipe Menu, It may just be called Format data buy I can't remember at the moment, and it'll tell you to type yes to wipe. That gets rid of the crap on the internal SD for me, just make sure everything's backed up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] speedfreak228:
any plans on updating this to 4.3? what kernel is everyone using for best results
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] slick_rick:
No plans for 4.3... :til we have the legacy branches set up to build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xterra91:
I installed 7105 on i605 pa 3.90 it runs pretty smooth no data but WiFi works
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] slick_rick:
I know right, who actually needs to make calls and such anyways? :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] benwalburn:
Well if Verizon doesn't calm down on their bills...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BlueHarford:
is it PA overall that wont be supporting when then finish 4.3? or are you just not going to build it anymore?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
Going by his previous statement there will be 4.3 but they will have to get everything set up for it and fix everything so the multi-DPI works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] speedfreak228:
LTE isn't working for me. I tried the did posted a couple pages earlier. Any suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sub5runner07:
For me I had to dial *#*#4636#*#* and change to lte/CDMA auto.

Is that the fix you were talking about?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] speedfreak228:
Worked that time. Guess I wrote it down wrong last time. Stupid me:D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] benwalburn:
If you use nova, you can add a shortcut for it. It's really helpful
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] speedfreak228:
I use nova. I Didn't know that. How do I do that
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] donbudafuko:
Have you tried to flash radio after the ROM..what gapps did u use
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] benwalburn:
Add shortcut > activity > settings > Testing
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] speedfreak228:
I have looked in setting and might have missed it. Is there anyway to turn then touch keys off so they won't light up
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] benwalburn:
System settings > advanced > screen > uncheck backlight
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] slick_rick:
New 4.3 based build is up! Expect all the same bugs from sbrissens CM10.2 builds so keep that in mind. If you are currently on the latest 4.2 based build I had, it should prompt you for an update. Check OP for latest info. Enoy :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xterra91:
Slickrick on point as always great work man
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Tophaholic:
quick bug report - I did full wipe - factory + data format + system etc. and then installed the new 3.92 ROM. Installed perfectly - (some warning about contexts file missing or something). Booted up fine.

However I enabled the expert mode in hybrid settings and set global (workspace, taskbar, User, system apps) to 280 dpi. rebooted - but getting stuck at the galaxy Note 2 screen. Have to pull the battery.

Tried it thrice - with full wipes. same thing.

For now back to earlier version - but wanted to report this issue.

Thanks slick_rick for your hard work!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] slick_rick:
Did you reboot after initial setup and let it sit for at least 5-10ish minutes? (Yea it can take that long).

Anyone else have something to report?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tonipepperoni77:
Should we run the baked in kernel? Just wondering if there were any other kernels that support 4.3 right now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Tophaholic:
Wow - I was just not waiting long enough. re-tried - full wipe - then install. Booted up. re-booted after initial setup.

Took a good 20 mins!!!!! at the Samsung galaxy Note II screen. I was thinking will need to pull battery again. But waited patiently.

Thanks slick_rick!!.

Will report back here if I see any (real) issues :highfive:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] slick_rick:
Yea stick with stock for now I'd say.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ztotherad:
holy ****, we got some awesome 4.3 roms dropping!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Masciale:
"Couldn't capture screenshot storage may be in use" what?

Besides that its solid. Anyone know how to fix the screenshot issue?

Sent from my Nexus 10
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bambamishere:
Ext SD Card

All is great but ext sd card is not showing anything,have music,pics but nothing shows up?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ztotherad:
screenshot problems are on the new cm10.2 rom as well, so once it's fixed on cm10.2 it'll be fixed rom wide
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] zodduska:
I'm having some external SD card permission issues, Solid Explorer is requesting root to delete files.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] SwiftLegend:
We don't need to flash new radios/bootloaders do we?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] slick_rick:
It should be working fine. Having zero issues with root explorer. I'll look at what's happing though. In the meantime, you know what you're deleting from your own sdcard, root won't hurt for now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] idkwhothatis123:
Hell. Yes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ztotherad:
we don't have any new radios/bootloaders at this time, so no
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ncvikingx97:
Liking the update. The only issue I am having is that the launcher is somewhat glitchy/laggy. Other than that it is solid.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Currentweb:
Does anyone know why the theme engine is totally removed in Paranoid but not CM? Is it just a matter of time for Paranoid to add it back in?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] maverixz:
Slick, you are the man! You've done it again. I've been running this baby since 10am this morning and its been buttery smooth. :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] THEbigSWEEN:
AWESOME! Was wanting to try out some 4.3 goodness! I'll have to wait till tomorrow to try it out :crying: but lookin forward to it. Great job slick rick!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Roland Deschain:
Any chance some kind soul could take a quick look in the PA settings and verify whether System UI's default DPI is 225 or 240 for me?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrfuzzie23:
the OP says 3.93 but the zip on both sites say 3.92...

is 3.93 still in the works?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wtoj34:
Updated from beans build 20, and so glad I finally went to aosp. Loved all pa Roms on my gnex and this is no exception. 4.3 is so smooth and everything functions well enough for a daily driver. I hope 3.93 is up soon I'd love per app color settings. Overall, very solid build and I recommend this for a daily driver.

Great job.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] speedfreak228:
I'm running the latest build. How do I increase the speaker? Can barely hear ppl on speaker phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] FormeriPhoney:
Nice! I was thinking about the same for a change. How would you compare the two?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Lightyear25:
Does anyone know if TRIM is implemented in this ROM along side 4.3?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wtoj34:
Well they are very hard to compare. It all comes down to what you are used to. If you came from an s3 or s series, you'll love beans. I came from a gnex and touch wiz just didn't feel right. Beans has better battery life and better benchmark scores, but everything else I prefer in pa. The ui switcher is seamless and perfectly executed. The customization is great and the whole thing is just so buttery smooth. You do lose multi window but halo replaces the need for that. I think any tw lover should at least try this, imo touchwiz will never beat TRUE android. STOCK android.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] benwalburn:
In advanced settings, turn up speaker volume in the audio tab.
