[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
Hey sbrissen, there's a kernel over in the International Note 2's board that is using mali r3p1 and it's supposedly resolved most if not all of the artifacts. Any chance we could see an update to these drivers to improve upon some of the GPU related issues in CM10.1? It's one of the only things left that is keeping me back from running nightlies daily at the moment, otherwise it's 100% amazing. Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sbrissen:
Nightlies and my builds are using the r3p1 driver already
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
Oh :( guess the artifacts weren't resolved then. Still getting wierd corruption in the browser when zooming and scrolling, as well as the choppy scrolling in app lists.

I don't want to be offensive, not trying to question your awareness or anything, just posting this as I genuinely want to see CM10.1 become 100% and you're so close. Any chance r3p2 fixes any of that wierdness?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thepolishguy:
I am not making any promises here- but if r3p2 can't fix it - I am willing to bet r2d2 would give it a try.

Jk.

Does Hulu streaming work for anyone in CM10.1?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] anoninja118:
I don't think any video streaming works on AOSP i.e. Netflix, Hulu

Netflix works fine if you have the Xposed module enabled :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TechSavvy2:
Meh? Netflix works fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] strikeir13:
Yep, I saw that :)

Are you using the Xposed framework?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sbrissen:
Not sure if r3p2 will fix it, the problem we have is that we have to wait for a device with r3p2 so we can pull the matching proprietary libs that go along with the kernel drivers. I hear there is an even newer r3p1 driver though, that I will have to give a try.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TechSavvy2:
Yessir, I am. :)

It has been a long time since I used AOSP on the Note 2. Is anyone else getting inaccurate and exaggerated battery readings in the battery menu? Seems as if the statistics aren't accurate.

If you're talking about say, Screen On time and Awake, and what apps are draining battery, then yep. Count me in. Battery statistics are pretty messed up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kejar31:
yeah I went ahead and pulled the Mali and UMP drivers from the Note 8 source code that was released this week, which had updated r3p1 code. Still works with our current blobs too.. the commits can be found

If you want I can provide a boot.img and included modules or you can compile my kernel (inline with CM which it is based on) or you can simply commit those changes to your local repo. Let me know if you want the boot.img and modules

Edit... BTW I have noticed a marketable improvement in the fluidity and any artifacts seem to be cleared up after this commit.

Any word on this sbrissen? :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fluidj:
Can someone explain why on the wiki page it says: "The preferred method of installing a custom recovery is through this boot mode. Rooting the stock firmware is neither recommended nor necessary."

But every video instruction on the web states that you must be rooted and bootloader unlocked.

Is there anything I need to do on my end before starting in with the instructions to load up CM in the first post?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
You have to have an unlocked bootloader and custom recovery, period. If you aren't down with that then the best you can really do is stock, maybe rooted as well but no custom kernels and no OS changes until we get a leak.

So head over to the Bootloader unlock thread and start reading.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
You can try the night setting under scenes, but I don't think it's as effective as it was on TouchWiz.

What are you all doing to keep kernel from using so much battery? Any settings you recommend? It seems to be consuming more battery than my screen. Still good battery but I feel like it could even be better! Thanks

I saw that. Too bad since so much new stuff got merged. Pie, possible gps fix, the Mali drivers... I want it now! Lol

Yep they got merged. Right here:

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/q/status:merged,n,z

I've asked this question before and haven't had any luck. Since battery life has been so phenomenal, I've pretty much given up on custom kernels for us. Supposedly you can use i7105 (international LTE Note 2) kernels, though I haven't tried and there aren't many options.

FML......
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
I must be the only one happy about this. Pie controls don't belong in a pure AOSP experience like CyanogenMod. There are plenty of custom CM10.1 based ROM's that incorporate it and you can choose to use instead. Leave CM10.1 as barebones as possible, mod in the rest.

Also if you think about it Pie controls really don't make any sense on a phone with hardware buttons. You gain nothing, absolutely nothing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TechSavvy2:
This^^^^
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] strikeir13:
You bring up a good point about CM being an AOSP ROM (with a few tweaks ofc). For those of us who want pie, we can use third party options.

I do think that alternate means of navigation are valuable when you have a phone as large as the Note 2, though. I have reasonably large hands and navigating the phone one-handed is very difficult. Using pie (LMT) makes it much more manageable (and having an elastic strap running over the back of my case for me to hook my fingers through).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] budwizer:
I just jumped on trying out CM10.1 and I can confirm that I am also not able to connect to my 5GHz wireless. Enter the password for it and it saves however it never seems to attempt to connect. Just shows 'save, secured with WPA2' for the SSID.

My 2.4GHz connection to the router works just fine. I also tried changing the Wifi Frequency Band setting to 5G only without any luck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
Try setting your 5Ghz band to mixed A/N mode. It might help.

For me even on day 1 stock I could never connect to my 5Ghz band when it was set to N only. It can only connect at A speeds. Once I force N only, I get authentication errors out the wazoo. CM10.1 does the same thing you posted, not even an authentication error just no connection attempt at all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thejondude:
Some one posted this... Did you try it?

"I fixed my 5ghz wifi. My router was set to auto for the channel and by default it selected channel 149. This channel works with touchwiz roms for whatever reason. With cm10 I had to change the channel down to 36. Now it connects. I have it at channel 40 now with 40hz band and so far so good.

I've tried higher channels with cm10.1 and they do not work."

Anyone able to get a GPS lock on the latest nightly (3/27)? I can't. I get about a 30 meter accuracy and the GPS icon never stops flashing. Hopefully further work on this will improve it!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
I guess people just want "aftermarket", even if it's illogical :sly: never understood the nav bar fever when the n2 has physical buttons, more screen space because of that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TechSavvy2:
Yeah, my GPS locked pretty quick actually. Which was good cuz I had issues on 3/24.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kejar31:
yeah.. ever since the update to the GPS was applied I can get aGPS (which is what you have) but I can not get GPS to work. :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sbrissen:
I'm in the same boat, the opensource gps isn't working for me. I'll have to dig into it when I get out of the hospital with my new addition :)

Awesome man! I'm excited for you hahaha enjoy man and best wishes for the little ones health.

PS - the new mali drivers are almost perfect. Scrolling performance much improved, but still seeing wierdness when zooming in the browser :( getting so close though! Maybe when we get an official r3p2 leak we'll reach perfection.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kejar31:
That's strange... I don't see any weirdness.. Have you tried other browsers to see if this issue is an application issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
I think I figured out the problem. This is the only artifact I'm getting now on CM10.1, and you can see it by going to Youtube and picking a video and zooming in with pinch zoom. This is what it looks like:

Since the scroll lag I was getting before is all gone, along with some other launcher and lock screen bugs, I'm gonna chalk this one up to Flash being incompatible with 4.2.x. I don't see this wierd corruption on my 4.1 ROM's, only on CM10.1, but I'm guessing since all the other artifacts are resolved that this isn't a corruption from the drivers but from Flash buggyness.

If someone else could confirm that you see these artifacts on Youtube, with Flash player not installed, then we can see for sure whether it is that or not. I already wiped and returned to my TouchWiz ROM otherwise I would. The thought just came to me as I read your post lol

Update: I figured I'd save everyone the trouble and just test it myself and yep my suspicions were confirmed. The last remaining artifact I was seeing was a fault of Flash not being compatible with 4.2, and not the GPU drivers itself.

I went back to the exact same page that I took those screenshots on and this time I didn't have Flash player installed, bingo perfect rendering no artifacts. Well I guess this is a mixed feeling type of thing. I love knowing that CM10.1 is no longer experiencing artifacts compared to before, but also saddened to see an almost impossible to avoid killing of Flash player on Android :( sad face is sad.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lostnuke:
Congrats!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gr33nd3vil:
GPS is fixable you just have to revert to old gps drivers...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kejar31:
okay I fixed GPS on my phone... for others having issues try this.. download a stock ROM like Beans.. boot into recovery (backup) wipe data (factory reset) install said ROM.. boot up (no need to log in with your account) and open Maps.. wait to get a lock... Boot back into recovery wipe data again then install CM.. All should be good after that.

Nope think it's the real deal. Still no revert on the commit log.

Like you said, it's a pretty silly thing to say. Every single AOSP ROM for non-Nexus phones has been based off of CM (AFAIK) it's almost ridiculous at this point in time to wonder about the success of their project.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
Perhaps for other devices, but in the context of the Galaxy Note 2 every single AOSP ROM owes credit to Sbrissen and Cyanogen Mod because they are all basically CM10.1 with their own individual aftermarket mods installed to make it slightly different.

If you could show me some ROM's, for this device or other (remember, no Nexus phones either) that are AOSP and are not based off of the work of Cyanogen Mod then I'll gladly retract my statement on that regard.

I suspect there are developments behind the scenes at CM that are necessitating these changes, and we'll be learning of them in the next few months. Just a hunch, but having more accurate device analytics would be extremely valuable for an organization like them, and as Koush said on Twitter, many (if not most) Google Play apps already collect this data. I'm more comfortable with CM collecting it than some random app developer.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] strikeir13:
Unfortunately, this did not work for me. I booted into recovery, wiped data, installed Beans B12, rebooted, went through setup without entering my account, GOT GPS LOCK TO 4 METERS, rebooted into recovery, wiped data again, install CM, booted up, went through setup, installed Maps, and only got aGPS. Here's hoping for an improved open source GPS!

Edited to include getting gps lock, which I did do. Just forgot to post it the first time.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikeyinid:
How about AOKP? Outside of device trees, and the AOSP base, those guys write most(if not all) of their own code. You know even CM uses alot of work that isnt even "theirs". AOKP didnt build from CM sources like alot of people did. They pull straight AOSP source, then add to it. Definitely not based on CM...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sbrissen:
do i know you? ;)

I think in the sense of getting non-aosp devices working on aosp, most of that code is from cm. feature wise code could be anyone's game.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
I'm fine with them collecting simple numbers of how many devices are running CM.

I am not fine with them collecting my IMEI, and apparently people made enough of a stink about it that Koush merged a commit to remove IMEI from stats collection. This is exactly why I was getting so heated that stats collection is now being forced, because unless you look through all the code you don't know exactly what is being pulled. And IMEI (even though it's being removed) is a huge no no from me.
