You will never get the same battery life on stock with AOSP. I think I read somewhere that samsung does not release source code for advanced power management etc. I would say battery is as good as we are going to get it. But saying that I find the battery fine. Here are my current stats from this morning. This is with 2:30 hours screen on time, full syncing my google account and constantly signed in with gtalk.

I am running the 12th build and have been since I posted it. I have not had 1 single crash or had need to reboot my phone. I wakes up from standby perfectly.

Have you installed any themes?

Have you installed and CPU or memory apps?

Are you over clocking or under clocking?

Are you using conflicting CPU govners in CPU APP profile settings?

Try factory reset.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] AlbioB:
no, no, no and no. :rolleyes:

i'll go with a factory reset.

thank you!

Hey team,

I've just installed this ROM. All's fine except, I am not able to add my official exchange email account in Email application. Tried stock email app as well as K9 Email. Stock email app says wrong credentials, but I am pretty sure they are correct. Any known issues or is it something I am doing wrong?

For a background: I was using the exchange account with my Samsung stock email app before. I was on stock ROM but rooted one. Today evening I installed PA3+.

Any help would be much appreciated.

EDIT: Tried factory reset/wipe cache options from CWM recovery menu. Issue persists.

About the new camera app, i have a bug. When i taken a pic with face camera, i stay on pic, not return on camera vision. Have you this bug ? I'm clear ?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] tilaksidduram:
I too see that the front camera does not return to camera mode after taking a pic.

Let me see what is the problem.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] andrei_me:
as far as i'm seeing it. i get better standby without wifi on over night, maybe since all the samsung crap isn't on and doing stuff. i took it off the charge last night and went to sleep, after 8 hours it was at 99. with samsung it would have been at 97-96.

but it has a bigger drain on standy with wifi on than samsung, not as high as on data. while on samsung rom, the difference between wifi and data is much bigger. but i still got on the first time about 30hours out of it with 6 h screen time.

maybe another kernel can do better? on standby with wifi and in deep sleep?

thanks. you recomended thor. is it really better or just good for people who like to thinker with it?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] be_vigilant:
For Science!

I do not tinker with thor. I just install it and leave it as default. As for wifi drain I will do some research. I read about wifi battery saving tips a few days ago. I will build a ROM with these included for you for testing.

Now here are my latest stats FOR SCIENCE! :highfive:

Screen on 0% brightness

GTALK constantly signed in with 2 accounts

Google account fully syncing including music

Wifi constantly on when at home

HSDPA constantly on when I leave home

100% to 4%

========

2 days 14 hours 27 minutes

4 Hours Screen On time

how to add shorcuts on the slide lockscreen i cant seem able to find it...
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] danfozzy:
I'm looking too can't seem to find the option. I can find how to add shortcuts to the actual lockscreeen but not on the slider itself, is that feature included in this ROM?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] pesaroso:
Hi!

I just installed the 12apr ROM with a full wipe + wipe cache/dalvik after install.

Whenever I try to choose Phablet UI, I get fc on system ui. Anyone knows how to fix it? :)

Cheers, love the ROM!
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] examiner:
Only option in the lockscreen shortcut is available but not in the slider lockscreen.i dont know why pure PA dont have that..will try for the reply of the op..he knows the answer..
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] andrei_me:
that look great. really good.

the drain from what i understand, i might be wrong. on wifi, it keeps the cpu active. in bbs it's a kernel wakelock "wlan_rx_wake_ for when the wifi is on . mine is at 50 min now. and another one is " battery_monitor' 33 min. that might have somthing to do with it.

i've put my stats 70% after almost 17 h. with android os much highr than your because of the wifi. when i got up this morning and checked and made a few calls, android os was low. but after a day at the office it went up on wifi.

if the wifi is of. the battery drain is awesome. verylittle. i think that the kernel is good. if this could be fixed there would be no need to change.

anyway. i'll give it a few more cycles and see. maybe try thor. and how can i flash the default kernel back after that?

here are my screenshots. brightness to about 40%, calls and wifi.

oh one last question. why is it that the awake bar in the battery stats not showing more use? even when the screen is on.

thanks for answering and if you want to make those changes for battery and need to test. i would be happy to do it. :D
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Pharaon92i:
So, is there any way to increase sound volume for media ? I've searched through the topic and noticed that the question has been asked quite a few times, but I couldn't find any reliable answer to it.

In older builds of PA, you had to modify a file called t03g, if I'm not mistaken.

Is this method still usable for this build of PA ?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] tilaksidduram:
Adding shortcuts to the lockscreen slider ring is not yet merged into PA. Hence you will not find it in the ROMs that we release.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] andrei_me:
+1, and the ringer volume.

edit. i've flashed redpill and in the audio there is an option to make it louder. need to test it over a day to see the difference. :D
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] be_vigilant:
Ok this is just a BETA.

Volume Boost

Wifi power saving changes

Deep Sleep changes

pa_n7100-3.15-16APR2013-BETA.zip

Please post results. If they are positive I will merge them into the normal release. There is a beta of hybrid2\pie2 out but I will be waiting for official release.

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] rashid.fairus:
hi

im new to pa, just want a quick suggestions,

recommend kernel?

recommend recovery?

ty
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] examiner:
just use twrp as recovery you can found it in this original dev section and thor kernel LSI version...search in the google about the tegra owners you can found thor kernel there..
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] andrei_me:
i was just about to ask about thor. since i could not find it on xda. maybe you have a link or someone can provide one? thanks
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] examiner:
it is probihited here in XDA..check your inbox..i'll send the link for you.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] subvertbeats:
Be_vigilant

Not at all scientific but early signs are that power consumption is down, battery % is higher now than it has been at this time of day in recent days.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] be_vigilant:
Firstly thanks for providing feedback.

Can you tell if the speaker seems louder? Any distortion do I need to turn the max level down a bit? It def seems louder to me.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Jeshter2000:
Can you provide a flashable zip with Hybrid2/pie2 beta`s for those who what a taste of that?

Could that be possible?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] lawrrtan:
guys, just installed the latest version. My sound volume speaker is quite low? message notifications are quite low despite maximum volume? are you guys having that problem also?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] subvertbeats:
Definitely louder but not sure that helps.

With previous builds I've had distortion when levels set to loudest, so have had to set to one point below max at loudest.

Now it's louder at any particular level setting but still distorts at the same level of loudness, so I now have to turn down a couple of points to avoid distortion
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] nitol:
Why Beta! This is the best build. Sound increased a lot which was my prior concern. Everything's fine.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] be_vigilant:
I agree that the max volume is set too high. I will lower the threshold until I find the sweet spot.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] be_vigilant:
After further reading its not even beta yet only alpha. I will just be patient for official release. Maybe one of my colleagues fancy building one?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Jeshter2000:
Thank you for your answer. Now I can only someone wants to build one as I can`t do it.....
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] tilaksidduram:
I tried to build a rom with Hyrid 2.0/PIE2, facing some issues while compiling as it was missing some framework sources. PA for non nexus devices are build from the jellybean legacy branch and hybrid 2 is still not merged into jellybean-legacy.

Will try to make some changes and see if i an get it to compile, if successful i will post the Rom here.

Keep in mind that hybrid 2 and PIE 2 is still in early alpha, probably we need to wait.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Jeshter2000:
Well if it aint possible it aint possible. Is is not that Im demanding it LOL.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] victorator:
Pie 2.0 is impossible to build right now. The easiest way would be to port it from an existing mako build. I think replacing systemui and paprefs should be a good start.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] nitol:
is there any difference between beta and the 17th build?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] be_vigilant:
not really only the max volume being taken down 2 steps. I still feel its a little too loud. We need to find the golden point between distortion and loudness.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] subvertbeats:
Agreed.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] gr8ednz:
First up awesome ROM especially the latest version, super smooth no slowdowns minimal lag (scrolling in nova launcher), best aosp experience yet.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] pat30724:
Wow nice rom!!

Sound is great on the speaker. But is a bit low when i put it on AUX with my radio.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] t-r-e:
Are these wifi battery changes and deep sleep are kernel related , if I flashed another kernel I will lose them ? , also is battery now compairable to stock , specialy on deep sleep ?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] J_Kirk:
The home, back and menu soft buttons at the bottom

Totally newbie question.. how can I get rid of the home, back and menu soft buttons on the screen? I have the hard buttons and those are just wasting precious screen space. I tried turning on the PIE mode, but then even the notification bar disappeared..
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] numerouknow:
settings -> hybrid properties -> interface -> set nav bar to 0% n that should do.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] be_vigilant:
They are not advanced tweaks to kernel just rom/system optimisations. I lifted them from the hyperdroid rom but they are well known modifications.

Changing kernels will not lose them. Battery life will never be stock like. But surely over 2 days use is ok?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Sultan.Alkhuzaie:
what is the best kernal for this rom
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] numerouknow:
i've tested the stock kernel, neak, redpill & thor and i personally liked thor kernel. for me it strikes the right balance between performance & battery life. but again it depends on individual's usage & preference. may b u can give each one of them a try and see which one suits ur needs best.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] be_vigilant:
Personal choice. Personally I have tried them all and find Thor streets ahead of the others. I was hopeful the new devil kernel would match Thor but it gives me high android os usage.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Logicsystem360:
Hello !

Excellent ROM, the last ROM give me good result about battery life with Redpill kernel.

However, I dislike CRT off effect, how to disable in .zip ?

And I want to put the clock in center of the status bar, it is possible ?

continuing in this way !
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] danfozzy:

Flashing Stock ROM back..

I want to move back to stock ROM.. do I need to wipe device before or just flash using ODIN using standard options?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] be_vigilant:
Did you not take a nandroid backup of your stock ROM?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] J_Kirk:
I haven't done anything as yet.. just asking if I'd need to do a clean wipe / reset type thing or just flash over the PA 3.15? I'd be using PC ODIN..
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Logicsystem360:
I have a minor bug when I uncheck the icon for the IME switch, I have always the icon :(
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] J_Kirk:
be_vigilant, my stock was giving me problems.. so I wanted to reset the rom. Instead I decided to try an AOSPA ROM.. but I don't like it that much. I want to re-install the stock back..
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] numerouknow:
just flash using ODIN using standard options - this should do
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] J_Kirk:
But I had to wipe my device clean before installing this ROM and gapps. Ok.. another question.. does wipe data/factory reset also removes the default recovery mode i.e. Power-Home-Volume Down combo? Cause I'd need to put the phone in program mode to connect to ODIN for flashing..
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] tilaksidduram:
Doing a wipe data will not remove the custom recovery. You can put you phone into download mode and flash the stock rom using PC Odin. Once you do that your custom recovery is lost. You will go back to stock recovery.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] MyCanSeeYou:
Amazing battery life

This ROM is amazing! The only one I've seen to pull me away from a TW custom ROM. I've only one small issue, which doesn't really affect me, but when the phone is powered off and I put it to charge, the charge animation screen shows up and the phone boots up. The first day I flashed this, I accidentally left the screen on (lowest brightness and also wifi) while I slept, but the phone was still alive! I'm on the stock kernel BTW.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] jdstrydom:
What filesystem are you running on sd? Exfat doesn't work with some/most aosp kernels. I have no issues with fat32 or ext3/4
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Magnumutz:
Yeah, it seems like exFAT isn't liked by AOSP ROMs :(

Had to format it to Fat32...
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] modstorm:
As far as I know exfat is not supported by any AOSP rom.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] tilaksidduram:
When you left the screen on, was you phone connected to the charger. If so then do you have the "stay awake" option checked under developer options. If you have this option enabled then the screen stays awakes when charging.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] MyCanSeeYou:
Hi, nope I did not have my phone connected to the charger. In fact, I just took the phone off charge before I went to sleep. I think I may have been using an app before dozing off, as the screen timeout was enabled on 30s.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Magnumutz:
Yeah, it looks like only Samsung based ROMs like exFAT...
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Pharaon92i:
Well, sound was a bit better after flashing the latest build.

I just installed N.E.A.K. kernel and used the engine app to modify it to my tastes.

Nice combination ! :good: :)
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] osgoku:
Wow, very well built rom, no issues so far. But is there an option for centered clock? Thanks in advance.

awesome work with this rom bro....only problem i have is it kills my gps....other than that keep up the great work
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] osgoku:
I just found a bug.

When you try to adjust display brightness from the quick settings panel it does not do anything. And it would be nice if you could tell me how to center the clock in the statusbar.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Mad_Wolf:
Hello I'm very new to this rom was using omega before

So İ have someone questions sorry for taking your time

How can I remove th bir google search and the seperator from the main screen

Want to move the app drawer button on the main screen

Can I add call recorder and something like quicknote when I draw my spen want something to pop for taking quicknote

Also can I change the color of some apps like message app phonebook etc

And finaly is there any way to make the quicktoggles and the brightness var always visible
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] be_vigilant:
GPS works fine here. People who have had this issue in the past cleared their cache\dcache again and GPS worked. If not try a factory reset. There is definitely nothing wrong with GPS as I used it yesterday with google navigation. I used a clean wipe.

The developers of PA have agreed not to include centre clock as an option There is a GSIII mod HERE but I have not tried this on note2. If this doesn't work on note2 I am sure you can open the .zip and take a look inside to see what is needed
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] buzzworkers:
sound volume is weird, way too much DB. speaker will die fast this way. beside this point for me all is working like a charm. I just don't find any AOKP setting, is it normal? wifi is great, gps too. I'm on default aospa kernel. thanks for all you dev's do.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] be_vigilant:
I am still finding the sweet spot for the audio between distortion and loudness. Will push another build out today or tomorrow.

If you are wanting AOKP then head here. The rom is built by my good friend victorator

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] 3shmawy:
first time installing PA ROMs and i regret that

ROM is awesome but i need one thing, is there any way to hide navigation bar without hiding status bar also ?

i mean there is a an option to enable pie and hide them all but i need to hide navigation bar only !

also is there a way to center clock which is located in status bar ?

thanks in advance :)
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] 3shmawy:
may be i was lazy enough to discover how to hide navigation bar i managed to hide it via hybrid properties :D

but center clock still a something i need :)
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Mad_Wolf:
Anyone please ?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] be_vigilant:
Hello and welcome to PA n7100 thread. Center clock is not something the PA devs include in their ROM. However there was a mod for the GS3 posted in the prev page that does centre the clock. You only need flash the mod. This is untested on N7100 so may not work. Its probably best to examine the .zip and see what needs to be changed to allow this.

1] Install APEX launcher to remove seach bar and highly configure your home screen. PA launcher is basic.

2] No idea as I have never used or tested such an app. Give it a go and let us know if it works

3] You can change the colour of the title bar in some apps using the hybrid properties pull down.

4] No idea sorry. Have a search around.

What went wrong with the GPS??? I rely on my gps for navigation and don't have any other navigation device. But on this ROM I lose signal every 20-30 seconds! I never get a stable gps connection. This is really weird as on stock ROM GPS was excellent.

Any help would be appreciated. Is it ROM related? Is there a fix? Is there an app to fix this? Please...
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] subvertbeats:
Has anyone tried using this rom with a BT car kit?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] numerouknow:
no problem with gps here. used google maps without any problem.

gps problems were reported even in the past by some users but this was never an issue even with older builds. u can check a few pages back n see if full wipe n reinstall helped such users.

fyi, m currently on the latest build from the first page.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] J_Force:
Yes, I use it with my build BT in a seat ibiza. It works flawless. I wish that GPS worked like that ;)
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] subvertbeats:
