So after having all the trouble with not being able to call I decided to go for a clean install. So I installed stock ROM, root with CWM by Philz and then downloaded PA 3.15 05 April and PA Google Apps 04 April. Went in recovery, wiped cache and dalvik, installed ROM en gapps, wiped chache en dalvik again and then reboot. Somehow I got stock in a bootloop, the PA bootlogo keeps on flashing on my screen and nothing happend. So I thought I must have done something wrong. Again back to stock ROM to be sure, root, PA and AGAIN :S bootloop. What The $^&*@( :mad:. Now I have a Note II that won't install PA anymore??? I was in love with this ROM untill the contacts.apk went crashing and using the phone function was no longer possible. I tried to revive our relationship ;) but it looks like it's going to be a divorce :P.

Any one? Devs? Fellow users? HELP!

edit: even a third try by going back to stock and start all over did not work. Somebody please tell me how to get PA running again. Am I using the wrong files? I don't want to go back to crapwizz again
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] jdstrydom:
^ I had a similar issue on another ROM. Had me stumped. Resolved it by doing a full wipe, meaning data too. Factory wipe.

Seems that some system's residual app data from previous ROM was causing the issue.

That could be something to try. Didn't read in your post that you did a full wipe, so ignore if you did do it before flashing the new ROM.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] mata26m:
Before I found that restore issue I also deleted my internal memory but nothing.

I also had that bootloop, but after couple of minutes I pressed power button for few secs and phone rebooted normally and PA started normally.

Did you tried any other AOSP rom after?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] tilaksidduram:
There is one method that you could try, if still stuck at the PA logo, then turn of the phone and remove the battery and put it back again and reboot. This should fix hang at boot logo. If nothing happens then try to install the cm 10.1 nightly and then try flashing PA .

Just edit the updater script file and add the N7100 name in the there and you will be able to flash this ROM using TWRP.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Paul013:
Working fine!

I was on stock + root with twrp. Did factory wipe and installed. No issues so far. Just the camera focus problem.. Think ive to search for a compatible kernel to get it fixed... Overall, a Great job dev!!:)
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] J_Force:
Alright devs and other helpful people. Here's the situation at this moment and what I've done.

1: Flashed stock ROM (MA6-MA1-LK7)

2: Factory reset

3: Root + CMW

4: Wiped cache + dalvik

5: Flashed PA 5 april (post on first page) + Gapps 4 april

6: Wiped cache + dalvik

7: Bootloop

8: Factory reset

9: Boots and starts eventually

There it is: my phone looks back in business. :eek: BUT HERE IT IS AGAIN!!! I can't make phonecalls. I've tried several things and here is the info.

I can make a call to my voicemail, I get a connection (timer starts counting) but I can't here a thing over normal speaker or in speaker mode.

I can make a call to a person, I get a connection and the other persons hears me but I can't here the person I am calling. Also I never heard any dialtone when the persons phone was ringing.

I can receive a call, answer it and again the person is hearing me and I am not hearing the person.

So Sunday morning is already getting me in a bad mood. I need to get my phone fixed today. So any thoughts on this?

I was wondering if the modem is getting messed up. Issues like this on CM on my galaxy S (1) used to be modem related. I live in the Netherlands but I've set language and region in the initial setup screen to US because I prefer my phone/phablet to be in englisch. This has nothing to do with it, right?

EDIT: I also tried calling over my car's radio by BT. Just to be sure it is not my phones speakers that aren't working. There too I can't hear a dialtone or the other person but the other person can hear me.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] be_vigilant:
Are you sure your phone is N7100 international version? rooted? The rom compiled on the first page by me runs perfect.

I think the camera auto flash touch focus problem is with cm10.1\AOSPA and not specific to this rom. I do not think changing kernel will help. Let me know if if does though.

Is your ext SD card formatted in correct way? AOSP\kernel does not support exfat. It has to be formatted Fat32. I have no issues with my 64gig external SDcard being mounted. Not sure on simtoolkit as its not something I have ever used. Is this part of AOSP? or CM?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] J_Force:
YES I am 100% sure it is. My phone used to run perfectly on your ROM until yesterday when suddenly I could not use contacts.apk. As mentioned in this thread I tried wipe cache +_dalvik and set permissions (both in CWM) but that didnt't help. So I went for a full clean install and since then I needed a factory reset to get it to boot (which didn't happen before) and I can't call anymore.

Last guess: is the problem maybe related to the fact that the first install of PA was with Redpill kernel?

---------- Post added at 01:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:40 PM ----------

On the CM thread D3 wrote the above. For some weird reason this seemed to do the trick :S. Very weird because on earlier releases of PA this was no issue.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] nitol:
Sound is really low, please look after this. Other than, the rom (5th Aprl) is superb.

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] OGWisdom:
Try to set the contacts or people apk in hybrid settings to 360 DPI and 360 layout. Also, when installing a ROM freshly, it is recommended to wipe data, cache, dalvik cache and system! The system is important to wipe to remove residuals from the last ROM you had installed. I would try clean again and wipe everything! I've never had any problems with this ROM, so I'm sure it may just be something simple. I use to dev for PA for the sg3, when someone would have this problem in my thread, the above would solve.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] non1oson:
does red pill kernel work on this?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] tilaksidduram:
Yes latest redpill kernel works with ROM.

Anyone getting constant force closes from the gallery app after updating to the latest version?

Thread locked and disabled for some reason.

Are you using any kind of equaliser or volume boosting apps that may not play nice? I find the volume is fine from the 1st post build. Maybe I have good ears? lol :o

Latest version of google apps? I just updated my google apps to the latest version and gallery runs fine, no issues. Running 1st post build of PA rom.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] nitol:
no sir, i'm not using any sound booster and using your latest build (5th aprl) with latest gapps. maybe i need to see an ENT doctor. lol :)
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Crazypinoy9:
When I updated to the latest version I used the newest Gapps you posted but so far after a few re-flashes I'm still having the same issue. I even tried re-downloading just in case. The only thing I haven't tried yet is doing a factory reset.

It's very strange...
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] J_Force:
Phone running smoothly as before. Just keeping sound and lockscreen sounds on. But I want to use a third party camera app instead of stock camera when sliding my lockscreen to the left. Although I am on a clean install it never asked me which app to use. Somebody to tell me how to get this changed?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] be_vigilant:
I do not think this is possible yet. I think it will require the actual camera app to support this and I do not think there are any yet. Not 100% though so prove me wrong :D
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] gondsman:
Camera zoom FX has support for it. Also, if you install another camera app and disable or uninstall the original one it will use whatever is available. I'm using the huawei camera right now (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2146428) and it works really well.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] J_Force:
How do I disable the stock camera? It's part of gallery.apk right? Should I disable the stock gallery and use a third party gallery?

---------- Post added at 11:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:39 AM ----------

On my previous install it once asked which camera app it should open.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] gondsman:
Yes, exactly. I use quickpic and I like it better than the stock camera, it's only lacking NFC support.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] J_Force:
What's the best and reversible way to do that? Just rename gallery.apk to gallery.apk.bckp?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] idasfa38:
Does anyone know how to change the status bar and navigation bar colours for the lockscreen?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] gondsman:
You can just disable 'gallery' from settings -> apps -> all

It doesn't uninstall it and you can always re-enable it.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] J_Force:
How about video recording. Would that also get disabled?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] gondsman:
It depends on what app you use in lieu of the stock camera. Camera zoom fx relies on the stock camera to record videos, so it won't work. The huawei camera I'm using right now supports video recording by itself, so it works even with the stock app disabled.

Getting boot loop. Already tried restarting holding power button
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] AlbioB:
sometimes it happens to me too. you need to remove the battery, wait 5-10 sec, and than boot again.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] jdstrydom:
Me too. Cleaning dalvik also sorts the issue out.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] reinberto:
Tried both. Doesn't work. Maybe it's something with the kernel?

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] be_vigilant:
I am runing the build from the first post compiled by me and never get a boot loop. I run stock kernel too. I have also installed this on 3 of my friends phones all have no issues.

Bootloop is caused by not setting the sectv flag to false before compiling. I have def set this in my build.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] reinberto:
does it matter which recovery i'm using?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] tilaksidduram:

strange, because i flash the rom then kernel and gapps. i have tried 2 aokp/cm10.1 roms. they both don't work
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] be_vigilant:
How about don't flash a custom kernel only rom and gapps like the instructions say?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] OGWisdom:
Be_vigilant has a point. Try to just install only the ROM and gapps, reboot, let it boot, then boot into recovery and install kernel. I've had problems like that myself in the past.

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] OGWisdom:
I really do not understand why people make a big deal about battery life. Before the note 2 even came out, there was NO phone on the market that would yield you at least one day of battery life. Some were close, but come on people, these are baby computers, not 50 year old flip phones. If you can yield a whole day on your battery, that is a milestone in smartphone history by itself! Who really needs their battery to last for 2+ days? Even though on the note 2, I easily get 2 days, any ROM, any kernel! Some of you just use your phone too damn much and then wanna cry about battery.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] numerouknow:

the usage of a phone varies from person to person but having said that, battery life should never be a problem with this big boy - whopping 3100mah battery...1st in its class...what more can one ask from a mobile phone!!!!!
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] jbird951:
One big reason is because having to charge your phone during the day sucks. I can't get a single day out of use out of my Nexus 4 without having to throw it on the charger, I didn't have to do this on my iPhone 4. Expecting 1 day of use out of a phone isn't unreasonable imho. With normal use I have to charge my Nexus by mid day, it's pretty annoying and sometimes not possible if I'm out and about.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] nowy57:
I luv PA compilation much !

one thing is bad - battery life

I am using UNAEK and THOR kernel somethimes

I am shure by now that TW roms are much better (battery life I mean )

I expect all day USE - all things sync ON , a lot of mails , SMS during a day

but it will be very nice to have PA ROM with 2days live .
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Jeshter2000:
Sorry but I just had a big surgery. So I cant look much to my screen. I got a problem with market not compatible. Please explain how to resolve this. Thank you ....
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] be_vigilant:
Firstly, I hope you are ok after surgey. I am running from the build from the first page with the latest GAPPS package which includes the new market. It loads fine for me on my device.

Are you running any market themes?

Have you changed the DPI of the market application?

Have you installed any ROM themes or MODs?

The rom and GAPPS are fine as they are working for me and also my friends. So this must be down to something you have installed\modded\themed or changed. If you are playing around with such things I would advice a FULL factory reset. Then get your phone and apps setup how you like and do a full nandroid backup. Once you have that backup play about with mods\themes etc.

Can i flash redpill kernel on this rom cuZ my phone eMmx chip suffer s from SDS and i dont know if the stock kernel in this rom have sds fix. Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] be_vigilant:
PA3+ takes CM10.1 as a base. So it uses the CM10.1 kernel. That includes the SDS fix.

However feel free to flash any AOSP 10.1 based custom kernels.

Thor

Redpill

Neak

etc

(A little mistake I left the silly mouse pointer in the download. This is now fixed in the first post. If the mouse pointer annoys you flash the rom from first post. Many apologies)

What's going on with my dialer?

I've just flashed the latest PA 3.15 on my GN2 GT-N7100. It's perfectly smooth, except for one thing: If I dial a number, the screen goes black when connecting without my face or anything else blocking the proximity sensor. I need to press the power on/off and type in my security code just to get to the home screen. From there I can terminate the call from the navigation bar. But if I try to get into the dialer when connected, the screen goes black again. It's all fine if I've got my hands-free pluged in, but it's still pretty annoing. So, what am I doing wrong?

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] be_vigilant:
I just tested this with my phone on 2 Note II's

I placed the phone down on the desk and called voicemail. The screen stay illuminated on the dialler screen. When I placed my hand over it the screen turned off, when I removed my hand the screen came on again with no lock screen.

Sometimes not clearing your cache\dcache will cause sensor issues. Please clean this and try again.

Are you running any themes\modifications\phone apps?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] tilaksidduram:
Here is some good news to all who wanted the stock camera to have all the below features features that CM10.1 provides. These features was always part of our PA ROM, i finally found the culprit(PA specific gapps) that was removing these features after the ROM was installed on our phones.

PA specific gapps was also carrying a featureless and older version of the gallery2.apk file, when you install the PA gapps it deletes the already installed gallery2.apk(PA version) file from the system/app directory and replaces that with the older version(gapps version), that is featureless.

I have modified the "PA gapps" package by removing the gallery2.apk file from it and also editing the updater-scripts to not delete the already installed gallery2.apk file. Download the modified pa gapps package from the link below.

Note : Camera still crashes when you focus manually, this is not yet fixed as it is a bug in CM10.1.

Stock Camera Features

* HDR

* Options to select different Scene modes

* Use Power button as shutter

* Options to select different Focus modes

* Touch focus duration

* ISO

* JPEG image quality

* Choose different color effects

* Burst Mode

pa_gapps-full-4.2-20130410-modified.zip

Steps to install

* Flash latest PA ROM then the modified PA gapps package

* wipe cache and dalvik cache

* reboot

any good kernel, or the stock one is good enough? thanks
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] quigonjr:
I've cleared both caches and formating the system prior to posting here yesterday. Since then, I've installed the CM 10.1 Nighty rom. I get the same problem there. Since your ROM is way better, I've installed PA again. I'm running a themed Apex Launcher Pro, but no other modifications or phone apps. Could be a hardware failure. But since the phone works mint in stock conditions, I think my problem is software related.

Redpill

thanks. i'll let it settle for a while then maybe try another one. on idle the drain is great. 1% over night. and i got one day out of it after the flashing. from 50% to 10% with 3h screen time. so maybe the stock will do nicely.

and it seem that on wifi the drain is a bit bigger. will see.

thanks guys.

and thanks for a great rom. love the options and the PA stuff. one question, not a request. the percentage for the battery? and the max volume is a bit low, any way to increase it.?

with the 4.1.2 jb official i can use the screen like 6 hours and 30m , with this rom in 5 h of screen i've got 3% with same usage.

Why this? i tought is the vsync disabled.. Because when i disabled that on the 4.1.2 game like Dead Trigger was speeded up but the battery draining was similar to this rom.

So in case how i can re-enable the vsync?

hello. with both 05/04 and 12/04 releases, my phone freezes when in standby.

i tried to wipe cache and dcache but the problem is still here.

anyone got the same issue?
