There used to be some way to improve gps in the sgs days. An app called fasterfix I believe. Is there something like that to fix the poor gps performance on this ROM?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] subvertbeats:
Thanks, is BT kernel related? Wondering if its worth trying stock kernel or others (currently using thor)
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] tilaksidduram:
I used the GPS few min back and it works flawlessly. I used it with Google maps and also with sygic no issues what so ever.

Im running the ROM that I released on the 24th Apr.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] silversurfers25:
Come from ARHD as I found that all the extra Samsung features are no longer used! I really like the DPI change, Always have done on this device but doesn't work with Samsung's rom :(

Anyhow, so far I have not come across any problems, changed DPI to 220 and using Nova Launcher. Changed the DPI of Several apps to and have used GPS fine for Ingress and Google Maps.

Cheers :D
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] jonsmith709:
Love this ROM, not sure why Samsung or the others don't have a tablet mode option. I was using Miui which is also one of my favorites, but not keen on the launcher and other launchers tend to FC when using widgets.

Would love to see a ROM like this combined with Miui,a perfect combination.

Keep up the good work, would recommend this ROM to anyone, everything just works.:good::D

Because the troubles with GPS and several crashes of the dialer I want to update from 5april ROM to 22april. I downloaded the ROM but for some reason the G-apps is not downloading. I tried 9 times already and every single time the download gets stuck at 0% with speed 0,0 kb/s. Nothing happens. I tried gapps 2104 and 1604 but no downloadspeed. Can I just use the 0404? And what am I missing then?

I really love the ROM so I want to update to see if this resolves the non working GPS-connection and makes make in call audio work again.

edit: I also tried using IE as I always use Chrome. But that has the same issue. No download speed and stuck at 0%
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] be_vigilant:
Have you checked goo site to see if they are having server issues?

In the meantime download them from HERE

Also this rom has no issues with GPS. You must have changed\installed\modded something. I used GPS last night no problems.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] J_Force:
Thanks a lot kind sir :). I am sure I haven't changed a thing. Just because I wouldn't know how LOL. I installed Sygic Maps which used to work great. I also installed GPS test and I would not get a lock either. Is there a way I can reset any GPS settings perhaps?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] be_vigilant:
Just go with a full wipe on up to date version along with latest google apps. I just did that with a build I made today. GPS working fine :)

Mmh I took a closer look at my GPS and found it to be all over the place compared to Samsung ROM. I have changed the GPS pool and used GPS status to reset my AGPS however this still hasn't fixed it.

Also has anyone noticed the ROM getting hot up top of the screen/underside?

And also it is sloooow to charge? Lol otherwise I love being able to change the DPI :)

AllShare Cast Dongle Connectivity, Multi-Window, and Smart Dock Connectivity Issues

Good morning, I installed the ROM and it is way much better than CM 10.1 nightly, stable and all features work perfectly, I read some posts with BT problems, but didn't experience that, all BT devices connected with no problem (mouse, keyboard, ear piece), Wi-Fi works perfectly too, no problem whatsoever, great ROM indeed. But did you go away with multitask? and what about sharecast, is it still available?

Edited:

I tried to install "AllShareCast" from Google Play Store, and received the following message: "Incompatible with other application(s) using the same shared user ID". Any idea how to resolve this?

Also, I can't find anywhere on Google a way to enable multi-tasking, is it work-in-progress for the ROM?

Also, I just tried connecting the phone to Samsung Smart Dock and it also doesn't work, the phone does not connect to the TV via the HDMI and the smart dock. Any help would greatly appreciated as with these issues, the phone now cannot connect to the TV in any way, it cannot connect via the Samsung Allshare Cast Dongle or the Samsung Smart Dock.

Your thoughts are greatly welcomed.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] numerouknow:
as confirmed earlier, gps working as it should. no problems at all.

no problems with phone getting hot either.

charging speed is kernel related n so are the issues related to phone getting hot in most cases afaik (pls correct me if m wrong). having said that, i've tested almost all kernels available for n7100 n not one of them caused any such problems of over heating.

this rom is ROCK STABLE & BUTTER SMOOTH.

ps: i've tested all kernels at stock frequencies. not a fan of overclocking. dont see a need for it with this beast.

Some issues

Hi..

Facing some issues. Maybe someone could help:

1. The Groups in the Contacts appear unsorted, which makes it very difficult to find a particular one. Any way to sort them?

2. Call voice is too low.. how can I increase it? The setting is already at max via Vol Up button.

3. When using Bluetooth, the Contacts and Phone apps crash very often, and keep on crashing. The only resort is to restart the phone. Is someone facing the same flakiness using Bluetooth connection?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Crushader:
I've been away from AOSP ROM for a while now, so just wondering if the bluetooth call issue (no voice get through) has been addressed yet? And is exFAT still unavailable for AOSP?

Better then cm10.1 IMO

Quite good battery life with neak 1.7

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] victorator:
Great version. Except for bad battery life (just like all AOSP roms) I honestly can't find anything wrong with this one. Nice job! You should become our official maintaner. As for the wifi not working, I think in one of the CM commits you will find that the Note1 wifi driver broke the connection at some point for our device and was reverted later on. I'm not sure if that is the case though.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] be_vigilant:
Cheers for the information about the wifi driver. I will take a look into it when I get home from work today. To be honest all the hard work for compiling has already been done by CM10.1 team, PA team, S3 official maintainer. If you want to have a go at compiling here is the official guide.

Thanks for your work boss. Neak is fine but it has some limitations in visual effects issue. Advance screen settings does not works properly.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] be_vigilant:
I know, I dislike relying on the neak kernel. I would much rather just have a stock AOSP one. I need to figure out how to make wifi work in the default built kernel. It must be a driver issue but not sure how to update them. Not had time to spend on it last few days as work is killing me. Hopefully will take a look at the weekend so neak will have to do for now :(

strange! m on 22nd april build from the day it was released n i haven't had a single random reboot or fc since then.

r u using any other mods with this rom? or have u overclocked/undervolted with a custom kernel that supports oc/uv?

if u r using this rom as it is then may b u can retry by doing a full wipe n fresh install. that's all i can say considering the fact that it's working perfectly here.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] be_vigilant:
My personal experience with the ROM is perfect

I don't have slow charging

My phone has never crashed or locked up

My phone doesn't get hot

Bluetooth music plays fine to my car

GPS works fine through Google maps and navigation

If you have issues then it's a kernel,mod, tweak or app you installed.

However in the GPS tester app I do only get 6 satellites in view and 0 used. However my GPS navigation works fine. I will investigate on Monday or maybe Tilak could as I am busy tomorrow.

No mods or overclocking. And I've been using/updating this ROM for a while with no problems.

I just did a full wipe that seems to have solved the problem.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] J_Force:
First of all I love your work. Much respect for it. I have no kernel, mod or tweak installed because I don't have the need to do that. I have apps, of course ;), but nothing fancy. Same apps never caused me trouble. Is there a way I can provide information to help identify the issue?

Only two things that happened to me on this ROM are no in call audio, fixed by updating, and no GPS lock.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] tilaksidduram:
[MENTION=2835284]J_Force[/MENTION], when you turn on your GPS do you seeing a message in your notification area saying "searching for GPS". Once a GPS lock is fixed, it would say "location set by GPS".

Do you see this message on your phone? I can get a GPS lock in less than 10 Sec on my phone. Never had any issues with GPS so far.

Does your GPS work with other custom ROMS like CM 10.1, RootBox etc. if not i would suggest you to try installing latest CM10.1 Nightly and check if it works.

Hey, thanks for the reply,

I have wiped and re-installed and found the following:

Phone gets hot when being used for a while, no extra apps/mods installed

Still slow charging, no extra apps/mods installed

GPS still can't get a proper lock on - it find them but doesnt use them properly so I am all over the place on Maps or Ingress
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] J_Force:
[MENTION=539770]tilaksidduram[/MENTION]:

If I enable GPS in the quick settings panel I get no message whatsoever.

if I go to settings - location services and I enable GPS satellites there is no message whatsoever. Not in the notification panel, not on screen.

The weird thing is, that Sygic finds my location but loses me every so much seconds. So I get a location but no stable connection. Same thing with the app GPS test (or do I need something else to test with?). It tells my speed while driving in my car but shows no connected satellites. What can I do? I need offline navigation.

On stock ROM it was working really good. If am correct it was also working good on the earlier (march) PA ROM but I am not 100% sure.

Please Help it is really annoying me now.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] tilaksidduram:
Not sure why you are note able to see any GPS info on the notification panel. To see the GPS info turn the GPS on first then open Google maps now you will see the GPS info appearing on the notification panel.

See the below two pics, one is when the GPS is searching for a signal and the other pic shows the GPS locked with a location.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] be_vigilant:
Try clearing the apps data from settings? I use titanium backup purchased from the play store and it works fine. So its something unique to your phone setup I am afraid.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] J_Force:
Ok, 1: I open Maps, 2: I turn GPS on, 3: I see in quick settings searching for gps and it stays on searching for some time and then it changes to location set by gps. It shows location set on notification also.

Edit: does this mean that Google Maps gets a GPS fix/lock? If so then why are the other apps not getting a fix/lock?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] PiskopatYazar:
I did that but the problem remains. thats very annoying why would it do that though was working perfectly before flashing the ROM.

I have purchased the pro from Google Play as well.

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] tilaksidduram:
[MENTION=2835284]J_Force[/MENTION], did you try to navigate using Google maps once the GPS got locked? Were you able to get correct direction. unless you test your phone after the GPS got a lock we cannot confirm that the GPS is working.

I have used Sygic and it works all the time for me.

---------- Post added at 12:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:51 AM ----------

Perform the below steps to Remove the Mouse Pointer when you're hovering with the SPen above the Screen

Use Root Explorer

Go to System/usr/idc

Open sec_e-pen.idc

Change "touch.deviceType = pointer" into "touch.deviceType = touchScreen"

Save and Exit and then, Reboot.

The above method works good.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Dazzla:
Is there any reason that I don't have the mouse pointer enabled? Reading above makes it sound like it's enabled by default.

Also when using an app like lecture notes or papyrus there is no palm rejection on the screen when using the s pen. In lecture notes with hover turned on you can see the hover point but if you rest your hand on the screen to write then the s pen is disabled. Any idea on how to change that behaviour?
