Great rom indeed! I.m coming from stock via miui and this was my best choice.

Any thoughts on including new cm fetures: incognito apps (my fav!) and tile camera (not really understand the purpose of that :D)

And one more thing: is there ANY chance to port note 2 stock gallery? Some guys here on xda ported the launcher, which needs sammy framework...

Thank you again for your work!

Hi there,

I have one strange problem.

With a fresh install and a few apps from the store, it seems that I have almost no more space on my phone (I'm talking about the internal storage).

I used the "diskusage" app to see what is happening. It seems that I have a huge 7.5GB "System data" (file ? folder ?) in there, for only 1GB of apps, so that I have only 2GB free ... (see here, it seems it is the same problem which is mentioned)

If I use the integrated file explorer, I can't see anything which could explain these lost 7.5 GB.

Any idea ? I am ready to completely reset my phone, but I would like to understand what is the problem first.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Sentinel196:
probably files left over from a non 4.2 Rom outside the 0 folder.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sylar12:
Thanks for the tip.

But before doing something stupid, could you please tell me which files you are talking about?

Everything looks normal in /sdcard so far, I don't see any files coming from previous installations. But from what I have read, 4.2 should have migrated my files from /data/media to /data/media/0. And the fact is, I have a lot of folder and files in /data/media AND a /data/media/0 folder (which is actually identical to /sdcard).

So my questions are:

- am I right when I say that the "files left over from a non 4.2 rom" are in /data/media?

- and, can I safely delete all files in /data/media (except the 0 folder, of course)?

By the way, thank you for your work, your rom is definitely the best I have tested so far!
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wini77:
I had kind of the same problem some time ago. I resolved it this way:

1. copy all my files that i need on a PC with airdroid (you can use usb but i prefer wireless)

2. make a titanium backup of all your apps that you need (i have a backup folder location set to ext sd card)

3. copy the supermegawipe script from arhd on the external sd card

4. copy your desired rom and gapps to the ext sd card

5. reboot to recovery

6. just in case make a nandroid backup to ext sd card

7. run the superwipe script from the ext sd card - your int sd card will be erased, as the rom, and system partition

8. flash the rom and gapps from ext sd card

9. boot to the rom

10. setup your phone, gmail, exchange, fb etc

11. install titanium backup and restore apps one by one (with data)

12. copy your files from the pc back to the phone

;)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sylar12:
Ok, I will perform a supermegawipe (!) on the next update to have a perfectly fresh installation.

Thanks !

With N.E.A.K. kernel:

Weird thing :S
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Sentinel196:
Strange. But not much I can do about it as it's a kernel issue. My kernel reports fine.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] levin143:
It's completely fine. It is normal for the NEAK kernel to show unavailable on AOSP roms. Head on to the NEAK kernel thread and you'll find similar cases.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wtr_dhd:
Hello, nice rom, smooth and very fast.

Any way i can get Halo on this rom ?? is there a flashable zip or something ??
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wtr_dhd:
Problem solved with your new build, thanks. :)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Mad_Wolf:
guys how is the battery performance compared to other stock samsung roms ?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] snabben:
Download and test yourself.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] lhex:
I got eight screen hours with this Rom.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wtr_dhd:
Do you actually run any apps then when the screen is on, lol ? 8 hours screen is loads. What kernel are you using and do you still have the stock battery ?

I come through the day quite easliy with normal to much use of the phone.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] naeem86:
I was getting around the same time with this rom. Everything stock.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Mad_Wolf:
guys is there any way or option to add the call recorder option in this rom like the samsung based roms
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sylar12:
Juste done an all new install, with everything being formated before.

So far, so good, but:

- in the camera, I had a strange behavior when I tried to shoot a movie yesterday: the picture was stretched vertically, but the recording was fine (ratio is OK).

- this morning (after a night on), when I switched the screen on, the screen blinked. First time I see this.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Sentinel196:
There's free apps on the play store that can record apps. I don't include it in the ROM as it's illegal in many countries.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] hoquangthaiholy:
I have a little lag when playing game. Everything work great. Battery amazing!
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] andrevs_ro:
after 4.80 update clock and statusbar mods is causing bootlop. anyone else having this issue? any way to solve this?

thank you dev, for your rom and constant support!
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sylar12:
Some other comments:

- I confirm that the camera image ratio when shooting a movie is still not correct

- the device is quite long to wake up when I push the home or power button. Is it normal?

- I used ROM toolbox to lower dpi from 320 to 260. All is fine, but the stock launcher does not look so good, with a lot of space all around the screen, including in the dock. No problem with app drawer. I can use of course another launcher (NOVAlauncher is fine with the 260 dpi value), but I just wonder why this is happening for the stock launcher.

But the battery life is still definitely AMAZING in this new version!
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] MurukanDHD:
Hey guys. New user of the rom here, and quite happy so far, no bugs to report.

I have two questions, first one concerning lcd density. I have switched mine to 280. This is the first time I done that and was wondering if it will interfere with my Google play and updates etc.

Second question is about fm radio. Is it possible to have it since the device supports it, and I still quite enjoy using it.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Sentinel196:
Removed status mods from OP as they are no longer compatible.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sylar12:
I changed mine to 260, and no problem so far.

Mmm, finally, just one: I use mysms to send SMS from my computer, and I had to use Market Enabler to download it.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] kingofthebraves:
Just flashed this Rom and can't get pie control to work. Do you have to use the stock launcher? I'm using nova prime.

Also what kind of battery life are you guys getting?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] jcdst:
So... This is CM 10.1 with better battery life and better performance?

---------- Post added at 06:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:23 PM ----------

Do i have to wipe if I´m coming from CM 10.1?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wtr_dhd:
Maybe better than CM10.1, but don't expect battery life like a sammy rom.

I like SentinelROM and it's rapid and smooth, but if I can't get through the day with heavy use (like I can easily do with ARHD for example) it's unusable for me :(
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] jcdst:
Yes I know that. But all ready tested many Sammy roms. And I always end up flashing CM again. It's hard to go back when you get use to the CM performance.

Thanks :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Is it just me or is the volume of the loudspeaker softer than stock Sammy ROMs?

Does Encryption work correctly ?

I've had an issue with some other custom roms for the Note 2 with Encryption.

i can encrypt the device OK, but I am unable to decrypt it again - the option does not do anything

Can someone tell me i this ROM suffers from this issue as well ?

test: Encrypt device, then try an decrypt it again. The only way around it I have found is restore stock and start from scratch

thanks

I always get this "Unfortunately, settings has stopped" message whenever I uninstall a program. I'm currently using Sentinel Rom 4.8 for N7100. Plus whenever I charge the phone while it is off, there is no indication that the battery is being charged. When the phone is on I can see that the battery is being charged but if i shut it down, battery charging animation appears stuck and no indication that battery is charging. another thing I notice is that the LED for charging doesnt go back when it changes to a notification e.g charging phone with LED of solid yellow and then phone recieves an sms( LED turns to fading blue) and after reading SMS, LED for charging status doesnt go back to solid yellow it just remains black.

I upgraded from Sentinel ROM 4.7 by wiping system cache and dalvik cache. I even wiped the system partition and then install the 4.8 ROM but still the same issues.

Overall, I'm happy with the stability that the Sentinel ROM has and the battery life is amazing! Keep it up sir!
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Sentinel196:
The systemUI crash when uninstalling an app is a known issue. It will be fixed in the next version. the app still uninstalls. Just press OK.

As for charging. I'm not sure as I don't have an N7100 to test with.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] sylar12:
Just for the record, I have the same 2 problems (System UI crash and stuck animation while charging the phone when it is off).

I made an all fresh install, wiping everything I can :silly:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] andrevs_ro:
I didn.t experieced sistem ui force close and charging animation is a bug stated in the OP
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] SpaZzzzz:
hey man!

thank u very much for this rom!

i just bought my Note2 not too long ago and im actually quite concerned about new roms - i'll tell u why:

what about the S-Pen?

how does it work in custom roms (not samsung roms) and what about S-Notes and the other apps?

i'll be glad to get an answer!

None of the samsung proprietary packages work by default in CyanogenMod based ROMs. But there are hacks and mods that can be used. Search the thread for links.

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] shinjie:

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] wowowboy69:
Clean install of Sentinel Rom. I used BBS to check wakelocks. Google services used to drain my battery a lot. My fix there was to uninstall all updates on Google Play Store, reboot the phone and install latest version of Google play. I also had issues with DNS server of my service provider. I used an app to force my phone to use Google's DNS server. I got faster loading times for websurfing. I also used AdAway. Helped me filter unneccessary data usage wasted in downloading ads. Lastly, i also used Greenify to hybernate programs that often performs a lot of wakelocks on my phone and reduces my battery life even on sleep state
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Fadawah:
What tweaks, if I may ask? :D
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] jaavaa:
Hello,

just did a fresh install of this rom (4.80 and newest GAPPS). However the phone keeps crashing randomly while doing something. Also seems like when the phone is being charged, it freezes more often. Only way to get out of the freeze is to pull the battery or do power+voldown+home combo to force restart.

I used 4.70 version before, and it worked just fine.. Then I updated it by just flashing the 4.8 on top of it and installint GAPPS(with cache and dalvik wipe).

Crashes started since the upgrade, so I decided to do clean install (wipe everything -> fresh 4.8). I have not restored any data (except whatsapp conversations and nova launcer backup..)

What could cause this?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] neoxyrel:
What version of GAPPS you installed? If its for 4.3 it is not compatible with Sentinel 4.80. Try installing the GAPPS version of 2013812 for 4.2.2

Great ROM! Kudos! but voice activated camera shutter option?

Hi,

I am a Sentinel ROM user from a long time, and in version 4.x there was an option in the camera app to use Voice to take pictures (under timer), but I can't find this option in 5.0?

Is the option no longer available, or am I missing something?

If the option is not available, can someone point me to the APK of the previous camera app with voice option?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Minerael:
Hello, Ive just installed this rom mainly because its supposed to have better battery life then normal cyanogen, am I right? If so, could you say how much better is it? Of course i cant reach battery life as on stock...

Thanks in advance ;)

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] passenger001:
It's good.

Battery life is the best of all the ROMs i've tried. Combined with Greenify I'm getting a full 48 hours of moderate use on a year-old N7100.

You of course don't have the features of Touchwiz like SmartStay and all the SPen stuff so I guess that saves up some battery. There are 3rd party apps that do the same things but again that will drain your battery faster, so try to get along without them.

I do miss the voice-activated camera though, so someone please tell me how to get this on SentinelROM 5.0!! :mad:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Mad_Wolf:
hello I installed this rom 2 days ago and I'm very happy with it

I wanna ask something about the app drawer can we change the row and column grid of it ? or do we have to install a launcher

Also can we change the colors to be more colder

Try getting a theme with darker colors or change the icons manually through a launcher such as nova or apex

Is it safe to flash your ROM directly over Sotmax ? Will there be any IMEI issues ?

Is anyone else using Apex launcher with Sentinel ROM? I'm getting a weird bug with it - if I put phone & messaging icons in the first slot of the dock, after some time that folder simply turns into one icon, that of the web browser. Haven't done extensive testing, but if I put those icons ina folder on another slot in the dock, they seem to work fine.

No biggie, but it does seem kinda silly.

UPDATE: After 3 days, today it started to act very buggy. The phone freezes for no reason, even just checking email in gmail app.
