[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Truetek:
Alright, I can't figure this out.:confused: I need a little help here guys.

Apps are randomly crashing, then restarting. Easiest way for me to reproduce the problem is:

1) Boot up phone.

2) Start VLC playing some music.

3) Browse with Chrome.

VLC will crash in the background. When that happens, I know my launcher has crashed as well, because when I hit Home, chrome minimizes and all I have is the wallpaper for a few seconds, until the launcher restarts and pops all the icons and widgets back into place.

Even weirder, I stopped everything, started VLC, played some music, then put the phone in my pocket. 6 minutes later, it crashed on its own! :( But that only happened once so far...

First thought, it's the launcher?

I thought this might be my launcher (Next Launcher 3d), so I tried using Nova and the stock Trebuchet. Same thing, restarts along with VLC.

Second thought, it's the media player?

So the next step was to replace the media player. Tried Apollo, Google Music and the built in ES music player. All crash the same way as VLC. :(

Third thought, System setting?

Since this is crashing both my media player and my launcher, maybe it's system wide? Normally, not a problem that android kills unused apps in the background, but the launcher should persist as well as the media player (while playing).

3.1 - CPU clock/governor?

So I try to revert the clock from 192-1890 back to stock 384-1512 using trickstermod (because I have Uber Kernel). Also tried changing the governor from Interactive to Ondemand. No luck.

3.2 - Memory Management (ZRAM)?

After that, I thought maybe it's my zRam? I normally disable it, but I enabled it for 10%, 18% and 25%. Still no change.

3.3 - I/O scheduler?

Now I'm a little out of my league, but I try to play with this as well, tried deadline, bfq, cfq and sio. Issue persists.

Maybe I flashed wrong?

Now I'm in full paranoid mode. What if I caused this by flashing wrong? So I do the following:

Recovery: used TWRP 2.5.0.0 - 2.6.3.0 and BlownFuse's special cwm for 4.3 too.

- Clean wipe - fully clean, I select all except external sd.

- Install Carbon Rom.

- Install Gapps (tried CM gapps, SPEC-Gapps, Banks Gapps)

- boot into Rom, Setup my Google account

- reboot into recovery and install Uber 3.2

TWRP 2.6.x.x gave multiple issues with installations, sometimes Rom, sometimes Uber, sometimes both...

I tried searching the forums, but I'm not sure what to search for exactly? App crashing? App reloading? bad flash?

Getting desperate here, thinking I should just flash back to 4.2.2, but I didn't have these problems earlier on with 4.3

Sorry for the long post, just wanted to give as much info as I could, in case someone else had/has/gets in a similar situation.

If you read until here, Thanks a lot! :highfive:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] warfenix:
How long are you waiting before you reboot and flash urber?. You should wait at least 15 mins. Then reboot and flash urber.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Truetek:
I take my time setting up my Google accounts, installing some basic apps (like a launcher, Tasker, etc) and configuring them. I never actually timed myself though...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] warfenix:
I would just fresh install completely. Then literaly let it sit for 15-20 mins then flash urber. Let it sit again. I've never had a problem. If it still happens its probably a bad download or it just doesn't like your phone
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Poriotis:
Power Button Wake

I'm on build 10/25 of 4.3 and overall this version is pretty stable. Since 10/25 I've only had one FR.

However, this version has the ubiquitous bug of the screen delay wake from power button (is there an official name for this bug?). Does any one know of a work around for this issue?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] xZeroMancerx:
By using uber kernel and setting gov to Wheatley. It has been mentioned that it is a solution for the delay but I've had problems with latest kernels on all updated ROMs to include carbon,beanstalk, and luiquidsmooth. If you check the dev threads, you will see my statements
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Poriotis:
Thanks for the reply and suggestion! :)

Funny you mentioned those ROMs, because I was just about to try the latest beanstalk and luiquidsmooth. I think I'll wait.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] xZeroMancerx:
You can select the lockscreen to none and that bug seems to be fixed..I forgot to mention that earlier
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Halo13Ghost:
Love carbon to death. I get the best responsiveness from this Rom and the best battery life. I would like to enquire if anyone is having a problem similar to mine though and can offer some insight. On occasion while using no application in specific the screen will freeze and then all the pixels start to fade and the whole screen eventually turns white. Does anyone else have this issue? I'm beginning to think there is something wrong with with my gpu.

Side note: I did a clean install using the latest twrp and because I'm paranoid I wipe 3 or 4 times before I installed and made sure to clear delvic cache and cache before reboot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] xZeroMancerx:
Try to disable the hw overlays

Do you use any kind of kernel apps like andromizer or trickster mod ? If so what kind of settings ? Is that problem your facing prevelant with other ROMs or just carbon ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Halo13Ghost:
I do not use any kernel apps. And hw overlays is disabled. I've only had this issue with carbon. One app in particular will trigger this happening the most. That is when I use Instagram to take a photo. And it did seem for a while that it was only Instagram related, it it happens with other apps on occasion now too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] xZeroMancerx:
Well I'm just throwing out some ideas but try a new battery...use a more stable version of carbon or try a different ROM... So you checked the box within developer settings correct ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Poriotis:
I get this freeze-up too from time to time. I don't have HW Overlays disabled nor use any Kernel apps. I've noticed this problem also in Hellybean (10/24).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Halo13Ghost:
Sorry for the delayed response. Work had me super busy last couple days. Yes I checked hw overlay in developer options. This is the most stable ROM I've tried and I get 7 hour battery life versus only 3 or 4 with others. The fade to white screen question was mostly posted out of curiosity. If no one else is getting it I was considering hardware vs software. I am considering a new battery though. Any opinions on what's best for extended life but still fits in original case?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] realeze:
Really good experience with Anker 2700mAh. Not sure if it qualifies as extended life but for me it is better than stock and other supposed ~3000mAh batteries...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] xZeroMancerx:
Ravpower battery, not sure the specs and I haven't done any better battery tests but w/ minimal use. I know I can pull at least 2 full days and a half a day out of it...50% charge won't last all day (obviously) but its a good not overly expensive battery....like 11/12 bucks from amazon

I'm only pulling partial downloads using IE and Chrome with the link. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Love the ROM!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] warfenix:
I can't get any of them to download either tried 4 different browsers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 2sl0w:
That is really weird they download just fine on my phone....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Helios909:
I've been using Carbon on other devices; finally put this on my I717 and I have been extremely impressed so far. I used TWRP 2.6.1.0 and am running the 11-03-13 nightly and I haven't discovered a single issue with it yet. As I get using the phone more I will report if I have any anomalous findings, but for right now I'm happier with this than I have been with any Android 4.2.X ROM I've ever been running on this device. Thank you for all your hard work on this wonderful ROM!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Halo13Ghost:
Link finally worked!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!! Server must have been bogged down or something flashing now!:fingers-crossed:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Helios909:
Okay so the few things I've noticed:

Phone will become quite laggy in random sporadic instances, reboot seem to cure the problem.

Bluetooth sometimes doesn't want to turn on, reboot seems to fix.

Waking the phone with the power button is quite an issue, sometimes the phone will not turn on at all and I have to reboot. I tried installing UBER kernel and it borked the phone every time, wouldn't even load past lock screen.

The MMS module has an option to uncheck "split SMS to 160 char" but when you uncheck it, it re-checks itself all the time and splits all the text messages, even when the next line "Multi-part SMS" is enabled.

Call echo is still present, although I believe that's still a known issue with AOSP or something?

I have had several random lock-ups, have to manually reboot. Someone earlier said to use TWRP 2.5 instead of 2.6, has anyone verified this improves stability of the ROM?

Overall, thoroughly impressed with this ROM; features, customize-ability, etc...

Thanks for all the hard work!

I tried flashing the newest Viper with Carbon and it tells me that the installation fails, but doesn't say why. Haven't really researched it more than that.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JamieD81:
played with this launcher a bit ago, its fun to play with, but not a very decent daily, its just another one of those over priced over fancy launchers that slow down after some use :P

but 16$ to free its worth grabbing to have on your phone to show off to iphone people :P

new nightly is up, they should now be fixed and be ready for you on a nightly/semi nightly basis :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ZacksBuilds:
Awesome! Can I dirty flash over your latest carbon build?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nikko370:
I did and everything works fine. Just do basic wipes
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ZacksBuilds:
So like wipe cache & dalvik then flash ROM. Then wipe caches?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nikko370:
That's what I did wiped before and after
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ZacksBuilds:
Dirty flashed every seems fine. But before I flashed official whenever I open the app drawer it lags. Like its no biggie just bugs me :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JEZZEJAMEZ:
Dirty flash is OK. but if you want to have a flawless ROM please full wipe..

The 0609 Nightly has been working great. 1 random reboot so far (probably self induced) but no more temporary freezes. Very nice.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 2sl0w:
6/10 is running strong. Only thing that would make this better is Jamie's kernel... :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JamieD81:
tomorrow night if builds work halo will be included :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Helios909:
This lockup/reboot while typing has happened to me as well with the newest nightly. I tried disabling the gestures to see if that helps. Some ROM's seem to have entirely lag free keyboards, and this is one that has average amounts of lag - I type waaaaay faster than it's able to visually and haptically keep up, but it still captures all of my key-presses. It's so much better typing on a lag free keyboard though, so I might experiment with using others to see if it helps. Maybe something to note for future releases.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Halo13Ghost:
I can attest to using 2.5 over 2.6.0.1 or greater. My phone would install the new 4.3 ROMs, and would boot. However after one reset or turn off phone would get stuck in infinite boot. TWRP 2.5 is the only one that works well for my note.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JamieD81:
2.5 or bust! ☺

QuickPic

Anyone else having an issue with QuickPic causing reboots? I have cleared data on the app and Media Storage, rebooted, still can't get app to load.

Anyone have an idea?

EDIT:

I found the answer. The .mp4 files are causing the app to crash. I put them all in a .videos folder to hide from the app to allow it to load. I hope this helps someone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 2sl0w:
I was having a similar problem with the gallery on the 11/1 build. Fixed it with the same process. I am using stock kitkat and it feels nearly the same as carbon without all the fun stuff enabled.

I forgot how easy we have it here as I was typing in adb commands to mess with the nexus5. Jamie thanks for all of your hard work and for making the note fantastic to use.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] warfenix:
I'm happy to say I haven't had a single reboot on nightly 11/11 :) thanks the gods. Running newest uber as well
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Poriotis:
How did you get 11/11? Every time I go to the downloads, the latest version is only at 10/27 :confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Helios909:
Running the newest UBER for a day now and I have also not had a single issue, whereas before I was having RR and lock-screen wake issues. I also feel the phone is far less laggy and unresponsive with the kernel. The battery life is also phenomenal! An essential pairing in my opinion - this is the best combination I've run on my phone to date.

Anyone having the "show notification count" option in status bar -> notification settings not working 100%? It seems to show the notification count over one icon on some things (play store updates) but not other things (text messages, e-mail). Anyone have a fix or have experienced this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Poriotis:
The latest Carbon is getting better and better. With the addition of the Uber Kernel it even works better ;)

I installed and used the 11/17 nightly for 6 days until it FR'd and LSOD'd on me. The ROM during this period ran pretty stable. The only issues I had was the SD card mounting message and the touch keys stopped working on me twice.

I have to say, Carbon + Uber has given me the most stable experience out of all the latest ROMs. Keep up the good work. :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hfam95:
That's interesting because I've never had success with uber and this rom. System UI takes forever to initial load.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] warfenix:
I've never had a problem either
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Poriotis:
What was the version (nightly) of Carbon and Uber you installed?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hfam95:
11/17 and latest uber
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] warfenix:
Latest uber is for KitKat so don't use it. There is the right one in the uber thread meant for 4.3 make sure you grab that onr
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hfam95:
I thought about that after I sent that. I've been using carbon and uber when it was for 4.3.1. Even previously.

I've been on carbon for a while. It was with the previous version though. I will check again. This isn't anything new though.

Update: Yeap. 13678. Dated November 9. Still get freezes. System UI takes forever for the initial load. If I get a RR then the 5 minute system UI freeze unless it reboots before it comes up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] yhenks:
hi guys i have not used carbo rom for a while went back to stock but i wanna try it again, reading alot of good reviews about it. but i have 2 question, what version of gapps do i install, and where can i get the latest uber kernal. thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Halo13Ghost:
I am on carbon nightly 11/17. Gapps 20130813. With processor set to interactive and I/o on deadline. Using app "mobie" reports 7 hrs battery on full charge. Using app "quadrant" highest benchmark score was 2943.

Flashed uber build jb 43 Nov09 jd 81

Mobie: still 7 hrs on full battery

Same settings for processor and I/o

Quadrant benchmark:3288

No random fc, no random reboots, only issue is screenshot won't capture. Used latest cwm to flash everything

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Halo13Ghost:
Do I need to fix permissions afterwards?

---------- Post added at 03:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:19 PM ----------

Sure will. I do have one further test I conducted today. Stability at low battery. 15% battery the Rom become a little unresponsive, especially under processor high demand, YouTube internet games and such. Had one reboot and one fc. Charged phone to 33% and tested from 33 to 15. Confirmed that sounds 22% battery or below instability. But it could also just be my battery kind of old.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hfam95:
So I just installed uber. After boot, 10 minutes ago, my status bar has yet to appear. Menus work though.

I know that's not normal because with stock kernel I get status bar within 10 seconds.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Halo13Ghost:
This happened to me with 11/14 carbon build. I had to clear cache and delvic cash

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] warfenix:
You have mp4's in your gallery. You have to delete them or rename them I believe. Some reason 4.3 Roms don't like mp4 files downloaded on other Roms.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] developweb:
I found that my mp4s still played if using a file explorer to open them. Like warfenix said you can delete them but if they are something you want to hold onto you can put them in a folder with a .nomedia file and it should no longer fc your gallery and can still be listed using an app like mxplayer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] yhenks:
thanks will try that. i downloaded some of my "supernatural and vampire dairies" episodes on my phone some do have .mp4 extensions which i renamed to .avi and i also connected to me laptop and made the laptop search the internal and external hdd for .mp4 files found none (after renaming the few i had) but it still fc. i use solid explorer and i have a folder called movies if i open that to it fc. and i reall like this rom dont wanna go back to stock. also when u say nomedia file what do u mean, also even if i changed the extension of the file will the phone still see it as a .mp4

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kellison007:
I believe so. There is a changelog here that mentions they won't probably update for awhile:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Zcp6iVWVw_7iH-ErnKgkYy3r5QuqV8PHFoQMb8hoBwQ/mobilebasic

So I'm assuming they are focusing most their efforts on a beta/stable kitkat build.

Which is a bummer for 4.3. Love the ROM but I start getting SystemUI crashes when I do some heavy status bar tweaking. Its very stable if you don't touch anything ;)

Also, for Screenshots to work I created this /storage/sdcard0/Pictures/Screenshots folder. Or something like that.

Carbon folks, would really appreciate any small feedback if available such as our device is abandoned/supported or maybe a week-or-2 estimate of maybe a beta build. Thank you again for your awesome work this puppy.
