btw cm explorer and total commander aren't able to detect the internal storage by default. the bookmark for int storage is wrong and also with total commander I have to manually choose the folder. not sure whether this is an issue or if it is my fault even though I didn't modify anything. maybe others can share their impressions?

and nice to hear that fixes might be around. always greatly appreciated ;)
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] AlienSr1:
I got the same issue.

I think google changed something in the storage system, again.

The new location is /data/media/0/.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Try using SuperSU for root, you should find it better for storage stuff - some mount stuff was an issue in the CM one.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] lolmensch:
and again it worked. (at least for the cm file explorer) thank you for your time.

Reminder for others:

You need to update binary via recovery.

I would really appreciate, if you could look into the Bluetooth, especially with 4.0 with low energy support... only if something was changed or is going to be changed (if possible!)
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] lu1gj3s:
Works great for me. Thanks for your efforts OP!
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] crypta:
Needs? Depends on your use case.

It doesn't have gapps included.

Do you need gapps? Only if you don't need your privacy.

Apps can be restored via titanium or installed via fdroid.

Calendar&tasks and contacts can be synced via caldav and carddav.

Maps and mail have plenty of alternatives out there.

So no, you don't need gapps! ;)

This is an excellent ROM! Stable, fast and secure. Thank you. I changed from Resurrection remix to CM and I am very satisfied. All sensors are working again, which I believed death. Unfortunately my wars Xposed framework will not in the hallways, which I need for various things such as for Greenify ... And the phone signal is not displayed properly, even though the signal is very strong. A screenshot can not be included .. Maybe someone has a hint how I can fix this errors? I love this ROM, and can live with some mistakes :) Thank you!

Hi pulser_g2

Just to tell you that I really love reading your post! :angel: You're a nice source of information for people like me.

Thanks again for all I do. :cool:

I have XPrivacy since the first release so I'm fine :p

I'm going to try this CM build WITHOUT GApps of course :laugh:
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] jcrompton:
I didn't quite understand your question re Xposed but if I understood correctly - there is a patch that will make Android 4.3 work -- mine does

Just flashed the 2nd of august build lol.... Great work though, thanks ! :)

Can I dirty flash?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] albsat:
Thanks . Is center clock option included? I will be downloading later on,...
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] lu1gj3s:
Dirty flash NOT RECOMMENDED. For me anyway lol... full wipe and all fine again ::)
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Not yet, I will add it when I've stabilised the rest of the stuff. The patch is made and tested though :)
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Petteri:

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] AlienSr1:
Worked fine, thanks.

The newest version of PhilZ recovery has a option as well to change the mounting location of the internal storage.

I just git one problem: When flashing the su-binary it said: "Rom may flash default recovery on boot" I chose " Disable Recovery flashing.

Now it keeps asking me every time I reboot from the recovery and even if I choose not to disable recovery flashing, it does not flash any recovery.

Would you consider adding xprivacy by default in your Rom, as you consider it a valuable tool to our privacy?

Maybe preconfigured to work at best...
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] gaurav2009:
Initial expressions of 7 Aug build

*Bluetooth share fc came 2 times after installing the rom(Full Wipe)

*Can't get rid off cell broadcasts even after turning everything off in setting>more>cell broadcasts....if any solution please tell...

*Locking the screen blinks for a second
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
No, I'd rather not do that, since it's not really practical to preinstall this tool without users being aware of how to use it.

What you can do though, is set up your device to not remove Xposed Framework after each reflash (install it, and push this file to /system/addon.d): https://github.com/pulser/UsefulScripts/blob/master/addon.d/99Xposed_framework.sh

That will keep Xposed framework between installs.

I don't want to add XPrivacy by default as it's regularly updated, and also it needs the user to learn how to properly use it - I can't "preconfigure" it for every app, and it's not just safe to rely on a set of defaults for now. Maybe in future there could be more of a clear ROM-wide feature, but at the moment I think it would be rather difficult to implement right now, in a sane way :)
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Bluetooth share may FC a couple of times, but you should find BT works better (AOSP quality).

Not sure RE cell broadcasts.

RE lockscreen, Settings > Display, disable "screen off animation"?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] gaurav2009:
lockscreen ok now please see screenshot that cell broadcasts,one ques is it safe to delete the cell broadcast apk from system?

*i noticed one more thing NOTHING MAJOR in about screen when u tap 3-4 time on SElinux status it just hangs and restarts...

New ROM user

I have been using Omega by indie for the last 9 months (v7 through to v18) on my GT-N7100. It’s a great ROM and I had absolutely no problems with it. But I got bored of 4.1.2 and wanted to try out a 4.3 ROM so I installed the 20130802 version of this one yesterday. I know pulser_g2 doesn’t approve of gapps but I installed that too – I used Ryuinferno’s version from here

So far so good, I like the ROM, it is very smooth. I have used CM before on other devices so it was a little nostalgic but exciting at the same time! I’m gonna try it out for a week or two and see how it goes. Thanks to pulser_g2 :highfive:
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Petteri:
Just running 07.08 Version since last 2 hours, works great, lockscreen without glitches, Email with glitches and Browser too! After running lockscreen in landscape Apex Launcher doesnt start correct! Widgets will not load directly! Great work
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Darkje:
[MENTION=327925]pulsar[/MENTION]_g2 is till have many glitches in the ui. Like system resolution errors.

Biggest probleem is that my bleutooth cannot connect to my carkit anymore endless FC.

Further more screen rotation is smooth and the rest works really good.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] albsat:
I can't provide a catlog but here is my feedback:

1) screenshot works

2) I get a lot of fc in Bluetooth (need to press ok)

3) keyboard doesn't work but I keep an alternative keyboard

4) super smooth

Hope and believe things get better add they are in this Rom. I hope battery life would improve as well.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] AlienSr1:
I just did a clean install with august 7th version. Took quite some time to install, then first thing I see after it booted: Bluetooth FC :p.

Other than that and the graphic glitches in some apps, everything works fine.

Question: Do I have to re-flash gapps every time I update the rom? For some reason they disappeared when I updated to previous versions.

When updating the official cm versions you don't have to re-flash the gapps.

Oh and there is no 4.3 gallery? I can't open photospheres.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] pnsdhrn:
Dear Pulser,does this ROM support ExFat formatted SdCard?Mine is 64 GB SanDisk Class 10 formatted in ExFat.Also which recovery do you recommend,Philz or TWRP?Waiting with thanks...
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Should work fine.

I suggest not using Philz recovery, as it appears to be somewhat non standard, compared to TWRP. TWRP is fully open source, I am not aware of Philz recovery being open source.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] crypta:
related to recovery I use CWM touch and it seems to does it job.

but now to my bug reports:

I had some trouble with my caldav/carddav. first restore, I relate the error to TB, which did nothing than close the settings, if you want to add such an account.

After a reboot it worked, BUT forgot some settings.

Same at TB, backupfolder not found. this could be related to the time of testing.. as I was rebooting often, it may have been at a time, when my external SD (fat) wasn't quite ready.

both of the problems could also be related to rights... I let them fix by CWM and keeping an eye on it.

also I do have some grafical glitch with a widget of business calendar: in the top of a 2x2 widget (with 69% occupacy) the "head" has some artefacts.

launcher is latest nova prime, and it is on the start tile. (if that makes a difference).

another grafical experience I had while I was installing rom manager (to check if my cwm is latest) - there where an ad (besides premium licence *sigh*) and the screen strobed in and out. only adaway brought some peace. while this was... I nearly saw only the ad.. everything else blinked and blacked in and out.

and bluetooth connection seems broken for headsets. filetransfer with macbook was ok; pairing with plantronics headset also worked... but no connection... neither after reboot.

beside this... seems usable. will roll back my needed tools and mention bugs when I find them.

anyone has openVPN working with this rom? it checks all ok.. starts.. but at loading my connections... it justs resets.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] pnsdhrn:
Thank you Pulser.Also would like to know whether the Camera is made bug free now.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] AlienSr1:
The camera still freezes after you take one picture. Close and open again: Unable to connect to camera.

Focal works pretty good though. [MENTION=2178960]pulser_g2[/MENTION] As written in my earlier post, there is no 4.3 gallery, so no picsphere/photosphere..
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] lolmensch:
no freeze when you manually install a 3rd party camera or the 4.3 camera incl photosphere from the galaxy s4 dump somewhere in this forum. focal is nice but still not reliable enough for me.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
I have no intention to put a "binary" closed source camera/gallery app into this ROM, as it would not be open source.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] AlienSr1:
Sure, you don't have to. I don't mind installing the 4.3 camera myself.

Does CM have plans on building a own gallery app? Or will they include the "real" 4.3 gallery? I'd guess they can't, because they also can't include gapps in the rom.

Without a proper 4.3 gallery the picsphere feature of focal is not really that usefull, right? (well except for sharing on g+ I guess)
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] levin143:
Same here.. Tried for hours but the bugs I've just experienced were the graphic glitches (browser and sometimes the status bar) and the camera (after the first shot)..
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] lolmensch:
can confirm that but this doesn't happen on every pic, though it happens quite often. I guess we just need focal now and we are good to go :D
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Reb0rn:
Phone.apk is old and does not support T9 contacts search... Was it for compability?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] lolmensch:
I guess it is cm10 phone apk therefore it doesn't work with t9 yet. we don't have an aosp build so if the cm team decides it'll stick with it we won't get the 4.3 phone apk.

you could try pushing a phone.apk from a mako aosp build to your /system/app folder or will there be missing libs? I suppose it might work.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
No, not anything I did. This is a build out of the CM tree at that time, it must be getting worked on or something
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] scimitar:
The same malfunction of the camera with me. Another question. Works you root/superuser?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] matejdro:
Focal seems to work quite fine.

Here is one I built myself: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6999250/CyanogenMod-Focal.apk

Root works great after flashing SuperSU. Even better than original CM root (no need to wait stupid 5 seconds before allowing root).
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] makkeonmies:
pretty good for first unofficial build! can confirm that camera "freeze" after first pic also. also found out that "killing" recent apps(have to be +8 apps) crashes trebuchet if u quickly go to app drawer after that and swipe to next tab.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Trebuchet is buggy on all devices - it needs some work after the update from its maintainer.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] NeverFlash:
My phone display keep blinking, can't display properly. Which recover is suitable for flash the rom? I'm using philz touch. Thanks for the rom
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Petteri:
Using PhilzTouch too, seems to work, flashing was no problem.... first impression seems great, just installing Titanium backup...hopefully everything will work from 4.2.2. backup on Parandroid Rom! :) Great. many THX!

Camera Freezes

It appears that I can take multiple pics while using CameraFx without freezing ....
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Ogy77:
I use this rom about 10 hours,stable,fast,nice battery for start,but too big bug first picture take with camera and freeze,second bug cant download nothing from market,hope soon CM team fix and rom will be much better.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] xantrk:
Does the graphical glitches in 10.1 still here?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] jcrompton:
I do not have problems with market download. I had to kill the Playstore app and restart one time but after that it worked no problem.

And as above, CameraFx doesn't freeze for me when taking multiple pics
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Ogy77:
I try but cant downlad nothing from market,bad information from server and some numbers?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] jcrompton:
Maybe try to clear data from Playstore and restart your phone and see if that helps.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Ogy77:
And this now I do nothing again same,maybe this can solved if flash again gapps?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] levin143:
Give it some time guys, we all know that it is the early stages of 4.3 and the fact that it was ported to N7100 means there are bugs to be handled.. The important thing is that with this beginning, 4.3 build will come out of the box for N7100 sooner or later when the devs get the hang of it..

For the mean time, just enjoy what we can have for now.

Why so negative?

I get your point of wanting to be independant of google and I even agree on some points discussed over the last few pages because privacy sure is an important point.

But I also think the Idea of cm was (and still is) to enhance the android experience, not making it more complicated.

If they are going to offer another gallery with the ability to display photospheres, i'll probably use that over googles, but for now there is something missing without 4.3 gallery imo. Same goes for the gapps, for me usability/comfort goes over the privacy concerns discussed few pages back (at least for the moment).

I don't want to say pulser should include it or something like that, his rom - his decisions.

To fix the keyboard, put the LatinImeDictionaryPack.apk in system/app set permissions to rw-r-r & replace the libjni_latinime.so in system/lib and set permissions to rw-r-r.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] $ideWinder:
No problems till now with camera here. Are you on the latest build? In fact even the gallery that supports photosphere works.

Rename the gallery2 to gallery2.bak in the system/app folder. Download this . Do not flash it. Only extract the GalleryGoogle.apk and liblightcycle.so and place them in the respective folders and set permissions. Works without a hitch.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] AlienSr1:
Yes I am on the latest build.

I have been using another 4.3 Camera, I will try yours and see if it works ;)

Edit: Nope, still the same issue: Camera freezes after taking one picture, gallery works fine.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] rashid.fairus:
latest build:

-smoooottthhhhh:D

-graphic glitch when lock device

-camera freeze after 1st shot, then try focal,"unable to connect to camera, maybe because I tried stock camera 1st

-reboot phone, then never boot-up anymore, dont know why

via Note 2
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] crypta:
It's not a negative attitude - read international news, what will come could be considered negative ;).

But so far I only said, that there is no reason to implement any gapps component into CM. And there are more reasons than one:

to Gapps in CM:

First at all: google prohibits it. (As said earlier, they developed "core components" with a closed licence)

Second: gapps have a closed licence...

Third: it is easy to add them, but far worse to remove them.

to privacy in general and why it should concern + a bit history:

In the past, an OS came as... an OS. Later they added distinguishing features like browsers, mail clients, etc and called them a part of the os. In fact they are neither a part of the OS nor services in general.

So shouldn't we come back to a time, where we use a plattform and choose our own tools from different vendors, instead of using all tools&services from the same giant, shovelling it comfortable down our throats?

back to topic:

some grafical glitches are also here

a test with a sony ericsson mbw 150 bt clock and openwatch was also unsuccessfull. pairing ok, but no "stable connection".

and I have another strange behavior: maildroid closes, and I don't know why. with or without xprivacy enabled. the problem came suddenly without interaction after the a reboot. it worked proberly after first setup.

I removed it, restored it, cleared cache and dalvik, but still closes direct after start.

also deleted all app data - so it starts - but after initiating first account, the same behavior.

one more general question:

the WAN, WLAN, Bluetooth icon turns blue if "connected". I noticed, it doesn't do it. not that I really care, but it is a nice additional information.

will a "stable SU" be implemented in the next release?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] crypta:
SOLVED:

another awkward bug/behavior with swype+dragon:

often, when I type or swype, the cursors moves into my signature, and puts the current word into it, sometimes also deletes the word before it.

I don't think, that it is exactly a swype problem, as it seems more cursor related.

SOLUTION:

disable smart editor within swype. it is a swype + 4.3 problem.

---------- Post added at 07:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:42 AM ----------

Testing the Swype bug. I read it's related to the smart editor feature. So I'm testing within this post and so far no problems. Seems to be a general 4.3 problem related to Swype only.

So, beside the problems of restoring wolfram alpha with tb, it finally there's a light at the end of the tunnel visible, using a vanilla cm without gapps.

Off-topic: e.g. the Amazon markets doesn't link THIS deep into the system,if properly xprivatised?

Or are there more..up-to-date options to f-droid. Amazon it's just a theoretical option..trading devil for beelzebub. ;)

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] lu1gj3s:
Works fine for me. I had the bluetooth share FC too but I forgot to flash gapps after installing your 07/08 build. This seems to be a user error and not related to your build.

For those experiencing these FCs, make sure to factory reset, flash 07/08 build, flash gapps (for 4.3), wipe cache and dalvik cache.

[MENTION=2178960]pulser_g2[/MENTION], I do experience graphic glitches, but I believe this is a cm 10.2 wide issue, is that correct? (parts of screen sometimes go black, for example when playing a gif).
