[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] NinjaPlease:
Same thing happens to me. I can receive text messages but I cannot send any text messages. :(

I am on the 9/25 nightly. Does anyone know how to fix? Any advice is greatly aprrecitated.

Thank you

My issue I think was due to build.prop edit to fix battery drain. I simply re flashed rom by doing a clean install. Fixes now but battery still sucks..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dragonmage:
To the people who say they have problems with battery drain, I've noticed (in my 09/21/13 version) that despite wifi being off via the toggle, when checking the battery status option it says that wifi was on the entire time. my fix for that was to turn wifi tether on and off and wifi on and off via toggles and then wifi correctly shows as off. also noticed with gps set to on gps was constantly connecting for no reason (or at least none that i saw). Turning off gps when not needed, and toggling the wifi and tether options, once per reboot seemed to fix most of my battery drain issues. and I rarely have random reboots with this version of PAC. where as the latest 4.2.2 version i had rebooted almost daily.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] tkdb:
I never keep my wifi, tether or GPS on. I basically always run from my network data, since I have unlimited. My battery stats say my screen and android system is whats draining my battery.

I also noticed that the keyboard does not have handwriting (s pen) support. is there a specific apk I need to download, since I no longer have S Pen, S planner, etc since flashing this ROM.

Thanks everyone! I really do like this ROM, just a couple of things to figure out still. I still don't know how to get my FB notifications to push through either.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] TopHatMatt:
Same issue and I've been able to reproduce it several times. Basically in the middle of a call, if my screen locks and I hit the screen lock button it will crash and show the boot animation. Running latest RC 09/22

Also, and this is an error you can reproduce, XDA Premium crashes when you attempt to use the default dictionary spell checker to correct a word. This only happens in the XDA app, not in messaging. Not sure if it's the app itself or PAC. All I know is, "Blame Tyler".

Also who is Tyler? And why am I to blame him? Is Tyler blownco?

Just installed on my t0lteatt running on Tmobile. No data/connectivity issues! LTE works great!

I haven't noticed any issues, camera seems to work. focal even took a couple pictures, but the sphere thing didn't work.

I'll be trying bluetooth soon and will let you guys know how it works.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] BigBison420:
Can anyone comment on the stability of the rom? i know its' still pretty new. I personally been running 4.1.2 because 4.2.2 was full of glitches
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] SwimDrewid:
It has been stable and purring like a kitten all day long for me -- running in phablet mode. Also running several xposed modules (greenify, xlocky, Android tuner)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jpeps:
Viper 4 android is only for 4.2 ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] topnomi:
it's been running smooth so far...

I was getting alot of random reboots on various 4.2.2 roms, none so far today. but it's only been a few hours since i flashed.

My bluetooth headset works fine. I'll report if my car BT works as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] celkin:
Haven't had too many issues with stability, no reboots all day, no data issues, camera works fine (haven't bothered with sphere). Only thing I'm noticing is a lot of graphical glitching with certain apps (Google currents and Pulse Reader mainly) when scrolling from screen to screen. Definitely not the end of the world.

Attempted enabling hw overlay in dev options but it doesn't seem to make a difference...

Overall, looking forward to seeing how this one progresses. :)

I'm on the build from the 22nd and same battery issues.

Incidentally I'm getting quite a few unexpected reboots. I'm going to try other kernels and see if things behave any better (worked for my nexus 7 also running pacman).

One last question: Anyone else use calengoo widgets and have it repeatedly crash on pacman roms on 4.3? 4.2.2 didn't do this to me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] vinnyj85:
My brightness keeps getting stuck and basically burning up my phone 115temps gota pull battery to stop
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Colonel Panic:
Have been running the nightly from the 28th and all is good. No absurd battery drain (now <10% per hour with screen and wifi on ~90% of the time), no FCs (well, one, but my friend was doing something stupid and it was just SystemUI), and working everything. I think I'm gonna stick with this build for a while. Also, Blacklist works for me.

Note: Wiped System Twice, Factory Reset, installed 9/28 build followed by gapps before rebooting.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] theindywilsons:
Though I'm about to flash 30th, 29th showed me a Samsung WEP 180 Bluetooth device most of the day (only commonality is the phone). Thought it was weird.

Edit: nevermind, a accidentally pocketed my Bluetooth headset and turned it on.

Its driving me crazy I been on this ROM for a while now and lately my phone has been burning up and running they full battery within a hr or 2 without much use at all I have GPS off, brightness all the way down and yes I clean installed blownco help a fan out plez
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
blownco is not psychic he cannot help you find the battery drain or the stuck process if you do not give him information.

Download Better Battery Stats (free on xda, paid in market), grant it root access and leave the phone on a table for an hour or so. Check partial/kernel wakelocks as well as alarms and you should see what is the culprit.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kaiso:
Just experienced a random reboot. First time for everything I guess.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] projekt1:
First reboot just happened. Phone was plugged in, received a text, the screen came on, then all of a sudden the PacMan icon started eating away its cookie crumbs (or whatever) aka rebooted itself.

Does anyone have the answer for constant reboots? What causes it and what's the cure?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] vinnyj85:
Seems my CPU is constantly locking at 1600
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] PRBajista:
Mine didnt lock on 1600 but it never went to deep sleep. Battery was draining fast even with the screen off. Im on another rom with the exact same apps and its deep sleeping. Not sure what caused it because bbs didnt show anything unusual. Cpu spy showed deep sleep as an unused state. This is with almost 3 hrs time. Wish I could figure it out as this rom is awesome but I had to fully charge my phone 2 times in a 10 hr day away from home.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kaiso:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] marinemansf:
Anyone having luck with a recent nightly without having random reboots? I'm on the 10/3 nightly, improved battery, but frequent restarts.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] projekt1:
I only experienced reboots after receiving a text message. Flashed 10/7 so I'll report back on the reboots.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ssewk2x:
I can confirm this as well. The only reboots I've seen have been during .. um .. textual activity. ;)

I also noticed that after one of these random reboots, there is a process called "sgif_daemon" or something like that which seems to be out of control and eating up a lot of CPU. If I don't catch it and kill it, then my battery will drain very fast. However, I use Elixit 2's TOP functionality to find it and kill it, and then everything is ok again. Maybe that info will help a developer get to the bottom of this issue.

And hey .. it's a nightly. I don't expect it to be perfect - even if it's usually pretty close.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] theoctagon:
I've only had reboots upon completion of a call when I hang up via Bluetooth. 10/06 is pretty fang solid.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DM_Sledge:
If you do get a random reboot definitely look for out of control processes. I noticed that on previous nightlies as well. Having said that no reboots on 10/7 as yet
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] marinemansf:
I'm 12 hrs into the 10/7 nightly and no reboots as of yet....wicked awesome rom guys. Keep up the good work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] projekt1:
Not a single reboot on 10/7 yet..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] LiQuiD_FeAR:
Whats the difference in downloads from t0lte and t0ltaatt? I used to flash t0lte on my sgh-i317. Flash the t0lteatt on the sgh-i317 from here on?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ssewk2x:
Assuming you have the AT&T USA Note 2, then yes, I'd go with t0lteatt.

And now for something completely different:

I'm using this ROM (Oct 7 nightly) with the latest Devil kernel (from Oct 3) - yesterday, my phone did something very strange:

I was doing nothing out of the ordinary (browsing Reddit, I think), when my phone experienced a very bad slow-down. The whole UI locked up for several minutes. While waiting for it to come back, the screen turned off and it wouldn't wake up for a few more minutes. I was just about to start ripping off my case and do a battery pull when it came back (note I did NOT do the battery pull) to life and started running at normal speeds again.

But .. here's the weird part .. the display was completely inverted. It was like looking at a photographic negative of what it should have been. Blues were red, whites were black, etc. I poked around some settings but couldn't find anything that I could adjust to get it back to normal. I even tried killing the systemUI, but the color inversion remained after everything came back. The only thing that solved it was a reboot.

This has got to be one of the stranger things I've ever seen my phone do .. and it's happened a few times before this, too. That's why I'm posting it now - because it doesn't seem like a one-off fluke.

Anybody got any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] theoctagon:
Sounds like you divided by zero.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ssewk2x:
And now, for another completely different thing:

Remember the questions about random battery drain? Remember how I noticed that a process called /system/bin/gsiff_daemon was possibly running amok, and that if I killed that process, everything went back to normal?

Well .. I did some research. Turns out, that particular binary is a proprietary sensor interface daemon that doesn't appear to be used. In fact, it might even conflict with whatever AOSP ROMs are using to interface to the sensors. There are lots of articles on the Internets that recommend renaming or removing the binary altogether.

So, I thought I'd give that a try. I went in as root and manually deleted the thing right out of /system/bin, then rebooted my phone. When it came back up, I immediately noticed that just about everything seemed faster and snappier - even GPS locks. I used Elixir2 to make sure all the sensors were working right, and they are all fine. For the first time, I was able to get a GPS lock on my phone while sitting at my desk at work in a very RFI-rich and lousy signal environment! I'm also pretty sure I won't be seeing battery drain anymore, and the jury is still out on the random reboots - though I did notice in the logcat I took before making this change that the gsiff_daemon process likes to segfault a lot ...

Anyway. Maybe it would be a good idea to try and remove this file from the ROM's device tree(s) ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Colonel Panic:
Just renamed gsiff_daemon to gsiff_daemon.bak. At first I thought I messed it up because GPS status was showing me rapidly spinning in a circle, but Maps locked on fast (the issue went away btw). I'll see if it fixes battery drain. Good find!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ssewk2x:
I noticed the spinning circle, too. I recalibrated my compass and moved my phone farther away from my laptop, and it settled down and read accurately.

I guess the compass works better if it's not right next to powerful rotating magnetic fields, lol!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] projekt1:
Which would be the better method?

BTW, thanks for your input fellas!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] phaze1:
More than likely to just rename it. I also renamed it with a .bak extension and no problems but doesn't hurt to just keep a backup. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] topnomi:
I tried just deleting it. after rebooting i couldn't get data. I had to re-flash the rom.

I guess i should have just renamed it :silly:

I'm using tmobile on the at&t Note II
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Colonel Panic:
By the way, battery life is much better after renaming the daemon! 7 hrs in and around 40% with moderate to heavy use (Wifi OR mobile data on the whole time, screen on most of the time). Keep in mind this is with a nearly year old battery, too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] LiQuiD_FeAR:
Mine too. On att shg-i317 and getting -7ma every 10 min while screen off. Before I moved that file onto extsd I was wasting 127ma every ten min. Battery has improved w/ this tweak for me.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] phubarr:
Has anybody else noticed that on this ROM, the proximity sensor seems to be stuck in a permanently-on state?

Observing this condition can be done in a dark room with the phone on, where you'll see a faint red light being emitted from the sensor's infrared LED.

The effects of this could range from causing a slow drain on the battery to shortening the life of the infrared LED due to continuous use.

In testing, I've personally noticed this behavior immediately following a fresh flash (at language selection prompt). Aside from the possibly this is due to a bug, it may also be due to a unique default setting found only on PAC-man.

I've tested out a few 4.3 ROMs and I haven't noticed this occurring in any other 4.3 ROMs (AOKP, Slim, Carbon, PA). I've verified it doesn't happen on Carbon.

Does anybody out there have any clue to what is causing this? Most importantly, how to get it to turn off. PAC-man is (by a wide margin) my favorite ROM.

Thanks for any input guys! Late night poster here, please forgive typos/grammar/spelling/etc. Passing out in... 3... 2...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] theindywilsons:
I noticed it at least before the 9th but I don't see it anymore, I've uninstalled Facebook since then because it was killing my battery, maybe that's it?

Anyone else still getting soft reboots? What can be done?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ssewk2x:
I haven't had one for a couple days now ... Not since I got rid of /system/bin/gsiff_daemon

With OP's permission, I can (tomorrow) create and post a flashable zip that will do that dirty work for you.

EDIT: one thing that has been happening, though, is that I seem to randomly lose root!? I'm trying things out using Koush's latest #superuser package (flashed in TWRP separately), and so far so good. But I wonder if his latest stuff has been incorporated into the built-in superuser stuff, and if not, then should it be?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Colonel Panic:
I haven't had that issue, but I'm on the 10/7 build. The only issue I've had with root is that I couldn't adb push/pull properly until I ran Chainfire's adb insecure, but that's a very minor issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ssewk2x:
I downloaded Koush's latest superuser.zip and flashed it in twrp, and I haven't had any more root issues since then. So, I'm keeping a copy of it and just gonna add it to the queue when I flash updates, and we'll see how it goes.

I see there's a new nightly .. must .. flash ... soon!

You see someone already made a custom build of the Devil Kern and got it to work and explained the reason why. I personally use the Thor Kernel and it too works fine. As for N.E.A.K I don't think they have updated it to work either.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ravian29:
thanks for updating, now i also think there is something incompatible in both kernels, i would install Thor kernel if it support voodoo sound module.:highfive:

That would be me, lol. Be patient - the fix is already merged into the devil kernel source. Just waiting on him to release a new build.

Because of the nature of the problem, it's not shocking that another kernel had the same failure.

Pardon my ignorance, I am missing Samsung's apps on it, for e.g. S Planner, S Note etc. How can I get those back? Also, I am having hard time connecting to Samsung Kies. Does this ROM allow to connect to Kies?
