Boot came back to haunt me

Well, after almost a day of usage, the boot loop came back to haunt me. Don't know why again because I had a few reboots in between. I might as well report of my experience thus far.

The ROM overall performs well. The swipes and sweeps the ROM does are cool but in some instances it makes it appear laggy.

A few hours after installation, the notification sounds stopped working so I had to reboot. After reboot phone worked fine.

Later on in the evening got the "Light Screen of Death" - this is the lockup where all pixels start to light up until the whole screen is lit up. Holding down the power button will force a reboot and get you out of that.

Finally, this morning opened up the camera, turned of the screen, turned on phone a few minutes later and got a blanck lock-screen with no numbers to enter PIN to unlock. Rebooted again and that's where it never came back from the reboot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AD5GB:
Thanks for the update. Not sure what the deal is with the Light Screen of Death - haven't seen that yet. I'm no stranger to the boot loop and boot failures now. :crying: I can't seem to build one that boots at the moment and to further add to frustration I can't yet grab a log to try to find out why. ADB is unavailable. Tonight I'm going to try attaching a serial terminal program via USB and see if I can't get a console session on the Note that way. At work at the moment. Wish I had more time to devote to this....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AD5GB:
Kernel testing.

Ok more progress. Uploading an -O3 optimized build now (1:45PM CST) and should be finished in an hour. - Slow internet connection - I think this fixes the screen flicker. Also defaults to 1890MHz. CPU Time in state in Trickster is missing however. :( It appears to run well however. Hoping you guys who are game testers have less trouble with this in getting it to boot.

Best!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] :
The normal nightly version experiences a lot of crashes. It crashes when:

1. Doing nothing

2. Typing

3. Waking the device

4. Tapping on anything

It's annoying. :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] prycem:
feedback on 03 version.

Downloaded and flashed the new O3 version this morning. Running smoothly and fast. Successfully rebooted several times without any serious issues. Once screen froze at the unlock SIM card screen and automatically rebooted, then booted up without a hitch.

Also the last few nightlies were not been working for me at all. Installed but continuous force closes at SIM unlock, to the extent where no other key presses could be achieved. Had to hard reboot to recovery and reload nandroid.

Thanks for the O3. Loving it so far.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Carebear!:
I had the light screen of death and looking through forums, I know mine was a result of mp4s. They wont play on the 4.3 ROMs I don't think there's any fixes yet besides deleting them. Just one issue I know that causes light screen of death...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tastypotato:
Using the latest build and the random reboots and screen light of death is still happening.

In addition to that - the screen actually just won't ever turn off. The power button does nothing. Rebooting the phone doesn't solve the issue either.

Hoping someone has some light to shed on this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AD5GB:
Latest nightly

Well, it's no news that nightly builds have been broken for some time. Broken-ness has been due to things upstream (CM) that we don't have immediate control over - yet. The latest nightly I built and uploaded manually - but have had to disable a lot of Qualcomm A/V enhancements just to get it to compile. My tests haven't revealed that any functionality has been lost - though some aspects of the ROM don't seem to perform as well. That said I'm sure I don't use the ROM in ways that everyone else does so feel free to post 'issues' with it if you decide to use it with the understanding that this disabled functionality is only temporary. Lots of work is being done on bringing it up to 4.4 and I'm still doing work on the 3.10 kernel, though focusing mostly now on a permanent solution to this QC AV problem.

Thanks all for your patience. I know there are lots of other ROM's out there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] pTeronaut:
Just noticed some new? (dated yesterday and before) builds, so just had to try one.

I got the forever brightening screen after the initial set-up, but it seems to be working just fine after a forced reboot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Teufel Hunden:
Just tried to install this on my GFs note and everthing was good until I went to home screen and I proceeded to fade brighter to white and nothing would respond. I then pulled battery and now get nothing but boot loop!

Try vol+ & vol- & power to recovery after battery pull and get nothing but samsung logo and then black screen

Big dogs on the block, NOTE 1&2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] developweb:
You do know to let go of power button once phone vibrates whilst still holding both volume keys down to reach recovery? Simply holding all keys doesn't put you into recovery. Perhaps just your wording.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Teufel Hunden:
Yeah I'm getting it ironed out. Seems to be doing better.

What kernel does everyone suggest? I don't have this phone anymore so I don't know what's going on in the community

Big dogs on the block, NOTE 1&2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Teufel Hunden:
Spoke to soon. This is what happens.

At least it rebooted after battery pull this time

Big dogs on the block, NOTE 1&2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] :
That's the light screen of death, it's rampant on PAC-man ROM. I switched to LiquidSmooth with UBER kernel. Hope the devs fix this, apparently it's a problem with GPU.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Teufel Hunden:
Odd I never get it on my Note2

Big dogs on the block, NOTE 1&2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] :
More of this Note than Note 2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Teufel Hunden:
First time it happened I pulled battery to reboot and it got stuck in a loop. Finally got back into recovery and had to reflash rom. Happened the second time but it booted back up.

She hate when I mess with her phone haha

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Poriotis:
So AD5GB what do you have cooking in 20131201-Android-3.0.101?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AD5GB:
Just minor config changes - mostly inlining spin locks and full -O3 optimization (the entire ROM, not just kernel). I've not seen much performance difference with it. Binaries are a bit larger and theoretically should perform better. Time will tell. Mostly working on getting the radio working in KitKat builds. I think that's all that's left.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AD5GB:
I really wish I could see this. Or a trace from someone that does. :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] :
Try doing these:

1 Pressing back before you've stopped a HD MP4 video in Gallery

2. Using the Viral Floating YouTube Player app, open TWO floating windows

3. Pausing and playing a HD MP4 video continuously

4. Running a lot of apps, then playing a HD MP4 video.

The HD MP4 video can be YouTube's 480p resolution or higher.

Light screen of death

It happened to me twice today , just after ive installed everything i needed the screen started to change color I thought it was a nice effect the youtube channel owner did when i realized it was my phone I pulled the battery out, re-flashed the ROM as I was stuck in the boot animation ... re-installed all the apps and it happened again shortly after.

:( was such a perfect ROM for me hope there is a fix comming soon it'll be my pleasure to use it again. :) btw What is TRACE is it still on my phone or it has to be like activated before the Screen of death maybe i can help im about to change rom ... idk
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AD5GB:
So far I've done 1, 3, and 4 above numerous times. Nada. No hint of a hiccup and quite frankly I'm surprised. I beat the heck out of it. Installed the Viral player and am charging the battery back up. I'll keep playing with it....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] :
That's odd... :confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AD5GB:
Ya. I know. It happens to me a lot. You guys find bugs and I can't reproduce them on my device right away. This one though I've heard a lot about but never seen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] patch_Adams:
Or you get the bugs and everything is good on there end :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AD5GB:
Indeed! :good:

KitKat tester wanted.

Greetings,

It's been a while since I've been on. Been buried with new employment opportunities (yeeeahhhh!!!) but also working with getting KitKat working on the Note 1. I've been using a 4.4 version for about a week as my daily driver. It lacks most of the features we've known as PAC but nonetheless is interesting. Much work to be done. So much that we're asked not to release it. That said I need a tester or 2 with some above-average skills for some additional input and "eyes". This is not by any means a representative of a PAC release and is not going to be available mainstream like the 4.3 nightlies or kernel test builds. PM me if interested and I'll provide a link. Again, this is NOT a release of any kind and no support will be available. You must have some Android-savvy.

What you will need:

1: A Pac zip (I'll provide a link)

2: A 4.4 version of GAPPS (I'll provide a link)

3: The latest CWM recovery. TWRP not working yet. You can get this in the usual places.

More to come on PAC-4.4 soon.

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] :
What are your specs? (As in what needs to be done?)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AD5GB:
Ah. Well not much other than observations of what doesn't work - or what doesn't work as it should, with the understanding that this is pre-alpha and no real support efforts will be available to work out configuration problems with this version of the ROM. Mostly I don't have the cycles to help with things like switching from TWRP to CWM.... or resolving problems with flashing the ROM, or problems that will arise from someone trying to run another kernel on the ROM, stuff like that. We know for instance that the paranoid and aokp stuff is not in there yet. Also that video camera is still not working. Beyond that, I'm mostly interested in people playing with the ROM that like to play with ROMs and obtain feedback such as "this didn't work but I got it to work by .....", or "this didn't behave as expected, it did ..... instead". I don't often do things the same as other people do and others find things I don't. Also
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] :
Hmm, sounds like something I would do, because of my OCD. I always find a way to get a certain feature working. :D

Also, everytime I flash a new ROM, I will explore the whole Settings app and look at all the pre-installed system apps

It's a free-roam testing? That means we report as we like? Or is there a certain time or style we have to report?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AD5GB:
Yep Free form but via PM as 1: this is a 4.3 thread and 2: this is not to be released mainstream.

PM sent.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AD5GB:
KitKat is here

Finally! I've enabled the nightly builds for our device. CM has finally brought the driver trees up to KitKat. Over the next few days I'll be updating the forum thread main page to point to the new links. 4.4 is a good bit different than 4.3 but I find it much more stable. As usual some things don't work quite right just yet but it runs much better and faster than 4.3 did.

Stay tuned!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Poriotis:
Thank you for continuing development for our phone.

BTW was there ever a final version of the PAC-MAN ROM 4.3?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bryanizmir:
Link in op still works for 4.3. Doesn't look like a nightly either. I think they were having problems building the 4.4s, but I am no expert at interpreting what goes on @ github. I joined just to see the PAC build status :) looking forward to this one, thinking it has been worth the weight. Always liked PAC . thanks for your work AD5GB!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bryanizmir:
[MENTION=5372846]AD5GB[/MENTION] will I brick if I flash the 4/5 basketbuild? Either way I'll let you know in a few hours :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AD5GB:
PAC-4.4 - is finally building!

Hey!

It's here! Finally. The link in the OP that takes you to the download page will allow you to download the FIRST OFFICIAL PAC-KK build for our device. I'm playing catch-up on updating the OP page - am in the midst of moving. Nonetheless the latest is a 4.4 release and the first for this device. 4.3 was never finalized as it was never stable enough. I will work hard to update the OP page and update the download links over the weekend. BE SURE TO USE A KITKAT GAPPS package if you wish to experiment with the ROM, such as the one here. http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-kk-20140105-signed.zip

Don't use the 4.3 gapps package in the OP. Again, I'll try to get the OP updated sometime this weekend.

Hope you like it!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AD5GB:
The 4/5 Basketbuild is the first OFFICIAL PAC release. I am running it now. It has the stock CM kernel but is running just fine. BE SURE TO USE a KK GAPPS package! I'll try to update the OP to update the download links by the end of the weekend!!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AD5GB:

OP should be updated. Please let me know if there's an error somewhere......

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bryanizmir:
The alpha doesn't have any PA settings correct? Just want to make sure I'm not missing something. Running great so far! I flashed with gimmie's twrp and latest PA GApps with no problems.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Joshua Mr PC Repair:

Did u use xposed or mod your build prop? Didn't see anything in menus.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Joshua Mr PC Repair:
No I installed #Textroider_DPI

but i do use xposed
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] thaiceman:
Ive been using this as a daily driver for over a month and its been working like a champ last time it was restarted it had 270 hours up-time, my one question is did anyone ever get it working with TWRP I hate CWM with a passion..

Not too sure I want to go to the stock CM kernel I kind of like the overclock on demand :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SgtTeabag:
It will work with twrp 2.7. Agreed I was never fond of cwm either. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bryanizmir:
You mean the PAC 4.3 rom correct? The 1st 4.4 nightly for pac was just built yesterday. Unless I guess you were a KK tester for them then glad to hear it was so stable!

There is a TWRP that will flash KK Roms, I believe it is listed in original dev forum or go to the candykat rom thread. For the kernels, if you go to the beanstalk rom thread, there's a link to polluti0n's rom patch. It is an Aroma package where you can flash Uber, CM and PAC kernels. It works very :good:

I flashed this PAC nightly originally with TWRP, but was having some random sketchiness (a reboot, a shutdown w/o reboot, some lag). So I was going to flash another kernel but decided to flash CWM Touch from rom manager, wipe and flash this bad boy again before I was too invested in installing my apps :) Since I did that, everything has been working flawlessly.

So, in theory, yes, there is a TWRP that works with 4.4s, but didn't work for ME with this rom. Remember, even though we all have the same i717, they are each their own animal in the end. Every one seems to be different in some way, working better with different kernels and different recoveries. My previous note hated Uber, this one loves it. Go figure :cyclops:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AD5GB:
No the PA stuff you're probably used to aren't in the KK version - yet. They are coming though. One of the PAC devs is working out PAC's own solution.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Poriotis:
Also, work hard to keep this ROM bug free? ;) :D

Thanks for reigniting this ROM again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AD5GB:
LoL! We'll do the best we can. We're sort of at the mercy for parts of it since we still kang CM, PA, and AOKP for parts of it. It's been a very good ROM for me save the video problem I've not been able to fix yet.

Thanks for giving it a go!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AD5GB:
PAC-4.4 with custom kernel

I will make KK roms with my custom kernel available from time to time. The kernel is based heavily on C3kener's and Jamie's work on UBER. Has the overclocking support, governors and schedulers to play with for those that like those things an well as other tweakables. I'm still playing with some new features and ultimately plan to bring it up to a newer Linux level. It's still at 3.0.101.

You can most easily find them by going to PAC's main page, navigating through the download tag to our device and go to the custom_kernel directory. It will take you here. http://pacman.basketbuild.com/index.php?dir=main/quincyatt/custom_kernel/

I'm uploading one for quincyatt now. The quincytmo is building and will be next. These won't be built nighly but I'll try to keep them as fresh as time permits.

Enjoy
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bryanizmir:
Fyi... I tried the "current" (01/20/14) Uber a little while ago. Wouldn't let me past the boot screen. Look forward to flashing your build. Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Joshua Mr PC Repair:
yeah , same with me , lets hope this one works wonders with our phone :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AD5GB:
I've been using it for a while. The few that have tested it for me had nothing but good to say about it. It's even been built into Beanstalk and LiquidSmooth - also with good reports.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SgtTeabag:
Installed this early yesterday. Got a few RR's in the beginning during burn in and I haven't seen another since. I've got 17 hours on and still have 60% left. AD5GB great work I love this rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] developweb:
Got boot loop on alpha with TWRP from gimmeitorilltell and CWM. Will try nightly later. Love the boot screen.

Ugh! Not good.Was this a dirty flash by chance? Which GAPPS did you use. Sorry you had those troubles.

Ya' we still got a few troubles. The blasted video is giving me grey hair :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bryanizmir:

Possible problem(s) with latest nightly

Ugh,

Looks like there might be problems with the nightly from basketbuild. Just got in from an early morning at work. Downloaded and flashed the build to test. Halo, paranoid stuff and ROM settings are gone. Not sure what's up yet. Just finished looking at the build. Haven't seen any of the other problems reported. Need a bit of time to review the build log, look at my logcat, build and test a local build and stuff.

More to come.....

Thanks!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JamieD81:
That's part of the device settings*advanced settings* isn't it? If so that's gone now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] patch_Adams:
Yeah. I was having that issue on my new builds too. Can't be gone for good though? Or am I going to have to code that in myself? Boy I'd need help with something like that. That's my favorite feature, for real.

Damn that's some disturbing news indeed patch. I was also looking for advanced settings to disable the hard key lights. I am pretty sure you have an option in one of the xposed modules, but there's no telling if it will work plus I haven't gotten xposed running yet.

Just flashed this in the past half hour. Got the gapps error on wifi setup and one other 'Blame Tyler' error. (Which is hilarious since my name is Tyler)

T-Mobile is working like a champ out of the box with this. Voice and text works fine and he's getting DC-HSPA+ with a download of 5000kbs and up of 1000kbs. :D That's awesome! Force closes are a lil annoying, but he is loving his first experience with stock Android. Glad to finally get him off that Touchwiz crap.

OTA says there's an update for 8024... Just making sure, does OTA updates work fine?

EDIT: Saw your post about the nightly, staying away for now. ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JamieD81:
That's a lot of dead code in msm8660 to leave though

Maybe remove all the display stuff from advanced settings since none of it works and leave the cap button stuff?

this stuff hasnt worked on i717 for a very long time

Got an odd issue... Pressing the power button isn't locking the screen. Did we accidentally enable something?

Edit: Interesting, installing UBER kernel fixed it.

Edit 2: It's still not locking at all. :/

Edit 3: Battery setttings say the Phone app has kept the phone awake for 28 minutes. I put the kernel settings to default in Trickster and few other things and it appears to be good now.
