Help

plz help me! civato says : updating from rev1 to rev ... no wipe needed, so what is mean of rev1 or similar!? i'm confused:confused:
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] aben2amu:
If you don't have a previous civato rom, then you have to full wipe. As simple as that.

Is it okay to upgrade from MD1 4.1.2 with this rom?

I can't seem to upgrade my stock rom to 4.2.2 :(

No WiFi

I love the rom but when i install it I could not turn on the wifi.

I am a noob so how can I fix this?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] deadman1007:
can i install this over civz 4.4.2
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Taiyo85:
Thank you for the answer =)

I was refering to the internal sdcard as you describe. System partition is wiped and the rom installation was a success. It's not my first time wiping stuff, but when I did factory resets previously it cleaned everything... Is there a way to format the internal sd card? I don't mind having to install the rom again. Clean Master didn't work as planed. I think its because I came from the 4.1 to the 4.2.2 and the new partition layout.

Really thank you for trying to help me =)
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] jazzespresso:
in custom recovery, there's an option (should buried under advance section), format sd card, this will do the trick. I had did this couple of months ago when I was installing custom ROM on my nexus 7, so it should probably work for you too.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Taiyo85:
That did the trick =D Thank you so very much =)

Does your newest ROM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2367151&highlight=5+ghz+channels&page=53 support the upper 5 Ghz WiFi channels? I ask because I flashed the new UK 4.2.2 from Sammobile with Mobile Odin, and I lost the ability to see Channels 149, 153, 157 and 161, I had to set my router (Netgear R6300) to Channel 48 for my Note 8 N5110 (US) to see 5 Ghz, does this ROM also suffer from that? Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] civato:
Well it is EU based so it will have the same effect, 5G is supported but only the EU channels.

Release REV3.1 is coming

New kernel SphereEngine REV1.4

Ramdisk changes

Empty folder mounting fixed when using Cifs @ mkasick (Thanks to j-heath for pointing me out the problem) This is a problem that is caused by the multi-user support on Android 4.2.2 so the kernel and ramdisk needed some patching.

Terminal command softkey fix for the 5110 rom version.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] californiarailroader:
Thanks for getting back to me! I am going to go ahead and flash your ROM, I've been wanting to for a while :D Is there a Kernel I can flash to get those channels back, or is flashing a US based ROM the only way to get them back?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] civato:
It is not kernel related so only a US based rom will give you that option.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] californiarailroader:
That's what I thought, but I wasn't sure, thanks again for the help and the awesome ROM! 5Ghz seems to be working fine for me on Channel 48, I'm rural so there really isn't any interference to worry about.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] 02mo:
Hello, sorry I am a n00b here, so please don't flame me for not including the logcat, I will try and post one later when home from work.

I really like this ROM Civato :good: thanks for all your hard work. The S Pen works much better for me than on this ROM than it did on Stock 4.1.2.

I am experiencing one issue, and I just wanted to see if anyone else was encountering it, or if it was just a mistake on my part. I have WidgetLocker Pro, but I get a strange issue where the layer for the menu for WidgetLocker is "behind" the Lock Screen and any widgets on it when using this ROM. What I mean is that the Widgets on the Lock Screen are actually "in front" of the menu that allows me to add more widgets, and this means I can't read the menu clearly. This wasn't happening on stock, even with the same applications installed (All my applications downloaded last night via Google Sync).

It's not a major issue, but just wondering if its something simple I'm missing.

I did search the forums and google to see if this was mentioned anywhere.

Edited to say I am using a GT-N5110, and flashed V3.0 of Civ's ROM last night, wiped everything using CWM recovery before upgrading via external SD and had MD5 checked the file.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] civato:
Are you using the xposed framework with the xblasted module , if so , disable it and see what it gives.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] 02mo:
Hey Civato, thanks for your reply.

I haven't actually changed any settings do to do with xposed framework or xblaster (I didn't even know what they were until you just mentioned them :eek:). I hadn't changed any settings since the install, but will have a read through the threads/tutorials about how to use it.

I am busy downloading V3.1 now anyway and will see how it goes there.

My GS3 is getting around 14.

Is this the 5Ghz issue people have been talking about?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] mann75:
I know everyone has different needs when it comes to our notes. But just so I can get a few ideas for myself, what frequencies/over clocking are you goes running on this rom/kernel? Oh and the governor as well. And if you reply to my question, can you state if your setup is for performance or battery life? Thanks

great rom-thanks Civz

Is anyone having problems with keyboard in landscape view in tablet mode.

Picture below.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] madsquabbles:
i don't see any other posts with this, but on 3.1 i'm not able to install some of the options in aroma. i've wiped and reinstalled twice. supersu, sketchbook, otghelper, etc won't install. pstouch does. my md5's match so the original file downloaded is correct - for the 5110.

i'm gonna copy again and wipe to see if the problem is still there. i'm just checking to see if anyone eles if having the problems, if not i'll get a logcat if you need it.

all the files are there on the rom it's just stuff from the customize and data folder aren't getting installed. i'll report back in a few.

NM everything worked after recopying it to the sd. just had a bad transfer.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] androidmonsta:
That happens when you change the LCD density to tablet mode.

Alternative #1 is to install the ASOP keyboard.

Alternative #2 is to revert to default dpi and use xposed module "App Settings" to change per app density for all apps except the Samsung apps and systemUI.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] uauzer:
I'v tried all revisions of CivZ's rom for my 5100 and each time got the same problem -very slow WiFi. Before posting here I'v checked inet for the simular and found that may be the 5Ghz and channel are giving this low speed connection. But, unfortunatelly, no result for my device with this rom. Max that i was able to get is 1899kbps for receiving and 9647 kbps for transmiting (my channel is 50 Mbps). This best result for me was possible to get on channel 40 of 5Ghz and the rest channels are worst.

Btw. I'v tried most of all custom roms and WiFi speed was perfect (~49/49 Mbps) exept CivZ Flex. Also, this problem is not with CivZ-kernel cause I'm using it on stock and X-note roms.

Is any one knows how to fix that slow WiFi speed?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] hermeticist:
You can also install Swype.

I've set my cpu governor/scheduler to zzmove and deadline. I've got the CPU upped to 1.8, however I've set it up so that by default I have samsung power saver enabled. If I'm playing certain games like need for speed or modern combat, tasker disables power saving mode and when exiting enables. This works for me for both performance and power saving.

On 4.2.2 multiwindow is disabled by default, enable it in quicksettings or in settings.

Now you can use the back button to show the multiwindow drawer.

Is there a way to get access to civatos older releases?

I would like to get the v2.2 release but all the old links are deleted by himself.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] androidmonsta:
If you are referring to LCD density, you can either

#1 use "App Settings" xposed module and set DPI of systemUI to 177. You will need to set all other apps to DPI 177 too.

OR

#2 you can download the app "Note 8 Mode Switcher" and switch to tablet dpi.

OR

#3 manually edit build.prop and look for the line "ro.sf.lcd_density" and change default value 213 to value 177.

If you are referring to enable floating windows, then you need to download a terminal emulator app enter the following commands

su (hit enter)

tabletwindow (hit enter)

reboot (hit enter)

Hope it helps. :)

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] sdelliott31:
Do most people change their DPI settings? I leave mine at regular because it seems like things don't fit right. But would love some extra space. Is there a particular DPI that most people use.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] civato:
Not all links, androidhostfiles still got them http://www.androidfilehost.com/?a=show&w=files&flid=7923
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] androidmonsta:
Depending on personal preference. I believe the 3 methods above are quite common. But do take note that changing DPI will result in certain apps behaving abnormally.

Samsung apps generally don't work well. S note and pop up note will have problems with S pen alignment. Calculator will have funny button size as well as samsung keyboard will not scale properly in landscape mode. If you have N5100, your stock dailer will have the same button size problem.

What I did is remain as default DPI 213 and then using xposed App Settings to set DPI to 177 for all apps except system UI, samsung apps and keyboard. The down side is that it is troublesome and the keyboard looks out of size in relation to the apps.

Setting to tablet dpi and then using app setting to scale the Samsung apps and keyboard back to stock dpi is not working some how. *shrugs*
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] sdelliott31:
I go back and forth on changing DPI. I like TW and the fluidity of the programs, yet like seeing extra screen real estate. I know TW and some widgets don't work well with the DPI change. I'm sure in the end its personal preference. I use this app called write for note taking. Works well.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] scippaculi:
good evening civato, you can put the floating windows on your last rom? if you can can you tell me how to do? thanks
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] TalonStryk:
Wow, coming to this rom for 4.1.2 is like night and day. Everything feels so much smoother and more usable than stock. Memory usage also appears to be significantly less. I am having one minor issue: The "Show battery percentage" option in the display menu is not working properly. At first, it would display the percentage in the notification area for a few minutes, then disappear. I'd have to go back into options and turn it off, then back on again to get it to reappear. Now, it's doing the opposite - it won't go away (joy). I can turn it off for a few minutes, but it eventually comes back and requires toggling the setting a few times to turn off again. Switching battery styles does not seem to help. Anyone have an idea on how to resolve this issue?

Also, I'd like to odex the rom. I found the command listing in Civ's post in the development forum, but I'm not 100% sure how to run them. Do a connect the device in debug mode and run them from adb shell? Or is it done a different way?

Thanks for the help!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] sdelliott31:
Download Terminal Emulator from the market and then open and literally type the commands and it will do the rest. Its very easy.

I had a problem with the battery percentage shutting off on its on. I unchecked it and went to the custom battery meter and check that one to display the percentage and picked a battery meter from the selection and then everything was fine. Hope it helps a little
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] TalonStryk:
Thanks, that worked to fix the battery meter.

I also got odexing ("su", then "dexo -all') to work with Android Terminal Emulator. There were 3 files it was unable to odex for some reason, I think its because they were in use and it couldn't kill the processes:

/system/framework/twframework-res.apk

/system/framework/twframework-res.apk

/system/app/minimode-res.apk

Is this normal? If so, do I need to odex them in a different way?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] mann75:
I always wondered, but what is the purpose of odexing or even deoxing?

What you need to do is download "note 8 mode switcher" and "multi window manger"

Note 8 mode switcher will give you the options as pictured in the screen shots.

Multi window manger will allow you to enable more apps for either multi window or floating windows
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] janla:
Issues on mulitiwindow also here.

Switcher alow "alternate multiwindow mde" that is weak - apps have unusable scaling, Cannot minimize (button causes nothing but artifactas). Once maximized apps cannot br windowed again.

This was not the case within "native multiwindow" that I cannot activate/recall at all.

I am on GT-N5100 flexbeam 3.2 kernel 1.5.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] androidmonsta:
This is an "issue" with the multiwindow framework from samsung, not the ROM. Samsung never designed to work that way (floating windows) for note 8. Wonderful people here in XDA made it possible by editing certain system files so it is not a full implementation.

When you click minimize, you get an oversized icon which you can double click to maximize again. It is also a known issue that you can't go windowed again if you maximize.

If you wanted native Windows (2-way split windows), then you should not have changed it with that option in the note 8 mode switcher app since the rom comes default with the default Windows.

Try changing back to default Windows with that app again. If that didn't work, reflash the rom again and use that app for just changing to tablet ui and not the window mode.

---------- Post added at 11:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:29 AM ----------

A better alternative for the multi window manager is to use the xposed version of it.

[*]Multiwindow by [MENTION=1974830]Scalee[/MENTION] - Enable Multiwindow feature on all Samsung devices.

[*]Multiwindow Apps Manager by [MENTION=4948919]xperiacle[/MENTION] - enable apps to use multiwindow feature.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] janla:

I think it is not a kernel problem but a framework problem, I will take a look at it.

Samsung made a mess in there.

##############################################################################################

YES I can confirm it is a framework problem , I will fix it in next rom release.

Need to edit the xml file in the framework , the X and Y Axis values are wrong. Why? Ask Samsung they made a mess of the pointer stuff in the framework.

Oh and thanks, stuff like this you may post in the rom thread as it is a clear example of what is wrong so it is easy for me to search for the problem. This is a real good example of how to post a bug. A picture, screenshot or logcat.

Do you think it will be possible to enable to spen options from the new note 3?

the time is also gone from the status bar (using the centered status bar) the parts look a little misaligned.

reinstalled with stock status bar and it seems "normal again"

anyone else have any trouble with the custom statusbar?

note: i used the custom one on 3.1 and it was great; not sure why 3.2 went nutty on me
