Thank you very much for the response! I knew you didn't have the device anymore I thought you still maintained i605.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] akellar:
Kinda impossible to do without the device. Blindly pulling commits likely wouldn't end well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cydetrakd:
The latest update is buttery smooth who is keeping is up to date on the latest version of android if akellar isn't?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
No device specific updates anymore. It's just aokp updates that are for the platform at this point.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bL33d:
Not been here for awhile but my mom has a note 2 i installed a custom jelly bean tw rom on and its grtting laggy and looking to install a new rom on her phone.

Do i need to do anything special or can i just update her recovery and flash this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] NeoandGeo:
Had to comment to say that the 10/18 nightly build has been running perfectly so far for me. This ROM fixes the CM11 issue where some headsets won't produce sound when they are plugged in before you start an audio stream making it basically unusable if you use some car hands free devices. Battery life is also very good, 12 hours of light usage with GPS and everything enabled, sitting at 85% battery.

I was able to install this ROM coming from [ROM][I605VRUFND7][4.4.2]OFFICIAL STOCK ROOTED ODEX/DEODEX[6/13/2014]. I used CWM, did a factory reset then installed this ROM per the instructions in the OP. I also noticed increasing lag the longer I used any TW ROM on this device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Wetzel402:
Does anyone have Google Wallet tap and pay (TAP) working? I can't seem to get it working with build.prop edits or anything and Wallet is supposed to work with AOSP Kitkat ROMs now out of the box.

Is it a device specific problem or is it an AOKP problem that will be fixed as the ROM is developed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nitro66215:
Am I missing something in order to see the correct themed 1% battery indicator?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
No sure what theme you used but the battery always themed for me using aokp.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adobrakic:
Is this Android 4.4.2? Can I flash the ROM with Safestrap?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
No and no.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kwhodson:
Thanks for the quick reply. I appreciate that. Rom is EXCELLENT for me aside from that issue. I have not experienced any other issues!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sgtguthrie:
This may sound stupid, but I haven't been flashing much lately. Which gapps should I use with the 4.3 test build?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nkhex19:
Here you go http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sgtguthrie:
Cool, thanks. Those were the ones I thought I needed :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dtroup64:
Running the test build and I've gotta say : lovely lovely lovely!

Any kernels other than devil that work with voodoo?

sent from my ever changing note2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Irisht:
Hey Guys, is anyone else that is running this noticing screen dimming issues? Like when the screen is dimming it tends to jump all over the place? Its not a smooth dim but rather choppy. Happens during screen time out and when in a call and moving the phone away from your ear? I have searched all over but have uncovered nothing. Any help would be appreciated. By the way I am running the stock kernel and noticed this upon first boot. Fresh install even from a formatted internal mem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
Turn off auto auto brightness.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Irisht:
Sorry I didnt mention that earlier but I never use auto brightness. Its off and the issue still persists.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] akellar:
Turn off content adaptive brightness in device settings
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Irisht:
Yep thats turned off too
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
I thought for sure that's what you were talking about. I also always turn it off. Mine dims normal. Hmm odd.... I have no clue what would cause that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Irisht:
This is literally the only issue I am having, everything else is running incredibly smooth. Heck I even get instant GPS lock, compass and everything else just works. Mind I mention that I am running Milestone 2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
Download 4.3 test build it's even better. http://goo.im/devs/akellar/AOKP/i605/aokp_i605_jb-mr2_unofficial_2013-09-23.zip
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Irisht:
I may just have to do that. Assuming that is what you are running anything you can point out as far as what does and doesnt work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
Everything works. And yes that's what I'm running.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mising:
Does dock/usb audio work yet? Pretty much the only thing keeping me from moving to 4.3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] akellar:
No idea, no dock to test on. You tell me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mising:
I will give it a spin this weekend and see. The problem with the other 4.3 based ROMs is that the place to enable it is missing from settings. I will definitely leave feedback here once I try it. Thank you
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gerg004:
Hey guys. Been a lonnng time for me since AOKP (Gnex) and 1st here on the Note 2.

I'm currently on a TW ROM. I've downloaded the 4.3 test build and gapps.

My question is what kernel should I be flashing, if any after flashing this? Haven't dabbled with much other than TW ROMS and thought I'd seen directions on flashing proper kernels, but didn't see anything in the OP. Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] akellar:
Comes with kernel so no need
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] akellar:
Official nightlies starting tonight. Get AOKPush to be notified automatically.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] biyobe:
Once the JB-MR2 drops and somebody has flashed; can you please comment on the in-call volume? I know all CM releases so far has had some real audio level issues... hopefully AOKP found a way to fix :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lightsout:
I don't think there has been much of a change in the test builds. Not sure that will change but here's to hoping.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] akellar:
Sounds fine to me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lightsout:
Have you tried speaker phone? Compared to tw.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
I have just talked to my sister for an hour. Loud, they can here me with no echo. It works good. Is it as good as stock? Probably not but it's very close.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lightsout:
Really. Thanks I'll give her a go. Are you running devil and if so are your audio settings tweaked?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Tophaholic:
The mr2 nightly is running very stable and smooth... Just installed it but looks good. Where is the setting for hardware button shortcuts e.g to assign menu long press to Google now... It's not assigned by default
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Irisht:
Running latest MR2 nightly and the in call audio is greyed out and can't be changed. This was also the case with the last nightly too, is this happening for everyone else?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
Same for me too.

---------- Post added at 10:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:10 AM ----------

They are still working out issues with hardware button settings. But long pressing the left hardware button is set default for Google now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Irisht:
Ok, good to know its not just me. The overall audio volumes seem quite low compared to TW. Just came over from jellybeans because I finally wanted to give my favorite aosp ROM a go on this beast. Audio is much quieter. I was able to boost the audio in milestone 2 to an acceptable level with 4.2.2 but haven't been with 4.3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] akellar:
The audio levels are hard coded now. Those options won't be back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Irisht:
Well that sucks... Any recommendations for boosting the volumes? Or can that no longer be done at all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] akellar:
Some have mentioned trying devil kernel and tweaking stuff there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
And also Viper4android.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lightsout:
How did you do it on 4.2.2? I would be willing to ditch 4.3 for some proper volume levels.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Irisht:
I used devil kernel along with devil tools. Only reason I am on the nightlies for 4.3 is I was having some crazy brightness fading issues on 4.2.2. It's a lot better on 4.3 but still not as smooth as it was on 4.1.2. Oh well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lightsout:
Hmm I felt 4.3 was a bit better. But not on this exact rom. It is frustrating compared to tw it's the only issue I have but it really bugs me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] itch808:
This has got to be the smoothest and most fluid bug free 4.3 ROM I've tried. 2nd best would probably be PACMAN.

Thanks AOKP team!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] VitaliyUvakin:
Are there any tricks to get WiFii tether to work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sgtguthrie:
I can't get GPS to lock. Any tricks to that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] akellar:
Same trick as CM - flash a TW rom, get GPS lock, flash AOKP
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cydetrakd:
How did you enable this option it's not working for me? The only thing I see is "Enable Google Now Button" under general Ui. I am glad to be on the official nightlies 4.3 for Aokp been on the 9-28 build since release and it's battery life is great and everything seems to be working minus a force close here and there but restarting the app fixes it.

I know Team Kang is still working on the custom buttons and getting it all ironed out but is it possible to make's Cm's option available as a flashable zip in the mean time? If possible can some one post a link to it please?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] akellar:
Not possible
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cydetrakd:
I ran the Linaro builds for 4.2.2 for so long I always catch myself holding down the menu button for Google Now and now all it does is bring up Nova Launcher options lol. I'll adjust to the setup at least there is a option inside of recent menu for it. I'm sure you guys will be able to figure it out in due time. I'm just thankful that phone is supported by the team period. I've said it before but my choice of upgrading to this phone was it had a unlockable bootloader and is supported by you guys.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
Go to nova settings, gestures and buttons and set the long press menu button for Google now (listed as Google in the apps) .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nickhex89:
Any way to change amount of home screens? Also clarity of MMS quality is reduced....any thoughts?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] akellar:
Use another launcher, we don't mod it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cydetrakd:
Thanks for the help bro pretty sweet option from Nova Launcher good to have since i preferred the back home menu search nav bar setup on my GNexus but don't want to use the screen realestate this time around with the Gn2. Now essentially i have all those available just not in that order.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] VitaliyUvakin:
I glad I the only one with wifi tether issues, will try to figure out what's wrong with it on my end
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nickhex89:
Loving this ROM it is insanely smooth. Keep up the great work! No issues that affect performance or battery on my end. Everything performs flawlessly. No FC's or errors.

---------- Post added at 04:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:02 PM ----------

Actually 1 issue...the MMS clarity of reg pics isn't that different but screenshots are pretty pixelated when sent or received...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] akellar:
Looking into the MMS thing - looks like the limits just need updated.

Edit: worked with sbrissen and he agreed and push fixes for this. Should see some MMS clarity boost in the next release.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cydetrakd:
Tethering is working on the official build and the linaro builds for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nickhex89:
Question what are the default GPU threshold values?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xcharliemikex:
I want to first say that I love this ROM and everything about it. I want to use this as my daily driver but I have one problem: Every time I try to reboot I get stuck on the Verizon Note 2 splash screen. So I have to pull the battery, reboot in recovery and reflash. After reflashing, the ROM will work flawlessly until I need to reboot and it gets stuck again.

Anyone else having this problem or know of a fix? Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] akellar:
Use CWM
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nickhex89:
Had no problems using twrp 2.6.3.0
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] akellar:
Right, but he is having problems. There's no known reason for the issue and no definite fix (it happens to random people on CM as well). Only semi-consistent fix has been to use CWM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nickhex89:
So in your personal opinion which recovery do you find to be better as far as consistency and if CWM better, how do I switch from TWRP2 - CWM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] akellar:
I'd stick with whatever works for you. There is very little difference in general other than UI. I use CWM but for no reason really. Switching is as easy as flashing a zip.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nickhex89:
Ok yeah just flashed it and definitely like the UI a little better
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xcharliemikex:
Thanks! It worked the second time. The first time I flashed and got it running and went to reboot, same thing happened. I reflashed and got it running, then rebooted into recovery, then rebooted the system from there and it was fine. Once it was rebooted I turned off the phone and then back on and everything loaded fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nexttonomy:
Great Rom.. running really smooth!

One question though... anyway to sync your google+ and facebook contacts? I have it setup to sync in my accounts.. but it just doesn't do it.. anyone else having this issue?

Thanks,

Update - I got my google+ contacts to sync... still no luck with facebook...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
Haxsync all the way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nexttonomy:
Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
Anytime
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nexttonomy:
One more issue.. and yes I know its an issue with CM too..

I can't get my GPS to lock.. I was on jellybeans before this rom and had a gps lock on that... flashed this rom and now I can't get a lock..

I know the work around is to flash a TW rom and then this rom.. which I kinda did since I was already on a TW rom..

Any ideas on how to get it to get a lock without having to do the work around again?

Thanks,

Next
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] akellar:
That's the only known fix I'm aware of.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nexttonomy:
Ok well I guess I'm going to have to do that again lol.. thanks for the response..

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Irisht:
Akellar, any thoughts on implementing a custom mouse point icon option? I use the S Pen rather often and think it would be cool to be able to change the icon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] akellar:
Unlikely it's anything we'll package but its a simple matter of replacing this icon in frameworks-res.apk - drawable-xhdpi/pointer_arrow.png
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lightsout:
How about disabling the icon? I do not like it there. Couldn't figure out how.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] akellar:
Make a transparent image
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lightsout:
Not a bad idea thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dr12volt1338:
Love this!!! Any way we can get an S pen gesture of double tapping to take a screen shot? That's all I really miss from TW as I can make another gesture open paper artist or whatever to draw on them... awesome work and for me that screen shot option would make it perfect!

Only bug I have found is turning off the back light for the soft keys doesn't stick but for a few minutes. Other than that everything seems to work. I did flash cobalt theme but I don't know how that would break the back light.....

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] akellar:
Are you using the included kernel?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikeone33:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dr12volt1338:
Thanks bud. I did a factory reset and it seems to be working now.. any thoughts on my other request for the double tap to take a screen shot with the S Pen? After being on TW for a year and using that all the time I miss it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cydetrakd:
Thank you for the new build today so far the rom seems even speedier than before great work Team Kang.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cydetrakd:
The lock screen carousel is really smooth compared to 4.2.2 on my old toro xD.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dr12volt1338:
I know this is probably the wrong place but is there a crash course guide to show me what some of these things are and do in AOKP? Ribbons and nav bar mainly.... seems like navy bar is much like the lock screen ring really... I'm a nice aosp/aokp newb I can tear down and rebuild TW but this is new to me...

Again Akeller great great job. My battery is only ferrying like 13 hours but I have like 8 screen on time. I can't put it down again lol

Let's try this again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] PhilDX:
one of the devs on the AOKP team made an awesome walk-through video on youtube a while back, long story short, the video isn't available anymore but you can get bits and pieces if you just google "youtube aokp".

as far as i605 is concerned, the navbar is off by default but i personally think its more useful (when enabled) than the navigation ring because you can set it up to be always on and there is no animation delay as with navigation ring. this screen is huge so i don't mind giving up a little real estate. you can also disable the capacitive buttons with a little tweak which is how i roll this device.

ribbons are truly awesome. try adding a few short cuts to the "left swipe ribbon" and check it out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mtran13:
I have slight camera issue on today's nightly. It seems to take a picture fine on both cameras but does not return to the active camera screen. It will take a picture and then remain stuck on that picture. If you slide to the picture and then back, active camera works again. Other than that, great rom as usual.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dr12volt1338:
The ribbons truly are awesome! Thank you very much... just made my first call and volume was pretty low so now I will have to tackle that next. But things are still sweet!

Let's try this again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] akellar:
Already fixed in source so you'll see it fixed in next release.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dr12volt1338:
This guys on it!! Lol ?

Let's try this again

Settings, Rom control, s pen gestures, uncheck enable s pen pointer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Irisht:
Isn't it possible that in the mean time one could back up the gallery.apk from the 9-28 nightly and replace it in the current nightly? Or is the issue deeper then that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] akellar:
Sure
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Irisht:
Thanks! Worked like a charm. Just replaced the gallery 2 apk from 9-28, set permissions then rebooted and all is well. Latest nightly is smooth!!! Keeps getting better. Awesome work Kellar!

---------- Post added at 10:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:59 PM ----------

If anyone that has flashed the latest nightly (10-6) and wants to fix the camera issue download gallery2.apk from my drop box, copy it to system/app, set permissions to rw-r--r--, reboot and profit.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] akellar:
Galaxy 4 is a live wall paper lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Irisht:
Lmao!!! I didn't even bother to check it but since it was there I figured to include it. My bad. Guess gallery4 is optional then. Hahaha

EDIT - Nevermind.. forgot to reinstall the gapps after flashing new build.. (facepalm) lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dr12volt1338:
My battery is still a little rough I kinda think. Screen was off and I listened to music in headphones for 4 hours and lost 18 percent... seems a little much to me. I'm running cobalt theme not sure if that can affect it or not. Going to keep digging.... Still love the rom and all the new goodies I'm able to set up. Miss a couple of things from TW still but I am by far not ready to go back... Keep up the good work [MENTION=3470254]akellar[/MENTION]!!

Any good sites/threads for boot animations?

Let's try this again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mising:
I finally had a chance to install this weekend. The option to turn on dock audio is in the settings now, but it does not do anything. Audio still comes out of phone speaker. Aside from that and Bluetooth LE not syncing with my Fitbit (neither work yet on any 4.3 rom as far I know), this rom is stellar. I had a blast playing with all of the options and can't wait til everything works. I keep installing every time a new version comes out to check. Thank you for all your work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmixxx:
You got the dock working? With no hangup?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dr12volt1338:
OK guys.... 4 days of running this ROM and I am IN LOVE with it... However Media Server is still destroying my battery... I just formatted my SD even though I only had 4 podcasts on there.... I am in the process of backing everything back up to my SD going to let it sit for the day and monitor it and see what happens... If that doesn't do it I am going to wipe and re install again but wipe data entirely on the internal instead of just factory reset and system wipe...... Unless anyone here has any other thoughts..... I listened to a podcast last night through head phones for 4 hours and lost 12% of battery... I know that is higher than what it used to be.... As I said I am an AOSP/AOKP virgin so if this is normal I will live with it as I really enjoy this ROM..... Everything else is buttery smooth, the customization is awesome, everything works exactly as it should even the built in WIFI tether is now working with security. I am tethered to my laptop now using it..... Although I should be working :( LOL
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] akellar:
Are you streaming or listening to saved file? Signal strength, if streaming, will play a large part. Media server isn't the likely culprit, it's going to be running the whole time you are listening to media. That's normal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Porkshanker:
I had same effect .. media drain on battery, I do however really enjoy the ROM thanks for all the work on this and looking forward to future releases.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mising:
No, the option to enable it is there now, but it doesn't do anything yet. All the other dock features seem to work though. When I dock, it goes to the car dock program I have installed, I just cannot use it for audio yet. I am sure it will all be worked out eventually though, especially with the Note2 4.3 leaks starting to pop up.
