Well I gave this rom a shot and overall am impressed with the speed and responsiveness, but there are problems that will keep me away.

1-The notification/ringer volumes are way too low for me at full volume.

2- My on-screen keyboard disappears every other time I try to use it and requires a reboot to come back.

3-My back button does not work?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mazwoz:
There are multiple tools to do this without needing a custom kernel.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mazwoz:
NEVER flash over a different ROM.

I'm looking into the volume issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mazwoz:
Since you are the first two report number two and three I have to wonder what is different with your setup. Did you flash a different kernel, did you install xposed, did you flash anything but the standard ROM and gapps?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] resarfekim:
My bad. I meant I just changed over from SlimKat.

I did full wipes first.

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jah_rankin:
Nice

Do devils kernel work on this rom?

My speaker volume and keyboard works fine
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] peterocc:
Been looking forward to this update for a while. Great job!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sliverr7x:
Speaker volumes in call are plenty Loud and also ringer volume latest build and stock setup here, running swift keyboard without any problems
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jah_rankin:
After installing omni plasma kernel my volume is low in all segments?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mazwoz:
I don't support other kernels. You need to contact the kernel Dev.

9016

How can I get rid of this 9016 text message after getting voice mail?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sliverr7x:
I would suggest searching on Google sure u will find your answer
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jah_rankin:
Got it thanks.

Just wanted to let anyone know who has MMS issue and can't get apps running under ART runtime. I discovered that if I turn art on reboot then turn dalvik runtime back on and reboot my MMS is still working with dalvik now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Shadowpaw:
Download Synapse from play store and under audio tap u can turn up the volume amps. It works best for me untoggling voodoo sounds and using wolfson. Under headphones I just use Equalizer enabled and not the Saturation Prevention one as it muffles all my audio by a good chunck. If you need help with any other settings just ask. Hope it works for ya.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rivethead23:
Tried this would not fix MMS issue for me. Hoping this gets fixed as the latest DU is a beast!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jah_rankin:
GPS

GPS is not working for me it looses it signal ever 30 secs or so?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Shadowpaw:
What you quoted was for sound issues. Go into dev options at bottom is a runtime option. Change to art reboot then try MMS if working then if art acting up like for me some reason art will at random lock all CPUs to max speed all cores. If art is making you MMS work. Then I changed back to dalvik and my MMS kept working for 2 days straight now. If that doesn't work can try also going into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik also just to make sure everything clear. It worked great for me with everything stock. But I am now running plasma kernel and everything still working.

With any mods like this slim or anything not built from ota I always have this issue. The general fix is while in a Tw ROM built from Ota is go in maps and get a good GPS lock and immediately reboot n flash. Whenever I go to any Aosp type mods I do this every time and GPS works flawless. I might even say I get a quicker lock on this ROM than Tw based ones. Just used navigation like 4hr ago for a 1hr long drive and kept perfect lock whole way. Hope it helps if you didn't want to reflash some people report luck getting a GPS fix app from play store but I've never had the luck of one working.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jah_rankin:
When you day to flash is this a dirty or clean install?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Shadowpaw:
I always do clean installs only

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mweuch:
I need help please!! I was trying to flash this rom so I flashed to latest TWRP recovery from PHILZ RECOVERY and now my PHONE JUST keep looping at the SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE boot up animation screen. Now I can not get into recovery! Please help!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Shadowpaw:
You'll need to get philz 6.07.9 tar and pull battery and flash that recovery in Odin and you'll be fine happened to me before
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mweuch:
Thank you Shadowpaw! But even when I pulled battery I couldn't go back into recovery. When you say flashed recovery in Odin, is that the same step as rooting in Odin? Thank you!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
You wont be able to get into recovery. There is an issue with twrp and it will just loop. You need to pull battery press and hold vol down, home, and power while inserting battery. This putts you in download mode. You will need to use your pc and odin to flash a good recovery (philz).

Also not sure why you even put twrp on the phone since it cant properly flash 4.4+ roms.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mweuch:
Up and running now and back to Philz recovery using Golfdriver97 tutorial on AC forum. Then I restored my jlmancuso Community rom and everything is so far so good. My noob dum head will stay off screwing around my phone for now before I get bricked soon. Thank u sir
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrianhix:
Excellent ROM! I tried the omni plasma kernel. Worked well but really no need to mess with anything that is already working better. Benchmarks are better with the inbox kernel than with plasma even after over-clocking. Only snafu I ran into was if I change the keyboard animation sometimes the keyboard doesn't come up the first try. I then have to click somewhere else to change the focus and then back into a text field. Always works second try.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rivethead23:
I realize now I quoted the wrong post. I tried to enable Art under the developer options. It will give a warning about art being not supported and I choose to reboot. However when it boots up the developer option screen still shows dalvik being enabled. Any ideas? Clearing cache doesn't fix either
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Most likely your gapps package. You must have deodexed gapps. Normal gapps from goo.im are odexed and wont work with ART. I use slim AIO personally for all roms.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Shadowpaw:
If you also happen to have xposed installed it won't work. Art isn't compatible currently with xposed

If it is gapps like jlmancuso said I used the team blackout alt gapps from 1st post when I installed
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Oh yeah forgot about xposed. It doesn't like ART either and will keep you from changes over to ART.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rivethead23:
Xposed is probably it. I always load it in as one of the first things I load. I'll take that out and see. Also thanks for the Gapps suggestion. I ran the black skinned GApps from this thread but didn't like it. I then reformatted and reflashed the rom with PA Gapps. I'll check that as well.

Thank for all the suggestions.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Shadowpaw:
Once you get MMS working you should be able to go back to dalvik and reinstall xposed. I currently have xposed installed now and still have working mms

Question

I am on Lorjays MK4 4.3 and I used Philz 6.0.4.5 recovery. Do I need to change my recovery to flash this with a clean install?

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] andygu3:
6.07.9 is the recommended philz recovery
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] BradBrugger:
Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Well actually you are not on 6.0.4.5 of philz. If you look closely you will notice it says based on cwm 6.0.4.5. To find out your philz version you will need to go into the philz menu (cant remember exact name) then select about and then it will tell you what version you are on.

Anyone having Music playback issues through headphones or bluetooth. My music is cutting in and out
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rivethead23:
Yep fixed it xposed was the problem
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] youngyoshi:
Clean install followed all insturctions everything works fine except i get no service at all... skipped activation still didnt work
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sliverr7x:
Did u use Philz recovery???
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] crxsi420:
I'm having MMS issues as well. I tried the ART fix which allowed me to send/receive MMS. After I switched back to Dalvik I can only send MMS when I capture a picture. If I select an image from the phone/SD card it causes an FC. Everything else is working solid on this phone but I need to stay in Dalvik as I get the ghost voicemail notification error on every build of DU since 4.0.

Any suggestions on what I can try for MMS fix? I've installed clean using latest of Phillz Recovery. Tried the ART fix. I don't have xposed installed now but will need to install to ditch the ghost voicemail notification.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] youngyoshi:
yep
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] NewMC:
I'm having the same issue still, uninstalled Xposed, rebooted, tried several times to switch to ART but each time it booted with Dalvik. I can receive MMS with stock messaging app but can't send. I was finally able to send one with Hangouts but it doesn't receive. Until now if I tried to send with Hangouts it would open Documents picker which would then force close. This is the only issue I have with this rom, everything else is PERFECT. The rom is so good that I won't leave but need to find a MMS send fix, if anyone has any ideas I'm all ears.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jonotwist:
disable google now hotword detection.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Shadowpaw:
As far as philz u want to use 6.07.9 and not the newest from what I've read. Then for a temp work around have u tried going into either gallery or a file manager and trying to share the picture that way through messaging and see if it works for you. Sorry didn't respond quicker been in bed sick last 2 days.

---------- Post added at 09:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:54 PM ----------

I tried running same issue and once I uninstalled xposed and tried re enabling art I had same issue. But once I manually cleared my dalvik and cache in recovery then enabled. It went through and I'm currently back on art after doing that. But even on Art I've noticed a few hiccups with MMS here or there but if it won't send usually toggling my WiFi off and retrying it goes right through then.

GPS question

I have small issue with gps where it doesnt update my current location ill move somewhere then 15 secs or so later it will move to where i currently am and i had some questions about the fix that was posted where it said to flash to a TW rom get gps fix reboot to recovery and flash DU rom... I have a few questions.....What is a TW rom? Is that touch wiz? Is the sprint stock rom 4.3 good enough to flash back to? When i boot to recovery do i do factory reset before rom flash or do a factory reset before I load into the TW rom get gps locc boot to recovery then flash rom?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Shadowpaw:
Yes Tw is touch wiz and if I have GPS issues I'll just load any of them then I usually update prl n profile then open maps and get a GPS lock and boot to recovery then flash away
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] TopshottaYut:
Ok so when I get my GPS lock by going into google maps and I make sure I have High accuracy enabled I boot into recovery and i install the DU rom when its finished I reboot and DU loads and it says system UIDS inconsistent my question is after i get GPS lock and boot into recovery should i wipe cache factory reset etc before flashing rom?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Shadowpaw:
Yes wipe like normal. I've read some people don't wipe I think data I always full wipe and gps worked just fine as long as getting a lock last thing I did before flashing a non Tw rom
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mazwoz:
You should always wipe everything when switching Roms.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Blakestr:
I'm thinking about switching from Jellybomb Domination 21.0.0 on android version 4.1.2.... can I install as normal or is my version too old?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Shadowpaw:
You can just flash just would recommend using philz 6.07.9 not his newest version. You will have to odin on pc the wifi fix or wifi wont work since u havent been on 4.3+ yet. Highly recommend backing up internal storage and wiping as well. Then last thing I recommend is going on maps and getting a gps lock right before you reboot to recovery wipe and flash. Any other questions feel free to ask.

Edit: You can find the wifi fix in lorjays mk4 thread and instructions.

When I came to this I was on Whomp Rom 4.1.2. I prob went a little excessive but I one clicked back to the older lk build and did otas to mc2 then flashed a stock rooted mk4 updated my modem profile and prl as well as the wifi patch then I wiped and flashed this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Blakestr:
What does the gps lock do? out of curiousity? I will backup internal to my sd card (64 gb ) ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Shadowpaw:
Some people have issues with any cm/aosp type roms where they won't get a gps lock. Locking on a touchwiz rom right before flashing has always done the trick for me. Then internal u can back to sd card or pc. I wouldn't back apps and try to restore since not even same android build. Internal on 4.3 and up is structured different so its always advised wipe internal going between roms. I believe also if your sd card isnt Fat format it wont read but I'm not 100% on that I know I had issues with mine and even reformatting in recovery wouldn't work. I poped in pc card reader and formatted and worked like a charm for me. Then just incase you do have issues not being able to send or receive mms what worked was going into dev options down at bottom there a runtime option. If you change to Art it seems to fix mms(will be a long reboot) then if Art is stable you can leave on but I noticed my cpu was locking at 1.6ghz often. Once you send a mms or receive one to make sure working then you can go back and toggle it back to dalvik and mms should work for ya. Not everyone has the problem but just wanted to give you heads up in advance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Blakestr:
I thought fat had a size limit of 32 gb? (it's a 64 gb sandisk).... That would be a deal breaker to me but can someone confirm?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Shadowpaw:
I only got a 32g sd card so cant test but I think your right. I don't know if you might be able to format to fat32 and it should work. But can always try as is if you have a card reader for pc just incase
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Blakestr:
Can someone clarify if this ROM has exfat support? I am assuming it does but I searched the main page and couldn't find anything about exfat support. (By this time maybe it is just considered a given?)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ruff97:
I am use a 64gb but it is format fat32. I come from OmniROM, it did not support exfat for 64gb
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cheyennemtn:
Installed earlier with no problems. We'll actually I tried using TWRP 2.7 and had to go back to 2.6. Anyway I can't get a network signal. Wifi was no problem with installed and restoring some apps but I tried toggling different setting in network, roaming, Airplane mode, rebooting a bunch of times. I'll make a backup and come back to it but for now I have to restore Cyanogen 11 get my messages. Thanks guys.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
So don't use twrp. Just like the OP says.

TWRP has never worked on the L900 for 4.4 builds.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cheyennemtn:
I didn't use TWRP I used CMW recovery eventually and still no network. Ended up Fing up my phone and had to ODIN to stock firmware. Thanks anyway rude dude.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mazwoz:
Really? You never used TWRP? Check your previous post where you started that you used TWRP 2.7 then had to switch back to 2.6 and it still didn't work for you. Don't come in here with questions and then snap at someone that takes the time to respond with the correct answer. Any further responses like that and I'll report your post and have the mods deal with it.

The L900 has a known issue with TWRP. We all recommend Philz for flashing. This has been an issue since kit Kat was released. If you choose to go back to CM, that's fine. Please don't expect anyone from Dirty Unicorns to feel bad that you left. Those kinds of statements don't affect us at all.

Overall, please learn from this experience and understand that someone was helping you and you were rude, not the other way around.

That is all.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Blakestr:
Can I use TWRP to flash the Phil's or CWM recovery?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
yes that is fine
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Blakestr:
Thanks....it will recognize my entire exfat formatted sd card rigfht? cause right now twrp does

Charging While Off

So I flashed DU the other night and it's been working great but yesterday I didn't get a change to charge my phone so I wanted to charge it while it was off. I went ahead and powered the phone off, but when I plugged it in the battery animation that shows you its charging came on and froze instantly. All buttons were unresponsive.

Only thing I could od is a battery pull. I waited a few seconds then reinstalled battery. Phone becomes unresponsive again.

I press the power button and you'll see the IR come on real quick but then that's it.

Couldn'ty go into recovery or anything. I then pull battery again and wait close to a minute then try again. Phone turns on and works fine. I tried it again to make sure it wasn't a fluke. It did it 4 consecutive times. Has anyone else suffered from this?

There's a couple of other things but I rather do one by one. Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Okay power off charging is normally controlled by either kernel or recovery (depends on device). So are you on stock kernel? Also what recovery (name and version please)?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Blakestr:
So I flashed this rom and it doesn't recognized my 64 gig sd card. (i guess there is no exfat support). Can someone advise? Can I flash a kernel with exfat support on this and still use the rom? Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Try flashing the latest plasma kernel (must download from their site as xda thread has not been updated) and see if that works. I am not sure if extfat support must be include in rom and kernel or just kernel. I can not test myself since I use 32gb card formatted as fat32 but I will only take a few mins to test and we will all be wiser if you try.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Blakestr:
I am willing but I need a link to plasma kernel...googling now.

EDIT : http://www.plasmakernel.com/?p=4 I am looking for where it says exfat

I think this is it. http://www.plasmakernel.com/downloads/l900/latest/ I will flash now and report

EDIT 2 : I flashed the kernel and it will still NOT recognize my sd card (checked in solid explorer pro too) . I really like the look and the feel of DU rom but I travel a lot and rely on as much space as possible on my sdcard. If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Welll that sucks. I saw in the OP for 2.02 it does list exfat support. Maybe it needs to be supported in both the rom and kernel. Maybe post in the kernel thread also and see if anyone else has any thoughts. Also [MENTION=3746764]mazwoz[/MENTION] might have some suggestions. He is pretty knowledgeable and can hopefully shed some light on this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Blakestr:
Worth a shot. RIght now I am downloading the Classic Stock NE 4.4.2. zip and will just flash to it. I was mainly trying to get past to 4.3 so my heart monitor could blutooth with my phone.

As far as recovery I'm on Philz Touch 6
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Okay so yes that is stock kernel. I just tested power off charging on my beanstalk (4.4.4 build) with devil kernel. This is what happens. Once off I plug in and it shows first part of charge animation (grey scale battery) then flashes to devil boot picture and hangs. When I remove the charger it just stays there. Battery pull is required to go further. What this tells me? That power off charging is controlled by kernel. So there lays the issue. A kernel issue. I am willing to be every 4.4.+ aosp users has this issue unless they have a modified fixed) kernel.

I have been working on TW 4.4.2 roms lately so I cant recall what the older 4.4 roms did with power off charging. Tell the truth I almost never do a power off charge. I did do some testing of this on my TW 4.4.2 roms because there was an issue where the phone would power up when connected to charger. This was an issue when phone was dead resulting in a weird boot loop for about 10 mins till the battery had enough charge to fully boot the phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mr.f20b:
So how do I fix. I usually charge it when off so it could charge faster but that's all. Anyway to fix?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Charge before you are dead is my only recommendation. Custom roms always come with compromises that we must live with even if it is charging at 2% or so.
