I'm using Viper4Audio FX and I tried the following, seems to have fixed everything so far but I haven't used bluetooth for calls yet. This is from MikeySmikey on another Note II thread.

"Try this: using a file explorer navigate to /etc/sound and make a copy of that file (tiny_hw.xml) and save it somewhere on your sd card just in case something goes wrong and you need to push it back to the system. Now open the original tiny_hw.xml and make the following edits: (just find the appropriate line and edit the text, save, exit. Don't reboot yet.)

Device name speaker -

<ctl name="AIF1DAC1 Volume" val="105"/>

<ctl name="DAC1 Volume" val="105"/>

<ctl name="Speaker Volume" val="60"/>

Device name earpiece -

<ctl name="Output Volume" val="63"/>

Device name headphone

<ctl name="Headphone Volume" val="57"/>

<ctl name="AIF1DAC1 Volume" val="105"/>

<ctl name="DAC1 Volume" val="105"/>

After you make those edits and save it" reboot, confirm your changes were saved, and everything should be louder.

Does anyone know where you can specifically select your audio decoder for this rom? In most roms it's under Sounds>Music Effects but I haven't been able to find it in any of the settings. I just want to make sure Viper4Audio is working for all sounds, I tried the build prop edits that are known for Galaxy devices but those must be TW specific as those lines do not exist in this build prop. Thanks!

I did not flash/load any of the above. It literally was a fresh flash and I was setting it up when I noticed it. I did a full wipe (for new rom) in Philz and flashed the Rom then Gapps. that's it. Once set up I downloaded all updates from Google store and then noticed this problem. I didn't check with the old Google search.

As for the Gapps I was using the gapps-kk-20140606-signed. I thought that was more or less the standard Gapps. I avoid non standard because themed Gapps in the past I have seen problems with updating the apk's on themed ones.

I can try one of the other ones. Should I rewipe an flash everything again or would it be ok to just flash paranoid or banks over the existing.

Thanks for the help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mazwoz:
I would try a fresh flash with the banks gapps. Banks gapps is not a themed gapps package.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikegenkin:
Thank you. I tried what the previous user advised, by flashing the dirty unicorns plasma kernel, then I installed the synapse app from play store, I tried both voodoo and wolfson, but they didn't work, but there was a link there for Boeffla Sound Control app, downloaded it, and it worked for me. The plasma kernel also improved my data connectivity, I get LTE more often now than prior.

New problem, voicemail. No Samsung voicemail app, gotta figure out how to get it back, as I really hate google voice.

Any suggestions?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rivethead23:
Thanks wiping now. I'll update this post later with results. - Google Now works.*Updated again*- did work. It initially worked after flashing.After some spoken searches the problem begins. if you speak to google now it will crash most of the time on the 3rd or so word. If you clear the data for the google search app it will work correctly I found out so it can be recovered from. However after about 5 or so searches it will continue to crash . Aha It's "audio history". To use OK google from any screen, you must enable audio history. With this enabled after a number of searches the google search app begins to crash. By disabling it the search immediately works again.. enable it again and it immediately starts crashing.

I suspect this may be a problem with google now. Not DU / CM etc. Sorry to muddle things on the thread just was having the problem thought I would ask about it.

Weird thing is when I flashed the other gapps I ended up with a completely different launcher called "Launcher3" that looked like the GEL launcher but had additional options for custom keywords - ie: You could enter in a phrase for it to listen to then by uttering that it would execute the designated app/shortcut etc. Apparently that was supposed to be stock but wasn't.

On a side note I keep thinking this everytime I go back to DU - you guys should make an optional boot sequence using the part of the song "Filthy Design" by Aesthetic Perfection. About 1:24 until 1:29 he repeats "You're just so dirty" 3 times heh

:good:

Update to this I see an option to put in my own boot sound - AWESOME!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] NewMC:
I use Google Voice for SMS but the the voicemail function built into the dialer on this rom downloads automatically (and quickly) and I've been using it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mazwoz:
Not a bother at all. I would rather know about potential issues. Great detective work by the way. You should job is on our g+ community. I could use you for testing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rivethead23:
I'm was in the G+ community for DU. Haven't seen too many posts lately, but it's just not being pushed up to my main G+ view for some reason.

I rather enjoy testing.. what I do for a living (not with software mind you with hardware). Trying to figure out what is wrong and fix it....

Regarding the strange launcher situation -

The launcher3 which is like the GEL launcher for some reason is removed if banks is flashed as the Gapps (Banks standard). It is replaced with the GEL launcher (provided by banks). If you flash the gapps I originally did (gapps-kk-20140606-signed) there is no launcher thus the launcher 3 is left intact. It's not that the launcher is there and can be selected by changing the home. It simply doesn't exist once banks is flashed. Seems to be undoing some of the team's work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Many gapps packages delete certain files from the rom and installs their own. Launchers, mms, browser, camera, and gallery are commonly removed and replaced. If you open the zip and browse to /meta-inf/com/google/android you will fine the updater-script. Open that file and you will be able to see what apps are being deleted.

I like slim gapps because they do not delete any apps and they are work with the dark switch found in most custom roms.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mazwoz:
As stated by the comment above, that gapps package removed launcher 3. Launcher 3 is cm's launcher. It works, but I personally prefer gel

my issues.

I have gone through most of the options... but i have a few issues.

1.) whenever I am using the headset port plugged into my car or my headset... when the screen turns off or i switch out of an app sound goes too. (like how youtube works) I tried with the player, and pandora. but when i turn of the screen or switch apps like text messaging, sound goes.

2.) sound comes in and out while on a call. basically, i think if i unplug and replug in the headset... sound comes back.

3.) multitasking is gone? i can't find it anywhere. I know i have halo, but i'd rather have multitasking window. I thought i saw somewhere that we can now multitask up to 3 apps. (2 is all i need) but I cannot find the option for multitasking. nor is it in the quick launch options.

4.) i need samsung voicemail also... how do i get that back?

5.) I also like the stock keyboard. where there are numbers seperated from the letters.(more room for special characters, and i don't have to keep switching to type in numbers and letters back and forth.

6.) last but not least ... sound... seems like i lost half the sound. I also cannot find viper sound. is it a separate download? if so... where do i find it?

so... those are my issues... rom does reset from time to time... sometimes i pull out my phone... screen pops on and i hit the powerbutton at the same time. and it totally kills the screen. i can still reset... because i know where the button is... and touch works... but no picture. thats all!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mazwoz:
1. I'll look into this. It would be best if you reported it at http://jira.dirtyunicorns.com with logs attached.

2. Is this only while using a headset? Again, would be best if reported on the site above with logs.

3. Multitasking is not gone. You can do it from the recents or via the app circle.

4. Samsung voicemail is a samsung proprietary apk. you can look around to see if anyone has gotten it working with AOSP ROMs, but I wouldn't hold my breath. There are other third party apps that you can use, but we won't put a Samsung specific app in our ROM that is built for 20+ devices.

5. The stock Samsung keyboard is going to be along the same lines as the voicemail app.

6. There are a lot of discussions about sound level with AOSP ROMs on the Note 2. Just looks a couple pages back for suggestions. I don't hear the issue and I'm 40% deaf. I have raised it as high as I can without dropping sound quality.

I would like to point out that two of these "issues" are not issues but personal preference. Providing apks is not something that is standard for ROM development. We work based on the Android source code, not zipping ROMs like TW based work. Please remember the differences before reporting "issues".
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] macpat83:
Can I dirty flash the most recent update? Also is the G+ issue(causing android process error) confirmed to be resolved in the newest update?

OK I took yall advice and tried to download it again and it is downloading successfully. My brother has this rom on his note 2 and even with the stock battery his note 2 lasts like 6 hours longer than mines. Can't wait to install it and try it out for myself!!! Great work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] altimuh:
So far only one problem I've encountered and hopefully someone has a simple fix. I've tried searching g, but haven't found a on answer.

Ever since doing a clean install of DU, my notifications and ringtones only ring once and then stop (no looping). This is an issue for phone calls, and more importantly my alarm clock each morning!!! :eek:

I've tried using different ringtones for phone calls and my alarm clock but the files that used to loop on TW and even previously on cm10 & cm11 simply stop after playing through once.

Please help!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] pimpdad90:
I searched but can't find

How do you turn off the auto hide for the status bar? Mine just started to do it and I, for the life of me, cannot find where to change it back.

Dock Audio Support

I checked through the thread, and only found one comment back in march, with no answer to it. Is there a way to get the dock audio working on this ROM? I thought I found something to set it up, but it wasn't working. I can work around it by just plugging my speaker cable into the headphone jack, but it would be nice to actually use the dock if possible.

Maybe it's a kernel issue? Not sure.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] macpat83:
Upgraded to the newest release, not sure if this is exclusive to me but when I go under manage apps and select an app nothing is populating there. I can't force close clear caches or anything on any of my apps. Not sure what could be causing that problem or how to correct it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] justppc:
It might be related to the active display and/or pocket mode. Occasionally my status bar will disappear around the time of a lockscreen notification related to pocket mode.

I don't believe there is a built in way to auto hide the Status Bar in this ROM.

A big thank to Mazwoz and the rest of DU team, this is a fantastic ROM for Note 2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] macpat83:
Also is anyone else having issue with gmaps? It won't locate me, just gives me "waiting for location" message. I use gmaps a lot so this is a major loss for me. I've checked permissions, did a dirty flash, uninstalled and reinstalled the app, tried flashing a different gapps package etc.. but to no avail. It doesn't work. All other gps related apps(like Waze) work. I am running the DU Gapps package.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] losttaco:
Mine is flawless however im not on newest build.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] justppc:
There was a fix posted a while back to get a GPS lock on a TW ROM via some app like Google Maps and then to immediately flash the DU ROM. That worked for me, as I had to root a replacement phone that I took straight to DU ROM. The GPS functionality wasn't there, so I flashed a TW ROM, got a GPS lock and immediately flashed back to DU ROM. Voila, GPS has been working ever since.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mazwoz:
Try a clean wipe and flash. That seems a bit odd.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mazwoz:
There is, use omni task switcher and there is an expansive mode.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] aheeejd:
Hey mazwoz, I know not much going on with note 2 but it is for me, flashing latest after I dl. Thanks man.

Edit - Running great. Thanks again.

Odd issue here. I use Amazon Prime music and for some reason on this Rom it doesn't advance to the next song. Any thoughts?

Have you tried removing the app and trying again? Have you tried a fresh install of the ROM? Did you flash anything extra (kernel, xposed, etc...)?

Does someone happen to have the plasmakernel_v2-55_l900_kk_dirtyunicorn.zip? the website seems to be down.

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mpoehling:
Thanks, very nice so far. Having fun learning all over again. Like having a new phone..

Just one thing, the Device specifics, both just stop working. It just says "Has stopped working".

Thanks again, having fun with your rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mazwoz:
That is a known issue, should have it fixed soon.

Yes you are. Glad it works for you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] VassagoX:
Don't remember who provided this to me on an earlier version of DU, but I've used it for a while. I've just installed 4.4.4 DU after running DU for the last couple years (My favorite rom by the way, keep it up!) I installed the VVM app right after gapps and tested it. It seems to be working as expected, no settings needed once it's installed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] spotopolis:
Is there a way to revert to the stock DU kernel? I flashed the plasma kernel and it just feels sluggish. Is there a DU kernel zip I can flash?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mazwoz:
Just dirty flash the ROM zip. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] spotopolis:
Will that not wipe my my settings and current config?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mazwoz:
No, that is the point of a dirty flash

This is the one I flashed plasmakernel_v2-55_l900_kk_dirtyunicorn.zip. it was just overall laggy. Even after OC and messing with the governor/scheduler. As soon as I dirty flashed back, issue was gone.

This is exactly why we recommend utilizing the default kernel. If something is missing from the kernel, key me know and I'll look into adding it

You should be fine with a dirty flash, but if you have any issues you may want to try a clean wipe

Im assuming there is no mirror for the 8.1 ROM? Server is still having issues. Also has the WiFi tether been fixed in this version. Im running 7.9 and it will not work. I get a "limited network" error on the client device when trying to connect.

For me the network upload and download status bar icon is no longer working after a dirty flash from 7.9 the battery icon with percentage is not working either. They don't show up. I have cleared cache and rebooted. Still nothing. Not huge deal. Don't want to clean flash.

Audio Jack/sleep wake Issues

I have two issues I'd like some help with.

1. At times it wont wake up from sleep and requires a battery pull.

2. When I plug in something to the audio jack my music apps will only play if its in the foreground. If i navigate to any other app or turn off the screen the music stops. I have had this issue with all CM based builds.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mazwoz:
Honestly, this is probably just a product of a dirty flash.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mazwoz:
honestly sounds like a bad flash. Did you wipe absolutely everything before flashing?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mazwoz:
Try raising the minimum freq on the kernel to fix problem 1.

2. That's strange, but we are not cm based. Not sure what that could be.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ummkiper:
I always do.i even wipe system to install a new rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Noobasaurus:
No issues with either one of those for me. 1st rom ever on this note 2.

Only weird things happening is the signal bar breaks apart from time to time and leaves holes and the screen capture camera will not always disappear before image is taken. See attachment.

I do love this rom tho and am so glad I installed it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] malvarez92:
This ROM is AMAZING!! Thanks for all your great work!!! I love that I can customize almost every aspect of it. Its super smooth and stable. Have had like 3 reboots but nothing major. I thought I was going to miss the SPen with Touchwiz when changing over but I'm in love with my phone more than ever. Everything else works great! One issue I did have was I lost phone/data capabilities when I went into Dirty Tweaks and in Suspended Actions, I switched on the "Switch to 2G" and it would not work until I re-flashed everything. So beware of that option. Another minor thing was when setting up the clock, if I had "Enable Seconds" on with the AM/PM also on, It would show it in the wrong place. Nothing major but just little quirks I found. Also, one last thing I noticed in Snapchat, I could only record about a second and would stop on itself. Couldn't figure it out. Other than that this is a keeper! My new daily for sure. Keep up the great work!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] badvcr:
i think for #2 a quick fix is to turn OFF the ''ok google'' hot word detection in google search settingS. an other work around is, open your music player and unplug your headphones then press play, once it starts playing through the speaker plug your headphones back in... you'd have to do that every time it happens.

hope that helps.
