Toolchains are used to compile roms. Google has a standard toolchain used by most devs. "Linaro" is an independent software engineering group that offers a different toolchain that may be used to compile roms. I am not familiar with the nuts & bolts of the project, but basically it offers (potentially) improved performance in certain applications. The difference is most noticeable on slower devices, and it does not perform miracles. It won't turn your Note II into a Note 3, or a Snapdragon S4 into a SD801.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] homephysician:
Anyone seen this before?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
Not at all... Custom kernel? Anything abnormal in your setup?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
Never. Make sure md5 is correct, then clean wipe and reflash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] homephysician:
Its all good man. Ditty flash the new one over the 4.8. Just rewiped and its back to normal. But yes on the custom kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] NXLTrauma25:
So I was on the version from two build a ago. Everything was perfect. Went to Ohio from Maryland and started having the somewhat common cm11 no sms sending bug. Tried every and even switched to older builds and also the latest cm nightly which caused it to work for a day and then start again.

****ing Ohio lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] harshybar:
frustrating huh? I had it work for a week once, i called them and had them "reset" me on their side.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] NXLTrauma25:
What exactly did you ask them and did you just call tech support? Did that permanently fix it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] harshybar:
I just called them and told them the issue i was having, the lady told me to turn off the phone pull out the battery and that she would reset me on the network.

I worked for a week and then it stopped. I gave up after that and returned to TW :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
Times two.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] amoot329:
OK this is just quick thing. Not sure what's causing it but when using Google maps, the GPS only seems to work when I set the location (within settings) to device only. I'm only connected via LTE no WiFi. When I choose either high accuracy mode or battery saving mode. It cannot give me my current location (has a wide blue circle). As soon as I switch to device only, boom location within 10 meters.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TheDiabolicaL1:
Strange. Works both ways here. Do you run gps status as well? I think it's helpful to nail down gps issues.

Speaking of which. Anyone had their nav kinda go on the fritz and take them on a wild goose chase? ****ing thing had me running all over hell the other day and I'm trying to figure out wtf happened. Wasn't even in the neighborhood. Or even the same town.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] amoot329:
No I did not run GPS status. Did not use the trick of getting a lock with aTW ROM before flashing an aosp rom either. I've been getting locks within 5s.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] NXLTrauma25:
Make sure you use the GPS config posted somewhere in this thread. I'm out right now so I can't find it for you but that fixed all the GPS problems when I ran this Rom or any AOSP one
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] djd338:
+2. Exactly! It's been so indispensable for me I now keep it on the SD, & in Dropbox. Flyboy posted it the 1st time I saw it. As he said it has also worked on all asop I've tried. Use in conjunction with GPS Test if you wanna watch it lockup & verify.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flyboy1100:
Glad I could help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] amoot329:
Thanks for all the replies. I don't really have an issue with the GPS that it doesn't work at all. Just only works when I've set my location to "device only". I don't really use Maps a whole lot so its not a big issue for me. Although if others are having issues with their gps, Flyboy would you mind reposting your fix for gps? I'm pretty sure a majority of ppl are too lazy to click on search nowadays.

PS Also does anyone have issues with their cameras locking up when using 3rd party camera apps? I've been using Camera FX Pro and it doesn't start up anymore with the latest 3.10 ROM. It would go black screen with the time in the bottom right corner (as if in landscape mode) and then the app crashes. After it crashes, the 2nd time I try to open it, it says it cannot connect to camera. Will even show this message with the stock camera app too til I reboot my device. The stock camera app does work but I don't like the way it saves the images. Camera FX Pro will save them in individual folders by date.

Well luckily I still have my fix from when I used cyanogenmod. This so far as remedied my issues, just doesn't give me the option for True View and face detector and prolly others. Not a deal breaker for me since I'm more than happy to keep the Camera FX pro app working.

(Sorry, forgot who has the fix posted but I would give credit/props to them)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
I am having stock camera issues on 3.10. I can take 2-3 photos (maybe 4 if I am lucky), then the camera app stops taking photos. It doesn't FC per se. Instead, it refocuses but when I tap the shutter icon, it refuses to take a photo. If I force close the app via settings and restart it, I get the "cannot connect to camera" message and it fails to launch. The only way to get it working again is by rebooting, but it only works for 2-3 photos, rinse, repeat.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] amoot329:
Did you try the zip I posted? It may help with your issue. Pls remember to make a backup before flashing in case you're not happy with it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tulalhyt:
i am just finished read from page 1 (phew ...) to 135 .... (takes almost a week , read while nothing to do)

for best description about my rom I attach my about phone information

also i'm from indonesia, using flexi cdma telecom operator ruim card, is there any setting should i do if I'm chaning to slim rom ?

thanx a lot before.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
Yes, I flashed your zip and it fixed the issue. Some options are missing from the standard camera app, but nothing that I won't miss. Thanks for sharing your file.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] amoot329:
Just read that Google is soon gonna release the camera app as a standalone on Google Play store. Hopefully it'll fix the issue but I'm not holding my breath.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nkmhockey:
I have been having issues with the hardware nav keys not responding intermittently on 3.10.

I was hoping to wait for v4 stable, but I think I need to clean flash. Should I go with stable v3 or give 3.10 another shot?

Either way, I will be dirty flashing stable v4 when it's available.

I love the ROM - keep up the great work!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] burpootus:
3.10 has been good for me. GPS locks, everything works. Haven't used the camera much. Only problem I've had is that one time I pressed the power button to lock and the phone went totally dead. Had to do a battery pull to bring it back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ap0ptosis:
I've had this problem since I first started using this ROM. I was hoping it would be gone in the latest build, because I've had to keep the feature disabled. Love the ROM; hope this gets fixed!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
That happened to me on 3.6 a few times. So far, it has not happened to me on 3.10.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
I forgot to upload stable v4. Will do tonight.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] willg_smith:
This has been my favorite ROM. Everything works with the exception of GPS but I couldn't care less, lol. Great ROM! Appreciate the work you put into it!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
Gps works fine. If for some reason it doesn't for you, read around this thread, someone has posted a fix at least five times.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
1. Use a root file manager to edit /etc/gps.conf (mount as R/W)

2. Scroll to the bottom of the file and change

LPP_PROFILE = 0

to

LPP_PROFILE = 1

3. Reboot
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
I posted build 4.1 for the hell of it, only thing changed is the number really.

I have a question for you guys, I am wondering if there's a color picker for signal and WiFi icons in the status bar (like clock and battery have). Can't seem to find it if there is.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
If so, I can't find it either. But some Xposed modules do that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xredjokerx:
Anyone trying xhalofloatingwindows on this ROM? Not working for me...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mao04:
It works OK for me. Does have a few quirks though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] binxwalker:
Selecting Notification & QS Drawer causes FC for me every time. Anyone else experiencing same? First time using SlimKat, and everything else is perfect for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
Definitely not normal, what gapps package are you using?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] binxwalker:
Paranoid Android stock 4.4.2 gapps. That is probably the issue, unless you have others who have used them successfully.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] binxwalker:
I'm going to reinstall with the recommended gapps and see if that fixes the problem. I got lazy and used pagapps rather than the link in the post.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] amoot329:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2397942

I've always used their Gapps for every rom I've tried. Never had any issues with them. The only thing that could/may be different is I've flashed the MJ9 firmware by BeansTown. Doesn't have the bootloader locked down.

Another thing since you mentioned you are using SlimKat for the first time. Did you wipe the system completely? Also after installing this ROM plus Gapps, did you wipe cache?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] binxwalker:
Flashed ROM again with correct gapps and problem solved. Thanks for your help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] harshybar:
Is anyone from the MD/PA/VA area using this rom? If so are you have the APN issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
I tried it sms still doesn't work :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Tophaholic:
This ROM is working flawlessly for me. I keep jumping back and forth from TW roms - but I am the happiest with AOSP. the 245 dpi is perfect for this phone and AOSP is just overall quicker and smoother compared to TW. And SlimKat is my favorite AOSP rom !
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] darkfayte:
Hmmm, suddenly i cant connect to the Verizon network (Texas area). I can use LTE for internet and games but, no SMS and no outbound phone calls.

ANyone else having issues? I read above that some were getting this. Was it an update lastnight that caused the errors?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MHatter469:
Camera?

I updated on Saturday, all weekend when trying to use the Camera it would freeze. Still or Video. Sometimes it would come up with Camera is not responding Wait - Close. If close, have to reboot phone.

This seems to be ONLY with the Android Camera, other camera apps work fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] firewater88:
Can anyone confirm if dock audio via the USB connection is working? Want to use my car dock as it is meant to. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scottay5150:
My power button is busted. Is there a way to re route my power button to the volume button? And can I replace the power button easily?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
You can't map to the volume button, but you can map to the back, home or menu keys. Settings > Navigation > Hardware buttons > Enable custom actions

But I guess that won't help you turn on the phone. I have no idea how easy/difficult it is to replace. There might be an Xposed module that lets you map power to the volume buttons.

I am moving to T-mobile in the next week or two. If you want, I will sell you my VZW Note 2. Pristine condition except minor scuffs on the battery cover from laying it down. PM me if you are interested.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
T-Mobile has worse signal ever! Don't do it!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
T-Mobile is not a viable option for many people, but it is actually better for me. I bought a month of T-Mobile service and it was consistently better than Verizon in my area. I was surprised, but I struggle to get 1-2 bars of VZW LTE in many places. I never get more than 1 bar of LTE in my home, and no data connection at all about 30% of the time.

BTW, I am selling my unlimited data lines if anyone is interested (PM me)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] HeadKase:
Funny you posted this. Back in November I traveled from Phoenix to DFW. When I got to DFW and turned my phone on to use for navigation as I left the airport it kept trying to switch from LTE to Global. I had to contact Verizon and have them send me another phone. Nothing I tried worked. Hopefully that isn't the case for you and it's something other than that. Which PRL do you have by the way?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] binxwalker:
Not working for me and it's killing me. I haven't found a 4.4.x rom that does support it. I use an iBolt dock what do you use?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dvanzutphenkann:
Couldn't find system.prop file did you mean build.prop?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
No system.prop is a device tree file used in build. I'll change it next build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dvanzutphenkann:
OK I was all excited to edit it lol but I'll be patient

---------- Post added at 03:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:02 PM ----------

BTW if you could look into fixing the weather channel error of not being available for our device in the next build that would clear up all the apps that now have that issue
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ztotherad:
Yes camera works with that build.

I don't know, since my device ruins every SD card that I put in it within a day, I've stopped using them.

Its a DPI thing. You'll need to change DPI to 320, clear play store data, reboot, download your apps. Then if you want to change DPI again, change it and clear play store data and reboot.

same here. i wonder if it has to do anything to with SELinux..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gammaxgoblin:
Running great so far! Tyvm.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] brandonhatty:
Just a stupid question.... But could somebody explain the need to use CWM instead of TWRP with this? I hate CWM!!! It just doesn't seem to work as well. Backup and restore takes forever!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
Only for 4.4 builds at the moment, twrp is not working with 4.4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] .shawn.:
Why when I use es file explorer it won't show my files on my sdcard when you view them from the default rw folder but I can see them if I manually navigate to /storage/sdcard1 ?

Other than this and the proxy bug all I good thus far. Dare I say I think it is even more stable then 4.3 builds I've used in the past. Deff daily driver. Also other then screen off for phone calls what does the proxy sensor even effect?

Also you can no longer sync Facebook contacts from what I can tell.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] brandonhatty:
I just tried with twrp and it works. You just have to reflash the baseband afterwords. I haven't played with it for very long though. I may run into another problem. So far this is a pretty solid rom!

---------- Post added at 08:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:42 PM ----------

Has anybody tried other kernels?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dvanzutphenkann:
I tried on cm11 to flash the modem after flashing ROM with twrp and it was a no go, funny that it works for you but hey I'm not hating good for you

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adamw1101:
Is this ROM set to tablet mode or something the grid size for home screen is like 8x6 anyway to change it I can't seem to find that option
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] brandonhatty:
Use rom toolbox to change the dpi to 320.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dtroup64:
I had the same question— which was kindly answered a few pages back.

You need to edit the dpi in the build.prop from 245 to 320 (for standard). Works like a charm.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mad96:
I'm not sure of the cause but after flashing the 4.3.1 version with the aroma gapps which did install just fine, I needed to restore a BU for some information. For some reason it killed my boot image and after many different attempts I had to odin back to full stock VRALJB then use Adam outlers casual unlock/root to finally be able to get restored. Rom looked and ran great up until that point, I just wanted to share this for anyone who may run into this issue (hopefully not). Thanks for the suggestions in my earlier posts to help me sort this out.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kewal91:
just got this

I got this rom last night and i have to say...DAMN this is good. I switched from PA 3.99 because i have issues with gps and turned out this rom is way smoother than PA which is hard to believe. so far so good. Good GPS, data, installs apps faster. Kinda do miss the Halo thou but I guess you can't have everything in life.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] .shawn.:
All these features will come in time. And it better friggin run smooth 4.4 was designed to run on even the slowest of devices cause they wish to make all android devices to run the same is kinda like apple

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
Let me know if I had a bad upload
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] darkfayte:
PRL = whatever the latest one is.

I went back to stock because im tired of half-ass development being done on ROMS. Half of some things might work for a few days, some features don't work at all, or, work in a weird way, battery lasting like a few hours with use (stock i get easily all day with gaming). Tired of having to update 50 things and use other peoples "fix" for something that should work. These need to be all tagged as BETA or ALPHA ... ugh ...

I wish people could develop like they did when this all started, working ROMS, batt life was good, way more features that worked, etc etc. No more of this patchwork of other peoples ROMs and crossing fingers. Feels very YouTube + Google Search = new ROM.

/end venting

Switching to stock didn't fix my issues - it went from only voice calls to only texting and data use. I think Verizon needs to be contacted. I have to go in since, well, my phone isn't calling out lol. Maybe i will get a Note 3 from the deal haha ... /end wishful thinking
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flyboy1100:
Don't blame the ROM or gchild. This rom has been mostly flawless since I started using it on build 1.5
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] firewater88:
Yes, I use the iBolt dock. Actually 2 of them. One mounted in my daily driver and one on a portable Mount for the wife's car and my truck. I stream all the time while driving. I thought there were a bunch of people who got the iBolt dock,guess they are still on touch wiz.

I did see that both DSP manager and now Viper4android has a tab just for usb/dock, but no 4.4 Rom supports it yet. That's why I'm still on TW. ..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
I see posts like this at least once a week, and they do absolutely nothing to promote the spirit of modding or community. If you have a specific problem with a rom, go to the developer. gchild320 does not develop this rom, he merely provides an unofficial port that is stable enough for most people here to use as a daily driver. He does this freely and on his own time. He owes no one absolutely nothing for his efforts.

ALL roms are going to have some issue(s) for some users. Even stock roms are not perfect. ALL nonstock roms are works in progress and perpetual betas. That is the nature of the beast. If a rom has a bug that prevents you from doing what you need to do, then flash a different one. That is the beauty of android. If you don't like something, you can probably change it. But don't come into a thread complaining about lack of features or having to flash multiple "fixes" to patch something created by android enthusiats and offered for free. Doing so does nothing but piss everyone off. If you have a suggestion to improve a rom, then contact the developer. But ranting like that in this thread just makes you look like childish and unappreciative.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] HeadKase:
Swing by a Verizon store and see if they can get you a new SIM card. Your PRL should be in the 15xxx range by the way. I usually get about a days worth of battery on this ROM using the AGNI kernel and 5 hours screen time. I hardly ever turn location on even when I use google maps. I have 4 email accounts on my phone (primary gmail and 3 corporate which check for email every 15 minutes). I don't have the Facebook app installed I use touch.facebook.com through Chrome. Don't have twitter installed. I swipe away my running applications after I use them. I try to keep my ROM "slim" haha as much as possible and it runs like a champ. Props to [MENTION=4499123]gchild320[/MENTION] for putting this rom together for us. I appreciate the work brother.

You guys that are having data issues or anything of the sort, the issue is likely your recovery. Twrp 2.6.3.1 is perfect for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dricacho:
I'm in TWRP 2.6.3.1, wiped data and cache, then flashed this ROM and the latest GAPPS. I suddenly have poor reception, one bar, two at best even when I'm out doors where I usually have strong signal. Connection is not stable most of the time. When I set my ring and notification tones , it reverts back when I reboot the phone. Anyone has these issues?

I'll be testing second build before upping.
