Thanks for your quick reply! Well that's a "deal breaker " for me.

This ROM looked so delicious!

Ill check back later, Thanks again!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] homephysician:
It is delicious. It's just going to get better. I'm going to ride this one for a while.

I don't think hotspots work on any kitkat roms yet, do they?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Killer Turtle:
USB tethering is only thing that I've been able to get to work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] plainbum:
I went ahead and installed Slim 4.3 as per KK install suggestions here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47931198&postcount=273

I have tethering BUT I can't get GPS to work. I install GPS toolbox from playstore to double check and It wont stop "searching for GPS".

Any direction you could point me in to getting My "Bearings" back?

thanks!

[MENTION=4149538]plainbum[/MENTION] I haven't been on 4.3 in a while so I don't recall GPS issues. I'm on 4.4 and GPS locked almost instantly upon opening maps. WiFi hotspot is not big for me. If I do need it I just boot up backup of a known working ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] .shawn.:
Do you find you need to toggle location to get it to lock. Everytime I needed GPS to work I had to toggle. No issues using pa tho does it's thing quick no toggling.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] homephysician:
No I just checked it and it locked and navigates almost instantly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WeThePeople13:
I just want to say thanks a lot for this build man. I love 4.4 and I love Slim ROM. I just came to the note 2 from the S3 and wow I am in love with the combo of slim and kk!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] plainbum:
Nothing I have done can get it to lock. It has never locked on GPS since I installed this ROM yesterday. I was wondering if there is something I did or is there something I can do now to get my GPS working. I can't continue to use this build if I have no working GPS. Other than my GPS issue, this Slim build is incredible!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] homephysician:
Have you tried restoring a t-wiz nandroid and getting a lock, then go directly into recovery, wipe and install slim? You stated earlier that you were on 4.3, have you tried 4.4? Mine locks on faster than it ever has on 4.4. The Twiz thing seems to be the only fix. Hope this helps you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] plainbum:
Thanks Ill try that, This reminds me of my thunderbold days with ASOP..

I cant use 4.4 because I use tethering daily. Tethering works on 4.3 but as of yet no GPS.

I was on TW when I installed this 4.3 but I guess I wiped too much. I used the instructions outlined here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47931198&postcount=273
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] homephysician:
Yes go directly from GPS lock in t-wiz into recovery it works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] .shawn.:
Tethering works on 4.4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] plainbum:
ok, I installed Jelly beans and locked in on my GPS and Im in recovery again.

When you say Then wipe" what exactly should wipe? I see "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache partition" and then in "advanced" I see "wipe dalvik cache"

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] homephysician:
But not hotspot right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] plainbum:
Oh really?? Thats why I resorted to 4.3 is because of all the earlier comments that Hotspot/tethering doesn't work.

ooohhh you mean USB tethering works, riiight?

ok that did it, I am on 4.3 and GPS is now workin!! Yaaaaay!! thank a bunch everyone for all your help!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
New build is up, same link. Call sensor works just fine now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] homephysician:
Thanks, confirm proximity sensor working.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chizler:
can this be dirty flashed over cm11?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] homephysician:
The op recommends a clean wipe. I can tell you that it will be a better experience for to wipe. It's also easier to diagnose problems when it's a clean slate.

The new philz recovery is a beaut...worked awesomely for a KitKat rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chizler:
just installed philz recovery yesterday and have been wanting to flash something with it, im running CM11 now might have to flash slims later today.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chizler:
Installed this about a hour ago, and have to say that this ROM is sweet. So far everything is working great.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] viper31573:
i thought this was asked before, but i searched the 1st 9 pages and dont see it. how do i made everything a little bit bigger?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
Adding it to FAQ

Q- Everything is smaller on this ROM than what I'm used to?

A- DPI is set at 245. You can change it in build.prop in your system folder. Make sure you set permissions back once you have messed with the file! 320 should get it back to how you see it on most ROMs with no tweaking. You can also use an app such as ROM toolbox to change it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] viper31573:
thanks, got that done. now what do you mean by set permissions back?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
Depending on what program you use to edit your build.prop it can change the permissions of the file
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] viper31573:
i opened rom toolbox and then used rootbrowser. changed the 245 to 320,saved it and then rebooted
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
If you successfully rebooted you are all good

Anyone know if Devil Kernel is working with the 4.3 Slim?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] plainbum:
Could you explain this "hacked hotspot" please
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ztotherad:
idk how people can stand it being at 320, 245 is almost too big for me. i like it at 230-240 lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
I run 220 typically :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WeThePeople13:
Is this 4.4 or 4.4.1? BTW I was running your 11-27 build and it ran great.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
Still 4.4 ATM
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WeThePeople13:
Any plans on moving onward to 4.4.1?? I know the rules of not asking for etas lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
I believe it's already been merged, so next build
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WeThePeople13:
I just came here from the S3 and I have to say this phone screams compared to the S3! Only thing I miss is the crazy amount of devs. I still have my HTC rezound and that is a very small community like the N2. I love when you go on xda and see the same people and more of the small group family feel but the variety feel is nice too. Thanks again bro keep up the good work. If possible I will try to throw you a donation before the new year.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
Not necessary throw it to the guy that makes cm possible on this device or to the guy who makes slim possible on note 2 in general. Listed both of them by name in post 2.

Some of us are old... and our eyes are even older! :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chizler:
dont know if it was mentioned, but the phone charges extremely slow, put on charger last night before bed just unplugged it and its only at 92%.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] homephysician:
I know this is probably overly simple but check your charger or cable or even the charging port on your phone. I don't see a difference in charge time.

SLIMKATN2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chizler:
Brand new Samsung charger that has been charging my phone great for the past two weeks, wall outlets have been changed about a month ago.

Weird that this is the only time this has happened.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] homephysician:
Maybe you have something running in background. When I first started running kk I had battery issues but fix permissions and its back to normal. I also had some hot reboots that would eat the battery. The permission fix seems to have cured it for me. Hope this helps you.

SLIMKATN2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chizler:
just curious how do you fix permission? i will try that and let you know.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] .shawn.:
Prob had one of those hot reboots I mentioned. If your phone hot reboots after this the battery drains seems to tripple. Maybe gets lock on max CPU frequency? Idk. Only way to fix is a solid reboot. This for some reason is also a issue I had with pacman 4.3. So if you did have this happen and even if the charger was plugged in there is no way for the charger to supply sufficient power to charge battery for charging when the CPU or what ever it is is chewing up power like a starving Ethiopian.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
I have yet to see a hot reboot on 4.4 ROMs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] .shawn.:
Always happened when I use the Google voice option to type.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] khanam:
I can confirm devil works on 4.3 slim
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] .shawn.:
R there any usable 4.4 kernels?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] johnp357:
wireless tethering

i'm confused. does it work now? some are saying yes and some no? this is all i'm waiting for to jump back in to 4.4.

TIA
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] homephysician:
No disrespect but what is "it"?

SLIMKATN2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
Not sure man, mine locked immediately.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dtroup64:
So did mine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lightsout:
Nice! Been missing slim ever since I sold my toro. Thanks for another choice!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] viper31573:
at bottom of lock screen says "roaming indicator off" is this normal? i assume since i dont leave the country this is something i dont need to worry about?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dtroup64:
Mine says "Blood Suckah!"... Under Interface you can change the custom carrier label and that's where it seems to appear.

(in case your shaking your head... I'm in a production of Dracula at the moment... lol)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmike35:
When you flash the AIO zip, is a screen in recovery suppose to appear or how do you choose what apps to get installed? I am using team win latest recovery. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RemnantKing2:
Yes, that's pretty much how it (and all aroma scripts) work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmike35:
Is that a yes it should have appeared and walked through what apps I wanted in recovery or is there a option in the settings somewhere? Or is it they all installed, now I go through and unistall what I dont want from titanium?

normally do minimal. I see that play store, gmail, hangouts, google+ and settings installed. I assuming it worked then
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RemnantKing2:
There's two AIO packages, one that installs everything, and an aroma option that let's you choose what to install. You probably chose the one without aroma, and therefore you'd manually have to uninstall the apps that you don't want.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmike35:
Ahh thanks, makes sense. Not a big deal, thanks for the response
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Tophaholic:
Hey....I tried this ROM...but browser is acting weird on me. News.Google.com looks all screwed up. A few other sites are looking messed up as well. Any of you guys seeing this issue? Looks like graphical glitches.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dvanzutphenkann:
maybe this is a dumb question but is this built on your 4.9 OR 4.7 sabermod toolchain?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
No this is built with linaro 4.7.

Sabermod isn't my chain BTW, its from this github https://github.com/SaberMod
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dvanzutphenkann:
Just a figure of speech but thanks for the correction I wouldn't want to offend anyone there's a lot of touchy people on here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mdbowman:
Slim is what I run on grouper and toro. I love slim but not sure if I can give up beans rom. Will definitely be following here to check out how things are going for everyone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmike35:
I set lockscreen shortcuts but nothing will show up, anyone else having this problem? Also had that isses with my gnex. Is there another setting I'm missing. Tried just one to filling them all (think 5 is max).

I am using Dashclock app/widget for home screen, this be a issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
I just set up some targets and they worked for me, so I'm guessing you forgot to press save when you were done setting them up?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] a lawless a:
Is this a tw rom or aosp rom ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmike35:
WHich save key are you talking about. Under Settings < Lock Screen < Shortcuts (I hit the + add my icons) and I don't see a little save button and hitting menu doesn't bring it up. All I see is the reset, + and I (icon tip), and the back key from settings. I tried setting up, hitting back, going into lock screen targets and hit save and that didn't work. Am I missing a save key somewhere...feel like user error lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
It's top right corner
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] .shawn.:
Yes its stable enough for daily driver
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] johnp357:
Subject header must not have gone through. I was referring to WiFi tethering. Thanks.

So, I haven't tried beta yet, downloading it now, but on alpha there is no data while on a call and mute doesn't work on the phone. Is that stuff fixed in beta?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] homephysician:
Well it worked for me after a reinstall. Wiping is key. Must be clean. But yes it all works including proximity sensor.

SLIMKATN2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rayden25:
On beta. Proximity works, mute works; still no cell data while on calls. Anyone else?

BTW, factory reset three times and wiped system once prior to install.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Sir-Lancelot:
Great ROM. :good: Thank you!

Everything works great - better than I expected really for such a new build.

I do have a question. I cant get HDMI to work and I have to have this in the car to connect to my appradio which uses HDMI for audio/video and bluetooth for the touch screen. Is this not supported? Yet to be added? Something I am doing wrong/overlooking?

I have been running TW 4.1.2 exclusively but decided to try something new. Is HDMI something that is still evolving on 4.4 or just missing from most aosp roms.

I have had a beautiful experience on this rom and would prefer to keep this one but HDMI support is a deal breaker for me unfortunately as I have to have music in the car, :confused:

would anyone be able to drop some knowledge on me with this? Am I stuck on TW for the time being or ?

Thanks for any assistance.

:silly:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ztotherad:
haha, i have bad eyes my self, but of course I'm only 25 =p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] homephysician:
Well lance, I haven't even tried it. I used to use the all share or what ever it's called. I'm sure in time we will have increased function but for now I'm the happiest I have ever been with my phone.

SLIMKATN2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Sir-Lancelot:
Yeah. I really like this ROM but for the life of me i can't get it to do what I need it to do. The set up uses the Samsung MHL adapter to send music and video to the head unit and blue tooth for touch display.

I am going to bring the adapter inside tonight and see if it works on the flat screen. That should answer the hdmi question on this rom just curious if it is an aosp thing or hopefully just missing something.

Thanks for the reply.

//Lance
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
MHL hasn't worked on aosp for any phone I've ever owned. I think your stuck on touch whiz roms for that use.

Issues

Hi,

I love this ROM, once I got it installed it is amazing. Had issues in trying TWRP and for whatever reason ROM Manager would not install CWM Recovery. Finally found a zip to flash it from TWRP.

I have read through the threads and am having some issues that I did not see addressed:

First, Phone/Headset. Nothing whatsoever. Pandora/Headset works. Navigation/Headset works. YouTube/Headset works. Phone no sound at all. And by headset, I am talking about the port. I am really plugging into my car stereo input.

Second, Tethering, I cannot WiFI Tether,I really needed tethering, found that I could USB Tether which got the job done Although it did disable itself a couple times and I had to reconnect. .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] themolester:
Help! I've flashed many roms, never had a problem... I just flashed this one, and love it... problem is, I lost my sdcard mountpoints...

I can see my sdcard in clockworkmod, but not in kitkat. can anyone help? where is the fstab located, and does anyone have a backup for it?

EDIT: I reinstalled beans 22, and have all my sd contents back... but would much rather run kitkat. I haven't seen anyposts how to fix this, am I the only one affected? One odd thing is that when I am in kitkat, it shows a sd card, but it's not the 64GB sd card, or the 16GB internal sd card... it shows up as a 10GB partition, with 8GB used... but no content (all folders empty)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] inferol:
Hmm... If i'm correct, when you flash rom, all your content from SD card might have created new folder named "0" /data/media/0, so it's possible all your sd card are in "0" folder

browse through the directory and locate the "0" in data/media/0 and then restore them to the correct directory.

If this still not work, then i hope someone have a look at this and find a way around. I'm pretty sure your contents are saved somewhere in the new '0' folder.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] themolester:
Thank you for replying. Its not in a subdirectory, that wouldn't have been so bad. I refreshed jelly beans room and all my SD contents was intact, and works perfectly, except that it's jellybean and not kitkat.

In kitkat, it isn't mounting the correct path. Settings\storage lists the wrong size for internal storage, and shows no external SD card. Clicking "mount sd" does not do anything. However, ejecting and reinsert in the SD card does show preparing SD card... Nothing after that.

I confirmed this by running df on a terminal emulator. It shows a ~900mb partition that the main storage is on, a ~10gb 'SD card' which I don't have. It should show a 16gb internal SD card, and a 64gb external... Neither show up.

One theory I just thought of... I know jellybeans rom has a custom kernel on it, does the stocj kitkat kernel support exFAT? I noticed the 64g card isn't FAT32... No idea what the internal is...

Edit:internal says fuse
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dricacho:
Flashed this ROM last night and it's working very well, so far no issues. One quick question though, how do you enable multiple widgets in the lockscreen? The screenshot in the first post show a lockscreen with the clock and weather widgets.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
That screen is from previous android versions, sorry
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
I have the exact same issue. My sdcard refuses to mount, despite Settings > Advanced options > MediaScanner behavior on boot is set to "Scan media". Under Settings > Storage, when I tap "Mount SD card" the notification bar flashes "Preparing SD card" but nothing else happens. I can go into CWR and mount the sdcard manually, but when I boot into the rom, it mysteriously disappears again. Root Explorer /extSdCard shows an empty directory, and so does /storage/sdcard1 (which are the same). /storage/sdcard0 shows my internal memory, like normal. I want to play with this rom, but if I can't access my external sdcard, I'll have to go back to my old rom :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] homephysician:
Hi guys, I had the same thing happen with my 64 GB card. It would mount and read in twiz, but on slim it would go through the mount motions but never could access it. I wound up putting the card back in my computer and reformatting it to fat32. It mounts and reads it now. I haven't try adding anything to it from the phone yet. I loaded what I had on it before the reformat. Hope this helps.

SLIMKATN2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] abe_cedar:
Guys

U need an aosp kernel with exfat support. There are several.

Don't know if the kernel that comes with the rom has exfat support
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JoeyDVDZ:
I just wanted to thank gchild320 for this amazing ROM. It's faster than a greased goose, and as smooth as a baby's butt. Sweet! Thanks for your hard work! Not a flaw to be found either, which is very noteworthy for a 4.4 ROM on the Note 2. You're my hero!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
I had a feeling that was the problem. I have an extra sdcard that I'll reformat and try again. Thanks

Edit: Yep, that was the culprit. My fat32 card is detected. I just flashed SlimKat this morning but everything seems to running great. Silky smooth UI, no system app FCs, GPS lock is almost instantaneous, call quality is the same as my old 4.3 rom, and cell network & wifi signal are solid. Very impressive build for a beta. I think I have found my new daily driver :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TheDiabolicaL1:
I installed following these instructions to a T after downloading 4.4 and the correct gaps. Did all my wiping as stated above, in the correct recovery etc etc. I get through the note 2 screen and into the pulsating slimkat screen, where, it seems to hang. After waiting 25 minutes, I finally caved and pulled the battery. The phone was hot as **** too behind the camera-above the battery. I've tried several variations of installing it, a few installs clean with no gapps, dirty flashes, redownloaded the rom even and flashed it again, no dice. MD5 checked out with both my downloads.

I'm stuck--help!?
