I'm on 12/20 build with 4.4.2 gapps using cwm to install.

I've experienced no camera issues but I'll admit have not put it through its paces. When I've wanted to take a picture using stock or via instagram...no problems.

I came from 10.2 build and did a data cache wipe. Did not wipe system in case that has any relevance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] laxattack:
Anyone been having issues charging? While in the stock kernel my phone wouldn't charge. When I switched to the devil kernel, the phone charges fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fordmanck:
No issues AC charging on the stock kernel. DC charging was a little slow.

For anyone not using devil kernel, get on it. The differences are astonishing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] burpootus:
I can confirm camera issues with 12/24 build. Quickly switching from camera to video mode and beginning a video seemed to trigger the lock up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MrRedPants:
I just reproduced this on the 12/20 build referenced in my previous post.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
+1 for devil kernel .And he just fixed all the sensors. I'ts awesome.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fordmanck:
I waited for sensors to be fixed to use it full time. I can't get over how much more responsive the stock keyboard is now to swiping. I was having to slow down before and now I can swipe at my normal super speed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MrRedPants:
Can you post a link to this kernel

Is it a flashable zip via recovery?

Thanks

Make sure to download the t0lte file.

Downloaded - DUAL or standard or does it matter?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fordmanck:
I use the dual. I don't know if it matters or not.

Also, download his kernel app for controlling it.

Camera issues are even worse on the 12-26 build. I duno if it has to do with various camera commits that were added in this build. I can make all 3 of my camera apps freeze just by taking multiple pictures quickly. I already provided logs so I don't know how else I can be of help to resolve this.

This link doesnt work for me, where is the kernel app located? Thanks!

Weird, it's doing the same to me. Go to the kernel thread I linked earlier. It's in the OP of that thread.

Yesterday was my first full day with the rom (12-24 build) and had great life, 3hrs screen on at 50%, been a while since I had seen that. Today 2hrs40mins and I am at 8%. Im gonna learn how to pull a log file so maybe I can see what was going on. I need to find a good battery monitor as well but seems like Screen 31%, Android os was 23%, play services 10% and system 7%. Chrome was 2%, normally my usage is heavy on the screen then followed by chrome in the 20-30% in touchwiz roms with similar behavior.

Guess I will still try it but Im in the same boat as you, at least the "restart camera" apk helps me make the rom functional. BTW which camera apps do you use, I found procapture to be solid but miss the metering feature in the samsung camera app. I gotta say samsung panoramic is probably the best I have used as well but luckily its only once in a while I actually use that. Wish there was a samsung camera app.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xavier86:
Can't comment on battery charging. I use an external samsung charger with an extra battery and just swap when its dead. Camera crashes for me using camera ICS. Stock camera app seems okay. The touchwiz camera app i like a lot. 12/23 has been good for me so far :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] KnightCrusader:
I love how stable this ROM is. The battery life seems better, and the display seems more responsive.

However, that being said, I am not digging the lack of standard CM features that I have been used to in the past few releases.

I can't find things like:

Swipe across taskbar for brightness

Mouse pointer for stylus when hovering

Hide time from status bar

I am not sure if they haven't had time to port the custom stuff from 10.2 to 11 fully or - god-forbid - they are removing even more features like they did with the power widgets in the version before. (Yeah, I tried the Quick Access Ribbon - it needs some more options like controlling the brightness button behavior to a toggle instead of popping up a menu, and ability to change the size of the icons.)

I am debating whether or not to roll back to 10.2 for a while and wait to see if these get added back eventually.

But like I said, overall experience... very good, stable Android ROM. I'm just picky about my UI.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dbrickg:
Am I just unlucky, or does this not work with ART? Or maybe I'm just not looking in the right place. I grabbed the kernel in the OP from this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2299261

But the date on that is 24 Oct 2013, which seems kind of old for anyone to say "he just fixed".
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mlin:
Typically when rebasing on a new version of Android, features are added back gradually but sometimes not at all so it's hard to say what will return and what won't.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrbobo1:
I can't speak to the stylus but you can do the other two things using gravitybox and xposed. I also like to use xuimod to go to the 1%battery bar.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dbrickg:
Nice! That's moderately confusing :) Just to double check, the correct kernel for the Samsung Galaxy Note II, with cm11, and ART, is labeled Devil2-2.2.5b-t0lte-DUAL-20131226.zip. Right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
You got it.

If you are running devil's kernel and you flash a newer CM 11 nightly, do you have to reflash the kernel?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fordmanck:
Yes sir.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 66racer:
Hey guys,

I have a question with nightlies since I never had a supported phone before. Can these be dirty flashed or does it need a full wipe. I have always done full wipes because of issues that can occur with dirty flashes, but didnt know if CM was designed to be done that way.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nullmem:
If updating from recent nightly just dirty flash or even better use the cm update feature in about section to automatically download and flash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JustusIV:
So what are people doing with the devil kernel? What makes it better then stock? I switched governers and OCed anything else?

Is there not a Developer menu in settings? Titanium Backup is crashing. The error popup says to select USB debugging in developers section. :eek:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WisdomWolf:
I don't think that's causing it to crash, but you unlock developer menu by tapping build number 7 times in about section.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
I use it for volume level increase and that's it. Other than that it's about the same as stock kernel in terms of battery and performance unless your a tweak addict.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nullmem:
Wisdomwolf is correct, the usb debugging is only for older versions of android, and is not needed for 4.4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mac of York:
Anyone having issues with devil and the sensors? My proximity sensor hasn't worked since I went to devil. The battery life is killer though :D

Edit: Latest titanium update is making it crash btw
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rippedwarrior69:
Do you have to reflash kernel after nightly update?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WisdomWolf:
Sounds like you are on an old kernel. The sensors were fixed in his Christmas release.

Yes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jiggabitties:
I flashed the latest Devil Kernel, camera still freezes as normal. Usually either after taking a few pictures in a row, or switching between camera modes. If anyone would still be needing a log, I can provide one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 66racer:
Yeah same here. I absolutely love this rom but for the moment went back to 4.3 for a bit more stability. Battery life has been funny too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nullmem:
Update: First I tried updating to 12-27 build to no avail, as the battery life was about the same. I then changed the stock kernel to Devil2-2.2.5b and the problem completely vanished. My battery life is better than it ever was.

Sound Problem

Ive tried to read through the plethora of posts but with two kids screaming DADDY every 10 seconds its tough, so please forgive me if this has been asked.

Has anyone else tried headphones with this rom?

Ive tried 3 different revisions up to 12/26 and audio output is not routing properly to the headphones.

What it will do, is if headphones are plugged in, you can hear some system sounds such as the clicks that sound when you touch the screen.

But You can not hear numbers being dialed, youtube audio won't play, spotify audio won't play.

Unplug the headphones and everything sounds just fine through the speaker.

Ive Tried the different revisions of this rom with stock kernel, and devil kernel as well. Wiping Factory/Cache/Dalvik multiple times between each flash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MrRedPants:
Anyone know if there is a trick with touchwake and devils kernel?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mlin:
Do you mind sharing the 12/9 build you have? Also, any major issues you've cone across with it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] whoot:
I was having this same issue with the 12/23 rom, didn't check to see if system sounds were working though. I think my speakers were working fine as well. Hopefully it's fixed soon
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] midiology:
Yeah, its odd, because the touch sounds such as clicks and pops play through the headphones, but phone dialing, call audio, youtube, spotify, any other normal audio does not play through the headphones.

I tried flashing the devil kernel to see if there was maybe a broken link somewhere between the os and the kernel, but it did not alleviate the issue.

I haven't tried overlaying the 12/27 version yet, but I didn't see any commits in the timeline dealing with anything as such.

I did notice that the camera on the 12/26 seems to be working much better, but if you have the camera app running and let the phone fall asleep for a minute then wake the screen back up, it locks up the cam, then begins the could not connect to camera again thus requiring a reboot..

Also regarding audio, every time I reboot the phone, my notifications audio level automatically resets to 50% meaning I have to adjust the volume back to full every time I reboot. Did not do that on the earlier version I tried.

But I have to say this rom is amazing. Its my daily driver even though there are a few bugs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fordmanck:
I haven't tested the latest build but I was having the same problem but only if I was using my input to my car. My headphones work right every time, but my input to my car I have to pull back out and reinsert a few times before it eventually works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rclar144:
The Google now dialer isn't working. This is a great feature for Google now. Does anyone have a zip of one that is working?

There is a link a few pages back for an apk to restart the camera, so you no longer have to reboot to use the camera after a lock up.

Camera Issues

Been having Camera issues with it freezing and then receiving the error "Can't connect to Camera" in most build for the past few weeks. I did not have a chance to test each build and am usually running the most up to date or the day before.

Issue happened again today, so I updated to latest nightly, reflashed latest GApps package (PA 4.4.2 from OP), and reflashed Devil Kernel.

Upon restart I was able to take one photo and then the capture button wouldn't press again, attempted to switch to video and Camera froze. I will try to flash GApps PA 4.4 instead and will post back if it helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Syns:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Cyclin:
You are very correct, tried PA 4.4 on lunch and replicated the issue first try. Flashed back to PA 4.4.2. What is puddy camera? I was under the impression that this issue affected all cameras not just the stock app?

Thanks a ton man! If it would help I can do a log of the issue happening. For me its almost always after I take the first picture, the camera will still show movement at first but the button locks up.

Hopefully you got your Christmas photos after all, we ended up using the wife's phone instead of mine. :good:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mistermagic87:
Rom was working great for me on the 12/29 version - I just attempted to try the 12/30 build and the stock browser and developer options in settings were really slow and force closed a lot right after flashing so back to the 12/29 I go for now.

I may be using this as a daily driver unless I run into serious issues after using it for awhile it's so snappy and fast for a nightly!

Currently I'm trying out FolderMount because lately the only thing stopping me from a 4.2-4.4 rom was the lack of SD swap/moving applications to sd.

I'll report back if FolderMount works for me as a replacement for sd swap. I've tried the majority of every sd swap/script out there that I could google or search on XDA. I'm hoping to get it to work and this may be the only thing I've had come close - I'm able to link folders up without any issues yet I just need to test with a larger file to make sure it is indeed storing the application and data on my external.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] timmyd463229:
Since I installed this I've stopped getting notification from tapatalk has anyone else noticed this

As of the 12/30 version I can happily state that

I hate hangouts so much. I use 8sms, closest thing I could find to a Inverted MS with aosp look.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MrMuzik:
8sms doesn't even have anything close to inverted. In fact the "inverted" "dark theme" is terrifying. I made an inverted theme of 8sms that I release on TeamUSCellular. http://upload.teamuscellular.com/5Cf You might like it. It goes well with any ROM. Especially AOSP! Just enable the dark theme and you'll see it! (If you have issues close and re-open the app). Great for kitkat y'all!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DX.Deception:
What do you mean by issues? I had a slight lag before the background went to black every time I went into a conversation. Other than that it looks slick.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MrMuzik:
Exactly what you experienced. The short lag and sometimes the theme being applied from the light to dark in the theme. Those are just issues with the app and not the theme itself. So a quick close and open makes it happen.
