Battery Life has improved significantly on the past couple nightlies!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cpomike13:
I've seen a lot of talk about flashing the modern. I have great signal. I don't need to do that, right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fordmanck:
It's not necessary, totally up to you. My phone gets better signal with it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tgyberg:
I didn't notice any difference with the newer modem
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fordmanck:
I have a place I spend a lot of time at each week that I have horrible service at. I was never able to send texts or receive calls before this modem. I'm sure everyone's results will vary.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tgyberg:
^ Nice! Kinda funny, every phone I've had has always just been the same (good) with every newer modem. Nothing to complain about for me!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] CallerHoller:
Well I guess my device just doesn't like MJ9. Getting it from different places and downloading repeatedly hasn't changed anything. LTE seems a little slow on MJ9 anyway. So I'm not missing out. I'll just hang with older modem till a new one comes along.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmike35:
I noticed that with stock kernel in esfile explore or adb I can mount /system but when I flashed devil new kernel (2.3.2) I can no longer mount /system via adb nor esfile explorer. Anyone notice this or just me?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fordmanck:
Can someone go to hangouts and try to take a video to attach to a message please? My camera comes up all grainy and locks up if I hit record.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmike35:
Restored a backup I made yesterday from 1/4 build, everything looked fine besides no service, everything said unknown. I am using latest cwm, this was my first restore. Anyone else have troubles like this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fordmanck:
I honestly haven't restored in awhile. I know that early on with 4.4, if I flashed a 4.3 ROM and then tried to restore a 4.4 after I could never get service. The only way to fix it was to fresh flash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmike35:
Yea I haven't either because have heard people running into this problem I just testing it out and wanted see if it still issue does twrp solve this issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fordmanck:
Nope. Same issues with it as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmike35:
Thank you sir!

Are you running devil kernel by chance? If you are, can you see my post on previous page about the /system not mounted on devil but it will mount on stock kernel. Which is weird, I wouldn't think a kernel would affect mounting
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Syns:
Just installed knightly and still having issues with WiFi direct. Will not search for devices nor renaming the device. Can someone test this and let me know if you are having the same issue
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fordmanck:
I was running devil but I switched back to stock this morning to do some testing. I'll check it out this evening though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmike35:
Flashed newest build, I notice when setting the volume up/down to scroll using cursor during typing, it does not work, still controls volume instead of cursor back and forth. People confirm this? It works when I install gravity box and set it tho, just not in the rom itself
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hafridi:
Installing the latest nightly build. Will keep everyone posted.

BTW thank you for doing such a great job.

EDIT: It wouldn't not allow me to run the update from the settings after download. It could be because im using philz recovery. I shall install it manually then.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cpomike13:
I'm getting some seriously slow charging with 1/6 w/devil. I have the settings pumped up too. Maybe 10% a night!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
Working great here. That really Stinks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cpomike13:
It's showing that it is charging, I'm gonna change to a new cord, and see if that helps. I'll post results.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dbrickg:
It seems to me that with cm11 I get wildly variable charging/discharging rates. Even on the same ROM. Frequently is seems that after a fresh install of a new nightly, I'll get very fast discharge, and then, after recharging, it'll slow down again. I really don't know what it is.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] evodroid13:
My android OS is burning through my battery really quickly never seen this before, usually screen is what takes up my battery juice. Is this normal?

---------- Post added at 09:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:56 PM ----------

And this is this normal?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nullmem:
Yup, I have exact same results with all recent builds using stock kernel. I currently use Devil kernel and I am getting amazing battery life.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kuchar09:
That's what I have been getting running an older nightlie n stock kernel so yesterday I dirty flashed 1-10 with devil kernel and got amazing battery life last night, but today is the real test. Just a thought if you want to try something to fix it.

Is there any way you can point me to the devil kernel thread?

I've flashed each of the builds since early December. The best build I've found has been the 1/7. After that I have been having issues especially with the Android OS utilizing above 40% in battery. The 1/7 build is around 15%. I'm also using devil kernel.

Would the latest version of GAPPS from PA have this included? It's data 1/11/14?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fordmanck:
Not sure. I'm still running 12/30. Either way all of your apps would have updated through play store except the app I posted the link to. It was a leak so I'm not sure if it's included.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jimmypop13:
I'm running the 1/9 build and getting massive battery drain from android os also. In 21 hours of use, android os keep awake time was also 21 hours! I'll try the new 4.1 Google play services. Hope it helps
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jimmypop13:
I tried updating Google play services. It didn't help. Still getting keep awake times almost identical to how long the phone has been off the charger
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
Sounds like it's time for a fresh flash. I'm running latest build and not seeing bad drain like a handful of you are.

Camera Focus

Does anyone have issues where you focus the camera on the object you want to shoot and then when you tap the capture button the photo turns out blurry? This does it with both macro and regular shots. I am running the latest Devil Kernel if that matters.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zlatty:
Yes. It drives me crazy!! It just does not want to focus anywhere else but the center.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nick19268:
It isnt even that. It won't stay in focus when you take the photo! Is it the kernel or a ROM issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zlatty:
Well you have to take two photos. Once when you touch to focus and it becomes blury, and then second time when it auto focuses correctly. I have no idea what the issue is. There have been some additions to the camera app that are making it hard to enjoy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nick19268:
It even does it with Camera 360 and other camera apps too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] timmyd463229:

Hows the new build running? Still having high andriod drains? Stock kernel or with Devil kernel as well?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jdustinb:
Can anyone confirm whether the latest builds work with an Exchange account? I attempted both 1/7 and 1/9 but would just continue to see "Waiting for sync Your email will appear shortly." without anything happening beyond this.

---------- Post added at 03:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:08 AM ----------

Doesn't work for me either, I believe it doesn't actually have access to the secure element and therefore won't work for our device. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. But why not update to a more recent build?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jiggabitties:
I have had this, but it seems to me like it's the thumbnail that comes out blurry. For me anyways, if I zoom in on the picture that looks blurry, it will clear up after a second.

I'm not sure that our device supports the Host Card Emulation, I know it lets you set it up, but I've yet to be able to use it successfully. I've been staying current to the nightlies, even doing a fresh flash usually weekly, no go .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] LG13:
For the weather widget. Make sure the custom widgets has a check mark next to it when you first click in to settings > lockscreen
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tdrussell:
It's both - The focus issue is driving me absolutely bonkers. It's impossible to take macro pictures because the phone won't autofocus on something that close. The blurry gallery image is almost as frustrating. These are new issues within the last week or two...maybe introduced in the 12/30 PA gapps? I just noticed there's a new gapps package, might try that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nick19268:
I did not do a fresh install but I did flash the updated PA gapps and I still have the blurry issue and the camera focus issue. Would a fresh install fix this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jiggabitties:
I agree the autofocus has definitely been an issue, especially on the stock camera app. I use the camera app from the nexus 4, I had my brother package it up for me straight off his device, it has been better on the focus for me. Better, not perfect.

Fresh flash hasn't made any difference. I do a fresh flash pretty much weekly, dirty flashing the nightlies in between.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tdrussell:
I thought i recall seeing something about gapps installation skipping apps that are already present...i could be wrong...but if that's the case you might need a clean flash for the new gapps to take.

I can confirm though that it's not fixed in 1/13 nightly...though it may not be a build issue.

If you're using Nova, long press on a homescreen, hit shortcuts, then activities, tap on Advanced Display, and then Advanced Display Settings. A shortcut should appear on your desktop taking you to the display settings you want.

What have you guys been using to back up your data and apk data? My backup pro is broken for me and cwm fails to complete the back up process I assume this is the case for everyone else. So I ask what are my options?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nkhex19:
Titanium backup works fine as long as you don't have ART enabled. You can also try Helium though most prefer Titanium as do I.

---------- Post added at 10:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:02 AM ----------

Taking a guess since I didn't save a pic of my uptime I had my phone unplugged for about 14 hours and my data use was probably 90% on Wi-Fi.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Tkun:
Just buy Titanium Backup. It's the most reliable solution for backing up apps on Android, and has a ton of features. You really can't go wrong with TB. But Helium looks nicer and is great if you like backing up your stuff to cloud services.

Sent from my Galaxy Note II (SCH-I605)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dbrickg:
Likewise, cwm backup doesn't complete. It looked like it was going to, but then about 3/4 of the way through backing up data, it fails...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adamw1101:
Just bought it. Looks like a little bit a of a learning curve coming over from mybackup pro
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmike35:
++1 Agreed! Titanium has been the best app that I ever spent my money on. Bought it when I had my droid so I had it for years. The dev pushes updates left and right. He is very reliable to fix and push updates to his app then any other dev I have known. Tons of features as well

---------- Post added at 01:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:32 PM ----------

Most common problem for this is flashing the ROM with the wrong recovery. Make sure you use CWM Recovery and make sure its version 6.0.4.3 and not 6.0.3.4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
Edit found it!

Link to latest CWM.

Is it a gapps issue or is it a rom issue? Would using a different gapps builder work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tdrussell:
Yeah i dunno. :(at the very least it sounds like it's still an issue in the latest PA gapps and the latest nightly. Maybe i'll try the CM gapps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fordmanck:
I'm pretty sure the camera is in the ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tdrussell:
portions of it. Gallery2.apk is part of gapps. I don't know if some of these can be baked into the rom and will override gapps, though.

i have a hard time believing it's gapps, as the issue would be widespread. Friend with gnex on CM11 and 1/11 gapps does not have the issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fordmanck:
People still use the Gnex? ;)

See if he wants some batteries and backs. I have at least 6 laying around.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jiggabitties:
I think CM11 is probably the best battery life I've had since I've gotten this phone, even better than stock.

I have been having an issue with Bluetooth though, both calls and streaming audio. I link it with my truck, it syncs fine, I can make a call, but as soon as the call connects an error pops up on the screen "Sorry, com.bluetooth.whatever whatever has stopped". As long as I don't click on it I can remain on the call, for a couple minutes at least before it automatically restarts Bluetooth. Same with streaming audio, as soon as I try to play music the Bluetooth will just keep restarting until I turn music off.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BatterseaPS:
Sorry if this is a dumb question: is this ROM stable enough that I can leave it on my dad's phone for a couple of months without having to update it? Again, I know it might be silly asking that about nightlies, but maybe they're good enough. Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fordmanck:
Flawless for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tdrussell:
Counterpoint: I think as power users we gloss over a lot of small hiccups that could throw "normal" users for a loop. The camera focus issue for example, and the recent issue with the camera freezing after several frames. What if the phone reboots and he ends up in recovery? What if there's a warranty issue and he needs to take it into a store? It's probably "stable" enough, but make sure you account for anything "abnormal" he may run into that we just don't think anything of.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fordmanck:
I see your point. I'm on a business trip 1500 miles from home. I would never have kept this ROM on my phone if I didn't think it was a stable daily driver. Hell, I know there are people unhappy with the camera, but I think it's fine. I'm in Niagara Falls and took some pretty good pictures considering the weather.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nullmem:
This rom is currently way more stable than most roms labeled RC. However there are a few known issues you should be aware of:

1. Many people are experiencing strange battery drain issues on recent builds. I highly recomend you use Devil2-2.3.2-t0lte-DUAL-20140102 kernel.

2. Many people are experiencing camera lockups which require a reboot to fix (this is the case with any camera app)

3. There is a current camera focus problem where camera only focuses on center of picture.

4. There are currently some Bluetooth issues (beyond the normal faulty android Bluetooth implementation) which can cause random breaks in audio when connected to multiple Bluetooth devices. (I did see some Bluetooth fixes for 1/15, but it wont be out until tomorrow morning probably.)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fordmanck:
I can confirm the camera still locking up. I just use the reboot camera app and it's fine again. That one could be a deal breaker for some. I use my camera a lot and I'm OK with it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
Are you running a recent build? The camera locking up issue has been fixed. I can take a hundred pictures right now and it never locks up. It's been like this for a least the last week's worth of nightlies.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fordmanck:
Yes, the latest build. I should have elaborated, forgive me. Pictures are fine. It occasionally locks up when taking a video. The restart camera app helps me through it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
Camera is not locking up on recent builds. And focuses just fine on whatever I click on.

---------- Post added at 02:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:58 PM ----------

Oh I don't use video often I'll have to test that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fordmanck:
Yeah. Like mentioned above, I was in Niagara falls and my kids wanted a video of them. It locked up as soon as I hit the record button.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
I love the camera restart apk has been a life saver. I haven't had to use it on recent builds though.

I just blew up the video / camera. Back and forth several short clips. I can't break it guys. Only thing different on my setup is Devil Kernel(which rocks and if you aren't using it u need too!) and also I'm on latest build.

I never did hear back on my logs I posted on the camera issues. But progress has def been made. I also had camera / video lockups very common in 2013 builds. Newer 2014 builds have greater improved for me at least.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jimhois:
Flash a Kernel

I am currently using the CM11 nightlys as a daily driver. Memebers have suggested flashing the Devils kernel. That sounds interesting from a curiosity standpoint. I assume that I would flash it as I would a rom. If I dirty flash another CM nightly later, do I need to reflash the kernel. If I restore from a previous backup, does that revert me to the old kernel?

Thanks

Jim:cool:
