Headphones working. Only issue I have with all aosp roms for note 2 including this build is low volume across the board. When Devil kernel is updated this will help with the volume. Always wondered why the stock kernel are never tweakable for volume that would be so helpful.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrbobo1:
Just install viper4android and up the volume with that, should be across the board I think.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tdrussell:
No issues with the new build so far. Looking forward to nightlies! Glad to see some more CM features make it into this build. Thanks sbrissen!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fordmanck:
Yeah, low volume and no GPS for me but those have always been standard AOSP issues for me, this headphone thing is pissing me off.

I was using devil kernel with PA before this, loved that kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] king.james:
Anyone able to send a txt message with the new build? I can't now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrbobo1:
Texts go through for me on wifi or lte
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] king.james:
Odd, must be an outage in my area or something
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] E30Nova:
Strange request, but can someone post the original wallpaper from the 11/26 build?

I actually really liked it, and I just updated to the 12/9 build and was sad to see it wasn't the original wallpaper anymore. It's not even there anymore. :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rippedwarrior69:
Did the baseband get fixed or will it still break if you don't use cwm?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fordmanck:
Still have to use cwm.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DJ1994:
Do we need to switch back to dalvik before updating ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fordmanck:
I didn't. Flashed right over my ART.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] king.james:
I had to uninstall Google Voice to be able to send an sms message. How odd...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] LexusBrian400:
I doubt it's an outage.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tdrussell:
No issues with texts on wifi or lte here...

Folks with Sms issues using ART?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] metaphysicalgx2:
Any new features added with yesterdays update? Had to try out the stock 4.3 TW but miss 4.4 already.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pepz187:
I really wanna dive in n try out kit kat. But how would I install art?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chachi:
Nice that battery circle and battery circle percentage options added, percentage alone would be nice too as before, but not really complaining ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fordmanck:
It's in it already. All you do is enable it in developer options.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] metaphysicalgx2:
Once you have the rom installed and bring up developers options, you go into it and chage runtime from dalvic to art. It reboots, rebuilds the cache (long wait), and that's all to it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jpcdeux:
442 is already rolling out to nexus devices
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmike35:
Has anyone notice that All Mail (slid out tab under Gmail) isnn't showing me any mail, its all blank. I am on the newest build, with latest PA apps installed. My gmail works other then showing me my emails under All Mail even those it says 5 Unread (New Mail). I unistalled Gmail and reinstalled from market, same results. I have never encountered this problem before.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] NeoandGeo:
Any advantages to using ART?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmike35:
Suppose to run smoother and have a overall performance gain when using ART. Supposedly loads faster but also increases the size of the apk. I could kinda notice, but wasn't a big wow factor to me, after a few days of switching back and forth I forgot what I was even on. But using ART makes xposed not work, fyi
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
Getting high Google play services battery drain on latest build using art. Hmm..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrbobo1:
New issue, this may just be a pandora issue: when listening to pandora and a phone call comes in the music is Muted but only for a second, then it starts playing again during the call. Can I get someone else to try this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chuckrfish:
With the 12-9 build my menu soft key is unlocking my phone from the lock screen, anyone else notice this? I can't seem to find where to disable that either.

Otherwise, good to see the customizable lockscreen targets and battery indicators, as well as screen casting for Chromecast!

Still can't get over the fact that I've had less headaches with this ROM from the beginning than with any other custom 4.1+ ROM on any device.

Thank you so much Sbrissen!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmike35:
Just tried this, wasn't able to produce your error. Started Pandora, was listening for a min, called my phone, Pandora stopped when answered, let it sit there for 30sec and Pandora never came back on. Once I hung up, Pandora started to stream normal again.

Edit: Stock kernel, Dalvik, Xposed Modules
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] king.james:
Ok maybe I am just missing something.

---------- Post added at 10:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:48 AM ----------

Ok maybe I am just missing something. I am getting a voice+ pop now that asks to pick disabled or my Gmail account but does not have an option to move forward. If I select disabled and back out I can send a txt. If I select Gmail and back out my txt fail. Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dbrickg:
My phone has been unlocking itself with just a touch. Not just this build, but the last one, too. I'll just pull it out of my pocket and it's unlocked, sitting at the home screen. Rather disconcerting.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chuckrfish:
Thanks for the input! I had't noticed this with the previous build, but I use this phone as a tablet more often than a phone due to some seemingly hardware related WiFi/BT issues, so it's not really been in my pocket since the second build. But I did catch this issue just carrying it around last evening.

At first I thought it was some sort of Sweep2Wake feature, but then I found that it's only a tap the menu button that unlocks it for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrbobo1:
thank you for checking, the other mod I have is viper4android, I wonder if that app is making this happen, it didn't in the past though. Can I get one more confirmation?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tgyberg:
I checked Gmail and also tried to wake my phone up (other than the power button or home button) and everything functions as normal for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmike35:
All Mail tab works under gmail? My just appears empty
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chachi:
Gmail fine here, albeit with caveat it was not allowing me to login yesterday evening to any Gmail or Gmail hosted account, but that's cleared up and all seems OK now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cschanck:
After using ART for most of yesterday and liking it (except for a few gapps FC's), I experienced the slow charging phenomenon last night. 7 hours only moved it about 60%. Battery Monitor Pro showed only +90ma instead of the normal +700 for the cable next to my bed.

Switched back to dalvik, shows +700 again. Weird.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tgyberg:
Yep, All Mail is good to go
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmike35:
Yea, just reflashed from scratch, all working again. That was weird!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zlatty:
Apparently flashing the rom again seemed to fix this. SuperSU was causing the issue. Would not recommend overriding the Setting/CM supeeruser intergration!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dbrickg:
Service just seems to be weird sometimes. I restored to the previous build last night, and didn't notice till this morning that I had zero service, and gps was hosed, all night. Reflashed to the current build this morning, and all's good... well, except that Mixzing, some music player I've been using for some reason I've forgotten, doesn't work any more (click on the icon, and it acts like it's starting, then reverts to the home screen).

Also, regarding various battery bits... slow charging, fast discharging... I've gotten those symptoms off-and-on with this rom ever since the beginning, but it generally seems to go away without me doing anything special... sometimes a reboot seems to help... don't know what's going on with that, but just saying that I've noticed it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fordmanck:
I'm actually able to get GPS to work for the first time in awhile on AOSP. I had to flash after locking on with a TW ROM. It isn't working with ART enabled though. Anyone else seen this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tdrussell:
seems to be working on ART for me, using the turn-off-wifi-and-stand-by-the-window test. My compass is off 90*, but i don't think that's related to ART.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
Google play services high battery usage and some gapps fc's are due to an issue with browser always syncing under your google account. Go into your google account and turn this off and bam it's fixed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jpcdeux:
Signal is funky on reboot. No signal when I had it before. Granted, I'm using it on ATT but I just had service
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fordmanck:
I've seen this a few times but it was always after restoring to 4.4 from 4.3. My signal will never come back unless I fresh flash. Even if I flash, boot and have signal on a 4.4 and then go back and restore the 4.4 nandroid that was working fine, it won't come back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tgyberg:
My phone runs better / is quicker without the Plasma kernel and slight oc. Guess I wouldn't have known if Plasma didnt work with the update!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Joebroni:
I'm going to post this personal update in the hopes it might help someone else.

I was one of the 'lucky' ones who could never get data/network after flashing 4.4. I tried the flash fix, I've tried all recoveries (CWM, Philz, even TWRP for ****s and giggles), I tried the restorecon commands manually in Terminal, dirty flashes over working 4.3 Roms, whatever was mentioned out there. All 3 KK roms were tried, and everytime an update was released, I would try it all over again. I tried restoring EFS backups and still nothing. But I was finally able to get this latest release to work!

There are 3 things that changed that could have been related and maybe 1 works for someone else:

1. This new rom with 4.4.1 might have had a change. The changelog doesn't look like it did, but maybe there was something not documented.

2. I did NOT flash Gapps after I burned the ROM. I wiped data/cache 3 times (with CWM), burned the rom and rebooted. After it was confirmed signal was good, then I went back and burned Gapps over.

3. I downgraded my modem from VRAC3 to VRALL4. This is my personal opinion of what fixed the problem. Seeing as how the baseband/IMEI/modem was all dead, this would be the logical solution. I noticed on Slim that his 4.4 screenshot was running VRAL4, so that's what gave me the idea. I burned VRALL4 when I was still using 4.1.2, booted back up to verify it was reading correctly, then went back and burned 4.4.

So for anyone still having problems with no service, unknown Baseband/IMEI/PRL/MEID/etc, try to see if any of those help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrbobo1:
Does anyone else have the screen get stuck off when on a call and the screen is black? I have to hit the power and home buttons a couple times to get back into the screen
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
Nope. Calling working normally here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sonofevil77:
I'm not on the latest build but yes it happens on the 11-26 build for me. Not as bad as previous though.

Sent from my VZW GALAXY note 2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] E30Nova:
Noob question, but how do you take screenshots with this rom? The last rom I was on had the option in the power menu, and I thought I saw a way to edit that in this rom but I guess I was wrong..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fordmanck:
It hasn't been included yet. I'm just using xposed framework to do it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jpcdeux:
Yes it has. Hold power. In the button settings I believe is option to add screen shot to power menu
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tgyberg:
Power button and volume down works for me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fordmanck:
Ah, I hadn't found that yet, thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TardyKilla:
Confirmed, same here. 39% as compared to 24% for screen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] E30Nova:
Awesome, thanks guys. I forgot where I saw that option. Didn't think to look in the buttons section.

Now, is there a way to disable the stock messaging app? I use hangouts for SMS/MMS but I still have the little message icon in the status bar. I can swipe it away but it comes back a few seconds later...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jpcdeux:
Just go into stock messaging and uncheck notifications
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fordmanck:
I had a problem where even though I selected hangouts the one message I received before hitting yes, wouldn't go away. I clicked reply and then just canceled out if it and it went away.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmike35:
Has anyone flashed the new modem package and running this? I would like to say it shouldn't affect anything since its just firmware and modem but then again who knows! Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fordmanck:
I'm running VRAMC3. I can't remember if that's the latest.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmike35:
MJ9 I believe which was the OTA released the other day is the latest. Its the one floating around in the other thread. The have a new build up to from someone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fordmanck:
I'll look for it and give it a whirl and report back.

*edit - Can you post a link?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wbvczar:
Here is a thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2561450

Here is the link to the modem: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23252070760974329
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] worjosh19:
I will try the new one, I ended up going back toVRALL4 from VRAMC3. I have had much better sevice with that one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrbobo1:
I am running it with the carbon kit kat build (which is based on this nightly), no ill effects :)

Just flash the zip that was posted here by RomsWell : http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23252070760974850

no need to do the odin, the link is to a zip you can flash in recovery to update just the radio, worked like a charm for me, I flashed that then the carbon build that slick_rick posted at the end of that thread, no reason why it shouldn't work fine with cm11 too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fordmanck:
Thank you. I was just searching for a flashable zip.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmike35:
Sorry for off topic, where are you finding those builds from carbon, I am searching their website but not seeing any. All I see are the 4.3.1 builds
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fordmanck:
So far, so good.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrbobo1:
towards the end of the carbon thread, slick posted an unofficial build yesterday :) I don't see a lot of benefit from the carbon KK ROM to be quite honest although there is slightly more configuration in the settings options (ever so slightly).

sorry sbrisson for the off topic

On topic perhaps, slick had mentioned he uses gapps by dhacker29 vs the PA gapps that I have been using, I flashed dhacker29's gapps for the first time when I flashed carbon rom and noticed that on the first boot my apps were restored... I haven't been able to have them restore automatically in Kit Kat for a while so I wonder if it's because of the PA gapps. For anyone intereseted in dhacker's gapps, they are here and may fix the apps not restoring on first boot: http://d-h.st/users/dhacker29/?fld_id=27426#files
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmike35:
NIce, did you use the zip file or odin?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fordmanck:
The zip. Odin is way to much work. ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmike35:
Thanks! Yea I have notice that to, apps not restoring, hopefully that will get worked out. Are the dhackers gapps, just plain or are they themed? Guess only difference he has the restore implemented somewhere behind scenes?

---------- Post added at 08:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:25 AM ----------

Haha ok, I will prob do same. Any notice in better signal, granted its only been a few mins lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fordmanck:
No, but later I'll be going to a place that I always have horrible service at, I'll report back after that. So far, and I've had just about every phone, my S4 was the only one to get service there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrbobo1:
sbrisson: I am confirming the bug with pandora and calls coming in from a clean flash with gapps and pandora here are the steps I took to reproduce the issue:

reboot (if you have used pandora not on bluetooth and received a call first, this won't happen)

connect to bluetooth

start pandora, wait for music to start over bluetooth

call cell from another phone

music pauses while ringing (it shouldn't, it should continue until answering the call, right?)

answer the call

music resumes after a couple seconds during the call

I can hear the music but the caller can't

hang up

music gets louder but pause button in pandora doesn't work for a while

This might be a pandora issue with the build, just wanted to lay it out in case you had an idea. I tried youtube and google play music and both of those just pause during a call.

Also, if you play pandora and get a call without using bluetooth first, then connect bluetooth the issue doesn't happen, you have to reboot, then connect to bluetooth without listening to pandora and getting a call

one other bluetooth/pandora issue, if you are listening to music over bluetooth and power down the phone, the music switches to speaker briefly as the phone is shutting down, it should not do that, it should just turn off or pause if bluetooth shuts off before the phone is all the way shut down.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
Doesn't do it to me so it's not a bug with the rom. What version of Pandora are you using?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmike35:
I tried to mock that issue but It didn't work, pandora/call did what is was supposed to. Are you using headphones or no, I tried it with headphones (Ill try no headphones real quick and report back) Using stock kernel and dalvik runtime. Latest Pandora. No extra mod's besides gravity box.

Update: Headphones/No Headphones.Ran pandora, played for a few, called myself from offic phone, pandora silence, phone rang, answered, talked to myself for a min, pandora stopped and never came back on until I hung up, everything is running normal
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrbobo1:
5.0, just what's on the play store right now. I am going to do one more clean flash, have you tried that with bluetooth?

Thanks for checking, it's super annoying.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dbrickg:
Wow! Thanks so much! I've turned browser sync off under the google account. Keeping my fingers crossed. It'd be fabulous if that's all it takes to fix those nasty glitches
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
I bet lol. I tested headphones and speaker. I only have a plantronics blue tooth made for talking I can test that but wouldn't be a true test as actual blue tooth headphones. Does it do it when you don't use blue tooth?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] worjosh19:
I went one more step, I deleted the stock browser. I use google chrome and battery life has been super for me.

---------- Post added at 10:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 AM ----------

I ended up using odin and it flashed quick and painless.

[Opened Odin]

[Attached device]

[Put .tar in PDA]

[Clicked Start]

So far so good
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fordmanck:
I did the same. Maybe it's placebo, but my battery life has been amazing so far on KitKat with the stock kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmike35:
When y'all are saying deleted, you added the .bak to the end of the app? That's how I am doing it now, for some reason, uninstalling them thro root browser/titanium backup, on a reboot they all install again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tgyberg:
I'm going to have to zap the browser as well, Google Service is always at the top of the battery stats.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fordmanck:
I use root explorer and just go to system/app and delete the apk or change the extension name to .old.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tgyberg:
What is the path to the app for the .bak ? Thanks!

NM, found it! ^
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
You can also freeze it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmike35:
What do you mean exactly? I go to / (device) the under /system then /apps (so overall /systems/apps) then the apk's are in there, just rename to (for example) Browser.apk is now Browser.apk.bak (same location, uninstalled it and leaves it there) or you can use .old When uninstalling them normally or deleting they come back installed after a reboot, I don't know why.

---------- Post added at 09:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 AM ----------

Yea that's what I normally do as well but I know it is still there and bugs me for some reason lol I like to not see it as I scroll through

I deleted mine, I've rebooted plenty. It's gone still.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rudeguy:
Hey guys.

I'm getting an error when installing this ROM. I get some kind of binary write error and then it fails. I've tried a few different versions and all end up the same.

HALP?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] draco259:
What recovery?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rudeguy:
TWIRP

Dunno what version
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fordmanck:
There's your problem. Use CWM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrbobo1:
I udpated my post, it only happens while on bluetooth http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48374143&postcount=737

Also, interestingly if you try it while on speaker first then connect bluetooth it works as expected...

Official Nightly Up!!!

I like to check the nightly section from time to time. Just checked it and guess what's up there... The i605 has an official nightly build. Thanks sbrissen for all your hard work to get our device on the list! http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=i605
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] luminous22:
Or most recent version of TWRP. Version 2.5.0.0 was giving me the same error, upgrading to the latest allowed me to install.

Double thanks to sbrissen!

Also, thanks for noticing jmart

I think that gets other things moving for other roms, right? wooo!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fordmanck:
I wasn't aware they finally updated. Thanks for the info.

Me either. If this is true I'm gonna ditch cwm.I love twrp.

---------- Post added at 11:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:37 AM ----------

Edit I just checked it hasn't been updated for kit kat. This is incorrect information from what I can tell.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fordmanck:
I could flash it, just never got signal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rippedwarrior69:
I was using official cm10.2 and mobile data was working great. I checked for new nightly and there was official cm11. So I downloaded it upgraded and no mobile data. I am using cwm 6.0.4.3. The only thing I see that could be wrong is the apn is greyed out and will not let me select. I have it set to cdma/lte under preferred network type and under system select it is on automatic. Any ideas. Mobile data works great on every rom but cm11. I even tried the new one beans posted on data worked great. I really wont to use cm11 4.4.1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fordmanck:
Are you dirty flashing?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rudeguy:
