Wondering if anyone can give me a hand with an SD Card issue.

Coming from Transnebula 2.0b I did the usual back up and full wipe scenario. Had all the goodies downloaded (newest CWM as per this thread, 11/26 build of 4.4, 11/26 gapps) and flashed in that order.

No errors with root or anything (both root checkers showed root, and I did the SuperSU reflash anyway), but my micro card isn't recognized by the system (tried both before enabling ART and after). Settings->Storage shows the correct internal storage, but shows 0.00B total space available with the card mounted. Unmounting and remounting doesn't change anything, nor is the format option available.

Using root explorer I can access the card, but it is shown as empty, and I do not have the ability to write information to the card.

The card worked properly on Transnebula (TW 4.1.2 base), as I formatted it in the phone which gave the proper fat32 format and all 64gbs accessible. It should also be mentioned that after I tried 4.4 last night and saw the card was broken, I switched back to transneb and the sd required a reformat, but worked correctly after the reformat.

Any ideas? Normally I can figure out these types of issues by myself, but I thought I'd consult the masses with this one as I'm currently stumped.

Edit: back to the old for me. I've restored TW for now, but I'll approach this again in a few weeks/builds. I did take a half hour or so just to play around and with ART enabled I did see a noticeable performance increase (could be a number of variables, but I attribute some portion of it to ART vs. Dalvik) so I'll be back.

Can't thank the CM team, or Sbrissen (our device maintainer) enough. This is really good stuff. Great work by all those involved!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dtroup64:
This should answer some of your questions:

What is ART

To use it, go to Developer Settings and switch from Dalvik to ART
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mising:
Actually, I just noticed that my FitBit is syncing with the app! I just can't do it manually, it seems to do it on its own every couple hours.

So I have found a keeper now since multi window was more of just a novelty for me.

Thanks sbrissen!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallingup:
Unless I'm mistaken, when you format with a TW rom, it doesnt format as fat32, but rather with exfat. that is probably your problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sonofevil77:
I had this happen multiple times. Make sure your card is formatted as fat32. Now with the problem you have you have to transfer everything to a folder on your computer, format the card to fat32 and then transfer everything back. I lost 2 cards with this problem and since formatting to fat 32 I haven't had an issue. It's a must if you are going to go back and forth. And also it seems SanDisk cards are most susceptible to this issue.

Is there any s-pen functionality? I'm obviously not looking for touchwiz features, but it would be nice to have to ability to use the pen for Web browsing and note taking, etc.

Thanks :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dtroup64:
Sure is. Your spen will work on most of the note taking apps. I use Evernote, and I combine it with 7 Notes with Mazek as a handwriting recognition software and it's smoooooooth.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zues532:
Thankfully I had backed up everything on the card before flashing or wiping anything, and I remember seeing that my computer listed the card formatted as fat32. That being said, when I first saw that the card failed I did not remove it and attempt a reformat on my computer. Perhaps that would fix my problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WisdomWolf:
I was having the exact same issue. I had to completely wipe system/data/cache before restoring my CM10.2 nandroid to get it to see my card. I guess I'll be waiting just a bit longer for exFAT support.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] metaphysicalgx2:
Does the sd card issue only concern the 64gb cards or will i have to do something special with the 32gb that i just bought?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rclar144:
Got it figured out thx
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] my_handle:
I was having the same problem. Had to change sim cards and now it's all good. My steps were back to stock, go to vzw have them switch sim, let phone activate then reroot and reinstall
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] djd338:
FYI: If you're looking for other Spen functions I've ran across a couple apps that are fun to play with. Try "Note Buddy", it's made to restore certain functions of Spen with ASOP roms. It'll allow a quick bar & auto launch of other apps as well as remove/insert sound effects. In order to get it to work I had to install the app "CM S-Pen add-on" for some reason. At times it's kinda neat having the sound of light saber or swords when the stylus is used.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WisdomWolf:
It has nothing to do with the size of the card, but the formatting of the card that matters. For the time being any card formatted as exFAT will not play well with CM11 regardless of which kernel is used. If you want to be sure the card will work then you'll have to make sure it's formatted as fat33.

sprint no data

I flashed with the latest cwm 6.0.4.3

No data

Flashed the radio fix through cwm

No data

I really like this ROM but with out data can't use....

Please tell me how to fix.

It seems to want a Sim card. But Sprint does not use...

Please help me.... Maybe I just missed something

Thank you and keep up the good work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chizler:
this is for the verizon note 2, i would guess that would be the problem seeing that you are on sprint.

Boy do I feel like idiot. I thought it was the sprint one. Let me go try there now....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidx2.3.3:
Im giving this a try. Last time I ran asop was a few months ago and it was pretty solid. This seems like its getting there so I will finally try out 4.4. Ive been running 4.1.2 tw
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidx2.3.3:
Well I got it installed. I somehow missed the part of needing cwm instead of twrp. Once I got the zip to fail on twrp I got cwm flashed and it installed no problem. The only issue I'm having is I can't get GPS to lock. Its not a huge issue since I almost never use GPS but it'd be nice to have. Other than that it seems rock solid so far.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jcbauerca:
I had the same problem so went to settings and did a factory reset and that clear it up. For some reason when I tried to install the CM 10.2 nighlys it killed my voice service, data and internet works but could not make a phone call.

Had to go back to a TW rom and reset to factory setting. Didn't work when resetting in the CM rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] aussiebill:
Firstly, thanks for this awesome ROM. :) I've been using since the initial release and have been loving it.

I went on a roadtrip yesterday and I have some observations/potential bugs to report.

1) I saw the issue reported earlier where no audio would be sent through the headphone jack at times. Had to unplug, get sound going again and plug back in.

2) NFC did not fire up when enabled in Settings and phone placed over NFC sticker

3) Maps was just weird. I had GPS and WiFi on, and when in Navigation, the compass/direction arrow always pointed straight up, regardless of the road direction. I was often positioned way off the highway, I could almost guess it was just using wifi or Verizon for positioning.

4) As others have reported, when using a Verizon netwrok extender at home, the phone thinks it is roaming or "Out of Neighorhood"

THANKS SBRISSEN!!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] carhauler1969:
I sat down & read this entire thread last night, before deciding to take the plunge & flash this piece of art, no pun. All I can say is WOW!!! This thing flies even on Dalvik & the stock kernel. I've been on Clean ROM ACE 4.9 since it was released, & saw no reason to change until I read Zedomax's review of this ROM. Great job SBrissen!!! :cowboy::cowboy::cowboy:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] firewater88:
Unfortunately, still can't get data back. Tried every flash order in both twrp and cwm. Tried restoring a efs backup in twrp, nothing. (couldn't find how to restore that in cwm) Tried the zip, nothing. Tried the terminal command, nothing.

Bummed that I ever went back and did that backup restore of a 4.4, it was a great rom for those few days, but can not get a radio back.

It's back to 4.1 for me...

Did you ever figure out the kill all recents issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dvanzutphenkann:
Nah I've been tooling around on touch wiz for the first time in months
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Tkun:
If you use the newest Xposed (you have to use Dalvik Runtime, unfortunately), install Gravity Box, and activate the navigation bar, you'll find a kill all button in the top right within your recent apps. It's a lot of steps, but if you want a kill all button, that's one way to get it.

And I'm not entirely sure if activating the nav bar is necessary, but I only began noticing the kill all button after doing so.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mac of York:
Anyone able to get data without roaming? I don't usually roam but I'm only roaming... :/ I flashed the fix found earlier and thoroughly searched.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

EDIT: After the fix, switching to global seems to have gotten me 4G again, but it still consistently says no service or searching for service. I have data though. Still not consistent...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WisdomWolf:
I can confirm that installing Xposed + Gravity Box works to bring the kill all button back. The nav bar is unnecessary though because I know I had a kill all button and the only thing I changed in Gravity Box was the battery icon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dhouston10:
Another thing one can do is download ActiveApps from play store; it's pretty much like TW's task manager, just not as polished. Has an End All button and whatnot. I've used it years on several devices when running AOSP instead of TW.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidx2.3.3:
Something I can't figure out is how I can make the quick change tiles come up when I pull the status bar down. Like that did in cm10. I found how to make the toggles appear and then how to make the tiles appear when I select either the right or left side but I want them to come up regardless of where I pull down. Cm10 displayed them all the time unless I had a notification.

gsiff_daemon

Have been running the 11/26 build for a few days, has been very solid. Today the battery started draining fast and the phone got warm. Found gsiff_daemon to be the culprit. Not sure how long the phone had been running since the last shutdown/reboot. Rebooted and now it seems normal, plan to rename the file per google.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dvanzutphenkann:
In gravity box it has a option for recent ram bar and kill all button in recents and you can place it on top right or left or bottom right or left. Its found in the miscellaneous tweaks I believe

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Finalchrono:
Does anyone know what versions of TWRP that this will flash with? It will not flash with 2.5. Also, what would be the best recovery to use, or is it merely subjective?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dvanzutphenkann:
Twrp doesn't work with 4.4 yet you must use cwm 6.0.4.3 to get everything working

Here's a drop box DL of cwm touch version 6.0.4.3

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidx2.3.3:
As per the op you need cwm recovery. I made the same mistake. I much prefer twrp but but since this ROM needed cwm I had to switch. And that reminded me why I stopped using cwm. Hopefully twrp will update soon to support 4.4. I think they will as more devices are getting 4.4 roms.

I wasn't a fan of CWM but then I tried the touch version and now its not so bad.

How do you guys update the bynary without loosing root? Everytime I try to it fails then I end up losing root and have to go through reinstalling everything to get it back. That is the only way I could make work. All the zips etc I have found that update it don't seem to work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ztotherad:
i flash the SuperSU.zip from i believe omni.. its version 0.80.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] erikclaw:
I am not sure what I just flashed but it actually worked this time. It updated through recovery, first time it worked out of many tries.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrbobo1:
Did you do a clean install (wipe system, data and internal sd?)

Did you enable root access through developer options?

Root should work fine from a clean install, no special instructions, just enable root access (go to settings/about phone and click on build number 7 times to enable developer options in the system menu, then go to developer options and turn them on, make sure Root access is turned on to apps).

This has been mentioned many times in this thread and any other kit kat rom for that matter for this phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] erikclaw:
Yes I have done all of that. I am always told the binary is out of date, binary 14 or something like that. Up to date is 18 I believe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrbobo1:
try going to settings in supersu and cleanup for reinstall from google play, reboot when it's done and go to google play and reinstall supersu, I would recommend doing the install through recovery option, also make sure your recovery is the latest cwm downloaded from xda not twrp.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chachi:
I just always flash su-update zip last after the new nightly, never had a problem
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] erikclaw:
How do you mean cleanup? All I see to clean is the logs. Whenever I try installing this app from the play store is when all the issues start.. Clearing cache in settings-app-all?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nbock01:
Anyone have issues being able to boot back into recovery?

Flashed latest and greatest and unable to Power + Vol Down to get into recovery, will go into a "safe Mode" CM

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrbobo1:
if you enable the developer options menu you can add reboot to recovery in the power menu, see my post a couple up for how to enable that menu in settings.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Njenson:
Don't forget the home button as well
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrbobo1:
just download the zip from xda and flash it: http://download.chainfire.eu/370/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.80.zip?retrieve_file=1

that's the easiest way and should sort you out.

Is there a particular reason we still can't use TWRP to flash this? Is it the recovery or is it the ROM? Who needs to update what?

I really would love to test 4.4 out but refuse to use CWM. I've bought the license to the touch version in the past, did't know it was tied to that device. Not supporting that front anymore.

Going on 72 hours since I flashed the 11/26 build, no issues at all other than those stated in the OP. Tried Devil kernel, battery life suffered tremendously compared to CleanROM ACE & Perseus.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] defrostmode:
I love the rom so far and have been lucky to not have a lot of the problems I've read about in this thread. I am pretty sure I've read everything and I'm sure some, if not all, my issues have been addressed. That said I would really appreciate some help.

- ever since the most recent release I cannot send mms. I receive them fine. I tried using the info for mms from the Gosmart website and deleting everything else (how I got mms working in the first release) but now I can't delete the other entries and it doesn't receive the mms any better than the default settings that are already there. No matter how I do it, when I try to send one it just says 'sending' for over an hour then fails. Plus. Now I can't delete the other entries.

- my SD card is found fine and can be used fine, but I can no longer set ringtones that are on the SD card. No matter how I set it (preferred method would be Ringo Pro) it says 'SD card not available' even though it will play the sound and everything. It just won't play as a ringtone.

- the default app setting don't seem to be remembered.

I know I'm forgetting something, but those are the most obvious of the top of my head.

Again. I'll love you all forever if I can get some help with those issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tdrussell:
Impressed with the stability of an early, unofficial build. It's obviously pretty stripped down compared to CM10.2. It will be interesting to see if the GN2 gets official CM11 support and what functionality we are able to bring back into CM11.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tgyberg:
Yea my auto rotation has a mind of it's own!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Cyclin:
Ringtone issue should be easy. Find the audio file in Apollo (the stock music player), tap& hold the sound file, then tap "Use As Ringtone"

Default app setting should be working fine if you keep setting them to not ask again once you make your selection. If it truly is not remembering defaults you will need to reflash your ROM
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
Yeah this isn't my first rodeo with manually flashing CWM Touch because I bought it for my Droid X 3 years ago, then I picked up a Thunderbolt and that's when I found out it's device specific, the purchase.

I just refuse to use the software at this point to be honest. I hope Team Win can figure out what's going on with the 4.4 files. I have been made a new man ever since I discovered their recovery and can't switch. So no 4.4 for me.

On topic, the bug list in OP only mentions Bluetooth voice search. Does that mean everything else is squashed, such as GPS just working and not requiring that stupid old hack of flashing a Touchwiz ROM, etc, and also the weird graphics corruptions that were being seen? All fixed?

It doesn't matter how I choose the audio file. Through Apollo or through any of the options given under sound settings... It only works as a ringtone if it is on internal memory. If it's on the SD card my phone just gets the call with no noise.

My phone is legitimately not remembering what defaults I pick. No idea why and it does remember some of them. No idea why. I'll have to wait until I have access to a better Internet connection and a computer to reflash... That could be a while.
