BAAAAAHHH! BAAAAHHHHH!

The funniest thing happened. I was standing out side getting ready to go to work, I see birds, and life going by as I prepare. I live on a boat mind you, so I have a Blue Heron, that fishes from the back of my boat and a couple ducks swimming around, pretty cool scene. When out of nowhere I hear this loud throaty cry, I tried to place it I even looked at the Heron, (those guys have a deep squawk you have to hear to believe). I hear it again and still can't place it. WTF I say. My wife says, I coming from you! I look around and and my phone is ringing in my pocket, and my ringtone had been replaced with a sheep's call. It appears the April 1 nightly has a little April fools action. Or my phone has been hacked. The even funnier part was the phone call, an employee calling out sick. (baseball fan on opening day)

Very good! sbrissen! you got me!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] CallerHoller:
Is it supposed to be cute, or are they calling us Sheeple? :cyclops:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] CallerHoller:
Super stable sheepish or not. :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pjim:
I agree 100%. I think this ROM is much more stable that the 4.3 touchwiz ROMs

by a long shot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Flipapotimus:
Every single ring tone is the sheep....:rolleyes:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] CallerHoller:
lol, damnit. My low battery alert just baa'd at me

Only in preview. Once you set the tone it works as normal .;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Flipapotimus:
I just tried it and mine was still sheep
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] CallerHoller:
I don't know what to say. Mine work fine after setting. Did you reboot after flashing?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pjim:
I finally flashed back the 3/31. I didn't care when I was by myself. But I got calls while I was talking to people today and BAAAHHH! BAAAHHH!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Flipapotimus:
I just rebooted and it's still sheep

I'm sorry, I was wrong . Only my notifications change. I can't get ringtones to change either
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] CallerHoller:
Is 4/2 another April fools? It was uploaded on 4/1. I flashed it and there's no Google account at setup. Not in settings/accounts either.

Rolled back to 3/31. :eek:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pjim:
I dirty flashed over 04/01. All back to normal. Just use the CM updater in settings. You can set it for whatever time you want it to check, very convenient. You really don't need to data wipe each time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JoeyDVDZ:
Hmmm. Flashed the latest nightly, flashed the gapps package that seemed to go with it... constant FC's on the google keyboard. Yay troubleshooting! :)

I'm gonna PM the dev again for status.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dbrickg:
I just installed 4/3 and phone wouldn't start. Went through the whole gapps building apps process, then would say "unfortunately android (something basic, can't remember)" I'd click OK, and the same error popped up... over and over again. pulled battery, pulled sdcard, loaded 3/31 to card, replaced card, rebooted to recovery, installed 3/31, same error... pulled and installed 3/29, and that one worked. I'm running ART. Anybody else who's running ART have this problem?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] CallerHoller:
Sorry not on ART.

4/3 running great for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sully112277:
I had the same problem. Pulled the battery and then booted into recovery and wiped cache. Fine after that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dbrickg:
Hmm, and are you running ART? I always clear the cache and dalvik cache whenever I install new roms, and I tried multiple roms and two different gapps packages, so I doubt that clearing the cache would have fixed what I was experiencing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sully112277:
No on art. Force close said something about media.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dbrickg:
Well, thanks. I think I'm gonna give up on ART. Seems like a good idea, but it's got too many problems, and not enough people are supporting it to make it worthwhile.

Anyway, I'm downloading the 4/4 rom... and switching to dalvik. We'll see how that goes

PS: 4/4 is working fine with dalvik. I suspect ART was the culprit all along.

But I did have some problem with Google Calendar Storage error messages. I went into Settings / Apps / All / Calendar Storage and cleared cache and data, went into CWM ROM Manager and ran the fix permissions script and rebooted. That seems to have fixed it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DPCardoza:
Anybody have any tricks for how to get the Gps to lock on?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] PhilDX:
make a backup, flash any TW ROM and open maps until you get a good lock, reboot to recovery and restore your backup
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DPCardoza:
Can it be a dirty flash or do I have to do a factory reset and wipe. Reason I ask is I was coming from a tw rom (mean bean) but of course I did a full wipe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] PhilDX:
ok, i see the confusion, holler if this isn't more clear...

starting with your current CM11 setup with non-functioning GPS, follow these steps:

make a backup of your current CM11 installation in recovery (latest CWM or TWRP)

flash any TW ROM and factory reset / wipe cache

OR

restore existing backup of any TW ROM (factory reset / wipe cache is optional)

boot TW ROM, open maps and get a good GPS lock

reboot to recovery and restore CM11 backup (do not factory reset)

boot CM11 and check GPS lock in maps, should be good to go
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DPCardoza:
Took a couple of times but got it locked on. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
The OP did respond to me unfortunately non of his things to try worked. Someone has got to be able to add something to the sms framework to make Verizon think we're using TW when we're not....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Lodingi:
Wow. That's a bummer. :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
Yes I know :(.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nullmem:
I'm having no SMS problems in TX running 3/29. Is this a problem with newer build? or a localized problem in some areas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] amoot329:
Just curious, is it possible that you can copy the apns-conf.xml from a TW ROM and paste it into a AOSP ROM? Wonder if the settings has any effect on it.

The apns-conf.xml is in the folder system/etc
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Lodingi:
It's localized to certain area codes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
I have tried that just for giggles. Didn't work :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sputnik4life:
Using 3-30 in illinois and no issues with sms or mms
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] amoot329:
Hmm well I'm really at a lost as to what would really caused it. Would be strange if its really Verizon's end that's causing it. Would SMS still be broke if you happen to go outta the area? If I travel to central VA, I would lose txt capabilities?!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] apophis9283:
People were reporting the sms issue and I didnt have it. One day woke up went to an appointment and tried to text and it was a no go.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chachi:
OK here in N California with Verizon text wise
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] *.jpg:
This was my similar to my experience. It worked perfectly for a day or so and then will only send one text. If I reboot, I can send another then rinse and repeat.

Swyped from my Note 2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] amoot329:
So is it completely all aosp ROMs? I know I've been told that SlimKat was built up on its own sources. Would that make a difference? What about if you limit yourself to 3g only, are you able to txt more than once without reboot?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] apophis9283:
Im betting Verizon updated some towers - LTE and new APNs are required
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] *.jpg:
It's happened to me on CM (10&11), slimkat, PA, PACman. No matter what network setting I use.

Swyped from my Note 2

It would be nice if it turned out to be that simple. Now to find which one works. . .

Swyped from my Note 2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] amoot329:
If that was the case, then why does a tw ROM work? What could possibly be different in their apns.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] apophis9283:
It was explained to me that they provision themselves. So I guess APNs can be added running stock. My knowledge of this is very little but I have been talking to others about it getting schooled in the whole deal
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] amoot329:
Well from what I gathered, the apns are provisioned during the first boot up of a ROM. Where are they stored if not the apn-cons file?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] apophis9283:
They are stored there. AOSP is just missing some new ones
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] amoot329:
Then why can't you edit that file and add any missing ones?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] apophis9283:
Cause I dont know which ones are missing. I know that people are working on it. It will get fixed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] amoot329:
Well if that's case, is it possible to compare from a working file via tw ROM with a non working aosp one?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] *.jpg:
Somebody posted a modified file a while ago that had every known apn included and it didn't work. Perhaps there are some new ones out there.

Swyped from my Note 2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] apophis9283:
I would imagine so. Im leaving this to the pros. They seem to have it covered.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
My educated guess Is it's not apn related. Apn Is for mms only from what I understand.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] amoot329:
True, I was thinking that if it was apns, you would either have the SMS all working or none at all. What we really need is someone who works at Verizon and has this phone. I'm just worried if it becomes widespread soon.

Titanium isn't restoring for me. It's giving me the "restoring 1/53" pop up, but isn't doing anything.

I've got all the ADB boxes clicked and root allowed to ADB and Apps.

Updated SU. No dice.

What am I missing?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] amoot329:
Depending on what you're restoring, some apps takes a couple of minutes. Also for example if you're already using Nova launcher and you try to restore Nova launcher, it will get stuck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DrunkUncas:
Update to SuperSU if Titanium Backup doesn't work

Had to install and update https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu to get Titanium to function properly.

I did the update through recovery. It took a couple of tries to reboot.

No one else had this problem? It's pretty prevalent on some other devices.

Please update!, Please update! :0 KRT16S fixes several bugs related to APN settings as well as a more serious bug that Google engineer Dan Morrill called a “stop-ship bug”. According to developer Al Sutton, the critical bug relates to encryption and “could have left encrypted devices undecryptable if the user entered the wrong password after an update”.

Main frustrations that might cause me to roll back to my old rooted ROM.

1) dial pad not working when checking voice mail.

2) The home key not working properly (can live without)

3) S-pen in touchwiz not working (can live without)

Well hell I guess my only issues is voice mail. Are there any known fix for it yet?

BTW anyone test this version on a Galaxy Gear yet?

Thanks all for being a great community.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mazz0310:
This is cyanogenmod. There will be/is no support for the touchwiz S-Pen (the pen works but not touchwiz functions) and Galaxy Gear will not work unless Samsung starts making it available for all phones.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
Dial pad works fine here. In fact, I prefer this dial pad to the Touchwiz one.

What about your home key is not working? Mine works fine. Long hold for recents, double tap does nothing (but that could be changed if I wanted to). Like mazz0310 said, S-pen & Galaxy Gear will never work on this rom because those features are built into Touchwiz, and CM is not based on TW.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] admiral70:
When you check your voicemail and want to delete you hit the key and works just fine? Odd that means just mine, sh!t. Back to reflashing. Like I said S-pen is not a game stopper just used some things not many.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nkhex19:
Just checked my voicemail and dialer pad works perfect. Did you clean flash?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] admiral70:
****UPDATE***

I played with the setting in the dialer and turned on Dial pad touch tones and guess what? Yep it works how odd.

Now get the home (middle button) to work for recents when holding down and I will be money...

Thanks again for replies.

Yes, I wiped all before installing ROM. Probably just my VZW phone I will go hack attack it today. You said your home button when hold actually shows recent apps without editing any files?

Are you on a Note 2?

Thanks for the replies.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mazz0310:
I haven't tried the dialer as I use Google Voice but when I made a phone call yesterday and they prompted press 1 for ... etc it worked.

The home button/recents does not work for me on this ROM but it does on SlimRom. I think we just need an update to this unofficial CM 11 to fix that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] slick_rick:
That's not sbrissens job as a CM maintainer. They main guys need to merge that source first. Also, if you go back a few pages, the build I posted has the long press home for recent apps and some sprint specific fixes for apns.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] psicorp:
Has anyone had issues with dialer muting the line. I was on a conference call and the mute didn't work either on or off.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] admiral70:
Found out the hard way my device will not mute while on bluetooth. Will try regular phone after this call.

***Update***

When on my bluetooth headset I cannot hit mute on the phone I have to mute using the headset. Perhaps this is all part of KitKat's new way?

Has anyone found a VZW Visual Voicemail apk that works with CM11? Yes I know about Google Voice - fizzbin: I need VVM in addition to that (work/personal line).

I searched XDA and found this thread with a MediaFire hosted apk. Copied to /system/app and fixed permissions. App is installed but FC repeatedly (Voicemail has unexpectedly closed). I can't find any files on the Play Store either. Thanks in advance if you can help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AndrewZorn:
Also interested... and confused. The Voice+ app in the play store is a totally different thing, right?

There's no default Voice+ icon in this CM11 like there I saw in the screenshots.

Was really looking forward to being done with Google Voice app...

Also, I was unable to change density because of superuser issue... went from ART back to Dalvik. Now Superuser grants permission, but the app I was using to change density still does nothing. I don't really like using per-app on Xposed method, because I want the DPI to be 240 across the board (unless there are exceptions, then I use Xposed to change them). Any ideas? 320DPI on a Note 2 is absurd.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
Download the stock rom and extract the VVM apk
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xDanVitox:
I found this on another thread as I've had problems with the proximity sensor on several AOSP roms and kernels. Nobody seems to know exactly what the problem is but seems to have worked and is sticking. I'm on PAC right now on 4.3.1 and haven't tried this rom yet. I just thought I'd show it if you haven't already stumbled on it yourselves. I would obviously nandroid before trying it if you do.

Enter this in terminal

and reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] funnyperson1:
Verizon changed something in those areas to break things, but I think it may be something with the QCRIL changes that enable the problem. Has anyone tried going all the way back to 10.1.3 stable before the QCRIL stuff ever got merged?

Someone in one of the Verizon S3 threads mentioned that perhaps the EFS partition is getting corrupted when the ROM is trying to update it. A bunch of people there got SMS working at least temporarily by going back to touchwiz stock, reprovisioning their sim, and then reinstalling CM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
I have. I tried every AOSP rom from past to present.

I also have tried going back to touchwhiz stock and then back to CM a million times. No luck.

I don't see how the EFS data can get corrupted and then flashing back to TW it's not corrupted anymore. EFS data isn't something that just corrupts and uncorrupts on the fly.

To add even more confusion to the loop the latest CM11 for my HTC Rezound allows texting just fine. But not my Note 2.

Google Play Music force closes

Does anyone else have issues with Google Play music force closing (either after a screen rotation, or immediately upon starting the app)? I have been having this issue with ALL 4.4 based ROMs for a while now and can't believe that it's just me. I posted the issue in another ROM thread, and it was suggested to disable Google Now and don't use the Google Now Launcher. I tried this and it worked for a while, but it did force close eventually.

For now, I re-enabled Google Now, but I am running Nova Launcher. I actually find Google Now more useful than Play Music, but I am paying for the subscription to Play Music Unlimited and I can't use it! I keep watching the recently updated files hoping to see an update to Play Music but nothing yet.

EDIT: I am currently running the 4/5 nightly, which I dirty flashed over the 3/29 version, IIRC.

I also tried running Play Music after a clean install of several different 4.4 ROMs and they all did the same force close.

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmike35:
No problems here with google play music, starts up, runs, no fc's, no fc's after rotation has been enabled, disabled, rotated. Running stock kernel (4/5 build), google now is enable, using apex launcher.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] spiff72:
Hmmm - just curious. Are you streaming the music (via Music Unlimited) or playing local music files (from the device)?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmike35:
Playing files from device, I don't buy/stream from it at all, don't have the service, so that could be the main difference.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] spiff72:
OK - thanks. I will try it with local files. I have to clear data for the app to just get it to launch though. (Can't try until I get home)!

Also using PA Gapps on dalvik, don't know if that will help but just more info for you, good luck

I really want to move to 4.4, but I depend on texting for almost all communication. Has this issue been resolved, or is it just a regional thing? Also, are there any volume issues with AOSP? There were a while back on 4.3 AOSP, hoping they were resolved. Thanks in advance
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chachi:
Seems to be regional ... Volume all good here for awhile now

The low volume was improved last month. Devil kernel is very smooth right now, which has even better volume.

The change log shows 49 commits for the "next nightly". That's 3 times the normal amount of nightly commits. I'm assuming that's several nights work for the next upload. They haven't stopped.
