I wonder if the issue has to do with the launcher since the homescreen is what seems to cause our problems

---------- Post added at 03:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:14 AM ----------

Well look at that. It seems the google launcher was the problem.

The audio seems to work fine using nova launcher.

I suspect the ones who couldn't emulate the audio problem were not using the google launcher.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rippedwarrior69:
Every phone is different. I don't have the audio problem you speak of and I am using the google launcher. Do we have to flash the audio boost after every nightly update?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
Yup no audio issues and I use Nova. Nova is the bomb.

Yes

I have always used nova. Yet the problem persists.

I'm done with nightlies. Sbrissen's ROM addressed almost everything that made me try out other ROMs. Volumes and battery are greatly improved. I don't see anything mind blowing coming down the pipe for CM11, so I'm happy right here for a while.

If they're baked in great, even better.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tgyberg:
Sounds good to me! This is the first time I've stayed up with nightlies.. how long does this usually go on? I think we are getting close to 90 of them! :cyclops:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ultimatdan:
SD Swap?

Is there any way of getting sd swap working on the CM11 note2 rom or on any of the CM note2 roms for that matter? Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sbrissen:
audio changes are merged now so the next nightly should have them in it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WisdomWolf:
I don't know about SD Swap, but I use FolderMount to just create links for the relevant folders, mainly Download, DCIM, and some folders in /Android/data or /Android/obb.

Does ART work with today's nightly (which is labeled 2/25, for some reason)? Anyone daring enough to check?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] amoot329:
Since I've been following the nightlies and then seen that Sbrissen uploaded the volume mod. I'm back with this almighty rom. The last rom I was using, was Omni rom. The only good thing it had going for it was the omniswitch. Really loved that feature but alas better volume overweighed that feature.

Keep up the good work :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sbrissen:
no

Is there a way to get better battery life? Can not go a half day on a single charge. I use Greenify but it does not help much. On touchwiz I can go 2 days on a single charge.

Yes.

Wow, I hadn't even considered it might be the launcher. I was using the Google Now launcher, but switched to Apex and issue solved. Thanks for the idea!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sbrissen:
Just a heads up, the latest nightly will probably not boot, mediaserver keeps crashing. I'm working at fixing this now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] redskinsfan:
I'm running the 02/27 nightly with ART and it is working - dirty flashed it over the 02/26 nightly. Having said that, I did notice unusual battery drain after installing it. Cleared cache and it seems better now. Will report later after a full day of use.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sbrissen:
any weird graphics? like when holding power down, does the reboot/shutdown menu appear?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] redskinsfan:
No, power menu is fine. The only weird thing I noticed was the spinner when the apps were being rebuilt after flashing the new nightly. The spinning circle wasn't smooth. I saw in the changelog that the boot sequence was supposed to have been sped up for multi core processors and was thinking that perhaps the multiple cores were used for building the binaries and so the animation was jittered. I didn't time the startup, but it didn't feel faster than the previous nightly. That (and the battery drain) aside, however, no weirdness in this build for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chachi:
0227 boots ok for me but battery life is atrocious and it won't really charge up, it seems to drain as quick as it tops up ...

reverting back for now

[edit] damn ... 0226 won't charge up now either :mad:

[edit2] ok ... 2 reboots and a batterystats.bin deletion seems to have solved it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rippedwarrior69:
The newest nightly works good. Just the battery drains really fast.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] CallerHoller:
My battery was great when I first flashed sbrissen's 2/20 ROM. Now I'm having the quick battery drain I've experienced with the generic CM11 kernel.

I'm back tracking some apps I installed that might be draining. Uninstalled Tweetpix and Nova launcher, but I'm not sure what else I may have done
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmixxx:
Have you set your location stuff to battery savings?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JamesR624:
I've already done so. ALL the builds I've tried (2/26, 2/27, 2/28) have had GARBAGE for battery. I turned GPS to battery saving, greenified everything I could. Could someone please mention if there are ANY builds with usable battery? Right now, sadly, CM is useless because of this battery drain. AND there seems to be a horrible wakelock issue even after all this. (not that that should matter with kitkat and the note 2 because even WITH wakelocks, the batter shouldn't be this atrocious.)

And please don't just tell me to keep turning off features. I bought a powerful smartphone because I want to USE it. Not just have it sit here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rclar144:
This seems to a problem that YOU are having with battery drain! Not me never have ! I go 25-34 hrs per charge and that's using ART as well. Maybe you're phone is JACKED!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dwnhiller:
I have always had great better life with this ROM until recently.. Here's what I did. I just downloaded the small gapps the micro modular. And whatever I needed that it didn't come with I got from the play store and that seemed to fix it for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JamesR624:
What do you mean the small gapps micro modular? Could you point me to where you've found that? And why would this fix things? Did you remove things like google search and gmail and get them from the store?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dwnhiller:
Yep.. Right here

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Joebroni:
I'm using 02-27 and I was getting horrible battery life too. I had to disable Google Now because I was getting over 10% drain per hour with the screen OFF. In use, it was much worse of course. Disabling GN didn't seem to make a huge dent in the loss though.

I decided to try a kernel. Something I haven't had to do in the past and Devil/Agni never seemed to agree with my phone. Well, using the latest Agni Anyrom 2.7.1 worked wonders for me. I was at 3h30m screen on time last night with like 45% battery left. Overall phone was on like 18hrs. It was absurd for a 4.4 rom on my phone. And it was mostly gaming too!

I'll try enabling GN again soon and see what it does to my battery life this time around.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pjim:
This ROM made me delete my backup!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tdrussell:
Would anyone running CM11 happen to have modded their i605 for wireless charging? I dove into this the other day and electrically i believe my setup is correct...but it won't charge. I saw mention in the i7100 wireless charging thread that they've been unsuccessful with wireless charging after switching to kitkat based roms.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JamesR624:
Wow. Could someone explain HOW they get CM to run so stable on this phone?

EVER since I've bought it, ANY CM rom, CM10.1, 10.2, or 11, is unstable as hell, REGARDLESS of the "stability" and "fixes" presented on the website. EVERY CM rom has issues with the phone not waking from sleep if you leave it off for a certain amount of time, audio clicking, and notifications being unreliable.

Is everyone who is talking about how stable this rom is just glossing over all this? I have had 3 Verizon Galaxy Note 2's and ALL have these EXACT same issues on ONLY AOSP based roms. What the hell is going on?

Things I have tried:

- Replacing the whole phone (3 times).

- Replacing the kernel. I have used ANYROM, Plasma, and N.E.A.K.

- Flashing different nightlies and versions. (including both dirty flashes AND wipes.)

ONLY TouchWiz roms work okay. NO AOSP roms are stable enough for me to use as a daily driver? What the hell?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Lodingi:
Off the top of my head I would say to make sure you wipe your internal storage before flashing any rom. You should also use the recommended flash utility in each rom's op. These 2 oversights are usually the cause of most errors and stability issues.

For me this rom is very stable and fast. My only problem is the headset jack issue discussed in this thread.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JamesR624:
I have done both. I have previously wiped my internal storage and that made no difference...

I have been using the latest version of TWRP. Flashed the nightly and then flashed the GApps.

(Edit: I have also dirty flashed one nightly. From 2/28 to 3/01. It seems the autodownloader DOES NOT correctly flash so I have to do it manually.)

The turning off issue is that my phone will not wake up from either the power button nor home button sometimes. I either have to wait for a while or pull out the battery. Perhaps there is a process or option making this happen during a certain process. That is really the only "killer" issue for me. If someone could possibly explain why this happens on EVERY SINGLE CM rom (Carbon, Pac-man, ParanoidAndroid, AOKP, AND regular CM), I would be very greatful. It seems to be the one constant (besides the "could not connect to camera" issue all the time. Don't tell me the camera is stable in your rom when it's clearly not.)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Lodingi:
I believe it's recommended to use CWM for this ROM. Give it a try.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JamesR624:
What differences are there between CWM and TWRP that would have an effect on rom stability and sleep/wake issues?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] CallerHoller:
I use Philz with great results. Which is a custom cwm

Right now the browsers are giving me poop. Android browser won't let me attach anything. The menu doesn't open to select a file. So I'm forced to use Chrome and since flashing yesterday it won't sync all my desktop bookmarks.

Also text arrangement gets jumbled up. If I turn the phone to landscape and back it corrects the text. Might this be a sensor issue?

My last flash was 2/20. Neither were an issue.

*I used PA Gapps micro mod, so I had to download Chrome from Google Play. Which I did twice, to see if reinstalling would help
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pjim:
Nobody has really ever taken the time to explain this. But I was using twerp and could not get data to save my life. I flashed using the the absolute latest CWM and bam! I had data.

As far as stability, I finally had to use Odin to flash the last 4.1.2 Vzw rom with a pit and let it just wipe the phone completely, unlock the bootloader, basically start from complete scratch. Then the CM nightlies started working like butter.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] amoot329:
I've flashed the 4.3 firmware from the Alliance's thread and have been on that for a month or so. Flashed the audio fix by sbrissen from this thread and the AGNI kernel. Haven't had any major issues at all. Rarely, does the phone not respond when I press the power button, coming from a deep sleep. Takes maybe couple seconds before the screen comes on. I believe AOSP roms have the touch-wake lag issues? There was a mod before but that killed my battery like crazy. All it did was prevent the phone from going into deep sleep.

I've flashed the ROMs, gapps and others using Philz CWM. No issues with data.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] CallerHoller:
I just had a heart attack! Dropped my phone in a rainy parking lot. Only save was that it fell on its back. About a quarter inch of water, but nothing got in the battery cover. :highfive:

After Uninstalling Nova and Sound Hound my battery is better. I think CM11 prefers Trebuchet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sully112277:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Joebroni:
I won't really bother commenting on why your phones dont agree with 4.4 ROMs. Unless I'm there to see the steps you're taking or all of the versions you're using, it's not worth diving into it. I personally just use TWRP 2.6.3.2 nowadays for everything. The only time I used CWM or Philz was when the 4.3 ROMs were hitting the scene and it made a difference occassionally when using TWRP on the reliability. Since 2.6.3.2 released, and I flashed the 4.3 modem, I haven't had a reason to go back.

I had a lot of random reliability issues using 4.3 ROMs, pre-KK days, with all of the issues you described above. So I would just move back to 4.1.2 (Tweaked was my preference) and every month try things again to see if it was better. It never was. When KK came out, I kept trying to switch but losing the modem on flashing was a PITA, so I kept to 4.1 until I finally ODIN'd the modem. I've used these CM roms now for a couple months with the only deal-breaker for me being the camera for a time there.

Over the last couple weeks, I've had situations where the screen wouldnt turn on, but it's when I'm using the phone and just set it down for a few minutes or something. Nothing like the overnight crashes I used to have on my GNEX that required a battery pull. Usually a fast combination of random home/power presses turns the screen on and it's good again. Haven't had to pull the battery yet. And it's something that MIGHT happen once a day, if that.

As for the camera, it's been fixed for me for weeks now. Like if I had to guess, maybe the beginning of February or mid-Feb? I haven't had anything go wrong with it in that long to even remember when. I generally take pictures every day or two for work so I would have a problem if it didnt work. I just took 2 tonight at different times and they came out fine.

But yeah, all the problems you're describing sounds like my AOSP 4.3 days on this phone. 4.4.2 has been smooth sailing for me. Camera, reliability, bluetooth headset audio, notifications, battery (with a kernel), ui modifications, all of the important stuff to me. Don't know what to tell you. YMMV

Strange Issue - Texting only works on TW roms now :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Lodingi:
Wow. I read the thread. That's insane. I don't recall this issue on previous AOSP Roms.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
Started on February 20th. Going back to older aosp roms doesn't fix it. Let me know if you find a resolution or another aosp rom that works. I don't want to clog this forum with anymore off topic stuff.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] CallerHoller:
Flashed 3/4 this morn cuz of all the browser commits. However none addressed the file select menu not popping up. So I'm still downloading Chrome from the Play Store.

Chrome still won't restore desktop bookmarks, and it's still jumbling text in this forum. The page loads normally and right at the end the font changes size and jumbles on top of each other. If I tilt the screen to landscape and back it corrects the font.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
It's a funky Verizon issue. Your area isn't affected.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] amoot329:
Ok well was wondering if its a possible radio issue that can be resolved by the prl? By going in the phone option via *#*#4636#*#*. My radio is currently set to let/CDMA. Dunno if there was a way to change the prl.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
I have tried reflashing several different radios. Including returning the phone to stock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] amoot329:
Hmm that is really odd. Still curious if your prl remains the same for both TW and AOSP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
Not sure. I tried restoring a cm backup from October last year and same issue. I'm not too familiar with prl and what would all the sudden change it to work on TW and not aosp. But there are several posts from central pa users on vzw and xda across several devices with the same weird issue. The question is why does TW work and not any aosp ROM including older ones that worked before for us central pa folks. Switching to cdma only allows texting again and toggling airplane mode allows one text to send and then it dies again. There has also been reports of changing your area code with Verizon from 717 to something else fixes it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] amoot329:
So in a sense, there is lte issues with AOSP ROMs. Since you tried backups from October then would have to be vzw. Wouldn't be surprised if they're trying to monopolize there phones. They are locking down the bootloader more than Fort Knox. Not sure how the ROM developers are gonna be able to resolve this and possibly further issues. It may become more widespread.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
Yup LTE issues. You don't realize how bad TW is until you get forced into using it if you want texting. Everything else was working great but Feb 20 marked the day of no more aosp for 717 area code. Damn my luck lol.

Figured out why SMS would hang/not send

For anyone who runs into the issue I was having, it turns out that Voice+ is the culprit. Even disabled, it eventually prevents SMS from going out of the stock messaging app. At least it does on my i605.

I used TiBu to uninstall it and ES to delete the apk from /system/app and now messaging is working the way it's supposed to.

[edit]

Perhaps I was too hasty. Doing the above allowed me to send 2 SMS messages without rebooting instead of just one, but there is still some dreck left over from Voice+ I guess. Time to reflash without the apk in the zip file and see if that fixes it.

[/edit]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 66racer:
I have a weird issue that's minor but irritating. When I lock the phone and next time I wake it up it will flash the home screen or sometimes the last app open before going to the lock screen. I think this started with the 3-1 and newer builds. I did a clean install on 3-1 or the release before.

I'm using the stock launcher but even trebuchet does it; which I was using before going back to stock launcher.

Stock kernel too.

Thanks
