Would you happen to know which version of devil to use I just tried the one I thought was it and soft bricked my phone. I got it back by reflashing the rom but I have stock kernal. Thanks.

I have been catching up on the thread and I have a few questions.

Has the camera focusing issue been fixed? Even with Devil Kernel installed?

How is the battery drain if I were to dirty flash it? Is there any?

Thanks,

Nick

I never had camera focus issues mine works great. As far as your second question dirty flashing is hit or miss. Your mileage will vary. I usually have no issues with it. When I do I wipe and flash fresh. But battery is good on devil kernel not sure about stock.

So I have been noticing the Las couple of weeks that when I use the charger that cake with this phone or the one that came with my tablet (2 amp) it charges slower than using one from an old HTC phone or a Chrome cast charger(1 amp) I am using devil kernal and have the devil tools app what values should I change to improve charging?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nick19268:
Are you running Devil kernel and it's working just fine? I sense a nightly update coming tomorrow. I'm currently running the 1/7 nightly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nullmem:
As of now few apps support ART, so the performance is not really noticeable in my opinion. This has been a concern for me as well though, as I wish to use ART when there is better app support. Hopefully the battery issues in CM11 kernel get resolved soon. But for now, 40hrs of battery is more useful than 8 hrs of battery with slight performance increase on a few apps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
Yes with devil kernel.

It use to be a option/cherry pick back in the day, I tried wanan xposed and kit but xposed didn't work and kit doesn't have the option. Also, not in gravity box. But anyways, is there a way to change the carrier banner in pull down notification and lock screen by any chance?

I see the cursor scroll with volume buttons still do not work unless use set it using gravity box. The rom option one is broke!

Hello,

I'm on the 1/14 nightly and my camera only force closes when I try to open photosphere, but I can then immediately return the camera app to take standard photos or videos.

But the problem is my camera still defocusses before snapping the picture!! This is driving me nuts. I have to take the shot 5 or 6 times before it comes out in focus.

Any advice?

Thanks!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tdrussell:
I'm skeptical :o. I've now been able to reproduce the focus issue on 2 other (not i605) devices running CM11 nightlies from the last week.

If you tap (very important that the focus is user-initiated) to focus on an object in near-field (a foot or so) then hit the shutter button while the camera still has focus, it will break focus as it snaps the image. the only way for me to take an in-focus image on any of these devices was to leave the camera in "Continuous Picture" focus mode.

---------- Post added at 11:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 AM ----------

Set the focus mode to "Continuous picture" and wait for the camera to autofocus before snapping. that's the only solution i've found so far.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jiggabitties:
My experience has been the same. Tap to focus, hit the shutter button, blurry photo. Every time. And again, doesn't seem to matter what app you use. And if the object you want to focus on isn't in the center? Fuhgetabout it...

As of 01/14 nightly I can report that Bluetooth streaming has improved for me. It no longer resets during a phone call or while playing music.

Volume has been acceptable.

So really the only problem I'd say I have as of now is the camera focus and gallery thumbnail issue.

Hey guys I just noticed that I'm not getting my voice mail notifications. Is there a setting I can click on to enable it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Haydenpup:
In the phone settings, tap "voicemail" under the "other call seetings" section, then check "message wait indicator". I always miss this when I flash cm. Seems it should be on by default...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Syns:
Thanks but I don't have voicemail button to tap?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mcweinert:
Hold 1 on the dialpad
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Haydenpup:
Strange. To be clear, I'm talking about tapping Voicemail in the call settings, not on a voicemail notification.

When I open the phone app, it opens to my list of favorite/recent contacts. From there I can tap the overflow menu at the lower right to get to Call Settings. Voicemail is listed down under Other Call Settings. After tapping Voicemail in the Call Settings menu, there is a check box to enable the message wait indicator.

Humm I'll give that a try!! Thanks for your help!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nullmem:
Also, if you didn't flash kernel at the same time as CM11, or you need to flash kernel without CM11 for any reason, make sure you always clear your Dalvik Cache. This needs to be done so apps, including android system apps use new libraries. If you flash at same time you do CM11 there is no need because dirty flash of CM11 always forces Dalvik Cache flush.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nick19268:
Fixed my issue. Thanks! Now this rom is perfect!

I also use TWRP 2.6.3.1 and i believe it's latest version.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] E30Nova:
So it's been a while since I've updated and I'm planning on doing a clean wipe and flash. I have today's nightly and am gonna download the latest gapps (didn't have the link, so I just googled and this was the first link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2397942 , hopefully that's the right one). My question is, I don't think I've ever been able to wipe dalvik with CWM or Philz. I'm on Philz right now, and every time I go to wipe dalvik it says something like "error unknown path for sd ext"...

I don't remember exactly what it says since I haven't updated my phone in a week or two. But is it actually wiping when it says that or is there some problem with a directory or something? I never had any message like that when I used TWRP.

Hopefully this will fix the android os problem...:fingers-crossed:

I'm not currently on this rom, but I was a few weeks ago. Anyway, have the front facing camera issues been cleared up? (Anyone who's tried recording and uploading videos on Instagram, Snapchat, or Vine using the FFC know what I mean).

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mcweinert:
The front and back camera stop recording after a few seconds even with fix mentioned above. A workaround I found is install xposed and a module called snapshare. You can record the video ahead of time with the camera app and then upload to snapchat/instagram
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WisdomWolf:
anyone else having audio issues in games? Specifically Dropchord for example.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jiggabitties:
The Dalvik wipe is still successful. I'm not 100% sure what the path it's searching for is, I believe it's searching for apps you may have installed to external SD, but it's separate from the Dalvik wipe. Good way to know that it's working as it should is when you boot you should get the "Android is upgrading xx of xxx apps". Not during a fresh flash, but any other time, like a dirty flash of a nightly.

Also, you would be correct on the link. I use the "stock" package. Looks like a new build was uploaded just this morning.

---------- Post added at 08:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:17 AM ----------

I don't have a problem recording video with either camera. For me it just craps out when I try to post it. Even with a video I've already recorded, I can open it in instagram, apply whatever filter, hit next and select the thumbnail, but as soon as I try to post it gives me a "Sorry Instragram has closed". At which point I punch the cat I was trying to post a video of.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] CallerHoller:
The only significant issue I had on 1/16 was the screen blackout during calls, not coming back on till other party ends call. Only when I placed calls from phone app call history. If I placed a call from people app the screen didn't black out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fordmanck:
It's a prox sensor issue. Mine has been flaky again lately. I'm about to format internal and start from scratch with today's build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] CallerHoller:
Only in the phone app though?

What does format internal mean? I fresh flash every time. Using Philz
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fordmanck:
It means I'm formatting the internal memory of the phone doing a complete fresh flash. No, the sensor doesn't work for me at all. There is an app in the market you can test with.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] CallerHoller:
Okay. My sensors work for everything else. My screen and buttons don't work for calls from the phone app. Which is annoying cuz I tend to place calls from call history.

On 1/17, crack flash. See how it goes today. :good:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kuchar09:
Ok did a fresh install again with nightly 1-17, PA gapps stock 1-17, and devil kernel 1-2.

Getting much better battery life from the looks of it. I'm assuming a little bit of Android OS is normal?

I've been running for about an hr more than my last results with 30 min more of screen on time and 35 min of phone calls and still have 10% more than last night so I think I fixed my issues but I'll leave it off the charger tonight and see what happens.

Hum; can't upload screen shots from my phone. Sure part of my massive drain is caused from my bad reception (thx Vegas) but gez on 1-17 build I'm loosing battery pretty fast.

78% and only 23mins of screen on accounting for 26% of use. Android os 20% and play services 19%

Only had 4mins of talk as well, looked at maps and web browser but no navigation. This is on stock kernel but when I was on agni it was no better.

I did a complete internal wipe and install Friday. After flashing only the ROM and Gapps my prox sensor wasn't working. I then flashed devil kernel and the sensor was working.

Is the prox sensor still a known issue? For some reason I thought it was resolved.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
I have used both but the last few months I have used twrp.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fordmanck:

Hopefully I can figure this out. It's otherwise rock solid for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 66racer:
I haven't had issues with my prox sensor.

Really only "complaints" are the camera focus issue, the occasional crash which happens far less than before, but the battery life is the one I hope gets refined at the top of my list. Oh and setting the camera to save to SD would be nice too rather than using root explorer to move them over.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
I honestly believe the battery issue isn't even "fixable" unless Google figures it out. We now have official 4.3, and I was finding nearly IDENTICAL battery life on that update as I did with the 4.3 AOSP ROM's. In fact, the AOSP ROM's had BETTER battery life. So honestly, I don't even think it's up to the devs to fix that terrible battery life. I think it's just a 4.2+ issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
I had to laugh at this. What battery issue? I get amazing battery life on this phone and any 4.3/4.4+ AOSP rom. If you have terrible battery life then you have something wrong on your end.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cpomike13:
I have to agree with dreamFX. We've have seen screen shots of some great examples up to 40 hrs. I don't see anything near that, but I get some decent hrs depending on my usage, about 12 to 18 hrs.

Big Mike's Lil R2D2 running CM KitKat/Devil
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fordmanck:
Agreed. I've seen battery issues but I think it's caused by dirty flashing, nothing to do with the ROM itself. After a fresh flash and devil kernel I'm seeing well over 4 hours of screen time and easily 24 plus hours of battery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmike35:
I agree, my battery life on these nightlies are amazing. I get about 30-40hours up time with 5-6 hours on screen. Even with stock kernel I get decent battery life but with devil it is amazing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmixxx:
So it wasnt just me in my thinking...(this battery problem has to be reception related)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tdrussell:
There's a pretty well documented battery drain issue with Google Play Services around location reporting. They pushed a new version last week that was said to fix this, but it looks like a slow rollout and may not be a complete solution. Obviously battery life will be highly dependant on location settings and location usage regardless.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 66racer:
Well there is erratic performance for sure. I changed back my location setting from device only to high accuracy but still leave GPS off till needed and for the first time insaw 2.5hrs screen on at 50% which matches my touch wiz ROMs.

Well then last night I decided to test overnight drain since I have a second battery. Went from 46% to 26% by morning which was about 6hrs of sleep. 20% in 6hrs which was weird. WiFi was on as opposed to pure 4g use during the day.

I changed some settings so we will see how wifi does tonight.

My active use battery performance hasn't been different using devil or agni except my phone gets warmer than normal so I'm sticking to stock kernel for now till I get stock as tuned as possible to eliminate the basics.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] italbomber:
Thanks a lot! Idk why I was having issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nullmem:
Yes, I have tested this quite a bit myself. The Devil kernel fixes the Android OS drain, (which is by far the biggest offender) but does not fix the Google Play Services drain. I use Devil kernel with CPU set to 200/1600 (as I don't play any games or use any thing that needs mad CPU), and I keep location services turned off when i don't need them (at home or at work), and I use GPS Device Only when i am out and about. (as the Google Play Services drain seems to be tied to wifi/cell part of location services), and I am getting 40+ hours of battery life.

I just wish profiles were more flexible, more specifically 2 things would be help greatly: 1. "Mobile Data" needs "Preferred network type" as well as off so i can have LTE turn off when i arrive at work or home. 2. "GPS" needs to include the 3 options in "Location mode" settings.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RevMike:
Battery Drain

I went from the 20140111 nightly to the 20140118 nightly, and the battery was draining like crazy. The phone was on course to drain the battery in about 6 hours with the screen off.

I had battery stats plus installed, so I checked that. Under CPU usage I saw that "Themes Provider" had maintained a full wake lock for over two hours, basically since the 18 nightly was installed. I have never used Themes at all.

I went into Settings -> Themes and explicitly applied the System Theme. The wake lock from Themes Provider stopped, and battery life went back to 24h or so.

I hope this helps someone else.

I'm still having this issue. The latest modem plus CM11 = UNKNOWN baseband for me. Restored my latest nandroid and it was fine.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmike35:
I'm not 100% sure what exactly your are looking for but to get the MJ9 modem to work with 4.4+, you need to wipe everything, install a 4.3 TW rom, odin the new package that is around, boot into the touchwize rom after that and check wifi/data and phone status in settings. It should have took the MJ9 update, now wipe data/user, cache, dalvik and install 4.4 nightly and it should work. I ran into that problem not being able to upgrade and/or no baseband when trying to use 4.4 as the flasher. Using the TW rom works, dont ask me why or how but thats how I was to achieve it on my phones
