I was just wondering if anyone knows how to bring up the task manager in 4.4. Did they get rid of it or is there one I can install that shows me the apps running and memory consumption? Thanks for an awesome rom!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nullmem:
"Settings > Apps > Running" shows some information about memory usage.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] phillthedrill:
Oh ok, I found that one, but I looking to see if there was a simple shortcut to a task manager in 4.4 or if they got rid of the task manager all together.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tgyberg:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] apacseven:
Not at all. That indicates a slow drain. If it were a steep drop, it would be indicating a problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] timmyd463229:
OK so it's probably going into to deep sleep then? In only asking cause I use wake lock detector and usually I'll just use that to make sure nothing is waking it irregularly but for some reason since I flashed cm11 it doesn't work it shows 0% awake and 0% sleep
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] apacseven:
Correct. You can observe this at the bottom of the graphic you shared, where the Awake bar is only blue at the beginning. When the blue bar under awake breaks off and you see the flat line on the graph, its a great indicator that the phone is entering deep sleep properly.

I tried restoring my phone back to Skynote 4.3 and failed.. so I rebooted phone and now I can not get into recovery nor it boots up.. it only gets to the Samsung splash screen and goes black.. is there any way to get the recovery back to restore CM11 back?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] billybob275:
Just curious, but are you using TWRP to flash this ROM? I would lose Bluetooth when using it, but it would work again when I installed the same ROM with Philz CWM.

But if that doesn't work, just try a full wipe and a clean flash.

Yes. Easiest option is to use Xposed with the NFC module. As a bonus you also get the ability to detect tag loss so you can have a task run only while the phone is sitting on the NFC tag, if you want.

30DEC13 Build

Just installed the 30DEC13 Build

Stock kernel

Did not restore any apps downloaded straight from the store

I haven't been able to reproduce the camera crash. I tried on both the stock camera and JB+ camera (I prefer this one because it lets me store pictures on the SD card).

Bluetooth media streaming to my car stereo has been seamless.

Bluetooth calling from car has been seamless.

I have had a few FC on the Camera and Google+ but they didn't happen when I was using them. Happened when they were running in the background. Ran fix permissions a few times and haven't had an issues since.

Seems that when making a video call in hangouts my video from my camera is upside down.

Anyone else?

I have been experiencing a strange Bluetooth audio problem. Randomly every 1-3 minutes my Bluetooth audio cuts out for a brief second. Does it with all recent roms, with stock kernel and devil kernel. I was trying to get some logs, but I don't really see anything out of the ordinary in the logs. However, I am certainly not an expert on android Bluetooth implementation so I wouldn't know what to look for. The problem only occurs when device is in locked state playing music. If I force screen to stay on, the problem never occurs. Maybe the device is attempting to sleep when my music is playing? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fordmanck:
I should take my own advice sometimes.

I did the same thing today. Flashed the 1/2 nightly with the latest devil kernel. What a difference. Anyone with major issues, do yourself a favor and back up and fresh flash.

compass has been borked since KK came out, the latest devil kernel mentioned a couple posts back fixes the east/west being switched issue, first time I have had the compass correctly get E/W right since KK came out, woo hoo!

sbrissen, is the compass issue on your radar? I mentioned it a long while ago, but others reported it working, I wonder if being on the latest firmware mj9 doesn't play nice with the KK kernels for some reason, dertufel worked it out in devil kernel so maybe he could point you in the right direction.

Appreciate your work, this ROM is almost flawless!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nullmem:
I have always used TWRP. I flashed an older version with odin, but I cannot figure out how to flash the latest touch version as the file from site is a img file, but odin requires tar, and cwm requires zip files ....lol how do i Update? boot into linux and tar the thing? zip it then run from cwm? I seem to be missing something here as updating should be easy. Only other option is to pay $2 per flash using rom manager? :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jiggabitties:
I'm going to follow suit and fresh flash with latest 01/02 Nightly, 01/02 DevilKernel, and 12/30 PA GApps. I will say though, the camera has been performing a bit better, not perfect, but better. Hopefully doing a fresh flash will improve it even further. That's really the main issue for me, battery life has been beyond amazing.

---------- Post added at 07:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:17 PM ----------

I don't think it's per flash, I paid it the once to get the touch version and haven't had to pay again since. I've gone between TWRP and CWM many times, it would seem it checks to see that you've previously purchased and goes forward.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fordmanck:
This is true, just pay once. Either way he can still at least try the free one just to see if it fixes it. Then pony up the 2 bucks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jiggabitties:
Absolutely, and even then the touch version of CWM isn't anything too amazing, not quite like TWRP.

It has gotten slightly better, I was able to switch between video and camera modes several times without it locking up. Turned the screen off and on a few times with no issue. With the focus mode set to "continuous", as it is by default, it froze up on the second picture. Switching it to "Auto" improved it, I was able to take 13 pictures in a row, but alas, still locked up. I'm not mashing the button either, I click it, wait for the picture to take and go into the corner, wait a sec, then click it again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TheKiD075:
When you are doing this are you playing music from the app itself or using a widget on your home screen? Was having the same issue and found the issue to be the widget was opening a second instance of play and completely confusing the two. Removing the widget stopped the issue for me. You have to open Google Play and then start your music, but I no longer have the issue where the music stops when the screen cuts off.

Let me know if it works for you.

Everyone seems to be raving about ART. Anyone try it and notice a difference? If so how is the risk to reward ratio and by risk I mean do the amount of apps incompatible with ART make it not worth using at this point?

I've only encountered three incompatible apps so far, Doodle Jump, Titanium Backup, and GMD SPen Control (it boots, but the gestures don't work), the rest I've tried worked fine. And I've tried a relatively high number of apps. I doubt you'll run into many problems as long as you're running SuperSu.

Did you flash in CWM or TWRP? If in TWRP, you need to flash in CWM
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Realm11984:
Maybe we need to post CWM in the OP is MUST in size 100 font with red text because the step by step directions weren't clear enough?

Lol! I think we have all been there before. Get so excited we forget to read and not skim.

As for the ART and root, I know it has been discussed a little in here already but I thought I would post my personal experience just to help others that jump in.....

After the ROM was loaded and apps installed, I ran a root check app from the market to verify root. I then downloaded the latests supersu zip directly from chainfire's website and flashed it from CWM. After that I rebooted opened supersu and ran another root check. Once root was verified I switched to ART and let it do its thing. This takes a little bit depending on how many apps you have. When rebooted I was running using ART and rooted. I read several people have done the same without any issues. Good luck!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dave3588:
To everyone having issues getting to recent apps. There is a fix/workaround for that but would require you to wipe your data. First, clean flash a 4.3 rom. In my case I was coming from Carbon so that's what I used and this worked fine for me with no force closes. When your phone boots up, go into your settings where it allows you to change your button actions. Allow custom buttons and then make sure longpress home says recents. It should by default but I went ahead and clicked on it and selected it again to make sure this would stick. When that is done reboot to recovery and dirty flash cm11 (yes, it will still work even coming from carbon) You should now have working recents the normal way. As far as I know, you won't be able to get around the wiping data to get to 4.3, and making a backup of cm11 in cwm will only overwwrite this fix anyway in my experience. But having to restore all your apps again is worth it to me. No recents was bugging me lol

That voicemail bug would be a dealbreaker for me :(

The other two issues are pretty benign, but I can't live without vmail access

Try STweaks if your kernel supports it. It's not nearly as noob friendly as the Touchwiz screen modes, but you can adjust screen settings and change saturation & hue. I had to do this on my S3.

You would get way better battery life than that if you turn off wifi and mobile location services. They are not needed. GPS location is more than enough. I get the amount hours you get than some and still in the 90+ battery life. So what you posted is nothing compared to what can be achieved.
