Devil kernel and Devil app found here. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2239453 is what I'm using. It makes performance better and you can bump up volumes. Make sure you download the t0lte one.

Nope
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fordmanck:
Thank you. I was using devil on PA before CM11 came out and it was amazing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
Welcome. The only caviot is the proximity sensor doesn't work. Everything else is flawless. It's worth losing it for performance gain and volume gain.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] marcustaz:
Thanks for the heads up. If I decide I want to go back to stock Kernel how would I, can you backup a kernel using CWM or TWRP?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
Just dirty flash the rom is the easiest. Not sure if it can be backed up with TWRP or CWM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] marcustaz:
Anyone have the link to the latest TWRP? I only see 2.6.3.0 but I saw somewhere there was a 2.6.3.1?? Went over to TWRP but no go on finding an updated version.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fordmanck:

As for the devil kernel proximity not working. If all you want to do is fix volumes you can flash devil kernel, apply the sound changes and then reflash the ROM with the stock kernel and usually the sound tweaks stick.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] marcustaz:
Awesome thank you man I'm going to give it a go if I need any help I'll post back

I see the dim red sensor light on 12/14 build.. Was there a workaround for that from earlier builds? Seems like there was but can't find it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rudy_Ruettiger:
I thought the same thing then I noticed in the settings that this red light comes on if your battery is below 30%. Not sure if this is correct or if it is a bug in fact.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmike35:
I have seen the dim red light as well, on build 12/12, plus I am starting to get blanks and you can't do anything when you answer calls.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrbobo1:
I am sending my phone back for replacement because of the proximity issue, mine is actually fried and even after odin back to stock I get the same issue with phone calls stuck in black screen like you are holding the phone to your face. I downloaded an app to see what the sensor was doing and it's stuck at "near" which explains why the screen stays black. I wonder if running the early builds where the sensor was constantly on fried it. Glad I pay for the protection plan. No hating on sbrisson though, that's why it's called alpha and nightlies and it may have just been coincidence.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] marcustaz:
OK flashed DK used the DK app to turn up sound setting as high as they go and the phone call sounds are marginally better. What I noticed is I have to play with the volume slider while in call to get a boost. If I just make a call even with the volume slider at 100% its still not as high as it should be unless I mess with the slider. But again even then it is marginally better... After the DK install and tweak I installed 12-15 nightly and the DK sound tweaks DID NOT stick.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
I knew the settings wouldn't stick. They are kernel specific.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fordmanck:
My bad. I flash a different kernel and they stick. If the kernel doesn't change those settings they stick.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] marcustaz:
All good appreciate both your help. Love KK but I need my volume especially the phone side. Hate to but may go back to Samsung Touchwiz till the kernal gets updated by Samsung...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cschanck:
Doors anyone else have an additional volume problem that callers complain you are hard to hear in calls with a wired headset? In addition to the other volume problems.

Generally, I find myself reverting to TW solely because if the volume problems.

And since when can you use Devil Kernel with CM11? DK on 10.2 does help with the volume issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
You can use the link I posted a few pages back. It's for the sprint variant of our phone. All works good except proximity and accelermator sensors.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bgowland:
Home button delay

When I hit home button its about a 2 second delay before the phone wakes up. Normal/Expected/Fixable?

Also, 12/15 nightly fixed exchange not syncing issues for me. Sweet. CM11 is now my daily driver. Working freakin awesome since yesterday.

Rocking KK on both my Devices now. Nice to have a common OS.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] andrewc513:
Happens to me too, so known bug I assume. Nightlies are nightlies, it's fixed when it's fixed. Not a big deal until then.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmike35:
That should be normal, it should take a few seconds to turn back on, meaning it is in deep sleep mode, when if comes on instantly normally means the phone isn't entering sleep mode and staying at 200Mhz or whatever.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mac of York:
Aye it is normal. It's why some touchwiz roms have zero wake lag mods. But those keep the phone from going into a deep sleep so imo, it's not desirable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bgowland:
Right. works instantly right after I put it to sleep. Sweet. No wake locks for me then.

See bigmike2's comment above. I'm calling it a good thing :)

Is anyone using ART? and are they stable?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fordmanck:
It worked fine for me except GPS. I went back to dalvik for now.

Does Spen work on this? I don't care about Snote since I use Papyrus, but I need the pen to at least function. Sorry if this has been covered already.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] worjosh19:
I Use GMD SPen Control and use the Spen all the time

ART is working flawless for me. GPS was off, switched to Dalvik, Got a fix, went back to ART and GPS has been perfect here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rudy_Ruettiger:
Same thing here. I had to odin stock and the pit file to my phone working again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jpcdeux:
Happened to me all I did was wipe, format system and go back to my tw backup and it was fine
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rclar144:
Question: when switching to the new nightly build do I just dirty flash over previous night or do in need to wipe and set up phone every time?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] andrewc513:
Indeed it is. I was flabbergasted to see my phone only drain 1-2% of the standard battery overnight sitting on my nightstand. Hell, my GSIII drained 5% of a 4200mAh battery doing the same thing. (CM11 on Note 2, CM10.2 on the GSIII)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tgyberg:
I've been going dirty all along. I'd say go ahead and if anything gets wonky, do a freshy!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fordmanck:
Thank you for the heads up. Did the same thing now working great.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] worjosh19:
I do the same. Dirty for a long time maybe 10-12 flashes and clean if it gets wonky
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] johnchad14:

Just reporting in after a few days, this is an amazing build, frankly better than a lot of 4.3 roms.

SD had to be in Fat32 for mine to work. exFAT was not recognizing though the info was still there. Also, I plugged it in to the PC and ran a disk check and it found some errors so try that :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] idiotzach15:
I did just that last night, and after some complaints it decided to work. I also had a weird problem where it would switch to the new cyanogenmod lock screen instead of the AOSP lock screen, but that was solved my going into the settings from the lockscreen and uninstalling the app itself. Only problem I've run into now is taking videos, it appears to take a video, then won't be able to play it back. But I believe that is covered in the OP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nkhex19:
Anyone not able to use data while on a phone call? Or has that always not been available and I've just never noticed it? This build is running solid. Easily good enough for DD. Battery life is great to
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Cyclin:
SO really stable so far. Had a slight issue updating SuperSu Binary but that was easily fixed. Anybody have any luck swapping their SD/Internal memory yet?

I've tried a few kernels that can handle the script but each caused the phone to get stuck at after Samsung splash screen. Maybe I should try running the script on stock kernel...but no I don't think that'd work. Thoughts? :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RokuP:
Did you try flashing SuperSU 1.69 from recovery? I did immediately after the ROM and Gapps (without rebooting) and have no issues whatsoever.

Quick Pin ???

I could swear I found a Quick Pin setting to disable the enter key requirement with Exchange PIN code requirements. I just updated to the 12/16 nightly and could not find it. I did set swipe first then added exchange and the PIN code requirement. Some ROMs require having an Exchange PIN policy before the Quick Pin shows up.

Am i just blind. Thanks for any help.

Also, I noticed the key entries when listening to Voice Mail do not work. i.e., can't delete voice messages. I am sure this worked on first install.

I always do a full wipe (Zoots Mega Wipe).

Love all the KK updates to phone dialer, Contacts and Email.

Good stuff.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that couldn't find it. I think it was removed in 12/14 because I did a fresh install with that version and searched and searched for it and never found it. There's a chance it was on 12/15 but either was it's gone at the moment.

So, I was coming from CM10.2. Bit to CWM, factory reset, install latest nightly, install gapps. Reboot.

Did it twice before nandroiding back to 10.2.

If you are using TWRP and it is not the brand new version you will lose connection. I have been using philz's recovery and have been running flawlessly

OK, more info. I was coming from Cm10.2, as I said. VRAMC3 baseband. I jumped back to Beans22 to verify things work (it's my go to TW ROM). Everything is great.

CWM, wipe, install CM11, gapps, wipe.

Reboot, no data. I look in Settings->About Phone, and lo and behold, Baseband version is "Unknown". That seems like a problem.

Anybody seen that?

I'm sure its been asked, and I did read a few posts back as well as a thread search...

Under display the "cast screen" option... One would think its for chromecast, however it does not detect any of my chromecasts and a Google search really only pulls a new app from Koush for screen casting (aka recording the screen) anyone have any insight as to what it is?

Had the same issue with cellular connectivity after upgrading to CM11. Figured I'd give stock 4.3 a test drive and stumbled upon the "firmware package" listed in the OP linked below.

As far as I know, that's the CM implementation of Koush's AllCast app. It doesn't currently support Chromecast, but hopefully will soon with Google opening the restrictions on the Chromecast recently. Right now I think it supports AirPlay and casting to some Roku devices and Xbox possibly. There's a Google+ community for AllCast if you want to check in on progress.

Anyone else having issues with widgets disappearing after reboots on this Rom?

I'm actually developing a widget and while testing, I was starting to go crazy trying to figure out why it was disappearing after a reboot. Then I started to notice other widgets would disappear as well. So I even download a well known widget (HD Widgets) from Google Play and it's doing the same thing. So at this point I figure it has to be in the Rom. Heck who knows, its possible I coulda borked something else up :confused:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigmike35:
On phone calls it seems to half work, works when people call but when I dial out is where it gets sketchy. Sometimes the sensores will work then others the phone will just go blank and nothing will work to get it back on until a min or so of slamming buttons. (12/16 fresh install) stock. On a side note, battery idle drain seems to be good when sleeping but when it isn't android system is like 40% of my battery causing high battery drain, I had to reboot 6 times yesterday to fix it but in the end I have andriod system (keep awake almost 6.5 hours!) That is way to high. The main one I see under better battery stat is "mdm_hsic_pm0" whatever that is, its causing the problem, anyone know what this is? Also, I have uninstalled (deleted) cLock and I can still see it under better battery stats as a resource pulling, whats up with that? Other then that, everything is running smoothly.

I only have 3 widgets on my screen (3 Home Screens using Apex) and haven't seen any widgets disappearing. I have wallpaper trouble in the past, but it seems to be fixed since the 12/14 build, seems more stable.

Can anyone confirm for me if the compass is off?

I use this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mtorres.phonetester&hl=en

O ok, so the modem is doing something funny? I have installed the newest, mj9 modem. Are you saying maybe odin back to stock and flash new modem and see what happens? Besides signal, why would the modem stay awake and casue deep sleep issues?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mac of York:
Honestly, I think it might be a bug with the phone and AOSP, but it's not consistently reproducible. I had it on PAC 4.3.1 but not on CM 4.4.2, which is just odd. Just try another modem, perhaps in a flashable .zip? Sadly, I don't know of any REAL fix but this is the only thing that I've been able to do to prevent this rather annoying Android System wakelock.
