Try the rom before the you have. Follow the same install process.

Hey patch is it possible to have a script that will disable HW overlays in settings as opposed to remembering to disable it manually? If not is this possible via Xpose Framework? Not a big snafu, just one of those things. Appreciate your work on these kitkats, thanx.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] patch_Adams:
pollution patch does just that
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jayinc11:
As many times as I have flashed these 4.4 roms+the patch I had never noticed that option (in the patch) - always go with all options as pre-selected, uber, and just hit next. Well just re-applied the patch HWO disable only, rebooted but it didn't stick. Since the goodness I gets outta of this rom is mighty as an elephant this wannabe gnat on it's butt ain't worthy of him to be noticed or bothered with. Thanx though for your time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Polluti0n:
You need to get the newest version of my patch. Version 2. It now has it's own thread.. I would link it but I'm on my phone.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] patch_Adams:
That's my bad P......OP was still linked to your V.1 patch. I fixed it now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Polluti0n:
Its all good. Thanks boss.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jayinc11:
Done but uh oh...so I went ahead and applied version 2 patch with everything selected. Since then I seem to have a little buddy following me everywhere now with every app I open. The HWO patch did not stick so me thinking I revert to previous nandback up with version 1 patch.

EDIT:

Wanted to confirm reverting to ver. 1 patch life is back to normal.

I am wondering whether write to external SD Card permissions comes fixed with this rom or if we need this->http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2684188
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Theoriginalgiga:
First I'd like to say I really like the layout of the rom and the ability to decide the amount of google things to install, it's simple and clean which is what I want from a ROM and I do like using the Google Now interface. Now with that being said I'm sorry if I sound like I'm beating a dead horse but I've been experiencing a couple problems. First I've done the 3x wipe on everything but the external sd card. I've installed using TWRP 2.7.0.0 and installed the ver2 patch, selected UBER kernel. All fresh installed apps.

1) battery information doesn't seem to update properly and sometimes the drain is incredible. I've been running for 2 days and day 1 battery went through 40% in 8 hours and the second day went through all 100% in under 5 hours.

2) sometimes I hit the power button, screen remains black. Sometimes from there I can hit the button again and it'll come back on, but most of the time no and have to reboot the phone.

3) dreadfully slow lag sometimes, So much so it's fully unresponsive, other times it runs like a top.

4) black screen when attempting to load some apps. it'll produce a black screen, seems to lock up and goes back to a combination of lock screen and home screen (shows just the home button then goes right back to the lock screen)

5) Random reboots, open an app, it chugs away and bam, reboot.

6) have seen com.android.systemui crash error

7) really slow app installs. not a huge issue, but just curious

Any suggestions would be great!

Again thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Polluti0n:
Try changing your governor and I/o scheduler. I have mine set to Wheatley/zen and 1512/192 for max and min mhz. With these settings and uber kernel my phone lasts all day, is buttery smooth, and constantly has WiFi hotspot turned on.

-Polluti0n
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Theoriginalgiga:
Thanks for the suggestions. I performed another full wipe this evening, set the governor as you recommended (except I kept the min at the 351). I ran back into the com.android.systemui crash again. I ran a fix permissions and I THINK that's gone. I believe the app lockup/screen returning to lock screen is related to that and I haven't seen that yet (but it's only been a couple hours). I dropped in one of my other batteries as the one I had in it had a slight bulge in it so it may have been bad causing the battery issues. I ran into the black screen again when trying to wake it up but I think that'll be solved with the governor changed.

Apps install faster now and load quicker.

No random reboots, but it's still only been a few hours.

I'll run it through it's paces again tomorrow and update if there's any significant change in performance.

**Update**

Experienced an odd problem. I set a ringtone from my selection I keep in a folder on my SD card and this morning and instead of using said ringtone it reverted to default and gave a general reference number (IE 3048) instead of the ringtone similar like when you accidentally delete the ringtone or restore an alarm app what points to a particular audio file. I'm going to try copying the folder to the internal memory and see if it resolves it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jayinc11:
My phone has been running great but I noticed it's now taking sooo long to charge. Has anyone else encountered this and what was the fix?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] delawaredrew:
I sold both our Notes on ebay last week.. Got a Galaxy S5 and HTC M8 now so I'm off to those forums. Just when I finally got comfortable with frequently trying out new ROMs and returning to LiquidSmooth I get 2 new phones to learn...

I sold one Note with LiquidSmooth installed, hope the new owner finds his way here. He has a lot to learn...

Thanks to all who helped me here and especially these members:

Patch - Thanks for the ROM! I ran it for a long time and it ran well; despite my attempts to kill it with the wrong kernel.:good:

P0llution - The ROM fix was great and helped me keep the Note for alot longer than other phones! Your advice on the kernel switch was crucial.:cyclops:

So...the good news:

I've been trying to get 4.4.3 liquid to finish building

the bad news:

Not done yet.....

Honestly guys, Everything I have built in the last month either breaks, doesn't boot, or has broken features. I do hope to get Liquid 4.4.3 going for ya'll though :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Gil81:

This issue solved thusly, flashed Gapps, agreed to Googly spying on me and bam!

My GPS is not locking. I don't have Gapps so I use MapFactor: GPS Navigation. Now I just installed it on this rom and it won't get/locate and/or lock any GPS location. It worked great on the device JB stock at the time as well as on BeanStalk 4.4. Both without data. I have it running on a buddy's CM10 4.2, same device and it works just fine. I have installed, re-installed, disabled AFWall+ and still won't lock GPS to a location. I am wondering what I can do for a fix.

Device is i717

Finally got it boys and girls!!! New build in OP. Disable HW Overlays right away (or just run P0llutions Patch). Otherwise you will have screen flicker. Let me know what else is acting funky, thanks!

Testing so far so good, so good I'm sopping it up with a biscuit. Thanx bud.

EDIT:

The maximum display time before same shuts off is 30 minutes. Can this be extended say 2, 4, hours etc, including a Never option to shut off display? If I recall correctly I think that's the BS Rom setup, not sure though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] elving53:
There is no option in apps to move them to the sd card. Is this common for 4.4.3?

Can you move apps to sd card?

4.4.3 is running smooth except Pollution's screen flicker patch is not working, had to manually disable hardware overlays...

I tried to flash the latest ROM on this thread, but it's not working for me. TWRP2.6 fails on the install. Twrp 2.6 also fails on the install of TWRP2.7 as that was my first thought as to what was wrong.

Anyone have any ideas as to what the problem is?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zeddock:
Several post from first mentions CWM is needed versus TWRP. Not sure if that still holds.

---------- Post added at 10:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:55 AM ----------

Firstly, thanx for sticking with the ole Note.

I am slobbering about moving to a new dd. I think this is it! Mostly because YOU remain a consistent supporter/dev!

Thank you.

I have recently (read months!) Been on Candy Kat, and Nightly CM11 builds.

If pollution's script is no longer working, is it something I should even add or run on this ROM?

Did mute and or speakerphone echo get resolved or does it continue still in 4.4 ROMs?

Can anyone comment on BT and GPS on this shiney new 4.4.3?

Thanx Patch. Really!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ournewhero:
dirty flashed this over top of the latest build, flashed the latest PA GApps mini modular, and my phone is now running like a rockstar! no problems whatsoever!

P0llution's v2 patch didn't hold the HW Overlays for me, but the build.prop changes in bshouse's post seem to be working for me.

thanks a bunch, Patch :good::good::good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] GPFerror:
Yeah it is working great for me also with build.prop changes and PA GApps mini modular also

Thanks Patch :)

---------- Post added at 08:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:13 PM ----------

I haven't seen a 4.4 ROM with a fix for speaker phone echo yet, mute does not work in this version either, but I know the mute has been fixed in CM 11 and latest nightly PACROM so hopefully can be fixed in Liquid Smooth ROM soon :)

In the meantime I use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.zxq.mydigita.micmute to mute during conference calls, an extra step but worth it.

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Gil81:
You need to flash cwm recovery..( any close to new version ). Then you can flash twrp 2.7. I just flashed latest and greatest Liquid Smooth version with twrp 2.7 myself, so it will work. Remember to wipe data,cache,dalvik and system before flash ( I do it twice ). Then wipe cache and dalvik after install. Flash gapps ( I'm using PA modular ). Then one more wipe of cache and dalvik. Reboot...Enjoy
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Gil81:
Rom seems fast so far.But like all roms Ive ran since jumping over from the epic 4g touch forum. It has some issues...the theme engine intergration is incomplete. By this I mean it doesnt theme the quick pulldown notification shade for toggles. It also doesnt theme phone or mms..but I suspect that is a 4.4.3 issue with the theme itself.

Also has wake issue when first turning on device from sleep..not always,but its there.

Besides these issues ( which have been present in all roms besides an AOKP 4.4.2 rom I ran ) It is a very nice build

Thanks Patch for your continued hard work..I'm hoping I can start to contribute as my new pc is in the mail..yahaha

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] a.2mjed.a:
Hey Patch...this is an amazing ROM and we all appreciate your hard work for this device.

I have the annoying screen flicker and I did applied your Patch v2 and it's still flickering!!

It happens when I want to open the screen, incoming calls, pull the quick settings while watching a video, and sometime during play or browsing an app!!

Is there a way that can stop it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Gil81:
If you read back a page or two you will see where others have stated that pollutions aroma screen patch is not working or is not sticking on this particular build. But you can edit your build prop with the appropriate lines to stop the flickering. That is also a page or two back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CGRAHAM10:
You have to go into 'Developer Options' & turn off HW Overlays. You will have to do it after every reboot, The patch doesn't work.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jason531:
I have the same question. I could not find a way to move apps to SD, although the option does exist on a different 4.4.2 ROM I have been using.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zeddock:
Fixes ALWAYS are a plus.

I have no run this yet Patch but it sounds good. I am in need of a new dd and hope this is it!

I am considering a move to a s5 or nexus but hope to get another ROM out of the old Note if your updates make the tweaks stick.... I just can't afford the time to go in after every reboot.

The OC has been happening on some of the ROMs I have used so I figure I would vote for that. But your guess is better than mine, and most here are looking for a ROM to tweak and play with. My needs are a bit different now.

Thanx Patch.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Polluti0n:
Uber would be nice. If you use uber I know how to make it default to the Wheatley governor. PM me for details.

In next build if you included uber/wheatley and the changes to build.prop for disable HW overlay I think the build would be perfect. It would allow the end users to not have to tinker under the hood.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] patch_Adams:
AD set wheatley as default recently, If I used his repo. And I forgot, but uber will more than likely break art. I've got a build going now, well see if it finishes ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Gil81:
i would like to see OC myself..but would like to see the random reboot issue fixed. I get 4-5 a day..usually when playing a game or battery is low. If you need logs just ask and I'll pull whatever you need. I can run alog in the background to try and catch the random reboot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Polluti0n:
Oh ya. Your right, uber will for sure break art. Is PAC compatible with art?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Gil81:
Ive ran pac with ART..but you need to apply themes before switching over or it can and most likely loop. Anybody using Xposed will also need to apply it after ART, with a current backup..as I have seen problems with it running before the switch.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] patch_Adams:
I honestly can't fix things by reading the logs......lol...

I am not sure......I see there might be another kernel in the works...but we'll have to wait and see.....

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Wizkid:
Hi Patch, some other thread mentioned mute & speakerphone echo being fixed in 4.4.3 or newer build of cm11, forget which one is it? Can you please look into it for next build ....

By the way I am running 4.4.3 build with uber kernel & Wheatley governor. It is really smooth & have not had a single reboot since install, although had to remove battery once for screen flickering before I disable hardware overlays...

Truly appreciate your effort!! Thanks...

"Unfortunately, Liquid Explorer has stopped"

Again and again, and again.

Need I a reflash? Or a different explorer?

Thanx for the help!

Zeddock.

PS. Uber is smooth! Thanx Patch and Pollution!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rsfinsrq:
I use Root Explorer. Be sure and mount system as R/W to edit files within that folder. I believe the same is true for ES File Explorer. Not sure why Liquid Explorer is stopping. I would try another file explorer before I re-flash.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zeddock:
Getting closer!

Where do I go to Mount, please?

I have done it in cwm recovery, but I seem to recall there was somewhere in the settings that would allow.

Going through the options I do not readily see it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rsfinsrq:
Not in recovery. In the file explorer. The file explorer you use must have read/write permission. In Root Explorer there is a setting at the top of the list of files you are viewing "Mount as RW" which has to be selected if you want to edit any files. Default is RO which is read only. You must select read write to edit. Root Explorer is a paid app. ES File Explorer is free (I believe, I don't use ES or Liquid Explorer) and gives you RW access. Not sure where the setting is to grant RW access in those apps though I'm sure you can find them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zeddock:
Must be another issue. I did change it in a file manager app to r/w but it still complained it couldn't write changed file.

No worries. I am sure Patch is working on building those into a new version.

Thanx for trying to help!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Polluti0n:
Easiest way to edit build.prop would be to download a build.prop editor from the play store.

Flicker Fix

Alright you guys. I whipped up a flashable fix for the screen flicker issues. Will someone please test this out and post back with the results. I am running beanstalk right now and don't have time to switch to LS just to test this patch. I did however run the script on BS and it did amend changes to build.prop

Also, the reason my previous patch didn't work is because this build is missing a line in the build.prop. specifically this line "debug.composition.type".

TLDR: flicker fix need testers.

-Polluti0n

P.S. as always flash in recovery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] patch_Adams:
P...if you want to give me the whole build prop thing I'll build it right in. I was trying this but its not working??

debug.composition.type=gpu

persist.hwc.mdpcomp.enable=false

dev.pm.dyn_samplingrate=1

debug.sf.hw=0

Thanks for your help as usual!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Polluti0n:
Ya, I can for sure modify the build.prop and send it to ya. but I think we should wait until someone tries that patch to verify the amended values eliminate screen flicker.

debug.composition.type=gpu
persist.hwc.mdpcomp.enable=false
dev.pm.dyn_samplingrate=1

these are the changes I made with the patch. I used the sed command to remove all three of the entries (with any value) from build.prop. then echo to add the lines with correct values.

However I believe the value of this line should remain at 1.

debug.sf.hw=0

It is my understanding that debug.sf.hw is referring to "Debug SurfaceFlinger Hardware". By setting this to zero you would be disabling hardware compositing.

So anyways lets see if the script fixes the flicker issue, if it does I will make the appropriate changes to build.prop and send it to ya. I would just hate for you to have to build once again if the changes don't work.

EDIT: I just added this line to the patch, lets see if that helps.

dev.pm.dyn_samplingrate=1

-Polluti0n
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] GPFerror:
I ran the patch and it didn't update the build.prop file, I checked and by default busybox doesn't symlink mount so could be the reason?

I think it is related to busybox mount line, in the add_to_buildprop.sh script.

I extracted it, removed busybox and just left the rest of the mount command and ran it manually in terminal and it updated the build.prop file.

The change to the build.props does not set the Disable HW overlays checkbox under the Developer options.

BTW can you send me info on how you create a patch?

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Polluti0n:
Thanks so much for troubleshooting for me. It is difficult to diagnose issues when im not running the rom the patch is built for. I say a post above saying they couldn't understand the language you where talking lol. Well I understand that language and found the issue with the patch. I was using some of my old work as a template and linked to xbin/bash which is dated. I now have the patch running as a shell script to modify the build.prop.

Translation:

I think I fixed patch, but still need you guys to test and post back if flicker is gone. NO THERE WILL NOT BE A CHECKMARK IN DISABLE HW OVERLAYS. You will just have to use your phone and see if flicker is gone.

Please post back so we can see if changes made fix the flicker. If the flicker gets fixed we can change the build.prop to those values and Patch can build a copy that doesn't have flicker issues right out of the box.

-Polluti0n

P.S. GPFerror I will PM you about patches.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rsfinsrq:
So I manually changed the one build.prop entry "persist.hwc.mdpcomp.enable=true" to "persist.hwc.mdpcomp.enable=false" and haven't had a single flicker and performance is great. Are the other entries "debug.composition.type=gpu,

dev.pm.dyn_samplingrate=1, dev.pm.gpu_samplingrate=1" necessary?
