Email app (exchange) FC - 100% repeatable

I saw at least one person say that their email app was force closing - but it may have been the hacked security version.

EDIT2: I am NOT using the hacked email option.

I set up my work email last night on the phone and tapped out a lengthy email, only to have it force close on me before I sent it. I was able to duplicate the issue today by composing a test email (to myself), and then tapping in various places within the body of the email (as if I was placing the cursor to type some corrections). Actually it is 100% repeatable when you click in the body of the email, and then tap on the blue "arrow" that appears representing the insertion point in the text.

Does anyone know if there is a fix (or even a known issue) with the email app? Could the other "fixes" in the works solve this problem? This is one of those "dealbreaker" bugs for me. I need the email app to work!

Thanks team!

EDIT:

Here is the "background info" for my install if it helps:

I have the issues with the settings menu force closes (like everyone else).

Camera works fine

Air Command works (I switched to tabbed view in the settings and turned it on before I tried enabling anywhere else)

DeOdexed

Installed the AGNI Kernel

Did the custom install and installed (this was hours ago, so I might be fuzzy on the following details):

- NONE of the apps list that included Amazon Kindle (I think this was the Galaxy Plus list).

- None of the Samsung Apps list

- All of the Google Apps

Completely clean install (including an internal storage wipe with external SD card removed the prevent and chance of accidental formatting)

Flashed using LATEST version of Philz - I couldn't get the ROM to flash at ALL until I upgraded to the latest philz recovery (was using a version that was a couple of revs old). I was also unsuccessful with the latest CWMR (Touch), and couldn't get the current TWRP recovery to flash.

No dirty flashes after the intial flash.

I must have missed them. Where are these fonts? I had no fonts folder and had to copy over my fonts from my ext. card...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Under settings/display/fonts.. just like stock but there are a BUNCH added
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Thumprxl:
This rom is packed... fonts, ringtones and all kinds of customizations!!! :) :) :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flametai1:
What did you do to get the Camera working? I have reflashed and reflashed and reflashed to no luck at all guys... Really would like some help.... =/

If I flash using AGNI kernel, the Camera doesn't work but Air Command does!

If I flash using Stock kernel, the Camera works, but Air Command does not! Like seriously! I've been trying since I got home from work reflashing over and over to get it working with no luck 2 days in a row now! I got out of work at 7am and it's 10am here now, still no luck.

Is there a quicker way to get ahold of you L18 or Deckoz so that we can actually talk and see what's going on here??? Such as Skype or yahoo or something?

Who knows, maybe Samsung has 2 different hardware camera types for our phones?

Thumprxl what exact version of what exact recovery are you using???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cbrinnny:
Since we all are getting different results, have you tried doing both odexed and deodexed? Just suggesting to try that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] normalsalad:
Flashed twice and everything is working perfectly for me with 2 (small) exceptions.

1. The camera is working fine, but after switching to SD for storage, I'm receiving an error stating "Unable to save file to SD card..." and it reverts back to internal storage.

2. Here's the weird one...when attempting to copy/paste text from my exchange email into my 'signature' option for that account, Email quits. That one's no big deal.

I'm using the AGNI Kernel, clean flashed once (dirty flashed again to get Air Command), and going Odexed.

Having said all that...this version was DEFINITELY worth the wait. Great work Deck et al.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Make sure you are wiping internal sd than I also format it.. start fresh don't change options in apps selection..make sure air cmd is turned on as well
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flametai1:
Have tried that about 5 times now. I've followed the OP instructions to an exact replica haha. Build 1 flashed perfect for me once by following the OP but this build 2 if I follow OP the Camera gives me a failed message.

L18 might I ask you what exact recovery you're using?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] spiff72:
normalsalad:

Just curious:

Can you try to duplicate the following in your email app? I am curious whether you can replicate this force close:

Compose a test email (to yourself or whomever), and then tap in various places within the body of the email (as if placing the cursor to type some corrections). Actually it is 100% repeatable when you click in the body of the email, and then tap on the blue "arrow" that appears representing the insertion point in the text.

Just wondering if I go back and re-flash if I might get different results!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] viper31573:
I've been seeding for 2 days now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sting5566:
I just dirty flashed but this time I flashed the odexed version.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] normalsalad:
Yep, you're exactly right...I got the same FC when I tap on the blue cursor. Good call. I just assumed it had something to do with the copy/paste functionality.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
I use twrp latest 2.6.3.2.. i think that's the number.. i wiped everything including formating internal..deodex.. rebooted no air cmd.. reflashed wiping data.. sir cmd and camera works fine..

I might have another option for you.. If you want to try..PM me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Pull a log guys
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] izzycade:
I saw this post and have not looked forward to see if the issue has been corrected for you or not, however; I have had this issue with Philz. The way I got the ROM to install was to wipe/cache/dalvic three times and then restart recovery. The ROM then installs with no issues. Hopefully this helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] spiff72:
Log pulled. Do we just upload it as a TXT file?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] khanam:
Guys, anyone know how to disable call record? I can't figure it out anywhere in settings
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Call recording is not enabled by default..settings are in rom control under phone
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chubbrock:
Anyone getting random reboots? Did a clean install, deodexed, agni kernel, full install
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Guys stock email or hacked version..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Thumprxl:
I'm using TWRP 2.6.3.2

---------- Post added at 11:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:07 AM ----------

I'm also using the de-odexed version as well if that helps anyone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] spiff72:
Mine was the stock email.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] khanam:
Actually just went to rom control, there is no setting to not have call recording at all. I can't swap calls at all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Yes you can.. lol I didn't know that's what you meant. Hit menu hard key when in call screen..There is an option
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shellie03:
That's odd my email is just fine. I used the stock kernel and deoxed option.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] spiff72:
Just curious: did you try the instructions I posted a few posts back on how to duplicate the FC? (Tap the blue text selection arrow while composing an email)?

I am on the AGNI kernel. Maybe that is the difference?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WhiteEVO:
I use hacked and it works fine
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shellie03:
Yes I did tap the blue selection even edited a message. Worked fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pgzerwer:
I've not run any statistical analysis, but just based on casual reading one of two things seem to be occurring: 1 - either lots more people are choosing AGNI kernel instead of stock or 2 - more people with AGNI kernel are reporting issues. FWIW
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] puritan007:
email fc

I too cannot copy paste or click the blue tag in emails without force close. I tried both hacke and stock exchange made no difference. here is my log

https://www.dropbox.com/s/pjvghfutwf8jyiv/logcat_and_device_info.zip?n=172117639

I am on deodex with stock kernel I have working camera and working air command.

it might be noted that I installed this about 10 different ways. When i did dirty flash over version 1 the only thing that didnt work was email, fc on boot...

I have tried odex, deodex, each kernel, I have clean installed several times with different settings. Still had this issue on email each thing I tried. copy something from browser, past to email fc... I spent all day yesterday flashing, trying stuff re flashing. Its my days off, and I am dedicated/obsessed? lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flametai1:
I can confirm that this is also happening for me.

This problem is happening with me as well. I will pull a log in a bit and post. I am using non hacked email app. AGNi kernel.

Has anyone had this happen in any other apps??? Such as SMS?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shellie03:
I just tried to copy and paste and it did force close. I can edit fine. I probably misunderstood what you meant sorry.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] puritan007:
yeah

Yes I use these functions a lot, it only happens in email.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WhiteEVO:
Whoops! Just tried to sen myself a test message using the hacked email, it force closes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Thumprxl:
Just checked...both Gmail from the app and my hotmail also from the email app worked. Sent and received flawlessly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] puritan007:
um..

its not sending and receiving that is broken only copy paste/ clicking little edit arrow. Im using it just fine to check ,delete, send emails...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Thumprxl:
Oh ok...well just checked the blue arrow. It's working...the copy paste causes a fc. Strange huh?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flametai1:
Pretty sure I found a typo in the settings menu guys, when you click to change between asop and note 2 lockscreens it displays note 3 as the selected one if you select note 2 lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WhiteEVO:
L18, I just tried to send myself a test message with the hacked email, it force closes, sorry for the bad info previously.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Thumprxl:
Just to add I'm using the unhacked version of email.

Anybody been able to save a screen shot using power/home buttons? Palm swipe doesn't work either. I can using air command tho.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flametai1:
I can't get the fully charged notification to go away even though there is an option to hide it, is this happening for other people too? I also noticed clean notify doesn't show it so you can't use that either...

---------- Post added at 12:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:48 PM ----------

I am able to do it using all of them, it says in notification that it failed but it's the same bug as in build 1 where it says it failed but if you check your gallery it actually did save.

Palm swipe works for me although the notice says it didn't save despite the fact that actually did

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaPitt84:
When will the zip file be up? Noticed it's only the torrent still.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bgstyle:
Love this ROM, especially once I was able to use the Nephillm theme. Can you not use xposed installer on this Rom, each time I have installed it once I reboot it is gone. Also, no luck on Air Command using both stock and Agni kernals.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] larry_thagr81:
Yes sir, and the music controls worked for poweramp. So after deleting poweramp, wiping dalvik and cache, the music controls started working for Google Music. So I reinstalled poweramp and the music controls reverted back to controlling poweramp only. So I just went ahead and uninstalled poweramp for the time being.

Also adjusting the music volume no longer functions with the screen off while the music controls are enabled. Is that normal?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Thumprxl:
Here's the message I get trying to screen shot with the power/home buttons.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] may0799:
Awesome Rom! Thanks to everyone who worked to make this happen. I dirty flashed over V1.5 and selected Stock Kernel, Full install and DeOdexed. Wiped cashe and dalvik in Aroma. Have not had any problems other than the Email FC when you touch the blue arrow.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Thumprxl:
Also, camera isn't working during phone calls. I tried enabling it in wanam a few times.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RemnantKing2:
I am pretty sure Deck said that that was something he had to fix and that in fact it did save the screen shot but still comes up with that message,
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cyberma007:
I installed the new release two time after wipe of Data and everything else using philz and rom comes up, but keeps rebooting and also sensor for phone did not work, to turn off the screen while on call.

I do have the latest phone firmware installed as well.

Any idea?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Thumprxl:
I checked after many tries...nothing ever got saved. Had an idea as I was writing this response. I took the phone off the charger, did the screen save, got the error message and there the pic was in the gallery. Problem is in the usb being connected while doing it. Deck?? Whatcha think?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
No man its still does it with and without it being connected..

To get rid of the message go into display/edit screen shot after..check it.. no more message
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Goody68:
After a few clean flashes, everything is working perfect! Great job Team N3bula:thumbup: [MENTION=2564710]fkfmfz[/MENTION] Love the black theme, worked perfectly the first flash!

Few bugs I came across were:

1. Known camera issue

2. When hit phone button to dial, it said contacts appear to be not working FC

3. First 2 flashes, random reboot at first on set up.

After a few clean flashes all issues went away and everything is flawless at this point:D

My md5 doesn't match the dl from the torrent. Sorry if this has been addressed. I'm chicken to install it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] puritan007:
page 257

Yeah clear back on page 257 there was some conversation. The MD5 was apparently for the torrent file.. but the actual rom md5 is.. um i have to copy paste. 39dcfc012f61134f48fcdd6025f9e9c7 <--- ROM MD5....

MD5 for the .torrent file from the downloads tab is 642f9a1610e0b164556a5398ef9c6c66

MD5 for the actual ROM install .zip is 39dcfc012f61134f48fcdd6025f9e9c7 (Which you can find in the downloads tab.)

email

I know it isn't "right" or whatever, but I fixed my email. I went to this forum, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2531268&page=8

and half way down there is an email and exchange APK. I froze the ones I had installed, and installed these. They are from KITKAT 4.4.2 or something, and look pretty sweet IMO. I am sure a proper fix will be out sometime, but for me this makes my phone 100% useable again ;) I do not go into those settings that are FC ever anyway, so cheers. LOVE THIS ROM. ;)

Which torchlight? We have included 2. The stock long press volume up torch, and the lockscreen long press on home torch. If your using music controls they will conflict. which is why we included Lockscreen torch. Apparently I broke the stock screen off volume up one however lol... :P

and Not sure about zip updates. Never tried it, as people were having issues. Which is why the OP states the Odin Method....

yes im done 100%. I will be the other seeder at 100%. Im can only seed at about 700kbps but it will help.

btw what is the md5 for the ginerhouse download? it seems that the ginger house is 1.34gb and the torrent is 1.35gb.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] barcodelinux:
First thing I would check the is if the cable is good.

Second thing is to make sure that you are in the right "download mode". Some recoveries or reboot menus will put you into something that says "Download Mode" but isn't. (See below)

Pull the battery, press Vol down, the Home button, and the Power button at the same time until you see the Samsung logo. If everything goes right, you should get a warning screen telling you to press Vol up to booting into Download Mode or Power to cancel. Press the Vol up button and you should see the real Download Mode. (see below)

Hope this helps.
