New Build Up... :D

Several major changes going on here...

1) You MUST be running a JB modem on this build. The installer checks, and if you don't have UCMD3 (or equivalent) it will fail.

2) the Speakerphone Mute bug has been FIXED.

3) You MAY have problems with wallpaper. If you do, you'll have to check "disable hardware overlays" in Developer Options.

(I thought this one had been nailed down a long time ago, and I never had any problems with it until this build.)

----------

4) Apparently it's not possible to upload ANYTHING from a public wifi hotspot. Therefore, I'm having to switch to Google Docs (for the time being) for uploads, since from now on I will only rarely have access to anything that's NOT public wifi. If this changes, I'll let you know.

-blaine
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] :
Where can I flash the JB modem? My device is an N7005 variant.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] edamigo:
Just installed this ROM.

Wallpaper was blinking (disappearing) every couple seconds. Same for Firefox. "Disable hardware overlays" fixed problem.

Hardware overlays were fixed for our device relatively long time ago but reappear in this build.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Frankenbiker:
Something else is up.

I cannot write changes to build.prop, and making those changes to local.prop are not acknowledged, either.

Nor are they acknowledged in default.prop, located in the home directory.

-blaine
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Frankenbiker:
Hmmmm.... Here's a hack workaround:

1) Enable root access for both apps AND ADB.

2) Use a Play Store app to manually mount system as R/W.

3) make changes in a text editor.

Two build.prop editors refuse to work, even with this hack.

-blaine
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] adriandday:
Certainly better than the previous build. 1 full day and the only issue I've noticed, aside from the HW overlay, is that despite my governor set to ondemand, I still sometimes get the blank screen when waking.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] GPFerror:
What props do you usually change? I am just curious :) , anyone have good faq on build.props for our phone?

Thanks,

Troy

---------- Post added at 08:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:14 AM ----------

I haven't seen a blank screen waking yet, with ondemand. I had to disable the HW overlay, I am testing it with art today and so far no problems. Look forward to testing the speakerphone mute fix, as I have a conference call today :)

Troy
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Frankenbiker:
Build.prop files are ALMOST (but not quite) useless as MOST of the values are expressed elsewhere in the code.

MOST build.prop file mods you see are dated from the Gingerbread days, and are pretty much useless in CM11.

lpa.decode=false

lpa.use-stagefright=false

ro.ril.def.agps.mode=1

debug.composition.type=gpu

persist.hwc.mdpcomp.enable=false

dev.pm.dyn_samplingrate=1

ro.sf.lcd_density=360

The stagefright values enable immediate MP3 playback without having to kill your player.

The GPS value forces all GPS computation to occur on-device.

The next three are SUPPOSED to do the same thing as disabling hardware overlays.

The last one makes the type big enough to see.

-blaine
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] edamigo:
Firefox will do it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Frankenbiker:
So will Dolphin, if you figure it out.... #banghead

Apparently some of the underhood changes in CM11 may have taken away long-press to paste, and have replaced it with a button (that in Dolphin, has no visual similarity to anything connected with "paste")...

New build up.

-blaine
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gathithow:
I can't wait to see this build in action. Downloading right now and flash feedback tomorrow.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AdShea:
The hardware overlay issue seems to still be there, does anyone know which commit caused it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Frankenbiker:
Don't know about the commit(s), but I did discover a better workaround than what I posted earlier.

Seems that CM's built-in file manager, when in "elevated privileges" mode, will edit the build.prop file with the built-in editor. And the above referenced lines added in will "fix" the problem.

-blaine
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gathithow:
The rom is very fast, the only bug i can see is the desktop turns black with any wallpaper.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] adriandday:
I believe this is the Hardware Overlay issue Blaine was referring to. When you have a workaround for it, the wallpaper works again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] :
Is there any way to remove the Jellybean radio restriction? I am unable to install the newer builds on my N7005.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gathithow:
Yeah I did that. I had to disable "hardware overlays" on developer options menu to fix the black background, now I can choose the walpaper I want. The bug is fixed by now. Thank u.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CGRAHAM10:
I had the same problem. Just use the jb radio when you install the rom and reinstall an older one afterward.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] :
How do I install the JB radio?

Edit: Trying to download http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyNote/stockROMs/JB/rooted now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CGRAHAM10:
JB Radio

Do a search for UCMB3 in .zip format d download it. Then boot into recovery and install it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] :
Where can I find this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jlpatte2:
Is the latest here 4.4.3 or 4.4.2?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] adriandday:
4.4.2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] edamigo:
Original suggestion had typing mistake. AT&T released 2 modems for I717 JB. I uploaded them. Latest one is UCMD3. This is the modem I am using.

UCMB4 (JB AT&T original): https://shared.com/psny9r8tez?s=l

UCMD3 (JB AT&T update): https://shared.com/6sfvvgdzfe?s=l
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Frankenbiker:
UCMB4 is the ICS modem and won't work on these new builds.

I found this out the hard way. MB4 always had better performance on my phone than did MD3.

-blaine
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] :
You can use FX File Explorer to add build.prop settings!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gathithow:
i hope than the new build can fix this bug. Someone can explain me the estructure of this bug, it comes from the cyanogenmod source code?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Frankenbiker:
New build in the build process as we speak. Change level: OMG!!

Update to 4.4.4 is the big news. Also of note is that the build process removed the existing build.prop file that we've been using for months. I don't know yet if it's been replaced, or all together removed.

Bunches of other stuff, too.

--------------

Edit: OOOORRR..... maybe not. Unrecoverable build errors that I can't fix... :(

-blaine
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jman315:
That's a bummer. I was looking forward to trying a new CM build.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Frankenbiker:
As was I. Mine has been having some rather annoying problems lately, although they may be entirely related to last week's Facebook "update."

The build problems were related to OpenSSL, which has had some significant activity in the last week. I suspect that they'll be fixed in a couple of days.

-blaine
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Frankenbiker:
Well, The Good News is that I got a build to finish on the 22nd.

The Bad News is that 4.4.4, so far, SUCKS.

Make no doubt about it, it removes any possible pretense that you own your phone. Once this is installed, your phone belongs to Google, who may or may not graciously (or not) allow you to use it.

New bloatware.... er... GAPPS package. A WHOPPING 150 MB download. Every possible "Google Play <format>" app is included, and some of these CANNOT be uninstalled. MAPS cannot be downgraded. This crap is every bit as bad as AT&T was on the original GB/ICS install on these phones.

Most of the settings for customizing the layout of Trebuchet have either been moved or gotten rid of all together.

I actually had to go back to the CyanogenMod blog page to read about how to do ANYTHING, which I don't usually have to do.

I'm almost embarrassed to post this....

-blaine
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AdShea:
Are all the Gapps interdependent? Is it still possible to remove them through recovery? Not saying I like the all-or-nothing approach, but it'd be nice to have Google's apps not choke and die when I tighen up my SELinux settings.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Frankenbiker:
The ones I tried to remove, I tried with both ROM Toolbox, and the built-in Apps manager. Neither one would get rid of MAPS. Play Games also would not remove. Some would need one way, others would need the other. It was VERY frustrating.

(removal through recovery???)

-blaine
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jman315:
How about trying the micro package from this thread...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2397942
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AdShea:
You can mount the /data and /system partitions through recovery and remove apps without the protections of the standard kernel (I ususally use adb) similar to sideloading apps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] GPFerror:
I used the mini package from that thread, and enabled art successfully and added the build.prop suggestions earlier in this thread. So far so good, installing the rest of my apps now.

Thanks,

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Frankenbiker:
After going back in and starting from scratch, mine seems a little better...

No, patience is not one of my virtues... ;)

-blaine
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jman315:
Did a clean install with the micro apps and so far it seems about the same as the previous build.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] xda1zero:
Hi guys, I've created a very micro 15 mb zip of gapps that provides google play store, and contacts/calendar sync. there is zero bloat. All google apps(gmail, maps etc..) work, they just need to be downloaded from the store. I would have uploaded the flashable zip but I added some extra CM tweaks into it, so instead I'll just explain what I did for gapps:

all you need to do:

1. download a copy of gapps(the 4.4.2 version works on 4.4.4) and extract all files into a directory on your phone(gonna use some files from this in step 3)

2. install 4.4.2+ CM and reboot

3 copy the following specific files that you had extracted to the following locations:

to \system\app

GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk

GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk

to \system\priv-app

GMsCore.apk

GoogleLoginService

GoofleServiceFramework.apk

Phonesky.apk

3. Fix their permissions and done. -rw-r--r--

Oh might be premature to ask- but how is stability for kit kat(and 4.4.4) now, reboots occurring still? thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] adriandday:
I'm sitting at about 36 hours with 1 reset. About the same as before for my phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Frankenbiker:
I'm getting at least one reboot per day, but I'm not convinced it's not my bluetooth headset refusing to play nicely... (fully half of them occur when hanging up a phone call when the headset is connected.)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Frankenbiker:
Dead Laptop

Much as I hate to leave y'all hanging with such a lousy excuse (IMHO) for a build, I have to....

The power supply for my laptop died not long after I uploaded the last build. Until I can get another, I'm not going to be able to do any builds.

-blaine
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jman315:
That's a bummer. Ironically I have been thinking about trying to build CM 11 for some time. I've setup a Ubuntu box and configured the build environment. Tonight I was able to build CM 10.2 based on JamieD's guide. However, when I tried the same steps for CM11 it would start to build but fail shortly after. I think the local manifest needs to be changed, but if you are willing to provide any tips or suggestions, I'm hoping to create a new build every now and then to keep my note current.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] GPFerror:
Same thing happened to my laptop that I was doing rom builds on, but your last version is still running well for me!

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jman315:
Good thing I'm building the source on a desktop :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] patch_Adams:
I'm happy to throw builds together for you if you want ....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jman315:
That would be awesome. I was able to create a CM 10.2 build successfully based on JamieD's guide, but CM11 fails with the error..

*** No rule to make target out/target/product/quincyatt/obj/lib/libaudioalsa.so' needed by `out/target/product/quincyatt/obj/SHARED_LIBRARIES/audio.primary.msm8660_intermediates/LINKED/audio.primary.msm8660.so'. Stop.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] patch_Adams:
Yeah ya have to just work through the error sometimes. I haven't been building much but I'll see if I can get something cooking.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Frankenbiker:
On the last page or two of JamieD's build guide, I posted the local_manifest file I used to build the first "hybrid" builds.

CM's sync script over-wrote that file with a pure CM device-specific manifest that I now use.

You might try going that route.

Note that some of the changes they make in the nightlies code branch will make a build fail. That's what nightlies are for. Wait a day or two and try again, and it will probably work.

-blaine
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jman315:
Thanks I'll check it out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Frankenbiker:
New build up, thanks to Patch.

MUCH better than my last one.

Wallpaper malfunction is gone, eliminating the need to edit build.prop for that particular problem. (I still edited it for other reasons, though)

-blaine
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jman315:
I've also built a CM11 (kk 4.4.4) ROM. I forked the kernel and bluetooth fixes from BlownFuze into this. I've run this for the past day with no reboots or major issues, but it goes without saying that I'm not responsible for what happens with your device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] edamigo:
I also feel that this build is much better. I still had need to disable hardware overlay though (otherwise wallpaper and some apps blinking occur).

With this build Slacker finally works over bluetooth. For a long time it did not work in this combination while other apps were just fine. I did not check if it is ROM alone, Slacker update or both.

Trebuchet finally have custom size grid. Settings for Trebuchet were moved. To access them press capacitive setting button (left) and click three dots arranged in triangle fashion. I will play with trebuchet settings later.

Update: this build is really good. In a week I only rebooted phone manually once after bluetooth error. I selected "no wallpaper" in Trebuchet and used phone without disabling hardware overlay.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] GPFerror:
Thanks, I love being able to overclock and the Force Fast Charge. I don't use bluetooth so can't test that but I dirty flashed it over the last CM11 and it is running great.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jman315:
Good to hear. I did find that the camera isn't working, at least on my device. I'm throwing together another build to hopefully resolve that and fix the bluetooth AVRCP issue that I've run into with all the CM11 builds.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jlpatte2:
What was involved in sucking in the Bluetooth fixes? I was thinking of trying to build Beanstalk but adding the bluetooth fixes since I'm heavily dependent on Bluetooth and have been using BF's AOKP with fixed Bluetooth pretty exclusively for a while due to that.

I talked with BF, and it sounded really involved, but your comment made it sound like it was mostly a mater of pulling in his git patches or the like.

Yeah just tried the camera and didn't work either, I did install the Polluti0ns_rom_patch_v2.zip camera fix from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2741733 and now it is working till you get the next version out.

Nothing you did wrong. You can flash the patch listed a few posts above to resolve the issue. In the meantime, I've been working on a new build to resolve this and a few other issues I've run into this this ROM.

Hi all,

Access to my alarm through cLock doesn't work anymore. Any suggestions?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gathithow:
The new build works very well for me. I had a few reboots when I have too much apps open and running in background.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Frankenbiker:
Adrian, try clearing the data for the app in Settings/apps...

Anyone else having problems with the last series of ROMs forgetting password data?

Every reboot is forgetting my house WiFi password. Every cell tower transition, especially involving LTE to HSPA is forgetting my voicemail password (but ONLY my VM password).

Wondering if it's a ROM issue or a phone-nearing-hardware-death issue...

-blaine
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] edamigo:
It does not feel right. Especially when it happens on cell tower transition. I am using your latest build and did not experienced that.

WiFi works for me. It remembers all passwords just fine. You may check if your password was actually stored in /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf when you set it. I use ES File Explorer (internal ES Note Editor) but other root explorers (editors) will do the same.

I do not use voicemail so can not comment on it.

You may also check that /, /system are mounted as read-only. May be you played with some rights and forget to put it back. Again I used ES File Explorer but others can do the same. I would also try to re-flash ROM and clear cache. It certainly feels like bad flash.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] adriandday:
Thanks for the input Blaine. No luck.

I'm not having any of the issues you mentioned, but I am having a few fishy things. Can't install Dolphin, Swiftkey no longer predicts, cLock alarm not working.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jlpatte2:
I have started seeing this kind of behavior on a totally different Rom...I'm worried it is impending internal flash failure as blocks start going bad or something...

Going to try copying everything off and do some kind of total flash erase and reformat with bad block detect

If you figure anything out let me know. Fit info sake my phone is from April 2012 and I have probably flashed 2 a month for the last year.

Josh

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] xda1zero:
I think you're right, but you may not have many options. I couldn't install the latest TWRP, after some investigation the reason was due to the amount of bad sectors wherever the recovery image gets written to. After trying some workarounds I finally forced it to write- but functionality was messed up, entering some screens in twrp would cause the phone to reboot, also issues with the backup/restore.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Frankenbiker:
New build up.

I haven't tested this one, but so far, if it finishes the build, it works.

I'm going WAAAAAAY back to "factory" JB to see if some of these nagging issues can be repeated; if so, it's a hardware problem.... If not, It's a CM problem. (at least in theory.)

-blaine
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] edamigo:
I am am using this build for 5 days. It mostly works fine for me. I had just one reboot using google maps in navigation mode. I did not see any other problems yet.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jman315:
New build is up. I had to revert back to the CM kernel to get it to compile. Bluetooth seems pretty reliable, but the metadata still doesn't update properly.
