Attention dev!

So I am not sure if you remember be but I tried your ROM back when it was first posted and had an issue with my phone freezing up during long periods of non use. I flashed it last night and the same issue is still occurring. What would you like me to send you as far as data collection? I wiped everything... even data, I am on the devil kernel and using TWRP rec, I came from PAC rom and everything seemed to have gone smooth after flashing with the exception of one shutdown / reboot that occurred about 20mins after flashing. Let me know what you want me to do.

Thanks

UPDATE: So I have had cat log running all morning and it appears to keep it from locking up. I guess as long as it has some sort of major task running it won't crash... at least it seems that way.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] EdKeys:
Nope, not pulled, just a broken link. I fixed it in the OP.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] EdKeys:
I don't have any way of testing screen mirroring. Hoping someone else can jump in. You might want to post a question about this in the Q&A section.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] EdKeys:
I answered your PM. If what I suggested works, post back here with the results.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] moabizzi:
Just flashed everything, sim card isnt being recognized, help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] EdKeys:
What recovery did you use?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] moabizzi:
Cwm, went back to tweaked for now. Should I flash twrp? Don't see how that effects my sim
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] EdKeys:
No, cwm is fine if it's the latest version. Some including myself have had a few issues flashing the rom with twrp.

tap to wake

Hi, does this kernel have the tap to wake feature or double tap to wake?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] EdKeys:
Yes devil kernel edition has touchwake.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lilshortwun:
Any fix for the camera yet? Im on edition 2d with 4.3 bootloader and mk7 modem. Tried everything in this thread. Nothing worked
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] EdKeys:
What recovery did you use to flash the rom?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lilshortwun:
cwm. backed up and restored on f2fs
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] EdKeys:
Try this. Download this zip file and inside is a backup of a fresh install of 2d. I'm assuming you have the beta devil recovery right now if you are on f2fs. After you download, unzip to your ext sdcard and put in the clockworkmod folder as per the OP.

Reboot to devil recovery and do only this if you want to keep your data.

-format system to f2fs

-format cache to f2fs

-go to the advanced tab and wipe dalvik

-do a

system restore only

with the non-flashable backup from the above link using the upgrade instructions from the OP. They're toward the bottom.

Hope this works for you. Sorry about the issue. I just can't reproduce it on my phone. My 2 camera apps have always worked. One user that had an issue with the camera said that it only went away after wiping the dalvik cache with CWM before flashing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lilshortwun:
no luck with that method either
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] EdKeys:
check out post 207
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lilshortwun:
I tried that many times and camera never works after flashing. I also tried flashing edition 2S and 2.3.2 kernel on top of it as another user suggested. Cameras worked using that method but I was unable to restore onto f2fs
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lilshortwun:
I finally got it working for those with the camera failed issue.

1) Flash Edition 2S

2) Reboot and test camera

3) Flash edition 2D

4) Reboot and test camera

5) Flash any additional addons (SuperSU, Kernel (I used 3.0.999), Kernel Script)

6) Reboot and enjoy

problems

exactly which boot loader should i be on and does anyone have a link to share because im on T889UVUCMK7 and i thought that was the right one but i keep reading out the issues im have with this rom and it seems to be about the bootloader... i have to literally check my phone ever 10 minutes to make sure its not off or frozen. any help? also, i did not flash the wifi patch ever. unless pmtr's jedi roms come with it somehow. and ive tried both formats of the 2ds rom
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] garra1225:
Can you please send a valid download link to the 4.1.2 bootloader that you used please. That would help me so much. Thank you

Sorry I didn't see your last post. I usually try to respond right away.

You should install this app first to see what bootloader you have first.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo

If you're on the MK7 bootloader I don't think you can revert back. Not positive so do your research first. Reading your last post, if you are having issues with both the S and D versions then something isn't right. I could understand with D/devil kernel since some can't seem to run it on their Note 2. But the S/stock kernel edition should run without issue. Be sure with CWM you format everything including the internal sd card before flashing. Go to the mounts and storage section of CWM to do that. Do a factory reset too and also go to advanced and wipe dalvik. Have all your files on ext sdcard. After flashing and booting up the first time, log in to your Gmail account and let all the apps download from the play store while you do something else. When finished, don't restore from backup any system apps, duplicate apps or any data. Just restore missing apps if you do restore from backup.

Hope all this helps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] garra1225:
Thanks. It did. And it is possible I did it before but it was actually on accident. And when I said both formats I meant f2fs and ext4. But I went back to stock MK7 and re rooted and realized that i think i messed up in the rooting process. Because now I'm running 2d smoothly. But i do have a question. Being on MK7 if i decided to test out a 4.4 kit kat ROM is there some special process to it or is it just like flashing any other rom. And again thanks so much for taking the time out to answer a noobs questions. Lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] EdKeys:
Anyone that is running with their partitions formatted to F2FS and took my advice in the OP to set their scheduler to fiops should download and install this Xposed module, select to disable DVFS, activate it in the modules section of Xposed and then reboot. You'll be glad you did!

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ma.wanam.dvfs

Probably a good idea for everyone else to give it a try and see how it works out with their particular setup.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] EdKeys:
Should be just like flashing any other rom. Like always wipe everything before flashing so you get a good clean install. Always have a good backup ready, and backup your backup to your computer in case you accidently delete it or get errors on your sd card. You should be able to go back and forth between android versions without issue that way.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] EdKeys:
OP updated regarding F2FS, Fiops scheduler and disabling DVFS.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] garra1225:
Spoke too soon... now I'm on the 4.1.2 official bootloader... but same problems are occurring as before with the 4.3 official bootloader. But I've noticed ever time it does it my phone is a bit hot
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] EdKeys:
Are you running version D with f2fs or ext4?

Have you made any changes to the kernel with devil tools, like oc'ing?

Also, what xposed modules have you installed and used?

In the meantime, download and install rom manager from the market and run a fix permissions with it, then reboot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] garra1225:
Im running d with f2fs. But id there a way to check so ik if I did it right?. I made no changes to the kernel other then the enabling master sequence as stated in the op. But I have tried oc'ing and uc'ing.. same results. The only exposed.module I have enabled.is dvfs disabler

Governor is performance... scheduler is fiops
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] EdKeys:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cls.partition

Install that app to check your partition formats. Also use the fsck tool for f2fs with SManager from the market to check file system consistecy.

Always a good idea to wipe dalvik and format cache partition to f2fs ever so often.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] garra1225:
I dont see where it shows which format im using but my system is 97% full is that normal?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] EdKeys:
Normal. Mine shows the same 97%. Use the pull down menu at the top to show the type of format of your partitions.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] garra1225:
My efs and tombstone says ext4 averything else says f2fs
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] EdKeys:
Only mmcblk0p12 - cache, mmcblk0p13 - system and mmcblk0p16 - data should show as formatted to f2fs.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] EdKeys:
I disabled the startup and shutdown sound files in the ROM but if after installing Wanam mod for Xposed your startup and shutdown sounds mysteriously start playing again navigate to /system/media/audio/ui with a root file explorer and delete or rename these 2 .ogg files.

PowerOn.ogg - delete or rename to PowerOn.ogg.bak

PowerOff.ogg - delete or rename to PowerOff.ogg.bak

For some reason Wanam mod makes changes to them.

Hey bud do u have a fix for stock wifi tether? Im supposed to get 200mb free with my plan but it wont let me use it at all says I need to upgrade. Came from jedi rom and it worked fine even going over my 200mb.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sabresfan:
Great rom. The f2fs file system is fast.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] JONGAR1357:
My Wi-Fi is not turning on, anyone having this issue?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] EdKeys:
Just the stock wifi tethering is included. I don't have tethering on my plan as I don't need it but it should function just like stock.

You either need to use the devil kernel, update your bootloader to 4.3 or odin the wifi patched bootloader.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] EdKeys:
I'm not upgrading to Sammy 4.4.2 when it drops until I have everything in place to do it as F2FS. Can't go back to EXT4 now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] qipengart:
Loving this ROM quite a bit. Smooth as a race car and very fast for a TouchWiz based ROM (didn't use Apex launcher).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] James62370:
Just got my hands on the Samsung Gear 2. I am using this Rom with the latest Devil Kernel. Unfortunately I'm not able to pair the watch, has anyone successfully paired either the the first gear, or the gear 2 with this Rom? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am still on the 4.1.2 bootloader, and don't really want to upgrade just to get this Smartwatch to work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] EdKeys:
I agree with you on not upgrading the bootloader. If you find out that the paring fialure is because of the debloating I did to the rom, I have no problem putting a flashable zip together with the missing apps/files needed to get it to pair if given some direction. I don't have a Samsung gear to test with. I initially had an optional 'add Samsung account' to flash that would bring up the Samsung account wizard and allow you to log in to Samsung but it didn't contain all the apps/files necessary to restore from Samsung's server and sync all of Samsung's apps so I pulled it. It might be enough to get you to pair with the Gear however if you want to try it. Make a nandroid first so you can go back in case it doesn't work for you.

http://www.mediafire.com/download/3rnadap36ghop6m/AddSamsungAccount.zip
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] James62370:
I appreciate the quick reply. I restored my Samsung Account from Titanium Backup. I also restored the Samsung Apps program and download the gear manager app. A bunch of auto updates took place after and then I rebooted my device. Unfortunately still not pairing.

I have the original AddSamsungAccount.zip and just downloaded the one you posted. They both appear to be the same size. Any difference between the current and your previous version? I guess it wouldn't hurt to make a nandroid backup and flash it, I'm not sure what else to try. If I use the stock kernel I would have to flash that wi-fi patch, and as you stated, it caused all sorts of freezes and SOD's on my device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] EdKeys:
There shouldn't be a difference, and if you got a bunch of auto updates then that's a good sign. Did you do a factory reset on the Gear? It may have some old pairing info stored on it that's causing a problem. I don't think it's the bootloader, but who knows with Samsung! It could be some other files I removed from the rom when I put it together. I did take a lot of Samsung apps out. Tonight at work I'll try to research what apps are required and see if that's what it is but if you get it working before that, let me know.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] James62370:
Again I do appreciate the response and support. I'm unable to do a factory reset on the Gear 2 since I cannot get to the settings menu, stuck at the initial pairing stage. I don't know of any key sequences to do a reset, not sure if this can be done since it only has one home button.

According to the instructions, after downloading and running the Gear Manager App from the Samsung App store I should be able to connect, but when I open the app, all I get is the following message:

"Unable to connect to the Gear. Connecting to the Gear is not supported by your mobile device, or your software needs to be updated. Check that your mobile device is able to connect to the Gear, then update your mobile device software".

I also hope it's not the bootloader... doing a nandroid before I start anymore experimenting. I'll let you know if I get it working. Thanks again!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] EdKeys:
Give this a shot... hope it helps!

https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-9839

I'll look into supporting apps later tonight (maybe kies?) and I'll read more about the bootloader requirments.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] James62370:
The good news is that link above is helpful in that it did work in performing a factory reset on the Gear 2.

If I go into my bluetooth settings, I was able to actually pair the device to my phone, but when opening the Gear Manager App on my phone, I keep getting the same error message "Unable to connect to the Gear. Connecting to the Gear is not supported by your mobile device, or your software needs to be updated. Check that your mobile device is able to connect to the Gear, then update your mobile device software".

Also on the Gear 2, it's stuck on the screen that says "Select the device you want to connect from the list". When I select the "Gear 2", it shows me the mac address of the device. Then the only option I have is "previous" page.

I got a bit excited when I was able to pair through the bluetooth settings, but still stuck... I feel we are so close, but not sure what the missing piece is.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] EdKeys:
Maybe now you have to clear all app data for the Gear from your phone. See if that helps. Try to get both the phone and the Gear clear/reset at the same time then pair up and try again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] James62370:
Cleared all app data for the gear manager and then reset the gear 2 also, can connect manually through bluetooth settings as before, however gear manager keeps crashing.

Guess I will try the stock kernel first to see if that helps, but I really can't stay without wifi and the patch is just awful in my experience so this will be for temporary for testing purposes only.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] James62370:
Update: Dirty Flashed Conch Republic with Stock Kernel, did not work. Dirty Flashed SWARM Version 1 and now I'm able to connect to my Gear 2. Unfortunately wifi isn't working unless I use the wi-fi patch. Also I won't be able to use this fantastic ROM. Will try dirty flashing Conch Republic on top, hopefully the settings will stay :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] EdKeys:
Don't think it will since the flash script wipes the system files. Does answer the question of whether it was the debloating I did or not and yes, I took out the files you need apparently. I'll find out what they are and put something together... just give me a day or so.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] James62370:
I dirty flashed to your current ROM and then flashed the latest version of devil kernel. I'm fortunate enough to say that the gear 2 can now connect. Everything seems to work properly, except for one little issue.

After going into the gear manager on my phone, whenever leaving the app, by pressing the back or the home key, I get the notice "Unable to connect to the Gear. Connecting to the Gear is not supported by your mobile device..." However, even with this little issue, it remains connected and appears to be working.

The following apps were automatically installed and even updated my Gear 2 to the latest firmware to R380XXU0BND8. It was approximately a 24 Meg firmware update which downloaded to my phone first and then pushed to the gear 2. Below is a list of all additional apps:

ConnectionManager 1.0.3

Gear2 Plugin 2.0.1.4040401

goproviders 2.0.58

Hostmanager 2.0.14040401

SAFileTransferCore 2.0.16.1

Samsung Accessory Service 2.13.80

saproviders 2.0.61

Update Gear software 2.140413.2011

WeatherProvider 140403.02_2.0.11

All have the Gear Icon, with the exception of WeatherProvider, that one showed the settings icon so I'm not sure if it's part of the Gear apps.

Anyway, off to further testing and playing with my Gear 2. I would like to thank you again for helping out in this matter. So for now, the only issue is the app popping up with that notice, but everything still seems to be working properly. I even managed to keep all my data intact :)

Looking forward to your update none the less... Thank you again!!

Update: S Voice doesn't work either...

First day I already have had 2 complete freezes. using 2D version.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] EdKeys:
Testing Edition 3D right now before I update the OP. Rebuilt with updated apps, updated kernel, latest viper4android, and a few new additions. If anyone else would like to test and report back the link is here:

http://www.mediafire.com/?r25wd8h2jsay60d

All root binaries now included in the rom. No need to flash a seperate su package. Changelog will be posted in OP when I officially release. Wipe Dalvick cache for upgrades. Coming from another rom full wipe/format of all partitions except ext sdcard. I'll upload a new nandroid for F2FS upgrades later today. Edition 3S probably later today too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pyraxiate:
Ill give it a shot :) Been wanting to try out f2fs anyway. Do you happen to have the md5 handy so I can confirm I have a good download?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] EdKeys:
Appreciate it. Keep in mind that you'll have to re-format everything back to EXT4 with CWM recovery if you want to flash another rom or you'll never boot up.

MD5: 4a2488b7a867900d60a5aa55e1eb0f8a
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pyraxiate:
Md5 matched but devil recovery wont flash it for some reason. I'll flash via twrp in a bit and report back. Yard work time lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] EdKeys:
I flashed with CWM, but if Devil won't flash then I'll probably have to rework the updater script. Let me know about TWRP. I haven't used it since its been updated.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] starkruzr:
Flashed 2D, seemed okay except for camera not working (again), then started freezing more and more often until now it just bootloops. Welp. Back to the drawing board.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pyraxiate:
I flashed via Phils Touch cwm. Everything is up and running on f2fs without any issues so far. I wiped everything aside from my external SD for the install. Md5 matched of course :)

I'll test a bit and report back!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] EdKeys:
I had some reports of dropbox fc's. If you have any errors with dropbox, I've fixed them and am uploading a final version right now along with a copy of the nandroid after flashing. I'll put up the links later when they've completed. All you have to do is download the nandoid non-flashable version and restore only system from that for f2fs. Instructions in the OP at the bottom.

Edit to add. OP has not been updated with the new download links yet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pyraxiate:
Dropbox seems to be working fine for me. Did the others do a fully clean install? Something from an old install could be causing issues. If I have any issues, I can just delete it from /system/app and install from the market. No biggie.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] EdKeys:
new download links are now in the OP.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pyraxiate:
Weird.... my drop box is working fine. Zero issues so far. As a matter of fact, everything seems to be running perfectly. I've had no weird wake locks, no bsods, and no random reboots. As stated before, I did a completely clean install ( including wiping the internal storage). Not sure if that's what made the difference. Also, I used Phils Touch cwm. Last but not least...... I always check the Md5 directly on the phone prior to flashing ( using md5checker from the play store ). This ensures I have a good file as well as the zip transferred to my external card properly. When writing to an external card, the file can be corrupted if it hits a bad sector on the card.

Hope those pointers help someone else out there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] CableMan67:
I downloaded and installed Conch Edition 3D yesterday, using Phils Touch to install, just wiped dalvick cache and upgraded from previous 2D version. Almost 24 hours later and no reboots, or glitches to report. It's my daily and working great!

Thanks, EdKeys for your hard work on this :)

i can never get this rom to ever install, from first version to latest version.

phils, cwm, twrp i get status 7 install aborted
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pyraxiate:
Did you check the md5? That's the number one mistake people make and that will absolutely cause an error 7. Sounds like you got a bad download.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] gshadow325:
yeah 5x, and i have been trying this rom since it first came out a few months ago
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pyraxiate:
Are you flashing from internal storage or external SD card? What bootloader are you using? I'm on the 4.3 Knox bootloader. I fully wiped everything including internal storage.

Also, how big is your memory card? I've heard 64gb don't play well in recoveries.

You checked your md5 you said, but did you try transferring it to the external and checking the md5 using a card reader? You could have a corrupt card.

If all those check out, Odin to stock 4.3 ( Mr Robinsons is what I used ), then Odin the recovery.

To me though, it still sounds like a bad file. Just because it downloads to a computer and the md5 matches, doesn't mean it's not getting corrupted when transferring to a card.
