[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] TavoAcAr:
I have flashed the test build from March 1st. on a pretty neat clean wipe/flash from scratch (this time with Banks Minimal GApps from 2-27 and the latest multi-dpi playstore from myliferocks)

So far I have only made the usual customizations in settings without syncing yet any of my two gmail accounts or any other (no downloaded apps obviously too)

And so far the usual "malfunctions" (for so to say):

+ The stock gallery doesn't show any image at all.... [will try the advised QuickPic as soon as I can]

+ (This one's new) there are no ringtones/melodies/notifications/ui sounds at all... I have rebooted like five times now with the media scanner in automatically and manually triggered but nothing yet.

+ The governor/scheduler and sd card read ahead settings are not maintained after a reboot with the option to do so triggered on.

+ Still If I chose a lockscreen image in dirty tweaks along with other lockscreen customizations, the UI goes crazy!

**I have not moved a bit the configuration of the AOSP keyboard to my language and any other customization to not having the issue again...

What's with all this? :crying: I have flashed this ROM like 18 to 20 times now since Bangsti's builds and I just can't get it to work like the exact way I like ROMS to do :( I'm starting to quit on this rom and maybe any other Omni's related too.... I had never this kind of issues on the good 'ol Asylum 4.2.x based on CM and certainly miss it but obviously I want to be on KK now, not go back... but if I had to I will, even to the hatred Touchjizz if I must, I need an stable functional device for my job and family :crying:

And don't get me wrong, you know me father, I have worshiped your efforts on this and every other input you have done from a long time ago and certainly appreciate what the DU developers are doing too, but this drawbacks are not suiting me anymore.

UPDATE --> Apparently this requires to find the whimsical trick... it's hard to tell the exact combination of events but here are some heads up...... like 10 reboobs and 1 device turn off, reorder all setting to one's liking, reboob once more into recovery and clean dalvik and cache and fix permissions, then reboob again into recovery and reflash the same build on a dirty basis just once without cleaning nor fixing anything, then don't let the phone "rest/sleep/settle" but use it on anything else except gallery and sound settings, wait for it to get warmer (a sign of heavy indexing, familiar to me now) and then sign in to one's google account(s), then let the phone rest for about 5 to 10 minutes, finally go back and enter gallery and sounds and the media is back.... absurd and a waste of time, I know, but worked (the only thing that I haven't try is the rain dance ;) who knows? maybe that was the real trick lol). Still the performance setting will not maintain if a third party app is not used for the purpose.

Just use home button not back. Home works for me.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] prinzkazimir:
instead of the raindance, putting out the plug (take off the battery) helps sometimes, too. :silly:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] TavoAcAr:
Oh, you're right, forgot to mention it in the past post, but that was another trick of the book already done (plug, unplug, wall outlet and computer, battery off, different battery, etc)... not a thing that worked or made a difference at all (well, only good to have some accurate BBS statistics) :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] chasmodo:
This problem should be fixed in tomorrow's build: http://gerrit.dirtyunicorns.com/#/c/1787/
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] TavoAcAr:
The menu and back hardware keys apparently have nothing to do with the AOSP keyboard/gapps... it again (on the latest build on clean install with different gapps, minimal configuration, no other apps installed, no changed keyboard setting and mainly NOT even during keyboard usage: suddenly those keys stopped working just like that, plain and simple... as I said before, only a reboob fix them until they fail again at some other time....

Also... Notifications Count isn't working anymore, I mean it used to, but it simply stopped working and there is no way to make it function again, I have tried enable it, disable it, reboob, changed some other notifications settings and nothing.

The SIM signal icon keeps disappearing with every UI restart done by making dirty tweaks changes. Not an issue but not aesthetically practical when the signal strength must be known, then again, only a reboot cures it but it's impractical.

New n7000 build can be downloaded at DU Google+ community.

Keyboard crashes on languages other than English, German and few others has been fixed. However, make sure to go to Language and input/Input menu and disable physical keyboard if LatinIME refuses to appear when you try to send SMS or whatever.

Kernel Tweaker app has replaced Performance control in Settings, but it's a bit slow in its first interaction with SuperSU, so please be patient. Everything's fine once it gets the initial superuser permission.

hi i flashed the google camera with panorama etc. but i am not enjoying it. how do i get back the standard camera that came with the rom? dirty flashing the new build didnt add it.its still got the google camera.

Delete the Photosphere / Google Camera backup script in system/ add-on.d folder. Then reflash Rom
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Lister Of Smeg:
Hi [MENTION=4406720]chasmodo[/MENTION],

Thanks for another outstanding rom update, especially loving the new Kernel Tweaker!! ;) :D This rom just gets better and better...

I know/appreciate this rom is currently released in "test" distribution, meaning just that. And you've kindly provided a work around for/if the keyboard is not showing on this build. Is this "a bug, that is scheduled to be fixed" or just the way it is from now? Only reason I ask, if you do a clean flash / install, you have no way of entering any details during setup and have to skip past them. Then do the tweak, and then login.

It's no biggy, as it's so easy to work around it... Just wondering if it's gonna stay like that or if its on your +1 list to address?

Thanks again, Lister
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] nayeem.20042005:
keyboard is not a bug :P go to settings->language-input-> click on default and OFF the hardware physical keyboard and now keyboard will show :good::p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] victorharsh:
but again when you restart your device , automatically it will ON , very annoying when use whatsapp with swiftkey :mad::silly:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Lister Of Smeg:
Hi nayeem.20042005,

Thank you for reply, however I was already aware of this "workaround" as Chasmodo had clearly posted it in his opening post about this new release. And I had also acknowledged that I was aware of this workaround in my reply...

It's all very well if you're doing this from a Dirty-Flash over the top of an existing build.

However what I was referring to in my initial post is try doing a clean install of this rom (not over the top of an existing one) and then try to connect to your own WiFi or try signing into your Google Account? = you can't

You have to skip past all of that, wait till the initial Android setup has taken place, then goto Settings/Languages and so on, and make the change there... So as previously mentioned, it's no biggy as you can get around it... Just you can't do anything about connecting/signing in if coming from a clean setup.

Plus as [MENTION=4322231]victorharsh[/MENTION] says, also noticed that it turns itself back on again after a re-boot too. Wondered why I couldnt sign into Facebook, and then realized that I had to switch it off again.....

Anyway, no biggy... But just wondered thats how it's going to stay, or if this is to be addressed??

Cheers, Lister
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] nayeem.20042005:
rsrs how many times you restart your device in a day ? well in my case my mobile always ON and never need to restart because it never lag

EDIT:- did some test by restart my device

well even i use swiftkey but didnt face any problem even when its on, but sometime you can have 1 sec lag to show keyboard and its not big deal and once you off its perfect again
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] dead4ngel:
just a little warning to anyone. dont change lockscreen wallpaper via dirty tweaks. it totally causes the whole ui to keep restarting as im experiencing now :( only way to solve is by restoring from backup. i tried restoring boot on its own. even system. no luck. this is annoying as had to restore to a backup i made this morning but lost everything i done all day
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] AA1973:
#pro-tip Reboot in "Safe Mode"...

While boot animation is showing, keep the volume down button pressed and then - if booted in safe mode - revert your erroneously made changes. Reboot normally.

#Profit

P. S. You can also reach "boot in safe mode" while long pressing the restart button in the advanced power menu
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] dead4ngel:
btw even in safe mode it restarts the ui. and doesnt allow me to do anything. iv just tried it again to see if it could be solved in safe mode. but this time i made a back up straight away. nothing can be done in file manager thats integrated in recovery?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] prinzkazimir:
Angel, this is one of the sadest posts, I read here. It takes me really in somewhat of a melancholic mood....the essence of my philosophic conclusion, which I found after consuming severel glasses of wine in rapid sequences, about your (and all of our) problems, is:

Someday, everything will be lost we´ve done in all our live!

Sorry, I didn´t want to make fun of you, but i couldn´t resist in the shape I´m in now. :p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] dead4ngel:
lol why? plus common i cant make a backup every hour. i didnt really expect this to happen either. i mean rom is very good no disputing that. im just letting people know so that no on else gets in to this situation. hows my post sad?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Lister Of Smeg:
Hi All,

I too can vouch for what Dead4ngle has posted... I wasn't really listening to this post if I'm honest, and as going through various tweaks. Done the same thing, and now no matter what, SafeMode or normal... I cant gain access to the system again.

It's no biggie, as I'll just re-flash, and I have made rom packages of all my Apps so will just flash those back too... :)

But just a warning for others too, not to change Lockscreen wallpaper until its safe again... - be interesting to find out if it works via Gravity?? As a lot of people are talking about Gravity mod on DU G+ website, even though I thought DU doesn't support Xposed??

Anyway, thanks, Lister
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] AA1973:
Okay, again... If above fails. 2 methods

1) nandroid backup (with borked data)

Make a nandroid with the corrupt data followed by a full wipe. Afterwards, you'll setup your rom again and then either restore the apps via playstore or via an app (including data), such as Titanium Backup (Pro) or Nandoid Manager (Pro). Both can restore apps and their data from nandroid backups.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.h3r3t1c.bkrestore.pro

2) experimental / NOT recommended !!!

Edited: brilliant idea, but failed miserably while executing:mad:

Mount the data partition in recovery and then choose the file manager in TWRP recovery.

Go to data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases and there you'll delete the "settings.db"

That should - in theory - help.

Unmount data partition, then reflash Rome™.

Maybe, I will try that later, if net connection is better...

(edit to self: do not hit the back button in tapatalk, stupid me!)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Lister Of Smeg:
Hi AA1973,

Thanks for the below advice, unfortunately too late for me, as I hit WIPE 'n' FLASH too soon before I read this... :( lol

Still, as said, no biggie for me to just re-flash everything again anyway. However this may just well be very useful to anyone else, and I am sure glad I know about Method 2 now... Very handy tip, and (hopefully wont need it) may well give it a shot if the worst happens again...

Thanks, Lister
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] AA1973:
Basically, you're saying that changing lockscreen wallpaper causes FC's? When?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Lister Of Smeg:
Hi [MENTION=2952258]AA1973[/MENTION],

Well, not FC's as such... but as when you change the wallpaper under the very latest 2014/03/06-test build, under DirtyTweaks/Lockscreen. You are then stuck in a loop of constant restarts... The screen keeps flickering, you can't click on anything. You can hold down the Power button and force a reboot. However if you boot in SafeMode you still get stuck in a loop, and cant change anything back either. Only way out is to wipe/flash... or try your methods.

I'm pretty sure Lockscreen Wallpaper wasn't broke in previous builds....

Cheers, Lister

Hi [MENTION=2952258]AA1973[/MENTION],

Just tried adding Lockscreen Wallpaper again on a completely fresh build, and same thing... Gets stuck in a loop where you can't access anything. However just tried Method 2, and that does indeed fix the looping issue... However it seems QS Tiles are not working at the moment, maybe some other things. So gonna try a DirtyFlash over the top and see what that does...

Thanks, Lister
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] AA1973:
Yes, not a too good idea. Option 2 is out of the game. Nandroid FTW...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Lister Of Smeg:
Yup, DirtyFlash over the top didnt fix the broken QS Tiles (and dare say other features too).

Only way out, another Wipe 'n' Flash... ;) lol. Your lockscreen wallpaper, was that done on latest build 06/03/2014 - the one with Kernel Tweaker included??

Cheers, Lister
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] TavoAcAr:
Apparently someone didn't read my 2 previous warning "litanies" about this and other issues hehe... :cyclops:

Yep, safe mode didn't worked for me too. A clean install or a Nandroid is the only way to go.

That's right, they are no FC's, it's the System UI restarting like every second or two impeding almost any touch on the screen and there's is no power under the heaven's to correct the faulty configuration. It doesn´t matter if its a clean or a dirty install.

Yes it was. At least in the last 2 builds when I first tried that mod.

**As a reminder, other things borked: the notifications count (the statusbar icon) and the malfunction of the back & menu HW keys (led lights are OK)... will provide the lolcats soon, I'm trying to do the same with Carbon to test and apparently those issues are not here...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ricardowec:
I don't know if this is a "feature" or something strange happening as of last test built.

When waking my phone after being in standby, unlocking, and swiping to the home screen, the flash triggers by itself. This behavior can be reproduced.

Anyone?

where abouts is this

hi. does this remove all traces of the google camera once i flash new test build again? because at the moment i am getting fc on video camera. so i just want to make sure all traces for it are gone. also do i just delete the one file called '75-googlecamera.sh'. and thats it? no apk or anything to delete?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] AA1973:
Don't know. Never flashed this shiznit, as it causes more trouble on a non-Nexus device than it is worth.

Post (or read) the content of the backup script and then you'll see what is backed up.

BTW you could ask this kind of question in the thread where you got it from?

If I were you I'd delete all files in addon.d, drop in recovery, then clean flash the Rom and Gapps.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] dead4ngel:
easier method

chasmodo isnt there an easier way. all i want to do is have the stock camera back. the google one fcs on video recording. isnt there a flashable zip for stock camera that comes with your rom?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] chasmodo:
You don't need just the camera app, but libs as well. You also need to get rid of that PhotoSphere junk you already have.

I could compile just the camera2 and everything needded, but I can't get shot of the PS stuff for you.

So, there's no easy way to do it.

New n7000 build is up at Google+ DU Community.

$@#%&! physical keyboard bug is fixed.

Slow unlock triggering the torch is also fixed (what Ricardowec pointed out)

Custom lockscreen image causing SystemUI boobloop is still not fixed, we're working on it <--- I'm adding this to known issues in the OP until it gets resolved

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] dead4ngel:
aww man. guess il do a fresh install tomorrow. but i hate having to go through all that again. plus the ps junk is in dirty tweaks. tbh if it was that bad it should just be removed from the download centre. i thought hey more features that sounded appealing so downloaded it. i didnt realise i cant go back unless i do a fresh install.

on another note. thanks for the new build. see what i did there lol
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] chasmodo:
Photosphere works well on some devices, unfortunately not so well on N7000, because it's old and lacks tons of Crapsung source code.

Also, users should try to educate themselves a bit before flashing everything in sight. DU will not pull PS from the DC because it doesn't

work on old Samsung crappy devices.

as for you 'AA1973' i dont know what your problem with me is. but i am not here to cause trouble. sorry i didnt read back a few days earlier to see that that issue had already been addressed.

i love this rom to bits overall and a few small problems will not make a difference to me. but i feel if i come across one to let others know of it. i take the problems as a learning curve really, because of the lockscreen one i learnt i can boot into safe mode lol.

so overall thanks to chasmodo and all the wonderful people that reply back to queries and help. and keep up the good work.

Hi [MENTION=4406720]chasmodo[/MENTION],

Thank you for the awesome update dude, was over a mates house last night and hit up the G+ website to see in less than 2x days another build was released, and spotting the Physical Keyboard had been fixed... Flash it straight away, and what a difference it has made. The phone/rom is WAY MORE stable again now. Keyboard issues gone, also no longer getting the BoobLoop ;) in SystemUI with the wallpapers I often use, so thats great too.. also noticed the Unlock is smoother again too, as that was driving me mad. All in all, a cracking rom... :)

As for Camera (with posts above...) I've only just noticed that the Camcorder mode isn't working... Show's how much I use that??? lol. However I am totally loving the Photosphere, works really really well on the photos Ive taken lately.

Cheers, Lister
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] TavoAcAr:
That's weird... I have tried like 5 or 7 different images on 800x1280 (that is the fixed or lockscreen size for our Note) and I got the loop everytime!... but will try on a smaller image size to see results then (although image quality wont be the same as I always seek for :( )...

Hello. [MENTION=4406720]chasmodo[/MENTION],

Wonder if I could use r5 with the current build (or you would recommend not doing so)

I've been using r5 until recently, but it so happened that as of last build, I did a clean install and went on with the stock kernel.

When I woke up this morning, my phone was off with the battery depleted. The phone won't power up. . Most likely an overnight SOD.

In my rush to go to work I swapped batteries with an old one and managed to turn the phone on. Didn't have the time to take the logs out.

Any suggestions please?
