Yep. I have the same issue when the battery dies. When plugged in the phone is stuck at the charging logo and won't boot. This is a problem I have experienced with all 4.4 AOSP ROMs I have tried. It must be related to the source code.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] balance101:
Had to use clean install for v26 because of Google account issue. For battery problem disable Google now. On v24/25 I found Google now drain battery too fast.

With charging the phone when the phone is dead get suck at battery icon. I found that it did charge it a bit then I had to unplug usb, boot up phone then plug in again to continue charging.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] CaptynJaneway:
Yep same exact thing with me
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] felix_fx2:
I actually tried that few hours after my last post but didn't have time to come by.

nope it didn't work for me too...

I extracted it from slim weekly and put it in that folder n replicated the permissions.

But there's some differences between us, i am actually using a EZ-cast (miracast standard if not mistaken) maybe that is why i had a 1 off detection. tested with the default kernel as well as Agni.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] killerocker:
A lot of the battery drain I was having was solved for me by switching to Agni kernel for CM. Give it a shot

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mashuto:
Going to give this a try. My battery has been draining a bit worse than before. Its not terrible, but definitely noticeable. Ill give agni a try. Do you just have it at default settings or have it tweaked at all?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kzhkr:
have a feeling it's related to the updated google play services and google service framework?

i do realise the battery drain is much faster now and according to BBS, there's more wakes from google
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Fygee:
To mirror what others have said, my battery drains waaaaaay faster now with this latest version coming from version 20. I've got a ZeroLemon extended battery, and on a full charge this morning it barely made it to the afternoon. Normally I can get two full days with medium to heavy use.

Yes flashing the minimal gapps is what I did also. And using kitkat nexus5, camera MX, snap camera hdr. All working fine too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] simika:
even if this rom was cool.. i went back to my nandroid backup: Dirty Unicorns !!

going back means.. no problem with camera anymore..no fc, FOCUS works (also on camera fx and procamera ) !!

i'm not saying it's this rom causing problems with camera but on 4.4.2 over 5-6 different roms i tried only few kept camera work without any issue..

those were Temasek V41 (other versions problems...) and Dirty Unicorns the last one..

i really hope this problema with camera get solved sooner or later.. i do love to take picture with my normal compact camera but sometmies u just want to snap a pic with u rmobile and if in that moment it fails.. u don't like it :P

Will thanks so much for your work!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] infamous916:
All you needed to do was flash slim minimal gapps and camera works fine

..all aspects of it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] willl03:
Or

There will be no Active Display in this rom, it's an endless source of trouble and trying to patch it

Root works fine with built in Superuser and setting it to Apps and adb in dev settings

Camera works fine if you use the Slim gapps meant for this rom

That too Lol, I like recovery as it own cause then I don't have to click 2 things
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] simika:
lol... that's what i did in the first istance .. before installing this rom i wiped all (cache data... ) i installed this rom and

minimal gapps!!

just curious.. have u tried other camera apps ?? cause to me could focus ONLY with rom camera but not any other apps

while now( on dirty unicorns ) it focus with all sort of camera apps and never had a FC !
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Senyaka:
Let me know how it goes with a new battery. In general, KK does eat up more battery. Play services and G+ are big battery hogs. I also use Greenify and bootmanger both xposed apps and it does help me with battery. Battery life on 4.2.2 was pretty amazing, not going to lie. But to move forward with the times, we sadly have to take some sacrifices. For google, that means cutting our battery life. But hopefully a new battery will help you out. :)

I use Snap Camera and have had 0 issues using it. I also tried the defaut camera app last night and was able to take pictures and video without any issues what so ever.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jayjay1234:
Hi All,

To anyone who have camera focus issues try this lib fix. I was going crazy with the same thing but this worked for me. I'm used the v3 version for the 4.4 camera. If you liked the 4.2 camera use the v2.3 version. Both will fix the focus issue.

Had the same issue with root a couple of versions back. Simply opened up super su and disabled and re-enabled superuser from the settings tab. Fixed it right up.

Regarding Google play, you can turn off the option to backup/restore settings and it won't restore anything. Since I use titanium, I wish there was a way to backup and restore everything except apps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mashuto:
Hi all, sounds like a bit of drama went down in here. Anyways just wanted to check in now that I am up and running for a day or two on v8. So far, this might be the single best ROM experience I have had, going through all of Wills old beanstalk and temasek builds, and trying a few others.

First things first, I flashed this with the AIO Slim package.

I will say, I do seem to have some camera issues, trying to record video in the camera app just freezes the camera. But taking pictures seems fine. I honestly almost never take video, and rarely take pictures, plus I can always just use Focal or something similar.

My battery issues, specifically wlan_rx_wake seemed to have cleared up. After some research I determined that it was most probably due to the multiple DLNA servers I have running on my home network. And based on that, I re-greenified all apps that might be receiving DLNA messages, plex, allcast, etc. I was able to get an hour or two of screen time, ~16 hours of idle and my battery was only down to ~50-60%. If anyone has a similar setup to mine, greenifying those types of apps might help. And for anyone else, I mentioned it before, if you do not use location history, turn it off! It will most probably cut your idle drain by half (of course you might lose some location based cards in google now, if you use it).

Otherwise, this rom is smooth, very smooth, and seems to be very stable. Thanks so much Will!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] darknessrise1234:
This seems to be my problem. Any insight?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mashuto:
PowerManagerServices is a catch all and doesnt really represent one individual wakelock. However, see my post right above yours for some potential solutions to wlan_rx_wake. It seems to be wifi networks broadcasting things to devices on the network, and then your device receiving those packets and waking up. As I found, DLNA (media) servers or streamers on the network might be the cause (or possibly even DLNA receivers/players. So for me, I greenified all apps that I know use or connect to some kind of media server that I have running on my network, such as Plex and Allcast.

Do some google searching on the wakelock and see what comes up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] darknessrise1234:
I don't use anything like that. I mainly just have stock apps, with these installed. MEGA, Engadget, Chrome Beta, FauxClock, ES File Explorer, BBS, Billion counter (showing off to a friend lol), Amazon, Google Search, Google+, Goomanager, Greenify, Handwriting, Hangouts, Newegg, Pandora, Play Music, Super Hexagon, XDA Premium, Viper4AndroidFX, Youtube, and uTorrent. (uTorrent had only been on around 30 minutes after rom installation and was on for 15 minutes.)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] lebertian:
I tried both flashing directly the minimal Gapps, and flashing it it after reflashing the ROM (with its pertinent caches wipes, like when I flash a newer version), and the camera still doesn't work with the Bank of America app to deposit checks... Anyways, I know one day it will be fixed, won't lose hope!

By the way, what do you mean the "play store themed"? I opened it and looks like always...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] infamous916:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jivin_hipcat:
Just +1ing the camera focus thing: while using a document scanner app, the apps camera fails to focus correctly. It's kind of like the timing is off. Like it takes the picture just a split second too soon while it is still focusing. Not a big deal for me because the app has the option of using the phone camera instead which works great.

-I used the AIO gapps

-Thanks again for the awesome rom

I have the same problem as well. Th3 phone now has trouble lasting during my work day on the same charge, but my battery stats don't show anything wrong. It just drains faster.

Plus I'm now having problems charging from my usb port, but I'm pretty sure that's hardware related. Qi works fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
Well I did manage to get better battery life by changing the stock governor to pegasusq, maybe give it a try.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DCOCH13:
I've always used Agni kernel with this ROM. But I decided to give the built in kernel a try after flashing v26. Needless to say, very heavy battery drain. 7 hours 56 minutes since unplugged and 3 hours 15 screen on time and was down to 3%. Reflashed Agni to test difference and results were huge. 8 hours 8 minutes unplugged with 3 hours screen on and was only at 50%. Great rom. Just didn't get good battery with stock kernel. Maybe try Agni and see if it helps you also.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] UnidH4x0r:

You can just dirty flash Rom and then flash Agni since you are already running v26.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] shaggyskunk:
I'd probably wipe cache and dalvik - before Flashing the kernel... But that's just me ;)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rainman26:
To second what shaggy said. Always make a nandroid before flashing critical mods or kernel. You'll never know what will happen after.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DCOCH13:
I always wipe cache and dalvik before and after flashing anything personally. I guess when I gave the advice, I just assumed it was standard practice for everyone to. And I figured everyone would have a android also. But i may be a little naive in that thought. Lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Fygee:
Updated the kernel to AGNI and its working much better now battery wise. And yup, I wiped the Davlik and Cache prior. To me its SOP with any ROM changes.

I also noticed that this version of the ROM fixed a big problem I was having with Bluetooth, where it would heavily decrease the bandwidth on my WiFi for any media that had sound when my headset was connected.

Unfortunately, I now have a bigger problem with this version in that I"m constantly losing GPS signal to the point where its useless. This happened before the kernel upgrade as well. Any thoughts?

Quick Setting custom tile - set everything (pretty much)

I'm in process of reading through this entire thread, so apologies if this has already been posted.

If you add a custom tile to your quick settings panel you can control pretty much everything with SecureSettings. There's a "System+" module that you'll need to enable to set things like GPS on/off.

I did this in order to rotate location mode through off/battery saving/high accuracy. Once you've installed SecureSettings (and the System+ module) you can just

add a custom tile

click on the tile

first action, select SecureSettings, system actions, location mode, drop down to " location off", click the little diskette icon at the top to save, select a shortcut title and shortcut icon, tap the diskette icon again

second action, the same, only drop down to "Battery Saving", pick an icon, etc.

third action, again the same, only drop down to "High Accuracy", pick an icon, etc.

done.

I'm using SecureSettingsPro. Pretty sure this is exactly the same as SecureSettings. Also, I have Tasker installed, but I'm also pretty sure that that doesn't matter here. (Does anybody here not have Tasker or Llama or location?)

Oh - and if you're using Tasker/etc to control car mode, you might want to add a step to set location to high accuracy there.

I've been on V24 (stock kernel) for quite sometime and must say that it's rock solid as my daily driver.

But, I've been trying to dirty flash V25/V26 several times but without success. Historically, I've always dirty flashed without issues.

Every time I do it now, the phone reboots till the Samsung screen, and then simply boots into Recovery again. I don't even see the W03/Slimcat animation. This behavior is consistent.

Once I even tried a clean install, and the same result. Each time I have to revert to a V24 backup.

Can anybody help here as it's almost like my phones forgotten how to boot after flashing ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] shaggyskunk:
Could be that you got a bad or incomplete download - try downloading again - or verify the md5 / Sha1 of the download.

When you say "clean" flash - Did you Factory Reset - Wipe System and Caches?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dg170775:
It's definitely not a bad download as I've downloaded several times and matched the MD5 every single time. I've been on custom ROMs way long, especially with Will03's ROMs from the beginning, and dirty flash most of the times.

Yes, you're right. By 'Clean' flash, I Do Factory Reset, Wipe system and Caches, and also wipe internal SD card.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dg170775:
I'm using PhilZ latest recovery 6.48.4
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] shaggyskunk:
I'd flash with TWRP v2.8.0.0

You can download it it from techerrata.com & flash TWRP with Philz

You may not have had any problems before with Philz - But I know that everyone on the test team is using TWRP without any difficulties

http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dg170775:
Hi, Do I specifically have to go for v2.8.0? As I see that there's a newer version v2.8.1 ?

Sure - I don't think that 2.8.1.0 was up on techerrata.com when I posted my reply - But I'm running 2.8.1.0 - So - Yes is the answer ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dg170775:
ok, even with TWRP I'm getting identical results I had with PhilZ. After dirty flashing v26, the phone reboots, but only back into Recovery.

I did notice one thing though; With both PhilZ and TWRP, after flashing the ROM + GApps, when I select reboot, both recoveries prompt me to also flash SU as I've lost root.

Whether I flash SU or not, the end result is the same after reboot .. i.e the phone reboots back only into recovery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] xBkKx:
I had this problem before with a different ROM. Honestly seemed like using Philz recovery caused the problem and the only way I managed to fix it was starting over and installing the firmware through Odin. (will format internal storage if you are left with no other solutions either)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] shaggyskunk:
I agree - If he's having this kind of issue - I'd DEFINITELY Odin back to stock - Flash TWRP with Odin - Backup the stock ROM - Factory Reset - Wipe System and Caches - Flash Rom and Gapps - There's no reason for the phone just rebooting into Recovery - Unless something is corrupted - Likely a Partition..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dg170775:
Hmm.. Well I've given up currently as honestly I can't fault v24; it's so smooth and stable, my daily driver.

I'll start playing around with this device once I get my Note 4 (already pre-ordered).

Don't know about others, but I'm also biased with Philz as I've been using this recovery for ages snow, and it's so neatly organised and so far it's worked a treat. I somehow don't like the TWRP interface at all.

this was a clean v26 install, no titanium, no other automated restore, full clean install, manual restore... cuz if you're gonna do it right, do it right.
