nonsense sorry

if you install the kernel first and then the rom, the kernel (agni) will be replaced with the cm11 default kernel again, which happens each time you flash a new nightly or any rom. so the kernel to be installed has always to be flashed AFTER the rom and not before.

further many come to conclusions which have not much to do with the truth, a clean install usually solves eventual problems and assuming that the gapps were faulty is usually an illution, i haven't seen many if any gapp packages around which cause issues. gapps are "google apps" and usually compatible if not too old and any common gapp package would be working if not altered. so we have to distinguish between themed apps or else altered gapps and not just gapps with gapps. the difference between gapp packages is usually the apks included, so what's included and less the compatibility. of course always considering that we don't use i.e. kitkat gapps on i.e. gingerbread hehe...

I played more with dpi and Animation. At 240 and zero Animation the bug persists. You need to press "Pad", <back> and "Pad" again to have the DialPad in Dialer.

When I set 270 and x1 Animation everything is OK.

it's definitely a bug in the Dialer. I have to find some time to look at sources and try to fix...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] rezapatel:
After the first day of facing the issue, it seems to be working okay for me on 320 and 0.5 and also on 320 and 0.0. Rom is set to 240 and only the phone / dialer app set to 320. Gluck.

---------- Post added at 09:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 PM ----------

Guess too soon, the bug struck back! Pad, back and pad is only what seems to be working..

---------- Post added at 10:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:57 PM ----------

Ok what fixed it for me, at least for now is as follows.. Browse to the /system/priv-app/ and re-install dialer.apk by clicking on it.

So far, so good.

---------- Post added at 10:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:02 PM ----------

Apologies for flooding it.. Issue seems to have been resolved with the above and setting the animation to 0.5. Removing the dialer from memory and reopening seems to confirm it's fixed.

Guys, maybe its too early to ask but ; since android Lollipop codes released today , will we get it as cyanogenmod soon? Or will we have to wait samsung or arm to release some drivers or something like that?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] lgil25:
I read somewhere that the first lollypop nightlies will start rolling out in December.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] magnamentis:
question 1: answer yes

question 2: back to question/answer 1
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] manuel1992:
I checked the Note 2 device on the cyanogenmod website and I saw that there is only 1 person maintaining the phone.

In december will receive only those phones that have a lot of people working on it.

I am very sceptical that note 2 will receive the Android 5.0 soon.

I think at least 4-6 months but I hope I am wrong :(:(:(:(
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] kzhkr:
hi guys, wanna find out if there's a solution to this problem i realised ytd after flashing the rom..

when phone is in sleep mode, i press the sleep button to wake it up. the screen will show my homescreen first then the lockscreen.

is it rom related issue or it's a setting which i can change?

please advise, TIA! :)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] MySelf_v1:
After using CM for 2 weeks I've found many bugs like:

Battery Life ( until the last update ) scared me a bit.

Lockscreen gets bugged when SPen is out and the screen go in standby while playing clash of clans.

Wi-Fi connection seems not to be stable at all especially while playing online.

Bluetooth won't connect the phone with my Pioneer BT-Unit for calling and receiving calls. Playing music is the only thing I can do over BT. ( DIAMOND ROM allows me even to sync contacts with the BT unit).

Google Camera's autofocus won't work at all. In fact I am not really sure if it's camera related or just the image gallery app sucks. Gonna check it out on my PC and report back.

Stock Camera app, after installing Google camera, says "impossible to open camera" when I tap the icon.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] manish9009:
Not with me

I am Using CM11 with stocck and then agni kernal for around 2 months and haven't faced any such issues yet.

Got the antutu benchmark score upto 27k + which is again the best I got for any rom.

Battery life is not amongst the best but still way better than stock.

wifi signals :- I am too facing issues with low wifi signals in locations where devices like Intex aqua(cheap chainess crap) are able to

find signals. But the connection is stable and I am not loosingthe connectivity at all.

No lags while Playing games. games like NFS msw which used to lag a bit in stock are running super smoonth.

The only is so far is sometimes while waking it up from sleep (Unlock screen) the systemui.apk crashes and I have to unlock the phone

again. If I don't use a lock screen it doesn't happen.

Please don't take it is as a bad comment.

As they say every note 2 is different.

---------- Post added at 04:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:42 PM ----------

Thanks for the correction mate.

My apologies for the same .

Yes you have to flash the rom than reboot and than flash agni.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] magnamentis:
yup

a) yes first of all there are the qualcom and the exynos variants and the exynos variants work worse on my roms

than the much older sgs2 and note1. i will never buy a device with an exynos chip set again, not until it's widely agreed upon

that they are on standards with the qualcomms, while of course aosp roms are for nexus and nexus work with qualcomms :)

not a correction, just another little hint:

if you are using a kernel tweaking app which has some or all settings set on boot, you should not flash rom and reboot and

flash kernel thereafter because depending on rom and app it could be that the app tries to set something which the default rom-kernel

does not have and put you in trouble. worst case but rare would be bricking the phone while bootloops can happen more often while in

most cases the app juts runs empty with it's task, means nothing happens. but as mentioned there is an unnecessary risk.

normaly you flash all in one, rom, kernel, superSU if that's the chosen way and eventually overwritten system apps ( user apps that have been turned into system apps ) xposed if use and/or helper apps that have to be system apps and are overwritten upon rom-flashes.

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] magnamentis:
think

what do you think, that only you would post that the rom does not work. if it would be a rom issue the web would be full of similar posts.

however, this rom is installed on 6 out of 7 of my devices including n7100 ( for others see my signature ) and works flawlessly for many many months with small known bugs in the past which have

always been resolved within short time. of course you can change the rom, perhaps even a more pleasant experience for all others, but you could as well try to find the real culprit instead of posting pure frustration without even considering that it's something on your side and therefore trying to solve the issue which i can promis is on your side.

what ever it is, i update my n7100 to each nightly including today's nightly and it works as good as can be.

Got shifted to Dr. Ketan's Rom

Finally Got rid of CM....

Please make a note that I am not complaining about CM at all. It was a great experiences. :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

But Dr. Ketan's Rom put the User experience into a Level where no other rom can go. :good::good::good::good::good:

On the launcher ? Or lockscreen ?

On launcher you could just try selecting a pic from gallery.

If you mean the lockscreen, go to Themes -> Lockscreen wallpaper , and press remove.

So no milestone for Note 2? Older devices seem to get more support:(
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Andrew0811:
CM11:

battery life is worse,

1. maybe it is because s-pen digitizer is still working even though we insert the pen, Greg from CM11 Jira told me to try this

echo 1 > /sys/class/sec/sec_epen/epen_saving_mode

2.maybe it is because we don't have Samsung DVFS(Dynamic Voltage Frequency Scaling),that is why we face lots of music jitter, and performance jitter also worse battery performance.

the best battery life for Note 2 in my opinion is 4.3 TW rom with some modification:

Devil kernel

Undervolt -100mv

abb +100

not everyone can use that settings though.

edit:

I can clearly reproduce the can't find camera problem:

1. download google camera not the stock cm11 camera from google play store

2.open google camera

3.press home button

4.open google camera again not by task manager but from trebuchet or google now launcher whichever is your default launcher

5.you can see can't find camera.

edit2:

I don't have bluetooth problem, tested with BMW and Mazda car bluetooth.

Battery drainaige on this rom is high
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] :
[MENTION=5372360]magnamentis[/MENTION] : Will you plz comment on these battery issues and instability issues?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] magnamentis:
trying

i don't really know what kind of comment you are having in mind. the only thing i can say that i'm using this rom from day one it was available and except the few known hickups which happen from time to time in nightlies, had only one issue for longer and that was the bluetooth issue which i found my own workaround und thus consider as solved for me, but isn't really ( have tried recently, still there )

however as you are quoting battery issues, i simply don't have them. i go to bed fully chared and when i touch my device the first time in the morning i have something between 1-3% less after 8-10 hours idle. i consider this perfect and far from calling the rom a battery hog. these things are in the configuration and usage pattern of the users and solutions have to be found for each case separately.

i recommend to use tasker, amplify, profiles in system settings and greenify in the right setup and would start with a clean install.

format everyting and start from scratch. if someone says that this is too much work than either his drain is not thaaatttt... big or it's not important enough. of course complaining is easier haha.... but this rom itself is good on battery, this is proven if only some users don't have problems of that kind. after all if a software is a battery hog it is it always and if it's not always it's not the sofware but the setup and config, meaning other apps, settins and combo of those things.

i personally was working for over a year on the battery front to get a stable result on all my devices. stable means that i can buy any device, install my favourite rom and apps, set it up and it will and with the usage mentioned above, while of course what it achievable depends partly on radio signal strenght, cell as well as wifi, number of accounts syncing, what is syncing and other factors. as mentioned each of us has to find his optimum and find a specific setup which once applied is at or close to that optimum result in relation to usage and the above mentioned factors.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] :
Hmm I own two Samsung Smart Cafe stores in my town. I have already tried the things you told long back with four different Note 2's but in vain. Hence I decided to give up. Was just quoting you for others.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] magnamentis:
if you like tell me about your problem in detail and as much as you can about your config so to perhaps find a solution for you. i mean i use this rom on 6 out of 7 devices and battery drain is not one of the flaws with any of them.

so i will gladly assist with this a bit more specifically related to your configuration if you like, but then i need a lot of info, can post a file for me to download. just perhaps this might be interesting for others, so use attached files or containers to not fill pages, but still make the content available to others.

else should you definitely have given up, ok, main thing is that you have a well running Note ll :)

Hello, in there any news on the CM12 for the N7100? I would love to start testing it. I hope it does not take as long as cm11 took.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] MathewBrack:
Profiles issue?

I don't know if anyone else is having the same issue or if I am missing something obvious

I have 3 volume profiles set up through cm

Night: Alarm 7/7, all other volumes 0, ring mode Mute, no other settings altered

Uni: All volumes set to 0, ring mode vibrate, no other settings altered

Home, all volumes max, no other settings altered

when I change from one profile to "Uni" the media volume does not change and neither does alarm volume

e.g. from home to uni, media volume will remain at 15/15 and alarm at 7/7

and from night to Uni, alarm will remain at full

ringtone, notifications and ring mode change fine and changing from night to home works fine, it just appears to be the uni set up as an exact replica under the same name achieves the same results

any suggestions? :)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] magnamentis:
ok

- as to why i feel compelled which was not really it, now that you say it i can just say that i know why, which is enough to do it :) JK

- i accept and respect your detailed distinction as to how to use your thanks, if you could express your opinion with a more friendly tone

..but at least without sarcasm and aggression that's fine with me. just do things your way but the result is obvious, so many posts with

..so few thanks like in your case i've rarely seen so it's obviously not only me, just that others prefer to keep it for themselves.

..just want to mention here that my post was in a measured tone and by no means aggressive or humilating etc.

since the thanks button is there for a reason it is indeed helpful to the forum and for those who try to be helpful if in "extreme cases"

someone is giving a hint in that direction. i do this once a month average only and you are the first who shoots back instead of

feeling cought and at least to agree to something which is a simple fact and the meaning of the thanks button.

finally i did not just mention about thanking to my post, no, you thanked to no-ones post at all and your questions were

good and thus asking for know-how which again, if replied to should be appreciated.

that's it, no more comments from my side to this getting OT issue, was just a friendly reminder with a bad outcome, sorry to all the others

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] jcrompton:
This entire interchange is ridiculous --- and it all started because you thought I should thank someone for sharing an experience. If you review either of my "question" posts in this thread they are both asking for experience and not knowledge and IMO did not require thanks - especially just asking for other's experience re daily usage of a ROM or mods that NEITHER of us spent one second developing!

The appropriate thing to do (by FAR) would have been to NOT reply at all if you didn't like the question or post ... the inappropriate thing to do is offer etiquette advice in a technical forum when all I did was ask for other's experience! Your initial post accomplished nothing and was derogatory and inflammatory in a passive aggressive way. If you want to offer advice then volunteer in a foster home or school ....

I will report this to the mods so they can clean it up as it probably has wasted valuable space

Hey guys. the M6 snapshot has been released for our device.

I'm running it right now and it seem all is good.

However, there are a few bugs that have been giving me some headaches for a long while:

1. Music stutters and skips when screen is off.

This really pisses me off, since i'm a bit of an audiophile and having my music skip and stutter every few secconds (aprox. 10-20 secconds apart). Anybody know what causes this or haow to fix it? BTW my music is encoded in aac (m4a) at 128kbps and im running poweramp with VIper4Android sound mod.

2. Battery life with screen on.

Seeing as how his is not a touchwiz based ROM (obviously), there is no setting to disable the S-pen detection on the screen and enable S-pen power saving mode. What this means is that the device is constantly listening for the S-pen and waiting for input from it. This uses more battery than just having the screen on. I remember screen on times on Touchwiz were way better than what I'm getting now on CM11...

I've asked everywhere to no avail, but does ANYBODY know how to disable the S-pen digitizer when the pen is inserted into the phone like in Touchwiz?

Something like some script to modify or add, something in the build.prop, ANYTHING.

I found this site (https://gitorious.org/replicant/device_samsung_n7100/commit/c1935baa9297523af64c2c0c57656ab543e5b182) with some code that seems to do what I want, but I have no idea how to get that into the phone...

Please help, these two things are driving me crazy, almost to the point of returning to Touchwiz.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Mjuksel:
I don't think TWRP is compatible with updater. It needs CWM i think (or philz since that's CWM based)

Anyone tried the Snapshot yet? I'm about to go flash it.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] magnamentis:
workarounds

a) increase readahead buffer size to at least 1024mb

b) increase audio buffer size in you music app if it has that setting, if not consider an good music app which

....allows for perfect setup to circumvent soft and hardware bugs and issues.

c) choose another cpu-governor, performance would work but is a battery sucker thus interactive would be fine

... there are others, just google a bit about governors to find out which one you have available with your kernel

... and which of them would help to get rid of stutters without draining the battery excessively ( I'm on DEADLINE )

... if you choose a custom kernel you would have plenty of choice like interactive and others. else you could make

... a tasker script which would activate one governor if the music app is running or similar condition and go back to

... cfq or any other governor when leaving a certain environment and/or condition.

d) play with i/o schedulers ( i'm using FIOPS )

a) i'm sure there are others but GMD app from the playstore has a checkbox to deactivate s-pen while docked

I've heard so many people about this, i can't reproduce it on my phone though.

Am on nightly before the Snapshot, using Google Play Music and my MP3's are 192 to 320 kbp/s.

About the S-Pen stuff, you're right, something has to be implemented for this.

I don't use the S-Pen at all, but a fix would be in place.

I'm guessing the code you posted, has to be added in the Settings.apk file ? (not completely sure here)

Try decompiling it, and look for the files. I will do so myself aswell.

(Also can't we do this with Tasker or something? Or maybe an Xposed Module)
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] lgil25:
THANK YOU!!! changing the read-ahead values fixed the skipping and stuttering completely! :victory:

I'll give that GMD app a look and see how well it works. I'll post my findings after some testing.

I wish I knew, I found that code after searching Google for solutions...

I know absolutely nothing about developing for android, though I'm tempted to learn how to.

Let us know if by chance you figure out where that code goes :)

Creating something in tasker shouldn't be that dificult if we knew what the scripts are that control the S-pen digitizer.

magnamentis mentioned the GMD S-pen Control app in the play store has a setting to disable the pen when docked so I'll check it out to see if it works.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Mjuksel:
Already checked the S-Pen Control App.. Does not have this setting anywhere.

didnt look close enough D:

Also downloaded APK Multi Tool to decompile the Settings.apk, but got errors there.

Next week i'm off work for 6 days, so i can spend some time working on making that work.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] lgil25:
mmm I checked out the app and under where it says S Pen Attach I selected Action -> Samsung Note Actions -> Disable Touch Input.

There's also a little checkbox that says Disable SPen Control on attach.

Havent tested it out enough to see if it makes a diference.
