Some issues

Love the ROM thanks for all the hard work.

I was hoping that this would fix my GPS problem. No Joy. GPS had previously worked perfectly (never had a problem getting a near-immediate lock) but now, nothing. I had the Cyano ROM, upgraded the radio, etc., -here are my issues -

1. ROM Manager (premium) won't boot into recovery - it just hangs. I kind of like that feature.

2. OTA doesn't work - but I kind of didn't expect it to since I used Outler's Casual method for rooting/preventing Verizon OTA's.

3.There are a few FC errors on boot (Event Notification, S Planner, com.sec.android.app.FlashBar) and some that repeat (android.process.acore) every 5-15min.

4. I try to shut down and it just reboots... won't stay shut down. (have to remove battery)

5. No GPS lock (as mentioned) - I've tried GPS apps like GPS Fix, GPS Status - no joy

6. When the ROM first loads 4GLTE shows on the status... but later it goes away...for good. No idea what level I'm on 1x, 2x or 3g?

Any ideas on the GPS? That's critical for me. I've run GPS Status, reset it, waiting for half an hour (clear view of sky) for a lock - no joy.

On each install, I have done a wipe data/factory reset - wipe Dalvik, wipe Cache

I use Clockworkmod recovery 6.0.4.3

Help? Suggestions?

Try twrp and wipe internal memory as well.

I move the r3ds s5 port ROM to here http://xdaforums.com/note-2-verizon/development/4-4-2-i605-r3ds-port-s5-v3-0-blk-rom-t2836567

Got GPS back:

So far the only thing that sort of works is to restore to 4.1.1 - where I got in INSTANT GPS lock inside my house - (leaving kernel and radio alone) and then install the ROM over the top (dirty/clear cache only) reboot and then go back into recovery and install gapps 4.4.4... GPS is working albeit slowly.

Jeff

*UPDATE* After I wrote the last update, I installed PHILZ recovery, then started from scratch using the option in recovery for factory wipe/install a new ROM. Then I installed LiquidSmooth 3.1. Keep in mind I had restored to 4.1.1, then dirty installed a TW ROM from this thread. Then I installed Philz recovery did the full wipe and installed LiquidSmooth. Now my GPS works PERFECTLY as before (quick lock even inside my house) and I have no other FC issues. Hope this helps someone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JoeyDVDZ:
So 3.2 seems to be working flawlessly on my N2, with one odd exception; when I hit the OTA updater after installing 3.2, the updater says I'm using an unsupported ROM. Something about rom.ota.prop missing.

Weird?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fkfmfz:
I need to fix that. The next update will have to be done manually.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fkfmfz:
Check ROM OP in other thread for v3.3 download link.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JoeyDVDZ:
Great work sir. All is good now, the ROM updater recognizes the rom as valid now. Thank you!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] z71kris:
I noticed a white background for things like the sms app, Google music app are two that I can think of off the top of my head. Here is a sample with the red circle around it. Is there an easy way to change that?

Thanks.

Well I can't figure out how to edit from tapatalk for some reason, but I'm running 3.3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
That needs to be edited in the apk itself. One the text colors needs to be changed, i am sure [MENTION=2564710]fkfmfz[/MENTION] will fix it..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fkfmfz:
I'm on v3.3 and I don't have those bugs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] z71kris:
That's wierd, I wonder why mines like that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thecensor:
From my experience the battery charging issue improved once I went through a few charging cycles from an AC source.

One question just to make sure, will this rom lock my bootloader? what if I do an OTA after installing this?

thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JeramyEggs:
This ota if for the rom, not the Verizon update. It allows updates to the rom. It has nothing to do with corporate updates. You have to have an unlocked bootloader to flash the tom, and it doesn't effect it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] athack:
Just did the ota3.3 like it but after the update my top line in messaging can't be read. ..anyway to fix it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] z71kris:
Like a few posts up? #694?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] athack:
Yes exactly the same problem. ..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fkfmfz:
That is very strange. Are you using a xtheme aswell, is hard for me to fix that if I don't have the same issues to pinpoint the image or text color.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] athack:
No I'm not using any theme at all... was fine until today when I flashed the 3.3... no other changes to the rom....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] z71kris:
Same here no theme that I have added, just stock s5. It happened when I OTAed 3.3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] athack:
I dirty flashed the blacked out version of this rom then flashed the ota3.3 update and problem is gone...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] blotus:
stock first?

is it necessary or recommended to flash the debloated vzw stock rom in op first before moving to the main event so to speak?

thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Nope.. Flash away
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] akroeger1984:
Can I set this rom for 240 dpi in build.prop and have it work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Possibly.. Somethings may break..better off using xposed and AppSettings
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
The biggest issue with doing that is the tw launcher itself. Your widgets, keyboard, dialer and such will all be displayed weird. Like stated above your best option is exposed and setting your 3rd party apps to 240 dpi.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rayden25:
I just installed this a few days ago, clean, with latest CWM Recovery. I have no GPS... is there a fix?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] psouza4:
Same scenario and issue here. GPS Status and Tools never acquires a fix. Tried TopNTP to no effect. Works fine on my Note 3 so it's not the location. Any hope for a fix? No GPS/location is a dealbreaker.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] crash613:
probably an incredibally basic question, so sorry for that ... but you guys keep talking about OTA to 3.3 or whatever.. where do i do this from? I have been on Beans for a long time. There was something in the settings that let you do similar there. I do not see anything in the settings about ota. what does the 3.3 even refer to? according to the "ABOUT" in the phone i am on Build 8.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] crash613:
sweet!! HOLO please!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pgzerwer:
Can hardly believe how quiet this and the N3bula thread are considering we are about to see the biggest Android system update since December. By now there are usually dozens of ETA requests and even more people telling people to stop asking for ETAs. Either we are actually growing up a bit or most people have not yet heard about this leak. Anyway, really looking forward to what is coming next!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Numzi:
They have the offical OTA already and are working on that. I think a couple posts ago, L18 said he was uploading it as they've gotten it deodexed and knox removed already. Telling you this so you don't work hard for nothing. :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dtroup64:
Haven't yet gotten my computer to recognize my phone when in download mode. I'm ready with fastboot as soon as I can get that done— then I'm all over this! Thanks again. You guys are awesome!

Nah I didn't. Was just trying to help.

m8

Your right. I can upgrade but I cant decide what to get. M8, or wait for note 4, or.. I dont know. I just keep using the note2 and it keeps working great.. mostly due to these guys hard work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] icedventimocha:
Wait for the Note 4. Almost got the M8 as well but felt like it was a downgrade after playing with it.

Are those in the current download, or a future release?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] krowley3:
It will be present in the next release. We are working hard on it now. It is coming along nicely. No ETA, but it should not be long.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] funnyperson1:
I'm downloading it right now, but I wanted to clarify before backing up and flashing. Is the file that lacoursiere just uploaded based on the ND7 VZW dump or is it still an N7105 ND3 port? I was confused because it still says PORT everywhere.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RemnantKing2:
Am I the only one that noticed the update or something? :x

Downloading now, only thing stopping me from downloading it before were the SMS and MMS bugs. I can deal with NFC and Bluetooth not working assuming they dont, but I dont see why they wouldnt.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] krowley3:
Bluetooth works fine:D Haven't tested NFC myself.

I dont remember which issue this applies to but I had trouble with using a USB 3.0 port and the pc not recognizing the device, luckily i had one USB 2.0 port and that cleared it all up.

does the boot process take an inordinate amount of time?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WhiteEVO:
I think it does, I've been sitting at the SAMSUNG boot screen for awhile...the blue led is pulsating :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gammaxgoblin:
md5's match but its just sitting at the SAMSUNG screen...not looping....unless first boot takes 10 minutes im not sure whats wrong.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gammaxgoblin:
im pretty sure something is wrong, im gonna try to wipe everything and reboot...

wiped caches, data and dalvik....rebboting now at 451pm MST
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JoeyDVDZ:
You. Guys. F'in. RULE!

Thanks for your hard work gentlemen. Backing up my current setup now, cannot wait to flash this!!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Tlingitsoldier:
I'm interested to know this as well. I'm downloading the one labeled "N7105_PORT_NEW_VZW_4.4.2_DUMP_FINAL.zip". It's no big deal to me, as I don't mind waiting for L18 and gang to get things working properly. My guess is that I'm downloading the last rom based on the port that they're going to release, and the dump will be coming in the next day or so :fingers-crossed: like they hinted at.

And as always, great work guys! I knew that if anyone could do this, it would be your team! Thanks for keeping my Note 2 running like a champ!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WhiteEVO:
Same here
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gammaxgoblin:
this leads me to believe this is a done deal (except mine wont boot)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Tlingitsoldier:
Also, possibly dumb question, but with the new versions flying through hot and fast, can they be flashed over the top of each other? Or is there a certain point that they will need a fresh wipe?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WhiteEVO:
Did full wipe, including internal, still no boot. I'm sure the guys will get it figured out. ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JoeyDVDZ:
It took several minutes to get to the configuration setup screens; patience. Worst case, go back, wipe everything again, and re-flash. I wiped cache, dalvik, internal storage, system and data. Twice. Then did a factory reset to be sure.

Works like a beauty, guys! Good job!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Check the zip for me.. Is the contents META and system?

Or a folder?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DMardroid:
Is there a recommended recovery to flash with?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] funnyperson1:
It's the nd3 port, I went ahead and bit the bullet.

GPS isn't working for me. No satellites found at all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] krowley3:
That is still WIP. It may require the boot.img that will come with the OTA. We were not able to dump that from the person who already got the OTA because we were not able to root it. We have made some changes to kick it on without luck so far. We are still working on it though. Priority was fixing sms/mms and other little bugs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikelikesbikes:
Same here. I think its just a characteristic of a international ported ROM. Never been able to get any satellites on them. I think it varies by device. Some will be able to get a lock. I've never been able to.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidhunger:
Yes no GPS lock, but for me strangely whenever I try to mess around with gps fix app or with Google maps navigation I don't get a lock and the device soft reboots itself..

Not a deal breaker..

Awesome work guys. . You're the best :D:D:D:beer::beer::beer:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Tlingitsoldier:
Same for me. No GPS lock. SMS works for me, but when I try to use Hangouts as my default messaging app, it crashes every time I open the message. Hangouts crashes I mean, not the phone. As long as a version gets released soon that has the GPS working properly, this works well enough to keep it, rather than restoring my backup. Can't wait for that nd7 version! :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JoeyDVDZ:
Just experienced that myself. Went to maps to see if GPS would come on & got a soft reboot. Weird.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WhiteEVO:
I still cant get it to boot passed the samsung screen.

Expanded Volumes

So I don't know if this is a bug, or just the way it works in this rom; when I press the volume key, I get the volume for whatever application I'm in (phone, media, etc.), but when I press the settings button next to it, I don't get the list of volumes to change. The only thing it does is remove the settings gear icon, and expand d the volume bar slightly.

I've always been able to click that and change the volume for anything since I got this phone, as far as I can remember, regardless if whether it was the stock rom, or N3bula.

Let me know if there's anything I can do to help with this, or if that's the way it's supposed to be, then that's fine. Just wanted to point out something that seemed off. :)
