Solid and stable rom so far!!

OK guys. .. been running this rom all day and loving it! Great work again L18 and the gang!

For those having issues.... I downloaded de-bloated and updated SU zip files and placed them on the sdcard. Booted into recovery (twrp 2.6.3), wiped cache, dalvik, internal, system and data... turn I did a factory wipe, installed rom and rebooted. I waited while the Samsung logo flashed. .. you have to be patient. I didn't time it but it was maybe 5 minutes. .. remember it's doing a lot of work in the background building the file structure that makes up the os. Then I went thru the process of signing into Google, Dropbox and Samsung. .. all my apps automatically reinstalled by Google backup. After everything was done I rebooted and installed SU. I am profiting! !!☺

Things that are working. .GPS, WiFi, sms/mms, Bluetooth... everything so far is working. No FC's and battery life is good as well. I'm getting a better signal strength than my fiancé's S3. :good:

By any chance do you have the link for SU?

GPS is now working again! I flashed the GPS fix, once booted back up I opened GPS status and nothing. Been working on my phone for the past few hours and noticed the location icon went solid, fired up GPS status and it locked in 3 seconds.

No clue what I did...

EDIT: now it don't work. Must have been a freak connection. .. only thing that has changed did since it locked was switch between wifi access points.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Thumprxl:
It's in the download section of the OP. Under the rom download links.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DrunkUncas:
I clean flashed twice.

Couldn't get my GPS back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] puritan007:
After my head smacking morning I clean wiped with twrp7 all but external sd. I installed my same md5 bloat version 5, then booted and set up the prelim, still had one media stopped but then rebooted installed su 1.99, reboot, everything seemed to work let play store update and re download all apps instead of using titanium, reboot, install fixes, s5 stuff, reboot, then only used titanium to restore data for certain important to me apps. Now going on 4 hours with everything working great. Here's some proof. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DrunkUncas:
So I got my GPS back, and you guys aren't going to like how I did it. I accidentally dirty flashed over Trent's.

Swype went crazy (of course), and so did wifi direct share, but otherwise, things are dandy.

I'll post any further errors as they occur.

ETA: GPS dead again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ElDuez:
My phone is not waking up sometimes with AGNI flashed. I've had to do 4 battery pulls today.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
WeLloyd you know your problem then. .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Please don't report things like this.. it leads to people doing or trying this.. never dirty flash anything when testing something..

This report does not help anyone..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] firewater88:
Went to bed last night with GPS status running, woke up to this.

Apparently Found good signal someone over night but can't hold it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
When you say that it stops or dies.. us it just that you a not locking on to satellites.. do the satellites pop up though? Like in you pic you have 130th/21.. when you say it dies does it just say 0/21? If so that is still having gps you are just not lock get bc your inside or somewhere that can't lock.. for clarification
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] firewater88:
Almost every time I pull up GPS status it never gets any satelites. Can sit there for a long time waiting for location. Overnight it must have gotten signal but you can see that in the pic it's still waiting for location in morning when I turned phone on. It seems random when it gets a lock but does not keep lock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Just bc that spinner is stating "Looking for GPS" doesn't mean you don't have GPS loll.. you need to look at the 13/21.. or if it is 0/21.. that is what tells you it is locking..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Thumprxl:
I miss the transparent accuweather widget tho. Will the ones for 4.3 work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikelikesbikes:
ROM is running very well. Had 2 force closes, one was the browser and the other was the superuser app after flashing the zip file. Still not able to elevate to root either.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fkfmfz:
Use this su v1.9.3http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358537935 flash in recovery. Then update su from playstore. That should fix it.

I can only assume so but see no mention. Is wifi hotspot opened up on this ROM yet?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RemnantKing2:
Just a weird thing I noticed when you toggle things either on or off.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] puritan007:
lol

mine does this too, however for only a brief moment then it switches to ON. you have to look really close to even notice it. It was more noticeable when I turned on the hotspot.

That guy up there is in a building and saying he doesn't have gps is what I see from his picture. When i didn't have GPS on the original build it was 0/0 forever. now I go out into a field and it gets 15/19 in a few seconds every time.

I was actually getting random playstore download and update crashes and a few other seemingly random crashes still until I put on exposed module KK GAPPS crash fix. Just FYI. Now everything runs perfectly. (that and an exposed 240dpi fix for note 2 because I prefer 240dpi but that isnt here nor there)

Thank you so much for all the work on this rom I love it so far, and I know you guys will make it even better in the future! TY TYTYT

If you can't respect the developers wishes maybe you should not post at all, or feel free to use a different Rom? Everything worked fine for me following the op once I finally wiped everything but external sd.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DrunkUncas:
If reciting passages from the Necronomicon gets broken features of a ROM working for people, it should be posted.

There are far too many variables to stick strictly to the scientific method. This is about finding solutions to get guys' phones working.

Dirty flashing has been used for many years, over many ROMs, to fix GPS issues. I wouldn't have posted it, if it didn't work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Thumprxl:
Thanks for the tip. I like it!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Thumprxl:
Just wondering if air command and some other stuff will be added to the list of things working? I briefly looked but everything out there is 4.3 or less. For the lack of time I was going to nano and try some stuff but figured you guys would already know if it works or not. Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Hindle1225:
I'm glad you brought that up. I've become so familiar with air command now. .. At this point I won't run a rom without it.

I'm not too familiar with Hotspot tethering (I do not pay extra for it and I am still on unlimited data plan), but I tried using the rom's built in option with my WiFi only Tab 3 and it worked right away. I didn't get any prompts or page re-directs. Should I have expected something else?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] firewater88:
Yesterday I sat in an open parking lot waiting for GPS connection and never got it. No I wasn't around tall buildings. Drove for an hour and no gps speed was being reported and no lock on satelites happened.0/0 sats found. Stopped for some grocieries, used a check in app and got location. Then I had gps lock and speed reported to my apps.

I'm not crazy, something is happening to my gps lock from time to time and was only reporting here to help others and maybe figure out what was happening.

Air command... thanks to L18.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] drahpatel02:
hi, little confusion, which rom has air command? toltevz or s5feat-rd3s

thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
None of them.. We will be updating N3BULA when we are finished testing things..

specifics

OK. I don't remember seeing the specifics. such as, did you wipe with the newest TWRP everything but the external card? *some of us do this 3 times each* (advanced wipe select everything except external SD card) Did you confirm an MD5 match? Are you using bloated or de bloated? did you then let it sit for a while after boot? did you then set up your google account, then reboot and install SU? *at this time I would put on the fixes for SD card* From your post I don't know any of these things. YOu did mention clean install, however you don't mention anything else that might be helpful for trouble shooting your issue.

I think if a few hundred other people *400 some downloads so far* have gotten gps working perhaps its something you did differently. Part of the reason I said that you must be inside was your statement that it got lock while you were asleep. Unless your phone is in window with a great view of the sky, or you left it out in a field I assumed you were in a building.... also the picture you posted showed your phone finding satellites just not connecting, which mine does in buildings.

I was in a grumpy mood when I wrote that, however I do come to these forums with the intent of helping people. If I don't know all the steps you have tried so far then I don't feel I can help you out. It took me 4 tries to get this rom *bloated version though* running perfectly and I have mentioned I had to use a KK GAPPS fix I got from XPOSED. I know only 100 or so people have tried the bloat version so far, and I have no idea if I am the only one with that issue or not. The only thing I did differently on the 4th try to get the rom working right was wiping everything instead of just doing the factory restore wipe.

Anyway, good luck with it. I might also mention that I tried the stuff on this page http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s4/761247-gps-fix-dummies-guide.html and found it to be slight improvements on GPS lock speed and such.. if that helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chipsa964:
I actually have air command up and running. I flashed the bloat version over the newest N3bula, then the S5 version over that, and I still have air command working.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
I am just going to ignore this..This is NOT how to do things appropoately.. You basically are flashing whatever on whatever.. You have a mutt as a ROM right now..lolll
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chipsa964:
I realize it's not the recommended method, and I always clean flash if I experience any issues at all. But so far, I have experienced zero issues. Not a single fc, no GPS issues, and things actually work better and are smoother than before. It's just saving me time from setting everything back up again.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gcounts:
I understand why you did it but there are others that will duplicate what you have done and have trouble. When they have trouble they will post here and not admit they dirty flashed. This will cause the devs to respond to help as they always do. Then after hours of work trying to work out someone's problem the devs ultimately find out the person dirty flashed. It's a waste of time for our beloved team to chase problems that they shouldn't have to. I dirty flash sometimes but keep it to myself for this very reason. You might have a lot more experience than the person reading your post. I'm not flaming you in any way just sayin is all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chipsa964:
I hear ya. Yea I've been flashing since the GS1, but I should probably keep the dirty flashing to myself. I always clean flash before I post with any issues, but I'll keep my methods private from now on.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikelikesbikes:
Just flashed the S5 version and been running it all day. The only issues I can report is a couple storybook force closes when using the camera so I turned it off since I never use it anyway. Also the spen function of circling things to "cut" it force closes every time for me. Everything else so far is great. Oh and I had root without having to do anything fancy besides flashing the superuser zip. Thanks for the ROM guys.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fkfmfz:
Fixed that and settings search forceclose. Also added s5 multi window and some other stuff.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Thumprxl:
Rocking the R3Ds version and so far I'm liking it a lot! Air command is working and the theme is sweet! Thanks again fkfmfz!!!

You probably had that fixed before I even mentioned it. Looking forward to it being dropped. I am still so unbelievably stoked that I have GPS lock on an international ROM.

Still can't get it to boot

I've been flashing roms since the Tmobile G1 days so I'd like to think I know how to flash a rom lol. Any help would be much appreciated though, as I've yet to get this 4.4.2 to boot. Just keeps sitting at the pulsing samsung boot logo. So here's what I've tried so far.

*Unlocked Bootloader, Not SafeStrap.

*MD5's have matched on every rom I've downloaded (the first test port, build 5 original, build 5 bloat and debloat, R3D's 1.4 and 1.5, Haven't seen link for 1.6 yet, although I've read successful tests about it from recent posts, EDIT** just read 1.6 is in the OTA from within the rom, lol figures why I haven't seen it)

*Newest TWRP and Philz (as well as the older versions of each that I've used previously without issue - 4 in total)

*Wiped everything except External SD 3+ times, numerous times.

*Tried Installing from External and Internal SD locations.

*Let sit for 30+ mins trying to boot almost every time, (after falling asleep once waiting for it to boot, I woke up to it sitting in on the TWRP homescreen lol. Never had that happen before)

I keep flashing back to Trent's rom periodically to respond to any missed calls or texts but I've been trying since this thing was released and I've got nothin. Sorry for such a long post but I thought I'd be detailed about it. If someone could help me out and maybe shed some light in a different area that would be much appreciated :highfive: :fingers-crossed:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gammaxgoblin:
I, along with one other, had this problem as well. I ended up using odin back to 4.1.2 then rooting/boot unlock with casual, then reflashed this and it worked.....This sounds exactly like the problem I had....hope this helps!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nlysurferdude03:
Thanks for the reply! Exactly the shed of light I was lookin for. I hadn't even thought of that! I'll give it a shot when I have some more time later today. Thanks again much appreciated man! :victory::highfive::eek:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gammaxgoblin:
np, no reason anyone else should have to go through 6 straight hours of fruitless frustrating flashing, although it sounds like you already have!

Oh and MAKE SURE TO UPDATE YOUR RECOVERY, THE TWRP THAT COMES WITH CASUAL IS 2.5 AND TOO OLD TO WORK!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JoeyDVDZ:
That's really weird that so many of you are having this problem... So far I do the squeaky clean install every time, and so far have not had issue #1 booting this ROM, in any of its incarnations.

I am suffering kind of crappy battery life, but I suspect that'll smooth out once the ROM settles a bit.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deeked:
This is how I was up and running

TWRP 2.7.0.1

Wipe evening but external sd (3× if you must)

Reboot recovery (Do not install SU when prompted)

Flash Rom

Boot 4.4.2 and go through setup

Reboot recovery and flash SU package from OP

Profit

In case anyone was wondering... Tap and Pay does work :)

I don't know if it was mentioned before, but I went out for a run and stopped by my local Walgreens and tried it out. Next time, I won't even bring my wallet :)

Yay! (And F-U Verizon for having me wait 2 years after I already had this working on my Galaxy Nexus).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gammaxgoblin:
Yea, Im confident that this isnt a procedural error and there is nothing wrong with the rom (since im on it now and most had no problem flashing it). I couldnt begin to guess at what the issue is, I just know that most of us know how to flash roms and have done so successfully hundreds and hundreds of times.....just one of those things....ive chosen to say that some there was some sort of muck that got stuck in there somewhere that the odin process removes and refreshes!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nlysurferdude03:
Exactly my process usually as well, but still was not working, even on TWRP 2.7.0.1. The rom flashes fine but the boot never completes so I can't continue to setup.

JoeyDVDZ, my thought too. I usually have no issue as I've been doing this for quite some time now. This is the first time I've ever had this much hassle just trying to get a rom up and running.

gammaxgoblin, yes, many many hours over the span of the past few days. But, trial and error is how you learn things, right? :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rufflez2010:
I had issues with CWM. Would not complete a flash. Re-downloaded, same thing. I then flashed the latest TWRP and using the same file flashed no problem. I even dirty flashed build5 over the first build I had working and no issues. GPS is great, NFC great, wifi (good--hoping for a new radio soon), 4G good-great, Bluetooth great. Thats pretty much all I've tried so far. Battery life seems decent with screen off... tends to drain faster than I'm used to with screen on, I'm going to say that is definitely due to stock kernel vs pretty much any other kernel.

I only wiped dalvik, cache, and data, nothing else.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nlysurferdude03:
I'm flashing back to 4.1.2 with odin atm. I tried philz which is what i was on since nebula first came out because thats the only recovery that I could get to boot it. Since I ran into this problem with this 4.4.2. I updated to the newest philz, then tried the newest TWRP, then tried an older version of TWRP that I had used before even trying philz. All came to the same exact thing, Rom flashed fine every time, but wouldn't boot past the samsung bootlogo. I hadn't odin'd back to a fresh start since I got the phone shortly after it came out so upon previous suggestion by gammaxgoblin, a fresh start it is!! :) currently booting up to stock 4.1.2 now :)

EDIT*** sorry for the thread hijack, but thanks so much for the help and suggestions everyone!! :)
