How do you get that much time with your screen using so little. my screen is always the highest and I only get 12-17 hours depending usage, and sometimes I have to charge during the day if I'm browsing reddit or something. Running the N7105_PORT_NEW_VZW_4.4.2_FINAL build, I think that was the first working build. Also I've always gotten about that this much battery life from my phone. It's not less than before, just less than other people.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] puritan007:
Zero lemon battery, went camping used phone for a flash light via xposed flashlight more than I used anything else. Had my flash light on for probably 2to3 his each night. Kids. But yah zero lemon 9600 or whatever. I'm on bloat v5. It works great now I have gapps kk fix xposed, and kk note 2 240 dpi fix without xposed it was buggy and crashing a lot, with it on for days zero issues, of course I think the debloat version didn't have the issues, either that or they seem to be just me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] z71kris:
That explains it lol...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jakaro:
ALL BOOTED UP.

Thanks man, flashed the 4.3 radio files and TWRP in Odin, then checked my md5 on my rom and it flashed right away, i assume it was an outdated recovery was the reason it wouldnt flash, my download was okay.

thanks a bunch guys.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] athack:
glad your up and running... im sure you will be happy with this rom...

How can I get GAPPS to stop force closing on v1.8? On 1.5 and 1.6, this didn't happen to me at all. I installed XPosed GAPPS 240 dpi crash fix, but can't find the other one that people are talking about.

EDIT: 1.8 is also giving me a UID inconsistent error at every boot. I did not dirty wipe, I formatted twice in philz touch. Any help?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] puritan007:
I have never had that issue but this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2585160 came up on Google. Worth a try. I also have play store fixes which changes my play store density. Hope you get it sorted.

*sigh* I'm ready to get slammed for this one: Been searching trying to find how to remove the home page indicators that appear just above the bottom dock and I can't find it. I know it was mentioned here somewhere but my search skills are failing me today.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Numzi:
Thanks. I tried it, but it didn't work for me. I was able to fix it by formatting /data and /media in philz. It works now with no issues at the moment. Thanks for the help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Should be able to remove it by decompiling the launcher..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] krowley3:
Update uploading now.

More libs added from vzw dump

4 way reboot menu (thanks L18)

A few init.d scripts and build.prop changes

Pin lock fixed (thanks L18)

Google Now "call" and "text" fixed (thanks L18)

Been running a few hours now. Best build yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] athack:
When flashing update do we have to reflash su and external sd fix again too... can we dirty flash over top of the s5 rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] krowley3:
Still have to reflash SU and it does not include the external SD fix. I do not recommend a dirty flash over S5 rom because of the framework/app differences. This is going to be a stock base.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] athack:
So I can just stick with this s5 rom for now cause everything is working great. .. thanks again for am your hard work. .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] naviathan:
I've skimmed, but are there any major issues so far? How's the bluetooth support? Anyone with a Plantronics Voyager Legend give me any feedback?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] krowley3:
On the build I am uploading now, no issues that I can find. We have fixed all reported issues. Rom runs great IMO. This is my daily driver. Wait for the latest update that will be out tonight.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] naviathan:
Sounds good to me. Thank you!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] razortaz18:
Is GPS working for others? I can't get it too work at all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] krowley3:
Update is live

Go get it. It is the Debloated version!!! Check the OP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] athack:
I've been using the s5 version fit 3 or 4 days now not 1 problem with GPS or anything else. ...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JeramyEggs:
You guys are great. L18 coming off vacation, and getting it done is more than any of us would have asked. Can't wait for the newest build.

Edit: Krowley, you have been super solid, thank you as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] naviathan:
Installed and setup and so far...WOW. I am supremely impressed. This ROM is smooth, clean and has the stable feel of a truly stock ROM, but with features and options of an aftermarket ROM. Bluetooth works, which is a first for me with any ROM other than stock. With CM as soon as the latest Google Search update installed I lost all voice function with the headset. It works perfectly with this ROM in both S Voice and Google Search. I'm going to keep working with this and setting up all my stuff, but so far I love what I'm seeing. Thank you to everyone who has contributed. I'm in love with my Note 2 all over again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] vu84:
thanks!! loving the new debloated
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wj_johnson:
Super rom. One problem: when I shut the phone off and plug in the charger, it turns on. I cannot shut it off while plugged in. What gives?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Not sure.. I have had this issue.. not even even sure it did not do it with stock.. but yea
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] viper31573:
On newest build. When I connect to BT in car my ring tone starts playing through car speakers on its own. Anyone know how I can stop this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] krowley3:
I have used this build in my car with BT and never seen this happen. Wouldnt even know where to start.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] viper31573:
It's being played with the music player. Once it connects the music player comes up and I have to manually stop it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wj_johnson:
Does everybody's google now contact calling work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
That was a fix on build 8 should work now =)

And if not please upload a log
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] viper31573:
Think I found my issue. When I downloaded my ring tone from zedge it stored in music player. That still don't explain why it auto starts but I was able to delete them from music player. So there is nothing to auto start now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wj_johnson:
How do you do a log?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] krazykrivda:
Here's my quick but long list of bugs:

BT in car will auto disconnect from phone when call is made or received and reconnect to "phone" right after. Media had no issues

keyboard doesn't switch to handwriting with pen out (and no option to turn on)

Direct input (settings > s pen > direct pen input.. does not work)

One handed operation doesn't work

Annoying drawable image for when u scroll to top or bottom of a list. It's a black box instead of the gradual hue overlay that should be seen designating the end of scrolling in the given direction

Misc settings resetting themselves
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hredder:
Excuse my ignorance what's the difference between build 8 and the red zip. .i just installed build 8..but not sure if i should of installed the other one
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] puritan007:
I don't use my phone as a phone very much, today I learned my speaker phone does not work. Not a big deal just curious if there's a setting I'm missing or something. I'm on the r3ds 1.8 build now.

anyone having issues with tumblr? i have no bugs what so ever besides tumblr force closing everytime

Charging/power off

I can power phone down,plug in charger and phone boots up.Can have phone on charger and power down,then phone reboots,so as it is now phone will always be on when charging,am I missing something?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] vu84:
thats been happening to people on here. not sure why
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bambamishere:
Other than that all seen to be working great!:)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] z71kris:
Yeap same. But I'm on the first stable build still.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Hmm not sure about BT since I don't use it.. Maybe someone else can relate or respond with their findings..

I am using the Note 3 KB now.. and It has the settings for handing writing, although it does not pull up when pen is discharged.. To come to think of it, it did not do that on 4.3 either...

If you are on fkfmfz's build then yes Direct Pen Input does NOT work.. We are in the middle of importing it now..Being a little bit of a PITA.. I have it come up (writing buddy) but when on keyboard it collapses:eek:

I know about the drawable.. I will hunt it down and fix it..

Not sure what your talking about with Misc Settings resetting.. Could you be more specific

Build 8 is more debloated STOCK note 2 experience.. Reds build is S5 apps and features..

Hmm you might want to reflash.. I do NOT have this problem..

If you could provide a log that would be GREAT!

Yes this is known problem.. Not sure if it is kernel related..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jcfitz:
Recommendations

Any special requirements I should consider if I am coming from CM11? Flash back to stock? Flash to a 4.3 build? Just want to make sure I do not mess up my unlock or root status. Thanks in advance and in the future..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] merashallan:
Wifi Tether "No Internet Connection"

When I attempt to wifi tether my pc can connect to the phone but it cannot connect to the internet. I am thinking there is a routing issue. Is anyone else seeing this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] athack:
noticed that you cannot play flash videos with this build... any way around this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] krazykrivda:
Thanks for covering my concerns! And to clarify the keyboard pen issue:

When keyboard is open in qwerty and pen is pulled it use to switch to handwriting auto. This no longer occurs.

Also, can you add a bug list or bugtracker to OP. I didn't mean to sound like a brat complaining, just wanted to point out some quirks i spotted out for other users. Most aren't a deal breaker (although if someone can confirm BT phone issues that'd be great)

Thanks again for all the input and hard work. Awesome ROM

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] razortaz18:
Same here. I want to use this ROM. It's great, but not working GPS is a deal-breaker.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobysnack:
Yes you can use dolphin browser with a hacked flash.apk http://www.mediafire.com/download/p2tp0h8xy8o7f86/KitKat.Adobe.Flash.Player.11.1.apk go to settings in dolphin and turn flash to always on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] athack:
Thanks for the reply but still didn't work. . Installed apk.. turned to always on. . rebooted but now just getting black screen where the video should be playing. .. does the apk have to be moved to a certain folder? ....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobysnack:
Make sure you have the most current version of dolphin with jetpack 11.1.1. Sorry I forgot to mention that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] athack:
No problem. .. still no luck unfortunately. ..

One of the all time great roms for the Note 2...but GPS is a must for a daily driver for me. Alas I will have to wait for a fix backed up and back on Omni for now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] firewater88:
I have tried every version of this rom and GPS does not work all the time for me. Must be the phone, I'm now running the leaked version of 4.4.2 and have not had a single GPS hiccup. Very solid thus far. My phone must not like international ports.

These devs are doing a great job at keeping this phone alive and adding in great features. Thanks guys!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ztotherad:
Does anyone know how long the phone is supposed to take to boot up into the ported kitkat rom? Mine's probably been sitting on the same "Samsung" screen for 5-10 minutes now...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sting5566:
It seems like each phone is different but mine took a good 6-8 minutes the first time.

If we apply 1 of the 3 themes... on our home screen options. .. if we want to go back to the way it was do we have to reflash the room?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wj_johnson:
Any hits on Google now dialing fc? I am on S5 1.8 rom. I did a clean install.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Yes it is already fixed in the next build..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wj_johnson:
Awesome job guys. When is it dropping?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] puritan007:
flash, gps, etc

Thanks guys. I don't normally try to make flash work, but I saw what you were saying, tried it, and it works!

I was still having media error I mentioned earlier. That other person with that problem said they used Philz to partition media... so I had some spare time so I did that, Here is how it went down...

step 1 Install philz touch.

step 2 copy everything from my sd card to computer

step 3 format sd card, and everything on the phone *except boot and radio*

step 4 copy everything back to sd card

step 5 installed r3ds 1.8 FAILED philz hates you

step 6 install TWRP 2701

step 7 wipe everything again just for fun

step 8 install R3Ds 1.8, reboot log in google, said no to restore/backup, let it sit a few minutes

step 9 reboot into recovery, install SD fix and screen unlock fix, even louder volume mod, Super user 1.99, and v1 S5 themer *UI, Touchwiz, email, and a few other things known working. v3 refuses to work... btw and the original link is dead now, googled it.*

step 10 reboot put apps back with titanium

step 11, test everything I can. GPS works, wifi works, installed that flash apk and dolphin +jetpack, Flash works, NFC works,

So I am pretty happy.. well very happy. snappy smooth great win win...

then I decide to try out the 4.4.2 release of AGNI. which worked for two or three reboots.. then froze up on SAMSUNG screen..

re do step 6-11... works works. :) Thanks for all the hard work guys I love this rom, 4.4.2 is much faster and smoother than 4.3!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xanderharris86:
So maybe I'm missing something (I probably am...) but even after using the external sd card fix, I can't access the sd card AT ALL unless I'm in twrp. I know the card is still working because of this, but every time I boot up I just get the "sd card is safe to remove" message. What am I doing wrong?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JeramyEggs:
Sounds like you need to format the so card. I would save everything, and format the card. Though someone with more experience may chime in.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobysnack:
Good luck with the SD card either KK or sdfix killed my sdcard.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] *Madmoose*:
SDFix doesn't touch your SD card. Just changes the rights of your phone to write to it.

I believe it just alters a line or two in the Platform.xml file. WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE I believe. Nothing more than turning the rights on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobysnack:
Yeah I know the issue was everytime I tried to move files to the extsd out would unmount. I think it corrupted the card...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] *Madmoose*:
That wouldn't be SDFix causing that is all I'm saying. Something else happening there. Wouldn't be KitKat either or everyone would be having the problem.

I would lean more towards a bad flash, bad card, or recovery doing something unintended by the user. Unfortunately I've found out the hard way, SD cards don't last forever.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ziococco:
hello guys, I pointed out which version to download? Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rufflez2010:
Any other runners out there? Having issues with Nike+. Everything works for little bit then it just freezes and highjacks the GPS. Reboot the phone and somehow Nike+ service is still holding onto the GPS. Trying to do anything else in the app force closes. On contrast, it works in the Verizon Build perfectly... but not much else works with that build. Lots of force closes and apps that just never make it past a splash screen (like Family Guy).

Love everything else. I'll catch a log for you later if needed. Just finished a 5k and am heading home now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JoeyDVDZ:
Where can I find the volume mod? The one thing I'm not too in love with is how low the volume is on this rom. on N3bula 3.9 it was much louder. I use my phone to play music on my motorcycle while I'm riding, and can't hear it as well as I could on the 3.9 ROM.

Thanks!

I don't belive in this. Take the card to the computer force a full slow format. Hope you have backups. Unless the card went bad somehow you should be able to recover it. Everyone does quick formats even android does quick. I believe in slow is better for things like format.

Signed build 8 is newest most stable debloat stock. R3ds1.8 is working well for me with some s5 features and built in mods most of us are used to so it's up to you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] puritan007:
Well on the hot audio mod they say it doesn't work with 4.4.2. I installed it and it made mine louder so I don't know what to think. Depending on the audio source it can sound bad at max volume in which case I turn it down a click or two and it sounds fine and is so louder still. Other better audios sound fine throughout. That's my 2 cents.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kingamra:
Is this the solution?

My kids were playing with my phone which somehow froze... i battery pulled and rebooted to be stuck on samsung logo...

I recovery booted... wiped all.. still stuck on samsung logo... i wiped and installed all the roms i have on the ad card... slim kats, l18 4.4 stock leak and sky note.. even nanroided back to n3bula... all get hung...

.... and im in iowa with no computer... odin my only savior?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] puritan007:
You need a computer. And yes this is the solution I had to do it once as well back when I tried to go to 4.3 for the first time froze on boot couldn't do anything except Odin with pic to stock reroot, but it's highly recommended to use a computer. I've heard mixed results with mobile Odin.

I had that problem once I cannot remember how I fixed it. I think I had to reflash with a newer recovery after md5 check and wipe everything.... did you try that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] puritan007:
I was laying in bed and I remembered. Can you confirm if you have any space for it to insyall them? when I first went to 4.3 it tried to cache all my pictures from sd card in the phone memory, filling it completely. I had to wipe then reflash and pull sd card out for first boot. It didn't happen to everyone but a few I don't get why.

thanks will try it. i thought just flashing the 4.4.2 kernel would be enough like scooby recommended.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] puritan007:
lol

yeah I know what you mean, the link to the ext sd card fix is at the very top of the page on agni so I imagine he figures people will read it all and download accordingly. I saw a few people ask for more details, but I personally am running R3Ds 1.8 right now, I dont know what is different in skyn3b, If it works well maybe I will try that out next.

GL ":_) :good::laugh::highfive:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] monkeyass408:

Use the agni kernel and mount the SD card as mtp mass storrage. You may have to u mount your SD card with the phone then pull the card then reinsert.
