Not following this rom hence the question. Should be simple yes or no right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] thershope:
1. Yes, full wipe including SYSTEM. This error I got only the first time. Next calls are fine.

2. Oh thats good. But the same app which you are using says - Looking for GPS location for more than 5-10 mins and nothing happens

Will check again in different places and report
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rogersb11:
Ok cool. Still strange tho
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rogersb11:
You are a trooper lol. I plan to update the base. When you flashed with no csc had you wiped? Only relevant on first install for what I need.

No it is not. Canadian
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 32dave:
Yes full wipe using Philz
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Themetnut:
I love this Rom, the only issue I'm having is the battery life is ok but not great, losing about 4% an hour. Not due to wakelocks those seem to be in check, no mdm_hsic_pm0 wakelock, phone is in deep sleep mostly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rogersb11:
First complaint lol. Battery had been awesome for me. What's running?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Themetnut:
That's just it, nothing that I can see it's making it drain, the os isn't doing it, all of the wakelocks are minimal, cpu spy says deep sleep for over 90%. Biggest drain in wld says better battery stats is the most wakelocks but that's minimal as well. I don't know!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rob_z11:
Yes I have done that. Thanks for the suggestions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] shaftspaz:
Side benefit

I had been having issues with group MMS messages not coming through (usually getting the message text, but not the picture). Just checked, and now my group MMS messages are coming through correctly. This is proving to be quite the impressive ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Themetnut:
Here are some screenshots of my battery, using stock kernel sorry for the double picture... but it's draining 3% an hour or more
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
Check your wifi setup closely...as it's running at 100%....all the time...

And take a look at your sync settings that are using that wifi signal...

It could be polling constantly...or trying to sync something that isn't available...

My .02 for now...g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Themetnut:
Ok I turned some sync items off, but can you tell me about this feature? What is the best option here? Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rogersb11:
Mine is on never. Why do you need WiFi if the device is asleep? Lol just sayin
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Themetnut:
The only reason i could see it is if you are downloading something and turn the screen off? Otherwise i hear you! I turned it off let's see what happens!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rogersb11:
I get that. I only turn my WiFi on when I need it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
I set mine to never as well...

It's just better for battery...and wifi running constantly is a battery killer...

Plugged in mode is not bad either...g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] karlkarloff:
Yeah, I set my wifi to only stay on when charging. I have docks both by my bed at night and on my desk at work. Seems to give the best battery life while not maxing out my data plan.

Just throwing my opinion out there, I seem to be getting really good battery life from this ROM. I am still on 1.0, haven't had a chance to flash the new version yet, but I am sure I'll get the same results from it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DoctorQMM:
I keep mine on "Always".... as WiFi pinging is a significantly less battery drain than cell tower (data) pinging... here's a good summary:

http://m.androidcentral.com/android-101-save-battery-keeping-wifi-alive
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
Read the article carefully. ..as it can have the opposite effect depending on signal strength. . And device type. .

Also Remember. ..that the above article was written for gingerbread Era software...

Much has changed inside of devices and code since then. ..not to mention the direction the author was going with regard to wifi switching direction (backward perhaps) and the effects it actually had...g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rogersb11:
2011?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DoctorQMM:
Good point... I failed to notice that article is going on 3yrs. I'm generally on wifi networks 90% of the time and in my experience, get significantly better battery life on wifi vs not. I suspect using wifi networks vs data/gps for location services has a lot to do with that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] vanhung4050:
Version 1.5 is more beautiful than V1.0,but battery drains fastly and spend many Ram.could you tell me how to fix problem ?

Sory for my bad english.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rogersb11:
I haven't had any battery issues here Bud and ram appears to about the same. Not sure how to help you? Clean install?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] nelly_85:
This is my ram usage

This is after a reboot

This is after letting it sit for 9 mins without using it...pretty high usage in my mind.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
[MENTION=390868]nelly[/MENTION]....

Your gonna need to check out some apk's and try to narrow down the big ram users in your app drawer...

Heavy hitters to watch just for example...

Facebook

Twitter

Flipboard

Snapchat

Just a few with major background processes...

Once you investigate a few...it may shed some light on your readings...g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] baristaman:
I was wondering whether it would be possible to get the stock I317M lock screen back? I kind of miss the camera widget.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] def-g:
Awsome ROM!!!!

Fast, Stable and good Battery life. Great Job.

G
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] def-g:
Strange

Noticed that AFTER I install Agni kernel to fix WiFi and flashed the new NF1 modem. Xposed and Wanam disappeared. Any ideas as to why?

G
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jbeef86:
Man after I flashed Agni I had nothing but problems. Lockups and battery pulls by the bunches.

I am not sure how or why but I have WiFi with the old LK7 bootloader. It ran great for about 3 weeks then something happened and my WiFi stopped working. So I flashed Agni and that created all kinds of instability. So I dirty flashed the v1.0 and I am back in business with my WiFi and stock kernel. I did use Zens 4.3 before and did the recommended boot loader fix via Odin after I installed his ROM but I didn't think that fix stuck after installing other roms. You may want to try that procedure before going with Agni.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] vanhung4050:
After rebooted in recovery,cleaned Davik cache and cache,I fix battery drain problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
Bootloader changes persist through all rom versions in .zip format as they generally do not contain the image...

That would explain your bootloader "sticking" over different rom flashes...and also explains your working wifi without Agni...

Only Odin or kies (or OTA) will change the loader image...and only then if it's not the official 4.3 or 4.4 versions respectively....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jbeef86:
Thanks G - that explains it I haven't been on a lot of TW roms but every time I was WiFi was never an issue for me. That was always the best solution since Agni doesn't seem friendly to my phone. The stock kernel is more than sufficient and not one lockup battery pull etc since I dirty flashed the ROM for the stock kernel. Happy about that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rogersb11:
Thanks man. Been busy and unable to respond as quickly or even as much as i like to.

I LOVE agni, will Even be in 2.0 aroma as option but I put some work in on the stock kernel to try and make sure it was as stable as possible and the rom really does run best with it. Glad it appears to have solved your issues. TW really is a different beast
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] chris.l.naish:
Thank you for giving us a choice. I used AGNi kernel for quite some time on TW 4.3.x, but only for the Boeffla Sound support. Back on TW 4.1.x ROMs, I used to use either the NEAK or Adam kernels, because they were pretty much stock-based apart from the Boeffla Sound support. Though that would be awesome to have on TW 4.4.x, I seem to be doing better with the stock kernel this time around as opposed to AGNi, so I really appreciate that SaberKat v2.0 will offer a choice between the two kernels.

Thank you again for an awesome ROM! I'm actually going to give v1.5 another go, using Samsung account sync to preserve the S-Note pictures this time. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rogersb11:
Pull the s note from 1.0 and replace it. I'm going to revert it anyway. New one doesn't play well with the built in features
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] chris.l.naish:
Thanks, but can you confirm that this is as simple as just removing "SNote-1.apk" from /system/app and replacing it with "SnoteT0.apk" and "SnoteT0Provider.apk", ensuring permissions are set to Rw-r-r and rebooting?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rogersb11:
That's it, I swear. Both files and the names stay the same. Any issues just say so
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] chris.l.naish:
Thanks...maybe I understand a little more than I thought, LOL.....I'll let you know how it turns out. :)

EDIT 7/16/14 - Yup, works great! :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rogersb11:
Yep you got it. It's not always that easy lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Striker333:
Great Rom...stable and fast. Battery life has been great. On observation however the voice control announces who is calling along with giving the option to answer or reject. In version 1 I found this wasn't the case. Maybe I missed something. Thanks again for your hard work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] g3minII:
[/COLOR]

I had that too. go to settings/mydevice/accessibility scroll down until you see samsung subtitles (cc) if on turn off, if off turn on then off and reboot. That's what worked for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rogersb11:
Yea I added the unobtrusive pop-up in 1.5 so that's new. Voice can be turned off tho.

Thanks man. I couldn't remember where the option was. ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] def-g:
The Agni Kernel may be causing some issues. But without it is there a WiFi fix? Also on the next update can you add Any App multi window.

G
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rogersb11:
Unless you have 4.3 bootloader or later I think Agni might be it. Yes I plan to change MultiWindow to any app in next version. Meant to this time but must have forgot. I know I was messing with it at one point. Can be added with Wanam tho I believe and I included the app
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] def-g:
Thanks

Thanks for the quick response. Yeah on 4.1.2 Bootloader. Look forward to next updatel.

G
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jbeef86:
Actually I think Zen Arcades Odin package way still applies to get WiFi going without Agni. I was reading his 4.4 stock thread and he listed it as an option still if you don't have the 4.3 bootloader already. Just make sure since I am not 100%.

The link and info is in Zen Arcades 4.3 stock ROM thread. Look at post #2.

Greg or rogersb11 may know for sure if it will work or not.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rogersb11:
Forgot about this. You mean the leaked 4.3 loader?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jbeef86:
Yes that's the one.. I am on my phone and copy and paste is a mystery to me thru tapatalk. I actually think I made a mistake and it's in post #1 of zens 4.3 stock thread.

I haven't had a WiFi issue on 4.3 and above since doing that process.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rogersb11:
Yes the leaked loader does enable WiFi. Has to be flashed through Odin if I remember correctly. I used it before a warranty fix sent me back an updated device with Knox of course
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jbeef86:
Correct about flashing thru Odin.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] toronto309:
can anybody tell me how to change my grid size?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
Correct....the leaked (Knox free) bootloader is the only option we have for getting wifi on 4.3 or 4.4 roms without infecting our phones with official bootloader images...g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] chris.l.naish:
Loaded up v1.5 again this morning, and I retract my prior assessment. 1.5 is awesome! Love the updated Touchwiz launcher and Accuweather Clock+Weather widget so much that I'm switching away from Nova+HD Widgets for awhile. Very nice and smooth so far. No issues as of yet, everything seems to work great. Thanks again for an awesome ROM! :D

And yes - if you remove the newer S-Note file from /system/app and put the older 2 files in there instead, change their permissions to rw-r-r and reboot, the older S-Note app works great also.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] killerocker:
So I read the posts here and the post in the Zen thread regarding bootloader upgrades and I was planning on upgrading from the 4.1.2 bootloader straight to the NE5 (4.4.2) bootloader through mobile odin. Is there anything I should be aware of, specifically if anything will be wiped or such? Thanks in advance!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
Bootloader only ??...or entire stock rom package ??

If you want the ability to use stock kernels...you could use the leaked 4.3 loader and remain Knox free with the ability to downgrade again if needed...

But if you use the official 4.3 or 4.4 loader...you will be stuck there with no way back unless you pay for a bootloader revert service...

No wipe is needed to Change the bootloader in Odin...g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] killerocker:
As per usual greg to the rescue haha. I basically just want to be able charge while the phone is off and use stock kernels so I guess I'll stick with the leaked one like you mentioned. Thanks a lot Greg!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rogersb11:
Easily the best choice. Wise decision???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] killerocker:
Sorry to keep bugging you but I'm just really scared of messing something up. So I downloaded the zip so now I put this into the bootloader slot on Odin and then let it do it's thing? (Desktop odin not mobile)

EDIT: meant PDA not bootloader slot sorry

EDIT 2: Booted up perfectly looks like. Thanks greg and rogers, really appreciate all the help you've given to me day in and day out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rogersb11:
No problem. Sorry, my notifications haven't been working right the last few days. Glad it worked out
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] killerocker:
All good man, just excited to try out your work in its full glory now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
You won't be disappointed....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rogersb11:
Sweet. Don't get me wrong, I really like Agni for a few things but the rom just consistently runs faster and smoother with the included kernel. I seriously don't think I've had even one FC, I really don't. Pretty satisfied. At some point the kernel will be completely custom. I just have other projects I need to update and I haven't had time for basically anything of late.... Hope you enjoy!!!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 32dave:
The only reason i use agn is that all the stock kernels show offline when you try to connect through adb and if I use adb inscure it disables adb completely
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rogersb11:
Hmmm... Strange. I added adb to the kernel but it is insecure. I'll see about modding my ramdisk maybe tomorrow if you wanna test a kernel. I'm working on an aosp kernel so running cm11 at the moment or I'd test it myself. I use adb all the time and I'm almost positive I used it on this too with the stock kernel but I can't remember for sure. So many tests and files and blah blah blah that it's hard to remember anything sometimes. Frustrating really lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 32dave:
Ya love to test it when I flashed back to stock I get a bunch of fc's so until then I'm on agn also just to let you know I'm on NF3
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rogersb11:
Kernel is the same I believe but one got the nf3 anyway. You have to reset agni settings before going stock I THINK because it adds a TON of init.d scripts. Seriously a ton lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 32dave:
Ok I will try that when I get home Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rogersb11:
I'll upload my NF3 for you shortly
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] killerocker:
So I haven't even been on this a full day yet but this is unbelievably smooth. No lag of any kind and smoother than ever before. Amazing work rogersb11
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jbeef86:
what are you guys using to make successful backups for this ROM? Version of TWRP CWM etc. I dont want to backup and flash another ROM then try to come back and not have this ROM restore correctly. Its happened a couple times to me and has sucked. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rogersb11:
I use twrp 2.7.2.2 and I've restored a backup at least 5 times
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
Same here...g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 32dave:
I use Philz no issues
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rogersb11:
Thanks man, glad you're enjoying it. ????
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rogersb11:
Hey sorry man, I didn't forget, just had some things come up. I actually just pulled fresh Samsung KK SOURCE and I'm about to try and run off a custom kernel that I WILL upload for you to test FOR SURE since I'm building an aosp kernel at the same time that I'll be testing lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] cnote74:
Which carrier is the new source for originally?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rogersb11:
Carrier specific,I couldn't tell ya but it's for 317m at Samsung open source. As I'm positive you already know, you can change the defined carrier in the defconfig. I've built it before but was having problems with efs not mounting and couldn't figure it out because never had that issue with aosp but I should be good. Extremely frustrating errors of worked through USUALLY result in some much needed newly learned knowledge
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] cnote74:
Was curious as usually I've heard of a new rom base and this one slipped out under my nose.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rogersb11:
Ah lol. Yep I remember when we were both on the s3 from Neuman and I asked about the cache. Img
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 32dave:
For some reason Rogers released a new version built on June 25 and pushed out in July. I think they forgot to put the new sprectrum in but its not even listed on their site, So I have no way of confirming

rogersb11 Its all good.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] hiperglyde:
Quiet. Good sign. Running this for 3 days so far it's the cleanest I have tried, thanks [MENTION=5554845]rogersb11[/MENTION].
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] djromeo:
Let me know if you test the new version out.....I still have flaky LTE issues on my phone hopefully one of these updates can fix this stupid kitkat problem. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Esj618:
Voice

Please tell me where to turn off voice when receiving calls. Tried everything on this thread nothing happened. Using V1.5.

Thank you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bateche:
Same thing for me, i can't turn that incoming voice caller id and it's annoying.

Thanx for the work

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] the_hatrix:
Hi sorry for asking this stupid question, but I have not keep myself updated since last year with custom roms. I updated to CleanRom 4.8.0 last year and hadn't touched it since. I did read on this thread and several others and I see that there are some problems (for example wifi, battery) with bootloader/kernels etc for KitKat.

I don't want to mess up my phone in terms of updating it so would someone be kind enough to let me know what exactly I have to install (and how, ie. TWRP or ODIN) in order for me to use this ROM?

Right now here is my phone's status:

Model SGH-I317M

Carrier Bell Canada

Android 4.1.2

Baseband version I317MVLBMA3

Kernel version 3.0.69saberKernel_17+ ptmr3@ptmr3-Inspiron-N5110 #1 SMP PreeMPT Wed Mar 20 00:56:52 MDT 2013

Build Number CleanROM ACE 4.8.0

I saw someone mentioning that if I update the bootloader I can't backdate it, what does that mean? I made a backup with TWRP with the above setting. If I update everything the bootloader, can I still go back to my current ROM with my backup?

Your help is much appreciated!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 32dave:
If you update your bootloader it installs knox other than that nothing big if your off warranty then its not an issue. I have gone back to 4.1.2 and didn't have any problems
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] the_hatrix:
Mine is off warranty now.

So if I want the latest of everything do I flash the following all together in TWRP?

WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET

Wipe System

Wipe Cache/Dalvic Cache

Flash kernel (PSN_AGNi_pureSTOCK-v4.2.4_N7105_4.4.2_AROMA-signed.zip)

Or should I update the bootloader? If yes which one exactly? And I assume I should do this before anything else?

Flash the Rom (SK-1-1.5.zip)

Reboot

Set up APN, save and select. Go back and turn on Flight Mode. Now turn off flight mode. Network switch now available but should be LTE on default. If not change it. Reboot to recovery (4 Way Reboot now standard) and flash SuperSU. Reboot

Flash AGNi_PSN_KiTKaT_extSD_APPS_WRITE_ENABLER.zip and I317MVLUDNF1 Modem.zip

Is the above order correct and am I missing anything else?

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 32dave:
No you will have to use odin flash I317MVLUDNF3_I317MOYADNF3_RWC its the latest yes it says Rogers but all the carriers use the same and will be set by the current CSC code then flash recovery of your choice. Remember you will lose everything on the internal storage and will be on stock odexed non rooted firmware
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] djromeo:
and hopefully u don't catch the KitKat LTE bug.....like some of us have :( well i'm on Rogers so you might be lucky. If you dont know what KIT KAT LTE BUG is google it, its when you see LTE data icon and you dont actually get data on your phone or it will be flaky on-off......good luck! if i had the choice and knew about this bug i would have stayed with 4.1 lol....but 4.4 does have some nice features :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 32dave:
I have never had that problem and i am on Rogers
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
I think you may have a device problem...given the fact that you are one of only a few that are reporting the LTE issue...

The users on NOTE 2 devices running KK are in the thousands using modified firmware images and they are not reporting the issue...at least not in our threads...

False alarm in here ??.....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] djromeo:
Lol its a random issue...reported all over the internet on note 2 + KitKat...Google it....but it doesn't affect everyone. I know there are a few in XDA who have the issue.....but he might be lucky.

Its not ROM related its a KITKAT Bug.

http://www.inferse.com/15468/android-4-4-3-kitkat-provides-bug-fixes-creates-bugs/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] the_hatrix:
Is that the stock Rom?

Why am I flashing that instead of this custom Rom?

If it's just the radio why does it remove my root?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 32dave:
For the boot loader
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] emeianoite:
Hey maybe someone could help me out. Everything I get a call, it reads the name out. I have access options off to read out caller ID, and I don't see another option that would do this. Anyone have any idea?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rogersb11:
The answer to this is a few posts back, I can't remember exactly but I know it's there

Edit:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Striker333:
Any way to reenable voice control without having it the caller read out as in version 1? I used voice for my camera shots. Just wondering. Solid rom
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rogersb11:
I'll look into it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] killerocker:
Try this: settings>my device>voice control>enable all but the voice ones. Let me know if it works
