You didn't mention your carrier, but essentially you want to update to the latest firmware first, then flash a 4.3 ROM. To get to the latest firmware you either take an OTA from your carrier, which requires being completely stock with stock recovery and no changes to system, or flash a firmware file that someone has extracted from the OTA package. The latter is imo easier if you are already on a custom recovery. The development forum for your carrier likely has a post dedicated to updating firmware.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
Go to link i posted to get your vzw firmware up to date. An fyi when you said radios you meant firmware an the radios is inside the firmware zip. After you update firmware you can flash 4.4.3 ROMs.

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeanborba:
Hello to all,

I have two problems that are almost making me go back to stock 4.3 ROM

The first is related to the battery, the android system appears first with 25% + battery drain, and in most cases equal to or greater than the battery consumption of the screen! This makes my battery does not pass a day, and the stock I went much further (without STAMINA MODE).

The second issue is regarding the performance measured by AnTuTu. I know that does not mean much, but in the STOCK I get 25.5k and I read out there that people also manages the same in CM11 LBL (the MrSteve555 and also bagyusz), I do not understand why I can here the maximum 22.5K .

Independent of ROM I have put the same results. Tested in all versions of MrSteve555 and in the last two of bagyusz. Also tested in the PAC-man RC-1 neXus PRIME, same result and battery consumption.

In all ROMs I wipe system, data, cache, dalvik cache.

Does anyone have any idea how to solve this? I am discouraged because I love the CM11.

Ps: I use .207 kernel and I've tried with .205 also, same result. (I have LBL)
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] claudio917:
Damn what is that screenshot supposed to show?? 30 minutes off charge and it is at 99%!!! It's obvious that the screen consumption will be minimum, it was on for a minute or so probably... I know that usually android system drain is higher in cm than stock but you should compare your battery stats at the end of the day...
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechnoSparks:
Please reset the counter by tapping on the trash icon on the activity bar. Then please post a screenshot after hours of usage. This will enable other people to properly interpret your battery stats.

Some tips though, you will most likely encounter a slight battery drain while using custom ROMs. This is due to the fact that stock ROM and custom ROM works differently. You might actually having a normal drain than a supposedly "bad" one.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeanborba:
By the end of the day will be the same... Anyway I will post later.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeanborba:
I attached new images for better understanding.

Does anyone have any idea?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gamm86:
Firstly, Antutu scores mean sh*t...

In the past I've had allot of ROMs with very bad Antutu scores which performed much better in terms of speed and general user experience than a standard ROM with higher Antutu score.

Furthermore, install better battery stats or any other wakelock detector app to see what is draining your battery. The pictures you are showing us now don't help at all.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silver Wx:
I've exactly the same problem, android consumes always more than 25% battery too...
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gamm86:
As I mentioned above, you need to identify what is causing the wakelocks first. Untill then there's absolutely no solution that can be presented to both of you.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechnoSparks:
By pointed by Gamm86, it might be due to wakelocks. Once the wakelocks are found, you may use Greenify to hibernate that rogue app. When the app is selected within Greenify, you will find it easier to see the wakeup path and cut it off through Greenify.

Wakelock Detector

Greenify
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gamm86:
It's not always apps themselves that cause wakelocks.

Background services related to phone or app settings are usually the culprits, meaning greenify won't resolve all wakelocks.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechnoSparks:
yes I understand. Hmm i believe you are more experienced in this matter. Would you tell me how to stop those wakelocks that caused from other services? I would really appreciate that, cause I find many people solve this problem but they never did expose where they learn from or the methods they use. and yea, I've googled but I got nothing :)
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sarkar1990:
Use Disable service app. Check which wakelock is occurring and disable that service.

Or get the donate version of unbounce and delay the wakelocks like every hour or so. ;)
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeanborba:
I already use Greenify and hibernate all apps that are not chat, not solved.

I also noticed that while I sleep and the phone remains idle the android system does not consume a lot of battery, something around 6%, but when you turn on the screen and the phone is active it starts to drain. So the problem is not in the wakelock, but elsewhere.

I'm using the applications suggested to post new screenshots later.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeanborba:
I used the apps for a day and I'm posting the screenshots of the result ... the system keeps draining and I don't see any information that would help me on the images.

Anyone have any ideas?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricodredd:
I'm on MrSteve555's CM for LBL and was also wondering why I was getting a much lower AnTuTu score than stock. Then I discovered that I get 22.5K scores WHEN CHARGING and 25.5K scores running off the battery!
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diablo.69:
I have noticed the same issues on all 4.4.x based roms (slimkat, pac, PA etc.). The only fix i found was to disable the automatic screen brightness. After disabling it the system_server service became normal and Android System dropped to 9-8% of overall battery consumption.

Good luck :D

Battery life on CM based ROMs are much better. I had installed PAC MAN Rom on my phone (before going for a repair) and I must say that the I battery life had significantly increased than the stock .205 rom. The only problem what I faced was that the sound quality on CM based Roms is trendily awful. No bass , no clarity. The sound starts to distort at higher volumes (a little bit more than 50%). Viper4Android doesn't seem to work and I don't know any good soundmod for it.

I have connected the Fire TV to my projector using a HDFury HDMI to VGA converter and the Fire TV outputs a 1080p signal. In theory it can handle 1080p, but the picture shows some artifacts. All other devices I have connected this way (DVB-S receiver, WDTV Live) I have set to output 720p and everything works fine.

Now in the Fire TV I cannot set any other resolution option than "Auto", for everything else I get an error "Unsupported Resolution". Any hints? Any way to force 720p on the Fire TV?

I'm dropping this in here for people to use as a base, I don't intend to support it but will add any fixes that people upload. It's a stock 4.4.4 twizz base with qmg support for note 4 apps. It's stable and everything seems to work but there are issues with the spen as I have only added spen libs and there are no spen options in settings, you can probably just drop n2 settings in but I haven't tried too busy working with the eteam.

Its a port of the s3 lte 4.4.4 official stock from here:

[I9300] [Touchwiz Android 4.4.4]

It works with both agni and devil kernel but devil is included. Please feel free to use it but it would be nice if credit was given as not being a developer I spent a lot of time on it.

Thanks a lot, I downloaded the rom to my pc this afternoon from the very first link and now it's on my sdcard waiting for a test:)

I saw there should be some issues with spen detach sounds, but inside /system/media/audio/ui I seem to see no pen sounds, so I have just put them there by myself... Just a try before flashing.

I am looking forward to testing the new look and I will report my experience, though I suppose Dn3 4.4.2 will still be my daily rom for a while.

I did the same thing! Did a full wipe, flashed with TWRP and after flash I went to reboot and it said no OS installed. So I just flashed again dirty and it installed and booted fine into set-up!

After setup I got a few more screen freezes and just pulled battery and it was fine after it settled for a while:thumbup: Seemed very smooth and fast. I had to restore back cause I didnt have much time to test, but will redownload and report back:D

Sorry for OT, but is it intended by the team (or a teammember) to share a stable n7100 base also? Thx :fingers-crossed:

[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] sawdoctor:
I can only tell you what I know, the eteam are concentrating thier efforts on updating dn3 to a 4.4.4 base and porting n4 features. It's not really my place to say what they have working and what they don't but I believe they have a stable base. I know what we have working on the n7105 and it is promising but there are a lot of bugs to iron out. The base I dropped I was using as a daily driver it's that stable
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] lucaoldb:
Just to share my experience:

- N7105, 4.1.2 booloader;

- all wipes but internal sd;

- with TWRP 2.6.31 (the one modified for 4.4.4) I got "no OS installed" so as other users have already reported;

- with the latest cwm, I was able to flash and get the rom booted, but I could not go beyond settings.

I have had neither the time to try any solution, nor to use adb for a log, because my backup to the extsd was corrupted and I was compelled to using odin with a rather damaged usb cable and it was very late (so I am now back to 4.1.2 and tbh battery life was really good) but I think that the issues could be related to the old bootloader, as I could see a very short lasting popup message referring to wifisettings.

Anyway, the rom boots even with the first shift kernel.

I will try again tonight and post a log, if adb and the usb cable are my friends:)

I will also try a dirty flash over 4.1.2, just to see what happens.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] mattern1974:
I have had the same results but dirty flashed a second time to get the rom to boot (but again, couldn't get beyond initial setup with settings force closes after a quick flash of wifi settings). I am on the AT&T NE5 4.4.2 bootloader for the SGH-I317 so I don't think it is exactly bootloader related.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] lucaoldb:
Dirty flashing on top of a 4.1.2 build works flawlessly. Everything seems to work pretty nice, since I could skip settings, but the spen works only as a pointer and with the keyboard, while I cannot activate neither air command, nor use the pen to air scroll.

And in settings it is shown as 4.4.2, instead of 4.4.4, but it must be a typo.
[Galaxy Note II N7105 Android Development] Double0EK:
I changed the SecSettings.apk and SecSettingsProvider.apk and got it to setup. But when trying to access settings after it setup would FC. Didnt really test it out because of that..

Anyway just downloaded it, removed the set-up wizard. Added some files, flashed it done. Rebooted the phone it booted up no problem. Going into the setting menu wasn't a problem for me like others were saying is was FC!!!

But after I was in setting some things in there do cuz FC! And some don't. I'll say this don't change the lockscreen effect or you'll get a constant FC loop. And you'll have to start over...

That is what I've found so far. I know it's more but gotta start fresh since I got myself in a FC loop from changing what I said above. Lol

Still got more things to go thru, while trying to set-up stuff on my laptop.

It's funny how one gets one result while another gets a totally different result.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is derived from an S3 variant of 4.4.4...as it stands, why would we expect 100% usability for the Note 2? I get that the S3 and Note 2 are very similar but not a 1 to 1 likeness.

With people like Bajanman on the case it should get much better but is it worth the time with Android L just a few weeks away?
