The 20160109 kernel should work in the 20151211 rom too.

Have you tried this for whatsapp notifications?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2142503

I used it earlier to fix whatsapp in deep sleep (with mobile heartbeat 5 and wifi heartbeat 4 minutes).

But with the current version it is also working for me without it.

I don't have such problems on my n7000 but since the last 2 cos12.1 versions I have such problems on my oneplus one (sometimes it will not connect to mobile data after turning off wifi. Then the only way to fix it is to enable and disable the flightmode).

I currently don't know the reason
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] VBTheory:
So I wiped everything and reinstalled the kernel, ROM and GApps and it finally worked. Even recording in Snapchat works. I am blown away. I have no idea what was the source of this problem but I'm glad it's gone.

Thank you so much for the support man. Keep it up ;)

Google play services has stopped

Hi [MENTION=799465]bauner[/MENTION]

I clean flashed this new build with latest opengapps but I can't launch the playstore. It gives me google play services has stopped error.

I use the attached gapps-config file to remove unnecessary applications.

COuld you please let me know if I am removing any essential app and that is why I am facing this issue.

Thanks a lot!

I use the same config file on oneplus one without any issues.

Update:

Ok I read that opengapps won't work. But I will still request you to have a look at the gapps-config file to see if it is safe to remove all these apps. thanks a lot!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
You remove almost everything with this...

Also webview should not removed.

If you are switching to other gapps you need to format the /system +/data partition and then install the rom + gapps. If you not do this there can be leftover apps/settings which also can cause such problems.

I also would suggest to test it first before you remove anything

Does your snapchat vides get uploaded? can u also try to upload a video on instagram to check whether its working????

Two questions:

How to activate screen capture ?.

? How to overcome the number of icons in folders, so they can put more than 16?

The latest version works great. After making a clean intalacion video recording and voice messages of whatssapp works ?.

many graccis
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
There are apps for screen capturing in the playstore.

You can also do it with adb

http://www.androidcentral.com/android-screen-record-kitkat

If you are using trebuchet you can add more than 16 apps into a foler (with more than 16 apps you can swype to the right in the folder). I don't know if it will work with other launcher too.

Video recording and voice messages are working fine for me in whatsapp
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] hewhomustnotbenamed:
Yeah. This removes everything. AOSP apps are all outdated. I redownload the google counterparts for all those that I need. I have it tested on bacon till webview removal. I removed webview manually and redownloaded google's webview since it is more up to date.

WIll initial removal and then later download from playstore of webview work?

Is there any advantage of using the latest one's from google over AOSP ones?

Thxxx a ton for helping. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bratboo:
This maybe off topic but is there a mod to add double tap navigation bar to sleep and also re-size navigation bar height? Or can I edit something within the rom to adjust navigation bar height and to add double tap navigation to sleep manually? Many thanks!

Call recording apps dont work in nightowl cm12.1 [MENTION=799465]bauner[/MENTION]
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
I already use google webview instead of the aosp webview in the rom so the webview will get updates from the playstore.

If you remove it before you have installed a newer one from the playstore it will break all webview related apps (also the playstore).

There is also no need to remove the default webview because after an update only the new version is getting used

It is known that only recording from mic is supported.

Or will it not start to record anything?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] hewhomustnotbenamed:
Thank you so much for taking out time to reply :) [MENTION=799465]bauner[/MENTION]

I am getting a little paranoid about removing unnecessary stuff from the ROMs on all my devices in order to make them perform better and use less resources. Does removing all this stuff, as seen in gapps-config file, help the phone getting faster?

AOSP apps, email, exchange and all, I never use and they are old. So, I do not like having them sitting on my phone. :D

Your ROMs are great on n7000. Without you this phone would be dead for me. It has not seen much love from the devs. Even the official CM is still stuck on CM11. :eek: i9100 enjoys a lot more love.

I ask this question for all my devices, n7000, i9100 and bacon.

Thanks a ton :angel:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
You can remove not needed apps... but not webview... and you should remove only a few apps at one time to find out what is the reason if it breaks something
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] hewhomustnotbenamed:
I have tried with everything else except removing webview at the time of flashing. I removed it after boot from system by using solid explorer and then downloaded google webview on Oneplus one. Worked just fine.

But using this on n7000 does not work. So, I do not use this on n7000 :D

If I remove webview by using this config file, will I not be able to access the play store (to download google webview) itself after boot?

Does play store also need webview to work?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
Yes the playstore needs webview
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] hewhomustnotbenamed:
Thanks. I learned that :D

Hi, anyone having issues with GPS? For some days my GPS does not work properly.

It constantly loses the fixes to the satelites every few seconds so no navigation is possible.

Is it because of the ROM or more probably a hardware failure?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] realalms:
No issue with gps. Been using maps without any problem. On latest rom
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ThaiDai:
I bought a "chinese" version of google card board. And I learned that google street view doesn't show the cardboard icon unless you use 5.x. So right now I started to backup my old rom and will install your version. And I hope that I can use the old note as a "VR"-provider.

So I have to thank you again for this version on our note.

I think not. That is why I ask, is this ROM here stable enough to give it a shot?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] :
This one is as stable as it gets. Make a nandroid backup if you want a quick revert to previous rom
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] dnp_sgn:
I just finished installing it, I don't need to do any back-up, I only used a vanilla omni 4.4.4 install before.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Snoere:
No exaggeration: this is the best available ROM for N7000

This ROM is really stable and very smooth. It performs much better than OmniROM, which wasn't really stable on my device. I had much more issues.

The N7000 is my daily driver and even my business phone. I don't focus on fancy stuff, I appreciate security and stability. So, if you are looking for a stable ROM, use Nightowl 12.1.

Bauner did fix several bugs in common kernel builds (he reverted some changes which made all available kernel versions unstable).

I had only one crash while transferring data via USB and one or two crashes in more than six month! Even the original Samsung ROM had more crashes, bugs and a lagging system.

But it's very important to carefully read the installation instructions and you have to re-partition your device. But this also gives you much more space for apps, which was sometimes a limit with ROMs using the original partition scheme. Times changed, apps are growing bigger and bigger, so you will benefit from re-partitioning anyway.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] dnp_sgn:
Thanks for the reply. I also experienced some issues with video playback on my Note n7000 with latest stable Omni ROM, but this one here works unexpectedly well in terms of battery life, stability and overall experience. I don't seem to need to re-partition my device because I only use a limited number of additional apps and I move them all to the SD anyway.

However..

There is one single issue I encountered: the Move to SD Card feature isn't working properly, I moved Google Chrome browser to SD Card and it's not working. Other apps moved to SD are working fine. Perhaps [MENTION=799465]bauner[/MENTION] can have a look at it when he finds the time.

Thanks again.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Eoinoc:
Hi, I've installed this ROM and the stock browser and email client both crash When I try to run them. Firefox and Gmail are fine, as is everything else I've tried so far. Searching this thread suggests something about the webview being at fault but beyond that I'm not sure.

I've tried both the nano and pico TK Modular Gapps and I've tried the Webveiw Addon Module. I've also made sure the webview was updated fully in the playstore. But I get the same result with everything.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
I currently have my cm13 beta installed. But I will test it before the next cm 12.1 release.

But if you have enough space on your /data partition the best way is not to move apps to the sdcard

Is the playstore working?

Maybe the problem comes from the tk webview addon.

You don't need it. The rom is already using google webview (which can get updates from the playstore).

You can try to boot in the recovery and then:

Format /system partition

Wipe dalvik-cache

Install rom +gapps (the same version you had installed before but without the webview addon)

If this will not fix your problem you can record a logcat of the problem
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Eoinoc:
Yep the playstore works fine. I tried it first without the addon, and then later with the addon.

But, maybe I didn't do a clean wipe properly or something, I'll try again.

Clean flashed 20160109 on my gt-n7000, but could not enable wifi most of the time, tried flashing both with tp gapps and without several times. Please fix, or tell me what build to install, because I like your rom overall and this is the only issue.

p.s. just tried miui 4.4 based rom and wifi is ok there..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
There are no known wifi problems.

Will it turn off itself, will it not find networks or will it not connect to a network?

Can you please record a logcat of your problem?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] xiamcm:
>>Will it turn off itself, will it not find networks or will it not connect to a network?

yes it turns off after a sleep, then it either doesn't turn on or simply doesn't connect to a network, when trying to manually switch it on and off it won't turn on anymore. A reboot doesn't help - the wifi is turned off after a reboot and nothing will turn it on, only a reflash helps, the wifi is turned on after the first boot and connects to a network, but the connection is lost after turning screen off.

Here: http://pastebin.com/hkNe2zbj is a logcat when wifi could not be turned on after a reboot, do you want me to get a logcat straight from the rom first boot when the wifi is usable till it's lost?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
You get this error many times

E/WifiStateMachine(2294): Failed to load driver

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] xiamcm:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
Can you please post the output of

dmesg

after you have tried to enable wifi.

With

dmesg > /storage/sdcard0/dmesg

you will have the dmesg output on your sdcard

It seems that the module will not load.

And you never had wifi problems before with other roms?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] xiamcm:
No problems on original stock ROM, but it's too old to use.. On MIUI 4.4.4 Rom the problem occurs differently - WiFi could be enabled time to time.

It's very stange that wifi is always on on a first ROM boot..

Here's the dmesg output.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] xiamcm:
Maybe you're right, but why is wifi OK everytime after a reflash?

It seems that it can get up only at boot time. And once it's off it won't ever get on because android remembers device state. Maybe you know where the WiFi on/off state is stored?

tried setting it enabled on boot

svc wifi disable
svc wifi disable

and

sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
update global set value=1 where name='wifi_on';

with no success.

I want to figure out why it's always up on a first boot, if it was a hardware only issue it wouldn't be up after a reflash.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] xiamcm:
[MENTION=1991430]baumer[/MENTION] , maybe there are several revisions of wifi chips inside gt-n7000 and they need different drivers? I saw many reported bugs on wifi in your bugtracker.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
You could try if it will help if you enable "wifi scanning always enable" in the wifi setting to prevent the module from unloading if you disable wifi

This is not so easy to fix.

It exists since a long time on custom roms.

The problem is that the camera and the transcoder for instagram are using the same encoder.

If I fix instagram it would break the camera.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
There are some older reports of wifi problems.

But there is no report about a similar problem that the wifi module will not load because of timeout errors

But you could try if the 20150913 kernel (I don't know if the current rom will boot with this old kernel) or full rom will make a difference.

Because it is using the same wifi driver as the last samsung stock roms
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] xiamcm:

Thanks I'll try it, where can I download kernel-only package, there's only a full rom in the Old releases section? Found it, its anchored as CM12.1 20150904 Kernel only

And where does the driver from the 20160109 come from?

---------- Post added at 09:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:08 AM ----------

Tried the 20150913 kernel, no success, same thing, the wifi chip could not be powered on in dmesg.

I want to report that flashlight turns off once the phone goes to stand-by mode, and I really need this to work properly, sometimes I need the phone to light up what I do in dark situations.

Also about the Move to SD Card, that's odd, I really did do a clean install, wiped all data, and I don't know if this repartitioning thing is the thing to do for me because I may have to re-flash the old 4.1.2 in case I need to sell the phone, so I'll keep that in mind.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
Currently the only way to prevent the flashlight from turning off is to prevent the device from going into standby.

If you follow the repartition howto and use one of the suggested (not the 45mb preload) pit files you can also run a stock rom with it.

You can also go back to the stock partition table if you flash a stock rom with the default pit file

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
You could also do with flashing the philz kernel from step3 of the "The steps to install it from an stock samsung rom are:" guide with odin.

But then you also need to format the /data partition and the sdcard0.

I also had trouble to format the sdcard0 in the old cwm recovery which I used in my earlier 5.0 builds after repartitioning only with a kernel. Because of this I recommended to flash a stock samsung rom. But maybe it will work better with the current philz recovery or with the twrp kernel
