Hi. In some days I'm going to format my father's Note 1. Actually it has an old (6 months) RR 5.1.1 rom. I remember I have repartitioned the phone with (I'm pretty sure) the 6GB PIT.

What is the best procedure to have the phone as stable as possible?

- Is better reflashing stock rom + stock pit and, after that, flash 6GB PIT + isorec recovery .tar? Or should be OK to try installing isorec TWRP and then this rom without repartition?

- Best Gapps are still the one in OP (even if outdated)? And to have the most stable phone which is the best package between pico and nano?

Sorry to ask so many things. I read many posts with some answers to my questions, but they are 1 month old, so maybe something could have changed. And I'm not using any CM rom since more than a year, so I'm rusty.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] faizalezzwa:
hi guys

any s note apps compatible with this rom?

thanks in advance

You don't need to instatll a stock rom or repartition again.

To do a complete clean instll do the following steps:

boot into recovery

factory reset

format /system partition

flash rom + gapps

Otional flash the twrp isorec if you want a twrp recovery

reboot

The gapps from the first post are tested and known to work without breaking something.

Recent opengapps should also work but I did not test it myself.

Which gapps version you should use depends on your wanted preinstalled apps...

My new cm13 rom is nearly finish and then I start the work on the next cm12.1 rom. Maybe you wan't to wait for it if you want to do a new clean install
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] asusgarb:
Ok. Thank you very much. So I think I'll wait new release. And I think I'll flash Pico. My father doesn't use Google app. He uses sometimes voice commands, but those files can be downloaded from play store, so Pico should be the best choice.

I can't believe this Note 1 is still so much supported with 12.1 and 13 roms. You're amazing, man!

I've found best setup for my n7000:

1) 06-19 (because I hadn't luck with 07-21)

2) Enable ksm and zram via init.d

3) Disable all irrelevant after-boots via autostarts

I used it about a week, best experience I had with n7000 since ginger stock.

BTW, I use Nova launcher with "speed-of-light" settings. Trebuchet is disabled.

Battery time is decent. I'll test it with interactive governor. Best to set it via init.d script to save more CPU and RAM.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] asusgarb:
Please can you tell me how to set the kernel via init.d? I've never done it before, so I don't know what lines i should change and how.

Once I was a L-Speed Mod user, but it has become a bit too complicated find the better settings for each phone...

But does not CM12.1 have kernel toggle?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] eniac maniac:
I agree with 06-19 version, it works awesome. 07-21 had Kernel and ram issues.

Could you show us a brief guide to set init.d script and so on?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
The mic is in the usb board which is easy to replace and not very expensive.

But you need to go sure that you get the same board revision and a original samsung part.

With the wrong revision or with a fake part you will get signal problems

Hi, thanks for your job this Rom is perfect to me,

I'm just only reporting a problem with cache list in downloadproviderUi app after download last update : the matter is after delete file .zip , the same file still "exist" in DownloadproviderUI app... but it doesn't exist anymore...and you can see it...

Any solution?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
I don't understand what exactly you mean.

Can you please post some screenshots?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] JosukeHigashikata:
Thank you for reply so quickly bauner :)

It's strange to explain, when i've downloaded the last update, it automatically create update.zip file in Download section (i mean DownloadproviderUi app). I delete it after flash new update but the file still "exist" in Downloadprovider.Ui app but it don't in File manager. Hope screenshots can help.

Note : you can see contacts.vfc file too in the screeshot and it's another file i created (contacts phone) to try to understand the problem...it mean any files you put in download section it doesn't disappear after you delete it...in previous update i solve it just eliminating cache in app -> download -> memory... but now it does not work i don't know why ^^!

When you see "scaricamento" it mean Downloading -> so it's strange cause i've already download the update, flash it and delete it....

And the other .zip file is just a copy i tried to move and it is a copy of a 0,00b file but he shows 265M but as you can see in File manager only exist just one file....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
Ok now I think I know what you mean.

If you have deleted a downloaded file it is impossible to delete it in the download app.

All I can currently say that it seems to be a bug in cm12.1. In cm13 it will work.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] JosukeHigashikata:
As i see my CyanogenMod version is already 13.0 ^^".... and in previous update i've solved it just deleting cache in app section... can it mean something?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] IronRoo:
This is normal, like in Windows files are not deleted just "hidden"

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] JosukeHigashikata:
"hidden"?? indeed my friend, but they don't... with -> . they are hidden...they simple don't exist anymore... anyway with root command in file manager you can easily delete but it's impossible cause they don't exist

please see screenshoots once more to understand

anyway thank you for reply
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
What exactly is not working? Will it not turn on? Will it turn on but you can't see your wifi network?

Did you change anything in the wifi settings?

Did you try to reboot your device?

You can also record a logcat while you try to turn on your wifi and post the output of dmesg
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] vikalp007:
It is not turning on. When I click on the the wifi button in the the notification drawer... nothing happens. I also tried to turn it on from the settings page... when i click on the slider button.... it comes to ON state but nothing happens... and when i revisit that page the button is in off state.

I tried to reboot... also reflashed the ROM ...but it didn't work.

how can i record the logcat ... please instruct..

On the side note...thanks for quick response... and your ROM is awesome. I have been using this for months. Only because of your ROM, I am still able to use my beloved Note.

hi bauner

I had set PIN for the lock screen earlier. but when I want to change it to other security lock screen only pattern, pin & password available. what should I do to make another two options available back?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
You can record a logcat with apps like catlog.

You can also try to flash a stock samsung rom back with odin.

If your wifi will also not work with a stock rom then it seems to be a hardware problem

You will need

1) root

2) busybox

3) init.d toggler (it's one-time utility, it doesn't start at boot, free and handy) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.broodplank.initdtoggler&hl=ru

4) scripts are contained in /system/etc/init.d directory and executed from 00 to 99

5) correct permissions are 755 and up

6) and you should get rid of other software, that may change kernel settings after boot :D

For example, my init.d scripts are:

00banner

01ksm

02zram

03tweaks (there are my settings for governor, caches, VM, etc. )

90userinit

95runtrim (periodically runs TRIM on flash

99SuperSUDaemon

There's a nice guide on XDA:

[GUIDE] [DIY] Tweaking Voltages and Governors Using init.d Scripts

Basically, you need to check which governors are available and set only one of those.

Tomorrow I'll flash your latest release (thank you for it). 2 last questions:

- I had to turn the phone to stock rom because signal problems, so i restored stock partition pit. Which one of the 2 mentioned in this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=66341193&postcount=2071 is better with this rom (i don't remember partition system stock size for the first one).

- never used isorec before. i rooted stock rom so i have philz recovery. can i flash isorec twrp before flashing your rom? for me twrp works better than philz. and, can i repartition the phone before flashing your latest release?

As its creator, have you some suggestions (greenify, clean master) or do you think it works faster without them?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
Because of the unmodified preload partition of the first repit zip you can use it also with a stock rom.

If you want to use bigger gapps as micro then you can use the 2nd repit file. But it will also minimize the preload partition which will make it incompatible with stock roms. (but you could rename preload=min to preload=same to not modify the preload partition.)

The isorec recovery needs a change in the kernel init script so it will only work on newer custom roms/kernel

There are reports that the repit method will not work with philz recovery. So you need to install my rom first. Then you can flash the isorec twrp and do the repartitioning.

If you want to repartition before you need to use the older odin/pit method.

I don't use such apps... The only one I use is an task manager (but only to have a quick overview about the free and used ram)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] :
I wouldn't trust anything made by Cheetah Mobile (Clean Master, ES Explorer) as they contain adware and collect information not relevant to the app.

You could use CCleaner (Free) or SD Maid (Pro) to do periodic cleanups of the Note. Greenify is only good if you wish to hibernate apps that you hardly use, saving up RAM and a bit of battery. Alternatively, use Amplify and this guide if you find the wakelocks a bit too draining when phone is asleep.

Otherwise, you don't need anything else. All those battery/storage defrag and booster stuff will probably do more harm than good,

hi again bauner, this is the log while turning on the wifi... any way to fix this?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] zroice:
hey guys,

installed this rom + the tk-gapps nano (first i flashed the 6gb, 45mb preload repit) but the gapps keep crashing... any idea?

sd card, data, preload reformatted after the repit off course..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
Maybe I can see more on the dmesg log but this error mostly comes from an damaged wifi hardware. To go sure you can try to install a stock rom

Then you should try a complete clean clean install.

factory reset + format /system + flash rom and gapps
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] zroice:
Hey Bauner, thanks for the tip.. but off course thats what I already did a couple of times .. =/

1. I installed philz touch kernel with the pit file for 6gb data partition and 45mb preload.

2. Reformatted everything (data, preload, emmc, system) and pushed the rom zip and the gapps (tried tk-gapps nano and opengapps nano for 5.1.1)

3. Installed everything.

Now when the phone boots i get constant messages that xxx has crashed (basically all the gapps) and the gapps are shown as those little green androids - when I try to open one it says its not there.

When I flash the rom without the gapps it runs fine.

Maybe the gapps versions (latest for 5.1.1 in each case) is wrong or the pit is not compatible? In the recovery the gapps installations also complete fine - no not enough space etc messages or smth.

No clue what else to do ...?

Can you maybe upload the exact pit and gapps that you used to install yours? Or any other ideas on what to try?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] zroice:
Managed to make it work by installing the rom and booting up for the first time without gapps.

Then afterwards i went back to the recovery and flashed the gapps on top.

No idea but now it works.

[MENTION=799465]bauner[/MENTION] I seem to be experiencing insanely slow charge times when phone is turned on and asleep, but it charges as normal when turned off.

It can't be my battery as it uses the same SOT + battery usage, and I've changed nothing on the phone. Running the latest rom + kernel.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] PRDR:
I have a question, [MENTION=799465]bauner[/MENTION] :

How frequently is the Time Zone information updated for this ROM (or perhaps for CM in general)?

I might be wrong, but I think I have the 2015a TZ data version, and I believe version 2016f (or newer, maybe) is already out. I have the OTA 20160813 ROM update running.

Thanks for this great ROM for our old Note1!!!!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] IronRoo:
That sounds like a strange one! Only thing I can think of is that somehow the battery is just pulling a trickle charge like it normally only does at the end of a charging cycle, but now doing it for the full cycle.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] :
yeah, I didn't think of that. I'd maybe try to train it down to 0% but this is a brand new battery so i'm not sure if that'll damage it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] IronRoo:
No that will not damage the battery, a li-on battery's onboard chip will shut it off before it gets too low in order to protect the battery (assuming the onboard chip is working right, yours may not be!) So even though your phone says your battery has zero charge it will really have several % left as if a li-on battery is run too low you won't be able to recharge it (though some chargers have a special boost function that may be able to revive some batteries that have been discharged past their design minimum)

Your problem may be the opposite, I would guess, the onboard chip thinks the battery is full so only supplying a trickle charge. Running it down might fix it. Also putting the battery into a cradle charger might reset the onboard chip, but I don't suppose you have one of those lying around! You should also try a recalibration app to wipe your PHONES battery data as you have fitted a new battery (not to mention a new ROM).

If none of that does the trick I hope it's still under warranty.

[MENTION=799465]bauner[/MENTION] Brother we cannot thank you enough for providing us these fantastic ROMs. Without you, this phone would have been dead a long long time ago. Official CM is still stuck on kk (CM11) although they are maintaining it (the latest build was yesterday 15 aug 2106)

I am using your 5.1.1 21st july build with 19th June kernel and it is working very well. nice battery and smoothness.

But it was not working so smooth with MM ROM.

I want to ask you which one do you think I should clean flash now 5.1.1 or 6.0? (Both are good but I am confused. I need battery and responsiveness) :D

I know both are your babies but still, which one would you recommend if a user does not mind using lollipop when MM is available.

Thanks a ton
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
cm12.1 is using 2015a and cm13 2016a

If your july rom with the june kernel is working fine you can update it also to the latesht version. It is using nearly the same kernel as the june version.

A clean flash is only needed if you want to switch to another major android version or if you have some other problems.

The cm12.1 rom seems to be a bit more responsive and better for gaming.

With the cm13 rom the battery usage in standby seems to be a bit lower.

Thanks for the answer, [MENTION=799465]bauner[/MENTION].

Is there any way to update the ROM's TZData? 2015a is rather old by now, the phone is probably (automatically) displaying the wrong time in a few countries...

There used to be an app that would do just that (TimeZone Fixer, o something like that), but unfortunately it does not work well on android versions above 4.2. That is why I was thinking that maybe the TZData might be updated in ROM sources themselves.

Thanks again.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] PRDR:
Ah, well. Thanks for answering.

I was wondering if placing the latest TZData info in the ROM sources would be something that could be done quickly, but if it requires some research, or if it would be time consuming in some other way, I think it is probably not worth it, time can be manually adjusted by setting the time zone to some other, appropriately chosen, country.

Adjust manually correct time zone for some days after go back for automatically. It could be not ROM issue. May be operator bug.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] IronRoo:
what ROM were you on before upgrade? If you weren't on CM12 then you have to flash specific gapps for CM12 (Andriod 5) others will not work properly, and it must be flashed immediately after (so no reboot) flashing ROM
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] PRDR:
Thanks for your answer.

And you are partly right, it is definitely not the fault of this truly wonderful ROM. But it is not an operator bug either.

It is our infinitely dumb Minister of Energy's fault. This genius enjoys modifying every year the dates for the daylight saving time changes. He kept us for the whole last year on summer time settings (?????). This year he suddenly decided to graciously let us have three whole months of winter (i.e. normal) time setting. As he keeps modifying all of the sudden the daylight saving change dates, slightly older TZData definitions won't work for us. That is why I was looking for a way to update the TZData files.

Sorry for the OT explanation...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] yura78:
May be may be, but on my second phone I has correct time. And on Note also time was good before, once check and there was one hour delay(as I found in setting not correct time zone) :) I make step written before and now showing automatically good time. Strange issue. And it happens on CM13 for me.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
Then it seems to be a filesystem problem on 1 (or more) of your partitions.

If you have made a backup in the recovery you can restore it and then try to update the rom again.

If you don't have a backup you should do a clean install of the current rom (factory reset + format /system + install rom + install gapps)
