Hi,

For what I know:

1- that's odd, I don't have this issue. Have you considered to clean flash again? Something is doing conflicts... To be honest I had some reboots but it was when I was restoring a ton of apps with Titanium Backup. After 2-3 days reboots were gone.

2- Never tried video calls, here I cannot help...

3- that came up with Kitkat, due to security flaws coming up with fat32 permissions many apps have lost write access to external sd, unless properly declared in permissions. AFAIK only "A better camera" and "Camera f5vl" can write to external sd... Stock camera can write only to internal.

4- That's due to kernel memory management and/or missing ksm/zram. [MENTION=799465]bauner[/MENTION] is working on a kernel based on stock samsung to improve memory management.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
You should update to the latest version. Because there are no more reports of freezes, reboots with the new kernel.

Also you can select the default storage location in the camera settings in the latest version.

Go also sure that your sdcards are formated as vfat.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Getty Torralba:
Thank you very much for that info. Now would just like to know about my additional question on how to install the 20150613 ver coming from beta 5. Sorry first time to use non TW roms.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
Also you have running the beta5 atm? The beta5 is using the 4412 kernel which was the reason for the stability problems.

To update to the current version you need to flash the rom +gapps and wipe the dalvik-cache in the recovery.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] SoulSlayer69:
Hello bauner (and thx for everything!),

what is the best way to get every partition formatted in vfat instead of other file systems?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
Boot into recovery

Go to "Wipe and Format Options"-"Custom Format Options"

Go to "format /storage/sdcard0" and "format /storage/sdcard1" and select "vfat" as file system.

But in the most cases (if you don't have a 64GB external sd or formated the internal sdcard manual to another filesystem) you should already have vfat as filesystem
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] SoulSlayer69:
As I read you bricked your device some time ago, I can ship mine backup phone to you for free, it is full working except for display, if your is just bricked you just need to put your display on my mobo :)

Consider this only if it helps you, nevermind if I misunderstood about your note or you don't need it :good:

Can't wait your newer kernel, since 13june my Note is really back on track:D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
Thx for your offer, but currently I don't need your device, because I have bought a used one from ebay some time ago
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] osd_daedalus:
(sorry, I replied on the wrong thread!)

Anyway I managed to recompile again a kernel, after some wrestling with ramdisk. I should give right to CM Wiki, I should stop trying to compile the kernel alone outside the full rom source... in this weekend I'll see if it works!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
the easiest way is to build it with the full source with make bootimage.

It should work without the full source too but then you need to modify

CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE="source/usr/n7000_initramfs.list"

to

CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE="usr/n7000_initramfs.list"

in the cyanogenmod_n7000_defconfig

and in usr/n7000_initramfs.list

remove every

source/

and add a prebuilt ramdisk.cpio to this line

file /stage1/boot.cpio ../../ramdisk.cpio 644 0 0

like I did it 1 line deeper with the recovery ramdisk

My actual ramdisk.cpio is attached here as zip archive
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] osd_daedalus:
Thank you :) Will do in this weekend... maybe my mistake was to set directly ramfs.cpio into the CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE

BTW What about the other defconfig "q1" in your TW_N7000 source?

For which device is that?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
If you add the ramdisk directly to CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE it should also work, but you would miss the recovery

The TW_N7000 source is currently experimental and will not work with the current uploaded defconfig, because the wrong mali driver will be build.

I will upload the needed changes in the next days.

The q1 is the stock samsung config for tw jb roms
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] winter01942:
HI bauner,

its my 2nd day since flashing and factory reset, reinstalled all my apps,

Now i am getting a Idle CPU temp (no background apps) of around 40C from CPU Temperature app and CPU usage never drops below 9~10%

Is this normal? I've checked from Apps > Running that there are no other non-system apps running

Is there other ways to check?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] AhmadOkda:
Install BetterBatteryStatus
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
Cputemp is causing cpu load too while running.

My cpu temperature with only running cpu temp is around 30′C

Your temperature can be ok because I think it is much warmer at your location.

On my location it is currently about 17′C
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] winter01942:
thanks bauner!

only the play store will force close when i navigate through the play store apps fast,

but i guess that's something we'll have do deal with having old phones with low memory...

keep up the great work

can't wait for more updates! :good::good::good:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] mjrifath:
Clear the Play Store Data and cache.. should work :good:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] mucaco:
Little observation only about battery drain.By statistical battery information a very low value of the battery usage, bravo...but in reality it runs out quickly as e.g. KitKat where I had a much higher value of battery usage.Rest is flawlessly.Thanks for your efforts.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] theloginwithnoname:
Google changed how the battery usage is reported in Lollipop and I agree its a worse way of displaying; KK was *much* more informational. However, not ROM-specific or performance-related to it I'm afraid!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] osd_daedalus:
Keep in mind that the memory management is not optimal yet, so while phone is loading apps, reclaiming ram etc. that corresponds to a device in activity and not in deep sleep.

With a better memory management, also battery should benefit
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] laxx82:
I thank you for the great work on this rom. I am currently running beta 5 and experienced a strange problem today.

While surfing the whole screen slowly turns completely to white. I had to remove the battery to restart my device.

On Nightowl Logo the same happens again.

I waited for a while (temperature was normal ~ warm) and tried again. This time the boot almost finished, but then the display turns white again slowly.

Now its black forever. It seems like i can turn it on, but i cant see anything. If i wait for a while, i can use the screenshot function (i hear the sound) and the hardware buttons are glowing if i press them. But thats all.

How could i do a reflash with this behavior or is it broken?

Thanks for any advice.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] action_papst:
Cant reproduce the bug with airplane mode. working fine over here. will now try to replace the files. give me a sec...

[edit] doesnt seem to work. i took a vold from a current nightly found here. Timestamp says, its a current file, like 2 days old or so.

i pushed the file to the working external sd and moved it to the rw-remounted system/bin/. rebooted and opened the filemanager and got the same error as before. checked the modified time of vold and it was like 3min ago or so. [/edit]

[edit2] if i flash your alpha5-with-cwm-kernel via heimdall i can access the internal sd from recovery. i use it to reflash alpha6 atm, because i need my mobile in a few minutes for music things...will report later (like in 2-3h), if i found other bugs so far... [/edit2]
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] :
If you can upload alpha 6 like ( alpha 5 + mobile fix + codec changes only ) without any changes on internal SD ( and also we can have working cwm) so we can test easily and confirm since no internal SD make many things impossible.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
I'm building an new version with reverted sd changes atm.

In the new version you can flash the second cwm test kernel with mobile odin
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Nymmath:
Mmm..so, that means, everything will work property except internal SD, right? Or I misunderstood?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ankitrajj:
no dude you totally misunderstood this . [MENTION=799465]bauner[/MENTION] is reverting internal sd setting like was on alpha 5 so it could run on alpha 6 with more changes in mobile data and codecs . . .
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
I hope so... but the internal storage will work as in alpha 5 in the 0 folder.

Gps will be broken and I don't know if video playback in apps will work. Has anyone tried this in alpha 6?

It will take about 90 min till the new version is finish and uploaded
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Nymmath:
I just installed ALPHA-6... first boot atm...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] action_papst:
Have bootloops with alpha5 and alpha6 ATM. Don't want to wipe data, but I can't lock the display, because I'll have a reboot then instantly ... Sent from my n7000
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] galaxynote2:
Please dont call it Alpha 6, it's just a untested Rom, which could have some things broken as bauner said. People must be aware of this as for the "common user" a higher alpha number means a better, bug-fixed rom than the last one. Cheers!

EDIT: Just didn't saw that the title of the zip file was named "alpha 6". Sorry! Forget what I said
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] :
[MENTION=799465]bauner[/MENTION]

Isn't it strange that when enter cwm everything becomes normal and SD is mounting as it should be. But when boots up with the same kernel it turns out totally different story that SD is in action on 0 folder , but when set normal route it just breaks down.

W/e dude... untested rom...

Video playback and GPS still not working. Data is working good, but I think you already knew it.

[MENTION=799465]bauner[/MENTION], you're doing a great job, as always! :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
Here is the next test version.

It's the same as the last test rom, the only thing is that the internal sdcard should work as in alpha 5

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95832962473399499

to get cwm working you can try to flash this kernel with mobile odin or heimdall (rename the download to zImage before flashing with mobile odin)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Azeazezar:
Well, the last 45 minutes it has been sitting on the cyanogenmod boot screen.

While the rotating arrow is hypnotizing, i think its time to pull the battery and try again.

Yes i did a full wipe.

Did anyone else have more luck?

Yeap.

It booted.

I'll test it and give feedback
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] :
I did dirty flash over alpha 5 it installed as an update now just cleaning some reinstalled stuff.

Edit: Codec changes seems not working. Camera picture OK video capture freezing. Same as alpha 5. I don't use mobile data and can't test it.

Anyone got a reboot/bootloop upon screenlock on this new build ? :confused:

currently flashing this test-build :silly: :silly: :silly:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Messatsu:
So...all the reboot & freezes issue were there because of the kernel? Is your new kernel compatible with cm11 roms? Congrats for this beautiful work [MENTION=799465]bauner[/MENTION], on oneplus one & n7000 forum :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] D@rekills4:
I must say, battery life is really awesome with the 20150613 ROM and kernel.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] radier:
Also no freezes while using navigation app. Great job.

Taptaptap Mlais M52
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
Please try to update to the latest version

Yes it seems that the smdk4412 kernel was the reason for the freezes and reboots.

You can't use the cm12.1 kernel on cm11 roms because the different ramdisk.

But my smdk4210 kernel should also work for cm11 if someone will build it from source for cm11
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
In the next days I will release a new test kernel again based on the stock samsung jb kernel with trim, ksm, zram support, extra free kbytes tunable and working button backlight control.

If this kernel will work well it will replace the smdk4210 kernel in the next rom
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] :
Thanks for the hard work ^^

Looking forward to test it out
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] testman86:
First, thanks again for you hard work, its really awesome, that such an old device is getting still support! :)

I just have to add something.

In https://docs.google.com/document/d/1a-ZfRfAz6icKA9Cq946iOM5RiWD6kyC-OUb_vLD3GqM/edit?pli=1 at point 14) there your newer kernel https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95887005526788121 should be mentioned instead of the old one, matching your "how to install from Samsung ROM"

And I have a little question: If doing all this steps to enlarge my data partition and installing CM12.1 + gapps again, is it possible to restore a nandroid backup from my actual installation? Or do I run into problems because partition sizes were changed? Because this would save me a lot of work, because setting up the device and do all settings always need a lot of time.

And last but not least, I saw your donation link and I will definitely sent some money! Really thanks for your great work!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
I have not written this howto for repartitioning so I can't change it.

It does not matter which of my kernel you are flashing in step14 because it is only to get a updated recovery.

After doing all the steps you can restore your old nandroid backup without any problem
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] theloginwithnoname:
Yes; you don't need to flash a stock or custom ROM before doing the restore either - though I think that is mentioned in the repartitioning thread instructions anyway.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] laxx82:
I am stuck here, because i dont know how i should do it with blank screen.

But u think it can be software related - no hardware fault?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
Will you also not see the first n7000 logo after power on?

And what about if you are booting into recovery or download mode?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] testman86:
yeah it is mentioned in the instruction http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2642299 , but some seem to have issues when using a custom kernel and not using stock for doing it. And furthermore, I do not have a .tar.md5 of the kernel for doing it like mentioned in the 4b) method so (beause I have a nandroid) I will do the long run install everything and do a full boot to CM12.1 +Gapps and then just use nandroid backup brauner just mentioned. Seems to be the savest way for me, or am I wrong?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
It will also work with a kernel only but I got some trouble with formating the internal sdcard after this.

Formating it in the recovery and in the cm12 rom did not work.

I solved it by flashing cm11 and formated it there in the rom.

So I think the easiest way is to do it with a complete stock rom
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] testman86:
solved, used the 8 GB .pit file and everything is working, I got the "repartitioning dialog in the stock 4.2.1 Android so everything should work fine. And CM12.1 is also showing 7.87 GB memory instead of 1.97 GB before. So patient ist still alive and working :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] abbaselmas:
So far I have found some strange issue on software reboot.

Software reboot on power menu doesnt initialize my simcard at all. I have to normal reboot when I use software reboot.

Toggling airplane mode also dont resolve the issue.

But great experience so far. Thanks everyone
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] :
So it means that we shall use MHL once again??. I reverted to JB for a now because I need MHL to connect device to a monitor.

GT-N7000...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
No because it is not only kernel related

This is known. You should not use the soft reboot function
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] D@rekills4:
But will it's battery life be as good as 20150613 kernel?

The previous zRAM and KSM kernel didn't have such a great battery life. It wasn't good, but wasn't that bad either.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
It will not be enabled by default. I will provide 3 files for flashing in the recovery.

One to enable ksm and another one to enable zram and the last one to disable both again

GT-N7000

I want to install this rom to my phone but I'm using CM10.2 and i have CWM 6.0.4.5. For install this rom my recovery must be 6.0.5+.

Which way i should follow?

1-Flash this kernel 'Nightowl-cm12-BETA3-n7000-Kernel-only.zip' to get an updated CWM recovery---> Install rom--->Install gapps.

2-Flash 'PhilZ-cwm6-XXLT6-XSA-5.06.1.tar.md5' by using odin--->Flash kernel--->Install rom--->Install gapps.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
Step1 but don't forget to reboot the recovery before installing the rom and gapps
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] D@rekills4:
Yes, I got that.

I was wondering if the 20150613 kernel is based on the Samsung JB kernel as well because it's giving an excellent battery life.

If not, reverting to JB kernel, will it cause less battery life again?

Off topic:

Anyone knows where the WiFi antenna is on the back panel?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
The 20150613 kernel is based on the cyanogenmod smdk4210 kernel which is closer to the n7000 stock kernel as the smdk4412.

In the next testkernel (based on the stock samsung kernel) the battery life should be the same (if you don't enable zram or ksm).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] No.12:
Is apps like fb and messenger still lagging and freezing on latest build? Or is it solved with this kernel?

Powered by Galaxy Note
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] tamaraxxx:
I have no problems with both apps
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] :
There's an issue with installing some apk like BetterBatteryStats in 240 dpi. The install button will not respond but the cancel button doesn't.

This is presumably because in original display there would be an auto scroll-down (next button) before the install button becomes available.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] reip:
hey there,

I was out of custom roms' business for a while and i decided to flash this rom, hoping that it will help me with my wireless issues (didn't - must be hardware). I flashed the rom, coming from CM11 build. I didn't flash gapps - I don't want to use them for many reasons. Device keeps soft rebooting like crazy, even when i'm not doing anything with it. Both partitions are vfat, tried to flash kernel you included - didn't help. What is the problem, presumably, and how can i fix it?

Anyway, thanks for doing this, it looks and feels amazing.

Battery Issue

Hello Guys,

This ROM is really awesome. Flashed and tried. Made my phone much faster.

But when I rebooted my phone, it took around 70 seconds and my battery fell down from 41% to 7%.

And later when I rebooted, my phone went off in between. And shows 0% now.

Can you please help?

I've started charging it again and it has reached 4% in about 5-6 minutes.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
There are no known problems with reboots in the current version.

But if the wifi hardware is damaged on your device it will soft reboot every time after your screen turns off
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
This looks like a bad/old/damaged battery
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] D@rekills4:
Alright, looking forward to test the zRAM and KSM version.

EDIT: Oh and if possible please fix the arrows on data network which show upload and download if possible.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
Not in the next test kernel...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
Here is the new testkernel for 20150613 based on the latest samsung sources for the n7000.

Changes to the 20150613 stock kernel:

Based on the stock samsung sources instead of smdk4210

Support for KSM and zRam

Button backlight control is working

Trim support

Extra free kbytes tunable

VPN is working

Kernel Download:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347766093

(you should use the new 20150629 testkernel from Update2)

Flashable files to enable/disable KSM and zRam:

Enable KSM:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347766094

Enable zRam (300MB on two devices):

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347766096

Disable KSM/zRam:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347766095

The extra free kbytes tunable is working good to reduce direct reclaim.

I would suggest not to use KSM or zRam because of the higher cpu load/battery drain/reduced performance.

For performance reasons it is also not possible to enable KSM and zRam together (the KSM file will disable zRam and the zRam file will disable KSM if enabled)

Please let me know your

experiences with this kernel!

Update:

With this test kernel the voice recording is brocken. Also the video recording and the incall mute function

Update 2:

Here you can find a new kernel which fixes voice recording, incall mute and video recording:
