Is everyone having kind of glitchy unsmooth animations? Just want to know if that's typical or unique to me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tvwebguy:
Yes. I do get some jumpy transitions. Not a deal breaker for me. It could be a hardware thing, I suppose.

I meant no disrespect, I was only curious. I've only heard good things about 5.1 but no release info other than it is already on a few phones in Asia. Sorry.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] k3v0:
Chrome is working much better in the latest nightly (03/08)

Update: Enough changed to require a factory reset.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ColeTrain!:
Been running this a few days. I can use this as a dd. Battery very good.

I just installed the shift kernel. Just now. Gosh i love over clocking. I mean, this CM ROM was good. It didn't need it. But I still love it!

When I play music via Bluetooth. It stutters couple times a song. I changed min CPU to 500 and it still did it. I just installed the shift, so I can see if that helps.

My audio via earpiece and speaker seems "blown" like when you have turned up the volume too high for too long and the speaker is shot. Its on both speaker and headset so I don't believe it is really blown. Bluetooth in the truck for phone audio seems fine.

So let me know if you have any fixs that I forgot that I read.

Thanks for the hard work dev's.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] doubleu:
This has been an ongoing issue with Cm11, cm12, and even some of the past releases of some of the factory rooted roms for the L900 as well. No dev ever addresses it, and nobody ever looks into the cause of it. It only happens with a small group of us I think, so it's not been a big enough issue to address i guess. I've tried different kernels with different screen-off cpu settings, and nothing seems to help. I've been using RWilco's 1.3 rooted factory rom, and have had the best luck with no audio stuttering for the past 2 months.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] internetpilot:
I have no problems with bluetooth on any Touchwiz ROM, I have no problems on CM11 except with SMS over Bluetooth on my Toyota Sequoia, but I have perfectly functioning SMS over Bluetooth CM12 but have stuttering audio. I have decided to stick with CM11 as my daily driver and just tolerate the lack of SMS over Bluetooth since everything else is just about perfect.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ColeTrain!:
So I have never been a dirty flasher.

The shift kernel was running fine until a group text came in and then I got the "APN setting" issue. I tried some things that had success but managed to wipe settings. This is what I'm most concerned with. How can I try a new nightly or shift and keep the settings? Do you guys have success? I don't want to wipe back to factory. As instructed. Is that possible?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ColeTrain!:
Also, when I bluetooth on my home portable speaker it skips, but in the truck it doesn't. I'm plugged in in the truck. You think its the Bluetooth, CPU minimum, or music player?

I wouldn't mind fiddling with it, where you think I should start?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dudebowski:
in regards to the skippy music....

I'm no developer, but putting 2 and 2 together I hope that @sbrissen et. al. has seen or can take a look at the FloatingPoint (FP)bug that was found on an older 4210 exynos platform only a few months ago. Although @zeitferne found an explanation why this bug never affected the 4412 platform, considering the similarity in the symptoms ( events happened randomly and were not reproducible, connectivity would randomly be lost, music playback would stop and require a reboot, etc), I have a hunch there's probably something similar here? I also know that these kernel commits were merged into the official CM branches for the respective devices on the older exynos platforms, but I'm not sure how to check if they ever made it into the 4412 platform's branches (such as the SPH-L900.)

Long detail of the FPbug listed here [note this is

NOT

a kernel for SPH-L900]:

[Kernel] FPBug: First really stable 4.x kernel for the Galaxy S2 i9100

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/deve...ernel-fpbug-stable-4-x-kernel-galaxy-t2978088

Second thought on the skippy music, I've also read something regarding using large (>1mb) hosts files causing some lag that can lead to audio degradation. While it might not effect this more powerful device, I remember on an older samsung it caused some awful decoding lag that sounded like electric sheep bahhh-ing. Apparently any DNS request and the resultant grep through the big hosts file was enough to completely ruin the listening experience. I can't say if this ever effected bluetooth though, I only ever experienced it through the headphone jack.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rivethead23:
Thanks Dude you might have just solved a problem that prevented me from getting rid of my Old Nexus phone. I never could play music on any ROM other than touchwiz without lagging/skipping periodically. I use an ad blocker and it replaces the hosts files on my Note II. I'll try this and see if it helps. I've been lugging around 1 phone for music only for almost 2 years because of this issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] doubleu:
With the possibility that an adblocking hosts file could be the culprit with stuttering audio, i decided to give CM12 one more try this afternoon. I went to try bluetooth audio streaming in my car, and i'm having the same thing happen that I had back in January when I tried CM12, sped-up audio via bluetooth. I don't remember seeing anyone else ever mention this in this thread, but has anyone experienced this? I've tried local mp3s played with PowerAmp and the built-in 'Music' app, and with both, the mp3s sound like they're playing at 110%. What sort-of thing can cause this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ColeTrain!:
Mine is the opposite. It stutters as though there is lack of power. But only a couple times a song. Not in my truck, on my home speaker. Which my wife's doesn't stutter on the speaker and this didn't before.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ColeTrain!:
Randomly the APN showed up and wouldn't go away. I used a nandroid to get working again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] altimuh:
On 3/20 nightly. Two issues:

I have a few contacts set up for Dtmf dialing that's worked on every rom both on Touchwiz and cm11/12, but now no longer prompts me with the dialogue box, "Do you wish to send the following tones? " (or something like that).... In the contacts I've set the phone number as 1234567890;555 (so 1-0 is the phone number, ";" is the pause and 555 is the pin I'm prompted to send whenever I want to. In the latest nightly, I no longer get the prompt..... Not sure when this got broken, but how can we fix this? As an FYI, I've tried to toggle the length of dtmf tones in the dialer settings, but I still don't get the prompt.

Second issue is also in the dialer. Dialer - Settings - Call Settings - Voicemail - Setup. By default it's set to *86 and I can no longer change that to my own phone number as Sprint requires.

Not sure how I fixed it - but both of these are working now.

It might be connected, but I was also getting "SystemUpdateService" as a massive wakelock. Did a little searching and wound up downloading "disable service" from Google Play. Clicking on System and scrolling down to Google Play Services I found quite few things disabled. After enabling them the wakelock seems to be gone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ColeTrain!:
This DNS settings flicker in and out. Getting pretty annoying.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] altimuh:
Still on 3/20....

"SystemUpdateService" keeps on coming back as a major wakelock.

When I use the app "disable service" from Google Play. Again in System - Google Play Services I see a few things disabled - ones that I previously enabled. This has happened a few times.

Anyone else have issues like this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] williamvito:
I have not had a random audio stutter perse, just a brief, but definitely noticeable, pause whenever i open/close the notification tab, open/close the app launcher, and return the the home screen.

If I leave it to idle there is not brief pause, could it possibly be a system resource issue?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sbrissen:
I just pushed a bunch of patches to use RIL from the samsung KK release and also to fix GPS! Only thing I have noticed is radio takes a minute to come up after a reboot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Devotech:
Last issue I have other than GPS (Thanks for putting the fix in!) is that I have to force the phone to CDMA w/EVDO only. Ting is my service provider. The APNs are only visible while no data is connected, I am blocked from viewing them once data is established. Even though the Ting APN is present it is not selectable, as it has no selection ring next to it. Modifying the Sprint entries seem to just mess up connecting totally. LTE is a no go.

Any advice?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] AaronCompNetSys:
My wife's Note 2 is on Ting with 4.4.4, to get full correct service I had to use APN Backup & Restore to export the settings after successful activate with the stock ROM (you need to root it and move app to system). Once importing into CM11 everything worked flawlessly. Its possible this process will work for CM12.

---------- Post added at 06:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:40 PM ----------

I've seen this as a major issue with CM11. It appeared to be triggered by the account that was logged in, as whatever device I logged into, triggered the issue. I had to enable/disable just as you did to clear the wakelock. My wife's account never triggered the issue on the same device.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rivethead23:
I created a new APN entry with settings for Ting and was able to select it. That's how i worked around it at least.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Philux:
Ting LTE APN's

I just wanted to share this with you guys to get LTE on TING working thanks to t3rmin in the Nexus forums. I figured this out on my Note 3 using CM12 and this process should work on the Note 2 as well.

First do a backup in recovery in case anything goes wrong that way you can always revert back.

During this process I had a working wifi connection, because APN settings does not like to pull up when connected to cellular.

Download the attachment (Ting_APN_CM12.zip) that has the correct APN's for TING (and other Sprint MVNO's) and flash it via recovery.

Because APN settings are missing from the main menu, I used Nova Lancher to create a shortcut to allow access to it.

Install Nova Lancher from the Android Market if you don't already have it.

Use Nova Launcher to setup a shortcut by temporarily using Nova as your launcher. Once in Nova launcher click on the home screen somewhere to create a new widget Select widgets - activities - settings - APN's

This will leave a shortcut to access the APN's menu.

Normally when you enter into APN's settings you will get an error stating "Access Point Name settings are not available for this user". I have found the only way to access the APN's menu is when you reboot and the system comes back on while connected to a working wifi access point. You have to enter and exit APN's several times until you finally see your actual APN's settings. But eventually you will be given access (Keep Trying)

Once in the APN settings and you can see all the APN's. Select the three dot Menu at the top right and select reset to default. After that you will see a new list of different APN's. For LTE on Ting (Sprint MVNO) select the dot next to “APN2 LTE Internet”.

Reboot or cycle Airplane mode on/off and you should eventually have an LTE connection.

Good luck, and I hope this helps any fellow Ting or Sprint MVNO users out there. Remember if you happen to have any issues, just restore the backup you made in recovery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] AaronCompNetSys:
Disable and enable works much better now, thank you very much! Will save me much battery being able to trigger when needed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Philux:
I am considering putting CM12 on my wife's Note 2. What baseband and kernel versions is everyone having the most luck with? It looks like most of the existing kernels for the Note 2 have stopped development back in 2013/2014. I know CM has its own kernel, but last time I tried it the audio had a hissing/popping like noise in it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tvwebguy:
I'm on baseband L900VPAMC2 with the regular CM kernel that comes in the nightlies. I'm currently running the 4/1 nightly and things have been very smooth.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Only custom kernel is Shift kernel but it needs an update for 12.0/12.1. You can go to the n7105 section and find my modified version that will work on cm12/12.1. It is labeled as t0lte but it does work on the l900.

Edit: here is my dropbox link to the kernel.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
For those wondering cm 12.1 will be showing up soon. The 12.1 device trees for our device have been added so builds should be showing up soon. Also the "Bill Gates" era of cm is starting to show up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dudebowski:
http://www.cyanogenmod.org/blog/all-about-l-part-1

Some 5.1 info directly from their blog, they seem to have been made aware of all the commotion in the forums.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sbrissen:
Correct, I created the 12.1 branches the other day. Building/booting 12.1 using them seems to be working without any further changes. We should be good to go as soon as nightlies start
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] altimuh:
Thanks for the heads up. Any comment on how it compares to cm12.0? (which is great for me)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
12.1 is better in many ways and you will like it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] williamvito:
Any movement on the audio??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] AaronCompNetSys:
It runs great on my G, very smooth.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tvwebguy:
Will 12.1 show up in the current nightly string or will we need to look elsewhere when it is released?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] altimuh:
Anyone play around with the Battery Saver mode?

I tried it on a whim, and I feel like the phone is noticeably snappier - which is odd to me..... I thought it was supposed to reduce performance!! Sure some of the animations are gone, touch vibrations are removed, and status bar is orange during use of this mode. (I'm under the impression that this can be modified with an xposed module).

Anyway - has anyone else played around with this mode and noticed it being snappier?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] BTslo:
Do you dirty flash nightlies? I did it twice and now there is some lag present along with occasional skips when listening to music with headphones. I changed the governor to ondemand and raised the frequency limit to 300mhz which helped a bit.

I'll probably do a fresh flash when 5.1 rolls out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] altimuh:
Nope - no dirty flashes here.

I tried ondemand and 300 and the lag got worse.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] altimuh:
Saw an update specific for our device for the next nightly.

What does: "l900: update props" mean?

Randomly today I got a "no apns on this device" message on the screen. No mms/sms working at that time. I looked it up and one solution was to download "Root Tweaker" from the play store and check off "Cyanogenmod Apns List". Did that and I was instantly back in business. Any idea what caused this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sbrissen:
I just updated the list of proprietary files. Did you send or receive an mms message? There is a bug now that drops data when sending or receiving mms. Working it out now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] altimuh:
I'm on the 4/1 nightly (not sure if that makes a difference). I received text messages right before this happened yesterday. I thought I was in a typical crappy Sprint area, but today I'm in the same location and I'm streaming Pandora and sending/receiving text messages.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tvwebguy:
http://www.cyanogenmod.org/blog/all-about-l-part-2 Good stuff!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ColeTrain!:
Sorry. I couldn't take it. Jumped ship. The lag BC of APN and Bluetooth stutter...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tvwebguy:
Not a lot of updates for the L900 in the last few days, but, I'm glad to see Cyanogen moving to the dirty flash model. That's what it will take to get CM more mainstream.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] altimuh:
Another issue - and I know it affected the 4/1 and 4/22 builds (I don't flash each nightly).

When watching a local video - no problem. But if I wish to advance/fast forward a video and then push play - only audio, no video shows. Multiple video players, same thing.

I noticed today while on the 4/1 build and thought maybe this is something I never noticed or some data got corrupted, so I flashed today's nightly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] altimuh:
Thanks for the tip about nuplayer - on a whim I tried switching to awesome player and I get no video playback. Doing a little search, I read that nuplayer is set to default on cm12,whereas awesome player is set to default on cm12.1. Odd.

Anyone brave enough to try cm12.1 out? I got a busy week and don't have much time to jump into the deep end of the pool! Lol

My wife thinks I'm crazy every time I flash my phone!!! What is wrong with your phone now!?! Lol

Maybe I am crazy :cyclops:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] 1midniterider:
I tried updating to 12.1, but had lots of FC's, so I switched back to 12.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] altimuh:
We'll I AM crazy.

I clean flashed 12.1 but did a backup of 12 just in case it went bonkers. No force closing on anything so far. Everything seems smooth.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] 1midniterider:
Which gapps did you use? Also, is GPS working or is the fix still required?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Philux:
Was the FC's Google Apps related? When I updated from 12 to 12.1 I had to flash Google Apps for Android 5.1 to make everything work correctly.

You can find Google Apps for CM12.1 (Android 5.1) at PA-GOOGLE APPS Plus(All ROM's) or also in the CyanogenMod Wiki

---------- Post added at 02:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:06 PM ----------

I didn't test the GPS, but if you had it working on 12 it should work on 12.1

Also you can dirty flash on top of 12 to upgrade/update to 12.1. Same as you would do with a nightly. I would make a backup just to be on the safe side.

Just make sure you flash Google Apps for Android 5.1 at the same time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] altimuh:
gapps-lp-20150420-signed.zip from the wiki.

GPS is working fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] 1midniterider:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Lurker1126:
NFC?

So, I still cannot get Google Wallet NFC to work. I am going to assume this just hasn't been fixed but I haven't seen it mentioned or asked in a while. I just want to make sure I am not missing something if it is possible to get it working.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] altimuh:
Tried numerous times and ways to install xposed - all result in boot loops. I guess we'll have to wait until something more than an Alpha release for 5.1 xposed comes out - man that bunch over in that part of XDA is completely crazy!!! (They are not into helping anyone out!!! I didn't even bother to post my issues there - I read too many people getting chewed out!)

Back to 12.1 - I still have the same video issues (playing a local video, and trying to fastforward/advance = audio but no video).

Other than those two annoyances (xposed, and video issues), with only a few hours on the clock of 12.1 - it seems to be working ok. If I notice any other issues, I will bring them here.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
Try going into dev options and change it to use nuplayer.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] altimuh:
Nuplayer is set by default (I think). Either way, I've tried both Nuplayer and Awesomeplayer - Nuplayer at least shows the video (but messes up after advancing/fast forwarding) whereas Awesomeplayer doesn't work at all.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] williamvito:
To those on 12.1, is the audio stutter still present?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] kebo3473:
Trusted Places no longer present

I'm not sure if anyone else is seeing this, but I no longer have an option for trusted places under smartlock.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] kebo3473:
Sorry, it's there now

Trusted places now shows.

Device encryption still does not work in 12.1
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Philux:
Xposed is working on 5.1 however it is still in alpha stage and only some modules are working.

If Xposed is causing a boot loop for you, it is most likely one of your modules. If you are upgrading from 12 to 12.1 you need to disable all Xposed modules before upgrading. If you have already upgraded just flash the new xposed-arm from the link below and enable any modules that have been confirmed working from the second link.

Question for those with more knowledge than me.

Do we still need to flash the updated SuperSu and GApps everytime we flash 12.1?
