[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] AzraelsKiss:
I feel that I must apologize to you. I'm sorry... I may have brushed off your issue a little too hastily. For some bonehead reason, I seem to have neglected to suspect the issue you were reporting is similar to the issue I noticed in the old Google+ version of the app. For whatever reason I have yet to identify, after flashing a new build, Photos will crash while trying to update the device with your photos in the cloud. Unfortunately, the only fix I have found for this issue is to clean flash the ROM again. The issue happens completely randomly, but it could help to not let Photos install automatically with Google's first boot backup/restore system, and install it from Play Store yourself after all other apps are installed. Then open the app before doing any other modifications to a new flash and let the app sync your cloud information to your device before closing the app. I don't know if this really works, or if it's just a placebo effect, but this is pretty much what I did every new flash with the old app.

Once again, I'm sorry for my shortsightedness with your issue, but I hope this information will help you in the future.

Have a good one!

If the device is dropping cellular service an excessive amount, I've found something that seems to help a little bit. Delete all APNs other than the one that works with your carrier. After this, tap on Network Operators in the Cellular network settings, and let it search for available network operators. When it's done searching, either choose your carrier, or let it choose automatically if your carrier isn't listed. I have found this method stabilizes the drops while connected to wifi somewhat for me and has helped stabilize my LTE connection while not connected to wifi as well.

Have a good one!

Unable to flash gapps

Hello, just flashed latest unofficial lollipop v9.0 to my AT&T note 2 (sgh-i317) but so far I have not been able to flash the gapps. I have tried both DU_TBO_GAPPS & Clear-6.2.zips but green guy is belly up with the red triangle out of his stomach. Any and all help is as always GREATLY appreciated and THANKS ahead of time. Paul
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] AzraelsKiss:
Are you using the latest Philz or TWRP recovery? Have you tried downloading the GAPPS package again? I have not heard of any other reports of anyone having problems with flashing the latest TBO GAPPS. What error is it giving you when you try to flash it? Please try downloading the GAPPS package again, do a complete clean flash, and flash the ROM and GAPPS again. Thank you.

Have a good one!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] atlasdc:
Hi [MENTION=3964027]AzraelsKiss[/MENTION], 1) I am using CWM-based Recovery v6.0.1.4. 2) Yes, I have tried 3 different times for the download and tried both TBO & Banks with the same results, dead dude with red triangle. 3) It reads,Apps by TeamBlackOut, set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed E: error in /sdcard/0/0/0/DU_TBO_GAPPS_6-2.zip (Status 7) Installation aborted. I should say that I came from a stock 4.4.2 note 2 that was locked at the AT&T spinning globe (it would stop spinning and lock). Tried others but yours is the only rom that loaded and now my note will fire back up but with out the gapss loaded. Thank you for your work, smooth rom at this point for the note 2 i317. Paul

Bluetooth force Reboot

Hello I just installed your v9.3 and most everything is working great. Once issue that I am having is Bluetooth. I will have my Canadian Bell Samsung Galaxy Note 2 synced to my Bluetooth speaker and playing music and then all of a sudden it will randomly reboot. I am just wondering if there may be a fix for this issue? Thank you for all that you have done to bring Android 5.1.1 to the Note 2.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] AzraelsKiss:
I'm sorry, but bluetooth issues have been reported on many custom lollipop ROMs for t0lte based devices and have not yet been fixed. Although I have not experienced any reboots related to bluetooth on my device, you are not the first user to report similar issues, so it's reasonable that the reboots could be related to the issues affecting the custom lollipop ROMs. I continue to look for fixes for these issues and hope someone figures something out soon.

Have a good one!

---------- Post added at 05:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:07 PM ----------

I would recommend trying TWRP. Others who have had the Status 7 error with CWM based recoveries have reported not having the issues with TWRP. The error has something to do with the recovery trying to verify that the package is designed to be installed on the device in question, but for some reason, the recovery doesn't find the proper information in the zip. I believe there may be a setting in Philz that can prevent the error, but I don't have that information on me, as I personally use TWRP. If you don't want to use TWRP, I would suggest you try the BaNkS GAPPS, because as far as I know, BaNkS doesn't create the same error. Hope this information helps.

Have a good one!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] atlasdc:
Thanks [MENTION=3964027]AzraelsKiss[/MENTION], I did try the Banks a couple of times and got the same error. Are you refferring to philz_touch_4.64-n7100.tar.md5 or something else. Sorry for the noob questions. Paul:confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] AzraelsKiss:
It would appear that philz is no longer being developed, but that does appear to have been one of the versions, although I would recommend using one for the n7105 if you're installing on a device compatible with my build.

Have a good one!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] atlasdc:
Hello [MENTION=3964027]AzraelsKiss[/MENTION] again, I got Philz latest and i guess last update zip and installed it. I went through the wipes & resets, did the rom and then Philz zip and hooray :good:gapps loaded, THANKS. I do have a couple questions, 1) I have lost my 4G-LTE, down to 3g (changed pref and now get "H"), 2) I could be mistaken but I thought with loading gapps I would get things like S-Pen, etc. I can see no difference in my apps than the ones I had from just your rom and it had 4G-LTE. Sorry, noob confused, I thought this gave the Note 2 the Note 4 experience? I know it has the Lollipop 5.1.1 loaded on it now, but no Note 4 advantages (I think). Thank you for your help in getting my Note 2 running again!!! Paul
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] AzraelsKiss:
Dirty Unicorns is based on AOSP (Android Open Source Project). To have the "Note 4 Experience", including the S-Pen apps, you would need to flash a TouchWiz (Samsung stock) based ROM. GAPPS only provides the Google proprietary services required to run Google apps and Play Store. If you want the "Note 4 Experience" I would recommend finding a version of Ditto Note 4 for your device (and before you ask... No... I don't have a link for that).

if you would like to continue with Dirty Unicorns Instead, let's see if we can get your LTE back. First, you'll want to go into Settings > More > Cellular Networks > Access Point Names and either choose the APN for your carrier, or add the proper APN for your carrier (Google it) and delete all other APNs. After that, while still in Cellular Networks, tap on Network Operators (do this while disconnected from wifi... There are issues with the cellular connection while connected to wifi that hasn't been resolved yet), tap OK if it pops up a warning about your data connection being disconnected temporarily, let it search for the available network operators, then select your carrier or tap on letting it choose the carrier automatically. Your cellular connection should drop for a while (less than a minute usually) but it'll come back after a bit. If you're still on 3G, H, or H+ when you get signal again, shutoff your device then power it back on and you should get LTE when your cellular connection re-establishes itself.

Have a good one!

Hi [MENTION=3964027]AzraelsKiss[/MENTION], Thank you for all your work on this rom and helping me to get things up and running. The LTE is up when not in range of my wifi, so, awesome. Being new to trying the Note 2 to Note 4 rom update I was unaware of the difference between AOSP & Samsung stock based roms. Years ago I did it to my Captivate but times they do change.

The phone is running smooth as it is with what appears to be no problems what so ever, MUCH APPRECIATED!!!

Paul
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] AzraelsKiss:
Although the S-Pen apps are unavailable in the AOSP builds, the S-Pen can still be used as a capacitive stylus, so you can get much of the functions out of third party apps as you could from TouchWiz apps. I personally use OneNote in place of S-Note, but others prefer Evernote or Papyrus. If you look around, ya should be able to find other apps to replace the other TouchWiz apps.

Have a good one!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] atlasdc:
Thanks alot for the headsup and suggestions. I should have told you also that the battery life now is over the moon. Before I would get a day, may another half and then down in the low teens or single digit. Since yesterday around 5pm until 9:02 tonight I am still in the 90%'s, wow.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] atlasdc:
Hi [MENTION=3964027]AzraelsKiss[/MENTION], flashed v9.4 and noticed that my phone doesn't hangup from a call when I push the hangup button. They have to hangup or I have to close the phone. Has this happened to others? Also, I got the LTE to come up, does it also have to have 4G or are they one-in-the-same?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] AzraelsKiss:
I'm sorry, but I have not had any issues with not being able to hangup a call by pressing the hang up button, nor have I received any reports from others of them having any similar issues, so it may be an issue specific to your device. First thing you'll want to try is rebooting the phone. If this doesn't work, it may be a bad flash. Sometimes, when you flash a custom ROM, you may either get a corrupted download, or the flash may get corrupted. To fix your issue, you may need to re-download the ROM and GAPPS, and verify the checksum of the files before doing a new clean flash with those files. If this doesn't fix your issue, I'm not sure what else could be done to fix it, unless more people start having a similar issue. You could try setting the power button to hang up in accessibility options as a workaround for the time being. Good luck!

Have a good one!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] atlasdc:
Thanks, I will keep trying and see where I end up. Again, thanks for all the help!

hi everyone,
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] AzraelsKiss:
If you're talking about when you're tapping the shutter button, then 2 to 3 seconds is a bit long. I mean... The camera doesn't trigger instantly for any picture, but the better the light and subject, and the steadier your hand is, it should be able to focus and trigger in less that a second. If it's taking longer, especially in ideal conditions, then there may be a problem with your camera's focus... Perhaps the lens is dirty. Or maybe it's your camera settings... Or your scene is not very suitable for the photo. What I would do is clean the lens, make sure you have plenty of light on the scene, steady your hand, and wait to push the shutter button until after the camera gets focused. If it still takes so long... It's either hardware, or a bad flash, because my device isn't showing such an issue. Good luck!

Have a good one!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] tungfrance:
it takes often 2,3s when the condition is good but the object was moving. when the object is immobile, it still takes about 1s.

i'll try to clean the lens.

Thank you for your response.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] AzraelsKiss:
Unfortunately, these old Note IIs didn't get the super fast cameras that later generations have come to implement. They take good pictures most of the time, but we do have to deal with some less than optimal performance at times. The most you can hope for is that some third party camera apps may give a little more performance.

Can some please guide how to enable wi-fi calling on Note2 with DU build (i am on may 19th build).

Thanks a lot Azrael, any idea on which build I can find this enabled ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] AzraelsKiss:
The one I seen it reported on so far for DU is for shamu, but I guess other Nexus devices may have it as well.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] AzraelsKiss:
I've just realized something... I may have been mistaken on what you were asking for... Were you asking about VoLTE? Then no... It's not likely supported on my builds. But if you're talking about SIP or an app supported VOIP solution, such as Google Voice, then yes... You should be able to use it. Google Voice can be used through Hangouts and Hangouts Dialer, and other app supported VOIP solutions should be able to be handled through their respective apps. SIP accounts should be able to be entered in the phone app settings, but I haven't used a SIP account in years, so I haven't tested it. All I can say is give it a try.

Sorry for the confusion.

Have a good one!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] tungfrance:
Hi,

I flashed your latest version DU 5.1.1 but i've lost the network since then. I've searched for solutions and someone told that it's because of CWM version. i flashed with 6.0.4.3 but some said it must be flashed with the 6.0.4.5. is that right ? if yes, can you tell me where to find the CMW 6.0.4.5 for note 2 AT&T ?

Thank you very much.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] AzraelsKiss:
You don't have enough posts to post in the development forums, so it sends your post to the Q&A.

I would personally recommend using TWRP, but I believe there shouldn't be a problem with using CWM (I could be wrong, but I haven't received any complaints about it recently). If you do a search, you should be able to find a link to the latest version of CWM (I would definitely recommend using the latest version of any recovery). Have you tried assigning your network operator in the Cellular Networks settings? If that doesn't work, then I'd definitely recommend installing the most recent recovery and try downloading and installing the ROM and GAPPS again. Good luck!

Have a good one!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] tungfrance:
Thank you, AzraelsKiss.

i have an another question : do i have to find the latest CWM for note 2 or one CWM is supposed to work for all devices ?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] AzraelsKiss:
Just like ROMs recoveries are specific to the device, so you MUST only install recoveries built for your device family (t0lte).

Persistent Lockscreen Notifications

First of all I'd like to say that I just flashed this ROM yesterday and I am absolutely loving it. You guys have done such a great job and I only have one problem. Is there any way to disable persistent notifications on the lock screen?

I use an apps that have ongoing notifications which gets annoying on the lock screen. If possible can u guys please add it in the next update? That would make this perfect.

P.s cheers for an amazing ROM

P.p.s I attached a picture to show what I mean
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] AzraelsKiss:
In Settings > Sound & notification you can choose to disable all lockscreen notifications, or you can go to App notifications and block or prioritize notifications from specific apps. Other than that, I don't believe there is any way to disable persistent notifications, nor do I think DU is planning on working on such any time soon, especially with android M coming up before too long.

Have a good one!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] VaniENES:
Thanks. I just ended up disabling lock screen notification.

But I was wondering how to see how long the battery has been on from a charge.I want to see how much better the battery life is. Thanks in advance!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] AzraelsKiss:
Unlike KitKat, Lollipop doesn't easily show how long the device has been off the charger, but there should be some apps on the Play store that provide similar functionality.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] VaniENES:
Thank you for your very quick and thorough replies, but I have run into another problem. Wifi-direct and Bluetooth dont seem to work for my. I tried connecting to my s5 but although it was showing for my other note 2 on stock, it was not coming on my note 2 running newest dirty unicorns build neither, can it be discovered by other devices. It was like that for both WiFi direct and Bluetooth. Any help would be highly appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] AzraelsKiss:
I'm not sure about wifi-direct (wifi-direct may not be fully functional) but bluetooth needs for you to set SELINUX to permissive. Bluetooth isn't compatible when SELINUX is enforced just yet.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Masterjuggler:
Hi, I've been trying to install a custom rom (at this point ANY custom rom) on my friend's phone. I have worked on several phones before, including my own sprint GS3, but this is my first time trying to work around a locked bootloader, and BOY is it a pain, haha. I'm no dev, but I would like to think that I'm pretty competent.

First a few things to note, are that the phone is currently on NI1 (Been too much of a sissy to go to NJ4 in case it screws something up, I don't even know why), it is the 16Gb version, I am using an external sd card to flash everything, and yes I am flashing loki-doki after everything.

So what I've done so far is:

- Try to install TWRP

- Find out that won't work and finally figure out I need safestrap

- Successfully install safestrap after using towelroot by ODIN-ing the NC1 kernel then going back to the NI1 kernel

- Try to flash Resurrection Remix and KToonsez kernel using a new rom-slot, and wind up soft-bricking (stuck on bootloader screen, can get to download mode)

- ODIN NB1 tar then ODIN NI1 update

- Repeat the last few steps several times because I'm too idiotic to realize that it JUST ISN'T GOING TO WORK!

- Finally find a reference to flashing the ATT kernel modules after the rom. That got me past the soft brick and safestrap screen, but I don't even see a boot animation

As of right now my sequence to successfully not soft-bricking (what an accomplishment) is to flash the rom>gapps>ATT kernel module>supersu>loki-doki>wipe dalvik/cache

Now, is it worth it having already spend a good 7 hours, just to get a custom rom? Of course not, it's not my phone and my friend isn't picky. He'd be just fine with rooted TW. However, It kills me that I don't know what's going on, so here I am lol.

TL;DR: Phone has safestrap, is rooted, but any time I flash a rom it gets past the boot loader/safestrap screen and never shows a boot animation, or anything past that. Can anyone help figure out what's going on please?

Thanks in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
You can only flash touch wiz based roms with safestrap and you can't flash kernels with safestrap. That's been your problem with soft bricking.

Edit, see this for roms you can flash http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=53758227
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Masterjuggler:
Thanks guys. I thought I read through the whole thread, but there is so much information, it's pretty scattered, I must have missed the thing about only TW roms working.

Now a few more questions:

1) Is it worth updating to NJ4? The phone is new and doesn't have any app data or anything that would be missed by updating. I see quite a few roms in 4.4.4, but it looks like most of them are AOSP based, which leads me to my next question...

2) Is there a way to get AOSP roms to work? I see all of these AOSP based roms, obviously for this phone, but it would be pointless to make them if they don't work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
It wouldn't hurt to update to nj4. But it's not going to help you either. Only phones on mdb or mdl bootloader can flash non touch wiz based roms using loki. And you can't go back to those bootloaders
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Masterjuggler:
Alright then. Hyperdrive looks pretty good, I'll try that along with Ktoonsez kernel. I'll report back later to let you know how it goes. Thanks again!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
Again, you can't flash a kernel in safestrap
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Masterjuggler:
Oh, I get it now. That didn't quite register before. So just to confirm, after I flash the rom (which already has its own custom kernel included), I still need to flash the stock ATT kernel, correct?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Cats_PJs:
Flash the rom, super su, and the att module for your base. Hyperdrive is a very good rom, good luck. Also the rom doesn't include a kernel, your original kernel stays put. That's why only tw roms work, because your new rom has to be compatible with the kernel already on your phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Masterjuggler:
Just reporting in, I now have the phone up and running using Hyperdrive Rom. Thanks for the help!

I actually had a problem where it would not shut down correctly, but found out it was because I was installing the rom in a rom-slot in safestrap. As soon as I tried the stock rom slot, it worked flawlessly.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisbroncos76:
Hi there, I hope I am doing this correctly, if not, please tell me how to do it correctly and I will fix it.

I got an S5 on kijiji, I know it was legit. The guy got it from Wind. He flashed the **** out of it and now the fingerprint and other stuff doesn't work. I want to put it back to absolute Wind stock just for peace of mind and to use all features.

When I checked the model number in the settings it said it was SM-G900F, which makes no sense seeing as he got it from Wind. I downloaded the stock G900F ROM but when I was about to use Odin, the phone said in Download mode that it was G900W8. *panicking intensifies*

I e-mailed him and he said he FLASHED THE KERNAL to SM-G900F from SM-G900W8 because there is more development for the european F model.

The whole problem with this is that I want to go back to absolute stock and get the OTA updates. I am fairly squeamish when it comes to this sort of things. How do I flash the kernal back to G900W8. Or should I not even bother? What are my options? Please help. I am squeamish but I'm not stupid. I can follow instructions. I am downloading the stock G900W8 ROM now so that I'll have both and be ready.
