So, for records keeping and assistance purposes... I am running Candy release v3.6-20150908-Official-quincyatt on a Samsung Note SGH-i717 using the tk-pico-gapps.

1. I can't get Facebook installed (all joking aside, it's used for communicating with people I know). I tried two different earlier builds and a different set of mini gapps. No change. I can select it from the app store, it downloads but won't install (error code -403. Only happens with FB so far (multiple other apps installed without issue).

2. With the earlier 2.5 build, and not including the FB issue above, the only "lag" I experienced was when accessing the app drawer and scrolling between screens (configured to show icons instead of Alphabetical list). I wanted to test in release v3.6-20150908 but can't find the option to switch to icon display for the app drawer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tekweezle:
I got Facebook installed by initiating the download and install process them waiting about 2-3 minutes into the install phase, I reboot the phone and magically it appears. Not the best solution but it works.

Forget about updating it though, you have to Uninstall completely and repeat. I know, how annoying....

As for lag in the launcher, I switched to Nova launcher and it's solved my lag issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] TeamAndroid14:
Yeah, its an issue, but Downloading the apk works. but restart the phone and it will optimize the app http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/facebo...-3-152-beta-android-5-0-android-apk-download/

And as for the trebuchet, it does have lags, but you could use Nova (recommended) and Google now launcher with android M app drawer (recommended) or other launchers. CM has also changed their trebuchet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Vicntc:
Thanks for the suggestions. Overall quite happy with the build and most appreciative of the Dev and teams efforts.

Does anyone know if it's possible to get Samsung Gear working? Play says it can't download because device isn't compatible. Perhaps this is true, perhaps not?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] TeamAndroid14:
Not sure, head over to the Samsung Gear Forum, someone there would probably help you. http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-gear

Just asking...

I am very happy to use this ROM but, just asking, can you make a marshmallow rom or a windows 10 rom? I don't really think is possible "yet" but like I said... "Just Asking"

I am curios :confused:

gapps

ok i have tried 5 different gapps that have been listed as working and none of them are working. i have followed these stepps

[DONE] Boot into recovery (USE MY TWRP (ONLY) in second post or CWM if it's been updated)

[DONE] FULL wipe! (Dalvik Cache, Cache, System, Factory Data Reset)

[DONE] Flash Candy5.zip

[DONE] Boot into system

[DONE] Flash Gapps

[DONE] Reboot and Enjoy

i have tried pa gapps nano the hdpi_minigapps the hdpi_gapps slim add on gapps and i deleted one and dont remember which one it was. anyway the nano wont flash because it says out of space. the others flashed fine but wont run the play store. any help would be greatly appreciated

ok found one that worked. i had to use the pa gapps pico version. all is good in the world again
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] developweb:
Should the permissions not be rw-r--r--? That is what the original file has.

Edit: Just tried this myself on this ROM and it works.

Hm, anyone else experience any bootlooping and if so, how did you manage it?

At this point, I can't tell whether it's because of the battery being all loose/expanded (it's an old one, waiting for a replacement) or if it's the software portion.

AFAIK, clean flashed and followed the instructions in the OP save for the gapps - have tried both the gapps from the OP as well as PA pico (silly insufficient storage space).

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you guys are having the same issues, try downloading a 3rd party app, like google keyboard, I did it and it doesnt disappear.

What a great ROM! :highfive:

I have it installed with all my favorite apps and so far everything works. I was concerned about the Bluetooth connection to my Ford Sync but it works great.

I had one reboot when using the provided web browser and scrolling quickly through a list of data.

I don't use Google apps. Most of the apps I use are apk files or I get through Amazon Appstore.

But so far so good. It is now my daily driver.

Steve,

Leunam, I think the simplest method is to allow the theme engine take care of it for you. That will save you the headache of changing permissions and all that. You may please install nexus pie from the playstore and see how the theme engine will take care of it for you. The nexus pie boot animation is my favorite so far. Give it a try and let me know how it turns out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] celticchrys:
The last time I was running CM on a different device, Trebuchet kept doing this to me. Try running a different launcher.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nsew745:
For those with disappearing keyboards, go into developer options and Disable Hardware Overlays and see if that resolves the problem.

For other problems, I did a wipe 3 times. Then I installed Candy5 ROM. I am using CWM 6.0.5 I also did a delete of all old files in the internal storage sdcard0. Trying different ROMs and apps got it full of a lot of left over files.

Reboots and insufficient storage

I had an issue with the insufficient storage when I tried to flash the GAPPS package also, so I actually restored my previous ROM. Then I did a full wipe (Davlik, system/cache). Then I flashed the zip file for the Rom, then I did not boot back into system. Instead, I flashed the pa_gapps-modular-micro-5.0.1-20150221-signed, did a cache wipe, and was booted up in under 5 mins. I haven't any bootloops or app loss and play store is working perfectly. Audio is 5/5. Thanks DEVs for your work on this awesome ROM and I hope this helps with the bootloop and insufficient storage problems. :good::good:

had to go through it several times and make sure everything was wiped but it is working now. I had the insufficient storage messages too but they disappeared once I went through all the wipes. :good: Messenger seems to be defective but I switched to a 3rd party application and it works fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jisu23:
yeah, it turned out to be the battery. switched in the new one and it's been running like a charm. Unfortunately i had insufficient memory even with the micro package, so I ended up using the pico instead which worked. thanks for the feedback!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nsew745:
Good job gimmeitorilltell,

I ran across my first second hiccup which I can reproduce.

Bluetooth is working well with my Ford Sync. It is my main bluetooth . I went to add another blue tooth device, a DeLorme InReach GPS device. It keeps crashing the bluetooth process.

I looked for how to capture logs. I know I read it here somewhere. A search for logs gives me too many results. Advice?

Since the app is new and bluetooth works fine with the Ford Sync. I suspect it might be a InReach or DeLorme Earthmate app problem.

I'll hunt up another bluetooth device to test with it as well.

Try using the gapps in CandyOTA. Works for me...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Vicntc:
Okay, another update... I am now running Candy v3.6-20150908-Official-quincyatt on a Samsung Note SGH-i717 using the HDPI_miniGAPPS-5.1.1-20150902-signed gapps. So far (touch wood), this combination has eliminated all the the very rare freeze/reboot. Much, much better than with tk-pico for my scenario.

Btw is there any way, post flash to confirm which gapps you are using? I am 90% sure but since I have MDPI_miniGAPPS-5.1.1-20150811-signed, HDPI_miniGAPPS-5.1.1-20150902-signed and HDPI_miniGAPPS-5.1.1-20150811-signed gapps on the SD card, I was hoping to confirm 100%.

3. New issue... Does anyone know why there is no Local Calendar on CM builds? I ask because I have tried two different apps to sync my locally installed (not connected to an Exchange server) Outlook data to this CM-based build and my new OnePlus and neither worked fully. I have been using the VCOrganizer product with all my phones (HTC, Samsung, LG, etc) for years and never had an issue. I have also, for a variety of reasons, also used MyPhoneExplorer with all the previous phones without incident. When it comes to both the Candy build on the i717 and the CM12 build on the OnePlus device, neither has a local calendar.

I did connect with VCO support who had the following response:

which I don't. So, after sending a few screenshots and answering a few more questions, they supplied the following:

Is that correct? Does anyone know if you have to do something special under CM to get access to the local, non-cloud based, Calendar which every other build (Samsung, HTC, LG) provides out of the box? VCO's calendar app is okay but it's nowhere close to the material design offered by the Google Calendar app or some of the other options like the Sunrise calendar. I do not want to store my personal calendar and contact data in the cloud (oddly, the contact sync works fine as VCO has direct access to storing contacts locally on "Phone only" which the calendar does not).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CreekDirt:
I've tried using 3 different GAPPS with no luck. I tried the ones from the OP, from the minimal GAPPs, and from the OTA section. The OTA section will not reboot into recovery on its own. I toggled ORS a couple of times thinking it might be a glitch.

When I try flashing then via TWRP, TWRP loops back to the TWRP splash screen.

Fresh new build

Sorry folks for the lack of communications lately but I have been concentrating on more stable builds & my work. With that said I have "hopefully" a fairly solid build. You'll just have to play around until you find the gapps which will work for your device. Nothing has changed as far as gapps goes but I see some posts about gapps still. Not all devices are "EXACTLY" the same.

Here is your new link for those not currently on candy to receive the notification. candy5-release.v3.9-20151007-OFFICIAL-quincyatt.zip
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] TeamAndroid14:
Its going to take a while before developer has to squash some bugs before jumping to 6.0. Like a lot of developers say, "the longer, the better". Theres also security patches that 6.0 has will affect rooting. For example. Android pay. Android Pay and some apps will not work with rooting because how vulnerable our device is. Basically Verity Complications, Verity which is a security feature, originally found in ChromeOS, designed to provide assured and trustworthy computing devices, preventing malicious software from modifying a device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jeonlab:
Thanks for the update. It seems to be very stable so far. Can you tell us what's new on this update? I also noticed the Candy5 version from the About Phone is v3.8, not v3.9 and the Kernel version is 3.0.101-candy5-g39579e7-dirty. What does 'dirty' mean? Does that mean this Kernel and update is temporary? Anyway, it works fine with the gapps, HDPI_miniGAPPS-5.1.1-20151006-signed.

Thanks again.

For the last three days, there was no reboot. :good:

However, those freezing and closing apps are still there. Especially while scrolling in Gmail, Browser (Chrome as well), and other apps, those apps randomly freeze and do not response for a few to several seconds and close by themselves and produce an error "Unfortunately....." I have tried different CPU governors, but didn't seem to help. Anyway, it seems to me that the freezing (or crashing) happens only when you scroll the screen. This is not just for this new build but previous builds did the same thing. Am I the only one or is there any other people experience this? I wonder if there is any fix or solution.

Thanks again for keeping this ROM alive.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] NoSpamDan:
Are you running SELinux in Enforcing or Permissive?

If Enforcing, try switching to Permissive using the SELinux Mode Changer app found here on XDA.

Also, post a logcat and dmesg kernel log of when the crashes happen.

Boy oh boy, excellent work you're doing here, but when someone is stuck on boot after setting up gapps or ...anything - does this mean that TWRP/CWM is issue or something else. My device is quincyatt.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] developweb:
When you first boot, these roms take about 10 minutes to start. Unless you appear to be boot looping for 15 minutes it may be that you haven't waited long enough. Many users have gapps issues. Knock on wood, I have not. Recovery can be a problem and sometimes the modem/radio. Not much help am I. Read the thread and perhaps you'll find your answer.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
Make sure you're on the correct radio listed in the OP. I believe it's UCMD3? Also make sure you use the twrp listed and give it PLENTY of time to boot. Just flash the rom first and boot into it if you can't boot up after flashing both together. Wipe good too. Follow the directions to a T and you should be good.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nsew745:

What kind of Bluetooth are you using, referring to Car,speakers,headphones, etc. But try the one I just appointed to you and see if it works. If not, ill message the developer on hangouts..... I'll flash back to the C5 test build and see if it works on my end.

Update: Bluetooth headset is working perfectly on the new test build. But not sure with the other builds

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] fwbfwb:
After using this for 3 weeks (following all instructions and using the latest version always), I'm going to have to leave it for good. Overall it's just too unstable. Apps such as Gmail constantly crash while scrolling long emails. Stock browser crashes as well, but at least I can download a 3rd party browser. Bluetooth consistently crashes while running google maps after 30-45 min during road trips. The phone will freeze and restart itself while navigating around the settings and operating system. I've even had the phone restart randomly on it's own a few times per week from just sitting on the table doing nothing.

I hope these issues eventually get fixed as I love the rom otherwise...but stability is super important.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] TeamAndroid14:
Can you provide a logcat ?, ill let the developer know in Hangouts, thanks. But for now, you can use slim, its my daily rom and its great, no lags or crashes so far. Make sure you clean flash, its not based on CM. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347850345

BTW, I do hope you arent using any of the apks. Because some people download apks on apkmirror or any apk website and experience issues and dont realize that its the apk that may cause the issue instead of the rom. Same thing goes to apps that are in beta testing. Im just letting you know.

Hey guys, I just got this rom and for some reason it's pretty laggy.
