[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kataclysm:
Portable Hotspot doesn't work

So I'm not sure if this is noted or not.

I've upgraded my Galaxy Note II to The latest Build of Cyanide (Cyanide-v5.0-i605-Detoxified-20160711), and I've noticed that turning on the hotspot does not actually turn on the hot spot. Not a huge deal breaker, but kinda lost a useful feature.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] krazzykiller:
All my SD cards are showing corrupted. I can't mount them or format them. There's nothing wrong with them. I have been on att ROMs for years but I flashed this one to get back on Vzw for the first time since like twenty twelve. And I've had all kinds of problems getting my Verizon branded note 2 back on Verizon lol. Anyway what's the deal with the portable storage? Even otg drives show corrupted and can't be mounted or formatted.

Has anyone else had this problem with thr sd card. Is it related to something with the trend away from expandable memory in these newer phones? I can't seem to figure this one out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kataclysm:
I'm using a 2 GB SD card on a Note 2 with this rom with no problem; what's the capacity of the card you are using? I'm not sure if the Galaxy II supports SDHC cards, and I don't have one on hand to check. It also might be perhaps the reader in your phone isn't working properly anymore. (Hardware issue?)

But I'm fairly sure this isn't a ROM related issue, as SD cards seem to be working just fine for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] NWNJ:
I can't make calls at all and can't access the network at all. Did you ever figure anything out?

---------- Post added at 05:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:30 PM ----------

I am on ND7

---------- Post added at 05:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:30 PM ----------

I can however make and receive texts, just no calls. It says, "can't connect to network".

I just found a possible solution. I had installed Cyanide Android and then I could not make or receive phone calls on Verizon. I used my other phone on the same rom to determine that it needed to be on VZWINTERNET under settings, cellular networks, then access point names. Who could imagine it would be that easy. I made that change, as it had been on Verizon Internet. After making the change you MUST reboot the phone before it will work. I rebooted after making the change and I can now make and receive calls. Amazing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] krazzykiller:
2 64gb a 32 and a counterfeit 64 that is actually 4 GB all show bad. Also tried an external 2tb HDD that showed the same. It's confirmed a ROM issue. Possibly a slight difference in my firmware since I never flashed the update. I also had this on the att cyanide l and vr toxin.

No expanded storage of any kind.l have a nas server. I can also access my sdcard in twrp. But I have no idea where to even start to fix this problem.

About the APN problem. This is the only rom that I haven't had that problem on. The thing about the APN settings is that I've never seen it effect anything except mobile data and MMS. I've never heard of a bad APN preventing phone calls. And I've had this phone on ever network except sprint.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] grimloktt:
Sorry for the dumb question but do we use the Arm64 gapps?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] micahs:
Nope, just the 32bit version. I flashed "open_gapps-arm-6.0-stock-*.zip" and I was good to go!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] grimloktt:
Thank you!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jaws4God:
I may be getting a Note 2.. and starting to shop around for ROMs.. is this one still getting updated? Stable? any bugs?

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] HeadKase:
I gave this ROM a shot yesterday from a fresh install. The CyanideMods menu selection inside of system settings caused settings to crash and so did Weather. CyanideMods in the pull down shade worked. I set an alarm last night before bed and couldn't shut it off this morning. The sliders didn't move at all. I rebooted my phone and when it booted the alarm started going off again and I still couldn't stop it. I used TWRP 3.0.2 and the latest opengapps. Overall it ran sluggish. I don't think my note 2 likes Marshmallow. Maybe I got a diabetic note 2 haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jaws4God:
are others having these issues or does it appear to be phone specific?

thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Taxmaster:
Does Undetected Wi-Fi Tether work on the latest rom from 8/19?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ufkal:
I just installed this on my retired Note II. Dear Gods this is amazing. I may be using my Note II for a while now. I can only hope you do some development for the HTC 10. I'd love to see this on that phone as well.

Thanks for this Rom!

I like the idea. Hadn't tried it before. Downloading now.

Edit: Installed it with the new update. Pretty sweet. For some reason the theme engine broke for me since the new update though. All my themes fail to install. Anyone else having this issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] glockman4519:
I use these gapps exclusively on this phone. They won't work on my one Plus though. What's nice is that you can run it at any time to add or remove any gapps when ever you like.

Also, "Rogersb11", the new build is running great so far. Thank you so much.

"Chance Favors the Prepared"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] momule:
Ditto and Ditto. Rogersb11 you my friend have a 6 pack coming your way. This is by far the best L Rom I have run yet and Im a crack flasher. Only thing is I have not be able to get working on any of the L roms is netflix. I always wipe the phone via back and reset and then boot to CWM to erase data, Cache, Delvik. Then flash Rom/apps/kernel. I let play store back up apps. I have tried letting it install netflix and a reboot or two before trying to open netflix and then also tried not letting it restore and then rebooting and then installing netflix and a reboot after that. Its not a deal breaker by any means just been puzzling from my first L rom install.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ramiss:
Hey all. Is anyone else having issues where GMail isn't being pushed to the phone? Ie new mail isn't showing up until I open the GMail app, and yes, I have Sync on.

It started with this rom and I've tried 2 different gapp packages, including one that did not have this issue with Wilson's ROM.

Anyone have thoughts?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] puritan007:
I did the dreaded dirty flash, over 5.0.2 no less, I did wilson 5.1 then this right over top, then used those gapps I linked (I love those) and is working excellent you have a donation coming Friday nice work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rogersb11:
Should work if you use my kernel, working on t0lte
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] glockman4519:
I haven't used Gmail since I tried Google Inbox. I don't even install Gmail anymore. But Inbox still pulls from Gmail and I an not experiencing any lag in getting any of my emails. Maybe you can try that app or try different gapps.

"Chance Favors the Prepared"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] toskabab:
No issues here either. Using normal gmail. It might be your gapps. Try uninstalling gmail and downloading from the playstore to see if that makes a difference.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ramiss:
Yup, third times the charm. Aroma GApps finally made it work as expected.

Now if only I could figure out why LTE suddenly drops out and takes forever to come back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 2pezboy:
Everything is working great so far for me except Bluetooth. On the last build, when it would connect to Ford Sync in my truck, it would cause an immediate reboot. As soon as it would reconnect after rebooting, it would reboot again. Only way to stop the cycle was to shut off Bluetooth before it had a chance to connect.

On this build, when it connects to Sync, I get an error: "Bluetooth Share has stopped". Once that error pops up, Bluetooth shuts off and I can't turn it back on without rebooting.

Anyone else having Bluetooth issues?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mtrain:
So far I am loving this ROM, but I am having an issue where it is losing cellular data from time to time. I live in Seattle and have never had a problem before with cellular data cutting out. I am also running the latest Shift kernel. After going through various forums, it seems like it is a common problem with lollipop ROM's for this phone. Just curious if anyone has any ideas on solutions for this problem.

Thanks,

Micah
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] momule:
I just wiped everything and flashed the 4/20 build and your kernel and the aroma gapps. And still no luck with Netflix. I have yet to get a working build of lollipop with Netflix.

As I said not a deal breaker. Just mind boggling at this point.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rogersb11:
I'll look into it. The device fix should be in common BUT I don't remember to be honest and never use Netflix so I will check tonight and if it's not in common and I only have in t0lte for example then I will add it to 605 but I think it's in common but I'll check to be sure. What is that I myself don't use netflix literally ever I've just had reported that it works
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
The init.d script for netflix is in smdk4412-common so netflix should work. I have noticed that it has not worked 100% of the time though. Sometimes I have to close and relaunch a couple of times then movies play. Other times I have to reboot and start app a few times. Blame samsung for the netflix issue. They make sure it works on their bloated crap but devs have to do specific hacks to fix it for aosp.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rickkane:
Having soft reboots. It keeps looping between note II screen and the cyanide boot animation. It will sometimes get to where it says android is upgrading, gets through all the apps and then reboots again. Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlmancuso:
First make sure you used the correct gapps and also that you did a clean flash. You should also use the shift 5.2 kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ramiss:
Me too. It mostly happens after a reboot that my Cell Service is out (exclamation in the icon). I then have to toggle Airplane Mode to get it to come back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jsingle3:
Anyone have an issue with calls not hanging up? When I hit the button to hang up a call, the phone says hanging up but it never hangs up. I reflashed but still have the same issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jaws4God:
Yeah the ROM is fairly good.. but i had some FC's ..

On a side note, VIPER 10 is AMAZING for the HTC 10.. thats what I was rocking right before I sold it.. :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ufkal:
I'm still rocking Viper 10 on my HTC 10. I have nary a complaint about that rom. I'm just more of a CM/AOSP kinda user. I may have to throw my sim over in my old NOTE II and run with that for a few days. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ikmh7:
I have unlocked note 2 with Android 4.3. Can I flash this Rom ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jaws4God:
Unlocked bootloader or mobile Carrier?

if you have a Custom recovery, You Can flash Most Roms
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Schneider1492:
Can anyone confirm latest build has working external storage and Bluetooth
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jaws4God:
anyone know if this ROM is still being developed? or any chance on an M or N version? ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] NWNJ:
External storage works but it has some serious quirks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] glockman4519:
Hey all, it's been a long time since I was here. Haven't used my Note 2 in a while I thought I would mess around with it and knock some of the dust off. My question is, since I haven't really kept up on this device, if I am on Verizon is there still an issue coming from TouchWiz and going an AOSP or CM rom and not getting data? I remember that there was a work around for this about a year ago but I wasn't sure if there was a fix for it.

Thank you in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jaws4God:
each AOSP that i ran before i locked my bootloader, didn't have any issues with data... or the times i did it was because I just needed to change my APN setting.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] glockman4519:
I tried putting in apn and it never worked for me but thank you for the response. If I remember correctly it was only a Verizon thing and it was also a regional issue, meaning the Area where I lived (central Pa.) Was only effected. There were areas in the Virginia and DC area too.

I'll just flash and see..lol.. That's part of the fun.. Thanks again for your reply
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jaws4God:
oh ok got ya.. well keep us updated on how it goes?! :D

Upgrade from Alliance build 4.4.2

Is there anything specific to know before I try to upgrade?

Will this work with Philz to install?

Sorry for the questions but been out of the loop for years now to do this

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jaws4God:
does this work with SafeStrap? thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rolfsted:
What gapps are used with the latest build? I got my note 2 out of the drawer and loaded the latest build, but some Google apps just kept boot looping. I could barely get it turned off...I had to pull the battery. I got the developer edition loaded with aroma lp gapps and it's good. I guess I'll use the 2 as my music player. Wish the 5 could be rooted....the ads drive me nuts.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rolfsted:
I can't get past boot screen on latest build. I'm missing something.

Edit: never mind...I got it! Wish I had never bought a Note 5 now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ewwestsr:
I cant get past "error cant verify checksum" when trying to flash this or any other rom. Device is rooted.

Any help would be appreciated.

Is it just me or did something happen to the cLock app with the new update? I can't set alarms anymore. When i open the clock, instead of the actual clock it just gives me a bogus menu.

quick settings

Has anyone else found that their quick settings has disappeared? I just flashed this yesterday and had some random reboots and now I don't have a lock screen or quick settings. I tap where I had it before and they do not appear. I re-dirty flashed the ROM and shift kernel but to no avail. Any thoughts? I might just end up wiping and starting clean but I'd like to avoid that if possible.

Adding a picture of what I'm seeing, it also appears that although notifications are coming in, they aren't showing up when I pulldown.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jsingle3:
I had the same thing happen to me yesterday after a dirty flash (although I did have a lock screen). I had to do a clean install to fix the quick settings and notifications issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jsingle3:
Performed another clean install and still have the same issue. Other than the inability to hang up a call or send/receive MMS, everything else seems to be working great.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] glockman4519:
I have had some random System UI force closes but no reboots. I have my log running now so of it happens again I should be able to get a log of it and will post it. But other than what I just described I have had no other issues. MMS and data are working along with Wi-Fi and normal Bluetooth (file transfer and Bluetooth call speaker for car) are working.

ROM didn't sit nice with phone

After issues with the notifications/quick settings disappearing, I flashed clean again yesterday afternoon but my phone bricked itself last night while on the charger and is stuck at the Galaxy Note II screen, booting into recovery gives me what seems to be Philz but the screen will not illuminate / show what is in Philz. I am still bootloader unlocked and running MJ9 firmware. Can anyone provide the steps to return to stock-ish but so that I can keep my bootloader unlocked?

Maybe someone can correct me but I think the process should be:

Odin back to 4.1.1, re-unlock, philz etc

Re-flash MJ9 firmware (and only the firmware) in Odin

Flash a rom of my choosing

Thanks,

Chris
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ganggreen777:
Is texting working
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jusliloleme:
Yup.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] glockman4519:
Once on MJ9, I don't think you can Odin back to 4.1.1. I could be wrong, lol...

"Chance Favors the Prepared"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ozo012:
Yeah 4.1.2 would be where I could have gone (I'm bootloader unlocked). Unfortunately I think my EMMC was corrupted so I'm probably done with my Note II unfortunately.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] glockman4519:
That sucks. Sorry to hear that. So you can't get your phone into fast boot or download mode and push anything through Odin? I have screwed my phone up pretty bad but Was still able to push what I needed through Odin to get me up and running again.

Well good luck and we are all hoping that you can get your Note 2 back up and running again.

"Chance Favors the Prepared"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ozo012:
I'm able to get into download mode but...

In download mode on the phone I see Product Name: (Blank/Empty)

Product name:

Custom Binary Download: NO

Current Binary: Samsung Official

System Status: Custom

I can't get any of the PCs that were previously reading the phone to see it in Odin now. Googling empty product name in Odin yielded scary results. Maybe someone else knows a solution? I'm assuming that if I can't get a PC to read it in Odin I'm SOL.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jaydizz:
ROM is rock solid. Haven't had a single random reboot. Having a small random issue with sluggishness though. For some reason the CPU will use one core instead all 4. This usually occurs when phone has been in standby for a little while. Once this occurs, only a reboot seems to fix the issue. I have tried several different governors and kernel settings and it keeps occurring, sometimes within 5 minutes of a reboot, and sometimes takes a day or 2.

I've never seen that before, that's really unfortunate. MAYBE your phone port isn't fully functional?! Just a longshot guess. I've pulled my phone from death more times than I care to mention lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rogersb11:
You using shift? Can you pull a log of the event? I use same version of kernel and haven't seen this thus far
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jaydizz:
Yeah, using shift kernal. Did a full wipe of internal storage when I installed r3, dirty flashed r5. I'll pull a log the next time it occurs. Thanks.

Cool thanks. ROM update will be available within an hour. By far best build so far in my honest opinion. I'm not overly pleased with releases all the time, but mostly I am. However with this build I'm extremely pleased with. Tons of fixes and several old KK features I brought up

Edit: New build is here guys https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952592230

Changelog can be found here. Some old goodies brought back, some good fixes, usually good updates along with a really nice and famous initial bring back as well. Changelog is here https://plus.google.com/+BrettRogersDipDro420/posts/a2zhs4CrqTJ

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rolfsted:
Glockman...I have been following your ROM flashing. I just updated my note to mj9 firmware, shift kernel and plain CM 12.1 from CM's website. I love the speed of 12.1 but I feel there is something better. Which ROM do you think I might settle on? I really don't have the time or knowledge to flash all you have. I just need to keep this "old" note 2 fun since I have Verizon unlimited data. If I upgrade I will lose that and the ability to root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] amoot329:
With this update, do you recommend a clean flash or a dirty flash? I currently have the r5 version. I don't mind doing the clean flash but rather not if no need.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] glockman4519:
I sent you a PM. I can't answer that in a short response and don't want to clutter up this thread. I also PMed you a link to a video I made showing the features of this rom.

By the way, love the new features you put in this rom. Cyanide blackout is really cool for people like me who like that blacked out UI.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jsingle3:
To date, I have performed clean installs of each version of this ROM. Yet, on each version, I am still unable to hang up calls and, as I recently discovered yesterday, am also unable to receive calls (calls ring on the caller's side, but eventually go to voicemail, without ever ringing on my phone). I am on MJ9 and was on Wilson's 5.0 Lollipop ROM prior to this without any calling issues. [EDIT: Also, I am using Shift Kernel]

The battery life on this ROM is amazing, and I would really love to make it work. Does anyone have any ideas as to why on this ROM I am unable to hang up and/or receive calls? It doesn't seem like it is a bug, as it appears I am the only one having the issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] morovain:
Have any of you had any problems with the camera? I keep getting an error that says that the Camera app (stock with the rom) can't connect to the camera. Does anyone have any ideas? Im running the Shift Kernal as well.

Just flashed this and so far so good. Got a bit worried at boot up. Took awhile....but I figure a feature packed ROM takes time. I did notice that the kernel is not the shift kernel I flashed a few days back. I'll check other posts to see if I should reflash it. So far love the speed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ztotherad:
osnt the stock kernel pure cm12.1 kernel? or did rogersb11 add his shift kernel? time to check the changelog
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jsingle3:
Disregard my prior post. I tried installing other 5.1 ROMs and I have the same issues with calls on each of them. I guess it is a CM issue that may be a bit of an anomaly (possible because I'm using straight talk APN settings).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rolfsted:
No camera here. Tried several others also no go. I'm running mj9 firmware. Had to Odin it the other day.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] glockman4519:
What gapps did you use? I used the aroma 5.1 gapps and no issues. Some gapps remove stock counterpart to replace with it's own app. If something went wrong in gapps install and the gapps replaces the stock camera, then you would be left with none and maybe even some force close issues.

Just a thought.
