Release, probably before the weekend.

Maybe some may ask why not use the latest releases?

Well because this version supports more languages and is region free. (XX)

Not like the Korean rom or USA release as they are region limited.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] rpoitras:
Hi civato, will you make the new kernel available as a separate download like 1.2 and I think 1.1? I ask because I didn't see 1.3 available in the kernel download folder with the others and I was jumping back and forth trying to figure out the VPN issue I posted about previously. Also, I know you don't want requests but any chance VPN is working in 1.4? Currently I'm stuck between a choice of working VPN or working keyboard but not both. Sorry for asking but it's a consequence of you building a stable ROM people actually want to use every day. :good:
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] hendav:
Thanks Civato for all your effort, you are single handedly making this device a beast!
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] civato:
Rev1.3 and upcoming Rev1.4 isn't public released in kernel thread for now.

I could upload it for you and and share the link.

I have no problems with vpn, but maybe you should give me some more info.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] rpoitras:
I use L2TP over IPSec VPN connecting to my ZyXEL appliance and with the stock kernel (your compiled version) I can connect successfully. With the custom kernel, v1.2 and 1.3, using the same connection settings I can no longer connect. Looking at the logs of the appliance the handshake and passphrase for phase 1 of the VPN connection works successfully but from that point on the connection times out. With L2TP/IPSec I need to provide the tunnel passphrase as well as login credentials for an account (username/password) and the issue occurs after the tunnel passphrase is accepted but before the login credentials are sent. I, of course, have checked credentials, etc. and they are correct and just swapping the stock kernel allows me to connect successfully with the same settings.

Edited to add: I have a Galaxy S4 running Lollipop and using the same parameters have VPN working successfully.

I appreciate the help.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] civato:
Will take a look at some kernel compiling settings when I got the time.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] rpoitras:
Much appreciated.

Take a look into the kernel section

Compiled a new kernel with L2TP support activated, I hope this helps you.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] rpoitras:
Holy hell that was fast. Thanks, civato! I will try as soon as I get home.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] rpoitras:
So I loaded up 1.5 without updating the ROM, just to quickly check, cleared dalvik and cache and still have the same issue. VPN log shows the same as before as well. Ugh. I really appreciate the attempt, though, and realize its a pretty specific issue so no need to go crazy. I, myself, have searched up and down to try to get an indication as to what it could be, be it a setting or missing module and have found that there is so little info available that it makes it near impossible to debug.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] SpEaKeRb0xXx:
Hey! Thank you for another awesome rom Civiato. Im excited to try this since ive been using your kikat version for a very lobg tme. I did try to follow your step but im having a bit of a problem here. What i did is, install the lolipop boot loader using odin, full wipe my device after back up (cache system and data) and install the rom. Then i encounter prblem which starts with "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" error message while booting up and the second one is i cannot pass the samsung lolipop flash screen. I can boot twrp and it seems the problem is with my cache and data which is i cannot mount. I did try to reinstall the rom again without any wipe and still cannot get pass the samsung flash sceen. Any inputs will be much appreciated and good thing is i got my whole day today to get this beast up and running again. Tia
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] rpoitras:
I think the Google apps are missing in version 1.8 of the ROM. I tried flashing a few times and during setup keep getting Google Play Services errors so I reverted back to 1.7. Is it just me? I wanted to start with a fully clean slate and ended up inadvertently wiping my entire tablet so a clean slate is definitely how I started. (oops)
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] ExtremeRyno:
Sounds like you're coming from CM12? I had to wipe EVERYTHING & do a Factory Reset wipe before I could go from a CM ROM back to this, even when I was restoring a backup. I always get a problem with the cache being dismounted, but after fiddling around for a bit I always get it working. I believe it has to do with the partitions.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] ReyStunner:
[MENTION=3986004]civato[/MENTION] Just wanna say how much I appreciate your continued work and development for this tablet. Seems like youre the only active one on the Samsung end and it should be noted.

Although I still have issues that im pinpointing to some malfunction on my end that prevents me from using it as a daily driver, Im jealous of all the people who dont have my problem. It really is a kick ass Rom. Fast and snappy. major props
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] SpEaKeRb0xXx:
Thanks for the response! i'm coming from KK version of Civ's ROM. I somehow manage to mount the Data after few attempts of full wipe. Now i'm havng error message that my device is not rooted. Will flash the ROM again and Let's see where it gets me.

Manage to boot up the device now and yeah the gapps is not included. Did Tyr to install the latest twrp and full wipe at leaSt 4x, manage to mount partition and the ron successfully boot up
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] pradeepd:
Can't get pass the initial setup screen. Wanted a clean start and wiped everything. Error is Google play services stopped as well as gapps. Trying 3rd time now

---------- Post added at 07:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:45 AM ----------

Ok.here is what I did to get past the setup error. When prompt to connect to Wi-Fi. Skip the step. And skip all other Samsung account setup. Open up Samsung browser and Then search for gapps 5.0x from Android.

Download the minimal edition, reboot into recovery, install it and that's it. All up and running. Now you can connect to Wi-Fi, setup the Google account. Hope it helps.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] SpEaKeRb0xXx:
Got it. Did try to use 2 Stock gapps and didnt work hope the slim version will do.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] rpoitras:
Well said, and I agree. We're lucky to have someone who puts in the time to do this. :good:
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] rpoitras:
Ok so I dirty flashed v1.8 over v1.7 and no longer had any issues with Google Play Services upon startup. Everything seems to be running very smoothly as well.

Civato, just an FYI I'm on 1.8 running the 1.5 kernel and tried VPN again but was unsuccessful. Besides that this ROM is solid and I'm loving it. Thank you again for your builds. Your work is very much appreciated!

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] rpoitras:
You kick ass, civato. I loaded the kernel up and was able to connect to VPN successfully, first shot. Great work! I really appreciate the help. Verified Logitech keyboard is still working as well. Thanks again!
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] milan188:
Is it possible to change the minimum size of the pen window. The size restrictions is too large takes up 60% of the screen.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] Kcake:
How do I move the centered status bar clock back to the original position?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] rpoitras:
I've been using Rev1.9 of the ROM with v1.7 of the kernel for days now and it's been absolutely flawless. Especially over this past weekend I used it so much I needed to charge every day. This ROM is rock solid. Great work, civato. Thank you for keeping our tablets up to date!
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] ReyStunner:
I THINK ive isolated the problem.

I had force installed Whatsapp on the tablet and always restored the data via Tibu inbetween rom flashes. Well now I know theres a reason you cant install the app via playstore and its not supposed to be for tablets lol

I literally went through all my apps I typically restore and have been testing this rom for a week now and when I restore my whatsapp backup, the wifi problem happens. There is still other apps im still testing out to see what happens if I restore them but just wanted to let people who have similar problems know it MIGHT be due to tibu restores.

Im so glad I figured this out, rom is pretty sick.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] singhsta:
This is just driving me crazyyyyyyy. I've been trying to install this rom since last month but I keep meeting the black screen. I give up then try again in a week or so or when a new update is available in the hopes that it will work this time. GAAAAH. I was on hyperdrive and tried updating flashing lollipop bootloader via odin. Updated to cm12.1 and that worked fine. So since i was on lollipop tried updating again...NO LUCK. O well. Now I've read people posting that just download lollipop boot loader from sammobile but I am a little scared of downloading the wrong thing and then messing up my tab. So guide me people.....lol. I usually don't post and just live in the shadows. But would like some advice.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] ReyStunner:
I think flashing the LP Bootloader is mandatory for this rom. Theres a link in the first or second post for the one needed. That might be your problem.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] singhsta:
Tried that multiple times...no luck.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] hendav:
Odin the stock rom from sammobile, then re-root and flash again.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] singhsta:
Finally.....mission frikin impossible. Like someone mentioned couple pages ago. Manually go into download mode and then it will stick. I noticed when I was going in download mode from power menu or from recovery it never showed Knox or anything in upper left hand corner. But the download screen was there. Once I manually booted into download mode it was there and I knew it will work. So people who are having black screen issue try this. I am sure this will fix it......at least it did for me.

The ROM itself is amazing man. Fast, no bugs. Lollipop. What else could a guy ask for. Thanks to the dev.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] civato:
Not possible as I hard coded it into the systemUI. I like the center clock. This rom is as it is., sorry.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] brusyev:
There seems to be a problem with apps to sd option in this release. When I restart my tablet all of the apps I moved to sd are not available. Another restart or two seems to clear this problem. I did not see this issue with 1.8 and below.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] civato:
Not a problem, as you say it yourself, a reboot solves this problem, give the rom some time to settle.

Update is coming regarding stagefright fixes.

Rev2.0 is based on P900XXU0BOH4 & P900UEU1COI1.

The P900XXU0BOH4 hasn't got toolbox menu and P900UEU1COI1 has got limited language support so I used the settings from P900UEU1COI1 for the toolbox and added the extra languages.

The rom itself is 99% P900XXU0BOH4 based as it is a region free version. The changelist for the P900XXU0BOH4 is also bigger.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] singhsta:
Awesome...can't wait for 2.0
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] sonicshaman:
I'm getting an odd message on Samsung boot screen. Something to the effect of seandroid kernel not enforcing? Things seem to work ok.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] njay22:
anyone else having problems with Windows 10 recognising the tablet in Download mode? I re-installed drivers from Samsung and even tried VMWare XP image - but no luck. Any help much appreciated.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] ReyStunner:
Is there any way to add base COH2 or the new one COI1 for those who choose stock kernel in Aroma so they have bluetooth keyboard support? or will what you are planning already provide this?

I ask because in the current build, clicking stock kernel breaks bluetooth keyboard functionality which I assume is due to the BOH4 kernel
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] brusyev:
Civato thank you for all the work you are doing on this Rom. I am hopping to see the option to return the clock to the proper location (right corner) in future builds.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] Heafust:
+1. Xposed can be used to move it to center normally. Or hidden as I prefer. But with it hard coded this way, Xposed won't do it's magic anymore. (Sorry Civ, I tried not to comment on this But couldn't help myself)
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] sonicshaman:
Sorry, I asked here because it didn't appear on the last ROM I was using, just when I flashed this one, maybe because it was based on the original? I will check with this Google bloke you speak of next time-cheers
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] sonkey:
Can someone please let me know if you have the samsung apps package (Calendar and all samsung bloat apps) please. I sold a tablet and the person needs these and they dont seemed to be installed on his device. I have this ROM installed on it.

Or if you know what apks I need to pull from the rom to install, that would help

Thanks, Sonkey
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] Stevethegreat:
It sounds like a silly question, but how to flash the Bootloader?

I have (hard) bricked way too many devices in the distant past by checking the "bootloader" or "BL" option on ODIN so I would like to be sure before doing so.

So should I flash the bootloader file (whilst in download mode) by ticking the BL (bootloader) or by ticking AP (PDA)?

That's very important because flashing the wrong bootloader kills devices!
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] desantim:
I will second this - I just bought one of these second hand, it gets delivered today, what Odin option do I select to flash the bootloader for Lollipop? Would rather ask and risk being called a fool, than not ask and be proven one by bricking my device. I've searched around, and nothing obvious jumped out, there are many different answers....

Mario
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] singhsta:
Before you do anything go into recovery make a nandroid back up. (I just forgot to do it myself...o well)

Then, power down your tablet. Go into download mode MANUALLY by pressing power volume down and home button and the releasing the power button. It will ask you if you want to go into download mode...press volume up. Do that. In download mode you should see odin mode in red in upper left hand corner along with knox and custom os and what not.

On the PC..right click and run as administrator. Check AP and browse to the NEW bootloader. Press Start and PROFIT.

Then it will reboot. Let it or just go into recovery mode. Press power, volume up and home..once it powers up and p900 flickers a little let go of the power button. It will boot into recovery. Wipe and then install CIVZZZZZ.

Atleast thats how I do it, and it works for me.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] desantim:
So I should throw on TWRP before I do the bootloader then?.... That makes sense! Very helpful, thank you for the AP part.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] singhsta:
Yes. Install latest twrp before u do any of this. NP. Glad I could help.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] Stevethegreat:
I tried it , it hangs on boot. Then I flashed using the BL (bootloader) option and the hang was lifted. However I'm now afraid to shut down the device due to the fear that it will never boot again (if the bootloader is the wrong one, it won't register the power on button leading to a hard brick and a damaged device).
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] singhsta:
The reason it wasn't booting up was because your bootloader didn't "take" first time for some reason...happens occasionally. Atleast that was the case with me when i switched to this ROM. Try going couple pages back and you will see my rant about black screen.

I think you will be ok if you restart it.

Just to be clear...U went into download mode Manually..right? U saw all the ODIN mode and Knox in left corner when u flashed bootloader. If you did...u should be fine.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] Stevethegreat:
To tell the truth I don't remember. What will happen if I went into download mode from "adb reboot download" or from the reboot menu?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] singhsta:
Well, the only reason I said to go in download mode manually is because when i was going into download mode from power menu or through recovery....It shower the green android on the screen and said downloading mode under it and don't turn off the target and so on but it didn't have the Odin mode or custom os, knox or anything in the upper left hand corner. And my bootloader didn't "take" until I flashed it on the manual download screen where it had those things in upper left hand corner. So I believe the TRUE download mode is the one with infoin upper left hand corner and I could only get to it via manual mode.

I never tried the abd...so can't comment on that.

Thats about it.

I remember seeing a cab that fixes the battery drain problem for WM6. Ive been searching and searching but couldn't find it. The search tool on the forum is useless at finding what i want. can anyone link me to that cab? I just want to try it on my T-mobile Wing cause the battery drains like crazy.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ADB100:
I think the only fix that was posted was the SD card power managment disable thing - the .CAB was called 'sd-battery-save.cab' and contained the registry settings:

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Class\SDMemory_Class]
"DisablePowerManagement" = dword : 00000000

I could be (and usually am) wrong.....

HTH

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] lsnizzle:
thanks for the quick reply. really helpful. im going to try it to see how it goes. thanks again.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mdajunkie:
another thing is some apps that you might have may cause your battery to drain also. I.e. batterystatus, push mail, some weather apps. pretty much anything that keeps you wizard busy by connectin to gprs or updating constanly things like that. so play with your apps do a little test. I actually have that power saving cab. ill upload for you when I get home, but in the mean time try some of those things I meantioned.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] icezar:
from my experience:

1. 318 OS ver is the best for power

2. push mail (exchange or live) and constant weather update using gprs will very fast drain battery. For example: i just use exch mail with push my battery will last 1-2 days if i change from push to check every 5 min i get o extra day...

3. batterystatus: using it i get around 10-15% faster drain but a lot of improvement in speed :D

there are 2 cabs out there one is something like HTC power management and another is the above SD battery fix.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mikaarce:
here's the 2 fixes, SD batt. save improved the rom NBD 7.4 im using, enjoy

I am running wm6.1 ajc2003s build....5.2.19521. The battery life is stupendous!! I have my device steady overclocked at 286 running a bluetooth WMP stream for a good 3hrs in the morning w/ calls. My gprs is always connected. I run spb mobile shell, pocketCm, opera mini, ms voice command 1.6 w/ bluetooth support, my battery has been about 65-70 % remaining after being off the charger for a good 9 hrs with good use on it. Ask me about a batt fix.....this ROM is the ultimate batt fix!! Oh yeah i forgot to mention this ish is FAST.....windows directory in explorer, fully loaded and skinned....FAST!! :D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] S.V.I:
Look up " HTC Power Management cab" it usualy sets up everything to save power.

However I agree about AJC rom. I'm using it right now. the battery does not go down to 50% since I installed it. I was on an 8hr bus ride from NY to PGH and used GPRS most of the time only then it went down to 51% with very heavy usage.:p
