A upgrade from my last version will work.

A switch from the official cm11 nightly should also work without a factory reset (but I have not tested it)

If you are coming from a non cm based rom you should do a factory reset
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] fcaminab:
The one I have is the v1, as does the upgrade?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] abzjji:
Thanks for keeping this Rom up to date Bauner. Do i have to install Gapps as well if i upgrade from previous version or is the rom all i need?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
To update you need to flash the current rom + gapps (the same version as you used before) in the recovery and wipe the dalvik cache.

Maybe it will work also without reflashing the gapps too but some gapps have an incomplete backup script which can cause that some gapps are missing after the update if you are not reflash it
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] fcaminab:
Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] forest1971:
Camera is not working for me in newer version. Dirty flash drom v1.

Anyone similar prob?

Tks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
For me it is working.

Do you use ext4 for your sdcards? Because with ext4 it is possible that you need to do a reboot after the update to set the correct permissions for the sdcards
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] forest1971:
Thanks Bauner. I had to clean install and it works fine now. Great work!

Btw, I am using default format for sdcard, not ext4.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] fcaminab:
V2 installed apparently running well all except the wifi. Every time I reboot I have to re-set the password.

Vfat formatted internal memory and SD. Installed as you pointed by dalwik wipe cache.

Thanks and regards

[MENTION=799465]bauner[/MENTION], thanks for this great rom, running as my daily driver. Just 1 thing, how to get a transparent status bar on this rom?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ankydu:
Dear Bauner, I tried this but still after every single reboot or sometimes after 3-4 reboots, my note forgets the wifi passwords, please help?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
For me it is transparent as default
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ankydu:
For me its like this. I have installed a Samsung cm11 theme.

Edit:. I was using Nova launcher and that is why it was not transparent. But that is a minor issue compared to the wifi issue. Please look into the wifi issue.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
I have rebooted many times on testing this rom and I never need to enter the wifi password again.

Have you installed any wifi management or firewall app which could cause your problems?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ankydu:
No I haven't installed any wifi management or firewall software. For me randomly after 3 to 4 reboots it just resets the wifi settings. Even I have chosen the wifi region in wifi settings that too gets cleared including all other settings in wifi and wifi advanced settings. Dunno wots wrong?

Edit 2: Also occasionally under my wifi network names it shows the status as disabled instead of available or saved.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] willyghost:
Hi Bauner.

Thanks for the great ROM ! Everything is great except I am also having the same WiFi issue. Every time I restart the phone I loose WiFi password and have to input password again. Did a clean install yesterday same problem. Nothing special installed except Facebook and a few games and apps. Any suggestions on what it could be ?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
I have rebooted more than 10 times without this problem.

Did you change anything in the wifi region settings?

Can you try if setting the wifi frequency to 2,4ghz only will help?

If this will not help can you try if the 20150909 kernel will make a difference?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ankydu:
I set the wifi region to India and have also tried 2.4ghz band only with same problem. For previous kernel, i just flash the kernel zip in recovery?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
Yes you only need to flash the old kernel only zip in the recovery.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ankydu:
Thanks bauner, the previous kernel Seems to have fixed my wifi issues. Will test further and report if anymore issues arise.

Btw on my testing with the latest kernel the phone forgets wifi password on power off and power on every time and 1 every 4-5 reboots.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] willyghost:
Hi Bauner,

I flashed kernel 20150909 and wifi problem is gone. Now i can reset and the wifi password is still saved so im good now. I have to say thought that the kernel version i had installed before was the one indicated in the instructions number 5 which is CM12_Beta3. Is that the one we are supposed to flash with the kitkat rom ?

If you have already an samsung 4.1.x running you can skip step 1

1.flash N7000ZSLR1_N7000OZSLR1_BRI (or any other other 4.1.2) stock rom using odin

2.Copy Rom + Google Apps to your sdcard.

3.flash PhilZ-cwm6-XXLT6-XSA-5.06.1.tar.md5 (http://d-h.st/OTu) to get cwm recovery by using odin or mobile odin (To download click the blue Download now button)

4. boot into recovery

5. flash this kernel https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95887005526788121 to get an updated cwm recovery

(this step will make your old rom unbootable stuck in the n7000 screen but you can boot into recovery with press and hold "home" and "volume+" buttons and power on your phone)

6. you need to reboot! your device now to recovery

7. you are now in the updated recovery and you can now install the rom and gapps and do a factory reset

8. Reboot
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
The install instructions are the same as for my cm12.x rom. I have just copied it.

In step 5 it does not matter which kernel you are flashing. This step is needed to update the recovery to a current version which can install the rom without errors.

In step7 it will get replaced with the version inside the rom zip file
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] hewhomustnotbenamed:
4.4.4 vs 5.1.1

Could you please let me know which one of the two is better for our old n7000 (only 1gb ram), 4.4.4 or 5.1.1?

by your exoeruence, which one holds the edge..thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] abzjji:
I also have the wifi password problem. Gonna try old kernel tomorrow. Hopefully this will fix it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
The stability and the performance is nearly the same.

Some (but not all) have reported problems with bluetooth headsets in 5.1.1
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] willyghost:
Just to update. My WiFi is still good after flashing the old kernel. So there is something wrong with the more recent kernel as many people are reporting the same problem. Any one else having this problem just flash the 20150909 kernel like Bauner instructed and you should be good. Thank you Bauner for all the hard work the rom is great and hopefully when you have some time you can post an updated kernel with the WiFi bug fixed.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] g00ey:
I've been using this ROM for a while and it has an irritating bug that frequently screws up the ability to turn on or off the screen. Sometimes the screen is constantly on while being unresponsive to touch input. Other times the screen is constantly black and the only things that respond are the keys at the bottom and the power button. They light up but the screen stays black. The screen of course comes back when rebooting the phone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
There are no known problems with turning the screen on and off.

Did you change anything in the system settings(governor, io scheduler...)?

This can also come if an app will hang and consumes a lot cpu
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] g00ey:
I'm not running any particular app exfept for PowerAmp and I haven't made any particular change in system settings. I don't even know where to change governor or 'io scheduler' settings. The screen commonly gets unresponsive like this about 5 minutes after boot. Sometimes it gets responsive and then it freezes once again, I barely managed to get the latest update to install between these freeze-ups.

I just booted up the phone now, turning the screen off with the power button works right now but turning it back on takes 10 seconds after pushing the power button. It is a lot better than usual and it will not take long before it will turn unresponsive again.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
So you had it also with the older version?

Which rom did you use before and did you had problems with it?

Did you do a factory reset while installing this rom?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] g00ey:
I've been using the Nightowl builds since February this year and I'm most likely to have conducted a factory reset on the device. I have updated the ROM once a month since February.

For as long as I can remember, the interface has been dodgy with frequent crashes of the main interface (don't remember the name of the process now, but the wallpaper always goes black after the crash and the lock screen reappears). Usually it was the home button that caused the crash consistently. Now this problem has gone away.

This screen lockup issue has been going on for the past two or three months I guess. I thought it had to do with Xposed and Xprivacy, but now after the update, Xprivacy is now disabled and the same problems remain.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
"I've been using the Nightowl builds since February this year"

Of which NightOwl version you are writing? Cm12.x or cm11? Because this is the thread for the cm11 version which exists since 2015090.

But I don't know about such problems on both versions.

Have you also tried if a complete clean install (in the recovery "clean to install a new rom" and then flash rom + gapps) will help?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] g00ey:
I tried CM12 but it was waay to buggy for me to consider it usable. So I have stuck with CM11 all the time. I did a full system wipe and cache wipe, and things looked good until I started fiddling with PowerAmp. Then things started to freeze up like crazy. Btw, the process that crashes all the time is named 'Trebuchet'.

If you want to try reproducing the bug I recommend you to try putting the large (full screen) Poweramp widget on the desktop screen.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
Trebuchet is th laucher.

It is possible that the problem comes from the limited ram in our device.

Will everything work as it should if you remove the poweramp widget or if you uninstall it?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] j4m:
Rarely, i was facing a problem when turning the display off and immediately on. It stayed black. Had to wait a few seconds before display turned on again. I flashed 20151004 version over prior version. It wasn't a clean install. Can't say if buttons light up because i deactivated buttons light. Can't reproduce the bug either. Once i also had to restart because it remained black.

I thought this problem would dissolve if i do a clean install. If i remember correctly, this strange behaviour did not appear in the first version of CM11. Maybe it is caused by mapping torch to long pressed home button in lockscreen.

Currently i'm testing CM12.1 which performs very well since the last time i tested it two months ago. I'm impressed by your improvements and your work, Bauner! It became faster and battery is improved apparently.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] g00ey:
I have to test further before I can make any statements whether the issues are fixed or not. The freezes after a factory reset occurred when trying to add the PowerAMP widget to the desktop. This was right after the system wipe so the freezes might have been due to the app restore process where it was downloading and installing apps.

I have run PowerAmp wihthout widgets for a while and the phone doesn't have these screen lockup issues. I have now also added the fullscreen widget of PowerAmp, this time without issues. The PowerAmp widget is on the desktop and I have not yet had any lock screen issues. But I have to try this for a while before I can make any concluding statements.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] fcaminab:
There is somehow easy, passing applications to the micro sd. I have formatted the internal memeoria and micro sd as vfat.

Thank you

How to fix the hotspot problem guys.when i turn it on my other device cant detect my hotspot
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
It should work in the v2 version
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ankydu:
[MENTION=799465]bauner[/MENTION], i was using Gps navigation with Google maps and the app crashed after 10 mins. Subsequently it kept on crashing every 5 mins. Also during charging with the phone off the screen doesn't turn off completely only the battery icon disappears. These 2 bugs I found in the latest rom. Please look into them.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] g00ey:
I have now run the phone for a while and things worked well until the 17th of October (which is about 5 days) when things started to freeze again. So I did remove the PowerAmp widget and things started to work again, until today when it started to freeze again. All I did was sitting undecided what to do while flipping back and forth between two desktops. Then it started to freeze with Trebuchet crashing.

So while I can say that the PowerAmp widget does contribute to the freezing issues of Trebuchet or whatever is involved with the freezes, I cannot say that it is causing it.

Let's try with that later build of gapps that is mentioned above ...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] raZr87:
Good mornin.

Anybody else has the Problem that wifi doesnt Connect after reboot?

Have to reenter the password every single time.

Any way to solve this?

Best regards
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
Flashing the older 20150909 kernel should fix it
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ankydu:
I am having totally random crashes of apps. Sometimes it's Gmail, sometimes the systemui and sometimes any app without any reason.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] shahkbrmn:
Not working at all.still my other device cant detect my hotspot
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] raZr87:
THX... Gonna try it directly ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ruben__:
Just installed the rom succesfully. Thanks very much! I'll report back when everything is set up. Again thanks very much! :D

edit:

The wifi hotspot function works, wifi signal strength is reduced by one bar in comparison with Samsung's stock indication icon but it doesn't interfere with the capability at all. Wifi is reliable and stable (remembers pass) and all other radio's seem to be in their proper range. Call quality is fine and apps seem to run way smoother! I'm also not experiencing problems with controlling the screen and or with the use of poweramp full screen widgets.

The device is a: N7000XXLT3

Thanks very much Bauner!

---------

For the N00bs out there (like myself that haven't done this in a long time!) Before connecting to Odin (I used v3.09 with windows 10) set the device in download mode (volume down + power + home). Launch Odin, you'll get a verification that the device is added (if not, try another usb port). Then select the file at the 'AP' box and press start. Just read the install notes as describes and you should be good to go. I'm not quite sure if it is necessary but before installing the rom I wiped dalvik cashe, cashe, did a factory reset and then proceeded with the new rom. AND > 1. don't forget to safe all your stuff, 2. the battery is at least somewhat charged. :)

-------

edit 2:

So I've been running it a couple of hours and needed to charge it twice already! I lost 13% in about 20 minutes with normal use. The device's performance has been unstable. Sometimes fast, other times stuck. As I'm writing this I couldn't get the screen back on so I had to remove the battery and after the reboot the battery level has dropped from 81 to 65%!

As far as apps go, I installed just the basics, nothing fancy or really demanding of the phone's functionality. 3g is off, wifi is on, brightness is set to low and I'm currently running a wakelock detector.

And there's the other thing, the device is running quite hot sometimes. I'm not sure why and can't discover any ongoing process that might be responsible.

Do any of you know what is going on?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
This battery drain is very high.

Because of the high battery drop on the reboot maybe your battery is not the best anymore? Did you have screen flickering on low battery before?

For the performane maybe it needs some time to get better. Do you have many media files on your sdcard?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ruben__:
Thanks very much for the reply.

The battery is actually fairly new, 6 months and an original from Samsung. I bought a new one because my actual high end fell and became to an early end unfortunately. The flickering does happen whenever the brightness is set on high and it is reducing from 15% to less. Whenever the brightness isn't set on high it only happens when it reaches about 4%. As far as media goes, I have a couple of albums on there, nothing major though (400mb or so) but I do have quite a lot of photo's on the sd. Is it the indexing that might cause the heat?

I mentioned the wake lock earlier, there is nothing out of the ordinary and it did go to a deep sleep. It maintained it's level at that time pretty well but after a quick use it dropped again with 10% and for some strange reason it couldn't recognize apps that I had transferred to the sdcard.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
The indexing service can take some time if you have many photos on your sdcard this can be the reason for the temperature and slow reaction. But it should be done after a few hours.

Screen flickering on low battery is mostly caused from a bad battery. This can also be the reason for the battery drop on a reboot.

The problem is that many samsung batteries are fakes and the real original ones are very old.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ruben__:
Pff batteries are always an issue, lol. I'm going to do a fresh re-install with an empty sdcard and or try 5.1. Thanks very much for all your effort, I really appreciate it! :D

ROM fast and nice >> But .. With a big but...

- If you install some CM 11 theme :

1- Rom become completely unstable.

2- when you uninstall any theme .. Device reboot and system and setting ui always unfortunately stopped! and u cant use device until you install another one.

- without using any theme .. after a while .. play services always stop. and another problems start to come !!!

So .. i was forced to back to stock firmware.

Hey, [MENTION=799465]bauner[/MENTION],

ROM is very stable, I use it in favor besides LP because all things are rather stable (no flashlight problems, no camera problems, etc.). Is it possible, maybe, to add or use it as Bluetooth A2DP Sink functionality, without too much of hassle? I'd love to see it, as I'm going to use my N7000 as my travel phone (Bluetooth tethering works, Wi-Fi to check since haven't any miniSIM, but I guess it will work as well). If the A2DP sink would work, I'd use it as home audio system on docking station (which is detected properly) and SIP softphone, which may be good use for such home case not only for me, I guess.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
I don't have any bluetooth hardware to test it
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] kozlov:
If there's possibility to make a kind of generic configuration (without too much hassle for you, as I wrote before), I can try to test it - I have got some free time next few days, as well as notebook with BT and other mobile phone(s). Just need to know how to gather logs just in case.

It may be good feature to implement in future versions as well, since it's quite useful. Let me know if it's possible for you, I'll try to make some time free for some testing.

//edit: Is there a possibility that some alternative ROM (maybe yours) could handle MHL? I'm asking in frames of curiosity, because, AFAIK, it was difficult or impossible some time ago, so let's not take it so seriously when CM 12.1 suffers few more urgent bugs.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
I have also no mhl adapter so I also can't try it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Cybernerd:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
for android 5.1.1 you need a kernel for android 5.1.1.

You can try if my current cm12.1 or geeckodev's war kernel will work on the pa rom.

This rom is a stability optimized version of cm11

In between last 4 days, I've jumped from 12.1 > 13 beta 1.1 > Stock ROM > Now onto 11 just for the Bluetooth calling issue.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] avincric:
I'm currently using this ROM with the stock kernel, and everything is working fine. Performance is good.
