[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dicksteele:
I just got my phone last month and did the OJ5 update not realizing it was locked. I was on ATT Note 2 for years and years and never got to try a Dr Ketan's ROM. Pissed with the new locked bootloader.

So I'm ODIN flashing to full COJ5.

Will back up efs, param, pit and whatever else I can think of and give it a shot.

Obviously it seems to simple to work.

I did a compare yesterday on the pre-locked 5.1.1 bootloaders and the locked one.

I saw a few things in there that were different and I modified them in the locked one.

My edited one flashed so I was surprised. But I tried to downgrade and it didn't work..... So what I changed didn't make a difference. Yet ! :laugh:

ok good luck

i think this is the better option in the past i do it for 3 or 4 I9300 without any pbm hope it's same again ;)

After the pause it comes back with the COJ5.

Rebooting, running same command, COJ5.

Assuming this will create a tz.img.... I haven't seen anything referring to it for 5.1.1

Agree.

I'm really having no issues with 5.1.1.

I'm with you, it was more of a challenge to see if it could be done. CM 13 seems to be moving along so that may take the desire to flash back to lessen. Take care. I'll be around

Bootloader

This rom is meant to be used with kitkat bootloader. If you are unsure of what bootloader you are using, you should flash the following zip within recovery (official TWRP recommended):

V50020F Bootloader: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24352994023707804

* Some stock based roms flash bootloader files without the user being aware of it. So just to be safe, I recommend everybody to flash the above zip to make sure that you are using all the correct bootloader files.

The installation went perfectly on a clean installation.

Huge thanks!
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] ukguy115:
Same here installation is fine. Any way to make my sdcard work without a format?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Deltadroid:
yes, select portable storage.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] ukguy115:
Tried portable storage but said it was corrupt. Bit the bullet and formatted, had a backup so no biggie. ROM working great though.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] kbluhm:
Same here.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Deltadroid:
I had no problems and did not need a reformat using portable storage.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] fefifofum:
There are two ways you can use your sdcard in marshmallow, as external storage or as emulated internal storage. Only the second one should require to format the sdcard.

I'm not sure why this is happening to you. You could try deleting the .android_secure folder in your external sdcard from recovery. That could be the reason why it says your sdcard is corrupt.

[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] DSC05:
Portable storage works for me. I experienced some sd dismounts as on cm12.1. But in contrast to cm12.1 the external sd doesn't remount by itself. So I have to make reboot...

Otherwise everything seems work smooth and stable. Thanks for your hard work!
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] zebinadams:
So are you using the ROM in this thread? Or are you using cm12.1?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] DSC05:
CM 13 of this thread and I compared it to latest cm12.1 build of fefifofum
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] fefifofum:
That's caused by the adreno blobs from flo 6.0 used in this first release. Now I updated them from latest qcom release and the 3d test in antutu doesn't fail anymore. So tomorrow I will release a new build with that issue fixed.

I think that the first issue you mention is an upstream bug, we have to wait for it to get fixed.

That could be related to android_secure folder in external sdcard, but I need someone to erase it from recovery and confirm if that solves the issue. If that is the case, what I really need to fix is TWRP, which should erase android_secure folder when you do a factory reset.

Gamma should be exactly the same as in my builds of cm-12.1. About voice input, it's probably an upstream bug too.

Maybe the new storage approach used in marshmallow makes the sdcard not to remount automatically, no idea since I don't have unmounts. I'm sure someone else will confirm this in the following days. This post is interesting, you should read it, maybe the easiest workaround is to use a different sdcard. What brand, capacity, class... is the sdcard you are using?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] youngsta2010:
OK, this is getting strange. The disconnects are happening every ten minutes at 13:23, 13:33, 13:43 etc. Even after a reboot still at same time, very weird.

Also, try setting proper region in advanced Wi-Fi settings?

Still getting WiFi disconnects on the 29th version, there's no power saving settings on my router and I've set the region to Europe. The router is the same tho and same settings as when I was running 12.1 and I didn't get disconnects on that.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] davebuk:
I've been having random wifi drops as well. It seemed to start after using my Bluetooth headset. I've already set wifi to Europe. I've tried forcing 2.4 or 5 GHz and 2.4 seemed more reliable. I don't always have bluetooth on and have two wifi routers that both run 2.4/5 GHz connections with drops on both. Anything else that is worth trying?

[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Deltadroid:
[MENTION=4378574]youngsta2010[/MENTION]

A possible work around for Wi-Fi dropouts:

In your router settings, under Wi-Fi multimedia (WMM), look for Automatic Power Save Delivery (APSD) and try disabling it.

Edit:

The kernel should be using your location to set the proper Wi-Fi regional settings. It seems like your kernel is unable to determine your location to set the Wi-Fi properly.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] fefifofum:
I thought it was a hardware limitation and that it never worked. I also read that 1080p 60fps doesn't work in Nexus 7 (2013). Did you have it working in kitkat?

In what release did you start having this issue? Please, attach a full dmesg and logcat containing the wifi disconnects. Just in case, read post 2.

Do you have wifi disconnects after a reboot if you don't use the bluetooth? In what release did you start having this issue? Please, attach a full dmesg and logcat containing the wifi disconnects. Just in case, read post 2.

Yes, it's an issue with sensors blobs. I already fixed it by switching to Nexus 7 (2013) sensors blobs, so just wait for next release.

The use of ethernet adapter is not very common in data-less tablets. When moving from cm-12.1 to cm-13.0 I removed support for tethering (read this), but I could add it back in case it's needed. Did ethernet adapter worked for you in my builds of cm-12.1? Are you just asking, or you tried it in cm-13.0 and it's not working?

Yes, the first commit you linked contains the fix for exfat, so no more manual cherry-pick for next release. :)

Please, attach a full dmesg and logcat containing the wifi disconnects. Just in case, read post 2. Regarding 1080p 60fps, afaik it's not supported by our soc.

Tks for the reply.

About the wifi disconnects, I'm not a super expert, so I don't know how to to this log things, but also, it's not a major problem...

About the video issues, I have serious/annoying issues with 720p youtube stream/downloaded videos (audio/video freeze - don't think they are 60 fps as well), that I didn't have with other roms, so I don't think it's a hardware issue (the 1080p you commented). Please notice that I'm not complaining about your work and that I'm veeery grateful for it. =)

I dirty flashed CM13 20151203 over CM12.1 and used OP GAPPS and all seemed fine (from what I remember). OTA updated to 20151213 and am currently on 20151222.

After restart and leaving bluetooth off I had a disconnect. I have three log files, each 1MB but can't upload to the forum as they are too big.

Also tried what [MENTION=5227588]Deltadroid[/MENTION] said about WMM ADSP and that didn't help. Turned off ADSP on my ASUS router, but my second WiFi AP (BT Home hub 5 as AP only) doesn't have that option, which I've been connected to and have had drops. Both WiFi APs have the same 2.4/5GHz SSID but fixed different channels.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] Deltadroid:
Disabling ADSP on the router will only help if you are connecting to the router where it is disabled.

Since you are connecting to a secondary Wi-Fi AP, you would need to disable ADSP on that particular AP.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] davebuk:
Can't change that setting on second AP, so confirmed that while connected to ASUS router on 5GHz after disabling ADSP, I still got the drops. No issues with same hardware on fefifofum CM12.1.

Can you suggest how I can post these logs or shall I attach to [MENTION=4517918]fefifofum[/MENTION] email? Is Dropbox etc easier?

Thanks for the help so far.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] davebuk:
One thing that seems to be happing is when the tablet wakes from standby it's trying to connect to the last AP point. Using a wifi analyser app I can see that it's trying to connect to the MAC address of that wifi AP. Even when I've selected 5GHz only, while near the stronger signal of the second AP, it shows its trying to connect to the MAC address of the 2.4GHz/weaker but previous AP! It's goes through a loop of connect/disconnect. Turing wifi off then back on then connects to the stronger 5GHz AP MAC address. I'll see if simply turning wifi off/on helps. ?
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
I'll answer myself in case anyone else needs it:

format the microSD with f2fs (if available) or exfat

permissions with ext4 is pretty bothersome with Android 6.x

the alternative for AirDroid would be X-plore File Manager

This worked nicely on the GT-i9000 (aka Galaxy S) with Android 6.0 - so it should also apply here

will try this out once my new microSD has arrived (which still should be a few weeks in the future)

Well, no idea if ethernet adapter works in cm-13.0 since I cannot test it. In case it doesn't, I know this commit would enable it back, but I need someone to test it.

Yes, upload them to dropbox and share the link.

I think this is a known issue in cm-13.0, it also happens in my phone.

If you can explain to me, I will try.
[G Pad 8.3 Original Android Development] fefifofum:
I don't know if that is related to gapps or cm-13.0, but it's not a device specific issue, so there isn't much I can do about it. About multi-window, you can enable it from developer options. Check post 2 if you don't know how to enable them.

Install latest cm-13.0, test ethernet adapter and let me know if it works. If it doesn't, I will make a test build with that commit so you can test if that works.
