Hi thompatry

Thank you so much for your wonderful and hard work on this ROM.....! it's great to have the camera back.

I'm not able to get my mic working on any apps at all.

Would it be posible to have a look at pen detection at some point? I'm using 2 app that need to detect when the pen is removed and replaced, Artflow and S pen keeper, on the last ROM I was using ( cm-13.0-20160504-UNOFFICIAL-v1awifi.zip ) I was able to use a fuction in CM S Pen Add-on(Root) to detect the pen but that functionality in that app does not work on the new cm-13.0-20161130-UNOFFICIAL-v1awifi.zip build.

Thank you :o

For the flickering issue, and I have repaired MANY of those devices, you need to tighten the battery contacts on the connector. Microscope needed most times.

Also sometimes the connector on the mainboard got cracked solders and needs to be resoldered also.

An absolute fix is to resolder the connector on the mainboard and solder the battery connector on it. But this prevent any future easy battery replacement.

If someone wants a complete procedure in PDF with photos, I've written one for the other technicians where I work, I can provide the file on request.

I can't include as attachment. 563.5 KB bytes exceeds the forum's limit of 488.3 KB..... well...

My solution was to simply add a foam pad to the rear of the connector in order to apply some continuous mild pressure to the joint.

Not a flicker in the last four months. :cool:
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] FileCity:
This may help, but the real solution is to resolder the main conenctor on the mainboard and tighten the pins of the battery connector so they make good contacts.

The ultimate solution is to solder all of this but not very smart for a furure battery replacement...

I've repaired many of those tablets, and tightening of the pins solve this most of the time...

Since this tablet is very large and the connector centered, when the frame bends this connector has a good chance to break, bad design from Samsung in my opinion.

I dont think we need to totally derail the thread about flickering displays, I was just celebrating the kernel adiutor recommended by the developer.

Hangouts is crashing every time I begin to type. Not sure if you still want logs or not with focus shifting to 14.1. I am on a clean install. Thank you for the hard work.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] Don B:
I'd like the pdf please, I did MP you with an email address.

Thank.you for offering up the procedure and pdf

Hi [MENTION=7380785]Don B[/MENTION],

[MENTION=4817899]thompatry[/MENTION] is aware of the audio issue and is working on it for the next build.

However It should be reminded again to everyone I guess, that [MENTION=4817899]thompatry[/MENTION] is getting overwhelmed at the moment with work (His daytime job), he is working stupid long hours and has not been able to spend as much as he hoped on finalising some stuff.

Please be patient as I know he is working on some other big surprises as well, but the audio issue is being looked at, is on the agenda for resolution and will make it on the next build as a fix if I am not mistaken.

Also fellow NP12 peeps, please make sure that before registering your issue on here that you at the very minimum do the following:

1. Wipe the Cache in TWRP, this is best located in the advanced wipe menu if you are running the latest TWRP

2. For WiFi please make sure that you have gone into WiFi option and then gone to advanced and then chosen your respective country/region (This is the common problem)

3. If option 1 does not work, then backup your files using TWRP, store them on an external card, then do a full wipe (I even highly recommending doing a full wipe, then reflash and then full wipe again), then set the tablet up as per normal, then go back into TWRP and restore your backup... This has proven to be very helpful in many cases, it should only take about an hour tops to do it.

4. I know it is not scientific, but try and go through some of the pages and see if your problem already has some suggestions, it can take a few minutes but that few minutes can avoid frustrating some of us who have already done the hard work responding to the same question previously... Whilst we are not precious people and we really truly want to help everyone out, I do in real-life hate repeating myself to people over and over again, it does get a little tiresome, so all I am asking is be respectful to your fellow NP12 peeps who have assisted answering the same question, as there are a few of us on here who do actively respond and help people with their issues.

As for the screen flickering issue, it has been documented to death in this thread (And others and on Google), but it is a well known fact that the issue is the connector soldered onto the motherboard, not the actual connector that goes into the PCB from the battery. Soldering it does help and in some cases may resolve it, but as I have discovered the hard way with my one, even soldering it can do a temp fix, and have now discovered you actually need to de-solder the old crap and resolder with new stuff, because if you don't fully resolve the previous crack (You are not assured 100% your new solder will fill the crack) it will cause a dry spot on the other side... So yeah I have to do it all over again and properly de-solder it this time :(

Cheers,

David.

-- Just a quick note on restoring data to your tablet - I've had the best luck restoring everything except system apps. I would get random things happening on the tablet (reboots, apps hanging, etc.) no matter how many times I wiped, flashed and restored all of my data. I stopped restoring system apps from TB and this ROM has been great ever since, no problems for me at all.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] DGT79:
Now that is a handy bit of advice, I will have to try that myself now as I have been getting some random lockups and I cannot really see why in the log files, but I never considered to think it might have been the restored system apps.

Nice one [MENTION=3643017]rhricik447[/MENTION] :)

Cheers,

Little problem - no root access

First of all thanks for that nearley perfect ROM! I want to have root access because of the s pen app "CM SPen add-on"

I have activated the developer root access settings (Apps and ADB). But the CM SPen add-on says that there is no root access. The root checker app says that the device is rooted but

in red letters SELinux Status: Enforcing. How can i deactivate this setting to get real root access?

Thanks for your replies!
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] cavalier90:
installed this on my P900 this week. so far, it has been working well. tablet is much more responsive. I can also confirm that the microphone for the "OK Google" is not working. I understand folks are working on it and I am very appreciative of the efforts!
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] Don B:
I was having the same problem, the only way I was able to install it was from Titanium Backup, but even if you're able to install it there's no pen detection on removal/insertion, it had been a long time since I had updated a nightly but it was working perfectly on ( cm-13.0-20160504-UNOFFICIAL-v1awifi.zip ) I've tried Nov 30th, Nov 4th, Oct 20th builds but no luck, I can't say if this functionality was lost along the way or if its one of my settings but if it is setting I've yet to figure it out.

If you figure it out please post the info on how you did it, I'd really like to get it working again:)
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] predator74:
Thanks for your response. OK then there is actually no chance to get the s pen work like in the offical ROM. No big problem. Besides this I´m very happy with this ROM!!
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] Don B:
I wouldn't say no chance, my problems may be due to my inability to get the settings right, if you can do without the camera and casting try cm-13.0-20160504-UNOFFICIAL-v1awifi.zip, it was working great for me since early may, much faster than the stock ROM, I've only recently updated but might be going back to the earlier release, the camera and casting is nice but for me not worth losing the mic and pen detection.

Good luck:)
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] predator74:
As I said I´m pretty happy with the latest ROM. So i will stay with this. The s pen feature isn´t so important to me. I was just wondering about the root problem with the s pen app. But Titanium Backup installed just fine. So i think that s pen app is the reason or is just not compatible. Perhaps thompatry is able to fix the mic and s pen problem and makes us a nice christmas present ;) That would be great!:D
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] Bystorm:
I'm using this, and it's pretty nice and much faster than the stock Lollipop. However I did have random reboot problems, which I'm chalking up to me using the Linux-On-Android, and trying to get it up and running. Sometimes I had my screen go blank as to I needed to restart.

Just a few minutes ago while using Sketchbook, the screen went blank and restarted. It would sometimes forecfully reboot while sketching.

EDIT: 1:08 AM -Screen frozen again while using Sketchbook.

I'm wondering if I should backup and factory reset, or if there are issues.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] DGT79:
It is a known issue :)

Cheers,

David.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] Bystorm:
Cool. I really love this ROM so far. It even blows the CM12 Lollipop out of the water in terms of speed and that I can use the IR blaster to change channels. I don't have complaints about the S-Pen though. Though I wonder if it means people want to use the functions like in Stock. That would be kind of convenient to have the selection capabilities through the S-Pen.

It'd be nice to have some more stability with that speed.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] risant:
When will cm 14.1 for p900 be release?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] SSam96:
Wow this ROM is great, It runs so smoothly. I used to have a problem with using multiple apps like listing to music and doing other tasks, but now everything is optimized perfectly. Thanks a lot! :)
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] Drift3r:
The ETA is "When it is ready". .:p

I'm half joking but half being serious.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] thompatry:
Hey Guys,

Sorry I haven't been around much. I have been working my tail off. 60 hours, 6 days a week. I have not forgotten about you guys. I have been diligently working on the "OK Google" and the hardware keys not working for volume unless you have some kind of media playing. Hopefully I can have a fix soon. Both those items are kind of difficult to wrap your head around why they are acting the way they are.

Last but not least, I have a little Christmas present for all of you so stay tuned. As always keep giving great feedback. I may not always reply, but I do read every single one of your posts.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] DGT79:
Hi [MENTION=4817899]thompatry[/MENTION],

Personally I am not overly worried about the "OK GOOGLE" issue as I simply dont use it on my tablet, but I do use it frequently on my phone.

Is it a signature thing due to it being a custom ROM?

I do get the ocassional rebooting issue but all in all it is a very stable ROM and there are little to 0 issues remaining, the rest are functionalty to do with likeness of stock ROM, which I am not fussed about.

Cheers,

David.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] Manya3084:
Only 60 hours in 6 days? Try 60 hours in 5 days ?.

Everyone loves Christmas...

Keep up the great work. No need to rush, current build is pretty flawless when your not using the s-pen.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] westwallpoma:
Cool - you've ported ChromeOS to the P900? Great job :D

Have a great Christmas and take a break.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] DGT79:
Now that would be frigging awesome!

Actually I was investigating the last couple of days the notion of installing Ubuntu on this tablet since there appears to be a couple of people who have done it, though I don't know how effective it would be.

Cheers,

David.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] westwallpoma:
At the risk of going off-topic, do you mean native or within a chroot?

Meefik has recently updated Linux Deploy (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.meefik.linuxdeploy) and it's possible to install and run Ubuntu LTS 16.04 + MATE on the device - running as a chroot. VNC can be a little clunky (no worse than crouton + xiwi on ChromeOS) but it's usable. I gave up in the end (battery usage was high) and went with Termux ( https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=com.termux ) instead.

Hey Everyone,

Just a quick update, I have posted a new build today with usual updates. Nothing really changed on the device or kernel side of things. OK Google is still broken and the default audio levels are still not set. We are getting close to having them finalized.

In other exciting news, I have released CM-14.1 for the P900 (v1awifi). Everything is super stable. I hope this is a good Christmas present! Here is the thread. Link

New CM-13.0 nightly posted. Link

As always, keep giving the great feedback.

Instructions

Thank you young man for generously sharing your time and skill.

Hope do I install this? Could you point me too some basic instructions? I'm not concerned about warranty as I've had my beloved smp900 open to check battery connection and screen flickering.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] thools60:
What version of OS are you on? Lollipop or KitKat? Is it rooted? Do you have TWRP installed? Here is a pretty good videolink if you need to start from scratch. You must have TWRP installed to install a CM ROM. And if you are on KitKat you need to update your bootloader through Odin. After all that you can install this ROM. Back up the data you want to keep and do a full wipe in TWRP

Just want to say thank you once more to Thompatry! The latest build fixed the problem with WiFi disconnects I was describing in comment 583 , maybe also because I'm now using Deathly Adiutor, like GMGLG was also reporting. Thank you!!

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] thompatry:
New build is posted. Not much changed since a lot of time went into fixing "OK Google". I will be supporting CM -> Lineage switch over. The new build can be dirty flash. Also the file will start with the words Lineage now. The new builds will be in the same place as the CM builds. Below are the changes.

Changelog

Ok Google audio fixed

General enhancements, improvements, and bug fixed from the Lineage Team

Enjoy! Link
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] Gary_O:
Does this Lineage OS version of the ROM support CM 13 themes?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] thompatry:
Yes as far as I know. It is the same ROM as CM-13.0 just renamed. It should have a the Cyanogenmod Theme Engine.

---------------------------------------------

In other news, I will be looking at dropping support for Lineage 13.0 at the end of January or February. The reasoning is that there is really no more core development going on at the base level of the ROM. The Linage core team is now considering it a project that is "old". It is on basic life support and just receiving security patches. I would like to know your thoughts or comments about this.

In the next couple of builds, I will be trying to get mhl working, baking in the stock audio levels, and removing the "SEANDROID" message that occurs on ROM boot

Alright, that is all I got for right now. Need to get back to developing and learning more. As always, feel free to donate me a beer . You can find my donate link in my profile or under my username on my post. If you have donated, thank you. Much is appreciated.

As always, keep giving the great feedback and I will keep putting out quality products for you. I really enjoy helping the Android community and reviving our fantastic tablets!
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] Gary_O:
I have installed this LineageOS 13.0 ROM, and can confirm that the CM Theme Engine is included and working. Also, LastPass is working again. Thanks!!

That makes sense to drop support for this ROM on Lineage 13.0, particularly as you now have a Lineage 14.0 ROM. I would expect that some sort of theming will eventually be available for Lineage 14.0. Onward and upward!

=GO=
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] Pipinpadiloxacopolis:
The latest firmware (lineage-13.0-20170106-UNOFFICIAL-v1awifi) works great! I haven't found any new problems using it, seems really smooth. Thanks again thompatry! I'm looking forward to the MHL and volume fixes, those are things I'm interested in too...

Btw, the date of the latest build in the first post is still the old 2016 one right now.

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] af818276:
I dont know if that allready was asked, but does this OS supports all the S-Pen functions? Does this functions still running smooth like with the Original Samsung OS?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] thompatry:
Alright so since there is no push back, I will be dropping support for CM-13.0 at the end of January. I will no longer build CM-13.0 but I will maintain the sources till the end of January.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] coco1476:
Hi thompatry, first thank you for your hard work. I have a question for you or anyone who can answer. Which on of your lineages rom is faster and has less bugs, 13.0 or the 14.1?

Deathly Analytics...

Deathly Adiutor is making persistent connections to analytics site 'app-measurement.com'. This is a nasty little surprise. Anyone know exactly what's being uploaded?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] tincho5588:
We are collecting all your private data to sell it online! muajaja! :D

joking joking! LOL

DA uses firebase analytics, firebase crash reports, and admob services... (Dont know firebase¿ click here!)

Anyway, those services are provided by Google, they are perfectly safe, and they only gather information related to the app and its behavior... It is what we use to know the fatal crashes, ANRs, and all that stuff that help us improve the app code to make it better and more stable...

If you want to know more about firebase, they have a nice web page with lots of information, you can find everything in the link I provided...

Cheers!
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] Phuyuk:
Yes, I know. 'Nothing to worry about.'... 'Everybody's doing it.' The thing is, there are folks - myself included - who've taken deliberate and meaningful steps to disconnect from Google primarily, and analytics generally. F-Droid, for example, tags analytics as "Anti-features", in bold red letters. If analytics is baked into a ROM (fundamentally rude, in my opinion), as is apparently the case with Adiutor in the most recent P900 CM13 releases, the user should at least be afforded the opportunity to OPT OUT.

Cheers!
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] tincho5588:
Disabling the app will do it if u r not OK with firebase...

As I said before, it is only a tool aimed for development... No need to be paranoic...

Oh, btw, if u believe what anybody says on the net, u r doomed dude... Idk what f-droid is, IDC either... I know I develop this app, I know what kind of info firebase gives me... U can believe my word, or just not use the app!
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] Phuyuk:
"Dude?" Don't be demeaning, just because you clearly haven't anything thoughtful or insightful to add to the conversation. There should be full disclosure. If you really don't understand that principle, then "u r doomed" (and naive) Learn for yourself what F-Droid is. (Clearly, 'open source' is not in your vernacular.)
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] tincho5588:
Didnt mean to offend... sorry...

anyway, I dont know what F-droid is, idc either...

If you really care about the Open Source subject, the source code of the app is available for you to check it out, or build it...

Link to the source code:

https://github.com/exynos5420/deathly_adiutor_free

You can always change whatever you want in the code before building...

This is the way I ship the app... If you think it does not fit your philosophy, you can change it for your own usage... All the needed tools are at your disposal...
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] Phuyuk:
Yes, if I don't like the build recipe, I can build it myself. I already know that. That's hard advice for others who aren't equipped to do it. DA shouldn't have been baked in - not witbout clear disclosure (especially for the novice), an 'opt-out', or both. "Don't like ads" is not disclosure of analytics telemetry, btw.
