[MENTION=5535151]julian67[/MENTION], thank you so much!

[MENTION=4999771]techxx[/MENTION], I went biking again for an hour with high accuracy GPS and music playing on my bluetooth speaker and had zero issues today.
[Galaxy Note II General] Headley:
So....installed agni kernel. No reboot today but short audio Hang for perhaps 1 second 3 times....i believe that would be the reboot reason. Many errors from activitymanager Seen in logcat :(

But now I have black screen in phone calls :(

Reflashing the same ROM worked....

Sorry guys.... after mucking around for a bit i tried reinstalling only the ROM and everythings back.... I mean Quick tiles and notifications etc.... but now i'm getting google play services error.... hmmmm...:confused:
[Galaxy Note II General] Headley:
Can it be, that the proximity Sensor is not working? In sensor test I got 0. perhaps is the reason of in call black screen?

Build 17/5 with latest agni

Try reformatting everything and start a fresh installation Jingo. Maybe that would help.
[Galaxy Note II General] Headley:
Flashed again over without agni...Sensor is working.... Hmm...now I have the reboot Problem again.... Grmpf

Here's how to install CM 13 + Gapps on your Note II with TWRP already installed:

Stage 1:

Make sure your Note has full battery or is on powered dock.

Boot into TWRP

Wipe all except recovery.

Go back to TWRP menu

Stage 2:

Connect your Note to PC and, using adb or your file manager, copy from PC to Note your CM 13 zip and your gapps zip. Make sure you have the most recent compatible gapps.

Checksum the CM zip and make sure it matches the checksum shown at https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=t0lte&type=nightly

If your gapps zip shows a checksum at its download site then checksum that as well.

Diconnect your Note from your PC.

Stage 3:

Go to TWRP Install

Add CM 13 zip

DO NOT INSTALL YET!!

Choose option to add another zip

Add the gapps zip to the queue.

Now you can proceed and install.

Done!

You must install the gapps in the same run as the CM zip on CM 13 or you will run into numerous permissions problems and lot of odd behaviour. Google has changed the way apps get and ask for permissions in CM 13.

When your Note finally boots to CM you should be prepared to grant permissions to all the Google apps and services that request it. Also, if an app which wants to write to disk you will need to respond to the prompt and grant permission. It is boring and annoying for a little while but then it is done and the permissions granted do persist through upgrades.
[Galaxy Note II General] Headley:
Wipe all except recovery?? Boot partition too? I never wiped boot before

I'm running TWRP 3.0.2-0.

Boot TWRP>

Wipe>

Advanced Wipe>

Here are the options:

Dalvik / ART Cache

Cache

System

Data

Internal Storage

Micro SDCard

USB OTG.

There is no option to wipe Boot partition. No need to dream up doomsday scenario or impossible scary looking "what if".

For new CM 13 install or upgrade from 12.1 back up your personal data and wipe the following:

Dalvik / ART

Cache

System

Data

Internal Storage

Micro SDCard
[Galaxy Note II General] Headley:
Oh sorry...yes oft course. You can't format boot. My mistake. Sooo....clean installed note 2. I hope I’ll get no more random reboots :)

Gesendet von meinem GT-N7105 mit Tapatalk
[Galaxy Note II General] julian67:
Good luck!

It is truly boring to set up/start over, and frustrating not to be able to use all available titanium or 3c backups to speed up the process without impacting on stability, but it is worth it imo. CM 13 on GT-N7105 is stable and has great battery life, connectivity and call quality.
[Galaxy Note II General] techx:
Hi all. [MENTION=5535151]julian67[/MENTION] Thanks for all the steps and guides, I'm officially on CM13 now. It's great to have a fully patched device and it's works well. Only drawback is that having touchwiz withdrawal symptoms, lol. Been using GN 1 and now it's GN2 so it's a long time.

Had some hiccups but reflashed again and now it's all fine. Now FC's on any app and trying to get SPEN equivalent app at the moment. Plus how are you handling the root portion? Seems cumbersome to activate and deactivate it.
[Galaxy Note II General] Headley:
So...10 minutes on the road and...reboot! I hate it! [emoji35]

Gesendet von meinem GT-N7105 mit Tapatalk
[Galaxy Note II General] techx:
[MENTION=6579331]Headley[/MENTION] what type of gapps are you installing? Make sure it's the correct version and choose the complete installation instead of customised installation.

---------- Post added at 07:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:51 AM ----------

Because I had reboot problem when I decided to customize the gapps installation.
[Galaxy Note II General] Headley:
I installed OpenGapps für Andoid 6 | ARM | pico

Today...while driving to work. Phone reboots 7 times at one hour! :( I never had so many reboots before. But if I turn off bluetooth and stop listening audible or music, there are no more reboots. At the last two days without bluetooth usage I also had no single reboot.
[Galaxy Note II General] julian67:
I also installed opengapps pico arm. No problems here.

SPen: I use "All in one Gestures" for pen gestures.* It is also great on devices with only soft buttons as you can dismiss the soft buttons (so get to use all your screen) and control the devices by gestures. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phoenixstudios.aiogestures

For note taking with pen I suggest you check out Squid (formerly Papyrus). In conjunction with Google's handwriting recognition it is very slick indeed. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.steadfastinnovation.android.projectpapyrus

I'm not sure what you mean by "handling the root portion". Are you talking about SPen or the device in general or something else? You will have to be specific.

Anyway for root in CM you activate developer options by going to Settings>About Phone and tapping "Build number" until it confirms developer settings enabled. Then go back into Settings>Developer Options>Root access and choose either "Apps only" or "Apps and ADB". I choose the latter as occasionally it's useful to have a root shell via ADB. After you have done this you can just respond to CM's root prompts; there is no need for any third party root app or manager.

*edit: cm has pen gestures configurable in the settings menu but it is quite basic. "All in one Gestures" app allows you to gesture using hover motions i.e. without touching the screen, and it is more customisable in terms of launching actions and apps.
[Galaxy Note II General] techx:
Hi [MENTION=5535151]julian67[/MENTION] thank you for the updates.

(1) I will try out the All in one Gestures and Squid. Any idea if there's any Air Command equalent for CM13? Not a deal breaker but really got used to it.

(2) I got better understanding of the root system on CM13 but would need time to getting used to it. Quite different unlike the other ROMS where the root requiring apps would prompt for root access.

(3) Currently I have reformatted the External SDcard for system use, so no more pop ups.

(4) How do you do the updates from CyanogenMod Updates from "About Phone" menu in Setting? I tried and managed to download an update - cm-13.0.20160519-NIGHTLTY and choose the "Update" option, the update goes to 18% and reboots to TWRP recovery and goes to "Recovery" menu. After this i'm not sure what to do as the "Recovery" option requires me to choose a Backup either from Internal or External Storage but I don't find any Recovery file in either these two locations.

Thank you.

techx
[Galaxy Note II General] julian67:
I can only suggest you try it out and explore the options.

It's the same in CM13. You get pop-up prompts and can make your choice permanent or once only. If you have installed a root manager app then behaviour might be different, but default cm 13 behaviour is very simple and exactly as expected.

I've only used the automated update a couple of times in CM 13 and it was fine for me. Usually I do the update manually as I have another zip I need to update with each upgrade (Better Battery Stats zip). I have experienced in other CM versions and on other devices that CM's auto updater could be unreliable.

If CM's updater downloads an update you will find it the internal storage in the folder cmupdater.
[Galaxy Note II General] Nemesis158:
I upgraded my phone to the latest Nightly from Liquid 4.4.2 because i was on the verge of buying a new phone due to constant battery drain and the dreaded Proximity sensor issue with the Note 2.

I only chose to upgrade because one of the posts in this thread indicated that the proximity sensor problem was fixed.

Why am i still having proximity sensor issues? The screen does not respond at all to the phone being placed/pulled away from my ear and i have to press multiple buttons to wake the screen just like i was doing before.

OTG is also broken in this, my phone crashes every time i try to use an OTG drive and it didn't have any issues with this on liquid 4.4.2...
[Galaxy Note II General] techx:
[MENTION=5564217]Nemesis158[/MENTION] sorry to hear about the issue mate. I'm on the current nightly update and I have yet to encounter such problem. I would advise follow precisely what [MENTION=5535151]julian67[/MENTION] have posted on the upgrading steps. If the problem persists, it could be the sensor is faulty. Best way to verify it is to flash back to stock ROM and check.
[Galaxy Note II General] techx:
Anyone using AGNi with this ROM? Any issues?
[Galaxy Note II General] XSLdesire:
I'm using the latest AGNi with this rom and it's working well.
[Galaxy Note II General] techx:
[MENTION=4383773]XSLdesire[/MENTION] Thank you for the info. Just wondering which version you are using and installation is just flashing via recovery mode right?

Thank you again.
[Galaxy Note II General] XSLdesire:
The smdk4x12 one.

Yes, just flash via recovery.
[Galaxy Note II General] julian67:
I use a headset most of the time so have no real experience of the proximity sensor, so cannot comment on that But I do use OTG and it is working fine here. I think with the rather more fine grained permissions model of MM (compared to LP and earlier) that some, maybe many, apps are not going to behave well with OTG storage until their authors update them. I find that CM 13 lets me read and write to the external USB drive and there are zero crashes. However some 3rd party file managers and apps clearly need updating.

In my experience it is absolutely required to start with CM 13/MM as though on a new device. The permissions model is significantly different such that doing the usual upgrade from one major CM version to another is not viable. It is vital that one installs gapps in the same run as installing CM, else the OS boots with essential Google apps not having sufficient permissions to function correctly. Similarly it is a huge mistake to restore app data for root enabled apps or system apps, or for apps which you have not yet awarded sufficient permissions.

Upgrading from 11 or 12 to 13 is just a giant fsck-up. Start over, don't be in a hurry, and it's great. All other scenarios? Good luck......
[Galaxy Note II General] techx:
[MENTION=4383773]XSLdesire[/MENTION] I tried installing, with Dalvik and Cache wipe but after reboot, the apps will optimise and comes to "Apps starting" and just hangs there. I tried waiting for about 30 minutes but nothing happened.

Possible to share the steps on how you flashed Agni on top this ROM.

I do have Exposed Framework installed and I wonder if this causes the issue.

Thank you.

[Galaxy Note II General] Mauro_Cepeda:
Hi, I installed this ROM and anything run perfect during the setup an later. At hour later the phone freeze and I pulled the battery and turn it on again but now it says "SIM card is perso locked" and don't have data+ requires a unlock code.

Please any help?
[Galaxy Note II General] XSLdesire:
That's strange, I never saw that before.

I also have xposed installed but everything is ok.

Have you installed supersu 2.6.5 or above?
[Galaxy Note II General] techx:
Nope, I'm just relying on the CM 13 builtin root. I have enabled it.
[Galaxy Note II General] techman817:
Installed cm13 earlier today for the first time, and everything went smooth (besides the voice input key on the aosp keyboard...no big deal). I downloaded the update for today 5-24 and after the install my phone nearly burst into flames. This happen immediately after the upgrades went through. I took the battery out (phone turned off), and I thought it would get cooler, but it didn't for another minute or so. Just turned it on again, and it seems fine. Be cautious of the temperature when upgrading.
[Galaxy Note II General] XSLdesire:
I just flash agni and reboot. Nothing special. It just works. Maybe something of xposed modules causes your issue.
[Galaxy Note II General] techx:
[MENTION=4383773]XSLdesire[/MENTION] just checking, how is your SD Card has been set? Has it been formatted as Internal Storage or are you using it as unformatted to CM 13 bugging pop up?

Thank you.

---------- Post added at 04:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:06 AM ----------

[MENTION=7494572]techman817[/MENTION], I just updated to the latest nightly update and i didn't get the heat issue. Do check again and see what other application you have installed from the last update.
[Galaxy Note II General] Nemesis158:
I did not start from an earlier version of CM

I had LiquidSmooth 4.2.2 or 4.4.2 (dont remember which).

I downloaded CM13 Rom and Latest full Gapps to SD card and updated to latest TWRP

Rebooted into recovery, ran backup, then Factory wipe (including dalvik/cache)

Flashed CM, then Gapps, then rebooted phone

Phone rebooted on its own 3 times before showing the CM android boot anim then it went through setup fine. That was saturday night.

Sunday I had no issues using the phone but wasn't doing much besides customizing my theme/layouts ect. Later on that day it randomly rebooted for no reason (phone was just sitting on my desk and then rebooted)

Monday i started noticing the issues. Tried to watch a video on my OTG drive during my lunch hour at work using ES file explorer to access the drive and found it would just reboot. During the same lunch break i discovered that the latest version of Gapps had a glitch that left the phone with no default dialer app causing it to soft-reboot if a call was received or the phone app was selected, fixed that and got into dialer and saw that proximity still wasnt working properly. I had previously been using a widget/app called "proximity fix" to reset the proximity sensor values every time this issue occured before and used it again, seemed to work, for how long is yet to be seen (phone usually went 4 or 5 days without proximity issues then theyd happen again.)

Installed AGNi kernel at the suggestion of a PM in response to my earlier post. After installing AGNi i was able to get more functionality out of the OTG but it was still causing the phone to operate very slowly and would lock up completely if i tried to multitask at all. I didn't try the built-in file explorer but it seemed the phone wasn't even detecting the OTG drive until I opened ES file explorer with the AGNi kernel installed.

I really don't want to spend money on a new phone ATM, and this looked like it could fix my problems, but its been nothing but headaches again lol.

Hope i didn't leave anything out for you.

I went from full system wipe to cm13 to 5-24 nightly. I didn't install anything extra besides GAPPS (pico). I understand not everybody will have this issue. It's just a word to the wise. ;)
[Galaxy Note II General] smallmj:
Here's another question for the folks that have had to re-unlock their phone. Does it only happen when you flash a new version? Or do you get the unlock message after using an image for a couple of days?

I don't want to be stuck with a locked phone while I'm on vacation without a computer.
[Galaxy Note II General] julian67:
Be aware that cm-13.0-20160526-NIGHTLY-t0lte.zip breaks wifi. Best to stick with cm-13.0-20160524-NIGHTLY-t0lte.zip until this is fixed. See https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/NIGHTLIES-3040
[Galaxy Note II General] techx:
New nightly had been released, guess the wifi issue has been patched.

Wondering if I could skip nightly builds to the current one for update? My last update was the 24th nightly update. I want to skip the 26th and 27th updates and use the latest 28th build?
[Galaxy Note II General] XSLdesire:
Of cause you could.
[Galaxy Note II General] julian67:
It will be fine. I went from 24th to 28th last night and wifi works again. No issues.

Thank you [MENTION=4383773]XSLdesire[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5535151]julian67[/MENTION] :)
[Galaxy Note II General] techx:
Well, after multiple tries to install latest AGNi, i realise that the current SD Card config and Agni can't work together. The installation of CM13, Gapps and Agni can be executed in a row but when the system is all set, the SD Card formatting as to be used Internal SD, the phone would hang. Same thing happens if I try to install AGNi after the SD Card was formatted to be used as internal SD, the phone would hang after optimising the apps after the boot.
[Galaxy Note II General] paulosaints:
I have been with cm 13 since the first nightly.

I have the last build installed (29).

Present problems:

- random reboots, 5 to 10 per day, that also happened with previous builds.

- Snap camera sometimes cant film, and when a movie is shoot sometimes he cant load the movie, says Type of file not valid

- Screencast or screen recorder, seems to record, but when i want to see the movie, using the stock video player or mx player it says the its not possible to reproduce the file.

GPS does not work

GPS doesn't work in the latest 6/4 build. Any known fixes?
[Galaxy Note II General] julian67:
I'm running nightly of 4th June. I just checked with location set to "Device only" i.e. GPS but no wifi or cell location. I got a satellite fix in about 5 seconds. Earlier today it took a few minutes to get a location fix. It can vary. Anyway, GPS seems to be working normally on nightly of 4th June on t0lte.
[Galaxy Note II General] agovinoveritas:
Just as FYI:

I am currently running the 29th build. I did a clean install, wiped SD (I was coming from a maintenance run from 4.3, and Samsung sometimes creates an entire "0 folder" on my internal drive where it dumps all future DATA, which creates a annoying folder set so I decide to start anew).

So far, no issues that I can find, no random reboots, outside my phone getting a bit warm.
[Galaxy Note II General] user442:
The phone warming issue is caused by LiveDisplay I think. When I disable it, the phone runs perfectly fine.
[Galaxy Note II General] techx:
Hi gurus , just wondering if anyone managed to get fast charging working for this mod as I couldn't use AGNi, my charging seems to be very slow. Maximum achieved with stock Samsung charger is only 1700MAh. With AGNi I used to get up to 2000MAh.
[Galaxy Note II General] techx:
Is there fast charging option available for N7105 under the CM13 ROM? I tried Kernel Tuner and fast charging option was listed as unavailable. Any idea why?
[Galaxy Note II General] tuneharsha:

[Galaxy Note II General] techx:
[MENTION=7519455]tuneharsha[/MENTION] dude, read up before installing CM13 cos it's not Samsung stock ROM. So of course Spen, motion gesture and other samsung specific apps won't work.
[Galaxy Note II General] papei:
Constant automatic reboots

I am getting random reboots just about every five minutes. With the first nightly for this phone, cm-13.0-20160606-NIGHTLY-t0lte.zip I did not have this problem. But I have had the problem with every nightly since. I did a factory reset and a clean install. Either something is buggy, or my phone is no the way out. As I don't use this phone as my daily driver, I can be patient and observe the problem for now.

It seems to happen only after I punch in my sim password. As long as I don't put in the sim password, the phone is stable. That's fine if I am only using the device as a media player. As a phone it is worthless as such.
[Galaxy Note II General] Matt Trakker:
[MENTION=4734419]papei[/MENTION] So you're using the nightly from 0606 without any problems like reboots or something else?

Cheers
[Galaxy Note II General] papei:
It is rebooting less frequently. It generally happens right after I flash and continues for up to an hour after flashing. It could be that my phone is on the fritz and that it has nothing to do with the rom. I just wanted to see if anyone was experiencing similar problems.
[Galaxy Note II General] Matt Trakker:
OK. But given the fact i would flash and use the Rom for a while without updating to another nightly it should work?
[Galaxy Note II General] papei:
After using this rom consistently now over the last few days, I can confirm that I am getting random reboots in airplane mode and when I use bluetooth. Otherwise, it seems to be stable.
