Thanks for your prompt answers. I'm having the same issue in Lineage 13.0.: Any attempt to go into Settings> Storage crashes the Settings app, both in 14.1 and 13.0.

The SD seems good, Windows has no issue formatting it and writing+reading to+from it.

Reformatting the SD in the recovery seems to work (no error message); it also work when I did it on my Windows PC.

File Manager is able to open and navigate the SD. There's not much on it after a format, but I can go down a few levels in /Android and its subdirs.

The SD is detected as new after a reformat on either Windows or the recovery

I'm not using a theme, the storage issue happens right after install, on first run, when it's the first thing I do after the initial setup routine.

I'm wondering if it's not my internal flash that's going bad, I had graphics corruption in a game before on official ROM, which is what prompted my switching ROMs.

I've been trying to investigate, or just get the phone to a usable config, but my Google Play downloads are stuck on "pending", I think from lack of storage.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bowtie81:
is there any info about how many beta versions will be released and when will this firmware reach alpha state or official state? I think it could be added to the official lineage os supported device, or will it in the future, are there such plans? Anyway, awesome work no less.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] obarthelemy:
Alpha comes before beta, the cycle is : Alpha ( = not feature-complete, crashes often) then Beta (feature-complete, some crashes) the Release Candidate (RC, a few last bugs to work on + needs lots of users to test and ferret out the most hidden bugs) then Release (never ever any bugs, amirite ? ;-p)

Hi, I'm trying to DL beta 7 & basically...can't. The OTA app won't work, despite trying mobile data and WiFi. When I tried a direct download with chrome, it downloaded to 88% on WiFi (backup phone needs my sim card right now) then paused and refuses to start again. Data saver is off in both system and chrome, metered connections is off, and, yes, I turned the storage permission for chrome off and on again as [MENTION=3503989]mucaco[/MENTION] advised already. I recently repartitioned successfully, so where it's saving to can't lack for space. Can't imagine what's wrong :(

Hello [MENTION=799465]bauner[/MENTION], running Beta7 without issues until yesterday... after a while the system didn't recognize anymore the external SD, it is mounted but is showed as almost empty (live a drive of 440Mb-instead of 32Gb- with just 440kb of free space) and with a strange name like "^WFD 4M ^HGDD^ ".

Trying to explore it with a file explorer makes the app freeze or fc, same opening System Settings->Storage, it just fc. In recovery everything is fine, I can see the SD, browse contents and so on.

I figured out probably the drive got corrupted, but is there a way to fix it whitout formatting it? Already tryed to repair the file system from recovery, it said "Done" but it fixed anything :crying:

About the causes of corruption, SD is older than Note, I used it a lot to carry music/ebook, was almost full last time I transfered something (with MTP from a Win10 system).

Thx for your great effort with NightOwl, amazing work like always:D

You can use apps like catlog or alogcat

I don't know why it happened for you.

Currently the only way I know to fix it would be to backup your data and format the sdcard in the recovery

I know about it.

It will not cause problems.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] MrMosoani:
You can't fix it yourself.

It is a counting problem of android on our device because newer devices will use another partition layout.

To see your current partitions usage you could use the app diskinfo

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.kuder.diskinfo

so, if I can't fix this. I won't be able to anymore install apps because it's almost full. The phone will become almost useless if I can't install anymore apps. Is there any other way that I can reset the system storage or clear it to free up space?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] SoulSlayer69:

Naw, I think the CM11 and CM12.1 is competent enough to be a daily driver already without the need for updates. I'm pretty sure all that's needed are security updates, which isn't that necessary.

Yep. I can confirm both issues. Which is weird I tested YouTube with ChromeCast and that combo is doing fine. But YT with playback on the Phone is just sound and no image.

Just 2 times pressing the powerbutton is enough to get a soft reboot.

Tested Titanium BackUp, was able to restore apps+data. So I think it is working...TB is warming about the Root access (advising to use SuperSU) but operating with built-in root.

Restored ASN Bankieren (a dutch banking app), Spotify and Sygic using TB, all worked OK.

Tested OpenCamera again, seems to be saving to sdcard0, which I can not reach using File Manager. So Gallery is also not able to display taken pictures. I can not set OpenCamera to save to sdcard1. Toast error saying "Can't write to this folder'. Permissions to use storage are set for this app...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
I bricked it while flashing a kernel from the terminal with dd.

I did an mistake and flashed it to the wrong partition.

Now it is fixed and I got it back yesterday.

I think also cm13 is working good enough as a daily driver.

For cm12.1 and cm13 I will provide updates with the security patches and maybe some smaller changes.

The video problem should be fixed in the next version.

The sdcard0 problem also needs some work because we don't use an emulated internal storage which would be the android default

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bauner:
You could backup your apps with titanium backup and also do a full backup of the rom in the recovery.

Then you can try a clean install and use it for some time to test if your battery drain is gone.

After this you could try to restore some apps with titanium backup and test it again.

btw did you test it also with another battery?

Because there are many fake batteries

Problem with battery lost charge

Hello Bauner,

recently I install 7.1.2 Nougat on may Note. Since of them, my phone doesn't seems to take a recharge on, I need to shut down it and then recharge. Is that a bug?:confused:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] karatekid430:
Crash N7000 running latest NightOwl Beta

Hi Bauner,

Great work.

But I have noticed, after plugging in a rtl8153 USB Gigabit Ethernet into the device with OTG adapter, the system freezes and crashes when the adapter is disconnected. I tried to read the kernel logs but I got nowhere - they appear to be deleted by the time it has rebooted. The Ethernet adapter does not work either. Although it is registered as eth0 in /proc/net/dev, it does not do anything, and root apps also fail to enable it. Do you have any suggestions here as to why it might be happening, or how I could find out?

I was also wondering about kernel versions. The Galaxy S8 has a vastly newer 4.4.13, which makes a world of difference with OTG support. What is the chance that a newer kernel would have all the required driver support for the N7000?

Personally Samsung should just demand that any chips they buy have a contract where the manufacturer maintains working drivers on the latest Linux mainline kernel - and therefore will ensure latest kernel support on all devices for Android. I guess Samsung would have to deal with that for the stuff they produce, but surely an experienced kernel developer could easily keep the drivers up to date and compatible with the latest kernel changes, incrementally. Even I managed to compile the r8152.c into r8152.ko against Samsung headers for N7000 - except the NightOwl uses cdc_ether IIRC. Insmodding my driver does not help the crash. I cannot make the system load it for the Ethernet over cdc_ether.

The only other feedback I can give is that it is slow. Yes, the device is slow and RAM deprived. But I am using a root booster app, and only flashed pico Gapps. So I am wondering if ROM optimisations could cut it back to minimum impact.

Thanks for any help.

Great work. Although this, based on AOSP, will not win me over from stock Samsung firmware (Samsung Keyboard and TouchWiz make Android for me), this has been a great experience. Running 7.1.2 clearly helps keep the device alive (but then again lack of Xposed Framework does not help) but the old kernel is still holding it back.

I can't help you much with your problem because I don't have such an device.

But as @samarium already wrote you should find a log in /proc/last_kmsg after a kernel related crash.

I am up to my neck in work for the next couple of days, will try it soon (last_kmesg) and get back to you.

Also, over my uni break, I could spend some time on it. I don't know what level of skill is required to move to a new kernel, but do you know of any good reading on the topic? If I could somehow get 4.4.13 from Galaxy S8 working then it would make the device modern again. One of the best things about the Galaxy S8 is the kernel. It really does help support USB devices. I had three Ethernet adapters connected at once. All recognised by the kernel. Unfortunately cannot use all three at once due to Samsung limitations in the UI.

Thanks for the reply!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] samarium:
Sounds like you have a large and winding learning curve ahead of you. Just understanding git, how android sources are managed between git and github, android image building, linux kernel build and tweaking the existing version will be huge, but you will undoubtedly learn a lot.

As for rolling the kernel forward to a recent version, I for one would applaud, however if it was easy I think [MENTION=799465]bauner[/MENTION] would have already done it. It is not just a case of rolling the source code forward with git, but you also have to migrate any data structure access, and deal with binary blob integration, and probably many more tasks as I only have a minimal idea of the complexity of the task.

I've never been able to free up enough time to get to a state where I think I understand the process enough to download android source,, build it, test it, hack and repeat, and contribute my changes back upstream, but there are plenty of people doing it, and hopefully a university break will give you enough time to get at least some of the way there.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Capodoglio:
Hi all! I have a question: is it possible that a corrupted external sd causes continuous reboots, random shutdowns, and general slowing down to the Note? Because I had a similar problem with beta 3 and 4, so I went back to Lineage 13. But I experienced the same problems. So I checked and saw the external sd was not seen by the phone. I tried to enter recovery and format (again) in vfat, but it coudn't be formatted, so I simply took the memory card out, and now the phone seems to be stable and running...

TIA for any answer.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] busawahk:
Thanks. After doing some research I found that I needed to install the ARM busy box zip file. I still had the error but it turns out that I didn't give viper the -rw-r-r- permissions which gave me that error.

However the driver install error due to busy box where it said busbox not installed properly, install stericson's busy box, is because I needed Viper4android cleaner.

Link to Busy box mirror. I used the arm option:

I also recommend reading about how to install busy box on Lineage 14.1 as this helped me get the right busy box:

Interestingly you can still use the older Viper on android 7

---------- Post added at 10:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:55 AM ----------

Possibly. Well I think it depends on how its corrupted. From my experience the note is under a lot of stress for ram, it slows down a bunch. If the SD card somehow increases ram usage due to a corrupt file the note is trying to read as a constant background task, it has less available ram. As for the boot loop, I have no idea. After nearly 6 years with the note I still consider myself a noob with it. My rooting/ ROM experience has only been about 4 years

Hi Bauner, letting you know that I flashed Beta 8 a few times i.e. (1) dirty flashed, (2) clean flashed and (3) restored Beta 7 dalvik/cache wiped and then flashed Beta 8.

I have since gone back to Beta 7. Thank you so very much for your continuous efforts in updating and improving this ROM.
