Auto-Restart while Charging

Hi,

I ported this rom about 3 days back on my N-9005. The rom is amazing, thanks to the developers!
But, I am facing one small problem. Whenever I put my phone to charge, after sometime, say about 15-20 mins, it restarts on its own and it gets stuck at 'android is upgrading' screen. It won't move from there even after hours, I have to manually restart the phone again to make it work.

Thanks!

Camera on sview stoped, music is lagging and APN doesnt save

Hi guys, first I wanna say: great job! This ROM is amazing! :D So, I have some issues... :silly: (1) In the sview when I call the camera, the camera doesnt open, appers a msg that it has stoped. And has no more snote on the sview? Can I change it keeping the custom background? (2) The APN when I save one more configuration desappers from the APNs list. And the more important: (3) The music, from Musics or from TuneIn "whimper" and lagging when the screen is off. Can I fix it? Maybe changing the Screen's Off CPU core. I dunno what is better for the battery. Thank you!!! :good:

Playback/music jitter with screenlocked

(3) The music, from Musics or from TuneIn "whimper" and lagging when the screen is off. Can I fix it? Maybe changing the Screen's Off CPU core. I dunno what is better for the battery. Thank you!!! :good:

Hi

Is there any solution yet for the problem thor described? I have the same issue i tried using deezer, soundcloud, rdio even the stock music player, but as soon as i switch the screen off it starts to jitter making it unbearable to listen to music. Please if anyone has a solution let us know how to fix this.

Thanks in advance. :good:

Hi guys. Installed this Rom yesterday and liking it so far. However, I have an issue. I can't get into recovery mode any more. I wanted to flash the scrap book fix and perform a nandroid back up to keep for safety.

Every time I try to log in it says it's protected due to a reactivation lock. I found a setting for that in security but there is no tick in the box and when I try to put one in it asks for my Samsung password which it accepts but still does not put a tick in the box. So I have no tick yet I still can't access twrp.

Any advice please?

    Latest ONLINE : ver. 2.5 / (17 June 2014)

    Guys,

    I am pleased to make this Discussion thread of X-NOTE Galaxy S5 Ported ROM.

    We have done enough discussion about The ROM in DEV thread which is suppose to be made for Dev discussion only.

    Feel free to discuss about the X-NOTE S5 Ported ROM, BUT Please Don't Spam in this thread.

    Read the FAQ (at the 2nd post) and/or use search function first on this thread or on the ROM thread, before you guys ask anything. Quite a lot questions are basically answered already on the ROM OP, and the Q&A thread.


    Disclaimer :
    Devs of this Rom are NOT responsible for any damage to your device.
    The installation of the ROM is at your own risk.
    However, the flash procedure is always performed
    at least three times with a day of testing.

    7- Done.

    Special Notes on v.2.5 :
    1. For Call recording , Press stop in the dialer before you finish your call or the recording will keep on recording .
    2. Set Pin/Pattern Lock then Set to Lock immediately or under 15secs

    FAQ'S

    Q.Can I use this rom on tmo/Canadian variants?
    A.This rom is made for the N9005, @fahadali2315 doesn't support other variants, He ONLY supports the N9005. However a user made a fix to get the things that work by default to work on tmo/Canadian variants. Read the "How to get N9005 roms to work on N900T(Tmo) & N900W8(Canadian) Variants" guide for step by step instructions BUT use the fix that i am linking below.
    Hey guys, I made a zip to fix Wifi, NFC, & BT for N900t and possibly other variants (untested).
    You can find it here.
    Maybe add to OP so we can remove N9005 Only ;)

    Q.How do I get secured lock screen to this work?
    A.
    Put # in front of security. mdpp=none in build prop. Report if that works...

    Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

    Q.How do you get the white background for pen window?
    A.
    Go to X Note Control -> X Note Updates -> Rom Update 1 -> Updates -> and flash Update 5

    Sent from my SM-G900F using XDA Free mobile app

    Q.Why does the installation fail when I try flashing this rom?
    A2.Use latest philz recovery (recommended at ROM thread OP), other recoveries might not be able to flash this rom.
    A2. v2.5 comes with Aroma Installer, I personally choose Chenglu CWM as it will handle Aroma better.

    Q.Why is deep sleep not working?
    A1. Deep sleep only works with the 2 NE6 kernels, 1 that comes with the rom and other that @fahadali2315 posted.
    A2. Latest updated / tested : Aurora kernel is a good match to this X-Note S5 Ported ROM. Thanks @MojoManagement for the good kernel :)

    Q.Can I use s5 kernels?
    A.You can but they break the camera. So better to use n9005/n900t kernels instead.

    Q.Why is sview not working?

    A1.
    ... Copy it manually and replace it with the old one in the system/app.
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/v9ion1nu2vq8vf1/SViewCoverService.apk
    Reboot and enjoy. ?
    Sent from my SM-G900F using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
    A2. Sview is working on v2.5. If you use custom DPI, you will need to set the DPI for sviewcover to 480 with Xposed app setting module, save, and reboot your device.


    Q.Why do I get "file not found" when I click on live wallpapers?
    A.Live wallpapers are not included.

    Q.My wifi is not working?
    A1.Wait about a minute or so on setupwixard and it will turn on.
    A2.Flash a different kernel.
    A3. On v.2.3 & up, WiFi is working perfectly :)

    Q.My mobile data doesnt work?
    A1.Set APN from your provider manually.
    A2. If A1 can't fix your device, try to go the APN, change the bearer to LTE, and then Save. Your mobile data should be working.
    A3. If A1 & A2 still can't fix your device mobile data, your last resort is to flash FIX for National Roaming. Thanks to @Mroczny3 for the fix.

    Q.I can't seem to enable recent apps?
    A.Use gravitybox xposed/ Navigations Keys Actions set anyone u like to show Recent apps. (Task Switcher)

    Q.I modified dpi and now my sview is messed up, what should I do?
    A.Use app settings xposed module and set sview dpi to 480.

    Q.I have HealthService Error popup?

    Q.XTransformer doesn't reboot in this port?
    A.Just Set your dpi, and click on reboot button wait until it shows reboot in the TOAST. Then Reboot your phone from PowerMenu manually.

    Q.Xnote App doesnt auto Reboot?

    SYSTEMATIC INSTRUCTIONS SPECIFICALLY FOR X-NOTE ROMS
    GUIDE WRITTEN BY @nicholaschum

    UNIVERSAL INSTRUCTIONS ARE LOCATED HERE

    1. Did you make sure your phone model meets the criteria?

    You CAN install N9005 ROMs on other variants, for example the N900T, N900W8,
    provided you get a patch specific to your device, however if they have their specific
    thread, N9005 ROMs DO NOT ALL SUPPORT IT.

    2. Did you check the MD5 Checksum of the X-Note ROM after you downloaded it?

    Open this spoiler for Mac Instructions!

    1. Open Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal (or open Spotlight, and search for Terminal)
    2. When Terminal is open, locate your directory where the file is downloaded, usually run this command: cd Downloads

    I already searched everything but this time I didn't understand what is the answer, then...

    Hi, using Xnote S5 ported on my sm-n9005 (hltexx) I have this values for AP, CP and CSC:
    AP: G900F XXU1A NC9
    CP: N9005 XXUE NA2
    CSC: G900F OLB1A NCD
    Then I tried to flash: G900F_NE2_MODEM.tar.md5 and G900F_NE2_BOOTLOADER.tar.md5 provided by xnote's rom update 1 but i think I was bricking my phone with the bootloader :( :eek: while flashing I got secure check fail: modem/secure check fail: bootloader and nothing has been flashed. Now my questions are:
    1) Does CSC needs to be compatible with AP or needs to be the same?
    2) Is G900F CSC compatible (it doesn't make problems) with N9005's one?
    3) G900F CP (modem) isn't compatible with n9005 one, is it?
    4) Should I search an OXA (European) or ITV (Italian, in my case) CSC for my N9005?
    5) Where can I check my bootloader version?
    6) I would like to update my bootloader but I think that g900f one will (soft or hard?) birck my phone (please don't ask me why I tried it before :p ), and newest n9005 will cause problems with knox/downgrade or firmware changes, won't they?

    Please help me! Normally I'm an expert on modding (with the works of others :p :p ) but this questions are really driving me crazy...

    1. No, I have everything different and my phone works fine.
    2/3. No, DON'T FLASH S5 STUFF ON NOTE 3.
    4. Try BUT, it works best for most.
    5. Use samsung phone info app, it can be found on play store.
    6. Refer to answer 2/3.




    Will the next update have screen mirroring work ?! :)

    Sent from my SM-N9005

    That feature only works on stock kernel and since next update will have stock kernel it should work. Unless if it's broken and doesn't work on stock either, have read anyone report that they tried it in stock kernel so we will see..

    Due to the lack of mods, trolls can ruin the XDA forum's. Don't feed them...Instead report them.

    Can you pls check the contact setting FC? S view cover not working. Dialer full screen caller picture half shown on screen. Contact list is misaligned. Call from contact list shown in wrong position. I am using 289 dpi. Pls check.

    Those are known bugs and since this is a port it's bound to have bugs. With time hopefully these bugs will be fixed and this rom will become even better..


    Hardly the battery life is 5 to 6 hours. But the look and interface is awesome.
    Thanks to all for making such ROM a reality.

    Battery life is bearable, should get better with time...
