How did you get the font rendering issue fixed? Got a build booting on Sprint Galaxy Note 2 but getting the font artifacting. Thanks.

Wifi fix also if you dont mind sharing? lol

I can not get it to build what so ever for the the T-Mobile SGH-T889. Do you have a git hub set up so I can take a look at your device tree?

Good news guys I finally got it to build and spit me out a zip file. I have not yet flashed it to my device so I do not know if it even boots just yet. But it is built with the t0lte device tree so it should be ok to flash to the GT-N7105 and the SGH-I317. Here is a link to my git hub for anyone that is trying to build for those devices or the SGH-T889.

Yea I tried rolling back the malibdrivers and just got a black screen. I will try loading the WiFi module the way you did though. Thanks.

it can happens if driver and user space has different versions
important thing, if you use old mali driver, you should use also old user space libs,
easiest way is to flash CM nightly with old driver and user space (cm nightly before 22.02) and then call ./extract-files.sh

Yea I did that. Rolled it back for props and in the kernel. I'll mess with it more though later.

I tried to use your github but it tells me error and can't find revision... I use "phablet-10.1"....
if its something different, let us know.

Sorry for the late response here. I jus now saw your post. Try re cloning from my git hub. I did not push my final changes to my get hub until late last night. Here is a link to it to my repositories just in case you were using the wrong one cause I do not have "phablet-10.1" in the name of any of my repositories.

I am new to github and this is my first time trying to learn how to port ROM's or different OSes. It asked me for revision and since "phablet-10.1" didn't work, I used the branch name "cm-10.1" and it worked fine.

Ok cool glad it worked for you. I will be updating my thread a little later on with a more complete run down of what I had to do to get it to build. I just got through adding all the missing lib files and it is very close to booting now. It shows the Samsung Galaxy Note II splash screen and then the splash screen drops out plus logcat looks a lot better now. I added a total of 96 lib files to the build, some may actually not be needed but i am just focused on getting it booted for now. i can go back and pull them later.

sounds good to me. For some reasons, it doesn't want to finish the built for me. Give the error that it waits for unfinished jobs.

I do not want our conversation to high jack this thread so please come post a complete copy of the error you have or a pastebin of f it in my thread. The waiting on unfinished jobs is pretty much just telling you it has stopped building. You need to go back up in the log and look for the error that caused it.

Also I just updated my thread.
