Fresh test build is up at the DU G+ community.
Arrrggg... just when I was going to say "I did nothing and I have not FC/freezes since one day"...
Let's get through it... FLASH!

Wae that logcat I sent useful for something? I'm ready to disassemble my phone to understand why all of these freezes!

Hmm... just dirty flashed...

Looks like all of apps which were moved in external SD card now are not recognized like SD is not recognized (in my case, formatted in exFAT).
Although, in Settings/Memory it is recognized, and accessible via file explorers such as ES, Root browser...
Already purged cache/dalvik.

Any confirmations about?

edit: on a side note, phone has become faster and smoother... I'm formatting the external SD again in Fat32.
Let's see...

result: neither in FAT32 apps on external SD are read. Looks like is not either possible to move an app to external SD (I can't see the option). On TitaniumBackup they appear as uninstalled and the option "move apps in the internal memory" now brings 0 as counter.

Hi @chasmodo,

Thanks for your continued support and efforts, at bringing us feature rich builds to our aging device...

The other day I asked where the "CallRecordings" were being saved too, as couldnt see any GUI / Popups stating where the recordings were going too. I managed to find them myself in the end anyway.

Although I noticed this latest build, going via the Gerrit statements, say there is a method to view / play your recordings via going to Call History, and selecting from there... I am not seeing this, am I doing something wrong...??

Many thanks, Lister

I would like to just let you know that exFAT was giving me problems as the SD card wouldn't mount but FAT32 fixed that.
As for the moving to SD I havent tried that so I cannot comment on it

uuuhhh..

I swear I did NOTHING, I have neither updated an app.. and after 2 days and a couple of soft reboots, apps from external sd are recognized again!

At 8.1 release, I'll do a clean flash. Promised!

Soft reboots are still on the current build. Log attached
I believe you forgot the attachment...
Come on buddy, we need that log! ;)

I wish to know who blessed your phone :p:p:p:p

Seriously, this makes me think FC/reboots/freezes are not an issue directly ROM related, but something app related OR "app in external sd card" related OR a setting not used by you...

We need more logcats...

Waiting for 8.1, I'll try the Minimal GApp with specific DPI too (I kept 320 DPI)

8.1 is up. Not sure if its final or maybe chas is still fixing the first post. Downloading atm. I also had some random reboots on build 14 and 16. They are test builds anyways.

I don't have any apps on the SD Card.
The sometimes choppy music play from SD Card leads me to believe that apps on the SD Card may be adversely affected, so all my apps are on the internal storage.

To be honest, I haven't noticed any real difference between the Universal and specific DPI Minimal Gapps, it's simply a smaller (read quicker) download for me.

Maybe it's my chipset.
There are three different chipsets in the N7000, from what I remember back in the day of testing overclock kernels on deodexed custom stock roms.
The max I got out of my device was 1766MHz, some of the other chipsets only managed 1500MHz before the device became unstable through overheating.
So it could be a heat problem.
When I played around with different governors and schedulers recently, it was to reduce the temperature under load as this seemed to cause my freezes and reboots while playing Mines Of Mars.
I honestly don't get the reboots etc. that others seem to experience.
Maybe it's rebooting in my pocket without my knowledge, but not while I'm using the device.

I haven't got any logcats, but how about some chipmunks.....................


Seems Legit.............

When my phone freezes I have no overheating so I don't think that's the issue.
I will try to keep all of apps in internal memory and see how it goes.

Btw... clean flashed and looks like much fluid and stable. I'll run for a week this way then I start moving apps to SD. Then, if that is the issue, I'm going to format the SD card to link apps with link2sd... and see how it goes ;)

Is anyone using phone with this rom in car? Cant get my car mode app to work (Ultimate Car Dock). Everytime I press home button i get back to nova launcher instead of the car app. Anyone know how to get it to work or mb a different car app that works?
In UCD go to the Settings and select Enable Car Mode, this may help.
Tried that one already. Sadly it didnt help, always getting back to nova launcher.
