[Rom][4.4.4][Team D.I.R.T] Dirty Unicorns v8.1 (17/10/14)

[osd_daedalus]

After some hours, all goes well.
No freezes but I have got various slowdowns, like "almost freezes" especially while using Chrome and turning wifi on.
Logcat attached, since there are a lot of /E messages...

The slowdown/freeze should be related to those Coreographer messages about skipped frames. But why?

update: latest slowdown ended in a soft reboot.

10/27 is a good one. No flushes . Color Echanger still off.

 

[Messatsu]

For information, I've never turned Dynamic Color Changer on but I got some freeze & soft reboots too.

Recovery problem

hello,

I'll start by congratulating all the work done on this ROM.
I have a problem with my install on my GT-N7000 (Galaxy Note 1).

I prepare my smartphone (all cleaned partition) and install this ROM (DU_n7000_4.4.4_20141017-0840.v8.1-OFFICIAL) but also install this ROM TeamWin 2.8.0.0 or is inconsistent with the (Galaxy Note (International)) except
-TWRP For Samsung Galaxy Note 1 (Att quincyatt) [SGH-I717]
-TWRP For Samsung Galaxy Note 1 (T-Mobile quincytmo) [SGH-T879]
So, it replaces my recovery "CWM" by current "TWRP".
Therefore, I can not see my internal card !!!!!

So I reinstalled my old recovery and after reboot I have no network "3G and Wifi !!!!!!" but I see my internal card.

Thanking you and sorry for my english!
Julien

Driving mode

Hello I use this great rom on my gt-n7000 and I enabled driving mode in settings but how can I launch it, there is no icon

Thanks

 

[osd_daedalus]

Hmm...

Dirtyflashed from the previous one, now the freezes while texting on whatsapp returned
The first time I had to hard reboot. The second time it unfrozen itself ("at eye" looks like with a SystemUI reboot)
For the latter, there is a logcat attached.

Hi Julien, and welcome to the Dirty Unicorns build for N7000.
The best KitKat build for our device in my opinion.

Sounds like you went a bit far with your initial flashing.
You don't need to flash a separate Recovery ZIP like TeamWin TWRP after flashing the ROM.
The Kernel in the DU ROM has TWRP.
All custom ROMs have a Kernel and Recovery (CWM or TWRP) built in.
One thing you do have to bear in mind is the limited support for NTFS and ExFAT in TWRP.
If your internal or external storage is formatted with NTFS or ExFAT you may have problems reading them in TWRP.

UPDATE: You're right about SGH-I717 and SGH-T879 Roms, Kernels, etc. not being compatible with the international N7000.
Flash them at your peril.
They may partially work as there is some common hardware between the devices, but they are unlikely to be fully functional and might trash your N7000 device.

If I were you, I would clean flash with only DU ROM and GAPPS (if you want Google Services such as the Play Store).
Then you are back to a clean build.
Clean Flash = Full Wipe = Factory reset (and wipe certain partitions if you want to)

Alternatively, you could dirty flash the DU ROM over what you have, and see if that solves your problems.
If it doesn't then clean flash.
Dirty Flash = Flash ROM without wiping any partitions (other than Cache and Dalvik Cache if you want to - recommended).

For Google Apps (GAPPS), I would recommend jajb's awesome Minimal GAPPS.

I haven't retro-fitted CWM to this ROM so I don't know if it plays nice with the kernel and the ROM.
I did think of it when I first started using the ROM as I had been using CWM for a long time and wasn't comfortable with the TWRP interface initially.
Now I've used TWRP for a good few months I really like it.
By the way, the TWRP in the kernel works fine for me as all my storage is formatted with the default file system.

Doing a clean flash should solve your issues.

ART?

At the current state of "art", has anyone tried ART?
When I tried it on 7.8, I had SystemUI FC loop and I had to restore Dalvik. Is ART working now?

I started the install a recovery "philz_touch_6.48.4-n7000.zip" then I I rebooted into recovery mode and did a clean wipe, davilk cache, install for new ROM.
Then I installed ROM "DU_n7000_4.4.4_20141017-0840.v8.1-OFFICIAL.zip"
Finally, finally, after I installed the ROM Googlle Apps "pa_gapps-stock-4.4.4-20141025-signed.zip"
The smartphone has restarted perfectly.

However, I lost my recovery philz !!!! she was replaced by TeamWin I do not like and I install my recovery philz I over 3G, 2G and even WIFI network.

That's the problem.

On the internal memory, it was formatted in NTFS and I just format it EXT4 and it works now.

thank you

I wouldn't bother with PhilZ or CWM to be honest they are both dead projects.
Phil3759 has closed the PhilZ project and recommended using TWRP, see his master thread here.

Give TWRP a chance, it is actually very good once you get used to it.
I think you can change the skin too, but I haven't bothered.
One thing to be aware of is that TWRP is not compatible with CWM backups, and vice versa.
So keep a CWM kernel on your storage if you may need to flash a backup of a ROM you took with CWM.

I had the idea to use art, hopping will go a bit faster, but actually it went much slower..
So i reverted back.

Documents crashing

Have wiped everything in sight with the exception of my removable SD card and no joy.

Another problem apart from the blocklist is Documents crashes if I touch a file with in it.

I attach a debug level logcat - it has lots of errors reported in it I don't know why.

Thanks

In your logcat there is a reference about a fatal exception of AndroidRuntime regarding Documents.
Perhaps are you using ART instead of Dalvik? If yes, have you tried to revert to Dalvik?

(Although I fail to see why the incriminated process is called AndroidRuntime instead of "art" and there are various dalvikvm references here and there)
