@bauner

After many days of using beta7 i noted an improvement of battery life

But... I Also have many freezes and lags...

I think this is, in my experience, common issues in all Rom i tried also after a perfect clean installation with format system, sdcard0, cache ecc

Maybe is something happens after many app updates and a bit of using time

In the last days I did many tests to find the optimal values for the low memory killer for the next version...

 

[bauner]

i have installed this rom right now. but i got no cell signal. please help me. thanks

Which rom did you use before? In which country you are and what baseband version you have.
Can you see the sim pin screen?

 

[dave999]

do you install the fix from post 1 ?
yes a camera is a bit fuzzy, but we hope to solve in next beta.

yes installed keyboard fix up and working thanks a ton
just a request.. as i was familiar with slide right to sms and slide left to call on 4.1 build made life easier is there anything you can do to work on this 5.02build ..

@bauner why every time I flash the ROM overwrite my recovery philz with regular cwm? Thanx

For the random reboots for some users you can try to set the cpu min from 100 to 200mhz.
If that will not work you can try to use forest or raw kernel.
And please give me some feedback if this will solve your reboots

You asked for feedback, so I'll mention that I have been using the Raw-kernel all this time and it defaults to 200Mhz minimum speed. I have not had a single unexpected reboot or phone powering off by itself. Might be worth increasing the default on your kernel, just to be safe, no?

because the recovery is an part of the kernel

I´m having some Battery issue´s while listening to musik.

after listening to some musik for 40 minutes i lose like 30-40%battery,this forced me to use airplane mode quite often....

But the rom Seems pretty stable only reboot i had was while surfing on tumblr(in browser) with a lot of pictures and Gif´s.


By the way did you increase the Voltage of the Cpu?


I´m gonna give the raw kernel a shot now until the next beta.

 

[paul42x]

I'm using a bauner kernel that goes from 100-1600 with carbon rom (4.4.4) no prob. It also seemed to really boost bat life but I mostly use my phone as a phone, so a lot of time will be spent @ 100.

I also think that kernel uses different voltages maybe something to think about with the bauner kernel for this rom? Rather than 100 been the prob?

Aaa, ok, I misunderstood.

Camera !!!!

because the recovery is an part of the kernel

the camera quality is not as high as it used to be in the Samsung's stock rom.
is there any solution to improve the quality of camera?

 

[emanuelmoris]

Hi @bauner, dont know why but since beta 7 my phone have random freeze, while hearing music, watching videos, etc

Hi @bauner, dont know why but since beta 7 my phone have random freeze, while hearing music, watching videos, etc

Same here. I've been using this ROM since BETA3 and had no such problems. But now the battery drain is horrible and the phone is constantly freezing, practically can't get anything done. Eagerly waiting for an improved update, let's hope that everything gets back to normal

Because the kernel in this rom use cwm recovery , it will flash cwm recovery when you install this rom.

of course it is, TW camera has a better processing algorithm than current CM camera, use other camera app simply...

 

[TitoKacka]

Hi,
I have a problem with the BETA7. Sometimes my note gets very hot even if i don't use it. In this case the CPU frequency is the whole time on 1400 MHz. It seems a process "system_servers" is draining the whole cpu and causing this mess.
The previous BETAs worked just fine.
Can somebody help me please?

Now I have installed raw kernel and everything works fine.

Enlarging the /data partition on N7000

At the time I was using OmniROM so I backed up by existing install using twrp
I used the partitioning steps in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2642299
As TWRP doesnt offer as an extensive amount of partitions to format I chose this recovery and kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
As far as formatting was concerned i chose the defaults and formatted every available partition except the external SD card
To get back to where I wanted to be I then did a basic install of OmniROM again and just rebooted back into recovery, giving me TWRP again which I then used to restore my backup
I went for a 6GB partition leaving me with a 7GB internal partition. So far have managed to fill about half the internal data partition with a further 1GB of app data stored on the internal SD
The longest part was the waiting on the backup and restores
I would not say it was a painful process, I actually quite enjoyed it, but then I like to fiddle.
When I came to install Nightowl I had NONE of the issues other people reported due to there being insufficient space for apps

Many thanks again for your help. Today I have finally succeeded in repartitioning the internal SD card, but I had to overcome a lot of obstacles. In particular Odin recognized the device but couldn't connect to it after hitting the start button, and it took me about 10 attempts until I finally succeeded. Don't me ask why Odin suddenly gave up its resistance.

Usually that is a problem with either the cable or the USB port on your computer. I have 4 usb ports on mine and sometimes (maybe 40%of the time) 1 port will refuse to work. When that happens I quit Odin, disconnect phone restart Odin connect via a different port and it usually works. If it still doesn't a reboot of both devices usually fixes

Both low voltages and low clockspeeds can cause exactly the kinds of issues people have had here. Not every single SoC is exactly the same, with some of them underclocking more than others and some overclocking more than others, just like desktop CPUs. I don't know for certain if that is the issue here, but it certainly could be.
