[ROM][CM12.1][Lollipop][Android 5.1.1] NightOwl 20180124

[bauner]

I can confirm this offline charging icon's small issue with TWRP recovery/kernel, nothing really important.
Ah, at first recovery access, TWRP asked me to turn system readable-only. I ofc refused and everything goes fine, just to let you apart of

Edit: @bauner: I saw some G+ users talking about StreetView or Sygic Dashcam: both are working fine for me, with latest build and TWRP kernel

I can't test Sygic Dashcam but streetviw is also crashing for me.
Which gapps do you use?

 

[SoulSlayer69]

TK Gapps Nano for me.
If you want to test Sygic with or without dashcam, I'm sending a pm to you

@bauner,

here is the logcat file from the 30-10 ROM with xposed V75, that gave to much trouble/problems for me.
reverted back to the 03-10 kernel/ROM with xposed V74. this is working great/fine for me @ the moment.

perhaps you can find the problem within those files (2 files attached in zip).

Which install instruction when on 4.3.1?

Hi!

There are install instructions for Kitkat 4.4 ROM, stock samsung ROM and ealier NightOwl ROM. I currently run 4.3.1 (CyanogenMod 10.2). Which instruction should I then follow?

Thanks in advance!
Wojciech

Your logs are full with this error
11-05 23:32:19.395 2241 2241 W System.err: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'android.content.pm.PackageManager android.content.Context.getPackageManager()' on a null object reference
Which I have not seen before.
I will take a deeper look into it tomorrow

1 Download and copy the 20151030 kernel + 20151030 rom + gapps to your sdcard
2 Boot into recovery
3 factory reset + format /system
4 flash the kernel zip to update your recovery
5 reboot the recovery to boot into the updated recovery
6 flash rom + gapps
7 reboot

the mentioned below application is not working anymore on the 1030 , while it worked perfectly since the 0913 and the 1004 version

what is CM changing that is causing such issue, can this be figured out ? using log or something ?

Using the latest test rom I can confirm that it is much smoother than 0913
I use a local application for traffic here in Egypt which used to take around 15 minutes to start on the last two rooms, now it is working perfectly like it used to be on August rom

You can try if flashing the selinux permissive kernel will make a difference.
If this will not help you can try it the 20151003 kernel will make a difference.

Please let me know if one of this will help

Did you install supersu from playstore or did you flash the recovery version?
If you have supersu from the playstore please try the steps from
How to enable root:
from the first post
Then open supersu and let it update the su binary

Root enabled from developer options. I choose adb and apps. And ı installed chainsfire's supersu from playstore. Then opened it. Nothing happens only black screen. Says stopped working. Am i doing something wrog. Thanks

hey bauner,
could you implement this patch from Russel King to the kernel? --> https://marc.info/?l=linux-arm-kernel&m=144051749807214&w=2

You also can't open supersu?

Then you can try to uninstall the supersu app.
And try to flash this https://download.chainfire.eu/696/supersu/ supersu zip in the recovery

Currently I will stop adding more patches to the kernel to test if the current version will run stable.

This patch is also currently not merged in the mainline kernel and it would also need some other patches before

Hi Bauner, I have some issues. Besides the Facebook updating, which seems to be impossible in 1030, causing reboots, I'm having troubles when I close apps, such as wikipedia, or firefox and go back to Google search. It appears to freeze, and the phone asks to wait or call. Sometimes trebuchet acts the same.
But these are minor issues, becausethe real problem is that sometimes the phone doesn't ring at all. Remember when I told that the personal tone doesn't work? Well, it happens with this rom too, but sometimes I miss calls because the phone doesn't sound... This happens almost everytime I'm using another app, or playing Ruzzle, for example. But sometimes without reason, in my opinion.
Don't know why...
In any case, your work is great, and it's the very first time i'm experiencing major issues, so I'm looking forward next release!

Will other apps that need root work without problems?
Have you tried to uninstall triangle away and install it again?

I don't had facebook installed on my n7000. But I could install it without any problem right now.
Can you try to set a higher display timeout to prevent the device from going to standby while you try to update facebook?

Will the update cause a full reboot (starting with the n7000 logo) or a soft reboot (starting with the nightowl bootanimation)?
If it will do a full reboot please post the file /proc/last_kmsg after your device is up again after the reboot.

You can also use this app to ensure that your emmc chip is ok
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.vinagre.android.emmc_check

I also never had the other problems you wrote about.

If you can't fix your problem you can try if it will work after a clean install

(LOL I was wrong about NightOwl recovery, it's Philz!)

Yeah, I know Gapps are flashed properly even with philz, I'm really really happy about how N7000+NightOwl works, but I feel TWRP easier to use and with some extra feature: file manager, multiple zip file flash, wipe button after flash, large buttons interface, OTG support, file transfer even when in bootloop with ADB sideload (easy to use). You know those feature better than me for sure, maybe they are not so usefull for a pro-dev like you are, because you know how to adb push, scripting and more and more, but those TWRP features make it really user friendly if compared to other recovery :fingers-crossed:

One more thing: you mentioned time ago you don't have a bluetooth headset to test with, can I buy one for you (I know some cheap ones -working fine- on Amazon I can afford) or do you prefer donation? I would be pleased to payback for your epic work. If you are fine with this, send me a shipment address on PM, otherwise, I will go for paypal

I have now bought a cheap bluetooth headset.

I have no problems with it. I can listen to music and in calls it is also working without problems with the 20151030 rom

They are soft reboots. I usually wiped Play Store cache, closed any open app, put the display timeout to half an hour and restarted the phone. It worked with the previous rom, not with this one.
emmc chip is Not ok, I'm afraid... YES Insane chip. So? I really don't know what this means, the phone could brick any moment?
Is there a way to prevent it?
And, if I do a clean install, is there a way to recover datas?
Thank you for your quick and kind answer!

Is triangle away listed in supersu as allowed app?
Are you using the 20151030 rom with the default kernel?

The last thing you can try is to uninstall triangle away.
Then open the file manager and enable root access mode in settings-general settings-access mode.
Then go to /storage/sdcard0 and delete the file .eu.chainfire.trangleaway.flashkernel.n7000 if it will exist.

Then install triangle away again

The insane chip message is normal for the n7000 and will only mean that some old (stock)android 4.0 kernel can damage the chip.

In the emmc check app you can click check memory.
If this will finish without freezing then your chip is ok.

For a clean install you can use the clean to install a new rom in the recovery and then install the rom and the gapps.
You don't need to format your sdcards.

But you need to reinstall all your apps.

There are also backup apps to backup and restore your apps and settings like titanum backup or mybackup. But If an app has caused your problems then it is possible that you will have it again if you have restored the backup.
For this backup apps you also need to install supersu first.

You can also use the backup function in the recovery to backup the complete rom before you do the clean install.
Then you can everytime restore your current rom
