Q&A

Installation:
You can run this rom on JB bootloader but you will have to install a older kernel from this thread to have full wifi working. but I will not support it
First time you install KitKat rom follow the instructions. After that there is no way back to JellyBean BOOTLOADER and your warranty is void as the KNOX is tripped in bootloader. You can still install JellyBean Rom compaired with JB kernel on the new bootloader

Download the rom from this thread for your device and place it on your Note8.0
Install the latest PhilzTouch recovery for your device (I'm running philz_touch_6.41.6-n5110).
Full WIPE if you install this rom for the first time.
Install the rom and reboot

Aircommand

Bugs with Aircommand:

Chrome won't work = you need to install Chrome beta
Activating reader mode will cause a reboot when opening a app that supports reader mod

Aircommand terminal command and tips:
Remember when installing the Aircommand that you will disable some features of your note.
Like some quick command options and Spen gestures.
Why this option:
That is the reason why I build in a command that makes it possible to disable Aircommand or enable it, this way you don't need to reinstall the rom to get rid of Aircommand, with this command you only need to reboot your tablet to enable/disable it.
When you disable the Aircommand all normal features of the Note8.0 will work for 95% again. Best is to reinstall the rom.

Open terminal emulator
su (enter) airoff (enter)
su (enter) airon (enter)

Tip to pop up the Aircommand :
Go to Xblasted modules - Statusbar - Gestures and select a gesture to pop-up the Aircommand trigger app.
I did long press in statusbar. Now you can open the Aircommand in any app by long presing the statusbar area

If you are looking for the Spen window manager only (no aircommand) support I suggest you install this app (best but you need to pay for it) or this , it can only makes pen window short cuts. where the paid app allows much more options .
With one of these apps you don't need Aircommand to have the pen windows.

Stock battery or change battery icon
Use the 3minit battery app to select your favorite battery icon, the stock kk icon can be found in one of the online download sections of the app.

Kernel Q&A
Note on CIFS:
Example on what you enter, but your IP and share, if that wasn't clear. The option section is very important

Note on NTFS
You need to use Paragon!
You need to set your mount point yourself.
Example and recommended is:

Code:

 /mnt/extSdCard/paragon

Miracast/Allshare support
If it doesn't work install Triangle away from the playstore and reset your counter and select the reset at reboot.
The custom kernel support it, I tested it and I have no problems.
Black screen with miracast= ask your miracast device (TV or player) manufactor to solve it, this is not a kernel rom problem.

Looking forward to this new kernel.

Thanks for your ongoing support of the Note 8.0. :good:

Will GT-N5100 continue ?

I don't want to hound you but I just wanted to ask if you'll be adapting the kernel for the 5120. I just don't want to get my hopes up

Don't blame you. It's running like butter on my 5110. But then again so have all Civato's roms.. I really hope all of you get a chance to run it..

Yes the 5100 and 5120 will get support but as I'm building the kernel for every device separate from the official source for your device I have to do it 3 times. 5110/5100/5120.
The older kernel was all based on one source but as I want it to be bug free and smooth I want to make a clean start for every device.
Patience as I don't have much time.

Smoothness and stability is the reason why not every special feature is in the new kernel. I tested it a long time and it is compiled now in release mode. Meaning all debugging stuff is removed so the footprint is as small as possible.

I hope this answers your questions and that you are not forgotten.

Chromecast casting!

I can confirm that Chromecast casting works with the 3.0 ROM and the Mirror Enabler app. :good:

Miracast connects to my dongle, which it didn't before, but the image doesn't appear on the remote screen. I believe that's the fault of the cheap dongle I bought but it would be great if someone with a reliable Miracast device can confirm that.

I've flashed many times since I last ran Triangle Away but didn't have to run it to get Chromecast casting working with this ROM.

Coming from Flexnote kk Rev.2.1 do I need to wipe for the new version?
Btw, thanks for your great work. I just discovered and flashed Flexnote kk last week and it is working very well ��

Edit: I am aware of your instructions to wipe if installing the ROM for the first time but I was wondering whether Rev 2.1 is considered the same ROM and is therefore updateable to the new version or not. Tx

Edit 2: OK, I might not be the smartest peg, but I think I finally got it: ~~by wiping and flashing the Rev 3 we are also flashing the recommended KK bootloader~~ which is needed to run the new kernel included in the ROM. I was wrong! We need to flash the kitkat bootloader separately through Odin. Find instructions and links to the bootloader files here and here

I did it per instructions in Q&A post and all I can say is - WOW! The wipe was totally worth it. Haven't tried all the features as I don't need them (Miracast/Allshare cast/Google chromecast, Air Commands) but all the basic stuff, S pen included, works, flies! The UI and scrolling are very fast and much smoother then in Rev 2.1 which I thought was great as it was. Embedded YouTube also works now. Your beer is on its way!

It is possible bu don't complain if wifi or some other stuff don't work. And for this rom/kernel you need to be on KK bootloader.

See if it is the same with stock kernel, my guess is it will.

Thanks civato. I'm sure this is another excellent build. Will be flashing it soon. :highfive:

In previous testing with the stock ROM it would connect and then drop the connection almost immediately, which is why I think the problem is with the dongle. With this ROM it connects and stays connected but no image appears on the screen.

I'm planning to pick up this dongle once it is released. That manufacturer has support forums and frequent firmware updates so I'm hoping to have better luck with that.

I am one of the many that enjoyed the plethora of battery icons to choose from in your last build so I think I'm going to stick with the last update. I followed the link in the OP and the instructions on how to obtain what i had before was a little over my head. We all appreciate your time and effort that was put into this awsome rom and kernel. Thank you again.

Civato, thanks for your best and always great work ! :angel:

thanks a lot
