I've recently installed AOKP(Jellybean 4.2.2) Task650 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1808015) and the basic install seemed to go very well. I came from stock 4.0.4 (rooted) and for the record I'm using Recovery 6.0.3.0 and I did a full wipe including format system, data, cache, dalvik etc. I installed the new gapps after the ROM, and later restored apps using Titanium.
I have a few issues I can't quite sort out though, and I'm not sure if they are JB, Nova or AOKP related so I thought I'd start a new thread.
1) Lockscreen doesn't appear. At all. When I wake the tablet up, it just comes straight back on to the previously used screen. I've checked all the standard Security settings (unlock mode set to slide or pattern, lock on power button, etc) and also the fancier AOKP ones, but whatever I do the lockscreen just does not appear. I've re-cleared cache and dalvik.
2) Notifications are not showing in the Notifications area. I can see the AOKP 'Toggles' icons/tiles for wi-fi, bluetooth, GPS, etc; the clock; the battery level; the wi-fi SSID, etc - but no general Notifications at all (e.g. list of any updated apps, any download statuses, Poweramp mini controls, new emails/facebook messages, Samba active display, etc).
When these various notification are issued, I do see them appear briefly in the lower-right corner in a grey rectangular box which covers the clock/battery area of the status bar (so the notifications do appear to be triggering) but as soon as that brief message disappears, I can't see any of the notifications within the pop-up notifications area where they should be.
Does anyone familiar with JB, AOKP or this particular ROM have any suggestions, as I'm as a loss at the moment?

Ah, no-one with any ideas of where these issues might be coming from then?
I might have to try another full-wipe install, and if that fails just go back to stock 4.0.4 until (if ever) Samsung releases a JB update for the original 10.1 tab.

I'm not familiar with that rom, but there are a few things you can try.
1. Try posting in the development thread, it might be a known issue that has a quick fix.
2. If you really want to stick with that rom try the full wipe again. But since you already started with one I don't know if it will fix the problems.
3. If you want to stay with jb I would recommend Aopk build 6 by djmatt604. It runs smoothly and the dev is pretty active.
Hope this helps even a little.

Many thanks for the reply. I have searched and asked in the dev's thread, but I get the very clear impression that if it works on his hardware and no one else has the same problem, his opinion is that it's 100% up to me to sort it out - which is entirely his prerogative, of course: his ROM, his thread, his rules.
Thanks for the recommendation of another AOPK option (I assume you mean [ROM][P7510][4.2.2][UNOFFICIAL] AOKP Build 6 :: MR1 :: Mar 29 Nightly). I think I might go down that route since, like you, I'm rather dubious that another full-wipe will be any different to the first one.

Yup that's the one. I'd recommend doing a full wipe on the first install to avoid issues. Let me know if you have any other questions.
I went with [ROM][KERNEL][RECOVERY][JB4.2]Infamous AOKP 1.4 (14-Apr-13) in the end, from the same dev you suggested. I added Nova as my launcher and it all works like a charm (well, after I recovered myself from a stupid near-brick when I decided to format the user sdcard in order to clear out any remaining junk from old installs; it cleared out a lot more than I wanted!!!)

Yeah, I usually just wipe data / Factory reset when doing a full wipe and then go in manually and clean out folders that I don't need to clear space. SD maid is a good app for clearing unused space too.

Yeah, I'm normally the same but I thought I'd be nice and thorough for once and get rid of any remaining legacy ICS stuff which some JB updates shove into hidden folders when you upgrade. In hindsight, I shouldn't have bothered.
Still, at least when I finally did get the system recovered enough to install the new ROM, the free space was amazing!

I think the problem may have been with something that Titanium Backup restored from my previous setup, but I never found out what. I had to do a factory reset to clear it in the end (although not a full ROM reinstall).
As I'd already gone that far though, rather than risking re-installing apps again I actually chose another ROM anyway - Infamous (see above) - which I'm very happy with, and the devs there seem much happier to talk to you in general. Just my observation anyway, your experiences could well be quite different of course.

this is pure stock deodexed nothing removed, and has adb as root. also doesnt have any mods
thank you for posting this here! :good:
Many thanks!
Thanks for this! Works great, feels more fluid... Except doesn't seem to fix the touchscreen deadzones that occur intermittently (but of course that's for Samsung to take care of)
How this update should be installed? Adb?
Edit. Sorry, never mind, this is for N5100 but I have N5100. Waiting for new version for my device.
I am interested in loading this rom on my wife's tablet. I have been flashing rom's on my Motorola Phones for years now and am very comfortable doing so, but a real Novice when it comes to Samsung.
I am on 4.1.2, insecure loader. I have tried both CWM and TWRP recoveries and can use either. I have also used Odin as well.
Question, do I need to wipe data first, and how do I load this rom onto a Samsung Device.
Sorry for the trouble, but I am a fast learner and will be on board soon (I hope)

Since this is an OS upgrade (4.1.2 to 4.2.2) a data wipe is highly suggested. Frankly, I would suggest wiping system, data, cache and dalvik just for good measure. If she wants to keep a lot of the apps' progress/settings she has, I would install Titanium Backup and back up all user apps first before doing anything. She may have everything synced with her Google account as I believe you can sync apps and their data through Google now, but I haven't tested it yet.
To install the ROM, you'd just need to put it somewhere locally on your tablet, I have a '000Flash' folder on the root of my internal SD storage for any ROMs/kernels/modems (on my phone), etc. Place it in there, then get yourself into recovery. Once in recovery, wipe everything I mentioned above, then go back to the install/flash option of whatever recovery you're using. Flash the .zip file you just downloaded and put locally on your tab. Wait a few minutes and boot her up!
Just make sure you have the right software for the right version tablet you have, N5110 vs N5100.

No problem, shouldn't be too different than what you're already used to, but I can understand the need for clarification when it comes to different devices as they're all a little bit different.
OK, on 4.2.2, no problems at all after I found how to turn debugging mode on. THAT IS STRANGE

Then tap the build number 7 times. As you are getting close to 7 taps, the screen will tell you how many more till you are in development.

Also you will need to have CWM or TWRP installed as a custom recovery for it to work. There are plenty of options for installing and the new versions that are non touch should fix any issues uyou had previously. Happy flashing!

I'm all rooted and running the ROM...
This ROM definitely needs a little TLC...
How about putting a list of requests together so maybe we have an Idea of what we can expect?
Here is a thread for customizing this ROM!!!
Here is a link to the Google Edition 4.3 Camera
This works I have it installed. and it is pretty sweet. (even on a 5mp Camera)
I installed xposed framework today and it works well on this ROM. Has anyone else tried this?
You can go here for other mods to add to it...
After you have the Xposed frame work installed you can install the app_settings see attachments, to modify the per app DPI settings.
example, you open up app settings go to gmail, set the dpi to 160 & screen (dp): 1000x1600
I did this for System settings as well and they look nice.
Play around with it and we can build on it...
You can find other mods that you can see if they work and build a list in a new thread. REMEMBER TO BACK UP FIRST!
Ge the disabler in attachments to flash in case you get into a boot loop. These work well since this is a stock ROM.
NottachXposed works very nicely for this ROM... You just have to play with it a little bit, but you can tweak it out nicely...
Don't forget to grab the Multi-Window Manager over in the Themes and app section. It works Great Without any flaws so far...!
If you need a 3-way reboot menu, here is an excellent app here for that...
Knock it Off Please
OK, please stop with all the "bad-mouthing" and "trolling" and... the "Off-Topic" posts. You know the rules, especially in the Dev Forum.
You wanna post garbage or talk about who's gonna do what, then go to the main Android "Off Topic" forum.
Thread cleaned. (please don't make me come back in here again)

Thanks for the deodexed, recovery flashable rom. I just flashed it and got everything set up. So far everything is running great.

Forgive me I am new to this, I just installed the OMNI Kitkat 4.4 rom (thanks to kasper) with no problems, I booted the rom, went back into recovery and installed the superuser program he suggests without a problem. Then I went to install the Gapps rom (Paranoid Android Stock GApps 4.4.2-20140201), It says 'Insufficient storage space available in system partition. You may want to use a smaller GApps (ie. Mini Modular Gapps)' so is this what I should do instead of the Full Modular GApps install?
file name: pa_gapps-stock-4.4.2-20140201-signed.zip
Thanks for any help, and big thanks to all dev's out there making it possible :good:
Yes. Use either the mini or micro package.

k thanks will do.
Another noob question, after installing kitkat 4.4 my tablet no longer shows up under devices on my computer. So how do I go about transferring the files for the micro GApps to my tablet for an install? debugging option is on, Odin doesn't show tablet either, am I missing something?
I seen another poster say "being a newb makes my brain hurt" lol I know where they are coming from.
Under the 'tips' section of kasper's thread, settings -> storage -> 3 dot menu -> tick MTP.

Thanks again you've been very helpful, I was in there looking and didn't notice the 3 dot menu. All set.
edit: or at least I thought I was, I transferred over the mini GApps file and when I go into CWM I go to install it does not show the file but it shows the previous files I had to install Omni kitkat 4.4, Superuser, and first GApps file (full). It's weird because when I go into the storage from my computer it does not show these files anymore just the mini GApps file. So I am again lost... lol along with my root access lol. I am getting error when rebooting from CWM 'Root access possibly lost. Fix?'
More reading and searching for me I guess.....I'll get it sooner or later, probably later lol
If anyone wants to give me a little push or maybe giant shove in the right direction I won't be offended
Also was wondering about the Kasper 'tips' section. I was reading through the ROM thread he has but didn't come across tip section yet. Any links to this?
I don't get it. What do you mean by it shows the previous files? When you go into cwm and then select which zip you want to flash, isn't that the case? Anyway, make a full wipe (system, data, cache, dalvik) and start fresh again.

Sorry for not being clear enough, What I mean is that when I go into CWM and go to install my .zip files It shows the files that I used to get this far (Omni kk 4.4 file, the SU file, and full GApps file), but it does not show the Mini Gapps file that I transferred to the storage of my tablet via desktop. When I go on my desktop and go into my tablet storage it shows the mini Gapps file but none of the original file that I used to get this far.
I think I may do a wipe and go to a Jelly bean rom instead for now, I like this kitkat version but has cpl little bugs and not as fluid as I would like yet and Im not experienced enough to help with that yet. I'm trying to out do my kobo arc 7HD tab with JB 4.1.1 stock so I can justify selling the kobo and keep the SGT 10.1, I like the clear screen on the kobo and jelly bean is great, but not near as much development for the kobo as the SGT. I've been told to try JB 4.2.2 and overclock to 1.5ghz so I should go that way first, kitkat 4.4 was just too tempting lol, actually it is more fluid or smooth now that I turned off the live background I had on.
Then I'd recommend you to go to 4.3. Its way better than 4.2.2. Also, you shouldn't overclock that high because its not very stable. The highest you should go is 1.4 GHz.

I transferred the first set while I was still in stock rooted condition using my desktop with the drag and drop (copy/paste) method/. The second gapps mini I tried when I had rom kitkat 4.4 installed which for some reason didn't work right from my desktop. I believe when I restored back to stock everything transferred fine and all files showed up. The "fluidity" or smoothness of the rom I found was effected when I chose a live wallpaper, I went back to a static wallpaper and everything seemed very smooth again so I believe that was the issue with this.
Right now, I chose to try out the android 4.3 Jelly bean rom and so far I am loving it so responsive quick and just superior to stock ics. I am new to this only learned about this cpl days ago so I may be missing something or another, but I'd suggest trying this out. All the same kudos to kasper for jumping the next step into kitkat im sure this will be my next step. I haven't learned about dark Omni yet or much superuser options but I hear its impressive so I expect I will venture into this as I learn more.

Alright. There is a directory structure change between 4.0.4 (if you had the updated stock) and recent versions of android supporting multi user. /data is now /data/0 and so on. Maybe your first set will be under /data and second one under /data/0 or /data/0/0..
No matter, good that you have stuck to 4.3 for now. Enjoying the custom ROM is the most fun than just flashing it cheerz buddy.

cheerz, I believe you may be right, I noticed a 0 directory show up in my storage so this is probably correct. I think I checked in there but not sure. I noticed there is a new update, for the 4.4 rom now too (FEB 1), I had the previous download. So I may download this and try again soon. I don't know enough yet though to make the experience for 4.3 to 4.4 much different. I started playing simpsons too, addicting, not sure if this was fixed yet for kitkat or not

The ROM itself is even more fluid than those 4.3.1-builds, but like you already said/noticed... It still has got its/some issues...
So from what I can tell, there are two versions of Lollipop available to try.
MDmower's unofficial CM12 builds and LiquidSmooth Lollipop
Can someone please describe the differences in features between the two?
Also, mdmower's page doesnt seem to indicate any known bugs but maybe I'm looking at the wrong place.
On the liquid smooth page, it mentions issues with the flashlight, usb file transfer, and camera. Are these issues that are carried over from the mdmower version?
I'm tempted to try. I can live with some bugs, but the camera is a pretty important feature for me.
Also, which Gapps do you recommend. I have some concern about Google Camera. On CM11, I find the regular camera app far more feature rich than when I tried installing Google Camera from the store. Both are slow but google camera never seemed to work very well for me. Most of the added features didnt work. I don't know about the CM12 stock camera though.

For Gapps I usually recommend PA Gapps just because I've never had an issue with it before. As far as the camera on LiquidSmooth, its related to the flashlight and I'm working on figuring out why its acting that way. USB file transfer works, it just ramps the CPU to max freq. and will kill your battery if left plugged in forever. I plan on dropping PacLP whenever Pacman ROMs decides to open their LP to the public, because I'm running that with no issues at all.
If I were you, I'd do a full backup in recovery and then flash both ROMs to see which one works best for you.
MDMowers CM12 ran well for me and was the first 5.x build available, the biggest thing is that you need to use his custom recovery and only his builds. But it does give you 4GB data rather than the stock 1GB. I didn't play with it much, I mainly use it to run Pandora on WIFI while I work on things I don't want my primary device to be close to.
Beeko's Liquidsmooth has run quite well also. I can't wait until his PacLP build is available.
But yeah as Beeko said backup and try them both. If they don't work for you right now you can get right back to where you are. :good:
Just so people know too, on 5.x.x you can choose where Android installs apps and stuff by going to Settings, then Storage, then click on Apps under the Total Space. You will now be in a new window, just hit the menu button up top and choose Preferred Install Location.
Does liquidsmooth need the custom recovery? Is the rom based on mdmowers?
One of the biggest issues I have on cm11 is running out of space on data for apps. Even moving to SD does not help because data and davlikcache still take up space. Mdmowers solution sounds great. I didn't quite understand with liquidsmooth, does that offer a solution as well?
As for gapps,my question was really regarding which package (micro, nano, etc). Specifically the ones that replaced stock apps. Especially the camera app.
In the end I think I'll either wait too see when the camera issue gets fixed with liquid Smith or just go with mdmower.
I still don't understand what liquidsmooth offers that mdmower does not. Or more simply, why was it created if mdmowers already existed.

Does liquidsmooth need the custom recovery? Is the rom based on mdmowers?
One of the biggest issues I have on cm11 is running out of space on data for apps. Even moving to SD does not help because data and davlikcache still take up space. Mdmowers solution sounds great. I didn't quite understand with liquidsmooth, does that offer a solution as well?
As for gapps,my question was really regarding which package (micro, nano, etc). Specifically the ones that replaced stock apps. Especially the camera app.
In the end I think I'll either wait too see when the camera issue gets fixed with liquid Smith or just go with mdmower.

No you don't need custom recovery for Liquid yet, haven't decided if I want to add it in yet. Maybe I'll take a poll. But Liquid offers much more for customization if you want to customize LP more than CM. Gapps doesn't matter, just depends on your preference.

Thanks.
What did you mean by "you can choose where Android installs apps and stuff"?
on CM11, I'm running out of space due for apps because of apps, app data (even for some sd apps), and davlik cache for all apps. Does this option that you refer to allow all this to be moved?

It's only on 5.X.X ROMs, not CM11.

Yeah, I know on 5.x.x roms only.
I just know that I have space issues with apps, data, davlik cache with CM11 so I assume I'd have the same issues in CM12.
Mdmower's data swap thing sounds like a solution.
However if 5.x.x roms allow you to save an app (including data and davlik cache) elsewhere, then there's no need for the swap and that should solve the issue.
Is that correct?
The option in the menu says "Removable SD card"
but it does change it to the internal storage partition just like MDMowers partition swap.
@Beeko is this a liquid smooth change or is it in 5.0.x?

It's a change in 5.x.x every LP ROM should have it.
Must be how the partitions are laid out. On my Nexus 5 & 7 it doesn't give the option even with a USB drive attached but they of course don't have a SD slot. I'll have to check out the wife's Nook HD when I get home. :good:

I wonder if the app data, cache etc, also gets moved to the SD or if that still gets stored in /data like in CM11
By "removable SD card", does that mean the actual external SD card?
I wonder if there are any performance issues, or issues when you remove the card or mount it when connecting to a computer
It said Removable SD card but the App got installed on the 4GB internal partition. Haven't had time to look any further than that.
Looks like it doesn't really work right now Been testing apps and they're all downloading to the internal storage not the SD.

I guess I'll test MDMower's first. Then switch over to yours when I get a chance.
If you do decide to switch over to the modified recovery, that will making switching back and forth alot easier.
However, if CM12 ever becomes official, then I'm guessing the modified recovery wont be compatible with CM's auto-update notification (which I've found to be really nice)
Seemed to work for me they installed to the internal SD card.

I have a Note 2 (obviously), and I have rooted my phone the first day I got it and have never updated the phone since I purchased it. So, I am still on 4.1.2. My phone has been super laggy and I want to take the oppurtunity the when I reset my phone that I can take advatages of the new features that mobile phones have by upgrading all the way to 5.1.x.
So, I downloaded CM 12.1 by wilson3q with 5.1 system. I first tried the 5.0 version since the 5.1 looked too new, and did not have time to deal with the bugs. When I flashed the 5.0 version, I got errors of not being able to flash gapps for 5.0 and that I lost my root. I tried downloading the new TWRP to see if I can get a newer version that would work better, but no luck. I got an error saying that I lost my root privileges and did I want TWRP to fix it. I slid yes to fix, but no luck.
The same problem occurred when I tried with 5.1.
So, I ended up restoring my nandroid backup and I am back on 4.1.2 again with root working again.
I am thinking that I am probably supposed to 'step up' the updates, but not sure. Does anyone have a solution or a link to the solution that they can help with?
PS: I did not like the camera that came with the new mod. I do like the stock one. Are there flashes of cameras that I can use as well when I do end up upgrading?
Thank you in advance!!!

Try Phiz recovery, I've never had trouble with "[I605][CWM Advanced Edition] PhilZ Touch". If I recall we had to start using that one when kit-kat was released (i reserve the right to recall poorly)

I assume that you are giving steps in order, BUT I feel that I should flash the radio to 4.4.2 first, in which the link was broken. I have spent a couple hours trying to find another link, but I am afraid that I may be using an incorrect one. Do you have a good link for that, please?
Also, I have ready the newest Samsung 3.10 Odin downloaded and installed, as well as the USB driver installed and downloaded the ADB fastboot. If I remember correctly, I am supposed to move this onto C: and run it to access the device (Note 2). It has been since Android first came out since I have used the ADB though. So, I apologize for the ignorance. So, do I just make sure the adb is in the same directory and run Odin or did I not need ADB and just run Odin?
I also assume that I run the Philz touch after I have gotten to 4.4.2 rooted first. Am I correct by assuming that?

Yes, I have done a cache/dalvik wipe a few times (because I have tried reflashing to get it to work with no luck).
I have downloaded the .zip version of superSU as well, and gapps minimal 5.1 with wilson3q's 5.1 ROM. So, I am almost ready to go with the exception of the correct radio upgrade file.
Thank you so much for your help!!! Much appreciated!

Just flash philz from twrp. Reboot recovery wipe/reset... then flash new ROM gaaps... Wipe/reset... Then reboot.
I can post the radio zip to my site later tonight. I believe you can flash that last, or later (from philz cwm, after getting on cm12.1)
Same as superSU. Check out ROM first. It comes with root that can be enabled in developer options. you can always reboot to recovery later and flash the zip.
PS. WiFi tether built into ROM "hotspot" (no VZW subscription required)
Pps try this for the nd7 radios

Sorry to bother you, but I still am getting errors with Failed root access for Titanium Backup Pro. I also cannot find Developer Options in the settings menu.
I have tried flashing the radio before and after wiping and installing the ROM then gapps then superSU. I get into superSU and it asks me for root access and I grant it, but Titanium Backup Pro still says that it has no root access.
Any ideas? Thank YOU!!

with SuperSU installed, you may need to just need to update binaries. open SuperSU and it should prompt you if necessary. the "normal" option should work (no need to flash from recovery)
for TiBu...
--within SuperSU settings you may need to disable (uncheck) "mount name separation".
--You may also have to enable unknown sources (under settings, security).
-- there might be something to enable for USB debugging as well (TIBU should prompt for it)
FWIW, you can restore user apps/data... but I would not attempt to restore any system data. Personally, I have found it best to get to know a fresh ROM for a while before trying to restore crap from an older ROM . there might be value in re-configuring apps manually and/or restoring them one at a time (after making sure the ROM is working properly) i.e. you won't need any of those aforementioned WiFi tether apps since it is built into the ROM now.
Instructions on enabling developer options in CM ROM, from here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_developer_options
1- In the Settings app, select About Phone (or About Tablet).
2- Scroll down, and tap the Build number entry seven times. On the seventh tap, you will be notified that "You are now a developer."
3- Return back to the main Settings menu. Developer options and Performance entries should now be visible.

(that is likely how to enable superuser that is "baked" into the rom, given you already installed SuperSU it may only complicate matters)
You may be rooted and just having TiBu issues. If all else fails you can check with an app. A long time ago, I've used "Simple Root Checker" by SimoneDev to check root/busybox. It is still in the play store.
Good Luck!

Thank you! It ended up being my version of Titanium Backup. I downloaded a new version and it is good. As far as restoring is concerned, I do not even want the apps themselves restored from there, because there may be a new version and would like a fresh install of those apps. I just want my data restored. For example, I have a surveillance software that I would just like to restore the entries (IP's usernames and passwords). I would like my email settings to be there, so that I do not have to re setup my 7 email addresses. My Text/SMS messages and my alarms. So, I am not trying to do a full restore.
On another note, I am trying to get my calendars back into my phone with no luck. I cannot install google calendar and get my google calendars to populate into my task widget, and the ROM is not letting me set up my POP email addresses. Also, I see no ringtones, so I have no ringers to ring my phone nor tones for my alarm clock. I flashed gapps for 5.1 and I see nothing extra from the ROM. I thought gapps was google apps. Am I trying to do stuff differently than you? There seems to be a few problems in that manner that I am trying to work with.
I am thinking of downgrading to 5.0. Maybe the 5.1 is too new?
Again, THANK YOU for your help!

I wouldn't downgrade, nobody is actively working on 5.0.2 anymore.... that thread is basically dead. Also, it is likely less "stable"/mature than what you have installed now (that is currently being maintained). i.e. you have the ROM that I would stick with.
like I said I wouldn't restore any thing into system (apps or data)... you can do whatever you please. (but it could be causing you more issues than just biting the bullet & configuring manually) i.e. restoring accounts might result in unanticipated issues, you came from a much older version of android.
all I had to do was install google calendar from play store and then the CM12 calendar stuff all worked (I might have had to restart and/or install the google calendar prior to setting up primary gmail). you might need to remove all your accounts and load them again (a factory reset might be faster though.)
also you might have to update google services and the play store before certain things "play nice".
I know you don't want to hear this but...
from here on out i'll likely point to all your issues being based on restoring system data. (based on my limited knowledge and personal experience). FWIW, I'd try to reconfigure/setup everything manually and you will likely have much better results.

I figured that, and feared that and the same time. So, what am I flashing onto the phone with gapps then? Also, one of the reasons I was wanting to go back was because there are a few apps that are not 'compatible' with this system. Meanwhile, I am going to wipe and reset again, and do what you suggested and just reconfigure.
Thanks again!

GAaps are the google apps... good read:
http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/Google_Apps
(hopefully I am not out of line for posting a link to that wiki)
many ROMS like CM don't' include gaaps due to licencing/legal issues. which is why the AOSP roms devs often have you flash the GAAPS package separately (also you can pick your package for your fact pattern... full gaaps/minimal gaaps/etc.).
Also the gaaps zip files you flash from recovery install the files into system. a lot of folks like the minimal editions of GAaps because it doesn't force all the apps into system. instead it just gets you up and running with the play store and a few essentials... that lets the user install all the other google apps as user apps, from the play store.
basically taking the "debloat" mentality as far as you can... keep stuff out of system and let the user decide what to install.
