Cm10 locks up when you press menu in browsers - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

I updated cm 10 nightly 3 days ago and after a day, noticed when I opened the browser or chrome and hit menu either on screen or menu button, phone instantly locks up. Tried reinstalling previous, newer, and older nightly but had same problem. Totally uninstalled and formatted phone. Reinstalled cm10 to a previous version and have same problem. WTF. Any suggestions?

Yeah here's a suggestion: it happens to me and plenty others, my suggestion is to run CM9.1 until CM10 is actually STABLE and not experimental. There's going to be bugs man.

Two solutions.
1) Check, Disable HW Overlays in Developer Options under Settings. Unfortunately, you'll need to do this every reboot so it's not a great solution.
2) In build.prop, set debug.composition.type=gpu and debug.mdpcomp.maxlayer=2
This slightly reduces smoothness but survives a reboot.
3) the 9-21 nightly supposedly fixes this and I'm going to test it now.

unfortunately, 9/21 build does not fix this.. i did dirty flash, however.
build.prop settings above DO work..
i used the build.prop editor here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.bwulfert.buildpropedit
via http://www.xda-developers.com/android/edit-your-build-prop-the-easy-way-with-buildprop-editor/
on a side note.. any idea where i can view official nightly changelogs for quincyatt?

9-21 does fix it for me but I flashed clean.

I used hw setting to fix the flickering issue I had previously but it did nothing for this, however, the 9/21 update did the trick.

Keyboard issues with ICS

So I recently took the leap and took my rooted S2 and put various ROMS on it. For the life of me I cannot figure out the keyboard lag. It starts fine, and, then at times it will slow down so much it's almost impossible to type. It happens on CM9, Ultimatium, SHOstock is the worst and i tried Foxhound, love it, but same issue. And it's not the screen, it's recognizing the buttons pushed from what I can tell, but the device just does not register every keystroke.
I have read and read and just cant find a solution.
Any ideas?
I have only noticed that my t or h key doesnt always get registered, otherwise its fine.

Have you tried fluxxi kernel? It has extensive touch settings so people with screen protectors (maybe you have one?) can really tweak the sensitivity. There's also a "gingerbread" preset that people, incl. myself have been happy with. Also, have you tried changing the touch sensitivity setting on CM9 (and some other ROMs)? It's in System settings > Advanced (or Device Settings) IIRC.
Siyah kernel also has adjustable sensitivity via the ExTweaks app.

Thank you!
I got the Fluxxi kernel. Any chance you might be able to tell me where the "gingerbread" preset is?
I'm going to play around with CM9 again, I'm using AOKP right now, and it seems to be ok.
Did you install the xxTweaker app from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26350589&postcount=1 ? All of the configurable settings are controlled by xxTweaker.
If not, do that first, and then open the app. You'll find it under "Display".

[Q] Remove App Associations?

I've seen and tried a couple of work arounds to remove App Associations from ICS/Sense 4.1 - I've tried fapple final but get boot loops. Tried removing HTCLinkifyDispatcher.apk (w/ build.prop edits) and nothing at all links up. Is there any method that actually works for our device?
(was using CM10.1 but the secure lock screen slowness and deteriorating quality took me back to VIPER)

Due to a lawsuite with Apple, HTC had to put in an open app to app hook block - HTCLinkifyDispatch.apk. Its gotten better in OTAs but it still prevents things like clicking "Yes | No | Maybe" in GCal invite emails from opening in the Calender app.
Also, I don't mean to get off topic but you work is great but a few little things are smoother in stock.

After some of the later unofficials I find it laggy. Random scroll jumps (jumps down, then back up). Play still crashes, no matter CPU settings. Touch also goes unresponsive where official nightlies rarely did. I can deal with all of that actually. The kicker is the pin, password and pattern unlock are painfull slow across all versions of CM10.1 on this device. Setting it in preferences is fast but actually using it to unlock your phone it vibrates like a mother and either freezes or severly lags behind.

[Q] Flickering Multicolored Lines

For the past week or so my phone has had flickering multicolored lines flash across the homescreen(s)/lockscreen when I turn the display back on. Sometimes it will also happen if I'm sitting on the homescreen with the display already on.
Here is my Rom history as the problem began:
Was on supernexus (Android 4.2.2 I believe) - issue was not present
Flashed Unofficial Slim build 6 (wiped cache/dalvik/factory reset before install)- started having the issue
Flashed Unofficial Slim build 6.2 (wiped cache/dalvik)- issue still present
Flashed AOCP 5.7 yesterday (wiped cache/dalvik/factory reset and formatted internal SD)- thought issue was gone, but it started happening again today.
I tried taking screenshots but the issue disappears as soon as I press the volume+power button to take the screenshot. This only seems to happen when I'm on the homescreen/lockscreen, I dont think it has happened while in any other apps.
I'm wondering if this might be an issue with the specific version of the Nova launcher, as I believe that is the common denominator between these Roms (isn't AOCPs launcher based on CM's nova?). I just installed go launcher and the problem seems to be gone (for now).
Has anyone else seen something like this? I apologize if this has been discussed somewhere, I spent several hours searching Google and XDA before posting. I can post a picture later when I have access to another camera phone.
Same issue here
I have the same issue at the lock screen. Prevalent on all JB roms I have tried, carbon, revolt & slim bean.
I'm currently using Carbon nightly. I have not seen a fix for this yet. I have heard it might be an issue with the processor waking up from sleep.
After installing Go Launcher Ex opening it a couple times and then going back to using the Aspire launcher that came with AOCP, I haven't had this issue again all afternoon. Didn't have it at all yesterday though, so it might come back.
I played around with all the brightness settings but it didn't seem to do anything. Do you happen to have any pictures of the effect you are getting? I'll try and post a picture of mine tonight if it happens again. Thanks!
About 3 hours ago, I changed some GPU & lock screen settings and the issue has not reappeared.
I will post back either later tonight or tomorrow morning with some info.
I haven't taken any photos of the problem yet. By the way, do you usually experience the issue on lock screen coming from a screen off state?
ditto on this. I have Cyanogenmod 10.1 installed and I get these lines intermittently.
Try turning off CRT animations and disable hw overlays.

Go to settings, developer options scroll half way down and you will find it. You will have to disable it every time you reboot or you can use two paid apps from the market. These apps are tasker and secure setting they are both worth every cent.

(go to 1:40)
I usually get the flickering with the lock screen (I use WidgetLocker Lockscreen). I was having some flickering this morning and checking both of those options seemed to immediately cut out the flickering.
I ran across it(the flickering lines) on one of the 4.2.2 roms, can't remember exactly which one but what I ended up having to do was disable one of the tweak apps it came with and install Trickster Mod only. Worked for me, no more flickering or rebooting, not sure what the cause may have been but have had no other issues after that for I believe it was 2 weeks
Please elaborate

Scroll down to my post there. If you still need help, just let me know.
Trickster mod I believe is mainly for Rom's that have Kernels that can be OC'd or Under Clocked. Kind of the same as Android Tweaker or SetCPU but is a little smoother for me IMO.

CyanideMod V2 volume
I am currently having a problem. The volume buttons on the phone are not working for Ringtone and Notification. They will only adjust the volume of the music, games & other Media. I have it set in Sound/Volumes, but it is not working. Also, I am not able to adjust the volumes in the profiles, they just stay set at defaults.

Will you check if omniswitch can be set as default recent app still? I fixed the stock recent issue before I uploaded but if omniswitch can still be selected as default then I uploaded the unfixed version. I'll upload V3.5 soon. Working on a kernel/recovery mod at the current time

FUSE support?
Hi,
I found this ROM last night and flashed it, and want to say thanks. I was having trouble with other ROMs aborting installation, but this one installed without a hitch. Everything works as it should, and way better than my old CM9 ROM. This was completely painless.
Question: Does the kernel have FUSE support?
I'm trying to get SSHFS working; I can ssh into the target server via terminal emulator, but SSHFS will not mount. It appears to mount but doesn't really. When I click unmount, It complains:
fusermount: error getting lock: Invalid argument
I know this isn't the place to get help with SSHFS, but it will only work if the kernel has FUSE support, so that enters into your bailiwick.
Oh, and a possible issue: It seems I'm not getting as strong a network signal now as I did before flashing this ROM. Is it even possible this could be due to a software issue?
Thanks again for the great work. You are awesome!
Stock recent panel is not working. Could just be my dirty flash. Thank you for your hard work. This ROM is amazing.

modem not working
I've been running a CyanogenMod-9 version for quite awhile, until about a week ago when I decided to upgrade. I tried some of the CM-10 versions, and installation aborted midway, leaving me stuck with a non-working phone for a few days.
I flashed CyanideMod-V3-S2 a few days ago, and was very pleased to see it install effortlessly. It looks great, and everything seems to be working, EXCEPT the modem.
The network signal is very weak. I can make calls if I am in town, or on top of a high hill, but often I get no signal at all. I do live in a rural area, but it has never been this weak. Even when I get full bars, they are always white, never blue as they should be. I have no access to data.
I don't know much about AT&T's network; frequencies, etc., but my semi-educated guess is that I'm not picking up all the frequencies I should.
In my settings:
Mobile network is on.
Data is enabled
Preferred network type is set to 3G
Network operators is set to ATT
Access Point Names was set to ATT LTE. I stopped in today at an ATT store, and the rep's phone was set to "ATT Phone" so I experimentally changed to that and rebooted, but saw no change. The settings in the 7 available choices match the setting in other working phones in our household, so I don't think this is a settings problem.
I found the "Consolidated Modem" thread on this site, which lists 13 choices for modems. My phone reports a "Baseband version of i777UCKK6, which is one of the choices in that page, which I assume was installed with the ROM. I don't know if the modem is my problem, and wouldn't have a clue which of these to try. Are they installed through recovery in the same way as the ROM and gapps?
I love this ROM, but the phone is nearly unusable as it is. Has anyone else had this problem, or does anyone have any pointers?
Thanks so much for all your hard work.
Newest modern is UCMD8. Rom wouldn't affect the modem other then the usual kk signal issues
Thanks for the update. Amazing!! Stalk recents still does not work (maybe because of dirty flash, please confirm with other users). Also the power menu-reboot menu does not have reboot to recovery. Reboot to recovery is available in stweaks. But it would be nice to have again in power menu.

If you uncheck and recheck Advanced Boot in Developer Options you should get the boot to recovery to show back up. It still shows for me after update.
I am getting FC on Google play services after update and cannot access my account. Would reflashing gapps fix that?

Thanks for helping him. Yes just reflash gapps. Not sure why it's like that but for some reason it is. I don't need it while testing but then do later on. Strange
Awesome build (V4). Coming from CM of a few months ago, everything is real snappy (also due to flashing afresh).
A few bugs so far:
1) Tapping on notifications in the pull-down drawer doesn't seem to link to anything (the animation works, but the associated action doesn't fire). Additionally, the Halo/Quick Settings buttons at the top of the notification drawer seem to get pushed off the edge of the screen (Would be nice if the Halo button could be removed/Halo disabled).
2) Lock screen slider shortcuts cover up cLock
3) Volume buttons (including from home screen) control system volume, not ringer/notification volume.
Amazing work, in any case! Some day I'll need to get a new phone.

thanks a ton, got everything back to square one with that I777UCMD8 tar, easy after that and now running cyanidemod and it's running as slick as my gs5.. at least it seems to be. thanks again:good:
After a couple days of use its still running super slick.. only issue thus far is pretty bad battery life.. any settings i can adjust to improve things? Or another kernel maybe.. anyone else have issues with battery life?

Pretty decent nightly, had issue with backlight setting that messed up screen brightness after screen lock. Had to reflash, there was no way back. I would suggest people avoid playing with backlight setting for the meantime.

My Bluetooth is working fine, both to my Pebble watch and car.
I'm not sure what's up with backlight on this build. You have two options that seem to be the same on the DISPLAY settings, one says "Adaptive Brightness, Optimize brightness level for available light" and the other says "Adaptive Backlight, Dynamically adjust the brightness of the display's backlight to maximize battery life while maintaining usability".
The first one seems to adjust properly, and the slider bar does seem to set the upper limit for this level.
The 2nd one is a bit more problematic, I'm not really sure it works or how it functions in conjunction with the other one.
Anyone figure this out yet?
BTW I tried the full version of Lux with both of them turned off and it didn't end up well, the screen became so dark I ended up having to reboot and remove it.

My understanding of the Z Ultra is that the kernel and recovery are both on the boot partition and are not actually separate. If you install TWRP or Philz you will wipe the CM12 kernel out and you won't boot, just be able to get into recovery. Those recoveries are built for stock/stock based installs where you can replace the kernel.
We will just have to wait for a good CM12 Recovery or boot to CM11 and use its recovery to backup /data and then reinstall CM12 before you boot up. I think I've seen that refered to hot booting recovery.
Please feel free to correct me if you are a dev and know more about this than me.
