[Q] Stunner 2.3.11 Issues with pie and performance control - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I accidently posted this in the general thread instead of the Q/A thread. Can't seem to move it there. My sincere apologies.
I am trying to get Stunner 2, specificly pie controls and performance control, to fully work on my note.
Symptoms (on both 2.3.3 and 2.3.11):
- Pie control turned on but not showing. Tried about all combinations of pie control settings to get it to work.
- Performance control shows slider handles fixed to the far left, and cannot be moved.
- Superuser access notifications seem to be off at times (ie. showing 'Superuser granted to Theme Chooser' when i toggle Pie controls)
These symptoms occur directly after flashing the ROM and initial setup (no settings changed, no apps installed). I have also tried it while having extended desktop turned on as some suggested and tried multiple dpi settings.
I have tried to reflash the ROM multiple times, following instructions to the letter (this is my first post here but i'm a frequent visitor and have flashed probably over 50 ROMs on my note in the past). So full wipe, dalvik cache wipe, /system format etc.
Have been searching for a solution for hours now, have scanned the entire development thread, forum search, google, you name it... to no avail.
I loved stunner v1 back then and the vids showing off the pie controls make me Want it!
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

1) Pie control turned on but not showing. Tried about all combinations of pie control settings to get it to work.
2) Performance control shows slider handles fixed to the far left, and cannot be moved.
3) Superuser access notifications seem to be off at times (ie. showing 'Superuser granted to Theme Chooser' when i toggle Pie controls)
Answering you:
1) Did you try to slide your finger from out of the screen to the inside? Because i never had a single issue with Pie
2) doing some reading before posting and using search would help a lot, this is a known issue...
3) Install SuperSU? It has more features and it is more stable!

I have the same problem.
I must admit, it never crossed my mind to try PIE as I've never used it before and I was busy getting used to AOKP/CM10.1 having moved from TW JB.
Thought I would try it as you mentioned the problem and I can't get it to work either.
I am running on 240DPI, don't know if the DPI has anything to do with PIE functioning correctly.
I did think of looking for the app and wiping data and cache, but I can't find anything that looks like it is PIE.
Not the end of the world for me as I didn't intend to use it in the first place, but would be interesting to see how it works.
---------- Post added at 02:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:09 PM ----------
Looks like it might be DPI related.
I am running on 240DPI, and this I haven't changed.
The default PIE settings didn't work for me, so I changed them to the following:
Trigger Size - Big (This is what makes it work!!)
Pie Gravity - Right (shouldn't matter, but I wanted it on the right)
Pie Size - Large (Gigantic is too big for comfortable one handed operation, with Small the info text is too small for me)
Pie Style - Default (default)
Pie Gap - Huge (default)
The other settings are personal preferences.
All working fine for me now.
EDIT: I have changed the Trigger Size from Huge to Big, as I had some problems with the trigger area overlapping with my on-screen keyboard, so bizarrely I couldn't press the P key on the keyboard. Setting the Trigger Size to Big has resolved this.

Had this problem too and was very frustrated with it. But thanks - changing trigger size to BIG makes it work!
Thanks lots!

KatKiss ROM
​MarshMallow 6.0.1 Release​Asus TF701​​
This rom is an aosp based rom with my own additions on top of it.
The main motto of the rom being Kiss. Even though the Meerkat mascot could give you a kiss, it stands for Keeps it Sweet and Simple
Which means that just like the other K.A.T stuff, the rom's main goal is efficiency, speed/responsiveness,
while not adding bloated features that will slow things down
​
DOWNLOADS:
Latest Rom Version: KatKiss-6.0_TF701T_033.zip | Mirror
Gapps: OpenGapps ARM 6.0 Pico

Latest SuperSU: SuperSU stable
Install Instructions:
Backup everything !
Boot into the recovery
The first time or everytime you have an issue when dirty flashing (Especially when changing android major versions):
[*] do a full wipe, if you have issues make sure that you format /data (format is different than wipe)
Warning: formatting will remove what is stored in your internal storage, so store the rom /gapps/supersu zips onto an external storage (microSD, SD card..) or make sure you know how to push them back through adb.
Note that sometime with TWRP the partition might get corrupted after format, so you might need to format to ext3 then ext4 again, and/or reflash the rom if it fails to flash the 1st time
Then everytime (even when "dirty flashing") do the following steps:
Flash the rom
Flash the SuperSU zip
[*]Flash gapps
Wipe cache/dalvik
Reboot

Tips
First Install
Make sure you do a format /data the first time you install the rom
(backup your internal storage first if you want to keep something)
The first boot after a rom flash can take a few minutes as ART is slower than dalvik to optimize the applications, but is faster after the 1st time.
(First boot takes ~4-5 minutes without gapps and 10+ minutes with gapps)
Also keep in mind that after a fresh install, it might take a bit of time to get up to full speed as media scanner & google are checking/scanning and restoring stuff.
Wallpaper Modes
Different Wallpaper modes have been added in Settings => Display
** Normal (regular android mode)
** Disable System Wallpaper rendering (set as default)
** Disable Wallpaper service
2nd setting will prevent the wallpaper being rendered by the system making things faster and also freeing resources
That's the recommended setting you want to use if you are using a launcher that has internal wallpaper rendering
The Default included Launcher3 has internal rendering
For Nova: Go to its Settings => Desktop => Wallpaper Scrolling => Force, then set a wallpaper.
(You will see a black wallpaper if you're not using a launcher that can do internal rendering, If wallpaper is important and that you want to keep your current launcher, then switch back to the 1st setting)
Graphic artifacts
Video thumbnails shows green for certain type of videos
Bluetooth audio devices
For bluetooth audio devices that have "phone audio" capability you need to uncheck the box in the bluetooth device settings.
Hardware keyboard layouts
More languages have been added in the default asusec keyboard
Set the keyboard layout through Settings => Language & Input => asusec => setup keyboard layouts
These also allow live switching without reboot with ctrl + space
Global Key Override/Shorcut Mecanism
Available in Settings => Dock => Add Key Override Actions
This will allow you not only to redefine function keys assignment, and other special keys actions,
but you'll also be able to assign global macro actions / app launch to any key + Meta key combination (shift Left or Right , ctrl..)
You can also add multiple actions to one key combination, simply click again on the "+" button for the same key combination.
For example if you want to assign to one key combination a list of action to run before going to bed for example, like: turn wifi off, Bluetooth off, mute sound, and turn screen off, you can do that
Note that starting multiple applications with one key is kinda a miss and hit for the moment due to some mecanism in android that seems to prevent applications to start too close to each others.
Multiwindow
Multiwindow allows you to split the screen in 2, 3 or 4 panes
you can switch an app back and forth between multiwindow mode and regular mode while it's running
NavBar:
- To switch between full screen and split View you can use the
NavBar Buttons
The app that currently has the focus (or the latest used app if you're on the Desktop) will be used for the main pane (left and/or top depending on the mode and rotation)
And it will lay the remaining most recently used apps in the rest of the available 1-2-3 panes depending on the icon you click
- If you press a multiwindow icon again when in splitview mode, it'll bring the focused app back to fullscreen mode.
- To swap the 2 latest focused apps location / pane , long press on the
NavBar Button
- To change focus simply Tap on the app or use the
NavBar Button
That button can also be used in non multiwindow mode to switch quickly between the 2 most recent apps.
Global Actions:
Actions to switch the app between fullscreen / splitview 2-3-4 panes and switch between the 2 most recent apps have been added
so you can bind them to a key / key combination with the Global KeyOverride or long press on navbar button too.
Note: Most apps works ok in splitview mode, but some of them might crash or not refresh correctly sometime.
To manually position an app in one of the pane:
For the moment either reorder your apps before clicking on an auto mode icon,
or you can also activate the default Marshmallow Multiwindow mode to get extra icons to positions an app in a specific pane (activate it in developer options )
Then position the apps with the icons from the Recents screen. (default MM recents icons are for 2 or 4 panes)

TF701 version #030b
New rom version available: KatKiss-6.0_TF701T_030b.zip
Let's get this baby rolling
I also got Nougat 7.1 booting but there are still some issues with surfaceflinger crashing, I hope I can fix that at some point too, so that we can move from MM
But for the moment enjoy some Marshmallow
Make sure you read fully the 1st and 2nd post
Especially the install instructions, and what's not working currently.
Also keep in mind that it's still the first version, so things might need a bit of polishing and there's still lots of space for improvements
So far I'd say that it's fully stable and can be used as a daily driver (pending that you don't need one of the currently not working feature of course)
But I've been using it for the past few days with no issues with what I use here.
Note that as mentioned in post #2 there is some kind of graphic artifact / corruption on the google initial setup "enter your login" screen.
I'm not sure what's causing it yet, maybe something with google webview / rom optimizations, it seems to be only localized in that screen, so simply ignore it for moment.
Changelog:
- First TF701T version
- Update to November Marshmallow release

Shouldn't be related to regulatory domain then
Did you format /data before flashing the rom ?
EDIT: okie, found the problem, use version 030b below:
New rom version available: KatKiss-6.0_TF701T_030b.zip
Any chance you can post a changelog for the not working areas of new ROM uploads. Bluetooth & rotate are deal breakers for me right now, but I do fancy keeping an eye on the thread for when you get them sorted.

I got WiFi connection. Great!
Thanks a lot. You are bringing new life to my beloved tablet.
Thank you so much to support our Tablet with your wonderful Rom. I am just waiting for fix the Bluetooth and Autorotation Problem and then I will give your rom a try. Thank you
Ooh, yes, thank you for making the effort to modernise our dying device! I want to try this right now, but I use Bluetooth audio quite often. I am sure you will be able to sort it out. Can't wait to try it.
Just a quick question - what recovery are you using for flashing this ROM? AFAIK the KANG TWRP is the latest one but it has some issues (for me) with wiping caches and sometimes even /system. It can flash a MM ROM no problems, right?

Yes I'm using KANG TWRP,
would be good to have f2fs support at some point, I've added it in katkernel but we'd need the recovery to support it too
should help even further the perfs
About bluetooth I've fixed it .. mostly besides audio
Well it's not the bluetooth that is the issue now but the audio hal crashing after pairing to a device
I only have one speaker to test with though, not sure if it's general to all bt audio devices or not.
But at least now bluetooth HID devices (keyboards..) & tethering are working
Now, this might be a silly question, but what happens when you try to play audio from the TF701T to your Bluetooth speaker? Does it start lagging, crashing, and not playing any sound? Because if so, I think I might know how to fix it.
I have the issue on CM12.1 and I think people have it on other CM-based and perhaps all custom ROMs. I fixed it by connecting my BT speaker to the tablet and then turning off Phone audio from the device's settings in the Bluetooth menu. I have no idea how it works and why it is happening, I just "felt" I should do it (lol), but the moment I turned that off the tablet stopped panicking while connected to a speaker and started playing music through it with no problems whatsoever. Of course, you probably can't use any app that is on the Phone channel, but I've never used it anyway. I could be wrong about this, I'm not a dev at all, but could you be facing the same issue that no one has fixed yet (I believe?)? If not, then I hope you can find a solution to whatever the problem is . Maybe I can even use a BT device for calls.

Really glad I could help! I'm curious, though, what could be causing this strange problem? Something with the ASUS kernel and non-ASUS libs (or whatever it could be, I am a huge layman )? A conflict between hardware and software?
Anyhow, this ROM looks amazing, after you release the next version with fixed autorotation I am going to install this. Starting to backup all my old stuff right now .

once the bt device is registered it tries to route through the audio hal libs , it seems one of the libs cannot handle that type of stream and crashes.
That's the problem with having very old HAL blobs
need to torture them and workaround all they cannot handle.

[GUIDE] Device Settings Menu | Part II - Sounds and vibrations, Notifications, Themes

Device Settings Menu Guide, Tips & Discussions
Part 2 - Sounds and vibration, Notifications, Wallpaper and themes​
If you're new to this series or want to see the index, please read the Introductory Post first.​
Sound and vibration
Vibrate while ringing: I have enabled it as in environments where ringtone is not loud enough, vibrations in my pocket helps me.
Ringtone: Set Ringtone for each of your SIMs. Tap Add to add music from your storage. Select 'Highlights only' to play only a specified part of the track and not necessarily from the beginning. This way you can make ringtones from the music track itself but anyways here are the best ringtones sites. The existing catalog in the device has few nature-inspired tones - I've set it to 'Friday'.
Vibration Pattern: Specifies vibration pattern for your Calls. Choose it to something by which you can easily differentiate your calls from a standard notification from the initial vibration itself. I've set it to 'Off-beat'.
Notification sounds: You can set customized notification for each app in app's settings itself so set this one as a default notification - something short that won't annoy you. My choice is 'Twinkle'.
Volume: Play with them to find what suits you. In my case, System (touch sounds, back button sounds, etc.) is zero while notifications on the lowest side. You can still control them by pressing volume rocker and then expanding the pop-up.
Vibration Intensity: If you get annoyed, like I do, by vibrations for every notification, set it to zero or alternatively set it to a lower level while tweaking individual app notification settings to allow/disallow vibrations. 'Touch interaction' is for on-screen touches while 'Hard press home button' is for the hard home button in Note9.
Use Volume keys for media: I never wanted to control ringtone with volume rockers. Must be enabled!
System sounds and vibration: Touch sounds; Screen lock sounds; Charging sounds; Vibration feedback; Dialling keypad tones; Keyboard sounds; Keyboard vibration; Touch vibration: I've set it off; on; on; on; off; off; off (I use SwiftKey); on.
Advanced sound settings > Sound quality and effects, Separate app sound:
Dolby Atmos: Read about it here. I've set it to Auto. You can easily toggle modes from the notification bar itself (move it to first page).
Equaliser: Play with it to decide what's best for you. Here is an Equaliser guide for you so that you can play with the Advanced mode as well.
UHQ upscaler: Bit-upscaling works best for me. Read a pro analysis on UHQ upscaling modes here.
Tube Amp Pro; Concert hall: They are disabled when using Dolby Atmos. I prefer Dolby Atmos over either of them.
Adapt Sound: Do try it! Add trying a new profile for each of your earphones or audio device and personalise sound. You can try existing profiles and toggling Clear or Soft sound preference.
Seperate app sound: Useful in cases where you don't want an app's sound to play on your default audio device. I have set 'App' to Chome/Facebook and Audio device to 'Phone' so that they don't accidently play on the connected device in case Bluetooth is left on.
Notifications
App icon badges: Useful though I use similar feature 'Notification badges' in Nova Launcher.
Do not disturb: You can schedule it though I recommend Tasker or IFTTT for scheduling stuff. Do explore Allow exception > Custom to enable 'Repeat callers', allowing calls/messages from specific group, allowing event/task/reminders. Customize DND so that your 3rd-party (scheduling) apps when enabling it enables your customized settings. Review 'App rules' when set by them. Allow or disallow LED or visual notifications when DND is enabled.
Status bar: Since I usually get a lot of notifications, I've disabled 'Show recent notifications only'. It's not a bad idea to get the actual percentage of battery level so enable 'Show battery percentage'.
LED indicator: Enable and then try apps like LightFlow (Pro) to define pro LED settings.
App Notifications: You can customize each App's notification here itself or can do this simply in that App's settings. I prefer customizing App settings when they arrive in the notification bar by holding the notification and tapping settings. This way, in some time, you'll make your app notifications fully customized for all of those that bother you. With Pie, you have now greater control of each app's notification. You can even customize notification subcategories of a particular app. Do check 'silent and minimized' mode that doesn't create a mess in your notification panel as well as minimizes the content by default with no sound. Do you need a separate guide to master this? Do tell. You can also refer to a good article here.
Advanced:
Allow or disallow lock screen notifications, DND exception and Importance. As above, I prefer doing this via app settings when needed.
Menu: 'Show system apps' for customizing notifications of the bloatware. 'Reset preference' in case you believe you have messed up with all your notifications or you need a fresh start.
Wallpaper and themes
It will route you to Samsung Themes. I use seperate icon and theme packs for Nova Launcher. I do use AOD packs from the Themes. Do explore this section on XDA itself. I'm going to develop some themes (preferably AOD skins) soon and will let you know. Learn how to develop yours here.
-- Reserved for FAQs --
Is it just me, or am I completely missing the point of this? You've gone to all the trouble of explaining in great detail, a series of self explanatory settings.
It reads more as a long list just of what you have all your settings on haha.

Assuming that you have read the Introductory Post, I'm really sorry if it didn't work for you. I had tried to make sure that I don't iterate self-explanatory things that's why I haven't copy-pasted the descriptions that comes with the device. While exploring all the settings, I had to google many of them - maybe not a pro user like you. That's the reason I decided to compile this.
No worries if this series fails for everyone (though I believe there would be a group of users that I'd be able to help in anyway - maybe non-XDA users). Even if it's a no-go, moderators are free to close this thread. I always wanted to document the settings and this will at least help me in the future.
Peace.

Keep up the good work, please, finish the entire series. :good:
This is a great idea, if one feels they don't need it, they can simply move on to the rest of the device forum.
If nothing else it's a more detailed/user-friendly version of the OEM User guide.

Really gives me motivation, sir. I had already compiled the full series before moving to XDA. Three of total five parts are already posted. I was bit demotivated that's why was hesitating to immediately post the remaining two. They'll be posted within an hour now.
Thanks.

This is something I think should be a part of every device forum,especially the more popular devices.
Perhaps approach the powers that be @ XDA with the idea,to have this sort of breakdown of the phone,in its own sub-section of a device forum,to go along with the 5-6 existing sub-sections.
Such a section would address a lot of questions people have regarding their devices.
Maybe XDA will offer you (& others) a position on their staff to take this up................... :good:

Thanks for identifying the long-term goal of mine. I always wanted a single discussion space for similar kind of queries. While exploring every other unfamiliar setting on the device, when I googled them, I saw a lot of similar threads even in same website like XDA. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll surely try.
I'm now done with all the five parts (here is the index). I surely need more criticism to improve but I'm sure this is the way to go. I have been a pro mobile user since 2012 and I can bet on that most of the users have never explored even the basic settings in their devices. Even if I help a dozen of them, this is my success.
Thanks for supporting. Let's see how this works.

I'm really sorry for disappointing you. It would be nicer if you could tell me how to improve the content. Coming to your 'Why' part, I think I have already explained it in the Introductory Post as well as included the message in top of every part.
I had already gone through the User Manual before I decided to compile this. User Manual has over 300 pages and it's too descriptive. It's feasible for a step-by-step process of a specific feature with even describing every button click and combination. I've summarized every single one of them in 5 parts. No one is going to read the manual in one go but I was able to fresh start my device in few minutes by going through my documentation. This may be a bad idea but as @KOLIOSIS says, I also think that this should be a basic part of each device's forum.
If manual could answer everything, why are there multiple QAs on XDA with similar queries like these:
samsung pay fingerprint section greyed out
wifi power saving mode
phone visibility
bluetooth low energy
seperate app sound
These are only few ones which I have just find out by going through first 2 parts and picking up any settings randomly. And I have filtered out results from XDA only. You'll see hundred of similar posts over many forums. This is a new idea and I will be happy to admit even if it fails. I get no worries for trying something new.

Pie: strange situations

New N9 with Pie OS, UAE sim-free. Could not install unknown apps, despite giving permissions. (Max deGoogle on my devices.) Rooting anyway: Dr Ketan's excellent Pie ROM flashed. Still couldn't install unknown apps - until I let Titanium install a companion app. Very strange. Now discovered that some of the installed apps - that I use frequently - would not open. Have Pie on N8 for months, no such problems there. Anyone have these issues?
Is One UI the problem? Have used it on the N8, but never impressed by it. 1. Hard press Home button to get to Home Screen involved a momentary detour through Lock Screen. Doesn't happen with Oreo, so obviously sloppy coding. 2. Time on status bar now on left. Why? Previously could check status of phone with a glance, now must check right and then check left. 3. Camera: to view last shot need to reach thumb down now to button, which involves shifting hold on phone. Previously, this button above shoot button and within easy reach. Both 2 and 3 are senseless modifications, that only add to the nuisance value of One UI. No doubt there are other inconveniences (the infantile icons, for instance), and no doubt many of them will be corrected with version 2. But the effect right now is to downgrade the overall impact of the Pie OS.
Anyway, solved all this by flashing the good doctor's Oreo ROM. Everything works as it should.
For the record: the N9 is a beauty. The N8 is a workhorse, reminds of Note 4, while the N9 has echoes of the N7/FE.

One UI 2.0

I got the Android 10 update today, and i'm not going to lie:
I'm kinda disappointed.
The few new features and some of the changes to the UI are not good enough to make me ignore some very annoying things.
First of all, i don't understand how the notifications are handled now.
For some reason the spotify playback notification is constantly hidden, no matter how i change the settings.
The recents menu also behaves weirdly, it feels very flimsy.
I'm not sure if this is a change, or something i configured before, but the clock being on the left of the notification bar is also very annoying.
same. Also, the swipe from home to recents to switch between apps does not work now...
Received the Update in India just an hr ago
Same as Android 10 , Minor changes. I don't think Samsung will be changing UI stuff, I just love OneUI as it is, it's my own opinion. It's true that some things have changed since Pie release but i think we will get used to it.
Are there any vids on what exactly has changed compared to previous beta's?

As for your clock you probably had good lock installed and had modified the clock position. Default is left side.

Question Brightness Bar Issue

Since yesterday my brightness bar has lost the animation, so I have to slide blindly and only when I lift the finger the brightness is applied. It's a little bit annoying and I don't know why it's happening.
Note: two days ago I updated to Dec. Ota, but I don't know if it's related or not.
Edit: it's related with AOSP Mods, solved when module is disabled, anyone with the same issue?
I didn't have the same issue with AOSP Mods enabled. I moved my brightness slider down below the quick settings though so give that a try
