Uh, I totally appreciate the long answer...and it was dead-on (right).

Thank you again.

BTW: I found out why my WiFi is flaky on KK...it's the auto-band thing (5Ghz vs 2.4Ghz). I have both in my house -- but only one AP is _simultaneous_ dual band. So what was happening (I think) is that it was "preferring" the 5Ghz band, and when that was available even at the lowest level, it was continually trying to connect to that AP and failing - then seeming to reset WiFi and try again. Switching it to ONLY 2.4Ghz seems to keep it connected solid, but that's not the way I think it should be (nor the way I want it). I know in windoze, there is a setting for how aggressive the NIC is in moving from one AP to another. (There's tradeoffs to this, like if you are running something that requires a persistent connection like a SSH terminal or something, you don't want to drop the connection to switch AP's unnecessarily.)

Anyway, I wonder if there's any tweak'able settings like that in KK to tell it how aggressive it should be in preferring 5Ghz -- and then once it has a decent connection, not to drop it unless it actually loses the connection (and only THEN check both bands again).

Hope that makes sense.

[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
Glad that long post wasn't useless lol.

There's no options I'm aware of, there may be settings way in the guts that don't have actual settings, like something an SQL editor may be able to play with, or maybe an app that can do it? I stopped using 5 GHz because I'd randomly lose connectivity even if its showing connected but I think its my crappy router, its solid on 2.4 just flaky on 5 GHz. Not your issue but still may be related if my router isn't the reason.
[HTC Droid DNA] aweber1nj:
Not sure that was the problem. I shouldve tested it further, but I can't get wifi connected again. I'm stuck on lte, because it gets stuck somewhere in "authenticating" or "obtaining ip address". Just never really connects.

Really frustrating. This should be the one thing that works, if anything!
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
When that happens I have to reboot my router to get it behaving again, rebooted yours lately?
[HTC Droid DNA] aweber1nj:
There are two iPad's and a laptop connected just fine right now (and maybe my daughter's phone too). I think it's KK, not the router.

(and I don't think it's your rom/build specifically, but I don't know why this was fine with my 4.2 rom, and now it's unusable.)
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
Just give it a reboot. I'll have a device stuck connecting while 8 other things are humming along fine. Reboot, all is right in the world. What's it hurt to reboot it and be without internet for 30 seconds and possibly correct a connection issue? ;) Maybe it helps, maybe it doesn't, but such an easy thing to try would be a waste to not try out if it happened to fix it yeah?
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
It shows you care about us :)
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
Updated build available

Updated sources

Nothing else special that I know of

Grab it from pio-masaki.com

Forgive my lack of following the trend of random spurts in my update announcement, not in a great place right now.
[HTC Droid DNA] ashonka:
Anyone else having trouble getting this downloaded? It goes along fine for awhile, but it always ends unsuccessful.
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
Just downloaded it in under 3 minutes, are you on mobile data?
[HTC Droid DNA] ashonka:
Was using my wifi. I have pretty terrible DSL, but I generally do not have any problems getting files.
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
OK I forwarded it to the host, but I'm still not having any issues downloading from the site so I'm not sure what might be going on. Is it one file in particular having this issue?
[HTC Droid DNA] ashonka:
I have only tried downloading the latest build.
[HTC Droid DNA] Codiusprime:
Does anyone ever have their touch screen become unresponsive? It seems to happen after I wake it up but I can't reproduce the problem consistently. Some days I'll have to reboot my phone three or more times because the touch screen stops working and some days it fine, I haven't had it happen once all weekend. The phone is not frozen, I still receive notifications and everything I just can't interact with my phone at all. Hella strange.
[HTC Droid DNA] :
Thanks for keeping these up, pio. I know this device is getting a little aged in comparison and those of us who can't afford a new one every year or so really appreciate it! :thumbup:
[HTC Droid DNA] Stephenhon:
I have the same problem after flashing crpalmer's kernel.

But i am on CM11 M3 rom. Flash back the cm11 kernel everything is okay!
[HTC Droid DNA] Codiusprime:
Interesting. I'm definitely on the stock kernel that comes with carbon. Maybe I'll try running a different rom for a few days and see if it persists. I didn't have any issues over the weekend then today I had to force a reboot four times, each time it happened when I woke the phone up. It's weird.
[HTC Droid DNA] dubsx:
So I've mentioned it a couple times but nobody else has...am I the only one with the carrier label missing? Or just the only one that cares...? Lol. I know its not just this ROM either, I tried the new Mahdi build and had the exact same thing.

It's weird, upon boot Verizon Wireless shows up but then disappears immediately.
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
Do you mean on the pulldown or the status bar? I haven't seen carrier on the status bar in forever, but it is there on the pulldown.
[HTC Droid DNA] dubsx:
Yeah, on the pulldown and quick tile. It showed on your 1/29 build but every build since it disappears. Again, same with Mahdi. I don't know what I could be doing wrong. Clean installs and I never touch custom carrier labels.
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
Not sure what to say, its on my G2 on the 2/20 build, always has been on quick tiles, can't recall if its always been there on the pulldown, not that I care about them, just looked because you mentioned it lol. Wifi shows up on my grouper also.
[HTC Droid DNA] dubsx:
I'm know I'm not crazy...lol.
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
Gotta be just the DNA for some reason.

Edit: or just vzw?
[HTC Droid DNA] dubsx:
Yeah...weird.
[HTC Droid DNA] mike_augie:
its going to be a base thing if you go look under ur status see pic below it doesnt show my network and it shows "r" instead of 3G .. even if I switch to 4G it will show LTE but still no carrier network ... its a upsteam thing on base ... been that way on last few builds ... but not roaming or anything .. think I saw maybe under the liquidsmooth thread where they figured out what it was ...
[HTC Droid DNA] jamiethemorris:
I just looked through liquid's commits for dlx and I don't see anything related to that, unless this somehow magically fixed it. https://github.com/LiquidSmooth/and...mmit/5c816ad56fd3fecea06cd93d82bb67ffd3fbe973 nothing in msm8960_common either.
[HTC Droid DNA] gallasm:
Anyone else having issues with the stock messaging app? I can use Hangouts (though MMS doesn't work) but every time I try to use stock Messaging, it hangs at a black screen then force closes after a few seconds.
[HTC Droid DNA] dubsx:
[MENTION=4630655]pio_masaki[/MENTION] do you have a link to your 1/29 build still? It's not on pio-masaki.com
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
You're lucky, I actually do have it mirrored lol

Drink Me

I purge builds as newer builds come up or they get older since space is a little limited. ROMs may not seem that big, but multiple builds of multiple ROMs for multiple devices stacks up.
[HTC Droid DNA] dubsx:
You are the man. I understand completely.
[HTC Droid DNA] jamiethemorris:
Here is the commit that is supposed to fix the carrier label. http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/59936/
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
Nice find! Btw, the notes are quite amusing.
[HTC Droid DNA] jamiethemorris:
Not my find actually, crpalmer posted it in the cm nightlies thread. And yeah, I found the notes entertaining.
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
Updated build available in the usual place.

Updated source

*Built because I had a dream last night, at least, I think it was a dream. Maybe it was a vision and I wasn't quite asleep yet. Anyways, in this dream/vision a kangaroo dressed like a ninja with one of those Uncle Sam hats on came to me and said "Come here, Bobby, I must pass this message to you!" I was like, sure Kangaroo dude in a ninja outfit rocking the Sam hat, I'll be right there! If it had not been a dream I never would have gone, though, my name isn't Bobby. As I approached KangaNinjaSamHatRoo I heard faint whispers, it sounded like the mom from Goonies, the mean old one, which normally would have freaked me out, but instead it was strangely calming..."Bobbyyyyy you must not trust the KangaNinjaSamHat dude...." "Why not Satan?" (The voice WAS pretty nasty, I jumped to conclusions) "He only wants to kang your buillllldddddd" "Oh you mean my unofficial Carbon build I do at random intervals for a device I don't even own anymore because I feel the need to keep supporting devices I've moved on from for months, even years, after I no longer own them, oh great random harsh voice filled with the hoarseness normally only reserved for people screaming at death metal concerts all night?" Then I took a breath. "Yes... that one." Then I woke up.

So I built an update for you guys.

*Parts of this story were dramatized for entertainment value. Names have been changed to protect the innocent.

**My name really isn't Bobby.

***It took me longer to type that out then build the ROM.

Available at pio-masaki.com

Edit: I should mention, music backing this build by jaimethemorris, check it out here
[HTC Droid DNA] jamiethemorris:
Oh my god dude, I have been having a ****ty night and that made me laugh so hard.

Good to see that someone is enjoying my music as well :)
[HTC Droid DNA] gypsy6slayer:
Can I dirty flash if I already am running CarbonROM 4.4, just not the latest release? I know I'm lazy but I don't wanna go through the whole process of backing up!

Help a dude out :good:
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
Should be fine. If you have odd issues, you'll know why :p
[HTC Droid DNA] gypsy6slayer:
Will do when I get home
[HTC Droid DNA] whskytango:
first off i want to say i have been on this rom for 3 days now and love it, i have not had any issues except the MMS issue but i uninstalled Google Play Movies and now MMS works great! i am running it with jamiethemorris kernel and its smooth and fast. also i was getting horrible battery life with other ROMS, i feel like i am getting good battery life with this rom

now screen time says 4hrs 15 mins odd seconds

i don't play any games, i browse the xda app, google+ and other social networks, i watch youtube videos, stream movies from Netflix and hulu to chrome cast, and gmail. just curious what you guys think about my battery life, it works for me for sure, i know i could change cpu settings to get more battery but i don't want a laggy phone, i like the smoothness. i am running wheatly governor and 162MHz to 1836MHz and GPU is set to 500MHz i also am using greenify to hibernate apps.
[HTC Droid DNA] gypsy6slayer:
That is odd but... Noted!

Great battery life by the way love this ROM
[HTC Droid DNA] whskytango:
Yes I know, I forgot where I was reading it at, but they said uninstall Google play movies app and ever sense I did MMS has worked perfect no APN issues sending and receiving work flawless
[HTC Droid DNA] :
I had to do that too. I think I read it in the cm thread for the dlx.
[HTC Droid DNA] :
Awe man... It's your site down, pio?
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
Yeah, not sure why, waiting to hear back.
[HTC Droid DNA] Codiusprime:
Can I use crpalmers kernel with this rom?
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
As far as I know any 4.4 compatible kernel will work, best way is try it out, you can always restore.
[HTC Droid DNA] Codiusprime:
True that. Thanks for the crazy fast response.
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
I'm bored so I'm sitting around watching email. Its kind of like when I was a teenager and watched the phone. Except email is on my phone. And the phone can watch me back. OK so I'm in a never ending staring contest with the unblinking eye.
[HTC Droid DNA] -DroidIsDNA-:
I'm on ose ROM, but I always remember this being stable with good battery life. I'm gonna have to flash it ;)
[HTC Droid DNA] whskytango:
Yes you can use crpalmers kernel or jamiethemorris kernel, I am running it just fine
[HTC Droid DNA] Codiusprime:
Also weird thing y'all, MMS is working fine for me. I installed the latest gapps from cyanogen's site and did a clean install. I noticed it didn't install the Play Movies so I thought I'd give it a shot and I've been having no issues receiving or sending MMS messages.
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
I wonder if its vzw users vs gsm users having that issue? Mini poll, if a few users could chime in if they have play movies installed if MMS works and vzw or gsm? Seems to work in hangouts so using the native SMS app would be better for this little experiment.
[HTC Droid DNA] Codiusprime:
OK! Did a small experiment with the SO.

I am on Verizon

Stock Kernel that came with Carbon

Play Movies was not installed initially and I have not installed it

Got the Gapps package from the CM site

MMS works with both Hangouts (which did not work for me once it broke in the later builds) and the stock messaging app

Hope this helps, this is a zinger of an issue. I work in IT and the worst problems are the ones I can't consistently recreate or problems that only show up with some users. Good luck.
[HTC Droid DNA] Codiusprime:
I was watching a full screen video and I got a text, I accidentally pulled down the quick settings and noticed it had an option to cast screen. I went into the settings menu though and whenever I try to connect to my Chromecast it fails. Is this a fully fleshed out feature? Am I doing something wrong?
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
I have no clue, I don't have a chrome cast. I would imagine it should work fine, attempted it on any other ROM yet?
[HTC Droid DNA] Codiusprime:
No, I just noticed the option. I might throw CM on it later today and see if the option exist there. I wasn't even saying anything about in a "hey this is a bug" context, more of a "what is this how does this work am I being dumb" context. I might play with it later and edit my post.

Edit: I remember CM showing off some system level casting a while ago but I never saw anything else about it or heard if it went anywhere. Interesting interesting.
[HTC Droid DNA] skeltonh:
SMS/MMS Not working on 03/23/14 nightly

Always had MMS issues (wish that was fixed) but now SMS no longer works with this nightly. Still checking on my end of things.

Did dirty update but cleared delvic cache. Did not re-flash Gapps. Everything else works well, so far.

---UPDATE--

Seems to be working now. Guess the folks I tried did not want to reply. Have Samsung Mega that I tested against. Works well.

Thanks.
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
Oh yeah I forgot to tell you guys there's an updated build available, been busy with my son and repeated doctor trips so I built it and uploaded then ran out and forgot to post or update the OP for it.
[HTC Droid DNA] :
Sweet. Maybe this will address the periodic loss of signals I've been experiencing lately.

Btw, hope everything is OK with your boy, pio!
[HTC Droid DNA] thenaut:
I can't get the network to stick to "LTE/CDMA/EVDO". I lose service for a few seconds and then it reverts to global. Anyone else? This just started happening.
[HTC Droid DNA] xlxcrossing:
Has anyone else had wacko things happening to your music while its playing like alien dub step sounds? I haven't had any sounds issues for weeks but as I sit here with 2 pairs of headphones, the phone speaker and 2 music player apps the alien sound happens every few seconds. Weird thing is it almost sounds like part of the music. I disabled all enhancements to make sure it wasn't that. Gonna try a reboot.
[HTC Droid DNA] dubsx:
Latest build? Clean wipe? I have not had a single issue yet, but I disabled DSP manager and am using Viper
[HTC Droid DNA] xlxcrossing:
Latest build. I restarted and it seems to have gone away. I'm using viper too. It was the weirdest thing I've experienced on a smartphone.
[HTC Droid DNA] thenaut:
This is interesting. I was experiencing an issue where I wouldn't receive a call our SMS and then all the SMS would get to me at the same time. Also, some SMS was being received out of order if the message was too long. I had to go back to GPE because of it but I prefer this ROM.
[HTC Droid DNA] dubsx:
Only thing I've notice so far is incoming SMS is quirky at times. I'll get new messages and they won't show as read after I've viewed them.

Other than that, running great. Thanks, Pio!
[HTC Droid DNA] takota6:
I see that the mms issues were caused by Cyanogen back around 3-11. My wife uses a nexus and there threads are lit up about the changes..(she was pissed@me for2weeks)I suppose theirs the trickle down thing going on,but finally lately it's somewhat been resolved..

I think that cyanogen changed code probably with a back door

Æaa\../
[HTC Droid DNA] xlxcrossing:
On a few occasions my touchscreen has become disabled during a call. Have to hold power to reboot. I'm on crpalmers latest so it might be that.
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
My touchscreen gets like that during a call when I'm doing something else on my phone. After the call ends everything is back to normal. It seems like calls try to take priority over other processes and sometimes halts everything else, or in your case causes a kernel panick. Do you have a log?
[HTC Droid DNA] -DroidIsDNA-:
Are there data drop issues on that? It seems to be infected across all ROMs...again
[HTC Droid DNA] caviera:
wi-fi dropping

Yep, wifi data drop here :|
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
Included kernel? Haven't seen WiFi drop unless it's set to turn off at some point or router kicks it off.
[HTC Droid DNA] caviera:
Default with carbomrom
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
Hmm I'll look closer but my WiFi hasn't turned off in a week. Anyways I think they meant mobile data not WiFi.

Clean flashes? Logs? Reboot router? Since I can't replicate it I'll need to rely on you for it. Or does it happen on other ROMs?
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
Updated build available!

This may help with the odd issues some users are having with it.

Updated sources all around, kernel, device, source.

Sorry it took so long to get another one out, I had been planning weekly builds and that just didn't happen, my son started preschool half days a few weeks ago and things just got crazy after that, some time working on IOAP, some time working on that old Iconia A100 (who here had one of those? :highfive:) and some time messing around on my G2 for no reason other then I can, kernels for the old Toshiba Thrive, small issues plaguing the DNA PAC nightly builds, just busy all around doing small things that seem to take 9 years to get anywhere on.

Well now my son is going to preschool for full days now so I'll have tons more time to play. Maybe I can even relax for a bit. Perhaps get back onto working with XenonHD.
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
Hey Pio, how are you doing? Having the boy go to school was fantastic until I had another. Is work going fine?
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
He's going full days now, but he's been ill for the last month so I just stopped android completely. Still no job, life is still the same.

I did, however, see a ROM thread that said something I found interesting. And by interesting I mean vulgar, disgusting and terrifying all at the same time, it offended my sense of honor so much I'm considering just leaving android entirely now.

I'll stop it here before I begin a rant and go to far OT for the thread. The rest will be on G+ I suppose.

That aside, I'm updating builds for the DNA today and tomorrow, and bringing up support for M8 on IOAP, so after my month long break I'll bring something for you guys to play with for a bit.
[HTC Droid DNA] jamiethemorris:
I hope you don't leave android altogether, for the sole fact that I know you enjoy it. Perhaps you could continue development on a different forum if it comes to that. If not I hope you can find another outlet for your hacking needs.

I feel your job situation... I just graduated and it's appalling how many people don't take graduates seriously or give them a chance. It also doesn't help having extremely poor self esteem.

What skills do you have? Have you looked into freelance at all?

Also, I just got a tip from another unemployed friend that apparently recruiting agencies are the way to go, and they're usually free. Him and his wife are finding are signed up for about 8 recruiting agencies and area finding all kinds of potential jobs that aren't posted anywhere.

See this article here: http://www.creatively-driven.com/working-with-recruitment-agencies/ I'm going to be signing up for a few of those myself.

One more thing, I know this doesn't pay very well and is usually a dead end job, but if you're really in a pinch and need any funds you can get, don't forget that coffee shops will hire just about anyone. Hell, you could probably find a job at a Verizon store or something too.

I'm glad you're one of the devs/contributors that actually has integrity.

Don't give up hope!
[HTC Droid DNA] jamiethemorris:
[MENTION=4630655]pio_masaki[/MENTION] you're a pretty smart guy, wouldn't it be nice if "hey, I'm intelligent" was a legitimate thing to put on your resume? Where do you live, I'll keep my eye out since I'm looking for jobs myself anyway.
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
lol I wish that was something I could do, just put something like "Give me a try, I won't ruin your life" and actually get someone interested in me.

Speaking of interest....

UPDATED BUILD AVAILABLE!

Updated sources (couple months worth, should be tasty)

Updated trees/kernel (huge thanks to everyone involved in keeping the dlx up to date)

I have no clue what's changed, I'm sure it won't disappoint since it's, you know...Carbon..and stuff....

I haven't had a chance to run this through a shakedown, but it should perform better then I do. I thank whatever user I have left for their patience, I hope you enjoy the fruits of my PCs labor. Wasn't really mine, my PC was running at maximum load and banging its face against an infinite army of 1's and 0's, swinging its RAM around like a Labrys, for every pair of bits slain, 9,001 appear, and with nothing left to give, Ccache shows up and saves my poor PC from it's untimely demise. Together my PC and it's ever faithful steed Ccache cut down the armies of Binary until nary a bit remained, aside from what was flicked from it's blades onto the scorched field of thermal compound among aluminum and copper mountains. Spewing heat and smoke from it's nostrils my PC and his steed ride off into the lands of /out where it fetches the fair maiden ROM and whisks her away to the safe haven of pio-masaki.com, where she will remain. At least until 3 more ROMs are born, then she's tossed aside like a used spork from KFC. While my PC endured all of that, doing all that labor, I was typing this.

ENJOY!
[HTC Droid DNA] jamiethemorris:
"Hire me, I'm hilarious." :)
[HTC Droid DNA] JPHoller:
Hi, thanks for the update and all of the hard work. I enjoyed reading your description of completing the ROM! When newest update was flashed, I am not able to see me SD card. Using root browser, I can see the SD card "file" but it is not a folder, my usual stuff that was in storage/emulated/0 is now in data/media/0?
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
Yup I see what you mean, I'll need to dig into it a little and see what went wrong, I actually hit this exact issue a couple months back on XenonHD, everything but the SD Card worked, odd.
[HTC Droid DNA] danjull:
Had this issue with vanir. For me it was because cm moved the overlay line from device.mk to cm.mk, so it didn't get called during the build.
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
Nice catch, that would certainly do it. I was still strolling through the ramdisk when I saw this, just saved me the hassle lol
